SENATOR JASON ROY'S #CONSERVATIVERESISTANCE RALLY ~ MOBILE, ALABAMA "Hello, Alabama! It's tremendous to be here in Mobile with all of you amazing people. You know, I love Alabama. I love the spirit, I love the energy, and I love the enthusiasm. And let me tell you something, folks: there is light at the end of tunnel. When our Conservative Resistance wins - we are going to win so much, you're going to be sick of winning! We're going to bring back our jobs, we're going to secure our border, and we're going to take our country back! So get ready, Alabama, because together, we are going to achieve unbelievable things! But I need you to join me and join the Conservative Resistance now! Do you see what's happening in Europe?? The terrorists are out for blood and they're flooding every open society they can find to destroy. It's paramount that you get involved! You have to be aware that our country is under assault, folks. We have an absolute crisis at the border - a tremendous crisis like you've never seen before. Illegal immigrants are pouring in, bringing crime, bringing drugs, bringing terrible problems that we don't need. These third-world countries are not sending their best and brightest, let me tell you. You know, they don't like me telling the truth - you know that right?! They want me to lie and beat around the bush. The corporate media, the button-up, fake politicians, expect me to quell the truth and be all rosey when the truth is anything but! It's called the Extreme Political Correctness Regime. They want to silence me and silence you and prevent us from speaking out against their terrible policies and ridiculous lackeys. But I won't back down! I won't lie to you! I will tell you the truth. And the truth is this, folks. Our southern border is wide open. It's like the doors of heaven opening for innocent angels, except we don't have angels walking in, I'll tell you. Everyone is just walking right through - illegal immigrants, gang members, maybe even terrorists and radical Islamic extremists. Who knows what kind of bad dudes could be strolling across? It's scary! And what are the Democrat politicians, elitists, and special interests doing about it? Nothing! They're laughing at us while Americans are putting their lives at risk. Our leaders, the Democrat leaders and the leaders that want to play nicey-nice are incompetent clowns who can't negotiate their way out of a baby's playpen. They're all talk and no action. Just pathetic. But not me! Noo, not me. I'm a man of action. Relentless action. When this terrorist attack happened, I had a bill drafted so quick it will make your head spin. My bill, the American Travel Safety Act, will put a complete and total shutdown on people entering the United States from terrorist-infested Muslim-majority nations where Radical Islamic Jihadists extremism and extremists reside and foster! If you stick with me, let me tell you, I'm going to build a big, beautiful wall on the southern border. A real wall, not a leaky little fence like the one we have now. This will be an impenetrable wall that criminals and illegals will not be digging tunnels under or climbing over. We'll have it manned by Immigration officers and protected with the latest technology. No one is getting through our wall, you can believe me. Illegal immigration is straining our schools, hospitals and social safety nets. Americans are losing jobs to illegal workers will to undercut them on wages. Our tax dollars are going to support illegal immigrants instead of our own citizens. Does that make any sense to you? Of course not! You and me together, we're putting a stop to all of it. We'll triple the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and enable them to do their jobs properly. Any illegal immigrant caught will be swiftly deported - no more catch-and-release nonsense. If they're a criminal, they're gone immediately with no judges or court cases. Out! We're also ending the disastrous policies of the past that encouraged illegal entry and made a mockery of our laws. No more amnesties that tell the world America doesn't enforces its own rules. In 'Our' America, we have a straightforward policy: When you're in this country illegally, you have to go. It's as simple as that. This is a crisis, a true crisis threatening the security of every American. But you don't get it fixed by being politically correct and treating illegal immigrants with kid gloves. You get tough, you get smart, and you stop allowing yourselves to be taken for a ride by people who don't have your interests at heart. If you stick with me, believe me, we're securing that border and removing the illegals who snuck in. It's the first step in putting the national safety and well-being of American citizens first again. We're going to make this country great - safer and stronger than ever before!"

What a cool character! Welcome!

SENATOR JASON ROY INTRODUCES LEGISLATION TO PROTECT AMERICAN MINORS FROM "TRANSGENDER INSANITY" WASHINGTON, D.C. - Senator Jason Roy (R-SC) has authored two legislative initiatives tackling "transgender insanity" that is impacting American families. Liberal social and cultural engineering has challenged parental authority in schools and in doctor's offices to promote "gender-affirming" care on minors and promote of biological boys to compete against women in women's sports under the auspices of "transgenderism". Senator Roy releases the following statement on the release of the "Protecting Minors Act" and "No Trans In Sports Act": "The transgender ideology is taking over our kid's education. It's infected our children's classrooms. Parents must stay vigilant and contest the radicalization of our schools and the transgender ideological extremism overtaking of our society. We have to protect our children, mainly our daughters, from transgenderism rendering them irrelevant in women's sports. It's unfair to have boys competing in girl's sports and limiting the opportunities and excellence of our daughters around the country. We also cannot allow taxpayer funding of so-called 'gender-affirming' care that put our children through puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and sex-change surgeries at incredibly young ages. This transgender insanity must end and it's up to the God-fearing parents of this nation to take a stand against it."

Senator Jason Roy (R-SC) Speech at 2017 CPAC Convention "What a crowd here at CPAC, eh! What a crowd, indeed. I'm Jason Roy representing the great state of South Carolina. Let me just say, right off the bat, isn't it amazing? We have an anchor baby as president of the United States, can you believe it?! I'm shocked. But you know what, this is what we can expect with poor leadership and the collusion of the political establishment with the special interests and power brokers biting off more than you and I can chew. I know what it's like to be in the elite, I come from a family that has done very well for ourselves. I helped build a tremendous company, creating so many jobs. But you know what, CPAC, you can't do that anymore. Our small businesses are over-taxed, over-regulated. You can't rise up anymore. I'll tell you why? I used to be a big guy in business and when they get to that point, they want to squeeze the little guy. They forget where they came from and they collude with corrupt politicians to shuffle the deck and shut out the competition. Sorry to say it, but that's how it works. That's why we need to drain the swamp, folks! Drain the swamp! Another one of the major plans from these globalists want to do is give mass amnesty to these illegal aliens. How can we trust President Xi on immigration? Do they think we're stupid? We know who you want to let in. We let your mother in, she got over here and dropped you out on American soil, but it wasn't enough I guess. It wasn't enough, people. Now she wants to let in her cousins; her nieces and nephews, her MS13 gang-member friends. It's unbelievable, really, it's unbelievable. We're full! Shut the border down, we're at capacity. No more! Close the border and let's get every single one of these illegal criminals and invaders out of this country. Go back! We need one of the largest domestic deportation efforts in history! We let this president in and now radical islam is taking over like never before. That's why we need a Muslim ban folks, we need a ban! We cannot sustain what's happening, we truly cannot! We're being invaded and we don't even know who these people are. They killed so many over the years. Look how many they killed in San Bernardino! You remember that? This president never talks about it anymore. They get elected and have amnesia, they ignore the problems. Can you believe we have a president who is an anchor baby and a Senate Majority Leader who is a Sunni Muslim, the same religion of Osama bin Laden. How can we trust these two people to protect our border? Give me a break! We need to protect our border and we need to start working for real Americans again. We have to lower your taxes and protect your gun rights. They want to raise your taxes and take away your guns. We cannot let that happen! We can't! Take your guns, allow the invaders to come in and kill, and, oh by the way, I'm going to need an extra 5% so we can give to the illegals. We can't let this scheme go on. Can't let it happen. We need to protect your religious liberties, because now they want to take that away from you too. They fight more for the trans community than the traditional family. We've got to say 'no'! If we don't fight, they will run all over us. We've got to fight. Keep doing what you're doing, the great American Conservative Union. Great people. Let's keep the faith and keep the fight! I'm Jason Roy, good night my friends!"

NEWS FROM ROYCO Communications Officer: Paula Ingram

ECONOMY The Dangers of 'Free Trade': Millions of America's Manufacturing Jobs Lost After 20 Years of NAFTA A Populist Strain of the Republican Party Is Threatening Their Long-Held Positions On Trade Policy. Will The Democrats Follow Suit? By Paul Newman Since NAFTA's enactment and the U.S. and Chinese entrances in the World Trade Organization (WTO), trade deficits have increased more than 600 percent. The economy of the U.S. has hemorrhaged over five million jobs, with nearly 50,000 manufacturing facilities being shuttered. One of those factories that picked up and left the United States - and the families of their employees by the wayside - was Thomson Consumer Electronics. On the day of his swearing in to the United States Senate, 56-year old David Stewart reflected on being laid-off in 2001 when the TV-parts factory picked up and left his hometown. Stewart, an Air-Force Veteran, is a rare breed compared to those who have walked the halls of the Upper House of the United States Congress. He's one of the most inexperienced Senators ever, with just two years of elected-office experience and is one of the most uneducated, having not even attended college. And had his job not been among the millions of casualties of globalization and free trade policies, he contends, he would've never stepped foot in Congress. The freshman Senator is now among a cadre of Republican voices striking an inextricably populist tone related to the economy, particularly as it relates to trade. The policy-stance of the Republican party has long been that of so-called 'free' trade: importing and exporting goods to and from the United States with little to no barriers, and little to no costs. Or so we thought. President Reagan, who is up there with Jesus among conservative-devotees, once decried protectionism. "One of the key factors behind our nation’s great prosperity," he declared, "is the open trade policy that allows the American people to freely exchange goods and services with free people around the world.” The idea of 'free-trade' spoke to clear conservative pillars, such as limited government, market orientation, and even strong internationalism. Now a fresh protectionist perspective is gaining increasing spotlight in the GOP. During the 2016 presidential primaries, General Charles Walker received support from various anti-establishment political figures like former Governor and 2008 VP nominee Sarah Palin and Congressman Joe Wilson. One of the key themes of his campaign: tearing up trade deals. During speeches across South Carolina, a state he ended up winning against establishment Republican Katherine McCord, he promised to renegotiate "some of these bad trade deals that past leaders have gotten us into". On the list? NAFTA. Nearly a year later, Katherine McCord has become the third GOP presidential nominee in a row to lose to the Democratic nominee since 2008 and General Walker is now the Chairman of the Republican party. As the first female president takes office and navigates an increasingly divisive country within a complicated world, some Republicans are not letting right-wing populism fade. Senator Stewart has been joined by other Republicans in opening salvos against NAFTA. Perhaps in a move to try to defuse the populist bomb, Democrats have elevated legislation focused on training programs for workers impacted by automation to the forefront of their agenda in the opening days of the new congressional session. Protectionist Republicans called their bluff, with Senator Stewart forcing a vote on legislation to repeal NAFTA. Democrats fell in the trap, voting en-masse against it, resulting in the likely need for damage control to combat the narrative that they support Wall Street - who are chief defenders of the trade pact. Interestingly, the Democratic party's position on free trade may be more complicated. In Bill Clinton's bid to restore Democrats to power in the 90s, the young president employed the strategy of political triangulation. On the economic front, this included unprecedented support for deregulation in the Democratic party, as wells as focus on balanced budgets and pro-business policies. And, of course, support for free trade. Clinton opined that millions of jobs would be created after the enactment of NAFTA, a trade deal he negotiated, opening up the U.S. economically with its North American partners more than any other pact before it. Clinton's policies, including the late-90s repeal of Glass-Steagall, a banking regulation package, contributed significantly to the financial crash of 2008, according to many analysts. President Obama's choice to not pursue accountability on Wall Street (besides a very strong lecture and finger-wagging), passing on potential legal ramifications and signing a rather watered-down regulatory reform deal, enraged progressives. President Xiomara de la Cruz ran a campaign largely focused on traditional liberal issues of health care, minimum wage, and breaking the glass ceiling - not populist outrage against the financial elite. Will the Democrats shift their focus toward more populist reforms or will they continue on their traditional trajectory, "finishing the job" of Obama's de-facto third-term? How will the Republican lurch toward populism impact their own party or influence their liberal counterparts? How will economic and political populism realign politics in America - and will it reverberate around the world? Only time will tell, but Veracious will keep track of it all.

Name: Jason Roy, Senator from South Carolina Media/Outlet: Fox and Friends/Fox News Reason: Ending the Revolving Door of Organized Corruption/'Drain The Swamp' Act "This woman, who've we've just handed the keys to the White House, took hundreds of millions of dollars from billionaires in Wall Street like Daniel Bu and Mike Bloomberg when she ran for president. What's the first thing she does when she gets in? She nominates a guy who worked for probably the worst bank in history - aside from maybe Lehman Brothers - but this bank made so many bad bets that people's pensions and investments went down the tubes. People's homes were foreclosed because of this bank. Citigroup used Peter Orszag when he worked for Obama to make sure Obama kept their financial elites out of jail. Then he left Obama and cashed-out and went to Citigroup. This bank took over $500 billion in bailout funds from the American people and no consequences from Obama and this guy helps them get off." "We have to start talking more about how our free markets, markets that are supposed to be free, are being manipulated by the financial elite and Wall Street. I used to run a major corporation, so I know. These corporations are spending a record amount of blood money on lobbying Washington politicians who grease their wheels while the little guy gets the short end of the stick. It's unfair. There's no invisible hand, it's the fat cat's hand controlling our economy in collaboration with these corrupt politicians." "This new Senator from Pennsylvania, Dave Stewart, and I have a new bill in the Senate right now focused on ending this revolving door of organized corruption. We call it the 'Drain the Swamp' Act that would prevent these politicians from being able to cash in or cash out from the time and decisions and influence they've had in Washington. Too may of these politicians have sold out their constituents to become whores to Wall Street. It's just obvious, and we need to stop it because our country is going down in flames as we speak because of it."

Joint Statement on “Draining The Swamp Act” & Opposition To Peter Orszag’s Return To Government Bureaucracy: Ending The Revolving Door of Organized Corruption An Open Letter from Senator David Stewart of Pennsylvania; Senator Jason Roy of South Carolina; Senator Jim Cambridge of Iowa and Senator Bill Whitaker of Kentucky “The question of our time is whether or not we will continue to allow our country to be governed by the corrupt political and corporate class. Central to this question is an issue that’s presently before us: the nomination of Peter Orszag to return to the Office of Management and Budget, a job he held previously in the Obama administration before cashing in on his political connections to get a job for the Citigroup bank. Citigroup, once the nation’s largest bank, played games with Americans' hard-earned money by taking unhinged risks. Using his influence in the White House, Peter Orszag helped Citigroup escape accountability, even after taking billions and billions of dollars from taxpayers to be bailed out. Orszag was an economic power player in Bill Clinton’s administration during the repeal of Glass-Steagal, the regulatory legislation that would’ve prevented Citigroup’s conglomeration of commercial and investment banking, which led to significant risk-taking. After his stint in the Clinton administration, Orszag cashed checks as a corporate consultant, using his experience in government to pad his pockets. Peter Orszag enriched himself on the back of public service before and we have no reason not to believe he will do it again. He cannot become a part of this administration. President de la Cruz’s nomination of Mr. Orszag to the Office of Management and Budget sends an unmistakable message that while she may have made history as the first woman president, she’s still more of the same. The new President is not a change-maker but is proving instead to continue the status quo, appointing members of her cabinet who are a part of the revolving door between political consultancy, Wall Street money-making, and government bureaucracy. They are all enriching each other, passing our hard-earned tax money around amongst themselves. That is why we need to ‘Drain The Swamp’. We have unveiled legislation that accomplishes this mission through a host of ethics reforms for members of Congress and the president’s cabinet. This legislation, which has received the support of the Chairman of the Democrat party, would begin the process of ending the revolving door of organized corruption.”
