WIFFC Bus Tour Reunion at Mar-a-Lago After GB

We were thrilled to fit two incredible events back-to-back: a long-awaited speech to the Informed Women of Green Bay, followed by a flight to Mar-a-Lago to attend a gathering with President-elect Trump, JD Vance, and every announced Administration pick to date. It was striking to note that more than half of our September bus tour participants may end up in the Cabinet. 

While the Mar-a-Lago event was largely a celebration of the election results—an opportunity for conservative leaders who had registered and early voted millions of voters to gather publicly and acknowledge the victory—the Green Bay speech focused on one of the top priorities that the new Administration and Congress will need to address: tackling the national debt. Feel free to click to watch our 15-slide presentation, or first scroll through the photos below of some of the slides and photos from Mar-a-Lago. 

And yes, we do still need end-of-year tax deductible contributions from those of you who did not give during the campaign. The left doesn’t stop the day after the election, and we look forward to expanding into Minnesota which as I said in my last interview predicting the 312-226 margin this year – was still four years from a conservative majority.

Watch our 15-slide presentation on how to address the national debt, first presented to the Informed Women of Green Bay, who previously heard from the Wisconsin Faith and Freedom Coalition Pastor Outreach Director, Rev. Dr. Luke Farwell. In our Green Bay speech, we addressed the record inflation under the outgoing Biden Administration and the reckless government spending that has contributed to it. These are issues that figures like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy—who joined us on the Trump surrogate bus tour at the end of September—have highlighted, particularly in discussions around the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.).

The slide showing referees crowding the playing field is drawn from an analogy by Elon Musk, in which he compares the SEC’s over-aggressive approach to business regulation to a situation where there are more referees than players on the field. Beyond overregulation, Musk also points to instances of poor regulation—such as when he insisted that individuals involved in rocket-launching technologies be U.S. citizens or Green Card holders with a clear intent to remain in the United States. This policy was designed to prevent sensitive information from being transferred to hostile countries that could potentially use it to target the U.S. with missile attacks. Yet, despite the security concerns, the Department of Justice spent a significant amount of taxpayer money attempting to enforce diversity policies that could have jeopardized national security.

As Pudner pointed out, the prospects for solving these critical issues have been significantly improved by the results of last week’s election, along with the formation of D.O.G.E. Moreover, official Treasury rates and investment projections indicate that inflation is expected to be less than half of what it was over the past few years, contradicting misleading campaign ads that suggested Trump’s policies would lead to skyrocketing prices—with the erroneous liberal spin advertising this was essentially a middle-class tax hike. As detailed in the presentation, the actual expected inflation during Trump’s term is a little more than 2% – we know this because that is the difference between the interest Treasury gets from investors based on if they take the nominal rate or the TIPS rate.

With those deceptive campaign ads behind us, it’s time to focus on governing for the benefit of the nation. We were encouraged to see both the President and President-elect together at the White House last Wednesday, signaling the start of much-needed bipartisan cooperation to resolve these critical issues affecting hardworking families across Wisconsin and our Republic.

It was great to reconnect with those who were on the bus with us in Wisconsin at the end of September—Kash Patel, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Chad Wolf—though we did not reconnect with Lee Zeldin as everyone crowded around President-elect Trump and Elon Musk at the event.
