00:00I think you're linking it. The operation is over. Epic Fury is a president notified Congress. We're
00:05done with that stage of it. Okay. We're now onto this project of freedom. This is not an offensive
00:10operation. This is a defensive operation. And what that means is very simple. There's no shooting
00:15unless we're shot at first. Okay. We're not attacking them. We're not, but if they're attacking
00:19us or they're attacking a ship, you need to respond to that. You're not going to let some
00:23fast boat come up on the ship and shoot it up. We're going to respond to it. But the goal
00:28here
00:28is pretty simple. Establish a zone of transit that is protected by a bubble, the United
00:33States, both naval and air assets, and then allow ships who want to move to move through
00:37there and get to market to begin to increase confidence in the ability to do so. That doesn't
00:42happen in 12 hours. It takes time to set up that bubble and gain that confidence. But
00:46that's the goal.
