Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Scott Monroe has done a terrific job, really has in
- 0:06Speaker 1: running that union and protecting all of the detectives in
- 0:10Speaker 1: this in this city.
- 0:12Speaker 2: So we called me on body.
- 0:13Speaker 1: He said, Sid, there's gonna be a big story in
- 0:16Speaker 1: Sunday's New York Post. I'm letting you know before it happens.
- 0:21Speaker 1: I don't think you call Larry meant you, but it
- 0:22Speaker 1: could be wrong. I'm goan know before it happens. And
- 0:25Speaker 1: then I said, Greta put you on Monday. And sure enough,
- 0:29Speaker 1: and Yesterday's New York Post, here's what it reads. New
- 0:32Speaker 1: York City Detectives' Union pushes to have NYPD included in
- 0:36Speaker 1: ICE Act protecting officers from public Are we do? The
- 0:40Speaker 1: first paragraph, the city's detective union is escalating its war
- 0:44Speaker 1: against rabid copy haters, pushing to have NYPD officers added
- 0:49Speaker 1: to a federal law that requires protesters to stay twenty
- 0:53Speaker 1: five feet away from ICE officers. So the Halo Act
- 0:57Speaker 1: that puts those pastors in jail. And Scott's that's great.
- 1:01Speaker 1: I love ICE, but what about us NYPD. He's been
- 1:04Speaker 1: complaining about this. He spoke a couple of weeks ago
- 1:07Speaker 1: about this. He said, wait a second, this moron mayor,
- 1:10Speaker 1: this idiot mayor. He actually outlawed cat calls. So my
- 1:15Speaker 1: gorgeous wife Danielle walks by you. You can't say, hey,
- 1:18Speaker 1: you look great today, honey, But but you can call
- 1:20Speaker 1: a cop a dirty pig? How does that make sense?
- 1:23Speaker 1: Scott Monroe back on SID and Friends in the morning.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Good morning, Scott, Hey, thanks for having me.
- 1:28Speaker 1: It's always great having you. So what you're asking for,
- 1:32Speaker 1: I don't know. It doesn't seem like it's all that
- 1:35Speaker 1: much to have cops get the same protection that ice
- 1:38Speaker 1: officers have. I mean to you. To me, you guys
- 1:40Speaker 1: are the same. You're all part of the same law
- 1:42Speaker 1: enforcement family. They're out there deporting bad people, keeping us safe.
- 1:46Speaker 1: You guys are out there every day keeping New Yorkers safe.
- 1:49Speaker 1: To me, it seems like the same thing.
- 1:52Speaker 3: Yes, So listen, as we spoke about before we made
- 1:55Speaker 3: the state alliance with over one hundred unions in it,
- 1:58Speaker 3: over five hundred thousand votes, and we said, you know what,
- 2:01Speaker 3: we were talking the other day and we're like, you know what,
- 2:03Speaker 3: we should take this federal and I reached out to
- 2:06Speaker 3: a couple of congress people and send this they want
- 2:10Speaker 3: to do. The bill themselves. But the easiest way with
- 2:12Speaker 3: be is there's a bill in there now that we
- 2:14Speaker 3: can get right in there and piggyback on that bill
- 2:17Speaker 3: and you know, get this done for war enforces, because
- 2:20Speaker 3: it's happening all through the country, just not in New York.
- 2:24Speaker 3: It's happening everywhere. And you know our detectives, you know,
- 2:29Speaker 3: we're down there, they're down there in the in the subways.
- 2:32Speaker 3: The other day they they basically had that person that
- 2:36Speaker 3: was slashing everybody with slash three people with a machete
- 2:39Speaker 3: the other day. Now they threw it all an older gentleman,
- 2:43Speaker 3: seventy three year old school teacher down the stairs and
- 2:45Speaker 3: killed him. And gets not the two detectives that saw
- 2:49Speaker 3: the pitch the photo of that person a few hours later,
- 2:53Speaker 3: and they granted them and scooped them up. So listen,
- 2:56Speaker 3: we can't have people in our faces, but they can't
- 2:58Speaker 3: be doing this type of things to you when you're
- 3:01Speaker 3: doing your job. Is stopping you from doing your job.
- 3:05Speaker 1: But you said a couple of weeks ago, when the
- 3:07Speaker 1: whole Bumpers in his own thing came up with Julie
- 3:10Speaker 1: men in the City Council, their effort was to limit
- 3:14Speaker 1: anti Semitism and one of synagogues really all houses of worship.
- 3:17Speaker 1: But we know the only issue here is to jeose
- 3:20Speaker 1: so with synagogues and the ahievas, those.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Types of things.
- 3:23Speaker 1: But you were saying that you're already complaining on video
- 3:26Speaker 1: even before you honored me bow and Paul the retired
- 3:28Speaker 1: group a month and a half ago, that you were
- 3:31Speaker 1: hoping Mom Donnie would do something because he outlawed cat calls.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Was there any Was there ever any conversation with the
- 3:38Speaker 1: mayor's office any?
- 3:41Speaker 3: No, No conversation once a long. We reached out to Maya.
- 3:43Speaker 3: We asked the may to come with us at our
- 3:46Speaker 3: press conference, and you know, we adjusted the bill a
- 3:49Speaker 3: little bit. We didn't I wanted to make it twenty
- 3:51Speaker 3: five feet, but the Senate Assembly felt better doing his
- 3:54Speaker 3: fifteen feet, and we went with it to Aaron and listen,
- 3:59Speaker 3: we're not stopping here. We're gonna move it. We're gonna
- 4:02Speaker 3: do what we gotta do to get this done for
- 4:04Speaker 3: law enforcement, not just in New York City, all through
- 4:07Speaker 3: the country now here.
- 4:08Speaker 1: You want to make it federal. So have you reached
- 4:10Speaker 1: out to President Trump?
- 4:13Speaker 3: No? I was hoping you will.
- 4:14Speaker 2: No, are you being serious, Are you kidding?
- 4:16Speaker 3: Because I will no, I will, I said, I assume
- 4:19Speaker 3: you text you of a very good report, and I'm
- 4:22Speaker 3: gonna tell you. I reached out to NAPO, a person
- 4:25Speaker 3: named Mick mchanal, the president that has National Association Police
- 4:29Speaker 3: officers all through the country who are meeting with Tuesday.
- 4:33Speaker 3: This is a very big week for the people that
- 4:35Speaker 3: we lost. Uh. You know, it's a police week and
- 4:39Speaker 3: we're gonna discuss this situation too.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Now what is that now?
- 4:42Speaker 1: Well, police, is this a week where you have where
- 4:46Speaker 1: you go down to down by the water and Battery
- 4:49Speaker 1: Park and honor those who were killed.
- 4:51Speaker 3: Now, this is where Washington recognizes everybody in the country.
- 4:56Speaker 3: It's a wonderful thing. And they put them on the
- 4:58Speaker 3: wall down there and it's out police officers all through
- 5:01Speaker 3: the country that we lost this year. And there were
- 5:04Speaker 3: things called top Cops, which is Tuesday where they honor
- 5:09Speaker 3: cops all through the country. The stories that you hear,
- 5:11Speaker 3: what these these courageous people do, and you get to
- 5:15Speaker 3: listen to them, and and and uh and and basically
- 5:18Speaker 3: they're getna They're gonna awards that night.
- 5:19Speaker 2: That's all.
- 5:21Speaker 3: Have a nice change the light visual for all our
- 5:24Speaker 3: members through the country on Wednesday, which is very big.
- 5:27Speaker 2: That is lovely.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Now, I mean, you know Trump's administration. Trump is all
- 5:30Speaker 1: about law and order. You got Janian Piro there in
- 5:33Speaker 1: d C. She's all about that. You got Cash Betel
- 5:35Speaker 1: runs the FBI. So there's plenty of people, Todd Blanche,
- 5:39Speaker 1: plenty of people with the federal government who are sympathetic
- 5:43Speaker 1: to what you're going through. Scott Monroe and our New
- 5:45Speaker 1: York detectives and sergeants and cops everywhere all over the country.
- 5:51Speaker 1: That's why Trump felt the need on a few occasions,
- 5:54Speaker 1: whether it was Memphis or Washington, d C. Or other cities,
- 5:57Speaker 1: you know, to send in the guard and their crime
- 6:00Speaker 1: problem went down dramatically. So I would think Scott that
- 6:04Speaker 1: between Congress members, especially in New York, they're all huge
- 6:07Speaker 1: with law and order, from Mike Lawler to the Coole Mallio.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Talkis to gar Marino to Laloda or those folks and
- 6:14Speaker 1: even some senators that you would have success.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Oh yes, I've We've already reached so many people from
- 6:20Speaker 3: the Alliance. Somebody reached out to them. I spoke to
- 6:23Speaker 3: somebody already, very excited. If they don't piggyback on to
- 6:27Speaker 3: build that's already down there now in Washington, they'd be
- 6:30Speaker 3: willing to do it.
- 6:32Speaker 1: You know, it's such a mess for the cops. Is
- 6:34Speaker 1: this one former cop I'm not gonna mention his name.
- 6:36Speaker 1: He does some ridiculous podcast that nobody listens to, and
- 6:40Speaker 1: he's been tweeting for days that Jessica Tith is about
- 6:43Speaker 1: to quit in two weeks and it's either going to
- 6:45Speaker 1: be a BOSSI or Rodney Harrison. Take no, it's not true.
- 6:48Speaker 1: It's complete bake news, one thousand percent bake news.
- 6:52Speaker 2: Scott.
- 6:52Speaker 1: You can you can bank your no. I can't tell
- 6:54Speaker 1: what's gonna happen in September or December, but she's not
- 6:58Speaker 1: leaving any time soon, and that I can guarantee you
- 7:02Speaker 1: that's guaranteed. But there's so much division, it seems like
- 7:06Speaker 1: sometimes with former cops to scruntle cops and even some
- 7:10Speaker 1: guys serving right now. I just don't get it, do you.
- 7:14Speaker 3: No, Listen, it's it's it's it's a shame. You know,
- 7:17Speaker 3: after you retire off this job, you know, you have
- 7:20Speaker 3: yourself a pension. If you don't have something nice to say,
- 7:23Speaker 3: then just move on.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Just shut up exact.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Well, some of these guys feel like they were treated badly,
- 7:28Speaker 1: they were kicked off the force, and they've got all
- 7:31Speaker 1: kinds of issues with Eric Adams and other mayors.
- 7:33Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, I mean, leave
- 7:34Speaker 2: the current NYPD alone.
- 7:36Speaker 1: You guys are out there, all you guys every day
- 7:38Speaker 1: trying to trying to save this city. Okay, so you're
- 7:41Speaker 1: in touch with some of these legislators, you're ready to
- 7:45Speaker 1: go to Washington, d C. What else is next on
- 7:48Speaker 1: this agenda to try to make sure that this is done.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Well, that's all. That's that's that's the next step, sitting
- 7:54Speaker 3: down with them. Whether they want us to testify down
- 7:57Speaker 3: there or not, I don't know. I would love to
- 8:01Speaker 3: reach out to President Trump and and and explain what
- 8:05Speaker 3: what's going on. I don't think people really understand what
- 8:08Speaker 3: goes on unless they see the videos, the videos that
- 8:11Speaker 3: are out there.
- 8:13Speaker 1: How big is it, Scott, I mean, is it every day?
- 8:15Speaker 1: Are you getting a lot of cases every day? A
- 8:18Speaker 1: couple of weeks, Let's.
- 8:20Speaker 3: Absolutely, And it's not stopped. I mean they're making money
- 8:23Speaker 3: off at these these people on these with these videos.
- 8:27Speaker 3: They're having people like, uh, you know, different companies. Uh,
- 8:32Speaker 3: you know they've advertised on you know, on their videos
- 8:35Speaker 3: the moment. Yeah, that's what they're doing. And so we
- 8:39Speaker 3: had a little bit of a problem one of the companies.
- 8:41Speaker 3: We sent them a letter the other day. I don't
- 8:42Speaker 3: really want to name them who they are, and we
- 8:44Speaker 3: were very concerned, you know, you know that they were
- 8:48Speaker 3: utilizing these people for that. So, you know, the bottom
- 8:52Speaker 3: line is that's on next step. This is we have
- 8:54Speaker 3: to move forward. We have to get this done. I mean,
- 8:56Speaker 3: the day we walked off City Wall steps, they were
- 9:00Speaker 3: waiting for us at the gate and they were in
- 9:03Speaker 3: my face. They were saying all types of things all
- 9:07Speaker 3: the way back to the office. So they are not stopping.
- 9:11Speaker 3: They feel it's their first Amendment right. Their first Amendment
- 9:14Speaker 3: right is not to be in somebody's face. There's no
- 9:18Speaker 3: other profession ever that you could do this too and
- 9:23Speaker 3: get away with it. You think you would do the
- 9:24Speaker 3: tool construction worker. I'm actually sitting down with a bunch
- 9:28Speaker 3: of teams to lead us next week to get them
- 9:30Speaker 3: on board with this because it's important. That's more votes
- 9:34Speaker 3: if you believe in law enforcement, and we gotta make
- 9:37Speaker 3: sure we protect all the teamsters, whether your driver, whether
- 9:41Speaker 3: you drive a ups truck, or you're a painter or
- 9:44Speaker 3: your electrician, or where here to protect the people are
- 9:47Speaker 3: sitting in New York and they're on our side too good.
- 9:50Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that. All right, Well, I'll reach
- 9:52Speaker 1: out to the President. He should be on this show
- 9:54Speaker 1: in the next two weeks. I know you saw the text.
- 9:56Speaker 1: He said, I'm coming on.
- 9:57Speaker 2: I love you. You actually said love.
- 9:58Speaker 1: So I'll make sure to reach out to President Trump,
- 10:00Speaker 1: and when he comes on the show, I'll certainly bring
- 10:02Speaker 1: this up in an effort to help you, because I'm
- 10:05Speaker 1: tired of it too, man. I am sick and tired
- 10:07Speaker 1: of the disrespect that your officers have to face on
- 10:11Speaker 1: a daily basis in this rotten city. It all comes
- 10:15Speaker 1: from the mayor, who's the most anti cop mayor. He
- 10:18Speaker 1: makes Bill Deblasio look like Rudy Giuliani. And then you
- 10:21Speaker 1: get the governor. She does nothing, sits up there in
- 10:23Speaker 1: Buffalo watching you know the Jim Kelly tapes. So between
- 10:26Speaker 1: the two of these morons, the cops are being treated
- 10:29Speaker 1: worse and worse every day.
- 10:30Speaker 2: I'm not okay with it. Scott Monroe, You've got me
- 10:33Speaker 2: on your side. I'll do what I can do.
- 10:34Speaker 3: Okay, thank you and thanks WABC and everything you do.

- 10:45Speaker 3: not just in New York City, all through the state
- 10:47Speaker 3: and the country.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Now, Scott, we love you. You know, you really do
- 10:50Speaker 1: a tremendous job.
