Matt Schlapp, Chris Carr, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders anchor CPAC Day 3 coverage, detailing the Trump-Vance administration's "shock and awe" strategy that reportedly dropped southern border crossings by 90% within four weeks. Key figures like Doug Burgum and Karoline Leavitt highlight energy dominance, the creation of DOGE to cut waste, and aggressive deregulation, while J.D. Vance and Donald Trump tout record approval ratings and the removal of DEI programs. The segment concludes with promises of a 15% tax rate for U.S. goods and a renewed focus on national sovereignty against globalist agendas. [Automatically generated summary]
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.
Absolutely.
So education.
Every single person in this room can be trained on the signs of human trafficking, and I'd encourage you to do it.
We and George, our First Ladies, put a training system together.
You've got to educate, you've got to legislate, but you also have to prosecute.
And that's what we've done.
So in 2019, in our state, our governor, our legislature gave us the authority to prosecute human trafficking.
In these five years, we've rescued and assisted over 200 victims.
That's 200 lives that will forever be changed.
We've convicted 50 individuals on trafficking, and this is sellers as well as buyers and enablers.
What's an enabler?
Well, we prosecuted a clerk in a hotel that was in on the act as well.
And as Sarah said this, you cannot be serious about fighting human trafficking if you're not willing to secure the border.
Because 80% of human trafficking is gang-affiliated, both in the country as well as transnational.
Gangs as well as the cartels.
And finally, we have an administration that's not willing to coddle criminals.
But President Trump and A.G. Bondi and Kash Patel, they're willing to go after and partner with us too.
So the cavalry is coming.
And the people in this room are the cavalry as well.
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.
We're ranking all these people.
There's all these international people.
I think we should start rating the EU personally, the EU Parliament as well.
But it's all the same stuff, guys.
We're fighting all the same evil, satanic battles.
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.
One of them is hold these legislators accountable, and human trafficking is one of the ways we want to hold them accountable.
Julio, the border, you spent a lot of time there.
Sarah spent a lot of time there.
Mexico's a complicated country.
As I said, Mexico City's a beautiful country.
They've elected this left-wing leader, unfortunately, to the presidency.
But behind that, there's a lot of Mexican victims in the country with the rise of the cartels and everything else.
Give us a little insight of the latest in the battle.
By the way, I think the cartel heads are sweating a little bit that Donald Trump was elected president.
That's what always would surprise me, especially...
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.
I mean, you know, I always say they used to put me on CNN because I looked like Colonel Sanders or something.
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.
There's no win here.
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.
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.
He said one of the most idiotic things, but it's because he was forced through by policy.
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.
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...
It was the green light.
It was the green light for that.
And then, of course, as the cartels got that influx of cash, the Mexicans became victimized even more from their activities.
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.
And so having a strong border and actually taking on these organizations...
It's actually the best thing that we can do, not only for the United States, but also for our neighbors in Mexico.
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.
And we were interviewing these group of Venezuelans.
And as we were interviewing them, a small motorbike came up from behind.
And if anyone has seen any videos...
From violence in Latin America.
If a motorbike is coming, that's not usually a good sign.
And this guy jumps off.
He tells me to stop recording.
He starts interrogating me and my team.
And we're trying to figure, whoa, whoa, what's going on?
We have permission.
They're fine with talking with us.
And I was very concerned because I didn't know who this guy was.
I didn't know if he was affiliated with any local gang or the cartel.
It turned out that he was actually concerned about us, outsiders, coming into this camp because he said...
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.
And so, as Sarah was saying, this is real.
And it was the worst it's ever been with the destructive policies and the deliberate policies from the Biden-Harris administration.
It is absolutely disgusting that this was not only allowed to happen, but it was made to happen.
Over 300,000 were placed into homes we have no way of tracking, so we have no idea where they're at.
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?
Tara, for those of you who don't know, look her up.
But some of these children were placed in strip clubs.
Like, HHS literally turned over people who wrote down strip club addresses for these children and they can't find them.
So now that we have Tom Homan in office, this is, yeah, as the boarders are.
As the boarders are.
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.
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.
That they own the Hispanic vote, that they own the immigrant vote, that they own the gay vote.
They own these voting blocs.
And so I believe they opened up the border not because they have compassion for kids.
If they're giving them to owners of strip clubs and stuff, that shows that was crap.
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.
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.
And here's the other thing that I think this is important for conservatives to understand.
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.
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.
And I said, well, I don't care what the criminal looks like.
I care about the act that they engage in.
But if we're going to look at something, let's look at who the victims are.
Who is most often vulnerable to human trafficking?
Lower income, racially diverse immigrant populations.
Who's most susceptible to violent crime and gangs?
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.
Lower income, racially diverse.
It's us conservatives that believe in the dignity, value, and worth of every human being.
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.
And we now have a president that agrees with that.
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.
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.
It then became a Latin American issue, and then when Biden opened the border...
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.
And they're saying, we have to stop deportations.
You have to screw ICE and all this stuff.
They're taking away hardened gang members right now.
But this is what Matt's saying is absolutely essential.
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.
It was breaking and tearing our nation apart.
The reason we have...
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.
And the only way we're going to be able to protect ourselves and our families is by doing what's right.
Common sense tells us don't leave the border wide open.
Don't do it.
We protect our homes.
We shut our front doors at night.
Why do we leave our border wide open?
This is gonna take a lot of work.
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.
Because as much as we're talking about the victimization of these children, our adversaries are out there.
China.
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.
And so we have to be very aware and I'm just so grateful.
So grateful to be living in this time, in this amazing time where I know, I know our country is on the right track.
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.
All the lies and slurs that will come out.
Videos that will be true probably deepfakes, you know, instead of the ones when they said, well, Biden doesn't really have Alzheimer's.
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...
They don't matter in our system.
So don't let them lie to you.
Know what's behind the headlines.
Every country that believes in freedom starts with a border.
And Chris and I are Catholic, even at the Vatican, by the way.
You can't get in the Vatican without an appointment.
And a country shouldn't be any different than that.
So thank you all for being here today and keep up the fight.
unidentified
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, blessed are the prosecuted fixing justice.
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.
Two years ago, both my parents went to prison for a combined 19 years.
My dad got 12 and my mom got 7. This was in Fulton County, Georgia.
And where prosecutors labeled us the Trumps of the South.
And I spoke at the Republican National Convention, and as I like to say, I would take that as a compliment.
I will be the Trumps of the South.
I'll take it.
But it's sad.
I mean, because of that, I got custody of my 10-year-old sister and 16-year-old brother at the time.
That's when I learned to fight.
That's when I learned to fight and to uncover the injustices that happened with us.
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.
And when you have things like that happen, it taints the entire case.
And I tell people all the time, if you want to convict them, convict them.
I'm fine with that.
But do it based off of the truth.
And the government shouldn't be allowed to break every single law in order to get a conviction.
And our judge, too.
That's a whole other story.
First off, I do not believe prosecutors should have full immunity.
That, we have to get rid of that.
People have to be held accountable.
And our judge.
She is the youngest African-American female appointed by Obama.
And you look at her Wikipedia page and her notable cases are ruling against Trump for mail-in ballots.
She also refused to allow the victims of Hurricane Helene to register to vote late.
And the question I think a lot of people ask is, can you win on this message?
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.
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.
Dave, can you talk about how this message...
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.
I'll say that the best policies, I think, all come from your own personal life experience.
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.
I came home and I worked at UPS for eight years, all through college and all through law school.
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.
I then went on after law school and became a prosecutor, prosecuted, you know, everything from gang murders to domestic violence killings, drug traffickers.
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.
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.
When people come out of prison, what I want to see is them work.
I want to see people have career jobs.
I want to see people take care of their families and pay their taxes and pay restitution.
And more importantly, recognize that they have the power within themselves to change their lives.
They don't need government to do it.
They can do it themselves.
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.
And crime rates go down.
And our crime rate went down almost around 45%.
Our homicide rate dropped by over 80%.
During that time period.
You know, and this is critical because success breeds success.
And then other people that weren't quite sure started coming to the table.
And we realized our prisons are full of people that have severe mental health illness.
Severe mental health illnesses.
And so we tried to find a way to help get them to get mental health treatment.
It took the pressure off police departments because the police need to be out there doing their job and getting the bad guys.
Not sitting.
You know, at a hospital staring at someone who's going through treatment.
So my point, very simply, is I wasn't sure how the community would respond to that.
That's my life story and how I've handled myself.
And they responded in a very resounding and positive way.
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.
When she was sworn in, she gave me hope.
I was like, finally, there's a woman in power.
And she let us all down.
She testified, and over half the deaths in the system were due to suicide.
So it shows that there is a mental health crisis, and we have to take care of that first.
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.
And the things that I have uncovered are extremely damning.
I mean, the corruption that goes on within these facilities, these officials should be the ones in prison.
Until we hold them accountable, we're going to continue that same rat race over and over and over again.
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.
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.
In Knox County, we estimate that about 35% of our daily census at our jail suffers from mental illness.
And the reason is there's no place else for these folks.
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.
I was really happy.
We just started a mental health court in Knox County.
There's only about 300 around the country.
It's a new concept.
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.
But yes, that frees up police resources because then they're no longer acting as mental health professionals.
They can do the job that they're trained to do, and it makes things safer for everybody.
And also, you're exactly right.
President Trump's First Step Act is overwhelmingly popular.
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.
And because they failed to implement it, you have the Bureau of Prisons that's asking for more money.
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.
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...
We spent four years with the Biden administration acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
And in that pace, I think what we don't talk enough about is what did that actually do to law enforcement.
In my hometown of Roswell, Georgia, we lost an officer two weeks ago.
The first one in 40 years.
We've talked a lot about the problem, and there are real consequences.
The good news is there is a solution.
And that solution was delivered by all of you in November.
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.
You deserve to be safe.
Dave, I know you're part of that solution because the voters sent you up in Pennsylvania to solve this.
I mean, I ran on if our communities aren't safe, nothing else matters.
And it's something that I believe in my heart.
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.
We have an aging population in America.
And every single day, millions of times a day, people are trying to steal our seniors.
You know, the money that they saved up throughout the course of their life.
And I don't care if it's one dollar or a billion dollars.
They earned it.
It's their money.
They can do with it what they want until the day they die.
And I find it.
And so when you add on the technology right now with AI, it's become so complex.
Drug trafficking has become complex.
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.
And really bring everyone together with a common goal, which is to make our community safer.
That's to get fentanyl off of our streets.
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.
The data shows that when you get the right people in prison, the right people, okay, Crime goes down astronomically.
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.
And at the end of the day, that's how we'll make our community safer.
Make sure that the people that are going to re-enter society have a pathway to do so successfully.
And that's pretty much it.
That's all so many of these issues.
And the justice system should never be used for political purposes.
Justice is supposed to be blind.
And for the past four years, it's had a target on certain individuals because of politics.
In fact, of all the things that...
All the horrible things that happened under the Biden administration, and there's a lot of them, right?
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.
That's just what I think as a kid is ingrained in you.
And that is so far from the truth.
These men and women are going to enter back into society.
And I believe that God...
Put us on this earth to love people and love people well.
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.
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...
Everyone believes in them.
Alice was pardoned by President Trump the first go-round.
And now he has brought her on as the pardons are.
And he went out on a limb.
He believed in her and he gave her a chance.
So just don't ever think you're too good to give out a helping hand.
So to start with, we have to have the courage to fight tough battles.
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.
These are things that will take time and courage.
To be able to work through them, they're greater than the political cycle.
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.
You have to have the courage to do it.
The second thing is we have to support police.
You said something earlier that was so fantastic.
We expect our police to be domestic violence counselors, mental health counselors, substance abuse counselors.
We expect police to have the answer to every single problem within a split second, oftentimes 10 to 15 times a day.
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.
So support your police.
And I said, don't always have the courage to take the tough battles, like winning Pennsylvania.
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.
unidentified
But I am honored to join Moms for America today as we speak out against the horrific mandates.
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.
The most dangerous place in all of nature is between a mama bear and her baby cub.
We are the change.
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.
So if not now, then when?
If not you, then who?
Welcome to the Moonlight Revolution!
You came to Washington for one of two reasons.
Some of you came here for position, for power and fame.
You came for you.
But a few came to change this town.
We came to be sandpaper to a culture that despises truth.
Are you one of the few willing to stand in the gap for our nation?
If so, come join us as we make America's national model our personal declaration.
It's time to take control.
With Bursts, you create impactful content in seconds.
Powered by blockchain, your content and earnings are protected, transparent, and yours to control.
Play TV isn't just a platform.
It's a community of creators building a new future together.
Your freedom starts when you press play.
The conservative movement has come a long way.
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.
Look at all of you in this room now.
There's something special about conservative women.
You all have a unique opportunity, I think in this generation in particular, to step into that full vision of womanhood.
Again, thank you for the support of the 45th and the 47th President of the United States of America.
He will be here in a couple of hours.
He's excited to be here.
He's got a great history of coming here.
Some of his all-time greatest speeches that have gone on for hours have been right here.
He'll go out before the speech is expected to be 40 to 45 minutes.
Comes out on stage, comes back two hours later.
Doesn't go off.
He goes off the teleprompter.
It's let Trump be Trump.
Speak clear and transparent to you, the American people.
What you see is what you get.
He's a great man.
He's a great president.
And there's so many stories I could tell.
It's been a long journey.
And speaking of journeys.
President Trump oftentimes behind the scenes will say, you are so lucky I took you on this journey.
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.
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.
It's been the journey of a lifetime for me.
I've been with President Trump for 32 years.
I started caddying for him back when I was 15 years old.
And this real estate mogul came up to Westchester County, New York, to buy a golf course.
Pulls up in the limousine.
I couldn't believe it.
I went to high school.
I was probably a sophomore.
That Monday in school, you won't believe who I saw, who I met.
The New York State real estate mogul and tycoon who redefined the New York City skyline.
Donald J. Trump.
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.
Thank you for having me.
And by the way, thank you for joining us and supporting us, everybody out there, all great American patriots.
We appreciate each and every one of you.
We campaigned in a courthouse this past summer.
We were all over the place.
Literally, the campaign run out of the courthouse.
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.
So much fake news out there, all of the leaks, all the defamation, all the BS that went on out there.
He went out there, the indictments, everything, the lawfare.
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.
That's exactly what he does behind the scenes every day.
He could be out at Mar-a-Lago every day golfing in Palm Beach, Florida, California, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia.
but he'd rather choose to be out there and fight for putting America first and making America great again.
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.
Somebody attempted to assassinate him.
He's in the hospital, and I show him that iconic picture of him raising his fist.
He goes, hey, Dan, how's it playing?
Sir, the entire world is wondering what's going on right now.
How's everybody doing?
How's the team doing?
And myself and Susie Wiles and Stephen Chung and Walt Nauta were back with him.
He cared about everybody else.
He cared about his family.
We're connecting him with Melania, Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric.
That's his thought process with everything going on.
He's just a fighter.
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.
He just loves America.
He loves people.
He's just a happy-go-lucky guy, and the guy works his ass off from 5 in the morning till midnight.
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.
But to be in the hospital with everything shot in the head, and he's worried about everybody else.
A few hours later, we went wheels up.
I believe we went back to New Jersey that evening.
He was on the plane joking.
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.
He cared about all of us on the plane trying to make us all feel better and lift us up.
And ladies and gentlemen, that is your 47th President of the United States of America.
I have hundreds of stories I could share with you.
Because that's where Kamala claimed to have worked.
For two weeks, we heard about going to work at McDonald's.
He was excited to go do it.
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.
I'll never forget that moment when we pulled in with thousands of people lining the streets.
That was the night he also went to the Pittsburgh Steelers game.
But the guy couldn't wait to get to McDonald's, and he knew that it was a big moment for us.
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.
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.
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.
We are overjoyed that he has tasked Elon Musk and his team with overseeing Doge.
Using their skills to implement what may be the closest thing to zero-based budgeting that we will ever see in the federal government.
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.
It is quite apparent that the Democrats long ago stopped caring about the concerns of working-class people.
The truck drivers, farmers, airline employees, miners, custodians, and construction workers, among others.
And they paid for such neglect by being shellacked in the last election.
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.
The agencies that they have chosen for their performance art are telling, are they not?
The Department of Education, a $270 billion woke monstrosity, That has presided over the steady and unrelenting decline of public education.
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.
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.
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.
In short, this obsession with pushing the woke agenda has real-world consequences and has caused real-life suffering.
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.
What we can describe as the social and economic reality of opportunity costs.
And it is this phenomenon that I, as the chairwoman of the House Anti-Woke Caucus, want to make sure people understand.
We are not just dealing with stupid comic books and radical anti-American leftist policies.
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.
As a devastating example, let's look at the recent California wildfires.
The cause and magnitude of those fires cannot be written off as an act of nature because that is not what happened.
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.
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.
Ah, yes.
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.
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.
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.
We can thank this group for their efforts to protect this shrub.
Although such protections were clearly only transitory since they also burned in the November fires.
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.
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?
That bill provided funding for vegetation management to maintain defensible space around structures, reduce flammable material, reduce fire risk, and harden evacuation routes.
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.
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.
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.
And that is why we must expose them for the frauds that they are.
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.
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.
Now, it is often easy to make fun of people like Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, Kamala Harris, Al Gore, John Kerry, and others.
But these people have caused and will continue to cause real human suffering unless we stop them.
And one tool that we have is to expose the true cost of their woke ideology.
But it isn't just failed environmental policies that are to blame.
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.
First, as I mentioned earlier, California's wildfire problem is largely man-made.
With the homeless population and arsonists being responsible for well over 50% of all of the fires.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And the outcome?
Empty reservoirs, broken down fire trucks, air-sucking fire hydrants, no evacuation routes, and not enough firefighters.
DEI is a disastrous concept in theory and wholly destructive in practice.
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.
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.
Thank God, in other words, that we have finally awakened from this woke nightmare and it is a new day in America.
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.
If he doesn't like something, he's going to call it out.
I think it's one of the things that has made him so incredibly popular.
And one of the reasons he's been able to get so much done is because he doesn't care.
Who's in the room?
What it looks like?
He's going to tell you exactly what he thinks in that moment.
And that's what he did.
And frankly, he's on the right side.
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.
And we finally have a president who will stand up for women and fight back.
And I think that it's a great thing to see.
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.
And Donald Trump is doing that, and I think he's right to call people out who are on the wrong side.
You know, we always talk about these federal elections, and obviously having President Trump in office is such a critical win.
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.
Let's just call it what it is.
And here we have a perfect example of what you're doing in Arkansas to be that blueprint for other states.
What's your advice to other governors, especially Republican governors, that are trying to do the same?
And we talk about conservative principles, but these are American principles of being pro-family, pro-economic prosperity, pro-safety.
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.
I got to see Lee Zeldin yesterday.
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.
And we can actually work with to get things done.
You know, over the last several years, Republican governors are the ones who have held the line.
While Washington was a completely broken, dysfunctional mess, Republican governors are the ones who stepped up and worked on securing the border.
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.
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.
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.
And Republican governors are going to be right there with them.
We're going to make sure that our schools do not become indoctrination factories for the left.
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.
And I'm proud of the work we've been able to do.
Arkansas is now the number one state in the country that people are moving to.
So if you don't live there yet, we're ready for you to move and call that your home.
We're the number one state for economic growth.
We're the lowest cost of living.
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.
And that's something we're proud of and something we're going to continue to do in our home state.
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.
Every single day, and that's something that's really important in our state.
We had about 10% of moms in Arkansas that were never seeing a doctor until they were in labor.
That's unacceptable, especially when they have that access to care.
They just weren't taking advantage of it.
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.
And it's something that we want to protect at every single stage.
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.
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.
Nobody expected him to win.
And when he did, they weren't happy that he was here.
Then they saw what life was like under a Trump administration.
And they had a chance to see what life was like without Trump in the White House.
They didn't like it very much.
And so now that he's back.
People want to see him doing exactly what he talked about on the campaign trail.
They want a strong economy.
They want somebody who will secure the border.
They want somebody who's going to take China on.
He was the first president in my lifetime that actually called China out and is holding their feet to the fire.
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.
We know that's popular.
And it was because of Donald Trump that we were empowered to take those type of strong actions.
We have a president who's going to make our allies actually respect us and our enemies fear us.
It's a total opposite of what we saw over the course of the last four years.
You know, you joke at the speed of which Trump is moving.
They always have...
I heard the moniker that we wish that government could move at the speed of business.
Well, he's redefining that all over again.
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.
And he's doing so much so fast, they don't even know how or where to attack him this time.
And so I hope that he can keep up this pace.
I've never seen anybody with the level of energy that he has.
As you know well, it was not surprising that we could get a phone call.
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?
And he has more, he's almost twice my age and he has twice my energy.
But it's because he loves this country.
And he did not need to run and take this job on, but America needed him to be willing to do it.
And anyone else...
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.
But this is a president who I think that only emboldens him more.
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.
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.
And now he's getting it, and he's winning, and because he is, America's winning.
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.
So we would all look at Sarah, and we'd be like, okay, Sarah, this is what he said.
What are our talking points?
I mean, that's how it was.
I mean, it was so really learning on the job, too.
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...
It was a project to go in, look at government efficiency, waste, fraud, and abuse.
Just within the first six months, we've already identified at least $300 million in savings, which is big for Arkansas.
Our budget's $6 billion.
And so for us to identify that level of savings already that we're implementing.
And some of it was as basic as getting rid of...
Old phone and fax lines that haven't been in use in years.
We will now save the state of Arkansas a million dollars a year, just eliminating things like that.
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.
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.
Find people who love this country as much as you do.
Support them with everything you can and keep showing up because it makes a difference.
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.
And so when you look out and you...
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.
So keep showing up.
Keep doing what you're doing.
Thank you so much for being here.

This battle is every bit as important as a revolutionary war because...
We fight for the same thing.
Moms for America is a national movement of moms reclaiming our culture for truth, family, freedom, and the Constitution.
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.
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...
I presume it would be very similar to the images we observe from neural networks of the human brain.
Today we are precisely in one of those moments in which the history, with H mayúscula, is changing its course.
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.
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.
Today we are witnesses of a moment in which the long march of the state on the individual is reaching its end.
Me refiero, por supuesto, al colapso del modelo colectivista y el amanecer de una nueva era de libertad.
We prepared for this moment and I believe that genuinely we are giving a crucial battle for the human future.
But as I always say, only can we work effectively if the diagnosis is correct.
We have to understand where we are and what we are facing to be able to get to where we want.
Throughout the world, Western societies face a same problem and a same enemy.
A class that extraes more resources to the citizens through impuestos, in order to implement a state-wide expansion model.
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".
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.
They are all those who, by economic interest, or ideological conviction, or even a ingenious idealism, work for the interests of the Estado.
which is its predicament.
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
And of course, this includes the traditional political parties.
That, no matter their color, coincide in the fundamental tesis that more estados are always better.
In Argentina, for example, we had a political system composed by 50 shadows of socialism.
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.
Curiosamente, el mío lo van a tener que esperar hasta el final. .
Curiosamente, el presidente Trump es un outsider, igual que yo.
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.
Es para gente que no le debe nada a nadie, que no está comprometida por los vicios del sistema.
and who knows that it is more important change than power by power itself.
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.
That each conquest of the state was an act of social justice against the supposed injustices of freedom.
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.
It's precisely in the center of this scheme that the politicians are, the main beneficiaries of this limited expansion model.
Those who make of others live for the strength of a lifestyle.
Depositarios of power and privileges that will be the envy of any monarch of history.
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.
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.
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.
Our goal is to make the opposite way: increase the power of the citizen and take the power of the state.
Of course, it can't be done by managing the state as it exists or just administrating correctly the resources that it has.
The only rational way is to achieve the state to its least possible expression.
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.
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
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.
This should be so because, unlike the economy, the power is a game of zero.
All the power that the State has necessarily cannot have at the same time the society.
That's why we don't believe in partial solutions or central commitments.
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.
And must be obligated actively to proceed.
No serves to try to achieve a just medium.
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.
The modern state has tools that have grown in sophistication with the time.
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.
Or at least so was until recently, since it is more difficult to simulate its totalitarian character.
We have seen, for example, just to mention, that in certain countries of Europe, the citizens are being arrested for expressing social media.
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.
Hablo de las múltiples ONGs que viven de nuestros impuestos, de los subsidios a la cultura para producir propaganda.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And then, those same hypocrites accuse Elon Musk of interfering in other countries.
clearly, its big deal is as big as its total aspirations.
And if that level of collective consciousness had had solutions, its apologists would have at least something to refer to.
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.
Sin embargo, hemos sido testigos de que a mayor expansión estatal, peor es la calidad de vida de la gente.
No, por nada, Hayek dedicó su último libro a explicar este fenómeno, al cual llamó "La fatal arrogancia".
Pero esto no es accidental.
Más allá de su evidente incompetencia, la clase política no se dedica a solucionar problemas.
Al fin y al cabo, un problema solucionado es un área de la que el Estado debe retirarse.
Al contrario, la clase política se dedica a perpetuar los problemas y así vivir de ellos para siempre.
Por eso viven creando problemas nuevos, instalándolos desde sus aparatos de propaganda para luego ofrecer a sí mismos como solución.
¿Y en qué consiste esa solución?
in the implementation of regulations that cause more problems to be solved by more regulations.
In medicine, the term "hiatrogenia" is used to refer to the damage that a patient is due to the medical care.
So, it could be said that the statics regime consists of the iatrogenia as a policy of state.
I mean, it's the doctor who enriches the progress and intencional deterioration of his patients.
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.
and you keep following them if you do not do it.
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.
Imagine if the state could only work so.
How much misery would we have taken?
Today, those who want to keep this system of demensical call them anti-democratic.
Pero nuevamente, esta es una tergiversación de las palabras, algo muy propio de la izquierda, para variar.
Eso no le llaman democracia al gobierno del pueblo, sino al paradigma de expansión total, estatal y limitada, que ellos mismos administran.
For this, democracy exists only if they win what they want, to be able to put people in their own interests.
But when the minority electorate is they, the majority of the election comes to be authoritarian.
In fact, many of us who accuse us of anti-democratic were not elected.
They have taken decisions that affect thousands of millions of people around the world and, however, nobody knows them.
They are not responsible for anyone else than themselves, and they cannot be taken by the popular vote.
And so, they come to talk about democracy.
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.
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.
¿Y saben qué?
Tienen razón.
Somos su peor pesadilla.
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.
Hoy nuestros países, Argentina y Estados Unidos, necesitan pasar por una segunda independencia.
The first one will free us from the power of the European monarchs.
The second one will free us from the tyranny of the State Party.
That's why we put so much effort in identifying it, because it cannot be fought against what is not known.
And to have a well defined enemy is a fundamental aspect of our cultural battle.
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.
We have no secret formula.
Only to know the human history and know what worked and what not.
That's why, with humility, I want to reflect a little bit on how we've been taking this battle.
We work with firmness and front, without giving place to compromises.
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.
What they imposed without our consent, is being eliminated without their consent.
That's why we have passed the motosierra by the sectors and attributes of the State that we consider superfluous, redundant, necessary.
or directly perniciosos for society.
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.
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.
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.
Our method is similar to our dear friend Elon Musk: "Revising office by office".
Conservar lo que sirve y funciona y descartar el resto.
Por eso le obsequió una motosierra.
With us, nobody can justify the cost of income tax.
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.
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.
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
Como ya he dicho, esto no es una tarea sencilla.
Here in the United States, bureaucrats rebel have tried to sabotage the work And we're going
But today, the problem extends beyond the pressures that the model of the present state has subjected to each of our nation individually.
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.
We became morally weak and made us vulnerable.
At the worst expressions of the barbarian, the worst enemies of freedom.
And to them no one can give a cent, because when they're blood, they move forward and without pied.
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.
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.
Es tan inescrupuloso y sanguinario este régimen que...
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.
This is what is in the game, and we can't give ourselves the luxury of failure.
That is why it is important that nations that we have embraced in the idea of freedom remain united and collaborate with others.
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
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.
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.
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.
This is so because only working with those who want to build a free world we can go ahead.
Just so we'll be able to go out of the pain of the state omniprocent.
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.
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.
¡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
Who is ready in just a few short hours to hear from the man himself, our 47th president, Donald J. Trump? .
My friends, it has been a long road, has it not?
It's been a long road.
And these last four years, we felt every single painful minute.
But nothing, nothing, my friends, is sweeter or more extraordinary than victory.
Who here has enjoyed the last 30 days of America's new golden age?
*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?
Our new Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth.
Our new Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem.
Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.
And, of course, we have the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk.
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...
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.
It's happening.
It is happening.
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,
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.
He is the elected head of our government.
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.
Donald Trump is the one who is saving our Constitution.
Donald Trump is the one who is saving America.
And any federal bureaucrat who defies the lawful orders of this president will be fired.
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.
They do not set their own agenda.
They do not write their own rules.
They do not work for themselves.
They work for each and every one of you.
You pay their salaries.
You pay for the buildings they work in.
You pay for every single thing they do.
And if they are not following the laws, the Constitution, and the President of the United States, then they will find a new career.
By the way, speaking of the FBI, who here is thrilled about Kash Patel? .
Let us not forget.
Let us not forget.
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.
Eight long years of weaponized government.
The Russia hopes.
The Ukraine hopes.
One lie after another.
One fraudulent impeachment after another.
One hoax, one smear.
Government weaponized at every level against democracy.
Government weaponized at every level against the people.
Democrat prosecutors, Democrat attorneys general, Democrat careers, using their power.
To try to sabotage the democracy of this country.
To try to keep President Trump off the ballot.
To try to throw President Trump in jail.
To try to arrest his aides and his supporters.
An authoritarian movement in this country that has at every step tried to stop the workings of our democracy.
And President Trump On a field in Pennsylvania, nearly lost his life.
And a few weeks later, another assassination plot.
And let me ask you this question.
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?
Every day, every day, that is what he is doing for you.
He is fighting for your families.
He is fighting for your children.
He is fighting for your future.
He is fighting for the fundamental idea that this country belongs not to the bureaucrats.
Not to the radical left communists.
Not to our foreign enemies.
Not to the criminal cartels.
Not to the criminal aliens.
This country belongs to the law-abiding, patriotic, God-fearing American citizens.
It belongs to the people in this room, and it belongs to the patriots watching at home today.
I want you to know that every single morning, President Trump wakes up.
And he thinks about you.
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.
President Trump's heart beats for the American people.
President Trump's heart beats for the American republic.
And President Trump's heart is filled with nothing but love and loyalty for this republic.
No president has done more in 30 days than President Trump has done.
But we need you to stay in the fight.
It is not enough to celebrate the victories we've achieved thus far.
Every single day, I need, we need, and President Trump, our president, needs you to be involved in pushing this agenda forward.
Promoting every single victory, every success, every agenda item, being involved at every level of politics to keep driving forward.
You think they're just going to give us our country back?
You think they're just going to roll over, move out of the way, stop their scheming and their lying?
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?
Because God gave us this country.
Our founding fathers fought and died for this country.
Generations of Americans have sacrificed and bled for this country.
And we are not going to let the radical left, the communists, and the America haters take our country.
It's not going to happen.
Not now, not ever.
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.
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.
That if we follow President Trump, then this is what our future will look like.
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.
And we will prove worthy of this moment.
We will prove worthy of this period.
We will prove worthy of this opportunity given to us by Almighty God.
And I swear to you, and I promise you and I pledge to you, it will all be worth it.
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.
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.
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.
First of all, you have a president that knows how many grandchildren he has, and he loves every one of them.
I told Donald Trump this at a Hanukkah party a few years ago.
He's the greatest friend Israel's ever had.
And so are you, by the way.
And I want to thank you for that.
He's the greatest friend Jews have ever had.
So we have the first Jewish president in American history, too.
Looks like America, that cabinet.
unidentified
So speaking of that, first of all, I want to do a real sincere shout-out to Mercy and Max Schlapp, because they're...
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.
It's really, really huge.
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.
To eradicate the enemy.
But here we are, after an October 7, where we really learned what today's Democrat Party is.
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.
That happened on October 7th.
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.
So I just want to remind everybody that a year ago I interviewed the father of a hostage victim at that time.
Sagi Dekelhan, and here we are a year later.
He's out.
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.
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.
Remember when that mother was being pulled with her kids and she knew that people doing this are subhumans.
So Congress has the power to make decisions over the executive branch.
I thought it was separation of powers.
Judges have the power to tell the CDC what to put on their website?
How's that separation of powers?
We have a big problem in this country.
We can't decide if we're a constitutional republic, a federal republic, a representative republic, or a republic at all.
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?
The old Soviet Constitution?
Because they're sure as hell not worried about our Constitution, that I can tell you.
You can't be a Marxist and Islamist, a radical leftist, and support the Constitution of the United States.
You just can't.
What Elon Musk, with the leadership of Donald Trump, have uncovered is a government within a government.
It's not just waste, fraud, and abuse.
It is a subterranean government that is spending trillions of dollars to push a radical left agenda.
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.
Why the hell aren't you uncovering it?
That's your damn job.
unidentified
Well, and it's the same media that likes to avail itself of the First Amendment, right, when it's convenient.
So they have this invisible pen, you know, where they write these things in.
The 14th Amendment was passed like the 13th and the 15th because of slavery.
And the Civil War.
And the country came together and said, we must, in the Constitution, fix this.
We must give equal rights to human beings who have been held as slaves and are now free.
We must give them all the protections and rights of a citizen of the United States.
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.
It was written by Republican senators.
The 14th Amendment was based, this aspect of it, based on the 1866 Civil Rights Act, the first Civil Rights Act.
Andrew Johnson, who was then president after the assassination of Lincoln, was a Democrat.
He refused to sign that civil rights bill.
So they overrode him and they said, we need to enshrine this in the Constitution of the United States.
That provision applied to black people who were freed from slavery and were still being abused in the old Confederacy.
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.
We know what they meant.
The author of the 14th Amendment specifically rejected the idea of aliens.
Specifically.
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.
So they were excluded.
Underscoring the fact that you had to be a United States citizen and understood to be.
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?
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.
And they'll mention some 1898 decision involving a Chinese couple.
Still didn't apply to illegal aliens.
So illegal aliens have no constitutional basis.
But I will just warn you about this.
Hollywood John Roberts, that's what I call him because he's worried about the press.
I don't think he and I don't think his new best friend Barrett will do the right thing.
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.
Never forget, the Democrat Party is the party of slavery, segregation, eugenics, Jim Crow.
Now they're the party of Marxism, Islamism, and anti-constitutionalism.
unidentified
That's a fact.
And it was Woodrow Wilson who did what?
He resegregated the military when he became president.
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.
unidentified
Matt said, it's like five years ago, six years ago.
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.
You never stop fighting for America, and I will never, ever stop fighting for you.
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.
Alright, so I got a simple message for you with the limited time that I have here for you.
First of all, it's an honor to be here at CPAC. This is my first time being here.
Just had a chance to speak with Matt and Mercedes, incredible people.
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.
I got a question for you.
Can you think about the two things tyrants fear?
Let me ask the question one more time.
What would you say are the two things tyrants running a country fear?
What are the two things?
First thing they fear is you and I having guns to protect ourselves.
The second thing they fear is you and I having a megaphone to express ourselves.
Now I want you to think about this.
In the last three weeks, I've interviewed two different people.
One of the ones I had on the podcast three weeks ago, he flew in the entire time he was nervous.
He was a former founder.
of the IRGC, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
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.
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.
If you go on Google, you type in founder of IRGC, you'll see his name and Khomeini's name.
I bring him on.
It's a little bit uncomfortable.
I said, so let me ask you a question.
When you guys took over the revolution, the Shah is gone.
That's the last time the Middle East was at peace.
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.
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.
I want to kind of take it back, because it's very important for us to be thinking about.
In Brazil, they have 11 Supreme Court justices, of which only two are conservative.
In Brazil, they have 81 senators, of which only 22 are conservatives.
In Brazil, they have 513 congressmen and women, of which only 130 are conservatives.
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.
The Supreme Court Justice was the other way around 6-3.
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.
I understand.
I'm with you.
But I want you to think about why this is so important.
For 25 years of my life, I was an atheist.
When you live in Iran, my mother's Armenian, her last name's Boghossian, my dad's Assyrian.
But David, I'm living in Iran.
We're a Christian family, trying to make it work.
We're going to school.
You're going to church, kind of keep it quiet.
And you dream about one day coming here.
You're like, oh my God, I can't wait to one day come to America.
It's going to be such a great deal to come to America.
I'm sitting there kind of thinking to myself about all this stuff with Iran.
And hey, the Congress, the Senate, all this stuff.
You bring it to today.
This man flips three Supreme Court justices.
He doesn't do that.
Kamala gets in.
They would have done everything in their power they could have to prevent the president from speaking.
They tried to silence him.
They took him to all the social media sites.
There's a lot of people that want to be friends with him today.
Then you go from there, you dream about coming to America, and you sit there, you think about it.
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.
I don't know about this.
People are dying in Iran.
I'm in a refugee camp in Germany for a year and a half.
You come to the States.
I'm a regular guy going to school.
Then all of a sudden, I join the army.
I go to the 101st Airborne Division Air Assault.
I'm in the Army.
I'm in my uniform, quite honestly.
I joined at first for GI Bill, and I'm standing there waiting.
We're at a Labor Day, a Memorial Day, and I see one of my chief warrant officers on this side in tears.
I see another colonel over here in tears.
I see a Sergeant First Class on this side in tears.
I'm like, why are these guys crying?
Why are they crying?
And if we go into the auditorium, they say, there's a movie coming out about your unit.
You guys are going to get a chance to watch it before the world sees it.
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.
This man hands me a Bible.
I'm like, sir, I'm the wrong guy to give you a Bible.
He says, my parents gifted me this Bible December 24th of 1974. I think you need it more than I do.
I said, I'm telling you, it's not.
You don't want to give it to me.
I'm the wrong guy.
He gives it to me.
I start praying three times a day.
Long story short, 25 years old, life changes, God's in my life, everything from there has been revolutionary.
It doesn't even make sense to me.
It's a miracle.
Here's what it made me think about.
Here's what it made me think about.
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?
Who knows what I'm talking about?
Anybody who's ever done that before?
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.
Does anybody relate?
Well, you don't do that often.
What were you praying about in June of 2024?
What were you praying about when you're sitting there?
What were we thinking about?
What was going on?
What were the issues?
Everything we're watching, what's going to be taking place?
And you mean to tell me the president is a one look away from this being assassinated, and he lives.
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.
Our paranoia goes away.
Let me just prepare you for something.
We gotta stay paranoid.
We gotta stay optimistic.
They're plotting their moves behind closed doors while you and I are here at this event.
We gotta keep recruiting the next Bobby Kennedys, the next Tulsi Gabbards, the next Elon Musk.
The next Joe Rogans, the next anybody.
We gotta recruit them over with common sense, with values, with the way we treat them.
And if we do that, the future of America will look bright like never before.
CPAC was the group that believed in President Trump when others didn't.
You stayed with him.
You worked so hard for all these years.
And you were working because you supported President Trump, but you were working because you cared deeply about America.
You wanted America to be better.
You knew that America could reach its full potential.
And now that is happening every single day, and it started here with you.
Thank you, CPAC, for everything that you've done.
Yes, President Trump has got a...
Very clear and a very powerful vision on ways to make America great again.
And at the center of that is energy dominance.
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.
He also knows that when we have energy to sell to our friends and allies, it's going to end our trade deficits.
He knows it's going to create great American jobs.
And he also knows that when we have energy to sell to our allies, it's going to end the wars abroad.
And he is someone who wants to stop the killing.
He wants to end wars.
And President Trump, I believe, for that work, is going to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
And this is a group that can help that happen for him.
Yes, President Trump knows better than anyone that energy dominance is the foundation for American prosperity, for affordability, and world peace.
The Biden administration, wow, what a mess that we've inherited.
The Biden administration, at the core of everything they're doing, were beholden to a group of climate extremists.
And when those climate extremists got the Biden administration to declare war on U.S. energy...
And when they declared war on U.S. energy, it didn't reduce demand.
It just shifted the supply to our adversaries across the world, to places like Iran.
Iran, who sold hundreds of billions of dollars of energy through ghost ships and front companies to fund 24 terror groups against us.
But President Trump wants that to stop.
And he's got full maximum pressure against Iran.
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.
But back home, the climate extremists that wanted to shut down U.S. energy, what did they do to Americans?
They raised the price of everything.
Electricity prices, 30 percent higher under the Biden administration.
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.
This is all what we've inherited.
And when we have high energy costs, that hurts our economy and we de-industrialize.
And that's why President Trump on day one declared a national energy emergency.
It wasn't just about price at the pump.
He understood the mess that Biden left us, and that's why he declared that energy emergency.
And part of that solution, last Friday, he created the National Energy Dominance Council.
He asked me to chair it.
He asked Chris Wright to be the vice chair.
And with that, with the work that we're going to be doing, it covers everything.
It covers electricity.
It covers oil and gas.
It covers biofuels.
It covers export.
It covers exploration.
All the things that we need to do to have our country become an energy powerhouse.
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.
The climate extremists worshipped an ideology that defied physics, economics, and common sense.
They believed that that was the existential threat.
I will tell you that there's two existential threats that this administration believes.
And one existential threat was Iran getting a nuclear weapon.
That would change the world.
And this administration, working with our allies, is going to make sure that doesn't happen.
And the second thing is, the second existential threat is losing the artificial intelligence arms race.
To China.
This country has shut down more electricity than China has opened in the last 12 months.
And we need electricity, because electricity drives AI data centers, and AI data centers manufacture intelligence.
And when we manufacture intelligence, it's going to change every job, every company, every industry.
It's going to make the federal government more productive.
But no, what did the Biden administration do?
They focused on highly subsidized, unreliable, unaffordable, and weather-dependent sources of energy.
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.
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.
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.
We have today, for the first time, I was in tech for 30 years before I ever ran for office.
We never used more than 1% of the nation's electricity in the whole technology sector.
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.
The whole plan was crazy.
But what do we have right now under President Trump?
President Trump knows that we weren't in some kind of mythical energy transition.
He knows that we've got to have energy addition.
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.
It was in the 1880s.
Anybody know?
Anybody know what that was in the 1800s when we transitioned off energy?
But President Trump's got a plan for energy dominance that's going to help drive us forward.
All of you know that we've got $36.5 trillion of debt because we hear it over and over again.
But has anybody ever come on this stage and told you how much America's assets are?
No, because nobody knows what they are.
And the Biden administration is playing hide the ball.
But in the Trump administration, we're going to build that balance sheet.
And we have trillions and trillions of dollars worth of natural resources.
And we're going to make sure that we understand that our assets far exceed the debt that we have.
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.
For you, your kids, and your grandkids, and with a stroke of a pen, said, we're never going to develop that.
But he's robbing us of those revenues and also of the American dream.
But President Trump got into office with an executive order.
He reversed that ban.
That 625 million acres is back on our balance sheet, including some of those acres are where?
They're in the Gulf of America.
One of the other falsehoods is somehow that those climate extremists cared more about the environment than any of us in this room.
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.
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.
We can do both of these things in our country.
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.
They don't have any kind of regulatory environment like we have.
And so it's cleaner.
If you care about the environment, you want every drop of energy, every electron to be produced in the United States.
That's the way to save the planet.
And the Biden administration, they sanctioned Alaska.
Sixty-eight times with executive orders.
Sixty-eight times Joe Biden issued orders that tried to shut down energy development in Alaska.
They sanctioned Alaska more than they did Iran, if you can believe it.
But those days are over.
One of the other executive orders that President Trump signed is one not just unleashing American energy, but unleashing Alaska's potential.
And when we do that, we have an opportunity to sell energy to Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, our allies in the Pacific.
Who we need more than ever because of the growing threat of China.
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.
But the U.S. Geologic Survey, which is part of Interior, we've got a job.
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.
So we're going to map baby map, and then we're also going to mine baby mine.
We're going to mine baby mine because we've got to get critical minerals developed back in our country.
We can't be dependent.
We're buying uranium from Russia for our nuclear plants.
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.
President Trump is the greatest economic developer that's ever existed.
Nobody sells America better than he does.
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.
In those meetings, President Trump said to those leaders, you've got a deficit, a trade deficit with our country.
We think you should solve that.
What would you like to buy from us?
Perhaps some energy?
30 years ago, he wrote the international bestseller, The Art of the Deal, President Trump did.
I've seen him in action.
Right now, every day, he's writing the sequel to that of The Art of the Deal in real time.
Yes, he is, but he's dealing with the world leaders.
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.
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.
unidentified
But I am honored to join Moms for America today as we speak out against the horrific mandates.
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.
The most dangerous place in all of nature is between a mama bear and her baby cub.
We are the change.
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.
So if not now, then win.
If not you, then who?
Welcome to the Moonlight Revolution!
Freedom.
Sovereignty, prosperity.
The Patriots for Europe Foundation is on a mission to make Europe great again.
Globalist elites have led Europe into a dead-end street.
Violent crime has surged because of mass immigration.
The Green Deal has put the future of the European economy at risk.
Fake NGOs and the massive bureaucracy in Brussels are interfering in our democracies.
Patriots must take action.
We bring analysis.
We organize debates.
We build the network of patriots to challenge the woke narrative head on.
Patriots for Europe Foundation.
America is under attack.
Our families are being crushed under the politics of a radical agenda.
But moms have had enough.
We are standing up and we are fighting back.
This is our battle.
This battle is every bit as important as a revolutionary war because we fight for the same thing.
Moms for America is a national movement of moms reclaiming our culture for truth, family, freedom, and the Constitution.
So I'm wearing a bow tie today, not my usual attire, in honor of Dr. Peter Hotez.
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.
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.
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.
And what he's laid out, the mission he's laid out for my friend, your friend too, Bobby Kennedy.
This amazing new Secretary of HHS that, I mean, can you believe this?
He's both a bodybuilder and a biohacker.
That's what we have as our Secretary.
And so, what is Maha?
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.
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.
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.
Protecting the health of children in America.
It talks about child's health.
It talks about the epidemic we have now of all kinds of chronic diseases, including autism in our children.
And it talks about the over-medication with Ritalin and all these other drugs.
We're basically drugging our children into obedience and oblivion using these agents.
Getting them to be complacent in the schools so they don't cause trouble.
Making it easier to control them.
That has got to stop.
And that is the mission of the Make America Healthy Again movement.
Within 12 to 18 months, this is the President's mandate.
Within 12 to 18 months, Bobby Kennedy has got to show measurable improvements in public health for American citizens.
Now that is a tall order.
Frankly, he's got to let loose the dogs of war.
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.
But Bobby Kennedy, okay, Bobby Kennedy did not work alone, okay?
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.
Maybe they had a child that had been vaccine injured.
Maybe they were poisoned by something.
And millions and millions of Americans basically were not...
Many of us were just simply not aware that there was this growing movement of people that were looking at root causes of health.
And Bobby was kind of a central figure in this.
So him coming in as the HHS secretary, I mean, this is the...
In terms of budget, the largest of the departments, right?
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.
But we also have to have our own kind of individual agency here.
We can't let cash have to deal with this entire problem or our foreign policy establishment deal with the entirety of that.
So if we have enough time, we'll talk a little bit about things that can be done about fentanyl.
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.
But let's talk for a moment about what is public health.
We all hear about public health.
Today's public health is not about medicine.
It's not about the physician-patient relationship.
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.
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.
We have to get back to decentralized health under the control of you, the patient.
But what do we have right now in public health?
Public health is basically...
Grounded in utilitarianism.
It is functionally socialism.
It is the logic of the greatest good for the greatest number.
That is absolutely the centerpiece of modern public health and it's based on big data.
It's based on big data analysis of what on average is best for you.
And then a top-down approach to cause you to comply.
With what the numbers say under close analysis is best for you.
And as a consequence, public health has destroyed the practice of medicine.
This is why your docs have no options.
They have to treat you based on protocol because that's what public health is saying they have to do.
Public health is taking over medicine.
And as I say, it is focused on outcomes.
Optimizing outcomes, the best outcomes for all of us, what it needs to do is focus on opportunity.
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.
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.
They've snuck some stuff in while Bobby was busy focused on confirmation.
They've snuck in a UN Agenda 2030 item called One Health.
The CDC surreptitiously agreed to the One Health policies of the World Economic Forum and the United Nations and the World Health Organization.
What is One Health?
Who's against One Health?
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.
But in One Health, your health is equivalent to the health of animals.
Your health is equivalent to the health of a lab rat.
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.
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.
Something that was in progress for two, three years under the Biden administration, they managed to sneak in.
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.
And this is what Bobby really needs your help with.
This is what Maha needs your help with.
He is going to be up against an entrenched bureaucracy that is going to fight him tooth and nail every step of the way.
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.
We support a focus on health in Americans.
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.
Now, we only have a little bit of time left, but let's talk a little bit about bird flu.
But now, even according to the CDC, bird flu is not a major risk for humans.
It doesn't transmit from human to human.
It's not putting people in the hospital and they're not dying at any kind of a rate.
Bird flu needs to be controlled.
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.
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.
I argue that instead of vaccinating chickens with a zoetous mismatched leaky bird flu vaccine, heard anything like that before?
Say COVID? Okay, which will drive the evolution of more vaccine-resistant bird flu strains.
We need to rethink this whole strategy.
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.
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.
Susie Wiles, Chris Lasavita, Michael Watley at the RNC. What a difference a campaign can make.
And Jim and John McLaughlin on the polling, thank you, Jim, for your great work.
unidentified
And you know what?
We've been with President Trump from the very beginning.
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.
I can't tell you that Matt is exactly right.
Susie Wilds, Chris Lasavita, Chairman Watley, and I don't think I've ever complimented an RNC chairman.
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.
I was doing Media Row, and I was pregnant with my child.
I was wearing this big blazer, and now I have a seven-month-old baby, and we're at the White House.
We've seen judges in courts acting like judicial activists.
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.
And we are not going to be deterred.
The president will not be deterred.
He is going to continue moving forward, delivering on the promises he made.
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.
And then he sometimes will ask you, do you want one too?
And so, and you really don't say no.
Even if you don't like Diet Coke, guys, I'm sorry, you don't say no.
But, you know, when he comes to you and he says, Caroline, this is what we need to say.
I mean, give us an insight as to one of those instances that you can recall that you were like, wow, okay.
He's also the communications director of the White House because he dictates the message.
He executes the agenda.
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.
Every speech that is written, every executive order that is signed, where most politicians, you just hand them the script and they read it.
President Trump cares about every word he is saying and every action he is taking.
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.
I brought three of our big guns yesterday.
We had Stephen Miller and Mike Waltz and Kevin Hassett join me at the podium to celebrate one month.
And I lean on the policy experts in the building and, you know, to figure out what is fake news versus what is truth.
So a lot of preparation, a lot of reading, talking to the president to understand his thinking.
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.
I'm working for a man who said things and he's delivering on those things every day.
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.
But I remember those exchanges between Sarah and this guy.
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?
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.
Family support.
And our team at the White House.
We really have a great team.
And you talked about how the media tried to cause so much division within the White House in the first term.
They're trying to do it, but I think they're failing.
They are not getting away with it because we truly have such great camaraderie.
And the people I work with every day, they're friends and we're together.
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.
So there's this thing called the press pool, and they walk...
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.
He thrives on it.
Tell me about those exchanges.
I just feel like the press, they're really...
I mean, I don't know if they can work these 24-hour cycles of President Trump's new administration.
Actually, the president was signing two more when I left the White House, so 75 executive orders.
Quadruple the number of Barack Obama, double the number of Joe Biden in that same period of time.
He is outworking every president ever, and the media can't keep up.
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.
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.
This is the most transparent and accessible president we have ever had, despite what the media wants to say.
I asked him the question, what is your message to young men?
There's a lot of young women out there, young girls, who really admire you.
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.
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.
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.
Caroline Lovett's Rejection00:17:29

Screw them.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Ladies and gentlemen, Caroline Lovett, your press secretary.
Thank you.
Pledge of Allegiance00:07:18
unidentified
Good morning and welcome to CPAC. Please join me for the Pledge of Allegiance to our great country.
of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Thank you.
And I'm afraid in the whole of the brave.
God bless you and God bless America.
Please be seated.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Pastor Joshua Neverett with today's invocation.
Before I begin to pray, I just want to say that we are living in the greatest time of our era, the Golden Age.
And I want to thank God for the greatest president of our lifetime, President Donald J. Trump.
Let us pray.
Heavenly Father, we come before you for this great and victorious event at CPAC. We want to thank you for the leadership at CPAC, Matt and Mercedes Schlapp, because you've allowed them to lead a great organization with American patriots.
And we want to thank you for America.
The greatest nation of our lifetime.
And because of you, Lord, we've turned our eyes and sought your face and your righteousness.
And now we are blessed with the golden age.
But we ask you that you bless America, bless our people, and bless our allies.
We pray, God, for a victorious event over the next four days, that it be a safe event.
As we strategize and we look upon the heavens, that you find favor over us, Lord, and you continue to bless America.
Lord, we ask you that you protect our president and the vice president and all of leadership, and that you put favor over America.
We ask you these things in the name that's above every name, that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
We have a very special guest who's going to be here during the conference.
You know, kind of like a tech titan maybe.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, because thank God we're back to two genders.
Elon Musk will be here on the CPAC stage.
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.
You honor us with your presence and your courage and your strength.
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.
We're supported by all the nations that were assembled at our second annual CPAC International Summit.
We are working not as government entities, but as entities outside government to push for these policies.
And Gordon Chang wrote a very important resolution to combat the Chinese regime, the communist regime in China.
And I want all of these despots and dictators to know That Donald Trump might talk to you.
He might make you feel like you're welcome because that's part of his job.
But in the end, we have a president that's going to stop you cold in your tracks.
And all of these countries accepted that resolution as well.
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...
We have a message to the globalists.
Last year, Mercy and I stood on the stage and we said globalism, at CPAC, globalism was going to die.
I thought that was an audacious statement.
I thought we'd just say it.
Right, Jerry?
Let's just say it.
And then it happened.
It's kind of amazing.
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.
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.
And a part of that is, and this is a great way to start.
We just had Natasha out here and the great pastor from Arizona who was with us on the campaign trail in Arizona.
Part of that is, can we all just thank God for giving us a president who knows how to lead?
And I'll expand that to a great young vice president who knows how to lead.
All these resolutions passed.
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.
You are the reason because President Trump is in the White House today.
All of you, each and every one of you fought hard, stood up.
We all shared this incredible optimistic message that we need to save America and in essence save the world.
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.
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.
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.
Can you please let us applaud together, let us welcome the greatest Vice President of America, JD Vance.
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.
Because I think he realizes this is a special moment in time.
And by the way, thank you.
Thanks to all of you for making it possible for us to do all the great work we've been doing.
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.
Well, speaking of the press, I do think that we've had maybe more executive orders than CNN has viewers each night.
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...
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.
But look, I think that what the president has tried to do is recognize that we have a historical mandate on a few issues.
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.
He recognizes that we have to really unlock the engine of American growth.
We've got to get back to having a growing economy that creates good jobs and high wages for the American people.
And a lot of that goes back to drill, baby drill.
We've done more on energy 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.
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?
Like, for example, the stuff that we've figured out, Mercedes, is unbelievable.
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.
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.
Can you please let us applaud together, let us welcome the greatest Vice President of America, J.D. Vance.
Because I think he realizes this is a special moment in time.
And by the way, thank you.
Thanks to all of you for making it possible for us to do all the great work we've been doing in the administration.

Like, for example...
The stuff that we've figured out, Mercedes, is unbelievable.
Well, our message to the drug traffickers is get the hell out of our country.
Your free ride is over because President Trump is back in the Oval Office.
You're not welcome.
You were never welcome, according to the American people.
But unfortunately, you had President Joe Biden who allowed you to run free.
Over the United States of America.
And Donald Trump has said, you're terrorist organizations.
We're going to go after you.
We're going to wage war on you.
And certainly, we want you out of the United States of America.
And that's an important message, of course.
But our message, and you know this, Mercedes, our message to the families is President Trump cares about you.
He thinks that it's disgraceful what your own government let happen to your children, to your grandchildren.
And it's got to stop.
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?
And the answer is that under Joe Biden, your government didn't do its job.
On the economy, and I'm getting this question all the time, you know, it's this question of affordability, right?
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.
Yeah, so one of the first interviews I did, it was, I think, six or seven days after the inauguration.
And somebody asked me, well, it's been six days.
What have you gone on to fix the inflation crisis created by Joe Biden?
I'm like, well, first of all, it's been six days.
We've done a lot in six days.
But it's going to take some time to fix what Joe Biden broke over four years.
And we know...
It is easy, unfortunately, to burn the house down.
It takes a little bit of time to build it back up.
And here's what we have to do.
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.
That is the whole goal of President Trump's agenda.
Safety and prosperity, right?
It's pretty common sense stuff.
And we know that to do that, we have to, first of all, unleash American...
The prices got too high under Joe Biden's leadership.
Well, one of the main drivers of groceries is energy.
Because if the farmers are paying more for energy, then we're all paying more for what the farmers grow.
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.
If we unleash American energy, that will do more than anything to drive down the cost for the American people.
The second thing, Mercedes, is we have got to stop spending the American We are used to it.
It has never been more critical for the United States to lead with strength and moral clarity.
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.
In closing, I will forever be grateful to my constituents in New York's 21st District.
Ten years ago, upstate and North Country voters took a chance on a young, first-time, unknown candidate.
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.
Whether it's standing up for election integrity, whether it's defeating Liz Cheney to unify the Republican Party...

I'll always be your friend.
Are we ready to make America great again?
Yeah!
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,
It's so great to be back at CPAC with the Republican trifecta.
A Republican House, a Republican Senate, and of course, President Donald J. Trump in the White House.
Now we know none of this would have been possible without you, the American people.
So I want to thank you for years of hard work, sacrifice, and dedication.
To fire Joe Biden, elect President Trump to save America.
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.
The left and their loyal stenographers in the mainstream media stooped to new and disgraceful lows.
They tried everything.
Vicious smears, unprecedented attacks on his family, unconstitutional impeachments, and illegal lawfare by a weaponized and corrupt justice system.
President Trump even faced an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
But by the grace of God, he prevailed and we are here today.
Americans know that God was truly watching over America and President Trump on that fateful day.
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.
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.
A mandate to make America strong again, safe again, healthy again, wealthy again, and to once and for all make America great again.
And President Trump has wasted no time delivering on the promises he made to the American people.
He has already accomplished more in four weeks than Joe Biden did in four years.
The tremendous results speak for themselves.
On day one, President Trump signed hundreds of executive orders securing our border, deporting illegals, unleashing American energy.
Ending woke DEI policies, lowering prices, increasing accountability, and ushering in a new golden age for the American people.
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.
Thank you to the soldiers and their families for saving our country and protecting our borders.
Climb to glory, Tenth Mountain!
President Trump also signed into law the Lakin-Riley Act, the first bill passed by our House Republican majority in Congress.
President Trump has ended catch and release, restored Remain in Mexico, restarted building the wall, and rightfully declared cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
President Trump is not only securing our nation, he is rebuilding the broken and failed Biden economy of inflation, malaise, and weakness.
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.
And this is because President Trump knows that a strong, safe and prosperous America at home is a strong America abroad.
Our economic security, our border security, our energy security is also our national security.
And the world is watching as President Trump reasserts his America first peace through strength foreign policy.
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.
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.
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.
Just look at President Trump's record of international peace and security in his first term.
He negotiated the historic Abraham Accords, the largest step to peace in the Middle East in over a quarter of a century.
President Trump's maximum pressure campaign crippled Iran's capability to threaten instability in the region.
His administration marked the only time that Putin did not invade another country.
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.
And now look at what President Trump has already accomplished in just one month.
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.
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.
And President Trump is already effectively working to bring peace to the Russia-Ukraine war to stop the bloodshed.
He's restored maximum pressure on Iran and re-designated the Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization.
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.
And at the UN, we are already at work with President Trump delivering results.
We left the WHO, which covered up the truth about COVID. President Trump terminated the America Last Paris Climate Agreement.
President Trump rightfully withdrew from the UN Human Rights Council that is a corrupt farce run by the worst abusers on the planet.
The Trump administration imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court, an illegitimate court fueled by raging antisemitism and anti-Americanism.
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.
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.
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.
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.
And of course, our U.S. embassies have been instructed to fly the beautiful American flag and only our American flag.
This is moral leadership.
This is strong leadership.
This is President Trump's America first peace through strength.
Now I want to ask you, let me ask you this question.
Do you all remember that famous congressional hearing with the anti-Semitic university presidents from Harvard and Penn?
I should say former presidents after my questions.
Five down and so many to go.
And mark my words, That hearing is the type of strong moral leadership that I will deliver at the United Nations on day one.
And I know...
That I will be serving as the United States Ambassador to the United Nations and not the other way around.
And I will always stand up for the American people, American sovereignty, and our America First values.
That means I will always defend America's most precious ally, Israel.
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,
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.
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.
The world must never forget.
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.
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.
The heinous...
It will never be Israel's fight alone.
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.
And it has never been more important to show the world's unequivocal support for Israel.
And it is clear that under President Trump's leadership, America stands steadfast in support of Israel and the Jewish people.
and we will not rest until every hostage is brought home and Hamas is eradicated.
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.
We will not fund corruption.
We will not fund anti-Semitism.
and we will not fund anti-Americanism.
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.
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.
And let's take a moment to talk about DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency.
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...
Doge is a threat to the swamp's bureaucracy.
Doge is draining the swamp just like President Trump said he would.
And how about this?
I think we need a global doge.
We must expose the reckless and anti-Semitic and anti-American spending at the United Nations, and we will.
So get ready.
We are just one month in.
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.
Thank you again to all the patriots here at CPAC and across the nation.
God bless you, God bless President Donald J. Trump, and God bless the United States of America.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome CPAC Senior Fellow Mercedes Schlapp and CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp.
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.
So how appropriate to have our next ambassador to the United Nations here with us today.
Ten years ago, I had this amazing opportunity.
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.
He did something unusual.
He asked a lot of questions.
And I thought, he can't run for president.
He's too inquisitive and intellectual.
And after that, I remember being on MSNBC and being asked, why?
Donald Trump would run with all of the slurs that then was put before me on television.
And I remember in my brain thinking, this is the moment.
You're either going to start off by criticizing him or you're going to defend him.
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.
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.
We've stood on this stage and had the audacity to say that globalism would die.
And lo and behold, I think it just did.
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.
We knew in our hearts.
We knew in our souls.
That there was only one man ordained to do this most impossible of jobs.
And that was verified by the tragedy that occurred in Pennsylvania.
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.
The fraudsters, liars, cheaters, globalists, and deep state bureaucrats are being sent packing.
The illegal alien criminals are being sent home.
We're draining the swamp and we're restoring government by the people, for the people.
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.
But on November 5th, we stood up.
To all the corrupt forces that were destroying America, we took away their power.
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.
I think we're going to do fantastically well in the midterms.
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.
We're at a level.
I don't think we've been at this level maybe ever as the Republican Party.
We're a bigger, better, stronger party than ever before.
More people in our party than ever before.
But the people have given us a resounding mandate for dramatic change in Washington, and we are going to deliver it.
We're going to use it.
And we're going to make America great again by using it.
So it's going to be something.
But think of it, at the presidential level, we won the popular vote.
By millions and millions of votes, we swept all seven swing states.
Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada.
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.
Politicalization of our intelligence agencies, we confirmed Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who is something very respected, highly respected.
And to make America healthy again, we confirmed Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Great guy.
On our first day in office, we declared a national emergency at our southern border.
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.
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.
That was Tom Holman, Kristi Noem, the whole group.
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.
Because it wasn't meant for these children.
It wasn't meant for people that escaped or invaded, came into our country illegally.
It was meant for the children of slaves.
Because when it was done, many, many years ago, it was during a very tough period in this country's history.
And that was meant for the children of slaves.
I wish people would understand that so they could...
Get this thing approved.
And we don't have millions and millions of people coming into our country and they shouldn't be here.
This week I also cancelled temporary protected status for migrants from Haiti.
They're pouring into our country.
Pouring in.
If I weren't elected president, there'd be nobody in Haiti anymore.
They were pouring in at levels.
From other countries too.
All over Africa, the Congo, all over South America.
And they were coming in from prisons and mental institutions and insane asylums, jails and gang members.
You have to see gang members, drug lords, people that are drug addicted.
They were sending them all into our ridiculous and very stupid Biden open border.
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...
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.
He didn't like people running into our country and taking over our country.
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!
One thing about the Democrats, they have rotten, horrible policy, the worst policy in history, but they stick together.
We have great policy, but sometimes they don't stick.
But they've been sticking for us.
They've been sticking.
And I think the speaker and the leader have done a fantastic job.
That's Thune and Johnson.
And I think they've done two guys really working hard and doing a...
They're really doing a great job.
But we have a lot to stick with.
We have a lot to stick together for because what we've done has never been done before.
Nobody's ever seen anything like this.
And nobody's ever seen four weeks like we've had.
Especially the four weeks, the first four weeks.
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.
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?
Like a baseball player, he gets up and he hits that first one, and then the second at bat, he hits that one.
And you see these Venezuelan planes loaded up with some real nice people.
You wouldn't have wanted to be the pilot on any of those planes.
But they know we're not playing games.
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.
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.
Now you have a president who is stamping their ticket to Gitmo.
What a one-way trip back to the places from which they came.
Wonderful places.
Big difference.
My administration is also moving swiftly to save the U.S. economy from the train wreck of inflation and worse that Joe Biden created.
I withdrew from the one-sided Paris Climate Accord.
It was a disaster.
That was a disaster.
I terminated the Green News scam.
One of the greatest hoaxes ever played on this country is the Green News scam.
We spent trillions of dollars on this nonsense, and just a total hoax.
It really set back our country, I want to tell you, monetarily and every other way.
And I canceled Joe Biden's insane electric vehicle mandate, where everybody has to have it electric.
And if you want an electric car, get an electric car.
If you want a gasoline-powered car, if you want to have a hybrid, you get it.
The only thing you can't do is a hydrogen-powered car.
You know why?
They said it really works great, but when it doesn't work, you never find the body.
It's a bad...
That's a bad sign.
You know, when it doesn't work, they found the body on a tree about 250 yards up the road.
It's seriously bad.
So we'll leave hydrogen out of it for a little while, I think.
Maybe permanently.
I'd say permanently.
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.
We're giving billions and billions of dollars to countries that hate us.
And I signed an order creating the Department of Government Efficiency.
You probably haven't heard of it.
Which is now waging war on government waste, fraud, and abuse.
And Elon is doing a great job.
He's doing a great job.
We love Elon, don't we, Ezekiel?
He's a character.
With his son, X. We love X. He's the only one kid get away.
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.
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.
But there are in the social security ranks and files.
And what we're doing now is finding out, do they get paid?
Do they get paid?
In other words, is somebody taking all of this money?
So they have over 100 to 109, 4.7 million social security numbers.
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.
We want to make governments smaller, more efficient.
We want to keep the best people, and we're not going to keep the worst people.
But I just want you to know we're working on that.
That's a very big part of it.
And I don't like talking about it because we're in the middle of negotiations.
But it's a very, very sad...
It's a very sad...
Would have never happened...
There was no way Russia was never going to go in.
And they went in because of a lot of reasons.
So many people are dead.
Far more people are dead than you're reading about.
You know, when they blow up all these cities, all those cities are, they look like demolition sites.
Every single building is down.
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.
They're just lying on the ground, never to be rebuilt again, not possible to rebuild them again.
And all of that heritage is gone.
People have done a really horrible job.
If I were president, zero chance that a shot would even have been fired.
It wouldn't have happened.
So sad.
To further turbocharge our economy, we have launched the most aggressive deregulation program in any nation's history.
And we're also going to be seeking the largest tax cuts in American history.
Again, we...
We brought them down, as you know, from close to 40% down to 21%.
Now we're bringing them down to 15% if you make your product in the United States of America.
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.
So many others, whether they were union or non-union, they all supported us.
I always say it's my favorite word in the dictionary.
The word tariff is my favorite word in the dictionary.
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.
But they charged tariffs, and we had so much money, they set up the 1887. Think of that a long time ago.
1887 Tariff Commission.
It was a commission of very important people to determine where we should spend all of the tremendous vast wealth that we had.
We had so much wealth.
Wouldn't it be nice today?
Of course, now we give it away to transgender this, transgender that.
Everybody gets a transgender operation.
It's just wonderful.
We give it away to crazy things.
But in those days, it was different.
It was a different world.
It was a different country.
But we were very rich because of tariffs.
And I get myself in trouble because I say that tariff is my favorite word and the fake news went crazy.
What about God?
What about wife and family?
What about love?
I said, okay, tariff is now my fourth favorite word.
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.
Some of them are coming home in very bad condition, and some of them are coming home only as bodies.
We banned the use of puberty blockers, hormone injections, and other chemical and surgical mutilation of your youth.
Could you imagine making a speech like this ten years ago?
People would say, what the hell is he talking about, right?
This is a sickness that came along with critical race theory and all of the other things that we had to put up with.
And it's all out now, critical race theory and trends, gender insanity, it's all gone from our schools and from our military.
And I believe it's gone, too.
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.
And I've directed the reinstatement of any service member who was expelled from the armed forces due to the COVID vaccine mandate.
They will be returned to their former rank with full back pay.
I ended Joe Biden's weaponization as soon as I got in.
I said, I'm going to hit him with the same stuff.
But I ended his whole weaponization of our government and removed his handpicked radical left Marxist prosecutors from the Department of Justice.
I was so happy to do that.
They weaponized government.
They weaponized government.
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.
Who did the worst job of anybody in the history of transportation.
What a bunch of losers.
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.
We took away their security clearances.
And they're not allowed to enter any government building either.
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.
Because this should never be allowed to happen again.
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.
And on a friendlier note, I renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.
And we are restoring the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount McKinley in Alaska.
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.
This is the first time in 23 years.
That's hard to believe.
And we had one poll where we're at...
81% right track, wrong track.
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.
You know, when it comes to a day where you can't challenge crooked elections, we've got a real problem in this country.
And as of January 20th, 2025, the dark days of high taxes, crushing regulations, rampant inflation, flagrant corruption, government weaponization, and total incompetence.
