It's just a willingness that you and I and this building's new leadership took to say, we're gonna look at the facts that exist.
We're not gonna try to make up facts that don't so we can serve a political narrative.
And wait till, and I know you know this, but wait till you see what's coming in the next month or two on the funding streams related to this.
You and I had launched a serious investigation.
We had said these organizations don't operate alone, don't operate in silence.
They operate with a heavy, heavy stream of funding.
And we started looking into it and guess what, Dan?
We found them.
Now, listen, they are retreating and backtracking through a wall that they used to be able to break through under prior administrations because no one held them accountable.
And now after the first year that we reestablish how this place, how this building, how this lead premier law enforcement agency actually operates and goes after
not just threat actors overseas and those who are willing to do harm to American lives, but those who cause violence here in America and use the guise of politics to delete that violence.
We're not going to tolerate that.
And these groups like Antifa and anyone else involved in these riots across the country and involved in paying for them in any way, shape or form,
This FBI, thanks to what we stood up over the last year, has made significant headway under the NSPM 7 process in looking at those who funded these streams and are starting to arrest people who used their funds to incite violence in the guise of political peaceful protest.
Well, it's not hard, Dan, as you know, as an 1811 and a former police officer, it's not hard to do the job you signed up for if you're allowed to do the job you signed up for.
And President Trump and this administration backs law enforcement and gave us the resources at this FBI and gave us the autonomy in you and I and running this building to remove the red tape, to remove the unnecessary approvals and to get a thousand extra agents.
That's what we did, Dan.
We put a thousand agents into the field from Washington, D.C.,
We permanently, permanently removed them from the national capital region and sent them across to every single field office.
