about the mayors yesterday time of the crime issue prelates are with alexis mcadam she is live the 32nd precinct in harlem. the home precinct of those officers, alexis. >> erika, a lot of grief out here for is a tragic day for the city of new york. this all happened according to police sources in a matter of seconds for this officers walking inside the apartment in harlem trying to help when they were met with gunfire. two officers were shot as you mentioned 22-year-old officer lost his life. we are learning more about that rookie officer as nypd is grieving the loss of one of their own. take a look at this video parts where it all unfolded here in harlem just last night three nypd arguments with 32nd precinct responding to a 911 call from a woman who said she was fighting with her adult son. the officers walked into the back room to talk to the man, that woman did not tell any investigators there any weapons inside of the home. that is when the investigators said they got kicked open the door and started shooting the ambush left one officer dead and another in critical part nypd knowledge and find the article killed 22-year-old jason rivera you see him on the screen. rivera joined the department in november of 2020 he was the husband, a father, dedicated officer. he was met with so much of violence just last night. we are learning more about that the mayor of new york calling for federal help to stop the flow of illegal guns, listen. >> we have witnessed the failure on a federal level to stop the sale of guns to the city. were not going to live under the gun dangerous people in new york city. >> police say this was the gunman on your screen now identified as 47-year-old lashawn mcneil. mcneil shot critically wounded by a third officer try to run out of the apartment last night. investigators tell us mcneil was on probation for a felony drug charge in new york. also arrested nearly half a dozen times. in other states for a variety of other fences

shooting that violence against police here new york city will not be tolerated by the mayor speaking at a roundtable event in the bronx to hear that suspect. >> the released a letter officer moore wrote to the commander of the new york police academy in which officer, the deceased officer said he wanted to become a cop to help people here in the greatest city in the world, alexis thank you. >> eric and alexis the shooting of the two nypd officers came just hours after president biden told a meeting of u.s. mayors he not only opposes it defunding police department but isn't proposing to increase their funding. a group of senate republicans say they are concerned about a proposed executive order by the administration that would limit law enforcement access to certain lifesaving resources. live in washington with details records what does that mean alex? >> first of all the president did send out a tweet offering sadness and prayer for the two new york officers officers put on the badge and had to harm's way we are grateful to them and their family for their extraordinary sacrifice the present personal messaging towards law enforcement has remained consistent closing out the conference of mayors with this. we are helping her for the president for. >> cutting funding for police departments i increasing funding. look, we as cops do everything. >> everything indeed, that of the president said to the u.s. conference of mayors this weekend. flies in the face and according to several senate republicans runs counter to new action. just yesterday the group led by chuck grassley released a letter condemning executive order that would limit non- like armored vehicles and flash bang devices writing this, police officers will face a grim reality of this executive order is enacted and lifesaving equipment is restricted from them. violent crime will continue to skyrocket by the white house did respond to the letter beginning with this, the president longs the overwhelming majority of americans knows we can and must have a criminal justice system that protects the public safety and upholds our founding ideals of equal treatment under the law. as for executive action on police reform, white house press secretary jen psaki said the administration previously held back on it in the hopes of negotiating turning up a bipartisan agreement which we know ended without a deal, arthel. arthel: thanks alex, eric. eric: democrats and free all the criminals. that is the astounding call from the new york council member who represents the district. where the police ambush occurred last night. newly elected kristen richardson jordan picture represents the ninth district of harlem she has been an outspoken advocate calling to police racist and the legacy of slavery. she has long wanted the nypd to be abolished. last night she tweeted this was a tragic death and claimed calling for the abolition of the police department though does not mean the deaths of officers but let's bring in ray former new york city and seal of the group. he served on the beat for years. commission assessment in this horrible shooting was in the system he was on probation he got a rap sheet from assault to an officer to weapons possession. i now are city changes the standard of american society are under siege, your thoughts about what happened last night? >> think what happened last night underscores first of all the danger of policing. a somewhat ordinary call we have hundreds of thousands of those calls a year, turned violent so quickly, death, shootings happened. cops have to be alert at all times. secondly, i think the demonization of police officers that we have seen with a great vengeance since ferguson in 2014 have to play a role in the shooting. if you look at this suspect intonation on his facebook page, it is very much anti- police. he has that terrible uncle mirta video on their give a cop with two guns to his head being shown. something went in his head to kill police officers. it is incredible how much hate has been spewed on cop since ferguson and certainly since the death of george floyd it has been absently incredible. cops have been put back on their heels because of the dangerous talk. eric: the fourth police shooting and just this year. the mind of some these criminals and others, they see the police as the enemy and they think it's okay to open fire legacy as part of the discourse is part of the social media, as part of the political some of the progressive political issues we seen on the streets. >> absolutely. we see i've gone even further to the left. even further with their progressive ideas. what this needs is a first of all cops take less action and what it means more people, particularly people of color will be victimized. an braggs memo gives no reason no rationale for doing what he is doing. he is taking it upon himself to change it to law. it's a law that was written by the state legislature. we are still in for tough times for the city council's going to present a big problem to mayor adams to get his agenda going forward. eric: mayor adams a former member of the force captain of nypd let's read some of the tweets during the campaign. here's part of what she says. let's make harlem and bite defining the police and funding the people. she also wrote in june, always remember the police and prison systems are created to preserve slavery. to break the chains you must fight for total abolition. last june she also wrote you cannot reform a system of policing that was so firmly rooted in racism. defund and abolish nypd paid the service of never serving our communities, they don't prevent crime there an occupying force creator terrorized poor people at racial hierarchy and finally she says we demand immediate end of racist and cash bell system and immediate release of all new yorkers at rikers island and new york city jails. she sang let's free all the criminals and let's not have any cops. what is your answer to the new council member? >> how ludicrous is it to abolish the police. the police have needed more than ever by communities of color they represent. we have seen new york had one 100% increase in shootings in 2020 over 2019. it has remained at that level. the nypd lost about 15500 police officers to retirement and to just leaving in the last year end a half almost two years. so we are in bad shape in the city. memos of tweets like this absently do not help at all. i do not know what constituency she is playing too. it's not any sane same constituency i will tell you that. eric: it's her district. twenty platforms of progressive policies there is a need for this for social intervention the sort of thing for troubled homeless. she talks about social workers and here's the final tweet for your consideration quote, she says a pilot program in harlem which replaces police with social workers for mental health, 911 calls have shown social workers are better prepared to provide assistance to those in crisis. lesson cops, more social workers. so commissioner, social work through that an apartment last night and the guy comes out the glock, when you going to have? dead social workers and a guy running out on the street with a glock? >> of course, we have studied these things to the years the nypd. handling emotionally disturbed peoples done so well by the service unit of the nypd. psychological technician the emergency medical technicians, all sorts of training. w think you can replace them with social workers as been tried before it's not going to work. they do not want to expose themselves to the danger that would entail. in the very least they want the police there is no saving there. it is just ridiculous ideas that people who are familiar with going on can make these silly allegations. eric: we pray for the police officers involved in pray for all of the law enforcement or country protecting us and all the communities. they put their life on the line as we saw so tragically last night. police commissioner ray kelly thank you, and thank you for your service to our city. >> thank you eric. arthel: i second that eric, thank you.

ukrainian military has improved a lot since it was using these soviet air tanks a place here now in this kiev. but if it's going to go update against a state of the art russian foe that needs a whole lot more help. >> we need the international community to help us. i'm scared we cannot defend the country by ourselves. >> not only men but women and children are ready to stay for our country brick

diplomats at the u.s. embassy to begin a vacuum in the country it could begin as soon monday. now, over the weekend in geneva secretary of state tony blinked and met with his russian counterparts. >> this is not negotiations but a candid exchange of concerns and ideas. i made clear to the administer they are certain issues and fundamental principles that the united states and our partners and allies are committed to defend. >> the state department says no official order has been given yet for families to take part in addition to the weapons shipped into greg mentioned arrive less than

concerned ukraine capitol city is now on the quote crosshairs. here the white house president biden refused to answer questions about russia before leaving for camp david were as you mention, he will huddle with his national security and this weekend to discuss situation in ukraine. >> arrays are not going to time for questions now as these guys ask about russia not anything to chips. >> this week marked the end of president biden's first year in office and now it's looking like more in year two oversees the tensions the highest they have been since the cold war, eric ricketts aren't lucas thanks so much, arthel. arthel: in hopes of preventing a ukraine invasion secretary state anthony blanket yesterday held a 90 minute bilateral meeting while there were no breakthroughs on ukraine, the u.s. and russia are on a quote clearer path to understanding each other's concerns. rebecca grant, doctor rebecca grant joins us now pay she's a national security military analyst and president of independent research. i want to get to diplomacy and a moment pray first lemming to set the stage, nato is the largest military alliance putin is obsessed with nato. ukraine is not a member of nato, ukraine is still the last standing sizable land a barrier between the nato countries and russia. but putin also wants it in writing that nato will not expand it to the east it. this will some nato countries are out there ready. if putin does invade ukraine. however all 30 nations are not united on how to respond if putin proceeds. my question to you, what option of consequences atlee president biden? >> what a great question for you are right, arthel, putin really is obsessed with nato. make no mistake, ukraine is not a nato member but officials go to the nato meeting, ukraine is in the cyber early warning system. we have forces there helping train ukraine. that means basically we have to defend ukraine's existence as a sovereign state. biden's option they are at camp david they were looking first of all at what is the real posture of russian forces. are they getting ready to move? are they all sitting around drinking tea? now we have to see a lot more military maneuver by nato to reinforce ukraine to work. >> there's a bipartisan group in congress to impose sanctions on working on natural gas pipeline to russia. ukraine is practically begging for the sanctions. germany those supports the pipeline if it putin ukraine, does president biden have a choice on closing sanctions on those countries? working with putin on his pipeline? has an option to impose sanctions earlier to try to help deter right now the norton stream to pipeline cosa from russia and pops up in germany is not turned on and the officials say he might be willing to hold off sanctions are one of the u.s.'s best options. one would be do them right now pray that all's legacy president biden come out of camp david ready to have the pentagon it's the no kidding military situation with russia what's really going on with the forces surrounding ukraine he would have to let congress and hey listen we will take strong military action for. >> exactly. putin has turned this into military confrontation continuing to talk it. we need to see more military resolve it order to divert her potent progress right to the question what is the u.s. ready to do? we see the security systems antitank missiles going in. remember, arthel, we have about 150 soldiers to look barney national guard the teams that are in ukraine right now on a training mission. there may be some others. we also have a lot of nato aircraft and u.s. forces in that area. we are involved in this already. we need to see what's the next military options be to help defend ukraine and try to deter putin and convince him it's just not worth it. >> that is the thing, president putin is provocative, he shrewd, he's pompous. he is not unintelligent. doesn't putin know invading ukraine and invoking a strong allied military response is just not a good idea? >> i hope he is getting that picture of the remarks this week were biden made some plugs and talks about minor incursions really did not help. there's still time to turn that around. putin has got to look at that situation and say it's just not worth it. right now, following on the debacle in afghanistan, he is gambling the u.s. is a week and nato cannot get it together. i think he is wrong on that. nato has been pretty firm they demand ukraine sovereignty be respected. we see them making quiet moves to reinforce that. the key now is to use diplomacy and military reinforcement that's not worth they should not step across. if he does it does not go well for him. european commanders do not think he could hold ukraine over the long term but we want to use just enough military force to deter him now. >> the fact that germany is last signaling. if we need to impose sanctions on the company's work on the pipeline directly to us, we might be okay with that. before it was a hard fast no don't do it. maybe there is hope. doctor rebecca grant i always thank you for breaking down these complicated issues, thank you very much for your expertise. >> thank you.

>> right absolutely. arthel: live there in la joya, texas, thank you bill. eric: term on the situation the border now turned to brandon perez of the national border patrol council per he joins us from arizona. what you think that expansion of the remain in mexico policy, the expansion bill just told us, do you think they'll have any meaningful impact? >> it will fits implemented correctly. phones with a handful people like were doing in el paso and san diego, is not going to mean anything. when you look at apprehensions for only expelling about 300 people is just not going to be much less as a drop in the bucket is not going to deter anybody. >> you mention a handful the numbers seem overwhelming. >> yes, the numbers we are dealing with we just do not have the resources right now to deal with it. the vast majority of our agents are doing administrative duties rather than out patrolling the border. the problem with that is is creating gaps for cartels to generate billions of dollars of profit. the cartels recognized all they have to do is flood us with illegal border crossers. that ties our hands and they are free to cross the higher value products such as opioids, fentanyl, and other hard narcotics that are making it into our cities and killing so many of our youth. that has just got to stop. we have to have border security in order to protect the american public. and right now we just do not have that big. >> were counts in the colon, you are because they. and yet it seems we try to stop it at one place it moves to somewhere else. what should the administration do right now to try to stop at or is it not even possible?
