as far as d.a. bragg is concerned, is there someone more out of touch with new yorkers than d.a. trust at the d.a.'s office says we should go softer on crime. that guy has been arrested 46 times. he was out on parole when he did this grand larceny. the d.a.'s office thinks it's a good idea to reduce the charge. you don't cut a deal with a repeat felon like this. it tells cops, we don't care about the risk you are taking. if you have people, politicians in the your communities who aren't embracing law and order. you need to hold them accountable and vote them out. theho consequences are deadly. lawrence: i thought the whole point of criminal justice reform is when civil liberties were violated. they have rap sheets longer than cvs receipts. this is the wife of a cop that had some fired up rhetoric for those leaders who aren't doing anything about this. >> steadily it has gotten worse over the past two years because of the politics, the choices they havers made to throw our officers away. lawrence: what is your reaction, agent *. sergeant. >> it's hard to hear her say that but it's

d.a.'s like bragg?u know, i certainly hope that holding the loudest and strongest office in the entire country could hold a little bit of sway with local politicians to put pressure on them, but this is an all hands on deck approach. everyone should be talking about the violence that's going on in our communities and condemning that violence. our urban communities are being disproportionally impacted by the violent crime. they deserve to have safe streets, and unfortunately they don't because local politicians are robbing them of that, no pun intended, because they don't have the spine to stand up to criminals. griff: highlighting what you're talking about, the crime here blocks from where i'm sitting in the d.c. studios, we had a carjacking this week. listen to the sheer terror in this woman's voice. watch. >>, [screaming] >> joe, when you watch video like that, and then you see d.a. bragg starting to reverse, perhaps, his prosecution priorities, do you think that we're going to get to a better place i

. >> ashley: then you have situations where d.a. bragge gascon are lowering felonies to misdemeanors, letting people back on the street to commit for crime. do you think if there is more pushback, they are getting pushback and may have to go back to the drawing board, do you thank you might turn the table and we might see a change? >> of course. unfortunately your network is one of the only networks covering the spike in crime and the reason for rising crime rates. the problem is, before they change, if they do, or get voted out of office hopefully, there will be thousands of crimes commit, hundreds of dead bodies all over the streets. they pretend they are doing this because there is systemic racism in the criminal justice system. there isn't. only way to uproot the criminal justice system is to do this. it is pro-criminal, by the way, not pro-victim. >> ashley: they have a lot to clean up whoever takes their place. cully stimson, thank you, have a good day. >> todd: senior meteorologist janice dean here. happy friday, j.d. >> janice: th

as far as bragg is there someone more out of touch with new york citiers than d.a. braggcent win pack poll said 74% new yorkers saw crime as a problem and in d.a. trust thinks we should go softer on crime to talk about criminal you mention that guy has been arrested 46 times. 46! and he was out on parole when he did this grand larceny and d.a. think it is a great idea to reduce charge. you do not cut a deal with a repeat felon like this. sh and what it really tells the community and what it el it is victims is they'll give a damn about you it tells cops we don't care about risk you're taking to all of your viewers if you have people politicians in your community that are not embracing laws and order you need to get loud and talk about it. you need to hod them accountable and vote them out because consequences are deadly. lawrence: i thought whole point of criminal justice reform was when civil liberty were violated or when criminals reform theirive loos -- but that's not what's happening in progressive city these people continue they have wrap sheets longer than cvs recei

d.a. bragg can't wait until nyc is in mourning to get it right. his change in course is after the ambush murders of two officers. crime continues to spiral out of control. overall crime up by nearly 40% compared to the previous year. your reaction. >> it shows you the power of community engagement when you speak up in a loud, unified voice you have more power than you realize but sad the death of two cops had to be the ultimate catalyst that pushes this over the top to get him to move in this direction. but for the people who are outraged and frankly devastated by the deaths of these two officers, rivera and mora, i don't think their families would mind that that turns you into an activist in their memory and honor to find the guts to speak out against these light on crime positions and politicians who are creating an environment that makes it easier not just for cops to be killed but for everyday citizens going about their day to be injured. businesses to go under and having to deal with all the shoplifting. at some point people need to speak up

d.a. alvin bragg. patient pressure has been put on him he seems to be reversing course.in a major way. >> let me tell you, alvin bragg, the new york city partnership put a lot of pressure on him she represents 200 companies in new york city. i know there's pressure all over the place. she has to learn. wins for governor in november, then guess what she has a right to remove him for it but i'm not sure he's going to remove him and tell them. he has to make sure he does his job. i am not against him. they have got to do their job and keep the citizens of new york city safe. that's what it is. jackie: absently, i walk around everyday jon look at the city what has happened after covid over the course of the last two years and i say to myself, until the streets are safe we are not going to open up in earnest. i want to switch gears though with you for a moment, we are also seeing a record inflation, right? food prices overall surging 7% lesser beef, bacon, chicken, ham they're all up in the double digits. goldman sach's is predicting will see another increase of five -- 6% th

d.a. alton bragg downgrades the sentence. he said he was going to do this. now it's happening.at these criminals are still getting off pretty easily? >> that's what happens when you have states that essentially have one party rule in new york and california and elsewhere. also what happens when you adopt felony coddling policies under criminal justice reform. it isn't criminal justice reform. if you want criminal justice reform put career criminals and thugs behind bars and keep them there and protect the law abides and decent citizens of your states. what needs to be asked why these liberal d.a.s, democrats are so beholden to the thugs, the felons and the criminals and not beholden to the citizen these are supposed to protect. that is the question that needs to be asked. i'm not sure we will get an answer. it begs the question and more people need to ask it. >> todd: "the washington post" editorial board no fly list for passengers who don't obey mask mandates on flights. what does a statement like that tell you about the mindset of the. itself and the people ultimately work in

d.a. alvin bragg. crime is up in his harlem neighborhood. one saying, if i saw the d.a.reet, i would slap him in the face. people with horrible charges don't get incarcerated and are roaming free. this is washington heights subway station, the victim was threatened with knife issue the police are searching for the suspect. >> todd: rise of progressive soft on crime policy. joining me is alex barcamsky. what was the final straw for you? >> thank you so much. it is so good to be with you. with the show and the -- sense. i've been listening to the forecast for today. the forecast is fine, i understand issue not forecast for democratic party. forecast for democratic party is not good. well, it just, it was relatively easy decision, no-brainer really. the rise of defund the police movement gave us a choice stand with police or stand with democrats. alec brook-krasny. i was democrat in the assembly and carried bills that wouldn't be exactly bills for a member of democratic party. for example, a bill that would for capital punishment for cop killers or punishment for the senior

we need more cops and criminal justice system that will lockup criminals, go after d.a. bragg didn't do any of that. begs the question, why come to new york. you think tone deaf. >> dana: he talked a lot about guns and tuesday is not violation of the second amendment he wants to do to get guns off the street. >> he talked about guns and laws they want are already on the books in new york. what more do you want to happen? it gets to point you have to say even though i support this ideology, the ideology that i subscribe to is not working and i think that is what democrats have a hard time doing, look, we tried your way two years, you wanted cops to step back, they stepped back, you wanted criminals back on the street, you wanted to empty jails, we did that, things are going back in every major city in the country that you guys rule. it is experiment is over, we saw the result, time to change. >> bill: came here and read off piece of paper. called for number one in new york yesterday. >> president biden: the answer is not to abandon our streets, that is not the answer. the answe

. >> bill: new york police are saying the d.a. bragg owns this attack.ade headlines before. bryan llenas with details live in new york city. hello to you. >> bill, good morning. christian hall has been arrested some nearly two dozen times in his life. he is only 30 years old. the last time he was arrested in january he made the cover of the "new york post" for robbing a t.j. maxx and using a pair of scissors to threaten workers. despite the threat the felony armed robbery charge was downgraded and let free reportedly because of manhattan district attorney's bragg's policies to charge robberies as misdemeanors. hall was arrested again this time for randomly punching a 55-year-old city sanitation worker. it comes as mayor eric adams had a contentious meeting with state democrats yesterday. the mayor wants to toughen of bail reform so a judge can decide their dangerousness. it isn't sitting well with some democrats. adams told one assembly woman she should talk to the mother of an 11-month-old baby who was shot in the face last month. >> you should debate t

d.a. alvin bragg and the soft on crime policies driving much of the recidivism that we see in the violence that we see, why not have the president at least address that if not meet in concert with the new mayor? >> caitlyn: honestly, i just thought it was a photo op for the president. he didn't say anything that i thought was important. he did say defunding the police is not the answer, but he supports every democratic mayor, every democratic governor who is into defunding the police. obviously including here in los angeles. we have a terrible crime problem here in los angeles, we have a district attorney, a george soros backed district attorney, george castellon who is in a recall right now and to be honest with you, i think everybody should support that. and they made over a 500,000 signatures to get rid of this guy. i want los angeles and california to wake up. we can fix this problem. it wasn't like this before. we have great police departments in the l.a.p.d., and the sheriff's department, alex villa nueva is an absolute superstar. he is trying to do what's best but his hands are tied

. >> ashley: do you think a lot of this comes down to the d.a., alvin bragg and soft on crime policieslly it will have to filter in changes being made in the city? >> oh, absolutely. i think the whole soft on crime issues has led to increases in crimes not being reported in new york city's schools, and the breakdown of the administration for children's services and the riots that took place last week at the horizon's juvenile facility. and the fact that the whole deep fund law enforcement movement, you have a shortage of most city agencies in new york city. every agency is short staffed. new york city safety, hospitals, police officers, everyone is short staffed. the nypd officers. and the whole deep fund the law enforcement movement is having a major impact along with lowering the crimes like mr. bragg is doing and let repeat offenders out, repeat violent offenders. >> ashley: the mayor's office has to step up on this especially law enforcement. we appreciate it and thank you for your service. have a good day. >> thank you, ma'am, thank you very much. >> ashley: todd. >> todd: move ov

d.a. alvin bragg ran for office, he promised not to prosecute any one that steals less than $250 worth of stuff. that's right. don't prosecute you if you steal under $250. personally i've seen two cases of shoplifters staking stuff out of a store. perhaps mr. bragg is now changing his tune. back to you. >> charles: it would be nuts for him not to. eric, thanks very much. with me now, former new york city police commissioner, howard safer. we've had this conversation several times over this period of this -- every time we talk, the numbers gets higher and more. the images get more brazen. i guess someone like an alvin bragg just is not going to say i was wrong. but maybe he's seeing the light and trying to take baby steps. isn't the urgency factor such that we need to do something more decisive right now? >> absolutely. all he has to do is do his job. his job is to prosecute criminals. what he did is he told everybody out there stealing and committing violence, you can have a free ride. i'm going to do social programs. i'm not going to do my job. the chaos that we're seeing in new york is

d.a. alvin bragg along with the mayor, eric adams? there is the question. all right. let's get to this. you want to know how bad it got at the height of the 2020 black lives matter protests, seattle city officials reportedly considered just handing over the east precinct building to violent rioters. the seattle times has the draft resolution. this would have transferred permanent use or ownership of the east precinct to the local chapter of the black lives matter organization effective july 1, 2020. just let that sink in for a second. it didn't happen but remember what did happen. the city then sees the anarchists coming and they ended up taking the area anyway and called it the chop zone and the city let them keep it but night after night violence rocked that city. >> gave it up and told by the mayor and others it would be a summer of love. we got an autonomous zone and police attacked. precinct undersiege. it wasn't just a passing suggestion. there were three memos considered over a matter of weeks as to whether or not the city would give up a $5 million property to a new organization

and it could be sending a message, possibly, that the new -- the new d.a., alvin bragg, that his viewfferent and probably he has less appetite for it than the prior d.a. that's just a possibility. but if so, it would explain why these two lead prosecutors quit so quickly. >> tom, to perhaps state the obvious here, but i want to be crystal clear on this, this is separate and apart from another investigation we've talked a lot about over the last couple of weeks which involved the new york attorney general letitia james. >> that is correct. however, the attorney's office has several people involved on the criminal side with the manhattan district attorney. it's not as though there's a chinese wall referred to, between the two offices, i want to be clear on that. yes, the thing we've been talking about, getting the president to sit for a deposition, it's different. >> yeah. danny, this interesting breaking news that tom has brought to us on the air. danny. >> the worst case scenario for the manhattan's d.a. office is they abandon this long-range investigation, leaving just the new york a

d.a.'s alvin bragg revising of two big soft on crime policies that happened yesterday. unty d.a., george gascone to reverse his policies on crime. jonathan hunt has more from l.a. jonathan. >> david, it's rare for the police chief to speak out in this way so his words carry a lot of weight and as the city of l.a. reeled from the murders of two young women, one stabbed in the store where she worked and another on the side of a freeway. and armed street attacks, the d.a.'s policy of not using sentencing enhancement for violent crime is hurting the city he's supposed to protect. >> his office has the responsibility to ensure that they're using every measure that's afforded them as prosecutors with pursuing justice for these that are preying upon others, particularly violent crime and also the chronic offender. >> the d.a.'s office did not respond to our request for comment, but did say this at his last press conference. >> the reality is that the punishment based approach to the work does not serve us well. >> chief michael moore told us that the zero bail policy introduced

bragg, by the way, ran for d.a. saying he would not charge people who steal less than $250. ill up with $250 worth of stuff and get away with it. it's not clear though if bragg is enforcing that now that he is the district attorney. we may know more later today before he speaks before the new york county lawyers association. but shoplifting, man, oh, man -- stuart: eric shawn right in the middle of a city out of control. thanks very much, indeed. that's remarkable video. thanks, eric. >>> back to the market real fast. the dow's inover 200, nasdaq over 200. we'll take you to the opening bell after this. ♪ oh, i think that i found myself a cheerleader. ♪ she is always right there there when i need her. ♪ ♪ there's a different way to treat hiv. it's once-monthly injectable cabenuva. cabenuva is the only once-a-month, complete hiv treatment for adults who are undetectable. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by a healthcare provider once a month. hiv pills aren't on my mind. i love being able to pick up and go. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic

d.a. alvin bragg will prosecute small crimes. on covid issues, on every issue driving public policy.we turned over decision making and judgment policy to the most crazy radicals? >> martha: they're trying to pull it back? this is not working? the public is telling us what they care about. they care about inflation and crime so we better get on the other side of the mask thing quickly or we'll get hammers. >> i think they are. let us never forgive them or forget what they put us through the last several years. >> martha: will cain, great to see you. we have mask infusion over whether you should wear your mask, you should not wear your mask. that is taking another bite out of the credibility gap at the cdc these days. dr. robert redfield use to run the agency he's here now. >> does the cdc run the rick of being irrelevant now that states are moving without them? and if you have heart failure, entrust your heart to entresto. it's the number one heart failure brand prescribed by cardiologists. entresto was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. heart failur

eric shawn, thanks so much. >>> speaking of alvin bragg, the manhattan d.a. admitting that the city is facing a crisis over crime. listen to this. >> i still live in harlem, the upper part of borough is in the middle of a crisis. i was at an antigun rally on saturday. i left, i found out a few blocks away almost exact same time there was another shooting. i was at another antigun rally on sunday. soon after went right past another shooting. we're really in crisis. jackie: bring in "new york post" columnist, fox news contributor, michael goodwin. always great to see you. when it comes to happening here in new york city, bragg wanted to turn things upside down, not if they aren't already but he has gotten a lot of pressure from behind the scenes, governor kathy hochul, mayor eric adams, he is seemingly starting to change his tune here but we need more. >> yes. thank you, jackie. you're correct. alvin bragg has seen, let's say some of the light, if not the full light yet because he has modified his day one memo which was essentially, nobody will go to jail unles

d.a.'s like alvin bragg in manhattan the openly say they will not prosecute crimes.e in new york city, the new district attorney is saying he's going to let most people off on crimes, he does not consider armed robbery for instance a serious crime to require immediate jail time. only if the gun is actually fired is he going to perhaps put the gunmen in jail. >> exactly imagine that and any other walk of life, imagine if you work for the fire department and you said i'm going to pick and choose which fires to put out. i'll just choose which ones do i let burn. that is essentially what he's doing, you could put a gun to someone's head and as long as you don't pull the trigger there's nothing you walk away with more than a ticket. alvin bragg should've been removed from his position as district attorney, governor kathy hochul is remiss in her duties for not removing him. i truly believe the reason she did not is because she knows he is not the only d.a. doing this. he is just the only one was enough to put this on writing and got called on the others are doing the exact

d.a. alvin bragg?y admitted where he lives in harlem he says that community is in crisis but he doesn't seem to want to change his, as many would call, you know, soft on crime policies? >> well the truth is he prefer to be ideologue or demagogue and rail against the system that punishes people for doing wrong but the mere fact of the matter is, he is the district attorney of one of america's largest counties and one of america's most important counties. again the entire country. he owns the crime problem. the "new york post" and "the daily news" both ran stories today, both tabloids, both ends of the spectrum to some degree are both running stories he is letting people go without any significant ramifications. we always had progressive d.a.s in this city who want to divert people from jail, who want to lessen likelihood someone ends up in rikers island, that's fine. but alvin bragg took it to a new level putting policies in writing, carrying them out that let people off the hook as a blank account poli

i don't know why alvin bragg does this, but he is a soros-backed d.a. is country. many of them are in the same places we discussed. jackie: these are elected officials. so i always tell people, be really careful, when you're checking down the columns, know what you're doing because he was elected. now the governor has the opportunity or the power to remove him. he is trying to jockey a little bit to toe the line. we'll see what happens. ford, i want to switch gears for a moment, show again if we can the picture of the mayor new orleans. it is kind of outrageous. she has a mask mandate in place. partying without a mask. reminds of me of ao. reminds of nancy pelosi reminds me of gavin newsom. the list goes on an on. fine if you don't want to wear a mask, mayor but don't make everybody else do it. >> the democratic hypocrisy on mask mandates. it is rules for thee, not for me. whatever science was initially behind mask mandates, has long since disappeared. the reason why you see democrats flouting the mask rules, continuing to use them because they think it

d.a. alvin bragg and on those practices around the country?that officers need the resources -- that they need to have the resources to -- excuse me -- to be able to do the job well, so for him, again, these are two things that really go together. it's part of why, in the american rescue plan, that he passed early this year, there was funding for state and local governments, that he encouraged them to use for policing and frankly, that was a bill that not a single republican voted for, so that is funding to help cops, to help police forces around the country that, again, not a single republican voted for. so, he believes that this is incredibly important balance to strike, but there's no question that the rise in violent crime, the rise in gun crime around the country has been damaging for communities, and he is working hard to get it under control. >> kate, you want to explain the lights over your shoulder? we can see them on the air. >> oh. >> in honor of the olympics, right? >> exactly. yes. sorry, i'm looking over through the camera. yes. e

why do you think we have allen or bragg as our d.a. right now? an outrage. in the drug cartels now have moved into texas. i am sure they have moved into all over the country to the cities at least. but they are moving into rural areas where they feel like it would be easier to have trafficking and drug trafficking without being caught. they are telling me down there on the border, our people our enforcements that you can go order a child of whatever age you want, mail or female. they get sent across and then they are delivered and our government -- our own government delivers them. jackie: cover so we are out of time it's good to see we will have you back soon. >> thanks for recognizing the problem. >> i am jackie deangelis you're watching the evening it jumped at it. that does it for us have a great weekend. parts of the fox studios in new york city this is wall street. >> happy weekend to all welcome to the program that analyze the week that was an helps position you for the week ahead. i am maria bartiromo. at death and destruction as russia s

, alvin bragg, who is very much on the opposite end of the spectrum of what the president's 1994 crime bill was all about which was get tough with criminals. >> right. david: here you have a d.a in live lapo..cagohi wev wer w wer in in yoanoowownow tnhet,t,t, milw keau tkey're a bid ben orte. no tt'ha--isn, iften,f n for mbe uoosehoorseoror a et t erc eeded aew a pketicuartirlla that watch - i wast wer latch watghe toleolice eugyes yrday.rday as a sea s of b multicmusea osea ose oeng h avenu ae. yes.anas aaszing thi.... oror him titndndal ab gsss beingei man macantured an t he tun mufacufreuf whe w new york cyoyy tou tesou t n n ls in thethorld, by the way -- david: they do. >> -- in the country. and to ignore that it is progressive policies that he advocates now -- not in 1994, now -- that all these other fellow democrats advocate now, to not bring up that which is causing the massive crime wave in new york. and, by the way, it's not just guns by any stretch of the imagination. people get pushed in front of trains -- david: exactly. >> -- punched in the face in the middle of downtown manhattan. this is really bad stuff. the president seems completely oblivious to this. and i

d.a. alvin bragg didn't talk about the no wail law. raise the age law which we talked about. about the influence of police defunders. you know, it sounded like if he is going to talk about the answer is not to defund the police. he was going to go down that road. but the cover of the "new york post" completely summarizes it. sleepy joe talk about crime but it's all blah blah blah blah blah, ainsley. >> ainsley: in that harl one of the are brooklyn the writer of the article said didn't hear anything from biden that would stem the shootings. typical political mumbo jump bho bow. they talk a good game. guns are already here. we have to keep the people we arrest with guns in jail. the only hope for innocent victims is to get -- put them behind bars and put them in jail. evidence didn't meet with the families either of the fallen heros that were buried last week and a half. >> steve: opportunity lost. >> ainsley: that's right. he didn't come to the funerals. he didn't shake hands with the cops in front of saint pat's. we don't understand why he is not willing to do that. and suppo

. >> brian: here in new york in manhattan where we have this new d.a., alvin bragg, his controversialhe has placed his party in. a new memo has come out and essentially, what it says is, if you rob someplace with a knife, that will be a felony. if you rob a place with a gun, you know we told you last week the policy was, if you rob something with a gun but you know suited, it's not a felony. well, now, even if you doesn't work, it is going to be a felony. if you rob somebody, but there is no threat of physical harm, you will get a pass. that is why he just sold to new york strip steaks to a place over that way. >> ainsley: we talk about what's happening there and the board of supervisors voted to take that power away from the sheriff. this year for speaking out against these vaccine mandates because he stands to lose 4,000 people in his department. 3,000 of which are deputies. the entire area stands to lose 18,000 workers in the l.a. area. here is that sheriff. we interviewed him earlier on "fox & friends." >> we have a very elite political fire that calm the privilege crowd. they are

d.a. alvin bragg is downgrading charges against a career criminal who allegedly cash from a woman in the subwayd on grand larceny charges. the prosecutors downgraded the charge to petty larceny and the suspect was released without bail. an ex-girlfriend of hunter biden is describing lavish spending by the president's son in hours of grand jury testimony. the 28-year-old describes hunter spending thousands of dollars on her when they were together in 2018. buying her clothes, high end heels and long term stays at luxury hotels. she says she has no idea where he got the money. the jury is considering evidence against hunter in a tax investigation. michigan basketball coach howard is suspended from the last five games of the season and finds $40,000. howard throwing a punch at a wisconsin assistant coach triggering a brawl. howard was reportedly upset by wisconsin calling a time-out with only 15 seconds remaining in the game despite them having a double digital lead. is he expected to be back for the big 10 tournament. those are a look at your headlines. steve, over to you. >> carley, thank you ve

bragg's tenure as d.a., it just sends a message that they had a belief about the case that he would not- that is the only reasonable explanation for me. >> and tali, this job is very high-profile in new york, it is not something that nationally everyone is keeping track of but mr. bragg has been under pressure from police uns, the police leadership, doing a dance with the mayor, pressure from albany, he's a rookie and i emphasize out of fairness to our viewers that you ran against him. that doesn't make you unique. we have guests that know people in public life. but with that disclosure made, do you think that at some level this was too much pressure for him to handle and that he sounds different than he did when he ran? >> well, you know, i can't speak to what he's thinking about, ari, but you are right to say that this office is a local office but one with national scope. and i think that it is just not possible for this to be treated like any other case and for us not to hear from him as to what he's thinking about his ultimate decision in this case. obviously prosecutors can't make

d.a. of manhattan alvin bragg said if you commit a crime with a gun and don't threaten anybody, it's a misdemeanort's going to work. >> sandra: and gun trafficking across states, i did not hear anything about the southern border and the criminals that come in through the border, and repeat offenders behind bars, that's one thing. how do you keep them there? many are arrested and they are out an hour later. and a piece this morning blames dems for soaring crime, and throwing money and investment toward the problem rather than just blanket approach of supporting the police. i did hear he did say he mentioned he met with one of the fallen police officer's families but did not attend the funeral, and that question was in the gaggle on air force one. why not, a huge support. >> john: and let's bring in andy mccarthy. all these calls to defund the police from the left, suddenly they love the police again. what do you make of everything the president has been saying today. >> i thought was depressing, john, number one, the biggest problem crime-wise in the city is gangs, i did not hear the president ment

alvin bragg that soft on crime liberal d.a. is also a black man. i have yet to hear anybody say he is soft on crime and the lower third next to his name. where is the mayor coming from? i do recognize it because you may remember in another city that is being riddled by violent crime the second anniversary of chicago's mayor lori lightfoot's inauguration announced she would prioritize interviews with journalists of colors adding in a tweet it's time for the news rooms to do better and build teams that reflect the makeup of our city. jason. we've seen this before. and this is not a reason why we have crime. it is certainly not an answer to take that crime down. why drop the race card? >> look, if you want to encourage more people and more diversity in the newsroom that's a good thing. they won't flip the switch and change it in 15 days. i don't mind him making the case for that but don't blame them. i think it was yesterday the "new york post" goes to a dwayne reid because they are getting robbed every day while the photographer is in the store. gues

d.a. in manhattan, mr. bragg, alvin bragg is being pampered by the governor and the mayor. ago, we have to give him some slack. he deserve as chance, cut him some slack. he has had his slack, the d.a., and look what happened. i think it is time to pull in all of the slack that he has had, don't you? >> i absolutely think so. instead of giving him slack what do we say to the victims? the mayor tried to argue the issues, but then he goes into this issue about pulling out the race card. david: forgive me for interrupting, chief. we have that sound bite. as you say the may did use the race card in answering some of his criticism. let me play the sound bite. you can respond. >> i'm a black man that is the mayor. but my story has been interpreted by people that don't look like me. how many black editorial boards? how many blacks determined how these stories are being written? everybody talking about my government being diversified? where is the diversification in the newsrooms? david: we heard the same thing from the chicago mayor. just on the record, he had a lot of support from

there is no issue about bragg who is the new manhattan d.a.t: how do you bring people back to the office buildings in new york city if it's flat out not safe? you're not going to do it very well at all. >> they're going to do it, and there's going to be a lot more trouble, a lot more crime, a a lot more injuries and more deaths, and this is something that we can change. that's what's so shocking to people, including liberal new yorkers, that you can change it. but they're not. and that's what concerns us. stuart: don't move. stay right here. >> i won't. stuart: thanks very much, indeed, tammy. all good stuff. let's get back to that jobs number. it was, indeed, a big number, 467,000 jobs added in january. labor secretary maty walsh joins me now -- marty the walsh. mr. secretary, that is a big number. i'm sure you're happy with it, 467,000. but we're told that it's a very big number because the benchmark has been revised. a revision of benchmark, and that's why we've got these huge reare visions. what do you make of that? >> that's participant o
