  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett, got.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: A hand it.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: You're on the One Leg Up Network to Mayor Eric Adams, who,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: as you know, is running as an independent, but while
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: trying to run that mayoral campaign for twenty five, he's
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: got to deal with these protests and making sure they
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: don't become La two point zero.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: And usually said yesterday.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: The escalation of protests in Los Angeles over the last
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: couple of days is unacceptable and will not be tolerated
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: if attempted in our city. And I want to ensure
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: all New Yorkers that.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: We have the best police department in the world, men
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: and women who are prepared to handle any issues that
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: may arise, especially when we are faced with deep division
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: in our society.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you, it's refreshing to have a mayor
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: who will not stand for disorder, a chaos.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: It's refreshing to have leadership that says we will not
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: tolerate this and mean it.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I turned to Jessica Tish, the NYPD commissioner, who has
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: also been weighing in this week as protests were mounting
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in Fully Square, and thanks to her leadership as well,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: these protests have not spiral into complete car burnings like
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: we've seen in LA or The.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: NYPD has been dealing with daily protests really since October seventh,
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty three. Last night we had one in Lower
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: Manhattan around Foley Square, which is, as you mentioned, near
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: where the Federal Building is. In total, we saw about
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: twenty five hundred people, largely peaceful. We did have a
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: group of about two hundred who were looking to sew
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: a little chaos and disorder, and at the New York
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: City Police Department, we will not tolerate that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And so when we look at both cities, New York
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and LA, people say, well, that's a very liberal city,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: it's too progressive. Finally, this coast, this city is handling
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: it right. They're making sure it's peaceful protest only. And
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I have to say this, if we're gonna have crowds
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of people blocking highways and traffic spaces, why don't we
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: ever have it for causes that are also for I
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: don't know, American's disabilities or you know, outright injustice for Americans.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Because right now these protests are about immigration, and I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: do believe the violent illegals should be taken.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Out those who are trying to make a living in
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: here illegally. Well, I believe there's a papular decision for
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: them if they want to do it right.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: But I never see outcry or even support for the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: adaptive community.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: In this kind of way. And those are American the
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: disabilities I'm talking about.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: And so if we can see this rallying against Ice,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: we sure as hell should see rallying for Americans who
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: are underserved because they are Americans first and foremost, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: they need to be prioritized first and foremost. And I
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: know I'm doing the show from the LR this morning,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: but it's a busy day and I wanted to knock
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: this out before the day started. So thanks for bearing
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: with me, and they train noises behind me. But I'm
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: that passionate that I couldn't stay quiet about this anymore.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: There are those with disabilities who are and those who
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: are underserved that deserve to have their voice heard too,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And we don't.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Hear that kind of support for the underserved. We need
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: to them, we need because these folks are protesting for
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: those who are here illegally.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Whatever you think of that, that's not the point. The
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: point is what about those who are here American born
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that deal with struggling to make ends meet. That deal
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: with trying to make the rent, make the pay you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: make the payday, make it to payday, trying to work
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: while having benefits because remember the government does not make
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: that easy. What about support for those who are doing
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: their best while trying.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: To thrive and survive m and I mean Americans, American born.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Where's the support for us, the American people who are
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: just trying to do right and do what's lawful while
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the law of vaders continue to reap all the benefits.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: That has to change if we wanna have one leg
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: up for the American people.
