Vice President JD Vance fired up the crowd at CPAC 2025 with a powerful message about protecting American values. He praised President Trump’s successful policies on borders, jobs, and standing up for life. Vance said free speech and national sovereignty form the foundation of Western civilization – values he claims many European leaders have abandoned.
The Trump administration’s border security wins took center stage. Vance highlighted record deportations of criminal illegal immigrants and completion of over 450 miles of new border wall. He slammed Democrats for trying to block these measures that keep communities safe. “We believe in laws that protect citizens first,” Vance declared as the crowd cheered.
Economic victories got loud applause too. Vance reminded Americans how Trump created 7 million jobs through tax cuts and slashing red tape. He contrasted this with what he called “Biden’s disaster” of inflation and open borders. The VP promised more blue-collar job growth through American energy production and factory rebuilding.
Pro-life supporters celebrated when Vance vowed to keep fighting for the unborn. He announced plans to redirect taxpayer money from abortion providers to crisis pregnancy centers. “Every life is precious,” Vance said, criticizing radical leftists for pushing late-term abortions. The administration will defend religious hospitals against forced participation in procedures violating their beliefs.
Vance didn’t hold back on foreign policy either. He blasted European nations for relying on U.S. military protection while criticizing American values. “They lecture us about democracy but silence conservative voices,” he said about recent censorship laws overseas. The VP warned Europe must pay its fair share for defense instead of draining American resources.
The speech celebrated bringing home 14 American hostages through tough negotiations – including some held captive since Obama’s presidency. Vance accused previous administrations of weakness in dealing with hostile regimes. He promised more prisoner rescues through President Trump’s “peace through strength” approach.
On education, Vance pushed for banning critical race theory and transgender ideology in schools. He announced new parental rights measures letting families sue districts that hide information about kids’ gender transitions. “Schools should teach math – not woke madness,” he said to thunderous applause from parents in attendance.
Closing with optimism, Vance said Trump’s agenda proves conservatism works for all Americans. He urged voters to reject “failed socialist experiments” in November 2024. The VP received multiple standing ovations for his vision of national renewal – secure borders, strong families, and unapologetic patriotism leading America’s comeback tour.
