## Transcript

We've seen what was apparently a pipe bomb go off in New Jersey in Seaside Park, where it could have seriously injured our US Marines and spectators who were there for a race. The bombing in the Chelsea neighborhood, here in New York, injured more than two dozen people. I want to take this opportunity to reassure the people in this city. This region and Americans across our country that our counterterrorism and law enforcement professionals at every level, federal, state, and local, are working together around the clock to prevent attacks and to keep us safe. They are the best of the best. Over the years they have thwarted many plots and saved many lives.

And we are incredibly grateful for their service today and every single day. We will continue to lead the global coalition in the fight to destroy ISIL which is instigating a lot of people over the Internet to carry out attacks. We are gonna continue to go after them. We're gonna take out their leaders, we're gonna take out their infrastructure. They are continuing to lose ground in Iraq and in Syria, and later today I'll be meeting with Prime Minister Abadi of Iraq to discuss the need to sustain that momentum. Moments like this I think it's important to remember what terrorist and violent extremest are trying to do.

They are trying to hurt innocent people, but they also wanna inspire fear in all of us and disrupt the way we live, to undermine our values. And so, even as we have to be vigilant and aggressive, both in preventing Senseless acts of violence but also making sure that we find those who carry out such acts and bring them to justice. We all have a role to play as citizens in making sure that we don't succumb to that fear. And there's no better example of that than the people of New York and New Jersey.
