Saturday is when the search was going on.
It was late Saturday night moving into Easter morning when the actual rescue took place.
And apparently, according to Axios, President Trump said the weapons system officer gave a short unusual message over his radio after ejecting from the aircraft.
He said, power be to God.
A US defense official confirmed Trump's account, but said the exact phrase was God is good.
People who know the officer say that he was a religious person and it made sense for him to say that.
And the defense official confirmed that account.
It was not completely clear early on.
We stuck with it and verified he was alive and not captured.
And those who knew him said he's religious.
One of the ways they were able to identify who it was that was talking is because he said God is good, which is just, just crazy and super American and wonderful in every way.
And if it doesn't make you want it, this whole story doesn't make you want to pick up an American flag and start waving it.
I don't know what's wrong with you.
