Video transcript America was not founded by weak and timid men who cowered in the face of evil or sat by as danger loomed. We are the inheritors of the most incredible civilization that has ever existed and our task is to defend it. We have thrived and flourished because our founders were great, our cause was just, our people are brave, our culture is exceptional, and our destiny is written by God. And by the grace of God, the United States of America is the most successful, most accomplished, most exceptional nation ever to exist in human history. This is our heritage. This is our history. And this is the destiny of America to be the greatest, most incredible country ever to grace the Earth.” on September 30, 2026 at 7:08 PM ET.
