we will still be down 3 240-0000 jobs in new york city. so you think new york is really facing a jobs crisis? absolutely. new york city's job loss is 2 and a half times the job loss around the country and the coven pandemic. impact has been largely concentrated on the face to face service. for people who occupy these largely people of color, 80 percent of the job loss is in that sector. and only like 6 percent of higher paying jobs have been affected by this. so it's really much more lopsided than anything we've seen before. and hadn't experienced 2 thirds of the cities job loss because it is the center of service sector jobs connected both to tourism and office work. there are 1200000 office workers in new york city that supports a lot of daytime economic activity in restaurants and retail, barbershop, snail's log only, but 10 to 15 percent of those office workers have come back in 2 years from now. 100 percent won't be back because there will be a permanent increase in people working from home. come up here. and here are standing over all

looking at this virus and pandemic behind us and looking forward to the future because look at new york city under covid 19 and the whole state of new york under governor cuomo and his powers. >> look at new york city and compare it to others, the public health crisis against the economic interest, economic freedom of the citizens, versus states like california. when you look at your district, that is the one. what flips someone from voting to a democrat to voting for a republican? that's a question you hope to answer and you tell me that issue, the one that resonates, all of the insanity in our response to the pandemic. >> the insanity to response to the pandemic, insanity towards our children, just common sense, the way you flip somebody from the extreme left or extreme right, this goes for democrats and republicans alike is common sense, talking to people and explaining to them, this nonsensical aoc type agenda which my opponent subscribes to 100% of the time, has of voting record 100% of the time and comes back to the district and calls himself a moderate while someone who agrees with na

overnight here in new york city you talk about murders, two murders overnight in new york city.ew york city over the last two years has seen 100% increase in shootings and a 50% increase in murders in two years. that's after 28 straight years of crime decline, murder decline. those numbers aren't going to change anytime soon. >> you brought up bail reform, bail reform is an issue important to a lot of people, a lot of people on the other side of the criminal justice system, but when we talk to active and former police chiefs like yourself it's something that people always bring up. why? what do you see? >> it's a system that was abused in many respects and particularly in poor and minorities were kept in jail because they didn't have the money to get out of jail. you're going to find most police chiefs are supportive of bail reform, but it's the expression of bridge too far. we went many bridges too far and coupled with the coronavirus issue, the criminal justice system, the court system, collapsed in america. we didn't have trials so people would be let out and with no trials t

there is an effort underway right now in new york city, there is a long-standing lgbt history museum and san francisco. we could see more of those projects funded by city, state, and local governments. more research into the history of lgbt abuse and harassment including abuse and harassment by official government authorities. those are the steps that would build on what is really just a symbolic apology at this point. >> from new jersey, richard, good morning to you. >> good morning. i want to discuss the beginning of my coming out and going into new york as i used to go to the gay pride parade, but only when at night because i did not want to go near tv cameras, and my very best friend who was a schoolteacher said that he could not go to the gay pride parade until the evening time because he was afraid that he would definitely lose his job as a schoolteacher. he was the spanish an italian teacher in new jersey. and absolutely loved his job as a foreign language teacher. and i do remember enjoying halloween on the christopher street. and then i remember that a big change was during t

there are 456 stations in new york city and at any given time there are train cars running through itansit experience was probably my most satisfying. the city police with 25,000 housing police with 4000 but they were the old police. people would say where do you work? i work in transit. we are not well thought of. in 2.5 years we got the department accredited and a great team working and when i talk about having relations with the union to union paid for the whole 60 person team to go to california for the awards or money. can you imagine that? they felt so proud of the idea that we have become accredited and now have this reputation by the marine corps. i had so much fun and it allowed me to recognize the headquarters the rest of it is the burbs. i was able to watch, look at that which was advised by bob washington who is advising me in the transit police. my off-broadway transit production was on broadway in the new york city police department and as luck would have it, a couple of years later it happened. >> host: let's talk about your first tour of duty in new york as new york ci

jonathan: lisa, it is about crime in new york city. lisa: eric adams, a former leader of the new york police department, but also has the experience of having been beaten by cops as a 15-year-old, trying to appeal to both sides. interesting to follow what you were talking about. progressive voices getting less attention as people focus on bringing the city back, both economically and from a quality of life perspective. jonathan: let's begin with the price action, muted on the s&p 500 following a couple days of gains. we are positive, 0.01%. a bit excited on -- a bit of excitement on the euro-dollar. lisa knows why we started with that morgan stanley story. lisa: there is nothing else going on, even as we get a bunch of fed speak. yesterday we heard from the fed, john williams, as well as michael mckee, a fascinating interview, talking about a more dovish approach. also hearing from other leadership including jay powell. today, we will hear from michelle bowman and eric rosengren. the dissonance is still there in terms of who agrees with

into the numbers you're seeing. >> it factors greatly into the numbers in law enforcement and new york city. also other parts of the country are seeing. that's why we're seeing as part of this announcement from the president today that he's announcing that the atf, police officials in new york, chicago and l.a., and others, washington, d.c. and san francisco, where they are seeing an increase in gun violence, specifically gun violence they are seeing an increase in over the last 18 months. they're stepping up this task force to deal with gun trafficking. it's basically what's going on, that people are leaving their cities like new york and going out of the state where there are lax gun laws, buying the guns and bringing them into new york city, selling them in new york city, and also sharing them. there is a big problem with gangs and crews that are using these weapons that they're buying out of state. we see the numbers here in new york. 2,169 guns have been seized in really the first six months of this year. the n.y.p.d. said they are seeing the numbers bigger than they have seen in almos

this is what we need to do for health insurance, to expand new york city tears. this is what we need to do in all of our schools across the city, so that families feel welcome. one of the fact is, if your mother is illiterate -- is literate, you are more likely to be successful in school. this is the type of male reality i am going to run. this is what you deserve. someone who rolls up their sleeves, wakes up early, and makes it so we deliver for you. >> mr. stringer, what is the biggest risk to undocumented people living in new york city, and how can you help? mr. stringer: the biggest risk is city government's inability to run the programs that make systemic change necessary. i talk about the lack of affordable housing. that is undocumented workers. i talk about an education system that is not meeting the needs of the children of front-line workers, undocumented workers, who literally risk their lives every day. many died to make sure the rest of us had food. it was not government doing the heavy lifting. it was the people in the streets, who for very few dollar

today with the new york city democratic mayoral election. this is basically the elections is the democratic candidate usually does when. the key aspect, number one, this is a ranked choice election. people petition you on that street sign if you don't vote for our candidate number one, vote for number two. get a candidate that perhaps appeals to a broader swath of potential voters. basing new york city, the biggest city in the u.s., how do you recover from a pandemic that has decimated the workplace culture as well as the population? 1:00 p.m., the u.s. is planning to sell to your nose. tom keene loves bond option so i will go into detail. the reason why i care about this, the huge move we saw upward in these yields in particular. you can see how it surged to the highest level since march on the more hawkish comments by a select few regional fed presidents. how much will this turn into something perhaps a bit messier? 2:00 p.m., jay powell testifying to a house subcommittee. how much will he double down on a dovish tilt to emphasize heat and

thing that gets lost are the victims, the victims are being forgotten and you defund you the new york city police department by a billion dollars, get rid of the anti-crime unit and of course crime will go up. bail reform is one of the worst things that ever happened to the city. last year alone, 500 people were arrestd and released because of reform and quickly committed another crime, many of the crimes felonies. 50 people were shot this weekend alone. a few weekends ago, savannah cata ro, a 15 year old, she was shot in the head. they asked if she was part of the gang, she said no, but her mother is. they chased her down and shot her. mary lightfoot, the mayor, just declared racism public health crisis, but gang violence is the health crisis. many progressives think, they see violence and crime, not as crime, they see criminals as victims themselves, of systemic racism. if they're the victims, you will not treat them like criminals, you have to treat criminals like criminals because victims are being forgotten. >> harris: such an interesting point and sea important carley, what does the

check out the sample ballot for new york city democratic primary where 13 candidates are vying for the spot. new york voters can make up to five choices and rank them. a candidate needs a majority of the vote to win outright in the first round. that won't happen. if no candidate receives more than 50% of the first choice vote which is unlikely since 13 are running tablet will be in subsequent round. the fewest counts is eliminated and all ballots for that candidate will be reallocated to the next highest rank candidate selected and the process continues until two candidates are left with the winner determined by who has the most votes in the final round. rank choice isn't exactly unheard of. it's becoming more common. according to fair vote, 21 jurisdictions used it in the most recent elections and 52 jurisdictions will do so in upcoming elections. that means jurisdictions within 29 states will employ rank choice voting in some form, if only at the local level or in military and overseas voting. maine has gone a step further using its statewide and federal elections since 1918. alaska

, and that is our new york city euro chief shelly banjo -- new york city bureau chief. a word of distinction on this election. what is it? to me it has been the assent of crime, of what are we going to do about safety in the city. what is the shelly banjo distinction of the spoke today? shelley: thanks, tom. it is a real vote on how you want the city to recover. early in the election cycle, you saw a rise of the candidate like andrew yang, saying i want to bring hope and cheerfulness back to a city still in lockdown. everyone has sort of come out of their homes and realized maybe some of the more quality-of-life issues like crime, maybe those are a little more important right now to me than some of the more ideological battles that were fought over the last eight years in new york. lisa: tom has been talking about turnout. typically with primaries, there isn't that big of a number of individuals that actually go out and vote. do we have a sense of what turnout will be like this year? shelly: i think that is the most import question on everybody's minds because there are

you want to vote in hell before you want to vote in new york city. and by the way, it's up to new york state to change that, and they haven't done that. so listen to this, jonathan, about this corrupt incestuous blight on american democracy, "the new york times" writes this, this is the history. in 1940, a city investigation found it was plagued by quote illegality, inefficiency, laxity and waste. that's in 1940. in 1971, a times editorial derided it quote at best, a semifunctioning acronism, and an embarrassing back of understanding. reform seemed inevitable after city department investigation released a scathing report in 2013. investigators found quote illegalities, misconduct, and antiquated operations, including here it comes, here it comes, including that nearly 10% of employees were related to each other. when i say incestuous and corrupt, it is one of the most incestuous, corrupt agencies still existing in this democracy, jonathan. you work for the daily news, give us a little insight into just how bad it is. by the way, talk about how tough i

now with the all-time record high of 108 yesterday that passes baltimore, washington, d.c., new york cityp with the city like nashville. you don't consider seattle a hot city for today, 12 million impacted in the west with heat warnings in the east, we are watching philadelphia area with excessive heat warning it is a different type of heat in the west. it is hot and dry. in the northeast, it is hazy, hot and humid. the middle of summer stuff you expect we will still see oppressive stuff today. spokane, washington should be 110 today. notice we get slightly cooler tomorrow the coastal areas are better, but the northern rockies that will still be hot. as we head toward the east, today is a very sweaty day, brian. 101 will feel like in new york city tomorrow will be the end of it we will see big-time thunderstorms. we will talk more about that in the days ahead moving through the northeast on wednesday pick your poison the northeast and northwest just brutal this week >> yeah, i saw it was 112 or something in vancouver, british columbia and saskatchewan. it is not just the u.s the good news

and so what we develop here in new york city was a new york city crisis management system.t is over 35 different sites, over 60 organizations that coproduce public safety. what does that mean? it means we not only take the guns out of the hands, but we help theeople heal on both sides of the guns from the trauma of violence, that we deal with it from the perspective of response, recover mitigatn, and prevention. and so when you're looking at the four buckets, all of the work that different organizations do, whether it is afterschool programs, jobs, whether it is community policing, partnership with clergy andrganizations, whether it is giving out food, helping people therapeutically heal from the consistent presence of gun violence in their community, whether it is working directly with the highest individuals and giving them a work plan or helping develop within a work plan that pushes them into another trajectory in life and helping change community normso that when we seeituations that will rise to an incident of violence, we immediately separate and intermediate and neg

a big foul up in vote counting in the race for mayor of new york city. e city board of elections took down previously reported results and the democratic primary after mistakenly counting test ballots. that produced about 135 thousand dummy ballots that skewed the results. the inaccurate count showed brooklyn borough president eric adams losing a large part of his lead over the former city sanitation commissioner. russia's president vladimir putin has accused the u.s. of playing a role in what he's called a provocation in the black sea last week. putin said a few hours before a british warship engaged in a standoff with the russian navy off the coast of crimea, a u.s. reconnaissance plane took off from greece to observe the kremlin's reaction. russia says it used warning shots to force the british ship to leave. kim jong-un faces a grave situation from covid negligence that has created a crisis. they deny that north korea has had any infections. state run media is not taking any details. quarantine steps have made its economic crisis even worse. global ne

and it's hard to take it away when with it gets to that point. >> well, charles, i grew up in new york citytan, but the fact is in the '70s and '80s we had a welfare right mentality in the city of new york, and it led to people getting cash assistance and not being encouraged to work. and that's what i think this irs payment from washington which, in a way, is a step worse because there isn't even any local involvement will do. it will diminish the incentive to work, diminish the connection between people -- and i know for republicans, conservatives, the idea being helpful is hard to believe -- [laughter] but when people come to them and seek assistance, there is an action which can lead to substance abuse treatment being provided, domestic violence issues being looked into and cared for and, importantly, helping people get a job. charles: you know, some people would say particularly in the '70s though that the bureaucratic aspect was too heavy-handed with people coming into your houses and if you were a single mom to see if you had a boyfriend, if there were clothes lying around. it was ve

but i know that my job as the next new york city mayor is to fight everyday for new york city residentsorative in getting the work done. >> a lot of people left new york city. we don't actually -- it's hard to tell exact numbers but people working here, don't come into work here anymore, people who lived here left. what's the number one thing that you think will get people back to new york city? >> oh, there are really two pieces to that puzzle because i've been talking to a lot of employers in the city. crime, feeling safe on the subway and the second one is kids got to get back in school. it is a huge barrier to returning physically to the office, to be doing zoom school with your kids. >> katherine gar see that, a few weeks left in this very unique election where getting second place on some people's ballots -- >> that helps. >> that helps. >> you want to be one and you want to be two. >> really appreciate you being with us. >> thank you. >>> dramatic video released of the masked gunmen behind a mass shooting in florida. the one big piece of evidence that just turned up at the bottom

significance of the mayoral race, its ups and downs, and who really is vying to run the city. >> the new york cityee is by far the biggest city in america. while i would not necessarily call it a trendsetter, you're having far more people vote in this contest than any other municipal contest in any other city. it is more akin to a statewide race. there are millions of registered democrats, probably 800,000 democrats are going to vote next tuesday. the winner is really competing and trying to when many different factis that are somewhat representive of the mocraticarty. new york, whe it has a reputation very much -- much more progressive than it used to be, there are still a wide array of different people who are coming to vote. it is an credibly diverse electorate. you have black voters, the tino voters,rthodox jews, young a fluid voters come educated voters, working-classoters. really is this tremendous mix of people. while i would not go as far to say the winner can say something about the future of th democratic party, you can say that within new york city, there is an incredible amount of dive

we are delighted to welcome ray kelly, former new york city police commissioner, and currently the ceothe guardian group. commissioner, thank you so much for being with us. there is a perception by many in new york that we are less safe than we were two years ago. is that accurate and how big is the problem, in your estimation? >> all they have to do is look at crime. shootings are up well over 100%. homicides are up. not only -- the city feels unsafe. there is no question about it not there is a perception that the city is unsafe. that's what you have to find. the reason crime is up is simple. crime is up because police are not engaging with the public. why? because many of them feel that they may lose their job for simply doing their job. unison polities, counties, they put in a whole host of regulations that restricted the police, greatly restricted the police. certainly in new york city, there's things like the diaphragm law that prevented police officers from using any pressure on the diaphragm when making arrests which is totally unrealistic. so no question about it. that is why

they go after the major crimes in cities like new york city. when you are cutting the detectives to make your budget, you have got a real problem. lastly, proactive policing which is what i used to deal with, i'm sure you did trey going after gun traffickers, illegal gun traffickers and all that, those are the first things that are sacrificed when you don't have funding because you're putting out fires all over the city instead of going after the hard criminals. that's what's going on. that's why president biden with his tired old rhetoric on guns completely misses the mark. we've got -- instead of defunding police, we need to refund police and get them back into the communities, especially with respect to community policing. he's not proposing any of that. he's just bringing up tired old democratic lines that aren't working. >> trey: you know, john, there's a tendency i think of people wanting to blame congress for almost everything. i'm going to resist that tendency because the overwhelming majority of crime is state and local. so what realis

new york city has never had a woman mayor. 's been 109 mayors, all of them have been men, one black mayor. eric adams could potentially become the city's second black mayor. kathryn garcia in third place. maya wiley in second place. she ran a very different campaign. she has sort of been embraced by the progressive wing of the democratic party here in the city and has a lot of support. kathryn garcia ran a more moderate race with similar messaging to that of eric adams. >> so we only have the early vote counts for now. explain how the vote is going to play out over the next few weeks when they begin to count mail-in ballots and so forth. >> they're going to have to wait. the board of elections is going to be count ing. june 29th is when the first round of ranked choice counting will begin in this election. a this is the first time the city is using ranked choice voting where voters get to rank their choices. unless somebody pulls off 51% of the vote, we go into these counts. it's expected next tuesday. we kind of get to do prim

they're counting ballots here in new york city.tic primary for new york city mayor, we don't know who won. we won't know for a while. with a we do know is brooklyn borough president eric adams is leading among the votes counted and andrew yang, the guy who had run for president before, says he's toast, that he's not going to win. we're joined by senior political writer and analyst and see where we stand with the ballots that are counted so far. where do we stand? well, there is a clear leader right now. the polls are actually pretty good, yes, current first choice, eric adams with near 32% of the vote. maya wiley about ten points back at 22%. kathryn garcia, who supposedly had all that late momentum, near 20% of the vote, andrew yang faded significantly, all the way back to 12% of the vote. this does not include at least 87,000 mail-in ballots. these totals may shift down the road. it's clear eric adams is well out in front. >> this gives us the shape of where things stand. we'll talk about the ranked choice impact in a second beca

also learning that the trump organization has now filed a lawsuit against new york city over bill de city over a golf course. where do things stand at this point? >> that's right, after january 6th, de blasio terminated trump's contract to own a city-owned golf course in the bronx and trump yesterday sued him saying there's nothing in the contract that lets you fire me for basically being a bad person or tarnishing my own brand name. the only reason you can get rid of me is if i screw up the course and i didn't. i see this in the context of a negotiation. de blasio and the city wants trump out. trump wants some sort of payout to leave. this lawsuit is a step in that direction. trump is asking i'll leave if you give me $30 million which is the money i put in, probably an opening offer and they'll reach some settlement in the middle. >> city wants trump out, trump wants a payout, groundhog day all over again. thank you for watching. that wraps up a busy day. hallie jackson is keeping an eye on capitol hill. don't go anywhere. did you know prilosec otc can stop frequent heartburn before
