It's Thursday, August 21st, 2025, two of the White House's top messengers in the same place at the same time and dropping bombs, conquering the Smithsonian and painting it black on the southern border next on the AM update.

Well, the campaign to rain in crime in the nation's capital continues. Here's FBI director

0:22.6

Cash Patel, with more stats and figures of just one week, the difference that the federalization

0:28.3

0:36.0

0:39.2

Now, the totality and the brilliance of the Trump administration and the Department of Justice combining
