00:00I think you're linking it. The operation is over. Epic Fury is a president, notified Congress. We're done with that
00:06stage of it. Okay, we're now on to this project of freedom. This is not an offensive operation. This is
00:11a defensive operation. And what that means is very simple. There's no shooting unless we're shot at first. Okay, we're
00:17not attacking them. We're not. But if they're attacking us or they're attacking a ship, you need to respond to
00:22that. You're not going to let some fast boat come up on the ship and shoot it up. We're going
00:27to respond to it. But the goal here is pretty simple.
00:29Establish a zone of transit that is protected by a bubble, the United States, both naval and air assets. And
00:35then allow ships who want to move to move through there and get to market to begin to increase confidence
00:40in the ability to do so. That doesn't happen in 12 hours. It takes time to set up that bubble
00:44and gain that confidence. But that's the goal.
