We are now joined by Tom Homan, the Border Czar. Welcome back, sir. How are you? And I guess it's one year later. You guys cleaned up Washington, DC. Well, look, America should be celebrating. President Trump, once again, promises made, promises kept. I mean, a year ago, like you said, he said, let's clean up DC. We're the strongest nation on the face of the earth. We should have the safest capital. This should be a shiny example of the entire world. And it wasn't. I mean, I would not walk the streets of DC two years ago without a concealed weapon. It's dangerous. The crime was rampant. Homicides were rampant. And in the year that President Trump has taken on DC, you're talking over 16,000 of them rest. You're talking almost 2,000 weapons, firearms, taken off the streets of Washington, DC. Now, I work in this city every day. Now, the city, I've never seen it so clean and so safe. Again, promises made, promises kept. I just wish cities like Chicago would take President Trump on his offer and help clean up Chicago and stop them massive shootings every weekend. Let's take a look at some of the numbers. Here's homicide, C03, please. We're talking down a very significant amount so far. Let me ask you, how much of this was an illegal migrant problem as opposed to, you know, American born and raised criminals? It was a big problem with illegal aliens in Washington, DC. Washington, DC is very proud of being a sanctuary. And when President Trump started this operation, we had more cooperation with the local PD than we ever had before on immigration related matters. I mean, you know, and that's just not Washington, DC, Greg. I look at the numbers. You know, June, June, ICE arrested more illegal aliens than any time in the history of the agency. In July, they blew June numbers away. The last two months, record deportation, never seen anything like it before under President Trump's leadership. But in DC, we took thousands of illegal aliens off the street and a percentage of them were public safety threats. They're no longer here. They're out of the country that have been deported. You know, I hear sometimes from some of my allies in MAGA and they feel, and maybe they're misinformed, that mass deportations have been scaled back, that we're not seeing the mass deportations that a lot of folks wanted to see. What would you say to those folks? I don't know what these numbers indicate. You say they're higher than ever before, higher than under Obama. So what do you say to those people who may not be satisfied? Look at the data. I mean, what I just said was, I mean, people said, well, we're not making many arrests who did last year. That's a bunch of crap. I mean, June was the highest month in the history of the agency. July, they broke another record. And I expect to break another record in August. We'll remove more people. Record number of arrests and deportations, despite the fact, now, this is what people need to understand. They think it's just, well, go arrest an alien and deport them. No, we got to find the alien who don't want to be found. We got to take him to detention. Then there's a process, get travel documents, get orders to remove them. It's just not a daily thing. It doesn't happen that easily. But record numbers in the last two months, despite the fact, we got over 100 nationwide injunctions filed against us. So we're constantly in court with these radical judges. We had, last count, over 65,000 habeas cases. That's 65,000 aliens that we weren't allowed to detain, which means now they're back in the wind. We got to go find them again. Radical judges in the sanctuary cities are trying to slow this down. And they have a little bit. But bottom line is, despite all that, despite the injunctions, despite the radical judges, despite the sanctuary cities, despite the difficulty removing aliens to countries that don't want to give us travel documents, we're making record. Historic number of arrests and deportations, despite all that, am I happy with the number right now? No, I want more too. And as we bring these thousands of more agents on, we expect those numbers to increase. And we're going to keep fighting. DOJ is fighting the sanctuary cities. We win some of those cases in sanctuary cities, you're going to see the numbers climb even further. I'm pushing for more work site enforcement operations, and that's happening now. So I expect the numbers to climb, even though they're historic, I'm not happy either. I want more. Real quick, this is President Trump from the Oval Office. Taking advantage of the birth tourism situation. C-0-9, please. How many individuals take advantage of birth tourism? Is there a number that you-- I'll tell you right now. Hundreds of thousands, okay? Hundreds of thousands. One man came in with a family head, said he had 56 children. Another one came in, they said they had 98 children. This was not what it was for. This was meant for the babies of slaves. It was right after one week or two weeks after the Civil War ended. And this is probably going to go probably back to the Supreme Court. I think that's where it's headed. Hey, listen, Tom Homan, we have to go. Real quick, Tom Homan, the border czar. Do you have a formal name like for your title, like the drug czar, is like the Director of National Drug Control, something or other. Is there a formal subtitle to border czar? Assistant to the president. There you go. I like it. Very prestigious. But maybe not as prestigious as border czar. Border czar has us. Border czar rocks. Border czar rocks. And remember, the other border czar we had made quite a change from the last border czar. We sure did. We sure did. I wonder if she could find that on a map. I really, really do. Tom Homan, thank you very much. The border czar and assistant to the president. To be continued, sir, and we'll be right back.

A wordless amplification of a cable-news segment in which Border Czar Tom Homan praises the subject for the one-year-old Washington, D.C. enforcement surge. With no authored text, the analyzable behavior is curation. Two functions are stacked. First, supply-by-proxy: praise delivered by a subordinate ('promises made, promises kept,' 'never seen anything like it before under President Trump's leadership') is more usable than self-praise and, forwarded without comment, preserves deniability about seeking it. Second, and more diagnostically interesting, the selected clip is built around rebutting the subject's own base — the host raises doubt from 'allies in MAGA' that deportations have been scaled back, and Homan answers 'that's a bunch of crap.' Choosing a defensive segment over a purely celebratory one suggests intra-coalition skepticism is registering, consistent with the reported Carlson-faction break days earlier. The amplified material supplies a self-sealing blame architecture — results historic, obstruction total ('radical judges,' 'sanctuary cities') — that retains credit while pre-assigning fault. Grandiosity is present but delegated; no rage, no acute injury, no first-person expansiveness. Danger is elevated rather than high: no individuated target and no implied follower action, but the clip normalizes an armed federal surge as settled success and openly solicits its extension to Chicago. Cognitive status is not assessable — no subject-produced language exists in this post, and the transcript belongs to other speakers.

Indicators:
  • Posted ~8:03 PM Eastern (2026-08-13T00:02:57Z), outside business hours and within the subject's documented evening cable-news reaction window
  • Media-only with no caption, hashtag, or framing text — staff amplification more typically carries a caption or call to action
  • Content is a just-aired TV segment praising him, matching a long-standing real-time-television reposting pattern
  • No stylometric evidence exists: zero subject-produced text in the post
  • Counter-indicator: a digital/comms team clipping a favorable surrogate hit is an equally routine explanation

Danger Assessment

Elevated

Indicators:
  • Amplifies an open solicitation to extend federal law-enforcement deployment to another American city ('I just wish cities like Chicago would take President Trump on his offer and help clean up Chicago')
  • Normalizes an armed federal surge in a U.S. capital as an unambiguous, celebrated success one year on
  • Amplifies a quarry metaphor applied to human beings ('find the alien who don't want to be found,' 'back in the wind') — depersonalizing though short of explicit bestial dehumanization
  • Amplifies delegitimization of the judiciary as 'radical judges' obstructing lawful federal operations
  • Mitigating: no individuated target, no grievance-plus-implied-action pattern, no violent or eliminationist imagery, no call to follower mobilization
Reality Distortions:
  • Amplified (not authored): unaudited agency totals presented as settled fact — 'over 16,000' arrests, 'almost 2,000 weapons' in D.C.
  • Amplified: causal attribution of D.C. crime decline to immigration enforcement, asserted rather than demonstrated
  • Amplified: '65,000 habeas cases' and 'over 100 nationwide injunctions' offered without provenance
  • Card stacking by omission — no countervailing data, cost, or civil-liberties consideration appears in the selected segment

Daily Digest A day written mostly by staff, broken once by six words about his own pen

Trump's account posted heavily, but he wrote almost none of it. The bulk of the day was a rapid batch of campaign endorsements — more than a dozen New York and Florida candidates, all cut from the same template — pushed out in barely over an hour of the late afternoon and then reposted onto his own ...
