The president announced his intention to “resurrect” the U.S. shipbuilding industry, starting with the creation of a new White House Office of Shipbuilding. “We used to make so many ships. We don’t make them anymore very much, but we’re going to make them very fast, very soon. It will have a huge impact,” Trump said.

Trump informed Jason Hartley, a young man in attendance at the president's speech on Capitol Hill, that his application to West Point has been accepted. DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old cancer survivor who aspires to become a police officer and was made an honorary Secret Service agent moments earlier, went over and high-fived Hartley. Daniel and Hartley appeared to be examples of Trump highlighting America’s youth looking to serve the United States.

WASHINGTON—After Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was ejected from the House chamber, he said that he “was making it clear to the president that he had no mandate to cut Medicaid.” Green said he wanted the president “to know that his budget calls for deep cuts in Medicaid.” The congressman seemed to be referring to the budget proposed by House Republican leadership that has put the program’s future funding in question. Both Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) have said that Medicaid won’t face cuts. Green was also asked whether yelling during Trump’s speech was the best way to get his message across. “It is the best way to get it across to a person who uses his incivility, who uses his incivility against our civility,” Green responded. The Texas congressman, who was ejected after shouting and raising his cane during Trump’s speech, also said that he was “willing to suffer whatever punishment is available to me.” He added that punishment was “worth it to let people know that there are some of us who are going to stand up against this president’s desire to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.” Trump has said he wouldn’t touch any of those programs.
