Julie, morgan mentioned talking down to the american people. we had speaker pelosi talking down to her colleague, kevin mccarthy, when she said he was such a for questioning the science behind returning to the mask restrictions on capitol hill. the regulations have been released and you can be only arrested by capitol police if you fail to comply, not if you just don t wear a mask in the first place. don t have anything better to do at all? julie: i m so sick of hearing democrats talk on both sides of their mouths. as far as nancy pelosi is concerned, don t preach follow the science if you are not following what you preach. if you want to follow the science, follow the facts. 150 million people have been vaccinated, there have been only 65,000 breakthrough cases, those who have been vaccinated that got the delta variant or the original covid-19. that means only 0.04% of americans are actually getting it. no vaccine is 100%, that if you want to follow the science, vaccines work.
Leaving in droves. who would want to join a police force in this current climate? morgan: especially when you have so many children that used to look up to cops. i still hope they do. he would bring your dad or your mom in to show and tell it to show what your parents have grown up to be, it was something that we admire. i think it was probably four or five years ago when this really started to heat up. it was in the obama administration. i remember visibly talking about this on m what the left is about to do, what they did to members of the military during vietnam. i m really sorry to say that we have seen that happen. instead of having mature, reasonable conversations about things like criminal justice reform, that was bipartisan legislation that happened in the trump administration. the left could be talking about how we can pursue more criminal justice reform, how we can add onto that, but instead it s been
New officers in fy 22. emily: over a year after the d.c. city council voted to defund the police force by $15 million, mayor muriel bowser is now calling for a major investment in police recruitment efforts i made a surge in violent crime. homicide in the nation s capital hit a 16-year high last year and so far 2021 is on track to surpass that. while mayor bowser was opposed to defunding the police, she s been a vocal supporter of the black lives matter movement, which are themselves advocates for defunding the police. it s not just her, the democratic mayors of seattle, roanoke, minneapolis, dallas, and portland are calling for more police officers as they face critical staffing and crime issues also. morgan, i will start with you on this. what a difference a year makes. but i m curious who they think they re going to hire, when police officers are retiring and
Pithy slogans combined with dangerous cuts. as you pointed out, $15 million that muriel bowser cut from d.c. s budget, and i would to be have in d.c.? my friend had a domestic violence situation over the weekend, he was trying to assist another friend, went to a precinct, there was no one at the front desk for them to even report the crime. this is the kind of stuff people are facing in cities around the country and this rhetoric is now dangerous for citizens and especially for victims. emily: and morgan, it s not like it excuse me, julie, it s not like this just started happening a few days ago. months and months ago the deputy mayor and interim police chief in seattle called a public health prices. the oakland pd chief called it a crisis, as well, in terms of the flattening of police ranks in conjunction with the crime spikes and lack of any elected official supporting them with this. was in the boiling point literally over a year ago?
Be totally honest because that s what these tweets imply. kennedy: there s a lot of work to be done, morgan. not only on infrastructure but certainly on immigration and the border crisis. but when you are making every issue about race, you sort of don t have to focus on the legislation at all, do you? morgan: from a political perspective, this makes no sense. if the bill is passed and signed by the president it would be a very big win for a democratic president who, that is in their party. i don t even understand from a political perspective why they are attacking a piece of bipartisan legislation. that would come if enacted, be a big win for the party. maybe perhaps it s because they re not getting their way as it relates to the green new deal legislation that they wanted included in the infrastructure build. of course it looks like a lot of that is being stripped out in the bipartisan talks. so i think that they are just pouting, maybe. kennedy: that s a really good point.
