He discusses President Trump's efforts to restructure the federal government, the work of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and argues that exposing government waste and bureaucracy is essential to restoring accountability in Washington.

Good morning, CPAC. How's everybody today?
You're looking beautiful, and I tell you what, honey, I've been here several days.
The energy and the excitement in this room is unbelievable.
It's hard to believe that a year has gone.
Thank God.
We lived with four years of a president who tried to shove down our throats Marxism
and the moral decay, the fabric of our country.
And here we are.
Fast forward.
We got President Donald J. Trump.
We have two genders.
We have DEI gone.
We have equality over equity, border crossings down 93%.
And we have a world stage where America is now respected and feared.
So what do you think?
Give me your two seconds on this.
Pretty good.
Next question.
How is everybody?
Come on, let's go.
It's exciting times, is it not?
Well, I was thinking about something about this cabinet that we have now.
And I thought to myself, we really have a cabinet that looks like America here.
First of all, you have a president that knows how many grandchildren he has,
and he loves every one of them.
That helped.
But let's look at this cabinet.
We have the first...
I'm sounding like a liberal.
We have the first person of color as the FBI director.
Have you heard them say that?
No.
First Cuban American as secretary of state.
The first gay secretary of the treasury.
The first straight secretary of transportation in four years.
We have one of the highest ranking African Americans, Elon Musk.
We have the first hillbilly vice president, J.D. Vance.
We have the first secretary of defense who isn't 114 years old.
We have women in the cabinet who are proud to be called women and know what the hell a woman is.
And then there's Donald Trump, who's on course of being the greatest president,
not in modern history, all history.
Look what he's done in four weeks.
Bravo, bravo.
Give a round of applause.
And one other thing about Donald Trump.
I told Donald Trump this at a Hanukkah party a few years ago.
He's the greatest friend Israel's ever had.
And so are you, by the way.
And I want to thank you for that.
He's the greatest friend Jews have ever had.
So we have the first Jewish president in American history, too.
Looks like America, that cabinet.
So speaking of that, first of all, I want to do a real sincere shout out
to Mercy and Max Lab because their steadfast support of Israel
is seen throughout this conference and day in and day out at CPAC.
So we really need to thank them for that.
It's really, really huge.
You know, there used to be a time that depravity,
murder, brutality was not acceptable to either party when Republicans
and Democrats alike were determined to eradicate the enemy.
But here we are after an October 7th where we really learned
what today's Democrat Party is.
It's the Republican Party.
It's conservatives.
It's Jews.
It's Christians who really care about what's going on in Israel
and are appalled at the heinous acts that happened on October 7th.
It's the Republicans.
It's the conservatives.
It's Donald J. Trump who have said Israel must conquer.
Israel must win.
Israel must do what it needs to do, not just to defend,
but to go on offense and get rid of the enemy.
I just want to remind everybody that a year ago,
I interviewed the father of a hostage victim at that time,
Sagid Dekelhen, and here we are a year later.
He's out.
But honey, I want you to talk about what we saw the other day
with four bodies coming out of Israel
and the joy that was exhibited by the Palestinians in Gaza
as these coffins were shown.
These bastards must be eradicated.
It's that simple.
You don't take a nine-month-old baby and a four-year-old little boy
and their mother and torture them,
strangle those kids with your bare hands,
chop up their bodies so nobody they think will notice.
Remember when that mother was being pulled with her kids
and she knew people doing this are subhumans.
They are rabid.
They're not animals.
Animals don't do that.
Donald Trump knows this.
These are the same people who attacked us on 9-11.
These are the same people who decapitated 70 black Christians
in a Congo church 48 hours ago.
All of them.
This is the enemy.
It's not about land.
It's not about borders.
It's not about any of that.
They seek to extinguish us.
These Islamist terrorists,
and we're going to have to extinguish them
before they even have a shot at extinguishing us.
Another thing, constitutional crisis.
Give me a break.
The Democrat party that hates the founders,
that is pushing CRT,
the 1619 project,
that tells us the Constitution is too old and too white.
The Democrat party that doesn't believe
in the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, 9th, 10th, 14th amendments.
The Democrat party that doesn't believe
in separation of powers.
We don't need lectures from them
about the Constitution of the United States.
That's number one.
Number two, you activist judges,
which are basically slip and fall,
ambulance chasing lawyers in black robes.
That's what they are.
You either act like judges or get the hell off the bench.
You are the people destroying the Constitution.
Presently, the United States has a right
to make personnel decisions.
He has a right to make budget decisions.
He has a right to restructure the bureaucracy.
You know, I happen to have here a copy of the Constitution.
Not that you need it.
I mean, you really do pretty much know it.
This little baby sticks with me all the time.
And let me tell you something.
You know how many federal district judges
are in this Constitution?
None.
They're created by Congress.
That's right.
So Congress has the power
to make decisions over the executive branch.
I thought it was separation of powers.
Judges have the power to tell the CDC
what to put on their website.
How's that separation of powers?
We have a big problem in this country.
We can't decide it for a constitutional republic,
a federal republic,
a representative republic,
or a republic at all.
And the truth is that if they have their way,
the people are worried about the Constitution.
First of all, what Constitution are they worried about?
The old Soviet Constitution?
Because they're sure as hell not worried
about our Constitution.
That I can tell you.
You can't be a Marxist and Islamist,
a radical leftist,
and support the Constitution of the United States.
You just can't.
What Elon Musk,
with the leadership of Donald Trump,
have uncovered is a government within a government.
It's not just waste, fraud, and abuse.
It is a subterranean government
that is spending trillions of dollars
to push a radical left agenda.
And we have no help from you and the media
who are attacking the very people
who are uncovering the bloat,
and the spending,
and the waste,
and the criminality.
Why the hell aren't you uncovering it?
That's your damn job.
