from Hang Out with Sean Hannity · host Fox News Media

Former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio joins Sean Hannity for a candid and often intense discussion on "Hang Out with Sean Hannity." In this wide-ranging interview, de Blasio makes a surprising admission regarding the "Defund the Police" movement and squares off with Hannity over the future of New York City, crime, and the "mass migration" of residents fleeing the state. We also go behind the headlines as de Blasio shares deeply personal stories about his childhood, his father's service and injury in WWII, and why he remains a die-hard Red Sox fan in the heart of Yankee territory. 00:00 - 01:21: Margaritas and "Comrade de Blasio" 01:21 - 02:31: Why Hannity Should Move Back to New York 02:31 - 04:32: The Marist Poll: Why 1 in 3 New Yorkers are Fleeing 04:32 - 08:31: Taxes, Crime, and the "Quality of Life" Debate 08:31 - 10:27: De Blasio: "Defund the Police Was a Mistake" 10:27 - 12:05: The Truth About Bail Reform and Judicial Discretion 12:05 - 16:53: Social Workers vs. Police on Mental Health Calls 16:53 - 20:18: The Washington Square Park Snowball Fight Ambush 20:18 - 22:12: Why a NYC Mayor Supports the Boston Red Sox 22:12 - 31:30: A Tragic Past: De Blasio's Father and WWII 31:30 - 34:01: The State of the Union 34:01 - 45:05: Common Ground on Undocumented Immigrants? 45:05 - 53:54: Heated Debate Over Law Enforcement Conduct 53:54 - 59:59: The "Tale of Two Cities" & Chicago Crime Rates 59:59 - 1:10:07: Voting Laws and ID Requirements in New York 1:10:07 - 1:18:13: Redemption or Risk?
