Latest / INSIGHT TODAY / DSA calls for NYPD commissioner to be fired after ICE shooting
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So protests erupted in New York City following the ICE-involved
- 0:03Speaker 1: shooting of a 28-year-old illegal immigrant, Oscar Beljo, who had
- 0:08Speaker 1: a rap sheet of alarming crimes, including a prior criminal
- 0:11Speaker 1: conviction for grand larceny, multiple arrests for assault, robbery, possession
- 0:15Speaker 1: of drugs and weapons. And he's a part of a
- 0:19Speaker 1: local gang. But this didn't stop Mayor Mondami for appearing
- 0:23Speaker 1: to side with the suspect in condemning ICE.
- 0:28Speaker 2: There is no warrant for Mr. Birgal in New York City.
- 0:32Speaker 2: And when I brought that up to the secretary, the
- 0:34Speaker 2: secretary went into the same kind of language that you've
- 0:37Speaker 2: heard from the secretary since, which is implications of criminality
- 0:42Speaker 2: on the basis of evidence that will likely never be released.
- 0:45Speaker 2: And we are— too old now to know that trusting
- 0:49Speaker 2: ICE at their word is a fool's errand. What we see,
- 0:52Speaker 2: as you've said, is a rinse and repeat, an attempt
- 0:55Speaker 2: to justify the unjustifiable, no matter where it occurs across
- 0:58Speaker 2: this country.
- 0:59Speaker 1: And the DSA is chiming in to call in for
- 1:02Speaker 1: NYPD commissioner. Jessica Tisch to be fired, posting, quote, ICE
- 1:07Speaker 1: is a terrorist agency that must be expelled from New
- 1:10Speaker 1: York City and abolished. Jessica Tisch must get ICE out
- 1:13Speaker 1: of New York and in NYPD complicity with these terrorists.
- 1:19Speaker 1: If the commissioner can't put a stop to these injustices,
- 1:22Speaker 1: she must be fired. Let's bring in former NYPD chief
- 1:26Speaker 1: of department, John Schell. Chief, good to see you. What's
- 1:30Speaker 1: your reaction? They want the commissioner gone.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Absolutely not. That's a fool's errand.
- 1:34Speaker 4: Okay, the commissioner's doing a phenomenal job, and it's the
- 1:37Speaker 4: one agency in the city that's still maintaining a high
- 1:39Speaker 4: level of performance, right? So the DSA, why do they
- 1:43Speaker 4: want Jessica Tisch out? Because she's sending cops out there
- 1:46Speaker 4: to protect and serve the community of Bronx from protesters.
- 1:50Speaker 4: That's what she's doing, because the DSA and the mayor
- 1:53Speaker 4: want the protesters to destroy property and get to the
- 1:57Speaker 4: ICE agents physically and assault them.
- 1:59Speaker 3: So they're calling for.
- 1:59Speaker 4: The commissioner to step down because she's protecting the Bronx.
- 2:02Speaker 4: That's what we call, to use the mayor's term, a
- 2:05Speaker 4: fool's errand.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Chief, I'm just so shocked. First, just a few days ago,
- 2:10Speaker 1: you had a Dominican who's a cop that was stabbed
- 2:15Speaker 1: by two other illegals within this country. And then you
- 2:20Speaker 1: have no protest about that. But suddenly, when a known criminal, who,
- 2:26Speaker 1: by the way, had a machete, right, terrorizing the Bronx— no.
- 2:32Speaker 4: Comment— The Democrats in this city are criminals over communities.
- 2:38Speaker 3: There's party over public safety.
- 2:40Speaker 4: There was no outcry when our detective got stabbed seven
- 2:43Speaker 4: times by two illegal migrants.
- 2:46Speaker 3: And we're not painting all migrants bad here. You know
- 2:48Speaker 3: who we're talking about.
- 2:49Speaker 4: And now you're going to come out and you're going
- 2:50Speaker 4: to protect a Trinitarian gang member. That's pulling machetes, like
- 2:54Speaker 4: you said, robbing people in the street, terrorizing the Bronx.
- 2:58Speaker 3: The Trinidad Towers are the worst gang in New York City.
- 3:01Speaker 4: What they've inflicted on the city over the years is unconscionable.
- 3:04Speaker 4: Yet this is who the Democrats are going to protect
- 3:07Speaker 4: over law enforcement.
- 3:08Speaker 3: It's hypocritical.
- 3:09Speaker 4: It's an election year, and all they're doing is performing
- 3:12Speaker 4: for clicks. That's what this is about.
- 3:14Speaker 1: It's politics. Here's the DHS secretary.
- 3:18Speaker 5: The governor, the mayor, all these career sanctuary politicians, not
- 3:24Speaker 5: one of them said anything when their own, the NYPD
- 3:26Speaker 5: officer that was also stabbed seven times in this same
- 3:30Speaker 5: neighborhood in the Bronx just last week. They were completely silent.
- 3:34Speaker 5: And when an NYPD officer got stabbed, no one did
- 3:37Speaker 5: a press conference. No one was outside protesting.
- 3:39Speaker 3: No one said a word.
- 3:41Speaker 1: It's more of the same. I'm hoping we get some
- 3:43Speaker 1: change on this real soon.
- 3:44Speaker 4: Well, look, it could have been avoided if maybe Kyle
- 3:46Speaker 4: Maharis can tell us the root causes of 11 million
- 3:48Speaker 4: people who came through.
- 3:49Speaker 3: But if all can decide, you want to change this?
- 3:52Speaker 4: Let ICE into the detention facilities to vet out the
- 3:55Speaker 4: bad people, remove them safely, and you won't have.
- 3:59Speaker 3: This going on.
- 4:00Speaker 4: It's a small tweak to the system that will solve
- 4:02Speaker 4: 80% of these issues.
- 4:05Speaker 1: That's all we need. I want to talk about this
- 4:07Speaker 1: other suspect. He has a long rap sheet. He was
- 4:10Speaker 1: arraigned for more than 70 criminal charges related to this
- 4:15Speaker 1: ambush of Philadelphia officers. This guy's name is Eric Lewis,
- 4:20Speaker 1: a 35-year-old municipal employee.
- 4:23Speaker 3: Long rap sheet.
- 4:24Speaker 1: They let him out, and now you've got a dead cop,
- 4:27Speaker 1: other individuals dead as a result of this.
- 4:29Speaker 4: Again, Democratic City, weak on crime, bear reform up here.
- 4:33Speaker 4: This is what you get. You got two cops going
- 4:36Speaker 4: to protect and serve and get ambushed with 15 rounds.
- 4:39Speaker 3: An officer's cyber lost his life. Then he shoots at
- 4:42Speaker 3: nine other more cops.
- 4:43Speaker 4: This is— this world is upside down, and public safety is
- 4:46Speaker 4: at war with the Democratic Party.
- 4:48Speaker 3: That's the way I feel. They're not supported.
- 4:51Speaker 4: And a young cop, a father, lost his life for
- 4:54Speaker 4: trying to protect and serve Philadelphia— It's unheard of.
- 4:58Speaker 1: People don't know who they should vote for in this election.
- 5:01Speaker 1: They're upset with both political parties. What would you say
- 5:05Speaker 1: to them specifically as it relates to safety?
- 5:09Speaker 3: Public safety is number one in this country. Think about it, Lawrence.
- 5:11Speaker 4: If you don't have public safety, what do you really
- 5:13Speaker 4: have in any city, any town across America?
- 5:16Speaker 3: If you and your family are not safe, what does
- 5:18Speaker 3: everything else matter?
- 5:20Speaker 4: So to people who want to vote, vote for public
- 5:23Speaker 4: safety to keep you, your family, your friends safe so
- 5:27Speaker 4: you can go about their business going after that American dream.
- 5:30Speaker 3: That's the crux of it.
