So we wanted to make sure we had 11 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 1: you because Liezeldon's been up here already. Man.

I'm a Bills fan 17 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: there this year? Why do you like the Bills so much? 18 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: So every year I pick a different team. This year 19 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: I picked the Bills because I felt like they had 20 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: a good chance of possibly going to the Super Bowl. 21 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: Just swing voter and I'll take a swing voter. I 22 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: respect for that. I'll take a fair weather fan any day. 23 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: With the team, you can't name one one player, Just 24 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: say Josh Allen. You're fine, Say Josh Allen. You told 25 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: an interesting story before the mikes came on about Les 26 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 1: Eldon at the debates. Yeah, it's interesting. I just you know, 27 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: you're talking about the size of the chairs and the 28 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: height and all that stuff. I said, I'm a little shorter. 29 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: We had a little platform built for us at the debate. 30 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: Give me a little so I could reach the microphone, 31 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, just in some reason, my opponent 32 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: decided he needs to have the platform built as well. 33 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: So I just whatever that's all about. Very much that 34 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: much taller, It's all right, Yeah, it feeds in. It 35 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: kind of feeds into like the intimidation factor that we 36 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: saw Trump do against Hillary Clinton in the debate. You know, 37 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: it's a nice effort, but nobody intimidates me. Hey, yeah, 38 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm a street fighter from Buffalo. It's burning on it. 39 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: What I what I say is that's all right. I 40 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: love campaigning. By the way, how did you become governor 41 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: of New York? For most people that do you know 42 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: what happened in August. Let me take you back, Let 43 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: me take you back, don't know, but listen, you would 44 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: be the first elected woman. Okay, yeah, if if after 45 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: this election, you know, when you win, you would be 46 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: the first woman elected governor. That that's a huge deal. 47 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: But you are a governor now because of Cuomo and 48 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: everything that happened with it. Because I was lieutenant governor 49 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: for eight years. That's why I know the state. I 50 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: know all the boroughs, I know all the great restaurants, 51 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: I know all the neighborhoods. I have been everywhere for 52 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: three years. But when your lieutenant governor, you're number two, 53 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: you know, it's not exactly the most high profile position, right. 54 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: You probably couldn't name my lieutenant governor, now, can you. 55 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: And it's Antonio Delgado? Okay, all right, So it's Antonio Delgado. 56 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: And he's fabulous. He's a member of Congress. Became our 57 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: lieutenant I was lieutenant governor for eight years. Before that, 58 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: I was a member of Congress from upstate New York. 59 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: So I became the governor. When a governor REases, lieutenant 60 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: governor takes over. So I've been on the job fourteen 61 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: months and so but I could step right in because 62 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: I knew the job, I knew the state, I knew 63 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: the issues, and I've been working on them for many, 64 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: many years. So the transition, a lot of people say, 65 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: my god, what a tough time. You know, hurricane and 66 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: pandemic and shooting in Buffalo and all these things you've 67 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: had overcome. I can handle it because I've had to 68 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: overcome so much throughout my life. Did you have the 69 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: intention of running for governor even before that happened. No, 70 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: I didn't see this coming. No, I really didn't. You know, 71 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: I've been blessed to have so many opportunities to serve 72 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: at different levels. I represented a very conservative district in Congress. 73 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: I didn't last long because I wouldn't go against President 74 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: Obama's healthcare plan. I lost my election on that issue. 75 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: I would do it all over again. You know, sometimes 76 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: you have to stand up for people and if they 77 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: don't appreciate it at the time. So I never saw 78 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: this coming, but I've always been ready. That's my key 79 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: to success. You just got to be ready for that 80 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: if it happens. So the people of confidence that the 81 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: state's in good hands, and that's what we've done for 82 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: the last year. It's just manage crisis after crisis after crisis, 83 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: but you dial back the drama, you start working with people. 84 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: First time a governor in New York has worked with 85 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: the mayor of New York in a long time. And 86 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: look at the results. We're collaborating, we're working as a team, 87 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: and people just want to know that there's people in 88 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: charge who have their back. We're out there fighting for them, 89 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: and that's simple. I'm a New Yorker and one of 90 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: the main things right now with this election that everybody's 91 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: talking about is cash lest Bill. Now, Liezelden is saying 92 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: he would get rid of cash lest Bill if he's elected. 93 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: I want to know what your thoughts are on that 94 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: because we've you know, we've been talking about this a lot, 95 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of misinformation about Bill and cast 96 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: lest Bill and people going back in the streets and 97 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: crime in New York. So I want to get your 98 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: position because I think crime in New York is such 99 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: a huge issue right now. It's a huge issue, is right. 100 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: This is my number one issue. I've been working on this, 101 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: not because it's a campaign time, but since I became 102 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: governor a year ago, and I can walk you through 103 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: what we've done on getting eight thousand illegal guns off 104 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: the streets. I mean, there's no legal guns being made here. 105 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: They're all legal coming in from another state. So I 106 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: took our state police and said, you can be out 107 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: there giving out speeding tickets, or I can get you 108 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: on the borders stopping the flow of illegal guns. And 109 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: so we focused on a lot of ways. We've made 110 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: a difference on the murders and shootings, but to bail 111 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: issue is important and I'm really grateful to have the 112 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: chance to explain it. A number of years ago, the 113 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: decision was made by my predecessor in the legislature that 114 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: there's a situation where two people accused of the same offense, 115 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: they both steal a backpack, go before a judge. One's 116 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: family has money, he gets bailed out, he goes back 117 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: to his job, he goes back to school, he's fine, 118 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: shows up in court later, and everything's good. A person 119 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: whose family does not have the money, or they don't 120 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: have the money themselves to post bail, they end up 121 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: in rikers for a low level offense. Doesn't harm anybody, right, 122 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,559 Speaker 1: So that was the injustice that was the premise behind 123 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: the original bill changes back in twenty eight twenty nineteen. 124 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: What happened, though, is not just the low level case 125 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: of other cases. Other crimes were being swept under the changes, 126 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: cases with guns loaded or unloaded, cases where there's repeat offenders, 127 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: people keep going in at the same store day after 128 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: day after day after day and clearing the shelves and 129 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: harm to other people, violations of orders or protection. So 130 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: I became the governor watching the crime rate, watching what's 131 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: going on, not blaming those changes, but saying there's some 132 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: loopholes that we need to close, we need to bring 133 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: some of this back under. And I fought hard for that, 134 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: and I took a lot of grief for that, because 135 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: I knew in my heart it was the right thing 136 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: to do, but I had to win people over. I 137 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: did it in our budget, got those changes done. They've 138 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: only been in effect a few months, so they haven't 139 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: had a chance to work. But I need the whole 140 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: system to work. What people don't realize is that for 141 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: two straight years there were no criminal trials, no jury 142 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: trials because of COVID. They wouldn't meet because they didn't 143 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: want to have jurors sitting that close to each other. 144 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: So we have a huge backlog of cases in the 145 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: court system. I also need the judges to do the 146 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: right thing, the district attorneys to do the right thing, 147 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: and the whole system to work together and telling people 148 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: were still the safest big city in America doesn't feel 149 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: like it. I understand that to my core, I understand 150 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: the anxiety and going into the subway with Mayor Adams 151 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: a couple of weekends ago. It was not my first time. 152 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: He was newly sworn in January sixth last year. Earlier 153 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: this year, we went to the subways and talked about 154 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: the fear and the subways, protecting people, getting more police, 155 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: getting cameras, so someone's gonna do something wrong, we're gonna 156 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: catch you on camera and you'll be brought to justice. 157 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: You can't hurt somebody else on a subway. And also 158 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: the people who are severely mentally ill. Severally mentally people 159 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: should not be on the subway because they can have 160 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: an episode and I pushed somebody on a track and 161 00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: there's a tragedy. So we call it working on tops, 162 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: cameras and care. We've been doing this from the beginning. 163 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: This is not a new issue to me, so it 164 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: is very disingenuous for someone to command the show and 165 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: say changing the bail laws is going to make the difference. 166 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: We made changes, Let's see how they work. I'm always 167 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: willing to make changes if necessary. I'm flexible. But we 168 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: have a nationwide crime spike. You can't blame the New 169 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: York State bail laws on that. I was gonna ask, 170 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: you know, with police officers leaving large at large numbers right, 171 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: they're retiring, they're quitting, they don't want to do it. 172 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: They're saying a lot of it is due to the 173 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: bail reforms. They're arresting people and with ours they come 174 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: right back out and then they do the same crime 175 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: over and it's not, like you said, small level crimes. 176 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: And that's making a lot of cops and people scared 177 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: where they don't want to go to work anymore because 178 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: they're like they feel like their work is for nothing. 179 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: And that's exactly the change we made when I talked 180 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: about repeat offenders. I can understand the frustration the police 181 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: officers and the business person who's just been robbed wants 182 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: some justice and nothing happens because they get people get 183 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: cycled through over and over again. That's how it was 184 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: but as part of the budget that I got through, 185 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: and again the budgets, when the governor has the most power, 186 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: you know, that's when I can put things in there 187 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: that others may not be real excited about. But that's 188 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: when I can use the leverage of the budget. That's 189 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: what I use. That's why our budget was nine days late. 190 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: I said, I'm not leaving here until we deal with 191 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: this repeat offender issue and some of these other issues. 192 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: So now the law says that if it's a repeat offender, 193 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: you have the ability judge to consider bail. Now, again, 194 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: that's still the discretion of the judge. A judge can 195 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: still come up with a different decision. I can't control that. 196 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: I don't elect the judge here. But that's where the 197 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: system is starting to pull back together. Everybody does their parts. 198 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: Isn't that still the same problem. If somebody can afford 199 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: to get out on bail, right, and the judge gives 200 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: you a bail, then the people who have money will 201 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: still be able to get out, and the people who 202 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: don't have money won't. Judge also has the discretion to 203 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,599 Speaker 1: remand as well, in cases he can look at is 204 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: it bail eligible, which does he want to set it 205 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: so high he knows the person's not going to make 206 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: us so they will be helped, or does he just 207 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: want to simply remand them and hold them. And that's 208 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: where the whole system has to work together. It's many parts. 209 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: It's so simplistic. Did it say you have fire one 210 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: district attorney and change bail and then everything's all wonderful again. 211 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: I hope both voters aren't buying that. I hope they 212 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: are not buying that. That is so disingenuous, so unfair. 213 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: It's a lie. It's a lie that's not going to 214 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: change things. And for someone Lee Zelden, who says he's 215 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 1: tough on crime but is soft on guns, ask him 216 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: whether or not he voted in Washington for the most 217 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: significant anti gun legislation that made sure that there was 218 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: background checks and other reforms, the most significant legislation in 219 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 1: Washington in thirty years. He wouldn't even vote for it. 220 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: He didn't vote to fund police in Washing, He didn't 221 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: bother to show up to vote. I tripled the amount 222 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: of money going for law enforcement as well as our 223 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: violence disruptor groups, the people who've been in the system 224 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: who come out and work with the clergy and the 225 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: community leaders to try and get young people to be 226 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: on a different path so they don't feel the only 227 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: family they're going to have is in a gang. I 228 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: have invested money, resources, change laws, and worked on getting 229 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: illegal guns off the streets, and Lee Zelden doesn't even 230 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 1: bother to show up to support our police. People need 231 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: to know that, and this is really frightening. He opposes 232 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: our efforts to keep concealed weapons off the subways and 233 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: out of churches and synagogues and schools. And in fact, 234 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: he even said this weekend teachers, he said teachers should 235 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: have guns. Think about this. Let's say a school has 236 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: a metal detector. Okay, someone says, well, I've been radicalized online, 237 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: like the white supremacists who massacred my neighbors up in Buffalo. 238 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: You get more people like that. They want to become famous. 239 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go shoot up a classroom. I don't 240 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: have to worry about getting past the metal detector because 241 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: I know there's a loaded gun in a classroom. I 242 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: can just go take that gun from the teachers, like 243 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: you've just told me that every teacher is going to 244 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: have a gun. That's a hell of a hypotheticod all 245 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: right to say that the student can fight a teacher 246 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: and take the gun. You don't think of an adult 247 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: could come in, or another eighteen year old, a twenty 248 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: year olds. Most of the shooters or eighteen they're mostly 249 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: they're mostly eighteen year olds. Yeah, I'm a person who 250 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: believes you those schools should have the same type of 251 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: security as the airport. Like so, I believe that this 252 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: should be metal detectives. I believe that this should be 253 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: you know, armed guards, just like there is at the airport. 254 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: So if it's if it's not that, what do you 255 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: think they should do to protect schools? What you said 256 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: is smart? Okay, we're not the teachers. That's the difference, 257 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: he said. Teachers. I have no tackling an arm guard 258 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: the same way though, because you say, well, an arm 259 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: guard is trained, Okay, they're not gonna have someone just 260 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 1: walk up me. The teachers and our teachers have enough 261 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: to deal with. They're dealing with kids who've been left 262 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: behind for two straight years because they had basically no education. 263 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: But if it's a teacher who is an avid gun owner, 264 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: who's trained, who knows how to use, they're gonna feel 265 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: safer with their gun in the classroom because of everything 266 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: that's happening now today. But I would ask is the parents, 267 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: how do you feel your child being in a classroom 268 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: when there's a loaded gun. I think that's a fair question. 269 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: Ask the parents how they would feel about that. Parents 270 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: who got the gun, you could say, you get ask 271 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: you know the parents how those children feel with children 272 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: were killed when the police didn't run in and they 273 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: had no conjection. And see when it comes to New York. 274 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: My problem with New York is and I was born 275 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: to raise in New York. My father's retired police officer. 276 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of times it forces you 277 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: to get in a situation you can't handle. Right. If 278 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: I go to any other state, I think it's like 279 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: forty states I'm licensed to carry. I can't carry in 280 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: New York, of course, But how do I protect myself? 281 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: With crime rising and they're letting people out as they 282 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: get locked up, It's like I'm a target. It's like 283 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: he's a target. It's like you know you have security, 284 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: so you're not as a target. She's a target, you know, 285 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: to the point where I don't feel comfortable taking my 286 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 1: kids trick or treatment, you know, I don't feel comfortable 287 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: because I can't protect myself, and then the police are 288 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: not coming. They're they're retiring and quitting at high rates. 289 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: And it's like, but if I do carry a weapon 290 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: and I'm doing it and I'm carrying it to protect myself, 291 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: I gotta go to jail for three years. So it's 292 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: kind of like a weird situation, especially in New York 293 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: when it comes to carrying legal firearms. And let me 294 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: let me talk to you about train and I understand that. 295 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: Let's talk about New York State has some of the 296 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: toughest gun laws in America, de toughest. A lot of 297 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: states do not have any restrictions. So what is the 298 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: what is the death by firearm rate in states like 299 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: New York? About five people per hundred thousand killed by firearms. 300 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: In the states that don't have the same protections we do, 301 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: pick anyone of them, it's about twenty twenty five thirty 302 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: per hundred thousand the number of people getting killed by 303 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: firearms because the accessibility. Someone gets into a fight in 304 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: a bowling alley, or gets unhappy with someone at a 305 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: subway station. Someone gets shoved and they're not just shoving 306 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: back anymore they have a weapon. I think we really 307 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: need to think whether or not within a city with 308 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: eight million people, we want people arms sitting all around us. 309 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: Because the data shows that those states that have looser laws, 310 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: people are dying at a higher rate than they are 311 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: here in the state of New York. If that's the 312 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: real concern that we have. So I look at numbers, 313 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: I look at debt, I understand, but I also understand 314 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: the very really real emotions that are out there. There's 315 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: there is fear out there, but we in telling people 316 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: that the numbers are lower. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, 317 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: it's how you feel. And the reality is murders and 318 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: shootings are down, but other crimes are up, without a doubt, 319 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: and we're trying to tackle that. You know, the big 320 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: crime right now is car theft, and people are stealing 321 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: with the catalytic catalytic converters because and we just had 322 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: to pass along and now we have. If someone's trying 323 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: to steal a catalytic converter, the metals in it are 324 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: very expensive, they take it to a shop shop everybody 325 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: gets rich. Then there's a victim. We have victims out there. 326 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: We made it so the shop that they go to 327 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: now has to report it to us. They have to 328 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: keep a record of who brought that. So we just 329 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: did that last week. I think that's going to start 330 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: driving down that. So when you look at our numbers, 331 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: one of the big drivers' is auto theft and the 332 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: theft of Catholic converts. So everywhere there's a problem, we're 333 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: tackling it and going at ghost guns. One year ago, 334 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: people could order online and assemble in their living room, 335 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: put together an assault weapon and go shoot up a 336 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: grocery store in Buffalo. We banned the ghost guns. So 337 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: we're always trying to be ahead of this. My husband 338 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: was Barack Obama's United States Attorney up in western New York. 339 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: You know, his focus was gangs and street crimes, and 340 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: he and drove down the rate where he was able 341 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: to work with the community groups, the clergy, the violence disruptors, 342 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: they were all his allies, but also worked really hard 343 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: with law enforce and brought them together to drive crime down. 344 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: I still see we have great potential to do that. 345 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: That's why as governor, I'm been that convener. I brought 346 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: together nine states leaders of nine states law enforcement to 347 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: say I need your help to stop those guns from 348 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: coming here. I don't want them in East New York. 349 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,719 Speaker 1: I don't want them in the Bronx. I want our 350 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: people safe. And is that flow of guns. We have 351 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: four hundred million guns in this country that kids are 352 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: killing each other and it has to stop. And part 353 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: of the other way to stop it is to give 354 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: those young people an alternative. And I'm laser focused on 355 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: training programs and helping them get the jobs. And I 356 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: speak in churches all the time, but it's mostly the 357 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: older women in the churches, and I say, get your 358 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 1: grandson in here, get him in this program. There's people 359 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: are gonna take care of me. He's gonna be okay. 360 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: He said, to stop the time in his life when 361 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: he's most vulnerable to the allure of being part of 362 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: a gang and feeling, you know, he's got power when 363 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: he's got that gun. I want to go back to 364 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: the law reform for a second, because I saw Tammy Hudson, 365 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: the mother of a Kiera Benefield, and he says, your 366 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: support for nys No cash Bell law directly led to 367 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: her daughter's deaf and she said, you should also be 368 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: charged with the crime because she feels like you know 369 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: you have responsibility. What do you say to that? All 370 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: I can say is that is a grieving mother. That 371 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: is a grieving mother. I understand the anguish she's going through. 372 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: She doesn't understand how this could have happened to her 373 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: beloved daughter, leaving her children without grandchildren, without a mom 374 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: my family. My mother was a real champion for victims 375 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: of domestic violence. Our family started a home for victims 376 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: of domestic violence. This system failed, and I will just 377 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: simply say, you know, I'm not going to argue with 378 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: the facts with a woman who's in such pain. And 379 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying your lead is shrunk 380 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: because of the rollbacks on some of the bill law reform. 381 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,239 Speaker 1: What do you say to that? And I think this 382 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 1: is an opportunity for people to listen to what I 383 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: just explained. You know why the laws are put in 384 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,959 Speaker 1: place before I got there, what I did to correct 385 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: the areas where there needed to be reforms done. And 386 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: they've only been in place a few months. So I'm 387 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: just exactly saying that we really have to tackle the 388 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: issue of guns. Lie Zelden has a horrific record on guns. 389 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: Opposes our red flags, which means that when someone sends 390 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: a message on social media, I'm going to shoot up 391 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: a school. We have the writers of society to protect 392 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: ourselves and go to that person's house and do they 393 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: have gune. This literally happened in Buffalo a few days 394 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: ago because of the New York state red flag laws 395 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: that I toughened, and leave Zelda opposes, the police were 396 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: able to identify someone who made a threat to their 397 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: high school, went to their house and found a whole 398 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: cachet of guns. I want to prevent violence, not just 399 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: talk about it afterwards. And I think that also, no 400 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: system is going to be perfect right when it comes 401 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: to certain things. And I know that the castlest bail, 402 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: there's a lower of recidivism rate. I saw that. But 403 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: then also I don't know how we would argue against 404 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: the fact that somebody could get out on bail because 405 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: they have money, but someone else can't because they don't, right, 406 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: And it's somebody that would get bailed otherwise, because there's 407 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: still people who aren't going to even have the opportunity. 408 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,719 Speaker 1: There's no bail at all, and so those people who 409 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: are violent offenders still will have to be in jail. 410 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: But I think that if somebody is able to get 411 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: out on bail and the judge is going to give 412 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: you a bill that it should be cashless, because that 413 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: just the only difference is if you have money or 414 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: if you don't. And I don't see how we would 415 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 1: argue that, because there are people who are sitting in 416 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: jail for you know, speeding tickets and fines and things 417 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: like that that should be able to get out. But 418 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: I do feel like, yes, if it's somebody that the 419 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 1: judge bills is a danger to society, they shouldn't get 420 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: out at all. I'm not speeding tickets, but there are 421 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: people who were sitting in jail for those reasons. I'm 422 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: talking about like the gentleman who punched the cop in 423 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 1: the face. And he was punched the cop in the face. 424 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: He got out right away, after getting out a week 425 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: ago for having a gun charge, like after getting out 426 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: another week ago for alleged assaults like those. But my 427 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: thing is what he have gotten a cash bill at all, 428 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: because that's the only difference would be because because then 429 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: maybe that's somebody that shouldn't get a bill at all. 430 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: I don't feel like ide. But the only difference to 431 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: the judge discretion that the same thing in Illinois, Like 432 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: the Republicans took the message in Illinois and then came 433 00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: up with that whole pers thing. But it's the same exactly. 434 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: The judge had the discretion, and judges are elected and 435 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: there's consequences at the polling place. I was gonna ask 436 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: about housing now as well. You know, a lot of 437 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: black and brown minorities have a hard time getting houses, 438 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: have a hard time getting loans, have a hard time, 439 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: how much of anything coming up with a deposit, you know, Grant, 440 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts on helping more minorities become 441 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: homeowners because we all know that homeowners is usually starts generational. 442 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: Well for us, you know, that is so true. I 443 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: focus a lot on economic empowerment for black and brown communities, 444 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: and there has been this neglect. People assume that anybody 445 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: it's the American dream, everybody can rise up. Well that's 446 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: not the case when there's been systemic racism and barriers 447 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: to people being able to advance. And I'll get to 448 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: the housing question in a moment. But since I took 449 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: office fourteen months ago, everything we've been been doing is 450 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: through the lens of equity, you know, trying to make 451 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: up for the disparities that reared their ugly head, even 452 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: more so during the pandemic. Why more Brown individuals lost 453 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: their lives. What kind of healthcare were they getting or 454 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: not getting at that time? And so I have doctor 455 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,239 Speaker 1: Mary Bessett, a brilliant woman who's the head of our 456 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: health department. She is charged with identifying in the healthcare 457 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: system the disparities why maternal mortality is so high for 458 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 1: black women, why they're more likely to die on the 459 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: delivery table than anyone else. So we are laser focused 460 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 1: on that. So we look at all the areas where 461 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: there's disparities through this lens. And it also rears itself 462 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 1: in housing. And we have toughened our laws also on 463 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,719 Speaker 1: discriminatory practices that still exist today. And I grew up 464 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: in Buffalo and my parents were involved in something called 465 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: housing Opportunities Made Equal. It was a white block. My 466 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: parents brought in people from Buffalo, people of color and 467 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: tried to work to get them to be able to 468 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: live in our neighborhood and break down the races. We 469 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: had a lot of threats on our family at the 470 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: time for simply doing something that today we would say, 471 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: how is that possible in my lifetime, but it was real. 472 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: It was real, and we fought against that even back then. 473 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: And now we have to make sure that we have 474 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: us programs for first time homebuyers, make sure that there's 475 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: not discriminatory lending practices, the redlining where people would say, 476 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 1: well that that neighborhood is high crime, so we won't 477 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: give you insurance, you can't buy a house there. It's 478 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: all cyclical. But what I'm going to continue doing is 479 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: creating more housing stock, more affordable housing overall, making sure 480 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: we have supportive housing for people. But when I talk 481 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: about the economic empowerment, I think about projects. We just 482 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: opened up a new area with Magic Johnson. Magic Johnson's 483 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: one of the big investors in our investments, and love 484 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: that guy. Love that guy, and he's so dull. He's 485 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: so dull. I felt like a dwarf next to him. 486 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: But it was exciting because his company is coming in 487 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: and helping create thousands of jobs here. And we gave 488 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: him that ability by saying, we intentionally said I want 489 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: thirty percent forty percent as project to be MWB. You 490 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,719 Speaker 1: figured out you hire the people, the contractors, and so 491 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: there's a spinoff and those people from Jamaica and the 492 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,959 Speaker 1: communities around the airport that are so hits hard. They 493 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: have to deal with all the traffic and they have 494 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: to deal with all the noise. They should be the 495 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: ones who rise up the fastest and they can be 496 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: able to buy a house. I'll have the money to 497 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: buy house, and we give them the good paying jobs. 498 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: I literally was on the phone early this morning with 499 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: a CEO who wants to come to New York bring 500 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: six hundred jobs. Because we're able to announce last week 501 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 1: because of my efforts here at the state and Chuck 502 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: Schumer at the federal level, the largest private sector investment 503 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 1: in our state history. We're bringing back home the semiconductor 504 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: manufacturing facilities to be fifty thousand jobs. What does that mean? 505 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: That means here in the city of New York. I 506 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: want to grab high school kids and young people and 507 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: get them into a training program. I said, you can 508 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: make one hundred thousand dollars to start if I can 509 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: get you the training in these jobs. So that's how 510 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: you lead to that ability to buy that home and 511 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: to get out of the crushing weight of having to 512 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: make those rent payments and the anxiety that happens every 513 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: single day when people aren't sure if the cost of 514 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: living is going to get higher and higher and higher. 515 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of pain out there. But I'm 516 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: so focused on this because I'm hardwired to solve problems. 517 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: But also I have an empathetic heart. You know, I 518 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: was raised in a family of social justice Catholics. We 519 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: are out there marching for civil rights. Back when I 520 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: was a kid, I had a band protesting the Vietnam War. 521 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: Is a little kid in school. So I come out 522 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: of a family didn't have much. Parents used to live 523 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: in a trailer park and dad worked at a steel 524 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: plan But we rose up because my dad got an education, 525 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: and I want that same shot for every young person. 526 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: So we're investing in education that will lead to the 527 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: new jobs that will lead to the house that every 528 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: young person and family deserves to have in the state 529 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: of New York. You know, I read an article in 530 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: the National Review that says the Democratic leadership is making 531 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: NYC unlivable for conservatives, and there's this Republican exodus. So 532 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: how do you plan to keep people in New York? Well, 533 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: we have to give them the jobs, and you know, 534 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: people may not want to be here philosophical and we 535 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: have we do advance people's rights in this state. And 536 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: if that's something that an individual philosophically doesn't support, you know, 537 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: I hope they will stay. We welcome them to stay 538 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: and hopefully understand why it's so important for us to 539 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,719 Speaker 1: have rights for people. And it's been a long journey 540 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: to get to the rights we have here in the 541 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: state of New York, whether it's LGBTQ rights, women's rights 542 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: that are under assault right now. I mean, people want 543 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 1: to live in a state where whether or not a 544 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: woman can decide what to do with their own body 545 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: is unquestioned, right. I mean, that's why in New York 546 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: State is even more welcoming. People are starting to want 547 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: to come here from other states, and we embrace them 548 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: because that's who we are. We're so fascinatingly diverse. We 549 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: welcome people from all over. But also we have jobs 550 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: now that we didn't have before. So I encourage everyone 551 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: to stay be honest. Now, magat conservatives can go, let 552 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: me tell you a story real quick. You got a second, 553 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: how much time I'll tell you? This is why I'm 554 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 1: a different kind of leader. In Congress, I was elected 555 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: as the first Democrat to represent the most Republican district 556 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 1: in the state ten years ago. How did I do that? 557 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: As a Democrat from Buffalo. I went out to the 558 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: small towns and the diners and the VFW posts and 559 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: met with the people. And I was out there fighting 560 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: for healthcare, protecting Social Security and Medicare. And they saw 561 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: in me as someone who was not to find so 562 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: much by labels, but as someone who really had a 563 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: heart that was a fighter. I am a fighter, but 564 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: I voted. I voted to protect their interest and I 565 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: was elected. And one time I was taking a little 566 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: trip along the canal as an Eary Canal, and you 567 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: all know it changed the history of New York Theory Canal. 568 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: I was on his boat with my husband and we 569 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: pulled up to a dock in one of these really 570 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: conservative small towns, docked the boat. I didn't understand why 571 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: there's so many other boats round. Realized that we were 572 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: in the middle of a Trump flotilla. There's all these 573 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 1: Trump flags flying, and we had to jump out. We're 574 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: going to go try to find a pizzeria in the 575 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: town to get some food. And we were surrounded by 576 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: people and I didn't know if they'd recognize me or not. 577 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: And I stepped out in the crowd and I saw 578 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: a bunch of the guys looking out of the hood 579 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 1: of a car. It sounds like a horror movie now, 580 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: and it gets better, it gets better, and they're all looking. 581 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: I said, is it a sixty seven chival? I said, 582 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: my brother had that opened up that head. Let me 583 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: see what you got under here. So I start talking 584 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: these guys. We're talking about you know, how I drove 585 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: the pace car, nas car, I've you know, I just 586 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 1: I do everything I can. So I start all of 587 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: a sudden, we start talking about football, because this is 588 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 1: up in Buffalo Bills Country. So we're talking about the 589 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,159 Speaker 1: Bills game. We're talking about cars, We're talking about voting, 590 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: We're talking play seat. And by the time they knew 591 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 1: who I was. They knew at the time I was 592 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor of New York because a Democrat. They were 593 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: all truly Trump supporters. But by time we're done, they said, 594 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: come on back and have a beer with us after 595 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: you get your dinner. Here's a place. I do believe 596 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: that we can connect with people in a different way 597 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: when you set the election aside. In November ninth to 598 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: be an opportunity for me to govern for the next 599 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: four years in an inclusive way that understands there's parts 600 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: of our date where they feel neglected overlooked. Whether it's 601 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: you know, in the boroughs or whether it's upstate. They 602 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: need to have a leader who will bring people together 603 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 1: and not be so divisive. I've already demonstrated I can 604 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: be that person, and that's exactly why I believe those 605 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: individuals will still want to stay in a state where 606 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: their children will have a good education, they have a 607 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: chance of getting a good job, and will protect the 608 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: rights of their family. What you're saying is right in 609 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: theory if we were dealing with a traditional type of conservative. 610 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: But I feel like when I hit democrats say that, 611 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: it sounds like y'all want to play nice with the racist. 612 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: Y'all want to play nice with the fascist. That's what 613 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: it sounds like. No no, no, no, no, no no no 614 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: no no. If you if you would have started having 615 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: a conversation about black people, are LGBTQ, are immigrants with 616 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: those same individuals would have changed. It's saying my job exactly. 617 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: My job as the governor is to not drive people 618 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: away from our state. If that was that seems like 619 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: that was the promise you. I'm not driving people away 620 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: from our state. I'm simply saying I want them to 621 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: understand our values, our values of what sets us apart 622 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: as New Yorkers. They see here and get to know people, 623 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: and that's why I think when you get to know 624 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: people and you start breaking down the barriers, because otherwise 625 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: our country is heading into a dark place. I will 626 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: always stand up for progressive values and probably do so, 627 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: but I also want to reach out with the message 628 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: to others that say, you're worried about your family, the 629 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: cost of living, safety. Everybody's concerned about those, and I'm 630 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: the person who's going to leave this state back. So 631 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: I am calling out white supremacists. I have no trouble 632 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: sending my state police to investigate any area of where 633 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: I think that there's hatred, where there's racism, there's bigotry. 634 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: And in fact, I charged our Attorney General Tis James 635 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: after the massacre in Buffalo to start monitoring our social 636 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: media sites and finding out who else is saying what 637 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: so we can prevent the next massacre. So no tolerance 638 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: for that. But for those who simply feel that the 639 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: Democratic Party doesn't speak to them anymore. I'm going to 640 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: have the conversations and try to pull them back, but 641 00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: I will not try to win over the hearts and 642 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: minds of someone who is so full of hatred. You're 643 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: absolutely right. There's there's a big difference between New York Republicans, 644 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: the old school New York Republicans and what has morphed 645 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: into today. And we have to call it out for 646 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: the hatred and you think that. Yeah. Last question, why 647 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: do you think that Liezeldon has gotten so much support. 648 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: I think people are listening to a message and I'm 649 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 1: just out here to say it is not true. You 650 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: cannot say that the crime problem will go away on 651 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: day one. When you refuse to take steps to get 652 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: guns off the streets and protect our young people from 653 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: violence in the streets, it doesn't add up. So I 654 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: appreciate this opportunity because there is a billionaire funding lee 655 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: Zeldon adds very close to Donald Trump, almost eighteen million 656 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: dollars in negative ads against me, and that definitely has 657 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: an effect. I'm out there working hard every day. I 658 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: still have a government to run, but I'm going to 659 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: be the best leader. And I didn't come here to 660 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,080 Speaker 1: be the first woman elected governor. I came here to 661 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: make a real difference. I don't need to make history. 662 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: I want to make a differences. Will judge me by 663 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: that years to come. I'm gonna ask you about that. 664 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: Is there an internal pressure to win this election and like, 665 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: have the people actually vote you in because of how 666 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: you know you became governor. Now, it's not about me personally, 667 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: no matter what happens, I'm still the same person. I'm 668 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: still that same person who came out of Buffalo with 669 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: you know, in a family that struggled, and I'm still 670 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: a fighter no matter what happens. It's not about me. 671 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: It's about the direction of this state. Does the straight 672 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: state want to continue moving forward with someone who cherishes 673 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,479 Speaker 1: the rights that we fought for for so long here, 674 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: will protect them and not go backwards on a women's 675 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: right to choose or all the rights that we think 676 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: are so important here. The fundamental right to be safe 677 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: is number one, and I'm the person to protect that 678 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: because I actually have a record, not just a lot 679 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: of rhetoric saying I'm going to do this. I'm gonna 680 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: do this. You had a chance, Lly zeld In to 681 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: stand up and vote in Congress to support our law 682 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: enforcement and to get guns offers. So you had a 683 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: chance and you blew it. And I have a record 684 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: where we're making a real difference. And that's the message 685 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: I'm putting out the voters. And I feel good. And 686 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: again I'm a big sports fan. It's not over until you, 687 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: you know, lob it into the end zone and then 688 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: you can spit the football.
