all right let's get started
first and foremost I just want to thank
you guys for having me back it's always
such an honor to speak on the stage and
I was thinking about it today and
unbelievably I've spoken at CPAC five
times it seems to have gone by so fast
they've always welcomed me Mercedes and
Matt schlapp and I'm just so grateful
for that opportunity and I was thinking
back to those first moments and how much
my life has changed since five years ago
how much all of our lives have changed
since five years ago how much the global
conversation has changed nobody could
have fathomed five years ago the covid
era nobody could have fathomed so much
Global governance taking place but I
think the biggest changes in my life
obviously have taken place on a personal
level I think about flying around the
world traveling with Charlie Kirk when I
first started and now I'm a married
the best part of life beginning for me
and and so much change is when you
become a parent you hear it all the time
and it's so correct and I think what
really changes is your understanding of
what matters in the world you know you
look at your children you look at your
family and you understand that this is
what really matters but in the same vein
you could say that you also understand
what doesn't matter what's not important
and then you also understand what can't
matter and I want to talk about that for
a little bit because when I say what
can't matter I'm talking about matter as
a word as a substant existence of
something what things that cannot
materialize I have this thought all the
time I'm so preoccupied with thinking
about things that cannot materialize now
that my children are in this world
because the fight now seems so much more
important uh the battles now I'm we are
deciding upon the future for our
children for my children and I've never
been more committed so I wanted to First
share with you something that a
colleague of mine posted Matt Walsh she
posted this onto his Twitter yesterday
actually and I was really struck by it
because I've read things like it from
the past and I think it really serves a
reminder for everyone in this room as to
where we are today in America this is
the passage it was written during the
Civil War and this is a letter to a
loved one from a soldier an infantryman
in Pennsylvania
he writes under the dark shade of a
towering Oak near the dunker Church lay
the lifeless form of a drummer boy
apparently not more than 17 years of age
flax and hair and eyes of blue and form
of delicate mold as I approached him I
stooped down and as I did so I perceived
a bloody Mark upon his forehead it
showed where the lead-in messenger of
death had produced the wound that caused
his death his lips were compressed his
eyes half open a bright smile played
upon his countenance by his side lay his
tenor drum never to be tapped again so
again to provide that context this was
written as just a letter to a loved one
from an 18 year old Soldier and why Matt
was struck by this passage and why I
have been similarly stricken by passages
like it reading these letters that just
soldiers 18 year old seven-year-old boys
were riding back home is how poetic and
how beautiful it is this is not written
by somebody with a formal education it's
written by an year old just saying this
is what I'm seeing on the battlefield
and yet it reads like a haunting poetry
and it begs the question what on Earth
has happened
where Once Upon a Time in America you
had people with no formal education that
were able to produce words and content
like this and now we are suddenly in a
society where there's so much formal
education and do you think the average
18 year old could describe what they're
seeing in that way
this is not a this is not a stunning
example this is not a person that was
exceptional this was your average 18
year old during the Civil War so what's
happened in American society today we've
given out so many degrees we actually as
a fact have never given out more degrees
and yet from an IQ perspective we have
never produced students that are this
dumb that doesn't make sense
I'm serious I'm talking about
their standardized tests children are
getting dumber and dumber and dumber and
you have to ask yourself why or how that
is also the emergence at the University
level of what Thomas Soul refers to as
soft subjects right people that are
receiving all of these degrees but
getting them in bizarre subjects like
gender studies
what is that what do you do for four
years when you major in gender studies
what do you do when you graduate with a
degree in gender studies here I'll ask
you guys a question have you ever at any
moment in your entire life I want you to
think of every single moment in your
life have you ever in a time of trouble
or if you just had a basic question have
you ever said man I really need a gender
Studies major right now to sort through this
I'm gonna guess the answers no because
why would we need somebody with a degree
in general size there's nothing that
that person can do to contribute to our
society once they leave college and they
have mounds and mounds of debt and so
you laugh at these bizarre subjects that
you're seeing that are popping up so
many different bizarre ones just like
that and yet these kids leave with their
degree and they are the most egotistical
conceited children that you've ever seen
certain that their degree means
something until they're smacked in the
face with the Real Worlds until they
realize that it's not just the people in
this room that laugh at gender studies
Majors it's it's everybody nobody needs
you right
and then that person that spent all of
that money and has all this debt and now
has met the real world and realizes that
they're not needed becomes a very angry
individual and let me tell you something
there is no person that is is more
dangerous than an angry person that
perceives their own intellect that
believes that the world owes them
something because how could these high
school kids that didn't go on to college
and just learned how to fix ACS how are
they making more money than me is what
this person thinks right I have a degree
in gender studies how is Joe from my
class back in middle school making more
money and running a business oh I don't
know because personally for me I live in
Tennessee let me tell you something
about Joe from middle school class if
he's running a business
when the AC goes out I will pay any
amount of money for that person to come
because he has a real skill and real
skills are needed in a free market
Society we will pay for people with real skills
skills
I want to quote you something else that
Thomas Soul says about academics because
again I laugh at these people but they
do become dangerous this is a quote he
wrote people who have acquired academic
degrees without acquiring many
economically meaningful skills not only
face personal disappointment and
disaffection with Society but also have
often become negative factors in the
economy and even sources of danger
especially when they lash out in many
places and times soft subject students
and quote-unquote intellectuals have
inflamed hostility and sometimes
violence against many other successful groups
groups
here's another Thomas quotation
he wrote there is usually only a limited
amount of damage that can be done by
dull or stupid people for creating a
truly Monumental disaster you need
people with high IQs right you need
people in the Academia these people tend
to go on and then become professors
because that's all they can really do
with these meaningless degrees and they
become angry and they become dangerous
and if you look back at the last 100
years in American society there's
evidence for that everywhere a true evil
that has taken place in American society
is always being thought up on a
University campus it's the academics and
their solutions to problems right they
come up with horrible ideas like during
the Progressive Era they came up with
Eugenics they thought up Jim Crow these
people that you should be respecting are
the ones that are in classrooms right
now teaching themes like transgenderism
of course we shouldn't expect we
shouldn't respect them they know nothing
they've done nothing and yet they're
convinced of their own superiority
one of the biggest uphill battles when I
launched my YouTube channel so many
years ago was that the number one
critique that I was getting from
journalists aside from the fact that
they thought I was a black white
supremacist people are so smart they're
really smart guys they're really smart
but they kept remarking on the fact that
I hadn't finished College like that was
what made them feel above me okay
Candace didn't finish University yes
it's true I had to drop out in my senior
year because Sally May had a big
collapse and my family couldn't afford
it so these elitists and their mentality
mocked me for years until I eventually
finished but they mocked me and they
felt better and smarter than me because
they have a meaningless degree and that
that makes them feel that they are of
some importance
and what they do when they are in these
classrooms and when they get power they
understand what they can do and why they
become dangerous is that they are
raising up the next generation of people
that we are going to have to contend
with with Society they are brainwashing
them with more bad and dangerous ideas
I'll give you just a few examples of
some that we are dealing with today some
things that have materialized in our
society today there is the Battle of
climate change right it's every couple
of years they change why we're all going
to die I don't know when I was in school
global warming maybe when you were in
school it was global cooling there was
the ozone layer catastrophe they told
people acid rain if you're from the 70s
you know they keep telling us we're all
going to die every 10 years we get it right
right
and you wonder why is this a focus why
are they obsessed with making students
feel this fear why did they make me try
to program me when I was in high school
to watch uh Inconvenient Truth and
listen to Al Gore lecture us the planet
was going to be gone in 10 years unless
we of course listened to more governance
another one of their big big ones
obviously which I touched upon earlier
is transgenderism never thought we'd be
here never thought there's no way I do
not care if you had a crystal ball
there's no way that you could have
fathomed that you would be considered a
bigot if you said that men cannot be
women and women cannot be men that's
that you would be considered a bigot
I've been called a bigot for saying that
only women can give birth these things
are obvious obviously true and yet they
are teaching students people are earning
degrees in categories like
transgenderism to learn that no actually
that's not true that there's something
other than reality that you can that you
can achieve
another category of course is feminism
my personal favorites it's just rinsing
women to believe that they should hate
men that they should reject men that
every problem and Ill that we face in
society can be described by fluffy terms
like toxic masculinity right these women
that are Marching and you look at all
these things and I describe them as
evils and things that we shouldn't laugh at
at
because yes the left is radical but they
are ever so intentional they are
Machiavellian and they know exactly what
they are doing they know what all of
these things have in common climate
change transgenderism feminism we look
up and we go how why what's wrong with
the bathroom signs why why do they
choose violence every day against random
things that nobody cared about
well the truth is that their intentions
are to go after the one thing that
stands between them and absolute power
and so we revisit those topics and I
want you to remember this because it's
so important you will see it everywhere
and attack on the family unit you
revisit those categories and the things
that they are raising up children to
believe and you see how it destroys families
families
climate change of course what they tell
children first and foremost is that it
would be irresponsible to have big
families it would be irresponsible to
have children AOC once said that she
wasn't going to have children because of
planet and climate change she thought it
was irresponsible now listen I am not
going to fight her not going to fight
her on that one [Applause]
[Applause]
but think about that think about the
facts that Prince Harry and Meghan
Markle were awarded with an award a
climate change award for agreeing to
only have two children because it's
better for the planet
it's it's so evil it's so sociopathic
that this is what they are warning
people for
you revisit transgenderism and what
better way to annihilate families than
to annihilate bodies we won't be able to
produce families you have men that are
mutilating their bodies so that they
can't reproduce you are having women
that are mutilating their bodies so that
they cannot reproduce you are having
people that are confused people that are
taking so much medication after they
realize of course
that mutilating your own body does not
change your sex it does not do that it's
just you mutilating your own body these
people become enslaved by big Pharma
they take pills to try to make
themselves happy to deal with their own
depression but of course that is an
attack ultimately on the Family
and then you look at feminism and you
look at how radical it's become in the
hatred towards men and and you see the
way that women speak of men absolutely
no respect the modern feminist has for
man and you see them confusing gender
roles again telling men that telling
women that they need to be just like men
need to go out in society we need to
climb the corporate ladder don't worry
about your kids the government will
raise them that's why we have the
Department of Education which by the way
but you see they understand that as they
pressure women to go out and to pursue
their careers and they simultaneously
tell women that they don't need a man
they are of course attacking the family
units because those children are no
longer in two-parent households because
at the same time they're fathers
ironically are being told to act like women
women
be more sensitive cry more get into your
feelings right you can be just like a
woman you can you can literally be a
woman right you're telling men that any
demonstration of masculinity is wrong
and backwards you're producing a society
where they want men to be like dogs with
their tails in between their legs and
that is because they know that there is
no society that can survive without
strong men and there is no family that
can survive without both strong men and
family is is what it's all about and I
think that has been my biggest
understanding over these last five years
that it is the most important topic my
husband gave a speech recently where he
talked about cultivating a positive and
healthy interior life right and I think
about that often I think about my
household and I think that the best way
to effectuate change is to make sure
that you are cultivating a healthy
interior life you can control what
happens in your households we need more
people committed to that
friend of mine Jack pesobic says if you
want to be a rebel start a family I'm
going to add to that and say Don't just
the interior life your family is of the
utmost importance but closely following
that of course is the exterior life and
here's what I will say and I say this
um from the bottom of my heart and I
mean this well
if you are somebody who believes that we
need to meet and sit down and break
bread with the left on these various
topics to figure out how we can come
together we don't need you
they're
there there is no middle ground on
transgenderism there is no middle ground
on child grooming there was no middle
ground on coming up with fluffy terms
for pedophilia there is no middle
grounds and if you are offended because
some of us have the courage to say what
needs to be said we simply don't need
ladies and gentlemen I think I have made
a career of fighting like hell my
promise to you always upon the stage and
out in the world is that I will never
stop fighting like hell especially when
it comes to family thank you so much God
[Applause]
thank you so much
thank you so much thank you [Music]
