MARIA: THIS NO CASH BAIL THING
IS NONSENSE.
IT IS NOT WORKING.
IF WE COULD LET THE CRIMINALS
OUT IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS OF
THOSE PEOPLE THAT CLAIM THAT NO
CASH BAIL IS RACIST, THEY WOULD
UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THEIR HOMES
WOULD BE BROKEN INTO.
THEIR BUSINESS IS BROKEN INTO.
THEY TALKED ABOUT DEFUNDING THE
POLICE.
IT DEMORALIZES OUR LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
>> THAT WAS VIRGINIA LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR ON THIS PROGRAM LAST
MONTH.
THE POLICIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
ONCE DUBBED AMERICA’S SAFEST BIG
CITY UNDER MAYOR RUDY GIULIANI.
CRIME UP 35% FROM ONE YEAR AGO.
THE BACKING OF BAIL REFORM IN
CASHLESS BAIL BY DEMOCRATS HAS
SEEN VIOLENT OFFENDERS RELEASED
BACK ONTO THE STREETS HOURS
AFTER ARREST.
KATHY, KATHY HOCHUL HAS DOUBLED
DOWN.
HER REPUBLICAN CHALLENGER IS
LOOKING TO UNSEAT HER THIS
NOVEMBER AND BRING LAW AND ORDER
BACK TO THE EMPIRE STATE.
JOINING ME NOW IS CONGRESSMAN
LEE ZELDIN.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
I HAVE YOUR OP-ED IN FRONT OF ME
NEW YORK’S RESOURCES ARE
OVERWHELMED, KATHY HOCHUL MUST
PUSH BIDEN TO SECURE THE BORDER.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE IMPACTED NEW
YORK?
>> YOU ARE HEARING FROM MAYOR
ERIC ADAMS ABOUT HOW THE SHELTER
SYSTEM IS BEING MORE OVERWHELMED
THAN EVER.
WE ARE READING STORIES ABOUT HOW
SOME OF THESE MIGRANTS ARE NOW
BEING PUT INTO HOTELS IN TIMES
SQUARE.
IT COSTS NOT JUST FROM THE
HOUSING STANDPOINT, BUT THE COST
ON THE HEALTHCARE STANDPOINT,
FROM THE EDUCATION STANDPOINT
AND THE CITY IS JUST STRAPPED
ALL ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY,
REALLY.
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE SPEAKING
OUT.
EVERY TIME YOU HEAR FROM A MAYOR
IN NEW YORK CITY OR THE GOVERNOR
FROM NEW YORK OR THE MAYOR FROM
WASHINGTON, D.C. OR CHICAGO,
THINK OF THESE BORDER
COMMUNITIES, THESE BORDER
STATES, THIS IS THEIR REALITY
ALL DAY EVERY DAY FOR A VERY
LONG TIME.
THEY NEED TO FINISH CONSTRUCTION
OF THE BORDER WALL, AND CATCH
AND RELEASE, IT NEEDS TO SUPPORT
CUSTOMS AND BORDER PATROL AGENTS
AND STOP REWARDING ILLEGAL
ENTRY.
THAT IS AT THE FEDERAL, STATE
AND LOCAL LEVEL.
>> AFTER 9/11, WE JUST MARK 21
YEARS AFTER 9/11 THE OTHER DAY,
BUT WE CAME UP WITH SOMETHING
CALLED THE TERRORIST WATCH LIST
AFTER SEPTEMBER 11 AND AMERICAN
SUFFERED ITS WORST ATTACK FROM
TERRORIST AND WHAT WE UNDERSTAND
ABOUT THIS DATA AND WATCH LIST,
UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND BUSH,
WE HAVE THREE OR FOUR TERRORIST
APPREHENDED AT THE SOUTHERN
BORDER, BUT UNDER JOE BIDEN IN
THIS WIDE-OPEN BORDER, WE HAVE
ALREADY HAD 66 PEOPLE
APPREHENDED AT THE SOUTHERN
BORDER WHO WERE ON THE TERRORIST
WATCH LIST.
NOW I BELIEVE WE ARE WATCHING 81
PEOPLE THAT WERE APPREHENDED ONE
WAY OR ANOTHER AT THE SOUTHERN
BORDER.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE
CRIME SPIKES?
IS IT RELATED TO THE WIDE-OPEN
BORDER?
>> IT ABSOLUTELY IS.
ADDITIONAL CRIMES, BEYOND
SOMEONE JUST COMING INTO THE
COUNTRY ILLEGALLY.
THAT IS THE REALITY RIGHT NOW.
IT IS BEING SOMEWHAT REPORTED.
YOU TALK ABOUT THE COST.
NOT JUST INDIVIDUALS THAT COME,
THAT THEY MAY BE BRINGING
FENTANYL, THE DRUG TRAFFICKING,
SEX TRAFFICKING.
THEY ARE ENGAGED IN SOME TYPE OF
SEX TRAFFICKING.
THE WAY THAT THESE GANGS ARE
FINANCING THEIR OPERATIONS ARE
OFTEN ENGAGED IN OTHER ILLEGAL
ACTIVITIES.
THE STRAIN IS ON THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT PERSPECTIVE, TO.
THE SOLUTION IS THAT OUR BORDER.
I FEEL BAD FOR THESE STATES THAT
FEEL THEY NEED TO OPERATE LIKE
THEY ARE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
APPLYING THEIR OWN TROOPS TO THE
BORDER.
AS FAR AS I.C.E. GOES, THEY WANT
TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH STATE
AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
IN NEW YORK THEY PASSED A NEW
LAW CALLED THE GREEN LIGHT LAW.
IT PREVENTS THE AUTHORITIES FROM
BEING ABLE TO LOOK INTO THE DMV
DATABASES.
INFORMATION SHARING IS KEY.
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO WORK
TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR
COUNTRY IS SAFE.
MARIA: SO WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT
IT?
YOU ARE STILL BEHIND KATHY
HOCHUL.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MAYOR OF
NEW YORK CITY AND THE LAST
ELECTION, THE SMALLEST EVER TO
COME OUT AND YET STILL WILL DE
BLASIO ONE.
HOW WILL YOU GET A LARGELY
DEMOCRAT POPULATION TO COME OUT
AND VOTE FOR YOU?
IF THEY DO, WHAT WILL YOU DO TO
CHANGE THINGS?
>> DEMOCRATS ARE SET UP WITHOUT
FEELING SAFE ON OUR STREETS.
I WAS RIGHT IN THE SUBWAY WITH A
GUY WHO IS JEWISH WHO TALKS
ABOUT HOW HE TAKES HIS LLAMA
CALL OFF WHEN HE RIDES THE
SUBWAY BECAUSE HE IS AFRAID OF
BEING ATTACKED.
THEY USED TO BE ABLE TO WALK THE
STREETS OF MANHATTAN, GO 15-20
BLOCKS ON A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS.
THEY CAN GO TWO BLOCKS AND THEY
ARE CALLING AND UBER.
HUGGING A POLE, GRABBING A GUARD
RAIL BECAUSE YOU’RE AFRAID OF
BEING PUSHED.
I HAVE AN ATTORNEY, HE IS GOING
TO BE FIRED.
PLAYING THAT CLIP TALKING ABOUT
CASHLESS BAIL.
WE HAVE SEEN CASHLESS BAIL AS A
FAILURE.
IT NEEDS TO BE REPEALED.
JUDGES NEED DISCRETION TO WEIGH
DANGEROUSNESS.
JUDGES REFUSING.
PEOPLE LESS SAFE AS A RESULT.
WE IN NEW YORK, REGARDLESS
REPUBLICAN, DEMOCRAT,
INDEPENDENT, RED COUNTY OR BLUE
COUNTY, WE ARE TAKING CONTROL OF
OUR DESTINY TO BE ABLE TO SAVE
THIS STATE.
TAKE BACK OUR STREETS.
BACK OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN WALL
ENFORCEMENT AGAIN.
THEY CAN STAY HERE AND NOT HAVE
TO GO ELSEWHERE FOR THEIR OWN
SAFETY AND FOR THEIR FAMILY AND
FOR THEIR FUTURE ON THE
ECONOMICS, FREEDOM AND MORE.
MARIA: IT IS AN ECONOMIC STORY.
YOU HAVE SEEN A LOT OF BIG
BUSINESSES FLEE.
WE ARE EXPECTING JOB CUTS.
BANK OF AMERICA, JPMORGAN.
WHAT DOES THE BUDGET LOOK LIKE?
IS IT JUST ABOUT CRIME OR IS IT
ALSO ABOUT OTHER ISSUES THAT ARE
CAUSING PEOPLE TO FLEE.
I KNOW YOU WANTED TO DEBATE
KATHY HOCHUL.
HAVE YOU GOTTEN AN ANSWER?
THE NEW YORK POST HAD A COVER
THE OTHER DAY SAYING SHE IS
PRETTY MUCH CHICKENING OUT.
>> SHE IS EARNING HER NECK NAME.
SHE HAS NOT YET ACCEPTED ANY OF
THESE DEBATE REQUESTS.
I HAVE ACCEPTED MULTIPLE THAT
HAVE COME IN OUT OF THE GATE.
THIS PROCESS FOR VOTERS IS
SOMETHING THAT VOTERS SHOULD
CERTAINLY NOT BE REWARDING HER
WITH HELPFUL FOR YEAR TERM.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH HER,
SHE ACTUALLY DECLARED I WAS NO
LONGER A NEW YORKER BECAUSE I
WAS CHALLENGING HER.
SHE DEMAND THAT I GET ON THE BUS
AND GO TO FLORIDA.
WE NEED TO REVERSE THE BAND.
APPROVED NEW PIPELINES.
WE SHOULD HAVE A STATE SPENDING
CAP.
WE HAVE SEEN TENS OF ALIENS OF
DOLLARS IN NEW ANNUAL SPENDING.
EVEN IF IT IS PAID FOR WITH THE
ONE-SHOT, ONE-PARTY RULE, THEY
LOOK AT IT AS THE NEW BASELINE.
THE ESTATE TAX SHOULD BE
ELIMINATED.
PEOPLE OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE, ALL
WALKS OF LIFE ARE BEING PUSHED
OUT OF THIS STATE.
>> THAT IS NOT WHAT JOE BIDEN IS
PLANNING.
HE IS PLANNING ON TAX INCREASES
IN THE COMING YEAR.
