overstated the events of january 6th. no one has been charged with insurrection. 500 plus people have been arrested, some of them by the way who have genuine questions and should be answered about what is due process. they they are being held to this day, and i talked about that on fox news prime time. if you only engage in rhetoric and hyperbole in describing the events you set aside principles and journalistic ethics and questions about what happened that day. there s a lot of questions that are not being asked about january 6th. i think we should be more responsible about how we talk about that day. howie: last hour, the former president told maria bartiromo we won this election in a landslide. he continues to say that. what do you make of him describing january 6th as an unfortunate event which is phraseology that i haven t heard him use before. it s a step in the right direction but sadly it is the big lie that he keeps perpetrating that he won t let
guilty of horrendous crimes to this day he s not hitler, but guilty of horrendous crimes yet trump has praised him or kim jong-un or erdogan of turkey. what you know is that line particularly on holocaust denial or anti-semitic comments like this, notably on january 6th, some rioters were wearing t-shirts that had phraseology of holocaust deniers. where does that come from? why does that have a life in the far right in this country today? it s a dangerous life, as you know. law enforcement has pointed to this kind of mentality as part of what s feeding the biggest concerns out there right now which is white supremacy. anti-semitism is a huge part of that. as you noted, this isn t just private comments. there s no doubt that perez praises strong men and anti democratic leaders.
trey: yeah, bret. i mean, dr. krauthammer is right again and then you add to that the calls to defund the police and then the thought wing of the democrat party if that s the right phraseology, some of them even said they wanted to eliminate the police and hire social workers. you have so-called progressive prosecutors who have never met anyone that they think ought to be in jail. and then you have got both political parties. both of them have minimized acts the violence on their side. you add to that a media that can t tell the difference between an arsonist and a peaceful protester, it is the most natural and probable consequence in the world. you are going to see a spike in crime when you have seen a spike in lawlessness. bret: ben? ben: well, dr. krauthammer s words are obviously still true today. i think that one of the big things we have to appreciate about this moment is that smart democrats are looking at the poll numbers that they are
oh, my god. greg: if i had a dollar for every head kat s destroyed. you keep inviting me over greg: because i like getting rid of my hedges. by the way don t hedge on your answers to this. see, that s how i m a hosed. so used to phraseology is amazing. you plan on changing your behavior? no. absolutely not. first of all, i get that health is important, but it s also craft. you can be a super healthy person eat healthy and work out all the time and get hit by a bus out of a green juice store. i don t know the name of one because i don t do that. there s a statistic that says more people die leaving health food stores getting hit by trucks. did you know that. i m sure it s true. alcohol is not that good for anyone but also it can be kind of fun greg: it is. and also if it wasn t for alcohol, many of us, including me, would never have been born.
this, but set a white house-generated strategy. yeah. and president biden ordered this 100-day review of the u.s. government review of how to deal with terrorism, and what is this policy addressing, and what is it missing? what is it missing? well, part of the problem of people radicalizing is that it is a hard problem and no magic solution for that, but some of the things that i would point to, jim, one is enforcing the laws against the private militias exists and the books, and two, enforcing the guns being in the wrong people s hands, and three, telling the law enforcement that these are the symbols that you should be looking for, and they are not known to the public, and the phraseology and symbolology, and the booklet to be widely distributed to say, these are the indicators of mobilization, and this is agnostic to what the police are looking for, because it can work for in-cell
