Almost 45,000 pounds of cocaine, pure cocaine, uncut, and 3,800 pounds of marijuana. Congratulations again to the Coast Guard. You have done Incredible work, Admiral, and your team, Captain, in securing these drugs. This team, with all the agencies I just mentioned, used drones, aircraft and ships to interdict the traffickers off the coast of Peru, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. What they did to saved countless American lives. Countless lives. This cocaine would have been distributed throughout our country and perhaps throughout our world. (04:12–04:28)
