>> MAYOR ERIC ADAMS SAYS
LIBERALS MAKING THE LAWS HAVE
LOST THEIR MINDS.
>> THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY IS
TO DO THE SAME THING REPEATEDLY
>> DIFFERENT RESULTS.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IS
INSANE.
IT IS DANGEROUS.
IT IS HARMFUL.
AND IT IS DESTROYING THE FABRIC
OF OUR SISTER CITY.
>> D.A. ALVIN BRAGG IS PUSHING
BACK SAYING HE IS PROUD OF WHAT
THE CITY IS DOING AND THE
80-YEAR-OLD CALIFORNIA LIQUOR
STORE OWNER WHO WAS FORCED TO
DEFEND HIMSELF WHEN AN ARMED
ROBBER BARGED INTO HIS STORE
CALLING OUT LEADERS FOR MAKING
THINGS AND SAFE.
UP A WHAT HE TOLD --
>> IT IS NOT MY JOB.
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING
NOW BECAUSE WE ARE JUST GETTING
DOWNHILL FASTER AND FASTER AND
IT IS CERTAINLY A CONCERN NOT
JUST FOR ME BUT I HEAR IT ALL
THE TIME FOR MY CUSTOMER BASE
AND EVERYONE THAT UNEXPOSED TO.
THEY ARE FED UP AND I CAN’T
BLAME THEM.
>> THANK GOD THAT HE RECOVERED
FROM HIS HEART ATTACK THAT HE
SUFFERED AFTER THAT ATTEMPTED
ROBBERY.
>> Greg: AND HE WAS IN WORK THE
NEXT DAY AND HE HAS BETTER HEAD
AND YOU.
[LAUGHTER]
HERE IS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN NEW
YORK.
WE USED TO REMEMBER -- DEMOCRAT
TO REPUBLICAN MAYOR.
WE START HAVE A REPUBLICAN
SENATOR, GOVERNOR, WE HAD CHECKS
AGAINST DEMOCRATIC CRAZINESS.
BUT NOW THERE’S NO CHECKS.
THIS IS IS WHAT HAPPENS
REPUBLIQUE USUALLY WALL STREET
WITH A STEP IN WHEN THINGS GOT
CRAZY AND SAY, HEY, GUYS, TRY TO
THE ABNORMAL.
AFTER COVID TOOK ALL THE
POWERBROKERS THAT IS TO RAN
THESE BANKS ON WALL STREET, THEY
JUST LEFT.
THEY WENT TO CONNECTICUT OR
FLORIDA OR -- SO THEY ARE NOT
LIVING OR WORKING IN THE CITY
ANYMORE.
THEY HAVE NO PERSONAL INVESTMENT
IN NEW YORK CITY.
THAT IS WHY THEY ARE NOT
GREASING THE GOVERNOR.
THAT IS WHITE THEY ARE NOT
SPENDING MONEY ON LOBBYISTS.
DOES NOT TAKE A LOT OF MONEY TO
KNOCK THESE BAIL REFORM LAWS
DOWN.
THAT MAKE LIKE 100 GRAND EIGHT
YEAR.
YOU GIVE THEM A COUPLE OF
DOLLARS, WHATEVER YOU WANT BUT
NO ONE IS DOING THAT, THOUGH.
ALL RIGHT?
THEY HAVE TOTALLY CHECKED OUT.
ALSO, AFTER THE GEORGE FLOYD
RIOTS, EVERYONE GOT REALLY
SCARED OF BEING LABELED A
RACIST.
REMEMBER?
BLACK LIVES MATTER.
IT WOULDN’T PUT THE BLACK THING
ON THEIR INSTAGRAM.
THEY WERE EVEN PILLAGED AND
ROBBED AND THE RELUCTANT YES,
BLACK LIVES MATTER.
WE TOTALLY SUPPORT THESE RIOTS.
THEY DID NOT WANT TO BE CALLED
RACISTS.
SOME -- TRY TO LOBBY THE STUPID
GOVERNOR, FOCAL.
I HATE SAYING THE NAME.
REVERSED THE BELT THING.
THEY WOULD BE SMEARED AS RACIST
AND THEY DON’T WANT THAT BRAND
HIT AND THAT IS WHY THEY ARE
JUST LAYING LOW AND LETTING THIS
WHOLE CITY DECAY.
>> THAT IS RIGHT.
HE WILL BE GONE SOON.
HAROLD, WHEN JESSE MENTIONS
CHECKS ON THE SYSTEMS, THE
DIFFERENT POSITIONS WITHIN THE
SYSTEM ACT AS CHECKS THEMSELVES
AND WITH THINK THE PROSECUTOR,
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY WOULD BE
THAT, REPRESENTING THE STATE,
PROSECUTING CRIMES.
THEY ARE IN FLORIDA.
GOVERNOR DeSANTIS TOOK ACTION
WHEN HIS STATE D.A. ANDREW
GORTON REFUSE TO PROSECUTE LAWS
TO KEEP REMOVED HIM FOR
INCOMPETENCE.
HE SAID THAT THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN POSITIVE DUAL DISCRETION
AND JUST INDIVIDUALIZED AND
CASE-BY-CASE AND SOMEONE JUST
FLAT OUT ADVOCATING THEIR DUTY.
YOU THINK WE ARE GOING TO SEE
MORE OF THIS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
AS PEOPLE WAKE UP TO THE FACT
THAT -- THESE D.A.s ARE NOT
DOING THEIR JOB?
>> Congressman Ford: I DON’T
KNOW ALL THE DETAILS IN FLORIDA
BUT GOVERNOR DeSANTIS HAD THE
AUTHORITY AND GOVERNORS WHO HAVE
THAT AUTHORITY SHOULD EXERCISE
THAT WHEN IT ADVANCES.
SAFETY.
ONLY DIFFERENCE I HAVE ABOUT
THAT WE SOMETIMES TALK ABOUT
DEMOCRATS AND LIBERALS BUT EVEN
BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA, WHERE
KEVIN McCARTHY REPRESENTS THAT
THEY HAVE TO TIMES THE MERGER
RIGHT THERE THEN THEY HAVE IN
LOS ANGELES.
MOBILE, ALABAMA, ALL HAVE
REPUBLICAN MAYORS.
WE SHOULD NOT TALK ABOUT IT THAT
WAY.
WHAT YOU ARE TALK ABOUT IT,
EMILY, I AGREE WITH AND AWAITS
JESSE, I THINK THE CRUST OF WHAT
JESSE SAID, I AGREE WITH
WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
I THINK VOTERS HAVE TO GO TO THE
POLLS AND VOTE FOR PEOPLE WHO
ARE GOING TO STAND UP TO THE
CRIMINALS.
MAYOR OF THIS TOWN HAS BEEN AS
OUTSPOKEN, OPINIONATED, AND FIRM
ON THIS ISSUE OF SINK WE WANT
POLICE OFFICERS ON THE STREET
BUT WE WANT POLICE OFFICERS AND
WE HAVE TO REFORM THESE BAIL
LAWS.
IF WE JUST DO ONE THING, REFORM
THE BAIL LAWS, NEW YORK POST,
TALKING ABOUT THOSE FEW
CRIMINALS, AMID ALL THESE CRIMES
BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN,
BEHIND BARS.
I GET WHY WE WANT TO REFORM THE
BAIL LAWS.
ENSURING THAT WE -- THAT WE DID
NOT PICK PEOPLE IN JAIL WHO HAD
SMALL AMOUNTS OF THINGS.
WE HAVE A PROBLEM WHERE WE ARE
LETTING PEOPLE OUT OF JAIL WHO
COMMITTED VIOLENT EXPERT NO
AMERICAN WANTS THIS.
SO I HOPE WE STOP TALKING ABOUT
BLUE AND RED AND START TALKING
ABOUT HOW WE ENSURE AND GET GOOD
PROSECUTORS WITH -- WE STAFF THE
POLICE LIKE THEY SHOULD BE
STAFFED AND THEY WILL GET A RUDE
AWAKENING AT THE POLLS IF THEY
DON’T WANT TO DO THAT.
>> Jessica: --
>> Emily: THE FIRST IDENTITY OF
THAT ATTORNEY GENERAL IN FLORIDA
FLORIDA, CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM
OR.
THESE GUYS ARE HIDING BEHIND
THAT QUOTE AND TOTALLY FAILING
AT THEIR DUTY BECAUSE THEY ARE
NOT MAKING THAT THE STATION
BETWEEN THE VIOLENCE AND
NONVIOLENCE.
>> THERE IS NO COMMON SENSE
FORM.
>> Greg: I AGREE WITH HAROLD BUT
THE PROBLEM IS THIS IS A
ONE-PARTY TOWN.
SO WE DON’T HAVE THAT.
YOU GOT TO HAVE BLUE AND RED
BECAUSE GREGG WILL HELP THE BLUE
AND BLUE WILL HELP THE REDS.
BUT IF YOU JUST HAVE A ONE PARTY
RULE, IF THERE ARE TO SLOW THE
TRUCK DOWN AS IT IS HEADING
TOWARDS THE CLIFF.
YOU CAN GET THESE REALLY ARE
THERE REFORMERS AND THESE DOCENT
THERE’S NOBODY THERE TO STOP
THEM.
WHY DO THEY CONTINUE ROBBING AND
AFTER THEY KEEP GETTING
ARRESTED, I REALIZE FOR THESE
THIEVES, AVERAGE LIKE 50 TO 70
ARRESTS.
BUT IT IS LIKE, THEIR BUSINESS
TRAVELERS AND THAT IS THEIR TSA.
IT IS A HASSLE.
I’M GOING TO GO OUT AND ROB
TODAY.
YEAH.
YOU GOT ME.
IF YOU START EMPTYING YOUR STUFF
OUT.
AND IN THE COP SAYS THAT YOU CAN
GO NOW AND THEN YOU GO ON AND --
THAT IS WHAT IT IS.
IT COMES WITH THE DEAL BUT I
THINK I GO TO THAT ADVICE THAT I
MENTIONED.
I THINK IT WAS LAST WEEK AND I
STILL BELIEVE, FUND HALFWAY
HOUSES ON THE BLOCKS WHERE THE
D.A.s LIKE ALVIN BRAGG LIVE.
GREAT FACILITIES FOR HOUSE
ARREST AND PUT THEM IN GOVERNOR
HOCHUL’S NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND NYC HAS BECOME A SANCTUARY
CITY SO THEY NEED TO DO WITH THE
BORDER STATES IT TO SEE WHICH IS
PUT IT ON THEIR DOORSTEP LIKE A
FLAMING BAG OF POOP.
THERE ARE A LOT OF DEMOCRATS IN
THE STATE.
>> AN IN THAT REPORT, IT
INCLUDED THE LEFT THINK THIS IS
CHERRY-PICKING STATISTICS.
HOW CAN YOU ARGUE WITH THAT
STATISTIC?
POLICE AMBUSHES UP.
THOSE STATISTICS DO NOT LIVE.
>> I WOKE UP A WEEK ALONE TO A
GUNFIGHT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD
WHERE THE POLICE WERE -- TWO
ROBBERY SUSPECT FIRING ON POLICE
AND THEY EXCHANGED GUNFIRE.
AND THERE WAS A PSYCHOTIC
VIOLENT MAN WHO ATTACKED COAT --
ONE AFTER A BOUNCER WHEN I WAS
HAVING SOME BEERS AND THE
BOUNCER KNOCKED HIM OUT COLD.
AND ALL THE PATRONS HAD BEERS
AND FRIES JUST SAT THERE AND
WATCH HIM LAY BLEEDING INDUSTRY
AND NO ONE WAS GOING TO GO NEAR
HIM BECAUSE HE IS A PSYCHOTIC
DANGEROUS CRIMINAL.
COPS EVENTUALLY SHOWED UP BUT
THAT WAS IN ONE DAY.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
THAT.
AND JUST IN NEW YORK I WAS
TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO WORKED IN
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE
UNDER [INDISTINCT].
AND HE SAID, BASICALLY SAID,
EVERYTHING IN THE SYSTEM RIGHT
NOW IS STACKED IN FAVOR OF THE
CRIMINAL.
AND EVEN IF YOU REFORM THE BAIL
LAWS WHERE YOU HAVE CRIMINALS,
GET HELD ON BAIL RATHER THAN
TAKE A LOOK AT YOU GET CAUGHT
WITH -- SUSPECTED MURDERER, YOU
ARE RIGHT BACK ON THE STREET.
EVEN IF YOU REFORM THE BAIL
LAWS.
IN NEW YORK CITY, THE CRIMINAL
JUDGES THAT ARE APPOINTED UP TO
10-YEAR TERM BY THE MAYOR.
SO WE HAVE EIGHT YEARS OF BILL
de BLASIO AND WE HAVE AN ENTIRE
STABLE OF CRIMINAL COURT JUDGES
AND THEY ARE THE -- THEY MAKE
THE KIND OF MOST DAY-TO-DAY BAIL
DECISIONS.
SO YOU HAVE THIS -- AS THIS
GENTLEMAN 20 AFTER EIGHT YEARS
OF de BLASIO PURNELL COURT
JUDGES, A CHANGE IN THE BAIL LAW
WON’T IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF THE
JUST -- JUDGES.
AND NOT MAKE A RESPITE ALL THESE
ASSISTANT D.A.s ARE LEAVING
BECAUSE THERE’S NOBODY TO
PROSECUTE.
THEY ARE NOT ARRESTING PEOPLE.
AGAIN, A LIBERAL LAYER CAKE OF
HORRIBLE.
IT IS BY. AND I KNOW WE HAVE TO GO.
AND I KNOW WE HAVE TO GO.
BUT THESE ASSES NEED TO GET THE
HELL OUT OF NEW YORK.
NO MORE COCKTAIL PARTIES.
TAKE YOUR JOBS ELSEWHERE.
THEN THESE LIBERALS WILL STAND
UP.
LIKE DANIELLE REED BECAUSE HE
WAS MURDERED ON A SUBWAY TRAIN.
WORD -- WHERE THE HELL IS
