00:00President Trump was joined in the Oval Office on Wednesday by FBI Director Cash Patel and

00:04Attorney General Pam Bondi to tout his administration's accomplishments when it

00:09comes to cutting violent crime across the country. And the president announced the

00:13results of something called Operation Summer Heat. It was a multi-agency focus on violent

00:18crime during the summer months when those numbers traditionally tick up.

00:21Working with state and local partners, the FBI arrested over 8,000 violent criminals during the

00:27course of this period. In major cities like in New Orleans, Nashville, we saw a 250% increase in

00:34arrests. Trump said FBI offices in all 50 states coordinated with 20 federal agencies to, as he

00:40reported, decrease violent crime by 20% compared to the same time last year. He said it was the

00:45largest such operation in American history. The president also revealed that the FBI went into

00:51Chicago several months before the recent and well-publicized crackdown, and he suggested that
