The US Army 1302 02:22:26,520 --> 02:22:31,800 Speaker 38: has driven bayonets into the heart of sinister empires, crushed 1303 02:22:31,840 --> 02:22:37,520 Speaker 38: the ambitions of evil tyrants beneath the threads of American tanks. 1304 02:22:37,600 --> 02:22:40,720 Speaker 38: It's done so well, It's done so much, and sent 1305 02:22:40,879 --> 02:22:46,640 Speaker 38: the devil himself flying into full retreat timing again.

And 1313 02:23:20,400 --> 02:23:25,440 Speaker 38: that's why no institution in history has entered more names 1314 02:23:26,200 --> 02:23:30,520 Speaker 38: into the roster of American heroes than the US Army, 1315 02:23:30,640 --> 02:23:32,840 Speaker 38: the Congressional Medal of Honor. 1316 02:23:32,840 --> 02:23:35,320 Speaker 7: More than anyone or anything. 1317 02:23:36,240 --> 02:23:40,760 Speaker 38: There was Mad Anthony Wayne, asked by George Washington to 1318 02:23:40,920 --> 02:23:43,920 Speaker 38: lead a daring midnight rate up the cliffs of Stony 1319 02:23:44,000 --> 02:23:48,640 Speaker 38: Point with unloaded muskets and only their bayonets to fight 1320 02:23:48,800 --> 02:23:54,280 Speaker 38: the Redcoats. Mad Anthony replied, issue the order, sir, and 1321 02:23:54,440 --> 02:24:02,280 Speaker 38: I will storm into hell for you. Then there was 1322 02:24:03,000 --> 02:24:07,440 Speaker 38: the Civil War General John Course. Shot in the face 1323 02:24:08,200 --> 02:24:11,680 Speaker 38: in combat, he fired off a message to his commander, 1324 02:24:12,440 --> 02:24:15,560 Speaker 38: I am short at cheek, bone and one. 1325 02:24:15,480 --> 02:24:18,280 Speaker 7: Ear, but I am able to whip the hell out 1326 02:24:18,320 --> 02:24:21,520 Speaker 7: of all of them.

Fighting for something that's 1465 02:34:11,920 --> 02:34:14,959 Speaker 48: bigger than you and being part of something that's bigger 1466 02:34:15,040 --> 02:34:16,920 Speaker 48: than you.

It says, oh, no, no, no, 1784 03:03:34,440 --> 03:03:37,400 Speaker 54: the world is terrible and full of equality, inequality. So 1785 03:03:37,480 --> 03:03:40,120 Speaker 54: we've got to change the world and create better people 1786 03:03:40,200 --> 03:03:42,640 Speaker 54: in a better future. So they don't accept at all, 1787 03:03:42,640 --> 03:03:45,959 Speaker 54: They don't even appreciate what all of these people have done. 1788 03:03:45,959 --> 03:03:48,040 Speaker 48: What all of the lives and the blood that's been 1789 03:03:48,080 --> 03:03:50,480 Speaker 48: shed for us. And right up right across the street, 1790 03:03:50,520 --> 03:03:53,320 Speaker 48: you could, if it was a clear day, if there's 1791 03:03:53,320 --> 03:03:55,680 Speaker 48: a day out, you could see Arlington Cemetery from here. 1792 03:03:55,840 --> 03:03:58,440 Speaker 48: All right, So go over there, go over there and 1793 03:03:58,560 --> 03:04:01,640 Speaker 48: tell those folks that our past doesn't matter. 1794 03:04:01,760 --> 03:04:03,199 Speaker 54: No, it actually does, and it matters. 1795 03:04:03,040 --> 03:04:03,440 Speaker 11: Quite a bit. 1796 03:04:03,720 --> 03:04:06,400 Speaker 51: Do you think to that point, Jane, do you think 1797 03:04:06,760 --> 03:04:11,959 Speaker 51: that's partially why the left was so vehemently against this happening, 1798 03:04:12,160 --> 03:04:14,440 Speaker 51: Because that's such a great point. 1799 03:04:14,520 --> 03:04:14,680 Speaker 35: Jack. 1800 03:04:15,040 --> 03:04:17,600 Speaker 51: You see those eras and you think you can't help 1801 03:04:17,640 --> 03:04:19,240 Speaker 51: but watch that when you see that and had a 1802 03:04:19,280 --> 03:04:22,080 Speaker 51: girl standing behind us that had a sign that said 1803 03:04:22,160 --> 03:04:22,800 Speaker 51: this is weird. 1804 03:04:23,360 --> 03:04:26,560 Speaker 37: And all I could think was, what is weird about this? 1805 03:04:26,760 --> 03:04:29,640 Speaker 51: Celebrating America, celebrating the men and women that have died 1806 03:04:29,680 --> 03:04:32,400 Speaker 51: for this country, the generations that have died for this country. 1807 03:04:32,440 --> 03:04:36,440 Speaker 51: When you think about the opposition, who's celebrating transgenderism and 1808 03:04:37,040 --> 03:04:42,080 Speaker 51: genital mutilation and undermining america sovereignty on our borders and 1809 03:04:42,200 --> 03:04:45,480 Speaker 51: supporting communism and taking God out of society and replacing 1810 03:04:45,520 --> 03:04:46,120 Speaker 51: it with the devil. 1811 03:04:46,480 --> 03:04:48,800 Speaker 37: You look at that and you compare that to today. 1812 03:04:48,879 --> 03:04:51,760 Speaker 37: How important is what Jack was talking about? Do you 1813 03:04:51,840 --> 03:04:53,600 Speaker 37: think is preserving that? 1814 03:04:53,760 --> 03:04:56,880 Speaker 51: And how afraid are the left of that actually taking 1815 03:04:57,000 --> 03:04:57,800 Speaker 51: root back in our country? 1816 03:04:58,080 --> 03:05:01,560 Speaker 55: The hyperfixation of the left has been to erase our histories. 1817 03:05:01,600 --> 03:05:03,680 Speaker 55: They've gone into the schools, They've changed. 1818 03:05:03,440 --> 03:05:05,760 Speaker 56: The narrative with this DEI craziness. 1819 03:05:05,879 --> 03:05:09,000 Speaker 55: They've gone in and wanted to destroy our military history. 1820 03:05:09,000 --> 03:05:11,280 Speaker 56: And I think what was so powerful of today is 1821 03:05:11,320 --> 03:05:13,680 Speaker 56: from running through all the way from the revolution to 1822 03:05:13,840 --> 03:05:17,080 Speaker 56: the global War on Terror, it showed that hey, we're 1823 03:05:17,120 --> 03:05:19,440 Speaker 56: here to celebrate our past and we're going to instill 1824 03:05:19,520 --> 03:05:22,000 Speaker 56: that in future generations, and not only instill that, but 1825 03:05:22,160 --> 03:05:26,039 Speaker 56: also instill the Peace through Strength initiative that President Trump 1826 03:05:26,160 --> 03:05:29,200 Speaker 56: wants to instill to ensure that future generations are not 1827 03:05:29,320 --> 03:05:30,959 Speaker 56: subjected to endless. 1828 03:05:30,840 --> 03:05:32,080 Speaker 16: Wars that are unnecessary. 1829 03:05:34,680 --> 03:05:37,440 Speaker 51: We are at a turning point in our country, and Brad, 1830 03:05:37,440 --> 03:05:39,560 Speaker 51: I don't want to put you on the spot being 1831 03:05:39,879 --> 03:05:43,000 Speaker 51: the eldest on the stage right now, but you you 1832 03:05:43,480 --> 03:05:45,480 Speaker 51: lived through some of those eras that we didn't get. 1833 03:05:45,680 --> 03:05:45,920 Speaker 21: That's all. 1834 03:05:46,000 --> 03:05:46,040 Speaker 15: Ca. 1835 03:05:46,120 --> 03:05:47,040 Speaker 16: Steve's not here, that's it. 1836 03:05:47,360 --> 03:05:48,040 Speaker 37: Steve is here. 1837 03:05:48,560 --> 03:05:50,880 Speaker 51: But having lived through that, you look at those the 1838 03:05:50,920 --> 03:05:53,440 Speaker 51: way the left is really trying to tear down this country. 1839 03:05:54,520 --> 03:05:57,480 Speaker 51: And I always think about this, what the counterculture used 1840 03:05:57,480 --> 03:05:57,600 Speaker 51: to be. 1841 03:05:57,760 --> 03:05:58,400 Speaker 37: We are that now. 1842 03:05:58,760 --> 03:06:01,520 Speaker 51: In the sixties, the counterculture was the peace and love 1843 03:06:01,640 --> 03:06:04,879 Speaker 51: and the hippie movement.
