Thank you for Supporting My American Dream!
The golden age of America begins right now. From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world. We will be the envy of every nation and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer. Today, on the Share the Struggle podcast, we look back on a monumentous moment in US history and we recap one of the most pivotal and important speeches of our lifetimes. Let me tell you something Everybody struggles.
Speaker 1:The difference is some people choose to go through it and some choose to grow through it. The difference is some people choose to go through it and some choose to grow through it. The choice is completely yours. Which one you choose will have a very profound effect on the way you live your life. If you find strength in the struggle, then this podcast is for you and this podcast is for you.
Speaker 1:Do you have a relationship that is comfortable with uncomfortable conversations? Uncomfortable conversations challenge you, humble you and they build you. When you sprinkle a little time and distance on it, it all makes sense. Most disagreements, they stem from our own insecurities. You are right where you need to be. You're running my eyes too fast and I'm waiting to find you. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. What it do, what it hot, da-da-da-da-da-da-do. Good lord, am I so excited to be back with you? Oh, it's true. It's damn true, because today symbolizes a much brighter day for me and you. Wow, what a time to be alive, america, what a time to be alive.
Speaker 1:I am recording today, one day after Trump's inauguration. What an incredible day. I don't know if any of you are as hung up on this stuff as I am, but I tuned in for you know the whole pomps and circumstances of it all. Right, the whole pageantry of the day. The wife and I fell asleep watching the balls I mean the presidential ball. You know what I'm saying. So yesterday Trump made, I believe, three speeches and then he attended three balls and spoke there and he spent 60 minutes answering questions, which I think is more unscripted questions and answers than we've seen from our previous president, and maybe his entire presidency. To watch him give a speech, walk to the side of the stage, sign executive orders, throw pens into the crowd, watching people dive around for a sharpie that he used to sign an executive order. That, ladies and gentlemen, is rock star stuff. That's like Elvis Presley stuff, like oh, thank you, thank you very much, and throws his scarf into the crowd and women go wild. That is the type of optimism that is now running rampant through our country.
Speaker 1:Now, I know there's a lot of negative Nellies out there. They're going to have their panties in a wad. I do certainly understand that, and today's conversation isn't going to be just completely this pro-Trump mantra rah, rah, rah, kushkamba. No, today I am going to dig into the speech. That was the speech that was delivered yesterday and we're going to highlight some of the things in this speech. We're going to dig into the speech. That was the speech that was delivered yesterday and we're going to highlight some of the things in this speech. We're going to go over some of the things. I'm not going to get into the specifics on executive orders and you know the switches that were going to be flipped and the buttons that are going to be pushed.
Speaker 1:I'm going to get into what was said, and the reason why I'm getting into what was said is because this podcast Share the Struggle podcast has always been about motivating. It has always been about inspiring. It has always been about growing through things. What President Trump delivered to all of us yesterday is completely inspiring. It should inspire and motivate each and every American, whether you voted for him or didn't vote for him. This, what we're about to talk to you today, this packet of paperwork that I have right here, word for word from his speech, should inspire you. What was said yesterday if you have an open mind and you love your country, if you live with some passion and compassion, this is an opportunity to realize that he has one thing in mind the American people, and that's what he cares about, and that's you and that's me. I am so excited about the possibility for you and me in our great country. So, when we get into this speech today, I want you to think about the speech that is delivered and, for a moment, try not to think about this actually being President Trump, about this actually being President Trump.
Speaker 1:If we go into this speech and I started today's podcast with hey, I have an awe-inspiring speech for you that I'm going to share with you that this person has the opportunity and the ability to cause and affect change in our country. Let's just hear this person out. Let's understand this speech for what it is. Think about the parallels here and the fact that this speech was delivered on MLK Day. Now, I'm far too young to have been around for Martin Luther King, but I've listened to the speeches. I've listened to so many speeches in my life. I'm empowered by speeches, hence one of the reasons why we're going to have this conversation today. But there's a great parallel in the fact of what was delivered by MLK, by Martin Luther King himself, and then, on the anniversary on his day, president Trump gets up and delivers a unifying speech, and one that also also very key point here highlights Martin Luther King himself. That I don't want to spoil it. You probably already know where I'm going with this.
Speaker 1:Most of you have listened to this, but there's a lot of people listening that have said you know what? I didn't watch any of that shit. I don't care about it. Politics ain't for me, or I hate that guy, I can't stand that guy, whatever that is. That's the reason why we're going to go over this. For those of you that are in the crowd that love Trump like I do, this is for you. For those of you that are skeptical, this is for you. For those of you that are anti-political, this is for you.
Speaker 1:I want you to open your ears and receive this speech for what it is A crying out to unify a country, regardless of the man delivering it. Just understand that that man actually has the ability to cause and affect the things that are said in the speech. Y'all ready? Here's what we're going to do. I want y'all to breathe for a minute, okay, I want y'all to just shake things off, any preconceived notions that you have in your mind. We're going to shake that off. This is a fun little exercise for you and me today. Maybe you already listened yesterday and that's great. We're going to recap some things today. If you didn't listen, then even more beautiful, right. But whether you did or you didn't, I want you to clear your mind and I want you to start off with a perspective of a leader on day one putting out a speech to unify a country, a person that has the ability to actually cause and effect change, delivering this message. How do you receive it and how do you feel it? That is what we're doing today, gotcha.
Speaker 1:The golden age of America begins right now. From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world and be respected again all over the world. We will be the envy of every nation and we will not allow ourselves to be taken advantage of any longer. Think about that for a moment. That one speech right there me as a young child. If I was reading this speech in a history book, if this was delivered from Winston Churchill, from Abraham Lincoln, from anybody, I would have saved that and I would have focused on that. That's the power of what we're about to get into today. Think about American history. Think about a speech with a better opening line than that. I think that was one of the most powerful opening lines to his speech I have ever heard.
Speaker 1:The golden age of America begins right now when you put into context how difficult the times are, how trying the times are in this country, the fact that I can't rub two pennies together to make a damn nickel. Right now I am penny pinching and I am robbing Peter to pay Paul, I am foreclosing and refinancing and everything God darndarsh-gone-dang-it-son-of-a-biscuit thing I can possibly do to carry my fat ass across state lines to show up in Florida to hopefully put our brand on the map. I am doing everything I possibly can to survive and to stay alive, and I know that I'm not the only one. I know so many of you that are out there that are suffering, that are struggling, that are just trying to pull through, just trying to get through. So when a man that can cause and affect change opens his speech with a line, the golden age of America begins now, that is power. That, right there, gives me goosebumps. Take any notion, any preconceived notion, any opinion that you have about President Trump, put it aside. I know that I'm a Trump fan, I know that he's my favorite president of all time, but to those of you that have your opinions of him that don't respect him, I will value and understand your opinion, but please, for one moment, think about the power of that line. Think about the power of that line, with all the adversity facing you, me and this great country, to have the cojones to stand up and deliver with conviction. The golden age of America begins right now. I love it. I could end this entire podcast on that one friggin' note, but we're going to move on and we're going to get into some of this and this is how we're going to react to this. We're going to do some paragraphs and we might share a few nuggets as we get through them. Right, let's go Rock and roll During every single day of the Trump administration.
Speaker 1:I will very simply put America first. Our sovereignty will be reclaimed, our safety will be restored, the scales of justice will be rebalanced, the vicious, violent and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end, and our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud, prosperous and free. Ooh baby, do I have goosebumps already? We are only two paragraphs in and I just can't stand it. I can close my eyes and envision the greatest of American leaders of the history of this great country delivering a speech like this. You get goosebumps because I can see this delivered from a mountaintop on a battlefield. I can see this from the steps of a courthouse. I can see this all across this great land. Think about how powerful that is. I will very simply put America first. Our sovereignty will be reclaimed, our safety will be restored, the scales of justice will be rebalanced, the vicious, violent and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department and our government will end, and our top priority will be to create a nation that is proud and prosperous and free. America will soon be greater, stronger and far more exceptional than ever before. I return to the presidency confident and optimistic that we are at the start of a thrilling new era of national success. A tide of change is sweeping the country, sunlight is pouring over the entire world and America has the chance to seize this opportunity like never before. But first we must be honest about the challenges we face. While they are plentiful, they will be annihilated by this great momentum, and the world is now witnessing, and the United States of America, as we gather.
Speaker 1:Today, our government confronts a crisis of trust. For many years, the radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens, while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly in complete despair. We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home, while at the same time stumbling into continuing catalog of catastrophic events abroad. It fails to protect our magnificent, law-abiding American citizens, but provides sanctuary and protection for dangerous criminals, many from prisons and mental institutions that have illegally entered our country from all over the world. We have a government that has given unlimited funding to the defense of foreign borders but refuses to defend American borders and, more importantly, its own people.
Speaker 1:Our country can no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency, as recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina, who have been treated so badly, and other states who are still suffering from a hurricane that took place many months ago, or, more recently, los Angeles, where we are watching fires still tragically burn from months ago. Or more recently in Los Angeles, where we are watching fires still tragically burn from weeks ago, without even a token of defense. But we can't let this happen. Everyone is unable to do anything about it. That's going to change. We have a public health system that does not deliver in times of disaster, yet more money is spent on it than any country anywhere in the world and we have an education system that teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves, in many cases, to hate our country, despite the love that we try so desperately to provide to them. All of this will change, starting today, and it will change very quickly.
Speaker 1:I want to stop right there and interject on a few things. Here we are the beginning of a new year, right 2025. We've had previous episodes where we talk about forecasting goals and setting dreams, making changes, and we have all these conversations about the fact that, if we're going to make a change, we must first accept the fact that we need to change, and we must be honest about what needs to change and all the obstacles in our way towards that change, right? So, if we just break down the fundamentals of the speech and realize that, as our president starts to outline everything he starts it off with, but first we must be honest about the challenges we face, think about that. We're not shooting things under the rug. We're not saying, yes, this, you know, no issue, minor scenario. We're going to overcome this. No, let's be honest about this.
Speaker 1:While they are plentiful, while we list all these challenges and oh, how great they are, the optimistic point of view to be confident enough to say optimistic point of view to be confident enough to say but first we must be honest about the challenges we face. While they are plentiful, they will be annihilated. What a freaking word Annihilated. We're not talking about overcome, we're not talking about beat and defeat, we're talking about annihilated. Annihilated by this great momentum that the world is now witnessing in the United States of America. I tell you what man y'all always hear me talk about that positive ball of momentum. Here is Trump outlining the greatest ball of positivity and momentum ever the United States and the movement that is taking place Unbelievable. If we move a few more paragraphs down and we get into the education system, I want to touch on this one a little bit, because I have a personal experience with this one, and we have an education system that teaches our children to be ashamed of themselves in many cases, to hate our country, despite the love that we try so desperately to provide to them Right there.
Speaker 1:You guys have been listening for a while. If you're a day one, if you've been on this journey with me since 2020, 237 freaking episodes you've heard some of the struggles that we face as a brand on the road. Loud, proud American is a patriotic brand. We represent the American spirit and our number one focus is to grow American manufacturing and to celebrate what it is that makes us proud to be American. Right, I've always made the speech to each and every one of you that it's never been more critical at a time and place in history to be a patriotic American, to be loud and proud of being that patriotic American. It's never been more critical. It's never been more important than right now because of the times that we've been facing. President Trump is outlining those times. As I talked to you about being a loud, proud American, as I said, if you've been listening through the years and you hear us on the road.
Speaker 1:You've heard how many times we've been encountered by resistance, by people that don't want us to be there. They don't want our patriotic brand to be at a fair, they don't want us at a local festival. They don't want us at a school system because we are some right-wing political conspiracy group. We're not just red, white and blue bleeding Americans, when our whole mission has been to provide American manufacturing, to grow American jobs. We've been met with resistance and as I talk to so many of these young kids, so many of them have told me I love your stuff, but I've been kicked out of school for wearing your stuff. I've been suspended for wearing your stuff. For wearing a t-shirt that has an American frag on it that says you're proud to be American, you've been kicked out of school. I've spoken with countless parents who told me my son was dress coded, my daughter was sent home because of your clothes. They weren't taking it out on me. They were appreciating me and saying we're going to continue to support you, but I can't let my kid wear those things in school. Where are we? That does not sound like America. That sounds like a third world country. That does not sound like America, where you are told you cannot wear the American flag Un-freaking-believable.
Speaker 1:All of this will change starting today freaking believable. All of this will change starting today and this will change very quickly. Thank you, president Trump, for allowing the children across this country to be proud Americans, to again be allowed to be patriotic, to not get pushed around, to not get bullied, to not get made fun of because they're wearing an American flag. That is so asinine and unbelievable that if you asked me, even five years ago, I never in a million years would imagine that that's something that would be taking place, right Un-freaking-believable. Thank you, president Trump. By him doing this, and hopefully these schools and these programs, everything starts to follow suit with these changes. When he doesn't allow kids to be bullied anymore, when he starts to remove funding for schools for some of this nonsense, that kids are going to be encouraged to be patriotic again, and that in itself is a huge boost to business for a patriotic brand, because it's hard to grow a business and a brand when you're being told you should be ashamed to be patriotic. Our recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal and all of these many betrayals that have taken place, and to give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy and, indeed, their freedom. From this moment on, america's decline is over.
Speaker 1:Oh man, me being the motivational, inspirational you know, coach speak type of dude I'm always looking for these pivotal, critical quotes and inspirations, right, I'm always the one that's saving. Um, like all the little memes you know, like, when you the super crazy, uh, motivational quotes, right as a kid I was the one that would have. Oh, there's a random guy running through the mountains, and here's insert emotional, inspirational quote here. Here's a random dude laying on the football field with mud and grass all over his face. Insert quote here. I can totally see, 10, 15, 20 years from now, the future. Young me, right, whether it's little Paisley Rain or somebody else that is raised like me, that learns like me and is looking through these things and realizing this was a critical, pivotal moment in US history.
Speaker 1:The quote that literally says our recent election is a mandate to completely and totally reverse a horrible betrayal and all of these many betrayals that have taken place, and to give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy and, indeed, their freedom. From this moment on, america's decline is over. How many of you can see posters in the future. Give the people back their faith, their wealth, their democracy and indeed, their freedom. From this moment on, america's decline is over. Our liberties and our nation's glorious destiny will no longer be denied, and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency and loyalty of America's government. Oh, come on, baby, just start printing posters now. Are you kidding me? Our liberties and our nation's glorious destiny will no longer be denied. We will immediately restore the integrity, competency and loyalty of America's government. Oh, how sweet it is.
Speaker 1:Over the past eight years, I have been tested and challenged more than any president in our 250-year history, and I've learned a lot along the way. The journey to proclaim our republic has not been an easy one. That I can tell you. Before I get into what I feel is one of the most powerful lines ever delivered in a speech in the great history of this great country, I want to just highlight this piece right here. For all the people that criticize President Trump and all the people that weren't happy with his actions and how he handled his first four years, you got to give some grace to the fact that, literally in this little paragraph here, I've been tested and challenged more than any president in our 250-year history. You completely cannot deny that. And I've been tested and challenged more than any president in our 250 year history. You completely cannot deny that. And I've learned a lot along the way. Think about it, folks. This is a man that's learned from his experiences, from his challenges. He's not lying when he says that he's the most challenged president in our history, far beyond anybody could possibly imagine. And we're going to get into that right now.
Speaker 1:Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and indeed take my life. Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin's bullet ripped through my ear, pennsylvania field, an assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. But I felt then, and I believe even more so now, that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again. Wow, wow, that's. I'm going to say it again, folks. That is the most powerful line that I've ever seen delivered in a speech in US history. My personal opinion. When I saw him give that speech, when he gave those lines, I started crying on my own couch, drinking a coffee with my little daughter watching US history, with my daughter crying for our new president and the direction of our country.
Speaker 1:How crazy is it to think that he's delivering this speech on MLK Day to think about all that Martin Luther King went through. The history books are going to show all the stuff that President Trump went through and you can draw a parallel in some of the craziness. You can draw a real connection into the struggles, both vastly different. Right, I'm not hear me out here, folks. I'm not trying to say that they're the same, okay, I'm not trying to compare each other's struggles. What I'm just saying they both faced insurmountable struggles. Here is a man that is a millionaire, billionaire, trillionaire, whatever you want to call him. He does not need to be the president of the United States. He's doing this for us. He nearly lost his life, two assassination attempts being shot on live TV.
Speaker 1:The realization that is made that he is brave enough to say is unbelievable I was saved by God to make America great again. I'm never going to forget that line. I'm always going to relive that line. I'm telling you right now, this, right here if they don't burn history books in the future, if they don't try to wipe and eradicate our history off the face of this earth, 20 years, 50 years, 100 years down the road, people are going to be remembering and reading and watching this part of the speech right here. Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and indeed to take my life. Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. But I felt then, and I believe even more so now, that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again. As much as I love the opening line to this speech that right there should have been the closer. It's incredibly powerful and it would leave a lasting memory, but I highlighted it and I'm always going to save it. It's an incredible line.
Speaker 1:That is why, each day, under our administration of American patriots, we will be working to meet every crisis with dignity and power and strength. We will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope, prosperity, safety and peace for citizens of every race, religion, color or creed. For American citizens, january 20th 2025 is Liberation Day. Oh my God, that is so much power there. Folks, come on, think about it. You have a person that can cause and affect the direction of a nation in front of all people, in front of the whole world. We will move with purpose and speed to bring back hope, prosperity, safety and peace for citizens of every race, religion, color and creed. Wow, is that powerful.
Speaker 1:It is my hope that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country. As our victory showed, the entire nation is rapidly unifying behind our agenda, with dramatic increases in support from virtually every element of our society, young and old, men and women, african Americans, hispanic Americans, asian Americans, urban, suburban and rural, to the Black and Hispanic communities. I want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and trust that you have shown me with your vote. We set records and I will not forget it. I heard your voices in the campaign and I look forward to working with you in the years to come. Today is Martin Luther King Day and in his honor, this will be a great honor, but in his honor, we will strive together to make his dream a reality. We will make his dream come true. Oh my God, I am covered in goosebumps. I have chills right now. Those words delivered on MLK Day, speaking of the unity realizing that this country is unified.
Speaker 1:We've had four years of experience with mainstream media, social media, all forms of media telling you that you are alone, telling you that your thoughts don't connect, that you are not unified. You are not connected, you do not have support. You are on your own for thinking the way that you think. You were wrong. News channels CNN, nonsense, msnbc. I don't care who you are, you were wrong. News channels CNN, nonsense, msnbc I don't care who you are. You were wrong. The polls show we are connected, no matter race, religion, no matter color of skin. It does not matter. The truth is in the pudding. We are connected to the people that have questioned President Trump, to all the things we've seen on the news and the media mainstream media, social media saying that he's a racist, saying that you know you're not black if you vote for President Trump. To all the you know Hispanics saying that if you vote for him, you're going to get deported. All this nonsense that was put on the news.
Speaker 1:Could you imagine this man delivering these words? No, you can't, because the picture they paint it isn't the man that stands before us. This is incredible. Think about the power of these words delivered on Martin Luther King Day. Today is Martin Luther King Day and his honor. This will be a great honor. But in his honor we will strive together to make his dream a reality. We will make his dream come true.
Speaker 1:National unity is now returning to America and confidence and pride are soaring like never before. In everything we do, my administration will be inspired by a strong pursuit of excellence and unrelenting success. We will not forget our country. We will not forget our country. We will not forget our constitution and we will not forget our God. Oh man, I don't recall a more powerful speech given at a more pivotal time. I really don't. This week, I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life. We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based. As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that we are only two genders male and female man. I hate to keep pounding these facts, but I have to. I have to.
Speaker 1:On Martin Luther King Day, if you close your eyes for a minute and you hear me read these words, can you imagine Martin Luther King himself delivering this message? We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based. Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character. There's a great parallel in those two very important messages. One of the most iconic speeches ever, delivered by Martin Luther King himself Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the contents of his character. There's an extreme parallel with the words. We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based. It is one and the same. We can all have the same dream.
Speaker 1:We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end and, perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into. All the Trump haters out there, I can probably hear their minds exploding right now. Think about that. We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end and, perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into. The picture that has been painted about this leader is that he's war hungry, that he's violence driven, when in fact he's measuring success, most importantly, by the wars we never get into. My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier. That's what I want to be a peacemaker and a unifier. The image that is created. We've said it many times before perception is reality. Whatever you perceive to be shall be. The media has painted a picture for this great country of ours, and that picture is far different than the words that are being delivered. We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end and, perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into. My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier. That's what I want to be a peacemaker and unifier. Above all.
Speaker 1:My message to Americans today is that it is time for us to once again act with courage, vigor and vitality of history's greatest civilization. There's no nation like our nation. Americans are explorers, builders, innovators, entrepreneurs and pioneers. The spirit of the frontier is written into our hearts. The call of the next great adventure resounds from within our souls. Our American ancestors turned a small group of colonies on the edge of a vast continent into a mighty republic of the most extraordinary citizens on earth. No one comes close. Americans pushed thousands of miles through rugged land and untamed wilderness. They crossed deserts, scaled mountains, braved untold dangers, won the wild west, ended slavery, rescued millions from tyranny, lifted millions from poverty, harnessed electricity, split the atom, launched mankind into the heavens and put the universe of human knowledge into the palm of the human hand. If we work together, there is nothing we cannot do and no dream we cannot achieve. Man, some of the most inspiring words written right there. When I heard that message yesterday, when I was listening to that and when he spoke to the spirit of the frontier, is written into our hearts. When he talked about explorers, builders, innovators, pioneers, entrepreneurs, I felt it. I felt that to be me. When you listen to all the struggles that we've endured and overcome, it gives me a great sense of hope that I, too, can overcome.
Speaker 1:As I deliver this recording, I'm a couple weeks off of a message that I delivered to each and every one of you that I'm betting on my business and my brand and we are embarking on a journey that I'm heading to Florida. I was accepted in Daytona Bike Week and I'm going to put everything on the line as I'm delivering this speech. I come to you with great burden of debt. I've never been more financially tight. I've never been more financially strapped. I've never been more financially unsecured than I am right now. I am robbing Peter to pay Paul. I am shaving carrots to make straws, and I know that doesn't make any damn sense, but that just happened in my head right now To create and paint a picture that is on the verge of poverty. Because I believe in a dream, because I believe in a mission, because I value a brand and we have a cause and a reason, and I'm putting it all on the damn line. Reason, and I'm putting it all on the damn line.
Speaker 1:You are faced with days and moments of great self-sabotage, self-doubt. It becomes harder and harder as the days pass to face your little baby girl and realize that you've created an amazing mess for yourself as you chase your dream. Created an amazing mess for yourself as you chase your dream. Hearing that speech, those words, gives me hope. It gives me a great deal of hope. Builders, innovators, entrepreneurs and pioneers, the spirit of the frontier is written in our hearts. The call of the next great adventure resounds from within our souls.
Speaker 1:Our American ancestors turned a small group of colonies on the edge of vast continent into a mighty republic of the most extraordinary citizens on earth. No one comes close. Americans pushed thousands of miles through rugged land and untamed wilderness. They crossed deserts, scaled mountains, braved untold dangers, won the wild west, ended slavery, rescued millions from tyranny, lifted millions from poverty, harnessed electricity, split the atom launched mankind into the heavens and put the universe of human knowledge into the palm of the human hand. If we work together, there is nothing we cannot do and no dream we cannot achieve. That gives me hope that there is nothing that I cannot do and nothing I cannot achieve is nothing that I cannot do and nothing I cannot achieve.
Speaker 1:Many people thought it was impossible for me to stage such a historic political comeback, but as you see, today, here I am. The American people have spoken. I stand before you now as proof that you should never believe that something is impossible to do. Those words are fuel to my fire. Those words can relight my desire. I hope that these things are speaking to you. I hope that they're resonating in you.
Speaker 1:In America, the impossible is what we do best. After all we have been through together. We stand on the verge of our four greatest years in American history. With your help, we will restore an American promise and we will rebuild the nation that we love. We are one people, one family and one glorious nation under God. So, with every parent who dreams for their child and every child who dreams for their future, I am with you. I will fight for you and I will win for you and we're going to win like never before. Oh man, am I getting to it? Baby, am I getting fired up? This hits so directly on target for me. This is on brand, this is on point.
Speaker 1:But all the kids are saying stand on business. Oh, it's true, it is damn true. All is on point. What all the kids are saying, stand on business. Oh, it's true, it is damn true. All these words ring oh so true for me and they give me the courage to continue. We are one people, one family, a one glorious nation under God. So to every parent who dreams for their child and every child to dream for their future, I am with you, I will fight for you and I will win for you child and every child to dream for their future. I am with you, I will fight for you and I will win for you, and we're going to win like never before.
Speaker 1:In recent years, our nation has suffered greatly, but we are going to bring it back and make it great again, greater than ever before. We will be a nation like no other, full of compassion, courage and exceptionalism. Our power will stop all wars and bring a new spirit of unity to a world that has been angry, violent and totally unpredictable. Guys, I hope you really truly understand that if we band together, if we show up day in and day out as loud, proud Americans, patriotic ones that live with passion and compassion, that we are sending a message to the world that we can make a difference, our power will stop all wars and bring a new spirit of unity to a world that has been angry, violent and totally unpredictable. How sweet it would be to live in a world of unity. How sweet it would feel to once again feel safe. It's all here in front of us, guys. America will be respected again and admired again, including by people of religion, faith and goodwill. We will be prosperous, we will be proud, we will be strong and we will win like never before. We will not be conquered, we will not be intimidated, we will not be broken and we will be intimidated. We will not be broken and we will not fail. From this day on, the United States of America will be free, sovereign and independent nation. We will stand bravely, we will live proudly, we will dream boldly and nothing will stand in our way because we are Americans. The future is ours and our golden age has just begun. Thank you, god bless America. Thank you all. Thank you, hot diggity, damn.
