| 0:10.4 | And we're now going to talk to Laura Engel from News Nation, the cable TV news channel. |
| 0:18.0 | She's in New York City. |
| 0:20.5 | Zoran Mamdani, the incoming mayor, announced today that he is no longer going to be sweeping |
| 0:27.2 | away all the homeless encampments that litter the city. |
| 0:32.4 | Eric Adams, the mayor up until, I guess, this month, he had cleared out 18,000 encampments over the last |
| 0:41.6 | three and a half years. And Mom, Donnie, wants that stopped. Let's go to Laura. Why is this? |
| 0:49.2 | What is he doing? Hey, John. Yeah, this is a big political back and forth tug of war over this issue that has, of course, hung over New York City for so long. And when we talk about the numbers, and we talk about the planning, that's where people are really digging into the data right now because the city spent over $6 million trying to clear out these |

| 1:43.1 | homeless shelters that the homeless can actually benefit from. |
| 1:46.9 | So what Mandani is suggesting that he's not going to, it is not going to continue the sweeps. |
| 1:53.0 | And of course, Eric Adams has said, who's still the mayor, saying, well, we're going to keep going until basically the last second as much as we can because it's it is hard for the people |
| 2:03.5 | of new york to navigate through tents i was actually at luigi mangioni yesterday at the court |
| 2:07.9 | here in downtown and criminal court and to my surprise there were a big row of tents just across the street |
