here now is charlie hurt washington
times opinion editor he is also a fox
business contributor
and retired nypd detective current vice
president of security at the brooklyn
navy yard dr
oscar odom good to see you both dr odom
first to you
law enforcement all over the country
whether it's at the border or inner
cities is
under attack is it too much to say that
comments like that from the progressive
squad members
uh is leading to loss of lives not only
among innocent citizens but among law
enforcement officers
absolutely and apparently they don't
read the data of what is actually taking
place there
you know people are dying across the
country they don't understand what
security means
and you know it goes back to the movie a
few good men you know you sleep under
the blanket of the very freedom that i
provide then you have the nerve the
question of the matter which i provided
and that's what they're doing they don't
realize what's going on they
they talk the talk but they don't walk
the walk so they need to come out there
come from behind your desk
get rid of your security take a look see
what's going on at the border and then
you go out there and then you try to
stop then you try to protect
and then let's see what happens after
that they talk
but they can't walk the walk charlie uh
while it's the progressives that are
pushing for elimination of law
enforcement
uh the biden they're getting a big help
from the bind administration they are
the bite administration is a state of
denial
that is giving this vacuum for the
progressives to move in
with their radical solutions if you want
to call it that
uh they're in denial about the border
there's no crisis the borders are closed
according to them when clearly they're
open
and they're in denial about crime in the
streets we just had president biden
meeting
for three minutes three sold
minutes in with the mayor of chicago
on the tarmac then he went to give a
speech in illinois didn't have anything
to say about crime
in that speech if there's one word to
describe this crisis
it's denial denial by the biot
administration yeah
yeah at the very least it's a denial but
it might be even
even worse because uh not only are they
in denial
they are 100 percent responsible for
every bit of this it's a complete
self-inflicted wound
it's a problem that didn't need to exist
the uh you know obviously president
trump didn't solve the larger problem of
illegal
immigration in this country but he did
solve the acute problem
the immediate problem of illegal
immigration in this country and he
solved it very nicely by using
uh you know working with countries in
south and central america
to stem the the immediate flow and
the bite administration undid all of
that whether that was an oversight
or whether that was part of a larger
plan i don't know
i try not to assign the most nefarious
um
motives to political enemies but but i
you
i don't know of another way of looking
at it and and i think
detective odom did a great job of
explaining uh just how dangerous all of
this rhetoric really is
but there's a larger thing here too you
know
the politics of it just doesn't make
sense because not only is this an
outrage to
to regular americans and conservatives
and law-abiding people like us
but i don't even think regular
rank-and-file democrats
support this nonsense right right well
and and we're going to see what happens
at the polls not only in 2012 and the
midterms but we have other polls like
the mayor's race that's coming up in new
york
uh we talked about that dr odom before i
local while local governments really are
key to controlling violence on the
street getting good mayors getting good
city councils
getting good district attorneys it would
help would it not if
right at the top if the president of the
united states came out
more forcefully in support of law
enforcement i haven't heard that have
you
right and and i agree that it should be
uh more support of it i mean
it was nice that he said do not defund
which he took a lot of flack from
from all the other members and even
clyde clyburn said you know
stop that the fun nonsense that you're
talking about we need to refund
the police officers so i think that's a
great thing well
it was but again it didn't come from the
top charlie let me bring it back to
local for a second and i talked to dr
odom about this the other night but eric
adams
uh getting the democratic nod after all
this craziness because of our crazy new
election laws in new york he's a
he's a black cons he's not a
conservative but he's not a
he's not a crazy liberal either he's a
former cop right who
still packs a gun and and plans to keep
packing a gun
to save not only himself if there's an
emergency but people around him
uh but you still have the problem of the
district attorneys
funded in large part uh or at least
their campaigns
whether it's la san francisco new york
st louis all over the country by george
soros and some of his other
very liberal billionaires what do you do
about that that's an important part of
the equation
oh it's a really important part of the
equation and and i
and i can't you know you have to attach
it at least to some degree to democrats
because
these are all democrats that are that
are running on behalf of george soros
these are democratic policies and as you
point out
joe biden has done absolutely nothing to
corral his crazy
the crazy sort of tangents in his party
to reign them in
um and and because of that they've very
much taken over
and when and new york is a perfect
example you have the skyrocketing
murder rate around the country and in
new york and you have a guy like
uh uh adams coming in who is
as you point out is not a conservative
but he is a cop he understands law and
order
and he wants to fight for that stuff and
it really does reveal
i think it reveals that even among uh in
a very heavily democratic place like new
york city
those voters they don't have patience
for all this nonsense they want law
enforcement nobody does nobody should
have patience i mean it is one of those
you open the window and say i'm madison
i'm not going to take it anymore and dr
odom
we have to run but three minutes on the
tarmac that's all the time the president
had to talk to the mayor of chicago
about
a crime situation that she says she
claims is getting better but
clearly judging from the last weekend
it's not
oh definitely not the numbers don't lie
once again when you look at the
shootings
you look at the murder rate the homicide
rate that is taking place there and it
shows you that it's totally disaster
that's why it's so important as my
colleague just stated in new york
public safety was the number one issue
and that's one of the reasons why the
voters
voted for eric adams so that he could
deal with this because of the fact he
was used to this and he was a police
officer for 22 years
and he did this so he don't have he
doesn't need a playbook or anything like
that he knows how to do it i think so
and and and it is good news and we want
we love to report good news it's not all
dark news here
uh there's some very good news on
horizon charlie oscar thank you both for
coming in really appreciate it
see you soon
