Transcript
00:00What is President Trump doing to ensure that a similar internal drone attack doesn't happen here in the U.S., given this was done at pretty low cost, very stealthily?
00:12You know, it obviously raises questions about our own security, particularly for U.S. aircraft here.
00:17It absolutely does. And that's why the President nominated Secretary Hegseth and has approved some of the changes that have been made at the Pentagon to ensure that we have the most lethal fighting force in the world.
00:28And that the United States military is the best, the biggest.
00:32That's why he wants the one big, beautiful bill to be passed, because it increases our defense spending.
00:36It's why he also launched the announcement of the Golden Dome to prevent from missile strikes and attacks in the future.
00:42And the President has a full understanding, I can tell you, because I've spoken to him about it, about the future of warfare and how drones are a big part of that.
00:49And I will not get ahead of our policy team, but I think you can expect to see some executive action on that front in the very near future.
