1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news joining us. Now he

2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: is the mayor of New York City. We have a

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: two hour conversation to squeeze into a polite twenty minutes,

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: and there are many many tapists to talk of. I

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: want to talk of the immediate news. My father came

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: home to College Point Long Island. In the distance was LaGuardia.

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: What a celebration for New York the rebuilding of LaGuardia.

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: Halfway there is Bayside High School where you used to

9
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: darken the door, and let's not mince words, it was

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: a challenge Mayor Adams a few years ago. I want

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: you to speak right now to the teachers of Bayside

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: High School who went with the other guy yesterday in

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: their union endorsement.

14
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: Well, when you look at what we were able to

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: accomplish here in the city, we've outpaced of the state

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: and reading and math got so much more to do.

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: But also we're developing the illness of our children, teaching

18
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: them meditation, breathing exercises, healthier food to eat. So our

19
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: children are not only academically smart, but we want them

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: to be emotionally intelligent and at the same time of

21
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: what we have done in our educational system for one

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty thousand children in pre K three K

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: of the universal after school program, and paid our teachers

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: a dawn good union contract to make sure that they're

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: having a wage that they deserve.

26
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: My youngest child, afterthought, went to a school with eleven

27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: languages in first grade. You have Acman and Lobe Wall

28
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: Street support. They talk charter schools. Can you reaffirm here

29
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: a better education system away from union dynamics and the

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: silliness of it all.

31
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: It's so important when you think about when a parent

32
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: drops their child off to school, they're not asking if

33
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: it's a charter school, if it's a baroqua, if it's

34
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: a body school. They want a quality education in the

35
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: safe environment.

36
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 3: And that is what we've produced.

37
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: And you know, union heads don't always speak on behalf

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: of the rank and file teachers population of I know

39
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: those teachers appreciate what I have done as the mayor

40
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: and what this administration has done, and many of those

41
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: teachers will be.

42
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: Voting for me, mister mayor.

43
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 4: What statement were the Democratic voters making when they selected

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 4: mister Mandane in the primary? Maybe here in New York

45
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 4: city certainly, but maybe even n Ashley.

46
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: Let's let's examine this, and I think that's something that

47
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: has been not really understood. Nine percent of voters voted,

48
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: nine percent, ninety one percent they have yet to speak.

49
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: Two point five million Democrats, a million independents, of several

50
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: hundred thousand Republicans. This is the moment when we're going

51
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: to see what New Yorkers want. Do you want someone

52
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: who just funck defunded, just banned police departments. Do you

53
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: want someone that's telling high end commerders to leave our

54
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 2: city without understandity economics that they bring. Do you want

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: to stop our progress and one of the healthiest economies

56
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: we've ever had In public safety? He wants to empty

57
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: reikis Island, seventy four hundred of the most dangerous people

58
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: in our city. He wants to empty Rykers Island and

59
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: have they'll come back to the communities that they offended.

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: And so New Yorkers are going to be able to

61
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: hear clear messages of what the future looks like and

62
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: what that future looks like under him.

63
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 4: Current polling Slingshot strategies have mister Mondani at first at

64
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 4: thirty five percent of the vote. Governor Cuomo second at

65
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 4: twenty five percent, mister slioof fourteen percent and you at

66
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 4: eleven percent.

67
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: What does that poll tell.

68
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 4: You and what do you need to do to change those.

69
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: It tells me. Don't listen to polls.

70
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty one, they had me thirteen percent behind Andrew Yang,

71
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: thirteen percent behind Andrew Yang, and we're not calling him,

72
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: but you will.

73
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: Not find Governor Cuomo. What do you need to have

74
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: you spoken to Governor Cuomo yet in.

75
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: This communicated with him several times.

76
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: Andrew has a history of doing things when it comes

77
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: down to African American candidates. He did it to Carl

78
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: McCall when he ran for governor. He did it to

79
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: David bat Patterson when he who spoke recently exactly he

80
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 2: did it. He did it to Charlie King when Charlie

81
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: King ran for a g He did it to Keith Wright.

82
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: He has a history, and I think the different reporting

83
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: or no.

84
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: Sabotage in that racing trying to compel them to get

85
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,559
Speaker 2: out of the race. He underestimated Eric Adams, a former

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 2: cop that knows what a bully looks like. And I

87
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: am going to complete this race. My campaign has just started.

88
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 2: I have not been campaigning and not have an opportunity

89
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: to speak to voters.

90
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: You're going to complete this. Let's be clear for us,

91
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: particularly for our national audience. Eric Adams with us here

92
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 1: at this interesting time for the city and a cost

93
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: for the nation is well. Thank you for joining Bloomberg

94
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: surveillance on television in radio, Mayor Adams. But the critical

95
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: distinction here is timeline to the election. When does the

96
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: Adams Croomo tension need to get fixed to come to

97
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: an efficacious outcome for the people against mister mucdonie.

98
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: Think about this for a moment.

99
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: Andrew knew that Madonnie was going to be on the

100
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: ballot on a Berkans family party line.

101
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 3: He knew that.

102
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: He knew I was going to be as a Democrat

103
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: on my own line. He knew that, so why would

104
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: he also do an independent line. He created this scenario

105
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 2: because he thought by doing so, he can force me.

106
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: Andrew Cromo created mister Mumcdoni's campaign.

107
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: He created this scenario that created an opportunity to divide

108
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: the vote instead of being unified around Madonnie. This was

109
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: his creation and it's typical of how he created these scenarios.

110
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: We're not going to succumb to that. He had his chance.

111
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 2: Twenty five million dollars he spent, he got his message out,

112
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: he didn't campaign, he didn't go out and interact with voters.

113
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 3: He created it.

114
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: Now it's time for me to have an opportunity and

115
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 2: we will win and beat him.

116
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 4: Has Governor Cuomo asked you not to run, or if

117
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 4: you asked Governor Cuomo not to run?

118
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 2: Both when he spoke, we both interacted and I said

119
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: you should step aside.

120
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: For the good of this city.

121
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: We both agreed the city were move in the wrong

122
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 2: direction under the primary winner, and I think he should

123
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 2: do the right thing.

124
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 4: If he doesn't do the right thing. From your perspective,

125
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 4: would you run as a Republican?

126
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: No, it's Curtis Lee or is a Republican primary winner.

127
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: He's the winner of that party. It's too late to

128
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: switch that right now. I'm going to give votes from

129
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 2: all New Yorkers because when New Yorkers won safe Street,

130
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: they're not asking if they're a Democrat or Republican.

131
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: They want their street safe.

132
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: The constant theme mayor of our interviews and surveillance has

133
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: been committed to talking about this debate with his national ramifications,

134
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,799
Speaker 1: and you mentioned it earlier. The New York Police Department

135
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: is a general rule. I'm speaking as an amateur. We're

136
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: three thousand down on the body count of the New

137
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: York Police Department. What are you going to do day

138
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: one on a second term mayor to get the NYPD

139
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: back to a forward motion.

140
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 3: Well, that urgency can't happen on the reelection is happening. Now.

141
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: We're in the place to.

142
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: Bring on four thousand more offices by way they're starting now.

143
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: We have a class that's in now. By the end

144
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: of the year, we're going to be substantially higher. And

145
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: part of the problem is a lot of the large classes.

146
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: We saw a lttrition, We saw a lot of officers retiring.

147
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: That is why I was imperative as the mayor that

148
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: I settled a good contract with our union members.

149
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: Eric Adams with us here the Mayor of New York City.

155
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 4: Paul, mister Mary, let's talk about immigration right off the

156
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 4: tip of Manhattan. We've got the Statue of Liberty that

157
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 4: means a lot to a lot of New Yorkers. How

158
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 4: do you think about immigration in this city and maybe

159
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 4: how does that different from what President Trump thinks about Well.

160
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: And you're right, that statue represents a lot, and particularly

161
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: when you look at the fact that my nineteen year

162
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: uncle died to protect the right of being an American

163
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: and Vietnam War. But think about this for moment coming here.

164
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: You should not be inflicting violence on undocumented New Yorkers

165
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: or documented New Yorkers. We manage a humanitarian crisis with

166
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty seven thousand microcin or silence seekert

167
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: now once slept on our streets. Every one of those

168
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: children were educated in our school system. And I'm going

169
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: to coordinate with federal authorities to go after the dangerous

170
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: at the Veniceth Whalley gang members we took down that

171
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: was selling drugs, forcing women into prostitution who were undocumented.

172
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: The Lord does not allow us to collaborate for civil enforcement.

173
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: We won't do that, but we will collaborate to go

174
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 2: after dangerous people.

175
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: I should mention again Good Morning on Bloomberg Television with

176
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: Katie Greifeld and Snoli Bassic as well Mary Adams. Here's

177
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: the headline. I talked to Laura Namais and this is

178
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: just so important within her expertise of this city. The

179
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: La Times heavily armed immigration agents descend on LA's MacArthur Park.

180
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: If I'm having a beverage at the Sunset Tower Hotel,

181
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: I look across the opulence of LA to a really

182
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 1: tough part of town. And the other day we saw

183
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: military enforcement wrapped around these deportations and ice marching across

184
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: MacArthur Park in Los Angeles. The critics to you will

185
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: say you're in trump back pocket. How are you going

186
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: to push against the president and his administration if we

187
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: have those tensions in New York.

188
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: You know, one of the best saying is if you

189
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: tell a lie long enough, you think it's true.

190
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 3: But we need to deal with the facts here.

191
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 2: We took this administration to court on things we thought

192
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: were wrong, more than any mayor in the country, more

193
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: than any mayor in the country.

194
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 3: But when I.

195
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: Needed the president to lift the stopbroke order on a

196
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 2: multi billion dollar wind farm project in Sunset Park. Fifteen

197
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: hundred union jobs, five hundred thousand homes would have benefited

198
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: from it. I flew to Washington, had a healthy conversation

199
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: with him. He lifted the stopbroke order. Same relationship I

200
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: had with President Biden. Ten trips to Washington, two meets

201
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: with the President to deal with law enforcement officer. I

202
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: nicknamed myself the Biden of Brooklyn. I work with presidents.

203
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: I don't war with presidents. I have to deliver for

204
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 2: the city of New York, and it will be irresponsible

205
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: for any mayor not to do that.

206
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: The granularity of the election in this it's like Lindsey

207
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties or something.

208
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 3: I got it.

209
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: I can't keep tracking. Is Adam's an independent, a Democrat

210
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: or Republican?

211
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: What is wait, we don't know this one.

212
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: He's an independent of Mayory Adams. My team is listening

213
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: to this interview, and there has to be a clarification

214
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: of your relationship with the President of the United States.

215
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: When will we see that?

216
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 3: I think you're seeing it now.

217
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: You're seeing a mayor that's defending and fighting for his

218
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: city in a responsible way.

219
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 3: New York City is the largest city.

220
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: In America, and if you're going to be the mayor

221
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: of that city and you are unwilling to communicate with

222
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 2: the President of the United States, if it's Biden or

223
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, if it's a Democrat or Republican, that's irresponsible.

224
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: Governor Hku went to Washington several times. Mayors across the

225
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 2: country are going to Washington. And so for anyone that

226
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 2: states that the mayor of the largest city in the

227
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: country should not be communicating with the White House, that's irresponsible.

228
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: You're not delivering for your city. I must deliver for

229
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 2: New York. That is my primary goal and that's who

230
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: I respond.

231
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 3: To, mister Merrick.

232
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 4: In terms of delivering for New York City, cost of

233
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 4: living has always been a key issue.

234
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 3: What is the plan?

235
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: Is there a solution here? Because every day people keep

236
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 4: coming into this island of Manhattan, how do we house

237
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 4: them all?

238
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: Twenty one when I ran for office, the top issue

239
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 2: was public safety and housing. Follow that the reason you're

240
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: seeing other conversations come on the floor and this election

241
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 2: is because we solved the public safety problem.

242
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: You see was Commissioner Tish. We have the lowest numbers of.

243
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: I will state, let me interrupt, I will state where

244
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: I live. Folks, I can state it's not as bad

245
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: as it was eighteen months ago. I still don't like it.

246
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: Mayor Adam, I'm gonna cut you some slack here. It's

247
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: better than it was.

248
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 2: Four point six million people take our subway system every day.

249
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: We have an average of five feloniesy to day we

250
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: had a four point six million. These police officers are

251
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 2: doing an amazing job of keeping us safe. But the

252
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 2: issue of affordability, I know it so well. I grew

253
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 2: up in poverty. The primary winner grew up in luxury.

254
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: Yet that same luxury he grew up in. He stating

255
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: that we should not have a financial ecosystem. I want

256
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 2: the person that drives a limousine to have prosperity in

257
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 2: the city, and the person assists in the back of

258
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: the limousine.

259
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 3: That's the city I want to live in.

260
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: The Zeitgeistchier and again learns briefing me on this is

261
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: you came into office and there was a scandal. That

262
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: scandal that I don't even know. It's old news for me.

263
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: It's water well under the bridge. But there's a zeitgeist

264
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: now that you need to get a new team as

265
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: the next mayor, maybe involving some of those people in limousines.

266
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: You team up acmin Lobe and the others within the

267
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: financial business. If the other guys elected Mandami, every w

268
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: jinare they moving to Coral Gables or to Miami?

269
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 3: Oh? Both?

270
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: This is Sirian manor this is serious tough. You've got

271
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: a mandate for five How many millions of people are

272
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: under your watch?

273
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: Eight point five million New York is three hundred and

274
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 2: twenty thousand employees.

275
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: I want you to talk to the one hundred thousand

276
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: fancy people in those limousines right now. How are you

277
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: going to get them not to move to Florida.

278
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, we're going to win this race,

279
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: and in my reelection, we're going to continue what we

280
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: have done in New York. As we talk about this

281
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: business channel here, we have more jobs in the city

282
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: in the city's history, more small businesses in the city's history.

283
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 2: Bond Raid has raised our bond as they saw us

284
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: navigate out of COVID migrans.

285
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 3: And asylum seekers crimes.

286
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: When you take twenty two thousand illegal guns off this trees,

287
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 2: one hundred thousand illegal vehicles that will used in current

288
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: criminal behavior.

289
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 3: You have stabilized the city.

290
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: The economic stimulus package of the city is public safety.

291
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 3: Mister Marrier, given where the polls have you now, whether you.

292
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 4: Believe the polls or not, what is your path to victory?

293
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 3: Do you believe voters? New voters?

294
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: Ninety one percent of the voters did not participate in

295
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: this election. We have a substantial number. We're going to

296
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 2: register a million new voters over the next few months.

297
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: And everyone is talking about the excitement that is felt

298
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: over the primary winner. What they're missing is the excitement

299
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: that I am seeing every day of those who say

300
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 2: this can't happen.

301
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 4: How do you run against mister monamik?

302
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: You sorry?

303
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 4: How would you run against them? How will you run

304
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 4: against them?

305
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: You have to do it in layers. You have to

306
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: look at the various communities. And when I say communities,

307
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about a geographical location.

308
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 3: I'm talking about issues. I met with.

309
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: Two one hundred and fifty bodega and supermarket owners yesterday.

310
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: A government run supermarket would devastate their business. I met

311
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: with two hundred and fifty of the seven hundred thousand

312
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: small property owners can you imagine telling a small property

313
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: owner that you can never raise the rent so that

314
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: your rent rolls no longer equal the repairs of the building.

315
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: Those small property owners are going to lose their property.

316
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: All of these different communities are now waking up and

317
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: realizing what his policies would do to them individually.
