7:02 am
rivera. >> reporter: now that special prosecutor nathan wade has stepped down, fulton county district attorney fannie willless can stay on the election interference case against former purpose, but she comes out of this with her reputation in question. judge scott mcafee ruled there trump and his allies failed to show the relationship between willis and wade created an actual conflict of interest. still, he had some tough language for her saying she demonstrate ised a tremendous lapse in judgment, and he criticized this fiery exchange between willis and the defense when she testified during the earth share hearing last month. evidentiary. >> you think i'm on trial. these people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. i'm not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial. >> reporter: mcafee is now suggesting he be with open to a gag order on willis to prevent her from talking publicly about the case. willis are is defending wade in her response to his resignation letter praising his work over
7:03 am
the last 865 days saying you were the one who had the courage to accept the role even though you did not seek it. it are remains to be soon how the loss of wade's institutional memory could affect this sprawling prosecution, and some legal experts believe willis may run into challenges during jury selection given the public nature of this case. >> you know, or she is damaged goods. every time she's associated with this case, it reminds people of the rather dubious way this came about. >> reporter: -- can submit if a certificate of immediate review and take this case all the way to the georgia court of appeals that would, of course, further delay these legal proceedings. edward. edward: madeleine, thank you. so what happens next in georgia? with me now is former assistant u.s. attorney and fox news contributor andy mccarthy. so, andy, before we get into the details, they're man wade resigned but frank -- nathan wade resigns. what does this do to the timeline of the case now, if anything? >> it's hard to say, edward,
7:04 am
because they don't have a trial date at the moment as it is, and the other thing that's kind of hanging out will there that has to be dealt with is the fact that two days earlier judge mcaa fee threw out 6 of the 41 counts in the indictment but invited the prosecutors to go back ott grand jury and supersede or refile. if they -- those counts are important to them, they don't want to lose them. but at the same time, if they do that, that opens up various avenues for delay. edward: yeah. and so now i want to ask you about the judge's decision. both the judge and the district attorney are up for re-election this year. now, first, that fact alone, does a re-election for a judge in a high profile case in the same year cause any pause for you? >> well, i'm -- i am having a lot of trouble as we look around the country with all of these electoral state systems. you know, in the federal system we appoint judges is so at least in theory they have to go through the senate. same thing with prosecutors, by
7:05 am
the way. chief prosecutors in district. they have to go through the senate and assure them that they're not going to use their powers politically. in the state system, the judges in many of them and the prosecutors are elected, and i think very often they serve the politics rather than the law. i don't think that used to be a problem when i was a young prosecutor in new york. but the culture has changed. so it's not seen as a disqualifying in a a lot of places when you're a prosecutor and you say to the electorate if you elect me, i'll use my powers to go after this political enemy of ours like letitia james did in new york, and the judges are kind of expected to be political in these systems. edward: yeah. and so in the judge's decision he said he found the appearance of impropriety but that the defense did not prove their case that there was a conflict of interest. you know, what's the difference in those two thingsesome. >> yeah, there was a conflict of interest. the difference is, and i think
7:06 am
you put your finger on it when you said political. the difference is this is a judge who's running for re-election in the same district that fani willis is in. these are low-turnout elections. she's got a political base there. he had to confront the fact that if he booted her, that would redound to his detriment politically. and the broader picture is if he had disqualified her because she gave false testimony in a proceeding, that wouldn't just put taint on this case, it would be like every single case that the fulton county district attorney brings. so i don't think he wanted to go there, can and he pulled up short. edward: and we saw very angry, you saw some of the testimony, a very angry district attorney willis in this hearing. you -- now, given the testimony that we saw from her, how will that play in the case against the form former with that judge and her prosecuting? >> >> yeah. i think, i think the decision not to remove if her, while legally wrong, is really a coup for trump because it opens up
7:07 am
the possibility of an aa peel of this, which is delay, and that's what his main strategy here is, is delay. but also, number one, her presence in the case infects it with, you know, he called it the to -- the odor of mendacity. that's not good when the judge is saying that about you as the prosecutor. [laughter] but the other thing is this whole episode, one of the things i've been trying to argue from the beginning is thatly -- rico's a very complicated statute. she filed a sprawling indictment, and i don't think she's up to this case. and the best indication of that is they've taken -- [inaudible] so far, nobody has pled guilty to rico and nobody has pled guilty to a crime serious enough to go to prison for one hour despite if all the historying ontics of how ow democracy was hanging by a thread. edward: you think a favor if bl judge, a favorable district, to go forward with a favorable
7:08 am
jury? >> yeah, no, i think that's absolutely right. but also she's still got to get her hands around this case, and i don't think she's ever had a rico can case. and she keeps saying these people con fire ised -- conspired to overturn an election result. and the problem with that is overturning an election result is not a crime. to conspire to do something, you have to conspire to do something that's actually a crime. so what you have here is a bunch of people, 19 of them, who don't see themselves as an organization. they're not a rico. the only thing they've ever done together is get indicted. and they have, like, disparate little crimes that they've possibly committed in the course of doing something that was legal which is to avail themselves of the legal means to try to overturn an election result. edward: yeah. of and what do you think about this in terms of they have a state investigation going on into her, and what if she get subpoenaed go in front of congress? >> well, you know, if past is prologue, she'll do what alvin
7:09 am
bragg did in new york and pretty much ignore the house judiciary committee. for her i think the state legislature's probably a bigger deal because she's a state official, and they have real teeth in terms of what they can do her. edward: yeah. i want to switch gears quickly here, we tonight have a lot of time left, but president biden faces some troubles from the former special counsel robert hur. he testified week. you know, he defended his assessment of president biden's memory as well as his decision not to bring the charges in the classified document case. do you think that was fair? >> well, i think what he said was absolutely fair. remember, what the regulation requires is that he file a confidential report with the attorney general explaining his charging decision. and here you have a case where the guy did everything he needed to do, all the a actions you need to do to illegally retain documents, and the prosecutor found over the weight of the ed that he acted willfully -- evidence. that's a hard row to hoe to
7:10 am
explain to your boss if the biden justice department actually wanted to prosecute and was open to prosecuting, to explain if why you don't bring charges in that situation is very tough. and that's what he tried to do. edward: i want to get one quick follow on that. do you think the actual tapes of the president need to be released, not just the transcripts? >> i would, i would like to see them release everything. and i think my standard is what if it was a republican. if it was a republican, we'd already have it. edward: yeah. andy mccarthy, or thank you for your insight on this. i appreciate it. thank you very much. >> thanks, ed edward. edward: georgia state the republican senator bill couser is my special guest in the next hour. his committee will continue investigating d.a. a willis, and he'll tell us key detail it is he's trying to uncover. and up next, with donald trump hitting the campaign trail today, we will see how the controversy over georgia prosecutor's influences voters in november, then pressure building for the senate to pass a tib doc crackdown -- tiktok

"wall street journal" national politics reporter natalie andrews joins me now on how voters may judge this. now, the pretty quality -- political fallout may not only affect the national race for president, but also a local race in fulton county, georgia. what's the impact, do you think, on the former president? >> well, the former president has been already fund raising off of the charges being dropped. i saw large, all caps e-mails saying charges have been dropped, come support me. and i think both the trump campaign9 and the biden campaign here are looking for those maybe those nikki haley voters, maybe
7:15 am
those swing voters that are really going to matter in states like georgia, possibly north carolina, pennsylvania. these people who are generally debating looking at the same decision that they had to make in 2020 and decide. and seeing these charges drop, seeing the murkiness around this case and seeing the judge also agree that there was some murkiness around the case, that could help trump. edward: the former president gains more support p it e seems, from his republican base. does any of this the legal pile on affect independent and women voters? >> when i traveled, i was in north carolina just a few weeks ago given it was one of the tightest races in 2020 and went for trump, you see people really doubling down. they really feel like trump's been attacked here, and they really feel like they want to defend the former president that they like. and they're wanting -- they're looking to pull people onboard who have maybe wavered on trump. they're looking to pull that support back toward the trump side. edward: do you feel like that'll
7:16 am
happen, end feints and women? >> it'll be interesting to see how these cases go. when you talk to independents, some of them really can be swayed by, say, if trump was found guilty. they see that as a determining factor of their vote. so i think for some of these cases they're going to cant to -- want to play out. i think some of these cases are not going to play out anytime soon, and voters will have to decide before they get to -- the election day could come before -- edward: yeah, sure. and and so what do you think about the president's calculus to go to all of these hearings and be seen? is that image to drive home that this prosecution -- this is persecution of the president? >> yeah. he's taken that side, right? if that he's being persecuted, that this is a witch hunt, and he's going and he's able to really unite his base around that. and it puts him out front, it puts him looking like he's defending himself, like he's standing up for himself. and when you talk to voter, they like to see that. they like to seeup donald trump standing up for himself -- to
7:17 am
see donald trump standing up for himself. edward: the fulton county d.a. now has a challenger and so does the judge. how do you think that's going to may out given the courtroom drama? >> i think that it is definitely all eyes on this. it's, it's -- when you talk to independents, when you talk to people that are going to sway these elections, they don't like how this looks. and, you know, even the judge said he didn't like how this looked when he was choosing to drop the charges. so it's going to weigh on voters' minds. they don't like what this looks like. edward: yeah. when the legal courtroom drama reaches the political drama, this is what we get. natalie andrews, thank you for this. i appreciate it. >> thank you. edward: so the house is ticking on tiktok. the house passes a bill that could force the sale or ban the popular app. but will the senate pick it up? if plus, working 9 to 5 only 4 days a week for the same bay. that's senator bernie sanders'

edward: tiktok's fate in the senate's hands after a bipartisan effort in the house to ban the chinese-owned app if it does not sell to an american owner passes. president biden signing it, saying he'd sign it if that a bill hits his desk. lucas tomlinson is at the white house with more details. >> reporter: that's right, edward. president biden says he supports the house bill. of course, it still waits for any passage in the senate.
7:22 am
this topic came up at the white house press briefing yesterday. >> we welcome that bill. this is a divestment bill, it's not a ban. i'm not going to get into hypotheticals here. we're going to offer the technical support as it moves, obviously, if the house into the senate. but we welcome this bill, and wr national security. >> reporter: in an interview with our own by kurtz, donald trump says the attention focus should be on facebook. >> if you're going to do it to tiktok, do it to facebook. and what you can do is let them sell tiktok, let them sell it in the market, maybe get a good price, maybe not get a good price, i don't know, but take it away from china control. but i think china controls facebook also because they have tremendous power in that company. >> reporter: and not all republicans are onboard with forcing tiktok to sell is. here's senator rand paul late this week. >> i think when you're alleged of a crime, you have to be
7:23 am
convicted of it. so you can't really take someone's property in our country without a conviction. that's in the fifth amendment. you have to have due process to take someone's eau company from them or force them to sell is. there were two decisions under donald trump when with he tried to ban in that have all been found unconstitutional. >> reporter: now, the chinese government says the u.s. government and congress is acting like a bully right now. some china hawks here in the united states think that a tiktok is a trojan horse and has a toxic algorithm affecting our young people. ed edward? edward: yeah. when business meets politics, international politics, i don't know how many likes you're going to get for that story. thanks, lucas, appreciate it. to cyber security attorney the lisa garber on the fallout. our aishah hasnie is reporting senators are being flooded with threatening calls over a potential crackdown. what do you make of that? >> edward, great to be here with you. it's not a surprise that they're getting threats because we have 170 million excited american users on tiktok, thousands of
7:24 am
businesses as well and thousands of employees based in the united states. we have to remember that even if the senate does pass this and it goes through to president biden for him to sign, there's still going to be the legal challenges posed by tiktok and others too. so this is the really going to be a bureaucratic process, and that's the same that we've seen with attempted bans of tiktok and different content and moderation processes for social media in general throughout the united states. so it's not going to be a fast process. edward: right. and have you heard of tiktok at all turning its influencers against lawmakers, maybe say in the house who voted for this sale or ban? >> yes. tiktok has launched an aggressive social media campaign to promote trying to get people out and writing to their senators, writing to their congress people to demand that the ban does not go through. the but the problem here is it's twofold, right? because generally tiktok is beholden to chinese leaders, to the chinese communist party.
7:25 am
but in addition to that and the potential for private data to go into malicious actors' hands, it's also the fact that we don't know exactly who controls the algorithm for what americans see, and then we have problems with misinformation, disinformation and potentially malicious propaganda too. edward: and going to that algorithm, doesn't it show if they can turn this against lawmakers how you can weaponize a social media platform like tiktok and quickly? >> we've seen weaponization of social media platforms including x, facebook and instagram before. we've seen it for a decade now. and that's really at the heart of this concern too. it's not just tiktok, although tiktok has multiple player -- layers of problem problems. it's all of the social media platforms because we don't have the right privacy programsif laws in place. we're only now starting to see proposal for federal bans affecting data privacy in the united states for all americans, and that's really what we need to see moving forward. edward: i'm curious, do you have
7:26 am
a tiktok account? >> i do not. edward: yeah, i don't either. that's one of the things, you know, the difference, you know, your concern over tiktok and instagram which is now owned by facebook and faces its own privacy concerns. i'm curious about what you think about that when you look into tiktok, do you have to look at instagram? >> you have to look at all of them. tiktok does have the china problem, but honestly, many of these social media platforms are selling data to data brokers which put together billions of data points on americans and other citizens of the world and sell them for congressional use and potentially s by imagine the use as well. i know i sound like i have a tinfoil hat on, but we don't have the strong protections in the united states like the e.u. does for data privacy, and we need to. data privacy is just like oil, it's like currency it's extremely valuable, and we're not protecting it right in the united states now. edward: plus, if you look at the tiktok user agreement, it allows them access to the entire phone, so that's e-mails, text
7:27 am
messages, contacts. and you don't really know what the chinese government, you know, with access to this is doing with that data. >> you're exactly right edward. and even to go one step further, it's also biometrics, right? it's our face, our voice, it's potentially how we move as well. we are giving that data up. and it's certainly a great business model. it's very addicting, it's fun to use -- or so i've heard -- but it's problematic with how much data we are freely giving up to use it. edward: lisa, this debate will continue. thank you for your insight or, appreciate it. >> thank you. edward: yeah. so it's not just republican slamming the biden administration if over the border. 14 democrats voting to denounce the president's policies. texas democratic congressman henry cuellar here to explain why he's one of them. and less work with, same pay. that's what bernie sanders is pushing for. but could businesses small or large afford that? if. ♪ everybody's working for the

7:32 am
edward: so treasury secretary janet yellen taking up the economy this week as prices increase 18.5% since president biden came into office. so i sat down with treasury is secretary janet yellen wednesday where she defended her outlook on inflation. listen to this. >> well, look, inflation is down almost two-thirds from the high it reached in 2022. and the trend is cheerily -- clearly a favorable one. i wouldn't look at, expect this to be a smooth path month to month, but the trend is clearly favorable. that said, president biden's top priority is addressing the issue of high costs that concerns so
7:33 am
many americans. they're worried about their ability to make ends meet, and he's doing all that he can, bringing down prescription drug prices, bringing down the cost of health care and, of course, the investments that we're making to promote are renewables in the united states will make energy more secure and and will lower the cost of energy to households. in the state of the union, the president also a proposed ways to increase the spry of -- the supply of affordable housing and make housing more affordable for new home buyers. >> reporter: when you talk about inflation, the cpi has had a 3 in front of it since last year. why is jamie dimon wrong when he's saying the worst case is stagflation? >> i don't think we're going to see stagflation. most forecasters believe we're on a path where inflation will come down over time. the single biggest contributor
7:34 am
to inflation is housing costs, and we can see when we look at the a market for new rental apartments that in many parts of the country rental prices for new apartments have actually declined overall, flat to slightly down. it takes a while for that to filter into the cpi. and so i have every expectation that the single largest contributor to it, to inflation is going to be moving down over this year. >> and that will bring the rest with it. in 2021 though you kid say that inflation -- you did say inflation was transitory. do you regret saying that now? >> i regret saying it was transitory. it has come down, but i think transitory means a few weeks or months to most people. edward: so is under president biden's policies from the month he came into office, january 2021 to today, prices have gone
7:35 am
up 18.5%. i think people are feeling that, and you're seeing that in the polls. >> americans are seeing the costs of some goods that are important to them like rent having increased. many prices are well off their highs. gasoline, eggs, other things, tvs, used cars and trucks that people buy are well off their highs. and, look, as i said, president biden knows that high costs are a burden to many american households, and it's his number one priority to do what he can to lower costs. edward: well off their highs but still more than when president biden came into office. yesterday i confronted the white house press secretary on what janet yellen told me about inflation and if the biden administration agrees about this bumpy road. listen. >> we have seen inflation go down by two-thirds from if its
7:36 am
peak. and so want to make sure that it is clear what she said and what the data also shows. >> reporter: two-thirds or from its peak, its peak was a year and a half into president biden's office, into his term. he also canceled the keystone pipeline which sparked and we passed $a 5.8 trillion in spending which also pushes inflation. my question is, how much longer will it be for americans to then bring down all prices? >> so, look, because the president's unprecedented actions that he took as it relates to the oil, we saugus prices go down. the pandemic, the supply chain, what we saw putin do in ukraine, right, that caused inflation to increase. and in every part of what i just said, or what i just laid out, the president has taken action on. edward: so the reaction from capital advisor founder and ceo kenny polcari. blaming everyone else here. i'm going to start with the economy, but it seems like they are blaming everyone else other than the white house policies. what do you think? >> well, listen, and they
7:37 am
continue to blame covid. i'm tired of listening to everybody or point to covid. that happened now four years ago. we're past covid. forget that. stop leaning on that as a reason to say and russia invading ukraine, you know? two years ago. and what it did to the price of oil. i'm tired of listening to that because i think most americans don't feel that's the case at all at the current moment, right? if they spent too much money, prices have gone up. yes, they've come down, but they've come down from extraordinarily high prices. but the trend is still higher. month over month, i mean, janet yellen can say year-over-year the trend is lower, but we seem to be stuck at this 3, 3.5% level and, quite honestly, i think that's where we're going to be stuck. i don't think they're going to get back to 2% unless they really kill the economy, and i don't think they want to do that especially this year because it's an election year. edward: yeah. and also if you look at a december, january and february, the cpi month over month has been increasing. yeah, so the secretary says that inflation coming down will not
7:38 am
be smooth month other month. what does that mean to you -- month over month. >> it just means to prepare for ongoing high prices. and if here's the part that also gets me, is that they talk about used car price coming down. televisions coming down. that's great. how often are you buying a used car? you can't eat a television. [laughter] what are you going to do with a television to feed your family or put a roof over your house? you cannot. it's the stuff that's really important, it's a steak, chicken, eggs, it's bacon. it's food, it's the utilities. it's the stuff you and i need every single day. and, by the way, have you seen the price of oil recently? it is now above $80 and probably in the 80-85 range so, in fact, it has gone up, and that's not yet reflected in those, the ppi and the cing pi. edward: and gas prices are inching back up, and we do not if advocate eating a television. [laughter] last one on this, kenny, i see inflation pressures in the economy are holding off that rate cut. do you believe now with these inflation pressures we could be
7:39 am
looking at july or the end of the summer for a rate cut? >> i've been in the no cut camp since the first of the year. i don't see how they can justify cutting rates with the data being what it is. they said -- they told us they're so data-dependent, and the data remains strong. they can't be cutting rates when job growth is strong, unemployment is still at historic lowses, right? earnings season and the forward guy dance once again strong. of so there's no justification for them to say, well, the economy's certainly down the drain, we need to cut rates. that's not what what we're seeing at all, so i don't think it's going to be may, june, july and then we're well in that presidential election window where they're not supposed to actually do anything up or down until that passes, right? if so if anything, maybe you see something in november and december, but i'm not even in that camp until i see more data. edward: so let's talk about bernie sanders now and his 4-day workweek for full pay.
7:40 am
[laughter] neil spoke with ken langone about this on "your world" yesterday where he explains who he thinks would end up paying for a shorter workweek. listen to this. >> a 32-hour workweek raises labor costs directly 20. why? because the 8 hours they're not working you've not to hire somebody else. who's going the pay for it? who always pays for it in the end, the consumer. the costs have to be passed on, or the businesses that absorb those costs will no longer be attractive for investment. edward: so what do you think? what will this do to small or large wizs? >> he's a thousand percent right because what are you going to do, close on the fifth day of the week? on friday everybody's going to be closed and everything shuts down? it's absolutely ludicrous, to me, that bernie sanders and the left, the far left, is now pushing for a 4-day workweek. it just makes no sense. all it does is it makes, it a makes, you know, it puts us as as a nation kind of behind the
7:41 am
8-ball because you don't see china going to a 4-day workweek. if anything, they're pushing their people harder to get, to gain strength and to gain an upper hand. right in on us. so this idea that he wants to go to a 4- day workweek is mind-boggling to me. edward: kenny, we're going to have to get you updated with the calculator. i see on the side of your desk on the left-hand side of the screen or we're going to have to get you into the 2 century -- [laughter] >> it's old fashionedded. i'm of that generation. [laughter] edward: you're always spot on. of thanks, kenny. now to the up in haiti with gang violence is erupting there. new concerns that a wave of migrants could be headed here. and another new york subway shooting sending consumers -- or commuters fleeing even with the national guard patrolling. that's coming up. and my dignity. get out of the way! as if watching my team lose wasn't punishment enough. what are you looking at huh...

tornadoes tore through parts of ohio and indiana on thursday leaving at least three dead in logan county, ohio. that's where fox weather's nicole valdes is. nicole, this is just horrible. >> reporter: 20 tornadoes impacting more than 8 states across the u.s. so you can imagine the hurt that so many americans are feeling. here in logan county, ohio, we're standing in an area really where a lot of that damage is concentrated. indian lake here has seen some of the worst of it. i'll point out one of the mobile homes behind me that has just been torn to pieces. you're looking at what was once a floor here, and next to me here are roofs, some signage, really some things that some people owned and loved to see especially during the summer months when they spent a lot of time their too many on the lake -- time on their lake. this mobile home lifted off its foundation, sent several feet down the road. here's where it onced to do. you'll notice just some personal
7:46 am
belongings left standing there. but in the distance, another example of to how powerful this tornado was, an ef3 here, lifting that boat out of the marina, out of the water and sending it crashing down onto one home here. a truly incredible situation and very emotional next few days for those who live in logan county. really neighboring communities including russell's point also seeing significant damage whether it's large trees that have come crashing down onto homes, another image of boats just sent flying in the air. i mean, it's a devastating day. and if now officials that were initially focused on that search and rescue effort on areas including orchard island which at one point was inaccessible are now switching over to the recovery phase to start assessing that damage but also continue can their search for anyone who may till be missing. -- still be missing. we're waiting to find out if there is anyone they're looking

for specifically, but at this point at least three dead here. edward: yeah. and not just that boat being spent feet, it's been flipped upside down. thanks, nicole. it's -- you've got to be careful, the force of mother nature. thank you. so now to the gang violence erupting in haiti. the u.s. bracing for a potential wave of migrants from the caribbean country. bryan llenas is near the haitian border in the dominican republic with the very latest. bryan? if. >> reporter: edward, yeah, that's right. we are standing at the bane border crossing between haiti and the dominican republic. this is where thousands of haitians per week cross to try to buy and sell their goods, a real lifeline for a country that is in real crisis. the u.s. state department does not know how many americans are currently trapped in hay a city, but they've heard from several -- haiti, but they've that heard from several hundred who are. there is no plan to evacuate these americans, and they are effectively on their own. haiti and its airports are now under the control of gangs who in the last couple of weeks have attacked and looted hundreds of
7:48 am
homes, businesses and police stations. the nonprofit project dynamo, veterans who use donor money to rescue americans, says they are working to evacuate some three dozen americans from haiti by air and sea. >> the number one funding source of the gangs as they are is kidnappings. so they're not squeamish about it. they're not, you know, this is normal, normal stuff for them. there'll be a spike in that. so, therefore, we can conclude that this cannot take weeks. >> reporter: nine americans for the organization mugs of grace are trapped in the southwest part of the country where they fled with some 300 haitian orphans. myrrh yam from jacksonville, florida, says they've been in contact with congressmen and florida governor ron desantis' office a, but they have not heard a plan from the federal government or anyone yet. >> i'm really sad isenned -- saddened, and i'm mad and if i'm frustrated that we will live in a a country as free, as powerful
7:49 am
as the united states and we can help others secure their borders, we can help others do different things, but when it comes to americans being trapped in another country, we're the last to get back home. >> reporter: a transnational council has been put together to try to form a new government in haiti. but meanwhile here in the given can republic, they are concerned of a worst case scenario which would be a flood of haitian migrants make their way here if the society continues to collapse. of there's also a concern in the united states. as for americans in haiti, edward, the u.s. embassy and the none can republic says she should watch the local news and decide on their own if it's safe enough to go on the roads the try to make their way out. edward in. edward: wow. compelling. thanks, bryan llenas. appreciate it. we'll have much more in the next hour with texas congressman, democratic congressman henry cuellar. he just launched the new democrats for border security

7:54 am
contributor paul mauro joins me now. why can't we get this under control? >> a because there's -- [audio difficulty] you know, we're seeing it across the country mainly in our blue cities. the paradigm has been and is defund, destroy and deflect. we've gone through the defunding, they've destroyed the municipalities and now we're well into the deflection mode during an election year. and so consequently, there is still resistance to going back to the things that worked in the 'to 90s and early 2000s, the broken windows policing, actually the incarcerating repeat perpetrators, letting the police and prosecutors actually do the their jobs. and and, you know, this movement had kind of begun already because, god forbid, some of these measures actually work. the left has to immediately reflexively reject them. but then you had the overlay of the george floyd incident, and that sort of --
7:55 am
[inaudible] the theory that all of our law enforcement was systemically racist. and through that ap aer churching hay pushed every possible -- aperture they pushed every measure they could to throw the jails open and stop prosecuting. and if now we're seeing the results and, inevitably, it's going to be the very people who they supposedly advocate for, people of color, working people, people who are on the subway who are going to suffer from these wrongheaded policies. edward: i'm curious, would you let your child ride e the subway right now? >> i would not. and i also -- and this has been a source of contention and ongoing debate on the air on some of the shows because i've mentioned that i have strongly opined that i don't with let my wife on the subway even. and, you knowing or she's a grown woman who grew up here in new york city, she can make her own decisions, but to the extent that i can influence her, i tell her not to ride the subway. it's way too haphazard. look, i grew up here. i remember the bad with old days
7:56 am
of the '80s and the '90s. this is different. it's a lot more random. there's more of an era of menace. even the homeless and the mentally ill that we have, they seem to be far more out there and more unpredictable than you had in the past. it and feels when you go on -- i was on the subway the day of that shooting, i was not far from that stop. and i can just the tell you that there is an air of just chaos. it doesn't feel like anybody is in charge. that's the best way i can do it. the token booths are unmanned, the metro card machines don't work, there's people going in through the out door. i go over this all on my if web site, the ops desk. we new york city crime and crime trends, and i listed four or five things that have just -- it was before this incident, and all of them have been borne out. the police are shorthanded, the prosecutors don't want to lock anybody up, and they a don't want to admit it's a problem. edward: so, paul, i appreciate that. and and maybe video like this will make a difference. unfortunately, those folks have to go through this in order for
