It's a combination of things. We're facing, after COVID, we're dealing with a severe mental health issue just throughout the entire country. But specifically here in New York, we have a substantial number of chronically absent young people who were just traumatized from COVID and other things. And they just stopped coming to school.

If I had $200 million that I can go out and go find those young people and place them back on the correct course, I'm preventing the long-term problem. If you don't educate, you're going to incarcerate. That's the common denominator in all of our prisons, the lack of education.

I could have put hundreds of millions of dollars in what I'm doing around dyslexia screening and other learning disabilities. So those six point five million dollars that I didn't put into housing, I did not put into senior care. We get ready to excuse medical debt for New Yorkers that are dealing with severe medical debt.

All of these dollars could have gone into dealing with the long term fixes that we were projecting to correct. And did you tell the White House that? Over and over again. Over and over again. The impact of what these dollars- And they didn't seem to care at all. It appears to me that there was a bigger focus on the national election and not what it was doing to the cities.

And we started to build a coalition of other mayors because when I was standing alone talking about this, it appears as though that, well, Eric, why are you complaining and no one else is complaining? And then other mayors started to see what was happening in their cities. And I started meeting with the mayor of Chicago and Denver and other mayors and said, we have to be uniform around this issue.

Again, I think they use the terminology, you are not being a good Democrat. I think that was their philosophy, that I was supposed to silently watch what happens to this city. And I love this city. This is a city that I gave my life to protect. And I was watching the erosion. We were getting almost 8,000 migrants and asylum seekers a week, 16,000 every two weeks.

And we were being compelled by the Legal Aid Society to find them housing within a short period of time until we had to go back to court and fight that this humanitarian crisis is not what is normally someone has the right to have shelter within the city. And they were coming in 1, 2, 3 a.m. in the morning. It was a constant overturn.
