Elise Stefanik is in the House of Representatives. She is the youngest woman to serve in Congress and the third-ranking House Republican leader. She was the first woman to endorse President Trump in 2016 and the first person to defeat Liz Cheney in 2018.
00:05:10.300People feel right now kind of, hey, is anything really happening?
00:05:13.300Walk us through not just the defense of President Trump, but going on offense against what the Democrats did in the House, and particularly the illegitimate Biden regime.
00:05:22.300Because people are sitting there going, do we have enough political will to actually go there?
00:05:28.300And I've been proud to stand in the breach on the toughest fights for our republic, whether it was supporting Donald Trump in 2016, which I was smeared.
00:05:35.300I was the only elected federal woman who was a Republican in the Northeast who voted and supported President Trump, whether it was standing up against Adam Schiff's impeachment hoax and sham impeachment, whether defeating Liz Cheney, and most recently, those university presidents, two of whom are former.
00:05:53.300But it shows, Steve, one person can make a difference when you have the American people behind you.
00:05:58.300And it set off an earthquake and a reckoning that was long overdue.
00:06:02.300There is an ideological and institutional rot in these so-called elite higher ed education institutions, whether it's the offices of DEI, which are inherently anti-Semitic, whether it's the foreign dollars that are flowing in to prop up these Middle Eastern studies departments that are anti-Israel and anti-Semitic.
00:06:30.300And for the first time ever, we were forced to issue subpoenas against Harvard because they were so entitled they refused to turn over documents.
00:06:38.300They didn't want to turn over documents.
00:06:39.300They thought they could stonewall you.
00:07:30.300My home state of New York, we are getting overrun by illegals who have been shipped up from the southern border.
00:07:35.300And the northern border has had an increase in illegal crossings, including those on the terrorist watch list.
00:07:41.300So in my conversations with Speaker Mike Johnson, in my conversations with my colleagues as the House Republican conference chair,
00:07:47.300we are laser focused on securing the border.
00:07:50.300And listen, the media is serving as the stenographer.
00:07:53.300Not this show, but the mainstream media is serving as the sycophant stenographers for Joe Biden trying to pass the buck and blame Congress.
00:10:31.300I heard James—Gaze told us this morning, James Biden said, hey, I was taking it from Chinese companies, not from the Chinese Communist Party.
00:10:46.300You just gave—I don't know if you had a chance to see it, but you just gave a barn burner speech here at CPAC.
00:10:51.300Okay, I want to—I want you to summarize to this audience that could make it the speech, but more importantly, the mainstream media is saying you're just brazenly aggressive, that you're ambitious, that you don't believe any of this, and you've gone full MAGA because you see that as a path to power.
00:11:09.300No, the mainstream media is dead wrong.
00:11:11.300I am proud to stand up for my district.
00:11:14.300I am proud to stand up for the American people.
00:11:16.300I have strong upstate New York values.
00:11:19.300I represent the cradle of the revolution, the patriots in this country who founded our great republic, and I am so proud every day to stand in the breach.
00:11:40.300Right now, it's not simply also electing President Trump.
00:11:43.300We've had people up here, Matt Ball from Breitbart, others, saying they're already laying traps in legislation, the lobbyists, etc., that when President Trump comes into office, that's when the battle is really going to start.
00:11:54.300Walk us through what you're going to do and can do to make sure that this second term is not partially stolen like the first term.
00:12:01.300Well, let's go back to when President Trump ran in 2016.
00:12:05.300One of the most important parts of his message was about draining the swamp, and we've seen how much deeper the swamp has gotten even since 2016.
00:12:15.300These are unelected, radicalized bureaucrats that think they are entitled to making these decisions rather than the American people and who you elect and who you elect as president.
00:12:27.300I know that President Trump is going to be more prepared than ever before to drain the swamp.
00:12:32.300We need to get that done to hold people accountable for this illegal weaponization and to deliver success for the American people, because President Trump knows that's who he works for.
00:16:49.300We have to bring back Christianity in this country.
00:16:53.300Governor Donald Trump, for that crowd, at least, is framing this election as a fight for Christianity, Christian nationalism, which includes essentially throwing out the separation of church and state.
00:17:05.300What do you see as the implications of his good versus evil framing, more specifically painting opponents as part of a wicked system?
00:17:15.300Well, first of all, I happen to be a Christian and Christianity is about the change inside of you and the projection you make to the world.
00:17:23.300It's really about peace and love and kindness and self control.
00:17:30.300And it's not about trying to engage in passing all these laws that suit your religion, because, frankly, we we have multiple religions and all of them offer something special to each and every one of us.
00:20:41.300It was a year ago I took the stage at CPAC and told you all about a very disturbing conversation I had had with somebody pretty high up in politics
00:20:50.300where they tried to bribe me to stay out of politics.
00:20:54.300Did any of you hear that speech a year ago?
00:20:57.300Well, and you all saw, hopefully some of you heard the audio of that conversation.
00:21:02.300And I'm reminded as I'm here in D.C. and I was in D.C. yesterday.
00:21:07.300I'm reminded that there's so much of that bribery and blackmail going on.
00:21:12.300We send people to D.C. and immediately they get taken in by the swamp.
00:21:18.300We got to start sending people who say, F no, we're not going to have a bribe.
00:39:28.340We cannot continue to have these people leading our party who are losing elections for us.
00:39:33.700And they're letting them steal it right in front of us.
00:39:35.720And right now is a time that we, the people, need to not only take over our government, but the entities behind it and behind the Republican Party.
00:39:42.620And we are seeing that more so than ever.
00:39:44.160And that's why the posse is so powerful.
00:39:46.360Okay, you took out McCarthy, the first Speaker of the House ever.
00:39:49.140You just took out Ronna McDaniel, or hopefully in the next 24 hours it will be official after President Trump wins in South Carolina.
00:39:56.100What about the third leg of the stool, Mitch McConnell?
00:39:59.640I get the sense that Mitch is going to take himself out very soon.
00:40:04.540I think that there is a life expectancy there that I think he's going to be done after this term.
00:40:09.160And so I think there's a lot of good options, actually, that I would love to see a Ron Johnson, a Rick Scott, you know, John Barasso.
00:40:15.900There are some great people coming in there, but the best one that could come in is Carrie Lake.
00:40:19.920If we get Carrie Lake in the United States Senate, oh my gosh, you can't even imagine what we could do.
00:40:25.000And, you know, senators can't get a lot passed in their first term, but you could stop a lot.
00:40:29.800And let me tell you what, Carrie Lake will be a force to be reckoned with when she gets there.
00:43:52.040The apples in your holiday pie taste amazing.
00:43:55.200But it's not exactly the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables.
00:43:59.100The Mayo Clinic says if you want to help prevent heart disease, lower blood pressure, and your cholesterol, eat five servings of fruits and vegetables every day, which, as you know, is almost impossible.
00:44:11.900That's why you need to check out Field of Greens.
00:44:14.280Every fruit and vegetable in Field of Greens was medically selected by doctors to support your vital organs, like your heart, your lungs, your kidneys, and your immune system.
00:44:23.880Yo, folks, the holidays are here, and you need to stay healthy.
00:44:27.960Plus, you'll notice your skin, hair, and nails will look healthier.
00:44:31.800Field of Greens is the simplest way to get those daily fruits and veggies, and it tastes amazing.
00:44:37.540Let me get you started with 15% off your first order.
00:45:10.900Since I've been so heated and over the top the last couple of days, I've asked the man of the cloth to come here and help calm me down.
00:45:18.100This is Bishop Strickland from Tyler, Texas, one of the most devout traditional Catholic bishops or the most devout in this country.
00:45:29.220Now, Bishop, we just played a clip in the last segment.
00:45:33.020President Trump went to NRB yesterday, the National Religious Broadcasters, and gave a full-throated defense of the Christian faith and Christians who are under an onslaught, not just from modern culture, but also from the political apparatus.
00:45:48.060He says, hey, our movement, the MAGA movement, is a movement that's going to basically primarily made up of traditional Catholics and evangelical Christians and Christians, but we're going to defend Christians.
00:45:58.360You were just essentially relieved for cause by the Pope, right?
00:46:07.040Just give us your sense of modern culture and why it's so important that we've got to be at the forefront, whether it's through politics or culture or our faith, of defending Christianity.
00:46:17.640Absolutely, Steve, and I liked what I heard you say earlier, talking about the foundations of this nation as Judeo-Christian, and that's important to remember.
00:46:32.780I'm here to represent the truth revealed to us by God, ultimately through His Son, Jesus Christ.
00:47:03.660As I was asked to come here to CPAC, I knew that my basic message is we need to be one nation under God once again.
00:47:15.040To leave God out of the picture, which is being pushed in many ways, is not faithful to our foundations, and it's not faithful to our future.
00:47:28.060We've got to return to being people of faith.
00:47:31.720Certainly, the diversity of faith is part of the beauty of our nation, but people need to use their God-given freedom to live and to choose how to follow God in their own path.
00:47:44.940We've got to foster that rather than letting it be quieted and, say, just behind closed doors.
00:47:51.740No, we've got to be out in the public square.
00:47:55.380I want to talk about the public square because the people that oppose us are principally neo-Marxist atheistic, and they're coming after the family, and they're coming after the children.
00:48:09.240How do we offend the family, the traditional family?
00:48:11.760How do we offend children, and how do we kind of go on offense to not let the neo-Marxist atheists take over this republic that's built upon a foundation of Judeo-Christian values?
00:48:23.540Well, Steve, that's a mouthful, but truly, it begins with the sanctity of life, the sanctity of the life of the unborn, but that extends to your life and my life.
00:48:36.460Life is sacred from conception to natural death.
00:48:39.420Life, the lawless border is a threat to the sanctity of life.
00:48:45.000Human trafficking, a threat to the sanctity of life.
00:48:48.680The fentanyl crisis, a threat to the sanctity of life.
00:48:51.940It has to be the sanctity of life, and then building on that, the sanctity of marriage.
00:48:58.480Because without marriage being strictly between a man and a woman for life, committed for life, and open to children, then family begins to unravel.
00:49:09.040And sadly, we're seeing that happen constantly in our world.
00:49:13.300The human trafficking is fed too often because families are broken, and children are left on their own.
00:49:19.800Bishop Strickland, can you say a short prayer for us and give our audience a blessing here for CPAC that all the work we do and all the fighting we do is under the tenets of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?
00:49:33.800That's the best thing I can do is pray.
00:49:37.940Almighty God, we ask your blessing for all of us and for this community gathered called CPAC that we may realize in humility that we are all called in your love.
00:49:50.340You love us all in wondrous ways, and you call us to live your truth.
00:49:56.600Help us to humbly come under your mantle of truth and goodness, beauty and love, and guide us away from the darkness that threatens this nation and our world.
00:50:07.780May all people of faith be united in seeking to live the truth you have revealed to us, a beautiful truth that guides and strengthens us if we will only open our hearts to that truth which is incarnate in Jesus Christ.
00:50:24.620And we ask this blessing in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
00:51:14.600And we're inviting everybody to take the Opscore challenge because we just tested the state of Wisconsin.
00:51:19.600And we've got independents going 70 percent for American First Republicans, even Democrats, 43 percent after taking this Opscore challenge.
00:52:58.380For War Room veterans, you know, we have been all over the supply chain issue with China and medications and the active pharmaceutical ingredients.
00:53:10.520China has a stranglehold on us where there's a way to break that.
00:53:15.400I got an emergency medication kit from them.
00:53:18.760The FDA just declared a global shortage of medication and warned that critical antibiotics are in extreme short supply across the United States.
