WITH HIS YOUNG BRIDE AND
HEARTBREAKING TO GET THAT NEWS
FIRST DAY ON THE JOB.
VIOLENT CRIME SPIERG OUT OF
CONTROL IN NEW YORK CITY.
A NURSE DIED AFTER A DERANGED
HOMELESS MAN SLAMMED HER TO THE
GROUND MOMENTS AFTER MUGGING
ANOTHER WOMAN.
A MENTALLY ILL WOMAN SHOVING
SOMEONE INTO A SUBWAY TRAIN.
THE SUSPECTS WERE SET FREE
WITHOUT BAIL FROM PREVIOUS
CRIMES THANKS TO A 2020 BAIL
REFORM LAW.
TED WILLIAMS, ATTORNEY FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR, FORMER D.C.
HOMICIDE DETECTIVE TO TALK
ABOUT THAT.
TED, GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
I WANT TO PLAY -- HERE IS THE
COMMENT FROM THE SISTER OF THE
ALLEGED SUBWAY PUSHER.
THE CITY HAS FAILED HER, SHE
SAYS.
THEY TOOK HER OFF THE
MEDICATION BECAUSE SHE SAYS SHE
DOESN’T HAVE MENTAL ISSUES,
WHICH IS CLEARLY NOT THE TRUTH.
THEY ALWAYS LET HER GO AND SHE
ALWAYS ATTACKS SOMEBODY.
IF THEY KNEW ANY BETTER SHE
WOULD BE SENT TO THE
INSTITUTION TONIGHT INSTEAD OF PUT THAN HER ON RYKER’S ISLAND.
PUT THAN HER ON RYKER’S ISLAND.
WHAT DO YOU DO TRYING TO CORRAL
THE MENTALLY ILL.
>> THESE INCIDENTS ARE SO SAD.
I HAVE TO TELL YOU THERE IS NO
QUICK FIX TO WHEN YOU ARE
DEALING WITH THE MENTALLY ILL
ESPECIALLY IN NEW YORK CITY
WHERE YOU HAVE OVER 12,000
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE MENTALLY
ILL.
WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO
DO IS RETOOL AND RETRAIN
INDIVIDUALS TO RECOGNIZE MENTAL
ILLNESS.
YOU WILL HAVE TO HAVE MENTAL
ILLNESS EXPERTS TO WORK WITH
JUDGES IN THE COURTS TO TRY TO
IDENTIFY THESE PEOPLE AND NOT
SEND THEM TO PRISON OR JAILS
BUT TO SEND THEM TO SOME KIND
OF AN INSTITUTION IF THEY ARE
SEVERELY MENTALLY ILL.
THAT’S ALL YOU CAN DO
UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS STAGE.
>> Bill: WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL
BE THE STORY WITH THESE EASY
BAIL POLICIES WE’RE NOW SEEING
IN BIG CITIES?
>> THEY HAVE BEEN REVERSED.
THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO BE
REVERSED.
THE CRIMINALS ARE LAUGHING AT
US WITH THESE BAIL POLICIES.
THEY KNOW THAT THEY CAN COMMIT
CRIMES AND THAT BEFORE THE INK
IS DRY, THEY ARE BACK OUT ON
THE STREET.
THIS JUST SHOULD NOT BE
HAPPENING IN ANY CITY IN
AMERICA, BILL.
>> Bill: IT’S HAPPENING.
YOU KNOW THAT.
IN THE MEANTIME THERE IS A
MOVEMENT HERE.
WE HAD DEFUND AND NOW IT LOOKS
LIKE THEY’RE LOOKING FOR A
REFUND.
WHAT GIVES WITH THE DEFUNDING
OF THE POLICE TRYING TO GET
THEIR MONEY BACK?
>> LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS ARE
STANDING UP AND SAYING WHAT THE
HELL DO YOU MEAN DEFUNDING THE
POLICE WHILE CRIME IS GOING UP
IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS?
AND I THINK THE POLITICIANS WHO
HAVE TRIED TO BE POLITICALLY
CORRECT ARE NOW REVERSING AND
TRYING TO GIVE MORE MONEY.
YOU GOT NEW YORK CITY THERE
WHERE DEBLASIO HAS TAKEN
MILLIONS AWAY FROM THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT AND CRIME IS ON AN
UP SPIKE THERE IN NEW YORK.
AND YOU’VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
THAT’S HAPPENING AROUND THE
COUNTRY.
JUST RECENTLY THE ACTOR, MORGAN
FREEMAN, CAME OUT AND SPOKE OUT
RIGHTFULLY AGAINST THIS
SO-CALLED DEFUNDING CRAP.
>> Bill: OKAY.
HERE IS THE HOMICIDE RATE IN
THE BIG CITIES THAT WE’RE
TALKING ABOUT.
SO FAR NOW IN 2021 NEW YORK
CITY 263, AUSTIN UP ABOUT 53,
AND LOS ANGELES 299.
THIS IS STUNNING NUMBERS THERE.
WHAT WAS THIS COMMENT ABOUT
TRYING TO BE POLITICALLY
CORRECT, TED?
>> WELL, WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS
AFTER THE GEORGE FLOYD INCIDENT
YOU HAVE FOUND POLITICIANS AND
SPECIFICALLY IN DEMOCRATIC
STATES WHO HAVE TRIED TO BE
POLITICALLY CORRECT WITH WHAT
THEY BELIEVE THE CITIZENS
WANTED.
AND WHAT THEY BELIEVE THEIR
CITIZENS WANTED IS REALLY NOT
WHAT THEIR SIT ZENS WANTED.
CITIZENS, ALL THEY WANT TO DO
IS FEEL SAFE IN THEIR
NEIGHBORHOODS NO MATTER THEIR
SKIN COLOR AND THAT IS NOT
HAPPENING.
I MUST SAY I TAKE MY HAT OFF TO
PRESIDENT OBAMA AND BIDEN WHO
SAID THIS DEFUNDING THE POLICE
IS JUST SOMETHING THAT SHOULD
NOT HAPPEN.
AND I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH
THAT.
>> Bill: REFUND TO DEFUND IT IS.
THANKS FOR COMING IN TODAY.
NICE TO SEE YOU ON THIS MONDAY.
