Transcript
00:00:00.000
All right, well, that was quite the experience. We just got to listen to Donald Trump speak for
00:00:21.540
about an hour and a half. We've got the full Trump experience, the jokes, the stories,
00:00:25.560
the circling back and forth between different stories. He's up there like a stand-up comedian.
00:00:28.980
It really was vintage Donald Trump. And I got to tell you, the turnout was incredible.
00:00:34.480
There was an overflow crowd of hundreds of people, if not a thousand people, standing in the back of
00:00:39.220
this venue. Of course, the entire venue up front was full as well. But it was quite something to
00:00:44.180
be able to witness Donald Trump in action, doing his usual crowd work, which really, that's what
00:00:48.740
it was. It was not the conventional speech. He was off teleprompter and it was truly shooting from the
00:00:54.200
hip. Isn't this better than reading off a frickin' teleprompter? We've got some funny impressions
0.91
00:01:04.660
of Joe Biden. Take a listen to those. And he always points. He goes like this. Thank you.
00:01:13.400
You ever notice? And it's always, he ends up going in the opposite direction. I'll tell you.
00:01:24.940
He also told the audience these long 10, 20 minute, even 25, pushing 30 minute stories about how he was
00:01:35.960
able to defeat ISIS in just a matter of weeks. Take a listen to that.
00:01:39.900
We have the greatest soldiers in the world, but they're not allowed to do their job. I proved that
00:01:44.000
with ISIS. Our soldiers knocked the hell out of ISIS once I took over and took it away from our fake
0.98
00:01:50.660
television generals. We have great generals, but not the ones like Millie and these guys on
00:01:56.520
television. They're fake. I had generals that were really tough. I had generals that I had all back.
00:02:02.860
Okay. We have great military and it's only woke at the top. I don't think it could ever be
00:02:08.580
wokenized at the lower levels because these are great people, tough people. I really don't believe
00:02:13.720
they could do it. It was only at the top. I say, so General Mattis and all these guys that tell me
00:02:20.340
back in Washington that it'll take four or five years to defeat ISIS. Why? Sir, it's not true, sir.
00:02:26.420
It's not true. I said, what's not true? We could do it very quickly. How quickly? Four weeks, sir.
00:02:34.860
Wait a minute. I was told for years and you might not be able to, sir, we can have it done in four
00:02:41.420
weeks. But I'd hit him from the left. I'd hit him from the right. I'd hit him from east and west and
00:02:47.940
north and south there. They would, sir, it would be over very quickly. I said, well, why didn't they do
00:02:54.440
it before? Because, sir, some of the ports and some of these runways are located in countries where
00:03:01.360
they didn't want to be politically incorrect. We wanted to speak to some of the attendees as they
00:03:06.820
left the venue to see what they thought of the speech. And of course, the biggest question on the
00:03:11.180
minds of attendees at CPAC this entire week has been, who will Donald Trump pick as his vice president?
00:03:17.360
That's the question that the straw poll downstairs was asking. And that's the question we wanted to ask
00:03:21.300
attendees as they left the Trump speech. Take a listen to some of their answers. What do you
00:03:24.380
think of the president's speech? No, it's great. If you guys had, if you're able to choose who
00:03:28.420
Trump would pick as his VP, who would it be? Hmm. It's a lot. I don't know. Maybe, uh, I don't
00:03:34.760
know. What's, uh, what do you think, Gary? Oh, I was thinking of Michael Flynn. Michael Flynn.
00:03:38.500
Michael Flynn. He's the only one that has the knowledge, experience. Uh, he was a general. He knows
00:03:46.300
everything. He knows who to keep, who to get rid of. Yeah. Best speech I've ever heard in my life. Who do you want to
00:03:52.300
see the president pick as his VP? Oh, Santa's Florida. It was excellent. Good old comfort zone.
00:04:01.080
He got off his speech and, uh, was spontaneous. And that's what everybody likes about him. He spoke
00:04:07.040
from the heart. What's the one issue you think the president should tackle, uh, in his next four
00:04:11.680
year term? Well, I think we're all in agreement. The border has to be addressed first. You know,
00:04:16.960
we're a very benevolent giving nation. We were a long time before NATO. Well, post-World War II,
00:04:23.820
we were always giving people. And, uh, it's time for a little love to swing back our way right now,
00:04:31.240
here with America to get this border fixed first and then tackle all the other ills that are out
00:04:37.120
there, not only within our government structure and our political structure, but, uh, helping with,
00:04:43.060
uh, national and world security overseas. What about a VP, uh, VP pick for Trump? Who do you,
00:04:48.240
who do you like? I like, they're all, well, the ones that are bubbling up, uh, Christie Noem,
00:04:53.560
Carrie Lake, Elise Stefanik. The ladies seem to be pretty impressive. Although there's a few guys
1.00
00:04:59.240
there that are looking good too. It was, it was a quite frankly, one of the best speeches I've ever
00:05:03.460
seen him give. You know, I liked the, the stories. Um, it was really incredible getting to hear,
00:05:08.320
you know, what happened during the presidency. Um, and I'm really excited for Trump to get back
00:05:12.640
into the white house because we need some change. You know, we have an incompetent president that was
0.74
00:05:17.220
illegally elected. Um, and quite frankly, it's not even supposed to be in the white house right now.
00:05:21.780
How about a VP pick who you get, who you like? Um, well, you know, right now I'm really pulling for,
00:05:26.280
uh, Vivek Ramaswamy. You know, he's a great guy. Um, he has, I think he has a great vision for this
00:05:31.600
country. And, you know, the most important thing about Trump's pick for vice president is because,
00:05:36.100
um, you know, whoever Trump picks, that could be the next president of the United States after
00:05:40.840
Trump. Um, so he needs to make a solid pick. And I think the Vivek is the right pick.
00:05:45.040
Oh, I thought it was great. I think, uh, he exceptionally, uh, or excuse me, in an exceptional
00:05:50.300
way tied back in his, uh, his stories after he kind of go off of it in a way that obviously
00:05:55.300
president Biden is, uh, incapable of doing. Um, he brought up Biden's tendency to do two minute
00:06:00.260
speeches. Uh, Trump is obviously capable of doing those much longer and making them much
00:06:04.300
more interesting. So I'm very excited. What about a VP pick who you like? I like Vivek.
00:06:08.200
Um, I think that the choices that are actually realistically on the table are between, uh,
00:06:12.860
Carson and, and Vivek considering Carson's, uh, extensive resume, but me personally, I support
00:06:17.340
Vivek. I think he could really capture the youth vote like no other. I think he's very,
00:06:21.080
very smart. Uh, so yeah, yeah, I support Vivek. Great. It's wonderful. I like the, the,
00:06:26.760
instead of, um, uh, conservative is the common sense and is make a lot of sense.
00:06:32.300
And for VP, uh, who do you like? Who, who do you want Trump to pick as his VP?
00:06:39.200
Trump's speech today was actually really funny. We connected with him. We love what he said
00:06:45.300
today. Um, I just think that, um, I just really hope he could follow through if he does win.
00:06:51.200
But I think we're really in jeopardy with this election. We really think it could be stolen.
00:06:55.800
Um, and then that would be it. If America falls, that's it. You know what I mean?
00:07:01.700
How about a VP pick? Who do you want to see the president pick as his vice president?
00:07:04.700
Well, Gnomes, definitely. Uh, Christie Gnomes or Carrie Lake, Vivek. We, you know, some, a lot of us,
00:07:13.100
you know, we don't know, we don't trust them. You know, we hear some Soros money and, uh, his big farmer,
00:07:18.700
uh, pharmaceutical deals that he did. That's why we kind of don't really trust him. But I don't know,
00:07:25.100
he might be okay. You don't want to have a too big enough personality, but you need a personality
00:07:29.300
that will act like Trump, get stuff done and shake the things in, uh, in the White House.
0.97
00:07:34.300
What did you, what did you think of the president's speech?
00:07:45.000
I thought it was great and it was very powerful. And I think, honestly,
00:07:48.300
President Trump is our only hope for saving our country.
00:07:51.400
For a VP pick, who do you like? Who do you want President Trump to, uh, to select as
00:07:55.800
I like Ben Carson and Tim Scott. I think they would be a lot more trustworthy than Pence was.
00:08:00.700
Alright, well, we found some Canadians who were in attendance at the speech. What did
00:08:07.600
Well, I know we're Canadian and, uh, the VP choice for Donald Trump doesn't really impact
00:08:11.700
us too much, but if you guys were able to choose, uh, who would you want to see be,
00:08:20.900
And, uh, we were asking attendees what they think of our Prime Minister and since we've
00:08:23.700
got some Canadians, I'm sure we're going to have some interesting opinions on, uh, Mr.
00:08:26.900
Trudeau. What do you guys think of our Prime Minister?
00:08:33.400
Well, we're, uh, we're all going broke. Our taxes are extremely high. The children are being
00:08:38.900
indoctrinated in schools and they're being, um, programmed to be robots just to pay taxes like
00:08:45.000
everybody else. And I think that things need to change because if we continue this way,
00:08:50.500
I think that, uh, the middle class will be completely, completely, uh, demolished, destroyed
0.81
00:08:57.100
and, um, we just, we just can't move on, move forward like this. We need to bring God back
00:09:02.600
in the schools and we need to, to bring God back in, um, in our government because without
00:09:10.200
Well, that wraps up our coverage for CPAC. It's been quite the trip. We've got to see,
00:09:14.400
uh, quite a few Canadians as well in the audience, but of course the main attraction, Donald Trump,
00:09:19.100
he took the show away. All right. For more coverage like this, make sure to follow True
