The speaker delivers a transatlantic address from Texas, greeting Americans and recalling Poland’s understanding of freedom’s cost. He notes that this year America will celebrate 250 years of independence, recounting the founding fathers’ choice for liberty, responsibility, and sovereignty, which changed the world. He emphasizes that Poles stood shoulder to shoulder with America in that fight, highlighting Tadeusz Kosciuszko and Kazimierz Spowalski as Polish patriots who fought for American independence, and Chaim Solomon, born in Poland and living in New York, who helped finance the American Revolution with his own resources when the Continental Congress ran low on funds. He states that Polish heroes did not only fight for America but helped build it, grounded in the belief that freedom anywhere is worth defending everywhere. He asserts that Poland and the United States are two nations built on the same idea: the government should serve the people, freedom must be protected, tradition matters, and liberty is shaped by founding values in America and Poland’s medieval republic roots. He frames their shared Christian civilization as under pressure from both external threats and internal cultural shifts, warning that a nation without identity is a nation without a future, and stressing that freedom requires strong families and communities and people willing to defend it.
The speaker outlines real, not only cultural, threats: geopolitical dangers from Russia, which invades neighbors, destroys cities, and claims to defend traditional values—a claim he calls a lie, arguing true conservatism respects nations, human dignity, and freedom under law. He notes other authoritarian powers seeking to reshape the world around control. He emphasizes the need to stand together rather than be divided, recalling Poland’s steadfast support for the United States in past conflicts, including Afghanistan and Iraq, and praising the courage and sacrifice of the 66 police soldiers who died in those conflicts. He recounts a White House event where President Donald J. Trump posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor to Staff Sergeant Michael Ollis for saving a Polish officer, and how Poland honored Ollis the same day, underscoring a bond of brotherhood.
The speaker discusses Europe’s challenges from within, acknowledging Poland’s decision to join the EU but urging urgent reform to address energy policies, migration policies, centralization, and ideological projects that he says weaken rather than strengthen Europe. He argues Europe and America are strongest when they respect nations, traditions, and the will of their people. Poland is presented as a success story: emerging from communism to prosperity within one generation, with a GDP surpassing one trillion dollars, and a strong alliance with the United States, including substantial defense investment (5% of GDP) and American-made technology like F-35 aircraft produced in Texas. Poland hosts thousands of American troops and insists on real, not symbolic, alliance, with border sharing and energy diversification through the Three Seas Initiative, connecting the Baltic to the Adriatic and the Black Sea, promoting infrastructure, energy security, and economic strength for 120 million people in Central and Southeastern Europe. The speaker recalls Ronald Reagan’s support for freedom and emphasizes that the Polish-American alliance, NATO, and shared security are essential. He concludes that when Poland and America stand together, freedom wins, and calls for continued sovereignty, tradition, and freedom for future generations, ending with blessings for Poland, the United States, and their alliance.
