police are searching for the suspect. todd: rise of progressive soft on crime policy. joining me is alex barcamsky. what was the final straw for you? thank you so much. it is so good to be with you. with the show and the sense. i ve been listening to the forecast for today. the forecast is fine, i understand issue not forecast for democratic party. forecast for democratic party is not good. well, it just, it was relatively easy decision, no-brainer really. the rise of defund the police movement gave us a choice stand with police or stand with democrats. alec brook-krasny.
it s unamerican. it can be deathly. we can t continue that. steve: you are thinking about running as a republican now here locally. there are, what is it? 29 house democrats have decided, you know what? we can t win this year in congress in the u.s. congress and so they are retiring or they are calling it quits for whatever reason. alec, your former party has a big problem going into november with the soft on crime thing. absolutely. and i think those democrats in the congress, i m going to give them credit. i think they are honest people. they just don t want to dance around the issues anymore. go both ways so to speak. i just i give them credit for resigning, really. steve: okay. well, he might be running for congress. if you decide to, let us know. alec brook crass any, new york assembly candidate probably sir,
murders in the past year compared to 2019 as well. people don t feel safe. and they don t feel like the elected officials are looking out for them. because, as you know, with this new manhattan d.a. you have to pretty much kill somebody, alec, to go to jail. right. i think it s unamerican. many elected officials swearing in on the safety and security for the constituents and then police very providing for safety and security. there is no logic. any way you vote today in the democratic party no logic, whether it s education, whether it s safety and security. or, in fact, when i came to this country was very safe for anybody. even for democrat to say everyone s lives matter. you cannot say it now. it s ridiculous.
i was democrat in the assembly and carried bills that wouldn t be exactly bills for a member of democratic party. for example, a bill that would for capital punishment for cop killers or punishment for the senior abusers, punishment. i ve been always on law and order side and i just cannot stay with the party that we todd: bill like that will not gain a lot of positive support from your former fellow democrats. not just you, there is a problem nationally with the democratic party and this bears that out. 29 house democrats, congress, retiring or not seeking re-election, there is the big board on the screen. alec, what is wrong with the democrat message and tuesday is time to get out.
