THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Secretary, thank you. Hello, Coast Guard Academy. I tell you what we’re going to speak for about four hours to see if those white uniforms last longer to keep the heat away than these poor guys in their graduation gowns here. God, love you. I thought I was hot in a blue suit. (Laughter.)
Governor Lamont, it’s good to see you, man. You’ve been a good friend a long time.
And I understand the senior senator from this state for a long time, Chris Dodd, is here. I don’t know where you’re I don’t I don’t think you’re in the class, Chris. But you’re one of the where is he? Chris, welcome, pal one of the finest men I’ve ever served with in my whole career.

President Biden snapped at graduates who declined to clap during his commencement address at the 2021 U.S. Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut on Wednesday.
Mr. Biden was talking about the importance of the Coast Guard in times of war when one of his lines fell flat among the graduates.
“I can only assume that you will enjoy educating your family about how the Coast Guard is ‘the hard nucleus around the Navy forms in times of war,’” he said.
“You’re a really dull class,” he added, resting his elbows on the podium. “I mean, come on, man. Is the sun getting to you? I would think you’d have an opportunity when I said that about the Navy, you’d clap.”
