Orlando is playing host to 14 Republican presidential candidates this weekend.

All of the major Republican candidates for president are in Orlando for the Sunshine Summit at the Rosen Shingle Creek.

The event is not a debate, though. Each candidate is getting time to present their ideas for the nation.

But when news of the Paris attacks spread through the summit, the topic became terrorism.

There were only two candidates scheduled to speak after news of the attacks broke -- Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson.

Trump did not address the attacks during his 25-minute speech, instead focusing on U.S. border security.

“We’re going to build a wall and it’s going to be a real wall, it’s not going to be one of these little walls where the jeeps ride over the top, loaded up with drugs and screw up our cities and the lives of our children and everybody else," Trump said. "This is going to be a real wall, it’s going to be a Trump wall.”

Dr. Ben Carson did not address the Paris attacks during his speech but did talk about the Paris attacks afterwards, explaining what he would do if he became president.
 
 “I think America’s involvement should be trying to eliminate them completely, destroy them,” Carson said.

“Once we demonstrate our resolve to defeat not only ISIS but the entire global jihadist movement, I think we will find that there will be adequate people who will join [the cause]," Carson said.

Marco Rubio was the first presidential candidate to appear Friday morning, speaking in front of the crowd of more than 2,500 Floridians.

Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Mike Huckabee Jeb Bush, Donald Trump and Ben Carson followed, each getting thunderous applause and standing ovations.

Rick Santorum, Jim Gilmore, Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, Chris Christie, John Kasich and Carly Fiorina will take the stage Saturday.

The Republican Party of Florida is hosting the event.

Republican leaders said this is a chance for presidential candidates to gain supporters and recruit volunteers to canvass the state on their behalf.

It's home turf for Bush and Rubio, who are hoping to gain some momentum.

With a new slogan and a decent debate performance earlier this week, our political analysts said this weekend could be the bump that Bush needs.

"Jeb is going to have to move forward in a way that makes him feel comfortable and he's going to be at home this weekend," said Michelle Ertel, Republican political analyst. "This will be a perfect opportunity for him to try it out in a friendly home crowd."

Last week's exclusive Florida Decides poll found Bush and Rubio trailing Trump and Carson among likely Florida voters.

Tickets for this event range from $200 to $1,000.

Florida's primary isn't until March 15, but it's still a hotly desired state with the winner taking all of Florida's 99 delegates.
