and you won't believe this, but new yorkers are complaining about something! first, donald trump is reminding people what his special brand of leadership looks like, so let's get into our continuing coverage of "trump 2.0: coming for the white house"! ♪ ♪ >> i'm gonna come. [cheers and applause] >> desi: let's kick things off with president-elect donald trump. he's not even on america's payroll yet, but he's already causing chaos for free. what a workaholic. as you've probably heard, trump has decided that his first big policy proposal will be buying, or perhaps invading, greenland. it's the kind of nonsense no one should take seriously. but trump said it, so... i guess we're all doing this. >> it would be exciting if greenland was part of the united states. >> i think that the people of greenland should be honored. >> this, to me, could be donald trump's louisiana purchase. same size as the louisiana purchase in square miles. >> greenland strategically makes sense because it's the -- it's halfway point between our country and the u.k. so it would make sense t

so new yorkers don't feel safe on that metric. but under every other serious felony is up double digits. rapes are up 22%. felony assaults like that means a shooting or a stabbing. are up 34% in the last three years to a 25 year high. so new yorkers, the most fundamental job a city does is to protect its citizens. and under mayor adams, we have become materially less safe new yorkers. it's not just a perception. they are not just imagining things. the facts show that we're a lot less safe. and new yorkers are very angry about that. and they're voting that way. and unfortunately, 8% of this city's population has left the city in the last five years. second worst of all, all the 70 largest cities in america other than san francisco. i'm going to reverse that as mayor. >> all right. whitney tilson, very grateful for your time this morning. best of luck. as you kind of formalize this campaign launch today. thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. time now for sports. the commanders wild card playoff game against the bucks came down to q

i could uncover this history, new york, about how new yorkers socialize it was really deeply entrenched in material culture studies or thinking about where they would have hosted these events. so i did a deep into new york's hotels for example, under what kind of food would have been on the menu and the kind of draperies and flatware and so forth that would have been at the use events to think about this understudied labor that women organizers and party planners and hostess did. but once i realized that molly moon's her fashion shows for the ebony fashion fair at the waldorf for storya her events, the rainbow room at rockefeller center, her event in uptown in to save the harlem community art center that these were fund raisers that then shifted my my approach methodologically so from there that you know the news clippings and the society pages that was looking at to really her through black publications through mainstream publications really shifted to a focus around economics so wanted to know who she was in with and how she through her urban national league guild, raised millions of

because the people who will get hurt are low and middle income new yorkers.ce on the subway and you say okay, i'm not going to take the subway, i'm going to drive my car but then it's so much more expensive with the congestion pricing. joe, you're living this. your reaction? >> yeah, i'm living it every day and i do take the subway and i feel like a member of seal team six when i stand on a platform with my back against the wall bus myself and all strap hangers, you don't want to get too close to the edge of the platform for fear someone will push you in front of a train. when i'm on the train, i have my head on a swivel, trying to protect whatever might come at me from a mentally ill person to a random stabber, that's the reality new yorkers face. it's not the reality that governor hochul lives in. cost of living and public safety are the two biggest issues, two biggest concerns. some how the governor managed to hurt new yorkers on both fronts at once with congestion pricing. maria: did you see her on the subway, kathy hochul with the sign, subways are safe.

woman who i thought was a fabulous hostess who uncoveredor this history about new york and how new yorkers socialized and were deeply entrenched in cultural studies of thinking about that so i did a deep dive into new york hotelsls for exame understanding what kind of food would have been on the menu and what kinds of draperies and flatware and so forth that would have been there but he think about this understudied labor that women organizers and party planners did. once i realized molly mooned and her fashion shows at the waldorf-astoria and the rainbow room at rockefeller center that these were fund-raisers. that then shifted meyer approached methodologically. from there the newspaper clippings in the society pages tracer through black publicationsio mainstream publications and shifted to a focus around economics. i wanted to know who she was in conversation with and how she knew her guild raised millions of dollarsri for the urban leage on the half of the african-american communities what i've realizesh was that she was like this intermediary between every day black people in harlem an

that magazine was "the new yorker" and the ad was one of those mini rectangles that used to be stackedg by billie holiday, a cafe society. i first saw this ad at the lincoln center and library of the scrat book at the publicist for cafe society, the hip nightclub at sheridan square that billed itself famously as the wrong place for the right people. it was odd, this ad. first, it didn't get the name of the song right and then it mangled the lyrics itself, strange fruit growing on southern trees. that aside, i found the notice extraordinary. it was something i'd never seen before, an advertisement for a song, not for billie holiday who was already a popular young performer at the peak of her powers or for her repertoire, but for a single song she was singing, a song evidently unusual enough in and of itself to go down to greenwich village to hear. for me, it offered corroboration, reassuring corroboration that had been elusive up to that point of the premise of my project that "strange fruit" was unique, an event in and of itself. why so elusive? because there was so little out there ab

the new yorker had asked. answer, even among new yorker readers, would almost always have been no. but that publicist knew what he was doing. the new yorker's readers, largely middle to upper class, well educated, sophisticated, politically progressive, white, were strange fruits target audience. the cafe society was officially integrated. look at a picture of holiday performing there. it is in my book. everyone is well-dressed. the women in hats, the men, lots of them college boys it seems in jackets and ties, and all of them white. no such ads for strange fruit ran in the amsterdam news. the great historian of the jazz and blues albert murray put it best and most bluntly, strange fruit was something that most blacks didn't need and didn't want to hear. they knew about it already. strange fruit had a bigger moral and sentimental impact among white liberals mainly northern liberals and do-gooders that among lacks northern or southern, he told me. you don't celebrate new year's over chitlins and champagne with

. >> we ask all new yorkers to to cooperate and to try to help each other. there are going to be a lot of people today who need help and need assistance. >> there's a necessity. and the requirement for a trusted voice somehow there's a there's a sense that you're you're telling the truth. and that's priceless. >> the fire is still burning, but from it has emerged a stronger spirit, a more unified country, a more unified city, and a more unified world. >> but don't assure anything that can't really be assured. >> we also want everyone to prepare themselves for the reality that we're not going to be able to recover significant numbers of people and reconnecting individuals from their own trauma, experienced their own personal trauma experience to a wider community. those of us who are here have to defend freedom by going about our lives unafraid, like the people of britain did in the 1940s and the people of jerusalem do today. >> and i was like, holy it's like, wow, i yeah, you know, go, rudy. i mean, i was really blown away by that. i mean, he really got it.

i have a message for the mainstream media and i can say this as a born and raised new yorker. new york is trump country. wow. it is to be here in the icon madison square garden. president trump has been talking about this rally for years. what a way to kick off the final week of the most epic campaign to save. every election, we say, is the most important in our lifetime. but this one really is. no matter where you go, whether it's in new york city, upstate new york, or in any of the swing states, people understand there is so much at stake. and it is we the people when we vote for president donald j. trump, we the people will say, america. just look at the that kamala harris and joe biden have brought to our nation and have brought right here to new york. the border crisis. illegals swarming our streets taking billions of. our hard earned taxpayer dollars. all because kamala harris is joe biden's open border czar. she owns border crisis. she created it or the inflation? the highest rate of inflation in our lifetime. and you know who was the deciding vote for joe biden's inflat

he liked that new yorker cartoon. at the same time this was someone who was proud of his presidency and felt he was dealing with the invasion of afghanistan by the soviets in 1979, the iranian hostage crisis, inflation at home. he was trying his best to manage it all here and he wasn't someone who was just a southerner outside or fumbling with the job. >> norah: and the camp david accords. we should talk about his accomplishments as president and whether they've been underestimated. i do want to point out you're looking at pictures of the u.s. navy memorial and a number of people lining the cold streets of pennsylvania avenue to get a glimpse of this motorcade. we are already with a formation of midshipmen from the u.s. naval academy, the u.s. navy band, the secretary of the navy, the superintendent of the naval academy. vice admiral yvette davis is there as well here we will go there shortly. after the naval academy, former president and the motorcade headed to the u.s. capitol for a ceremony. i want to bring in cong

i recent poll finds more than half of new yorkers are against congestion pricing.not too keen on that idea that would be president-elect donald trump. he says it is a big scam and did other reason people will want to do business in new york because as you saw today the weather is not always great and did cost a lot of money. it will bring prices up like a cup of coffee in new york you will end up paying more for that one rip-off. paying for the price is when the congestion hit stores as well. >> sandra: thank you. back to capitol hill. truck making a push to go back on his agenda.3 pl just how big? that is next. and over time it can help lower your a1c. ♪ this is progress. learn more and try for free at freestylelibre.us ♪ we handcraft every stearns & foster® using the finest materials, like indulgent memory foam, and ultra-conforming inner springs, for a beautiful mattress, and indescribable comfort. start the new year with savings up to $800 on select adjustable mattress sets.

and yet, jane mayer reports in the new yorker, for example, the fbi's background investigation failed to interview fox news personnel who described hegseth to nbc news as smelling of alcohol on the job as recently as last fall. instead, sources say that the bureau settled for an interview with a public relations official at fox. is that unprecedented? >> it's at no. it's outrageous. alex. and i haven't even seen the fbi report. they won't give it to me. they gave it to the chairman of the committee, senator wicker, and the ranking member, senator reed. but in my discussions with senator reed, it's very plain that the fbi did not interview many people who had been directly identified in other documents that had been made available. they didn't bother to interview them. and that is just outrageous. you saw pete hegseth in the committee hearing today, try to say all these claims were anonymous smears. these are not anonymous smears. the materials that i've read with the allegations about his behavior, each behavior is connected directly to an individual who in many cases, i believe, was
