i noted that andrew cuomo was broadening the debate in that press c0 nfe re nce , was broadening the debate in that press conference, talking about attacks on lg btq press conference, talking about attacks on lgbtq communities, and saying it was notjust a case of anti—semitism, but talking about an american cancer of intolerance of other people and other peoples views. he is a democrat, and i was waiting for a more political point which didn't come in the bit i heard, but i wonder if there has been a response from the white house? not as yet, and andrew cuomo only spoke a short time ago, but there is no doubt that it was to an extent a political statement as well asa extent a political statement as well as a reaction to the attack, and there is a concern about division inside america which goes right to the white house and some of what president trump has said. for example, some critics have attacked him for at times appearing to suggest that there was an equivalence involving white nationalism, that was a famous moment in which president trump appeared to, as critics would say and

this afternoon, the governor of new york state andrew cuomo described the attack as domestic terrorism. if anyone thinks that something poisonous is not going on in this country, then they are in denial, frankly. how many incidents do you have to see from coast—to—coast? hostility based on religion, based on race, based on creed, based on immigration status. it's all across the country. it is an american cancer that is spreading in the body politic, an american cancer, turning one cell of the body against the other. once we become intolerant of differences, then we are intolerant with america. i also believe the situation has gotten so bad, frankly, that we have to increase our legal enforcement, notjust with more police, but we have to change the laws to call this what it is. this is terrorism. it is domestic terrorism. these are people who intend to create mass harm, mass violence, generate fear, based on race, colour, creed. that is the definition of terrorism. and just because they don't come from another country doesn't mean they are not terrorists, and they should be prosecut

the new york governor, andrew cuomo, has described it as "domestic terrorism". earlier my colleague, rachel schofield, spoke to armin rosen — a senior reporter at the tablet magazine — a jewish news website, who's been reporting on anti—semitic attacks there, for the past few months. nothing has really changed in the last five and a half months since i started writing about this. the official response has been lacking according to a lot of people in the community, the attacks have continued frequently and there is also no real agreed upon understanding as to why there has been such an uptick in these incidents. there is very little clarity on exactly what is going on and why. that was going to be my next question, whether in the course of your reporting you had put together a theory perhaps as to what is happening with this rise of violence and intolerance? the most important to understand about the wave of anti—semitic attacks which began in new york about 18 months to two years ago, there is no proven connection between any of the attackers. there is n

when the president left new york to make his official home in florida, andrew cuomo said good riddance. gregg: trump had an enormous impact in shape can the judiciary. i mentioned the vox analysis. to their credit, they did an analysis that shows far better credentials. >> this one of president trump's long lasting legacies. 187 federal court nominees. one in four of every federal circuit journal is now a trump appointee. they are all 50 years of age or below. so they will have a lasting impact on these courts. the president is filling the vacancies twice as fast. twice as many vacancies. this is one of president trump's real accomplishments. good for the conservative movement and in general. gregg: if you read the "new york times," and i don't recommend it unless you are looking for a good laugh. they say there is a media bias against liz warren and bernie sanders. they call it a centrist bias which i doubt exists because in the mainstream media there is only a liberal bias. >> it was a bizarre article. but i will say that senator sanders in particular has been overlooked by the media

cuomo, has said that police should double patrols and that is what we are finding in london and other cities in the uk that this is on the increase and it's a widespread phenomenon on and i've just been reading the slate on this and there isa reading the slate on this and there is a lot more going on than might appear. it's the steady rise of this which has been so worrying, both in the us and in europe and the uk. absolutely and when you are mentioning the actions of the people within the synagogue, shades of london bridge. people actually prepared to risk their lives and limbs in orderto prepared to risk their lives and limbs in order to control the situation like this but a list take robert's point that it seems as if it's a rising problem throughout the western world and we are only too aware of the problems that are here of course, not least of all with the corbynistas, the anti—semitism, the aggressive anti— israel, anti— zionist attitude that spills over and we know people like luciana bergerand and we know people like luciana berger and others have had the most appalling

we saw you earlier today walking alongside governor andrew cuomo. did you ask him for anything specifically, and is the jewish community of new york in your mind getting what it needs in the government's response? >> while i was walking with the governor i stressed to him that press releases have limited effect and there needs to be more concrete and more ongoing steps from state and local governments, and that's something the governor echoed in his conversation with the rabbi at his home and in his two press conferences where the governor stressed there will be an increased level of law enforcement presence for the long-term. and the governor also made mention that come 2020 he wants to propose new legislation next week or two weeks from now when these cases come about, prosecutors will have better tools to prosecute such cases. >> will that make you feel safer if that legislation is indeed passed? >> i mean, when government acts in the direction of taking hate crimes serious, that's obviously a good thing. but the challenge with many of these legi
