the Coast Guard, and I have to tell you that a lot of women in the Coast Guard now too little happy about that United States Coast Guard aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Forrest red, noir with Lieutenant Commander, Alexis wild. Alexis, where are you? Hi, Alexis. Alexis wild at the helm. And I'm told that just last month, the forrest red noir intercepted a vote with lots and lots of illegal aliens off the coast of California. It was loaded and then turned them over to the Customs and Border Patrol, and they did it so professionally, the people were very, very impressed with the job you did, Commander. So thank you very much. It was a great job. And thank you for defending our maritime borders with skill and with pride and the job you do amazing. So I want to thank all of you again for your amazing service to our country. God bless our warriors. God bless our heroes from West Virginia National, God water group. I love West Virginia, and I want to wish everybody a very happy Thanksgiving. We have a country that we can be very proud of I was with the King of Saudi Arabia, and he said, you know, sir, last year, you had a country that was a dead country. We thought it was dead, and now you have the hottest country anywhere in the world. And it's true, and we're going to be having close to $20 trillion invested. That's record setting by 10 times. Nobody's ever had anything like it. We're building plants. We're building we're building factories, auto factories, AI plants. The whole thing with artificial intelligence, I don't know the word. I've never liked the word artificial. I don't know what artificials are. I think they ought to change the name. I've always said it's a lousy name to have artificial anything, but it's a big business, and we're building more. We're leading China by a lot. We're leading everybody by a lot. We make the best military equipment in the world, and they're ordering it at numbers that nobody's ever seen before. But we're doing better than we've ever done before. We have the stock market just hit for the 48th time, an all time high during the nine months that I've been here, a little more than nine months now. And so we have the hottest stock market ever. That's a big thing for 401 k's and all of the millions of people with jobs. And 401 k is everybody participates in that. But it's 48 times in a little bit less than 10 months, 48 times. We hit an all time high. And I think we're going to continue, because when these factories that we're building from all over the world, they're coming because of tariffs, I think because of November 5, the election result, but because of tariffs. And we're taking in hundreds of billions of dollars like we've never done before, and some of that's going to go back in the form of a sort of dividend to our people, but much of it's going to go toward reducing debt. And what it really goes for and even better than the money we're taking in is the fact that nobody is attacking our companies and taking them out, stealing them like they've been for many years. Because if they do that, they have to pay a tariff as they make products and sell them into our country. So we made deals with Japan, we made deals with South Korea, we made deals with the European Union, where they pay us hundreds of billions of dollars, and they participate. They're now building plants. Honda is building plants. And they're all every every car company from all over the world, virtually is building plants now in the United States because they don't want to pay the tariffs. So there's never been anything quite like it. It's been amazing. So we're taking in, think of it, hundreds of billions. Next year, it'll be a trillion dollars or more, but we're taking in all this money at the same time protecting our country and we're respected again. They actually respect us, and they made the deals. They respect us, but they pay us. As an example, Japan, $650 billion South Korea, $350 billion European Union, $950 billion and they are building plants now in the United States because they don't want to pay tariffs. So this is one of the biggest things economically that's never happened. Nobody's ever seen anything like it. And over the next couple of years, I think we'll substantially be cutting and maybe cutting out completely, but we'll be cutting income tax, could be almost completely cutting it, because the money we're taking is going to be so large. And yet, other countries who have been ripping us off for many, many years of many years, they've just been ripping us in shreds. China would take in 600 $700 billion a year rebuild their military. And now we have a fair deal with China. We just met with President Xi. We have a great relationship. We have a fair deal. We take a lot of money in the form of tariffs, but so many even our friends. I mean, European Union, they're our friends. Japan, they're our friends. South Korea's our friends. They're now paying us hundreds of billions of dollars, and they're also paying tariffs to come in. We're not paying tariffs to go in there, by the way, they're paying tariffs, but we're not, so that's a total reversal, but we are benefiting like, like they used to benefit against us, but we're benefiting even more. So I just want to thank everybody for making all of this possible without you what you know, we don't have any defense, and boy, do we have defense. We have the strongest military anywhere in the world. We make, as I said, the best equipment. But we have, more importantly, we have the strongest military anywhere in the world. And you saw that with Iran, with those beautiful b2 bombers, they totally obliterated the nuclear potential, nuclear supply of Iran, and they did it in the dark of night with no moon, no light, no nothing. Early in the morning, they attacked. You couldn't see a thing, and every single bomb hit its mark. Every single bomb the Atomic Energy Commission said it was total obliteration. Remember when some of the fake news tried to say, well, maybe it wasn't as bad. Well, it was much worse than anybody thought. And I want to thank those pilots and all of the mechanics and all of the people that serviced and worked on the b2 bombers. We just ordered a lot more of them. And the reason we did is they were totally incredible, totally invisible. They were stealth, nobody. So they knew they were coming, but they couldn't see it, and they dropped the bomb. And then one of the pilots, commander said, skedaddle, let's get the hell out of here. But they dropped those bombs, and they loved doing it. They were so honored. They said to me, when they came to the I invited them all to the Oval Office, including the people that take care of the machines, because, you know, they flew 37 hours both ways, 37 hours, and there wasn't a sputter from an engine, there wasn't a broken screw, there wasn't a problem, there wasn't a chipped piece of paint. It was a flawless mission. I want to thank General raising Cain for that, and Pete hegson for that, but it was an unbelievable event. We have a country that's so respected again, but when the pilots came to see me, and I gave them a medal, all of them, there were lot of handsome people. It looked like Tom Cruise. Actually. It was very good casting. But I like Tom Cruise, the last of our movie stars, probably. But although we're honoring Sylvester Stallone a little while at the Kennedy Center, so I'm going to put him in that same category. We have Sylvester Stallone and Tom Cruise, but I will tell you that they said for 22 years, Sir, our predecessors and us wanted to make this attack. 22 years they wanted to make this attack, and they practiced it three times a year for 22 years, and no president gave them the approval to do it until you came along, sir, we want to thank you. I said, Did you really enjoy it? They said, Sir, we loved it. We loved it. And these are brave men. These are from a different place than some of the people I know who aren't courageous. We have a lot of people that aren't courageous. These people were amazing in the job they did. So with that, I'm going to ask Lieutenant Colonel Charlie Rockwood, who's a highly respected young man, to speak to you, and if you have any questions, I'll answer them. Unlike Biden, he didn't take questions, but I take all the questions you want. You can ask me any damn question you want, and then we go and have a great Thanksgiving. Because I don't know about you, you probably had your dinner already, but I didn't, and I don't know exactly what I'm going to have turkey. Okay, I believe it's turkey. So Lieutenant Colonel, if you would you take over?
