WATCH: El Salvador president warns Americans during bold CPAC speech

Just a few days ago, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele delivered a bold speech at America’s annual Conservative Political Action Conference. His warning against global elites, including George Soros, and other “dark forces” was welcomed with applause and cheers from a highly receptive audience.

“If [elites] want a seat at the table, they should run for office. Let the people vote. It will not be a pretty sight for them – if the elections are free and fair,” he said. “Who elected Soros to dictate public policy and laws? Why does he feel entitled to impose his agenda?”

“Soros and his cronies hit a brick wall in El Salvador,” he continued. “Thank God, another glory be to Him, Salvadorans are now immune to his influence. No one believes his lies any more.”

“In the span of less than a decade, gangs took control of all the country and our society. They evolved into a parallel government controlling elections and even political parties. ... Murder capital of the world – it’s a tragic title to hold.”

“Jumping out of the water when it's already boiling is an almost impossible feat. You are not there yet,” Bukele said in reference to America. “And believe me, you don’t want to be.”

After El Salvador “arrested terrorists” and began “removing corrupt judges, attorneys, and prosecutors,” it finally was able to begin the process of “cleansing” itself, Bukele told the audience.

The country also was forced to acknowledge the hard truth: “The corrupt system works in tandem with the so-called international community, the NGOs, and … the fake news.”

“Just like it happens here in the United States,” Bukele warned.

“El Salvador and a lot of places in South America are on their way out of that kind of corruption while [Americans] are stepping headlong into it,” says Keith Malinak, reiterating Bukele’s main point.

“Can you imagine back in the '80s and '90s us pointing to El Salvador's leader for inspiration on any topic?” asks Pat Gray.
