CUT UNDER MR. BRAGG.
>> Dana: GOOD INFORMATION TO
KNOW.
LET’S BRING IN FORMER NEW YORK
CITY POLICE COMMISSIONER.
I WAS QUITE DISMAYED.
I REALLY HAVE HIGH HOPES FOR
ERIC ADAMS, THE NEW MAYOR.
WE HAVE SEEN WHAT HAS HAPPENED
IN OTHER CITIES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY WHO HAVE THE POLICIES
THAT BRAGG RELEASED IN THIS
MEMO.
FOR EXAMPLE.
ARMED ROBBERS DEADLY WEAPONS,
WOULD ONLY BE PROSECUTED FOR
PETTY LARCENY AND THE OTHER ONE
I’LL MENTION.
CONVICTED CRIMINALS CAUGHT WITH
WEAPONS OTHER THAN GUNS WILL
HAVE CHARGES DOWNGRADED TO MISS
DEMEANORS.
>> IT IS ONE OF THE DUMBEST
THINGS I’VE EVER SEEN.
I WAS OPTIMISTIC AS WELL THAT
MAYOR ADAMS AND THE NEW
COMMISSIONER WILL BE ABLE TO
GET GUNS AND DRUGS OFF THE
STREET.
WHAT THIS DISTRICT ATTORNEY HAS
DONE IS GIVEN A ROADMAP TO
CRIME AND A MESSAGE TO
CRIMINALS THAT YOU CAN DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT AND YOU
AREN’T GOING TO GO TO JAIL.
YOU WON’T BE CHARGED WITH A
FELONY AND THE CITIZENS OF THE
CITY ARE GOING TO BE THE
VICTIMS.
NEW YORK CITY USED TO BE THE
SAFEST CITY IN AMERICA.
IT IS NOT NOW AND IT WILL GET
MUCH WORSE UNDER THIS GUY.
>> Trace: I WONDER HOW THIS
AFFECTS POLICE OFFICERS.
WHEN A D.A. COMES OUT AND SAYS
HE WILL ONLY PROSECUTE YOU OR
PUT YOU IN JAIL IF YOU COMMIT A
MURDER AND A FEW OTHER THINGS,
THAT HAS TO AFFECT THE WAY
POLICE OFFICERS DO THEIR JOB
KNOWING THAT MOST PEOPLE WILL
GET A FREE PASS.
>> THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED DURING
THE DEBLASIO ADMINISTRATION.
THE POLICE WERE NOT BACKED.
WHY SHOULD YOU GO OUT AND
ARREST SOMEBODY AND PUT
YOURSELF IN DANGER, GET A GUN
OFF THE STREET OR SEIZE DRUGS
AND KNOWING THAT PERSON WILL BE
RIGHT BACK OUT ON THE STREET TO
DO THAT OR WORSE?
MANY, MANY OF THESE PEOPLE
COMMITTED THE SAME CRIME
INCLUDING MURDER UNDER DEBLASIO.
THIS IS THE WORST THING THAT
COULD HAPPEN.
MY ADVICE TO THE CITY OF NEW
YORK GET A RECALL ELECTION
RIGHT NOW.
>> Dana: IF YOU LOOK AT THE
SURGE IN DEMOCRATIC-RUN CITIES
OF CRIME FROM 2021 VERSUS 2020
IS UP IN CHICAGO, L.A., HERE IN
NEW YORK CITY, SAN FRANCISCO,
MINNEAPOLIS.
THAT WILL CONTINUE UNLESS AS
YOU SAY THERE IS SOME SORT OF A
CHANGE HERE.
ONE THING THAT’S INTERESTING IS
BRAGG RAN FOR D.A. AND TRYING
TO DO IS ACTUALLY CHANGE THE
LAW.
HE DOESN’T WANT TO ENFORCE THE
LAW THAT’S ON THE BOOKS.
IF HE WANTS TO RUN FOR OFFICE
MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE RUN FOR
STATE ASSEMBLY.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
HE WAS ELECTED TO PROSECUTE
CRIMES, NOT CHANGE THE LAW.
WHAT HE IS DOING HERE IS
CHANGING THE LAW.
AND ENABLING CRIMINALS TO DO
OUTRAGEOUS THINGS.
THIS IS STUPID.
>> Trace: IT IS NOT JUST NEW
YORK.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY FAR LEFT PROSECUTORS IN
CALIFORNIA YOU HAVE GEORGE
GASCON.
AND BODINE DOING THIS AND IN
CALIFORNIA PEOPLE DON’T EVEN
REPORT PROPERTY THEFT OR
BURGLARY.
THEY DON’T REPORT IT TO POLICE
AND YOU HAVE THE MEDIA COMING
OUT SAYING SEE, PROPERTY AND
BURGLARY ARE WAY DOWN.
IT IS THE CONSTANT FEEDING OF
THE NARRATIVE.
>> IT’S WELCOMING SMASH AND
GRAB CRIMES TO NEW YORK.
WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE SAME
KIND OF THING THAT HAPPENED IN
L.A. AND SAN FRANCISCO AND BY
THE WAY, GASCON IS CURRENTLY
FIGHTING A RECALL ELECTION
BECAUSE THE CITIZENS OF SAN
FRANCISCO HAVE GOTTEN OUTRAGED.
ONE OF THE WORST THINGS THAT
COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN.
THE D.A. IS ONE-THIRD OF THE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
IF HE DOESN’T DO THE RIGHT
THING, COPS WILL JUST STOP
MAKING ARRESTS.
THEY’LL GO BACK --
>> Dana: WE’LL SEE IF THE MAYOR
SAYS ANYTHING ELSE AS IT
