for america plan. when it comes to public safety in this nation, the answer is not defund the police, it s fund the police. brian: that s like three years too late but it s about time. since taking office, crime biden s america has gotten completely out of control. think about it, shooting, murders, robberies all spiking in cities across this country. in fact, since january of 2021, crime in new york, where we are, has gone up 36%. i m safe in the studio, i think. in chicago, it s gone up 37%. that s what happens when you create a system that vilifies cops. emboldens criminals and that s exactly what the left has done in many cases president biden ignored all of that today. the way he sees it. criminals aren t the problem drum roll, please. my plan also takes common sense action to reduce gun violence. we are not stopping here! i m determined to ban assault weapons in this country! time to hold every elected elected officials are you for banning assault weapons? no.
time to hold every elected elected officials are you for banning assault weapons? no. the answer is no vote against them. brian: blame the gun. the vote will be no for most people. despite getting a bipartisan gun deal. biden is still desperately trying to take them away. that s not the only thing he is blaming the crime surge on, another drum roll, please: as part of the american rescue plan, i signed into law last year, which they voted for, we set aside 350 billion, with a b, billion dollars for state and local governments all across america. every single republican member of congress, every single one in this state, every single one voted against the support for law enforcement. they talk about how much they love it they voted against the funding. brian: yes, got to blame republicans. he put block funding to states
cities and in the white house and the reason so many people don t want to be a cop is they don t believe anybody in this administration has their back. and if you want to talk about political violence, i reject it. i reject it on january 6th. i reject it in portland. i reject it in new york city. so, why don t you talk president biden to your own vice president. you know, one way to encourage political violence is to bail out people who attack the cops on the streets of new york and black lives matter riots. the vice president of the united states staff raised money to bail people out of jail who righted in new york, a tacked the cops, and they went right back to crime. you don t hear much about that, do you? brian: no, you don t. senator, he did bring you up, not specifically, but he brought up a comment you made on sunday. let s listen. the idea you turn on a television and see senior senators and congressman saying if such and such happens, there will be blood in the street.
design an underground railroad that incorporated an open sewage canal in a 4-foot hole in the fence combining cooperation between the 82nd airborne and these shepherds that were working on their cell phones to make this connection. he put all of this together in less than six hours and it was how we moved several hundred people through. he did that without the help of anyone, really from the government other than those young paratroopers on the gate. brian: when did you realize you were their only hope you along with other allied veteran groups. i think for me it was when my friend nasa sam on the 15th basically said to me sir, everybody is gone. president is gone. the generals are gone. i m not afraid to die. i just don t want to die alone. for me that young man who i have known since 2010, everything about the war hinged on whether he lived or died. talking to all the veterans i interviewed after this happened, they all said the same thing. it really came down to friendship, to l
that was i know it s not an easy job. sarah huckabee sanders republican gubernatorial candidate now and looks to be a shoo-in for the next governor. sarah, great to see you. your take on what we have seen so far jen psaki i think by all accounts i think you would agree did a great job. yeah. i mean, psaki had a terrible story to tell because every single thing that the biden administration touches they screw up so she didn t exactly have great information to go out there. she was at least capable of stringing those bad stories together in complete sentences. right now not only do they not have an update they don t have any useful, meaningful information that they are sharing with the american people. i don t frankly blame her too much because, like i said, the things that are happening within the biden administration testimony not something you want to go out and have to sell. when they are saying that people aren t just coming across the
