My name is john and i have the honor of being the executive director of the Ronald Reagan president ial foundation and the institute. Thank you all for coming this evening. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. Please be seated. I will start with the mayor. [applause] [applause] we have a great evening in the store for you. Before i introduced the special guest who will introduce the speaker tonight, i want to take a moment to think a handful of other people we have in the audience this evening who are representing some of americas finest. For those of you that might have arrived late, you might not have seen that our beautiful landscape and hilltop that we are on looks more like the moon than southern california. Many of the trees that surround us is now gone. You might have even spelled the difference in the air that acts as a reminder of wha what we wet through at the library just ten days ago. Indeed, the scene on october 30 was troubling. Literally surrounded by fire at the front gates and all of the hills that encircle us there were moments when the winds were so strong and flames were so high i thought there was a chance we might lose the national treasure. We were saved by heroes. [applause] we know them as First Responders and i had the chance to watch firsthand these magnificent people trying conditions, 50mile per hour winds. They turned back the flames threatening the library, air force one right next door, the graveside of president and mrs. Reagan and indeed this very auditorium. [applause] these men and women literally saved the day and in the process saved the Reagan Library. The commander joh commander johd speaking of heroes, nnovember r marks one year since the devastating shooting and tonight we have with us the widow of sergeant ron healy. If you all could stand, please stand. [applause] each of them represents the thousandsnt of First Responders, police, rescue workers and families who fought back. If you would now please join me and i want to introduce a special woman who will introduce the special speaker tonight. I have no doubt that shes known to just about everyone in the audience fors her role that involved her service as a prosecutor in San Francisco and la. Its no surprise that shes closely involved with President Trump and if the news stories are remotely correct if you could join me inpl welcoming to the stage mrs. Kimberly guilfoyle. [applause] how are you tonight . So many familiar faces near and inar and an incredible human being that you are going t your from him just moments. The first politician that made me feel so inspired was Ronald Reagan. Great promise and hope of america and the American Dream. Who would haved ever thought a young little girl growing up in california born and raised in the district in San Francisco, the proud daughter of a wonderful mother that hailed him a proud irishman who came from the southern part of the island and they met and fell in love in San Francisco and began living their American Dream. [applause] and i had the benefit of an incredible education and not a quality of opportunity in this wonderful country that we call america. One that i am proud to stand for, a flag that im proud to stand for, First Responders, military, law enforcement, a sense of new hope and beginning. A richness of blessings that we have all had the opportunity to have and be able to hand back on to the next generation and now to be able to be here at the Reagan Library is an incredibly powerful and humbling moment. [applause] [applause] Ronald Reagan and is an incredible president had no race or creed or color but saw human beings capable of intelligence of love and space a tremendous heart of liberty and a desire for freedom and for peace through strength and as her heart swells again with the opportunity to stand as Senior Advisor to the president of the united non of the United States donald j. Trump. [cheers and applause] this is the president i feel most embodies the true spirit that we all felt with Ronald Reagan and they feel alive in joy and hope because like Ronald Reagan donald j. Trump did not need the job the best things we can accomplish it doesnt matter if you dont matter who gets the credit that is the president is in the way the gradable one incredible family is about giving back to this country and fighting for each and every one of us. [applause] i have traveled across this incredible amazing country that we call america the United States of america because more unites us than divides us and President Trump and for the forgotten man and women who fights by my side how beautiful how he was in 2016 to fight for this country and to fight for his father like Ronald Reagan his family and incredibly exceptionalhi human being is on the sidelines and everything is at stake. S [applause] you get involved and put skin in the game and fight for what you believe in it for future generations and my father and my brother and i am reminded every single day for our freedoms and liberties in the First Amendment and the second amendment. [applause] for all the things men and women have five and died to preserve and protect our freedom. End di and for the free market thank god for the free market and capitalism to produce an incredible American Family that understands the value to restore the value of the american dollar because our economy that has lifted everyone up. For asianamericans and veterans and women doing better than ever before under President Trump. [applause] 47 percent of all new businesses in the United States created by hardworking people of color. Thatse why President Trump and this family we thank them for what they have been able to accomplish. And a family that really asks for nothing in return and they take it every single day incoming. Heavy c130 as i call it. Nothing stops them. Nothing slows them down. Because they believe it such privilege to be a free american and fight for this country to fight for each and every one of us. And then to understand the hardworking people across country no better than donald trump junior. Han let me tell you some of the best moments away are those weather in iowa on a pull out bad or anywhere across this country and it is inspirational to see the connectivity and how people are transformed together fighting for one passion and one person. This book is incredible to share all of these moments the highs and lows in the incredible journey through political history. That is the tip of the Sphere Program so happy to be here tonight one of the family and the president and this incredible country because this is everything we all have together to fight for and thank you for honoring them and for supporting them and buying his book and being in the fight with us every step of the way. It gives me great pleasure and great pride to introduce to you someone that i have known dearly for 14 years. My best friend and champion , and a Great American thanks to the trump family america will never be a socialist country. [cheers and applause] donald trump junior. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] wow. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Wow. That is such a better welcome then we got on the view the other day. Ch [laughter] [cheers and applause] i had a little fun with the guys doing the book signing the men come early big ruggede men i saw you on the view. [laughter]r] what the hell were you doing watching the view . It was just the highlights. And wasnt actually watching the view. [laughter] but it is great to be here. Kimberly thank you so much for the incredible introduction. I always get in trouble for saying this but everyone make note she kissed me and not the other way around. We have to have a little fun. Right . [applause] if the left had their way we could never have fun again. I cannot allow that. Kimberly thank you for the incredible introduction is always difficult to follow kimberly paraguay dont like to do it f t because she is so good and wants and much more beautiful than i am. Its always tough to follow that because she can do it all. She can also go for the kill. But she does it so well you come back for more. [laughter] im a one trick pony if you need a sledgehammer im your guy. So thank you so much for having us here it is truly an honor. Ronald reagan was one of the true inspirations of my life. One of the real people that push me toward conservative is and what he did and was able to accomplish in his presidency is a legacy that few would ever live up to. Thank you for having me here its an honor to be back the last time i was here it was during the second president ial debate and by then my father was in the middle. [laughter] and jeb. [laughter] and kimberly the princess voice of reason said this is going to go big. She says no. She said already . I remember seeing that. Was my father. He took a pretty aggressive position in the opening debate you saw immediately the next day jeb was running a commercial. Ow[laughter] i said its over. Head. So jeb came to that debate and through barb and my father had a different response and said jeb thats great. You brought some energy thisic time. Thats good brick i thought oh my god its like a man talking to a little child it was over and we all saw it. I remember when you were here. It was a g different form of president ial debate. [laughter] it is great to be back here and as kimberlyim said the last two years have been such an incredible roller coaster of emotions of experiences that one could only hope to go through. Maybe not the bad side i got to go all over the country and watch political history unfold probably the greatest upset in political history. Im not just saying that. [cheers and applause] not because it should have been but because the deck was stacke stacked. So i got to go around Middle America the places that had been forgotten for so long. It was interesting for me i have this william and mary thing in 2019 i recognized him a son of a billionaire from new york city and unlikely conservative. Im not supposed to be too conservative i went to an ivy leagueed school i spent a lot of time with charlie kirk. Sp[applause] truly the leader of the Young Conservative Movement goes around college and High School Campuses getting children before they are totally indoctrinated of the left these days. [applause] i met charlie on the trail early 2016 and a friend said youve got to meet this guy. I said give me a little about him he knows more than youll ever know he knows everything. Hes 22 years old. I said get out of my office. [laughter] seriously. We have no idea what we are doing here. The last thing i need is more people have no idea. We have a goodd message we have a good messenger my friend was rather convincing. Give him five minutes forgot the end of the five minutes they said congratulations you are on my team is good travel the country. Hes the reason i was speaking at College Campuses in michigan, wisconsin. [applause] the other side together didnt even go to and took for granted. The last month of 2016 we probably spent 14 out of 30 days in michigan and wisconsin against all odds and against all the experts. [laughter] you know where im going with this. Experts in name only experts that call themselves experts for decades they have been right in the same amount of time that we did that. When the results came in it was incredible. But for me i actually traveled the middle of the country. You didnt think that would resonate my hobby is hunting and fishing in the great outdoors. Going into the heartland of america. The iowa caucuses. There in their brandnew hunting gear and they talk about the iowa when they met seven minutes earlier. [laughter] Everybody Knows what im talking about. The most beautiful hunting gear of ever seeing like its never been worn. But that was a photo op and i bet so it was a different experience but the one thing that we have noticed in my father noticed people understand and they get genuine. Because i actually did those things it wasnt just a photo o op, they got it. It was interesting we did this hunt in iowa during the primaries and i was giving a speech about the outdoors how it was part of my life and got me out of the city. I wasnt always an angel but it couldve been worse. The outdoors was such a big part of my life im giving a speech in iowa than the New York Times asks how are you different than the other people here . I said thats a good question. How many birds did you see go up today . She said nine. How many shots did i take . She said nine is at how many birds are in my bag . Nine. No further questions. La[laughter] but again it wasnt just on that basis but i wrote the book because after that experience with the great and the not so great, i had an interesting life i am in the unlikely conservative. I had a mother who escaped communist czechoslovakia. And perhaps this is why for me is such an honor to be here at the Reagan Library. That guy that actually took down the soviet union. [applause] because for me, unlike those on the left today that espouses the incredible virtue it is no longer a fringe element. They are out there mainstream pop culture today. I have actually experienced it myself brick i have beeneni there. I had a grandfather who was a bluecollar electrician from czechoslovakia. And he saw the incredible blessings we had in this country and the freedoms that we had all the things we should be so proud of. He told my parents your kids are incredibly blessed but they have to see the other side. They were very involved in my life from the age of b five i went over there with him every summer between four and six weeks. I waited in the bread lines per i can show you its not so glamorous when youre actually doing it. Have a 93 old grandmother who is still alive. And she is still over there and spend time with us here every year and i get the call every few weeks. She only has cnn and leftist Propaganda Networks there is no alternative programming. So again this is a woman tougher than most of us. Maybe not as much as our First Responders by the way thank you for being here to protect this. [applause] but a woman who spent her early twenties in the basement of her farmhouse hiding from the nazis they lived through communist occupation for approximately 40 years i found it ironic to say he speak check f fluently. Yous the connection have read your history . [laughter] they will try anything. But this lady has been through a lot calls me every few weeks in tears because she sees these virtues espoused is so wonderful. We are speaking check but i will do the best grandma imitation you dont understand it always sounds so good everything is free it never works that way. I hear her voice break this person who was such a big part of raising me who i love so much and went through so much then to watch her daughter live the American Dream and she is in tears for fear of her greatgrandchildren. Doesnt that tell us all we need to know . So when i see these virtues brought up in the mainstream political conversations, its the other side. Its interesting there are no people who have actually lived under those systems who are willing to come here to say we have to bring that its wonderful and great. How many people are there from soviet bloc Eastern Europe cracks the former soviet union . Bring it closer to home. Venezuela . Cuba . Millions and millions of people and not one. The democrats will say anything stupid. Just look at their base. [laughter] [applause] they say some really dumb stuff and they cannot find one person who has lived under thoseon systems . Doesnt that tell us all we need to know . That was the genesis of the book triggered. For those of you who watched the view you can understand why we named it that. [laughter] [applause] because today it is just the view. The only one and if you dont share that one view, its over. You are canceled. I use that example in the book Martina Navratilova an incredible tennis player. We knew her growing up same story is a mother from julissa macchia and a lesbian lgbt activist for 35 years before it was cool. She came out a few weeks ago i dont believe the notion that trans men turning into women and then competing this was her opinion. [applause] i applauded that i dont care what you do identify as you want it makes no difference to me but when youi start going against her i saw on and enough fighter who was a male professional fire fighter transition to female then proceeded to fight and broke the orbital bone and the skull lid weightlifting records being destroyed in Bicycle World records decimated and i say where are the feminist . Where are the reasonable people that fought for title and womens rights . One is already an incredible athlete where do we ever draw the line . So martina came out and said i am against this notion. We have to separate at least the elite sports and within minutes it was over she was attacked by though she advocated for over 40 years. It was as though anything she had done prior for her entire life and her lifes work was meaningless. Because she didnt take it as far as it needed to be taken. Again those goalpost are never ending. They are always moving. Remember wouk this is the new ridiculous phrase what is wouk today altered right in one week. [laughter] it never ends. So the woman who has done all this comes out an
