Comey was interviewed by the Secret Service on Friday and is now facing a string of federal probes after he posted an image of a beach scene with seashells arranged in the numbers 8647 writing this cool shell formation on my beachwalk. The number 86 typically refers to elimination and President Trump is of course the 47th president. After much public outcry on social media, Comey took down the post, claiming he was not aware that 86 refers to eliminating something and that he opposes violence. There have already been two assassination attempts on President Trump's life, which are still under investigation by the FBI. After the incident, new FBI director Cash Patel told me he is in the middle of an active investigation into this matter. Days earlier, the two walked us through Comey's weaponization of the FBI, Cash Patel and Dan Bonino, as well as some of the other important cases that they are working on, including drug and human trafficking cells operating in America today, the events of January 6th and Jeffrey Epstein's death. But the director began by praising his 30,000 plus colleagues at the FBI during this National Police Week. It's police week, Maria. And so it's a really momentous occasion for law enforcement, for the sacrifices they put in for the country. The deputy and I have been going to events all week. And you know, the most painful part is being with the families of the fallen. But we're here to remind America that there's a consequence to the freedom that they have. And there's good men and women that keep stepping up for that fight. So, you know, it's a big deal that you're here on police week. Thank you. And I saw the honor wall and I want to walk past that with you. I unfortunately was on Wall Street on 911 and my heart goes out to the families who've lost their loved ones. Dan, yeah, 911. I was an agent on 911 with the Secret Service and I just remember as you probably do from the media perspective, the chaos, remember nothing worked like we thought it was going to work. So the director and I, we both been deeply inspired obviously by as everyone in America was by that by tragic, horrible incident. But I know when Cash and I are sitting there in the morning, that is the single motivating factor for us is keep the homeland safe. That is priority number one. And I want to ask you about that. I I'll go into some of the specifics, but director, you've said many times uh that the FBI has been politicized. So what are your plans to rebuild trust in this fine institution and depoliticize the FBI? So we have a multi-part process. First of all, our priorities, simple, crush violent crime, defend the homeland, rigorous organizational accountability, and the fourth, which leads directly to your question, aggressive constitutional oversight with Congress. The way we rebuild trust is we already have the men and women here in the rank and file that signed up to be cops, that signed up to be intel analysts, that signed up to be special support staff that want to do the work. That's why we're sending them into the field. We can talk about that later. What we need America to know is that this place was politicized and Congress has rightfully requested the documents from Crossfire Hurricane to January 6 to the Richmond Catholic memo and so much more. But now finally, Americans are reading for themselves the documentation where a very select few leaders in the former FBI decided to politicize it. We don't need me and the deputy telling you it's politicized. We want the American people to read it. And now they are. And and I know I lived with it for you. I watched it with you and Devon Nunees when you were truth tellers on all of this and you were as well Dan throughout the Russia collusion story and the rest. Look, I can speak to the folks that were in our seats, our predecessors, and they intentionally failed the American public by putting on the biggest DC deception game we've ever seen. They said the FBI was the most storied institution for law enforcement. And it was, and it will be again very soon. But when the likes of Comey and McCabe and Stro and company came in here with the James Bakers of the world and intentionally lied to a federal court only to rig a presidential election by lying to the American public and using taxpayer dollars likely illegally to fund this entire operation and then withhold the sculpatory information from a federal court that I used to appear to manhunt terrorists. That's what broke the FBI. And then when they were caught, they lied about it. and you and a few others like Dan and others were brave enough to cover it six, seven, eight years ago and we're still talking about it today because as Congress is working rigorously with us, the Crossfire hurricane documents are coming fast and hard and they're being sent there unredacted so we can have full accountability and that's how you restore what the the trust that was lost um to the American public when it comes to the FBI. Yeah, but come on, director. With all due respect, we've been talking about this for a long time and I've been demanding accountability for many, many years. One of the you mentioned Comey Stro and the rest. They've got TV shows. They've got media platforms. They're fine. There's been no accountability. Well, look, it's a fair criticism, but what I will tell people is we weren't here in the FBI in the last 5 years when we had statute of limitations that were still in play where we could have investigated criminal conduct. Most of these statute of limitations are five years old and we will investigate criminal conduct where we find a righteous case to do so and the law and the facts allow us to. But a lot of it we're procluded from. So we'll take the criticism and it's rightfully so that could we have done more in the past? Sure people before us could have. But what we can do now is continue to put out the documents and the information that these people withheld from the American public. And I'm just telling you right now, as much as we know about Crossfire Hurricane, he and I just found out more last week, and we're continuing to work with Congress to put those documents out. That's how vindictive and vicious the former leadership structure here was. Not only did they bastardize the FISA process in light of the American public, they withheld and hid documentation and put it in rooms where people weren't supposed to look. And it's a good thing we're here now to clean it up. And you're about to see a wave of transparency. What do you mean? and just give us about a week or two. Okay. Well, well, I can tell you right now that the judge that gave a smack on the wrist uh on the one agent that lied and, you know, misled the American people, that's the same judge who's back and stopping Donald Trump from doing things, isn't it? Judge Boseberg. Yeah. I I just got to push back. Listen, we've been here two months. He's been here a couple more weeks than that. I mean, we've been here two months. You're dealing with a 38,000 member organization and an approximately 12 billion budget. Fair point. where to to expect us in two months to dig up what was a 8-year maybe longer multi-year politicized investigation with multiple layers of processes from woods procedures being uh just thrown in the garbage can and flushed down the toilet bowl to multiple layers of accountability where people lied and obfiscated. I'm not asking you to trust me. You want this done right or you want it done quickly because you can't have it both ways. You want it done quickly, we'll do it. And you know what'll happen? Just what happened last time. Those same spygate collusion perpetrators sued the government, got money, got all the You want that? We'll do it. We'll do it quickly and do it wrong. But are you saying you found things that you even you didn't know about? I mean, you were at the core of this. Yes. Yes. I was a lead Russia gate investigator um for the House Intelligence Committee and uh I've been on both your shows in a prior life talking about it and I'm telling you and the American public that we have now found material and information and people who wanted to hide it from the world since we got in these seats and we as the direct as the deputy said we are trying to do it in a fashion where not only are we informing the American public of what happened but we can have accountability for it and that takes a little bit more crime. And when you layer on the fact that we are rolling out our priorities on violent crime and defending the homeland, you know, we're running a three-part animal here and we're going 100 miles an hour on each single one. So important. Wait, I got want to add to that, too, because what the director is saying is right. You got to remember, we come in in the morning, there's a portfolio of 100 level 10 items. If it's a level 9, which is a pretty big freaking deal, someone else fixed it. The only thing that gets to my desk or his is a level 10. That's the entire day. Look at his schedule any given day. I'll show you the palm card I have. It is filled from 7:30 to he leaves 7 at night, 6:30 at night. Uh it's filled all day. We just can't focus on one thing. You want New York to go boom, DC to go boom. You want an OC organization to go hack into some cyber network and crack all of Fox News's holdings. We're dealing with all that stuff, too. Everything's a priority. Everything's a priority. This is one of many things we're dealing. It's not an excuse. It's just reality. Now, the Democrats are turning on you, right? I mean, I saw your hearing the other day and critics have accused you of using the FBI to target political enemies. So, set the record straight. You wrote an entire book about it, government gangsters. Um, tell us how do you respond to the attacks? Very simply, the FBI's prior leadership left us an institution, that is a police force for America in the world that allowed a fentinyl overdose to occur and kill an American citizen every seven minutes. That prior FBI's leadership, Comey McCabe, left us an FBI that allowed for a woman or child to be raped every six and a half minutes in this country. That same leadership structure left us an FBI that permitted a man or woman to be killed twice an hour in this country. That's our response to them. When I go to Congress and I go to the Hill, I say, \"Hey, I'm not policing your neighborhood because it's a Republican or Democratic. I'm asking you for help on what your priorities are and what your resources needs are and where you need training and we're going to send them to you.\" That's why we're putting 1500 FBI employees into the field and outside of Washington DC. Now, if the Democrats uh want to play politics with that, they're the elected officials. They get to say what they want. But yelling at me and Bonino, we could take it all day long. I don't even understand why. Why did they do that? I mean, why put the FBI and its reputation at risk? What? It was just just to win an election. Why? Cuz they're weak. Because they're weak. I hate weak people. I can't stand it. They didn't have We're on TV, so I already said BS once. But they didn't have the guts, the courage, or the character to do the right thing. They did the easy thing. Donald Trump became a convenient political football. They used they thought they could leverage um they thought they'd get they thought with the media on their side that they'd get away with it. I know that there are cells, you know, drug trafficking cells and human trafficking cells. How significant is this in America? It's everywhere. I mean, when you open up the border, like look, that's not a political statement. The border was open for four years. So, what happens is crime metastasizes. What happens is you have hundreds of thousands of illegals come across and a bunch of them are really bad criminals. Not all of them, but a bunch of them. And then they nest into societies. And this is why we're rolling out Mexican street gang task forces across the country because it's not the international gangs that are just the problem. It's these inner city gangs that exist in one or two towns here and there and have metastasized and taken over the drug trade, the sex trafficking trade, the child force label trade, and the gang trade. They are all in and no one has been focusing on them because our cities and our elected leadership has allowed them to live without being policed. But that's over now that Dan and I are in the seat. This is so scary. What do you want to say to families out there, mothers who are afraid for their young girls that they may get taken? I I want to put everyone at ease watching this today. There is I hate cliches, but there really is a new sheriff in town. Um his name is Donald J. Trump, this administration in conjunction with uh General Bondi and our director Cash Patel. I am in the briefing, Maria, with the the five of us. Amal, the Pag, Todd, the DAG, AG, Cash, and me. Every morning over at DOJ, the attitude every morning from the president on down, he, the president of the United States, wants this FBI to be able to in one month, 6 months, a year, or two years. Wants to be able to get out in front of the American people and say, \"Your lives are noticeably different.\" He doesn't want fairy tales, Asop's fables. He doesn't want any of that stuff. He wants people to be able to touch it and feel it. I don't care if you're in Stewart, Florida or Harlem, New York. He wants you to walk outside and say, \"Wow, my neighborhood does look different.\" Where are where are the biggest cells in in the country? And how does it work? Are there spotters? Like, how does it work? It's it's based on a variety of factors. So, when it comes to trafficking, you got to look at the interstate system and look at the intersections of the interstate system running through the Midwest um and across the country. Then you just got to look for hard evidence. I didn't know this till my confirmation process, but Memphis, Tennessee is the homicide capital of America per capita. Didn't know that. We have a problem there. We're now addressing it. We're rolling out one of our task forces, the state of Tennessee. But we also know that Ohio possesses the roadway system where the trafficking is through the roof just because of the interstate. So you have to get out there in the field, not just let the FBI agents and intel folks get out there and do the work, but partner with state and local law enforcement, which is a priority, and tribal law enforcement. That's a big big deal for us. We are not forgetting about Indian country. They suffer from the same violent crime that we do in the rest of America. And we're going to help them. And that's how you learn the groundbased level facts that you need to to deploy our assets. We're not coming up with anything fancy. We're just attacking the problem, but we're smart enough to go after the information and say that's where the problem is because you told us it's there. Now we know we're going. That that's interesting. What about the big cities? I mean, we've heard about Trend Aaragua being in New York City. Yeah. We're about to ruin your summer if you're a bad guy. So, I'm just warning you now, like don't buy movie tickets cuz you're probably not going to cash them in. So, the director and I put something together in conjunction with our DOJ partners, General Bondi and uh Dag Blanch actually this morning. And uh if you're a violent criminal, this FBI under our leadership, would you we don't care who gets the credit. All we care about is making your streets safer. Actually safer. Coming up, the assassination attempts on President Trump's life. Why don't we know more today, more than a year later, as we continue our exclusive from the FBI. Welcome back. President Trump is proposing spending cuts across most federal agencies, including the FBI. As we continue our exclusive interview, FBI Director Cash Patel told me the FBI's real estate portfolio is about to shrink dramatically, but the mission will not change. I want to get to a few specifics and I know you can't talk about any active investigation. So, and our viewers understand that, but how come we don't have more information on the assassination attempts on President Trump? There's uh two reasons. Two open ongoing prosecutions. So, two of the investigations are obviously closed because the individuals are dead. Um, but there's two live prosecutions and so the we can't get ahead of the federal court case. A lot of that information will come out in the federal court cases, but we have personally invested our time in making sure that we have looked at all the any possible international connections to terrorism and adversaries alike. And we've both been down to Quantico. We've both done the laboratory testing. We've both seen the explosives analysis. We've both seen the firearm and physically held it. We are all in on these investigations. Are we gonna be surprised at what you learned? You know what, Maria? Um, Cash is not kidding. We've been personally briefed extensively on every single detail, nugget, tendril of this case. One is actively in court right now. So, out of respect for the case, it's probably more appropriate that I stay quiet on that. However, I'm not going to tell people what they want to hear. I'm going to tell you the truth. And whether whether you like it or not is up to you. If there was a big explosive there there right given my history as a secret service agent and my personal friendship as a director does with the president give me one logical sensible reason we would not have to if you can think of one there isn't there isn't there in some of these cases the there you're looking for is not there and I know people I get it I understand it's not there if it was there we would have told you well the issue that's been talked about recently is this mortgage fraud and the FBI opening a formal case against Leticia James. So again, ongoing cases and we take our uh ongoing investigations very seriously because we don't want to do what our predecessors did, which is talk about them at infinitum in the public and then nothing happens. This case, I can tell you, is being handled by our professional pros who are subject matter experts reporting directly to headquarters which reports to Dan and I. This case along with others because it is a case of great public importance. And unlike other leaders who previously sat in these seats, we don't prejudge any case. We don't care what party elected you to what. It doesn't matter to us. It's irrelevant. if you broke the law, we are going to find out and we are going to investigate you and then we are going to discuss that matter with the Department of Justice. And this is one of the things that if your viewers take away nothing else from this interview, the FBI does not make prosecutorial decisions. You asked in the beginning how the FBI was weaponized while the FBI hijacked the constitutional responsibility of the Department of Justice and the Attorney General and James Comey and others specifically decided what cases to prosecute and not prosecute. Don't believe me? Go to the video tape and the Hillary Clinton investigation. We don't decide prosecutions and neither does any agent or intel analyst. We have great partners under General Bondi. We work with them and discuss the matter with them. But the prosecutorial decision is with them. So is there a directive now to focus on fighting real crime, look at illegal migration, look at the sex trafficking and scale back on the white collar business type crime. I don't want to say that we were going to quote unquote scale back. What we do is we look at the intelligence and we rely on our 36,000 employees to say this is where stuff's going wrong. But right now, the reality of where stuff's going wrong more than counterterrorism, which is my wheelhouse and my background, is the narcotics industry and the sex trafficking industry. So, there's more and more resources put on that and on the removal proceedings, which we're working with our partners at DHS on. That's just the reality today. But that's not to say we're forgetting about white collar crime and counterterrorism. That's what you said. You said if you're hurting a child, taking away a child's innocence, we're coming for you. Yeah. With that knock at the door, it's on Amazon. That's going to be us. This is a huge up. And Maria, not only does it destroy innocence, I said to everyone in the room, so week two or three when Cash and I put Restoring Justice together to go get these muts off the street, these kitty pornographers and these these animals, right? I said to everyone in the room, I said, \"You know, why is it gonna matter to America? Because everyone in the room is a child or a parent, right? There's no immaculate conceptions here, right? I love Jesus, but there no one in the room, right? I said, \"This matters.\" And not only that, it creates generational crime because abused kids then become abusers in a lot of these cases. I said, \"We have a chance right now.\" I said, \"We got to go make their lives painful, these bad guys.\" And we went and we locked up in a month what, 400. We saved 115 kids. And you haven't even seen the beginning because those 400, a lot of them are talking. And when you log onto that network next, you have no idea we're doing. You think you're safe in your dark web, I promise you are absolutely not safe. You have no idea what we can do. Are you seeing a an increase in the number of potential agents wanting to come in and work with you? Look, the FBI is 38,000 when we're fully manned, which we're not. In the National Capital Region, in the 50-mi radius around Washington DC, there were 11,000 FBI employees. That's like a third of the workforce. A third of the crime doesn't happen here. So, we're taking 1500 of those folks and moving them out. Every state's getting a plus up. And I think when we do things like that, we inspire folks in America to become intel analysts and agents and say, \"We want to go work at the FBI because we want to go fight violent crime and we want to get sent out into the country to do it.\" And that's what we're doing in the next 3, six, nine months. We're going to do that hard. And you know, I didn't know that I was going to do this, but I'm going to announce it on your show anyway. This FBI is leaving the Hoover building because this building is unsafe for our workforce. And we want the workforce. gave up a big nugget there. We want but we want the American men and women to know if you're going to come work at the premier law enforcement agency in the world, we're going to give you a building that's commensurate with that and that's not this place. I mean, the Trump administration has proposed a $500 million cut to the FBI's funding for 2026. How are you going to maintain the effectiveness if you don't have the resources? We got to get smart and stop wasting money. We got to stop thinking up fantasies in Maryland and building5 billion dollar new buildings. We have people who are able to do the job on the budgets we're given. And we are going to work with the president and his team because he and his team know they have to budget for an entire government. I just got to worry about one agency. So does he. And their job is 10 times harder than ours. They have to say DoD's got to get this. What about DOT? What about justice and marshals? And what about Treasury? So, we know that they are smartly putting together a budget and we also know that there's ramifications from people here that weaponize this place and a cost to that. We're always going to fight for our personnel and for as much money as we can get. But I think when we show you real time examples of getting out of places like this because just to fix this building would cost billions of dollars only for a couple years of runway. It shows you that we're serious about saving and being good stewards of the taxpayer dollars and hiring more agents instead of building new buildings. So, what are your colleagues saying about this? That you're going to get out of the Hoover building? Well, he's he's a man of his word. I mean, he he said that he was interested in shutting down Hoover and I I don't think people took him seriously and it's been two months and I I I think it's good that he broke it on your show because me and him were on the tour yesterday of an alternate facility where uh the building we're looking at and everyone was taking pictures and they knew something was up because me and him were there. So, that's good. You guys got it first. But Cash could have made a pretty uh easy decision which is go up to Congress and say, \"Hey, you know what? We're going to go back and ask for this billion dollar new facility.\" And you know what he said? He said, \"Go find this a place already up and running. We can go in.\" Well, we're going to It's going to need some upgrades, you know, skiffs where we can talk safes, that kind of thing. Obviously, some security upgrades in the front. We are saving the taxpayer a fortune. So, are you going to move 1,000 employees from Washington to field offices across the country? 1500. 1500. We are. We are already uh launched that plan and uh we've looked at they're going to Alabama. Well, so Redstone Arsenal is one of the crown jewels of the FBI. And it's a it's on a military campus of 38,000 acres in Huntsville, Alabama. And the FBI built five new buildings there and a kinetic cyber training facility, a long range facility, our terrorism explosive device centers there. So when you go and you want to become a new FBI agent, we send you to Quantico. When you're in the job for a couple years and you need advanced training, you go to Huntsville. And because we've have new buildings and new structures already there, we need our outdated facilities and personnel to move to Huntsville where the training has been set up for them and fill those seats. We don't need to build new buildings elsewhere. So, a chunk of them are going there because it's essentially headquarters 2 for lack of a better word. But the rest of the folks, we've looked at the map and we said, \"Where are the worst crime spots in America?\" That's how we're choosing where the agents and intel folks go. Then our leaders in the field are working with state, local, and tribal leaders to say, \"Hey, we've got a serious problem on Navajo where we've got a big deal going on outside of Chicago.\" Those agents and intel analysts are going there at their direction based on ground level intelligence. You want to make your promotions, go make cases in the field, and you're getting promoted under this leadership structure. You don't have to come to Washington. One of the biggest cost-saving things we did was we ended this TDY boondoggle to DC that has been institutionalized by prior leadership mandating you come here. And here's the kicker. Not only do you get your salary, you get a PDM TDY for your entire 18-month tour. That's over. Next up, what really happened on January 6th and who really should be held accountable right after this. what actually happened on January 6th. So there is as it it seems that uh I find myself in a similar situation as Russia gate because on January 6th in the prior Trump administration I was a chief of staff to the department of defense and I spent four years in a minor fortune litigating the truth because people politicized what actually happened on January 6th. And we now know unequivocally that President Trump lawfully authorized the deployment of National Guard. And me as the head of the Office of Secretary of Defense with the Secretary of Defense took that action. When it finally came in, because it had to have the governor and mayor of DC's approval on it. That's the way the law works. And once it finally came in on January 6th, remember we offered to them days beforehand and they rejected it. We've put out the letters and your show has done great coverage showing how it was rejected. We mobilized the fastest coal start in Washington DC since World War II and the largest occupation of DC by the National Guard since the American Revolution. That's what happened on January 6. But what you and your viewers want to know now that we've beat back that disinformation campaign with actual truth is what was the FBI doing? Well, we got answers coming. We just found a trove of information and it's on its way to Capitol Hill right now. And they've asked and they're getting them and you're getting answers on January 6th. You're getting answers on what sourcing was utilized, what money was utilized, how many assets were utilized, who made those decisions. You're getting it. We can only control the FBI, but you're getting it from the FBI. Were there FBI agents undercover egging people on? Like I said, that answer is coming. Um, and it's on its way to Congress. You're about to I saw it. I saw the portfolio of information. We dug far and wide to find it. And I'm pretty sure now we have a conclusive definitive answer, but you you and the public are going to have it. You're going to see it in writing over to Capitol Hill. But I just want to be sure we're clear, having been an agent and a police officer. There is a difference between an agent, I know you know this, I don't mean to sound uh ridiculous. an agent, meaning a trained GS1811 federal agent and a source or an asset, there's a difference. So, when you see the material, which I promise you is coming, again, I'm not asking you to trust us. I know it's coming because I saw it yesterday. When you see it, I I just want you to understand that that it's not an apology for anything. Thank you. But there's a difference between agents and assets. And I I just hope when people put that information out there, they make the distinction. Not that it's better or worse, but there's a a distinction there. It's a very important distinction. And I want to level set here. I want the American public to go back and look at what our predecessors stated to Congress under oath, that there were no FBI sources utilized in and around January 6th. I'm going to leave it at that, but go play the vide tape and look for this material coming to Congress. You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. People don't believe it. Well, I mean, listen, they have a right to their opinion, but as someone who has worked as a public defender, as a prosecutor, who's been in that prison system, who's been in the Metropolitan Detention Center, who's been in segregated housing, um, you know, a suicide when you see one, and that's what that was. He killed himself. You again, you want me to I've I've seen the whole file. He killed himself. I know it's hard work, but you promoted Steven Jensen, the architect of the FBI's overzealous January 6th investigation. I want the American public to realize what we did. That man was in a position where he literally fought back against the machine who was saying, \"We want to politicize this event. We want to politicize this event.\" And at the end of the day, remember, Maria, there's a chain of command here. So you can fight back your chain of command to a certain degree before they fire you. And Steve Jensen and other folks were promoted because they embody what the American public demands of FBI agents to get to the bottom of something like January 6th and the pipe bomber case, for example. You need three things. You need people, you need information, and you need people with information. I'll allow the public to put that together and just wait and you'll see. Nothing we're doing, nothing is by accident. People who are quote unquote supposedly on the side of reporting truthfully should take a look at this instance because they are setting up circular firing squads. And Dan and I have already told the FBI, every employee that acted appropriately, we are going to defend you to the hill literally, no matter the consequences. But for the media who's gone through the disinformation cycle of Russia gate of January 6, for them to come in here and take the clickbait and write articles based on halftruths doesn't hurt us. This is what I'll tell you something we I didn't I didn't think we're going to get into today, but every morning we tell our leadership cadre when we sit down with them. Nothing written in the media is going to affect him or me. Look, you said illegal uh illegal alien criminals and child predators are next in your ongoing crackdown. Oh, yeah. How are you going to do it? The illegal immigration problem with 20 million people came in. Yeah. Okay. Most of them probably were here to work and but a lot of them weren't. They were here to traffic in kids and fentanel. If you were here illegally, the administration's approach, which the director and I have actioned through the agents in the field, is listen, I'm speaking a bit hyperbolically, but correct me if I'm wrong. You're the lawyer. We're giving you about five minutes to cooperate. If you're here illegally, five minutes, you're out. Title 8, Aea, whatever we've got. We're not wasting an agent who's making uh, you know, a decent salary who we train. We're not wasting three weeks of his time to beg you for information for a profer. We're not. We're kicking you out. The president's going to seal the border. In the first two, three months that we've been in the seat under Donald Trump's administration, he has sealed the border. He has stopped border crossings. So where's all the fentanyl coming from still? Where's the trafficking coming from still? Where is all where are all the narot traffickers going to keep bringing this stuff into the country? The northern border. Our adversaries have partnered up with the CCP and others, Russia, Iran, on a variety of different criminal enterprises. And they're going and they're sailing around to Vancouver and coming in by air. And the sheer tyranny of distance of the northern border and the lack of cooperation from federal authorities and prior administrations to actually firm up that northern border is what's causing a continuation of violent crime. Now, we're focused on it and we're calling our state and local law enforcement partners up there. But you know who has to get to step in is Canada because they're making it up there and shipping it down here. And I don't care about getting into this debate about making someone the 51st state or not, but they are our partner in the north. And say what you want about Mexico, but they helped us seal the southern border. The facts speak for themselves. The border that's open, I'll give you a statistic that I gave to Congress that nobody was paying attention to. Over 300 known or suspected terrorists crossed into this country last year illegally. Known or suspected terrorists, not illegals. Not just illegals, known or suspected terrorists. 85% of them came in through the northern border. This year, 100 known or suspected terrorists have crossed into this country illegally. 60 for south and north. Gentlemen, we've hit on so much today and I really appreciate your time. I'm so happy that we were able to sit down with you so your viewers can see it. We're not doing a lot of media and we're going to continue to not do a lot of media. But you have reported truthfully for years even when it wasn't popular, when it wasn't fun, when it cost you money, and when it cost you personally. So that's why we welcomed you to the Hoover building. We welcome, yes, we do have an indoor shooting range, which we'll get you to soon. Um, but we really appreciate you having the audacity to continue to report the truth. I'm Steve Ducey. I'm Brian Kilme. And I'm Anley Airheart.
