said, "National conservatism is an idea whose time has arrived".

In his speech, he criticized the belief that the United States is defined by a shared set of values and principles. Instead, he argued that it is a nation built by settlers as a homeland for themselves and their descendants.

Schmitt said, "we Americans are sons and daughters of the Christian Pilgrims that poured out from Europe's shores to baptize a new world in their ancient faith" and "America belongs to us, and only us".
