We had a stated goal of 355 ships. that goal was increased to 381 last year, even though we keep declining and can't execute on the 355 that we had for 10 years. Assuming that we could execute on it, there's a 30-year plan that'll cost the taxpayer $1.2 trillion or $40 billion a year to execute on a plan that we can't execute anyway. But that's the shipbuilding plan.

That's how you get from 296 just to 381. Imagine how many autonomous ships that you can have, right? And the capabilities and how much more powerful the Navy will be with manned and unmanned ships working together, and you have much more unmanned ships patrolling the waters, all being controlled by humans. You keep people safe. Like, that's the other thing.

And I sit in front of congressmen and women and senators, and I go through the stats that we just went through. Like, here's why we can't compete with the Chinese. Because the Secretary of Defense just came on, just like I was on the news, he said, Yeah, the Chinese can take out all our aircraft carriers in 20 minutes with their hypersonic missiles. So here's all the facts.

Like that's the Secretary of Defense. That's not me making up a number. Here's the shipbuilding. Here's why if we lose an aircraft carrier, forget about the 5,000 people for a second. You can't get another one. So these are just facts. But take all that and throw it out the window, right? We now as a country have the technology, which means we have the capability to send robots into combat.

That should mean that we have the responsibility to do that. No longer should we send people if we have the opportunity to send a robot, whether it's a robotic ship, whether it's a robotic plane. We have a responsibility to keep people safe. I mean, you've seen it, I've seen it. Combat's real. It's not what you see on a Hollywood movie.

It's not anything you want people to have to go, I don't want my son to have to go through it. That's why we're building what we're building. And so we go through the stats all day long. You're not getting another aircraft carrier. We still need aircraft carriers, but let's keep those 5,000 people safe. Let's keep them out of the weapons engagement zone.

Let's have them controlling thousands of autonomous boats and ships and everything else that are patrolling the waters and overwhelming our officers.
