SPEAK TO THOUSANDS OF MEN AND
WOMEN AND BLUE PAYING TRIBUTE
RIGHT NOW TO ALL AND NYPD
OFFICER WILBERT MORA AT
ST. PATRICK’S CATHEDRAL IN
NEW YORK CITY.
MAYOR ADAMS IS ABOUT TO SPEAK
ABOUT HEROISM AND BRAVERY.
A CITY STRUGGLES TO GET A GRIP
ON GUN VIOLENCE.
MARTHA, THIS IS THE HEADLINE.
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN NEEDS IT
NEW YORK CITY MAYOR TO SAVE HIM
GOING ON TO SAY THAT BIDEN IS
COMING TO NEW YORK TOMORROW
BECAUSE ADD-INS IS EMERGING AS
THE ANTIDOTE TO THE FAR LEFT
LURCH.
HE COULD LEND CREDIBILITY TO
BIDEN’S NEED TO BE SEEN ABOUT
DOING SOMETHING ON CRIME.
WE EXPECT THAT MAYOR ADAMS TO BE
THE FIRST SPEAKER AT THE FUNERAL
TODAY.
>> MY MIND GOES BACK TO THE TWO
OFFICERS WHO WERE KILLED SEVERAL
YEARS AGO AND WHEN THE FUNERAL
HAPPENED, THE OFFICERS WHO LINED
THEIR STREET TURNED THEIR BACKS
TO BILL de BLASIO BECAUSE THEY
WERE SO DISGUSTED WITH HOW HE
WAS TREATING THEM AND TALKING
ABOUT POLICE OFFICERS.
I WENT DOWN OUTSIDE OF
ST. PATRICK’S AND WALKED AROUND
WHERE ALL OF THE POLICE OFFICERS
ARE GATHERED AND THERE ARE
POLICE OFFICERS THERE FROM
PHILADELPHIA, UPSTATE NEW YORK,
NEW JERSEY.
ON MY WAY INTO WORK, THERE WERE
CARAVANS OF POLICE OFFICERS WITH
THEIR LIGHTS ON GOING BY US.
IT IS EXTRAORDINARY THE
OUTPOURING WE ARE SEEING FROM
THESE TWO YOUNG MEN.
I THINK BACK TO WHAT THE WIDOW
AND SAY THE OTHER DAY FROM THE
STEPS OF ST. PATRICK’S INSIDE
THAT CATHEDRAL CALLED OUT D.A.
AND SAID WE ARE NOT SAFE.
THERE IS A NOTION, AND I SEE IT
ALL OVER THE PLACE, THAT PEOPLE
ARE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THEY ARE
SAFE AND THEY DON’T FEEL IT.
POLITICALLY, IMAGINE WHAT IT
WOULD BE LIKE IF PRESENT BIDEN
WERE SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW
TODAY NEXT TO ERIC ADAMS.
THE GO TO EXCUSE IS THAT WE
DON’T WANT TO CREATE A
DISTRACTION.
I DON’T THINK SO.
I THINK IT WOULD BE RIGHT ON
TARGET FOR HIM TO SIT NEXT TO
THIS MAN WITH A FORMER
NEW YORK CITY POLICE OFFICER
HIMSELF.
THE EXPECTATIONS ARE SO I FOR
ERIC ADAMS RIGHT NOW.
HE REALLY NEEDS THE SUPPORT OF
THE STATE LEGISLATURES TO
OVERTURN THE BAIL REFORM LAWS
AND OVERTURN ANOTHER LAW THAT
DOES NOT ALLOW ANY MEANINGFUL
PROSECUTION UNDER THE AGE OF 18
AND BOY DID WE SEE A LOT OF
TEENAGERS STEALING CARS AND
CARJACKING.
>> Bill: TO THE POINT ABOUT
STATE LEGISLATORS.
TO TWIST ARMS TO GET LAWMAKERS
TO PAY ATTENTION AND DON’T ALLOW
ALL OF THIS LOW BAIL OR NO BAIL
STUFF TO CONTINUE.
SPEAK OF A STRONGER VISUAL FOR
TODAY WOULD TO BE IN THE FRONT
ROW NEXT TO MAYOR ADAMS.
BUT YOUR RIGHT TO POINT OUT THAT
THE GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK AND A
LITTLE SOMETHING FOR JOE BIDEN.
HE WAS SOMETHING THAT PUT THE
FINAL NAIL IN THE CUOMO COFFIN
AT THAT POINT.
SHE WAS ELEVATED TO BE THE
GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK STATE.
IT WOULD BE SO STRONG IF
PRESIDENT BIDEN WOULD SIT THERE
IN THE FRONT ROW AND MAKE THE
PHONE CALL THAT MICHAEL GOODWIN
SUGGESTED TO SAY THAT WE NEED TO
CHANGE THE NARRATIVE.
WE ARE ON THE LONG TO WRONG SIDE
OF THE NARRATIVE AND WE ARE
GOING TO LOSE A LOT OF SEATS.
>> Dana: THEY HAVE CATERED SO
MUCH TO THE LEFT ON THE ECONOMIC
SIDE OF THINGS AND THEY WILL
ALWAYS HAVE THE PRESIDENT BIDEN
NEVER SAID HE WAS FOUR DEFUND
THE POLICE.
FINE.
BUT YOU HAVE CORI BUSH WHO
TWEETED THAT THE NEW YORK POLICE
DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO GET
$10 BILLION TO BREAK THE LAW AND
GO AFTER LOW INCOME BLACK PEOPLE
PEOPLE.
IF THEY DON’T FIGURE OUT A WAY
TO SIT ON THE ARMS OF THE LEFT,
COMING TO NEW YORK WILL MATTER.
>> THE PRESIDENT HAS TYPICAL
LANE.
I SEE THE POLICE OFFICERS AND I
WAS THINKING THAT WALKING DOWN
THE STREET TODAY.
THEIR EYES LIGHT UP.
THANK YOU FOR RECOGNIZING THAT
WE ARE PUTTING OUR LIVES ON THE
LINE EVERY DAY.
ARE THERE BACKUPS?
YES.
ARE THERE BED ANYTHING?
TEACHERS, PRIESTS, EVERY SINGLE
ORGANIZATION HAS ELEMENTS THAT
NEED TO BE REMOVED.
LOOK AT THE CASKET OF THIS
27-YEAR-OLD OFFICER WHO WAS A
GOOD GUY.
A GOOD GUY WHO SACRIFICED
EVERYTHING INCLUDING HIS ORGANS
AFTER DEATH TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE
PEOPLE.
THE WHITE HOUSE NEEDS TO LOOK AT
THE SITUATION AND SAY HOW DO WE
FIND OUR LANE ON THIS ISSUE AND
HOW DO WE CREATE SAFETY IN OUR
CITIES BECAUSE THIS IS A MOMENT.
WHEN YOU SEAT ON THE STREET
TODAY, PEOPLE’S HEARTS ARE
BROKEN.
>> Bill: THE REASON WHY THIS
IS GETTING SO MUCH ATTENTION IS
BECAUSE THERE’S BODY CAM VIDEO
OF THESE EXECUTIONS.
THESE MEN WERE AMBUSHED AND
ASSASSINATED.
THE KILLER WAS DUMPING BULLETS
INTO THEIR BODIES AS THEY LAY
HELPLESS ON THE STREET.
>> THEY WERE RESPONDING TO A
CALL AND HARLEM TO THE MOTHER OF
THE SHOOTER.
THEY RAN TO HARLEM INTO A VERY
TOUGH NEIGHBORHOOD HELPLESS
