now i'm chasing news. not exactly what you might think. could introducing cougars back into the wild be the key to our growing deer population? let's find out. >> if they could build a bridge over manhattan so revolutionary that i hopped into a plane to see what i would look like. >> that's called the empire state gateway with all the challenges here in new york it certainly is a solution that soars above it all. >> anybody can come up with an idea and throat out there. he has an actual plan. >> this is a look at some of the bernie supporters.

>> you're here for bernie? >> yes. >> this group had about 200 members and they call themselves [inaudible] >> it's a safe haven for anybody who wants. >> everybody knows in the garden state, dear our problem. thousands of collisions every year. somebody has a solution but it involves cougars. >> it does. want to talk to about deer. they're beautiful and majestic creatures and we love seeing them prance around the tri-state area but we don't love them on the road that we drive on and they tend to do that. did you know dear cause more than 1 million vehicle crashes a year and cost billions of dollars of damage and result in 200 auto deaths as well? what's the first thing that pops

in your head to control the population acting, being careful, what about cougars, wild cougars, eastern cougars question that's what a study at of the university of washington said. if we introduced cougars, if we introduced cougars, a natural predator into the wild. the problem is the wild is directly adjacent to very populated area. >> we call them backyards. >> basically. >> check out one of these cougars in new jersey. >> scientists contend if done correctly they could prevent 100625 deaths, five deaths, 21000 injuries and save over $2 billion over 30 years but do cougars kill humans? yes, cougars kill humans.

they estimate there would be 30 cougar related deaths in the same span but they are saying that's much less than what the deer cause. i are we having such a deer population problem? i will let our good friend and hunter expert tell you. i caught up with him at his house. >> cougars question we just want to make sure it's public whose idea it was so when the first child gets snatched out of the yard or pet. >> they're not stupid. they're not can it chase a deer that can run 40 miles an hour when they can grab a child that can run a mile and a half. >> he also said the deer population is high because it is not enough young people interested in hunter. >> we need to get more people into the sport. i'm trying to get guys like you who have never tried it and then they're like my goodness this is the most delicious meat i've ever had. >> you in the cougar have something in common.

>> yes. >> i'll take my chances with the deer because death by cougar sounds horrible. >> this is not asked story from the onion this is real. 200 deaths versus 30 deaths. >> cougars attacking people, as much as it happened before it's extremely rare. >> it's rare because we captured them and put them in dues or kill them. >> this is super gross. check out this green foam bubbling out of storm drains in utah. they are investigating the mysterious stuff but they believe it's a nearby canal connected to a river to utah lake which has some issues.

>> a new proposal to build a bridge over manhattan is so revolutionary that i hopped into a plane, took control of the gears and took to the sky to see what it would look like from thousands of feet in the air. >> absolute gorgeous i hopped into an in affinity plane. once we are in the air i had a sense of how majestic and bold this plan is. >> that's the empire state gateway with all the transportation challenges here new york it certainly is a solution that soars above it all literally. >> i caught up with scott spencer. he is the creator of empire state gateway. he said his plan would solve most of the transportation issues before authorities are dealing with right now. >> the proposed proposal is lanes but it doesn't really add capacity in penn station and it still over a hundred years old and very slow.

they don't solve the problem on the other side of penn station which is the east river tunnels. >> what this entails is twin suspension bridges and from there you soar above the hudson river, 212 feet in the air above 38th st. and westbound above 39th street in the opposite direction. this twin suspension bridge would go all the way into queens i asked how much it would cost and he set about $20 billion which is is the same amount being projected for the new tunnels under the hudson river. >> it would not need all the public funding from the state of new jersey and new york or the federal government because as much as 75% of it can be paid in user fees. >> there are four different generating levels to this plan. utility conduits for power, electric, telecommunications and then the second level would be only train. >> the hudson level is just one

track in each direction. this would have two tracks in each direction. above that two lanes in each direction. it would allow you to walk or bike as well. >> this would benefit everybody. it would be a remarkable access to residential areas.

>> they see nothing like this before. it's a compelling issue for the port authority is that it solves so many challenges with one project. this is absolutely positively the best idea i've heard of lately. anybody can come up with an idea and throat out there but he has an actual plan. >> you have to have capital to start building. this bridge would be for 100 or 200 years. were talking about transforming the state of new york city. >> if you couldn't get a seat you can still catch the show outside.

>> there just saying it's just a couple thousand people, they're the minority, nobody really cares, they're cares, they're not going to make a difference but they really felt that way than they would not block the cell. >> you're here for bernie? >> yes i'm here for bernie. they set up small tents and charge their phones at the solar station. >> is this broccoli? >> with sun flare anyone for some sun flare broccoli others opt for a hammock and throw their belongings in a tree. not everyone is aligned with one political group. others say they are just supporting peace. this group has about 200 members and they call themselves up to

us. >> we are safe haven for anyone in the park to come out here and rest, we have a hammock set up and you can take a breather and have some water we try to get some food out here every once in a while but it's just a part of bringing everyone together. >> you might hear some music behind me. there's already a band set up in the park. some might say there's more of a party here and at the convention right now. >> where do they go to the bathroom? >> i saw some porter potties set up but i haven't ventured in there yet. >> some democrat bowed to be with bernie sanders until the end. i came here to the renaissance hotel outside the philadelphia airport where the new jersey delegation is staying in talk to assembly us men who is the campaign chair of bernie's new

jersey's get out the vote effort. he said it's time to move on and beat donald trump in november with their candidate hillary clinton. >> we fought hard. we came close but we didn't win. i can't see president trump, i don't want to see president trump. so we have to come together to elect hillary clinton, our next president - i caught up with jersey city mayor who has been caught up in a scandal involving $1 million that was allegedly given to a super pack on his behalf if you were to run for governor. >> what your thoughts on that. >> had a have any thoughts on it. i wasn't involved in it. i had no control over it. had no control over any about stuff. it's not my friend. you have to find a person who is responsible for it. that's all. i also caught up with state senator and asked him what his impressions were now that were a day two of the convention. >> cory booker was great but after michelle spoke

>> were in new york city chasing rats. some real and some political. what you have. >> if you live in new york city you can smell a rat. they are everywhere like in this brooklyn park i visited. >> there's one, there's lots of them. woe. you have your entire rat ecosystem right here. they are everywhere this goes back to the 1600. >> that's johnny park of alleycat exterminating. >> he's been fighting rats for three generations and now a fourth. >> so many how many poisons you have? >> it smells like graham crackers. it's like you just opened up a bag of telegrams. is the city being as hard on rats as they should be. >> i think they slow down. >> i think they got a little soft on them. i think a little bit. they also wage war against the city's remnants.

>> that's a mountain of garbage right there. that's going bad. were in brooklyn and there's a giant pile of trash right here in a public park. none of it sealed. there were open trashbags everywhere with rats. >> looking at this garbage, you don't understand how many could be inside of that. they come out eat there and go right back - it's like a buffet. >> yes, definitely a. >> we found one bag that is part of a program which is the company that makes these mint scented rodent repelling bags received $3 million from the city and what some say was a sweetheart deal after the owner donated money to a mayor diblasio charity. this one didn't work i think the

way it's supposed to work is there supposed to be a scent that drives away the rap but using it doesn't work? >> no. that's not the work. we reached out to the new york department of health for comment on their rodent control policies and didn't hear back. >> i never understood the whole idea of a rodent repelling bag. the real issue is the owner of this company gave $100,000 to thousand dollars to mayor diblasio and got a lucrative multimillion dollar deal and the first contract they got was no bid so something stinks and it's not just the trash or the rats. >> i'm in new workout gear for women who practice modesty. >> i respect people's religious white writes but i'm not an advocate of women covering up at the gym. >> what a super tuesday.
