He then called for Republicans to pass his budget instead of allegedly seeking to "abolish the FBI."
On "The Five" Wednesday, co-host Greg Gutfeld cited the statistically inordinate amount of violent crime in liberal precincts like Chicago, which lacks a single Republican on its city council, but has one of the highest violent crime rates in the country.

"There is a country within a country that has insane gun crime," he said. "A specific country within a country. But it's Biden's people -- these are liberal mayors in liberal cities that are having rampant gun crime."
"You can say, oh, but it's a red state: Doesn't matter. It's in these cities. So it's a country within a country." Gutfeld added, responding to critics who may point to high-crime cities like Philadelphia, New Orleans and Atlanta lying within swing- or Republican-majority states.

Gutfeld said Biden is instead punishing the entire United States – and failed to explicitly mention gangs during his speech.
"Let's face it, it's almost all gangs; handguns; people getting released on the street -- They get the gun confiscated. They know they're going to get another one," he said.
"All a normal person wants is a safe life. That's what everybody wants," Gutfeld concluded, adding that the three "basics" to a safe life – a fence or border, protection via the Second Amendment, and protection via law enforcement – have all come under attack from Democrats like Biden.
Co-host Judge Jeanine Pirro separately questioned whether Biden actually believes criminals are going to suddenly seek legal channels to acquire firearms, given his new orders and push for restrictive legislation.
