Thank you Father Ventures, and welcome everyone, to the 136th annual Fancy Farm picnic.

[applause] First, in this corner, please welcome the Republicans.

[cheering] And, in this corner, please welcome the Democrats.

[cheering] And finally, we have to welcome the most important people of all: the Democrats who vote Republican every November.

[cheering] [music] [music] This is the last event in America, where people from both parties line up and mix it up and get yelled at by supporters from the other side and they have to stand and deliver.

One of my proudest moments is when I looked at Barack Obama in the eye and I said, "Mr. President, you will not fill the Supreme Court vacancy."

[cheering] [crowd: What have you done!]

The Claytons are to corruption, what Capone was to crime.

[crowd: Lock her up, lock her up!]

It can be very raucous.

Sometimes you can't hear the speaker.

I mean, the crowd gets so into it that, the speakers don't have a chance.

[cheering] You all can cuss me all you want.

I don't care.

It's real simple: I'm the one that was standing there defending your right to say just that.

[cheering] When we were growing up around here, this was the Democratic stronghold of Kentucky.

The first Congressional district was totally, solid Democrat.

In Fancy Farm, you could find five people, maybe, that were Republicans.

It used to be the rock of Jim Walters, the Democratic party.

Thirty years ago, they would say, you could hold a Republican meeting in a phone booth.

Why are you a Democrat, Roy Jones?

Born and raised a Democrat The Republicans can't sway my mind.

I'd vote for a Yaller-dog before I would a Republican.

As Democrats, we're beaten to death with guns and gays and God all the time.

But, what they don't understand is, if Jesus were walking the earth right now, He would be a Democrat.

[crowd: Benghazi lives matter, Benghazi lives matter, Benghazi lives matter!]

It has changed, 180 degrees.

We only have two Democratic leaders: the Attorney General and the Secretary of State that are Democrat.

Everybody else is Republican.

The state's top Democrat, Andy Beshear, isn't here today because he's busy investigating.

[crowd: Boo!]

I'll tell you what he needs to investigate: what the heck happened to the Kentucky Democrat party?

[cheering] It's not your grandpa's Democratic party anymore, which is what we all were.

That's why we're called the Southern Democrats.

Jerry is still a die-hard Democrat because he was a union man his whole life and so was my dad and I was in the union with him for many years.

And so was my dad, a union man.

And that's the reason-- ♪ The sun shines bright in my old Kentucky home ♪ The strength of the Democratic party in western Kentucky was built in the years of Roosevelt because the government helped the area develop.

The Tennessee Valley Authority came in and provided electricity that private enterprise couldn't afford Farmers got help with some programs.

It wasn't really a give-a-way; it was a helping hand.

and that's how the Democratic party built.

♪ Far away ♪ [applause] I was raised a staunch Democrat, but a conservative Democrat.

I'm still registered a Democrat, but we are so conservative that we kind of look Republican.

Jimmy Carter is the only Democratic president that I've ever voted for.

I learned my lesson after that.

When I went door to door in 2012, you would not believe how many people said, "I didn't leave the Democratic party, the Democratic party left me."

You probably can't read this, but this little sticker says, "God bless America."

That would be politically incorrect in the Democratic party.

I mean, they're just so over the top.

[yelling] If you want the Judeo-Christian principles this nation was built on, if you want your second amendment rights, then I ask for you to elect conservatives this November.

The economy is the best it's been in years, the stock market is the highest it's ever been, gas is $1.89, and these people still want to vote for someone like Rand Paul.

How doth Hillary hate us?

Let me count the ways.

[crowd chanting] I knew that was going to come out of his mouth.

The idea of a working-class Democrat, they've stopped reaching out to those people, they've stopped talking their language, and it's turned a lot of people off.

How's it going, guys?

I'm probably more of a, if there's even a term, a liberal Republican, possibly.

I do have some liberal tendencies and I have a lot of the values that maybe some conservative Democrats have.

But, that animal doesn't exist anymore in western Kentucky.

Woman patron: I asked for six dollars.

You know, it's tough to not be a conservative Republican in this district.

That's just the way people are thinking now, so if you want to get ahead in business, if you want to get ahead in your personal life, if you want things to happen in your community, you're going to have to get behind those folks that are going to win the election.

♪♪ I think there was never a Republican in the court house on the fiscal court in Grace County, until six years ago when I ran.

And I voted for him too.

That's the first time I ever voted for a Republican.

That's the first time he's ever admitted it.

The only reason I had to do that was because he was my nephew.

I had to vote for him.
