new yorkers do complain. but new yorkers are very generous of spirit.orkers appreciate when something special is taking place. >> another problem -- mother nature. >> there had to be a rule change in terms of us being able to bid on getting the super bowl. there was a rule that if it was an open exposed stadium, it had to be in a city where the average mean temperature the day of the game is above 50 degrees. that is clearly not the case in february in the new york and new jersey area. >> they changed that rule for this game. it went away. >> the stadium has a team of 1000 at the ready to clear snow from the stands with a network of chutes. facility operations vp dave duernberger says they are ready for the snow. >> we put a snowmelt on the 300 concourse, and one down here on the field. we have a 600-ton snowmelter we can use in the parking lot. they have a jet engine inside. the heat that is produced from the jet engines is what melts the snow. >> it is a big operation. >> no matter what the weather, it will be a great day. >> some of the greatest game

they often have a much better relationship with elected officials than everyday new yorkers do.while there was affordable housing built in the last 12 years under mayor bloomberg, that affordable housing was not built for certain people. for example, if you were a family of four that earned between $26,000 a year and $42,000 a year. so think of a single mom with three kids who works as an administrative assistant. there were basically no affordable apartments constructed over the last 12 years for that family. that really sent a message as to who this city wanted. you know, this city did not want regular working people, which is a real shame because that's who makes new york city great. >> as billionaires' row keeps rising, so does the cost of living, driving more and more people elsewhere. >> we're going to use every tool of this city government in ways more aggressive than ever attempted in the past to protect the interests of our people and make sure that every kind of person can live in new york city. >> but as mayor bill de blasio promises at least 200,000 units of affordab

why do you write essays when you could just write books? >> a new yorkertory is the most demanding literary form. it is much harder to write a new yorker story than a book. i have been fascinated with the gm ignition switch controversy. i am very late to the game here, but i don't want to write a book about it. i don't think anyone would read a book about it. but would it be the kernel of a great article? absolutely. >> we have seen journalists start their own companies. why not do something like that? >> because i would be terrible at it. i have to wake up too early in the morning, there are all kinds of very good reasons for me to steer clear of that. >> what about how the nfl has handled some of these domestic violence issues? >> this is a sport that is living in the past that has no connection, i think, to the realities of the game right now. and no real connection to american society. ♪ >> one of the subjects you wrote about is the nfl. you said it will become a ghettoized sport because of concussions, only poor athletes willing to play the game and t

as a new yorker, do you feel comfortable with all of these officers still on the job? >> we have to, again -- this is part of the issue. it's not just about pantaleo, although i know that in terms of this grand jury, all these other officers were granted immunity. so that's of concern as well. but the issue of the fact that nobody did anything. you see this for the minutes you're watching and all this pressure is being put on an individual that was absolutely doing very much nothing and nothing was being done, nobody was trying to pull officers off, nobody was trying to to have a level head. it seemed to escalate and escalate. and in a situation like this where there was such a minor issue, there should have been de-escalation going on. what is the level of training? i know there was a rollout and there has been a rollout of a training that officers will receive. we want to know more details about that. the training has to happen expeditiously, immediately. we want to see that implemented. there's a lot of work we have to do. and the manifestations we see out on the st

he said this has nothing to do with black and white, this is new yorkers together. do you think that's true? >> i think there's a case to be made that when you have these types of instances, they may represent a very, very small percentage of the interactions between police and citizens, nonetheless, from a policy per spec tich, you have to listen to the voices out there. dan donovan is the district attorney in staten island. i've known dan personally. he is a man of tremendous integrity. i think there's a lot of other stories here we'll have to see as they unfold and wait and see what kind of information that the grand jury got. there is a lot of questions. >> you know, if a prosecutor wants to get an en timt in a grand jury, he or she is get an en indictment. >> the grand jury ri is made up of sit teens. it's a one-sided presentation, normally favoring towards the en indictment. we have to see what information they received and what they focused on. >> pleasure to have you both with us. thank you so much. >>> we saw one of the images coming out. the five st. louis

do. and that's what i think all responsible new yorkers need to be doing right now. >> you know, it's hard in looking at this, reverend, in trying to sort of dissect. this the killer was a man with a long history of crimes. is he a career criminal. someone from law reports was mentally disturbed so a very troubled man. on the other hand, he posted things on instagram which showed he was blib brat. he had a plan. he had an intention and it stems from something that is, you know, has been in the news for the last six months. you know, so it's hard -- it's just an act of a crazed person or is this part of a deliberate attack on police officers in this country? >> i think it's a the act of a depraved person who used an unfortunate situation, a divide between the community and the police as a back drop for his, you know, meltdown. and it unfortunate because i don't think the two things are related. i will be honest with with you, i have talked to people in the community. and as angry as they were, the last thing that we want to see happen in our city is to see it open season on our police offic

do. i don't want to return to a city with people that urinate on the street, where people are discourteous to everyday new yorkers. what you do is you use the right amount of force to correct small infractions. someone should not lose their life because they're selling loosies. and that is the difference. how you approach someone for a minor infraction should be the same way throughout the city. and we're not doing that. >> as a police officer, as someone who has dealt with i'm sure thousands of situations throughout your career in which you're making a judgment in the moment about deescalating, escalating, danger, threat, what do you say when -- what do you think when you see that tape? when you see that officer come in in the situation that another officer seemed to have under control? >> exactly. >> and escalate. >> and that's at the heart of what we're looking at. in certain communities on park avenue in manhattan we use calm and collective and reasoning, and on park place in brooklyn we believe we go from zero to 100. we can't continue to use this high level of force for minor infractions. and that's what th

is there something the government can do to help sony? new yorker magazine said the government should step in and say we will subsidize sony if there are losses on the film. what about that idea, the government trying to subsidize somehow help free expression? >> i don't think you want government jumping in and backstopping the private market. they need a policy response, the same way that you would have a policy response for a terror attack. the reaction from sony the uproar in the u.s. will only encourage further attacks. we need some kind of policy to implement to stop people from doing this. >> sony is taking a lot of heat, but if you were sitting in their corporate office right now facing the legal liability if something went wrong at one of these theaters across the country, you would be seriously concerned. now, onto vladimir putin's annual press conference. the president of russia spoke for more than three hours, showing everybody that he has his country under control even as the ruble topples. he said other countries are affecting this. >>

according to a recent quinnipiac poll, while only half of new yorkers approve of overall police performance in new york, nearly 80% of staten islanders do. in the garner case, 65% of new yorkers felt there was quote no excuse for the police actions seen in that video, but only 45% of staten islanders felt that way. when asked whether criminal charges should've been brought against the police for garner's death, 65% of new yorkers supported the idea, but only 42% of staten islanders did. >> i would think justice would prevail. we actually have it on tape doing the maneuver, and it seems like justice isn't giving them that. >> i don't understand how it's, like, possible for that to even happen. like, remove the badge, you're a human being. you should be charged just as much as anyone else. >> the staten island district attorney daniel donovan, jr. up for reelection next year stated he conducted a thorough investigation into garner's death and presented the information to the grand jury. he said yesterday "i assured the public i was committed to a fair, thorough and responsible investigation into mr. garner's death and would go wherever th

something we all know thousand do as new yorkers is stand together in times of adversity. we lost a family member here, cypress hills is a community where everyone stands together when they are going through a tough time. i extend prayers to the family of officer ramos and his young son and make sure we stand together that the family receives the support they need. >> thank you. >> the governors of puerto rico. >> any questions?

yorker. i am pretty sure it was an attack on two new york -- what do we call them? the finest? the bravest? >> he didn't come out to till new yorkers. he came out to kill police. >> it is like saying all lives matter, that's not okay to say because it is a specific issue. we shouldn't say it is an attack on all new yorkers. it is specific and it was an attack on police. don't generalize for your own profit and your own uh jean do. >> greg, what is the deal with with -- why is the teacher's union in so good with the democrats, but the police -- it is similar. they are municipal unions. they do the hardest work in bad neighborhoods, right? why is it the democrats can't get square with the police union? >> i don't know. that's a tough question and i did not prepare for it. the police union is the only union i like. it is the only one i like. every time i run into a cop they are always massive massive "red eye" fans. usually they are up all night. >> they watch it in realtime. >> exactly. and they know everything about it. that's not -- teachers, that's not the case. teachers don't -- i think te

[inaudible] >> you wonder if the president had the luxury of subtitles as well. the royal couple has scheduled a busy trip. in addition to several meetings they're planning to tour the national 9/11 memorial and they're taking in a brooklyn nets game tonight. don't think here here for my nets but they should be. they're here for lebron and the cavaliers-john honey hunt is covering this -- jonathan hunt is discovering this but has renounced his british citizen shi

because i do believe that most new yorkers are behind the police. all right? there is a small amount of people out there that are demonstrating against police officers that are creating all these problems, and somehow we've got to find a way to silence them. >> and what about the relationship between the mayor and the police department? that too has to be resolved. >> right. i think i said, the lieutenant -- the association did reach out to the mayor and he said he's willing to talk with them. and the mayor has got to learn that the police department -- listen, the police department protects the mayor. protects his family. i don't think he's going to want the police department to be against him. you know? so i think that the mayor has got to sit down, and first apologize to the police department. apologize to the police officers in this city for the way he's been handling this problem. >> harry houck, retired former new york police department detective, and, of course, before even we get to that moment there is the difficulty of dealing with the tragic loss of

>> i do, but i also, as a new yorker, the idea that arrests are down 66%. lou: yes, it is. >> since this crisis began suggests to me the kind of problem we have to resolve and why i feel very strongly it's not papering over differences, it's constructively working together to get both sides on the same page which appears to be happening, and i'm very pleased both sides are moving past unconstructive action and rhetoric towards reconciliation. lou: i don't know we can say that empirically, doug, the "new york times" comes out with an editorial attacking the new york police department. this is a consolidation, a coalesence of left wing influences and power in the city against public safety. that in and of itself is madness and there has to be someone in politics in business, in leadership, that will step up and say this is an unacceptable way for a mayor, for a city council, for the city's largest publication, one of the most influential publications to behave. this is to me a moment in which we need mature reflective leadership that creates results instead o

but i do ask everyone, all new yorkers, all of our visitors in this town to respect the memory of ericner, michael brown, to respect their families by expressing yourself only in peaceful means. you're going to hear in a few minutes from the commissioner and key members of his team. i'd like to acknowledge some others and thank them for their extraordinary efforts, particularly in the last 24 hours. i want to thank our chief of department, jimmy o'neill who i think did a fantastic job managing the situation last night. also the commanding officer of the academy. the executive officer for the academy. you'll hear from the commissioner, first deputy commissioner in just a few minutes. so a lot of people, as i said yesterday, felt a lot of pain, a lot of frustration. my message to the people is take that pain and frustration and work for change. the relationship between police and community has to change. the way we go about policing has to change. has to change in the city, has to change in the country. i am fundamentally convinced it will change. people who feel aggrieved are asking for
