JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): They're saying this is not a top issue. Crime was a top issue in November. Crime was a bigger issue than foreign affairs and the deficit. So if Trump is manufacturing a crisis, homicide is not a crisis. This culture war the Dems tried to wage with, like, trans and race doesn't stand a chance when it comes to crime and immigration.
And it's not only good for policy, because obviously saving lives is important, it's great politics. You're going to send ICE guys to cities and you're going to send National Guard to cities, and you're going to go city by city, week by week, and you're going to force the Democrats to defend crime and illegal aliens over and over and over again.
