This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
You can wire it.
I will step it up tonight.
I will wire the bail
money and be a good Christian.
Now lets turn to CPAC,
officially off and running yep
down in Florida.
They didnt have draconian
shutdowns and doing a lot better
than New York and California.
On Sunday, President Trump set
to give his first public remarks
since leaving office
earlier today. Well, here is what
Senator TED Cruz of Texas had to
say about Donald Trump and the
future of the Republican Party
lets take a look.
There are a lot of voices in
Washington that want to just
erase the last four years
want to go back to the world
before where we had the lobbyist
by the lobbyist and for the
lobbyists,
where the Republicans compelling
message was republicans,
we waste less
and look at Donald J Trump and
then look at the millions and
millions of people inspired who
went to battle fighting
alongside President Trump and
they are terrified
and they want him to go away.
Let me tell you this right. Now,
Donald J, Trump isnt going
anywhere
even trump a permit
from the admitting
president Trump runs again. He
will get the Partys nomination,
we have minority leader
Mitch, Mcconnell saying he will
support President Trump in twenty twenty four
if he becomes the Partys
nominee,
which brings me to an important
message to every conservative
and republican.
I understand how this works.
Ronald Reagan called it. The 11th
commandment thou shall not
attack other Republicans
in Reagans way.
Of course that will not happen,
but I do believe in reckons
eighty percent principal
if we agree with people, eighty percent of
the time. Well, they are not
really your enemy hear the
Republican Party. Well, I would
prefer to be as conservative as
I am.
It is not, but the Republican
Party, like the Democratic Party,
is made up of a broad coalition
and Republicans to succeed and
win elections moving forward. It
is really not that complicated.
They have to stop the infighting and focus on a few Basic America
and focus on a few basic America.
First make America great again
Reagan, conservative principles,
glitzy conservatives: what do we
believe?
We believe in freedom, liberty
and limited government, lower
taxes, less bureaucracy, so a
good business environment and we
can create jobs.
We believe in constitutionalist
on the bench judges
we believe in law order, we
believe in safety and security
and in every city, every town in
every neighborhood
parents should have school
choice all across the country.
We want our borders secure.
We want free and fair trade,
we believe in energy
independence, national security
reasons we like to pay lower
prices at the pump and less for
heating our homes.
We believe in the first
amendment, and yes, the
second amendment
we believe in the constitution.
We believe in peace through
strength with the meanest,
toughest most advanced military
equipment on the face of the
earth
and yeah freedom of fair trade,
that is it
im. A conservative peer that is
my agenda,
have not changed in thirty three years on
radio and twenty five years on Fox
and for the idiots of
Washington D, DOT c that want to
fight each other. If you stay
focused on that agenda, it is
not that complicated,
it is simple and you will win
and you will get power
all you need to do if you
promise it go fight for it
by the way, affordable
health care using free market
standards instead of Obamacare
by the way, not just for America.
First principle:
that is not what all of this is
about, but also this mirrors the
attacks from Democrats, the
media mob.
There are enough enemies in your
life
here with reaction, come of
course, this landmark
Supreme Court cases. United David
Basile was with us.
The American Union chairman,
Matt Schlapp, runs this mess in
Florida
im. Usually they are. I took a
year off.
I hope you dont mind and I hope
youre not mad at me,
but this is an important year
and I think this speech is
coming at a very pivotal moment,
especially now Mitch Mcconnell
Mitch Mcconnells comments
and the Democrat Seymour
divided.
The Democrats seem to be
coalescing together.
I think that is right. Sean-
and let me tell you, we are mad
that you are not here only
because we love it when you are
here,
but I have to say that doing a
great job of covering it.
It is an important moment, and I
think David would agree,
conservatives and Republicans
dont emote too much but more
like logical thinkers.
There was something emotional
about having your president get
silenced, get shut down and have
his twitter account and
everything shut down
the way the election ended. It
was really upsetting to these
people and really jarring to
see the socialist policy coming
at them every day.
In fact, the fact that the
president is going to come and
reconnect with the people that
love him so much on this stage,
I think, will be a very, very
important moment for healing
amongst conservative sight of
all of this, but I think for the
country generally ones voice
should be silenced and deftly
not a president of the
United States
im noticing HR one
the bill that the Democrats want.
They want to take the changes in
election law and bake them into
permanent status things we were
told specifically designed in
consideration for covid.
That would include overturning
the landmark decision of
citizens United Peer. That would
include fellows right to vote
peer that will include
automatic registration.
That would include no voter, I dot d
and no signature verification
standards whatsoever.
Now, if that happens, even
the New York Times, they had
said that would open the country
up to fraud and a lack of
confidence in our election
results.
Do you think that that will
happen? Next?
Is that the next issue to draw,
I hope, HR one is defeated.
I hope the left will pass it out
of the house, but I dont think
it will get through the Senate
Mitch Mcconnell. We have a lot
of disagreements over the years,
but he is unbelievably good on
free speech.
I think we will be able to
defeat this monstrosity,
but what it does Sean it will
continue to educate the american
people about how far left the
Democrat Party has lurched.
They do not know any boundaries
here. They are going to move this
country to the socialist agenda.
That is what Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris that they would do,
and that is what we see the left
demanding of Joe Biden,
and I think that we will see
that
we will benefit from it
look. This is a tremendous place
for a rebirth, for Donald Trump
and for conservatism and CPAC
has always been the leader and
relate the cathartic moment.
Postelection, we come together as
a movement and we move forward
as Matt was talking about.
We talk about the conservative
ideas that bring this all
together.
Donald Trump will bring in
energy to CPAC on Sunday.
I think it will be off the
charts
im excited to see it.
I can tell you how much
im expecting
surprises
real quick
II have no idea if the president
will make an announcement about
his plans come. I have no idea
what he is ultimately going to
decide to speak about, but I
would assume the president will
talk about. I told you so if
this agenda of Bidens is
radical and these are the
differences between the two
parties,
he will talk about the trouble
of media mob, big tech,
controlling creating this
candidate protection Program,
Matt, where Biden was hidden in
the basement, the whole time
you yeah wow. It is shocking
to think about, but I think what
he might talk about.
He might talk how he will get
revenge with a new social media
platform or new strategy when it
comes to the silencing of
conservative, focuses on
social media
or maybe helping those victims
of the cancel culture.
So he clearly will stay involved
in politics, and you know what
normally republican presidents
doing, including the last when I
revere
they tend to leave the stage.
Donald Trump is not leaving the
stage.
That is the greatest thing.
Hillary Clinton never left the
stage. Bill Clinton never left
the stage. Barack Obama did not
leave the stage and guess what
guys Donald Trump can stay on
the stage too.
Last word Dave. Bossi.
President Trump speech will
talk about the future.
Certainly he will talk about
what happened.
I think that is a very important
thing: cathartic leap for the
conserved fund movement to hear
from the president about it, but
you look at what we will be
able to do.
The left is going to move and
the Democrats will move so far
to the left over the next year
or two that one thousand nine hundred and ninety four it two thousand and ten all
over again.
We are going to see us begin to
take back the House and Senate
in twenty twenty. Two
Donald Trump will be the leader,
the political leader, the ideal
leader, the fund raising leader
for our party over the next.
