STEVE: NEW YORK CITY REELING
FROM ANOTHER VIOLENT WEEKEND.
AN ONCOLOGY NURSE IS DEAD AFTER
BEING KNOCKED TO THE GROUND BY
APPARENTLY A HOMELESS MUGGER
MANY TIMES SQUARE.
"THE NEW YORK POST" IN THEIR
OP-ED PAGE BLAMING CITY LEADERS
FOR HER DEATH AND DEMANDING AN
INTO THEIR SOFT ON CRIME
POLICIES SAYING, QUOTE: ENOUGH.
EVERY DAY OF THEIR ADDED DELAY
UPS THE ODDS OF ANOTHER TRAGEDY.
THE STATE’S DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR
CEASE HER PLAN FOR CRIMINAL
JUSTICE THE REFORM BACKFIRING AS
AT LEAST NINE RIKER’S ISLAND
INMATES ARE REPORTEDLY BACK
BEHIND BARS JUST WEEKS AFTER
BEING RELEASED.
HERE TO REACT, FORMER POLICE
OFFICER AND UNFILTERED HOST DAN
BONGINO.
GOOD MORNING.
>> HEY, GOOD MORNING, STEVE.
STEVE: TIMES SQUARE MURDER.
THE PROBLEM IS, AND THEY ADDRESS
THIS IN THE OP-ED PAGE OF THE
NEW YORK POST, THERE ARE 12,000
MENTALLY ILL HOMELESS PEOPLE ON
THE STREETS OF NEW YORK CITY,
AND THIS APPARENTLY WAS ONE OF
THEM.
>> YEAH.
A COUPLE POINTS, STEVE.
YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU’VE BEEN
COVERING DYLAN HARRISON ALL
MORNING, HE WAS THE OFFICER WHO
WAS SHOT IN GEORGIA.
IT WAS HIS FIRST DAY ON THE JOB
WITH THAT POLICE DEPARTMENT.
AND I’M JUST THINKING OF MY
PARIS DAY ON THE JOB WITH THE --
FIRST DAY ON THE JOB AS A POLICE
OFFICER IN EAST NEW YORK,
BROOKLYN, HOW OVERWHELMING IT
IS.
YOU’RE MEETING EVERYONE, YOU
KNOW, GET TO KNOW PEOPLE,
GETTING TO KNOW THE STREETS, AND
THEN YOU WALK OUTSIDE AND THEN
YOU’RE DEAD BECAUSE SOME, YOU
KNOW, ANIMAL JUST DECIDES THAT
IT’S GOING TO BE YOUR LAST DAY
ON EARTH.
I MEAN, I THINK WE SHOULD ALL
KEEP THAT IN MIND.
THANKFULLY, THAT’S NOT OUR JOBS
NOW, RIGHT?
WE DON’T WORRY ABOUT THAT RISK
EVERY DAY, BUT POLICE OFFICERS
DO.
IT’S JUST SUCH A SAD DAY.
ON THE TOPIC YOU ASKED ABOUT,
WHAT’S SO DISTURBING ABOUT THIS
DANGEROUS CLIMATE FOR POLICE
OFFICERS AND OBVIOUSLY CITIZENS
IN GENERAL IS THAT THE LEFT
KNOWS WHAT WORKS, STEVE.
THAT’S WHAT TROUBLES ME SO MUCH.
IT’S, LIKE, HOW ARE THEY SO BAD
AT THIS WHEN IT COMES TO
ANYTHING, THE ECONOMY, PUBLIC
SAFETY?
AND THE ANSWER IS, THEY AREN’T.
THEY’RE NOT STUPID.
THEY’RE DOING THIS DELIBERATELY.
I MEAN, I LIVED THROUGH THE
REJUVENATION OF NEW YORK CITY.
AS DID, LISTEN, YOU WERE WORKING
IN NEW YORK.
YOU’VE BEEN WITH FOX SINCE THE
BEGINNING.
YOU SAW IT.
THEY KNOW WHAT WORKS; BROKEN
WINDOWS STYLE POLICING, THE
ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.
AND THEY’RE NOT DOING IT WHICH
BEGS THE TRAGIC, DISTURBING
QUESTION, WHY?
IS THIS ON PURPOSE?
THESE AREN’T STUPID PEOPLE.
STEVE: WELL, YOU ANSWER THE
QUESTION, WHY IS IT?
BECAUSE PEOPLE -- I DRIVE
THROUGH TIMES SQUARE TWICE A
DAY, AND IT IS THE LIKE THE
BRIGHTEST SPOT ILLUMINATED IN
NEW YORK CITY.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
BUT IT’S ALSO ONE OF THE MOST
DANGEROUS.
I MEAN, THIS GUY BEFORE HE
BUMPED -- RAMMED INTO HER, SHE
HIT HER HEAD AND SHE WOUND UP
DYING, THIS GUY HAD APPARENTLY
GONE INTO A TOTAL STRANGER’S
APARTMENT DOWN STREET FROM WHERE
WE ARE.
THE WOMAN SAID HE SAT ON HER
COUCH SCREAMING I’M AN AFRICAN
PRINCE BEFORE HE RUMMAGED
THROUGH HER STUFF, FOUND $15,
THEN RAN TO TIMES SQUARE WHERE
HE KILLED THIS WOMAN.
>> YEAH.
YEAH, I MEAN, WHY?
I MEAN, THERE’S TWO REAL REASONS
ARE, RIGHT?
THE BIGGER IDEOLOGICAL REASON,
THE RADICAL LEFT LOVES CHAOS.
THE ONLY WAY TO GET PEOPLE TO
FORFEIT THEIR CIVIL LIBERTIES IS
TO GET THEM SCARED.
BUT THE SMALLER REASON WHY THEY
DON’T TREAT HOMELESS PEOPLE AND
ALLOW CRIMINALITY TO RUN WILD IS
BECAUSE OF THE FIRST REASON.
THE RAD LEFT LOVES IT -- RADICAL
LEFT LOVES IT.
YOU DON’T HAVE ANYONE WILLING TO
STAND UP AND SAY, NO, MY
RESPONDENT’S TO --
RESPONSIBILITY’S TO TAKE CARE OF
MY CITIZENS.
IT’S THE MOST TRAGIC STORY OF
OUR TIME, IT REALLY IS.
STEVE ABSOLUTELY.
YOU KNOW, PEOPLE FEEL SCAREDDED
THEY’RE GOING TO BE HOLDING THE
PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE, RESPONSIBLE.
>> WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
STEVE: DAN, THANKS VERY MUCH.
