CPAC Now: America Uncanceled with Matt and Mercedes Schlapp

This episode of America Uncanceled features CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp’s speech at CPAC Hungary 2023. Hungary was the perfect, welcoming place for a conservative conference. The country has implemented trailblazing policies discouraging abortion and encouraging family and childrearing, which have enabled Hungary to increase its birth rate and work force while standing firm on the sovereignty and security of its borders. Hungary and its leaders have received endless backlash for these policies from the Left, but have remained steadfast as a model for conservatism in the modern world.

Schlapp addresses the Hungarian people with gratitude and those on the Left who are destroying the world and relentlessly attacking conservative principles with criticism and a battle cry in his remarks at CPAC Hungary 2023.

“We will not allow you to separate us from the plan that was written in the heavens thousands of years ago for each and every one of our lives to be on the earth at this moment standing up for what is true. We will not allow you to stop us,” he declared.

He issued determined cries to defeat the Left in its attempts to corrupt our children and education and destroy the very foundations of civilization in life, faith, family, and the sovereignty of individual nations. He apologizes to the European audience for the poor image the Biden administration is projecting of Americans internationally. Schlapp assures the audience that that image is not an accurate representation of most Americans. In reality, he asserts that many Americans relate to Hungarians and share their valuing of faith, family, religion, and culture. He calls for Americans and Hungarians and all conservatives around the world to band together against the assaults from the woke Left.

On this episode of America Uncanceled, Texas Representative Roger Williams talks border security with Mercedes Schlapp.

The border is bombarded with illegal immigrants, Russians and Chinese, and drug and human trafficking cartels. Williams knows this firsthand as a Texan. For the sake of the people of Texas, and all Americans, he asks with the Biden administration to reconsider their open border policies and the expiration of Title 42 on Thursday.

“It was a Trump policy that worked, dealt with asylum, dealt with health issues and so forth. So, it’s pretty much a disaster. I’d like to see President Biden sleep on it a little bit and retract what he’s going to do,” Williams said.

The border needs attention as the humanitarian crisis there grows, and grows so that the dangers are no longer confined to the migrants or the physical border but are affecting the entire United States with the fentanyl epidemic and human trafficking coming across the border into every single state. William laments the Biden administration’s inaction on these issues and its promise to veto House legislation, Secure the Border Act, that would end the catch and release program and bring more troops to the border.

Williams also expresses his frustration with the Biden administration’s other policies on green energy initiatives, which are eliminating competition and forcing ineffective products on the market. He looks to the 2024 presidential election with hope that Americans will see the stark contrast between the prosperity of the Trump administration and the incompetency of the Biden administration.

On this episode of America Uncanceled, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum talks with Matt Schlapp at CPAC Hungary.

Santorum praises Hungary for its dedication to conservative principles.

“The people here are great. They love Americans, and they fight for conservative values here and you don’t see that very often in Europe,” he observed.

He has found like minds there where their family-friendly policies have decreased abortion rates and perpetuated the country’s rich, Judeo-Christian history and culture. Hungary is currently majority Catholic with strong Mass attendance rates and that strong faith-filled environment is influencing the entire culture.

Santorum sees the cooperation between elected officials and citizens in Hungary to construct a healthy society and culture as an example for the United States where the conservative movement has largely been grassroots with little support from elected officials.

“The only reason conservatives, now, are standing up is because the people are standing up,” Santorum remarked on the state of the conservative movement in the United States.

Santorum’s speech at CPAC Hungary elaborates on the state of the American conservatism and the ways Americans can learn from Hungarians.

The CEO and president of Concerned Women for American, Penny Nance, joins Mercedes Schlapp on this episode of America Uncanceled to address the local approaches to abortion in the aftermath of the overturning of Roe v. Wade at the federal level.

The issue is rising to the forefront of local politics just across the Potomac from Washington, D.C. in Alexandria, Virginia. The Alexandria city council recently addressed and approved a resolution allowing broader zoning for abortion clinics in the city.

“They changed the [zoning] laws so that you can now in the city of Alexandria place an abortion clinic in a commercial or mixed use space that would allow any kind of like a minute clinic, an urgent care. So, the kind of place you’d go to get a flu shot, now, can have an abortion clinic. So, moms who are coming back from a hard day at work and got their kids with them from, you know, a soccer practice going into the local grocery store, may have to walk past an abortion clinic and see these wounded young women coming out, so fragile, so hurting, coming out of these abortion clinics,” Nance stated.

Nance spoke at the city council meeting where the item was voted on and passed. She spoke up against the resolution in the interest of protecting women and unborn children from the atrocities of abortion and families from encountering the horror of abortion on a routine basis when simply frequenting grocery stores or shopping centers.

“We want to protect women; We want to help mothers, and we are no longer going to stand by as you destroy babies, and bringing more abortion clinics into a city that has two is certainly not the answer to the ills of the city. It’s simple for them. They can wash their hands of a woman in trouble and walk away, but why don’t we actually do something that helps them,” Nance queried.

Nance points to the rezoning of abortion clinics as a clear, improper prioritizing of municipal issues favoring the facilitating of the loaded political issue of abortion over solutions to the spike in violent crime afflicting the city.

While on the show, Nance additionally commented on the transgender movement and the reshaping of the media. She demands that Democrats come together with Republicans in common sense measures to protect women’s sports from the invasion of biological males. In the realm of the media, she foresees a rise of outlets like Newsmax over the older outlets of Fox News and CNN with the exit of Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon from the channels, respectively. Nance is looking forward to bringing the conservative message, herself, over seas as part of CPAC Hungary May 4-5.

Professional skateboarder, Taylor Silverman, speaks with Mercedes Schlapp on the infiltration of biological males disguised as transgender females in women’s sports and other areas constructed exclusively for women. Silverman and Schlapp’s conversation comes after Bud Light, Nike, and other companies selected a transgender female Dylan Mulvaney as their spokesman.

Silverman and countless other women lost out on accolades, sponsorships, and pay to transgender females who placed first in major competitions and qualifiers. After experiencing this in three different settings and placing second to three different individuals, Silverman started to ask questions. She found that one judge she reached out to actually agreed with her but was unwilling to voice his perspective. As for Red Bull, the sponsor of the competitions, the company ignored Silverman’s inquiries into and concerns about their transgender policy. Instead, Silverman received an onslaught of abuse and bullying online for standing up for herself and for all the women competing in a still male dominated sport.

“I think it’s actually really important to speak up because the longer that people remain silent, the longer the lie can go one that you’re not the majority, those of us who have common sense about this issue. I understand the fear, but also I think the fear of what will happen if we don’t use our voice on this issue should be greater than the fear of losing bad friends, or losing a sponsorship, or being bullied on the internet,” Silverman states.

She believes the issue really should be a non-partisan issue and laments that the Democrat Party adamantly makes it into a political issue. For Silverman, the issue of transgender ideology is harming both women and children and encroaching on the spaces and rights that women fought to have created to allow for their success. She hopes to embolden other women to join her in defending their opportunities and safety.

Mercedes Schlapp sits down with Director General for the Center of Human Rights and CPAC Hungary organizer, Miklos Szantho, at CPAC DC 2023 on this episode of America Uncanceled.

CPAC has expanded to a broad international footprint in recent years. Hungary is the newest member of the international CPAC family. The first CPAC Hungary was held last year and the second event is coming up in May.

Hungary and its Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, who spoke at CPAC Texas 2022, is leading Europe and even the world in effective conservative governing. Szantho boasts that Hungary has seen increased marriage and birth rates thanks to policies that incentivize stable family dynamics without any alterations to abortion laws.

“Thanks to this idea of welfare society and the very generous family allowances via the taxation system for the families, the number of marriages doubled compared to a situation what he had ten years ago," Szantho stated on the benefits of the family-friendly society Hungary has strived to create.

Hungary has encountered enemies to their progress, however, in European Union bureaucrats in Brussels. Szantho calls Brussels Europe’s version of the deep state, in which, unelected bureaucrats are making broad policy decisions and consolidating power away from individual countries and into the central governing body of the European Union.

Szantho explains, “You do have your own deep state here in D.C. We do have our own deep state in Brussels. We are trying to fight for our sovereignty, the member states’ rights, the member states’ sovereignty, against Brussels, against the European Union.” He continues, “They are trying to absorb power from member states and that is the fight we are fighting on a daily basis.”

Hungary is proud to be leading this fight and to stand as a shining city on a hill for the rest of the world. CPAC is likewise proud to partner with such an exemplary conservative nation and honored to return there next month for the second CPAC Hungary. CPAC Hungary is taking place May 4-5 in Budapest.

CPAC released its 52nd Congressional Ratings Scorecard on Monday, and Thomas Bradbury, Director of Advocacy and Policy, joins Matt and Mercedes Schlapp on this episode of America Uncanceled to discuss the results of the ratings.

The primary finding of the ratings was the divide between establishment Republicans and conservatives in Congress. The divide comes through in the voting records of Republican Congressmen that the ratings analyze. The ratings looked at issues like gun control, the Marriage Equality Bill, and the budget proposed by Nancy Pelosi in a lame duck session and found a shocking number of Republicans, led largely by Mitch McConnell, Adam Kissinger, and Liz Chaney, who voted in favor.

“When you start looking at the ratings, there’s, sure, a really good group of strong conservatives getting in the 90s, but there’s really a lot that leave you wanting more. There’s a lot in the 50s and then, as Matt said, it seems like it used to be, even five years ago, that you’d have some Democrats in the 40s and the 50s, but the people in the 40s and 50s are within our own party,” Bradbury observed.

The disunity of the Republican Party is disheartening for conservative Americans as they watch the Democrats unite and vote in lockstep to advance their agenda. That’s not to say that the Democrat Party does not have its differences, but when necessary they all fall in line behind the issue at hand. Republicans have yet to master this strategy, but Americans can be optimistic thanks to the growing number of steadfast conservative leaders, like Jim Jordan, in Congress.

On this episode of America Uncanceled, Dr. Brooke Miller, owner of Ginger Hill Angus, speaks with Matt and Mercedes Schlapp about the Beef Initiative Micro Summit.

Miller has been a lifelong cattle rancher, beginning his career as a child on his family’s ranch. He is not just any rancher but one dedicated to naturally grown beef. He is hosting the Beef Initiative Micro Summit to encourage and inform ranchers on natural methods of producing beef and of the economic viability of small ranches amidst mass ranching for corporate purposes.

“The Beef Initiative is basically a movement to bypass the industrial food complex and connect farmers and ranchers directly with consumers, and consumers will get a better product. They’ll get a safer product. They’ll be able to look the growers of their food in the eye and have a conversation and find out exactly how that animal was treated, what that animal was given, and how that animal was grown out,” Miller explains. “It will hopefully restore the health and wellness of our population if we’re able to successfully bypass the industrial food complex and restore the economic viability of ranching.”

Miller attributes the processes of mass production of meat for corporations to many common health problems afflicting Americans. The chemicals injected into mass produced meat can be linked to health issues like diabetes and obesity. The mRNA COVID-19 vaccine is of particular concern for many that an injection will be developed for animals that will then be passed on to the human consumer of the animal. The Missouri legislature is proposing a bill that supports the Beef Initiative’s efforts for transparency in meat production by requiring the disclosure of gene therapy or injections such as the mRNA vaccine in meat.

The Beef Initiative advocates for healthy meats grown and sold locally and on a smaller scale to support small, family ranches and farms. The Beef Initiative Micro Summit, taking place on Saturday, is bringing awareness to the issues of America’s food supply while bringing together those who contribute to it for open discussion of their challenges.
