This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people. I got a free shot. All these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that. But you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

Stephen K. Bannon
Okay Wednesday the 20 May your valor 2026 is Memorial Day weekend week the week of and so we always as you do all kind of specials. We're going to be live on Monday morning as the President the commander in chief goes to Arlington National Assembly Patrick K. O' Donnell will join me in studio. We'll cover that as we always do Saturday. We're also going to do a special with Patrick K. O' Donnell about the honored dead of the American military. We will do that as we always do. Looking forward to that. We're also going to have other things in the run up on Thursdays when they place the flags I think 250,000 flags in Arlington by the old guard and Neil McCabe. We're going to figure out how we. How we do that from there, but we're working on it right now. So tomorrow's also going to be very, very special. And Friday, real quickly, just on Philip Patrick, make sure you take advantage. These sponsors go out of the way to give in with the relationships we build with them. We want to make sure that the senior management of these companies are available to you to make contact with. So whether it's Taj Gill or Trevor Comstock or Philip Patrick, you know, just. Or Colby over at Chapter, the team at home, title lock, all of it. It's made to set up so that you can start to build a relationship with these companies. So take your phone at Bannon B A N N Owen, 989-898. Get you immediate access to the investment guide of investing in Gold and precious metals, but it gives you access to Philip, pack the team, and that's what you need today. Also with Chapter, the same thing. Colby, remember database company that set up about this Medicare advisory and consulting, totally free. And they set up a hotline for you. 845 war room. Pretty simple. The feedback we've gotten from the posse is amazing because the labyrinth. Look, this Colby guy is a very smart guy. It took him a year to understand this. He was a year over a year working through this, given what his mother had gone through before they set the company up and now data driven. And the results are pretty amazing. So it's totally free and no obligation. So you got no downside except your time even. You'll come out of there with better understanding of this debacle, this nightmare that Medicare is. So go check it out. Today we talk about senior access, senior leadership. Last night, Jenny's story today, Glenn. And Glenn, I want to thank you. Your leadership at Patriot Mobile, the endorsement because of the power of the grassroots and what you and the team did and the great folks down in Texas, you know, beginning back at Ken Paxton on a total grassroots effort. Ken Paxton had no money. This has never happened in American history, the history of this Republic. To have $150 million spent to destroy a man, to destroy him. And the grassroots came together down there through Jenny's leadership, your leadership, and so many other grassroots leaders. The reason we did the show for, I don't know, two months down there at the Patriot, most of the time at the Patriot Mobile studios right there to galvanize people around Proposition 10, the proposition around prohibiting Sharia law, but also to show the grassroots that they had the ultimate power in Texas when they worked and it came out magnificently. It was not lost in the President of the United States. But Glenn, you've got to just show people for a second with that $150 million. When I say politics of personal destruction. And all they're saying now, oh, it's going to take $300 million. One of the reasons it may take a little money Here is the $150 million the Senate leadership Fund and others gave to La Civita. Not on a policy discussion, but literally on the politics of personal destruction, what the left does all the time to President Trump and the MAGA candidates. Talk to us about that, sir.
- [05:53]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, you know, it's this kind of garbage. And thank you for having me on. I always love joining you on the War Room. I love the war Room posse. You guys are what really helps us solve these problems here in Texas. But you know, I just want to give you an example of what they, they send out. And this is purely, purely nonsense. It's garbage. Ken Paxton has too many scandals. Well, those scandals were brought up by the very people sending this. The Pelosi of the world, the Karl Rose, they hate him. And here's another one it's time to pick aside, look at the picture. You want to talk about scandals? Talarico is on here. What is he? He is a quote minister that said God is non gender bioneer. Whatever. All this garbage, it's not scriptural. They've been after Ken Paxton for years. And the reality of it is the grassroots here loves him. 150 million to maybe 5 million and he's still going to win. What does that tell you? He's the real candidate. I know him. I know him well. I've golfed with him. I went to Charlie's celebration with him. And I'll tell you this, he's not perfect. Nobody is. There's only one person in this world that has been perfect. But at the end of the day, he loves this country so much. Think about it. I know him. He's a fighter. He wants to win. You know, he said, I'll exit this race if you, Cornyn, will, will solve the. Abolish the filibuster and get the SAVE act passed. He meant it. He was going to do it. But you know, the reality of it is the swamp, the cesspool. It's not even a swamp. The swamp is a living group of creatures where this is a cesspool that's out there. They hate our country in a way. They want to fund causes and candidates that are contrary to the Constitution.
- [07:48]
Stephen K. Bannon
I Want to ask you is, you know the companies in Texas, you guys are Texans. You got. If you call 972 Patriot to talk about the service and talk about switching, you get somebody with an East Texas accent. What I think is most powerful is we've covered Paxton. He's got this shtick at the beginning. He just says to the audience, you know, Cornyn's been there 24 years. Can anybody name anything that he's done positively? Can you name something he's worked on or come back and pitch to the people of Texas to get him back up to make phone calls, do whatever. Just give me his biggest accomplishment. He never gets any response.
- [08:26]
Glenn Beck
There's a great deal of silence here for a reason. Yeah, you know what? He signed bills. Of course he's voted for. What did he legislate? Look, here's what I really have to say. Think about. I said this the other day. I introduced Ken at one of the Tarrant county functions the other day. And I said, he may be the greatest attorneys general Texas has ever seen and maybe the states. He brings people together. I think 20 AGs came together to fight the government. And, you know, he's truly a leader. And, you know, he's. It's a tremor. You know, it kind of reminds me of Darth Vader when he felt Luke walk in and that I feel this mysterious force. He is that tremor to the dark, dark forces of the evil up in Washington. And you know what? He's the greatest leader that I can think of in terms of as our attorneys general. I think he's going to be a great senator. And look, we're going to vote for him. As soon as we hang up and watch the president, I'm going to go vote this morning. I've got a whole list of guys, and this is a big election. He's going to win it.
- [09:32]
Stephen K. Bannon
You go all over. You know, Jenny's more of the Texas grassroots you are, too, but she's centered on that run the country. You go all throughout the country. What is your take right now in May, as we're getting through the end of the primary season of when you go and talk to grassroots leaders throughout the country? Because I've noticed at the House raises and the redistricting, there's a lot of fire and a lot of people working. And I keep saying, I think we're coming within hollering distance of being able to hold serve in the House. The Senate's a totally different deal. I just don't see any enthusiasm when I talk to people and they're telling me about the Senate. It's always in a very negative context that they've blocked President Trump's agenda. They're treating him as a lame duck. What are your thoughts? You've got a pretty good feel for things out there. What are your thoughts if we sit in May coming up on this all important midterm.
- [10:21]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, look, I'm going to side with you on this. About six months ago, I thought it was the end of the day, as it always is, you know, when the president comes in, you know, hold three, three sides, government. But you know what? At the end of the day, it really looks like there's a lot of enthusiasm, especially with this law that just passed or they the judge shot down about redistricting. All of a sudden it's this enthusiasm reignited because Quite frankly, he's 100% right. These long ribbons of, you know, you go from, you know, let's just say Lubbock, Texas, all the way to Houston and call that a Congress, you know, a congressional seat. That's nonsense. And people see it. And so I really do believe that we're going to hold serve and, you know, we may get lucky and add a couple of seats.
- [11:09]
Stephen K. Bannon
What's your thoughts about the Senate?
- [11:13]
Glenn Beck
Well, I met John Thune the other day, and you know what? It's very rare that I'm speechless, but I had to bite my tongue and just be kind. You know, I know. Stop.
- [11:24]
Stephen K. Bannon
Full stop. Full stop, full stop. I know you well enough. You're never speechless.
- [11:28]
Event Announcer / Ceremony Host
What?
- [11:28]
Stephen K. Bannon
You were in a meeting and you. Why did you bite your tongue? But you were being very polite. Why'd you bite your tongue?
- [11:36]
Glenn Beck
You know, there's silence in the room right now, except in the control room. They're cutting up like. Anyway, you know what? Here's what it was. I had just spoke with Mike Johnson. Is he perfect? I've known Mike for a long time. But I'll tell you what, is. Could he be better? Sure. But I'll tell you what, at least he has the Hutzfah to get this SAVE act passed, and it goes to the Senate. How could anybody appreciate what the Senate's done? You know, I love Mike Lee. I know Ted well, I know Mike well. There's a handful of guys that do a good job, but the most of them put the green jacket on, they've drank the Kool Aid, and they just get involved in the cesspool of things instead of really running the country like their constituents want. And that's why it's hard to say, you know, look at Thune and say why on God's green earth there's 80% of the people out there want the SAVE Act. I get on the plane all the time and I'm like, red, yellow, black, white, it doesn't matter. Jesus loves us all. But at the end of the day, everybody wants somebody to show an ID to get on a plane. You got to. So you should be able to show an ID to vote. And, you know, I know why it's there. You know why it's there. The grassroots and the rest of America know knows why it's there. So you know what that tells me? Anybody that didn't vote to pass a SAVE act is not a communist, but they don't love their country.
- [13:01]
Stephen K. Bannon
Do you think we, I mean, we're the advocates here that they've been treating President Trump as the. As a lame duck? This is one of the reasons it just wasn't Ken Paxton's heroic efforts to support the President maga. By the way, the President is now arriving, getting ready to go over to the United States Coast Guard Academy to give the commencement address. We will go live there. We also got Jamie Raskin's this Judiciary Committee on Southern poverty Law center make your head blow up. So we're gonna go to that, too. We'll juggle both of them. It wasn't just, as I told the Wall Street Journal, it just wasn't Ken Pax and the great works. It was also yesterday you picked up every newspaper on Capitol Hill and it's up in Trump's face. We're not gonna do your weaponization fund. We're not gonna fund the ballroom. We're not gonna. The Save America act is not going to be put on any piece of must pass legislation. They're treating him like a lame duck. No recess appointments. And so finally he had a belly full of it. And that's why he shot. There was the Cornyn non endorsement that went to. And the endorsement went to Ken Paxton because Cornyn thought he had it. His team thought they had it. When they. After the first, after the primary was a shot across the bow. John Thune. Do you believe that we should make an effort now to remove John Thune as speaker and have somebody, our leader and have somebody else. 27 votes. Have somebody else take it over Glenn story.
- [14:20]
Glenn Beck
No question. Let's get a real leader. I mean, look, just take one guy that loves this country and say, okay, can you lead this Senate? Can you get the votes to pass the SAVE Act? And if he says yes, then I would be all in. I mean, I'm a good friend. Mike Lee's a pretty good friend. I watch him. He stands in the pulpit and says, this is the way it should be. And you know, you just wonder, is he the only guy out there? No, that's not the case. But there's six, seven senators that are just not doing their job. And so I would say find a strong leader and let's get this thing. Let's get him replaced and move on. Because you're right. I don't think, I think there was a bunch of folks here in Texas that wanted to put Cordon Cornyn in this and get him endorsed. Most Texans don't want that. I mean, I've just got to tell you this. We were, we sponsored the GOP all the time. The Texas GOP convention a couple of years ago. This is a great story.

Stephen K. Bannon (Host)

Stephen K. Bannon

Stephen K. Bannon (Host)
Here's your host, Stephen K. Banff.
- [16:57]
Stephen K. Bannon
Okay, we're tracking the President. We're going to go there. We're going to go up to the house. I got so much more to go through. Glenn's story. First off, give me a minute on why your phone service you put together is the best in the country.
- [17:09]
Glenn Beck
Well, it's pretty simple. Look, we honor God and everything we do and we try to live by biblical principles. And here's one really interesting point as well. We want to defend our God given constitutional rights and freedoms and passionately defend God and glorify him in everything we do. So let me say this. There's very, very few people that organizations that will say that in public. And I mean it, it's, it's, it brought, you've been here number of times it hasn't. We have an enthusiasm. And so what happens to that is when a customer calls, they get a redneck like me or somebody in East Texas or Californian that really cares about who's on the phone and we serve them and that what that entails. Our attrition rate is really low and our net promoter score is probably, it's about an 89 right now. So look, that is a testament in itself. This thing, this is just a phone. We are not a phone company. We are a mission based company. And that mission is to save our country. And I promise you this, we're one of the very few that will stand on stage and say that. So I, oh, one other thing. They just told me to say this. We have an incredible, incredible deal this month in particular for Memorial Day for those that served and for everybody. We just want to honor those that served. It's a free month of service and a free phone. And we would love for you to come over and sign up, say Steve sent you forward slash Bannon.
- [18:47]
Stephen K. Bannon
Give me that again. It's a hell of an offer on Memorial Day, on the run up to Memorial Day. Give me that offer again.
- [18:54]
Glenn Beck
Yeah, it's a free month of service and a free phone. So I mean, look, call, say, hey Steve, I heard Glenn on the show today. I know this thing's coming down the pipe and we're doing it for one reason. We want to honor our those that served. I think my dad was In World War II, my great grandfather was in the Civil War. It's in our system to fight for this country.
- [19:21]
Stephen K. Bannon
The honored dead of Memorial Day weekend. Glenn. I know people are going to find this quite surprising, but if you hang around Glenn's story, if you hang around Glenn's story, if you hang around Glenn's story long enough, you'll hear a couple of three great stories and you'll see him in action. He's what I refer to as a real piece of work Glenn story. You've got us. But I think you're going to tell the story that I love. About, I think, the Republican convention. Is it the John Corner story? Go ahead and tell us. It's fantastic.
- [19:46]
Glenn Beck
Well, hey, before I go any further, I'm glad you didn't put another word after piece of, you know, so anyway, yeah, so, you know, we always have a big booth. You know, it's 40 by 40, 40 by 60, whatever. You know, last CPAC, we had a bus in our booth, you know, our Patriot Mobile bus. But here's the story. So, you know, we. All the grassroots are down in Houston or here in Dallas. And anyway, you know, we had about a thousand lanyards printed and they said Patriot Mobile. Well, you know what? John Cornyn brought up his gun control issue and other stuff. So what really ended up happening is when he was speaking, he just got booed off stage. He talked for 15 minutes with boos going on. And about three minutes later, we had a trash can and all thousand lanyards were gone. And the John Cornyn lanyards were all in the trash can next to us, next to. Next to the other booth. I gotta get you a picture of it because it's quite interesting because that speaks volumes. Conservatives typically aren't ugly, and I don't think that's ugly. They just want to support causes or candidates that support their country.
- [21:04]
Stephen K. Bannon
Last thing, Talarico, because he's. He's the NPR candidate, Jasmine Crockett, who's a fire breather. Her campaign was so disorganized. She didn't really have. She should have beat him, but she didn't have a shot. But the NPR crowd, that's why they put him on Stephen Colbert with that phony thing to raise more money. He's a. You say he's a pastor, isn't he just a seminarian? I mean, he's a very weird guy, is he not? Sorry, that hasn't come out. That's all going to come out, but he's a very weird guy.
- [21:32]
Glenn Beck
Well, I wish I'd have been a little more prepared. I have about 20 of things that he's said, a list of things that he's said on stage, and I've got scripture to the side of it that completely repudiates what he says. And so, yeah, this guy has. He stands in the pulpit. He is a pastor, He's a seminary guy. Seminaries these days seem to be woke. If he's a byproduct of what's going on, because he is not a Texas pastor, I'll just tell you that the things he says wants to make you just throw up and so, look, the battle against this guy right here, I promise you, will be epic, because there's not a Christian, a real true believer, that believes he has the right message. He is Beto Beto 2.0. But I'll tell you this. He's got a little bit of believability, but he's not likable from my perspective. And you know what? Not that I need a person that's likable. I want a guy that will go up there and fight for our constitutional rights and freedoms. And I know Ken will do that. I don't think this guy stands a chance.
- [22:45]
Stephen K. Bannon
Oh, no, no, Talario. Definitely. I can prove that. From the very first day of the Biden regime. 972 patriots, where you go. Glenn, thank you so much for taking time to join us today and thank Jenny for everything you guys do. Some of the grassroots leaders down in Texas appreciate you.
- [23:01]
Glenn Beck
Well, well, we thank you for giving us this platform to talk. And, Steve, you're one of the greatest partners, and we always appreciate you. We welcome you back down to Texas soon because we got a battle out here to. To take care of.
- [23:14]
Stephen K. Bannon
You got a big fight. Gotta hold that seat. Thank you, sir. Appreciate you.
- [23:18]
Glenn Beck
All right, have a blessed day.
- [23:20]
Stephen K. Bannon
Also, the state, the governor's race, attorney general, all of it. I've got a few minutes. Can I play? We're waiting for the president to come. Let's play. I want to go to Jamie Raskin. So you see, Jamie Raskin, this is the top hate group in the country, and we got to take it down. We got to blow up the Southern Poverty Law Center. Let's see the one and only Jamie Raskin today. Judiciary.
- [23:39]
Jamie Raskin
Anyone has flipped sides to join the racist extremists. It's not the splc. It is the FBI itself. And if a fraud is being perpetrated on the public right now, it's not an SPLC fraud. SPLC has been an enemy of the Klan and neo Nazi groups for more than a half century. It's been unswerving and steadfast, which is why their offices were bombed and why they get an unending stream of. Of violent death threats. Something which makes this prosecution and persecution all the more appalling. No, what we're witnessing is a Trump administration fraud on a vast and shocking scale. President Trump has coddled and cultivated the extreme right for as long as he's been in politics. After the infamous Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville In August of 2017, when Neo Nazis marched on a synagogue and the University of Virginia chanting Jews will not replace us. When a homicidal extremist drove his car into peaceful counter protesters and killed Heather Heyer, Trump could only bring himself to say that there were some very fine people on both sides in 2020 when he was directly asked in a nationally televised presidential debate to condemn white supremacists. He told the proud boys to stand back and stand by, which they immediately adopted as their official motto and emblazoned on their T shirts. In office, the Trump administration has dismantled the anti domestic terror infrastructure at the FBI, at doj, at the Department of Homeland Security, constantly shifting resources away from monitoring racially motivated violent extremism into immigration enforcement. He's gutted the Civil Rights Division, which is charged with prosecuting hate crimes, defunded the center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, which had helped Prevent more than 1000 violent terror plots since 2020, and installed a 22 year old with zero national security experience except for model United nations his junior year of college to run what remains of our terrorism prevention office, he's redirected the Civil Rights Division to focus on so called anti white discrimination instead of the actual hate crimes devastating communities across America. He fired the federal prosecutors and FBI agents who investigated and convicted the extremists who attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021. And just this month, the Trump administration released a new national counterterrorist strategy that literally erases right wing violent extremism from the record. The strategy identifies drug cartels, Islamist terror and violent left wing extremists as the nation's top threats, but makes no mention whatsoever of far right extremism, white supremacist violence or domestic neo Nazi terror. This despite a decade of data from the nonpartisan center for Strategic and International Studies showing that right wing extremists carried out 152 attacks in the United States and killed 112Americans, compared with 35 attacks and 13 deaths attributed to left wing extremists. Again, he just blames his enemies for what his side is doing. Trump's real relationship to the extreme right was on full display January 6, 2021 when the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and Three Percenters, all in Roger Stone's sphere of influence, led the violent assault on the Capitol and our police force as Trump exhorted a crowd of thousands of to go out and fight and fight like hell or you won't have a country anymore. That mob not only chanted hang Mike Pence referring to Donald Trump's then vice president, and tried to shut down the peaceful transfer of power for the first time in American history, but brutally assaulted our police. Wounding, injuring, disfiguring and disabling more than 150 officers, terminating many careers in the process. But what has President Trump done to support, praise or even just.
- [27:36]
Stephen K. Bannon
We're going to, we're going to come back. We're going to come back to this. Or take a short commercial break. I want to play Raskin because he's one of the smartest and toughest on their side. This is the unbridgeable gap I talk about. That can't be debated away. It cannot be. It's not bridgeable. They have a hate group that they have now an endowment with $800 million that have set out to destroy all these great groups on the right, including Charlie Kirk. Really? They targeted Charlie Kirk so they realized Charlie Kirk was a rising power and a good man. And you heard that, that crap right there. That's not, that's not a debate or we're going to say that. No, there's, it's unbridgeable. One side is going to win and one side is going to lose. And we will win if we do not quit. Let me repeat that. If we don't quit, we'll win now. We're not going to win tomorrow. It's a process. Trust the process.

I want to make sure you get the full scope of the Jamie Raskin because this is where the fight's going to be. Like I said, it's not bridgeable. It's not. And you can't debate it. One side's going to win, one son's going to lose and we're winning. I know sometimes it says, well, Steve, it doesn't feel like winning. My response to that, it's maybe too much winning. Kidding. You just got to keep at it and good things are going to happen. Like Ken Paxton. Remember, always remember. They were about 30 minutes away from after the primary, because it was 40 to 41 after they had spent, I think, $80 million of talking President Trump were giving him false information and bad polling and things like that, to endorse Cornyn, which had been an unmitigated disaster and because of people's hard work and getting to the president and, you know, making sure the President knew how much Cornyn hated him and hated maga. And you see these guys see Cassie right away flipping, you know, Cassie's. Now, he was always an enemy. Now you can just come out from under his rock and be an enemy. But the endorsement, and the endorsement means so much more than just Ken Paxton. It's rejuvenation. This is the reason we went down with the Prop 10 back in January. We felt it was quite important because victory begets victory and we needed some wins. At that time, I don't think the pundits were too far off. I think you could look at a 20 or 25, maybe a 30 seat blowout. People were just not feeling it. Right. I mean, some obviously did, but a lot of people were just not, you know, feeling it. That's why Prop 10 was such a big victory. 2 million with no money and. But the key was the organization and the rejuvenation of the spirit inside of Paxons that could really be bulletproof from the money spent against it. My time down there, what I was appalled about, totally appalled about, and shows you that the people, the La Civita and Cornyn and the people around Corinthune, they're not interested in saving the country. They're not interested in this republic. They're interested in just their own making money. Nobody that has a conscience would ever do what they attempted to do against Ken Paxton. We were down there. And it was during the time of the Olympics too, the Winter Olympics. So it was both broadcast, which is quite extraordinary, the local news and all, cable carpet bombing, the worst possible edge you could ever have against somebody. And this is where, you know, because Cornyn had, you know, he's an open borders guy, he's hated President Trump's wall, fought against. Of course, he's got a big ad. He's walking up and down with a big cowboy hat at the wall. You know, he's all for the wall. As soon as we put the Sharia law. You remember the Texas Tribunal, which is a very good paper down there. It's on the left, but they do a good job reporting. They picked up in the first week or two that we were down there after the. After, you know, Glenn Beck and Gerd fielders and Peter McElvenny and everybody had that great dinner that was sponsored by the grassroots, said, hey, out of nowhere, this Muslim, this Sharia law proposition has become like the number one thing. John Cornyn, who's been very pro Islamic invasion, right, doing these things, you know, honoring their holidays, all of it, just the worst. He does an ad, literally did an ad in the first couple of days because his guys think this is smart. We'll just take this and did an ad where he's the, he's, he's against Sharia law and he's going to, you know, put a, you know, legislation against Sharia law. Just a complete telephony and then two day, two or three days later. Okay, let's cut to the United States Coast Guard Academy. President, United States Commander in Chief.

Ready. 2. Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats. It is now my privilege to introduce the Commandant of the Coast Guard, Admiral Kevin E. Lundy.

Admiral Kevin E. Lundy
Good morning. Linda Lee and I are honored to be here today. President Trump, thank you for coming back today to charge these new officers as they head out to our operating forces. Thank you for your visionary leadership to renew the Coast Guard. Starting with last year's record capital investment serve to buy new cutters, boats, aircraft, facilities and technology. Sir, we've already spent 13 billion of that to meet your intent. And we're on track to spend nearly all of it by the end of this year. Thank you for your strong 27 annual budget that when funded by Congress before October, we'll grow our service by nearly 6,000 people to operate those new assets. And thank you for your resolute advocacy for not just the Coast Guard, but all of our armed forces too. Secretary Mullen, thank you. Secretary Mullen, thank you for your leadership and support of our Coast Guard men and women and their families. And under the President's direction, for fighting to successfully fund the Coast Guard and the rest of DHS and ensure that what happened this year never happens again. We will not forget what you did, sir. To the superintendent, faculty and staff, thank you for forging these men and women into leaders of character who are ready for the call. To the parents, families and friends, you laid the firm foundation of character and values for these graduates. Their success reflects your enduring love and support. Thank you to the class of 2026. Congratulations. Four years ago, you arrived as individuals, Americans drawn From across our great United states, including our U.S. territories in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa. You were joined here by international students from allied and partner nations. Today, as you march out, you do so as a unified team forged in the crucible and bound together by a shared calling. To serve with honor, respect and devotion to duty. You will serve at a time of historic consequence. The maritime domain is more complex, contested, and more vital to American security and prosperity than ever before. And today, the Coast Guard is in greater demand. And we are delivering proven value and results to the American people. We save lives. We secure and defend our homeland and its maritime approaches. From the borders of the mainland US throughout the Caribbean and the Western Hemisphere, to Alaska and the Arctic, to Hawaii and the three territories in the Pacific. And in cyberspace. We facilitate commerce through our ports, waterways and shipping, vital to America's economic prosperity and to rebuilding the nation's maritime might. And we respond to crisis. At the same time, our service is implementing the President's vision to renew the Coast Guard through force design. A generational transformation that's building a new fleet of assets and bringing in the additional men and women who will operate them. Our people are our greatest treasure. And as we build the most advanced ships in the world, they are nothing without their crews and the leaders of character to command them. You are those leaders. You'll soon report to your first units to lead across our operating forces. Aboard cutters, at sectors in deployable specialized forces teams, and at Coast Guard Cyber Command. First, though, you will take the oath to support and defend the Constitution that accompanies your military commission. The commission is more than words. It is a direct grant of constitutional authority from our president and Commander in chief to you. And it represents a sacred trust with the American people. As commissioned officers in the profession of arms, you must lead as if your lives depend on it. For certain, the lives of the men and women you lead, their lives will depend on it. And the lives of the American people we serve will depend on it. The Academy has prepared generations of officers, and you have spent four years preparing for this moment. And I know you are ready. I am incredibly proud to serve as your commandant. Looking to the horizon, I have certain hope for the future. For there's one thing our distinguished service history proves. Whether ready coastline, guard crew and the strong support of the American people, there is nothing we can't accomplish. Semper Paradis. I'm now honored to introduce a distinguished leader who knows what it takes to secure our United States and enable our Coast Guard and the department to deliver mission success. A fighter who's always in our corner, leading from the front, our Secretary of Homeland Security, Mark Wayne Mullen.

Thank you, Admiral Lundy. And thank you Mr. President for allowing me such an honor to serve in your cabinet at Hudson. Such a historic time as Secretary of Homeland. It's a very humbling position I find myself in and I play no games about who is my favorite out of the 22 components. I understand the Coast Guard, you're our first line of defense to protecting the homeland. And our President, our Commander in Chief, he believes in peace through strength. But he also understands that not everybody believes in peace. And some people only respect strength because of the great men and women who sit in front of me today. You give our Commander in Chief the options because you're the 1 percenters. You're the 1% that will stand up and you defend our freedoms, you defend our Constitution, you defend our homeland, you defend our nation. And our Commander in Chief loves you for that. As the 1 percenters. The President has made it his obligation plus his mission to fund our military in the way that no other president has done. He's invested millions in the tunes of 25 billion actually to fund the Coast Guard. To bring the Coast Guard back to mission capable to not just fit today's missions but to focus on tomorrow's missions as well. As I stated before, you're the first frontline protecting our shores. You protect our inland waterways. You're the law enforcement of the water. And our President realizes that your Commander in Chief, this isn't his first time to come and speak at this podium. In fact, this is his second time to come speak at this.

To how you guys learn how to swim, to your missions capability and to the fact that you guys are involved in every mission that when we're taking down the narco boats to the illegal flag vessels, you guys are involved in it. And it comes with a great sense of pride for me because I get to call our Commander in Chief also my friend and for me to stand in front of you today and be able to introduce him to the 1 percenters. I take that as one of the greatest honors of my life. So without anybody waiting on me, because I'm never going to get in the way of this guy, let me reduce your commander in Chief, our 45th and 47th President of the United States, Mr. President, Donald J. Trump.

Event Announcer / Ceremony Host
Thank you very much. Thank you very much. That was beautiful. He's a fantastic man. He's a special, very special man. He always has been. And Mark Wayne, thank you. Appreciate it. And hello, cadets. And let me begin by saying a very big congratulations to the class of 2026. Special class. It's a true honor to be here on this magnificent day at one of the most prestigious military academies anywhere in the world. And. And I'm thrilled to become the first president to ever give a second keynote address to this storied institution. I am very proud of that honor. We'll have to try it a third time. We're going to have to try it maybe a third time, too, to keep that record intact. And a few moments from now, every graduate in the field will go forth with a even greater honor, one of the highest distinctions anyone can attain. You'll become commissioned officers in the United States Coast Guard. And our country is hot. This is a great time. Our country is hot. I hate to say it, but I will. A year ago, a year and a half ago, two years ago, the last administration, we were a dead country. Right now, we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. We're respected all over the world. You saw that with China just recently. You saw that in Venezuela. You saw that right now in Iran. Everything's gone. Their Navy is 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. But we're a hot country. We're the hottest country. Hottest country anywhere in the world with the strongest, most powerful military anywhere in the world. And there's nobody close. I want to thank our. Our new Secretary of Homeland Security, Mark Wayne Mullen, a fantastic man for the introduction, along with Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Kevin Lundrie. And he is. He is something. He's a special guy. You know, when you get to that position in the Coast Guard, you're very. Something I don't have to ask, gee, how good is he? They have to be very good. It goes with the territory. And the President of the Republic of Palu Suren Ghel Whips Junior. I want to thank you very much. And you're here, and we appreciate you being here. Thank you very much. Over the past four years, this class has been mentioned by an exceptional team of professors and coaches and military professionals who have seen shaped you into leaders. You came with very good quality, but they've shaped you nevertheless. And warriors who revere honor and really honor duty. You honor duty like very few others can even think about it. So let's give a big round of applause to the entire faculty and staff that made this possible. And I especially want to thank academy superintendent rear admiral Greg Rothrock. Come on, get up here, Greg. Come here. Come here. He does a hell of a job. You don't want to mess with him. Don't mess around with him. Thank you very much, Greg. Fantastic. Also, your assistant superintendent, Captain Jess Raziox. Raziox. Where is he? Very nice. Thank you. Commander of commandant of cadets Captain Aaron Cassebant. Hi, Aaron. Commandmaster chief Evan Burch. Evan, where are you? Evan. Good job up here, Evan. It's never easy, Evan. Up here. Right? You feel more comfortable on the water. And class advisor Christy Rose. Christy. Thank you, Christy. And of course, where would you be without the wonderful friends and family in the stands? And there are a lot of them here who loved and supported you, and they were with you every single step of the way. And they do love you. They do love you. Sometimes they're not forthcoming with that statement. They are so they're up there. Half of them are crying. Look. Their boy, their girl, Right? Their boy or their girl. They call them girl, by the way, and they call them boy. And in 30 years, they'll be calling you boy and girl, too. They love you. Your parents and your family, please. To all of the moms and dads, grandparents and family members here on this joyous occasion, thank you for everything you've done to raise such amazing American patriots. We really appreciate it. What a. What a group. And today is all about the Incredible class of 2026 that you've achieved and all of the things that you've achieved and the exciting future that awaits. You have an amazing future. Very soon, you'll swap your shoulder boards and you'll join the long blue line of legendary rescuers, seafarers, and service members that fill American hearts with admiration and pride. I've watched it. I've watched you during those hurricanes in Texas, and you got out there, and you were going through waves that nobody else would have done. I wouldn't have done it. I would have said, captain, I'M not feeling too good today. They're going to have to take a day off. But you would have. No, you would have none of it. You are really something. I watched it. You saved so many lives. During my first term, we had one of the worst hurricanes ever in Texas and the Gulf. And the bravery that you displayed was incredible. You saved thousands. I think the number was 16, 17,000 lives you saved. 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 Coast Guardsmen have brought hope to the hopeless and swept the innocent from the jaws of a raging sea. Seas like nobody has ever seen before. In some cases, Coast Guard warriors piloted the famous Higgins boats and delivered American liberation to beaches of Normandy and sailed through smoke and flame and gun fire 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 ever been able to patrol them before or since. For decades, the men and women of this noble service have repeated an unofficial motto of pure, unyielding courage that says, you have to go out, but you don't have to come back. That's a statement. You have to go. I think of that. You have to go out, but you don't have to go back. And you know what that means. That means danger. And it's a statement that you live by. This is the unbelievable heroism and exceptional selflessness that lives in the soul of every single cadet on this field, every single one of you. And you've all been tested. You'll be tested further and probably at higher levels as your career goes on, but you've been very strongly tested, and you have what it takes. You're America's first offenders. You are America's first responders. You are the living standard bearers of America's first fleet. As your commander in chief, I could not be prouder of the. The great class of 2026. Congratulations. Congratulations. Amazing. And I have no doubt to say, and just like those Coast Guard legends who came before you, you will always put America first. We put America first. Now, we haven't done that for a long time, but we. We do that under the Trump administration, I will tell you. And the whole world is saying, well, America is first, and they put America first. And we help others, too, but we put America first. Four years ago, most of the cadets here today could have gone to almost any school that you wanted. It's so hard to get into the Coast Guard. I had so many people searching.
