there's a lot of different reasons this is happening, this includes catch and release policies. probably one of the biggest reasons is lack of proactive policing right now which is a direct result of

kayleigh mcenany is joining us to assess the impact of those crimes surges as more americans are dead from violence than ever before. >> it is unbelievable. there is no question why we saw what we saw yesterday on fox square. we see this in new york city and throughout the country. somebody who should have been behind bars are getting treatment somewhere out of the public is free to do what he or she want. that is why we are seeing this throughout the country and it is ridiculous our liberal cities, mayors, they do not seem to understand this concept, their number one job as leaders is to keep their people safe. that is not what they are doing and that is why we see this. >> you look at the massive fire that took place outside the fox news building and it was intentionally started, somebody could have died or been seriously hurt. you look at that and any sane person says the person who did that should be in jail but he's not, he walked free and the new york post said this guy told reporters outside the courthouse he didn't do it and went on this incoherent rant and said the moms that wants to rape their sleeping daughters set it on fire, obviously crazy and no one in the da's office think he is a danger to society. is charged with 7 different things, criminal mischief, reckless in danger in, arson, criminal nuisance, endangering others, criminal trespass, criminal tampering and disorderly conduct and no bail and this is one instance of this stuff happens thousands of times a day in cities across the country with 0 bail in california, proposition 47 and these liberal das let people out of jail because of this mentality they have where the criminals are the victims and you see what is happening where there's more murders than ever before that have taken place in 12 cities across the country. >> they are charging crimes like this is misdemeanors. there is no hate crime advancement to make it a felony. we've seen prosecutors charge things that. they can do it in this circumstance. they don't because part of this woke liberal mindset is to allow them no bail so they can roam the streets and do this. if you think this is an isolated incident walk

>> it could range 25 to 30 an hour. it varies. carley: it is so unfortunate we are in a situation where security guards are at risk and some need to be armed because of how dangerous the situation is. of any of your security guards prevented looting from taking place or are most of the nights they are working pretty quiet?

>> that is exhibit a. what we just saw and i can guarantee don lemon has not pumped his own gas or sat at a gas station in some time. i have a feeling he gets car service was the whole thing that you save $0.07 on gas is a game changer is hilarious and the inability of this administration to communicate with the american people is incredible and not in a good way. it seems to come from the perspective that voters are stupid reviewers are stupid. they appear to have the same perspective the way they think of their audience. gas prices going down a few senses not a major story. one must consider the overall context not compared to october like don lemon just said but a year ago. where do gas prices sit? we are still paying more than one dollar per gallon at the pump. obviously it takes many gallants to fill the tank these days currently $3.40 a gallon on average nationally. cnn serving at the pleasure of this administration insulting your intelligence that this drop is a game changer. people who fill their tanks today, feel no difference when they fill up those tanks. just like saying $0.16, you save that your fourth of july barbecue and that is supposed to be a big deal and people asked how cnn is down since the beginning of the year, how they are getting beaten by the food network, paramount tv, tlc, two hallmark channels and the partridge in a pear tree. this is how. >> this proposed curriculum in california to make masks more inclusive and the curriculum deemphasizes calculus, apply social justice concepts to mass. don't know how you do that but hundreds of college professors including ivy league professors design this letter that this is not a good thing. part of the letter reads reducing access to advanced mathematics and elevating trendy but shallow courses over foundational skills would cause lasting damage to stem education in the country and exacerbate inequality by diminishing access to the school needed for social mobility. i'm glad this letter was written. what do you think about it? >> it comes for good reason. math is not racist. it can't be. they are numbers. they are colorblind, they behave the same way for black or white or asians or latinos or anyone else and while we are distracted with this nonsense and that is what it is, the united states despite being the richest country in the world investing billions in its educational system is ranked 30 eighth in math when compared with other countries in the world. china is ahead of us, toddler claim you and what but more during our time in your time is what i mean by that. europe is ahead of us as well, we concentrate on race too much in this country even when it comes to math and our kids are not prepared for the real world and falling behind of because of this myopic viewpoint. todd: it is an embarrassment that needs to be stop. thank you very much. the secretary it was a horse which bill deblasio tending to squeeze local businesses one final time on his way out the door but how much more can they take?

>> a tough time and if you listen to small businesses in the new york area what they are saying is everybody is on the same page. they are pro-vaccine but where the issue is is they were never consulted, there's never communication with the private sector on the best way to roll it out and to ensure people are safe while not putting these small businesses, restaurants, bars out of business and deblasio doesn't seem to care. the fact he does this on the way out the door, 2 or 3 days before he is out of office is a totalitarian dictatorship type move. everybody wants everybody to be safe and new york city to thrive but it seems deblasio doesn't care what anybody thinks except himself. that the most frustrating part and it has been that way from the beginning that they only care about making themselves look good and doing whatever they want with no regard to what it does for the business and the city in general. todd: when you talk to small business owners during the pandemic, before and during this disaster of the last month of deblasio administration, what are they telling you? >> exactly that. they are hurt and nobody cares. this isn't really like local businesses fighting against vaccines are trying to keep everybody safe but protecting livelihood and they want to be helpful but there is no rhyme or reason to so many decisions, you can't have propane heaters, they haven't heard anybody, can't let people take drinks to go, nothing happened with that. there's been no decision seemingly to help these people survive and get through it. if i had a local business and deblasio literally on the way out the door just because he feels like it on a whim makes the first mandate of this in the country but what is this guy doing? it doesn't affect him. would he make this decision of his brother or close family member had a bar or restaurant would he do it to himself. he would probably consult them and find a solution for everybody but they won't do it and that is what is frustrating about politicians. todd: it is insane. before we let you go with end on a positive, a huge weekend, army-navy, we grew up, the same age watching this game, watching the snow in philly in the middle and or wherever, you're doing something to help veterans, what are you doing?

he lashes out at reporters. he denies that he committed the arson, and then he asked for a cigarette. you know, his father said this guy is a in the. you can't control him. and carley, sometimes it just feels like you are watching things in slow motion. the question is what is this man going to do next? we hope nothing, but you compare this to waukesha where you had another man with a dangerous criminal record and we all saw what happened at that christmas parade this happens all too often because of these, as you noted liberal bail reform laws. todd: let's play your, you are a lawyer, i'm a lawyer. we do know d.a.s have the capacity to charge up. they could charge this as a felony. arson in new york is a felony only though if you intend to harm a person or commit a hate crime. you and i both know the d.a.s if they want to they can charge up, yet, they don't. it's not just new york. it's liberal cities all over the country. tichina do we just have to accept this is going to be our way of life going forward here? >> in liberal cities, yes. do you live in a blue city? yes, and you have a liberal district attorney, yes, if you have people like aoc who denies smash and grabs are even happening. this bail reform law that went into place, todd, it allows you to get out without bail for things assault without serious injury, stalking, burglary, drug offenses. these are serious crimes. you can just get back out on the streets and go on to commit more crimes that results you meant maltly in some cases in the loss of human life which is such a tragedy because you just look at things and say boy this looks prevent be in hindsight. carley: white house press secretary says that the biden administration is helping with crime crisis because the fbi is working with local police agencies who need help the national sheriff's shows say several of the national trade groups representing local law enforcement have formed their own working group to coordinate a better localized response to the latest crime trend. this ground aggressively sought federal law enforcement resources to assist in this effort thrust far we are unaware of any planned orchestrated or cohesive response by the federal government. so, they say that what jen psaki said is not accurate. >> carley, i'm so glad that you bring the federal government into this. oftentimes when we talk about these violent crimes we talk about state and local jurisdictions. the federal government can do something here. i remember when i stood at the white house podium, i said if you defund the police, it will result in criminality at a time when violent crime is coming down. why would you defund the police? we have seen the results in minneapolis. >> we have seen increase in homicides up 89% from a year prior in new york city up 74% from a year prior. and the list goes on. but we did things in the trump administration. you talk about federal partnership with state jurisdictions, operation legend named after a 4-year-old boy legend who was shot in his bed and killed. that operation of partnership anarchist jurisdictions the president put out an executive order. if you are not stopping crime, we are not giving you money. there is going to be a consequence. there was measure after measure that the biden administration either stopped or rolled back entirely and now you see the result. todd: 12 u.s. cities setting new records for homicides this year. that's one record. here is some of them. philadelphia 523. indianapolis 246, columbus, ohio, 186, these are human lives. let's keep in mind if you don't keep people in jail through bail reform on the minor crimes or the misdemeanors, if you will, this is what happens. shouldn't republicans make this their number one issue headed into the midterms? >> it's definitely a top three issue. absolutely, alongside immigration and economy. we have seen it in polling that crime is a top issue. you know, a lot of these names are never mentioned at the podium i tried to bring up the names like jazlynd adams and is a core i can't turner beautiful little children all too often the victim of this outside of fox news and "new york post" you don't hear their names. you are exactly right. these aren't statistics, these are names, families and lice and in the most tragic of circumstances these are children that pay the cost for reckless liberal policies. carley: you are absolutely right about that. you have a new book out, it's called for such a time as this. my faith journey through the white house and beyond. so proud of you for releasing this book. tell us about it. >> thank you. yeah. it was a lot of fun to write. look, i talk about my time at the trump administration, my time at the podium holding the press accountable. all the things you would expect someone from the white house to share. so much more than that, it's the role that faith played in my journey. a lot of people don't know how emotional i was before i went to the podium it took a lot of prayer from sarah huckabee sanders, a lot of hosts at fox news. friends of mine, christians around the country that prayed for the administration and helped me ultimately to get to that podium and ultimately to achieve a lot of good for the american people. it's a journey of faith. i think viewers will draw a lot of inspiration for it for their own lives just like i was put in that position for such a time as this to reference -- viewers watching as well. carley: if you have a daughter or granddaughter this book would serve such inspiration for them in their lives as well. kayleigh mcenany thank you for joining us this morning and congratulations on the book. >> thank you so much. todd: congrats to you, kayleigh. with that busy show here and busy show ahead on "fox & friends." it starts right now, bye-bye. ♪ ♪ >> skyrocketing violent crime gripping the country. >> 12 major cities now have hit all-time homicide records. >> this is happening because democratic leadership have pushed policies like defunding police. >> senate republicans, with the help of a couple of democrats vote to block president biden's federal vaccine mandates for private employers. >> businesses have told me, you know, it's put them in a heck of a bind. they should have some relief. >> blm backing jussie smollett as the jury begins deliberations. >> black lives matter has no credibility what they're doing right now is further tryingo
