next month. this budget will be a public safety and national security budget. very much based on those two with pnty of other things but very strong. and it will include an historic increase in defense spending to rebuild the depleted military of the united states of america at a time most needed. [ applause ] and you ll be hearing about that tomorrow night in great detail. this is a landmark event, a message to the world, in these dangerous times of american strength, security and resolve. we must ensure that our courageous servicemen and women have the tools they need to deter war and when called upon to fight in our name only do one thing, win. we have to win. we have to start winning wars again. i have to say when i was young in high school and college,
