Loomer Unleashed - LIVE: CPAC Coverage Day 3

00:00:00.000 I encourage you all to, if you ever read cynical reports of, what's this trafficking thing?

00:00:05.000 I don't know.

00:00:06.000 It seems like they're making it up, putting it in movies and everything else.

00:00:09.000 Chris, you and I are old now.

00:00:13.000 You seem to have lost your hair.

00:00:15.000 I seem to have had my hair turn a different color.

00:00:18.000 We both had brown hair at one point when we were working together on the hill.

00:00:22.000 You're now doing great work in Georgia.

00:00:28.000 What can this room do?

00:00:30.000 What can CPAC do to help those of you who are in law enforcement get the bad guys and make sure they don't victimize any more kids?

00:00:37.000 Well, and Sarah was talking about one element.

00:00:40.000 That's restoration.

00:00:41.000 Think about it.

00:00:41.000 Let's talk a little bit about what human trafficking is, sex trafficking.

00:00:44.000 And what we see in Georgia, we're talking about the average age of a victim is a 14 to 17-year-old girl.

00:00:50.000 So we're talking about the 8th to the 11th grade.

00:00:53.000 And human trafficking breaks human beings.

00:00:57.000 And I believe everybody in this room believes in the dignity, value, and worth of every human being.

00:01:01.000 And we have an obligation to put those human beings, try to put them back together.

00:01:05.000 But you do it through restoration.

00:01:06.000 But you also do it, Matt, through legislation.

00:01:09.000 And that's why your ranking system matters, to make sure that legislators and the public understand what laws need to be passed.

00:01:17.000 Because as you said eight years ago when I became Attorney General, people said that we were making this up.

00:01:22.000 But we're literally having children.

00:01:23.000 Making it a political issue.

00:01:25.000 Making it a political issue.

00:01:26.000 Trying to scare people.

00:01:27.000 But when you have 14 to 17-year-old girls being bought and sold 5 to 10 times per day, this is an issue that I think we not just have a legal obligation, but a moral one as well.

00:01:40.000 Absolutely.

00:01:41.000 So education.

00:01:43.000 Every single person in this room can be trained on the signs of human trafficking, and I'd encourage you to do it.

00:01:49.000 We and George, our First Ladies, put a training system together. 1.00

00:01:52.000 You've got to educate, you've got to legislate, but you also have to prosecute.

00:01:57.000 And that's what we've done.

00:01:58.000 So in 2019, in our state, our governor, our legislature gave us the authority to prosecute human trafficking.

00:02:04.000 In these five years, we've rescued and assisted over 200 victims.

00:02:08.000 That's 200 lives that will forever be changed.

00:02:12.000 We've convicted 50 individuals on trafficking, and this is sellers as well as buyers and enablers.

00:02:19.000 What's an enabler?

00:02:20.000 Well, we prosecuted a clerk in a hotel that was in on the act as well.

00:02:25.000 And as Sarah said this, you cannot be serious about fighting human trafficking if you're not willing to secure the border.

00:02:32.000 Because 80% of human trafficking is gang-affiliated, both in the country as well as transnational.

00:02:40.000 Gangs as well as the cartels.

00:02:42.000 And finally, we have an administration that's not willing to coddle criminals.

00:02:47.000 But President Trump and A.G. Bondi and Kash Patel, they're willing to go after and partner with us too.

00:02:53.000 So the cavalry is coming.

00:02:55.000 And the people in this room are the cavalry as well.

00:02:58.000 And God bless you for doing it.

00:03:00.000 So when you go to the airport and the either TSA official or the airline official, you know, I have five daughters.

00:03:09.000 And when they look at me and ask me a couple extra questions, or my daughter's a couple extra questions, you might think that they're harassing you.

00:03:15.000 They're not.

00:03:16.000 Because what these perpetrators do is they act like the little girl with them or the little boy with them is their kin.

00:03:23.000 And oftentimes, especially with all this illegal immigration, they're not.

00:03:27.000 And so welcome those questions.

00:03:29.000 And if you see something that doesn't look right, go tell someone, I don't think this looks right, because they're masquerading as families.

00:03:37.000 But they're really victimizing these kids.

00:03:39.000 Is that right, Chris?

00:03:39.000 And that's a critically important point.

00:03:41.000 When you train, you'll see the signs of human trafficking.

00:03:44.000 Then you've got to get over the stigma of actually going to somebody in law enforcement and saying, hey, I think something's wrong.

00:03:49.000 We would be better off to be wrong than let one more child be abused, okay?

00:03:55.000 Please take this seriously.

00:03:57.000 So what Chris is saying is...

00:03:59.000 All of us together, collectively, all of you who support CPAC, we're the only group that ranks and rates every state legislator, every state senator, every state House member, every U.S. senator, every congressman, every governor.

00:04:13.000 We're ranking all these people.

00:04:15.000 There's all these international people.

00:04:17.000 I think we should start rating the EU personally, the EU Parliament as well.

00:04:22.000 But it's all the same stuff, guys.

00:04:25.000 We're fighting all the same evil, satanic battles.

00:04:29.000 But that's a good tool, and what we're using that tool for, including the money when you buy tickets and everything else, it's going towards these causes.

00:04:39.000 One of them is hold these legislators accountable, and human trafficking is one of the ways we want to hold them accountable.

00:04:47.000 Julio, the border, you spent a lot of time there.

00:04:50.000 Sarah spent a lot of time there.

00:04:53.000 Mexico's a complicated country.

00:04:54.000 As I said, Mexico City's a beautiful country.

00:04:58.000 They've elected this left-wing leader, unfortunately, to the presidency.

00:05:03.000 But behind that, there's a lot of Mexican victims in the country with the rise of the cartels and everything else.

00:05:10.000 Give us a little insight of the latest in the battle.

00:05:12.000 By the way, I think the cartel heads are sweating a little bit that Donald Trump was elected president.

00:05:18.000 Definitely a change dynamic.

00:05:21.000 That's what always would surprise me, especially...

00:05:24.000 When the border crisis was at its peak, because whenever Republicans would obviously criticize saying this is the wrong approach, they'd say, well, that's racist.

00:05:33.000 You're just fear-mongering.

00:05:34.000 That would back us down.

00:05:35.000 I mean, you know, I always say they used to put me on CNN because I looked like Colonel Sanders or something.

00:05:40.000 It's like when the black commentator knows that they call the white guy a racist, initially, five, six, seven years ago, the white guy's like, I've got to get out of this conversation.

00:05:51.000 There's no win here.

00:05:52.000 Today, that's all changed because people of color have had enough of everyone being called a racist because there's actual racism and they've ruined the term by making it a political term. 0.96

00:06:03.000 Right, and so it would make me upset because obviously with the increase of illegal crossings and human trafficking, that became more profitable than drug smuggling because that became a cash cow. 0.97

00:06:21.000 He said one of the most idiotic things, but it's because he was forced through by policy. 0.99

00:06:25.000 Which one? 1.00

00:06:26.000 It was at the very beginning of the Biden administration where he said, if any child comes to the border by themselves, we will take them in.

00:06:35.000 And that was the worst thing to say because that was the dinner bell for these human smuggling organizations because not only is there a guarantee of a supply that they can provide for this demand, but it was...

00:06:50.000 It was the green light.

00:06:52.000 It was the green light for that.

00:06:53.000 And then, of course, as the cartels got that influx of cash, the Mexicans became victimized even more from their activities.

00:07:03.000 So by emboldening these very dangerous criminal organizations, not only is it a threat to us here in the United States, but it's also a threat to the everyday Mexicans. 0.99

00:07:12.000 And so having a strong border and actually taking on these organizations...

00:07:18.000 It's actually the best thing that we can do, not only for the United States, but also for our neighbors in Mexico.

00:07:23.000 And I went to Oaxaca after the election to interview migrants to see what they were planning on doing now that Trump was going to be in office.

00:07:31.000 And we were interviewing these group of Venezuelans.

00:07:35.000 And as we were interviewing them, a small motorbike came up from behind.

00:07:43.000 And if anyone has seen any videos...

00:07:46.000 From violence in Latin America. 0.92

00:07:48.000 If a motorbike is coming, that's not usually a good sign.

00:07:50.000 And this guy jumps off.

00:07:51.000 He tells me to stop recording.

00:07:53.000 He starts interrogating me and my team.

00:07:55.000 And we're trying to figure, whoa, whoa, what's going on?

00:07:57.000 We have permission.

00:07:59.000 They're fine with talking with us.

00:08:01.000 And I was very concerned because I didn't know who this guy was.

00:08:04.000 I didn't know if he was affiliated with any local gang or the cartel.

00:08:07.000 It turned out that he was actually concerned about us, outsiders, coming into this camp because he said...

00:08:15.000 The reason why I'm doing this and trying to force you guys out is because there's always people coming into the camps and taking away the women and children.

00:08:24.000 And so, as Sarah was saying, this is real.

00:08:27.000 And it was the worst it's ever been with the destructive policies and the deliberate policies from the Biden-Harris administration.

00:08:35.000 It is absolutely disgusting that this was not only allowed to happen, but it was made to happen.

00:08:42.000 At the tune of over 500,000 children coming into our country unaccompanied.

00:08:48.000 Just think of that number.

00:08:50.000 Over what period of time?

00:08:51.000 That was during the Biden administration.

00:08:52.000 So you had over 500,000 children.

00:08:55.000 We don't know where they are, right?

00:08:57.000 Over 300,000 were placed into homes we have no way of tracking, so we have no idea where they're at.

00:09:05.000 Some of these places where they placed them, and I give Tara Rodas so much credit for this, because she's a hero whistleblower from HHS, right?

00:09:13.000 Tara, for those of you who don't know, look her up.

00:09:16.000 But some of these children were placed in strip clubs. 0.99

00:09:20.000 Like, HHS literally turned over people who wrote down strip club addresses for these children and they can't find them.

00:09:28.000 So now that we have Tom Homan in office, this is, yeah, as the boarders are. 0.97

00:09:34.000 As the boarders are. 1.00

00:09:36.000 With President Trump, you know, this is a top priority for them to locate these children to ensure that if people are abusing them or if they're in the hands of abusers, that those people are prosecuted by the Department of Justice with Pam Bondi.

00:09:50.000 So Chris, can I say something on this real fast?

00:09:52.000 I want you to jump in, but like, there's a political side to this too, which is the Democrats cynically believed that they own the black vote.

00:10:03.000 That they own the Hispanic vote, that they own the immigrant vote, that they own the gay vote. 0.94

00:10:08.000 They own these voting blocs.

00:10:10.000 And so I believe they opened up the border not because they have compassion for kids. 0.99

00:10:14.000 If they're giving them to owners of strip clubs and stuff, that shows that was crap. 0.95

00:10:18.000 But the fact is, this was a cynical ploy to let millions of people, 15 million at a minimum, into this country to change it demographically. 0.93

00:10:27.000 I think the irony is a lot of those people, when they realize who we are, And what America's all about, more and more of them are going to vote our way.

00:10:35.000 But what's your take?

00:10:36.000 Am I wrong about the politics?

00:10:38.000 No, you're right.

00:10:38.000 And here's the other thing that I think this is important for conservatives to understand.

00:10:43.000 You know, when I got into this eight years ago, we didn't have a lot of criminal jurisdiction, but now we have human trafficking and gangs and organized retail theft.

00:10:49.000 And I was told by somebody on the other side, be careful dealing with some of these issues because, Matt, like you said, you're going to get criticized for who the criminals are.

00:10:57.000 And I said, well, I don't care what the criminal looks like.

00:10:58.000 I care about the act that they engage in.

00:11:01.000 But if we're going to look at something, let's look at who the victims are.

00:11:04.000 Who is most often vulnerable to human trafficking?

00:11:08.000 Lower income, racially diverse immigrant populations. 1.00

00:11:12.000 Who's most susceptible to violent crime and gangs?

00:11:14.000 Lower income.

00:11:15.000 Racially diverse immigrant population.

00:11:17.000 And when the woke DA won't prosecute property crimes and the CVS and the Walgreens and the Walmart has to close, which communities are most often Impacted.

00:11:27.000 Lower income, racially diverse. 1.00

00:11:29.000 It's us conservatives that believe in the dignity, value, and worth of every human being.

00:11:34.000 And we're the ones that believe no matter what your race or gender or where you're from, you deserve to be safe in this country.

00:11:40.000 And we now have a president that agrees with that.

00:11:43.000 And we in the state of Georgia believe in it.

00:11:45.000 And it is paying dividends electorally as well.

00:11:47.000 And as much as I love a good political fight, I love a good political fight more than anything else, I'd give all that up.

00:11:55.000 To be able to shake hands with the head of the Democratic Party and say, let's work on this together.

00:12:02.000 Absolutely.

00:12:02.000 You would save the lives of millions of children if they will just engage us on the idea that if you don't secure your border, you're victimizing children.

00:12:13.000 It's a human issue.

00:12:15.000 It's not conservative, liberal, Republican, or Democrat.

00:12:18.000 It is a human issue.

00:12:20.000 I can't emphasize this point enough.

00:12:22.000 I always make sure whenever I'm talking about this issue, no one had heard of Tren de Aragua before 2021. It started in Venezuela when all the Venezuelans were starting to leave back in the 2010s.

00:12:36.000 It then became a Latin American issue, and then when Biden opened the border...

00:12:40.000 And then we had all these Venezuelans coming, Trende Aragua followed, and now we have cells all across the United States, and like, okay, it's great that we're really trying to make efforts to crack down on them, but it had to take cases like Lincoln Riley in order for people to actually take this seriously, and so many other victims as well, and that's why I have to laugh, because as we've all seen, there's been anti-ice protests by people who look like me. 0.87

00:13:05.000 And they're saying, we have to stop deportations.

00:13:08.000 You have to screw ICE and all this stuff.

00:13:10.000 They're taking away hardened gang members right now.

00:13:13.000 That's who they're...

00:13:14.000 Come on, Julio.

00:13:15.000 I know you're as cynical as I am.

00:13:17.000 How are these...

00:13:18.000 First of all, I wouldn't take on Tom Homan if you gave me like a million dollars.

00:13:22.000 He scares the hell out of me.

00:13:23.000 You know, he's going to be here and I'm going to be very deferential.

00:13:27.000 But second of all, these are paid agitators.

00:13:31.000 Sometimes they have a pink you-know-what hat on their head.

00:13:34.000 Sometimes it says BLM on their shirt.

00:13:37.000 Other times it's like anti-ice.

00:13:40.000 This is a coordinated, well-funded campaign to destabilize our political...

00:13:46.000 Gains, right?

00:13:47.000 And momentum.

00:13:47.000 And Antifa.

00:13:48.000 And Antifa as well.

00:13:50.000 Oh, no, Antifa.

00:13:50.000 Chris, I don't know if you understand this.

00:13:52.000 Excuse me.

00:13:52.000 I always forget.

00:13:53.000 I know we're friends.

00:13:54.000 General.

00:13:55.000 Excuse me.

00:13:56.000 Antifa is a...

00:13:57.000 What did the guy say?

00:13:58.000 The FBI director?

00:13:59.000 It's a made-up...

00:14:00.000 It's an idea.

00:14:01.000 It's an idea.

00:14:01.000 It's not an actual...

00:14:02.000 It's an idea until they punch you in the face, and then it's not such a good idea.

00:14:06.000 And I would say that after 2020, because of the unbalanced judicial system that we previously had...

00:14:13.000 Even though the rioters stopped, the systems that were in place in 2020 to maximize that chaos, it never went away.

00:14:20.000 And so that's why I kind of have faith now that we have Kash Patel at the FBI. Kind of.

00:14:25.000 I do.

00:14:27.000 That those networks will finally be dismantled.

00:14:29.000 And that's not to say there can't be any other types of chaos, but the systems, that never went away.

00:14:35.000 Can I just say, you have children, I have children.

00:14:40.000 Marty's probably done this.

00:14:42.000 Here I'm living in the swamp.

00:14:44.000 Not very popular in the swamp.

00:14:46.000 Not very popular in my neighborhood.

00:14:48.000 Not very popular with the local paper.

00:14:51.000 You know that.

00:14:52.000 And not afraid.

00:14:52.000 Not afraid to put the Trump sign up.

00:14:55.000 I had to sit my girls down. 0.63

00:14:56.000 I hated this.

00:14:57.000 This is one of the grossest moments.

00:14:59.000 Sat them down and said, the FBI comes to the door.

00:15:03.000 Don't let them in. 0.98

00:15:04.000 Don't talk to them.

00:15:05.000 Don't trust them.

00:15:07.000 I felt like...

00:15:09.000 Right.

00:15:09.000 Dirty in saying that because I'm a pro-cop guy, but that's the reality.

00:15:14.000 Kash Patel coming in, Tom Homan coming in, Trump coming in, people like Chris Carr in office, we've got to stop the weaponization.

00:15:24.000 Well, that's it.

00:15:26.000 And I know we're running short on time, and I just want to say this really quick, too.

00:15:29.000 She's a TV person, so she's very good at the prompter. 1.00

00:15:32.000 When it's over, it's over.

00:15:34.000 Yeah, it's over, it's over.

00:15:35.000 It's like, okay, sorry.

00:15:36.000 But this is what Matt's saying is absolutely essential.

00:15:40.000 What we were up against the last four years was a weaponization of our bureaucracy in such a way that it was destroying the foundation of our nation.

00:15:49.000 It was breaking and tearing our nation apart.

00:15:52.000 The reason we have...

00:15:53.000 We're going to have people like Kash Patel and others thank God in these bureaucracies is to root out that corruption and to expose it.

00:16:02.000 And the only way we're going to be able to protect ourselves and our families is by doing what's right.

00:16:09.000 Common sense tells us don't leave the border wide open.

00:16:12.000 Don't do it.

00:16:13.000 We protect our homes.

00:16:15.000 We shut our front doors at night.

00:16:16.000 Why do we leave our border wide open?

00:16:18.000 This is gonna take a lot of work.

00:16:20.000 It's gonna take the FBI. It's gonna take the DOJ. It's gonna take UAG, you know, working day in and day out in order to save our country.

00:16:28.000 Because as much as we're talking about the victimization of these children, our adversaries are out there.

00:16:34.000 China.

00:16:36.000 Iran and others and they're seeing that border and they saw that border as the last four years as an open sieve to destroy our country and many times it comes across as a proxy war like they did with fentanyl coming from China. 0.87

00:16:51.000 And so we have to be very aware and I'm just so grateful.

00:16:55.000 So grateful to be living in this time, in this amazing time where I know, I know our country is on the right track.

00:17:01.000 Did this room do a good job or what?

00:17:02.000 Wow, this room is amazing.

00:17:04.000 Thank you, guys.

00:17:04.000 You saved America.

00:17:05.000 I think you saved civilization.

00:17:08.000 I do, too.

00:17:09.000 I know that sounds like a broad term, and I just want to say in conclusion, thanks for being here, of course, and keep up the good work, Chris.

00:17:16.000 And we got two real journalists here.

00:17:18.000 These are real journalists.

00:17:19.000 Thank you.

00:17:20.000 The new version of journalists.

00:17:23.000 But I just want to say one thing in conclusion.

00:17:26.000 When you see the videos throughout the next couple of years, when you read the false charges about how either Cash or Tom Homan or Kristi Noem or Donald Trump are filling the gap, are destroying the lives of these mostly Hispanic people who are here illegally as deportations occur.

00:17:49.000 All the lies and slurs that will come out.

00:17:51.000 Videos that will be true probably deepfakes, you know, instead of the ones when they said, well, Biden doesn't really have Alzheimer's.

00:17:58.000 He's actually sharp as a tack.

00:18:00.000 Yeah, whatever.

00:18:01.000 When you read all that, understand behind that what they're doing actually in securing the border is saving the lives of millions of kids who would have committed, you know, killed themselves with fentanyl, who would be victimized because...

00:18:19.000 They don't matter in our system.

00:18:21.000 So don't let them lie to you.

00:18:23.000 Know what's behind the headlines.

00:18:26.000 Every country that believes in freedom starts with a border.

00:18:33.000 And Chris and I are Catholic, even at the Vatican, by the way.

00:18:36.000 You can't get in the Vatican without an appointment.

00:18:39.000 And a country shouldn't be any different than that.

00:18:42.000 So thank you all for being here today and keep up the fight.

00:18:45.000 I appreciate it.

00:18:46.000 Thank you.

00:20:08.000 Ladies and gentlemen, blessed are the prosecuted fixing justice.

00:20:14.000 Please welcome Attorney General of Pennsylvania, Dave Sunday, Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, Glenn Jacobs, CPAC's Nolan Center for Justice Senior Fellow, Savannah Chrisley, and your moderator, Director of CPAC's Prosecutors and Law Enforcement Advisory Council, Frank Russo.

00:20:42.000 You nailed it.

00:20:43.000 Thank you.

00:20:44.000 What's that?

00:20:44.000 I said you nailed it.

00:20:45.000 I was following you and you got there.

00:20:49.000 Go Vols!

00:20:52.000 I'll ignore the Go Vols being a Georgia Bulldog myself, but thank you all for joining us today.

00:20:57.000 We are honored to be here with such an important panel focused on one of the most important issues.

00:21:02.000 You just heard from our chairman, Matt Schlapp, that the weaponization of government is tearing our country apart.

00:21:08.000 And thankfully, in November, the voters brought an end to that damage.

00:21:16.000 But unfortunately, there are still victims of that weaponization.

00:21:20.000 And thankfully, there are prosecutors and elected leaders who are working to fix it.

00:21:26.000 So I want to start with someone who's had to live through this weaponization.

00:21:29.000 Savannah, you are well known to this audience, not just for a slightly popular show that some of us have seen on Bravo.

00:21:36.000 My wife's a little jealous. 1.00

00:21:37.000 Well, thank you.

00:21:38.000 But also for some of the challenges your family faced when prosecutors who put politics over public safety harmed your family.

00:21:47.000 Can you tell us your story?

00:21:48.000 Two years ago, both my parents went to prison for a combined 19 years.

00:21:53.000 My dad got 12 and my mom got 7. This was in Fulton County, Georgia.

00:21:58.000 And where prosecutors labeled us the Trumps of the South.

00:22:02.000 And I spoke at the Republican National Convention, and as I like to say, I would take that as a compliment.

00:22:08.000 I will be the Trumps of the South.

00:22:10.000 I'll take it.

00:22:11.000 But it's sad.

00:22:13.000 I mean, because of that, I got custody of my 10-year-old sister and 16-year-old brother at the time.

00:22:21.000 That's when I learned to fight.

00:22:22.000 That's when I learned to fight and to uncover the injustices that happened with us.

00:22:27.000 There were huge Fourth Amendment violations, and the government even went to accuse us of money laundering and terrorism just so that they could access certain financial documents.

00:22:37.000 And when you have things like that happen, it taints the entire case.

00:22:43.000 And I tell people all the time, if you want to convict them, convict them.

00:22:46.000 I'm fine with that.

00:22:47.000 But do it based off of the truth.

00:22:49.000 And the government shouldn't be allowed to break every single law in order to get a conviction.

00:22:54.000 And our judge, too.

00:22:56.000 That's a whole other story.

00:22:57.000 First off, I do not believe prosecutors should have full immunity.

00:23:01.000 That, we have to get rid of that.

00:23:03.000 People have to be held accountable.

00:23:06.000 And our judge.

00:23:08.000 She is the youngest African-American female appointed by Obama.

00:23:12.000 And you look at her Wikipedia page and her notable cases are ruling against Trump for mail-in ballots.

00:23:18.000 She also refused to allow the victims of Hurricane Helene to register to vote late.

00:23:23.000 And then my family's case.

00:23:25.000 So I think you have something in common there.

00:23:27.000 So you mean to tell me that the weaponization of justice actually has a face?

00:23:31.000 And it's your family.

00:23:32.000 It does.

00:23:33.000 It's families who care about the communities they live in.

00:23:35.000 And I think what's sad is we had the money to fight this.

00:23:40.000 And we spent millions of dollars.

00:23:43.000 I want to say it was about six million dollars on trial lawyers.

00:23:46.000 And they still ended up in prison for a combined 19 years.

00:23:50.000 And most people don't have those resources.

00:23:53.000 That's why the DOJ has a 98, 99 percent conviction rate.

00:23:57.000 Because they scare people.

00:23:59.000 And people have to plead out no matter if they're guilty or not.

00:24:02.000 And one in 20 criminal cases results in a wrongful conviction.

00:24:05.000 I would argue it's more than that.

00:24:06.000 And that is why I had lunch at the White House on Thursday.

00:24:09.000 And that's why I'm a daughter fighting for justice for my parents and to get them home.

00:24:18.000 So now that we know what the problem is, we have two gentlemen who are going to have to fix it.

00:24:23.000 No pressure.

00:24:24.000 Mayor Jacobs, can you talk a little bit about accountability and redemption?

00:24:28.000 Because we still want to hold the actual criminals accountable.

00:24:32.000 And then we want to ensure those who come home have the resources to stop that cycle of crime.

00:24:37.000 I know you've been doing that work in Tennessee.

00:24:38.000 As conservatives, we believe in public safety.

00:24:42.000 We also believe in fiscal responsibility.

00:24:44.000 On the left, what they've done with the criminal justice system has undermined both.

00:24:49.000 They've used the criminal justice system for weaponization against political opponents while allowing violent criminals to literally go free.

00:24:56.000 And it's been done at a huge cost, not only to public safety, but also fiscally.

00:25:01.000 First of all, law enforcement's an extremely difficult job.

00:25:05.000 We lost an officer that was killed in line of action a couple years ago.

00:25:09.000 He was a young man named Tucker Blakely.

00:25:11.000 So my hat's off to everyone in law enforcement as well as in the criminal justice system at large.

00:25:19.000 As you say, when you think about the criminal justice system, obviously some folks have to go to jail.

00:25:29.000 They've committed crimes that necessitate that they have to be removed from society.

00:25:33.000 We also have to realize that 97% of these people will come back out of jail at some point, and what happens then?

00:25:41.000 So in Tennessee, we're very invested in reentry programs that...

00:25:47.000 Lessen the rate of recidivism.

00:25:50.000 That's the three-year rate of when people go back to jail.

00:25:52.000 Across the country, it's 70%.

00:25:54.000 In Tennessee, it's still at 50%.

00:25:56.000 One of the organizations that we work with is Men of Valor.

00:25:59.000 It's a Christ-centered prison ministry that walks with men through their incarceration as well as post-incarceration.

00:26:09.000 The people that complete this one-year program...

00:26:11.000 It is a great program.

00:26:13.000 The people who complete this one-year program, their recidivant rate drops to less than 15%.

00:26:18.000 So it makes a significant difference.

00:26:20.000 And the great thing is, this is a private organization.

00:26:24.000 So there's very little government funding that goes to it.

00:26:27.000 But I think that when we're thinking about criminal justice, we have to look at those two.

00:26:31.000 It's public safety, but it's also fiscal responsibility.

00:26:34.000 And we can do both.

00:26:36.000 I agree completely and I think the faith element is so vital to this process.

00:26:40.000 These are people we are restoring to our communities to make sure that we stay safe.

00:26:44.000 Well now we have a president that is bringing Jesus back to the center and I think when you have that at the center everything else falls into place.

00:26:56.000 A hundred percent.

00:26:57.000 And the question I think a lot of people ask is, can you win on this message?

00:27:01.000 We saw last fall, and I think one of the great successes of that cycle was the only Attorney General's race that flipped Republican.

00:27:08.000 The only place in general that flipped it all was Dave Sunday in Pennsylvania, who ensured that we pushed out progressive prosecutors and brought in a conservative leader.

00:27:17.000 Dave, can you talk about how this message...

00:27:20.000 Resonated with voters and got rid of that progressive prosecutor movement that has made so many people, so many of us here, you're in Washington, D.C., or close to it, unsafe.

00:27:29.000 I'll say that the best policies, I think, all come from your own personal life experience.

00:27:34.000 And, you know, I was a little bit of a knucklehead when I was a kid, and so I joined the Navy right out of high school.

00:27:39.000 I came home and I worked at UPS for eight years, all through college and all through law school.

00:27:45.000 And when I worked at UPS, I mean, I'll tell you, I worked with people that worked so unbelievably hard, that fought every day to put food on their table and take care of their families.

00:27:55.000 I then went on after law school and became a prosecutor, prosecuted, you know, everything from gang murders to domestic violence killings, drug traffickers.

00:28:05.000 And what I realized all those years of prosecuting and putting people in jail, that the reality was if our community is not safe, nothing else matters.

00:28:14.000 And the only way we could get to that place was by not only holding people accountable, but by embracing redemption for those that have already served their time.

00:28:24.000 When people come out of prison, what I want to see is them work.

00:28:27.000 I want to see people have career jobs.

00:28:30.000 I want to see people take care of their families and pay their taxes and pay restitution.

00:28:35.000 And more importantly, recognize that they have the power within themselves to change their lives.

00:28:41.000 They don't need government to do it.

00:28:43.000 They can do it themselves.

00:28:44.000 And when you apply that to the criminal justice system and work with the business community, the manufacturers associations, when you work with the faith-based community, with substance use counselors, mental health counselors, you get everybody together, then what happens is magic.

00:29:00.000 And crime rates go down.

00:29:02.000 And our crime rate went down almost around 45%.

00:29:06.000 Our homicide rate dropped by over 80%.

00:29:10.000 During that time period.

00:29:12.000 You know, and this is critical because success breeds success.

00:29:16.000 And then other people that weren't quite sure started coming to the table.

00:29:20.000 And we realized our prisons are full of people that have severe mental health illness.

00:29:25.000 Severe mental health illnesses.

00:29:27.000 And so we tried to find a way to help get them to get mental health treatment.

00:29:30.000 It took the pressure off police departments because the police need to be out there doing their job and getting the bad guys.

00:29:37.000 Not sitting.

00:29:38.000 You know, at a hospital staring at someone who's going through treatment.

00:29:42.000 So my point, very simply, is I wasn't sure how the community would respond to that.

00:29:47.000 That's my life story and how I've handled myself.

00:29:50.000 And they responded in a very resounding and positive way.

00:29:53.000 And that speaks volumes, I think.

00:29:56.000 Well, I think when you speak about mental health within the prison system, there was a hearing, and the former director, Colette Peters, which I say former, thank God, she was probably the worst thing to happen to the Bureau of Prisons, and I'm saying that as a woman.

00:30:11.000 When she was sworn in, she gave me hope.

00:30:13.000 I was like, finally, there's a woman in power.

00:30:15.000 And she let us all down.

00:30:17.000 She testified, and over half the deaths in the system were due to suicide.

00:30:21.000 Over half of the deaths in the system.

00:30:24.000 So it shows that there is a mental health crisis, and we have to take care of that first.

00:30:29.000 And I have, I like to tout myself as kind of the James O'Keefe of the prison system, because it has been my mission the past two years to absolutely deconstruct them.

00:30:39.000 And the things that I have uncovered are extremely damning.

00:30:44.000 I mean, the corruption that goes on within these facilities, these officials should be the ones in prison.

00:30:51.000 Until we hold them accountable, we're going to continue that same rat race over and over and over again.

00:30:58.000 We continue to allow I don't think there's a single cop in this room that's protecting us that wants to harass parishioners at their churches or that wants to go into communities and harass parents at school boards, and yet that's what we had for four years.

00:31:21.000 What does that do to a police force?

00:31:23.000 What does that do?

00:31:24.000 Mayor Jacobs, you have to oversee a lot of these law enforcement officers.

00:31:27.000 It decimates their mental health.

00:31:29.000 It's demoralizing.

00:31:30.000 Absolutely.

00:31:31.000 And back to the mental health aspect, we've done a great disservice to law enforcement with essentially making them The mental health experts and the caretakers of folks who have severe mental illness.

00:31:45.000 In Knox County, we estimate that about 35% of our daily census at our jail suffers from mental illness.

00:31:51.000 And the reason is there's no place else for these folks.

00:31:53.000 So you have law enforcement people who are trained to be cops, or in this case, corrections officers, and they're forced to be mental health professionals, which they're not.

00:32:03.000 I was really happy.

00:32:04.000 We just started a mental health court in Knox County.

00:32:07.000 There's only about 300 around the country.

00:32:09.000 It's a new concept.

00:32:10.000 But basically, folks that qualify, that have mental illness, stand in front of a judge, but instead of going to jail, the judge oversees their sentence, and they have to go to counseling, they have to be on their meds, and all those sort of things.

00:32:25.000 But yes, that frees up police resources because then they're no longer acting as mental health professionals.

00:32:31.000 They can do the job that they're trained to do, and it makes things safer for everybody.

00:32:35.000 And also, you're exactly right.

00:32:38.000 President Trump's First Step Act is overwhelmingly popular.

00:32:42.000 With Republican primary voters.

00:32:45.000 So that is, it is a winning issue.

00:32:48.000 With the First Step Act, my biggest issue, I am a huge advocate for the First Step Act, but what the last administration failed to do was implement the First Step Act.

00:32:57.000 And because they failed to implement it, you have the Bureau of Prisons that's asking for more money.

00:33:02.000 Well, instead of asking for more money, why don't you actually implement the First Step Act, the Second Chance Act, and it could reduce, they are wasting upwards of a billion dollars.

00:33:12.000 Because they're not concerned with public safety or fiscal responsibility.

00:33:16.000 They just want to make sure that bureaucrats get more money, more power. 1.00

00:33:20.000 That's why.

00:33:20.000 Exactly.

00:33:21.000 And I think, too, taking the Bureau...

00:33:23.000 I have heard, and let's hope this is right, but taking the Bureau of Prisons away from the DOJ and giving it to DHS is going to be the most brilliant move, in my opinion, because I do not believe the DOJ should be able to...

00:33:41.000 Charge you, sentence you, and house you too. 0.98

00:33:44.000 We spent four years with the Biden administration acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

00:33:49.000 And in that pace, I think what we don't talk enough about is what did that actually do to law enforcement.

00:33:54.000 In my hometown of Roswell, Georgia, we lost an officer two weeks ago.

00:33:57.000 The first one in 40 years.

00:34:00.000 We've talked a lot about the problem, and there are real consequences.

00:34:04.000 The good news is there is a solution.

00:34:06.000 And that solution was delivered by all of you in November.

00:34:09.000 And I'm excited, Dave, for you to talk a little about how we're going to keep communities safe now that you have a federal government that supports law enforcement, supports the rule of law, and thanks to Kash Patel, Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, and others, is going to actually start solving these problems.

00:34:22.000 You deserve to be safe.

00:34:24.000 Dave, I know you're part of that solution because the voters sent you up in Pennsylvania to solve this.

00:34:29.000 They did.

00:34:29.000 I mean, I ran on if our communities aren't safe, nothing else matters.

00:34:32.000 And it's something that I believe in my heart.

00:34:35.000 I mean, when you look at the challenges facing us right now, if you think about, I mean, millions of times a day, someone online is trying to get to our children every single day, all day long.

00:34:45.000 We have an aging population in America.

00:34:47.000 And every single day, millions of times a day, people are trying to steal our seniors.

00:34:54.000 You know, the money that they saved up throughout the course of their life.

00:34:56.000 And I don't care if it's one dollar or a billion dollars.

00:34:59.000 They earned it.

00:34:59.000 It's their money.

00:35:00.000 They can do with it what they want until the day they die.

00:35:03.000 And I find it.

00:35:04.000 And so when you add on the technology right now with AI, it's become so complex.

00:35:09.000 Drug trafficking has become complex.

00:35:12.000 And so what I look forward to doing is collaborating with all of our partners, from local law enforcement to state law enforcement to federal law enforcement.

00:35:21.000 And really bring everyone together with a common goal, which is to make our community safer.

00:35:26.000 That's to get fentanyl off of our streets.

00:35:29.000 I mean, that's to go after the organized crime, these gangs that are shooting up our cities, and hold them accountable and put them in prison.

00:35:39.000 The data shows that when you get the right people in prison, the right people, okay, Crime goes down astronomically.

00:35:48.000 And so you have to use precision policing, targeted prosecutions, and you have to do it in a manner that's fair and that's safe and that's constitutional.

00:35:57.000 And at the end of the day, that's how we'll make our community safer.

00:36:04.000 Mayor, you have now the keys to solving a lot of these problems within your own city.

00:36:10.000 You've actually seen the successes and talked about it.

00:36:13.000 What should people here know and take back to their communities?

00:36:16.000 What should this audience be telling their local officials when they go to town halls?

00:36:20.000 And yes, that's me asking you to take a challenge.

00:36:22.000 You should go to a town hall.

00:36:23.000 It's cold in Alexandria, Virginia.

00:36:25.000 I still go.

00:36:26.000 I hope you all do too.

00:36:27.000 Can you tell them what message they should be bringing to their elected officials?

00:36:30.000 It ain't rocket science, okay?

00:36:32.000 This is not.

00:36:33.000 You get the violent criminals off the streets.

00:36:35.000 Make sure that the people that are going to re-enter society have a pathway to do so successfully.

00:36:42.000 And that's pretty much it.

00:36:44.000 That's all so many of these issues.

00:36:46.000 And the justice system should never be used for political purposes.

00:36:51.000 Justice is supposed to be blind.

00:36:52.000 And for the past four years, it's had a target on certain individuals because of politics.

00:36:59.000 In fact, of all the things that...

00:37:03.000 All the horrible things that happened under the Biden administration, and there's a lot of them, right?

00:37:08.000 I think that was the worst thing, because a politicized, weaponized justice system, that is literally the definition of a banana republic, and we were this close to slipping into that.

00:37:20.000 Yep.

00:37:22.000 Savannah, I'll ask a similar question.

00:37:24.000 What can people know about your story?

00:37:25.000 How can they make a difference and impact, and how can we get your family out of this nightmare and back to the rule of law in our society?

00:37:31.000 Yeah, for me, I believed bad people go to prison.

00:37:35.000 That's just what I think as a kid is ingrained in you.

00:37:39.000 And that is so far from the truth.

00:37:42.000 These men and women are going to enter back into society.

00:37:45.000 And I believe that God...

00:37:47.000 Put us on this earth to love people and love people well.

00:37:50.000 And let's not forget about those men and women that are incarcerated who maybe need an additional hand, who need a little help, who need people to believe in them, because right now we have a very hopeless system and there's nothing more dangerous than a hopeless person.

00:38:06.000 And right now, with all the issues that we're working on and restoring hope within these individuals, I think Alice Marie Johnson is a prime example of what happens when someone...

00:38:16.000 Everyone believes in them.

00:38:17.000 Alice was pardoned by President Trump the first go-round.

00:38:21.000 And now he has brought her on as the pardons are.

00:38:24.000 And he went out on a limb.

00:38:27.000 He believed in her and he gave her a chance.

00:38:29.000 So just don't ever think you're too good to give out a helping hand.

00:38:33.000 Makes a lot of sense.

00:38:35.000 I think communities of all backgrounds came together to support President Trump.

00:38:38.000 And the reason is, there's one thing that binds this room together.

00:38:41.000 It's we care about public safety.

00:38:43.000 And we care about the rule of law.

00:38:45.000 And unfortunately, at whatever conference is happening back in the Biden administration, apparently that wasn't in the topic areas.

00:38:51.000 So Dave, I'm going to leave it to you to answer, what do we do next?

00:38:54.000 What do we expect to see next?

00:38:56.000 And how do we restore?

00:38:57.000 How do we do the hard work?

00:38:58.000 You've touched on what you've already done in Pennsylvania.

00:39:00.000 How do we do the hard work going forward of fixing this problem?

00:39:03.000 Because unfortunately, as you've heard over the last three days, the Biden administration apparently left us with a lot of problems.

00:39:08.000 I don't think any of us are surprised by that.

00:39:10.000 Shocker.

00:39:11.000 So I'll try to be as quick as I can.

00:39:13.000 I'm looking at the time.

00:39:14.000 So to start with, we have to have the courage to fight tough battles.

00:39:19.000 And what I mean by that is, a lot of the things we're talking about up here, severe behavioral health problems, the opioid epidemic, issues with regard to trauma on children, these aren't things that we can solve in a day.

00:39:33.000 These are things that will take time and courage.

00:39:37.000 To be able to work through them, they're greater than the political cycle.

00:39:40.000 And when we come together as a community and we work on this, and these are all conservative values, and we come together and we do this, our community will begin to get better.

00:39:50.000 You have to have the courage to do it.

00:39:52.000 The second thing is we have to support police.

00:39:54.000 You said something earlier that was so fantastic.

00:39:57.000 We expect our police to be domestic violence counselors, mental health counselors, substance abuse counselors.

00:40:05.000 We expect police to have the answer to every single problem within a split second, oftentimes 10 to 15 times a day.

00:40:12.000 And we have to get them the support so that they can do their core function of patrolling, keeping communities safe, and investigating very serious crimes, and putting the bad guys in jail.

00:40:24.000 So support your police.

00:40:26.000 And I said, don't always have the courage to take the tough battles, like winning Pennsylvania.

00:40:32.000 Like winning Pennsylvania.

00:40:33.000 That was an important one.

00:40:34.000 I think it's easy to conclude on this.

00:40:37.000 Today, we are being protected by strong, brave men and women of the Secret Service, of law enforcement.

00:40:43.000 We owe it not just to ourselves, but to them to make America safe again.

00:40:48.000 We know President Trump will do that.

00:40:49.000 We know that our friends up here on the stage will do that.

00:40:52.000 And CPAC remains committed to ensuring accountability and redemption are the tenets of law in this country.

00:40:59.000 Thank you for joining us, and let's make America safe again this year.

00:41:01.000 Thank you.

00:41:31.000 America is under attack.

00:41:35.000 Our families are being crushed under the politics of a radical agenda.

00:41:40.000 But moms have had enough. 1.00

00:41:42.000 We are standing up and we are fighting back.

00:41:46.000 This is our battle.

00:41:47.000 This battle is every bit as important as the Revolutionary War because we fight for the same thing.

00:41:53.000 Moms for America is a national movement of moms reclaiming our culture for truth, family.

00:42:01.000 Freedom and the Constitution.

00:42:03.000 I think Moms for America is exactly on track and is doing the right thing for the future of our country and our children.

00:42:10.000 Like, Moms for America is going at the heart of the issue. 1.00

00:42:14.000 I want to go on the record and say, I'm for moms, I'm for America, and I'm especially for Moms for America.

00:42:21.000 But I am honored to join Moms for America today as we speak out against the horrific mandates.

00:42:27.000 With a national network of over a half a million mothers, Moms for America is one of the fastest growing movements of women in the country.

00:42:36.000 The most dangerous place in all of nature is between a mama bear and her baby cub.

00:42:43.000 We are the change.

00:42:45.000 No matter what, no matter where, and no matter how difficult the obstacles are that are facing us and our families, we will not give up and we will not give in.

00:42:57.000 So if not now, then when?

00:42:58.000 If not you, then who?

00:42:59.000 Welcome to the Moonlight Revolution!

00:43:02.000 You came to Washington for one of two reasons.

00:43:26.000 Some of you came here for position, for power and fame.

00:43:31.000 You came for you.

00:43:33.000 But a few came to change this town.

00:43:36.000 We came to be sandpaper to a culture that despises truth.

00:43:41.000 Are you one of the few willing to stand in the gap for our nation?

00:43:45.000 If so, come join us as we make America's national model our personal declaration.

00:43:55.000 It's time to take control.

00:43:58.000 With Bursts, you create impactful content in seconds.

00:44:03.000 Powered by blockchain, your content and earnings are protected, transparent, and yours to control.

00:44:11.000 Play TV isn't just a platform.

00:44:13.000 It's a community of creators building a new future together.

00:44:17.000 Your freedom starts when you press play.

00:44:22.000 The conservative movement has come a long way.

00:44:26.000 Back in the 1990s, there were so few college women who were interested in conservative ideas that we all fit in a very small boardroom table. 1.00

00:44:37.000 Look at all of you in this room now.

00:44:40.000 There's something special about conservative women. 1.00

00:44:42.000 You all have a unique opportunity, I think in this generation in particular, to step into that full vision of womanhood.

00:44:53.000 All right, America is back on track 2025. But next year, CPAC 2026 is going to be even bigger.

00:45:01.000 Go get your tickets now.

00:45:03.000 go to CPAC.org and join the movement.

00:45:06.000 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Dan Scavino.

00:45:16.000 Good morning, everybody. everybody.

00:45:41.000 How's everybody doing?

00:45:44.000 Let's go!

00:45:49.000 It's a great honor to be here.

00:45:51.000 Mercedes and Matt, thank you very much.

00:45:54.000 Congratulations on everything that you've accomplished with CPAC over the years.

00:45:58.000 And again, it's a great honor.

00:45:59.000 I'm truly humbled to be here.

00:46:02.000 Thank you.

00:46:04.000 I have two words for all of you.

00:46:06.000 I said this before.

00:46:06.000 I don't speak a lot publicly.

00:46:08.000 I like being the behind-the-scenes guy doing my job.

00:46:12.000 I'm not a public speaker.

00:46:13.000 I don't often come out and speak.

00:46:15.000 But when I do, I speak from the heart.

00:46:17.000 I have a lot of passion.

00:46:18.000 I had the option for teleprompters.

00:46:20.000 I said, no, thank you.

00:46:21.000 I just wanted to come and say a few words and say two words.

00:46:25.000 We're back!

00:46:30.000 USA! USA! USA! Let's go.

00:46:41.000 Again, thank you for the support of the 45th and the 47th President of the United States of America.

00:46:49.000 He will be here in a couple of hours.

00:46:52.000 He's excited to be here.

00:46:53.000 He's got a great history of coming here.

00:46:56.000 Some of his all-time greatest speeches that have gone on for hours have been right here.

00:47:02.000 He'll go out before the speech is expected to be 40 to 45 minutes.

00:47:07.000 Comes out on stage, comes back two hours later.

00:47:11.000 Doesn't go off.

00:47:12.000 He goes off the teleprompter.

00:47:14.000 It's let Trump be Trump.

00:47:15.000 Speak clear and transparent to you, the American people.

00:47:19.000 What you see is what you get.

00:47:23.000 He's a great man.

00:47:24.000 He's a great president.

00:47:26.000 And there's so many stories I could tell.

00:47:28.000 It's been a long journey.

00:47:30.000 And speaking of journeys.

00:47:32.000 President Trump oftentimes behind the scenes will say, you are so lucky I took you on this journey.

00:47:40.000 And Team Trump that is out there will know exactly what I'm saying, whether it's subpoenas, grand jury testimonies, indictments, out on the campaign trail, big victories.

00:47:53.000 Out on the golf course, state dinners, championship games, World Series, Super Bowl, on the plane, in the Oval Office, good times and bad times, no matter what the news cycle is out there, he would sit and say, you are so lucky I took you on this journey.

00:48:10.000 It's been the journey of a lifetime for me.

00:48:12.000 I've been with President Trump for 32 years.

00:48:21.000 I started caddying for him back when I was 15 years old.

00:48:25.000 I caddied.

00:48:26.000 I worked in the bag room.

00:48:27.000 And this real estate mogul came up to Westchester County, New York, to buy a golf course.

00:48:33.000 Pulls up in the limousine.

00:48:35.000 I couldn't believe it.

00:48:36.000 I went to high school.

00:48:36.000 I was probably a sophomore.

00:48:39.000 That Monday in school, you won't believe who I saw, who I met.

00:48:42.000 The New York State real estate mogul and tycoon who redefined the New York City skyline.

00:48:49.000 Donald J. Trump.

00:48:50.000 And here we are 32 years later, and Mr. President, if you're watching, this has been one hell of a journey, the greatest journey of my lifetime.

00:48:59.000 Thank you for having me.

00:49:03.000 And by the way, thank you for joining us and supporting us, everybody out there, all great American patriots.

00:49:10.000 We appreciate each and every one of you.

00:49:14.000 We campaigned in a courthouse this past summer.

00:49:19.000 We were all over the place.

00:49:21.000 Literally, the campaign run out of the courthouse.

00:49:24.000 Not only the courthouse, but we would be running around the country, barnstorming every country, every state, rather, seeing all of you out there campaigning.

00:49:34.000 So much fake news out there, all of the leaks, all the defamation, all the BS that went on out there.

00:49:41.000 He went out there, the indictments, everything, the lawfare.

00:49:45.000 He went out there, and as he raised his hand in Butler, Pennsylvania, During that assassination attempt and raised that fist and said, fight, fight, fight.

00:49:56.000 That's exactly what he does behind the scenes every day.

00:49:59.000 He could be out at Mar-a-Lago every day golfing in Palm Beach, Florida, California, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia.

00:50:06.000 but he'd rather choose to be out there and fight for putting America first and making America great again. 0.99

00:50:12.000 His behind-the-scenes moments in the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in the hospital, just to show you his mindset, the guy just got shot in the damn head. 0.99

00:50:28.000 Somebody attempted to assassinate him. 0.98

00:50:30.000 He's in the hospital, and I show him that iconic picture of him raising his fist.

00:50:35.000 He goes, hey, Dan, how's it playing?

00:50:39.000 Sir, the entire world is wondering what's going on right now.

00:50:45.000 How's everybody doing?

00:50:46.000 How's the team doing?

00:50:48.000 And myself and Susie Wiles and Stephen Chung and Walt Nauta were back with him.

00:50:52.000 He cared about everybody else.

00:50:54.000 He cared about his family.

00:50:56.000 We're connecting him with Melania, Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric.

00:50:59.000 He's speaking to them.

00:51:02.000 How's it playing?

00:51:03.000 I showed him that iconic photo.

00:51:04.000 Doug Mills took it from the New York Times.

00:51:06.000 Great photographer.

00:51:08.000 He stared at the picture.

00:51:10.000 Just stared at it.

00:51:12.000 And he said, how is Doug Mills doing?

00:51:17.000 Is Doug okay?

00:51:18.000 Call Doug and see if he's doing okay.

00:51:21.000 That's his thought process with everything going on.

00:51:25.000 He's just a fighter.

00:51:27.000 Truly, I call him like America's greatest host because he's a great man and everybody in the administration, the cabinet, and the people that spend those moments with him behind the scenes will understand and they get what I'm saying.

00:51:42.000 He just loves America.

00:51:43.000 He loves people.

00:51:45.000 He's just a happy-go-lucky guy, and the guy works his ass off from 5 in the morning till midnight.

00:51:50.000 The guy barely sleeps, and trust me, I know from the phone calls and the messaging and things that we would put out on social media and platforms.

00:51:58.000 But to be in the hospital with everything shot in the head, and he's worried about everybody else.

00:52:05.000 A few hours later, we went wheels up.

00:52:07.000 I believe we went back to New Jersey that evening.

00:52:10.000 He was on the plane joking.

00:52:14.000 With all of us on the plane to make us feel, I mean, we were all to this moment, to this day, and none of us will ever forget it.

00:52:21.000 He cared about all of us on the plane trying to make us all feel better and lift us up.

00:52:26.000 And ladies and gentlemen, that is your 47th President of the United States of America.

00:52:30.000 I have hundreds of stories I could share with you.

00:52:39.000 I'm sorry.

00:52:41.000 Let's talk about in Pennsylvania.

00:52:44.000 When he got excited to go work at McDonald's.

00:52:48.000 Because that's where Kamala claimed to have worked. 1.00

00:52:53.000 For two weeks, we heard about going to work at McDonald's.

00:52:57.000 He was excited to go do it.

00:53:00.000 And sure enough, you all saw in those viral videos and on the news, he was at McDonald's having a good time with that French friar and the people driving through.

00:53:10.000 I'll never forget that moment when we pulled in with thousands of people lining the streets.

00:53:14.000 That was the night he also went to the Pittsburgh Steelers game.

00:53:19.000 But the guy couldn't wait to get to McDonald's, and he knew that it was a big moment for us.

00:53:25.000 And it was pretty damn awesome, was it not?

00:53:28.000 McDonald's.

00:53:32.000 Joe Biden. 1.00

00:53:34.000 You guys are all garbage. 1.00

00:53:36.000 Trump supporters are garbage. 1.00

00:53:41.000 Oh, really, Joe? 1.00

00:53:44.000 Garbage. 1.00

00:53:45.000 We're going to Wisconsin. 0.97

00:53:47.000 And the team, Justin Capparelli, give him a lot of credit with regards to being on the plane.

00:53:51.000 We're heading out to Wisconsin, and he comes up and he says, Mr. President, we can have a garbage truck upon arrival on the tarmac.

00:54:01.000 I mean, what a campaign.

00:54:04.000 What a campaign!

00:54:07.000 Oh, sir, and by the way, before we went wheels up, I have an orange vest for you to wear.

00:54:12.000 If you want to wear it, you can wear it off the plane.

00:54:16.000 Give me that vest.

00:54:17.000 Let's put that vest on.

00:54:18.000 He puts the vest on on the plane.

00:54:21.000 We're still flying.

00:54:22.000 He's being brief.

00:54:23.000 We're going to land.

00:54:23.000 There's going to be a garbage truck upon our arrival.

00:54:26.000 It's going to say Trump 2024 on it.

00:54:28.000 And sure enough, an hour and a half, two hours later, we land the plane.

00:54:31.000 We look out the window, and there's the garbage truck being escorted to the motorcade.

00:54:36.000 And there's the president sitting with his orange vest on, just looking out the window like this.

00:54:42.000 I mean, just total classic and priceless.

00:54:46.000 He gets off the plane, he wears the vest into the garbage truck, right?

00:54:50.000 Great moment.

00:54:51.000 But then he wore it in the motorcade to the rally.

00:54:53.000 Then we get to the rally, he meets Brett Favre, who endorsed him.

00:54:57.000 Backstage, taking photos and clicks.

00:54:59.000 Laughs, good times, he's getting ready.

00:55:01.000 We're feeling good, because this election's coming up.

00:55:04.000 Wears the garbage vest out onto the stage.

00:55:07.000 I don't know if you heard the stories of why he wore it, but he thought he looked rather trim in it.

00:55:12.000 And so he's sitting, looking in the mirror.

00:55:15.000 I look rather thin in this.

00:55:16.000 I look very trim.

00:55:18.000 I look good.

00:55:19.000 He wears the orange vest out.

00:55:22.000 Hour and a half rally.

00:55:23.000 Comes off stage.

00:55:25.000 Walks back out.

00:55:26.000 Time to get in the motorcade to go back to the plane, right?

00:55:28.000 You take the vest off, right?

00:55:31.000 He wears the orange vest into the motorcade.

00:55:33.000 He said, I'm not taking this off till we get on the plane.

00:55:36.000 He kept the vest on the entire time. 0.97

00:55:38.000 That was a big moment for us when we were all garbage. 0.99

00:55:41.000 It was like that deplorable moment. 0.98

00:55:43.000 We're all sitting backstage saying, here's the moment.

00:55:46.000 I could go on all day, but I don't have that much time left.

00:55:51.000 We're very grateful for you.

00:55:53.000 There's so many times that the president is just so grateful for the support he sees out there on social media.

00:56:00.000 I mean, we won the election in an electoral landslide, swept all seven swing states.

00:56:07.000 And we not only have the 45th president and the 47th president of the United States, we've got a great president who's going to put all of you first.

00:56:17.000 He's going to fight, fight, fight, and he's going to continue.

00:56:21.000 And his legacy will go down as one of the greatest presidents of all time.

00:56:26.000 And together, everybody in this room, with your support, we're going to make America great again.

00:56:36.000 God bless each and every one of you and thank you for having me.

00:56:39.000 Thank you.

00:56:43.000 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome from Wyoming, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman.

00:57:08.000 I bring you greetings.

00:57:34.000 Greetings from the great state of Wyoming.

00:57:38.000 Home of an abundance of affordable and reliable energy, wildlife galore, wide open spaces, gorgeous rivers and streams, magnificent mountains, beautiful blue skies, and not one Liz Cheney anywhere to be found.

00:58:01.000 In 2024, Wyoming provided President Trump with his largest margin of victory of any state in the nation, and we are so proud of the job that he is doing.

00:58:13.000 We are ecstatic that he is exposing and eradicating the massive government waste, fraud, and abuse that we have known for decades has been happening, and yet no one before would do anything about it.

00:58:26.000 We are overjoyed that he has tasked Elon Musk and his team with overseeing Doge.

00:58:31.000 Using their skills to implement what may be the closest thing to zero-based budgeting that we will ever see in the federal government.

00:58:41.000 We are thrilled that he recognizes that we are a government of, by, and for the people, and that its primary purpose is to protect the homeland and secure our God-given rights and freedoms.

00:58:56.000 It is quite apparent that the Democrats long ago stopped caring about the concerns of working-class people.

00:59:03.000 The truck drivers, farmers, airline employees, miners, custodians, and construction workers, among others.

00:59:10.000 And they paid for such neglect by being shellacked in the last election.

00:59:16.000 But far be it for them to undertake a legitimate self-assessment of their policies and ideas, they are instead engaging in kabuki theater while standing in front of government agencies, screaming their opposition to everything good and just generally making fools of themselves.

00:59:33.000 The agencies that they have chosen for their performance art are telling, are they not?

00:59:39.000 The Department of Education, a $270 billion woke monstrosity, That has presided over the steady and unrelenting decline of public education.

00:59:50.000 And USAID, a $50 billion anti-American purveyor of ideology so toxic that even the bureaucrats who worked there knew they had to hide their programs so that they could continue to fund such things as transgender comic books in Peru, so-called sex change operations in Guatemala, and anti-Israeli rappers.

01:00:13.000 By now, everyone has heard about the crazy things USAID and other bloated and unnecessary bureaucracies have spent our money on, and we are rightly infuriated.

01:00:24.000 But there is more to this story than bureaucrats and leftists attempting to out-crazy each other, and it is critical that we understand the full picture, in part to ensure accountability, but to also understand how these actions, this overwhelming misdirection of assets, this radical anti-humanist agenda, has weakened us here at home and allowed our so-called political leaders to ignore their primary responsibility to our citizens.

01:00:51.000 In short, this obsession with pushing the woke agenda has real-world consequences and has caused real-life suffering.

01:00:58.000 The way that I often describe it is that a government that does things that it should not be doing becomes incapable of doing those things that it should.

01:01:06.000 What we can describe as the social and economic reality of opportunity costs.

01:01:12.000 And it is this phenomenon that I, as the chairwoman of the House Anti-Woke Caucus, want to make sure people understand. 0.97

01:01:22.000 We are not just dealing with stupid comic books and radical anti-American leftist policies. 0.95

01:01:28.000 We are also dealing with an obsession that has become so all-consuming to those on the other side that the toll in human suffering and property destruction cannot be ignored. 0.98

01:01:39.000 As a devastating example, let's look at the recent California wildfires.

01:01:44.000 The cause and magnitude of those fires cannot be written off as an act of nature because that is not what happened.

01:01:51.000 Rather, a substantial number of fires in California are started by arsonists and homeless encampments, and that appears to be the case in terms of this recent conflagration.

01:02:01.000 Even setting aside the cause of the fires, however, this catastrophe was years in the making, with resource management, over-regulation, and failed water policies all finding their roots in a fixation on climate change and global warming.

01:02:17.000 Ah, yes.

01:02:18.000 With Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass deciding that the threat of a two-degree change in temperatures 100 years from now warrants whatever suffering we may come about today.

01:02:30.000 Let's start with the radical environmentalist decisions for the last several decades to fight every effort to undertake proper, effective, and safe forest and range management practices and to implement better fire protection policies.

01:02:44.000 In fact, one such organization fought to block a wildfire prevention project near the Pacific Palisades to protect a shrub called the Broughton's milk vetch.

01:02:54.000 We can thank this group for their efforts to protect this shrub.

01:02:58.000 Although such protections were clearly only transitory since they also burned in the November fires.

01:03:05.000 But this is not an isolated situation, and we have watched it play out year after year in Western states, as the so-called experts and environmentalists would rather our forests, our prairies, and our homes burn to the ground than allow us to implement common sense and much-needed treatment techniques to prevent these catastrophes from happening in the first place.

01:03:26.000 Did you know that in 2020, Gavin Newsom vetoed a fire mitigation bill that had been passed by both houses of the Democrat-controlled California legislature?

01:03:37.000 That bill provided funding for vegetation management to maintain defensible space around structures, reduce flammable material, reduce fire risk, and harden evacuation routes.

01:03:48.000 In his veto message, Governor Newsom exposed his moral corruption by stating that any efforts to fireproof California could not take precedence over his plan to replace single-family homes with affordable housing and multifamily units.

01:04:04.000 I could spend hours regaling you with the many ways in which radical environmentalism and the fear-mongering surrounding our ever-changing and healthy climate has destroyed our natural and human environment, but I think you get the gist.

01:04:18.000 In short, in the name of climate change, in the name of our environment, in an effort to burnish their elitist bona fides, these people have largely destroyed the very things that they claim to hold dear, with their policies and actions being responsible for spewing more carbon and pollutants into the atmosphere than our collective humanity could in hundreds of years.

01:04:41.000 And that is why we must expose them for the frauds that they are.

01:04:46.000 Charlatans who prove time and time again that they know nothing about the environment, climate, resource management, how to build strong, vibrant, and resilient communities, or human nature.

01:04:57.000 But like so many dictators before them, believe that they are the experts who are entitled to micromanage our lives, mandate and restrict our mode of travel, control our food supply, and shove us into 15-minute cities and multifamily homes.

01:05:14.000 Now, it is often easy to make fun of people like Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, Kamala Harris, Al Gore, John Kerry, and others.

01:05:21.000 But these people have caused and will continue to cause real human suffering unless we stop them.

01:05:27.000 And one tool that we have is to expose the true cost of their woke ideology.

01:05:33.000 But it isn't just failed environmental policies that are to blame.

01:05:37.000 We must also call out the entire DEI industry as being one of the many culprits resulting in the death and destruction that we have suffered.

01:05:49.000 First, as I mentioned earlier, California's wildfire problem is largely man-made.

01:05:54.000 With the homeless population and arsonists being responsible for well over 50% of all of the fires.

01:06:00.000 All in the name of being equitable and inclusive, you see, personal and community responsibility are relics of the past when it comes to modern-day California.

01:06:09.000 And nothing epitomizes that more than in allowing the homeless to literally run your cities into the ground, and when they so choose, to burn them down.

01:06:19.000 Second, DEI is not only insidious because of what it means in practice, but in the fact that it allows politicians and bureaucrats to divert our precious resources from where they should be focused to pet projects that have nothing to do with carrying out the functions of government.

01:06:35.000 The stories from California are legion of millions of dollars being spent on DEI workshops and training of hiring based on race, sex, sexual orientation, and intersectionality, rather than on whether the individual could physically do the job.

01:06:51.000 And the outcome?

01:06:52.000 Empty reservoirs, broken down fire trucks, air-sucking fire hydrants, no evacuation routes, and not enough firefighters.

01:07:02.000 DEI is a disastrous concept in theory and wholly destructive in practice.

01:07:07.000 It undermines faith in our institutions and allows unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats to redirect hundreds of billions of dollars into programs that we don't want, don't need, and that ultimately destroy everything that we hold dear.

01:07:21.000 Fortunately, we now have a political leader in President Trump who understands how destructive these environmental policies have been to our communities and how insidious DEI policies are to our physical, mental, and financial well-being.

01:07:39.000 Thank God, in other words, that we have finally awakened from this woke nightmare and it is a new day in America.

01:07:49.000 God bless CPAC, God bless President Trump.

01:07:56.000 God bless our warriors who are fighting on behalf of all of us.

01:08:00.000 And God bless America.

01:08:02.000 Thank you very much.

01:10:29.000 The Conservative Caucus has been winning battles in Congress for all 50 years of its existence.

01:10:35.000 In fact, we're the oldest conservative grassroots organization in America.

01:10:38.000 We helped reelect President Trump and win the Senate.

01:10:42.000 And with your help, we will continue to advance President Trump's MAGA agenda.

01:10:47.000 Join the team to help Trump make America great again.

01:11:25.000 Every institution today is under attack.

01:11:28.000 The home, the church, the government.

01:11:33.000 And many people are asking, what is the truth?

01:11:36.000 Jesus Christ claimed to be ultimate truth.

01:11:39.000 Are you willing to face the truth?

01:11:41.000 Do you think the MKUltra project ever actually ended?

01:11:44.000 The Central Intelligence Agency is actively involved in mind manipulation.

01:11:48.000 We all answer to one God and one Savior.

01:11:53.000 And he's there to change your life for the better.

01:11:58.000 Ladies and gentlemen, up next, an interview with Governor of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, hosted by CPAC Senior Fellow, Mercedes Schlapp.

01:12:15.000 Hi.

01:12:17.000 Hi.

01:12:19.000 Hi, girl.

01:12:22.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

01:12:27.000 Come on.

01:12:27.000 Your favorite governor.

01:12:29.000 Let's go.

01:12:30.000 Okay.

01:12:31.000 Okay.

01:12:32.000 We're waking up here.

01:12:33.000 All right.

01:12:36.000 I think Governor Sanders, Sarah.

01:12:40.000 Sarah.

01:12:41.000 Sarita, my sweet Sarah!

01:12:43.000 Oh my gosh, I'm so excited to have Sarah with us.

01:12:45.000 We are in countdown mode right now, because guess who's coming, who's going to close out CPAC? I mean, just a slightly well-known individual, maybe the most popular human on the face of the planet right now.

01:12:58.000 America's favorite president.

01:13:00.000 That's right, President Trump!

01:13:01.000 Trump, are you all excited?

01:13:07.000 So this is such a blessing for me.

01:13:09.000 Sarah and I worked together at the White House for several years.

01:13:12.000 And I mean, Sarah, seriously, what you have accomplished is amazing.

01:13:18.000 And we're so proud of you.

01:13:20.000 Thank you.

01:13:20.000 Just to start right there.

01:13:23.000 We were trying to raise our kids during that time.

01:13:26.000 Trying being the key word there.

01:13:28.000 We were trying to raise our kids.

01:13:29.000 And somehow...

01:13:31.000 They turned out amazing.

01:13:32.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:13:33.000 Which says a lot, really, truly.

01:13:35.000 They were all in the backstage.

01:13:37.000 Sarah brought her daughter, Scarlett, with my girls, and they were doing the whole posing of taking pictures together.

01:13:42.000 We were like, this is the next generation of leadership, seriously.

01:13:46.000 But let's get to it.

01:13:48.000 Okay, so you were at the National Governors Association dinner, and President Trump had this interesting exchange with the governor from Maine.

01:13:58.000 We're all in the family here.

01:14:01.000 Tell us what happened.

01:14:03.000 Well, I think it was classic Donald Trump.

01:14:08.000 If he doesn't like something, he's going to call it out.

01:14:11.000 I think it's one of the things that has made him so incredibly popular.

01:14:16.000 And one of the reasons he's been able to get so much done is because he doesn't care.

01:14:22.000 Who's in the room?

01:14:24.000 What it looks like?

01:14:25.000 He's going to tell you exactly what he thinks in that moment.

01:14:29.000 And that's what he did.

01:14:30.000 And frankly, he's on the right side.

01:14:33.000 I'm so tired of hearing the left say that they care about women when they can't even tell you what a woman is.

01:14:40.000 And we finally have a president who will stand up for women and fight back.

01:14:46.000 And I think that it's a great thing to see.

01:14:51.000 Donald Trump being the one to sign executive orders that defend and define what a man and what a woman are, which it's sad that we have to do that, but also as a mom of a daughter that is a 12-year-old volleyball player, that we have somebody that's saying, no, we're not going to let men play girls' sports.

01:15:13.000 And Donald Trump is doing that, and I think he's right to call people out who are on the wrong side.

01:15:19.000 So, we have a rating system that we rate at CPAC, all the state legislatures, all the governors, all the federal legislators as well.

01:15:29.000 Governor Sanders has ranked the top conservative governor in America.

01:15:36.000 The top.

01:15:37.000 Number one.

01:15:42.000 Not only is because we're related, but no.

01:15:45.000 But Sarah, tell us about, you're in the middle of the legislative session.

01:15:49.000 You have so much going on.

01:15:50.000 You've been in office now.

01:15:52.000 And what are you planning to accomplish this legislative session?

01:15:56.000 What do you think the people of Arkansas really want and what they're focused on?

01:16:02.000 We're working on that.

01:16:04.000 And President Trump is very quick to remind us on that every time I see him.

01:16:08.000 But what we've really focused on is bringing conservative principals back.

01:16:14.000 And everything from opening up Universal School Choice.

01:16:18.000 We were one of the first states in the country to do that.

01:16:21.000 Starting next semester, every single student in Arkansas will be able to choose.

01:16:28.000 Where they go to school and their parents will be empowered to make that decision.

01:16:32.000 And I'm really proud we were one of the leaders of that.

01:16:36.000 We've cut taxes three times in the state of Arkansas in just two years, now making us competitive with every other state in the region.

01:16:46.000 We are getting indoctrination, not just out of our K through 12, but also out of higher education.

01:16:53.000 And we don't care if you're tenured or not.

01:16:57.000 That is one of the big pieces of legislation that we have going through this cycle.

01:17:01.000 We're also removing cell phones from the classroom, and I signed legislation this week.

01:17:08.000 Bell to bell, no cell.

01:17:10.000 And really proud of what we're doing for young people, for parents, for families.

01:17:17.000 And we're going to continue fighting and making Arkansas the most conservative state in the country.

01:17:22.000 And people are moving in.

01:17:24.000 It is becoming a popular destination.

01:17:28.000 I mean, walk us through why your state...

01:17:30.000 You know, we always talk about these federal elections, and obviously having President Trump in office is such a critical win.

01:17:38.000 But these states are just as critical as well, because we meet people from California who talk about how horrific it is to live under Democrat oppression.

01:17:47.000 Let's just call it what it is.

01:17:50.000 And here we have a perfect example of what you're doing in Arkansas to be that blueprint for other states.

01:17:56.000 What's your advice to other governors, especially Republican governors, that are trying to do the same?

01:18:03.000 And we talk about conservative principles, but these are American principles of being pro-family, pro-economic prosperity, pro-safety.

01:18:12.000 Well, one of the big differences now is we actually have a partner in the White House instead of somebody we have to fight every single day.

01:18:20.000 I got to see Lee Zeldin yesterday.

01:18:22.000 He's the new head of the EPA. I said, I'm just glad we have somebody there that we don't have to sue every single week.

01:18:29.000 And we can actually work with to get things done.

01:18:32.000 You know, over the last several years, Republican governors are the ones who have held the line.

01:18:37.000 While Washington was a completely broken, dysfunctional mess, Republican governors are the ones who stepped up and worked on securing the border.

01:18:46.000 We sent Arkansas Guard to the border two separate occasions over the last couple of years because Joe Biden wouldn't get the job done.

01:18:54.000 Now we have a partner in Donald Trump who's not going to just be a partner, but he's going to be a leader.

01:18:59.000 He's going to be the number one fighter pushing back on some of the crazy wokeness that we have seen the left try to impose on our families, on our schools, on our businesses.

01:19:10.000 And Republican governors are going to be right there with them.

01:19:12.000 We're going to make sure that our schools do not become indoctrination factories for the left.

01:19:18.000 We're going to make sure that you can run your business the way that you want to, and that you can raise your kids the way that you want to, as it was intended in this country.

01:19:27.000 And I'm proud of the work we've been able to do.

01:19:30.000 Arkansas is now the number one state in the country that people are moving to.

01:19:35.000 It's not Texas.

01:19:36.000 It's not Florida.

01:19:37.000 It's not Virginia.

01:19:38.000 It's Arkansas.

01:19:39.000 So if you don't live there yet, we're ready for you to move and call that your home.

01:19:45.000 We're the number one state for economic growth.

01:19:48.000 We're the lowest cost of living.

01:19:50.000 We are booming on all fronts, and it's because we're implementing good conservative policy that lets you live your life without constant government intrusion.

01:20:01.000 And that's something we're proud of and something we're going to continue to do in our home state.

01:20:06.000 Gosh, wouldn't she make a great vice presidential pick in 2028? 1.00

01:20:13.000 I think so.

01:20:14.000 I do.

01:20:15.000 I do.

01:20:16.000 Sorry, Sarah, you don't have to respond to that.

01:20:18.000 Okay.

01:20:19.000 I'm not.

01:20:20.000 Very happy to be in Arkansas.

01:20:23.000 Okay, maternal health, you're providing funding.

01:20:26.000 I really want you to talk about this problem, this crisis you discovered in your state.

01:20:32.000 How you're solving it, because it's not only impacting states like Arkansas, but other states as well in the South.

01:20:39.000 Walk us through what you're doing there.

01:20:40.000 You know, one of the things that I think is so important for the pro-life community is that we don't just focus on the baby when they're in the womb, but it's what does that look like after, and making sure that we are actually fighting for kids.

01:20:55.000 Every single day, and that's something that's really important in our state.

01:20:59.000 We had about 10% of moms in Arkansas that were never seeing a doctor until they were in labor. 0.84

01:21:07.000 That's unacceptable, especially when they have that access to care.

01:21:10.000 They just weren't taking advantage of it.

01:21:12.000 We know that healthy moms make healthy babies, so we've invested heavily in making sure that those women get the care that they not only need and deserve, but they know that their life And their child's life has value. 0.77

01:21:26.000 And it's something that we want to protect at every single stage.

01:21:29.000 and so we're investing heavily in the maternal health problem in Arkansas and something that we're going to expect to see a dramatic impact and dramatic results just in a short amount of time.

01:21:40.000 So we've seen President Trump right now where he's been in office for 32 days.

01:21:49.000 It feels like it's been like 10 years that he's been in office.

01:21:51.000 It's so remarkable to watch the amount of work he's been able to accomplish.

01:21:56.000 Now, as us, the Trump 45ers, is that what we are?

01:21:59.000 Yeah.

01:22:00.000 Okay.

01:22:01.000 Makes us sound older than we are.

01:22:02.000 Makes us sound so old.

01:22:05.000 Help me figure out here.

01:22:07.000 Like, I'm watching this and going, I'm amazed.

01:22:10.000 I'm amazed.

01:22:11.000 It is so different from what...

01:22:13.000 Our experience was at the time.

01:22:15.000 Give us that comparison of what you're seeing and also what advice you're giving to this next administration right now.

01:22:26.000 Look, I can't say enough good things about...

01:22:30.000 The president and his team and what they're doing.

01:22:33.000 You know, we used to joke that you aged in dog years during the first administration because it was like seven at a time.

01:22:41.000 We haven't aged.

01:22:42.000 Not a bit.

01:22:43.000 Well, we didn't.

01:22:45.000 It was the most intense, most, I think, polarizing, difficult time that we've seen probably in political history in a very long time during Trump's first administration.

01:23:00.000 Nobody expected him to win.

01:23:02.000 And when he did, they weren't happy that he was here.

01:23:05.000 Then they saw what life was like under a Trump administration.

01:23:11.000 And they had a chance to see what life was like without Trump in the White House.

01:23:16.000 They didn't like it very much.

01:23:17.000 And so now that he's back.

01:23:19.000 People want to see him doing exactly what he talked about on the campaign trail.

01:23:25.000 They want a strong economy.

01:23:26.000 They want somebody who will secure the border.

01:23:29.000 They want somebody who's going to take China on. 0.99

01:23:32.000 He was the first president in my lifetime that actually called China out and is holding their feet to the fire. 0.88

01:23:38.000 I was the first governor in the country to kick China out of our state, off of our farmland, and impose a fine on it. 1.00

01:23:45.000 We know that's popular.

01:23:50.000 And it was because of Donald Trump that we were empowered to take those type of strong actions.

01:23:55.000 We have a president who's going to make our allies actually respect us and our enemies fear us.

01:24:01.000 It's a total opposite of what we saw over the course of the last four years.

01:24:06.000 You know, you joke at the speed of which Trump is moving.

01:24:10.000 They always have...

01:24:12.000 I heard the moniker that we wish that government could move at the speed of business.

01:24:17.000 Well, he's redefining that all over again.

01:24:19.000 There's the speed of government, there's the speed of business, and now there's the speed of Trump, which is unlike anything I've ever seen.

01:24:27.000 And he's doing so much so fast, they don't even know how or where to attack him this time.

01:24:35.000 And so I hope that he can keep up this pace.

01:24:39.000 I've never seen anybody with the level of energy that he has.

01:24:43.000 As you know well, it was not surprising that we could get a phone call.

01:24:48.000 From the president at midnight, 1 a.m., asking us to do a laundry list of things and then calling us back a couple of hours later at 4 or 5 in the morning and saying, did you get all that done?

01:25:00.000 I'm like, no, I didn't.

01:25:03.000 But he doesn't sleep.

01:25:05.000 He doesn't expect anybody else to sleep either.

01:25:08.000 And he has more, he's almost twice my age and he has twice my energy.

01:25:15.000 But it's because he loves this country.

01:25:17.000 And he did not need to run and take this job on, but America needed him to be willing to do it.

01:25:24.000 And anyone else...

01:25:26.000 Anyone else that would have gone through the level of intense criticism and the attacks, two assassination attempts on his life would have given up.

01:25:43.000 But this is a president who I think that only emboldens him more.

01:25:47.000 The more they come after him, the stronger and tougher he gets, and the more he comes back ready to deliver for the American people.

01:25:57.000 And I love getting to see him with this mandate and with this level of excitement for his presidency, because he deserved it the first time and he didn't get it.

01:26:08.000 And now he's getting it, and he's winning, and because he is, America's winning.

01:26:14.000 So I love always getting the insider information.

01:26:18.000 So there would be times, this is so funny, we'd literally get, our first meeting was like 7 o'clock in the morning.

01:26:24.000 I can't even remember.

01:26:24.000 It was so early in the morning.

01:26:25.000 We're half asleep, and before you know it, they'll be like, President Trump had tweeted something out at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning.

01:26:31.000 So we would all look at Sarah, and we'd be like, okay, Sarah, this is what he said.

01:26:36.000 What are our talking points?

01:26:38.000 I mean, that's how it was.

01:26:39.000 I mean, it was so really learning on the job, too.

01:26:44.000 So now that you've transitioned from being the president's spokesperson, the press secretary at the White House, into being the governor of the state...

01:26:55.000 How does that feel?

01:26:57.000 I mean, how is it so different?

01:26:59.000 You know, it's really different when you're the one sitting in the chair and it's your name on the paper to sign legislation or an executive order.

01:27:09.000 There's a different weight and responsibility that comes with that.

01:27:13.000 But I could not be more thankful for the experience that I had in the White House because I learned so much from the president.

01:27:20.000 One, never back down.

01:27:22.000 Never stop fighting.

01:27:24.000 And always do what you think is right, and the rest of it works itself out pretty well.

01:27:28.000 And that experience, I think, gave me such great perspective.

01:27:33.000 And one of the most important things and takeaways was that I didn't need the outsiders to define me.

01:27:40.000 In those moments, the most difficult days that we had in the White House, of which there were many.

01:27:46.000 We didn't need the outside world to define us.

01:27:49.000 We had a creator who had already done that, who had given my life meaning and purpose.

01:27:54.000 And my job is to believe that and try to live up to the path that he laid for me.

01:28:00.000 And if I do that, the rest of it, whether it's in the White House, my house, or the governor's mansion, gets really simple after that.

01:28:08.000 And so proud of what we've been able to do and glad that I got to do it alongside some of the most amazing people on the planet.

01:28:15.000 You're going to make me cry.

01:28:18.000 Sarah would get up.

01:28:20.000 Every time we'd go into her office, she would have her scripture open every day.

01:28:25.000 Every day.

01:28:26.000 It's what guided you.

01:28:27.000 Every day.

01:28:28.000 Otherwise, I'm not sure we would have survived.

01:28:30.000 I would agree.

01:28:31.000 And I'd come in with my holy water.

01:28:33.000 You know, the Protestant, the Catholic, we're all in it together, okay?

01:28:37.000 So I just want to get this question in real quick because, you know, Doge has been a phenomenon.

01:28:44.000 It's been a phenomenon in the federal government, but you have like pre-Doge.

01:28:50.000 We started something we called Arkansas Forward.

01:28:53.000 It was a project to go in, look at government efficiency, waste, fraud, and abuse.

01:28:59.000 Just within the first six months, we've already identified at least $300 million in savings, which is big for Arkansas.

01:29:07.000 Our budget's $6 billion.

01:29:09.000 And so for us to identify that level of savings already that we're implementing.

01:29:14.000 And some of it was as basic as getting rid of...

01:29:18.000 Old phone and fax lines that haven't been in use in years.

01:29:22.000 We will now save the state of Arkansas a million dollars a year, just eliminating things like that.

01:29:29.000 If we can do that on an Arkansas small state level, I can't imagine what they're going to continue to be able to uncover through DOGE and the amount of savings and waste, fraud, and abuse they're going to be able to get rid of.

01:29:42.000 It's an exciting thing to see.

01:29:46.000 So, Sarah.

01:29:50.000 What inspires you every day?

01:29:52.000 My family.

01:29:53.000 I have, my daughter's here, so I'll cry when I talk about my kids.

01:29:57.000 I have the three most amazing kids, Scarlett, Huck, George.

01:30:02.000 They're 12, 11, and 9. My husband is incredible.

01:30:06.000 He has the patience of Job because he is married to me.

01:30:11.000 And I know I'm not an easy personality.

01:30:15.000 You're easier than you think.

01:30:17.000 You're wonderful to work with.

01:30:19.000 But I have an incredible family that loves me no matter what.

01:30:23.000 And my kids are perfect reminders of everything that's at stake, everything that matters and is important in the job that I do.

01:30:31.000 And I don't mean the job as governor.

01:30:33.000 While that is a big role and one I love and I'm proud and honored to have, there's no more important and bigger tasks that I have than being a mom.

01:30:41.000 And so I take that really serious and trying to do the best I can to deliver for my kids.

01:30:48.000 So my call to action to you all is that you pray for Governor Sanders and her family because it's really hard to...

01:30:57.000 Raise a family, be in the public eye, and do the incredible work that you do.

01:31:01.000 And what is your call to action to our CPAC family?

01:31:04.000 To keep fighting without you showing up and cheering and championing not just the people that are running for office, but more importantly, what they stand for.

01:31:16.000 Find people who love this country as much as you do.

01:31:20.000 Support them with everything you can and keep showing up because it makes a difference.

01:31:25.000 Because there are moments where you're running for office or you're in office and you think you're all by yourself and nobody is there.

01:31:32.000 And so when you look out and you...

01:31:33.000 If you see a room of people like this who love America as much as you do, it is a great reminder to keep fighting and not to let the naysayers get you down.

01:31:45.000 So keep showing up.

01:31:47.000 Keep doing what you're doing.

01:31:48.000 Thank you so much for being here.

01:31:49.000 Okay, we love our governor governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders Tucked we love our governor governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders Tucked

01:32:15.000 away in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Lynchburg, Virginia, you'll find us Liberty University.

01:32:21.000 Here, we pursue excellence in all of our academic endeavors, from anywhere.

01:32:27.000 We fight for victory in our athletic programs and fan the flames with a mighty roar.

01:32:32.000 We equip students with a Christ-centered perspective that changes lives.

01:32:37.000 We are creators, problem solvers, and world changers.

01:32:45.000 America is under attack.

01:32:47.000 Our families are being crushed under the politics of a radical agenda.

01:32:53.000 But moms have had enough. 1.00

01:32:55.000 We are standing up and we are fighting back.

01:32:59.000 This is our battle.

01:33:00.000 This battle is every bit as important as a revolutionary war because...

01:33:04.000 We fight for the same thing.

01:33:06.000 Moms for America is a national movement of moms reclaiming our culture for truth, family, freedom, and the Constitution.

01:33:15.000 I think Moms for America is exactly on track and is doing the right thing for the future of our country and our children.

01:33:22.000 Like, Moms for America is going at the heart of the issue. 1.00

01:33:27.000 I want to go on the record and say, I'm for moms, I'm for America, and I'm especially for Moms for America.

01:33:34.000 But I am honored to join Moms for America today as we speak out against the horrific mandates.

01:33:39.000 With a national network of over a half a million mothers, Moms for America is one of the fastest growing movements of women in the country.

01:33:49.000 The most dangerous place in all of nature is between a mama bear and her baby cub.

01:33:55.000 We are the change, no matter what, no matter where.

01:34:01.000 And no matter how difficult the obstacles are that are facing us and our families, we will not give up and we will not give in.

01:34:09.000 So if not now, then when?

01:34:11.000 If not you, then who?

01:34:12.000 Welcome to the Mumland Revolution!

01:34:15.000 The steal was stopped on Election Day, I think in no small part thanks to Judicial Watch's heavy lifting.

01:34:42.000 In just the last year and a half or two, we've cleaned up four million dirty names from the rolls.

01:34:47.000 We also got that huge Fifth Circuit ruling that found counting ballots received after Election Day is unlawful.

01:34:55.000 You can be sure that all helped ensure cleaner elections on Election Day.

01:35:00.000 But there's more work to be done, so be sure to support Judicial Watch's election integrity work.

01:35:05.000 Every institution today is under attack.

01:35:08.000 The home, the church, the government.

01:35:12.000 And many people are asking, what is the truth?

01:35:16.000 Jesus Christ claimed the ultimate truth.

01:35:19.000 Are you willing to face the truth?

01:35:21.000 Do you think the MKUltra project ever actually ended?

01:35:24.000 The Central Intelligence Agency is actively involved in mind manipulation.

01:35:28.000 We all answer to one God and one savior.

01:35:33.000 And he's there to change your life for the better.

01:35:37.000 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the president of Argentina, Javier Midlay.

01:35:49.000 Thank you.

01:36:53.000 It's a great joy for me to be back in the United States and it's an honor to be able to talk to all of you today.

01:37:03.000 Thank you very much to the present and especially thank you to CIPAC who has always had a special consideration with me.

01:37:11.000 Thank you Matt, thank you Mercy.

01:37:13.000 Just a month ago, I said in the Davos forum that I believe we are going to be through a point of inflection in our history.

01:37:29.000 La historia transcurre en fases o etapas, momentos en donde el espíritu de la idea se materializa en una persona o en un grupo de personas, a veces cercana, a veces con kilómetros de distancia entre ellos, pero con un hilo conductor invisible que si se pudiera observar...

01:37:47.000 I presume it would be very similar to the images we observe from neural networks of the human brain.

01:37:54.000 Today we are precisely in one of those moments in which the history, with H mayúscula, is changing its course. 0.94

01:38:03.000 We are seeing real time the destiny of the world to be bifurcated towards a new way, different from the place where the elites were taking us and the political establishment of our countries.

01:38:16.000 In the same way that in the 1930s, the flame of freedom was being apagated and that began a new change in the world's the flame of freedom was being apagated and that began a Finally, we can say that the era of the omnipresent state has ended.

01:38:41.000 Thank you.

01:38:47.000 Today we are witnesses of a moment in which the long march of the state on the individual is reaching its end.

01:38:54.000 Me refiero, por supuesto, al colapso del modelo colectivista y el amanecer de una nueva era de libertad.

01:39:00.000 We prepared for this moment and I believe that genuinely we are giving a crucial battle for the human future.

01:39:08.000 But as I always say, only can we work effectively if the diagnosis is correct.

01:39:23.000 We have to understand where we are and what we are facing to be able to get to where we want.

01:39:33.000 Throughout the world, Western societies face a same problem and a same enemy.

01:39:39.000 A class that extraes more resources to the citizens through impuestos, in order to implement a state-wide expansion model.

01:39:49.000 A class that pretends to regulate every aspect of the people's lives, making honor to one of the maximum fascism of Benito Mussolini, "Dentro del Estado todo, fuera del Estado nada "Dentro del Estado todo, fuera del Estado nada y nada contra el Estado".

01:40:10.000 We have called this political class "Partido of the Estado", a extended caste whose members, beyond differences superficially, share the fundamental idea of the advance of the Estado on society.

01:40:25.000 They are all those who, by economic interest, or ideological conviction, or even a ingenious idealism, work for the interests of the Estado.

01:40:36.000 which is its predicament.

01:40:39.000 The Berliner Fund, Institutions Prevendoration,ということs permanent state funders, and have been elected and relativ mathematically ذ котор, saying that organisations aальное principle of the shenanigans that work broken by political movements, the academic institutions that apply saying that organisations aальное principle of the shenanigans that work broken by political movements, the academic institutions that apply the theory of expansion, the national networks 다� Мос delight and all those in any other way that

01:41:07.000 And of course, this includes the traditional political parties.

01:41:19.000 That, no matter their color, coincide in the fundamental tesis that more estados are always better.

01:41:25.000 In Argentina, for example, we had a political system composed by 50 shadows of socialism.

01:41:31.000 In the United States there was the illusion of bipartidism, of a Democrat Party that marked the agenda, and a Republican Party that was unable to face it until the arrival of President Donald Trump.

01:41:43.000 ¡Viva! 1.00

01:42:05.000 ¡Viva! 1.00

01:42:10.000 Curiosamente, el mío lo van a tener que esperar hasta el final. .

01:42:17.000 Curiosamente, el presidente Trump es un outsider, igual que yo.

01:42:21.000 Porque la tarea que tenemos por delante, el desafío que tenemos por delante, no es para políticos tradicionales que han vivido toda su vida del sistema.

01:42:30.000 Es para gente que no le debe nada a nadie, que no está comprometida por los vicios del sistema.

01:42:35.000 and who knows that it is more important change than power by power itself.

01:42:39.000 In the political establishment of our two nations, there was a more or less explicit mentality that the progress of the State is equal to the progress of democracy.

01:43:03.000 That each conquest of the state was an act of social justice against the supposed injustices of freedom.

01:43:09.000 That the role of the state was to bring us to a egalitarian utopia through the systematic creation of new rights that obviously should be financed by the taxpayers of taxes.

01:43:23.000 It's precisely in the center of this scheme that the politicians are, the main beneficiaries of this limited expansion model.

01:43:32.000 Those who make of others live for the strength of a lifestyle.

01:43:36.000 Depositarios of power and privileges that will be the envy of any monarch of history.

01:43:40.000 No matter the televisive fights or the supposed differences partidally, they all work for the same God, the siniestry, and their manifestation on the earth, the Leviathan of which Hobbes spoke.

01:43:53.000 That's why, saving some particularities of each nation, all of us who are here have a same mission: quitar el poder al partido del Estado y devolvérselo a la sociedad.

01:44:32.000 Es decir, como decía Albert Nock, que describió en su libro "En nuestro enemigo el Estado", que el poder social fue progresivamente arrebatado y trasladado al Estado por la fuerza.

01:44:45.000 Our goal is to make the opposite way: increase the power of the citizen and take the power of the state.

01:44:53.000 For his...

01:45:02.000 ¡Auera! 1.00

01:45:08.000 ¡Auera! 1.00

01:45:27.000 Me too.

01:45:28.000 Sorry.

01:45:35.000 She's my girlfriend.

01:45:37.000 A game in this experience.

01:45:49.000 Of course, it can't be done by managing the state as it exists or just administrating correctly the resources that it has.

01:45:58.000 The only rational way is to achieve the state to its least possible expression.

01:46:04.000 Reducir el tamaño del Estado es en sí mismo un acto de justicia, porque cada erogación del Estado es una sustracción del pagador de impuestos.

01:46:13.000 Desde nuestro punto de vista, el único Estado aceptable es el Estado más chico posible para devolverle al el único Estado aceptable es el Estado más chico posible para devolverle al ciudadano lo Aplausos Aplausos Aplausos 0.54

01:46:42.000 So all the contributions that do not have to do directly with the protection of the three fundamental rights, which are the right to life, the freedom and the private property, should be the origin of individuals associated with voluntary voluntary, without the state of intromation.

01:47:09.000 This should be so because, unlike the economy, the power is a game of zero.

01:47:14.000 All the power that the State has necessarily cannot have at the same time the society.

01:47:22.000 That's why we don't believe in partial solutions or central commitments.

01:47:32.000 We know that doing things at the same time is an invitation to the return of the State, which, like a metastatic cancer, only knows to expand.

01:47:40.000 And must be obligated actively to proceed.

01:47:43.000 No serves to try to achieve a just medium.

01:47:46.000 Everything that exceeds its essential function should be removed from its orbit or sooner or later, will be able to use what does not belong.

01:47:54.000 We know that it is not easy.

01:48:14.000 The modern state has tools that have grown in sophistication with the time.

01:48:20.000 We are not talking about an obvious state like the fascist or the communist state, but a subtle and insidious state that moves on the individual through the art of propaganda and the cultural infiltration.

01:48:33.000 Or at least so was until recently, since it is more difficult to simulate its totalitarian character.

01:48:40.000 We have seen, for example, just to mention, that in certain countries of Europe, the citizens are being arrested for expressing social media.

01:48:49.000 But in terms more general, I talk about the financing of the Academy, Incentivando la elaboración de estudios que justifiquen la implementación de políticas públicas intervencionistas y de la compra encubierta de medios de comunicación mediante la pauta pública.

01:49:14.000 Hablo de las múltiples ONGs que viven de nuestros impuestos, de los subsidios a la cultura para producir propaganda.

01:49:21.000 And here in the United States, of course, the scandal of USAID, that destinated millions of dollars to the taxpayers of the impuestos to financed from television and television channels to frauds electorals like Brazil, or governments with discriminatory aspirations like the South Africa.

01:49:50.000 And as I said, governments with discriminatory aspirations like the South Africa, among other other aberrations, including the agenda of the climate paranoia, the excesses of gender ideology and the investigation that led to the creation of the COVID-19 virus.

01:50:06.000 Thank you.

01:50:14.000 Sin embargo, lo único que realmente logra este mecanismo de bajada de línea globalista es transferir riqueza de la clase baja de un país rico a la clase alta de un país pobre.

01:50:26.000 In few words, I'm talking about a global network of influence and opinion paid with the citizens' taxes, a propaganda without preceding in the human history, perhaps the biggest political scandal that we have seen.

01:50:40.000 And then, those same hypocrites accuse Elon Musk of interfering in other countries.

01:50:46.000 clearly, its big deal is as big as its total aspirations. 0.90

01:50:51.000 And if that level of collective consciousness had had solutions, its apologists would have at least something to refer to.

01:51:15.000 But that was historically the excuse of the statists of the past, that prosperity would come through the rational administration of resources by the state, resources that the private sector could be able to take advantage.

01:51:29.000 Question, who is the public sector?

01:51:31.000 Are they humans?

01:51:35.000 Sin embargo, hemos sido testigos de que a mayor expansión estatal, peor es la calidad de vida de la gente.

01:51:43.000 No, por nada, Hayek dedicó su último libro a explicar este fenómeno, al cual llamó "La fatal arrogancia".

01:51:50.000 Pero esto no es accidental.

01:51:58.000 Más allá de su evidente incompetencia, la clase política no se dedica a solucionar problemas.

01:52:04.000 Al fin y al cabo, un problema solucionado es un área de la que el Estado debe retirarse.

01:52:11.000 Al contrario, la clase política se dedica a perpetuar los problemas y así vivir de ellos para siempre.

01:52:18.000 Por eso viven creando problemas nuevos, instalándolos desde sus aparatos de propaganda para luego ofrecer a sí mismos como solución.

01:52:27.000 ¿Y en qué consiste esa solución?

01:52:29.000 in the implementation of regulations that cause more problems to be solved by more regulations.

01:52:35.000 In medicine, the term "hiatrogenia" is used to refer to the damage that a patient is due to the medical care.

01:52:52.000 So, it could be said that the statics regime consists of the iatrogenia as a policy of state.

01:52:59.000 I mean, it's the doctor who enriches the progress and intencional deterioration of his patients.

01:53:05.000 With the model of the state present, the state breaks the legs for later to sell you the mulets like a overpriced and obligate to thank you.

01:53:14.000 and you keep following them if you do not do it.

01:53:16.000 As a counterpoint, I have said that in Chinese medicine traditional Chinese, the family family family was paying for a constant salary for keeping the family healthy. the family family family was paying for a constant salary So, according to the legend, when a member was sick, the doctor stopped to perceive the honoraries, being incentivized to solve the disease in an efficient way and fast.

01:53:45.000 Imagine if the state could only work so.

01:53:48.000 How much misery would we have taken?

01:53:50.000 Today, those who want to keep this system of demensical call them anti-democratic.

01:54:03.000 Pero nuevamente, esta es una tergiversación de las palabras, algo muy propio de la izquierda, para variar.

01:54:11.000 Eso no le llaman democracia al gobierno del pueblo, sino al paradigma de expansión total, estatal y limitada, que ellos mismos administran.

01:54:21.000 For this, democracy exists only if they win what they want, to be able to put people in their own interests.

01:54:29.000 But when the minority electorate is they, the majority of the election comes to be authoritarian.

01:54:35.000 In fact, many of us who accuse us of anti-democratic were not elected.

01:54:41.000 They have taken decisions that affect thousands of millions of people around the world and, however, nobody knows them.

01:54:47.000 They are not responsible for anyone else than themselves, and they cannot be taken by the popular vote.

01:54:52.000 And so, they come to talk about democracy.

01:54:56.000 In fact, they say that Trump and I are a danger to democracy, but in reality, they are saying that we are a danger to them.

01:55:13.000 Thank you.

01:55:34.000 Somos un peligro para el partido del Estado, para quienes viven de su expansión ilimitada, para quienes quieren un individuo dependiente y sometido a sus caprichos regulatorios.

01:55:45.000 ¿Y saben qué?

01:55:46.000 Tienen razón.

01:55:47.000 Somos su peor pesadilla.

01:55:49.000 We came for their privileges, having been chosen by the majority of our people with the clear mandate of quitarles a power that does not belong to us. 0.98

01:55:59.000 "Livere! ¡Livere! ¡Livere! 1.00

01:56:17.000 ¡Livere! ¡Livere! ¡Livere! ¡Livere! ¡Livere! ¡Livere!

01:56:17.000 Hoy nuestros países, Argentina y Estados Unidos, necesitan pasar por una segunda independencia.

01:56:25.000 The first one will free us from the power of the European monarchs.

01:56:28.000 The second one will free us from the tyranny of the State Party.

01:56:33.000 That's why we put so much effort in identifying it, because it cannot be fought against what is not known.

01:56:47.000 And to have a well defined enemy is a fundamental aspect of our cultural battle.

01:56:53.000 Now we know, we have won in the elections and we are in the process of disarming the Leviathan, which is a tool of perpetuity.

01:57:04.000 We have no secret formula.

01:57:13.000 Only to know the human history and know what worked and what not.

01:57:17.000 That's why, with humility, I want to reflect a little bit on how we've been taking this battle.

01:57:25.000 We work with firmness and front, without giving place to compromises.

01:57:30.000 We defend a set of values that we are not willing to negotiate, as they are not willing to negotiate at the time of our freedom.

01:57:39.000 What they imposed without our consent, is being eliminated without their consent.

01:57:47.000 That's why we have passed the motosierra by the sectors and attributes of the State that we consider superfluous, redundant, necessary.

01:58:07.000 or directly perniciosos for society.

01:58:10.000 And more still, this year we will be able to take the phase 2 of this process that we have called the Motosierra Profunda to continue to be able to pay the state, devolviendo a people the wealth that never had been able to have been arrebatated.

01:58:40.000 What interesting is that this process of justice has a political correlation, because, by its nature, the state of the state was financed historically from the public spending and from the negocios with the state.

01:59:02.000 That's why, the State's cut the manguer to the clients of the State inquisitive in it, that they would have a fierce resistance to change, paying the money to pay the impuestos to keep us subsyugated.

01:59:15.000 Our method is similar to our dear friend Elon Musk: "Revising office by office".

01:59:30.000 Conservar lo que sirve y funciona y descartar el resto.

01:59:34.000 Por eso le obsequió una motosierra.

01:59:36.000 With us, nobody can justify the cost of income tax.

01:59:41.000 We are saved.

02:00:02.000 Many of them will return to the private sector and gain their lives of their goods and services in the market, like the taxpayers of the tax that have lived so many years.

02:00:12.000 Mi más sentido pésame a los políticos que creyeron que este momento nunca llegaría y no están preparados, porque se van a llevar un baldazo de agua fría.

02:00:21.000 Por suerte para ellos, en toda desgracia hay una oportunidad, en toda desgracia hay una oportunidad, y debido a nuestro avance de regulador, los salarios del sector privado seguirán subiendo, por lo que si hacen las cosas los salarios del sector privado seguirán subiendo, por lo que si hacen las cosas bien, podrán

02:00:51.000 Como ya he dicho, esto no es una tarea sencilla.

02:01:01.000 Here in the United States, bureaucrats rebel have tried to sabotage the work And we're going

02:01:33.000 We are going to continue fighting.

02:01:35.000 But today, the problem extends beyond the pressures that the model of the present state has subjected to each of our nation individually.

02:02:00.000 Because the decline of our governments during the recent history, throughout the long and long of the Occident, not only empobreciated spiritually and spiritually our own citizens, but also affected our political, economic, cultural and socially, against the external enemy.

02:02:16.000 We became morally weak and made us vulnerable.

02:02:19.000 At the worst expressions of the barbarian, the worst enemies of freedom. 1.00

02:02:25.000 And to them no one can give a cent, because when they're blood, they move forward and without pied.

02:02:32.000 This was demonstrated during the cobardes attacks perpetuados on October 7th of 2023 in Israel, which cost more than 1.000 innocents and the capture of 251 people.

02:02:44.000 This week Israel received the bodies without the living of the families, which were persecuted by the terrorist and murder which were persecuted by the terrorist and murder of Hamas, among which one is a mother and two children, a child of 4 years old and a child of 9 months old.

02:03:11.000 Es tan inescrupuloso y sanguinario este régimen que...

02:03:15.000 In the last gesto canallesco, they didn't have a better idea than exhibiting their mouths against the victor of a multitude without the most minimum respect.

02:03:25.000 This is what is in the game, and we can't give ourselves the luxury of failure.

02:03:29.000 That is why it is important that nations that we have embraced in the idea of freedom remain united and collaborate with others.

02:03:37.000 We must form a free alliance of nations, because as I have said in another occasion, the wrong organized only because as I have said in another occasion, the wrong organized only can be defeated by the

02:03:58.000 Only through this international right-wing, we will put a fin to the political caste that we face, which is going to be hunding the West's deep deep and to recover the impetus to protect the despotic forces that we want.

02:04:21.000 For that, I want to also mention that Argentina is the first country in the world to be the first place in the world to be the reciprocity agreement that Trump's administration in terms of commercial.

02:04:31.000 Thank you.

02:04:49.000 In fact, if we were restricted by the Mercosur, Argentina would already work on a free trade agreement with the United States that is mutually beneficial and that is not on the backs of the Argentine product but not on the American market.

02:05:13.000 This is so because only working with those who want to build a free world we can go ahead.

02:05:19.000 Thank you.

02:05:20.000 Just so we'll be able to go out of the pain of the state omniprocent.

02:05:24.000 and so we can continue doing what we know as Occident, putting down the limits of what possible, trusting in the creativity of society and not in the sterile discrecionality of the bureaucrats.

02:05:36.000 So we can return our journey of greatness as civilization, making honor of our ancestors who gave us life for a free world and a prosperous making honor of our ancestors who gave us life for a free Only so, finally, we can find ourselves with ourselves and create what made us great as civilization.

02:06:04.000 God bless the Argentina Republic.

02:06:07.000 God bless the United States.

02:06:09.000 God bless the United States.

02:06:09.000 God bless the Earth.

02:06:11.000 God bless the Earth.

02:06:11.000 ¡Viva la libertad, carajo! ¡Viva la libertad, carajo! ¡Viva la libertad, ¡Viva la libertad, carajo! ¡Viva la libertad, ¡Viva la libertad, carajo! ¡Viva la libertad, ¡Viva la libertad, carajo! ¡Viva

02:07:45.000 Who is ready in just a few short hours to hear from the man himself, our 47th president, Donald J. Trump? .

02:07:58.000 My friends, it has been a long road, has it not?

02:08:03.000 It's been a long road.

02:08:05.000 And these last four years, we felt every single painful minute.

02:08:11.000 But nothing, nothing, my friends, is sweeter or more extraordinary than victory.

02:08:20.000 Who here has enjoyed the last 30 days of America's new golden age?

02:08:28.000 *crowd cheers* And who here has been filled with pride and excitement in watching President Trump install the most extraordinary cabinet and team any of us has ever seen?

02:08:47.000 Our new Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.

02:08:53.000 Our new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem.

02:09:03.000 Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.

02:09:07.000 And, of course, we have the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk.

02:09:13.000 White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles.

02:09:18.000 And, and.

02:09:21.000 Perhaps the most exciting of all is the fact that every single day, the entire White House staff, the entire administration, the entire cabinet on behalf of President Trump and his extraordinary leadership is getting...

02:09:41.000 The lies out of our schools, the men out of women's sports, the poison out of our foods, the woke out of our military, the predators off our streets, and the illegal aliens the hell out of our country. 0.99

02:09:58.000 It's happening.

02:09:59.000 It is happening.

02:10:01.000 Every day, under President Trump, he is saying hell no to DEI. He is saying hell no to CRT. A historic slate of executive orders have been issued by President Trump to reclaim control of this government,

02:10:29.000 to reclaim control of our destiny, to reclaim control of our future, and to restore the idea that under a democracy The entire federal bureaucracy works for President Trump and not the other way around.

02:10:45.000 He is the elected head of our government.

02:10:48.000 And to all the people in the media, all the people on the radical left, all the people in the Democratic Party screaming about democracy, Donald Trump is the one who is saving democracy.

02:11:00.000 Donald Trump is the one who is saving our Constitution.

02:11:04.000 Donald Trump is the one who is saving America.

02:11:07.000 And any federal bureaucrat who defies the lawful orders of this president will be fired.

02:11:19.000 President Trump will ensure that whether you work at the FBI, whether you work at the CIA, whether you work at the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services, career Civil servants, also known as bureaucrats, work for the American people, and they work for the president, the American people elected.

02:11:43.000 They do not set their own agenda.

02:11:45.000 They do not write their own rules.

02:11:47.000 They do not work for themselves.

02:11:49.000 They work for each and every one of you.

02:11:51.000 You pay their salaries.

02:11:54.000 You pay for the buildings they work in.

02:11:58.000 You pay for every single thing they do.

02:12:01.000 And if they are not following the laws, the Constitution, and the President of the United States, then they will find a new career.

02:12:08.000 By the way, speaking of the FBI, who here is thrilled about Kash Patel? .

02:12:25.000 Let us not forget.

02:12:27.000 Let us not forget.

02:12:29.000 What President Trump endured in order to get to this point, to climb to the top of that Everest summit, let us not forget what this whole movement has endured to reach this glorious day.

02:12:45.000 Eight long years of weaponized government.

02:12:49.000 The Russia hopes. 0.79

02:12:51.000 The Ukraine hopes.

02:12:52.000 One lie after another.

02:12:55.000 One fraudulent impeachment after another.

02:12:57.000 One hoax, one smear.

02:13:00.000 Government weaponized at every level against democracy.

02:13:03.000 Government weaponized at every level against the people.

02:13:08.000 Democrat prosecutors, Democrat attorneys general, Democrat careers, using their power.

02:13:16.000 To try to sabotage the democracy of this country.

02:13:20.000 To try to keep President Trump off the ballot.

02:13:23.000 To try to throw President Trump in jail.

02:13:26.000 To try to arrest his aides and his supporters.

02:13:30.000 An authoritarian movement in this country that has at every step tried to stop the workings of our democracy.

02:13:41.000 And President Trump On a field in Pennsylvania, nearly lost his life.

02:13:47.000 And a few weeks later, another assassination plot.

02:13:53.000 And let me ask you this question.

02:13:55.000 When the lawsuits came against President Trump, when the lawfare came against President Trump, when the weaponized law enforcement and intelligence community came against President Trump, and when the bullets came against President Trump, did he falter?

02:14:12.000 Did he back down?

02:14:13.000 Did he yield?

02:14:14.000 Did he surrender?

02:14:16.000 Did he waver?

02:14:17.000 Or did he stand up tall and strong and raise his fists into the air and say three immortal words?

02:14:23.000 Fight!

02:14:26.000 Every day, every day, that is what he is doing for you.

02:14:30.000 He is fighting for your families.

02:14:31.000 He is fighting for your children.

02:14:33.000 He is fighting for your future.

02:14:35.000 He is fighting for the fundamental idea that this country belongs not to the bureaucrats.

02:14:41.000 Not to the radical left communists.

02:14:43.000 Not to our foreign enemies.

02:14:45.000 Not to the criminal cartels.

02:14:47.000 Not to the criminal aliens. 0.85

02:14:48.000 This country belongs to the law-abiding, patriotic, God-fearing American citizens.

02:14:54.000 It belongs to the people in this room, and it belongs to the patriots watching at home today.

02:15:00.000 I want you to know that every single morning, President Trump wakes up.

02:15:04.000 And he thinks about you.

02:15:06.000 And all day long, as he's signing executive orders, as he's meeting with world leaders, as he is orchestrating and directing the actions of this government, he is thinking about you and your future.

02:15:17.000 President Trump's heart beats for the American people.

02:15:21.000 President Trump's heart beats for the American republic.

02:15:24.000 And President Trump's heart is filled with nothing but love and loyalty for this republic.

02:15:33.000 No president has done more in 30 days than President Trump has done.

02:15:38.000 But we need you to stay in the fight.

02:15:41.000 It is not enough to celebrate the victories we've achieved thus far.

02:15:46.000 Every single day, I need, we need, and President Trump, our president, needs you to be involved in pushing this agenda forward.

02:15:58.000 Promoting every single victory, every success, every agenda item, being involved at every level of politics to keep driving forward.

02:16:07.000 You think they're just going to give us our country back?

02:16:10.000 You think they're just going to roll over, move out of the way, stop their scheming and their lying?

02:16:14.000 Or do you think we are going to have to be on top of it every single day, focused every single day, driving forward every single day with unrelenting focus and passion?

02:16:25.000 Because God gave us this country.

02:16:28.000 Our founding fathers fought and died for this country.

02:16:32.000 Generations of Americans have sacrificed and bled for this country.

02:16:35.000 And we are not going to let the radical left, the communists, and the America haters take our country.

02:16:41.000 It's not going to happen.

02:16:43.000 Not now, not ever.

02:16:47.000 But it's going to take everyone in this room to stand with President Trump each and every day, to stand by his side every single day as President Trump boldly and bravely leads us into this golden age.

02:17:00.000 And if you do that, I promise you, if you support this president and his leadership vision and his command and his inspiration, I promise you.

02:17:09.000 That if we follow President Trump, then this is what our future will look like.

02:17:13.000 The best economy in history, the strongest border in history, the proudest and most patriotic children in history, and the single greatest future in history.

02:17:22.000 And we will prove worthy of this moment.

02:17:24.000 We will prove worthy of this period.

02:17:27.000 We will prove worthy of this opportunity given to us by Almighty God.

02:17:31.000 And I swear to you, and I promise you and I pledge to you, it will all be worth it.

02:17:37.000 And our children will grow up in a world where they can say America is stronger, more incredible, more courageous, more united, more devoted, more committed, more incredible, Amazing that it has ever been before with the leadership and the vision and the drive of our President Donald J. Trump.

02:17:57.000 So I ask you all to send a message right now to all the bureaucrats, to all the radical left commies, to the criminal aliens, the foreign gangs, the transnational terrorists, to everyone who threatens the future of this country.

02:18:10.000 Do you stand with President Trump?

02:18:12.000 Do you support President Trump?

02:18:14.000 Do you believe in President Trump?

02:18:16.000 And do you believe in the future of America?

02:18:20.000 Thank you.

02:18:21.000 God bless you and God bless the United States.

02:18:24.000 I love you.

02:18:25.000 The 47th president of the United States of America.

02:18:44.000 And, you know, I wouldn't say Fox has been exactly perfect.

02:18:47.000 Fox has been a big difference of Fox between now and what it was four years ago, as you know.

02:18:53.000 But we have others that come along and they're doing well.

02:18:56.000 And Newsmax has been really good.

02:18:59.000 And, you know, others are coming along.

02:19:02.000 And people are seeing that they're watching these conservative networks.

02:19:05.000 President Trump is right.

02:19:07.000 That's why millions of Americans are tuning into Newsmax for the real news they can trust.

02:19:12.000 Newsmax for the real news.

02:19:44.000 Newsmax for the real news.

02:20:03.000 The Central Intelligence Agency is actively involved in mind manipulation.

02:20:07.000 We all answer to one God and one Savior, and he's there to change your life for the better.

02:20:16.000 The End

02:20:46.000 Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for The Great One and His Boss.

02:20:55.000 Please welcome, from The Mark Levin Show, Mark Levin.

02:21:00.000 And from America First Legal, Julie Strauss Levin.

02:21:04.000 Good morning, CPAC.

02:21:34.000 How's everybody today?

02:21:37.000 You're looking beautiful.

02:21:38.000 And I tell you what, honey, I've been here several days.

02:21:42.000 The energy and the excitement in this room is unbelievable.

02:21:47.000 It's hard to believe that a year has gone.

02:21:51.000 Thank God we lived with four years of a president who tried to shove down our throats Marxism and the moral decay of the fabric of our country.

02:22:02.000 And here we are.

02:22:03.000 Fast forward.

02:22:04.000 We got President Donald J. Trump.

02:22:06.000 We have two genders. 0.73

02:22:08.000 We have DEI gone.

02:22:11.000 We have equality over equity.

02:22:14.000 Border crossings down 93%.

02:22:16.000 And we have a world stage where America is now respected and feared.

02:22:23.000 So, what do you think?

02:22:25.000 Give me your two seconds on this.

02:22:27.000 Pretty good.

02:22:28.000 Next question.

02:22:30.000 How is everybody?

02:22:33.000 Come on, let's go! 0.99

02:22:38.000 It's exciting times, is it not?

02:22:42.000 Well, I was thinking about something, about this cabinet that we have now, and I thought to myself, we really have a cabinet that looks like America here.

02:22:52.000 First of all, you have a president that knows how many grandchildren he has, and he loves every one of them.

02:23:00.000 That helps.

02:23:02.000 But let's look at this cabinet.

02:23:04.000 We have the first...

02:23:05.000 I'm sounding like a liberal.

02:23:07.000 We have the first person of color as the FBI director.

02:23:10.000 Have you heard them say that?

02:23:12.000 No.

02:23:14.000 First Cuban American as Secretary of State.

02:23:18.000 The first gay Secretary of the Treasury.

02:23:22.000 The first straight Secretary of Transportation in four years.

02:23:31.000 We have one of the highest-ranking African Americans, Elon Musk.

02:23:40.000 We have the first hillbilly vice president, J.D. Vance.

02:23:47.000 We have the first secretary of defense who isn't 114 years old.

02:23:54.000 We have women in the cabinet who are... 1.00

02:23:58.000 proud to be called women and know what the hell a woman is. 0.91

02:24:01.000 And then there's Donald Trump.

02:24:08.000 Thank you.

02:24:12.000 Who's on course of being the greatest president, if not in modern history, all history.

02:24:17.000 Look what he's done in four weeks.

02:24:19.000 Bravo, bravo.

02:24:20.000 Give a round of applause.

02:24:21.000 And one other thing about Donald Trump.

02:24:27.000 I told Donald Trump this at a Hanukkah party a few years ago.

02:24:32.000 He's the greatest friend Israel's ever had.

02:24:35.000 And so are you, by the way.

02:24:37.000 And I want to thank you for that.

02:24:39.000 He's the greatest friend Jews have ever had.

02:24:41.000 So we have the first Jewish president in American history, too.

02:24:45.000 Looks like America, that cabinet.

02:24:47.000 So speaking of that, first of all, I want to do a real sincere shout-out to Mercy and Max Schlapp, because they're...

02:24:56.000 Steadfast support of Israel is seen throughout this conference and day in and day out at CPAC. So we really need to thank them for that.

02:25:06.000 It's really, really huge.

02:25:08.000 You know, there used to be a time that depravity, murder, brutality was not acceptable to either party when Republicans and Democrats alike were determined.

02:25:25.000 To eradicate the enemy.

02:25:27.000 But here we are, after an October 7, where we really learned what today's Democrat Party is.

02:25:33.000 It's the Republican Party, it's conservatives, it's Jews, it's Christians who really care about what's going on in Israel and are appalled at the heinous acts. 0.86

02:25:45.000 That happened on October 7th.

02:25:48.000 It's the Republicans, it's the conservatives, it's Donald J. Trump who have said Israel must conquer, Israel must win, Israel must do what it needs to do, not just to defend, but to go on offense and get rid of the enemy.

02:26:02.000 So I just want to remind everybody that a year ago I interviewed the father of a hostage victim at that time.

02:26:12.000 Sagi Dekelhan, and here we are a year later.

02:26:15.000 He's out.

02:26:16.000 But, honey, I want you to talk about what we saw the other day with four bodies coming out of Israel and the joy that was exhibited by the Palestinians in Gaza as these coffins were shown. 1.00

02:26:34.000 These bastards must be eradicated. 1.00

02:26:36.000 It's that simple. 1.00

02:26:42.000 You don't take a nine-month-old baby and a four-year-old little boy and their mother and torture them, strangle those kids with your bare hands, chop up their bodies so nobody they think will notice.

02:27:02.000 Remember when that mother was being pulled with her kids and she knew that people doing this are subhumans. 0.74

02:27:10.000 They are rabid.

02:27:11.000 They're not animals.

02:27:12.000 Animals don't do this.

02:27:14.000 Donald Trump knows this.

02:27:17.000 These are the same people who attacked us on 9-11. 0.94

02:27:20.000 These are the same people who decapitated 70 black Christians in a Congo church 48 hours ago. 0.98

02:27:30.000 All of them. 0.99

02:27:32.000 This is the enemy.

02:27:34.000 It's not about land.

02:27:36.000 It's not about borders.

02:27:37.000 It's not about any of that. 0.97

02:27:41.000 They seek to extinguish us, these Islamist terrorists, and we're going to have to extinguish them before they even have a shot at extinguishing us. 1.00

02:27:57.000 Another thing. 0.96

02:28:00.000 Constitutional crisis.

02:28:01.000 Give me a break.

02:28:03.000 The Democrat Party that hates the founders, that is...

02:28:07.000 Pushing CRT, the 1619 Project, that tells us the Constitution's too old and too white. 0.89

02:28:14.000 The Democrat Party that doesn't believe in the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, 9th, 10th, 14th Amendments.

02:28:21.000 The Democrat Party that doesn't believe in separation of powers.

02:28:25.000 We don't need lectures from them about the Constitution of the United States.

02:28:29.000 That's number one.

02:28:34.000 Number two, you activist judges.

02:28:37.000 Which are basically slip and fall, ambulance-chasing lawyers in black robes.

02:28:42.000 That's what they are.

02:28:44.000 You either act like judges or get the hell off the bench.

02:28:47.000 You are the people destroying the Constitution.

02:28:56.000 The President of the United States has a right to make personnel decisions.

02:28:59.000 He has a right to make budget decisions.

02:29:02.000 He has a right to restructure the bureaucracy.

02:29:04.000 You know, I happen to have here a copy of the Constitution.

02:29:08.000 Not that you need it.

02:29:09.000 I mean, you really do pretty much know it.

02:29:11.000 This little baby sticks with me all the time.

02:29:14.000 And let me tell you something.

02:29:16.000 You know how many federal district judges are in this Constitution?

02:29:20.000 None.

02:29:21.000 They're created by Congress.

02:29:23.000 That's right.

02:29:25.000 So Congress has the power to make decisions over the executive branch.

02:29:28.000 I thought it was separation of powers.

02:29:31.000 Judges have the power to tell the CDC what to put on their website?

02:29:35.000 How's that separation of powers?

02:29:37.000 We have a big problem in this country.

02:29:39.000 We can't decide if we're a constitutional republic, a federal republic, a representative republic, or a republic at all.

02:29:46.000 And the truth is that if they have their way, the people who are worried about the Constitution, first of all, what Constitution are they worried about?

02:29:54.000 The old Soviet Constitution? 0.76

02:29:56.000 Because they're sure as hell not worried about our Constitution, that I can tell you.

02:30:00.000 You can't be a Marxist and Islamist, a radical leftist, and support the Constitution of the United States.

02:30:06.000 You just can't.

02:30:08.000 What Elon Musk, with the leadership of Donald Trump, have uncovered is a government within a government.

02:30:13.000 It's not just waste, fraud, and abuse.

02:30:16.000 It is a subterranean government that is spending trillions of dollars to push a radical left agenda.

02:30:24.000 And we have no help from you and the media who are attacking the very people who are uncovering the bloat and the spending and the waste and the criminality.

02:30:36.000 Why the hell aren't you uncovering it? 1.00

02:30:39.000 That's your damn job. 0.99

02:30:41.000 Well, and it's the same media that likes to avail itself of the First Amendment, right, when it's convenient. 1.00

02:30:48.000 So...

02:30:49.000 Oh, can I... Yeah.

02:30:51.000 AP? And the rest of your big corporate media, it says freedom of the press.

02:30:58.000 It doesn't say freedom of the corporate press, okay?

02:31:01.000 The President of the United States can decide which press he wants in the press room and which he doesn't.

02:31:07.000 Who died and gave you permanent seats in the press room?

02:31:11.000 NBC and ABC and CBS? Besides, we don't get news from you people.

02:31:19.000 I wrote a whole book on it called Unfreedom of the Press.

02:31:22.000 You're Democrats.

02:31:23.000 You're leftists.

02:31:25.000 We know exactly who you are, what you're doing.

02:31:28.000 You can do whatever you want on your own time.

02:31:31.000 You can pretend you're in the press.

02:31:33.000 We're not going to shut you down.

02:31:35.000 We want you out there.

02:31:36.000 Why? 0.99

02:31:37.000 We want the schmucks out front so everybody can see what they look like. 1.00

02:31:41.000 That's okay. 0.98

02:31:42.000 And not only that, what happened on November 5th?

02:31:45.000 I mean, November 5th proved that the American people are not fooled by the people.

02:31:51.000 Back there.

02:31:52.000 And they know and they're able to find the truth.

02:31:55.000 Because Americans are smart.

02:31:57.000 And they know American values.

02:31:59.000 They know right from wrong.

02:32:00.000 And no media is going to change that.

02:32:03.000 So, look, we don't have a lot of time.

02:32:04.000 By the way, I know.

02:32:06.000 I can't stop.

02:32:07.000 No, but I... Wait, wait, wait.

02:32:09.000 I'm going to let you say something.

02:32:10.000 But I do want to...

02:32:12.000 I need you to reserve...

02:32:13.000 Because remember, I'm the boss here.

02:32:15.000 I'm the boss.

02:32:15.000 30 seconds.

02:32:16.000 I need you to reserve time to talk about...

02:32:19.000 The misnomer that is birthright citizenship.

02:32:22.000 I will deal with it.

02:32:22.000 That takes about 14 seconds.

02:32:24.000 No, no, no, no.

02:32:27.000 You know, the media are funny, aren't they?

02:32:30.000 They lied about Joe Biden.

02:32:31.000 They didn't care they didn't have any press conferences.

02:32:34.000 And now they're worried about a seat at the table.

02:32:36.000 Worried about a seat at...

02:32:37.000 For what?

02:32:39.000 Let me tell you something in the media.

02:32:41.000 Do we agree that Abraham Lincoln was a fantastic president?

02:32:44.000 Yes.

02:32:46.000 He was a great president.

02:32:48.000 He shut down 200 newspapers.

02:32:51.000 Donald Trump hasn't shut down anything.

02:32:55.000 You're going broke because we the people are shutting you down.

02:32:58.000 We're not subscribing. 1.00

02:32:59.000 We're not buying your damn newspapers. 0.99

02:33:02.000 We're not watching your TV shows. 0.99

02:33:04.000 We support the First Amendment.

02:33:06.000 We support free speech.

02:33:08.000 We support freedom of the press.

02:33:10.000 You don't.

02:33:14.000 How do you really feel about it, honey?

02:33:16.000 No, just kidding.

02:33:17.000 Okay, so now seriously, I think we need to...

02:33:20.000 She's pretty. 0.99

02:33:21.000 We need to talk about birthright citizenship because, again, this is a perfect example of what the left do.

02:33:28.000 They take words like democracy and the Constitution, and then they exploit them because they don't really care about either of them.

02:33:35.000 So they came up with this term, birthright citizenship, like...

02:33:39.000 Anybody who comes here illegally and gives birth, that that child, that baby, is an American citizen like magic. 0.99

02:33:46.000 And that's not true.

02:33:47.000 They cite the 14th Amendment.

02:33:50.000 Do your Mark Levin thing, where you give a little bit of a primer.

02:33:53.000 No, because it's really important.

02:33:55.000 It was so taken hostage, this paragraph in the 14th Amendment.

02:34:01.000 First of all, I wore the wrong socks, honey.

02:34:03.000 I'm showing a little ankle up here.

02:34:07.000 I'm not showing any more.

02:34:09.000 Okay, so I wasn't going to bring an intention.

02:34:11.000 All right, let me do it.

02:34:13.000 I've been talking about this for 20 years.

02:34:17.000 Read it yourself.

02:34:19.000 Where's the phrase birthright citizenship in the Constitution?

02:34:22.000 It's right next to abortion. 1.00

02:34:23.000 It doesn't exist.

02:34:24.000 So they have this invisible pen, you know, where they write these things in.

02:34:29.000 The 14th Amendment was passed like the 13th and the 15th because of slavery. 0.55

02:34:38.000 And the Civil War.

02:34:40.000 And the country came together and said, we must, in the Constitution, fix this.

02:34:47.000 We must give equal rights to human beings who have been held as slaves and are now free.

02:34:55.000 We must give them all the protections and rights of a citizen of the United States.

02:35:02.000 Jurisdiction thereof meant The black slaves who were now free were in the jurisdiction of the United States, and all the rights and privileges, including equality and all the rest, would apply to them. 0.95

02:35:20.000 It was written by Republican senators.

02:35:24.000 The 14th Amendment was based, this aspect of it, based on the 1866 Civil Rights Act, the first Civil Rights Act.

02:35:32.000 Andrew Johnson, who was then president after the assassination of Lincoln, was a Democrat.

02:35:39.000 He refused to sign that civil rights bill.

02:35:42.000 So they overrode him and they said, we need to enshrine this in the Constitution of the United States.

02:35:49.000 That provision applied to black people who were freed from slavery and were still being abused in the old Confederacy.

02:36:01.000 And that amendment was passed by three-fourths of the state legislatures, including southern states, that were told, if you don't vote for this, you're not coming back into the Union.

02:36:12.000 We know what they meant.

02:36:14.000 The author of the 14th Amendment specifically rejected the idea of aliens.

02:36:19.000 Specifically.

02:36:20.000 In fact, they rejected the idea of what they called Indians, because they had separate countries at the time, or at least it was viewed that way.

02:36:28.000 So they were excluded.

02:36:32.000 Underscoring the fact that you had to be a United States citizen and understood to be.

02:36:37.000 So people who write that all of a sudden, now it's interpreted to mean, if you come into the United States illegally and you have a baby, that's a citizen, that baby?

02:36:46.000 There is literally no language to back it up, no legislative history to back it up, no history whatsoever to back it up, and yet I suspect the courts are going to give the birthright citizenship crowd what they want.

02:37:00.000 And they'll mention some 1898 decision involving a Chinese couple.

02:37:05.000 Still didn't apply to illegal aliens.

02:37:07.000 So illegal aliens have no constitutional basis. 1.00

02:37:10.000 But I will just warn you about this.

02:37:12.000 Hollywood John Roberts, that's what I call him because he's worried about the press.

02:37:17.000 I don't think he and I don't think his new best friend Barrett will do the right thing.

02:37:23.000 I think they'll join the three...

02:37:25.000 I can't say women because she wouldn't say women. 0.82

02:37:29.000 They won't join.

02:37:30.000 That's okay.

02:37:31.000 You can say it.

02:37:31.000 Go for it.

02:37:32.000 Two of the non-males and one of the males. 0.55

02:37:37.000 I think that's a five that worries me.

02:37:39.000 But just understand, your Constitution does not provide for birthright citizenship.

02:37:45.000 Period.

02:37:46.000 So I just want to add one little fine point because you said a lot.

02:37:50.000 You said a lot there.

02:37:51.000 You notice how it's the Republican Party that consistently has been the champion of equality.

02:37:58.000 And the rights of black people throughout history.

02:38:02.000 Every major civil rights bill, starting in 1866 through the 50s with Eisenhower, the 60s, the Republicans either wrote it, sponsored it, or they had supermajorities to get them passed.

02:38:15.000 Never forget, the Democrat Party is the party of slavery, segregation, eugenics, Jim Crow. 0.76

02:38:21.000 Now they're the party of Marxism, Islamism, and anti-constitutionalism. 0.91

02:38:25.000 That's a fact.

02:38:27.000 And it was Woodrow Wilson who did what?

02:38:29.000 He resegregated the military when he became president.

02:38:33.000 God bless you all.

02:38:35.000 Our time is up.

02:38:36.000 Be well.

02:38:36.000 We love you, CPAC.

02:38:38.000 And thank you, President Trump.

02:38:41.000 Thank you.

02:39:10.000 Every fabric of our nation seemed under siege.

02:39:12.000 One organization was willing to fight for America's principles and defend our children's future.

02:39:18.000 Joining me now, Terry Schelling, president of the American Principles Project.

02:39:22.000 This is what happens when tolerance goes too far.

02:39:26.000 It's a bit shocking to hear Democrats talk about them losing the culture war.

02:39:30.000 After all, they started it.

02:39:31.000 You're denying reality and you're denying them the care that they need.

02:39:35.000 The only homicide on January 6th was the unlawful shooting death of Ashley Babbitt.

02:39:45.000 This major new lawsuit that Judicial Watch filed, a $30 million wrongful death lawsuit against the United States government.

02:39:53.000 She was unarmed.

02:39:55.000 There were no weapons visible.

02:39:56.000 She was shot in the shoulder and killed by Lieutenant Byrd.

02:39:59.000 He popped out and shot her dead!

02:40:01.000 Ashley was shot in cold blood, and the rule of law requires justice for her.

02:40:07.000 Every institution today is under attack.

02:40:09.000 The home, the church, the government.

02:40:14.000 And many people are asking, what is the truth?

02:40:17.000 Jesus Christ claimed to be ultimate truth.

02:40:20.000 Are you willing to face the truth?

02:40:22.000 Do you think the MKUltra project ever actually ended?

02:40:25.000 The Central Intelligence Agency is actively involved in mind manipulation.

02:40:29.000 We all answer to one God and one Savior.

02:40:34.000 And He's there to change your life.

02:40:38.000 All right.

02:40:43.000 America is back on track 2025. But next year, CPAC 2026 is going to be even bigger.

02:40:50.000 Go get your tickets now.

02:40:52.000 Go to CPAC.org and join the movement.

02:40:56.000 As I think it was President Reagan said, we're from the government.

02:40:59.000 We're here to help.

02:41:01.000 I think you all know that I've always felt the...

02:41:04.000 Nine most terrifying words in the English language are, I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

02:41:11.000 We're from the government.

02:41:13.000 We're here to help.

02:41:17.000 I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear.

02:41:21.000 President Trump is back in the White House.

02:41:23.000 Donald Trump has taken back America.

02:41:30.000 I actually started quite a while ago in CPAC. And I enjoyed it so much that I came back for a second one, then a third, then I said, what the hell, let's run for president.

02:41:42.000 Matt said, it's like five years ago, six years ago.

02:41:45.000 He says, you should run for politics.

02:41:47.000 He's the one.

02:41:47.000 He said, you should run.

02:41:48.000 For the presidency of the United States.

02:41:52.000 It is my honor to introduce to CPAC 2017 Our president, Donald Trump.

02:42:00.000 First of all, I want to thank Matt Schlapp and his very, very incredible wife and boss, Mercedes, who have been fantastic friends and supporters and so great when I watch them on television defending me, nobody has a chance.

02:42:17.000 I love this place.

02:42:19.000 Love you people.

02:42:21.000 You never stop fighting for America, and I will never, ever stop fighting for you.

02:42:27.000 We know that there are still more records to be shattered, new summits to be scaled, more triumphs to be realized, and more amazing history just waiting to be written.

02:42:37.000 The American adventure has only just begun.

02:42:41.000 God bless America, and we will see you next year.

02:42:45.000 Thank you very much.

02:42:46.000 You never stop fighting for America, and I will never, ever, ever stop fighting for America.

02:42:55.000 Stop fighting for you.

02:42:58.000 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome host of the PBD podcast, Patrick Bet-David.

02:43:05.000 All right.

02:43:09.000 How you doing, huh?

02:43:17.000 How you feeling?

02:43:18.000 Good?

02:43:19.000 Okay.

02:43:20.000 I got the lunchtime slot, which means some of you are either eating or wanting to go eat, but I do have a message for you.

02:43:28.000 How are you doing?

02:43:29.000 Yes, it's great to be with you.

02:43:30.000 How many of you here watch or listen to the PBD podcast?

02:43:34.000 I'm curious.

02:43:35.000 Okay, it's a good amount.

02:43:37.000 Alright, so I got a simple message for you with the limited time that I have here for you.

02:43:41.000 First of all, it's an honor to be here at CPAC. This is my first time being here.

02:43:45.000 Just had a chance to speak with Matt and Mercedes, incredible people.

02:43:49.000 It's incredible to be around you, especially the fact that the person you wanted to win won in 2024, which is a very big deal.

02:44:00.000 I got a question for you.

02:44:02.000 Can you think about the two things tyrants fear?

02:44:07.000 Let me ask the question one more time.

02:44:09.000 What would you say are the two things tyrants running a country fear?

02:44:14.000 What are the two things?

02:44:18.000 First thing they fear is you and I having guns to protect ourselves.

02:44:25.000 The second thing they fear is you and I having a megaphone to express ourselves.

02:44:32.000 Now I want you to think about this.

02:44:34.000 In the last three weeks, I've interviewed two different people.

02:44:38.000 One of the ones I had on the podcast three weeks ago, he flew in the entire time he was nervous.

02:44:43.000 He was a former founder.

02:44:46.000 of the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

02:44:52.000 He started the IRGC with Khomeini in 1979. Three months after I was born, I was living in Iran, and I brought him on the podcast.

02:45:02.000 For many years we've been wanting to have this man to come on the podcast, but obviously he doesn't want to come because directly and indirectly millions of people died because of this man.

02:45:11.000 If you go on Google, you type in founder of IRGC, you'll see his name and Khomeini's name.

02:45:16.000 I bring him on.

02:45:17.000 It's a little bit uncomfortable.

02:45:19.000 I said, so let me ask you a question.

02:45:20.000 When you guys took over the revolution, the Shah is gone. 0.96

02:45:25.000 That's the last time the Middle East was at peace. 0.99

02:45:27.000 No issues.

02:45:29.000 Iran gets along with Israel. 0.79

02:45:31.000 No wars.

02:45:33.000 Things are good.

02:45:34.000 Then you come over.

02:45:35.000 You take over Iran. 0.59

02:45:37.000 Khomeini flies in.

02:45:39.000 You fly in.

02:45:40.000 What is the first thing you guys did?

02:45:42.000 He says, our number one mission was to get all the guns Out of people's hands.

02:45:47.000 And I said, tell me why?

02:45:49.000 He says, because we wanted to be safe.

02:45:51.000 I said, safe from what?

02:45:53.000 Well, we had to be careful because there was a lot of criminals who had a lot of guns.

02:45:58.000 I said, citizens having guns are criminals.

02:46:00.000 They're trying to protect themselves.

02:46:02.000 So again, what do tyrants fear?

02:46:04.000 First thing is what?

02:46:06.000 Your guns.

02:46:07.000 Because you can protect yourself.

02:46:10.000 Two days ago, I got back from Brazil.

02:46:13.000 We're flying out to Brazil to do a three-hour interview with former President Jair Bolsonaro.

02:46:17.000 How many of you guys love President Bolsonaro?

02:46:22.000 So we're in Brazil.

02:46:24.000 While we're about to go, they are briefing us on what to be prepared for before we go to Brazil.

02:46:29.000 They say, number one, have an international lawyer ready in case something happens.

02:46:34.000 Number two, make sure you have an armored truck.

02:46:38.000 Number three, come with a good delegation.

02:46:39.000 We went with nine of us.

02:46:41.000 And then we'll be escorting you all over the place.

02:46:43.000 So we go and we experience everything, and then eventually the president comes.

02:46:46.000 And the president sits there, and we start conducting the interview.

02:46:50.000 One of the most emotional interviews I've ever done.

02:46:53.000 This man is crying, tears dropping on the table.

02:46:55.000 I can't wait for the interview to come out this Wednesday.

02:46:59.000 And I hear him speaking.

02:47:01.000 About 15 minutes left for the interview to be done.

02:47:04.000 Somebody comes in and is whispering in his ear, whispering in his ear.

02:47:08.000 Boom.

02:47:09.000 He swipes the hand.

02:47:10.000 Interview ends, doing all the stuff that he's doing.

02:47:14.000 He gets out.

02:47:15.000 One hour later, alert on the phone.

02:47:20.000 Jair Bolsonaro has been charged and is facing 38 years in prison.

02:47:26.000 For what?

02:47:28.000 There's a judge there in Brazil.

02:47:31.000 His name is Alexandre de Moraes.

02:47:33.000 Anybody knows who he is?

02:47:34.000 Okay.

02:47:36.000 If there is a picture, For someone that looks like a tyrant, it is Alexandre de Mraz. 0.71

02:47:44.000 This man is a tyrant at the highest level.

02:47:47.000 And he is the second man, the second point that tyrants fear is freedom of speech.

02:47:52.000 I'm talking to the former president.

02:47:54.000 He's not comfortable talking about certain things, but he let everything loose.

02:47:59.000 He knows you can't talk.

02:48:00.000 They don't want you to talk over there.

02:48:02.000 So you got guns, freedom of speech, and in the world, we have 195 countries, of which 193. Have constitutions.

02:48:12.000 Of the 193 that have constitutions, only one country gives you full-on freedom of speech with nothing about hate speech and Second Amendment.

02:48:20.000 We're the only ones here that we have in America.

02:48:23.000 Now keep this in mind.

02:48:25.000 Sometimes when we sit there, we hear about, you know, next year's going to be United States birthday for 250 years.

02:48:31.000 It's going to be amazing.

02:48:32.000 We are one of the youngest countries in the world.

02:48:34.000 It's awesome.

02:48:36.000 Well, think about the oldest countries in the world.

02:48:38.000 Iran.

02:48:38.000 Roughly 3300 BC. Egypt, 3100 BC. You got Assyria, you got Armenia, you got China, you got all these countries, right?

02:48:47.000 Oldest.

02:48:48.000 We are one of the youngest.

02:48:49.000 But watch this here.

02:48:50.000 Does anybody know what country has the oldest constitution in the world?

02:48:55.000 What country has the oldest constitution in the world, including UK? We, the people, have the oldest constitution in the world.

02:49:05.000 So now watch this.

02:49:07.000 Some of you are clapping.

02:49:08.000 You're like, I don't know what point he's trying to make here.

02:49:10.000 I don't know where you're going with this.

02:49:11.000 Let me give you some numbers here.

02:49:13.000 Dominican Republic has changed their constitution 32 times.

02:49:16.000 Venezuela, 26 times.

02:49:17.000 Haiti, 24. Ecuador, 20. Brazil's changed it seven times in the last hundred years.

02:49:24.000 While I'm there, in Brazil...

02:49:28.000 We're going to the airport.

02:49:30.000 Our flight's at 4.30.

02:49:31.000 We get there at 2 o'clock, waiting.

02:49:32.000 Our flight gets canceled.

02:49:33.000 We have to redirect our flight.

02:49:35.000 We go to Peru.

02:49:36.000 And then from Peru, we fly out to Miami.

02:49:38.000 And I'll never forget when we landed in Miami.

02:49:40.000 It reminded me of back in July 15th of 89, when we're escaping Iran on a Lufthansa flight.

02:49:48.000 And while we're going, everybody's waiting for the one magical word from the flight attendant.

02:49:54.000 Anybody knows what it is?

02:49:56.000 It's very simple.

02:49:57.000 You can officially order alcohol.

02:50:01.000 We've crossed the border.

02:50:03.000 And we're like, we're free!

02:50:04.000 This is amazing!

02:50:06.000 We are officially out of Iran, right?

02:50:09.000 So we land in Miami, and I'm like, oh my god, this kind of takes me back to that moment when we left, you know, Iran and experiencing what freedom's like.

02:50:16.000 Then we get down here, and I'm sitting, and I'm talking to all these different senators and congressmen in Brazil, and here's a number I noticed.

02:50:23.000 I want to kind of take it back, because it's very important for us to be thinking about.

02:50:26.000 In Brazil, they have 11 Supreme Court justices, of which only two are conservative.

02:50:32.000 In Brazil, they have 81 senators, of which only 22 are conservatives.

02:50:38.000 In Brazil, they have 513 congressmen and women, of which only 130 are conservatives.

02:50:45.000 Let me just kind of take back a little bit and talk to you guys about maybe possibly the greatest accomplishment any president's ever done.

02:50:53.000 If...

02:50:53.000 The Supreme Court Justice was the other way around 6-3.

02:50:57.000 And when they said, Colorado wants to remove the president off the ballot, and they would have succeeded, Kamala Harris would have been your president today. 0.94

02:51:09.000 I understand.

02:51:10.000 I'm with you.

02:51:11.000 But I want you to think about why this is so important.

02:51:13.000 For 25 years of my life, I was an atheist.

02:51:17.000 When you live in Iran, my mother's Armenian, her last name's Boghossian, my dad's Assyrian.

02:51:23.000 But David, I'm living in Iran.

02:51:25.000 We're a Christian family, trying to make it work.

02:51:27.000 We're going to school.

02:51:27.000 You're going to church, kind of keep it quiet.

02:51:30.000 And you dream about one day coming here.

02:51:32.000 You're like, oh my God, I can't wait to one day come to America.

02:51:34.000 It's going to be such a great deal to come to America.

02:51:37.000 I'm sitting there kind of thinking to myself about all this stuff with Iran. 1.00

02:51:40.000 And hey, the Congress, the Senate, all this stuff.

02:51:43.000 You bring it to today.

02:51:45.000 This man flips three Supreme Court justices.

02:51:49.000 He doesn't do that.

02:51:50.000 Kamala gets in.

02:51:51.000 They would have done everything in their power they could have to prevent the president from speaking.

02:51:57.000 They tried to silence him.

02:51:58.000 They took him to all the social media sites.

02:52:00.000 There's a lot of people that want to be friends with him today.

02:52:02.000 Same people that silenced him.

02:52:03.000 They said he can't use social media.

02:52:05.000 Got off.

02:52:06.000 Then you go from there, you dream about coming to America, and you sit there, you think about it.

02:52:10.000 You say, oh my God, I cannot even believe the fact that I'm living in a country like this where you and I... As an atheist, you're like, maybe God this.

02:52:18.000 I don't know about this.

02:52:19.000 People are dying in Iran.

02:52:20.000 I'm in a refugee camp in Germany for a year and a half.

02:52:22.000 You come to the States. 0.96

02:52:23.000 I'm a regular guy going to school.

02:52:25.000 Then all of a sudden, I join the army.

02:52:26.000 I go to the 101st Airborne Division Air Assault.

02:52:29.000 I'm in the Army.

02:52:30.000 I'm in my uniform, quite honestly.

02:52:31.000 I joined at first for GI Bill, and I'm standing there waiting.

02:52:35.000 We're at a Labor Day, a Memorial Day, and I see one of my chief warrant officers on this side in tears.

02:52:40.000 I see another colonel over here in tears.

02:52:42.000 I see a Sergeant First Class on this side in tears.

02:52:44.000 I'm like, why are these guys crying?

02:52:46.000 Why are they crying?

02:52:47.000 And if we go into the auditorium, they say, there's a movie coming out about your unit.

02:52:50.000 You guys are going to get a chance to watch it before the world sees it.

02:52:53.000 What's the movie?

02:52:54.000 Saving Private Ryan.

02:52:55.000 I watched this movie at the end.

02:52:57.000 I'm like...

02:52:57.000 I am so proud to be an American.

02:52:59.000 I am so proud to be part of the 101st Airborne Division.

02:53:02.000 I am so proud to be living here.

02:53:04.000 So now watch.

02:53:06.000 While I'm in the Army, while I'm in the Army, because of my PT score, I was able to go hang out at this one camp for two days where we could play pool, jump in a lake, and all this stuff.

02:53:16.000 This man hands me a Bible.

02:53:17.000 I'm like, sir, I'm the wrong guy to give you a Bible.

02:53:19.000 He says, my parents gifted me this Bible December 24th of 1974. I think you need it more than I do.

02:53:24.000 I said, I'm telling you, it's not.

02:53:26.000 You don't want to give it to me.

02:53:27.000 I'm the wrong guy.

02:53:28.000 He gives it to me.

02:53:29.000 I start praying three times a day.

02:53:31.000 Long story short, 25 years old, life changes, God's in my life, everything from there has been revolutionary.

02:53:41.000 It doesn't even make sense to me.

02:53:42.000 It's a miracle.

02:53:43.000 Here's what it made me think about.

02:53:45.000 Here's what it made me think about.

02:53:47.000 How many of you remember the last time you had one of those nights where you pray for an hour and you're on your knees and nobody sees you?

02:53:53.000 Who knows what I'm talking about?

02:53:55.000 Anybody who's ever done that before?

02:53:56.000 By the way, for some of you that are devout Christians, maybe it's a normal Tuesday for you, but for those of you guys that just kind of go to church once in a while, you've only done that three or four or five times in your life.

02:54:06.000 Does anybody relate?

02:54:08.000 Well, you don't do that often.

02:54:10.000 What were you praying about in June of 2024?

02:54:14.000 What were you praying about when you're sitting there?

02:54:17.000 What were we thinking about?

02:54:19.000 What was going on?

02:54:21.000 What were the issues?

02:54:23.000 Everything we're watching, what's going to be taking place?

02:54:27.000 And you mean to tell me the president is a one look away from this being assassinated, and he lives.

02:54:34.000 And all these miracles happen.

02:54:36.000 President Obama in eight years flips one seat.

02:54:39.000 Trump flips three seats in one term.

02:54:41.000 You don't think God's hands on America again?

02:54:45.000 By the way, the reason why I'm sharing this with you is sometimes when we start winning and we start making money, And we start driving the nice cars, and our candidate wins, and we're like, yay, it's great, and it's awesome.

02:55:00.000 Our paranoia goes away.

02:55:02.000 Let me just prepare you for something.

02:55:04.000 We gotta stay paranoid.

02:55:06.000 We gotta stay optimistic.

02:55:08.000 They're plotting their moves behind closed doors while you and I are here at this event.

02:55:12.000 We gotta keep recruiting the next Bobby Kennedys, the next Tulsi Gabbards, the next Elon Musk.

02:55:18.000 The next Joe Rogans, the next anybody.

02:55:20.000 We gotta recruit them over with common sense, with values, with the way we treat them.

02:55:25.000 And if we do that, the future of America will look bright like never before.

02:55:32.000 Thank you, everybody.

02:55:33.000 Appreciate you.

02:55:36.000 Thank you.

02:55:59.000 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome U.S. Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum. Doug Burgum.

02:56:25.000 Good afternoon, CPAC! So great to be with you.

02:56:32.000 We are gathered here today at a historic time, and in a few hours you're going to have an opportunity to hear from a very historic president.

02:56:43.000 Here's a name you probably haven't heard of.

02:56:45.000 Buddy Melgus, Olympic gold medal sailor from Zenda, Wisconsin.

02:56:50.000 Grew up on a small teeny little lake in Wisconsin.

02:56:53.000 How did a kid from a small little lake in Wisconsin go on to become an Olympic sailor?

02:56:58.000 He became an Olympic gold medal sailor because he understood you never have to recover from a great start.

02:57:04.000 So I've got a few questions for you.

02:57:07.000 In our entire U.S. history, which president has been off to the greatest start in history?

02:57:17.000 Yes, okay, I can ask that a different way.

02:57:20.000 Which president in American history has had the most impact in their first 33 days?

02:57:29.000 Trump!

02:57:29.000 And, of course, we know the answer to this one.

02:57:31.000 Which president right now, every hour, every day, is making America great again?

02:57:39.000 There you go.

02:57:40.000 I want to say thank you all for being here.

02:57:42.000 This is such an important group.

02:57:44.000 You are the difference makers.

02:57:47.000 CPAC was the group that believed in President Trump when others didn't.

02:57:50.000 You stayed with him.

02:57:51.000 You worked so hard for all these years.

02:57:54.000 And you were working because you supported President Trump, but you were working because you cared deeply about America.

02:58:00.000 You wanted America to be better.

02:58:02.000 You knew that America could reach its full potential.

02:58:05.000 And now that is happening every single day, and it started here with you.

02:58:09.000 Thank you, CPAC, for everything that you've done.

02:58:17.000 Yes, President Trump has got a...

02:58:19.000 Very clear and a very powerful vision on ways to make America great again.

02:58:25.000 And at the center of that is energy dominance.

02:58:28.000 He knows that energy dominance, when the US is energy dominance, it's going to bring down inflation because energy is a component of every single product that we buy, every piece of food you eat, every vehicle you drive.

02:58:40.000 He also knows that when we have energy to sell to our friends and allies, it's going to end our trade deficits.

02:58:47.000 He knows it's going to create great American jobs.

02:58:50.000 And he also knows that when we have energy to sell to our allies, it's going to end the wars abroad.

02:58:57.000 And he is someone who wants to stop the killing.

02:59:00.000 He wants to end wars.

02:59:02.000 And President Trump, I believe, for that work, is going to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

02:59:07.000 And this is a group that can help that happen for him.

02:59:11.000 Yes, President Trump knows better than anyone that energy dominance is the foundation for American prosperity, for affordability, and world peace.

02:59:20.000 The Biden administration, wow, what a mess that we've inherited.

02:59:25.000 The Biden administration, at the core of everything they're doing, were beholden to a group of climate extremists.

02:59:31.000 And when those climate extremists got the Biden administration to declare war on U.S. energy...

02:59:38.000 And when they declared war on U.S. energy, it didn't reduce demand.

02:59:42.000 It just shifted the supply to our adversaries across the world, to places like Iran. 0.50

02:59:47.000 Iran, who sold hundreds of billions of dollars of energy through ghost ships and front companies to fund 24 terror groups against us. 0.86

02:59:58.000 But President Trump wants that to stop.

03:00:01.000 And he's got full maximum pressure against Iran.

03:00:05.000 And he'll do what he did in his first term, which is financially he'll bring that country, or the Ayatollahs, not the country, but the Ayatollahs to their knees. 0.70

03:00:13.000 But back home, the climate extremists that wanted to shut down U.S. energy, what did they do to Americans?

03:00:20.000 They raised the price of everything.

03:00:22.000 Electricity prices, 30 percent higher under the Biden administration.

03:00:26.000 Some of you, if you live in the Northeast, you're going to be staring at 15 to 17 to 20 percent increases again this summer.

03:00:32.000 This is all what we've inherited.

03:00:34.000 And when we have high energy costs, that hurts our economy and we de-industrialize.

03:00:39.000 And that's why President Trump on day one declared a national energy emergency.

03:00:44.000 It wasn't just about price at the pump.

03:00:47.000 He understood the mess that Biden left us, and that's why he declared that energy emergency.

03:00:52.000 And part of that solution, last Friday, he created the National Energy Dominance Council.

03:00:59.000 He asked me to chair it.

03:01:00.000 He asked Chris Wright to be the vice chair.

03:01:04.000 And with that, with the work that we're going to be doing, it covers everything.

03:01:08.000 It covers electricity.

03:01:09.000 It covers oil and gas.

03:01:11.000 It covers biofuels.

03:01:12.000 It covers export.

03:01:13.000 It covers exploration.

03:01:14.000 All the things that we need to do to have our country become an energy powerhouse.

03:01:19.000 But let's just talk a little bit about one of the things that were left, and that's the energy emergency, and that is our electrical grid in this country is absolutely in danger.

03:01:28.000 The climate extremists worshipped an ideology that defied physics, economics, and common sense.

03:01:34.000 They believed that that was the existential threat.

03:01:37.000 I will tell you that there's two existential threats that this administration believes.

03:01:41.000 And one existential threat was Iran getting a nuclear weapon.

03:01:45.000 That would change the world.

03:01:46.000 And this administration, working with our allies, is going to make sure that doesn't happen.

03:01:51.000 And the second thing is, the second existential threat is losing the artificial intelligence arms race.

03:01:58.000 To China.

03:02:00.000 This country has shut down more electricity than China has opened in the last 12 months.

03:02:06.000 And we need electricity, because electricity drives AI data centers, and AI data centers manufacture intelligence.

03:02:14.000 And when we manufacture intelligence, it's going to change every job, every company, every industry.

03:02:19.000 It's going to make the federal government more productive.

03:02:21.000 But no, what did the Biden administration do?

03:02:24.000 They focused on highly subsidized, unreliable, unaffordable, and weather-dependent sources of energy.

03:02:30.000 We all know, you don't have to have a PhD to know that the sun doesn't shine 24 hours a day and the wind doesn't blow 365 days a year.

03:02:40.000 And yet, they were trying, the Biden administration was trying to convince Americans that we could run a full-time society on part-time, intermittent, and expensive power.

03:02:50.000 They pushed a Green New Deal that was a lot more like a Green New Steel because it was stealing your taxpayer dollars, stealing your taxpayer dollars at the same time, raising the price of electricity for all of you, raising the price of food in this country, and jeopardizing our grid.

03:03:08.000 We have today, for the first time, I was in tech for 30 years before I ever ran for office.

03:03:13.000 We never used more than 1% of the nation's electricity in the whole technology sector.

03:03:19.000 But now with AI coming, the demand is increasing, and that's real demand with real value, not artificial demand where we say we're going to stop driving internal combustion vehicles in favor of an EV. We're going to subsidize those EVs at 15 times anything we've ever done before, and then we're going to buy our batteries from China, who control 85% of the rare earth minerals.

03:03:42.000 The whole plan was crazy.

03:03:44.000 But what do we have right now under President Trump?

03:03:46.000 President Trump knows that we weren't in some kind of mythical energy transition.

03:03:50.000 He knows that we've got to have energy addition.

03:03:53.000 He also knows, because if anybody has studied Energy 101, you'd know that any, quote, transition would fail, because only one time in all of human history, only one time in human history have humans ever transitioned off a source of energy.

03:04:09.000 It was in the 1880s.

03:04:11.000 Anybody know?

03:04:12.000 Anybody know what that was in the 1800s when we transitioned off energy?

03:04:17.000 Whale oil!

03:04:18.000 I heard somebody knew the answer.

03:04:20.000 Yes, we transitioned off of whale oil.

03:04:22.000 Whale oil became very popular because it was cleaner, but then along comes oil.

03:04:28.000 And oil we could refine into kerosene, and kerosene was better than whale oil.

03:04:31.000 And so who knew, but you're hearing it here at CPAC, that it was over 150 years ago, fossil fuels saved the whales.

03:04:38.000 And I think we've got some t-shirt merch experts here in this room, and I just think that could make a great slogan on a t-shirt, by the way.

03:04:52.000 Thank you.

03:04:53.000 But President Trump's got a plan for energy dominance that's going to help drive us forward.

03:04:59.000 All of you know that we've got $36.5 trillion of debt because we hear it over and over again.

03:05:05.000 But has anybody ever come on this stage and told you how much America's assets are?

03:05:11.000 No, because nobody knows what they are.

03:05:13.000 And the Biden administration is playing hide the ball.

03:05:16.000 But in the Trump administration, we're going to build that balance sheet.

03:05:19.000 And we have trillions and trillions of dollars worth of natural resources.

03:05:24.000 And we're going to make sure that we understand that our assets far exceed the debt that we have.

03:05:30.000 But before Joe Biden left office, one of the things that he did was he took 625 million acres of offshore potential, trillions of dollars of revenue potential.

03:05:42.000 For you, your kids, and your grandkids, and with a stroke of a pen, said, we're never going to develop that.

03:05:48.000 Never.

03:05:48.000 It's off the table.

03:05:50.000 You can boo for that if you want to.

03:05:54.000 That's literally one-third of the lower 48 here.

03:05:58.000 He was trying to rob us of that.

03:06:01.000 But he's robbing us of those revenues and also of the American dream.

03:06:05.000 But President Trump got into office with an executive order.

03:06:08.000 He reversed that ban.

03:06:11.000 That 625 million acres is back on our balance sheet, including some of those acres are where?

03:06:18.000 They're in the Gulf of America.

03:06:24.000 One of the other falsehoods is somehow that those climate extremists cared more about the environment than any of us in this room.

03:06:31.000 And I know how deeply this group cares, and I know the people in my home state, the farmers and ranchers, fourth and fifth generation.

03:06:39.000 They live on the land, they care about the soil health, they care about the water, they care about the air, and that's why North Dakota, we had some of the cleanest air and water in the country, and we were an energy powerhouse.

03:06:49.000 We can do both of these things in our country.

03:06:52.000 Because when you shut down U.S. energy and you push that supply overseas, you push it to places that use child labor, that don't do reclamation.

03:07:00.000 They don't have any kind of regulatory environment like we have.

03:07:04.000 And so it's cleaner.

03:07:06.000 If you care about the environment, you want every drop of energy, every electron to be produced in the United States.

03:07:11.000 That's the way to save the planet.

03:07:15.000 And the Biden administration, they sanctioned Alaska.

03:07:22.000 Sixty-eight times with executive orders.

03:07:25.000 Sixty-eight times Joe Biden issued orders that tried to shut down energy development in Alaska.

03:07:31.000 They sanctioned Alaska more than they did Iran, if you can believe it.

03:07:36.000 But those days are over.

03:07:37.000 One of the other executive orders that President Trump signed is one not just unleashing American energy, but unleashing Alaska's potential.

03:07:44.000 And when we do that, we have an opportunity to sell energy to Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, our allies in the Pacific.

03:07:52.000 Who we need more than ever because of the growing threat of China. 0.98

03:07:56.000 So let me ask you, as we close out here today, when we talk about being energy dominant, we know that one thing that President likes to say, and I'm sure you'll hear it to say, which he wants us to drill, baby, drill, and we're going to do that.

03:08:13.000 But the U.S. Geologic Survey, which is part of Interior, we've got a job.

03:08:17.000 To actually go out and map those resources to find out how many trillions or hundreds of trillions of dollars of assets belong to all of you, the public.

03:08:25.000 So we're going to map baby map, and then we're also going to mine baby mine.

03:08:30.000 We're going to mine baby mine because we've got to get critical minerals developed back in our country.

03:08:35.000 We can't be dependent.

03:08:36.000 We're buying uranium from Russia for our nuclear plants.

03:08:40.000 We have to be able to have those supply chains be right here, so we're going to do all of that, and when we do all of that, we're going to be able to build baby build.

03:08:49.000 President Trump is the greatest economic developer that's ever existed.

03:08:53.000 Nobody sells America better than he does.

03:08:56.000 Chris Wright, my partner in this from the Department of Energy, he and I were asked by President Trump to join him when he was meeting with the Prime Minister of India and the Prime Minister of Japan.

03:09:07.000 In those meetings, President Trump said to those leaders, you've got a deficit, a trade deficit with our country.

03:09:12.000 We think you should solve that.

03:09:14.000 What would you like to buy from us?

03:09:16.000 Perhaps some energy?

03:09:19.000 30 years ago, he wrote the international bestseller, The Art of the Deal, President Trump did.

03:09:24.000 I've seen him in action.

03:09:26.000 Right now, every day, he's writing the sequel to that of The Art of the Deal in real time.

03:09:33.000 Yes, he is, but he's dealing with the world leaders.

03:09:35.000 They're coming to him, and they want to buy American, and we want to build American, and we know that President Trump is not only making America strong again, he's going to make America affordable again.

03:09:46.000 He's helping with your help.

03:09:48.000 He's fighting for the agenda, and you know what he's going to do?

03:09:51.000 He's going to make America great again.

03:09:55.000 Thank you, CPAC. I switched.

03:10:20.000 I switched.

03:10:21.000 I switched.

03:10:22.000 I made the switch to Newsmax.

03:10:24.000 We start this morning in Washington where all eyes are on the White House.

03:10:27.000 I switched to Newsmax.

03:10:29.000 Newsmax.

03:10:30.000 Newsmax.

03:10:31.000 Have you made the switch?

03:10:32.000 You bet I did.

03:10:33.000 My whole family switched.

03:10:34.000 Everyone is making the switch.

03:10:36.000 I did.

03:10:37.000 I did.

03:10:38.000 I switched and it made all the difference.

03:10:40.000 It made all the difference.

03:10:42.000 Have you made the switch?

03:10:43.000 You should.

03:10:44.000 Millions are switching to Newsmax.

03:10:46.000 You should too.

03:10:47.000 America is under attack.

03:10:56.000 Our families are being crushed under the politics of a radical agenda.

03:11:07.000 This is our battle.

03:11:30.000 Like, Moms for America is going at the heart of the issue. 1.00

03:11:35.000 I want to go on the record and say, I'm for moms, I'm for America, and I'm especially for Moms for America.

03:11:42.000 But I am honored to join Moms for America today as we speak out against the horrific mandates.

03:11:48.000 With a national network of over a half a million mothers, Moms for America is one of the fastest growing movements of women in the country.

03:14:52.000 Every institution today is under attack.

03:15:15.000 The home, the church, the government.

03:15:19.000 And many people are asking, what is the truth?

03:15:22.000 Jesus Christ claimed to be ultimate truth.

03:15:26.000 Are you willing to face the truth?

03:15:28.000 Do you think the MKUltra project ever actually ended?

03:15:31.000 The Central Intelligence Agency is actively involved in mind manipulation.

03:15:35.000 We all answer to one God and one Savior.

03:16:19.000 Patriots for Europe Foundation.

03:16:22.000 Ladies and gentlemen, this is Maha Unchained.

03:16:26.000 Please welcome physician Dr. Robert Malone and Epoch Times Senior Editor, Yanya Kellek.

03:16:52.000 Well, Dr. Robert Malone, you know, one of the most...

03:16:57.000 Yeah, everybody!

03:16:59.000 Bring it up for Dr. Robert Malone!

03:17:06.000 Probably one of the best-known contrarian voices during the COVID pandemic arguing for rational policy during the pandemic.

03:17:15.000 But I know him best.

03:17:18.000 As a rancher of horses and emus.

03:17:22.000 And welcome, my friend, Jan Jekielek.

03:17:26.000 You may remember that I spoke about Jan's leadership and the Epoch Times at CPAC three years ago.

03:17:32.000 And I think without CPAC, we might, I mean, without Epoch Times, we might not be where we are right now.

03:17:39.000 It's been my pleasure to build a friendship with Jan and to participate in his fantastic series, American Thought Leaders.

03:17:48.000 And our little fun series of clips that we called Fallout.

03:17:53.000 That's right.

03:17:55.000 So I'm wearing a bow tie today, not my usual attire, in honor of Dr. Peter Hotez.

03:18:03.000 You'll recall that Peter Hotez, last December, darkly muttered about the fact that as soon as President Trump was in office, there was going to be a series of virus outbreaks.

03:18:18.000 of threatening viral events that were going to cause him a lot of grief and to focus on responding to those, but instead what we have is two amazing things that happened on the same day.

03:18:35.000 Well, so who here noticed that the new HHS secretary is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.?

03:18:48.000 Two things happened that day.

03:18:50.000 First, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was sworn in.

03:18:53.000 And second, there was an executive order signed by President Trump that established a commission to look at child chronic disease.

03:19:05.000 A one-two punch that, in our view, is kind of revolutionizing the future of health.

03:19:12.000 Robert.

03:19:12.000 I agree.

03:19:14.000 So what is this thing?

03:19:17.000 Maha.

03:19:18.000 Make America healthy again.

03:19:20.000 What does that really mean?

03:19:21.000 Those of us that have kind of been in the sausage making process have a pretty good sense, but let's go to what President Trump has defined as Maha in this amazing executive order.

03:19:34.000 And what he's laid out, the mission he's laid out for my friend, your friend too, Bobby Kennedy.

03:19:41.000 This amazing new Secretary of HHS that, I mean, can you believe this?

03:19:45.000 He's both a bodybuilder and a biohacker.

03:19:49.000 That's what we have as our Secretary. 0.98

03:19:51.000 And so, what is Maha?

03:19:55.000 A key factor in this is a refocusing of the entire government health enterprise from a focus on disease treatment to a focus on health promotion.

03:20:07.000 And I really recommend that all of you take a moment to read President Trump's executive order creating the Maha Commission, which is across government and even includes Treasury.

03:20:19.000 It's an amazing document in which he talks about the crisis of health in America, the crisis of chronic disease in America, but in particular it zeroes in on Bobby Kennedy's sweet spot.

03:20:35.000 Protecting the health of children in America.

03:20:37.000 It talks about child's health.

03:20:40.000 It talks about the epidemic we have now of all kinds of chronic diseases, including autism in our children.

03:20:49.000 And it talks about the over-medication with Ritalin and all these other drugs.

03:20:55.000 We're basically drugging our children into obedience and oblivion using these agents.

03:21:02.000 Getting them to be complacent in the schools so they don't cause trouble.

03:21:06.000 Making it easier to control them.

03:21:09.000 That has got to stop.

03:21:10.000 And that is the mission of the Make America Healthy Again movement.

03:21:16.000 Within 12 to 18 months, this is the President's mandate.

03:21:20.000 Within 12 to 18 months, Bobby Kennedy has got to show measurable improvements in public health for American citizens.

03:21:28.000 Now that is a tall order.

03:21:34.000 Frankly, he's got to let loose the dogs of war.

03:21:36.000 He's got to let loose the whole federal bureaucracy, transform it, and take this new leadership team that he's created under Donald Trump's direction and completely radicalize, radically transform CDC, FDA, NIH. Work with his partners at USDA to enable the health of Americans, and particularly the health of Americans' children.

03:22:05.000 But Bobby Kennedy, okay, Bobby Kennedy did not work alone, okay?

03:22:11.000 And Maha was actually something that existed in America already, a kind of subculture, one that I didn't even know very much about, that I discovered on American thought leaders, you know, throughout COVID. All these people that had been hit by reality in some way.

03:22:30.000 Maybe they had a child that had been vaccine injured.

03:22:32.000 Maybe they were poisoned by something.

03:22:35.000 And millions and millions of Americans basically were not...

03:22:39.000 Many of us were just simply not aware that there was this growing movement of people that were looking at root causes of health.

03:22:47.000 And Bobby was kind of a central figure in this.

03:22:49.000 So him coming in as the HHS secretary, I mean, this is the...

03:22:54.000 In terms of budget, the largest of the departments, right?

03:22:59.000 Yes, except for defense.

03:23:02.000 China went through a Maha movement itself at one point in time.

03:23:07.000 Isn't that right?

03:23:07.000 And what happened?

03:23:08.000 A hundred percent.

03:23:09.000 And so this is actually what dawned on us as we were preparing for this session.

03:23:14.000 Back in the 90s in China, the health system had actually collapsed a little bit like what's been happening here.

03:23:21.000 And these traditional methods called Qigong, or kind of a Chinese yoga, became incredibly popular in China.

03:23:29.000 The most popular was Falun Gong.

03:23:31.000 You'll know that the founders of Epoch Times were Falun Gong practitioners.

03:23:35.000 70 to 100 million people were getting healthy.

03:23:40.000 They were getting awards for getting healthy.

03:23:42.000 And what did the regime do in 1999?

03:23:45.000 They decided to crush this health and spiritual movement.

03:23:51.000 So, I mean, this is something that totalitarians do.

03:23:54.000 This is the other part that I realized.

03:23:55.000 Totalitarians do not like healthy people, right?

03:23:59.000 And it's a kind of a mindset.

03:24:00.000 It's a kind of a mindset.

03:24:02.000 So, here we are.

03:24:04.000 So, China now is not only crushing its own health promotion movement, but they're promoting bad health in the United States. 0.61

03:24:14.000 Talk to us about fentanyl.

03:24:16.000 Well, so, okay, how many of you noticed that we have a new FBI director?

03:24:23.000 Kash Patel, of course.

03:24:27.000 One of the things that Cash kept talking about as he was going through his nomination hearings, he said, 100,000 Americans a year are dying of CCP fentanyl, and that is going to be one of the priorities of the FBI. So that is the Make America Unhealthy Again movement.

03:24:48.000 But we also have to have our own kind of individual agency here.

03:24:53.000 We can't let cash have to deal with this entire problem or our foreign policy establishment deal with the entirety of that.

03:25:00.000 So if we have enough time, we'll talk a little bit about things that can be done about fentanyl.

03:25:04.000 I think it's one of the clear things that HHS can do together in partnership with the other agencies, and particularly the FBI and CASH, to help make America healthy again with measurable responses within 12 to 18 months.

03:25:19.000 But let's talk for a moment about what is public health.

03:25:23.000 We all hear about public health.

03:25:29.000 Today's public health is not about medicine.

03:25:33.000 It's not about the physician-patient relationship.

03:25:38.000 It's not about empowering patients to take control of their own health, which is what we need to do in the day of Maha. 0.93

03:25:47.000 What we don't need is top-down management of what you are able to do, what your doctor tells you to do based on the government's mandates and your insurance company's profit.

03:26:02.000 We have to get back to decentralized health under the control of you, the patient.

03:26:09.000 But what do we have right now in public health?

03:26:12.000 Public health is basically...

03:26:15.000 Grounded in utilitarianism.

03:26:18.000 It is functionally socialism.

03:26:21.000 It is the logic of the greatest good for the greatest number.

03:26:25.000 That is absolutely the centerpiece of modern public health and it's based on big data.

03:26:32.000 It's based on big data analysis of what on average is best for you.

03:26:38.000 And then a top-down approach to cause you to comply.

03:26:43.000 With what the numbers say under close analysis is best for you.

03:26:49.000 And as a consequence, public health has destroyed the practice of medicine.

03:26:54.000 This is why your docs have no options.

03:26:57.000 They have to treat you based on protocol because that's what public health is saying they have to do.

03:27:04.000 Public health is taking over medicine.

03:27:07.000 And as I say, it is focused on outcomes.

03:27:12.000 Optimizing outcomes, the best outcomes for all of us, what it needs to do is focus on opportunity.

03:27:21.000 What we need to do is enable you to have the opportunity to choose whether or not to optimize your own health and have the information to do it, but what we don't need is public health telling us that we can't eat McDonald's hamburgers and drink Coca-Cola.

03:27:40.000 What we need is the information so that you can make an informed decision about what you eat and what you do to manage your health, not to tell you and micromanage you about what your choices have to be.

03:27:55.000 And the bottom line of this, and think about this, okay?

03:28:00.000 Inalienable individual rights.

03:28:03.000 One of the core things America is based on, a core element of freedom.

03:28:08.000 This approach, this CCP, Chinese Communist Party approach, what happened during COVID? They locked down.

03:28:15.000 They used the totalitarian method.

03:28:16.000 They used the collective rights method.

03:28:19.000 What's apparently going to be better for the greater good?

03:28:22.000 But what happens when you use that collective rights approach?

03:28:25.000 Every time, to paraphrase Stalin here, to make an omelette, you have to break a few eggs.

03:28:32.000 And it turns out to be a lot of eggs, unfortunately.

03:28:35.000 So we've got to get back to this approach of individual rights, individual agency, and, you know, the Hippocratic oath on the medical side.

03:28:43.000 So there's an insidious thing that's happened.

03:28:48.000 They've snuck some stuff in while Bobby was busy focused on confirmation.

03:28:54.000 They've snuck in a UN Agenda 2030 item called One Health.

03:29:02.000 The CDC surreptitiously agreed to the One Health policies of the World Economic Forum and the United Nations and the World Health Organization.

03:29:13.000 What is One Health?

03:29:14.000 Who's against One Health? 0.71

03:29:16.000 Of course, we all think that animals should be healthy and the environment should be healthy, just like the Secretary was talking about with U.S. policy.

03:29:25.000 But in One Health, your health is equivalent to the health of animals.

03:29:30.000 Your health is equivalent to the health of a lab rat.

03:29:35.000 And, you know, I had somebody post the other day, we put out an essay today about One Health and what it really means, and they said, hey, I'll be glad to sacrifice a lab rat if I can have a focus on my grandmother and improving her standard of living.

03:29:55.000 The health of animals and the health of the environment are considered equivalent to the health of humans and this has now been slipped in this policy that's right up there with the Green New Deal while the new administration was distracted.

03:30:12.000 Something that was in progress for two, three years under the Biden administration, they managed to sneak in.

03:30:18.000 They managed to sneak in the new director of pandemic preparedness, a veterinarian who is the associate dean of One Health at Texas A&M, before Bobby even had a chance to sit in the chair.

03:30:32.000 And this is what Bobby really needs your help with.

03:30:36.000 This is what Maha needs your help with.

03:30:38.000 He is going to be up against an entrenched bureaucracy that is going to fight him tooth and nail every step of the way.

03:30:46.000 And the only way that we're going to be able to get sustainable change is we have to have all of us, the citizens of the United States, saying, we support you.

03:30:58.000 We support a focus on health in Americans.

03:31:04.000 And we are not okay with this globalist agenda of One Health, and we are not okay with the bureaucracy sneaking stuff in behind his back.

03:31:17.000 Now, we only have a little bit of time left, but let's talk a little bit about bird flu.

03:31:23.000 Well, so how many have noticed egg prices have gone through the roof?

03:31:27.000 Okay, front page of the Epoch Times, okay, the national edition, you should check it out.

03:31:33.000 It's unbelievable, right?

03:31:34.000 But what is the reason?

03:31:36.000 You might think, looking at mainstream media headlines, that it's because bird flu has killed 55 million birds.

03:31:43.000 No, people have killed 55 million birds in an attempt to stop the bird flu.

03:31:50.000 But that's not necessarily the only way to do it.

03:31:53.000 So, bird flu has been around for years.

03:31:57.000 I think this is our fourth episode of fear.

03:32:01.000 A promoted fear about bird flu.

03:32:03.000 And it never materializes.

03:32:05.000 It never transfers into humans so far.

03:32:08.000 Let's hope that continues to be the case.

03:32:10.000 But now, even according to the CDC, bird flu is not a major risk for humans.

03:32:16.000 It doesn't transmit from human to human.

03:32:18.000 It's not putting people in the hospital and they're not dying at any kind of a rate.

03:32:23.000 Bird flu needs to be controlled.

03:32:27.000 But the policies of the USDA, which now have cost you $1.2 billion, and that's direct costs, for the USDA to compensate farmers that have had to kill their flocks.

03:32:41.000 And it's not working.

03:32:43.000 That is the old-school way to control outbreaks.

03:32:47.000 But bird flu is in all the birds.

03:32:50.000 It's in migratory waterfowl.

03:32:52.000 We cannot eradicate bird flu.

03:32:55.000 So we got to think of something different instead of this, you know, give a three-year-old a hammer and everything becomes a nail that is what USDA bureaucrats keep applying.

03:33:05.000 I argue that instead of vaccinating chickens with a zoetous mismatched leaky bird flu vaccine, heard anything like that before?

03:33:17.000 Say COVID? Okay, which will drive the evolution of more vaccine-resistant bird flu strains.

03:33:25.000 We need to rethink this whole strategy.

03:33:28.000 And what I advocate, and I can tell you, I hear rumor that this is being actively considered in the administration right now, and we may hear some announcements about this, is there's going to be a rethinking of how we approach this.

03:33:43.000 And personally, I like the idea that we let loose the chicken industry to breed flu-resistant chickens and turkeys and ducks rather than trying to jab them all with crummy vaccines or kill them all because they get infected.

03:34:01.000 That's just one example of what can happen if Maha is unchained.

03:34:08.000 And everyone, I think we've run out of time here.

03:34:11.000 The bottom line is, let's focus on root causes of health.

03:34:14.000 Keep that in your mind.

03:34:15.000 This is what Maha is all about.

03:34:18.000 And let's make America healthy again.

03:34:20.000 And thank you, everybody.

03:34:21.000 Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the CPAC Straw Poll.

03:34:50.000 Please welcome CPAC chairman, Matt Schlapp, and from McLaughlin& Associates, Jim McLaughlin.

03:34:59.000 This way I can follow.

03:35:01.000 They gave the chair.

03:35:08.000 Huh?

03:35:08.000 That's it.

03:35:09.000 All right, Jim, this is your big moment.

03:35:21.000 By the way, do you all know one of the great things?

03:35:25.000 Can we just start off by saying a warm round of applause to the fantastic competence of the Trump for President campaign.

03:35:36.000 Yeah, without a doubt.

03:35:37.000 Susie Wiles, Chris Lasavita, Michael Watley at the RNC. What a difference a campaign can make.

03:35:46.000 And Jim and John McLaughlin on the polling, thank you, Jim, for your great work.

03:35:50.000 And you know what?

03:35:51.000 We've been with President Trump from the very beginning.

03:35:54.000 Believe it or not, he talked about running back in 2011. And I can tell you, this campaign was head and shoulders better than anything we ever did in the past.

03:36:06.000 I can't tell you that Matt is exactly right.

03:36:09.000 Susie Wilds, Chris Lasavita, Chairman Watley, and I don't think I've ever complimented an RNC chairman.

03:36:15.000 Thank you.

03:36:45.000 Thank you.

03:37:15.000 No way.

03:37:16.000 All right.

03:37:16.000 It's so great to have you here.

03:37:18.000 Okay, so is this your first time at CPAC? This is not my first time at CPAC. In fact, last year when I was at CPAC, we were on the campaign trail with President Trump.

03:37:26.000 I was doing Media Row, and I was pregnant with my child.

03:37:29.000 I was wearing this big blazer, and now I have a seven-month-old baby, and we're at the White House.

03:37:33.000 So it's been a good year.

03:37:36.000 Well, for me, it's an honor to be...

03:37:38.000 With you and be able to interview you, I do feel you're kind of like my kid's sister.

03:37:43.000 And I do know that blondes have more fun because my younger sister is also blonde. 1.00

03:37:48.000 But, you know, I got to ask you, you know, we're 31 days into this administration, this historic Trump administration.

03:37:58.000 What's the president's mood?

03:38:01.000 Jubilant, excited, exhilarated, and defiant.

03:38:05.000 And the president is not backing down.

03:38:08.000 We've seen judges in courts acting like judicial activists.

03:38:12.000 We have Democrats who are hooting and hollering outside of empty federal office buildings because we want to simply cut fraud, waste, and abuse from our federal government.

03:38:22.000 And we are not going to be deterred.

03:38:24.000 The president will not be deterred.

03:38:25.000 He is going to continue moving forward, delivering on the promises he made.

03:38:30.000 And look at 30 days.

03:38:31.000 The golden age of America has begun, and we're just getting started.

03:38:37.000 Give an insight into, you know, when you walk into the Oval Office, President Trump is there, he presses his button to get his Diet Coke, which is one of the coolest things.

03:38:46.000 And then he sometimes will ask you, do you want one too?

03:38:50.000 And so, and you really don't say no.

03:38:53.000 Even if you don't like Diet Coke, guys, I'm sorry, you don't say no.

03:38:55.000 But, you know, when he comes to you and he says, Caroline, this is what we need to say.

03:39:01.000 I mean, give us an insight as to one of those instances that you can recall that you were like, wow, okay.

03:39:07.000 He's really in charge.

03:39:08.000 We've got to get this done.

03:39:09.000 Yeah.

03:39:10.000 I mean, every single day.

03:39:11.000 The president, we joke.

03:39:13.000 Every single day.

03:39:14.000 He's the president of the United States.

03:39:16.000 He's also the communications director of the White House because he dictates the message.

03:39:22.000 He executes the agenda.

03:39:25.000 You know, one of the things I love about President Trump, and I think what makes him such a great leader, is that he's so deeply involved in every decision that is made.

03:39:33.000 Every speech that is written, every executive order that is signed, where most politicians, you just hand them the script and they read it.

03:39:40.000 President Trump cares about every word he is saying and every action he is taking.

03:39:44.000 So he's our leader.

03:39:46.000 To the point of putting the period or exclamation point, right?

03:39:50.000 Or the capitalization of a random word, that too.

03:39:52.000 Okay, that's a good one as well.

03:39:54.000 You know, but I gotta ask you, because you know, Mark Rubin, that guy who's, I don't know, he makes money or whatever.

03:40:00.000 He made that comment during the campaign about there's no strong or intelligent women around Donald Trump. 1.00

03:40:07.000 Those strong and intelligent women, I think, are one of the most critical parts of the White House. 1.00

03:40:12.000 Definitely.

03:40:13.000 And how he listens to the women.

03:40:15.000 Tell us about that.

03:40:16.000 Absolutely.

03:40:17.000 Look at the White House and look at the exceptional cabinet that President Trump has put together.

03:40:21.000 Who loves the cabinet team that President Trump has put together?

03:40:25.000 It's amazing.

03:40:26.000 It's amazing.

03:40:29.000 We don't care about identity politics.

03:40:31.000 You brought it up, and it's true. 0.98

03:40:33.000 The president has appointed Susie Wiles, who is our first female chief of staff in United States history.

03:40:40.000 Brooke Rollins heading up the Secretary.

03:40:43.000 She's our Secretary of Agriculture.

03:40:45.000 We look across the entire cabinet.

03:40:47.000 There are incredible women. 1.00

03:40:49.000 Linda McMahon leading the Department of Education.

03:40:52.000 You know, the list goes on and on.

03:40:54.000 And the White House is full of working women. 1.00

03:40:56.000 In fact, I was going up the staircase in the West Wing today and saw two of my female colleagues, both of whom are pregnant, having babies this year. 0.88

03:41:03.000 And they're working and they're saving America because President Trump believes in the best people for the job, the brightest people.

03:41:10.000 That's right.

03:41:11.000 So, tell us, okay, that first day, because I remember we were like, okay, it's Caroline Levitt's first press briefing.

03:41:21.000 How many of you people were watching out there?

03:41:26.000 So, of course, as the older sister, I'm like going, I better start praying right now.

03:41:31.000 And we're both Catholics, so I'm like praying to like Mary, the saints, everybody else, Jesus.

03:41:35.000 I'm like, Jesus, come on, just cover.

03:41:37.000 When you walked into that White House press briefing room, now you were there beforehand as one of the press assistants, but this is different.

03:41:45.000 This is like one of the most important jobs of the administration.

03:41:50.000 How did you feel?

03:41:52.000 And what was your focus?

03:41:54.000 Like, how did you know, okay, I'm ready.

03:41:56.000 I'm in business.

03:41:57.000 Yes.

03:41:58.000 Well, there is extensive preparation that goes into each briefing, and I'm so blessed to have an amazing team at the White House who helps me prepare.

03:42:07.000 I brought three of our big guns yesterday.

03:42:09.000 We had Stephen Miller and Mike Waltz and Kevin Hassett join me at the podium to celebrate one month.

03:42:15.000 And I lean on the policy experts in the building and, you know, to figure out what is fake news versus what is truth.

03:42:22.000 So a lot of preparation, a lot of reading, talking to the president to understand his thinking.

03:42:27.000 And then when I got to the podium, I realized the president is delivering on everything he said he was going to do, which makes my job as his spokeswoman easy because I'm not working for a politician who is lying and we have to spin.

03:42:40.000 I'm working for a man who said things and he's delivering on those things every day.

03:42:48.000 I remember, because I worked in the first administration, and the press secretary at the time, I was a strategic communications senior advisor for President Trump, and our press secretary at the time was now Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who will be on stage with me tomorrow.

03:43:08.000 But I remember those exchanges between Sarah and this guy.

03:43:14.000 Let me remember his name.

03:43:15.000 Wait a second.

03:43:15.000 The CNN guy.

03:43:17.000 Jim Acosta?

03:43:20.000 Oh, oh wait.

03:43:22.000 He's not on CNN anymore.

03:43:24.000 That's right.

03:43:25.000 He was like, so not, it was just so, I would say, you don't mind the aggressive questions.

03:43:32.000 You take the aggressive questions.

03:43:34.000 But it was just always to the point that it was like, how do you destroy Donald Trump?

03:43:38.000 How do you destroy the individuals and staff?

03:43:41.000 It was so, when they do say Trump derangement syndrome, and I do think that there's also Elon Musk.

03:43:51.000 How do you view that differently from the first administration till now?

03:43:56.000 Because it was a lot of dealing with Russian hoax at the beginning, special counsels.

03:44:01.000 It was constant because the media was trying so hard to...

03:44:05.000 And they never apologized, right?

03:44:07.000 They didn't apologize about the Russian hoax. 0.61

03:44:08.000 Yeah, that's right.

03:44:09.000 They didn't.

03:44:10.000 So this time around, it's a very different strategy that you all are taking forward.

03:44:15.000 What is that strategy?

03:44:16.000 Well, first of all, since you brought up Jim Acosta, he's been saying some not-so-nice things about me online, and I've resisted responding, but since you brought him up, I'd like to say to Jim, at least I have a job, Jim, okay?

03:44:30.000 Just saying.

03:44:33.000 Now, moving on.

03:44:38.000 Moving on.

03:44:39.000 As far as the strategy, we are on offense.

03:44:43.000 We are on offense every single day, and the president leads from an offensive mindset.

03:44:50.000 We are not going to apologize for cutting waste, fraud, and abuse from our government.

03:44:55.000 We are not going to apologize for mass-deporting illegal immigrant criminals who have broken our nation's laws and terrorized our communities. 1.00

03:45:06.000 And we are not going to apologize for slashing regulations and undoing the disastrous policies of the previous administration.

03:45:14.000 That's what the president said he was going to do.

03:45:16.000 And that's what the majority of our fellow Americans want.

03:45:19.000 The latest CBS poll, 70% of Americans say that President Trump is delivering on what he said he was going to do.

03:45:26.000 So we're not going to apologize.

03:45:27.000 We're going to keep moving ahead.

03:45:28.000 And we try to bring that approach in our messaging every single day.

03:45:32.000 So I got to ask you, you know, you're working.

03:45:35.000 All the time.

03:45:36.000 These jobs are, when I tell you so demanding, they are so demanding.

03:45:40.000 And I do feel that it is like warp speed what you're dealing with, even more so than we saw in the first administration.

03:45:47.000 How do you get the strength to just get through every single day?

03:45:51.000 My faith in God.

03:45:53.000 Absolutely.

03:45:55.000 Waking up every day and just remembering I'm blessed and we're all blessed to live in this country and to have a president who is looking out for us every day.

03:46:04.000 Family support.

03:46:06.000 And our team at the White House.

03:46:07.000 We really have a great team.

03:46:09.000 And you talked about how the media tried to cause so much division within the White House in the first term.

03:46:14.000 They're trying to do it, but I think they're failing.

03:46:17.000 They are not getting away with it because we truly have such great camaraderie.

03:46:21.000 And the people I work with every day, they're friends and we're together.

03:46:25.000 I mean...

03:46:26.000 18 hours a day, so you gotta like who you're around.

03:46:29.000 But we truly are having fun, and we're getting work done.

03:46:33.000 And again, the president is leading with that positive, happy warrior attitude, and it transpires to the rest of the White House every day.

03:46:40.000 And you know, in the first administration, there were those chiefs of staffs that were trying to undermine President Trump.

03:46:46.000 This is, I mean, Susie Wiles is so impressive in terms of being able to bring order. 1.00

03:46:54.000 And just, I think, so much structure to what we're seeing at the White House.

03:46:57.000 Your reaction?

03:46:58.000 Susie Wiles is wildly respected by every single person in that building. 0.92

03:47:03.000 And she sets the tone.

03:47:05.000 She sets the pace.

03:47:06.000 She's like that person in your life that you never want to disappoint.

03:47:09.000 Like, you never want Susie Wiles to look at you and be disappointed.

03:47:12.000 Everybody just has the utmost respect for her, especially the president.

03:47:16.000 And they have a great relationship, and she's done a phenomenal job.

03:47:21.000 She led the most historic campaign in America. 0.94

03:47:24.000 And the biggest victory on November 5th.

03:47:26.000 And we're so grateful to have her at the White House.

03:47:29.000 Now, I remember when I met Caroline, she was running for Congress in New Hampshire.

03:47:34.000 Yes.

03:47:35.000 And I mean, the energy and the charisma of this young woman.

03:47:39.000 How old were you at that time?

03:47:41.000 Oh, gosh.

03:47:41.000 I wasn't even old enough to be in Congress when I started the campaign.

03:47:45.000 I was 23 years old and turned 25 in the midst of it all.

03:47:48.000 So what lessons did you learn during that campaign?

03:47:52.000 And I watched you in action to what you are able to apply that to your job today.

03:47:58.000 So many lessons.

03:48:00.000 First of all, running for office was an incredible experience, and I think it helped prepare me a lot for this job.

03:48:05.000 But obviously, you know, public speaking, not being afraid, and just doubling down on your positions and your values, and grateful for the experience.

03:48:15.000 Glad I lost the general election because this job is a heck of a lot more fun.

03:48:19.000 No kidding.

03:48:20.000 Well, you realize something in life and you appreciate this.

03:48:23.000 God has a plan, right?

03:48:24.000 God has a plan for every single one of us.

03:48:27.000 And, you know, with disappointments that come in life, then come other great opportunities and great things.

03:48:33.000 Okay, so let's talk about the Gulf of America.

03:48:39.000 Okay.

03:48:41.000 Okay, tell me what happened with the AP. What's going on here?

03:48:45.000 It's just us, right?

03:48:47.000 It's just us.

03:48:48.000 Well, I really would love to answer this question, but upon driving over here from the White House, I actually learned that I have been sued by the Associated Press.

03:48:57.000 Oh, that means, okay, we cannot.

03:48:59.000 Wait, personally?

03:49:00.000 We'll see them in court.

03:49:01.000 Wait a second.

03:49:01.000 Personally?

03:49:03.000 Yes.

03:49:04.000 See, this is what these people do.

03:49:06.000 It's called lawfare.

03:49:07.000 You can't say it.

03:49:08.000 I'll say it.

03:49:08.000 It's called lawfare, people.

03:49:10.000 That means I'll probably get sued in the next 30 minutes or so.

03:49:13.000 Okay, keep going.

03:49:14.000 So I wanted to get the White House counsel on the phone before taking this stage to see what I can and cannot say.

03:49:19.000 I really can't say anything.

03:49:19.000 But look, we feel we are in the right in this position.

03:49:23.000 And I said in my first briefing at the podium, we are going to ensure that truth and accuracy is present at that White House every single day.

03:49:37.000 And one of the changes that we made, President Trump ran a non-traditional media strategy on the campaign trail, and he owned it, and he did...

03:49:45.000 The Theo Vaughn podcast, the Joe Rogan podcast.

03:49:49.000 He went places that no other politician has ever wanted to go.

03:49:53.000 And it helped him earn votes.

03:49:55.000 It helped him earn support.

03:49:56.000 And we wanted to continue that approach with the White House.

03:49:59.000 So we've added the new media seat and the White House briefing room.

03:50:02.000 That's been fantastic.

03:50:03.000 Thank you.

03:50:04.000 Yes.

03:50:04.000 We are inviting podcasters and influencers and independent journalists who aren't constrained by this legacy media bias to join us.

03:50:13.000 They deserve the privilege of...

03:50:15.000 We're covering the President of the United States just as much as any other legacy media outlet who has spewed lies about President Trump for years.

03:50:22.000 Lies about President Trump, lies about the people who work for President Trump, lies against people like yourselves.

03:50:31.000 This is what the media, so many in the media, have done.

03:50:34.000 I'm not saying all of them, because there are some good eggs out there, for sure.

03:50:36.000 But there is definitely the sense that they drove this narrative, that they pushed this leftist agenda.

03:50:42.000 Didn't they forget to talk about Biden's mental decline for quite some time?

03:50:46.000 That was a narrative that they just ignored, I guess, the cover-up of the century.

03:50:51.000 What were they doing, sitting out there in the White House, just eating popcorn and going, yeah, why isn't he coming out to speak to us?

03:50:58.000 And they didn't cover it.

03:50:59.000 And I was so glad that Stephen Miller...

03:51:02.000 Called out the press yesterday in the briefing.

03:51:04.000 I'm not sure if you guys saw that.

03:51:06.000 But he said many of the people in that room covered up Biden's mental incompetence.

03:51:11.000 And he is right.

03:51:12.000 And if you talk to these reporters off the record, that's the worst part about it.

03:51:16.000 They won't report on it, but they will tell you off the record to your face that they knew Biden was incompetent.

03:51:22.000 But the White House staff sometimes weren't showing up until noon.

03:51:25.000 No work was being done.

03:51:27.000 Nobody knew who was in charge.

03:51:28.000 We all knew the truth in this room.

03:51:30.000 And they tried to tell us... 0.95

03:51:31.000 Don't believe your lying eyes.

03:51:33.000 He has all this energy and spirit.

03:51:35.000 It was always a lie, and shame on the media for peddling it.

03:51:42.000 So there's this thing called the press pool, and they walk...

03:51:45.000 So President Trump, he's in the Oval Office with all of his executive orders, the blue binders, and there they bring in the press pool, and he loves it.

03:51:53.000 He thrives on it.

03:51:55.000 Tell me about those exchanges.

03:51:57.000 I just feel like the press, they're really...

03:52:00.000 I mean, I don't know if they can work these 24-hour cycles of President Trump's new administration.

03:52:04.000 I mean, can they?

03:52:05.000 They're exhausted.

03:52:07.000 They're exhausted.

03:52:08.000 Don't you think they should just take a vacation at this point because they just can't keep up?

03:52:10.000 Well, we've signed 73 executive orders.

03:52:13.000 Actually, the president was signing two more when I left the White House, so 75 executive orders.

03:52:18.000 Quadruple the number of Barack Obama, double the number of Joe Biden in that same period of time.

03:52:24.000 He is outworking every president ever, and the media can't keep up.

03:52:28.000 But that first day, President Trump was, think about this, he was inaugurated, swore the oath of office, goes to the White House, sees his old office.

03:52:38.000 For the first time, the Resolute desk, and he says, let's invite journalists into one of the most intimate spaces of the American presidency in the Oval Office, and I'll take questions from them on any topic they want for more than an hour.

03:52:52.000 This is the most transparent and accessible president we have ever had, despite what the media wants to say.

03:53:01.000 So, you're a mom. 0.68

03:53:04.000 I am.

03:53:05.000 Isn't that fabulous?

03:53:06.000 It's the best thing ever.

03:53:07.000 It's the best thing ever.

03:53:09.000 It is.

03:53:09.000 And I will tell you, in my time at the White House, it was with Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Ivanka Trump, Kellyanne Conway, Brooke Rollins.

03:53:17.000 Between all this, we had 19 kids.

03:53:20.000 Goodness gracious, a lot of kids.

03:53:22.000 It's a huge sacrifice.

03:53:24.000 It's a huge sacrifice.

03:53:26.000 But you look at your son, Nico, and why are you doing what you're doing?

03:53:32.000 For him?

03:53:34.000 And for all of the other children in this country, we have a country to save.

03:53:38.000 And I want my son to grow up in a free and patriotic America that we can be proud of.

03:53:45.000 And thank you.

03:53:46.000 I try to remind myself of that.

03:53:49.000 Thank you.

03:53:52.000 Thanks.

03:53:53.000 Thank you.

03:53:56.000 Thank you.

03:54:00.000 All right.

03:54:03.000 One more question here.

03:54:05.000 Thank you.

03:54:08.000 So yesterday I asked Vice President J.D. Vance.

03:54:11.000 Yes.

03:54:11.000 Who's great, by the way?

03:54:13.000 Who loves our Vice President? 0.93

03:54:14.000 I mean, seriously.

03:54:15.000 I asked him the question, what is your message to young men?

03:54:20.000 There's a lot of young women out there, young girls, who really admire you.

03:54:25.000 I mean, in addition to being the youngest press secretary in history, Really doing the work that you're doing and just being so strong while you're doing it.

03:54:35.000 It's so admirable.

03:54:37.000 What's your message to these young women?

03:54:40.000 Stay strong, speak the truth, and don't let anybody tell you you can't achieve your dream or you can't get to that next step.

03:54:49.000 Just believe in yourself because there will be a lot of people who don't believe in you, who cast doubt on you, who talk bad about you.

03:54:56.000 Screw them.

03:54:56.000 It doesn't matter.

03:54:57.000 It doesn't matter.

03:55:02.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Caroline Lovett, your press secretary.

03:55:06.000 Thank you.

04:19:10.000 There must be someone real special about to get on stage, right, Matt?

04:19:23.000 We have some seats open here.

04:19:25.000 Let's go pack it in, folks.

04:19:26.000 We got some red seats open.

04:19:28.000 They're moving.

04:19:29.000 What do you think about CPAC 2025?

04:19:36.000 Are you glad that America is back on track?

04:19:41.000 Has it been a long, tedious four years?

04:19:46.000 Are you ready to tell the whole world that America...

04:19:50.000 America is ready to be America again.

04:19:56.000 We have some announcements and some news.

04:19:59.000 There's so much going on.

04:20:00.000 We have a very special guest who's going to be here during the conference.

04:20:05.000 You know, kind of like a tech titan maybe.

04:20:11.000 Yes, ladies and gentlemen, because thank God we're back to two genders. 1.00

04:20:22.000 Elon Musk will be here on the CPAC stage.

04:20:28.000 We just launched yesterday with the CPAC International Summit, where we had several key members coming from, representing from different countries with their delegations, where we had several key members coming from, representing from different countries with their delegations, Matt.

04:20:50.000 Do you want to share what we did there?

04:20:51.000 Yeah, we passed three resolutions in support with one of America's greatest ally, the State of Israel.

04:21:04.000 We were both saddened and honored to be joined by the families of those who have friends and family members as hostages by the evil Hamas. 0.87

04:21:16.000 And we have two of the hostages that were freed Thank you for joining us today.

04:21:21.000 And I believe they're here, right here with us.

04:21:25.000 God bless you.

04:21:28.000 America stands with you.

04:21:31.000 America stands with Israel.

04:21:33.000 And we will ensure that Hamas is eradicated.

04:21:37.000 We will bring peace to the Middle East under President Trump.

04:21:46.000 It's hard for me to get over that because that's just...

04:21:49.000 Thank you for being here.

04:21:50.000 You honor us with your presence and your courage and your strength.

04:21:53.000 And we have a president now in the United States of America that will not only help your loved ones, he's going to make it so that there aren't future victims, which we have to make sure we prevent.

04:22:04.000 So thank you.

04:22:08.000 Gordon Chang wrote a very important resolution.

04:22:12.000 By the way, these resolutions...

04:22:14.000 We're supported by all the nations that were assembled at our second annual CPAC International Summit.

04:22:22.000 We are working not as government entities, but as entities outside government to push for these policies.

04:22:29.000 And Gordon Chang wrote a very important resolution to combat the Chinese regime, the communist regime in China.

04:22:39.000 And I want all of these despots and dictators to know That Donald Trump might talk to you.

04:22:46.000 He might make you feel like you're welcome because that's part of his job.

04:22:50.000 But in the end, we have a president that's going to stop you cold in your tracks.

04:22:58.000 And all of these countries accepted that resolution as well.

04:23:02.000 And perhaps my favorite resolution, I wish I had it here and could read to you on my phone, but I think I have the gist of it, which is...

04:23:12.000 We have a message to the globalists.

04:23:14.000 Last year, Mercy and I stood on the stage and we said globalism, at CPAC, globalism was going to die.

04:23:22.000 I thought that was an audacious statement.

04:23:24.000 I thought we'd just say it.

04:23:25.000 Right, Jerry?

04:23:26.000 Let's just say it.

04:23:28.000 And then it happened.

04:23:29.000 It's kind of amazing.

04:23:34.000 And so our message to the globalists is, no matter whether you're at the World Economic Forum, the WHO, The EU, you can boo at any time.

04:23:44.000 The UN. No matter who is trying to tell you as a mom or a dad, as a church member, as a teacher, as a cop, no matter who is trying to tell you what pronouns you should use, how you should pray to your God, how much you believe your country is racist, all that's over.

04:24:11.000 And a part of that is, and this is a great way to start.

04:24:15.000 We just had Natasha out here and the great pastor from Arizona who was with us on the campaign trail in Arizona.

04:24:21.000 Part of that is, can we all just thank God for giving us a president who knows how to lead?

04:24:29.000 And I'll expand that to a great young vice president who knows how to lead.

04:24:39.000 All these resolutions passed.

04:24:41.000 I don't know how CPAC became a global brand fighting the globalists with people here from like every country all over the world, but let's go with it because it seems to be working just fine.

04:24:53.000 And I want to leave you with this.

04:24:56.000 You are the reason because President Trump is in the White House today.

04:25:02.000 All of you, each and every one of you fought hard, stood up.

04:25:08.000 We all shared this incredible optimistic message that we need to save America and in essence save the world.

04:25:17.000 So I want to thank you all personally from the bottom of our hearts as being part of this incredible CPAC family because you all have made the difference in this past election.

04:25:27.000 It's the truth.

04:25:28.000 So we honor you.

04:25:30.000 We appreciate you so much.

04:25:33.000 We've talked long enough.

04:25:35.000 Let's get this show on the road.

04:25:36.000 I think you have someone big that you want to announce that's coming out here.

04:25:39.000 Good luck.

04:25:40.000 I'll be in the wings making sure you do a good job.

04:25:42.000 Okay, Dad.

04:25:43.000 All right.

04:25:44.000 All right, gang.

04:25:45.000 Are you all ready?

04:25:47.000 Okay.

04:25:49.000 So, you know, there's this young guy, you know, with this beautiful family, with this beautiful wife that is actually just a shining star right now in American politics.

04:26:02.000 Marine veteran, former Ohio senator, one of the coolest guys I think we have around, and one of the best communicators in this Trump administration.

04:26:15.000 Can you please let us applaud together, let us welcome the greatest Vice President of America, JD Vance.

04:26:26.000 What's up guys, how we doing?

04:26:39.000 Thank you all, thank you. thank you.

04:26:58.000 USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

04:27:10.000 It's good to see you.

04:27:11.000 It is great to see you, too.

04:27:12.000 I mean, you've been, like, on a whirlwind here.

04:27:15.000 Yeah, yeah.

04:27:15.000 Are you a little jet-lagged or no?

04:27:17.000 You know, yes, I am a little jet-lagged.

04:27:20.000 So we did a trip where we went to France and then to Germany and then we went to San Diego for a family wedding and then back in D.C. and we did all that in, like, seven days.

04:27:30.000 So a little jet-lagged, that's okay.

04:27:32.000 I brought...

04:27:32.000 I'm a good...

04:27:34.000 I got some sleep last night.

04:27:36.000 Okay, good.

04:27:37.000 Then we're ready.

04:27:37.000 We're ready.

04:27:38.000 But it's a real special day today.

04:27:40.000 You know what today is, guys?

04:27:41.000 It's February 20th.

04:27:43.000 That means our first 30 days.

04:27:47.000 The happy one-month anniversary of the Trump-Vance administration.

04:27:54.000 I mean, how exciting is that?

04:27:58.000 It's very exciting.

04:28:00.000 It's hard to believe we've only been in office for a month, because I think we've done more in a month than Biden did in about four years.

04:28:06.000 And thank God for that.

04:28:08.000 But, you know, the president keeps us on a pretty breakneck pace.

04:28:13.000 He always asks, what have we done today?

04:28:15.000 What are we going to do tomorrow?

04:28:16.000 What are we going to do next week?

04:28:17.000 Because I think he realizes this is a special moment in time.

04:28:21.000 And by the way, thank you.

04:28:23.000 Thanks to all of you for making it possible for us to do all the great work we've been doing.

04:28:27.000 In the administration, I know we wouldn't have been here without you, but I think the president is acutely aware that the American people gave us a window to save the country, and that's exactly what we're going to do, and thank God for that, because it's been a hell of a lot of fun the past month.

04:28:41.000 Okay, so I don't even think we can keep track of all the things you all are doing.

04:28:45.000 In fact, I don't even think the press can keep track of all they're doing.

04:28:50.000 I mean, talk about the shock and awe strategy.

04:28:52.000 Seriously.

04:28:53.000 So when you're looking at this list after list after list, what stands out?

04:28:58.000 Well, speaking of the press, I do think that we've had maybe more executive orders than CNN has viewers each night.

04:29:04.000 So hello to our friends at CNN. I actually think that their plan was they were going to go all in on anti-Trump and hope that he could save CNN in the same way that he did, frankly, in 2017, because nobody really watched the network until...

04:29:22.000 Until he became president in 2017. But that's maybe the one thing I think the president has been unable to do, unable to save CNN's ratings over the last few months.

04:29:33.000 But look, I think that what the president has tried to do is recognize that we have a historical mandate on a few issues.

04:29:41.000 We have to secure the southern border, and thanks to his actions, border crossings are down well over 90 percent, and we're just getting started.

04:29:50.000 He recognizes that we have to really unlock the engine of American growth.

04:29:55.000 We've got to get back to having a growing economy that creates good jobs and high wages for the American people.

04:30:00.000 And a lot of that goes back to drill, baby drill.

04:30:03.000 We've done more on energy under President Trump's leadership than I think any administration in history.

04:30:09.000 And that's not an exaggeration.

04:30:11.000 And of course, we're going to do more.

04:30:12.000 And I think the third thing that he's tried to do, of course, With the help of Elon and all the great folks at Doge is ask, what are we doing with all of the American taxpayers' money and why are we wasting so much of it on garbage that the American people either aren't aware that we're spending it on or don't want to be spending it on in the first place?

04:30:33.000 Like, for example, the stuff that we've figured out, Mercedes, is unbelievable.

04:30:37.000 unbelievable.

04:30:38.000 Why are we spending money on progressive modern art projects centered around toilets in Afghanistan? 1.00

04:30:46.000 That's actually something that your tax dollars were funding until very recently.

04:30:50.000 And I think all of us are sitting around and asking, what the hell are we doing with the American people's money for the last four years?

04:30:56.000 Let's turn off the spigot and spend the American people's tax money on the American people's priority. 0.91

04:31:02.000 And that's, of course, been a big focus in the administration, too.

04:31:06.000 Let's dig deeper into the immigration issue.

04:31:10.000 We've seen and you've met Many of the victims, people who have family members who have died, have been tragically, tragically murdered.

04:31:22.000 All right, gang, are you all ready?

04:31:25.000 Okay.

04:31:28.000 So, you know, there's this young guy, you know, with this beautiful family, with this beautiful wife that is actually just a shining star right now in American politics.

04:31:41.000 Marine veteran, former Ohio senator, one of the coolest guys I think we have around, and one of the best communicators in this Trump administration.

04:31:54.000 Can you please let us applaud together, let us welcome the greatest Vice President of America, J.D. Vance.

04:32:04.000 What's up guys, how we doing? how we doing?

04:32:23.000 Hey, don't worry.

04:32:26.000 Dude, thanks for doing this.

04:32:31.000 Thank you all.

04:32:34.000 Thank you.

04:32:35.000 Thank you all.

04:32:47.000 Thank you.

04:32:48.000 It's great to be with you.

04:32:49.000 It's good to see you.

04:32:49.000 It is great to see you too.

04:32:51.000 I mean, you've been like on a whirlwind here.

04:32:54.000 Yeah.

04:32:54.000 Are you a little jet lagged or no?

04:32:56.000 You know, yes, I am a little jet lagged.

04:32:59.000 So we did a trip where we went to France and then to Germany.

04:33:04.000 And then we went to San Diego for a family wedding.

04:33:06.000 And then back in D.C. And we did all that in like seven days.

04:33:09.000 So a little jet lag.

04:33:10.000 That's okay.

04:33:12.000 I'm in a good place right now.

04:33:14.000 I got some sleep last night.

04:33:15.000 Okay, good.

04:33:15.000 Then we're ready.

04:33:16.000 We're ready.

04:33:17.000 But it's a real special day today.

04:33:19.000 You know what today is, guys?

04:33:20.000 It's February 20th.

04:33:22.000 That means our first 30 days.

04:33:25.000 It's the happy one month anniversary of the Trump Vance administration.

04:33:47.000 But the president keeps us on a pretty breakneck pace.

04:33:52.000 He always asks, what have we done today?

04:33:54.000 What are we going to do tomorrow?

04:33:55.000 What are we going to do next week?

04:33:56.000 Because I think he realizes this is a special moment in time.

04:34:00.000 And by the way, thank you.

04:34:02.000 Thanks to all of you for making it possible for us to do all the great work we've been doing in the administration.

04:34:07.000 I know we wouldn't have been here without you, but I think the president is acutely aware that the American people gave us a window to save the country, and that's exactly what we're going to do.

04:34:16.000 And thank God for that, because it's been a hell of a lot of fun the past month.

04:34:20.000 Okay, so I don't even think we can keep track of all the things you all are doing.

04:34:24.000 In fact, I don't even think the press can keep track of all they're doing.

04:34:28.000 I mean, talk about the shock and awe strategy.

04:34:31.000 Seriously.

04:34:32.000 So when you're looking at this list after list after list, what stands out to you?

04:35:11.000 But look, I think that what the president has tried to do is recognize that we have a historical mandate on a few issues.

04:35:20.000 We have to secure the southern border.

04:35:22.000 And thanks to his actions, border crossings are down well over 90 percent.

04:35:26.000 And we're just getting started.

04:35:28.000 He recognizes that we have to really unlock the engine of American growth.

04:35:33.000 We've got to get back to having a growing economy that creates good jobs and high wages for the American people.

04:35:38.000 And a lot of that goes back to drill, baby drill.

04:35:44.000 Under President Trump's leadership than I think any administration in history, and that's not an exaggeration, and of course we're going to do more.

04:35:51.000 And I think the third thing that he's tried to do, of course, with the help of Elon and all the great folks at Doge, is ask, what are we doing with all of the American taxpayers' money, and why are we wasting so much of it on garbage that the American people either aren't aware that we're spending it on or don't want to be spending it on in the first place?

04:36:11.000 Like, for example...

04:36:13.000 The stuff that we've figured out, Mercedes, is unbelievable.

04:36:16.000 believable.

04:36:16.000 Why are we spending money on progressive modern art projects centered around toilets in Afghanistan?

04:36:24.000 That's actually something that your tax dollars were funding until very recently.

04:36:29.000 And I think all of us are sitting around and asking, what the hell are we doing with the American people's money for the last four years?

04:36:35.000 Let's turn off the spigot and spend the American people's tax money on the American people's priority. 0.91

04:36:40.000 And that's, of course, been a big focus in the administration too.

04:36:46.000 Let's dig deeper into the immigration issue.

04:36:49.000 Sure.

04:36:51.000 Many of the victims, people who have family members who have died, have been tragically, tragically murdered. 0.96

04:36:59.000 Those angel families in the hands of these criminal illegal aliens. 0.99

04:37:04.000 Sure.

04:37:05.000 What's your message to these families?

04:37:07.000 And then, what is your message to these horrific drug cartels and human traffickers who have preyed on the most vulnerable in the world?

04:37:18.000 Well, our message to the drug traffickers is get the hell out of our country.

04:37:23.000 Your free ride is over because President Trump is back in the Oval Office. 0.91

04:37:30.000 You're not welcome.

04:37:32.000 You were never welcome, according to the American people.

04:37:35.000 But unfortunately, you had President Joe Biden who allowed you to run free.

04:37:40.000 Over the United States of America.

04:37:41.000 And Donald Trump has said, you're terrorist organizations. 0.90

04:37:44.000 We're going to go after you. 0.97

04:37:45.000 We're going to wage war on you.

04:37:46.000 And certainly, we want you out of the United States of America.

04:37:50.000 And that's an important message, of course.

04:37:52.000 But our message, and you know this, Mercedes, our message to the families is President Trump cares about you.

04:38:00.000 He thinks that it's disgraceful what your own government let happen to your children, to your grandchildren.

04:38:05.000 And it's got to stop.

04:38:07.000 And of course, we mourn with people, we pray for people, but we're also asking, as their government, why did this happen to your child in the first place?

04:38:16.000 And the answer is that under Joe Biden, your government didn't do its job.

04:38:20.000 Under Donald Trump, it is.

04:38:21.000 Thank God for that.

04:38:25.000 On the economy, and I'm getting this question all the time, you know, it's this question of affordability, right?

04:38:30.000 There's a lot of stress on our families, something that I think Joe Biden could not manage in terms of really helping lower that cost of living and making things just simply more affordable.

04:38:42.000 Sure.

04:38:43.000 We talked about energy independence being a critical component of this, of ensuring that we unleash this economic prosperity.

04:38:50.000 What more needs to be done?

04:38:53.000 Yeah, so one of the first interviews I did, it was, I think, six or seven days after the inauguration.

04:38:59.000 And somebody asked me, well, it's been six days.

04:39:01.000 What have you gone on to fix the inflation crisis created by Joe Biden?

04:39:05.000 I'm like, well, first of all, it's been six days.

04:39:08.000 We've done a lot in six days.

04:39:09.000 But it's going to take some time to fix what Joe Biden broke over four years.

04:39:15.000 And we know...

04:39:16.000 It is easy, unfortunately, to burn the house down.

04:39:21.000 It takes a little bit of time to build it back up.

04:39:23.000 And here's what we have to do.

04:39:25.000 Because, look, the fundamental goal of our immigration policy, of our border policy, of Doge saving taxpayer money, the fundamental goal is we want your children and grandchildren to be able to raise a family in security and comfort in the country that we all love.

04:39:42.000 That is the whole goal of President Trump's agenda.

04:39:48.000 Safety and prosperity, right?

04:39:49.000 It's pretty common sense stuff.

04:39:51.000 And we know that to do that, we have to, first of all, unleash American... 0.57

04:39:59.000 The prices got too high under Joe Biden's leadership.

04:40:03.000 Well, one of the main drivers of groceries is energy.

04:40:05.000 Because if the farmers are paying more for energy, then we're all paying more for what the farmers grow.

04:40:10.000 And if the truck drivers who are delivering the groceries are paying more for fuel, then we're all paying more for what the truck drivers are delivering to the grocery store.

04:40:19.000 If we unleash American energy, that will do more than anything to drive down the cost for the American people.

04:40:25.000 The second thing, Mercedes, is we have got to stop spending the American We are used to it.

04:40:49.000 And the good news is people no longer believe in their lies, despite all the mad they throw at us.

04:40:59.000 Citizens keep voting for us.

04:41:02.000 Because simply, people are not naive as the last considers them.

04:41:09.000 They vote for us because we defend freedom.

04:41:12.000 We love our nations.

04:41:14.000 We want secure borders.

04:41:16.000 We preserve businesses and citizens from the green leftist insanity.

04:41:21.000 We defend family and life.

04:41:24.000 We fight against wokeism.

04:41:26.000 We protect our sacred right.

04:41:28.000 To our fate and our free speech.

04:41:31.000 And we stand for common sense.

04:41:34.000 So ultimately, our struggle is hard.

04:41:38.000 But the choice is simple.

04:41:41.000 Will we surrender to decline?

04:41:44.000 Or will we fight to reverse it?

04:41:48.000 Will we let our civilization fade?

04:41:51.000 Or will we stand up and defend it?

04:41:55.000 Will we leave our children a weaker world, or a stronger one?

04:42:00.000 Will we want the new generations to be ashamed of their roots, or will we recover awareness and pride of who we are and teach it to them?

04:42:10.000 I made my choice long ago, and I fight every day to honor it.

04:42:17.000 And I know that I'm not alone in this battle.

04:42:23.000 That you are all standing with me.

04:42:26.000 That we are all standing together.

04:42:29.000 And believe me, this makes all the difference.

04:42:32.000 Thank you all.

04:42:33.000 Thank you all.

04:42:33.000 God bless you and God bless the free nations of the world.

04:42:36.000 My name is Elise Stefanik.

04:42:46.000 I'm proud to say I was born and raised in upstate New York.

04:42:49.000 I've seen firsthand how insiders in Washington have forgotten to fight for average small businesses like ours on Main Street.

04:42:56.000 I want to change that because we deserve results.

04:43:00.000 Elise.

04:43:07.000 Elise, how's Elise doing, right?

04:43:11.000 A Republican from Northern New York, the youngest woman ever to serve in Congress.

04:43:15.000 Elise Stefanik, the number three leader in the House.

04:43:18.000 One of the former presidents most...

04:43:20.000 Loyal supporters.

04:43:22.000 What a job she's done.

04:43:23.000 Thank you, Elise.

04:43:24.000 Thank God there are people out there like Elise Stefanik, who doesn't just moan about things on Twitter. 0.73

04:43:29.000 Representing Fort Drum in upstate New York, Stefanik is a member of the House Intelligence and Armed Services Committee.

04:43:36.000 I rise today in strong support of the conference report for the National Defense Authorization Act.

04:43:41.000 Stefanik won her swing district by 22 points and last year was re-elected by 35 points.

04:43:48.000 Everyone knows upstate...

04:43:53.000 Congresswoman Elise Stefanik securing a fourth term in office, winning by nearly double over her Democratic challenger.

04:44:00.000 Elise Stefanik, a name becoming more nationally recognized.

04:44:03.000 She is a superstar.

04:44:05.000 Congresswoman who Adam Schiff could not silence.

04:44:09.000 This is the fifth time you have interrupted members of Congress. 0.99

04:44:12.000 Did I not realize when she opens that mouth, you are killing them, Elise. 1.00

04:44:18.000 You are killing them. 0.97

04:44:20.000 House GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik is announcing a probe aimed at holding school administrators accountable.

04:44:26.000 I'm going to give you one more opportunity.

04:44:28.000 Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Penn's code of conduct when it comes to bullying and harassment?

04:44:35.000 Yes or no?

04:44:36.000 I watched her run over the head of Harvard, the head of Penn, the great old Wharton School of Finance.

04:44:43.000 With 69 days to go, Donald Trump tapped New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik to be U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

04:44:50.000 It has never been more critical for the United States to lead with strength and moral clarity.

04:44:55.000 I share President Trump's vision of a U.N. reform by strong America first, peace through strength, and a return to this founding mission of promoting peace and security around the world.

04:45:05.000 In closing, I will forever be grateful to my constituents in New York's 21st District.

04:45:10.000 Ten years ago, upstate and North Country voters took a chance on a young, first-time, unknown candidate.

04:45:16.000 And I commit to the American people that I will work my very hardest in the coming years to lead with moral clarity and American values.

04:45:23.000 Whether it's standing up for election integrity, whether it's defeating Liz Cheney to unify the Republican Party...

04:45:30.000 I'll always be your friend.

04:45:31.000 Are we ready to make America great again?

04:45:33.000 Yeah!

04:45:34.000 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome U.S. Ambassador Designate to the United Nations, Elise Stefanik. please welcome U.S. Ambassador Designate to the United Nations, Elise Hello,

04:45:57.000 America First Patriots. America First Patriots.

04:46:12.000 Are you excited to be here?

04:46:14.000 It is so good.

04:46:18.000 It's so great to be back at CPAC with the Republican trifecta.

04:46:23.000 A Republican House, a Republican Senate, and of course, President Donald J. Trump in the White House.

04:46:34.000 Now we know none of this would have been possible without you, the American people.

04:46:40.000 So I want to thank you for years of hard work, sacrifice, and dedication.

04:46:47.000 To fire Joe Biden, elect President Trump to save America.

04:46:56.000 And believe me, we know, and in fact, no one knows this better than President Trump and his entire family, that this election was not easy.

04:47:07.000 The left and their loyal stenographers in the mainstream media stooped to new and disgraceful lows.

04:47:14.000 They tried everything.

04:47:16.000 Vicious smears, unprecedented attacks on his family, unconstitutional impeachments, and illegal lawfare by a weaponized and corrupt justice system.

04:47:29.000 President Trump even faced an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

04:47:35.000 But by the grace of God, he prevailed and we are here today.

04:47:42.000 Americans know that God was truly watching over America and President Trump on that fateful day.

04:47:53.000 We will always remember that day in Pennsylvania, just like we will always remember November 5th, 2024, the once-in-a-lifetime victory of the most important election in history.

04:48:12.000 That was the day when President Trump delivered truly the greatest political comeback of all time, winning the popular vote with an overwhelming mandate to save America.

04:48:24.000 A mandate to make America strong again, safe again, healthy again, wealthy again, and to once and for all make America great again.

04:48:39.000 And President Trump has wasted no time delivering on the promises he made to the American people.

04:48:45.000 He has already accomplished more in four weeks than Joe Biden did in four years.

04:48:51.000 The tremendous results speak for themselves.

04:48:55.000 On day one, President Trump signed hundreds of executive orders securing our border, deporting illegals, unleashing American energy.

04:49:04.000 Ending woke DEI policies, lowering prices, increasing accountability, and ushering in a new golden age for the American people.

04:49:13.000 President Trump rightfully declared a national emergency at the border and deployed the military, including the 10th Mountain Division from my home district in upstate New York, to secure our nation.

04:49:27.000 Thank you to the soldiers and their families for saving our country and protecting our borders.

04:49:33.000 Climb to glory, Tenth Mountain!

04:49:40.000 President Trump also signed into law the Lakin-Riley Act, the first bill passed by our House Republican majority in Congress.

04:49:50.000 President Trump has ended catch and release, restored Remain in Mexico, restarted building the wall, and rightfully declared cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

04:50:06.000 President Trump is not only securing our nation, he is rebuilding the broken and failed Biden economy of inflation, malaise, and weakness.

04:50:16.000 President Trump is putting America first by demanding fair and reciprocal trade, unleashing American energy independence, cutting regulations, and demanding the government work for we the people as President Trump doges wasteful un-American spending.

04:50:33.000 And this is because President Trump knows that a strong, safe and prosperous America at home is a strong America abroad.

04:50:42.000 Our economic security, our border security, our energy security is also our national security.

04:50:50.000 And the world is watching as President Trump reasserts his America first peace through strength foreign policy.

04:50:58.000 And I'm so honored to have been nominated by President Trump to serve in his cabinet as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations as a part of this national security team.

04:51:10.000 Our team is already hard at work on behalf of the President and the American people at Turtle Bay as I finish my work to enact his agenda in Congress on behalf of my constituents and the American people.

04:51:23.000 When discussing this nomination with President Trump, the President shared with me that he sees great promise in the United Nations if, if, it focuses on its founding mission of international peace and security.

04:51:38.000 Just look at President Trump's record of international peace and security in his first term.

04:51:45.000 He negotiated the historic Abraham Accords, the largest step to peace in the Middle East in over a quarter of a century.

04:51:53.000 President Trump's maximum pressure campaign crippled Iran's capability to threaten instability in the region.

04:52:00.000 His administration marked the only time that Putin did not invade another country.

04:52:05.000 And there is no question that President Trump is the President of Peace and deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for the historic achievements of his first term alone.

04:52:24.000 And now look at what President Trump has already accomplished in just one month.

04:52:28.000 He secured the release of six American hostages in Venezuela, two Americans in Afghanistan, an American-Israeli citizen held in Hamas captivity, a Pennsylvania teacher in Russia, and an American citizen in Belarus.

04:52:42.000 The world knows that it is only because of President Trump that the innocent hostages, viciously taken by Hamas terrorists, are finally, finally coming home, including those today. 0.60

04:52:56.000 And President Trump is already effectively working to bring peace to the Russia-Ukraine war to stop the bloodshed.

04:53:11.000 He's restored maximum pressure on Iran and re-designated the Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization.

04:53:18.000 And the world is watching as every head of state is clamoring to meet with President Trump because the world knows America First is back.

04:53:35.000 And at the UN, we are already at work with President Trump delivering results.

04:53:40.000 We left the WHO, which covered up the truth about COVID. President Trump terminated the America Last Paris Climate Agreement.

04:53:54.000 President Trump rightfully withdrew from the UN Human Rights Council that is a corrupt farce run by the worst abusers on the planet.

04:54:06.000 The Trump administration imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court, an illegitimate court fueled by raging antisemitism and anti-Americanism.

04:54:17.000 And a top priority that I have worked on in Congress for years, President Trump defunded UNRWA, the pro-Hamas terrorist group that committed atrocities on October 7th.

04:54:33.000 And make no mistake, hear it now, as President Trump's United States ambassador to the United Nations, we will not only defund UNRWA, we will dismantle it.

04:54:44.000 President Trump also reinstated the Mexico City policy to ensure our hard-earned U.S. taxpayer dollars do not support foreign organizations that perform or promote abortions around the world.

04:55:03.000 Thank you.

04:55:07.000 The U.S. rejoined the Geneva Consensus Declaration to promote and strengthen opportunities for women and girls around the world and to protect the family as the fundamental unit of society.

04:55:25.000 And of course, our U.S. embassies have been instructed to fly the beautiful American flag and only our American flag.

04:55:37.000 This is moral leadership.

04:55:39.000 This is strong leadership.

04:55:41.000 This is President Trump's America first peace through strength.

04:55:45.000 Now I want to ask you, let me ask you this question.

04:55:49.000 Do you all remember that famous congressional hearing with the anti-Semitic university presidents from Harvard and Penn?

04:55:56.000 I should say former presidents after my questions.

04:56:01.000 Five down and so many to go.

04:56:04.000 And mark my words, That hearing is the type of strong moral leadership that I will deliver at the United Nations on day one.

04:56:18.000 And I know...

04:56:20.000 That I will be serving as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations and not the other way around.

04:56:27.000 And I will always stand up for the American people, American sovereignty, and our America First values.

04:56:34.000 That means I will always defend America's most precious ally, Israel.

04:56:39.000 I led the charge to expose the rot of anti-Semitism on college campuses, and I will lead the charge on behalf of President Trump to root out the rot of the true and I will lead the charge on behalf of President Trump to root out the rot of the This past week,

04:57:09.000 we continued to see with crystal clarity That our fight to support Israel and eradicate Hamas is a fight between good and evil, light and darkness, life and death. 0.78

04:57:22.000 The hearts of the world shattered to learn the horrific fate of hostages Oded Lifshitz, Shiri Bibas, and her two precious sons, Kefir and Ariel.

04:57:34.000 The world must never forget.

04:57:37.000 That Hamas terrorists savagely murdered over 1,200 innocent civilians, including women, children, the elderly, and babies, and took hundreds hostage, committing unspeakable atrocities against humanity on October 7th and thereafter.

04:57:54.000 And as we learn more about Hamas's evil murder, leading to this devastating loss of life of these innocent victims, We must be reminded that this must not be Israel's fight alone.

04:58:08.000 The heinous...

04:58:10.000 It will never be Israel's fight alone.

04:58:15.000 The absolutely heinous display of Hamas terrorists parading the coffins of murdered Israeli babies and lying about the remains of their mother to the cheers of a barbaric Animalistic pro-Hamas mob is an affront to all of humanity.

04:58:35.000 And it has never been more important to show the world's unequivocal support for Israel.

04:58:42.000 And it is clear that under President Trump's leadership, America stands steadfast in support of Israel and the Jewish people.

04:58:49.000 and we will not rest until every hostage is brought home and Hamas is eradicated.

04:58:56.000 At the UN, I will also work with President Trump, I will also

04:59:15.000 work with President Trump, Secretary Marco Rubio, Elon Musk and the Secretary Marco Rubio, Elon Musk and the Doge team to ensure every single dollar that we send to the United Nations is in line with the founding mission of actually promoting We will not fund terrorism.

04:59:31.000 We will not fund corruption.

04:59:33.000 We will not fund anti-Semitism.

04:59:35.000 and we will not fund anti-Americanism.

04:59:38.000 The United Nations will hear loudly and clearly that President Trump's America First Peace Through Strength agenda and record of results is back and it is here to stay.

05:00:01.000 President Trump has been relentless in pushing for a government that serves the interests of we, the American people, which is why he sent Doge to protect our hard-earned U.S. taxpayer dollars.

05:00:14.000 And let's take a moment to talk about DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency.

05:00:18.000 This initiative is as common sense and America first as it gets, and yet Democrats and the left mainstream media have spiraled into an utter state of panic, calling President Trump and Elon Musk a threat to democracy, when the truth is...

05:00:36.000 Doge is a threat to the swamp's bureaucracy.

05:00:40.000 Doge is draining the swamp just like President Trump said he would.

05:00:49.000 And how about this?

05:00:52.000 I think we need a global doge.

05:00:54.000 We must expose the reckless and anti-Semitic and anti-American spending at the United Nations, and we will.

05:01:03.000 So get ready.

05:01:04.000 We are just one month in.

05:01:06.000 And we will continue to work together to support the greatest president in the history of our country, President Donald J. Trump, to make America great again.

05:01:16.000 Thank you again to all the patriots here at CPAC and across the nation.

05:01:20.000 God bless you, God bless President Donald J. Trump, and God bless the United States of America.

05:01:26.000 Thank you.

05:05:25.000 Thank

05:05:52.000 you.

05:09:42.000 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome CPAC Senior Fellow Mercedes Schlapp and CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp.

05:09:50.000 Mary.

05:09:51.000 Thank you.

05:09:52.000 - Thank you. - Thank you for listening. - Somebody's clapping.

05:10:03.000 That's nice.

05:10:06.000 That's better.

05:10:07.000 Mike Lindell's clapping.

05:10:09.000 There we go.

05:10:11.000 Sarah's clapping.

05:10:13.000 Julie's clapping.

05:10:16.000 All right.

05:10:17.000 This one's from the heart, men and women of CPAC, and freedom lovers from around the world who are tuning in to this, what the national news media is calling the Conservative United Nations.

05:10:33.000 So how appropriate to have our next ambassador to the United Nations here with us today.

05:10:39.000 Ten years ago, I had this amazing opportunity.

05:10:45.000 To go to Trump Tower and meet with someone who was a hero of mine, Donald Trump in his big, beautiful office at the top of that big, beautiful tower.

05:10:56.000 He did something unusual.

05:10:58.000 He asked a lot of questions.

05:11:01.000 And I thought, he can't run for president.

05:11:03.000 He's too inquisitive and intellectual.

05:11:08.000 And after that, I remember being on MSNBC and being asked, why?

05:11:15.000 Donald Trump would run with all of the slurs that then was put before me on television.

05:11:22.000 And I remember in my brain thinking, this is the moment.

05:11:25.000 You're either going to start off by criticizing him or you're going to defend him.

05:11:32.000 And then this wonderful path started of standing up for this outsider and telling establishment Republicans and establishment conservatives that the old way was broken and it wasn't working.

05:11:48.000 And the men and women of CPAC and the students of CPAC welcomed Donald Trump with We've welcomed him 15 times to this stage, more than any other person.

05:12:04.000 We've stood on this stage and had the audacity to say that globalism would die.

05:12:11.000 And lo and behold, I think it just did.

05:12:16.000 And when Donald Trump decided to run for president again, we never listened to the siren songs, when people told us it was time to listen to someone new or take a different when people told us it was time to listen to someone We knew.

05:12:37.000 We knew in our hearts.

05:12:39.000 We knew in our souls.

05:12:40.000 That there was only one man ordained to do this most impossible of jobs.

05:12:47.000 And that was verified by the tragedy that occurred in Pennsylvania.

05:12:53.000 when Donald Trump got off the ground, stood up, showed us his measure of courage, and told the world that he would and told the world that he would fight.

05:13:15.000 For mercy and honor, for mercy in me, this is a great honor.

05:13:20.000 We've been doing this for like literally half our marriage.

05:13:23.000 It's been the greatest professional and personal privilege of our lives to be a part of the resurgence of America and the defense of freedom.

05:13:35.000 And this year, we're so proud to say that because of all of your hard work, America is back on track.

05:13:45.000 And at CPAC 2025, it is our honor to present to you your president and freedoms leader, President Donald J. Trump.

05:13:58.000 I hope to be an American where at least I know I'm free.

05:14:05.000 And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me.

05:14:11.000 And I gladly stand up next to you when they met her still today.

05:14:18.000 Because there ain't no doubt I love this land.

05:14:23.000 God bless the USA.

05:14:38.000 From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee.

05:14:44.000 Across the plains of Texas.

05:14:48.000 From sea to shining sea.

05:14:51.000 From Detroit down to Houston.

05:14:55.000 And New York to L.A.

05:14:58.000 Where there's pride in every American heart.

05:15:02.000 And it's time we stand and say.

05:15:05.000 That I'm proud to be an American.

05:15:11.000 Where at least I know I'm free.

05:15:15.000 And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me.

05:15:21.000 And I gladly stand up next to you.

05:15:25.000 And defend her still today.

05:15:28.000 Because there ain't no doubt I love this land.

05:15:32.000 God bless the USA.

05:15:36.000 And I'm proud to be an American.

05:15:44.000 And I'm proud to be an American.

05:15:45.000 Where at least I know I'm free.

05:15:48.000 And I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me.

05:15:55.000 And I gladly stand up next to you.

05:16:00.000 And defend her still today.

05:16:03.000 Because there ain't no doubt I love this land.

05:16:08.000 God bless the USA.

05:16:13.000 Thank you very much.

05:16:34.000 Thank you.

05:16:35.000 Thank you.

05:16:36.000 And a very A special hello to CPAC. It's been a long time.

05:16:43.000 We've loved being back, and it's hotter than ever.

05:16:47.000 This place is packed.

05:16:48.000 You've got to see outside.

05:16:49.000 They don't know what's happening.

05:16:52.000 They have no idea what's happening.

05:16:55.000 And a friend is here from Argentina, and a friend is here from Poland.

05:17:00.000 Stand up!

05:17:02.000 Great job.

05:17:07.000 Thank you.

05:17:08.000 Thank you very much.

05:17:10.000 Welcome back to the nation's capital where our movement is thriving, fighting, winning, and dominating Washington like never before.

05:17:18.000 Nobody's ever seen anything like this before.

05:17:21.000 They used to have a little smaller crowds here.

05:17:25.000 It's a little bigger. 0.96

05:17:27.000 The fraudsters, liars, cheaters, globalists, and deep state bureaucrats are being sent packing. 1.00

05:17:34.000 The illegal alien criminals are being sent home. 1.00

05:17:38.000 We're draining the swamp and we're restoring government by the people, for the people.

05:17:44.000 For years, Washington was controlled by a sinister group of radical left Marxists, warmongers, and corrupt special interests who drained our wealth, attacked our liberties, obliterated our borders, and sucked our country dry, not any longer.

05:18:04.000 But on November 5th, we stood up.

05:18:07.000 To all the corrupt forces that were destroying America, we took away their power.

05:18:12.000 We took away their confidence.

05:18:15.000 They lost their confidence, you know?

05:18:16.000 Did you ever watch?

05:18:17.000 They lost their confidence.

05:18:19.000 Oh, it's so nice to watch.

05:18:22.000 And we took back our country.

05:18:24.000 And we must be doing something right because we've got the highest poll numbers that I've ever had and that any Republican president has ever had.

05:18:34.000 And our approval rating is now the highest ever across all demographics.

05:18:46.000 Rasmussen just came out at 56%.

05:18:48.000 Insider Advantage, 56%.

05:18:51.000 RMG Research, 57%.

05:18:54.000 And we have many polls in the mid-60s, one at 71%.

05:18:58.000 We like that 71%.

05:19:00.000 And according to YouGov, a big deal, 70% of Americans believe that what we are doing Is right and we are keeping our promises.

05:19:16.000 That's all we're doing when you think is keeping our promises.

05:19:20.000 That's all we had to do.

05:19:22.000 And their promises weren't worthwhile to go and vote for.

05:19:26.000 They loved men playing in women's sports, open borders, little things like that. 0.97

05:19:32.000 But don't tell them.

05:19:33.000 Don't tell them.

05:19:35.000 Keep it quiet.

05:19:37.000 We'll tell them about a week before the next election.

05:19:41.000 Now keep it quiet.

05:19:43.000 Let them think it's a great thing what they're doing.

05:19:45.000 You saw Maine yesterday, right?

05:19:47.000 right, the governor of Maine.

05:19:48.000 She's fighting to keep men in women's sports. 1.00

05:19:58.000 You ever see what happens to a woman when a woman boxes a man who transitioned? 1.00

05:20:05.000 To womanhood?

05:20:06.000 Did you ever see what happened?

05:20:08.000 It's not pretty.

05:20:11.000 It's not pretty.

05:20:12.000 Let her do that fight. 1.00

05:20:14.000 Let them all do that fight.

05:20:16.000 Because I think that's about a 90-10 issue and I can't figure out who the 10% are.

05:20:21.000 Nobody can.

05:20:22.000 So today I want to say thank you to all of the incredible patriots of CPAC and all of the...

05:20:29.000 Incredible patriots in our country.

05:20:31.000 77 million, and it's actually much more than that, because despite that, they cheated like hell.

05:20:36.000 It was just too big to rig.

05:20:38.000 It was too big to rig.

05:20:42.000 77 million.

05:20:47.000 Remember you used to go, I said, look, we're leading in the polls by a lot.

05:20:50.000 Don't believe the polls.

05:20:51.000 Just go and vote.

05:20:52.000 You gotta vote.

05:20:53.000 We gotta make it too big to rig.

05:20:54.000 And they tried.

05:20:55.000 But it was too big to rig.

05:20:57.000 One of the great statements.

05:20:59.000 We love it.

05:20:59.000 Because everybody won and voted.

05:21:02.000 We fought through hell together.

05:21:04.000 But in the end, we achieved the great liberation of America.

05:21:08.000 We're liberating our country right now.

05:21:10.000 We're doing all these things that you're reading about.

05:21:13.000 We're liberating our country.

05:21:15.000 I first spoke to this gathering 14 years ago.

05:21:20.000 And I won your straw poll.

05:21:22.000 I didn't know anything about a straw poll.

05:21:24.000 They took this big straw poll, and I won by like 27 points.

05:21:28.000 And I figured, you know, that's good.

05:21:30.000 Maybe I should keep doing it.

05:21:32.000 And I did.

05:21:33.000 And I became president.

05:21:35.000 Isn't that great?

05:21:36.000 Who would think?

05:21:38.000 Who would think?

05:21:40.000 But he became president, too.

05:21:43.000 He's a MAGA guy, too.

05:21:44.000 Make Argentina great again, right?

05:21:47.000 Make Argentina great again.

05:21:52.000 I kept hearing about this man.

05:21:55.000 I kept hearing about this man in beautiful Argentina, and it is beautiful, but boy, did it have inflation.

05:22:02.000 Inflation made it less beautiful.

05:22:03.000 I hear you're doing fantastically.

05:22:05.000 We're very proud of you, actually.

05:22:07.000 And make Argentina credit.

05:22:11.000 Thank you very much.

05:22:13.000 Great honor to have you.

05:22:15.000 But now it's my honor to address you for the first time as your 47th president of the United States.

05:22:21.000 Great honor.

05:22:40.000 I want to begin by thanking Matt and Mercedes Schlapp for the incredible job they do and everyone they put together.

05:22:52.000 They put together an amazing team, the American Conservative Union, for organizing this event.

05:22:58.000 Oh, you have some big players here.

05:23:02.000 Senator Ted Cruz, Eric Schmidt, Jim Banks of Indiana.

05:23:09.000 Where's Eric?

05:23:10.000 Where is Eric?

05:23:12.000 Hello, Eric.

05:23:14.000 You can see Eric anywhere.

05:23:15.000 If he's right in the back of the room, he stands up.

05:23:18.000 They're all good.

05:23:19.000 These are great people.

05:23:20.000 Representatives Riley Moore, James Comer, Harriet Hagerman, Byron Donalds.

05:23:28.000 Our great Attorney General, she's gonna be great, Pam Bondi.

05:23:34.000 Where's Pam? 1.00

05:23:40.000 I don't know where she is.

05:23:41.000 So many people.

05:23:43.000 So many people.

05:23:45.000 Secretary Doug Burgum.

05:23:48.000 Secretary Chris Wright.

05:23:49.000 Oh, he's going to get that energy out of the ground.

05:23:52.000 Secretary Scott Turner.

05:23:55.000 Our next ambassador to the United Nations, Elise Stefanik.

05:24:02.000 Who just gave a great speech, by the way.

05:24:06.000 A very good friend of mine.

05:24:07.000 Is this guy Central Casting, though?

05:24:10.000 Tom Homan.

05:24:11.000 Is he central, Kester?

05:24:12.000 Where is it?

05:24:18.000 Hello, Tom.

05:24:20.000 How could I love a guy like that?

05:24:23.000 But I do.

05:24:25.000 He's doing a great job.

05:24:26.000 Thank you, Tom, very much.

05:24:27.000 Thank you.

05:24:28.000 I appreciate it.

05:24:30.000 Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders.

05:24:36.000 Thank you, Sarah.

05:24:37.000 Thank you.

05:24:39.000 And Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday.

05:24:44.000 I love that name.

05:24:46.000 We're also honored to be joined by President Duda of Poland, who's a fantastic man and a great friend of mine.

05:24:55.000 And we got 84% of the Polish people that voted for us, so you must be doing something right, huh? 1.00

05:25:03.000 Hanging out with Trump.

05:25:07.000 And again, President Millet of Argentina.

05:25:10.000 Thank you very much.

05:25:12.000 Thank you very much.

05:25:15.000 What a great guy.

05:25:18.000 And the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico.

05:25:24.000 Thank you, Robert.

05:25:25.000 Thank you.

05:25:26.000 Nice to see you.

05:25:28.000 The leader of the UK Reform Party, who, by the way, did really well in that last election.

05:25:35.000 I've been his friend for a long time, and I wasn't sure, am I supposed to be his friend or not?

05:25:40.000 But it never mattered to me if he did well or not.

05:25:42.000 I always liked him, but it's easier to like him when he got the kind of votes he got.

05:25:46.000 He really took it by storm, and they say he's going to do even better this time.

05:25:51.000 Nigel Farage.

05:25:52.000 Where is Nigel?

05:25:54.000 Thank you, Nigel.

05:26:02.000 Thank you.

05:26:02.000 What a great guy.

05:26:04.000 The leader of Spain's Vox Party, Santiago Obiscal.

05:26:12.000 Thank you, Santiago.

05:26:14.000 Thank you.

05:26:15.000 Thank you very much.

05:26:16.000 I thought that was you.

05:26:18.000 Thank you very much.

05:26:19.000 Great job you're doing.

05:26:20.000 And a friend of mine, Eduardo Bolsonaro of Brazil, the Chamber of Deputies.

05:26:30.000 Thank you.

05:26:31.000 Thank you.

05:26:31.000 Say hello to your father.

05:26:33.000 Thank you very much.

05:26:34.000 Great family.

05:26:35.000 Great gentleman and your great family.

05:26:37.000 And our great first lady, Melania, is watching us right now on television.

05:26:42.000 So give her a hand. 0.87

05:26:44.000 Give her a hand. 0.99

05:26:47.000 Whoa! 0.71

05:26:49.000 Thank you.

05:26:56.000 Thank you.

05:26:57.000 Oh, she's going to be happy.

05:26:59.000 That's so nice.

05:27:02.000 We love our First Lady.

05:27:04.000 Everybody does.

05:27:05.000 With the help of so many incredible supporters here today, we're going to forge a new and lasting political majority that will drive American politics for generations to come.

05:27:16.000 I think we're going to do fantastically well in the midterms.

05:27:19.000 You know, in theory, the one that wins the presidency does not do well in the midterms, but I think this is going to be a change.

05:27:26.000 We're at a level.

05:27:28.000 I don't think we've been at this level maybe ever as the Republican Party.

05:27:31.000 We're a bigger, better, stronger party than ever before.

05:27:35.000 More people in our party than ever before.

05:27:38.000 But the people have given us a resounding mandate for dramatic change in Washington, and we are going to deliver it.

05:27:46.000 We're going to use it.

05:27:47.000 And we're going to make America great again by using it.

05:27:50.000 So it's going to be something.

05:27:52.000 But think of it, at the presidential level, we won the popular vote.

05:27:56.000 By millions and millions of votes, we swept all seven swing states.

05:28:01.000 Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada.

05:28:09.000 All by great margins.

05:28:11.000 We won 85% of all of the counties in America.

05:28:15.000 That means that map was red.

05:28:17.000 Did you ever see the map?

05:28:18.000 Did you see the certified map?

05:28:19.000 Where is it?

05:28:20.000 I want to see a certified map.

05:28:24.000 It's all red.

05:28:26.000 You can hardly find the blue.

05:28:28.000 Think of this.

05:28:29.000 They won 525 counties, and we won 2,600 counties.

05:28:39.000 It's the biggest margin ever recorded.

05:28:42.000 And incredibly, for the first time ever, all 50 states shifted toward the Republican Party.

05:28:47.000 It's never happened before.

05:28:51.000 So it was indeed.

05:28:54.000 Too big to rig.

05:28:55.000 We won the largest number of African-American votes in Republican history, by far.

05:29:02.000 We won the largest number of Hispanic American votes, any Republican ever.

05:29:08.000 Hispanic Americans, we love you!

05:29:10.000 The energy, the brilliance of Hispanic Americans.

05:29:15.000 We won all of the cities and towns along the Texas border, whereas before I ran, we won none.

05:29:21.000 We never used to win any.

05:29:22.000 I got a call from our great governor of Texas who said, President, you just won every single town along the Texas border to Mexico.

05:29:35.000 I said, oh, is that good?

05:29:37.000 He said, it hasn't happened since Reconstruction.

05:29:41.000 I said, define Reconstruction for me. 0.84

05:29:43.000 He said, that means essentially the Civil War.

05:29:46.000 That's a long time.

05:29:48.000 But that was when I first heard about it, actually.

05:29:52.000 Our party has become the proud voice of hardworking citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed.

05:30:00.000 And I think one of the main reasons, not that we're conservative or not that we're anything else, we are the party of common sense.

05:30:09.000 It's about common sense, right?

05:30:11.000 It's all about common sense.

05:30:14.000 Over the past month, we've confirmed an all-star team of warriors, patriots, visionaries, and...

05:30:20.000 Put the America First agenda into action.

05:30:23.000 I see Doug Burgum sitting right over there.

05:30:25.000 He was so good.

05:30:26.000 I looked at him.

05:30:27.000 I said, I got to have him here.

05:30:29.000 I got to have him.

05:30:30.000 You know, he was a great governor.

05:30:33.000 He's involved with a little thing called energy.

05:30:35.000 He's got the Department of Interior.

05:30:38.000 And Chris Wright has the Department of Energy.

05:30:42.000 So Chris has no energy.

05:30:44.000 And Doug has all of the energy.

05:30:45.000 Chris has more interior, but he doesn't have...

05:30:48.000 So I merged him.

05:30:49.000 So now you have an energy guy, and you have the guy with all the energy, and you're going to drill baby drill, aren't you, huh?

05:30:57.000 Drill baby drill. 1.00

05:31:03.000 And Catherine, stand up. 1.00

05:31:05.000 His wife is incredible.

05:31:07.000 She is such an incredible woman.

05:31:09.000 Incredible woman.

05:31:11.000 You got very lucky, Doug.

05:31:14.000 It's good to be successful, isn't it, Doug?

05:31:20.000 She's an incredible woman.

05:31:22.000 He's an incredible guy.

05:31:23.000 In addition to the great cabinet secretaries we have here today, we confirmed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to end the woke insanity and rebuild our military.

05:31:36.000 Pete is fantastic.

05:31:39.000 Thank you.

05:31:40.000 To stop the weaponization of federal law enforcement, I know about that, I think, better than any human being on Earth.

05:31:46.000 This week we swore in a new director of the FBI, somebody that everybody wanted, Cash Petal.

05:31:54.000 Cash is great.

05:32:05.000 He's a popular guy.

05:32:08.000 He went through with the blessing of a lot of good people, too.

05:32:13.000 I'll tell you, it was great.

05:32:18.000 Politicalization of our intelligence agencies, we confirmed Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who is something very respected, highly respected.

05:32:31.000 And to make America healthy again, we confirmed Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Great guy.

05:32:48.000 We need him.

05:32:51.000 We need him.

05:32:52.000 You know, there's a number on autism, as an example, with children, autism.

05:32:57.000 And you go back 15 years.

05:33:00.000 It was from 10 to 20,000.

05:33:03.000 You had like one in 10 to 20,000.

05:33:08.000 Some say 10, some say 20, but it was in that vicinity.

05:33:11.000 That's a big vicinity.

05:33:13.000 Now it's one.

05:33:16.000 One in 36 babies have autism.

05:33:20.000 One in 36. Think it was one in probably 20,000 people.

05:33:25.000 Now it's one in 36. There's something wrong.

05:33:30.000 Something's wrong.

05:33:31.000 And Bobby is going to find it.

05:33:34.000 Working with Dr. Oz, by the way.

05:33:36.000 Working with Dr. Oz.

05:33:38.000 Together we've achieved more in four weeks than most administrations achieve in four years.

05:33:48.000 We made a lot of progress.

05:33:50.000 I heard O'Reilly last night say Donald Trump for the first four weeks is the greatest president ever in the history of our country.

05:33:58.000 That was O'Reilly.

05:34:00.000 Bill O'Reilly is all right.

05:34:05.000 You know who he said second was?

05:34:07.000 George Washington.

05:34:08.000 That's not bad.

05:34:09.000 I beat George Washington.

05:34:11.000 I love beating George Washington.

05:34:14.000 Thank you, Bill.

05:34:16.000 On our first day in office, we declared a national emergency at our southern border.

05:34:21.000 After years of politicians using our military to defend foreign borders while leaving our country defenseless and helpless, we deployed a group of people, active duty troops, to defend our border and repel the invasion of our country.

05:34:38.000 This was an invasion.

05:34:39.000 You know, we had a great first term, a really great first term, and I called it an invasion, and we had great numbers, but now we have the best numbers we've ever had.

05:34:48.000 We've never had numbers like this.

05:34:50.000 We've done it all in four weeks.

05:34:52.000 Think of it.

05:34:52.000 That was Tom Holman, Kristi Noem, the whole group.

05:34:57.000 When day one I ended the catch and release, I reinstated Remain in Mexico when I signed an order that will end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens. 0.96

05:35:10.000 Because it wasn't meant for these children.

05:35:15.000 It wasn't meant for people that escaped or invaded, came into our country illegally. 0.96

05:35:21.000 It was meant for the children of slaves. 0.97

05:35:24.000 Because when it was done, many, many years ago, it was during a very tough period in this country's history.

05:35:33.000 And that was meant for the children of slaves. 0.56

05:35:36.000 I wish people would understand that so they could...

05:35:38.000 Get this thing approved.

05:35:40.000 And we don't have millions and millions of people coming into our country and they shouldn't be here. 1.00

05:35:45.000 This week I also cancelled temporary protected status for migrants from Haiti.

05:35:54.000 They're pouring into our country. 1.00

05:35:57.000 Pouring in.

05:36:00.000 If I weren't elected president, there'd be nobody in Haiti anymore.

05:36:04.000 They were pouring in at levels.

05:36:06.000 From other countries too.

05:36:08.000 All over Africa, the Congo, all over South America.

05:36:14.000 And they were coming in from prisons and mental institutions and insane asylums, jails and gang members.

05:36:23.000 You have to see gang members, drug lords, people that are drug addicted. 1.00

05:36:28.000 They were sending them all into our ridiculous and very stupid Biden open border. 1.00

05:36:35.000 Our border czar was Kamala. 1.00

05:36:37.000 I haven't said that name in a while.

05:36:40.000 I haven't said that name.

05:36:42.000 No, I haven't said that name in a while.

05:36:45.000 Kamala.

05:36:47.000 I'll bet nobody knows her last name.

05:36:49.000 Nobody ever knows her last name.

05:36:51.000 Even during the campaign, you'd have to say Kamala.

05:36:54.000 It's strange, you know, a little different name.

05:36:57.000 Kamala.

05:36:58.000 Because her last name was Harris.

05:37:01.000 I used to say Senator Harris.

05:37:04.000 Nobody knew who the hell I was talking about.

05:37:06.000 So I had to go Kamala.

05:37:09.000 But think of it, I was beating Joe badly.

05:37:11.000 Really badly.

05:37:13.000 And they changed him.

05:37:14.000 I'm the only one that ever had to beat two people.

05:37:17.000 I had to beat two.

05:37:21.000 We beat two we.

05:37:23.000 I didn't beat.

05:37:23.000 You beat.

05:37:25.000 You beat two people.

05:37:28.000 No, he was doing badly.

05:37:29.000 That's like...

05:37:30.000 The great Dana White, he has a fight, and one guy's doing really badly, so when they take him out, they put another guy in the fight, the same guy that's...

05:37:36.000 I had that.

05:37:40.000 Never happened before.

05:37:41.000 A lot of things we do never happen before.

05:37:43.000 Do you ever notice that?

05:37:44.000 We're the first in everything.

05:37:46.000 So we beat two candidates.

05:37:48.000 They said, who do you run against?

05:37:49.000 Well, we ran against Biden, and we ran against Kamala Harris.

05:37:54.000 But illegal border crossings now have plummeted by almost 100%.

05:37:58.000 The Borders are never called the border.

05:38:01.000 Never called the great people of the border.

05:38:03.000 They have unbelievable...

05:38:05.000 I called them so much they couldn't take my calls.

05:38:06.000 They hated me.

05:38:08.000 But then they became to love me.

05:38:10.000 You know why?

05:38:10.000 Because the border people want to have great borders.

05:38:13.000 But you have to call them on occasion.

05:38:15.000 How are we doing today?

05:38:17.000 Pete, how are we doing?

05:38:19.000 You have to call.

05:38:21.000 And we called the right guys.

05:38:22.000 I became friends.

05:38:23.000 You know, the Border Patrol endorsed me.

05:38:25.000 And these people, you have no idea.

05:38:28.000 They weren't supposed to, because you're not supposed to do that.

05:38:32.000 I don't think you're allowed to do it, actually.

05:38:33.000 They did it anyway.

05:38:34.000 They said, this is crazy.

05:38:37.000 But these are great people and ICE and our general law enforcement and, by the way, our great, great firemen and firewomen, too.

05:38:46.000 They were great.

05:38:53.000 They all endorsed us.

05:38:54.000 With the police, we got high 90s in terms of, and many of them were unionized, you know?

05:39:00.000 We have a young lady who's right now going for the Department of Labor, and she tends to be a little bit on the slightly left of center. 1.00

05:39:13.000 And everybody said, why did I do that?

05:39:15.000 I said, you know why I did that?

05:39:17.000 Because...

05:39:18.000 Unions like her, and labor likes her, and a lot of people like her, and she's very solid, very strong, and she's going to do the right thing.

05:39:25.000 But they all voted for us.

05:39:27.000 They didn't vote for me.

05:39:27.000 They voted for us.

05:39:29.000 We got the Teamsters.

05:39:30.000 We got the firefighters.

05:39:31.000 We got the police.

05:39:32.000 We got the auto workers.

05:39:34.000 We're so great.

05:39:35.000 We had tremendous support, so I think it's nice to give them a person in the center, because that's what she's going to be very good, I think.

05:39:45.000 A lot of people say, why'd you do that?

05:39:47.000 I said, because I want to do something nice for these people that voted for me.

05:39:51.000 Oh, gee, what a great political move that was.

05:39:54.000 Now they're all saying, what a great political move.

05:39:56.000 No, it's all common sense.

05:39:58.000 Remember that?

05:40:00.000 Remember that?

05:40:01.000 Sean O'Brien was fantastic.

05:40:03.000 The whole group, they were great.

05:40:05.000 Over the past few weeks, we've begun the largest deportation and operation in American history, larger even than that of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a very moderate man, but he was very strong in that.

05:40:17.000 He didn't like people running into our country and taking over our country.

05:40:22.000 I'll tell you, I had four years.

05:40:23.000 I don't know if you had this.

05:40:24.000 I couldn't stand it!

05:40:28.000 Don't get angry.

05:40:29.000 Donald, don't get angry, please.

05:40:31.000 I couldn't stand it!

05:40:35.000 Watching these people come in from jails and mental institutions and the worst criminals in the street, gang members being dropped off in buses and bused into our country, I couldn't stand it!

05:40:50.000 So I said, I'm going to run for president again.

05:40:53.000 And now we don't have that problem.

05:40:57.000 Now we don't have that problem anymore.

05:41:00.000 We don't have that problem anymore.

05:41:09.000 We now have the best border we've ever had.

05:41:11.000 And by the way, if they can ever find my world's favorite chart ever in history, I'll show you what it was when I left.

05:41:19.000 And now it's even slightly better.

05:41:22.000 Can you drop that chart, do you think?

05:41:23.000 I don't know.

05:41:24.000 I never tell them about this, but they used to drop it like magic.

05:41:28.000 If they can, they'll drop it.

05:41:29.000 Who the hell knows?

05:41:30.000 But it's my favorite chart.

05:41:32.000 My favorite chart in history.

05:41:34.000 We're liberating communities like Aurora, Colorado and Springfield, Ohio, that have been occupied by illegal alien criminals from all over the world. 0.95

05:41:47.000 We're rescuing the Americans whose jobs have been stolen, whose wages have been robbed, and whose way of life has been absolutely destroyed.

05:41:58.000 And under the Trump administration, our country will not be turned into a dumping ground.

05:42:02.000 We're not going to do it.

05:42:04.000 We're going to have a great country again.

05:42:05.000 It's going to happen soon.

05:42:06.000 A lot sooner than you think.

05:42:08.000 And we're going to have so much money coming in from tariffs.

05:42:11.000 Oh.

05:42:13.000 You're going to say, your senators and your congressmen are going to say, please, sir, please.

05:42:18.000 You're making us look so bad.

05:42:20.000 We have so much money coming in.

05:42:22.000 I didn't know this was going to happen.

05:42:24.000 Please don't do this to us.

05:42:25.000 We look very bad.

05:42:28.000 But they're great.

05:42:29.000 They're doing well.

05:42:29.000 I tell you, the Republican senators just...

05:42:32.000 They're sticking together.

05:42:33.000 The Republican congressmen and women are sticking together.

05:42:38.000 Every once in a while, you have one that wants a little action or something.

05:42:43.000 I don't know what it is.

05:42:44.000 It's so sad to see.

05:42:46.000 I just hate to see it.

05:42:47.000 I hate to see it.

05:42:49.000 But they're sticking together.

05:42:51.000 One thing about the Democrats, they have rotten, horrible policy, the worst policy in history, but they stick together.

05:43:00.000 We have great policy, but sometimes they don't stick.

05:43:02.000 But they've been sticking for us.

05:43:03.000 They've been sticking.

05:43:04.000 And I think the speaker and the leader have done a fantastic job.

05:43:09.000 That's Thune and Johnson.

05:43:11.000 And I think they've done two guys really working hard and doing a...

05:43:15.000 They're really doing a great job.

05:43:17.000 But we have a lot to stick with.

05:43:20.000 We have a lot to stick together for because what we've done has never been done before.

05:43:24.000 Nobody's ever seen anything like this.

05:43:26.000 And nobody's ever seen four weeks like we've had.

05:43:29.000 Especially the four weeks, the first four weeks.

05:43:32.000 You know, that's like if you golf, when you sink that first four-footer in the first hole, it gives you confidence in the next hole, you sink another one.

05:43:40.000 Now you go into that third hole and you can't, and by the time you get to the fifth hole, you feel you can't miss, right?

05:43:45.000 Like a baseball player, he gets up and he hits that first one, and then the second at bat, he hits that one.

05:43:51.000 And, you know, you get...

05:43:53.000 And we have great confidence.

05:43:54.000 And they've lost their confidence, as I said.

05:43:56.000 They've really lost their confidence.

05:43:58.000 I watched them. 0.99

05:43:58.000 They're really screwed up. 0.99

05:43:59.000 I watched this MSNBC, which is a threat to democracy, actually. 0.99

05:44:04.000 They're stone cold, but they're stuttering. 0.99

05:44:09.000 They're all screwed up. 1.00

05:44:10.000 They're all mentally screwed up. 1.00

05:44:11.000 They don't know what... 1.00

05:44:12.000 Their ratings have gone down the tubes.

05:44:14.000 I don't even talk about CNN. CNN's sort of like...

05:44:17.000 I don't know. 1.00

05:44:18.000 They're pathetic, actually. 1.00

05:44:21.000 But MSNBC was mean. 1.00

05:44:22.000 Their ratings are absolutely down.

05:44:24.000 There's Rachel Maddow.

05:44:25.000 What does she have?

05:44:26.000 She's got nothing.

05:44:28.000 Nothing.

05:44:29.000 She took a sabbatical where she worked one day a week.

05:44:33.000 They paid her a lot of money.

05:44:34.000 She gets no ratings.

05:44:36.000 I should go against her in the ratings because I'll tell you, she gets no ratings. 0.96

05:44:41.000 All she does is to talk about Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.

05:44:44.000 All different subjects.

05:44:46.000 Trump this, Trump that. 0.71

05:44:47.000 But these people are really, I mean, they lie.

05:44:51.000 They shouldn't be allowed to lie every night.

05:44:53.000 They are really a vehicle of the Democrat Party.

05:44:57.000 They should be paying.

05:45:00.000 Is that Gordon?

05:45:01.000 Yes, is that Gordon?

05:45:02.000 The great Gordon Chang?

05:45:03.000 Is that Gordon?

05:45:03.000 Stand up, Gordon.

05:45:07.000 Wow.

05:45:09.000 We have everybody here today.

05:45:12.000 Thank you very much.

05:45:14.000 How am I doing on China?

05:45:16.000 Am I doing good?

05:45:17.000 Am I doing good on China?

05:45:20.000 Tell you one thing.

05:45:21.000 Nobody's ever done like I've done on China.

05:45:23.000 Nobody ever let people know what was happening with respect to China.

05:45:27.000 And I happen to like President Xi.

05:45:30.000 And I have tremendous respect for the people of China.

05:45:34.000 I love the people of China.

05:45:35.000 But we've been treated very unfairly by China and many other countries.

05:45:41.000 And we're not being...

05:45:43.000 Fairly treated anymore.

05:45:44.000 We had that down to a science in the first term, and then they lost it.

05:45:49.000 You know, we lost over a trillion dollars to China this last year under Biden.

05:45:53.000 Crooked Joe Biden.

05:45:54.000 What do we like better, Crooked Joe or Sleepy Joe?

05:45:58.000 Ready?

05:45:59.000 Ready?

05:46:00.000 Crooked Joe or Sleepy?

05:46:01.000 Ready?

05:46:02.000 Crooked Joe!

05:46:08.000 Sleepy Joe!

05:46:12.000 Got to stay with Crook.

05:46:15.000 He had one ability that I didn't have.

05:46:18.000 He could do something that I couldn't do.

05:46:20.000 I don't say that because he was a horrible golfer.

05:46:22.000 Remember he challenged me during the debate to a golf man?

05:46:25.000 He said, I'm a six handicap.

05:46:26.000 I said, you're not a 36 handicap. 1.00

05:46:30.000 He said he's a six.

05:46:31.000 And then he said, well, I'm eight.

05:46:33.000 Remember?

05:46:33.000 I said, that was quick.

05:46:34.000 Picked up two strokes.

05:46:38.000 He said, no, I'm an eight, but he's not a 36 handicap, but he had one ability that was amazing.

05:46:43.000 He could go with cameras on him, television, fake news on him, probably because he knows they wouldn't cover it badly.

05:46:49.000 You know, they covered him as well as you can cover him.

05:46:51.000 How the hell can you cover the guy well?

05:46:53.000 But he had this incredible ability.

05:46:56.000 He could barely walk in the sand.

05:46:58.000 Somebody thought he looked great in a bathing suit.

05:47:03.000 And he'd walk in the sand pulling a thing that weighed about six ounces.

05:47:06.000 You know those?

05:47:07.000 Aluminum.

05:47:08.000 See, aluminum's very good.

05:47:10.000 A child, it's meant for children and very old people to lift, right? 1.00

05:47:15.000 So he would put it down, and he'd put it down, and he'd fall into it, and he'd immediately fall asleep in front of the media.

05:47:22.000 I could never do that.

05:47:23.000 That's the only thing.

05:47:25.000 That's the only thing.

05:47:26.000 I could never do it. 0.98

05:47:27.000 Now, he was Sleepy Joe, but he was crooked as hell. 0.91

05:47:31.000 You know, there's no question. 0.99

05:47:32.000 He was a sleepy, crooked guy. 1.00

05:47:37.000 Terrible, terrible president. 0.99

05:47:42.000 He was the worst president in the history of our country. 0.99

05:47:45.000 I don't care, I'll say it.

05:47:48.000 Jimmy Carter passed away recently and he passed away a happy man.

05:47:53.000 He was a happy man when he passed away because he said that it's not even close.

05:48:01.000 Joe was the worst, and believe me, I have to clean up the mess.

05:48:04.000 I'm cleaning up the mess, and it is a mess on the border with inflation. 1.00

05:48:09.000 Every single thing he touched turned to shit, okay? 0.99

05:48:15.000 Everything. 1.00

05:48:18.000 It's true.

05:48:19.000 It's true.

05:48:28.000 Thank you.

05:48:30.000 That's true.

05:48:31.000 Now Franklin Graham's angry at me.

05:48:34.000 You know that.

05:48:35.000 Franklin wrote me a letter.

05:48:37.000 He said, I love your speeches.

05:48:38.000 I love them.

05:48:39.000 I love them so much.

05:48:40.000 But they'd be better if you would never use foul language.

05:48:44.000 And I told him, I said, Franklin, you know, Franklin Graham's a great guy, by the way, does a great job.

05:48:50.000 The son of the great Billy Graham, right?

05:48:53.000 But I said to Franklin, you know, sometimes you need it for emphasis.

05:48:59.000 And he said, no, no.

05:49:01.000 They'd be even better if you wouldn't use any bad language.

05:49:04.000 That's not really a terrible word, you know.

05:49:06.000 But that's a much more appropriate word.

05:49:08.000 What word would I use to describe?

05:49:12.000 What word could I use?

05:49:15.000 And we have to be truthful, too.

05:49:17.000 So, you know.

05:49:19.000 All countries are now taking their illegal aliens back, even those that stated strongly, we will never take them back. 0.99

05:49:27.000 Don't ever send them to us.

05:49:30.000 But they said that during the Biden administration.

05:49:32.000 They never said it during my administration.

05:49:34.000 Venezuela's taking them back.

05:49:36.000 They're all...

05:49:37.000 Colombia's taking them back.

05:49:38.000 Remember, Colombia said, we will not... 0.64

05:49:40.000 We will not take them back, he said.

05:49:44.000 And within about 13 minutes, I think, we would love to take them back.

05:49:49.000 In fact, we will send our planes to pick them up.

05:49:51.000 Remember?

05:49:54.000 And they said, what happened?

05:49:57.000 What happened?

05:50:00.000 And you see these Venezuelan planes loaded up with some real nice people.

05:50:04.000 You wouldn't have wanted to be the pilot on any of those planes.

05:50:09.000 But they know we're not playing games.

05:50:11.000 And just this week, I officially designated bloodthirsty cartels and murderous gangs as foreign terrorist organizations, something which Biden didn't want to do and nobody wanted to do.

05:50:23.000 It's true.

05:50:25.000 The full might and power of the federal government will now be dedicated to eradicating MS-13 Trendy Aragua.

05:50:35.000 That's the Venezuelan prison gangs.

05:50:37.000 These are very nice fellows.

05:50:38.000 The only thing good about them is they make our criminals look like nice people.

05:50:42.000 It's true.

05:50:43.000 Remember when they used to say, people that come in from foreign countries are nice people.

05:50:49.000 These are wonderful people.

05:50:51.000 These are good people.

05:50:52.000 They're not murderers.

05:50:53.000 They're not terrible.

05:50:55.000 These people make us look like babies, okay?

05:50:59.000 You know the Hells Angels? 0.97

05:51:01.000 They're among the nicest people on Earth when you compare them to these thugs.

05:51:05.000 And the Hells Angels actually love our country, if you can believe that.

05:51:09.000 They actually do.

05:51:13.000 But their members and their leaders in the United States will be hunted down.

05:51:19.000 I'm talking about MS-13.

05:51:21.000 They're hunting them down.

05:51:22.000 We removed...

05:51:23.000 Tens of thousands, MS-13, Tren de Uruguay, rooted out, arrested and expelled from our soil like the savage monsters that they are.

05:51:36.000 We don't have anybody coming up from Argentina.

05:51:39.000 Nobody's coming up from Argentina.

05:51:42.000 To facilitate the mass removal of criminal aliens, I also issued an executive order to make available the full capacity in detention.

05:51:51.000 We're going to use Guantanamo Bay.

05:51:53.000 We have a detention facility that's actually massive.

05:51:56.000 Nobody even knew it existed.

05:51:58.000 Holds thousands of thousands of prisoners.

05:52:01.000 We never used it.

05:52:02.000 Before long years, you had a president who put illegal aliens up in penthouse suites and beautiful hotels on Park Avenue, on Madison Avenue, on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

05:52:14.000 Now you have a president who is stamping their ticket to Gitmo.

05:52:18.000 What a one-way trip back to the places from which they came.

05:52:22.000 Wonderful places.

05:52:24.000 Big difference.

05:52:26.000 My administration is also moving swiftly to save the U.S. economy from the train wreck of inflation and worse that Joe Biden created.

05:52:36.000 I withdrew from the one-sided Paris Climate Accord.

05:52:40.000 It was a disaster.

05:52:43.000 That was a disaster.

05:52:45.000 I terminated the Green News scam.

05:52:49.000 One of the greatest hoaxes ever played on this country is the Green News scam. 0.99

05:52:54.000 We spent trillions of dollars on this nonsense, and just a total hoax.

05:53:01.000 It really set back our country, I want to tell you, monetarily and every other way.

05:53:06.000 And I canceled Joe Biden's insane electric vehicle mandate, where everybody has to have it electric.

05:53:14.000 And if you want an electric car, get an electric car.

05:53:17.000 If you want a gasoline-powered car, if you want to have a hybrid, you get it.

05:53:22.000 The only thing you can't do is a hydrogen-powered car.

05:53:27.000 You know why?

05:53:28.000 They said it really works great, but when it doesn't work, you never find the body.

05:53:32.000 It's a bad...

05:53:33.000 That's a bad sign.

05:53:36.000 You know, when it doesn't work, they found the body on a tree about 250 yards up the road.

05:53:41.000 It's seriously bad.

05:53:43.000 So we'll leave hydrogen out of it for a little while, I think.

05:53:46.000 Maybe permanently.

05:53:47.000 I'd say permanently.

05:53:49.000 To crush inflation by slashing spending, I imposed an immediate federal hiring freeze, a federal regulation freeze, and a foreign aid freeze were given to countries that hate us.

05:54:01.000 We're giving billions and billions of dollars to countries that hate us.

05:54:06.000 And I signed an order creating the Department of Government Efficiency.

05:54:10.000 You probably haven't heard of it.

05:54:13.000 Which is now waging war on government waste, fraud, and abuse.

05:54:17.000 And Elon is doing a great job.

05:54:20.000 He's doing a great job.

05:54:22.000 We love Elon, don't we, Ezekiel?

05:54:30.000 He's a character.

05:54:32.000 With his son, X. We love X. He's the only one kid get away.

05:54:39.000 His son's really named X. He's the only one who can get away with naming his son X. If we ever did it, they'd say, you're crazy.

05:54:49.000 But he's great.

05:54:49.000 He's doing a great job, and he doesn't need this either.

05:54:53.000 He doesn't need it, but he wants to see.

05:54:55.000 You know, he's a patriot.

05:54:57.000 People said, well, what official position does he have?

05:54:59.000 I said, patriot.

05:55:01.000 They didn't know.

05:55:03.000 They said, that was good.

05:55:05.000 He's a patriot.

05:55:06.000 Here are some of the flagrant scams that, as an example, they've spent money on and we've been able to recapture for a large dose of it at least.

05:55:15.000 $520 million for a consultant to...

05:55:19.000 $520 million.

05:55:23.000 $520 million.

05:55:24.000 You know, when I hire consultants and they just take advantage of me, it's a horrible thing to watch.

05:55:29.000 And I give them $25,000.

05:55:31.000 I feel I'm overpaying.

05:55:32.000 These guys got $520 million.

05:55:35.000 Environmental, social, governance, and investments in Africa.

05:55:41.000 $25 million to promote biodiversity, conservation, and socially responsible behavior in Colombia.

05:55:49.000 This is Colombia, South America, not Columbia University.

05:55:53.000 Of course, that might be worse, actually, based on their actions.

05:55:57.000 $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion of...

05:56:03.000 Sedentary migrants. 1.00

05:56:04.000 Nobody knows where, who are they?

05:56:07.000 Where do they come from?

05:56:08.000 Just sedentary migrants. 1.00

05:56:10.000 Nobody even knows what a sedentary migrant is. 0.99

05:56:13.000 If they were sedentary, they wouldn't be a migrant, right? 1.00

05:56:17.000 They wouldn't move.

05:56:19.000 No, they wouldn't move.

05:56:21.000 They'd stay in the same place.

05:56:23.000 Right, Doug?

05:56:25.000 $42 million for social and behavior change in Uganda.

05:56:31.000 $10 million for Mozambique medical male circumcisions.

05:56:36.000 Why are we going to Mozambique to do circumcisions?

05:56:41.000 That's a lot of money.

05:56:43.000 $14 million for improving public procurement in Serbia.

05:56:47.000 Here's a beauty.

05:56:49.000 $486 million to a consortium of elections and political process strengthening ideas of which...

05:56:58.000 $22 million goes to inclusive and participatory political process in Moldova.

05:57:05.000 $29 million goes to strengthen the political landscape and help them out so that they can vote for a radical left communist in Bangladesh.

05:57:16.000 You had to see who they supported.

05:57:18.000 Yeah, you would believe it.

05:57:20.000 Nobody in this room would be in that group.

05:57:23.000 $20 million for fiscal federalism.

05:57:27.000 And $19 million for biodiversity in Nepal.

05:57:32.000 $47 million for improving learning outcomes in Asia.

05:57:37.000 $18 million for helping India with its elections.

05:57:43.000 Why the hell?

05:57:44.000 Why don't we just go to all paper ballots, let them help us with their elections, right?

05:57:49.000 Voter ID. Wouldn't that be nice?

05:57:54.000 We're giving money to India for election.

05:57:56.000 They don't need money.

05:57:57.000 They take advantage of us pretty good.

05:57:59.000 One of the highest tariff nations in the world.

05:58:02.000 We try and sell something.

05:58:03.000 They have a 200% tariff.

05:58:05.000 And then we're giving them a lot of money to help them with their election.

05:58:08.000 $32 million for the Prague Civil Society Center.

05:58:13.000 $14 million for social cohesion.

05:58:17.000 In Liberia, $9.7 million to develop a cohort Cambodian youth with enterprise-driven skills.

05:58:25.000 Think of that.

05:58:26.000 Millions of dollars for sex change operations in Guatemala, $20 million for Sesame Street in Iraq.

05:58:35.000 They put on a little play on the street.

05:58:38.000 $20 million!

05:58:39.000 You could do it on Broadway and have $19 million left over.

05:58:46.000 No, it's a scam.

05:58:47.000 They get kickbacks and all sorts of things.

05:58:50.000 It's a scam.

05:58:51.000 Who ever heard of it?

05:58:51.000 Think of it, 20 Minutes on Sesame Street, a play.

05:58:56.000 We're also uncovering outrageous incompetence and fraud in the Social Security.

05:59:01.000 We have...

05:59:02.000 Look, let's assume that people, generally speaking, in our case and everybody in this room, we're going to all live way over 100, but this is a little ridiculous because not too many people are going over 100. Everybody hopefully in this room will.

05:59:16.000 But there are in the social security ranks and files.

05:59:20.000 And what we're doing now is finding out, do they get paid?

05:59:24.000 Do they get paid?

05:59:26.000 In other words, is somebody taking all of this money?

05:59:29.000 So they have over 100 to 109, 4.7 million social security numbers.

05:59:36.000 Think of that.

05:59:37.000 From people whose age is over 100. 3.6 million.

05:59:44.000 3.47 million people whose age is over 110 years.

05:59:48.000 3.47 million people who are over 120 years of age.

05:59:54.000 3.9 million people whose age goes from 130 to 139 years of age.

06:00:03.000 3.5 million whose age goes from 140 to 149 years old.

06:00:11.000 1.3...

06:00:12.000 See, it's coming down now slowly.

06:00:15.000 No, it's all a scam.

06:00:16.000 The whole thing is a scam.

06:00:20.000 1.3 million people.

06:00:23.000 1.3 who are over 150 years of age.

06:00:27.000 And over 130,000 people are listed on our Social Security rolls as over 160 years of age.

06:00:36.000 Now the final is at 1,039.

06:00:40.000 So now we're down into reasonable numbers.

06:00:45.000 1,039 people are listed between the ages of 220 years old to 229. And we have one person who's listed at 241 years of age.

06:01:00.000 And we have one person listed at 360 years of age, an all-time record, and our country's 250 years old.

06:01:13.000 So that person's substantially older than our country.

06:01:19.000 Under our administration, there will be no tolerance for social security fraud.

06:01:24.000 We will not allow anyone to cheat our seniors, and those who will do that will be prosecuted by Pam, Bondi, and others.

06:01:35.000 We are also going to Fort Knox.

06:01:38.000 I'm going to go with Elon.

06:01:43.000 Would anybody like to join us?

06:01:49.000 Because we want to see if the gold is still there.

06:01:52.000 We want to see.

06:01:53.000 Wouldn't that be terrible if we open up this Fort Knox?

06:01:56.000 It's just solid granite that's five feet thick.

06:02:00.000 The front door, you need six musclemen to open it up. 1.00

06:02:04.000 I don't even think they have windows.

06:02:07.000 Wouldn't that be terrible if we opened it up and there was no gold there?

06:02:11.000 So we're going to open those doors, we're going to take a look, and if there's 27 tons of gold, we'll be very happy.

06:02:17.000 I don't know how the hell we're going to measure it, but that's okay.

06:02:20.000 We want to see lots of nice, beautiful, shiny gold in Fort Knox.

06:02:24.000 Don't be totally surprised.

06:02:25.000 We open the door, we'll say, there's nothing here, they stole this too!

06:02:31.000 Now, we have a very corrupt group of people in this country, and we're finding them out.

06:02:35.000 We're removing all of the unnecessary, incompetent, and corrupt bureaucrats from the federal workforce. 0.99

06:02:42.000 That's what we're doing.

06:02:44.000 And under the buyouts, we offered federal employees more than 75,000 federal bureaucrats, think of that, have voluntarily agreed to surrender their taxpayer-funded jobs.

06:02:56.000 We want to make governments smaller, more efficient.

06:02:58.000 We want to keep the best people, and we're not going to keep the worst people.

06:03:04.000 And you know, we're doing another thing.

06:03:05.000 If they don't report for work, we're firing them.

06:03:08.000 In other words, you have to go to office.

06:03:10.000 Right?

06:03:11.000 Look at her.

06:03:13.000 If you don't report to work, you know, that's another scam.

06:03:18.000 You know, who the hell, if I'm staying home, I'm going to, let's see, my golf handicap would get down to a very low number.

06:03:26.000 You'd be shocked if I told you the real number.

06:03:29.000 But I would be so good, I'd try and get on tour.

06:03:33.000 I would be so good.

06:03:36.000 I'd call up, I'd say, listen, I'm really working here.

06:03:39.000 Where are my clubs?

06:03:40.000 Where are my clubs?

06:03:42.000 Either that or, in many cases, they have second jobs while they're getting paid by us.

06:03:47.000 So one of the reasons they're leaving is because they don't want to have to show that.

06:03:50.000 And we're demanding to see that information.

06:03:53.000 How many jobs have you had?

06:03:54.000 Who paid you while you were working for the government?

06:03:59.000 We are demanding that people, if they work for the government, they have to show up and sit in an office and do their job, right?

06:04:08.000 And we've also effectively ended the left-wing scam known as USAID, the agency's name.

06:04:17.000 Has been removed from its former building, and that space will now house agents from Customs and Border Patrol.

06:04:25.000 Beautiful.

06:04:28.000 And at the ultra-left CFPB, which was terrible.

06:04:34.000 So many people have been hurt by that.

06:04:35.000 I used to get calls from lending officers, from owners of small banks, and they were almost crying.

06:04:43.000 What they did to those people, they destroyed them, put them out of business.

06:04:46.000 It was established by Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren.

06:04:50.000 Does anyone know?

06:04:51.000 Remember the Pocahontas scam? 1.00

06:04:54.000 I'm an Indian.

06:04:55.000 Therefore, I'm entitled to be a senator.

06:04:58.000 I'm an Indian, she said.

06:05:01.000 Could we see proof of that, please?

06:05:03.000 She said, well, the only proof I have is my mother said I have high cheekbones.

06:05:07.000 Oh, that's not...

06:05:08.000 That's no good, right?

06:05:11.000 Remember she went out?

06:05:12.000 I really spooked her, I tell you.

06:05:14.000 Remember she went out, she couldn't take it anymore.

06:05:16.000 I was going to Pocahontas, Pocahontas.

06:05:18.000 Everyone knew she was not an Indian.

06:05:20.000 I had more Indian blood than her, and I have no Indian blood. 0.96

06:05:24.000 I'd be honored to, but I don't have any, but I had more than her.

06:05:28.000 Do you remember she went out and she had a blood test?

06:05:31.000 And it came back and she was so happy because it said 1,024.

06:05:38.000 That means everybody in this room had more than her.

06:05:44.000 But because there was even a skit, in other words, you know, one million years ago something could have happened.

06:05:50.000 And she was so happy that she released it and she got killed.

06:05:53.000 That was the end of her presidential career.

06:05:55.000 She does not like me very much.

06:05:58.000 But she's a very angry person. 0.55

06:06:00.000 Do you notice the way she is? 0.93

06:06:01.000 She's always screaming and she's crazy. 1.00

06:06:05.000 These people are crazy. 1.00

06:06:06.000 The radical left is meaner. 0.99

06:06:08.000 I don't know what it is, Doug.

06:06:10.000 They're meaner than us, aren't they?

06:06:12.000 We're like normal people.

06:06:13.000 You know, we're smart.

06:06:15.000 We get our word.

06:06:16.000 But we don't go crazy.

06:06:18.000 Of course, they'll take my little rent from 15 minutes ago, the fake news.

06:06:22.000 He lost control on the stage.

06:06:25.000 He lost control.

06:06:27.000 And they'll have me screaming, having to do with Franklin.

06:06:30.000 Poor Franklin.

06:06:31.000 He lost control of the stage.

06:06:33.000 These people are bad. 0.99

06:06:34.000 They are really sick, too. 1.00

06:06:37.000 I don't get it. 0.90

06:06:38.000 You know, you'd think they'd want to love our country.

06:06:40.000 They have no ratings anymore.

06:06:41.000 Nobody listens to them.

06:06:42.000 Nobody believes the fake New York Times.

06:06:46.000 Washington Post is doing no business.

06:06:49.000 They're losing all their business.

06:06:50.000 Nobody believes them.

06:06:52.000 But we've escorted the radical-left bureaucrats out of the building and locked the doors behind them. 0.84

06:06:57.000 We've gotten rid of thousands.

06:06:59.000 I withdrew the United States from the corrupt World Health Organization.

06:07:03.000 I withdrew.

06:07:06.000 From the anti-Semitic UN Human Rights Council.

06:07:10.000 The council is horrible, and I withdrew from the terrorist-supporting UN Relief and Works Agency.

06:07:16.000 The UN has such great potential, but not the way it's run now.

06:07:20.000 It's terrible the way it's run now.

06:07:22.000 We stopped all taxpayer money to these corrupt institutions.

06:07:26.000 And by the way, just so, because who the hell knows, we've got to talk about something very important, the war between Russia and Ukraine.

06:07:35.000 People are being killed, mostly young men, mostly Russian and Ukrainian men, at levels you've never seen before.

06:07:41.000 Thousands of people a week.

06:07:42.000 And I've spoken to President Putin, and I think that thing is going to end.

06:07:48.000 But it's got to end.

06:07:49.000 It's a horrible, horrible thing to watch.

06:07:53.000 I'm dealing with President Zelenskyy.

06:07:56.000 I'm dealing with President Putin.

06:07:59.000 I'm trying to get the money back or secured because, you know, Europe has given $100 billion.

06:08:07.000 The United States has given $350 billion. 1.00

06:08:14.000 Because we had a stupid, incompetent president and administration. 1.00

06:08:20.000 350. But here's worse. 1.00

06:08:23.000 Europe gave it in the form of a loan.

06:08:26.000 They get their money back.

06:08:27.000 We gave it in the form of nothing.

06:08:29.000 So I want them to give us something for all of the money that we put up.

06:08:34.000 And I'm going to try and get the war settled.

06:08:36.000 And I'm going to try and get all that death ended.

06:08:40.000 So we're asking for rare earth and oil, anything we can get. 0.99

06:08:46.000 But we feel so stupid. 0.99

06:08:48.000 Here's Europe. 0.99

06:08:49.000 And you know, it affects Europe.

06:08:51.000 It doesn't really affect us, except we don't like to see two things.

06:08:54.000 Number one, how Biden got us into this thing in the first place.

06:08:59.000 Terrible.

06:09:00.000 But why is it that he didn't ask for equalization?

06:09:02.000 Europe should put up more money than us.

06:09:04.000 But even if you said the same thing, how come we went so far out front and he didn't know that Europe gets his money back?

06:09:11.000 They did it in the form of a loan.

06:09:12.000 We don't get our money back.

06:09:13.000 We get nothing.

06:09:15.000 So we're getting our money back.

06:09:16.000 We're going to get our money back because it's not fair.

06:09:19.000 It's just not fair.

06:09:22.000 And we will see.

06:09:23.000 But I think we're pretty close to a deal and we better be close to a deal.

06:09:28.000 Because that has been a horrible situation.

06:09:30.000 It would have never happened if I were president.

06:09:33.000 And by the way, October 7th, Israel would have never happened if I was president, too.

06:09:38.000 It would have never happened.

06:09:39.000 Iran was broke.

06:09:41.000 They had no money for Hamas or Hezbollah.

06:09:45.000 They had no money to give.

06:09:47.000 Everybody knows that.

06:09:48.000 Jewish people in the audience know that.

06:09:50.000 Iran was broke.

06:09:51.000 They were not giving money around.

06:09:54.000 And when I got out, they took all the sanctions off, Biden, and Iran became rich very quickly.

06:10:00.000 With oil, you can become rich very, very quickly.

06:10:03.000 And the rest is history.

06:10:06.000 What a horrible thing.

06:10:07.000 Even though the hostages are coming back, I saw it this morning where we got six more back.

06:10:12.000 Biden got none back, by the way, just so you understand.

06:10:14.000 None.

06:10:15.000 Zero.

06:10:15.000 He would have never gotten any of them back.

06:10:18.000 But they're coming back in pretty bad shape.

06:10:20.000 It's a horrible thing, and many are dead.

06:10:22.000 Many are dead.

06:10:23.000 So we'll see how that all ends up.

06:10:25.000 But it's a horrible thing.

06:10:27.000 But I just want you to know we're working on that.

06:10:29.000 That's a very big part of it.

06:10:30.000 And I don't like talking about it because we're in the middle of negotiations.

06:10:34.000 But it's a very, very sad...

06:10:38.000 It's a very sad...

06:10:38.000 Would have never happened...

06:10:40.000 There was no way Russia was never going to go in.

06:10:43.000 And they went in because of a lot of reasons.

06:10:48.000 So many people are dead.

06:10:49.000 Far more people are dead than you're reading about.

06:10:52.000 You know, when they blow up all these cities, all those cities are, they look like demolition sites.

06:10:57.000 Every single building is down.

06:10:58.000 All of those beautiful golden towers that are a thousand years old, they're lying on the ground and smithereens, blown to smithereens, there's nothing left of them.

06:11:07.000 They're just lying on the ground, never to be rebuilt again, not possible to rebuild them again.

06:11:13.000 And all of that heritage is gone.

06:11:16.000 People have done a really horrible job.

06:11:18.000 If I were president, zero chance that a shot would even have been fired.

06:11:24.000 It wouldn't have happened.

06:11:25.000 So sad.

06:11:28.000 To further turbocharge our economy, we have launched the most aggressive deregulation program in any nation's history.

06:11:36.000 And we're also going to be seeking the largest tax cuts in American history.

06:11:42.000 Again, we...

06:11:43.000 We brought them down, as you know, from close to 40% down to 21%.

06:11:48.000 Now we're bringing them down to 15% if you make your product in the United States of America.

06:11:56.000 We're defending the American worker like never before, and that's why the autoworkers and the union workers and the Teamsters and so many others, they supported us, the firemen, the policemen.

06:12:08.000 So many others, whether they were union or non-union, they all supported us.

06:12:12.000 They supported us.

06:12:13.000 It's called workers.

06:12:14.000 And they supported us at levels that nobody's ever seen before.

06:12:17.000 Weeks ago, I imposed a 10% tariff on all goods coming from China because of the fact that they're sending fentanyl into our country. 0.80

06:12:26.000 Through Mexico, by the way.

06:12:28.000 I'm not happy with Mexico. 0.99

06:12:30.000 Or I'm not happy with Canada, either.

06:12:32.000 I imposed 25% tariffs on all foreign steel and aluminum.

06:12:37.000 And I will soon impose reciprocal tariffs on any country that charges us.

06:12:42.000 And by the way, reciprocal means they charge us, we charge them.

06:12:45.000 Same thing.

06:12:46.000 So nobody can be upset, right?

06:12:48.000 But we have countries charging us 200% and we charge them nothing.

06:12:52.000 They charge us, we charge them.

06:12:55.000 Our country's going to become rich again.

06:12:57.000 Very rich.

06:12:58.000 I always say it's my favorite word in the dictionary.

06:13:01.000 The word tariff is my favorite word in the dictionary.

06:13:04.000 You know, we were richest, the richest relatively, from, think of this, from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest, because we collected tariffs from foreign countries that came in and took our jobs and took our money, took our everything.

06:13:21.000 But they charged tariffs, and we had so much money, they set up the 1887. Think of that a long time ago.

06:13:29.000 1887 Tariff Commission.

06:13:31.000 It was a commission of very important people to determine where we should spend all of the tremendous vast wealth that we had.

06:13:37.000 We had so much wealth.

06:13:39.000 Wouldn't it be nice today?

06:13:40.000 Of course, now we give it away to transgender this, transgender that. 0.98

06:13:44.000 Everybody gets a transgender operation. 0.99

06:13:46.000 It's just wonderful. 0.80

06:13:48.000 We give it away to crazy things.

06:13:50.000 But in those days, it was different.

06:13:52.000 It was a different world.

06:13:53.000 It was a different country.

06:13:54.000 But we were very rich because of tariffs.

06:13:57.000 And I get myself in trouble because I say that tariff is my favorite word and the fake news went crazy.

06:14:04.000 What about God?

06:14:05.000 What about wife and family?

06:14:08.000 What about love?

06:14:10.000 I said, okay, tariff is now my fourth favorite word.

06:14:17.000 I got myself into a lot of trouble with that.

06:14:19.000 You can't believe it.

06:14:21.000 I said, tariff is my favorite word in the dictionary and I got killed by the fake news.

06:14:26.000 So I say now, it doesn't sound good.

06:14:28.000 Tariff, it's my fourth favorite word.

06:14:30.000 I go, tariff is my fourth favorite word.

06:14:33.000 It sounds so terrible, but this way I'm free.

06:14:36.000 I write free, you know.

06:14:37.000 I don't get clobbered by the fake news.

06:14:39.000 But tariffs are also a powerful tool of diplomacy, and all around the world are moving quickly to bring back peace through strength.

06:14:47.000 We have the greatest...

06:14:48.000 You know, I rebuilt our entire military in the first term.

06:14:51.000 We left a lot of it.

06:14:53.000 Although, a lot of it, but...

06:14:55.000 Very small, relatively, in Afghanistan.

06:14:59.000 The Taliban has it. 0.61

06:15:00.000 You know, they have their parade every year where they take our military vehicles and run them up some little street.

06:15:06.000 And, like, it's their form of a military parade.

06:15:09.000 And it makes me angry when I see that.

06:15:14.000 Angry.

06:15:15.000 When I see that, I get angry!

06:15:22.000 You know, we give them, I don't think anyone knows this, we give Afghanistan about two or two and a half billion dollars a year.

06:15:29.000 Do you know that?

06:15:31.000 Or aid.

06:15:33.000 Aid.

06:15:34.000 We need aid ourselves.

06:15:36.000 And I'm going to go back, and I told them yesterday, I want to look at it, but if we're going to give them money, it's okay.

06:15:43.000 But I want them to give us back our military equipment that they have.

06:15:49.000 They're selling it.

06:15:51.000 Doug, would you take that, please?

06:15:53.000 All right?

06:15:54.000 Write something up.

06:15:55.000 No, I want them to give back.

06:15:56.000 If we're going to give them that kind of money, let them give back the military equipment, which they have.

06:16:00.000 They have tanks and trucks and guns and goggles.

06:16:04.000 They have goggles.

06:16:05.000 They have night goggles.

06:16:07.000 Better than we have.

06:16:08.000 Brand new right out of the box.

06:16:09.000 It's unbelievable.

06:16:11.000 So I want to do that, and I want the...

06:16:13.000 If we're going to pay them, I want to get that equipment back, okay?

06:16:17.000 Doug can do it.

06:16:18.000 He's one of the guys.

06:16:20.000 He's a business guy.

06:16:21.000 To him, he's sitting there saying, how the hell did this ever happen, right?

06:16:24.000 Can you believe it?

06:16:25.000 We give them billions of dollars, and we gave them our military equipment.

06:16:30.000 Just tremendous numbers of billions of dollars worth of military, billions and billions.

06:16:35.000 We have a ceasefire in Gaza, and we're joined today by several survivors of the captivity under Hamas, including Noah Argumani and Ilana Gretowski.

06:16:49.000 Wow, look at that.

06:16:51.000 How beautiful.

06:16:52.000 What a beautiful group of people.

06:16:55.000 Thank you very much.

06:16:57.000 Thank you very much.

06:17:15.000 And you're sitting next to a great guy, Sebastian Gorka, who's also now in the administration.

06:17:21.000 From day one, right, Sebastian?

06:17:23.000 He's been a loyalist from day one.

06:17:26.000 We love Sebastian.

06:17:27.000 Thank you very much, Sebastian.

06:17:28.000 Thank you, everybody.

06:17:29.000 That's very nice.

06:17:31.000 Beautiful.

06:17:32.000 We're going to make it work somehow, you know.

06:17:34.000 We're doing the best we can.

06:17:35.000 We started...

06:17:36.000 It should have never happened.

06:17:37.000 That's the sad part.

06:17:38.000 Would have never happened.

06:17:39.000 If I were president, and I should have been, if I were president, it would have never happened.

06:17:43.000 But it did so.

06:17:45.000 We're doing the best we can with it.

06:17:47.000 Thank you very much.

06:17:48.000 Thank you.

06:17:50.000 Also with us are family members of some individuals who are still hostages, and we will not rest until all of the hostages have been returned back home.

06:18:00.000 Some of them are coming home in very bad condition, and some of them are coming home only as bodies.

06:18:08.000 They're dead.

06:18:10.000 We have a lot of them coming home now.

06:18:12.000 They're dead.

06:18:13.000 And these are largely young people.

06:18:15.000 Young people don't die.

06:18:17.000 Young people are young people.

06:18:19.000 They don't die like this, but they're dead.

06:18:23.000 And the parents come to me and they say, please, sir, could you get my son back?

06:18:27.000 How old is he, sir?

06:18:28.000 My son is dead.

06:18:30.000 It's important, just as important as if that son were alive to get the body back.

06:18:35.000 It's amazing, actually.

06:18:37.000 Amazing.

06:18:38.000 Just as important.

06:18:40.000 Thank you.

06:18:51.000 It's amazing, though, the parents.

06:18:54.000 The parents are strong.

06:18:56.000 I mean, look, strong.

06:18:57.000 What does strong mean?

06:18:58.000 Strong is their life is ruined.

06:19:00.000 It's ruined.

06:19:01.000 I see the people.

06:19:02.000 But they come up to me, and it's so important to get the body back.

06:19:06.000 They know.

06:19:07.000 And some are not sure.

06:19:08.000 They're 80% sure he's dead or she's dead.

06:19:12.000 But they have that little glimmer of hope, and I say, let them have that hope, right?

06:19:16.000 Let them have that hope.

06:19:18.000 Getting the body back is just as important as getting the son back healthy or the daughter back healthy.

06:19:23.000 It's amazing to see when I see the level of intensity and love and sorrow and tragedy.

06:19:30.000 As I said in my inaugural address, it's my hope that my greatest legacy will be as a peacemaker, not a conqueror.

06:19:38.000 I don't want to be a conqueror.

06:19:44.000 Under the Trump administration, every day brings more good news for America.

06:19:50.000 I've ended all of the so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion programs across the entire federal government and the private sector.

06:20:00.000 And notified every single government DEI officer that their job has been deleted.

06:20:08.000 They're gone.

06:20:08.000 They're fired.

06:20:09.000 You're fired.

06:20:10.000 Get out.

06:20:11.000 You're fired.

06:20:15.000 I made it the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female. 0.98

06:20:23.000 That was easy.

06:20:26.000 I banned men from competing in women's sports.

06:20:34.000 And I also proudly banned the use of...

06:20:38.000 Well, thank you.

06:20:41.000 We banned the use of puberty blockers, hormone injections, and other chemical and surgical mutilation of your youth.

06:20:51.000 Could you imagine making a speech like this ten years ago?

06:20:54.000 People would say, what the hell is he talking about, right?

06:20:58.000 This is a sickness that came along with critical race theory and all of the other things that we had to put up with.

06:21:06.000 And it's all out now, critical race theory and trends, gender insanity, it's all gone from our schools and from our military.

06:21:14.000 And I believe it's gone, too.

06:21:17.000 I think we've turned the heads of even the people that, if you can believe they're believers, I don't know if they were, but I believe that it's all gone.

06:21:27.000 And I've directed the reinstatement of any service member who was expelled from the armed forces due to the COVID vaccine mandate.

06:21:34.000 They will be returned to their former rank with full back pay.

06:21:38.000 full back pay.

06:21:40.000 I banned government censorship from your voices and brought back free speech in America.

06:21:58.000 We have free speech.

06:21:59.000 We didn't have free speech.

06:22:00.000 We do have it now, actually.

06:22:02.000 Now, this was a very vicious regime, you know?

06:22:05.000 I was put under investigation more so than the late great Alphonse Capone, one of the great killers of the world.

06:22:13.000 Trump, my father would look down at my mother, how the hell did this happen to my boy?

06:22:18.000 No, I was under investigation at a far greater level than Al Capone or anybody else, probably in the history of our country. 1.00

06:22:24.000 These people are sick. 0.99

06:22:26.000 They're sick. 1.00

06:22:27.000 They're bad people. 0.99

06:22:28.000 I ended Joe Biden's weaponization as soon as I got in.

06:22:32.000 I said, I'm going to hit him with the same stuff.

06:22:35.000 But I ended his whole weaponization of our government and removed his handpicked radical left Marxist prosecutors from the Department of Justice.

06:22:45.000 I was so happy to do that.

06:22:48.000 They weaponized government.

06:22:51.000 They weaponized government.

06:22:53.000 I pardon hundreds and hundreds of Biden's political prisoners, including Christians, pro-life activists, and the J6 hostages who were treated terribly for years.

06:23:05.000 We even got rid of people like Pete Buttigieg.

06:23:20.000 Who did the worst job of anybody in the history of transportation. 1.00

06:23:25.000 What a bunch of losers. 0.92

06:23:27.000 I revoked the security clearances of Anthony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, John Brennan, James Clapper, and every non-patriot who lied to cover up Hunter Biden's laptop from hell. 0.98

06:23:42.000 We took away their security clearances.

06:23:48.000 And they're not allowed to enter any government building either.

06:23:52.000 I also revoked Joe Biden's security clearances, the Biden crime family security clearances, and they'll no longer be allowed to access state secrets while selling themselves all around the world.

06:24:07.000 Oh, well.

06:24:09.000 Now, these are bad people.

06:24:10.000 These were bad people.

06:24:12.000 And I do that.

06:24:13.000 Because this should never be allowed to happen again.

06:24:16.000 What happened to me in this administration, what happened on J6, what happened on all of the things they did that were so bad should never, ever be allowed to happen again.

06:24:28.000 And on a friendlier note, I renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.

06:24:34.000 And we are restoring the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount McKinley in Alaska.

06:24:48.000 Thank you.

06:24:53.000 And as you know, many years ago, Jimmy Carter gave away the Panama Canal.

06:25:03.000 And Panama started the process of giving the Panama Canal, by the way, the most expensive development ever in the history of our country.

06:25:13.000 Relatively.

06:25:14.000 It would have been one and a half trillion in today's dollars.

06:25:18.000 38,000 people died from our country building the Panama Canal.

06:25:25.000 They died from mosquitoes and snakes.

06:25:27.000 Think of it.

06:25:28.000 They paid them five times their salary.

06:25:31.000 They brought them to Panama and they had a 25% chance of dying.

06:25:35.000 They dug under nets so the mosquitoes wouldn't get them.

06:25:38.000 But we lost 38,000, mostly men.

06:25:43.000 Laborers, construction workers, because it was such a harsh way to live. 1.00

06:25:48.000 It was very brutal.

06:25:50.000 They died.

06:25:51.000 38,000.

06:25:52.000 Again, it was the most expensive thing we ever built.

06:25:56.000 And they gave it away for $1 to Panama.

06:26:01.000 And last year it made $5 billion.

06:26:03.000 Also, it's one of the most successful projects ever built in terms of money, monetarily.

06:26:10.000 And it's the eighth wonder of the world.

06:26:12.000 It connects two oceans with one being 16 feet higher than the other.

06:26:17.000 Think of it.

06:26:18.000 The Pacific and the Atlantic.

06:26:19.000 Think of what that is.

06:26:21.000 You're going through dikes and canals.

06:26:24.000 Amazing what they did.

06:26:26.000 It was really a wonder of the world.

06:26:28.000 We gave it away for nothing.

06:26:29.000 But we didn't give it to China.

06:26:32.000 We didn't give it to China.

06:26:33.000 We gave it to Panama.

06:26:34.000 We're going to take back the Panama Canal.

06:26:43.000 In a matter of weeks, we have restored America's pride, America's confidence, and America's According to a brand new poll from Rasmussen, the number of Americans who believe we are on the right track now exceeds the number who think we're on the wrong track.

06:27:00.000 This is the first time in 23 years.

06:27:04.000 That's hard to believe.

06:27:08.000 And we had one poll where we're at...

06:27:11.000 81% right track, wrong track.

06:27:13.000 I guess it depends on who, but that one poll, because Rasmussen's been a good poll, first time in over 20 years that we've had a positive number on that.

06:27:22.000 That's great.

06:27:23.000 That's great.

06:27:24.000 November 5th, 2024, we'll go down as one of the most important days in the history of our country.

06:27:30.000 I'm pointing to Mike Lindell.

06:27:34.000 That man suffered.

06:27:36.000 That man suffered.

06:27:38.000 The FBI thugs went up to him and they took away everything he had.

06:27:42.000 He suffered.

06:27:44.000 And Mrs. Lindell was a great guy.

06:27:55.000 They went after him.

06:27:57.000 It was just terrible.

06:27:58.000 This was a vicious weaponization of your government.

06:28:02.000 But he's all, I'll tell you, he stood up.

06:28:05.000 He's all, man.

06:28:05.000 He stood up.

06:28:06.000 He stood up strong.

06:28:08.000 And nothing was going to faze him.

06:28:10.000 And I want to thank you on behalf of everybody, Mike.

06:28:12.000 You put up with a tremendous amount.

06:28:17.000 And he never changed his mind.

06:28:19.000 He said that election of 2020 was rigged.

06:28:22.000 And he's more of a believer today than he was even four years ago.

06:28:28.000 But now it's okay to say it, Mike.

06:28:31.000 Now it's fine.

06:28:36.000 Now, that's why.

06:28:37.000 You know, when it comes to a day where you can't challenge crooked elections, we've got a real problem in this country.

06:28:43.000 And as of January 20th, 2025, the dark days of high taxes, crushing regulations, rampant inflation, flagrant corruption, government weaponization, and total incompetence.

06:28:57.000 Those days are over.

06:28:59.000 They're over.

06:29:02.000 But we cannot stop now.

06:29:04.000 We're going to push forward every single day.

06:29:07.000 In the immortal words of that great American hero, Captain John Paul Jones, I have not yet begun to fight.

06:29:23.000 And neither have you So together for the next four years we are going to stand strong We are going to work hard.

06:29:47.000 We are going to fight, fight, fight, and win, win, win.

06:29:51.000 Thank you to CPAC. Thank you, Matt.
