Monica Crowley

12 May 2023

Could there be a better dot connector on what is happening in America today than Monica Crowley? Look at this quote from the back of her book, aptly titled “What the (Bleep) Just Happened?”…

“What the @$%&! just happened? What just happened to America? What happened to our strength and greatness? What happened to our constitutionally limited government? What happened to our powerful free-market system? What happened to our traditional rocket path of growth? What happened to American jobs? What happened to our prosperity? What happened to the greatest health care system in the world? What happened to our superpower status? What happened to our ability to be respected and feared? What’s up with the unprecedented spending and record-breaking deficits?”  Now, one would think that this blurb from the back of her book cover that the book was written yesterday. Except it wasn’t. It was written in 2012. It’s almost like Monica had a crystal ball, isn’t it?  

For those unfamiliar with Monica, here’s a bit more info and what sets her apart from the rest of the “Keynote” crowd: Monica Crowley is a truly unique figure on the American political, journalistic and contemporary history scene. Why? Because she has the singular distinction of having worked for TWO American presidents: Richard Nixon during his final years, and Donald Trump as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during his Administration.  There is no one else like her – with the living history she has witnessed first-hand and the insider’s stories she’s willing to share.   

Monica’s extraordinary career at the highest levels of politics and media has given her a rare perspective – she connects dots that NO ONE else can.  Because she was – and continues to be – in the middle of it all.

Monica explains how we got here – to an unrecognizable America – in ways that will leave audiences spellbound.  With her deep love for America, Monica brings the past into the present, provides a clear-eyed analysis of the current moment – and offers an optimistic view (and action plan) for the future.

And she has some explosive predictions for the 2024 elections. This is a red-hot talk you don’t want to miss! Monica simply radiates from the podium, with an infectious energy and even a self deprecating sense of humor: Given that she has the unique experience of having worked for 2 very particular American Presidents – Monica likes to say: “Can I pick’em, or what?”
