Tim raises concerns about Democratic-run cities, bail reform, and public safety, and Sanders defends Zohran Mamdani while acknowledging serious crime and homelessness problems nationwide.
- Democratic-run cities are perceived as incompetent on public safety, with tent cities, drug use, and crime driving businesses away.
- Tim expresses concern that Mamdani's defunding police approach could increase NYC crime by deploying untrained non-police responders.
- Bernie Sanders is supporting Mamdani and will do a rally for him, calling him a very smart and serious person.
- Sanders says Mamdani is cognizant of both crime and homelessness issues, acknowledging 800,000 homeless people and serious drug problems nationwide.
- Do you actually need police responding to overdoses or mental health breakdowns, or should other trained professionals handle those calls?
