  Speaker 1: Blogged into Everything New York on the Voice of New
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: York Mark Simon on sevent tenor.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Well, Hey, the Savannah Guthrie story just tragic. Here's the latest.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: The President has ordered the entire FBI to go to
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: work on the Savannah Guthrie mother's disappearance, and the FBI
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: director himself is flying out there to Arizona to take
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: charge of all this. But the massive amount of FBI
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: agents are on the case. They get all kinds of
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: leads and they all have to be tracked downs too
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: much for the local police. Then they get all kinds
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: of false tips, false claims, but they all got to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: be run down, and the hundreds and hundreds of FBI
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: agents will do that. And as told you before, they
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: can also get things done much faster than the local police,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: things like get into her digital records or cell phone records,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: or they can trace the cell phone to see where
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: it pinged on what towers. Now, when she was taken
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: from her home, they left the cell phone and her keys,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: her medicine, everything she needed and would normally take with her.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: So the other thing they're looking at right now, they
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: think it's possible whoever this was was somebody that knew
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: her in some way, somebody that'd been in the house,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: somebody that was familiar, just the first thing they're looking at.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: So they're running down everybody she could have known, everybody
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: that could have been in the house, worked in the house,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: done something around. So they're looking at that right now.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Some reports of a ransom note, and I don't think
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: it's true. If you look at the video that they
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: put out asking to talk to the kidnappers, it looks
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: like there is no ransom note. It's a tragic situation.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: She can go for maybe a week or two or
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: three without the medicine, it's possible. But there was blood,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: a lot of bla blood, a trail of blood coming
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: out the front door. There was blood inside. Apparently because
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of the heart trouble. She was probably taking blood dinners,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: and when you take that, you tend to bleed a lot.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: So if they hit her in the head or something,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you bleed more than normal. So that's why you'd see
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: that kind of blood trail. The only thing you can
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: hope for is that there's a breakthrough they find her.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: That's a long shot. The other thing is, if you
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: go back to the kidnapping of Frank Sinatra Junior. That's
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: back in nineteen sixty three. These kidnappers thought they could
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: get a lot of money by kidnapping Frank Sinatra Junior,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and then as it unfolded, it turned it out because
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: it was Frank Sinatra, the entire American mafia was out
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: looking for them, and Robert Kennedy, who had had a
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: fight with Sinatra broken up with him, wasn't talking to him.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: But as soon as the kidnapping happened, Robert Kennedy called
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: and announced the entire FBI would be out there looking
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: for the sun and the kidnappers see this because it
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: was all over the news. It was front page news.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: When they found out the entire mob was looking for him,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the entire FBI was looking for him, they got scared.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: The kidnappers got scared and released the kid They just
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: took him somewhere he was blindfolded and just let him
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: out and they drove away, leaving him there. He was
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: found by actually a local security guard found him. But
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: you could hope for something like that in this case
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that as the kidnappers keep hearing about, the President of
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the United States is on the case, the FBI director
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: is on his way there. The entire FBI is looking
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: for that. They might panic and let her go. That's possible.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: It happened in the Sinatra case. But we'll see. Hey,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Scott bessint yesterday had it testify before Congress. You know
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: we're talking about this yesterday. Republicans aren't good at holding hearings.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: They're mild. The two comp You know, when Democrats hold hearings,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: day will tear you apart. They'll just bite you to
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: death like pitbulls. So yesterday, Scott Bessant, brilliant, very very
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: classic guy, Scott Besson is to testify. He's the Treasury
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Secretary's to discuss the situation with the Treasury and money matters.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: But it's Democrats. So they're like animals, just screaming and yelling.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Listen to them tear into Besson. The prestory work for
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the American paper.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Work for the American people.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: A mom investment keeps them. Mister secretary, could you control
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: these people travel the whale? I take that as a
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: not on behalf. I take that you don't want to that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I take that as a note for a seven asking
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: you to do your responsibility as Secretary of the Treasury
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: as Secretary of They just yelling at them. They don't
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: let them do. Here's a great one. You can't really
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: make this out, but i'll tell you what. It's Maxine
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Waters who's got an IQ of like sixty five maybe,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: and Bessent is an IQ like one sixty. So she's
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: yelling at him, and then he's trying to talk. And
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: then you gotta listen carefully. But Water says that chairman,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: will you shut him up? And then you'll hear it's
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: hard to hear it, you'll hear Besson say, could you
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: try to have some level of dignity? He says to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Maxine Waters, listen, listen to this time.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Immigration. You know Tom does Tom ten and twenty million immigrants,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: the housing housing stock of working Americans, and can you
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: maintain some level of his time has expired, has not aspired?
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Uh. First of all, they kind of dumb anyway, these Democrats,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: the just the ones that end up in the committee
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: like the dumbest of the Democrats, and there's a TV
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: camera on them, and I know it's their moment to
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: go viral and that's why they do that. So but
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Besstt was very calm, very patient and he got through it.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: So the other thing with fake news, besides fake news,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: is they'll have fake poles. They have all these poles
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: about trumpet lowest approval rating ever. He's underwater in the economy,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: he's underwater on immigration. Now, you got to remember, if
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: you actually go look at these poles, you go into
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: the metrics to see who they surveyed, you'll find out
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: it was totally rigged. For instance, in their sampling they
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: had Republicans at only twenty seven percent, they should be
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: thirty eight percent. They slanted it right there by eleven points.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Then they don't use likely voters. They use a category
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: called adults, which means they can pick whoever they want.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: They don't use the right demographics. There's all kinds of
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: ways they stand up slanting these poles by fourteen to
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: fifteen points. But they'll always come out they're doing it
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: right now. They did last week, they're doing it this week.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: They'll put out all these poles and on all these shows,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: and if you watch CNN or MSNBC, this is all
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: you'll hear. The poles are devastating for a Republican, devastating
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: for Donald Trump, but it shows him underwater on his Kisua.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: They're absolutely disastrous these poles. Now, whenever they do this scenario,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: you'll notice the next day he wins an election. And
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: they do this all the time, so when it's a
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: big thing to do, when it's leading up to an election.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: They did it in twenty twenty fourth leading up to
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: the election. It's a disastrous for him. This is meantime
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: he wins. So they're doing it right now. They'll keep
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: doing this all year for the mid terms, and it
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: will be absolutely ineffective. Hey, as I said, they on
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: this street, at least around here, this neighborhood, they picked
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: up the garbage. Those mountains of garbage are all gone.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: They were picked up yesterday. And out in front on
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: the fifty fifth street side of this building, there's a
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: big plow removing all the snow. They're picking up those
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: snow banks. They're taking them. Things are getting much better,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: better late than never. Apparently they did the bike lanes first,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: but now they're doing the whole thing. So by the
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: time I walk out of here at noon, it's gonna
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: look a lot better outside. That's good news.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Mom.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Donni made a fool out of himself with this police incident.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: There was a police shooting and there was domestic violent situation.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: They were called in. The police ended up shooting the guy.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: And what do you do in this a police shooting, Well,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the first thing you do is investigate. Look at the
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: body cam. You see what happened. Not Mondani, not Mamdani.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: He immediately assumed, assumed for no reason at all, that
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: it was unjustified that the police officer was a murderer.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: And what did mam Donni do. He went to the
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: hospital to see the shooting victim, not to be with
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the cop, but to go to the criminal. Now this
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: is what he did. But eventually bodycam footage was released
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: and it showed the cop was absolutely justified. It's kind
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: of gruesome, but you can see it online. The bodycam
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: footage shows they got a call domestic violence. The family
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: called the police asked them to come because the husband
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: was going crazy with a knife, big butcher knife, and
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: you see the bodycam video, he's waving it at the cops.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: They're yelling and screaming, put down the knife, put down
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the knife. This goes on for some time and then
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: finally he comes right at the cop with the butcher
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: knife and you have no choice in that street. You
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: have to shoot the guy. So he did shoot. Mom Donnie.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Of course, on the wrong side of everything. Mom Donnie's
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: a twelve years old, never had a job, has no
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: experience in these kind of things. Immediately assume the cops
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: were wrong. He's visiting the maniac in the hospital. Mom Donnie. Here,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: take a.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Listen, seventeen New Yorkers here it is the questions at
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the of our pursuit of the Department of Community Safety
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: are looking to answer exactly what mental health crisis response
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: should look like.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the shooting, We.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Know the pain that his family is living through in
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: this moment.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, the family called the police. Of course,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: it was painful to see this, but it was the
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: family that called the cops and asked them to come stop.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: This guy is to me incredibly clear.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: But what he needs in this moment is mental health treatment,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: not criminal prosecution by a district attorney.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I see. This is the amateur twelve year old mayor,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: never had a job, never had a deal with any
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: of this reality. The social worker could deal with this
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: now again. New York City has tried this experiment about
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: three times in the past using social workers to respond
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: to this. They've tried it under various police commissions. They
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: tried it out. You end up with dead, maimed, injured
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: social workers and nothing happens. Now you take this situation,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: go look at the bodycam video of the screaming maniac
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: with the big butcher knife coming at you. If we're
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: up to Mom Donnie, they wouldn't have a cop with
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: the gun. They'd have the social worker saying, let me
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: talk to let me discuss this for a minute. Why
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: don't you put down the knife and we'll talk. Well,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: if he's not going to put down the knife, with
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: the cop with the gun yelling at him, drop that night,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: he's not going to listen to the social worker. It
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: always ends up with a dead social worker. They've tried
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: it before. But Mom Donnie's got this plan. The Department
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: of Public Safety.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I think we are continuing to explore every avenue that
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: we have to keep New Yorkers warm, and that means
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to ensuring that we are taking this is the.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Other one is I think this is the Department of
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Public Safety.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: The questions at the heart of our pursuit of the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Department of Community Safety are looking to answer exactly what
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: mental health crisis response should look like. And I think
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: what we are seeing is what it does look like today.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: And we know that for far too long we haven't
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: asked these kinds of questions of this system. Those are
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the ones we're looking to answer with our work and apolicies.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you see, Department of Mental Health a mental health crisis.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: There's different types of a mental health crisis. In other words,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: if somebody's at home and they're very, very depressed, even
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: thinking of suicide, well there, you could send a social
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: we're going to talk to him. But if they're foaming
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: at the mouth, raving like a maniac, coming at you
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: with a butcher knife, that's a different kind of mental
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: health crisis. That's not the one for the social worker. Now.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: The other naive Mam donnie mistake is ordering the police
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: not to pick up the homeless. There's always in New
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: York been the rule. If it gets to dangerously dangerous
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: code blue minus ten degrees, you have to pick up
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: the homeless and take them to a shelter. You can't
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: leave them on the street. They'll freeze to death and die.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Mam Donnie. Orders the police not to do that, orders
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: all the departments leave the homeless on the street. Seventeen
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: are now dead. Seventeen are dead as a result. Mom
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Donnie talking about that.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Seventeen New Yorkers have passed away outside during this Code blue.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: In thirteen of these cases, Preliminary findings indicate that hypothermia
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: played a role. Three of these deaths appear to be
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: overdose related deaths, while one remains unknown.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Now it turns out, if you check the actual track
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: record here, the police had to shoot one guy and
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: it looks like they were totally justified. While in the
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: same week Mam Donnie killed seventeen people with his dumb order.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: He's responsible for killing seventeen people, leaving him out there
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: to freeze to death. I guess in his crazy, uh
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: kookie woke head, it thinks, well, it should be up
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: to the homeless man. It should be up to him.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: He's not thinking straight. There's drugs, there's all kinds of things.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: He's not rational. You can't leave it up to him.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: And if it's going to get so cold that you'll die,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: no matter what he was, you got to take him.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: You got to take him to a shelter. So Mom
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Donnie caused seventeen people to die, and you might wonder,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: after the first ten and they knew it was ten.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: After ten, wouldn't he have felt guilty, felt bad and
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: called the police and said, you know, I changed my mind.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Take them. He didn't. Now you got seventeen dead as
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: a result, I.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: Think we are continuing to explore every avenue that we
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: have to keep New Yorkers warm, and that means to
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: ensuring that we are taking on any heat outages, whether
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: they be at Nitch properties or any property across the city,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: because we also know that there are a number of
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: connent outages over these past few days, and then beyond that,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: to ensure that we have warming buses, that we have
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: warming centers, that we have safe have in sites, shelters
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: not only that are available, but also that we are
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: having outreach teams do the direct outreach to connect homeless
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: New Yorkers.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: With Now, I don't know what the hell he just said,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: but if you talk fast, it's a very effective technique.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Somebody says ask you something, you go, well, right away,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: you sound like you don't know what you're talking about.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: But if they ask you something, to go, oh, get
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: man man. When you start talking a mile a minute,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: and you talk really fast, and you talk like you
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: never stop talking, and it's a mile a minute. It
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: sounds like you must be very smart because who could
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: talk that fast? And you just throw in those words.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: We have have various outreach programs and they're doing outreach
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: on the outreach team and the outreach just talk fast
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: and you sound brilliant. But it's made a lot of mistakes. Now,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the good news is we have a new city council speaker,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: and if you're the speaker of the city council, the
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: head of the city council, you have about as much
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: power as the mayor. She's a common sense I wouldn't
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: say conservative, she's a Democrat, but very common sense and
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: a good contrast to Mom Donnie. In fact, already she
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: wants to bring back the outdoor dining. On a day
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: like this or a week like this, you don't really
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: think about outdoor dining, but remember in the summer it's
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: great and it's a lot of money and revenue. It's
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: money for the restaurants. It helps the businesses. You know,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: if you're a restaurant, you got thirty tables, yeah, do that.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Outdoor dining suddenly got an extra twenty tables outside you
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: make a lot more money. So the recently outdoor dining
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: stopped was the Adams administration. Typical government. You know, they
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: made it so tough. There were five thousand regulations, eight
• 16:06
