00:00I wanted to correct one thing about the record, because President Biden showed last night

00:06that he was weak, sadly, that he is feeble, and he said a number of things that are just

00:12demonstrably untrue.

00:14One of the things that was the most staggering that we heard him say is that he claimed that

00:18on his watch, we have not lost any American troops, that the lives of no American troops

00:24have been lost as long as he's been president.

00:27Obviously, that is not true.

00:29And I wanted to read 13 names by way of example that he seems to have forgotten already, which

00:35is really shocking and sad.

00:37But apparently, he's already forgotten about the 13 American heroes who were lost with

00:43his disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

00:46These are their names, Mr. President.

00:48These are their names.

00:49Marine Corps Staff Sergeant Darren Hoover, Marine Corps Sergeant Johanni Rosario, Marine

00:56Corps Sergeant Nicole LG, Marine Corps Corporal Hunter Lopez, Marine Corps Corporal Dagon

01:03W. Page, Marine Corps Corporal Humberto A. Sanchez, Marine Corps Lance Corporal David

01:10L. Espinoza, Marine Corps Lance Corporal Jared M. Schmitz, Marine Corps Lance Corporal Riley

01:18J. McCollum, Marine Corps Lance Corporal Dylan R. Merola, Marine Corps Lance Corporal Kareem

01:25M. Nakuri, Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Maxton W. Soviak, and Army Staff Sergeant Ryan Noss.

01:36Mr. President, that's 13 examples of troops that were lost on your watch, and it's shameful

01:41that apparently you can't remember that.

01:43We do, and we will honor their memory.
