Eric Garrisi, who's who from day one in my office, he was my first sergeant in Iraq. He's one of my senior advisor. You're in the war room. It's Thursday, March 5th in the year of our Lord 2026. We are watching Secretary of War. Pete Heggseth speak down live in Miami. We're going to let him finish and then we have a pack show, so don't go anywhere This day. Patrick Weaver, Phil Hegseth, who I happen to know, and Ricky Berea, my chief,

for doing a great job putting this together. Tony, Salisbury, thank you. So many folks that

every single day in Washington, I hope you know, are working hard to run as fast as you

are, to stand alongside you in this mission. This is not a conference with flags so we can pat

ourselves on the back. I can tell you that. If I sold that to President Trump as the objective,

he'd kick me out of his office. This is an operational conference to bring our

countries more closely together to achieve a shared objective and do so aggressively. This is not a

one-ray street. Every partner in this region has to do more and invest more in your security as well.

We like you want a hemisphere of sovereign, secure, and prosperous nations.

We like you want what another great American president,

Teddy Roosevelt, called the permanent peace on this hemisphere,

and it will require action from all of us.

You know, our schools used to teach American school children about our hemisphere and it will require action from all of us.

You know, our schools used to teach American school children about our blessed history.

Every child in grade school grew up knowing the remarkable story of this country.

They knew that President James Monroe was once an orphan, that at a mere 16 years old, he had to look after his siblings.

I've got an almost 16-year-old. He couldn't look after anything.

It's remarkable. Well, that orphan grew to be not just one of the greatest presidents, but one of our greatest Americans.

After his presidency, when his wife died and he became frail and ill with heart failure,

but he still spoke about what he called our shared cause of liberty, still talked about

the toils and the perils of our war for independence.
