00:01We won the First World War, we won the Second World War, we won everything before that and
00:06in between, and then we decided to go WOK and we changed the name to Department of Defense,
00:11so we're going Department of War.
00:13We beat the British, French, Mexicans, Germans twice, and the Japanese.
00:17Then we changed the name to Defense and fought to ties like soccer for the next 75 years.
00:23In the Cold War, we played D. Now, we have to bring back what worked.
00:28We're going back on offense.
00:30This name change is not just about renaming, it's about restoring.
00:36Words matter.
00:37It's restoring, as you've guided us to, Mr. President, restoring the warrior ethos,
00:42restoring victory and clarity as an end state, restoring intentionality to the use of force.
00:49The War Department is going to fight decisively, not endless conflicts.
00:54This War Department, Mr. President, just like America, is back.
00:59It couldn't come at a better time.
01:00The Chinese military parade was a wake-up call.
01:0360-foot submarine drones, hypersonic missiles, robot jets that can intercept airstrikes.
01:10Putin, Kim, and Modi even got a look at China's 600 nuclear warheads.
01:15Modi used to be our boy, but Trump said he went to the dark side.
01:19Putin's fault was that, the soggy rose garden.
01:23I've been very disappointed that India would be buying so much oil, as you know, from Russia.
01:30I get along very well with Modi, as you know, he's great.
01:34He was here a couple of months ago.
01:36In fact, we went to the rose garden, and it was, the grass was so soaking wet, it was so, such a terrible place to have a news conference.
01:46I said, well, let's use a beautiful white stone, emblematic of the White House.
01:51Trump built a White House patio just for India.
01:54Modi had soggy loafers and bolted for Beijing.
01:57Can't have that happening.
01:59No one's taking us seriously with sinkholes at the White House and drag queens in camo.
02:04Next dignitary that steps foot at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Trump has a surprise, an American flag bigger than the Empire State Building.
02:13Yeah, Trump wants the flag to be 776 feet wide and 1,492 feet long in recognition of America's birthday.
02:23But before they see our flag, they'll hear our war secretary.
02:30The military has been testing out the hardware just to make sure it's not rusty.
02:45Remember China, put on a nice military parade, but they're not bad at all.
03:15That'll test it.
03:16The Chinese haven't fought a war since 1979.
03:19They're wet behind the ears.
03:21And American technology is two decades ahead.
03:24The Department of War sends a message.
03:26I think it sends a message of victory.
03:29I think it sends a mess, really a message of strength.
03:34We're very strong.
03:35We're much stronger than anyone would really understand.
03:37The name also reminds the country what the mission is.
03:40It's not DEI or nation building or padding invoices with $70,000 toilets in Iraq.
03:46It's about war, not fighting war, winning war.
03:51It's a vibe shift.
03:52We're establishing deterrence so that when the enemy sees an American, they don't, they
03:58don't want to f**k with us because they know they'll get the business end of the best warrior
04:04on the planet.
04:06We're reestablishing that whether it's midnight hammer or freedom of navigation or narco traffickers
04:13that are poisoning the American people.
04:14Whether it's blowing up the Houthis, the Iranian nuke mountain, or the cocaine speedboats
04:19on the high seas, America's enemies see there's a price to pay.
04:23When I see boats coming in like loaded up the other day with all sorts of drugs, probably
04:29fentanyl mostly, but all sorts of drugs, we're going to take them out.
04:33And if people want to have fun going on the high seas or the low seas, they're going to
04:39be in trouble.
04:40I think anybody that saw that is going to say, I'll take a pass.
04:43I don't even know about fishermen.
04:44They may say, I'm not getting on the boat.
04:46I'm not going to take a chance.
04:48Maduro in Venezuela tried to counter by buzzing a naval vessel.
04:52So the war department scrambled 10 F-35 fighter jets to Puerto Rico.
04:57And I guarantee the rest of Maduro's air force stays grounded.
05:01We don't fly F-35s casually.
05:04They're the same fighter jets we use for Operation Midnight Hammer.
05:08And they cost 100 mil a piece.
05:10This isn't a drill.
05:11We have eight U.S. Navy destroyers and 10 F-35s in the Caribbean.
05:16We haven't flexed that hard in the neighborhood since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
05:20But Panikins are worried.
05:22They're worried about what the cartels, not what they're going to do to us.
05:27They're worried about what we might do to the cartels.
05:30They're nervous about manifest destiny.
05:33What he's reaching for, Chris, is an idea of the country that was at the heart of the Spanish-American War.
05:41The idea of the country that led to Guam and Puerto Rico being territories.
05:45The idea of the country that intervention in Cuba, that had us intervene in Haiti.
05:49We can go down the line.
05:51American imperialism, an empire of right.
05:53So you describe the country, you describe the Department of Defense as a Department of War because you're describing your intention, your wish.
06:02We're colonizing Latin America.
06:03It's not strategic.
06:05Taking Greenland, that's strategic.
06:07I mean, we're protecting Greenland.
06:10We've been stuck in endless wars against Muslims and let the Chinese and narco terrorists sneak up and pump our cities full of poison.
06:17And now it's time to make them react to us.
06:21And we couldn't do it without the men and women in uniform who are answering the call and enlisting like we are at war.
06:28And for the first time in a long time, the country has your back.
06:32I'm here with a message from the president of the United States, which I always deliver to troops when I'm traveling.
06:39He has your back.
06:42As a commander in chief, he will ensure that you have everything you need to win, everything you need to be successful.
06:49We're going to make sure that your hands aren't tied behind your back as you bring violence on the enemy.
