00:00Why don't I acknowledge the female pilots that also participated in this mission?

00:04The early messages that you sent out only congratulated the boys.

00:08So when I say something like our boys and bombers, see this is the kind of thing the press does, right?

00:13Of course, the chairman mentioned a female bomber pilot.

00:15That's fantastic. She's fantastic. She's a hero.

00:18I want more female bomber pilots.

00:19I hope the men and women of our country sign up to do such brave and audacious things.

00:24But when you spin it as, because I say our boys and bombers is a common phrase,

00:28I'll keep saying things like that.

00:30Whether they're men or women, very proud of that female pilot, just like I'm very proud of those male pilots.

00:35And I don't care if it's a male or a female in that cockpit and the American people don't care.

00:48Yes.
