Other presidents may have lacked the courage or whatever to defend America, but I will never allow terrorists and criminals to operate with impunity against the United States. Pete Hag has done a fantastic job. He's really been very inspiring in so many ways.

We have had record people wanting to join our military since I announced Pete. He's young, he's smart, he's strong, he loves it. We need the nation to raise their right hand and say, "Send me.

I'll serve something greater than myself, God, and country. I'll swear an oath, something timeless, constitutional that doesn't bend, and doesn't break, and that we swear that oath duty to defend." In just two short years, under the leadership of President Trump, we have restored the Department of War to its core function. Warfight, ended the weird and the woke, and elevated patriots and strength.

We will stand, we will fight, and we will defend this republic. And I thank Almighty God for producing such men, such women, and such Americans for a moment such as this.
