Clay Travis discusses the massive rise in Memphis murders over the past two years and how the soft-on-crime policies and leadership are to blame for this uptick on "Jesse Watters Primetime."
CLAY TRAVIS: It's got to stop, and it's got to stop right now. I got a couple of stats for you. Memphis last year had 346 murders; the year before, 325. To put that into context for you, the all-time murder high in Memphis, Tennessee, prior to that was 230. So we're talking about a massive increase in the past couple of years. And the guy that you just referenced should have still been in prison. He only served 11 months. He was charged with attempted first-degree murder. And this also ties in with what happened earlier in Memphis in the last week.
