Cameras welcomed in for the two-plus-hour gathering, which covered a wide range of topics.

Donald Trump 2:19
I want to pay my deepest respects to those two incredible people from the National Guard in West Virginia they came from. I spoke to their parents. Sarah is gone. She passed away. She's looking down on us now. And we have one young man who's fighting for his life. He's fighting very hard. I think he's probably doing better than anybody. They said he didn't have a chance. I'll tell you, the one who said he's going to live is his mother. He spoke to his mother. Sir, he's going to live. If he lives, it would be amazing. A miracle, actually. We're very proud of those two people. We're very proud of the National Guard. We're very proud of our military and our police and our firemen and women.

I wish everybody could be in the room watching our professionals. The deliberative process, the detail, the rigorous, the intel, the legal, the evidence-based way that we're able to know who's on it, what they're doing, what they're carrying, all these white bales are not Christmas gifts from Santa. No one's fishing on a submarine. And I have empowered them to make that call. Now, the first couple of strikes, I said I'm going to be the one to make the call. That was September 2nd. I watched that first strike lot, so I didn't stick around for the hour and two hours, whatever, where all the sensitive site exploitation digitally occurs.
