00:00on behalf of the American worker. And one more. After the president's true social post,
00:04the Browns finally took Shadur Sanders. Does the president think he deserves credit
00:10for Sanders getting picked? And does he think going to the Browns is better than being undrafted?
00:16Hey, all I will say is the president put out a statement and a few rounds later he was drafted.
00:23So I think the facts speak for themselves on that one, Peter. We'll go to the back row in the middle
00:27to the blonde. Yes. Hello. President Trump has said that Secretary Hankseth will get it together.
00:33Does he think that Hankseth doesn't have it together right now? Look, the president has made
00:38his position on Secretary Hankseth quite clear. He absolutely has confidence in the secretary's
00:42ability to lead the Pentagon. It's why he nominated him for this position. It's why the Senate voted
00:47to confirm him in this position. And look at the success that DOD has had thus far,
00:52their successful operation against the Houthi terrorists in the Middle East. You look at the
00:56recruitment and retention levels for all branches of our armed forces are on the incline, which is
01:02exactly what this president intended to do. Secretary Hankseth has completely wiped out DEI
01:07from the Pentagon as well. And so he's going to remain focused on standing up for our warfighters,

01:17and the president supports him in his role. Sure.
