york city and new york state. and that will be very counterproductive in terms of pushing more people out. maria: yeah. i had mayor de blasio on a couple of weeks ago, and he said he needs $7.4 billion right now just to make the city whole. that doesn't include anything you and i is have spoken about, that's just the impact of covid-19. give us the implications of all of this, don. what will that mean in terms of services, in terms of real estate values, in terms of growth for the city if thety can't pay its bills -- if the city can't pay its wills and you're seeing a destruction of process that so much that they move out, what does that mean for the state of new york? >> well, i think it means some very tough choices. unfortunately, the city has had to already -- and the state -- have had to make some tough choices about what summer programs for young people and summer youth programs are being cut. they're going to have to make much more aggressive cuts within the budget to have any chance of solvency. and they a

that is new york at its best. that is the history of new york, right? that is stone wall, that factory fire, that is new york at its best, leading the way. that's what we did when we passed marriage equality and the rest of the country said oh, let's look at that. we passed the bill and went right across the nation. free college tuition, minimum wage, $15 so people can actually live and pay rent and eat, all at the same time. the pest gun safety law in the united states after the sandy hook massacre. carpe momentum. the most aggressive renewable energy program, and we will be the first with the best criminal justice reform. that is the plan for next week. next week on monday, new york city opens, starting phase one. that is great news. you look at the numbers on new york city, they have dropped dramatically. they were at a high of positive testing at 57%. they are now down to 2%. you want to talk about a turnaround? this one, my friends is going to go in the history book. new york was the hardest hit, and in 98 days we have gotten to a much, much differ

i just read in the news yesterday the new york police commissioner apologized for the actions of the new york police department during the stonewall uprising, declaring "the actions and the laws were discriminatory and oppressive." interactions between police officers and the lgbt community has prompted concerns on the police use of force. several surveys found disproportionately high rates of contact between law-enforcement and lgbtq individuals, including police harassment and abuse. the commission took in substantial evidence of these interactions. as much as we regret and call for the end of ongoing discrimination, i am grateful for this opportunity to mark the progress we have made since 1969. to that end, we now welcome historian david carter, who served as no an advisor on the campaign to make the stonewall site a national monument. he has been working on the lgbtq civil rights movement for a quarter century. his book "stonewall" -- mr. carter, we look forward to hearing from you. your microphone is not on. if you will hit the talk button, we will hear you much better. >> than

if you look at the new york police department, it's 92% funded by the city of new york. this is not primarily a matter of congressional funding. what happens when you defund public services is they end up being privatized. andave to unbundle re-militarize and unarmed. serve as traffic controllers, tax collectors, social workers, and a paramilitary force. we have to make sure that in the nearly 20 million instances where police are contacting accidentsin traffic we have a separate we have a separate force. deal with criminal justice, deal with criminal police reform by dean militarizing our police. wehave to rethink how provide housing, how hud works, how the department of education works. we have to desegregate our schools. that is why i am one of the byple who is really excited the true reconciliation commission. not because we do not have to have actionable results but because it goes beyond policing, beyond criminal justice reform. if we want to use this moment to change the destiny of this country, and that is absolutely what we have to do. . what jonathan was trying

i think it was easier for new york. as quickly as it did because we do have a history of encampments here in new york of course most notably occupy wall street but even after that and before that there were smaller encampments you know outside of governor cuomo those office or wells fargo betting during the walk protests. and so there were already i think a network of people who you know how those set of infrastructure who were aware of you know laws like street laws sound laws so that we would be abiding by you know at least some sort of like wallace so that there is no unnecessary reason for the police to escalate. and you know different people all the nearby offering their bathrooms offering there are you know lobbies i think a lot of this was possible because we had already such a good infrastructure so joe support during the protests i mean people even have port a potties that they were able to donate to. so i think my take would be that for other places that might want to take this on or model themselves after you

new york city will have no money. this government cars already, the state of new york, $7 billion behind the eight ball this year before the coronavirus. now they're about 15 billion. people are fleeing. they will not get tax revenue from sales tax, property tax, income tax. all the big cities, l.a. looks like that. chicago looks like that as people leave? is there any way out for them other than, i guess going bankrupt and having to bring in mayors and fiscal conservators who are better with money and smarter about taxation, all that kind of stuff? >> it's, there is no doubt it will be ugly, i think for a lot of those big cities and the more urban states. the other thing though, obviously putting aside all these macro problems you have, when i look at the sort of micro problems, how people get along with one another, it is kind of amazing. in the town like i'm from, town of 1200 people where people have grown tobacco since the beginning of the country, you kind of have to learn to get along with one another. people a

overnight new york city police about officers attacked in new york, two were shot. one stabbed in the neck amid a wave of widespread police violence in the last we 10 days. >> it appears to be a completely cowardly despicable unprovoked attack on a defense was police officer and thank god we are not planning a funeral right now. the men and women of this police department should not have to be stand anymore, not one more. we are all fed up with what we are seeing on many levels. this violence has to stop. >> here to react former new york city police department lieutenant doctor darren porcher. this cop who was stabbed in the neck was just working the anti-looting patrol in the middle of the night, someone came up behind him and did that. when you look at the dozens of instances where law enforcement has been attacked over the last we 10 days police business is really really this time of year during this is really dangerous. >> absolutely and this sends for the president and the department of administration to stand down, the tone hasn't been set appropriately. we cl

so in the first week "the new york times," new york post, new york daily news did all cover the stonewall riots but it was buried knot news. it was not front page news. the voice did major stories and had reporters on the scene even trapped inside of the bar during the riots. and those were much more significant stories but it was really the alternative press and the lgbt press that covers the riots more sympathetically, more comprehensively and those are the stories that historians rely on along with oral histories and police reports and photographs for round out of the picture of what happened those week. >> and one of those the documentary of lilly van vance. our guest is marc stein joining us from greenwich village in new york. also the author of rethinking the gay and lesbian movement and city ofsterly and brotherly love as we talk about stonewall, the riots 50 years ago, a turning point for the lgbtq community. tom is own for the phone from flint, michigan. good morning. >> good morning to both of you gentleman and to all of the viewe viewers. this will be brief. just a little conte

i am the political anchor at new york one. after months of a devastating crisis, the city is now in the middle of days of mass protests seeking police reform as well as several massive unrest involving looting. as we cover these events, we are keeping our eye on the upcoming primary on june 23 for many states including congress for state senate, assembly, the people elected to these offices are grappling with serious issues here and all around the country. tonight, we're holding a

there was looting across new york city. burning in new york when the mayor was in control. this president monday took with that action speech saying if necessary the military is here. urge the national guard. he took action and he sured up d.c. remained peaceful. this president has gone and said he national guard is the next step. that seemed to be working here in new york -- in d.c. e'll see if it continues to work. but rest assured, he has the ole authority to invoke the insurre insurrection act. so to protect americans. one thing to note, and i think it's so important to go back to his, because i haven't seen a ton of coverage of it other than in a few places, and i started it's iefing with this and important. i just want to circle back. lostcaptain david dorn who his life in st. louis and he was killed by a looter. in the st. years louis police department. his wife, ann, is a sergeant metropolitan ouis police department. he's a hero. i also want to note, because 45 officers lost in the line of duty this year, breaks for them. as a new mom myself, my heart particularly b

york's population 1st started new york philadelphia. california. first. it was there as new ways to keep order were introduced laws became tougher since 1928 states have adopted some form of what's known as the 3 strike practice it meant lengthy sentences for repeat offenders even life behind bars the policy came in as the war on drugs peaked which raised further questions of racial targeting at the turn of the century more than half of all inmates serving time for drug offenses in state prisons were black 3 years ago it was still around 30 percent despite only being 13 percent of the population as a whole with both police powers and sentencing increased prison numbers skyrocketed there are more black people than any other racial group behind bars in america something that has not changed under bill clinton george bush or barack obama for every 100000 people in the u.s. sentences for black people a 5 times higher than whites. so law and order it was a response to rioting like the unrest ravaging the united states from coast to coast in

everyday pretty new york times and washington post . dean of the new york times hates donald trump. are not objective. how can you stand before all of your viewers here and saying things like objectiveot news. to balance the new york times, you have got to go to something like the daily columns or summing pretty when you resort to the new york times daily. greta: what we read a myriad of papers, wall street journal also in washington times. two papers that are perceived as conservative. the new yorkie times and washington post, those are national newspapers . would rated them to show you what folks in washington, the decision-makers are reading. so that you know how they are getting their information. you can disagree print were not promoting these newspapers . whatletting you know others are reading. and you can disagree with it and call up and voice your opinion. the washington post this morning

i was a kid in new york and the '60 is in the '70 to sandy '80s. that was a very different time in america than the relative domestic tranquility that we have had for the last generation that has been a revolution in policing leading to a drop in crime across the board, and i think a lot of the a living memory does not understand how easily it can go back to the battle days. that is number one. we have to attack the premise of this whole idea that there is institutional racism, whether it is in the police department or other institutions. i will say that i was a lawyer for a very long time in the criminal justice system, who runs the criminal justice system? progressives. progressive lawyers. who runs the institutions of opinion in america? progressives. i am not a progressive. but i don't doubt that they believe what they say about racial inequality and progress. does anybody really think that they would tolerate systematic racism in the institutions that they run? it's ridiculous. >> martha: stacy, that is what everyone across the country is bein

what was new york like? what was america like, for gay, lesbians, transgender citizens before the stonewall riots? what was it like for the lgbt community? >> well, it's really counterintuitive because there's a common tendency, at least in this country, to assume that the further we go back in history generally the worst things are going to be. but, actually in the whole history of -- and the entirety of u.s. history the '60s and '50s were probably the very worst time for lgbt people. that's because there have been a period of liberalization in the 1920s. we know the 1920s was generally liberal period. but with the great depression coming along, that seemed to begin a clamp down on -- i'm just going to use the term gay people to umbrella and use the term gay people. and then after the war, we entered the, what could be called a red scare. and this i think was the main reason that there was so much more repression after world war ii. so, for example in new york city, the height of arrests of gay men actually

attorney in new. in new york. listen. >> i don't think calls for it are premature any more than the president's were premature. but they are a waste of time at this point. we're instead going to do what we have to do without that and including barring $50 million from husband own personal budget. jon: defunding the attorney general's office? what do you think about that, congressman? >> well, i think if chairman nadler took his job seriously, we would be looking at what attorney general holder and attorney general lynch and director comey and others were doing four years ago to undermine the trump campaign and, ultimately, the trump administration. and we have done none of that. this chairman will not even touch that whole entire issue. and so this is clearly an election year political activity by a chairman who is not going to succeed but hopes that his rhetoric will at least invigorate the left wing of his party. jon: you mentioned -- he mentioned impeaching the attorney general would be, well, that it's essenti

york city mayor michael bloomberg once referred to the new york city police department saying i have my own army and the n.y.p.d. the 7th largest army in the world very well with lots of military equipment the n.y.p.d. certainly does seem like an army of iraq obama rolled back the program after the ferguson protests and national outrage about the militarization of police. 7 back in. however trump has ruled by of the program now many are asking the question why does the department of defense have so much excess gear that it needs to unload anyway the us has been involved in so many words that they become occupations and the military is as developed techniques or operating as an occupying army and they've brought this home they brought the war home after they made by these things and the military you know uses some of them they become surplus or if they don't buy of them all you know the military orders a certain number and then they back out of buying some of it so a lot of the stuff sitting in military warehouses and so they want to get rid of them and basically congress passed a law

about this remember when new york was the hot zone and no one could new york from new york could travel like florida for example was telling new yorkers don't come here because we think you might bring the coronavirus with you now it's flipped new york is telling people from florida don't come here because we think you might bring with you the coronavirus that's why they're putting in certain rules and regulations but how are they going to do this for more on this here now is turn of the child as a new york. we're seeing the number of new coronavirus cases drastically increase across the country governors of connecticut new jersey and new york are taking matters into their own hands issuing a mandatory quarantine for 14 days for any visitors traveling from states with high infection rates and today that water is in full of that new york governor andrew cuomo doubling down if you're violating the quarantine. you can be subject to a judicial order and mandatory quarantine announcing according needed effort to sustain a low local infection rates in connecticut new jersey and new york as co

i'm the political anchor here at new york 1 news. the city is starting to reopen. that comes in the wake of several weeks of unrest driven by mass protests for police reform. we're also keeping our eyes on the primary. that's for many seats, including congress, senate, and queensboro resident. they will be grappling with issues we're dealing with in new york and around the country. we're pleased to offer a democratic emirate debate for the 16th congressional district, covering part of the bronx and lower westchester. here is a map of the district. include co-opt city, woodlawn, riverdale, new rochelle and rye. it is currently held by eliot engel. he is representative since 1989. here are the rules of this debate. we're joined by jamal bowman and attorney chris fink. here are the rules for the debate. you see them on the screen and they have been agreed to by all of the candidates. it is a one minute response and a 30-second rebuttal. we will allow for conversation to take place. you can see the full debate at any time and i want to note we are taping this on tuesda

home patients is five times in new york than that of florida. i'll tell you why. because governor cuomo sent six nursing home patients tested positive for covid back into nursing home environments not ready or prepared. ordered they could not be tested for covid. unlike governor desantis in florida who realized seniors were most vulnerable and went the other direction. elizabeth: you know, to your, hear what you're saying. governor cuomo also signed off on a legal liability shield so people could not sue nursing homes after the industry lobbied him in, you know in albany. here's the thing. he blames cdc guidelines. cdc, i hear what you're saying, cdc is saying our guidelines saying you should have ppe, you should have had inspections, "politifact" is saying, governor cuomo you can't blame federal government, or cdc. you can only blame yourself. >> not a dime of the money congress appropriated in a bipartisan way for testing in cares package has gone into testing for nursing homes in new york. not a dime. he is threatening to cut funding medicaid

the new york times also putting borisjohnson the new york times also putting boris johnson under attack, describing this as liberty before lives, when it comes to these restrictions, these loosening of restrictions, these loosening of restrictions which are coming up on the 4th restrictions which are coming up on the lith ofjuly. quite strong words there from the new york times. yes, and what is important is that this is an opinion piece on the front page of the new york times. this is not a news piece, which is what you would expect on the front page of the paper. it is worth reading out, it says, brexit has propelled the nation to its current calamity. basically, it singles out the prime minister for basically, it singles out the prime ministerfor making basically, it singles out the prime minister for making claims basically, it singles out the prime ministerfor making claims going back to what happened, taking us out of europe, a decision that the new york times obviously disagreed with and the way, it is a critique of the way the boris johnson administration has what it feels misha

new york city's mayor says no way. >> someone needs a history lesson. when outside armed forced go into communities, no good comes of it. >> reporter: today, we asked those protesting peacefully through the streets of new york if they feel safe. >> are they going to protect us? are they gog hit us with rubber bullets? like what, are we going to expect, you know? >> i think ... >> reporter: different cities are taking different approaches. in philadelphia, police are using aggressive tactics to break up some protests, while just across the river in camden, new jersey, a more subtle approach. >> you have to meet with people in the absence of crisis. >> reporter: cam ben county police captain zsakheim james, marching highly visible. >> people have a right to be angry and be angry at the police. we haven't always stood up to our mottoes to protect and serve. >> black lives matter! >> this is a tense moment in our country right now. >> reporter: directly behind me, you can see there are a group of doctors and nurses here. i spoke to one of them. she says aft

york for 12 years and central park as everyone knows is a pivotal and important area of new york city and it's got so mind blowing old history here's now when we go. gentrification it's the reason why you might not see anyone who looks like me in the neighborhood of a major american city or why your city's culture has been reduced to a running club at your local shake shack and why a former new york governor candidate who looks like he moved lights as santa clause at a very progressive malt repeatedly said right. and if you're a native new yorker from burroughs like brooklyn and queens you've seen your neighborhoods term whiter than the poop from a dog belonging to a woman now internet famous for refusing to leave while she's sick the cops on a black man for calling her out but the part that woman stood in central park is actually the site of one of new york city's earliest examples of gentrification a chunk of modern day central park was 1st home to a black community formed in the 18th twenties called seneca village black residents bought plots of land that formed the communities so.

seattle, to chicago to new york and now in new york you have a weekend in which murders are up 25 to 50% over the past couple of weeks. what are we going to do? because the mayor of new york, mayor de blasio, is just announced a billion dollars out of the police budget? >> mayor de blasio has to go. i don't know if he is capable of getting this back in control while he is mayor. this started, remember, earlier this year with the implementation of cashless bail in new york. david: right. >> where people could rob a bank, get arrested, be released that day, smile at the sky outside, can't believe they're free, go rob another bank. that was actually coming at the start of this year. what is ironic about all this, mayor de blasio stands in front of the crowd he is pandering too, they will be the first ones to boo him off the stage. who are you doing this for? make the decision to have the backs of cops, property owners and those who obey and respect the law and restore order to what is a great city that should be thriving right now as opposed being destroyed directly because of mayor de

he joins us from new york. doctor spencer, as someone who has held the hand of patients dying from covid—19 as you have done, what goes through your mind when you see pictures of people going to bars or beaches or refusing to wear masks? inaudible. i can only apologise doctor spencer and say that it was not your real voice, we had a rather computerised version of your voice, are we going to try one more time, let's try one more time, doctor spencer. sure, absolutely. so what i would say is that in new york city, at that time we saw so many people who are struggling with this virus, so many people who died from this and i held the hands of so many people who have passed from coronavirus, but it feels like so many people around the country have u nfortu nately not people around the country have unfortunately not learned the lessons that we so painfully learned here in new york city, and it is really discouraging, really disheartening and it is quite sad to know that others are going to have to learn these painf

so, it is not just a "new york times." news organizations have been struggling with how do you cover where we are politically without always having to get those calls that somehow the coverage is in opposition to the republican party as opposed to just covering what is happening. >> i agree with you that other news outlets are struggling with this as well, these dynamics. there are some who hear about this who say, this is liberal intolerance. what happened to free speech? meet more free speech with more speech? that's a bedrock idea. are you saying that it's -- that bedrock idea doesn't hold up anymore? >> well, free speech is not that i as a sitting senator or i as someone sitting in my living room has the right to run my opinions in "the new york times" unedited and unchecked. that's not what free speech is. senator cotton certainly has the write and say what he wants in this country but we as a news organization should not be oning something offering misinformation to the public unchecked. yes, we absolutely believe hi

five times that in new york than florida. governor cuomo sent six nursing home patients who tested positive for covid back into nursing home environment that were not ready or prepared and then ordered that they could not be tested for covid unlike governor desantis in florida who realized seniors were most vulnerable and went the other direction. >> i hear whatou you are saying. governor cuomo also signed off legal liability shield so that people cannot sue nursing homes after the industry lobbied him in albany. here is the thing, he blamed cdc guidelines, and i hear what you are saying, cdc is saying our guidelines are saying you should have ppe, you should have it inspections, you did not do any of that. governor cuomo you are totally wrong. you can only blame yourself. >> not a dime of the money congress appropriated for testing in the cares package has gone to testing in nursing homes from new york. not a a dime. now he is threatening to cut funding for medicaid for nursing homes in the middle of this crisis after he mad

of the tunnel in neighboring new york, as new york city retailers in particular are now being advised to slowly reopen albeit with curbside pickup, that kind of stuff. it's a little limited but it's a start. for mckenzie parkway, you know, it is an important start at that. she's the owner of a series of five different stores that have grown in appeal. i think in your case, two have reopened or maybe you can update me. >> so we have only opened two for curbside pickup out of our five locations. neil: what was behind keeping the other three for the time being closed? >> we are working on extremely limited resources, staffing resources, the ability to move people around safely in new york city and honestly, the capital it requires to run the store. so we found it better just to tip-toe back into the water. neil: not a bad strategy. how do you think this is all going? how did this whole thing affect you? i mean, you had an expanding, thriving business, all five of these stores, and i'm wondering how you've held up through it all. >> well, and not well. i think that all of us could answer

york city and to the point of brooklyn, new york. things got pretty hairy last night with a tax on at least three officers. they hope to, you know, not see that happen again, but sporadically, it does. how did you and your men and women deal with this sort of thing right now? obviously, you don't want to go guns blazing, i understand that but you have to because not of the mood set. how do you balance? >> this is dynamic and dangerous moment. there is a lot of vitriol and anger throughout our communities and rightfully so. it does not matter who you are in this country. most of the human beings that truly have a heart that watch that video are disturbed. i have never watched that video with my wife. i had to turn my head and she had to leave the room. it is disturbing. we all have a role to make sure that we home town and at the same time that we support our officers who are out there keeping the peace and protecting property and life. last week we had dozens of fire throughout the city. and we need to keep our cities safe. except th

an explosive report in the new york times is receiving responses from the united states all the way to russia with many calling out the publication for quoting alleged intelligence officials but failing to provide any supporting evidence the article quotes an anonymous source is claiming russia paid bounties in afghanistan to kill americans for more on this still developing story let's go to our she is rachel blood and she is joining us live in studio now as rachel what has the official response been from all these various sides or president trump was quick to deny this report and here of course responded on twitter where he called on the new york times to reveal these anonymous sources that they used in. report now he then went on to say quote intel just reported to me that they did not find this info credible and therefore did not report it to me or vice president penn's possibly another fabricated russia hoax now a spokesperson for russian president putin also spoke out he denied the report and he called the credibility of the new york times into question noting that they have publi

but he's wrong. >> at the "new york times," to show you the reaction to this, a long time "new york times" person, she put out a tweet saying, running this puts black people in danger and other americans standing up for our humanity and democracy too. she finds tom cotton's op ed piece this not only something "the new york times" should not have run, but that it is actually a dangerous concept to advance in this country. >> reporter: lawrence, i have to agree with her. let's keep the focus on the commander in chief of our armed forces, and what he has done here. the blame rests with him. tom cotton is a side show. what we have now is the commander in chief of the united states military, the greatest military in the face of the earth, wants to send that great military in to police peaceful protesters who are exercising their first amendment rights. and frankly, you know, our military is one of the last sug sugss institutions that truly has the respect of the american people. it is also an institution that is probably one of the most diverse with people of color, with black and brown troops

york and on the road, so come january, theater could be back not just here in new york city, but all over the country, guys. >> wow. >> a lot of people can't wait. i was actually in midtown yesterday walking around broadway, and it's just so eerie to see all the theaters closed. what's times square without broadway? it's so weird. >> you know we're thinking about all those broadway actors who are resilient, though, but they're out of jobs. but they'll find a way until we call on them again. really, this whole thing, it has joy, it has despair, it has comeback stories, it has fashionable -- questionable fashion, like will's glasses there. >> oh! >> that's true. >> was that a read? is the library open? >> the library is closed for business. >> oh! >> we have all the drama here at "world news now," tell them, will. all right, thank you, sir. >> "world news now: the musical." >>> how the kardashians are trying to keep up with each other. >> what shaquille o'neal just super sized for us all. "the skinny" is next. struggle. there's an easier way. try mr. clean magic eraser. just wet, squee

we could have learned from new york and from italy. but we did not learn. and unfortunately we followed the trump-pence path to nowhere, the path that led us to have more infections and more deaths amazingly than any country in the entire world. but in texas, i think about the report i got this morning in austin, that there were people lined up to get tests by 3:30 in the morning and by 6:30 they ran out of testing. that's the lack of national or state leadership to get those tests available so people will know and to recognize that until we get a handle on this epidemic we will never get back to sustained economic growth. so it is all very tied together. >> congressman, i'm very sorry about the situation in your state. tonight we appreciate you being here. thank you very much for your expertise on this. and when we come back, one reason why donald trump spent 15 minutes at his oklahoma rally describing how he walked down the ramp after his graduation speech at west point. donald trump really has no idea why he's running for re-election? we have the video p

so, the governor of new york ordered them removed. i have no clue what happened to those statues and i know the governor. but i don't know where they are and he won't tell me. [laughter] harold: there was no discussion. there was no adjudication, but they're gone. there was a lee avenue in brooklyn, leading to headquarters robert e lee used when he was stationed in new york. the name was changed. there was a tree that he had planted outside of the house where he had stayed, which was chopped down or uprooted, and then it turned out out it was not the original tree. it was a replacement tree. [laughter] harold: here's one other example. the mayor of new york established a statue and memorial committee to examine all of the statues built in new york city and determined which of them offended the public sensibility. they started talking about columbus and then the fight became huge, a bridge too far in new york city. so they focused on a statue outside the new york gynecological association. [laughter] harold: of dr. j beverly sims, a ve

here's what phase one looks like for new york. construction is back under way, manufacturing activity and wholesalers, retailers are able to open but only for curbside pickup or delivery. as many as 400,000 workers could begin returning to work today with new safety procedures like temperature checks and required face coverings and social distancing. timing is tough, though, folks. after looters terrorized new york city residents a week ago, smashing windows, looting retail stores and setting fires, mayor bill deblasio actually lifted the city's curfew a full day earlier but it might be too little, too late. i have been out and about today. lot of retail stores, restaurants, everything still kind of boarded up with plywood, i've got to say, which is disappointing. governor andrew cuomo, though, was seen riding the new york city subway this morning. he runs the 7 train. he says the subways are cleaner than they have ever been. business owners are frustrated right here, why can't they open. it was pointed out in an op-ed in the "pos

and if that's been going on for decades here in new york city x. that's the power of our city, is the diversity and the changing nature of neighborhoods. so i think we're going to have to take advantage and use what's happened. but i also don't think, i mean, in the last four months if i told you in new york city 2.5 million square feet of leases were signed, you would probably say that's crazy. but companies like, tiktok, bank of new york-mellon, dozens of other companies 2,000 feet to 10,000 feet have signed leases during this pandemic. maria: that's terrific. >> cities, particularly new york, have been written before -- maria: have you had to adjust pricing? are you lowering rents because of lower demand? >> well, there's been some price adjustment but not that much yet. and we're renting our apartments, we're seeing demand pick up after, obviously, a period of time where things were on pause. finish in terms of office space, there was definitely a pause except for these couple million feet of leases. and we're just reopened our building in broo

michigan, it's kind of the new york of the midwest. and i think the governor that we have here now really isn't up to the job of being able to govern a state like this. and it stands out because she took a stance of ruling rather than governing. you know, she shut me down, all they wanted do was work. you know, the governor has a right to be able to shut businesses down, that's really overstepping her assignment. i was off for five weeks a believe and she told us -- closed all barbershops. that was a terrible blow to our industry. you know, she suspended my license and she stomping her feet around right now as a result of this loss, but she's threatened me with contempt. there was really no due process here. and that's where my attorney really began to shine. >> shannon: let me bring dave in here, because you guys together won's victory at the state supreme court there, but things aren't over yet. i saw that -- reading this headline that says you still have a criminal charge for violating the health department and governor whitmer's st

well, you know the streets of new york are calm. probably the calmest they have been in almost two weeks. and as the city enters phase one of reopening after the coronavirus shutdown. the protests, too, enter a new phase. aimed at defunding police departments. and marchers in scrubs joined the protest on sunday for the most part they were peaceful as they wound their way through the new york city streets. through the big apple's most iconic areas like manhattan's union square. they turned to a new focus the call to defund police departments. some say it's not about stripping of all money but as a way to address systemic problems like racism and police brutality. new york city. >> maria: de blasio says he will divert part of the city's budget to new efforts. >> we will be moving funding from the nypd to the youth initiatives and social services. i want people to understand that we're committed to shifting resources to ensure that the focus is on our young people. >> meanwhile mayor de blasio lifted the curfew a day early congratulati

blockade new york. the president was talking about blockading new york. you would have seen a civil war. we now have the lowest infection rate, and i'm getting calls all day long, people from florida, texas, saying we want to be in new york because we're afraid to be in texas and florida. that could actually increase our transmission rate. >> right. >> so i'm talking to my neighbors, governor murphy in new jersey, governor lamont in connecticut about what we do about it. i wouldn't target a specific state, but we know the transmission rate in every state in the united states. it's a published piece of data. i would consider states with the highest transmission rate that if somebody comes from that state to new york there's a period of quarantine where they quarantine themselves to make sure they are not spreading it. >> okay. and that's -- that's a step that some countries have taken as well to put a held on it. >> yes. >> i want to get to it the issue of police and police violence after a police office

. >> ed: new york city opening up today. a lot of optimism. we will follow it. >> sandra: "outnumbered" starts now. >> melissa: fox news alert. a veto proof majority from the city council where george floyd was killed 2 weeks and that council is pledgeing to take apart the police department. this comes as mostly peaceful protests were held in america including minneapolis and a push to defund the police nationwide. the minneapolis mayor frey sparked back lash for refusing to support abolishing the police department. watch this. >> [shouting]. >> harris: protestors shouted him down. that's him walking away there. he wants to work on deep structural reform and the trump administration is going after efforts to defund police. >> it's an absurd assertion, i don't understand it. if you are concerned about the racial injustice you talked about and about needing the reform different police department or law enforcement agencies, make sure you are giving them the right training and the right oversight and the right leadership to do that so they can pr

nobody wanted to live in new york city. if you think back to those times, nobody wanted to go to school here. they were scared to death. agree, kids need better schools. but given this day and age, after we have seen downeds of thugs burning and destroying businesses, and where are they doing it, they are doing it in the black community. 10 to 30ple worked for years building a business, and we have maniacs coming in burning them down. until you have law and order, until you have an environment where people can build a business, where they can put a business, you are not going to have jobs. you are not good to have schools. that is reality. from new york city and other cities around the country. as long as you have violence and crime and murder, you are going to have poverty. the violence,n up the crime, the murder, it is not going to happen. host: we have about 10 minutes left with bernard kerik. we will go to terry, republican. caller: i was going to ask you about the guy that got shot in the back about jumping the rule of

york and new jersey. don't forget that. >> i remember. i remember. >> he talked about having a forced quarantine. not since the civil war. they were talking about blocking access to new york. you want to see a second civil war, you would have if they did that. >> i have one more question for you. are you in a position to make any projections or share any of your expectations about whether or not the school year will start in september? in any part of the state? >> september? my crystal ball does not go that far. >> it's coming. i know. moms and dads want to know. >> yeah. well, i don't. i only have a 30-day crystal ball. it was the discount crystal ball. i can't see september. i'll tell you when we get a little closer. look, our numbers are coming down. other states are going up. does that wind up infecting us? who knows? when it comes to opening schools, i want to have the best facts we can and let's get a little closer and then i'll get a new crystal ball. >> all right. this is within the skill set of y
