Timothy Hale. John McHugh. Billy Cressman. This anthem means a lot to me because it's what held us together. Against the odds, our faith that our days of this nation will be renewed is still there.

Freedom ain't free, no, it comes with a price. Rest in peace, Charlie, can't believe they took your life. Didn't make it back home to your children and wife. By any means, we have to keep freedom of speech alive. Hey, rest in peace, Corey, all the fires that you fight. To the cops and military that been fighting day and night. So we could have liberty and our God-given rights. To all the mothers and fathers that's just trying to protect their child. Hey, freedom worth dying for. Dreams worth fighting for. God got us, I promise, that's the reason I smile. Protesting with our voice and our presence and our words. We ain't killing people for disagreeing, man, that's absurd.

Went up to number one over the weekend. Backed off a little bit. Everybody go to iTunes and download it. We're trying to not just drive this to number one, as we've already done, but keep it up there. Anthem of the Free, or you can hit the, what is it, the QR code? Is that what it's called, a QR code? Hit the QR code on your set and send it there. The President of the United States is coming out in a moment. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the Secretary of Navy Phelan, all there. Talk about a massive shipbuilding program.

How does the Trump-class battleship differ from previous models?

Donald Trump 2:35

The Trump-class, I guess, battleship? Captain Fennell joins us. Captain Fennell, can you give us a few moments before the president comes out at Mar-a-Lago? You've been the number one advocate of this. We have a big problem in the United States Navy about shipbuilding and the size of the fleet and the composition of the fleet. What is it and what do you hope to hear from the president of the United States, sir?

Unknown 2:59

Well, Steve, first of all, thanks for having me on, and Merry Christmas. I think for many of us that have been advocating for restoring America's maritime power that's been basically gutted for the last 35 years, today is an early Christmas present because I expect the president to come out with the members of the cabinet you've mentioned, and they're going to announce kind of a new shipbuilding program, and they're going to lead off with the announcement of this new, what they're calling a battleship, And it's going to be probably labeled the Trump class. And the first ship of the class I've heard is going to be called the USS Defiant. And it's based upon the Arleigh Burke destroyer class of ship that we have currently.

Unknown 3:41

We've had since the 80s. We have 74 of them. But this is going to be, I think, substantially larger, more survivable. And then there's going to be announcement of other ships that are going to join this. And I think what's really important is that we're finally getting a president of the United States to stand up and say America is a maritime and naval power that And we're going to focus on shipbuilding, shipyards, dry docks, and reversing the last 40 years of degradation with the failures of the Littoral Combat Ship class, the failure of the Zumwalt class, the massive problems we've had with the Ford class carriers, the problem with the cancellation of this recent Constellation class frigate here in the last two weeks.
