And so looking at the schedule this year, there were a lot of, you know, conservative commentators and influencers, so to speak.

But I would say they're folks who are relatively newer to the movement or just have slight, like, smaller followings compared to some of these names that have millions and millions of followers and have been around for a while.

Nick Shirley was the last speaker yesterday.

You may remember that name because...

He was the content creator influencer who was posting a lot about alleged fraud in Somali daycare centers in Minnesota earlier this year, which kind of in part fueled this larger discourse around immigration crackdowns in the city of Minneapolis.

That's a speaking slot that typically goes to a prominent elected official or political figure in the party.

So it's interesting that this year it went to a relatively newer face and a content creator.

You're talking about, like, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

And, you know, that dissent is definitely felt around.

People know there's infighting in the party.

People are not really –

They're dancing around maybe larger fighting on Iran and whether there's unified support for going in or striking the country.

But there is a lot of talk of we know there's divides, we know there's fighting, but we have to unify.

We have to unify.

The folks that are attending CPAC are very representative for the most part of that MAGA base of Trump's core voters.

These are people that have stood by him since 2016 for the most part.

And I heard that yesterday talking to voters.

I was trying to get kind of a temperature check on how people were feeling about the decision to go to war with Iran.
