where is alvin bragg? should come out on the steps of the courthouse right now and say you will be protected. justice has been adjudicated in this building. you will not riot tonight. we will come after people who do. where is his voice? >> where were those prosecutions when we saw what were essentially riots on our campuses, buildings being op pied. us theed toance grabbed and kidnapped. where was alvin bragg for those prosecutions? he is selective. let's hope he is professional enough to calm the waters. he has swung and missed again and he should be looking at his tenure here as district attorney because at the same time that we have violent crime double digit rise in manhattan in his jurisdiction, he is wasting his time with 34 counts against donald trump that he picked out of the air and then this case, which any new yorker who has taken the subway ask yourself, harris, we've talked about this, would daniel penny have done anything different had jordan neely been white and behaving this same way? of c

alvin bragg to calm things down. if you are a citizen in the city of new york and your business is burned or your car is burned, i think you have a legal case against the city of new york if they don't step up and tried to stop the threats that have been coming for hours this morning? >> here are the interesting thing here is that we have not heard from alvin bragg, but he has heard from the people of new york, behind that mob outside the courthouse is the rest of new york, and i think that we have already seen that new yorkers are fed up with the policies of alvin bragg and many others, this jury is new york, they were selected from this population, they did not just immediately acquit, they deliberated, they divided and ultimately they came together on the lesser charge. keep in mind that this lesser charge, they could have secured conviction by just deciding that he had what was called blameworthy conduct, i mean, it's an incredibly low standard, and they said no. now that it's after of course rejecting the higher

>> alvin bragg's office did everything they could to put him in jail. police did not arrest him. it was ten days later that they decided to indict him and that's after al sharpton came in and everybody said this case is about race. alvin bragg's office should be criticized for the fact that they tried to make it about race. i want you to remember a couple of things. number 1, there were minorities on that jury. number 2, there was a hispanic and a black who assisted danny in holding down jordan neely. number 3, on the subway car the people were blocked, hispanic and white. nothing about this was racial. they want to make this about race. this case was not about race. this was a case were the d.a. office did everything they could including win this case should have been dismissed, they decided to dismiss the top count , hoping the jury would come back on monday and compromise on homicide. they didn't do that. alvin bragg's office tried to weapon eyes daniel penney's military service against him. as though the fact that he was a marine, the fact that he d

it all goes back to alvin bragg. he has failed the citizens of new york who live in fear of the crazed people he let out of prison, in fear of what they will do to us and what will happen to us if we intervene. san francisco got rid of their radical da and los angeles dismiss george gascon. if new york wants to make a comeback the first step is to get alvin bragg out and have him take his dangerous woke policies with him. second hour of varney just getting started. deroy murdoch is with us this morning. black lives matter outside the courthouse threatening violence, that's not good for new york. >> there was nothing mister penny set on the subway, you are black or any racial slurs. if this had been a black person being choked you wouldn't have heard about it. a -- he would probably be hero, so it is racialized and ugly and we are talking black vigilantism. i'm glad he did what he did. too bad the man died, but he said someone will die today unfriending people who were terrified. he is mentally ill, somebody stepped u

this is a crime that occurred in new york, in new york city, in alvin bragg's jurisdiction. it would be something that right now for everything that we know and the hifacts that have been released would be a state and local crime, so this is something that alvin bragg and the new york d.a.'s office would handle. i yothink there may be other issues that him crossing federal lines and crossing interstate lines sicould potentially play role in terms of what is charged, but the lion's share of what we're talking about is absolutely under bothe purview alvin bragg's office.al right now, i think there are several routes that prosecutors could have to a conviction in tthis case. i absolutely agree in terms of physical evidence, the silencer, the gun, and ballistics matching is probably the most sure fire way e of making sure that the individual responsible is held to account.ld but in addition to that, i think when you're talking about what's taactually charged, don't underestimate the value of the manifesto, because what that is going to do is it is going to show a degree of preme

here is da alvin bragg good afternoon. >> i'm alvin bragg. manhattan district attorney. i'm honored and privileged to be joined by police commissioner jessica tisch. first and foremost, i want to extend my deepest condolences to mr. thompson's loved ones and colleagues. his family deserves our respect as they continue to grieve our work will never be able to undo the fact that a life was lost. we are here to announce that luigi mangione, the defendant, is charged with one count of murder in the first degree and two counts of murder in the second degree, including one count of murder in the second degree. as an act of terrorism for the brazen, targeted and premeditated shooting of brian thompson, who, as you know, was the ceo of unitedhealthcare. this case was made possible by the collaborative efforts of the phenomenal public servants you see before you today, and so many others who are not here. um, i'm honored to lead the manhattan district attorney's office and privileged to serve alongside assistant district attorneys joel seidman, kristin bailey, and zachary kaplan,

is this against alvin bragg? who does this go against? >> it goes against alvin bragg for the way in which he handled this case and ethical lines that were blurred. medical examiner's office, chief graham, for his involvement in the case. it is not breaking the law, blurring boundaries and failing to act in the manner expected because of your office. a lot of this came out at trial and it was clear there was fear if an arrest wasn't made and made quickly there might be rioting in the streets and that may look very bad for district attorney alvin bragg. >> lawrence: couple things there. take the alvin bragg aspect of it. daniel wasn't even arrested. the cops let him go. the d.a. went in after protesters were out in the street. you cannot have a criminal justice system governed by protesters. you go to the medical examiner, which provided joke of a testimony. you didn't consider all the drugs in the alleged victim's system as way death? you didn't look at any of thats. and a forensic pathologist goes through the drugs and the sickle cell an

stop electing soft on crime radicals like alvin bragg. another daniel penny's innocence and the shame of alvin bragg. fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett writes bragg has done lasting damage. another here daniel penny may have been acquitted but the bad guys still won. the "new york post" cover, enough is enough. jurors reject bragg's indictment of a man who protected subway riders. kerri, i come to you on the legality of some of what was said yesterday. that was a small little clip from that man calling for black vigilantes. there were also threats from a blm leader, i guess is what you would call her yesterday. a lot of news conferences to burn stuff down in the city, to burn cars. those are threats. those are promises of violence. alvin bragg should be busy today on that. >> it doesn't come as a surprise that blm said what they said. they are a discredited and disgraced organization that is driven by racism and bullying and, you know, we never see them showing up in chicago with all of the gang warfare going on there when you have all

he's having a hard enough time. >> harris: manhattan district attorney alvin bragg has filed a brief se against incoming president trump not to drop the case. trump's attorneys as you know just last week exactly one week ago today were arguing that trump has presidential immunity and other constitutional protections. bragg's team wants trump to be sentenced after a jury found him guilty of falsifying business records. here is a quote. the extreme remedy of dismissing the indictment and vacating the jury verdict is not warranted in light of multiple alternative accommodations that would fully address the concerns raised by presidential immunity. >> it is not a surprise the manhattan d.a.'s office is refusing to dismiss the case. what is a surprise in the filings today in over 80 pages they're telling the judge the preservation of our verdict is important. shows you just how far they've gone in an attempt to preserve this jury verdict that they think is fundamental to the constitutional value of the jury process. >> harris: alina habba is here. is this good news for the former president

alvin bragg is a disgrace. i have said that for years. i have said that under what he did to president trump and i can assure you as counselor to the president when i get in the administration i will make sure that this is not happening again. it is very disturbing to me. we have pam bondi in the attorney general's office. tremendous. people making sure these types of attacks on individuals while migrants run loose and people can't go to parks and people are afraid to take subways, that this exact thing does not happen. alvin bragg has made a shame of new york. he has ruined our city. and it is really -- we have no place for it in america anymore. i can assure you on january 21st i will be putting my head down to make sure whatever we need to do to make sure this doesn't happen does not happen again. >> bill: thanks for coming on. see you in washington soon. alina habba. thank you. >> dana: thank you. >> thank you. >> will be delivered in this case. this case is hinged on attention. in fact, the attention in this case and the killing of b

then i got to skip over to alvin bragg.clay. >> when you asked earlier was trump recognize head needed to go after a new audience and he went off the new audience. from minus 14 to plus 14 according to the "wall street journal" because he went after a new up tapped audience, unlike kamala. >> martha: thank you. epp with have breaking news in new york. so manhattan d.a. alvin bragg and commissioner jessica tisch are speaking after announce, the indict of luigi mangione after the murder of brian thompson. let's hear. >>> we are here to announce that luigi mangione, defendant, is charged with one count of murder in the first degree and with the count of murder in the second degree. including one count of murder in the second degree as an act of terrorism. for the brazen targeted and premeditated shooting of brian thompson, who as you know if the c.e.o. of unitedhealth. this case was made possible by the collaborative efforts of the phenomenal public servants you see before you today and so many others who are not here. i'm hon

it's a failure on the part of alvin bragg.ied this case for political racial reasons, for ten days this case was sitting there. he decided to prosecute, and the jury said no. it's very clear that alvin bragg goes after people that basically if politically motivated. he went after trump and he went after this individual because the suspect was black and the jury said no. >> yep, and what do you make of this idea that after the judge dismissed the more serious charge regarding manslaughter that alvin bragg came back to the judge and said we've got to give the jury another charge. let's go with the negligent homicide charge and the judge said okay and gave another charge of the jury and they went away for the weekend and came back this morning and said it's just not there. we haven't proven what we need to bring back the conviction. what do you think of what some people say is the game the manhattan prosecutor was playing? >> let me be very clear. alvin bragg was gaming the system. when you file charges, you start off with the ch

>> the question is who really is the constituency of alvin bragg?aw many of those voices outside the courthouse that were filled with rage and anger at this verdict. some even threatening penny not to remain in new york city but beyond that mob mob is the rest of new york city. they need to look at this case in a more broad sense. this is what you have come to. you have a prosecutor who takes an individual like this who should be celebrated as a hero. in fact, was celebrated by a hero by people in that car and have you prosecuted him and fortunately other people stepped forward to help support him. but, that's the message that's being sent. you step forward. don't look for support. in fact, we could very welcome after you. >> lawrence: yeah. and if we don't prosecute you, then we can just drain you for money. and you won't be able to live in this city anymore. >> that's right. >> lawrence: a sad state of affairs. the system did work. we are grateful for that professor, thanks for joining the program. >> thank you, lawrence. >> lawrence: you got it.

why are you running against alvin bragg?othing more important than public safety to get back to the place we know it needs to be and alvin bragg will never deliver the public safety we need. stuart: you going to be him in an election, can't just have him dismissed. >> of course. at this moment in time is when new yorkers are looking for the right ideas and the right policy. i don't think this is going to be a straight party vote because new yorkers that is not going to restore the city. stuart: you are a democrat, now you are running as a republican. can republican win any office in new york city? >> i brought forth the best ideas, defunding the police, against the problems in our schools and the democratic party close their ears to the best ideas they need to fix new york, and when it comes to public safety. >> we need to restore meritocracy. and we need to focus on the literacy crisis in our schoolsr education to public safety, we need to have a solid education so children have a path of opportunity and don't wind up -- st

i saw the people that signed that alvin bragg filing for donald trump and that's todd blanch and bovyttorney general nominee and the solicitor general role is the one they want to give to emile bovy. and they are still putting in the filings the most out ramg s comments. it stelflirts with a violation of conduct but they are clearly egregious. these are people that trump wants in controlling positions in offices that empath everyone and not just a select few americans. >> i could not agree more with what you are saying. i know both of them and worked with both of them. i think a lot of my colleagues and said yeah, they are real prosecutors unlike a matt gaetz who was never a prosecutor. they are real prosecutors who know how to do their job. those people have not been paying attention to what they have been doing in these cases. you had judge chutkan say there is a pattern in your filings of political rhetoric and it is unbefitting of experienced defense counsel to put that kind of political rhetoric in exchange for legal arguments. here they had legal arguments to make about why a di

alvin bragg... targeted him because he was white. then manipulated evidence to turn a hero into a villain. 's lead prosecutor outrageously referred to penny as the white man, the white defendant. in the end this diverse jury refused to buy into the race baiting which means that now and again, justice is vindicated. the question is will bragg now tried to recharge penny on the manslaughter counts that he dismissed, and can't do it. wants the jury was sworn in, double jeopardy attaches and forecloses the retrial. so it's over for him and hopefully new yorkers will wake up from their slumber and kick him out of office next year so that it's really over four alvin bragg. >> why would that happen? alvin bragg will be rewarded for what he did in this case. you will be rewarded for going after donald trump even though the statute of limitations had passed. it was a legal nda put together by a lawyer labelled as a legal expense. those 34 charges against donald trump that never should have happened. nor should this case have ever been brought

alvin bragg.ign for politicizing justice with the daniel penny and the trump cases. crime is rising in new york under him, but he's still going after trump. plus this story -- >> -- these health care executives, would that make you even more joyful? >> no, that would not -- >> why not? [laughter] why are you laughing? elizabeth: that was far-left writer taylor hour sens d -- hover lens, in a sick way taking joy in the execution of a ceo murdered, a father and a husband. coming up, jason chaffetz takes that on. plus, the latest on a suspect fighting extradition the face charges in the assassination of the ceo of united health care. let me correct mikes jason rantz is going to join us. also ian prior, he's going to take on that other story. and why this, why the majority of america is getting rid of dei. rutgers and "usa today" say it wrong hi divided america. wrongly divided. plus, why are government workers now scrambling to clean out their social media accounts ahead of trump? what exactly are th

same political party as alvin bragg. there was collusion there.e collusion began from the very beginning of this case and all the way through. the district attorney needed the medical examiner and needed the medical examiner to act quickly. and he did just that. >> brian: so, first off, how concerned were you after donald trump got convicted by this new york jury in a case that no one thought had validity, including democrats. what were you thinking knowing that you had a case coming up right after that? >> yeah, so that's a great point. because, to be honest with you, it was scary, and for us from a defense perspective, we honed in on the most important part of the case was going to be jury selection. because, that was going to be the biggest challenge is to get a fair jury and from everything that we did all the steps we took and advisers we put in place. it worked out it really did it was close and difficult. that's where the key battle was waged. >> lawrence: people look at you as a criminal defense attorney but you were in the prosecutor's of

alvin bragg. rejecting the claim of presidential immunity and denying that he has new protection now that donald trump is the president-elect. joining us now, legal correspondent lisa ruben. so explain this ruling by the judge. >> there were a number ever motions on the table so i'm glad you're giving me the opportunity to explain the ruling because it addressed one but not all of the things that he wants from judge merchan. he asked for the judge to set aside the jury's verdict on the grounds of presidential immunity decision. not because he was immune from the charges themselves, but rather because the jury's verdict was premised on evidence for which he had immunity. specifically evidence that came from his first term as president. whether it was conversations for example with his then communication director hope hicks or tweets that he had issued about michael cohen at the time of his presidency. the argument was the jury relied on so much evidence that came from trump's official conduct that

alvin bragg is the coward. >> right, professor? what recourse? >> put together a group of people we ought to put together a group of people to put to put a candidate on the democratic primary. he must be defeated. last time he was opposed by a brilliant young woman lawyer, but beaten. this time he's going to lose because he has two major cases. the trump cas, which he's trying to manipulate so that there can't be an appeal because there is an appeal that would be reversed. >> what the penny case new york city professor, that's not the person you want. but let me ask you this. what recourse is available if you have either prosecutorial or judicial misconduct? what recourse is there for citizens that maybe want justice, not a lawsuit? >> the supreme court protected other judges in a horrible case by saying there's total and absolute judicial and prosecutorial immunity, and they're the same people who complain that that trump is above the law because he has constitutionally protected presidential immunity. we have to have a single standard here and

however, alvin bragg being an elected official felt as his constituents wanted blood they wanted arrest as it related to daniel penny and that's why he drove forth the charging handle and had daniel penny indicted and put up against the court and literally ruin his life for months and finally the jury got it right. when you speak to the police department, absolutely we think of the social contract affords us as common citizens protections within government and it was apparent i want to say the backfill of the nypd police officer was not there. the nypd is thousands of officers in the red, people just don't want to take the job. as a result we had to avoid officers on the train. david: can you blame them not wanting to take the job when they're not supported by the prosecutor and the judge is that very often that criminals back out on the street? >> i cannot blame them. when we look at the dcom police movement that happened a couple of years ago after george floyd incident, it was not just new york but on a national level there was a chaotic push against police. fortunately the elective

manhattan district attorney alvin bragg reacting to marine veteran daniel penny walking free today, sayinge juries quote lengthy deliberation and totality of the facts and the evidence underscored why this case was put in front of a jury of mr. penny's peers. let's bring in someone running on the republican side to unseat alvin bragg as manhattan district attorney. good to have you with us. you have a long career as a trial attorney in new york city and you would like to be the next d.a. for manhattan. what's your reaction to the way that bragg brought this case? the charge and what he hoped would happen apparently did not happen today. >> i think a lot of new yorkers breathed a sigh of relief with this verdict because this was the case it should not have been. it shouldn't have gone to a jury. it too many new yorkers have been on the same kind of subway where there is a person who is mentally ill or on drugs or both and is acting in a violent or threatening way. i've been there. lots of other new yorkers have and what daniel penny did was simply not criminal. it's tragic that the person w

and i think, frankly, enough of alvin bragg.y who rode the subway for years, it can be pretty chilling when these characters come through and everybody'sen on edge. daniel penny didn't get on the subway looking to harm someone. he obviously didn't want to kill him. and yet some in the media and elsewhere are trash thing penny for doing exactly what you just pointed out, which was, you know, putting hymn at risk and getting -- himself at risk and getting the guy in a chokehold, and a lot of people on that subway car were grate grateful. >> that's right. and there is this pattern to racialize all of these types of incidents. and, you know, we just might be better than that narrative. but there are many people who want to play to that narrative for other reasons. this wasn't about race, this was an individual who was protecting other people of different races on that train. and instead of commending him, the district attorney tried to convict him. and the jury here said, no. howard: does that surprise you in. >> it was -- what surp

that's a new charge you don't hear too much in manhattan especially from alvin bragg. charges mangione could face life in prison without parole. the federal indictment is coming. we've heard about what was in it but still get more information from the feds. the charges making headlines is murder through use of a firearm. he could face a death penalty in found guilty. the legal team says the different cases are in conflict with each other. they tried to push back on that. it looked like a scene from a movie. this case has captured the country including protestors saying free luigi mangione and calling for more ceos to be held accountable in the healthcare industry. covering lots of crime i have never seen like this where protestors cheering on somebody for killing a ceo. let's pull up the shooting video how it all started earlier last month. police say mangione planned this attack for months and waiting for brian thompson outside of a hotel in mid town manhattan and opened fire. the gun he used was printed on a 3z printer. that could bring more charges. the dad of two w

and alvin bragg wanted nothing more than to make this a race issue. afterwards want to continue making it a race issue. but honestly, i have a message to eric adams because right now i feel like he's in a very emboldened plac. he should make daniel penny in charge of cleaning up the subway system, make him the schizophrenic homeless czar of the city. and i'm telling you, people would be thankful for that. >> i like that. >> the whole process. did you find it weird when first the jury came back, hung and then they got the judge to throw it out so they could go after a lesser charge? i found that really strange, and i can't remember a time where i've seen that was that i'm the only one who was like, wait, he's really focused on getting some kind of conviction, more so than justice, right? when it comes to alvin bragg. >> you know what it tells me? it tells me he overcharged. right? if you're willing to throw out your top charge immediately just to try and get the guy, you're not worried about justice or even application of the law here. you're worried a

maria: look what alvin bragg has been focusing on.iel penny. your fear walking around in new york they do nothing to get stabbed, killed, log i the venezuelan getting trend day or walk. >> absolutely nothing, local politicians in the city saying they want to protect the migrants from donald trump. i heard that. the progressives in the city i hope the days are numbered we have elections here in a year. >> we can't walk into cbs and buy toothpaste without getting someone to unlock the two pacers no quality of life because crimes under $750 is not prosecuted as a crime. >> petty crime leads to larger crime. you find it odd that so much about this luigi mangione person that went nuts and killed the united healthcare ceo and we still don't know much about the assassin that tried to take on donald trump. >> this is all by design. they truly made it a hero versus a victim mentality. the heroes are not being celebrated like daniel penny, remember the blm movement leader he said there's going to be riots and bloodshed, where is alvin bragg. in

and you don't want that for the next alvin bragg and jack smith and next liz cheneys.nd so i think it's a tough call. i think it's a tough call on terms who you decide to pardon. and then, i think very separate issue is individualized one about whether people should accept the pardon and cheney or alvin bragg or jack smith should and that's an individual call. i don't think there's anything that i can say sort in terms what have they should do. >> that's their personal decision. >> how did you feel? >> i didn't do anything wrong. i feel like this is horrible. i think about this in terms of the country, and in terms of the fact we are sitting at this table having this conversation. and covering stories about people using the legal system to undermined the rule of law, which is an irony to nd all ironies for someone who is a lawyer who worked for the department of justice but a defense lawyer for 30 years. >> well, we will naivegate gate it together. >> yes. >> thank you for your time and thoughts and all you do. andrew weissman great to see you. >>> still to come, he is

marin will challenge alvin bragg. on "fox & friends." >> alvin bragg came into this office with his day one memo which was wrong in so many different ways. he is ending his term now with this daniel penny case, right? this will be his legacy that he tried to prosecute a young man with no criminal record who served his country honorably and who did what many people in the subways would hope, which is to be a brave young man and step up and try to protect people on the subway. >> dana: that sentiment is also part of th here. anyone who rides a subway. there are many of them. a lot of people in new york want to work and get there on time and not bothered by this kind of thing on the subway. >> the jury was asked how often do they ride the subway? all if not most were occasional to every day subway riders. and so you just have to ask the average new yorker what is the subway like and they'll tell you it is pure chaos. i think the crime statisticians pretend crime, it is so complicated. is it up or down. when you see what'

it's nice to see alvin bragg pushing for something besides a meat lover's pizza. okay, so, kat, the do you think that they are just going to let this fade away, that they can't give it up right now? they just they know that trump seems to be winning and winning big, but they can't face their supporters because they promised. >> yeah, i really do feel like it's the same thing as what i talked about. the people, they're in too deep. yeah, it's like people don't realize it actually is an option to say you've learned something. people will do anything rather than say, you know what, i might not have been right about that. i've learned something and people just won't do that for some reason. i mean, the hush money case, i know personally several people who hate trump still and voted for him because of the hush money case. yeah, because they were so disturbed by this. you know, trump saying that he's not above the law when really no one ever has been charged in this way before. so clearly the law was always above charging anyone else. so clearly political that disturbed

but this is not what alvin bragg intended to do. was to prosecute daniel penny by any means necessary. and daniel penny is an american hero because he stepped up to assist people that didn't have the ability to to protect themselves on that subway car. so when we look to the process that's happening, it's now become something more is how can we catch and convict daniel penny as best as possible as opposed to letting -- [audio difficulty] will: i think we lost the connection there a little bit with dr. darren porcher, but we got much of the information we hoped to get this morning, and we appreciate him. >>> coming up, trump assembling his border team before his inauguration. the latest on his nominees next. my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis held me back. now with skyrizi, i'm all in with clearer skin. ♪ things are getting clearer ♪ ♪ ♪ yeah... i feel free ♪ ♪ to bare my skin yeah that's all me. ♪ ♪ ♪ nothing is everything ♪ ♪ with skyrizi 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months. and most people were clearer even

this does seem to qualify and i have been quite critical at that alvin bragg. in this instance, i think the terrorism charge was not an overreach. if you read the statute, terrorism would apply. one of the things the federal government, and i have been there, does not like the states dipping into the terrorism world. don't underestimate the impetus of that charge coming in here relative to the feds decision to take things over. >> john: when you take a look at the circumstances and what is alleged to have happen, mangione was allegedly upset with health care industry, but according to reports that we have seen, neither he nor his mother or clients or subscribers have unitedhealthcare. so, if you are on the streets of new york city with a gun that is partially homemade. and you are lying in wait for a health care executive that you know will be coming by who you really have no personal association that we know of and you had allegedly murdered that person, does that not fit the definition of an act of terrorism? >> i think that is a very good point. that is very
