Our message to these foreign terrorist organizations is we will treat you like we have treated al-Qaeda. We will find you, we will map your networks, we will hunt you down, and we will kill you. And you've seen that evidence in the maritime domain, whether it's in the Caribbean or in the Pacific with the last two strikes, we know exactly who these people are, we know what networks they work with, what foreign terrorist organizations they're a part of, we know where they're going, where they originated from, what they're carrying. And they know we know. And that will soon start to change the calculus of these boats. So the critique of this is, of course, as often is the case wrong. We know our authorities, it's locked tight, and we're gonna treat 'em like foreign terrorist organizations on the offense. So the Department of War is not gonna degrade or just simply arrest. We're gonna defeat and destroy these terrorist organizations to defend the homeland on behalf of the American people, making the jobs of law enforcement safer in the process, making the communities of Americans safer in the process. We think it's a very core mission of the Department of War, and we're proud to be here, Mr. President. - Thank you very much, Pete.
