Speaker 4: the city. How you feeling, brother good man? You know,

12
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 4: I mean, I took my hand off the steering wheel

13
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 4: a long time.

14
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: Let's go.

15
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 4: Let God turn on my GPS. My God positioned a satellite,

16
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 4: got me here. He's gonna take me to the next level.

17
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 5: You know a question everybody keeps asking, are you dropping

18
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 5: out of the mayor race?

19
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 4: And you know what, I answered that one hundred and

20
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 4: one time, and no matter how I answer it, they

21
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 4: come back with the same Seven weeks ago when they

22
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 4: first raised that I had something that Gracie mansion and

23
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 4: said listen, I'm here to the end, they wrote that

24
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 4: he's dropping out. They say, then he's going to want

25
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 4: He's going to Saudi Arabia. I said, no, I'm not.

26
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 4: They then they I was going to be hud No,

27
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 4: I'm not. I was going to meet Donald Trump at

28
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 4: Yankee Stadium.

29
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: No, I did not.

30
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 4: Well, people don't understand when you run for mayor, one

31
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 4: of the most important aspects of running for mayor is

32
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 4: raising the money.

33
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: People couldn't beat me.

34
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 4: At the Poland site, and so they orchestrated and organized

35
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 4: to really undermine my campaign. When you hear that the

36
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 4: mayor is dropping out over and over again, your funders

37
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 4: are gone. Now I'm in court with campaign finance board.

38
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: They owe me four million dollars. They don't want to

39
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: give it to me. I spent eight million dollars the

40
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: last time I ran. I'm down to now half of

41
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 4: that now. So they have undermined my ability to get

42
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 4: my message out by making sure they cut off all

43
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 4: the ways I could raise money to get it done.

44
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 4: So now I'm in a point now when I'm meeting

45
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 4: with my funders. They said everything. They keep telling me,

46
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 4: you're dropping out. So our goal is to finish this race.

47
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 4: But we have to win this court. That's in case,

48
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 4: that's in its case, that's in court right now to

49
00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 4: get out four million dollars.

50
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: Question.

51
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: When you first came in office, it seems like the

52
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: city loved Mayor Adams, right. They loved you, loved the

53
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: fact that you were touching the people, you were outside,

54
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: you were doing things that a lot of mayors wouldn't like.

55
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: You were on forty second Street giving away food. You

56
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 3: were doing a lot for the city. You were popping

57
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 3: up in Harlem and Brooklyn and Queens. And then it

58
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: became a turning point where people started to not like

59
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: Mayor Adams or start to dislike, why did that happen?

60
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 3: Do you think it was an orchestrated thing? Why do

61
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: you think people started questioning That's a great question.

62
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: Think about it. Fun moment where do people get their

63
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: opinions from.

64
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 4: They pick up the papers, they start reading the papers,

65
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 4: and they start saying, Okay, this is what's happening in

66
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 4: the city. When I go to town halls, when I'm

67
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 4: at forty projects, when I go out to a storia

68
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 4: and I start sharing what we have done, people say, what,

69
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 4: I didn't know that there was when I one mayor.

70
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 4: Here's the inner story that a lot of people don't know.

71
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 4: When I won mayor. You can't win city wide in

72
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 4: this city without winning what's called the New York Times Belt,

73
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 4: Upper West Side, Oxlo, Kyle Gardens, Brooklyn Heights.

74
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: I lost all of that.

75
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 4: The everyday person in the street say, this guy is

76
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 4: one of us, and from day one go look at

77
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 4: how I was covered. People don't know I build more

78
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 4: housing in the city than any manor in the history

79
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: of the city in my individual years. They don't know

80
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 4: that low income New York is no longer pay them

81
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 4: come tax because of me, nineteen billion dollars in black

82
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 4: and minority owned businesses that I put in. They don't

83
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: know what I'm doing for forced care children, paying their

84
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 4: college tuition, giving them life coaches until they twenty one.

85
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 4: They don't know what we're doing about homelessness, putting people

86
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 4: to permanent housing.

87
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: Nobody knows my story.

88
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 5: If they don't know, then if they don't know, then

89
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 5: is it really getting done? Because if the people should

90
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 5: be the ones that have impact about what you're doing,

91
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 5: so why wouldn't they know?

92
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 4: Right Well, here there's a couple of things. People who

93
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 4: go through it knows it all the time. They righting me,

94
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 4: they stopped me in the street. They tell me about

95
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: the housing they got, my universal after school program, what

96
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 4: we're doing about dyslexia.

97
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: Folks on Rykers.

98
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 4: I've been on Rykers all in the morning, the man

99
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 4: the history of the city, speaking with the inmates, giving

100
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 4: them the services they need. So those who are recipient

101
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 4: of it they know. But when you pick up the paper,

102
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: the average day person that's sitting down reading, all they

103
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 4: know is that, hey, this guy's out all the time.

104
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: Part of it.

105
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 4: No, I revitalized my our nightlife industry, a by yourself,

106
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 4: multi billion dollars, multi billion.

107
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: Dollar industry, multi billion dollar industry.

108
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 4: Before I became man, they were closing down these industries

109
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 4: with black and brown people were opening their own businesses,

110
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 4: they were closing them down.

111
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: That stopped under me. I said, We're no longer going

112
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: to go.

113
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 4: In and close down the heart and soul of how

114
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 4: these businesses start and how they employ one hundred thousand

115
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 4: people who are getting jobs through it. So so what

116
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 4: you do now during campaign, you take your campaign money

117
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 4: and you able to go over the media and speak

118
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 4: directly to people.

119
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: I don't have the money.

120
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: You know, over the past weekend, you didn't attend any.

121
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 5: P public events while a lot of the rivals with

122
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 5: out campaigning, and people use that to fuel more speculation

123
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 5: that you're preparing to drop out, So how do you

124
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 5: respond to that?

125
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 4: Sick too much to Charlamagne. No matter what I said,

126
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 4: they did it anyway. We were sitting down behind the scenes,

127
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 4: sitting down with funded, sitting down with the campaign team, figuring.

128
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: Out our strategies to go. I could be out.

129
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 4: I'm outside all the time. Brother, you know, I could

130
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 4: be outside running around the city all the time. But

131
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 4: anyone that knows how to build their institutions know there's

132
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 4: a time for you to meet with your team and

133
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: strategize what the next steps are. Just running around the

134
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 4: city is not how you win a campaign. And they

135
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 4: don't have day jobs.

136
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: I do.

137
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: I still got a day job. I had the U incoming,

138
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 4: a major security issue that we had to make sure

139
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 4: was correct. I had the high holiday, I had to

140
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 4: Russashana come in making sure we deal with threats.

141
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: So I still have to run the city. It's not

142
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: just about running around shaking hands.

143
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 4: I had a job to do and I gotta build

144
00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 4: my strong campaign.

145
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 5: And that's that's what I give you credit for that

146
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 5: because you know they were giving you flat for not

147
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 5: being at the African American Day Parade. But I've seen

148
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 5: you at events like like the heaven up in Harlem.

149
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: Event that og Daniel did right.

150
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: That wasn't like a scheduled thing.

151
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: You're just there right right.

152
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 4: And listen, there's never been a man in the history

153
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 4: of the city that's been among the people like I have.

154
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: You know, I'll drive through Brownsville and all of a sudden,

155
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: I see a closed barber shop, closed hair salon, people

156
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 4: sitting in the back smoking a cigar. I'm popping in

157
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 4: there talking to them. How you feeling on the ground, folks,

158
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 4: what's happening on the ground. You know, I can walk

159
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 4: through any community in this city and you see from

160
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 4: the Upper West Side to Harlem to Brooklyn, people see that.

161
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 4: You know what Eric is among us, And I've never

162
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 4: stopped being among it. That's nothing special about me, you know.

163
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 4: You know I've never come across that. Listen, I'm a

164
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 4: man special. No, I'm the same dislects it South Jamaica

165
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 4: Queen's Hole and your sneak as carboys in the bottom.

166
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 4: I'm the same person, brother, same person. And they never

167
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 4: had a mayor like me, and they never want to

168
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 4: see that mayor do it again. What we did for

169
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 4: black and brown people in the city's amazing. Think about

170
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 4: this for a moment. A lot of people don't even

171
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 4: realize this. So who the victims of shootings in the

172
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 4: city black and brown? Twenty three thousand illegal guns off

173
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 4: the street, the lowest numbers of shootings and homicide in

174
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 4: the first seven months of this year in the history

175
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 4: of the city. Who is a street homeless? Black and brown?

176
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 4: We removed thirty five hundred people off our streets into

177
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 4: permanent housing. Permanent housing. Who's in our Department of Education

178
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 4: black and brown? Other ethnic groups are in, but predominantly

179
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 4: black and brown.

180
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: And we have.

181
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 4: Improved education in our city, our pace to state and reading,

182
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 4: the math, universal after school programs, one hundred and fifty

183
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 4: thousand children into pre K.

184
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: Who is summer youth employment black and brown?

185
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 4: One hundred thousand summer youth employment that we've done never

186
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 4: been done before. So what I'm saying is, when you

187
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 4: pick apart my success in my policies, you have to

188
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 4: say to yourself, this guy has gone after those who.

189
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: Are ignored for years. I agree with you.

190
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: But you know, the thing that we talk about all

191
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: the time is we hear all these numbers of stats, right, yes,

192
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: and we talk about we hear about crime coming down.

193
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: But a lot of times it doesn't feel like that, right,

194
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: And maybe that's what we hear in the stories, like

195
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: you know, I'm driving in today, police officer puns in

196
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: the face and knocked onto the train tracks and pulled out.

197
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: You know, shooting here, shooting there, shooting in there. It

198
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 3: doesn't feel as safe as the numbers would say it.

199
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: Was, right. Why do you say that? And that's a

200
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: great question, brother, Think about this for a moment.

201
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 4: Five point six million people ride our subway every day,

202
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 4: five point six million. We have five average of five

203
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 4: feelings a day on our system. With five point six million,

204
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 4: I mean, those numbers are astronomical. And so when you

205
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 4: city of eight point five million people, when you take

206
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 4: the worst thing that happens in that city that day

207
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: and you plastered on the front pages, how were you

208
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 4: gonna fail people? When I inherited the subway system, when

209
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 4: I became mayor, no one wanted to be on.

210
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: The subway system. We put police officers on there.

211
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 4: We went down to make sure we got people with

212
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 4: severe mental health off our issues, off our system. We

213
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 4: removed the encampments. People were living on the side of highways.

214
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 4: They were even in boxes and tents on our streets.

215
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 4: And so no, people don't feel that way because it

216
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 4: takes a lot of time before your perception view the reality.

217
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 4: Sometimes people are living in the past of what they

218
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 4: felt before.

219
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 5: So when you put more police presents on the subways,

220
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 5: it bought the crime.

221
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: There was a combination of things we did.

222
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,599
Speaker 4: When we did in the analysis, we saw that a

223
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 4: lot of people say, well, hey, we want the police

224
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 4: walking through our trains. That's not where the crimes were happening.

225
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 4: The crimes will happening on the platforms. And so when

226
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 4: we did a combination number one putting our visible presence

227
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 4: on the platform, number two going after those with severe

228
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 4: mental health issues and getting them the care that they need.

229
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 4: A thousand people we took off the streets. And so

230
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 4: you're right, brother, when you say, okay, you're giving us

231
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 4: the numbers. But when you run a city, you have

232
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 4: to run it based on indicators. You have to run

233
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 4: it based on something to determine if you're moving in

234
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 4: the right direction. Because when bond raiders determined are we

235
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 4: gonna tell people to invest in your city, we need

236
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 4: to see these indicators. The bond raiders raised my bond,

237
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 4: they said, this guy has gone through COVID two hundred

238
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 4: and thirty seven thousand migras and asylum seekers law fair

239
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 4: where they hit him with some bogus federal charges. Out

240
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 4: of all of that, this guy has still moved the

241
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 4: city forward unprecedented levels. You know, so the numbers don't lie.

242
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 4: You know, I can say whatever I want, But when

243
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 4: you analyze, here's where the city was, Here's where the

244
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 4: city is. We have more jobs in New York and

245
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 4: the history of the city. I broke the erecord eleven

246
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 4: times more small businesses in the history of the city.

247
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 4: When I came into an office, black unemployment was four

248
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 4: times the rates of white unemployment. We dropped it by

249
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 4: twenty percent in the black and brown community. We turned

250
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 4: this city around. Now, when people are pissed off at,

251
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 4: look who I did it with. First black women to

252
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 4: be a first deputy mayor, first black woman police commissioner,

253
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 4: A first Hispanic male to run the Department of Correction,

254
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 4: first black to be a chief advisor, first a Dominican

255
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 4: in the history of the city to be a deputy mayor,

256
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 4: first Filipino to be a deputy mayor of first Indian

257
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 4: to be a deputy mayor.

258
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: I changed the landscape of the city.

259
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 3: Do you feel like that's the reason why you're being

260
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: attacked so much because you've done so much?

261
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: I take so many minorities on. Well, no, I think

262
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: it's a combination.

263
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 4: Someone told me one time, they said, listen, Eric, you

264
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 4: don't have enough gray haired white men around you. You

265
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 4: looked at my administration, brother, my administration looked like us, and.

266
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: So what do they do? They say, you know what,

267
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: let's start just tackling him in his community. It's the

268
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: same thing happened with David Dinkins.

269
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 4: You know, go back and look at the stories at

270
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 4: David Dinkins and see how they had the community start saying, well,

271
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 4: you know, David Dinkins is always dressing up in the suit.

272
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 4: He's not you know, he's not one of us anymore.

273
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: And they roaded his base of support. So our folks

274
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 4: just stayed home. You know, they just did it just

275
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 4: enough to have him, to have our folks stayed home.

276
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 4: This is you know, I'm the second black mayor in

277
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 4: over thirty years. We have not had a black mayor

278
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 4: in thirty years. And I learned from David Who Mayor

279
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 4: Dinkins who tutored me and told me, and I said,

280
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 4: I'm going I'm going to go in with a clear

281
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 4: agenda of how do we help those.

282
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: Who have been underserved for years? And we did it.

283
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: The record is clear.

284
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: But a lot of your criticism comes from black people though.

285
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, but why to tell me? Why where do they

286
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 4: get where they get their opinions from?

287
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: I keep I think.

288
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 4: We're underestimating the power of the media in this city.

289
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: Where do they get their opinions from?

290
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: The look at it?

291
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 5: You think you think it's white media shaping narratives negatively about.

292
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: You, Well, I know, I don't think you know.

293
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 4: You can't say only the white media, right, look across

294
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 4: the country, look across the country, look at the black

295
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 4: mans across the country.

296
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: And look what they're doing and bring it down prime

297
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: trust country.

298
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 5: And I'll give you credit to you were the first

299
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 5: person that at least put that on my radar.

300
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 2: Last time you would say, you said, there was an attack.

301
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 4: On man black man's Look at under the previous administration,

302
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 4: a lot of people want to talk about it. Under

303
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 4: the previous administration, the migras and asylum seekers went to Chicago,

304
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 4: went to Los Angeles, went to Houston, went to New York.

305
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 4: What was the same in all of those cities. They

306
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 4: were all black mans. And check this out. This is

307
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 4: the thing that a lot of people don't realize. They said, Okay, Eric,

308
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 4: the migros in assylum seekert issues over everything is fine.

309
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: No, it's not.

310
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 4: Of course, the seven point two billion dollars that is

311
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 4: seven point two billion dollars that I could not put

312
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 4: into five hundred million into chronically absent children, a billion

313
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 4: dollars into senior housing, five hundred millions into more programs

314
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 4: for our youth formerly incarcerated. That money is going to

315
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 4: have a long term impact on our city. We're going

316
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 4: to see the byproduct of what that fre this administration

317
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 4: did to us. We're gonna see the by product of

318
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 4: that for years to come.

319
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 5: But a lot of that is democratic messaging fault, because

320
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 5: you know, you created sanctuary cities and you said that

321
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 5: those people will welcome here. So what a lot of

322
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 5: those Republican governors did was put those people on planes

323
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 5: and busses and send them to those so called sanctuary cities.

324
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 2: And then when y'all got overwhelmed, y'all was like whoa They.

325
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: Said, look, let me give you my version of it.

326
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 4: You know, let's understand what centuary city is, because a

327
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 4: lot of people conflate sanctuary cities.

328
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: What we say at centuary cities.

329
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 4: So when somebody buy this bottle of water, they pay

330
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 4: taxes on this bottle of water.

331
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: Those taxes allow you services.

332
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 4: So if your child needs to be educated, they should

333
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 4: be allowed to go to school. If you're a victim

334
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 4: of a crime, you should be allowed to call a police.

335
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 4: If you need medical care, you should be allowed to

336
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 4: go to the hospital. Because you're paying taxes. You don't

337
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 4: walk into a grocery store and someone say you're undocumented,

338
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 4: so I'm not gonna give you the tax No, you

339
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 4: allowed to get those taxes when people when we tell people,

340
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 4: if you come here, we're gonna treat you what respect.

341
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 4: We're gonna make sure you get the services that your

342
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 4: tax dollars are paying for, and we're gonna make sure

343
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 4: you're treated with dignity and respect. It was the federal

344
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 4: government responsibility to seal a border. So people can say

345
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 4: what they want about the current administration. When they sealed

346
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 4: the border, we stopped getting to flow. I was getting

347
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 4: four thousand a week, and the federal law said, you

348
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 4: can't stop the buses from coming in Eric, you can't

349
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 4: even allow them to work. You can't even allow them

350
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 4: to volunteer and give them a stifle And the city

351
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 4: law said, you're gonna feed, house clothed and educate the children.

352
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 4: So I'm following the law when they came into the city.

353
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 4: I don't control who comes into the country, but I

354
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 4: have to make sure while you're here your children are

355
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 4: in school. They're not they're going to be the victims

356
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 4: of abuse by staying home. I gotta make sure if

357
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 4: you need medical care, you could go to the Hospital's

358
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 4: not you're gonna overrun my emergency room. And people would

359
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 4: pray on you, knowing that you can't call a police

360
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 4: if you're a victim of a crime.

361
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: So it wasn't that we said whoa, whoa, whoa. I

362
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: was always saying, whoa. Control your control. The borders. Don't

363
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: put this on cities.

364
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 4: The cities are having to fulfill the obligations federal government.

365
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 4: And in spite of that, we moved the city forward.

366
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 4: You know, the people will tell you, you know what

367
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 4: the guy did move the city for it. You know,

368
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 4: the guy did turn around of the city. The guy

369
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 4: did improve employment, improve housing. Had the city say we

370
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 4: got it, we got it, you know, but you know what,

371
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 4: he's too close to truck. But nobody tells you. I

372
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 4: took this administration to court more than any mayor in

373
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 4: the country. They sued me, you know, more than any mayor.

374
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 4: And when we needed the administration, we were able to

375
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 4: get the call them to get the things done. So

376
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 4: it's not that I'm not under anyone's thumb. I'm running

377
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 4: my city. I'm fighting for my city because I know

378
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 4: the impact it has on those communities.

379
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 6: Yes, what do you say to people that have given

380
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 6: up on council altogether? Because I know you you talk

381
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 6: about the numbers and everything. You say numbers don't lie.

382
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 6: But a lot of people they're not paying attendions to

383
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 6: the numbers. They paying assision to what they're going through.

384
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

385
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 6: They see their day to day life. It ain't safe

386
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 6: for them. It's no crime is down, I mean crime

387
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 6: is up to them. They're not making no money.

388
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 4: They you know, without a doubt, listen, is it expensive

389
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 4: to live in New York. You're doing right, you know

390
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 4: you're doing right. Jordan my Son tells me all the time.

391
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 4: He's like dad, you know, but think about for mama

392
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 4: what I said in twenty twenty three, a.

393
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: Year in office, I sat down with the team. I said, listen,

394
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: I don't have.

395
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 4: Any control on the price of bread, but I could

396
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 4: put bread back in the pockets of New Yorkers. We

397
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 4: put thirty billion dollars back into the pockets of New Yorkers.

398
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: What does that look like.

399
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 4: Free high speed brought band for nightscha and other homes.

400
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 4: That's one hundred and fifty nine dollars a month. We

401
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 4: dropped the court of childcare if you have two children

402
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 4: in schools, we dropped the course in childcare. We dropped

403
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 4: the cost of childcare from twenty two twenty twenty dollars

404
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 4: a month to less than twenty dollars a month. That's

405
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 4: another two hundred dollars. We're paying off medical debt. If

406
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 4: you're a low income New Yorker and you have META,

407
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 4: we're paying that off for you.

408
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: You not long have to pay.

409
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 4: For that of universal after school program for free, paying

410
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 4: the college tuition of night of our forster care of

411
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 4: care children. So when you start picking apart our programs,

412
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 4: it comes to a total of thirty billion dollars.

413
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 5: So why are those actual actions not resonating with people?

414
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 5: But Mandannie's messaging of affordability is because if you actually

415
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 5: already are putting more money back in people's pockets, why

416
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 5: is it not resonating. But his messaging of affordability.

417
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 4: Is without a doubt, Brothers, think about for a moment,

418
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 4: because what he has done successfully says I'm going to

419
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 4: identify the pain that people are feeling. Yes, Eric is

420
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 4: addressing it, but you're not learning about that. I'm addressing

421
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 4: it because it's not being coveed. We need to be

422
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 4: clear on that. And so what he has done successfully

423
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 4: is says I'm going to identify the pain that people

424
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 4: are feeling. I'm just going to tell him anything that

425
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 4: they want to hear.

426
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 2: But it shouldn't be no pain if you're actually addressing

427
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: the issue.

428
00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: Though.

429
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, but going back to what with all of you said,

430
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 4: perception is reality. Think about the fourth think think about

431
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 4: this for a moment. He's putting down a proposal saying

432
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 4: I'm going to freeze your rent. Right, he can't. You

433
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 4: can't free freeze night your rent. You can't freeze Mitchyallama rent.

434
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 4: You can't free market rate rent. You can't freeze affordable

435
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 4: housing rent. You could only freeze and he can't even

436
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 4: really freeze it. The board has to freeze it of

437
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 4: the rent guidelines. Board has to freeze it if you're

438
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 4: part of one portion of housing in the city. So

439
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 4: now everyone is running around the city. That's in Knightsia,

440
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 4: that's in Mitchellama, that's in market rate. Say okay, he's

441
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 4: gonna freeze our rent.

442
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: So he's selling dreams. The guy is Snake's oil salesman man.

443
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: The guy and not only that, think about this also

444
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: for a moment, you got a daughter, of course, got too.

445
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 4: Excuse me, right, how do you feel if your daughter,

446
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 4: I don't know if she's an athlete or not. Your

447
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 4: daughter is an athlete, she plays volleyballs, she goes into

448
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 4: the locker room and you know, after the game, take

449
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 4: a shower. His mindset is that a male that thinks

450
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 4: he's a woman can walk aside that.

451
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: Shower with him, take a shower with him. I don't

452
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: rock that.

453
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 5: Way, No, I'm laughing. That feels but that feels like

454
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 5: an old play. Now like that, man, I feel like

455
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 5: an old play that you just ran. Like that felt

456
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 5: like I feel like something than the Trump playbook from

457
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 5: Maial No, I agree, but I'm just shocking at you.

458
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: About decriminalizing prostitution.

459
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 4: You know what, I just cleaned up prostitution over the

460
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 4: city by connecting sisters and people who are victims of

461
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 4: sex crimes. I've given them the services and support that

462
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 4: they need.

463
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 2: Decriminalized prostitution.

464
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: He wants a decriminalized prostitution?

465
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: Yea did he would agree with that?

466
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: Shut up?

467
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 6: Man?

468
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: You know so, why is mom Donnie bad for the city?

469
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: Why do you think he shouldn't do a couple a

470
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 3: couple of tell us the reason why? Because right now

471
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: it seems like he's winning the polls, and like Charlamagne said,

472
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 3: people are lead standing behind them people.

473
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: I heard it.

474
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 2: Man.

475
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 4: When you when you think about all the movements across

476
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 4: the globe in history, how people when they're in pain,

477
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 4: how they resonate those who give them these false hot

478
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: I'm promising Ma, it's not new.

479
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: This is not new.

480
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: I understand.

481
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 5: Example, why are they in pain if you are telling

482
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 5: us you've done all of this stuff to relieve their pain?

483
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: Is the perception and reality? I'm confused you No, A.

484
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: Lot of it is perception. Number one. A lot of

485
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: is frustration.

486
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 4: You know, remember brother, I was mad for three years

487
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 4: in eight months, three years in eight months. A lot

488
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 4: of this stuff is systemic, you know, not doing dyslexia

489
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 4: screening to address our brothers and sisters. Who is going

490
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 4: to write this thirty percent of them a dyslexic. I'm

491
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 4: doing dyslexive screen and now not dealing with mental health.

492
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 4: You know, people are walking the past, people living on

493
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 4: the streets. We're taking them off the streets. So a

494
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 4: lot of this is systemic. You know, you gotta you

495
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 4: have a mad Win. Three years in eight months, they

496
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 4: had to go through COVID, go through a whole city,

497
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 4: dropped in our city. And in spite of that, we've

498
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 4: addressed the issues of people that were needed. So is

499
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 4: it going to happen in one term? Three years and

500
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 4: eight months? You know, really were talking three years, we

501
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 4: turned around. Is it going to happen in one time? No?

502
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 2: So you've made progresses?

503
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: Well exactly, you haven't. Everybody, No, no, we have not.

504
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 7: We have what about reports? So that like directly like

505
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 7: go against what you're saying, right, because I saw an

506
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 7: article in the New York Times and they talk about

507
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 7: the sixty percent increase in police.

508
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: There was a surgeon misconnic.

509
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, a surgeon misconmic reports.

510
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 2: Against NYPD offices under yes.

511
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 7: And but you talk or you speak positively of putting

512
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 7: more police in certain places and what thats done for people.

513
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 7: But they're saying that there are these numbers and the

514
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,719
Speaker 7: reports that people can go and read themselves that counter that. Like,

515
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 7: how that's not perception, that's people actually dealing with something.

516
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 4: First of all, remember how I cut my teeth, you know,

517
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 4: remember how I got into this game in the first place.

518
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: I started one hundred blacks in law enforcement? Who care?

519
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: I was arrested? I was beat by police officers as

520
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: a child.

521
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 4: Reverend Herbert Daltrey told me to go into the police

522
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 4: department to fight against reform. Police abuse and misconduct is

523
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 4: not new, you know, in the department. While I was

524
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 4: in the department, I was fighting against police abuse.

525
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: And many people believe.

526
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 4: When they shout out my car windows because of my

527
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 4: advocacy as a police officer. So this is what I've

528
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 4: always fought for to make sure that we could have

529
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 4: safety and justice at the same time. And when those

530
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 4: police misconduct cases come up, we want to go in

531
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 4: and make sure we take out those those police officers

532
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 4: who are abusive and abusing the authority. It's not new,

533
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,239
Speaker 4: this has been a long fight to do so. And

534
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 4: while we're taking out those officers who are abusive, we're

535
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 4: not forgetting more and Rivera. You know, two young officers

536
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 4: assassinated while they're.

537
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: Doing the job.

538
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 4: We're not forgetting Detective Dealer who was shot on the streets.

539
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 4: Thanks so much, I'm gonna ask me the same thing.

540
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 4: We're not forgetting, you know, those who out there taking

541
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 4: twenty three thousand illegal guns off our streets.

542
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: So there's a balance.

543
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 4: Those who are abusive, as I've always done in polices,

544
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 4: we need to target them and we need to get

545
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 4: them out of the department if they are suitable to

546
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 4: do so. But we trust me every townholl I go

547
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 4: to every older adult center, I go to every community group.

548
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: I go to the first thing. They said, every where

549
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: our police.

550
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 4: We want our police on our subways, we want them

551
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 4: on our corners, we want our police. I have never

552
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 4: been to one town hall meeting where people say we

553
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 4: want our police out of the community.

554
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 5: Well, question when it comes to the rise and misconduct

555
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 5: complaints against NYPD, offices. What do you think led to

556
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 5: that increase? Is it more public scrutiny, is it changes

557
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 5: in reporting? Are the changes in behavior of the offices?

558
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: What is combination?

559
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 4: People is easier to make a report now you have

560
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 4: some younger officers on that have to really get acclimated

561
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 4: to what it is police, And so it's a combination.

562
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 4: If you were to look at all of those rivers

563
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 4: that are feeding the sea of misconduct, you need to

564
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 4: damn meet river and also keeping them in an account.

565
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that report showed that the number.

566
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 4: Of interactions that police are having, the number of interactions

567
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 4: with the public.

568
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: You know, how you.

569
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 4: Interact with the public, how many times you're being called

570
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 4: for service, And so each one of those cases must

571
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 4: be investigated and it must be carried out to do

572
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 4: a proper investigation. If somebody did something wrong, they must

573
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 4: be they must be held accountable.

574
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 5: So what immediate reforms would you push to to address

575
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 5: that the rise?

576
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 4: Expediting the investigation before it was taken too long.

577
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: It was taking years.

578
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 4: Somebody make a complaint, it was taken far too long.

579
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 4: We believe you to expedite so you could identify what

580
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 4: officer should no longer be suitable to be a police officer,

581
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 4: or if somebody needs to be training, you know, all

582
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 4: of the person should get in infraction for the action

583
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 4: that took place. This is what I advocated for as

584
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 4: one hundred BLACKSLA law enforcement who care as a police officer,

585
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 4: going on all the way through the process.

586
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: Like I don't.

587
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,719
Speaker 4: I didn't read about Diallo. I know the Diallo family.

588
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 4: You know, I didn't read about an Avenue. Louima came

589
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 4: out and endorsed me when I ran for office. These

590
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 4: people know I've been side by side with police reform nationally.

591
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 4: I'm known nationally for what I have done around police reform.

592
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 4: So I'm not going to become the mayor and all

593
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 4: of a sudden betrayed what I have committed my life to.

594
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: Doing dealing with policemen reform in misconduct. Now. I also

595
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: have been always strong on public on public safety.

596
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 4: But I can't tell you how many times I'm in

597
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 4: these hospitals, man, talking to these to these mothers. I

598
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 4: spoke to the mother of a young sixteen year old

599
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 4: girl the other day who was shot in the head

600
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 4: just playing in the park.

601
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: You know or you know that young girl fourteen year

602
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: old shot that young sixteen year old girl.

603
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 4: They were sitting in the school. I'm in these hospitals rooms.

604
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 4: I don't just say, Okay, it's a shooting, let me

605
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 4: get lost. No, I'm going and visit these family.

606
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: Man.

607
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 4: This stuff is traumatizing when you see the over proliferation

608
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 4: of violence in our streets. And so just as we

609
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 4: are fighting hard to stop a police abuse, we got

610
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 4: to step up and talk these young people down.

611
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: Man. They get the shooters are getting younger and younger.

612
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody thinks that you're not outside and

613
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 3: that you don't do those type of things. I mean,

614
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 3: that's one thing I say that people know that Mayor

615
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: Eric Adams does. But there's things that always pop up

616
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 3: in oppressed that make you look a certain way, even

617
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 3: if it's not right.

618
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: So that's why I love that you hear. So.

619
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 3: One of the biggest thing was when when Donald Trump

620
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 3: they dismissed your federal corruption charges, right, and they did

621
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 3: it without prejudice because they said they leave it open

622
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 3: that they can file charges later on right, and the

623
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 3: press put it as well, that makes him excuse my friends.

624
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's puppet exactly right.

625
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: Where you know, he can be used any which way.

626
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 3: So what do you say to those people in that

627
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 3: media and people that really believe that you're lining up

628
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 3: with Trump and that might not be what people are

629
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 3: aligned to, especially in this election.

630
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,959
Speaker 4: So think about think about this for a moment. It

631
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 4: was it was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can't come back.

632
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 4: It was dismissed with regids this without prejudice. Ye, no,

633
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 4: that's what they wanted. But the judge it is dismissed

634
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 4: with prejudice. So many people never read my indictment, and

635
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 4: I keep saying that over and over.

636
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: People need to read the indictment.

637
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 4: I was indicted for calling the fire department and asking

638
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 4: them to do a building inspection, and all the text

639
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 4: messages are there. I said, if you can't do it,

640
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 4: let me know and I'll manage their expectation. This is

641
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 4: done every day. They took that and said, well, you

642
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 4: know what, you got free upgrades. You paid for your flights,

643
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 4: but you got upgrades when you flew flying. As the

644
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 4: Bard president, I was allowed to get upgrades. They said,

645
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 4: you got free upgrade grades, which was not a gift.

646
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 4: They said, we're going to tie that and say it

647
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 4: was bribery. It was bribery. And so I'm facing thirty

648
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 4: three years in prison for this.

649
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: You know.

650
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 4: And so people say, well, if you didn't do anything wrong,

651
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 4: why would they come at you, asks Brian Benjamin. I

652
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 4: think all your callers should google Brian Benjamin High's ranking black.

653
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 4: High's ranking black in the state they indicted in them.

654
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 4: Also to judge dismissed his charge. When he looked at that,

655
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 4: they saw how bogus it was. Biden said the Justice

656
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 4: Department was politicized when he partnered his son, you know,

657
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 4: Trump said it. So the president on the campaign trial.

658
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 4: I never knew the president. I never met the president.

659
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 4: He was on the campaign trial saying, look what they're

660
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 4: doing in that mayor in New York. You know that's wrong,

661
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 4: what they doing to that mayor in New York. So

662
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 4: when he got in, he told this Justice Department, y'all

663
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 4: need to look at that case. When they looked at

664
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 4: the case and they saw some of the emails and

665
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 4: text messages that the prosecutors were doing, they said, we're

666
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 4: going to dismiss this case. That's part of the justice system.

667
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 4: De j They do it all the time. This is

668
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 4: not new This was not special for Eric. They do

669
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 4: it all the time. They looked at cases and they

670
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 4: make a determination do we want to proceed for it?

671
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 4: That was the determination they made. And my attorney sat

672
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 4: down and say, look at this case, folks, and what

673
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 4: they're doing to this mayor. They got pissed off because

674
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 4: I was not a good Democrat and I started voicing,

675
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 4: this is wrong what you're doing to our city. That

676
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 4: this is costing us too much money, this is hurting

677
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 4: our folks. They basically said, you need to be a

678
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 4: good Democrat.

679
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's just.

680
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 2: They put you in your place.

681
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: There you go.

682
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 2: So say you're polling in fourth place right now?

683
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, what makes you think you can steal wins?

684
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 4: As I as I stated, where where was Mandani?

685
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: Where was Zoran?

686
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 4: This distance out from the race, he was Andrew was

687
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 4: beating him by twenty in the primary. Yeah, in the primary.

688
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 4: At during the during the primary, day before the primary,

689
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 4: there was a poll out Andrew was up by twelve percent.

690
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: The day before the primary, he lost by fourteen percent.

691
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: And so what I.

692
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 4: Must do in these campaigns, because I've done it before.

693
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 4: Remember the only one that's the only one that's running

694
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 4: for mayor that had has ever won mayor? Is me

695
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 4: I beat an impressive field the last time, Andrew Yang

696
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 4: was beating me by fourteen points. You know what I

697
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 4: must do is I need my money. I have to

698
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 4: be able to have folks come home, open up their

699
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 4: mail and see my story. I have to be able

700
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 4: to have my field team on the street of that

701
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 4: I have to pay for, and my volunteers so they

702
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 4: can talk about my story. I need to be able

703
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 4: to do my radio ass all the things that go

704
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 4: with telling your story. Right now, I'm dependent on my

705
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 4: print media to tell my story, which they made clear

706
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 4: they're not going to tell.

707
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 5: Me on the social media, which is terrible by the way, right,

708
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 5: I don't know who the hell doing your social media.

709
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

710
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 7: There was a video that was going viral of you

711
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 7: like getting ready to go out to like an event.

712
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: Or something like that.

713
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I mean I think it gets younger people

714
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 7: wondering who you are and why you're doing it, But

715
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 7: it just doesn't add well to the conversation. Yeah, it

716
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 7: just doesn't add well to the conversation. I've always wondered

717
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 7: what what's the strategy behind that? Like, why do you

718
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 7: do that?

719
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 4: You know, and this is this is very interesting that

720
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 4: you know you have I'm not a social media I

721
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 4: don't know. I'm the first to tell y'all nothing about

722
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 4: I'm social media. But a lot of people are talking

723
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 4: about the role of young people in the election. The

724
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 4: only consistent voter in the city are fifty five plus

725
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 4: older people.

726
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: They're consistent. Everybody thought that Obama.

727
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 4: Everybody thought that young people were the ones who got

728
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 4: Obama elected. You're seeing more and more engagement of young people,

729
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 4: but Obama was you know, Obama got sixty five percent

730
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,959
Speaker 4: of the young people vote, but it was only eight percent,

731
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 4: eighteen percent of the total vote. You know, your grandmother

732
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 4: and your mom, those are the ones that come out

733
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 4: all the time.

734
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: So it's and they're not on x you know.

735
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 4: You know, they are on probably Facebook, and they still

736
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 4: get that old fashioned television, ad mailing, et cetera.

737
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: And that's what we want to focus on.

738
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 5: So when dad said, why you be doing those ridiculous

739
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 5: videos on social media, listen, like I said, I don't

740
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 5: know social media, brothers.

741
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 4: You know, you know, we we have a team of

742
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 4: folks that we put on they create of what.

743
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: The social media is. I don't know it. You know,

744
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: I know what I know, and I know what I

745
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, and I.

746
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 4: Would love to you know, you you want to come

747
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 4: on board.

748
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 5: I think you just screamed because you be outside. But

749
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 5: the narrative, the narrative is, I know, we got to

750
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 5: get out of it. The narrative, the narrative is if

751
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 5: you stay in the race, then you and Cuomo will

752
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 5: be taking votes away from each other and that'll make

753
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 5: it easier for Mondani to win.

754
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 4: Okay, So, and let's look at the facts of that.

755
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 4: The ballot is the ballot right now. You can't change

756
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 4: the ballot, you know, So no matter what happens, you

757
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 4: can't change the ballot. There's going to be five people

758
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 4: or even one of the can is Jim Walton try

759
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,959
Speaker 4: to get off? The court said no, you can't. So

760
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 4: the ballot is ballot is a ballot. What people need

761
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 4: to focus on and ask themselves is what direction do

762
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 4: they want the city to go? That's what we have

763
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 4: to ask ourselves. We've come so far, do we want

764
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 4: to go back? Do we want to go back to

765
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 4: the running off, running out millionaires and saying that you

766
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 4: don't want billionaires in the city. Who pay fifty percent

767
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 4: of our taxes. That's how we have teachers and firefighters

768
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 4: in our streets paid. Do they want people who want

769
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 4: to destabilize our local supermarkets by saying you having government

770
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 4: run supermarkets. I've been to Venezuela and Cuba. I don't

771
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 4: want those type of supermarkets here. And I don't want

772
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 4: to hurt my bodega's, my Dominicans, my Koreans, my Chinese supermarkets.

773
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 4: Do you want to legalize prostitution in our city and

774
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 4: go back to people standing on our street corners?

775
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 2: And he says, yes, up man, prostitutions legalized.

776
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: And so it's just the quality of life.

777
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 4: And you know who hurts the most, brother our communities.

778
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: Our communities can't hire private security. Our community can't go

779
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: into making sure that some.

780
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 4: Homeless person is not defecating on their street corners.

781
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,479
Speaker 1: Or sitting in their school yard.

782
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 4: Our communities will impact be impacted by these policies that

783
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 4: idealism collides with realism. So I'm not in favor of

784
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 4: defunding our public safety apparatus. I'm not in favor many

785
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 4: four hundred people on Riker's Island, He says right away,

786
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 4: he wants to get three thousand off. You know, I'm

787
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 4: not in favor of that. I'm not in favor of

788
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 4: putting them back in the communities that they prayed on.

789
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,959
Speaker 4: Give them the services they need, like what we're doing

790
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 4: with our credit program and training people to have their

791
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 4: CDL license so they can be gainfully employed. But what

792
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 4: we must do is not take our communities back.

793
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: And that's the question.

794
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 5: And if people look at it, you said, well, we

795
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 5: must not take Yeah, gotcha that.

796
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 4: If people do do an analysis and say, listen, hey, Eric,

797
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 4: we hurt you, We saw what you've done. But this

798
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 4: we want to rock with this guy. Be careful for

799
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 4: what you ask for, you know. And and and then

800
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 4: look at his supporters. Look at his supporters. You know,

801
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 4: these are the same his heart and soul of his community.

802
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 4: At those same gentrifiers that moved us out of our

803
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 4: communities and are disrespectful in our community.

804
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: That is the heart and soul. So we're buying into

805
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: a concept of a person.

806
00:35:59,200 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: What do you mean by that?

807
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: Look at look at look at his supporters.

808
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 4: Those are those are the same his supporters that mean

809
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 4: spirit pocket those Indians.

810
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, what do you mean?

811
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, When you when you look at

812
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 4: Harlem best eye other parts of our community. When you

813
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 4: saw the change of our demographics, you saw gentrification come

814
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 4: into our into our communities, those are that's the hardened

815
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 4: soul of his supporters. That's the hardened soul of other

816
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 4: people have brought into the message and started growing. But

817
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 4: the hardened soul of his supporters are those same people

818
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 4: that came in and gentrified our communities in the first place.

819
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 4: Won't patriolize our restaurants. Uh wanted to change people because

820
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 4: they're But no, not, it's not even justification specific.

821
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: Gentrification to me is not the ethnicity.

822
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 4: Ethnicity is a mindset when you come in and you

823
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 4: cannot incorporate yourself into a city, that's a mindset.

824
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: You know, you could, you could be of any ethnicity.

825
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 4: But if your belief is that, hey, I'm going to

826
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 4: come and complain about the noise that's coming from that

827
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 4: building on the corner.

828
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: That's a church, folks. Now church has been it for

829
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: such or such you for years. That's what I'm saying.

830
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 4: That mindset of displacing those long term term folks from

831
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 4: communities is that the heart and soul of his base

832
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 4: of support.

833
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 5: My last question, gotta get out here. Yeah, they're gonna

834
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 5: block the screech down to the unit in town. What

835
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 5: is Mondanie doing better than you?

836
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: Selling a lie? You know, selling a lie? You know.

837
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 4: He was an assemblymen for four years. He's missed fifty

838
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 4: percent of his votes. Like, where is his record? The

839
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 4: reason you're able to critique me is because I have

840
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 4: a record of over forty years, over forty years of

841
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 4: doing this. You can't critique him, you know. And he's

842
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 4: just selling the lines. When he was asked the other day,

843
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:53,479
Speaker 4: what is your policy or decrimination decriminalized prostitution. I haven't

844
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 4: figured out yet, figured that out yet. He's gonna sell

845
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,919
Speaker 4: a lie until he gets into office if he were

846
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 4: to win. So the reason you could sit me on

847
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 4: this show and say, Okay, here's what you've done, you know,

848
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 4: you can't do that with them.

849
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: You don't know who we don't know who we have.

850
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 4: You know, we have a person that's a good actor,

851
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 4: good communicator, and knows how to tell people whatever they

852
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,520
