Donald Trump (76:51)
I can list you, I mean a laundry list of ways the world is better off and has been better off by the United States being really the world's only significant superpower for over a century now. And none of you would necessarily disagree with it. You'd also have some caveats, you'd also have some negatives. And that would be true too. We haven't been flawless. Can you tell me any way in which the world would be better off off if that superpower wasn't the United States? And if so, who replaces it? We all know it's going to be somebody. There's going to be a king of the hill. China, Russia, I mean the uk, the eu, any nation in Africa, any nation in Asia. There's going to be someone. There's going to be someone steering the. Obviously, it's been the nation that pays over 4% of their GDP into NATO. The only one, the only nation that has the world's greatest peacekeeping force that has ever existed in the United States military. Obviously it's been us, but we have been on a path that basically is based. It's predicated on the policy, the Democrat Party in this country, the radical left, really, the movement internationally, but certainly the United States that has said it shouldn't be us, we shouldn't be in charge. We shouldn't view ourselves as better. We should focus on spreading it because they believe the world is better off. That era is over. And it's an era of, you know what? Let's be as great, as wealthy, as successful as possible because everyone benefits if head honcho is the United States. That's the difference. And you can hear it said now because the left was ashamed of it. It's the difference in shame of your country. You see it not only with dei, you see it with what was taught in school. You see it with checking your privilege. You see it with the censoring of freedom of speech. You see it with the erosion of our institutions, the institutions we're talking about intelligence agencies, our institutions going after Americans invariably, basically, they were going after patriotic Americans who believe that this country is the greatest country ever think of. Think about that. Get rid of left and right. When they were going after Parents at PTA meetings who didn't believe that there should be boys in girls bathrooms when Barack Obama was using the IRS to audit Tea Partiers, when they labeled anyone January 6th an insurrectionist, a terrorist every single time in the last, let's call it certainly four years. But I would also extend it to the Obama administration. Even if you don't agree politically, you would have to acknowledge that our institutions were purging, persecuting and attacking people who do believe that the United States is the greatest country that's ever existed. Can we agree on that? It'd be hard pressed to find someone who would say that statement is not correct factually. So at a certain point, you have to ask yourself why? Why does the persecution only go one way? And why has it always been from the left? And why does your country's institutions that you are demanded to trust persecute the people who believe in preserving the vision and values of America to begin with? We're back to those. No, no, what we're saying is we're not going to persecute. We're not going to use the irs, the doj, the Department of Education to persecute people who believe that this was the greatest country on earth and want it to be a. Those are not going to be the enemies of the state. The enemies of the state should be the people who actually want to change the state and subvert the state. You know, like, do away with the Constitution, First Amendment, Second Amendment. Like do away with the ideas of Western civilization, like the nuclear family. I'm sorry, a byproduct of white patriarchy. The idea of male and female. It sounds like a small thing. I'm really hoping that 20 years from now people look at this speech and some kids don't even have context for it and go, why would the president have to say there are only two genders, that it'll be a given. And the reason for that is because billions of you, and not just this program, but you're a huge sample size, literally billions of you tuned into there are only two genders. Changed my mind when no one was allowed to say, say it. Build a wall. When? No, remember 2016, when that was considered racist? No one believes it anymore, including people who will be on the other side of that wall. What you just heard was a fundamental shift in tone. And it's really simple. It's, America is great and we should be greater. And we are going to put a focus on excellence versus shame in our nation. That's the change. And you can put everything under those umbrellas. Shame that we believe moms and dads are a thing, male and female is a thing. Shame that we believe success is a good thing. Shame that we've been at the forefront of all ingenuity. Shame that we are the ones, this country tasked with the responsibility of protecting the free world so that other nations can have free health care and Internet and experiment with green technology. Shame. Shame. Shame in using our own energy. Shame. And shame in having standards that have made our military the greatest that the world has ever known. Shame that we have people and parents who speak out freely. We label it hate speech. Shame in the very idea and fiber of being American. That's what we lived through. And he just said, all right, we're going to race this, that we're going to etch a sketch this shit and go back to what we have always been. When people say, oh, the right has moved and the parties have changed, I don't necessarily know that I agree. But I will say one thing. The Democrat party wasn't always a party that was completely ashamed and wanted to erode the very fiber of America. That's what it's because come. And that's what this mandate is. It's a rejection of that. And you can see it not only with the musks of the world, not only that Rumble now had bigger election streams than YouTube and Google and let alone CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News. You can see with Zuckerberg at Facebook saying what he's saying. And you can see it across this country with the demographic shifts of Mexican Americans and yes, I mean Mexican Americans, not Hispanic Americans. Mexican Americans as a demographic one. Yeah, yeah. Should probably have a. Probably have a wall. Yeah. You know what? You really have the right as a country to determine who enters. Just like the country I left. It's a complete rejection of this culture of shame in the United States of America. Shame of masculinity, shame of freedom, shame of Judeo Christian values. Hey, you may not agree with it, but at least now people can discuss it. I remember. Look, I remember. If nothing else, if I provide no other value to you, it's that you can go and see me as a 20 year old, 18 year old, probably even younger here on YouTube with a blue bed sheet and an old Hi8 camera digital 8 maybe before we move to Minidville. I was here when it was nothing on YouTube, when it was nothing but atheists and there were no conservatives, there were no Christians. You were mocked. It was the era of Dawkins and flying spaghetti monster. Right? I was here for the very first online network. PJ TV was one. You can see my videos were a part of that. I was here when Fox News launched what they called Studio B. I was at Fox News for four and a half years. That was their online platform. That was seen as an afterthought. Thought I was here when I was on Fox News. And my own interviews that I would upload to this very channel. If you're still watching on YouTube, you should be watching on Rumble were removed by Fox News legal department because they didn't think there was a future in it. And it was a fad, take your pick. Blaze, Daily Wire, before Twitter was even a thing. I was here back on MySpace. And I can tell you there was a shift where people felt afraid to speak out, just with the point. Afraid to speak. The point of view that every single American held, really, up until about 2008, or at least were allowed to espouse. So if there's a reversal, look, you're always gonna have left and right, you're always gonna have freaks, you're always gonna have people who hate this country. You can go back to people burning the flag. You can go back to communism. Hey, guess what? McCarthy was right about a lot of of it. But at least back then, the people who were fighting against it didn't feel shame in expressing their point of view and didn't have to fear the loss of their career, of their livelihood and their very fundamental right to speak out because we didn't have the same centralized powers that exist today in big tech and media that silenced everyone. We're going to look back on this if, if, if we stay vigilant, we keep our feet on the gas, if we don't become complacent and history can look back on the period I would say between about 2014, 2015 to 2024, that will be the period of time in the United States where free speech didn't exist. But it was a blip. And then Americans got it right. That's what this community be. It's hard because you were in it. But remember when you were in Covid, it felt like it was never going to end. The new normal. Remember that way back there? Remember that you have people who were. You have people who don't remember it because they were born just a couple years before COVID It's a blip. We're like, oh, yeah, that was a thing. We're back to normal. I really pray that history will look back on that period of time between, I would say 2014 to about 2024 as a, as the lost decade, the erosion of fundamental American rights before we course corrected and we went back to doing what it is that we've always done imperfectly, but at least striving to create and be proud of the greatest country that's ever existed. That's it. That's a shift. And that's what you heard today. You heard it unapologetically. You wouldn't have been able to get that without the mandate that we saw this last election. That's the contrast idea. I see. Anyway, I'm off my soapbox.
