  Speaker 1: Joining us right now to talk about a very serious
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: issue though, one that should be on the ballot today.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: But I don't know if it is. Is the president
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: of the Sergeant's Benevolent Association of the NYPD, Vincent Vale
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Along Vincent. You know, the the greatest anti poverty program
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: in world history is law and order, and yet we've
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: got people running for office in some of these poor districts,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: places where people are struggling, and all they want to
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: do is bash Israel. I don't really see how that's
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: going to make anyone richer in Harlem and the Bronx.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Well, we're not allowed to invest in any products either. However,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: you know, you know they turn around and these people
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: on primary day, meaning the general people in the in
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the city, they really need to come out. I mean,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: this is this is extremely important time for voting to
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the city. Elections have consequences.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're looking at a number of different races.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: On the state level and the federal level with socialists
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: are running neck and neck, and listen, even with many
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: moderate incumbents, they're running's modern incumbents. These individuals are not
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: pro safety, They don't support men and women in law
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: enforcement and basically, all they want is a revolution to
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: destroy a real life. Yeah.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Other than that, Missus Lincoln, how was a show? I
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: mean it's not great. I mean, there was a time
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in New York, especially in the eighties and nineties, where
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: crime was an absolute bypart is an issue. I mean
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I spent my teen and preteen years in far Rockaway,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Queens on a block that was very diverse. We had Haitians,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: we had Jews, we had Irish, we had Italians, and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: everyone was obsessed with lowering crime. That's all we ever
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: talked about. Are you going out tonight? Who you're walking with?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, there was absolutely no division about this. And
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: now I wonder if I walked the streets to the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Bronx or Harlem and I'd hear some of these people saying,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I want to defund the cops. It's not the people, though,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: is it. It's the politicians. I mean, I can't imagine
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: people want crime.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: It is the politicians. And you know what, would everybody
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you just described I describe as New Yorkers, All right,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: that's right, and they're all out.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: For the best interest of the city and the best
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: entry of the community.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: And the politicians divide everybody. I mean, look at we
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: got we got, We got bail.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Reform, we got fifty A, we got protections.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: For criminals and basically persecutions for the police. Out of politicians,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean you have. You had a socialist,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: a former socialist mayor in de Blasio that appointed a judge,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you know that recently sentenced Eric Duran, one of my sergeants,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: to nine years in prison for doing his job.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Ridiculous, totally ridiculous. Uh, Vincent, this is Fernando Matteo, And
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: first of all, I want to commend you for helping
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Eric the way you know you guys did. You backed
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: him up. And the truth of the matter is Eric
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: should have never been convicted. He should have never been tried.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Eric was out there doing his job, trying to save
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: people in that community from fenton al from heroin, from
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: all kinds of things. And the fact that he tried
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: to stop a criminal by launching a cooler. His intentions
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: weren't to kill the guy. You know, well, he didn't
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: say I'm going to kill the guy with a cooler.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: If he wanted to kill the guy, he would have
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: pulled out his gun and he would have shot him.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: As far as I'm concerned, this was an accident and
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: he should not have gone to trial. He should have
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: not gone to jail. And I would love to have
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Eric on my show this Sunday between six and seven pm,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Fernando Matteo. No excuses, because people need to hear from him,
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: and if his lawyer wants to come in with him,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: let him come in with him. But people need to
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: hear Eric's story because right now he's been judged and
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: he's been convicted by leftist judges, people that have no
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: business being in a court. Judge, Am I correct?
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: No, In fact, we've talked to we've talked about this
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: before on the show. If this case was before me,
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: if I know, if I was a DA, I never
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: would have put the case into the grand jury period.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: But I would have dismissed the case absolutely, and on
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: a conviction, I would have set aside as contrary to
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: the weight of evidence. And I hope on the appeal
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: that's going forward that this is overturned. This is a
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: total miscarriage.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: And as for the judge, this dis goes back to
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: what we're saying here with voting having consequences. You know,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: we have judges DA's and will makers, you know, at
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the city and state level, who was systemically jeopardizing public
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: safety all the time. I mean, you know we have
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: we had these conversations all during during this while the
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: trial was going on.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: No, and I'll tell you what's awful too, talk about
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: the contempt for law enforcement and our brave women and
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: men of blue. You have a parole board. Forty three
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: cop killers have been let out by the parole board.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: These people get one hundred and ninety thousand dollars a year.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: One of the members of the parole board. I just
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: read she married a murderer. I mean, what kind of
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: people are the governors of this state, the democratic governors
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: of this state putting on the parole board that forty
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: three cop killers are let on parole, and then the
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: legislature wants to do this ridiculous thing, have a mandatory
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: review at fifty five based on age, so that every
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: year that can have an annual hearing every two years,
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: in annual hearing once again to relitigate the sentence and
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: making the families go through the trauma again.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: What are your.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Thoughts, Listen, I mean, I agree with you one hundred percent.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: There is no accountability on the other end, you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and every time something happens that that that's wrongdoing on
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: their part with whatever whatever laws that they passed or
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: whatever judgment that they render, they point to the police
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and they make the police escapegoats. And we all know
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: every we all know that the economy, the police, the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: economy all go hand in hand, as do the business
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: people in this in this city. That's what makes the
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: city run, not an ideology, not some not some democratic
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: socialists out there or progressive judge. That feels as if
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: you know that they have to do good by by
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: what their society, society is beliefs are. I mean, we
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: have a we have a rule of law in this
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: country for a reason. Is it's two hundred and fifty
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: years that has kept us safe. All of a sudden,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: now they want to rip it all apart. I mean, listen,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: voting has consequences. If you vote for one side and
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you think it's the it's the the the greatest thing
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: in the world, or the pie in the sky, you're
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: gonna wind up finding out that it really wasn't that,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and it was something disgusting you had put in front
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: of you at your table, and by that time, it's
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: too late.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you. You know, after a judge
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: makes a decision, uh, to convict a hard working NYPD
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: sergeant over a guy that had probably been involved in
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: drug dealing and had been arrested numerous times, it just
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: makes no sense, you know, it may just makes no Listen, our,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: I don't understand why we are defending criminals. You know
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: why we are raising this kid, Carmelo Anthony raised in Texas,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: raised close to a million dollars because he stopped the
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: kid to death. I mean, it's it's and.
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: They made him a cultural.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: It's not just minorities like this is for people think like, oh,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: this is about minorities and people trying to get payback.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Luigi Mangioni is a rich, rich white kid from from
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the suburbs of Baltimore. And yet he's also so that
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: they're cheering on crime, aren't they, Vincent Valan.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they send the wrong message to everybody. You know,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you you put these statements out there, you know, you
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: give people a voice that really should not be on television.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: You give them press passes to go out there, and
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and who aren't really reporters, you know, who are really
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: they some of them are some of them are mentally ill.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: And you put these all of a sudden, we we've
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: we've we've made these people idols. And I don't.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Understand, you know, well, you know, I don't teach my kids.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: That Vince we made I made a big point of
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: it last I told the President. I told many other
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: people that fact is that Nora case. All those people
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: were paid actors, and maybe they were paid one hundred
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: thousand dollars. Between all of them are two hundred thousand dollars,
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: but they got millions and millions of dollars of advertising
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: because the national media, well you know what they did.
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: They publicized it around the country, all.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Right, and this is a Newark. And now that the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: news media isn't covering the New York and the Newark
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: story as much at Delaney Hall. And I know this
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: is out of the jurisdiction of NYPD, but I'm sure
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you can comment on it. It's no longer getting that, it's
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: no longer getting much traction. They're not showing up every
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: day and biting the ice officers and the whole thing
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: because it's not on the news every night.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: You know what it is, Papers don't sell. The media
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: doesn't sell if they don't create controversy. And the way
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: they create controversies by defending criminals, because defending of victim
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: isn't popular anymore, you know, Defending middals, you know, create
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: headlines and raising money. Criminals raise more money than victims
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: these days.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Last word to you, Vincent Valalon.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: What we're doing, what we're seeing today, especially with some
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: of these these hand pick candidates from from certain parties. Uh,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: they are enabling individuals to come up. You know what
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: we what we just talked about, they they are enabling
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: these people.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, what they're doing
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: is they're they're victimizing the victims over and over again.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Is that not what we're not supposed to do. You know,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: we're supposed to protect the victims of crimes. You know, listen,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: as cops, we we take a beat and every single
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: day we get we get up the next day, we
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: go to work. The victims are the ones of these crimes,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: are the ones who actually get victimized over and over again.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: And it's got to stop. People need to look at.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: This when they go to the back, when they go
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: to the ballot.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Box, and realize that these so these democratic socialists do
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: not have your best interest in mind. Uh you know,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: they want to use your money, not theirs, but they
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: want to enrich themselves. On what's going on.
