GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): We condemned equally the riots of last year, the billions in damages and January 6 because we, as conservatives, or libertarians, or Republicans, we are the gate that prevents the barbarians from storming and on January 6 we became the barbarians. We don't like that.
Having said that, it would be fun to do a hearing on the crime wave and interview the police from Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, New York City just to provide real context about actual threats to democracy. We're being lectured by phony politicians about threats to our country while they ignored a mounting pile of dead -- and it's all for politics.
I also reject the idea that having politicians' jobs disrupted for two hours is somehow worse than billions of dollars in destruction and dozens of deaths, including police officers. That's why I would like to see a hearing about that because I'm not -- I'm not -- I can't stomach the crying. I can't stomach the crying. I saw some really bad stuff all last year, and none of those people lifted a damn finger.
