RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
NOAH: "It really sucks people call Chicago the most dangerous city in America especially when it's not really true. Does Chicago have the most murders? Yes, but it's also the third biggest city. If you want the talk about cities that are the most dangerous, right, you have to look at murders per capita, the amount of violent crime relative to the size of the city. Think of it this way, would you rather be in a big city with 5 Pennywise the clowns or in an Uber pool with just one? Right? That's per capita. That's all it is. That's what it is. And now, please, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying people shouldn't be concerned about murders in Chicago, I'm just saying it's weird people in politics, especially on the right, they always point fingers at Chicago. It's weird because there are other cities with higher murder rates. You know, St. Louis, Baltimore, Cleveland. People aren't, like, don't go to Cleveland -- well, they do but not because of murder. If other cities in America have more violence per capita, then why would the right be so obsessed with Chicago? I don't know, you tell me if you guys can figure it out."
