Gutfeld: As crime rises Americans don't vote for liberals

i had conversations with my brother i always have conversations with my brother because he's my brother and he's my best friend and obviously he was aware of what was going on wow if that's how you treat your best friend i'd hate to be your dog you know i always welcome those who come around to my way of thinking yep it took a few years but people are starting to embrace replacing milk with vodka when eating captain crunch still tastes good and what was once considered a conspiracy theory involving cat's new mysterious husband is now starting to be accepted as conventional wisdom [Laughter] i mean how do we know they arrested the right guy look at it i think the news speaks for itself it is uncanny but do you know what else is uncanny how the activist media only retreats when their stupid ideas start to cost them politically take crime last year as it decimated our cities the media mocked it democratic cities are in chaos right now is this what you want from joe biden and they're going to take your country away and they're taking down the statues and crime is rising oh my gosh it's so bad and again defunding police it's like yeah indeed but then the light bulb went off in lemon's otherwise empty head maybe rolling your eyes over crime victims isn't a good look i wonder if he now thinks it's a blind spot for democrats i think this is a blind spot for democrats i think democrats are ignoring this problem or hoping that it will go away and it's not going to go away joe biden may be afraid to do it i'm not sure maybe he won't maybe he is he's got to address it the writing has to stop chris as you know and i know it's showing up in the polling it's showing up in focus groups it is the only thing right now that is sticking i'd say that's an about face except they're always talking out of their asses that was a while ago but this is the left the problem is never the crime it's the effect it has politically or as ezra klein puts it how crime hurts the liberal project liberal project i guess it's like the lincoln project except you molest everyone [Laughter] allegedly in a tweet thread he says this violence is spiking homicides were up by 25 to 40 percent in 2020 the largest single year increase since 1960 and 2021 isn't looking any better now remember this is from a new york times liberal which is why klein has to add this is a crisis on its own terms but it's also a crisis for the broader liberal project and he's right all those dead people make defunding the police look really bad but klein knew he couldn't get his side to care unless he suggested that not caring would threaten their political fortunes they only feel your pain to get elected he then adds that violent crime causes families to leave cities businesses to close banks refusing loans as property values drop there are lifelong impacts that traumatize kids so wait is he talking about crime or liberalism now this might be the point where klein sees the value in policing but instead he focuses on political fallout like the atlanta mayor isn't running again after being called soft on crime he points out there's a recall effort in san francisco of district attorney tesa boudin who so far has banned cash bail and released felons from jail both his parents were weather underground domestic terrorists i guess the grenade doesn't fall far from the tree and now klein worries crime's the top concern in nyc behind covid which leads to his key fear if these numbers keep getting worse then as with nixon and reagan in the 70s and 80s it could bring law and order conservatives including trump back to power in 2024. so there you go the reason why you should address crime it's not about the victims it's who returns to power he fears that rising crime could bring back leaders who care about rising crime he's literally afraid of safe streets what else is he afraid of child car seats and toothpaste with fluoride klein realizes that as crime rises citizens don't vote for liberals so either you fight the crime or you get more criminals to vote so what's klein's solution well more liberal policies apparently yeah cities destroyed by left-wingers just need more of them that's like giving dana another picture of her dog but now they see crime victims are less inclined to sympathize with the liberal system that lets this mayhem unfold but instead of empathizing the dems fret about their power they say wow we could lose elections when they should be asking why is the crime happening but they can't because the answer is in the mirror it's the policies they push so the only way they can deplore violence is through its political consequences as opposed to the looting and the rioting that cause billions of damages which is why their idea of eliminating the crime problem is to eliminate the stats just stop arresting shoplifters who cares if it's so out of control walgreens has closed 17 of its stores in san francisco alone who does that hurt not the media or the rich no it's the poor the elderly the minorities in those areas i wonder what the angry white male has to say how does it affect me well i don't go into the city all that much anymore i used to like to do that that's a shame funny thing is i bet the politicians making these decisions don't go into the city that much either oh well i gotta run afternoon tea time in my safe gated community i don't know i think i saw a racist hand signal in there of course i will accept any liberal who wants to fight crime even if it's for the preservation of their own power if they think being tough on crime means they'll win more elections then act on it my issue is they don't when they talk tough they don't act tough later it's like when i told people i'll fight them on the playground after school and then i didn't show up that was last week i'm telling you those eighth graders are getting bigger but the dems say they're going to solve crime and then they continue with policies that led it to spread in the first place happily though not all events are marred by violence national greg gutfeld day which was held saturday in manhattan went off beautifully without without any problems at all let's take a look ladies and gentlemen national greg gutfeld day starts in three two one and what a glorious day it was what began on the streets of new york city quickly spilled through towns across the world a day that meant so much to so many greg is already being credited with boosting global tourism it's the best time of the year i think it's the best time for visitors to come and see our city even former president donald trump celebrated greg in his own way republicans and democrats were seen making out in the streets dogs and cats were seen hugging in a time of great division greg truly brings us all together the outpouring of love to greg and each other led to the most unexpected conclusion we had to stop there for fcc reasons but you see it is possible to unify this country all it takes is one very sexy hero [Applause] let's welcome tonight's guest she's so sharp she can open a clam shell with earthbox the federalist culture editor emily josinski he's so smart rubik's cube struggle to solve him the battle on b chief executive steph dylan those jokes really make you think you should see another comedian comedian joe mackey is back she donated blood and they gave it back fox news contributor cat tim [Applause] go first before i get to the guests i was really surprised that neither of you showed up at national greg gutfeldt day i i had reserved seating and everything yeah uh were you invited i'm a little distraught i'm just i think i need to talk to my husband when i get home after the model where was cats we may not see her again now that the news is out all right so let me go to you seth seth you're uh you helm the incredibly successful babylon b which if you haven't if you don't follow it on twitter or read it you're crazy you should uh you i don't think the babylon b would be as successful as it is if it wasn't for the mentality that drives for example their their their thoughts on crime the democrats thoughts on crime well yeah i mean it's it's so absurd and look at kamala harris was uh raising funds to bail out rioters yes excuse me peaceful protesters right right of course in minnesota i mean it all these instances where you have all this violent crime rising up in the streets they're prodding it and encouraging it and then to see people turn around and and act like oh this this rise in crime is something that's gonna it's gonna help our opponents politically yeah well well then what were you doing this whole time yes you created this problem it's not crime that's hurting leftists it's leftists who are hurting leftists exactly emily we know you're a violent person um well known yes it's well i've sweet we were talking about it before the show questioning whether we should have armed security here you think he's joking what um why can't like it's interesting why can't the political uh consequences and real life consequences align themselves what's wrong with that but it's like but no the dems can only think about it in a political way yeah they think about in a political way and it's just interesting to see somebody like ezra klein slip back into the sort of don draper role and be like listen we can't sell these democrats while there's riots happening when in fact actually they're sort of like your question about the liberal project he has a podcast where he asked do democrats have an answer to violence the answer is obviously no because we've let them try experiment running our cities for decades their answer is always to throw more money and apply more bureaucracy to a situation instead of actually saying maybe we need to shrink things here maybe we need to re-budget maybe we need to do try these different things instead their entire world view has calcified into something that is actually more tolerant of criminal behavior i mean i live in washington dc the tolerance that exists around some tragic populations like the homeless population it's not good for crime rates yeah but they're going to keep doing it yeah you know what's interesting it's like the democrats are therapists for criminals and then ezra klein is the therapist for the democrats to help them get like so how is it going not well they're still committing a lot of crime there's crime all over they go you know have you really thought about doing more of this and it's always the same thing joe joe are you terrified right now that what's going on in the cities i am greg and first off i want to apologize for not being a great gutfield day i celebrate privately it's just it's you have may the fourth cinco de mayo mother's day and great gut feel day all in a row it's a lot i'm still hungover it's a lot you know what it is it's a lot like thanksgiving and christmas when they and then new year's eve where they kind of all pile up and you put on like that 20 pounds and oh man you should see my credit card bill now i'll i'll tell you what greg to to yes and emily's point uh in new york we thrown a billion dollars at thrive nyc to help mental health in the last five years and judging by people on the subway that i'm not looking at that ask me what i'm looking at the city is getting crazier every year it is amazing it is amazing how the mentally ill and this is i'm not laughing at this because i've been talking about this this problem in new york city and the thrive issue the 800 million dollars that that they can they know when you're like it's not safe on the subway they look right at you and then you go oh god here it comes cat you must be just when you see all these drugstores closing uh this has to scare you oh yeah my prescription i gotta go further to get all mine i have a lot of prescription medication [Laughter] you spread them do you spread them out over pharmacies oh doctor shopping yeah so no i don't even know what they're i don't even know what that phrase means i heard about it um yeah look the democrats had a huge opportunity here right because the police reform is something that most americans agree we need uh they could have done that instead they said you know what no more cops done with cops nobody could survive with that kind of logic i had food poisoning a few weeks ago if i was like that's it no more food i didn't do that i continued to occasionally eat after that happened to me um because so it's no shock when something that dumb happens that they're not gonna continue to survive you know how dare you compare food poisoning to police brutality i had i didn't compare it was an analogy but you know what you're a racist bigot oh probably a homophobe oh oh yeah yeah xenophobe yeah yeah you've ticked all the boxes tonight i'm afraid i can't wait to see you cancel tomorrow morning i can't wait to see me be canceled for homophobia because that would be quite hilarious hey sean hannity here hey click here to subscribe to fox news youtube page and catch our hottest interviews and most compelling
