00:00MS.

00:01HARF Good afternoon.

00:02How are we?

00:03Good.

00:04Good to see you all.

00:05I want to start today by addressing the U.S. Army soldiers who went missing while conducting

00:12a mission to repair and tow an immobilized tactical vehicle in Lithuania in the early

00:17hours of March 25th.

00:19Tragically, three soldiers were found deceased in Lithuania yesterday, and it pains me to

00:25confirm that today the fourth soldier was also found deceased.

00:30The President, the Secretary of Defense, and the entire White House are praying for the

00:34victims' friends and family during this unimaginable time.

00:38This is another stark reminder of the selfless sacrifice of our brave military men and women

00:43who risk their lives around the world every day to keep us safe.

00:47God bless them.

00:48On another note, at our southern border, there is more massive news.

00:53U.S. border crossings in March fell to the lowest level in American history, down 94

00:58percent from March of last year under President Biden, when 137,000 illegal aliens poured

01:05across our wide-open southern border.

01:09Thanks to President Trump's leadership, Border Patrol agents are now back to doing the jobs

01:13they signed up for, securing the border, rather than serving as travel agents for illegal

01:19aliens.

01:20The Los Angeles Times captured the Trump effect on the border with a recent article.

01:25Their headline read, California-Mexico border, once overwhelmed, is now nearly empty.

01:32With so few migrants coming into the U.S., they wrote, shelters that once served migrants

01:37have completely closed.

01:39Deportations of illegal aliens who threaten the safety of the American people are also

01:43continuing at a rapid pace.

01:46Over the weekend, the United States military transferred a group of 17 violent criminals

01:51from the Trande Aragua and MS-13 terrorist organizations to El Salvador.

01:56And an illegal alien who was released by the Biden administration into our country was

02:01just arrested in Georgia and charged with the horrific killing of Camelia Williams,

02:07a mother of five and grandmother.

02:09The suspect has now been indicted on charges of malice murder, felony murder, aggravated

02:14assault, rape, aggravated sexual battery, and necrophilia, which, for those who don't

02:20know, necrophilia is a sexual obsession with a corpse.

02:25This suspect was ordered to be removed in July 2023, but the Biden administration allowed

02:32him to stay.

02:33This case represents the ruthless murderers, rapists, and pedophiles who Joe Biden and

02:38Democrats let into our country over the past four years through our southern border.

02:44They should have never been here in the first place.

02:47Keep this in mind the next time you see Democrats protesting future illegal alien removals from

02:52our country.

02:54President Trump is focused on fulfilling his greatest obligation, to keep the American

02:58people safe and to defend our country from violent invaders.
