it's all happened by the way, as you may or eric adams, a former police officer himself, just initiated a new client program to try to bring down crime li, inserting new york police officers to patrol the subways. that did not happen for the last multiple years. the police were brought were not patrolling subway stations on a regular basis. that was a decision by the previous, mary administration, administration wanting to use the resources that are said elsewhere. the previous may or the current mayor at adams effort to try to bring down crime, including crime in subway stations in new york city. as we initiated a program. just in the last couple months of quoting and my pd back in the subway is writing subways, patrolling the platforms as a way to ad safety and bring down that's unrelated to the shooting situation. we don't know if there are a police officers in there at the time. the shooting metal all come out later. but the big picture of all of this is the mayor. making a big effort is one of the key initiatives to try to bring down raising crime in new york. and one of it was try

mayor eric adams summing it up in three words. we got him. but is that fair? did he get himself? because frank james, the man suspected of shooting ten people on the subway train in brooklyn yesterday arrested by parole officers in the east village neighborhood today, but he turned himself in. that's why i said did they get him or did he get himself. >>> another crazy turn in the story that is full. law enforcement sources telling us that the suspect himself called in a tip that led to his arrest. how much more bizarre can this get. they say that james told them he was at a mcdonald's on the lower east side of manhattan. they didn't find him there but spotted him just a couple of blocks away and arrested him without incident. he's due to appear in court tomorrow. he's going to face multiple counts, including violating a law that prohibits terrorists and other violent attacks against a mass transportation system. he could face life in prison if he is convicted. to the new video obtained by cnn, it appears to show the suspect walking down the street before the subway attack took pl

"new york post" is reporting that a hatchet is among the items found in that bag. >> dana: will take it around the table. >> jesse: hey, bryan. his distant asian neighborhood where this subway stop was located? some of the victims looked asian to me. have any law enforcement told you that there could be up possible hate crime angle? >> yeah, at this moment, this is an asian neighborh

joining us now is the mayor of new york city, eric adams.lyn borough president and spent time as a transit officer with the nypd. mr. mayor, good to have you with us this morning. what is the latest on the search for this man? >> i was updated this morning by my law enforcement officials. there is no new information. as you know, a national search is for him, a person of interest, and we are going to continue to close the loop around him and bring him in. continue the investigation into this horrific act against innocent new yorkers. >> do you know of any connection this morning, mr. mayor, to new york city? we know he has addresses in wisconsin and pennsylvania, but nothing directly, except for some of these videos he posted to youtube. in some cases, speaking directly to you, mr. mayor. what do we know about his connection to new york, and might it lead to a motive here? >> there is no additional information that is showing that connection at this time. we believe that he, as you indicated, purchased the van in philadelphia and brought the

and new york city mayor eric adams joins us live. >>> president biden calls russia's actions "genocide" as officials uncover more atrocities in ukraine. the white house plans to send hundreds of millions of dollars more in aid, while vladimir putin indicates there's no end in sight for his brutal campaign as ukraine says it has captured a close ally of putin's, offering him in a prisoner swap. >>> overnight. at least eight reported tornadoes touching down in iowa and texas. this morning, severe weather stretching from the great lakes to the gulf coast. and another new twister threat. which major cities are in the bull's-eye? >>> kidnapping hoax. california mom sherri papini, who claimed she was abducted and held captive for weeks in 2016, now admitting she made it all up. set to plead guilty. >>> celebrating a comedy legend and that unmistakable and unforgettable voice. >> ladies and gentlemen, i hope you can hear the sound of my voice. >> we remember comedian actor gilbert gottfried. and the broadway tribute overnight for one of his most memorable roles. >>> smackdown sticker shock. t

new york city mayor, eric adams, himself a former police officer, echoed that tone. >> my fellow new yorkers, we got him. we got him. okay. >> that's true, i think there was relief that this man was no longer at large. he is charged, and he is innocent until proven guilty. but he did roam free through new york city for 30 or so hours after shooting people. he was retroactively spotted in brooklyn in manhattan. later in the morning of the shooting, james was seen entering a subway station in park slope, a brooklyn neighborhood north of where the should into place. the next morning, the new yorkers reported seeing him in a popular cafÉ called times where you can get an old milk latte. and the police -- tons of him all over the place. in the end, just to be clear, frank james called himself in. a senior law enforcement official has confirmed that james actually called the crime stoppers tip line, told them he was at a mcdonald's on the lower side of manhattan, even describe the clothes he was wearing, and the green backpack he was carrying, and then, on top of, that it was astute observ

and that prompted the mayor of the city, eric adams to institute reforms, to the way police officers patrol the subway and patrol the city as well. and the subway, in particular though they were, they have been cracking down on fair evaders. people who jump the turnstile homeless people have been removed from sleeping on trains and benches and subway stations as a way to attempt to make the commuters feel safer and to make the platforms where they wait and the trains that they take safer. this is how many new yorkers get to work in school. most new yorkers, at city of 8 and a half 1000000 people rely on the subway for their daily commute. and especially after the coven pandemic, as the city is attempting to get back on its feet. and get more people into office buildings, 5 days a week to bring the economy back. the mayor really made subway safety and emphasis . it's something he's been focused on in the last months. so this very much a concern for new york residents and, and city administrators dealing, dealing with all of these concerns for, for the city. talk through the location o

eric adams is a guy who could fix this. he was a subway calm.people for everybody. you wonder if they actually have the political power to refund the police and start -- and to punish gun crimes. the thing nobody mentions is for all the talk on gun control and you are not allowed to defend yourself, they are letting people who have been found with illegal guns in the commission of crimes out of jail. they are actually not enforcing gun laws at all. that is a huge problem. >> it feels like it would take guts for someone like eric adams to actually take on the left wing of his party. he may make some acknowledgment. do black lives matter or not when black people are being sought by other black people? he said that last weekend. enforcing and doing the policies including taking on the catch and release program that exists and feels like something that is not going to happen. we are told good things but as brian has pointed out, crime is up in new york city. >> if you want to be blunt about it, these are not ideas that started in the black community

he's mentioned new york mayor, eric adams, rob.g these dots. but i am connecting the dots to crime. okay. because crime has been skyrocketing under this administration and this governor. >> that is correct. it's point a to point of b. kathy hochul yesterday at that press conference in brooklyn had the audacity to say people are tired of reading about crime in the headlines. yeah, no duh. you know what? you're to blame for a lot of this and the police unions and the police departments say that is true because of her no cash bail law which she defends, because of less is more where she is literally emptying out our prisons in new york. you know, they're not charging gun crimes in so many instances. they're turning a blind eye to all of the folks coming into this country that we can't even vet. and that she's inviting and welcoming. look, we've got a real serious crime issue. we've got an economy issue. we've got an inflation issue. we've got education which is upside down, covid which apparently might be coming back and they'll do th
