We have a president that doesn't want to get into forever wars. He doesn't like war, but he knows his responsibility is to defend the freedom of this country. And that's what he's working to do. So I know it's a president that's, that it will, is willing to use the American military to defend our freedom and American lives, which I'm proud of that. (02:19–02:28)
