00:00Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage the United States Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth.
00:30Come again now, baby, like a dragon king, you tell it's me by the clamber now, baby, I'd like to clap the strings, now I've been smoking for so long, you know I'm here to say, got you in a stranglehold, baby, you've best been out of the way.
00:53My goodness. Well, good afternoon. How are we doing, sailors?
01:10The absolute best of America. I'm honored to be at the world's largest naval base. Now, I'm the only thing between you, the First Lady, and the Commander-in-Chief, so I'm going to keep this very brief.
01:21Looking out at all of you, I know, you know why the President always says, we have the strongest, most powerful, most lethal, most ready military on the planet, and he's going to make sure we keep it that way.
01:36This is the perfect way to mark 250 years of the United States Navy. You know, President Trump has made our mission clear, America first, and peace through strength, with common sense at every turn.
01:51At the War Department, that is, the War Department, we're committed to that core mission of peace through strength. And for the Navy, that means more sailors, more subs, more ships, and more munitions for all of them.
02:05The Navy, the Navy, the Navy, and the Marine Corps embody the resilience of our country. Nobody, nobody in the world does it better than the United States Navy.
02:15Always remember this.
02:21Fact.
02:24You are not civilians, you are different. Sailors, SEALs, Marines, you were set apart for a distinct purpose.
02:32Your diversity is not your strength. Your strength is your unity of purpose, your shared mission, your love of country.
02:45Generation after generation, battle after battle, ship after ship, sailor after sailor, you have set the tone.
02:52The story began with John Paul Jones when he declared, I have not yet begun to fight.
03:00Today, we have a Commander-in-Chief who fights for all of you and fights for our country every single day.
03:08A Commander-in-Chief who guarantees that you, the warfighters, have everything you need on the high seas to deter our enemies and, if necessary, win overwhelmingly.
03:22We have a President who appreciates your dedication. He appreciates your service, your sacrifice, and that of your family as well.
03:29And as I always tell every service member, every sailor I see, he has your back.
03:37So, warfighters, on behalf of everyone at the Department of War, thank you.
03:42Thank you for your commitment to America's Navy. You stand the watch 250 years later.
03:49God bless you. And may God bless our great Republic. Godspeed.
