Speech Topics

  • The Deep State: How it protected President Obama & how 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, Congressman Chaffetz shares the stories and insight while articulating what we need to do about it.

  • The American Spirit

    The United States of America is the greatest country on the face of the planet. The generations before us made the sacrifices, did the work, overcame adversity, and beat the odds to build the USA into the superpower it is today. 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.

  • Oversight – What Really Happened

    Benghazi, IRS, Fast & Furious, the Hillary Clinton email scandal, etc. Congressman Chaffetz, as the Chairman of the Oversight & Government Reform Committee in the House of Representatives gives the details, tells what happened behind the scenes, and lays out the case on the biggest cases you’ve heard of from Washington D.C. over the past eight years. He shares the rest of the story that needs to be told.

  • 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.

  • Now What?

    President Trump’s impact on the Republican Party is undeniable. He turned out record crowds – both at rallies and on Election Day. But his unorthodox methods and fiery personality have led to schisms within the GOP. So, where do conservatives go from here? Who will lead post-Trump Republicans? Will he continue to call the shots from outside of Washington? What coalition comes together in his wake? On the other side of the aisle, what do the Biden Administration’s policies – along with Democrat majorities in the House and Senate – mean for Americans from Wall Street to Main Street? Former Congressman Jason Chaffetz, who is still very much connected to the inner workings of Washington, assesses where the conservative movement goes in 2021 and beyond.
