00:00And one on Ebrego Garcia, please.
00:03The administration is reportedly inquiring about his return.
00:08Is that to check a box for compliance,
00:11or does President Trump want him back on U.S. soil, or both?
00:15So, as Secretary Rubio said yesterday in the Cabinet meeting,
00:19this administration is not going to publicly discuss
00:22the inside details of our foreign policy and negotiations
00:26with a foreign country.
00:27And in particular, we are not going to allow a district court judge
00:31to try to become the Secretary of State.
00:34Secretary Rubio is the one who, under his leadership and direction
00:38at the State Department, is managing the day-to-day relationship
00:41with El Salvador.
00:43Let's just take a moment, number one, to express our gratitude
00:45to El Salvador for agreeing to take some of the most dangerous terrorists
00:50off of America's streets and to put them into a safe environment
00:54where they cannot continue to engage in acts of terrorism
00:57or coordination with the Maduro regime.
01:00You may have seen recently an FBI assessment that was unclassified
01:05that said that the Maduro regime is using and planning to use
01:09train de Aragua terrorists to carry out assassination-plus on American soil.
01:14Now, very few in this room covered that.
01:17I'll let you all ask yourselves why you didn't cover it
01:19and why your editors didn't assign that story to you.
01:21Something I think you should think about on your own.
01:23But this is an earth-shattering piece of news.
01:26The Biden administration imported the terrorist army that our own FBI assesses
01:30is planning assassination strikes on American soil against critics of the Maduro regime.
01:37Those are the terrorists that President Trump is finding and apprehending
01:41that our Democrat judges and Democrat activists are trying to keep on U.S. soil.
01:46Train de Aragua has the same legal status as Al-Qaeda and ISIS.
01:51MS-13 has the same legal status as Al-Qaeda and ISIS.
01:55These are foreign terrorists operating on our soil.
01:57And our gratitude to El Salvador for agreeing to take custody of these terrorists is immense.
02:02With respect to the case that you mentioned,
02:04there has not even been more evidence that has been made public
02:07of this person's violent, repeated threats and assaults against his spouse.
02:13Someone who had repeated, documented human trafficking and human smuggling offenses.
02:22Somebody that has extensively documented membership in MS-13, a terrorist organization.
02:29And of course, he had MS-13 tattooed on his knuckles.
02:32This is a person that was a clear and present danger to the safety of the American people.
02:37And it is a sad reflection on the state of our media and many of the outlets represented in this room
02:44that you obsessively try to shill for this MS-13 terrorist.
02:51Well, no coverage occurred in your papers about any of the Americans that were raped and tortured
02:57and murdered by the illegals that Biden was importing into our country.
03:02You know, you talk about due process.
03:04The Biden administration made the decision to give extensive due process
03:09to two trained de Aragua terrorists that were apprehended at the border just a couple years ago.
03:18They were two gentlemen.
03:19They were from Venezuela.
03:21They were members of trained de Aragua.
03:23The Biden administration and Border Patrol apprehended them
03:25and made the decision to provide them with extensive due process,
03:31put them onto a program known as supervised release,
03:33and put them on ankle monitors
03:35so that they could go through a lengthy, legal, judicial determination
03:41as to whether these legal aliens who had just set foot on U.S. soil
03:44might want to live in the United States for the rest of their lives.
03:48What was the result of that decision?
03:50What was the result of that choice that was made?
03:52Those two men kidnapped a young girl named Jocelyn Nungary
03:56from her family.
04:00They beat her.
04:01They sexually assaulted her.
04:02They tortured her.
04:03They stripped her.
04:05They murdered her.
04:06And they dumped her body.
04:07That is what the Biden administration's policy was.
04:10Most of your papers never covered her story when it happened.
04:14To the extent that you covered it at all,
04:16it was because President Trump forced you to cover it
04:20by highlighting it repeatedly over and over again.
04:23He had to shame you into covering it.
04:26And each and every one of you that sides over and over again
04:29with these MS-13 terrorists,
04:31to the extent that you have the financial means to do so,
04:33you all choose to live in condos or homes or houses
04:37as far away from these kinds of gangbangers as you possibly can.
04:40If I offered any one of you a rent-free home
04:43with no taxes to pay in any of these gang neighborhoods,
04:46and I said, your neighbors are MS-13 terrorists
04:49or Mexican mafia or Sinaloa cartel or Train de Uruguay,
04:53I couldn't pay you to live there.
04:55But yet you, with your coverage,
04:57are trying to force innocent Americans
04:59to have these people as their neighbors
05:00and that one day their daughter may be abducted
05:03from their home and raped and murdered.
05:05So you're not going to get an ounce of sympathy
05:07from this administration or President Trump
05:09for the terrorists who've invaded our homes and our country.
