America is a choice land!

"I testify that America is a choice land. (See 2 Ne. 1:5.) God raised up the founding fathers of the United States of America and established the inspired Constitution. (See D&C 101:77–80.) This was the required prologue for the restoration of the gospel. (See 3 Ne. 21:4.) America will be a blessed land unto the righteous forever and is the base from which God will continue to direct the worldwide latter-day operations of His kingdom. (See 2 Ne. 1:7.)"

Ezra Taft Benson, I Testify, Semiannual General Conference for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, October 1988

This was near the end of Ezra Taft Benson's life and he was clearly quite feeble. This was the last talk he gave in person in general conference. The awkward jumps in the video are editing out of lengthy silence as he turned the pages of his talk. It must have been printed in a very large font because he turned the pages a lot.
