00:00Under the direction of a Secretary of War operating within a Department of War.

00:05Today, with this executive order, you will authorize the current Secretary of Defense

00:10and the current Department of Defense to once again embrace this great lineage

00:15and once again be named the Secretary of War and the Department of War.

00:21So this is something we thought long and hard about.

00:25We've been talking about it for months, Pete and I, and Dan.

00:28Dan came into the fall.

00:31By the way, a great general.

00:32He headed up the, I wouldn't call it an attack.

00:36I'd almost call that one maybe even more than an attack.

00:40What he did with Iran, you saw the success of that operation.

00:44It was perfect.

00:45In fact, we have, this was sent to me by the great company that makes that particular B-2 bomber.

00:52And it was flawless.

00:53It was actually flawless.

00:54They flew for 37 hours back and forth, and there wasn't a bolt that was out of condition.

01:00There wasn't an engine failure.

01:02There was no problem.

01:03It was a perfect attack, and it knocked out any possible nuclear capability for Iran,

01:10which nobody wanted to see and we weren't going to put up with.

01:13So, great job, Dan.

01:16And we've been talking about this Department of War.

01:19So we won the First World War.

01:21We won the Second World War.

01:23We won everything before that and in between.

01:26And then we decided to go woke, and we changed the name to Department of Defense.

01:29So we're going Department of War, and I'd like to ask our Secretary of War to say a few words.

01:38Pete Heckson, I think it's a much more appropriate name, especially in light of where the world is right now.

01:45We have the strongest military in the world.

01:47We have the greatest equipment in the world.

01:49We have the greatest manufacturers of equipment by far.

01:52There's nobody to even compete.

01:53And you see that with this and so many other things.

01:58The patriots are the best.

01:59Every element of the military, we make the best by far.

02:03So, Pete, I'd like to ask you and maybe Dan Raising Cain to say a few words, please.

02:09Mr. President, thank you.

02:11After winning a war for independence in 1789, George Washington established the War Department.

02:18And Henry Knox was his first Secretary of War.

02:21And this country won every major war after that, to include World War I and World War II.

02:27Total victory, Mr. President, as you said.

02:29Then 150 years after that, we changed the name after World War II from the Department of War to the Department of Defense in 1947.

02:38And as you pointed out, Mr. President, we haven't won a major war since.

02:42And that's not to disparage our war fighters, whether it's the Korean War or the Vietnam War or our generation of Iraq and Afghanistan.

02:49That's to recognize that this name change is not just about renaming.

02:54It's about restoring.

02:56Words matter.

02:57It's restoring, as you've guided us to, Mr. President, restoring the warrior ethos.

03:02Restoring victory and clarity as an end state.

03:06Restoring intentionality to the use of force.

03:10So, at your direction, Mr. President, the War Department is going to fight decisively, not endless conflicts.

03:17It's going to fight to win, not not to lose.

03:21We're going to go on offense, not just on defense.

03:24Maximum lethality, not tepid legality.

03:28Violent effect, not politically correct.

03:32We're going to raise up warriors, not just defenders.

03:35So, this War Department, Mr. President, just like America, is back.

03:39Thank you for your leadership and your clarity.

03:42We're going to set the tone for this country.

03:45America first, peace through strength, brought to you by the War Department.

03:50We're back.

03:50Thank you very much.

03:51Very well stated.

03:52And really, it has to do with winning.

03:55We should have won every war.

03:56We could have won every war, but we really chose to be very politically correct or wokey.

04:04And we just fight forever.

04:07And then we, you know, win.

04:10We wouldn't lose, really.

04:11We just fight to sort of tie.

04:13We never wanted to win wars that every one of them we would have won easily with just a couple of little changes or a couple of little edicts.

04:22You know, I was told that ISIS would take five years to win.

04:26And Dan Cain, when I told him how long would it take, he said, I think about four weeks, sir.

04:32I said, what do you mean four weeks?

04:33I was told five years by the people in Washington.

04:36You know who they were?

04:38Five years.

04:38I said, you can't do it in four weeks.

04:40I actually flew to Iraq to meet with him.

04:44And I met him at a big air base.

04:45And remember that famous day, right?

04:47It turned out to be a famous day for our country because you're now the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which is the biggest deal.

04:54And he is because he did things that everybody said he couldn't do.

04:59So they said it was going to be five years.

05:00And he knocked him out in about four weeks total, 100 percent.

05:05We took over.

05:06And ISIS was gone.

05:08And pretty amazing.

05:10But we never fought to win.

05:12And now we, if we have to fight it all, you know, we solved seven wars.

05:17We have the one that I thought was going to be probably one of the easier ones.

05:20And that's with President Putin and Ukraine.

05:24And that turned out to be one that's a little bit more difficult.

05:27But the seven are done.

05:29They were supposed to be much more difficult to solve.

05:31I solved every one of them.

05:33And we're going to get the other one done, too.

05:34But it turned out to be a little bit more difficult than I thought.

05:38And it'll get done or they'll be held to pay.

05:41But because they're losing six to seven.

05:43It used to be five.

05:44I used to tell you five.

05:45Now it's almost seven.

05:47I guess 7,000 people last week.

05:507,813 people, young soldiers died.

05:55Russian and Ukrainian, not American soldiers.

05:57But it's a shame.

05:58It's just, you know, they're human lives.

06:01And I want to see it stop.

06:02But General Cain's done a fantastic job.

06:06And, again, defeated ISIS, which they said would take a long time.

06:11And it didn't take a long time at all.

06:13And did other things that people said really couldn't happen.

06:16We have the greatest equipment in the world.

06:18We have the greatest soldiers in the world.

06:21Dan, say a few words, please.

06:22Yes, sir.

06:23Thank you, Mr. President.

06:24It's a true honor for me today to represent the incredible men and women of America's joint force.

06:33Today and every day, the 2.8 million service men and women stand ready to fulfill our sacred duty to protect America at home and abroad.

06:45As the President said, America's military is the single most powerful fighting force in the world.

06:51The mission you and the Secretary have given us is clear and unambiguous to deliver peace through overwhelming strength.

07:00And I remind everyone that the U.S. military can reach any adversary at the time and place of our choosing.

07:08Service to this nation is an incredible gift, and we're grateful and honored every day to do so.

07:15Thank you, Mr. President.

07:16Thank you, and it's an honor to sign this.

07:19And we will do that right now.

07:30I think that's a big one.

07:31I'll be honest.

07:38That's a big one.
