Before we begin, I want to express the anguish and the horror of our entire nation at the terrorist attack yesterday in our nation's capital, in which a savage monster gunned down two service members in the West Virginia National Guard who were deployed as part of the DC task force, which has done such an incredible job.
I mean, until yesterday, we literally had no incidents for many months.
It was the safest place imaginable, and this is a different kind of crime.
This is a really bad crime.
Millions of Americans are praying for those heroes and their families.
And I must unfortunately tell you that just seconds before I went on, right now, I heard that Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia, one of the guardsmen that we're talking about, highly respected, young, magnificent person, started service in June of 2023, outstanding in every way.
She's just passed away.
She's no longer with us.
She's looking down at us right now.
Her parents are with her.
It's just happened.
She was savagely attacked.
She's dead.
She's now with us.
Incredible person.
Outstanding in every single way in every department.
That's horrible.
As you know, the other young man is fighting for his life.
He's in very bad shape.
He's fighting for his life, and hopefully, we'll get better news with respect to him.
And the monster that did this is also in serious condition.
But we won't even talk about him.
As you may know, DHS has confirmed that the suspect is an Afghan national flown here by the previous administration, who was such a bad administration.
And I have a picture of a plane.
This is what it looked like when they came in with total bedlam.
Do you remember that period of time?
Total bedlam.
People crammed onto the plane.
And the toughest, meanest, most capable physically got on the plane.
Not the people that we were looking for or that they wanted to bring in.
Here's a picture for you.
Just take a look at that plane standing on top of each other, sitting on top of each other.
This is what we had under the Biden administration.
That whole thing should have never, ever happened.
And with that, President Trump announced that he will, that the U.S. will permanently pause some migration from poorer countries after the D.C. National Guard shootings.
That's what we're going to be talking about this morning.
