This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Brian night, three of the Dnc
officially on the books.
What are the potential voters
saying about it?
Ainsley Fox amp friends, weekend
co host will Kaine hit the
streets of New York City and he
joins us now,
hey will? What did you find
out?
Will hey good morning
Ainsley
as measures as New Yorkers,
slowly start to come out of
their homes and Armtsz to the AP?
Did they like and what did they
think of their city? At this
point,
I think the answers were
interesting.
Listen
are you watching the
Democratic national convention?
Yes,
I think its fabulous.
Are you watching the Dnc?
Oh, yes! Definitely.
What do you think of the
format
it takes some getting used
to
and you find yourself watch for
a while and might drift off
gives intimacy to the process
that you wouldnt normally get
from an entire auditorium?
Are you watching the Dnc
I caught a few minutes of it
on Tv
Todd? What did you think of it?
So far,
not much of a message being
said
beat up on Trump a lot it
didnt catch. My attention
kind of boring,
will whats the big issue for
you in the election.
Restoring functionality to
our country
biggest issue right now is
the virus
safety
being able to run your business
safely?
Will do you feel safe in New
York city?
No,
I just put grates on my windows.
Yesterday
I lived in this neighborhood
close sixty years and just had to
put metal grates on my windows.
We are right back where we
started. You know thirty years ago
will are you supporting Biden
or Trump
Biden
Biden,
support Trump on this one
definitely Biden.
Whoever helps me out the most
lets put it that way.
So, as you can see, new Yorkers
were somewhat divided on who
they support. At this point,
you know whats, fascinating
guys. Anybody who was from New
York seemed to be supporting
Biden and making allowances for
the virtual convention.
Anybody who was from out of town
or a business owner well, they
were leaning more towards Trump
or some sense of normalcy back
in their city, which they are
adapting to, and convincing
themselves is still in good
shape. Brian
Brian, there is a lot of things
going on in make cities from
Portland to Chicago, to
Albuquerque, New Mexico, to
Philadelphia and New York, of
course,
and its all democratic mayors.
There is a republican mayor that
joined us two hours ago and is
reacting to the law and
disorder.
Listen
the last time this city was
like this.
The last time this city had
riots and crime. At this level
we had a democratic mayor and
all during the period of time
we had thirty years of massive
crime.
So if this sets in its not
going to end,
we need a change in leadership,
a change in policy.
These things are happening in
these cities because the
Democrats have pro criminal
anti police policies.
The reason its happening is not
Donald Trump
Donald Trump didnt release.
Eight thousand people from prison
De Blasio did
Brian will. They are blaming
Donald Trump, the mayor and the
governor.
You know Brian whats
interesting. Is I talk to people
on the street? I always ask the
question: do you feel safe in New
York today
and almost all of them say they
do?
But what I find that reveals is
new Yorkers can adapt to
anything.
They can tell themselves its
okay, no matter whats, going on
around them,
but safety.
Much like sizzles is hard to
build an easy to tear down
its often just a thin layer on
top of our lives,
and I think, as I walk around New
York and I live in New York,
what you find is that sense of
insecurity
that unsafe feeling is just a
few inches below the surface.
Yes, oh its so charming. We are
eating in a lane of traffic now
just like the old days,
but you can get this sense in
the air this isnt New York of
six months ago.
There is an insecurity not far
below the surface
Steve. When did we eat in the
streets? Will
Brian we are doing it again,
Ainsley? What he is talking
about is explain it. Will
everybody in New York its so
charming to sit on the sidewalk
and have outdoor dining, where
you are this far from the curb
all thats changed now you are
this far over the curb Steve.
You are sitting in a lane of
traffic.
Steve sidewalk dining its the
street dining thats, the new
thing
Ainsley, some people are up on
the sidewalk and some people are
in that one lane.
You are literally in traffic
Ainsley. They usually put a
barricade around it with
flowers,
Steve you mention, the people
from New York seem to be for
Biden, and people out of town
seem to be more for Trump. There
are no out of towners.
There is no tourism
Brian. Nothing to see here.
Steve few people are coming to
work, thats it
thats. True.
Did I find to manage to find a
few tourists
brave souls willing to come to
New York?
Do you know what I found Steve
the thing thats an mating,
anybody for Biden. I asked them
all whats the biggest issue for
you in this election.
Almost to a person, the answer
was getting Donald Trump out.
The energy is not behind Biden.
The energy is behind getting
trump out of office.
Steve will how many of those
tourists you met wanted to bit
twenty dollars Rolex wondering where that
guy was.
I dont know what their
shopping habits were,
how much disposable income they
H. I did have trouble with the
guy who had the Pittsburgh
Steelers Jersey on.
