Birmingham, Alabama, it dropped 49%.

Albuquerque, New Mexico, it dropped 32%.

Baltimore, Maryland, it dropped 31%.

Atlanta, Georgia, 26%.

Oakland, California, 33%.

Washington, D.C., where President Trump deployed the National Guard, 31%.

And if these trends continue, the U.S.

may record its lowest murder rate since 1960.

That is 66 years ago.

That is a stunning result.

By the way, border crime, border crime, other violent crimes also decreased in 2012, including a 25% drop in motor vehicle theft.

an 18% drop in robberies, and an 8% drop in aggravated assaults.

Now, these data are being reported, and what is really quite interesting is the media reports

is doing everything they can to cover it up.

So Axios wrote the first story on this, and they talk about the murder rate has fallen, but they say, well, it's unclear that this has anything to do with Donald Trump or DOJ or the FBI or policies that Republicans have put in place deporting violent criminals and murderers and gang members, which is truly, it is a level of dishonesty.

That is incredible.

And I want to give you some of the raw backgrounds that explains why the murder rate has dropped so profoundly.

Here are some raw numbers, and this was put out by FBI Director Kash Patel, of what has happened that would explain why is it that we've seen a 20% drop in murder rate.

In the last year, we've seen an increase in violent crime arrests.

What rate do you think the increase in violent crime arrests has been?
