You already made the mistake defunding the police, which I had a major argument about under de Blasio. He wanted to defund the police. That was the whole political movement. That's what the socialists wanted to do. I added police at the MTA to compensate for him defunding the police. Now they've taken defund to dismantle the police and send out a social worker. When somebody's coming through the window at night and I dial 911, I don't want a social worker to show up and counsel the person who's trying to rob me. (24:40–24:46)
