It's a way but first those sizzling political controversy over -- fast food chain chick filet is at the center of political storm why.
While the company's present it openly opposes gay marriage.
Dan Cathy -- gay marriage invites God's judgment on our nation and then came the responses mayors of several cities recently banning chick -- there's also an online petition to boycott the chain.
But now the counter protest begins some concerted political leaders urging people to support the restaurant chain.
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin even tweeting photos of herself and her husband attacked at a Texas chick filet Governor Palin joined -- -- governor.
How are you Greta welcome home.
It's nice Rihanna -- sleep deprived but I -- delighted me now.
I'll let me start with this -- chick -- and the picture -- -- -- are -- jumping into this because of the cause or because of the response by some.
In what most notably some mayors calling for a boycott.
-- that calling for the boycott Israel have a chilling effect on our first amendment rights and the -- Owner of bed chick -- -- business had merely.
Voiced his personal opinion about supporting.
Traditional definition of marriage one boy one girl falling in love get married.
And having voice -- support for cornerstone of all civilization and all religions.
Since the beginning of time.
He then getting crucified I'm speaking up for -- come and his first amendment rights -- anybody else who would wish to express.
Dare not anti -- keep all sentiment.
But to their support of traditional marriage which President Obama and Joseph Biden -- -- that's supported.
The exact same thing until just a few months ago when nobody had to flip -- to shore up that homosexual voter base.
Whether -- controversy to -- some unusual allegiances so Whoopi Goldberg for instance -- yeah I'm not on the gay marriage issue but on the First Amendment issue and see objects to that the calling for people to boycotted so.
Its eyes and see how -- controversy draws interesting people together.
Well anybody who it is -- protection.
That.
It somebody what was to protect our constitution all of our constitutional rights including that freedom of speech should speak out on behalf.
This individual whose business is being harmed by those who are intolerance.
And our big -- And our hypocritical because they don't agree with this man's personal opinion and this sentiment that he shared.
And they want to see him shut down and shut out of some community east.
That is the most narrow minded and intolerant to -- that they can take very hypocritical also those who protect the constitution all of our rights.
I would think would stand up and be proud Americans and say thank god we have our first amendment rights.
-- -- another issue big victory for -- -- -- Canucks tonight in the state of Texas ten crews went in the nomination.
And I suppose that the and in some ways a victory for the Tea Party tonight your thoughts about I know that you're out campaigning for him and you -- campaign Nebraska for another -- candidacy.
You've you've had some some Winston and recently.
Well and always as a victory for Tea Party patriots who just want to get our country back on the right track and defend our republic.
At this Tea Party patriots who came from all over the country recognizing that Ted Cruz is the man to not just -- -- status quo in Washington but will engage in the sudden and relentless reform of our big centralized federal government.
-- to shrink that government and allow more states rights and allow individual rights and opportunities they recognize Ted Cruz was the man.
It's the Tea Party patriots who works so hard for him.
And done -- he's he's gonna do is so well for all of Americans when he makes it to Washington DC.
A show two to -- have been who has no this guy for twenty years mark would then first started talking about him credit Pique my interest in -- Ted Cruz was.
In mentioning that he had worked with him about twenty years ago and how Ted Cruz was he's and ninth and tenth amendment scholar he.
Understands and has written -- in an really has been able to articulate well.
The beauty of our ninth and tenth -- -- our constitution.
And heat it has applied that throughout his career so he was -- vs Dewhurst who is part of the machine establishment there in Texas and Washington DC.
He was the outsider to come in and promised that reform.
I'm Kerry so -- -- I'm content member and then states' rights of course it is what's embodied in the and and the discussions.
What's your view on the states making decisions -- gay marriage.
I mean you know why you believe that states have that constitutional right to make decisions about -- I have -- -- issues.
But when it comes to some very fundamental.
Very a cornerstone.
Aspects of our society of our culture.
I personally would love to seat -- get it and national dialogue.
About.
What will America continue to define as marriage and -- I do -- you know adds that former governor I say let the states decide that.
And that's where I would be a fiery national office I'd be seeing what the states decide.
And if you see Greta and pay attention.
To where the states have gone with this particular issue and the votes of the people overwhelmingly the people within the space have said they want to continue.
To define marriage as one man and one woman asked.
The Muslims do I'm orthodox Jews do.
Nondenominational Christians do.
Satan practice -- Catholics do it it truly is a cornerstone of religion and civilization.
Let me ask question about the RNC Republican National Convention are you going.
Or not.
I think that there's been a lot of back and forth with that inside based file type dialog about who's invited -- speaking.
-- we've elected in their hands about a week ago we were approached asking if we were interested -- I was interested.
An -- and of course there's some interest there but you know we just kind of want to know forty tells what they have in mind and we haven't heard back.
But like Newt Gingrich like.
Dick Cheney who like -- George Bush others who aren't going adds up participants have speakers.
I think we've all had kind of -- common attitude about what that.
The RNC what that machine is try to perpetuate this go around -- the convention and that's perhaps new people being able to get up there and speak to participants and really rally support for the GOP nominee to get the country back on the right track -- Replacing President Obama and it's failed policies.
I'd come November.
A -- reason they did chase I have to ask you this T yet he and his daughter don't degree Liz -- but Dick -- Dick Cheney had was that sets him -- that he didn't think that you're particularly good choice 2008 his daughter.
But I think prior -- the first time that I've heard tweeted something in the country she thought that you are but you're response to -- Dick Cheney.
So we'll see -- how.
Dick get.
Excuse me vice president Cheney.
Never miss fires then evidently he's quite convinced that what he had -- evidently read about -- it by the lame stream media having been.
Written.
What I believe is a false narrative over the last four years evidently Dick Cheney.
Believe that stuff and that's a shame so he cared strikes me as being a mistake here's where the mistake would have banned Greta.
I believe it's.
Had I not answered the call I was honored to get to run for vice president of the United States alongside Senator John McCain I was honored to accept the nomination.
From the GOP.
And dumb I think that that the mistake would -- me just stabbed.
It deciding that I want 8687%.
Approval rating up there in Alaska as the governor movement and shape it and -- -- current politicians and businessmen go to prison for.
Crony capitalism.
Working on sixteen to 20% of domestic energy supplies being able to be increase to -- -- Alaska's resource development.
-- ethics reform legislation that I was working on that led to that 86% -- -- -- Does decide -- not want to be bloodied up I don't want like family to go through what we will have to go through an order.
To put our -- forward in the name of service to this country but I did it it would have been a mistake.
To have hunkered down.
Just -- -- up luxurious if you will -- comfortable lifestyle in Alaska instead we'd like so many other people across this country decided.
We will do all the week he had.
In order to defend our republic put America back on the right track and I believe I did the right thing in accepting -- call.
Went to look to -- -- as I went back and looked at does the poll numbers before you were selected.
As the vice president afterwards and that the time when the financial crisis hits and it could send people can look I'm Greta wire to see.
The impact.
I mean how -- change when you -- it's but the second thing is that -- note that debt.
Vice President Cheney took a little bit of a slap that Condoleezza rice's books -- got -- teared up he's got two daughters.
And so and I believe that still is -- a good product -- but he is he -- he's.
He's not afraid -- say things about the women's but I don't know what that means.
But anyway now I get everybody and everybody -- is once in -- and in the GOP establishment what I have found Greta.
Sometimes you're the Louisville slugger baby sometimes -- the ball and evidently in these last months.
And -- many many comments from those within the GOP establishment on the ball that's okay.
I'm not there were -- hard for senate candidates for house candidates for those.
Downstream positions that it and can help stock this failed policy.
That Obama has put in place and it's going to tell these people whom.
I will only be able to assist with -- in gaining some victory along with other constitutional conservatives were out there.
-- their life's -- doing all the we can to trans.
Form in a very positive.
Ad -- restorative -- -- and transform our government into something that is back on the side of the people instead of on our backs.
I just docked him.
Thank you so much grass and out of.
