This grandson of an Irish immigrant, after whom I was named, Richard Michael Cawley is my grandfather. I was right that - and I always tell kids that, you know, if my small life represents anything is that if you work hard, you study hard, and you never give up on your dreams and listen to people that care about, you can live those dreams. And for me to be up on the platform standing with my right hand in the air in the presence of my family and our new president [Donald Trump], it just tells me this is a great country. My grandfather was right.

For me, my faith informs my life. I try and spend a little time on my knees every day. But it all for me begins with cherishing the dignity, the worth, the value of every human life.

The sanctity proceeds out of the belief... that ancient principle where God says "before you were formed in the womb I knew you," and so for the first time in my public life I sought to stand with great compassion for the sanctity of life.

Donald Trump has made an incredible connection with everyday Americans.
