"We don't have a defense industrial base that can provide enough munitions for the United States and our partners to secure ourselves." Dan Caldwell 🇺🇸 warns that providing weapons for every war in the world has finally depleted America's munitions stockpile... and we cannot build replacements fast enough.

Phillip: The budget request has nothing to do with the conditions on that ship. HIs job is to run the defense department with the budget it has today. And so with the budget that they have today, he advised the president to go into a war. And here we are with our munitions depleted, we have ships that are out to sea for historic amounts of time. What is the explanation for that? Lyman: I didn't hear a single concern about munitions being depleted when Joe Biden was sending them to Ukraine Phillip: Republicans complained all day long about Ukraine buying munitions from the United States… but how can you do that and then ignore the fact that that this war that we are fighting right now has, in fact, depleted our munitions. Lyman: Iran is a direct threat to the United States versus Ukraine, we’re fighting a proxy war against a nuclear power with Russia. That's a big difference.

Leavitt: "With respect to munitions, the United States has more than enough capability to not only successfully execute Operation Epic Fury but to go much further. We have weapons stockpiles in places that many people in this world don't even know about. Unfortunately we had a very stupid and incompetent leader in this White House for four years."

🚨 JUST NOW: SecWar Pete Hegseth PUMMELS traitor Democrat Rep. for claiming the US has "depleted" their weapons stockpiles Democrats are trying to give a morale boost to our ENEMIES, in public!

NATO's Rutte: We are getting better. But one of the ways to deal with this is indeed to make maximum use of the transatlantic defense industrial base. That means companies from France and companies from Türkiye investing in the defense industrial base in the United States, but also the United States saying, "How can we co-produce with our partners in Europe?"

We are making up for lost time. The Biden Administration DID NOT DELIVER—they did NOT focus on developing the industrial base that we need in order to ensure that we have munitions for the foreseeable future. President Trump and Secretary Hegseth are delivering."

SECRETARY RUBIO: One of the areas I think we can definitely cooperate on is the defense industrial base. It is clear to the world that we simply are not able to produce munitions today at a rate necessary for future needs. That’s something that has to be addressed.

ZELENSKYY: We can destroy all kinds of drones and lot of different missiles. But we still don't have our own anti-ballistic system in our defense shield. We will build it, but we need time for this. And during this time, we are losing people. Until the moment we produce our European anti-ballistic system, we need support from United States. What can we give United States? All the things that we have and that United States doesn't. For example, software, radars, systems of electronic warfare, cheap interceptors, AI drones, lot of different kinds of drones, and so on. But we don't have enough anti-ballistic systems, and United States does. What do we want? We want to share. We want to give everything that we have. We remember that United States helped us from the very beginning of this war. Of course, we are very grateful, and we are ready to share what we have.

.Under Secretary of War Michael Duffey “Yesterday’s announcement is such a demonstration that President Trump and Secretary Hegseth are committed to REBUILDING the military and revitalizing the defense industrial base so that, now and for the future, we will have the weapons we need... We have convinced industry—not just Raytheon, but Lockheed and the Patriot announcement two weeks ago—to invest billions of dollars of their own money to build the workforce, the supply chains, and the factories that we need to get multiples of production of these key munitions.”

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Trump stated that the U.S. has not halted military aid to Ukraine, but needs to ensure it has enough weapons for its own defense. When asked why shipments were paused, he replied: “We haven’t stopped. We are supplying weapons, a lot of them. We're working with Ukraine, trying to help. But Biden drained our own stockpiles giving them weapons, and we need to make sure we have enough for ourselves.”

Secretary Hegseth BLEW UP the “depleted munitions” and losses narrative pushed by Democrat Rep. Pete Aguilar. AGUILAR: “The depleted munitions have been a subject of some of the discussions that you’ve even heard here today.” “With respect to stockpiles around the world, key regions like the Indo-Pacific and the Middle East — Secretary Hegseth, what are you doing to support the involved services to recap their losses?” HEGSETH: “We’re submitting a $1.5 trillion budget that will remake the department and ensure that every warfighter in the future has exactly what they need and we’re never in a fair fight.” “And I take issue with the characterization that munitions are ‘depleted’ in a public forum.” “That’s not true.” “And ultimately we have all the munitions needed to execute what we need to execute and we’re going to ensure that we supercharge that going into the future.”

Palantir's Shyam Sankar on why America's defense industrial base is broken and how we fix it: "The industrial base that won World War 2 and the early Cold War was not a defense industrial base. It was an American industrial base." "Chrysler was the prime contractor on the Minuteman. They built missiles and minivans. General Mills, the cereal company, built torpedoes." "It is only a consequence of having won the Cold War that we had this great schism that divided our industrial base and put our defense providers on the Galapagos Islands." "If we're clear-eyed about deterring broader conflict, it will require us to reimagine how every company is equally invested in freedom and prosperity."

BANNON: The NDAA can’t pass as is. Merging the defense industrial base of Israel in the U.S. cannot happen. And if your congressman votes for that, he should be turfed. We have to remain an independent country. We certainly can’t, and we’re not going to, merge the industrial base. This just cannot happen. We have to have our own military industrial base. You’re a free and independent nation. Deal with who you want to deal with. You’re not going to be merged into our industrial base.

“Somebody has to say enough is enough,” Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) says, adding that he is “not going to write a blank check” to the Defense Department to continue funding operations in the Middle East. “We have already funded munitions stockpile amounts,” he says. “And what I am not going to do is continue the pattern, like we continued in Iraq and Afghanistan, of throwing good money after bad and constantly funding conflicts that never end and will not end up in a good result for America.”
