So Jane you're in New York City. I'm in the Big Apple home of corruption.

I am the Big Apple looks like a rotten apple right now.

Have you, has anybody tried to bribe you to give any money to a campaign?

Not yet, but you know what to me is always the surprise of these bribe stories, politician

bribe stories, is that the stakes are so cheesy a lot of the time.

I mean it's not that I wouldn't like to go to Turkey and fly first class.

I mean that sounds good but but really would you ruin your entire reputation and

throw away your public job for a cheap ticket now I was set you know remember a man is

innocent till proven guilty but one thing that's funny is that one of the things you keep hearing today is people in Chicago saying,

it's just so nice that it's not us for once having a public official on trial.

The fireworks are going off in Rhode Island in New Jersey as well.

I have to say, watching how this thing has taken down the entire top level of all of the offices in the New York mayoral world.

I mean, seeing the police department, the fire department, the education department,

God knows, you know, well, next it's the sanitation department.

Will anybody be left?

Jan, if you've ever wanted to be Police Commissioner, this is your shot. God.
