elizabeth: okay. the issue is when will the white house include antifa as part of the new probe of fbi probe into extremism? >> liz, look i think with we're seeing biden was too weak to stand up to the radical left. that is how he won the democratic primary. he was too weak then, too weak now. maybe it is progress last year the democrats, the left were condemning police and promoting standing up for rioters. at least this year they're condemning rioters in d.c. and standing up for the police. that is a little bit of progress but they need to be more consistent. we said all along joe biden was not strong enough to stand up to the radical elements of their property. democrats like to talk about justice. it is not justice. it is not fair to treat criminals, treat rioters, treat anarchists differently based on political affiliations. when there are blm protests race riot the left loves them. that is just wrong. elizabeth: yeah. you know people who saw, minorities who saw their businesses destroyed and the

elizabeth: yeah. and african-american communities, minority communities, immigrant communities are getting slammed with crime. >> yeah. elizabeth: we've seen that in nearly a dozen u.s. cities it's black, it's african-americans are really getting hit hard by violent crime. i would suggest this: should an msnbc host or pundit or anchor who says what these individuals just said, should they join alexandria ocasio-cortez and try to walk in a cop's shoes for a day? they wouldn't even want to get up out of bed the next day. should they try to do that maybe for a few days and see what it's really like in urban communities in new york, in chicago, in l.a.? the what do you ato that? >> i totally agree, liz. and, listen, they need to talk to the citizens as well, the ones who want police presence in their neighborhood because crime is through the roof. elizabeth: all right. deneen borelli, it's good to see you. come back soon. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: sure. we've got a stunning new report. it indicates th
