In a press conference this past Tuesday, President Trump read from two of our newest research reports. One report shows how violent crime fell by 17 percent during the Trump administration and then soared by 43 percent under Biden. The second report shows how law enforcement in the U.S. has collapsed. We show how the drop in arrest rates over the last few years from 2020 to 2022 is without precedent, and that is particularly true for the largest cities. The arrest rates for violent and property crimes have never been anywhere near as low as they are now.

By the way, I got to talk to President Trump for a few minutes when he traveled to Bozeman, Montana, on August 9th. He told me he appreciated my research on crime, gun control, and vote fraud. After the assassination attempt, I was a little concerned about what impact that might have on Trump's views on gun control, but my brief meeting with me gave me confidence that his views hadn't changed.

I expand on the Democrat's false claims about crime falling in an op-ed I had in the New York Post. I discussed this in appearances on television shows such as NewsMax's Ed Henry The Briefing, One America News' Tipping Point, and The Epoch Times' American Thought Leaders. Some radio interviews that discussed this included Chicago's WIND-AM, Sebastian Gorka's national radio show, Toronto's 960 AM, and Cleveland's WHK.

Another op-ed at The Federalist discusses Democrat Governor Tim Walz's false claims about guns. One America News and Cincinnati's giant WLW had me on to talk about Kamala Harris' and Tim Walz's views on gun control.

I also appeared on Armed American Radio to discuss our new report on errors in the FBI's active shooting report.

We have continued collecting cases where people legally carrying guns in public have stopped crimes. Here are the cases that we collected for May. 

We have continued compiling examples of media bias on guns. The CW's The Professionals has another TV character saying "I told you that I don't like guns."

Finally, The Washington Times had a long front-page article covering our research on how crime has increased during the Biden administration. 

We need your support to continue doing the work that we do. Your help is greatly appreciated.
