I pledge to you
That the current wave of violence...
1:17:04
...will not be the wave
of the future.
1:17:09
Let us begin by committing ourselves...
1:17:12
...to the truth...to find the truth,
to speak the truth...
1:17:15
...and to live the truth.
1:17:17
A new voice is being heard
across America today.
1:17:20
It is not the voice
of the protesters or the shouters.
1:17:23
It is the quiet voice of the majority
of Americans who've been forgotten...
1:17:26
...the non-shouters,
the, uh, non-demonstrators.
1:17:31
They're the good people. They work hard
and they save and they pay their taxes.
1:17:35
Now, who are they?
Let me tell you who they are.
1:17:38
They're in this audience
by the thousands.
1:17:40
They're the white Americans
and black Americans...
1:17:42
Mexican and Italian Americans.
1:17:45
They're the great
silent majority...
1:17:47
...and they have
become angry, finally.
1:17:49
Angry, not with hate,
But angry, my friends...
1:17:51
...because they love America...
1:17:53
...and they don't like what's happened
to America these last four years.
1:17:56
Let us understand.
1:17:58
North Vietnam cannot defeat
or humiliate the United States.
1:18:02
Only Americans
can do that!
1:18:07
I say to you tonight...
1:18:09
I say to you tonight we must have
a new feeling of responsibility...
1:18:14
...of self-discipline.
1:18:15
We must look to renew
state and local government.
1:18:17
We must have a complete reform of a big,
bloated federal government.
1:18:21
Those of us in public service know...
1:18:24
...we can have full prosperity
in peacetime.
1:18:27
Yes, we can cut
the defence budget.
1:18:29
We can reduce, uh,
conventional forces in Europe.
1:18:32
We can restore
the natural environment.
1:18:34
We can improve health care and make it
more available to all people.
1:18:38
And yes, we can have
a complete reform of this government.
1:18:41
We can have a new
American revolution!
1:18:57
The whole world is watching!
