New York Governor Kathy Hochul is sending 750 National Guard troops to New York City’s subways to crack down on violence. But is a pseudo-military state really the best solution? How about New York just ENFORCE ITS LAWS and jail criminals instead? Glenn shares 2 stories to illustrate this: In New York, 4 people have been released back into their communities, despite being accused of hacking up human bodies. Meanwhile in Florida, cops are actually arresting and jailing criminals. Glenn also asks, will Biden talk about ANY of this during his State of the Union speech?

GLENN: All right. So Kathy Hochul has decided that she's going to put a thousand National Guard troops, to check bags, in the New York City subway system.
Wow. That's wonderful. Crime in the subway, is up 45 percent, year on year.
45 percent increase. Okay. So that's probably not, you know, really that great.
So she sends 750 uniformed National Guard soldiers, with orders to search bags for weapons, and other dangerous stuff. So isn't that top and frisk, Stu?
Stu, I think that is. So you have the National Guard, in the subways of New York.
I don't know if you notice. But the National Guard comes with big weapons.
And uniforms. So they're in our subways.
And that's going to help on crime.
By showing a military presence in New York. You know, the first time I ever saw military presence in the United States, off of a base, was in New York, right after 9/11.
And there was marshal law, in the lower part of Manhattan.
You didn't go in or out.
And there were Humvees. And everybody was in uniform and had a machine gun.
It was ugly. It was ugly.
And it was so disturbing to see that on the streets of America. I had never seen it before. I don't know if people are just used to seeing this. In New York.
I know they wouldn't elsewhere.
But we're not used to seeing the military, policing in New York.
So they are going to be in the subways. And she says, that's going to help, you know, with the -- with -- with crime in the subways.
Okay. Well, there's another way to do that. I don't know if she thought of this.
Listen to this story.
Four people were arrested in connection to three incidents of human remains being found on Long Island.
Okay?
This is just outside of New York City.
Police made the arrest after performing a search warrant on an apartment in Amityville, shared by three of the suspects.
Forty-year-old Amanda Wallace, 44-year-old Steven Brown, 38-year-old Jeffrey Mackey. Investigations say they found human remains and cutting tools, including a used meat cleaver.
A fourth suspect was also identified as 33-year-old Alexis Nevus (phonetic), a homeless woman.
Now, the body parts, apparently, belonged to an unidentified, 59-year-old woman and a 53-year-old man.
The names of the victims have not been released. But what happened was these guys, somehow or another, got a hold of these bodies.
Oh. We just found two of the dead bodies. And hacked them all up, and then went around in parks. And just left a lake here. A hand here.
A head over here. Like Easter egg for crazy people. Easter hunting.
STU: What else are you supposed to do in that situation.
GLENN: Right.
STU: If you're just walking around. See a body somewhere. You will hack it up. And leave it various parts.
GLENN: All four. Now, remember, uncle is putting National Guard, kind of an extreme measure. In the subways.
All four were charged on Wednesday. With first degree hindering prosecution, tampering with physical evidence.
And concealment of a human corpse.
They all pleaded not guilty. However -- however, they have not been charged with a killing of the two victims, but in the investigation, it's pending. And more charges will be forthcoming.
So what happened?
They were charged, and then ordered to not leave Suffolk county.
And they're on supervised release now.
So...
So just people who are dismembering people.
STU: So they can still walk around Suffolk county. And do anything they can do. They just shouldn't leave Suffolk county.
GLENN: Right. And they're not going to.
STU: That's good. How else will you find these bodies?
You need some people out there looking for these bodies, to find them and hack them up and put them in different parks, if they happen to come across them.
GLENN: Right. Now, let me ask you.
Wouldn't it be better, to put the people, who are charged with crimes, even grisly heinous crimes, into jail, and not let them right back out on the street?
Just saying. That's an idea.
STU: Well, I think the problem with that idea, is that bodies will pile up everywhere.
We're already going to see this happen in Nassau County. Now that they can't cross the line, what will happen there?
GLENN: I don't know. I don't know.
Let me give another story. Florida sheriff says he found evidence that illegal aliens were using federal flight vouchers in order to aid human trafficking. Across the US border, during a law enforcement operation.
Polk County sheriff Grady Judd, applauded his deputies for arresting 228 people, during a massive multi-agency operation, named Operation March Madness -- sorry, Operation March Sadness, 2024.
Among those arrested in the operation were teachers, coaches, medical professionals, active military service members, and 21 illegal aliens.
So at least there weren't the four people that were chopping people up in the park.
He came out and said, we have a crisis at the border.
And because of the crisis at the border, we have people that are victimizing illegal folks. Forcing them into the sex trade. Because we allow these criminals into the country illegally, we all rail about it, but nobody does anything.
Judge said, one suspect had brought three female illegal aliens to Florida from New York. They said, when they came into the country, illegally, the DHS, Department of Homeland Security, gave them a form, an ID. Paperwork.
And allowed them to fly for free anywhere in America.
You know how Southwest Airlines will let your bags fly for free.
Federal government will let your immigrants fly for free said the sheriff.
The victim said, they were forced to pay back $3,000 to the female human trafficker, under the threat of violence.
They tell us that they fly into major metro centers for free on the federal government's dime.
Whether they set up their appointment -- then they set up their appointments for sex, all over the country.
So we know this is happening.
As I told you last hour.
We know fentanyl is coming in over the border.
And it's all done by China.
In fact, China just found this old recipe.
And they're making it. Now, it was discovered in the 1950s, as a pain relief agent. And doctors saw it. Because it is like first time addiction, and possible death. When it's made in the lab, under the right circumstances, they said there was no medical reason for this to ever be made.
And so they went back into the shelf of the pharmaceutical companies. Back in 1950 something.
And guess who just found it?
China. And so now they're making it. And so now they're making it. And they're making it for all of the lovely people, that are coming across from the drug cartels into our country. Isn't that great?
Is Biden going to talk about any of this. Any of of it?
He's going to talk about the border tonight, in the State of the Union address. And he's going to blame it on the Republicans.
They just didn't want to solve the problem. No. What you wanted to solve, was something we've debated about for decades now.
Do we just make everybody a citizen?
No. That's not what we -- what we were trying to solve
We're trying to solve the invasion from the southern, and now northern border.
From places like China.
But he's not going to talk about that.
He has to blame the Republicans. Because when you talk about drugs, and all the people that are dying of fentanyl, there's only one person to blame. The Chinese, getting into bed with the drug cartels, intentionally, doing an opium war on us.
And who is responsible for that happening? Anybody, who allows illegals and the drug cartels to rule our border.
That's the president. But he can't say anything.
Get this: Newly disclosed emails show a Chinese businessman, who partnered with Hunter Biden's Burnum Firm, was primarily motivated by access rather than financial considerations, bolstering the House Oversight Committee's contention that the Biden name was the commodity.
Now, this is quite amazing. It was found just the news, is reporting this.
And it was part of the testimony of the Oversight Committee. And Hunter Biden had business meetings with his firm.
And a -- another firm, run by, I think his name is Henry Zhao.
And they were looking to merge Burnum, that's his firm -- with Harvest, which is the Chinese Communist Party firm. And they were going to get all kinds of access to the markets. Okay?
Nobody has ever been given this kind of access to Chinese markets before. Ever. Not Goldman Sachs. No one.
He got it. And nobody was really asking why. How did that happen?
Okay. So the team, Hunter's team wanted to let Zhao know that we're on track, for some really good things, and a kind of a thank you, after this meeting.
Here is the letter. We're excited by the prospect of being able to work side by side with Harvest by way of a globally recognized platform.
Please, pass along my regards to Henry. And know that -- and tell him, what we discussed during our last lunch together in Beijing, still holds true.
And, Michael, please also remind Henry of our conversation about a board seat for a certain relation of mine.
Devon and I golfed with that relation, earlier last week. And we discussed this very idea again. And as always, he remains very keen on the opportunity.
Now, he also admitted under oath, this last week, that, yes. The big guy is his dad.
What -- this isn't -- this isn't some small crime.
There are 133 Chinese that have come across our border, in the last three years.
30,000 of them in -- since October. We don't know who they are. These are the ones we caught. All military-aged men. In fact, there are now more Chinese people, coming in. Not families. Chinese guys, coming in across the border, in California. Than Mexicans.
And are we doing anything to stop it?
No. No. The Biden administration for some reason said, look, we just got to shorten this. Forty-four questions that you have to ask.
You know, if you -- if you stop an illegal alien. Forty-four questions. Let's narrow that down. I think it's to seven. Seven questions.
From 44 to seven. But only for the Chinese.
What? Why?
You need to know that in the State of the Union tonight, he's not going to tell you anything that is real.
It's going to be blame.
But know that something is very, very wrong.
And when you talk about crime, he's probably going to say that crime has gone down. Remember, the national guard, that Hochul has just put into the subways.
Why would they do that? If crime was going down? If crime was fine?
Who is -- what Republican has had anything to do with New York or Chicago, in forever?
So how does that work?
How are -- how are cities collapsing, under the weight, because they are sanctuary cities. How is that the fault of the Republican Party?
I'm not looking for fault.
I'm looking for someone to, actually, fix it.
And this administration is doing nothing, but empowering all the people that would love to see us live in chaos.
