00:00:00,790 --> 00:00:02,901
Hey everyone , I want to take a short 

2
00:00:02,901 --> 00:00:05,012
moment to provide some clarity on our 

3
00:00:05,012 --> 00:00:06,901
efforts to ensure that our public 

4
00:00:06,901 --> 00:00:09,179
facing content honors our war fighters , 

5
00:00:09,179 --> 00:00:11,234
our mission , and reflects President 

6
00:00:11,234 --> 00:00:12,957
Trump and Secretary Hag Seth's 

7
00:00:12,957 --> 00:00:15,012
priorities . Over the past few weeks 

8
00:00:15,012 --> 00:00:17,149
we've taken action to identify and 

9
00:00:17,149 --> 00:00:19,860
archive DEI content from our websites 

10
00:00:20,110 --> 00:00:22,110
and social media platforms . The 

11
00:00:22,110 --> 00:00:24,629
previous administration's zealous and 

12
00:00:24,629 --> 00:00:27,989
destructive commitment to DEI not only 

13
00:00:27,989 --> 00:00:30,860
divided our nation and weakened our 

14
00:00:30,860 --> 00:00:32,750
force , but it also reduced our 

15
00:00:32,750 --> 00:00:35,029
country's finest to their immutable 

16
00:00:35,029 --> 00:00:37,580
characteristics . Without question , 

17
00:00:38,029 --> 00:00:41,470
this task was an arduous but incredibly 

18
00:00:41,470 --> 00:00:44,189
important undertaking . We enforced an 

19
00:00:44,189 --> 00:00:46,349
aggressive timeline for our DOD 

20
00:00:46,349 --> 00:00:49,110
services and agencies to comb through a 

21
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:52,180
vast array of content while ensuring 

22
00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:55,779
that our force remains ready and lethal 

23
00:00:56,270 --> 00:00:58,389
every now and then because of the 

24
00:00:58,389 --> 00:01:01,069
realities of AI tools and other 

25
00:01:01,069 --> 00:01:03,790
software , some important content was 

26
00:01:03,790 --> 00:01:06,309
incorrectly pulled offline to be 

27
00:01:06,309 --> 00:01:08,550
reviewed . We want to be very , very 

28
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:11,550
clear history is not DEI . 

29
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:14,769
When content is either mistakenly 

30
00:01:14,769 --> 00:01:17,290
removed or if it's maliciously removed , 

31
00:01:17,540 --> 00:01:20,139
we continue to work quickly to restore 

32
00:01:20,139 --> 00:01:23,540
it . We are so proud of our nation's 

33
00:01:23,540 --> 00:01:25,980
heroes and our heritage we honor the 

34
00:01:25,980 --> 00:01:28,339
accomplishments of our war fighters and 

35
00:01:28,339 --> 00:01:30,489
the content of their character . 

36
00:01:31,169 --> 00:01:33,940
Americans past and present are the 

37
00:01:33,940 --> 00:01:36,260
greatest people the world has ever 

38
00:01:36,260 --> 00:01:38,260
known , and we live in the greatest 

39
00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:40,589
country the world has ever known . And 

40
00:01:40,589 --> 00:01:43,750
our strength now and has always been 

41
00:01:43,750 --> 00:01:45,819
our unity and shared purpose .
