This is what President Biden said or tried to say:
“I just want to thank you both. And I want to thank the sec-, the, the uh former general. I keep calling him general. My, my, uh, the guy who runs that outfit over there. Uh, I want to make sure we thank the secretary for all he’s done to try to implement what we just talked about and for recommending these two women for promotion. Thank you all. May God bless you all and may God protect our troops.”
