this guy is a gang banger, career criminal and it is george gascon's fault he killed two cops.ot news for you, they will lie to your face, the progressives and tell you they have to start with social justice nonsense. we've known from the '90'ss, there is one way to keep us safe, put criminals in jail. >> carley: memorial service for the two slain el monte police officers is set for next thursday. one of the officers being promoted from corporal to sergeant. el monte firefighters saluting the fallen and paying tribute to officers who are grieving while on the job. carley, this is not just affecting police officers, we've seen this same situation in new york city with nypd earlier this year. i'm not sure if people in the areas like los angeles and philly, all the liberal cities, i don't know if people aren't paying attention or they think the da's who are soft on crime are doing a good job. it is not just affecting police, this can happen to anyone, we have spoken to parents and families have who lost children from senseless gun crime. i don't know what it will take for the peop

gascon's future.s recalled his progressive policies will go away. willie wilkerson. law enforcement telling me a gang member charged with murdering a 21-year-old man in a home invasion burglary last february and charged with the attempted murder of two other people shot in the home invasion and survived. now under l.a. d.a. gas con's policies he was not charged with any gun or gang enhancement or special circumstance allegations that would carry life without parole. fox news obtained a call between wilkerson and a loved one after a court hearing last week where he says his attorney wants to make a deal to plead down murder charges as soon as possible while gascon is still in office. take a listen. >> i talked to you last time he wants to do this before they reelect gascon and bring back the life without parole. if he can get the manslaughter that only carries 6, 9 and 12. >> prosecutors tell fox news as the campaign to recall gascon continues to gain momentum, defense attorneys and defendants have bec

you see with gascon. the mounting evidence of the disaster of the far left pro crime agenda.be put off course, there just ideologues now. >> a part of that is they expected this, this is not a surprise what they're doing as joe biden has said a painful transition in they think this is what were going to get the volcano, somebody's going to get thrown into the freaking volcano and that's always pin that k and now he has a new volcano. for normal people to grasp that there is an illness involved the weird fixation in an issue regarding punishment, and issue regarding needing to be watching the little people and their needed even more, this is a very personal emotional dynamic not just for the screamers on the streets about my body by choice except for vaccines which they are perfectly okay with but they expect this pain they expected trouble and they want to shut down the gas stations. that is not a joke. they want this to stop and then it's like the dog that catches the car they have no idea what to do in the meantime. it is the suffering that's the point that allows them to g

george gascon, the title could be an acronym for dumb.s another well-intentioned what blank or in the toilet who rationalized crime spikes, homeless and cameras in the suburbs and distress from police his hands are tied from handcuffing people like hit-and-run teen who only barely failed to kill a mother and her baby because he had bad names. that kid is going to summer camp for five months, not every state has the power of the recall as they do in california but when joy bell lost residents, californians are beyond blessed to unring the wrong they committed at the ballot and that's the memo. imagine being too liberal for california. that these two dumb dumb das in a nutshell. will learn his fate tomorrow and with george gascon will find out in november whether or not he gets the boot as well so where did these boneheads go wrong? former u.s. assistant attorney general and candidate or attorney brother and candidate for california attorney general nate hochman joins me now. welcome, nathan. >> great to be on. elizabeth: . kennedy: what is

george gascon let 'em out.ia trying to switch, wanting to punch a police officer, a guard in the face knowing they'd be transferred down to l.a. county so they could fall under george gascon's rule. that is a very sad statement. >> well, and, nicole, seems like you can't really escape the crime. whether it's, you know, where you live, where you work, it seems to have touched aspects of all of our lives in some way. and even here at fox, gianno caldwell who, sadly and tragically, lost his 18 -year-old brother on friday in chicago who was killed by gun violence. it's just so percentagic. -- tragic, but we continue to hear these stories. >> up equivocally, there's going to be violence across the world, but we do share the heartbreak of our friend and colleague scwi january know callwell. one of the cities with the largest crime right now. but unfortunately, you have members of congress who are saying to the public you need to be more confrontational. they're essentially calling for insurrection. what do you expect

gascon had to walk back the claim, l.a.ed on the felony charge, they were not the investigating agency in that case. gascon hits him with a feather and then lies about it. >> yeah, and that's pretty typical of what we have seen at all levels of government. fish rots from the head down and so you see governor newsom has released 30,000 people from the prisons, reducing the prison population around 128,000 to 98,000, he now says he wants to release additional 76,000 prisoners without properly rehabilitating them, 63,000 are in prison for violent offenses. they said that they were going to do rehabilitation, that was always my understanding, that's why i advocated for rehabilitation policies in the 1990s. that's not what's happening in these cities or at the state level. governor newsom said he was going to consider closing one prison three years ago, now he says he's going to shut down three prisons. i don't think it's a coincidence he received a million dollars from george soros to fight the recall last fall. sounds like a c

george gascon is taking a lot of criticism.ublic press conference to explain his office's decision not to fully prosecute the alleged shooter justin flores, accused shooting to death the two el monte police officers, joseph santana and michael prides both left behind wife and children. flores had a strike on his record for previous burglary. flores was busted for drugs and gun which could easily land him in jail for years. gascon's office disregarded his previous strike and considered a lenient sentence, two years probation. gascon offered deepest condolences to officer's family and community, we can't quote if this to death, insisted flores's probation was appropriate because his criminal history was not violent. gascon might potentially be kicked out of office. organizers say they have 566,000 signatures. they say that is enough to put the recall on the november ballot but they are going to keep collecting more signatures before the deadline next month. liz? elizabeth: matt finn, great reporting. great to have you on. welcome

unless gascon comes out and thus it's not going to happen. a woman on today, she is leading the effort to get the signatures to put gascon's recall in place, it needs about 100,000 more signatures, i can't imagine that are going to be able to get the belt because of what you think about the conversation of consequences, not just recall, people wanting more than that kind of accountability. do you think there is any option for people that want more than just recall here with this d.a. and people putting lives at stake? >> glad to be back on the table. two things to say, one, today and is point, that that group, your elected to be a d.a. to prosecute and put people behind bars who commit violent acts, not to coddle them. i think voters in los angeles have a vested interest in this guy in los angeles. we won't go through it, but i hope that if this is what voters want images from the outside your new york, i hope that what voters get. they said they have 650,000 signatures, they need 567,000, i think they're aiming for even more because they thi

i blame it all on gascon. >> harris: george gascon.ve enough signatures now to recall him, to kick him out. jason rantz, ktth seattle radio talk show host. your top line thoughts, jason. >> i fear that we are going to be in for a summer of historic violence. there is this possibility of course correction coming. we saw it with chesa boudin being recalled in san francisco. hopefully george gascon is next and hopefully an impeachment of crassner in philadelphia and alvin bragg. until we get the course correction there is going to continue to be needless violence and it will take a long time to undo the damage that has already been done because you have to get rid of policy and change laws in some cases and simply getting rid of a d.a. doesn't necessarily do that. we cannot be surprised when criminals take advantage of policies that do not punish them. this is happening over and over and over again. people are dying and you hear relative silence coming from the left other than oh no, it is not our problem. we didn't cause this. yes, you d

with george gascon, absolutely not. can't charge a minor with a felony offense -- i'm sorry, a strike offense. so the toughest charges we are able to bring against him, mind you, i had to fight for these charges. we told he would be charged with one count of felony hit-and-run and because he met with the juvenile d.a. and pushed hard for the toughest charges possible we were given two counts of assault with intention to harm and one felony hit-and-run. >> carley: we are so glad that you are okay, and your baby is okay. thank god. but this is such an injustice that you faced and we thank you so much for waking up early this morning. this clearly means a lot to you and for good reason. thank you. >> thank you for having me. and please sign the petition to recall george gascon. >> carley: absolutely. the recall effort will likely appear on the november ballot, but they are still collecting signatures, so that's important to get in. thank you so much. >> joey: let's turn to this. testimony from the january 6th committee's s

you have george gascon who has a pro-criminal attitude.t see as a threat. yet he continues to double down and this other case, the most recent case, dana, is a person who committed a double murder. he was a juvenile. george gascon has a blanket policy if you commit a crime as a juvenile you shouldn't be tried as an adult. that policy does not fit all for career criminals. >> bill: if he is going to continue to make decisions this way, leo, you will have more incidents in the l.a. area. there are millions of people who live there. you had one just the other day. two clips from gascon. this sound bite on camera. >> he could have easily committed it. he was released on bail because the court determined that he was not dangerous. we don't have a personal goal or a way to convict when there is no prior history of violence. >> bill: there is his defense no prior history of violence with regard to the guy who killed the two cops. now, he gave a quote to the daily news. i want to put a fine point on this, leo, we cannot use single tragedies to mak

one guy's name is george gascon. he's the attorney general. he's refused to enforce the law and so things have fallen apart. of c stepped is just in . foxxhole millionni isgh in l.a.r us tonight. hey, bill . hey, tucker . that's right, lba george gascon has now been dealt another major court loss regarding his criminal friendly policies and it comes as the campaign to recall him says they are now almost at the finish line when it comes to gathering the needed signatures. we'll explain what's going on herel . yesterday a california appealser court ruled that gascon has to obey california's three strikes law which was passed overwhelmingly to california voters back in 1994. now gascon had previously called that law a disaster that leads to quoteer over incarceration and he ordered his prosecutors not to enforce it. well,to last year the l.a. d.a. union sued him over this arguinghi gascon directive would force prosecutors to violate california v law as well as ther own ethics.t a trial court judge agreed and issued an injunction blocking gascon f

george gascon. >> gascon is letting all these criminals out.ldn't have been out, my son and the other officer would still be here. to everyone else, this is just a news story, but, to us, this is real life. ash asheville their deaths further igniting the into. recall gascon whose policies protected felon and suspected killer justin flores from serving time behind bars. gaffes cone is also restricting flores' case file telling prosecutors they need special access to view the documents. now one of his own deputies is calling him out. l.a. deputy district attorney john hatami tweeting, quote: george gascon cares about gun violence. actions speaks louder than words. he refuses to charge and prosecute gun days. cases. flores did not have a history of violent crime. the suspect was killed on the scene by police which has called attention to another gascon policy sparking even more outrage. back in 2020 the d.a. promised his office would pay the funeral expenses for anyone killed by police. but gascon's office denies this would happen in flores' case.

but now he is hoping george gascon will intervene. >> i told you last time, get something before they reelect somebody else besides gascon and bring that that little [bleep], life without parole. manslaughter only carries six, nine, and 12. >> may be that is why the deputy d.a.'s and the thing to are speaking out, saying when it comes to violent criminals, george gascon is a bigger ally than their defense attorneys. and if you think they are kidding, let's review the case of the teen who ran down a mom and her baby in venice beach. under gascon he got six months in a juvenile camp, which many believe is just a step more difficult than summer camp. and the mom who got run down voted for gascon, but then said this to tucker carlson. watch. >> rewarding criminals -- violent criminals -- for their actions, it is very far from any kind of reformation that anybody would think is appropriate. >> but far left prosecutor chesa boudin who was recalled by san francisco voters does not think he was ousted over his soft on crime policies, rather,

district attorney george gascon opted to file.light office was appropriate telling us in part, quote: the sheriff's department agreed with the felony charges that were filed. we stand by the purpose of the juvenile justice system to rehabilitate young people. but l.a. sheriff alex villanueva immediately pushed back tweeting quote we were never consulted as we were not the investigating agency. gascon's office admitted to us the sheriff's department had no involvement and they would have to correct their statement. >> women can't walk their babies down the street in gascon's l.a. and he keeps doubling down on policies. and then he lies to the media. >> and the mom who was run over is blasting gascon's handling of the case and the weak sentence telling fox in part someone with a criminal record tried to kill me and my son and george gascon thinks that five months of camp is a sufficient punishment. gascon and his staff are highlighting their incompetence and their complete discard for victim. >> bret, the second campaign to recall l

so on his account, george gascon, fired off a series of tweets. one after reviewing the evidence our office charged the minor with the most serious offenses possible under the law. adding unfortunately opponents of the district attorney are attempting to capitalize on this incident and are using the victim to advance the false premise that the sentencing is tied to the d.a.'s criminal reform policies. the truth is our office simply followed the california law. a lot of people are pushing back including the sheriff. so i guess that's cleanup on aisle 6, i guess. >> well, including the sheriff and including the victim. the buzz word used in the statement by gascon is no surprise, harris, misinformation. he declares there is a lot of misinformation for the case. the same language that boudin is using in san francisco for his policies and the effect on the quality of life on his residents saying we're suffering from a lot of misinformation and invoking the trump administration for why people are frustrated. not again their streets are being used as to

we have seen just the opposite from george gascon. we've seen the opposite from chesa boudin and now it is time for the people to speak and i think what we're seeing here is democracy in action, in a major way. >> todd: talk more about democracy in action through midterm. democrats in congress trying to attract and turn attention to abortion, gun control to an extent, but what does this show that crime and people being fed up with crime is issue number one, two and three in the minds of those voters? >> it is an absolute statement and we are, remember there are activist district attorneys that have been placed into office by radical monthat he has been funneled into the campaigns in major cities across america and we're seeing in all of those cities incredible crime tsunamis that have taken place and now all the district attorneys have to be going maybe our moment has come and gone. all i'm hoping really is that people across the country will become empowered by this event in san francisco and begin banding together in their own citie

that is why gascon is very close to facing a second recall.f they are successful, l.a. voters will go in the same direction because they are sick of it. if you ask people in california, 45% of people who lived in san francisco say they want to relocate had moved out of the city. almost 7% have left since the beginning of the pandemic because they have a phenomenally high taxes. but very low quality of life. and that is diminished in once great cities. you have a lot of crimes where people are not going into cvs and stealing things by garbage bag falls. they are also following people home, buy hiking things and then rubbing them during their -- in their driveway. or they follow them into their houses. that does not even touched the homeless crisis that none of the mayors, not to mention the das, are able to handle at all. voters are getting very frustrated. >> and that does approach to criminal justice reform, the das have taken, that is not working. doing away with cash bail. we see a drastically removed a metric how is that working out for hi
