Transcript
00:00:04.900
The turkeys being pardoned today go by the names of Gobble and Waddle.
00:00:09.180
When I first saw their pictures, I thought we should send them,
00:00:16.760
But then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them.
00:00:24.080
Darling, I think it would be a nice thing to do.
00:00:26.740
You're listening to a 47 Morning Update Special Edition with Ben Ferguson.
00:00:35.080
And thank you for all of you that are spending some time with us
00:00:38.100
as we have one tough and important story to talk about.
00:00:41.380
Two National Guardsmen have been shot near the White House.
00:00:46.820
And now we know about the suspect who was in the country illegally from Afghanistan,
00:00:52.600
yelling apparently a la Akbar during the attack.
00:00:55.700
I'm going to give you the details of everything we know at this moment.
00:00:59.780
It's the 47 Morning Update and it starts right now.
00:01:04.280
I want to open by talking about what happened in D.C.
00:01:08.380
You have two National Guardsmen that were ambushed.
00:01:12.200
We now know it was because of a Afghan national.
00:01:15.480
We know that the Afghan national came into the U.S. in 2021
00:01:23.020
We know that the individual, the alleged terrorist gunman
00:01:28.140
who shot the two National Guard members, overstayed his visa.
00:01:32.000
Crazed gunman shooting those two National Guardsmen in an ambush near the White House
00:01:36.060
is a 29-year-old Afghan national who came during the chaotic 2021 Afghan withdrawal.
00:01:43.760
He was lying in wait before he rounded the corner near the Farragut West Metro Station,
00:01:48.620
opened fire, striking a female guard in the chest before deliberately trying to execute her,
00:01:53.880
shooting her in the head, according to law enforcement sources.
00:01:56.780
The man entered the country under Operation Allies.
0.97
00:02:01.520
You know, because he never met an illegal immigrant.
00:02:05.380
He, quote, resettled in Bellingham, Washington.
00:02:08.240
He fired at and struck the second guard after shooting the first in the head.
00:02:13.100
A third guard stationed nearby rushed the area and took him down.
00:02:16.140
The two armed soldiers who were patrolling the streets
00:02:20.980
were taken to nearby hospitals in critical condition at the time.
00:02:30.760
Some things never change in these terrorist attacks.
00:02:33.580
Law enforcement sources to the FBI is initially treating the shooting
00:02:38.440
But why did this happen and how did we get here yet again?
00:02:42.920
I think it's because, yet again, we are witnessing the dehumanization
00:02:48.800
Yet again, we are watching Democrats dehumanize our men and women
00:02:56.460
Over and over again, we are witnessing this happen.
00:03:10.000
And this is just days after six Democratic lawmakers
00:03:19.720
And you wonder what could have motivated this individual.
00:03:26.880
Two National Guardsmen in critical condition tonight
00:03:30.260
after being shot in a targeted attack just blocks from the White House.
00:03:36.280
Sources telling Fox News that the gunman is an Afghan national
00:03:40.140
who was let in under Biden and then overstayed his visa.
00:03:47.260
The suspect apparently waited for the guardsman to come around the corner,
00:04:00.220
He took her weapon and fired at other guard members,
00:04:03.780
hitting one in the neck before a third guardsman engaged him and brought him down.
00:04:12.100
where Fox's Dana Marie McNichol is standing by.
00:04:15.160
Dana Marie, what has the reaction been from the White House tonight?
00:04:22.220
the White House went on lockdown immediately after that shooting happened.
00:04:26.320
We know that the president was quickly briefed.
00:04:32.480
he shared the suspect who shot the two National Guard members is severely wounded
00:04:41.600
God bless our great National Guard and all our military and law enforcement.
00:04:49.740
he's closely monitoring the situation and thanking first responders
00:04:53.000
for quickly capturing the suspect that Fox News just confirmed is an Afghan national
00:04:58.180
who came into the United States during Operation Allies Welcome in 2021
00:05:06.120
Now, law enforcement sources say they believe the male suspect acted alone in a targeted attack.
00:05:12.720
Now, hundreds of National Guard troops have been in Washington since August.
00:05:16.000
And earlier this month, President Trump ordered their deployment to be extended in the city
00:05:24.520
And tonight, the Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth,
00:05:27.040
said that Trump ordered an additional 500 troops to be deployed in D.C.
00:05:31.840
Now, as the news of the shooting broke, Vice President J.D. Vance,
00:05:35.160
he was addressing service members at Fort Campbell in Kentucky ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
00:05:40.240
He asked for prayers for the two West Virginia National Guard members
00:05:45.920
And, Dacian, you just shared those gruesome details of how this shooting played out
00:05:52.840
Now, the president is not expected to address this shooting on camera tonight,
00:05:55.980
but tomorrow does have a scheduled call over the phone with service members.
00:06:00.500
So, of course, we'll be bringing you those remarks.
00:06:02.820
Just think about everything you just heard there and then go back to this question.
00:06:06.700
And the question that all of you should be asking yourself is,
00:06:11.200
how did we get to a point where this is now the new norm?
00:06:14.460
It's not just the shooting of the National Guardsmen.
00:06:20.940
Multiple innocent people have been killed while they were targeting ICE agents.
00:06:25.780
This is consistent over and over and over again.
00:06:31.660
The dehumanizing of our men and women in law enforcement over and over and over again.
00:06:41.480
Because they don't mind it when these people get shot.
00:06:46.600
And if you stand up and say the truth about this,
00:06:49.140
that you don't want these people coming into our country,
1.00
00:06:51.060
that's like, oh, that's Islamophobic and you can't say that.
00:06:55.820
This person should have never been led into this country.
0.99
00:06:58.520
This person should have never been allowed to come in without being vetted.
00:07:03.060
And when you have an Islamic war cry going out,
0.82
00:07:05.960
Allah Akbar, by a 29-year-old Afghan illegal immigrant
00:07:09.640
who opened fire on U.S. Guardsmen just two miles from the White House,
00:07:17.180
Multiple law enforcement sources and eyewitnesses confirmed the shooter.
00:07:22.060
while attacking three D.C. National Guardsmen near the Capitol.
00:07:25.000
Witnesses described the chilling jihadist indicators.
00:07:29.220
Islamic beard, a hallmark of religious jihadists.
1.00
00:07:33.760
the signature war cry used in nearly every major jihadist attack worldwide.
00:07:38.520
And of course, the media is going to want to tell you and downplay this
00:07:41.100
and not give you this story and say it was random or senseless
00:07:43.600
or that we, you know, some sort of gun violence and we need more gun control.
00:07:49.880
They're not going to tell you this is a failed U.S. policy.
00:07:52.200
They're not going to tell you that Joe Biden let this person in.
00:07:54.680
They're not going to tell you that the person overstayed his visa.
00:07:58.600
They're not going to tell you that he believes that we are the infidels
0.99
00:08:02.540
That's what jihadists believe for more than what?
0.99
00:08:12.140
Allah Akbar, by the way, it's never a coincidence.
00:08:18.320
Greater than God, greater than your laws, greater than your country,
00:08:22.660
It's tied directly to Islamic conquest theology.
00:08:26.300
It appears alongside the Koran 933, which commands Islam to triumph over all other faiths.
0.93
00:08:33.400
All other faiths in this country and in the world.
00:08:36.200
It's been the shouting battle cry in nearly every major jihadist attack,
00:08:39.780
including the 9-11 hijackers, the Paris massacre,
00:08:43.040
the Pulse nightclub in Orlando in 2016, the London Bridge attackers,
00:08:47.840
the ISIS execution videos, the 2025 easy jet hijack attempt.
00:08:54.960
It's a battlefield signal meant to terrorize, intimidate, and sanctify the attack.
00:09:00.520
When witnesses heard the DC shooters screaming at mid-firefight,
00:09:07.100
They knew it was going to be someone that is Muslim.
00:09:09.480
But they're going to say none of this on the news.
00:09:15.720
The clear connection between these attacks over and over again is obvious.
00:09:23.040
Whether it was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, whether it was al-Baghdadi,
00:09:26.480
whether it was Taliban enforcers, whether it was radicalized European jihadists,
00:09:30.360
whether it's this guy here, what do you see consistently?
00:09:33.240
The same exact things over and over and over again.
00:09:38.080
And the Afghan connection and the warning that Washington ignored is obvious.
00:09:47.280
more than 80,000 Afghans were flown to the U.S. with incomplete vetting.
00:09:53.200
The Department of Homeland Security later admitted that thousands had derogatory information.
00:09:59.700
The Department of Homeland Security admitted that thousands of the 80,000 that were let in
00:10:04.600
had, quote, derogatory information, including possible terror ties.
00:10:10.200
Afghanistan remains one of the world's most intense jihadist incubators.
00:10:15.600
The Taliban, the ISIS-K, openly endorsed attacks on the West.
00:10:28.520
One guardsman, by the way, was airlifted in critical condition after taking rounds meant
00:10:37.580
I want a full release of the suspect's background.
00:10:40.460
I want any watch list that he was hit on or on.
00:10:43.540
I want all the immigration and vetting history.
00:10:55.140
And by the way, I do want Joe Biden and his administration to be held responsible.
00:11:05.160
People that are coming in that we're not vetting, that we don't know who they are from around
00:11:14.420
Because the suspected D.C. National Guard shooter has been identified as an Afghan illegal
00:11:20.780
alien who entered the U.S. in 2021 under the Biden administration.
00:11:26.000
I want you to hear this latest from Fox News Channel about what we know about the shooter
00:11:37.340
Sources telling Fox News that the gunman is an Afghan national who was let in under Biden
00:11:48.060
The suspect apparently waited for the guardsman to come around the corner, then opened fire.
00:11:53.260
He shot a female guard in the chest, then walked up, took her firearm, and shot her point-blank
00:12:01.600
He took her weapon and fired at other guard members, hitting one in the neck before a third
00:12:10.860
Let's go live now to West Palm Beach, where Fox's Dana-Marie McNichol is standing by.
00:12:17.200
Dana-Marie, what has the reaction been from the White House today?
00:12:22.220
Although President Trump is here in Florida, the White House went on lockdown immediately
00:12:29.020
We know that the president was quickly briefed, and then he posted on Truth Social Updates who
00:12:34.680
he shared the suspect who shot the two National Guard members is severely wounded and will
00:12:42.980
He wrote, God bless our great National Guard and all our military and law enforcement.
00:12:51.880
He's closely monitoring the situation and thanking first responders for quickly capturing the suspect
00:12:57.020
that Fox News just confirmed is an Afghan national who came into the United States during
00:13:02.500
Operation Allies Welcome in 2021 under the Biden administration.
00:13:07.560
What we do know is this man entered the U.S. in 2021 under the Biden administration.
00:13:15.400
He entered on 9-8 of 2021 during Operation Allies Welcome and overstayed his visa.
00:13:25.360
This is exactly why I'm in favor of the death penalty.
0.88
00:13:29.080
This Afghan individual should have never been in America.
1.00
00:13:32.200
He should have never been allowed to come in with the lack of vetting.
00:13:35.140
He entered the U.S. and then overstayed, yelling Allah Akbar while he did the shooting.
00:13:40.860
By the way, if you want to know who to blame for this tonight, this is on the Biden administration.
00:13:46.120
They allowed millions of people to come into this country illegally.
00:13:59.120
He entered in 2021 under Biden's open border policy.
