It wasn't just gonna be, hey, we're gonna do this job.

It's gonna be super easy.

We're not gonna have to make any hard decisions and we're not gonna have to combat a press corps that has largely been biased and full of inaccurate reporting.

But we made those decisions collectively in the best interest of the nation.

And if we hadn't, then none of this would be true.

None of this would be possible.

If President Trump had made the hard decisions

to allow us and give us the resources that we need and to back the blue in law enforcement and to prioritize working with state and local authorities, then we wouldn't be able to do what we did.

But you're right.

We had a lot of hard decisions.

That comes with the territory of the job.

but once you look outside of the cauldron of washington dc and this is one of the things that you know i'm trying to remind myself of every day outside of here there is a different america than the one that lives in the national capital region and i try to remind myself every day when making those difficult decisions that you talked about that we make on a daily basis that we are making a decision collectively for the rest of america not just for the minority of people that are living part-time in washington dc uh pulling the levers on capitol hill and such

And Dan, you know why it's called the President's Daily Briefing?

Because the President decides what are the intel priorities in that briefing.

And President Trump has decided what intel priorities agencies like the FBI and CIA are to act upon.

That type of leadership is what has led to the historic reduction in crime.

That type of leadership is what led to us capturing six of the FBI's top 10 most wanted fugitives.

That type of leadership got us, the Abbey Gate bomber and the Benghazi bomber, on top of the six.

That type of leadership, Dan, you know this,

enabled us to do the Maduro operation, which the FBI played a role in, and all these other operations, most of which we can't talk about, but that type of leadership led to a 35% increase in espionage actors by this FBI alone.
