>> Jesse: AT LIBERAL CNN
MOCKING AMERICA AS A MASSIVE
CRIME WAVE AND CLAIMING THIS
SURGE IN VIOLENCE IS TOTALLY
BEING OVERBLOWN.
>> YOU GET THE SENSE THAT
AMERICA HAS GONE TO, AND A
DECLINING QUALITY OF LIFE.
IT’S NOT ON APOCALYPSE HEALTH
PROBLEM.
I KIND OF THINK OF IT AS AN
INSTAGRAM FILTER.
START WITH A REAL IMAGE AND YOU
TAKE THE FILTER AND PUMP IT UP A
THOUSAND PERCENT AND WHAT YOU
ARE LEFT WITH IS DISTORTED AND
IT NO LONGER AFFECTS OUR
REALITY.
>> THE GOAL OF THIS KIND OF
COVERAGE IS TO FREAK PEOPLE OUT
AND CAUSE THEM TO LIVE IN FEAR.
>> Jesse: WE MIGHT BE THE ONLY
ONES TO FIND THAT FUNNY BECAUSE
81% OF VOTERS ARE EXTREMELY OR
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HIGHER
CRIMES IN THE LATEST FOX NEWS
POLL.
CARJACKINGS ARE SOARING BY OVER
500% IN MAJOR CITIES WHILE 16
CITIES HIT RECORD HOMICIDES IN
2021.
IN BALTIMORE HOMICIDES ARE NOW
THE LEADING CAUSE FOR UNEXPECTED
CHILDHOOD DEATHS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE STRATEGY
WAS BEHIND THAT SEGMENT?
>> Greg: I DON’T KNOW.
IT’S GOT TO BE GROSS TO WORK AT
CNN WHERE ALL YOU DO IS PUSH
THESE ELABORATE HOAXES WHILE
DENYING ACTUAL HUMAN SUFFERING.
RIGHT?
THEY SPENT YEARS PUSHING THIS
LABYRINTH OF TRYING TO SCARE
PEOPLE THAT THE REPUBLIC IS IN
DANGER AND YET THEY LITERALLY
LAUGH ABOUT CRIME.
PEOPLE ASK ME WHY DO I
CONSTANTLY POINT OUT HOW FAT
BRIAN STELTER IS, HOW FAT AND
BALD AND HOMELY HE IS AND I
ALWAYS TELL YOU THAT NO INSULT
IS WORSE THAN THEIR IDEAS, AS
LONG AS THEY MOCKED THE BLACK ON
BLACK CRIME AND DEATH IN THE
STREETS AND THERE IS TAPE OF DON
LEMAN AND CHRIS CUOMO LAUGHING
ABOUT IT.
AS LONG AS THEY BELIEVE THAT I
GOT A PASS ON IT, THEN
EVERYTHING IS ON THE TABLE.
YOU CAN MAKE FUN OF THEM ABOUT
ANYTHING.
SO THEY CHOSE THIS TO DIE ON
WHILE COPS AND CIVILIANS ARE
LITERALLY DYING. AND WE CAN BE AROUND THESE
AND WE CAN BE AROUND THESE
PEOPLE, AND THE RATINGS ARE
DYING ON THE NARRATIVE IS
ANTITHETICAL TO WHAT AMERICANS
BELIEVE.
THIS IS A CURATED PROPAGANDA
MACHINE TO PUT OUT SEGMENTS TO
OTHER AREAS, WHETHER AT
SOCIAL MEDIA TO BE RETWEETED,
THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY
ANTI-AMERICAN VIEWS.
THIS IS NOT A NETWORK.
I DON’T KNOW HOW THEY GET
ADVERTISERS AT THIS POINT, IT’S
SO EMBARRASSING.
THEY HAVE PRODUCERS THAT ARE
BEING ALLEGED MIKE ACCUSED OF
ALLEGED.
IT’S A DISTRACTION BECAUSE THEY
ARE IN SUCH SORRY SHAPE.
>> Jesse: AND SO THEY DON’T
HAVE ANYTHING TO TALK ABOUT, ARE
THEY TRYING TO PUT STUFF OUT
THERE FOR CONTROVERSY DO YOU
THINK?
>> Dana: IT’S WEIRD TO PROGRAM
A SEGMENT JUST TO GET BACK AT
"THE FIVE."
I MEAN THAT IS A STRANGE WAY TO
PROGRAM.
I WOULD SAY, THE ONE THING ABOUT
IT IS MATCHING THE MOOD.
I HAVE DONE THE MORNING SHOW
FROM NINE UNTIL 11:00 A.M., AND
THEY ARE STARTING TO LEAD WITH
THE STORY OF THE DAY.
AND THAT’S CRIME.
IT’S BEING ASKED ABOUT AT THE
WHITE HOUSE AND NOT JUST BY
FOX NEWS BUT THE ONE THING THAT
I FEEL THE WHITE HOUSE DOES THAT
THE PRESIDENT IS NOT DOING, YOU
NEED TO MATCH THE MOMENT AND THE
MOOD OF THE COUNTRY AND IF YOU
ARE NOT, YOU ARE GOING TO GET
POLLS THAT SHOW ONLY THE THIRD.
THE OTHER THING IS IF YOU LOOK AT AT CNN OWN POLLING ON AND
AT AT CNN OWN POLLING ON AND
MAKEIMMIGRATION AND CRIME, THEY
BE SHOULD BREAK DOWN THAT WALL
BECAUSE THEIR OWN POLLING IS
SHOWING THAT IT’S A PROBLEM.
AS BEFORE AND I’M ASSUMING THESE
GUYS WORK OUT OF NEW YORK CITY,
DO THEY SEE THE LOCAL NEWS AND
DO THEY READ THE POST OF THE
DAILY NEWS, ARE THEY ABSORBING
ANY OF THE ACTUAL CRIME THAT’S
HAPPENING IN THEIR OWN
NEIGHBORHOODS, DO YOU THINK?
I’M LOOKING AT YOU.
>> Harold: DENIAL DOES NOT
WEAR WELL AND AS I LISTEN TO
THEM, I COULD UNDERSTAND IF YOU
ARE TRYING TO MAKE A POINT THAT
SOME NUMBERS ARE DOWN AND SOME
NUMBERS ARE UP OR TRYING TO
EXPLAIN THAT THIS IS THE WAY
IT’S BEING PRESENTED OR
INTERPRETED WRONG, BUT THEY
DIDN’T DO THAT.
THEY DIDN’T SAY CRIME IS DOWN
HERE WERE PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT
THIS THE WRONG WAY.
IT STRIKES ME AS A GROUP OF
PEOPLE AND THIS IS NOT MEANT TO
MALIGN CNN AS MUCH AS THOSE WHO
LITERALLY TRY TO PRESENT THE
CRIME AS NOT A BAD THING.
BUT WHERE DO YOU LIVE?
DO YOUR POINT, ARE YOU IN A
NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE YOU CAN’T GO
OUT?
IF YOU LIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD
WHICH IS MOST NEIGHBORHOODS IN
NEW YORK CITY TODAY, YOU ARE
WATCHING WHERE YOU ARE GOING.
I DON’T TAKE THE SUBWAY ANY
LONGER, BECAUSE I’M CONCERNED
ABOUT MY SAFETY.
I WON’T GO NEAR A SUBWAY STOP
WITH MY KIDS BECAUSE I DON’T
WANT TO BE CONFRONTED OR TRY TO
DEFEND OR DO SOMETHING THAT
WOULD PUT THEM IN DANGER OR
MYSELF IN DANGER.
SO THOSE WHO WANT TO DO THIS IN
STAGES LIKE THAT OR DO
PRESENTATIONS LIKE THAT, I HAVE
A REASON FOR DOING IT. IF YOUR REASON IS TO GET BACK AT
IF YOUR REASON IS TO GET BACK AT
SOMEONE OR SHOW OR NETWORK, AND
MANY OF THEM WHO ARE PROBABLY
WATCHING THAT NETWORK.
>> Jesse: AND SOME GULLIBLE
PERSON IS WATCHING CNN, AND THEY
DO HAVE TO DO A PUBLIC SERVICE.
>> Harold:>> Jeanine: HERE’S THE
THE MEDIA IS THE MEGAPHONE FOR
THE DEMOCRATS.
EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW 81% OF THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC IS CONCERNED
ABOUT CRIME, THEY WANT TO TELL
YOU THAT IT IS NOT A PROBLEM.
AND SO IT IS SPIN, CLEARLY AT
SPIN.
BUT THEIR NAIVETE, UNLESS THEY
ARE LYING HYPOCRITES, THEN YOU
PICK WHATEVER YOU WANT.
IT’S REALLY THE FACT THAT YOU
HAVE FIVE COPS WHO HAVE ALREADY
BEEN SHOT IN NEW YORK CITY AND
WERE STILL IN JANUARY OF THIS
YEAR.
YOU GOT KIDS, AN 11-MONTH-OLD
GIRL WHO GOT SHOT IN THE FACE.
KIDS GO TO SLEEP IN THEIR OWN
BEDS THESE DAYS AND IN THEIR OWN
HOMES AND IN THEIR OWN BEDROOMS
AND THEY END UP GETTING SHOT IN
THEIR OWN BEDS.
IF THESE PEOPLE CAN’T SAY WHAT
IS GOING ON IN THE INNER CITY,
AND WOMEN ARE BEING OPENLY AND
ALL OF THAT HORRIFIC STUFF IS
GOING ON, THEY ARE JUST STUPID.
IT’S JUST STUPID.
>> Harold: IT’S ELITIST, IS
WHAT IT IS.
>> Jesse: I REMEMBER STELTER
WAS MAD ONCE WHEN THEY REMOVED A
TRASH CAN OUTSIDE HIS APARTMENT,
THEY REMEMBER THAT?
THE CRIME FOR HIM AS THERE
