So let's talk about this annex, which is really just more documentation in this case. Does Congress need to do this, or can the FBI do it themselves? Yeah, look, Cash Patel has called upon Congress to release them, but there's nothing that precludes the Department of Justice now that the documents have been declassified, and I'm sure there's some redactions in there that the Department of Justice can release this tomorrow if they really wanted to. I think it's a courtesy, though, to a Chairman Grassley, Chairman Jordan, those types of people who are trying to put together a bigger, broader case. But yeah, they should release those documents. There should be a hearing where you bring these people in and they can make the case and force these people to answer questions under oath. And as it relates to Adam Schiff, I tell you, it's the first time I felt like he really is in trouble, not only on the mortgage front, but when you have a staffer, a Democratic staffer, allegedly, the story is that he has told investigators that he was directed to release classified information. You got to prosecute somebody like that. As a member of Congress, you have a very high security clearance, but you still sign a document. You still sign an extra document. I think they should pull that out, put that out there for the American people. Every member of Congress signs it, says you won't release that information. And if he did, and he did it purposefully, and he was using federal employees to do so, you got to prosecute the guy. Yeah, because it comes down to a double standard, Kevin. 100%. There have been members of the military who mistakenly share closet information, not deliberately, who have served prison time for doing that. And yet, there's people like Adam Schiff who tend to get away with it. But the thing that jumps out at me is, Schiff was allegedly leaking classified information, but the information that was classified was really just classified to cover up what the Clinton campaign was doing with the Intelligence Committee. So it shouldn't have been classified in the first place. It's like when they redact things about furniture, because they don't want to be embarrassed. I mean, they're much worse than that. But this information should have been classified in the first place, it seems. And this is the real issue that happens a lot in Washington. Jason, you can speak to this sometimes in an overabundance of caution. You can have basically black sharpie all throughout a document. The truth is, some of this, and I dare argue, a lot of this need not be redacted. And let's be honest about what we've seen here. We've seen congressional lawmakers possibly involved in a grand conspiracy to utilize material that they knew to be false or misleading to undermine a sitting president of the United States of America to circumvent the will of the American people. This is not a small matter. And I think, whether it's Adam Schiff, whether it's James Comey and others, Clapper, we can run down the list. I think justice must be served to prevent this from ever happening again. Anita, I think there's a lot of Americans watching and saying, OK, there is new information here, but why is Congress looking at this? What are the next steps here for what the American people can expect for information from their lawmakers? Yeah. Well, we talked about this last night. You know, it's so interesting that after eight years, the story is finally moving forward. Finally. Finally. Documents are coming to light. Investigations will soon be underway about how this whole Russian collusion narrative came to light and how it did truly undermine the presidency of Donald Trump. And it really and we talked about this last night, how it affected his relationship with Putin and other world leaders. It also brought down the careers of people like Michael Flynn and others. And now the big question will be, you know, will there be consequences for the people that you mentioned that are possibly involved here, including Hillary Clinton? Yeah. And Jason, we have elections every four years. So the big overriding thing here is, is this problem solved? Is the deep state still going to work with Democratic operatives to essentially try and rig an election with this false narrative in an official intelligence document that was then used to, you know, to torpedo the first four years of the Trump administration, which led to impeachments and special counsels and all of that. I mean, there are big questions about whether this ideology has been rooted out of these places. No, if you think the deep state is done trying to go after Donald Trump or Republicans and conservatives. I know this thing coming. The reality is the allegation is that the Clinton campaign set aside 10 million dollars. They gave it. They put it over. They created this fake dossier, which was the precursor that led to all these articles in the newspaper. But more importantly, and this one still just sticks under my craw, is this idea that they use this as the predicate to do what they shouldn't have done, which is spy on the on the Trump campaign and others related to him to go to the court, testify in writing that you have verified information that you could go after these people because you have seen these documents. And I'm talking about James Comey and others. And you go to the court and get the court to allow you to spy on somebody doesn't get any worse than that. Don't tell me that all that happened a long time ago and all that's already been exposed. You got to prosecute people who do those types of things that court. And where's the court? Yeah, where is the court? You lie to the court in another setting. Do you think they would ever ever called you in contempt? Where is where is the Supreme Court? Yes. And we don't ever see that the FISA court and we have to reform the FISA court. This is something that can never happen again. I'm so glad you pointed that out. A lot of people are. Oh, it's in the past. Like you said, oh, that's eight years ago. But the truth is, let justice be served one way or the other, though the heavens fall. We've got to get to the bottom of this and people have to pay. I got to add a little bit of color this I was on the House Judiciary Committee. I'm not an attorney and I know that sounds like I'm bragging, but I said to my chairman, I want to go to the FISA court because I want to see it. And then they admitted it's not really a court. What they do is they take this document, they give it to a federal judge who sits in a skiff by himself and there's nobody else there. And they just read these documents. So if you're not 100 percent certain on those documents, guess what? You have lied to the court. You have deceived the American people, you have undermined justice, and that's why you have to be held accountable. You can't just get away with it and say, well, you know, I based it on intelligence. I mean, it's just gibberish. You either lied or you didn't lie. And I'm sorry, but it looks like they lie. Yes, it does. To your point. Real quick, if these things bear out, right? If these things come to light and they bear out, this makes Watergate look like small potatoes. Absolutely. It really does. They ruin people's lives, as you mentioned.

There is almost nothing they will not politicize. Now, that includes crime statistics. Whoa, they cooked the books. Imagine that. Are you shocked at home? Now, many in the media mob are now falsely reporting that crime is down to a 30-year low in D.C. Joe Biden was peddling the same line. But here is the data that they are trying to push as fact. Look at this headline. Quote, D.C. police commander suspended, accused of changing crime statistics. And according to a report today in the Washington Free Beacon, this is not a one-off incident. Instead, quote, officials in Washington, D.C., they often pressure officers to falsify statistics in order to make the city appear a lot safer than it is. The police union chairman, he put it this way. Quote, when our members respond to the scene of a felony offense where there is a victim reporting that a felony occurred, inevitably there will be a lieutenant or captain that will show up on the scene and direct those members to take a report for a lesser offense. He continued, quote, by changing criminal offenses, they avoid both the police department and the FBI from having to report a felony offense. And according to multiple reports, this is something that happens in almost every major blue city across the country, as if I'm informing you about something you didn't already know. And that is, there's no law, there's no order, there's no safety, there's no security. This is the result of defund, dismantle, no bail laws. But if you need another reason to doubt D.C.'s accounting, well, here is the city's police chief at a press conference earlier today getting confused by the term, so police chief, chain of command. Take a look. Can you tell us what the chain of command is now? What does that mean? Well, is it Pam Bondi speaking to the mayor? I mean, you or how does this work? So the executive order is clear. The president has requested NPD services and our home rule charter outlines the process. The president designated Attorney General Bondi as his proxy to request services through me. Simple question, how is that person in charge that does not exactly inspire confidence, to say the least? And then to make matters worse, juvenile crime is through the roof, not only in D.C., which not only obscures criminal reporting—they cook in the books—but also severely limiting prosecution, sentencing for young, violent felons. You know, they're out there committing crime after crime after crime. Take a look at that screen. For example, according to police, juveniles accounted for more than 50 percent of all robbery arrests in 2024, about 60 percent of all carjacking arrests in 2025. Another glaring indicator that our nation's capital is facing a crime crisis is the city's murder rate. It is much harder to cook the books when there is a dead human being involved. Can't exactly hide that so easily. And sadly, Washington, D.C., as one of the highest murder rates—look at this—in the entire world, look at this, 41 per 100,000, Uruguay, 16.1, you know, we have—look at Baghdad. How is it possible in D.C. more than double the rate in Baghdad, almost triple, for crying out loud? Nigeria, Washington's murder rate is many times higher than Panama City, Panama, Bogota, Colombia, Mexico City, Havana, Cuba, El Salvador, just about every other capital city on the planet. But according to many on the left, Trump is racist. He's a dictator for lawfully using the federal government to restore safety and security, law and order in our capital city, so that we can save lives. What an interesting thought. Take a look. You don't think more police make streets safer? No, Joe, I'm a black woman in America. I do not always think that more police make streets safer. When I go to D.C., I'm not afraid of losing my wallet so much as I'm afraid of losing my vote. I'm not afraid of losing my wallet so much as I'm afraid that my children's freedom to breathe will be stolen in a world where climate change policy is nonexistent. You may recall at the Democratic convention, I spoke one evening and I said, the project 2025 is Jim Crow 2.0. I can tell you right now exactly what is going to happen in so many of these instances because it's all right there. If you look in the history books, you see it. By children's freedom to breathe will be stolen. Jim Crow 2.0. Then you have Mr. Fang Fang. Eric Swalwell had a slightly different take. He's now accusing Trump of being responsible for every new murder in the city. After all, he took over just a few hours ago. Now, this hysteria is nothing new. Frankly, it doesn't really matter. Here's the million-dollar question. Ask yourself at home. Why do Democrats care? Why don't they care about law and order, safety and security? Why are they staunch advocates of failed policies, defund, dismantle, reimagine the police, no bail laws? Why did they flat out lie to you about Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Mayorkas' open borders that allowed, let's see, known terrorists, murderers, rapists, other violent criminals, cartel members, gang members, drug dealers, all unvetted into our country some 12 to 20 million. Nobody knows the real number. In fairness, not everyone on the left is actually on the same page. Some Democrats are even quietly now supporting President Trump. Shockingly, our old friend, liberal Joe, actually made sense for once. I was shocked. Take a look. I will just go back to the fact that the people that are cheering this on privately are not like right-wing Republicans, are not MAGA people. A lot of our friends are in the media. And also, Democrats had worked on Joe Biden's campaign, they worked on other campaigns that are saying, "Yeah, I'd like to feel safe walking around this city." If the federal government can be a positive partner in keeping the streets safe, while again, forming a partnership with the DC police and not taking over, at least the people I've spoken with that live in DC day in, day out, see this as a positive step. If all his Democratic friends in DC wanted this, why didn't they demand Joe Biden do something about it? By the way, it's not only liberal Joe. Here's one ABC reporter sharing her experience from living and working in our nation's capital. Take a look. I can tell you firsthand here in downtown DC where we work, right here around our bureau, just in the past six months, there were two people shot. One person died, literally two blocks down here from the bureau. It was within the last two years that I actually was jumped walking just two blocks down from here. And then just this morning, one of my coworkers said her car was stolen a block away from the bureau. So we can talk about the numbers going down, but crime is happening every single day because we're all experiencing it firsthand while working and living down here. All right. Does that seem like a safe city to you? Is that the best we can do in our nation's capital? And it's not just violent crime, try walking into a CVS anywhere in DC. Everything's under lock and key. Car is routinely broken into. Massive theft, major problem. Look at your screen. Even our friend, Sean Duffy, transportation secretary of our country, was robbed. A porch pirate stopped by his house just stole everything on his farm porch. And let's not forget about the homeless crisis in DC. I've seen it firsthand. And this is before the president was sworn in, homeless encampments, open air drug use, public defecation were commonplace, including inside our national parks and monuments and the front lawn of Union Station. There is some good news tonight. According to even fake news, CNN, a superhero has come to the rescue. I don't think they meant this as a compliment. Take a look. Donald Trump makes himself Batman and the nation's capital is Gotham City. The president of the United States has declared himself crime fighter in chief and he's taking over Washington's police force. It is a move that the DC mayor is calling unsettling and unprecedented. Now, Trump is painting it as an emergency, that DC is a hellhole. Again, I'm not sure if CNN meant that as an insult, but President Trump most definitely is trying to save DC, trying to make it more safe. You know, whether woke residents like it or not. Now, first, the president is quickly clearing all homeless encampments across the city. He's giving these individuals three options. Take a look. For far too long, these laws have been completely ignored and the homelessness problem has ravaged the city. So DC code 22-1307 and DC municipal regulation 24100 give the Metropolitan Police Department the authority to take action when it comes to homeless encampments. So homeless individuals will be given the option to leave their encampment, to be taken to a homeless shelter, to be offered addiction or mental health services. And if they refuse, they will be susceptible to fines or to jail time. Again, these are pre-existing laws that are already on the books. They have not been enforced. President Trump deploying the National Guard, other federal law enforcement and en masse across the city, especially in vulnerable areas. During last night's operation, 23 suspected criminals were removed from the streets, including someone accused of murder. And this is really just day one. Now, this was the help of Washington, D.C. Everything that they needed in years to come. If they get the courage, the city's residents hopefully will one day thank President Trump. More importantly, lives will be safe.
