Hank Johnson just ridiculously suggested that the confirmation of ATF Director Dettelbach directly resulted in a decrease in violent crime.

[a 'decrease' based on false stats]

Dettelbach: We take that [budget] money, and we balance it with stopping gangs that are killing people, stopping cartels that are the most dangerous organizations in the world.

[MS-13, Gangster Disciples, Tren de Aragua, Trinitarios, Bloods, Crips, Latin Kings, Mexican Mafia, etc; all are in full operation]

Swalwell: Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia said, "The Biden DOJ and FBI were planning to assassinate President Trump, and gave the green light…what are republicans going to do about it?" This is quite a concerning statement from an elected member of congress, because this false statement creates the pretext for violence. It suggests to Americans, who, by the way, are armed to the teeth, we're a country where the most dangerous people have access to the most dangerous weapons, and it suggests to them that their own government, and the people who wear the badge, are out to assassinate the former president.

Tiffany: Is violent crime going down?

Dettelbach: According to the data I've seen, violent crime is going down, yes.

Tiffany: That's not what Director Wray told us a number of months ago when he was here before us…when we had a hearing up in New York City…we heard from city counselors and others, that the police are not charging crime, because the district attorney would not prosecute that crime.

Massie: You're including in your statistic, whether you know it or not, eighteen and nineteen year-olds, but you would never claim that those are minors in the context of gun prosecutions. The only way you can get the number of deaths attributable to firearms, above other causes, is by excluding under the age of one, and including eighteen and nineteen year-olds, particularly gang members, and including self-defense.

Hunt: Recently, lawmakers used a heartbreaking Uvalde tragedy as an opportunity to pass Red Flag legislation. This is a fact. I remember a time when we were told that Red Flag laws were simply a conspiracy theory. I'm old enough to remember that. They are not a conspiracy anymore. Red Flag laws are in bills, and they are in Biden's executive orders.

Mr. Biden: We're working with congress to designate Kenya a, 'major non-NATO ally'.

Mr. Biden: Today we are launching what we are calling the 'Nairobi-Washington' Vision. This initiative is going to bring together international financial institutions and nations from all around the world, to mobilize more resources for countries saddled with debt, to open more opportunities to the private sector financing, to promote transparent, sustainable, and affordable lending practice…we're providing two hundred and fifty million dollars, the United States is, to the World Bank…in the coming weeks, the United States is going to make an additional twenty-one billion dollars available to the International Monetary Fund…to help low-income nations invest in their development and tackle growing challenges.

Mr. Biden: I am proud to announce that I am working with congress to make Kenya the first country in Africa to receive funding through the Chips and Science Act…this funding would link their supply chains to the United States and to our partners…from Silicon Valley in California, to Silicon Savannah in Kenya.

Biden is once again taking questions from a pre-determined list of 'journalists', and also reading pre-written answers.

Press conference abruptly concluded after numerous questions shouted out to Biden.They were apparently not on the list of approved reporters.
