what kind of pressure or obstacle is somebody like a mayor eric adams up against when he was testifying yesterday at a hearing with the state officials because the state assembly has actually passed a lot of these laws. what kind of pressure is he up against to try to change that? that s a lot of pressure. look, dana, it is not eric adams job. it is alvin bragg s job. they are the gate keepers to the criminal justice system. i commend the mayor for trying to work some common sense into the legislators but they won t do that. they have passed criminal laws that allow the d.a.s of the counties including alvin bragg to do their job. it is alvin bragg s problem. the blood is on his hands. the blood is on gascon s hands, kim foxx in chicago. more dangerous to be on the streets of chicago in any given weekend, bill and dana, that it was at the height of the surge
times? that s hard to do. it takes a lot to make that happen. not for some criminals. not for a lot of criminals. bill. the problem is, that s a common type of rap sheet for a repeat criminal. most independent law and order prosecutors whether they are democrat or republican is irrelevant, enforce the law as written. ask for reasonable bail. they will charge special circumstances, enforce the law as written. but these rogue prosecutors are pro-criminal and they don t do that. what you are seeing in new york and l.a. under gascon and if philly and baltimore and other places like that is the career criminals are laughing. they are laughing because they get to run the city and the d.a. is the gate keeper of the criminal justice system and they are refusing to do their jobs. dana: let s show everyone the map where you saw cities with a record number of homicides in 2021. that s not a good map. not the kind of map you want to see.
