Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Chris Miller.
My name is Chris Miller. I am not the former Department of Defense guy.
I'm from West Virginia.
When I was ten and a half years old, I told my dad I wanted a pair of Air Jordan tennis shoes.
When he found out they cost $125, he told me to get a job.
He told me the truth.
You want it? You gotta work for it.
And I have been working ever since.
That's the way it is in Appalachia.
I'm from West Virginia and we have always had to do more with less.
That principle is interwoven in everything that we do.
Now, I'm 43 years old.
I'm an entrepreneur.
I'm a father.
I'm a leader in my business and community.
I'm a boxer.
And I'm a bison father.
And I'm here to tell you the truth.
We've lost our damn minds.
If you consume what the news feeds you, you will wind up nutritionally, financially, and morally bankrupt.
And it's as if it's all designed to make us weaker as men and as women.
Pleasure is not purpose.
Fame is not meaning.
Hookups are not relationships.
Scrolling all day is not living.
Instagram is not real life.
Victimhood is not strength.
Planned Parenthood is not healthcare.
Printing money is not an economic recovery.
The mainstream news media is not always the truth.
The good thing is there is hope.
There is hope right now by a new generation of people tired of this woke mindset.
We are free thinkers.
We are entrepreneurs.
We like to build things.
We like to accomplish much.
And we want a government that doesn't create barriers to justify bureaucrats' existence.
But rather one that provides a tangible product to taxpayers and makes their lives better and treats their citizens like their customers.
Imagine that.
We are coming and we are pissed off.
But first, I need to report a theft.
The left took something of us.
They took our words.
And they changed the meaning.
But I'm here to take those words back.
Diversity.
We are the party of diversity.
The diversity of thought emanated by a free people.
Equality.
We are the party of equality.
The equality of opportunity open to all people based solely on merit and character and nothing else.
Inclusion.
We are the party of inclusion because it is us who believe that inclusivity is sewn in the fabric of God's heart because all of us have value and purpose in his creation.
The greatest men of history chose to build cathedrals that they would never see completed in their lifetime.
They didn't seek to build these things because they wanted their names imprinted on bridges and courthouses.
We must be bigger than them.
They chose to build for the sake of future generations.
This is what is needed for decent civilizations to thrive.
Who among us now will embark on the labor of decades of necessity if not us?
So it behooves everyone in this room to talk to as many of their friends and family as possible and tell them to go out and vote.
Tell everyone.
Because if we don't, this nonsense will continue in America and the fall.
Roe fell after all because they weren't paying attention.
Now, unlike many on the left, I don't claim to have all the answers.
I get reminded by my wife each day to remain humble.
I look to my Christian faith for guidance in understanding the underlying moral principles embedded in our existence and their function.
The light posts that guide our way.
However, the other side, the left, they've done away with all limiting principles.
No clear right or wrong.
No better or worse.
No objective morality.
No clear male, no clear female.
A vacuous philosophy that has led to America's current condition that can only be described as a pathological self-indulgence with no responsibility.
America has got to start paying attention.
Destiny right now is knocking on our door to rectify this trend.
There is still time if we all do what we must.
We must speak the truth.
We must not be censored.
Free speech is the very mechanism of which our democracy functions.
Thank you all for having me.
My name is Chris Miller.
I'm from West Virginia.
And I'm here to speak the truth.
