BILL HEMMER (CO-ANCHOR): We know a guy who knows a little something about LA. That's Leo Terrell. Leo, good morning and welcome back to our program. Here was her statement. She said, “At this time it appears that only two firearms, despite being safely and securely stored, were stolen. Cash, electronics, and other valuables were not. It's unnerving and, unfortunately, it's something that far too many Angelenos have faced. I do feel safe.” What was up with this? A robbery of only two guns, everything else is just left behind.
LEO TERRELL (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): Nothing makes sense on this, and you played an earlier clip where she said on a scale of 1 to 10, she feels a 10 of being safe. Bill, she lives in a different Los Angeles. No one in Los Angeles feels safe here at all. This is a candidate, Bill, who is not running on law and order. She called for defunding the police. She's never supported law enforcement. She supports Black Lives Matter. Not a peep out of her during the riots of 2020. There is not a sane Democrat who is supports law and order. And you know what, Bill? William is absolutely correct. She's going to win not based on policies or competence. She is going to win on gender and skin color. We saw that disaster as in the vice presidency in the White Pouse and press secretary. It's the wrong reason to elect this woman as mayor.
HEMMER: We'll see. I mean, Rick Caruso seems to be a pretty good candidate. We'll see how that turns out.
