You defund the police, you cut off the money, you fire the police officers. That's what we've seen the radical left do. We saw the NYPD cut over a billion dollars from their budget. Sadly, we saw the Austin police department here in Texas cut $150 million from its police budget. We saw Minneapolis do that, by the way. Every time they do that, the crime rates go up, the murder rates go up. Amazing. When you pull cops off the street, more people die. (27:14–27:22)
