From the April 18, 2020, Facebook livestream of the American Conservative Movement's "Saving America Conference"

JEFF DORNIK (AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT CO-FOUNDER): So, without further adieu I wanted to bring to you guys our very first speaker. He’s the editor-in-chief over at NOQ Report, but he is also the co-founder here of the American Conservative Movement. He and I have been talking quite extensively over the last few weeks as we put this together. He’s become a true friend. You know, I can’t speak more highly of JD [Rucker] and you know, the work ethic that he’s got, but also the other thing is like we’ve got myself, JD, Ken Peters, and Sam Jones are all the co-founders of the American Conservative Movement, and in all reality, JD’s the brains of the whole thing.

JD RUCKER (AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT CO-FOUNDER): That’s the only thing I’m going to comply to. I’m a Christian. So I’ll comply to the Bible willingly, lovingly and I will comply to the Constitution. And that’s it, pretty much. I mean you can break it down to those two things. We need to get back to work as a nation. And if we don’t stand up today and push back against what our quote-unquote “leaders” are doing, then all will be lost. And I’m not trying to be dramatic here. They really will be lost.

So what is it the American Conservative Movement wants to do? What is our goal? You know, are we just another ra-ra, put out memes on social media? No. We have plans to do quite a [UNINTELLIGIBLE] and this is the start. The Saving America Conference has the intended goal of getting the word out about who we are, bringing like-minded patriots together, and coming up with a plan. We don’t have the full plan yet. We have ideas. We’ve been talking to a lot of people. We’re seeing things that are happening out there. I’m here in Southern California and I saw yesterday in Huntington Beach where people were gathering together and carrying signs and rallying and protesting against these draconian measures coming from the state government, coming from Gov. Gavin Newsom. That’s what we want to do. We want to participate in that. We want to participate in -- what was it? Operation Gridlock in Lansing, Michigan. We want to help the pre-existing conservative movements out there, these groups of patriots who are fighting back. We want to help to organize, to instigate, to push for the type of actions that we are just not seeing from a whole bunch of other conservative groups out there. There’s great ones. I don’t want to sit here and complain about oh, you know, these guys aren’t doing this or these guys aren’t doing that. But you know, the ones that are doing a great job, such as, like I said, the ones here locally in California, the ones in Pennsylvania. They’re planning something in Texas. There is a big planned rally coming up, of course, in Lansing, Michigan. Those groups are being effective and they’re doing something.
