00:00The press has been very good lately, except for one rumor that they spread.
00:05I did about eight press conferences in a row, day after day after day.
00:09Then I missed one because I was in the Oval Office.
00:12And I also went out to a club because I had meetings at a club.
00:17And they saw that I was there.
00:18And the rumor started spreading this horrible rumor that Trump is no longer with us.
00:25And they said, I got to the club, sir, are you OK?
00:29Are you OK?
00:30The fake news was at it again.
00:33But because I missed one day of press conferences, so today I gave them about a three hour press
00:39conferences on changing the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War.
00:49Because you know, we won World War I, World War II, everything in between and everything
00:55in front of it.
00:55It was called Department of War.
00:57And then we went woke after the Second World War incredible victory.
01:02And we said, let's change it to defense.
01:05And look, war means something.
01:07It means we're not going to have any problems.
01:09We don't want problems with people.
01:11And I've kept us out of wars.
01:13I've solved wars.
01:14But the way you solve wars is through strength.
01:18And that's what we are.
01:19We make the best equipment in the world.
01:21We have the best soldiers.
01:22We have the most powerful military anywhere in the world.
01:25We rebuilt it in my first term.
01:28As you know, we rebuilt it in our first term.
01:31And we have the greatest military.
01:33We gave some away to Afghanistan, which was not exactly good.
01:36That was the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
01:39The Biden.
01:41That day in Afghanistan was the most embarrassing day in the history of our country.
01:45And they kept military equipment.
01:47But fortunately, it's a very small percentage compared to what it was.
01:50But the fact that they could keep any.
01:52But I just want to thank you all.
01:53You've been unbelievable.
01:54I'll be with you for the rest of my life.
01:56I will be with you.
01:57And you're going to be with me and with leadership.
02:00Mike, I want to thank you for being a great speaker.
02:02You've been really outstanding.
02:04And working with you has been an honor.
02:06And thank you.
02:07And congratulations on being number one.
02:09This is historic because you're number one here.
02:12And this little circle, this little beautiful grouping of some of the finest stone in the world,
02:18this is, I think, going to go down as a very important place over the period of time
02:23for news conferences, for celebrations, for dinners.
02:27And we're going to bring people together here.
02:29We're going to bring maybe some of the Democrats.
02:31We'll say the Democrats are invited.
02:33Now, we'll do that for about a week or two.
02:35And then we'll find out, well, it just doesn't work, perhaps.
02:38And keep them the hell out of here.
02:40We'll say you're going to have to win the White House to get here.
02:43But maybe it will work.
02:44You never know.
02:45We're going to give it a shot.
02:46We're going to let Democrats come.
02:47And we're going to let Republicans come.
02:49And you're going to mingle.
02:50You know, in the old days, Republicans and Democrats got together.
02:54And they'd go out to dinner.
02:55And then they'd fight a little bit during the day.
02:57And a lot of times they'd get 20 percent, 30 percent of one of the others vote.
03:02And today that doesn't happen.
03:04It's solid blocks one way or the other.
03:05And probably that shouldn't be.
03:07But we'll see what happens.
03:09I just want to thank you all.
03:10You've been unbelievable.
03:11You're warriors.
03:12And we're going to make America so great, so much better than anybody ever thought.
03:16We're going to make America great again, but much, much better than anybody ever envisioned.
03:21Thank you all for being with us.
03:23A great honor.
