>> President Biden: I’VE SAID
IT BEFORE, THE ANSWER IS NOT TO
DEFUND OUR POLICE DEPARTMENTS.
IT IS TO FUND OUR POLICE AND
GIVE THEM ALL THE TOOLS THEY
NEED, TRAINING AND FOUNDATION
AND PARTNERS AND PROTECTORS
THAT OUR COMMUNITIES NEED.
>> Harris: WELL, MAYBE HE HAS
AN EYE ON THE MID-TERM
ELECTIONS AND YES, I’M
COUNTING, 224 DAYS FROM NOW.
PRESIDENT BIDEN INSISTING HE IS
ALL FOR FUNDING THE POLICE.
AS HE UNVEILED A BUDGET WHICH
CALLS FOR BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
ADDITIONALLY FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
MOST PROGRAMS IN THE BUDGET ARE
NOT NEW JUST REPURPOSED WITH
NEW NAMES.
MAYBE THEY HAVE TO TRY TO HIRE
BACK ALL THE PEOPLE THEY
DEFUNDED.
WELL, THERE ARE 250 MILLION
DOLLARS FOR A NEW COMMUNITY
PROGRAM EFFORT, THE DOJ ADDING
131 ATTORNEYS, 34 MILLION
DOLLARS TO KEEP PROSECUTING THE
JANUARY 6th RIOT, FOR EXAMPLE.
CRITICS SAY THE PLAN FALLS WAY
SHORT.
>> LOOK AT WHAT IS ACTUALLY IN
THIS REQUEST, THERE IS ONLY 527
MILLION GOING TO THE COPS GRANT
AND THAT’S WHAT IS HITTING AND
AFFECTING OUR LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
THERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY
TO THE TUNE OF BILLIONS FOR ATF
AND MORE GUN CONTROL MEASURES
AND GUN BUY BACK MEASURES WHICH
IN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S
WORD ARE TO CURB GUN VIOLENCE.
ALL THESE THINGS DO IS KEEP
GUNS AND WEAPONS OUT OF LAW
ABIDING CITIZENS HANDS AND
DOESN’T DO ANYTHING TO CURB THE
CRIME.
IT IS A SMOKE AND MIRRORS
MISDIRECTION.
>> Harris: IT IS ALL HAPPENING
AS CRIME KEEPS SURGING IN
MOSTLY DEMOCRAT-LED LARGE
CITIES.
LET’S TAKE NEW YORK CITY.
NYPD REPORTS 25 SHOOTINGS LAST
WEEK.
THAT’S UP FROM THE SAME TIME
LAST YEAR.
TRANSIT CRIMES ARE UP NEARLY
21%.
ROBBERIES 48%.
FELONY ASSAULTS 22%.
CAR THEFTS A WHOPPING 77%.
VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE IN THE CITY
RANGE FROM CHILDREN AGE 3 AND 7
TO A 73-YEAR-OLD MAN MUGGED IN
BROAD DAYLIGHT OUTSIDE "THE NEW
YORK TIMES" BUILDING.
A "NEW YORK POST" OP-ED
HEADLINE.
NOW IS THE MOMENT MAYOR ADAMS
AND GOVERNOR HOCHUL MUST SEIZE
TO FACE DOWN PRO-CRIMINALS.
JASON RANTZ, SEATTLE RADIO TALK
SHOW HOST.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS,
JASON, THEY AREN’T JUST
CHILLING NUMBERS.
THEY REPRESENT HUMAN BEINGS AND
THE PERSONAL CRIME OF TAKING
CARS WHILE PEOPLE ARE STILL IN
THEM, TRYING TO GET THIS THEM
AND HAVE PURCHASES IN THEM ARE
GOING UP.
THOSE ARE DANGEROUS CRIMES AND
THAT PERSON CAN GET HURT AS A
VICTIM.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
A RESULT OF POLICIES THAT HAVE
SAID TO CRIMINALS OVER AND OVER
AND OVER AGAIN WE AREN’T REALLY
SERIOUS ABOUT PUNISHING YOU.
WE’RE NOT GOING TO HAVE CASH
BAIL WHEN YOU ARE ARRESTED, IF
YOU ARE ARRESTED AND THE BIG IF
IS BECAUSE WE KEEP DEFUNDING
POLICE DEPARTMENTS OR RUNNING
COPS OUT OF TOWN.
THEN YOU GET IN FRONT OF A
JUDGE WHO BUYS INTO SOME OF THE
WOKE GARBAGE THAT IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR A LOT OF
CRIMINALS BEING RELEASED.
YOU HAVE POLICIES IN PLACE THAT
BASICALLY ARE SAYING UP FRONT
IF YOU DO THIS, WE WILL NOT
CHARGE YOU.
WHAT IN THE WORLD DO THESE
POLITICIANS THINK IS GOING TO
OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THAT?
WHEN YOU TELEGRAPH THAT YOU
AREN’T GOING TO PUNISH, GUESS
WHAT?
BAD GUYS TAKE ADVANTAGE.
>> Harris: I WANT PEOPLE TO
KNOW WHAT THEY’RE WATCHING.
LET’S NOT RUN IT LIKE WALLPAPER.
THAT IS A HUMAN BEING ON THE
FLOOR.
THESE ARE RANDOM ACTS OF
VIOLENCE.
IT IS HEARTBREAKING AND VERY
DANGEROUS.
YOU DON’T KNOW HOW BADLY HURT
THOSE PEOPLE ARE UNTIL POLICE
GET THERE.
SOME OF THEM HAVE NOT SURVIVED.
IN THE CRIME-RIDDEN CHICAGO
AREA, A NEW REPORT SHEDS LIGHT
ON MAYOR LORE EYE LIGHTFOOT’S
SECRET PROTECTION.
SHE HAS A UNIT OF 70 CHICAGO
POLICE OFFICERS PROTECTING HER
IN ADDITION TO HER 20 OFFICER
BODYGUARD DETAIL.
THIS COMES AS THE CHICAGO P.D.
HAS LOST A LARGE NUMBER OF
OFFICERS,.
660 RETIRED IN 2021.
THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO SPEND
ALL THIS MONEY TO GET PEOPLE
BACK BUT IN SOME CASES YOU
CAN’T GET BACK THE EXPERIENCE
YOU LET GO WHEN YOU WERE
DEFUNDING.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
WE ARE LOSING VETERAN OFFICERS.
OFFICERS WHO KNOW WHAT IT IS
LIKE TO DO COMMUNITY POLICING.
AT ONE POINT IT WAS ALLOWED.
SO THEY CREATED ALL OF THESE
RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE
COMMUNITY AND NOW ALL OF A
SUDDEN THEY ARE LEAVING BECAUSE
THEY FEEL LIKE THEY’VE BEEN
BETRAYED BY THE POLITICIANS IN
CHARGE.
>> Harris: THEY HAVE BEEN.
>> THEY HAVE 100% BEEN.
NOW WE ARE LESS SAFE BECAUSE OF
IT.
I HATE TO SEE COPS LEAVE
DEPARTMENTS, BUT I UNDERSTAND
WHY THEY ARE CHOOSING TO DO SO.
SOME OF THEM ARE COMPLETELY
LEAVING POLICING.
SOME ARE GOING INTO MID-SIZE OR
SMALLER CITIES AND KUDOS TO
THEM.
NOW THEY GET TO PROTECT THOSE
COMMUNITIES.
UNFORTUNATELY WE LOSE A LOT OF
COPS EVERY TIME WE SEE GARBAGE
LIKE THIS.
>> Harris: FLORIDA’S REPUBLICAN
GOVERNOR DESANTIS SIGNED A
PARENTAL RIGHTS BILL INTO LAW
AND BANS SEXUAL ORIENTATION --
HE IS PRUD TO STAND UP TO
HOLLYWOOD AND OTHER CRITICS OF
THE LAW.
>> PARENTS HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL
ROLE IN THE EDUCATION,
WELL-BEING AND HEALTHCARE OF
THEIR CHILDREN.
WE WON’T MOVE FROM THAT.
I DON’T CARE WHAT CORPORATE
MEDIA OUTLETS SAY OR WHAT
HOLLYWOOD SAYS.
IF THE PEOPLE WHO HELD UP
DEGENERATES LIKE HARVEY
WEINSTEIN UP AS EXEMPLARS AND
HEROES AND AS ALL THAT, IF
THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF PEOPLE
THAT ARE OPPOSING US ON
PARENTS’ RIGHTS I WEAR THAT
LIKE A BADGE OF HONOR.
>> Harris: THAT BADGE OF HONOR
IS PRETTY SHINY.
ALL THE WAY HERE IN NEW YORK
CITY MAYOR ERIC ADAMS IS
TALKING ABOUT IT AND HE SAID
THE EXTREMIST CULTURE WAR
TARGETING THE LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY IS HATEFUL AND
HARMFUL.
FLORIDA’S DON’T SAY GAY BILL IS
THE LATEST SHAMEFUL MEASURE.
>> IT IS RIDICULOUS.
WHAT WE’VE SEEN WITH REMOTE
LEARNING PARENTS GOT THE WRONG
KIND OF WOKE FOR LIBERALS IN
CHARGE.
NOW THEY FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS
HAPPENING IN THE CLASSROOM AND
THEY WON’T STAND FOR IT.
THE SAME THING PROGRESSIVES
TRIED TO DO WITH CRT.
FIRST THEY SAID IT IS NOT
GETTING TAUGHT AND IT’S ACTUAL
HISTORY.
IT IS A LIE AND WE’RE SEEING
THE EXACT SAME STRATEGY.
BY PUSHING BACK AGAINST A
NON-CONTROVERSIAL BILL THAT
SAYS NO TEACHING OF GENDER
IDENTITY TO KINDERGARTNERS TO
THIRD GRADE IS REASONABLE.
THEY’LL CALL EVERYBODY A BIGOT.
>> Harris: UNDERESTIMATE THE
