Smith countered Outnumbered hosts claims about filthy New York City in the most understated way.
The hosts of Fox News Outnumbered have been on something of a downer about New York City this week. For two successive days, they made various claims about the city becoming filthy and more dangerous than ever and they laid the blame firmly at the feet of Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat.

Smith didnt refer to his colleagues claims directly. But at the end of a segment centering on the ongoing partial government shutdown, he said:

The violent crime rate is the lowest of any major city in America.
Streets are clean, things are good.
