jacob exactly. this is why cnn plus died. that is the reason. that reaction says everything about cnn. the only how is this guy living in new york and not knowing what is going on? sitting in is an apartment all day and just stuffing himself with doughnut holes. all you have to do is walk out in see what is going on. you could see crime, talk to victims of crime, you can look at the stats instead of talking about it as if it doesn t matter until it is a political issue. we ve seen for two years a crime epidemic explode. murder, theft, carjackings, but they can t cover it because we coverage. and how selfish is not that they can t be seen to ally themselves with us because we happen to be right and this happens ever from inflation, the border, crime.
democrat. one can be more powerful than the other but there s checksum is balances. if you let democrats run everything they very worst intentions will come to light i say the same things about republik end. if the balance each other up. new york city has no republicans counterpoint. we look at places like chicago or los angeles. the very worst ideas bubble up like the bill reform thing. that one of come through those kind of a balance between left and right, you have to have the mom and the dad politically together to create this. and also the last thing about the crime is look at places like cnn and other media. they did champion the demoralization of the police. they bought into it and that s field at the first ever national ferguson effect is when law enforcement pulls back and that led to more crime and the crime epidemic. he definitely said that the media have a larger spot responsibility is not disturbed blm s with that the message was
people were trying to get out of one train and get into another. cameras didn t work. and, you know, i don t see a single transit cop down there. this just adds to the fact as lauren was talking about people you know, after covid people weren t riding. they were trying to get ridership back. but this is not going to help. people are now terrified. in the new york post today, there is a quote a op-ed written by michael good win and it says crime and more crime and now this subway terror is the stuff of nightmares governor hochul and mayor adams on the hook making the city as safe as it was before bill de blasio. andrew cuomo and albany lawmakers handcuffed the cops and coddled the criminals. if the governor and mayor sincerely want to crush the crime epidemic, they must think and act like war time commanders. this is a war for the survival of new york and there are no partial victories. it s win or lose. it s absolutely right.
door. the president is attempting to move on that with the appointment of a new atf director. hopefully congress will get off their butt and confirm him, instead of dragging out the appointment as they usually do. new york has been aggressive in leading the way, however, in trying to deal proactively with this issue. even as recently as last night, four more shootings, five people shot in the space of a couple hours last night in new york. this crime epidemic is not going away soon. it ll take hard work to push it back. commissioner bratton, i m so glad you said what you said, which is, was, crime was worse 20 years ago. you know what, air travel was much more dangerous 20 years ago. we re not going back to where we were 20 years ago because the people of new york city aren t going to accept what everybody accepted in 1990, before your great work. let me ask you this, mayor adams, obviously, has the right instincts. he is trying to push forward.
a safer system. both the mayor and governor yesterday were quick to say that they did not believe this was an act of terrorism, but they thought it was still terrifying. one of the things was the idea of smoke canisters and gas masks. you saw the footage, people running and screaming. the end of the day, it is still a crime committed with a gun. we heard the president trying to crack down on ghost guns earlier with executive action. there is a limit. there is no appetite for federal gun legislation right now. what can this city and other big cities do across the country that are seeing a spike in violence, spike in shootings, what can they do to get the guns off the street? there is a crime epidemic in america, a lot affair with guns. new york is working very hard on that issue. the mayor has formed the anti-crime unit. highly trained officers working closely with the federal government to deal now with the plastic gun line. used to be the iron pipeline coming from the southern sta
