they succeed in new york the british invade late summer 1776 of long island manhattan island and staten islandhich we now think of as the boroughs of new york city and the surrounding areas but never penetrate deeper into the country. so it is a no man's land in between british occupied new york. because of this they are unwilling to restore full civil governments to the areas that they occupy. there is military government led by the commanding general of the army. and then the commandant itself responsible for keeping order on the streets. and a group of 1 billion former officials and andrew elliott. and with the chief of police or chief magistrate and he is responsible for the civilian apparatus and with those military offenders and in lodging for the poor and those who cannot afford it based on professional loyalty with adherence to the crown. for the traders and revolutionaries. and to adhere to them coming into the city. and street cleaners and clerks and rent collectors and so forth. so there is a weird civilian administration but it never has the full force of law as long as it is only

new york, the british conveyed in the late summer of 1776, long island, manhattan island, staten islandthink of as the boroughs of new york city and surrounding areas are never able to penetrate deeper into the country so there exists this kind of no man's land, this hard water in between evolutionary new york and british occupy new york. because of this, the british are unwilling to restore full civil government to be areas they occupy. instead there is this mix of military government led by commanding general of the army, william and sir henry and carlton the city of new york itself responsible for keeping order on the street. they work with a series of a group of civilian of former officials led by andrew elliott, a collector who is given the title of chief of police or superintendent of police depending on which source you read and he is kind of responsible for the civilian apparatus keeps order in the streets reports back to the military offenders. they give civilians a stake in the administration and provide lodging for the poor and people who couldn't afford it based on loyalty a

host: staten island, new york, elizabeth, go ahead. caller: good morning.nk you for taking my call. i'm upset about the new law taking place in texas. i just think this is going to take women back so much. as the woman said before, it's not going to stop them from getting an abortion. but it will start women dying again from abortion like they did before roe v. wade. i just think that when men tell women what they are going to do with their bodies, it's really something. we don't tell men to go have the vasectomy's. the responsibility is all on the woman? now we will not have access to abortion. we are going to go get an illegal abortion and we are going to bleed out and we all know what happens when an abortion is unsanitary. these same people who don't want women to seek a safe abortion, they are not going to want to give them health care either. not only that, but let's say that we have the baby. these are the same people who want to reverse all health care for women. black and brown. even poor white people. i just don't get it. do republicans think it's

i visited locations on staten island as well. first, we have to be honest with ourselves of what is needed, intervention and prevention, a term i use often. those are the long-term things. everything from closing our pica plants, cycling, buses, diesel fuel, a green infrastructure. i like to say a real green bond job initiative to shore up our water fronts. we have to be honest with yourselves that this did not come from high tides. it came from rain. mother nature is making it clear that we can't take shortcuts. and i believe some of the intervention that we can do now as we invest in building our sewer systems, but also let's look at what other countries are doing. i'm in contact with the leaders over in the netherlands, and i want to see what they're doing as they have done a successful job of how do we live with water, not how do we keep water out. >> all right. i'll have to leave it there. thank you very much for being with us, eric adams, on this day. >>> coming up on "politicsnation," the 9/11 attacks were meant to divide

happening is in the outer boroughs, in places like brooklyn, places like queens, the bronx, and staten islandeally, really hit hard. many people home, right? watching tv, whatever it is. maybe sleeping even. as the storm came in. it came in so fast people were really not prepared for it. everyone heard it's going to rain. but you can really tell this city was not preparing for something so serious. and despite the warnings about flash floods and some of what was to come, you know, no one here really took it seriously. and so it's just taken a really tragic turn. and yeah, i mean, look, there's always the possibility they could find more as they get into these neighborhoods and communities and the water starts to recede. you know, and cars. that's the other thing. there are so many cars just stranded across the city. right now. and maybe that's where they'll find more bodies. hopefully not obviously. but it's just a very tragic turn here. and something this city is now going to have to deal with for quite some time. >> yeah. i guess the question is were these people alone, were they found toge

the high point in our city, we had serious flooding there, as well as winds burn and parts of staten islandis that we lost close to 13 new yorkers due to the flooding. and there is just a lot of trauma as well as the actual physical damage to property. >> the 35 billion, with a b, billion gallons of rain fell overnight. and you want to be mayor of new york city. what steps need to be taken now to ensure that the city is prepared for the next big storm? because sadly, we all know there will be more. >> and, honestly, exactly what you just stated. we have to be honest with ourselves. it is more than just building a wall. if the army corps of engineers job is just to build a wall around our city, that wall would not have stopped what we saw last night. it was raining. it wasn't a full moon. it wasn't a high tide that came in. it was rain. and we need to start finding one solution to deal with a multitude of problems. and, wolf, i'm clear that we have to think differently and figure out how to live with the changes that we're seeing in our environment and not think that we could just keep the w

staten island over the weekend you see this protesters stormed a food court to oppose the vaccinated only seating. [chanting u.s.a. >> brian: do you believe this? it's not just new york. dozen of state state troopers quit over the state vaccine mandate which is actually up in october. when it comes to their own health americans don't like to be told what to do. they will push back against demeaning, demanding and condescending orders even if it means losing their job. that's clear. especially if they're being spoken to by children by the man who is supposed to be running the country. >> we have been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. and your refusal has cost all of us. >> brian: so how is the threat campaign really working out? well the "new york post" point out that that inspiring speech which was anything but, since that time september 9th, i believe, vaccination rate have dropped to the slowest in months and despite what the media and democrats tell us, it's not just republicans. unless trump's biggest supporters are playing in the nba. one of the league's biggest are kyr

st staten island almost 9 inches of rain in 24 hours.was the problem. newark, new jersey wettest day on record, almost 8 1/2 inches of rain. central park, one of the top five wettest days with more than 7 inches of rain. and most of that fell within one hour. 3 inches of rain fell in one hour. and that was the problem. so much rain in such a short amount of time, and it's going to take a while for this water to recede. all the rivers are overflowing the banks. you have to get that water flowing downstream. and so that's where we could see more flooding. >> thank you for that update jennifer gray. >>> in southern new jersey, a tornado ripped through south of philadelphia. residents have been sifting through debris for their most cherished belongings. joining us now is the mayor of harrison township in that area. and mayor, i mean, the images are just unbelievable. and yet, you tell us that last check, still no serious injuries and no deaths? >> yeah. clearly by the grace of god that's the case. when you see the devastation in those photos
