  Speaker 1: in congratulating on this amazing honor you received last night.

  Speaker 2: Said I love you and you're a brilliant broadcaster. I mean,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: everyone knows you're the greatest on the planet. The moose things.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I took your daughter like she was on my arm.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: No, no, stop that now, don't be stetty. I haven't
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: seen her yet today, but I imagine she had a
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: great time last night. Set the scene for me. What
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: was that like last night?
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: So the king had a criminal bar. It's most bar
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: associations are like only for prosecutors, are only for defense attorneys,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: are only for judges. But this one is all of it.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: So here's the thing said, is that it's people who
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: are normally adversaries or people who are normally performing in
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: front of a judge or whatever. Everyone for two bold
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: guys kind of lets their hair down and we just
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: we just all hang out as friends. And that's kind
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: of rare. And the bar so, this particular pardsu seation
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: has been around since nineteen thirty four and every year
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: we just you haven't dinner. Giondo's, as you know, is
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: a beautiful spot right under the Williamsburg Bridge. To your left,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: you see the Freedom Tower, to your right, you see
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the Empire State Building. And I will tell you this
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: sid was all humility. The venue holds two hundred and
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: seventy five people and there was a little bit of
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: a mess up because three hundred and fifty people are
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: so what they did was the extended the cocktail hour
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: for two hours, so that there were some people who
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: could only stay for the cocktail hour. And it was
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: coming together of really the best in the brightest of
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: New York, the New York legal community. And you know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: my dad was the oldest one there, almost eighty eight.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: And I'm not exaggerating, Ava, your daughter was the youngest
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: one there. I believe, twenty one.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Twenty two. She just turned twenty two April.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: She did just turned twenty two. So all right, well
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: she's been with me for like nine months, so in
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: my mind she's twenty one, okay, twenty one.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: By by the way, by the way, by the way,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: take in my mind, she's four. To see you know, okay,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: this is all it's all weird for me to see
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: my daughter all dressed up and working alongside thanks to you,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: one of the great attorneys, not just in New York
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: but around the country. And you know, you're involving her
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: in some pretty big cases which I don't chare with
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: people don't like. Yeah, well, you know, you know, your
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: buddy Vince Vaalalan came on the air a couple of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: days ago, the great president of the SBA, Union. He
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: kind of gave it away that, hey, congratulations Ava, that
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: she may be doing something on this Eric do Ran case.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: He gave that away. I didn't say anything. I didn't
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: even know about it. She never tells me anything she
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: does in your office. Just so you know, never well,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you know she does.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: You know she tells me because I heard Vince the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: other day talking and he name dropped her. And so
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: your daughter ever comes to the office the andy go go.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Did you hear I go? Thehead of the SBA drop
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: j name She was Arthur. I'm gonna have to tell you,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I don't listen to my father on the radio with him.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: She was forced to listen a couple of days ago
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: because Danielle does listen, and Dan Yell and her went
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to work together in the city. She was forced to listen,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and no complaints. I'm sure she complained to her mother.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: But you know, talking about Eric Durand it's interesting because
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I had Bruce Blateman on this show I don't know
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: about a month, not a couple of weeks ago, and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: he made the declaration here before he went public on
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Long Island that when he wins, when he beats Kathy Honkel,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: he's going to part in Eric Duran. Now, what I'm
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: seeing Arthur Wright Donald all over the internet, every social
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: media site is they're not waiting for Bruce. There is
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of pressure right now on Governor Kathy
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Honkel to part in your guy, Eric Duran, Are you
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: seeing that?
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Absolutely? A lot of news atletes and just like people
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: on the street, you know, he was interesting, said the
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: day that we got him out, which was two weeks
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: ago today, right, I had to go to a wink
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: all the way up in like northern Rockland County, and
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I was with people in the truck in my job,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: in my car, and I'm driving up and we were
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: a little late. They're like, all right, you know, you're
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: going really fast. They go, what happens when you get
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: pulled over? I go, I just told the cap hey,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: we just got Sergeant Tread out of jail. What are
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: you gonna do? Give me a ticket?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: No, that doesn't work. No, no, no, Clearly you don't listen
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to this program because, according to Emily Lipstein, who works
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: at street Blogs New York City, if you get pulled
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: over and the officer here's mine shown on in the car,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you can get away with murder.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: That's what she said. It's just like it seems like
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: your best friend, President Trump. He says, he gets chooged
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: someone on Frost Avenue and he can get away with
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: So Look, there is a sense of right and wrong
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: still that remains in our society, which is a beautiful thing.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: And people now know about Eric Dritt. Here's the weird part.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Said when it happened, he got a little publicity. When
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: he went to trial, he got very little. He got
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: very little publicity. When he got convicted, he got very
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: little publicity. But when he got sentenced to three to nine,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: which people thought, I mean, he's got to do a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: minimum of three as a jail for a guy who
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: basically saved two, three or four lives, we'll never know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: because unfortunately one life was lost. He got a ton
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: of publicity. And when he got out on bail penning appeal,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: he got a ton of publicity. Look, we need people,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: we need law enforcements to obviously do the best they can,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to be smart. There's always going to be a bad
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: apple in the cart. But right around the corner from
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: when your daughter and I work, when I see right
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: around the corner, I mean as close as you want
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: to Smith Lensky, like forty yards there's that Van's sneaker store.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: And the day before before yesterday, there was some big
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: there was like it was an explosion of people to
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: get these new sneakers, and it got out of control.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: They were trying to break windows. And seriously, there's your
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: beautiful twenty two year old daughter trying to get to
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: the office, you know, with a cup of coffee in
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: their hand. And there's like forty guys going at their own,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: men going crazy, and God bless the men and women
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: at the NYPD. We have to make these split second
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: decisions over and over and over. You know, you host
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: a radio show, you have to make a split the
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: second decision. Do I see this? Do I see that?
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: If you see the wrong thing, Margot katu Medidis comes inside,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: there's sid You should have said that.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: It's good about Michael Kotton Mactiti. How about the mayor
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: and the attorney general.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: If a cop, If a cop does the wrong thing
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: in their job, you know you and I do the
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: wrong thing, you know job we get in trouble to cop.
