the book we're here to celebrate a town without time gay lisa's new york collects a collection that includes his still legendary magazine articles and his articles are justly famous pieces like frank sinatra has a the silent season of a hero, namely joe dimaggio and bad news. his unforgettable. i laugh when i read that title because it's such a whimsical it's such a perfect title his profile of the lead obituary writer of the new york times, my bad news. anyway, my only criticism of those book titles is the one where he calls himself a scrivener, which implies that he stays at home and thinks of things to write when he's actually on the street in the neighborhood, always carrying a notebook. and he does things. but on the move we see our neighbor ever impeccably attired, strolling the community a notebook never far away from his hands. still a danger because he might record something that we're doing. he sees and hears in meticulous detail wherever he goes to lead tonight's conversation, we welcome back the new york times columnist dan barry who last roosevelt house to discuss his own recent

here in new york city, we have what i noticed, combine sewers. so that'd be storm water drains in the street. the drains in your bathroom. if the drains, the streak of 2 falls, is going to merge with the sanitary drainage system and then pollute that water that, that ends up in the river. so the more that we can decrease the run off of heavy rains on rooftops to relieve the pressure on the storm drain, the better off of the house. the whole city is going to be from an environmental standpoint. new york city is actually an act of the law that all new buildings, regardless of size, regardless of location, must have if they do not have a solar roof, a solar collecting roof must have a green roof. anastasia called, plucky ass, says that while the lo is heading in the right direction, it's not going far enough. in 2010, she co founded a function project in new york to chose just what is possible with a running to termination. brooklyn grange is the launch is rooftop farming business in north america. the, we would love to see incentives for building o

in 2010, she co founded a function project to new york. the chose just what is possible with a rung to termination. brooklyn grange is the launch, is rooftop funding business in north america. the we would love to see incentives for building owners to not just add the few solar panels, but to add the solar panels with a green roof underneath. green roofs and solar panels are a match made and happen because green roofs can reduce surface temperatures on a roof by between 30 and 40 degrees fahrenheit. that's a tremendous amount of a here in hong kong. after getting to know a lot of the farmers here and we'll look into some of the data. all we found out that more than 90 percent of the forward to hear that we can do on a daily basis as important. so i think with more more cities being urbanized to the amount of land is going to be uh, you know, mullins gonna be dedicated to real buildings or developments. i think the, the opportunities for the city people like us to engage with on the board is going to be less and less so, you know, instead o

i want to add that context and the things to the new york post. >> alina habba is the u.s. rney in new jersey, she needs to throw the book at this mayor as well as the congresswoman monica mciver she's clearly on camera assaulting a federal agent. it is one thing to peacefully protest she is hip checking a federal agent on camera you need to throw the book at these people as hard to deter this behavior from going forward. the democrats will not rest in the courts in the streets and congress if you deport any illegal alien but along the border in the rapists and once we move down the food chain to regular people it's going to get worse if you don't set a precedent now. before the election 62 or 63% of all of americans wanted every single illegal immigrants imported, not the criminals are the bad people. every single one and all remind everybody out there. it is estimated that illegals cost this country between state and local in federal close to $650 billion on an annual basis in the country with a two plus trillion dollars annual deficit $36 trillion. the highest suicide rat

than new york state in terms of president trump's historic support that he earned from voters in newthat the republican governor of new york, and i'm honored to be considering that, i'm honored to be -- the outpouring of support we've heard, we will certainly lower taxes so that we are no longer the highest taxed state in the nation. maria: so let's look at the cover of the new york post and, of course, there you are saying that you would be honored to actually take on that role of new york governor. is that going to be the campaign, lower taxes? what's the campaign? have you been working on it? >> well, absolutely. i am strongly considering because look at the crises that kathy hochul and single-party democrat rule have delivered to new yorkers. this has been over the period of decades. we have an economic crisis and an affordability crisis. if you look, we are the highest taxed state in the nation. we lead the nation outmigration, people leaving the state because it's so unaffordable. we're the most anti-energy state in the country. you have a ban on fracking, and you go over the b

, but is getting hammered on their property taxes and that's just a fact of life in a state like new york or new jersey and so mike ruly is absolutely correct in the fact that california and new york and new jersey delivered this majority, the reason jason smith has a gavel is because of the members in seats like mine and the fact is that when they passed the tax cuts and jobs act, salt was a pay for, for all the other provisions, and putting a cap in place again means that it is a pay for. so we are willing to give a little bit here. we are willing to negotiate. we've been willing to negotiate from the start. but what jason smith and the ways and means committee did yesterday by just putting out a number of 30,000 with an income limit of 400,000 and phasing it out for those who make more, that was not a negotiation and in fact jason said to us yesterday wasn't his job to negotiate. so if it's not his job to negotiate, then it's the speaker's along with the president and so we're ready to negotiate on a number. maria: well, look, the bottom line is taxes are just too high in new york. i m

we heard from our colleague in new york about new york. well, we've got to prompt justice department, i hope they are not as permissive to our fraud as president trump is himself in commuting the sentences and pardoning all of the fraudsters but if the justice department is out there, the u.s. attorneys, i tell them to get after it. that's the way to deal with fraud, not by denying americans who are trying to provide for their families, who barely scrape by the ability to see family physician and get prescriptions that they need. people that want to climb the economic ladder or family physician is vital. with that, i will yield back. recognized for five minutes. >> i support this amendment to put a stop to the republican reckless and dangerous attack on the health care of millions of americans. this bill will preserve, enhance aca premium credits and will provide them for those who lose health access as a result of this bill and we know that there will be millions to lose cover because of this bill. republicans are going to strip health ca

same thing in new york. right. we went to a random italian for lunch was actually super good because like there's so many good restaurants in new york city are going to survive if it's good here because republican party there, fitness as a political party is, a policy making party is so poor it's like evolution in reverse. evolution where now democrats can have poor fitness. that's what ezra's book is about, where they can be very sloppy in the way they're building infrastructure example they say, well, the republicans are worse you know, i voted for harris. i suppose that's true. but like that that you know and trump gets lot of mileage out of the excesses the mistakes that the democrats did make and public is losing patience with that already. it bought him, you know, enough and 53 votes in the senate. and so i don't know you know is this solve for that to have non primaries i mean the quote unquote kind of differ i think it's probably a good idea i mean look maybe we need a parliamentary system we're probably go

okay, new york times, axios, new york magazine, this is like the media elite wiring at the same time,ink? >> well, he's being a moderate which he fixed that district. it's worked out well for him. he was very successful his primary he won by 25% against the representative was a good fit and then he goes on to win the general election with 62% of the vote against doctor oz. 60% of the vote, he fits the district, he's got years to figure this out. questions about his help i think are fair, there were major headlines in the run up to us for selection with the stroke and then was open about his battle with depression so i think questions about health will be something he faces because of his openness in the public nature of this battle. not that is unfair but i do agree there's a pile on coming all at once. >> if you look at him, we saw that video of him coming down the hallway about his way, he looked like he was fit as a fiddle. we watched him run against doctor oz and he had a lot of trouble. i think he's doing better now than when he ran and that's when democrats defended him. >> you

"the new york times", this is absolute vintage "new york times" stuff. >> the left-wing media's coverage on illegal alien crimes is indicative of their commitment to ideological goals and advocacy rather than journalism. the reason that the media, and it's the marilyn father story, all these stories about laken riley's killer. the reason they omit key facts is because it undermines their narrative that any restriction on immigration is... and that illegal immigrants who come here are looking for a better life. if you report that this perpetrator was an illegal alien, it helps galvanize public support for border enforcement, for supporting our law enforcement and getting illegal migrants out of here. the mainstream media has to prevent that so they have to omit the facts. >> trace: it is unsurprising but there you go. cnn asking a member of the similar drug cartel what it's like to be labelled a terrorist by trump and the cartel members at the following. >> according to the trump administration you are a terrorist act what you make of that? >> the situation is ugly but we have to eat. >>
