I am a conservative who happens to not be a Republican.
The message that I gave on the - on the steps today was that you need to stand for those things that are right and empower the individual. Believe in the power of one person. Don't believe that you can't do it. Everybody wants - everybody wants a shot. That we can all agree on. Beyond that, it becomes politics. I'm not talking politics.
We should reject big government and look inside ourselves for all the things that built this country into what it was.
When did it become a problem to be a small businessman and become successful? The small businessman - like my father, or like me?
'Hello my name is the Republican Party and I got a problem. I'm addicted to spending and big government.' I'd like one of them just to stand up and say that.

I'm the whitest guy you will ever meet. The first time I saw an African-American, my dad had to tell me to stop staring.
Let me go over this again on the reclaiming the civil rights movement. People of faith that believe that you have an equal right to justice - that is the essence.

We all know what the problems are: it's tax and spend. One party will tax and spend, the other party won't tax but will spend. It's both of them together.
You can get rich making fun of me. I know. I've made lots of money making fun of me.
When you're true to yourself - not the audience that reads about me in the newspaper or sees a clip someplace, but the audience that actually comes and watches, just like Oprah - they get to know you and they sense something genuine.
Quite honestly, I was running from myself. But I knew how to work Top 40 radio.
