Twice as many arrests.
That's unbelievable, Dan.
These numbers are truly historic.
And that was the foundational tectonic shift you and I put into place in the FBI to let the cops go out there and be cops.
And this is what happens.
I think you just hit upon the brilliance of true leadership in what President Trump said to you and I. He said, go reduce violent crime, go defend the homeland, stop children from overdosing, and let's protect our children online.
Those are some of the priorities issued to us.
But he didn't say, this is how you do it, go do it, and I want it done this way.
He gave us the priorities.
You and I said, Roger that, boss.
That's what the administration and the American public voted for.
and then what do we do dan you engineered operations like summer heat and viper and we went to places like memphis and dc and elsewhere and we saw a 60 percent reduction in the homicide rate in memphis in the first three months that the fbi was on the ground there we've been replicating that in city by city across the country we've been focusing on indian country which has not gotten the attention it should have we've been focusing on every piece of crime
that has been ignored historically.
And what else did we do?
We put new leadership into the field that subscribe to this leadership and this administration's agenda, because that's what happens.
And that's what the American people voted for.
And for the FBI, it just means letting good cops be cops.
And we let them go out there and arrest the bad guys.
And when you arrest, Dan, I don't remember the number, but I think it's 68,000 arrests for the FBI last year alone.
I think that's twice as many as the year before.
