The police have been devalued, and today people don't even want to apply to be police officers. That must change. And our subway system, it was a visionary achievement, demonstrating New York at its best. They began construction in 1900 and in just four years built a system that went from City hall to 145th street in Manhattan, with 28 stops, including Grand Central and Times Square. Remarkable, really. Government worked and the subways were safe. But today, people stand with their backs against the walls, away from the tracks and away from each other. (06:12–06:27)
