Host of WarRoom Steve Bannon addressed the international crowd of conservatives at CPAC Hungary 2024 via recorded message with high praise for Hungary’s strong conservative culture and leadership in the international sovereignty movement.

He described Hungary as “a nation that is a leader and an individual that is not just a leader in Viktor Orbán but inspiring young leaders throughout the world to step up, and that’s why we can’t thank you enough for what you’re doing in this fight.”

With America falling from glory as the Left imprisons and bankrupts President Donald Trump and his political allies, including Bannon himself, the free world needs a new leader, and Hungary has risen to the occasion. Hungary under the guidance of Viktor Orbán has demonstrated that conservative principles in action work and that it’s possible to stand up to globalism of the Left.

Bannon had these encouraging words for the conservative movement, “If we don’t quit, we win. If we don’t quit, we win, and they will do everything to make sure you quit.”

CPAC is so much more than a yearly conference. It’s an entire movement of passionate patriots defending freedom all year long all over the world.

Our movement is made up of conservative thinkers, elected officials, grassroots activists, and regular Americans just living their lives. Our efforts combined spread the message of conservative values, which is that we flourish when freedom reigns, the rule of law is respected, and God is at the center of our lives.

As an organization, we work to defend life, liberty, and property for all Americans through advocacy. We also empower our grassroots activists to do so in their everyday lives in their churches, families, and friend groups.

The CPAC annual conferences are just the launch pad to take the conservative message everywhere. They are meant to invigorate patriots to go out into the world, outside of conservative circles and share the truth and beauty of freedom with everyone they meet, and with CPAC international conferences, the movement is now global, rallying grassroots conservatives in all four corners of the world.

The CPAC movement is a movement of strong and determined patriots who love their country and are out in the world every single day working to defend liberty from the evil forces of the Left.

As Americans become more-interested in the choices they face during this election cycle, one thing remains clear: economics is on the mind of everyone - America's small business owners, and the working families they depend on. The anemic economic growth, accompanied as it has been by a massive run up in costs, is front and center for voters each and every day--and while many understand the role that federal regulatory costs can play in this, few understand the actual numbers. And the comparison between this administration and the previous one couldn't be more stark.

Scenario 1: Modest Growth in Regulatory Costs

From 2017 to 2021, under the Trump Presidency, the cost of regulations to the American economy increased modestly from $2.25 trillion to $2.28 trillion, representing an annual growth rate of approximately 0.33%. This was an unprecedented near-stability in direct federal regulatory costs over the four year term of a president, unseen since the rise of the modern regulatory state (during the Obama presidency, the regulatory state grew by 9.53% annually, which caused the cost of regulations to double from $1.2 trillion in January of 2009 to $2.25 trillion in January of 2017 - 9.53% is 28 times higher than .33%!).

In contrast, consider if Hillary Clinton had been elected President in 2016 - assuming for a moment that she had merely stuck to Barack Obama's regulatory tempo (increasing regulatory costs by 9.53% each year), federal regulations would have cost $3.24 trillion by January of 2021, $4.35 trillion by this point (assuming she had been re-elected in 2020 and the tempo of regulatory growth remained unchanged), and would be at $7.35 trillion by 2030.

On the other hand, had the modest growth rate under President Trump been allowed to continue, projections indicate that regulatory costs would have only reached approximately $2.31 trillion by 2025 and $2.35 trillion by 2030. At first glance, this growth might seem relatively manageable. However, considering the broader economic impact, the scenario becomes more alarming.

Using Dawson and Seater’s $19 multiplier for indirect opportunity costs, the economic implications of this growth are significant:

By 2025: With direct costs at $2.31 trillion, the indirect opportunity cost would be: 2.31×19=43.89 trillion dollars

By 2030: With direct costs at $2.35 trillion, the indirect opportunity cost would be: 2.35×19=44.65 trillion dollars

These figures underscore the far-reaching impact of even modest increases in regulatory costs. The opportunity costs reflect potential economic activities foregone due to the regulatory burden, including innovation, business expansion, and job creation.

Scenario 2: Rapid Acceleration of Regulatory Costs Under Joe Biden

In a more dramatic scenario, regulatory costs increased from $2.28 trillion in January 2021 to $3.58 trillion by April 2024, translating to an annual growth rate of 14.06%! If this rapid growth rate continues, the projections indicate:

By 2025: Regulatory costs will be approximately $3.95 trillion.

By 2030: Regulatory costs would soar to approximately $7.52 trillion (slightly higher than they would have been under an Obama/Clinton regulatory tempo).

Applying the $19 multiplier to these projections reveals a staggering economic impact:

By 2025: With direct costs at $3.95 trillion, the indirect opportunity cost would be: 3.95×19=75.05 trillion dollars

By 2030: With direct costs at $7.52 trillion, the indirect opportunity cost would be: 7.52×19=142.88 trillion dollars

These projections highlight the exponential increase in economic burden associated with rapid regulatory cost growth. The difference between the two scenarios is not merely in the trillions of dollars in direct costs but extends to hundreds of trillions in lost economic opportunities.

Conclusion

The contrast between the two approaches to regulation couldn't be more stark. Under one, recognizing the important role that regulatory costs play in suppressing economic growth, the economic stability of a modest, conservative approach to regulations saves the American economy $5.17 trillion in direct regulatory costs ($7.52 trillion minus $2.35 trillion) - and in terms of lost opportunity cost, the difference couldn't be more stark - a savings of almost $100 trillion in lost opportunity costs!

Preventing $100 trillion from being taken out of the American economy is the difference between life and death for the future of the United States. One path makes America an economic powerhouse, the other a vast wasteland where Americans will wonder "what could have been."

The Left has declared June ‘Pride Month’ and use it to promote all kinds of perverse ideologies to the entire country, but especially children. “It’s just become a desecration of society,” described Furlow. He breaks down how the whole concept is unbiblical and an attack on the country’s Christian foundation.

From the start, the premise of a month of pride is contrary to God’s call for humility. Furlow points out that pride is the trademark characteristic of the devil. It caused Satan’s downfall and man’s downfall. It is not something to be celebrated.

The LGBTQ community has further hijacked the rainbow, originally, a symbol of God’s promise of salvation and renewal, to represent their perverse celebration of pride.

“This whole pride thing is just very demonic. It’s unbiblical. The entire thing is just unbiblical,” said Furlow. “The main problem I have with it is that they’re coming after children.”

The Left is not content to just advertise the LGBTQ community but intent on taking it a step further to impose it on innocent children.
