Speaking at the opening session of the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) on Thursday morning, Vice President JD Vance <www.foxnews.com/category/person/jd-vance> touted the Trump administration’s success in its first month of restoring “safety and prosperity” to the American people, which he said is the president’s “fundamental goal.”
A week after his fiery speech to European political leader <www.foxnews.com/politics/vance-eviscerates-soviet-style-european-censorship-address-munich-security-conference>s in Munich, Vance spoke before a packed house at National Harbor, Maryland, in a conversation-style address with a CPAC organizer.
He said Trump recognizes that “we have a historical mandate on a few issues,” which he said were cracking down on illegal immigration, restoring American energy dominance and cutting the rampant waste of taxpayer dollars through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) <www.foxnews.com/politics/wasteful-dangerous-doges-top-5-most-shocking-revelations>. He quipped that in his first 30 days in office, President Donald Trump signed “more executive orders than CNN has viewers.”
Addressing the migrant crisis <www.foxnews.com/category/us/immigration>, Vance said: “We have to secure the southern border and thanks to [Trump’s] actions, border crossings are down well over 90%, and we’re just getting started.”
On the heels of the administration designating several migrant criminal groups — including Tren de Aragua and MS-13 — as foreign terrorist organizations <www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-admin-reveals-list-cartels-gangs-designated-terrorist-organizations>, Vance said Trump’s message to migrant criminals is “get the hell out of our country because your free ride is over… you’re not welcome.”
Regarding American energy and the economy, Vance said Trump “recognizes that we have to really unlock the engine of American growth.”
“We’ve got to get back to having a growing economy that creates good jobs and high wages for the American people and a lot of that goes back to ‘drill, baby, drill,’” he said as the crowd broke into applause.
