Let's not forget that the suspect didn't get very far.

He barely broke the perimeter.

And by barely, I mean by a few feet.

And so while this was extraordinarily dangerous and put a lot of lives at risk, and there's no doubt that that's something that we're gonna have to learn from over the next couple of weeks, the system worked.

We were safe.

President Trump was safe.

His Secret Service agents kept him safe.

All of us were safe.

And so while yes, it was a very tragic situation, as President Trump said last night, we are not gonna stop living.

We're not gonna stop being out there with the American people.

And if that was his goal, he failed.

We will not stop doing things like we did last night in this administration.

And this man, if one of his goals was to get us to be scared, he failed.

And let me just let me make clear that you're right.

All those folks were in the room and more.

And yet we were all safe.

law enforcement did their jobs.

And so President Trump said last night, and he means it, and I very much agree with him, that this type of conduct will not deter him.

It will not stop him from living.

It will not stop him from doing his job.
