CPAC is 50 years old.
In 1974 a small gathering of conservatives listened to Ronald Reagan as he gave the inaugural keynote speech in which the Presidential hopeful used it to share his vision for the country.
For the last 10 of those years Matt Schlapp has been at the helm of CPAC as it has grown and expanded beyond the borders of America and become global.
Matt joins us to discuss what this journey has been like, how and why it has expanded internationally to Brazil, Israel, Hungary and Japan to name but a few.
What is its relationship with the Republican Party who has a difficult association with Trump and where does media fit into CPAC’s vision?
With the collapse of Fox and the rise of alternative media Matt tells us how CPAC is harnessing this new digital landscape.
On June 19, 2014 the board of the American Conservative Union unanimously voted to elect Matt Schlapp as the ninth Chairman of the nation’s oldest and largest conservative grassroots organization. From 2001 to 2005, he served as President Bush’s political director during the re-election and previously as his deputy political director. During the 2000 presidential campaign he was a Regional Political Director with oversight of Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
Matt left the White House to run the Washington, DC offices of Koch Industries, a company headquartered in his hometown and known for their philanthropy to free market causes. Matt's Congressional experience began during the historic Republican wave of 1994 where he served Representative Todd Tiahrt (R-KS) as Chief of Staff for 5 years. During his tenure, Tiahrt averaged an ACU rating of 98%.
Matt’s political activism first took root at the University of Notre Dame, where he started a conservative student magazine. He is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame (B.A.) and Wichita State University (M.P.A.)
Matt and his wife Mercedes have five daughters.
Founded in 1974, CPAC is the nation’s oldest conservative grassroots organization and seeks to preserve and protect the values of life, liberty, and property for every American.

Tonight it is wonderful to have my good friend Scott Klusendorf join Hearts of Oak to discuss the political divide on the most contentious issue of all, abortion.
The latest legal ruling in Texas allows an abortion when no heartbeat is detected, which usually occurs around 6 weeks, but the Democrats are desperate to remove this restriction.
What is it about ending the life of another human being that gets the left so excited?
Scott is the founder and President of Life Training Institute and is without a doubt the best pro life speaker I have come across and someone you do not want to miss.
Scott Klusendorf is the President of Life Training Institute and he travels throughout the United States and Canada training pro-life advocates to persuasively defend their views in the public square. He contends that the pro-life message can compete in the marketplace of ideas if properly understood and properly articulated.
A passionate and engaging speaker, Scott has appeared on numerous nationally syndicated Christian programs and has participated in numerous debates at the collegiate level.
Scott has debated or lectured to student groups at over 80 colleges and universities, including Stanford, USC, UCLA, Johns Hopkins, Loyola Marymount Law School, West Virginia Medical School, MIT, U.S. Air Force Academy, Cal-Tech, UC Berkeley, and University of North Carolina.
Each year thousands of students at Protestant and Catholic high schools are trained by Scott to make a persuasive case for life as part of their worldview training prior to college, and he’s provided that same training to students at Summit Ministries and Focus on the Family Institute.
Scott is an author and has also published articles on pro-life apologetics in many different journals.
Life Training Institute (LTI) exists for one purpose: to empower others with the knowledge and conviction necessary to make a case for life that changes hearts and minds. They have trained thousands over the years to make a case for life based on science and philosophy, and they’re equipped to do it in one-minute or less. https://prolifetraining.com/

Lewis Brackpool returns to Hearts of Oak to give us his analysis of the past weeks doom and gloom in the news, articles and we have a look at what he's been up to on his social media.
There is plenty to get stuck into including...
- No meat, no dairy and three outfits a year: Welcome to Sadiq Khan’s plan for London.
- Cash payments in the UK rise for first time in 10 years.
- Lewis' recent interview with Matt Le Tissier.
- Update on Andrew Bridgen MP's letter to PM Rishi Sunak regarding the Pfizer vaccine.
- People injured or bereaved by Covid vaccines ‘speak in code online over censorship fears.
- 'A cavity is not a vagina': Trans woman refused healthcare in France.
- Police officers and social workers raise fears that more than 500 children from Oldham were being sexually abused last year.
- Trans activists try to cancel Richard Ayoade and Jonathan Ross over support for Graham Linehan.
Lewis Brackpool is an independent journalist, broadcaster, commentator, reporter and co-founder of GritNews.
His writing focus is politics, freedom of speech, news and current affairs.
Here he discusses his journey into journalism.
"I’ve been in the alternative media for a couple of years. I was previously with another company, a Canadian-based company called Rebel News.
I started there after being made redundant from my previous job as a flight attendant - or a ‘trolley dolly’ as they say!
After that, I thought, ‘Right, I want to get back into politics’. I used to study it for a bit, but my views were completely different to what we were being taught back in the days of 6th Form, with all the programming that they were pushing on people, so I decided to make a YouTube channel.
I did that for a year, built up some contacts, networked, really pushed out my viewpoint on various subjects, and then applied for a course to report on Rebel News."
Lewis is a rare thing among journalists as he brings uncensored, unbiased and unique information all delivered in his own imitable style.

The failings of our institutions to tackle the grooming gang culture that exists in some Pakistani Muslim communities in the UK continue apace.
This time it is the police who have failed, for nearly seven years they have been investigating themselves to decide if one of the 43 police forces within the UK failed in their duty of care to the girls being trafficked and raped.
The police force that was being investigated was South Yorkshire, In the end they found themselves not guilty.
This is what happens when self regulation is the norm, wrongdoing is simply covered up and the public are told to "move on, nothing to see here".
We will look at this cover up report and at the recent half apologies from other police forces as we face more and more cases of these men being prosecuted.
It seems like there is no end to this abuse of our children and to the desire of our institutions to cover it up.
