The usa. And as your commander in chief, just like every president before me, i have no greater comfort than knowing i can have absolute faith in you. In 19181 Foreign Military aggression threatened our way of life, we called on the marines. Marine Sergeant Dan Daly urged his men through those horrible trenches with the courageous battle cry that you all know very well. Do you want to live forever . That was the question, that was the cry. In 1945 when we needed somebody to scale the cliffs and plans of flag at iwo jima, we called on the marines. In 1951 setbacks loomed in korea, though we are doing a pretty good job with korea right now. And hopefully something positive will come out of it. Hopefully something very positive is going to come out of it. Well see. And we are prepared for anything, right . We always have to be prepared for anything. But i really believe something very positive could happen. Great for korea, north and south, and great for the world and great for this country. So when it loomed in korea and we needed warriors who would fight against all odds, we called on the marines, the legendary man of the frozen chosen. In 1962 when america needed a man to board a rocket, launch it just based on orbit the earth for the first time, we called on a marine. The one and only john glenn. The legendary acts like these of sacrifice, courage, heroism are the proud legacy of the United States marines. Be very proud. Your heritage drives you. Your heroes and spare you, and your actions immortalize you in the pages of american history. Incredible history. And every day you push yourself to new heights of excellence and new depths of courage, keeping america safe, america strong, and america free. You honor your duty to our country. Now we must honor our duty to you. For too long, the men and women of the United States armed forces have been asked to do more with less. You have borne the costs of underinvestment and deferred modernization. And also deferred maintenance. You have endured longer and more frequent deployments. You have spent countless hours fixing and maintaining old equipment. If you have fewer ships than we should, fewer planes than we should, and you have fewer of you than we should. Today i am very pleased to report that all of that is changing, and all of that, as you have seen, is changing quickly. [cheers and applause] the Trump Administration is committed to a policy of peace through strength. We have finally ended the devastating defense sequester you have lived with for many years. We are now undertaking the Largest Military buildup since Ronald Reagan and one of the largest buildups we have ever had in the history of our nation. Last year, i requested and received an additional 21 billion to address the urgent shortfalls. The twoyear budget agreement i just reached with congress will provide 700 billion in defense funding this year, the largest ever. Larger by far than any country has ever spent. And next year, we will raise that number 2,716,000,000,000. 2,716,000,000,000. Thats a lot of money. Even for you, thats a lot of money. We are also investing in our greatest weapon of all, our most powerful weapon, our most beautiful weapon. Our most brilliant weapon. You. In 2019, we want to give you your largest pay raise in over a decade. [cheers and applause] you deserve it. You deserve it. You deserve it. And we are building new after 35 joint strike fighters and we are going to send them right here ts of other fighters and lots of other weaponry. Weaponry like weve never had before or sent before. They will be sent also all over the world. And i understand some of you really great pilots could use some new ch53s. Do you want to see some new ones . [cheers and applause] well, you are getting them, okay . They are brandnew. Right off the line. We are getting a lot of great stuff. Im happy to report that in the near future, miramar is getting brandnew ch53k king stallions. They will be sent soon. They are coming. They are being made. We are also modernizing our Nuclear Capabilities and rebuilding our nuclear infrastructure. We are investing more money than we have ever done before. We have to be so far ahead of any other country. Its a capability we never want to think about using, but we have to be prepared. And in a nuclear front, we are so far and will be so far ahead of any other country. We have no choice. We have increased investment and Hypersonic Weapons systems by 50 and we are accelerating development of hypersonic system that can fly five times the speed of sound. Thats pretty quick. The United States is going to do colonel john glenn proud. We are finally going to lead again. You see whats happening. You see they are rockets going up left and right. You havent seen that in a long time. Very soon we are going to mars. You wouldnt have been going to mars if my opponent won. That i can tell you. You wouldnt even be thinking about it. You wouldnt be thinking about it. My new National Strategy for space recognizes that space is a war fighting domain, just like the land air and sea. We may even have a space force, develop another one, space force. We have the air force. We will have a space force. We have the army, navy. I was saying at the other day because we are doing a tremendous amount of work in space. I said maybe we need a new force. We will call it the space force. I was not really serious and that i thought what a great idea. Maybe well have to do that. That could happen. That could be the big breaking story. Look at all those people back there. Look at that. Oh, that fake news. [cheers and applause] they know. They understand. Think of that. Space force. We are spending a lot and we have a lot of private money coming in. Tremendous pretty solid half of a day. From the very beginning, many of our astronauts have been soldiers and sailors, airmen, coast guardsmen and marines. And our Service Members will be vital to ensuring america continues to lead the way into the stars. We are going to lead the way in space. We are way, way behind, but we are catching up fast. So fast that nobody even believes that. I also have released a new National Security strategy that underscores the vital importance of homeland security. Its all about homeland security, right . We protect people all over the world. We are going to protect them better than ever before. Our homeland. Its about time, right . Nobody is going to mess with us. Dangerous criminal and terrorist organizations relentlessly seek to exploit our immigration system. I have just come from a trip to the border where i met with our wonderful border agents, Border Patrol and the i. C. E. Agents. Unbelievable people. And reviewed prototypes of a new physical wall that will protect our border and protect our country. Have a choice. We need it. We needed for the drugs. We needed for the gangs. We needed for lots of reasons. We have to have it. It will be 99. 5 successful. People want people to come over it. The drugs will stop by a lot, although we have to get a lot tougher with drug dealers. Have to. But that wall will stops so much. We looked at the different prototypes, and it was fascinating. And we have two or three that really work. We had people trying to scale. We have done them everywhere. You know, im a builder. What i do best is billed. Okay . You know, other people to build a wall and then say doesnt work. Wait a minute. Which is billed 1,000 miles of wall. Well, we made a mistake. It doesnt work. We should have done it a different way. We are doing it before we build. Better idea, dont you think . We are going to have a great mall. Its going to be very effective. You are not going see them climbing over this wall to easily. That i can tell you. I have also called on congress to close dangerous loopholes that are exploited by traffickers, smugglers, and cartels. Human trafficking in this modern age is worse throughout the world than its ever been. Who would think that . Human trafficking. Worse than its ever been. Each of you has sworn an oath to support and defend the constitution of the United States. Our task in government is to ensure that we preserve what we have gained through incredible sacrifice of you and many people before you. That is why my administration is confronting sanctuary city policies that nullify federal law, violate our constitution, and threaten the safety and security of our nation. They shield criminals. You cant do that. That is why we are asking congress to ensure that no federal funds subsidize this dangerous and unlawful behavior. We want to protect you and we want to protect all of our families. We want to protect our nation. We are also taking action to protect our homeland from rogue actors overseas through enhanced missile defense. We are spending a tremendous amount on missile defense, and that is money well spent. And its also jobs. We make them here. We make them right here. Theres also jobs. We are adding new interceptors, improving centers and advancing radar capabilities by many, many times. I have empowered our commanders in afghanistan with the authority they need to win, enabling the full might of the american military. The coalition to defeat isis has now liberated almost 100 of the territory previously held by these terrorists in syria and iraq. We did a great job. You did a great job. You did a great job. They would have been around for a long time and they were getting bigger and stronger. You saw it. We knocked the hell out of them. We knocked them. I want to say a special thanks to all of the men and women from the third marine aircraft wing. Miramar air station and stations across the san diego region, especially the two miramar based squadron so im just returned from deployment. The death rattlers and the gray hawks. Are you . Where are you . Its a goodlooking group. Thats great. Thank you. Great job. Your service has been extraordinary. We wont let up until isis is completely destroyed. Isis never thought this would happen. They never got hit like this. We took off the gloves. In one year, we did more damage to isis than other administrations, a certain other administration did in many year years. We took off the gloves. We are also working with allies and partners to block irans path to a Nuclear Weapon and confront its sponsorship of terror and bloodshed all around the world. Everywhere we go in the middle east, it is iran, iran, iran. Behind every problem is iran. We are dealing with these in a very serious fashion. One of the worst deals ive ever seen was the iran deal. 150 billion we gave them for what . With your skill and your bravery, i know that the United States military will forever remain the greatest fighting force in the history of the world. And we are making it now. 700 billion. 716 billion the following year. We are giving you the tools that they were trying to take away from you. So important. And the marines, as always, will be the tip of the spear. To the fighting men and women of miramar and all across the san diego area, we must all think bigger, build faster, push farther. They are and be greater then ever, ever, ever before. Each one of you is vital to our mission. You are fighter pilots, mechanics, engineers, hospital, sailors and sergeants. But above all, you are Great American patriots. Great american patriots. You race into battle, rushed into fire, fly into danger and you give all to defend our nation, our people, and the american way of life. And they love you. A century ago, every man who heated sergeant dalys battle cry was pushed onto victory and glory by that same love of country. As war engulfed iwo jima, our young heroes set their eyes upon the same beautiful site. Red, white, and blue perched atop an incredible rocky peak and when colonel john glenn looked down on the United States as he soared beyond limits of our atmosphere, he was filled with the same pride of one beating american heart. Our pride makes us strong. Our strength keeps us free. Because of heroes like you, our freedom will never die. We are becoming stronger and stronger and stronger as a nation. And while a lot of you dont think about it, our economy is setting records. Our unemployment is at alltime lows. Africanamerican unemployment is the lowest its been in history. Hispanic unemployment is the lowest its been in history. Women unemployment is the lowest its been an 18 years. And we are setting records. And last week we had over 150 Million People working. That is more people working in our country than ever before in its history. We are making a lot of progress for you. [applause] all across this nation, we pray for our country and we thank god for our United States marines. Today and every day, we pledge to remain always faithful. It is an honor to be with you. You are very, very special people. Thank you. God bless you. And god bless america. Thank you. Thank you very much. Jesse that was President Trump speaking in miramar air station in san diego after viewing wall prototypes and speaking in front of a few thousand marines talking about reinvesting in the armed forces and defeating isis. In the iran deal and also the creation, greg, of a space force. Greg i love the idea of a space force. He didnt say corps men. Border security, national defense, and the domestic leg. This is what he is good at. Something like a space force will sound comical. A serious reagan idea people laughed at that he was talking about protection, security. Space force, the reason why its important as it shows you that trump is a longterm thinker and hes ready to basically give up being popular in the short run for longterm ideas. His ideas like the wall, those are longterm. Thats thats for the future. Hypersonic systems, the nukes. These are longterm ideas for the longterm safety long after he is gone. When the left talks about oh, its for the children. Its for the children. Everything he talked about roy there is for the children. Jesse including the pay raises which got a big round of applause by the marines there. He had just come fresh off a visit of wall prototypes, eight of them. Seemed like the ones with visibility. Dana i think for his first trip to california, these two events not the fundraiser tonight for the trip to the border and seeing the military, probably the best use of his time. Jesse roundly applauded by the marines especially when he said if hillary was elected, they would not be going to mars. What do you think . Juan hope he has a beautiful time, great state. I think hes going to run into some demonstrations tonight when he comes out of his protective bubble. He looks to me like he was trying to buyin to the goodwill of the American People have for our military. Trying to identify with them. And then he says but the obama administration, some other administration, we wouldnt have done this. Hillary clinton, we would have done that. By the way, greg, its not visionary. He is just throwing stuff at the wall and hoping it sticks. Greg he is building the wall, not throwing stuff at the wall. Juan space force . He doesnt know what thats about. Jesse juan is antispace force. Greg so short sighted. This is the problem with democrats. They only have one half of an idea. They cant think about the future. Its all about world peace but you can figure out juan my source dana perino tells me the white house even dana someone named it wrong and Congress Proposed it. Greg i guess trump is colluding with the space aliens. Jesse kimberly, he was asked about governor jerry brown who really criticized the president s wall proposal, since hes ruining california. Doing a terrible job. Very political already. Kimberly well, it isnt going well in california, lets be honest. Its probably about to get a lot worse. Its a big problem, and we have to subsidize their failure. The president is well within his rights to criticize and point out some of the problems they have been having there in terms of the budget and all of the issues. To circle back on this, this is President Trump at his best with the military, something hes very strong on. National security and defense. The crowd, they loved the space force. Dana it is the next front. Greg its where we have to go. Elon musk everybody is looking to the skies because thats where we have to go. Jesse i nominate juan to lead the space force.
