Emerald Masso, you may know the history 77 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 2: better than I do. I think I think Roosevelt actually 78 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 2: reviewed the White The White Fleet went around the world, 79 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 2: and he went around the world because he wanted to 80 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 2: show the global power of the United States Navy. I 81 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: believe I believe that Roosevelt reviewed the White Fleet at Narfolk. 82 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 2: Am I do you remember that? Or am I wrong there? 83 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 5: I do? 84 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 10: That's absolutely correct. And you know, he he wanted to 85 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 10: establish an assert power projection and uh, and he invoked 86 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 10: his own personal powers uh and and sent them out, 87 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 10: you know, to the far East. And then he had 88 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 10: to get an Act of Congress to get get you know, 89 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 10: to pay for the fuel to get him back. 90 00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 5: But yes, he did. 91 00:10:59,559 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 11: Uh. 92 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 10: He did do a pass and review in Norfolk. And 93 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 10: that was a substantial example of Mahan's influence of seapower 94 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 10: on world history. 95 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 5: In action. 96 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 2: Talk to me about that. Talk to me about how 97 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 2: particularly as naval officers. You're ingrained in Alfred Thayer Mahan. 98 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 2: His the book The Impact of Seapower Punt History is 99 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 2: really the basics of naval doctrine for both the Royal 100 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 2: Navy and the United States Navy. 101 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 12: Sir. 102 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 10: What he did was he instantiated the fact that you know, 103 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 10: ninety six percent of the world's population live on coastlines. 104 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 10: That he instantiated the fact that we require sea lines 105 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 10: of communication for the exchange of commerce, and that those 106 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 10: sea lions needed to be protected. And the only nation 107 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 10: that substantial enough to do that was the United States. 108 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 10: And this was a book that really influenced President Roosevelt Theodore, 109 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 10: the twenty sixth president, where he took it almost as 110 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 10: a biblical mission, statement that this was something that he 111 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 10: had to in fact create, and from that spawned things 112 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 10: like the Great White Fleet, but also the investment of 113 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 10: navy and really naval aviation. 114 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: All of that. 115 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 10: There's a great book written by a historian named doctor 116 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 10: Dave Winkler on the very first aircraft carrier, which just 117 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 10: celebrated its hundredth birthday a few years ago.

Captain fanel Sonny brought it up 147 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 2: talking about Alfred Thayer Mahan. Why is a young naval 148 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 2: officer when you either go to the Naval War College, 149 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 2: or more likely you take the correspondence courses, why is 150 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 2: it the first war you learn about? It's not the 151 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 2: Revolutionary War, but they take you back to the Peloponnesian War. 152 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 2: Why is the Peloponnesian War against Athens and Sparta such 153 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 2: an important tool for learning about geopolitics? 154 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 12: Sir? Because it was the first great naval conflict in 155 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 12: our kind of recorded history that talked about how one 156 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 12: nation could defeat another nation through naval power. And so 157 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 12: the study of that and understanding of that, and how 158 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 12: that influenced the development of the Greek city states and 159 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 12: how they were able to a smaller force to feed 160 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 12: a larger force, if you will, through power projection is 161 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 12: something that Mahan, you know, studied and and then wrote 162 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 12: about and took that history to us. It made us 163 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 12: understand the value and power of sea power. That was 164 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 12: something that probably people knew before then, but it was 165 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 12: really recorded and taught in in the universities in the 166 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 12: Middle Ages and beyond in the in the in the 167 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 12: Enlightenment that people got to learn about that and understand 168 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 12: what happened in the Peloponnesian Wars, and then you know 169 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 12: then the Romans with their their fleets. So the issue 170 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 12: of the ability to move goods and services via the 171 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 12: sea was also wrapped up in this idea that you 172 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 12: had to have vessels that could fight and win and 173 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 12: defend those commercial vessels. And I think that's really the 174 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 12: long arc of history in terms of naval power. And 175 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 12: Mahon was our teacher for that and still is today. 176 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 12: And as you had previous guests on talked about this 177 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 12: idea that we had to have this ability to project 178 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 12: our fleets around the world, and it wasn't just sending 179 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 12: ships like the Great White Fleet as we just talked about, 180 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 12: went out with sixteen battleships some fourteen thousand officers and 181 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 12: sailors for this long journey. What we learned was is 182 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 12: that we needed to have a system of bases and 183 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 12: refueling and capability to underway replenishment and all of that. 184 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 12: And back then it was coal. Today it's you know, 185 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 12: it's it's diesel fuel and other fuels. But the point 186 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 12: is is that we had this ability to understand that 187 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 12: the power of naval platforms isn't just to carry our goods, 188 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 12: but it's also they are required to be protected as 189 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 12: they're carrying them. 190 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: We're seeing, uh, Paul Morgan, what are we seeing right now? 191 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 2: Is that the osprey coming aboard the Truman. 192 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 13: Yeah, that's that's really interesting. That's a HMX one osprey 193 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 13: because it's a green top. 194 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 2: Wow. 195 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 13: Yeah, that's an ospre. 196 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 9: That's beautiful. 197 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 5: Is President on that? 198 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 2: I don't know? That's sunny masso, that's the question. I've 199 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: Morgan was gone by a surprise. They put the President 200 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 2: of the States on that a quite controversial aircraft, I 201 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 2: might add correct. 202 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 10: Although a commandant of the Marine Corps, Mike Hagyes. To 203 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 10: show how safe it was, he had his entire family, 204 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 10: his wife and kids, you know, go on a couple 205 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 10: of flights. 206 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 2: By the way, for all our Marine brethren and somebody 207 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 2: we know and love the the uh, We're gonna do 208 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 2: the two and fifteenth anniversary of the birthday of the 209 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 2: Marine Corps. Also, that's gonna be a very very special event. 210 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 2: We're gonna give him their entire own day since Amal 211 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:10,479 Speaker 2: Masso you know better, the Marines Bridle as we call him, 212 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 2: the junior Naval Service. So it's it's a very special, 213 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 2: very special breedo man, very special breedo man or woman. No, 214 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 2: the ouspring. I don't think we're gonna see the Commander 215 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 2: chief get out of there. Go ahead, sir, No, I 216 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 2: don't think so. 217 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 10: But as you know, I grew up at the North 218 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,959 Speaker 10: gate of Camp Pendleton in San Clemente, California, and I 219 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 10: have immense respect for the Marine Corps, as I know 220 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 10: you do as well. 221 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, tremendous Cleo. Let me ask you, why is it 222 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 2: Henry Kissinger's sidekick Graham Allison? They are Kissinger and Graham. 223 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 2: Allison always compared China in the United States to Athens 224 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 2: and Sparta. You know Allison Gray's book Destined for War, 225 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 2: He talks about the twelve or fourteen times a rising 226 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 2: power and declining power have squared off. I think in 227 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 2: those fourteen times, ten of them have been kind of, 228 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 2: you know, almost global conflicts. Why do people keep harkening 229 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 2: back to the Peloponnesian War all the time? 230 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 14: Man, Well, the Peloponnesian War is Captain Fanel said, is 231 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 14: quite important. But the Thucydides trap stuff, I put it 232 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 14: in the makinder bucket of something that needs to be 233 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 14: thought of properly. And again I don't really buy it 234 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 14: because India is in the same position, and India isn't 235 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 14: about to try to attack the United States in the 236 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 14: same way that the Chinese Communist Party is. And then 237 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 14: if you look at those terms Chinese Communist Party, there's 238 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 14: a word in there communist that isn't in the Indian 239 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 14: Republic's name. So I think it's not necessary that our 240 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 14: rising country is going to attack another one. I think, 241 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 14: you know, this is something innate within the system that 242 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 14: has been governing the land of China. Does it look 243 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 14: like they put the journalists on the osprey? Is that 244 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 14: what we did? 245 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 8: No? 246 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 5: I just I was just I was just telling. 247 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: I was just telling the not that we're not we're 248 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 2: not smacked talking the osprey. I just want to make sure. 249 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 2: But my producer just said, Hey, is that the media 250 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 2: that's coming out of the osprey? 251 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it is. 252 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: Cleo. Thanks for putting that out though, clear Cleo, Uh 253 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 2: talk tell the audience what the facility's trap is. Why 254 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 2: is it? It's such an important concept, at least for 255 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 2: uh the Munich uh, the Munich Defense Conference, ma'am. 256 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 14: Because it it sort of justifies, uh, this thing that 257 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 14: you know, anybody tries to to challenge us. It's a 258 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 14: it's a kind of destiny thing, and it's not nothing 259 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 14: to do with the actual systems themselves, and so you 260 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,919 Speaker 14: don't have to look at China as a as a 261 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 14: system or as a as a regime, the nature of 262 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 14: the regime. You can just say, oh, well, you know, 263 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 14: it's history and there just happened to be this rising power. 264 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 14: It's it's similar to this kind of reverse opium thing 265 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 14: that I also don't like. It's very effective narrative warfare 266 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 14: on the Chinese side because it pulls you away from 267 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 14: thinking about the actual dynamics. But you know, in terms 268 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 14: of the fentanyl being revenge for the opium War. First 269 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 14: of all, the US wasn't involved in the Opium War. 270 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 14: Second of all, the Opium War was wrong. And so 271 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 14: it's sort of like saying we have slavery and shinjang 272 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 14: because you had slavery in the US at some point too. 273 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 14: Wrongs definitely do not make it right, you know. And 274 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 14: the third it just it gives this narrative warfare weapon 275 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 14: to give them a pass and at the same time hit. 276 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 2: Do you think do you think the CCP Do you 277 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,959 Speaker 2: think the CCP really makes a difference between Great Britain 278 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 2: at t ivespower in the United States? Don't they just 279 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 2: consider us foreign devils? 280 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 14: I think they use different aspects of unrestricted warfare depending 281 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 14: on what works. So, for example, in the case of 282 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 14: you don't see the sort of fentanyl flood that in 283 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 14: the UK that you do here in the US. But 284 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 14: what you do see is as a buying up of elites, 285 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 14: including the think tank community, that's giving rise to a 286 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 14: situation where, for example, the Diego Garcia military base is 287 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 14: coming under risk. And I think the weak point there 288 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 14: isn't Mauritius, it's the UK, and it's because of the 289 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 14: way that they've tried to undermine the UK. So I 290 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 14: think they've got, you know, this toolkit as described and 291 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 14: i'm the twenty you know twenty four warfare as an 292 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 14: unrestricted warfare, plus many other that they've invented since then, 293 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 14: and they will use as they like. But one of 294 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 14: the key, the top three of those warfares is this 295 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 14: sort of psychological warfare. And they'll also got media warfare, 296 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 14: and that that is these things like the Thucydides trap 297 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 14: or you know, the fentanyl is the opium war things 298 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 14: like that that put you on the back foot and 299 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 14: make it so that you're not looking at China as 300 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 14: its own thing, but you get caught up in these 301 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 14: other intellectual eddies that can paralyze you or whip you 302 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 14: in circles, or give justification to not just say, hold 303 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 14: on a second, this is absolutely wrong and it has 304 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 14: to be stopped. 305 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 2: By the way, look at that magnificent shot right there, 306 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 2: right next to the Truman The President and I states 307 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 2: Commander in Chief will be there momentarily tay what we're 308 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 2: gonna try to fit in one more commercial break. The 309 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 2: President and I States, I think will be arriving momentarily 310 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 2: going to give remarks to a combination of sailors and 311 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 2: officers and family members and other interested personages. Incredible Day 312 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 2: Navy two fifty a commemoration and celebration of the two 313 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the greatest Navy in the 314 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 2: history of mankind. Short commercial break will return to Real 315 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 2: America's Voice coverage momentarily. 316 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,479 Speaker 1: We'll be right back with more Navy two point fifty 317 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: seapower and freedom. We want to thank our sponsor, Birch 318 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: Gold Group for standing with rav. 319 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 2: Let's go to Let's go listen to some music from 320 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 2: the Navy band. I believe the Commander in Chief has arrived, 321 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 2: not on the osprey. I might mention, I'm not digging, 322 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 2: I'm not dinging the osprey. But it was Cleo Pascal 323 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 2: that did mention that they put the media on it. 324 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 2: Let that be her quote. There is there's commander in 325 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 2: chief right there. We're coming in. 326 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 5: I mean it is. 327 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 2: Steve Good got to go to bertin group of sad 328 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 2: the Fleet out of Norfolk, Virginia, the Atlantic Fleet. Captain 329 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 2: Fanel and Ermerald Masso myself were Pacific Fleet sailors. The fleet, 330 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 2: the Seventh Fleet, the historic Seventh Fleet that won the 331 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 2: war in the Pacific, and really traditions of that fleet 332 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 2: are just amazing. The history of it, the customs and 333 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 2: traditions of it just absolutely extraordinary. Ermald Masso, your thoughts, Yeah, 334 00:26:45,200 --> 00:27:09,159 Speaker 2: we still, Erald Massa, I think we corrected your We 335 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 2: got your microphone work and any any thoughts on this 336 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 2: as you watch the Commander in Chief, I think has 337 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 2: arrived at the Truman about to address the Atlantic Fleet sailors. 338 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 10: Well, I think that these sailors are hungry for the 339 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 10: type of leadership that he's been providing. And I know 340 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 10: that there's an air of excitement and pride and and 341 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 10: we you know, they love the Navy and there's no 342 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 10: better way to celebrate a birthday than, you know, with 343 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,959 Speaker 10: the Commander in Chief sharing it with him. So I 344 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 10: know that they're they're probably hyper excited about this, and 345 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 10: I know that he will not disappoint. 346 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 2: Emal. We did have a just a demonstrable fact, we 347 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 2: did have an issue with recruiting right for a couple 348 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,479 Speaker 2: of years there it's kind of been sorted out. What 349 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 2: are your thoughts about. 350 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 10: That, Well, this is kind of a big deal and 351 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 10: it really reflects what the remarks of the Secretary of 352 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 10: War express last week to the generals and admirals and 353 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 10: and basically the recruiting was, you know, we didn't we 354 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 10: didn't have a substantial mission. You know, there was no 355 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 10: active war in Iraq or in Afghanistan, and so a 356 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 10: lot of people kind of lost interest in it. But 357 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 10: you know, more specifically, in the absence of recruiting, we 358 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 10: had to compromise some of the standards that were elucidated 359 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 10: by the Secretary of War as being unacceptable fat sailors, 360 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 10: you know, this type of thing. And it used to 361 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 10: be that if you failed to fitness tests, then you 362 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 10: were sent home. And and and what we changed that 363 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 10: to be is because we couldn't afford to lose some 364 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 10: of these sailors because there's nobody in the pipe line 365 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 10: replacing them. We we we didn't send them home, we 366 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 10: just wouldn't promote them. So so this this was a 367 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 10: big departure. And I think a lot of people will 368 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 10: clamor for this to be implemented immediately, if not sooner, 369 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 10: because it was compromising you know, combat readiness and and so. 370 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 10: And now recruiting is better. For the first time in 371 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 10: a number of years, we're able to make our numbers 372 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,239 Speaker 10: and not do it with fancy NASCAR programs and all 373 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 10: these kind of things. People are here serving for all 374 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 10: the reasons they always served, to learn a trade, to 375 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 10: serve their country, to make themselves better, to see the world. 376 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 10: And uh, and I think we're back in business with that. 377 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 10: That that way forward. 378 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 2: Okay, let's go, let's let's pull in on the Navy band. 379 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 15: Uh. 380 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 2: Here we come right here. I think it's Doug con Ones. 381 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 2: This is in the Navy band.

With your one Big, Beautiful Bill 406 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 17: and your Executive Order on Restoring America's Maritime dominance. You've 407 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 17: armed us with the authorities, resources, and urgency to modernize 408 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 17: the fleet, expand our shipyards, rebuild the skilled workforce, deepen 409 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 17: our magazines, and harden the infrastructure that wins wars at sea. 410 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 5: Two hundred and fifty. 411 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 17: Years ago, the Continental Congress made a bold bet. Who 412 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:13,280 Speaker 17: controls the seas controls the future. This was the birth 413 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 17: of our navy, a testament to our historic significance. The 414 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 17: Constitution states Congress law of the power to provide and 415 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 17: maintain a navy. The word maintained means the Navy is 416 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 17: intended to be a permanent, continuous institution of national defense 417 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 17: and warfare. The founders understood the importance of having a navy. 418 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 17: George Washington, in a letter to the Marquis de Lafayette, wrote, 419 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 17: as certain as Knight succeeds the day, without a decisive 420 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 17: naval force, we can do nothing definitive, and with it 421 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 17: everything honorable and glorious. Today, two hundred and fifty years later, 422 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 17: history has proven to be has proven that to be 423 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 17: a superpower, one must be a sea power. Mister President, 424 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 17: your mandate ensures that when the world looks to the seas, 425 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 17: it sees an American flag, and behind that flag stands 426 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 17: a team that is disciplined, lethal, and dominant. Today we 427 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 17: showed the world what American seapower means. Deadly precision, meticulous execution, 428 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 17: raw power, and the will to use it. Secretary Hecseth, 429 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 17: we are restoring the warrio ethos to this department of 430 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 17: the Navy, not by slogan, by by performance. The Truman 431 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 17: right here beside me sustained more than fifty days of 432 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 17: Tomahawk launches and precision airstrikes to degrade or Ran back 433 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,840 Speaker 17: to hooty capabilities and protect commercial shipping during Operation rough Rider. 434 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 17: There are many many missions that we are operating and 435 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 17: executing on very well, including choking off cartel cash flows. 436 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 17: Between Operation Atlantic and Pacific Watch, we've sieved over four 437 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 17: hundred We've seized over four hundred and fifty metric tons 438 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 17: of cocaine worth more than eleven billion dollars. These seizures 439 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 17: represent live saved. All these operations show us our fleet 440 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 17: is ready to answer the nation's call twenty four to seven. 441 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:06,720 Speaker 5: Three sixty five. 442 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 17: The remarkable success is a testament to the bold vision 443 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,479 Speaker 17: of President Trump, whose leadership is ignited a renewed sense 444 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 17: of patriotism, inserting more Americans to serve. I'm happy to 445 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 17: say the Navy broke its recruiting record four months early, 446 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 17: so help is on the way for the high operating 447 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:32,359 Speaker 17: tempo you've been living through.

I really want to 502 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 2: thank the United States Navy for giving us that footage 503 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 2: in real America's voice, all the work and to tell 504 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,439 Speaker 2: you about how great the rev and the war room 505 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 2: team are. I think we got to go ahead, or 506 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 2: got really the signal that this is actually going to happen. 507 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 2: Basically Thursday, when it was kind of locked in. I 508 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,280 Speaker 2: think the President was going to go down to Norfolk 509 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 2: speak before, but they changed the schedule round. The President 510 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 2: has wanted to do this as Admiral Masso and Cleo 511 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,440 Speaker 2: and Captain Fanev talked about the Great White Fleet, the 512 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:48,360 Speaker 2: review by President Roosevelt and really the rise of the 513 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 2: United States is a global power in the Spanish American 514 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 2: War and how that was. Decisions were made in the 515 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:58,320 Speaker 2: late nineteenth century about building a global navy, and Teddy 516 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 2: Roosevelt was famously as an I think under Secretary of 517 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 2: the Navy took a bunch. It took a lot, made 518 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 2: a lot of moves to make that happen the Navy 519 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,279 Speaker 2: as an institution, and he didn't ask permission. He just 520 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 2: went ahead and did it. Getting ready now, I think 521 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,359 Speaker 2: that's Monica, Ambassador Crowley getting ready for the President United 522 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 2: States to come. We're going to jump to that live 523 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,760 Speaker 2: here momentarily, still members of his party and others coming 524 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,439 Speaker 2: down making sure they gets see. I think a lot 525 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 2: of corors do we have Steve Gruber? No, Gruber. Of course, 526 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 2: getting a signal down there right now is very hard, 527 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 2: as you can imagine given all the communications going on. 528 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 2: You talk about institutions, One of the most impressive institutions 529 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 2: and mankind's history has been the Royal Navy. What the 530 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 2: Royal Navy did to really build and expand the British Empire. 531 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 2: And that's what's so incredibly impressive about the United States Navy. Come, 532 00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 2: Captain Morgan, you're still with us, Paul, You've had to 533 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 2: basically lead young men and motivate young men as a 534 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 2: helicopter pilot and doing are the things you had to 535 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,919 Speaker 2: do in your detachment, your squadron. Talk to me about 536 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 2: recruiting now today, young sailors, what is the pitch to 537 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,399 Speaker 2: a young sailor, a young seventeen eighteen year old kid 538 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 2: in thinking about coming into the United States Navy. 539 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 13: You know, that's a really interesting question. A lot of 540 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 13: my son's friends, my son at the v and I, 541 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 13: their naval officers, Marine Corps officers. A lot of them 542 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 13: left early and as soon as they could. 543 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 9: That's over. 544 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 13: They're now deciding to stay and their message. I'm sixty 545 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 13: eight years old. My message is going to fall on 546 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 13: deaf ears. But the young officers and the senior enlisted 547 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 13: I have a story to tell now that's very, very positive, 548 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,799 Speaker 13: and I think the impact of recruiting is going to 549 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 13: be great. I would like to address Admiral Masso's comments 550 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:03,360 Speaker 13: about air deats and how professional they were. He clearly 551 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,360 Speaker 13: never cruised with me, so I just wanted. 552 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:05,919 Speaker 9: To lay that out there. 553 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:07,359 Speaker 5: One last thing. 554 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 13: The president only flies on white top aircraft. So the 555 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,920 Speaker 13: osprey is green top. The sixty that you saw as 556 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 13: a white top, that's what they call the white tops. 557 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,240 Speaker 13: They're the presidential birds. 558 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 2: Explain that to people. Explain that for a second, about that, 559 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 2: about what that means. 560 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 5: Well, the white Tops. 561 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,360 Speaker 13: I did a tour as the chief pilot at the 562 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 13: Sikorski factory for three years, and we did all the 563 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,759 Speaker 13: maintenance on the Presidential Age threes. I wouldn't even look 564 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,759 Speaker 13: at them, Steve. I mean, they're just they're so nice 565 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,759 Speaker 13: and they're so pristine, but they are maintained to a 566 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 13: standard that's really unbelievable. And the HMX one guys, who 567 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,759 Speaker 13: are the Marine Corps pilots that fly them, they just 568 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 13: show up and take parts. Nobody even questions. It's a 569 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 13: beautiful thing. And so the white Tops are special airplanes. 570 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 13: I did my initial night vision goggle calls with HIMX 571 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:01,440 Speaker 13: one and it was in green board cists. So I 572 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 13: didn't mean to disparate to be twenty two. 573 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 5: I'm so sorry it was I didn't. 574 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:05,399 Speaker 9: Know that that went. 575 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 5: No, no, no, it was it. 576 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 2: Was Cleo that put in the kill shot on the media.

You know, President 591 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 21: Trump has made our mission clear, America first, and peace 592 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 21: through strength with common sense at every turn. At the 593 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 21: War Department, it is the War Department.

You are different sailors, seals, marines. You 603 00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:17,319 Speaker 21: were set apart for a distinct purpose. Your diversity is 604 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:21,520 Speaker 21: not your strength.

I 635 00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,920 Speaker 10: think that he wanted to speak from the heart on 636 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:33,359 Speaker 10: some things that he wanted to address versus standards, and 637 00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:37,960 Speaker 10: he wanted to return to a warrior ethos, And I think, yeah, 638 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 10: I think I think people paid attention. They got it. 639 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:45,680 Speaker 10: They are smart men and women, and they know how 640 00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 10: to proceed from here. So I think it was a 641 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:53,480 Speaker 10: solid message, well delivered, and it left no doubt into 642 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:57,479 Speaker 10: what his strategic intent is for the behavior of all 643 00:48:58,040 --> 00:48:59,240 Speaker 10: battlegroup staffs. 644 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:04,799 Speaker 2: You know, as we go forward, perfect hangover second, we're 645 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,520 Speaker 2: about to have the Commander in Chief and the first 646 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,400 Speaker 2: lady Navy band will strike up the Commander Chief's the 647 00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,920 Speaker 2: counters song, and then we'll go President Trump's going to 648 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 2: give remarks.

I think the very first Steve Gruber 654 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,799 Speaker 2: said it best today had that Steve Gruber felt like 655 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,680 Speaker 2: a twelve year old. He was so excited to see 656 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 2: this kind of operation, to see the pride of the sailors, 657 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,439 Speaker 2: to see the pride of the fleet, to see not 658 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,320 Speaker 2: just the weapons but the precision that the Navy training 659 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,680 Speaker 2: has where officers and analysta has just been absolutely incredible. 660 00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:53,879 Speaker 2: And I'm sure the President has that enthusiasm as with him. 661 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,479 Speaker 2: This is something he's wanted to do for a long 662 00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:01,240 Speaker 2: time and actually is doing it very close to where 663 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:05,879 Speaker 2: Teddy Roosevelt reviewed the Great White Fleet, which was really 664 00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:08,440 Speaker 2: America sending a signal to the world.

Just so you understand, 1155 01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:45,599 Speaker 25: we win. 1156 01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:46,880 Speaker 5: Now, we win. 1157 01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:54,360 Speaker 25: We don't want to be politically correct anymore. And history 1158 01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:57,240 Speaker 25: will never forget that it was the Seals who stormed 1159 01:21:57,240 --> 01:22:01,920 Speaker 25: the compound that Osama been and put a bullet in 1160 01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:05,479 Speaker 25: his head. Remember that, and please remember I wrote about 1161 01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:09,360 Speaker 25: Osama bin Laden exactly one year ago, one year before 1162 01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:12,599 Speaker 25: he blew up the World Trade Center, and I said, 1163 01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:16,400 Speaker 25: you gotta watch Osama bin Laden. And the fake news 1164 01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:18,719 Speaker 25: would never let me get away with that savement unless 1165 01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:21,000 Speaker 25: it is true. But I said one year before to 1166 01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:23,599 Speaker 25: Pete heck Saith, I said, one year before Wisby. 1167 01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:27,920 Speaker 5: In the book, I wrote, whatever the hell the title. 1168 01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,280 Speaker 25: I can't tell you, but I can tell you there's 1169 01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:32,519 Speaker 25: a page in there devoted to the fact that I 1170 01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:36,240 Speaker 25: saw somebody named Osama bin Laden and I didn't like it, 1171 01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:38,920 Speaker 25: and you gotta take care of him. They didn't do it. 1172 01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,080 Speaker 25: A year later he blew up the World Trade Center. 1173 01:22:41,160 --> 01:22:43,719 Speaker 25: So we've got to take a little credit because nobody 1174 01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:44,800 Speaker 25: else is going to give it to me. 1175 01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:45,880 Speaker 5: You know the old story. 1176 01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,680 Speaker 25: They don't give you credit, just take it yourself. And 1177 01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:52,839 Speaker 25: it was the US Navy that dumped his wretched corpse 1178 01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:56,040 Speaker 25: off the decks of the Carl Vincent to sink into 1179 01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:59,679 Speaker 25: the dark abyss. The Navy's central role in the defense 1180 01:22:59,720 --> 01:23:03,280 Speaker 25: of our liberty continues to this day. Just a few 1181 01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:07,160 Speaker 25: months ago, the Ohio class guided missile submarine played an 1182 01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:11,639 Speaker 25: indispensable part in one of the most spectacular military feats. 1183 01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:12,679 Speaker 5: The world has ever. 1184 01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:18,120 Speaker 25: Seen the obliteration of Irans nucleosytes in Operation Midnight Hammer. 1185 01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:19,160 Speaker 5: How did that work out? 1186 01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:19,679 Speaker 26: Pretty good? 1187 01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:19,920 Speaker 11: Right? 1188 01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:30,000 Speaker 25: And we shot thirty tomahawks, you know that leak on 1189 01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:31,679 Speaker 25: top of after the B two? 1190 01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:32,360 Speaker 5: How about that? 1191 01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:35,879 Speaker 25: The B two is what they did, those beautiful flying wings, 1192 01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:39,320 Speaker 25: what they did. They hit every single target they hit 1193 01:23:40,240 --> 01:23:43,200 Speaker 25: and just in case, we shot thirty tomahawks out of 1194 01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:46,439 Speaker 25: a submarine, every one of them hit two. So I 1195 01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:49,360 Speaker 25: would say Iran was not particularly thrilled they were going 1196 01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:52,160 Speaker 25: to have a nuclear weapon within a month and now 1197 01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:53,800 Speaker 25: they can sort the operation. 1198 01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:54,160 Speaker 5: All over again. 1199 01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:55,920 Speaker 25: But I hope they don't because we'll have to take 1200 01:23:55,920 --> 01:23:57,519 Speaker 25: care of that too. If they do, I let them 1201 01:23:57,560 --> 01:23:59,720 Speaker 25: know that you want to do that, it's fine. 1202 01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:01,600 Speaker 5: We're going to take care of that, and we're not 1203 01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:02,559 Speaker 5: going to wait so long. 1204 01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:05,120 Speaker 25: It should have been done long before I came along. 1205 01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:08,240 Speaker 25: You know that I had the pilots of the B 1206 01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:11,000 Speaker 25: twos in my office, the famous Oval office. 1207 01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:13,600 Speaker 5: I had them in the B twos. 1208 01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:16,719 Speaker 25: They came in to the White House and we talked 1209 01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:18,439 Speaker 25: about it, and they said, you know, sir, for twenty 1210 01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:23,560 Speaker 25: two years, our predecessors and us trained. 1211 01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:25,439 Speaker 5: For that hit for twenty two years. 1212 01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:28,840 Speaker 25: They were training to take out the nuclear potential of Iran, 1213 01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:31,639 Speaker 25: he said, But it was only when you came along 1214 01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:34,400 Speaker 25: that we did it, and they were so happy that 1215 01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:36,240 Speaker 25: they did it. But they've been training for that hit 1216 01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:39,439 Speaker 25: for twenty two years, but no president wanted to do it. 1217 01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:41,960 Speaker 25: They would have had a nuclear weapon within a month, 1218 01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:45,760 Speaker 25: probably within a month or shortly thereafter, and speaking to 1219 01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:48,920 Speaker 25: them would have been much more difficult. In recent weeks, 1220 01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:53,400 Speaker 25: the Navy has supported our mission to blow the cartel. 1221 01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:54,920 Speaker 5: Terrasts the hell out of the water. You see that, 1222 01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:04,200 Speaker 5: and you know there are no boats in the water anymore. 1223 01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:06,599 Speaker 5: We can't find any. We'll have a hard time finding them. 1224 01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:11,120 Speaker 5: But you know, it's a pretty tough thing we've been doing. 1225 01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:12,679 Speaker 5: But you have to think of it this way. 1226 01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:16,759 Speaker 25: Every one of those boats is responsible for the death 1227 01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:22,120 Speaker 25: of twenty five thousand American people and the destruction of families. 1228 01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:24,320 Speaker 25: So when you think of it that way, what we're 1229 01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:28,840 Speaker 25: doing is actually an act of kindness. But we did 1230 01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:32,040 Speaker 25: another one last night. Now we just can't find any. 1231 01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:34,639 Speaker 25: You know, it's the old story. We're so good at 1232 01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:36,519 Speaker 25: it that there are no boats. 1233 01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:37,960 Speaker 5: In fact, even fishing boats. 1234 01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:40,200 Speaker 25: Nobody wants to go into the water anymore, sorry to 1235 01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:44,200 Speaker 25: tell you that, but we stop. We're stopping drugs coming 1236 01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:46,760 Speaker 25: into America, if that's okay. We're stopping drugs at a 1237 01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:50,599 Speaker 25: level that nobody's ever seen before. Last year we lost 1238 01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:55,599 Speaker 25: I believe, three hundred thousand people. And that's not talking 1239 01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:57,280 Speaker 25: about the destruction to families. 1240 01:25:57,320 --> 01:25:59,040 Speaker 5: Every one of us knows families. 1241 01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:02,160 Speaker 25: That have been destroyed because the son, daughter, even mothers 1242 01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:05,120 Speaker 25: and fathers are destroyed by the fentatyl pouring in and 1243 01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:09,080 Speaker 25: drugs pouring in. Well, they're not coming in by sea anymore, 1244 01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:11,519 Speaker 25: so now we'll have to start looking about the land 1245 01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:14,200 Speaker 25: because they'll be forced to go by land. And let 1246 01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:15,800 Speaker 25: me tell you right now, that's not going to work 1247 01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:18,839 Speaker 25: out well for them either. And it was the Truman 1248 01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:23,400 Speaker 25: Carrier strike group that unleashed American fury on the Houti 1249 01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:33,040 Speaker 25: terrorists in the Red Sea. And as you know, they settled, 1250 01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:36,240 Speaker 25: but they settled because they made the Saint Mundus. 1251 01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:38,599 Speaker 5: We've never been hit like that ever before. 1252 01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:43,280 Speaker 25: And earlier this year conducted the single largest airstrike from 1253 01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,200 Speaker 25: an American carrier in history. 1254 01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:46,360 Speaker 5: That was the largest ever. 1255 01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:50,240 Speaker 25: I want to express my personal thanks to every single 1256 01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:54,240 Speaker 25: sailor who contributed to these phenomenal victories. 1257 01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:56,759 Speaker 5: We only know victory. We're only going to know victory. 1258 01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:00,760 Speaker 5: We don't want to know the other word. We want 1259 01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:01,320 Speaker 5: to know victory. 1260 01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:03,479 Speaker 25: We're gonna have great victories in the years to come, 1261 01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:06,960 Speaker 25: well at least for almost three and a half years. 1262 01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:09,280 Speaker 25: We're gonna have great victories. I want to thank a 1263 01:27:09,320 --> 01:27:11,880 Speaker 25: group of women from North Carolina. Look at these great 1264 01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:13,000 Speaker 25: will you stand up leave? 1265 01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:16,680 Speaker 5: These beautiful women have followed me. 1266 01:27:18,160 --> 01:27:21,800 Speaker 25: This is number one hundred and fifty one. 1267 01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:24,679 Speaker 5: You could call a rally. This is sort of a rally. 1268 01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:27,599 Speaker 5: Let's face it, this is a rally. This is a. 1269 01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:30,400 Speaker 25: Speech of love. We're all we all love our country. 1270 01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:34,200 Speaker 25: But that group is from North Carolina. They're up to 1271 01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:37,559 Speaker 25: about one hundred and fifty one visits, have a whole 1272 01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:40,479 Speaker 25: group of them. I never see their husbands. I don't 1273 01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:43,519 Speaker 25: know what's going on with their husbands. I assume do 1274 01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:46,360 Speaker 25: they still love you? The husband's yes, good. But I 1275 01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:48,240 Speaker 25: want to thank you one hundred and fifty one.

Right, we have policy. We don't want crime, 1282 01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:08,320 Speaker 25: We don't want men playing in women's sports, we don't 1283 01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:12,240 Speaker 25: want transgender for everybody. We don't want to have open 1284 01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:15,679 Speaker 25: borders where millions of people come into our country from jails, 1285 01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:21,080 Speaker 25: from prisons, from mental institutions and insane asylums, drug. 1286 01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:22,480 Speaker 5: Dealers, murderers. 1287 01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:27,439 Speaker 25: Eleven thousand, seven hundred and eighty eight murderers were allowed 1288 01:28:27,439 --> 01:28:28,639 Speaker 25: to come into our country. 1289 01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:30,200 Speaker 5: A lot a lot of them are gone. 1290 01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:33,280 Speaker 25: And by the way, Washington, DC is a safe place 1291 01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:35,919 Speaker 25: right now.

Think of that. 1301 01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:59,160 Speaker 25: Now we're in Memphis. We're doing the same thing in Memphis, and. 1302 01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:00,000 Speaker 5: We're going to Chicago. 1303 01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:02,439 Speaker 25: You know, we have a governor that thinks it's wonderful. 1304 01:29:02,479 --> 01:29:05,200 Speaker 25: When fifty people in a short period of time were 1305 01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:09,559 Speaker 25: murdered in Chicago, over two hundred people were hit, and 1306 01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:13,440 Speaker 25: so we send in the National Guard. 1307 01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:15,840 Speaker 5: You know what, we send in whatsever necessary. 1308 01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:18,719 Speaker 25: People don't care, they want to they don't want crime 1309 01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:21,639 Speaker 25: in their cities, and we're doing it, and we're doing 1310 01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:24,439 Speaker 25: it well.

It's a safe place now, Washington, DC, it's 1320 01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:53,520 Speaker 25: always going to be our nation's capital is always. 1321 01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:55,320 Speaker 5: Going to be safe. We're never going to let that 1322 01:29:55,439 --> 01:29:56,040 Speaker 5: happen again. 1323 01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:59,280 Speaker 25: What happened there one of the most beautiful places that 1324 01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:02,639 Speaker 25: were doing a big beautification program. It'll take me very little, 1325 01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:06,559 Speaker 25: very short, but we're doing a beautification program to go 1326 01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:09,040 Speaker 25: along with the security and safety. We're getting rid of 1327 01:30:09,080 --> 01:30:13,840 Speaker 25: the graffiti, the potholes, the broken medians between roads. We're 1328 01:30:13,880 --> 01:30:15,880 Speaker 25: doing a real job and you'd be proud of it. 1329 01:30:15,920 --> 01:30:17,200 Speaker 25: I think everybody here. 1330 01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:17,720 Speaker 5: Is proud of it. 1331 01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:21,360 Speaker 25: Frankly, it's our nation's capital and that has to be clean, beautiful, 1332 01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:25,760 Speaker 25: and safe. The US Navy always stands for America. As 1333 01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:28,400 Speaker 25: your commander in chief, I will always stand for you. 1334 01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:30,920 Speaker 25: I promise you that you know that. That's why you 1335 01:30:31,040 --> 01:30:34,360 Speaker 25: voted for me in numbers that nobody's ever seen before. 1336 01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:38,160 Speaker 25: And I want you to know that despite the current 1337 01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:42,800 Speaker 25: Democrat induced shutdown, we will get our service members every 1338 01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:43,479 Speaker 25: last penny. 1339 01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:48,120 Speaker 5: Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. You'll worry 1340 01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:53,719 Speaker 5: about Do not worry about it. It's all coming. 1341 01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:57,639 Speaker 25: It's coming, and even more because I'm supporting the across 1342 01:30:57,640 --> 01:31:00,519 Speaker 25: the board pay races for every sailor and service member 1343 01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:06,320 Speaker 25: of the United States. En course, but we have to 1344 01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:08,719 Speaker 25: take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder 1345 01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:10,840 Speaker 25: called the Democrats. They want to give all of our 1346 01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:13,920 Speaker 25: money to illegal aliens that pour into the country. And 1347 01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:15,640 Speaker 25: you know I have a bigger heart than they do. 1348 01:31:15,760 --> 01:31:17,680 Speaker 25: But the problem is When you do that, they come 1349 01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:20,000 Speaker 25: in by the minions. Everybody wants that, so they can't 1350 01:31:20,080 --> 01:31:23,840 Speaker 25: do it. But I've also pledged the largest ever investment 1351 01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:28,559 Speaker 25: in our military's history. We're spending over one trillion dollars. 1352 01:31:29,040 --> 01:31:32,360 Speaker 25: We've never had anything like that before, one trillion dollars 1353 01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:37,000 Speaker 25: on our military. And that includes along with your Secretary 1354 01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:39,080 Speaker 25: of the Navy and Pete Hegseth, we're going to be 1355 01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:42,080 Speaker 25: building lots of ships and doing a lot of things 1356 01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:46,559 Speaker 25: that you haven't seen happen for thirty five years. We'll 1357 01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:50,320 Speaker 25: soon revitalize our once great shipyards with hundreds of billions 1358 01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:53,320 Speaker 25: of dollars in new investments and people coming from all 1359 01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:56,520 Speaker 25: around the world, and they're going to build chips in America. 1360 01:31:56,680 --> 01:31:58,160 Speaker 5: We want to build in America. 1361 01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:01,679 Speaker 25: And as I told our General and admirals last Tuesday, 1362 01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:03,200 Speaker 25: we are getting woke as. 1363 01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:07,160 Speaker 5: The hell out of our military. It's gone. It's truly gone. 1364 01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:10,240 Speaker 5: I don't know that it was ever really here. I 1365 01:32:10,240 --> 01:32:12,120 Speaker 5: think some of the top people had it. I knew 1366 01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:12,720 Speaker 5: a few of them. 1367 01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:16,760 Speaker 25: They were really they were major losers, but they were 1368 01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:22,240 Speaker 25: losers unlike our great General, the Chairman of the Joint 1369 01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:25,759 Speaker 25: chiefs of Staff, who may be here. Dan Raisin Kane, 1370 01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:28,200 Speaker 25: you know Raisin kin. When I heard his name, I said, 1371 01:32:28,200 --> 01:32:31,080 Speaker 25: that's the guy I'm looking for. But he's been an 1372 01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:33,719 Speaker 25: amazing warrior, and you know, he was the one headed 1373 01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:38,320 Speaker 25: up the attack on Iran and everything he's touched has 1374 01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:39,080 Speaker 25: turned out great. 1375 01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:40,240 Speaker 5: He knocked out Isis. 1376 01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:42,439 Speaker 25: So I was told it would take four to five 1377 01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:45,280 Speaker 25: years to beat Isis when he came on board. 1378 01:32:45,560 --> 01:32:47,760 Speaker 5: He did it in four weeks. We knocked him out 1379 01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:52,240 Speaker 5: in four weeks. One of the Isis caliphate is Dan 1380 01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:56,599 Speaker 5: Kane here. He is you know why because he's working 1381 01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:00,519 Speaker 5: so one thing, we don't have to worry about him. 1382 01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:03,000 Speaker 25: But he is a fantastic man as the man I 1383 01:33:03,040 --> 01:33:05,040 Speaker 25: wanted right from the beginning, I said, if I ever 1384 01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:07,120 Speaker 25: do this again, and if I could get lucky enough 1385 01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:09,760 Speaker 25: to win, because we have a base like nobody in 1386 01:33:09,880 --> 01:33:11,960 Speaker 25: history has had, I said, I'm going to pick Raisin 1387 01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:14,320 Speaker 25: Caine as the chairman, and. 1388 01:33:14,320 --> 01:33:16,120 Speaker 5: That's what we did, and he's been incredible. 1389 01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:19,680 Speaker 25: We will not be politically correct when it comes to 1390 01:33:19,720 --> 01:33:23,480 Speaker 25: defending American freedom. That's why we have renamed the Department 1391 01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:26,320 Speaker 25: of Defense at Department of Wars, I said, And we 1392 01:33:26,400 --> 01:33:30,320 Speaker 25: have changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to 1393 01:33:30,439 --> 01:33:31,520 Speaker 25: the Gulf of America. 1394 01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:31,960 Speaker 22: That was it. 1395 01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:38,639 Speaker 5: That was an easy one, you know, for years, I've 1396 01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:41,160 Speaker 5: looked at it and I edited it up, and I figured, 1397 01:33:41,400 --> 01:33:43,400 Speaker 5: we have ninety two percent of the frontage. 1398 01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:45,559 Speaker 25: I say, how come we call it the Gulf of Mexico. 1399 01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:48,400 Speaker 25: I mean, I wouldn't say that Mexico is thrilled with me, 1400 01:33:48,479 --> 01:33:49,280 Speaker 25: But what are you going to do? 1401 01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:52,040 Speaker 5: It's the Gulf of America. And I love it now. 1402 01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:55,080 Speaker 25: I was watching the other night a report and they said, 1403 01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:58,920 Speaker 25: very routinely, in the Gulf of America. This is you know, 1404 01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:01,519 Speaker 25: just went on to talk about They didn't do it 1405 01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:04,519 Speaker 25: with a smirk or a smile. They in the Golf 1406 01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:07,960 Speaker 25: of America. It's called the Gulf of America now and 1407 01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:11,040 Speaker 25: nobody's playing games with it. We got sued by the 1408 01:34:11,120 --> 01:34:15,280 Speaker 25: Associated Press and they lost. In fact, the judge was 1409 01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:17,759 Speaker 25: so good he said, he's calling it the Gulf of America. 1410 01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:20,840 Speaker 25: He's got all the approvals. You have to do that too. 1411 01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:23,559 Speaker 5: To the very liberal Associated Press. They got thrown out 1412 01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:23,960 Speaker 5: of court. 1413 01:34:24,680 --> 01:34:27,000 Speaker 25: In fact, they're almost not allowed to cover me anymore 1414 01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:27,720 Speaker 25: because of that. 1415 01:34:27,840 --> 01:34:31,320 Speaker 5: It's a big hit. So I'm very proud of that. 1416 01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:34,960 Speaker 25: Under our leadership, the spirit of the American forces is 1417 01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:38,360 Speaker 25: soaring like it has never soared before. I think right 1418 01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:41,880 Speaker 25: now we have more spirit than we've ever had before. 1419 01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:44,960 Speaker 5: After years of recruiting. 1420 01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:48,679 Speaker 25: Shortages, we couldn't get guys or gals to become sellers. 1421 01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:52,599 Speaker 5: One year ago, they didn't want to be a seller. Oltho, 1422 01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:54,479 Speaker 5: I must say. Once I said we're gonna run a 1423 01:34:54,479 --> 01:34:55,920 Speaker 5: lot of people, it made it better. 1424 01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:58,120 Speaker 25: But let's go back two years, and it was even 1425 01:34:58,160 --> 01:35:02,439 Speaker 25: worse because there is no hope. We had this horrible, 1426 01:35:02,520 --> 01:35:06,200 Speaker 25: horrible president who had no clue what the hell was happening. 1427 01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:08,920 Speaker 5: The chances of him walking down. 1428 01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:14,640 Speaker 25: Those stairs successfully were not good. And I have to 1429 01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:19,400 Speaker 25: be careful because one day I'm gonna probably fall. Now 1430 01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:22,679 Speaker 25: the North Carolina whom said that will never happen to you. 1431 01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:26,000 Speaker 25: I always say walk down the steps nice and saw 1432 01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:28,840 Speaker 25: you ever know I do not. I don't have to 1433 01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:32,320 Speaker 25: bop down to says walk nice and slowly. But we 1434 01:35:33,080 --> 01:35:34,080 Speaker 25: have a waiting list. 1435 01:35:34,120 --> 01:35:34,639 Speaker 5: Think of this. 1436 01:35:34,920 --> 01:35:37,120 Speaker 25: We have a waiting list for people wanting to get 1437 01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:42,840 Speaker 25: into the United States Navy, the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Marines, 1438 01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:45,200 Speaker 25: Space Force. 1439 01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:48,320 Speaker 5: All we love Space Force. But think of it. 1440 01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:51,839 Speaker 25: We have a waiting list for every branch of government 1441 01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:55,760 Speaker 25: now and that includes police environment. They didn't want to 1442 01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:58,880 Speaker 25: Nobody wanted to be a policeman. Now they want to 1443 01:35:58,880 --> 01:36:00,759 Speaker 25: be a policeman. Now they want to be in the Navy. 1444 01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:03,400 Speaker 25: They want to be in the Air Force so badly, 1445 01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:05,479 Speaker 25: the Marines, the. 1446 01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:07,479 Speaker 5: Army, they want to be in all of it.

But one year ago our country was dead. 1452 01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:23,479 Speaker 25: We had a dead country. People say, sir, you shouldn't 1453 01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:25,720 Speaker 25: say that. It's two strets of with Tarle. We had 1454 01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:28,720 Speaker 25: a dead country, and today we have the hottest country. 1455 01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:31,519 Speaker 5: Anywhere in the world by far.

We thought it 1459 01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:47,280 Speaker 25: was a dead country. And now you have the hottest 1460 01:36:47,320 --> 01:36:48,599 Speaker 25: country anywhere in the world. 1461 01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:52,519 Speaker 5: He said that, I use this term, and I'm pleased 1462 01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:53,080 Speaker 5: to say that. 1463 01:36:53,120 --> 01:36:58,439 Speaker 25: Twenty twenty five was the Navy's single best recruiting year ever. 1464 01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:05,439 Speaker 5: Not bad so you went from those embarrassing headlines of 1465 01:37:05,479 --> 01:37:08,280 Speaker 5: a year ago. Think of it. Nobody wants to go 1466 01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:10,439 Speaker 5: into the navy. How does that make you feel? 1467 01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:11,639 Speaker 8: Now? 1468 01:37:11,640 --> 01:37:13,840 Speaker 5: You have a different problem.

But in the Navy, 1585 01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:57,679 Speaker 29: you cannot order anybody to cheer. You cannot order them 1586 01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:00,920 Speaker 29: to applaud.

You know, 1592 01:45:16,200 --> 01:45:20,560 Speaker 29: they're neither liberal or conservative.

To see that, it's just amazing. 1594 01:45:24,320 --> 01:45:27,040 Speaker 29: The President mentioned you know, the care sergeant. I commanded 1595 01:45:27,080 --> 01:45:30,679 Speaker 29: a similar ship, you know, one thousand sailors, two thousand Marines. 1596 01:45:30,760 --> 01:45:34,880 Speaker 29: And again, they are genuine Americans. And when they cheer, 1597 01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:38,679 Speaker 29: it's coming right from their heart. And so yeah, sign 1598 01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:39,240 Speaker 29: me back up. 1599 01:45:39,280 --> 01:45:39,599 Speaker 9: Steve. 1600 01:45:39,840 --> 01:45:43,599 Speaker 29: You know, in the promo to this broadcast, I saw 1601 01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:46,439 Speaker 29: a picture of you as Ensign Bannon. And first for 1602 01:45:46,479 --> 01:45:49,080 Speaker 29: our listeners, I want to tell you something. I met 1603 01:45:49,200 --> 01:45:53,479 Speaker 29: Lieutenant Bannon back in nineteen eighty six, eighty seven when 1604 01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:57,240 Speaker 29: he showed up at my squadron.

And the reason we joined was, and tell me, 1610 01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:18,000 Speaker 29: if I'm right with you, adventure, opportunity, and I used 1611 01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:23,360 Speaker 29: to phrase association with heroes. And that's exactly why sailors 1612 01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:27,000 Speaker 29: are joining today. They want adventure, they want opportunity, and 1613 01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:31,080 Speaker 29: they want to serve with like minded heroes. And service 1614 01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:33,760 Speaker 29: is the big term right there. So what a great date. 1615 01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:36,400 Speaker 29: Two hundred and fifteen years. I only spent thirty nine 1616 01:46:36,439 --> 01:46:38,040 Speaker 29: years in the navy. I wish I could have spent 1617 01:46:38,080 --> 01:46:38,800 Speaker 29: a couple more. 1618 01:46:40,720 --> 01:46:42,400 Speaker 2: I want to ask you about it. And by the way, 1619 01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:44,880 Speaker 2: I was born right outside an ocean view, right near 1620 01:46:44,920 --> 01:46:48,120 Speaker 2: the Norfolk Naval Station. Of course, family so many family 1621 01:46:48,200 --> 01:46:49,920 Speaker 2: associated with the navy. 1622 01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:50,599 Speaker 8: Uh. 1623 01:46:50,680 --> 01:46:53,719 Speaker 2: And it was reading those inspirational and hearing the stories, 1624 01:46:53,760 --> 01:46:56,960 Speaker 2: the inspirational stories of the Pacific Fleet that always I 1625 01:46:56,960 --> 01:46:58,960 Speaker 2: always wanted to be a naval officer and to go 1626 01:46:58,960 --> 01:47:00,439 Speaker 2: to the Pacific Fleet. And I was blessed to be 1627 01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:03,080 Speaker 2: able to do that. One technical question for you. You 1628 01:47:03,160 --> 01:47:06,559 Speaker 2: were President Trump's on the National Security Council, pretty senior 1629 01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:10,080 Speaker 2: position about alliances. You had been one of the senior 1630 01:47:10,439 --> 01:47:14,439 Speaker 2: officers at NATO outside of your service to the fleet 1631 01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:18,080 Speaker 2: as a pilot. What's the difference you've seen in the 1632 01:47:18,120 --> 01:47:20,000 Speaker 2: cut of the jib of the president and the second 1633 01:47:20,040 --> 01:47:20,960 Speaker 2: term than the first. 1634 01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:26,080 Speaker 29: Well, one he doesn't feel hampered, and two he's doing 1635 01:47:26,120 --> 01:47:29,400 Speaker 29: amazing things. You know, I served for two years at NATO, 1636 01:47:29,560 --> 01:47:31,920 Speaker 29: and you know, the common joke is NATO stands for 1637 01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:34,559 Speaker 29: not at the office or not after two o'clock, and 1638 01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:37,840 Speaker 29: they are you know, those staff. NATO is staff's, it's 1639 01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:40,439 Speaker 29: not four structure. And the fact that President Trump has 1640 01:47:40,479 --> 01:47:43,280 Speaker 29: made them, you know, pony up more of their GDP 1641 01:47:43,640 --> 01:47:48,920 Speaker 29: for infrastructure. That is a big deal because basically, any 1642 01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:52,479 Speaker 29: time anything came up in NATO, and we had all 1643 01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:56,400 Speaker 29: the senior officers represented. If ever there was a question 1644 01:47:56,439 --> 01:47:58,960 Speaker 29: about what to do, everybody bent over to tie their 1645 01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:01,000 Speaker 29: shoes and I would stay in there with loafers. They 1646 01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:04,240 Speaker 29: were all looking for the Americans to take charge, whether 1647 01:48:04,280 --> 01:48:08,160 Speaker 29: it be the fourth of July picnic or an operation 1648 01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:13,160 Speaker 29: at sea, and their forces. We had quick reaction forces, 1649 01:48:13,720 --> 01:48:18,080 Speaker 29: naval forces, and with an exercise once every year, and 1650 01:48:18,120 --> 01:48:20,320 Speaker 29: there were four quarters where you would sign up, and 1651 01:48:20,400 --> 01:48:23,240 Speaker 29: the NATO forces would only sign up on the quarters 1652 01:48:24,040 --> 01:48:27,400 Speaker 29: that they didn't deploy forces. So President Trump has really 1653 01:48:27,479 --> 01:48:31,240 Speaker 29: I think, wakened up the NATO forces that they won. 1654 01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:33,760 Speaker 29: They have to pony up, you know. Two they have 1655 01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:36,600 Speaker 29: to deploy and have the infrastructure to go to c 1656 01:48:37,040 --> 01:48:38,519 Speaker 29: You know, when I work for the President, I used 1657 01:48:38,560 --> 01:48:40,679 Speaker 29: to say, if you go in to see him, one, 1658 01:48:41,120 --> 01:48:43,000 Speaker 29: there's six things I want to tell you. One he's 1659 01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:44,640 Speaker 29: not going to do the same thing and expect a 1660 01:48:44,640 --> 01:48:48,760 Speaker 29: different result, which is you know, withdrawal from Afghanistan. Two 1661 01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:52,400 Speaker 29: he's going to be respectful of taxpayer dollars. And three 1662 01:48:52,479 --> 01:48:55,040 Speaker 29: he's not going to put any American in harms way, 1663 01:48:55,080 --> 01:48:58,559 Speaker 29: whether it be DoD Department of State or NGOs. 1664 01:48:58,840 --> 01:48:59,360 Speaker 2: And the other thing. 1665 01:48:59,360 --> 01:49:01,200 Speaker 29: If you go into the President, he's going to ask 1666 01:49:01,200 --> 01:49:04,320 Speaker 29: you with the project, how much are we paying, how 1667 01:49:04,400 --> 01:49:06,400 Speaker 29: much are why is it important the United States? How 1668 01:49:06,479 --> 01:49:09,519 Speaker 29: much are we pain? How much are other's pain? Burden sharing? 1669 01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:12,280 Speaker 29: And he wants NATO to step up and share the burden. 1670 01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:18,080 Speaker 2: Admiral hangover a second. I want to go to come 1671 01:49:18,120 --> 01:49:21,120 Speaker 2: back to you and want Taje Gil You've had this 1672 01:49:21,320 --> 01:49:24,639 Speaker 2: chance to see this today. The Navy Seals got two 1673 01:49:24,720 --> 01:49:28,160 Speaker 2: great speakers at the beginning and a demonstration of the 1674 01:49:28,240 --> 01:49:32,440 Speaker 2: Navy Seals boarding ships. Your thoughts today, particularly the enthusiasm 1675 01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:33,200 Speaker 2: of the sailors. 1676 01:49:35,120 --> 01:49:36,160 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, that was awesome. 1677 01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:37,120 Speaker 22: Trump. 1678 01:49:37,120 --> 01:49:43,680 Speaker 2: Trump's the man. Trump. Can you hear me? Yes, sir, 1679 01:49:43,720 --> 01:49:46,640 Speaker 2: I got you. 1680 01:49:45,439 --> 01:49:46,040 Speaker 5: Okay, got it. 1681 01:49:46,240 --> 01:49:50,200 Speaker 15: Yeah, Trump's man, He's amazing. Those sailors were fired up. 1682 01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:52,400 Speaker 15: And then I saw him earlier. I was watching the 1683 01:49:52,400 --> 01:49:55,640 Speaker 15: show earlier when he was out on the on the 1684 01:49:55,680 --> 01:49:58,520 Speaker 15: aircraft carrier and they were doing the live fire demonstration 1685 01:49:58,600 --> 01:50:00,679 Speaker 15: with the Sea Whiz and the Navy Seal faster rope. 1686 01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:01,040 Speaker 22: Been there. 1687 01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:03,880 Speaker 2: That was an incredible day. 1688 01:50:03,920 --> 01:50:07,799 Speaker 15: And like Trump said, the naval recruiting in twenty twenty 1689 01:50:07,800 --> 01:50:11,120 Speaker 15: five is the highest ever and that's because of Trump. 1690 01:50:11,360 --> 01:50:14,200 Speaker 15: And that's because of heg Seth getting all the woke 1691 01:50:14,280 --> 01:50:16,920 Speaker 15: stuff out of the military and turning it back into 1692 01:50:16,960 --> 01:50:20,240 Speaker 15: a lethal fighting force as it should be, and using 1693 01:50:20,280 --> 01:50:23,479 Speaker 15: the naval power to restore the freedom of navigation in 1694 01:50:23,520 --> 01:50:27,639 Speaker 15: the Red Sea and defeating the hoodies. The Trump Trump 1695 01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:30,400 Speaker 15: is the man. Pete Haig Seth is doing an amazing job, 1696 01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:34,320 Speaker 15: and the Navy is gonna flourish again. It's going to 1697 01:50:34,360 --> 01:50:37,800 Speaker 15: turn back into a fighting force, and their job is 1698 01:50:37,800 --> 01:50:41,320 Speaker 15: to maintain freedom of navigation across the world, to keep 1699 01:50:41,320 --> 01:50:42,400 Speaker 15: the shipping lanes open. 1700 01:50:46,280 --> 01:50:48,680 Speaker 2: For recruiting, it's very you know, for recruiting for the 1701 01:50:48,760 --> 01:50:50,920 Speaker 2: Navy Seals. It's always tough to get the right people. 1702 01:50:50,920 --> 01:50:52,759 Speaker 2: I know a lot of people want to be Navy Seals, 1703 01:50:52,760 --> 01:50:56,080 Speaker 2: but it's so tough psychologically and physically. And I tell people, 1704 01:50:56,080 --> 01:51:00,760 Speaker 2: the psychological toughness of you guys is unbelievable. What do 1705 01:51:00,800 --> 01:51:03,960 Speaker 2: you think this meant today to a broader audience, particularly 1706 01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:07,320 Speaker 2: of young Americans, about the potential for volunteering for the Navy. 1707 01:51:09,960 --> 01:51:11,519 Speaker 15: I think, I think young people are going to be 1708 01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:14,400 Speaker 15: fired up. I think, well, we already see they're already 1709 01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:17,400 Speaker 15: fired up. The The recruitings the highest it's ever been 1710 01:51:17,439 --> 01:51:20,240 Speaker 15: for the Navy, and I think that's that goes across 1711 01:51:20,840 --> 01:51:25,760 Speaker 15: armed forces. But everything Trump in the military is doing 1712 01:51:25,840 --> 01:51:31,479 Speaker 15: right now, it builds enthusiasm, it builds morale, and it 1713 01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:35,760 Speaker 15: gets people motivated to be Americans, like we need to 1714 01:51:35,760 --> 01:51:39,240 Speaker 15: bring back an overwhelming sense of patriotism to America. That's 1715 01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:43,080 Speaker 15: how you depete defeat this this woke mind virus. You know, 1716 01:51:43,360 --> 01:51:47,920 Speaker 15: this ideology that's in America. It's through patriotism and it's 1717 01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:51,519 Speaker 15: through leadership. And Trump is providing the leadership. But Pete 1718 01:51:51,520 --> 01:51:55,559 Speaker 15: Hegseth in power, and he is getting rid of all 1719 01:51:55,560 --> 01:51:58,040 Speaker 15: this crap that's in the military and it's returning it 1720 01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:01,799 Speaker 15: to its roofs. The Department of War. It's a fighting force. 1721 01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:05,240 Speaker 15: Lethality is its job, and that's what they're doing. And 1722 01:52:05,720 --> 01:52:08,439 Speaker 15: that's going to motivate young people to join the military 1723 01:52:08,520 --> 01:52:11,439 Speaker 15: because the military is now the military again. It's a 1724 01:52:11,439 --> 01:52:15,040 Speaker 15: fighting force. It's not you know, they're not all doing 1725 01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:16,920 Speaker 15: all this other stuff that they're not supposed to be. 1726 01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:20,080 Speaker 15: So I think this is going to motivate young people 1727 01:52:20,120 --> 01:52:21,880 Speaker 15: to join the military big time. 1728 01:52:23,960 --> 01:52:28,439 Speaker 2: As Pete said, a precision and ferocity. Guys, hang right there. 1729 01:52:28,479 --> 01:52:30,640 Speaker 2: I want to go. Captain Fanel, We're going to let 1730 01:52:30,640 --> 01:52:33,959 Speaker 2: you go. You're closing thoughts.

You served your country. You were bold 1733 01:52:40,640 --> 01:52:42,599 Speaker 2: enough and brave enough to tell the country what they 1734 01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:46,120 Speaker 2: needed to hear at the very moment, certain administrations didn't 1735 01:52:46,120 --> 01:52:48,880 Speaker 2: want anybody to talk about that. What are your thoughts today? 1736 01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:54,120 Speaker 12: Well, I just joined the chorus of what you've just heard. 1737 01:52:54,520 --> 01:52:57,800 Speaker 12: This is really a spectacular. I'm sitting over here in Switzerland, 1738 01:52:58,040 --> 01:53:02,200 Speaker 12: it's almost midnight, and proud to be here and proud 1739 01:53:02,200 --> 01:53:04,960 Speaker 12: to have watched all this, and I can feel the 1740 01:53:05,240 --> 01:53:08,600 Speaker 12: energy all the way over here. I came into the 1741 01:53:08,680 --> 01:53:12,160 Speaker 12: Navy in nineteen eighty six when I was commissioned, and 1742 01:53:12,520 --> 01:53:15,920 Speaker 12: I came in in the Reagan Top Gun movie had 1743 01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:19,400 Speaker 12: come out. Reagan was president, and I wanted something to 1744 01:53:19,439 --> 01:53:22,240 Speaker 12: do that was meaningful, and I wanted to join the Navy. 1745 01:53:22,800 --> 01:53:26,720 Speaker 12: And I can see in those sailors faces, especially the 1746 01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:31,280 Speaker 12: petty officers today, and I think Admiral Hall said they 1747 01:53:31,320 --> 01:53:34,639 Speaker 12: won't clap, that no one orders sailors to clap. They 1748 01:53:34,680 --> 01:53:40,519 Speaker 12: were happy, they were enthusiastic about their president and their service. 1749 01:53:41,200 --> 01:53:45,280 Speaker 12: And I am so excited to see this, and I'm 1750 01:53:45,320 --> 01:53:48,840 Speaker 12: just looking forward to seeing our Navy grow and for 1751 01:53:48,960 --> 01:53:51,519 Speaker 12: us to become the Navy that we have always been, 1752 01:53:51,880 --> 01:53:56,040 Speaker 12: which is to ensure that every seafaring nation has freedom 1753 01:53:56,040 --> 01:53:59,240 Speaker 12: of navigation, free access to the oceans, and that we 1754 01:53:59,400 --> 01:54:02,600 Speaker 12: defend Erica both from the land and the Sea.

But look, I thought today was fantastic. 1803 01:56:24,240 --> 01:56:26,480 Speaker 26: The opportunity to celebrate the Navy, the history of the Navy, 1804 01:56:26,680 --> 01:56:29,160 Speaker 26: seeing those sailors down there in the pier get fired up. 1805 01:56:30,120 --> 01:56:31,320 Speaker 22: This is what it's all about. 1806 01:56:31,920 --> 01:56:35,760 Speaker 26: This folks getting appreciated, getting thanked for their service, feeling 1807 01:56:35,840 --> 01:56:40,720 Speaker 26: inspired about what they're doing, and importantly the why Steve 1808 01:56:40,760 --> 01:56:42,400 Speaker 26: you know this? I mean, you can sit around forever 1809 01:56:42,480 --> 01:56:44,480 Speaker 26: and do what you're told, but having that sense of 1810 01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:47,960 Speaker 26: duty and purpose is critical. And what President Trump reminded 1811 01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:50,720 Speaker 26: folks again today was that sense of purpose. And he 1812 01:56:50,760 --> 01:56:52,800 Speaker 26: also made it very clear in a sort of a 1813 01:56:52,840 --> 01:56:55,200 Speaker 26: funny way that look, I'm gonna go out there and 1814 01:56:55,240 --> 01:56:57,120 Speaker 26: be the president of peace. I'm on the cusp and 1815 01:56:57,160 --> 01:57:00,280 Speaker 26: on the precipice of solving eight big wars. But that 1816 01:57:00,360 --> 01:57:02,960 Speaker 26: means that you don't have to fight. That you can 1817 01:57:03,040 --> 01:57:06,040 Speaker 26: continue to train and be ready, but we're going to 1818 01:57:06,080 --> 01:57:07,880 Speaker 26: make sure that we bring peace around the world so 1819 01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:09,520 Speaker 26: that we don't have to use you unless we have to. 1820 01:57:12,840 --> 01:57:14,480 Speaker 2: Captain, Can you hang out for a second, We'll come 1821 01:57:14,520 --> 01:57:15,840 Speaker 2: back to it because I want to ask you some 1822 01:57:15,880 --> 01:57:18,320 Speaker 2: differences between the first and second term. I think we're 1823 01:57:18,320 --> 01:57:21,640 Speaker 2: seeing a much more determined President Trump. There will not 1824 01:57:21,720 --> 01:57:26,000 Speaker 2: be held down by the voices of just conventional of 1825 01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:28,480 Speaker 2: how to think about things conventionally. I want to go 1826 01:57:29,160 --> 01:57:32,360 Speaker 2: Cleo Pascal. I want to thank you for spending the 1827 01:57:32,480 --> 01:57:37,640 Speaker 2: entire day doing this. Your whole theory of the case 1828 01:57:37,680 --> 01:57:41,240 Speaker 2: about the Central Pacific being the strategic pivot, the counter 1829 01:57:41,280 --> 01:57:44,400 Speaker 2: to Mackinder's Heartland theory, I think is brilliant. We're gonna 1830 01:57:44,440 --> 01:57:47,200 Speaker 2: spend a lot more time developing that over the days 1831 01:57:47,200 --> 01:57:51,600 Speaker 2: and weeks ahead. Thank you so much. Closing thoughts and observations, ma'am. 1832 01:57:53,160 --> 01:57:55,960 Speaker 14: It's been a great day and an honor to spend 1833 01:57:55,960 --> 01:57:59,880 Speaker 14: it with you and with the posse watching as well. 1834 01:58:00,080 --> 01:58:02,840 Speaker 14: And just for those of you who aren't in the 1835 01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:07,240 Speaker 14: navy to understand that this affects your daily lives in 1836 01:58:07,360 --> 01:58:12,680 Speaker 14: so many ways. The old saying of trade follows the flag. 1837 01:58:12,760 --> 01:58:15,520 Speaker 14: This is about the economy and economic growth. And I 1838 01:58:15,560 --> 01:58:19,000 Speaker 14: would argue also the currency follows the flag. So when 1839 01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:22,240 Speaker 14: the British Navy was the dominant force in the nineteenth century, 1840 01:58:22,240 --> 01:58:25,280 Speaker 14: the British pound was the global reserve currency, and the 1841 01:58:26,080 --> 01:58:29,680 Speaker 14: US dollar really became the global reserve currency at the 1842 01:58:29,720 --> 01:58:33,960 Speaker 14: same time as the naval power of the US became 1843 01:58:34,120 --> 01:58:38,320 Speaker 14: really evident. They're not totally congruent, but they certainly overlapped 1844 01:58:38,360 --> 01:58:41,280 Speaker 14: to a large degree. So the role of the Navy 1845 01:58:41,520 --> 01:58:46,920 Speaker 14: in preserving core economic straints within the US system is paramount. 1846 01:58:47,520 --> 01:58:53,240 Speaker 14: And you know, the president's speech about rebuilding the Navy 1847 01:58:53,240 --> 01:58:58,280 Speaker 14: and about shipbuilding is incredibly important and heartening. And apart 1848 01:58:58,280 --> 01:59:00,720 Speaker 14: from that, I'll i'd say, is you know, go Navy 1849 01:59:00,760 --> 01:59:01,360 Speaker 14: beat China. 1850 01:59:04,840 --> 01:59:07,640 Speaker 2: Cleo, what's your social media? How do people keep up 1851 01:59:07,640 --> 01:59:09,440 Speaker 2: with you? What are your cordinates? 1852 01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:13,800 Speaker 14: I'm on ex just my name Cleopascal Clo, PSKL and 1853 01:59:13,920 --> 01:59:18,040 Speaker 14: on getter at real Cleo because somebody stole my name. 1854 01:59:21,680 --> 01:59:25,920 Speaker 2: Thank you, ma'am. Admiral Masso. You're an expert in naval warfare, 1855 01:59:26,160 --> 01:59:29,000 Speaker 2: surface warfare. You know everything about the and have worked 1856 01:59:29,040 --> 01:59:32,240 Speaker 2: in the process of getting these great weapons systems and 1857 01:59:32,280 --> 01:59:34,840 Speaker 2: all that, but you really specialize in motivating young men 1858 01:59:34,880 --> 01:59:37,600 Speaker 2: and women. Put in perspective what we saw today, sir. 1859 01:59:38,600 --> 01:59:40,960 Speaker 10: Well, I think that what we saw today is that 1860 01:59:41,280 --> 01:59:44,600 Speaker 10: the two hundred and fifty year amazing journey of Our 1861 01:59:44,680 --> 01:59:48,960 Speaker 10: navy is completely parallel with our nation and it's two 1862 01:59:49,000 --> 01:59:53,240 Speaker 10: hundred and fifty year journey. Everything our nation has acquired 1863 01:59:53,280 --> 01:59:57,600 Speaker 10: and done has really been enabled in a very large 1864 01:59:57,640 --> 02:00:00,600 Speaker 10: way by our Navy. I think to today what we 1865 02:00:00,680 --> 02:00:05,720 Speaker 10: showed our allies and enemies and our own internal sailors 1866 02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:09,240 Speaker 10: in the family is that we are vital. That the 1867 02:00:09,280 --> 02:00:14,760 Speaker 10: President has stepped up and has amazingly supported us. Our 1868 02:00:14,800 --> 02:00:18,880 Speaker 10: future is bright, and there is no better friend nor 1869 02:00:18,960 --> 02:00:24,280 Speaker 10: worse adversary potentially than our own navy, and we showed 1870 02:00:24,280 --> 02:00:26,680 Speaker 10: that in spades today. It was an amazing day, and 1871 02:00:26,720 --> 02:00:29,320 Speaker 10: I thank you for allowing me to participate with you, 1872 02:00:29,800 --> 02:00:33,080 Speaker 10: and I thank you for spending as much time as 1873 02:00:33,120 --> 02:00:35,640 Speaker 10: you did, because no one else put it together like 1874 02:00:35,680 --> 02:00:36,040 Speaker 10: you did. 1875 02:00:38,440 --> 02:00:38,520 Speaker 26: Well. 1876 02:00:38,560 --> 02:00:40,320 Speaker 2: It was easy giving all the guys like you I 1877 02:00:40,360 --> 02:00:42,280 Speaker 2: know in the Navy and how much we love it. 1878 02:00:42,320 --> 02:00:45,080 Speaker 2: But it was an incredible Real America's Voice and the 1879 02:00:45,160 --> 02:00:49,440 Speaker 2: Navy put on such a incredible show of combined operations, 1880 02:00:49,480 --> 02:00:52,680 Speaker 2: and I was really proud the fact since Parker and 1881 02:00:52,720 --> 02:00:54,920 Speaker 2: Rob Saging, the Real America's Voice team, worked so hard 1882 02:00:55,000 --> 02:00:57,400 Speaker 2: on this, the actual the White House in the Navy 1883 02:00:57,480 --> 02:00:59,320 Speaker 2: decided to give us a feed that nobody else had, 1884 02:00:59,320 --> 02:01:02,200 Speaker 2: so Emerald Man, So do you have social media sunny 1885 02:01:02,240 --> 02:01:04,480 Speaker 2: to place people and go get your writings? 1886 02:01:06,000 --> 02:01:08,919 Speaker 10: No, not really.

Let me 1903 02:02:04,720 --> 02:02:06,040 Speaker 2: go back. I want to make sure we get all 1904 02:02:06,080 --> 02:02:10,200 Speaker 2: of our other guests in here. Sean Spicer just give 1905 02:02:10,280 --> 02:02:14,120 Speaker 2: put in perspective today in particularly President Trump's want to 1906 02:02:14,120 --> 02:02:17,200 Speaker 2: do this for a long time. The analogy to Roosevelt 1907 02:02:17,200 --> 02:02:19,120 Speaker 2: the Great White Fleet, we do it that basically the 1908 02:02:19,120 --> 02:02:23,960 Speaker 2: same thing, Hampton Roads, Virginia Capes. And compare President Trump 1909 02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:26,400 Speaker 2: to the first term and what he's trying to accomplish 1910 02:02:26,880 --> 02:02:27,400 Speaker 2: this term. 1911 02:02:27,440 --> 02:02:31,960 Speaker 26: Sir, it's a great question. I've been going down this 1912 02:02:31,960 --> 02:02:33,440 Speaker 26: and I'll have more to announce because I actually have 1913 02:02:33,440 --> 02:02:35,600 Speaker 26: a project that I'm working on this to really talk 1914 02:02:35,600 --> 02:02:38,360 Speaker 26: about the difference in all of the areas between Trump 1915 02:02:38,400 --> 02:02:40,520 Speaker 26: one point zero and two point zero. And I think 1916 02:02:40,560 --> 02:02:43,320 Speaker 26: the difference in two point zero, whether it's NATO, and 1917 02:02:43,320 --> 02:02:46,120 Speaker 26: one of your previous guests mentioned that tariffs or the 1918 02:02:46,160 --> 02:02:49,400 Speaker 26: military in particular, think about what he has tasked Secretary 1919 02:02:49,400 --> 02:02:52,640 Speaker 26: of the Navy John Feeling with shipbuilding. So the first 1920 02:02:52,680 --> 02:02:54,680 Speaker 26: time when he came in office, Steve, you know that 1921 02:02:54,720 --> 02:02:56,320 Speaker 26: there's a lot of us getting to know each other, 1922 02:02:56,400 --> 02:02:58,720 Speaker 26: the president getting to know us, the president trying to understand, 1923 02:02:58,800 --> 02:03:00,280 Speaker 26: you know, what his agenda was, how. 1924 02:03:00,200 --> 02:03:00,800 Speaker 8: To get it through. 1925 02:03:01,040 --> 02:03:03,120 Speaker 26: He knew what he wanted, but he didn't necessarily understand 1926 02:03:03,120 --> 02:03:05,360 Speaker 26: the process, and frankly, I don't know that we all did. 1927 02:03:05,360 --> 02:03:08,440 Speaker 26: He came into the second term very clear about what 1928 02:03:08,600 --> 02:03:10,520 Speaker 26: he wanted to do, with the time that he had 1929 02:03:10,520 --> 02:03:12,200 Speaker 26: in the second term. So you look at Tom Pullman 1930 02:03:12,480 --> 02:03:15,920 Speaker 26: the precision which he's carrying out these immigration raids to 1931 02:03:15,960 --> 02:03:17,920 Speaker 26: make sure our country is safer and stronger. 1932 02:03:18,080 --> 02:03:18,840 Speaker 5: But he also is. 1933 02:03:18,800 --> 02:03:21,080 Speaker 26: Doing that in the military. Anytime you listen to the 1934 02:03:21,120 --> 02:03:23,800 Speaker 26: Secretary of the Navy, John Feeling, he's very, very laser 1935 02:03:23,840 --> 02:03:26,600 Speaker 26: focused on shipbuilding. He understands the task at hand, the 1936 02:03:26,680 --> 02:03:28,640 Speaker 26: threats that we face in the future, and he's not 1937 02:03:28,720 --> 02:03:32,840 Speaker 26: wasting any time, you know, putting plans and PowerPoint presentations 1938 02:03:32,880 --> 02:03:35,640 Speaker 26: and taking meetings. It's like he's got his marching orders 1939 02:03:35,680 --> 02:03:37,320 Speaker 26: out there, which is this is what we need to 1940 02:03:37,360 --> 02:03:39,240 Speaker 26: do to take on the threats in the future. I 1941 02:03:39,280 --> 02:03:40,920 Speaker 26: want you to stay laser focused on that. I want 1942 02:03:40,960 --> 02:03:43,040 Speaker 26: you to implement it to get it done. And I 1943 02:03:43,040 --> 02:03:46,360 Speaker 26: think Secretary Feeling has done a phenomenal job of literally 1944 02:03:46,440 --> 02:03:50,120 Speaker 26: taking those orders from the top and executing him making 1945 02:03:50,120 --> 02:03:52,840 Speaker 26: sure that everyone understands what the focus is. And that's 1946 02:03:52,960 --> 02:03:54,640 Speaker 26: what I think the real difference is right now is 1947 02:03:54,680 --> 02:03:57,760 Speaker 26: that President and Trump isn't waiting around. He understands that 1948 02:03:57,840 --> 02:04:00,760 Speaker 26: the threat is real, the threat is now, and he's 1949 02:04:00,840 --> 02:04:03,560 Speaker 26: tasked all of these folks and you look at I 1950 02:04:03,840 --> 02:04:07,600 Speaker 26: know a lot of people who haven't served didn't appreciate. 1951 02:04:07,680 --> 02:04:12,560 Speaker 26: I don't think the message that Secretary Sects gave the 1952 02:04:12,560 --> 02:04:15,840 Speaker 26: other day. This idea of an ethos isn't just about 1953 02:04:15,880 --> 02:04:18,080 Speaker 26: how many push ups you can do or how long 1954 02:04:18,160 --> 02:04:20,720 Speaker 26: you complank for It's a mindset. If you wake up 1955 02:04:20,760 --> 02:04:23,000 Speaker 26: every day thinking I'm going to be ready to fight, 1956 02:04:23,000 --> 02:04:24,560 Speaker 26: I'm going to be ready to defend this country, it 1957 02:04:24,640 --> 02:04:26,560 Speaker 26: kind of permeates everything that you do. You go to 1958 02:04:26,600 --> 02:04:30,760 Speaker 26: your desk, whether you're sitting there working, you know, in 1959 02:04:30,800 --> 02:04:34,560 Speaker 26: a program that's that's death based or death based out 1960 02:04:34,600 --> 02:04:37,120 Speaker 26: on a ship. You understand that there's a purpose to 1961 02:04:37,120 --> 02:04:39,480 Speaker 26: what you do and a readiness to yourself and to 1962 02:04:39,520 --> 02:04:42,880 Speaker 26: your teams that's critical. And what Hegseth did the other 1963 02:04:42,920 --> 02:04:44,480 Speaker 26: day was to reset that mentality. 1964 02:04:44,680 --> 02:04:45,400 Speaker 5: And they say, we're not. 1965 02:04:45,360 --> 02:04:47,880 Speaker 26: Here to hug each other to all get along. We're 1966 02:04:47,920 --> 02:04:51,800 Speaker 26: here to protect this nation. And there is a complete 1967 02:04:51,960 --> 02:04:57,440 Speaker 26: and utter sort of unity of purpose that it stems 1968 02:04:57,440 --> 02:04:59,520 Speaker 26: from the top with President Trump goes down through Secretary 1969 02:04:59,520 --> 02:05:03,320 Speaker 26: of Hegseth down into the Navy to Secretary Feeling and 1970 02:05:03,360 --> 02:05:06,320 Speaker 26: the CNO and everyone else. So I feel like that 1971 02:05:06,720 --> 02:05:12,760 Speaker 26: the sense of unity purpose mission is so much greater 1972 02:05:12,880 --> 02:05:16,480 Speaker 26: this time because President Trump has picked a team and 1973 02:05:16,520 --> 02:05:19,480 Speaker 26: made it clear what those policy are policies are and 1974 02:05:19,480 --> 02:05:20,560 Speaker 26: then said, go do it. 1975 02:05:23,640 --> 02:05:27,440 Speaker 2: Sean Spicer, brilliant.

You've got a great insight to President Trump 2036 02:08:02,640 --> 02:08:06,160 Speaker 2: and particularly how he works in this thinking about national 2037 02:08:06,160 --> 02:08:09,240 Speaker 2: security since you were on the National Security Council for 2038 02:08:09,400 --> 02:08:11,280 Speaker 2: President Trump and worked closely with him for a couple 2039 02:08:11,320 --> 02:08:14,520 Speaker 2: of years. This week is going to be the announcement 2040 02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:18,520 Speaker 2: of the awarding of the Nobel Prize for Peace. Is 2041 02:08:18,520 --> 02:08:20,720 Speaker 2: already a great piece of I think it's a newsweek 2042 02:08:20,760 --> 02:08:23,760 Speaker 2: about how and maybe daily mail also about how it's 2043 02:08:23,800 --> 02:08:27,280 Speaker 2: kind of stacked against him with the Norwegians. But closing 2044 02:08:27,320 --> 02:08:30,959 Speaker 2: thoughts on today and particularly President Trump and this leadership 2045 02:08:30,960 --> 02:08:33,320 Speaker 2: style was seeing right now in his second term. 2046 02:08:34,240 --> 02:08:36,280 Speaker 29: Well, first of all, I was one of the Navy's 2047 02:08:36,280 --> 02:08:39,600 Speaker 29: finest telicopter pilots, and the best pilot I ever flew 2048 02:08:39,640 --> 02:08:41,920 Speaker 29: with was a young guy named Chris Bannon. Had to 2049 02:08:41,920 --> 02:08:45,560 Speaker 29: get that out there. Chris was an awesome co pilot. 2050 02:08:45,600 --> 02:08:49,640 Speaker 29: We made a difference in the war. First of all, 2051 02:08:49,680 --> 02:08:52,800 Speaker 29: the Navy is the away team, so we are deployed, 2052 02:08:53,160 --> 02:08:56,600 Speaker 29: and everybody's been talking about shipbuilding. The President also talked 2053 02:08:56,600 --> 02:09:01,400 Speaker 29: about investing in shipyards, ammo and sailors. Right now, we 2054 02:09:01,480 --> 02:09:03,400 Speaker 29: have the lowest number of ships in the Navy we've 2055 02:09:03,440 --> 02:09:06,480 Speaker 29: ever had. We have ships that have to come into 2056 02:09:06,520 --> 02:09:09,200 Speaker 29: port give their ammunition to another ship before they go out. 2057 02:09:09,560 --> 02:09:11,760 Speaker 29: President Trump's going to solve that and we need to. 2058 02:09:11,960 --> 02:09:15,560 Speaker 29: So I'm grateful for the hammering home of the ship 2059 02:09:15,600 --> 02:09:20,040 Speaker 29: building and the investment in ship shipyards and again where 2060 02:09:20,040 --> 02:09:23,440 Speaker 29: the away team quantity has a quality all of its own. 2061 02:09:23,800 --> 02:09:24,440 Speaker 2: And the President. 2062 02:09:24,480 --> 02:09:27,640 Speaker 29: When you meet the President, and even Bill Maher said, hey, 2063 02:09:27,640 --> 02:09:29,760 Speaker 29: when you're in the White House with him, he's not 2064 02:09:29,840 --> 02:09:33,360 Speaker 29: the guy you see elsewhere. He grew up in construction. 2065 02:09:33,720 --> 02:09:36,080 Speaker 29: I'll tell you when I walked into the Oval Office, 2066 02:09:36,080 --> 02:09:38,040 Speaker 29: he would get up from his desk and walk right 2067 02:09:38,080 --> 02:09:41,000 Speaker 29: over and shake your hand. I mean, he is a 2068 02:09:41,040 --> 02:09:43,600 Speaker 29: man's man. He's a man of the people. He's down 2069 02:09:43,640 --> 02:09:46,400 Speaker 29: and dirty in the you know, in the trenches with 2070 02:09:46,480 --> 02:09:52,280 Speaker 29: all American people, not these politicians that do nothing. So 2071 02:09:52,960 --> 02:09:55,360 Speaker 29: the President, I mean, he's got a grasp on this, 2072 02:09:55,560 --> 02:09:58,000 Speaker 29: and we in nineteen I have to say, in the 2073 02:09:58,080 --> 02:10:00,880 Speaker 29: year two thousand, I was hosted on board Chinese ship 2074 02:10:00,960 --> 02:10:04,240 Speaker 29: and the toast was to the greatest navy in the world, 2075 02:10:04,800 --> 02:10:08,600 Speaker 29: from the fastest growing navy in the world. I tell you, 2076 02:10:08,960 --> 02:10:12,280 Speaker 29: China is our adversary and I hope that we never 2077 02:10:12,360 --> 02:10:16,760 Speaker 29: see American ships underwater due to the Chinese fleet. So 2078 02:10:16,800 --> 02:10:20,440 Speaker 29: we need to build those ships. We need to invest 2079 02:10:20,480 --> 02:10:23,880 Speaker 29: in those shipyards, and we have to arm them completely 2080 02:10:23,880 --> 02:10:29,879 Speaker 29: one with AMO, every ship, every armory. So the President's 2081 02:10:29,920 --> 02:10:32,000 Speaker 29: doing a great job. He's focused. 2082 02:10:34,000 --> 02:10:37,640 Speaker 2: So yeah, we got some to make those tough decisions. 2083 02:10:38,200 --> 02:10:40,240 Speaker 2: We got some tough decisions to make because the defense 2084 02:10:40,280 --> 02:10:42,480 Speaker 2: budget of tree over treeion dollars, You're going to have 2085 02:10:42,520 --> 02:10:45,280 Speaker 2: to make some tough des Look, I'm all for. I 2086 02:10:45,280 --> 02:10:48,879 Speaker 2: think it's the strategic logic of whether it's hemispheric defense 2087 02:10:49,600 --> 02:10:52,120 Speaker 2: and or as I say, you've got to be more 2088 02:10:52,160 --> 02:10:54,920 Speaker 2: confrontational with the Chinese Communist Party. And I realized the 2089 02:10:54,920 --> 02:10:56,760 Speaker 2: new defense we're going to talk about this week. I 2090 02:10:56,760 --> 02:11:00,520 Speaker 2: think the new defense strategy a little bit downplay the 2091 02:11:01,760 --> 02:11:04,400 Speaker 2: issue between the Chinese Commist Party in the United States 2092 02:11:04,440 --> 02:11:06,720 Speaker 2: maybe talks about China as a regional power. It's not 2093 02:11:06,760 --> 02:11:09,440 Speaker 2: a regional power, it's not an East Asia power. It's 2094 02:11:09,480 --> 02:11:12,400 Speaker 2: not just control the South China Sea and the Straits 2095 02:11:12,400 --> 02:11:14,240 Speaker 2: of Taiwan. Oh, they do want to do that. They 2096 02:11:14,280 --> 02:11:16,040 Speaker 2: want to push us out of the Three Island chain, 2097 02:11:16,080 --> 02:11:18,480 Speaker 2: they want to push us back across the Pacific, and 2098 02:11:18,520 --> 02:11:21,080 Speaker 2: they also want to have a dominance in South Asia, 2099 02:11:21,160 --> 02:11:24,240 Speaker 2: particularly around the Indo Pacific, but we'll get into that 2100 02:11:24,360 --> 02:11:26,920 Speaker 2: more this week.

I will tease 2129 02:12:51,600 --> 02:12:56,480 Speaker 2: him all night for that. Stan Wadjakowski is on Stan 2130 02:12:56,560 --> 02:12:58,680 Speaker 2: and I realized you're joining us from Europe. I appreciate 2131 02:12:58,720 --> 02:13:01,280 Speaker 2: you sticking around. I just want to spend a minute 2132 02:13:01,760 --> 02:13:04,040 Speaker 2: about before we leave this about the importance we were 2133 02:13:04,160 --> 02:13:06,920 Speaker 2: able to see the submarines out there today in exercise 2134 02:13:07,840 --> 02:13:10,360 Speaker 2: with the fleece President Trump did. But I just want 2135 02:13:10,400 --> 02:13:12,320 Speaker 2: to make sure before we go you talk about the 2136 02:13:12,320 --> 02:13:16,800 Speaker 2: importance of submarines and most importantly this kind of relationship 2137 02:13:16,920 --> 02:13:20,400 Speaker 2: alliance we have with our brothers and sisters in Australia 2138 02:13:20,960 --> 02:13:23,480 Speaker 2: to make sure that the Chinese Commist Party and particularly 2139 02:13:23,520 --> 02:13:28,200 Speaker 2: the Chinese Navy does not become dominant in the Indo Pacific. 2140 02:13:28,240 --> 02:13:28,440 Speaker 22: Sir. 2141 02:13:29,400 --> 02:13:31,400 Speaker 28: Sure, Thank you very much Steve for having me over 2142 02:13:31,440 --> 02:13:33,440 Speaker 28: on the show on such a moment as occasion, and 2143 02:13:33,520 --> 02:13:38,640 Speaker 28: before I talk of submarines, I want to recognize our 2144 02:13:38,680 --> 02:13:40,800 Speaker 28: men and women in uniform. Today we serve in the 2145 02:13:40,920 --> 02:13:43,240 Speaker 28: Navy both at home, abroad and in the high seas. 2146 02:13:43,760 --> 02:13:46,000 Speaker 2: This display at short force we saw today is. 2147 02:13:45,960 --> 02:13:48,840 Speaker 28: First and foremost a messassage to our current troops but 2148 02:13:48,880 --> 02:13:52,320 Speaker 28: also the future ones enlisting, And in that sense, the 2149 02:13:52,560 --> 02:13:55,880 Speaker 28: Secretary of the Navy Fellon spoke of a very high 2150 02:13:55,880 --> 02:13:59,360 Speaker 28: pace of recruitment, which is I think a commensurate with 2151 02:13:59,840 --> 02:14:05,200 Speaker 28: the both the President Trump's doctrine of reinvigorating and recapitalizing 2152 02:14:05,200 --> 02:14:09,840 Speaker 28: our navy, focusing obviously all of the political and the 2153 02:14:09,880 --> 02:14:14,600 Speaker 28: industrial might of the United States to continue being the 2154 02:14:15,920 --> 02:14:21,200 Speaker 28: greatest naval force the world over in a obviously more 2155 02:14:21,240 --> 02:14:28,160 Speaker 28: perilous world, where freedom of navigation and reassuring allies and 2156 02:14:28,400 --> 02:14:34,920 Speaker 28: deterring adversaries remain and you know, first and foremost a priority. 2157 02:14:35,920 --> 02:14:39,120 Speaker 28: I think today was a very strong message not just 2158 02:14:39,160 --> 02:14:41,800 Speaker 28: sent to the troops, but also sent to our partners 2159 02:14:42,080 --> 02:14:46,480 Speaker 28: and our adversaries. And in that sense, I think to 2160 02:14:46,600 --> 02:14:50,680 Speaker 28: those pundits at home and those allies and partners abroad 2161 02:14:50,720 --> 02:14:54,480 Speaker 28: who have talked a big talk about the US foreign 2162 02:14:54,480 --> 02:14:59,320 Speaker 28: policy being in retreat, the Aucus Alliance, I think is 2163 02:14:59,320 --> 02:15:04,640 Speaker 28: a very strong case against that perceived retreat. And I 2164 02:15:04,720 --> 02:15:08,960 Speaker 28: want to recognize Under Secretary Albert Colby, who was tasked 2165 02:15:09,000 --> 02:15:14,080 Speaker 28: with a very difficult UH review process for a program 2166 02:15:14,120 --> 02:15:18,720 Speaker 28: that President Trump inherited from his predecessor, which brought together 2167 02:15:18,840 --> 02:15:24,160 Speaker 28: the UK and Australia and the US to to project 2168 02:15:25,760 --> 02:15:30,320 Speaker 28: or to continue projecting naval supremacy in in the Indo Pacific, 2169 02:15:30,360 --> 02:15:33,640 Speaker 28: a very large body of water, obviously, and one where 2170 02:15:33,680 --> 02:15:37,200 Speaker 28: they are at any given moment at least six seven 2171 02:15:37,320 --> 02:15:43,400 Speaker 28: territorial disputes between UH China's people liberation, UH Navy or 2172 02:15:43,480 --> 02:15:48,080 Speaker 28: its maritime militia, and and our allies in the region 2173 02:15:48,160 --> 02:15:53,280 Speaker 28: from the Philippines to Vietnam, to Malaysia or Japan, Taiwan, 2174 02:15:53,440 --> 02:15:58,960 Speaker 28: Korea or or Indonesia, and and and so reaffirming our 2175 02:15:58,960 --> 02:16:04,520 Speaker 28: commitment to aucus this forty year program which would build 2176 02:16:05,400 --> 02:16:08,800 Speaker 28: in the US three Virginia class submarines to transfer to 2177 02:16:08,880 --> 02:16:13,520 Speaker 28: Australia and have some sort of a transfer of production 2178 02:16:13,600 --> 02:16:18,800 Speaker 28: and transfer of technology and partnership in collaboration with the UK, 2179 02:16:18,960 --> 02:16:21,640 Speaker 28: the only partner we've ever done a transfer of technology 2180 02:16:21,640 --> 02:16:26,080 Speaker 28: and the nuclear power propulsion realm for Australia to deter 2181 02:16:26,960 --> 02:16:30,080 Speaker 28: first to reassure our friends and allies in the region 2182 02:16:30,600 --> 02:16:35,360 Speaker 28: and also give predictability to our adversaries. Deterrence is the 2183 02:16:35,440 --> 02:16:39,279 Speaker 28: name of the game. Peace through strength is a doctrine, 2184 02:16:39,680 --> 02:16:46,000 Speaker 28: and in fact, stealth is probably today the single most 2185 02:16:46,000 --> 02:16:51,000 Speaker 28: important element of our nuclear triad because in an age 2186 02:16:51,120 --> 02:16:53,920 Speaker 28: of shifting innovations in. 2187 02:16:55,879 --> 02:16:56,560 Speaker 5: The war. 2188 02:16:58,120 --> 02:17:02,280 Speaker 28: Scenarios that we are seeing in Ukraine and elsewhere, low 2189 02:17:02,320 --> 02:17:10,359 Speaker 28: tech technologies, low tech weapons systems are increasingly threatening very expensive, 2190 02:17:10,520 --> 02:17:16,000 Speaker 28: very complex systems and platforms. And whether it is you 2191 02:17:16,360 --> 02:17:21,880 Speaker 28: unmanned surface drones or underwater drones or aerial drones that 2192 02:17:21,959 --> 02:17:26,240 Speaker 28: are having a major impact on conventional warfare for a 2193 02:17:26,360 --> 02:17:29,960 Speaker 28: very low cost. I might add it is absolutely fundamental 2194 02:17:30,120 --> 02:17:34,440 Speaker 28: that our submarine fleet remains the strongest fleet in the 2195 02:17:34,480 --> 02:17:38,640 Speaker 28: world and continues to grow. And America First does not 2196 02:17:38,720 --> 02:17:44,400 Speaker 28: necessarily mean America alone, far from that. I think AUCUS 2197 02:17:44,440 --> 02:17:47,800 Speaker 28: and reaffirming our commitment to AUCUS sends a message to 2198 02:17:47,840 --> 02:17:51,560 Speaker 28: our NATO partner, sends a message to our allies in 2199 02:17:51,600 --> 02:17:57,160 Speaker 28: the Pacific into Pacific that the US remains a steadfast 2200 02:17:57,160 --> 02:18:02,080 Speaker 28: partner in keeping freedom of navigation and deterring any kind 2201 02:18:02,120 --> 02:18:07,440 Speaker 28: of adversary, whether they're conventional, asymmetric or non state actors. 2202 02:18:07,800 --> 02:18:10,360 Speaker 28: So in that sense, I want to recognize both President 2203 02:18:10,400 --> 02:18:15,440 Speaker 28: and Trump and his Secretary of the War and Secretary 2204 02:18:15,480 --> 02:18:19,480 Speaker 28: of the Navy, but also the under Secretary Colby for 2205 02:18:19,560 --> 02:18:22,879 Speaker 28: having reaffirmed and sent a very strong message in that sense. 2206 02:18:23,800 --> 02:18:27,440 Speaker 2: No, Bridge, Colby's done a great job. Just this defense 2207 02:18:27,520 --> 02:18:30,600 Speaker 2: that is coming out about chining to be a regional 2208 02:18:30,640 --> 02:18:32,880 Speaker 2: problem versus global problem. We'll get to that later in 2209 02:18:32,920 --> 02:18:35,480 Speaker 2: the week. Stan, before I let you go on, give 2210 02:18:35,520 --> 02:18:38,240 Speaker 2: us a minute. You use the term that we've talked 2211 02:18:38,240 --> 02:18:40,760 Speaker 2: about today, but I don't think we've actually highlighted it. 2212 02:18:41,480 --> 02:18:42,840 Speaker 2: And this is why I'm saying there's gonna be some 2213 02:18:42,840 --> 02:18:47,480 Speaker 2: tough decisions and choices made. You use the term naval supremacy. 2214 02:18:48,000 --> 02:18:49,959 Speaker 2: What do you mean by naval supremacy and what does 2215 02:18:50,000 --> 02:18:51,279 Speaker 2: it mean in today's world? 2216 02:18:52,640 --> 02:18:56,199 Speaker 28: So, naval supremacy first and foremost is about freedom of navigation. 2217 02:18:56,800 --> 02:19:01,240 Speaker 28: And this is a big globe where we we exchange 2218 02:19:01,280 --> 02:19:04,760 Speaker 28: and trade goods with all partners around the world. And 2219 02:19:05,000 --> 02:19:09,920 Speaker 28: in centuries prior and even in decades prior, without a 2220 02:19:10,040 --> 02:19:16,160 Speaker 28: strong naval force and a leading globally capable naval force, 2221 02:19:16,600 --> 02:19:21,760 Speaker 28: piracy was a lot more common, and state actors could 2222 02:19:23,000 --> 02:19:27,800 Speaker 28: undermine significantly the trading order. And I think in this 2223 02:19:27,920 --> 02:19:34,160 Speaker 28: global world we need a force that can guarantee freedom 2224 02:19:34,160 --> 02:19:38,000 Speaker 28: of navigation first and foremost. But as we look at 2225 02:19:38,040 --> 02:19:41,840 Speaker 28: the Indo Pacific, such a large body and squath of water, 2226 02:19:42,360 --> 02:19:45,240 Speaker 28: and we see all these island nations that are constantly 2227 02:19:45,640 --> 02:19:50,320 Speaker 28: challenged in their economic exclusive economic zones and territorial waters. 2228 02:19:50,920 --> 02:19:55,080 Speaker 28: Naval supremacy also means projecting far from home base, the 2229 02:19:55,480 --> 02:19:58,959 Speaker 28: ability to deter those that might want to challenge the 2230 02:19:59,000 --> 02:20:03,000 Speaker 28: existing order. And in Indiando Pacific, for the most part, 2231 02:20:03,080 --> 02:20:06,240 Speaker 28: it means you know the people's liberation navy or their 2232 02:20:06,320 --> 02:20:13,400 Speaker 28: maritime militia, whether it is by way of building artificial 2233 02:20:13,440 --> 02:20:18,600 Speaker 28: reefs or whether it is by plowing fisheries near our 2234 02:20:18,680 --> 02:20:23,680 Speaker 28: shores in South America, in the Galapagos, in Argentina, challenging 2235 02:20:24,240 --> 02:20:28,560 Speaker 28: those navies and ways that they're incapable of responding on 2236 02:20:28,600 --> 02:20:34,040 Speaker 28: an equal footing the US Navy, and that US naval 2237 02:20:34,080 --> 02:20:36,360 Speaker 28: supremacy is more important than. 2238 02:20:36,280 --> 02:20:41,280 Speaker 2: Ever stan Where do people go to find out you're 2239 02:20:41,280 --> 02:20:44,120 Speaker 2: writing your thinking social media? Are you old school and 2240 02:20:44,160 --> 02:20:45,160 Speaker 2: don't do social media? 2241 02:20:46,320 --> 02:20:49,000 Speaker 28: So a bit like the submarines that we spend a 2242 02:20:49,000 --> 02:20:52,240 Speaker 28: lot of time trying to connect capital with industry and 2243 02:20:52,320 --> 02:20:55,519 Speaker 28: policy decision making. We try to remain. 2244 02:20:55,240 --> 02:20:56,439 Speaker 9: As stealth as possible. 2245 02:20:56,560 --> 02:21:00,240 Speaker 28: Obviously we have a LinkedIn bait, we have an you know, 2246 02:21:00,280 --> 02:21:02,760 Speaker 28: an ex account, but for the most part is to 2247 02:21:02,800 --> 02:21:06,520 Speaker 28: watch your show and not really post anything. I did 2248 02:21:06,560 --> 02:21:10,920 Speaker 28: post something yesterday in French media about the German submarine 2249 02:21:10,959 --> 02:21:15,440 Speaker 28: manufacturer TKMS going partly public in Frankfurt and what the 2250 02:21:15,440 --> 02:21:19,000 Speaker 28: implications are for those conventional submarines. 2251 02:21:19,040 --> 02:21:20,080 Speaker 5: I do want to say there was. 2252 02:21:20,080 --> 02:21:22,720 Speaker 28: A very good article that came out in the US 2253 02:21:23,040 --> 02:21:27,560 Speaker 28: Naval Institute's website by Lieutenant Commander Jim Hassel, who makes 2254 02:21:27,560 --> 02:21:31,280 Speaker 28: the case that conventional submarines should be incorporated into the 2255 02:21:31,400 --> 02:21:36,400 Speaker 28: US Navy to bring lethality for faster and cheaper with 2256 02:21:36,520 --> 02:21:41,080 Speaker 28: less men service members. And that's certainly one of the 2257 02:21:41,120 --> 02:21:45,359 Speaker 28: policy recommendations that we're putting forth with this administration. 2258 02:21:47,160 --> 02:21:48,600 Speaker 2: We're going to have you on to talk about that. 2259 02:21:48,600 --> 02:21:52,200 Speaker 2: Diesel boat diesel boat, diesel boat submarines and diesel boat 2260 02:21:52,240 --> 02:21:53,440 Speaker 2: skippers will appreciate that. 2261 02:21:53,560 --> 02:21:54,000 Speaker 5: Stand. 2262 02:21:54,320 --> 02:21:55,959 Speaker 2: Thank you so much, look forward to having you back 2263 02:21:56,000 --> 02:21:56,440 Speaker 2: on the show. 2264 02:21:57,160 --> 02:22:01,360 Speaker 9: Thank you again, Steve. Have a great evening. 2265 02:22:01,400 --> 02:22:03,119 Speaker 2: Before we close out today, I got to bring in 2266 02:22:03,879 --> 02:22:08,199 Speaker 2: uh taje.

You're my anchorman here today. 2268 02:22:13,080 --> 02:22:14,120 Speaker 2: What was it about, sir? 2269 02:22:16,760 --> 02:22:18,680 Speaker 15: It was about celebrating the history of the Navy two 2270 02:22:18,760 --> 02:22:22,560 Speaker 15: hundred and fifty years. That's pretty amazing. And then Trump, 2271 02:22:22,600 --> 02:22:27,240 Speaker 15: Trump bringing everything back to life, like just breathing new 2272 02:22:27,400 --> 02:22:31,400 Speaker 15: fresh life into the military.

Whether you're a self starter, you 2275 02:22:39,760 --> 02:22:41,160 Speaker 15: need someone else to give it to you. If you 2276 02:22:41,160 --> 02:22:44,160 Speaker 15: have leadership, the correct leadership and the correct guidance, and 2277 02:22:44,320 --> 02:22:48,320 Speaker 15: you're gonna win. And as we can see in the 2278 02:22:48,360 --> 02:22:52,119 Speaker 15: Red Sea under Biden, there was no freedom of navigation. 2279 02:22:52,200 --> 02:22:54,119 Speaker 15: That the Who the hoot He's owned it. They're they're 2280 02:22:54,680 --> 02:22:58,160 Speaker 15: shooting rockets and missiles and drones at ships all the time. 2281 02:22:58,240 --> 02:23:01,279 Speaker 15: And then Trump came in and within sixty days it's 2282 02:23:01,920 --> 02:23:05,520 Speaker 15: back open for business. And that you know, he signed 2283 02:23:05,560 --> 02:23:07,640 Speaker 15: some kind of agreement with the WHO He's Basically they 2284 02:23:07,680 --> 02:23:15,360 Speaker 15: capitulated and shut down their piracy operations. And in the 2285 02:23:15,520 --> 02:23:19,879 Speaker 15: incredible thing is this recruiting numbers are the highest ever 2286 02:23:20,040 --> 02:23:23,160 Speaker 15: for the US Navy. So the leadership and guidance and 2287 02:23:23,240 --> 02:23:26,480 Speaker 15: there to Trump and then he just motivates people wherever 2288 02:23:26,520 --> 02:23:28,560 Speaker 15: he goes. Like I was watching a video of him 2289 02:23:28,560 --> 02:23:30,560 Speaker 15: flying in with their Force ones with F thirty five 2290 02:23:30,600 --> 02:23:33,920 Speaker 15: is flying next to it. It's crazy. He's he's awesome. 2291 02:23:33,959 --> 02:23:36,120 Speaker 15: He know he but he's done this his whole life. 2292 02:23:36,160 --> 02:23:37,760 Speaker 15: You know, I was watching him as a kid in 2293 02:23:37,800 --> 02:23:40,280 Speaker 15: Hollywood and you know he was in home alone. That 2294 02:23:41,360 --> 02:23:45,440 Speaker 15: what his other TV shows and everything. Trump's amazing. He's 2295 02:23:45,440 --> 02:23:48,160 Speaker 15: a man. He's not perfect. He doesn't do everything right, 2296 02:23:48,600 --> 02:23:53,000 Speaker 15: but he's almost perfect. And he's exactly what America needs, 2297 02:23:53,000 --> 02:23:54,119 Speaker 15: and he's exactly what. 2298 02:23:54,080 --> 02:23:54,800 Speaker 9: The Navy needs. 2299 02:23:54,800 --> 02:23:57,040 Speaker 15: He's breathing new life into the Navy. They're gonna build 2300 02:23:57,120 --> 02:24:00,480 Speaker 15: new ships, they're going to refurbish the old ones, getting 2301 02:24:00,560 --> 02:24:03,400 Speaker 15: new weapons, new armament. They're getting rid of the rid 2302 02:24:03,400 --> 02:24:05,000 Speaker 15: of the woke stuff. So they're going to bring the 2303 02:24:05,200 --> 02:24:08,360 Speaker 15: lethality back into our fighting force. And they're getting the 2304 02:24:08,400 --> 02:24:10,640 Speaker 15: most important thing is they're getting rid of DEI. So 2305 02:24:10,760 --> 02:24:13,080 Speaker 15: everything is gonna be merit based. So we're gonna have 2306 02:24:13,120 --> 02:24:17,440 Speaker 15: the best fighting force with the best training, the best equipment, 2307 02:24:17,760 --> 02:24:20,360 Speaker 15: and we're going to be respected and feared around the world. 2308 02:24:20,480 --> 02:24:23,840 Speaker 15: That's that's what our military is there for. Like they 2309 02:24:23,840 --> 02:24:28,959 Speaker 15: guy stand with saying it's about deterrence. Nobody respects an 2310 02:24:29,000 --> 02:24:32,400 Speaker 15: adversary that it's like, you know, half assi, it doesn't 2311 02:24:32,400 --> 02:24:35,800 Speaker 15: bring their A game to the table. So under Trump, 2312 02:24:35,840 --> 02:24:38,640 Speaker 15: he's breathing new life into our military, and our military 2313 02:24:38,680 --> 02:24:39,520 Speaker 15: is bringing back. 2314 02:24:39,400 --> 02:24:40,040 Speaker 26: The A game. 2315 02:24:40,440 --> 02:24:43,680 Speaker 15: We're gonna have the best people, the best training, the 2316 02:24:43,680 --> 02:24:46,520 Speaker 15: best equipment, and nobody's gonna want to mess with us. 2317 02:24:46,800 --> 02:24:49,720 Speaker 15: That's that's deterrence. That's what the military is for. And 2318 02:24:49,760 --> 02:24:53,199 Speaker 15: then the other thing is he said we're gonna start 2319 02:24:53,200 --> 02:24:56,240 Speaker 15: winning again. Like World War One, World War two, we 2320 02:24:56,360 --> 02:24:59,600 Speaker 15: won flat out period, full surrender. Right, that's what it's about. 2321 02:25:01,000 --> 02:25:04,400 Speaker 15: And peace through strengths, So I don't need If we 2322 02:25:04,440 --> 02:25:07,640 Speaker 15: don't need to do that, then yeah, that's what the 2323 02:25:07,640 --> 02:25:09,840 Speaker 15: deterrence is. But if we go to war, we have 2324 02:25:09,920 --> 02:25:14,040 Speaker 15: to win. When when win, none of that nation building 2325 02:25:14,520 --> 02:25:17,320 Speaker 15: and occupying like we're talking about yesterday Venezuela. If we 2326 02:25:17,360 --> 02:25:20,200 Speaker 15: take these boards, that's easy, but we always get bogged 2327 02:25:20,200 --> 02:25:22,240 Speaker 15: down when we do this nation building thing. When we 2328 02:25:22,360 --> 02:25:26,680 Speaker 15: occupy these countries for a decade or more and everything 2329 02:25:26,720 --> 02:25:27,840 Speaker 15: gets screwed up. 2330 02:25:28,160 --> 02:25:29,880 Speaker 2: You go in and win and leave. 2331 02:25:30,040 --> 02:25:30,800 Speaker 15: And that's how you do. 2332 02:25:30,760 --> 02:25:35,640 Speaker 2: It, frocity and precision. As Pete Hexas said the other day, 2333 02:25:35,640 --> 02:25:37,680 Speaker 2: I want to tell people also this thing about people 2334 02:25:37,720 --> 02:25:39,520 Speaker 2: come a peace through strain and peace through straint will 2335 02:25:39,520 --> 02:25:42,560 Speaker 2: look a lot of people just think that means building 2336 02:25:42,600 --> 02:25:45,039 Speaker 2: more arms, having a bigger defense budget, bar and more 2337 02:25:45,080 --> 02:25:48,440 Speaker 2: weapons systems. We saw into Biden and all that spending money. 2338 02:25:48,600 --> 02:25:51,520 Speaker 2: They don't fear you. They don't fear your lethality. And 2339 02:25:51,560 --> 02:25:53,200 Speaker 2: if you don't, if they don't fear that you've got 2340 02:25:53,200 --> 02:25:57,160 Speaker 2: the political will to use it and to take guys 2341 02:25:57,200 --> 02:26:00,480 Speaker 2: down into win, then you're not. There's no peace to strength. 2342 02:26:00,480 --> 02:26:03,920 Speaker 2: Peace too. Strangths means people fear you, and they know 2343 02:26:04,000 --> 02:26:06,760 Speaker 2: that if you're pushed when you bring it. It's like 2344 02:26:06,800 --> 02:26:12,040 Speaker 2: the total obliteration that ended the Twelve Day War. President 2345 02:26:12,040 --> 02:26:15,039 Speaker 2: Trump hit and hit hard and moved on, and the 2346 02:26:15,200 --> 02:26:17,800 Speaker 2: Iranians have kind of never recovered of that. And quite frankly, 2347 02:26:17,840 --> 02:26:21,560 Speaker 2: that was a central building block to what President Trump's 2348 02:26:21,560 --> 02:26:24,320 Speaker 2: gonna face when he gets back. Remember President Trump's leaving 2349 02:26:24,320 --> 02:26:26,040 Speaker 2: here is now going to go back. He gave him 2350 02:26:26,040 --> 02:26:28,560 Speaker 2: a six o'clock deadline. I think they've moved that because 2351 02:26:28,600 --> 02:26:32,640 Speaker 2: of his negotiators, Jared Kushner and Whitcoffer now at the 2352 02:26:32,680 --> 02:26:35,280 Speaker 2: resort town in Eachypt on the Red Sea to start 2353 02:26:35,320 --> 02:26:37,480 Speaker 2: the negotiations, kind of wind this thing up. But you 2354 02:26:37,520 --> 02:26:40,560 Speaker 2: can tell for reports coming out today in Axios, in 2355 02:26:41,080 --> 02:26:43,760 Speaker 2: the Washington Post, New York Times, president Trump's not kidding, 2356 02:26:43,760 --> 02:26:46,400 Speaker 2: writing what's put this deal together? And he's gonna hammer. 2357 02:26:46,440 --> 02:26:50,560 Speaker 2: He's gonna hammer some people bang heads to make it happen. 2358 02:26:50,920 --> 02:26:52,800 Speaker 2: One thing I did notice today. I want to tell 2359 02:26:52,840 --> 02:26:54,959 Speaker 2: the audience.
