I say this over and over. We have a deep bench, not only in government, in the city. People want to work for this administration, and they continue to sign up. And he was excited to come on board, and we're excited to have him. How are you? How are you, sir? Good, good. I have a question about Columbia and NYPD. I don't know if you've been following the now former student who fled New York City because HSI was trying to take her into custody and deport her. Her name is Ranjani Srinivasan. So DHS explicitly said in their statement that partially... Well, the reason why they targeted her was because of two summonses that she received by the NYPD on April 30th during the height of the protests at the school. Those summonses were dismissed within weeks after they were issued. She never had to appear in court. She was never fingerprinted. She was released. Summonses issued. Weeks later were dismissed. Somehow, those summonses and that information got into the hands of the DHS. So I'm just wondering how that could have happened. Is the NYPD sharing any of that information with HSI, with DHS? Has the city shared any of that information with the Columbia University? This woman was... She's a Fulbright Scholar, Harvard grad. Was not in the public eye at all. Was not even in New York City during the height of the Columbia protests. She was out of the country. All of a sudden, because of these summonses that were dismissed, apparently she somehow winds up on the radar of DHS. OK, we have been extremely clear, and I'll say it over and over again. New York City Police Department, they do not collaborate for civil enforcement. And I don't know the details of this. We could look into it and find out. But we do not collaborate for civil enforcement. And, you know, the... How the summonses information got out, that's something that you have to speak with the federal government about. We do not collaborate for civil enforcement. And we're very clear on that. This was at HSI. They went and got a warrant from a judge at SDNY to try and arrest her. They went to her. She had fled. So, I mean, could you argue that that was criminal enforcement? I mean, she was not brought up in any criminal charges by HSI. It wasn't ICE officers. It was specifically HSI. It's very perplexing, because there's nothing else in the record about her. And Secretary Nuland was very hard on her, called her a terrorist sympathizer, a Hamas supporter. And there's no evidence of that. The only thing that they have are these two summonses that somehow DHS found out about. Well, I don't know what's the extent of the evidence. They will have to tell you the extent of the evidence. And that's with HSI. But, listen, I commend the secretary on her desire to deal with anyone that committed a crime. And I've said that over and over again. And I'm looking to collaborate with all of our law enforcement agencies, HSI, and something that many of us have failed to acknowledge. ICE is not a criminal organization. ICE is a law enforcement organization. Some folks may not like ICE, and what they do, but they... HSI. That's a law enforcement organization. I'm going to collaborate with every law enforcement organization that's dealing with criminal behavior. The law doesn't allow us to deal with civil enforcement. And so whatever evidence HSI has, I don't speak for HSI. Yeah, go ahead, go ahead. Has the NYPD provided... Do you know, has the NYPD provided any summons information from April 30th to any government agencies, Congress, Columbia University? You may not know this off the top of your head. But it seems to be an issue because somehow, again, this information got out there. Yeah, it's not an issue to me. We don't... No. Here's what I'm okay with, because I don't want to be misquoted because sometimes that happens. I'm okay with us following the law. We don't collaborate with any agency when it comes down to... We don't collaborate with ICE, I should say, when it comes down to civil enforcement. And I say over and over again. So we'll look into what you're sharing now, but we don't... We've made that clear over and over. What's going on? Good, good. So the city council did a review of the data you released on your involuntary removal policy. And they found that there were inconsistencies. Basically they said most of these involuntary removals occurred in people's homes, not in public spaces. They also found that it was disproportionately targeting black New Yorkers. And there was another point. Those are the two main ones that I can think of. But I just wanted to get your response to that considering this policy has been such a central part of your mental health agenda. I'm not quite understanding. The complaint is of what? They're saying it's not actually effective in... Oh, the other point was that New Yorkers who are getting hospitalized are not actually getting connected to long-term care. What did they say? So their suggestion is don't do involuntary removal? I'm lost on what are their suggestions. The suggestion would be focusing on funding mental health programs that there have been cuts to in the past. OK.OK.OK.I disagree with them. OK.I disagree with them. We have been very clear on involuntary removal. And the numbers are clear. The report stated that New Yorkers make up 23% of the population but 46% of involuntary removal are black New Yorkers. We are not going to say, hey, this person needs to be involuntary removed but hold on, they're black, so we're not going to do it. They're Hispanic, we're not going to do it. They're white, we're not going to do it. That's not the way this game is done. Look at the... If you want to play that analysis, look at the ethnicity of those who are being majorly impacted. Look at the homeless population and the ethnic breakdown of that. You ride your subway system, look and see who's homeless. Look at the ethnic demographics of who's homeless. Look at the ethnic demographics of those who are charged with some of these crimes of pushing people on the subway system, slashing, et cetera. We're going to go where the issue is and we're not going to play race politics. Where the services are, we're going to go to. And those who are part of this analysis, they need to move out of the sterilized environment of the city council chamber and they need to go and do what we do. Go in the subway system, look at the population in need. We're going to respond to that need. Quite well. How are you doing? Good. You brought up Randy Mastro's lawyer background. Yes. You gave him his first task as Rikers Island, to close Rikers Island. You gave him that, but why not give him something like pushing back against the Trump administration and their policies to try to get back some federal funds when it comes to the city policies. He's well versed in that. Why not task him with that as a major thing, especially because we're going into the budget season right now for the city. You said I gave him Rikers. Where did you get that from? From your interview with Marcia. You said that one of his first tasks is going to be focusing on Rikers Island and how to close it in time for the legal deadline. And that's why I asked you. You said one of his tasks, not that's his only task. He's the first deputy mayor. The entire portfolio from analyzing what is happening on the federal level to analyzing what we're doing around public space to analyzing Rikers that finally everyone seems to agree with me that 2027 is not a realistic time to close it and that we need to deal with the mental health crisis. And so that's the role of a first deputy mayor. One of his roles would be do that in partnership with my chief of staff and my entire team. And so we're not going to zero in on just why can't he do this one aspect of it. This is a city where you better know how to chew gum and walk at the same time. And I think Randy can do that. So that's one of his aspects. I have a follow-up question about your campaign. You said you're not worried. Everybody's catching up to you. You haven't really been on the campaign trail. I know you said you're going to get out soon. Is there any worry that you're going to get out too late? That there won't be... By the time you do get out there and officially join the trail, there won't be anybody left to endorse you or anybody left to support you? I'm curious about this. Give me your definition of campaigning. Going to houses of worship? I do that. Going to town hall meetings? I do that. Going to the streets and shake hands with people? I do that. Kiss babies? I do that. What is the definition that you think I'm not doing that a candidate would do? You're not going to the mayoral forums. You're not speaking out necessarily on all the issues when it comes to what New Yorkers want, and particularly politics that are coming out of the Trump administration. You're not in those places. You said that you have petitions out, but I personally haven't seen anybody. I've spoken to people. They've said they've seen here and there. So I'm just wondering, based on how you campaigned in 2021 and how you're campaigning this time around, it's not the same. First of all, I disagree. I can't get into a full analysis of that. I'm sure you saw the petitions of everyone that's running for office. I'm sure you saw them. If you did, you're probably the unique New Yorker because no one else has done it. When you petition, you go to voters that you know are registered and you knock on the door. Those are quality petitions. That's when you have a qualitative petition process. I know what I'm doing. That's all I can say to you. Running for office to get a seat is different from being an incumbent. I know what I'm doing. I must thank you and everyone else here. I thank you for being so concerned that I'm reelected. I think you're concerned that Eric is going to be all right. It really warms my heart that all of you are so concerned. You know I'm making your city safe. You know I'm bringing back tourism. You know I'm educating your children. You have shown me such a level of warmth that Eric,we're concerned. We want you back. I know I'm making a lot of your careers. You're getting a lot of clicks from me. I know the rest of those guys are so boring that all of a sudden you're going to go into the shadows. You know you are doing so well and I know you want me back. I know it. I'll be back. Don't worry about it. I'm not going anywhere. You're going to all write books. You're going to all do documentaries. You're going to all continue to get the clicks you want every time you tweet my name. People click right away. Every time you want to do a 30 page expose with a rat running across my face. People are going to get excited. So it's okay folks. I'm coming back. What's happening? I want to ask you about a fire that happened in the Bronx a couple of weeks ago on Jerome Avenue. There were a lot of businesses that were destroyed actually. I've been talking with some of the people there. One of the business owners told me that basically the city is not offering any kind of financial assistance. Small business services offices giving them resources but as far as actual financial help for these businesses they haven't been offered anything. This was an area that was looted a lot in 2020. She said she got a check for $10,000 from the city. I don't know. Maybe there are details here that I'm not aware of. What can the city do financially for these people? We're going to send SBS up there and find out doing a needs assessment and see how we can help. There are some limitations on what we can do. We've done some major things around small businesses because that's important. We have one of the largest numbers of small businesses in the history of this city because of the support that we've put in place and we're going to go up to that area and do an analysis and see what we can do to assist them. Could there be a situation where you could write a check for some of these businesses? Listen, I would love to write a check for a whole lot of things. We've got to do an assessment to see what resources are available and Commissioner Gross has been excellent in doing that and we're going to get a team up there and see how we can help. Craig, what's happening? Same old, same old. So last week you had made comments to Jewish leaders that there is an anti-Semitic candidate in the mayoral race. Who are you referring to and why do you believe they're an anti-Semite? And then secondly, yesterday, I know you're not on the campaign trail yet but a lot of the candidates for mayor stood together even Republican Garcia stood with the Democratic potential nominees and they called out former Governor Cuomo for his handling of the nursing homes. Do you believe that Governor Cuomo handled the nursing homes properly during the pandemic? Okay, so first we need to be clear on the record. You keep saying you're not on the campaign trail. Where do you get this definition from? Is there a Webster definition of what being on the campaign trail is? I was in the church yesterday talking to voters. I'm out in the streets all the time talking to voters. And so I'm going to continue. I know what I'm doing. I ran for Senate in one. I ran for board president in one. I ran for mayor in one. I know what I'm doing. And so let's get this off the conversation before Fabian goes crazy. I'm on the trail. I know how to campaign. And I know how to also run the city. I still got to run the city. A lot of those older folks who are running, they don't have day jobs. And when you look at how Governor Cuomo is running, former Governor Cuomo is running, he's in this bubble. You can't even get near him. He's not doing this. You can't even get near him. He controls walking in. He controls walking out. He's not answering questions from you. Does that make him on the campaign trail? Is he on the campaign trail? Every day that I'm in the street, I'm the incumbent, folks. Why aren't we understanding that? When you're an incumbent, you want to reserve your resources. You want to stay focused on your job. Because my victory is going to be showing my record of how I brought this city back. That's a whole different scenario. I didn't have a record to run under. I have a record to run under. Those other guys don't have a record to run under. I have a solid record of housing, public safety, affordability. And so we're going to, you know, stay focused on that. And again, I'm, like, bursting with excitement. Do you guys miss me out there? Like, what's the story? Do y'all miss me out there? But listen, let's hold everybody to the same standard. How come you guys are not critiquing the fact that a governor who's supposed to be the frontrunner in this race is having this controlled environment? OK. Well, you know, I don't read the papers. No, but listen. We know what we're doing. This is strategic, and we need to be focused on that. Look at the other candidates, you know. How they run their race is up to them. I have a good, solid, strategic team who got me here. And we know what we're doing. You have to reserve your strength. And the excitement is going to happen. This is going to have so many twists and turns. I keep telling y'all, there's going to be so many twists and turns to this race that I think this is going to be one of the most exciting races we had in the history of this city. I think, look at the comments and actions. I think that after October 7th, to see people who are lined up with the Democratic Socialist Party and what they did after the election. I think those who lined up with people who celebrate Hamas. Hamas is a terrorist organization. They should be destroyed. People are not calling for the release of hostages. People who protest outside the leaders of Jewish leaders' houses. Some of this just nasty and mean action that you're seeing from some of these candidates. One in particular that I wanted to highlight. But many of them have not dealt with this anti-Semitism in the city. Just look at their comments. I'm not trying to name them to give them any more notoriety than they deserve. But we will be pushing back on anti-Semitism and hate and other actions we see in this city. I want to be clear that this is not a city for anti-Semitism, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-Semitism. I'm going to be clear on that. And everyone should be clear on that. Do you believe that... Everyone was speaking out yesterday about Governor Cuomo handling the nursing homes. Do you agree with these other candidates that he handled this properly? I'm doing an analysis of all of those candidates to see who was around at the time. I was here at the time. And many of those candidates were home shelter-in-place. I was in the streets. I was in the streets dealing with COVID with real people, nurses and doctors. I was giving out masks in NYCHA. All of these other candidates, they were home. They were home while New Yorkers were suffering. And he incorrectly handled the nursing home issues. I think those family members are right. And I met with them. And I'm going to be communicating with them further. But also, if you go back, doing analysis back then, there was racial disparity in how he dealt with even vaccines. Black and brown communities were not being fairly vaccinated. We were not giving out face masks to NYCHA residents. Many of our nurses in hospital did not have PPEs as they were deserved. I remember going to some of the hospitals. They had garbage bags on. And they were using PPEs, the face masks for weeks. And then, many people missed. You talk about Elmhurst Hospital. It was because of defunding and destabilizing those hospitals that when they became ground zero, they were not prepared. And so we need to do a real analysis. And so when I look at some of my black and brown endorsers of the former governor, they need to go look at what I was saying back then of how COVID was unfairly treating and the responses was unfair to the diverse black and brown communities. The impact was real. And we need to analyze that. All of this needs to be part of the conversation as we talk about what we're going to do in the future. -
