What is the name of the song and artist of the song described below?

It was played on the radio during the Iran hostage situation. The person is talking to the president of the United States saying something about no longer being able to turn the other cheek. He mentions a sleeping giant. In the background you can hear another song in which they sing "His truth is marching on..." I'm not sure if the man in the song is referring to President Jimmy Carter or President Ronald Reagan. The person in the song sounds patriotic and his voice cracks, as if he is very emotional in his plea to the president to take action.
