... 1776 represented the culmination of thousands of years of Western civilization ... And yet, as we meet here tonight, there is a growing danger that threatens every blessing. Our ancestors fought so hard for struggled. They bled to secure. Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history to fame.

Our heroes erase our values and indoctrinate. Our children. Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders to face our most sacred memorials and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities. Many of these people have no idea why they're doing this, but some know exactly what they are doing. They think the American people are weak and soft and submissive, but now the American people are strong and proud and they will not allow our country and all of its values, history and culture to be taken from them.

One of their political weapons is cancel culture, driving people from their jobs, shaming, dissenters, and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees. This is the very definition of totalitarianism and it is completely alien to our culture and to our values. And it has absolutely no place in the United States of America.

This attack on our Liberty. Our magnificent Liberty must be stopped, and it will be stopped very quickly. We will expose this dangerous movement, protect our nation's children and this radical assault and preserve our beloved American way of life in our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms.

There is a new far left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. If you do not speak its language performance rituals, recite its mantras and follow its command. Then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished. It's not going to happen to us. Make no mistake. This left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American revolution in so doing, they would destroy the very civilization that rescued billions from poverty, disease, violence, and hunger, and that lifted humanity to new Heights of achievement, discovery, and progress to make this possible.

They are determined to tear down every statue, symbol, and memory of our national heritage. That's very true, actually. That is why I am deploying federal law enforcement to protect our monuments, arrest the riders prosecuting offenders to the fullest extent of the law. I am pleased to report that yesterday...

Federal agents arrested the suspected ringleader of the attack on the statue of the great Andrew Jackson in Washington, DC. And in addition, hundreds more have been arrested. Under the executive order I signed last week, pertaining to the veterans Memorial preservation and recognition act and other laws, people who damage or deface federal statues or monuments will get a minimum of 10 years in prison.

... Our people have a great memory. They will never forget the destruction of statues and monuments to George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, abolitionists and many others. The violent mayhem we have seen in the streets and cities that are run by liberal Democrats in every case is the predictable result of years of extreme indoctrination and bias and education, journalism, and other cultural institutions against every law of society and nature.

Our children are taught in school to hate their own country. And to believe that the men and women who built it were not heroes, but that were villains. The radical view of American history is a web of lies. All perspective is removed. Every virtue is obscured. Every motive is twisted. Every fact is distorted and every floor has magnified until the history is purged.

... This movement is openly attacking the legacies of every person on Mount Rushmore. They defile the memory of Washington, Jefferson Lincoln and Roosevelt. Today we will set history and history's records straight. Before these figures were immortalized in stone...

No movement that seeks to dismantle these treasured American legacies can possibly have a love of America at its heart. Can't happen. No person who remains quiet at the destruction of this resplendent heritage can possibly lead us to a better future....

The radical ideology attacking our country advances under the banner of social justice, but in truth, it would demolish both justice and society. It would transform justice into an instrument of division and vengeance, and it would turn our free and inclusive society into a place of repression, domination, and exclusion.

They want to silence us, but we will not be silenced. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. We will stay the truth and full without apology. We declare that the United States of America is the most, just an exceptional nation ever to exist ...

... We believe in equal opportunity, equal justice and equal treatment for citizens of every race, background, religion, and create every child of every color born and unborn is made in the Holy image of God. We want free and open debate, not speech codes and cancel culture...

We embrace tolerance, not prejudice. We support the courageous men and women of law enforcement. We will never abolish our police or our great second amendment, which gives us the right to keep and bear arms. We believe that our children should be taught to love their country, honor their history and respect our great American flag. ...

...We stand tall, we stand proud and we only kneel to almighty God ... as we strive to build an even better and greater future. Those who seek to erase our heritage, want Americans to forget our pride and our great dignity so that we can no longer understand ourselves or America's destiny.

... In toppling the heroes of 1776, they seek to dissolve the bonds of love and loyalty that we feel for our country and that we feel for each other. Their goal is not a better America. Their goal is to end America. In its place. They want power for themselves, but just as patriots did in centuries past the American people will stand in their way and we will win and win quickly....

And with great dignity, We will never let them rip America's heroes from our monuments or from our hearts. By tearing down Washington and Jefferson, these radicals would tear down the very, for which men gave their lives to win the civil war. They would erase the memory that inspired those soldiers to go to their deaths, singing these words of the battle hymn of the Republic. ...

... They would tear down the principles that propelled the abolition of slavery and ultimately around the world ending an evil institution that had plagued humanity for thousands and thousands of years, our opponents would tear apart the very documents that Martin Luther King used to express his dream and the ideas that were the foundation of the righteous movement for civil rights, they would tear down the beliefs, culture, and identity that have made America the most vibrant and tolerant society in the history of the earth....

For the sake of our honor, for the sake of our children, for the sake of our union, we must protect and preserve our history, our heritage, and our great heroes here tonight before the eyes of our forefathers Americans declare again, as we did 244 years ago, we will not be tyrannized. We will not be demeaned and we will not be intimidated by bad evil people...

...So today under the authority vested in me as President of the United States, I am announcing the creation of a new monument to the giants of our past. I am signing an executive order to establish the national guard of American heroes, a vast outdoor park that will feature the statues of the greatest Americans to ever live....

From this night, and from this magnificent place, let us go forward United in our purpose and re-dedicated in our resolve, we will raise the next generation of American Patriots. We will write the next thrilling chapter of the American adventure. And we will teach our children to know that they live in a land of legends, that nothing can stop them and that no one can hold them down....

...And that our enemies fear, because we will never forget that the American freedom exists for American greatness. And that's what we have American greatness. Centuries from now, our legacy will be the cities. We built the champions we forged the good that we did and the monuments we created to inspire us ...
