Try like hell to hide that bald spot, folks. Hanging in there, right . Together we are hanging in. This is how we roll we hanging around singing everything on the radio. Pete hegseth off the couch. Griff and i taking over with rachel. Rachel i love when we come in with this kind of music. Ed they dont let the swamp come in. All these d. C. People. This is the music that gets you pumped up. Got to get pumped. You need the energy. Rachel we need the energy. We need the coffee. If you are at home, get your coffee. Stay in bed. Griff yeah, because d. C. Is taking over. We will tell you everything that you need to know. Ed you have been at cpac for a couple days. Griff listen, guys it was the 22nd time i covered cpac. 1985 was the first time Newt Gingrich had just taken over speaker of the house. Rachel reporter. First year in 1995 i was oliver north. We were doing radio row at that time. There was only four or five and now there are hundreds of shows and internet broadcast. Ed Mainstream Media didnt take cpac seriously. Oh, wait, not much has changed. Griff its a very important speech and President Trump gave a political speech and he did something and were going to talk about everything. Because there wassing for nerve a red meat fire up the base speech. He addressed the thought being complacent, a challenge that republicans have. Ed worried about the mid terms, maybe. Wants to get people pumped up. Griff let me let you hear from the president himself. People win, people get complacent. You just won and now you are happy and complacent. Dont be complacent. Because, if they get in, they will repeal your tax cuts. They will put judges in that you wouldnt believe. They will take away your Second Amendment, which we will never allow to happen. They will take away your Second Amendment. Rachel its important for him to do this because there really is an enthusiasm gap. Democrats are going to go to the poll and republicans are and a lot of independents. Ed republicans have won a lot of special elections nonetheless. Rachel they are happy. Sometimes when you are happy as you said a little complacent. A little more taxing to get to the polls. Griff give right. So Ronald Reagan spoke 13 times to cpac. He understood the need to be close to the base, right, to the impact that that cpac conference had in speaking to the base, this, of course, an uphill battle. So i think President Trump really took a risk, a lot of politicians wont which is to admit hey, we are going to lose guys, unless you fire up. He is talking to the base of the base, dont get complacent. Ed he has a strong hand at cpac that a lot of people dont want to admit he has. A couple months ago, around christmas, when Mainstream Media, all the democrats, nancy pelosi, the crumbs, people are going to die. The tax cut is not going to help you. Its not going to trickle down. Bottom news, after bonus, after bonus. Now we see polls this past week more than a majority the country believes the tax cut is a good thing. He has a stronger hand to bring to voters. Rachel judge jeanine was in the room. She was on with hannity last night. Here is what she had to say about the energy in that room. You know whats amazing is the energy in the room when the president spoke was very uplifting. It was optimistic. And it reflects the fact that probably in as long as i can remember, we have a president who actually fulfilled the promises he made during the campaign. The president was firm. He was funny. He was personal. And he was resolute. Resolute in making sure that american confidence is up. That under employment, unemployment is down. And that the American People understand that they have the right to make a living. They have the right to be able to provide for their families. And they have the right to secure and safe cities. I hit all the notes. He left it out of the park. Griff judge jeanine tagging the mainstreams there. For the reporter sitting in the room. My salute favorite moment was trump being trump in offthecuff moment noticing himself on the mirror and admiring his hair. Ed he is never selfdeprecating. Never. Griff listen to this. What a nice picture that is look at that i would love to watch that guy speak. Oh, boy. [applause] i try like hell to hide that bald spot, folks, i work hard at this. It doesnt look bad, hey, we are hanging in. We are hanging in. Were hanging in there, right . Together we are hanging in. Rachel yes, together, with his hair hanging in. It was interesting. When i saw him from behind i started to understanding, it started to come together for me how he actually combs it together in the back to cover the bald spot. It all makes since now. Ed one big sweep. Actually being transparent about it. Rachel he has to. He went up on the plane a while ago and it blew over it went viral. He had to address that. Ed American People wanted to know about it. I wanted to know. This particular lip really made the hair part come together. When he was talking about it you heard the crowd just screaming they love it i did something for us. I positioned myself right outside those doors when you got the jail break, if you will, of all the people spilling out and talked to people immediately after to see what they thought of it. Here is what we put together for you. I think this is really where trump excels. People may not love the way he says everything. He steps back and collapse with you. He enjoys the collective of it he is not the elitist let the praise come to him. Talking to the crowd and saying what he believes. He really understands that people arent looking for someone to talk down to them and seem superior. I was totally overwhelmed with all the promises made and all the promises kept and to hear from the president. He being repeat it over and over again. It sound sounds fresh and new to me each time i hear it. Like he said in his first year he has gotten a lot more done than most have in their first year. He is doing a lot for the people of this country and i really appreciate that. It shows he is also an entertainer and president and why america loves him so much. You dont get that on a lot of other channels. It was funny because you had people at msnbc and elsewhere attacking the president for he is talking about his bald spot. And there is all these serious issues. Then they are saying he covered 31 different topics. When barack obama did 31 different top pings. He hatopics. He covered all kindf ground, folk. He didnt say everything everyone wanted him to say. For example, went after north korea. We didnt get into that yet. We will get into the substance. He had some fun. Rachel the thing they hate about it though, ed, they dont like when is he likeable. They try so hard. The whole thing of the resistance is dont normalize him. This is the deal. This is what people love about him. Ultimately he more than any other politician i have ever seen is better than barack obama. He understands the connection between theater and entertainment and police cars. Hpolice and politics. A guy at the bar shooting the breeze. Ed sounds like george bush he got elected and i covered him. Rachel on your seat dont know what you are going to get. Ed some fun and serious talk as well. Really serious talk and serious news breaking overnight. Disturbing update, frankly, on the Deadly School shooting in parkland, florida. We are now learning not one but four Broward County deputies reportedly waited outside the school. Outside the school while the gunman opened fire. Taking, of course, 17 lives. Now, this is according to sources familiar with the Coral Springs Police Department down in florida whose officers ran inside the building to try and stop the shooter. This is being reported by cnn but, remember, the Broward County sheriff was on scene and at that town hall a few days ago talking about they did all they could, folks, to save lives. Griff meanwhile, there is more details coming out about the tip that the fbi failed to investigate. The wall street journal reporting the anonymous woman called the agency more than a month before the shooting saying she feared nikolas cruz would, quote get into a school and just shoot the place up. I know he is going to explode. Im not sure she could have been clearer. Rachel no. We are hearing more details that he brought a bird into his house and cut it open on the kitchen counter. These are such troubling disturbing facts. Remember when the father of meadow pollack stood up in the white house and he said im pissed. Thats how america feels right now. The more details that come out we are pissed off at every turn. The government failed us. Ed they say see something say something. People saw things, they said it the fbi didnt listen. It appears like local police and Sheriffs Office didnt listen. Maybe compounding it, nothing could be worse than the tragedy of all the lives lost. Right . So all this political noise and everything else, nra. But the fact that the sheriff i was down there briefly. I dont want to exaggerate for about a day last week when it first happened to help out with the coverage, our miami bureau was leading the way, i happened to be down there and talking to people. They were off at the beginning really rallying around the sheriff, sheriff israel in Broward County on top of the situation. In the last week this story has turned to the point where he is out there on cnn at this town hall a couple days ago saying we did all we could. We need the young people to stand up and tell these politicians gun control and all of these things he said we did all we could and im pair phrasinparaphrasing all he. He had to know the facts. He did not. His department, his Sheriffs Department did not do all they could. Rachel listen to this. He was shifting the blame because he knew the next day he was not going to be age to hide that information that you just gave. Ed yeah. Rachel Laura Ingraham had the sheriff o president of the n last night. Some of the fault i put on the Broward County school board. For years they know that the schools have been soft targets and they claim they wants to have Better Police presence inside the schools and they want tougher security yet, they do not want to cough up the money to pay for that better security and fortify their schools and have better designs. They dont want that. When they are fortunate enough to have a School Resource deputy on scene an armed Police Presence a lot of the liberal thinking principals on campus there, they dont want the Police Officers making arrests on campus and they dont want the drugs to be found on campus. And they dont want the warrants to be served on campus because it looks like there is bad stats at the school. Ed one quick thing i want to say i was on vacation the last few days. I havent been following every nuances. I have people tweeting me saying fire sheriff israel. Not think. I know we need to be fair to sheriff israel. We are getting these reports. He should come out. Did his department do more that we dont know about. But my broader point here is, a lot of people didnt wait for the facts in the beginning. This is the nras fault. This is Donald Trumps fault. They had basically zero facts. Now facts are coming in and its less and less about gun control. Its still an important debate. Its going to happen. Its going to be talked about. Sheriff israel and these facts are coming out. Folks, lets get to the bottom of the truth here. The fbi and irving else. Griff thats a great point. I would just add this. Pray for that one Deputy Scott Peterson because he is going to live with this for the rest of his life u cpac organizer matt schlapp who i spent a lot of time with greeting President Trump ahead of the speech does he think that President Trump did enough to energize the base . We will ask him next. Ed if former president obama gives a speech but the press cant report what he said, did it actually happen . Sacrifice our love President Trump do what he needed to da to fire up the base with an uphill climb in this years mid terms . I dont know how he could have done any better. You know what he actually did, griff, is he literally had a prepared speech which they had thought through, and he just totally gave a nearly extemporaneous speech. It was off the cuff. It was from his heart. It was obvious that he was just talking about what he believes his kin ship is with the conservative movement, which is the base, the heart and soul of the Republican Party, and they loved it. Griff matt, do you believe, there was some discussion in the halls, you know, President Trump at the beginning of that speech said i am a conservative, how about . Look what i have done . Do you think the crowd there views him as a true conservative now or more of a republican president who has accomplished significant conservative goals with an agenda to do more . I think the hard part for donald trump, because he was not a career politician, and, lets face it, we always elect career politicians, because he came from the business world, his political and policy positions were either unknown or they had been mixed. Really all they care about is what he wants to do and whats in his heart. He spoke from the heart yesterday. And he went through his accomplishments and he told them where he wants to take the country. And they love the agenda. I dont think anybody disputes that hes a conservative, that he wants to be known as a conservative president. And i think if we took a poll of this audience, i think he might do the math matt particularly impossible and be over 100 percent. Griff if you took a poll amongst your crowd what was the highlight of the crowd . What are they talking about all afternoon and this morning . Well, they loved the fact that he was funny and that he was just himself. But on the issues, its interesting the issue that really popped in both his speech and the Vice President s speech was this decision to move th our embassy in israel to jerusalem. That was wildly popular. I also thought his remarks about dr. Billy graham were really heartfelt, really appreciated, touching, and, of course, you got the old stand byes. Right . This is a crowd that does support the Second Amendment. This is a crowd that does support the president position to denuclearize iran. This is a crowd that does support the president s decision to pull out of that ridiculous paris Climate Change agreement. There was a lot of i think i lost track. Griff listen, its not over yet. Cpac continues today. Have you got dr. Sebastian gorka. Who else have you got. Mick mulvaney. From the office of management and budget. We have mark levin and tom fitton. I get the privilege of sitting down with house intelligence chairman devin nunes. Were going to give him a much deserves award. But then he is going to tell this crowd why this misuse of our Intelligence Community go after political opponents is so problematic for our constitutional democracy. Grif. Griff matt schlapp what a speech it was. Some in the Mainstream Media didnt like it. We will talk about that later. Thanks, matt. Good, good. Griff coming up, the debate over guns has been front and center after the florida massacre. Politicians have their ideas. What about Everyday Americans . We have a Town Hall Panel here to discuss it. Thats just ahead. Its going to be great. Hey we didnt have a homeowners claim last year so allstate is giving us money back on our bill. Well, that seems fair. We didnt use it. Wish we got money back on gym memberships. Get money back hilarious. With claimfree rewards. Switching to allstate is worth it. Rachel some quick headlines for you. An armed woman is behind bars after ramming her van into a security barrier at the white house. The secret service saying jessica ford was carrying a pistol when she intentionally did the act. Ford has been arrested twice before for trying to climb the white house fence in 2017. Police believe she has mental or emotional issues.

In the Days Since Last weeks horrible shooting in parkland, florida the debate over guns in america has been front and center. President trump weighing in. Our whole nation was moved by their strength and by their courage. We listened to their heart wrenches stories. Asked them for ideas and pledged to them and i can speak for all the senators and congressman and congresswomen all of the people in this room that are involved in this decision that we will act. We will do something. We will act. Ed what do Everyday Americans think. Vin sent hill a former Police Officer. Dr. Diane hesitat hess is a pol. And a managing partner of benchmark.
