CLEAN REWRITE (POLISHED MONOLOGUE)

The one thing that has always anchored the United States of America — and by the grace of God always will — is this truth: we are a Christian nation.

Only God can promise salvation in heaven. But together, we can fulfill the promise of the greatest nation in the history of the earth.

Next month marks the one-year anniversary of the Trump administration, and I am damn proud of our record.

Meanwhile, Democrats are already obsessed with 2028. They’re trying to decide which California liberal they want to run — someone who presided over rolling blackouts, open borders, and violent gangs. Whether it’s Gavin Newsom or Kamala Harris, the result is the same.

And what are they offering Americans right now?

Frankly, they’re not sending their best.

Their candidates insult, smear, and posture — but when you look at the record, it collapses. And the reason they fear people like me isn’t because I’m perfect. It’s because I’m authentic. And authenticity rings true whether you’re a Texan or not. It resonates with everyday Americans who know when they’re being lied to.

So ask yourself this: what do all these people have in common?

They’re not leaders. They’re puppets. Cogs in a machine that wants you poorer, weaker, and less safe in the country your ancestors built.

While President Trump and I work to break that machine, the left remains powerful. Don’t fool yourselves. It’s activist groups pushing radical ideology on children. Corporate boardrooms preaching diversity while outsourcing American jobs. Rogue judges blocking the will of the people. Politicians who cheer chaos in their cities and call it progress.

They win when America loses.
They get rich while you struggle.
They censor you because they can’t win an honest argument.

And yes — they import voters because they know they can’t persuade the citizens already here.

But here’s the truth: we are going to defeat them. Next November, and every year after.

Because the American dream depends on the idea that we are one people. One nation. One family. And the fastest way to destroy that dream is to do exactly what the Democrats have done for decades — pit race against race, gender against gender, American against American.

Americans are hungry for identity. For belonging. For meaning.

And it’s no mystery why.

Globalism hollowed out our towns. Academia shoved ideology down our throats. Big Tech censored dissent. And in that vacuum, something sacred was removed.

Christianity.

Now let me be clear — you don’t have to be a Christian to be an American. But Christianity is America’s moral language. From the Revolution to the Civil War and beyond, our greatest debates weren’t about power — they were about how best to please God.

That creed shaped our belief in natural rights, human dignity, conscience, mercy, and responsibility to one another. Even religious liberty itself is a Christian idea — because all people are created by God and must be free to seek Him.

But for decades, the left waged war on Christianity. They pushed it out of schools, workplaces, and public life. Freedom of religion became freedom from religion. And when God was removed, something ugly filled the void.

Identity replaced faith.
Ideology replaced grace.
And zealotry replaced forgiveness.

Scripture says, “By their fruits you shall know them.”

So ask yourself: what fruits has this produced?

I lost my friend Charlie Kirk.

And the man who killed him embodied everything the far left celebrates — rejection of faith, rejection of family, addiction to pornography, addiction to hate, and total moral confusion.

That is the nightmare they market to young men.

And that is why we fight.

Because the fruits of Christianity are men like Charlie — good husbands, devoted fathers, builders, protectors, men willing to stand for truth even at great cost.

I’ll tell you something I haven’t shared publicly.

After Charlie’s death, I spiraled. I watched every video. Read every theory. Chased every rabbit hole. Night after night. My wife worried about me — truly worried.

What saved me wasn’t denial. It was acceptance.

We suffered a devastating loss. There’s no sugarcoating that.

But Christianity — like America — is a story of terrible loss followed by redemption. Dark nights give way to brighter dawns. God’s grace overflows when we least expect it.

Recently, I visited a Christian men’s ministry that helps addicts and the homeless rebuild their lives. Different races. Different backgrounds. Same result.

What saved them wasn’t grievance politics.
It wasn’t government jargon.
It wasn’t a check.

It was the fact that a carpenter died 2,000 years ago and changed the world.

You’ll find Christians feeding the hungry, caring for addicts, sitting beside hospice beds, staying when everyone else walks away.

That is the moral foundation of our politics.

Why do we fight outsourcing? Because work has dignity.
Why protect American labor? Because exploitation is wrong.
Why honor seniors? Because we honor our parents.
Why care for the poor? Because Christ commands it.

This is not shallow politics. This is moral governance.

So yes — be impatient. Be passionate. Get involved. Disagree. Argue. Debate.

Would you rather lead a movement of free thinkers, or obedient drones?

I miss Charlie Kirk deeply. His optimism. His wisdom. His reminders that politics isn’t a game — it shapes real lives.

So I’ll ask you:

Will you fight for what he stood for?
Will you defend this country?
Will you honor his memory with faith?

Because only God promises salvation — but together, we can restore this nation.

Merry Christmas.
God bless you.
And let’s keep fighting.
