[00:00:00]I want to see the results. Where is the homeless data [clears throat] report? It is over a year late. The point-in-time report in the Biden administration HUD said that we had 770,000 770,000 people in America that were homeless at one given time. And this is with record funding. So, we have record funding, but yet we have an increase in street homelessness.

[00:00:26]>> What is your record? You've had this job for well over a year. I just want to know, did you get the number down? The report is delayed over a year. Over a year.

[00:00:35]>> Can I offer this to you? Yes, but we have no I just don't want to hear about what you don't like about the Biden administration. You're in charge. You have a vision. Let's see it. Let's see the results.

[00:00:45]>> And you know what I'll do? I thank God that I'm in charge so we can do stuff different. Because the plays that were ran before I got here, they failed. I've been here, let me speak if you will. I got here, you said I have been here a little bit over a year. But you all had during the Biden administration 4 years.

[00:01:15]>> A government shutdown helps us to not be able to work. Oh, I get that, but tell me about the litigation.

[00:01:22]>> during the Biden administration, record funding.

[00:01:25]>> god, if you talk about it's like two children saying, "I didn't do it, my brother did it." Stop with the excuses.

[00:01:32]Just explain >> Record funding.

[00:01:35]Record homelessness. We have to do something different.

[00:01:39]>> topics. If after I'm gone If after I'm gone, if it's still record funding and record homelessness, you're going to be saying the same thing.

[00:01:46]But if you don't act your age, it's too late for the families that are suffering in New York today.
