So she’s in favor of the plan, but you won’t be able to get…well, we can take boats, we’ll go back to boats. This is the new Democrat platform and I don’t want to talk them out of it. I don’t, I swear I don’t. This is a killer. I got to get off this subject. I want them to embrace this plan; to sell this plan. I just want to be the Republican that runs against them.
I’m gonna regret this speech. This speech should have been delivered one year from now, not now, DAMMIT cause they’re going to get together and say, you know this guy is really laying for us. I SHOULD HAVE SAVED THE POCAHONTAS THING FOR ANOTHER YEAR BECAUSE I’VE DESTROYED HER POLITICAL CAREER AND NOW I WON’T GET A CHANCE TO RUN AGAINST HER AND I WOULD HAVE LOVED IT. I don’t knock out all of the good stuff and actually end up with someone who actually has talent. That would be bad.
SO I DO LIKE THE GREEN NEW DEAL. I RESPECT IT GREATLY. IT SHOULD BE PART OF THE DIALOG OF THE NEXT ELECTION AND I THINK IT HAS TREMENDOUS PROMISE AND TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY.
SOCIALISM IS NOT ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT; IT’S NOT ABOUT JUSTICE. IT’S NOT ABOUT VIRTUE. SOCIALISM IS ABOUT ONE THING, IT’S CALLED POWER FOR THE RULING CLASS. LOOK AT WHAT’S HAPPENING IN VENEZUELA AND SO MANY OTHER PLACES. All of us are here today because we know that the future does not belong to those who believe in Socialism. And, I heard yesterday a great speech from our Vice President, Mike Pence talking about this very subject and talking about it beautifully.
THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN FREEDOM. I’VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I’LL SAY IT AGAIN, AMERICA WILL NEVER BE A SOCIALIST COUNTRY. [crowd shouts “USA”]
I love young Americans, speaking of young Americans, Candace stand up. Candace is getting married. You’ve been incredible thank you. Your whole group has been great. And Charlie Kirk, what a job you’re doing. But, young Americans like you are leading the revival of American Liberty, sovereignty and self-determination in the face of left-wing intolerance. The anger, the unbelievable anger I see it every day. Fortunately for you, it’s mostly pointed at me. You have the courage to speak the truth, to do what is right, and to fight for what you believe and keep doing it. WE REJECT OPPRESSIVE SPEECH CODES(?), CENSORSHIP, POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, AND EVERY OTHER ATTEMPT BY THE HARD LEFT TO STOP PEOPLE FROM CHALLENGING RIDICULOUS AND DANGEROUS IDEAS. THESE IDEAS ARE DANGEROUS.
INSTEAD WE BELIEVE IN FREE SPEECH, INCLUDING ONLINE AND INCLUDING ON CAMPUS. And, by the way, there is a young gentleman with us here today. There is a young gentleman, I turned on my television the other day and I saw somebody that was violently punched in the face and I said that’s disgusting by a bully and I’d like to do a lot of things, but of course I would never do that because if I said violence they would say ‘Donald Trump attacked..’ No, no. Just for the media, I’m sure he’s a lovely young man, he just had a little temper tantrum. I’ve been there before with those people. I don’t’ want to do it again. So, the man’s name is Hayden Williams. Where’s Hayden? Hayden come up here please.
[Hayden comes to the podium]: Thank you. So at the Leadership Institute we’re committed to making campuses great again and I thank you so much for bringing me up here to let me speak. It’s great that I’m being recognized but there’s so many conservative students across the country who are facing discrimination and worse if they dare to speak up on campus so I’m glad we could bring this to the forefront. I’d just like to say that if these Socialist Progressives had their way, they would put our Constitution through the paper shredder in a heartbeat. It’s as important now than ever the work at the Leadership Institute and campus reform exposing these liberal abuses to the public. It’s as important now as ever. And these students do it because they have a love of our nation and freedom and frankly for you, Mr. President. If you keep defending us, we’ll keep defending you. [Hayden leaves podium]
