00:00When it comes to the president's directive, he said, Pete, deliver peace through strength, put America first, and apply common
00:05sense.
00:06And we try to do that across our formations as much as humanly possible.
00:10I often ask him, I say, hey, Mr. President, I'm going to go see your troops, this time out in
00:14South Carolina.
00:15I was asking, what do you want me to tell him?
00:18And his answer is always the same. He goes, Pete, tell him I love him.
00:24And he does. And, you know, I'm here with the great Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besson,
00:28along with your great governor here in South Carolina, Governor McMaster.
00:31They both wanted to come along and say hello to the troops as well.
00:34But he can attest to that. Scott can attest to that.
00:36He's in those rooms with me at the same time as the Treasury Secretary, because it's not just what the
00:40military can do.
00:41We've got the most powerful economy in the world as well.
00:43And when you've got a motivated Treasury Secretary who can pull a lot of levers because he knows how to
00:47do it,
00:48he can put a lot of pressure on adversaries.
00:50So I shall give a moment here to the governor and to the secretary.
00:53But first, ladies and gentlemen, give a warm welcome to the secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besson.
00:59Woo!
01:09I can tell you, I am a Scottish Huguenot from South Carolina.
01:13Hi.
