book examples of how they try to intimidate you. >> i wrote this piece originally in 2017 for the new yorker what was different about that from before was that i was not the first person to write about the sackler's by any stretch. the new york times writing about his book painkiller that came out in 2003, they had written about agreement which epic came out in 2015. in both of those books, the sackler's are like one strand of a kind of multi strand narrative or one strand of a tapestry. i was amazed when i started looking into it but they still have their correct name. it haven't caught up with them even though it was out there in public records they owned this company and were implicated -- >> you could even find their names on the website. >> to me it was a con job where part of what the family has been so good at for decades is marketing. in some ways the greatest con they ever pulled was to write the family out of the history of the family business. i was astonished that even after meyer's book and it didn't seem to have caught up with him, all kinds of excuses taken the money and putti

>> i wrote this piece originally in 2017 for the new yorker and what was different aboutor that piecehat i was not the first person to write about the sackler's by any stretch, they had read about him in the book painkiller that came out in 2003 and he was written about in his book dreamland. so in both of those books they are one strand of a multi strand narrative of part of a tapestry. i am just amazed when i looked into it, they still have their good name. it hadn't caught up with them that they own this company and i thought implicated. >> you can even find their names on the website. >> to me it was a con job where what they had been so good at for decades and in some ways the greatest con ever told was to write the family out of the history of the family business. i was astonished it just didn't seem to catch up with them so i wanted to write a piece that there was nowhere to hide. but then the family was just they are centerstage. i requested interviews. they would not talk to me i have since learned this is very classic sackler but mysterious is in the word because and then it

the wall street journal" the day after i win i'm taking a flight to florida and telling all those new yorkersck to new york. tell me what argument you're going to make to them. right now if the democrats get what they want, like alexandria ocasio-cortez, the combined state income tax and city tax for those new yorkers will be 61.2%, which is definitely the highest in the nation. so what are you going to tell them to get them to come back to that tax environment? >> let me tell you what i hear all the time when i'm in florida, the hamptons, upstate. eric, listen, we know we have to pay our share of taxes. but we don't want to pay taxes and have an unclean, unkempt, unsafe city. the prerequisite to prosperity for new york is public safety and justice. you have a safe city, you're going to have your new yorkers back. our real estate rental properties, we're booming right now. people want to be here and we're going to create that environment for them to stay here. >> i appreciate your time, eric adams. if you do, quote, bring their butts back. i appreciate your time. and thanks to all of you for

. >> guest: so i i wrote this original in 2017 for the new yorker and what was different about that piece from what i had come before was that i was at the first person to write about the sacklers by any stretch. harry meyer in the "new york times" had written about them into spoke painkiller which came out in 2003. dreamland came out in 2015. but in both of those books the sacklers are like one strand of a kind of multi strand narrative, or one strand of a tapestry. i was amazed when i started looking into it that they kind of still had their good name. it had not kept up with them even though it is out there in the public records that they own this company and i thought implicated. >> host: you couldn't even find their names on the purdue website. >> guest: to meet it was this con job or part of what this family is so good at for decades, , go back to the 1950s is marketing. in some ways the greatest con the ever pulled was to write the family out of the history of the family business. i think i was astonished that even after the other books aitchison seem to have caught up with them. l

to answer your question, we've lost 13 new yorkers and it's horrible. we lost 13 new yorkers. and it is because the storm was so ferocious and sudden and the rainfall accumulation. this is not a challenge we had in the past. in the past you think about flooding, it was coastal areas. that was a huge challenge. this is something entirely new. rain that accumulates so quickly that people can be trapped in their own basement far away from any sea shore, and that people can be trapped in their cars because the rain accumulates so quickly they don't even know what hit them. we're in a whole different world and we're all going to have to act very differently because this is not the world we knew. this is a kind of extreme brutal weather that's a whole new ball game. not just here. obviously what happened in louisiana is happening in the southwest with the drought, what's happening in california with the fires. this is a climate change that will take different responses. >> new york city and central park broke the single-hour rainfall record yesterday basically, the most rainfall eve

know it's a problem for them because one of the reviews of the book said something about how the new yorkerazine is like the house organ of the kind of people the sackler surrounds himself with, i thinkas there probably was some sense a piece in the new t yorker made it harr and a lot of people in their world read and there was an article that came out almost exactly the same time also about the sackler's but they were silent, they didn't say anything, the family didn't. i didn't have any intention of writing a book about time and early 2019, the attorney general of massachusetts did something nobody had done up until then. pretty much every state inn the union was suing purdue. the first attorney general to suit individual members of the sackler family and she had an amazing legal complaint with a lot of new material in it and i thought i'm going to write a book about time and that's when the campaign started it was announced i was doing this book. raymond sackler family engaged a lawyer he specializes in trying to intimidate journalists kill stories before they get written, a real murder

you first read about the family for the day new yorker in 2017.that was a great space on —- that was a great piece that inspired and spawned a lot of interest of accountability and justice and made a great impact. so what kind of pushback are you getting now? you say to the end of the book of how they tried to intimidate you. >> i wrote a piece originally in 2017 for the new yorker and what was different about that piece from before is that i was not thehe first person to write about the sackler's by any stretch. "the new york times" were written about in their book one —- and his blood painkiller in 2003. also they are written in a book in 2015 called dreamland. but in both of those book the sackler czar one strand of a multi strand narrative of the tapestry. i was just amazed when i started to look into it that they still have their good name. it hadn't caught up with them even though it is in the public record that they own this company and i thought they were implicated. you can find their names on the website. it was a good job where part of

quicksilver this piece originally in 2017 for the new yorker. i was not the first guy to write about the sack was by any stretch, barry meyer and the "new york times" had written about them in his book painkiller which came out 2003. hood written about him and dreamland which came out in 2015. oboth of those books the sackler's art one strand of eight multi strand narrative or one strand of the tapestry. i was just amazed when i started looking into it that they kind of still had their good name. it hade. not caught up with them for even though it was out there in the public record that they own this company and i thought were implicated but. >> you cannot even find their names on the purdue website could you? >> to me it was a con job. part of what the family had been so good at for decades, going back to the 1950s is marketing. and in some ways the greatest con they ever pulled was to write the family out of the history of the family business. i think i was kind of astonished that even after the book, it just did not seem to have caught up with

one thing -- i know you are a new yorker, i am a new yorker.ill tell you one thing you know about new york, they handle big things brilliantly. there was not a problem of coordination on september 11, 2001, because it was bigger than everybody involved in it. so nobody was asserting ego. fire department should take over the police department, the mayor. everyone sub limbmated their ego to how big it was. they are terrific at big emergencies. where the problems occur, that you reported and found, it's in the smaller situations where they have time to debate who is better, who is more effective. i come from a family of four uncles who were police officers and one who was a firefighter. so i know this from the time i was two years old. and if it's a big emergency, they will all be in there helping each other and assisting each other. if it's an extraction from a car they are going to race to get there because the police department feels they can do it better, and the fire department feels they can do it better, and that's why you need an oem. you

maybe they don't see that about new yorkers anymore. but if the same thing happened today that happened 20 years ago new yorkers still would have poured into that building rescuing people. poured into that rubble looking for survivors. so as much as things have changed, we are still the same people here in this country. sadly it takes a tragedy like that to bring that out in all of us see we realize we are one nation under god. dana: that courage and bravery inspired people even today. they have an award for people who do something at a particular time to keep going. we'll reflect on how sports helped heal the country after one of america's darkest days. oh! are you using liberty mutual's coverage customizer tool? so you only pay for what you need. sorry? limu, you're an animal! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ one of my favorite supplements is qunol turmeric. turmeric helps with healthy joints and inflammation support. unlike regular turmeric supplements qunol's superior absorption helps me get the fu

though much has changed here, for new yorkers who lived through 9/11, the stars never faded. >> my momed out and said, i need you to look at this because it is history. nada: hand i remember's the chaos of being pulled from school just locks -- hannah remembers the chaos of being pulled from school just blocks from the towers. >> ikind of restarted my life. we always talk about it before and after 9/11. after that day, i realized how important community is and service is. nada: kids now learned about 9/11 as a moment of history. they see the shocking videos but do not have lived experience. still all around them are hunting reminders that the tragedy is not over. when the twin towers collapsed, lower manhattan was blanketed in a toxic cloud. and for months, first responders and those who worked, studied, and lived here breathe in that air, air contaminated by glass shards, asbestos, and building materials. that lead to long-term health problems. so 20 years on, the death toll from this tragedy continues to rise. rob's first day as a firefighte was on 9/11. 20 years later, he is still a

we are new yorkers. david: thank you for being with us. mr. , brooklyn borough president and academy --nominee for mayor. alix: as someone who lives in brooklyn and grew up in new york city, i totally feel that new york pride. guy: 100%. this is a city that has been through so much and continued to deliver. there are new challenges every turn. crime is one of them. we were just hearing about that. you have been talking about songs the last few days and weeks. that draws a line on what is happening in washington. you look at the tax story. there are new challenges. the dynamism is always there. you have that dynamic ability to adapt to change. you should be all right. alix: i guess you could say this for many different contexts, but the change we are looking at in terms of work from home is going to be a longer-term issue. you need that person to come in and go to work so he can go by lunch -- go buy lunch at the local store. if you only have that three days a week, how do you recalibrate that? that is going to be a long-term effect for new york

that morning, a beautiful blue sky new yorkers called the september 11th sky was walking to work at foxer it was low. it was loud. i looked up and that image of that plane is forever cedar in my memory. it was flying like this, very -- they call it crabby which is going sideways, aviation parlance. and it came over and it banked to the right slightly as it went right over my head and then disappeared over the building line. that was when mohammed atta directly was -- directing toward the world trade center. frank siller is coming out. this is live right now. we have been showing frank and his walk there is frank come out of the brooklyn battery live here on the fox news channel just blocks from the world trade center. you can see the group around him. this is just absolutely amazing. the story of his brother stephen volunteering that morning, walking through the tunnel, just what i remember it. what is so more meaningful and important of this day is what we are seeing right now live here on the fox news channel. the love, the caring, the dedication, the selflessness, humanitarianism of

july 13th to 16th, 1863, in the middle of the civil war, thousands of poor and working class white new yorkers, incensed by inequities in the new military draft, resentful about wartime hardship and enflamed by the lincoln administration's emancipation policies, looted and destroyed buildings, battled police, state militia and federal troops and brutally attacked the city's african-american residents. in the century and a half since the new york city draft riots, numerous scholarly monographs, popular books and articles have narrated and examined the significance of the events that comprised the largest civil insurrection in u.s. history. and most of these works have included illustrations of the violence that were published in its immediate aftermath in the weekly pictorial newspapers. none of these many meticulous and illuminating studies or popular accounts have used these images as much more than endorsement for or reiteration of their text. certainly, they have not shown this evidence to be evaluated in their own right. eight illustrated newspapers covered the riots. the three american pi

and i'm a new yorker too. so. anybody's watching on c-span relax. we're good. but i will say and again this goes to my you know what you can love them or hate them kind of thing. i will say and i do mean this i think with his combined impact on the battle. for better or worse the historiography for better or worse and battlefield preservation mostly for the better. i do think that makes them one of the most monumental no pun intended figures in the gettysburg story and there are not many gettysburg individuals or generals where the the tail spans all of these different areas and that is what makes studying gain sickles important and i think if you kind of ignore sickles, some people are wants to do i don't think you then really have a good grasp on the history of gettysburg and that's what i think makes makes him important. now, of course he first comes to prominence historical prominence. he had already been a noteworthy politician of zara, but he first comes to historical prominence in 1859 with the murder of philip barton key on the streets of washington and

clean-up effort and we are going to do new things of warning systems and technology and let everyday new yorkers know when a storm is coming. >> it is obvious though the last thing new york city needs given the economic issues and public safety issues. you and i often discussed problems with police department in this city and across the country, you were a captain in new york city police department, i got to say, to watch these videos of where the police officers out during the storm diving under water and trying to get people. it is just one of those moments where you thankful for the folks who are out there and police who are out there and firefighters as well. >> right. >> we should never mix of the two. call for proper police respond has nothing to do with our immigration of our men and women who put on the blue uniform and put themselves in harm's way all the time. i believe that we had one of the most amazing law enforcement on the globe, not the entire country and i am proud of what they do any time there is an emergency, they place themselves in harm's way. we don't have to mix up the ju

nature which is the worst first book on climate change ever so as a prolific contribution to the new yorker and now the voice on climate change. so what i personally admire those in the safety of his home in vermont he founded the grassroots organization 350.org and has committed his lifeng putting what he reads and writes into action with this powerhouse sagittarius, dog dad and a distinguished scholar and a husband a really good hand for our conversation so my goal is to have a sharper understanding what we are up against but also we are so powerful as a collective force so as we get into the discussion with the question box we wereai hit on them in the end. so i think we are ready to get going. >> it's great to be here with you at the very kind introduction thank you for your activism. >> you make it easy. so excited to talk not just about this book but what it represents more broadly. we have to start from the beging broadly, and the topics, a certain level of bravery to take on. a woman who passed away, and have it written down here. they have more moral sports, spent her whole life en

>> seth: like a lot of new yorkers come you can't believe how close everything is. rk, people behave exactly the way you always hoped new yorkers would. i remember early on, when my first days running to "snl," and i had a script in like a manila envelope and unstable script, and it just blew away. people are walking. not a single person stopped to help me but a lot of them pointed for the paper was. on their phone and they would go there, it's in the street. >> kelly: new york is full of supervisors. >> seth: yeah. people say you get stopped, do you get stopped as a celebrity and york. i would say you don't because everyone who lives in new york thinks they are a celebrity. >> kelly: that's awesome. >> seth: i think it's great. >> kelly: that's amazing. >> seth: when i started, my first year in the show being at a bar new york and the bartenders that has anyone told you you look like that guy on "snl." i was so excited because i hadn't been recognized before. i sai i

monday is labor day and we are spending today's show with "new yorker" writer eyal press and some of he profiles in his new book "dirty work: essential jobs and the hidden toll of inequality in america." this labor day comes amid a new search in the pandemic. the virus has been deadly for many so-called essential workers who are often low-wage workers and people of color. meatpacking plants have been deadly covid-19 hot spots. these workers and their families are profiled in section of the book called "on the kill floors." for more, we go to crete, nebraska, to speak with dulce castaÑeda, founding member of children of smithfield, a nebraska-based grassroots advocacy group led by the children and family members of meatpacking workers. still with us is eyal press. dulce, welcome to democracy now! can you update us on what has been the situation at meatpacking plants and help immigrate come essential workers have been impacted by the pandemic? talk about your own family. >> thank you, amy, for having me this morning. to start out, i guess i will say in april of last year 2020, we re en

so the 60,000 people here as proud new yorkers. they took action. they sent tweets. they called on their members of congress, they signed petitions and they called on washington to step up and celebrities stepped up to be counted donating their time and talent to help end extreme poverty. the message is about community. the message is about the people we the people can make the difference would they want to do is raise six billion dollars and hunger to plant a billion trees into also get a billion back scenes to the people who need it most. the goals, but the stakes couldn't be higher. this is a moment in time. we need to stand up and if we don't, but bye, i'm cindy ken. yon, abc 7 news now be sure to tune in here to abc 7 tomorrow night at 7pm for an hour-long show with all the highlights from global citizen live. all right, once again checking in with drew tuma talking air quality and also drew it got really cold. yeah, we're two days are talking about last week. that was our summer. that was a yeah, monday and tuesday last week and now it's really feeling like fal

and all new yorkers become your apostles.s pretty wild ton top of it, as she is communicating to people like this whether you are essential healthcare workers, teachers, working in the court system all across new york, you are bringing that heavy hand on top of the vaccine mandates where that struggling small business owner now has to turn down a good paying customer because they either didn't show their vaccine passport are not vaccinated. this is more than just one mandate. it's a chaos disruption she is creating. can knock off this whole voice from god business. >> brian: first one to president trump. i don't know if she can handle that chain of custody. home care entities have to get vaccinated by october 7th. schools in new york city by friday. and now in erie county, 20% of their staff affiliated with nursing homes are calling it quits. in albany, albany medical center 200 employees of 11,000 have failed to get their first shot. look, i got vaccinated but the president of the united states yelling at you mandating it. t

you've said to new yorkers before that they're going to have to learn to live with water. infrastructure was built for a different era? >> yes, that is well said. because far too often we look at the storm and say lit lt let's build out sewer system but you're not doing that in a year. you're talking about a 20, 30-year plan and hundreds of billion dollars to dig up the streets to do so. so now it is the time to think differently and bring together some of the big thinkers in this area and see what we could do immediately, middle term and long-term. because this is the new norm for us and we're aware of that. we thought building sea walls would keep the high tides out. but mother nature told us clearly that it is more than just what is coming from the sea, it is also what is coming from the sky. and so it is basically telling us, you better adjust, and be honest about how we mess up our environment and now we have to ensure that we learn to live with the climate change and not think that we could keep them out. >> yeah and i think it is important, what you noted before, th

i was angry just as any new yorker.immediate feeling was, who are the jerksdo way responsiblee united states was probably going to do something about that. guess what? osama is in afghanistan. that day i started making phone calls on september 11 to family here in new york to tell them to also call family back in afghanistan to sort of alert people to the fact this may happen. some of them did not think it would go that far. i said, oh, you're being too cautious. and as time and the events sort of unfolded, that is exactly what happened. something like this probly should not go unpunished, but who do we punish is really the question and how do we punish them. i don't think what the united states is doing in afghanistan is really what they set out to do. in the beginning, i was hoping if they got the perpetrators in afghanistan, the people of afghanistan would finally be freed. they were also held hostage taliban and al qaeda, suffered at the hands of these people. and now again are suffering at the hands of these people

we lost 13 new yorkers. not only physical damage, but also the emotional trauma associated with it as well. >> recovery is what we are facing in the coming weeks. let's talk coming months and infrastructure. as mayor, what would you do as a direct result of the disaster to help protect and fortify the city from the threat of another storm. we call these once in 100 years. they're not. not anymore. >> the first thing we have to be honest with ourselves, which i believe we are not. we believe we can build walls around our shorelines. this storm and this water damage that we witnessed did not come from the full moon or a high tide. it came from rain. we were flooded in areas that we never witnessed flooding before. williamsburg and the park. these are inland locations. if we don't start putting in place the plan like the netherlands has done and other countries has done, we will start dealing with this issue in a real way. we are building out sewer system with old standards. we have to start using mother nature

in 1765, after the passage of the stamp act, furious new yorkers attach the home of new york's acting governor, burned him in effigy, and earned his favorite coat -- burned his favorite coat. the massachusetts governor had his home invaded, by someone who smashed his doors, axed his furniture, and made off with money, plates, gold rings, etc. when americans finally rose in general of old against great britain in 1775, they did their best to wipe out any trace of executive governors. at the first continental congress, they designated -- but gave him no powers beyond keeping deliberations in order. john hancock might have signed the declaration of independence in the boldest hand of all as president of the congress in 1776, but signing documents was almost all he did. some states actually abolished the office of governor entirely and tried to rule through a council elected by the legislature. having thrown off the rule of a king, americans were not eager to substitute something similar in its place. but the experience of the postwar years demonstrated that too little executive power mig

new things about early warning systems using technology and any other method of letting everyday new yorkers know when a storm is coming. >> it's obviously the last thing this city needs, new york city, given the economic issues, public safety issues ooi. i've got to say you and i have often discussed problems with police departments in this city and across the country. you were a captain in the new york city -- i believe you're retired as captain in the new york city police department. i've got to say to watch these videos where the police officer is out during the storm diving underwater trying to get people, i mean it's just one of those moments where you -- you're very thankful for the folks who were out there, the police who were out there, the firefighters as well. >> right. and we should never mix up the two. the call for proper police reform has nothing to do with our real admiration for the men and women who put on that blue uniform and put themselves in harm's way all the time. i believe that we have one of the most amazing law enforcement entities on the globe, if not the entire c

what i remember most now is the remarkable outpouring of tens of thousands of new yorkers. these are not naturally exuberant people looking to do anything they could. usual lines to give blood. people bringing food to fire stations. it was the feeling that we had been attacked and we were going to come together. new york city is a tough town, but everybody unanimously their question was what can i do to help? i will never forget the days afterwards, because that was how americans felt. what can we do to help? president, i was not a huge fan, but he got the tone just right by promising retribution but not allowing americans to go down the road of bigotry and hatred ourselves. for a brief time, it seemed like americans were remarkably united by this horrible event around important things. all of the silliness of our culture, the reality shows, it was set aside for a couple of weeks as we reflected on what had just happened and what our responsibility was to try to address the attack. some young people joined the service. young people what to work for the government to prevent

i mean, as a lifelong new yorker who's ridden those buses all my life. it is -- it's insane to -- to -- to see that. um, how much warning did you have? was there any warning? that it would be this bad. >> we knew -- we knew from the weather reports. we monitor them very closely. that we had threats of tornados. those warnings were going off on everyone's cell phones. and what happened was just this opening of the skies during that one particular hour and that shattered the records or anyone's expectations. right now, we're still recovering individuals, assessing the damage to loss of life, as well as property, businesses, homes that have been destroyed. but immediately after, once we get our fema assessment done, i'm going to be demanding answers. i want to know who knew what, when? and what could have been done differently? because new yorkers deserve to know what we're doing to learn from this event, and make sure that it doesn't happen again. >> governor hochul, i appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you very much. >>> there's much more ahead ton

from now on what i think we do is tell new yorkers to expect the very worst. >> reporter: in new jersey, floodwaters filled a home that later exploded because of a suspected gas leak. that explosion captured by a camera across the street. this nursing home had to evacuate all of its residents, as it looks like rapids race across the front doors. how quick did it rise? >> very quick. we put marks on the ground to know where the levels were and by the time we got the first patient out of the facility that marker was gone. >> hundreds of thousands in louisiana are still without power, food, or shelter after hurricane ida tore through that state on sunday. morgan chesky has that part of the story. >> reporter: frustration mounting and fear setting in as hurricane ida's impact only deepens. >> don't want to cry anymore, i'm tired and burning up at night. you wake up you feel like you in hell. >> reporter: she still has power lines draped over her car. how are you holding up? >> sweating to death. >> reporter: the 76-year-old wants a tarp from her roof leak but can't afford it so she waits li

elected local leaders were talking about how do we spend trips to new york and how do we support new new yorkersit was a really challenging time. i remember those conversations in the weeks after. i do remember finding my 13-year-old son soon after we found out about the attacks, on his computer doing research on the events, we need to find the people who did this on hold them responsible. the generations come from kids in school, adults, grandparents, it affected everyone in this country and we came together as a country, but it was really, really a tough time for everybody. >> so 9/11, i was going into the eighth grade and i was, school has not started yet. the building was under construction, so school was going to start a few weeks later , so i was actually at home was the first plane hit. my mom was getting ready for work and call down the stairs, my bedroom was in the basement, and call down the stairs and set america's under attack, so i stumbled out of bed, ran upstairs, ran into my mom's bedroom, where the tv was on, and right as i walked into the room and turned my head, i will never f
