police departments. alex hogan is live in new york city with more.i, alex knew just as we've seen in many people leaving new york city, we're also seeing a higher portion of officers leaving the nypd this year. according to an e-mail sent to fox news from the nypd, more than 2,000 officers retired or submitted their retirement papers this year. that's an increase of 87% compared to 2019. there are just under 34,500 members of the new york city police department. commissioner says he thinks an uptick from retirement stems from an increase in crime. he is calling for more resources and a call for change. >> we want to send a message that gang numbers carrying illegal firearms in new york city, they need to be prosecuted and face the harshest consequences. >> reporter: according to city crime numbers, as of last week murders this year compared to last year are up 34%, shootings increased by about 90%. shooting victims jumped nearly 99%. officers not only trying to tackle crime but also the state of community relations. new york saw a summer of protests

tom, what walls your reaction to the story heard the police commissioner of the new york city police departmentdy to deploy, there could be protests before and after the election as early as october 25th? what was your take? >> my take he is on his game. nypd has one of the most sophisticated intelligence divisions of any law enforcement agencies in this country. they built it after 9/11 because they didn't want to solely count on national intelligence. they have a joint terrorist task force a intelligence platform. the intelligence division is hearing chatter through different listening post platforms or scraping social media and hearing something that brings them concern. they're doing their job. they're planning well in advance and they should. hopefully the mayor will let them do their job if people break the law, burning looting, soughting people. hopefully the mayor will let the pd do their job because they can shut this down. elizabeth: nypd commissioner determine determine not shea, calling it is one of the mow contested elections in the modern era. he saying the election may not be dec

police department. we have a lot of law enforcement here today. i think every law enforcement group in the country endorsed us. new york city police department endorsed us. it's the first time in history they have endorsed a presidential candidate. everybody endorsed us. i said during the debate, i said, joe, name one group of law enforcement that endorsed you. he couldn't. then chris wallace bailed him out. i said joe, say the words law and order. he wouldn't do it. chris wallace bailed him out again. if he says law and order that means he loses the radical left which i think he's losing anyway. they want to dissolve your borders, raise your taxes, destroy your suburbs. the women, they tell me about suburban women. i think suburban women like me. i only saved your house. and frankly i saved your way of life. i saved the american dream. but they keep saying, trump has a problem. they said i had a problem with women, period. then that beautiful night four years ago, was that the greatest of all times? the greatest night in the history of television, right? that was -- we had so much fun, the tears that were flowing, from the

prepping for protests, the new york city police department telling officers to be, quote, prepared forent, beginning october 25th in anticipation of election protests. commissioner deermot shea writing there is a strong likelihood that the winner of the presidential election may not be decided for several weeks. therefore, we should prepare for protests leading up to the election and likely into the year 2021. oh, god. the memo goes out as crime including burglary and grand larceny, auto, spikeing in the big apple. dagen, this is not what new york city and new york needs right now. what do you expect new york to look like after election day? dagen: i want to make clear the difference between protest and violence and rioting and looting and mayhem. and that is what we saw happen in new york earlier this year and it continues to this day. i pointed out yesterday that there have been bands of shoplifters and criminal gangs walking into open stores throughout the city and robbing them and then when they get stopped by security they scream racism. even when these individuals who looted stor

new york city police department is investigating bring in ben shapiro host of the ben shapiro show andepping. he joining us live right now from nashville. ben, good morning to you. >> thanks for having me. steve: we were talking to dan bongino. we showed the same video where people took pictures of themselves hurling the eggs at the cars and whatnot. he said where is the outrage over this? he said these are clearly anti-met particular attacks and yet there does not seem to be much coverage of that element as long as an item semitism assumed under rubric of anti-trump or being of left okay. the reason the democratic party continues to welcome and champion rasheda tlaib and ilhan omar anti-semites if this were a jews for biden and trump supporters were labeling how long would it take the media to label them anti-semites. ainsley: what if president trump does win? what happens in all these cities? >> i think the cities burn. things get extremely rough if president trump wins. they have made that fairly clear. joe biden himself has suggested that the only way to bring some sort of end to t

on the issue of systemic racism, can you give me a sense of how you would handle the new york city police departmentnges you might make, what you might do to bridge, you know, the issues of addressing the issues of systemic racism with also making sure our cops have what they need and the guidance they need to keep the streets safe? >> absolutely important to balance those things. and we start by putting the public back in public safety. we need strong public oversight that says what the priorities and policies of policing are. mika, you and i have had this conversation about policing. police officers often say, you know, we don't know what you are going to want us to do one day to the next. one day we do something, it's fine, and then the next day you tell us it's wrong. let's get the rules of the road very clear. camden, new jersey, has an 18-page excessive force policy and they have significantly reduced police violence as a result. new york city, we only have a couple of pages. let's get clear on the rules of the road so everyone knows and understands. and let's transform policing into something

here in new york city in the last hour the police department held a briefing about election security out in force to protect the election. there is no specific credible threat against the election in new york but that the nypd will be watching for any possible voter intimidation or voter fraud. >> harris: eric shawn thank you very much. with early voting numbers already on case to break records, an eye opening new poll tells us how important voters say this election is to them. and how it all breaks down by political party. power panel comes back. who's supporting prop 15? joe biden. biden says, "every kid deserves a quality education and every family deserves to live in a safe, healthy community. that's why i support prop. 15." vote yes. schools and communities first is responsible for the contents of this ad. so i'm voting 'yes'. nineteen allows seniors and all homeowners 55 and older to transfer their home's low tax base to another home. it also protects the right to pass my family home to my son. we've all worked hard for our house and we should be allowed to give it to our kids

police departments. we're already seeing the happening effects over our country. in cities where they slice police budgets. new york city took $1 billion from their police budget amid rising crime. the city saw a 59% increase in murders compared to year. the city of minneapolis is eliminate their police department at a time when they're seeing a spike in murders. makes this even more tragic? the victims are often from underserved communities. communities we are told would benefit from fewer police officers in their neighborhoods. communities are no different than the communities in my district. thing.nt the same good jobs, good schools, safe to unities, and a place raise their families. i will continue to support our any e officers and oppose efforts to defund them. today to r, i rise support the millions of americans who are exercising their second amendment right and become law-abiding gun owners. s people across our nation and across our country watch riots and crime consume our cities and leaders in those cities do little or nothing to stop it, people will ensure they to defend ans themselves and their family.

city. . >> i would agree with you i think one first of all, laws are here to enforce, i think this reduction of a billion dollars to police department in new york't arrest people, and sense of lawlessness affecting the city as a whole is having a major disruption on retail business because even fewer people want to venture into new york city yesterday a very good friend of mine die hard new yorker had come to new york city first time in about a month he said it changed forever. and he can't imagine when digging out of hole because i think people feel unsafe it is dirty, life away by closures as well. maria: how long do cycles last don you have seen a real estate values go down in new york the as a result of all this how long do you think -- is this 10-year cycle five year cycle? what do you think? >> well, i don't think new york has seen a structural change in its overall economic plvp in the pillars of its economy so it is seeing major events catastrophic events terrorist attacks economic cycle or political cycle, but it has not seen structural change that is taking place now so i am not sure how long it is going to take i think certainly goin

new york city has diminished significantly and rapidly. and that has to do with the cleanliness of the city and of course public safety. the reduction of funding for the police departmentay from neighborhood policing and other important elements that keep the city safe. and then also, new york has to reopen. the small businesses that have been closed, many will not reopen. many restaurants, estimates that half the restaurants will never reopen again. those are the magnets that attract people to come and want to live in new york and of course also many of the companies that have closed and have worked remotely, had their workers remotely, are going to do it permanently. they're certainly going to have 100% remote working or 50% or 40% but there will be significant amounts of that. that will reduce demand as well. so it will take new york city about -- i believe about a decade to come out of this because it's going to be a perpetuating aspect because the tax base is shrinking very rapidly and deficits are increasing and the current government has not shown any willingness to reduce any of the costs to operate the city and/or to think strategically about where they spend

community, that the interest of the police department outweigh the first amendment concerns of the police officer.office there was a famous case that took place in new york city about officers who had been afloat in expressing various racist stereotypes. ultimately the second circuit ruled that those officers could be immediately terminated. >> thank you, professor johnson. mr. german, dozens of officers n have beent killed by white we h supremacists, as you point out. the unredacted document we released today, as mr. . meeink talked about being encouraged by neo nazi groups. they talked about the risk of sabotage, the risk of having access to elected officials, the risk of having access to re the weaponry and opportunities, to use it. what do you think are the biggest risks of white supremacists actually infiltrating law enforcement? >> i believe the biggest risk is the risk to communities policed by officers who are associated with white supremacist groups or engaged in other racist behavior. and i'm disappointed that the fbi has disavowed, apparently behind closed doors, its 2006 assessment, particularly because the 2015 assessment is much nearer in time a

said, you live in new york, you're plugged into both the police department and what happens on the streets of new york. what do you think the reaction will be here and perhaps other citiest's that made it for the worse. i mean, to be honest, it's been bad for a minute. not only are they dealing with the murders, but as you know, there's a counterterrorism unit in new york city that is always on hand making sure that this city is safe, and now you've got to deal with now protests that -- and riots that could potentially happen if one candidate doesn't win. and so i think it's despicable. i think you're just going to see more people leave this great city because of that. and, again, as i talked to my sources every single day, they're telling officers you can't take off during this period of time. you cannot retire. they have reached their limit for retirement. and now you see that the police academy, they're trying to get more people into these police are academies because now there's a shortage of cops on the street because people just don't want to do the job anymore. will: really quickly, so is the anticipation that if donald trump wins, it could get ugly in a city lik

. >>> the nypd as in the new york police department preparing a mass protest in lead-up to the election. i say this city. you know, they will still vote democrat. we'll talk about it. >>> florida senator rick scott coming up on the real estate boom in his state. >>> plus the president want as big, much, really huge stimulus package. would rick scott vote for it? i will certainly ask. >>> florida shattering its early voting record. more than 350,000 votes already cast. that is on day one of early voting. check out those long lines. you're seeing them on your screen right now. that is florida, jacksonville, monday. varney rolls on after this. ♪. stuart: not quite the hide of the day but up there. dow is up 250. nasdaq up 101. nice bounceback from yesterday's major league losses. i will put on screens some video of the first day of in person voting yesterday in florida, long, long lines. ashley, come in to this. records were broken i believe? ashley: they say it could be one for the record books. absolutely stu. some cases they're already in the record books. long lines for voting around the country. show,

new york city, washington, d.c. and obviously one of the concerns here is that in some of these cities you are already seeing a an uptick in violence. you are already seeing police departmentsn slightly defunded where fund something cut where have you had policemen and women retire already. so is there some concern that the police in these cities won't have the proper ability because of these cuts and because of what's gone on to face the challenges ahead? jed. >> well, what is happening is we have something around the country called mutual aid. so police departments, smaller police departments are going to be available to help those larger urban areas and don't forget we have state, local, and federal law enforcement all working together. we have intelligence analysts out there trying to listen to the chatter, determining what is happening. we are -- our goal for the american law enforcement officer is to help keep our community safe. people who aren't safe, who don't feel safe, are not free feel free to move about their communities in a post 2020 election world and so we want to make sure that we are out there and to do that we will all have to work together. that's what
