00:00As president, I am laser-focused on our core national interests, my preference will always be to make peace in seeking partnership.
00:11Even with countries where our differences may be profound, as you know, we're working on a lot of things right now.
00:18When I left office four years ago, we had no wars, we had no problems.
00:23We had nothing but success in the most incredible economy, the greatest single greatest economy for a president in history.
00:33I think we're going to beat this guy by life in one another.
00:36But we had something going on very special.
00:40But if the United States were a challenge for a friend or attacked the army, though, obliterating our opponents with overwhelming strength in the FNA force,
00:50that's why my administration has begun the colossal build-up of the United States Armed Forces.
00:57A build-up like we've never had before. Peace through strength. You know the term. I've used it a lot.
01:05Because as much as you want to fight, I'd rather do it without having to fight. I just want to look at them and have them fall. That's happening. That's happening. That's happening.
01:26I'm now a group paying $120,000 investment. And that will be again the largest ever in the history of our country.
01:39And we are buying new airplanes, brand new, beautiful planes, redesigned planes, brand new planes, totally stealth planes.
01:50I hope their self, their own self, they don't think they're wondering.
01:54You know, we can't believe this way they don't see it, but the other way they see it.
01:58I'm not, I'm sure.
02:00That's what they tell me.
02:02We have the best tanks anywhere in the world.
02:06We're going to start shipbuilding again.
02:08We're going to start shipbuilding.
02:10We used to build a ship again.
02:12Now I don't build them anymore.
02:14A lot of people didn't know much about getting things built.
02:18We're going to have the best missiles we already have, drones.
02:24And much, much more early this week.
02:26I think you'll like this.
02:28I am saying we are officially building all of America, made in America, designed in America.
02:34We're the only ones we can do because we're the only ones with the great technology.
02:38We're building the Golden Dome Missile Defense Shield to protect our homeland,
02:44to protect West Point from attack.
02:47And it will be beginning before we leave office.
