Mamdani 'LOCKS DOWN' NYC... "Betrayed" Voters FLOOD City Hall, DEMAND RESIGNATION

It's only been a month and New York's mayor has already brought back lockdowns.

Due to these factors, we are declaring a state of emergency and instituting a travel ban.

Oh, a travel ban!

Starting at 9pm this evening and ending at 12pm tomorrow. The state of emergency closes the streets, highways, and bridges of New York City for all traffic. Cars, trucks, scooters, and e-bikesikes with some specific exemptions for essential and emergency movement.

For your safety, stay home, stay inside and stay off the roads. It's banned and you know why there's a lockdown and a travel ban? Not enough New Yorkers went out there to shovel the cities way out of this mess.

The big snowstorm coming to date and our mayor says that we need emergency snow shovelers. If you'd like to sign up to be a paid snow shoveler, you can go to any DSNY garage from mess. Why? Not yet. I think the earliest that we can put you out there is 8pm tonight. It's $20 an hour?

I think it's actually higher now.

Okay. 30 bucks an hour! If I have a sub board and I can do the work of 3-4 people, can I get paid more?

I don't think so.

I thought we could just tax the rich. We need two forms of ID? What happens if I only have one? You need two forms to sign up. One from this side and one from this side. It's so interesting because they want to tell us we don't need ID to vote but we need two forms of ID to shovel. You know?

Well, shoveling is important.

I have to print those. What if I don't have a printer?

You go to CVS.

Okay, thank you.

Okay, but the thing is, CVS is closed right now. You ain't going to CVS and the mayor's out there begging for people to help but it's the city's fault that it can't help itself because the residents don't have their two printed photos from CVS weeks ahead of a snowstorm. We got here our mayor said to show

up at the garage at 8 a.m. I was just told inside that I have to come back at 8 p.m. and that my shovel is outdated but they have another one waiting for me. A new model. A new model. They're going to hold on to it for me. I have to come back.

That's cool.

With the proper attire, two forms of ID, a social security card, two photos printed out.

Wow.

Get paid $30 an hour.

It's not going to happen. And the ID is not even the worst part. It's just the stupid requirements of this whole thing that you gotta have stuff printed out because the city won't take your picture and print it out themselves, right? That's the issue.

What's required in order to join the emergency snow shovelers in New York City this weekend. With the huge snowstorm coming to New York City and other places in the Northeast, Zoran announced if you wanna make some extra cash and you're in New York City,

you can be an emergency snow shoveler. Yeah it sounds great. Those that are eligible are at least 18 years old makes sense eligible to work in the United States uh able to perform heavy physical labor makes sense and then also when you register you must have two original forms of ID. Oh and it says you need copies. When Zoran announced this, he made sure to not include that you need two forms of ID.

...my vans and two DSNY buses to transport shovelers where they're needed faster. And for those who want to do more to help their neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler. Just show up at your local sanitation garage between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. tomorrow with your paperwork which is accessible online at nyc.gov slash snow. Yeah he didn't mention what the paperwork was. This announcement made it sound like people could just go out there and be helpful

and help their community and get paid and save the world but these requirements stop that from happening. I don't have a printer. I don't have the ability to print photographs. How am I supposed to go become a snow shoveler even if I have a shovel and am willing to work

and could get a job with my ID and my social security number? You see, this is more requirements to work for the city than to work at a private business. And the entire city has essentially been paralyzed. Look at that tree.

It just fell down. That's gonna take out people's power lines. There's gonna be people living in the dark. Look, they got the fire department out there. That's good that they're at least out there, but that apartment, that place doesn't have any power.

I see a light on in this other one. Okay, that's a good thing. But this place has failed to operate. Look at this. You cannot drive down the street. Can't take a bike. There goes the idea to save the environment riding around a city e-bike. And we do have some snow plows. But this looks like a rich neighborhood right here. You know how I can tell because the neighborhood I live in hasn't been plowed yet and some of this footage is from last night. Look at this. You ain't getting delivery either because even if the restaurant that you want to get delivery from is open there ain't nobody

riding a bike because they're banned. They're not even supposed to be out there on the road if they could even do it. And these guys they're out there with snowblowers but they can't get a job working for the city to shovel more snow than is necessary if they don't have access to CVS. You see, look at this. Where's this in my neighborhood?

I don't see this in my neighborhood. Why, how come they have four trucks right there? That's crazy, but they're not here. This is how it works, man. You gotta live where the rich live, or the well-connected, or over by where the mayor is. I'm sure they plowed Gracie Manor.

I'm sure they plowed City Hall.

Unbelievable.

And they say we don't have enough money. And guess who's not happy about this?

Heya, you came here with a good talk,

but you're not walking the good walk.

The water went up.

Utilities went up. Yeah, utilities going up. The gas went up, light bill went up. Now property taxes.

Oh yeah, raise the taxes. What exactly are we doing here?

Do your job as mayor and leave our taxes.

No, can't do that.

So these are American citizens who very distinctly remember not very long ago that Zoran Mondani, when he was a candidate, said, I promise I'm not going to raise taxes on you. Yeah, right. You came in with a good talk.

We don't let politicians get away with this in America before there's a revolt.

Read my lips. No new taxes.

Yeah, and we all know how that worked out while we're in the middle of a lockdown. That's what we're paying for.

We're paying for lockdowns and travel bans now. Communist and yes bans now. government-run grocery stores he wants free transportation both of which are impossible to do because how is that kind of a trigger word I was undermine all this policies he's not a kind of undermine his policies is under place policies undermine himself well yeah they do works here's a do him to do tell me where they've ever worked they've never worked he knows that I knows that but what he's trying to do is promise everybody something that they can't have. And the truth is there is no free lunch, just like right

no free bus. Because you know what happens when you have a free bus? There's nobody there to fix it or to drive it. He knows that I know that you know that America does know it. And it's unfortunate that the city of New York, my former home city is probably gonna have to

go through this. It's going through it right now and it's actually getting worse every single day.

Here's why.

A recent budget proposal by Mayor Mamdani could see major cuts to the NYPD.

News 12's Karina Gary has the details.

Can't have cops.

Less than two months into his first term and Mayor Mamdani is already facing financial

blows. When we took office, we inherited a historic budget gap. Already.

Okay. At first he said it was 12 billion.

Wow. Wow. You know that's sending bad messages. They can't try to balance budgets on.

So he said during the campaign that he was not going to defund the police at all. He did make sure to say that. He said he was going to keep funding levels as is but right here we see a funding cut and there are police who were supposed to be hired and now you know what? Guys, drop out of the Academy just or finish if you want to and we'll call you if we need you, right? That's a huge problem. New York already has less officers than it needs.

We've got officers that are retiring and we've got these teen takeovers that won't stop happening in the city.

A President's Day takeover turns violent at a Bronx mall and now other malls are ramping up their security.

Police say at least 18 people are in custody and most of them are teenagers.

Wow, we're calling police, are you kidding me?

Get out of here!

That sound is glass breaking after someone is seen throwing an object into Munchies Deli on Baychester Avenue. Just one of the chaotic moments that erupted in and around Bay Plaza mall Monday afternoon

They tried to like break in you know we close the door

We tried to avoid breaking into a deli for no one the manager who didn't want to show his face Says the situation quickly spiraled out of control and fear set in

300 people breaking windows, destroying businesses. And you know what? Let's cut the NYPD's funding. Let's cut that so that we can pay for all the other stuff we want to pay for. We got $1.2 billion lined up for people that are in New York illegally. They're gonna get the money.

The police can't have the money. And who does that hurt? That hurts businesses. These people are now being taxed twice. They're gonna be taxed if they're millionaires. They're gonna be taxed again by the crime tax that comes from just being here. But just before we continue,

you may have seen the conversations online lately about how censorship is back and it's happening everywhere. Platforms are controlling narratives and they're pushing the stuff they want us to see. We need to fight back. And Rumble is the only company that has stood the test of time

and deserves our support. On the one side, Rumble is challenging big tech censorship, but on the other side, they have introduced something that will give us protection from the big banks shutting us down.

Across the street police say they believe this same large group of teenagers broke a window at the McDonald's area. Businesses say this gathering was no accident. The rowdy bunch came together after a planned takeover was being advertised across social media platforms. Police say they arrested 17 teenagers.

Okay, but whose fault is that? Is that the fault of Facebook or Instagram or wherever this happened? Or is that the fault of our city for having laws that don't punish people that wanna commit crime

and for getting rid of the few police that are even there to arrest them? Look at all these police patrolling this McDonald's right here. That's wild. They can't go solve other crimes.

There is now an opportunity for criminals to go to wherever those police were and commit crime there because we don't have enough police. We gotta just move them around. We're just rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship.

And one adult.

To organize and create chaos, that's just not okay. No. All I heard was screaming.

Now there's still no clear reason why these kids

decided to do this but police are speculating it's due to the warmer weather and also no school.

What do you mean warmer weather? If 45 degrees triggers the mobs of 300 people to go and destroy an entire shopping mall what's gonna happen when it when it's, you know, a nice 75 degrees on a spring afternoon? What's going to happen then? You better put your seatbelt on.

You ever seen a piranha eating food? When one attacks, they all come in.

Piranhas.

That's exactly what happened.

He called them piranhas.

...handle security at five below.

Five below?

He says he had to keep the doors locked to prevent damage.

Look at this. doors locked to prevent damage. As a group made repeated attempts to get inside.

They tried to get in here at least twice. It was like they was making rounds.

Making rounds. Spreading to nearby Yonkers Tuesday, where police and private security were seen monitoring activity at the cross county center.

In case of additional takeovers, Yonkers.

So New York has a law, it's called the Raise the Age Law. And what it effectively did, and it said that anybody who's under the age of 18 cannot be held responsible for criminal behavior, which essentially means if you're not 18, you gotta get out of jail free card. That's why nobody's in jail, because everybody gets out.

And what we're essentially doing in New York while we lay off future police officers and cut their funding right now, is we're teaching people how to become career criminals. You got somebody who's, you know, between the ages of 14 and 18,

they're gonna have a bachelor's degree in crime. But let's get an update from the mayor on the snow response. See how we're doing.

We are seeing the first blizzard our city has seen since 2016. What about the one two weeks ago? The most up-to-date counts are giving us estimates of between 90 to 21 inches citywide with certain localized areas up to about 22 inches. As of 5.30 AM this morning, the incredible men and women of DSNY had done a first plow of 99.3% of all of our city roads.

Except where I live.

There's been a shift change since then, and New Yorkers

can't stay up-to-date on that through plow NYC. You decided to close the schools today no remote learning when do you think you're going to be able to make a decision about schools tomorrow?

It's already been made decision. Can't get down the street. We haven't yet made that decision we will be communicating that however to families as well as students and staff sometime in the afternoon. We're doing everything we can right now to respond to the storm and make sure that we're ready for tomorrow. And as soon as we have that information, we will be sharing that. Oh, we're going to see.

This is the second storm in the last four weeks. I know you faced some criticism after

the first one and you've- Yeah, see the news is breaking it up. They're like, look, buddy, we just had a storm. We And you're facing some criticism from that one. Did you have time to learn any lessons? And how are you implementing those lessons right now?

You were gonna do things a little better a little differently this time around So what are some of those things that you guys do as you're addressing? Well, we're first of all looking at everything that worked last time around starting it from the very first day And then looking to enhance it. Now, the one silver lining here is that unlike with the last storm, where we saw a prolonged cold spell after the storm,

which led to snow hardening into ice, what we're seeing now, however, is that we expect temperatures to get into the 40s sometime in midweek.

So what we're gonna do differently is we're gonna have different weather. The weather is gonna come in and clean up the mess for us. That's the plan.

That's the key plan.

They have no plan.

In melting the snow, as opposed to last time, we had literal snow melting operations in every single borough of the city. Now, in addition to what we were doing from the last time around, we've been able to geotag all of our unsheltered bus stops

and crosswalks across the city. So DSNY has an active look at when the last time was that we cleaned through these bus stops and these crosswalks so that New Yorkers can get around whenever they can, no matter what mode of transit that they're doing. In addition to DSNY, we've also brought in about double the number of emergency snow shovelers. So through sustained outreach over the last few weeks, we've brought in an additional 500, 600 snow shovelers.

So in a city of 8 million people who are struggling to afford rent and to live and can't work today because wherever they work today is shut down as there's a travel ban, they got 500 people to shovel snow. I don't know what the percentage is. The numerator is too small for that massive eight million denominator

for me to do the math required to figure out how successful this snow shoveler operation has been. It's been a failure.

Who have been able to clear a first pass at least of more than a thousand crosswalks last night, around 400 fire hydrants and about eight to nine hundred bus stops across the city.

Mr. May, if I could ask you about the dangerous conditions for those who are in the house.

Right, it's only the city infrastructure they're even paying to clear, not the private businesses.

What steps were taken this time around to help those who are not in shelter at this

hour?

Oh yeah, yeah, are they going to help the homeless this time?

Probably not. We have hundreds of outreach workers who are traversing every single one of the five boroughs. They were there last time. Not just today, but in the days prior. And what they're doing is connecting homeless New Yorkers with shelter and safe haven. We have warming buses, warming spaces, warming sites. These are the re-purposing of city infrastructure. Okay, but how do they get around when there's more than 10 schools or whether it's quite literally warming buses and mobile clinical vans that are moving throughout this city. We have at least 15 as of this morning. Now,

the importance of this is that homeless New Yorkers, they need to be given a number of different options to come inside. It can't just be a one size fits all approach. So in addition to this, we've also added more than 100 beds to a shelter that we had recently opened up in Upper Manhattan to ensure we have the additional capacity.

But what we're not talking about here is doing what you or I would do if we had a friend who lived on the street. If we had a friend that lived on the street or a family member we wouldn't allow that person to decide to stay there. We wouldn't give them options and say hey man do you want to come inside it's gonna be freezing out there's a snowstorm what do you think and then no no I'm gonna stay like we wouldn't accept that answer we would have an intervention we would get our friends

and our other family members to haul that person indoors and warm them up and take care of them and treat them humanely because they're out in this very dangerous situation that they don't fully understand that's not part of the humanity that we're extending to each other in this city anymore.

Beyond this, what we've also done is ensure that on our link NYC kiosks across New York City, there's a list of where all those warming centers are so that homeless New Yorkers, as well as New Yorkers who see someone in need, have a quick and easy way to access

that.

Quick and easy. Mayor, final question for you. you just as these this storm kind of winds down here over the next couple of hours do you have any timelines as far as when bands will be lifted when mass transit back when can we leave what's locked down timelines you guys are working on question so right now we have the travel ban in effect until 12 p.m. and a large part of that is not just the snow but the combination with 40 to 60 miles per hour and wind gusts and just how hazardous it makes it for driving conditions as well as

For New Yorkers who are outside for any other reason if we have any updates to that we will be sure to share them But at this time it does end at 12 p.m. We have our public transit running on a delay at this time however They're still up and running with our subways and our trains and we are looking in concert with the state and MTA to do everything we can to get everything back up to speed

as soon as possible.

But the real plan that we have is to wait for the weather because the weather is supposed to come in and save us, but I got bad news for you. Lookie here, look at the weather report. Look what we got. We got snow today.

Tomorrow, it's gonna be below freezing. That's the high. Then we get more snow, more snow, more snow. And this ain't letting up.

This message is for Mondami and Mondami only. I know you just started. I'm not putting too much of the blame on you, but if we get a blizzard, please, please clean these streets. So you're telling me that it took an entire month

for the snow to get cleared from the ground in New York City because they did nothing to clean the ground they waited for it to rain right for the snow to clear and thank you that's a night Or tomorrow. We're gonna get another blizzard right we still have snow on the ground. We still have mountains on oh, please We cannot have another freaking snowstorm where New York City does not get clean because I don't know what happened this year New York City didn't clean it. Yeah, I ain't clean it so no all them teenagers that ready to Bay Plaza, put them to clean, please. Ah! Just to reiterate. She's so brilliant.

All the teenagers that are destroying the shopping malls, they've got energy. So just make them clean. Put them out on the streets, give them shovels. Tell them that that is their community service. Oh, wait, we don't have consequences in this city.

There are no consequences for criminal behavior. There are no consequences if Mother Nature doesn't come along and clean up our messes for us. Uh-uh, nope, this is just how we roll. And does this seem like a well-run city to you? These snowstorms prove that the government is incapable of solving anything. If anything, all the government does is cause problems. Government's not a solution to the problems New Yorkers face. New Yorkers need to be able to make their own lives better on their own.

They can't vote for somebody to come along and tax whoever owns this building, thinking that's going to make the lives of the people inside the building better when all that person that owns this place is going to do is raise rents to cover it. And nobody's better off. And the government's not better off. They don't all of a sudden have some magical tool that they didn't have before to create a utopia for everyone to live in and enjoy. No, don't have that at all. And the government's not better off. They don't all of a sudden have some magical tool that they didn't have before to create a utopia for everyone to live in and enjoy. No, don't have that at all.

Never had it. What do you think about that? Thanks for watching. I'll see you in the next video.
