SEND IT BACK TO YOU, LIZ.
ELIZABETH: NATE FOY, THANK YOU
SO MUCH, WELCOME TO THE SHOW THE
VICE PRESIDENT OF THE FRATERNAL
ORDER OF POLICE JOE GAMALDI.
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION -- GOOD TO
SEE YOU, BY THE WAY.
THANKS FOR COMING ON.
>> ALWAYS GREAT TO BE HERE.
ELIZABETH: WHAT IS YOUR REACTION
TO THAT REPORT BECAUSE NEW YORK
CITY IS BELEAGURED BY A LOT OF
CRIME.
SHOULD TEXAS BE SENDING, MAKING
A STATEMENT TO SENDING BUS’S TO
DELAWARE INSTEAD, THE
PRESIDENT’S HOME STATE?
>> I THINK IT SPEAKS WHAT IS
REALLY GOING ON DOWN ON THE
BORDER WHERE IT IS A COMPLETE
DISASTER.
WE NEED TO SECURE OUR BORDER TO
STOP THE FLOW OF ILLEGAL
IMMIGRATION COMING ACROSS THE
BORDER RIGHT NOW.
TEXAS IS OVERWHELMED WITH A LOT
OF PEOPLE WHO COME HERE WITH NO
GOOD INTENTIONS AND COMMIT
CRIME.
THE GOVERNOR IS TRYING TO
MITIGATE THE BEST HE CAN, TRYING
TO SPREAD IT OUT TO EVERYBODY.
SOME OF THE AUTHORS IN
"NEW YORK TIMES" SHOULD OPEN UP
APARTMENTS AND HOUSES FOR THESE
FOLKS.
THEY MAKE SURE WE HAVE OPEN
BORDERS DESPITE THE FACT OF
RISKS COME ALONG WITH IT.
WE KNOW IT IS NOT JUST PEOPLE
COMING ACROSS THE BORDER, BUT
ALSO FENTANYL WHICH IS THE
LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH OF PEOPLE
18 TO 49 IN THIS COUNTRY.
ELIZABETH: MAYOR ADAMS WANTS TO
SEND NEW YORK CITY WORKERS IN
TEXAS TO KNOCK ON DOORS TO GET
RID OF GOVERNOR ABBOTT.
>> I LIVED IN TEXAS 15 YEARS.
I WAS A NEW YORKER BEFORE THAT.
I’M SURE TEX AN WILL NOT LISTEN
TO NEW YORKERS TELLING THEM HOW
TO VOTE.
THAT IS THE IDEA I GOT THERE. ELIZABETH: JOE, THIS SEPARATE
ELIZABETH: JOE, THIS SEPARATE
STORY, NEAR 11 HUNDRED NYPD COPS
QUITTING BEFORE GETTING THEIR
PULL PENSIONS?
THAT IS 71% JUMP FROM LAST YEAR.
THE NYPD IS HEMORRHAGING COPS.
WHAT IS THE DEAL BEFORE COPS GET
THEIR FULL PENSION?
>> WE’RE SEEING CRISIS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY BECAUSE SISTERS ARE
FED UP.
IN NEW YORK, UP 71%.
IN AUSTIN, RESIGNATIONS ARE UP
120%.
L.A. THEY’RE DOWN 630 OFFICERS.
PORTLAND, THE LOWEST STAFFING
LEVELS IN 30 YEARS, WITH THE
HIGHEST RECORDED MURDER RATE IN
HISTORY.
WONDER IF THOSE THINGS ARE
RELATED?
DO YOU BLAME THE COPS LEAVING?
TIRED OF BEING TREATED LIKE
CRAP, CURSED AT, SPIT ON, FAMILY
MEMBERS THREATENED.
WE’RE BEING SHOT AT HISTORIC
RATES.
WE HAD 210 POLICE OFFICERS SHOT
THIS YEAR AND DEPARTMENTS ARE
WORKING THEM TO THE BONE.
IN BOSTON WORKING 24 HOUR SHIFTS
WITH NO BREAKS BECAUSE THAT IS
SAFE.
YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU KNOW WHAT
REALLY BOTHERS POLICE OFFICERS
THE MOST, WHY THEY LEAVE?
BECAUSE AT ANY MOMENT, EVEN IF
THEY FOLLOW POLICY, TRAINING,
AND THE LAW, THEY WILL BE
ABSOLUTELY CRUCIFIED AND BURIED
IN THE PUBLIC, HAVE THEIR LIVES
RUINED ALL BECAUSE SOME
SPINELESS POLITICIAN WANTS TO
MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF THEM AND
WE’RE ALL SICK OF IT.
ELIZABETH: TO YOUR POINT,
LOOKING AT THE QUIT RATES,
NEARLY 2500 COPS ARE FILING TO
LEAVE THIS YEAR, THAT IS 42% UP
TOO.
THE NUMBERS ARE PRETTY
STAGGERING.
THEN YOU HAVE THIS,
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" GETTING
CRITICIZED, ONE OF THEIR WRITERS
SUGGESTED TO READERS THAT THEY
SHOULD BE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT, JUST
4% DROP IN MURDERS OVER THE PAST
YEAR.
JOE THE MURDER RATE ROSE NEARLY
40%, 30, 40% IN THE YEARS PRIOR.
WHY ARE THEY CHEER LEADING A
TINY DROP?
>> YOU KNOW, LIZ, IS THERE ANY
GROUP OF PEOPLE MORE OUT OF
TOUCH WITH EVERYDAY AMERICANS
THAN THE SO-CALLED JOURNALISTS
AT "THE NEW YORK TIMES"?
I MEAN THIS IS RICH.
HE IS TRYING TO GASLIGHT THE
PUBLIC SAYING WE SHOULD
CELEBRATE FOR A 4% REDUCTION
WHILE MURDERS ARE UP 40% OVER
LAST TWO YEARS.
VIOLENT CRIME IN NEW YORK IS UP
OVER 40% THIS YEAR.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IS REALLY
BOILS DOWN TO?
THESE JOURNALISTS COMFY BEHIND
THEIR DESKS, THEY’RE SAFE, THEY
DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO WORRY
ABOUT.
THEY CAN EXPOUND AND TALK ABOUT
HOW GREAT REVOLVING DOOR
CRIMINAL JUSTICE POLICIES ARE.
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" WIDELY
SUPPORTS THEM BECAUSE THEY DON’T
NEED TO SEE THE VICTIMS
FIRST-HAND.
THEY DON’T NEED TO SEE
CONSEQUENCES OF THOSE REVOLVING
DOOR POLICIES.
YOU KNOW, PREDICTABLY ENOUGH HE
BLAMES COVID EVEN THOUGH THE
VIOLENT CRIME SPIKE STARTED
BEFORE THAT AND ALSO BECAUSE NO
OTHER INDUSTRIALIZED NATION SAW
THE SAME INCREASE IN VIOLENT
CRIME THAT WE DID.
SO YOU KNOW I’VE GOT AN IDEA FOR
THIS GUY.
HOW ABOUT YOU SLITHER OUT FROM
BEHIND YOUR DESK COME DO A
RIDE-ALONG WITH ME.
SEE HOW BAD VICTIMS SUFFER
FACE-TO-FACE INCLUDING MINORITY
COMMUNITIES WHO ARE IMPACTED BY
THE REVOLVING DOOR POLICIES TO
THE TUNE OF 12 TIMES THE
HOMICIDE RATE FOR BLACK
AMERICANS TO EVERYONE ELSE.
IT IS RIDICULOUS AND HAS TO
