griff griff still playing out tape from this visit earlier. president biden with zelenskyy going around parts of the city and, of course, standing next to zelenskyy making those statements. it was quite a morning. ashley, it was great to be with you. >> ashley: so great jug especially on day like this when you have been to ukraine. obviously our coverage with "fox & friends" is going to continue right now. have a good monday. ♪ >> brian: all right. here we go almost to a year to the day when it began, guess what? we begin with this. president biden making a surprise visit to kyiv this morning. meeting with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy right now. >> lisa: biden and zelenskyy both giving remarks a year of the deadly invasion. >> steve: i know it's 1:00 there in kyiv and poland as well. this was a big surprise, right? >> a huge surprise. president biden wasn't scheduled

to fly out of washington, d.c. until the 6:00 p.m. tonight. instead, they very quietly gathered a press pool and left yesterday about 4:15. the president appeared in kyiv, not on his original itinerary. we were told he was just coming to poland to commemorate the one year anniversary of the russian invasion instead he droons into an active war zone. the "new york times" is reporting that he took an hour's long train ride from poland into the ukrainian capital that is besieged by the russians right now and while there he announced an extra half a billion dollars in new u.s. security assistance. listen. that announcement includes artillery ammunition for himars and howitzers, nor javelins, raiders, they will protect the people from aerial bombardments.

>> he rattled off a lot of different kinds of assistance. it is all equipment that the u.s. has given ukraine so far. ukrainians van v. been asking for f-16s that's not on the list of things the president gave as half a billion dollars. while the president was sitting down next to zelenskyy. a pool reporters asked him if there was going to be any new equipment he said he would have an announcement later today. we stay tuned for that buff, to the aspect of this being such a big surprise, we saw the president and the first lady have a much more active saturday night out and about in washington, d.c. he went to george town. they went to one of the smithsonian museums. they went out to dinner at a restaurant, which they almost never do while they were in washington, d.c. it appears this might have been part of this elaborate ruse to then sneak the president out. because, just yesterday, john kirby said this and now we know that when kirby said this, the

president was already on his way to ukraine. listen. >> well, we, obviously, are maintaining a high degree of solidarity with ukrainian people. there are no plans for the president to enter into cushing e. ukraine on this particular trip. >> pete: they published the president receiving the daily and then leaving this evening. this visit to ukraine comes at perilous moment in this conflict that a lot of ukraine watchers are very worried about because it appears that the chinese are at least open the idea of helping russia that would mean china and russia vs. the u.s. and the rest of nato. that would be a huge conflict. antony blinken says he warned his chinese counterpart about that this weekend.

>> we are concerned that china is considering supporting russia's war effort in ukraine with lethal assistance. as president biden said going back many months much, when the aggression first took place and he spoke to president xi jinping. he told him at that point that there would be real consequences in our own relationship were china to provide lethal assistance to russia's aggression against ukraine. >> griff: so a secret visit to cowan tri we didn't know the president was going to, there is some reporting that he took an hour's long train ride and we do know because we have this on video, we saw him getting out of a white toyota suv. you never see the u.s. president getting out of a cadillac, chevy suburban he is there in whatever they determined the most secure vehicle or the easiest to sneak sneak him around in. and for a visited surprise

everybody here and in moscow as well. >> steve: peter, as you depicted in the "new york times" they got that he took a train from poland in and that train ride, that's how most world leaders have got noon kyiv in the last year it. normally takes about seven hours. we don't know the logistics. buff the reason they don't fly in is because of the threat of missiles, right? >> peter: that's right. and the reason we don't have more details on the ground right now a shrunken down press pool traveling with the president on this secret trip. not a secret anymore. the secret's out. on this trip has agreed as part of the ground rules for safety not to be sharing the president's movements in real time. >> steve: good. >> steve: there is about an hour delay in the information that we get and also in the video that i see and soundbites that you see. they are moving around somewhere

right now. we don't know exactly where the president is. but we will be able to bring that to you guys on a little bit of delay for security reasons. >> steve: absolutely. peter, on the street in warsaw, poland, where the president is heading later today. thank you very much, pirate for the breaking news. >> lisa: thank you, peter. >> steve: we should point out lisa boothe joins us today. >> lisa: what a day to be here. >> steve: presidents' day the president is out of town. >> lisa: there you go. so great to be with y guys. >> brian: almost a year ago we thought ukraine was going to be invaded we were told by all the experts it was going to last three days. he thought that zelenskyy was going to be like go handy of afghanistan and just take the money on hop on a choppy and be gone. remarkably conversational talked about that exchange and the bravery in which the ukrainians have fought and the utter definition of heroic.

they have bombed over 600 hospitals and clinics. they are aiming for civilians, they're kidnapping children, taking them into russia, and adopting them into russian families. the horrific things the russians have done would make most nations cower, the ukrainians have stood up and are more determined than ever georgia would be absorbed. when they line up troops it will be to take poland. when they take poland we have no choice by treaty we have a to fight. to almost everyone's advantage except china, russia and iran for us to be successful. my bigger question is we said no himars. we gave them himars. we said no harpoons we gave them

harpoons. we said no tanks we gave them tanks. they need attack cams and f-16s. the fact that we slow walk everything we give and then we got to train them can we please learn from our mistakes over the last year and exa expedite the things they need to be successful? >> it's interesting. because, as peter pointed out yesterday in yesterday in that madrid our secretary of state tony blinken there were indications china was thinking about getting involved. >> brian: lethal aid. they are already involved. we know they were buying things economically. but if we give -- i think we

should when we are talking about something that could full scale war with russia. one we sent 196 billion of either committed or already sent money. where is that money going? is it being fully audited watch dogs raised concerns how that money is being spent. we don't know what it's being spent. what does winning look like in ukraine as well. look, russia took crimea in 2014. also the eastern part of the donbas region. does winning mean expelling russia from those parts? is it feasible? is it possible? what's it going to take and senator lindsey graham with all due respect he was fine with a 20 year war with afghanistan. that wasn't long enough for him. >> brian: that's not true, lisa, that's not true. >> lisa: what was the exit strategy. >> brian: hold the area. keep an eye on the terrorists and make sure china and iran know that we're go and we hold bagram. this president i had 00 particularly thought it would be a great idea just to leave and

embarrass ourselves and leave our equipment there he was for not elm waiver wassing the country. >> lisa: i know we all interview a lot of military individuals on this show, you know, i have interviewed a lot of people on my podcast as welling and combat guys, special forces, people who saw war a lot of war in afghanistan. the mountains of afghanistan so a lot of their friends i do. >> brian: it's not a matter of us being skepticism, let them absorb all of eastern europe in why not. they took a third of georgia we did nothing. they took crimea in the donbas we did knowing. at one point do you think we should sit there and watch history repeat itself again are we not that stupid to learn from history. >> lisa: with all due respect what's the objective. >> backing up an ally to make sure they are not absorbed by an evil nation.

>> lisa: what's it going to take to do that. >> brian: we are doing it. >> steve: these are all great questions. talk about the analysis of how it is going to impact. but let's get back to what we know for sure. if you are just waking up. president biden made a surprise visit to ukraine we have half billion dollars more stuff the united states will be funneling. although as peter doocy reported a moment ago, sounds like a reporter asked joe biden if there would be more stuff and he said maybe, he would have an announcement later. lieutenant general richard newton retired air force was on "fox & friends" in ukraine on presidents' day. this is extraordinary it. also could be in my view game-changing here to get the strategic communication message not only to the american people

but to nato alliance as well as the rest of the world that our president is willing go kyiv and stand tall with president zelenskyy. the times also is very difficult but also one in this particular situation regarding ukraine and it couldn't be more critical because i believe we are at a crossroads here. there are hundreds of thousands of new recruits and so forth. comes when a time when time is not on ukraineens side. >> brian: if they are looking to bleed russia out, they don't care about their people. they obviously just sent them into a meat grinder. they're emptying their prisons. they have had an estimated 200,000 casualties in a war that was supposed to last three days. killed or wounded 97% of their forces are in ukraine right now. meanwhile, a woman that grew up

rouge baca. >> steve: good morning. >> brian: good morning to you. where do you think we are at with this conflict? what do you think the president's visit means? >> well, where we are with this conflict is that even chairman of the joint chiefs general mark milley has admitted that there is no path to victory for ukraine. my intelligence analysis tells me this war isn't winnable? why? it's because putin's strategy is to outsuffer and outlast the adversary. putin has assembled half a million of new recruits. 315 joining the fight right now. 150 in training camps. as you just said, brian, this is typically putin, putin's russia just throwing bodies into the

grinder. putin knows there is fatigue right now in the united states and in the west because the taxpayer is realizing that they have been sucked dry with 196 billion as lisa pointed out president biden just pulled out with his vehicle. putin is not afraid. he has a plan. playbook which you have. biden completely failed throwing weaponry at ukraine hoping somehow it's going to scare putin. but unfortunately it won't. >> rebecca, are to your point, i think a lot of americans want to know. how much money is that going to take and how much human human suffering has to happen to

achieve that goal. >> here is what he repeated repeatedly what victory looks like to him. it's evicting the russians from the entire territory of ukraine. >> lisa: is that feasible? >> it's absolutely not. because the russians entrenched, especially in crimea. it's an existential it's not feasible. somebody needs to realize that the strategy of just throwing weaponry is not going to work. weaponry and technology do not win wars. strategy does. and, unfortunately, despite 10 years' worth of every single piece of intelligence that we had back in the intelligence community, we had scores of war gaming. predicting and going through this conflict and how it's going to unralph, right? how it's going to unravel is going to ratchet up if tensions

are escalate, it's going to ratchet up cyber arm g.e.d.', nuclear armageddon. president biden knows this. this is why he is not deploying forces into ukraine. is he not sending f-35s into ukraine. >> brian: f 35s were infer on the table. f 16s were on the table. you are going to tell me this is vladimir putin's game plan lose 200,000 in year one. his plan was to win in one week. he had officers going to in mr. w. police uniforms. nothing vladimir putin has planned has gob to what he wanted. >> nothing that he has planned in the beginning, you are absolutely correct; brian. he didn't take -- he miscalculated how long it's going to take him to. >> brian: he miscalculated everything. >> well, not everything. not everything. because, again, putin is planning for a relentless draining war of attrition.

throwing people into the meat grinder, yes. they lost 200,000 men. in world war ii the russians sack i have advised 25 million. the russians 143. can you do the math. that is prohibitive, so the conflict is going to go on forever. and as long as it goes on, putin achieves his goal. his definition of victory is very dinner from ours preventing us many victory. ukraine has been disseminated. its industrial base is destroyed. its agricultural base is destroyed. it's ceasing to exist as a viable country we are providing the entire domestic product. they entirely depending on us. and right now the pentagon is

already telegraphing two ukraine that this is unsustainable. because we are doing our own review because our own weapon stockpile is depleting. some of these weaponry is going to take 70 to 08 years to replace. ukraine is having an extremely high burn rate of ammo. 5,000 rowneldz a day so our production strategy is outmatched. the strategy reveals the pentagon's inability to plan for anything, right? so right now when china is actually looming this is what i'm predicting right now. i see the writing on the wall, china is gearing up for war, right? xi jinping has installed a war time cabinet back in october. china just identified a glaring airspace security gaps in our

defenses again the pentagon, there is will intellectual laziness and imaging. we think herb fights like americans, everybody thinks like americans. the spent decades figuring out our vulnerability of thes. we are vulnerable in cyber. we are vulnerable in our space. so we need to sit down and really think about how to go about these wars. how to prevent them before. >> steve: rebecca, can i ask you a question, you are talking a little bit. anybody that's just getting up. joe biden is in ukraine this arch there. you are talking about china may get involved militarily to assist russia. as we have moved into the second year of this war what does that look like if suddenly china is feeding russia stuff they need to blow us up? >> exactly steve they already have. china is providing drones to

russia that russia has been using to try -- to target ukraine. as you remember, prior to february 24, last year. xi jinping and putin met and they struggled with no limits partnership, right? they are not true partners in the true sense. they are more of adversaries. but their marriage of convenience because they are both hell bent on challenging the united states. so, they are about to start providing. my intelligence and assets tells me lethal weaponry. so the major thing, the major threat that we should now be concerned about instead of hyper focusing on this conflict which the pentagon typically does, fighting the last war, we need to focus on the big picture. so, here's the biggest threat. if russia and china challenge us in the two theater war. we are going to have a really hard time prevailing. because as i said, we are

depleting our own weapons supply, military analysts are right now estimating that we're going to run out of weaponry in about one to two weeks if china invades taiwan, which the estimate right now, my own assessment is going to happen during biden's term. cia director william burns warned us that by 2027, xi already gave order to the military of china to get ready for war. xi directly said every needs to put into that war. war is something that i anticipate. >> brian: rebekah what message does it send to china if we allow russia to absorb ukraine and don't do anything? >> so, what china -- the lesson that china is learning right n now. >> brian: just answer my question. >> sure. >> brian: if we said okay, take

ukraine. zelenskyy, you want to vacation in the caribbean, why don't you go ahead and take that. what -- how soon do you think china would have taken taiwan already? >> china would have taken it very quickly. >> brian: exactly. so you have to -- you are talking generally. you have to talk in the real world. in the real world. >> i'm talking real world, brian. >> brian: either we help ukraine or allow it to be taken over and understand the ripple effect will be goodbye moldova which is already happening. goodbye georgia which they lost about two provinces and then go ahead and start mounting troops on poland. unless they flip governments and they have already started to infiltrate into the baltic nations at one point we are going to be fighting over there. so we either back ukraine to fight or just give eastern europe back to russia and that really doesn't go well. >> two points. first, with all due respect to you, there's a logical

disconnect in your argument. on the one hand everybody is saying how tactical incompetent russia is. how it's losing how in the world do you think russia is going to attack poland which is a nato country which will trigger article 5. >> brian: they would wait a couple years, they rearm and they would go. do i think they would be successful in poland? they would just grind it out again by your theory. and that's what they would do. >> not suicidal. there is no intelligence, brian. and i spent my intelligence career on this guy. putin. >> brian: so he would stop at ukraine? >> okay. here's my assessment on what putin would potentially agree to, if we were to put the plan on the table. he would agree to keeping the 20% of ukrainians' territory.

kherson, donetsk and luhansk which is pretty much the donbas region will industrial base plus crimea. if we were to ever recognize which we won't. >> brian: give up the country. >> not the country. 20%. >> brian: the most industrious part of the country exactly and i'm not advocating this. >> lisa: donbas region? >> brian: it was a contested region. >> lisa: 2014. >> brian: crimea more of a vacation spot. should have never been allowed to be taken. to say give up 25% of the country because they want it and think is going to stop there is crazy. >> i'm not advocating. >> brian: thank you for joining us. >> of course, thank you nor having me. >> lisa: thank you so much, appreciate it. >> steve: all right. let's get back to the breaking news. that is that the president of the united states apparently is on the ground in ukraine so is

steve harrigan. with the very latest. he is in kyiv. steve, this was a surprise this morning and for security reasons, we don't know exactly where the president is right now. the video we are seeing has been shipped to us by a taped delay so we would imagine he is either still on the ground about to leave or he could actually be back on a train, right? >> that's right, steve there was some speculation. we knew he was going to poland. would he take the security risk for a major symbolic move by coming to the heart of kyiv, a city that is still on many days under attack? gets hit by rocket. we try and pull that off? i can tell you from this vantage point in the hotel we could see down there at saint michaels monastery he did. he was walking out with president zelenskyy of ukraine. they came out and laid a wreath at the memorial for soldiers who have been killed in this war. they also met at the presidential palace before that

we saw a huge motorcade. we thought he might be coming and as you know we have seen this in presidential administrations past, quick secret visit to afghanistan or iraq, you usually don't know about it until it's already happened. this time he saw him on the ground and certainly a huge boost for ukraine and it comes at really a critical time. zelenskyy has said this is the most important visit ever in the history of u.s. ukrainian relations and president biden spoke briefly to the media after the meeting and he said in addition to announcing about $500 million worth of military aid, he said he took some credit for predicting the invasion and helping to keep the world together in the year since that happened. here is president biden. i asked you what is there, mr. president, what can i do for you? how can i be of help? and i don't know if you remember what you said to me but you said and i quote: gather the leaders

of the world ask them to support ukraine. >> this comes at a critical time of course as well. russia is now trying to launch an offensive in the east. they have been pummeling the ukraineen army with you artillery. new concerns expressed by the secretary of state. that china could ler enter the fray at least by supplying lethal aid to russia and that would certainly escalate things further a year ago, russian leaders were crowing about how they were going to take kyiv in three days a year later zelenskyy and biden walking the streets of kyiv. guys? >> brian: very few people have a sense of russia than you. you lived there for a while. can you give a sense of how the russian people view 24 conflict? are they really that clueless that they really think they are denazifying ukraine? do they buy that?

>> i think the basic attitude of many russians who i know and who i have spoken to over the last year just keep your head down and keep out of trouble. don't get thrown in jail. maybe this will go away. it's a weird system when you have one guy who controls everything. he controls the television channels. if you go out and protest you get thrown in jail or worse. so they are keeping their head down for now just trying to bear with it. >> steve, i have a quick question for you. since you are advantage point where you can look down and see the president in with your own two eyes in the square behind you. i know we got the news that the president was there at about 5:00 eastern time this morning. but, before that, i was noticing on some international twitter accounts they had pictures of the president. so did the people of ukraine know the president was there before we did? >> i think some people out on the street knew and some people certainly had suspicions when you saw the huge motorcade and also elaborate security

beforehand. a lot of journalists were shut in their hotels, windows closed and snipers up on roofs. it had to be somebody very important. with biden heading to poland many thought this would president biden. there was a lot of excitement just to see the two leaders walk out math monastery behind me on a sunny day about 35 days. air raid sirens actually went off while biden was inside that monastery so certainly the risk is real. >> lisa: what kind of news coverage in ukraine? iptiond media or is it pretty controlled? >> i think it's an independent media but it is a country at war. there is certainly a lot of patriotism, not a lot of criticism. last months some apension paid to corruption. some attention to rooting out corruption of western aid. people trying to steal and publicizing that. this is negative press as well as opposed to russia where it is out and out mind control.

>> brian: stay safe. check in with you again. a lot of action in kyiv today. 29 minutes after the hour. a fox news alert. our coverage continues as president biden surprised visit to ukraine to mark the one year anniversary of the a russian invasion e goes munich, we believe, from there. >> steve: poland. ♪ trelegy for copd. ♪ birds flyin' high, you know how i feel. ♪ ♪ breeze driftin' on... ♪ [coughing] ♪ ...by, you know how i feel. ♪ if you're tired of staring down your copd,... ♪ it's a new dawn, ♪ ♪ it's a new day... ♪ ...stop settling. ♪ ...and i'm feelin' good. ♪ start a new day with trelegy. no once-daily copd medicine has the power to treat copd in as many ways as trelegy. with three medicines in one inhaler, trelegy makes breathing easier for a full 24 hours, improves lung function, and helps prevent future flare-ups. trelegy won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it.

and meeting with president zelenskyy in the capital city of kyiv. biden and zelenskyy both delivering remarks and president biden hinted upcoming announcement of an additional $500 million worth of military aid for the war torn country. listen. >> that announcement includes artillery ammunition for i had s and howitzers. radar system protect ukrainian people from aerial bombardments. >> brian: president biden was supposed to travel to poland to remark the one year invasion of ukraine. more health concerns for the community of east palestine because we are covering this story simultaneously. >> steve: that's right. there you have got the images there as the clean up continues weeks after the toxic train derailment. lawmakers say residents have a right to be scoin skeptical and

returning back to normal. >> lisa: lucas has details. >> good morning, guys. after two weeks after that massive train derailment. still emotions on the ground. some are scared others want to press on. as you mentioned many people here in this small town still not trusting what the government is telling them about the air and water. here is ohio's democratic senator. >> well, they are right to be skeptical. this is the same old stories, corporations do stock buy back, they do big dividend checks they lay off workers, thousands of workers have been laid off from norfolk southern. then they don't invest in safety rules and safety regulations and this kind of things happens. that's why the people in east palestine are so upset. >> over the weekend, norfolk southern ceo returned here to meet local officials. hills railway has been handing out thousand dollar checks but

only people here in east palestine zip code only. others in the surrounding area in a town south of here say they are being forgotten. president biden's transportation secretary writing to norfolk southern ceo quote norfolk southern must live up to its commitment to make residents whole and also must live up to its obligation to do whatever it takes to stop putting communities, such as the east palestine at risk. not everyone in this town is scared or feeling sick. we spoke to the head of a youth basketball league here in town. he said he had to cancel a hoops tournament over the weekend robbing of a chance to compete. kids that have been in school in person, guys, for a week. >> our sports program in east palestine has had a series of cancellations that have drastically affected our sports program. we had a series of tournaments that bring in a ton of revenue for our district. >> how much? >> about $40,000. that was canceled because of the hysteria around this whole event. because no teams wanted to come to east palestine.

>> this as clean up efforts continue here in town after that massive derailment less than a mile from where i'm standing. some residents have appreciated what norfolk southern is doing to compensate them. others remain very angry. former president donald trump is due to visit here in east palestine on wednesday, guys. >> steve: lucas, i was going to say. speaking of the railroad. didn't the ceo show up in person over the weekend and did he wind up getting an earful? >> well, it was another unannounce the visit. very quiet. came here saturday. notably did not hold a press conference. fox we were able to talk to him for all about six seconds before he ducked into his car, steve pete buttigieg has written him a letter that said essentially this is on you oceo are

apologize to this town. going to stay as long as it takes. anger over norfolk southern train derailed a mile away down the street all these toxic chemicals like vinyl chloride going in the air. we saw in the stream over the weekend there are still chems in the water. other people like matt warner head of youth sports says he has been compensated they are paying out. committed to staying here as long as it takes and they say let's press on. let's get after it. >> steve: i think we just saw that six second soundbite with the guy getting in the car. >> brian: lucas, this coach is saying hey i'm all for being cautious. haven't these kids been through enough. let them play the game. people are afraid to travel. they lost tens of thousands of dollars because no one wants to play basketball against them. >> that's right. we went to the gym yesterday, brian. we went there. they held inner squad scrimmage because none of the teams would come here. when i asked residents are you sick? are you okay? they said we are fine.

the kids were playing. nobody from the other opposing teams showed up. even happened in women's play off game a few days ago. the visiting team failed to come here so east palestine's east palestine events. >> lisa: you mentioned the compensation is that coming with strings attached? i know there has been concerns about that in east palestine. is it? , lisa, i have asked that same question. no. the thousand dollar checks are being dubbed inconvenience fee. big issue, lisa, only going to people here in the east palestine zip code only. down the road they say that's where all the water is going by the way from creeks and streams. they say they are not going anything. spoke to a woman who who has ross a lot of chickens and animals. she says she hasn't received anything. they want to be ocompensated on the board with pennsylvania. we had pennsylvania residents showing up where is our compensation. they want those checks to be expanded, guys. >> brian: fema did show up and give some water. that was nice of them.

>> lisa: thank you for your reporting, lucas. thank you so much. >> brian: see what happens. they want to blame trump. trump situation was with brakes. >> lisa: always find a way to blame him. it's crazy. >> brian: pete buttigieg from afar great at tweeting and writing letters. meanwhile straight ahead. monitoring the latest developments from ukraine as in case you do not know, president biden made a surprise trip to the war torn capital just now. >> steve: right. still could be there. hotel rooms here in new york city are no longer being filled by tourists, instead, illegal migrants. we are going to talk to base honorary who says having the migrants in new york city in the hotels costing them big time. ♪ ing] hi, susan. honey. yeah. i respect that. but that cough looks pretty bad. try this robitussin honey. the real honey you love, plus the powerful cough relief you need. mind if i root through your trash? robitussin. the only brand with real honeyand elderberry. where there's a pet there's always...this. that's why we have the maytag pet pro laundry pair.

>> lisa: new york city business owners say they are missing out on money as the big apple rushes to shelter 45,000 migrants inside hotels instead of tourists. our next guest is the owner of a cafe located down the block from

a 491 room holiday inn that began housing migrants this month. the owner of cafe joins us now being a about issues owner and restaurant owner is hard enough. how does this impact your business? >> it's been a huge impact. it's been an impact not only because of the fact that it's there. there has been no engagement so we were blindsided by the change. we were opposite the world's tallest holiday inn now the world's largest immigrant facility. i understand is an important part of the process for new york. very much small businesses that surround the area didn't know it was happening and all of the sudden a lot of the revenue that we were relying upon from the tourists has essentially disappeared. >> lisa: coming at great cost to the city as well. look at sheltering migrant costs

2022 by burrow. tweens 32.5, manhattan 33.4. brooklyn 19.7, the bronx 10.7 million. do you feel like our leaders here receptive to your concerns? too they each karen? >> it's funny, so we are the downtown financial district of new york city, which is arguably one of the most highly sought after real estate locations in new york. surely there must be a much more efficient location to house these people in and much more effective place to house them. in i have equally reached out to local council member christopher marks to see what we can do. surely there is a way they with work with the community and businesses so we can insure that we remain a viable concern and not become a byproduct of this decision that they have made without engagement of the community jobs here at stake,

there are businesses and livelihoods at stake ultimately we would like to make sure we work with the council and the city to see how we can pivot and try to address the lack of tourist money that is coming through our local community. >> lisa: is it loitering too or the lack of tourists? what's impacting it the most real quick. >> a lack of tourists is the first thing. there is an intended consequence because of the fact there are no tourists coming through the area. all of a sudden you don't have the thoroughfare, the walk through from tourists, so you do have a lot of dead time. and generally like it usually is, people don't like being in areas that there are no other people in there. so, you have bit of a ghost town feel which will follow through with some sort of just inappropriate behavior. because there is no one around. i'm sorry. >> lisa: appreciate your time. thank you so much for joining us. i hope to hear your concerns.
