1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Wake that ass up in the morning Club.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 2: Yep.

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 3: And we got a special guest in the building today,

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, the mayor Eric Adams.

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 4: And we also have lawyer and political commentator Ola Yamyl

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 4: right here.

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, man, good good good. You know,

8
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: you know, even before we get into the conversation, I

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: was with Jordan the other day, my son, and uh,

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 2: somehow your name came up and there was a group

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: of young people in the room talking about politics. It's

12
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: amazing how so many people are into politics now. And

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: they came up with saying something about there were people

14
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 2: saying that how you were trying to push Trump, push Trump,

15
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: push Trump. So Jordan pulled up this video one of

16
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: your shows or you broke down each time you were

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: talking about what was wrong about his race, and just

18
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: broke it down piece by piece, and Jordan said that,

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: you know what, truth doesn't matter anymore, No, folks, people

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: don't care about truth about fact. Facts no longer exists.

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: I've never putrump actually do the opposite exactly. Yeah. Yeah,

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: but we are in a generation where everyone gets up

23
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: in the morning, look on social media and whatever's on

24
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: there they identified as the facts the headlines exactly.

25
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: No one goes into the body of the story.

26
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: Everybody's just well, you know what, this is what the

27
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: headline said, and that's the reality of it. And so

28
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: it was like an eye opener for him of how

29
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: I said Jordan over and over again, that one moment

30
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: took away all those years of me saying, have your

31
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: own facts. Don't let anybody define for you. You define

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: for yourself. That's you know, that's the power of this microphone,

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: that's the power of media putting those facts out. If

34
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: we don't control the message, the message will control us.

35
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 5: We got a lot to talk about today. Lit your city.

36
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: So today we reported earlier about congestion, pricing, right, what's

37
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 3: your what's your thoughts on that.

38
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna it's gonna cripple New York City.

39
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: You've got a lot of people.

40
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 5: The bridges already, the tolls already high.

41
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: It's seventeen dollars I think for George Washington eleven dollars

42
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: for the Midtown tunnels.

43
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 5: Parking is extremely high.

44
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 3: Uh, And now getting into the city, it's gonna be

45
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: even it's gonna hurt a lot of people even drive

46
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 3: in the city, and people are scared of the subways.

47
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: You know what everything's been going on, People getting you know,

48
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,839
Speaker 3: pushed into the train station's crime, and people are scared

49
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: of New York City.

50
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:25,119
Speaker 4: That's a lot, a lot, hold On said, but let's

51
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 4: let's break it down for a moment.

52
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: Let's break it down in pieces so we can really

53
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: understand it. First, Let's deal with the stuff about people

54
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 2: are scared of the subways. When I became mayor, no

55
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: one wanted to be on the subway. We got over

56
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 2: four million daily riders. I talked to one of my guys,

57
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: I was talking to your sister the other day, and

58
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 2: she said, you know, you have about two three hundred

59
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: crimes happening on the subway system. We have six felonies

60
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 2: a day on our subway system out of four million riders.

61
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: Look at those numbers. Our subway system is a safe system.

62
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: And we put it in a different additional thousand offices

63
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: to do the high visibility, to deal with the reality

64
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: because it is not only felt is perceived.

65
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: Those six felonies we got to get rid of.

66
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: We're clear on that, but people are back on our

67
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: subway system. But when you deal with specifically congesting prices,

68
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't realize these are the city streets.

69
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: But we had no authority on it. Aubany passed the

70
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: law and turn it over to the MTA. This is

71
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: the MTA's baby. They should have allowed the city to

72
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: be able to control how congestion pricing was done. So

73
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: that fifteen dollars. We were able to fight to get

74
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars to deal with the environmental impact

75
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: in the Bronx. We were able to fight to get

76
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: those who are shift brocused get a discount, those who

77
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: make less than fifty thousand dollars to get a discount.

78
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: But this was a bill that came out of Aubany.

79
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 5: So you don't agree with it, or do you agree

80
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 5: with it?

81
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: No, I agree we got to deal with something with

82
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: the congestion in our city, but you don't pass on

83
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: the course of that on low income New Yorkers or

84
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: those who have to come to Manhattan. You may have

85
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: to have going to your chemo thing therapy, and this

86
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: is the doctor you have to go to.

87
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: You should not be hit over there because people that

88
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: live in the area.

89
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: They're saying that that people that actually live in the

90
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: area when they drive if they got to drive uptown

91
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: to the doctor.

92
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: They got to drive.

93
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 5: They get charged too.

94
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm not feeling people that live in the

95
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 2: area Central Manhattan east up south of sixtieth Street has

96
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: the best transportation system on the globe. You got Crosstown trains,

97
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: you have South and North trains, you have buses that

98
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 2: go across town. There's no place else on the globe

99
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: that you have the greatest access to public transportation than

100
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 2: people south of sixtieth Street. So I'm not feeling them

101
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: if they're saying that, you know, we don't have to

102
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: we don't want to pay you know what, you need

103
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: to get on the train.

104
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: I take the train, you know, so you can get

105
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: on the train.

106
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 2: I'm talking about low income New Yorkers should not have

107
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: to carry the burden of that, and we ask to

108
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: have more and a greater input and the shaping of that,

109
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 2: but we don't. People don't often realize we're creatures of Albany.

110
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: Albany passed the laws. We have to implement the laws

111
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: that are down here.

112
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you're right that there is a difference

113
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 6: between perception and fact and how people feel about safety

114
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 6: and the way people feel about the subways, And I

115
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 6: think it's your own rhetoric about the subways that has

116
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 6: a lot to do with why people feel scared, despite

117
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 6: the fact that millions of people ride the subway every

118
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 6: day without incident. But you've continued to fare monger about

119
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 6: crime in the subways. You've added two thousand police officers,

120
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 6: despite the fact that you've acknowledged that the subways are

121
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 6: not that dangerous, and I think there is. You're right,

122
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 6: poor New Yorker should not be the ones who bear

123
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 6: the brunt of this, but they will if they already

124
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 6: have the subway being turned into a place that they

125
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 6: have to fare, that there's a National Guard, that there's

126
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 6: a hyper visibility of police, that they're trying to stop

127
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 6: people with certain records from even using them, and now

128
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 6: you have this congestion price. So how do you reconcile that?

129
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: Well, let's go before. First of all, I would love

130
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: give me just give me the quotes on my rhetoric,

131
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: because I'm lost in that.

132
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 7: Can you give me the quote that you fair monger

133
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 7: about the subways.

134
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 6: Oh, you've consistently done that since the day one of

135
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 6: your administration. One of the first things you did was

136
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 6: add a thousand officers to the subway because you coined

137
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 6: that the subways are unrideable. You and Hoko did this

138
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 6: and said how dangerous it is, and you recently did

139
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 6: that when you deployed the National Guard.

140
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 2: But that wasn't my question. My question was what was

141
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: my fearmongerment?

142
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: What did I say.

143
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 7: You continuously say.

144
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 6: I could point to a number of videos and quotes

145
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 6: and everything from you, but you've said repeatedly that the

146
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 6: subways are dangerous, that New York is dangerous.

147
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 7: You complain about crime relentlessly.

148
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 6: So what I'm saying to you is, if you are

149
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 6: saying that New York is the safest city, it's one

150
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 6: of the safest big cities in this country, which is true,

151
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 6: and you're recognizing that the subway stations are in fact

152
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 6: not half as dangerous as they're presented to be, I'm saying,

153
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 6: how do you reconcile how your rhetoric has played into

154
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 6: people's fair and not.

155
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: Even just rhetoric.

156
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 4: I would say the actions, because she's right if you

157
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 4: tell us, which is definitely the station is different, but

158
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 4: it's the same thing. Though you put a thousand police

159
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 4: officers in the subway, two thousand police officer in the subway.

160
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: That don't make us feel saying we think something's wrong.

161
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: If you don't let me let me first, let me

162
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: feel back again, because you got always feel back this stuff,

163
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 2: you know, because of oftentimes how you're depict in the media.

164
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 2: That I don't control is how people interpret you. I

165
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: didn't put the National Guards in the subway. The governor did.

166
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 7: I know, but I know what you said.

167
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 6: But you said you you stood with Governor Cafe Hocho

168
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 6: and you co signed that decision.

169
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 7: You did.

170
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 6: And I'm not saying that as someone who's on social media.

171
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 6: I'm saying that as an attorney in the city and

172
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 6: an activist who follows everything that you do.

173
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: If you I'm glad you do, and then you realize

174
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 2: how I turned the city around. If you follow everything I.

175
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 6: Do, I would say no, but we could get to

176
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 6: that Maxime man, listen.

177
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: And I enjoy every moment. You know, but this is

178
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 2: what I do. You know when you when you come

179
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: with a serious history, if you follow everything you do,

180
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: I do. You know how long I've been doing this

181
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: and you know what my record is. So let's peel

182
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: back what you just stated. When fear is perceived and felt.

183
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: That's what fear is. So no matter as I shared

184
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: that we have six felony crimes a day with four

185
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: million rioters.

186
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: If people feel unsafe when we.

187
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: Get in the subway system, and I ride the subway

188
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: system and I talk to commuters and I say, what

189
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: are you feeling? And how do I help you with

190
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: that fear? They said, we see more visible uniform offices

191
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: in our subway system, We're going to feel safe. We

192
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: got it, we got it. Oh, let me.

193
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 7: You can, you can feel it back.

194
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: We we so we got it that the numbers are down,

195
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: we got it that we're back on the subway system

196
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: post COVID. But when we see this is what the

197
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: public is saying. When we see the visible presence of

198
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: a uniform officer, we feel safer. Now, you may say, Eric,

199
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to see a visible president of uniform officers,

200
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: and that's cool, but that's not what the overwhelming number

201
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: of New Yorkers are saying.

202
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 7: And I'm saying to you.

203
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 6: The New York City Comptroller Brad Lander recently put out

204
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 6: a report finding that fifty percent of the city is

205
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 6: disappointed and does not feel safe. Based on your rhetoric

206
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 6: about the subway is in your over police presence.

207
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: Okays, First of all, that's not what this says based

208
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: on Eric's rhetoric.

209
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 7: That's not you kids, No, no, no, no.

210
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,599
Speaker 6: Did they say based on Eric's red you want to

211
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 6: talk about based on your specific system.

212
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: Going back to what you said, because your attorney they say.

213
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 6: They have the city is there are They have multiple

214
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 6: reports in New York Times, the Gothamers, the city controller,

215
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 6: and the federal monitor.

216
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 7: Who reports, who reports, who's tasked.

217
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 6: With making sure the NYPD and wrikers are in compliance

218
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 6: with the law of both submitted reports saying that since

219
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 6: you been there's been a return of stopping for us,

220
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 6: that there've been over fifteen thousand stops, ninety seven percent

221
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 6: of whom have been on black and Hispanic people. A

222
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 6: fourth of those stops and searches have been unconstitutional and

223
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 6: they've yielded very few results.

224
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 2: Let's peel it back. Eric Adams, one hundred blacks and

225
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: law enforcement testified in federal court that the federal court

226
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: judge stated, based on Eric's testify testimony, we are going

227
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: to rule against the police department. We were dealing with

228
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: a million stops, a year when I was with one

229
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: hundred blacks and law or force fere My advocacy is

230
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 2: what turned it around from that million stops a year.

231
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: Look at the numbers right right now. My advocacy and

232
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 2: showing how to do policing correctly, because it's not that

233
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: you want to eradicate proper police practices. You must make

234
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: sure they do them right. And that is what I

235
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: have been able to accomplish in the city, taking over

236
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: thirteen thousand guns off the streets of the City of

237
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: New York who the victims of black and brown people.

238
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: When I go to community meetings and talk to communit

239
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 2: any residents, they don't tell me, Eric, we don't want

240
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 2: more police, they said, Eric, we want our police doing

241
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: their jobs correctly. And that is what I'm doing.

242
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,599
Speaker 6: The Federal Manitor, the Federal monitor who was tasked with

243
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 6: ensuring that NYPD is following the law, conducted conducted an analysis,

244
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 6: conducted an analysis that having eight years ago, but they're

245
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 6: still hair monitoring and what you're doing, and they said

246
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 6: that you have brought back stopping frist policies that are

247
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 6: worse than they saw even during the Bloomberg era. But

248
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 6: more importantly, they analyzed the neighborhood safe I could show

249
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 6: the report is available, and I know it's been available

250
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 6: to you because your spokesperson is commented on it. They

251
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 6: did an analysis of over ten percent ten different precincts.

252
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 6: There is factual there's a federal monitor reporting to judged.

253
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 6: He swain on it and present. They said that yes, listen,

254
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 6: let me finish so you can feel it back. They

255
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 6: conducted an analysis of ten different precincts and every of

256
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 6: the stops of ten different precincts, they found that ninety

257
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 6: seven percent of them, by the way of the neighborhood

258
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 6: safety teams that were disbanded in twenty twenty because of

259
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 6: their disproportionate abuse against black and Hispanic.

260
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 7: People that you revived.

261
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 6: They analyzed ten of those different neighborhood safety teams and

262
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 6: found that they're conductings ninety seven percent of their stops

263
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 6: on black and brown people, and a quarter of them

264
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 6: are unconstitutional.

265
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 7: That's what the federal monitor said, not me.

266
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 2: And at the same time, let's let's be clear on

267
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: this because what you're what you're given the perception of

268
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 2: this is a federal monitor that came in long before

269
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: I was mayor. Right, number two. I have been the

270
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: mayor for two years and three months. We've had a

271
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: tradition of over policing for generations, and that's that you're

272
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: here that I fought for. We had issues of over

273
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 2: policing for generations that I fought for. We acknowledge what

274
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: my history is in this place. So two years in

275
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: three months, we are turning around not only over policing,

276
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: but we're turning around the crime. Because when I came

277
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 2: to this city, we had a forty increase in crime,

278
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 2: and most of that crime black and brown communities.

279
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 6: Became mayor after are a global pandemic in which there

280
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 6: was record unemployment, business laws, homelessness, And you're not drawing

281
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 6: that connection. They're making no, no, But what I'm saying is

282
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 6: crime has a crime is connected to what is happening

283
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 6: in the city and the experiences of people. This is

284
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 6: the most expensive city in the world. We had a

285
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,599
Speaker 6: global pandemic where business.

286
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 7: Is closed of work, So if you saw it.

287
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: Was connected to that, but also jobs come on.

288
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 6: Also, you're saying that you've turned it around and yb

289
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 6: the's abuses, But just last year we paid out one

290
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 6: hundred and fifty million dollars in settling police conducts from

291
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 6: and I was double the number. That's double the number

292
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 6: and police misconduct since you became married.

293
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 2: I noticed something. I noticed how much passion and commitments

294
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 2: you have. It's one of your constituents, and I'm one

295
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: of my constituents. Students, you know what I'm saying. And

296
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: I grew up in the city. I love it. I noticed,

297
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: and this is what I hear often of those who

298
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: articulate when a person in the blue uniform commits an

299
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: inappropriate act, balance that with what we're doing to take

300
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 2: the violence out of our can unities. Because I know

301
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: what I hear when I go to these community meetings.

302
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: I know what I hear when I go speak to

303
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: these mothers who lost their children to violence. I know

304
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 2: what I hear. You're not even talking about that at all.

305
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 7: You know, I was a public defender.

306
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: But that's what you said. That's what you said.

307
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 7: And my original question was about how you relate to that.

308
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 4: You said that New Yorkers don't feel safe. So there

309
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 4: was a poe that came out with last week.

310
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, right right, And in that poll that came out

311
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 2: by the CBC, it stated that the priorities of Mayor

312
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: Adams is moving the city in the right direction. My priority. Now,

313
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: remember two years, three months, Brother, two years three months,

314
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: I inherited a pandemic. I inherited one hundred and eighty

315
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: thousand micros and asylum seekers that can't work. That we

316
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 2: have to house them every day.

317
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 4: You called for a lot of them too, though, no,

318
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 4: we didn't. Brother, it was a sanctuary city. Told okay,

319
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 4: let's let's see.

320
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: That's why I say, that's why it's important to have

321
00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: this conversation because sanctuary city and the micas the asylum seekers

322
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 2: are two different issues. San urry city, if you're undocumented,

323
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: we can't turn you over to ICE or authority. Micaels

324
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: and asylum seekers were parolled into here. They're here legally,

325
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: they were paroled into. But what the federal government did

326
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 2: and Governor Abbod did, they said, we're gonna send them

327
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: up to.

328
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: Chicago, New York, Boston. And the federal.

329
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: Government is saying, Eric, you can't allow them to work,

330
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 2: you gotta give them housing. You can't stop the buses

331
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 2: from coming in, you cannot turn them over to ICE.

332
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: All of that is illegal. If I do that, we

333
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 2: be breaking law. So when people look at the Migaans

334
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: that are here. We didn't call people to come here.

335
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 2: They were sent here by Governor Abbot. And the failure

336
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: to secure our borders is allowing us to continue. And

337
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: we're not getting any funny, any money from We got

338
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: about one hundred million dollars out of a four billion

339
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: dollar price tag. Look at Chicago right now. Look what's

340
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: happened in Chicago right now? My brother Mayor Johnson over there,

341
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 2: what's happening with him? Look has happened in Boston. Look

342
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: what's happening in Houston, Los Angeles? And then do a

343
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: comparative analysis of what's happening on our streets here. Wow,

344
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: we dealt with that crisis, turn around our economy, outpatent

345
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: the state and reading the math of our young people.

346
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: I've been on Reikis Island more than any mayor in

347
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: the history of the city, talking with inmates and correction

348
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 2: officers to turn around what's happening.

349
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 6: On twenty twenty two and there were three deaths back

350
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 6: to Bath because corrections officers left their posts and allowed

351
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 6: it to happen. You went to Rikers to express your

352
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 6: support for the corrections officer. To Rikers, what I do

353
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 6: want you to do.

354
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: But you keep you keep giving out misinformation. I was

355
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: on Rykers Island this week. This week with a group

356
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: of twelve young brothers who recommitted themselves to Christ. I

357
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: went to see them in the morning. We prayed together

358
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: because they said, this is not the first time you've

359
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: been here. You've been here over and over, visiting us,

360
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: talking to us, nurturing us. You know, because I know

361
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: what it's like to be locked up because I was

362
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: locked up as a child, So I know what it's

363
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: like to be treated unfairly because I'm dyslexic.

364
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: When you're doing.

365
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: Analysis of the number of young brothers and sisters who

366
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: are in rikers are in jail, they're dealing with learning

367
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 2: disabilities because it was never given it the support that they have.

368
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: That's why I have dyslexia screening, so we could catch

369
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 2: people who are thrown overboard before they get thrown overboard.

370
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 2: So adam philosophical. We have a philosophical disagreement.

371
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 7: No, I do, like I'm glad that feelings towards.

372
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: Your feelings towards police is different from this feelings.

373
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 6: This is about the actual statistics that I present from

374
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 6: the Federal monitor monitoring.

375
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: What you're saying about her statistics.

376
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 7: He's a federal monitor. Do you are you disputing with

377
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 7: the federal monitor and the actually and the.

378
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 2: Controller talking about this moment control of brad Lander. Okay, please,

379
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 2: but we're gonna throw people in names on who we

380
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: are are independent sources. He should not be one of them.

381
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: Think about this federal.

382
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 6: Monitor, the one that was independently elected by the people

383
00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 6: of New York.

384
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 2: But I was independent elected also.

385
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 7: And and I'm addressing you, so think.

386
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: About this for a moment. The federal monitor wants to

387
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: take over Rykers. Okay, Rykers has been dysfunctional for generations.

388
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 2: I came in decreased violence, putting real incentive programs for

389
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 2: young people there. But I didn't do it from a distance.

390
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: I went to Rikers and walked the halls and talk

391
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 2: with inmates. We're doing workshops and support groups with inmates

392
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 2: and find out what do you need to be here.

393
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 2: We instituted real turnaround programs there with the sisters that's

394
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 2: now in the correction officer. I mean, that's the Commission

395
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: of Corrections there. So I didn't do like other mayors.

396
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: I didn't sit back and say, let me just turn

397
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 2: my back on what's rikers. I said to those Rikers

398
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 2: inmates when I got elected, I'm coming here. I'm going

399
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,239
Speaker 2: to see what you're going through and want to make

400
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: sure you leave here better than how you got here

401
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 2: in the first place, and beside the instituting programs to

402
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: do so. So that same federal monitor go look at

403
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 2: the federal prisons. You that federal monitor wanted to take

404
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: over our prisons after I had it only two years

405
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 2: in three months. No, they wanted to take over my

406
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: first year. Although crime was going was going violence was

407
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: going down, and people say, well, ever, you know people

408
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: are people are dying on rykers.

409
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: Look at how they died.

410
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 2: People are coming into rykers and terrible medical.

411
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 7: Conditions and not getting their medical appointments.

412
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: It's not that they were dying because correcting officers were

413
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: killing them. People were coming in with heart.

414
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: Problems, but overdosing on drugs.

415
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 4: When people to feel that, because I know, I got

416
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 4: people that are in Rikers right now serving time and.

417
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: They hate it. They think it's discussing. Is they're trying

418
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: to brother who likes.

419
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 6: Respectfully, Mary Adams, Fundamentally, the things that you were saying

420
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 6: is untrue. You actually cut seventeen million dollars that were

421
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 6: used for classes for people at rkos Rykers to reanenter society.

422
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 7: Those were cut in the programs. Those were cut under

423
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 7: your Those were cut under your administration.

424
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 2: We were spending millions of dollars.

425
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 7: Thirty one people have died at Rikers since Eric Adams.

426
00:18:54,960 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 2: Millions of dollars for these professional folks to do these programs,

427
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 2: reinjury programs, millions of dollars, seven people sitting inside the class.

428
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: When I came into office, I said, why are we

429
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 2: spending so much money on programs but our people are

430
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 2: still in these bad conditions. People have propertized poverty, They

431
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: have that making so much money off of black and

432
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: brown people because it's a lucative business to come up

433
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: with all these different programs, all these different ways. And

434
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 2: then when you go to them and say, let me

435
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: say the results of the programs that we're paying you

436
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 2: millions of dollars for, and then you look and see

437
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: what who's in charge of these programs. They don't look

438
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: like us.

439
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 6: Moments ago you said you instituted programs. And when I

440
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 6: brought up the fact that you actually cut programs. Now

441
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 6: your anti program Okay, thirty one, at least at least

442
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 6: thirty one people have died at Rikers since you became mayor.

443
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 7: That's why I'm for no.

444
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 2: More program, Fatherless, No More. This was the this was

445
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 2: the brother the pastor. Fatherless No More is called the program,

446
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 2: and I would encourage you to come and check it out.

447
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 2: This brother here instead of saying, pay me millions of

448
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 2: dollars to do a program to turn around the lives

449
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 2: of our young brothers and rankings. He doesn't want money.

450
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: He's committed to the cause. But you have these professional

451
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 2: programs that were in place, and when I went to

452
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: them and say, show me the results of what you've

453
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 2: done in these programs. Show me what we produce for

454
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 2: our millions of dollars as in many of these programs

455
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: in the city that I'm saying, we're no longer paying

456
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 2: y'all to just play us year after year. So fatherleus

457
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 2: and no More is turning around the lives of people

458
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: not being paid millions of dollars for it. If we're

459
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: really true to what we said we want to do,

460
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: why do we have to pay your millions of dollars

461
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 2: to do it? You know, why don't you come on

462
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: rankers like I do and volunteer. Why don't you come

463
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: in and really be committed, because people are not committed

464
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 2: to us. Brother, they've been playing us. You know, this

465
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: is a street hustle that have been going on for years,

466
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: and people have eaten off of the dysfunctionality of watching

467
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 2: us stay in these permanent states of being a lot.

468
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: Of people are upset to it, and they feel like

469
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: the prison reform is bad for New York City. They're

470
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 3: saying people do crimes, they get out immediately, and then

471
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 3: they commit to crimes. We just see an officer that

472
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: passed away a couple of days ago, rest in peace

473
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 3: to him and always healing energy to his family. But

474
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 3: they say that individual was arrested for a gun and

475
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 3: has a record the size of we don't know what.

476
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: And they're saying that people are doing crimes and they're

477
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 3: getting back out. Officers don't want to arrest people. A

478
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: lot of officers don't even want to be officers anymore

479
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 3: because the people that they're arresting get out so fast.

480
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 5: So what do you say to that?

481
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 2: And let me tell you something. I say this term

482
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 2: all the time, idealism collides with realism. This far leftist

483
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 2: mindset that believes we should not have a criminal justice

484
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 2: system in place, We're gonna look like some of these

485
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 2: other cities that you're seeing. With a lack of a

486
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 2: criminal justice system in place. We're losing correction offices. We're

487
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 2: losing district attorneys, we're losing police officers, we're losing probation offices,

488
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 2: we're losing school safety agents. Every piece of our public

489
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: safety apparatus that the every day working class person wants,

490
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: we're seeing it all of a sudden erode, and we're

491
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: going to lose the foundation of our prosperity, and that's

492
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: public safety.

493
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: So when you look at these cases, we have three.

494
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 2: Problems in the city that if you dig into it,

495
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: you'll see how they continue to intersection between each other.

496
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 2: We have one, we have a RECIPI this this problem.

497
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 2: It's a revolving door. Thirty eight people that assault the

498
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: transit workers well were arrested eleven hundred times. Five hundred

499
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 2: and forty five people that were arrested for shoplifting were

500
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: arrested seventy five seven thousand, five hundred times. The person

501
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 2: who shot that police officer his driver was just arrested

502
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 2: for having a gun in April of last year. Now

503
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 2: he's back doing the same thing all over again. These

504
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: guys are arrested ten fifteen times. It's a small population

505
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: of people that are repeated offenders. The second problem that

506
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: we have in this in the city is a severe

507
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 2: mental health problem. I'm not talking about to somebody that's

508
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 2: the price someone that's going through a bad day. I'm

509
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 2: talking about a severe mental health problem. Go look at

510
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 2: these cases of assaulting passengers, pushing people on the subway track,

511
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: the cat that pushed the person on the subway tract

512
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 2: the other day, in and out of the system. And

513
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 2: so when I came into office, I said, we can't

514
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: keep just walking by these people that are dealing with

515
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 2: severe mental health issues. We need to give them wrapping

516
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 2: around services and care. The far left pushed against me.

517
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 2: You in humane, You just want to take people off

518
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 2: the streets. No, I said, no, in this city, people

519
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: are gonna People are not gonna live in encampments, They're

520
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 2: gonna live in tents. Go look at Los Angeles, go

521
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 2: look at Oregon, go look at all these other cities.

522
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 2: When you see tent city San Francisco, you see tent cities. People.

523
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: When I went out in January February. When I got

524
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: elected in twenty twenty two, I went out without my

525
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 2: security team and started visiting people in intents and encampments

526
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 2: and started talking to them bipolar, schizophrenic, human waste, drug power, fernalia,

527
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 2: stale food. They didn't even realize they were in that state.

528
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 2: One cat that was an ex police officer that I

529
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 2: spoke with didn't even realize started seeing and talking to himself.

530
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: I said, I'm not going to do this. My city

531
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 2: is not going to be like San Francisco. It's not

532
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 2: going to be like these other cities where you're watching

533
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: people living on streets in tens intents. You don't see

534
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 2: that in New York City. The third problem we have

535
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 2: is random, random acts of violence. Those random acts of

536
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 2: violence are being highlighted. You have if you have twenty

537
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 2: four hours in the day and something that happens to

538
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 2: you in an hour and the day, you selt to

539
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 2: define yourself as that entire day. Those random active violence

540
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 2: are plastered on social media. They're plastic, They're plastered on everything.

541
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 2: People begin to believe that, oh, I'm living in the

542
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 2: city that's out of control.

543
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 7: We are not.

544
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 2: She made a good people New York.

545
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 4: If NYPD is reposting that kind of stuff, what are

546
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 4: we supposed to think.

547
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: A phone brother?

548
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 6: No, No, this recently been there so much so that

549
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 6: they're arguing with journalists on there's YPD on their own

550
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 6: Twitter pages that are posting and sensationalizing crime. And I

551
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 6: said this at the beginning. You said that there's a

552
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 6: difference between perception and reality, how people feel afraid versus how.

553
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 7: Safe New York actually is.

554
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 6: And I agree with you, but I said that it's

555
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 6: your own rhetoric and NYPD's rhetoric that plays into that,

556
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 6: and you did it just now. Because the reality is

557
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 6: a condition of release for everybody for every crime, whether

558
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 6: it be non bail eligible or bail eligible, is that

559
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 6: if you commit a crime and you're rearrested, that you

560
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 6: that you bail can and will be set on you.

561
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 7: So that's the first thing.

562
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 6: Second of all, they have conducted multiple studies, but the

563
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 6: brendans that are literally just put out one less than

564
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 6: two percent of anybody in New York City that's released

565
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 6: on bail is re arrested for any violent crime. More importantly,

566
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 6: in the same in the same breath that we want

567
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 6: in the same breath that you want to sensationalize.

568
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 7: We want to highlight and point o oh.

569
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 6: An officer was killed the other day, which is a

570
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 6: rare occurrence across the United States, but let alone in

571
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 6: New York. New York police officers have killed at least

572
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 6: seven people this year, including a nineteen.

573
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 7: Year old officer.

574
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: I'm not going to dismiss the loss of a life

575
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 2: of an innocent person that weighs a uniform.

576
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 7: You do the people and the nineteen year old.

577
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 2: I feel like I don't want to take you out

578
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 2: of contents, and I want people to all of a

579
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 2: sudden criticize that you're being dismissive of a.

580
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 7: It's not going to work on me.

581
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to brook anything on you. I lost

582
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 2: a member of the police department. The same way I

583
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: go to see the mother of eleven year old baby

584
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: that was eleven month old baby that was shot in

585
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 2: the head. When I first became in I sat in

586
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: the hospital with her. The same way I go visit

587
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 2: these mothers who lose their children to gun violence. I

588
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: go see them some other Jesus just as I go,

589
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 2: Just as I go to see the family member of

590
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 2: a slain police officer. I go visit those parents that

591
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 2: lose their love, the family that.

592
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 7: First of all, yesterday I held a writer, I represented.

593
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: You went to visit you were to visit up the

594
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 2: family members of a slain office officer.

595
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 6: Course, no, but what about the nineteen year old that

596
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 6: was killed yesterday by NYPD and Queen's when he called

597
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 6: for help?

598
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 7: Have you said anything about that? Are you visiting them?

599
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 2: The first of all, that's New York safer or not?

600
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 2: I'm sorry it is New York safer or not. Okay,

601
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: we just showed the graph that we that we put

602
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: up right, there's there's a graph that shows how many

603
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: people murders based on one hundred thousand people. They shows

604
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: a graph each city the large city is in America.

605
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 2: New York is the least. New York is the safest

606
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 2: big city in America.

607
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 4: Should we say crime is down or should we say

608
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 4: it's safe? Because I think it's crime is saying something

609
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 4: is safe. Well, random thirty pounds and I lose thirty

610
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 4: I'm still fat.

611
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 2: Right right, you know? But random? Actually, And that's why

612
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,160
Speaker 2: that's why what what I must do with New York

613
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: is is give them the facts, not give them what

614
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 2: people are spewing out there. The facts, facts are clear.

615
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: As I've always stated, we are the safest big city

616
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 2: in America. And as people talk about reporting these the

617
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 2: reports that come out and reporting how things are done,

618
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 2: no one wants to report the fact that everyone is

619
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 2: saying across the globe New York is the safest big

620
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 2: city in America?

621
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 6: Arend the right way they think the New York I

622
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 6: don't dispute the New York is safe. What I dispute

623
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 6: is how Mayor Adams on rhetoric is the reason why

624
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 6: people don't feel safe. I would reread that New York

625
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 6: is don't feel safe because of the way the NYPD,

626
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 6: the Post and Mayor Adams go about sensationalizing prime.

627
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 7: And I'm acting you to talk about it differently and listen.

628
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 2: And you have a right to your opinion and your belief.

629
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 2: We you and not have a philosophical disagreement you.

630
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 7: That's many It's not about the people freement.

631
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: Many people on the fall left disagree with me. You know,

632
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 2: many people on the far left, they said, Eric, people

633
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 2: should be allowed to sleep on the streets no matter what,

634
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: they should be allowed to sit on your stoop and

635
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: inject themselves with drugs. They should be allowed to go

636
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: in stores and still whatever they want. They shouldn't have

637
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: to pay on the subway system. They should be allowed

638
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: to carry a gun and be able to come out

639
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 2: the next day.

640
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 6: Like people disagree with earlier a rhetoric, But earlier you

641
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 6: asked me to point out specifically what you says the

642
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 6: fair moong girl about. So I just would like to

643
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 6: say exhibit a like what you literally just did. You

644
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 6: continue to say in this that New York is the

645
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 6: safest big city, while simultaneously you are the one sensationalizing right,

646
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 6: which is a mass it.

647
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 2: All I know is when I came in office and

648
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 2: I stated that I wanted to take I'm not allowing

649
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 2: people to sleep in tents on our streets. They're gonna

650
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 2: get the care that they deserve.

651
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 6: The far left attack, No, you made it so that

652
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 6: people can be involuntarily committed people.

653
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: Yes, and listen. If I'm sitting down with you, brother,

654
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: and I'm in a tent with you on encampment, and

655
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: I'm seeing human waste in the corner, I'm seeing stale food,

656
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: I'm seeing drug powder, fronail, and I'm hearing you talking

657
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: about you only hear until the spaceship comes to take

658
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 2: you to your next planet. You need to be involuntary committed.

659
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 7: Didn't I just say about sensation?

660
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: This is what I saw. This is what I saw because.

661
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 6: The activists that were actually there at the encampments you

662
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 6: were torn down.

663
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 7: You weren't there, but they were there when they were

664
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 7: being arrested.

665
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 3: People are also upset that they feel like too much

666
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 3: money is going to Mi grints and you're cutting too

667
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 3: money programs right. They're saying you're cutting the pre care,

668
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 3: saying that you're cutting so many different funding from that.

669
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: People have this question, brothers.

670
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 3: People, people are saying people are feeling like, you know,

671
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 3: they never have money for us, but when as soon

672
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 3: as migrants come in the country, they find money.

673
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 2: And listen, people have a right to be angry. You

674
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 2: know who's even more angry than they are. I am.

675
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 2: I've been to Washington ten times, ten times to talk

676
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: about this subject. So people got a right to be

677
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: pissed off of what they're doing to New York.

678
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 3: Can we fixed that where these like I mean, we

679
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 3: cut a lot of products.

680
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 5: Day, kids couldn't go to school because migrants to go

681
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 5: over to school.

682
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: Now, that's not that wasn't that wasn't accurate. Let's let's

683
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 2: let's let's let's first, let's deal with that we always

684
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: utilize our school buildings during the time of crisis. And

685
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 2: if we're saying to ourselves, if there's some when we

686
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: had to major fire when I first became mayor we

687
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 2: saw that fire in the Bronx, you know, we had

688
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: to take a school to take care of those people

689
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 2: who lived in the building. Temporarily, when we have major storms,

690
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: we take us school to use. The temporary schools is

691
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 2: part of the resources of the city. And thank god

692
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 2: we had something called remote learning where people still let

693
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: young people are still able to go on to learn.

694
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: But we can't say we can't say we can't say

695
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: that we will use a school building during an emergency,

696
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: but we're not going to do it for children that

697
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: are migrants. And assimum secrets learning and remote worth, here's

698
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: the Here are the things that are crucial about the

699
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: migrantssimum secrets that we need to We need to put

700
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: the rest that people don't realize. Number One, I don't

701
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,239
Speaker 2: have the legal authority to stop the buses from coming in.

702
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 2: That's against law. I don't have the authority to allow

703
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 2: them to work, which they want to do. That's against

704
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 2: the law. I don't have the authority to say I'm

705
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 2: not going to house you and give you three meals

706
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 2: a day. It's against the law for me do it.

707
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 2: I don't have the authority to deport someone that commits

708
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: a crime here in this city and turn them over

709
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: the ice. That's against the law. So what we have

710
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 2: to do was figure out how do we house people.

711
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 2: So some people said, whatever you're giving them morning, what

712
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: you've given us, Go to the Hirk centers where they

713
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: are the shelters, the restrooms are outside, the showers are outside,

714
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 2: they're sleeping on cots. They get three basic meals a day.

715
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: And when I go visit them, they said, we don't

716
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 2: want any of this from you. All we want to

717
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 2: do is have the right to wrote so we can

718
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: provide for ourselves.

719
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 4: And less than thirty days, migrants won't be allowed to

720
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 4: work for federal guidelines, and they won't be allowed to

721
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 4: be housed in NYC anymore, ny anymos where woeld they go?

722
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 2: After that? They're finding a way out of the one

723
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty four thousand sixty percent of them found

724
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: their way like many of us have done.

725
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: You notice you don't hear about them the.

726
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: Way they're gonna get housing in thirty days.

727
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: Though many of them, we're giving them intense care.

728
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: We're not just telling you come here, hang out for

729
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: thirty days and we're not gonna help you know, in

730
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 2: those thirty days, and if you're a young person, you

731
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: get sixty days. But in those thirty days or sixty days,

732
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 2: we're giving you intense care. We're showing you how to

733
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 2: find your way in our city. We're showing you how

734
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 2: to go about applying for housing, to go about applying.

735
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: For the services that you need.

736
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: And some people are saying, we never wanted to come

737
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 2: to New York at all. We wanted to come to

738
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 2: another city, but the governor I said, no, We're sending

739
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 2: you to New York. Think about this for a moment.

740
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 2: We got thousands of Ukrainian migrants, thousands. Do you hear

741
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 2: about them? No work?

742
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 5: Just Mexican and Africans.

743
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 2: Can you take a work? They have the right to work,

744
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 2: so so we wouldn't even be having this conversation if

745
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 2: we gave them the authority to work. Ain't know the

746
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: real irony of this. We need workers.

747
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: I need lifeguards, I need food service workers.

748
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 2: Many of these micros from violence Venezuela are nurses and

749
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: other professionals.

750
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: I need people to backstretch workers.

751
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 2: Other states are telling me Eric, we will take the

752
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 2: migrants and asylum seekers if they just allow them to work.

753
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 2: We're not gonna take them and just have them sit

754
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 2: around every day. If they're allowed to work, we would

755
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:57,239
Speaker 2: take them. Agree national government. She agree with a lot

756
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: of stuff.

757
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 7: I trust you that she's on that train.

758
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 6: I'm sitting here, Mary Adam, He's going to be. First

759
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 6: of all, I ride the subway every day. I've worked

760
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 6: as a public devendor in this city and represented thousands

761
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 6: of people.

762
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 4: Do you think more police may make people feel safe,

763
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 4: especially black and brown?

764
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 7: They don't black and brown people.

765
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 2: Yes, brother, my god, I go to I just had

766
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: the town hall. I just had a town hall yesterday.

767
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 2: All these black and brown folks inside that town hall.

768
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: Number one issue they came up, we want to feel safer.

769
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 2: We want more cops.

770
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 6: Want people want to feel safer. It doesn't mean they

771
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 6: want more cops.

772
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 7: And if they did.

773
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 6: New York City as the most police in the country,

774
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 6: want to be the largest police department in the country.

775
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 7: How many want police? Do you want madam?

776
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 2: Go do an analysis across the city and communities of

777
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 2: color and ask them you want us to take your

778
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 2: police away or do you want more police? I guarantee

779
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: you you would be lost to find someone.

780
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 4: When you had resources to that list. You want resources

781
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 4: to get to the root of the this sho that's

782
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 4: what people think.

783
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: About the resource, about the resources we've done.

784
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 2: Think about what we check out what we've done. Check

785
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 2: out we've done. Advocates the far left, they have been

786
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 2: calling for of summer youth employment for years. We gave

787
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 2: them a hundred thousand never been done before in history.

788
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 2: Never They've been calling for investment in Nicha. We put

789
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 2: Nightscha as our top program. When I was doing during COVID,

790
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 2: I was knocking on doors handling our mask to night

791
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 2: your residents because the city refused to do so, and

792
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 2: people were saying, why are you giving a masks of

793
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 2: those people? When I was knocking the doors, I would

794
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 2: ask the residents, how are your children doing the school?

795
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 2: They said, Eric, we don't even have high speed broadband.

796
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: I said, when I get elected, we're gonna change that.

797
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: Now Nights of Residents all have free high speed broadbands

798
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 2: so they children can have access like other children.

799
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: We're doing the Nights of land Trust. No one was

800
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: able to do it.

801
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: We put more people in affordable housing using the value

802
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: system than the history of the program. We transitioned more

803
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 2: people out of shelter into housing in the in one

804
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 2: year in the history of the city. When I went

805
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 2: to do an analysis with all of my gang members

806
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 2: and I asked them the question, you know, how many

807
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 2: of you haven't learned disabilities? How many of your dyslexic?

808
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 7: All of your gang member?

809
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 6: That's what you're characterizing with people who are you kick

810
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 6: with the gang?

811
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 2: No, I mean regularly with people who you met up

812
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 2: with some drug dealers at burger I'm glad you broughte

813
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: that though. Oh let me just finish this one piece,

814
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: because this is important. We noticed when we did the

815
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 2: analysis across the country, not only in New York, across

816
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 2: the country, thirty to forty of the inmates in jail

817
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 2: and in prison have a learning disability. So when I

818
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 2: sat there, I went the chances. I said, listen, we

819
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 2: can't wait until people thank you, until people break the law.

820
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 2: We did dyslexua screening in our schools and we were

821
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 2: able to now catch and give them the wrap around

822
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 2: services they need. So I want to talk about Burger King.

823
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,800
Speaker 2: So I'm sitting at home and I look at the paper.

824
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 2: They say there's drug dealers selling drugs and for the

825
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 2: Burger King. So I call up the priest and commander

826
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 2: and I said, what is this man? We're not having

827
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 2: open drug markets, he says, He says, Maya. We did

828
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 2: a complete operation buying bus went to see, you know

829
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 2: what drugs are they selling? Who's selling drugs? He said,

830
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 2: These guys are not selling drugs. These guys are homeless

831
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 2: and they just come to feel as though they could

832
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 2: be around others. So when I went on Sunday, I

833
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: went down and did what other people don't do. I

834
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 2: spoke with them. I said, brothers, can we sit down

835
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 2: and talk. Let me find out how you know what's

836
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:42,959
Speaker 2: going on in your life. We sat in Burger King,

837
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 2: had a conversation shop brothers. They weren't even drug dealers. No,

838
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 2: they were not drug dealers. They were just homeless brothers

839
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: that just wanted to be a place where people they

840
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 2: could communicate among others. Like other folks do when people

841
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 2: have dog parks and people sit on the steps of

842
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 2: a museum, And so wee there and had a conversation

843
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 2: and we were able to identify what services and what

844
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 2: I learned from them. You could have all the services

845
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 2: you want, but if people don't know the entry remp

846
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 2: to those services, then what good is it. So now

847
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 2: we're going to devise a program that they're gonna help

848
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 2: me devise on how to reach out to those services.

849
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 2: Then I want those brothers to become recruiters to go

850
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 2: inside the shelters. But you're not gonna do that if

851
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 2: you are afraid to get on the ground and have

852
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 2: these one on one conversations. I've been here, man. You

853
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 2: know I know what it is to buy a nickel

854
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 2: bag and make a joints so mommy can feed herself.

855
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 2: I know what it is to run numbers. I know

856
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: what these should do. All those things. So I'm comfortable

857
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 2: among my folks. And the problem that a lot of

858
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 2: people don't understand is they don't know how authentic I

859
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 2: am about this work. But they're gonna look back over

860
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 2: it and say, we had a mayor that came from

861
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: us and deliver it for us. Even the billions of

862
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 2: dollars that I'm putting into mwbe's that we've never had before.

863
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 2: People gonna look back over these years and said, this

864
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 2: brother was real.

865
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 4: About what he's doing. Because that's why I'm doing this.

866
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,479
Speaker 4: You people were rapping about. I have two more questions.

867
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 4: How do debit cards for.

868
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 2: Migrants compare to New York City welfare benefits. I like

869
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 2: that that's a good question because that was one of

870
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 2: the biggest myths, and I think the Daily News you

871
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 2: see the piece today of saying why this makes sense.

872
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 2: So here's what happened. We were paying people because we

873
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 2: by LAWD we got to feed them three meals a day.

874
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 2: We got to feed the migrants three meals a day.

875
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: When I told the team we spentd we got to

876
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 2: bring down the cost of this by thirty percent because

877
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 2: it was costing us too much money twelve billion dollars

878
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 2: over three years, four billion dollars. Already. One of the

879
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 2: places was food. We were seeing that we were having

880
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 2: a ten percent food waste. People were getting food that

881
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,919
Speaker 2: didn't want and he just card it. So my team

882
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 2: came together, first Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright, first black woman

883
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 2: to be a first deputy man. She came up with

884
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 2: a team called Mulchifi MWe Black Product. They said that

885
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 2: we can give people food cards where they can only

886
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 2: purchase food and baby supplies. You will save six hundred

887
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a month. In course, people would buy the

888
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 2: food that they want and not giving it to them

889
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 2: from someone from some large conglamorate. Then they will have

890
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 2: to spend the cards in the bodegas, the supermarkets, the

891
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: local stores, so the money stays inside the community. And

892
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 2: the program is run by a person of a person

893
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: of color. With saving over seven million dollars a year,

894
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 2: where no more food waste because people buying what they want.

895
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 2: It's a black owned company, so we put money back

896
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 2: into a black businesses like I said I was going

897
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 2: to do, and you cannot buy anything but food or

898
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 2: baby supplies. It's a complete win. But people heard it

899
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 2: and it was sensationalized. Oh you're giving money to Mike.

900
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 2: They only getting thirteen dollars a day for the three meals.

901
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 2: It's a winning program.

902
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,959
Speaker 7: It's not that I have a problem, it said again.

903
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 6: The sensationalism has a lot to do with the fact

904
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 6: that you got up and declared that we have this

905
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 6: migrant crisis, and I thought it was interesting your earlier

906
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 6: point about the difference between how Ukrainian migrants are being

907
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 6: received versus migrants Black and Latino migrants, because again, you

908
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 6: gave a town hall where you were the one who

909
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 6: gave this speech and incent like you incentivized New.

910
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 7: Yorkers to feel this way, feel which way.

911
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 6: Just feel like there is a migrant crisis where the

912
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 6: migrants are being treated differently than them, where they're getting

913
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 6: resources that the migrants are getting resources that are not

914
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 6: being given to them, because you were the one who

915
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 6: presented it to the city that you had to cut

916
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 6: budgets across because of the migrant crisis, even though recently

917
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,439
Speaker 6: you decided that you all actually do have the money

918
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 6: to handle the migrant issue, that just wasn't publicized as much.

919
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 7: So this goes back to my original discussion.

920
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,919
Speaker 2: So you an attorney and you I'm amazed. I think

921
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 2: your art is I'm just going to throw it out

922
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 2: there and make people fin.

923
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 7: Before you say, there's an entire council council that knows your.

924
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 2: Lem met me, let me we we still don't have

925
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 2: the money for the migrant We spent it twelve billion

926
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 2: dollars in three years, four billion dollars already.

927
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: What I said to New York Is at that town.

928
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:10,240
Speaker 2: Hall, this issue will bankrupt will destroy our city. This issue.

929
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 6: You called specific countries. I remember you calling the countries.

930
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 6: They weren't any and migrants. You weren't talking about them.

931
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 2: So what happened when we don't have sister, I did

932
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 2: not call the countries what they were front front.

933
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 7: I went on the video, I went to Mary Adam.

934
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 2: I went to Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico to get a full

935
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 2: understanding of the flow. I went to the southern border,

936
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 2: just as I went to those brothers in Burger King

937
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 2: I went to the southern border to understand the problem.

938
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 7: I remember you started that tour before you were going

939
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 7: to go to go d C.

940
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 6: And when you were going to go to DC to

941
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 6: Biden to talk to Joe Biden about the migrant crisis.

942
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 6: But you were stopped because they had the FBI had

943
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 6: to take your phones.

944
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: Could Lord, you just make up stuff?

945
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 2: Didn't make that up?

946
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 6: That's reported that I didn't see your phone. Yeah, I

947
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 6: didn't see your phones. They didn't investigate what that's what happened?

948
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 2: What did you just say you.

949
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 7: I said, I remember that you went on when you

950
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 7: were going to the border.

951
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,840
Speaker 2: When when I come back, I came back because somebody

952
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 2: had because.

953
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 7: It stopped, I said, I remember on the day up,

954
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 7: I remember it because.

955
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 2: You got amnesia and the media. This is this is important,

956
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 2: This is important. I want you to understand.

957
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: I want you to understand the hypocrisy of people.

958
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 2: When the law enforcement does something every day, it's bad.

959
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,959
Speaker 2: But when they do something against Eric Adams, Oh it's good.

960
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 7: I said, what happened. I didn't say that it was good.

961
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 2: I don't think.

962
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 7: For a legal can I don't think that I.

963
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 2: Came back because of not that they had to take

964
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,240
Speaker 2: my phones. That is that is not true.

965
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 7: And you just said it happened that day.

966
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: No, it did not happen that day.

967
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 7: I said, it was reported before you were going.

968
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 6: Where your phone? Did they search your topic day? Did

969
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,479
Speaker 6: they search the home of the several people? Okay, yes,

970
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 6: that's what I said. And I didn't say that was

971
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 6: a good thing. I don't think it's good about the.

972
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 4: So what happens when New York City doesn't have the

973
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 4: money for migrants and then you know the migrants are

974
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 4: in this city, and they probably have to do what

975
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 4: most poor people have to do, which is sometimes resort

976
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 4: the crime.

977
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 2: How is that gonna make the city say right? Right?

978
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,560
Speaker 2: And that's and that's part of the problem. Imagine having

979
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,320
Speaker 2: a group of people eighteen to twenty four years old

980
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 2: and it's being told you can't do anything all day.

981
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 2: When you go to these hurks and you're seeing these

982
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 2: young people, and I walk in and I talk with them,

983
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 2: some of them coming from West Africa, South America, Central America.

984
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,879
Speaker 2: All they saying is, man, we just want to work.

985
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 2: We don't want to sit around here all day and

986
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 2: not do anything. That is why the real focus should

987
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 2: be on our national government. That's saying, why you're doing

988
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 2: this to New York while you check out what they're doing.

989
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 4: They're doing it to New York, They're doing it to Chicago,

990
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 4: They're doing it to Los Angeles, they're doing it to Houston.

991
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 2: What is the same in all those cities? All black mans,

992
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 2: all black mens, and so what we're saying, same thing

993
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 2: that I'm going through here. My brother Johnson is going through,

994
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 2: my sis Sebass is going through, my brother Turner is

995
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 2: going through. So our folks are what they wanted to happen.

996
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 2: Governor Appen wanted to happen. We're gonna turn these of

997
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 2: cities against their mayors. We're gonna create this environment where

998
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 2: they're all going to go against their mayors. Go google

999
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 2: what they doing to my brother in Chicago. Go google

1000
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 2: what they doing to sister Bass. So the cities have

1001
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 2: now turned against these black mayors that are making real

1002
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 2: change for the first time. And and and they're using

1003
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 2: this to say, Okay, these black mans are not competent.

1004
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 2: They can't run their cities. They're getting everything to the

1005
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 2: miners and assimum seekers. This was a perfectly executed plan

1006
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 2: that we are buying into man look batter and when

1007
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 2: we're when we're doing just the opposite. We we I

1008
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 2: inherited a city that was in this array. This array,

1009
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 2: you know, and no matter how much you do your analysis,

1010
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,399
Speaker 2: you gotta walk away with this brother got more private

1011
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 2: sector jobs in the history of the city. We reached

1012
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 2: that point. This brother had his bond rated increased forty percent,

1013
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,760
Speaker 2: increasing crime, and I came in with now dropped those crimes,

1014
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 2: thirteen thousand guns. We moved off our city, outpacing the

1015
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 2: state and reading and writing for our children in the

1016
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 2: public schools, school system, sixty two million tourists are back here,

1017
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 2: more housing, FT vouchers. You go down the list, investing nights,

1018
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 2: you go down the list, You're seeing a brother that

1019
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 2: managed the city that people said was unmanageable, and we

1020
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 2: did it in two years, in three months. It's my

1021
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 2: last question.

1022
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 4: Do you believe the Biden administration's border policies have fueled

1023
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 4: the worst border crisis in US history?

1024
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 2: In New York? You said New York history or in

1025
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 2: the American American history New York. I think it definitely

1026
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 2: impacts us, But I think it's an accumulation of what

1027
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 2: the White House is spailing to do, and the Republican

1028
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 2: led congresses failing to do, and other administrations. People don't

1029
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 2: want to deal with the fact that we need real

1030
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 2: immigration reform. Now, let me tell you what this shit

1031
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 2: looks like. Do you know right here in our country

1032
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 2: where we are decreasing in population in many cities, we're

1033
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 2: hurting for people in many cities. When people come across

1034
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 2: the border, the national government should say, you're gonna go

1035
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 2: to this city where we need populations, stay there for

1036
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 2: three years, and then you could go anywhere you want

1037
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 2: In the country.

1038
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: We need to use this crisis as an opportunity.

1039
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,800
Speaker 2: Our cities are hurting in Kentucky, they're hurting for backstretch

1040
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 2: workers in the racing industry. We should be saying, you

1041
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 2: want to come here, You're gonna go to Kentucky. You're

1042
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 2: gonna stay for three years.

1043
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna learn how to be in the country and work.

1044
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 2: That's how we should do it instead of just saying

1045
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 2: go whatever you want and allowing this to be politicized

1046
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 2: by the governor of Texas and saying we're gonna Now,

1047
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 2: we're gonna hurt Chicago.

1048
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: Hurt New York, hurt Los Angeles, hurt Philadelphia.

1049
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 2: We just got a sister who's there was the elected

Speaker 1: To Los Angeles and Tilbass became mayor.

1054
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 2: When I when I'm when in the first female black

1055
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,799
Speaker 2: man became mayor. When she became here, they said, let's

Speaker 2: they playing us.

1058
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 4: You know that I respect any elected official who can

1059
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 4: come have this conversation.

1060
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 2: Uh, because these are the tough questions. Yeah, without a doubt,

1061
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 2: without a doubs. You know, what can y'all do to

1062
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,920

1064
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 2: You know what's an interesting You said that because when

1065
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 2: I was when I was in you know, I'm in

1066
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 2: rooms with folks, and I walk out of those rooms

1067
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 2: and I said, you know what. We both disagreed, but

1068
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 2: we both loved the city and love our people. We

1069
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 2: have to separate the ten percent of disagreement and focus

1070
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 2: on the ninety percent that we agree with.

1071
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: You agree that our children should be educated.

1072
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 2: You read that those brothers when they get but sisters

1073
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 2: when they get out of reichers, should come out better

1074
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 2: than what they went in.

1075
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 1: You agree that we should be saved. You agree that

1076
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: no mother.

1077
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 2: Should have to lose their child to over policing or

1078
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 2: to someone who is discharging the gun. We agree on

1079
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 2: many things. The temperacent that we don't agree on, then listen,

1080
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 2: let's debate that. But this ninety percent of the stuff.

1081
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 2: We agree that black women should be able to go

1082
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 2: through their school system and get into some of these

1083
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 2: employments like first man in history that have five women

1084
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 2: deputy man. First man in history Dominican, Filipino, African American, Trinidadian.

1085
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 2: You know, first man history that has a person of color.

1086
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 2: That's the police commissioner, correction commissioner. First man history that

1087
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:54,200
