Jonathan “Lomez” Keeperman stepped to the AmFest stage and delivered the kind of wake-up call every patriot should hear — blunt, unapologetic, and drenched in the urgency our country actually faces. He warned we are in a “survival situation,” a phrase that should jolt every conservative out of complacency and into action; his full remarks were later published on the Rufo & Lomez channels for anyone who still needs convincing.
Keeperman’s speech carried extra weight because it was personal; he spoke about meeting Charlie Kirk after founding his publishing company and how that relationship shaped his commitment to ideas and to the movement. He admitted he didn’t get the chance to thank Kirk in person at AmFest, but the gratitude and respect were plain as day — a reminder that movements are built on real loyalties, not empty slogans.
AmFest 2025 was no ordinary conference; it was a mass moment for the right, drawing record crowds and a who’s who of conservative voices as Turning Point USA navigates the post-Kirk era. The scale and symbolism of the event — with tens of thousands attending and leaders rallying in Kirk’s stead — underline that this fight is national and generational, not a niche internet skirmish.
Yet the gathering also laid bare a painful truth: factionalism eats the movement from within. High-profile feuds and onstage barbs between conservative figures showed that energy is too often wasted on internecine squabbles instead of being pointed squarely at the left’s cultural and political offensive. Keeperman’s message was clear — survival means discipline, loyalty, and the willingness to subordinate ego to cause.
That is why his insistence on obligations — to yourself, your allies, and your country — should be treated as a strategic doctrine, not mere rhetoric. Conservatives cannot rely on passivity or polite debate to reclaim our institutions; we must organize, defend our spaces, and cultivate the next generation of leaders who understand sacrifice beats performative outrage every time. No half-measures, no moral relativism — just frankly conservative muscle.
If AmFest confirmed anything, it’s that movements survive through backbone and clarity of purpose. The left has its networks, its media ecosystems, and its cultural institutions; we have to match them with our own institutions and, crucially, with the unflinching courage Keeperman displayed on that stage. This is the work of preservation — of faith, family, and the republic itself — and it requires more than speeches, it requires sustained action.
For anyone who still doubts the stakes, listen to Keeperman and then get to work: back conservative candidates who mean it, support organizations on the front lines, and teach the next generation the truths the mainstream schools won’t. AmFest showed the movement remains alive, but alive is not the same as victorious; victory demands discipline, unity, and the willingness to fight like our future depends on it — because it does.
