00:00And what about the rescue that took place yesterday? What about that?
00:06And something that you rarely see, you know, they were giving me a briefing about that.
00:11And they said normally when you're in very hostile territory, and I don't think it gets
00:16much more hostile than Iran, they're capable fighters. They're very tough people. And there
00:22are others like that. You don't mind when the enemy is weak, but that enemy is strong.
00:26Not so strong like they were about a month ago. I can tell you, in fact, right now, they're
00:31not too strong at all, in my opinion, but we're soon going to find out, aren't we?
00:35But when a thing like that happens where a pilot shot down, in most instances, you're really
00:41not able to go in because you'll go in with 200 people and lots of jet fighters and helicopters.
00:48And you really don't have a chance that you get shot down. You lose 200 in order to pick
00:54up one. It's a horrible thing, but it's very rare that you can do it. And what we did
00:58yesterday is we picked up not one, we picked up two. We kept the first one quiet. And we
01:04were able to keep it quiet for about a day, which made it a lot better. But those two pilots
01:09were incredible, brave, and we thank them. And we're going to be having a news conference
01:13today at one o'clock at the Oval Office. And we look forward to it. But I just want to
01:18say we have a great military. We're the greatest military, the most powerful military any
01:22place in the world.
