Trump's live. Is it finally happening? Oh, here we go.
We're going to have it at the highest level.
I want to thank Secretary Hegset, who's been fantastic.
What's this?
Rubio and Space Force, Vice Chief of Space Operations General Mike Gutline.
I also want to recognize Senator Dan Sullivan,
Kevin Kramer, and Jim Banks, fantastic senators, great talents,
great political talents, and people that love our country.
in the campaign, I promise the American people that I would build a cutting-edge missile defense shield
to protect our homeland from the threat of foreign missile attack.
Oh, shit.
And that's what we're doing.
Today I'm pleased to announce that we have officially selected in architecture for this state-of-the-art system
that will deploy next generation technologies across the land, sea and space, including space-based sensors and interceptors.
and Canada has called us and they want to be a part of it.
So we'll be talking to them.
They want to have protection also.
Didn't Canada also drop their tariffs?
So as usually, we'll do the best we can.
This design for the Golden Dome will integrate with our existing defense capabilities
and should be fully operational before the end of my term.
So we'll have it done in about three years.
Once fully constructed, the Golden Dome will be capable of intercepting missiles,
even if they are launched from other sides of the world,
and even if they are launched from space.
And we will have the best system ever built.
As you know, we helped Israel.
Bro, he watched Independence Day.
It was very successful,
and now we have technology that's even far advanced from that.
But including hypersonic missiles, ballistic missiles,
and advanced cruise missiles,
all of them will be knocked out of the air.
We will truly be completing the job.
President Reagan started 40 years ago forever ending the missile threat to the American homeland
and the success rate is very close to 100%, which is incredible.
When you think of it, you're shooting bullets out of the air.
I'm also pleased to report that the one big beautiful bill will include $25 billion for the Golden Dome
to help construction get underway.
That's the initial sort of a downposit.
And we have probably you're talking about.
General, we're talking about $175 billion total cost of this when it's completed.
This afternoon I'm also announcing that I will appoint, very importantly, General,
Goodline to lead the ambitious new effort as the direct reporting program manager for the Golden Dome,
very talented man, and I'm very honored to us been the one that helped to have really created Space Force.
Space Force has turned out to be a tremendous success. We were third in space,
and now we're number one in space by a lot.
It's not even close.
Wow.
And Mike is a four-star space force general.
The recipient of the defense.
How can you be a space general?
Distinguished Service Medal,
one of the most respected people in the world
having to do with defense.
You know, we have offense and we have defense.
I'll bet he's good at offense too.
And he is an unmatched background
in missile warning technology and defense procurement.
General Goodline also knows that we need to move fast.
No one is more qualified for his job.
And everybody, this was a universal acceptance of General Guttlund.
Everybody that knows him and knows everybody else, they said there's only one man for the job.
So I have a feeling we have the right guy.
But now I'd like to invite Secretary Hankseth and the general to please say a few words
and describe the system a little bit.
All right.
And we appreciate you being here.
The press is ready to bring fair over the last period.
Because you can see the U.S.
and there's the dome.
It was so much more exciting the other way.
Oh, we're protecting Mexico, too.
We have very high poll numbers, the highest we've ever had.
And I think we're doing a great job.
We had a tremendous trip to the Middle East, as you know.
It was a really amazing trip.
And now I came home, and this is the one I was really looking forward to this day,
because this is very important for the success and even survival of our country.
It's a evil world out there.
So this is something that.
It goes a long way toward the survival of this great country.
And as they said, we'll be discussing Canada.
They want to hook in and they want to see if they can be a part of it.
That sort of makes sense.
I guess that's what I was talking about.
As long ago.
It's automatically makes sense.
And it won't be very difficult to do.
But they'll pay their fair share.
Thank you very much, everybody.
And Pete, go ahead.
Sure.
Well, Mr. President, add this to the long and growing list of promises made.
and promises kept. Ultimately, this right here, the Golden Dome for America, is game-changer.
It's a generational investment in the security of America and Americans. Mr. President, you said,
we're going to secure our southern border and get 100% operational control after the previous
administration allowed an invasion of people into our country. President Reagan 40 years ago
cast the vision for it. The technology wasn't there. Now it is, and you're following through
to say we will protect the homeland from cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles,
drones, whether they're conventional or nuclear.
And it's not lost on me, sir, also, that you had the vision to start the Space Force,
and here we are in the Oval. When others said we didn't need it, here we are in the Oval Office
with one of the leaders of the Space Force in General Gutline, leading the charge on putting
in place a game-changing Golden Dome for America.
So, sir, it's an honor to be a part of this boldness.
initiative. We're going to get to work on it. We have been, since you signed that executive
order on January 27. Keep in mind, he also introduced Stargate. We've been fast forward on this.
We're here on this day. Legitimately.
Just one stop in delivering this defense of the homeland, which is something you've charged
us with doing, and we'll keep going until it's going. Stargate. Thank you, Pete. Pete's doing a great
job, by the way. Thank you very much. General, please.
The President, today is a great day for the nation as we double down on protection of the home.
All right, Balby. What's up? As you're aware, our adversaries have become very capable and very
intent on holding the homeland at risk. While we have been focused on peaking the peace overseas,
our adversaries have been quickly modernizing their nuclear forces, building out ballistic
missiles capable of hosting multiple warheads, building out hypersonic missiles capable of attacking
the United States within an hour and traveling to 6,000 miles an hour, building cruise missiles
that can navigate around our radar and our defenses, building submarines that can sneak up on our
shores, and worse yet, building space weapons. It is time that we change that equipment. It is time that we
change that equation and start doubling down on the protection of the homeland. Golden Dome is a bold
and aggressive approach to hurry up and protect the homeland from our adversaries. We owe it to our
children and our children's children to protect them and afford them a quality of life that we have all
grown up enjoying. So the keeper of the Golden Dome is bald? I greatly appreciate your trust in me
and your nomination in me and your trust in the team to deliver this. It is a great day for America.
And also very importantly, we're the only ones that have this. We call it. We call it. We're the only ones that have this. We call it
super technology, nobody else has it, and nobody else has nearly, really near what we have.
So this is a very exciting project.
This is something that will, I mean, the general is it close to 100% protection.
So that's something we need.
I think it's a very, and everything's going to be made in the USA, by the way, very importantly.
So it's something that I've been looking forward to for a long time.
And I just notice you, too, Jim, you're standing there and behind you is a very important document,
Declaration of Independence.
Yeah, I heard about that.
I was in the vault for many decades under, right under this area.
They have vaults with pictures on top.
You have Abraham Lincoln.
You see, that was the original Abraham Lincoln, the original Washington.
It's the real guy.
Does everybody know who the middle was?
General Grant.
And so it's very exciting.
You look over here.
The guy won the Civil War.
You have Thomas Jefferson.
That's Monroe from the Monroe document.
Oh, geez.
That is, right? Andrew Jackson. So we have a lot of very exciting pictures. The $20 bill guy.
The other side, likewise, just some great presidents and great people. And these, many of these, because people were asking about,
and many of them, almost all of them were in the vaults. Yeah. Or nearby, but generally in the vaults downstairs.
Well, we have some great, so it's, uh, by the way, what is this about?
The place has become a little different than you first saw, Jim, right?
Yes, much better.
A little bit different, slightly better.
But I think we had them in somewhere in the vaults for over 100 years.
So it's pretty cool stuff.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Everybody knows Jim Banks.
It's a great congressman, and now he's a great senator from Indiana.
And you might want to say a few words.
Well, your legacy with Space Force, Mr. President, is already big, but the Golden Dome is going to be an even bigger legacy for our country.
Why don't they help you make it right?
The space satellites that are made in Fort Wayne, Indiana by L3 Harris,
all the work done at Crane Navy Base in Southern Indiana is going to be a big part of it.
And users are very proud of that. We're proud of you. Thank you very much.
You're going to be a big factor. Thank you. And good luck. And congratulations. You won that race by a lot.
That wasn't even a contest, right?
Well, thank you. Thanks to you and all of your support.
Thank you very much. Thanks.
Please go ahead. You missed that. This is a Senator Kramer. He's one of our best. Can't get any better. Go ahead.
Well, you're very nice, Mr. President, and thanks for this.
And I remember the day in your first term when you called,
I was a brand new baby freshman senator on the Armed Services Committee
and said, you said, I want to have a space force.
Would you lead the effort on the Senate Armed Services Committee?
And I felt so proud thinking that you chose me
and only to find out later no one else would do it.
But nonetheless, it worked out really, really, really well
because North Dakota has some great space assets.
and that contributed to that.
And to Golden Dome, no surprise that you would be the one,
the president that would come along and put the homeland first.
And this is just one more example of that.
So thanks for this and for allowing me to stop doing.
By the way, let me just add my strong endorsement of General Goodlines
role in leading this.
I don't know anybody better, for sure, better equipped to do it than he is.
Everybody said that.
I'll get through this afterwards.
Dan Sullivan, Alaska, Senator.
Thank you, Mr. President.
and thank you for your continued leadership on missile defense.
We were talking earlier how in 2019 at the Pentagon,
you laid out a speech about the missile defense review
that had all these principles on missile defense.
You articulated then during your first term,
and now the Golden Dome is all of that.
So you're continuing to lead.
We really appreciate it.
You know, the Congress is stepping up,
as you mentioned right now in the budget reconciliation bill,
$25 billion for the Golden Dome in what Senator Kramer and Senator Banks and I and many others,
we're working on our, and I briefed you on this before, sir, on our Golden Dome Act,
which we think we'll have in terms of legislation that can help cement what you're doing right here,
getting the Congress behind it, not just with the funding, but with authorization.
So we're working closely with Secretary Heggseth, General Gutline, and the whole team.
So we're very honored to be here, sir.
And, you know, Alaska is the cornerstone of missile defense right now in terms of ground-based missile interceptors in terms of radar systems and track incoming missiles.
So my state is honored to continue to play a critical role in all of this and build on it.
And we're really excited to be here.
Thank you.
Thank you very much, Dan.
Great.
Any questions?
Mr. President, you have mentioned at the beginning of your remarks that this was a campaign promise of yours.
Have military commanders asked for this system specifically?
Because NORAT had said previously that the current system was adequate.
So what does this get the United States?
Somebody said the current system is adequate.
There really is no current system.
We have certain areas of missiles and certain missile defense, but there's no system.
We just have some very capable weapons that hopefully we never have to use, but we have some very capable weapons.
You're talking about lasers?
There's never been anything like this.
This is something that's going to be very protective.
I think you can rest assured there'll be nothing like this.
Nobody else is capable of building it either.
The Jewish space lasers.
Did they ask you to do this?
Right.
Well, let me put it differently.
I suggested it, and they all said, we love the ideas, sir.
To where it's got to be, right?
But they want it, and they wanted it badly once it was suggested.
I don't know if they ever thought they would be lucky enough to have it,
but we were able to get it done, and we have all the funding,
so pretty much tucked away.
I think most people feel it's very important to have.
Yeah, please.
Thank you, Mr. President.
When you first announced this idea, critics said it would be prohibitively expensive,
potentially ineffective, and could trigger an arms race in space.
What do you say to those critics about that?
Well, the wrong is about as close to perfect as you can have in terms of real production.
I told you, Canada wants to be a part of it, which be a fairly small expansion.
But we'll work with them on pricing.
We'll be dealing with them on pricing.
They know about it very much.
They've asked to be a part of it, actually.
They've asked us to be a part of it.
I think it's something that is great.
If you can afford to do it, we can afford to do it.
You know, we took in $5.1 trillion in the last four days in the Middle East.
And when you think about it, this is a tiny fraction of that.
Oh, God.
We make it all here.
We're going to make it all here.
We have when, I will tell you, an adversary told me,
a very big adversary told me the most brilliant people in the world are Silicon Valley.
He said, we cannot duplicate him.
We can't. This was somebody that I won't tell you who it is, but you'd be amazed.
We have the most brilliant minds in the world doing this kind of thing.
The equipment.
It was Sam Altman who said that.
But he said that we just can't duplicate what you have there in Silicon Valley.
We never have been able to.
And there's a very strong group of people.
And very strong minds, but they can't.
So we have things that nobody else can.
have. You see what we've done helping Israel with that. You probably wouldn't have an Israel.
They launched probably 500 missiles altogether, and I think one half of a missile got through,
and that was only falling to the ground as scrap metal. It's pretty amazing. And this is,
in terms of technology, far advanced from that system.
And just follow up on the adversaries. Have you addressed Russia's ventures in space with a
space-based nuclear weapon and told Putin to stop in your conversations with him?
We haven't discussed it, but at the right-based nuclear weapon?
The goal of keeping Americans safe with this, can you talk about the timeline?
How long will this take to complete?
We think it's going to be about a little bit less than three years.
Yes, what he said.
And we'll have a big phase in very early.
We're starting immediately with $25 billion.
It'll cost about $175 billion completed.
But we think in two and a half to three years.
Are you confident that you can get the funding needed from Congress quickly?
Yeah.
It's amazing how easy this one is to fund.
You know, some funding is tough and some is easy.
What we say we're going to save everyone's lives in a crazy world.
It seems to be very easy to get.
Yeah, we've already spoken to everybody who have to speak to.
Everybody's in.
I would say, Dan, everybody's in line here.
Yes, sir.
25 billion is a down payment in the budget reconciliation bill right now.
Yeah.
So I think people-
Mr. President, on Russia, people actually love it.
Mr. President, on Russia, are you worried about the reports on a military buildup along the borders towards Finland and Norway?
Oh, I don't worry about that at all.
Oh, he going for the Adolf mode?
Those are two countries, you're going to be very sad.
Uh-oh.
And the second is, sir, if I may, let's let's say today that he's hoping for you to impose new sanctions on Russia.
Are you considering that?
Well, that's going to be my determination.
That's going to be nobody else's determination.
Yeah, probably not.
how Russia behaves. We see what's going to happen. We have a pretty, we have a pretty critical
time. I had a talk yesterday for two and a half hours with President Putin, as you know. I also spoke
to all of the European, or to many of them, leaders, but they were representing the whole.
And I think we had very good conversations yesterday, please.
Thanks, Mr. President. What companies have asked to be involved in building this system, and have you
decided on who will be building it?
Yeah, I think what, I'll let you answer that.
that you can mention some of your, yours from Alaska's involved.
And Alaska is a big part of it because locationally they're sort of perfect.
I think it's your first line of defense in certain instances.
And Kevin will tell you that his state's involved.
But honestly, all Georgia is going to be very big.
Florida is going to be very big.
They're all going to be very big.
Jim, you want to talk about Indiana?
In Fort Wayne, Indiana, where I live, we make all the space satellites at L3 Harris.
across the board.
We're the top manufacturing state in the country.
By the way, the tariffs have been very good
for auto manufacturing in Indiana.
Glazing roads.
This is really good for the defense industry in my state.
There's so much money involved here.
There are going to be a lot of American companies involved in making the golden dough
possible.
You might also say you're talking about the tariffs.
Here's some of the biggest auto plants in the world moving into Indiana,
only for one reason, maybe two reasons, November 5th and the tariffs.
Yes, sir.
But the tariffs have driven tremendous business into this country.
But you have one of the biggest in the world being good.
The Honda Civics, the new Honda Civic made in Indiana.
GM has added jobs.
Eli Lilly moving pharmaceutical manufacturing from China to the United States, $27 billion.
You go on and on with good news in Indiana and across the country because of the tariffs.
Our country was cold as ice a year ago, and now we have the hottest country in the world.
This is the hottest country in the world.
Nobody even close.
Wow.
Even this last trip that I made.
Yeah, it was like 95 degrees today, actually.
We went from being left at all over the world.
And now we're the hottest country in the world by far.
Dan, go ahead, please.
Yes, sir, Mr. President, I think when you look at the system that you've laid out,
it's an idea in your executive order of a layer defense.
So you have initial ground-based missile interceptors,
which are made by some of the big defense companies.
Lockheed, Martin, Raytheon.
But the beauty of your vision, Mr. President, is that it's layered,
it's open architecture, and it goes up into space.
So this is going to be some of the new defense tech companies
that are very interested in it and can bring missile defense at a cost that I don't think,
you said it, Mr. President, is unimaginable in terms of how much lower the cost is.
So it's all across the board in terms of companies, Senator Kramer,
I just met with a bunch of them last week
that are interested in this
and you said it earlier, Mr. President,
our technology
sector is
head and shoulders above any other place
in the world and they're going to be a key
part of this and I think that's why it makes it so
exciting. Mr. President, I think
one of the things that's, and you alluded to
this, the new autonomous
space age defense
ecosystem is more about Silicon Valley than it is about
big metal, right? And
And so what's excited about this is it makes it available to everybody to participate, to compete, big companies, mid-sized companies, small companies,
but General Guitline is the perfect person, again, to sort all that out because he understands how it has to work together, ultimately.
And Pete, maybe we'll close with you.
We've been discussing this for a long time.
Peter and I used to discuss it when I was going to go on a show that he did very well and did tremendous ratings,
but all he wanted to talk about was the military.
He didn't want to talk about anything else.
We used to talk about this.
How about you closing it out?
Yes, sir.
I mean, like I said, without your vision willing to say and do things
when other people wanted to look away and pretend like the threat didn't exist
or be focused on foreign adventurism and some other threat that we've been told is affecting us,
when you looked at the data, sir, from Russia to the communist, Chinese, and other,
and their capabilities, what they're trying to do to supersede us and threaten us,
How do we find the best innovators, the best military leaders, the best companies, tech companies.
You mentioned open architecture.
That's exactly right.
So multiple companies can pour into this, sir.
It's a layered defense.
So if you miss at one, you catch at the next.
And it integrates existing technologies that can speak to each other.
So it moves quickly while also investing in further ranging space-based interceptors.
So our enemies, our adversaries, are going to pay a lot of attention to this, just like they have to President Trump from day once.
You're defending the golden dome of America.
It's going to benefit my kids and the grandchildren.
All of ours in this room.
So thank you for your leadership.
And we're going to charge it as fast as we can.
Very good.
Great job everybody.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Are they?
Thank you, Mr.
Mr. President.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, everybody.
Thank you, everybody.
Thank you, everybody.
No,
are they still asking about that shit?
Oh my God.
They just,
Bro, they're trying to keep the boomers on high alert.
And President Trump announcing along with Secretary of Defense Pete Hikeseth and Senators Banks, Kramer and Sullivan,
major announcement for the Golden Dome.
This was a vision of President Ronald Reagan's roughly 40 years ago.
So we have the Golden Dome, the gold cards, the golden age of America.
What else is gold?
Bro, the whole thing is now, I guess.
Wow.
This will end up just like the wall, unfinished and a bullshit talking point.
I don't know. Maybe it will be. Maybe not. I mean, like, there's other people that have built walls before. I've heard that Israel has a dome and it seems like it works usually. And so maybe it's a good idea. I don't know. I mean, like, I could see it being like a good investment if it means that you can spend less money on like having acted. Like the logic of it, I think works, right? Where it's like you have this like this force field effectively, right? It's not. But just, you know, as a metaphor.
that now you need less time that you need to spend actively watching it, right?
So, like, if you have a fence, you don't need as many guards
because you've got the fence that's going to stop at least some of them.
So if it's something that, like, you know, and also, I don't even think this,
this is wishful thinking.
I don't even think this is going to happen.
But, like, theoretically, this would be good, right?
I mean, it would be theoretically good.
You know, you already have that, right?
Well, I mean, not the way that they have it, right?
I mean, obviously not the same way.
Yeah, you can AFK missile defense?
Yeah, clearly that's what the goal is, right?
That's what the mindset is.
The wall will be finished after one big beautiful bill passes.
The funding is in the bill.
Yeah, that bill's not going to pass.
I'm sorry to say it's not going to happen.
Like, there's too many different things in the bill.
It's not going to happen.
They're going to have to spread it out.
It's a huge fucking, I think a tactical error is it's just, it's too big.
There's too many things happening and bills need to be smaller.
wrong? Okay, yeah, I think that they're not going to pass it unless they have enough to just completely do it unilaterally without having to rely on any degree of cooperation. That's number one.
Or the other way that they pass it is if they just straight up have to cut it up into like four or five different pieces, which is what I think they're probably going to have to do.
Or at least two or three different pieces. That's probably what will happen.
and size doesn't matter oh that's what people say but uh it turns out in a lot of cases it does
so uh yeah there you go they should just legalize weed and tax it well they do in a lot of places
uh yeah what are you talking about that's exactly what happened and uh yeah anyway let's go back
yeah i mean in general like the space force everything like that it's kind of hard to say
you know like really where this is going but uh i find it to be pretty fucking interesting
i'll definitely tell you that
