you have also got barrier islands behind me. hutchinson island and jupiter island. about 30,000 people total live on those islands. not all of them have evacuated. it s getting to be pretty much too late in the process for them to evacuate. the bridges are going to be closed. once that happens, they re not going to be able to get to these people during and after the storm maybe for a couple of days. and hutchinson island, they have cut off the water. the people who have stayed there are not only going to be maybe isolated and cut off for a couple of days, they ve got no running water. that s a calculation that they had to make. hopefully a lot of them have filled their bathtubs with water, that s what they tell you to do in these situations, but you can see the surge here, getting intense now in the later evening hours and it s going to be like this probably for at least the next 12 hours. brian todd, stay safe. i have to go to port saint lucy where the mayor is overseeing preparat
for his crowning domestic policy achievement. you would be wrong if you thought that. it looks like she s endorsing my crime bill. laura: no, i don t know if you knew where he was in that q&a. this was a golden opportunity, my friends, for president trump went democrats and o even so-called moderates like bidenen have essentially ceded any measure of realism when it comes to fighting crime. joining me now bernie kerik, the commissioner, bernie, now what would the rollback of 94 crime bill mean for let s just say focus on new york for a moment. you know, this is ironic laura, if you focused on new york, you would have to go pre-giuliani in 1994. the highest crime rates in the city s history. 2400 homicides. you had mothers putting their kids to bed in bathtubs to prevent them from being shot at night. giuliani came in a 1994, between 1994 and 2002, new york city had
business in your community if people are afraid of gunfire? of mothers are putting their babies and bathtubs at night, afraid of random gunfire? now. so without cleaning up the city, without reading the crime, reducing murder rate, you are not going to have business, you re not going to have good schools, you are not going to have none of that stuff bears all of these democrats all over the country, that run these cities into poverty and let the crime go rapid, it s wrong. that is why he don t have anything in the city. they say socioeconomic development no, it s nonsens nonsense. economic increases, real estate value increases, tourism increases, i can show you percentage points of increases for every percentage point we reduce crime in new york city. and giuliani left office with a 65% reduction in violent crime and a 70% reduction in murder. the most substantial reductions anywhere in this country. jesse: yeah, and this is

filled with spackle from a building and i ve when i saw that cop get hit in the head with applique, and the cops get tossed with water, total disrespect. disregard for the police. i think of the david jenkins years. i think of the years that mothers had to put their young children in bathtubs worried about gunfire for coming in from outside. i think about the highest crime rates, the highest murder rates in the city of new york, in the country. rudy giuliani came along and change that and you know what? bill de blasio is a worse mare than david dinkins. those cops walked away yesterday because they knew they would not be supported, they would not be indemnified by the city, by a mayor that despises cops and tells his son to look out for cops. the city is completely
