LIVE: Protest streams
Secretary Hegseth [Fort Bragg]: He's laser-focused on America First [President Trump], on Peace Through Strength, and in supporting our American war fighters and vets.
Secretary Hegseth: Those who long for peace, must prepare for war, and that's something the 82nd Airborne, America's 911, does every single day.
President Trump: This week we honor two hundred and fifty years of valor, and glory, and triumph, by the greatest fighting force ever to walk the face of the Earth, the United States Army.
President Trump: For our adversaries, there is no greater fear than the United States Army; they all fear us, and we have the greatest force anywhere on Earth.
President Trump: For the American people, there is no greater pride, because you are the righteous sword of American justice, and the ultimate shield of American freedom, This week we remember that we only have a country because we first had an army…we are free because you are strong.
President Trump: For a little breaking news, we are also going to be restoring the names to Fort Pickett, Fort Hood, Fort Gordon, Fort Rucker, Fort Polk, Fork A.P. Hill, and Fort Robert E. Lee.
Biden booed at Fort Bragg. kek
President Trump: Generations of army heroes did not shed their blood on distant shores only to watch our country be destroyed by invasion and third-world lawlessness here at home, like is happening in California. As Commander-In-Chief, I will not let that happen. It's never gonna happen. What you're witnessing in California is a full-blown assault on peace, on public order, and on national sovereignty, carried out by rioters bearing foreign flags, with the aim of continuing a foreign invasion of our country. We're not going to let that happen.
President Trump: The agitators are throwing firebombs, Molotov cocktails, lighting vehicles ablaze; you saw the cars that were burning, mobbing police officers and ICE officers, who are the toughest people you'll ever meet, and they love our country, and attempting to infiltrate and occupy federal buildings wearing armor and face shields, the best money can buy. Somebody's financing it. We're gonna find out thorough Pam Bondi and Department of Justice who it is. They're already on it. Who's financing all this equipment? Very professional. Under the Trump administration, this anarchy will not stand. We will not allow federal agents to be attacked, and we will not allow an American city to be invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy, that's what they are.
President Trump: Very simply, we will liberate Los Angeles, and make it free, clean, and safe again. It's happening very quickly.
President Trump: We will not be deterred, and the mob in Los Angeles, or anywhere else, will not succeed. They don't even have a little chance. And I will be calling you early as I see this happening.
President Trump: The life of a soldier is not just a job, it's a calling, and a sacred tradition, passed down from father to son, brother to sister, and one generation to the next. At every hour of danger, our noblest citizens have answered that call, kissed their loved ones goodbye, and run to the sound of guns.
President Trump: Under the Trump administration, we're focused on restoring the spirit of the U.S. Armed Forces. No soldier ever volunteered for the army to be lectured about transgender diversity or inclusion…America's Patriots joined the army to kick down doors, storm beaches, kill terrorists, and win America's wars. That's what we want. And that's what you want.
President Trump: The army will soon be stronger, bigger, and better than ever before. And every new soldier that joins our ranks will kindle the same fighting spirit exemplified by the likes of Sergeant Major Jim Schmidt, who is no longer with us.
