President Trump: This afternoon we're announcing nearly ten billion dollars of new investments in our Defense Industrial Base, right here in the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and these investments will create more than four thousand jobs. Pennsylvania workers will build the ships, submarines, trucks, weapons, and industries that will ensure America remains the strongest and most powerful nation in the history of the world

President Trump: This year we are celebrating the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of American Freedom, and no state has been more central to protecting that freedom than the Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is where America declared it's Independence, where George Washington crossed the Delaware, where the Union was saved by the heroes of Gettysburg, and where Pennsylvania workers poured the iron and steel that won two world wars, and won lots of other things in addition. With today's announcement, Pennsylvania will play a key role in building the Arsenal Of Freedom to defend our nation in the modern world.

President Trump: Today I'm making one more important announcement. My administration will soon take historic action to get illegal alien truck drivers, who are just killing a lot of people; they can't read signs, many of them are on drugs or alcohol, and they shouldn't be driving these things, and they came in totally illegally and we don't want 'em. But they are driving all over American roadways, and we're gonna replace them with proud American Veterans. We're gonna take our veterans, we're gonna teach them about driving trucks, and in many cases they know. We're gonna say that any American who has driven a heavy truck for our military will automatically be eligible for a commercial driver's license.

Secretary Hegseth [Defense and Innovation Summit]: We've been waging a war of attrition against the Pentagon bureaucracy to open up the aperture and make sure competition, and speed, and innovation, and commercial options, have a seat at the table. Not just great prime contractors who've been there for a long time, but many of our great companies that make many of our best systems, started to look a lot more like the government, than they look like business.
