War Secretary Pete Hegseth will deliver remarks tonight, alongside SpaceX founder Elon Musk at the SpaceX headquartes in Brownsville, Texas.

The stop in Texas as part of his “Arsenal of Freedom” tour will mark Hegseth’s third major public speech since taking office last year.

“These engagements underscore the urgent priority of this administration: ensuring our warfighters have the cutting-edge, American-made equipment they need to dominate any battlefield. American manufacturing is back,” the Department of War said in a press release.

“This tour is intended to fuel a revival of our Defense Industrial Base, ensuring it can supply America’s finest with technologically superior products at the speed of relevance. This guarantees our dominance not just for today, but for generations to come.“

Earlier on Monday, Hegseth visited the Lockheed Martin facility in Fort Worth, Texas, where he met with and delivered remarks to the veteran and civilian employees who produce American military aircraft.
