Org campaign2024. Cspan. Your unfiltered view of politics. Next, republican representative byron donalds, senator tuberville and Lieutenant Governor robinson address the gathering. This is just under an hour and 15 minutes. Let me hear you. [applause] i want to officially say, welcome to cpac 2024, where globalism goes to die. It is a great honor to have you all here and it will be incredible. We launched yesterday the first cpac international summit, where a number of continents and countries were represented. It was an amazing event. Let me say a couple of things. Be not afraid. We need courage now more than ever before. Amen. The left is trying to stop us full force using the leftist media, the propaganda machine, using legal remedies to try to take us down. They want you to feel isolated. We will not. We are a family. We are a community. We have come together because we are going to take this country back. I want to say, while you are here, you are instruments. God has put you here right now at this time to do this great work that needs to be done. To make sure that we stop this leftist agenda and make sure that we focus on building a strong, secure america. Because when america is strong the world is strong. Remember, communism and the leftists that have penetrated the Democratic Party are all about authoritarianism tactics. They are all about oppression. We stand for liberty. We stand for freedoms. And we stand for our families. Communism pushes the culture of death. We push the culture of life. Communism wants to dictate to you how you have to live, how you have to raise your children, indoctrinating your children. We stand for parents rights. What i tell you right now, our message to you is we get started, is that you all are assembled here in front of god to be the front line. To be the front line of this battle, and we will triumph. Over our enemies. Thats right. [applause] i think weve got to do better. Cpac is this wonderful, intimate place where we all come together. As you know, it will have a bigger impact on Politics Around the country and around the world than any other event. We have picked an audacious theme, where globalism goes to die. I think you need to stand up and let the u. N. , the w. H. O. , the World Economic forum to know what you think. Can you stand up and tell them why we think this is our time . This is our moment . [applause] the gentleman there who gave the middle finger salute, i think that is fine. That is good too. Keep standing up. There is an important thing going on in our country in which the whole world is watching. That is, there is a unique american who is being persecuted, who is being tortured, who is the victim of the democratic policies based on the worlds worst dictators. Whether it be putin or xi. The Democratic Party and joe biden are doing everything they can to collude, to use the deep state to put donald trump in prison. Can we send a loud feedback message to president donald j. Trump and his family that we stand foursquare with him . [cheering and applause] finally, we did two things at this cpac that are special and unique. The first thing is, if you call yourself a journalist, but you spend all of your time trying to destroy america and trying to destroy americans who love america, and trying to destroy conservatives and patriots and people from maga, and, yes, j6, if that is what you do, we dont want you here. You can buy a ticket and act like any other normal citizen. Number two, we got together 20 countries yesterday and our First International summit. For the first time in our 50 plus year history, we passed three important resolutions that all of these countries and our board of directors agreed with. Number one, we are calling out the election interference of joe biden. Calling it criminal, and calling on the authorities to stop it. Number two, we are calling out the w. H. O. And their attempt to take our national sovereignty, to take away our belief that the individual can govern him or herself, and we are calling on the people of the world who love freedom and those nations who have elected governments who love freedom to pull out of the w. H. O. , to defund the w. H. O. , to make it stop. [applause] finally, cpac stands foursquare with the people of israel. [applause] too many people in the media, the Democratic Party, joe biden are trying to pull us into a war in europe. No talk of peace deals. No talk of sitting down and resolving ageold conflicts. But at the same time, they demand the people of israel put up a white flag, make peace with the terrorists who are trying to destroy them. We will not put up with that. Cpac around the world stands with israel, and we will continue to call out the terrorists who mean to destroy them. [applause] in conclusion, how many of you are sometimes disappointed in our own party . [applause] i have to tell you, after doing all of these International Summits and cpacs, we are not alone. It is too often in these countries that the centerright party, in our case the Republican Party, loses its way or feels like its not the right time. One of the most important things you can do this weekend besides giving that boost to donald trump is to help give a spine and other things to the Republican Party to do the right thing. As we criticize our own team from time to time, why dont we also applaud our heroes . One of those heroes is going to join us now. Has nearly a perfect record in our cpac scorecard for his votes in congress. Is on the campaign trail every day for donald trump and does the right thing by all of us every day with that voting card in congress. It is my great honor to introduce congressman byron donalds. [applause] you stand here. Ladies and gentlemen, the conservative movement in america is alive and well. It is in part alive and well because of the tireless efforts of matt and mercedes schlapp. Give them a round of applause. Would you like us to leave now . Rep. Donalds yes, you have to go now. I have to talk to the people. Cpac, how is everything going . I have given a lot of speeches, but i have never given the opening speech. There is a lot of pressure appear. Something a lot of pressure up here. Something tells me youre going to get me through this. Are you going to help me . A lot of key things that are ailing us around the globe. The thing that is hurting us more then anything is that we are divided here at home. We are divided as americans. We are definitely divided within Political Parties and political movements. I dont know if you been paying attention to the house of representatives. We are divided there too. The thing that secures the vision is leadership. It is not governance. It is not going along to get along. It is not saying nice things. It is leadership that actually helps secure those divides. The time has come in america again for us to reassert ourselves and bring American Leadership back to the forefront of our country. [applause] we talk so much about Foreign Policy these days, and for good reason. Joe biden has been a disaster as president of the United States. He has been terrible. Lets look at nato for a moment. A lot has been made about nato over the last couple of weeks. There was a time when america did have to carry all the freight for nato, because the countries in europe were rebuilding themselves from world war ii. The spirit of the American People, we were there to do that. We were willing to do that. Now, the other countries have to come along for the ride as well. I equated to some of your great sports teams. Everyone remembers the Chicago Bulls of the 1980s. They had Michael Jordan and not much else. Michael jordan dropped to three points in the madison garden against the celtics but they lost that series against a better, deeper team. If the world is going to have security, then it cant just be america scoring all the points, grabbing all the rebounds, passing out all the assists, blocking all the shots. We need our allies in nato to step up and do their part. [applause] because, the one thing we all know, whether it has been sports, business, when you have a great team working together with a Common Mission and common goal, you can accomplish so much more than when you have the one great salesperson who is just leading the way and dragging everyone else along. The success of western democracy, the success of the western way of life is predicated on all the nations who love freedom and pursue freedom for their people to do the heavy lifting together. Not just relying on america to bear the burden alone. [applause] it was brought up by matt about israel. What happened on october 7 was a tragedy. Not just for the people of israel, but for the world. We were faced with a barbarism that we thought had mostly receded from the planet. They faced it head on. We in america stand with israel. We dont equivocate to the radicals who might be in our midst in america. We stand with them. For joe biden to decide that he is worried about his votes in michigan more than the safety of our greatest ally in the region is terrible leadership. Its part of the reason why our adversaries are on the move. My view is clear. Israel should obliterate hamas from the face of the earth. [applause] this is not a statement. This has to be borne in fact. On capitol hill, we have to do the job of making sure israel has everything they need to finish that job. You cant have someone come in your home, cause damage, and you do nothing. All you do is invite more of the same. If israel is our friend, and i know, cpac, israel is our friend, we stand by them, we support them, we do not stand in the way of them, and we want them to do everything they must do to secure themselves and secure the people of israel. [applause] now, we have to look at foreign in our hemisphere. The chinese are on the move in south america. While we are having these petty squabbles amongst republicans and democrats, the chinese have one mission. To put us in a box. We have to reassert our dominance in our own hemisphere. No more should we allow communism and fascism to breed in our own hemisphere while we just argue over the stupidest things with each other. Stuff that really just does not matter in the plight and success of human beings across the globe. There was a time when we focused on our hemisphere. I want to be clear, this is not a statement of isolationism versus being the worlds police. Its not that. Its being sober. Its being a realist. Its understanding that america in a dominant position across the globe means the best thing for the people of the world who desire freedom and peace, who want to actually grow an economy, who want their children to be raised up. A globe where china is dominant is to the detriment of human freedom. So, we have to do the things that are prudent to make sure that we assert those freedoms in our own hemisphere. There is another statement i want to make about Foreign Policy. I am not a forever more guy. Never have been. Im not. [applause] my position is very simple. Go, kill the enemy, and come home. [applause] i am a kid of the 1980s, so i like g. I. Joe. I just want our military to be g. I. Joe again. I think thats what most people want. Thats what i want. If youre going to secure america, you have to secure its borders. You have to. We have 7. 3 Million People who come into this country illegally. 7. 3 million. Joe biden wants to make it an even 10 million. Thats insane. No country would ever tolerate this. My position to my colleagues on capitol hill is clear. You either secure the border or you get no money for the government. [applause] the press would say, oh my gosh, congressman donald, youre talking about the government being closed. Are you concerned about that . To the people of the press, you got your answer from cpac. I tell these reporters when they asked me this, i say the federal government has one primary job. It is to secure this nation and secure its people. That is its first job. Before anything else. [applause] the states that ratified the constitution of the United States would have never, ever ratified a constitution that would have allowed the federal government to allow an invasion into the United States. They never would have signed it. Those states would have kept their militias and said we will see you guys later. Maybe we can work some things out, but that document is nuts and theres no way im going to be part of it. So, we have to be very clear about this. Joe biden has a decision to make. Decide, mr. President. Do you want a closed Mount Rushmore so the southern border could be open . Do you, joe biden, want to tell the last remaining of our world war ii vets that they cannot see the world war ii memorial on the National Mall so we can have militaryaged men from china and the middle east come into our country illegally . Decide, joe biden. Which country matters more to you . The border of the United States or the border of ukraine . [applause] [crowd chanting usa] i love when you chant, but you are messing up my time, cpac. I love it. I love you. Rep. Donalds i love you, too. We have to be serious. What is going on in detroit, denver, boston, we know whats going on in new york. You have the nypd officers. By the way the nypd officers are black, white, hispanic, men, women, and they are being beaten in the streets of their own city where they are charged to help protect the people of new york and they are being beat up by people who shouldnt be in the country in the first place. What kind of insanity is this . For my colleagues on capitol hill who are concerned about, well, byron, we dont win government shutdowns. There has never been an issue in this country that unites the people more. Securing our border and our nation is not a conservative position. It is not a liberal position. It is not a white position or black position, it is an american position and that is what everyone in our country wants to see happen, and they want to see it happen today. [applause] in our economy, we need leadership too. This nutty Green New Deal stuff, which, by the way, isnt even that green. It isnt that green. When you read the studies the solar panels are dirtier than natural gas. The Wind Turbines, there have been more men and women who have died from Wind Turbines than Nuclear Power. That is a fact. More people have died from maintaining Wind Turbines than Nuclear Power plants. When you have leadership that will tell the truth and set america on the path going forward. We shouldnt be chasing Green Technology just to chase read technology. Chase Green Technology. We should be chasing the most readily available form of energy so all our people can be successful. [applause] when they figured out how to do fracking, they tried to blame fracking and found out they were liars about claiming fracking. When we started using natural gas we realized we cut americas emissions in half over a decade and it still wasnt enough for the radical left, because it will never be good enough for the radical left. The only way you defeat them is you have to have leadership willing to stand up for them stand up to them at every point. We have that leadership in donald j. Trump. [applause] we have new things on the horizon. We have this great new technology called digital assets. I know some of you, a lot of you, myself included are concerned about that being used by the Federal Reserve and the treasury with the central digital bank coin. I dont want the federal anything like that. But if people decide, of their own free will, to have bitcoin or any other type of cryptocurrency, or any type of tokens or stable coins, if that is what a free people decide to do it is not the position of the American Government to stand in their way. It should be the position of the American Government to allow them to be free and make their own choices, because that is the essence of human liberty. That is the reason the framers wrote our constitution and ratified our constitution, to protect you, not to protect government. [applause] one of the biggest areas we are going to need a resurgence in American Leadership is our own government. These people are crazy. You have an fbi that has been spying on the American People against federal law. You have a department of justice that is picking and choosing who they are going to prosecute and when. Joe biden has violated the espionage act. He violated it as a United States senator. He violated it as a Vice President of the United States. And he should be prosecuted for violating the espionage act. [applause] i have a security clearance. If i take classified information out of the skiff do you think the democrats wouldnt prosecute me . Yes, they would. What you have to have his leadership who will stand for the rule of law, who will stand for lady justice. Lady justice is supposed to be blind, not political. Lady justice is supposed to be evenhanded, not deciding that a green deal is way more important than a basic rule of law that everyone can see and follow. Youve got this stupid judge in new york with the 400 million fine. What kind of craziness is this . By the way, you Business Owners in new york, come to florida. [applause] if you are a real estate guy in new york, you might want to come down to the sunshine state. We would love to have you. I had to do that quick plug for my state. I love my state, now. Make america florida. Rep. Donalds did you say make america florida . Oh, we are going to do that. I want to make o
