WEBVTT

00:00.848 --> 00:02.057
VOTERS AS WELL.

00:02.058 --> 00:03.851
RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS A BIT BLEAK.

00:03.886 --> 00:04.717
GARRETT HAAKE, THANK YOU SO

00:04.719 --> 00:05.009
MUCH.

00:05.044 --> 00:06.562
>>> AND PRESIDENT TRUMP IS

00:06.563 --> 00:08.716
TAKING HIS LAW AND ORDER MESSAGE

00:08.750 --> 00:11.166
AND THREATENING TO TURN IT INTO

00:11.200 --> 00:12.287
POLITICALLY TARGETED POLICY.

00:12.288 --> 00:13.694
HIS ADMINISTRATION IS NOW

00:13.729 --> 00:15.192
THREATENING TO WITHHOLD FUNDING

00:15.193 --> 00:17.236
FROM A HANDFUL OF BLUE CITIES,

00:17.238 --> 00:19.025
NEW YORK, WASHINGTON, D.C.,

00:19.026 --> 00:21.023
SEATTLE, AND PORTLAND, OREGON,

00:21.025 --> 00:23.975
FOR WHAT IT IS CALLING LAWLESS

00:24.009 --> 00:25.142
BEHAVIOR THAT HAS PERMITTED,

00:25.176 --> 00:26.055
QUOTE, ANARCHY AND VIOLENCE.

00:26.056 --> 00:27.459
LEADERS FROM THOSE CITIES ARE

00:27.494 --> 00:28.906
NOW RESPONDING IN A JOINT

00:28.940 --> 00:30.109
STATEMENT THAT READS IN PART,

00:30.110 --> 00:31.680
PRESIDENT TRUMP NEEDS TO WAKE UP

00:31.714 --> 00:34.029
TO THE REALITY FACING OUR CITIES

00:34.030 --> 00:35.938
AND OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY.

00:35.973 --> 00:37.804
AND REALIZE HE IS NOT ABOVE THE

00:37.805 --> 00:38.338
LAW.

00:38.373 --> 00:40.759
JOINING ME NOW IS NEW YORK CITY

00:40.760 --> 00:42.393
MAYOR BILL de BLASIO.

00:42.428 --> 00:43.824
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING

00:43.826 --> 00:44.342
HERE.

00:44.377 --> 00:47.271
DO YOU TAKE THIS AS A THREAT OR

00:47.272 --> 00:48.769
JUST EMPTY WORDS?

00:48.770 --> 00:50.594
>> WELL, IT’S CERTAINLY A

00:50.628 --> 00:51.669
POLITICAL CAMPAIGN STUNT.

00:51.703 --> 00:52.912
IT’S NOT ABOUT GOVERNING.

00:52.914 --> 00:54.142
IT’S NOT ABOUT HELPING NEW YORK

00:54.143 --> 00:55.307
CITY OR ANY OTHER CITY.

00:55.308 --> 00:57.104
I MEAN, I HAVE TALKED TO THE

00:57.138 --> 00:58.764
PRESIDENT MULTIPLE TIMES, AND I

00:58.765 --> 01:00.737
ASKED HIM FOR TESTING FOR THIS

01:00.771 --> 01:01.909
CITY, NEVER GOT IT.

01:01.910 --> 01:03.430
ASKED HIM FOR STIMULUS TO HELP

01:03.431 --> 01:04.431
US GET ON OUR FEET.

01:04.432 --> 01:05.332
NEVER GOT IT.

01:05.333 --> 01:06.807
ASKED HIM TO BE CLEARER ABOUT

01:06.808 --> 01:08.170
WHAT WE NEEDED TO DO TO STAY

01:08.204 --> 01:09.859
HEALTHY AND GIVE THE RIGHT

01:09.894 --> 01:10.964
MESSAGE TO PEOPLE IN THIS

01:10.965 --> 01:11.207
COUNTRY.

01:11.208 --> 01:12.240
NEVER HEARD IT.

01:12.241 --> 01:13.908
SO KATY, THIS IS ABOUT POLITICS.

01:13.909 --> 01:16.357
HE’S USING THIS AS A CAMPAIGN

01:16.358 --> 01:18.451
PLOY, BUT IT’S JUST BLATANTLY

01:18.452 --> 01:19.304
UNCONSTITUTIONAL, WHAT HE’S

01:19.305 --> 01:19.783
SAYING.

01:19.784 --> 01:21.449
THE PRESIDENT DOESN’T HAVE THE

01:21.451 --> 01:23.465
RIGHT TO SUBVERT WHAT THE

01:23.499 --> 01:24.612
CONGRESS ALREADY DECIDED IN

01:24.613 --> 01:25.951
TERMS OF A BUDGET.

01:25.985 --> 01:27.965
THAT’S IN THE CONSTITUTION.

01:27.966 --> 01:29.510
THE CONGRESS DECIDES THAT.

01:29.545 --> 01:31.528
SO HE’S GOING TO FIND OUT THAT,

01:31.529 --> 01:33.170
YOU KNOW, EITHER HE’LL TRY IT

01:33.204 --> 01:35.299
AND THEN WE’LL GO TO COURT AND

01:35.300 --> 01:37.672
BEAT HIM OR LIKE SO MANY OF HIS

01:37.673 --> 01:38.736
OTHER BLUSTERY THREATS, HE’S

01:38.737 --> 01:40.513
GOING LET IT GO AND HOPE PEOPLE

01:40.548 --> 01:41.425
FORGET ABOUT IT.

01:41.459 --> 01:43.156
>> WHERE DOES THE BUDGET STAND

01:43.157 --> 01:45.190
IN NEW YORK CITY RIGHT NOW?

01:45.191 --> 01:46.467
>> KATY, WE’RE IN A HORRIBLE

01:46.468 --> 01:46.803
SITUATION.

01:46.837 --> 01:48.478
YOU KNOW, WE WERE THE EPICENTER

01:48.513 --> 01:49.510
OF THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS FOR

01:49.511 --> 01:50.027
MONTHS.

01:50.028 --> 01:52.043
WE HAVE LOST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS

01:52.045 --> 01:52.589
OF REVENUE.

01:52.624 --> 01:54.795
WE’RE TRYING TO HOLD IT

01:54.796 --> 01:55.304
TOGETHER.

01:55.338 --> 01:57.829
RIGHT NOW, IF I DON’T GET BUDGET

01:57.830 --> 02:00.062
RELIEF FROM WASHINGTON OR MY

02:00.096 --> 02:01.681
STATE CAPITAL, I’M IN A HORRIBLE

02:01.715 --> 02:03.110
SITUATION FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE

02:03.111 --> 02:07.301
CITY WHERE WE MAY NOT HAVE TO

02:07.302 --> 02:09.063
LAY OFF NOT THOUSANDS BUT TENS

02:09.064 --> 02:10.147
OF THOUSANDS OF CITY WORKERS

02:10.148 --> 02:11.782
JUST WHEN WE NEED THEM MOST.

02:11.784 --> 02:13.631
IT’S STUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF

02:13.633 --> 02:14.738
THAT, WHERE WE’RE THE NATION’S

02:14.739 --> 02:16.634
LARGEST CITY THAT NEEDS TO BE

02:16.669 --> 02:17.900
PART OF LEADING THIS RECOVERY,

02:17.934 --> 02:18.881
HERE’S THE PRESIDENT TALKING

02:18.916 --> 02:20.742
ABOUT WHAT HE CAN TAKE AWAY FROM

02:20.776 --> 02:21.423
US.

02:21.457 --> 02:22.708
HE’S JUST ABROGATED

02:22.742 --> 02:24.163
RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT LIFTED A

02:24.198 --> 02:25.946
FINGER FOR THE STIMULUS.

02:25.980 --> 02:27.872
WHAT A CONTRAST.

02:27.873 --> 02:30.048
ENERGETICALLY TRYING TO HURT THE

02:30.049 --> 02:31.346
NATION’S CAPITAL, THE NATION’S

02:31.347 --> 02:33.074
LARGEST CITY, BUT NOT LIFTING A

02:33.108 --> 02:34.372
FINGER TO GET ANYONE THE HELP

02:34.407 --> 02:35.357
THEY NEED.

02:35.358 --> 02:37.617
>> SO VIOLENCE IS UP IN NEW YORK

02:37.619 --> 02:38.254
CITY.

02:38.255 --> 02:40.647
791 SHOOTINGS SINCE MAY.

02:40.681 --> 02:42.770
THAT’S UP 140% SINCE 2019.

02:42.804 --> 02:44.266
87% INCREASE IN SHOOTINGS YEAR

02:44.301 --> 02:45.100
TO DATE.

02:45.134 --> 02:46.316
1,000 SHOOTINGS BEFORE LABOR

02:46.350 --> 02:47.146
DAY.

02:47.180 --> 02:50.747
IT’S THE WORST YEAR FOR GUN

02:50.749 --> 02:52.294
VIOLENCE SINCE 2015.

02:52.296 --> 02:53.993
I’M OBVIOUSLY GOING TO NOT AGREE

02:53.994 --> 02:56.090
WITH THE PRESIDENT WHEN HE SAYS

02:56.125 --> 02:57.549
THESE CITIES ARE BEING OVERRUN.

02:57.551 --> 02:59.096
YOU CAN’T LEAVE THEM, AND

02:59.130 --> 03:00.059
THEY’RE ALL ON FIRE.

03:00.094 --> 03:01.854
OBVIOUSLY, THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

03:01.888 --> 03:03.288
ANYBODY WHO LIVES IN NEW YORK

03:03.322 --> 03:04.930
CITY AND IS BREATHING KNOWS

03:04.931 --> 03:06.134
THAT’S NOT THE CASE.

03:06.136 --> 03:07.966
BUT WE ARE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH

03:07.967 --> 03:09.367
CRIME IN THIS CITY.

03:09.368 --> 03:11.572
IS THE BUDGET PART OF THE REASON

03:11.607 --> 03:13.016
WHY CRIME IS GOING UP?

03:13.017 --> 03:14.519
WHAT DO YOU ATTRIBUTE IT TO?

03:14.521 --> 03:17.797
>> LOOK, WE HAVE HAD A PERFECT

03:17.798 --> 03:19.333
STORM HERE, KATY.

03:19.334 --> 03:20.931
PEOPLE, A MILLION JOBS LOST IN

03:20.965 --> 03:21.410
THE CITY.

03:21.445 --> 03:22.950
PEOPLE WITHOUT WORK.

03:22.951 --> 03:24.924
KIDS NOT GOING TO SCHOOL.

03:24.925 --> 03:26.691
HOUSES OF WORSHIP NOT OPEN, YOU

03:26.693 --> 03:28.405
NAME IT, AND THEN OUR COURT

03:28.407 --> 03:29.640
SYSTEM HASN’T BEEN FUNCTIONING

03:29.641 --> 03:30.784
UNTIL RECENTLY, ALL BECAUSE OF

03:30.785 --> 03:31.358
THE CORONAVIRUS.

03:31.392 --> 03:32.586
LET’S BE CLEAR.

03:32.588 --> 03:35.007
FOR THE LAST SIX PREVIOUS YEARS,

03:35.008 --> 03:36.429
CRIME WAS GOING DOWN STEADILY IN

03:36.464 --> 03:37.239
NEW YORK CITY.

03:37.240 --> 03:39.218
SAFEST BIG CITY IN AMERICA.

03:39.252 --> 03:40.303
WHAT CHANGED IT?

03:40.338 --> 03:41.959
A PANDEMIC THAT KNOCKED OUT SO

03:41.993 --> 03:43.728
MUCH OF THE LIFE OF THIS CITY

03:43.762 --> 03:45.873
AND JUST CREATED CRISIS AFTER

03:45.874 --> 03:47.318
CRISIS, BUT WE’RE STARTING TO

03:47.319 --> 03:48.220
COME OUT OF THAT.

03:48.221 --> 03:49.852
NYPD IS DOING A GREAT JOB.

03:49.853 --> 03:51.017
THEY HAVE GOTTEN THEIR GUN

03:51.019 --> 03:52.253
ARRESTS UP TO THE SAME LEVEL AS

03:52.287 --> 03:52.961
LAST YEAR.

03:52.995 --> 03:54.200
THEY’RE WORKING MORE CLOSELY

03:54.201 --> 03:55.392
WITH COMMUNITIES TO ADDRESS

03:55.394 --> 03:56.710
VIOLENCE ISSUES THAT ARE LARGELY

03:56.711 --> 03:57.558
GANGS AND CREWS.

03:57.593 --> 03:59.042
WE’RE GOING TO PUSH THAT BACK,

03:59.077 --> 04:00.653
AND WE’RE GOING TO GET THE COURT

04:00.687 --> 04:01.870
SYSTEM BACK, AND THE THINGS THAT

04:01.905 --> 04:02.862
WILL HELP US DO IT.

04:02.863 --> 04:03.862
WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

04:03.863 --> 04:05.052
SHOULD BE DOING IS SAYING HOW

04:05.054 --> 04:06.491
CAN WE HELP YOU DO THAT?

04:06.525 --> 04:08.642
THE ANSWER IS GIVE US A STIMULUS

04:08.677 --> 04:10.947
SO WE CAN STABILIZE AND HAVE THE

04:10.948 --> 04:12.234
WORKFORCE WE NEED TO FIGHT BACK

04:12.268 --> 04:12.921
AND RECOVER.

04:12.955 --> 04:15.244
IT’S AS SIMPLE AS IT COULD BE.

04:15.245 --> 04:16.536
GIVE US THE SUPPORT WE NEED.

04:16.537 --> 04:17.381
WORK WITH US.

04:17.382 --> 04:19.606
WE HAVE THE FINEST POLICE FORCE

04:19.607 --> 04:20.491
IN THE COUNTRY.

04:20.526 --> 04:23.609
SUPPORT US TO GET THIS CITY BACK

04:23.643 --> 04:24.950
ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

04:24.952 --> 04:26.295
>> SO POLICE ORGANIZATIONS WILL

04:26.296 --> 04:27.745
SAY THAT PART OF THE REASON THAT

04:27.746 --> 04:29.808
CRIME IS UP IS BECAUSE THERE HAS

04:29.809 --> 04:31.051
BEEN A CUT IN FUNDING TO THE

04:31.052 --> 04:31.532
NYPD.

04:31.533 --> 04:34.025
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?

04:34.059 --> 04:35.315
>> THIS PREDATES ANY FUNDING

04:35.349 --> 04:35.803
DECISIONS.

04:35.837 --> 04:37.964
THAT’S JUST THE TRUTH.

04:37.998 --> 04:40.644
THE PERFECT STORM I MENTIONED

04:40.678 --> 04:42.160
STARTED IN MARCH AND APRIL.

04:42.195 --> 04:43.919
WHEN EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN, AND

04:43.920 --> 04:46.597
WE SAW THE VIOLENCE START IN

04:46.598 --> 04:48.296
EARNEST MAY INTO JUNE.

04:48.297 --> 04:51.142
INTO JULY, AND IT’S CLEARLY

04:51.177 --> 04:52.411
BECAUSE THINGS CAME UNGLUED.

04:52.445 --> 04:54.640
NYPD IS OUT THERE WORKING WITH

04:54.674 --> 04:55.836
WHAT THEY HAVE.

04:55.871 --> 04:57.935
WE’RE ALL DEALING WITH IT, EVERY

04:57.936 --> 04:59.243
AGENCY IS DEALING WITH A TIGHTER

04:59.278 --> 05:00.907
BUDGET BECAUSE WE’RE IN THE

05:00.941 --> 05:02.388
MIDDLE OF A FISCAL CRISIS ON TOP

05:02.422 --> 05:03.747
OF EVERYTHING ELSE.

05:03.749 --> 05:05.994
WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE

05:06.028 --> 05:07.084
SUPPORT WE DESERVE FROM

05:07.085 --> 05:08.605
WASHINGTON TO HAVE MORE HELP OUT

05:08.639 --> 05:10.734
THERE, TO DO MORE, BUT LET’S BE

05:10.769 --> 05:13.768
CLEAR, THE ORIGINAL CAUSE OF ALL

05:13.769 --> 05:16.087
THIS IS ALL OF THE EFFECTS OF

05:16.089 --> 05:16.769
THE CORONAVIRUS.

05:16.803 --> 05:18.302
>> SO LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING

05:18.303 --> 05:18.915
VERY DIRECT.

05:18.950 --> 05:21.652
IF YOU GOT MORE MONEY FROM THE

05:21.653 --> 05:23.093
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OR FROM

05:23.094 --> 05:25.860
ALBANY, RIGHT NOW, WHERE WOULD

05:25.861 --> 05:28.897
THAT MONEY GO AND HOW WOULD IT

05:28.899 --> 05:30.942
HELP TAMP DOWN, CLAMP DOWN ON

05:30.976 --> 05:32.025
THIS INCREASED GUN VIOLENCE

05:32.059 --> 05:34.047
WE’RE SEEING IN THE CITY?

05:34.048 --> 05:37.511
>> FIRST THING I WOULD DO IS NOT

05:37.546 --> 05:39.551
HAVE TO DO THE LAYOFFS OF 22,000

05:39.552 --> 05:40.922
PUBLIC WORKERS.

05:40.957 --> 05:43.266
THAT’S FOLKS FROM THE NYPD AND

05:43.300 --> 05:44.950
PUBLIC HEALTH AND EDUCATION.

05:44.984 --> 05:46.500
YOU NAME IT.

05:46.501 --> 05:48.591
I COULD STABILIZE THIS CITY BY

05:48.625 --> 05:50.374
HAVING THE ABILITY TO KEEP OUR

05:50.409 --> 05:51.632
PUBLIC WORKFORCE STRONG.

05:51.633 --> 05:54.160
IF I HAD ADDITIONAL RESOURCES, I

05:54.161 --> 05:56.385
WOULD INVEST EVEN MORE IN PUBLIC

05:56.386 --> 05:57.813
SAFETY, BOTH THROUGH POLICING

05:57.847 --> 05:58.602
AND THROUGH COMMUNITY-BASED

05:58.637 --> 05:59.765
SOLUTIONS BECAUSE WE HAVE

05:59.766 --> 06:01.559
EXTRAORDINARY THINGS LIKE THE

06:01.560 --> 06:02.808
CURE VIOLENCE MOVEMENT,

06:02.809 --> 06:04.423
COMMUNITY PEOPLE STOPPING

06:04.424 --> 06:06.017
VIOLENCE AS CIVILIANS IN THEIR

06:06.018 --> 06:06.785
OWN COMMUNITIES.

06:06.786 --> 06:08.398
THERE’S SO MUCH WE COULD DO.

06:08.399 --> 06:10.107
BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT I CAN DREAM

06:10.108 --> 06:11.174
ABOUT RIGHT NOW.

06:11.176 --> 06:13.109
BECAUSE KATY, I’M TRYING TO STOP

06:13.111 --> 06:14.733
THE LAYOFF OF TENS OF THOUSANDS

06:14.734 --> 06:16.153
OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING THIS

06:16.188 --> 06:17.295
WORK RIGHT THIS MINUTE AND ARE

06:17.296 --> 06:18.561
HOLDING THE LINE.

06:18.595 --> 06:21.231
THAT’S THE CLEAR AND PRESENT

06:21.232 --> 06:21.851
DANGER IN THIS CITY.
