He has superhuman energy, no days off.
And in addition to my day job of being America's ambassador and chief of protocol of the United States, which is a 24-7 job because
Every world leader wants to come in and see President Trump.
They all love him.
They all want to have face time with him.
And my office and I, and I've got an extraordinary team, we handle all of those diplomatic engagements for the president, the vice president, and the secretary of state.
But in addition to that day job, the president has also
honored me and blessed me with a position as his administration's representative for all of the big US-hosted events, including America 250, but also the FIFA World Cup we have coming next year, and the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
I haven't even had time to think about the Olympic Games yet, Steve.
But all of these great big US-hosted events are coming down the pike, and we are now in the midst of America 250.
What you saw back in June was the first of several military anniversaries that the president is absolutely intent on celebrating because America's greatness, America's superpower status, none of that would be possible without 250 years of America's military greatness.
So back in June, we had Army 250 and you saw that spectacular military parade.
Tomorrow, we are going to be celebrating Navy 250.
And I know how much this means to you personally, Steve, as a former naval officer.
We're going to put on quite the celebration for you, for everybody who's put on that naval uniform over the last 250 years, for the American people, and really for a truly global audience.
Here's what we've got prepared.
You saw what we did with the Army.
Well, for the Navy, it's that in the water and more.
So we are going to have about 20,000 sailors present.
We are doing this at Naval Station Norfolk, as they say, Norfolk.
