00:00President Trump will host his ninth cabinet meeting of the year alongside his incredible

00:04cabinet who continue to deliver for the American people at a record pace. Later in the afternoon

00:11tomorrow, the president will make an announcement in the Oval Office on his initiative to create

00:15Trump accounts to give the next generation of Americans a jumpstart on savings. It will be a

00:21very exciting announcement indeed, especially for all of the parents across the country with young

00:26children and babies. On Thursday, President Trump will host the presidents of the Republic

00:31of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo to sign the historic peace and economic agreement

00:37that he brokered. On Thursday night, the president and the first lady will celebrate one of America's

00:42greatest traditions, the lighting of the national Christmas tree on the ellipse. And on Friday,

00:49President Trump will attend the FIFA World Cup final jaw at the Kennedy Center. You all

00:53will be seeing and hearing from the president every day this week. So you have me today and then he

00:57will take on the rest of the week himself. Next, I would like to address the horrific tragedy that

01:03took place in our nation's capital that last week. A foreign terrorist that the Biden administration

01:09failed to properly vet ambushed two members of the West Virginia National Guard who were honorably

01:16serving here to keep their residents and visitors of Washington, D.C. safe. U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant

01:23Andrew Wolfe was severely wounded in the attack and remains hospitalized while he continues to fight

01:29for his life. Tragically, U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom died of her wounds. She was just 20 years old.

01:37President Trump and the entire White House are praying for Andrew's full recovery at the request of

01:43his parents and their personal phone call with the president over the weekend. And we are keeping Sarah's

01:49family and friends in our prayers during this unimaginably difficult time. Sarah and Andrew

01:55represent the very best of America, two young patriots who were willing to put on the uniform

02:01and risk their lives in defense of their fellow Americans. Both of them truly embody the profound

02:07words spoken by Jesus Christ in the gospel. Greater love has no one than this, to lay down one's life

02:14for one's friends. Sarah and Andrew are heroes and we will never forget their sacrifice. That means

02:21ensuring the monster responsible for this atrocity is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and

02:27faces the most severe punishment possible. It also means reckoning with why this atrocity was allowed to

02:34happen in the first place so that it may never occur again. Here are the facts. The terrorist who is

02:40gunned down, who gunned down American soldiers blocks away from the White House in an ambush was an

02:46Afghan national who was flown into our country by Joe Biden's administration in September 2021 in the

02:53chaotic wake of their botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. One of the most embarrassing moments

02:59in the history of our great country. Joe Biden's historic failure in Afghanistan continues to haunt this

03:05country and our men and women in uniform. Not only did this surrender lead to a suicide bombing that

03:11killed 13 American heroes in Kabul, but now National Guard troops were shot on U.S. soil by the same kind

03:19of enemy. We continue to live with the deadly consequences of Joe Biden's horrific leadership.

03:25Nearly 100,000 Afghans were recklessly released into the United States with little to no vetting.

03:31There was no regard for the disorder and violence that this would unleash on American communities and American

03:37culture. Reportedly, thousands of these strangers and unknown individuals were flagged to the Biden

03:43administration for national security, public safety and fraud concerns. But the terrifying truth is that the

03:50Afghanistan debacle is just a small part of Democrats' complete and total betrayal of the American people

03:56during the Biden years. The tragedy that we just witnessed the day before Thanksgiving is a reminder

04:02that untold thousands of terrorists, gang members and criminals were invited into our country and

04:08remain here to this very day. The border is now secure, thanks to President Trump. But the threat in our

04:15interior remains real and urgent. These public safety threats are already inside our land. And President

04:22Trump was elected on a promise to find and remove them. And he has already taken significant steps and

04:28made significant progress towards fulfilling this promise.
