Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Turkey's being pardoned today go by the names of
Gobble and Waddle. When I first saw their pictures, I
thought we should send them. Well, I was I shouldn't
say this. I was gonna call him chucking Nancy. But
then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them. I would
never pardon those two people.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
I wouldn't pardon them.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
I wouldn't care what Malani had told me. Darling, I
think it would be a nice thing to do, I
won't do it, Darling.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
If you're listening to a forty seven Morning Update special
edition with Ben ferguson.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
Good Thursday morning, it is Thanksgiving, and thank you for
all of you that are spending some time with us
as we have one tough and important sort of talk
about two National guardsmen have been shot near the White House.
The West Wing went into a lockdown, and now we
know about the suspect who was in the country illegally
from Afghanistan yelling apparently a la akbar during the attack.

(00:51):
I'm gonna give you the details of everything we know
at this moment. It's a forty seven Morning Update and
it starts right now.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Story number one.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
I want to open by talking about what happened in DC.
You have two National guardsmen that were ambushed. We now
know it was because of a Afghan national. We know
that the Afghan national came into the US in twenty
twenty one in our withdrawal from Afghanistan. We know that

(01:20):
the individual, the alleged terrorist gunman who shot the two
National Guard members over status visa craze. Gunman shooting those
two National guardsmen in an ambush near the White House
is a twenty nine year old Afghan national who came
during the chaotic twenty twenty one Afghan withdrawal. He was
lying in wait before he rounded the corner near the

(01:42):
Farragut West Metro station open fire, striking a female guard
in the chest before deliberately trying to execute her, shooting
her in the head. According to law enforcement sources, the
man entered the country under Operation Allies. That would be
Joe Biden, you know, because he never met an legal immigrant.
He didn't say come to America. He quote resettled in Bellingham, Washington.

(02:03):
He fired at instruct the second guard after shooting the
first in the head. A third guard station nearby rushed
the area and took him down. The two armed soldiers
who were patrolling the streets when the suspect launched his
vicious rampage were taken to nearby hospitals in critical condition.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
At the time.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
The suspect was reportedly shot four times. What was he
saying when he was shooting a la lockedbar? Some things
never change in these terrorist attacks. Law enforcement sources to
the fbis initially treating the shooting as a potential act
of terrorism.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
But why did this happen and how did we get here?
Yet again?

Speaker 4 (02:37):
I'm going to tell you I think it's because, yet again,
we are witnessing the dehumanization of our men and women
in uniform. Yet again, we are watching democrats dehumanize our
men and women who protect and defend. Over and over again.
We are witnessing this happen. When Fox News Channel broke

(02:58):
the news, you had them telling the story and in
shock about how we got to this point. And this
is just days after six democratic lawmakers dehumanized our men
and women in uniform, dehumanized the National Guard, And you
wonder what could have motivated this individual. I want you

(03:18):
to listen to the Fox report.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
This is a Fox News alert to National guardsmen in
critical condition tonight after being shot at a targeted attack
just blocks from the White House. The loan suspect is
in custody. Sources telling Fox News that the gunman is
an Afghan national who was let in under Biden and
then overstayed his visa. And this is in just moments ago.

(03:42):
The suspect apparently waited for the guardsman to come around
the corner, then open fire. He shot a female guard
in the chest, then walked up, took her firearm and
shot her point blank in the head. He took her
weapon and fired at other Guard members, hitting one in
the neck, before a third guardsman engaged him and brought

(04:04):
him down. Let's go live now to West Palm Beach
where Fox's Dana Bury McNichol is standing by Danabury. What
has the reaction been from the White House tonight?

Speaker 6 (04:14):
Hi, Jason Good evening.

Speaker 7 (04:15):
Although President Trump is here in Florida, the White House
went on lockdown immediately after that shooting happened. We know
that the President was quickly briefed and then he posted
on truth social updates who he shared the suspect who
shot the two National Guard members. They severely wounded and
will co pay a very seap Price, he wrote, God

(04:37):
bless our great National Guard and all our military and
law enforcement.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
They are truly great people. We know.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
Senator Chuck Schumer, he posted on x He's closely monitoring
the situation and thanking first responders for quickly capturing the
suspect that Fox New's just confirmed as an Afghan national
who came into the United States during Operation Allies Welcome
in twenty twenty one under the administration. Now Lauren's law
enforcement's sources say they believe the male suspect acted alone

(05:06):
in a targeted attacked. Now hundreds of National Guard troops
have been in Washington since August, and earlier this month,
President Trump ordered their deployment to be extended in the
city until at least through February of next year, and tonight,
the Secretary of Warpeede Hegseth said that Trump ordered an
additional five hundred troops.

Speaker 6 (05:25):
To be deployed in DC now. As the news of
the shooting broke, Vice President JD.

Speaker 7 (05:30):
Vance he was addressing service members at Fort Campbell and
Kentucky ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. He asked for prayers
for the two West Virginia National Guard members who are
in critical condition.

Speaker 6 (05:41):
To night in dation.

Speaker 7 (05:41):
You just shared those gruesome details of how this shooting
played out just blocks away from the White House. Now,
the President is not expected to address this shooting on
camera tonight, but tomorrow does have a scheduled call over
the phone with service members, so of course we'll be
bringing you those remarks.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
Just think about everything you just heard there, and then
go back to this question, and the question that all
of you should be asking yourself is how did we
get to a point where this is now the new norm.
It's not just the shooting of the National guardsmen, it's
the tacking of ICE agents. Multiple ICE agents have been shot,
Multiple innocent people have been killed while they were targeting

(06:20):
ICE agents. This is consistent, over and over and over again,
the dehumanizing of our men and women in law enforcement,
over and over and over again. Why is the left
doing this? Because they don't mind it when these people
get shot, they don't mind it when they get killed.

(06:42):
And if you stand up and say the truth about this,
that you don't want these people coming into our country,
they're like, oh, that's islamophobic, and you can't say that,
I'm sorry. This person should have never been let into
this country. This person should have never been allowed to
come in without being vetted. And when you have an
Islamic war cry going out, a la Agbar by a

(07:02):
twenty nine year old Afghan illegal immigrant who opened fire
on US guardsmen just two miles in the White House.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Brought here in twenty twenty one by Joe Biden.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
Multiple law enforcement sources and eyewitnesses confirmed the shooter the
Afghan national scream to allah Agbar while attacking three DC.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
National Guardsmen near the Capitol.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
Witnesses described the chilling Jihadis indicators, Islamic beer to hallmark
of religious Jiadis, repeated shouts of allah Agbar, the signature
war cry using in nearly every major Jihadis attack worldwide.
And of course the media is going to want to
tell you and downplay this and not give you the
story and say it was random or was senseless, or
that we you know, some sort of gun violence, so

(07:42):
we need more gun control. They're going to tell you
all of those things. They're not going to tell you
this a failed US policy. They're not going to tell
you that Joe Biden let this person in. They're not
going to tell you that the person overstayed his visa.
They're not going to tell you that he believes that
we are the infidels, then we must be killed. That's
what Jihadis believe. For more than what I mean, over
a thousand years there were red flags here. Why were

(08:05):
they all ignored? A la akbar, By the way, it's
never coincidence. Alah acbar means Alah's great, not great, the
greatest right, greater than God, greater than your laws, greater
than your country, greater than your life. It's tied directly
to Islamic conquest theology. It appears alongside the Kouran nine
thirty three, which commands Islam to triumph over all other face,

(08:29):
all other face in this country and in the world.
It's been the shouting battle cry in nearly every major
Jiadis attack, including the nine to eleven hijackers, the Paris massacre,
the Pulse nightclub in Orlando in twenty sixteen, the London
Bridge attackers, the Isis execution videos, the twenty twenty five
Easy Jet hijack attempt. It's not a prayer, it's a

(08:49):
psychological warfare. It's a battlefield signal meant to terrorize, intimidate,
and sanctify the attack. When witnesses heard the DC shooters
screaming at mid firefight, they knew it exactly what it meant.
They knew it was a terrorist attack. They knew it
was going to be someone that is Muslim. But they're
going to say none of this on the news. They're
going to make this go away so fast. These the

(09:13):
clear connection between these attacks over and over again is obvious.
Whether it was Clete Scheik Muhammad, whether it was al
bag Daddy, whether it was Taliban enforcers, whether it's Radicalize
europeng Hottis, whether it's this guy here. What do you
see consistently the same exact things over and over and
over again. And the Afghan connection and the warning that

(09:36):
Washington ignored is obvious. Biden's catastrophic twenty twenty one couldbull withdrawal.
More than eighty thousand Afghans were flown to the US
with incomplete vetting.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
That is a fact we know.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
The Department of Homeland Security later admitted that thousands had
derogatory information.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Those are their words, not mine.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
The Department of own Insecurity admitted that thousands of the
eighty thousand that were leed in had quote derogatory information
including possible terror ties. Afghanistan remains one of the world's
most intense Jihadis incubators. The Taliban, the ISIS k openly
endorse attacks on the West. Biden brought them in anyway,

(10:17):
Our guardsmen, they're heroes, but what are they being treated
like villains now by our own democratic party? One guardsman,
by the way, was airlifting critical condition after taking rounds
meant to kill him? And what did the jihadists do
they seek to destroy? I will say it right now.
I want a full release of the suspect's background. I
want any watch list that he was hit on or on.

(10:39):
I want all the immigration and vetting history. I want
his mosque affiliations. I want online radicalization information. I want
all of the government failure points. And by the way,
I do want Joe Biden's administration be held responsible and
accountable for this attack. Let me be very clear what
I am saying. It is time to shut it all down.

(11:00):
People that are coming in that we're not vetting, that
we don't know who they are from around the world.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
We need to shut it down.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Why do I say that because the suspected DC National
Guard shooter has been identified as an Afghan illegal alien
who entered the US in twenty twenty one under the
Biden administration. I want you to hear this latest from
Fox News Channel about what we know about the shooter
and how he came into this country. And I'll say

(11:30):
it again, shut it all down now.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Listen.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
Sources telling Fox News that the gunman is an Afghan
national who was let in under Biden and then overstayed
his visa. And this is in just moments ago. The
suspect apparently waited for the guardsman to come around the corner,
then open fire. He shot a female guard in the chest,
then walked up, took her firearm and shot her point

(11:55):
blank in the head. He took her weapon and fired
at other guard members, hitting one in the neck, before
a third guardsman engaged him and brought him down. Let's
go live now to West Palm Beach where Fox's Dana
Bury McNichol is standing by Danabury. What has the reaction
been from the White House tonight?

Speaker 7 (12:16):
Hi, Jason, Good evening. Although President Trump is here in Florida,
the White House went on lockdown immediately after that shooting happened.
We know that the President was quickly briefed, and then
he posted on truth Social updates who He shared the
suspect who shot the two National Guard members is severely
wounded and will co pay very steep price, he wrote,

(12:39):
God bless our great National Guard and all our military
and law enforcement.

Speaker 6 (12:43):
They are truly great people. We know. Senator Chuck Schumer,
he posted.

Speaker 7 (12:47):
On x He's closely monitoring the situation and thanking first
responders for quickly capturing the suspect that Fox News just
confirmed as an Afghan national who came into the United
States during Operation Allies Welcome in twenty twenty one under
the Binned administration.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
What we do know is this man entered the US
in twenty twenty one under the Biden administration. He was
in the country illegally. He entered on nine to eight
of twenty twenty one during Operation Allies Welcome and overstayed
his visa. I also will go back to another basic point.
This is exactly why I'm in favor of the death penalty.

(13:24):
This Afghan individual should have never been in America. He
should have never been allowed to come in with the
lack of vetting. He entered the US and then overstayed,
yelling a lah Acball while he did this shooting. By
the way, if you want to know who to blame
for this tonight, this is on the Biden administration. This
is on the Democratic Party. They allowed millions of people
to come and do this country illegally, millions. This is

(13:48):
a Democratic policy. It's pretty clear Joe Biden did that.
He has been identified. He entered in twenty twenty one
under Biden's open border policy. You want to know who
did this, this is Joe Biden. I don't know any
other way to put it. This is Joe Biden.
