"street justice" straight from cpac. but first my opening statement. the woman is even dumber than i thought. it must be because she has nothing else to do. this week my favorite ex-politician hillary clinton put out this tweet. quote, i say this as a former secretary of state and as an american. the russians are still coming. our intelligence professionals are imploring trump to act. will he continue to ignore and surrender or protect our country? you are kidding, right? did you fall asleep during this movie? >> that's how we got to america. >> the russians have landed. >> the russians have captured the airport. >> we haven't got a chance. we haven't got a chance. >> get out of the way! >> judge jeanine: hillary, our intelligence professionals are imploring trump to act? where did you get that from? you don't have a security clearance. not that it mattered when i did have one. if you are talking about nsa director mike rogers, he testified this week our government was taking steps to counter russian interference but probably not enough. when mueller i

host: you focused on this -- i'm glad i got booed at cpac. this is the conference that serves as the launching pad for ronald reagan. guest: among many other things. cpac has a checkered history. sometimes they have been mainstream. as i said in my piece, the ways that they have been unconventional has been in things like posting conferences about whether the flat tax is the way to go or whether all taxation is best, that kind of thing. last year they invited my low mila yeahlists -- who thinks it is to praise the alt-right and you think that is funny to be singing and have people do the nazi salute at a bar. advocate guess is an for some kind of pedophilia -- maybe some other term when it isn't quite pedophilia but older men having sex with teenage boys and he is for that and that is the kind of thing that cpac has to send it to. so part of it is just bad judgment but part of it is the triumph of the entertainment aspect of conservatism over substance. attention.t they want the outrageous. fears.nt to create we have shown they are willing to

i met you i think last year at cpac, do you remember that? >> yes.se: let's show the audience that interaction. is this your first cpac? >> yes. i'm so excited. i'm high energy. jesse: why are you here? it doesn't seem like something a 7-year-old what do. >> i'm 11. people from all over the country come here to talking to the with speeches. and it's so fun, you get to meet new people and talk about the issues we are facing. it's so fun. jesse: why are you a conservative? >> conservatives are a little bit more trustworthy than liberals. some of the liberals are just not as smart. just not in the political area. jesse: do you know whose world this is? what the where. jesse: that was last year. now you have had a year to digest the trump presidency. how do you think things have gone so far? >> it's been amazing. all the things he has done is historic. the tax cuts, we have done so much, and we will repeal obamacare. jesse: mandates repeal, they still have to uproot the rest of the garbage. the wall hasn't been built yet, does that frustrate you? >> i kn

columnist mona charen wrote about her recent appearance at the cpac conference. she says "for traditional conservatives, the past two years have felt like a "twilight zone" episode. intellectuals have succumbed to come of the train every principle they once claimed to uphold. now here is that panel discussion she spoke at last weekend just outside washington, , d.c. it is half an hour. ♪ marji: welcome. thank you so much for being here. we are delighted to be with you. [applause] so, we will be talking about #ustoo, left out from the left. how conservative woman can retake a leadership role with women across the country in a #metoo environment. let me do some quick introductions. i am marji ross, president and publisher of regnery publishing. as many of you know, where the oldest and a leading publisher of conservative political books in the country. chances are, if you have a book in your home on your bookshelf in your library, you have our book. and we have been publishing great conservative books for 70 years.

[applause] >> good morning, cpac. good morning come you guys. i love seeing all of you people here.ove seeing the use. i what you think the acu. i what to think anybody at cpac for making this possible every single year because this is a time when we fellowship, make those connections, exchange ideas and would realize we really have taken some ownership. i want to say really quickly, this past election has proven more than anything that we are the big tent party. we are the big tent party. you have to think this last election we been able to pool star work democrats with hillary clinton because they got tired of hearing about how they're going to afford their health care premiums and pay for the roof over their head with pronouns and which bathroom they could use. that's what they were told all throughout the election. if anything what this last election has proven to us is that you 80% friend does not have to be your 20% enemy. we learned that this past election. we are conservatives. we have the superior product. we don't have to modify our views. we don't have to rationalize why

that's not chuck schumer or cpac -- not cpac. or any liberal think tanks. that's j.p. morgan chase. our poor republican friends. they hoped this tax bill would send them on a trajectory to win elections and by february the numbers are starting to turn against them again. look at the quinnipiac poll of yesterday. why? because as this tax bill plays out, what democrats said all along, the vast majority of the benefits are going to the wealthy, that it increases the deficit and it increases the clarion call of many on the republican side to cut medicare and social security to pay for the deficit they created, it's not going over too well. we'll match our argument against theirs now, in october, in november. we're confident we're going to win that argument, and that's why already the enthusiasm about this tax bill is fading. massive deluge of corporate share buybacks is proving to be the principal legacy of the republican tax bill. not benefits to workers. not bonuses. not wage increases. not even new equipment or investment in r&d. i welcome that. no. corporations are spending the bulk

i gave the difference on a different cpac panel. woman famously said she never worked a day in her life. raised five boys. trying to restore respect for motherhood, i think there are interesting policies out there. i think there was a part of a tax bill proposing a conservative approach recommending family leave. offering incentives. that is the direction we want to go in, not more policy and more laws denying women or eliminating reproductive rights. audience withan young people, we have to separate ourselves from the men on our side who have behaved atrociously toward women. they will not listen to us until we do. all right? international #ustoo, i think we all need to be a voice for the inequality is happening in the middle east and african countries. those women need us. on the domestic front, a pro-women know agenda means having a conversation with your daughters to explain that just because i'm against forcing the government to pay for and maternity leave plan, does not mean i do not think you should have access to a maternity

last month ambassador bolton spoke at the annual cpac conference. this is half an hour. >> ladies and gentlemen thank you so much for having us and a special thank you to our wonderful panelists here. i'm going to try and speak as little as possible because we have so much expertise here. i am grateful for the acu and all the hard-working staff who made this happen. when matt first asked me to moderate i said how dare you and he said moderate a panel, not moderate your views. i'm not sure i can do that. here we are one of the largest threats to the united states. is that radical islam? it said china? is a rush a? is a rogue states, rogue actors or all of the above? we have such a wonderful panel here with us. ambassador john bolton. [applause] who really is such a personal hero of mine. the man who i am sure so many of us hope and look forward to hearing a lot more from in policy areas over the next few years. i hope i haven't overstepped in a mark their ambassador but i say it proudly. erielle davidson hoover institute and claremont institute's fel

orchestrated a once in a generation tax cut rewrite that many republicans have been excited about, cpacthere w single biggest achievement republicans can claim is tax breaks. >> did they have a panel? >> they had a panel, but it was a little bit sleepy but not compared to this russian issue. >> i think until recently, the senate has been different. since iran contra, the intel committee has operated on a pretty bipartisan basis and after 9/11 as well. >> going back to iran contra, there was real tension there because the white house was also not happy about how things were going, and yet it didn't break down. >> exactly. and after 9/11, i think the same was true. >> what happened -- why did kevin brady not be celebrated as a hero but devin nunez? >> i would tell you to watch the ads the tax cuts are going to be celebrated. >> why is devin nunez more celebrated than a kevin brady. >> the cpac has lauded the tax cut for months. i can't answer for who they chose to give what award. >> it's just that fighting on the russia probe is more rewarding than fighting for policy. i guess that's the

he went there to heckle jeb bush. >> matthew was picketing cpac? >> he doesn't like the republicans because they're all traders. we saw donald trump speak and i remember just matthew was like giggling the whole time and going this as my call, he knows nothing. who does he think he is. it's going to go to jeb bush like we all thought. and then i think kind of the realize they had some overlapping. trump pretty quickly turned nativist in his writer. iq is pretty out of the gate. he was far to the right everyone else. when he launched the campaign with the mexican rapist and all they mckenna stuff, you had some hearts and minds on the far right because you're talking their language and this will stuff they're saying back in 2011, 2010. i i think they were hopeful and then they just saw that he kept on confirming all the hopes and dreams. when he used these rallies to, like lock her up and beat protesters up, that's very much what they like to be. they like to hear a strong male voice inciting violence. that's a gold for them. >> i remember reading a b

i genuinely went to cpac to hear from the speakers.e college republicans and it was an amazing experience, right? we always say the flipside. -- ainsley: you write about how nervels have you you were to governmental i was. ainsley: you are immersing yourself with the biggest conservatives in the country. people who passionate about it? >> exactly. ainsley: when you got there, you said they were so nice to you and really welcomed you. tell us about the some of the stories you wrote about in the op-ed. >> i knew a couple people before going. in because i had been making a conscious effort to talk to more republicans and conservatives. i was general winly blown away by how friendly and welcoming everybody was. steve: they wanted to hear both sides. >> they wanted to hear both sides. not only that. steve: there is ben shapiro. >> genuinely wanted to hear from me first. you know, they wanted to hear what i had to say first before they. ainsley: they invited to you happy hour and invited you to dinner. >> i got into v.i.p. room at reagan pal

this was part of the annual conservative political action conference known as cpac. it's just under 20 minutes. >>> hello. everybody back from lunch? everybody excited about the afternoon? good job! well i'm delighted to be here with a good friend. we both have the privilege of serving in the previous administration together and now i get to call you mr. secretary. first of all, why don't we say -- you need to know a little bit because i think it is so impressive. so harvard not only harvard law, but harvard undergrad, i'm impressed, are you? the president said he was going to surround himself with some of america's best and brightest and, boy, did he ever. >> thank you. >> parents were refugees from communist cuba. >> that's correct. >> you actually were a clerk for justice. >> samuel alito when he was on the third circuit. >> alito. impressive. so the president didn't let us down with the best and brightest. why don't we start with what does the secretary of labor do and then we'll get into the meat of it. >> when i describe the department of labor, i put into thre

and we haven't done well enough in that department, and i think we can ask the cpac to look at that, as well, to help us. so i think those are two things that we can look at going forward. and i want to call out that i'm a huge fan and other commissioners are, as well, of peer resources, and making sure peer resources are adequately funded, and i want to thank you. >> thank you for your comments. student delegate. >> understand on the p.e.u. a few years ago, and i understand the comprehensive recommendation that you've worked on for the past year, and i just want to say thank you to the student nominees to the cpac. william stevens. thank you for your service, and i enjoyed your presentation. >> thank you. commissioner norton, and then, commissioner haney? >> thank you. as always, i really appreciate the work of the peace cac. thank you so much for your volunteer signs. nice to see my appointees here tonight. i am just curious about -- it's somewhat hard to tell from the budget breakdown where we are increasing investments over and above the increases in the overall pot, and it would

he told the crowd he loves cpac and would never leave them for a double d pac.e did all of the hits, the tax cuts, the law, his hair. second amendment. went after john mccain, called hillary crooked, called the media crooked. there were chants of "lock her up." it was lots of fun. if you thought he'd let this hair brained scheme to give guns to teachers go, you're mistaken. this is a man with a lot of hair on his head. >> the beauty is it's concealed. nobody would ever see it unless they needed it. it's concealed. so this crazy man who walked in wouldn't even know who it is that has it. that's not bad, that's good. and a teacher would have shot the hell out of him before he knew what happened. >> right. >> jimmy: in your jean-claude van damme fantasy world that's exactly what would have happened. but in this situation the security guard even had a gun and nothing was done. the security guard doesn't know the children, doesn't love the children. this man standing outside of the school the other day doesn't love the children. probably doesn't know the children. th

president trump, that was last week at cpac, attacking senator john mccain who is being treated for aevere form of brain cancer over health care which incited boos from the crowd. yesterday, several members of mccain's family, they hit back. >> i understand the argument is he is talking about policy and that's the attack, but it's still incredibly hurtful, especially after i've had this conversation with him on the phone, to have this moment of booing at cpac, which is supposed to be the mothership of conservatism and the republican party and just sort of see booing at this specific moment in time is incredibly hurtful. >> we need more compassion. we need more empathy. we need more togetherness in terms of working together. we don't need more bullying. and i'm tired of it. >> mccain is hitting back there. >>> the body of billy graham is set to be part the u.s. capital later this morning. president trump, vice president pence and congressional leaders gathered in the rotunda of the kil capital yesterday morning to pay their respects to graham who died last week at the age of 99. graham

. >> bill, the point is -- you don't remember that but that was cpac in 2011. cpac in 2011.oldie but a goody. he is wanting to play with tariffs for a long time. that is not something that is willy-nilly as his flirtation on gun control. >> it is one thing he believed for 30 years and basic -- he hated that clooib whina was eat lunch but you could defend a china targeted policy because there have been unfair trade practices and across the board, it is hard to pull back from what he announced and across the board tariff that punishes canada, it is -- it is hard to defend economically and hard to defend geo-strategicly. and that is underreported. that the serious people in the foreign policy defense community -- it is one thing to pick a fight with china and russia, they are not our friends but he is picking fights with our allies. >> about the only positive response to this came from sherrod brown. a handful of old school democrats. >> and he is playing to that. there is a weird number that i want to bring up because you know i'm a numbers guy and you like numbers too. it is

my wife ran cpac every year. cpac is not what it used to be. please to have actual panels and great intellectual debates about missile defense and -- [laughter] balanced budget versus tax cuts and things like that. but both men were controversial. and because of that there is speculation and disinformation. and i wanted to write about reagan because first of all his legacy was in danger of slipping into irrelevancy. and i wanted to -- my books are all fact-based. i interviewed many people. these are books of history. these are works of history. these are not works of opinion. everything is documented and everything is annotated. everything like that. i find them compelling figures of history. reagan, because the reagan revolution truly was a revolution against the established order. against the status quo. there is a dialect to american presidential history. every generation to there's an upheaval among the population against the established order. it starts with jefferson against adams and the sedition act and the nicholson jackson with bank o

was a lot of good, too. >> ian walters made the comments. >> it was a fabulous cpac.n all disclosure is the employee of msnbc. so that works both ways. >> so ian walters go? >> absolutely not. did you read his op-ed in the hill? because what he said is as a man of color, he strongly believes that the republican party is too cynical in their approach to minorities. he was being very critical of republican leadership. let me finish. and we don't do this right. >> i understand your point. >> so as a conservative man of color, i'm not going to silence him. he has a right to speak on these issues. >> so let me ask you about your words. because you had an exchange with michael steele where he should have grace. do you regret 234i of thany of ? >> i regret so many things. >> that specifically. >> that michael steele should have grace? the moment after the comments were uttered by ian which was a spontaneous exchange, he called michael to apologize. and michael didn't accept his apology and i think that shows a lack of grace about that. >> so one more time, do you regret sayi

host: that was from cpac in february. guest: outlining his concerns about china, there is a broad consensus with those views. one important and goldman -- element of these deliberations, when it comes to north korea, is that china does prop up the north korean regime. the north korean regime cannot survive without china. issues the existential when it comes to how to tackle north korea. what he said about piracy, what he said about discrimination against foreign investments, what he said about propping up the north korean regime and also increased chinese military presence in the south china sea, a real geopolitical hotspot, our concerns widely shared by republicans and democrats in washington. it important thing when comes to north korea is to know that the north korean regime is not suicidal. it has shown in the past that while it is difficult to deal -- it isnot willing saber rattling and talking about going to war with the u.s. it has not actually done that yet. that is why a lot of people in the administration, even

about other people than himself, but i don't know, there was a little self-deprecating humor at the cpac speech recently where he joked about the losing the hair. >> the hair. >> and i don't know, but i will be at my kid's school fund-raising auction tonight, but we will see what happens afterwards. >> thank you, nathan gonzalez. appreciate it. >> no problem. >>> are a powererful nor'easter is bearing down on the east coast and claiming five lives and leaving millions without power. we are live on the ground after th this. thing. your top-rated thing. that five stars, two thumbs up, 12-out-of-10, would recommend thing. because if you only want the best thing, you get the #1 thing. directv is rated #1 in customer satisfaction over cable. switch now and get a $200 reward card. more for your thing. that's our thing. call 1.800.directv gathered here are the world's finest insurance experts. rodney -- mastermind of discounts like safe driver, paperless. the list goes on. how about a discount for long lists? gold. mara, you save our customers hundreds for switching almost effortlessly. it's a

computer that steve bannon had just given a firey speech in france, and le pen was here speaking to cpac just a few weeks ago. so now we see cross-atlantic trading, if you will, of the right wing. i guess that's just a smaller world, more electronic world we're living in. >> if you watch bannon from yesterday or the day before, he appears alongside le pen and he gives a speech and he says, let them call you racist, callow xenophobes and wear it as a badge of honor. and so this is not surprising. if you look at what he was saying during the campaign, praised an obscure novel from france, the camp of the saints. the story of indian immigrants arriving on french shores and the heroes are people who shoot them down from the hills and marine le pen has praised the novel and many look to it and it's author as a beacon and a vision of what is coming. so when that is your sort of literary inspiration, it's not surprising at all to see bannon talking like this and there is the sort of cross-pollination going on across the atlantic. i'm sure you remember in charlottesville, the chants of the white

last week at cpac we saw what and a coat chamber looks like. some alleged conservatives focusing on economic freedom and favoring protectionism, liberty is different, ladies and gentlemen. we understand that our symbol, the torch, needs to be carried. we can't hover over the fire and protected because nobody would be able to see it. nobody will see how free markets and our ideas can lead to human lurching. on the contrary, we need to carry the torch, get out there despite the totalitarian headwinds disseminating from the left and the right. we owe it to the idealists and the thinkers to go out there and change minds. if we can only change minds we listen to other folks and don't put them down. now on campuses and in society, there is so much hate out there. our ideas are not based on hate, they are based on trusting the individual and that free individuals can find solutions to complex social problems. we are different and our communications skills should also be different. this is what i was telling her students. yes, we have the right ideas.

just last week at cpac we saw what an echo chamber looks like. some conservatives forging in on economic freedom blindly fave iring protectionism and hypernationalism. libertycon is different, ladies and gentlemen. we understand that our symbol is the torch that needs to be carried. we cannot just huddle over the fire and protect it, because nobody else will be able to see it. nobody will see how free markets and our ideas can lead to human flourishing. on the contrary, we need to carry the torch, get out there, despite the totalitarian head winds disseminating from the left and the right. we actually owe it to the ideas and thinkers like douglas, friedman and others to go out there and change minds. and we can only change minds if we listen to other folks and don't put them down. right now on campuses as well as in society, there's so much hate out there. our ideas are not based on hate. they are based on trust in individuals and that free individuals can find solutions to complex social problems. we are different and our communication skills sh

reviewing my books like going to school again she had just given a fiery speech and france and speaking to cpac now we see trading of the right way. >> he appears alongside the pen and says let me call you racist. i wear it as a badge of honor. this is not surprising. if you look at what bannon was saying he spent time creating a novel from fans which is the story of 800,000 immigrants arriving on french shores. the heroes of those who shot him down from the hills. a lot of people in the right look to it. it's a vision of what is coming. with that is your literary inspiration is not surprising to see been a talking like this. there's a cross-pollination going on across the atlantic. you might've remembered in charlottesville that resulted in some and stuff. they will not replace us the jews will not replace us, those chants have an intellectual lineage and get back to the french and german writers. there's a book popular with the idea that immigrants are coming in replacing the true right french civilization and destroying it that's a central idea for many supporters and bannon has been inspire

my first encounter was at cpac in 2014. effect kids in khakis. matthew was picketing and we went inside and donald trump is going to speak after jeb bush and everyone. he went there to heckle judg jeh he dislike republicans because their traders. so we saw donald trump speaking i remember matthews giggling the whole time and say this hole knows nothing. it's going to go to jeb anyway like we all thought and then i think they realize that they had something overlapping. trump quickly turned nativist in his rhetoric. he was far to the right of everyone else. when you launch the campaign with mexican rapists and year talking their language. i think they're hopeful of the they just saw that he kept on confirming, all the hopes and dreams and when you use these rallies like lock her up and be protesters up, that's very much what they like to hear. how strong my voice inciting violence. >> they would say like this is our movement, there are all these people and these guys were ready to grab that movement. >> he wasn't dog whistling, he was saying what

i said this at cpac the other day.o longer exists and the american people need to understand this. i don't know how it's going tend to, i don't know if it's dead forever but 90% of the media is far left wing and totally reliant on getting cliques and playing to their base and to their owners to support what their owners want, and there are very few outlets that are going to give anything that is even -- i wouldn't even say conservative point of view but a conservative to mainstream point of view, those outlets don't exist and masquerade, they use the storied names of these great institutions or these great companies like the "washington post," i mean, it's been around forever. a lot of historic work for decades. but it no longer does. that just the fact that they would cover the logan act as if the logan act should have been something that was used and ate that up from the obama administration who said we're looking at the logan act, it was a leak. just the fact they would use that and not call them on that should be p
