CPAC Now: America Uncanceled with Matt and Mercedes Schlapp

This episode of America Uncanceled marks the release of CPAC’s 52nd Congressional Ratings Scorecard, and Illinois Representative Mary Miller, who sports a stellar 100% conservative rating from CPAC, celebrates the release with Matt Schlapp.

Miller found the CPAC ratings useful in her own primary race to demonstrate the liberal character of her opponent to her very conservative district. Constituents across America are finding these ratings helpful to reveal the true character of their elected officials. The ratings are important to hold Republican representatives accountable to advancing conservative principles.

Miller, with her impeccable voting record, exemplifies the ideal Republican representative, but she refuses to rest on her laurels. She recognizes that there is a great deal of work to be done. Miller especially advocates for the country to return to God and traditional values. She urges a renewed respect for the family and support for small businesses and the agriculture sector, which comprise the backbone of the American economy and culture.

“Our nation needs to return to God,” Miller comments. “When you take God out of society, you have chaos.”

She urges average Americans to become active in politics because being active in politics is being active in the future of the country. She assures Americans that they have power that should be used for good, “Our government was founded of the people, by the people, and for the people. So, the power is with the people. They need to hold their elected officials accountable.”

Dr. Marina Hofman, President of Partners for Family Values and author of Women in the Bible: Small Group Bible Study, and Mercedes Schlapp talk about the place of faith and faith-filled people in America today.

As young people increasingly suffer from depression, anxiety, and feelings of isolation and as the opposition to people of faith grows, the influence of faith becomes all that more important. Hofman understood this firsthand. After a traumatic experience and after experiencing feelings of depression and isolation during the pandemic, she started a small discussion group for Christian women, and when the monkeypox scare threatened to shut down here group, she became more determined than ever to maintain the community she had created of fellow Christians.

On the heightened importance of faith right now, Hofman says, “These are dark times. These are hard times. I don’t what hope there could be if its not our hope in the Lord that the Lord enables us to make a difference and goes before us.”

Hofman’s book is meant to present the stories of brave women in the Bible, such as that of the midwives in Egypt as told in Exodus, as inspiration for women today to holdfast to their faith in the midst of trials and tribulations.

“We know that what we believe is the right decision, and these forces around us are telling us to go against our values. So, observing how they stand up for what’s right and how God opens amazing doors and blesses them is an encouragement to women of faith today,” Hofman explains.

She encourages Christian women today to find the women in the Bible a source of inspiration to be a positive force in their families and workplaces.

There’s a star-studded red carpet on this episode of America Uncanceled as CPAC participates in the premiere of Sound of Freedom movie by Angel Studios. The event was also a kick-off for the CPAC Center for Combatting Human Trafficking that will use the CPAC rating system to hold legislator’s accountable in the fight against human trafficking.

The movie, Sound of Freedom, tells the story of a federal agent who, touched by the atrocities of human trafficking, embarks on a mission to rescue child victims of the horrible system. It reveals the dark details of the crime of human trafficking in a compelling story.

Director Alejandro Gómez Monteverde describes the movie as a call to action and awareness, “I like to make movies that begin when the movie ends.” He added, “Creating awareness is the number one step.”

For producer Eduardo Verástegui, the movie was personal for him. His home country Mexico is one of the most involved countries in human trafficking, and when making the movie he imagined how he would feel if his own son was stripped from him. He realized he would want everything possible to be done to rescue him. With this movie, he calling everyone to preventive action, “Don’t wait for this tragedy to come to your house to wake up. Wake up now and prevent other parents from missing their children because God’s children are not for sale, and that’s my motivation. I hope this film will touch millions of hearts, and I hope when they leave here, they will ask themselves, ‘What can I do to end this terrible reality?’”

The makers of the movie, Angel Studios, is reliant on donations to make inspirational and meaningful movies that go against the grain of Hollywood.

On this episode of America Uncanceled, Stephanie Elad shares story of her fight for education reform with Mercedes Schlapp. Elad’s story begins simply as a concerned parent who initially voiced her disappointment at prolonged mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic. She and other parents were dismissed by the school board and encouraged not to contribute to school board meetings. It was then she realized that the government had taken too much control over education to blatantly tell parents that they have no place in the process.

“It’s not okay to treat parents as an intrusion in the children’s education and in their community. Long story short, I ended up deciding to run,” Elad explained.

She ran and won a seat on her local school board in Frisco, Texas on the commitment to transparency and supporting parents. Her tenure has resulted in a bathroom policy setting up protections for gender separated restrooms. Elad is continuing to tackle woke culture pervading education leadership and working to reform public education from business-minded to student-minded.

On this episode of America Uncanceled, Matt Schlapp talks with President of Media Research Center L. Brent Bozell III about the Department of Homeland Security targeting of conservative and Christian organizations.

Media Research Center investigated DHS grants to several public organizations through the Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Program. MRC heard from one recipient, the University of Dayton, that the institution received federal funding to support a seminar that educated on the danger of conservative groups. One graphic used in the seminar organized groups into a pyramid of extremity. The pyramid linked organizations like CPAC, MRC, PragerU, FOX News, The Heritage Foundation, Christian Broadcasting, and more with Nazi and far-right terrorist groups.

“I’ve asked lawyers, ‘Is there possible criminal activity here?’, and there absolutely is,” Bozell said. “It’s criminal for the government to prevent you from having freedom of speech. That’s precisely what’s happening.”

The program is clearly another instance of the weaponization of the federal government to violate the free speech of certain individuals. Bozell urges conservatives to reach out to take action against this by reaching out to their representatives. He demands that the Republican leadership listen to their concerned constituent and do everything they can to bring about justice and end to the weaponization of government.

On this episode of America Uncanceled, Matt Schlapp gives his take on Target’s new pride collection in anticipation of pride month in June. The collection features a Satanic designer, transgender clothing and products geared toward children, and a display advertising the products at the front entrance of the store. Target’s new product collection is another gross example of the woke nature of corporations and well-known brands.

“I think there’s been nothing more appalling than seeing Target aiming and pushing this whole idea of transgenderism and gender confusion on our kids to the point where the kid’s sections at Target don’t just have stuffed animals and puzzles and toys for your kids but they actually have apparel for kids that want to transition from one gender to the other,” Schlapp stated. “It was particularly alarming the other day to learn that a Satanist has been involved in designing a whole product line at Target.”

CPAC is sending a letter to the Target CEO, in response, calling for the company to reform itself and reevaluate its approach to selling products to children and families. Schlapp calls for conservatives to boycott Target in the mean time and instead, shop small stores that align with our values. Target is joining the list of companies, including Nike and Bud Light, that conservatives are calling out for their extreme woke policies.

CPAC board member and former Deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland joins Matt Schlapp on this episode of America Uncanceled to address the Durham report and its revelations of election interference.

On May 12, Special Counsel John Durham, published a report compiling instances of election interference from the Obama administration and the intelligence community. The report indicates that the Obama administration, including Joe Biden, coordinated with the FBI to surveil and spread misinformation about Donald Trump in the 2016 election. Further, evidence has been brought to light that the CIA deliberately ignored and actively covered up Hunter Biden’s unethical dealings for the 2020 election.

“It’s right, plain in your face. The bureaucrats, particularly the intelligence community, its a coup, and they’ve taken charge, and they don’t really care what you think about it,” McFarland remarks.

She warns that now the bureaucrats in the deep state will double down on their actions to protect themselves from prosecution should a new administration and new Attorney General assume office in 2024. Having been wrongly accused herself and her savings drained in drawn-out legal battles all to implicate President Trump in manufactured crimes, McFarland hopes the individuals behind this corruption are held to justice and the corruption is put to end.

Senior writer at Townhall Julio Rosas joins Matt Schlapp on this episode of America Uncanceled to explain his testimony in House of Representative hearings on leftist violence.

Rosas was called upon to testify before the House Hearing on Left-Wing Violence for his reporting on the frontlines of Antifa riots. In his testimony, Rosas asserted that, based on his numerous firsthand observations, Antifa is a structured and coordinated organization.

“The reason why I was brought as a witness was to talk about the organized structure of Antifa and its cells, what they do, how they communicate, how they carry out their attacks because riots are inherently chaotic and disorderly, that’s kind of a hallmark of it, but there can be some structure to it in terms of it being planned ahead and instigating it, and that’s exactly what we saw in many places across the country,” Rosas reports.

Democrat Representative Daniel Goldman belittled Rosas’ testimony and his occupation as a journalist for reporting findings contrary to those of the FBI director in stating that Antifa is an organized, violent, and very real movement. Goldman’s dismissive attitude toward Antifa encapsulates the Left’s entire approach, which has consisted in repeated denial of the violent reality of the radical organization that is responsible for many, if not most, of the riots Americans have witnessed in recent years.

Rosas remains undeterred but rather more determined in exposing the truth about Antifa with his new book, Fiery (But Mostly Peaceful), that documents the riots of 2020 and the mainstream media coverage, or lack thereof, of the violent events of that year.
