the United States of America will once again take on the task of renewal and restoration.

And while we are prepared, if necessary, to do this alone, it is our preference and it is our hope to do this together with you.

We are part of one civilization,

Western civilization.

We are bound to one another by the deepest bonds that nations could share, forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry.

And so this is why we Americans may sometimes come off as a little direct and urgent in our council.

This is why President Trump demands seriousness and reciprocity from our friends here in Europe.

The reason why, my friends, is because we care deeply.

We care deeply about your future and ours.

We in America have no interest in being polite and orderly caretakers of the West's managed decline.

100%.

Certain types of Anglo-derived culture that comes from our history.

Like what?

Let me think about this.

You know, Senator, I would say if you were to look at the book by one of your former Senate colleagues, Born Fighting, about the sort of Scotch-Irish military culture and certain pride that went with that, that would be one example.

Obviously, you could have sub-elements of that culture.

You could have Italians.

You could have Irish.

And those are in many ways more distinct.

I would say that the white church is very different than the black church in terms of its tone and style on average.
