World Health organization in California, Gavin Newsom, they want you to put your mask back on apparently indefinitely, but first tonight from american cities are in crisis. Look at the statistics. They are everywhere rate, robbery, assault, murder, skyrocketing and important. The murder rate one hundred percent Minneapolis up by a whopping, fifty six percent, Philadelphia, Washington, D, DOT C, LOS Angeles, New York Chicago also now suffering through major spikes and violent crime. No, what do all the cities have in common one? They have all been run and have been for many years by far left Democrats number two: the same Democrats that vilified law, Enforcementpolice budgets, defunding the police and failing to defund, dismantle as well and acting soft on crime policies like no bail reform, refusing to prosecute people that we have video of rioting and looting involved in arson
and other violent criminals. During the summer of two thousand and twenty, they bent a need to angry mob and divide the reality playing out before the entire country. Minneapolis city leaders allowed police precinct to be burned to the ground. Seattle entire city blocks were ceded to rioters and criminals for weeks. Downtown Portland was lit on fire almost every night for months and all across the country, the police were assaulted, a bricks and frozen water bottles and rocks and molotov cocktails. Several other cities experienced arson looting on a massive scale. Looking at your screen, Santa Monica California widespread, looting and broad daylight in Chicago New York, LOS Angeles, dozens and dozens of storefronts smashed and looted times square over the weekend, a marine was hit with a stray bullet in Oakland or the City Council,
where they voted to defund the police. A gunman tried to rob a camera crew during an interview with the Citys Crime Prevention Chief at City Hall, here in pretty brazen a few weeks earlier in San Francisco in other crew, was robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight. Take a look at the car came up here. While we were about to do an interview in three guys jumped out one had a gun and put it to my face and said we are taking the camera and do my camera. The whole encounter with a block in his face took less than a minute. My whole thought at the moment lets become and not get this guy excited appeared, hes got the gun, I dont you take the camera, it is yours, but he the violence, is out of control and happening in many cities all across the country, instead of cracking down on crime and restoring law and order so that we can be safe, secure and pursue happiness, the police budgets are being slashed,
officers are being restricted, they are told to stand back and stand down. Many criminals who loot riot and steel are not getting arrested. Most of those locked up that quickly let out of jail and all charges, even with videotaped evidence is dropped. For example, one hundred and eighteen individuals arrested in New York City during last years, looting spree come almost every single case was just dismissed, tons of evidence. Now, after a year of chaos and violence and mayhem, no one in America supports this insane, defund the police movement and only eighteen percent. According to a recent poll, meanwhile, a brand New Harvard Harris Poll shows an overwhelming majority. Nearly seventy percent of Americans have, in fact a favorable view of police. According to a pew poll, minorities, including african Americans, are worried about crime and cuts to police funding. Obviously, these are not good
numbers for the Democrats that have sat idly by and silent and spent the last year themselves vilifying the police, defunding and dismantling about tonight. The Biden administration have a new plan. They tell us, unfortunately, that plan has nothing to do with making your city safer. Instead, the geniuses and the new administration are accusing Republicans. They are saying they are the ones that want to defund the police. Okay, not making this up, and we have the videotape to prove it. Take a look. Look republicans are very good of staying on talking points who say: defund the police, but the truth is they defunded the police. We funded crime, intervention and a whole bunch of other things. Part of this announcement is also ensuring the specific guidance to communities across the country to ensure they have funding to get more community police around the country, something supported by the american jobs plan that was
voted by Democrats. Just a couple of months ago, I might say the other party was for defunding the police. I will let others say that that is what you call an outright lie. You can even call it a conspiracy theory if they actually believe that crap and where are the so called fact checkers fake news, CNN or Politifact. Maybe they want to weigh in on this one. This might be the most blatant site in modern american politics, but you dont have to take my word for it, because we actually have proof it is called videotape. Thank God for videotape. Take a look. Yes, I support the defund, the movement, because this is about the investment in our communities which have been extort. Glee devasting, end historically defected end, and we truly are talking
about the reduction of our MIT budget and defunding. Sixty dollars billion Nypd budget. Not only do we need to defund, but we need to dismantle and start new allows us to reimagine what public safety should look like in our community. You know many cities in America. One third of the city budget goes to the police, so we have to have this conversation. What are we doing remember last year of the Democrats, they wouldnt call riots riots. The same Democrats never mentioned it at the Dnc. All that had gone on last summer, Kamala Harris herself even promoted that bail fund to get violent criminals out of jail during the Dnc. No mention of last summers: violent riots, even Joe Biden himself, said the police have become the enemy he agreed. The cities should absolutely redirect funds away from law enforcement. They are now blaming Republicans
for this, but we have more videotape to prove they are wrong and outright lying. Take a look, surplus, military improvement for law enforcement. They dont need that. The last thing you need is a humvee coming in with like the military impeding they dont, know anybody and become the enemy they were supposed to be protecting these people. My generic point is that pico can we agree to redirect some of the funding? Yes, absolutely at least he didnt say come on man come. Are you a junkie? This new deal Democratic Party demanded that the police be defunded. They did it democratic leaders in the House and the Senate, Joe Biden Kamala Harris. They all agree. Your local democrats on the city state level, then billions of dollars out of police budgets, New York, LOS Angeles and minneapolis- that is just a start. They reduced the size of the police force. They let violent criminals out of jail.
They stopped prosecuting a multitude of very serious crimes, including violent crimes and predictably violent crime. Is sky rocketing Democrats want to blame Republicans. Okay, my memory might be short, but not that short. The Democratic Party thanks Lee the american people, must be gullible and stupid. At the same time, this is the guy that they put in the White House. Take a look, thank goodness for videotape. Please, please sit down. I once said that to a big crowd of the evening. I said please sit down and there were no seeds. They were on the football field. The press pointed out. Biden is losing it. I can see you all have seats. Despite partisan, it was a great deal for the american people, not just for folks in cities, red states, blue states, but for everybody, this job, this job, the jobs are going to be crazy or
largely. We know the blue collar workers, this job, this job, the job. Okay, we have shown you tape from Joe Biden in two thousand and twelve two thousand, and sixteen does that seem like the same guy to you. Do you trust Joe Biden with safety and security? Do you think you will come up with a plan to reduce violent crime in America? I dont think so we will let you decide. He barely knows what day of the week it is his radical new Greendale Socialist based. They seem to be.
