FDR made the world safe for communism and infested our government with commies. And we’re still paying the price today.

The ending words to Roosvelt’s speech was “so help us God!”

Modern versions of the speech, at least in the movies, leave that part out, or at least the word “God.”

Very impressive speech, only four minutes long. Full of righteous anger and resolve.
