What you are talking about, willis. Please welcome the chairman of the u. S. House committee, jim jordan and cpac chairman matt schlab. Hey guys. I get to ask chairman jim jordan questions. Hes usually the one. Lets start off with whats on a lot of peoples minds. Does he not understand we can still be friends . But the love is over . Does nikki haley not get what we are saying . [laughter] i didnt know that was going to be a question. President trump will be our nominee and i think he will win. He is the one per person in my lifetime who did more of what he said he would do than any president have ever seen. I love the line we talk about the weapon they sent government but look at President Trump and the escalation that the left and the government have taken going after this guy. It started with his campaign and it was the muller investigation and then impeachment and then a raid on his home and then it the 14th amendment. He has two state cases and two federal cases and all the indictments, its gotten ridiculous but he has a great line he says they are coming after me because inviting for you and that is so true. Thats why i appreciate President Trump. Lets get behind President Trump. [applause] he actually changed it. When we were in iowa, we had this nice rally which was 20 degrees but he change the line and said they are coming after my freedom because im fighting for yours. I told him i said i like that even better because it is so true and so accurate, what we see with the federal government and these agencies are what they are doing to we the people and he is fighting for us. Lets get behind him and make sure he wins in november. Im not sure of Jimmy Kimmel Live understood what the title of this conversation is. What are you talking about, willis . Did she get back to you today . Not yet. Is she supposed to get back to you today . Did you hear from her boyfriend . [laughter] i said, fani willis and nathan wade. We havent heard back from her yet we will see what we get from her but there is a whistleblower in her office who we have talked to on her committee staff. [applause] the whistleblower i think she is like four foot 11 but Bonnie Willis had Police Escort her out when she fired his lady because this lady raise the concern that ms. Willis was not spending federal funds, not following the rules of the grant dollars in the appropriate manner. She raised this concern and is now talking with our office. We will see where that goes and thats why we subpoenaed for records and documents related to this. We will see what we get. She was also interesting. Instead of accepting service on the subpoena, she met us at the u. S. Marshals. We had correspondence back and forth and she made the u. S. Marshals take the subpoena there. Go figure, this is fani willis and we also her at it and we also her attitude on display. I thought it was a skit but an act we was reallife. It was real. We sent out a tweet that said we didnt invite fani willis to cpac but there is a bonnie sandwich with a chaser of grey goose vodka. If you have enough cash in your pocket. The comedy routine from this coming out today, thats awesome. [laughter] its been a long year. We appreciate what you do them we appreciate what cpac is meant for conservative principles for a long, long time. [applause] thanks a lot. You are a hero to a lot of us for a lot of reasons. You have 100 rating in our scorecard, youve had positions of importance and big titles and you always do the right thing and you always vote right. How come you dont wander off and get potomac fever like everone else gets . Because youre not a senator . Because there is lots of good senators. I appreciate that. I say this all the time, i think we make the job too complicated. Youre in Public Office and its really your objective which is basic. What did you tell the voters you were going to do when you ran for the office . If they elect you, do what you said. Go fight for the things you told them. Thats how this compact works between the elected officials and the people we get the privilege of representing. I try to remember that when i think about the people in North Central ohio in the fourth district. Anybody here from ohio . There we go. The room is pretty full. I wonder why. I think you are like. D. Mercy and i work for President Trump and the white house and we worked in the Bush White House which is another story to the white House Counsel is one of the most important jobs in that white house. Whenever you are the white House Counsel come if you work for a republican, everyone knows who you are in their stories constantly about the legal turmoil about every republican president. I dont know what people realize that joe biden has white House Counsel and his premuch anonymous. Ive never read stories about him and im reading that his office is coordinating a meeting with fani willis, her then boyfriend, meeting with the folks going after trump and President Trump in new york. Shouldnt we know who this is and why is he getting away with what i view as an american citizen . It looks like theres a lot of coordination from the white house on running cover on hunter biden and Biden Incorporated in the attack and the persecution President Trump. Nathan wade is supposedly in contact with the white House Counsels office on the white house and the Justice Department and january 6 committee. Shouldnt they be running an independent investigation . You would think. Im sure hes entitled to that information but we want to know how this has played out when you think about they are going after their political opponent that started clear back in 15 and 16 when they started to finalize the campaign. Based on a confidential human source, nothing seems to happen to Christopher Steele. Now we have this human source that Christopher Wray filled out this form. He said we cant give you the 1023 form. Hes been a 14 year informant and we paid him. They arrest the guy twice. Maybe the guy did live. Its quite a contrast for Christopher Steele giving false information about President Trump and he continues to get paid. This mr. Smirnov can give false information and he gets arrested. I might be slow on the go but i dont think i will fall for the next russian collusion without proof. 2016, it was trump and muller told us that didnt happen. In 2020, it was the laptop of russian information. It turned out to be baloney and here we go again come around three. Maybe its a case but is still seems strange to me. What will happen with hunter . He will testify next week in our deposition. We will have some questions for him. We continue to dig into our work. One thing i would say for sure is there are four facts that will never change. Fact number one, hunter biden gets put on the board he gets paid 1 million per year. The is an energy expert, you have to give them that. He has a lot of energy. Fact number two, hes not qualified. He said so himself in an interview with abc news. Fact number three, hunter biden meeting with the ceos of burisma, they asked him can you weigh in and help relieve the pressure we are under from the prosecutor in ukraine . He calls d. C. And his father according to his business partner. Fact number four, after that phone call, joe biden go to ukraine and conditions the release of our tax dollars, your tax dollars on the firing of that prosecutor. Those four facts, joe biden reg about the last thing. Those four facts go against what the state Department Said they needed to happen. They sent a letter to the press care is saying youre a good job. They sent in inner Agency Policy committee that ukraine is one billion thousand joe biden changed it. Could it have been the phone call from his son . Joe biden gets his guy fired and applied pressure to the company that higher that hunter biden sits on the board of making 1 million per year. Thats not how things should operate but those facts are fundamental. Despite what the democrats say, those facts dont change. I want to go back to the previous question. The white House Counsel is ed siskel. Im not accusing him of doing anything wrong but i think there is a lot of wrongdoing associated with the attempt to imprison joe bidens general election opponent. I think we ought to know who the man is. I think he should answer some questions. I want to know why the Biden Administration and the Biden White House doesnt recuse itself from questions concerning their own campaign. It seems like a very basic thing. I think the people of cpac, lets start acting questions, do you agree . [applause] you have all these victims, you went back through russia gate, russian collusion, what went on during the 2016 campaign. Mercy and i know this, weve had a lot of calls over the last several years from dear friends who are quietly bankrupted and quietly investigated, quietly having their lives destroyed, quietly having their professional lives destroyed. Its all because they want to wear a red hat. Thats the reason. I have an interesting question for you to consider. Until all those people get their legal fees back answering basic questions, until these victims, thesej6 victims in the crowd on until they are made whole financially by our government wronged them and by the doj in particular, what the wrongdoing keep going on and on . There is some positives. We focused on the weaponization of these agencies that are supposed to serve the people that have been turned against us. Is more than one or two . Right, there has been some positives. We pointed out a year or so ago that Homeland Security has set up the disinformation governance board. They tell you what you are allowed to say and what you are not allowed to say. They were attempting to do this and we made such a big issue of this and can serve as around the country helps to get rid of that board. Sometimes bite drawing attention to the ridiculous things, you can make a difference. The irs announced they would no longer be making unannounced visits to american citizens homes. Thats a good thing. The commissioner at the irs said we are doing this because we are concerned about the safety of our agents. Baloney. [laughter] they are doing it because we caught them knocking on matt tai bis door when he was testifying on the weaponization of government. Hes testifying and democrats are asking him to reveal his sources. They are attacking his Free Press Rights and he explaining why you cant do that and he didnt have to divulge his sources. It turned out they owed him money it wasnt the other way around. Sometimes, just by highlighting these things, you can have an impact. We just have to keep it up. We will also be focused on legislation particular where the government is involved in censoring american speech. You have a cause of action. We have legislation that mr. Bishop and ms. Hagan will introduce in the District Committee we think will help address the situation. That is the most important thing. All this other crazy stuff, we can recover from it all but if they take away our First Amendment rights we have five rights of the First Amendment, your right to practice your faith, right to assemble, right to petition your government, free press, freespeech speech, all critical important. But the most important is your right to talk. If you cant speak, you cant practice your faith or share your faith or petition your government and you dont have a free press. That is what they are going after so we are really focused on that more than anything else. [applause] god bless you for that. Back when i had a little more brown hair. I worked on the hill. President clinton and hillary, she corruptly fired the travel office because you didnt like what they were doing. The republican majority came back and made those people whole , they gave him a vector pensions and help them with their legal fees. What cpac would like to be his partner with good guys like you to make sure that there is not worth spending the doj has a slush over there and they dont always go to good causes. We should have more funds at the og it doj. If United States uses every penny of your savings and you have to hire these expensive lawyers and you get down to the end, i think you deserve to be made whole. Well said. [applause] finally, lets talk about the First Amendment freedoms. Freedom of the press is not the first one, sorry guys in the back. They always things the first one but it is important. What is going on . We are trying to dig into this. What happened here looks really wrong in my judgment. They have grabbed everything. This is her sources, or information. It does not happen when you are talking about cbs fired catherine heritage who has done an amazing job shes an amazing journalist and a fair journalist. [applause] they grabbed her stuff. They literally grabbed her stuff. This further encroachment by folks on the left which no unfortunately controls the Democratic Party is an encroachment on First Amendment rights. Think back to covid. They told americans, governors and mayors told americans you cant go to Church Sunday in america . Think about that. The government closed down the church . Its crazy. I gave his feet to the new Mexico Republican party in amarillo, texas because their liberal democrat governor wouldnt let them assemble in their own state so they had to go to texas to get the freedom to assemble. On and on it goes. I think a lot of them ended up staying because it was a better place. May be. Its scary whats happening to catherine. You know what great reporting she done over the years. What cbs has done doesnt make sense and is something we will dig into. I think the biggest problem we have despite all the policy and constitutional crises and everything else, the biggest problem we have is our own hearts. A lot of people are giving up. They say weve lost so much ground and we lost the constitution and they cheat in elections, its too late. We believe at cpac, one of our biggest job is to wake up those people and make them understand that november is the fight for the future of america. What is your inspirational message to those folks who might have given up . The left controls big media and big tech and big corporations and big sports and academia in hollywood and the bureaucracy. It now controls United States senate and the white house but the left doesnt control we the people. [applause] that is always what this country is about. Thats why you guys are here. We remember that and remember there is a guy at the top of the ticket you mean a really big guy . I mean President Trump will be at the top of the ticket who cares about the First Amendment and cares about this great country and is as positive as you can be in spite of everything thats happened to him. Ive gotten a chance to know this guy and he is such an amazing guy who loves his country, loves regular people like folks in his room and is willing to go fight for us because he cares about the greatest nation ever. Are we going to win . We are. Thats a great way to end it. Thank you, jim jordan. Thank you all, god bless. [applause] ladies and gentlemen, who is the white House Counsel . Welcome from florida, congresswoman kat commack and katie pavlich. All right. Weve got a busy friday a busy friday afternoon on her hands. Thank you for joining us here at cpac. Im with the wonderful congresswoman kat ca mmack. Rep. Commack absolutely. This is great. Katie one year ago we were here in the same place on the same stage and you were Getting Started with your work on the subcommittee for the weaponization of the federal government in the house. I wanted to make sure we gave the audience an update on the work you have been doing over the past year, because the weaponization of the federal government is an assault on Constitutional Rights. Maybe give an overview of what you are doing. Rep. Commack how many people here feel the government has gotten way too big . [applause] ok. How many people feel the government has abused its powers against everyday american citizens . [applause] yeah. There is pretty much general consensus theres a problem happening in the country where these unelected, nameless, faceless bureaucrats think they all of a sudden have the power to take on everyday american citizens and strip them of their Constitutional Rights. For the last year under the leadership of chairman jim jordan wasnt he great . We have been tackling all the various aspects of weaponization of the federal government. Everything from the ukrainian intelligence service, which is directing the fbi to take down your social media posts, or a bank giving up your Financial Information to the fbi to search for key terms that would indicate you are a radical individual. For example, if you shop at bass pro or cabelas. That make me a radical. That is the type of work we have been undertaking. One of the areas that has really emerged is this is between ai and censorship. This is where we dig into the industrial censorship complex. That is one way to really encapsulate the work we have done, really defining and digging into this new era of the Industrial Complex were Big Government and big tech work han
