the city's former mayor, michael nutter, calls comments like that ignorant and insulting, asking in ass crassner is living in, to have so little regard for many lives lost, many of them black and brown, while he advances his own progressive reputation. here's the question relative to progressive prosecutors and crime -- correlation or causation? >> certainly both. you look at jurisdictions where progressive prosecutors have common to an office like philadelphia and you do see record homicide rises, u.s. said, you see drops in felony conviction rates. a study found 20% fewer felony convictions in progressive jurisdictions. and you see fewer police cases getting solved because police have to work hand in glove with prosecutors. and you see record numbers of the kind of seasoned, experienced prosecutors whom you want in a prosecutor's office because they have that sophistication to handle murder and gang violence and rape, leaving in record numbers because of such an inhospitable environment and an office in which the prosecutors have lost sight of their primary mission and mandate which

michael nutter, great to see you again.appropriate with him saying it was inarticulate? >> well, i don't think his comments were inarticulate. they were just ignorant. it's not me certainly he needs to apologize to. he needs to apologize to the now 524 families, the thousands who have a family member killed. or the thousands of people who have been shot. it was a full-on statement filled with, you know, his level of rhetoric and inability to accept responsibility for his role. it's not the sole role, but the d.a. has a role to play in criminal justice, in prosecuting violent criminals. and then working with the police, working with the city administration, working with the courts to make sure that we have some semblance of justice and reform. it is a false choice to somehow try to sell the citizens of this city that you can either have public safety or you can have police reform. you can actually do both. >> you said something pretty explosive, i thought, in the op-ed i made reference to a moment ago. you said it takes a ce

david: dan, the former mayor of philadelphia, michael nutter, pushed back and pretty much smacked down that he wrote: i have to wonder what kind of messed up world of white wokeness crasner is living in while he advances his own national profile as a progressive attorney. you know, it is poor communities usually of color that suffer the most from this rise in crime. >> yeah, it is, indeed. and let me explain what kind of messed up world of white wokism the prosecutor in philadelphia lives in. helys in the city of philadelphia -- he lives in the city of philadelphia. he was not appointed to that position. george gascon was not appointed prosecutor. in every one of these cities they were elected by the voters. i blame the voters■ç in these cities. that's where white wokism has run amok. and all of these prosecutors ran on these platforms. they didn't hide what they were going to do. they said they were going to reduce bail. they said they were going to decriminalize many of the laws in those cities, and this is the result. and until the people in those cities get it through their heads t

former mayor democrat michael nutter firing back demanding an apology to the victim's families and asking, many of them black and brown. how many more have to be gunned down to meet your definition of a crisis? our next guest' brother alexander martinez was shot and killed in philadelphia almost 10 years ago. his murder unsolved. roselyn picharo joins us live. roselyn, good morning to you. >> hi, thanks for having me. again he is the top law enforcement officer. if there was a crisis he would look bad. >> there is definitely a crisis here in the city of philadelphia. we're up to 523 homicides. and how dare him say that the loss of a mother's child is not a crisis. you know, every e.r. in this city is saturated with homicides. these streets are overwhelmed with death. and for him to say that there is no crisis is insane. steve ross lind, who do you blame in your heart, what's going on in philly? >> what's going on across the country there is a lot of issues going on with gun control. legislation is not helping with gun control either so the blame is across the board. you have got d.a.s who

david: that just wasn't true what he said, the former mayor of philadelphia, michael nutter, the firstn mayor of philadelphia said, i'm quoting him, it take as certain audacity of ignorance and white privilege to say that right now. i have to wonder what kind of messed up world white wokeness krazner is living in to have so little regard for human lives lost, many of them black and brown while he advances his own national profile as a progressive district attorney. that is the point. these guys have ulterior motive for their policies. >> exactly. what we have is a crisis of incompetence in the philadelphia district attorney's office. krazner, okay, there are two choices here. krazner is either delusional or a liar or maybe both but i think probably, i'm going to opt on the liar part because he knows exactly what is happening. you have to be blind not to see the violent crime tsunami that has engulfed philadelphia. you hit it right on the head. that is why i call them, he is a trojan horse district attorney. he is not interested in prosecuting criminals. not interested at all. he is onl

. >> michael nutter, he's singing your song.ly leading to the deaths of brown and black philadelphians. words mean something and words matter. thousands of those names by gun wounds this year. he ignored the pain and he does not have the guts to carry those duties. he should turn things other to someone who's not trying to sell philadelphia on the false choice of having public safety. alex, if you could find the part of the op-ed where he talked about the white wokeness. that's the center of his argument. rev, that's what you have been talking about for some time. white wokeness, you got people never been to some of the most dangerous afflicted neighborhoods in major cities and they think they can read a couple of books on crime and decides what's best for those neighborhoods that are on the front lines of this epidemic. >> well, that wokeness, they woke up on the wrong side of the bed because clearly when you are seeing the kinds of murders that's going on and gun violence and to act as though that's not a crisis, what is distu
