LAWRENCE.
>> CHAD, THANKS SO MUCH,
BROTHER.
JASON CHAFFETZ FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN.
I THINK THERE IS SOME CONFUSION.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO CARE
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY
6th.
THEY DON’T WANT IT TO EVER
HAPPEN AGAIN.
THEY WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE
SECURITY MEASURES SO PEOPLE
THAT ARE ENEMIES TO OUR COUNTRY
DON’T GET TO EXPLOIT IT IN THE
FUTURE.
BUT THEY ALSO CARE ABOUT WHAT
IS HAPPENING TO THEM ON THE
DAY-TO-DAY BASIS.
THEY CARE ABOUT WHAT IS
HAPPENING AT THE PUMP AND WHEN
THEY GET GROCERIES.
IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE THE
DEMOCRATS ARE ABLE TO SQUARE
THAT POINT.
WHERE AM I GOING WRONG HERE,
SIR?
>> WELL, FOCUS DETERMINES
REALITY.
I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A
ROBUST INVESTIGATION OF WHAT
HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6th.
IT WAS A HORRIFIC DAY.
BUT WHEN YOU PUT IT IN PRIME
TIME AND RUN A SHAM OF A
HEARING IN THAT YOU DON’T ALLOW
THE MINORITY TO HAVE
REPRESENTATION THERE, I THINK
AMERICA FIGURES OUT QUICKLY IT
IS A MADE FOR TV SHOW EVENT
THAT THEY ARE NOT REALLY --
THEY’VE ALREADY MADE UP THEIR
MIND.
THEY ARE PRESENTING THINGS TO
TRY TO KNOCK ON DONALD TRUMP.
AND WHAT THEY DON’T SEE IS THE
VIBRANT PRIME TIME DISCUSSION
AND INVESTIGATION ABOUT
INFLATION, IMMIGRATION.
THEY JUST -- THE CORE THINGS,
CRIME.
WE DON’T SEE THE HEARINGS ON
THAT.
JERRY NADLER IN JUDICIARY COULD
BE HAVING A SERIES OF THINGS
ABOUT SHOOTINGS IN CHICAGO OR
HOMELESSNESS OR SOME OF THESE
DEMOCRATIC POLICIES.
ARE THEY WORKING OR NOT WORKING?
WE KNOW THEY’RE NOT WORKING.
SO DESPITE WHAT NANCY PELOSI
SAYS AT THE PODIUM, AMERICANS
FIGURE THIS OUT.
THEY GO TO THE GAS PUMP AND
SPENDING $100 TO FILL UP THEIR
TRUCK AND IT DOESN’T GET TO
FULL.
THE CREDIT CARD MAXS OUT.
IT IS A REAL, REAL PROBLEM AND
THE DEMOCRATS ARE JUST
OBLIVIOUS SAYING IT IS ALL
PUTIN’S FAULT.
LIKE HE RUNS THE WORLD.
PUTIN DOES IT -- WHERE IS THE
PRESIDENT?
HOW COME HE DOESN’T HAVE A PLAN?
YOU HAVE KNOW WHERE HE IS THIS
HOUR?
GETTING ON A PLAN TO GO ON
VACATION AGAIN TO RHODE ISLAND
AND GO TO A BEACH.
THAT DOES NOT SIGNIFY
CONFIDENCE OR CARING.
>> WHY WAS THERE SUCH AN EFFORT
TO GET RID OF REGULAR ORDER IN
CONGRESS?
THESE RULES HAVE BEEN
IMPLEMENTED FOR OVER 100 YEARS
WHERE THE MINORITY PARTY,
WHETHER YOU DISAGREE OR AGREE
WITH THEM GETS THEIR SHOT TO
PAINT THEIR NARRATIVE AND ASK
THEIR QUESTIONS AND CALL THEIR
WITNESSES.
WHY DID THE SPEAKER DECIDE TO
REMOVE THAT?
>> BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T WANT TO
ANSWER SOME HARD QUESTIONS
HERSELF LIKE HOW COME SHE
DIDN’T SECURE THE CAPITOL.
WHERE WERE THE NATIONAL GUARD?
HOW COME THE CAPITOL POILS WERE
ILL PREPARED?
SHE DOESN’T WANT TO ANSWER
THOSE QUESTIONS.
THEY WANT A NARRATIVE IN ONE
DIRECTION.
THERE IS BASIC FAIRNESS IN THIS
COUNTRY EVEN IF YOU’VE MADE UP
YOUR MIND I THINK MOST PEOPLE
KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THAT BOTH
SIDES GET TO PRESENT THEIR CASE
AND GET TO ASK QUESTIONS AND
THERE IS A REASON WHY THEY
DIDN’T WANT CONGRESSMAN BANKS
AND JORDAN ASKING TOUGH
QUESTIONS.
THEY JUST SHIED AWAY FROM THAT
AND THEY WERE AFRAID OF IT AND
THE COUNTRY IS WORSE FOR IT.
>> THE COUNTRY IS WORSE FOR IT.
CRIME IS ON THE RISE IN NEW
YORK CITY, ALL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
A CAREER CRIMINAL OUT ON BAIL
RANDOMLY SHRUGGED A WOMAN ON
THE STREET.
THE DEAL CUT BY ALVIN]
DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
LOS ANGELES DISTRICT ATTORNEY
GASCON’S POLICIES A MAN WHO
LATER GUNNED DOWN TWO POLICE
OFFICER WHO DIED ON THE SCENE.
PROSECUTORS WERE PUSHING FOR A
THREE-YEAR SENTENCE FOR THE
GUNMAN.
GASCON’S OFFICE INSISTED IT WAS
FOLLOWING THE LAW.
RECORDS SHOW AT LEAST 156
POLICE OFFICERS HAVE BEEN SHOT
ACROSS THE COUNTRY SINCE THE
BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.
SO THE QUESTION IS, JASON, WHAT
ARE THEY GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS?
THIS IS NOT JUST HAPPENING IN
NEW YORK CITY, SAN FRANCISCO,
OR ALL THE MAJOR CITIES.
IT’S HAPPENING IN SUBURBS.
AS YOU KNOW, EVEN IF IT’S A
REPUBLICAN SUBURB, THE COUNTY
PROS KOOUTS AND IT IS
PROGRESSIVES THAT ARE LEADING
THE CHARGE ON THIS.
>> YEAH.
LOOK, IT WAS TWO YEARS AGO
KAMALA HARRIS WAS OUT THERE
RAISING MONEY TO HELP BAIL
PEOPLE OUT AND GET THEM OUT AS
FAST AS POSSIBLE.
YOU DIDN’T HEAR AND YOU STILL
DON’T HEAR AN IMPASSIONED PLEA
THAT SAYS WE WANT CRIMINALS TO
BE PROSECUTED AND TO DO THEIR
TIME.
YOU DON’T HEAR ANY ADVOCACY BY
THE DEMOCRATS TO SAY YOU KNOW
WHAT?
WHAT ABOUT THE VICTIMS IN THIS
CASE?
WHAT ABOUT THE PHARMACY THAT IS
JUST GOING TO PACK UP AND LEAVE
OUT OF THAT COMMUNITY THAT
REALLY NEEDS IT IS MOST?
YOU DON’T HEAR ANY OF THAT
DISCUSSION.
AND I HAVE HEARD YOU PERSONALLY
TALK ABOUT THIS AND THE PASSION
THAT YOU HAVE.
BUT WE LOVE OUR POLICE OFFICERS
AND IF YOU WANT A SAFE
COMMUNITY YOU WILL NEED A
POLICE OFFICER THAT HAS THE
MORAL SUPPORT OF NOT ONLY THE
ELECTED OFFICIALS BUT THE
COMMUNITY AT LARGE AND THEN A
PROSECUTOR ONCE THEY DO ARREST
SOMEBODY THAT ACTUALLY PROS
KOOUTS -PROSECUTES THEM.
NOT LIKE THE TWO POLICE
OFFICERS IN CALIFORNIA WHO DIED
BY SOMEBODY WHO SHOULD HAVE
BEEN BEHIND BARS.
>> POLICE DON’T WANT TO DO THE
JOB ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THE TONE
AND TENOR SET IN THE CITIES.
CHECK THIS OUT.
"NEW YORK POST" OP-ED.
POLICE OFFICERS HAVE ALWAYS
RISKED THEIR LIVES WHEN THEY GO
ON BADGE AND GO ON PATROL BUT
THEY DIDN’T SIGN UP TO SERVE
UNDER A SYSTEM THAT PROTECTS
THE CRIMINAL MORE THAN THE
VICTIM OR THE PEACE OFFICERS.
L.A. COUNTY HAS MORE RESIDENTS
THAN MANY STATES AND THEY ALL
DESERVE BETTER.
THIS GUY HAS A TRACK RECORD IN
L.A., OKAY?
10 YEARS AGO WHEN HE WAS DOING
THE ROBBERIES.
THEN IN 2020 HE HAS A GUN
CHARGE WITH DRUGS.
THE GIRLFRIEND DAYS BEFORE
CALLS THE COPS AND SAYS THIS
GUY IS THREATENING ME.
THEY DIDN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT
IT.
THE COPS TRIED TO.
D.A. DIDN’T WANT TO DO ANYTHING
ABOUT IT.
THE WIFE IS AT THE HOTEL.
GIRLFRIEND AND WIFE, TWO
DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
SHE IS TRYING TO FLEE HIM AND
NOW THEY WANT TO HAVE AN
INVESTIGATION, JASON.
WE KNOW --
>> THIS IS WHAT SO WRONG IN LAW
ENFORCEMENT TODAY.
WE NEED TO PAY THE PEOPLE MORE
AND SUPPORT THEM MORE AND WHEN
THEY RISK THEIR LIVES AND TAKE
PEOPLE OFF THE STREETS, THEY’VE
GOT TO BE PROSECUTED.
AND TOO MANY OF THESE
PROSECUTORS HAVE FIGURED OUT
LET’S PUT THEM BACK ON THE
STREETS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
THAT’S UP TO VOTERS WHO I THINK
IN SAN FRANCISCO TOOK THE RIGHT
ACTION.
THEY GOT A CHANCE THERE IN LOS
ANGELES TO REVERSE COURSE.
BUT DON’T JUST ASSUME EVERYBODY
WILL TREAT IT THE SAME.
THEY DON’T.
WHEN THE DEPUTY D.A.s UNITE TO
SAY THIS PERSON IS A PROBLEM
THEY NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE.
OUR POLICE OFFICERS WE LOVE AND
CARE FOR THEM BUT IT IS A
DANGEROUS JOB AND THEY ARE NOT
SUPPORTED THE WAY THEY SHOULD
BE.
FOR THOSE OF US ON THE SILENT
MAJORITY NEED TO LET OUR VOICES
BE HEARD AND LET THEM KNOW WE
BACK THE BLUE.
>> I DON’T THINK PEOPLE ARE
SIENLT ANYMORE.
THEY CAN’T AFFORD TO.
THEY ARE LOSING LOVED ONES.
LIKE RUSSIAN ROULETTE WHEN YOU
WALK DOWN THE STREET IN A
LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE CITY.
THE CRIMINALS ARE EVERYWHERE.
THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THE GUNS
WHEN IT IS A MASS SHOOTING.
WHAT ABOUT THIS GUY WITH A GUN?
