1:40 pm
being taken off the streets in their apartment building always and 80 million in citibank accounts, i don't think there's any question that any mayor here would be free from being attacked by donald trump. what's more important is a mayor who will write back and that's what i will do. i am donald trump's worst nightmare is a progressive immigrant who fights for the things i believe in and the difference between myself and andrew cuomo is my campaign is not funded by the billionaires who put donald trump in d.c. how to pick up a phone, i have to pick up the phone more than 20000 new yorkers who intuited an average duration of about $80 to bring fundraising second-place. >> is very good on twitter but produced nothing and accused me of lying and also called president obama liar.
1:41 pm
take everything with a grain of salt donald trump would go through like a hot knife through butter. twenty-seven minutes and past bills and that's all he's done and no experience with washington or new york city. becomes the light is true is with corrupt trump billionaires from the my campaign, i have experience with party politics but i do have experience with 450 million for thousands of working-class drivers and delivering -- >> thank you. you presented yourself as a tough talking resistor but as mayor, you are expected to deliver including this how can you do that if you are always at war with the president? >> went donald trump and elon musk sold at 80 million from the

1:44 pm
the question is whether or not it is political congressional testimony wasot truthful, now tt you have hadad time to reflect think that report that undercounted? >> there's no doubt biden administration produce the report and it did not undercounted that's. >> saying you were not involved. >> it's very clear, the modified during his trump reelection. the new york report always counted the number of death where they occurred. nursing home or in a hospital. >> we have to move m on. we will have m a lot more time n that. >> holland. do you acknowledge the deaths? it's black and white. did you like to congress? he still won't answer your

1:46 pm
former governor cuomo has as well. as mayor, what experience can you bring to the table? to the people watching at home who are afraid to send their children to school and the families afraid to show up to court proceedings and agents people doing the right thing, i want to speak to you in this moment because you are not hearing that communication, you're not hearing about a mayor that will stand up and have a backbone to stand up for our city. two undocumented immigrants came here forcu opportunity. my parents could make me to school, they did take me to the hospital without fear of deportation because they knew the city would have their back and that's the kind of mayor i'm going to be, one that stands up when necessary. of course we will work with the president in the best interest of the city but demonstrated his he is not o interested in helpig the city. we have to grow so we can be independent from the federal government and that's
1:47 pm

1:48 pm
smart are taxpayer dollars are our leverage is. >> fighting trump has been of yourur campaign, is there any place trump wants you would be for something the city? >> this is why it's so critical to elect america with real experienceen and understanding states. donald trump is hell-bent on this them off the streets, but also want them to destroy everything in america and the city. when he was coming after his, i managed for billing dollars for fossil fuel. i the visit from the manufacturers. he didn't slow me down, he's
1:49 pm
picking up right now need a mayor who will put aside 1 billion a mayor going to insist that the banks and the next controller comes to the table and strategize how we have a plan the city congressional elections. no one has more. >> , but the question is, if you want something in exchange, what you give it toe him ask. >> i am not with rope quote with them. i'm going to organize same thing in the days new york, the business community and thehe vertical to the congressional leadership and organize the city and the city government protect the epicenter of this national economy. >> thank you. we are going to move m on in the question, cuban blessing the trump administration since 2016
1:50 pm
when you reported the devil, a mayor, how can you make a deal with him when making a deal with the devil? >> i've been fighting trump as long before then she came down the escalator ten years ago this month. democrats when we let ourselves defined by the far left the police nonsense. one area i do agree with trump is when a socialist on here tweets nypd will get and dismantle nypd that's madness causing elections double in the last three elections 17% and 30%. we got to move away from this,
1:51 pm
and i want to be very clear a critical role to play public safety and when i speak to those officers rank and file, i hear from them to frustration when they torn, we are asking them to play the role of mental health professionals and social workers and that's why we put forward a plan to create a department of community safety that will tackle gun violence and homelessness and mental health crisis. >> a moment when we have a candidate to myta right is characterizing anything we put forward. >> he has not deleted a tweet calling the nypd wicked dismantle the nypd is still up. >> thank you. >> and leadership of the national democratt party in the
1:52 pm
white house struggling to recruit, how does it affect the it comes to negotiating with, president trump as w mayor? >> the only person on the stage part of a team that's defeated donald trump and as a black man who understands trump goes after black folk and we will win, i have the experience of what's happening in new york city. anytime t trump and elect trying to take our funds and withhold taxes specifically working contracting new york city, he will not provide by this behavior, and second, we will advice at our schools and places of worship because there is no reason ice is going after our immigrants. what has experience with obama as well asng what's happening aa community leader need to understand there's someone right now new york city, he you've
1:53 pm
heard people not be able to answer the questions saying they can represent you. i'm ready from day one because of what i have. the white house to the statehouse your house. >> thank you. the most powerful campaign supporter attorney letitia james, archrival, president trump. how would you ensure you and new yorkers are not cattle of their work? >> you mentioned attorney general, she is the most notorious attorney general new york and theer nation has ever seen she does endorse me. when the name donald trump comes up but the first thing the advice i get from the attorney general is when donald trump comes your way and causes problems for new yorkers, show him that's what i'm doing right now. we have executive order that is illegal eric adams first deputy mayor and would allow ice to
1:54 pm
come to rikers island which has been illegal since 2014. i have a temporary restraining order in our case has merit in new york were open. i will always be on their part immigrants. price has no place on rikers island and donald trump has no place showing people taking their states, no right. >> let's turn to public safety concern for new yorkers, especially underground for so many new yorkers rely on to get to new york, fewer robberies but many new yorkers simply don't feel safe on the subways. we'd like to know what plan each of you have to change that. thirty seconds and we will change the order.
1:55 pm
>> thank you for the question. right now we want to make sure recruit and retain police officers and why i'm offering a week force housing to make sure we help them be able to keep new york city the home and attract them here. i want to increase entry level pay and stop investing taxpayer dollars in global cups and toys and actually think about the officers themselves, but we have to assess deployment and mental health emergency. >> i think -- i take the train every single day and i took the train to this debate. things are different on our subways. people tell you shouldn't believe what you are experiencing in the numbers are down to feel more safe but that's how people tune out of politics. here's what i d want to do. i want police and commissions 24/7, 150 of them throughout the
1:56 pm
city. i want to ensure everyone feel safe no matter what neighborhood they are in, and ensure we do that on my first day. >> time. thank you. your plan to makee the subways safer. >> part of it is we have to admit what we did wrong. people on the stage without exception defund the police dismantle the police and reduce police by 3000, one billing dollars overtime they are calling for more police. we would need more police if we didn't defund them in the p firt place. my first 30 days, i will take hold of every homeless person off the train in the subway stations and get them the help they need. we did before and can do it again. >> thank you. >> he literally said defund the police when he was governor. we are going to fact check in. >> we will get to that.
1:57 pm
>> i never supported the the police are you saying never said defund police? >> i'm not saying i didn't say theve word, i never supported i. >> you just said -- connected you say that? be think about something about those are legitimate schools of thought. defund or don't defund. >> i disagree mike you did. >> i would still like to respond. >> i fully support of of the increase presence. transit crime is down this year and shouldn't be -- i shouldn't have to say this, but the key to reducing crime is fully staffed
1:58 pm
police out there enforcing the law make crime illegal and this is now happening on the subways where they are starting to enforce lower-level crimes drinking and smoking and the whiteout over house and police are arresting more and it turns out 30% of the people they are arresting have criminal records. >> in my department, we are going to put together predicate it came to mental health workers the.to the top 100 highest levelson of health crises and we are going to address this be on the same idea the her time and time again in the same politicians by andrew cuomo who brought us and if we care about the police force, but we have to listen to police officers. they are leading this course, 200 a month you asked why, it's
1:59 pm
because of course overtime don't feel safe our young women, mothers and grandmothers. that's the greatest back too public safety. pacifically your question, i've said typically we need 1000 mental health professionals on our subways and streets so you could have police body cameras on the outside. the police will take they were not trained. let's utilize those who need the help p immediately. if we take those steps and help make sure. >> we are going to move onto everybody but i want to get the opportunity to respond to the allegations in your administration. >> people watching at home, i feel incredibly b frustrated. they defund the police, they are
2:00 pm
not saying more police and we need mental health experts to address the homeless do that by getting them off the train so we can assess them and get them into mental health. >> , andrew cuomo would not have had a chance. every woman walking tonight, he was just given a chance actually address their claims dated and ignored it. >> we do have to move on. ... we aren't moving on. we are moving on. mr. stringer please tell us your subway safety plan pick kids comments grown-up time to give me a second mom explain this out to you.
2:01 pm
in a generation we need cuts, in order to get them, we need to go into the communities to get wonderfully diverse people to get into the peak of the crisis we have is twofold, it's not just about policing but he helping the people who suffer from the illness be stuck we have to align policing with loopholes you didn't even need, that is something that really closes >> to address the claim that everybody calls for defund, i have never called for defunding the police that i never will be in a 2021 budget of the city council we were in a season of covid and many agencies had to be reallocated. the city counsel our funding
2:02 pm
would be delivered. the public safety agenda calls for police to be taken out of social work. and mental health. or the police to be paid what they are worth, we've always supported a budget that reinforces our police department. >> the question is about looking forward your subway safety plan. >> i have a dear friend whose middle school daughter was pushed to the ground by a homeless person with serious mental illness. this is a big deal for all of our families would just why i had ready on day one detail clear plant and street homelessness with people with serious mental illness we don't have to be a city where a couple thousand of our mentally ill neighbors cycle to the hospital to jail, it will work. i have to go back because in the prior round, the former governor told a lie source from twitter about my wife and when
2:03 pm
i go home tonight and better be able to make clear 100% false. >> thank you. >> thank you. okay we are going to move on. [multiple speakers] >> we are going to try to get as much in as we can. >> if you don't lie about my wife i will be good. >> we are all familiar what it's like to try to buy toothpaste, beauty products, the local drugstore and have to wait to be unlocked. shoplifting is a sad fact of life in the city right now. many of our law enforcement blames bail reform since most shoplifters can no longer be held in jail. they get arrested, they most often receive a ticket to appear in court and usually released to steal again. that's how law enforcement described it again and again so we have a few specific questions and you are going to have 30 seconds to answer, mr. cuomo, we will start with you because you signed the bill in
2:04 pm
legislation, governor hochul has made some changes since you did that, do you think bail reform is working and how would you stop shoplifting and other low-level repeat crimes? 3>> just to go back, mr. landers says his office didn't approve 500,000 contracts, that his deputy approved affiliated with his wife's organization. >> every word a lie. >> the deputy reports to him. >> every word a lie. >> it's easy enough to check. >> mr. cuomo, you are using your time. you dshave 30 seconds. >> on bail reform, we all talk about how terrible rikers island is. and it is. it's a disgrace that it still being operated by the ercity. >> your time is up, mr. cuomo, i'm sorry. >> per person. >> the time is up, i'm sorry. mr. miley, you voted for bail reform, how would you stop shoplifters if you are the mayor and other low-level crimes taking a toll on the city.
2:05 pm
>> anybody who breaks the law need to be held accountable. he made changes to our criminal justice laws because things needed to change. here's how i know. i was robbed with my mom in an elevator in the building i grew up in. when i was very young. her worldview was informed by that experience. we have to ensure that every new yorker feels safe in every neighborhood wherever they are and that's what i'm going to do as mayor. to return the police headcount to what it was in 2018 and i'm going to ensure that all new yorkers feel safe swherever th are. >> thank you. >> you voted for bail reform, how would you stop shoplifters and other low-level crimes to take a toll on the city. >> we have a little more than 1000 trecidivists in the city new york, i've been hard at work in the senate already making sure that we are looking at treatment courts in cases of kleptomania. but clearly there are organized rings that need to be taken
2:06 pm
down by the nypd. there is accountability to be had. but we also have to make sure there is a balance with the job opportunities that should open up if we address all the crises we are facing. >> remember you voted for bail reform. >> you do not want to hire more about the current authorized levels, how would you stop shoplifters and the repeat offenders? >> i want to sustain the headcount that we have in the police department i want to listen to police officers who are leaving in droves from the department because they are asking they are being asked to do the work of mental health professionals and social workers become right now police officers pick up hundreds of phone calls a day that her mental health crises hundreds of thousands a year. that's not the work they signed up to do. when it comes to shoplifting and retail fast. the workers have spoken time and time again about increased staffing in walgreens and when
2:07 pm
it comes to organized we have to ensure the police hold them accountable. >>. >> mr. blake, do you . see a ne for change to the bail reform and how would you and the rebuild as mayor. >>. >> i probably support it when i was in the assembly because police rumbles my constituent. we need to make it different and stronger now. to your question, that means we needed hold repeat offenders more accountable. of the broader dynamic, if we hope new yorkers make and keep money in the pocket that's why we have to help people in the front and. do you see any need for any further changes to the states bail laws and have you tackle retail theft as mayor.
2:08 pm
and then having to push a button wait 10 minutes for a young staffer whose job is not to be the personal shopper. that's why we need cops on the beat to root out the people who are constantly coming back to do this. we have to make sure the people doing hathe stealing also have opportunities to get them the housing and the services they need. we have to walk and chew gum at the same time. >> just a yes or no, do you see a need for further changes to the state bail laws. >> i think right now it's been changed a couple times, when cuomo signed it he didn't do the work of a mayor or governor. >> yes or no question. we are going oto move on. moving on. miss adams, same question, do you see a need for changes in the states bail laws and how you plan to tackle the laws.
2:09 pm
>> we need to take a look at the ringleaders at the higher levels of the folks that are carrying and actually doing the stealing. low-level criminals are wasting away on rikers island. some have committed suicide under this current administration. we need to do as far as public safety, i will fill over 200,000 vacancies within the nypd in my first eight months since may. we have vacancies to fill. this will twork, this is what nypd needs, better management. >> mr. landon, you see a need for change in the bail reform, what would you do as mayor about the retail theft. >> i have a detailed plan to combat retail theft, the toothpaste is not always behind lock and key. to develop that i took lessons from nypd commissioner jonathan kadesh, who i want to keep us commissioner. because crime is coming down and accountability is going up.
2:10 pm
it involves giving a panic button to retail stores so they don't have to call 911, they can report quickly, investigations can be thorough. have taken the idea from the conservative manhattan institute that drug treatment courts need to be central. >> the retail worker safety act, the panic buttons, and mental health bill expansion. >> thank you. sally, you had a quick question. >> quick show of hands who else would d keep jessica tisch as,: as police commissioner. >> have decided. >> said he would cut crime by 50% theft, what can you do to tackle the low-level crimes? >> i do very much believe we need to make substantial changes to bail reform and discovery reform, both went too
2:11 pm
far. we basically decriminalized low-level crimes. shocker, it riwent way up. now we need more police officers enforcing the law. and we need to change legislation, so prosecutors can actually punish repeat offenders. i just talked to a cop here in midtown north, last week, who told me they are down from 300 cups to 120 and they have developed so much paperwork when they make an arrest that the criminals are back on the street before they finish the paperwork. >>. >> now we are going to talk about e-bikes. icycle deaths in the city had reached record highs in recent years with injuries surging, many involving e-bikes. in the past hour mayor adams announced a plan to impose a 15 mile per hour limit on e-bikes do you believe this is the right way to impose safety and what else would you do, miss adams, you have 30 seconds.
2:12 pm
>> a lot of the e bike riders are people that deliver food to our homes. they have families as well. i believe there needs to be a closer look, which we are doing on the city counsel, but we have to be careful. >> there's regulation with 50 miles per hour. >> as the mayor normally does he does not collaborate with the city counsel. we've got to go upstream to the folks that are causing this, huber eats and door ^ need to be held accountable for the trips where they are making
2:13 pm
money. you can operate a car dealership that sells cars without iclicense plates to people without driver's licenses because we got to hold the sellers of mopeds accountable, motor vehicles. they need to be treated that way. they've got to have licenses. they've got to have license plates. they have to operate safely. >> we have to end of the criminalization of our delivery workers and bicycle riders. a lot of ntenforcement has changed from civil summonses to all tickets and that's leaving breadcrumbs for i.c.e. and leaving many of our community members vulnerable. that being said, it's high time that we post speed limits and adapt our streets designed for use of bikes and e-bikes. the fact is, we have to get them off the sidewalk. we have .to make sure they are abiding by the rules. this is why we need public education in english, in spanish, and all the languages of our writers. >> there's no question things feel different on our streets.
2:14 pm
and these categories of vehicles are not built for the current structure in the streets. we have to regulate we have to hold the companies that are making money more accountable on this but we also have to ensure we are doing this in collaboration in a smart way and ensuring that the enforcement on this is going to be going through what we've seen is uneven enforcement in the space and that's why there are older adults in the city that are afraid to cross the street because of how things feel. >> i think this is another example of dysfunctional city management. we passed the state law allowing e-bikes to be regulated by the city. you have all sorts of accidents and warnings, the city has done nothing. the speed has to come down. city bikes voluntarily came down to 17 miles per hour. you have the e-bikes, some about 25 to 30 miles an hour, you have to bring down the speeds but you also have to have them egregistered by that.
2:15 pm
those are the ones making the money. let them pay the tickets. >> this issue is actually quite personal to me because i ride my bike in the city every day and i will bet i'm the only male candidate in history whoever rode his bike to the mayoral debate as i did this evening. e-bikes have made things a lot more dangerous, not just for pedestrians,. i've been calling to speed limit ethem. since the beginning of my campaign. in the past couple months, since police started issuing citations, the e-bikes are behaving themselves a lot more. i see a lot fewer blowing through red lights. >> let's remind you, these are the people taking most of them to your offices and homes. >> i find it ridiculous when we need to regulate apps this is the very mayoral candidate who has a super back seat $1
2:16 pm
million from door ãhow even a regulate door dash when they're giving you b& this model, this economic model is one that doesn't just incentivize e bike riders to break street safety laws, it often requires them ã ¦ >> mr. cuomo, do you want to respond? >> yes, i work with the people of the state of new york, people of the city of new york, i don't care who gave me what. i do what is right. >> you don't feel compromised? >> i just said, the apps should be held responsible. they are the ones who should have the license the bike, register the bike, responsible for fees. >> thank you mr. cuomo. [multiple speakers]
2:17 pm
>> that something we spent 20 years never trying to get to again. >> thank you. you are writing a new book
2:18 pm
about how to take 1-2-3. >> brief response. >> they are talking about expenditure committee, let's remember who represents who. i am the person on the stage who represents the working men and women in new york city, the labor unions have endorsed me over 650,000 strong. [multiple speakers] >> we have another question for you, we would like 30 seconds, you've all spent years in politics. what's your biggest regret? >> right now nit's dealing wit the campaign-finance board who have now admitted in akwriting four times that they made incorrect determinations on the
2:19 pm
matching funds. >> biggest regret in your years of politics. >> as democrat one of my regrets of having trust of the leaders within our own party leaders like andrew cuomo. because what we've seen is that the leadership has delivered us from this point where we are under attack by an affordability crisis on the inside and the trump administration on the outside. democrats are tired of being told by leaders from the past that we should continue to simply wait our turn. >> my biggest regret that i didn't see joe biden's decline and call for him to resign earlier it wasn't until after the debate when i became the loudest voices publicly calling on him bto step aside. unfortunately by then it was
2:20 pm
too late and we handed donald trump the presidency. >> mr. cuomo, your regrets. >> the democratic party got to a point we allowed mr. trump to be elected. we've got to a point where rhetoric has no connection with reality. the person who served in government for several years only passed three bells. believes they have the experience and credentials to run the greatest city on the earth. and the democratic party seems okay with that. >> the question about your personal regret. >> i regret the state of the democratic party that we reelected truck. >> no regrets what comes to cutting medicaid or healthcare for no regrets when it comes to cutting childcare. no regrets when it comes tto pp and vaccination in the season
2:21 pm
of covid for black and brown communities. [multiple speakers] >> medicaid went up under me, i lead the nation under covid, i pushed president trump to give us and everything he had. [multiple speakers] >> mr. cuomo, i'm sorry but i'm sure people at home must be wondering about your answer to this question because we speak to voters throughout the city and quite a few of them will say, i'm not sure exactly what happened with the sexual harassment cases. we know that you say you never sexually harassed anybody. you say you're running to restore efficient government and efficient leadership in the past it came with what more
2:22 pm
than one investigation included a toxic work environment, especially for women. some of the cases are still ongoing. since we are talking about regret, you have apologized to some of the women back when you were still governor. what you say to voters now looking ahead to your potential mayoral team. are you doing anything differently and why should they believe the same situation won't happen again? >>. >> i said at the time that it was political and it was false. five district attorneys, democratic, republicans, short, tall, all across the state they found absolutely nothing. one case has been resolved. and was dropped from that case. i said at the time that if i offended anyone, it was unintentional. but i apologize.
2:23 pm
and i say that today. >> there was also a justice department investigation. that we will move on because we are out of time. >> we also want everyone to respond. what's your biggest regret in politics? >> i regret not having secured more funding for afterschool earlier in my career but i want to turn to andrew because b& i have 30 seconds. when i was in the icu during covid to protect my community you are the most powerful person in the state you were in the governor's mansion taking $5 million deal. do you regret taking the 5 million and will you get it back? >> first of all, that's not true. i stood up every day and fought for this state for covid against president trump, for ppe, for masks, i was in the emergency room. >> gentlemen [inaudible] [multiple speakers]
2:25 pm
>> welcome back of the second hour of the first democratic primary debate for new york city mayor. i'm joined by my colleague melissa russo, sally goldenberg, senior new york editor for politico. telemundo 47 acre rosella. we are streaming live on nbc new york and telemundo, politico.com, we are also live on youtube. candidates, with all of us on stage, so many wanted to give voters a chance to hear as much as they can. we are going to pick up, mr. cuomo, given a chance to what mr. miley said and then we will resume with ms. ramos and mr. lander and ms. adams to talk about the biggest regret in policies. >> briefly, we led the way under covid.
2:26 pm
everyday i got non tv, i informed new yorkers of exactly what was going on at all the facts and i was fighting trump for the covid, for the ppe. there was no doubt that in the beginning there was ppe and people were using garbage bags. when the first phase past, we got to the first phase i regret not running for mayor in 2020 1:00 p.m. i had been in the senate for two years. i already passed over a dozen bills. i thought i needed more experience. but it turns out you just need to make good videos. >> i was the champion for the gowanus producing 8000 homes in
2:27 pm
my district. i wish i had pushed for even more housing. because we need it. let's be clear, sexually harassed 13 women, marked up the state health department has forced taxpayers to send $60 million it's absolutely nothing. >>. [multiple speakers] >> the report was done, five das nothing has come of it. in terms of paying legal fees. the controller knows it because he was sued 15 times in the city paid the bill. he was sued by parents of the disabled, he was sued by homeless providers. they said he didn't do anything about the asafety condition.
2:28 pm
>> x every one of those things is false. the thing about my wife was sourced from twitter? i have no idea where he got this. he's live so many times on this stage. >> obviously my biggest regret is fbelieving that eric adams would be a good mayor for all new yorkers. i've had to restore budget cuts. had to save pre-k and our libraries, our cultural institutions, the mayor of the city of new york asthought it w his job to cut all of those slice and dice the livelihoods of our children, cultural institutions, elders and seniors through their library services and food services as well. i had to be the champions to make sure that all of the services were restored to the people of the city.
2:29 pm
>> i would say that the biggest regret from a policy perspective was when my mom died of covid before her time, she was a great t trailblazer, the first woman elected city council to washington heights back in the day, she was a real fighter but she lost the fight of covid. i really wish before i left the controller's office that like with so many other issues, i was able to. >> a very important issues, were going to talk about immigration. as we know, president trump wants to abolish sensory cities like new york. the administration has applied pressure to force cooperation on deportation. so to understand that a little bit more, were going to give you a couple of scenarios. hypothetical scenarios.
2:30 pm
you will have a minute to answer this. mr. cuomo, will begin with you. or the federal government is going to withhold millions of dollars in funding. >> i've gone through this with mr. trump before. you cannot give into mr. trump and his demands. you cannot. >> let's say he's cutting funding. it will never end. if you given to him, he is a bully, i know him well, if you give into him today, you will be giving him your lunch money for the rest of your life. >> what's the solution? >> you have to fight him and the way you fight him is not by suing him. yes of course sue him but he gets to 10 times before he gets out of bed in the morning. doesn't do anything.
2:31 pm
we need a national coalition which we can put together, of like-minded states and cities that will oppose these actions. then we are going to have to eventually beat him politically in the congress but you cannot give into his demands. >> thank you mr. cuomo. >> donald trump throws 50 tweets a day up there and most of the time you ignore him, if he actually does act illegally to try to blackmail us, you have to sue him to restore the funding. i am appalled by what trump is doing to terrorize immigrant communities. demonize general. and that's an area i will fight him tooth and nail. >> our city is under attack by an authoritarian trump at a ministration. is under attack that is now
2:32 pm
being echoed by his allies here in new york city. i say that as somebody who would be the first immigrant mayor of the city and the generations who somebody who just yesterday had sitting elected official called for me to be deported. this is not an intellectual exercise for the people of new york city is that we deserve to have a mayor who is not wanted by the same filling orders that put donald trump in dc is up we deserve to have a mayor who actually fights back. the way to fight back is to ensure our local institutions provide services all. >> how can you protect those people? >> the donald trump administration will use the fact that they funded 7% of our city budget as leverage over us to try to give up whatever categories new yorkers they are pursuing in that day. ultimately, what we need to do is tell the same institutions we will provide the funding and get the funding by taxing the
2:33 pm
1% and the wealthiest corporations here new york city. >> mr. blake, i'm going to remind you the question is, the hospitals are e not going to offer care to immigrants, how can you help this. >> as a son of a jamaican immigrant, my mom is watching right now, my wife was jamaican and honduran, to your question, we create the protections by designating hospitals, schools, community centers, places of worship, as safe havens where i.c.e. is not permitted to enter unless this is signed a judicial warrant moreover we have akto expand the conversation. made it very clear you will remain a sanctuary city to make sure we are protected full stop. we also have to have the rhetoric we will not tolerate rhetoric against our immigrant communities.
2:34 pm
that means at the same time, we have to protect our nonprofits that are helping our immigrants as well, which is why i said you must grant as well as reimburse nonprofits that are helping immigrants and undocumented. >>. >> we first have to make it clear that the bus does not stop with donald trump. if they allow us to build back to health services the federal government could take from us financially. this is why we need a mayor who understanding how we actually get through the trump arrow. my experience has always been about fighting in trump won. we won the battles during covid we never back down but we were strategic. that's why we need to work with our washington partners. there are democrats in washington ready for the fight, the mayor who brings a confidence and proven ability to deal with the economics of the crisis is not a time for somebody who has ever dealt with the city to be mayor of new york.
2:35 pm
>> now miss adams, looking to go to you next. let's say you learn that i.c.e. is planning to stop immigrants outside your hospital or possible roundup. would you warn them? how would you handle the situation i already stepped up and worship to do this because i had a target refused to involve our sanctuary city laws my mission is it's made up of the city of immigrants as i was your own new yorkers, and feel safe in the city. >> what do you warn them? >> i will use my pulpit as the mayor to warren as i'm doing on city counsel speaker on a daily basis become the work i'm
2:36 pm
currently doing i will expand as the mayor of city of new york. donald trump will know that new york will remain essentially city regardless of his threats and chaos. we will stand because we are a city and a nation and we will be the model once again for other you other cities in the country. to take a look at and work with others like new york. >> three specific things i would do. not just the mayor, every new york city employee needs to understand the sanctuary city
2:37 pm
laws. and one people before they walk into i.c.e. i propose creating an independent health authority to segment off city money for medicaid money. want to expand nyc care so it's not just in health and hospitals but in our federally qualified health centers as well. that will make sure we are protected. >> thank you very much. >> help me. who we have to i.c.e. out of our hospitals, out of our schools, out of our houses of worship, out of every public institution and limit cooperation of i.c.e. with the nypd, only when it comes to the 90+ charges under the current sanctuary city law. those are very serious charges. i want to make sure in a panel with so many lawyers, our immigrants have lawyers and are immigrants do what they came here to do.
2:38 pm
work. this is our responsibility it's my responsibility as the mayor of the city of new york to create entry points in the economy to stay busy, provide for themselves and their families. and honor the fabric of the city head of this country, which cannot function in the future will be brighter without our immigrants. >> that sounds like a great plan, but will you use taxpayers money for that? >> yes, this is making sure that we are expanding action nyc and our cooperation with the community-based organizations. the clinics with the law schools and making sure we are on the ground protecting and keeping people their rights. >> this is a just a hypothetical for me. i grew up with pretty severe asthma and both my parents would take me to a city hospital, when i had an asthma attack they were documented that they knew that the city had i would be assuring them that we have bareback right
2:39 pm
now. sanctuary city laws used to not be political. well-known progressive rudy giuliani stood up for sanctuary city laws because he understood what the community meant to our city. i plan on doing the same. this isn't a time for us to give half measures to say maybe under this circumstance in that circumstance, we have to stand up, they are snatching people out of our schools. there snatching people out of our courthouses, we cannot stand for that in this moment i have a front line agenda. i want to go on the offensive i want to utilize the 10th amendment to ensure that we are not carrying out the federal government's immigration policies. we have to stand up in this moment. >> thank you. >> let's move on to another very important topic of the schools. the city spends more tax dollars in public schools or anything else get after shelling out $40,000 a year per student only about half new york city kids can read or do math at grade level.
2:40 pm
only half. bottom line, what do you see as the top reason for that dismal return on the $41 billion a year investment and how you turn it around as mayor? you all have 30 seconds to answer. mr. blake, we begin with you. >> you have to have a better pedagogy on the front and for teachers and educators and families are able to make sure we address the critical issue, that's the reason i left the my brother's keeper program we also have to be clear that against any anti-blackness happening in our schools. something many people don't realize, in 2008 andrew cuomo said that no candidate should shock or jive in an election, clearly barack obama was there, we talk about education it's not about making sure we understand if kids can read but. >> before we moved to mr. mr. cuomo would like to respond? >> that's ridiculous. no. >> is it inaccurate you seven
2:41 pm
2008. >> i never consulted president obama never insulted him. >> not hearing an answer. [multiple speakers] >> in 2008. >> were to move on. you can have 45 seconds to respond to him and please address the question about b. >> we have mr. cuomo who said these words shuck and jive with barack obama wanting to be the president of our country i was planning to resume that the first doors i ever knocked on was for barack obama will behead a candidate here. >> why would you call him a liar. >> he was so allergic to toany accountability or acknowledgment of mistake that he can't even admit he said these kinds of things. as it pertains to public
2:42 pm
education, all the challenges we are facing in our city when it comes to our schools, they are also downstream from the fact that 500,000 of our children are going to sleep hungry every single night. 100,000! for the ninth consecutive year they are now homeless. we need to ensure we have a city where our children can not only have food to eat a place to call their own plentiful implementation. >> i want to remind you, we want to know a solution to the problem in the public school systems at the heart of the question. >> the failure of public schools is exhibit a city government spends way too much and delivers too little. if you're a business person, and i am serving the board of
2:43 pm
the charter schools for more than 20 years and 15 percent of the public schools, the charter schools are held accountable, not surprisingly, [multiple speakers] [multiple speakers] >> working to move on, mr. miry. >> raised education the highest level in anything i understand the point about we need to reform the education system.
2:44 pm
i would start with the doe, they spend hundreds of million dollars on consultants. we don't know what we get. i want a real analysis of the curriculum, new york city reads. we need more power professionals in the school of. an eighth children are homeless. it's too much. >> understood. >> the paraprofessionals. >> thank you. >> i wouldn't be standing on this stage if not for our city's public schools. and went to ps 161, the crown school made my way to cornell law school. quintet in between because they were teachers i got up every single day and put their best foot forward so i could be on the path to success. but we also have to think about what's happening after school. we had learning loss over covid-19 and i want to provide universal actors to help make up for the learning loss i wouldn't be here today if i did have an afterschool program that taught me karate even though i was terrible. >> thank you mr. myers. >> i want to get back to every single kid.
2:45 pm
>> we are out of time or to move on. >> now i have to shout out ps to some of the irs 10 and the academy of american studies in astoria. i wouldn't be here without them and my children wouldn't be where they are in middle school in queens if it wasn't for ps 69 in jackson heights. it's true that our children suffered from losses in developmental and social skills throughout the pandemic. i've seen s tit. i want to make sure we are delivering on teacher centers so teour teachers have more supports. >> thank you.we are looking for asolution oriented answers. >> both of our kids pre-k to 12 the new york public city
2:46 pm
schools. >> we raised four children in the public school system so i am that every same new yorker that knows what it feels like. we know the doe has the highest budget of all city agencies. what i would do would be to redeploy resources. i've seen as mayor i will have full view in order to help all of our children get bureaucracy and get the children the right. >> mr. stringer. >> my sons max and miles are going to public middle school as we speak. challenge for them is covid
2:47 pm
kids it's really real, there's a lot of kids out there that need help and they need it now they need mental health services. extra tutoring. i ordered the department of education more than any controller in history,, found missing computers. here's what we have to do, childcare. we need an afterschool program that focuses on tutoring and giving kids that don't have parental resources financially help they need. >> thank you. >> thank you sally. we call the next section of the debate, what's in the name. we have three quick questions. will go down the line, starting with mr. stringer. was the most effective democrat in the country? >> not eric adams.
2:48 pm
i would say the most effective democrat right now is hakeem jeffries. >> mr. blake. >> i would say myself because i actually defeated bdonald trum when i was chairing the dmc. >> 㦠>> my old friend cory booker after his 25 hour herculean. >> mr. cuomo. >> hakeem jeffries. >> mr. meyer.>> majority leader andrea stewart cousins. >> ms. ramos. >> maryland governor moore.>> boston mayor michelle wu. >> i would have to say the next speaker would be hakeem jeffries. >> in the primary voters will be ranking you one through five, number one being the top choice for mayor. we break up the order and start with mr. cuomo. assuming you rank yourself number one one the stage where you rank number two? >> the voters. >> he would not put a name. >> i would leave it to the voters. >>. >> i have decided on my number two but i'm in a bz. no disrespect. i think his dpolicies are
2:49 pm
dangerous. >> anybody but cuomo. i will be telling voters who to rank number two before election. >> under the take the andrew cuomo approach and not answer your question. >> were not supposed to make news at these debates. my second choice would be based on who i think would be the second best man on the state. >> i also would say myself, of course, but cwe will not be breaking news on as far as who my number two would be. >> andrew cuomo has shown many times tonight why he should not be anywhere on your balance. >> i think this debate is really good food for thought and will give us all a better idea. hoping to have a better idea before the end of tonight. >> the last one we will start with mr. stringer going around. four years ago in the race for
2:50 pm
mayor, who did you rank first on your balance for the democratic unmarried. >> that was tough. card with my wife and stringer number one. >> my o'reilly, i cochaired a campaign and would be much better right now if my wiley was there. >> eric adams. >> did you live in new york city. >> he said he would have. >> epic about 30 years. >> mr. myers. >>. [inaudible] >> i voted for my wiley. >> my eyo'reilly, kathryn garci. >> my biggest regret was voting for eric adams. >> we are to move on to housing. you all made housing a top priority in your campaign. and as you all know, the city is in a housing crisis with a vacancy rate of just 1.4%.
2:51 pm
we would like you to explain your proposed solutions to the housing crisis and how you pay for it. you have one minute to answer the question. we will begin with you mr. tilson. >> as i discussed about an hour ago, the key i think is to unleash the private sector. it what it stabilize event we have the highest rents in the country, we need to bring them down. i think they could come down by 20%. often demonstrated how to do this in three years. ease zoning restrictions properly staffed the city departments to streamline the process. and overall speed up the process. is taken four years to build start to finish and should take only two. my plan is basically i think the city has we seen the city is no good at building operating housing. saddle unsee proposes 73 $70
2:52 pm
billion of debt this would end up looking like california's high-speed rail project. >> mr. cuomo, how would you try to resolve the housing process and how would you pay for it? >> is a desperate problem. i served as home secretary and build housing literally all across the nation, hundreds of thousands of units. we need to blow up hpd it's an obstacle, the city council is a bottleneck. we have to use faith-based b& w need to use vacant city land. i'm showing i know how to build, look at laguardia airport, the ããbridge, the second avenue subway, i know how to get things done about this election is all about, not plans plans plans, who can get something done.
2:53 pm
>> if you like to briefly respond to that.>> yes i would pick up the former governor's response really does show how disconnected he is to the work of the city. like myself who is currently still in city governance, the only person on this stage actually that has experience of city governance and doing the work city counsel under my leadership right now has already walked 120,000 units of housing for the people of the city of new york so the city counsel is not bottlenecking anything. maybe 10 to 20 years ago when you were a governor that was happening but under my leadership we have a brand-new culture in the city counsel. we are actually working for the people. >> your top solution to the housing crisis, you have one minute to discuss. >> ha ha the opportunity has
2:54 pm
slipped away from too many new yorkers we want to put down roots in the same neighborhood we grew up in. and he walked down bedford avenue everything cost $1 million. who has nine dollars? maybe some of the people on the stage do. i know you watching at home don't like it either. i want to also extend pre-k and 3k from 230 to 6:00 p.m.. i want universal free after school for every kid in the city because it has to be a city where you could raise a family and move everyone to a path to success. >> what is your price tag on this 1 million? >> my plan does not require us
2:55 pm
to raise taxes. reduce the private market in order to build housing. >> property tax reform is at the crux of our affordable housing crisis in the city. i will make sure we help homeowners and landlords bring down their costs. the cost of water has skyrocketed in the past three years under the current ministration. then i want to freeze the lens as rent-stabilized tenant i know how tough it is to be able to keep up with the rent. the rent is too down high wages are to down low in the city. i want to make sure we are housing the 5000 apartments. i want to bring up the corrupt city model so we can attract
2:56 pm
the city services that are needed is that we need more nurses and teachers and doctors need more police officers and firefighters. >> everyone on the stage talks about affordable housing. 16 years before i ever got into elected office with my sleeves rolled up renovating abandoned buildings. and the city counsel i was champion for the alanis redevelopment. save 35,000 units. the signatures failure. i know how to do this. i will declare a housing emergency on day one. including 50,000 units in great new neighborhoods on four of the city's 12 city on golf
2:57 pm
courses. i've already delivered thousands of affordable units to people of the city of new york. when you take a look at innovation queen. largest privately developed structure that's coming up right now i'm heard of. we can look at bronx mitchell north rezoning is that we can look at what we have two weeks ago. yesterday to look at the city for all which will create over 80,000 brand-new affordable units. >> we have to move on.
2:58 pm
>> can you please talk about your housing plan and how you would pay for it. >> first of all the housing crisis is way too real with confronted housing issues in the past. the housing program the greatest integrated housing program in a generation was also built. right now all we do is have luxury developers propose projects that gives us on affordable housing. i want to bend this. get the land to not-for-profit community-based organizations. i can't say to you tonight that anyone has a plan to build a million homes believe what we can do in the next two years. we have to recognize who can best do the work. as borough president.
2:59 pm
>>. >> when we talk about a housing crisis you have to go through the journey. we sold dinner to pay rent in the south bronx. this is not about a report for me this is about reality. we need local median income because area median income is not working. especially to protect the new yorkers. and protects the co-op city or concourse village. then we've got to go a step further republic housing those living in nycha for those who have not helped to have heat and hot water they need to go to jail.
3:00 pm
there not being held accountable to fight for you. only talk about the actual vision of a housing plan to go to blake for nyc.com you see the welcome home vision because we want to make wsure you can afford the home you deserve. >> who are you implying should be going to jail? >> the individuals working at nycha that were a part about bribery scheme unveiled and under covered. >> if you are one of the 2.5 million new yorkers who live in rent-stabilized housing, i will freeze your rent and i will do it because you have a median household income of $60,000 while your landlord profits have increased by 12%. zohran mamdani nearly $7 billion to your pocket and back into the pocket of our local economy. this is what we will do immediately even though there are those like andrew cuomo, who
3:01 pm
would tell you it's unrealistic and we are going to build 200,000 truly affordable homes but the median household income of 70000 while taking on landlords of the real estate andrew cuomo's campaign because ultimately every single person, including the landlord violated housing 800 billing dollars. >> very good at videos but not reality daily news said his plan finance proposal violates the constitutional account of the city of new york and there's no
3:02 pm
way the state is going to pass statewide. >> to consider it realistic. statement after the campus. what is your reaction?
3:03 pm
>> you have to separate issues. i do believe it is a growing problem and i believe the rhetoric about israel inflamed the anti-semitism. that aside, i think it's another overreach of the trump administration now will take over academic universities in this country. he's literally attacking the foundation of democracy and must be opposed. >> your reaction? >> i am appalled by this. first, the failure of columbia and other institutions to adequately act quickly after october 7 attacks on mobs creating a dangerous environment for jewish students.
3:04 pm
my wife and children are jewish. in the trump administration preventative care about anti-semitism. >> another example of gross overreach of the trump administration, one that shown that will continue to pursue but whichever university it is hard to target. collaborate and that is i will be as someone on thought because the donors in the second place in the race are in class new yorkers. >> start from the core on both sides and be clear, we have to
3:05 pm
reject anti-semitism and humanity and what trump is doing and focus on wrestling and one reason and running in this race and barack obama in this local experience we have to makee sure they're not allowing overreach. >> there's no question on these college campuses anti-semitic anti-jewish hate hold them accountable and it goes against everything and everybody thinks the discrimination in the civil rights activist program and work
3:06 pm
together to make all new yorkers deserve, no matter who they are. i validated $18 million to come back combat anti-semitism. in the trump administration terrorizing college students across the country in the mayor who will stand up. donald trump and the spaces on all of this. >> thank you. the frightening time for an
3:07 pm
colorado which i go to a lot of jewish event for got a really detailed plan anti-semites of the time credit harder columbia state. >> no educator and trump has no interest in funding our education. please make them less accessible to students. we have to end up to trump willing to fight back and exactly what he will do as they are jewish students take and
3:08 pm
fighting bigotry at every turn. there's no room for the anti-semitism we are seeing. >> as a clear, unequivocal rising anti-semitism in the city and across the country and ready at out and that's what i'm going to do. about, as part of what makes great. for what they have done in the area of lung the university. >> pro- palestinian protest are
3:09 pm
the trump administration wants to deport khalil in a terrorist group making jewish students less safe on campus so thank you for the foreign policy arrested and detained and the short answer here will begin with you, do you believe mr. khalil? mimic he should be set free in the fact that he is still in louisiana is an abomination and it's clear another example of donald trump organizing anti-semitism to throw palestinian new yorkers into detention facilities. >> i can't answer without knowing all the facts. i certainly looks like another
3:10 pm
