Play from 0:01[0:01]" You -- rock America. John McCain is a friend of mine -- a colleague and an expiration. Johnny Thomas from that Teddy Roosevelt wing of the Republican Party. Bold and aggressive. Given -- and more than words. And that's the way lives. And holes of the Naval Academy. To the hull of the Hanoi Hilton. From confronting cancer. To making history but his vice presidential selection. John McCain lives for something bigger than himself. You say it's not about him. It's about us. And taking that difficult path. That has always been required. For this nation to be all that was meant to be. This is the most powerful nation in the history of mankind. We've liberated more nations. Invested -- resurgent development. -- more diseases bad more people produced more technology explored more and saved more lives than any other nation. In history. -- accomplishments. All the product of our greatness. The source of our greatness has always been the American people. Who have lived for something bigger than they are. And this historic nation. John McCain has a history maker. And with the selection of Sarah Palin. Made history break here. What I liked most about John McCain. What I like about John McCain is that he does what he tells you he's going to do even if it hurts -- He's always working to make the team around him better and get deployed -- them. Now last weekend Denver. The other party was encouraging us to believe and they told America all over and over yes weekend. But when you look at the past two years with Democrats controlling the house and the Senate. All we've seen is no we can't. They said they can't reach energy independence by finding new sources of oil and gas and our own country. We can't cut spending. We can't have a health care system run by doctors and patients instead of a federal bureaucracy. And they say. We can't win the war in Iraq. Now while the other side may say yes we can -- then votes no you won't. John McCain says. Yes we well. Me ask you. Are we going to exceed energy independence with conservation renewable biofuels and new domestic production of oil and gas. Yeah. Our -- going to develop more nuclear energy clean coal technology and the wind energy we need to generate that power to keep our nation Ronnie. Yes -- well. Are we going to have a health care system that works for patients and doctors and not for a federal bureaucracy. -- Probably going get tied taxes and reformed this tax code to improve this economy. Are going to give love and respect to the unborn child regardless of whether that child has down syndrome or is born into poverty. Yes wave -- going to -- nuclear weapons out of the hands of the Iranians. Yes weighing well. Are we going to win -- war and Iraq."

Play from 4:12[4:12]" Okay. Okay. We're joined."

Play from 4:20[4:20]" Our way don't mind that gave America. A shining city on a hill. Full of hope and optimism. Yes weighing well. Now ladies and gentlemen. I believe in American except journalism. That this is a special land. And to whom much is given. Much is required. We are blessed to be a blessing. But for America to fulfill its god given destiny. We need leaders to help take us there. Leaders who deny themselves of places at the moment. To pursue the joy. Of serving others. John McCain. Is one of those leaders. You know John McCain really is easy to understand. He loves America. And feels a duty to Asbury court to serve this nation he so loves. So when John McCain stands out. On the west side of the capitol to take the oath of office as the 44. President of the United States. He'll put his left hand on the Bible. And you raise his right hand about this side. They can't raise it any higher because of the broken bones he suffered in Vietnam serving his country. And standing up for his men. I don't know about -- But where I come from. That's called true grit."

Play from 5:56[5:56]" And he'll give that same level of commitment. Perry aides. And true -- To be in the next president. Of the United States. May god so bless us and may god continue to bless the United States of America."
