♪ >> Pete: A MANHUNT IS UNDERWAY FOR THE MURDER OF 24-YEAR-OLD BRIANNA KUPFER, STABBED TO DEATH WHILE WORKING AT HIGH END LOS ANGELES FURNITURE STORE. THE ASSAILANT IS BELIEVED TO BE HOMELESS. HER FATHER SPOKE TO "FOX & FRIENDS" THIS MORNING AND HAD A POWERFUL MESSAGE FOR THE CITY'S LEADERS. >> I BLAME WHAT'S ENDEMIC IN OUR SOCIETY RIGHT NOW IS THAT EVERYBODY SEEMS TO BE ORIENTED ON GIVING BACK RIGHTS AND BESTOWING FAVOR ON PEOPLE THAT ROB OTHERS OF THEIR RIGHTS. I DON'T KNOW -- THEMSELVES WE DON'T ELECT THEM BECAUSE WE THINK THEY ARE GREAT. WE ELECT THEM BECAUSE WE THINK THEY CAN DO GREAT THINGS. ALL THEY DO IS TRY TO DIVIDE PEOPLE AND GET ANGRY AT EVERYTHING AROUND US. AND IT'S JUST -- IT'S GOT TO END. >> Pete: SUCH A GREAT POINT. WE DON'T ELECT YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE AWESOME. WE ELECT YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO THE JOB THAT YOU SIGNED UP TO DO, THAT YOU RAN TO DO. MEANWHILE, IN NEW YORK, A COMMUNITY IS MOURNING AFTER 19-YEAR-OLD CRYSTAL WAS MURDERED IN A COLD BLOODED BURGER KING ROBBERY. THE SUSPECT, A TEENAGER WITH SEVEN PRIOR ARRESTS IS FINALLY, ONCE AGAIN, BEHIND BARS. CRYSTAL'S MOTHER CALLED FOR AN END TO THIS MADNESS. >> MAYBE MY DAUGHTER IS NOT THE FIRST ONE WHO DIE IN THIS WAY BUT I WANT MY DAUGHTER TO BE THE LAST. >> DAYS LATER, IN TIMES SQUARE, THE HEART OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY, A HOMELESS EX-CON CONVICT ALLEGEDLY KILLED AN INNOCENT WOMAN BY SHOVING HER FRONT IN A MOVING TRAIN. NEW YORK'S MAYOR ERIC ADAMS, THE MAYOR SAYS HE DOESN'T FEEL SAFE IN THE CITY'S SUBWAY SYSTEM. >> WE ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE NEW YORK IS FEEL SAFE IN SUBWAY SYSTEM. THEY DON'T FEEL THAT WAY NOW. I DON'T FEEL THAT WAY WHEN I TAKE THE TRAIN EVERY DAY. >> Pete: THAT WAS ACTUALLY AN ABOUT FACE FROM WHAT HE SAID ORIGINALLY WHICH WAS EVERYTHING IS OKAY. LAWRENCE JONES IS "FOX & FRIENDS" ENTERPRISE REPORTER AND A GOOD FRIEND HE JOINS ME NOW. LAWRENCE, THANKS FOR BEING HERE. EVERY TIME. >> YOU GOT IT, BROTHER. >> Pete: GO AHEAD, PLEASE. >> I'M SO SORRY, BROTHER. WHAT THE MAYOR SAYS HE DOESN'T FEEL SAFE WITH A FULL SECURITY DETAIL THAT'S JUST A LIGHT. THAT'S LIKE PROJECTING TO THE CITIZENS, PRETENDING TO FEEL THEIR PAIN. LOOK, I TRY TO BE OPTIMISTIC WHEN IT COMES TO THIS MAYOR IT'S IT'S REALLY GOING TO STOP THE BLEEDING WITHIN NEW YORK CITY AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY, IT'S GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN RHETORIC TO STOP IT. HE NEEDS A STRONG STATEMENT GOING AFTER THE D.A. TO SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. YOU KNOW, WE GOT TO STOP PRETENDING THAT WE DON'T KNOW THE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. YOU GET THE BAD GUYS, YOU CUFF THEM. YOU PUT THEM BEHIND BARS. AND THEN YOU MAKE SURE THAT THEY DON'T HARM OTHER PEOPLE. FOR SOME REASON TO BELIEVE THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM HAS FLIPPED AROUND AND THE VICTIMS, I'M SORRY, THE CRIMINALS GET MORE RIGHTS THAN THE ACTUAL VICTIMS OF CRIME. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT DAD TALKING ABOUT HIS BABY GIRL BRIANA AND THE SHEAR STRENGTH THAT HE SHOWED IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT INTERVIEW. I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD DO IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE ELECTED LEADERS THAT DO NOTHING. DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, PETE? AND I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT IT'S JUST THE TRUTH. IT'S GOING TO HIT THEM IN THEIR FAMILY. THERE IS NO SHIELD NO MATTER IF YOU ARE ELECTED OR NOT. FOR THE MADNESS THAT IS HAPPENING ACROSS AMERICA. I WAS IN CHICAGO YESTERDAY DOING A LIVE SHOT TALKING ABOUT THE MOST VIOLENT COMMUNITY IN AMERICA, THE MOST VIOLENT BLOCK IN AMERICA. I WAS THERE YESTERDAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SHOOT, A GUY GOES AND COMMITS A STRONG ROBBERY, STEALS A CAR. THE GUY HE WAS STEALING THE CAR FROM HE WAS A ROBBER AS WELL. TWO PEOPLE SHOOTING AT EACH OTHER, BOTH STEALING CARS. THAT IS AMERICA TODAY, PETE. >> Pete: WOW, YEAH, LAWRENCE, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO SAY EVERY TIME BUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF TIMES IT FEELS LIKE HEINOUS CRIME LIKE THIS HAPPENS, AND THEN IT TAKES A DAY OR TWO FOR US TO LEARN ABOUT THE RAP SHEET OF THE PERPETRATOR. WE LEARN THAT VIOLENT CRIMES ARE ALMOST ALWAYS PRECEDED BY OTHER VIOLENT CRIMES OR OTHER CRIMES THAT ARE INDICATIVE OF THE CHARACTER OF THAT INDIVIDUAL. WHAT IS IT ABOUT THESE D.A.S WHERE THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND OR ARE THEY WILLFULLY INTENTIONALLY WANT TO BLOCK THE BACKGROUND OF PEOPLE AND SAY WELL WE WILL GIVE YOU A FIFTH CHANCE OR A SIXTH CHANCE. THAT'S NOT CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM. THAT'S JUST PRO-CRIMINAL. >> BOUGHT AND PAID FOR. YOU HAVE GEORGE SOROS THAT WENT IN AND DECIDED TO TEAM UP WITH ERIC HOLDER, THE FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. I HAVE BEEN COVERING THIS ABOUT THREE AND A HALF YEARS. THEY ARE MARRIED TO THEIR IDEOLOGY. YOU KNOW, I HAVE HEARD ALL DAY PEOPLE SAY WELL, YOU KNOW, IT WAS THE HOMELESS POPULATION. THERE IS A MONEY PROBLEM IN MANY OF THESE CITIES THAT THEY CAN'T MAKE SURE THAT THE HOMELESS GET INTO MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES AND GET SOME HOUSING. THAT IS A BLATANT LIE. L.A., FILLY, ANY OTHER MAJOR CITY IF YOU LOOK AT THE DOCUMENTS. THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO SOLVE IT WHAT WE SAW AND I HAVE BEEN COVERING THIS FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS IS WHEN YOU GO INTO THOSE ENCAMPMENTS, THE HOMELESS POPULATION HAS BEEN OFFERED RESOURCES BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW THE RULES THAT COMES WITH THOSE RESOURCES. IF YOU CHECK THEM INTO TREATMENT FACILITY THEY HAVE A CURFEW. THESE ARE PEOPLE GETTING FULL MEALS, GETTING CLOTHES. BOUGHT BY THE TAXPAYER, OF COURSE, BUT WHEN THERE IS RULES IN PLACE. YOU TELL THEM THEY HAVE A CURFEW AND THEY GOT STOP DOING THE DRUGS, THEY DON'T WANT TO DO IT. THEY GO BACK TO THE STREET AND THEY CONTINUE TO DO WHAT HE WANT THIS TO DO. AGAIN, YOU GOT TO CUT IT THE HEAD OFF THE SNAKE AND MAKE SURE THAT IT IS REAL JUSTICE FOR THESE VICTIMS OUT HERE. >> Pete: LAWRENCE, NOBODY KNOWS IT BETTER THAN YOU. YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH. WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME TONIGHT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. BY THE WAY, QUICK NOTE IN WHAT I JUST RED THE SUSPECT IN THAT WAS NOT A TEENAGER, MY MISTAKE AND WE ALWAYS
