GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): We've been talking about what's going on in the subways. We've been talking about what's been going on in the streets. The mentally ill being left to suffer on the street. The criminally deranged left on the street to attack and push women in front of trains and beat people over the head with pieces of wood. We have been talking about the danger to themselves and the dangers to others for years. And I have nothing but contempt for the outraged leftist who caused this, who ignored this. They are like the person on the subway who just gets on their phone. 

...

If anybody says this is like George Floyd -- no -- it's because of George Floyd. Because since George Floyd, we've had the resulting chaos, the defunding, the emasculation of the police egged on by the squad, by the media, by different media outlets except CNN. They -- that created the pathway and a void where you saw fewer police and you -- who had to fill the void? And we predicted this. Citizens were going to fill the void.

...

So, about those bystanders, I think there were three guys -- and I don't think they were all white, right? I don't know. They had to make a decision on their own, there was no police. They were adult men. It was on them, a chance to act and it was -- and they chose to act and I support the fact that they thought people were in trouble. The left has emasculated law enforcement. These are the only people you can rely on.
