Philadelphia, 1775, 250 years ago. A new nation was born and with it, a navy. A navy forged in the fight for independence, built from a handful of ships and the determination of a people who refused to be denied their freedom. From John Paul Jones defiant words "I have not yet begun to fight" to David Farragut's legendary command, damned the torpedoes, full speed ahead. Our sailors have met every challenge with courage and resolve. At Midway, they turned the tide of a world war. At Leyte Gulf, they fought the largest naval battle in history. In the waters off Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, and beyond, our navy has carried America's resolve to every sea. Through those battles that shaped the course of history, the United States Navy has stood watch. We've sailed to the farthest corners of the globe, defended liberty in times of peace and war, and written our story in courage, sacrifice, and victory. Today the navy remains the shield of our nation, the foundry where sailors are forged, the fleet that stands ready on every horizon, and the fight with our promise that a challenge America will win. From wooden sailing ships to nuclear powered carriers, from signal flags to satellites, from cannon fire to precision weapons, for two and a half centuries we've led the way in innovation, transforming the seas into a domain of unmatched power. We are the world's most advanced, most lethal, and most ready maritime force, a global navy that deters aggression, protects trade, strengthens alliances, and brings relief in times of crisis. But at the heart of it all are the sailors, men and women from every walk of life who proudly wear the cloth of our nation. Sailors who stand the watch tonight, just as others have since 1775, ensuring that America's promise endures. Two hundred and fifty years of honor, courage, and commitment, two hundred and fifty years of foundry, fleet, and fighting, and we're just getting started. Happy 250th birthday, United States Navy.

In their memory we make a solemn pledge and a noble promise we will honor always our great heroes and you are our heroes. There's a group of people that don't want to talk about our heroes but we will always talk about our heroes and that's the way our country is and that's the way the people feel. We will defend the nation they served the values they upheld and the freedom for which they died. We will support our troops we will protect our families and we will preserve the American way of life for every future generation. We will build taller grow stronger fight harder and soar higher and together we will go forward as one people with one heart one fate one flag and one glorious destiny under almighty God.

Every Purple Heart tells a story of courage, sacrifice, and purpose. It speaks of a price paid for the soldier beside you, the country behind you, and the generations of Americans yet to come. Going to the Army at 18, you know, left, ended up in Iraq where I lost my leg. My name is Gerald Enter. I have three Purple Hearts. I served with the 1st Infantry Division in Vietnam in between '67 and '68. I got my Purple Heart in March of '68. Wounded on the 25th of February, 1991 in the Albogonoa field, Operation Desert Storm. I have earned two Purple Hearts in my career. Was recipient of the Purple Heart on or about, actually December the 14th, 1970. It was not a good day for me or a lot of other folks that day. I'm the sister of Captain Lance Peterson, who was a Medal of Honor recipient for his actions in the Vietnam War. I was wounded 29 years ago in Saudi Arabia at the bombing of Cobar Towers. I was wounded on the 30th of May, 2004 in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia. Almost 2 million people have earned this award and over 430,000 gave their lives. And I so appreciate what the President is doing. Those who wear this medal ran into bullets, faced ferocious bombs, and shed their blood on the field of battle. We will never forget what they did. We will always use them as an example of bravery and courage and strength. Now signed the proclamation officially declaring this as National Purple Heart Day. Very special day. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. Thank you.

This is also National Purple Heart Day and we're here to honor and celebrate the unyielding patriotism and grit and devotion to America's Purple Heart veterans' great emotion and great love. The Purple Heart dates back to August 7, 1782. That's a long time when General George Washington awarded a heart-shaped purple cloth to three soldiers for outstanding gallantry and service in battle. This afternoon we're joined by dozens of Purple Heart recipients and their families and just as General Washington did 243 years ago, today we give our everlasting thanks to you and your unbelievable families. We want to thank you very much for being here. It's my great honor.

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, accompanied by head coach Todd Golden. [MUSIC] >> That's a big crowd. That's really, really nice. I just met you, coach. Now I see why you won. >> [LAUGH] >> But they had to put out, too. >> Wow, you're a tall guy, he's a good-looking guy, isn't he? Congratulations, fantastic job. That's not easy, right, coach? Today we're delighted to welcome the 2025 NCAA basketball champions, the University of Florida Gators. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Hello, Tim. Congratulations also to a really great young head coach, Todd Golden on the entire job he did, the season, the inspiration that he gave these players. He's unbelievable as a coach. I heard a lot of great things about him. Who would I like to be his agent? >> [LAUGH] >> Don't go anywhere, coach, stay, stay, coach. You can't leave with less than 60 seconds left on the clock. Houston led by one point. Did you think you were gonna win? >> I did. >> [LAUGH] >> That's what he gets paid for. >> [APPLAUSE] >> That's good. Houston then fouled Elijah Martin. Okay, where's Elijah? >> [APPLAUSE] >> Giving him two free throws, which he easily sank. Were you nervous? I always think, here's a guy, he's gotta sink, it's not that easy. I can name a couple of very big players that didn't do too well in that circumstance. Were you nervous when you were- >> No. >> [LAUGH] >> That's pretty good. He sank them both, coach, right? If you didn't sink him, you wouldn't be up here right now. >> [LAUGH] >> And nobody would ever call you again. That's great. That's a lot of pressure. >> President, thank you so much. And to show a token of our appreciation, we have an autographed team basketball. And a Donald Trump jersey with number 47 on it, all right? >> [APPLAUSE] >> To honor your 47th term as President of the United States of America. >> Thank you very much, that's beautiful, thank you. >> Thank you all very much, go Gators. >> [APPLAUSE] >> I'm not sure they'll want to. I think the most exciting room anywhere in the world is called the Oval Office. And I'm gonna invite the coach and the team down to the Oval Office. I might even ask our great representatives, senators, Marco, everybody to come down with him. And we'll take some pictures in the Oval Office. And I have a special little coin for them, a really nice coin. I hope they never lose it, cuz if they do, it's a lot of money, that coin. >> [LAUGH] >> But so let's see, do you wanna go to the Oval Office? >> Yes, sir. >> [LAUGH] >> I thought they were gonna say that. Thank you all very much, great team, great, great everything, thank you. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Fantastic, thank you very much.

Today, it's my honor to officially sign the Take It Down Act into law. It's a big thing, very important, so horrible, what takes place. This will be the first ever federal law to combat the distribution of explicit imaginary posted without subject's consent, take horrible pictures, and I guess sometimes even make up the pictures, and they post it without consent or anything else. And very importantly, this includes for forgeries generated by artificial intelligence known as deepfakes. We've all heard about deepfakes. I have them all the time, but nobody does anything. I asked Pam, can you help me, Pam? She says, no, I'm too busy, too busy doing other things. Don't worry, you'll survive, but a lot of people don't survive. That's true and so horrible. With the rise of AI image generation, countless women have been harassed with deepfakes and other explicit images distributed against their will. This is the wrong, and it's just so horribly wrong. And it's a very abusive situation, like in some cases people have never seen before. And today we're making it totally illegal.

Good afternoon, and welcome to the White House. It's honored to join you here today for the signing of the Take a Down Act, a national victory that will help parents and families protect children from online exploitation. This legislation is a powerful step forward in our efforts to ensure that every American, especially young people, can feel better protected from their image or identity being abused through nonconsensual intimate imagery of I and CII. Artificial intelligence and social media are the digital candy for the next generation. Sweet, addictive, and engineered to have an impact on the cognitive development of our children. But unlike sugar, these new technologies can be weaponized, shaped beliefs, and sadly, affect emotions, and even be deadly. Over the past few months, I have met with brave survivors, deeply loving families, and caring advocates, who know firsthand the emotional and psychological toll of NCII and deepfake abuse. Alison Berry stood boldly for change, despite the risk posed to her and her family by speaking out and making her voice heard. Alison, your voice and the voices of so many like you made this bill a national priority.
