I said to the president , thanks for warming up the crowd for me. [laughter] hes from queens, im from brooklyn. We talk like that. I used to follow Ronald Reagan. I guess i can follow donald trump. I am proud to be here. I want to fill in a couple of blanks that would be an affectation to take you off on another topic. Let me comment on what our president said and some of the things he has said and done. First of all, i love the digressions of the president. Used to say ofrt her husband. , felix makes two mistakes when he speaks. First of her husband, felix makes two mistakes when he speaks. First he digresses from his topics, second he returns to the. To them. [laughter] i love when he goes off script. He is the authentic queens guy. Anyway, it is great. The times are changing. Get out your bob dylan. The times they are changing. Dont stand in the doorway. Dont block up the halls, members of congress, because the times are changing. Lets change them. It is great to see the inner he and the energy and vigor of our president. The president and the first lady visiting texas and florida and puerto rico in las vegas, i remember a book i read when i was in School Called the lord, written by an italian theologian. He said god hears every suffering, the suffering of every creature in the world. If we could hear the suffering of every creature in the world it would overwhelm us. It would kill us. I never forgot that passage. It occurred to me that as the president and mrs. Trump went to florida, texas, las vegas, puerto rico, they heard a good chunk of the suffering of the world, didnt they . And they saw a good chunk of the suffering of the world. And you know that that moved them and affected them. I cannot stand these critics and cynics who criticized the president for his efforts on behalf of the people there. It is just ridiculous. [applause] they say, well what about throwing paper towels . I said, that is what he does. That is the queens guy. Understand . Thats how we show affection to somebody. We throw something at them. This ridiculous business on puerto rico that cnn is obsessed with now i watch cnn so you dont have to. [laughter] that the people cant be there forever, First Responders can be there forever, lets parse that sentence. First responders cant be there forever. A kind of makes sense, doesnt it . But remember, before this horrible storm, there was a little bit of a problem in puerto rico and its credit. What the president once to make sure is that while supplying all of this help and assistance come up assistance, that it does not think of itself as a total dependent of the federal government, because that would be wrong and a mistake. Great example, florida and texas. They do not regard themselves. Those two governors are not federal dependence. Neither should puerto rico. They need all the help we can give them, and we are giving it to them, and the baby to clean up their own act fiscally and financially and then they need to clean up their own act fiscally and financially. [applause] at the same time that the president and first lady were hearing these tales and seeing these folks, they have undergone the most unprecedented media assault in american history. I know something about media assault in american history. I got some. My friend gary bauer got some. We got some together. Dan quayle got some. The bushes got some. Never has it been like this. Never has it been so onesided. So speak up for him. [applause] harvard study of the medias coverage of trumps first 100 days found that cnn and nbcs coverage of trump was 93 negative. And that was from harvard, so it is probably worse. They are probably trying to soften the message. If you must the tv shows other than fox and i think that is really true you would have no idea how many things the president has already accomplished. Let me go through a few and comment. I want to start with a symbolic one, the National Football league. As a patron of football former player, semipro player for one game in mississippi anyway. [laughter] as a patriot, the president has won on this issue. He has just won. [applause] jerry jones is having all of his players stand. The commissioners singing this tune as well, that is a good thing. The president knows and has stated what you all know and believe, we stand for the anthem, we kneel before god. [applause] but whatever you might want to say about these players who are kneeling, who are protesting, i think i have a little inside information i will share with the president. A lot of them dont know any better. They just dont know any better. They are alien to themselves in a culture and a country they do not understand. Who has ever told them that america is the last best hope on earth . Who has ever told them about the sacrifices at gettysburg or yorktown . Who has ever told them about the , the raising of that flag . I dont think they have been taught. I know they havent been taught it. I have been in the schools. How many of our problems go back to that . [applause] plato said to fundamental questions in society, who gets to teach the children, and what do they teach them . That still remains the question. I will take this audience teaching my children, thank you, rather than many others. Through. A lot to get i want to get through it. I will tell you about a study you probably havent heard. Take American Students 13 and 14 years old asked this is a big study done it in california whose parents were born in another country who were asked to read what they are nationally, these 13 and 14yearold said they were americans. When they finished high school, the majority of them identified themselves as hyphenated americans. The purpose of the public schools, the original purpose, to turn us into one people, has been flipped upside down. Now it is not the melting pot, but vocalization that is taught but all commiseration but vulcanization taught. It is identity politics of the democrat party, and it is an amazing fact we have to address. During the i thought campaign, when i was losing friends fast and furious on my side, bill you wrote the book of virtues, how can you support this man . I said, i have the feeling he is a sinner. [laughter] and i know youre not. [laughter] and i know im not, i wrote the book of virtues, after all. [laughter] i have to explain it to people all the time. This was not written out of strength. It was written out of need, out of aspiration. I remember telling people, if of no other reason the kind people this president will appoint to the Supreme Court in philosophy we talk about necessary and sufficient conditions. If you think he is going to appoint a real conservative to the Supreme Court, that is a sufficient condition of voting for him for president of the United States. [applause] especially compared to what we would have gotten on the other team. Boo. Right. He did warm you up for me. Thank you very much. So silly. Anyway am a to Say Something about Foreign Policy. I just want to anyway, i want to say coming up Foreign Policy. He said he is going to destroy isis. Do know something . He is destroying isis. [applause] this you will not get in the nose. In the news. He has done more damage in the last eight months than obama did in eight years. He and general mattis and ive got to tell you, as a marine father, very proud to have all these marines surrounding the president just because they have certain security. I think that is good. How about general kelly yesterday holding his first press conference, and the press guy said, what are the president s main problems . He said, you, first of all. [laughter] [applause] consider these words from a former highranking cia official. The isis reign of terror is about to end. It is about to lose its stronghold in raqqa, syria as it lost it in iraq. The caliphates days are truly numbered. James mattis said we will annihilate isis. We are doing it. Read the New York Times, and they dont say that often. Read the story on the continuing surrender of isis prisoners. They are coming with tails between their legs. Most of them when they are interrogated said they just signed up, dont know anything about the headings or anything like that. You are never all the nazis who fought on the russian front. That was the excuse. Remember as the First Response below the of government, the safety and security of its citizens. He understood the threat of isis. He is dealing with it. That caliphate and the promise of that caliphate is coming to an end, another sufficient condition for a successful president. [applause] things two other things. The president will later talk about the iran deal. I am so glad he is addressing that. Socalled sophisticated transnational liberals mocked the president when he suggested that other members of nato pay their fair share. What has happened . They are paying their fair share, a number of them. [applause] he took us out of paris, or at least the paris accords, and that was a great accomplishment. [applause] a clear signal to north korea about what will be tolerated and whatnot. As to the economy, i remember reading some of these brilliant economist at couple years ago saying the days of 3 or 4 growth are over. The economy is growing at 3 right now. We keep setting alltime highs. And something you may not know, the people who are benefiting the most from this improvement in the economy are the trump supporters, the workers, the people who get paid by the hour, the people who work on our infrastructure, and that is a just reward for them. [applause] he campaigned on a travel ban, and tuesday the Supreme Court upheld him 81. [applause] seems like a long time ago, but rumor the first few days the president approved the Keystone Pipeline and the code access pipeline . He has rolled and the code access pipeline . He has rolled back the epa war and the war on coal. [applause] he has given people in oil country and the energy part of our country great encouragement and confidence about the future. He hasnt yet guaranteed that a member of the big 12 will make it to the college playoffs, which i wish would happen. [laughter] just divided the audience. Texasoklahoma tomorrow folks. I will watch the game for you. Appointed, in my view, the most conservative cabinet and list of agency heads i have ever seen. [applause] it. Ow something about i was in reagans cabinet. That was a pretty conservative cabinet. This is a more conservative cabinet. [applause] that is kind of a stunning thing since Ronald Reagan is our guiding light. Shows he chose a secretary of education, my friend betsy devos, who is fighting to empower parents. [applause] betsy spoke at one of my alma maters a few weeks ago, and students interrupted her speech calling for a white supremacist. Because they know what democrat politics have done to minority students over the years. Kept them trapped in failing schools. She also said, i am a believer in choice. She got booed. She said, didnt you all make a choice to go to harvard . Interesting question. Yeah. And were you being antipublic education when you chose to go to a private school like harvard . Good for betsy. Good question. [applause] acosta is leading a quiet but very effective revolution at the department of labor. He is a very able man. Pay attention to him. Cabinet, important conservatives like the man i met other day, as you high understands Rural America. If you look at it demographically, Rural America is becoming the new innercity. We know where barack obama wanted money support to go. Rural america is suffering. It is suffering educationally, suffering from this horrible opioid epidemic, suffering from all sorts of things. This administration understands the problems of Rural America. Im delighted to see this gentleman at the fcc. Want to put in a plug for him. He understands it as well. Maybe you havent noticed, but there is great happiness and jubilation in the medical Research Community at the appointed of Scott Gottlieb at the fda. I notice doesnt normally get into our view, but this is a guy who believes that good drugs that looks very promising that show up in research should be approved and made available to the American People as soon as possible. [applause] we now have an administrator fda who is friendly, sound, and important in delivering the goods to the American People. I have to say my two favorite Little Things being an inside the beltway guy, he skipped the white house correspondents dinner, god love him. [applause] and the gridiron dinner. He doesnt need them, and he doesnt want them. [applause] he doesnt care about their approval. Is not afraid of the New York TimesEditorial Board or hollywood. Member hollywood . Remember hollywood . Going down. [applause] i mean to say, it has been down, and now everybody is getting a good look at. That is what i mean. Nor does he fear these latenight comedians who, worst of all, are not funny. [applause] language, i of the like the knee alleges and the the terms the president has given us like drain the swamp. Heree way, when our leader at the Research Council came out this morning, i thought him backstage, i said, are the robertsons not showing . [laughter] are you trying to pose as one of the robertson kids . He said no. Drain the swamp, fake news. It is out there. And it is real. Crooked you know the rest. Rocket man. I love that one. [laughter] but best of all, and most encouraging of all, make America Great again. [applause] done, andork to be these accomplishments are real and it must be accompanied by real and substantial legislative achievements. What a Republican Congress and president can do must be shown to the American People. Lets get this tax thing through. Let us get it through. It is so important. So these, among other things, i believe are real accomplishments. Significant accomplishments. Fans know my nevertrumper in my rolodex got thinner. I say, what more do you need to know . They say, what about the tweets . What about the past . What about the profanities and vulgarities . To which i say, the president has always had the gift of always being himself. What we get is real. He does not go to us counterfeitly. [applause] when you see the president , you see him in fullness. We are conscious of his history. We are conscious of his future. As oscar wilde said come in just as every sinner has a future said, just as every sinner is the future, everything has a saint hasevery a past. [applause] great the president s current themes and you see this when he is speaking off most recently and i remind you this in the form of a question, did you ever recall seeing barack obama give a speech and the speech being interrupted a third of the way through, halfway through, or at the end with the crowd shouting usa . Never. That is what they do now. The answer is no. The president is making America Great again. Lets help him. Lets continue the work that has just begun. Let us support the president and the good works he intends to do for us and our children. Thank you very much. [applause] thank you. Thank you. I won a 20 bet from him. I bet him 20 that he could not spell the word hillary without liar, and i won. Of hert guest, because outspoken conservative values, was the number one target of nancy pelosi and the democrats during her highly effective years in the house of representatives, where she also served as the chair for the congressional chief party caucus. Family Research Council is proud to have her on our board of directors. Ladies and gentlemen, would you please welcome a true warrior for your values, michele bachmann. [applause] ms. Bachmann hello everybody. Good morning. Dont you love our president . We are thrilled and thank for all the work that happened, all our speakers have been fantastic the morning. Kellyanne conway will be our next one on stage. We have one rocking day to deal with. In my little time i had here with you today, what i want to do is talk a little bit about how we got to the point of being here at this moment feeling so good about the results that happened. A very specific group of americans gave donald j. Trump this victory so that he could be our president of the United States. Witht you to know that these eyeballs, i am looking at the reason why he is president of the United States. You. You. [applause] heard of the famous pollster george barna. Barnum. George victory,s historic they couldnt believe that their champion Hillary Clinton, of all people, wouldnt win the presidency. Well after this happened, this huge, unbelievable event which many of us believers in jesus christ attributed to the prayers of people on the knees for weeks and days ahead of time, calling out to the father of life to hear our prayer, we knew what was at stake, and he answered us and has given us a reprieve in our nation. But to look at the metrics, the famous pollster looked at all of you and asked people across america, how did donald j. Trump actually get this victory . And this is it. He found the 20 million americans that are spiritually active, government engaged people. 20 million. That is 9 of the american public. No person could win the presidency of the United States with just this cohort, but a republican cannot win the presidency of the United States without this cohort. It is the most consequential voting block in america. Block, they took a look at Hillary Clinton donald j. Trump and let me tell you how fervent they
