>> THE RISING CRIME IN
DEMOCRAT-LED NEW YORK CITY HAS
GOTTEN SO BAD, A TEENAGER WAS
SHOT WHILE DOING HER HOMEWORK.
THE 15-YEAR-OLD WAS SHOT IN THE
LEG WHILE STUDYING INSIDE HER
HOME IN QUEENS WHEN A STRAY
BULLET WHIZZED THROUGH HER FRONT
DOOR.
SHE TOLD THE NEW YORK POST SHE
WAS NOT EVEN SHOCKED THAT SHE
BECAME A VICTIM OF THAT CITY’S
SOARING CRIME RATE.
JUST THIS WEEK, WE HAVE SEEN
HORRIFIC VIDEO OF A MAN OPENED
FIRE ON A BROKEN STREET IN BROAD
DAYLIGHT.
VIDEO OF A WOMAN VIOLENTLY
PUSHED ONTO SUBWAY TRACKS.
AND THIS EXTREMELY HARD TO WATCH
VIDEO OF A MEN’S SOCCER PUNCHED
SO HARD HE LATER DIED.
MAYOR ERIC ADAMS WAS PARTING
WITH CELEBS AT THE TRIBECA FILM
FESTIVAL ON WEDNESDAY.
PROBABLY NOT A GOOD LOOK.
WHEN CRITICS BLASTED THE MAYOR
FOR SETTING AS MUCH TOWN ANYTIME
AS GOVERNING IT.
KAYLEE, YOUR THOUGHTS.
>> Kayleigh: ERIC ADAMS, AT ONE
OF THE THINGS HE SAID, WHEN A MA
HAS SWAGGER, THE CITY HAS
SWAGGER.
IT DOES NOT FEEL LIKE NEW YORK
CITY HAS SWAGGER.
THE NEW YORK POST PUT OUT A
POLL.
52% NEW YORKERS THINK ADAMS HAS
A STYLE THINK 29% APPROVE OF HIS
JOB PERFORMANCE.
I CAN’T EVEN SAY THIS WITH A
STRAIGHT FACE.
THEY SAY HE IS AN IMPROVEMENT
OVER de BLASIO KECK ALL OF
THIS HAPPENS.
THOSE EGREGIOUS IMAGES WHILE IN
A LATE WAS PARTING WITH PARIS
HILTON AND WE ARE TOLD THE
NIGHTLIFE MAYOR WHO SPENDS AS
MUCH TIME PARTING AS GOVERNING
GOT OFF A FLIGHT FROM DC AND
WENT TO AN INTIMATE AFTER PARTY
FOR JENNIFER LOPEZ’S NEW MOVIE.
I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE STYLE.
THE LEADERSHIP IS SORELY LACKING
LACKING.
>> WHY DO THEY CARE ABOUT
SWAGGER WHEN PEOPLE ARE DYING?
MIDDLE AGED WOMEN ARE BEING
SHOVED INTO SUBWAY TRACKS AND
TEENAGERS GETTING SHOT WHILE
STUDYING INSIDE OF THEIR HOME?
WE DON’T NEED SWAGGER.
>> THE NEWARK CITY RESIDENTS
WERE DYING TO GET de BLASIO
OUT.
AND THE NYPD CANNOT WAIT TO SEE
THAT LOSER OUT OF OFFICE..
AND WE HAVE ERIC ADAMS WHO IS
GOING AND HANGING OUT WITH J.LO
WHEN HE SHOULD BE GOING TO THE
SUBWAYS WHERE WE HAVE THE
HIGHEST CRIME IN DECADES.
THAT SUBWAY IS LITERALLY JUST A
HOMELESS SHELTER FOR A CRIME.
THAT IS WHAT IT IS.
NOT ONCE HAVE WE SEEN HIM GO
DOWN AND TRY TO RESOLVE WORK
WITH THE CRIME.
J.LO IS NOT RIDING THE SUBWAY
THINK SHE IS NOT RIDING THE
SUBWAYS.
THIS IS WHERE YOU BELONG.
IRONICALLY, I WAS AT A BLACK TIE
EVENT A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
WE WERE AT THE -- AND GUESS WHO
WAS THERE?
ERIC ADAMS.
WHO ELSE WAS THERE?
de BLASIO.
I DID NOT GO OVER AND SHAKE HIS
HAND.
I DID WANT TO TRIP HIM.
>> JASON, THIS HORRIBLE TREND IS
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
WE HAVE SEEN SAN FRANCISCANS
STEPPED UP WITH THEIR VOTE.
BUT THE REALITY IS A LOT OF
DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE THERE ARE
PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN KILLED.
THERE ARE CRIMES THAT HAVE BEEN
ON PROSECUTED INCLUDING WE HAVE
SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING
ABOUT THE WALGREENS THAT CLOSED.
THE BBSS THAT CLOSED.
SO IN A WAY, YOU CAN SEE THIS
MIGHT BE TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.
THE REALITY IS THAT IT IS IN THE
STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY
COUNTRY.
>> Jason: IT IS AN HONOR AND
PRIVILEGE TO SERVE AND YOU HAVE
ONE OF THE WORST MAYORS.
NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.
WHEN YOU COME INTO YOU GOT TO
SET THE TONE AND YOU GOT TO SET
THE PRIORITIES.
PRODUCTS AND PARTYING AND GOING
OUT WITH CELEBRITIES SHOULD NOT
BE ON YOUR TOP 20 LIST.
YOU SHOULD BE OUT THERE.
YOU GOT TO SUPPORT THE COPS.
YOU GOT TO HIRE THE COPS.
YOU HAVE TO GO TO THEIR
FUNERALS.
YOU NEED TO HIRE THEM BECAUSE
THEY LOST S MANY AMONG THE WAY
AND WHEN THE ACTUALLY APPREHENDS
SOMEBODY, THEY GOT TO PROSECUTE
THEM.
THEY GOT TO PUT THEM IN JAIL.
YOU COMMIT A CRIME, YOU ARE
GOING TO DO THE TIME BECAUSE WE
ARE GOING TO HUNT YOU DOWN AND
WE WILL PUT YOU IN THAT JAIL.
THAT IS NOT THE MESSAGE THAT
ANYBODY -- THAT IS BEING
CONVEYED OUT OF THE COMFORT YOU
WANT THE PERSON WHO IS A GOOD
LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN DOWN THE
STREET AND NOT HAVE TO THINK
TWICE ABOUT IT.
YOU WANT THAT 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL
POINTED SCHOOL TO FEEL LIKE IT
IS A SAFE PLACE.
ADAMS IS TURNING OUT TO BE A
TOTAL DISASTER.
>> I’M SICILIAN.
THEY WROTE ABOUT THE ISLAND OF
SICILY THAT IN TWO YEARS, THE
GOVERNMENT SUCCEEDED IN
ESSENTIALLY BRINGING THE ISLAND
TO RUIN THEY DID IN HISTORIC
TIMES WHAT SENTRIES OF INVADERS
COULD NOT.
UNABLE TO PULL BACK FROM THAT
POINT AND WHAT WORRIES ME ABOUT
THE CURRENT SITUATION IS IN A
REALLY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, IT
SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE HIT A ROCK
BOTTOM WITH CRIME AND ALL OF THE
CITIES.
RIGHT?
I WORRY HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE US
TO RECOVER FROM WHAT HAPPEN SO
QUICKLY.
>> I CERTAINLY DO, TOO.
WE CAN’T MOVE.
AND I WAS LIKE, I’M GOING TO
GROW UP AND LIVE IN NEW YORK.
NOW I’M LIKE, I IT HERE.
IT IS BECAUSE OF THIS.
I WAS SOMEONE WHO IS VERY
EXCITED WHEN WE WERE HAVING
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT CRIMINAL
JUSTICE REFORM.
AND I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW BADLY
THEY HAVE MESSED IT UP AND IT
HAS BEEN IN TWO WAYS I THINK ONE
OF THE WAYS IS BY EQUATING
NONVIOLENT WITH VICTIMLESS.
SOMETHING LIKE A PROPERTY CRIME,
THERE IS A VICTIM THERE.
THE OTHER THINGS WHICH REALLY
BLOWS MY MIND IS LENIENCY FOR
PEOPLE WHO DO COMMIT VIOLENT
CRIMES.
I MEAN, TREATING ARMED ROBBERY
AS IF IT IS A MISDEMEANOR, I’M
SORRY, BUT ARMED ROBBERY IS A
VERY SERIOUS THING AND YOU
SHOULD BE GOING TO JAIL FOR
ARMED ROBBERY.
THESE ARE NOT THE PEOPLE WE
SHOULD BE HAVING COMPASSION
FOUR.
VIOLENT CRIMINALS AND AS LONG AS
WE CONTINUE TO DO THAT, THINGS
ARE GOING TO GET WORSE AND WE
CAN’T MOVE.
>> I AGREE WITH YOU.
I THINK THIS SITUATION HAS
SETBACK --
