And the need to call out fake news, we are going to have more of that in just a few minutes. You know, a central focus in today was america and the need to put us first. Watch. The core conviction of the movement is that we are a nation that put and will put its own citizens first. [cheers and applause] and our victory was a victory for everyone who believes its time to stand upor america, to stand up for the American Worker and to stand up for the american flag. Im not representing the globe. Im representing your country. There is one allegiance that units us all and that is to america. America. Trish all right. I want to go to blake berman who is at the white house. We are just a short time ago the president signed a new executive order, this is another busy day for him, right, blake . Blake yes, it is. At the cpac speech President Trump wants to put regulatory business out of business, regulations coming in focus on this day as just a couple of hours ago President Trump signed execu
For core democratic norm. We are lucky to have a terrific panel and a leading voice in democracy issue. Trumps refusal to divest himself over his sprawling businesses means he has assumed power with the gravest set of conflicts ever facing an american president. Whats worse, is that we dont know the extent of his financial conflicts including significant debt held by foreign banks because he continues to hide his tax returns. This is a especially concerning in terms of the continuing ref havelations of his ties to russia. There is every reason to worry that foreign businesses and governments will have too much influence over trumps decisions and that trump will provide special favors and treatment to Business Partners. Already a month into his presidency, the trumps continue to promote their private business interest, going so far to have their products hawked from the White House Briefing room. We are honored to have congressman sarbanes join us at cap today because he distinguished h

A number of historic sites. Did not play a role . I was interested in stories. I read a lot. I had a Terrible High School teacher, i must say. He was horrible, but it did not dampen my interest. I read history and enjoyed it. I had planned to go into the Foreign Service. I was going to surf my three years in the air force, as a rotc commitment and go to fletcher school. It is connected to georgetown, it was a Foreign Service officer training school. My experience and being arbitrarily treated by the federal government in the military soured me on working for the government, so i changed my mind in japan, to apply to graduate school and i never graduated at all ive never regretted it at all. Any book you found particularly challenging or found something quite different . Im not sure i found something different. I had a sense of the outline of that we became a much more Democratic Society by the early 19th century and that this transformed our culture in fundamental ways. The emergence o
That is what he said. At his inauguration. I trusted most of you in this room when you heard that promise and many americans, and when you heard it it rang hollow.

He has flouted the constitution by receiving numerous emoluments both foreign and domestic and will continue to do so should he not take meaningful steps to relinquish ownership of his many business assets
