SPEAKER_00: A spokesman for the NYPD confirmed the transfer of Brooklyn police captain after a video of him criticizing Mayor Zorhan Mandami and Democrats went viral.
0:08
SPEAKER_00: Captain James Wilson was caught on camera during anti-immigration customs informant protest outside of Whitecough Heights Medical Hospital.
0:16
SPEAKER_00: Wilson was seen calling Mandami an embarrassment and total nonsense.
0:20
SPEAKER_00: The NYPD said it transferred Wilson on Monday from the 9-4 precinct in Brooklyn to the communications center at the 911 Call Center of the Bronx.
0:27
SPEAKER_00: Its spokesperson said an on-duty officer is prohibited from publicly expressing personal views about a political party.
0:34
SPEAKER_00: Marik Bartolis, your thoughts.
0:38
SPEAKER_01: There's a lot going on with this one.
0:39
SPEAKER_01: For for people who don't know the NYPD, when you mess up, they give you highway therapy.
0:44
SPEAKER_01: You they're sent to the furthest possible place, which most likely has a toll each way that you're going to have to pay.
0:50
SPEAKER_01: That's just that's part of the deal of being an NYPD cop.
0:53
SPEAKER_01: You know, you post something on social media that gets the rounds, you you go viral like this with some kind of statement that doesn't conform to the NYPD policy, and you toast.
1:02
SPEAKER_01: He knew the rules that he was going by, right?
1:04
SPEAKER_01: But he he had like an accent, right?
1:06
SPEAKER_01: Like what, like when I heard him talking in that video, right?
1:10
SPEAKER_01: Didn't he had like some kind of accent?
1:12
SPEAKER_01: It reminded me of this chick that I worked with.
1:15
SPEAKER_01: And she was very similar.
1:16
SPEAKER_01: She did not give a shit.
1:18
SPEAKER_01: She would go, she went to one police plaza, right?
1:20
SPEAKER_01: The headquarters for the MIPD, and she didn't have her hair in a bun and uniform.
1:25
SPEAKER_01: And an inspector, who's three, four ranks above her, just very nicely, not even like an order.
1:31
SPEAKER_01: It was like, you know, you uh you really should put your hair up and, you know, look professional.
1:34
SPEAKER_01: You're in like the belly of the beast here.
1:36
SPEAKER_01: And she's like, she says to her, she goes, That is why I don't work in this building.
1:41
SPEAKER_01: This police department is like a Nazi regime.
1:45
SPEAKER_01: It says this to the inspector.
1:47
SPEAKER_01: I mean, there were she just there was there was a thing with no filter with this chick.
1:51
SPEAKER_01: And I loved her for that because she just didn't care what she said.
1:54
SPEAKER_01: It didn't matter whether it conformed to the patrol guide procedure or not.
1:58
SPEAKER_01: And this guy sounded, as soon as I heard his voice, it sounded exactly like this chick.
2:02
SPEAKER_01: It reminded me of that she just she didn't care what people said she was gonna do what she was gonna do.
2:07
SPEAKER_01: And this poor guy, he, you know, he what did he say?
2:10
SPEAKER_01: He said that Mam Dani isn't his mayor.
2:12
SPEAKER_01: You know, he he uh went against the regime that's in power now and he got penalized for it.
2:19
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, he he went against the rules.
2:21
SPEAKER_01: I get why the job is gonna transfer him.
2:23
SPEAKER_01: On the flip side of that, though, you look at Monaghan, who during the Black Lives Matter protests, he got down on a knee with all the other BLM people in an effort to de-escalate what was potentially a riot situation.
2:37
SPEAKER_01: But my question is, why would it be something that needed to be de-escalated if it wasn't, if it was a peaceful protest, right?
2:44
SPEAKER_01: It's just it's inherent that the BLM riots were a complete disaster.
2:48
SPEAKER_01: And him taking a knee was making a political statement.
2:51
SPEAKER_01: It was showing solidarity with this particular group who was violent, who killed people across the country, who caused billions of dollars in damage in in major cities all over America.
3:02
SPEAKER_01: And he took a knee with them, along with a lot of other officers that were there, you know, not just cops, other ranking officers, showing solidarity with that particular movement.
3:11
SPEAKER_01: And there was nothing, as far as I know, that was disciplinary.
3:15
SPEAKER_01: He had no disciplinary inaction taken against him, right?
3:18
SPEAKER_01: So why does he not get disciplined for taking a knee with a group of people, especially a group of people who are wreaking havoc?
3:25
SPEAKER_01: And this guy who's speaking out against a mayor who has given basically the okay for people to act out, he goes and visits perpetrators in the hospital.
3:35
SPEAKER_01: He speaks out against the police on a regular basis.
3:37
SPEAKER_01: So he's given the minions on the ground who take their marching orders from the politicians.
3:43
SPEAKER_01: He's given them the green light to go ahead.
3:45
SPEAKER_01: He's spoken out against ICE, which is what this whole thing at Whitecore Hospital was about, that ICE agents were there to arrest an illegal.
3:52
SPEAKER_01: And, you know, the minions that are contacted through Discord and all those other chats get the alert to, you know, go swarm.
3:58
SPEAKER_01: And they're like a bunch of, you know, roaches that just go and swarm the place and try and wreak as much havoc as possible and get videos of guys like this saying stuff to just try and mess with the the regime or whatever they want to say.
4:10
SPEAKER_01: So, you know, the mayor claimed that he had nothing to do with the transfer.
4:15
SPEAKER_01: That's his statement.
4:16
SPEAKER_01: You know what?
4:16
SPEAKER_01: Maybe the job kept it inside and didn't have anything to do with it.
4:19
SPEAKER_01: But, you know, Tish answers to Mam Dani.
4:22
SPEAKER_01: So there is no way Mam Dani, who is clearly very thin-skinned, did not say, you need to take care of this guy.
4:29
SPEAKER_01: You know, so he's got 20 years on.
4:30
SPEAKER_01: I don't know if they're gonna let him retire.
4:32
SPEAKER_01: I don't, I don't know how far they're gonna go with this.
4:34
SPEAKER_01: I was targeted for something that should have been a C C R B and they turned it into an IAB hearing, and it should have never even gotten to that point.
4:41
SPEAKER_01: But because the person was politically connected, it goes a different route and you have a different level of uh, you know, of justice that served there.
4:48
SPEAKER_01: And that's just we have to, I guess we'll see what happens with this guy.
4:50
SPEAKER_01: But what he said is not wrong.
4:52
SPEAKER_01: And it's not fair that he's getting punished for saying something that goes against what is currently the popular thing to feel.
5:01
SPEAKER_01: And the same stuff was done a few years ago during a very riotous time, taking side with rioters, and there was no penalty with that.
5:09
SPEAKER_01: And by the way, that didn't stop the violence.
5:11
SPEAKER_01: Monahan's moment of knee and trying to you you can't appease an alligator.
5:15
SPEAKER_01: It's still gonna eat you.
5:16
SPEAKER_01: It just might be delayed slightly, but you you're not gonna change what is going on there.
5:20
SPEAKER_01: So that whole thing is just it's very frustrating, but cops have to understand you don't have freedom of speech.
5:26
SPEAKER_01: No.
5:27
SPEAKER_01: You don't.
5:27
SPEAKER_01: When you're a cop, you lose your freedom of speech.
5:29
SPEAKER_01: And that's just what something that you have to accept as, you know, par for the course.
5:34
SPEAKER_01: As soon as I retired, I put my bumper stickers on my car.
5:36
SPEAKER_01: I signed up on Facebook, you know, like I had my freedom of speech back.
5:40
SPEAKER_01: That was like the beauty of it.
5:41
SPEAKER_01: Like, wow, I can say things and not worry about repercussions to my career.
5:44
SPEAKER_01: This guy's gonna face that, but it seems to me he doesn't give a crap.
5:48
SPEAKER_01: And good for him for not caring.
5:50
SPEAKER_01: You know, he said what everybody's thinking, it's just not popular right now.
5:53
SPEAKER_00: Well, look what started the whole thing.
5:55
SPEAKER_00: I mean, the city, this whole thing about sanctuary cities is nonsense.
5:58
SPEAKER_00: It violates federal laws.
6:00
SPEAKER_00: You know, and the feds, you know, for years, it's the same thing with the marijuana debate, where, you know, marijuana is illegally illegal federally, but the states have taken upon themselves, had a vote, taken things to vote, some states recreational, some states medicinal.
6:17
SPEAKER_00: The feds have yet to come in and crush them.
6:19
SPEAKER_00: They could if they wanted, but the feds, to their credit, stay on the sidelines.
6:22
SPEAKER_00: That's what the people want.
6:23
SPEAKER_00: With the Sanctuary City thing, you had a guy that was an illegal alien.
6:27
SPEAKER_00: He's in the hospital.
6:28
SPEAKER_00: I get I don't know how I figured out how he was there.
6:31
SPEAKER_00: Or there must have been something with this guy that they really wanted him.
6:34
SPEAKER_00: They went to pick him up and someone made a phone call or one of these apps.
6:38
SPEAKER_00: A whole bunch of protesters show up.
6:40
SPEAKER_00: The NYPD is there to kind of for crowd control, you know, and then they're saying, well, the NYPD is not supposed to cooperate.
6:46
SPEAKER_00: How do you tell the police not to do their jobs and not to assist another federal agency?
6:51
SPEAKER_00: That fascinates me.
6:52
SPEAKER_00: So that's basically what created this whole thing, and it was Mandami's policy of not cooperating with the federal government.
6:59
SPEAKER_00: And they should have just listen, you don't have a permit to protest.
7:02
SPEAKER_00: It's in the middle of the night, it's a hospital where there's emergencies.
7:06
SPEAKER_00: Everybody should have gotten locked up.
7:07
SPEAKER_00: But, you know, and it can't, I'm guessing if a captain was there, maybe it was a mobilization.
7:12
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
7:13
SPEAKER_00: But here's the thing: I'm old enough to remember New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who was a member of the New York City Police Department for 20 years, who regularly criticized the city of New York, criticized the police department.
7:26
SPEAKER_00: He was in the newspaper all the time expressing his views.
7:30
SPEAKER_00: And in the later, they were afraid of him.
7:32
SPEAKER_00: I mean, make no mistake about it.
7:34
SPEAKER_00: And in the later stages of his career, he was hit with charges and specs.
7:38
SPEAKER_00: He went to the trial room, he was found not guilty of the charges.
7:42
SPEAKER_00: But here's a guy who had a career of regularly knocking or throwing his two cents in in the police department.
7:48
SPEAKER_00: And what did they tell us when we were in the police academy?
7:51
SPEAKER_00: If a reporter asks you a question, you refer them to your commanding officer, department uh DCPI, yeah, um public information.
7:59
SPEAKER_00: They didn't want cops going off on their own and expressing their views, opinions, or going into what happened.
8:05
SPEAKER_00: And Eric Adams had a career of doing that.
8:07
SPEAKER_00: And story number two: two detectives from Brooklyn North Narcotics were placed on modified duty, which means their guns and shit were taken away from them.
8:15
SPEAKER_00: Shortly after viral videos showed them punching, kicking, dragging, and beating Timothy Brown, a home health uh a home health care aide and not involved in a crime, inside a Cobble Hill liquor store.
8:26
SPEAKER_00: The man mistakenly was targeted during a drug operation.
8:29
SPEAKER_00: A sergeant was also placed on modified duty.
8:31
SPEAKER_00: The NYPD disbanded that narcotics module, reassigned the six additional detectives, plus a captain and lieutenant, then launched a broader 90-day review of narcotics division's policies, tactics, and practices.
8:45
SPEAKER_00: You've seen the video, I'm sure.
8:46
SPEAKER_00: Want to go into it?
8:48
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so I mean, I'm sure everybody's seen the video of it looks like it's a liquor store.
8:53
SPEAKER_01: There's the guy is resisting.
8:54
SPEAKER_01: He's actively fighting the police, right?
8:57
SPEAKER_01: And they're trying to use the minimum amount of force necessary to affect the arrest.
9:01
SPEAKER_01: So for people who haven't been, I mean, I wasn't in narcotics, but I did street narcotics at the precinct level.
9:06
SPEAKER_01: So we would do, you know, not really buy and bust, we would really watch the dealers and then grab the buyers as they walked off.
9:13
SPEAKER_01: So if you have people communicating, so I don't know how they confuse this guy as a buyer, right?
9:19
SPEAKER_01: I'm assuming that's what happened, that they thought this guy was a buyer, that they they grabbed in the liquor store and they were trying to grab him.
9:26
SPEAKER_01: And so it was a wrong ID.
9:27
SPEAKER_01: But either way, that all, all that mistake is gonna get hashed out at the precinct, right?
9:34
SPEAKER_01: If you're being placed under arrest, resisting because you think you're innocent, first of all, is not the way to handle things, right?
9:41
SPEAKER_01: You say, okay, I don't know why I'm being arrested.
9:43
SPEAKER_01: I need to know what's going on here, and talk civilly to the cops and they're gonna talk to you and explain everything to you.
9:48
SPEAKER_01: Maybe not right then at the scene because it might be a little hectic.
9:51
SPEAKER_01: There might be a crowd gathering, there might be an exigent circumstance where they got to kind of hook you up and get you out of there, but you're gonna have an opportunity to talk to them.
9:59
SPEAKER_01: And there's gonna come a point where whoever it was that saw the drug deal happen is gonna be like, no, no, no, that wasn't the guy.
10:04
SPEAKER_01: It was the other guy.
10:05
SPEAKER_01: You know, I mean, I it happened to me.
10:07
SPEAKER_01: We had a situation where we had a guy that got robbed, and the uh the guy was all, he didn't really get a good look at the perk, but we grabbed some guy who was walking who I knew.
10:16
SPEAKER_01: He was a gang member, but he wasn't a horrible guy, and I knew that he didn't do robberies.
10:20
SPEAKER_01: He was involved in other stuff, but he didn't do robberies, but he didn't resist because he knew the cops.
10:26
SPEAKER_01: We put him in handcuffs, and I'm like, you know what?
10:28
SPEAKER_01: This isn't, this is, I know this isn't you.
10:29
SPEAKER_01: Just chill out, remain calm, and we're gonna figure it out.
10:32
SPEAKER_01: And sure enough, we went back to the precinct and did the whole lineup, and it wasn't him.
10:35
SPEAKER_01: He didn't get picked out.
10:36
SPEAKER_01: So for people who are saying, well, this guy had a right to fight because he didn't do anything.
10:42
SPEAKER_01: First of all, when somebody's fighting the cops, maybe he didn't do that drug buy, but he might have been doing or wanting, wanted somewhere else for something else.
10:50
SPEAKER_01: That's that's something that people don't take into account.
10:52
SPEAKER_01: Everybody's got something going on that maybe the cops don't know about.
10:55
SPEAKER_01: So why this guy decided to fight, but you can't fight the police.
10:59
SPEAKER_01: It'll get sorted out.
11:00
SPEAKER_01: And guess what?
11:01
SPEAKER_01: If you're arrested falsely and you you end up having to get you got a lawsuit, right?
11:05
SPEAKER_01: So think of it.
11:07
SPEAKER_01: There's plenty that'll take it.
11:08
SPEAKER_01: You're gonna get 10 grand at least out of the city, especially if you're, you know, inconvenienced by being in a jail cell for a while.
11:14
SPEAKER_01: But this is not the way to handle something if you feel that you're innocent of something and you're getting arrested, number one.
11:18
SPEAKER_01: Number two, we don't know, and nobody who watches that video can make the assumption that he's innocent of any crime because he's fighting with the police.
11:25
SPEAKER_01: So right then and there, once you're told to put your hands behind your back and you resist, that's a crime in and of itself.
11:30
SPEAKER_01: Whether or not you committed a crime is irrelevant.
11:33
SPEAKER_01: If you're told to put your hands behind your back, you're under arrest, that's called resisting if you refuse to do it.
11:37
SPEAKER_01: And that's a misdemeanor.
11:39
SPEAKER_01: But as far as the the uh the cops are concerned, I think they did a great job considering, you know, they threw a couple of punches, they did what they tried to do to get this guy down.
11:47
SPEAKER_01: And, you know, they weren't, it wasn't, you know, some kind of massive beating where they were smashing his head into the floor and taking broken bottles and slamming it over his head.
11:56
SPEAKER_01: You know, they used minimum force that was that was pretty much equal to the force that they were receiving from this guy who is a big dude to try and get him down.
12:03
SPEAKER_01: So, you know, good for them for for actually being able to take somebody down.
12:07
SPEAKER_01: But transferring units like that happens once in a while.
12:11
SPEAKER_01: Like I think um Amadou Diallo, right?
12:13
SPEAKER_01: The a street crime, that whole thing got dismantled after that.
12:17
SPEAKER_01: So this is you know, this is par for the course.
12:20
SPEAKER_01: Whenever anything, whether they did something right or wrong, when when there's negative publicity on a unit, they're gonna get, you know, sent to the to the four corners of the earth to think about what they did, and then you know, they put other people in their place.
12:32
SPEAKER_01: So that's you know, that's the deal.
12:33
SPEAKER_00: Well, the NYPD, when there's a scandal or something goes sideways, they don't go in with a scalpel, they go in with a hand grenade and just blow the whole thing up and start all over again.
12:43
SPEAKER_00: And having worked in the narcotics division, so you're doing a buy and bust operation, and you've got an undercover who's the primary, sometimes two undercovers, they have buy money, and then you have a couple of other undercovers that are called ghosts that are watching their back and they're transmitting to the field team of what's going on if the field team is not within sight.
13:01
SPEAKER_00: And what I'm guessing during this but if it was a buy if it was a buy and bust operation, the undercover this guy was supposedly a buyer.
13:08
SPEAKER_01: He was he wasn't a s a I don't know what side of the drug transaction he was accused of being on.
13:14
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so e so either A they mistook him as the guy that's slinging doing the hand-to-hand transactions, or B, sometimes what they'll do is they know who's dealing, they've got an undercover made a buy.
13:26
SPEAKER_00: The ghost will watch a couple of other people buy from the same individual, and when they step off the set, they're given a description, the field team moves in and starts looking for these people.
13:37
SPEAKER_00: I'm looking for a guy in a gray jacket, I'm looking for a guy with a red hat with a cane.
13:41
SPEAKER_00: They move in, they stop these people, they put them in it, they put them in handcuffs, and then what's done is called a confirmatory ID.
13:49
SPEAKER_00: So they're in the street, and either the ghost who's still on the street will just kind of walk by across the street pretending not to notice and go over the air, yeah, Vic, Marik, you got the right guy.
14:00
SPEAKER_00: Then you call the P van, they picked them up.
14:02
SPEAKER_00: Or sometimes the undercouple will drive by in a vehicle with tinted windows and say, You got the right guy, you got the wrong guy.
14:08
SPEAKER_00: It's not that you're just whisked away to the precinct and you never know it was them.
14:12
SPEAKER_00: There's a confirmatory ID on the scene.
14:14
SPEAKER_00: So, what I'm guessing is they had a description that fit this guy, and they saw him go into the liquor store, they went into the liquor store, and when they go to approach him, all hell breaks loose, put your hands behind your back, obviously he didn't, turns into a fist fight, there's bottles flying all over the place.
14:30
SPEAKER_00: I had a similar story.
14:32
SPEAKER_00: Like I was in narcotics, it was up in the 2-3 or the 2-5, and it was by this crack building that we were there all the time, and it came over as a description of a female Hispanic with this furry jacket, furry coat.
14:45
SPEAKER_00: So we roll up in front of the building, crackhead walks out of the building, female, furry coat with the hood and everything.
14:52
SPEAKER_00: Guy gave a very distinct description.
14:54
SPEAKER_00: We walk up to her, she looks at us, and she steps back, right?
14:58
SPEAKER_00: And I says, Come here, hun.
14:59
SPEAKER_00: And I grab her, and literally she pulled herself.
15:02
SPEAKER_00: It was like, it was like uh Houdini.
15:04
SPEAKER_00: I'm holding the coat, and she like just slipped right out of the coat, right?
15:08
SPEAKER_00: So we go to grab her and she's spitting and kicking and fighting with us.
15:13
SPEAKER_00: Finally, we get her cuffed up.
15:15
SPEAKER_00: We got her standing in the street.
15:16
SPEAKER_00: I throw the jacket back over her shoulders.
15:19
SPEAKER_00: The undercovers drive by.
15:21
SPEAKER_00: They go, That's not her.
15:22
SPEAKER_00: And I says, You have to be kidding me.
15:26
SPEAKER_00: During the fight and everything, she had a couple of crack vials, so she went.
15:30
SPEAKER_00: So we're like, What is it?
15:31
SPEAKER_00: So we're just about to leave, and we're all flustered, and everyone's laughing at me because when I was wrestling with her trying to get her cuffed up, a bird flew over, pigeon crapped right in my hair, right?
15:41
SPEAKER_00: So everyone's laughing at me, right?
15:43
SPEAKER_00: It's a big joke.
15:44
SPEAKER_00: Just as we're about to leave, another female walks out of the building with the same damn coat.
15:49
SPEAKER_00: So I said, There's no way.
15:50
SPEAKER_00: Come here, hon.
15:51
SPEAKER_00: She comes right over to us, right?
15:53
SPEAKER_00: Asked for the undercovers to come back.
15:55
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's her.
15:56
SPEAKER_00: So it was just two women, two crackheads, the same building with the same, almost identical coat.
16:01
SPEAKER_00: But like you said, all he had done is say, Okay, what's this about?
16:06
SPEAKER_00: And you're right, you never know what someone has done.
16:09
SPEAKER_00: I mean, who knows?
16:10
SPEAKER_00: You know, what what this guy's got going on in his life and background that he's concerned about, maybe.
16:15
SPEAKER_00: And when the cops went to stop more hell break broke loose.
16:18
SPEAKER_00: But like you said, all he would have had done is put his hands behind his back, they would have walked him out.
16:22
SPEAKER_00: Obviously, the undercover would have told him, that's not him.
16:25
SPEAKER_00: Sorry, sir.
16:26
SPEAKER_00: Fill out a 250, and that's the end of it.
16:28
SPEAKER_00: But for whatever reason, he decided, and he his defense is gonna be, I didn't know there were cops.
16:33
SPEAKER_00: You know that's what he's gonna say, that he thought he was getting, you know, robbed or something.
16:37
SPEAKER_00: But you're right, the city's gonna pay out regardless.
16:39
SPEAKER_00: These guys, I don't know if they're gonna be found guilty.
16:42
SPEAKER_00: They're gonna be brought up on charges.
16:43
SPEAKER_00: I don't know if they're gonna be found guilty or not, but their careers will never be the same.
16:47
SPEAKER_00: That's gonna follow them.
16:48
SPEAKER_00: You know, I don't know how much time they got on the job, but it's sad.
16:51
SPEAKER_00: So this is gonna make you laugh.
16:52
SPEAKER_00: The Big Apple is safer than ever.
16:55
SPEAKER_00: My PD police commissioner Jessica Tish said an unprecedented hiring of more cops helped drive down major crime by 9.5% across the five boroughs during the first four months of 2026.
17:07
SPEAKER_00: She goes on to all this bullshit about how much safer the city is.
17:11
SPEAKER_00: Your thoughts.
17:12
SPEAKER_01: First of all, as you well know, the winter is always the dead time, right?
17:16
SPEAKER_01: January and February, like when I was in crime, especially because February is such a short month, you're hurting for activity because nobody's out.
17:23
SPEAKER_01: And I think New York, I mean, I'm in Florida and we had it, we had a freeze here, which hasn't happened in 20 years.
17:28
SPEAKER_01: New York was brutally cold.
17:30
SPEAKER_01: So you can't really say that that's not a fair, you know, black and white, like, yeah, crime is down.
17:35
SPEAKER_01: Crime might be down, but it's only because the weather affected it and people weren't going out to commit the crime, right?
17:41
SPEAKER_01: So that's so, you know, the other thing is that I love how they do the stats.
17:46
SPEAKER_01: There have been plenty of times where the job has discovered that the stats were skewed so that it would make commanding officers look like they were heroes and stopping crime.
17:56
SPEAKER_01: So what they would do is you would take a burglary, which is a felony, which is a major seven crime, and you would say, well, it wasn't really a burglary.
18:04
SPEAKER_01: It was a trespass and a petty larceny.
18:06
SPEAKER_01: So now you have two misdemeanor crimes instead of your big, you know, major seven crime that's gonna show up on stats.
18:13
SPEAKER_01: So those two things you have to take into account when they pull when they pull these stats.
18:18
SPEAKER_01: So I'm not even buying that.
18:19
SPEAKER_01: I think you can't really decide if crime is down or up until the summertime.
18:23
SPEAKER_01: Once June, July, August hit, even into September, then we're gonna know what's what's going on.
18:28
SPEAKER_01: But I love how they say, you know, well, murder's down.
18:31
SPEAKER_01: Murder's down, maybe, but maybe because the hospitals are so advanced in medical technology that they're able to save more lives because they can, you know, like stop the bleeding faster, or, you know, EMS is better prepared on scene or faster, you know, transport times from the scene to the hospital to get the guy into the into the OR.
18:49
SPEAKER_01: I just, I'm not buying anything.
18:50
SPEAKER_01: They love to make it sound good, you know, it's because it affects everything, the crime, right?
18:55
SPEAKER_01: It affects tourism, worldwide tourism.
18:57
SPEAKER_01: That's the major driver for money.
18:59
SPEAKER_01: It affects people coming in, coming out, the the commercial stuff.
19:03
SPEAKER_01: It affects residential, it affects his home values, it affects so many things, the crime, that if you say, Yeah, you know, we're kind of screwed and crime is going up, it doesn't make anything look good.
19:14
SPEAKER_01: It makes it look like, you know, this new guy, My Sone Linen, who the mayor put in, who's a convicted um felon who's uh advising on criminal justice issues now, which is hilarious.
19:25
SPEAKER_01: It's like having a fat guy advise on the on the new menu for at Arby's for healthy people or something.
19:31
SPEAKER_01: It's it's it makes no sense to me, but you can't rely on the stats that they say.
19:35
SPEAKER_01: They skew them.
19:36
SPEAKER_01: The weather has a huge effect on crime.
19:38
SPEAKER_01: Really, it defies logic because I don't think that's translating to the people who live in the city at all.
19:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
19:44
SPEAKER_00: And ever since the inception of Comstat, the NYPD and major police departments across the country that use that to track crime, they've been cooking the books for years.
19:53
SPEAKER_00: You go into any NYPD precinct now, there's a whole team of people that are set up in place in an NYPD precinct inside people, and they're cooking the books.
20:03
SPEAKER_00: They're downgrading things, they make it next to impossible to report something.
20:08
SPEAKER_00: You know, in the old days, a report would come in in the 124 room, the civilians would type up the report, it would go on file, it would either get closed out or get kicked up to the detective squad.
20:18
SPEAKER_00: Now they're like go, there's a million to one checks and balances in place to ensure if something's even if they can knock that thing down to a misdemeanor or get the person not to cooperate, that they can pull that report and say, yeah, this was bullshit.
20:32
SPEAKER_00: And I mean, just think about like identity theft.
20:35
SPEAKER_00: Good luck reporting identity theft in any major police department because A, they're not gonna want to take the report.
20:41
SPEAKER_00: B, even if they take the report, good luck with them investigating it.
20:44
SPEAKER_00: And usually they'll ping pong you.
20:46
SPEAKER_00: So when did you discredit discover that these charges on your credit card?
20:50
SPEAKER_00: Well, we were in Orlando and we used, oh, well, you gotta go, you gotta go to the cops in Orlando.
20:55
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but I live in Miami.
20:56
SPEAKER_00: I was just, well, we can't take the report here.
20:58
SPEAKER_00: Then you call up Orlando, we we don't take a report on the phone.
21:02
SPEAKER_00: Over the phone.
21:02
SPEAKER_00: And you go into Orlando, well, you're probably they will jerk you around until you go, you know what?
21:07
SPEAKER_00: The credit card company's gonna pay for this.
21:10
SPEAKER_00: Fine.
21:10
SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
21:11
SPEAKER_00: And and you just what you spute the charge and that's the end of it.
21:14
SPEAKER_00: That's why if you're using a debit card, don't use a debit card in a gas station because the bank is gonna make your life miserable getting that money back.
21:22
SPEAKER_00: So use the credit card, you know, when you're going to like if if you add a credit card to someone and they walk away with it, you know, it's that's when your card is gonna get swiped onto something else and they're gonna start running up the charges.
21:35
SPEAKER_00: But I have a good friend who got screwed out of a lot of money in an online scam, thought he was purchasing something, and it turned out and it was a substantial amount of money.
21:45
SPEAKER_00: He is still, he's and you know, I've I've helped him a little bit, like kind of trying to push him in the right direction.
21:51
SPEAKER_00: But he's tried the Secret Service, the FBI, two or three different law enforcement, and he's gonna be out a lot of money.
21:57
SPEAKER_00: And it's sad because something looked really Legit and it wasn't.
22:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I did a wire case with that.
22:04
SPEAKER_01: I I did a wire case with the credit cards.
22:06
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
22:06
SPEAKER_01: They had a whole it was the whole mills and it, you know, we were we ended up going up on a wire and the the restaurants were the biggest one at the time because when you give the credit card to the waitress, they give the waitress a dollar, five dollars for every swipe.
22:21
SPEAKER_01: So all they have to do is keep that little swipe thing for the credit card in the in their apron and they swipe the card in there.
22:28
SPEAKER_01: And what they do is they take that and they download it onto a computer, and then they they'll either upload it to like a black site where then they sell it in in decks, or they'll keep it for themselves and make fake credit cards with your numbers, and then they go on shopping sprees and it's all done and you have no idea.
22:44
SPEAKER_01: And then it's done weeks later, so you don't even remember when you gave the credit card to somebody.
22:49
SPEAKER_01: So the restaurants were a big thing, the gas stations, they they're still putting those machines on.
22:53
SPEAKER_01: Everybody's savvy to it.
22:54
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I go to the gas station, I'm pulling on the thing before I put the credit card on because I'm like, I'm not gonna be a victim to this scam.
23:01
SPEAKER_01: I never saw the uh, you know, where where somebody will walk up to somebody and like scan it from the wallet, like, you know, they have like the uh whatever that kind of thing is where you have like a reader or something.
23:10
SPEAKER_01: I've never when I was doing the wire, I didn't see any of that.
23:13
SPEAKER_01: But there's the the when you give a credit card to somebody and it goes out of your site, there's like a 50-50 chance that they're skimming it and they're gonna sell your information and that's it.
23:23
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, I don't I don't know why people would use a debit card anywhere.
23:26
SPEAKER_01: Like I use it at the ATM to get cash, and that's it.
23:28
SPEAKER_01: I that's your money.
23:29
SPEAKER_01: You don't want to give access to that to anybody.
23:31
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, good, those were those were good, good scams they came up with, though.
23:35
SPEAKER_01: I gotta give them credit for.
23:36
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I think it came from the Russians.
23:37
SPEAKER_01: The Russians actually invented it and then it kind of filtered down to the local gang members.
23:42
SPEAKER_01: But I just I said to the the guys that were involved in it, I'm like, you know, you guys are so smart to come up with these scams.
23:47
SPEAKER_01: Like these this is really like savvy scams, how you do this stuff.
23:50
SPEAKER_01: If you just put that towards like legal stuff on Wall Street or whatever, you know, and do like stock trades and stuff, you guys wouldn't have to worry about going to jail.
23:58
SPEAKER_01: But I guess it's the they get the thrill or something.
24:01
SPEAKER_01: I I don't know, I don't know.
24:02
SPEAKER_00: Well, basically what it's done for criminals, identity theft and online scams, they know like we just went into no one wants to take a report.
24:10
SPEAKER_00: And if you do get caught, you're not gonna go because it's not considered a violent crime.
24:13
SPEAKER_00: Now, in the old days, these guys would be sticking a gun in someone's face, right?
24:17
SPEAKER_00: But now most stores don't carry cash.
24:20
SPEAKER_00: So you're a fool if you walk into a remember in the old days, they'd rob a supermarket, a grocery store, a liquor store, but you do some substance substantial time with that.
24:29
SPEAKER_00: You might get killed by the police.
24:30
SPEAKER_00: So if you can hide in the shadows and siphon money out of someone's credit card, it's a no-brainer.
24:35
SPEAKER_01: Not only that, but they they would take the money and go to like Bitcoin.
24:38
SPEAKER_01: So all the money that they got from the proceeds of their sales, they'd funnel it into like a Bitcoin account or like one of those, you know, free the money that is not paper money, one of those things, and you can't get it out.
24:52
SPEAKER_01: Because if you don't have the code to get access to your account, you can't get that money.
24:56
SPEAKER_01: So a lot of people who are for like, you know, they're against the government watching their wallet and watching their bank accounts and monitoring how much money they take out.
25:03
SPEAKER_01: I get that, right?
25:04
SPEAKER_01: Big brother, you don't want big brother watching, but on the flip side, criminals love these things like the like the Bitcoin, and I I can't think of the other, the the other online money things that they have.
25:15
SPEAKER_01: Criminals hide their money there and they trade their money there and it's not traceable.
25:19
SPEAKER_01: So they're able, we can't recoup the money that was stolen from people to give it back to them because it's tied up in this account and we don't have access to it.
25:26
SPEAKER_01: And and that's the end of the story.
25:28
SPEAKER_01: So you don't get your money back.
25:29
SPEAKER_01: Genius.
25:30
SPEAKER_00: It really is.
25:31
SPEAKER_00: It is, like you said, if they just went legit, and we know a couple of people that did go legit, they're making a lot of money.
25:37
SPEAKER_01: Making a lot of money and good for them too.
25:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
25:40
SPEAKER_01: I wrote I wrote for them, but I'm too scared to go to jail.
25:42
SPEAKER_01: I could never do that.
25:43
SPEAKER_01: Oh no, no, I don't look good in orange, no, no.
25:47
SPEAKER_00: Speaking of people in jail, some of the most infamous killers in New York State history, including John Lennon's assassin, Mark David Chapman, son of Sam David Burkowitz, could soon be free if Albany passes a pair of woke parole bills.
26:00
SPEAKER_00: The elder parole bill would enable violent criminals to dodge their minimum sentences regardless of how heinous their crimes and be granted early parole hearings after they've turned 55 and served 15 years in jail.
26:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
26:13
SPEAKER_01: So a buddy of mine brought this up the other day.
26:15
SPEAKER_01: He's like, yo, they're gonna they're gonna parole everybody.
26:18
SPEAKER_01: So because I I facts matter, right?
26:20
SPEAKER_01: We gotta we gotta get through the the confusion.
26:23
SPEAKER_01: So I did a little research on this bill.
26:24
SPEAKER_01: Like right now, it's in the Senate, right?
26:26
SPEAKER_01: It's in committee in the Senate.
26:28
SPEAKER_01: So it's gotta go for a vote in the committee and pass that in order to be brought to the floor of the Senate to be voted on.
26:34
SPEAKER_01: And if it passes there, it goes to the House.
26:36
SPEAKER_01: The House, however, has a very similar bill that they're working on passing as well.
26:40
SPEAKER_01: So if these things pass the committee and then they go to the floor and they pass the floor, which is a high probability because Albany is all Democrats and they're all about letting the bad people out of jail and not having them, you know, pay for the crimes that they voluntarily committed, it's going to pass.
26:55
SPEAKER_01: And then Hochul signs it.
26:56
SPEAKER_01: And Hochel has made no indication, as far as I know, that she is against any of these bills.
27:01
SPEAKER_01: It all goes towards the whole disorder and create disorder in society.
27:05
SPEAKER_01: There's a whole bigger picture that goes on there.
27:07
SPEAKER_01: But um, so it's in the crime, victims, crime and victims, crime and corrections committee.
27:13
SPEAKER_01: There's no scheduled date for the vote of that.
27:16
SPEAKER_01: Um, but it would allow inmates who are 55 and older and have served at least 15 years in prison for whatever the crime was to become eligible for a parole hearing.
27:25
SPEAKER_01: It doesn't mean they're automatically granted parole, right?
27:27
SPEAKER_01: But again, the parole board is picked by the governor and they have been letting out cop killers.
27:34
SPEAKER_01: I I don't I don't know if they've denied a cop killer parole.
27:37
SPEAKER_01: They've been letting all kinds of repeat offenders out who have repeated offend once they come out and causing more victims.
27:43
SPEAKER_01: I mean, on May um May 4th, uh, a guy that I worked with, Brian Moore, he was killed in 2015.
27:50
SPEAKER_01: We just had his the anniversary of his murder.
27:53
SPEAKER_01: And his murderer, Demetrius Blackwell, is in prison.
27:57
SPEAKER_01: And it's potential that once this guy turns 55 and he will by then have served 15 years, he potentially could be given parole, which is highly likely with the current parole board and you know, whatever future parole boards, because the Democrats have a supermajority in New York State.
28:13
SPEAKER_01: He's gonna get out.
28:14
SPEAKER_01: Like, where are the residents saying, like with the bail reform, right?
28:18
SPEAKER_01: I remember showing the bail reform and that what they were gonna do, that there was gonna be so many more crimes that were not gonna be eligible to be incarcerated.
28:26
SPEAKER_01: You the judges had to release them with no bail.
28:29
SPEAKER_01: People were like, that can't happen, right?
28:31
SPEAKER_01: They're not gonna do that, they're not gonna pass that.
28:33
SPEAKER_01: But they did, right?
28:34
SPEAKER_01: So, like, wake up, my friends and family in New York State.
28:38
SPEAKER_01: Their goal is not to punish the criminals, their goal is to let the criminals go and demonize the police.
28:45
SPEAKER_01: And by demonizing the police, it makes the whole thing less safe.
28:48
SPEAKER_01: And you guys are gonna be the victims because you can't get guns up there, right?
28:52
SPEAKER_01: How are you gonna get a legal gun in New York State?
28:54
SPEAKER_01: You gotta go through, especially in New York City, you gotta go through hoops to even try and get it.
28:58
SPEAKER_01: So I don't, you know, you got to vote with your feet, and that place is just a lost cause.
29:02
SPEAKER_01: But this is this is the plan to do that.
29:05
SPEAKER_01: And these things that happen, like with the narcotics guys who are jammed up now, with mom Donnie with his constant saying about how the police are bad and you know, they shouldn't have shot that EZP that charge at them with a knife, all this, the demonizing of the police, it's all part of the plan.
29:19
SPEAKER_01: And I have no doubt that this is gonna pass the committee, it's gonna pass the Senate, it'll pass the House no problem.
29:25
SPEAKER_01: Hochel's gonna sign it, there's gonna be no objections, and this is what's gonna happen.
29:29
SPEAKER_01: And now these people are gonna be roaming the streets, and people don't understand.
29:33
SPEAKER_01: You can't have feelings about criminals.
29:34
SPEAKER_01: There are very few criminals that I'm sure Vic, less than a handful of criminals that you've dealt with, that I've dealt with, that have been like, okay, we're we're gonna come out and we're gonna, we're gonna become a productive member of society.
29:45
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna go get a job and do a nine to five and deal with rush hour traffic and minimum wage and start over again.
29:52
SPEAKER_01: They're not gonna say that.
29:53
SPEAKER_01: They're gonna want to make a quick buck and they're gonna go right back into whatever it was that were that they were dealing with or settle some scores that have been outstanding for the past 30 years.
30:02
SPEAKER_01: So this is this is a disaster if this thing passes, just like everything else that is passing in that state.
30:07
SPEAKER_01: And it's and the whole purpose is to cause chaos.
30:10
SPEAKER_01: They want chaos in the streets, they want the the cops to be cuckled, to not be able to do anything, and the victims are going to be the citizens who are not armed and they can't help themselves.
30:19
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I mean, you're from Long Island.
30:21
SPEAKER_00: Think about 32 years ago, that lunatic Colin Ferguson that got on the Long Island Railroad train.
30:26
SPEAKER_00: He shot 21 people, killed six.
30:29
SPEAKER_00: He's been in jail 32 years, sure.
30:31
SPEAKER_00: Parole him.
30:32
SPEAKER_00: You know, I mean, how can you do that?
30:33
SPEAKER_00: I mean, guy's a serial killer, the same as Son of Sam.
30:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I get it.
30:37
SPEAKER_00: He's been in jail for 50 years.
30:38
SPEAKER_00: He went around hunting humans for a whole year.
30:41
SPEAKER_00: I mean, you can't let somebody like that out.
30:43
SPEAKER_00: But Holkle started all this bullshit.
30:45
SPEAKER_00: She stacked that parole board with people.
30:47
SPEAKER_00: You had one of the parole boards, I don't know if they're still on the parole board, one of the parole board members married a guy that was in jail and committed murder.
30:55
SPEAKER_00: So it just kind of goes to show you the mindset.
30:57
SPEAKER_00: You're right.
30:58
SPEAKER_00: They let these people out, they prey on society, and then state of New York, city of New York, they don't want you having guns.
31:04
SPEAKER_00: And then, you know, the cops get involved, and then the cops are bad.
31:07
SPEAKER_00: It's you're dealing with people that aren't steeped in logic.
31:10
SPEAKER_00: They're they're really not.
31:11
SPEAKER_00: Right.
31:11
SPEAKER_00: And they don't want to deal with the facts.
31:13
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
31:13
SPEAKER_00: There we go.
31:14
SPEAKER_00: Florida substitute teacher who called herself a million-dollar prostitute, and she's not, was fired after she twerked and allegedly grabbed a student in a classroom during a meltdown.
31:23
SPEAKER_00: Angela Faith Jordan, three names, was arrested on Monday when she was accused of acting erratically at Lake Mineola High School in Minneola, Florida.
31:31
SPEAKER_00: Uh, the district said her employment was uh terminated the same day.
31:34
SPEAKER_00: Uh, let's see, Jordan, I saw the video, and this woman is they said she's bipolar.
31:40
SPEAKER_00: I mean, she looked like she was possessed by the devil.
31:42
SPEAKER_00: I'll post photos of what she looked like.
31:45
SPEAKER_00: And the two cops, it goes to show you how policing is changed so much when I first started almost 40 years ago.
31:52
SPEAKER_00: If you watch the way this woman behaves, and these two cops could not have been nicer, I mean, the woman is acting erratic.
31:58
SPEAKER_00: I mean, just spewing nonsense, her eyes are like, you know, and they're like, okay, you gotta leave, you gotta leave.
32:05
SPEAKER_00: And she's like, you know, just carrying on, carrying on.
32:08
SPEAKER_00: And eventually, to their credit, they got her out without it becoming, you know, a Donny Brook.
32:13
SPEAKER_00: But and I'm surprised if that would have happened in New York with the school teachers union, she'd be still teaching six months later.
32:19
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
32:19
SPEAKER_01: She'd be in one of those padded rooms just hanging out, collecting, collecting her paycheck.
32:24
SPEAKER_01: I didn't see the video.
32:25
SPEAKER_01: I'm pulling it up now to look at it.
32:27
SPEAKER_01: But what is going on with this rash of teachers acting inappropriately with their students?
32:33
SPEAKER_01: These women having sex with their kids, going to jail for it, getting pregnant.
32:37
SPEAKER_01: Like, I feel like every time I open up the paper, it's a new story about this.
32:40
SPEAKER_01: This, I mean, really when where is the like human decorum, right?
32:45
SPEAKER_01: Class, like professionalism.
32:47
SPEAKER_01: What is going on?
32:49
SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't understand where people's heads are, oh, where people's heads are at.
32:52
SPEAKER_01: I don't get it.
32:53
SPEAKER_01: What is she thinking?
32:54
SPEAKER_01: Does she think this is appropriate?
32:56
SPEAKER_01: And do you think that this isn't going to be quite on video when everything is quote on video and you're not going to receive ramifications?
33:01
SPEAKER_01: Like, I think it's a it's a mindset where these people feel justified for their actions because they think that the minority, who's extremely loud right now, accepts it because there's no opposition, because the opposition has been silenced.
33:13
SPEAKER_01: So they have this general feeling that everything that I do is okay and it'll be accepted because everybody thinks the same way I do because they're in this echo chamber.
33:21
SPEAKER_01: But really, this behavior isn't acceptable.
33:24
SPEAKER_01: And when it comes down to it, like half the time it's it's criminal and you're gonna get arrested for it.
33:28
SPEAKER_01: And then they grew up in this little safe area of, you know, they're never being held to account for their actions.
33:34
SPEAKER_01: So they don't even grasp the fact that they can be punished for the things that they're doing.
33:38
SPEAKER_01: It's just we live in like a really wacky time.
33:40
SPEAKER_01: And I don't, you know, you gotta bring back like corporal punishment.
33:43
SPEAKER_01: You gotta start disciplining these kids.
33:45
SPEAKER_01: I'm so sick of going to restaurants and seeing these little brats running around and and, you know, chasing each other around in the in the restaurant while I'm trying to eat, and and the parents are just sitting there like, huh, everything's wonderful.
33:56
SPEAKER_01: No, no, you you need to discipline your kid or get the hell out of the restaurant while I'm trying to eat my my food here.
34:02
SPEAKER_01: And this is just par for the course.
34:04
SPEAKER_01: It's like, let me just it's a free-for-all.
34:06
SPEAKER_01: There's no class, there's no decorum.
34:09
SPEAKER_01: And this is just indicative of how the moral fabric of our society is vanished.
34:15
SPEAKER_01: I don't even think it's there anymore.
34:16
SPEAKER_01: It's it's it's like gone.
34:17
SPEAKER_00: That's off to those two sheriff's deputies.
34:19
SPEAKER_00: I just looked it up from the Clay County uh sheriff's office.
34:22
SPEAKER_00: It was a a male and a female.
34:24
SPEAKER_00: They were professional, they didn't, you know, become unglued.
34:28
SPEAKER_00: They handled it probably a lot better than I would have in my day.
34:31
SPEAKER_00: She would, I just would have whisked her ass out of there, but to their credit, and I obviously they're wearing body cams, so but you know, they they handle the situation very professionally, and you know, I'm I'm glad they got out of that without getting hurt.
34:43
SPEAKER_00: Now, this is kind of funny but crazy, and you formerly being from Long Island, a Long Island woman, Elna Waddell, 35 years old of Deer Park, Long Island, and I know somebody from Deer Park, Long Island, was found guilty of first degree assault after an argument with her boyfriend.
34:59
SPEAKER_00: Prosecutors say she threw a lit stick of homemade dynamite into his bedroom while he slept.
35:05
SPEAKER_00: He awoke to a hissing sound and tried to throw it off before it exploded, blowing off parts of his hand and arm.
35:11
SPEAKER_00: She faces up to 25 years in jail.
35:13
SPEAKER_01: Wow.
35:14
SPEAKER_01: You know what?
35:14
SPEAKER_01: Another lesson.
35:15
SPEAKER_01: Women are crazy.
35:16
SPEAKER_01: And I always tell these guys, Jorgens was invented for a reason.
35:20
SPEAKER_01: Stay away from the women.
35:21
SPEAKER_01: We are nuts.
35:22
SPEAKER_01: You know what?
35:23
SPEAKER_01: This chick, I guess I'm assuming there was no other woman in the room with him at the time when she threw the dynamite.
35:28
SPEAKER_01: Uh I would guess that that was probably a number one reason why she would have that type of rage going on that she thought maybe he was in there with the uh with the gumad or whatever was going on.
35:37
SPEAKER_01: But that's uh I mean, you know, again, did she not think that she was gonna get caught or was it like a fit or age?
35:42
SPEAKER_01: And where'd she get a stick of dynamite from?
35:44
SPEAKER_01: I think she's gonna be able to get away.
35:45
SPEAKER_01: Where do you buy that from?
35:46
SPEAKER_01: I guess it's a white project, yeah.
35:48
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
35:48
SPEAKER_01: That's that's worrisome that that can be created that that easily.
35:52
SPEAKER_01: But all right.
35:53
SPEAKER_01: I don't know how you would you know what?
35:54
SPEAKER_01: Good for him for trying to throw it out the window.
35:57
SPEAKER_01: That's like band of brothers' life right there.
35:59
SPEAKER_00: It probably saved his life, although I just would have hauled ass.
36:02
SPEAKER_00: But you're talking about guys and and women having issues, and NYPD cops should know better.
36:06
SPEAKER_00: An NYPD detective was arrested on Staten Island early Tuesday morning and charged with robbery.
36:11
SPEAKER_00: The detective, 36 years old, was taken into custody about 1.30 a.m.
36:15
SPEAKER_00: That sounds like a boyfriend, girlfriend to bring at 1.30 in the morning, May 5th, at the 1, 2, 3, yeah, 123 precinct in Staten Island, in addition to charge of robbery, was charged with assault and criminal messages.
36:26
SPEAKER_00: So it sounds like a boyfriend, girlfriend thing.
36:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know, I'm not down with that whole robbery charge for the like for people who don't know, if you take property by force from someone, that's considered a robbery.
36:37
SPEAKER_01: So these like domestic robberies, it's really like you get into an argument with somebody and you know they're on the phone or whatever, and you like grab the phone out of the hand.
36:46
SPEAKER_01: Now that's like robbery.
36:47
SPEAKER_01: To my mind, it's like there should be a separate charge for that because it's like a it's like a domestic thing, heated.
36:52
SPEAKER_01: You know, it's it's not like I went out and like put a gun to somebody's head and said, give me your wallet.
36:56
SPEAKER_01: You know, you get you get in the heat of the moment.
36:58
SPEAKER_01: I understand it.
36:59
SPEAKER_01: People, you know, can't control their emotions and they lose their their shit.
37:02
SPEAKER_01: But, you know, uh this he's again, I'm a woman.
37:07
SPEAKER_01: We cause problems, we're crazy.
37:09
SPEAKER_01: I readily admit it on a regular basis.
37:12
SPEAKER_01: I got no problem acknowledging that fact.
37:13
SPEAKER_01: But uh, yeah, again, this is again domestics, right?
37:17
SPEAKER_01: That's that's what's gonna get you jammed up.
37:19
SPEAKER_01: And that's this sucks for this guy.
37:21
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and if he wasn't a cop, he wouldn't have been charged with the robbery because that would have boosted the Comstat numbers.
37:26
SPEAKER_00: But since he's a cop, it's going right by the book.
37:29
SPEAKER_01: You know, that would have been a petty larceny and a salt three.
37:32
SPEAKER_00: That's exactly what it would have been, right?
37:33
SPEAKER_00: And now he's being charged with robbery and he's gonna get modified.
37:36
SPEAKER_00: 36 years old, he's probably got at least 10 years on the job.
37:38
SPEAKER_00: He's still got a long time ahead of him.
37:40
SPEAKER_00: She'll probably drop the charges or, you know, he'll he'll be ordered to go to counseling or something, but he's gonna be unmodified for the next four or five years until the job figures out what to do with him.
37:50
SPEAKER_00: Your host of the Mons of the Mic podcast, available on YouTube.
37:54
SPEAKER_00: Tell us about the podcast.
37:55
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so um, thanks to you again.
37:58
SPEAKER_01: You were the one who recommended me going and creating a podcast.
38:01
SPEAKER_01: And since I'm Italian, I can't keep my mouth shut and I'm very opinionated, I figured, you know what, why not?
38:05
SPEAKER_01: We'll give it a shot.
38:06
SPEAKER_01: So, what I what I really focus on in my podcast is is things that normal people, normal everyday people like us, that maybe you're not like a nerd like I am, you don't do a lot of research and a lot of reading and stuff, but you don't know.
38:17
SPEAKER_01: And the things that were happening are affecting us today.
38:21
SPEAKER_01: So, like my last podcast, like bacon and eggs for breakfast, right?
38:25
SPEAKER_01: Everybody thinks that's like the staple breakfast.
38:27
SPEAKER_01: So there was this guy, Edward Bernays, who was an amazing, I mean, probably the king of all kings of public relations expert.
38:36
SPEAKER_01: He was the nephew of um Sigmund Freud.
38:40
SPEAKER_01: So he knew how to like manipulate people and get into groupthink and get people to go along with his ideas.
38:46
SPEAKER_01: So he gets contacted by um this pork corporation who is basically like, you know, bacon sales are down.
38:53
SPEAKER_01: You got to help us out to increase bacon sales.
38:56
SPEAKER_01: So he gets a doctor who works for his agency to be like, yeah, a hearty breakfast is healthier than a cup of coffee and a roll, which is what most people in the 30s had for breakfast.
39:06
SPEAKER_01: So, because that guy gives it the okay.
39:08
SPEAKER_01: And again, the wording is like this is like the stats with the MIPD.
39:11
SPEAKER_01: The wording is important, right?
39:12
SPEAKER_01: The hearty breakfast.
39:13
SPEAKER_01: So to your mind, a hearty breakfast and eggs.
39:16
SPEAKER_01: To me, it might be like a fruit cup and some yogurt, right?
39:19
SPEAKER_01: He goes to all these other doctors across the country and is like, hey, you know, this doctor says that a hearty breakfast is better than uh a light one.
39:27
SPEAKER_01: What do you think?
39:28
SPEAKER_01: And so they most of them said, Yeah, hearty breakfast is probably healthier for you, right?
39:32
SPEAKER_01: More, more nutrition, nutritionally dense, more energy for the rest of the day.
39:36
SPEAKER_01: And because of that, he puts that, he buys ads in newspapers all across the country and puts in the the ad a picture of a breakfast plate with bacon and eggs.
39:45
SPEAKER_01: And voila, people assume that bacon means the hearty breakfast.
39:50
SPEAKER_01: And so bacon sales skyrocket, and that's what it is.
39:52
SPEAKER_01: So, like there was there's been a lot of manipulation of facts, of data to get people to do things that they maybe wouldn't normally do or normally buy, like the Gulf of Tonkininson.
40:04
SPEAKER_01: I go into all kinds of Operation Ajax with Iran, with CIA operations, MK Ultra is a big one, Operation Mockingbird, where the CIA basically was was hijacking news media and telling them to put these stories forth to gain public favor for wars or whatever military action that needed to go on.
40:23
SPEAKER_01: So my podcast covers all of these weird things that were going on.
40:28
SPEAKER_01: Operation Sea Spray, where they were, I don't know if you've ever heard of this, they were the CIA, well, not necessarily CIA, it's more DOD stuff, but they were breaking light bulbs in New York City subways.
40:38
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
40:38
SPEAKER_01: And they were calling the cops on.
40:40
SPEAKER_01: I'm like, people are breaking light bulbs in the subway, what's going on here?
40:43
SPEAKER_01: And it was inert bacteria that they were using to figure out if there was a chemical attack, how the bacteria would travel through the subway system.
40:50
SPEAKER_01: But it actually got people sick and people were dying from it.
40:53
SPEAKER_01: And they were doing this in in a bunch of other states for like airborne, um, airborne releases by our enemy and pathogens and how it would travel with the wind and where it would end up.
41:04
SPEAKER_01: But people died from this and they got really sick.
41:06
SPEAKER_01: And so people don't understand that, you know, the government is capable of doing like a lot more harm than good.
41:13
SPEAKER_01: Anything that really m is meant for good always usually ends up for bad.
41:17
SPEAKER_01: And the things that happened really affect what's going on today, like the war in Iran and the whole thing with Trump and the, you know, assassination attempts.
41:26
SPEAKER_01: It's all a bigger picture that most people have never heard of.
41:29
SPEAKER_01: So my podcast focuses on pointing a lot of that stuff out, opening people's minds to what our government, well, not the the government, the the secret government inside the government, who, you know, they keep their jobs no matter who's president, what they've been doing and what's been going on, so that you can kind of understand what's going on and that we really need to get back to the constitution and and get rid of all these government agencies because they're really, they're not out to help us, and we are looked at as expendable most of the time or collateral damage if something happens.
41:57
SPEAKER_01: So that's really what I focus on in my podcast.
41:59
SPEAKER_01: I do a lot of current events and stuff.
42:01
SPEAKER_01: And then once in a while I'll put in like a crazy cop video of like a foot pursuit or something funny.
42:05
SPEAKER_01: But, you know, I just I hate watching cop videos because I see the tactics.
42:09
SPEAKER_01: And the last one that I put on my last podcast, the tactics was so horrible that it actually got a fireman killed.
42:14
SPEAKER_01: Like it was so, you know, I try and I try and keep it light.
42:18
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, it's it's going well.
42:19
SPEAKER_01: I I enjoy doing it.
42:20
SPEAKER_01: I think, you know, even if you open up only a couple of people's eyes, they open up a few more and then people see what's going on.
42:26
SPEAKER_01: So that's the whole purpose of just to bring truth to it, take the emotion out of what's going on, and uh, you know, just put out the facts of whatever has happened and how it affects the current events today.
42:37
SPEAKER_00: And that's Mons on the Mike Podcast.
42:38
SPEAKER_00: It's available on YouTube, and I encourage my listeners to check it out, subscribe, hit the like button, hype some of her videos.

42:53
SPEAKER_01: Sales are very well, very they're doing really well.
42:55
SPEAKER_01: It's I'm shocked at it.
42:56
SPEAKER_01: I don't uh the intention was never to sell books when I when I wrote it.
43:00
SPEAKER_01: Like I just and not it was really through your help in advertising it and putting it out there, but it amazes me that people are enjoying it and it makes me happy that you know they're enjoying stuff that I experience in 20 years as a cop and enjoy reading it.
43:14
SPEAKER_01: So I'm just, you know, I am blessed every day.
43:17
SPEAKER_01: I I can't even explain how great it is to know that people are enjoying that book.
43:22
