JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): We always knew it was bogus, but now the FBI's driving a stake right through the Democrats' favorite talking point that the crime rate is down. The Bureau quietly updating its data to show a big jump in violence under the Biden-Harris administration. Let's break it down. In 2022, the FBI said violent crime rates decreased by 2.1%. But now, the feds are adjusting that number to show an increase of 4.5%.

Greg, if Trump loses, we can point to this and say they rigged it. 

GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): I think so. Absolutely. Yeah. Summer of joy. Remember, the real crime was telling people that the crime -- that they experienced with their own ears and eyes, victims, that it was all in their head.
