GREAT REPORT.
SUCH AN INTERESTING STORY, GRADY
TRIMBLE.
LET’S WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW
FROM HOUSE OVERSIGHT IS
CONGRESSMAN PAT FALLON.
PAT, CONGRESSMAN, GREAT TO HAVE
YOU ON.
SIR, YOU JUST HEARD THAT STORY,
RIGHT?
WE’VE GOT MURDER RATES SEARING
IN CHICAGO AND NEW YORK BUT
DEMOCRAT DICK GO MAYOR LORI
LIGHTFOOT RELEASE AS VIDEO OF
HER SINGING AND DANCING AND
NEW YORK DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR
RELEASES PHOTOS OF HER MAKING
PIZZAS FOR NATIONAL PIZZA MONTH.
WE DON’T BEGRUDGE PEOPLE HAVING
FUN BUT COMING AT KIND OF A
WEIRD TIME WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> IT IS LIKE NERO FIDDLING WHEN
ROME BURNS.
DATA, PREPANDEMIC YEAR 2019 TO
TODAY IN 2022 MURDERS ARE UP
NEARLY 50% AND IN THE SIX MAJOR
CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES, SIX
BIG ONES, NEW YORK, L.A.,
PHILLY, D.C., BALTIMORE AND
ATLANTA ARE ALL ON PACE TO EVEN
SURPASS THE RECORD CRIME SURGE
THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR.
SO CLEARLY THESE MAYORS ARE NOT
FOCUSING ON SUPPORTING OUR
POLICE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND
HAVING D.A.s THAT ENFORCE
POLICY AND CONVICT CRIMINALS TO
PUT THEM IN CAGES.
ELIZABETH: CONGRESSMAN,
NEW YORK, NOW ILLINOIS, THEY’RE
GETTING RID OF CASH BAIL FOR
MULTIPLE FELONIES.
THEY ARE GOING TO RELEASE
PEOPLE.
POLICE ARE UPSET.
THEY’RE GOING TO FREE HUNDREDS
OF SUSPECTS ACCUSED MURDER,
BURGLARY, KIDNAPPING, OTHER
CRIMES.
WE HAVE A NEW POLITICAL POLL
SHOW MAJORITY OF VOTERS SAY 77%,
SAY CRIME IS THE TOP ISSUE IN
THE MIDTERMS.
LOOK AT DATA, 34 STATES,
CRIMINALS SET FREE, REARRESTED.
62% REARRESTED IN A SHORT TIME
SPAN.
SEEING IN MULTIPLE STATES, THAT
IS A PROBLEM, THAT REPEAT
OFFENDERS ARE WITH 87 ARRESTS
HERE IN NEW YORK CITY.
WE HAVE ANOTHER GUY WHO WAS
ARRESTED MORE THAN 100 TIMES.
ARRESTED 103 TIMES HERE IN
NEW YORK CITY.
ON AND ON.
THE DATA IS REALLY SHOCKING.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT?
NO-CASH BAIL, WHAT IT
EFFECTIVELY DOES, LIZ, IT PUTS
PREDATORS BACK ON THE STREET.
IT MAKES ALL OF US UNSAFE.
IF YOU’RE NOT SAFE THEN YOU’RE
NOT FREE.
SO IT IS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT.
IT IS INCREDIBLY, IT JUST
DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE.
IT IS COMPLETELY ILLOGICAL.
ALL CRIMINALS WANT TO DO FEEL
GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES WHEN THEY
GO TO COCKTAIL PARTIES I’M TIRED
OF IT.
SOME OF THESE FOLKS
UNFORTUNATELY NEED TO BE PUT IN
A CAGE, TAKE THE KEY, MELT THE
DAMN THING.
THEY ARE LIKE SHARKS.
YOU WALK BY THEM YOU WILL GET
BIT.
ELIZABETH: THEY KILLED AN EMF
9/11 FIRST RESPONDER.
A FATHER WAS SHOT VISITING HIS
SON UPSTATE NEW YORK COLLEGE,
MARIST COLLEGE.
PEOPLE DON’T FEEL SAFE.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY HURTING
WOMEN.
WOMEN ARE NOW SAYING STOP
DEFUNDING POLICE.
WE NEED PROTECTION.
OUR PRODUCER CLAIRE O’CONNOR,
WENT OUT IN THE STREETS OF
NEW YORK TO TALK TO HIM.
LET’S TAKE A LISTEN.
>> AS WOMAN DO YOU FEEL SAFE
HERE IN NEW YORK CITY?
>> AS A WOMAN I DON’T THINK I
NECESSARILY FEEL SAFE REALLY
ANYWHERE ESPECIALLY IN BIG
CITIES LIKE THIS.
THERE HAS BEEN MORE RIOTS
RECENTLY.
MORE DANGEROUS STUFF GOING ON IN
THE SUBWAYS AND STUFF.
>> MY HUSBAND IS WITH US SO IT
MAKES US FEEL SAFER.
I WOULD NOT WALK ALONE UP HERE.
>> INCREASING SECURITY IN THE
SUBWAY STATIONS ET CETERA WOULD
HELP PEOPLE FEEL MORE SECURE AND
SAFE TRAVELING.
>> IT IS HARD TO GET POLICEMAN
TODAY, WE COULD USE, A LITTLE
BIT MORE POLICE PRESENCE.
WE HAVEN’T SEEN A LOT SINCE
WALKING AROUND.
>> THEY NEED TO KEEP CRIMINALS
IN JAIL LONGER.
IF THEY COMMIT A CRIME, QUIT
CRIMINALIZING THE HARD-WORKING
AMERICANS THAT ARE GETTING
VICTIMIZED.
I THINK IT IS AWFUL.
>> I DON’T TAKE THE SUBWAY PAST
8:00.
WHICH MEANS I NEED TO UBER A
CAB, THAT CAN BE EXPENSIVE.
>> I FEEL LIKE ANYTHING CAN
REALLY HAPPEN.
YOU CAN’T SAY TO YOURSELF THIS
CAN’T HAPPEN TO ME.
THIS WON’T HAPPEN TO ME.
IT COULD, ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN
TO YOU ESPECIALLY BY YOURSELF.
ELIZABETH: CONGRESSMAN DO YOU
HEAR ANY DEMOCRAT WOMAN STANDING
UP AND SAYING STOP WITH THE
CRIMES AGAINST WOMEN, STOP WITH
THE CRIMES HURTING CHILDREN, DO
YOU HEAR THAT?
>> NO.
YOU KNOW IT IS DEAFENING.
THAT SILENCE IS CHILLING.
WE SHOULD BE DOING COME SENSE
CALL THING SUPPORT POLICE, PUN
PUSH CRIMINALS.
THEY’RE TRYING TO MAKE THE GOOD
GUYS BAD, BAD GUYS GOOFED.
WE HAVE A TO HAVE A LINE IN THE
SAND.
OUR POLICE AND FIRST-RESPONDERS
AND ARE THE MILITARY.
