but he's doing better, arthel, among cpac voters. this is not representative of the country, and it's not representative of the broad base that donald trump would need to appeal to to win the election. these are true believers that are at the conference. interesting also to see ron desantis come in second again. he had hometown or home state advantage at the last cpac meeting. but it's just interesting that among all the other possibilities, you know, pence and pompeo and others, nikki haley, that desantis is still in the number two spot. arthel: well, you know, listen, and governor desantis has been in the headlines being able to demonstrate his leadership qualities as he is tackling that horrific condo collapse in surfside, florida. how will this, how long will that resonate in desantis' favor? >> hard to say. he also was, he pushed reopening the state much more quickly than a lot of other states did with regard to the coronavirus, and now the caseload is rising in florida as it is in many other places because of the delta variant.

why are you making cpac about the big lie, and not all the other things you could argue? >> cpac.le and the theme of cpac is america uncanceled. >> but what are you cancelling? the truth? as an alternative? >> is trying -- it's a nice, little slight. now, let me talk. the whole idea with cpac is this idea that the federal government came in and said, because of the pandemic, that we couldn't have churches open. we couldn't have schools open. there -- half of this country is outraged over the fact that our kids have fallen behind because the federal government said you couldn't open up. then, on social media, all of us get cancelled. you don't get cancelled. the rest of us get cancelled all the time. >> you know it was state by state, right? you know each of these governors made their own determinations, right? why are you making the government a boogieman? why are you attacking institutions? i thought you guys were about bolstering the institutions. >> why am i attacking the federal government, which told kids -- >> they didn't tell anybody anything. they should have told kids. yo

trump doesn't run in 2024, 48% of cpac -- of 8% of -- 68% of cpac attendees want ron desantis. ahead of his peach at cpac -- speech, the former president spoke about his lawsuit against twitter, facebook and google with maria bartiromo on "sunday morning futures." >> it's not about me, it's about everybody. they're taking away your freedom of speech. they're taking away your right to speak, taking away everything, and they get powers. what they've done is such a violation of the constitution, a violation like we've never seen before. you look at, they take me down, they take all conservative voices down or most of them. if they find them, they take them down. it's a disgrace. >> "fox & friends" enterprise reporter lawrence jones spoke with trump a short time ago in dallas. he joins us live from cpac once again. hi, lawrence. >> good evening, my friend. i refused to ask the former president if he was going to run again because it's pretty clear based on him campaigning, speaking at this event today. but i did ask him what the agenda will be. this is what the former president had

let's go to cnn's donie o'sullivan live in dallas at cpac. donie, it's clear that donald trump and the big lie still control much if not all of the republican party. what else are you hearing down there in dallas? >> reporter: hey, jim. it's really quite remarkable to hear just pretty much from everyone we speak to, almost, here and also, you know, in ohio at a trump rally two weeks ago, everybody buying into the big lie but also the insurrection which was only just six months ago. so many trump supporters are convinced despite all of the evidence, all of the indictments, that it wasn't actually trump supporters at the capitol on january 6, that it in some way was a left wing plot. we were speaking to some trump supporters at cpac in dallas today. have a listen. who have you seen speaking? >> today? >> reporter: or just this weekend? >> trump. we would like to see him run again. he's got the right message and the right policies. uh, he's done wonders for the united states, the four years that he was in there. and, uh, we've gone in the opposi

and that's why cpac is important. question you asked alicia is conservatives, there's a lot of them. this is a lot of people like you that can come together and share common ground at a cpac event. i also think it's relevant for president trump because so many people aren't willing to stand up and push back and fight back, and finally donald trump was one politician who would do it. he would tell the media to go pound sand and conservatives, who couldn't do it themselves, like, thank you for saying what i think, donald trump. that was the power of trump. and if we could channel a little bit of that, maybe a little nicer but still channel trump, we're going to see a conservative comeback in america. but if we do timid into the good night, we are going to lose this fight and lose the country. your point right there at the end is perfect is well in that you can only get canceled if you go, if you agree, if you commit. and the answer is to just say no, to borrow a phrase from mrs. reagan. [laughter] thank you all very muc

she joins us from cpac where she spoke moments ago, governor, welcome. >> thank you for inviting me.> the theme of the speech was joe biden's america, for those of you who didn't get to perceive you perform, would you layout the key points. >> i talked about the very different world were living in today than the one i had the opportunity to grow up in and i talked about the fact that were seeing crime, lawlessness and open border that is devastating families and businesses and jeopardizing our national security. i talked about the decision to send my national guard down to the border i was the first governor in the country in texas and arizona asked for help i sent national guard troops that know how to complete missions, they are trained and equipped in their the best, we talked about that and the importance of taking the start seriously and also pushing back in critical race theory, 1619 project, those are two ways that they will quickly destroy america if we do not stop them. mike: you mentioned sending national guardsmen to the border about 120 live from south dakota do you have

hello, cpac, how are you feeling tonight? [cheers and applause] oh, yes. yes, conservative looks marvelous. you guys are looking good, feeling proud and feeling strong, that's right. it is so great to be here and see this incredible crowd of freedom and liberty loving conservatives and born free americans. [cheers and applause] this is texas style. we like to do it big we like to do it loud, we like to do it cpac style. so the media every few months is is trying to write the obituary, believe it or not, of our conservative movement and then along comes cpac, right? and thank you to mercy and matt for their courage and their vision their excellence in bringing this to us every single year and doing it bigger and better and smarter each time. god bless them and the family. i love it because cpac blows up the fake news narrative of the liberal media time and time again. and thanks to cpac and to our fabulous president trump, we will not be canceled [cheers and applause] but it's not all sunshine and rainbows every single day because, well, joe bummer biden is

[applause] it is so great to be here and see this incredible crowd of freedom and liberty loving conservatives and born-free americans. this is texas style. we like to do it loud. we like to do it cpac style. so the media every few months is trying to write the obituary believe it or not of or conservative movement and then along comes cpac, right? and thank you to mercy and matt for their courage and their vision and their excellence in bringing this to us every single year and downing it biger and better every time. god bless them and the shclapp family. i love it because cpac blows up the fake news narrative of the liberal media time and time again. and thanks to cpac and to our fabulous president trump, we will not be canceled. [cheers

>> absolutely, all started at cpac in 2015 when facebook refused to allow cpac to trend because the conservativellion views you can't even find that anymore, because they just cancel us left and right. ainsley: and mercedes nick name, she goes by mercy in washington. >> lord is mercy that's right. ainsley: i love it. give us a preview of what we can expect with cpac. president trump will be there, governor kristi noem, rick perry , who else? >> we've got dr. ben carson is coming, robert o'brien who was the nfc advisor, we've got governor bill lee, it's just a whole group and then we've also got the grassroots activist like ian prior and one of the women, one of the moms who spoke against critical race theory, someone who survived chinese come communism and is speaking out against this radical leftist agenda in our schools, so it is about not only our conservative leaders but also, this organic grassroots individuals who are really making a difference in their community. they will not be canceled, we're going to be fighting against this leftist agenda, because we're here to save america. ainsley:

it's going to resonate especially at a cpac event in texas. despite biden's problems at the border early on that have been somewhat reined back in. but what we're seeing here is not the party of lincoln. this is the cult of trump. and he's going to stand up there and do all the swollen arena rock tour greatest hits and appeal to the crowd. and it's not going to actually do anything to help that conservative movement meet the next election with anything resembling greater success. so it's tired and those kind of immigration rifts are old but you an lip-sync to them so the crowd likes them. >> margaret, just jumping off what john just said. sara murray was talking about how all of the t-shirts at cpac are about trump. i have to wonder because you sometimes like to talk about what would be best for the republican party. i just have to wonder what other republicans, other aspiring presidential candidates think of all of this and whether or not they see any daylight for themselves as long as he is dominating the scene at events like cpac. >> well,

we look at cpac as what this means for thec future of the republican party. and we look at what is happening in texas as a test for what is happening to our democracy writ large. >> i think it's pivotal that it's happening in texas because i think ultimately, texas is going to determine the nature of politics in our country for the next ten years or the next 20 years in this. republicans understand that if democrats vote according to what they represent in the population in texas, they win. that's exactly why they're doing the voting restrictions. republicansic see exactly what democrats see in texas. i think they both understand whoever ultimately comes out of this fightte in the next electi and election after that is going to determine a lot of where the country goes, and texas is, i think, the center point of that. texas has some ofth the fastest growing demographic groups.gr it's not just latinos. it's asian-americans, a whole realm of things. the wall they're really building in texas is a wall to keep people from voting. >> ali, matthew, daniel, a remind

at the same time, people at cpac, they are voters and volunteers for campaigns.y important but we have to build with regard to our base in order to win moving forward. >> paul, the former president is expected to address cpac shortly. before his appearance this evening he was on fox earlier today speak with maria bartiromo. he spread a bunch of lies about everything under the sun. she did not fact-check him, as usual, but he was asked about his political future. let's listen. >> the question is, will you make the run again? you said that you know your answer, but you're not revealing it yet. you ready to get back in that ring and run for president again, sir? >> well, i do know my answer, but i can't reveal it yet, because that has to do with campaign financing and everything else. you know that. so i can't reveal it yet but i absolutely know my answer and we're going to do very well and people are going to be very happy. >> people ask, why do we keep covering him? he may run again for president in 2024. and he keeps teasing it. it feels like it's a continuation

thank you to cpac and our president trump, we will not be canceled. it is not all sunshine and rainbows every single day because jo bonner biden is in the white house -- joe bummer biden is in the white house. no one knows how. he is leading from behind. leaving behind, harris as he is trying to trip up the stairs if you know what i mean. same old story, never gets old. however, with joe biden mumbling his way through his presidency, the administration, the reporters in the back are desperately trying to rewrite that narrative to tell you that everything is good, but what we know is the truth about what is happening in this country, because we know the difference of what excellence is in american first policy thank you to president trump. they want americans to believe that they conservative movement is fractured, that we are divided, they want america to believe that this movement is dead, but we are alive and kicking. and all of those communists and all of those out there, fill it all in, we are here to save america. and it is this group of patriots

cpac is one of them. if you want to be fair about it, do some coverage of the other extremist groups. >> i want to be fair about it and i'm asking you to name one, and you can't. we can continue to this conversation. >> antifa would be one of them. antifa would be one of them. >> i mean, that certainly is a group. certainly. but i'm talking about being welcomed at an event. we'll continue to have this discussion. i really do want to get to the bottom of it. i appreciate you -- >> i don't think the writ cause of what's going on in our democracy is who is welcome at a political hotel room. it's much broader and deeper and more nuanced than that. so, i understand your point. which is this was cpac. but the idea that that is somehow the measure of what's going on underneath the hood of our democracy is just touching the surface, i'm afraid. >> i do think it's part of it. i will say that. i do think it's part of it. governor pawlenty, thank you for joining us this morning. >> you're welcome. >> john? >> terrif

we like to do it cpac style. so the media every few months is trying to write the obituary believe it or not of or conservative movement and then along comes cpac, right? and thank you to mercy and matt for their courage and their vision and their excellence in bringing this to us every single year and downing it biger and better every time. god bless them and the shclapp family. i love it because cpac blows up the fake news narrative of the liberal media time and time again. and thanks to cpac and to our fabulous president trump, we will not be canceled. [cheers and applause] but it's not all sunshines and rainbows every single day because well, joe "bummer" biden is in the white house. no one knows how. but don't worry, much is predicted he's leading from behind, leading from behind kamala harris who keeps trying to trip him up the stairs if you know what i mean, right? same old story. never gets old. however, with joe biden bumbling his way through this presidency and the administration, the reporters probably

it's cpac, don.ent down to cpac, i actually spoke at cpac years ago when it was like sane and this is extremists gathered with a guy coming in with red meat to fire them up. i talked to a friend in new hampshire today and said the party is shrinking and people know january 6th, republicans know january 6th was a terrible, terrible blow to the united states of america. you have some people that just don't want to pay attention. they live in a silo and anything that doesn't agree with their point of view they reject and what happened at cpac in regard to the virus and trump's speeches was terrible and outrageous. terrible situation. don't say that everybody who is a republican is buying into this. >> it's not that everyone who is a republican. it the main stream in the republican party. i know that -- >> i don't think that's right. >> your assessment may be anecdotal by lawmakers, all but a few voted to, you know, not for the commission. they didn't -- >> yeah. >> they voted not to confirm the results

i covered cpac in person from 2011 through 2014. could still say it was this robust discussion between sort of chamber of commerce, mitt romney republicans, and wanna be libertarian rand paul republicans and more of the revanchist trump republicans. the revanchist trump republicans won the argument among republicans and now they control the party, and now cpac isn't this robust exchange of ideas and trying to decide where the party should go. it's a wholly owned subsidiary of the trump movement, and that's why you see the big lie being perpetuated, because that's what president trump wants to perpetuate. >> thank you. good to see you. >>> all right, richard branson blasting into suborbital space. in his own rocket. the billionaire also has a long history of being a dare devil, a risk taker. thrill seeker, if you will. we'll talk about how he has cheated death several times. e j. finish quantum works without pre-rinsing, cleaning your dishes to a shine. join the millions of americans skipping the rinse to save our water. oh! don't bu

normally cpac is a big moment for up and coming republican stars. as much of that this time around. everyone is waiting to see what the president decides to do. he doesn't have an answer. he says he knows what he wants to do but he's not going to announce it. >>> joining me now from los angeles is cnn's senior political analyst ron brownstein. great to have you with us. >> hi, rosemary. >> so former president trump, addressed cpac, going after joe biden for immigration at the southern border, topics that resonate with his base, but can he wing over swing vote sners >> an interesting question, and one that 2022 and 2024 may give us an election for. midterm elections tend to be about base voters. so it's possible that republicans could have a successful mid-term election without really testing whether this trumpification of the party will be more sellable in 2024 than in 2020. in 2020, joe biden was elected, because so many previously republican leaning voters, whether it was atlanta or philadelphia, denver, minneapolis, they voted democratic. and the

cpac kicked off with heavyweights donald trump jr. and stephen miller with a shocking and shameless rewrite of history you have to hear to believe and then you still won't believe it. how low will they go? antihistory activist objects to schools teaching the memoir of ruby bridges? seriously? brave six-year-old girl who faced mobs of white agitators to integrate her school in 1950s. but we have a moment that's a-m-a-z-i-n-g but we have to begin with something much darker. warn you it's disturbing to watch. this is newly released video evidence from the capitol insurrection, showing a police officer being dragged into the raging maga mob as they engage in literal hand-to-hand combat. among several new videos released from government today at request of nbc news and other outlets. include videos where you can hear member of the mob tell police quote you're going to die tonight. >> [ bleep ] you're going to die tonight. >> needless to say, fresh reminder why the select committee on january 6th has got to get to bottom of what motivated t

when cpac was canceled in maryland, our team decided we would uncared so cpac in florida. during the florida cpac, other states decided to open up, like the great state of texas. and that means all of us are having a big impact. but you all know this, the biggest impact player in our movement is a guy called donald trump. and when he hits, it's thunderous. and president trump is truly unique because, even though they tried everything to shut him down, to cancel him, he simply won't give in or be quiet. [cheering and applause] you know this in texas, a week ago, president trump went to the border in texas to stand with the brave men and women of border patrol. to stand against all of crime and the drugs, the victims of that crime in those drugs. president biden, that's called leadership. and it's leadership that we want. and it's leadership that will once again unite us. because actions speak louder than slogans. and you know, it's not just the border. a few days ago president trump decided to take on big tech. in this historic major class action lawsuit. but guess what? al
