december that it was clear that the nypd had to find a new way forward to meet the needs of every new yorker. that's when our new york-based policing initiative was really born. but this october our neighborhood-based policing program, which is very much a crime fighting tool will be in more than half of our command city wide and 100% public housing commands. knowing who your police officers are, especially what their names are, if you are dealing with someone you also have their phone number at your disposal is one way to strengthen the bond that will exist in many places and bridging the divide where it doesn't. i mentioned my mom earlier. it is hard to talk about you. [ laughter ] she really was the one that taught me the can change the world to what we want it to be and that life is much more than just about one's self. it's about all of us. thank you, mom. >> oh man. [ applause ] i never thought it would be that hard to talk about you. i talk about you all the time. that's not, i can't forget about my older sister sheila. he's been my guru for my direction, so thank you sheila. it's abo

this is a challenge, as it was said in the opening remarks. we're challenging new yorkers to allow for their voices to be heard and to have their votes counted. we know one thing, bill, that when you speak of governing and you speak of policy, you can't have strong policy without having strong politics. and quite often, decisions are made, unfortunately, based on voter turnout. so, if you look at our boroughs,

both new yorkers. both former governors of new york. both studied at columbia. you know, they're friendly, actually. one is a democrat. someone a republican where they refer to each other, governor. governor. they have some -- roberts is not the most extreme republican on that court, but there are some folks to his right nicknamed the four horsemen of the apocalypse who make life very difficult for franklin roosevelt, and it's a very new york story. now, of course, the current court, it's headed by a new yorker. born in new york state. buffalo. learned his law here in this city, new york city. from henry friendly. the other members of the court, well, we've got ruth baiter ginsberg who is a brooklyn person, and todantonin scalia w queens. no staten island, i guess. um, i mentioned sam -- remember, also, mayor who learned his law in this city, and he is the guy on the hot seat right now. it's very much a new york story. what's going to decide? what's going to decide? who fills that slot on the supreme court? what's going to decide it is which manhattanite becomes

with the help of every new yorker we will continue facilitating while we help. a small percentage of the population. this is something that we concentrate every day. we know who these people are and will continue to go right after them as we have done over the past 2 1/2 years in some of the largest take downs. we will continue follow up and will do all of this while keeping the city safe from ever changing threat of terror. it's a different world. you're already strategic response group and critical response command. those officers are among the best trained in the nation to respond to emerging threats including an active shooting situation. they work hand in hand with counter terrorism and intelligence bureaus. policing includes insuring that people can safely demonstrate. the nypd does it better than no one else. i am in full support of advocacy groups and everyone's right to is all about and it is our job to ensure that right. the protest in the fall of 2014 signaled change was necessary. with the brutal assass nation that december it was clear the nypd had

work my way up to the present moment, but not only is this going to be an election between two new yorkers for the presidency, but the supreme court really is the on the ballot and new york plays a big role in that because the person who is right now the nominee for the vacant spot is a man who learned his law, learned how to be a judge basically right here in new york city, he is a clerk of henry friendly, i'm going to say more about that, the chief justice because we are going to be talking about the roberts court that's going to be going in one direction if mr. trump wins and in a different direction if secretary clinton wins. the chief justice, john roberts, not only was born in new york, but he, too, learned how to be a judge in this city. he, too, was a clerk of the great henry friendly, chief judge of the second circuit here in this city. the person whose untimely demise created this vacancy is a new yorker, antonin scalia, as are several of the other justices. justice sotomayor, justice kagan, justice ginsberg, justice alito isn't from that far away, newark, i know it's on the othe

these advocates think the city and the mayor can help to afford thousands and thousands of new yorkers pay less money for their metro cards. >> we're here today to show mayor de blasio the faces of new yorkers, the stories of new yorkers, for whom a discount metro card would make all t >> it's almost $200 that i spend on my children, my wife, and myself every month. >> reporter: it is not just your own metro card. you're paying for your family? >> yes. >> reporter: a spokeswoman told news 4 last year the de blasio administration committed to an unprecedented $2.5 billion the mayor's office, but not an outright rejection either. san francisco has been doing it for years. seattle just started phasing it in last year to pretty good success. the requirement would be a certain income threshold. could it happen in new york? not without the mayor or the governor championing it. >> stay tuned. news 4 at 5:00 starts right now. >>> now the new crackdown on products claiming to keep you safe from zika. >>> the enemy at home. the first police officer in the nation charged with supporting isis. how

the first one, george washington, he's picking a new yorker, john jay, educated just right down the road here at columbia to be his chief justice, so an obvious new york angle in that one. what makes in two words thomas jefferson president in 1800, you could say the sedition act or you could say new york. aaron burr. that's the swing state. adams and jefferson are running against each other and jefferson comes in second and then they do the rematch in 1800 and jefferson prevails and that's because he gets burr to help him win new york. new york is the swing state in that election so it's looming very, very large. it was burr against hamilton here on this island. whoever won the island would win the state, whoever won the state would win the presidency setting up this confrontation. now, i admit that the third face-off doesn't have as much of a compelling new york angle, lincoln and tawney and neither of them is quite a new yorker, but lincoln does rise to prominence and manages to win at the convention, not on the first ballot of course, because he impresses people in this city, the grea

if the new yorker radiono is in the thick of that renaissance, i'm very happy.iting is a complicated process. get the writer to do the best form to have the writer's version of the piece. an editor who is obnoxious, in my mind, is the kind of editor that said winkingly, that's kind of my piece.of that the not what's done here. the greatest feeling of satisfaction is to run across somebody young who has something new to say and saying it in a different way and help that person in some subtle way get to be himself or herself, that is thrilling. not everybody does everything at the highest level. i don't expect an investigative report to necessarily be the next sense and sensibility. what you want is to be accurate and deep and clear. my editor up in new york, when i write, the rare times that i write is a guy named henry fender. he might say something like this -- very good things here -- and if that happens, i know we're in for a long ride. everybody does his or her job in a moment in time. my moment in time is not only to make the magazine as great as it possibl

i don't have the bandwidth, the capacity to both right new yorker articles and continue my work as--at the new yorker, but what i do is what i am in the writing portion of the book after i have done enough reporting to feel like i have enough material, ite write five pages a day. to write 1250 words a day of that is-- i finda it is a significant amount, but not an overwhelming amount to write and it really accumulates if you keep up at that pace. 25 pages a week, 100 pages a month and i find that that gets me to appropriate book line is somewhere around six to eight months. that's just the writing. i view the reporting, the research as equally if not more important than the writing. that is a little harder to measure how long that takes. as i said, in these other books i have written i was sort of reporting in real time, so it wasn't sort of a separate research periodod , but all in at least a year. but, probably somewhat more. host: talk about the kid having that took place in 1974, and have a picture of the house where to place in san francisco. guest: berkeley. host: berkeley. you
