All right, Well, let's get. 35 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: To some real topics now, because I saw you endorsing 36 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, so of course, you know, first and foremost, 37 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: we have to discuss that. Was that a surprise to 38 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 1: you at all? Because I know they kept saying Biden 39 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: was going to drop out. 40 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 5: Yes, And you know, we should really take our hat off, 41 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 5: because when you reach that level and you're finishing the half, 42 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:39,639 Speaker 5: it takes a lot. 43 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 2: To say I'm going to step away. 44 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 5: And he's just a real true American when you look 45 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 5: at the tragedies that he has gone through, the loss 46 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 5: of family members and loved ones to still serve the 47 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 5: country and then make the decisions that for the good 48 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 5: of the country he. 49 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: Decided to step aside. 50 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 5: And then you know, we should understand its infican of 51 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 5: having VP Harris, you know, because a lot of people 52 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 5: get mixed up. Politics is substantive and it's symbolic. Yes, 53 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 5: we have to make sure the trains run on time, 54 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 5: but what symbols are we putting in place? Like Barack 55 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 5: Obama just just opened the door for all of us. 56 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 5: And now you have a an African American woman with 57 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 5: Indian heritage. Uh, you know, you're just going to see 58 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 5: this energy, you know. And she's a. 59 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,119 Speaker 2: Soro you know, like, wait till you see. 60 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: They already brought out all the hotels and. 61 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, they are, so the whole divine. 62 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 6: Nine, it's gonna be gon, be serious. 63 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 2: So this is significant. 64 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 6: And she went to HBC you too, think about it. 65 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 5: Think about it, and that that says so much that 66 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 5: because you know, people want to act like our HBC 67 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 5: using it is an inferior product. And so when you 68 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 5: have now the president of the United States, the most 69 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 5: powerful country in the globe, it. 70 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 2: Just sends this. So the stock goes up for HBCU. 71 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 5: We produce presidents and so I'm excited about it. And 72 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 5: trust me, she knows how to turn on the sister girl, 73 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 5: and she knows how to you know, to deal with 74 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 5: that whole corporate entity. You know, she is a solid, 75 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 5: solid of debater. And in twenty twenty, when she ran 76 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 5: for president. I endorsed her. 77 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 4: Oh wow, right, so this feels good, right right? 78 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 6: I told you so. 79 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 5: Everybody in the prime mayby that was there, I said, no, 80 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 5: this is this is the one that we need to 81 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 5: be going with. 82 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 3: You know. 83 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: It's interesting because people will say as a VP, and 84 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: I've seen people say this, she wasn't present, she wasn't 85 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: doing anything. And I just want you, as a person 86 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: who is in the space of politics, to discuss or 87 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: to dispel that, because a lot goes on behind the scenes, 88 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: but it's not really supposed to be the VP in 89 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: front of the cameras all the time. 90 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: Without a doubt. 91 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 5: And what you don't want to do as a VP 92 00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 5: is overshadowed the president, you know. So there's a real balance. 93 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 5: And like my dms, all of my deputy mayors, they say, listen, 94 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 5: Rick is the man. We're going to be here to 95 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 5: take the orders and move the ball down the field 96 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 5: and come up with ideas, but you don't want to 97 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:12,839 Speaker 5: as a VP. 98 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 2: Is a delicate balance. 99 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 5: You know, you don't want to overshadow the president, but 100 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 5: you need to be there to put the pieces in places. 101 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 5: She has done that, and some of the criticism is 102 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 5: like come on, give me a break. 103 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 2: Well, you know, I don't like the way she laughed. 104 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: I don't like the want. 105 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 4: That's ridiculous. 106 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: They'll be like, she has a white husband.

What they did, What 173 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 5: people are doing is a bait and switch. They know 174 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 5: that the term solitary confinement hits at our emotion, so 175 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 5: they're calling what they attempted to do in solitary confinement. 176 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: Y'all know what. 177 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 5: There is no solitary confinement. What there is called punitive segregation. 178 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 5: And I don't care if it's in a cell or 179 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 5: give somebody a whole room. If if you assault, slash 180 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 5: someone in the face on the street, what do we do. 181 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: We arrest you, We take you out of general population. 182 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 5: If you slash someone in jail, people are saying, let 183 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 5: them stay in the population of the prisoners eighty percent 184 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 5: over eighty percent of the prisoners who are people who 185 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 5: are assaulting on Rank Island, other prisoners, other prisoners are saying, yo, 186 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 5: get here. 187 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 2: May is my kid now. 188 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: I talk to somebody who was locked up and he 189 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: told me he was like, the problem in jail is 190 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: that there are people who are really violent who do 191 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 1: think they. 192 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 4: Can't be around. 193 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: But so punitive segregation is what it is. But it's 194 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: not the same as solitary. 195 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 6: What's the difference. 196 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: Besides what's the solitary confinement. 197 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 5: You're placing someone in a small cell by themselves, not 198 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 5: allowing them interaction, and not letting them out of the cells. 199 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 5: It's inhumane to do. It plays on your psyche. It 200 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 5: could really cause real mental health issues. So you move 201 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 5: someone in punitive segregation, you're taking them out of general 202 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 5: population because again they are assaulting of the inmates. I 203 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 5: when you talk to other inmates, they tell you this 204 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 5: guy is off the charge. So that what they want 205 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 5: to propose two dangerous parts of this that even the 206 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 5: monitor saying is dangerous. They want to propose someone slashes someone, 207 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 5: they stay in that population. 208 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: They stay in general population. That's just say yea. 209 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 5: The second thing they want to propose is that when 210 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 5: correction officers, who are predominantly black and Hispanic, almost forty 211 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 5: something percent are women. They're saying when they transport large 212 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 5: number of prisoners down to court that they can't restrain them. 213 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 5: They can sit there without any restraints at all. You 214 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 5: will never transport a prisoner in the back of a police. 215 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 2: Car without putting handcuffs on them. 216 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 5: So how are we say into these black and brown 217 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 5: officers that you're gonna tru transf for twelve thirteen fourteen 218 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 5: people in a bus to court, and you cannot be 219 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 5: restrained while you're going to court. People have beef up there. 220 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 5: They want to attack other prisoners. It's a public safety issue. 221 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 5: So the ideal that they had was real there. But 222 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 5: idealism collides with realism when you have to hand it out. 223 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 5: It's a special monitor that's in charge of correction. They 224 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 5: wrote a letter say this is dangerous. You can't do this, 225 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 5: you know, so we can do it in a humane way, 226 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 5: but we need to do it right. 227 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: And city council and you guys, you have been butting 228 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: heads with city council, and so I want to get 229 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: into that a little bit. I was looking at something 230 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: that Tosa posted also today and that was about advice 231 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: and consents, right, So can you explain to us what 232 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: advice and consent is and what's going on with Eric 233 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: Adams versus city council because it feels like they say 234 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: you override things and then they override you. 235 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 4: So I want you to talk about that. 236 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 5: That's so important, Speaker, Agent Adams, my high school classmate 237 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 5: is the first African American woman to be the speaker. 238 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 5: I'm the second African American mayor. We are both in 239 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 5: power at the same time. Unprecedented never has to happen 240 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 5: before in the history of the city. And we had 241 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 5: unprecedented crises, COVID two hundred and seven thousand migrants and 242 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 5: asylum seekers, a seven point one billion dollar deficit in 243 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 5: our budget. 244 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: When you look at what we have accomplished, it's remarkable. 245 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 5: And ninety six percent of the things that we come 246 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 5: up against we agree on what we have done around libraries, 247 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 5: cultural institutions, et cetera.

So they 252 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 5: are trying to feed Oh look at them.

But I 387 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 1: do want to stress the importance of shutting those shops 388 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,719 Speaker 1: down because guess what, you don't know what's in that 389 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: weed when you're going to these shops. So discuss that initiative, 390 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: because it is certainly a problem. And how are you 391 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: supposed to know if a shop that you're going to 392 00:17:59,160 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: is illegal? 393 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 2: Right?

So everybody started opening shops, and you're right, 397 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 5: about three thousand open. And we went back to Aubany 398 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 5: two years in the rug. Hats up to Assembly women 399 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 5: Jennifer Raj Kamar who really pushed this smoke out of 400 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 5: legislation to say we got to close these shops. And 401 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 5: they gave us the power of now combining our sheriffs, 402 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 5: who had the job only for the most part, with 403 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 5: police department. By deputizing them now it's allowing us to 404 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 5: really go and do some closing. 405 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 2: We close over seven hundred and what we're finding now. 406 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 5: The community is giving us a lot of tips like 407 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 5: we were able to We found five to ten million 408 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 5: dollars over the weekend see Saturday. 409 00:18:50,960 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 7: Night, you know, and that's a good idea. 410 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 2: To turnover whatever proceeds. That's a good idea. 411 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 5: You know that if you if you've identified the place, 412 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 5: because you're right, this stuff is lace with any and 413 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 5: everything and it's really impacting our children.

So we close seven hundred. We're really 416 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 5: finding our groove now and closing. We're going to really 417 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 5: shut down these shops. And you know what's happening, you're 418 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 5: setting an increase in the profits from the legal shops 419 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 5: that now they no longer have to compete with the 420 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 5: illegal shops.

But I will say 598 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: I do see businesses having issues with people stealing and 599 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:54,880 Speaker 1: everything getting locked up, and what. 600 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 4: Do we do about that? 601 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,199 Speaker 1: Because that's really tough for some businesses that even have 602 00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:58,919 Speaker 1: had to close. 603 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,199 Speaker 5: A tough issue, a national crisis that we're facing with shoplifting. 604 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 5: All of my mayors across the country is telling me 605 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 5: about the same thing. It's the recidivism. We have five 606 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 5: hundred and forty two people that they have been arrested 607 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 5: seventy six hundred times. They have become too comfortable with 608 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 5: going in stealing items. We've partnered with with a lot 609 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 5: of our businesses. We started a pilot in Harlem where 610 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 5: folks are connecting cameras right to the pre censor. We 611 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 5: could identify them. But it's a real recidivism recidivism problem. 612 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 5: People are stealing over and over and over again over again. 613 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 5: Now I think it's an indictment or society when you 614 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 5: have to lock up your razor blazers. 615 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. Sometimes I'd be like just forgetting. 616 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 6: I hadn't stand all because there's something else. 617 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 3: Ione, can you come with me to the next time 618 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 3: somebody to come. 619 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 6: It's usually like and. 620 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: You can't even do self check out in some places 621 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: anymore because people are stealing. 622 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 623 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 5: No, shoplifting is a real issue and it hurts the 624 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 5: business and it hurts people when they close down. We 625 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 5: lose employees and then miss zones have to get on 626 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 5: the bus to go get up medicine. You know, an 627 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 5: elder was telling me in Harlem. She says, I should 628 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 5: be able to walk right down the block to my drugstore. 629 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 5: Now have to take a bus ride to my location. 630 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 5: And so there's a lot of people that say, well, 631 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 5: you're criminalizing the poor of when you're wrestling for shoplifting. 632 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 2: Now, I'm not trying to buy that. You're criminalizing those. 633 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 5: Who are being laid off or lose their jobs, or 634 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 5: my seniors who have to travel far. You know, you 635 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 5: should not be going to being repeated shoplifters. If there 636 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 5: are things you need their mechanisms to get those things. 637 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 5: And so it's a real problem for small businesses and 638 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 5: it hurts their bottom line. 639 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 4: Yeah. 640 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know, I tad Jasmine on the train the 641 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: other day to come to work. We took the train 642 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: hair and back because you know, I live two blocks 643 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: in the train, and sometimes it's just easier. But now 644 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: I want to talk about what's being implemented, because I 645 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: feel like people discuss the New York City subway like 646 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: it is the worst thing. 647 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 4: It's dangerous right right now. We did have to hear 648 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 4: a couple of sermons on the chain. 649 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: We had a concert saying the drums going and everything. 650 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like we've somebody asked me for my 651 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 3: phone number.

We 660 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 5: have four point one million daily riders, four point one million. 661 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,959 Speaker 5: We have an average of five felonies a day on 662 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 5: the train. With four point one million, we have less 663 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 5: robberies on our subway system.

You see them and they begin to define. 670 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 5: Then you read the stories, you believe that that's the reality. 671 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 5: So we're getting ready to do a whole program called Scout, 672 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 5: and we're going to really give people the help they 673 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 5: need because listen, if you're yelling at yourself unkept walking 674 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 5: the cold with no shoes on, you need help for sure. 675 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,479 Speaker 5: And we have subscribed to this theory in this city 676 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 5: that just ignore them, act that we don't see them. 677 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 2: And our administration said no. 678 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 5: We moved over seventy seventy six hundred people of our 679 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 5: subway system and brought them in care.
