our elected officials who put their finger in the air and the went blew the wrong way. and the department of justice announced $1.6 billion in funding to reduce violent crime and strengthen communities and get guns off the street. are you seeing the money coming through and what is it being used for? personally, i m not seeing it. the fact remains that no matter what you try to do, no matcher how much money you throw at a situation, they throw to throw money at it. public safety is not at the cornerstone, it s going to fail. where i work, they have over 100 programs to help people with homelessness. why are people still in the programs? that goes with social programs. what kids is going to a program that they know that now based on
police officers on our subways. they don t want to see people locked up in jail. that is how we re going to restore public safety when democrats finally decide to push back against that radical left. in new york, with regards to mental illness, mayor de blasio had a thrive ny program. martha: it was run by his wife. yeah. people are still asking what happened to the money? nobody knows where the money went. i ve been calling for that to be audited. the doj should be looking at that. in addition on the state level, governor cuomo decided to shut down mental health beds and hospitals. we lost thousands of beds. right now you probably have about 15 per 100,000 in population. the recommended number is 50. so that is another reason why we re seeing people being put back on the street. we need to utilize law more to make sure that people get treatment. martha: it s a great point. we need safe, functioning, mental health institutions all
