joining me as the former mayor of new york city, bill de blasio. mr.rt of the conversation i had with jumani williams was about funding and the reaction to this event. he was worried the reaction of this event was going to be made a renewed focus on law department to the subway systemp his argument is this was more fundamental that more funding needs to go to preventing gun violence. obviously, we don't know about the motive here. we're talking in their ret cals at the moment. albany is not taking the root problem as seriously as it should and not allocating the funding toward getting guns off the streets in the first place, rather than the reactionary measures that happen after an event like this. i wonder what your take is. >> okay. first of all, we in new york city, we have been through this before. 2017, the pipe bomb attack in the subway, time's square. 2016 in the chelsea neighborhood, a horrible attack with pressure cooker bomb. we have been down this road and the first thing to recognize is that you have some individuals who will attempt to do

but to bring bill de blasio out to defend joe biden. i think it's just cruelty. >> laura: great to see you tonight as always. and look forward to reading your book. wait, i've time for one more question. oh, yeah, your new book and this is when i wanted to ask you about. the screen went blank, but it's coming out in just a short while. young people especially, i think they need to read this book because all day here in school too often is that government will take care of the problem. if we only had more government spending we will save the planet. why is this important now? >> it's important because when we did some work on the american majority of project we found that if you've created free-market capitalism against big government socialism, it was 59-16 that people have a choice. if you ask swing voters it was 82-18 and the reason is young people who might have said it sounds good to come out you put big government with socialism. they go, are you crazy? they have a pretty good idea. the government doesn't work. it's a huge amount o

but to bring bill de blasio to joe biden i think is just cruelty. now, newt, it's great to see tonight as always and i look forward to reading your book. i have way i have time for one more question. i say oh, yes and newt, your new book, this is what i wanted to ask you about the screen went blank, but it's coming out in just a short while. young people especially i think need to read this book because all they hear in school too often is that government will take care of the problem if we only had more government spending will save the planet if we only. so why is this important now? well, it's important because when we did some work on the american majority project, we found that if you put free market capitalism against big government socialism, it was fifty nine to sixteen . if people were given a choice and if you ask swing voters who was eighty two to eighteen and the reason is young people who might have said well socialism sounds good when you put big government with socialism they go are you crazy because they have a pretty good idea. big

here to discuss it all former mayor of new york city bill de blasio joins us.reverend al sharpton. creator and co-host of "the circus" on show time, mark mckinnon. good to see you. it has been year. >> it has been years, prefecture covid. >> ceo of all in together, a women's partisan civic organization, lauren, you have polls. what did you find? >> prices, prices, prices, the economy, the economy, the economy. it trump every other issue and it trumps it not just for democrats, for republicans, for voters of color, by across the board it is not even close. by double digits it is the most important issue. >> you break it down between men and women, how well is the economy working for you. this is interesting. >> women, particularly the economy is not working well for them. 58% of women say that the economy is personally not working well for them, that they are worried about the impact of prices on their ability to support their families, to pay for basic necessities. what is really interesting about the polls is that voters are pretty evenly split about who they

everything he can do but remember something he is of following the worst mayor in american history bill de blasiohing that ever happen to florida as you can imagine because everyone moved from new york to florida and to miami specifically. try to get this man a chance is a good guy's a former police cap and what he has to do. >> and kristen, what do you see here looking at new york and other cities where the rhetoric has changed, politicians previously embraced the defunding of a recklessness are now often saying that was a mistake. aren't we seeing the kind of changes that will make streets safer? >> not really unfortunately. the crime story is so sad it's open season for criminals and these democrat run cities. the radical leftists keep getting elected i think because much of the democrat voter base does not understand the consequences of far left. a lot of these voters leaving doorman protected buildings are very high end neighborhoods that are relatively safe so they keep voting for these nuts until the crime just gets so bad they start noticing it in their own lives and the water they do? th

but the damage has been done by a former mayor here in new york, bill de blasio.replaced so. >> emily: our law enforcement are not able to step to the microphone and speak their views publicly. and the elected officials who should be their voice and the advocates, their supporters like former mayor de blasio, those are who dropped their support and turned their back, shut off their support for law enforcement from opening the floodgates for this community culture war against law enforcement that hopefully is turning around. >> harris: that's why there's so much hope with this administration. i don't live in new york city but i know that's true for eric adams and the new commissioner. eric adams, a former cop for 22 years and a former republican. i think maybe people thought that -- he's talked about broken windows and some things and taken a lot of heat from the left. he is somebody who has spoken so eloquently. they both have, the cops killed here in new york city, that it takes more than all of that. it takes a growing number of people at every level of authorit

and former mayor, bill de blasio's addition of another 250 just last year.t. the nypd already has 36,000 officers. it has an annual budget of nearly 11 billion dollars. that is significantly more than the entire military budget of ukraine, that is currently fighting of the russians. and still, the most bloated police force in america was unable to stop a man from entering the subway, igniting smoke grenades, and using a glock pistol to shoot and injured ten people. subway security cameras well, they were busted. our responding officers radio, well, that wasn't working. he had to ask passengers to call 9-1-1 for him. and the suspect left police a treasure trove of identifying information, and somehow, somehow, still managed to flee all of those new transit cops by subway. and once he was above ground, he actually had time to stop. according to the crime stoppers line, reportedly from the suspect himself, finally tipped police off to his location. and he still managed to get away again. in the end, the suspect was captured, in part due to sharp new yorkers, in

>> yeah, i think it's undoing bill de blasio's policies which caused an extraordinary amount of damagenow you're dealing with a police force that's very demoralized. they're felt for years like they don't have political support. you've got a system of prosecutors and judges that subscribe to social justice ideas that are soft on crime, and it's a really difficult situation to try to confront, and it's going to take some time. paul kim, are we seeing a political backlash here where democrats are looking at this and going, uh-oh, we're in trouble and we gotta back away from the defund the police or attacks on the police? >> yeah, you're seeing that everywhere. and at philadelphia those numbers that you described, i think, were very, very notable not just the mayor there proposing new raises for the police department, you have city council members who are putting out their own safety plans, also proposing bonuses to try to refill the ranks of the philadelphia police department which has huge openings at the moment. you know, and a lot of these liberals who not so long ago were active hi c

new york's last mayor, bill de blasio, disbanded the plainclothes units that did a lot of this work. >> adams: we were so far in the wrong direction of, really, abusive policing in our city, and country, that people got so fed up that they turned the ship too far in the wrong direction. there is-- >> cooper: too far to the left, you're saying? >> adams: to the left. there is a middle ground. we only talk about, "how do we protect the rights of those who commit a crime?" how about start talking about, "how do we protect the rights of people who are doing the right thing?" >> cooper: there's probably a lot of liberals who are concerned you're a republican. >> adams: listen, there are 8.8 million people in this city, 30 million opinions, but there's one mayor that's going to make the decisions. ( humming ) >> cooper: adams is nothing if not confident. watching him walk down the street, you'd never notice the weight of the city's problems on his shoulders. you've talked about swagger.

. >> ainsley: the message to mayor eric adams, when he took over for bill de blasio, people were hopinghe subway. >> brian: he said he would. >> ainsley: they catch this guy. i don't know if they were down there, but this guy got away. some of the cameras down in the subway, and up on the street were not working and you said, what, 10, 11 years ago. you toured the headquarters of the politician station all the cameras. >> brian: unbelievable. you see the black screen, wouldn't that be an indication that something is wrong. >> ainsley: you need to fix it. >> steve: indicate probably have a lot of black screens where the cameras are not working at any time. however, this is a gigantic embarrassment for the city. the subway doors on the train didn't open. people were trying to get out of one train and get into another. cameras didn't work. and, you know, i don't see a single transit cop down there. this just adds to the fact as lauren was talking about people -- you know, after covid people weren't riding. they were trying to get ridership back. but this is not going to help. people are no

number of felony assaults since last may when a string of high-profile crimes prompted then mayor bill de blasiorols in the subway system but even now that doesn't seem to be working. stu. stuart: indeed. let's get to philadelphia where they're seeing a dramatic rise in carjackings. jeff flock is there. jeff, what are the police saying about this? reporter: well, they're overwhelmed in a word, stuart. this is the 14th district police headquarters here. yeah, all over the city, it is not just philadelphia but philadelphia is one of the worst spots. chicago also. i don't know the cities i live in somehow are bad. 160% up over last year. crazy in philadelphia. and, i talked this morning to the deputy, former deputy commissioner of police in philadelphia, who said it is kind of a perfect storm. you got, you know, you got a situation where the pandemic has left a lot of kids with nothing better to do, out of school, that kind of thing. not community programs for them. and then, you don't have enough police officers out there. there are hundreds of police down in fill self. in philadelphia. he said th

bill bratton is wrong on that. mayor adams is, you know, i can't think of one thing that he has done that has been good with regard to criminal justice. with all the slap that de blasioown at a record low. the nypd was not arresting a ton of people under de blasio. i never thought that i would be a de blasio fan at this moment. adams is out here bringing, it don, looks like kenneth. that when i look at george w. breath i look at ronald reagan. that response, homicides have risen during the pandemic about 25% and that is huge. but that is nowhere near violent crime. and when we're talking violent crime, were nowhere near the 90s. but people think it's like that because of the political narrative. that is someone who studies of stuff, how frustrated do you see with the sentiment of defund the police? and he like more pioli bowl talk about defunding the police and we actually have work done? >> i think that's true. and i also wanna point out, the journalist nick wing pointed this out this week. the one time the police minister had said that bill reform was causing crime, was when he was in albany, testifying under oath. and suddenly, at that point under oath, he suddenl
