that is why you had house republicans step in because, remember, the district of columbia is not a state. congress, under the constitution, has oversight of it. it can override things that the council does. house republicans passing a bill with 31 democrats joining them saying we are not going to allow. >> brian: going to block it. >> griff: going to block it. the senate is going to have people like joe manchin and get on board. and president biden saying okay, you know what? i get it, i'm not going to stand in the way. i'm not going to veto. i'm going to allow congress to block the d.c. city council bill. here is what biden tweeted i support d.c. statehood and rule but i don't support some of the changes d.c. council put forward over the mayor's objections such as lowering penalties for carjackings. if the city votes to overturn what the d.c. council did i will sign it. >> brian: homicides are up 40%. car thefts have more than doubled. they are down slightly year to year buff the numbers the last three years are over the roof.

stand than a sympathetic wit witness. >> i actually did find those moments to be sympathetic. i think what resonates with me now what resonated with me then and with the jury was the following: number one, again, you lied, you lied, you lied. there is an old saying in my business you dare what you not admit and you admit what you dare not deny. by admitting to all of the financial crimes, it certainly made it very easy for anyone to find him to be a cold, cruel, heartless thief who was a liar. when you couple that with the fact that he lied to the police about not being at the scene. right before the murders, that -- that i hate to say it, that really killed him. >> griff: you think that, randy, was the nail in the coffin moment? >> there is no doubt.

returned a verdict? >> the jury came back with a verdict quicker than it took me to get from manhattan to ithaca. the speed of the verdict, it was absolutely stunning. from an ego standpoint as a defense lawyer, you always at least want to be able to look at the time that you kept the jury out thinking about the case as some soothing effect, again, personally but, the fact that that jury came back in under three hours, that was the jury's message of you lied to us be not being a murderer. >> griff: randy it, seemed as when murdaugh was doing the paw paw and imagines and taking the chicken out of buster's mouth and trying to appeal to it jury speed in which they returned saw more of a narcissist on the

because that was objective evidence. again, we didn't have a confession. we didn't have an eyewitness. we didn't have great forensics. but, putting him at the scene minutes before that now established the prosecution's duty to show opportunity. what resonated with me was always that questionable motive. when mr. murdaugh took the stand and said oh the motive was the boat accident. to me, that made less sense be than the prosecution's motive of doing this as a distraction and then again, what really nailed it for me was anyone who could stage his own homicide was capable of committing a homicide. >> griff: so, randy, in the last 30 seconds or so we have got here in hindsight, would have you ever put him on the stand? >> in this -- in these circumstances, yes. he had nothing to lose. because he was going to jail for a million years for the financial crimes. >> griff: all right.

advantage of this and saying d.c. needs to be its own state. >> brian: she is like cori bush she doesn't say it. defund the police. she says it everyday. and that is the feeling. they think cops are the problem rather than crime being the problem. we are getting a sense since 2020 of what it is like when you go soft on crime. you eventually will become a victim of it. and your city will be destroyed. and the people that vote on it usually move out. >> griff: you mentioned cori bush, how is that working out for st. louis. i will tell you living in d.c. i talk to d.c. cops all the time. i have gotten to know several of them. they are telling me look, our police force is the smallest it's been since the 70s. >> brian: no one wants to do it. griff griff now getting it. be no one wants to do it. tom cotton tweeted this out by d.c. law president biden acknowledging that soft on crime policies endanger the public. it's not very complicated by the way. he should apply the same reasoning to drug traffic defund the police and illegal

♪ >> brian: all right. here we go. back with a fox weather alert. people across the south in the path of severe storms as people in parts of tension hit with tornadoes. 76 mile-per-hour winds and golf ball size hail. >> griff: powerful system leaving behind a trail of destruction in arkansas. >> ainsley: katie byrne joins us from ark with the latest. >> good morning, guys. we know that six tornadoes have been reported across three states so far in the last 24 hours. at least 100,000 customers without power in texas this morning. and nearly a roughly 20,000 without power across all three states of arkansas, louisiana, and mississippi. a tornado watch is actually impacting parts of all three of those states at this hour and is likely to extend. so, we're starting to see visuals of what happened through the night and a lot of what you are going to see is actually going to be in the dark because that's when the most severe impacts of these storms happened and people are going to be waking up to this assessing the daniel as the sun comes up. this is storm damage from late

headlines. now let's talk about what's happening in washington, d.c. >> ainsley: which is where you live so you can start this off. >> griff: i would love. to say because i have lived in d.c. owned a home since 1995. and increasingly over the last two decades, the city council there has gotten more and more progressive. so progressive now that they have got this crime bill they passed in the d.c. city council against the mayor bowser's objection. she'll doesn't like this bill. the police chief in d.c. robert contee doesn't like this bill because of what it does. take a looker who. i want to show you some of the highlights. it reduces maximum sentences across the board. it gets rid of nearly every mandatory minimum sentence. allows for jury trials in almost all misdemeanor cases. reduces penalties for offenses like burglaries, carjackings and robberies. reduces it in the max penalty for felony with gun drops to four years from 15 years. this bill makes absolutely zero common sense.
