vuitton. national retail foundation size it's costing businesses millions of dollars, employees strapped down and nervous. can you imagine trying to guard one of those places? enter extraordinaire aoc. in her eyes, the corpse on the problem, they are just trying to make ends meet. there's the smash and grab video that comes out daily and she said a lot of the allegations and organized retail fact are not actually panning out. i believe it's walgreens in california side of it but they didn't back it up with data. with all due respect, fix your glasses in your head. there's no question crime is surging next year push two different police and this morning on fox and lapd detectives said she's got no clue what she's talking about. >> there's rapid crime

everywhere and los angeles is like the movie purge 24 hours to commit your crime, they have 365 days to commit the crime tooth that's way more time. great odds for the people stealing stuff. she's getting mocked pretty heartily online so what will it take for people to wake up and recognize these might be pretty serious problems in bigger cities. let's get into it with tonight party panel on fox news radio as well as the political editor townhall.com, guy benson is here. fox news political analyst, juan williams and the delightful foundation for economic education writer in liberty activist, olivia is back, welcome everyone. what's the reason for seeing the

things we are seeing from saying that that's not happening. >> we see this a lot with progressives injecting racial indoctrination to schools from it's a figment of your imagination. right last summer, mostly peaceful, just calm down, don't worry your little head, right wing media so it's more of the same from aoc. they are so used to gas line or attempting to gaslight they can either ignore or flat out lie about video after video after video and insist people not trust what they are seeing with their own senses, seeing, hearing, never mind all that. it hasn't really panned out. we've seen the videos. here in washington d.c., there local news segments instructing people how best to avoid carjackings while pumping gas. it is not a figment of people's

imagination, it's not a right wing dream, this is real and more democrats, the more they ignore it or try to explain it or deny it, i think they do so very much at their peril because they seem rightly out of touch. the last thing is, part of the reason she does this and others like her do this, they don't want to have to grapple with the policy consequences of the things they advocate so rather than at the negative consequences grappling with them as serious people, they deny their existence which is a bold strategy. kennedy: but often times they go too far in the wrong direction and the pendulum swings back and when there is a crime surge, what you end up with is a larger police state with no reform at all and that's the opposite of what they claim they are talking about defunding police but it's a common tactic used when a

phrase or situation is no longer convenient. james complains this woke is the democrat in virginia aoc is like woke is not even a word, only people in their 50s use. shouldn't you say crime is rising in order to combat it effectively? >> but first of all, i was stunned when i read what she said because it made no sense to me because to me, i can look at the videos and see what's going on in here what is going on right here the complaints from retailers and walgreens as well as people at the jewelry store and designer fashion so i didn't know what she was talking about so i looked into it and saw there are people in the senate including republican louisiana talking about the people, these

young people we see are being used by people who get online on the internet so these birds at a certain prophet and the suggestion is that we need to focus on the people making money and behind getting these young people and that i don't think aoc was quite as clear because what she said opened her totally to the criticism she is getting but i will say in my mind, i don't know about the racial element, i think a lot of these kids look to be black and brown but the big argument is what allows them to think they can get away with it has to do with bail, immunity someone under 18 has they will be charged or not charged or taking goods under a certain amount, that is the real conversation here. kennedy: olivia?

>> i have to ask myself and i think we should all ask, what did the democrats have to gain by causing political unrest with black lives matter rise last summer creating looting, a catalyst for a smash and grab her smash and run type of robbery and what do they have to gain from creating political unrest that's allowed this to happen if tonight that is happening? my theory is aoc is basically acting like democrat run cities like washington d.c. and new york city and san francisco were petty robbery, under $1000 basically decriminalized. you can pick up whatever you want and walk out and you will be okay. i think they are painting this pick perfect image of the cities to basically trick conservatives and young people into thinking i'm a racist if i don't want to live here or think the city is perfect or don't like the way

the city is being run because i painted as a racial issue like looting in the black lives matter) taking advantage of a sad situation so this is not going to help police reform because it's either going to completely define police and ignore the problem or the pendulum will swing the other way and they will grow in size because it's not being addressed at all. kennedy: with no reform at all whatsoever. men were are you? both scenarios are pretty bad. party panel will stick around. both formal brothers are out of their jobs over the weekend. still denying he ever lied about helping his brother. former governor andrew cuomo signing off sexual allegations and now we are learning chris himself is hit with the sexual harassment claims.

soccer final mail in the crop and? here to discuss, the fox news channel, howard kirk. great to have you. what was affected chris cuomo and? he said cnn has known about this for a long time, the fact that he helped his brother and used sources journalistic and political sources to gather dirt on his brother's accuser, or the new sexual harassment claim which might be a decade old. >> i'll get to the and a second we've seen he's done nothing, no slap on the wrist or anything about chris cuomo's conduct. suddenly suspension mn highest profile firing, they couldn't get weight, they couldn't wait

to get out. chris cuomo didn't level with his champion and who hired him, but based on my reporting, the cuomo camp, here's what i think happened. he was starting to turn on zucker and was questioned in the media. why did you wait for this avalanche showing even more behavior by your top-rated host? kennedy: chris cuomo is gone but if is zucker still and hot water? is he still a target? chris cuomo released a statement but then clarified and said he knew everything from earlier in the year so does that mean the critical mass will align against zucker now? >> there's a harsh spotlight on him now and hasn't fully answered the questions.

it was always amazing to me all this coming out and basically saying nothing to see here. you mentioned this allegation, it's an anonymous accusation from a decade ago brought on by a lawyer, one of andrew cuomo's accuser to cnn think he engaged in an unspecified sexual misconduct, we don't know who's making the claim or what the claim is but based on my reporting the cuomo campaign this was the tipping., they deny it. they say chris didn't do anything of that nature of anything close to being alleged here for you can see there's a pr disaster in one go-round of stories about whoever this is and maybe that will come out, that makes the network but worse. kennedy: they are vulnerable right out. chris, get paid on his way out? >> that remains to be seen, usually when somebody that level

goes, there's negotiations and settlement, potentially as opposed there could be litigations like something like 6 million a year but cnn will argue he was terminated for cause and broke the rules and it is true he cost a lot of journalistic redlines and he was trying to feed information to the governors, a couple of andrew cuomo's accusers, that's how political operative operate. kennedy: if you have a couple of blowhards at cnn fighting for that spot including brian and jim acosta. any word on what will happen? >> i don't think cnn knows. it's obviously taken a hit in the ratings this year and o'clock eastern, a crucial spot but i think we are in the game of this will be good, how about this one? some even suggest perhaps a woman might get the job. kennedy: a woman you say?

women don't belong in primetime cable news, howard. you know that. >> i couldn't agree more. [laughter] that's why i am tossing that out to you thank you so much. >> great to see you. kennedy: coming up, alec baldwin could still be charged for his movie shooting death even after claiming he didn't pull the trigger. gun malfunctioned. our next guest is calling bs. filmmaker and dukes of hazard star joins me in moment. ♪♪

alec baldwin is not off the hook yet. santa fe district attorney says he could still be criminally charged for the killing of his cinematographer on the set of the movie rest. even though he was acting blameless in an interview at abc news, remember this? >> i take the gun and start to caulk the gun, i'm not going to pull the trigger. she said tilted down a little bit and i cocked the gun and can you see that? can you see that? she says now let go and then the gun goes off. >> there wasn't in the -- >> i didn't pull the trigger. >> you are not being worried

about being charged? >> i am not. kennedy: she believes the shooting was both clearly an accident but perhaps a criminal accident so should alec baldwin be worried? actor, filmmaker, musician and firearms enthusiast, perhaps best known from the dukes of hazard, one of only. >> thank you for that. what an unusual position to have wound up in here. you know? it is fascinating to me i honestly believe if this had happened to anyone else they would have immediately said oh my god, look what i have done. and then there would be a group -- say vatican. kennedy: they would have shown some duke.

>> there would have been people behind them saying no, no, no. it's not your fault, none of it makes any sense. absolutely none of it makes sense. they interviewed the other night -- it was embarrassing, it was foul. in my opinion, it was disgusting. kennedy: so you like to? you want to watch it again? >> it's against everything we know about the manatee. kennedy: i want to ask you this because obviously you've used firearms on all sorts of sets throughout your career, you know what it's like to be trained to use the firearms properly, you know to treat every weapon as though it's loaded and dangerous, all of those things but also, you know sometimes you shouldn't do an interview or sit

down because you can open yourself up to more liability. do you think he did that? >> i think he cost himself tremendous hurt. it needs to be investigated obviously in their investigating in new mexico and investigating it thoroughly but my concern is that it started to take a turn toward alec the victim. to his credit in the beginning of the interview he said i am not the victim here but at the end when he said i certainly don't have any guilt, no, no, no not me. that kind of threw that out. there are so many inconsistencies and things we are told we need to believe. for example, professionals armorer, and actor who spent acting very well for a long time, none of them checked the

weapon. that's difficult to believe. no one in a crew of 20 or 60, i don't know how many, no one to include the director and cinematographer whose life was lost, no one said before you pick the gun up, show me that it's empty. nobody did that. i find all of this hard to believe. then when alec said he didn't know he fired a shot until 45 minutes later, i think that's what he said, i might be misquoting but i think that's what he said, if you fire an actual 45 round without your finger on the trigger which i don't believe it's possible but if you were to do that, the recoil on that weapon, i just talked to steve wolf an hour ago, i gun expert everybody is listening to, if you were to do that, the gun would fly out of your hand and probably hit you in the poor had.

there is so much recoil on a 45 or 45 replica, there's no possible way you could not know something went wrong. kennedy: also, a replica is still a firearm. >> it's a .45 caliber. kennedy: he was saying it was a popgun. >> here's the thing, if someone hands you the weapon, someone who knows anything -- they would say be careful because it will take your arm off. that means the recoil is such that it will scare you. kennedy: do you think you will be charged happen, i think he could be charged criminally.

kennedy: we will see -- >> it's our responsibility as actors to check the weapon. everyone i know including george clooney, we disagree about everything except this. you check the weapon. kennedy: yes and he's been in films, he's been an actor long enough he knows that. he knows a lot of the responsibility rests on his shoulders not to mention -- >> i believe in arms instructor. kennedy: just like my brother. thank you for your time and i appreciate talking to you, thank you. come back. >> wonderful talking to you, who will talk under better circumstances next. kennedy: former under kamala harris, claiming she's a bully and it's a strong environment. that sounds fun. she's got nothing done plus the jussie smollett saga. he took the stand today defending himself against charges of hate crimes.

well it worked in his favor? the panel is here to discuss and moments. ♪♪

kamala harris being called a bully. by her own staffers according to the washington post. something tells me she'll just laugh it off. vice president has lost for high-profile members in recent days amid accusations fostering quote an abusive environment where people often mistreated and it might be forgiven if they do a great job sailing on all fronts. approval ratings reflect her performance and at least one staffer so issue really hard to work for or could the white house be leaking complaints to

stop her potential 2024 around? the party panel is back. olivia rondos. guy, what you do about kamala when she has so many problems and is this manufactured by the white house? to tank and cancel her? >> i think the problem for her is it a pattern but followed her throughout her entire political career. she's had staff turnover and disenchanted aids at every level of government. the common denominator there is not all of them, is her. most devastating detail" in the washington post story over the weekend was staffers saying she does not do the work. she doesn't put in the time to be prepared and when she embarrasses herself being unprepared, she berates them and yells and screams and blames other people and this is precisely how i behave when i fill in for you which is why

your staff is in constant terror of me. kennedy: i'm not going to go on vacation until 2025. [laughter] they won't let me leave. [laughter] right, i'm not a fan of the vice president. >> it's called high standard. kennedy: i would not. they are really trying to push her out, it's going to backfire, they are going to make her a victim so you were sitting her down, how would you tell her to recover from this? >> the thing about it is all most all politicians are said to be bullies and psychotic and narcissistic. it doesn't matter, they were going after amy. you can go after donald trump, too. they are not prepared, to me it's like the problem is she

looks to be in the job and she's not getting much credit or making much progress with the public in terms of public opinion poll but the biggest problem is biden is in far ahead of her and those public opinions. if he makes progress politically, the democrats see a resurgence, i think she will come with. kennedy: i don't think she's going to come far enough becausn i've seen a vice president pole that much worse, presidents always go through hard times. they always go through times where they are unpopular and pulling data bears that out in this president happens to have a bunch of crises, he's not doing a good job but i really feel if she were bad in doing a good job on the border and voting rights and everything else she was tasked with, people would appreciate that. people, believe it or not and i don't people don't want to see this, they want her to do well.

they really do. olivia, she's been wrong on pretty much every issue ever but i still think they are going about it the wrong way. how much of this is her responsibility? >> one 100% her responsibility. like everyone else on the panel has basically acknowledged, presidents, politicians, they go through heart stressful times. what she's going to do is use this situation and flip and stay they are quitting because i am black or a woman. my approval rating is low because i am a woman or jamaican or indian and that's not the case. she doesn't do enough to deserve a break or deserve some slack. she's had what, one press release? has she had any successful projects in her entire time in office? no. i'm confused what's stressing her out to the place of going up

on her staffers. she's always had complaining staffers and high rate of turnaround on staff and look at her prosecutor, she was throwing black men in mail for nonviolent drug offenses. i'm not convinced she's not a bully. she's probably just naturally a bully. kennedy: she's not even good at that. [laughter] she can't even get people out of the way who are saying bad things about her. now the trial of somebody kamala harris once called one of the kindest and most gentle people she knows, jussie smollett. fronts for other. the actor today took the stand to try to defend himself, he like to crops about a in 2019. he maintains he's innocent and says he's under oath, there is no help. problem is, last week two witnesses, the brothers testified he paid them to pretend to attack him. they even had a dress rehearsal. they shouted this is the country. now the defense is trying to

give credit to the brothers claiming jesse had a sexual relationship with one of them and they often did drugs together. guy, where that work? i'm not saying if i do drugs together they might have a sexual relationship. i'm asking if the defense is painting the brothers as drug addicts wanted to be famous by any means necessary. will that make the hoax apart go away? >> i don't understand how they are mutually exclusive like oh no, don't believe them because i hook up with at least one of them do lots of drugs with the. it's like okay, you are admitting two more crimes here? that does not absolve this from they think you are accused of. he is flailing, it's a national disgrace that this trial is not televised. it's high entertainment, the meghan people are being robbed of amazing theater, perhaps more

exciting performances of jesse's entire career on the witness stand today. tweeting quote after quote, if it weren't so disgusting, i think it would be funnier but it's so pathetic. i'm still discussed based on what he did and why he did it in the context in which he did it and the fact that he still, despite being totally humiliated, clinging to the story that i don't think even he believes because -- he shouldn't believe it at all, he knows it's a lie he made up, that's his problem. kennedy: as a gay man and gay journalist, are you offended by this? >> i am offended by a lot of it. including the victimhood thing where he was trying to fake a hate crime based on his alleged sexuality and race, and sometimes there are hate crimes against people because of the color of their skin or their sexual identity or sexual orientation and to claim that, pretend it happened to you for

basically attention in a pay raise while smearing trump supporters, smearing police which he did again today in court, that's the most distasteful thing he's done. >> i guess he's trying to undercut the people were testifying against him in every case where the two brothers or the police but i must agree with, i think charging. i'm trying to put myself in the position as a juror listening to this, i guess i might have some sympathy but my sympathy take is pretty low here because the brothers stories has been consistent all along. jussie's story, this is out of the blue now. i didn't know about this stuff. maybe i'm just a little behind but i didn't hear this before so to me, this is a guy desperate and reaching for something.

if i was on the jury, i wouldn't want to immediately discard it but it requires a high level of empathy for me to really buy into it. kennedy: i don't buy into it either. olivia, these things are not mutually exclusive, they could have gone to strip clubs, they could have been doing rails of blow off each other's dingdong's for hours at a time having a fantastic back out sunday and jussie smollett still could have hired them to fake a hate crime against himself. many things could happen and i don't think jurors are dumb enough to think there's a mutual exclusivity. >> absolutely. from the beginning i never believed the story. i always knew it was bs from the time he said he was out at 2:00 a.m. trying to get sub i. i don't know what type of insane person would attempt to put back

together in a plausible story. however, it is entertaining, i'd love to be in the courtroom and sit on the jury just for the entertainment value but the real crime, the real tragedy is this is not really the case that should be getting this attention that the maxwell trial should be on the media and recorded and streamed. kennedy: that is something we should see every day because i want people to know her involvement in sexually abusing these young women she trafficked out, not just jeffrey epstein. >> girls. kennedy: exactly, 14 years old. i want to see them tell their story under oath so people know what she's doing. maxwell is not a scapegoat. she is the devil. we will be following that case throughout the week as well but jussie happened to take the stand today. i hope elaine takes the stand today because she's a skewer
