welcome back no neighborhood is safe in
new york city right now almost every
city police precinct 72 out of 77 have
seen a rise in crime this year alone
with total crime rising almost 42
percent so far progressive manhattan d.a
alvin bragg admitting yesterday the city
is quote in crisis as shootings surged
30 percent from the same time last year
meanwhile homelessness in san francisco
is getting so out of control that
residents are being asked to take in a
homeless person
put them into your spare room
digging mcdowell this is the city's
answer to the homeless problem asking
residents to take people in your
thoughts
and a lot of the problem here in new
york city and i've witnessed it
firsthand i witnessed it this morning in
fact are severely mentally ill
psychotic homeless people who are a
danger to the city and a danger to
everyone so what is this city going to
do about them there's a video of a
homeless man in seattle earlier this
month hitting a
innocent person in the back of the head
with a baseball bat that happens all
over this city every day and if you read
this report about the spike in crime in
all the precincts
nearly every single police precinct in
new york has seen a spike in crime
they're five where the rate has doubled
look that's more than
doubling in say precinct 26 the only
precinct in manhattan not to see a crime
jump is the one that governs central
park here's a quote from one brooklyn
police officer at this rate we will lose
the city by saint patrick's day
tourists will never come back only these
squirrels are safe said another police
officer so what is this new mayor we had
great hopes for him talking about will
he admit he's talking about people
needing to eat a plant-based diet and
then he admitted on monday that he also
eats fish he's turning into a disaster
until they start stepping up and that's
alvin bragg and this mayor and saying we
will do everything in our power to
provide safety for the public it is the
really the first requirement of
government and they have not been able
to say that we will make this city safe
we will stand up for victims so where
are they on this album bragg rolls back
a couple of his
truly egregious dangerous policies it's
not enough
yeah
it's very discouraging and then you hear
jen saki say something like soft on
crime what does that even mean
right soft on crime consequences what
does that even mean it means that people
who are out
no bail because of the bail reform in
new york or killing people
or
sexually assaulting those or
just assaulting them that's what it
means and we see it every single day i
see it in my building yeah
i know you do i know it's so
discouraging and you know you want to
know what it means ask the widows of the
two
police officers who were murdered two
weeks ago 22 years old and 27 years old
ryan
it's crazy and i literally i mean i feel
like every time on the show now i have
an anecdote but i was on the subway
yesterday and i saw someone get punched
in the face like this happens on a daily
basis now and i think going back to what
degan just said what i worry about is
the city's recovery i'm very bullish on
new york i love being here but you know
the lifeblood of new york is attracting
young people into the city and if the
crime doesn't come down you know how
many parents are going to let their kids
out of college come here to work and i
think you know we're in a kind of a
dicey situation right now where if we
don't fix this problem it's really going
to stop that flow of people into the
city for employment and that's what
really drives the city long term is that
talent pool and i think that's at risk
right now given so you know the crime is
just so outrageous and by the way if you
get punched in the face
the person who punches you in the face
isn't held on bail
they're right back out on the street
that's one of the assaults you have to
be
you could be wounded and have to go to
the emergency room and that person is
not going to be held on bail and i
somebody shared an article with me that
was just gross it was in the ap
about new york and crime and crime
overall and the argument seems to be
well
um the city is still like there were
fewer than 500 murders last year you
know it's
there were more than 2 000 in the early
90s
well it it there that's fewer than there
were about 10 years ago who cares
what it is
those are our options is to sit around
and wait until there's more than 2 000
people getting murdered every year yeah
that's just these are your standards
yeah it's insane it really is it really
is meanwhile you've got you know joe
biden using this as an opportunity to
create policy new policy around gun laws
no no matter
the person pulling the trigger coming
