  Here's your host, Alex Garrett. Well, this is a month of adaptability
• 0:10
  and here on the Alex Garrett podcast Network, I'm going to feature a segment
• 0:15
  with Jeffrey Krustler, who actually passed away. He's the Cuney John Jay College
• 0:23
  librarian recently passed away this just this year. I was told on my YouTube
• 0:29
  channel, and you know, he had an adaptive story. He survived a
• 0:33
  heart attack thanks to the hard working EMS workers that were out there during the
• 0:39
  pandemic. And I want to share his story because there have been new developments
• 0:45
  with the life of Jeffrey Crustler. The Historic Districts Council has created the Jeffrey
• 0:51
  Crustler Student Research Award. It's at a recent Grasswords Preservation Awards. The Historic
• 0:59
  Districts account which preserves landmarks in New York City. By the way, HDC
• 1:04
  announced the creation of the Jeffrey Crustler Student Research Award and an annual Jury and
• 1:11
  Award on as an annual Jury and Award honoring original graduate level research on topics
• 1:19
  relevant to New York City historic preservation. Jeffrey Crustler was all about New York
• 1:25
  City. He wrote about New York City, he talked about New York City.
• 1:27
  He had this passion for the city he grew up in, and I'm
• 1:32
  so glad that the Historic District's Council is honoring him. Do you know that
• 1:37
  at least one one thousand dollars award will be presented each year and the award
• 1:42
  recipients allowed the opportunity to present their final research to an audience of New York
• 1:49
  City stakeholders. Next year will be the first time they award the Jeffrey Crustler
• 1:57
  Research Award, which, by the way, will showcase high level research beneficial
• 2:05
  to the historic possession preservation community in New York City. Now how do I
• 2:10
  get into landmarks? Well, my mother and I visited the T Building,
• 2:15
  which is actually a landmarked building, and then I started looking and seeing,
• 2:22
  Wow, there's actually a commission that continues to work with the City Council to
• 2:28
  get certain blocks, certain buildings, certain you know lands, even landmarked and
• 2:38
  preserved forever. And that's all thanks to the Historic District Council. And you
• 2:43
  see them honoring Jeffrey Crustler means the world. And so while I've had jeffreyon
• 2:49
  multiple times, I'm going to play the first conversation we had about, you
• 2:53
  know, his surviving the heart attack and his thanks the EMS workers through the
• 2:59
  Daily knee would you can find in the link below of this one leg up
• 3:04
  feature of the Alex Garra podcast Network. One of the breaking news tonight which
• 3:08
  I wanted to share with you was like Joe Biden finally wrote off student debt
• 3:15
  himself. He said, well, if Scotus isn't gonna do it, I'm
• 3:19
  gonna do it via executive action. And whether you like it or not,
• 3:25
  he used the pen to forgive. You know, I think they said thirty
• 3:32
  nine billion dollars in student loan debt for eight hundred thousand borrowers with the stroke
• 3:42
  of a pen by closing loopholes that prevented some burrowers from gaining relief they had
• 3:49
  earned with years of payments. This will be applied hundred thousand borrowers who right
• 4:03
  off that after borrowers make twenty or more for years of payments, they wanted
• 4:11
  to do four hundred billion, which is just kind of crazy and quite radical.
• 4:16
  But for the eight hundred thousand borrowers, tonight some good news and I
• 4:20
  got to see how they actually select these eight hundred thousand people, and maybe
• 4:31
  just maybe this can work. I know that people who have already paid off
• 4:38
  their student loans are saying, well, what about me and whatnot? And
• 4:42
  we can have that conversation another day. But there you go. That's an
• 4:46
  example of the president using his executive power and the pen to do what he
• 4:54
  thinks is beneficial. I just wonder how they're gonna get the thirty nine billion
• 4:59
  dollars? Does that mean our taxes? Here? And and finally, um
• 5:10
  so we'll get into that more. But finally, yes, Casey at the
• 5:15
  bat, Casey Sean Casey his first time as hitting coach tonight in Colorado and
• 5:24
  in the main vein of Fanatics Friday. Check out the new link. It's
• 5:29
  a Garret Cole American League jersey because how cool is it to where the word
• 5:33
  American around? And I kind of like the green that they wore. And
• 5:38
  of course Cole was the All Star for the Yankees, even though Judge was
• 5:41
  voted in, he did not go because he was injured. But Fanatics Friday
• 5:46

• 5:55
  all I wanted to tonight here on the Alex Garrett Podcast Network. One leg
• 5:59
  a feature. We'll be back with more, but do listen back to Jeffrey
• 6:03
  Chressler's conversation. He was so insightful, so great, so giving him his
• 6:10
  time, and I just want to replay that tonight and give a shout out
• 6:14
  to the Historic District's Council for acknowledging a really, really good person and a
• 6:19
  QUNEE icon. Signed a fellow QUNEE alumnus, graduate of twenty thirteen Queen's College,
