this year after a dismal two years of pure insult from our rulers in Washington. Can't be blamed for getting into the holiday spirit with the sense that this country is finally heading down the right track. We have Republican majorities, free speech taking over online, red states rising like the state of Florida where I live. Accountability to come for the administrative state that locked us down and lied about COVID. Hunter Biden's laptop, the withdrawal from Afghanistan. And it's not just domestically that our movement is ascendant. Thanksgiving is an American holiday, but there's much to be thankful for around the globe. Massive international victories for conservative parties winning in Italy and Sweden and Israel this year shows that our movement of God family country is certainly on the upswing. Back here in the States, Joe Biden is being criminally investigated by the House of Representatives, and they will begin impeachment proceedings for Secretary Mayorkas, who has opened our border and brought such pain and chaos on this country.

Those are things to be thankful for, truly. The World Economic Forum is being exposed as the Marxists they are. They're being clowned around the world. It is good to expose your enemy and their tactics, and we are getting better and better at it as a movement. The question remains, however, for us here in America, how much damage has been done in the last two years to our nation by a cruel ruling class that wishes to denigrate your quality of life? Your gas prices and grocery prices remain skyrocketing high, probably the most expensive Thanksgiving in your life this Thanksgiving. The American dream of

owning a property and a home is out of reach for many, many millions who should be firmly getting a start in life due to the borderline criminal economic policies of shutting our nation down for a virus of unspecified origin. This has really set back a huge number of young people. Of course, the inflation rates have caused interest rates to put homeownership out of reach for many. That's part of the american dream they are stealing away the american dream with sky-high gas prices printing trillions of dollars with the economy already overheated opening our borders even when workers in america cannot find jobs these people are truly evil the ruling class does hate you and they hate you because they hate the very thing that America was founded upon. You simply have too much freedom in this nation and our rulers are

too easily deposed as the midterm elections demonstrated. We've warned many times on this program that the ruling class will stop at literally nothing to maintain power. We've seen a bit of that. The fight goes on as censorship regimes, chaos and crime and fraudulence remains inside of our election systems and inside of the tools that they use to control us and to steal from us. So, stay vigilant. But there is one thing that the corrupt ruling class can never steal or cheat from you, regardless of how much Maricopa County wants to count their votes or break their election systems. It's your birthright. You're born with it here as Americans. You are an American, and that means that you are blessed with a heritage of this great country. And it's the greatest heritage any country on this world has ever known.

Instead of getting twisted over politics today, we wanted to begin by stating that America is a good country. It's a great country. And it's great because of our history. And we are proud of our heritage. We are proud of our heritage. We are proud of our ancestors. We should be. Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday. It celebrates giving thanks to God for our survival. It always has. And God has always been there for the survival of America. This nation was never guaranteed. In fact, odds were certainly against us and still are. The original Thanksgiving was in 1621. Pilgrims came to America in shoddy wooden vessels. Life was brutal. Harsh winters battered the pilgrims' boats and thin cottages. 78% of the women who first traveled on the Mayflower perished that winter.

There's only 50 colonists who attended the first Thanksgiving. According to eyewitness accounts, among the pilgrims, there were 22 men and just four women. Native Americans outnumbered colonists who came, I mean that's six out of ten original colonists died in the first year. God provided. They sat. They gave thanks. There was turkey. There were fruits of the harvest. There was a lot of seafood.

You don't find that in regular Thanksgivings, but they ate a lot of seafood. Oysters, mussels, eel, lobsters. The original accounts of the first Thanksgiving said that the bounty was so full that they ate for three days. It was a three-day celebration. That is how much God provided to the original pilgrims. They were here for what? Religious freedom. They were here to simply be left alone, to practice, to serve God, and to worship, and to live, and to raise their children in the manner that they saw fit in accordance with their God.

150 years later, the American Revolution was considered lost by many many times over a weary and tattered george washington knelt in the snow at valley forge he appealed to heaven as his troops lay scattered and freezing to death across the valley totally insurmountable. They were not going to win. But George Washington's appeal to heaven was actually turned into a banner that flew above his troops. Appeal to heaven. God provided. George Washington survived along with his troops. They were able to remuster, refit, and recharge, and literally charge Yorktown two summers later, ending the war and giving us the America that we live in today. All was lost and God provided. And so they gave thanks. At the Constitutional Convention, Ben Franklin, one of the founding fathers, spoke, he said, in his prayer to open our Constitutional Convention.

God governs in the affairs of men. If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? God provided. They gave thanks to God for the very creation of America at the Constitutional Convention. Abraham Lincoln appealed to heaven as Confederate troops surrounded Washington, D.C., pushed as far north as Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The Civil War was at this point essentially lost for the Union. The nation was breaking in two. Abraham Lincoln appealed to heaven.

He appealed to God, that same God that saved the pilgrims, George Washington that guided the Constitutional Convention. And there was a miraculous victory at Gettysburg, one that should have never happened, quite frankly. It should have been a rout. God provided. We remained one nation. In fact, we were a nation now finally able to live up to that virtue inside of our founding documents that all men are created equal. The Civil War and the end of that war is when our founding documents became real.

And that is why Abraham Lincoln set aside a national holiday of Thanksgiving. That's why we have this holiday today, on this weekend, on this day. It is written into a national executive order by Abraham Lincoln that we will celebrate Thanksgiving because God provided. And God continued to provide and he continues to provide to this very day. It's a day of thanks to God, followed American men and women across manifest destiny, the taming of the West, multiple world wars, depressions, unparalleled, booming prosperity. God has truly provided to this nation. There were prayers to God as American men stepped foot on the moon and planted our flag on a celestial body millions of miles away from here.

America remains a nation with a deep connection to God. 90% of our country believes in a God or a higher spiritual power. It's really good for the developed world. This makes our country a good place to live, full of warm-hearted people. You certainly know that if you're enjoying Thanksgiving with warm-hearted people in your own family, probably surrounded by incredible bounty. In spite of what Joe Biden has done to this economy, God is good. We know that the government is not God.

In spite of what Joe Biden wants you to think, God is God. That truly makes America special. It makes Americans love and care for one another more than any other nation on earth. America is the most generous nation in the world. We clothe people who live thousands of miles away from us. We feed people that we'll never meet. We heal those who don't look like us or even agree with us. They may even hate us, and we don't care.

We love thy neighbor. God commanded us to do this. America is a good neighbor. Our exports have bettered the lives of every person on the planet. Electricity, oil, the automobile, the invention of flight, space travel, the internet. America brought the world out of the Stone Age, truly. Pax Americana has summoned forth the sharpest decline in extreme poverty the world has ever seen. The population of planet Earth was lifted truly out of crippling hunger and rampant poverty in a single generation as Western Judeo-Christian ideals remade the world with America at the center. Americans care for each other. If you get a flat tire, need a home-cooked meal, there's no other place on the planet

you'd rather be. We're happy people, some of the happiest in the world, according to recent data. That's because we live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Americans are proud. In spite of everything that has been thrown at us, over 70% of Americans remain proud or extremely proud to be Americans. Americans are happy, generous, warm people. And we made the world a better place. And we intend to leave it that way because God provided.

And that is why we give thanks. There's always a reason to have some type of doom hanging over us, whether that be Nazi Germany, the Axis powers, whether that be civil war, whether that be some foreign power oppressing us, or whether that's simply the oppression of the elements, going back to the original Thanksgiving. There's always some reason to have doom. americans millions and millions and millions of americans had it far worse than you do today and experienced horrors that you could not possibly imagine and so let's set our

head straight and let's be thankful this thanks. There are so many Americans that went through harsher, worse, deadlier Thanksgivings than we have now, and God provided for them. And I have every faith that God will provide for us. We simply need to keep believing. And so this Thanksgiving, continue to believe and continue to give thanks. It's something that set us and this nation apart from the entire rest of the world,

is that we do not lose our faith. God bless you. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones. And continue to give thanks to God for this, the greatest country on earth.
