Reporter: James Comey, over the weekend, Mr. President, he suggested that there are still people in your DOJ and FBI that are waiting you out. They're waiting until your administration is over to get back to work. Do you think those people are still in the DOJ and FBI?

President Trump [Joint Base Andrews]: I hope not. Well, if they are, we're gonna seek 'em out. We'll seek 'em out, we'll get rid of 'em, okay? Because; you have in every agency, you have scum. And certainly they did in the FBI, DOJ. But Todd Blanche is doing a fantastic job. Kash is doing a very good job. We will prevail. I've been standing here a long time with you. Many years, right? And they've been saying, 'I think it's it. I think he's in trouble.' Here I am. It's a very constant situation, but I think you're going to find we have great people in the FBI, and we have great people at DOJ. Todd Blanche has really been doing a great job. And a lot of things to come. We have a lot of things that are coming right now.

Frank was involved in the late 1980s D.C. call boy scandal. His Capitol Hill apartment was used as a brothel.

President Trump [Coast Guard Academy]: Everything's gone [Iranian military]. Their navy's gone, their air force is gone; just about everything. The only question is, do we go and finish it up, or are they going to be signing a document? Let's see what happens.

President Trump: Through every generation, the heroes of the United States Coast Guard have lived by a creed of honor, and bravery, and sacrifice, that have defied every storm, shipwreck, and every single enemy attack. In the hour of need, our coastguardsmen have brought hope to the hopeless, and swept the innocent from the jaws of a raging sea; seas like nobody's ever seen before, in some cases. [inaudible] Warriors piloted the famous Higgins Boats, and delivered American liberation to beaches of Normandy, and sailed through smoke, and flame, and gunfire, to put the Marines and the Guadalcanal very much into play, and they patrolled the distant shores of Manila Bay, and Mekong Delta, and the Red Sea, and they patrolled them like nobody has every been able to patrol them before or since. For decades, the men and women of this noble [inaudible]. This is the unbelievable heroism and exceptional selflessness that lives in the soul of every single cadet on this field.

President Trump: I was telling your leaders before that we have eleven; and we're way down on Icebreakers. And we've ordered eleven. We're working with Finland. They make Icebreakers. They make the best Icebreakers. We're going to learn everything we can learn. We're going to, shortly, make them ourselves. But we're making them; right now, currently under construction, we have eleven. Beautiful. And I said, 'When's the first one coming?' They said, in '28. I said, 'I'm going to be here in '28. Maybe I'll be here in '32 too, I don't know. Maybe I will'.

President Trump: For years, Washington, D.C. was run by foolish politicians who thought they could defy the laws of world history, violating every common sense principal for preserving national power and national security, and they surrendered our industrial capacity to other countries, crippled our energy production, threw open our borders; we had borders; just- they were open borders, they called them, People came in totally unchecked and unvetted. You know how many over four years in the last term? Twenty-five million people.

President Trump: From the Gulf of America, to the frozen waters of the Arctic, from the shores of Havana, to the banks of the Panama Canal, we will drive out the forces of lawlessness, and crime, and foreign encroachment, just like we've been doing.

President Trump: I was with, as you know, President Xi of China. Two days ago we had a tremendous meeting, a very successful meeting, and he agrees our military is phenomenal. I don't want to go beyond that, but I will tell you, he respects our military tremendously. Our military is respected. We have, as I've said, the greatest military anywhere in the world, and we're going to keep it that way.

President Trump: We're also providing three hundred and eighty million dollars for renovations and improvements right here at the Academy. The Academy's going to be so beautiful. It's already beautiful, frankly, but it's going to be Tippy-Top, as I say. It's going to be perfect.

President Trump: No matter how terrible The Storm, no matter how difficult The Mission, never surrender, keep going, keep fighting, and make the adversary quit first. Let them quit. They're gonna quit if you keep going.

President Trump: America was not founded by weak and timid men, or women, who cowered in the face of evil, or sat by as danger loomed. As President Theodore Roosevelt said, 'Freedom is not a gift that lasts long in the hands of cowards and weak people'. Today our country faces the threats that are very strong, but we have a much stronger country today than we had two years ago. Today, the threats that looked really bad, two years ago, three years ago; we had a country that was rudderless, just like that ship that had it's rudder shot off. We have a country now with very strong, powerful rudders. But every one of you, has your soul, strength, courage, to face whatever comes before you. You're going to do unbelievably well. I look at audiences all the time, but I'm looking at this audience; it's just an incredible group of people. A beautiful, beautiful, great group of people. So you're brave, and you're bold, and you're always ready to go. And you inherit the legacy of some of the most daring and intrepid Americans ever to live. You are inheriting the mantle of some of the bravest people, some of the most incredible warriors ever, right here. A tradition of pride, and glory, and greatness passed down from one generation of Coastguard Heroes to the next. Great heroes.
