TRUMP’S FBI: Netting Big Fish Results In BIG Changes
We're seeing much more than cosmetic differences this time around
Personnel, they say, IS policy. The difference in how the FBI conducts itself now, compared to Trump’s FIRST term is proof positive.
In Trump 1.0, the FBI was hostile and subversive. In the Biden years, it was open season on anyone the left considered an ‘enemy’. That includes entrapment. (Remember the time a Fed infiltrated a harmless group and tried to get them to throw Molotov Coctails on unused federal property?)
Under Patel and Bongino, their energies aren’t spent on lecturing about white privilege, or trying to develop informants within participants of Latin Mass. There’s no terror watch lists for parents upset about schools hiding the fact that a teenage girl was sexually attacked in her washroom by a boy in a skirt. Rather than pressing charges, he was relocated to another school where he victimized another unsuspecting girl.
Gone are the days of something like 60% of FBI man-hours being spent on senseless J6 cases.
No more.
In this administration, their energies are being spent on a radical new priority: catching bad guys. Go figure. And just two months in, we’re already seeing results in a couple of ways.
First, bad guys are being found and caught.
From Kash himself, we’ve got reports of a top dog in MS-13 getting collared:
When an institution like that walks away from the woke nonsense and turns their attention on fulfilling the actual mission, that gets peoples’ attention.
The FBI received a record number of new agent applications in Director Kash Patel’s first full month leading the bureau, with the flood of law enforcement job-seekers nearly doubling the monthly average since 2016.
There were 5,577 new FBI agent applications submitted in March, Fox News Digital has learned.
The last time the bureau saw a monthly figure even close to that number was April 2016, with 5,283 applications.
By comparison, the monthly average in 2023 was 2,797 applications, with 3,383 applications per month in 2024, according to FBI data reviewed by Fox News Digital. — FoxNews
There’s a less obvious reason that a of flood of applications like this one represents very good news. It represents people coming there for the right reasons… meaning it’s a strong first step in stocking the talent pool. It’s a key part of reversing the one-party capture of the bureaucracy that we’ve seen on display there in recent years.
It’s not the only place we’re seeing such turnaround either.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth took to social media to announce that the service achieved its “best recruiting numbers” last month — its highest since 2010.
The numbers surpassed a 12-year record set in December 2024, when the service said it enlisted nearly 350 soldiers per day.
Hegseth credited the surge to President Donald Trump, asserting that America’s youth are now eager to serve under a “bold and strong, America-first leadership.” — Defense Post
Looks like Obama was right: elections really DO have consequences.

Trump has unveiled his reciprocal tariffs and Jesse walks us through the implications
If you didn’t have time to catch all of Trump’s speech, Jesse will help you with the highlights.
Economics is all about understanding the behavior of crowd and their buying decisions.
Trump has spent his entire life with a laser focus on exactly that sort of question… now he’s elevating the principles he’s learned at the interpersonal and business-to-business levels and applying them to the interactions of nations.
Remember when Obama taunted Trump when he asked that question about what ‘magic wand’ Trump would wave to deliver all of his bold promises?
No surprise, but Trump obviously knew something about what a President can do that Barack didn’t. And now he’s putting it to work.
Trump is blazing a new path, drawing heavily on lessons learned during the Gilded Age of America. The reciprocal wrinkle leverages the desire other countries have of selling to the US market, pressuring other countries to reduce their own protectionist strategies in exchange for broad access to US markets.
If this works as he has envisioned it, he’s setting up a win-win scenario. Countries that want to play ball with us will lower their trade barriers and tariffs, letting both countries have the benefit of access to the markets. Customers will benefit.
Those who do NOT want to play ball will sell their products here at the same disadvantages that our products face there. That will do one of two things: it will either make them pressure their governments to rethink their trade barriers or it will create an opening where companies from elsewhere (maybe even here!) can out-compete.
Trump reminds us that there was a time before income tax when tariffs like this one helped build America’s Gilded Age.
He’s swinging for the fences in his belief that this same formula — with a few modern tweaks — will recapture that same magic and bring a nearly-bankrup America not only ‘back from the brink’ but open up a whole new Golden Age.
And no wonder: we’ve all seen enough of his buildings to know how he LOVES to dress up anything he touches with gold.
Will there be some hiccups as the market adjusts to new realities? Of course. That happens with EVERY kind of change. But Trump’s confident he’s got all the cards here, and he’s pushing in all his chips.
Time will tell if he’s right, or if there’s a wildcard out there that he didn’t account for. But for the moment, there’s a lot of optimism around this fresh new idea.
Especially now that a few countries — yes, we’re looking at YOU, Canada — have already blinked.
