00:00Just off of that, I guess, what is your message to migrants who have to go to court for their

00:07dates and are seeing these kinds of ice raves, you know, they're going there and they're

00:11getting their case dropped and then getting arrested minutes later, and then separately

00:16the first Democratic debate in the primary is tomorrow, what would you want to ask Andrew

00:22Cuomo if you were on that stage?

00:24First, let me ask you the first question.

00:27They should seek their counsel.

00:28That's what lawyers are for.

00:29They should seek their counsel.

00:30Someone is going to court.

00:31They should sit down with their counsel and be guided by their counsel on what actions

00:36they should take.

00:37I would encourage everyone to do that.

00:40Seek counsel from your counsel, from your lawyer.

00:45The question that I would ask if I was on the stage is just what's your consistency?

00:53And I'm pretty sure other candidates are going to raise that question of, you know, where's

00:57your consistency?

00:58You got in the way of increasing minimum wage when Bill de Blasio attempted to do it.

01:07You took away—you brought Tier 6, and now you're saying you're going to reverse it.

01:13You took away the Advantage program that really led and contributed to the homeless problem

01:19that we're having.

01:20You took away the psychiatric beds.

01:22And now you're saying you're going to remove all the people with psychiatric issues from

01:30Rikers.

01:31And I think he said 30 days?

01:32Who asked?

01:33Somebody asked me that.

01:34In 30 days, I don't know where you're going to put them, because you took away the psychiatric

01:37beds.

01:38Bail reform, that's your baby.

01:42The smoke shop, cannabis shop, that was your bill.

01:46We had to fix it.

01:48If you—I spent so much time fixing the governor's mess.

01:53You know, if you look at a lot of the energy that I had to do, I had to correct what he

01:58put in place.

01:59And now he reached the point that—I mean, he would say any and everything to get elected.

02:05How about just being honest?

02:07He understand how government operates.

02:09And so, my question to him is, what Cuomo are we speaking to right now?
