towards law enforcement not to he thinks heightened terrorist threat reporting isis-k could care out a attack when not if going to see something like this as a result of wide-open border worrisome. liz: i cannot imagine 300 thousand people last few months, in have our country millions across the border illegally there after all kind of people we do not want in our country, the idea, that no one is tracking these people that they are put on planes, flown atrocity country at night unconsable. >> single biggs cause of death among young americans, fentanyl event poisoning when

serious about influx of migrants hold them accountable, the laws and legislators let this happen jp white house i hope voters do in november this is outrage to all americans. maria: obviously, luke, immigration has become the number one issue, for voters right now because people understand, they connect the dots, crime is spiking there are worries about who is coming in not about you know, not about the people who are running from percent reviewings a pressure on system, but about who we don't know coming in whating intentions are. >> half of democrats democratic voter base knows that the border is a crisis, even in bipartisan issue at this point for from one side, you know i hear talked about only biden administration, interesting is 40-billion-dollar is going into mexico from will investments the majority from

united states we haveing bargaining power the question becomes who is going to use that power we know trump did, the biden administration not using that my concern we have law enforcement, that we did in 2008, population grown 10% from since then. the democrats voter base democratic you know, administration, is not supporting the border so why would young people want to get involved in law enforcement if that aren't get support for the infuriate concerning about law enforcement system in engine for the future crime is running rampant. >> former president trump slamming president biden after mexican president obrador, had incredible a demands said u.s. must pay 20 billion dollars in aid to latin america every year, each year to quote, so flow of migrants will continue if they don't pay up, trump told fox's brian kilmeade

would not happen on his watch watch this. >> -- lack of respect for the, never say that to me, they want 10 billion dollars a year mexico asked for 10 billion dollars a year would never ask i wouldn't give them 10 cents. maria: cheryl trump's watch deals negotiations with all countries but that sounded like a veiled threat to me from obrador. chery: either. >> send 20 billion a year ten billion mexico alone or flow continues. chery: obrador made the tlaelt it was threat, maria,, on "60 minutes" of all things i can't believe they broadcast it it was an open handout for cash. i don't know what type of power obrador thinks he have a has but seems to think that joe biden is weak. he seems to think that he is now in control of the border, i guess somebody is in control of the border, might he

mexico, look this is he president trump said to brian kilmeade, obrador obviously, has a lack of respect for our country, for our rules at this point we don't have a law when it comes to general laws on border, and lack of respect for our leader, currently joe biden. >> there you go, liz a democrat new york city council members pushing for free mental health services to migrants 15 million dollars tax money, a year, buy free therapy social services emergency housing for migrants when dit mental health services become in such need for illegal migrants i continue follow this liz: preposterous all kinds of people in our country city

affected hundreds diplomats in cuba giving them debilitating brain injuries, where they can't hear, they have functional, dysfunction they one of the things they told me was somebody sulfur from havana syndrome you and i put a finger in front of face see two somebody from this can only see one, that is one symptom they have, the evidence is growing that the russians are behind it, obviously, you know they can do whatever they want in cuba since their big ally, a serious problem happening not just in cuba but around the world. maria: how targeting americans there is a device to carry this out what specifically is the weapon. >> we don't know what the weapon is seems to be i mean my theory some kind of directed energy, toward a specific area then anybody in that area is going to be affected. so, yeah.

it is pretty serious stuff again like i said not just happening, it started in half anna first time noticed it now seeing it around the world, they even targeted, a nato summit some of our generals targeted people there, too we got to find out what it is protest sure the russians are behind it. >> this is incredible the national security that issues have come to light in the last couple years are stunning. op-ed in miami heral slamming the biden campaign hispanic outreach in florida. they call it quote three gringos in coral gables launched biden-harris latino campaign the piece points out did not feature latinos or big names at opening of miami did a democratic hispanic caucus office sent gentlemen gentlemen doug emhoff kamala harris's husband, nikki fried,

what do you know about this? >> yeah, hard to find hispanics in miami-dade, i think i must be only one, look. it is par for the course for democrat party. they are you know, blind, deaf, tone-deaf yeah, so i would think that when you have hispanic outreach you launching, you would have hispanics involved, look. the problem with democrat party they know it not joking is that hispanics are turning away from democrat party, in general. and -- and joe biden in particular. more and more hispanics saying hasta la vista to the party they know it they have a huge problem the fact that they didn't have hispanic on this is just -- just plain dumb. and the optics are horrible. maria: who us running things there congressmaning everything from bad policy to dividing us, you know over and

over again, you know, declaring easter sunday as transgender visibility day what kind of a tin ear does that. >> again these people are just -- they are tone-deaf, and they continue to be tone-deaf the democrat party is more and more just white, liberals ultimate liberals socialists hispanics turning away from that, more and more african americans turning away from democrat party they've got a huge problem on their hands, they are ultra left ideology, you know doesn't fit with normal americans hispanics are normal americans so are african americans, we just don't abide by those values and that is why turning away from them. you are going to see president trump get -- get probably the highest number of hispanic votes of any presidential candidate in that is a

republican presidential candidate in history. >> maybe, but don't you have also issues on republican side? i mean you've got extremists on both sides, now nebraska congressman bacon says possible mike johnson will be removed as speaker of the house. if he brings the ukraine aid bill up for vote speaker johnson called for republicans stick together was on fox news last night with trey watch this. >> i think republican colleagues recognize a distraction from our mission the administration to save republic only way we can could that if we grow house majority win senate, white house we don't seed disenion right now we have smallest majority literally in u.s. history a one vote margin when you could math get a majority vote i can only lose one not getting a legislation we all desire, prefer. maria: congressman, shouldn't you all be sticking together at this point?

and pointing out biden flurdz rather than having infighting win your own? >> duh, yeah, exactly what we should be doing but then we have, some members that want to put the attention on themselves. not on things we have to do, as a conference, as republican party, what really bothers me, maria, i have to vote on legislation which more to the left than i really want to because of this fringe supposed to be the ultraconservatives are forcing our agenda to go left threatening our speaker again you flow me was i wanted kevin mccarthy i knew nothing was going to change dynamics didn't change we are exactly the same place right now, with speaker johnson when

i support than we would have been with kevin mccarthy so this whole episode removing speakers, threatening speakers does nobody any good sent the democrat party. he were certainly doesn't do country any good duvent do republican party any good, so, yeah, we need to come back together, get some sanity back in our conference. we do feed to grow the majority, that is the only way that we can save this country we need a new president we need president trump to be president we need to control the senate. that is the only way, you are going to reverse many of these policies hurting every day americans. today. maria: we will see if you can do it congressman, thank you we will be watching we so appreciate your dime this morning carlos giménez in florida we'll be right back. .

york. two years two months since detectives made ultimately sacrifices like my husband jonathan diller, rivera stood in front of all pleading for change, that change never came. so many more police officers how many more family need to make ultimately sacrifice before we start protecting them? >> joining me former, new york city police commissioner, thank you a true heartbreak what happened to nypd officer johnson diller your reaction. >> always gut-wrenching the eulogy by mrs. diller unfortunately seems to fall on deaf ears in new york as far as skruns the state legislature is concerned, they do things made with enemy

people of new york and enemy put in silly laws meant to hamspring the police officers there is no discussion about change here they don't want to do it because -- both parties veto-proof they can do it say we're doing it because we can do it, i wish there was light at the end of the tunnel i don't see it. maria: diller's alleged murderer repeat offender over and over again 21 previous arrests five year prin stayed on record a man fatally pushed a stranger on subway traction last week also repeat offender officers say that attack was totally unprovoked, the fact we keep seeing the same thing happen over and over again, by people who faced very little or no consequences. for repeated offenses. >> you are right you are absolutely right. all no, he consequences,

remember three strikes and you are out something in 90s, swept across the nation. you only hear you don't hear about that anymore basically not enforced some states have it but not enforced not used you see -- people arrested released, arrested again easiested soon thereafter a legislature only one can make a change in that regard so far, unwilling to do it. and unfortunately more police officers are going to be at great risk people, mostly throughout the subway because it is just -- feels dangerous, there is absolutely feels like something could happen to you people standing against the wall, in subway now put a lot of cops in the subway system cannot really sustainableable

the department head count continues to go down difficult to recruit new officers, it is going to be a struggling for quite a while i am afraid. >> so, at the end of the day, whose case will to it make a change? i mean, we need leadership, to actually make sure people understand that there are consequences so make this stop, right how will this end? >> well, you are right we need leadership. so far we don't have it, as i said the leaders -- new york legislature, say that there are not going to do anything because if they do something it is discriminatory against minority so they have a majority as i said going to keep that position. we don't have leadership there, the mayor does not have much sway apparently with the

state legislature or city council, city council keeps passing laws like how many stops or cops have to make out a form everybody they spoke to that is meant to harass the police. to get them to basically not do their job. so this is where we are. as far as leadership is concerned, we need a change of these people, in the elected positions, and we have to wait for the next election nothing is going to kwhaeng the cast of characters in place now until election time people don't know who city council leaders are they just don't know that is a manipulated, in new york city unfortunately. >> isn't it true new york council wants illegally migrants he illegals to vote it is only getting worst; right? >> sure that was actually passed by city council a couple years ago was thrown off by courts but they sure do

they migrants coming here voting voting for them clear as day, that is their goal. so the city council has become the enemy certainly of the police department, they took away qualified immunity the only jurisdictions major jurisdiction in the country cops can't use it as defense if sued personal hot house at risk tell people they don't have to cooperate with you if you stop them another regulation -- from city council, all these absurd things keep coming out, there is no end in sight, until the elections happen see what happens then. maria: when i -- i say "leadership" in under stories every squatters taking over peoples homes you've got one guy on tiktok telling migrants how to go invade homes, steal homes, nothing is done about it it took days weeks for

anybody to take this guy down, actually arrest him yet happens in florida? ron desantis makes an executive decision going to be a felony no squatter you are not going to take over a home in florida. ron desantis is leader came across and he made basically made sure aeb ebb knew this is not going to fly in florida also a pair of squatters suing a new york city couple after taking over their home nearly-million-dollar home in queens couple in legal debt after pushed out of their own home. >> incredible, i have no idea myself i have been around a long time no idea the permissiveness, what nerve, you are right florida is ron desantis to be commended saw problem take it on addressed it with executive action we need something done in many states particularly in new

york state. along those lines, so far,. indication going to lap. where is kathy hochul liz peek jump in where is kathy hochul with squatting situation. liz: she is nowhere she is nowhere in general, ray, you oversaw a dmament turnaround in law and order in new york city exactly this superiority of thing that we need to have happen right now, would it make a difference, if kathy hochul fired alvin bragg at least we had a new -- regime in which there was some effort to enforce laws? i mean, yes some of the stuff he isn't enforcing is small potatoes but whole idea of enforcing small laws and crimes, holdings people accountable, so as to go after big fish disorientate you think might mike a difference in new york. >> absolutely alvin bragg

major impediment the new york crown district attorney's a bellwether organization one of the best in the country, so what they do is follow all across the country certain -- in new york city, he has the nerve to put forward seven-page memorandum day one delegate all what he wasn't going to enforce, going to tell you what you are going to do? >> he is quite proud of it he hasn't paid any penalty would it be good if he was removed absolutely but i have serious doubts it will ever happen the politics just -- doesn't work for governor hochul now, i don't think going to be done, sure would be, a bonus a benefit to all of us, if alvin bragg were taken out of office liz: sorry maria it is case that 90% of new yorkers want law and order reestablished in

subways on streets, et cetera, i cannot imagine the force the will of the majority at some point will not -- will not rule in this matter. >> well you would think so but so far we haven't seen any significant voting as far as anticrime is concerned. people are can been manipulated in city council elections that is for sure most people don't know who s city council is, 51 members city council, only six are republicans the rest are democrats some democratic socialists of america very comfortable with that don't feel any pressure to change qualify. maria: how donning could cycles take you've seen plenty in new york how long do you think it will take to actually get demolishing new york -- new york walk in a good place

depends ho next mayor is mayor adams, quite frankly,, at limit on promise to be tougher on crime we have to wait for next administration to come along i would say a comoot you know, two, three, four years before we are going to see significant change at least potential significant change in being new york city. >> all right. we leave it there ray always a pleasure to see you talk with you thank you, sir. . >> thank you, maria. good to see you -- >> stay with us. we'll be right back.
