THIS IS "THE FIVE."
[SCREAMING]
>> Adam: DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
MAKING EXCUSES AFTER A VIOLENT
TEEN TAKEOVER RAMPAGES THE
STREETS BLOCKING TRAFFIC AND
SMASHING CAR WINDOWS AND
DESTROYING PROPERTY IN CHICAGO.
TWO TEENS WERE SHOT AND THE
WHOLE THING WAS ORGANIZED ON
SOCIAL MEDIA.
POLICE WERE OUTNUMBERED AND ONLY
MANAGED TO MAKE 15 ARRESTS.
A WOMAN CAUGHT IN THE MAYHEM
DESCRIBING THE SCENE AFTER HER
CAR WAS ATTACKED.
>> I JUMP IN MY CAR.
MY HUSBAND GO TO THE HOSPITAL.
>> WHAT DID THEY DO?
>> BECAUSE THE GUY -- IN THE
FACE
FACE.
>> Dana: DEMOCRATS THINK IT WAS
JUST TEENS BEING TEENS, MAYOR
BRANDON JOHNSON CONDEMNING WHAT
HAPPENED BUT SAYS IT IS NOT
CONSTRUCTIVE TO DEMONIZE YOUTH
AND THE OUTGOING MAYOR LORI
LIGHTFOOT SAID THIS.
>> THERE ARE LOTS OF
OPPORTUNITIES TO REDIRECT YOUNG
PEOPLE TO SAFE SPACES.
HERE IS THE THING, THE MASS
MAJORITY OF YOUNG PEOPLE CAME
DOWNTOWN BECAUSE IT WAS GREAT
WEATHER AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO
ENJOY THE CITY, THAT IS ENTIRELY
APPROPRIATE.
THERE WERE A FEW THAT CAME WITH
DIFFERENT INTENTION AND THEY
HAVE AND WILL BE DEALT WITH.
I WILL NOT USE YOUR LANGUAGE,
WHICH I THINK IS WRONG, TO SAY
IT IS MAYHEM.
>> Dana: CHICAGO CHAOS AS CRIME
MAKES MORE CHAOS IN NEW YORK
CITY AND REPUBLICANS HOLDING A
HEARING THAT FEATURES VICTIMS OF
LIBERAL POLICIES.
>> ALL TYPES OF CRIMINAL
ELEMENTS FREE TO DO WHAT THEY
WANT, WHEN THEY WANT, HOWEVER
THEY WANT TO WHOMEVER THEY WANT
WITH NO CONSEQUENCES, NO
DETERRENCE.
>> DO YOU BELIEVE THE CRIMINALS
WHO MURDERED YOUR SON RECEIVED
JUSTICE?
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT.
THERE SHOULD BE NO PLEA DEALS
FOR MURDER.
>> DO YOU FEEL YOUR FAMILY WAS
TREATED APPROPRIATELY IN THE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM?
>> ABSOLUTELY NOT, WE WERE
TREATED LIKE GARBAGE.
>> Dana: GREG, HERE ON A MONDAY,
A LOT OF CRIME BLOWS UP,
ESPECIALLY IN CHICAGO ON THE
WEEKEND, YOUR TAKE ON THE
CHICAGO SCENE OR THE NEW YORK
HEARING.
>> Greg: I FIND IT WHEN LANGUAGE
IS DEEMED MORE DANGEROUS, IF YOU
EXPRESS WORDS ABOUT MOB VIOLENCE, GOD FORBID YOU SAY
VIOLENCE, GOD FORBID YOU SAY
THESE PEOPLE ARE ACTING LIKE
ANIMALS, THAT IS RACIST.
THE MAYOR BEMOANS THE ACTIVITY,
THE MAYOR THAT CANCELLED
HOMEWORK.
RIOTING ISUN IF ONLY BECAUSE IT
IS UNSUPERVISED, YOU THINK THEY
ARE GOING TO SAY I WOULDN’T DO
THIS IF THEIR WAS ACTIVITIES,
MAYBE A POTLUCK AT CHURCH WE
COULD GO TO.
THEIR MINDSETS ARE COMPETING FOR
THE BRAINS AND I WILL NOT SAY
YOUNG BLACKS, I WILL ASSUME THE
CROWDS WERE MOSTLY BLACK, I
CANNOT TELL.
SAFE GUESS BECAUSE WE TALK ABOUT
CHICAGO AND TALK ABOUT THE CRIME
THAT IS GOING ON THERE THAT IS
AFFECTING BLACK MINORITIES AND
FAMILIES MOST.
REPUBLICANS SAY YOU CAN DO
ANYTHING AS LONG AS YOU GET
EDUCATION AND STAY OUT OF
TROUBLE, THE WORLD IS YOUR
OYSTER AND THE LEFT DOES THE
OPPOSITE.
YOU CAN’T DO ANYTHING, RACISM IS
EVER-PRESENT OVERWHELMING
OBSTACLE.
WHAT DOES THAT DO?
IT TELLS YOUNG KIDS THAT THEY
CAN DO ANYTHING.
THAT THEY CAN GO OUT AND BEAT
THE CRAP OUT OF INNOCENT PEOPLE
AND LOOT AND DESTROY PROPERTY
BECAUSE THEIR LIFE IS ALREADY
SCREWED.
RIGHT?
THEIR LIFE IS ALREADY OVER,
THERE IS UNSPEAKABLE OBSTACLE IN
FRONT OF THEM, IT DOESN’T MATTER
WHAT THEY DO, SO THEY THROW AWAY
THEIR LIVES WITH STUPID
BEHAVIOR.
>> Dana: JUDGE, COMMENT WHATEVER
YOU WANT, BUT THE BLACK CAUCUS
CHAIR SAID, SINCE I’M GLUTTON
FOR PUNISHMENT AND I WILL GET
WEIRDO REPLIES, I WOULD LOOK AT
BEHAVE YOUR OF YOUNG PEOPLE AS
POLITICAL ACT AND STATEMENT, MAS
PROTEST AGAINST POVERTY AND
SEGREGATION, WHICH GUARANTEES
THE 15 PEOPLE ARRESTED, HE
WOULDN’T BLAME THEM FOR CRIME
COMMITTED.
>> Jeanine: THERE IS DISCONNECT
BETWEEN WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
AND WHAT IS UPON HAING ON THE
STREET.
THEY TRY TO CONVINCE US OF THIS
IN NEW YORK WHEN KATHY HOCHUL
RAN FOR GOVERNOR.
IT IS A PERCEPTION PROBLEM IN
CHICAGO.
THE DAY AFTER THIS HAPPENED,
CHICAGO POLICE ENCOURAGED PEOPLE
TO ENJOY WHAT THE CITY HAS TO
OFFER A DAY AFTER THE TEEN
CHAOS.
LET ME MAKE ONE THING PERFECTLY
CLEAR.
YOU CAN HAVE PEOPLE COME OUT AND
SAY LIKE BRANDON JOHNSON DID,
THE NEW MAYOR OF CHICAGO, IT IS
NOT CONSTRUCTIVE TO DEMONIZE THE
YOUTH WHO HAVE BEEN STARVED OF
OPPORTUNITY IN THEIR OWN
COMMUNITIES.
I DISAGREE.
IT IS TIME TO DEMONIZE THEM AND
SEND THEM TO JAIL.
I’M TIRED OF THE OLD ARGUMENT,
IS IT PARENTS OR SCHOOL OR THE
POLICE WHO SHOULD BE IN CHARGE?
RIGHT NOW WHEN YOU’RE IN A
PUBLIC AREA AND YOU CAUSE THIS
MAYHEM AND ANARCHY, THIS IS WHEN
LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS TO COME IN
AND THERE HAS TO BE CONSEQUENCES
AND THE WAY THEY STARTED THE HEARING IN NEW YORK, DANA,
HEARING IN NEW YORK, DANA,
CONGRESSMAN JEROME NADLER TALKS
ABOUT THIS IS ABOUT SOMEBODY
ELSE, DAN GOLDMAN RAN FOR
CONGRESS, I’M A FORMER
PROSECUTOR AND I KNOW HOW TO
PROSECUTE CRIME.
HE COMES OUT AND SAYS YOUR
EXPERIENCES TO THE MOTHER WE
JUST HEARD WHO PAINFULLY
DESCRIBED WHAT HAPPENED, YOUR
EXPERIENCES ARE DEVASTATING,
THIS IS CHARADE, COVER-UP FOR
DONALD TRUMP.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT A CHARADE.
THIS IS ABOUT PEOPLE LIVING
THEIR LIVES IN FRONT OF THE REST
OF US AND THE SOONER WE DECIDE
THERE HAS TO BE A PLAN TO TURN
THIS AROUND, SOONER KIDS GO
ONLINE AND POST WE’RE GOING TO
GO OUT, STEAL, BEAT PEOPLE UP,
JUMP ON ARE CAS, BREAK DOWN
BUSES, WE’RE GOING TO HAVE
FIGHTS AND HAVE CAR SPINS AND IN
CALIFORNIA, THEY ACTUALLY PASSED
A LAW SPECIFIC TO WHAT THEY ARE
DOING WITH THESE -- WHAT DO THEY
CALL THEM, GREG?
U-TURNS WHEN THEY GET THE CARS.
>> Dana: THEY SPIN THEM AROUND.
>> Greg: I LOVE YOU THINK I
WOULD KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT, I
ACTUALLY DON’T.
>> Jeanine: THERE IS A NEW CRIME
THAT OUTLAWS IT AND IT IS TIME
TO PUT KIDS IN JAIL.
>> Dana: JESSICA, FEEL FREE TO
YOU CAN TA-ABOUT WHATEVER YOU
WANT, BUT I NOTICED THIS
MORNING, EACH WITNESS IN NEW
YORK GAVE OPENING STATEMENT,
THEY SAID I DON’T CARE WHAT YOUR
POLITICS ARE, THIS IS WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN THE CITY.
JOSE ALBASAID, I’M NOT A
REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT, I’M HERE
BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND
HE IS WORRIED IT WILL HAPPEN TO
OTHER PEOPLE.
>> Jessica: REMEMBER THE WOMAN
WHO HAD THE BABY CARRIAGE HIT,
SHE WAS A LIBERAL.
SHE SAID NOTHING TO DO WITH
POLITICS, THEY TRIED TO KILL MY
KID AND ME, TOO, AND THAT IS HOW
PEOPLE FEEL.
FEW ISSUES TRANSCEND POLITICS
AND CRIME HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF
THEM.
>> Greg: YOU SAID --
>> Jessica: I THINK IT DOES, THE
APPROACH TO HOW PARTIES DEAL
WITH IT AND TALK ABOUT PEOPLE
AND WHO THEY ARE TRYING TO
DEMONIZE ARE SO STARK THAT YOU
DO END UP LOOKING AT THEM
DIFFERENTLY.
TO THE POINT THIS WAS A SHOW
TRIAL THIS MORNING, I WAS HAPPY
THE ENTIRE COHORT OF DEMOCRATS
SHOWED UP TO DO THIS.
>> Dana: THEY HAVEN’T TO OTHERS.
>> Jessica: THEY HAVEN’T TO
OTHERS.
THEY POINTED OUT THE FACT THAT
JIM JORDAN REPRESENTS SOMEWHERE
THE CRIME RATES ARE HIGHER THAN
NEW YORK CITY, KEVIN McCARTHY,
BAKERSFIELD, MORE CHANCE OF
BEING A VICTIM IF YOU LIVE THERE
THAN IN NEW YORK CITY. THEY SHOULD HAVE MEETINGS IN
THEY SHOULD HAVE MEETINGS IN
MEMPHIS, ST. LOUIS, GO TO
TOLEDO.
ALABAMA, WHAT WENT ON WAS
HEARTWREFRP
HEARTWRENCHING.
>> Jeanine: THE SWEET 16 PARTY.
>> Jessica: OR HONOR ROLL KID
THAT GETS SHOT IN THE HEAD.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NEW YORK CITY.
THEY TURNED IT INTO THAT BECAUSE
OF ALVIN BRAGG.
THEY WANTED TO SHOW CRUELTY TO
DONALD TRUMP AT THIS MOMENT, HE
IS SAYING ALVIN BRAGG IS COMING
FOR HIM.
IF THEY CARED ABOUT CRIME, THEY
WOULD SHOW UP IN A CITY WHERE
CRIME IS WORSE THAN HERE.
>> Dana: THIS IS FIRST OF MANY
HEARINGS.
>> Jessica: I’M SURE THEY WILL
BE IN JIM JORDAN’S HOMETOWN
NEXT.
>> THEY THOUGHT NEXT STOP WOULD
BE CHICAGO.
TALK ABOUT THE COMPARISON OF
CRIME AS COMPARED TO CHOICE TO
BOOK, INDICT AND GO AFTER A
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR
BOOKKEEPING, WE WON’T CALL IT
ERROR, BOOKKEEPING VIOLATION, IT
SHOWS PERVERTED SENSE OF
PRIORITY IN NEW YORK.
HERE IS THE THING, YOU CAN’T
STOP AN ACT IF YOU CAN’T
DESCRIBE AN ACT.
GREG, I SAW THE SAME THING YOU
DID IN THAT, MY FOCUS ON THE
CHOICE OF WORDS.
LORI LIGHTFOOT SAID I WOULDN’T
CHOOSE TO CALL IT MAYHEM.
GLAD YOU HAVE TAKEN THAT MORAL
STANCE, HOW ABOUT MAYOR ELECT
BRANDON JOHNSON SAID LISTEN TO
THIS SINISTER CHOICE OF WORDS,
HOW ABOUT LOOTING CORPORATIONS
TAXING IN SEARCH TO TURN A
PROFIT.
CORPORATION THAT WANTS TO TURN A
PROFIT AMOUNTS TO LOOTING.
INABILITY TO DESCRIBE AN ACT AND
JUDGE, THE POINT IS TO CHANGE
PERCEPTION IN OUR MINDS AND
CITIZEN MINDS SO WE CAN NO
LONGER UNDERSTAND REALITY.
WHEN YOU ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF
WHAT YOU SAW IN CHICAGO OR LIVE
IN NEW YORK, REALITY IS
UNESCAPABLE.
>> Dana: ON THE HEARING TODAY IN
NEW YORK, WHAT IS THE FEDERAL
TAXPAYER NEXUS, A LOT OF MONEY
GOES TO -- FEDERAL TAXPAYERS
PAY, YOU AND ME, THAT IS NEXUS
THERE AND I HEARD TODAY THERES A
GUY IN CHICAGO SAYING IT IS
WALMART’S FAULT BECAUSE THAT IS
WHY THEY HAVE FOOD DESERT
BECAUSE WALMART IS TRYING TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE PEOPLE.
