THE DEEP STATE- HOW IT PROTECTED PRESIDENT OBAMA & IT FIGHTS PRESIDENT TRUMP

You’ve likely heard of the “deep state,” but what is it, how does it work, and how does it impact your life? As the Chairman of the Oversight & Government Reform Committee in the House of Representatives, former Congressman Chaffetz shares the stories and insight while articulating what we need to do about it.

IT & DC
THE GOVERNMENT'S ROLE IN TECH

I.T. does not understand D.C. and D.C. does not understand I.T.

Congressman Chaffetz delivers a unique perspective on the state of I.T. in today's marketplace and how the federal government will play a much bigger role in your future than you ever thought possible.

The federal government spends nearly $90 billion annually on I.T. and it does not work. Congress and the administration will restructure this segment of the greater I.T. industry. But government, as it often does, will also likely implement legislation, executive orders, and governing practices via regulations that will dramatically effect the overall industry, opening new markets and closing the doors on others. It is happening now and you better understand it.

Congressman Chaffetz, as Chairman of the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee created the first I.T. subcommittee in Congress and had prime jurisdiction for I.T. throughout government. He will address procurement, regulations, privacy, emerging technologies, personnel/immigration, cyber security, and what is happening behind closed doors.

-How will the US government's aging tech infrastructure impact tech trends?
-What can we learn from drone implementation around the country?

-Can a small pivot in government focus help eliminate cancer?

This keynote will be tailored to the needs of the attendees with direction from the event director.

THE AMERICAN SPIRIT

The United States of America is the greatest country on the face of the planet.

But is time for a new generation to step up and take the mantle of responsibility, face challenges unlike any before, and make the American Dream a possibility for everyone, no matter your background or station in life. Congressman Chaffetz shares the stories of inspiration and lays out the challenges ahead for our times.

The Deep Stateby Jason Chaffetz

The Deep State

by Jason Chaffetz

The New York Time bestselling expose on the politicized federal bureaucracy that actively works to promote the Democrat agenda and undermine President Trump.

The liberal media loves to characterize the Obama years as free of scandal. They pretend this is true because virtually every office in the executive branch worked to withhold evidence of wrongdoing, silence witness testimony, destroy federal records, classify embarrassing information, and retaliate against truth tellers. Yet these same tight-lipped lifers leaked like a sieve once President Trump was sworn in, freely promoting the illusion that everything he does is the new Watergate.

Sometimes even conservatives portray the Deep State as nothing more than dumb inefficient bureaucracy. In fact, it's the opposite; the Deep State is intentional, unconstitutional, and organized.

In Deep State, Jason Chaffetz reveals an entrenched leadership within the civil service that resists exposure, accountability, and responsibility. At the highest levels, they fight back, outlast, and work the system for their own advantage. And they certainly don't like disruptive forces such as Donald Trump.

As Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Chaffetz was the tip of the spear challenging the Deep State and trying to hold them accountable. He and his colleagues took on the powerful forces at the IRS, the EPA, the DOJ, the Department of State, and more. The deeper he dove in, the more shocking he found the brazen approach by the power brokers. The balance of power has shifted. The Deep State has gotten used to operating anonymously and without consequence. This is a problem bigger than we can even imagine and getting worse. Unless we do something dramatic to wrest back control, we risk losing the ability to successfully challenge wrongdoing by the most powerful bureaucracy in the world.

In Deep State, Chaffetz highlights the Deep State's tactics, illuminates the problems, and offers a way to fight back and win. It is important to expose the stories, but if the American People are going to win, Congress is going to have to do things differently. This book helps the concerned citizen understand what must be done--so they can demand real change.

A New York Times Bestseller.

How much damage will the Democrats do to our republic in the name of saving it?

In the years he served on and eventually chaired the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Jason Chaffetz gained crucial insight into the inner workings of D.C. Things were bad then, but during the Trump administration, liberals have reached a new level of hysteria and misconduct.

Democrat anger has grown so irrational that it has burst through the constitutional guardrails which protect our institutions and our republic. While they constantly label the right "fascist," the left imposes policies which suppress speech, limit freedom, and empower federal bullies.

In Power Grab, Chaffetz pulls back the curtain on the world of hypocrisy, political intrigue, and procedural malfeasance that is Washington D.C. With stories you won't read anywhere else, he shows how the left weaves false narratives, drums up investigations in search of a crime, and refuses to direct congressional oversight towards its appropriate target: the government. Democrats weaponize nonprofit advocacy groups and monetize partisan anger to line the pockets of their political allies. They use "voter enrollment" as a smokescreen to hide their plans to destabilize free elections and seek to politicize federal agencies like the Federal Election Commission, the IRS, and the Department of Justice.

It shouldn't be this way. Democrats have abandoned the wisdom set forth in the Constitution for short-term political wins. Power Grab shows the lengths to which Democrats will go to maintain their grip on power, and how the only thing that will stop them is a return to our founding principles.
