FULL SPEECH: U.S. President Trump Drops Explosive Iran Update During Navy Trophy Ceremony | AC1E

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Hey.

Hey. Hey.

President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

J. Trump.

Thank you very much. Please. Thank you.

I want to begin by just saying we're doing extremely well in Iran. Uh the difference between them

in Iran. Uh the difference between them and us is they had a navy two weeks ago.

They have no navy anymore. It's all at the bottom of the sea. 58 ships knocked down in two days. And we have the greatest navy anywhere in the world.

It's not even close. So, but we are doing really well. We're not going to let them have nuclear weapons because if they had them, they'd use them. And

we're not going to let that happen.

Should have been done a long time ago by other presidents.

So, it's an honor to be here. This is

fun. And these are great athletes standing behind me. Great coaches,

general managers, great people, and a great superintendent. Hello,

great superintendent. Hello, superintendent.

We only put our finest as these superintendents for these great schools because we don't want to have somebody that they don't look up to. We take our

best. and uh and they're really amazing.

best. and uh and they're really amazing.

For the second year in a row, it's my great honor to officially present the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy to the one and only Navy Midshipman football team

with 11 wins and two losses playing the best teams in football. It used to I used to always think of the military service as they played like a little step below. It's not true. They play the

step below. It's not true. They play the big teams and they beat them. These

players achieved one of the most impressive seasons in Navy football history and any football history, frankly. And I just want to congratulate

frankly. And I just want to congratulate the midship and I met him backstage and they're great. Thank you.

they're great. Thank you.

Congratulations.

You know, when I when I mentioned the the Navy that we just destroyed, I said, "Are they good ships?" Yeah, they're great ships. Then I said, "Why didn't we

great ships. Then I said, "Why didn't we save them? we could have used them

save them? we could have used them ourselves. They said the difference was

ourselves. They said the difference was they didn't they didn't know how to use them. Right, General? They didn't know

them. Right, General? They didn't know how to use them. They had no idea. But I

want to recognize uh Navy athletic director Michael Kelly who is uh just done an incredible job. Thank you very

much. Looks like he looks like a Kelly.

much. Looks like he looks like a Kelly.

He's definitely a Kelly along with head coach Brian Newberry. Fantastic coach

Brian.

He's off to the second best start for any football coach in school history.

What's second? Who's first? It's pretty

good. That must have been a Roger Starbeck year maybe or something because because I tell you what, I got to watch Roger Star and he he was he was something. He was like I have to say

something. He was like I have to say I've said it and some people were insulted by it, but it was like a man playing with children. He would he would single-handedly win those games. It was

incredible. Thanks as well to your superintendent, Lieutenant General Michael Borg Schulty, who is an accomplished Navy linebacker, very good

one back in the day. We're also pleased to be joined by Secretary of War Pete Hex. Now, I don't know if he's here

Hex. Now, I don't know if he's here because I actually told him he had an option. Be in the sit room. you know the

option. Be in the sit room. you know the famous situation but be up here and if it's okay I told him but I think he has two very beautiful sons up here to the best Boon and Jackson are you two guys

well I told your father just be in this situation room we're okay with that right I think so right coach coach I think you're okay so Boon and Jackson someday you'll be on this team maybe

right would you be a navy army air force which one take navy just say navy okay I don't want to get them in trouble and your father's is doing a fantastic job

and also the chairman of the joint chiefs of stairs, Dan Kaine. So Dan uh is unbelievable and I picked him for a reason because I was told it would take five years to beat ISIS by our

television generals. You know there's a

television generals. You know there's a big difference between generals just like there is between coaches and everything else. They said sir five

everything else. They said sir five years and I went to Iraq because I didn't understand why five years. And I

met this general and his name was Dan Kaine. I said what's your name? He said,

Kaine. I said what's your name? He said,

"Raisin, sir." I said, "Really? Raisin?"

"What is that?" "Raisin?" "What's just my nickname, sir?" "What's your last name?" Kane. I said, "Your name's Raisin

name?" Kane. I said, "Your name's Raisin Kane. I love you. You're the guy I'm

Kane. I love you. You're the guy I'm looking for." And it turned out to be

looking for." And it turned out to be right. So, they told me it was going to

right. So, they told me it was going to take four to five years to knock out ISIS.

And now I'm in Iraq. I come down, I meet him, some other generals. He was a boss.

Then I said, "How long would it take for you to knock out ISIS?" He said, "Four weeks, sir." I said, "Four weeks. They

weeks, sir." I said, "Four weeks. They

tell me four years, maybe five." He

said, "Well, whatever they want, sir.

They're the boss. I'm just here, but you can do it in four weeks, sir, and you'll have time left over." I said, "You got to be kidding." And he explained, and we went through a whole big thing. I won't

Well, nobody in this room would be bored by it. Actually, you'd like to hear

by it. Actually, you'd like to hear every word. I'll tell you every word of

every word. I'll tell you every word of it. But but bottom line, I I said, "Let

it. But but bottom line, I I said, "Let me go back." But as I'm leaving, uh they actually was very interesting. I'm

walking down the stairs. Long fight.

They had to turn off the lights after spending trillions of dollars. You had

to turn the lights off in the plane because you didn't want to be spotted by the enemy. This was something. So, we

the enemy. This was something. So, we

land and he said, "Sir, would you like to rest for a while before we have a meeting?" I said, "I don't have to rest.

meeting?" I said, "I don't have to rest.

My name is not Biden. I don't want to I'm not resting. And we had great meetings. And then I got back on the

meetings. And then I got back on the plane. I said to him, "So, General, you

plane. I said to him, "So, General, you say four weeks? What you mean that, right? Four weeks, sir, and you'll have

right? Four weeks, sir, and you'll have time left over." Said, "I'll call you on Monday when I get back." And I called him. I said, "You still feel that way,

him. I said, "You still feel that way, General?" He said, "Yes, sir." And uh I

General?" He said, "Yes, sir." And uh I let him do it. He did it in less than four weeks. He defeated ISIS. It was

four weeks. He defeated ISIS. It was

amazing. What a difference. You know, I always say, "What a difference a president makes.

the border. They said it can't be done without Congress. It will take years. We

without Congress. It will take years. We

did it in about three weeks. We have a border that's now nine months in a row.

Nobody's come into our country illegally. I'm not even sure if that

illegally. I'm not even sure if that could be right. But the Democrats keep the stats. So they say, I mean, they

the stats. So they say, I mean, they have zero people came in through our border. You see it right? And uh I said

border. You see it right? And uh I said the president makes a big difference.

Well, the generals make a big difference, too. But I told him, I said,

difference, too. But I told him, I said, "Dan, if you don't mind, stay in the situation room and you watch all those attacks that we're hitting those guys with." And they don't know what's

with." And they don't know what's happening. They Their Navy's gone. Their

happening. They Their Navy's gone. Their

air force is gone. Their anti-aircraft

is all gone. It's all gone. Their radar

is all gone. Their leaders are all gone.

The next set of leaders are all gone.

And the next set of leaders are mostly gone. And now nobody wants to be a

gone. And now nobody wants to be a leader over there anymore. We're having

a hard time. We want to talk to them and there's nobody to talk to. We have

nobody to talk to. And you know what? We

like it that way. And we have many other distinguished members of the United States military. But I want to tell you,

States military. But I want to tell you, Hexath is doing a great job. And Raisin

Kane is doing a great job. As good as anybody's ever seen. Don't forget, we had Venezuela. That was the beginning

had Venezuela. That was the beginning where people started to see the talent.

I built I rebuilt the military and built it frankly, including Space Force. But I

rebuilt the military in my first term. I

didn't think I'd be using it this much, but I'm glad I rebuilt it because we can't let these lunatics have nuclear weapons because they were going to use them. They'd use them fast. One of the

them. They'd use them fast. One of the ways you know that is when this whole thing started, they started shooting missiles all over the Middle East at

countries that were basically not involved because they wanted to take over the Middle East. And if they had a nuclear weapon, they would have used it.

The only question would have been the first hour of the first day. That's the

only question. They would have used it.

And if they can use a nuclear weapon, the world would have been in big trouble. We had to stop. It should have

trouble. We had to stop. It should have been done long ago.

I also want to thank FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, perhaps the most powerful man in this room. You are doing some job. He's trying to keep the fake news.

job. He's trying to keep the fake news.

It's trying to make the fake news real and respect it again, which is not an easy job, but you're doing a really amazing job. First time that's happened

amazing job. First time that's happened in 25 years. So, I congratulate you and everybody in the room. Everybody in this whole country is watching what you're doing, and we appreciate it. When a man

can get elected in a landslide, winning every, think of it, seven swing states, win them all. We win the popular vote. We win the electoral college by

vote. We win the electoral college by tremendous amount. We win the counties

tremendous amount. We win the counties by 82 or 84%.

And I got no good press. Think of it.

Only one thing. That only means one thing. These people are not respected.

thing. These people are not respected.

They're just not respected. And we have to have a press that's respected. When

you when you um when you can win an election where they say that I got 94% bad press,

think of it, the other side got 94% good press. When they can get 94% and you win

press. When they can get 94% and you win in a landslide, that means the press is not respected. People have no confidence

not respected. People have no confidence in. So, you're doing a fantastic job.

in. So, you're doing a fantastic job.

Uh, Senators Todd Young and Dan Sullivan.

Great senators wherever you may be.

You're here someplace. Where are you?

Hello, fellas. Good senators, great guys. And representatives Ronnie

guys. And representatives Ronnie Jackson, White House doctor. He was he served three presidents. He said you had Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of

Barack Hussein Obama? You had Obama. I

didn't want to talk about Biden, but we he said and you had Bush. You had young Bush. I call him young young Bush. I was

Bush. I call him young young Bush. I was

not a fan, but that's all right. But

they asked the press asked him who was the healthiest of the three, Dr. Ronnie.

Stand up, Dr. Ronnie. There's a big deal. Took a lot of heat for this. They

deal. Took a lot of heat for this. They

said, most guys would say, well, we don't want to talk about that. They

said, who's the healthiest of the three?

He said, President Donald J. Trump by

far. If he didn't eat junk food, he'd live to 200 years old. He said, "And I love this guy." And he then left and he ran. He was an admiral and he then left

ran. He was an admiral and he then left and he he was a White House doctor, a very respected one. He saved a lot of lives. He was a great doctor. People

lives. He was a great doctor. People

don't realize that. And he then left and he said, "Sir, I'd like to run for Congress." I said, "You've never done it

Congress." I said, "You've never done it before. You won't be able to pull it

before. You won't be able to pull it off." In a very, very all Trump

off." In a very, very all Trump district. There were 28 people running.

district. There were 28 people running.

Man was retiring who's been there for years. And I said, "Ron, I don't know.

years. And I said, "Ron, I don't know.

It's going to be tough, but we'll try it. Right. And we got we got him in. He

it. Right. And we got we got him in. He

blew him away. There was one man that was favored. He was a rhino. He was

was favored. He was a rhino. He was

favored to win easily and we wiped him out. Right, Ron? And he's been a

out. Right, Ron? And he's been a congressman. He's one of the most

congressman. He's one of the most popular people in Congress. But I don't care about that. I just care that he was my doctor and he said I'm the healthiest human being he's ever Ronnie. Am I

healthier than these guys back here?

Yes, sir.

Okay.

All right. See, this is why I like him.

Also with Ronnie is Derek Vanordon, a fantastic guy and members of the Naval Academyy's board of visitors. Sean

Spicer has gone on to great things and Walt Nuda. Walt, where's Walt? Walt's

Walt Nuda. Walt, where's Walt? Walt's

become a very famous guy. He works with me and he does a great job, great loyal, incredible person. And Sean Spicer,

incredible person. And Sean Spicer, where's Sean? Where's Shon? Great job.

where's Sean? Where's Shon? Great job.

And he's got a very successful television career going. What the hell do I get out of it? Well, you know what?

I get nice statements. That's what I get out of it, right?

Yes, sir. 100%.

It's uh it's great. You've done great.

Thank you very much. Congratulations.

Those are really the people that were are very much in charge of making everything work at the academy and the other academy separately, separate groups. A very important position for

groups. A very important position for the Navy Midshipman in 2025 was truly a season for the ages. You didn't just win the commander-in-chief's trophy. You

made history as one of the greatest teams to ever wear the proud uniform of Navy football, some uniform. The uh the

teams have gotten so good in the schools that I was able to get and we're pushing it very hard to make it permanent a

military academy deferment policy. So,

because you have some people here, you know, when I went on the field and I threw up a coin, I'm standing next to these guys. They were monsters. They

these guys. They were monsters. They

said, "Look at the size of these guys. I

thought they were supposed to be small.

I thought you had I thought you had sort of restrictions on size, you know. We

got rid of that because some of these guys were extremely large." And I, you know, and I we we have the NFL teams here also. When whoever wins the Super

here also. When whoever wins the Super Bowl, they come. The baseball teams, we had the Dodgers. We have we have them all. But I saw the size of these guys,

all. But I saw the size of these guys, so I got used to it and I said, "These guys are as big as the NFL." And uh at one of the visits a while ago, first

term, they asked me, they said, "Sir, we have a hard time recruiting because uh a player, if he's really good, he can't do the four or five years in the military service. Could you ask would we'd like

service. Could you ask would we'd like to do a military academy deferment policy?" I immediately knew what he

policy?" I immediately knew what he meant and we got it done. And uh it allows you to defer your service until after your career. So if you go in the

NFL for 10 years, so now everyone wants to join. So do I get credit for this

to join. So do I get credit for this successful team then?

The superintendent's going to say yes. I

don't know about the coach. I don't know about Kelly, but uh but the coach I think is uh it made your life a little bit easier. It was tough. It was tough

bit easier. It was tough. It was tough for the teams when they used to have to play guys that were twice their size, right? So they did good. They had better

right? So they did good. They had better heart. They have they have the best

heart. They have they have the best heart in the business, but size does matter. And so what we did is we got

matter. And so what we did is we got that so you have a deferment so a lot of people are able to join now and they do their service later. They're great

patriots but that would be a lot to ask and I think it's helped your teams really compete at the highest highest level. The team was led by your

level. The team was led by your incredible senior class and that includes the co- captain and star quarterback Blake Horvath who is

fantastic. Where are you Blake? Wait a

fantastic. Where are you Blake? Wait a

minute. You play

I was at that game. He's a player. Yeah.

Everything. You can run it. You can

throw it. What do you think? NFL

material.

Thank you. Stay up here if you want.

Look at this guy. He walks up.

Most of them just stay there and just, you know, they don't want to. Very good.

That's Look at him. I can't get rid of him. I can't stay. Stay there if you

him. I can't stay. Stay there if you want. Come on. Stay there. He's a

want. Come on. Stay there. He's a

quarterback. What the hell? But he ends his college career as one of the most accurate Navy quarterbacks of all time with an astounding almost 60% completion

rate, second only to the man we just spoke about, Roger Stow, who was unbelievable. He was unbelievable. He

unbelievable. He was unbelievable. He

served five years and then he came in and he was came in at like 27 or something and he was phenomenal as an NFL player.

Likewise, senior wide receiver Eli Hayden Reich scorched opposing defenses all year long. They've been writing about him a lot of stories setting a school record for receiving touchdowns.

He's And you do need a quarterback for that. Where is Where's Eli? Where's Eli?

that. Where is Where's Eli? Where's Eli?

Come here, Eli. Get over here. Look at

the size of this guy.

They're all saying he's got NFL pretty good. I

see by the size of those hands, you have no trouble catching that ball.

Beautiful. And we're going to bring them down to the Oval Office. None. Nobody

else. We don't have room for none of none of all these big shots that we have here. None of the senators, none of all

here. None of the senators, none of all these people. We're going to bring them

these people. We're going to bring them down. We're give be giving them a

down. We're give be giving them a special medal, a beautiful medal, a very expensive medal that if I see it on eBay tonight, I'll be extremely upset. All

right, so we're going to all march down there later. Congratulations. Thank you

there later. Congratulations. Thank you

very much. That's very nice that you say that the whole team is pointing at you.

Are you looking to go NFL again?

Yes, sir. I'm

okay. Good. Good. That's great. I'll bet

you make it.

Uh, so we have Eli in setting all the school records for receiving touchdowns, earning a spot at the NFL combine and uh, cementing himself as without a doubt

the greatest wide receiver in Navy history. That is not bad. Did you do the

history. That is not bad. Did you do the com combine?

Yes, sir.

How did you find it? Were you impressed by the athletes?

I was. Yes, sir.

Were you as good as them?

I liked it.

Were you better? They're all saying they like you. They all say he's better.

like you. They all say he's better.

Good. I can see it. We're going to watch. Okay, we're watching all you

watch. Okay, we're watching all you guys. And let's not forget one of the

guys. And let's not forget one of the strongest athletes the Navy has ever seen. Oh, this is the guy I want to

seen. Oh, this is the guy I want to meet.

Who was named a first team all-American, you can't do better than that. On five

different organizations. So, five groups named a first team all-American. Senior

lineman and co- captain Landon Robertson. Where's Landon?

Robertson. Where's Landon?

Where is His arms are like steel. I just hurt my head. I hit his muscle. It's like steel.

head. I hit his muscle. It's like steel.

Not messing with you think I can take him in a fight.

Thank you. Congratulations. This is

fantastic. So listen to this about Landon with a 665 pound squat and a 465 pound bench press.

What about women playing in men's sports? Think we could have a woman take

sports? Think we could have a woman take your position? Is there a woman out

your position? Is there a woman out there? I don't think so. You know, we're

there? I don't think so. You know, we're trying to end that. No men.

Think of it. No men in women's sports.

Maybe I'll put Landon in women's sports for a little while.

How ridiculous. I mean, you know, they say that's an 8020 issue. No, no, that's a 99% issue. It's amazing. Thank

goodness the Democrats keep pushing these things. Open borders, transgender

these things. Open borders, transgender for everybody, and they want to have men playing women's sports. So, Landon has some really big records, and he's so

strong that the team had to special order a longer barbell. I see. Because

the barbell would break. That's crazy.

Is he the strongest one on the team though? Huh? No doubt. You big strong

though? Huh? No doubt. You big strong guy again. What do you think?

guy again. What do you think?

So, thank you very much. We have a lot of fun at these things. I hope you I love sports and I love athletics and I love competition. I love competition and

love competition. I love competition and these guys are champions. But perhaps no single player better represents the heart and soul of this team than your 5 foot n

174. I love those guys. Those guys that

174. I love those guys. Those guys that are a little smaller than you're supposed to be, but they have a bigger heart than everybody on the team, right?

And the other team, too.

174 pound playmaker who delivered key knockouts and blocks on opponents almost twice his size. Senior Brandon Chapman.

Brandon plays selfless, relentless football. I got this from his coach, as

football. I got this from his coach, as he likes to say, quote, here's a quote.

The way I look at it, the fight's not over until I win. That's a great That's it, right? Just keep going. And uh

it, right? Just keep going. And uh

that's really the spirit of the Navy and our great sailors. Uh where are you, Brandon?

They love him. Boy, I tell you, you don't have you don't have players like that. You don't you don't win. You just

that. You don't you don't win. You just

can't win. You need people like Brandon and they all have that big heart. It's

very tough when you get into that elite group. When you beat those schools that

group. When you beat those schools that are big big and powerful, it's a pretty amazing thing. This group of winners

amazing thing. This group of winners opposed and opened the 2025 season with seven straight victories, including a thrilling win over one of your top

rivals. It's always tough, too. Air

rivals. It's always tough, too. Air

Force coach, Air Force is always tough.

What is that? I mean, they're always tough. You beat them, but they uh they

tough. You beat them, but they uh they always seem to have a good they have a good record and they always seem to do well, right? But no problem with this

well, right? But no problem with this team right?

What was the score you won by coach? Did

was it a close game or not that close?

One by three.

One by three. You won a couple of close ones, but you won. Doesn't really matter as long as you win, right?

So, that's great, coach. But as every Navy football player knows, you don't make it to the White House unless you also triumph over Army on that second

Saturday of December, which is the whole deal. I was at that game. It was

deal. I was at that game. It was

amazing. It was an amazing game. The

spirit, and I have to say, they introduced Trump, the place went crazy.

There were no like uh let's give a little boo, but there wasn't a boo in the house. Even the fake news couldn't

the house. Even the fake news couldn't say. I've gone to games where I've get I

say. I've gone to games where I've get I would say I got 97% but there might be one person boo. They cover that person.

They interview that person. That person

becomes a star. But they couldn't find any person at that game. That was some game. It was some scene in the historic

game. It was some scene in the historic 126 Army Navy football game. And uh

again something I really enjoyed. I love

being there. I'll be there, coach. I'll

be there. You got to be back, coach. We

can't ever lose you. You'll be back, right? You better be back. Do whatever

right? You better be back. Do whatever

you do whatever you do, Kelly. Get him

signed. Right. Speaking of that, and you get him signed. All right. But you

battle back from a two-score deficit to draw within six points in the fourth quarter. I was there. It was looking not

quarter. I was there. It was looking not great. It was not looking great, fellas.

great. It was not looking great, fellas.

You know, I can't say I was rooting for you, but I I did want to see that commander-in-chief deal was a big deal, right? And it only happens if you win.

right? And it only happens if you win.

And it wasn't looking great. With time

slipping away, Navy mounted one final drive and you marched downfield, nearing the goal line after running back Alex Tesa broke loose into the secondary,

which was amazing for a huge 24 yard gain. Okay, where's Alex? Where's Alex?

gain. Okay, where's Alex? Where's Alex?

I saw Alex before.

Oh, thank goodness. Thank goodness. That

was fantastic. I watched that because it was not looking good.

After you did that, the momentum shifted right coach?

The coach was saying, I think, I don't know, I got a problem. And then he did that. We all felt good. That's great.

that. We all felt good. That's great.

Congratulations. That's beautiful.

That's amazing.

So, Alex did his job and he did a a fantastic job. But every football player

fantastic job. But every football player knows every single one of them that you don't have heart, you don't have that.

You can have all the strength like Brandon. You can have all the strength

Brandon. You can have all the strength you want, but if you don't have heart, that's exactly what Alex showed and he's another one that's known for that. Then

three times the formidable Army defense held the line and they really held it making it fourth and goal. midshipman.

So, it's time to do or die, right, coach? And with six minutes and 37

coach? And with six minutes and 37 seconds left on the clock, other teams might have kicked an easy field goal, but that's not this coach. Coach, did

you have a call? Did you call up the superintendent and talk to him like, "What do I do?" Or did you just say, "Let's go for it." I think you said, "Go." I think you just go for it. Right,

"Go." I think you just go for it. Right,

coach? But not this team with this coach with the commander-in-chief's trophy on the line, which is a big deal.

Blake dropped back in the pocket, surveyed the field, delivered a strike across the middle to Eli for a touchdown and secured victory over Army in one of

the most iconic moments in Navy football history. Um, I wouldn't say in Army

history. Um, I wouldn't say in Army football history. I guess it was iconic

football history. I guess it was iconic also, but not quite in the same manner, but I watched that. That was incredible.

The annual Army Navy game is truly one of the most special occasions in all of sports. But in recent years, the College

sports. But in recent years, the College Football Playoff expansion has encroached on this sacred 4hour time

slot traditionally reserved for Army Navy. So what did I do? I went out. I

Navy. So what did I do? I went out. I

don't know if I could have pulled it off. I have much more power in my second

off. I have much more power in my second term, don't you think? What do you think? Would you say, Brandon? Much more

think? Would you say, Brandon? Much more

power. first term. I don't know if I could have gotten away with this, but what did I do? I went out and said, uh, I will I'm going to sign an executive

order to ensure that the second Saturday in December is preserved exclusively.

Nobody's playing football. Not Ohio

State against Notre Dame, not LSU against Alabama.

Nobody's going to play football for four hours during that very special time of the year in December. It's preserved

forever for the Army Navy game. Now, if

you don't want to watch football, you don't have to. But if you want to watch football, you're only watching one game.

You're not watching 19 different games.

All of them in many ways big. So, coach,

that puts a little pressure because the whole world's going to be watching. So,

nobody else is going to be allowed. Of

course, we'll probably get sued at some point because we always get sued, but we win those suits and we'll win this one.

The only game that's going to be played so we preserve that time no matter who it is. Uh, you're playing the Army Navy

it is. Uh, you're playing the Army Navy game. It keeps it keeps it special. We

game. It keeps it keeps it special. We

like it, right? Are you okay with it?

and just simply we don't want other college football games over over you know playing over us and frankly I'd always watch the Army Navy game anyway but you don't know you get some of these

games they're pretty tough and pretty good and they're pretty tough and they'll be able to play but they'll play after 7 o'clock I think uh we brought it all the way up to seven o'clock so that should give you plenty of time even if

you have a little overtime stuff so uh it's great it's just an honor to do because it's such an important tradition of our country. It's beyond football, actually. It's a tradition of our

actually. It's a tradition of our country. In two short months, the 28

country. In two short months, the 28 seniors on this team will be commissioned as officers and the greatest military the world has ever seen. We had the greatest military in

seen. We had the greatest military in the world, the strongest, the greatest.

And we're proving that when you can take Venezuela in a matter of minutes, put somebody on a helicopter that was well-guarded with thousands of people with iron doors. Those doors were like

plastic.

the United States Navy, the Marines, the whole military is we have the greatest in the world. I was so proud of what I did and I always loved Space Force because that was my baby.

That has never happened. That hasn't

happened in 81 years. A new force and it hadn't happened. And I think we all

hadn't happened. And I think we all agree that Space Force has become, you think, right? Very important. Very

think, right? Very important. Very

important to the success that we're having even now. Over the past few weeks, the world has seen the true strength and might of our sailors and

aviators as they fought in one of the most complex and successful military operations of all time against the Iranian regime.

And uh it's amazing. It's not I don't want to get too crazy here. Not a

contest. It's not even a contest.

They do whatever they want. They can't

They are They had a lot of great equipment. Russian equipment, Chinese

equipment. Russian equipment, Chinese equipment, a lot of They had plenty of money. That equipment was useless

money. That equipment was useless against us. Useless. No force on Earth

against us. Useless. No force on Earth can beat the American sailors or the American military with the strongest in the world by far. To those standing

behind me who will soon be joining these missions, I say sail fast, stay strong, and go Navy. And I just want to congratulate again this incredible team

on this the win of this trophy. It's not

often that this trophy gets presented.

You have to have a very special year to get it. And I'm going to sign the

get it. And I'm going to sign the executive order right now and then invite Coach Newberry up to say a few words and talk about what a great team and what great individuals they are. So

coach, I'll sign and then you take over.

Okay. Thank you very much.
