what i would say his, new york is in trouble. when you have a democratic mayor welcoming migrants only year ago saying it is going to destroy new york city and a democratic governor saying, if you're leaving your country go somewhere else, they are not republicans, they are democrats. this is a bipartisan issue happening in new york city. we have 206 shelters. it cost us $383 per day per migrant to house them. we are now looking at national parks, which means we are at our borders here and we cannot sustain it anymore. all of our hotels, any available housing are full. they are full to capacity. 120 plus thousand migrants that have come into new york without the walkaway's. we have seen more and more people living on the streets. this is not humanitarian, we need to do something. what is happening now? our governor has asked for the use of our natural resources, our parks. the things that we all in this committee sent to protect. that is why this committee is here. we talk about protected lands and we talk about endangered species

the reality is we do have a crime problem in new york. new york is the only state that does not have a dangerousness standard. when you see a judge release this gentleman, for instance, it's in part because they aren't allowed to take prior bad acts into account. they aren't allowed to hold people in jail based on the threat that they pose to the public. if they did, this man never would have been released. he threatened to shoot someone just a few weeks ago because they quote, unquote, were working for a white person. you look at what is going on in major cities across the country, the lawlessness, the grand larceny. we had stores in new york state lose $4 billion -- $4 billion from theft. it is a major crisis and violent crimes are up. so for anyone to say crime is down, people are being physically assaulted and that continues to go on the rise. that is a problem. >> mike: another big issue homelessness up significantly in new york city. 90,578 this october compared to 65,633 a year prior. what about the homeless crisis in new york city?

what we are watching unfold in new york, in part, debunks that mythology and we also know that he is taking opportunity of what is happening in new york to turn it into part of his grievance story. to use the opportunity to stand in front of the courtroom and push this narrative that he is somehow being singularly attacked by a u.s. government? >> it will have, any under mounting of what his life has been has been no effect on gop voters. it's amazing to me as you watch this. all of the stuff that has been, we have seen, come across donald trump has actually only build support stronger among gop primary voters. i like to remind people in so many different things, is you cannot break an emotional connection with a rational arguments. and the same is true here, you cannot break the connection, donald trump has with gop primary voters by presenting facts or presenting evidence. it just will not happen. the only thing that could possibly do it in some degree is an actual conviction. and we'll see if that does it. >> wait, stay there matthew dowd, because an actual conviction would arguabl
