Sep 17, 2024, 1:00PM
The America First Policy Institute recently hosted an event featuring House Speaker Mike Johnson and Larry Kudlow. Brooke Rollins, President and CEO of AFPI, opened the gathering by emphasizing the need for economic revival in the United States. She expressed gratitude to the Secret Service and to God for protecting President Trump over the weekend, setting a tone of reverence and urgency for the day's discussion.
House Speaker Mike Johnson delivered a powerful address that touched on Americans' current economic struggles, particularly the younger generations who have experienced financial hardships and instability. He noted that many have only witnessed the American economy thrive once in their lifetimes, during the years of the Trump administration. Johnson highlighted how President Trump's policies—such as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, energy independence, and deregulation—helped boost household incomes, achieve energy independence, and reduce poverty rates to historic lows.

Larry Kudlow, renowned economist and former Director of the National Economic Council under President Trump, further elaborated on these themes. Kudlow spoke passionately about maintaining economic growth and implementing sound fiscal policies. He underscored the importance of reducing taxes, simplifying the tax code, and encouraging investment and opportunity as cornerstones of the America First economic agenda.
Brooke Rollins later introduced several notable guests, including Chad Wolf, former Secretary of Homeland Security, and Ken Blackwell, a leading election integrity expert. She praised the work of AFPI's team in advocating for policies prioritizing American workers, families, and national security. The event reiterated AFPI's commitment to restoring America's economy, safeguarding the nation's liberties, and ensuring a strong and free America.
In a stirring conclusion, Rollins called on patriots to remember the principles that have made America great and to work toward a future where those values are upheld. She invoked the spirit of the founding fathers and past leaders like President Reagan and President Trump, asserting that America is at a pivotal moment. As Speaker Johnson and Larry Kudlow echoed, now is the time to stand firm, work tirelessly, and ensure that America remains the land of opportunity, strength, and liberty.
The event served as a rallying cry for all those who believe in the America First movement, urging them to take action to preserve and protect the nation's founding ideals. As Rollins so aptly put it, this is a battle for the very soul of America and a fight that every patriot must be ready to face. Together, with resolve and dedication, America can once again find its path to greatness.
