Steve Bannon spoke at Friday night’s California Republican Party fall 2017 convention to help reinvigorate the GOP across the state. In his remarks, Bannon advocated that those running for political office in California run on authenticity and ideas like reducing legal immigration and the withdrawal H-1B visas.

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Steve Bannon’s appearance at the California Republican Party convention Friday was part of an attempt to revitalize GOP support in the golden state. “When you have victories,
you start to get our tax structure correct. When you get victories you redo these crappy trade deals and start protecting American workers and companies,” Bannon said during the convention’s
evening banquet at the Anaheim Marriott hotel. “It’s time that California start to have some victories.” Bannon suggested that Republican candidates advocate for ideas like the reducing of legal immigration and restricting of H-1B visas, which allow employers to hire foreign professionals for “specialty” occupations that require “theoretical or technical expertise in specialized fields,” according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website. Bannon promoted limiting these visas on the premise
that it would allow “the Hispanic and black kids” who are U.S. citizens to be allowed success.

across the state to attend the convention, including the Cal State Fullerton College Republicans club. Hannah Reams, event coordinator for CSUF College Republicans, showed up with about 15 other club members who had booked hotel rooms for the convention’s entirety.

Rainbow confetti rained down on hundreds of students as they waved dollars at drag queens in glitzy, showstopping costumes. Iconic voices roaring over the speakers were brought to life on stage as each performer embodied pop royalty like Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, P!nk and Rihanna, each performer taking turns owning the stage and creating energy in the crowd. “I haven’t been to a show where they’ve been that loud in quite a while,” said performer Xotica Erotica. “The people at Cal State Fullerton, they really appreciate drag and they love what they see. They’re just very welcoming. It feels amazing for us as entertainers to just come out and have all that energy and the audience roaring.”

Sporting navy kits under the lights on the pitch for the night, Cal State Fullerton men’s soccer looked to secure a win against the UC Riverside Highlanders that would’ve moved the Titans into first place in the Big West south division. However, after Samuel Goni’s clutch goal with less than two minutes to play in regulation kept the Titans alive, he and the team weren’t satisfied with remaining in second place after a double-overtime draw against the Highlanders. “I don’t feel good. I think we were the better team tonight. I think we are better than them, and we didn’t show it today,” Goni said. “We should have won.” UCR’s goalkeeper Vincent Morales was put to the
test early as CSUF totaled seven shots in the first half, three of which were on goal. All the attempts were futile, however, and Morales racked up three saves. The Titans’ own defense didn’t let up either, only allowing one Highlander shot in the first half as it ended in a 0-0 tie.
