forbes ranked st. louis as america's most dangerous city in 2022, and so far in 2023. we're only in february. the ranking is based on crime cost per capita. st. charles has an executive in the county there who says gardner is not an isolated example. >> this is your typical situation where a progressive democrat in a liberal city has taken over and pretty much declared war on the police. that has had profound effect on a lot of families. police are afraid to do their job. they're afraid that the prosecutor would go ahead and prosecute them instead of the bad guys. >> the attorney general is blaming gardner's lax prosecution for a horrific incident last week. a repeat violent offender was out on bond. he plowed his car into this beautiful young girl, 17-year-old high school volleyball star from tennessee. she was visiting the city with her family to play in a tournament. she lost both her legs. senior national correspondent william la jeunesse has more on that part of our coverage. william? >> harris, studies tell us two things. one, criminals commit less crime the longe

st. louis is not safer. it's much more danger under kim gardner. they experienced the highest murder rate in decades. the point is disarming use. you can't defend yourself against their plans for you. now thankfully mark mccloskey and his wife were not charged. he joins us now. you story was so significant because it seemed like the beginning of a trend where political prosecutors send the message that you're not allowed to defend yourself. don't take up arms to defend your property, your family and your own life. it's fair to say it was the beginning of a trend, no? >> it was. this is not accidental. it's not the result of incompetence. what is our right to defend ourselves? it's a god-given right. it's a basic human right. the powers that be that want to destroy our government, destroy our freedoms and culture, they can't tolerate the concept of there being a power greater than government. they have to do away with your god-given rights, all your rights and leave you with nothing government-granted privileges that could be revoked in a moment's n

the one in st. louisstion had violated the electronic monitoring 50 times before the accident. so you have this repeat offense, and these district attorneys are basically acting like defense attorneys rather than as prosecutors. so these are also cities, i should mention, that are lacking hundreds of police officers. crime is absolutely out of control, homicides remain at record levels. they need to be serious prosecution of serious crimes. >> sean: we now see the impact of weak prosecutors. crime explodes and communities, but these prosecutors keep getting elected. what's happening with voters that would elect these george soros-backed d.a.s and completely destroy their communities? explain that to me. >> we are seeing fund-raising explode, especially when soros-backed organizations and think tanks are able to pour in the kinds of resources that turn a d.a. race into something like a congressional race. shame on the left, who used to claim that when you put money into politics it ruined things. they have

st. louisies and families all across the country were in need of emergency assistance during those uncertain times. when such stories shared by the national employment project comes from our constituents a single mother from st. louis who said if it wasn't for unemployment i would have been put out of my apartment. think god for the help. still trying to get myself out of debt but the pandemic unemployment gives me and my son a little security. a single parent getting no help plus losing my job. so it has definitely been a blessing. the c.a.r.e.s. act created a temporary unemployment insurance program caused in signing the rescue plan into law and other temporary unemployment insurance benefits the p wave marked unemployment insurance benefits to workers and families who were otherwise excluded from other ui programs it was the difference between a full dinner table and an empty one for a number of families. mystics and, who benefited the most from these programs and can you tell us why? thank

the whole process, kim, gardener, was elected in district attorney in st. louis county, she set up what we call a conviction integrity unit, which is very important institution, where the district attorney, softness itself looks at their own cases when an innocence organization like the midwest innocence project comes to them and says, we think this man is innocent. would you look at the case to get with us and we'll work on a joint search for the truth. but what's remarkable here is that the district attorney of the district attorney's office found in their own files, exculpatory evidence like that affidavit, you're talking about that should have turned in, turned over at the time of the trial. and yet, notwithstanding that exculpatory evidence, and when the district attorney's office went to this court and said, we want to vacate this conviction because we think this man is innocent. the attorney general's office and the state of missouri intervened and said not have jurisdiction to do this. this shouldn't be done. we object to this process. and then with the w

what we have in the city of st. louisneglected her duties. will: the effort to oust kim gardner clearing a major hurdle. the missouri supreme court now appointing a judge that could remove the george soros-backed prosecutor from office. state attorney general andrew bailey alleges gardner is neglecting her duties after a repeat offender out on bail allegedly hit a girl with his car last weekend. georgia nay ed mundtson lost both of her legs in that collision. a gofundme account raising almost $600,000. joining us now, missouri state representative ben baker. representative baker, that's a, an incredible tragedy. she's had both legs amputated off of this incident that happened earlier in february, just not long ago. tell me a little bit about this offender, why he was on the streets and what kim gardner had to do with, what her actions, how they led to this tragic moment. >> sure. so daniel reilly was the guy that's driving the car. and come to find out he is an offender that should have been in jail, and that's the whole

kim gardner is hurting the people of color in the city of st. louis and all people.blem is very simple. these type of cases, sandra, the district attorney races don't get the media attention and george soros' dark money is used to negate any challenges from the opposition candidate who believes in law and order. and that's why kim gardner has been in office since 2016. and she's up, i think, just recently, been disciplined by her own state bar. >> sandra: and that is why she is at this moment facing an unprecedented push to get out of office after that volleyball player, 16 years old, hit by a vehicle, lost both her legs while visiting st. louis with her team. it is a sad, sad story, and affecting so many americans in this country right now. and the money is still there, and as long as the money is there, do you predict change any time soon? >> let me be clear and honest to the fox viewers. no. i live in los angeles. i have to have my head on a swivel, it is dangerous in los angeles, it's dangerous in san francisco, dangerous in chicago, new york. what do they have i
