| 0:28.7 | Manhattan University, lead the future. A lot of people all fired up about what we saw outside Gracie |
| 0:35.7 | Mansion on Saturday. People are very upset, very upset with what happened, very upset with the mayor's response. |
| 0:44.0 | And still, still two days later, very little condemnations, apologies, transparency, all that's |
