fighting force in the history of the

beautiful Christmas Day in the United
States I know it's a great sacrifice for
you to be away from your families but I

thoughts and prayers we're all praying
for you we love what you do we love your
work
you're amazing people from Anderson Air
Force Base in Guam I want to welcome the
soldiers of Task Force Talon
Lieutenant Colonel Johannes Castro I
understand that as part of the unit's
asset protection responsibilities Task
Force Talent played a critical role in
securing of protecting assets and
personnel when typhoon tutu struck
earlier this year I heard it was a big
one one of the biggest that was one of
the strongest storms evident hit a u.s.
territory in fact and we want to thank
you for the incredible work everybody's
talking about it they're all very
grateful so thank you for that
incredible work I also want to welcome
the Marines from attack squadron 223
known as the great American Bulldogs
your squadron faced adversity before
deploying when hurricane Florence struck
your home base at Cherry Point yet the
Bulldogs were ready to go and within 48
hours of arriving in Bahrain
to squadron with flying combat missions
you were back very quickly since then
you delivered thousands of pounds of
ordnance against Isis Lieutenant Colonel
Weinmann these achievements are a
lasting credit to the unstoppable
tenacity of the Bulldogs and I just want
to thank you all that was a great job
you've done and I know it's a great job
you will be doing for a long time thank
you very much appreciate it
joining us from Bahrain is Captain
Benjamin Allbritton chief of staff of
naval forces Central Command captain the
fifth fleet in our combined maritime
forces strike fear into the adversaries
by projecting the awesome strength of
American power our mighty naval forces
are unrivaled anywhere in the world not
even close and as you know with our new
and very very increased military budgets
we're building you more ships we're
building a lot of different things for
all of our forces seven hundred and
sixteen billion dollars so I know you're
very happy that's a lot of good
equipment and you see it coming already
we're also pleased to welcome the three
hundred and seventy ninth Air
Expeditionary wing from the United
States Air Force the 379th
is the largest expeditionary air wing
anywhere in the world performing tens of
thousands of daring missions every year
in fact the 379th flies nearly 20% of
all daily sorties and dispenses more
fuel than any of you think of it of the
next five Air Force bases combined
that's a big operation Brigadier General
Jason Armacost is the commanding officer
and I want to say Merry Christmas to you
and the airmen of the guard and the say
at the Grand Slam wing and it is exact
when I look at your work it truly is a
grand
slam wing it's great job fellas we
really appreciate in folks finally
joining us from Juneau Alaska are the
men and women of the Coast Guard
district 17 lieutenant Matthew speedo is
the senior Coast Guard officer on call
in the last year district 17 has saved
265 lives assisted more than 600 others
in distress conducted 275 pollution
responses 156 law enforcement boardings
and saved nearly 20 million dollars of
property district 17 proves that the
United States Coast Guard is always
ready and I've been saying about the
Coast Guard when I was in Texas I've
never seen anything like it they save
thousands of lives
the Coast Guard is very special and if
there was ever a score or branding I
think the Coast Guard in this country
would have probably increased by the
highest score of any group I'm talking
about businesses I'm talking about
anything the branding of the cup because
of what you did in the Hurricanes in
Texas and in Florida and in Puerto Rico
all over you were incredible we want to
thank you very much it was a great job
to every service member listening and to
those standing watch all around the
world it is because of your service and
your courage and your willingness to be
away from the ones you love that
American families can celebrate at home
and safety and in peace it's an
incredible thing you do you're
incredible people on behalf of the First
Lady and the entire Trump family we
thank God for each and every one of you
and let's have a little fun now well go
around and you can ask me any question
you want that doesn't mean I'll let them
do it but you I can do it okay so why
don't we start with the army Lieutenant
Colonel John Castro John
mr. president I'm Lieutenant Colonel
John Castro the commander of task force
Talent on behalf of the soldiers family
members and contractors of the task
force Talent we wish you a Merry
Christmas and Happy Holidays from the
tropical u.s. territory of Guam as you
conclude a Christmas on this side of the
western Pacific morale remains mine and
our soldiers remain proud to serve our
great nation along with our joint
partners here on Anderson Air Force Base
in the Pacific we are trading remains
high and we remain reigning defense
ready to protect our nation at the first
line of defense sir
breath mr. president no questions on
this side well thank you very much so
John how is it going in Guam how are
things going I've heard it's an
incredible place in terms of a military
operation
two people are terrific that you work
with but how is it doing in Guam
actually that's something we train for
and maintain as part of our readiness I
know when I first became president the
supplies on Guam were very low what are
the first things I heard about they were
really low in terms of virtually every
aspect of supply and now I know years
stocked up to the brim is that correct
absolutely mr. president well but it is
true is pretty low for a period of time
right you had a lot of empty buildings
we fill them up fast yeah thanks a lot
John I appreciate it great job great job
thank you well the Air Force Brigadier
General Jason ARMA Gus and so Jason
how's it going great sir I'd like to
wish you Merry Christmas on behalf of
the 7,000 men and women at Al Udeid Air
Base here in Doha Qatar and the Mission
Continues we are working
24/7 365 on providing Global Strike
intelligence surveillance and
reconnaissance airlift and cargo and
tanker operations including a defensive
space control as well across the
entirety of CENTCOM keeps us busy but we
are one of the strategic locations that
goes Afghanistan Iraq and Syria every
day and the airmen are proud to do so we
also jointly operate here with soldiers
sailors Marines in 28 coalition partners
as part of the K Ock for command and
control so it's a fascinating operation
but we have taken the time to wish merry
christmas' back to you and the people
the United States so how are they doing
in Qatar how are they doing getting
together with Saudi Arabia and UAE and
what's what's the latest word you
probably know better than anybody but
maybe I shouldn't be asking you that
question how are they doing getting
together
do you see anything any signs of hope
well sir I will say that from within
qatar as a host they are fantastic they
take good care of us they burden share
with us they're helping us to improve
our infrastructure and really make this
kind of a crown jewel of a base I you
know we don't track necessarily the
political followings of Saudi Arabian
UAE with regards to Qatar but I will
tell you they're fantastic hosts there
they're great to us and it's a it's a
it's a fascinating place to work and
operate from well that's true it is a
great place that it's an incredible base
as I understand it and we'll get out to
see you one day and thank you very much
fantastic job
thank you yes sir so now we have the
Navy and the Marines together yeah
that's the way it should be right
together and it's fantastic and you're
in Bahrain so maybe I could ask captain
and Lieutenant Colonel maybe you could
say a few words please yes sir good
morning mr. president it's an absolute
honor to speak to you today we really
appreciate this call on behalf of the US
Navy and US Marine Corps and also the US
host our team we want to wish you a
Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2019
I would say know what that no other time
in our history are we more United in our
operations together here in the Central
Command area we also work with our Air
Force brothers and sisters and how you
deed to execute our strategy here in
sitcom is absolutely seamless and you
mentioned your opening about airplanes
and ships and everything else but I'll
tell you the real secret factor to our
success or our people
magnificent sailors like is one Riley
sitting next to me sergeant major Bauer
the commitment they have on a daily
basis to execute the mission is amazing
and that's the real x-factor and that's
what sets our course apart from any
other force in the world well that's
true and I know you do have great
equipment to being sent there but
there's nothing like the personnel you
have to have people to use it plenty of
people have good equipment only if they
buy from us because we have the best
equipment we make the best equipment but
I can tell you this that nobody can use
it like us that's one thing we've seen
and we know it very well we study it
nobody uses it like us so I just want to
thank you please go ahead from sergeant
major Bauer myself just wanted to wish
you and all the American people
especially our families that are back
home homes on the floor they very very
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays I can
tell you sir in your opening you talked
about hurricane Florence and what that
would affect that ad on my unit and I
can tell you all these Marines out here
that are doing these loading these Jets
getting them ready for flight every day
I work them are at 24/7 every single day
of the week and they've done a fantastic
job we couldn't do that without the
American people especially our families
my wife Aminah and sergeant majors wife
Shelly and all the families of 223 they
had our back and they are literally
repairing our homes as we speak
at over 10 whole families to sleep
completely destroyed and it is just a
really representative what link or what
the United States military is all about
coming together came together at the
command and really got got the job done
so it's just my pleasure to be here
serving well that's great and with
Bahrain and with Qatar
six different ways of pronouncing that
from Qatar to Qatar right there's many
many ways of pronouncing it all of them
are acceptable I've said well which one
I guess maybe they like me they say you
could say it anywhere you want but you
know I'm asking them for a lot more
money than they've been paying over the
years for burden-sharing
and those are examples those are two
countries that have the money it's
unlimited money and we're asking them to
put up a lot of money and they're happy
to do it because we're performing a
service like nobody in the world could
perform we're keeping them safe but we
don't want to be subsidizing rich
countries at the disadvantage to us so
that makes me a little bit different
than any other president because nobody
used to ask these questions and if you
look at what's been happening over the
years over many many years over decades
it's rather ridiculous so that's all
changing and that's all good for us so I
just see I'm gonna have two perfect
examples we have Qatar and we have
Bahrain you don't get much wealthier and
they're agreeing to do a lot more than
they've ever done and we're gonna max
out and that'll be good it'll be good
that'll be great for our services it'll
be nice where we can ask for a lot less
money for our military because we're
right now the policeman of the world and
we're paying for it and we can be the
policemen of the world but other
countries have to help us and I think
everybody up there agrees so thank you
very much from Bahrain that's great I
love to see you getting together like
you are you've been together for a long
time you're two groups and you've had a
lot of victories I have flags in the
Oval Office with a lot of stripes from
the Army the Navy the Air Force the
Marines and the Coast
and they all have ribbons I don't know
if the cameras can show you but they all
have some in some cases hundreds of
ribbons from victories we only put up
the victories but we'll only have
victories but we only talk about the
victories so thank you all very much
that's fantastic now we'll go to the
coast guard and we just ordered a Coast
Guard Cutter the an icebreaker
the likes of which nobody's seen before
the bad part is the price the good part
is it's the most powerful in the world
and it can go just about anywhere the
ISIS in big trouble when that when that
thing gets finished it'll go right
through it but it's very expensive but
that's okay we have to get the best but
you folks are gonna be very proud of it
because you've seen it I'm sure it's a
it's a new design highest technology but
with all of the technology it still
needs very thick steel when you get
right down to it right it can be good
technology but you need thick steel it's
like the border wall we still need a
wall they can have all the drones they
want flying up in the air and spinning
around and all the technology in the
world and so I call it bells and
whistles but if you don't have the
wallet does it work with the ice
breakers you need a lot of Steel in
those hulls and you have it it's maxed
out and it's gonna be incredible and
you'll get it fairly soon we gave out
the contract and that's for the Coast
Guard so that's a little Christmas
president we'll call it a Christmas
present to the Coast Guard and thank you
for the great job you did so Matt would
you like to say something Matt yes good
morning president Trump and Merry
Christmas on behalf of district 17 and
all the Coast Guard surrounded here by
some of our watch standers that stand
duty at sector Juneau at the Coast Guard
district and also some of the station
crews that operate out of small boat
station in Juneau and we're just here
and we're ready for any unplanned events
that could be occurring whether it's
search-and-rescue
environmental pollution law enforcement
or any marine safety issues that might
pop up so far we've had a calm day here
in Alaska and we hope that it stays that
way and people stay safe out there on
the waters so how did you do in Alaska
with the recent problem we had with the
big I was a big quake they say we got
lucky very few people hurt nobody died
and it was big it hit it hit the proper
location I guess we have to say how did
you do with it were you involved much
well in Juneau Alaska we we did not get
much of the experience of the earthquake
but some of our members in Anchorage
they did sustained some structural
damage to some of the the buildings
there but luckily there was no injuries
to any of the personnel and everybody
seems to be doing okay things are coming
along quite well we got lucky there was
a really big one but it hit a area that
I guess we were lucky that day things
get a little bit lucky well I want to
wish everybody a really Merry Christmas
a Happy New Year
just remember the people in our country
were very proud of you the country is
doing well we have a little bit of a
shutdown because we believe in walls and
we believe in borders and we believe in
barriers and you know we have a special
country people have to come in through
the legal process not just walk in we
have no idea who they are and we're
stopping drugs at a record rate but we
need some help and the help is the wall
we need a wall to help us otherwise they
just flow through no matter what you do
they just flow through you people know
that better than anybody I know that two
of your groups actually built some very
effective walls and the military built
some very effective walls for me over
the last four weeks on the southern
border and we've held them we had
caravans of people coming up you've been
seeing it and we stopped them we stopped
them cold and they're heading back for
the most part they're heading back or
they're staying in Mexico but I will I
will tell you I know the work you do and
it's been amazing and it's great I will
see you all I know I'll meet you all
I'll see you all but on behalf of the
country Merry Christmas Happy New Year
keep doing the job we're all very proud
of you nobody can do what you do nobody
and we're very proud of you and it's my
honor to send you all that brand-new
equipment whether you get the planes or
the ships or the rifles or any any of
the things you get you're getting the
best in the world we're even doing a
little change in some of the uniforms to
put it mildly right some of the uniforms
I hope you all like them it's gonna mean
you have to be in perfect shape to wear
those uniforms that's one thing but
probably that's good but that's a big
change hasn't been done in 50 years and
we're buying the new uniforms they're
gonna be incredible you know what I'm
talking about right general I see you so
thank you all very much I appreciate it
and the country appreciates it Merry
Christmas
thank you very talented every smart
they're raising interest rates too fast
that's my opinion but I shouldn't have
confidence but I think it'll straighten
they're raising interest rates too fast
because they think the economy's out
there but I think that they will get it
please
I mean the fact is that the economy is
doing so well that they raised interest
rates and that's in the form of safety
the way President Obama didn't do much
of that much easier to run when you have
no interest where we had a very low
interest rate we had a normalized
interest rate I normalized interest rate
means a lot you know it's good for a lot
of people they have money in the bank to
get interest of their money so many
years nobody got interest on their money
so but I have great confidence and I
have great confidence in our companies
we have companies the greatest in the
world and they're doing really well they
have record kinds of numbers so I think
it's a tremendous opportunity to buy
really a great opportunity I can't tell
you where the government's gonna be open
I can tell you it's not gonna be open
until we have a wall offense whatever
they'd like to call it al coholic
whatever they will but it's all the same
thing it's a barrier from people pouring
into our company into our country from
drugs it's a barrier from drugs it's a
very you know there's a problem in this
world today called human trafficking
human trafficking is one of the hard to
believe problems and we're not gonna let
that take place we're not gonna we are
working so hard to catch these
traffickers they're bad people you can't
do it without a barrier we can't do it
without a wall so you have drugs you
have human trafficking
you have illegal people coming into our
country we can't do that
no they are in the caravan 618 people
were very bad in some cases grumman's
wanted for verdict you saw the one man
he said he was wanted for murder I don't
want them in the country
the only way you're gonna do it is to
have a physical barrier meaning the wall
and if you don't have that then what is
not opening yesterday came out a hundred
and fifteen miles worth of wall 115
miles in Texas and it's going to be
built
hopefully rapidly I'm going there at the
end of January for the start of
construction that's a big stretch
because we're talking about 500 to 550
miles so it's a 2,000 mile border but
much of it has mountains and region
where you can't get across so we're
looking at between 500 and 550 so he
gave out 115 yesterday and we gave it
out into great price so we're gonna have
Greg wall there and we have other
sections to give up one other thing
people don't understand or know or
whatever but they might as well as cuz
they're not really tall we've renovated
massive amounts of very good wall wall
that was good but was in bad shape and
so you don't have to replace it but you
have to renovate it and we've renovated
a massive amount of wall and in addition
to that and I think very very
importantly we built a lot of new wall
so it's all being built the new piece
the new section is very very exciting
what's going on there and you'll see it
because in January I'm going there we're
almost having a groundbreaking it's such
a big section it's probably the biggest
biggest section we'll get out so while
we're fighting over funding we're also
building and it's my hope to have this
done completed all 500 to 550 miles to
have it either renovated or brand new by
election time
different people different people highly
bid because we're giving 25 billion
dollars it's already approved but that's
for everything that's for Homeland
Security that includes as we say the
bells and whistles we have a lot of
drones a lot of everything in there plus
we have some wall money but we want the
wall money to be increased because I
want to finish it but what people have
to understand it has been strongly
started a lot of areas if you look at
San Diego it's now almost complete and
interestingly its California which has
been difficult to deal with because of
the the governor very very difficult to
deal with but the people of San Diego
came and they wanted the wall bill in
fact I was going to build it last but
then I determined to us build it they
really wanted it built because if I
built at last it all be screaming for a
wall and you don't hear that but the
wall is beautiful the job they've done
is fantastic so San Diego is largely
built it'll be completed very shortly
but they came to us the people and they
were asking they needed border
protection people people will walk in
through Mexico right into San Diego
right over people's front lawns by the
hundreds and by the thousands and they
came to us they asked for a wall the
only thing that's gonna stop that a
drone isn't gonna stop hi technology's
not gonna stop but the only thing that
stops it's a wall and when the Democrats
talked about a wall doesn't mean
anything well in Israel they had a big
problem they put up a wall 99.99% of the
people were stopped from coming in and
will have the exact same thing
and we have a long long water but we'll
have the exact same thing now there may
be the case of an Olympic champion who
can get over the wall but for the most
part it's you you're not able to do it
very high it's gonna be 30 feet much of
it is 30 feet high some of its lower but
in some areas we have it as high as 30
feet that side that's like a three-story
building so we're making great progress
on renovation on fixing and we're making
great progress on building new wall and
most excitingly we gave out our largest
section yesterday and that work is
starting next week and will haven't
completed fairly quickly they understand
what's happening they want border
security the people of this country want
border security it's not a question of
me I'd rather not be doing shutdowns
I've been at the White House and I love
the White House but I wasn't able to be
with my family I thought it would be
wrong for me to be with my family
my family's in Florida Palm Beach and I
just didn't want to go down and be there
when other people are hurting but it's
gonna all work out but many of those
workers have said to me and communicated
stay out until you get the funding for
the wall these federal workers want the
wall the only one that doesn't want the
wall are the Democrats because they
don't mind open borders but open borders
mean massive amounts of crime I mean the
Democrats don't want it because they
don't want open borders and yet every
one of those Democrats approved the wall
or offense or very very substantial
barriers every single one I don't think
is one but let's assume let's use the
word almost everyone approved a wall or
a fence or exactly what we're talking
about as little as three years ago but
over the years every one of them the
only time they went against it the only
time they went against it there was only
one time when Donald Trump said
want to build the wall as soon as I said
I want to build the wall they were all
against it it's like take another
example take Comey everybody hated Comey
they thought he did a horrible job the
Democrats hated him they were calling
for his resignation they were going for
his firing including Schumer including
Nancy Pelosi until I fired him
and once I fired him everybody said oh
why did you fire him why did you fire
take a look at some of these people this
is what we're doing now take a look at
some of these people literally the day
before I fire them they were saying you
should be fired as soon as I fired him
they said Oh what did you fire before
that was terrible thing to do it's a
disgrace what's happening in our country
but other than that I wish everybody a
very Merry Christmas thank you very much
thank you and hopefully we're making
progress on the funding of the wall or
berry or whatever you want to call
harassment no collusion after two years
no collusion there has been collusion
but it's been by the Democrats but
there's been no collusion and you're
talking about millions and billions and
millions of dollars of wasted money
there's been absolutely no collusion but
there has been a lot of collusion by the
Democrats with Russia and with a lot of
other people that maybe they shouldn't
have been dealing with including very
dishonest people thank you very much
everybody
