[inaudible] >> we have so many problems to solve. just the other day, for example, we were trying to figure out how do we get even a better preparation in our neighborhoods for the expected earthquake disaster we are having in the city and along comes a whole bevy of coming in this economy that affects the management and the host company that is start ing in san francisco that want to plan with us and not wait for a disaster to hit and then find out that we could have accessed many people. that is helpful for the mayor to search for more partners and get ready and be more excited about recovery. when you look at what happened in new orleans and all the victims of tornados. they always tell you they could have been more ready for this had they engaged people

and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water is collected and stored in 19 reservoirs, which can hold more than a year's supply -- over 580 billion gallons of water. almost all of the system is fed by gravity, without the use of energy-consuming pumps. valves open to regulate the flow into the 85-mile-long delaware aqueduct -- the longest tunnel in the world. at hillview reservoir... the water is partitioned into another giant tunnel system. where it travels deep below manhattan. the pressure built u

new york is the most densely populated city in the u.s. and over 40 million tourists visit the city every year. the 1.3 billion gallons of water required every day are delivered by a system of extraordinary scale and complex engineering. man: water is essential to the economic viability of new york city. reliable infrastructure and reliable delivery of water is a must. you have to reinvest in the infrastructure every single minute to keep it current. hurwitz: we have the stock exchange, we have the united nations -- failure can have a dramatic impact on the nation, and even internationally. so there's a really keen awareness that you always have to be fixing the system. things corrode, they rust. they get to where you turn them on and nothing happens. but it is so totally used in every nook and cranny, that making any accommodation to shut it down, to do something to it, is very difficult. narrator: two massive underground tunnels, called simply tunnel 1 and tunnel 2, provide most of the city's water supply. they run hundreds of feet below

many of them stay in new york city and many of them the ones who stayed in new york city worked their way down to the village. one of the reasons was the new school was in the village. the new school had very aggressive policy hiring these folks. in new york city, not just at the new school but in city and village, let's say by 1940, salvadore dali, pete mondiran, hannah arent. claude straus and a whole bump of other people. a lot were in fact on the faculty of the new school. if you were on the g.i. bill at the end. war and you could go to the new school for free for certain amount of time, you could go through for, like hannah arent or claude straus or wh being your teacher and really forefree. part think from their influence, not just from their influence, partly through their influence from world war ii, through the 50s and 60s and lower east side, what became known as the east village close through a remarkable explosion of artistic and creative activity. if that was the golden era in the 1913 this is the greenwich village renaissance and it's huge. the avant-garde in america is

trying to make new york city, you know, help new york city grow. that's another good thing. policies i'd like to change, i think if you look, as i said, first at stop and frisk and the way that's been used. that's probably one of the things you want to do first. education policy that is failing our children. focussed on standardized testing as opposed to comprehension and critical thinking within our schools. that's another. and just really -- a real focus to ining to build affordable housing in new york city. if we don't do that, people are going to continue to be priced out of their neighborhoods. so i would say that there are a number of policies that the mayor has either not focussed on. bring my own focus to that and create new york city as a city of all five boroughs again as opposed to certain areas being favored. >> we talk a lot about stop and frisk. give you pause on the idea of ray kelly being the next director of homeland security if obama does nominate him? >> i think all of that has to be taken into account. right now, that's just speculation. the one thing tha

scott stringer, running for new york city comptroller here in new york city. and we'll hear from governor spitzer tomorrow morning on "squawk box," 8:30 a.m. eastern time here on cnbc. >>> let's send it back to hq. josh lipton now has a quick "market flash." >> reporter: we just got a note here from citigroup, which we want to share with you. analysts there initiating coverage of the internet sector, telling their clients they are bullish on industry fundamentals. they say that the internet industry is still in the early innings of its growth cycle. their top picks in order, google, amazon, yahoo! ebay and aol. by the way, the analysts here, mark may, will be on "fast money," so tune in for that tonight. >> josh lipton, thank you, sir. >>> soft spongecake, creamy vanilla filling, and several urban legends built around -- >> where are you going? >> doesn't it speak for itself? >> we're talking about one thing, of course. twinkies. they hit the store shelves on monday. when we come back, the battle to bring the treat back to the shelves has not been without its

crime is down in new york city. much of that has to do with ray kelly and his brass tacks. >> crime is down in new york city. crime has been on the decline for the last 20 years, beginning interestingly enough during the last two years when ray kelly was police commissioner who at that time embraced community policing and began this dramatic decline in crime opinion there's a 90% error rate in the stop and frisk program. no corporation in america would tolerate such an error rate. you can't argue based on the numbers that it has an effect on the decrease in crime in new york city. and so i don't think there's any factually based argument or any case to make. he should get credit as the mayor should for the continued decline in crime, but these violations of civil rights and civil liberties that he's presided over, both as it relates to the muslim surveillance program and the stop and frisk program cannot be excused. >> a few details about that surveillance program of area muslims, in one report an undercover officer

. >> it's been a week's worth of 90 plus heat in the new york city area. heat indices approach 100 this afternoon. but many residents are taking it in stride. >> i told myself i'm not going to complain about the heat because of the cold winters. >> reporter: is the heat's coming from a large dome of high pressure in the upper atmosphere that's located over the ohio valley, great lakes and northeast and has made the playground equipment in quincy, illinois, unbarely hot. >> mid to upper 170s. >> vendors at the farmer's market in devin port, iowa have been forced to put produce on rice. >> i just pick it fresh and bring it, keep it cool as i can. >> while in detroit it was back in the 90s and bad timing for the air conditioning to break down at a high rise apartment building. >> i bet it's 100 degrees in this apartment. >> chris clackham, nbc news. >> and for more on the weather, we're joined by bill karins. what's in store for the weekend? >> a slow cooldown. these numbers and this heat wave, it's just yuck. everyone's saying it depends on your opinion. you

york city. he goes to the dakota shortly before noon and joins a small group of fans hovering near the entrance. chapman will spend the next two days waiting for john lennon. >> who was mark david chapman? >> on dedecember 8th, 1980, mark david chapman was a very confused person and literally living inside of a paperback novel, j.d. salinger's "the catcher and the rye" and between taking a taxi back and forth to hawaii and back and forth between killing an icon. >> and then on the morning of december 8th, he calls his wife. then he takes out the bible from his suitcase and takes out some paper and writes "the gospel according to john." and then at 8:00 a.m., he heads back to the dakota. >> i had a premonition that this is the last time i would leave my hotel room. and i had not seen him up to that point and i was not even sure that he was in the building. i left the hotel room, and i bought ap copy of "the catcher and the rye" and i wrote underneath the holdman, this is my statement. >> paul gor

ray kelly, new york city police commissioner. tell us how stop, question and frisk works and why you do it? >> it's a practice that is integral to policing in america. police officers are authorized by statute and also validated by supreme court decision in 1968. they are authorized to stop and question someone who is a reasonably believed has committed is committing or is about to commit a crime. it is fundamental to policing that officers are given the right to inquire as to what is going on. people lump stop, question and frisk. in new york city half the stops result in the frisk. what is a frisk? it is a limited pat down to give the officer some sense of safety, looking for something that could endanger the officer. only 9% of the stops result in a full-blown search. >> paul: what about those people that say, i think the figure is 52% of the stops is actually african-americans. this is tenant contaminant to racial profiling, how do you, tantamount to racial patrolling? >> we had the rand corporation take a look at the issue.

this is the dignity of new york city hall that must be preserved. i heard rudy giuliani cited today as one of the great oral class mayors of new york, along with bloomberg, whose shoes anthony weiner can't fill. >> i think it's partly the technological change. we have crossed a frontier now. if lyndon johnson could have done this, john f. kennedy could have done this, believe me, he said in the biography, the parts of the body that were private were never private when they were lyndon johnson's. it's a generational change. the other thing may be that there are not republicans in the story. if you had conservative republicans like baying for anthony weiner's head, with the possibility they could depose him as with bill clinton, a partisan instinct might kick in, but they're not part of the scene here, so i think that's why the media in some ways is playing that role. >> i don't care about the republican side of this kind of world, there isn't really a republican side. >> that's the point. >> what fascinates me is hearing liberals who defended bill cl

>>> with new york city's murder rate on rack to hit new lows racial profiling persists. new york city police commissioner ray kelly is here to answer his critics. president obama pivots to the economy again. what's behind the move and what does it say about his record so far? labor leaders cry foul after the motor city file for bankruptcy. does detroit deserve a bailout? could your city be next? welcome to "the journal editorial report." i'm paul gigot. good news from the big apple where so far in 2013 murders are down almost 30% from last year's all-time low. the city has seen its tiest shootings in two decades. despite the progress, new york city police department has come under fire for its stop, question and frisk poll schi opponents say it is tantamount to racial profiling. last month the city council passed two bills that could restrain the controversial program. my guest this week says will be a setback for the city. new york police commissioner ray kelly here. thank you for being here. >> good morning. good to be with you. >> tell us how stop, question and frisk

market wal-mart has been trying to push its way into new york city for years and luckily we've managed to keep them out remember that wal-mart does not add to the community's wealth wal-mart adds to its own profits its own wealth the wealth of the board of directors in the walton family so let's not let's not make straw man arguments about wal-mart and the market if there is no. way that. wal-mart is dominating the market it is not on an equal footing with their business in egypt so i say that somehow the socialist why this ok the socialist claptrap listen to this that's b.s. yeah let me just tell you why that's b.s. because you are so you're saying that the workers are being hard but you're forgetting the consumers my friend you say that wal-mart does not enrich their communities but people come into walmart and they buy things at low prices and they are in rich you're trying to say that the people who are working there are getting screwed but you're forgetting that the consumers are getting great prices so there's a much larger community of people who go so you can sanctions are of s

about the governance of new york city. on that note i want to ask you about some of the stuff bill deblasio has brought. the share of new york city income going to the top percent spiked dramatically. in 2002 the top 1% in new york city earned 27% by total income. by last year, they earned 39% of total income. that is worrisome to people who want to see an equitable society. >> it is more than worrisome. now look, this is a national problem but new york has it tremendously also as a problem. it is an enormous issue. but part of running for mayor and just being mayor isn't about identifying the problem. that's really important and talking about it. it is about getting things done to try to solve that problem. so one of the things you need to do to address income inequality is do everything you can to create and sustain good jobs. i passed a living wage and a prevailing wage law that raised salaries of workers who get paid or are associated with city dollars. i working with my colleagues brought more manufacturing and high-t
