Hello Classic Crew and welcome to today's video where we're going to be talking about highlights
00:00:05.040
from the ladies of the RNC. So I decided to watch a few of the speeches that women of the RNC gave
00:00:14.120
and I hadn't been watching it as it was on so I decided to hop on YouTube and just watch a bunch
00:00:19.520
of speeches that these women had given and it was really inspiring. They are living conservative
00:00:26.120
values, they have families, they believe in God, and they do all this while being high-powered women
00:00:31.300
in their fields. They are speaking out for the values that they cherish and it is so cool to see
00:00:37.000
women doing it all. They are being mothers and also fighting for what they believe in and I think
00:00:42.900
that's really incredible for us as women to see. One of the cool things about seeing the women of
00:00:48.300
the RNC speak is that you can see that they are a great example of feminine strength. A lot of the
00:00:53.860
time you'll hear the left say that conservatives believe that women aren't strong or shouldn't be
00:00:59.060
strong or can't be strong. That's a lie. Conservatives believe that women's strength comes from their
00:01:04.720
femininity and that women have strengths that are different than men. Women are the practical voice
00:01:09.660
of moral reason. Women can help remind people of their duties. Think about this is kind of a common
00:01:15.520
thing that happens, right? You'll have a mother and she'll have two kids. She'll have two sons and
00:01:20.020
they're fighting and they'll say they don't want to talk to each other anymore. A mother can look
00:01:23.840
at her sons. A woman can look at that situation and say, you guys are having a fight that isn't
00:01:29.400
that important but what is most important is family and you need to resolve this and that's
00:01:35.220
something that is just an example of the kind of strengths that women do have. I also wanted
00:01:40.020
to mention how beautiful the women of the RNC looked. They all wore beautiful dresses, very modest.
00:01:46.820
They all had lovely makeup on. They were all doing their hair really well and it is important
00:01:52.220
to talk about these things because the way that you look is the first impression that you're going
00:01:56.460
to make, especially when you're doing a recorded speech on television. So for them to look as
00:02:01.760
beautiful as they did, it shows to us that they are collected, that they know what they want,
00:02:08.340
that they take care of themselves, and that they're confident in themselves. It makes all of their
00:02:13.180
arguments stronger for them to look good, for them to look ready. And that's really what it is,
00:02:18.740
is that when you look beautiful, you look ready. You look like you're ready to take on the world.
00:02:23.000
You look ready to address an audience and it's exciting to see that because you know that these
00:02:28.940
women came prepared. One thing that I really noticed in all of the speeches that these ladies gave at
00:02:34.400
the RNC was the idea that America is a community. So often when we think about communities, we think
00:02:40.280
about our small groups, the people that we surround ourselves with kind of as individuals or as
00:02:45.760
families or the people who live in our area. But Americans are part of a larger social fabric
00:02:50.020
that makes up essentially one big family. Fellow Americans are your brothers and your sisters,
00:02:55.280
and that's how I feel. And I really loved that these women made this a focal point of their speeches
00:03:00.080
because this is something that women do care about. And this is something that women are kind of
00:03:06.120
the influence for, is communities. Women are the ones who build communities because we're the ones who
00:03:12.280
are creating families, we're the ones who are creating relationships, and we're the ones who
00:03:17.000
want a good place for our children to grow. And so for so many of the speeches that the ladies of the
00:03:21.600
RNC gave to focus on this point, I think made it even more powerful. So now let's get into the
00:03:27.080
individual speeches. I'm going to be talking about six women who spoke at the RNC, so let's get into it.
00:03:32.540
So let's start off with Melania Trump. And I do want to say a couple of things about her before I get
00:03:37.700
into her speech. I think that the left will often write her off as a hypocrite because of her past,
00:03:42.920
but when I look at Melania Trump, she to me is the perfect example of my idea that classic does not
00:03:49.060
mean perfect. I made a video all about this a few months ago, a few weeks ago, and I will definitely
00:03:55.220
link that up above here. But in that video, I talked about the fact that classic, being classic,
00:04:01.020
doesn't mean that you are always classic. It means that you're constantly aiming to be classic over time.
00:04:06.860
And I know that I've made mistakes in my past, and I'm sure that many of us feel that way. But if
00:04:13.560
we're constantly looking towards a higher goal, then that in and of itself is classic. So all I want
00:04:19.980
to say about Melania is that we should judge who she is now, what she's doing now, that she's a
00:04:25.220
mother, that she dresses modestly, that she espouses American beliefs, and not judge who she is now
00:04:31.320
based on what she did in her past. As far as the way that she gave her speech, I was really
00:04:36.420
impressed. I have never seen Melania speak before, and I thought she did a wonderful job.
00:04:41.540
First of all, English is not her first language, and she was very confident in the way that she
00:04:45.440
spoke. And I thought that was really inspiring, because trying to sing in a different language,
00:04:49.740
let alone speak in a different language, is really hard. I do that constantly for opera. So for somebody
00:04:55.480
to get up in front of basically the whole world and give a speech when that's not their first language
00:04:59.100
is very impressive. She made a lot of beautiful points in her speech, but I'm just going to focus on
00:05:04.400
one point from each woman's speech that I talk about today. So I'm going to put a little clip
00:05:09.000
from each speech in this video, and let's get started with that first one.
00:05:12.580
But Donald and I are also inspired by the millions of Americans who wake up each day
00:05:19.160
with a simple yet courageous goal of providing for their families and keeping them safe.
00:05:29.260
As you guys know, I believe that conservative women are the backbone of America. But the fact
00:05:34.360
of the matter is, I really do believe that the people who go out and support their families
00:05:38.860
and are living with that value are the backbone of America. And I love that Melania brought that up
00:05:44.740
because America is built on families. It's built on people who go out and work and are trying to
00:05:50.680
provide for their children. And that was a really wonderful thing to hear, not only from a speaker
00:05:56.560
at the RNC, but from a woman at the RNC. Next up, let's talk about Nikki Haley. Nikki Haley is the
00:06:02.160
former ambassador of the United States to the UN, and she is really cool. I just think she is a really
00:06:09.260
good representation of a strong woman who is living with conservative values but also fighting for what
00:06:15.020
she believes in. And first of all, let's talk about how awesome it was that she was wearing a bright
00:06:20.300
pink dress while she gave that fiery speech. I absolutely loved that. It was just so awesome to see a
00:06:26.340
woman embracing that feminine strength. Here's the clip. There's one thing I've learned. It's that
00:06:33.280
even on our worst day, we are blessed to live in America. I love that she said that because I truly
00:06:41.000
believe that. America was built on lofty principles. And even when we are struggling to live up to those
00:06:47.200
principles, America is the best country in the world. It's a country that was built on an incredible
00:06:52.440
foundation. And even though we don't always reach the ideals that we strive for as a country, as a
00:06:57.600
nation, we're still striving for them. And that is what America really stands for. I want to talk about
00:07:03.580
Elise Stefanik next. So I actually met Elise Stefanik at the Network for Enlightened Women conference last
00:07:09.340
year, and she gave a speech there, and she was awesome. I absolutely loved what she had to say. She is a really
00:07:15.740
big advocate for women in the Republican party, and she is a representative of New York. She's a strong
00:07:22.620
conservative woman who really does get things done. Here's a clip from her speech. Since our nation's
00:07:27.720
founding, generation after generation of everyday Americans served and sacrificed to preserve and
00:07:34.960
strengthen the American dream, the vision of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and the idea that if you work
00:07:42.680
hard and dream big, you can achieve anything you imagine. I believe in the American dream because I've
00:07:50.680
lived it. It was interesting to hear her talk about how she lived the American dream, that her parents
00:07:55.600
were both small business owners, and that she was the first of her immediate family to go to college, and
00:08:00.340
now she is a representative of her state, which is incredible. The American dream is alive and well, and
00:08:06.560
it's something worth fighting for. I believe there is room enough for anyone to succeed, and it was
00:08:12.000
inspiring to see a woman who has lived the American dream fight so hard for it. Next up, I want to talk
00:08:17.880
about Alice Johnson. She was in jail for almost 22 years, and she was there on a drug charge that did
00:08:24.060
not warrant that long of a jail sentence, and she was so positive. I couldn't believe how positive she was
00:08:32.080
after going through something like that. The nearly 22 years I spent in prison were not wasted. God had a purpose
00:08:42.300
and a plan for my life. I was not delayed or denied. I was destined. For her to talk about being in prison
00:08:51.320
for 22 years and that it wasn't wasted, you could see what a religious person she is, how much faith and resolve
00:08:59.400
she has and how she is now going to fight for what she believes in, and I loved to see that. It was
00:09:06.060
really inspiring. Next up, I want to talk about Kristi Noem. She is the governor of South Dakota, and she got up
00:09:13.760
and spoke as well. America is unique in the world. Government's power at all levels is limited to the
00:09:22.040
confines of our constitution, which protects our God-given liberties and civil rights. We are not
00:09:28.640
and will not be the subjects of an elite class of so-called experts. We the people are the government.
00:09:36.980
I love that she talked about how unique America is and how we the people are the government. We get a
00:09:44.160
say in what happens to us, in what happens to our neighbors, in what happens to our state, and in what
00:09:48.740
happens to our country as a whole, and that is something we should not ever take lightly. Lastly,
00:09:54.720
I wanted to talk about a little section from Ivanka Trump's speech. So here's the clip.
00:10:00.160
We want a culture where differences of opinion and debate are encouraged, not canceled.
00:10:05.860
As you guys know, even though I want to have a safe space for conservative women to be able to speak
00:10:11.700
openly, that doesn't mean I don't want a diversity of ideas. I'm just looking for a place where we can
00:10:17.120
all talk about diverse ideas with respect for one another. And I really love that she addressed that
00:10:23.140
because America is built on that. America is built on open debate and having different ideas that push
00:10:29.780
us to be the best that we can be. And it all comes from a place of respect because if you don't
00:10:34.800
respect somebody else's opinion, you can't have a real discussion with them. So I loved that she
00:10:39.760
addressed that. And it's something that I really do hope becomes more normalized in America. The idea
00:10:45.840
that we can have a difference of opinion and have a respectful conversation as well. Seeing conservative
00:10:51.620
women taking the podium and fighting for what they believe in is so inspiring. And I really wanted to
00:10:57.140
share just a few moments of these speeches with you guys. So if you guys watched any of these speeches
00:11:02.320
