This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Brian Minneapolis Committee,
Brian Minneapolis Committee,
approved funding to bring in
outside police officers amid a
spike in violent crime and a
shortage of officers.
The citys police chief says the
assistance is not optional. At
this point
I have seventy four people who are no
longer alive in this city
because they have been killed.
I have got almost five hundred people who
have been shot and wounded in
this city.
We can talk about reimagining,
policing,
im talking about what is
necessary today in this city, and
we need extra resources.
Brian, you hear his frustration,
the birthplace of defund, the
police,
the move comes months after the
majority of the Minneapolis City
Council, Plekd to defund the
police after the death of George
Floyd,
here to weigh in Minnesota
Native Fox AMP friends, weekend
CO host PETE Hegseth
PETE. We could have predicted
this, I feel so bad. The officers
have to go through this
utterly embarrassing and
predict being
one brain cell to know. If you
remove police, you will create
space for crime
b. If you demoralize police, by
telling them they are the bad
guys, create an environment. Why
in the world take one risk?
I recently spoke to a most
police officer. If you are able
to get out guys are getting
out
if you are out on your shift.
Dont take any aggressive
action.
No way you sit in your parole
car and wait to get called
when you go, you go there and be
as cautious as possible.
Thats, not a recipe of getting
in front of crime.
The mayor there should be
utterly embarrassed. The left
should be ashamed for this.
This is exactly what we know
happenings when you throw police
under the bulls,
they are saying: hey. We are out
Brian look at some of these
stats arson up. Seventy six percent assaults.
Twenty four percent
murders up. Eighty seven percent
robberies up thirty: seven percent,
its a desperate cry for help in
New York.
They have had two thousand four hundred retirees
thats up twenty five percent year to year.
They cant get enough people to
be cops. Now
they are looking to save money,
while people are bobbing and
weaving to avoid the bullets.
Meanwhile, it is eleven slash eleven
its veterans day for people
like you, although you are still
active.
What special do you have on Fox
nation
PETE, a bunch of them Brian?
It is veterans day
we celebrate the real one
percent in our society, so
grateful for all the people out
there who watch, who are military
families who have given so much.
There is great content on Fox
nation right now.
One that I am excited about, in
particular, is called the battle
of Hamburger Hill,
one of our producers John CASE,
put it together and went down
and talked to the unit. There did
an amazing story of a unit I
served with in Iraq
fifty years ago. In Vietnam, they had
a vicious battle at Hamburger
Hill.
Many of the men to include you
will meet private James, green
and specialist James Baylor.
They never told anybody about
their service in the police
department where they served
and they never got the medals,
the purple, hearts and bronze
stars that they were given until
a year ago when they were
awarded to them.
You will meet these men. How that
battle affected their lives,
learn about that battle at
hamburger, hill very
controversial, ten day battle, lots
of controversies.
They go back to that hill, three hundred and ninety seven in
Vietnam, as old men, to see it
medals awarded to private green
who had never gotten them
before.
If you want a perfect film to
view on veterans Day Battle of
Hamburger Hill on Fox nation,
of course, if you do it now, five dollars
goes to the independence fund as
well and shameless plug. You get
a copy of my new book. Modern
warriors real heroes, real
stories also as well

James Baylor on getting to
Vietnam.
I got to go to Vietnam when I
was twenty five,
when I was getting off the
plane, the guys that had
finished their tour of duty,
they were getting back on that
same plane that brought us over.
I remember clearly them saying
there is one
there is one.
There is one
im thinking. What are they
talking about?
I found out later what they were
saying were. These were guys that
were not going to make it,
and you knew that this might be
it. For me,
this might be the rest of my
end of my life.
