The first 100 days, we did more arrests. than the previous state administration did last year. And I think when you look at those and you see those serious cases that we're out there getting, it shows that this administration is serious about public safety and making America safe again. We actually feel the backing to get out there and do our job.

We also have the backing of the American public, though, right? Americans voted overwhelmingly that... They want the worst of the worst. They want these criminal aliens out of our neighborhoods, out of our communities. Morale has increased because we have that leadership backing that we never had before.

Well, there's no doubt his tenure at DOD has been tumultuous so far. First, there was what Democrats refer to as Signalgate. Then last week, a number of senior advisors at the Pentagon were fired after an investigation allegedly found they'd been leaking sensitive information to the press.

And this week, the negative stories continued after The New York Times reported Hegseth had allegedly shared details of airstrikes on Yemen in a separate Signal chat that included his wife and brother. Now, Hegseth's team says his wife is a trusted confidant and that his brother works at the Pentagon, but the story gave yet more fodder to those who want him let go.

Well, John, we're seeing a stunning turnaround. Overall recruitment started to dip in 2021 and 22, and by 2023, the Pentagon was in a full-blown crisis. That year, the Army fell 25% short of their recruitment goal, the Navy was 20% below target, and the Air Force failed to reach their goal for the first time in nearly 25 years, falling 10% short.

2024 did see a slight rebound with the Air Force and Army hitting their target numbers, But it's worth noting the Army lowered their goal that year by 15%, so the numbers are a bit deceiving. And the Navy still fell about 10% short of their target.

Yeah, six months into fiscal year 2025, every single branch is on pace to smash their recruiting goals. The Navy is tracking towards their best year in two decades. The Air Force has seen a 20% spike compared to last year. And the Army, their only problem is finding enough space for all their new recruits. Last year, they had 55,000 enlistments. With six months to go, they're already at 52,000.
