00:00There's a lot of work to do, and the president's hard at it, so why don't I take a few questions?
00:03Caroline.
00:04What can you say to the Jewish community today to ensure that the White House is doing everything they can to keep them safe after the horrific attack in Boulder,
00:11and also the two Israeli embassy staff who were targeted just last week here in our nation's capital?
00:18Yeah, we have seen two horrific cases of anti-Semitic violence in our country in the last two weeks,
00:23and it is unacceptable to this president and this White House.
00:27And rest assured to all Jewish Americans across our great country, this president has your back.
00:32And he's not going to allow anyone to take part in violent terrorism, acts of terrorism, in our country.
00:40And that's what this case in Boulder, Colorado, is being investigated as.
00:43Kudos to our FBI director, Kash Patel, for immediately calling this a targeted terrorist attack.
00:49That's clearly what it was.
00:50But I'd also like to point out that this administration has done more than any administration to curb this violence and to curb illegal immigration.
00:59We secured our border in record time, but we're also tightening up our visa process and our legal immigration process.
01:06And we know that this individual, this terrorist, was allowed into this country by the previous administration,
01:12was foolishly given a tourism visa, and then was illegally allowed to stay.
01:17These individuals are going to be deported, and we're not going to tolerate such violence in our country.
