New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio takes calls from listeners and discusses this week in NYC, including today's deadline to secure NYCHA funding from the federal government, criminal justice reform, and working with the far Left progressives.

"The fact is not just me going in, it's HUD, it's the US attorney's office, NYCHA & the city. All of us saying that we're deep in discussion trying to find a constructive solution and that we're asking the judge for an opportunity to continue that," @NYCMayor tells @BrianLehrer

Matt Diaz, student at Bronx Academy of Letters, is really pressing de Blasio on fact that black/Latino students are less likely to have access to sports teams.

BdB: "Not satisfied" with status quo

Matt: "Do you have a plan?"

"Can someone tell me when more criminal justice reform happened in New York City?.... I think it’s absolutely unfair to miss the changes," says @NYCMayor on his reaction to the Jazmine Headley arrest. Says it was unacceptable and won't happen again.
