TRANSCRIPT:
[01:48:29] Ron Armstrong: Thank you, Frank, [01:48:30] I appreciate yours and everyone’s time. Over the last couple of hours, you have heard from more than a dozen military organizations and conservative leaders from America who have laid out the problems and also the solutions that exist today. The systematic problems that exist in America and its military. As it’s mentioned many times, it starts with the leadership and President Trump’s nomination. And we certainly are urging the confirmation [01:49:00] of Pete Hegseth to this very important position is certainly a major part in leading us to the solution that we all seek. We must return our military to one that has historically been based on merit, and one that is based on a goal of peace through strength, but more recently is based upon diversity, equity and inclusion. And its focus has been on dividing Americans, its soldiers and its people along racial, ethnical, sexual and other identities and [01:49:30] ideologies. We are truly at a crossroads. Or I say a fork in the road, and our time is indeed short. We must, as leaders and as Americans, choose this path carefully. And we certainly have to be thankful for the recent results of this election, the election of President Trump. We, I think, all knew at the time that he was shot or this last summer, that God had spared his life for a reason. The American people collectively responded [01:50:00] and elected him.
[01:50:01] Ron Armstrong: And now the difficult work is certainly here for all of us. We must demand both a strategic and a systematic approach to purge America’s military, as well as other government agencies of the anti-American and the anti-God policies that exist today. We owe it to the American people. We owe it to our country. We owe it to our soldiers. We certainly owe it to the American people. And probably most importantly, we owe it to the founders [01:50:30] of this great nation. In 2026, we will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of this great country. And I ask you all a very important question. What is it we will be celebrating in 2026? If it is up to our enemies, both foreign and domestic, including the globalists that lead the World Economic Forum, the United Nations and the World Health Organization, they seek to dismantle this great nation by destroying, ignoring and eliminating, [01:51:00] if possible, the Constitution and the foundational principles of our freedom and liberty of this great constitutional Republic. I want to just reemphasize that we do still hold these truths self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with unalienable rights, and among these are life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Ronald Reagan said, we have problems in our country, and many are praying and waiting on God to do something. [01:51:30] And I just am wondering if maybe he is waiting on us to do something.
[01:51:35] Ron Armstrong: And while no one is capable of doing everything, everyone is capable of doing something. Great quote by Ronald Reagan is true. Today is the day that he spoke at each and every one of us. Each and every one of you must now take action, and we must have our voices be heard both at a local level, through your representatives, through your senators, and certainly at a national level. We [01:52:00] ask you to share this video. We ask you to visit the website Save America’s Military. Org and to click on the align act that is there, which will allow you to quickly and easily send a pre-prepared message directly to your Senator to encourage the quick confirmation of Pete Hegseth. As the Secretary of Defense, Thomas Jefferson said, we need to educate and inform the whole masses of the people. They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of liberty, [01:52:30] and I believe personally that the best of America is yet to come. But it is truly up to each and every one of us, not just to the elected leaders. And I will finish with this and say, pray as if everything depends upon God. But we need to work as if everything depends upon us, because it might very well be the case. Thank you, Frank.
