my mom and all my aunts were from l.a. as well.it's my history. speaker: coming to l.a. in '60, i was thinking, "oh, it was a brand new world." the country was looking to be in a different place as well. so i thought integration and california was like the end of the rainbow or the beginning of it, whichever. marie cartier: los angelesnd is the end of the known worlof you come here and this is where it all washes up. there's a quote from chris williamson, "move to california 'cause the leash is a little bit longer." and if there was ever a population that needed that, it would have been gay people. alexei: the police were already in the black cat, and they were undercover police officers. and at midnight, two people kissed at midnight, new year's eve, and a nber of other people did at the same time. the police then came out with their badges and they started to arrest people in there. and then the regular uniformed police officers came in . they start pushing people around. two people ran out of the black cat, ran down the block to

all over l.a.areas because the problem spreads. here's the tragedy in these cities that we really need to discuss: murder rates increase, but other crimes lead to what happens with murder. most murders are committed with three shots or less when a gun is used, blunt instruments and other weapons. how you get there are larcenies and robberies and the reports on crime in these cities, larceny, robbery, higher-level misdemeanors, these criminals don't change their minds when they go from misdemeanor to felony and say i'm not doing any more. they grow. unfortunately, this points to a multiyear problem which will take another multiyear solution. >> and we haven't helped ourselves with the fact that we demoralized our police forces all across the country, and it kind of seems like we're headed in a really bad direction because think about the massive numbers of police officers across the country who retired over the past two years. who wants to take a job where with you can you continue to be deorallized

[fan flapping] jon: the re-occurring theme was seafood. we're doing a lot of asian-style fish dishes, and then we tried doing steamed fish. we basically did just a smaller version of my mom's steamed fish, and i was like, "man, this is so simple." i don't know if this hits the same way it does for me. a lot of diners were kind of expressing the same things. th were ke, "oh, this is so homey." it wasn't just other asian-americans. everybody that had that dish was like, "i really don't get it, but it's

one million ballots and l.a. county have yet to be processed. we see rick caruso up right now, but it's possible by the end of the day that karen bass will be up. the same thing is true on the statewide ballot. a race like insurance commissioner. not a lot of people will think a lot about that. but a republican has made it to the second spot in the insurance commissioners race. but we will have a democrat from the bay area running against a democrat from the l.a. area and what might be a pretty hotly contested race. karina: it's always a pleasure talking to you. i have to wrap it up but i have a dozen more questions. we will save it for another time when we can talk some more. paul: thank you. karina: election coverage continues on our website and we have the latest information online all at abc7news.com /election. /election. my car, /election. my car, the insurance company wasn't fair. i didn't know what my case was worth. so i called the barnes firm. i was hit by a car and needed help. i called the barnes firm, that was the best call i could'v

it's playing out before our eyes in l.a.'s streets. the l.a.orts robberies and aggravated assaults are up more than 11% right now over this time last year. at the same time, l.a.'s city council is now considering banning how maniless shelters from within 500 feet of day care centers and schools because assaults against children as carley mentioned are up. they're tussling with this. how do we keep different demographics within this population safe. they're not having a lot of success with it. >> emily: kayleigh, to gillian's point, they're wrestling with the definition of law and order and underscoring the infrastructure of the wealthy community, which the l.a. county sheriff says that gangs are targeting them. and now we have video of thieves breaking into a store with sledge hammers and security guards have been shot and killed protecting retail, kayleigh. >> kayleigh: the sheriff makes a terrifying point that we have people from out of county, out of state coming here to l.a. to do this. foreign nationals are coming here to do burglaries he

but in cities like l.a. and san francisco, the fact we're seeing residents rise up and say, change need to happen, we need to rethink our policing, it's a sign that across our country you're seeing a revamp of city halls and probably governors are figuring out how to deal with crime, homelessness and other concerns about quality of life. >> ed, before you go, i want to talk about voter turnout. we're set to have a low voter turnout. it's not the primary, but is there evidence of voter fatigue, do you think? >> i don't know that it's voter fatigue or perhaps lack of enthusiasm. on top you have a non-competitive governor's race, a relatively non-competitive district attorney's race. all across country, races don't necessarily draw big crowds. they may just be seeing how tonight sorts out the race and narrows down the options. >> ed, thanks for being live for us from los angeles. >>> and the races may turn out to be a will of the few. the counties we spoke with today all say they've seen a steady stream of in-p

backlogs at the ports of l.a., seattle, georgia, new york, new jersey and other major hubs. b this is not just a problem for the coast. a backlog appears at the ports in los angeles that hurts farmers in minnesota, or wisconsin but hurts truckers and tech companies and manufacturers, mom-and-pop shops all over the country. and most of all hurts american consumers. our shipping reform bill will fix this. if i make it harder for ocean carriers to unreasonably refuse american goods at our ports. while strengthening the federal maritime commission's powers to stop abusive practices by foreign carriers. i want to thank speaker pelosi and my house colleagues who work to pass thisag t bill. and special thanks goes to senator klobuchar and thune for authoring the legislation as well as chairman cantwell who use orwh legislative skills, whh are indeed very, very fine. she shepherded the bill through this chamber. because of the hard work of these folks, shipping reform will now become law. american consumers will soon fill the benefit. i yield the floor and notice the absence of a qu

to l.a.ic mayors not taking that stuff seriously. >> i think it should send a message to democrats for sure. now, whether they're going to listen to it, i don't know. i was noticing there's a top former obama official, jim messina, currently expressing frustration on twitter about democrat on democrat violence with aoc and another race. i think there is that infighting still in the party. karen bass had a reputation for being a pretty pragmatic member of the democratic caucus, quite frankly, but she's being painted with the brush that has many people who aren't tuned in to politics the way we are see the democratic party in washington right now. they're seeing members of the squad and republicans have done a lot of work to try to make sure that's the case, that's what people think of, but i think that's what she's struggling with right now and people are taking out their frustration on her. >> what is the republican view of all this? >> the view is that quality of life issues are manifesting

what about l.a.? highly competent and rick caruso is the guy there. >> yeah, but i think, the same thing -- there where is the head of law enforcement in l.a., he had a couple of missteps. and they are still saying, no, we want to continue this modernization. it wasn't that karen bass's -- who came in as a close second -- it's more of a realignment. i encourage people to look at what we are seeing not just in california, but in houston. we have hidalgo, incredibly progressive, but has kept the city of houston safe, and she is going to go on into reelection. so it's a matter of, again, being competent and being able to demonstrate receipts. and karen has been able to demonstrate receipts in the house of representatives. and now it's the issue of is she going to be able to do that in l.a.? i don't see a contest. but the person running their, yes he's a former republican, but he's independently minded. and he is going on as a democrat. >> mr. steele, what do you think? >> i appreciate the very fine analy

fox's bill delusion is in l.a. with all the details i bill . >> laura , l.a. d.a. george gascon is getting blasted by critics over his handling of this case afterer a juvenile ran over a mom and baby, then fled the scene and baby, then fled the scene months in juviee and it was nott his first offense. take a look. this was allideo caught on video in venice last august. a 16 year old driver, no license in a stolen car mows down a mom walking with her baby in a stroller. the joe biden then tries to flee the scene before a goodn samaritan purposely uses his truck to crash into him t and stop. multiple law enforcement sources tell me that teen driver was on felony probatione at the time for spiking the girl's drink in twenty nineteen . now despite his criminal record, d.a. george gascon's officece opted to file two lessr felony charges for the hit and run, whichch he pleaded guilty to. in a statement to fox news, gascon's office told the sentence was an appropriate resolution and said the sheriffspr department agreed with those lesser charges. but l.a.t county sheriff

here in l.a. facing similar criticism are taking these admirable goals to an extreme and as a result, public safety is eroding and also, honestly, the d.a.s and the police criminal justice reform issue is being sucked into a larger wirl -- whirlpool and the democratic run city haves to get a handle on that it's clear that's a big part of the discontent. >> paul, the president has rejected the progressive call to defund the police. that is not new. is the party listening? is the party changing how they talk about police reform and public safety? >> i think so and i hope so, that the elites are, the leaders are. the base of the democratic party is saying it loud and clear. right? the base and this is like the cardinal sin is both sides. i just listened to your conservation with scott jennings and charlie. the republican base is increasingly radicalized. 70, 75% of them believe the big lie biden didn't win legitimately. 10 to 15 believe in qanon. democrats are moving to the middle. the base. not just

but l.a. county sheriff immediately pushed back saying quote the lada office we leased a statement claiming that we were okay with the lightweight sentencing in this brutal venice hit and run. wefrp never consulted. we would never be okay with this sentencing. victims matter. gascon's office then september us a follow-up email admitting the sheriff's department was never involved in the case. and they would have to quote correct their statement. now late last night i spoke to the mother who was run over. she had minor injuries. her baby was okay but she is absolutely furious about the way this case was handled telling me in part quote someone with a criminal record trying to kill me and my son. george gascon thinks that five months of camp is a sufficient punishment. gascon's office took the time to falsely comment on my case but taken no time to ask how we're doing. that's because he doesn't care. gascon and his staff are highlighting their incompetence and their complete disregard for victim

the l.a. race for mayor shaping up to be a fight between republican turned democrat rick caruso and democratic congresswoman karen bass who was on president biden's shortlist for vice president. neither caruso nor bass 50% setting them up for a november runoff battle. caruso has spent nearly forty million dollars of his own money to fund his campaign. he's flooded airwaves with ads promising to quote, clean up homelessness and add more officers to the police force. that is an already well-known democratic congresswoman with a long history of activism in both l.a. and the state capitol . many voters and heavily democratic l.a. are upset about rising crime and homelessness, which could potentially prompt the city to take a turn to the political right for the first time in decades. stay with fox news channel for the very latest election news regular programing continues after the break. >> the fact with the returning chefs i don't know 20% you how to pay for goes to new masterchef back to win tom

right.ayor's this is l.a. the mayor's race going to be very interesting. karen bass has been in congress for six terms. she wants to be the mayor of los angeles. sheayor of is looking really god in this until rick caruso came along. he's a billionaire, isre a developer. sean, three years agoe he was w a republicanas a is running as a democrat. california's rules in a jungle runoff is that if you don't get to 50% well then you have to havee a runoff in november, meaning you could get two democrats on the ticket. you get two republicanst, on the ticket, a democrat or republican , whoever the top two vote.ote getters are, they advance for the election in november. what's sean? los angeles in twenty twenty was carried overwhelmingly by bernie sanders and now they're considering the possibility of electing a formerr republican as their mayor. why would that be?k well, check out the crime statistics in los angeles. 2020 one to 2020 two robberies are up in red, aggravated assault up and read total crime up and read as well.ha and that's what people are voting on

last year the l.a. d.a.violate california law and their own ethics, a trial court judge agreed with the union. they issued an injunction for not following the law. gascon lost in court yesterday saying the district attorney overstates his authority. he must supply with the law. wee don't have a sound bite there. but this comes -- this court loss comes as the campaign to recall george gascon says they have collected over 500,000 signed petitions, the most signatures ever collected in l.a. county for any petition. they need about 567,000 verified signatures to get the recall on the ballot. the campaign says they're well on track to qualify. neil, gascon is not the only progressive prosecutor here to be under fire. the effort to recall the san francisco d.a. made the ballot. his fate could be determined tuesday. >> neil: sorry about that sound there. sounded like something from the jubilee. i have no idea. you handled it well. let's go to jonathan turley, the g.w. law professor. there's a revolt going on over o
