Jon Stewart was once what people might call a “liberal.” Now, he’s just like all the others who abandoned their integrity to go off the “woke” deep end.

“He’s no longer a liberal, he is just sort of a ‘wokester,’” Dave Rubin says, before showing a clip of Stewart attempting to debunk the GOP’s city crime narrative.

“It’s the dang Democrat-encouraged crime. It’s one of the right’s favorite talking points, not just from Milwaukee but for all Democratic run cities,” Stewart mocked. “Those cities are crime-infested holes where life is miserable and everyone hates everybody.”

“By the way, it does turn out that crime is actually down,” he continued, before referencing a clip of Lester Holt claiming that the FBI reported the nation’s violent crime rate has dropped dramatically this year.

“It’s all a misunderstanding; but now that the FBI numbers are out, I’m sure that the right-wing media will adjust accordingly,” Stewart mocked again, sharing a clip of a Fox News host saying that cities still have a poor quality of life while a video of a car doing donuts plays in the background.

“He’s making the reverse point of the point he’s trying to make. He’s showing, ‘Oh these guys are doing double donuts.’ Yes, it’s illegal and people can be killed,” Rubin comments.

But that’s not all.

The reason Stewart is able to regurgitate those FBI numbers is because a large portion of crime is never reported to the FBI in the first place.

According to a report by the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, 37% of police departments stopped reporting crime data to the FBI, including large departments for Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York.

For other jurisdictions like Baltimore and Nashville, crimes are being underreported or undercounted.

“So, again, we can all argue about the percentages and everything else, but we simply know that in Republican-run cities you cannot run into a CVS and steal all of the stuff,” Rubin says.

SHOCKING: 'FLASH MOB' theft hits Nordstrom as crime rates SKYROCKET across America

If you’re looking for a safe, crime-free city to call home, Los Angeles is probably not the place.

California police have reported that more than 30 people stole over $300,000 worth of items from a Los Angeles shopping mall this past Saturday afternoon.

Video footage shows what looks to be over a dozen people in black masks and clothing escaping the ransacked store with stolen merchandise in hand.

Glenn Beck and Stu Burguiere review the footage, shocked.

“Nobody’s stopping them,” Glenn remarks.

“If I didn’t have, you know, my own moral compass, and I knew they couldn’t do anything, and I needed a screwdriver, why wouldn’t I just walk in and just grab the screwdriver and walk out?” he adds.

Stu claims that his wife and daughter witnessed something similar last year. The two were in a makeup store when three women came in with giant black grocery bags and filled them up with makeup.

“They just walked out with no conflict, no one trying to stop them. They just walked in and walked out,” Stu says.

When his wife asked a worker what had happened, she was told those people come in at least once a month and that employees have to let them in. No one's allowed to stop them.

And Stu isn’t sure how to stop shoplifters either.

“I don’t know what the solution is to it exactly. It’s either massive increase in police force, where you have police everywhere, which is like a police-state-type environment, because if you can’t trust anybody to not break the law constantly that’s what winds up happening.”

Biden to ask Congress for $32 billion in police funding to show Americans he is serious about fighting crime

The "Defund the Police" movement will soon be dealt another major blow, this time by the Biden administration.

What are the details?

On Monday, President Joe Biden will urge Congress to approve more than $32 billion in new spending specifically aimed at fighting crime through law enforcement, Axios reported.

The proposal, included as a part of Biden's 2023 budget plans, puts a price tag on promises he made earlier this month during his first State of the Union address, the outlet noted.

During the address, Biden riled Black Lives Matter and other progressive anti-police activists when he emphatically renounced the movement to strip local police departments of funding and reimagine policing nationwide.

"We should all agree the answer is not to defund the police; it's to fund the police!" he exclaimed. "Fund them. Fund them. Fund them with resources and training," he continued, as Republicans and many Democrats applauded.

The budget proposal will reportedly allocate $20.6 billion over the next fiscal year to the Justice Department for discretionary spending on federal law enforcement, crime prevention, and intervention and will also mandate $30 billion in new spending over the next decade for a variety of programs to expand law enforcement and crime prevention, though details on those programs have yet to be released.

The discretionary spending money is reportedly aimed at increasing resources for federal prosecutors and state and local law enforcement agencies, allowing the latter to hire more officers to police violence in their communities.

It specifically doubles the funding for the COPS Hiring Program and would pay for nearly 300 new deputy marshals and related personnel as well as an additional 140 Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) agents and investigators.

Why does it matter?

Axios reported that the proposal is intended to show Americans that Biden is serious about combatting crime in the U.S. ahead of the midterm elections.

But it may be too little, too late from a political standpoint. The country has been grappling with a continued scourge of violent crime since 2020, and the problem has only gotten worse in many major metropolitan areas — such as Philadelphia and Chicago — since Biden took office.

Americans by and large hold the president and his Democratic counterparts in Congress accountable for the rise in violent crime.

At the least, however, many onlookers may be pleased to see the federal government effectively renounce the "Defund the Police" movement in practice and not just word, even as many progressive communities across the country continue to push anti-police policies.

The message from the Biden administration is clear. "Defund the police" efforts have failed.
