> Sir, tonight we have some special guests in the audience. We have a Gold Star family that is with us tonight. Mary and Charles Strange are here. Where are they? Where are they? Oh, here they are. Sir, they're behind us over here to the left. Oh, come on up here. They lost their son, Michael. Come on up. Come on up here. It's a little harder to get up since I got shot. They've made it more difficult. Perhaps that's the way it's supposed to be. Sir, they lost their son, Michael. President Trump, great to see you again, baby. How you looking? 16-6 on the Gold Star. That's beautiful. Under Obama, all 30 guys down. Did you want to say anything? Under Obama is right. Under Obama. Please, on behalf of your son. I would ask, Mr. President, my son was killed August 6, 2011, with 29 other men. It was the biggest loss of life in Iraq and Afghan war. It was the biggest loss of life in a single day in the history of America. 22 of them men were Navy Special Warfare. Till this day, we still haven't gotten any answers. I was wondering, I'm begging you. We would like a congressional hearing. So here's what we're going to do. In the first week -- let me have it. Not the first day, because I made a lot of promises in the first day. We're going to drill, baby, drill. We're going to close up the border. We're going to do a lot in the first day. In the first week, we will set up a commission. We're going to find out, because so many people in your same position, they want to know what happened. Why did it happen to their son or daughter? And we're going to do that within the first week. So you get ready to come over to the White House, okay? Thank you, Mr. President. I've got to say one more thing. I want to let America know, June 2017, President Trump and his wife had me and my wife bring 20 gold stars to the White House. Him and his wife stayed the whole time. They had food, drinks. They did a candle ceremony for us. President Trump stood up every time, saluted the gold star parents. (Applause.) That was both a celebration, a remembrance. It was -- it had all emotion, right? They were every -- they were happy. They were sad. They were devastated. But they remembered their beautiful boy, right? Yes, their beautiful boy. And we're not going to forget. We're going to find out what happened. We're going to do that within the first week. And you have my word, okay? Thank you, President Trump. (Applause.) Thank you. Mr. President -- What a nice couple. (Applause.)
