IN MEMPHIS.
THANK YOU.
>> Julie: SO NEW YORK CITY
CRIMINALS NOW TAKING A PAGE
FROM THE FAST AND FURIOUS BOOK.
THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED ON THE
UPPER EAST SIDE OF MANHATTAN IN
BROAD DAYLIGHT.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ZONE.
TEENS RAMMING A CAR AND TRYING
TO STEAL $20,000 FROM THE
DRIVER.
WE DON’T KNOW WHY HE WAS
CARRYING $20,000 ON HIM OR WHY
THEY KNEW HE HAD IT IN THE
FIRST PLACE.
THE NYPD IS REPORTING WEEKLY
SPIKES IN ALMOST EVERY MAJOR
CRIME CATEGORY COMPARED TO LAST
YEAR.
AS OF LATE LAST WEEK THE RATES
OF SERIOUS CRIME WAS UP 36%
INCLUDING AUTO THEFT AND GRAND
LARCENY.
MURDERS AND RAPES NOT AMONG THE
RISE.
THERE WAS A "NEW YORK POST"
OP-ED THAT CON GREAT LATER
MAYOR ERIC ADAMS FOR BRINGING
DOWN MURDERS BUT A LOT MORE
CRIME.
QUALITY OF LIFE REMAINS
HORRIFIC.
THE LACK OF PROACTIVE POLICING
EXCEPT WHEN IT COMES TO GUNS
EXPLAINS HOW DISORDERLY
BEHAVIOR GOES TO THEFT AND
ASSAULT.
CRIME IS AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH IN
THIS COUNTRY.
VICTIMS OF THEFT ARE WONDERING
WHEN THE ADMINISTRATION WILL DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
LAST WEEK’S ADDRESS LEFT THEM
EMPTY-HANDED.
>> IF WE THINK THIS CURRENT
ADMINISTRATION IS GOING TO DO
ANYTHING ABOUT IT THEY WILL
HOLD THEIR BREATH.
THEIR POLICIES FUELED BY THEIR
BASE THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
THIS.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL OF THE
CITIES EMBRACED THE
ABOLITIONIST MINDSET DEFUNDING
COPS, CASHLESS BAIL OR
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE PROGRAMS IN
PLACE OF JAIL TIME FOR
CRIMINALS YOU HAVE SEEN
INCREDIBLY HIGH RATE OF CRIME
OCCURRING ALL OVER THE PLACE
ACROSS ALL OF THESE CATEGORIES.
EVEN IN NEW YORK, LOOK, THIS IS
A LITTLE BIT OF AN ANOMALY.
TO YOUR POINT IT HAPPENED IN
BROAD DAYLIGHT.
THEY WOULD NOT DO THIS IF THEY
DIDN’T THINK THEY COULD GET
AWAY WITH IT.
THAT’S TELLING.
>> Julie: YEAH.
THAT’S REALLY SAD.
I LIKE THAT YOU POINT THAT OUT
BECAUSE THEY DON’T THINK
THEY’LL GET CAUGHT BECAUSE
COPS’ HANDS HAVE BEEN TIED IN
THIS COUNTRY.
THEY ASSUME EVEN IF THEY GET
CAUGHT THEY’LL GET RIGHT OUT.
IT DOESN’T MATTER.
NO RISK IN TRYING TO STEAL.
THE COPS’ HANDS ARE TIED.
THE CRIME CRISIS IN NEW YORK
CITY, SEATTLE, IT’S MOST DEADLY
MONTH IN RECENT HISTORY ON
AUGUST AND ON TRACK TO SET A 25
YEAR RECORD HIGH IN DEADLY
SHOOTINGS.
SEATTLE POLICE SAY THEY HAD 11
HOMICIDES LAST MONTH.
THE CITY AVERAGED THREE
HOMICIDES BETWEEN 2008 AND 2021.
THIS YEAR’S AUGUST SAW A
ROUGHLY 267% INCREASE COMPARED
TO THE PREVIOUS 14-YEAR AVERAGE.
WHEN ARE LAWMAKERS GOING TO SEE
THAT THEY ARE THE PROBLEM?
>> THAT’S A GOOD QUESTION.
LAWMAKERS RIGHT NOW AREN’T
TALKING ABOUT THIS.
WE HAVE HEARD VIRTUALLY NOTHING
COMING FROM THE SEATTLE CITY
COUNCIL WHICH IS DIRECTLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR A LOT OF WHAT
IS HAPPENING IN SEATTLE.
WHEN YOU STEP BACK AND LOOK AT
WASHINGTON STATE WE’VE SEEN THE
SAME KIND OF CRIME SURGE.
AGAIN, YOU CAN POINT THE FINGER
AT SPECIFIC POLICIES THAT
DEMOCRATS PASSED, INCLUDING A
BAN ON ALMOST EVERY SINGLE
VEHICULAR PURSUIT.
GUESS WHAT?
A CRIMINAL WHO CAN DO THEIR
CRIME AND GET INTO A CAR
USUALLY STOLEN AND DRIVE OFF.
SO LONG AS IT’S A NON-VIOLENT
CRIME POLICE CAN’T CHASE THEM.
THEY ARE ADAPTING TO THESE
POLICIES.
>> Julie: CHASING A CAR
SPEEDING DOWN THE ROAD IS
VIOLENCE.
THAT CAR WAS A WEAPON.
THAT IS WHY YOU SHOULD BE
CHASING DOWN CARS TO STOP THEM
AND RAM THEM SO THEY CAN’T
CONTINUE TO POTENTIALLY RUN
OVER PEDESTRIANS AND CAUSE MORE
CARNAGE.
I JUST HAVE TO MOVE ON.
SPEAKING OF CARS TO CALIFORNIA
AND THIS RIDICULOUS ELECTRIC
CAR MANDATE GOING ON OUT THERE
THAT MAY ACTUALLY IMPACT CAR
SALES ACROSS THE NATION.
17 STATES WITH EMISSION
STANDARDS TIED TO THE CLEAN AIR
ACT ARE CONSIDERING FOLLOWING
THE STATE’S LEAD.
THE MANDATE CALLS FOR FOLLOWING
FEDERAL EMISSIONS STANDARDS OR
ABIDING BY CALIFORNIA’S RULES,
OREGON, WASHINGTON,
MASSACHUSETTS, NEW YORK AMONG
THOSE LOOKING AT FALLING IN
LINE.
OKAY.
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAS
BOTCHED THIS SO BADLY.
NOT ONLY ARE THEY TRYING TO
PUSH ELECTRIC CARS DOWN OUR
THROATS, RIGHT, BECAUSE OF
COURSE IT WILL SAVE ON AIR
POLLUTION, GREAT, I GOTCHA.
SPEND $60,000 TO SAVE THE EARTH.
DON’T BAN THOSE PEOPLE FROM
CHARGING THEIR CARS BETWEEN THE
HOURS OF 4:00 AND 9:00 P.M. AND
COME AROUND AND SAY BY 2035
WE’LL BAN GAS-POWERED VEHICLES.
IT MAKES ZERO SENSE.
>> IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE
AND I’M GLAD OF THE TIMING OF
THIS.
IT HIGHLIGHTS HOW WE’RE NOT
READY FOR THIS WORLD THAT
DEMOCRATS ARE PUSHING US DOWN.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH ELECTRIC
VEHICLES.
IN FACT, IF PEOPLE WANT TO
PURCHASE THEM, MORE POWER TO
THEM.
I THINK IT CUTS DOWN ON
POLLUTION AND OUR RELIANCE ON
OIL.
THE PROBLEM IS, WE DO NOT HAVE
THE INFRASTRUCTURE NOR THE
ENERGY POLICY TO HANDLE THAT
KIND OF SHIFT.
SO WE’RE TALKING JUST ABOUT
CALIFORNIA.
CLEARLY WON’T BE READY BY 2035.
LET’S SAY YOU GO FROM
BAKERSFIELD TO LOS ANGELES
BECAUSE YOU HAVE A DOCTOR’S
APPOINTMENT.
IF YOU FORGET TO PLUG IN THAT
VEHICLE GUESS WHAT?
YOU WILL GET STUCK ON THE DRIVE
OVER AND YOU WILL BE WITHOUT
ANY KIND OF SOLUTION.
SO THIS IDEA WE’RE SUDDENLY
GOING TO DO THIS ACROSS MANY
STATES JUST IN A SHORT AMOUNT
OF TIME WHEN WE DON’T HAVE NOT
JUST THE INFRASTRUCTURE BUT
ENERGY POLICY TO INSURE THAT
THE CARS ARE ABLE TO BE PLUGGED
IN TO BEGIN WITH.
IT IS JUST SO ABSURD.
IT IS PUTTING THE CART BEFORE
THE HORSE.
I THINK WE NEED TO ROLL THIS
BACK.
AGAIN, SMART POLICY DOES
ENCOURAGE THIS KIND OF
TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES WE’VE
SEEN IN CARS.
LET’S SAY WE GO TO 2035 DOING
THIS.
PEOPLE MIGHT NOT HAVE A MONEY
TO SPEND AND END UP PURCHASING
USED CARS WHICH ARE GAS
GUZZLERS WHICH DON’T HAVE THE
NEWEST TECHNOLOGY.
YOU AREN’T GOING TO DO ANYTHING
DIFFERENT HERE. >> Julie: ELECTRIC CARS ARE NOT
