>> there shouldn't be a criminal justice system for people who are wealthy and i agree with that but there shouldn't be the consequences of soft on crime policies that only affect poor and middle-class people but not the lowly. we know president biden is going to a billionaire's home in nantucket, 13 acre estate, $20 million, the rich liberal elites confronted with the consequences of soft on crime policies because they don't live in those neighborhoods or have enough money they have private security and so these policies don't impact them. people like those in waukesha, you had john chisholm, soft on crime prosecutor in milwaukee left defendants with a long rap sheet, get out of jail when they should have been held on bond, mowed down a whole bunch of people killing 6 people and injuring 150. a shameful set of policies and the american people don't like it. they want to be fair but also wants to be safe. let's be tough on criminals. criminals don't get the benefit of the doubt and therefore keep them in jail, keep me safe and if you don't agree with that your poll numbers are going to take like president biden's which are in the mid-30s. steve: a lot of people are saying wait a second, what if there is somebody in my community i live near a city if somebody that was left out by some sort of progressive district attorney, is there any way das can go back to the books and read look at who was let out on low bond and try to make communities safer? >> all this is public. of the community wants to know what bond recommendations are made for, was it is all public but if you have a prosecutor saying i to bail reform, criminal justice reform, you should drill down into that little further if you are a voter to make sure they will protect the community and those are for your words that should make the bells go off, maybe this is not a tough on crime prosecutor or tough on crime judge and i want to vote for the other guy and elections have consequences. these are george soros prosecutors the ones to have no crime, no incarceration in america like what the squad wants and most americans go i don't want that and therefore got to pay attention, got to get involved and vote and got to help fund and work for fair but tough prosecutors that will hold criminals to account. >> prepare for thanksgiving which i imagine is like preparing for thanksgiving at an actual restaurant because you have so many kids. what are you thankful for this holiday?
