4:33:50
I'm here to to be opposite to the gang database abolition bill, and I'm gonna explain why.
4:33:55
It's because these bills benefit nothing but the corrupt nonprofits.
4:34:00
It benefits these nonprofits that just want the money from what they spend in these the gang database.
4:34:06
I spoke about it before.
4:34:07
I know this bill is about this was, like, the last time when I was in the rain testifying the rain in Brooklyn.
4:34:13
Like I said, this is none but a redone a redo of the last bill that he did.
4:34:18
Okay.
4:34:19
You can't the gang database bill is controversial, so let's now call it, criminal organizations.
4:34:24
Now what's next?
4:34:25
A criminal criminal org is this it just you're just redoing bills just to to say, like, well, we get this one bill done.
4:34:33
We'll we'll give rid of the dang database.
4:34:35
Look.
4:34:36

4:34:36
Like I said, Becky Paldino hit it on the head and said that, look.
4:34:39
There's a criminal micro problem problem in the city Of New York, and, we need this, we need this for the for the criminal, for the the criminal migrants in the city.
4:34:49
But I wanna give a a shout out to Natasha Williams about what she said about the about the explorer situation that, look.
4:34:55
Yeah.
4:34:56
There's a gang problem in the city.
4:34:57
There's a lot of bad people in the city, that needs their help and the resources, but she was correct about the explorer program with when it comes to the youth outreach where they don't select the bad kids.
4:35:08
They don't select the criminal crock, which means the good kids.
4:35:11
Like, I understand you we wanna cure violence in the city of New York.
4:35:14
We wanna cure violence everywhere.
4:35:15
But how are we gonna cure violence when how are we gonna cure violence when you're only picking the good people?
4:35:19
That's that's the new thing.
4:35:20
It's like having a thorn on your on your, on your nail, like a thorn on your your tip of your finger, and you need to get it pulled pulled out.
4:35:28
And the only way you get pulled out is by using your finger or getting, a prick or, like, a like, a tweezer and taking the thorn out your finger.
4:35:34
At the same time, you post and you're saying, let's put water on it.
4:35:38
You know what mean?
4:35:38
It's just stupid.
4:35:39
It's counterproductive.
4:35:40
Well, she's right about that.
4:35:41
Natasha Williams is correct about the whole explore situation that needs to be fixed.
4:35:45
You need to start recruiting all the bad kids and put them in focus and
