new york city is our home, not a playground for your misplaced anger. the safest large city in america because we respect the rule of law in new york city. although we have no specific threats, people like marjorie taylor greene, who is known to spread misinformation and hate speech, she stated she is coming to town. while you're in town, be on your best behavior. as always, we will not allow violence or vandalism of any kind. if one is caught participating in any act of violence, they will be arrested and held accountable. no matter who you are. i want to again thank the police department, the commissioner, for their response and for the necessary preparations as we deal with this major historical potential new event that would take place in the city. at this time i would like to introduce the police commissioner of the city of new york. >> thank you, mr. mayor. good afternoon, everyone. thank you for being here. as always, the nypd is prepared to ensure that everyone is able to have their voices heard peacefully while exercising their first amendment r

here is first the total felony offenses in new york city.here are the felony cases downgraded to misdemeanor. this is by the manhattan d.a.'s office from 2019, 39% to 2022, 52% downgraded to misdemeanor. and here are the felony cases declined to prosecute by the d.a.'s office, 2019 to 2022. those are some facts and data from new york city in manhattan. let's bring in our panel. former education secretary bill bennett. leslie marshall, democratic strategist and former white house press secretary ari fleischer. bill, what do you make of this field hearing and the results from it? >> well, you can't take politics out of politics. there is always politics in these hearings. i have been to 100 senate and house hearings. and politics is there. the question is what was the point? the point was to drama advertise what's going on in new york. and i think the most important statistic, bret, is the one you just put up. downgrading felonies to misdemeanors. it probably should be going the other way. probably should be upgrading misdemeanors to felonies.

what do we have in new york city? ness on the streets i've never seen the lawlessness we're seeing now. you may have seen "the new york times" piece from over the weekend. it found a small number of criminals are responsible for thousands and thousands of crimes in new york. >> i think, bill, that's why they have to really -- the narrow focus should be on the decarceration policies that not only alvin bragg but progressive prosecutors across the united states have implemented. can't do that without releasing violent criminals into the communities which commit more crimes. and since the decarceration idea is pushed by this sort of racialized fantasy about why people get locked up, the fact of the matter is if there is a racial component to this, it's that poor communities are dbein hurt by violent crime. the idea some people are committed criminals who need to be locked up if we keep the streets safe is something that is empiricly true. if they keep the focus on that it could be beneficial. >> bill: you have to make sur

:00 arrival into new york city. laguardia, his motorcade was going to head over to trump tower. this is so much, i should note the campaign operation has really tried to stay away from his legal efforts. all the individuals affiliated, his legal counsel, are not affiliated with the campaign epstein has remained a senior adviser to trump he had been affiliated with the campaign in the past and he has been with him every step of the way. when you think about the number of cases, andrea, it is not just this criminal trial that's going to go to court here for trump. at the end of this april, the rouge carol defamation is set to go to trial. the woman who has alleged that donald trump raped her in the mid '90s and has since filed a defamation case. set to go to trial in new york this month of course, there's the new york attorney general's case. the civil lawsuit filed by the new york ag last fall looking for $250 million in penalties. it hits at the heart of financial fraud allegations of donald trump's assets. not only

york. they are moving to districts like mine constantly. think big cities have seen the largest exodus ever. new york is no stranger to that either print part of that is crime going on in the city. i'm excited about the hearing tomorrow. i'm looking forward to hearing from these witnesses and how we can get rid of this woke nonsense and get back to governing. law enforcement is a core government and we need to be doing it wellin this country. jon: i am astounded the tourists flock to new york predicament for broadway and the sites and so forth maybe the skyscrapers. about 30% of new york residents say they want to move out of the city and this state if they could. >> right it's an alarming figure and obviously i see that and myrtle beach, south carolina pretty frequently but really surrounding areas or people are moving out of new york. they're moving out of new jersey and even california and moving to south carolina and other places. we need to get this back on track and crime quite frankly is a way we can do that. let's fix our communities and listed with
