there's a milk strike in new york city. the upstate dairies can't get the milk into new york city. they then have a milk strike upstate where the producers won't ship it to new york city. well, none of this is within the purview of the governor's powers. the governor tries to get his department of farms and markets to act. they don't act because they don't report to the governor because the governor has no power over his own departments. hearst won't take this answer. he says you're moving too slow on municipal ownership. you're the governor. make the legislature do this. they won't do this. smith goes head to head with him. october 29th, 1919, he takes the stage at carnegie hall and has it out with hearst. he has a debate. invites hearst to the debate. hearst won't show up to the debate. he goes to sam simeon and buys more art work. smith goes and probably loses control, red in the face, screams and yells about this man and unmasks hearst. hearst ironically comes out and backs smith for re-election. smith wants nothing to do with it. he battles again in 1922. smith is going to make

these schools for taking the city on let's not forget that both of these law schools are based in new york city and. it's an interesting undertaking to study the the law enforcement agency in the city where you have your school but nonetheless i think that we'll see a mirror of these sort of policies reverberating throughout other police agencies throughout the nation particularly because it seems the n.y.p.d. was able to get away with it here i think once occupy wall street happened here everyone else in the world was watching what the response would be and once they saw that response and what then white t.v. was able to get away with i think many other jurisdictions thought ok well if n.y.p.d. is doing it then we can do it and we can get away with it and i think the next series of research will show that there's a pattern and that the next step in the pattern is covering up and to take responsibility for the actions well certainly interesting when you read some of the findings in this report appreciate you weighing in a minute because she obviously she lost in new york city. i think coming up
