Speaker 2: Welcome to the Buck Brief. Our friend Joe Burrelli joins

5
00:00:23,217 --> 00:00:26,417
Speaker 2: with us. He is the Sage of Staten Island, a

6
00:00:26,497 --> 00:00:28,897
Speaker 2: man who needs no introduction, but we will give him

7
00:00:28,897 --> 00:00:31,737
Speaker 2: one on this podcast anyway, because he is a city

8
00:00:31,777 --> 00:00:35,937
Speaker 2: council member in New York surrounded by communists, holding the

9
00:00:36,017 --> 00:00:40,977
Speaker 2: torture freedom and doing so for Staten Island. No less,

10
00:00:41,017 --> 00:00:43,377
Speaker 2: we have our friend Joe Burrelli here with us. Mister Joe,

11
00:00:43,417 --> 00:00:44,217
Speaker 2: good to see.

12
00:00:43,977 --> 00:00:47,337
Speaker 3: You, always, good to see you, Buck. Thanks for having me.

13
00:00:47,537 --> 00:00:49,897
Speaker 2: Okay, so I saw this. You know you got to

14
00:00:49,897 --> 00:00:51,737
Speaker 2: give us the update and what's going on in America's

15
00:00:51,777 --> 00:00:54,057
Speaker 2: biggest city. Because I saw this and there was a

16
00:00:54,097 --> 00:00:57,257
Speaker 2: part of me that thought this can't really be real.

17
00:00:57,857 --> 00:01:03,777
Speaker 2: But there's a law, a city statute, right that's under consideration,

18
00:01:04,057 --> 00:01:08,857
Speaker 2: city ordinance whatever. That would mean that members of the NYPD,

19
00:01:09,257 --> 00:01:13,257
Speaker 2: for any interaction direct interaction with the public while on duty,

20
00:01:13,617 --> 00:01:18,217
Speaker 2: would have to note the race, gender, and age of

21
00:01:18,257 --> 00:01:21,817
Speaker 2: the person they talk to. Can you give us first?

22
00:01:21,617 --> 00:01:25,017
Speaker 2: Is that basically right, I mean bring us into this conversation.

23
00:01:25,097 --> 00:01:26,057
Speaker 2: What's going on up there?

24
00:01:26,177 --> 00:01:26,257
Speaker 3: Ye?

25
00:01:27,377 --> 00:01:30,497
Speaker 1: So the city Council passed a local law for the

26
00:01:30,537 --> 00:01:34,537
Speaker 1: city requiring the police department and their officers to basically

27
00:01:34,577 --> 00:01:38,697
Speaker 1: fill out a checkbox form and an explanation or a

28
00:01:38,777 --> 00:01:42,657
Speaker 1: level one stop. So NYPD, like many police departments, per

29
00:01:42,777 --> 00:01:45,297
Speaker 1: case law, you know, years of Fourth Amendment, case law

30
00:01:45,537 --> 00:01:48,857
Speaker 1: has three levels of stops. So level three is when

31
00:01:48,857 --> 00:01:51,577
Speaker 1: you actually search someone. You go in their pockets, you

32
00:01:51,617 --> 00:01:54,577
Speaker 1: search in their waistband, a little bit more invasive. The

33
00:01:54,577 --> 00:01:57,817
Speaker 1: New York City Police Department already reports on those type

34
00:01:57,857 --> 00:02:00,857
Speaker 1: of interactions as to who we are stopping and frisking,

35
00:02:01,137 --> 00:02:04,257
Speaker 1: et cetera. The council passed a bill saying that now

36
00:02:04,337 --> 00:02:09,297
Speaker 1: level two and level one investigatory questions will have to

37
00:02:09,337 --> 00:02:12,857
Speaker 1: have the same basic treatment. So basically, if a level

38
00:02:12,897 --> 00:02:16,457
Speaker 1: one stop could be anything like, you know, an officer

39
00:02:16,537 --> 00:02:19,937
Speaker 1: going around with a picture of a missing kid saying, hey,

40
00:02:19,937 --> 00:02:22,217
Speaker 1: have you guys seen this girl? She's missing sin yesterday.

41
00:02:22,697 --> 00:02:25,097
Speaker 1: If they go up to a group of people and say, hey,

42
00:02:25,097 --> 00:02:27,857
Speaker 1: have you seen this girl, that officer at the end

43
00:02:27,857 --> 00:02:30,337
Speaker 1: of his or her tour has to actually go back

44
00:02:30,417 --> 00:02:34,297
Speaker 1: and do paperwork one document for every person in the

45
00:02:34,337 --> 00:02:39,097
Speaker 1: group she encountered and say their race, their gender, their ethnicity,

46
00:02:39,577 --> 00:02:42,577
Speaker 1: and an explanation of why they ask them some sort

47
00:02:42,617 --> 00:02:44,457
Speaker 1: of investigatory question.

48
00:02:44,737 --> 00:02:45,977
Speaker 3: So it could be that kind of thing.

49
00:02:46,377 --> 00:02:48,897
Speaker 1: It could be you're a police officer doing what you're

50
00:02:48,897 --> 00:02:51,177
Speaker 1: supposed to be doing, you know, maybe going to a

51
00:02:51,217 --> 00:02:53,737
Speaker 1: street corner where there's a high perpensity for crime and

52
00:02:53,777 --> 00:02:56,697
Speaker 1: gang activity. Maybe you see a group of young males

53
00:02:56,897 --> 00:02:58,977
Speaker 1: and you decide to go up to them and say, hey,

54
00:02:59,017 --> 00:03:00,417
Speaker 1: what are you guys doing here? You know, there's been

55
00:03:00,417 --> 00:03:03,697
Speaker 1: a lot of complaints around here, you guys behaving. Those

56
00:03:03,737 --> 00:03:06,497
Speaker 1: sort of things that were for many years encouraged by

57
00:03:06,537 --> 00:03:10,177
Speaker 1: police departments to embrace that's called community policing, are It's

58
00:03:10,177 --> 00:03:13,537
Speaker 1: now going to be just ways to generate more bureaucratic paperwork,

59
00:03:13,817 --> 00:03:18,217
Speaker 1: wasting more hours of police officers time Level one stops.

60
00:03:18,497 --> 00:03:20,897
Speaker 1: There were something like eight point five million of them

61
00:03:20,897 --> 00:03:22,937
Speaker 1: in the City of New York last year, so we're

62
00:03:22,977 --> 00:03:26,057
Speaker 1: talking of hundreds upon hundreds and thousands of hours of

63
00:03:26,097 --> 00:03:29,017
Speaker 1: police work. The sad thing is this is also a

64
00:03:29,057 --> 00:03:31,377
Speaker 1: case where the Left just goes a little bit too far.

65
00:03:31,897 --> 00:03:35,257
Speaker 1: They're never satisfied, the police department said, if you actually

66
00:03:35,337 --> 00:03:39,257
Speaker 1: just limit this to level two stops, they said, basically, hey,

67
00:03:39,297 --> 00:03:41,377
Speaker 1: you know, there's not that many Level two stops. They

68
00:03:41,417 --> 00:03:43,617
Speaker 1: are a little bit more intrusive, and we'd actually be

69
00:03:43,697 --> 00:03:46,017
Speaker 1: okay with this law. This is the direction the council

70
00:03:46,057 --> 00:03:48,257
Speaker 1: wants to go in. But for the left, you know,

71
00:03:48,737 --> 00:03:51,097
Speaker 1: no inch is good enough. They always want that mile.

72
00:03:51,177 --> 00:03:54,337
Speaker 1: And now they're putting basically the public in jeopardy by

73
00:03:54,377 --> 00:03:58,617
Speaker 1: requiring countless hours of nonsense every time an officer makes

74
00:03:58,737 --> 00:04:01,457
Speaker 1: a general question to mever of the public.

75
00:04:01,737 --> 00:04:04,177
Speaker 2: Joe, why do they want to do this? What's the

76
00:04:04,217 --> 00:04:04,977
Speaker 2: real reason?

77
00:04:05,497 --> 00:04:05,697
Speaker 3: Right?

78
00:04:05,817 --> 00:04:08,457
Speaker 2: What do you think is behind trying to make it

79
00:04:08,497 --> 00:04:12,337
Speaker 2: so that cops have to do these level one stops

80
00:04:12,377 --> 00:04:14,377
Speaker 2: and record them.

81
00:04:14,697 --> 00:04:16,457
Speaker 3: I think there's two schools of thought.

82
00:04:16,617 --> 00:04:21,697
Speaker 1: One is that police departments and police officers are inherently racist,

83
00:04:21,817 --> 00:04:23,817
Speaker 1: so we have to get to the bottom of who

84
00:04:23,817 --> 00:04:27,857
Speaker 1: they're stopping, who they're questioning, and why. And that's one view.

85
00:04:27,897 --> 00:04:30,537
Speaker 1: The other view is really even more extreme than that.

86
00:04:30,817 --> 00:04:33,337
Speaker 1: It's that we don't want police officers to be engaged

87
00:04:33,377 --> 00:04:36,297
Speaker 1: in our neighborhoods. We want police officers to almost not

88
00:04:36,497 --> 00:04:39,177
Speaker 1: exist in the City of New Yorker in a lot

89
00:04:39,177 --> 00:04:41,457
Speaker 1: of urban areas, and we're going to do everything we

90
00:04:41,537 --> 00:04:44,577
Speaker 1: possibly can to impede the works that police officers do,

91
00:04:44,897 --> 00:04:48,977
Speaker 1: because again going back to that first view, they're inherently racist, evil, fascist,

92
00:04:49,017 --> 00:04:51,377
Speaker 1: you know, boot licking the whole nine yards. So if

93
00:04:51,377 --> 00:04:54,337
Speaker 1: we can impede police officers, that's a win for the

94
00:04:54,697 --> 00:04:55,857
Speaker 1: violent and vocal left.

95
00:04:56,457 --> 00:05:00,177
Speaker 2: So it's meant possibly to just overwhelm the system. I mean,

96
00:05:00,257 --> 00:05:02,017
Speaker 2: I remember when I had a friend who was working

97
00:05:02,057 --> 00:05:06,617
Speaker 2: in the New York Manhattan District Attorney's office. He said

98
00:05:06,657 --> 00:05:09,057
Speaker 2: that one of the things the activist, the anti cop

99
00:05:09,097 --> 00:05:12,897
Speaker 2: activist you know groups and you know, lawyers associations, et cetera,

100
00:05:13,697 --> 00:05:17,577
Speaker 2: we're very happy with was creating such a massive paperwork

101
00:05:18,097 --> 00:05:22,017
Speaker 2: burden on district attorneys that they end up they they

102
00:05:22,057 --> 00:05:25,257
Speaker 2: don't actually have the man hours to fill out the

103
00:05:25,297 --> 00:05:30,377
Speaker 2: paperwork to prosecute people for lesser offensive so they just

104
00:05:30,417 --> 00:05:31,137
Speaker 2: have to dismiss it.

105
00:05:32,297 --> 00:05:34,857
Speaker 1: Right, And we always talk about bail reform as sort

106
00:05:34,857 --> 00:05:37,537
Speaker 1: of the culprit of sort of the lawlessness that's happening

107
00:05:37,537 --> 00:05:40,257
Speaker 1: in New York's major cities. But you're right, So the

108
00:05:40,537 --> 00:05:43,617
Speaker 1: new discovery laws that were pasted the same time as

109
00:05:43,657 --> 00:05:46,537
Speaker 1: the bail reform laws are in some ways a lot worse,

110
00:05:46,817 --> 00:05:49,817
Speaker 1: so you're less assuming we even have a prosecutor that

111
00:05:49,857 --> 00:05:53,017
Speaker 1: wants to prosecute. Certainly not Alvin Bragg, but there are

112
00:05:53,097 --> 00:05:55,737
Speaker 1: other prosecutors in the other four boroughs who would like

113
00:05:55,777 --> 00:05:58,497
Speaker 1: to to sort of ramp up their enforcement. From time

114
00:05:58,537 --> 00:06:01,537
Speaker 1: to time, they have to make a choice, you know,

115
00:06:01,617 --> 00:06:04,817
Speaker 1: do you allow prosecutor a do you allow them to

116
00:06:04,857 --> 00:06:08,457
Speaker 1: waste you know, eight hours of their working day filing discovery,

117
00:06:08,697 --> 00:06:13,017
Speaker 1: emotions and documentation for someone who's shoplifting or someone who

118
00:06:13,097 --> 00:06:16,097
Speaker 1: committed some sort of a violent felony. Obviously you're always

119
00:06:16,097 --> 00:06:18,657
Speaker 1: gonna go with the violence felon just about nine times

120
00:06:18,657 --> 00:06:20,697
Speaker 1: out of ten. But that just means that people that

121
00:06:20,737 --> 00:06:25,817
Speaker 1: are competing participating in repetitive, lower level crimes are just

122
00:06:25,897 --> 00:06:28,017
Speaker 1: simply getting away with it. So they're getting out on

123
00:06:28,137 --> 00:06:30,977
Speaker 1: no bail basically when they first get arrested because that's

124
00:06:31,017 --> 00:06:33,297
Speaker 1: the law. And then when it actually comes time for

125
00:06:33,337 --> 00:06:36,857
Speaker 1: them to show up in court, oftentimes these prosecutors, through

126
00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:39,297
Speaker 1: no fall of their own, in many cases, have to

127
00:06:39,417 --> 00:06:42,737
Speaker 1: plead down the case just because they can't possibly comply

128
00:06:43,137 --> 00:06:46,417
Speaker 1: with the discovery requirements of prosecuting this particular person.

129
00:06:47,777 --> 00:06:49,297
Speaker 2: I want to come back and ask you about how

130
00:06:49,337 --> 00:06:53,097
Speaker 2: things are going for the Adams Administration New York City,

131
00:06:53,177 --> 00:06:56,017
Speaker 2: And basically you're gonna have to tell me is it

132
00:06:56,017 --> 00:06:57,657
Speaker 2: time for going to move back? Have they cleaned it

133
00:06:57,697 --> 00:07:00,777
Speaker 2: all up yet? Shoe. We'll get into this in just

134
00:07:00,817 --> 00:07:03,177
Speaker 2: a second. The first stop, do you feel prepared with

135
00:07:03,257 --> 00:07:05,057
Speaker 2: everything going on in the country? Do you find yourself

136
00:07:05,057 --> 00:07:08,457
Speaker 2: thinking about self defense? Home protection? Financial protection? More than

137
00:07:08,457 --> 00:07:12,697
Speaker 2: ever one form of protect diversification. Gold has often been

138
00:07:12,777 --> 00:07:15,697
Speaker 2: used to protect assets against inflation. It's a global reserve

139
00:07:15,737 --> 00:07:18,537
Speaker 2: asset and countries are buying massive amounts of gold as

140
00:07:18,537 --> 00:07:22,217
Speaker 2: a hedge against inflation and financial collapse. It's time to

141
00:07:22,257 --> 00:07:25,257
Speaker 2: help protect yourself and invest in gold. My friends at

00:08:03,177 --> 00:08:04,657
Speaker 2: cleaning up the streets or what?

154
00:08:05,977 --> 00:08:07,817
Speaker 3: Well, we're making a few more arrests.

155
00:08:07,857 --> 00:08:11,057
Speaker 1: Look, Eric adams original in when it comes to the

156
00:08:11,057 --> 00:08:13,817
Speaker 1: people of New York City is the migrant crisis. I mean,

157
00:08:13,817 --> 00:08:16,337
Speaker 1: now he's trying to back himself out of it, But

158
00:08:16,537 --> 00:08:19,057
Speaker 1: just eighteen months ago he was more than happy to

159
00:08:19,137 --> 00:08:22,377
Speaker 1: stand at the Port Authority bus terminal and smile and

160
00:08:22,457 --> 00:08:26,257
Speaker 1: greet people and promise them the entire world. Now, obviously

161
00:08:26,297 --> 00:08:28,537
Speaker 1: he's trying to to sort of reverse that trend and

162
00:08:28,537 --> 00:08:30,897
Speaker 1: get things under control, and a lot of people will

163
00:08:30,897 --> 00:08:34,217
Speaker 1: never ever ever forgive him for that on crime though

164
00:08:34,417 --> 00:08:35,937
Speaker 1: he really is not that bad.

165
00:08:36,257 --> 00:08:38,697
Speaker 3: We were just at a gallo the other night for.

166
00:08:38,737 --> 00:08:41,057
Speaker 1: Some of the big real estate moguls of New York City,

167
00:08:41,257 --> 00:08:44,537
Speaker 1: a room full of billionaires and millionaires, and he leveled

168
00:08:44,537 --> 00:08:46,817
Speaker 1: into these people and he actually gave a really good

169
00:08:46,817 --> 00:08:49,377
Speaker 1: speech just talking about how nobody wants to come to

170
00:08:49,417 --> 00:08:52,457
Speaker 1: New York City when the first question everybody asks is

171
00:08:52,657 --> 00:08:54,857
Speaker 1: are the communities safe and the schools are good? And

172
00:08:54,857 --> 00:08:56,817
Speaker 1: he gave this whole thematic speech on how we have

173
00:08:56,857 --> 00:08:59,337
Speaker 1: to cut you know, obviously, you know, stop crime, and

174
00:08:59,377 --> 00:09:02,577
Speaker 1: the crime numbers in fairness are down since he took off,

175
00:09:02,737 --> 00:09:03,657
Speaker 1: so that is a good thing.

176
00:09:03,697 --> 00:09:04,737
Speaker 3: He's right to tout that.

177
00:09:05,657 --> 00:09:08,737
Speaker 1: However, you have a city council that's passing this bill

178
00:09:08,777 --> 00:09:11,817
Speaker 1: that we're talking about him tooth and nail. They also

179
00:09:11,937 --> 00:09:15,457
Speaker 1: passed the same day a ban on punitive segregation in

180
00:09:15,537 --> 00:09:19,177
Speaker 1: Rikers Island jail. So now someone who stabs someone on

181
00:09:19,337 --> 00:09:22,897
Speaker 1: video will essentially be put in a thirty minute timeout

182
00:09:23,257 --> 00:09:26,337
Speaker 1: rather than be put in a solitary cell where they

183
00:09:26,337 --> 00:09:29,617
Speaker 1: can't do themselves someone else or a correction officer armed.

184
00:09:29,737 --> 00:09:32,417
Speaker 1: They're actually going to give them the same punishment that

185
00:09:32,497 --> 00:09:34,377
Speaker 1: I give my eight year old when he says a

186
00:09:34,417 --> 00:09:35,177
Speaker 1: four little word.

187
00:09:35,417 --> 00:09:37,897
Speaker 3: I mean, this is the city that, unfortunately he has

188
00:09:37,937 --> 00:09:38,617
Speaker 3: to navigate.

189
00:09:39,057 --> 00:09:43,137
Speaker 1: And I give him credit for finally, after eight years

190
00:09:43,137 --> 00:09:46,337
Speaker 1: of build a Blasio, finally saying the right things and

191
00:09:46,737 --> 00:09:50,057
Speaker 1: focusing on public safety as an issue. I just wish

192
00:09:50,257 --> 00:09:54,257
Speaker 1: we had a better system that he can allow the

193
00:09:54,377 --> 00:09:57,937
Speaker 1: NYPD to do their jobs. We're actually stuck right now

194
00:09:57,937 --> 00:10:00,497
Speaker 1: with state law where we have these you know, pro

195
00:10:00,617 --> 00:10:05,617
Speaker 1: hamas protesters shutting down airports and shutting down bridges, and

196
00:10:05,817 --> 00:10:07,857
Speaker 1: the NYPD is so restrained.

197
00:10:07,857 --> 00:10:09,577
Speaker 3: We met with their legal bureau the other day and

198
00:10:09,617 --> 00:10:10,497
Speaker 3: some of their chiefs.

199
00:10:10,697 --> 00:10:13,377
Speaker 1: They are so restrained as to what they can do

200
00:10:13,617 --> 00:10:16,337
Speaker 1: that even when you have someone that says, hey, let

201
00:10:16,457 --> 00:10:19,097
Speaker 1: let's push the envelope a little bit, let's be more aggressive,

202
00:10:19,417 --> 00:10:22,417
Speaker 1: the law is actually the limiting factor and not the

203
00:10:23,657 --> 00:10:24,497
Speaker 1: able factor.

204
00:10:25,377 --> 00:10:28,337
Speaker 2: What happens to people who block let's say, you know,

205
00:10:29,097 --> 00:10:32,257
Speaker 2: the George Washington Bridge or something. I mean, what actually

206
00:10:32,817 --> 00:10:35,377
Speaker 2: do they face as a as a punitive sanction in

207
00:10:35,417 --> 00:10:35,857
Speaker 2: New York?

208
00:10:37,337 --> 00:10:37,657
Speaker 3: Nothing?

209
00:10:37,777 --> 00:10:40,297
Speaker 1: At the very best, if they push a cop back

210
00:10:40,337 --> 00:10:43,537
Speaker 1: as they're being arrested, they get charged with an e felony,

211
00:10:43,537 --> 00:10:47,817
Speaker 1: which is a bail ineligible crime. Eventually, the prosecutors can't

212
00:10:47,897 --> 00:10:50,457
Speaker 1: keep up with discovery, so it'll be dismissed to a

213
00:10:50,497 --> 00:10:53,817
Speaker 1: disorderly conduct ticket and nothing will happen to them. And

214
00:10:53,977 --> 00:10:57,577
Speaker 1: you know, they have people We have heard these calls

215
00:10:57,577 --> 00:11:00,897
Speaker 1: with these liberal groups, you know, prepping the the advocates

216
00:11:00,937 --> 00:11:03,537
Speaker 1: quote unquote who are going to protest, and they are

217
00:11:03,897 --> 00:11:07,417
Speaker 1: squared away with attorneys. They're ready to face any type

218
00:11:07,457 --> 00:11:09,857
Speaker 1: of prosecutor. They're ready to back you up in court,

219
00:11:10,097 --> 00:11:11,737
Speaker 1: ready to pay your fines. I mean, this is sort

220
00:11:11,737 --> 00:11:16,417
Speaker 1: of when we talk about the Soros funding of liberal violence.

221
00:11:16,857 --> 00:11:20,657
Speaker 1: The material result is that these people have lawyers, they

222
00:11:20,697 --> 00:11:23,577
Speaker 1: have access to money, the fines get paid, et cetera.

223
00:11:23,817 --> 00:11:27,457
Speaker 1: Nothing happens. I give credit to a prosecutor in Queen's

224
00:11:27,537 --> 00:11:31,257
Speaker 1: Melenda Cats. She's a progressive district attorney by every other

225
00:11:31,937 --> 00:11:35,457
Speaker 1: stretch of the imagination, but she pushed for federal charges

226
00:11:35,937 --> 00:11:40,337
Speaker 1: when people drudge block the JFK entrance ramps. And I

227
00:11:40,377 --> 00:11:42,657
Speaker 1: give her credit for that, for basically tying in a

228
00:11:42,697 --> 00:11:46,417
Speaker 1: federal crime of obstructing an airport or something of that nature.

229
00:11:46,937 --> 00:11:49,137
Speaker 1: So we do have some people pushing back, but we're

230
00:11:49,177 --> 00:11:51,657
Speaker 1: so limited. We don't move back.

231
00:11:52,737 --> 00:11:54,497
Speaker 2: Don't move back yet, All right, don't move back yet.

232
00:11:54,537 --> 00:11:54,857
Speaker 3: That's good.

233
00:11:55,977 --> 00:11:59,737
Speaker 2: What is this about a forty percent reduction in street

234
00:12:00,137 --> 00:12:03,017
Speaker 2: trash can pickups? I saw this in the post and

235
00:12:03,057 --> 00:12:05,377
Speaker 2: I thought, God's going to get very smelly and very

236
00:12:05,377 --> 00:12:06,337
Speaker 2: messy very quickly.

237
00:12:06,417 --> 00:12:06,657
Speaker 3: Joe.

238
00:12:07,817 --> 00:12:10,657
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was one of the cuts that Adams had

239
00:12:10,697 --> 00:12:13,977
Speaker 1: proposed to make with respect to the amount of money

240
00:12:13,977 --> 00:12:17,777
Speaker 1: we spend on migrants. So two things happened since that announcement.

241
00:12:18,057 --> 00:12:21,257
Speaker 1: Number one, I think the governor got the message and

242
00:12:21,297 --> 00:12:24,857
Speaker 1: decided to give almost another billion dollars of state funding

243
00:12:25,177 --> 00:12:29,377
Speaker 1: to the city for the purpose of, you know, meeting

244
00:12:29,417 --> 00:12:32,257
Speaker 1: the need of needs the migrants. The other thing is

245
00:12:32,297 --> 00:12:35,577
Speaker 1: that the economy has recovered a little bit better, and

246
00:12:35,657 --> 00:12:38,937
Speaker 1: now we're predicting, like most economists around the country, more

247
00:12:38,937 --> 00:12:41,937
Speaker 1: of a soft landing as opposed to a recession. So

248
00:12:42,257 --> 00:12:45,097
Speaker 1: some of our projections, and rightfully so, we're based on

249
00:12:45,137 --> 00:12:48,657
Speaker 1: a worst case scenario that really hasn't materialized. So now

250
00:12:48,657 --> 00:12:50,457
Speaker 1: we can be a little bit more liberal with the money.

251
00:12:50,457 --> 00:12:52,737
Speaker 1: So we're starting to restore some of these cuts. But

252
00:12:52,897 --> 00:12:56,817
Speaker 1: going to like, you know, shorter basket pickup service would

253
00:12:56,817 --> 00:12:57,977
Speaker 1: have been horrible.

254
00:12:57,577 --> 00:12:59,257
Speaker 3: For most of New York City.

255
00:12:59,377 --> 00:13:02,217
Speaker 1: It would have meant obviously more trash on the streets

256
00:13:02,337 --> 00:13:06,017
Speaker 1: for longer, although that adds up to rats and roaches.

257
00:13:05,657 --> 00:13:06,937
Speaker 3: And all sorts of things like that.

258
00:13:07,017 --> 00:13:09,657
Speaker 1: So I'm glad the mayor made this cut as the

259
00:13:09,737 --> 00:13:11,297
Speaker 1: rest of ration of the problem.

260
00:13:11,417 --> 00:13:12,617
Speaker 3: But there's still a long way to go.

261
00:13:12,777 --> 00:13:15,697
Speaker 1: We're still facing budgetary headwinds just not as much as

262
00:13:15,737 --> 00:13:17,537
Speaker 1: we were about three months ago.

263
00:13:17,817 --> 00:13:20,977
Speaker 2: Let's have you explain the migrant crisis as it affects

264
00:13:21,057 --> 00:13:22,577
Speaker 2: New York and the budget and everything else here in

265
00:13:22,617 --> 00:13:25,177
Speaker 2: just a second. But first up, speaking of budgets, a

266
00:13:25,217 --> 00:13:27,337
Speaker 2: lot of us are struggling to keep up with everyday bills.

267
00:13:27,457 --> 00:13:30,337
Speaker 2: It's very expensive these days inflation. You see the cost

268
00:13:30,337 --> 00:13:32,897
Speaker 2: of goods, the things you need every day. But if

269
00:13:32,897 --> 00:13:35,297
Speaker 2: you own a home, there's something you can do. Call

270
00:13:35,337 --> 00:13:38,617
Speaker 2: my friends at American Financing. Interest rates have dropped into

271
00:13:38,617 --> 00:13:40,577
Speaker 2: the fives, the lowest they've been in a long time,

272
00:13:41,297 --> 00:13:43,897
Speaker 2: and they're saving customers an average of eight hundred and

273
00:13:43,937 --> 00:13:46,417
Speaker 2: fifty four dollars a month by tapping into their homes

274
00:13:46,417 --> 00:13:48,617
Speaker 2: equity and wiping out high interest credit card debt. Eight

275
00:13:48,737 --> 00:13:50,617
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty four dollars a month is like a

276
00:13:50,737 --> 00:13:54,537
Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars raise. Credit card interest rates are insane,

277
00:13:54,537 --> 00:13:56,097
Speaker 2: and most of us are still carrying a balance from

278
00:13:56,137 --> 00:13:58,777
Speaker 2: the holidays. You can wipe that out now. Call American

279

00:14:31,057 --> 00:14:31,377
Speaker 2: it going?

290
00:14:31,497 --> 00:14:31,897
Speaker 3: Joe?

291
00:14:33,577 --> 00:14:37,577
Speaker 1: Well, it's still an unsustainable situation. You know, even with

292
00:14:37,697 --> 00:14:41,137
Speaker 1: some of the cuts that were now restored by Mayor

293
00:14:41,177 --> 00:14:44,457
Speaker 1: Adams and his administration, we're still spending more per day

294
00:14:44,577 --> 00:14:47,137
Speaker 1: on migrants than we do on the Department of Sanitation

295
00:14:47,537 --> 00:14:50,577
Speaker 1: and the Parks Department to two pretty critical uh uh

296
00:14:51,017 --> 00:14:54,177
Speaker 1: city agencies, not just for our city but for any municipality.

297
00:14:54,617 --> 00:14:57,577
Speaker 3: Uh. Again, this is not something that can keep going

298
00:14:57,617 --> 00:14:58,417
Speaker 3: in the long term.

299
00:14:58,497 --> 00:15:00,417
Speaker 2: I mean so Mayor Adams has said it might it's

300
00:15:00,457 --> 00:15:01,937
Speaker 2: destroying the city. Is that fair?

301
00:15:03,217 --> 00:15:04,337
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think it is fair.

302
00:15:04,497 --> 00:15:06,697
Speaker 1: I think we got lucky with the recession not panning

303
00:15:06,777 --> 00:15:09,697
Speaker 1: out and the governor giving more money, but it doesn't

304
00:15:09,737 --> 00:15:12,217
Speaker 1: stop the problem. The problem is the spending and the

305
00:15:12,337 --> 00:15:16,497
Speaker 1: unrestricted spending that seems to be happening. You know they're

306
00:15:16,537 --> 00:15:20,137
Speaker 1: doing a decent job finally of giving sixty day eviction

307
00:15:20,297 --> 00:15:22,937
Speaker 1: notices to some of these people. I know it's working

308
00:15:23,017 --> 00:15:25,817
Speaker 1: because today, as we speak, some of my more liberal

309
00:15:25,857 --> 00:15:29,257
Speaker 1: colleagues are outstanding in front of some homeless shelter protesting

310
00:15:29,297 --> 00:15:31,017
Speaker 1: the mayor's sixty day eviction policy.

311
00:15:31,177 --> 00:15:32,057
Speaker 3: So that's a good sign.

312
00:15:32,617 --> 00:15:36,377
Speaker 1: Even though we've received more than one hundred and sixty

313
00:15:36,457 --> 00:15:40,137
Speaker 1: thousand migrants at this point, right now, the population of

314
00:15:40,177 --> 00:15:43,777
Speaker 1: people under our care is down to about sixty eight thousand,

315
00:15:43,857 --> 00:15:45,697
Speaker 1: which means that a lot of people are getting out

316
00:15:45,697 --> 00:15:46,257
Speaker 1: of the system.

317
00:15:46,577 --> 00:15:47,977
Speaker 3: That's really what we need to happen.

318
00:15:48,217 --> 00:15:50,777
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, the mayor knows this and he won't say it,

319
00:15:51,297 --> 00:15:54,097
Speaker 1: but nothing's going to stop this until President Trump gets

320
00:15:54,137 --> 00:15:56,697
Speaker 1: re elected. President Trump committed last night that he'll steal

321
00:15:56,777 --> 00:15:59,337
Speaker 1: the border on day one. Nobody doubts that he will.

322
00:15:59,417 --> 00:16:02,577
Speaker 1: Nobody doubts that the policies will change. I think a

323
00:16:02,577 --> 00:16:05,457
Speaker 1: little part of Eric Adams is probably hoping that either

324
00:16:05,537 --> 00:16:08,697
Speaker 1: Trump wins the election or that Biden, you know, finally

325
00:16:08,777 --> 00:16:11,897
Speaker 1: wakes up and sees the reaction that most of America's

326
00:16:11,977 --> 00:16:16,217
Speaker 1: large cities are facing problems larger than they've ever had.

327
00:16:16,337 --> 00:16:19,257
Speaker 3: Happened before as a direct result of a federal failure.

328
00:16:20,097 --> 00:16:24,417
Speaker 2: Joe Burrell, everybody, New York City Council, the most famous

329
00:16:24,417 --> 00:16:26,257
Speaker 2: Staten Islander as far as I'm concerned. I don't know

330
00:16:26,297 --> 00:16:28,417
Speaker 2: who else lives in Staten Island, but Joe BURRELLI is

331
00:16:28,497 --> 00:16:32,457
Speaker 2: mister Staten Island. And come, here's us down here in Miami.

332
00:16:32,497 --> 00:16:33,617
Speaker 2: All right, you gotta come hang out.

333
00:16:34,817 --> 00:16:35,617
Speaker 3: We certainly will.

334
00:16:36,017 --> 00:16:37,617
Speaker 2: Joe Brell, everybody. Good to see you, my friend.

335
00:16:38,617 --> 00:16:39,257
Speaker 3: Thank you,
