i live on staten island so i was running towards the fairy. >> in response to the attack, the staten island ferrys were used for the evacuation of lower manhattan through the battery. when we got passengers on the boat, we got them in the main deck and had everyone quiet down to give them directions and try to calm them down. my job is the safety of my passengers, vessels, and crew. that is what i was concerned about. the boat was filled with smoke. the windows were open. so the boat filled with smoke. the passengers were praying, some were crying. >> we knew there were a lot of lives gone and people were just coming together. i saw people that i ride the ferry with every day that i finally actually hugged and held. host: jessica dulong, where were the boats taking people? guest: anywhere they could go. there were boats taking people to new jersey, certainly the ferry operators did their best to take advantage of the infrastructure they had on land to be able to disembark people quickly. recall that you have to not only get people on the boat safely, but you also need to have a gangwa

a similar story beginning to emerge, especially on staten island. that's where we find cori.t can you tell us about what is happening there? >> reporter: staten island quickly becoming ground zero for the delta variant here in new york. when you look at the rates, you can see the pattern. so staten island has among the lowest rate of vaccination in the state, 53% here compared to manhattan's 70% for example. here in staten island the new cases are double that amount of manhattan, so you can really see the pattern start to emerge. the cdc's director, rachelle wilensky, spoke about what that means, not just here for staten island and the state of new york, but also how we are seeing the same pattern nationally. listen here. >> there is a clear message that is coming through. this is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated. we are seeing outbreaks of cases in parts of the country that have low vaccination coverage because unvaccinated people are at risk. and communities that are fully vaccinated are generally faring well. if you are not vaccinated you remain at risk, and our big

sullivan decides to attack a british outpost on staten island. yes, he has some initial success pushing them back, but he ultimately gets pushed back as clinton rushed reenforcements over to the island, and they drive him back. sullivan is going to lose about 200 guys in this operation. in the grand scheme of things, this is not that big a deal, but it's just another case of bad timing for sullivan, because at the same time that congress gets the news of his failure on staten island, congress also found out about the fall of fort ticonderoga on the lower end of lake champlain. keep in mind at the same time the philadelphia campaign is rolling along, the saratoga campaign is happening at the same time. as part of that campaign, they capture ford ticonderoga. congress wanted answers. they actually wanted a court of inquiry into his operation. but they need almost every senior officer in the army to stop what they're doing to hold this investigation. well, washington can't do that. they're in the middle of a major campaign. so at least for now, wash

so staten island where we are at has about a 53% vaccination rate, alex.hind us that has a 70% rate. here in staten island they have double the infection rate than manhattan so you can see the correlation. shh is happening on a national level, too. i will give you two examples statewide. the first one is arkansas, which has the lowest vaccination rate in the entire nation at 35%. they are reporting the highest increase in cases. in fact, a sobering reality is one health care worker said, quote, of all of our critically covid positive patients at baptist health facilities, none have been fully vaccinated. just let that sit in for a moment. and in florida, 20% of all new cases of covid here in the country, they are accounted in florida -- they are coming from florida. florida now accounts for four times the vaccination -- or four times the spread rate of covid cases than the rest of the nation. this is something that, unfortunately, with these lower vaccination rate communities it is going to extend this spread out, officials think, at least until september

and sullivan decides to attack a british outpost on staten island. yes, he had initial success but he ultimately gets pushed back as clayton rush reinforcement to the island and drive him back. sullivan will lose 200 guys in this operation, in the scheme of thing it's not by big deal but it's bad timing because at the same time of the failure on staten island congress also found out about the small apartheid konga on saratoga campaign was happening at the same time. all of the bad news is coming into congress at the same time and congress wanted answers, they want the inquiry into his operation. you need every senior officer in the army to stop what they're doing to hold this investigation. well, washington can't do that, they're in the middle of a major campaign. so for at least for now washington will be able to put that on hold. now sullivan will eventually rejoin the main be army in northern delaware behind the red clay creek defenses. and the british are going to be coming at them from the southwest and eventually with the rest of the army sulliv

he won staten island.at the same time, we saw a broad coalition in the borough of manhattan elect a black to the district attorney's nomination, or select that, so i think both you look at alvin brag's race for the district attorney in manhattan, a very prestigious position, the first time a black got it, and eric adams, at the same time, same primary, both of them ran as one that understood the police reform movement that people like me have been part of, but the need for safety. both of them came down the middle of saying we must deal with inequality but we also must deal with how the city is going to function. and i think that many of our people in the democratic party or in the so-called left have confused noise with what is sound. you can make noise as long as what you're make noise about is sound. people want to be safe at the same time they want to see reform. >> yeah, and elise jordan, you can look at what happened in new york city, of course look at what happened to the democratic primary in 2020.

the disaster area in germany, stretches between the districts of heinz berg f, staten island, near the border with the deadlines in belgium. a massive cleanup operation is under way as rescue cruise search for survivors. more than a 1000 people are still missing. d w reporter kate brady has this report from some of the flooded villages around bon destruction and deborah, on every corner. the only sound on the street mud being scraped away and tractors, rumbling through the ones picturesque pounds of violence. here in our violet, the water has subsided, and it's only now that the real true extent of the damage caused by the floods is really coming to light. a lot of people are returning to their homes for the 1st time since the flood the scenes and devastating for those returning the owners of this home moved in only 6 months ago. the flood water reached halfway up the walls of the 1st floor just now got it. couldn't react quickly enough to move along and we had to fit upstairs the 24 hours because the fire service came enough. have you been hurt? if not, then you'll have to manage on y

the delta variant cases are on the rise there in staten island and this country. >> reporter: yeah. that's right. you can see a clear pattern of what is happening. the cdc director talking about what needs to happen. we are seeing the delta variant drive in other parts of other states that are among the lowest vaccination rates in this country. listen to what dr. walensky had to say about the pattern that's emerging. >> there's a message coming through. this is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated. we are seeing outbracks in parts of the country with low vaccination coverage because unvaccinated people are at risk. and communities that are fully vaccinated are generally faring well. if you are not vaccinated, you remain at risk and our biggest concern is that we are going to continue to see preventable cases, hospitalizations and sadly deaths among the unvaccinated. >> reporter: to give you an example, where we are at here has a vaccination rate of 53% compared to 70% in manhattan and manhattan has half of the number of positive cases that staten island has. looking nationwide. a

douglas, staten island, new york, good morning. you are next.eeing the impacts of inflation and staten island. caller: good morning. i sometimes wonder this place these people inhabit and whether they look at bills or not. i used to get water for $6.99 for a five gallon container. i am now paying $15.99. they upped it three dollars and $1.50 all within this six month period. gas, electricity, food, everything is going up. and something that people do not talk about, it is called shrink-inflation. they give you the same boxes, but a 16 pound is now 12.7. a 7.5 ounce can of tuna is now at five ounces, and on. your 64 ounce container of a half-gallon of milk is now 48 ounces. same thing with ice cream. everything goes on. they give you the same type of box or container, but there is less inside of it. host: have you thought about changing your buying habits and maybe not doing thecaller: the r over here in staten island, we are at the tail end of new york city and i used to drink new york city water, which was pretty good. we are at the tail end th

past month "the new york times" exposed the churn among warehouse employees at amazon at it's staten islanding to address the issues bezos announced in april after the union vote that amazon is going to aim to be the earth's best employer and safest place to work. the push to be earth's best employer was added as a company core principle yesterday along with calling for sustainability and corporate responsibility and i would point out, julia, as jassy takes the reins as ceo to focus on some of this stuff, jeff bezos himself in the same shareholder letter where he laid out the earth's best employer, safest place to work within he said he is working on special projects, forward-looking projects, including this very thing. so now as the roles shift, they are both focused on employees more as stakeholders something tells me the data points that they can move perhaps in safety, however you measure best, that's their argument against regulators and others outside union organizers who want to change the way amazon operates. >> absolutely. when i asked john dor about the regulatory risk he centered

with a wonderful woman i didn't get included in the book that she was working at a hospital in staten island. one of the things i loved as this was a woman that graduated early to work in the ward and ended up working on a team with her brother and best friend who are all doctors as well. they were all on the covid board together and actually, she fell sick with covid not long after starting. she's one of the people that did fall sick while treating patients and one of the amazing things is hearing the support that she had from her friends she was working with while dealing with her own case. it ended up how does this work for the doctors because when you are in the thick of things and in the trenches, having people you can lean on and understanding what you are going through in a way no one else can is such an important thing. she's one of the people that spoke to the families and communities that formed in the hospitals over the course of the pandemic. a. >> i hope that you will forgive me i'm going to play editor for a moment. for those of you that are not journalists, one of the most ann

had grown up in hartford, connecticut and spent his youth in rural connecticut, began a farm on staten island. within a decade, by age 36, he began construction of what might be the greatest work of american art, central park. to be followed several years later with prospect park in brooklyn. this changed the respective cities, and launched a new profession of landscape architecture in america. how was it that this singular individual was capable of such triumphs of imagination and logistical expertise? these 19th-century evocations? the answer is that few individuals could have been so well prepared or practically. he had approved -- he had a remarkable career prior to taking on central park. then, producing the final design and realization. following a youthful study -- a useful study, a time also as a journalist, a writer, a correspondent, an editor and publisher. this gallery of faces presents only a few of his contemporaries but offers some sense of the mix of intellectuals with whom he corresponded, and socialized with. then of course, abraham lincoln, walt whitman, frederick douglass ,

he did appear at every normal person agrees with that, he won in new york city and staten island. think white liberals would be happy about this. they hate it. they want to stop eric adams. eric with a new york, new york, magazine was pretty honest. in a column he described to eric adams who is a full-blown liberal, by the way as two right wings and then he said in a line worth remembering, he said eric adams is conservative because his base is nonwhite voters. how interesting is that. he is acknowledging that eric adams is polling nonwhite voters and his exact quote. that is why he has a white liberal cannot support it. that is amazing! in other words, eric adams is not under their control. he is against defunding the police. he's not funded by george soros. he doesn't have some dystopian nihilistic view of what the city should be. he doesn't talk about equity is much as the rest of them. so they are not under his control and he wants to crush them. he is too right wing. they are admitting out in the open appear at the board of directions invented 100,000 votes to bury eric adams

where you saw adams build real coalitions around the city in staten island, in brooklyn, and harlem,re is definitely a divide from an income perspective, but you talk a lot of those folks who ranked adams second because they were on that same vision. clean up the city so we can get it back working again. romaine: and i think perspective is the key word here. i think a lot of people in the city look at it in different ways, and hopefully adams will do a little bit to address the crime and make it safer to go back below 59th street once again. i am curious on the progressive question here, the idea that the city wanted someone who was a little bit more of a taskmaster, someone a little bit more moderate. when you get below the mayor itself and look at brad lander getting the comptroller position, alvin bragg getting the manhattan da position, these are definitely tie-dyed progressive here. i am wondering what message does that send come of that voters were willing to go for progressives at that level, but not necessarily at the mayoral level? shelly: right, and adams is going to be not

one of the city council races on the republican side in staten island where the winner was favored in november, we do not know if there was fraud but there are allegations from a candidate who surprised everyone by finishing first and the first choices. i got to that point by -- they say they got to that point by fraud, and we will see that settled, but he lost in the runoff because more votes counted. so when you only need 34% to win or whatever it might be, a bit of fraud helps you if you have to get to 50%. so the more votes to count, the harder it is to do fraud. i think these other issues are ones where we have to make a choice. do we want to handle crowded fields by allowing people to finish top of heat with 20%? we have had people get elected to congress after winning a congressional primary with less than 20% of the votes in the last year. maybe they are going to do a good job, but we should confirm that they are the most representative candidate and we think ranked choice voting does a great job of doing that. host: i want to read a criticism of ranked choice voting in a "wal

vaccine by any means necessary our staff helped me so i was able to get to -- go to a tent on staten islandminded me not to forget the second dose and that i wouldn't be fully immew niedzed until 12 days after shot number two and told me to keep wearing a mask because if lots of people got the virus at work the vaccine might not be powerful to stop a breakthrough infection that sounded rational to me. at no point was it a political issue. it was a medical issue maybe i'm naive. early i figured nearly everyone would want it. after all who the heck wants to get covid? my daughter got it and missed three weeks of work and felt terrible for a long period of time i know elderly people who caught it and passed away quickly get vaccinated years before we thought it was possible i thought we would treat it like a miracle and the government would treat it like polio. a year ago people thought i was crazy for believing that scientists could quickly create a vaccine but i did. turns out i got it right the crazy part turned out to be believing that people would be eager to take the vaccine. we're lonel

host: let's go to raffael, who is calling from staten island, new york.aller: i am calling to oppose marijuana in new york. if it is not legal, you give the power to illegal organizations who call for force and violence to sell their product. if it is legal, it is regulated. you now take power away from the cartels, the people who supply it and bring it to the country in order to make a profit. at the same time, it reduces the amount of people who go to jail for marijuana crimes. i do not get it. lobbying, cartels, the people who push the war on drugs. at the same time, it helps insurance companies. they make you take one medicine, there is a side effect, they take another medicine for the side effect. legalizing it is more effort, more money and more blood spent to preserve something we could be investigating. host: let's talk to catherine, who is calling from st. joseph's , michigan. good morning. caller: good morning. i oppose it and the reason why i oppose it is i grew up in the 1960's, i know what the 1960's did for our whole generation. when we woul

host: let's go to raffael, who is calling from staten island, new york.aller: i am calling to oppose marijuana in new york. if it is not legal, you give the power to illegal organizations who call for force and violence to sell their product. if it is legal, it is regulated. you now take power away from the cartels, the people who supply it and bring it to the country in order to make a profit. at the same time, it reduces the amount of people who go to jail for marijuana crimes. i do not get it. lobbying, cartels, the people who push the war on drugs. at the same time, it helps insurance companies. they make you take one medicine, there is a side effect, they take another medicine for the side effect. legalizing it is more effort, more money and more blood spent to preserve something we could be investigating. host: let's talk to catherine, who is calling from st. joseph's , michigan. good morning. caller: good morning. i oppose it and the reason why i oppose it is i grew up in the 1960's, i know what the 1960's did for our whole generation. when we woul

host: an independent caller from staten island. caller: my question was for the last guest.on is i understand you cannot sue vaccine companies for an adverse reaction. if your employer mandates you to get a vaccine, can you sue your employer if you have an adverse reaction? thank you. host: congressman? guest: i think that that professor would have been in a better situation. i know that one of the things that, you know, under the pandemic there's sometimes things taken into consideration because of the emergency. but i will leave that to your former professor, the law professor, to answer that. host: bruce in michigan, a republican. caller: how are you doing? first of all, i will say that i think the forrester vaccination and vaccine passports being rolled out in europe are turning us into slaves. and i recommend everybody to read "moss and the iron lung." it is not the virus, it is things like gmo foods that are ruining our gut. host: a question or, about immigration on the southern border -- or comment about immigration on the southern border? caller: i do have one. the o

certainly everyone's day afternoon -- wednesday afternoon should get the books for the folks at staten island. and as kids did not have to ride the school bus home. so, we loved it. over the past 20 years, we really have seen a drastic shift and purchase agreements. and 20 years ago, over half of all cattle were traded on a negotiated basis. and today, negotiated purchase accounts for just a quarter of all purchases. instead, alternative a train -- arrangements like forward contracts become more prevalent. formula transactions are less transparent, because they utilize base prices that are not publicly disclosed or reported. as a producer, can you accurately describe what is used to set the base price in these formulas? and, would knowing the base price and any premiums be advantageous for cattleman? >> yes. and thank you for the question, senator. i appreciate those as an auctioneer, we appreciate those secretaries. that is what keeps us in line. >> yes, that's good, juan thank. you >> the base price is generally sent in most of those a amaze. there are many different ones. and you said, the
