♪ BRIAN: GOT A MOB OF VANDALS PORTLAND THE TARGETING POLICE ASSOCIATION. BURNING DEBRIS LEAVING ANTI-COP GRAFFITI OUT OF HEADQUARTERS ON SATURDAY. 40 COPS OPEN UP WHY THEY ARE LEAVING THE LARGEST POLICE FORCE IN DROVES, WHICH MEANS GREAT NUMBERS. ONE RETIRING AT THE TIME TIFF SAYS THE SHOWS SEAR SUPPORT THE MAYOR IGNORE ACTUAL FACTS ON CRIME AND POLICING IN' FAVOR OF RADICAL LEFTIST AND ANARCHISTS FANTASY. WE HAVE BEEN CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG NIC LING IT. ONE OF THE NEXT GUESTS ONE OF 100 LEFT THE BUREAU SINCE JULY ONE OF THE BIGGEST WAVE OF DEPART TERES. HERE TO REACT FOX NEWS ANALYST LAWRENCE JONES. LAWRENCE, CAN YOU PLAIN THEM? >> CHUCK, THE POLICE CHIEF, IS DOING THE BEST THAT HE CAN TO KEEP MORALE UP. WHEN YOU HAVE NO SUPPORT FROM, YOU KNOW, THE LEADERSHIP IN THE CITY, WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO? I THINK THE COMMUNITY DOES SUPPORT, I MEAN, WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL THE POLLING, THE COMMUNITY SAYS THEY WANT GOOD LAW ENFORCEMENT. THEY WANT THE BAD APPLES GONE, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE THIS MOVEMENT THAT IS GETTING THE MAJORITY OF THE ATTENTION, IT BECOMES A BIG PROBLEM. YOU KNOW, SO OFTEN WHEN WE COVER THESE STORIES, AND I HAVE BEEN TO PORTLAND, I CAN'T GO RECENTLY BECAUSE FOX SECURITY SAYS IT'S NOT SAFE FOR ME TO GO. THEY KNOW WHO I AM AT THIS POINT. YOU KNOW, WE LOOK AT THESE STORIES, WE NORMALLY SIMMER IN ON ONE CITY. BUT THIS IS HAPPENING ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. YOU HAVE GOT SEATTLE, YOU HAVE GOT FILLY. YOU HAVE GOT CHICAGO, SIX PEOPLE DEAD OVER THE WEEKEND. YOU KNOW, 26, I THINK IT WAS OVER 20 THAT WAS SHOT. IT IS AN EPIDEMIC IN THESE LIBERAL CITIES AND WHEN YOU TALK TO THEM, THEY SAY OH, IT'S JUST BECAUSE THE PANDEMIC. NO, I HAVE BEEN REPORTING ON THESE CITIES FOR TWO YEARS AND THERE HAS BEEN A LACK OF LEADERSHIP THERE. SO, WHAT DO YOU DO, BRIAN? THE ONLY THING I COULD COME UP WITH IS OFFERING AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE PEOPLE, REPUBLICANS GETTING INVOLVED BECAUSE IF THIS IS THE WAY, I CAN'T SEE THESE PEOPLE GETTING REELECTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THEY NEED AN ALTERNATIVE, THE PEOPLE DO. BRIAN: RIGHT. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS NOT DONE A GOOD JOB PUTTING UP CANDIDATES. THEY THROW UP THEIR HANS. LAST CANDIDATE RUNNING AGAINST TODD WHEELER IS FROM ANTIFA. SHE HAS AN ANTIFA BACKGROUND. SO WHEELER WINS AND REALIZES IN ORDER TO -- HE IS GOING TO SHOW AN UNDERSTANDING WITH A LOT OF THESE RIOTERS AND THEY END UP BLOWING UP IN HIS FACE. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE POLICE OFFICERS, THEY ARE BEING TOLD ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT THEY ARE THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE GOING TO CHANGE POLICING, REIMAGINING IT WHILE EMPTYING THE PRISONS AND GETTING RID OF QUALIFIED IMMUNITY SO THEY CAN GET SUED ON TOP OF THAT. THAT'S IN NEW YORK. BUT PICKS UP WHERE NEW YORK DOES. >> WHEN THEY DECIDED TO REIMAGINE IT, THEN CRIME IS GOING OUT OF CONTROL. SHOOTINGS HAPPENED, PEOPLE BEING STABBED. CAN'T GO ON A SUBWAY ANYMORE, LOOK, BRIAN, NO ONE HAS BEEN MORE OUTSPOKEN AGAINST WHEN JUSTICE NEEDS TO HAPPEN. WHEN PEOPLE'S CIVIL LIBERTIES ARE VIOLATED. AND, UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE, I'M CONSISTENT ON THE ISSUE. I OPPOSE THE STATE WHEN THEY ABUSE YOUR POWER. WHETHER IT'S LAW ENFORCEMENT OR OVERREGULATION IN COMMUNITIES. BUT, IT COMES TO A POINT WHERE GOVERNMENT'S FIRST ROLE IS TO PROTECT ITS PEOPLE AND RIGHT NOW THE COMMUNITIES AREN'T SAFE AND SO SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE, AN ALTERNATIVE HAS TO BE PRESENTED TO THE PEOPLE. NO ONE WANTS TO NOT BE ABLE TO WALK THE STREET OR THEIR KIDS TO BE ABLE TO WALK THE SCHOOL. IT'S HAPPENING IN THIS CITY AND SEATTLE. TRACK IT NOW, IT'S NOT JUST, YOU KNOW, ARE A VIOLENCE ISSUE. IT'S A DRUG EPIDEMIC THAT ARE IN THESE COMMUNITIES, HOMELESSNESS CRISIS. IT ALL OVERLAPS. IT'S ONE BIG CLUSTER YOU KNOW WHAT. BRIAN: YES, WE DO. AND THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE LEAVING THE CAPITOL POLICE FORCE, THE NEW YORK POLICE FORCE. THE PORTLAND POLICE FORCE AND I REMEMBER TWO YEARS AGO PHILADELPHIA CAME HERE SAYING THEY ARE LOOKING RECRUIT FROM NEW YORK TO GET PEOPLE TO GO TO PHILADELPHIA. THAT IS BEFORE WHAT'S HAPPENED WITH THE PANDEMIC.
