at the same time. and we have a great police department in my county. but we have to depend on good samaritans from time to time to ensure public safety. and daniel penny is a marine. and he served his country vs. a guy who was arrested 42 times allegedly punched a 62-year-old woman in the eye and broke her eye socket. i mean, this doesn t make any sense. steve: then again, you know, i m sitting in a county, bruce, that is soft on crime. and we know that a lot of police officers that it s like, if i arrest that guy, they re just going to take him downtown, he s going to be on another subway in 15 minutes. ultimately this town, however, does not address the core issues. they are mental illness and drugs. and that is one of the reasons why we have got an out-of-control homeless problem. in nassau county i m investing money in those who have emotionally ill issues we
give them a paper with a court date on it, if the court date is many years from now, does that solve the problem? it s administratively getting the stamp come on in, but i don t know the percentage, you hear different stories for those who follow up for court dates. i imagine they grow less and less the further out they are. what do you make of that? well, first of all, you re exactly right on that, neil. and the mayor s correct on the first stat. it wasn t finished though. they go to the court the first time. they do go to court because that s when the benefits and a lot of incentives come and after that, you see the percentage drop in court and boom, never seen. and the system is not working, what the mayor is saying under title 8, which should be, if you come across the border illegally, neil, you re automatically supposed to be deported. you can see here on your video, you can see it in my county, that s not happening and i want to add, too, if i could, neil
over 1,039 as of yesterday morning in four and a half days released in my county. if it wasn t for the state of arizona working with my office and our local government here, the state is busting those people from my county to ngo s, it s not the ngo s picking them up, they re being released. if we don t pick the buses up at the local level, over a thousand people will be in the county. this is a broken system, i respect what the mayor is saying, if we re going to enforce the law, he blamed congress and the president and secretary mayorkas own this. neil: you re on the front line and i want to get into the cases and entrants, and i think 30,000 a month declare asylum usually from risky countries, cuba, nicaragua, et cetera, and
the county of office of executive to reopen. we re waiting to see what they do at this point, but right now we have this thing on hold. we will continue to take every legal recourse we can to make sure that this does not occur. this is going to be injurious to the people of rockland and injurious more so, mr. adadams, the people here already, compromised because of your thoughtless way of trying to run my county. it doesn t work that way, sir. neil: we have reached out to new york mayor eric adams. he has politely declined to come on the show, but hope springs eternal, maybe we ll get him on. one they think i wanted to be clear on, you had no warning much like your orange county supervisor counterpart who was with me in the last hour. there was no heads up that they were coming. some local hotels and motels were notified. what was the real skinny there? the real skinny is exactly
slashing teachers right after two and a half years of learning loss. well, you are right. we have to explain the details to people. for example, under the infrastructure plan with the biden administration brought to us, my state maryland got two and a half billion dollars that we ve been able to put into the baltimore tunnel and the protection of the chesapeake bay and my county, mcdermott county, has the largest electric school bus fleet in the united states of america. for the republican philosophy is that government is an instrument for private to self enrichment for the president, it is, family and a handful of corporations that put him into office. donald trump is of course the cartoonish example of, that he does not even pretend to stand for public interest. he could never make statements like joe biden just made about investing in the roads and highways and the streets and ports and airports. i sat there for four years in congress on the loan, trump we had in infrastructure we
