1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Wake that ass up in the morning breakfast club.

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we got a special guest in the building today,

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, the mayor Eric Adams.

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 3: And we also have lawyer and political commentator Ola Yamy

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 3: right here. Good morning, Good morning, man.

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: Good good.

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 4: You know, you know, even before we get into the conversation,

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 4: I was with Jordan the other day, my son, and uh,

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 4: somehow your name came up and there was a group

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 4: of young people in the room talking about politics. It's

11
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 4: amazing how so many people are into politics now.

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: And they came up with.

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 4: Saying something about there were people saying that how you

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 4: were trying to push Trump, push Trump, push Trump. So

15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 4: Jordan pulled up this video one of your shows, or

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 4: when you broke down each time you were talking about

17
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 4: what was wrong about his race, and just broke it

18
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 4: down piece by piece, and Jordan said that, you know what,

19
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 4: truth doesn't matter anymore, No, folks, people don't care about truth,

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 4: about the fact facts no longer exist.

21
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 5: I've never put Trump actually do the opposite exactly.

22
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

23
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, but we are in a generation where everyone gets

24
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 4: up in the morning, look on social media and whatever's

25
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 4: on there. They identified as the facts, the headlines exactly.

26
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: No one goes into the body of the story.

27
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 4: Everybody's just well, you know what, this is what the

28
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 4: headline said, and that's the reality of it. And so

29
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 4: it was like an eye opener for him of how

30
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 4: I said, Jordan, for over and over again, that one

31
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 4: moment took away all those years of me saying, have

32
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 4: your own facts. Don't let anybody define for you. You

33
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: define for yourself. That's you know, that's the power of

34
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 4: this microphone, that's the power of media putting those facts out.

35
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: If we don't control the message, the message will control us.

36
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: We got a lot to talk about today your city.

37
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: So today we reported earlier about congestion, pricing, right, what's

38
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: your what's your thoughts on that.

39
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 6: I think it's gonna it's gonna cripple New York City.

40
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: You got a lot of people. The bridges already, the

41
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: tolls already high. It's seventeen dollars I think for George

42
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: Washington eleven dollars for the Midtown tunnels. Parking is extremely high. Uh,

43
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: And now getting into the city it's gonna be even

44
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: it's gonna hurt a lot of people even drive in

45
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: the city, and people are scared of the subways.

46
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 6: You know what everything's been going on.

47
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: People getting you know, pushed into the train station's crime,

48
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: and people are scared of New York City.

49
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 5: That's a lot, let's.

50
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 4: A lot hold on. But let's let's break it down

51
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 4: for a moment. Let's break it down in pieces so

52
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 4: we can really understand it. First, let's deal with the

53
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: stuff about people are scared of the subways. When I

54
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 4: became mayor, no one wanted to be on the subway.

55
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 4: We got over four million daily riders. I talked to

56
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 4: one of my guys, I was talking to your sisty

57
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 4: the other day and she said, you know, you have

58
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 4: about two three hundred crimes happening on the subway system.

59
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 4: We have six felonies a day on our subway system

60
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: out of four million riders. Look at those numbers. Our

61
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 4: subway system is a safe system. And we put it

62
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 4: in a different ditional thousand offices to do the high

63
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 4: visibility to deal with the reality because it's not only

64
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 4: felt is perceived.

65
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: So if those six felonies we got to get rid of,

66
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: we're clear on that. But people are.

67
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: Back on our subway system. But when you deal with

68
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 4: specifically congesting prices. A lot of people don't realize these

69
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 4: are the city streets. But we had no authority on it.

70
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 4: Aubany passed the law and turn it over to the MTA.

71
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: This is the MTA's baby. They should have allowed the

72
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 4: city to be able to control how congesting pricing was done.

73
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: So that fifteen dollars.

74
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 4: We were able to fight to get one hundred million

75
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 4: dollars to deal with the environmental impact in the Bronx.

76
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 4: We were able to fight to get those who are

77
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 4: shift brocused get a discount, those who make less than

78
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 4: fifty thousand dollars to get a discount. But this was

79
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: a bill that came out of Albany.

80
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 6: So you don't agree with it, or do you agree

81
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 6: with it?

82
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: No? I agree. We got to deal with something with

83
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: the congestion in our city.

84
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 4: But you don't pass on the course of that on

85
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 4: low income New Yorkers or those who have to come

86
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 4: to Manhattan. You may have to go into your chemother,

87
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 4: and this is the doctor you have to go to.

88
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 4: You should not be hit over there because.

89
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 6: People that live in the area.

90
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: They're saying that that people that actually live in the

91
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: area when they drive, if they got to drive uptown

92
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: to the doctor.

93
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 6: They got to drive. They get charged too.

94
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: Yich.

95
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 4: But I'm not feeling people that live in the area

96
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: central Manhattan east up south of sixtieth Street as the

97
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 4: best transportation system on the globe. You got Crosstown trains,

98
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 4: you have South and North trains, you have buses that

99
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 4: go across town. There's no place else on the globe

100
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 4: that you have the greatest access to public transportation than

101
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 4: people south of sixtieth Street. So I'm not feeling them

102
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 4: if they're saying that, you know, we don't have to

103
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 4: we don't want to pay you know what, you need

104
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 4: to get on the train.

105
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: I take the train, you know, so you could get

106
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: on the train.

107
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 4: I'm talking about low income New Yorkers should not have

108
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 4: to carry the burden of that, and we ask to

109
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 4: have more and a greater input and the shaping of that,

110
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 4: but we don't. People don't often realize we're creatures of Aubany.

111
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 4: Albany passed the laws. We have to implement the laws

112
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: that are down here.

113
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you're right. There is a difference between

114
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 7: perception and fact and how people feel about safety and

115
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 7: the way people feel about the subways, And I think

116
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 7: it's your own rhetoric about the subways that has a

117
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 7: lot to do with why people feel scared, despite the

118
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 7: fact that millions of people ride the subway every day

119
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 7: without incident. But you've continued to fare monger about crime

120
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,239
Speaker 7: in the subways. You've added two thousand police officers, despite

121
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 7: the fact that you've acknowledged that the subways are not

122
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 7: that dangerous. And I think there is your right poor

123
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 7: New Yorker should not be the ones who bear the

124
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 7: brunt of this, but they will if they already have

125
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 7: the subway being turned into a place that they have

126
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 7: to fare, that there's a National Guard, that there's a

127
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 7: hyper visibility of police, that they're trying to stop people

128
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 7: with certain records from even using them, and now you

129
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 7: have this congestion price. So how do you reconcile that?

130
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: Well, let's go before.

131
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 4: First of all, I would love to give me give

132
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 4: me the quotes on my rhetoric, because I'm lost in that.

133
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: Can you give me the.

134
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 7: Question that you fairmonger about the subways. Oh, you've consistently

135
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 7: done that since the day one of your administration. One

136
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 7: of the first things you did was add a thousand

137
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 7: officers to the subway because you clained that the subways

138
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 7: are unrideable. You at Hoko did this and said how

139
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 7: dangerous it is, and you recently did that when you

140
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 7: deployed the National Guard.

141
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 4: But that's how that wasn't my question my questions. What

142
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 4: was my fear mongerment? What did I say?

143
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 7: You continuously say. I could point to a number of

144
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 7: videos and quotes and everything from you, but you've said

145
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 7: repeatedly that the subways are dangerous, that New York is dangerous.

146
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 7: You complain about crime relentlessly. So what I'm saying to

147
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 7: you is if you are saying that New York is

148
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,799
Speaker 7: the safest city, it's one of the safest big cities

149
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 7: in this country, which is true, and you're recognizing that

150
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 7: the subway stations are in fact not half as dangerous

151
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 7: as they're presented to be. I'm saying, how do you

152
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 7: reconcile how your rhetoric has played into people's fair and

153
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 7: not even just rhetic.

154
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 3: I would say the actions, because she's right, if you

155
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: tell us which define the safe, it is different, but

156
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 3: it's the same thing. Though you put a thousand police

157
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: officers in the subway, two thousand in the subway.

158
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 5: That don't make us feel saying we think something's wrong.

159
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: If you don't let me let me.

160
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 4: First, let me peel back again, because you always peel

161
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 4: back this stuff, you know, because of oftentimes how you're

162
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 4: depict in the media. That I don't control is how

163
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 4: people interpret you. I didn't put the National Guards in

164
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 4: the subway. The governor did.

165
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 7: I know. But I know what you said. But you

166
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 7: said Eric, you you stood with Governor cafee Hoche and

167
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 7: you co signed that decision. You did. And I'm not

168
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 7: saying that as someone who's fall on social media. I'm

169
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 7: saying that as an attorney in the city and an

170
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 7: activist who follows everything that you do.

171
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 4: If you I'm glad you do, and then you realize

172
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 4: how I turned the city around.

173
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: If you follow everything I do.

174
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 7: You realize that I would say no, but we could

175
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 7: get to that.

176
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 4: Maxis your time, man, A long day, listen, and I

177
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 4: enjoy every moment, you know, cause this is what I do.

178
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 4: You know when you when you come with a serious history,

179
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 4: if you follow everything you do, I do.

180
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: You know how long I've been doing this and you

181
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: know what my record is.

182
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 4: So let's peel back what you just stated when people

183
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 4: fear is perceived and felt, that's what fear is. So

184
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 4: no matter as I shared that we have six felony

185
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 4: crimes a day with four million riders, if people feel

186
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 4: unsafe when we get in the subway system. I ride

187
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 4: the subway system and I talk to commuters and I say,

188
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 4: what are you feeling and how do I help you

189
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 4: with that fear? They said, we see more visible uniform

190
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 4: offices in our subway system, We're going to feel safe.

191
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: We got we got it. Oh, let me.

192
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 7: You can talk, you can feel it back.

193
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 4: We we so we got it. That the numbers are down,

194
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 4: We got it that we're back on the subway system

195
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 4: post COVID. But when we see this is what the

196
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 4: public is saying, When we see the visible presence of

197
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 4: a uniform officer, we feel safer. Now, you may say, Eric,

198
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 4: I don't want to see a visible president of a

199
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: uniform officers, and that's cool, but that's not what the

200
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: overwhelming number of New Yorkers are saying.

201
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 7: And I'm saying to you. The New York City Comptroller

202
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 7: Bradlander recently put out a report finding that fifty percent

203
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 7: of the city is disappointed and does not feel safe

204
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 7: based on your rhetoric about the subways and your over

205
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 7: police presence.

206
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: Okay, since first of all, that's not what this says

207
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: based on Eric's rhetoric, that's.

208
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 7: Not you kids, No, no, no, no. Did they say

209
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 7: based on Eric's you want to talk about based on

210
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 7: your specific system, going back.

211
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: To what you said, because you attorney, they have fact,

212
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: they say.

213
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 7: Based they have the city is there are they have

214
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 7: multiple reports in New York Times. The Gothamins, the city

215
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 7: controller and the federal monitor who reports, who reports, who's

216
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 7: tasked with making sure the NYPD and wrikers are in

217
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 7: compliance with the law, have both submitted reports saying that

218
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 7: since you became there's been a return of stopping for us,

219
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 7: that there have been over fifteen thousand stops, ninety seven

220
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 7: percent of whom have been on black and Hispanic people.

221
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 7: A fourth of those stops and searches have been unconstitutional

222
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 7: and they've yielded very few results.

223
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: Let's peel it back.

224
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 4: Eric Adams, one hundred blacks and law enforcement testified in

225
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 4: federal court that the federal court judge stated, based on

226
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 4: Eric's testify testimony, we are going to rule against the

227
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 4: police department. We were dealing with a million stops a

228
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 4: year when I was with one hundred blacks and law

229
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 4: force fere My advocacy is what turned it around from

230
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 4: that million stops a year. Look at the numbers right

231
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:43,119
Speaker 4: right now. My advocacy and showing how to do policing correctly,

232
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 4: because it's not that you want to eradicate proper police practices.

233
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: You must make sure they do them right.

234
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 4: And that is what I have been able to accomplish

235
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 4: in the city, taking over thirteen thousand guns off the

236
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 4: streets of the City.

237
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: Of New York, who the victims of black and brown people.

238
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: When I go to community meetings and talk to community

239
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 4: any residents, they don't tell me, Eric, we don't want

240
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 4: want police, they said, Eric, we want our police doing

241
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 4: their jobs correctly.

242
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: And that is what I'm doing.

243
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 7: The Federal Manitor, the Federal monitor who was tasked with

244
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 7: ensuring that NYPD is following the law, conducted conducted an analysis,

245
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 7: conducted an analysis that having eight years ago, but they're

246
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 7: still hair monitoring what you're doing. And they said that

247
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 7: you have brought back stopping first policies that are worse

248
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 7: than they saw even doing the Bloomberg era. But More importantly,

249
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 7: they analyzed the neighborhood. I could show the report is available,

250
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 7: and I know it's been available to you because your

251
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 7: spokesperson is commented on it. They did an analysis of

252
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 7: over ten percent ten different precincts. There is factual there's

253
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 7: a federal monitor reporting to judged. He swain on it

254
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 7: and present. They said that, yes, listen, let me finish

255
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 7: so you can feel it back. They conducted an analysis

256
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 7: of ten different precincts, and every of the stops of

257
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 7: ten different precincts, they found that ninety seven percent of them,

258
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 7: by the way of the neighborhood safety teams that were

259
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,839
Speaker 7: disbanded in twenty twenty because of their disproportionate abuse against

260
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 7: black and Hispanic people that you revived. They analyzed ten

261
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 7: of those different neighborhood safety teams and found that they're

262
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 7: conductings ninety seven percent of their stops on black and

263
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,479
Speaker 7: brown people, and a quarter of them are on constitutional

264
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 7: That's what the federal monitor said, not me.

265
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 4: And at the same time, let's let's be clear on

266
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: this because what you're what you're given the perception of

267
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 4: this is a federal monitor that came in long before

268
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 4: I was mayor agree.

269
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: Right.

270
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 4: Number two, I have been the mayor for two years

271
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 4: and three months. We've had a tradition of over policing

272
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 4: for generations, and that's now that you're there, that I

273
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 4: fought for. We had issues of over policing for generations

274
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 4: that I fought for.

275
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: We acknowledge what my history is in this place. So

276
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: two years in.

277
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 4: Three months, we are turning around not only over policing,

278
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 4: but we're turning around the crime.

279
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: Because when I came to this city, we had a forty.

280
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 4: Increase in crime, and most of that crime black and

281
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 4: brown communities.

282
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 7: You became mayor after are a global pandemic in which

283
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 7: there was record unemployment, business laws, homelessness. And you're not

284
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 7: drawing that connection. You're making no, no, But what I'm

285
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 7: saying is crime has a crime is connected to what

286
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 7: is happening in the city and the experiences of people.

287
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 7: This is the most expensive city in the world. We

288
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 7: had a global pandemic where business is closed of work.

289
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 7: So if you saw time, it was connected to that,

290
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 7: but also jobs come on. Also, you're saying that you've

291
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 7: turned it around and yb the's abuses, But just last

292
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 7: year we paid out one hundred and fifty million dollars

293
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 7: in settling police misconducts from and I was double the number.

294
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 7: That's double the number and police misconduct since you became married.

295
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 1: You.

296
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 4: I noticed something. I noticed how much passion and commitments

297
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: you have.

298
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 5: It's one of your constituents.

299
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm one of my constituents STUDENTWS. You know

300
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And I grew up in this city.

301
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: I love it.

302
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 4: I noticed, And this is what I hear often of

303
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 4: those who articulate when a person in the blue uniform

304
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 4: commits an inappropriate act, balance that with what we're doing

305
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 4: to take the violence out of our commutes. Because I

306
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 4: know what I hear when I go to these community meetings.

307
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 4: I know what I hear when I go speak to

308
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 4: these mothers who lost their children to violence.

309
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: I know what I hear. You're not even talking about

310
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: that at all.

311
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 7: You know, I was a public defender.

312
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: But that's what you said. That's what you said.

313
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 7: And my original question was about how you relate to that.

314
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 4: You said that New Yorkers don't feel safe. So there

315
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 4: was a poe that came out with last week. Yeah, right, right,

316
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 4: And in that poll that came out by the CBC.

317
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 4: It stated that the priorities of Mayor Adams is moving

318
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 4: the city in the right direction. My priority now, remember

319
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 4: two years, three months, brother, two years three months.

320
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: I inherited a pandemic.

321
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 4: I inherited one hundred and eighty thousand micros and asylum

322
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 4: seekers that can't work, that we have to house them

323
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 4: every day. I inherit You called for a lot of

324
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 4: them too, though no we didn't brother it was a

325
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 4: sanctuary city.

326
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: You told them, okay, let's let's see.

327
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 4: That's why I say, that's why it's important to have

328
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 4: this conversation because sanctuary city and the micasine asylum seekers

329
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 4: are two different issues. Sanctuvy City, if you're undocumented, we

330
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 4: can't turn you over to Ice or authority. Micaels and

331
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 4: asylum seekers were parolled into here. They here legally, they

332
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 4: were parolled into. But what the federal government did and

333
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 4: Governor Abbot did, they said, we're gonna send them up

334
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 4: to Chicago, New York, Boston. And the federal government is saying, Eric,

335
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 4: you can't allow them to work. You gotta give them housing.

336
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 4: You can't stop the buses from coming in, you cannot

337
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 4: turn them over to Ice.

338
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: All of that is illegal. If I do that, were

339
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: breaking law.

340
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 4: So when people look at the Migaans that are here,

341
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 4: we didn't call people to come here. They were sent

342
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 4: here by Governor Abbot, and the failure to secure our

343
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 4: borders is allowing us to continue. And we're not getting

344
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 4: any funny, any money from We got about one hundred

345
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 4: million dollars out of a four billion dollar price tag.

346
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 4: Look at Chicago right now. Look what's happened in Chicago

347
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 4: right now? My brother Mayor Johnson over there, what's happening

348
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 4: with him? Look has happened in Boston. Look what's happening

349
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 4: in Houston, Los Angeles. And then do a comparative analysis

350
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 4: of what's happening on our streets here. Wow, we dealt

351
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 4: with that crisis, turn around our economy, outpacent the state

352
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 4: and reading.

353
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: The math of our young people.

354
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 4: I've been on Rykers Island more than any mayor in

355
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 4: the history of the city, talking with inmates and correction

356
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 4: officers to turn around what's happening.

357
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 7: In twenty twenty two, and there were three deaths back

358
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 7: to Bath because corrections officers left their posts and allowed

359
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 7: it to happen. You went to Rikers to express your

360
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 7: support for the corrections officer to Rikers what I do

361
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 7: want you to do, Adam.

362
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 4: But you keep you keep giving out misinformation. I was

363
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 4: on Rikers Island this week. This week with a group

364
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 4: of twelve young brothers who recommitted themselves to Christ. I

365
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 4: went to see them in the morning.

366
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: We prayed together because they.

367
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 4: Said, this is not the first time you've been here.

368
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 4: You've been here over and over, visiting us, talking to us,

369
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 4: nurturing us. You know, because I know what it's like

370
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 4: to be locked up because I was locked up as

371
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 4: a child, So I know what it's like to be

372
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 4: treated unfairly because I'm dyslexic. When you're doing analysis of

373
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 4: the number of young brothers and sisters who are in

374
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 4: Rikers are in jail, they're dealing with learning disabilities because

375
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 4: it was never given to the support that they have. That's

376
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 4: why I have dyslexia screening, so we could catch people

377
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 4: who are thrown overboard before they get thrown overboard. So

378
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 4: we have a philosophical disagreement.

379
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 7: No, I do, like I'm glad feelings towards.

380
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: Your feelings towards police is different from this.

381
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 7: Is not about my feelings that this is about the

382
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 7: actual statistics that I presented from the federal monitoring about

383
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 7: her statistics. He's a federal monitor. Do you are you

384
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 7: disputing with the federal monitor and the actual and the.

385
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 4: Controller talking about this moment control of brad Lander. Okay, please,

386
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 4: but we're gonna throw people in names on who we

387
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 4: are are independent sources.

388
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: He should not be one of them. Think about this

389
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: federal monitor, the.

390
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 7: One that was independently elected by the people.

391
00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: Of New York.

392
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 4: But I was independent elected also and he and I'm

393
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 4: addressing you, so think about this for my moment. The

394
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 4: federal monitor wants to take over Rykers. Okay, Rykers has

395
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 4: been dysfunctional for generations. I came in decreased violence, putting

396
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 4: real incentive programs for young people there. But I didn't

397
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 4: do it from a distance. I went to Rikers and

398
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 4: walked the halls and talk with inmates. We're doing workshops

399
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 4: and support groups with inmates and find out.

400
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: What do you need to be here.

401
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 4: We instituted real turnaround programs there with the sisters that's

402
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 4: now in the correction officer. I mean that's the Commission

403
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 4: of Corrections there. So I didn't do like other mayors.

404
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 4: I didn't sit back and say, let me just turn

405
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 4: my back on what's rikers. I said to those Rikers

406
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 4: inmates when I got elected, I'm coming here. I'm going

407
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 4: to see what you're going through, and I want to make

408
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 4: sure you leave here better than how you got here

409
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 4: in the first place. And we started instituting programs to

410
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 4: do so. So that same federal monitor go look at

411
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 4: the federal prisons. You that federal monitor wanted to take

412
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 4: over our prisons after I had it only two years

413
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 4: in three months.

414
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: No, they wanted to take over my first year.

415
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 4: Although crime was going violence was going, violence was going down,

416
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 4: and people say, well, ever, you know people are people

417
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 4: are dying on rykers.

418
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: Look at how they died.

419
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 4: People are coming into rykers and terrible medical conditions.

420
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 7: And not getting their medical appointments.

421
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: It's not that they were dying because correction officers were

422
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: killing them. People were coming in with heart problems, but

423
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: overdosing on drugs.

424
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 3: When people a right to feel that, because I know

425
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 3: I got people that are in Rikers right now serving

426
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 3: time and.

427
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 5: They hate it. They think it's discussion.

428
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: Is they're trying to who like sales brother, who.

429
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 7: Likes respectfully, Mary Adams, fundamentally, the things that you were

430
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 7: saying is untrue. You actually cut seventeen million dollars of

431
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 7: are used for classes for people at Rikos Rykers to

432
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 7: re enter society.

433
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: Those were cut in the programs.

434
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 7: Those were cut under your those were cut on your administration.

435
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: We were spending millions of dollars.

436
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 7: Thirty one people have died at Rikers since Eric Adams

437
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 7: mayor millions.

438
00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 4: Of dollars for these professional folks to do these programs,

439
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 4: reinjury programs, millions of dollars, seven people sitting inside the class.

440
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 4: When I came into office, I said, why are we

441
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 4: spending so much money on programs but our people are

442
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 4: still in these bad conditions. People have profetized poverty. That

443
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 4: making so much money off of black and brown people

444
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 4: because it's a lucrative business to come up with all

445
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 4: these different programs, all these different ways.

446
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: And then when you go to them.

447
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 4: And say, let me say the results of the programs

448
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 4: that we're paying you millions of dollars for, and then

449
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 4: you look and see what who's in charge of these programs,

450
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 4: they don't look like us.

451
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 7: Moments ago you said you instituted programs and when I

452
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 7: brought up the fact that you actually cut programs now

453
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 7: your anti program, Okay, thirty one at least at least

454
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 7: thirty one people have died at Wrikers since you became mayor.

455
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 4: That's why I'm for no more program. Fatherless No More.

456
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 4: This was the This was the brother the pastor. Fatherless

457
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 4: No More is called the program, and I would encourage

458
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 4: you to come and check it out. This brother here,

459
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 4: instead of saying, pay me millions of dollars to do

460
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 4: a program to turn around the lives of our young

461
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 4: brothers in Rankers, he doesn't want money. He's committed to

462
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 4: the cause. But you have these professional programs that were

463
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 4: in place.

464
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: And when I went to them and.

465
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 4: Say, show me the results of what you've done in

466
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 4: these programs. Show me what we produce for our millions

467
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 4: of dollars as in many of these programs in the

468
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 4: city that I'm saying, we're no longer paying y'all.

469
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: To just play us year after year.

470
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 4: So Fatherless No More is turning around the lives of

471
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 4: people not being paid millions of dollars for it. If

472
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 4: we're really true to what we said we want to do,

473
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 4: why do we have to pay your millions of dollars

474
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 4: to do it. You know, why don't you come on

475
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 4: rankers like I do and volunteer. Why don't you come

476
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 4: in and really be committed, Because people are not committed

477
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 4: to us. Brother, They've been playing us. You know, this

478
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 4: is a street hustle that have been going on for years,

479
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 4: and people have eaten off of the dysfunctionality of watching

480
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 4: us stay in these permanent states of being.

481
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 6: A lot of people are upset to it.

482
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 2: They feel like the prison reform is bad for New

483
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: York City. They're saying people do crimes, they get out immediately,

484
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: and then they commit the crimes.

485
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 6: We just see an.

486
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 2: Officer that passed away a couple of days ago, rest

487
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 2: in peace to him and always healing energy to his family.

488
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 2: But they say that individual was arrested for a gun

489
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 2: and has a record the size of we don't know what,

490
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 2: And they're saying that people are doing crimes and they're

491
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 2: getting back out. Officers don't want to arrest people. A

492
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: lot of officers don't even want to be officers anymore because

493
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 2: the people that they' arresting get out so fast.

494
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 6: So what do you say to that?

495
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: And brother, let me tell you something. I say this

496
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: term all the time.

497
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 4: Idealism collides with realism, this far leftist mindset that believes

498
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 4: we should not have a criminal justice system in place,

499
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 4: We're gonna look like some of these other cities that

500
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 4: you're seeing with a lack of a criminal justice system

501
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 4: in place. We're losing correction offices. We're losing district attorneys,

502
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 4: we're losing police officers, we're losing probation offices, we're losing

503
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 4: school safety agents. Every piece of our public safety apparatus

504
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 4: that the every day working class person wants, we're seeing

505
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 4: it all of a sudden erode, and we're going to

506
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 4: lose the foundation of our prosperity, and that's public safety.

507
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: So when you look at these cases, we have three.

508
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 4: Problems in this city that if you dig into it,

509
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 4: you'll see how they continue to intersection between each other.

510
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 4: We have one, we have a Recipi thiss problem. It's

511
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 4: a revolving door. Thirty eight people that assaulted transit workers

512
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 4: well were arrested eleven hundred times. Five hundred and forty

513
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 4: five people that were arrested for shoplifting were arrested seventy

514
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 4: five seven thousand, five hundred times.

515
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: The person who.

516
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 4: Shot that police officer, his driver was just arrested for

517
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 4: having a gun in April of last year. Now he's

518
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 4: back doing the same thing all over again. These guys

519
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 4: are arrested ten fifteen times. It's a small population of

520
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 4: people that are repeated offenders.

521
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: The second problem that we have in.

522
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 4: The city is a severe mental health I'm not talking

523
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 4: about just somebody that's the pressed, someone that's going through

524
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 4: a bad day.

525
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a severe mental health problem.

526
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 4: Go look at these cases of assaulting passengers, pushing people

527
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 4: on the subway track, the cat that pushed the person

528
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 4: on the subway tract the other day, in and out

529
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 4: of the system.

530
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: And so when I came.

531
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 4: Into office, I said, we can't keep just walking by

532
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 4: these people that are dealing with severe mental health issues.

533
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 4: We need to give them wrapping around services and care.

534
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 4: The far left pushed against me, You're in humane, you

535
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 4: just want to take people off the streets. No, I said, no,

536
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 4: in this city, people are not gonna live. People are

537
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 4: not gonna live in encampments. They're gonna live in tents.

538
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 4: Go look at Los Angeles, Go look at Oregon, Go

539
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 4: look at all these other cities. When you see tent

540
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 4: city San Francisco, you see tent cities people. When I

541
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 4: went out in January February, when I got elected in

542
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two, I went out without my security team

543
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 4: and started visiting people in intents and encampments and started

544
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 4: talking to them bipolar, schizophrenic, human waste, drug power, fernalia,

545
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 4: stale food.

546
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: They didn't even realize they were in that state. One

547
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: cat was an.

548
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 4: Ex police officer that I spoke with, didn't even realize

549
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 4: started seeing and talking to himself. I said, I'm not

550
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 4: going to do this. My city is not going to

551
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 4: be like San Francisco. It's not going to be like

552
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 4: these other cities where you're watching people living on streets

553
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 4: in tens intents. You don't see that in New York City.

554
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 4: Third problem we have is random, random acts of violence.

555
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 4: Those random acts of violence are being highlighted.

556
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: If you have if you.

557
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 4: Have twenty four hours in a day, and something that

558
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 4: happens to you in an hour and the day you

559
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 4: set to define yourself as that entire day. Those random

560
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 4: acts of violence are plastered on social media. They're plastic,

561
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 4: They're plastered on everything. People begin to believe that Oh,

562
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 4: I'm living in the city that's out of control.

563
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 7: We are not.

564
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 5: She made good people New York.

565
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 3: If NYPD is reposting that kind of stuff, what are

566
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 3: we supposed to think.

567
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 7: A phone brother, No, No, this recently been there somuch

568
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 7: so that they're arguing with journalists on there's IPD on

569
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 7: their own Twitter pages that are posting and sensationalizing crime.

570
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 7: And I said this at the beginning. You said that

571
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 7: there's a difference between perception and reality, how people feel

572
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 7: afraid versus how safe New York actually is. And I

573
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 7: agree with you, but I said that it's your own

574
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 7: rhetoric and NYPD's rhetoric that plays into that, and you

575
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 7: did it just now. Because the reality is a condition

576
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 7: of release for everybody for every crime, whether it be

577
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 7: non bail eligible or bail eligible, is that if you

578
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 7: commit a crime and you're rearrested, that you that you

579
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 7: bail can and will be set on you. So that's

580
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 7: the first thing. Second of all, they have conducted multiple studies,

581
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 7: but the Brendans that are literally just put out one

582
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 7: less than two percent of anybody in New York City

583
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 7: that's released on bail is re arrested for any violent crime.

584
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 7: More importantly, in the same in the same breath that

585
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 7: we want in the same breath that you want to sensationalize,

586
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 7: we want to highlight and point out, Oh, an officer

587
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 7: was killed the other day, which is a rare occurrence

588
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 7: across the United States, but let alone in New York.

589
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 7: New York police officers have killed at least seven people

590
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 7: this year, including a nineteen year old officer kill.

591
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 4: I'm not going to dismiss the loss of the life

592
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 4: of an innocent person that weighs a uniform you.

593
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 7: Of the people, and the nineteen year old.

594
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 4: I feel like I don't want to take you out

595
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 4: of contents, and I do want people to all of

596
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 4: a sudden criticize that you're being dismissive.

597
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: Of a.

598
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 7: It's not going to work on me.

599
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to broak anything on you. I lost

600
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 4: a member of the police department. The same way I

601
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 4: go to see the mother of eleven year old baby

602
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 4: that was eleven month old baby that was shot in

603
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 4: the head. When I first became man, I sat in

604
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 4: the hospital with her.

605
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: The same way I.

606
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 4: Go visit these mothers who lose their children to gun violence.

607
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 4: I go see them just as I go, just as

608
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 4: I go to see the family member of a slain

609
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 4: police officer, I go visit those parents that lose their.

610
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 7: Loved visiting the family that first of all, yesterday and

611
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,199
Speaker 7: I held a writer, I represented her.

612
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: You went to visit You went to visit the family

613
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: members of a slain officer.

614
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 7: Not the slain officer, of course, But what about the

615
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 7: nineteen year old that was killed yesterday by NYPD and

616
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 7: Queen's when he called for help? Have you said anything

617
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 7: about that? Are you visiting them?

618
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 5: The first of all, that's New York safer or not.

619
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, it is New York safer or not.

620
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 4: Okay, we just showed the graph that we that we

621
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 4: put up. Right, there's there's a graph that shows how

622
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 4: many people murders based one hundred thousand people. It shows

623
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 4: a graph each city the large cities in America. New

624
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 4: York is the least. New York is the safest big

625
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 4: city in America.

626
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 3: Should we say crime is down or should we say

627
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 3: it's safe? Because I think it's crime. Saying something is

628
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 3: safe insane?

629
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: Well, random and.

630
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 5: Thirty pounds and I lose thirty I'm still.

631
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: Fat, right, you know?

632
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 4: But random acts, And that's why, that's why, what what

633
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 4: I must do with New York is is give them

634
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 4: the facts, not give them what people are spewing out there.

635
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: The facts facts are clear.

636
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 4: As I've always stated, we are the safest big city

637
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,959
Speaker 4: in America. And as people talk about reporting these the

638
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 4: reports that come out and reporting how things are done,

639
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 4: no one wants to report the fact that everyone is

640
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 4: saying across the globe New York is the safest big

641
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 4: city in America?

642
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 5: Are we trend in the right way?

643
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 7: I think the New York I don't dispute the New

644
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 7: York is safe. What I dispute is how Mayor adams

645
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 7: own rhetoric is the reason why people don't feel safe.

646
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 7: I would reread that New York Is don't feel safe

647
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 7: because of the way the NYPD, the Post, and Mayor

648
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 7: Adams go about sensationalizing prime. And I'm acting you to

649
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 7: talk about it differently and listen.

650
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 4: And you have a right to your opinion and your belief.

651
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 4: We you and not have a philosophical disagreement you.

652
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: That's many. It's not many people on the fall left

653
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: disagree with me.

654
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 4: You know, many people on the far left, they said, Eric,

655
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 4: people should be allowed to sleep on the streets no

656
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 4: matter what. They should be allowed to sit on your

657
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 4: stoop and inject themselves with drugs. They should be allowed

658
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,239
Speaker 4: to go in stores and still whatever they want. They

659
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 4: shouldn't have to pay on the subway system. They should

660
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 4: be allowed to carry a gun and be able to

661
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 4: come out the next day.

662
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 7: Like people disagree with earlier rhetoric. Earlier you asked me

663
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 7: to point out specifically what you say. It's a fair

664
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 7: mongrel about So I just would like to say exhibit

665
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 7: a like what you literally just did. You continue to

666
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 7: say in this that New York is the safest big

667
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 7: city while simultaneously you are the one sensationalizing rights, which.

668
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 5: Is a max.

669
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 4: All I know is when I came in office and

670
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 4: I stated that I wanted to take I'm not allowing

671
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 4: people to sleep in tents on our streets.

672
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna get the care that they deserve.

673
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 7: The far left attack, No, you made it so that

674
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 7: people could be involuntarily committed people.

675
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 4: Yes, listen, if I'm sitting down with you, brother, and

676
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 4: I'm in a tent with you on encampment and I'm

677
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 4: seeing human waste in the corner, I'm seeing stale food,

678
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 4: I'm seeing drug power f nail, and I'm hearing you

679
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 4: talking about you only hear until the spaceship comes to

680
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 4: take you to your next planet.

681
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: You need to be involuntary committed.

682
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 7: Didn't I just say about sensational going to happen?

683
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: This is what I saw. This is what I saw.

684
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 7: Aund because the activists that were actually there at the

685
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 7: encampments you were torn down. You weren't there, but they

686
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 7: were there when they were being arrested.

687
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: People are also upset that they feel like too much

688
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 2: money is going to my rents, and you're cutting too

689
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 2: many programs right, They're saying you're cutting the PREKI. They're

690
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: saying that you're cutting so many different funding.

691
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 1: For the people of this question. Brother.

692
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: So people people are saying, people are feeling like, you know,

693
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 2: they never have money for us, but when as soon

694
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: as migrants come in the country, they find money.

695
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 4: And listen, people have a right to be angry. You

696
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 4: know who's even more angry than they are.

697
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: I am.

698
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 4: I've been to Washington ten times, ten times to talk

699
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 4: about this subject. So people got a right to be

700
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 4: pissed off of what they're doing.

701
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: To New York.

702
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 6: Can we finish that where these like I mean, we cut.

703
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 5: A lot of product.

704
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 2: One day's kids couldn't go to school because migrants to

705
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 2: go over to school.

706
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 4: Now that's not that wasn't that wasn't accurate. Okay, let's

707
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 4: let's let's let's let's first, let's deal with that. We

708
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 4: always utilize our school buildings during the time of crisis.

709
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 4: And if we're saying to ourselves, if there's some amazing

710
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 4: when we had to major fire when I first became

711
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,959
Speaker 4: mayor and we saw that fire in the Bronx, you know,

712
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 4: we had to take a school to take care of

713
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 4: those people who lived in the building. Temporarily, when we

714
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 4: have major storms, we take us school to use. The

715
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 4: temporary schools is part of the resources of the city.

716
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 4: And thank god we had something called remote learning where

717
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 4: people still let young people are still able to go

718
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 4: on to learn. But we can't say we can't say

719
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 4: we can't say that we will use a school building

720
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 4: during an emergency, but we're not going to do it

721
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 4: for children that are migrants.

722
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: And assimum seecrets in public learning and remote worth. Here's

723
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: here's the.

724
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 4: Here are the things that are crucial about the migrant

725
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 4: Asimum secrets that we need to We need to put

726
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 4: the rest that people don't realize. Number One, I don't

727
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 4: have the legal authority to stop the buses from coming in.

728
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 4: That's against law. I don't have the authority to allow

729
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 4: them to work, which they want to do.

730
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: That's against the law. I don't have the authority.

731
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 4: To say I'm not going to house you and give

732
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 4: you three meals a day.

733
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: It's against the law for me do it.

734
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 4: I don't have the authority to deport someone that commits

735
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 4: a crime here in this city and turn them over

736
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 4: the ice. That's against the law. So what we had

737
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 4: to do was figure out how do we house people?

738
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 4: And so some people say, whatever you're giving them morning,

739
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 4: what you've given us. Go to the Hurk centers where

740
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 4: they are the shelters, the restrooms are outside, the showers

741
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 4: are outside. They're sleeping on cots. They get three basic

742
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 4: meals a day. And when I go visit them, they said,

743
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 4: we don't want any of this from you. All we

744
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 4: want to do is have the right to work so

745
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 4: we can provide for ourselves.

746
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 5: And less than thirty days.

747
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 3: Migrants won't be allowed to work for federal guidelines, and

748
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 3: they won't be allowed to be housed in nyc ano

749
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 3: y any wants the where would they go after that?

750
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: They finding a way out.

751
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 4: Of the one hundred and eighty four thousand, sixty percent

752
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 4: of them found their way like many of us have done.

753
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: You notice you don't hear about them the way.

754
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 5: They're gonna get housing in thirty days, though.

755
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: Many of them, we're giving them intense care.

756
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 4: We're not just telling you come here, hang out for

757
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 4: thirty days, and we're not gonna help you know, in.

758
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: Those thirty days, and if you're a young person, you

759
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: get sixty days.

760
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 4: But in those thirty days or sixty days, we're giving

761
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 4: you intense care. We're showing you how to find your

762
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 4: way in our city. We're showing you how to go

763
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 4: about applying for housing, to go about applying for the

764
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 4: services that you need. And some people are saying, we

765
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 4: never wanted to come to New York at all. We

766
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 4: wanted to come to another city, but Governor I said, no,

767
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 4: We're sending you to New York. Think about this for

768
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:17,719
Speaker 4: a moment. We got thousands of Ukrainian migrants, thousands.

769
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: Do you hear about them?

770
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 6: No work, just Mexican and Africans.

771
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: Can you take a work?

772
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 4: They have the right to work, so so we wouldn't

773
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 4: even be having this conversation if we gave them the

774
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 4: authority to work.

775
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: Ain't know the real irony of this.

776
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 4: We need workers, I need lifeguards, I need food service workers.

777
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 4: Many of these micros from violence Venezuela are nurses and

778
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 4: other professionals. I need people to backstretch workers. Other states

779
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 4: are telling me Eric, we will take the micrants and

780
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 4: asylum seekers if they just allowed them to work. We're

781
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 4: not gonna take them and just have them sit around

782
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 4: every day. If they allowed to work, we would take them.

783
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 4: They're national government.

784
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: She agreed with a lot of stuff.

785
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 7: No, I trust you that I she's on that train.

786
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 7: I'm sitting here, may Adam, He's going to be First

787
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 7: of all, I ride the subway every day. I've worked

788
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 7: as a public defender in this city and represented thousands

789
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 7: of people.

790
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 3: Do you think more police make people feel safe, especially

791
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 3: black and brown?

792
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 5: No, they don't know black and brown people.

793
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 4: Yes, brother, I god, I go to I just had

794
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 4: a town hall. I just had a town hall yesterday.

795
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 4: All these black and brown folks inside that town hall.

796
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 4: Number one issue they came up. We want to feel safer.

797
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 4: We want more cops.

798
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 7: Want people want to feel safe. It doesn't mean they

799
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,439
Speaker 7: want more cops. And if they did, New York City

800
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 7: as the most police in the country, want to be

801
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 7: the largest police department in the country. How many want police?

802
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 7: Do you want?

803
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 4: May Adams go do an analysis across the city and

804
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 4: communities of color and ask them, do you want us

805
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 4: to take your police away? Or do you want more police?

806
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 4: I guarantee you you would be lost to find someone.

807
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 5: When you had resources to that list. Do you want

808
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 5: your resources to get the root of these this sho

809
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 5: That's what.

810
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 4: People think about resources we've done. Think about check out

811
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 4: what we've done. Check out what we've done. Advocates the

Speaker 4: been done before in history. Never They've been calling for

815
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 4: investment in Nicha. We putting Nischa as our top program.

816
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 4: When I was doing during COVID, I was knocking on

817
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 4: doors handling our mask to night your residents because the

818
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 4: city refused to do so, and people were saying, why

819
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 4: are you giving masks of those people? When I was

820
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 4: knock on the doors. I would ask the residents, how

821
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 4: are your children doing the school? They said, Eric, we

822
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 4: don't even have high speed broadband. I said, when I

823
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 4: get elected, we're gonna change that. Now nights your residents

824
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 4: all have free high speed broadbands so they children can

825
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 4: have access like other children. We're doing the Nights of

826
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 4: Land Trust. No one was able to do it. We

827
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 4: put more people in affordable housing using the Value Your

828
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 4: system than the history of the program. We've transitioned more

829
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 4: people out of shelter into housing in the in one.

830
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,720
Speaker 1: Year in the history of the city.

831
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 4: When I went to do an analysis with all of

832
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 4: my gang members and I asked them the question, you know,

833
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 4: how many of you haven't learned disabilities? How many of

834
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 4: your dyslexic?

835
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 7: All of your gang?

836
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 8: That's what characterizing with people who you are you with

837
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 8: the gang, No, I mean regularly with people who you

838
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 8: met up with some drug dealers at Burger came.

839
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad you broughte that up. Oh, let me just

840
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: finish this one piece, because this is important.

841
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 4: We noticed when we did the analysis across the country,

842
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 4: not only in New York, across the country, thirty to

843
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 4: forty of the inmates in jail and in prison have

844
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 4: a learning disability.

845
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: So when I sat down, I went the chances.

846
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 4: I said, listen, we can't wait until people thank you,

847
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 4: until people break the law.

848
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: We did dyslexure.

849
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 4: Screening in our schools and we were able to now

850
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 4: catch and give them the wrap around services they need.

851
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 4: So I want to talk about Burger King. So I'm

852
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 4: sitting at home and I look at the paper. They

853
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 4: say there's drug dealers selling drugs and for the Burger King.

854
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 4: So I call up the priests and commander and I said,

855
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 4: what is this man? We're not having open drug markets,

856
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 4: he says, He says, Maya. We did a complete operation

857
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 4: buying bus went to see you know what drugs are

858
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 4: they selling?

859
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: Who's selling drugs? He said, these guys are not selling drugs.

860
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 4: These guys are homeless and they just come to feel

861
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 4: as though they could be around others. So when I

862
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 4: went on Sunday, I went down and did what other

863
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 4: people don't do.

864
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: I spoke with them.

865
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 4: I said, brothers, can we sit down and talk. Let

866
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 4: me find out how you know what's going on in

867
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 4: your life. We sat in Burger King, had a conversation

868
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 4: shop brothers.

869
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 5: They weren't even drug dealing.

870
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 1: No, okay, they were not drug dealers.

871
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 4: They were just homeless brothers that just wanted to be

872
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 4: a place where people they.

873
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: Could communicate among others like.

874
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 4: Other folks do when people have dog parks and people

875
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 4: sit on the steps of a museum.

876
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: And so we sat there and.

877
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 4: Had a conversation and we were able to identify what

878
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 4: services and what I learned from them. You could have

879
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 4: all the services you want, but if people don't know

880
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 4: the entry remp to those services, then what good is it.

881
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 4: So now we're going to devise the program that they're

882
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 4: gonna help me devise on how to reach out to

883
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 4: those services. Then I want those brothers to become recruiters

884
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 4: to go inside the shelters. But you're not gonna do

885
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 4: that if you are afraid to get on the ground

886
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 4: and have these one on one conversations. I've been here, man,

887
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 4: you know. I know what it is to buy a

888
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 4: nickel bag and make a joints so mommy can feed herself.

889
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: I know what it is to run numbers. I know

890
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: what those should do. All those things. So I'm comfortable

891
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: among my folks.

892
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 4: And the problem that a lot of people don't understand

893
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 4: is they don't know how authentic I am about this work.

894
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 4: But they're gonna look back over it and said, we

895
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 4: had a mayor that came from us and delivered for us.

896
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 4: Even the billions of dollars that I'm putting into mwbe's

897
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 4: that we've never had before. People gonna look back over

898
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 4: these years and say, this brother was real about what

899
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 4: he's doing.

900
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 1: Because that's why I'm doing this.

901
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 3: Your people were rapping about. I have two more questions.

902
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 3: How do debit cards.

903
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 5: For migrants compare to New city welfare benefits.

904
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 4: I like that that's a good question because that was

905
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 4: one of the biggest myths. And I think the daily

906
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 4: news you see the piece today of saying why this

907
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 4: makes sense.

908
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 1: So here's what happened. We were paying.

909
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,839
Speaker 4: People because we by lawd we got to feed them

910
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 4: three meals a day.

911
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: We got to feed the migrants three meals a day.

912
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 4: When I told the team we spent we got to

913
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 4: bring down the cost of this by thirty percent because

914
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 4: it was costing us too much money twelve billion dollars

915
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 4: over three years, four billion dollars.

916
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:39,280
Speaker 1: Already.

917
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 4: One of the places was food. We were seeing that

918
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 4: we were having a ten percent food waste. People were

919
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 4: getting food that didn't want and he just card it.

920
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 4: So my team came together First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright,

921
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 4: first black.

922
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: Woman to be a first deputy man.

923
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 4: She came up with a team called Multifi, a MWe

924
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 4: black roduct. They said that we can give people food

925
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 4: cards where they can only purchase food and baby supplies.

926
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: You would save.

927
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,919
Speaker 4: Six hundred thousand dollars a month. In course, people would

928
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 4: buy the food that they want and not giving it to.

929
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: Them from someone from some large conglamorate.

930
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 4: Then they will have to spend the cards in the bodegas,

931
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:24,720
Speaker 4: the supermarkets, the local stores.

932
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: So the money stays inside.

933
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 4: The community and the program is run by a person

934
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 4: of a person of color. With saving over seven million

935
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 4: dollars a year, where no more food waste, could people

936
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,280
Speaker 4: a buying what they want. It's a black owned company,

937
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 4: so we put money back into a black businesses like

938
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 4: I said I was going to do, and you cannot

939
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 4: buy anything but food or baby supplies. It's a complete win.

940
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 4: But people heard it and it was sensationalized. Oh you're

941
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 4: giving money to Mike. They only get thirteen dollars a

942
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 4: day for them three meals.

943
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 5: It's a winning program.

944
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 7: It's not that I have a problem it said again,

945
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 7: the sensationalism has a lot to do with the fact

946
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 7: that you got up and declared that we have this

947
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 7: migrant crisis. And I thought it was interesting your earlier

948
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,839
Speaker 7: point about the difference between how Ukrainian migrants are being

949
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 7: received versus migrants Black and Latino migrants, because again, you

950
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 7: gave a town hall where you were the one who

951
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 7: gave this speech and incent like you incentivized New Yorkers

952
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 7: to feel this way, feel which way, Just feel like

953
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,120
Speaker 7: there is a migrant crisis where the migrants are being

954
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 7: treated differently than them, where they're getting resources, that the

955
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 7: migrants are getting resources that are not being given to them,

956
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 7: because you were the one who presented it to the

957
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 7: city that you had to cut budgets across because of

958
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 7: the migrant crisis, even though recently you decided that you

959
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 7: all actually do have the money to handle the migrant issue,

960
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 7: that just wasn't publicized as much. So this goes back

961
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 7: to my originals discussion.

962
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 4: So you an attorney and you I'm amazed, I think

963
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 4: your art is I'm just going to throw it out

964
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 4: there and make people.

965
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 7: Finish before you say there's an entire council, council that

966
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 7: knows your left.

967
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean, let me let me. We still don't have

968
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: the money for the migrants. We spent it.

969
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 4: Twelve billion dollars in three years, all billion dollars already.

970
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 4: What I said to New York is at that town hall,

971
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 4: this issue will bankrupt will destroy our city.

972
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: This issue.

973
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 7: You called specific countries. I remember you calling the countries.

974
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 7: They weren't any I migrants. You weren't talking about them.

975
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 5: So what happens when.

976
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 4: We don't have sister, I did not call the countries

977
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 4: what they were front from.

978
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 7: I went to the video, I went to Mary Adam.

979
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 4: I went to Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico to get a full

980
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 4: understanding of the flow. I went to the southern border,

981
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 4: just as I went to those brothers in Burker King,

982
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 4: I went to the southern border to understand the problem.

983
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 7: I remember you started that tour before you were going

984
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 7: to go to go d C. And when you were

985
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 7: going to go to d C to Biden to talk

986
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 7: to Joe Biden about the migrant crisis. But you were

987
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 7: stopped because they had the FBI had to take your phones.

988
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 1: Could lords you just make up stuff and.

989
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 7: Didn't make that up? That's reported that I didn't see

990
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 7: your phone. Yeah, I didn't see your phones. No, they

991
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 7: didn't investigate. That's not happening.

992
00:42:58,719 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 5: What did you just say?

993
00:42:59,840 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 8: You?

994
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 7: I said, I remember that you went on when you

995
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 7: were going to the border, when you when I come back.

996
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 8: I came back because somebody had to take because it stopped.

997
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 7: I said, I remember on the day up, I remember

998
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 7: it because you got you got amnesia and the media.

999
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 4: This is this is important, This is important. I want

1000
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 4: you to understand. I want you to understand the hypocrisy

1001
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:26,760
Speaker 4: of people. When the law enforcement does something every day,

1002
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 4: it's bad.

1003
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 1: But when they do something against Eric Adams, Oh it's good.

1004
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 7: I said, what happened. I didn't say that it was good.

1005
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 7: I don't think I get for a legal campaigns.

1006
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 4: I don't think that's I came back because of not

1007
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 4: that they had to take my phones.

1008
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: That is that is not true.

1009
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 7: And you I said it happened that day.

1010
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: No, it did not happen that day.

1011
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 7: I said, it was reported before you were going where

1012
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 7: your phone? Did they search your tompa day? Did they

1013
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,439
Speaker 7: search the home of some for several people. Okay, yes,

1014
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 7: that's what I said. And I didn't say that was

1015
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 7: a good thing. I don't think it's good that.

1016
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 3: So what happens when New York City doesn't have the

1017
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 3: money for migrants and then you know the migrants are

1018
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 3: in this city and they probably have to do what

1019
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 3: most poor people have to do, which is sometimes resort

1020
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 3: the crime.

1021
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 5: How is that gonna make the city say?

1022
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 7: Right?

1023
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: Right? And that's and that's part of the problem.

1024
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 4: Imagine having a group of people eighteen to twenty four

1025
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 4: years old, and it's being told you can't do anything

1026
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 4: all day when you go when you go to these

1027
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 4: hurks and you're seeing these young people, and I walk

1028
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 4: in and I talk with them, some of them coming

1029
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 4: from West Africa, South America, Central America. All they saying is, man,

1030
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 4: we just want to work. We don't want to sit

1031
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 4: around here all day and not do anything. That is

1032
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 4: why the real focus should be on our national government.

1033
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 4: That's saying, why you're doing this to New York While

1034
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 4: you check out what they're doing. They're doing it to

1035
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 4: New York, They're doing it to Chicago, they're doing it

1036
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 4: to Los Angeles, they're doing it to Houston. What is

1037
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 4: the same in all those cities, all black mans, all

1038
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 4: black mens. And so we're saying same thing that I'm

1039
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 4: going through here. My brother Johnson is going through, my

1040
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,959
Speaker 4: sister Bass is going through, my brother Turner is going through.

1041
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,720
Speaker 4: So our folks are what they wanted to happen, Governor

1042
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:18,720
Speaker 4: Appy wanted to happen.

1043
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna turn these of cities against their mayors.

1044
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 4: We're gonna create this environment where they're all going to

1045
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 4: go against their mayors. Go google what they doing to

1046
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 4: my brother in Chicago, Go google what they doing to

1047
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 4: sister Bass. So the cities have now turned against these

1048
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 4: black mayors that are making real change for the first time.

1049
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 4: And and they're using this to say, Okay, these black

1050
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 4: mans are not competent. They can't run their cities. They're

1051
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 4: getting everything to the miners and asimum seekers. This was

1052
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 4: a perfectly executed plan that we are buying into mans

1053
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 4: look better exactly, and when when we're doing just the opposite,

1054
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 4: we we.

1055
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: I inherited a city that was in this array.

1056
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 4: This array, you know, and no matter how much you

1057
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 4: do your analysis, you gotta walk away with this. Brother

1058
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 4: got more private sector jobs in the history of the city.

1059
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 4: We reached that point, this brother had his bond rated

1060
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 4: increased forty percent, increasing crime, and I came in with now,

1061
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 4: drop those crimes, thirteen thousand guns. We moved off our city,

1062
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 4: outpacing the state and reading and writing for our children

1063
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 4: in the public school school system. Sixty two million tourists

1064
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 4: are back here. More housing vouchers. You go down the list,

1065
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 4: invest in Nintu. You go down the list. You're seeing

1066
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,319
Speaker 4: a brother that managed the city that people said was unmanageable, and.

1067
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: We did it in two years, in three months.

1068
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:41,479
Speaker 5: It's my last question.

1069
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 3: Do you believe the Biden administration's border policies have fueled

1070
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,280
Speaker 3: the worst border crisis in US history?

1071
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 4: In New York you said New York history, or in

1072
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 4: American American history New York. I think it definitely impacts us,

1073
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 4: But I think it's an accumulation of what the White

1074
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 4: House is failing to do, and the Republican led Congresses

1075
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 4: failing to do, and other administrations. People don't want to

1076
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 4: deal with the fact that we need real immigration reform. Now,

1077
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 4: let me tell you what this shit looked like. Do

1078
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 4: you know right here in our country where we are

1079
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,280
Speaker 4: decreasing in population in many cities. We're hurting for people

1080
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 4: in many cities. When people come across the border, the

1081
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,720
Speaker 4: national government to say, you're gonna go to this city

1082
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 4: where we need populations, stay there for three years, and

1083
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 4: then you could go anywhere you want in the country.

1084
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 4: We need to use this crisis as an opportunity. Our

1085
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 4: cities are hurting. In Kentucky, they're hurting for backstretch workers

1086
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 4: in the racing industry. We should be saying you want

1087
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 4: to come here, You're gonna go to Kentucky. You're gonna

1088
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 4: say for three years, you're gonna learn how to be

1089
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 4: in the country and work. That's how we should do

1090
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 4: it instead of just saying go whatever you want and

1091
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 4: allowing this to be politicized by the by the governor

1092
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 4: of Texas and saying we're gonna now, we're gonna hurt Chicago,

1093
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 4: hurt New York, hurt Los Angeles, hurt Philadelphia. We just

1094
00:47:56,719 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 4: got a sister who's there, was the elected. The day

1095
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,080
