a new york state judge struck down new york state's mask mandate saying it is unenforceable, ruling thathe governor and the new york state department of health, they didn't have the authority to do this. that any mask mandate had to have the signoff of the state legislature. nassau county supreme court judge gave the basis for his decision that new york was no longer under that state of emergency at the time the mask mandate was announced. so the governor did not have the authority to order it. so it's really procedurally based. the governor kathy hochul is saying she will immediately try to reverse it saying, quote, my responsibility as governor is to protect new yorkers throughout this public health crisis and these measures help prevent the spread of covid-19 and save lives. but the judge said his decision was only about whether the mandate was properly enacted. to be clear, he says, this court does not intend the decision in any way to question or otherwise opine on the efficacy, need or requirement of masks as a means or tool in dealing with the covid-19 virus. the court decides onl

states being jim crow 2.0. let me give you another particular one as it relates to new york, the majority leader's home state. my state has no-excuse absentee voting. we've had that for many, many years. many years. now, the state of new york just had a statewide referendum to have same-day voter registration and no-excuse absentee voting to meet the high standards that we have in alaska. now the people of new york recently rejected that. i don't know why. i'm not from new york. i'm sure they had what they thought were good reasons to do that. but if the majority leader keeps coming down calling republican states that restrict voting jim crow 2.0, is he going to go to times square and call his own constituents jim crow 2.0 relative to my great state because they just rejected doing this, restricting voting rights according to the majority leader and the president of the united states. there's something really wrong here, mr. president, on these arguments. and it's not just new york, and it's not just me making these arguments about where other states are. and again, my argument here is not to say, well, everyb

and right now the criminal justice system in new york city and new york state is not structured to doslature and governor haven't been tough on crime. there is a clarion call from the mayor. let's see who gets on board. eric is the right man at the right time. not sure about the rest of the political establishment in new york state. >> bill: let me come back to the d.a. in a moment. his plan will go after 30 police precincts where 80% of the city's violence takes place. they used to have a unit that did it for us and the previous mayor bent to the progressive left and dissolved all of it, captain. >> what happened was the unit was dissolved and all those officers went to other assignments where they were still focused on getting guns off the street. doing a good job of that. 6,000 guns taken off the street last year. however, fewer than 100 trials for those carrying those guns, the vast majority of those 6,000 people carrying the guns are still walking the streets of new york, many of them still carrying guns again. they will have to start putting people in jail for the offense of car

project had been deemed less of a priority, and federal officials had disagreed with how much new york state new jersey would contribute. the nearly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, signed into law in november will also help foot the bill for the upgraded tunnel. the tunnel portion of the project will cost an estimated $10 billion, and includes building new tunnel next to the existing one, then a years- long shutdown to overhaul the crumbling original one. in october, amtrak chairman anthony cosciaold us waiting for there to be an acute problem wasn't an option. >> sreenivasan: you know, infrastructure is inherently unsexy. people can't see the result right away, right. and it's, how do you convince people to make a ten-year investment to prevent a problem that might come, right? >> will infrastructure ever be a sexy topic, that i really couldn't comment on, but i have to tell you that people who wait on delayed trains, people who sit in traffic, people who are concerned about the quality of the air we breathe, i think that number has grown to a point where it's a pretty loud audi

the governors of maryland, massachusetts, new jersey and new york state have declared any emergency warning of power outages . thousands of flights have been canceled. the new york city mayor is telling people to stay in doors roll slippery out here today. and so be careful, diploma sanitation did a best group go out early with the best to your to roll. so yes. and why do the job is a clean the streets? so be careful, bundle up. good day to stay home. if you don't have to go out italy's 18 year old president has been confirmed for a 2nd, the term after parliament fail to find a new compromise. candidate mark that i left map that a lot map that i did. a minister says, said your mother, i le conceded to the request to stay on out of a sense of responsibility. he had wanted to retire from the job that he's held since 2013. it is largely ceremonial, but he can play a key role in selecting new governments. south korea has reported another record day of new corona virus cases. more than 17000 have been confirmed. i figured that's more than doubled in the past week. the health ministry says it's m

new york state, i just think, has been so hand fisted, and i have to tell you this, sandra. mic job losses, 19% from new york state alone, and 75% make less than $60,000 a year. again, it's devastating to the lowest income earners, devastating to the smallest businesses, it's just a horrifying sad story that will not go away. some i think, though, the policy has not helped and i think that's why you have a lot of confusion in the white house. >> policy and policy confusion, i would add to that. final question, charles, on this wall street journal editorial. the board at the wall street journal is looking at the impact of the federal extended jobless benefits that were going out for quite some time that eventually ended, and they have concluded this, that the pandemic jobless benefits and work, the correlation there, and this new study that shows the enhanced payments did reduce employment. and charles, this is a debate that raged for quite some time. and the board concluded the fact that unemployment claims are falling now, even amid the fast-spreading omicron suggests the vi

they haven't paid the paycheck of the elected officials and new york state constitution for new york for u.s. citizens, not foreign nationals so somebody from anywhere, an enemy of the u.s. could come in and vote, it's a weird thing. your work on that? >> they don't care about the law, they don't care what the court said or the constitution says, they just continue to do things until somebody tells them they are not supposed to and even like we've seen from biden, they continue to do it despite being told they can't. that's why they are standing up against, protect the sheriff's of america because we do care and uphold the law. >> sheriff, you and i have talked about this multiple times, this country is pro- legal immigration, do it legally, pro- immigrant. when you do it illegally about the wrong way, you get assaulted and murdered and killed along the route up through panama into the u.s., now you've got california governor gavin newsom saying get health coverage to illegal immigrants, this will lure them to make that dangerous route. your reaction? >> what about the americans who d

states and washington, d.c. allow wagers of some kind. new yorkf 18 states to introduce mobile sports betting, and it's a windfall for every state involved. new jersey leads the charge with more than $21 billion in bets since 2018, the state has taken in more than $1.5 billion in revenue. with new york set to collect 51% of the state's mobile betting revenue, it's expected to leap to the top. but where does that money go? under state law in new york, about 80% of its revenue is flagged for two purposes, elementary and secondary education and property tax relief. >> the tax revenue often goes towards a cause that's near and dear. one that stands out to me is in colorado they were looking to fund more clean water projects. and the sports betting bill is tied directly to that cause. so it's really something that helps fund projects that were underfunded in the past. >> reporter: but critics say there is a cost no financial gain can offset. >> people who look at this and say it's not good say you're encouraging people, making it easier for people who

it is unenforceable because when it was made by the governor that all of the citizens of the state of new yorkear a mask in the prevention of covid-19, new york was not under the state of emergency. and because of that, the proper way to do it would have been to go to the legislature, elected by the people, and they would make the decision, and because that wasn't done, it can't be enforced. it is true that it was in november that the new york state health commissioner actually created the regulation that everyone had to wear these masks. the judge said, the new york supreme court in nassau county, he says, to be clear in his ruling, the court does not intend this decision in any way to question or others with opine on the efficacy, need or requirement of masks as a means or tool in dealing with the covid-19 virus. the court decides only the issues of whether the subject rule was properly enacted, and if so, whether the same can be enforced. now, we did learn that the new york state department of education says they're aware of this, that they understand that the department of health is going

it's the state of new york's opinion. state of new york does not have same-day voter registration. in fact, this last november it was on the ballot in the state of new york, and the people of the state of new york overwhelmingly said that's a terrible idea and voted it down. yet senator schumer stands right over there and tells every state, including his, that just voted this down, no, you have to do this. we're going to require it because some people in this body think it should be required. we have a disagreement on that. that's a real disagreement we should be able to debate and talk about, but instead my democrat colleagues are saying if you disagree with me on this, i will blow up the rules of the senate. and will get what i want no matter what. can we not have a disagreement that same-day voter registration may be a bad idea when even the state of new york and the people of new york think it's a bad idea? they have a mandate for using ballot drop boxes. i don't have a problem with ballot drop boxes, but their ballot
