and other in the boroughs to shut down rikers.he abolitionists are sing we don't want other jails built. if you can respond to that, professor ritchie? >> i want to also say when you are playing that clip and the discussion about what i lockdown means, when -- what abolitionist feminist analysis allows us to do is also understand the widespread policy of lockdowns, both inside facilities and in the community, leaves people at risk. so in the world of gender-based violence, for example, i lockdown, having to stay at home, having to cut off contact with community who might offer support -- there's a parallel danger that is created when we lockdown inside. a stay at home policto create safety doesn't work for people who experience genr-based violence in their homes. i just want to make that point. and that is why and abolitionist feminist analysis allows us to do, make those connections. in terms of what i call the movement of a presenation ideology from one jail to another jail, from the maximum facility to house arrest, to use elec

when i went to riker, i saw the conditions that they're under.e a non-mandate responsibility they determine who is going to be prosecuted and who is not based on the evidence. it is my job to make sure that we have proper supervision and a clean, safe environments for inmates who serve their time and for officers to do their job without being abused as well as other inmates have not gone through a level of abuse >> what do you think about jeffrey epstein when you heard he committed suicide, by the way? >> i really don't have an opinion on that. i am just so focused on running this city. you know, jeffrey epstein and other things in the media, you know, they just really, they're not resonating with me i got to give my city up, operating, safe, functioning i am focused on those 110,000 children that are homeless with over a million people that may lose their home. my jobs, my economy, covid, he is not on my radar at all. that's because they deal with those issues i got to deal with the safety of my city and get my city up and operating. >> let's ta

there's no reason to put someone with mental health in rikers island. that is a revolving door. >> we have seen the rise of smash-and-grab crimes in large cities like san francisco. do you expect bragg and adams to stay eye to eye on this kind of crime? if it goes up certainly it is going to be used as a political cudgel by the right and frankly by new yorkers who want a safe city. >> don are you asking me? >> yes, sir. >> i see a mayor who is committed to the reduction of crime. i see a mayor who understands the nature of crime having worn a vest in the city for 22 years and retired as a captain. i see a prosecutor who is looking not to prosecute petty offenses and keep people mostly of color in jail. i see a prosecutor looking to divert resources and make people feel safe. with respect to scott's assertion with regard to waving of guns that is not at all what his memo says. what they are talking about are dangerous instruments that don't relate to guns. he indicated he is going to put out a very tough on crime gun policy, hate crime policy in addition

then they tried to get me to go to rikers island and be in solitary, which fortunately, due to the departmentjustice, that didn't happen because there was an issue of safety for me in that context there. >> sean: only because of the constraints of time, i'm not trying to interrupt you, we'll do a full hour when your book does come out, those details that you've told me, that people will be blown away, i'm trying to ask this in a way that we don't give away the whole book here, and you also talk about the campaign, and how mike pence was chosen, my sources have been telling me for a long time, robert mueller has checked out. he kind of suffered from the same cognitive decline that joe bind has. a, is that true, did you see him much? and b, if it wasn't him, who was putting all of this pressure on you? his hitman, wiseman? >> i never -- i saw mueller walking down the hallway once. another than that i had no contact with him, and frankly, he didn't look like he knew who i was when i saw him. yes. it was wiseman. he was the one that was the lead prosecutor on my case. and from day one -- he was t

help people, going to try to deal with crime like shoplifting proportionately see these offenders to rikersone that in new york city. it's a terrible message and unfortunately it is a policy that strikes you disproportionately at the heart of communities of color that rely on national retailers coming into their community for so many decades avoided coming into underserved communities in the inner-city. they rely on these places for jobs and employment. that is a real tragedy in a lot of these policies for progressives. eric: it was offered decades, talk about the shoplifting. i was in my local convenience store and i see a guy on his knees at a shelf piling stuff into a costco bag. iran over the guy walked out. here's the video i shot. he walked right out of the store, his bag was full of stuff. but on the shelf i went to report them to the clerk the clerk told me this happens all the time don't confront anyone who shoplifting they could be violent apparently this guy walked right out of the store without paying. when you think about this? >> and i'm glad you brought it up when i was on th

we demand immediate end of racist and cash bell system and immediate release of all new yorkers at rikers island and new york city jails. she sang let's free all the criminals and let's not have any cops. what is your answer to the new council member? >> how ludicrous is it to abolish the police. the police have needed more than ever by communities of color they represent. we have seen new york had one 100% increase in shootings in 2020 over 2019. it has remained at that level. the nypd lost about 15500 police officers to retirement and to just leaving in the last year end a half almost two years. so we are in bad shape in the city. memos of tweets like this absently do not help at all. i do not know what constituency she is playing too. it's not any sane same constituency i will tell you that. eric: it's her district. twenty platforms of progressive policies there is a need for this for social intervention the sort of thing for troubled homeless. she talks about social workers and here's the final tweet for your consideration quote, she says a pilot program in harlem which replaces polic

. >> are you going to rikers island to protest the 15 people who died last year?ng us now is the great jordan klepper, contributor for "the daily show" with trevor noah. jordan, i'm going to start calling this effect that you give me a klepper because my head hurts every time i watch one of your segments. but, lay this out for us. it looks like you got an ear full. does anything surprise you when you talk to these folks? >> again, i think at this one in particular, you could hear the rewriting and the scribbling of history everywhere you went that day. and, so, when i went to that rally, i think i've always known that the narrative has been shifting. i think this seemed to be a new stunt in that narrative, as opposed to confronting this idea of what happened on that day, many people were putting focus on the folks who were arrested on that day, and it became more of a prison rights conversation, which seemed to be an odd conversation coming from a group that seemed to have no interest in that kind of reform before that. i will say the one that stood out to me was

rikers your and you know, sort. i don't want to be. haha. >> i know. there, haha, we'll see you. >> that's what we're seeing a couple more weeks of our omicron kind of shelby. you never know. we are nimble. the senate failed to pass a new voting rights legislation. acta democrats had hoped to pass this before the november elections. but didn't happen. they were unable to change senate rules to push past a republican filibuster and that means the republican senators were able to block the bill. the vote while democrats say that democracy is on the line in this republican minority leader mitch mcconnell says >> that they're exaggerating the effects of the new voting laws in several states. in a statement after the vote, president biden said he was disappointed. today marks one year since president biden and vice president kamala harris took office in our washington, dc reporter reshad has said sat down with a one-on-one with kamala from the bay. let's hear what she has to say. >> how impactful as the biden harris administration been in the lives of the a

racist and classless cash bail system and the immediate release of all new yorkers incarcerated at riker'sd and in all new york city jails. in other words, that's -- let's let all the criminals out, she said back then. last night or friday night she did tweet that it's a tragic death and she stands with the families of the fallen. what do these types of statements -- how did she get elected? if what type of thinking causes this, and how does that impact the criminal mind? >> well, she among so many others have no business being in politics, and she can keep it up because people are starting to see through the nonsense. people are going to start coming and going for her and other seats. start bringing back common sense in law enforcement and law-abiding citizenship. she's just going to keep on going and spin her words, and people are going to look and say we cannot have this. you know, we cannot have any of this anymore. we have to stop electing people that are going to go out there and be more divisive. the number one reason why you get elected is to bring people together, to worry are abo

a hunger strike is underway at the rikers island jail in new york city. about 200 people began the strike days ago to protest deplorable conditions inside citing the rapid spread of covid, inadequate heating, and a growing level of violence at the city-run jail. many of the hunger strikers say they haven't been allowed outside in weeks. the u.s. navy has finally agreed to an ord from ste officis in hawi to din a masve unrground stora the sil nearhe pearlarbor na base foowing a lar leak. ate heal officia recentl fod proleum levs 35 times the safeimit and water systemhat serv over ,000 mils near p holver - pearl haor. militaryamilies nated actio after tting ck frodrinking the water, with some having to be hospitalized. clyde bellecourt, the co-founder and director of the american indian movement, has died at the age of 85. in 1972, the group organized a major march to d.c. called the trail of broken treaties. bellecourt was a prominent figure in the occupation of wounded knee on the pine ridge reservation in south dakota in 1973. in 2013, we spoke with bell

mayor adams has involved -- result solitary confinement at the notorious rikers island joe complex weree conditions during the pandemic led to a hunger strike prisoners goodbye others incarcerated nationwide. to discuss this and so much more, we're joined by patrisse cullors, author, educator, artist, and abolitionist. she is the co-founder of black lives matter. last year she stepped away from her role as executive director of black lives matter global network foundation. her new book is just out titled "an abolitionist's handbook: 12 steps to changing yourself and the world." she is also author of her memoir "and they call you a terrorist: a black lives matter memoir." welcome back to democracy now! congratulations on your new book. could you start off by defining abolition? >> sure. it is a simp definition, which is abolition is getting rid of police, prisons, jails, surveillance, and the current court system as we know it. amy: let me just ask a quick question that might be confusing for many. when you have someone like derek chauvin or the mcmasters who were found guilty of murderi

all the prosecutors in new york were told basically stand back and empty out rikers. after we see what is happening in those cities that i mentioned earlier, that is exactly the path new york is on right now. >> ainsley: brian, he goes on to say some cereal criminals need to be connected to mental health or addiction services. he says this is just common sense. this will make us safer. >> brian: please. >> steve: yeah. let's see about that. we're coming up on 6:30 here in the east. coming up novak djokovic taking the court in australia but his fight is far from over. tennis star's battle to compete on the world stage we will tell you all about it some americans qualified for a fourth covid shot, look at who is profiting from the vaccines, exactly. stuart varney following the vax doe coming up ♪ hey, yeah, yeah, yeah ♪ elp. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic®! ♪ ♪ oh, oh, oh ♪ ozempic® is proven to lower a1c. most people who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. and you may lose weight. adults lost on average up to 12 pounds. in adults also with known heart diseas

let's talk about professorjonathan van—tam with professorjonathan van—tam with professor stephen rikerootball fans speak? speak, especially football fans seak? . ., speak, especially football fans seak? , ., ., , , speak? yes, i am told he supports united, speak? yes, i am told he supports united. so — speak? yes, i am told he supports united, so clearly _ speak? yes, i am told he supports united, so clearly he _ speak? yes, i am told he supports united, so clearly he is _ speak? yes, i am told he supports united, so clearly he is a - united, so clearly he is a long—suffering football fan and to get the sense that he is an authentic football fan because occasionally you will get politicians who try to make themselves sound of the people by telling you how fervently they support football teams, but occasionally they forget which football team they support, which undermines what they are doing. so i think the power of the way in which professorjonathan van—tam spoke came down to two factors. the first is an absolutely critical thing in any communication is trust and we are more likely to

again my full-throated support on that and he's also returned punitive segregation to the jails on riker'sly than we ever have in our jails and yet the deblasio administration would never put someone in solitary confinement or segregate them from the general population at least adams is doing that. here is where his rhetoric actually matches his actions so i'm happy the city looks like we are on the horizon of a better day when it comes to law enforcement. i just hope he catches up with that mandates as well. ashley: well that's true and you know new york is a mecca for tourists, but when you get those crime statistics and high profile shootings in areas like times square it's a double whammy, is it not? i mean, the crime issue has to be addressed very quickly. >> yes, and we see it in our bottom line too at city hall. the hotel occupancy tax and sales taxes are sort of the recurring revenue streams a city like new york has, so without those people coming in, and cashing in their money at the cash register we're suffer ing financially, but again , all of that doesn't change unless new york

immediate of release of all new yorkers incars rate offed at rikers and all new york city jails.crime victims, advocate say this a public official who calls for ending the nypd, releasing all the criminals from jail is not fit for office. >> this whole nonsense with the divisiveness, defund the police, racism, we're seeing through it. enough is enough. let's get back to reality. we have to let our cops out there to be cops. if we don't, we will continue to see lawlessness and blood sled we've been seeing last few years. reporter: jordan attended a vigil where the officers worked saturday night. we have asked her office and her for comment about all of this. so far they have not gotten back to us. jackie: eric shawn, thank you so much for that. obviously a tightrope between two sides how they're approaching these issues here. meantime, coming up, i want to take a quick market check now because we're seeing the dow down 945 points. it is off the session lows. obviously still steep selling today. tech stocks taking it on the chin today as nasdaq falls further into correction territo

divides, and immediate end to the bail system and immediate release to all new yorkers incarcerated at rikers and all new york jails. and others say a public official who calls for ending the nypd and releasing criminals is not fit for public office. >> the defund the police and racism, we are seeing through it enough is enough, let's get back to reality. we have to let our cops go out there and be cops. because if we don't, we are going to continue to see the lawlessness and the bloodshed we have been seeing the last few years. >> jordan reportedly attended a vigil outside the precinct where the officers were based on saturday night. we have asked for her comment but her office has not gotten back to us. back to you. >> john: eric shawn, thanks so much. you know, sandra, this council member did not even tweet about the shooting over the weekend, but some concerns over a community garden. so i mean, this whole thing was just so horrible. the guy had a glock pistol, purchased illegally, 50 round drum magazine and kept firing at the officers even after they were down. look at this new york post

is no better than the communist party of china and he equates fight clubs at rikers island with the uighursto you, maria. maria: as usual, you're spot-on. let's get to the goldman report and looks like it's a mess -- a miss on the numbers. cheryl casone with the report. >> i triple checked it, maria, we were looking for 1176. they came in at 1081 and the stock is heading lower on the screen. we did have slight beat on revenue. 12.6 were revenue. we were lacking for 12.08. let's look at the numbers within the report to find out what's going on with the earnings per share in particular. they are talking about compensation and operating expenses 7.27 billion, asset manager management revenue, we saw negative growth in that number in the quarter before. it's possible that we are seeing that again, global markets revenue 3.99 billion, always been a strength for them, investment banking revenue, ipo's, m&a. they had a strong, ceo is making comments saying it was a record year for the company. they do have a provision for credit loss, that's actually higher than q4 of 2020 which is interesting. ov

i know problems at rikers island and problem prison sentence make that part of the mantra.e get more money taken out of our paycheck, i don't even live here. people don't live here have to pay money. they are awash in cash. believe me. they did redo these prince and hand it out. they are choosing not. to say. >> lawrence: brian, very simple. everybody knows i'm a libertarian. when civil liberties are violated you stand up for that again, that's not happening every single day. when there are people public safety, get them off the street. if mayor adams wants to be effective, can you call the police chief, in the commissioner, you call in the d.a. and all the judges and say, look, we have got to get all on the same page. either we are for public safety or we're not. this back door deals and saying look, we are going to all get along while people are getting shot. raped in the subways, people burning trees down. no consequences. resisting arrest. what do you think is going to happen? someone is going to get shot for resisting arrest. do you know what mayor adams is going to do

rikers island is not the key. do you know what i'm saying? i have been in jail all my life. in there than i can get out here. hopefully the d.a. can see i cannot do all these crimes they are accusing me of and they will get dismissed will, i can hear your reaction. criminals love this. no pun intended for resisting arrest or any of these other pesky crimes. will: man can you see on your screen is the new district attorney of manhattan it's alvin bragg. here's what he had to stay in an interesting interview yesterday with eric schwabb. watch. >> what we're doing now is not working. plain and simple. and so this is our path forward. this is how we reduce violent crime. >> wouldn't these policies give criminals a green light. >> no! i mean it just depends on your definition of criminal. will: that's my favorite. it just depends on your definition of criminal. i mean, you don't always have to go 30,000 feet but when they tee it up you might as well hit the home run into the sky. when you manipulate language over and over, you manipulate people's minds. manipulate the definition

governor kathy hochul when she signed it released 190 people from rikers island a best of your knowledge make sure they have all the tools and resources they need to do their job safely and effectively. protect qualified immunity, and so much more. there are so many ways that they are under attack. i come from a law enforcement household. i unapologetically proudly back the blue. we all should because these are selfless dedicated men and women who, like jason rivera will give up their lives not just for family but they will do it for strangers and community. they should be celebrated, and given all the tools they need to do their job as best as they can. >> rachel: congressman, listener, i totally agree with everything that you are saying. i agree that the leadership in new york is definitely woke and believes in this reimagining of law enforcement and restorative justice. but, let's face it. the citizens of new york voted for the d.a. and they knew what his policies were. at least they said, you know, he had it on his website. i did talk to some democrats they said, you know what? we ju
