As they gave President Donald Trump high marks for his first 100 days in office, a trio of conservative radio talk show hosts at a Riverside conference Sunday, April 30 urged congressional Republicans to get their act together and pass the presidents agenda, especially repealing Obamacare.

Its OK to disagree. Its fine to be a divided caucus if at the end of the day, you come together and take 75 percent of what you want and call it a win, Dennis Prager told an audience of more than 800 at the Fourth Annual Unite IE Conservative Conference.

Republicans generally do not perceive the threat that the left is to our society, he added. This is the Achilles heel of the Republican Party If you do understand it, then any victory is a victory.

The conference, which took place at the Riverside Convention Center, offered a chance for conservatives to gather, network and be inspiredin a state thats been hostile ground for their beliefs.

This years conference focused on the first 100 days of the Trump administration, which hit that mark Saturday. Radio host Hugh Hewitt, who served as a panelist for four debates of GOP presidential hopefuls, gave Trump a solid B, saying the Republican real estate mogul and reality TV star needs to fill more judgeships.

Another radio personality, Larry Elder, gave Trump an A+, calling the nomination and confirmation of conservative Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch far and away the presidents most important accomplishment.

Prager gave Trump an A- and apologized for resisting Trumps quest for the GOP presidential nomination.

I am starting to love this man and I thought I would never say that in my life, Prager said.

Unlike liberals, Trump doesnt care if America is loved, Prager said, adding: The recipe for peace on Earth is not for America to be loved, but feared.

The audience in the convention center expressed their support for Trump through the applause. The loudest cheers came when event co-emcee and local radio host Jennifer Horn asked how many in the crowd gave Trump an A, with fewer claps for those who give him a B and the lightest applause for those giving him a C.

The conference also featured Joel Pollak, senior editor-at-large of the conservative news site Breitbart and author of the book How Trump Won: The Inside Story of a Revolution.

The unifying message that brought a New York former liberal Democrat together with conservative audiences in the Midwest and South and everywhere else we can think of was the pushback against the mainstream media, Pollak said, adding that Trump addressed issues like immigration and trade that were ignored by the Republican and Democratic parties.

Anti-Breitbart sentiment was on display at a morning protest outside the conference. About 50 protesters waved signs with slogans such as Evil Lurks and its Name is Breitbart, Impeach Vladimir Trump, Facts Still Matter and Hire a Clown, Get a Circus.

Lecia Elzig of Riverside held a sign with provocative Breitbart headlines seen as offensive to women, including Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy.

Elzig said she respected the right of conference-goers to assemble. Were just here exercising our constitutional rights, she said.
