Right now, weve got Nbcs Chuck Todd live from washington, d. C. With a preview. Good to see you, todd chuck, im sorry. Thats all right. Were talking about the race obviously between hillary and bernie is heating up this week. Why is it that you think that the tensions are running so high on the democratic side . I think its because both campaigns are acknowledging how important new york is to their the future of their nomination fights. Clinton by Single Digits or low double digits, it ends it. It cuts off a realistic path to Sanders Sanders pulls the upset, it it would be the first time he beat her in a state that she should have been heavily favored to win. So thats why i think its so important to both of them and because of that, theres a bit of urgency of tension. Lot of things could be changing very soon on the republican side weve got donald trump, he just hired a new Campaign Consultant the last couple of days. Is that a sign of disarray within his campaign. Its an acknowledgment by donald trump that he was losing part two of the republican battle. Part of what he did, get out a lead. He got it. But part of winning the nomination is an insider game. Hes getting trounced on the insider game weekend after weekend after weekend. You have conventions where they elect the actual individual nd trumps folks are getting outorganized by ted cruz. Trump is acknowledging this, bringing in somebody. Well find out in a couple of weeks if this new person, paul guest will be able to change things. He says he will. We shall see. I dont know if you saw the talk about the boston globe today. How do you think that will play out with voters . You know, look, massachusetts already voted number one. I think thats if youre looking to influence voters, thats done. Well see. I think the folks that are already never trump are probably already there. I dont know if an editorial by the boston globe pushes somebody over the line on this front. But its certainly going to spark a conversation about the role of media as well. This was a parody that you would have expected more out of an onion newspaper than the boston globe it was quite unusual. Thank you, chuck, well see you in a few minutes for meet the press coming up at 10 30 a. M. After today in new york. The corruption investigation into the nypd is expanding now ing activities.

Thank you, christopher. Now to an iteam exclusive. Who can forget that frightening scene in february when that cranes boom plummeted in the sky in a deadly collapse. You recall we had the high winds earlier in the week. That prompted the city to order all crane operators to stop what they were doing and secure their equipment. Since 2008, there have been five crane collapse this is new york city. Many of them deadly, unfortunately. Killing ten people in all. This morning, the iteams peisze cheng gives us a look at cranes are safe. Im here to check your license. Check the operation of the cranes. The iteam goss an exclusive look at what a crane inspection entails. Hes looking at a crawler crane at hudson yards. Ee make sure they stop in a certain position where theyre supposed to stop, the rotation of his cab, make sure it matches the charts. Mayor de blasio called for all cranes to be inspected after the deadly crane collapse in tribeca. There are 29 of them operating citywide. Nearly 400 are registered. Generally, cranes are supposed to be inspected annually. But the department of buildings says that could amount to several times a year. Any time a crane is reconfigured or moved, an inspector must be sent out to check it out. This crawler crane is similar to the one that tipped over in tribeca, just shorter. Hes dropping it really quick. Its the video that still the towering crane wobbles as its being lowered and then it tips. Its 565foot boom crashes to the ground, crushing cars, killing a pedestrian and injuring three others. Have a highrise crane collapsed a total of three blocks. David wichs was a harvard educated finance whiz. He was killed on impact. Here that night, the wind was ramping up. Bruce and his neighbors were wary of the massive crane before it crashed. He says he saw the crane move but there were no construction workers nearby. He went home and the rest we all know too well. Through a records request, the iteam learned there were 124 violations issued to crane operators last yier year. Among them, dee deck fif hoisting equipment, failing to comply with the commissioners order. Blasio first called for all crawler cranes to stop operating once there is a forecast for wind speeds of 20 miles per hour. But a backlash from the Construction Industry led the mayor to return to the original wind speed of 30 miles per hour. Its more of a reaction. The more political than anything else. Tom b. A. R. T. A crane inspector believes lowering wind speeds wont increase safety but what will make a difference is requiring crane or lift supervisors to be trained as well as crane operators. I would like to see the superintendents going to school to take these courses to know how to read the chart and understand the regulations. You would eliminate a lot of these accidents. Since 2010, new york has fined and disciplined many crane license of many of them. With only seven crane inspectors, its a tall task. It doesnt feel like were being protected. Crane safety is on her mind. She lives near several Construction Projects and cranes. While she understands construction is a way of life in new york city, she wonders if there are too many projects too close to one another. Youre sort of forced to walk through the belly of the beast and thats scary. Were new yorkers, were used to being tough and dealing with situations that can be a little threatening. But you dont really want do it every day as part of your life. Reporter the city is still investigating the cause of februarys collapse. Meanwhile, the crane operator who was implicated in that collapse, hes still allowed to work pending the outcome of the investigation. Reporting from the west side, peisze cheng, news 4 new york. Coming up nix, the political parodies accompanying the intense push ahead of new yorks primary. Youre watching today in new for regulating wall street.
