[00:00:01]Tonight, you saw the very worst and the very best of this country. You saw the very worst by the actions of that coward that the president just talked about.

[00:00:10]But you also saw the very best because you saw law enforcement do exactly what they're supposed to do. And and you'll see the videos come out, I expect, very shortly, and you'll see law enforcement do exactly what we want them to do. And so I echo what Mr. President what President Trump just said that we are extraordinarily grateful and appreciative of the men and women of law enforcement that that did their jobs tonight, including one who was who was injured. Um, this investigation is ongoing. I expect you will see charges filed shortly. Uh, the charges should be self-evident given the conduct, but but as you'll hear, um, there will be multiple charges surrounding the shooting, around the possession of firearms, and and anything else that we can get uh get on this guy. Um the investigation is is obviously ongoing and just started. There is federal law enforcement already working on search warrants and doing their job and I don't want to get ahead of them uh and and don't want to get ahead of the work that they're doing even as we speak. Director Patel and I were were just on the crime scene um a short while ago and everybody in this room should rest assured that the Metropolitan Police Department, the FBI, Secret Service um everybody's on the scene doing their job. Um, I know that the the police chief is going to give an update from the scene as soon as we're finished here and and I obviously will lead the that lead the details of what of what they have learned to him. But in the meantime, I just want to thank uh thank everybody in this room for the courage and I want to thank President Trump for his for his words and and I promise you justice will be served. Thank you, Dr. Patel.

[00:01:49]>> Thank [clears throat] you, General.

[00:01:50]Thank you, Mr. President, the president's absolutely right. You saw the best resolve of American law enforcement because you, Mr. President, inspire them 24/7, 365. You give them the resources that they need. And you know, they know that you have their back. And that is a changing dynamic in this country. And that's why you saw brave Secret Service agents respond immediately, swiftly, subdue, and take down the suspect and safeguard the lives of thousands of individuals at that hotel. thanks to our inter agency partnership with the Department of Homeland Security and the Metropolitan Police Department. The FBI was rapidly deployed onto the scene, took over the evidence response unit, um is examining all the ballistics that were found on scene to include the long gun and the shell casings. We are conducting witness interviews as we speak. You will hear from our team on the scene there with the mayor and the head of the FBI field division there. But please note what the attorney general has just said reigns no truer. You saw the very best of America tonight. the very best unite us at a time of uncertainty because we have leadership here with the president, the vice president that backs law enforcement and the men and women that I shook their hands on the scene today could not have been prouder to show up on scene. And as the attorney general said, make no mistake, we are conducting witness interviews. If you have any information, any information whatsoever related to this event, 1800 call FBI.

[00:03:06]1800 call FBI. No piece of information is too small. No piece of information is inadequate. We will evaluate it all. We will also be conducting interviews of those that were there. And if any of those individuals um have information, please come forward to law enforcement or the FBI or the Metropolitan Police Department. We will be examining this individual's background thoroughly. That process has already started and we are going to ensure that he was either a lonewolf actor or anyone else that was responsible. We will analyze all evidence immediately to make sure that we safeguard this country. Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, thank you for your leadership.
