I bring you good news from sunny Florida my friends and as some of you will obviously be able to hear I'm at CPAC having a bit of a reunion with so many of my my freedom loving friends and colleagues here.

I'm going to fill up with thousands and thousands of folks.

Florida for a New Yorker right now is the closest thing I think you can have as an American to fleeing East Berlin for West Berlin circa 1965.

You get down here and there's mask requirements you get down here and there are people who are taking precautions their social distancing but there's a a difference in overall feeling where you're going forward with your life.

You're going to you're going to keep operating your store you're going to keep showing up for work people are going to keep moving forward.

And it's just such a difference it's amazing feeling it all around you see it going on and I got to tell you I'm I feel like I work for the Florida tourism board every time I come down here but Ron DeSantis deserves so much credit for this has done such an excellent job and in the face of unbelievable pressure and criticism.

Let's see pack I'll have more stories for you tomorrow on this one right now it's just the very very beginnings of it president Trump former president Trump pardon me will be appearing here and talking about the future of the GOP so there's a lot that will have to discuss about this but I wanted to start with racism and and fake racism and how fake racism can ruin lives.

Now I went to a college called Amherst Amherst is in central Massachusetts I bring this up because it is very left wing but not as left wing as some of the other schools in the neighborhood notably Hampshire college UMass Amherst which is an entirely different school for new doesn't know that's a state school for University of Massachusetts and Smith college I know quite a bit about Smith college because I had a great time.

I was a Smith attendee and I can tell you that Smith is like living in an alternate universe Smith college in Northampton Massachusetts is the most far left place I think I've ever been in my life and that includes somebody that that somebody who grew up in New York City and has lived in Greenwich Village and was lived in Washington DC which voted 94% for Joe Biden this last time around.

Smith is all the campus lunacy that we talk about it's like it's concentrated in one place and it's the center now of a national level story over race and class and wokeness and this reminds me very much of some of the similar situations that happen while I was a student there now going on 20 years ago it's been quite a while since I was at Amherst college.

I had a little stint at the CIA popped into a rocket Afghanistan started a media career thank you Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh and now here I am but I remember what it was like at Smith back in the day I remember how ideologically driven so many people were and it was really the the totalitarianism of wokeness that we're experiencing every day that was only in places like Smith 20 years ago.

To the extent that you're seeing it now where it doesn't matter what the facts are it doesn't actually matter what the truth of any situation may be what matters is does this help the cause it is very Soviet in a sense I mentioned before what it's like to travel from east to west Berlin or the closest thing to it for an American today and that is going from a lockdown a core lockdown place like New York City and finding yourself in in Florida.

I'm in Orlando obviously for CPAC but the Soviet Union was a place where the truth didn't matter the facts didn't matter there was the storyline that the people in power demanded and if you deviated from it you well in that case of course could be sent to the gulag you could be executed I mean it was worse than it is here I'm not saying it's the same but the mentality is similar and the erosion of freedom that we've had really the threat to free.

Freedom the damage to freedom that has occurred in the last year in America is unlike anything else we've ever experienced so I do think it's legitimate I do think it's fair for us to sit around and say hold on a second how much more of this can we take before we are crossing that rubicon and have we already crossed it in some ways are we on a a glide path now toward a near totalitarian state.

I know it's a scary thought and you could say all that's we're still a country with rule of law and we're still a country where things you know you still have constitutional protection how long you're going to have that for.

Do we really think that that just enjoys you really think that that continues no matter who's in charge who's in power in fact if you look at the totalitarianism of the 20th century they arose out of periods of liberal reform they arose from democracies.

People didn't expect it to happen in the Soviet Union they didn't expect it to happen in Nazi Germany or rather they didn't know it was going to happen.

Think of the Soviet revolution people they don't study it in school I mean I really believe that you know academics want Americans to be ignorant of socialism and the history of socialism throughout the 20th century obviously starting with Karl Marx when well before them but then into the 20th century totalitarianism.

Because if you know about these things you're terrified of them and you want to fight them with everything you've got if you understand what it is from history to live in a society where the truth does not matter then you understand how much you have to fight to prevent us from descending into that.

And that then brings me to the Soviet style absurdity of what happened at Smith College now I know this place well I can tell you that there are there are dorms there there dormitories that are segregated by sexual preference and by or sexual orientation or whatever we're supposed to say now to the point where you think well that that can't be that complicated.

Well it actually does get very complicated very quickly because there are a lot of different preferences and a lot of different self identifications that go into it I could not even begin to tell you how many different sexual orientations are represented on the Smith College campus I'm being serious I have absolutely no idea because there are so many and there's and they're constantly changing.
