in the United States Constitution is its first three beautiful words. They are we the people. Generations of Americans have sacrificed to maintain the promise of those words. The promise of our country and of our great history. In America the people govern, the people rule, and the people are sovereign. I was elected not to take power but to give power to the American people where it belongs. In foreign affairs we are renewing this founding principle of sovereignty. Our government's first duty is to its people, to our citizens, to serve their needs, to ensure their safety, to preserve their rights, and to defend their values. As President of the United States I will always put America first.

President Trump got the 5% last year in the Hague which powers us forward. He said you did it sir, you did it. I don't know of any American president in the modern era who could have made this possible. And what we accomplished last year in the Hague now has to turn into real capabilities. The United States is leading the way and we expect others to follow us and follow our lead. And no other president is going to do what I'm doing. Ultimately the summit for NATO is going to be the first report card after last year's meeting in the Hague. The United States will be here but we also need our allies to be here. We cannot do it alone and the American taxpayer should no longer bear the burden. You're watching history, so buckle up.

You know, I met the head of Somalia, did you know that? And I suggested that maybe he'd like to take her back. He said, "I don't want her." (laughter)

He's got to call him up on foxnews.com. He says that Chief Justice John Roberts has to bring in the FBI here to try to find these leakers. He writes in part, quote, "For the future of the court and the faith of the public, Roberts has to set his reservations aside and bring in the FBI to find the culprit. Most importantly, he has to guarantee total transparency and allowing the public to see the results wherever they may lead." Molly, we've got about 30 seconds left. Final word to you here. Do you agree with Jonathan? If you do not punish people for breaking the norms and the procedures and maybe even the laws that are governing the court here, you're going to see more of that. And the failure to really do a good investigation for the Dobbs leaker, I think we're seeing the fallout right now.

My last job in the Navy was in the SEAL teams. My job was to train and coach SEALs on the West Coast on how to do VBSS, so a little bit of experience with what you guys are doing, and I appreciate, I know that's a very complicated mission set, and I appreciate all the hard work that you guys do. Admiral, I want to ask you if you believe that the President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief, under Article II of the Constitution, has brought executive powers for maritime security. Do you recognize that, sir? Yes, yes, I recognize that. Do you recognize that the President may direct maritime interdictions when enforcing sanctions or national security measures, Admiral? Yes, I do, we follow that. Okay, so one of the things that's concerned me as a former service member myself is a video that was made by Senator Mark Kelly and several other senators who, just a couple months ago, they made a video to tell service members that they don't need to follow unlawful orders. Admiral, are you familiar with this video? I have not seen the video itself. I was following the news story, obviously, and the escalation of the-- It made national news, did it not, Admiral? It did, indeed. Did you or any of the other high-ranking Coast Guard officers that you work with fear that a video like that might undermine your chain of command? From my standpoint, I have found that our service members will follow lawful orders if they, you know, as given. I find it interesting, Admiral, that I didn't see any videos made like that from members of Congress during the Biden administration. I wanna submit an article for the record. This is from CNN. Biden finalizes new rules for U.S. drone strikes. President Joe Biden has signed a long-awaited classified policy tightening the rules for the CIA and Pentagon to carry out deadly drone strikes and commando raids conducted outside of traditional war zones, U.S. officials said on Friday. This was October 7th, 2022. Did you notice that no members of Congress, including Senator Kelly, made any videos during this time, Admiral? - I'm not familiar with that article. - 'Cause you didn't see any videos, did you? I didn't. - Not that I recall, no. - As service members, we tend to follow these types of things, right? - Yes. - Yeah. I found that very interesting that they weren't making videos during that timeframe about whether or not service members follow lawful orders or not. - And I think we all know that, right, Admiral? Don't we get that training and basic training that we're not supposed to follow unlawful orders? - Absolutely. And at all the session sources, that is what we train our personnel. - Yeah, so did you find that video a little bit odd knowing that we all know that? - I find that it's, you know, for me, as I reflect on it, I think it's unnecessary. I think our personnel will know to follow lawful orders and to question unlawful orders. - Yeah, that's what I thought too. Admiral, you guys, Congress delivered for you guys in a pretty big way during the reconciliation package, is that correct? - That is absolutely correct. - We gave you about $25 billion, is that correct? - Yes, generational change for the Coast Guard, Congressman. - And you guys had about seven billion in maintenance backlog for infrastructure, is that correct? - Yes, that's correct. - Do you, how do you see the Coast Guard deploying that money to make sure that the Coast Guard is ready to carry out the nation's national security and homeland security needs in the next couple of years? - We, under Force Design 28, Congressmen, we have reorganized to ensure that the Coast Guard can obligate all of those funds quickly. We're not waiting for the five years that they're available to us. We wanna spend those right away on maintenance, on shore infrastructure, to get after the problems that we have. - Thank you. My last question for you, Admiral, is do you feel in the last couple months with the boat strikes and everything else going on, do you feel like you have given orders to your men to carry out any of these strikes, any of these interdictions that have been deemed unlawful? - The Department of War has had the lead to these kinetic strikes. The Coast Guard has not been involved with them, so I can answer that we have not, I have not felt that way at all.

The administration also lost nearly 300,000 children. Think of that. They lost more than 300,000 children, little children, who were trafficked into the United States on the Biden watch, many of whom have been raped, exploited, and abused, and sold. Sold. Nobody talks about that. The fake news doesn't write about it. With many others, young children, who are missing or dead. And we found a lot of these children, and we're sending them back. And we've been sending them back to their parents. They said, nobody knows who they are. They said, where do you come from? And they'll give us a country, and we'll find out, and we'll figure it out, and we'll bring them back to their homes. And the mother and father rush to the door, and there are tears in their eyes. They can't believe that they're seeing their son or daughter, little son or daughter again. We've done almost 30,000 of them so far. Any system that results in the mass trafficking of children is inherently evil. Yet that is exactly what the globalist migration agenda has done, and it's what it's all about. In America, those days, as you know, are over. The Trump administration is working, and we are continuing to work to track down the villains that are causing this problem. And also, as I said, to get back the 30,000 we've already returned. Now I think we're going to have another. We're going to find a lot. You're not going to find all of them, 300, more than 300,000. They're lost or they're dead. They're lost or they're dead because of the animals that did this.

Epstein. The journal reports that a spa worker from Mar-a-Lago often made house calls to Jeffrey Epstein's home, two miles away. But those house calls "came to a halt" in 2003 after an 18-year-old beautician returned to the club from a house call to Epstein and reported to managers that he had pressured her for sex. The HR manager faxed Trump a letter suggesting that the club ban Epstein, and Trump agreed, which does mirror the president's own public comments about why he cut ties with Epstein. The White House is responding to the Wall Street Journal, writing, "No matter how many times this story is told and retold, the truth remains President Trump did nothing wrong and he kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago for being a creep." He cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein long before Epstein became a convicted sex offender, a lot of Democrats didn't, and it is corroborated by the Wall Street Journal tonight.
