0-10
fellow Americans
0-11
I'm joining you today from the deck of
0-14
what will be our nation's newest
0-16
and soon to be commissioned, Gerald
0-19
R Ford and as you can see I'm wearing a
0-22
jacket and I had that they just gave me
0-25
not really used to it but it feels
0-28
awfully good i'm very proud of that
0-29
actually are carriers are the
0-31
centerpiece of American military might
0-34
projecting power and are totally
0-37
unparalleled strength that see this
0-40
beautiful new warship represents the
0-42
future of naval aviation and she will
0-45
serve as a cornerstone of our national
0-48
defense for decades and decades to come
0-51
a famous aviator once wrote that to
0-54
build a truly great ship we shouldn't
0-57
begin by gathering wood cutting boards
1-00
for distributing work but instead by
1-03
awakening within the people a desire for
1-07
the vast and endless sea so true in the
1-11
same way we must continue to renew the
1-14
American spirit in order to rebuild our
1-17
country and we build it we will on
1-21
tuesday before a joint session to
1-23
Congress I laid out of version i hope
1-26
you all watched for how to accomplish
1-29
that national rebuilding my vision
1-33
includes the elimination of the defense
1-35
sequester which has imposed steep cuts
1-39
for military we must give our sailors
1-42
soldiers airmen Marines and Coast
1-44
Guardsmen the tools equipment resources
1-47
and training they need to get the job
1-50
done and get it done right especially in
1-54
these very dangerous times the active
1-58
duty army has been reduced by more than
2-01
85,000 meant since 2009 and we have over
2-06
18,000 fewer active-duty Marines
2-11
Air Force it's the smallest it's been
2-14
since 1947 and their planes are on
2-19
average nearly 30 years old if you can
2-23
believe that our Navy sleep is the
2-26
smallest it's been since world war one
2-29
and that's a long time ago
2-32
frontline navy and marine strike fighter
2-34
aircraft are more likely to be down for
2-36
maintenance than to be in the sky we
2-39
cannot afford to continue down this path
2-42
my budget will give America's armed
2-45
forces the resources they need to
2-47
achieve full and total military
2-49
preparedness to meet any and all global
2-53
challenges and meet them we will
2-57
investing in the military means
3-00
investing in peace because the best way
3-03
to prevent war as George Washington said
3-07
is to be prepared for it
3-10
most importantly an investment in the
3-13
the military is an investment in the
3-14
incredible men and women who serve our
3-17
country in uniform they are the best of
3-20
us
3-21
they are the greatest force for peace
3-23
and justice the world has ever known and
3-26
we will support them every single step
3-29
of the way these are truly exciting
3-32
times amazing opportunities are
3-35
unfolding before us to strengthen our
3-37
military to reboot our economy and to
3-41
bring back our jobs if we all work
3-44
together and put our country first then
3-47
anything is possible let us seize this
3-50
moment and make the most of this
3-51
incredible opportunity for national Reno
3-55
may God bless the men and women of our
3-58
military and may God bless the United
4-01
States of America the country we love
