test captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2008 >> it's one of the best things you can become. >> right there. thank you. >> if you become one in your neighborhood you get a 15% increase on average turnout for the president. we had 3,000 of those in 2016. we're on pace right now for 90,000 in 2020. >> that's awesome. >> on top of that, we were about six, seven states strongly this time. we're in 17 states. we've increased and doubled our budget pretty much of our ground operation across the country. let me give you a great thing about expanding the map. there are several states last time we didn't win, new hampshire, minnesota, nevada, new mexico. if you look at new mexico and minnesota our budget for those two states was $25,000, one staffer, sent them to colorado because we didn't think we were going to win it. this time we're talking about tens of millions more staff on the ground than the entire 2015 ground game and you already have them in those states fighting for it. we only lost minnesota by a small amount and if you look at what's happening with latinos across the country they're coming in huge waves and the president and now new mexico is in play. >> let me try to weave this in a bit. the rnc was involved with us. >> that's tv alive. >> the first day of cpac was training because we don't just want to talk at you, we want to work together with you to learn to be better activists including on-line activists and we've done one cpac in minnesota and we'll do another. cpac west in reno, nevada. we're going to be back in nevada for another cpac west. everyone has a role to play to take back this country and keep it great. >> as they continue to move towards big government socialist policies, they all raise their hand to give you free health care to illegal immigrants. they continue to say they want to take away private insurance to take give way to big government, you're going to see new states come in play. america is going to say this isn't what i believe in. the crazy progressive way running toward their small dollar fundraising will not work across america. >> the president said it. america will never be a socialist country. >> turn around. our theme, our theme as you all know for cpac 2020 america versus socialism. for laura with your father and family, you were new to politics, this wasn't your bag. >> that's true. >> one of the things that i think like so much about you. >> thank you. >> you got into this because you realized where the country was. that's why donald trump got into it. he saw america under the eight years of obama and he saw it getting broken down. >> yeah. my father-in-law was probably like so many of us in this room, so frustrated by what he saw happening to this country and the wasteful spending. i don't know if anybody remembers the shrimp on the treadmill, remember that, stuff like that, ten years ago, just a ridiculous waste of our money instead of revitalizing and rebuilding our military and making sure that things were working for people in this country, trade was working for us, people had jobs. there was prosperity and he got so frustrated like you said and he said, i think i'm the only person that can do this job because don't forget donald trump didn't need this job, right. he doesn't need washington, d.c. he doesn't need any of the special interest groups, the lobbying groups. he's not playing their game. that's why they fight him so hard every single day, right. they know. he's taking it to him every day. but for all of us, we were all brand new to politics. it will come as a shock if you saw our campaign in 2016, it was very grassroots we'll say. >> weight that? >> it is it win though. >> i wouldn't change it for anything in the world. we learned a lot then and nows the good news, as we're in 2020, the president said it in 2016, what do you have to lose by voting for me, right. now guys, we have everything to lose and that is why this election is so, so important. >> i have to say there was the what do you have to lose, which i think he thought of one day and said it, it could be wrong. >> off the cuff, totally. >> and the other thing, this idea you're going to get tired of winning. >> is anybody in here tired of winning? no. >> i'm going to be honest, okay, i'm not tired of winning but i am exhausted because the pace, the pace is unbelievable. the pace that you all are keeping. >> there's 249 days to go. i'm not counting. >> we can do it. well so i think the other thing about your father-in-law, which i think people would love to hear and you talk to them all the time as i know, is there's this constant portrayal that he's a mad king storming around and yelling at everybody, you know, trying to like use the law to get back at his enemy, my experience, not like yours, or that like he's just in the fight all the time. >> i have a great story to tell about all this. one day in the oval sitting there and get a news alert, trump storming mad at the white house and i'm meeting with him, i'm like, are you mad? he's drinking a diet coke, what would i be mad about? i had been with him for a couple hours. he's like -- we were joking about stuff and having a gad day and he was like, they said i'm mad. then he yells in the hall, when is the last time i've been mad. so funny but the article after article write off that article love to self-feed. >> there's no due diligence left in journalism. it is dead, right. they just take -- it's click bait. you know how it works. >> somebody looked through the window and he flailed his hand at me i don't want another diet coke, he's mad. it's amazing. how many times we wake up and when -- the most amazing when you really know, i actually know, you tap into my brain, i know these things are going on, you read article after article and maybe one sentence is true and they sensationalize it before and after and then add a thing called analysis, which all of them are not too bright. there's a few of them. i always got to say that in case they're listening. there's a lot that don't know what's going on. they write their analysis like it's fact. when they do that, that's what you get in the current news media. they have to do that because you won't click on the link and they won't make money. it's a vicious spiral that's occurred. there's a good one. >> jeffrey lauren, hello. >> good writer. >> do you guys get it out there? you know what's real and not these days? matt, right. otherwise, if this president was only concerned with himself, why would we be winning so much in this country and be so much success. truly the things he's doing every single day he's doing because he loves this country and he wants everyone to have their shot at the american dream. bottom line. it's very frustrating i think for him as we all can imagine, to see this kind of nonsense out there. >> let me give you -- does anybody like data? >> brad does a. we know brad does. >> i like data a little bit if you've heard, but i'll tell you one thing very interesting, if you listen to his state of the union speech and listen to it yourself and you listened to it through a media filter, 50-point difference in approval. think about that. you hear the president speak, you're like wow, i didn't know he stood for that. they'll never tell you anything good. they will take the two seconds of things they think are the most, you know, nefarious or scandalous things, put them together in a clip and repeat it a thousand times to where you think the state of the union was the introduction. that's what they do. so it's all about the handshake or the tear or this or that but don't gives the guts of the speech where he gave one of the most presidential speeches in history, future of america. the best is yet to come. they don't know that. if they did, the approval numbers would be greater. what you're seeing happening across this country, democrats fall into complete chaos as they can't even count votes which i think all of us could do on excel. i still can't figure out how they can't count 50,000 votes. >> it's called common core, brad. i want you to know. >> school choice. >> i don't think we actually got the full votes. i don't think we did. >> who knows. >> as they fall into chaos and the president has everything in the confidence and control moving towards 2020 you can see what's happening in the polls. all the media does is sell chaos. and that's the problem and that's what they're not being honest about and that's what hurts sometimes. the president now, we have so much social channels and ability to talk to the people, even obama at the ep of his presidency, the size of his list was the biggest list of direct contacts 18 million people. the president's list by election day should be over 50 million. that is the largest direct contact list probably in political history we've known of and one of the largest in the country other than maybe a couple commercial companies. that allows us to go around them. he has almost 200 million contacts across the country also on social media. what he does and continue to do is talk directly to the people and be the most transparent president in u.s. history. >> you know, i'm going to quote ronald reagan. he famously said during debate because our time is up and he said -- since we paid for these microphones we'll go to one question. >> thank you. >> it has its privileges. >> they all paid for the microphones. the one thing i think is great, the other thing that i can see with my wife's involvement and such is the spirit of the campaign, it's a very different campaign, not like all the other presidential campaigns that maybe some of us have been involved with and it matches the time and candidate, but they all think like the hate tweeting, when you did your video on the hate tweeting, n -- nastiness a all you trolls and folks who think you're bringing these guys down, behind your backs in the corners of the campaign they pick the worst tweets and i've never seen people laugh more and have the best attitude because it does feel good to be -- >> we record them and show them to the campaigns. >> we record a whole video of mean tweets an read about us. it's kind of funny and we think it's hilarious. bring them on, trolls. that's fine. >> your wife is a big part of our campaign, obviously. >> right there. >> she's amazing. mercedes. for the others in my campaign here, they're doing such a great job. we have a great family atmosphere over there and we have a campaign that people are proud to work in. almost 60% of women work in the campaign as well. >> three of us had babies within three months of one another just so you know. >> i'm proud of our team and we're almost 200 already over there. that's twice, three times the size of what we had in 2016. they're working hard for this whole country and working for the president. the president came over last week and visit with them. he was blown away by them ap they were so excited and really have something that we all can be proud of and all of you will volunteer and participate. you're part of the family. i thank each and every one of you for what you're going to do. sweat knocking doors and making calls to anonymous people, but it's all of you that stand up and make a difference. it's not me and my computer. can't do that anymore. they're going to stop that. it's going to be all of you standing up, getting out there and doing something and fighting. if you do that every single one of you and get ten people to do that you would be a mazed what you can accomplish. that's what's going to keep this movement alive and the president have four more years. >> i think you all agree with me, cpac feels very honored that you would be here today. we hope to come back. >> this is my first time. >> my first time too. nice. we didn't even know. >> so time number two, is going to be coming back to cpac to celebrate a fantastic win. >> yes, to celebrate four more years, right. >> thank you, everyone. >> thank you, guys. >> eight more years. that's right. >> thank you. >> thanks, guys. >> ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm cpac welcome to rick harrison. >> hello, everybody. quite a crowd. anyway, here's my ten minutes. i'm going to give a few -- i don't have a whole lot of time with you guys because everyone is talking too much. yeah. it's politicians. okay. i'm going to talk for a few minutes and have a few questions at the end. so i am living the american dream. i truly am. okay. you guys that don't know much about me, i was a sick kid, own finished the ninth grade. because anybody in this country, if you bust butt you can do well. [ applause ] okay. one of my favorite quotes from benjamin franklin is, you have the right to pursue happiness. it's up to you to catch it. the left really thinks it should just be delivered to you. i said this last time i was here. we really have -- there was a chance that the left can win. there really is. if we do not go out there and vote, tell everybody, you know, drag your friends there, have really good arguments to people who believe in the insanity of bernie sanders that he can win and change their minds there's always a chance. because they're hypocrites and they're insane. i mean you have anderson cooper making $12 million a year. george stephanopoulos making $15 million a year. but the ceo of exxon is a jerk because he makes $15 million and he employs 71,000 people. so when you talk to these young people you have to teach them, okay, the reason why ceos make big money is because they are, you know -- lebron of business. they have a skill set that other people do not have. and that's why they get paid that money. put like i said, it's just the hypocrisy that drives me crazy. we really have to go out there, because it is very difficult to explain to a young person because they do not teach anything about economics or capitalism or anything that made this country great in high school and in college anymore. they come out of college, they come out of high school, all they know is, is that a corporation is evil and capitalism is evil and i should get free medical care, free school, everything for the rest of my life. and when you tell them no, you can't get that, you just sound like a crew mujen. it's a longer conversation why you can't have that stuff. that's what we really need to start teaching the young people in this country. we need to change the education system. we've got to -- we have to stop -- we literally have the teachers union teaching our children. it's not the teachers anymore. it's the teachers unions. we need school choice. there is so many simple solutions that, you know, are conservative ideas that like the left just crushes. like, you know, like we take 18-year-old kids in this country, we have way too many kids in jail, so when an 18-year-old kid does something stupid why are we giving him a criminal record and -- that is going to hold him back his entire life. he's going to be in the negative column as far as taxes his entire life and cost society money. why don't we put him in the military and, you know -- the same thing happened to my father. my father, you know, judge said do you want to join the military, and my dad ended up paying eight figures in taxes in his life. our current system screws the kids. a million things like that. less government, less government, less government. that's all we need. you know, i mean employ like 150 people an enjoy doing it. bernie sanders really wants to crush everything we have. we just need to be massively diligent. i'm here. we really -- you have to vote, you have to beg other people to vote, you have to drag them to the polls and every young person out there you have to explain to them why this left stuff will not work. because there is always a chance it could happen. in 1900, william jennings bryant was almost elected. it was a very, very close race and he was really close to bernie with crazy ideas. i mean i don't have a lot of time up here because like i said there was a lot of politicians an we know how much they speak. so we're going to -- i'm going to take questions from the audience and like i said because they only give me ten minutes. who has a question. >> everyone wants me to run for governor of nevada but like -- no decisions yet. >> first of all, thank you very much for being here. i was wondering what specific policy and law changes have affected your personal business and if you could point to some specific things to get -- we have these conversations about policy -- >> policy -- when obamacare came out it was insanity. . i'm talking to a u.s. senator and explaining i had to hire a guy to make sure i was in compliance and then -- this is a u.s. senator, just fire him because you're not. i'm going like, what do you mean? he goes they change the rules every day. in the morning you might be in compliance and in the end you won't. that's the insanity of the government. less government, less -- less rules and regulations, the more businesses will open. bernie sanders wants to tax me at 90%. why would i want to open up a business if i'm not going to make no money? okay. like i was saying earlier, this is -- these things need to be explaineds to these young kids because it does sound exciting and great that everyone is going to like have puppies and everything else like that. i mean but it doesn't work that way. you know, but like government regulation, all it does is hold businesses back. the more regulations you have, the tougher it is to open up a business and be successful and less employees in the end. >> i want to thank you for what you do if showing conservativism in your show about how you show a small business and making the buyer and seller which is so central to what an economy is. and you're doing such a great thing in the media. how do we multiple that, your message being subtle but not explicitly conservative but getting it through withere. >> talk to young people. talk to them like your uncle. the people love my show and i'm on for 16 seasons is because, you know, people love to learn. they just don't like to be talked down to. okay. you can -- you have to relate it to common day life. don't sit there like -- you can't talk to a young person and say he's stupid, he's stupid, he's stooupds. they're going to think you're old. give them facts. young people can appear dense but -- they just think different than we do. >> last question. >> hi. i'm jordan mercer. i go to the college of charleston. unfortunately our campus as well as other campuses are infiltrated with many socialists an i find it very hard to tell them fact and have them understand that. so what in your opinion is the best way to promote capitalism and anti-socialism on college campuses? >> here we go. you have a rich guy. he goes out and buys himself a brand new airplane, a jet. employs everybody at the jet factory, employs everybody down the street at the cafe where everyone at the jet factory works. and then he brings the jet home and he has to employ a pilot and maybe someone else and then he has a whole staff to maintain it and the local airport gets rent for his hangar and everything else, so now you have like 50 or 60 people working, but the left wants to take that all away because it's a bad guy that bought a jet and all those people are out of a job. you know, it's not a bad thing having a lot of money. because like all your leftist friends would love to have money. they just don't want anyone else to have it. okay. so thanks, everybody. yes, my buddy dan is running for congress. support him. he's back stage and he's going to make me say that. thanks for listening to me, guys. have an amazing day. have a good one. >> ladies and gentlemen, next we will have a panel featuring a conversation with secretary elaine chao and eugene skalia moderated by dan snyder. >> i think you sit here and i sit here. >> i am not a smart political operative. smart political operatives would to the share his real views about a cabinet secretary. but there were many cabinet secretaries in the bush administration and i am seated next to the very best one. elaine chao. >> thank you. i've got evidence of it. i actually worked for secretary chao at the labor department and on my very first day she gave me the single best mission statement the cabinet secretary has ever given. dan, i want you to scour the country, find the most effective conservatives who can fight and win. you've got six months to recruit them and bring them to the department. her first assignment to me was to get gene scalia confirmed as the solicitor at the labor department. >> or at least appointed. >> he at that time was considered the finest labor lawyer in the land. today, he is the secretary of labor. so to my right it is my distinct privilege to have an -- two extraordinary secretaries, secretary of transportation and secretary of labor. thank you for joining us. >> great to be here. >> nice to see you all. >> even though gene scalia has only been confirmed for about five months, he has not let moss grow understand his feet. he has already done some very aggressive work in finalizing an important regulation on the joint employer rule. these sorts of regulations that are pulling back on regulations and allowing the economy to grow are what these two cabinet secretaries are really focusing on. i would like to turn to secretary chao first. you're a real leader on innovation. commercial space, there's drones, things like this. but how do you reduce burdensome regulations at the same time that you're promulgating rules for the future? >> well, i'm really proud of the fact that the department of transportation is, number one, in terms of our deglaeger to activities, so we have actually -- we have actually implemented 63 deregulatory agenda items and upon, of course, a mandate of congress, instituted six new ones that are regulatory. >> that's amazing. >> it's a 63 to 6 ratio. the president as you well know in february 2017 said that for every one new regulation, two have to be withdrawn. so we're very, very proud of the fact that we're really ahead of that ratio. and i think what's really needed is, you know, is a commonsense approach. i want to give steve bradbury who is a general counsel at the department some credit as well because he took that deregulatory -- that regulatory reform agenda and made night a rule on rules at the department of transportation. what that means is, really codifying how we do regulations and deregulations, and this also means that guidance documents should not be a form of, you know, regulation that is cited in court and that would be the basis for [ inaudible ]. gene did a lot of that also when he was at the department of labor. i think we need to talk to gene about what he did over there. >> the two departments have a shared goal of safety. >> absolutely. >> so how are you measuring safety? how are you getting these safety outcomes in the most economical way possible? >> we're actually performing. some departments they go out and they have quotas on how many inspections, how many reviews, how many audits. we are performance based. we're fact based. so we focus on the bad actors and a lot of the bad actors are responsible for the majority of the infractions. we're focus and see what our actions will actually yield in terms of overall performance in deterring the kind of behaviors we want to discourage. >> yeah. that's important to us. look, we're focused on the welfare of the american worker. that is the heart of the mission of the labor department and the single most important thing the federal government can do for american workers is support and sustain a vibrant economy and that's what this president has done and that's why we're experiencing what the president and his state of the union address called the blue collar boom. we've got a vibrant job market with unemployment basically at 50-year low and unemployment for some populations, african-americans, hispanic-americans hit the lowest levels ever recorded at the end of last year. deregulation -- you know, deregulation has been central to that. dan, as you said, i've beenen t -- on the job five months. i was in the private sector for many years before that. i've been very focussed. i've been a student of regulatory policy for decades now. going back to the reagan administration. i will tell you that the deregulatory program of this president is the most ambitious, the most effective change in regulatory policy since we started doing cost-benefit analysis of rules all the way back in the reagan administration. the change is that great. you see the fruits of that in how the economy is doing right now. >> absolutely. >> how many people out there own a small business, run a small business, operate a small business? many of you. these are the drivers of our economy. >> they create jobs. >> they create jobs. just to go back a little story telling, one of the first things secretary chao did with her excellent solicitor, was -- and correct me where i'm wrong about this, madam secretary -- she published the enforcement manual because she knew that employers are not bad people, they want to comply with the law, they want to comply with regulations, instead of having a got you game, how does that, for both of you, how does that work at transportation and at labor to make sure that we are helping employers, helping contractors, construction workers, to get things done in an effective and safe manner? >> yeah. i mean one of the things i've been emphasizing what's known as the constitutional prince. of fair notice -- principle of fair notice which the supreme court has paid a lot of attention to recently as well the public has a right to know what the law is so it can conform its conduct and behave appropriately. >> imagine that. >> and what that means is that we don't announce the law for the first time in a lawsuit with a creative new interpretation of the law. instead, we let people know what the law is. the law is a statute, it's in a regulation, not in a guidance document. and once the public knows the law, we have important enforcement responsibilities, but that principle of fair notice is something we've been paying a lot of attention to and, of course, that's part of what your rule on rules and about guidance is trying to achieve too. >> it shouldn't be a got you game. people need to know what the laws are, need to comply, but to comply they need to know what their obligations are. i think that's what is important conveying. >> secretary scalia, if -- i hope this isn't just bias here, but i think you are the greatest labor lawyer in the country. we're very pleased and honored to have you today and as the american public -- having you serve as the secretary of labor, secretary chao has a harvard mba -- >> i hope you don't hold it against me. >> we've talked about innovation. and the department of transportation, of course -- >> we're doing lots of really exciting things. we're the regulators basically of autonomous vehicles, of drones, of commercial space. our number one priority is safety. a very simple way of making everybody safe is to tell everybody you can't move. you can't take your car out of the garage, you know, you can't go from a to b, then you'll be safe. we'll all be safe. but the real challenge is, as regulators, how do we address -- how do we engage with emerging new technologies to address legitimate public concerns about safety, security and privacy without hampering innovation. because innovation is a trademark of who we are as americans. that is our greatest export. we are predominant in the world. >> i think the obama administration was pushing in this direction. are you doing what the obama administration is doing? >> oh, my gosh. i thought you were my friend. this is very important. we're not top down. we are not command and control. we believe in the wisdom the american people. we're going to let them decide what cars they want, what kind of innovation they're willing to accept and for a lot of new innovation, the primary factor in determining how fast autonomous vehicles are adopted or slowly will be consumer acceptance. the issue about electric vehicles, we're not going to command that consumers have to address them. we think the free market works, the private sector works and we need to let the consumer decide. >> this is an exciting time in transportation with electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, what about the guy that drives a 1969 ngz or dotson 280 z. these are the cars like to drive. >> i think we have to accommodate a transition period. there will be people who will want to hold on to their cars. that is why the technology about vehicle to vehicle communications, vehicle to infrastructure, the internet of all things will be very important. a that brings us to another topic. this whole wi-fi spectrum issue will be important. >> it's critical. >> it's critical. by the way, we have brought 400 copies of av 4.0 autonomous vehicles 4.0. the previous administration in 2016 issued a guidance document for autonomous innovation. it was a road map for trial attorneys. we believe in the triumph of of the human spirit, a path way to safety, av 3.0 and because technology is changing so quickly, we have new guidance that har more nizs the 38 different federal agencies that regulate autonomous vehicles, drones, and these other new technologies. it's called av 4.0, maintaining american leadership. in autonomous vehicles. it should be out here some place. if you see it please do pick it up. hope you enjoy it. you have to ask secretary scalia. >> these innovations are helping to drive the economy. secretary scalia, how is the economy doing? >> i mean, it really is historic. as i said we have 3.6 unemployment. that's a number most of us thought we would never hear. about a 50-year low. and, you know, when you look at particular populations, you see last year, for example, we had the lowest unemployment for adult women in about 70 years. just, you know, extraordinary unemployment numbers, but wages are rising too. as the president emphasized in the state of the union, they're rising more quickly for lower wage workers. look at the lowest 10% by income, compare to the top 10%, lower 10% are doing better. the lower income americans have seen 15% wage growth since the start of this administration. all right. so that's why the president spoke about a blue collar boom. just to throw a couple more statistics at you that i find especially meaningful, the congressional budget office in the summer of 2016 made a projection, this is meant to be bipartisan office within congress, does economic forecasting and in the summer of 2016 it said, hey, by early 2020, you know, now, they said we would have 4.9% unemployment. 4.9. they said because summer 2016 and now, they said, we'll have created 1.9 million jobs. that was their forecast. well like i said, we're not at 4.9% unemployment. we're at 3.6%. and we haven't created 1.9 million jobs. we created 2.1 million jobs last year. we've created 6.6 million jobs since the president came in. and so you say, what changed? what's different? summer 2016 and now, what changed? we got a new president. and we got new policies, new priorities, tax cuts, deregulations and trade deals which will be so important going forward too. i think a lot of great things have happened in the last three years but you take the u.s. mexico canada agreement, which was meant for american workers to keep jobs here, to promote higher paying jobs in this country, look at changes like that and i think the prospects look strong going forward as well. >> when secretary chao sat me down in her office years ago and said dan, scour the country, find the most effective conservatives and get them here, she then said, because personnel is policy and we have to drive policy through the selection of the best people possible. i got to tell you, president trump has picked the two finest people to be running these two departments. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> the american people thank you. thank you all. >> thank you. >> the left can't destroy the electoral college without amending the constitution, right? not so fast. there's a campaign going on right now to highjack the electoral college and rig presidential elects in their favor. it's called national popular vote or npv. the american founders rejected a national popular vote and created the electoral college where states represent their citizens in presidential elections. npv wants states to giveaway their votes based on the nationwide popular vote. the left's way to make sure candidates like al gore and hillary clinton never lose again. npv is nearly 75% of the way to hijacking the electoral group. one group is fighting back. save our states was created in 2009 to defend the electoral college, but we need your help. after the election of president donald trump, the left is deadset on destroying the electoral college. stand up for the president and our constitution by texting defend to 3337 -- 33777. liberty and learning, in a healthy democracy each supports the other. in america today, that bond is broken. to help prepare the breach, hillsdale college has launched the graduate school of government in the nation's capital. hillsdale college has been pursuing truth and defending liberty since 1844. hillsdale's graduate school of government now open for learning in washington, d.c. >> we are being censored. news outlets no longer provide the truth. 90% of news outlets in the united states are controlled by six corporations. they're not out to tell you the truth of what's happening. they're out to tell you the picture of the world that they represent. the mission of the epic times is to chase the truth, ground all statements in facts and prevent people from beings misled. the epic times is independent. we're not controlled by any special interests and we never will be. the epic times is a non-partisan media that means we don't stand for any political party. this is a battle, a battle between truth and deceit, a battle between forces that would ensnare this country in ignorance and between a media that wants to present you with the truth. >> get a free trial of our digital subscription. go to readapoc.com/cpac. >> we would love to have you on board. >> ladies and gentlemen, what's the right path forward on big tech? that question will be answered on our next panel featuring donald trump, jr., leader kevin mccarthy and senator josh howly, moderated by amber athy. . good crowd for a morning. >> everyone is really excited for something. what is it? >> i don't know. >> it's you. >> it must be. i don't know. thank you for being here. i'm amber athey for usa. we're running a discount, use the code cpac for 10% off your subscription. shameless plug. >> good plug. >> take it. >> so thrilled to be joined on stage by don junior, leader mccarthy, senator hawley. i think actually every single person on this stage has had direct experience with being censored by big tech, social media companies, shadow banning, your accounts being pulled. don, can you please talk a little bit about just how wide spread this issue is? i hear on the left all the time, this isn't real, conservatives aren't being censored. >> it's not real if you're a leftist. it doesn't happen to them. if you're pro life, pro religious liberty and you say those things i've seen it. i was on this issue three years ago. i had one week on instagram where i had over 100 million impressions and i look at my new follower account an it was zero. it's not possible. i've seen it happen where, you know, i've had the gal to challenge incredibly viable news story coverage like the jussie smollett incident where i go, i don't know, guys, has anyone asked the question he's spreading hate speech, cut off the post. i've seen it. what's great and what these guys have done well, josh in the senate and kevin in the house, brought the issue forward for conservatives. many conservatives have not even realized that with our base across the country, this is probably a top three issue, but we were so trapped in sort of the well, it's free market. it's not free market. it's not free market because they're getting so many benefits and protection from liability from the federal government that they cannot discriminate the way they have so flagrantly against conservatives and anyone on our side. >> senator hawley, why don't you weigh in there. you get flack for a lot of the legislation that you introduce on big tech. >> i think a lot of people particularly in the old establishment, they don't realize that first of all, big tech controls so much of the information. i would be interested in the crowd, how many of you have had your posts taken down and censored. it's unbelievable. we've got to get to place where we say listen, we want to be treat treated fairly. conservatives shouldn't be shut out of the marketplace of ideas, shouldn't be shut down, live action should not be taken off of facebook, censored on twitter, pro-life voices. we have to make sure we get the fair treatment everybody else does. my proposal is simple, i think it's as simple as this. if facebook and twitter and google, if they are not going to give conservatives the same treatment as liberals, if they're going to discriminate on the basis of a political speech, they shouldn't be getting special deals from government. they should not be getting special deals from the federal government. >> and to your point, is it really a marketplace of ideas at this point? leader mccarthy, we see a huge monopoly among these big tech companies to the point where they are literally controlling what people see and hear every single day. the left claims that they want to break up monopolies but it seems their proposals give more powers to the tech companies. >> make them utilities. 90% of every search goes through google. you know what they did with wikipedia two weeks before the election. if you looked up the republican party it said our ideology is naziism. this is where don has been wonderful and we brought in when we were in the majority as lot of ceos, i brought in jack from twitter who said there was no shadow banning. you know what he said the day before the committee, that was a mistake, we did shadow band. did you see what was leaked by twitter what they're going to do next, utilized one of my tweets for it, allow liberal activists to determine whether yours is harmful or not. it's like trying to social score it. they took an article i put up from the federalist, they allowed these liberal activists to say they were harmful and wrong, we called out the whistleblower, and they're letting these socialist ideas be able to control what we're doing and that's what's wrong. if they control so much of the market and any say it's an al gor rhythm, a human writes the algorithm. how many of us remembers what happens the day after the election, the google meeting where they're trying, tried so hard to defeat the president and it didn't work. think about if they will do this to our speech, what are they doing about our privacy. that's more important. >> yeah privacy is huge. please. >> just on kevin's point about google, let's remember the left's coziness with the big tech companies. google basically ran the obama administration. facebook gave the obama administration special deals, gave the obama campaign special access. when the left goes out and says oh, we don't like big tech. really? you benefited from big tech and gotten rich off of big tech and special treatment from big tech and now we don't have a real marketplace because these big tech companies, who are all liberals putting the thumb on the scale against donald trump, all of these companies get special deals from government, and that means that there isn't real free competition. that's the problem. >> it's also beyond social media. so many people talk about that because they're interacting with it so much every day. you see it with google and gmail. do a favor, subscribe to the e-mail list of some of the crazy leftists right now, subscribe to the trump and some of the conservative side and check your junk mailbox. see which side is going where. you know, the inboxing where they're saying, okay, it's coming from trump, going to your junk mail, you're going to filter and not see it. they're doing it there. the problem is the bias and the censorship is going so much further than just the social media platforms. it's going into your every day life. this is what they're going to keep doing. you see it getting worse and worse. i've been saying this, it's a dry run for 2020. how much of that message can we eliminate. how much damage can we do to their ability to fund raise, to give the other side an advantage. we're not asking for favoritism. trust me, i'll take these guys on one on one on any of these issues and we will win. but we're not getting that. and the reality is, with a mainstream media complex of multibillion-dollar enterprise that is the marketing wing of the far left, it is not an easy hurdle to overcome even if the facts are entirely on our side. >> and i'm glad you brought up the media. we now have so-called journalists who are calling for censorship on social media platforms. it is absolutely wild. i've never seen anything like it where people will claim that political ad is misinformation because it has a meechl oig in it. >> i had said we need free speech and watch how the liberals are going after him. why? because donald trump was able to use facebook better than the democrats and he got the message to all of us for us to collectively go. so when someone does something right, stand up for them. but when you think of your privacy, we should think of this like private rot. in f. they are going to make money off of what they know about us, we should get a piece of that, we should be a to daet look and move to a different platform if we want to our knowledge about us is ours. and that is what we need to protect because they are utilizing this to change an outcome of an election and censor us based upon what we say if they disagree and they use the liberal media as their standpoint to say what we're doing is wrong. what if we allowed cnn to tell us on tv what is right and what is wrong? when 95% of everything they say goes against the conservative. >> it is a banana -- >> to your point, i do like to give credit where credit is due. but let's say they have 100,000 employees that don't agree with that. so the problem is this, it is not just the leader at the top, the inmates are actually running the asylum. there is -- no, that is what is going on. he is not looking at algorithms, he is not typing code at this point. he is running the ship. so even if he agrees, if those 25,000 people below him in charge disagree, guess what, they will do what they want. and one little character in tlrk o there, one little subtle manipulation can mean so much so that has to be guideness from the top to make sure that isn't happening. >> and this reminds me, so mark zuckerberg has been on the hill and he came to see me, and he said to me, we were talking about live action, pro-life group, who facebook had prevented from distributing their videos. and i said you discriminated against live action. you treated them wrongly. he admitted to me, he said you know what, there was bias in that case. and then he said i know this might be hard to believe, but we do have a bias problem at facebook. i said hard for whom to believe? hard for you to believe? >> not so hard for me. >> all of us know that. and here is the thing, liberals want to get big tech when we are in power, when donald trump is in the white house, they want to bully big tech into censoring us when they are in power, they know that big tech will on their own suppress our voices. so it is all about for the left, it is all about this partnership, a big government, big tech partnership run by the liberals. that is what they want. and that is why we have to open this thing up, we have to get more competition in there, more companies in there, we have to get more options in there and we have to protect our speech. >> and i want to follow up on that because people talk about jumping into the market place, social media companies. but obviously it is very difficult with how much power places like facebook, google, twitter have right now. how are we supposed to open up a space to companies like, john being gab or some of the other smaller startup companies to actually have a chance at having people likes ones in this room jump to their platforms? >> you have to send the special fafshs that b favors. big tech has gotten strong because of the special deal from the federal government. let's not pretend that this is free market competition. big tech aligns with big governments. so we should say your data is your. it is what kevin just said. your personal information is your. you ought to be able to take it anywhere. to don's point about email, you should be able to take all your email to another service without losing and being penalized. big tech doesn't want that, they want to control your property. we need to give consumers individuals control over their own data and allow you to take it and do with it what you want. >> exactly. >> i want to hit on a point that was brought up earlier, which is there are all these mistakes that are made when it comes to sendcensorship censorship. their pr person would say that it was just a human error. how do they get away with that? >> uni >> i don't know. and i took a controversial stance not because it was controversial, only because hollywood got on one side of the argument, jussie smollett, where i go is anyone thought that maybe this fact set is asinine? oh, it was an error, we're sorry. we'd like to talk to you about it. okay, let's talk about it, but let's do it in a public forum. crickets. you know, they were willing to talk to me, they were willing to tell me what i wanted to hear, but they wouldn't do it in a public forum because they knew that there was literally nothing -- and i know nothing about coding. it is not my thing. but i could have whatever conversation i want and they wouldn't be able to give me a real answer because they are actually doing it. and they are okay with that. so they were fine to haves conversation to yes me to death, to make it appear as though they are being hope and ons about what is going on, but there is zero transparency there. no one see what is is actually happening. >> and this is what we're fin g finding. if you are a conservative and you work in one of these he company, you have to maintain quiet. conservatives good the together and created a group because they were fearfulthe together and created a group because they were fearful that they would be thrown out just by their own political views. on so if everyone else in the company has these other views, that is where they go in, put their thumb on the scale, quiet you down. and if you didn't speak up, think about if they are doing to us, who speaks for us? that is why you have to have a level playing field, you have to open this up. and it goes back to our privacy. do you want google to know everywhere you search? do they really put it away? do you think series i iri only to you when you ask her? >> how many times has it chimed in on a conversation when you weren't asking to chime in. >> that is how they make -- anything on the internet that is free, you are not the customer, you are the client because they are utilizing your data and selling it. why if they are going to sell our data, i should have a say in is it. if it is my information, i should have a say. i either get a piece of it -- and have you ever tried to delete yourself from any of these sites? i should be able to today light a delete it and move it. then we would open it up to new competition.light delete it and move it. then we would open it up to new competition. and someone might care about who we are. >> and your point is a really important one. what you said is if they can do it to us, who can't they do to. i did a big example where i literally searched my handle a couple months ago on instagram. i happen to share the name of the president of the united states. and neither of us showed up in the first like 100 people. i put up the video on instagram. immediately then three hours later all of a sudden people are like, no, it is fine now. yeah, it is fine now, but it wasn't when i did it. i sent to my friend saying are you getting the same thing. so if i search my name or my father's name, and i follow these people -- >> didn't it come out that you were dangerous? >> i was a threat to society. but if they are doing to me with a couple million followers, if they where doing to the president of the united states with 15 million followers, what are they doing to your account with 300? how much worse, how much more damage can they do to you and your ability do it? and i've seen that from my friends where they are lirks well, we 235id for paid for ads because we're second amendment or religious, once we became paid, we actually lost numbers. let's stop pre-tetending that t is not happening. >> and you should be able to say i want all of my personal information back from facebook or google or whomever. and by the way, for your kids also. i have two little boys at hope. my wife and i, we think about every day what are these tech companies -- my kids have toys that connect to the internet or they watch something on tv or download a program on a tablet. you don't think google or facebook is keeping track of them? i want the right as a pd to sar say i want my kids' data back. i want to raise my own kids. and my view is simple. if we get discriminated against, if you get suppressed on twitter or facebook, we should be able to sue them. we should be ability to say we somewhere rights hear. we should be able to say why are you doing that? those are rights that we should expect to have. >> let's talk about china. we've seen how the coronavirus has an impact on the medical supply chain, but a lot of people don't know that there is a really cozy relationship between china and these big tech companies. you have google running behind america working on a search engine with communist china. it is unbelievable. >> and they will give them whatever it is that they want. because we'll take the money. and that is the reality. i mean, that is what has gone on. besides all the issues with coronavirus, trump's platform has been right about supply trade, borders and everything that is going on. the fact that wbig tech is more comfortable working with china to allow them to do whatever it is that they want with this data, but in america, they won't give people who want to express their religious freedoms that same platform? it is truly scary. the dichotomy is almost asinine. >> remember when google started, they had the motto, don't do evil or don't be evil? did you realize they took that away a couple years ago? >> kevin, you know, a few billion dollars will do that. you know, evil to a point. once you put a b in front of it, maybe we will loosen our standards a little bit. >> what they where doing with china, do you know in china if you are a citizen of china and you want to buy an airline ticket or train ticket, you could have the money and what they say, let's first look at your social score. even has a social score. it is what you said and what government thinks is right or wrong. that is what they are trying to do on twitter to us now on what we say, whether it is right or wrong and they are legt tr are liberals dye deci s decide it. and google is now working with the chinese government. they think they are a company of the world, not an american he compan company. >> and i think is this this partnership with chu,e company. >> and i think is this this partnership with chu, company. >> and i think is this this partnership with chu,company. >> and i think is this this partnership with chu, china, it speaks to the effect that at heart they have a strong authoritarian speak. they want to control what we say and what we don't say. so china, that is their whole point of view. it is a natural fit. and that is why we have got to stand up and say that is not going to happen in this country. we're not going to be told what we can and cannot say on line. or anywhere for that matter. one thing that the president has done fantastically is call this out and say no, ima not going to play along by the usual pc rule, i'm going to call out discrimination,not going to play along by the usual pc rule, i'm going to call out discrimination, the sdubdouble standards when i see it. >> and this is beyond politics. it is beyond the -- is this a cultural societal issue as well. >> without question. and politics is downstream of culture. and so when you see that sort of aspect of culture, where they are trying to dictate it, again, the manipulation of that culture, because again, the average person on this stage is going to be different than the average person in america consuming 5 or 10 minutes of news a day. we live this stuff. you do it all day for work, these days i do it more than anybody probably because i take it personally, i see what is actually going on. there are so few voices on our side. even if they want to be vocal about it, they can't even get there because of the suppression. >> yeah, they are shut down before they can get the word out. it seems like this is about families and children. the privacy issue especially in terms of how they have your children's data, it is unbelievable. >> and again, this goes back to i take the view that parents should be able to raise their kids, not big tech. maybe that seems strange. i don't know. but as a father of small children, it is so important that we give families control over their own information, that you get to decide what your kids is see, you get to decide who has your kids' information. you get to decide how you speak and who hears it. >> and meanwhile we're being live streamed on twitter if they didn't pull it down yet. >> if you go to gop leader at twitter, i'm going to put a poll up there about the most important things that we're concerned about here. go on there, vote, and we'll let twitter know that we have a concern about what they are doing. >> i like that. >> thank you guys so much. >> time's up. thank you all. >> thank you guys. >> the deep state is a political circumstance or condition in washington, d.c. where the professional political class, those persons who are career employees of the various agencies and dechtsdepartmentine back really a fourth branch of government. there are folks quite happy in those positions.of government. there are folks quite happy in those positions.back really a f government. there are folks quite happy in those positions. that is what you see today with the deep state. there are employee, folks who man the departments and agencies who are here for decades, professional elite that really have their hands on the levers of government and they actually control many of the functions that people think of when they think of government service. they are really not terribly interested in answering you or answering members of congress or members of the media. because they have their own objectives and their object time line and they don't wish to be disturbed or exposed in any way. well, that is where we come in. we uncover information are. we have a constitutional republic. and what our constitution guarantees is that we the peopl. we have a constitutional republic. and what our constitution guarantees is that we the peopl. we have a constitutional republic. and what our constitution guarantees is that we the peopl. we have a constitutional republic. and what our constitution guarantees is that we the peopl. we have a constitutional republic. and what our constitution guarantees is that we the people are sovereign over the government. the people are owed service by their trusted servants. and i think james madison is probably spinning in his grave. he and the other founders would be appalled at the notion of a political professional class operative separate and apart from the will of the people and from the oversight of both the legislative branch and even the courts. the deep state thrives in the dark. the best thing in the world of course is to shine a spotlight or a sunlight on that to illuminate what is really going on because that is the way that you get accountability. judicial watch has investigated and even litigated open records cases concerning the deep state because this unkoconstitutional fourth branch of government really undermines the constitution, the rule of law, it undermines the public's will as expressed in elections, and it is largely unaccountable. those persons who hold elected office or appointed position or civil servants are just that, they are trusted servants. they owe us accountability and answers and that is why judicial watch investigates and litigates corruption. >> ladies and gentlemen, our next speaker understands the toll of physical challenges. on the topic of family first, please welcome from the new england patriots, bren japagent minu b benjamin watson. [ applause ]gentleman benjamin watson. [ applause ] >> thhello, cpac. good morning. this is exciting, right? my first time being here on this stage. it is great to see all of you. an honor really. i know you probably had a long night, so i'm glad that it is full, you know. some of y'all might be tired, but you came out. and i really appreciate it. family first. family first. this is a country about family first. now, my job is to play football. that is my day job. but my real most important job is as a husband to my wife of 14 years. you can clap. and as a father to our seven children. yeah, seven. with seven kids, i have a kid for each day of the week. so i tell them you can't talk at the same time because i can't hear all of you. family a really the first form of government, of health care, of community, of education.is r of government, of health care, of community, of education. we transfer the social capital from within jone generation to , how we teach our children to digest ideas and create new ones. how to teach our children how to deal with conflict and how to be compassionate, kind and loving adults. it is in a family that we teach them about our faith and about service and how to demonstrate straight both of those in their daily actions and interactions. the goal of all of this is to raise well rounded confident and capable adults who will become the leaders of america. the family will always be the nucleus of civilization and building block of society. history tells us this. so collectively, i think that we have a vested interest in protecting, promoting and praising the importance of family. now, all that being said, i will say that the current state of the american family is a perilous one. we have out of wedlock births izing, we have divorce, our families are breaking down. family should always be at the center of domestic policy. we should always make decisions that support families because that is how civilization remain thriving. i think there are many threats to the family, but there are three threats that i want to bring to your attention that we have to address in this day and age. the first one is moral relativism. we are increasingly in a culture where we do what seems right to us and in the name of tolerance no one can tell us any different. this can be seen in many of the evolving social issues that we deal with. and you are mo our mar rorality is increasedlyd with cultural norms. some say we need to return to traditional values. i say yes as long as those are rooted in the soil of truth. i don't necessarily believe in quote/unquote family value rktsz but i do believe in the biblical values that serve on the found dagts on which family values stand. some say family values are outdated or too traditional for a changing world. to that i say truth never changes, only people's opinion of it. i mean, this is evidenced in the akd act of driving down the street. there where these white lines that you must stay between. if you don't stay between them, you may sufsh trns consequences all of us may suffer as well. this is the same way with the biblical values. we have laid out for uts a perfect plan for our lives and when we decide to step out of that, which we all do from time to time, we cannot control the consequences. the second threat i would say to the family is fatherlessness. for a number of reasons in many different communities, more than one in four children are living without a father in their home in this country. and studies -- make no mistake, studies prove these children are at greater risk of drug and alcohol an burks mbuabuse, ment incarceration, the list goes on and on. in spite of your individual circumstances and pressure, men are roles as fathers extend far beyond conception. and to you women, as marvelous and capable as you are, you should not be parenting alone. men, we need to be present in the home, showing our children what it means to love and to lead. we are our daughters' first love. and our son's first hero. frec twrechb the american family will continue to suffer until men acting with humility, integrity, characterize what true manhood really is. our kids are imitate us. for good or for bad. i play football like i said before and i will not name the team where we were going to this stadium, but i was with the patriots, we were going to one of our rival stadiums and as we pulled into the stadium, i looked out the window to see all the fans there on game day, and on the curb i saw a father, looked like he was about my age, wasn't as handsome though. and he was standing there giving us the salute. you know what the salute is. the one with one finger on each hand. but flanked by his sides were two children. ment same age the same age at m about 6 and 8. and t they looked upped a hit like this is what we're suppose dodd about 6 and 8. they looked upped a hit like this is what we're suppose dodd? your kids will imitate you. use that imitation as a force for good. i will say the third threat that i would like to talk about to the family is the issue of abortion. i believe abortion is the most important human rights issue of our day. nearly 1 million lives are lost yearly in this country. human decidi human dignity begins at done exception and extends all the way to the grave.doneexception the way to the grave. what greater threat is there to the family than the leg and celebrated extermination of its most vulnerable members? this issue has become political when it should not be. protecting life and the right to life should be bipartisan in nature. this issue of justice is dividing us in a way nothing in recent history has. and this doesn't have to be the case. abortion impacts families on many levels. mother, father, siblings, extended family are all affected. even now in this room in maryland at the gaylord some of you are quietly suffering. and you feel alienated. by your family, by your peers. by your churches. this doesn't have to be. we all have value whether we have post-an bore difference, whether we ever had it, it doesn't matter, we all have inherent value.difference, whether we ever had it, it doesn't matter, we all have inherent value. sometimes things seem hopeless, but there is restoration for all these threats. with god's help we can properly steward the gift of family that he has so graciously given us. in the year 1885, frederick douglass, formerly en slaved man said the life of a nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful and virtuous.s said the life of a nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful and virtuous. as great as she is, america is not perfect. but her greatness is in her ability to hold honesty, truth, and virtue in high regard and work continuously and tirelessly and together to perfect them. so finally, my encouragement, friends, is simply this, to keep working, to keep working. god bless all of you. thank you. >> we are one people one family, and one glorious nation under god. >> i support our president. he's the best president we ever had. >> i want strong military and he supports that. >> we will make america great again! and one glorious nation unde >> please give a warm cpac welcome to kim bberly gilfoyle. >> let's go cpac! good more than. it is morning at cpac and morning in america. we got some love over there. god, i love that guy. i can't get enough of that junior. got to tell you. the gift that keeps on giving. a yes the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. he has the trump dna. love it. always interesting, always fun. and i tell you, i absolutely love cpac, we've been so looking forward to coming hire because as i look out at this crowd, as i feast my eyesere because as i look out at this crowd, as i feast my eyes, i don't just see thousands of determined activist, you know what i see? four more years of donald trump! y yay! i say that every chance because i just love to trigger the left, flight i learned that from my boyfriend. it is everyone in this room in fact that is making america great right now. and will be keeping america great for generations to come. and this is a fight that we must have right now in this moment in american political history. because it is just not about us in this room, it is about our children, about future generations. and i think a lot about what this fight means to me personally. and to my son ronan who is 13 years of age. and i know how hard we must fight it preserve and protect the american dream and keep it alive for future generations. i'm an example of a living and breathing american dream in this incredible country that we call america. my mother was born in puerto rico and my father in ireland. and he was able to come here to this country legally, lawfully, not cutting the line and become a united states citizen. >> and for the many blessings that he had, he wanted to give back and the best way he knew you how, enlisting in the united states military and serving this could you be in the armyou be i. i want to make sure that i personally fight to protect and preserve that american dream that my parents came here to pursue. that they were able to do. my mother working tirelessly as a special education teacher, working with ghichildren with learning and emotional challenge, one of the finest jobs that anybody can have to educate and care for the young children in america. and i think about what could happen, because tomorrow in south carolina, the dnls wiemoc will be one step closer to nominating a socialist to lead their party. [ boos ] >> and that is not fake news. it is really true. that crew, huh? the squad, the socialists. let 'em run, baby. nothing can stop the trump train, right? of course that is only if the establishment democrats don s st from comrade bernie first, right? like groundhog day all over again. but i have news for them, if the bernie bros want to come over because they are triggered because they got the nomination stolen again, we have room in the trump tent being beal take their votes. come on down! and then there is the other guy, minu mini mike, remember, big spender. he is trying his best to try to buy it and buy the members of congress too. we heard him brag about that. but listen, none of them can stop trump because of the accomplishments that this president has been able to put up on the board and the wins. but i want to ask mike bloomberg this, how many super delegates has he purchased if he goes to a second ballot? has he planned his shopping list carefully enough? you don't need to spend time in the swamp to know that when you have big pocket, everything is for sale. so trump will grain the swamp of mike plume burpg bloomberg as w. how about that? so whether minui mike's nanny state or the bernie sanders big revolution, we don't want it. the open borders to child and sex traffickers, sanctuary states, more crime and deadly drug, stagnant wages and less job opportunitieses, and the destruction of america's health care system, that is the democrats' america bum that is not our america. we have so many young people in this room who are on the front lines of america's culture war. they are the central target of the leftist campaign to spin socialism as cool. and the ideology of central planning that controls how society behaves as woke. now, we all know that is a joke, right? don't be fooled by their identity politic, their ridiculous shame campaigns or their cancel culture. stand strong in your faith, your beliefs, and your ideology and your support of president trump. be the person that i were born to be, which is a born free american patriot. as we come together to express our view points and our i'd control gi, ideology, we are sending a clear message that will be heard across the world. under president trump, america will never be a socialist country! [ crowd chanting usa ] >> i love it. well, let me tell you something. and i've got so many plans for november 3 and so do you, because we are going to run up the score, we are going to take back the house and rip the gavel out of nancy pelosi's hand! [ crowd cheering ] that's right. buy, felicia, right? that is what nancy will get. a little bit of bye-bye. and we're going to run up some wins in the senate, we need more fighters in the united states senate fighting standing along president trump. i'm having such a good time doing this because i feel about the democrats and they are like little way ward children in the playground running around with their pajamas on backwards. shame. shame. all confused. snowflakes melting. actually i got a cure. four mother yere years of presi trump! we have a president who is absolutely incredible, because not only has he delivered the promises that he made, he's kept those promises and in fact he has exceeded those promises. thank you, president trump. unlike the fake news and the mainstream media, we have the facts. 7 million jobs created by president trump. and when he is reelected, millions more. that is life changing for americans across this country and for families. economic emancipation and opportunity. self-determination. you choose. you decide. and more money back in your pockets to determine how you want to spend it. not the democrats in the swamp. 600,000 manufacturing jobs. unemployment has hit an all-time low. 49 is year low thanks to president trump. african-american unemployment as historic lows. hispanic unemployment the lowest that it has ever been. [ speaking foreign language ] asian american unemployment the lowest it has ever been. and my favorite, women's unemployment the lowest that it has been in 65 years? >> do i have women who support trump? fshs and god bless our veterans because veterans unemployment is the lowest rate in nearly 20 years. they fight, they serve for our liberty and our freedom and they come back and under president trump, they are respected. they are cared for. they have health care. and they will have a job. and one of my favorite number, 6 million americans lifted off of food stamps. thank you president trump. those are americans living with dignity. they want to feed their children and sit at a dinner table and feel proud that they are earning a paycheck and that they are part of this trump economy, that they are showing that lesson to their children to be passed on to future generations. that is power. that is not the liberal democrats dependence, victim culture that they tell you that you are not good enough, smart enough or able to make a living on your own. president trump says, yes, you can and yes you will. and new regulations saving american taxpayers $33 billion! how can you not be excited by that record? i'm excited. america is back, baby! as 2020 approaches and that beautiful day of november 3 is going to come roaring in, saving the american dream, be tireless. be engaged. and work with us to spread president trump's winning america first message. it is all of you who will be making the difference and delivering president trump four more years! and i want to end by saying something about president trump and his incredible family. the president is is my friend for 15 years. i know the man, i know the measure of his work ethic, in-stick getiin in-telling gritdity and his love for this country. this family as put themselves on the front line and taken incredible abuse. with sham investigation, mueller investigation, impeachment sham articles, fisa abuse, spying on private citizens. but they say it is worth it because each and every one of you is worth it. america is worth it. and that is why i ask you to fight and to stand and to be on the front lines with this incredible family. and i have the honor and privilege to fight alongside one of the best of them, donald trump jr. as we travel to each state in this incredible country. earning the votes and spreadings message. talking about what the president has accomplished. nobody works harder or fights harder for his father. he gets out there and gets after it and i love the way he triggers them all. right in fun to watch. they chose to get in this fight and this family fights harder than any i have ever seen and god bless them. they no that he thknow that the difference. so with that, god bless the president of the united states donald trump and his family. god bless all of you. god bless cpac, our veteran, law enforcement and first responders and the brave women and men who fight in our military to protect us every day. and god bless the united states of america. the best is yet to come. liberty ecosystem, mission for liberty ecosystem. objective one. supporting noble peace prize nominee through will i belibert donations. >> there is corruption and almost say no more freedom, so we have to fight right now. >> donations in the u.s. will commence through liberty metro. :00 wave okay wave a leading block chain to allow users to record votes securely. it has been developed by okay wave and a okay block chain center. and our polling system liberty ec vote allows users to record their ballots electronically without involving third parties. but acu is using liberty vote for its year wound polling program. stop by our demonstration to try it out. the civil society, the ideals which we strive to conserve, created by the four cities that built on athens but all got their start in jerusalem. the exceptional city, the city up on the hill that would shine its light and messenger of god into the world. the city that was and remains the capital of you dejudea. it would teach all that property rights are to be honored and protected. that life, all life, is sacred. even those of the unborn. that one has the right to defend themselves, their family, their run, and their religion. that what you hear at this conference began in yin judea ae always live one nation under god. and so they have decided to come to cpac and spread the message of god's city. we invite you to come down to the cpac must be and visit their booth a booth and learn more about the civil society. . >> in venezuela i grew up in a middle income family. it was a prosperous country. but they started getting really bad. i went back and forth every year, i was starting to see how it was all going down, three years ago, i went back and i was crying like every night? >> right now it is a failed state. chavez offered hope, health, education, central bank. everything was managed by his own people. from there, started the collapse of the country in every way possible. the health care system is not a system. education has taken over for the government. if you where into tu wyou are n government, if you don't support them, you will be out of the system. >> ladies and gentlemen, opening up the sear is on socialism and the great awakening, please welcome the host, cpac communications director, ian walters. >> how is everybody doing? are you having a good time at cpac? one thing that i will ask you to do, take out your cellphone and do the following. text 56479, text cpac to 56479. live that cpac 365 lifestyle with us. we have our events for 2020 posted on the column outside. come be a part of us in this important year. america versus socialism is our theme this year. and we'll present some programming here in a very interesting way. but i think that it will give you some things to take home with you once you go back to your communities and did our very best to make a difference for america. the first person i want to bring out is my friend jarrett step account man frstepman from the daily signal, author on the war on history, the conspiracy to rewrite america's past. and also a contributor to the daily signal and co-host of the right side of history podcast. listen to it. and jarrett, you are an expert in history. and that is why we wanted to start this off this way. the left we think is trying to rewrite history. let me ask you, what is the damage that can be done when history is reinvented for contemporary political purposes? >> i think that you hit the nail on the head, it is being written for the effort to rewrite america's history, to change the narrative about what we are. and i think that it is really directed at the institutions, the values that created this country, an attack on 1776. it is what the founders started in this country and that we continue in this country. i think that there is an effort, many much you heaof you heard ot that creates the narrative of victimhood, that its values are ultimately bad, they are against you. and i think that is a deeply for the sole purposes of changing what america is, changing us to become ideas like socialism, ideas that have very much against the original american conce concept. >> and the 1619 project was created to say that america was not founded in 1776, but instead in 1619 when the first slave ships came over to america. do you think that the birth defect of our founding, and by that i mean slavery, is such -- should be focused on that all of the good things that america has done in 250 plus years should be ignored? >> absolutely not. they try to look at the things that make america very much unexceptional. the idea that there are thing liabilities slavery s like slavery, they are commonalty through history. but we had the principles of 1776, all men are created equal, that allowed that to be gotten rid of. >> feel free to clap. >> and i think what they are saying especially to young black and brown americans, their country is not for them. i mean, deep down that is what they are saying. if your country is at the founders were hypocrites, they can didn't believe in those idea respe, but frederick douglass wasn't a black hero, they were american heros. the 1619 project was against that. >> and if we allow the other side, the progressive left, to brainwash the next generation of americans to the point that we don't look upon those special ideas that we cherish found in the constitution, the constitution isintk on paper, it is the ideas that makes america special, what does our future look like?k on paper, it is the ideas that makes america special, what does our future look like? >> a big part of the 1619 project is to attack the capitalism. to link to slavery. a lot of people say for the 1619 project, well, they rely on the new history of capitalism school of thought, that kind of attacks capitalism and links to slavery. in the 1850s there was a radical who said that -- and he said that slavery is a form in the very best form of socialism. that was george fitzsu in the 1850s. that is a deeply pernicious idea and i think that lot of these people think that they really do believe that especially at the end of the cold war, that frankly the wrong side won. that it was the united states and our system that belonged in the ash heap of history. and they are trying to revive these ideas that have destroyed nations. a lot of young americans don't know the history of socialism, the history of these tyrannical systems that have left impoverished and without hope for the further. no, we were not a perfect country to begin with. but what we strive to is to be a more perfect union what abraham lincoln said. that is what makes america great. >> it seems like politics has infected all sorts of our lives that this struggle between left and right is aen an emerging battle field. a lot of people think that we've lost hollywood. we're doing a panel later todaye field. a lot of people think that we've lost hollywood. we're doing a panel later today field. a lot of people think that we've lost hollywood. we're doing a panel later today on sports and how it has become politicized. is the education system lost? i was going to ask you to envision a future of what happens when the textbooks begin too rewrite history but i think it is already beginning. >> it is a huge problem. and this is not something that started today, not something that even started with the 1619 project. the 1619 project is partnering with the pulitzer center to get their curriculum in classrooms across the country. this is something that we talk about why common core was such a bad thing. i mean, this is common core material, this really negative anti-american set of ideas. and that is why when we look dedication system that is not prepared especially young americans to understand the e l evils of the system of social m socialism, it is no one wonder that there are so many who don't know that it is a bad thing, they hear this idea of socialism and this rhetoric that you hear and even people now that defend people like fidel castro or communist china. that is an incredible thing. and we have let down a lot of young americans. that is why this needs to change. and it happens in classrooms around the country. very small things. and that is why -- this is the battleground for the future of america. it is really about education, about culture. >> are you at all shocked that in a few months that later this year that america could tumble and become a socialist america given that over the arc of history, that -- you know, i thought it was over when the berlin wall came down and we had won that fight. a struggle against communism. the war in korea, obviously a great deal of tension in that part of the world still today, you think that that generational fight for our kids are still going to be going on? we just have a place to plant it in our lives and will pass the banner? or do you think we have a chance to actually push back hard enough to make socialism such a repulsive option for future generations? >> i want to relitigate this on the grandest stage. we talk about the cold war, the differences in ideology, how one can see in the 1980s when ronald reasoning was calling the soviet union -- bernie sanders praises elements of their system. that shows you the differences between the united states and those communist systems. you really have to pore through the muck to find anything nice to say about the soviet union, and yet they try to highlight the things that make us bad. frankly, the differences between those systems couldn't be more stark. and i think that americans are going to get a reeducation in what the differences was between those systems in the cold war. and that matters for us today. it matters for the next generations. yes, we are just one generation away from tyranny. we're going to have this debate on the grandest stage. i think the differences between a socialist system and a capitalist free system couldn't be more stark. [ applause ] >> i see your wonderful wife over there, inez, who has been so helpful to us, cpac this year, helping us find the right words and how to describe these important ideas we're talking about over the course of four days. you didn't honeymoon in moscow, did you? >> no, can he did not. >> can please a nice cpac round of applause for jerret stepman. thanks, man. you're great. >> appreciate it. >> and let's bring out our next two panelist, from blaze tv john miller and from the walk away campaign, brandon struck. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ >> how are you, fellas? good to see you. >> good to see you. >> i think you got some fans in the house, gentleman. >> yes. john, you wrote a column in october 29? >> 2019, you mean. >> that's right. october 23rd. it said, being conservative is the new black. >> correct. >> what's that mean? >> in the sense that being conservative is no longer allowed anywhere. and, you know, being black people ask me, i was once asked how does it feel to be black? do you like being black? and i said, yes, because that means that you get more privilege than anybody else in 2020 in the world. i mean, and it's so true. if you are black you have the pick of the crop. you can literally, jobs are literally recruiting blacks left and right. and you have a punch of people screaming, i'm owe prosed, i can't get a job, i can't get into the school i want. chances are if you're black and you're not able to get a job, it's because you're not qualified for the job. it's not because of your name. because people, employers are looking to employ minorities. they have programs, scholarships, there's a list of scholarships available excusively to minorities. i don't want to hear about how minorities are oppressed and don't get heard and are unable to express themselves. that's absolute nonsense. that is victim mentality. we need to end it. being conservative is more dangerous. being black is a privilege, to be honest. >> explain for our folks who may not be familiar with the term, what's it mean when we hear people talk about being woke? >> that's a term i believe coined by erica badu in 2008 and means you're aware of how to be socially politically correct and you use the right gender pronouns and are accepting and you use words like ze and zer and it's a way to show people that you are in the know, and it's a way to oppress the people that speak normally. it's a way to slienls people who use and act the way they want. it's blake a way to suppress people who live the way they want. conservatives who have a more traditional world view are being owe prosed by people who want to control their language and ideas. i think the name of this panel is the great awokening. you go back to the spiritual awakening, that was a spiritual revival that gave people a sense of sirt walt, it gave them a sense of personal sin, and the need to be redeemed, and salvation from god. and now it's salvation from the mob. to the sense that if you say that you love this country, if you say that america is the greatest country in the world, if you say that america was not evil and indecent from its inception, you don't have a voice. if you say that you don't want to bust open the borders wide open, you don't have a voice. if you say you don't believe there are 5 million genders, you don't have a voice. they are using it with the same fervor that was used during the actual great real awakening. i think the great awakening sparked the revolution. the great awokening is going to destroy the country. william f. buckley said we have to sit there and say stop. we're past that. we actually have to fight back and reverse all the destruction that these people have done to the country. >> when you hear you talking about fighting back, when i hear you talking about raising your voice, it makes me think of the gentleman to your left, brandon struck, who's -- [ cheers and applause ] >> -- courage he's built from nothing to something powerful over the course of just a few months, a year and a half, how many of you have heard of the walk away campaign? [ cheers and applause ] >> awesome. >> brandon, you know, in 2016, i was outside at a hotel -- or 2015. i said who do you like in this wide open republican field with 15 candidates, and an older lady said i don't want to tell you. why? you don't know me. i'm embarrassed. and she said, i like trump. >> yeah. you have given the courage to a lot of people out here to not whisper, to be able to be more outspoken. [ applause ] >> in their minds and hearts and lives and to tell their story. really, where does that come from and how do you manage to take people who are each individuals? and of course we respect the individual, but you've managed to bring them all together and amplify with a single votes. how did you do that? >> i'll tell you, i don't think it's hyperbolic whatsoever to say that we are at the cross roeds of a possible calamity in this country. this election i think is the most absolute important election certainly of my lifetime, possibly in american history. we have two candidates who exist on two polar opposites of the sprek trum. one is fighting for the traditions of america and have made american great in the free market society. the other is fighting, i'm going to assume it's going to be bernie sanders. can we run with that? we have i think this crossroads where we have these two gentlemen here, and i wanted to make sure that people in this country spoke up and fought back. we have a leader in the office who's fighting back for the american people. [ cheers and applause ] >> we should be taking our cues from people like that. and i say, you know, i believe that everything that's happening in this country right now is not an accident, and i don't think it's a coincidence and i actually believe that it's evidence that god has an incredible sense of humor. [ cheers and applause ] because we have donald trump in the office right now, and i believe that it was not an accident that a gay former liberal decided that he was going to start a movement to bring people away from the democratic party and encourage conservatives to stand up and speak up and use their voice. i've lived in the closet before. i've done it. it's not great. i've hung my head in shame. when i decided i was moving over and was going to become a conservative, i said i don't want anyone else have to be ashamed of what they believe in, no one should have to be in the closet again. [ applause ] >> that's why when i created the walk away campaign i told people make your testimonials, use your voice. everybody walks around with a video camera in their pockets at all times and that connects to twitter, facebook, instagram. there's no longer any excuse for the liberal media defining the narrative of who you are, what it means to be conservative. they can call you a racist, bigot, but it's up to you to use your voice and take the narrative back of what it means to be a trump supporter and a conservative. we are encouraging people -- [ applause ] -- with walk away this year we're pushing this hashtag, #unsilent. the silent majority era is over. from now on, we are the unsilent majority in this country. [ applause ] >> quickly, you've been putting events on around the world. conservatives generally have avoided the notion of identity politics. you've flipped it on its head. you're hosting events with muslim americans, african-americans, with the lgbtq community. what's your approach in a minute on identity politics? >> i think that conservatives in general need to get on the same page with what it is. some people will say, we shouldn't be edge gauging in that. the left is engaging in that, marketing themselves to black americans, hispanics, meanwhile we're not even talking to these groups at all. i'm going into these communities and going into college campuses, we're holding events for these various minority groups and saying, look, we understand how you believe, how you've been dereceived, but we're telling you there's a better way. step out of that group think, out of the identity politics, and embrace your individual identity as an american. there is a seat at the table -- [ applause ] there is a seat at the table for all americans despite your race, gender or sexual orientation. i want to tell everybody really quickly. may 1st in nashville, tennessee, the women's walk away. this is for women who don't feel well respected. come there. we have diamond and silk, it's going to be incredible. and the unsilent majority march on washington on october 3rd in washington, d.c., i want to see everybody there. we're going to become hashtag unsilent. >> before i let you guys go and we move on, it used to be inappropriate in my mind and a conversation killer, when you say, that person is crazy. it ends the conversation. except -- >> i think it's a compliment. >> in this day and age. in my mind the new one is that person is racist it shuts the whole thing down. >> you can call anyone racist and immediately you don't have to argue with them. you know it's nonsense when they're calling people like me racist. the amount of times i've been called that, or white nationalist, it shows that they're full of it. it just shows that their arguments are full of holes. their war chefts are empty. and we are able to bring people in and say and at least provide people with the strength to know we are the majority, we are going to fight, win, and we will not be silenced by these thugs, communists, socialists, who are literally trying to introduce authoritarian i. we have to fight back and let them know they will not silence us. it's over, and we will win this fight in 2020. >> thank you. gentlemen. if we don't get this done in 2020 i will meet you both in the gulags. >> thank you, pleasure. >> think we're going off this way. >> that way. that way. that way. [ applause ] >> show your love, ladies and gentlemen. and for our final piece we're going to bring out from the epic times, joshua philip and morgan zblegers from young americans against socialism. joshua is the senior reporter for thennic times and host of the china report, contributes to many networks. morgan zbl morgan zeger. >> thanks for having me. thank you. >> pleasure. >> pleasure, indeed. >> yeah, morgan. >>hi. >> you have many fans here, morgan. i'm going to start, joshua, help us define socialism. you're the expert on the topic, more well-versed than i am. what is socialism? >> a lot of people confuse socialism and communism. they don't know how they interrelate. if we go into the ideas of what it really is, it is the dictatorship of the prolet airiat. it is where the government has seized every single part of the society and uses every single part of that society to driver it towards the goals of communism. it is meant to annihilate your moral values, to annihilate your religion, your culture. and the commune ift manifesto it says it destroys all roe lition and morality. we make the mistake of negotiating with the socialists on the basis of he can nonchsz when in reality it is about meta physics and atotolgy. it is about attacking your culture, ideas and the foundations of your society. >> that's a pretty dark picture. morgan, why are so many young folks infatiated these days? >> i know a recent poll came out that said 70% my age would vote for a socialist. my country is i don't think 70% of people my age want to seize the means of production. i think they're falling for bernie sanders' lies. we talk about the failures of socialism. bernie sanders is saying the biggest lie, his democratic socialism will make us like denmark. the only problem is denmark is capitalist. not adding up here. >> joshua, what are the conditions that need to occur in order for a country to turn socialist? >> so in order for a country to become socialist, there are two different forms. one is violent revolution where through violent means they kill people, seize the reins of the powers of the state and use that to drive it further along the progressive track and what they believe is social evolution towards the end goals of communism. or they talk about democratic socialism, winner the social democrats or the social democrats under -- anyways, under engles. the idea is then they achieve it through democratic election. people through willful voting choose to implement this total tairch regime. >> do you think that elections matter anymore? there are lots of cases where the will of the people is often thwarted. are we already creeping toward that type of altitude in our politics? >> i think we were for a very long time. i personally think it's in the death throes. i think people are waking up and seeing it for what it is. >> morgan, it was our granddaddy's fight, it was our parents fight. now it's our turn to make that druggel. what do you think is going to happen to future generations? joshua seems to posit, we can get it done, death throes, this is such a repulsive option that perhaps we can get rid of it all together? >> the polls look very negative, but i feel very optimistic about the future of the country. i think my generation is one of the most creative, entrepreneurial, innovative capitalist that we've ever seen. they just aren't able to make that connection that they are. i'm saying be republican, be a democrat, but if you want programs paid for in america be you need a capitalist backbone. we failed our kids in the classroom, but we also failed our veterans because they put their lives on the line so we would have a free and prosperous and fair phewture for generations to come and now i think we're spitting on it in the classroom. >> what would you say morgan, to the good moms and dads out there who put in 18 years raising great kids, and that kid goes off to college and comes back with a bag of laundry and a bernie sanders sticker and says, mom and dad, i'm a socialist? >> every time i get off the stable i have a few mom and dads that come and say please talk to my child. i sent them for a semester and now they came back a marxist. i think when i started this i did a lot of research. i found that socialists manipulate language. i want everybody to pay attention to the language, the justi justice democrats, aoc, the squad. i want to call attention to bernie sanders video, it says what is freedom? young people say am i free if i have student loan debt? am i free if i have high health care costs? am i free if i only work my dead-end job to get health care insurance? yes, you're still very free. but the problem is that video ends by saying no, you're not free. freedom comes from economic freedom, and you aren't economically free unless you are x, y, z program. freedom is student loan cancellation. so bernie sanders has done what hayek has said in the road so serfdom, change the meanings of basic words. he has now changed it from freedom to live your own life to now freedom of responsibility of having to take care of your several, the burden of being. the left rejects it. [ applause ] >> cpac, you heard from our friend at the top of the day, gordan and lidia chang talking about our friend in hong kong, jimmy lie, who is a supporter of the hong kong student protest movements and we stand with jimmy lie, with those freedom fighters in hong kong. joshua, describe for us so that, you know, bring it home, how the prc socialist style works and the impact that it has on the citizenry and down to their individual lives? >> so let's be clear what socialism is. the china is ruled by the chinese communist party. they call their system socialism with chinese charactericts. when they took power they skilled 50 million to 70 million people. to this day they still have concentration camps, still people for believing in religion, dictate what you can or can't believe. they say if you want to be a christian, you have to recognize the state first and god second. in fact, if you go into china and have the 10 commandants on the wall they say you have to strike off the first one because it's not in line with commonest party doctrine because you cannot acknowledge a power higher than the party. if you're a catholic you can't acknowledge the people as being above the party. the party comes first. chinese people are facing, living under a tirrancall regime. you could call it a state capitalism if you want to be funny. this ties into one of the funny traits of socialism. all these young kids think it's going to free them from these tyrancal corporations. when in reality what it is is state capitalism. they do not get rid of the factories. they have never. they do not plan to. the state seizes control of the factories and controls every single economic power in the country. they don't get rid of anything people believe they're fighting against. it is a system of slavery. it is one that takes control of every single part of your life, denies you the access to the fruits of your labor, tells you what you can and cannot think, and tells you what you can and cannot believe. that is slavery in every single form down to a level beyond what we've ever seen before. [ applause ] down to your spiritual level and ability to think freely. >> we began this conversation, presentation, talking about slavery. we're ending it talking about slavery. morgan, when i first met you, you gave this very hopeful so lilo quay about how there's still hope for young people, even if you were attracted to this socialist thing, there's so much room for common ground in young people that it's being neglected, whether in the media, pli the political system. speak for one moment before we introduce or next speaker, manage tourray, which you don't want to mix, talk about those hopeful things and places for common cause that young people should think about and their parents too. >> of course. i love a good political fight. i am conservative. but yas is none partisan, nonprofit. if we focus on talk about the three issues my generation cares about, protecting the environment, finding affordable health care, and the student loan crisis, we can get them on to our side. first of all with the student loan crisis every essentialist movement throughout history has to create the desire for forced government wealth redistribution and they're using the student loan cris tois do so. they're saying those evil rich people on wall street, they have money that they don't deserve, it's immoral they have it. it's not fair. give me power and i will use government force to take it from them and give to to you because you deserve it. they're using that to train our generation to support that. the last thing, guys, climate change, we're all dying in ten years apparently. they're using it to fear monger and force my generation into thinking that the green new deal is the only way to save the planet. but aoc's chief of staff admitted it started as an economic plan to restructure from capitalist to socialist and later on called it climate change. i'm not believing their narrative and we need to reject that by showing our generation, we love the environment, are conservatives, and want to protect the planet too [ applause ] >> i want you to give a nice cp cpac round of applause for these two. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> thank you, i appreciate it. >> you're good. >> thank you.

[ cheers and applause ] >> there we go. there we go. okay. so i got ten minutes. i'm going to take eight. now this is the part of the, you know, event where everybody gets nice and awkward. okay? everybody gets nice and awkward because we have a full room of people that believe in conservative values, liberty, freedom and all of those things. but we've had historical references that we are not using to strengthen conservative values in urban america. okay? so what i'm going to do now is give you guys something to go back to your communities with that you can utilize. because left media has made you all racist. it's just what it is. okay? is that fair? are we in a safe space for that? okay. anybody know who this is? that guy right there. anybody? most photographed guy in the 19th stri century, one of our top-tier haul of fame checklists abolitionists that is the voice or should be the voice for conservative america, especially black americans. anybody want to take a quick crack at who that is? fredric douglass, right? clap it up for fred. i'm going to give you a break down. i've got eight minutes and i'm nervous. fredric doughlos most photographed person, most speeches given publicly, traveled national lever and internationally challenging racism, new deal type of things, and the very thread of what america stood for. he is the example of someone who used business and pushed to end tyranny. named the profit, conflicted, doesn't get everything right, told all kinds of weird jokes, clear couldn't traditions and didn't get everything right. when i say that's what she said jokes, they're not always appropriate for the time in the room. but the reality is we have to push back against that narrative by informing ourselves, educating ourselves. this is the young man in that picture, this young man traded food and bread for the ability to learn, the ability to read. it was unlawful at that time. if i taught someone how to read, i'm now a felon. okay? so i want to be aware of that. the information i'm telling you right now, some of these people, some of these things you may be aware of. but it's not about you. how are we going to get conservative principles in urban america? that's the over arcing theme, that's the reason why socialism looks sa tracktive, because we have been unavailable to urban america. are we agreeing there? [ applause ] now, these are things that i'm not just saying. these are things that we've done, and they're scalable, so we know they work. we started a solutionry book club. right? every single day, every month we pick a book, conservative-based, and we use the power of social media, when i'm not shadow banned. we use the power of social media to translate these ideas. the book that we're going to start in the ma of march, the narrative of the life of fredric douglas. anybody read it? great book. now, you're more familiar with this picture of freddie, right? this second fredric douglas pick when he was a little bit older, obviously. at this time he had already traveled, broke free, went up to maryland, new york and all of these other different places. we going to talk about this. fredric douglas was repeatedly accused of not being a slave ironically. he breaks away when it's like a thing, and then people say, there's no way you were a slave, bro. repeatedly accused of not being a slave and making up his story, his owner and overseer fed slave children from troughs and mercilessly whipped slaves. douglas increased his renowned with the publication of life of fredric douglas, that painted a grim picture of his life. later he updated it to include more information. he named his former masters who had been attempting to capture him using bounty hunters. we have to speak. if we don't we won't be represented. support these voices. brandon was on here and said you're no longer the silent majority. you're the unsilent majority. okay? [ applause ] call them out. so you got a guy on the run. on the run. to a point where even at that time, even if i'm in a free state, right, if i'm an escaped slave, captive and don't have my papers, i can be snatched and brought back. fredric douglas still went around the nation informing people about the i willles of laziness, of enslavement, of not being informed. while at any time he could have been snatched and brought back to captivity. there is no excuse, there is no excuse. call them out. what with he do, walmart -- listen, i like rollover deals like the next person. i'm going to be easy here. walmart says, we don't want to sell certain types of guns or take guns, that is not american. i'm sorry if that offends someone. it's not my intent. we are a nation that owns firearms and we are -- fire airm owners are some of the most safe and span people you will ever meet. straight like that. [ cheers and applause ] so what we did was i just started telling everybody to support local businesses like as firearms. those are my friends. i gave them a plug. okay? sheryl is awesome. black guns -- >> danny is nice, too. black guns matter, gun free zones do not work. s that us calling that out. since 1991, the vast majority of gun -- excuse me, mass shooting have been in gun-free zones. they don't work. i'll speed through this. this is second fredric douglas working nationally and internationally, fred there ireland, quickly returned to the united states. i'm going to speak faster. listen, this man was on the run, traveled internationally telling people about the illes of slavery and beauty of working hard. this is after he opened his own newspaper. had about 4,000 sub prescriptions where for two a piece back in the day. we know what inflation does. that was still good money from a guy on the run. this is the same man that bought his way -- his friends, bought his way out of enslavement while he was on the run. never saw socialism do that. work nationally and internationally. this is a guy, that's my guy patrick, in south africa. there is a white dude in south africa at the nelson mandela site wearing a black guns matter shirt. solution airies go wherever we want because we know we are based in conservative principles that work. you have to be loud, consistent, daily, and letting people know, creating liaisons that this works and we do what we want because where we come from is a legitimate space. this is the north star. fredric douglas's newspaper. 4,000 sub prescriptions nationally. he didn't even have an iphone. $2 annually. create and sell your own media. this is my radio show. sundays 8:00 to 12:00 p.m. it's a conservative station, but i'm really, really like contra. so on any given moment depending on who the sponsors are i can get fired. i'll say there's only two genders, pro, or sis. right? so when i say that, i can get fired. so i made my own podcast just in case they fire me. [ cheers and applause ] quick, we got a minute left. anybody know who this is? say it real quick. it's not harriet tubman. ah ha, that's fredric douglas's first wife. why are we ignoring women as patriots? [ applause ] amplify the voices of women. diana is right there. she will not comply. these are women, the sister on the left is deceased now, run and create their own show. we have to amplify the voices. 15-year-old young lady first time shooting, x shots. john brown, i got 50 sebds left. that's john brown, he worked with fredric douglas, harbor ferry anybody? support virginia. we got a lot of bills going that's very anti-freedom. sb-64 got to go. that's the citizens defense league. that's harriet tubman working together with fredric douglas. recruit, recruit, recruit. that's a gun community class right there. look at that room. more. the reality is i got 18 seconds. the limits of tyrants are prescribed by those endurance of those they oppress. your job is prescribe the limits of their oppression. this is the business of ending tyranny. thank you for listening to me, cpac. [ cheers and applause ] ♪ ladies and gentlemen, up next the conversation with director scott turner and administrator andrew wheeler, please join me in welcoming from fox news, lawrence jones. ♪ [ applause ] ♪ >> yes. >> sit down, gentlemen. sit down. how you all doing, cpac? [ cheers and applause ] >> thank you all for joining us for an important conversation. gentlemen, i've been going across the country with fox news talking with minority communities, urban communities, that need help. and i've been telling them that with the trump administration, the cavalry is coming, that they care about jobs. if you're american you want to work, we're going to put you back to work. businesses, why should the people out here care about this issue? starting with you, scott? >> thank you, lawrence. and i'm so happy to be here with you all at cpac. you know, the president has set forth policies that give the people of america inside of distressed communities an opportunity to start businesses, to build new homes, to be self sustaining, to be self governing, to fulfill their god given potential. i have the opportunity to work in a council that works in our opportunity zones. opportunity zones bring stakeholders together inside of communities that haven't seen investment in decades. you're talking about elected officials, community leaders, faith leaders, education leaders, with developers and entrepreneurs, sitting at the same table at the same time, having a hard conversation. what's the pain of this community? why is this community, you know, vacated and blight? and what's the promise here, the potential of the community? and to see all of these people coming together to bring viable solutions, job creation, new businesses, new homes. >> they're willing to listen to you? this is not a partisan issue? >> no. >> you got everybody involved with you? >> yes. >> and a good thing about opportunity zones, i've learned doing this job, i've been to almost 60 cities in the last 11 months, and poverty has no color. poverty has no party. it doesn't matter if you're republican or democrat. poverty affects our country. it's systemic. it affects all of us indirectly or directly. and so when you look at poverty and say our goal and vision is the eradication of poverty, to help people rise up. when you in poverty you don't care about party. revitalization doesn't have a party. it starts inside of the hearts of all people. >> we hear about the regulations that were in these communities, that was stopping the growth from the epa. how bad was it? >> we had a lot of regulations that were stopping growth around the country. and the important thing about these opportunities zones is going in with federal money under our brown fields program and cleaning up these communities, and then attracting private sector dollars into these communities. president trump really cares about the forgotten americans in this country. and these opportunity zones are in the inner cities and rural communities. and what we've done over the last three years is invest in these communities, and when we invest a little bit of money from the federal government to clean up these sites, the private sector then comes in and they invest more money. and we're seeing after we've cleaned up a site, that the local tax revenue goes up 27 to $98 million. we've created over 155,000 jobs in these communities by cleaning up the brown field sites in the opportunity zones. but the regulations under president trump, we have deregulated -- we have taken away 51 regulations saving the american public $6.5 billion. [ applause ] just from epa alone. >> that's amazing. administrator, i know this audien audience. when they hear about the federal government coming in and giving out money, how can you competently tell them that the money is not going to be abused or wasted? >> we watch carefully. there are these old industrial sites around the country, in inner cities and rural communities that need to be cleaned up. they have contamination. some of the companies that did this maybe a hundred years ago. but we don't want these blighted city blocks, blighted buildings where there's nothing occurring. we want them cleaned up. we go in and make sure that the people who are hired to clean up are doing it under the environmental standards and they can be redeveloped and repurposed. we're seeing new development come into these communities. it's incredibly. it's not just the inner cities but also the rural areas. we listed a new super-fund site in min done, west virginia. it was the site of a lot of mining 55, 77 years ago. that's been designated. it's a third of what it was. they now have new hope we're going to be able to clean up the waste and maybe attract new jobs. >> scott, before -- that's amazing, by i way. scott, before you joined the white house -- [ applause ] -- you were a state representative, a pro football player, and you were a businessman. when i go out in the community, the equalizer is the green. everybody cares about the money. so what are you doing with the opportunity zbloepz as it relates to entrepreneurship? because there's a lot of people where i come from that are businesspeople. they just don't what to do? >> that's a great question. when you look at opportunity zones, the spirit of this law -- and this came about because the tax cuts and jobs act in 2017. the spirit of opportunity zones is both economic development and social impact. and so when you look at opportunity zones and look at the development that's going on that's -- there's real estate development, but there's also operating businesses, which is just as important. we know in america, you know, small to medium businesses, that drives our economy. that's the american way. you're talking about like in cleveland ohio, there's a new bakery that's coming online in an opportunity zone. a first-time business owner that has private capital and public investment coming together to start a new business in the tree monte area of cleveland, ohio. they're building housing and retail shops. that's just one example. the president is very driven and very supportive, if you will, from his background and from his heart about entrepreneurship and people starting and owning businesses. so that is a huge driver. just yesterday at the white house we had nearly 150 black entrepreneurs and business owners at the white house for a summit to talk about entrepreneurship, what policies are helping you? what's working? what do we need to do better? we're not just about checking the box. this is an initiative. the opportunity is long-term sustainability. and so when people come to the white house, we want to hear, what's working for you? how can we help you to be successful in your business? to take care of your family? to be an impact in your community? long after all of us are gone, the vision is that it will have a generational impact in our country. that was why i'm here. that's why we're all here, right? [ applause ] and so that's the heart of it. entrepreneurship is a big driver of that. you give someone who has a skill set, like someone who can cut hair, or maybe a lady who's a beautician or even somebody that's good with their hands and they want to be a plumber or a welder, and we build career and technical centers to teach the trades, to teach somebody how to draw blood, to teach cosmetology, to teach somebody how to be a fireman. and they they go out and have an honest job and great living and maybe even start a business that could ignite something in their community. may even ignite, look, conversations around the kitchen table are changing. >> that's right. >> when you start talking about, i know i can own this. i came from a broken home. right? and when you get these young people who inside of the inner cities and now they start talking, you know what? i'm good with my hands. maybe i can start a business one day. those conversations around the table are changing. and when they start changing then generations start changing. [ applause ] and i want to let administrator wheeler start. but entrepreneurship is not only driving our economy but literally changing families and futures and generations. and that's something that we as a country and people together need to continue to drive and pray for and to ignite and insfleft. we'll see a greater america when that happens. [ applause ] >> absolutely. you know, this is an anti-sociallism conference, but there has to be an alternative administrator to the people that want socialism. and what scott is saying is that the government has not saying, i'm not going to give you this. you're not just giving grants away? >> no. >> you're making sure people have the education and are partnering with the local businesses in the community. talk a little bit about that. >> yes. we are in -- one of the other programs we have at epa is under our clean air act. if a local community particularly the cities are nonaain'tment for the -- it's hard to attract businesses. we are working more proactively with cities all over to get them from nonattainment to attainment. we have moved 38 communities from nonattainment to attainment over the last three years. >> right. >> that is lifting a lot of the regulatory burd ernz'sens on our cities so they can attract new businesses. when a business looks to see where they want to settle or start a new facility, they look to see whether or not the community is in attainment with the environmental standards. by helping these communities attain these standards, it's helping attract new businesses into you are o our cities, particularly inner cities. i want to make sure everybody knows and understands, our environment is cleaner today than it has ever been. [ applause ] epa is 50 years old this year. our air pollution is 74% lower than it was in 1970. >> wow. >> 74%. [ applause ] we measure six criteria air pollutants, have been for 50 years. all six have gone down under president trump's leadership. our air is cleaner today. our water is cleaner today. in 1970, 40% of the water systems failed to meet standards. today over 92% meet the standards every single day, and we're working with the other communities that occasionally have a problem to make sure we provide clean water to every american regardless of their zip code and where they live. everybody deserves clean air and water. [ applause ] >> so administrator, i have to ask you, because i've been in this media business. you don't hear -- >> i've noticed that. >> yeah, so tell me what data do they have that you don't have that you're the epa administrator? >> can i say something? >> absolutely. >> is it all right, we're going to -- administrator wheeler is doing a tremendous job at the epa. who thinks about the epa literally? >> i do. >> i know you do. [ laughter ] but people need to understand that this is a business-minded leader and administration. when you drive by brown fields, when you drive by blighted communities, you drive by that, you take all that for granted. what he sees is opportunity. because developers do not want to develop in a place that is dirty, that has contamination. what he is doing is literally clearing the way for development to come inside of these communities that have not seen development in a long time. because it's clean. >> yes. >> right? it's cleaned up. [ applause ] and so it is very important, right? >> but -- >> about what he's doing. >> i do want to point out, i want to make sure everything is cleaned up for more development and people to have jobs and opportunities. but we also care about the environment. i'm an eagle scout. i still go hiking and camping. [ applause ] and i want to make sure that the environment is safe and preserved for future generations. >> thank you, sir. >> this is not a epa secretary administrator that sits behind the desk. he's been on the road with scott turner making sure, looking at the communities, seeing what's going on, and clearing the way, getting big government out of the way, checking them. another crucial part is education. we want people to have jobs, entrepreneurship, but we want quality businesses. so what are you guys been doing to make sure that these people are ready to go out there, be in the workforce, and then create -- be job creators? >> that's a good question. i'm sorry for interrupting you. >> i'd rather listen to you speak. >> you know it's one thing to have jobs to be creative. but you have to train the people to take the jobs. and so workforce development is a tremendous and very important initiative of the administration. ivanka trump is leading that effort when it comes to workforce and workforce training. [ applause ] and so, you know, on the opportunity and revitalization council, there's 14 federal agencies and three state and regional partners. we have different pill laurz inside of the council to economic development to safe neighborhoods and labor and education, workforce training. that is a tremendous and a big priority, to make sure that people are trained for the 21st century workforce. because if you look at the young people today in the high schools and the middle skoolgz and even those in the colleges and universities, that's the generation of leaders that workforce that's coming. so we have to do our best job, the administrator, myself and you lawrence and others, to make sure they're ready to take that baton and trapd up in the right way. so education is very important. listen, we've had a deal in our country where we're encouraging young people, saying you have to go to a four-year college. all young people are not going to go to a four-year college but it doesn't mean they're not going to be successful. we need to change that narrative and change those conversations. because some people become -- some young people become discouraged. >> that's right. >> and think, i'm not college material and i don't want to go to college. but i still want to be successful. we need to let them know, you absolutely can be successful and have a prosperous life. you know, if you don't go to college. >> i'm going to interrupt you now. we're doing that at epa as well. we're looking to hire new risk assessors, recent college graduates in our north carolina facility. if you're a recent college student, you're from north carolina, we're looking to hire new risk assessors to help us relocate in research triangle park. at the same time we are training across the country people to go into the water management systems jobs. this is public waterworks. the public waterworks workers today, 40 to 50% are eligible to retire. we're going to have a shortage. we're trying to get out there, and you don't necessarily have to have a college education to work for a water supply company. it is jobs from across the whole spectrum. >> that's great. >> 40 to 50% are eligible to retire today. we have to make sure we have people trained to run our water systems, public, sewer, water systems to ensure we have safe water. >> so you are the epa administrator, and what is your message to conservatives? i'm a conservative, but i believe that god entrusted us to be good stewards of the earth? >> absolutely. >> what is your message to the conservatives out here about our environment and the state of our environment? >> our environment is the clean ostst been since we've been measuring it for the last 50 years. 74% reduction. you don't hear that in most news organizations or the newspapers. 74% reduction. we're trying to make things more transparent. we're working on cost ben fit regulations so we can explain to the american public what are the costs. people have a right to know what they're paying for. you need to know what the benefit of of that regulation. we're going to require it going forward for all of our regulations. today we are going live with a new database. this is president trump's idea. where all of our epa guidance documents will be publicly accessible to the public. you can go on our website and see our guidance documents for the first time ever. >> transparency. >> we're all about transparency. the third area i want to highlight, our science transparency regulation. i've gotten beat up on this by everybody in the media. what we're trying to do is make sure that if we use a scientific study to justify a regulation, that that scientific study has to be made available to the public so you know how we're making our decisions. [ applause ] i think if we do that that clears up a lot of the mystery and confusion about the policies and how we regulate. and the american public can see what their taxpayer dollars are buying. because it's not government money. it's money from the taxpayer. >> that's great. scott, i opened this up by saying that when i go to baltimore, chicago, philly, i told them in the community that the cavalry is coming, the white house cares about them. tell me some of the success stories from your work with these opportunity zones. >> okay. i only have 1 minute and 9 seconds left. i will tell you to go to opportunityzon opportunityzones.gov. that's some of the things we've learned along the way and how you can get involved in opportunity zones. i told you about the new business in cleveland, the bakery. one is in liberty city, miamy. secretary carson and i were there because developers took one of the toughest parts of the city and are redeveloping into multifamily housing. the first resident moved in, the nicest apartment she says ever in her life. there's two young men that the developer taught to be window and door installers. and during that press conference one of those young men tapped that window and said, i put this window in here. we don't want to be on the streets, the corner. now he has a life skill because of opportunity zones. [ cheers and applause ] >> ladies and gentlemen, the d administrator, director, thank you for being here. revitalization is a conservative issue. if we are not there, we open the door for socialism to take place. there is an entire community that are crying for help, and the white house is saying, send me, send me. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you, too.

[ applause ] wow. hello. can you guys hear me all the way in the back? yes. i am going to get right into this. i have said to my husband the other day it becomes apparent to me the last few year that is the left has no idea that the world did not begin in 1776. three years of traveling the country and facing off hysterical liberals, that's my scientific conclusion that they have the slightest idea that anything exists or anything economi existed outside of the united states of america. let me give you an example. you all recall when the left had morphed into a doomsday. everything that president trump says or does will end america. you all recall when they once again prophesized. this is the begin of world war iii. they promised us we'll head straight into world war iii. it was a remarkable day. it was a day where we watched democrats and liberals shrieking about sexism and turning into passionate defenders of iran. the country whose contribution states that a woman's life is worth half a man. of course the war never happens. colin kaepernick tweeted, "there is nothing new against american attack against black and brown people for the expansion of imperialis imperialism." fascinating. a rant about black andimperaliz. of course you knew me on twitter, i felt it necessary to mention to colin nicely on twitter, to mention to colin that particular country of brown and black body used to be known as persia and for his reply thesis, persia used to be an empire quite literally an imperial dynasty for 200 years almost as long as america has been alive. it was the most powerful state in the world imperializing regions of you guessed it, black and brown people. i was not shocked to learn that colin kaepernick never picked up a historical textbook. i would say he's shocked that he had not seen the movie "300." where the black and brown bodies are looking to imperialize the white bodies in greece. maybe he thought it was all made up and fiction or maybe kaepernick is not telling the truth. he's paying millions to convince that black and brown bodies are oppressed to keep them angry. which could explain why on thanksgiving day colin tweeted, "thank you my indigenous family i am with you now and always." on 4th of july he tweeted "want to be an american slave is your 4th of july." i am talking about colin because the picture he's painting is clear. the opinion that america is a horribly racist country whose guilt can't be untethered. why was colin so clearly able to forgive that sin from american and indigenous people, his quote on quote, "family." that's an convenient truth. slavery was not brought to this continent by white europeans. slavery existed everywhere in the world including here. they were trying to imperialize one another. they would sometimes sell their own children and torture others as a part of their religious rights, depending on which tribes you were in, cannibalism was not even a common place. native americans cannibalized one another. when the spanish colonists arrived, they were greeted over 100,000 skulls belonging to humans that had been sacrificed to the god. they found the remains of 42 children all around the age of five who were sacrificed to the rain god. special days require more sacrifice by the way. on the inauguration of the aztec, they sacrificed between 20,060,000 human beings in a single day. the ceremony i would like to paint a picture of the ceremony. the ceremony are performed in front of large crowd. victims was held with chest slashed open and the heart was hold to the sun. the body parts distributed to spectators home to eat. the colonists writing was about native americans were dismissed in the united states. the politically correct argument was white european men wrongly portray the indigenous people to justify their own genocide pursuit. the native americans had been misunderstood in their own recorded sacred texts regarding their cannibalism. he characterized as cannibalism in the southwest of america and even "the new york times" had to acknowledge the article they published entitled new data suggested cannibalism by the indians. my purpose of sharing all this is not to offer a vindication of the murderous actions of the earlier colonists. my purpose is to tell the truth. the truth about the history of all men of days past. the truth of the history of all men of days past. history that's complex, ugly and moral and leaves no man regardless of the skin complexion. the left wants us to believe otherwise. to them imperialism and cannibalism and murder and slavery, all of this undeniably are for given. so long as they were not committed by white men. they can forget the heinous action of the egyptian empire and the turkish i empire, the chinese empire and the japanese empire. we can forget the fact that the overwhelming majority of the world's empire were not run by white men. they also by the way choose to forget the fact that the first two abolish the craft of slavery was great britain. [ applause ] they were followed by the french colonies who were followed by the united states, centuries of slaveries and three countries of the white men and led the world and ening ding it. no, no, you are supposed to forget it. the left teaches us slavery only really mattered when they did it. the white men's history needs to never ever be forgotten. but, what if we are not talking about history? what if we are talking about the present and today? people like colin kaepernick hates america right now and it is rooted in the concept of the present sins of our country's existence. surely that must be the reason why, colin tweeted how can we truly celebrate independence on a day that intentionally robbed our ancestors of theirs to find my independence, i went home and quote. he was referring to africa. colin took a trip to ghana because he wanted to see what his people saw before they were forcefully taken away. i want to pause and drive this way home. in lieu of celebrating his independence in america, colin got on a plane and went to africa, a continent which he found better grounds for celebration which is interesting. it is interesting because currently today in africa there are close to 700,000 slaves and this is going to shock the heck out of the two see that they are not being enslaved by white people. they are being enslaved by other africans. child soldiers, human trafficking, force labor all exist in the same region. african bodies are being sold and they're not being purchased by any country of predominantly white men. it is a wonder that colin never mentioned that a ghana today his beloved country of emotional from the horror of america, 20,000 children living in slavery to support the fishing industry along lake baltar, cnn covered the story. the boy was captured in captivity and he was slaved tirelessly. why didn't colin mention any of this? why have in of the alleged courageous leaders of black issues and oppression mentioned any of this? i know. because they are not leaders at all. they're extortionists. [ applause ] >> colin continues to earn those millions. he was not the first. he was not the only and he won't be the last. so to our al sharpton and jesse jackson and to cnn and "the new york times" and msnbc and their anchors and to every single one of you race hustlers distorted black paint to line your own pockets and seeing the opportunity that lays beneath their feet here in america, the land of the free, the home of the brave, i say this to you, there will be a black-exit. [ applause ] you have seen how a man was made a slave. i like it because it reigns true. i have seen how a man was made of slave. i have seen how black americans have been enslaved of the debate of race, how liberals and how left and the democrats, while robbing us blindly of our family and faiths. you have seen how a man was made a slave then he continues the quotation. and now you shall see how a slave was made a man. to the veterans. so i say to the veterans of many black ideological war and the patriots who have fought besides us, and my supporters who have seen me from a girl on youtube to a different idea to a soon published author of the book "black out." to all of you in this room, i want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you for experiencing this with me but most importantly foreseeing how this former slave to poisonous liberal ideology was made a woman and made an american, may god bless you all. [ applause [ applause ] we are here at the convention, huge enthusiasts, everybody is here to see what's out there. >> there is a lot of seminars and a lot of different kinds of seminars. >> you are around people conver. >> if they would come here and meet all the people, they would see it is different. >> great speakers and unmatched. it is our constitutional rights. i want to get more involved, i feel this is a place i can do it. >> i thought it would be a new experience to see all the vendors and check out all the new gears. >> there has never been an organization quite like the national rifle association of america. no other people are so alert, so vigilant, so unafraid to take a stand for what's good and right. everybody coming together with one thing. >> i am from texas. >> mexico. tennessee. >> the enemy israel a real, we o be ready. >> get involved. >> they got our backs. very important to be apart of the nra. they protect our rights by showing up each and everyday on behalf of our freedom. this is our time, we must lead the way and we must save our freedom. >> join with us. there is a campaign going on right now to hijack the electoral college. it is called national popular vote or mvp. mvp wants to giveaway their electoral votes based on the nationwide popular vote. it is the left way to make sure al gore or hillary clinton never lose again and npv is nearly away to hijack the electoral college. we need your help. after the election of donald trump, the left is dead set on destroying the electoral college. stand up for our president by texting defend to 3377. ladies and gentlemen, our next panelist working towards citizens for solutions. rich valdez and moderated by denise varelini. [ applause ] >> gentlemen. >> thank you. >> good afternoon patriots. [ applause ] i want to start off the panel by saying call me old school but i thought the primary role was to protect our secitizens. >> amen to that. we have democrats that are supporting sanctuary cities, putting the welfare of illegal aliens before americans. that's the launch of our discussion. i want to read a statement to you and this is from a news release from the u.s. information in customs enforce m enforceme enforcement. a national was arrested by the new york police department and charged with murder, sexual abuse and contact by forcible compulsion and sexual abuse against the person incapable of consent. con was released from a local law enforcement in november 2019 with an active detainer due to new york city sanctuary polic s policies, the victim is a 92 years old woman. there was an active i.c.e. detainer which was ignored by local law enforcement. this is one of many stories. i want to start with rich, you and i were speaking backstage about this very subject, if you can just elaborate. >> thank you, denise. thank you c-pac, it is so great to be here and the best country that god ever created. the united states. [ applause ] >> what denise was talking about something hit really close to home. we were talking and i was telling her i got a text from my brother about that story. it was from fox news. i have already seen the story, i read it in the new york post. he says you are missing the point. i said what's the point. he says that's darius' grandmother. i said wow. daria is his sister in law's cousin grandmother. i said oh my god, that's when it became incredibly real that this was not just a sweet and innocent, poor woman that was strangled, raped and murdered in queens. it was someone that we knew. it really, that pulls the heart strings and it makes you think and gives you pause and says, who cares about your politics. we have to put america first and the security and safety of our citizens. >> you know when this case arose, it is one of the tragedies that we have seen, partly because it is one of the helpless victims. we have seen this happening to children from people we have requested, department of homeland security i.c.e. requested from previous arrest that criminals be turned over to us. you will hear two things frequently, i won't say in defense. one is that well, the rain of crime among illegal aliens is no difference. i won't argue over that. it does no matter. the reality is and in this woman's case and many of the children. we are sitting here in pg county and they had ms 13 murdered and the 14 years old girl murdered with their policies right here in this county. these are crimes that should never happen. this is not a question of the rate of crime. the rate should be zero because criminals should not be in this country. >> amen. >> and we have given these communities the way to protect themselves by removing these viral criminals from their communities. so zero, that's argument one. argument two is the victims have no voice. they have no voice. when you are a pg county right here where we sit. they're literally defending criminals. this is not against president trump. they're defending criminals at the expense of victims. so who are you for? well, mayor deblasio is for criminals and governor cuomo is for criminals. we can go around to mayors and governors across the country who are literally picking criminals over crime victims in completely p p prepreventable crimes. these are not percentages or maybe it will happen to me. these are literally crimes that could have been completely prevented. 100% guaranteed if they simply cooperated with immigration customs enforcement with ice. with the department of homeland security and president trump's effort to keep all of you safe and everyone else in america as well. >> sure. >> is the media doing their job, why is there not such outrage over this? >> it is interesting. i use another example. the only local media person in america that i know of that does a good job on this is because he a acts like what we think journalists should act like, his name is kevin lewis. a journalist who you don't know what their political believes are. he just reports what happens in his community and so this past june when their chief executive declared montgomery county, a county over a million people to be a sanctuary county and they proceeded to have a rape or murder including children every week for nine straight weeks. nine straight weeks of victimization. kevin lewis reported on it. he just said what happened. that's all he did. how about that? true. true. facts. the truth is a powerful allies. we all know here. facts are what we expect from a responsible media. to answer your question by and large the answer is no. i single out kevin lewis because it is a complete exception in the journalist profession of actually reporting news and letting all the rest of us drawing the conclusion. if that were going on in every community and that existed in new york. if that existed in los angeles, you would have a different outcome and let me prove it to you. let's go back to montgomery county. by the fall of 2019 and the victimization including children as young as 11 years old. they backed off. there is accountability from public pressure. many of you here probably went to the protests with michelle mulkins and other, that pressure overwhelmingly single party jurisdictions still got them to change their policy. what we care about department of homeland security is not what they say. it is what they do. they started to cooperate. they started to let us know when these criminals were going to get release, low and be hold, we have not had nine weeks of victimization. it works. security work security works. it can be turned around and made to work of the most partisan communities that we got. >> i want to chime in on that. the granddaughter of the deceased woman that we spoke about. i had a chance to interview her on a podcast we did. that was the point she made. it is amazing nobody knows about this stuff. it becomes a media story when this woman is, her words killed three times. her back was broken, her neck was broken. she was raped and murdered and strangled to death. it really has to give you pause when you say wow, is that what it takes for the media to respond to a crisis. the fact that you mentioned ms-13 in queens new york shooting each other on gangs on a crowded subway. these things are happening and it is a flash. 24 hours, 48 hours, something she said in our interview which really stuck with me is that she's going to dedicate the rest of her days to making sure that sanctuary policies are defeated. coming up in politics,
