joining me is heather mcdonald author of "the war on cops." these are children and babies.e being shot. why aren't the democratic leaders running these big cities making this a priority. >> it's horrifying. we learned a true fact. the press didn't give a damn about black lives matter and the democrats don't. the only time they care is if somebody is shot by a cop. this carnage went on last year. 4 dozen black children gunned down in drive by shootings. i don't know a single one of those deaths protested by a black lives matter activist. cops are demoralized. they are being assaulted at record rates. a 91% increase on ambush assaults on officers. they are told by the biden administration they are racist for going into high crime neighborhoods and trying to save lives. they are backing off pro-active policing and the criminals are stepping up. people are carrying guns and using them. there is no consequence because the left wing prosecutors say we won't prosecute low level misdemeanor crimes or gun crimes. the democrats unleashed a monster. it will be hard to get back. >> lis

let's bring in heather mcdonald now. york and especially in chicago. is he right? >> absolutely right. this is the worst possible disaster for the democrats. we are seeing a lived experiment, their attitudes toward the cops, defund the police, demonize the police, accused the police of racism for trying to protect minority lives and an absolute disaster for black lives in this country. it is barely covered. the daily 2 dozen blacks who are killed a day and drive-by shootings are utterly off the screens of the news channels. ashley: but it is the democrats, they say, the republicans were the ones defunding the police, i find galling that they could say that but you have been following this story for quite some time. it was not the gop calling for defunding the police. >> know and it is not the gop that is demoralizing cops with phony charges of racism. even without an official defunding in the city you have cops that are not acting proactively to go after criminals because they know they will be accused of racism. it is t
