• 0:42
  Speaker 2: in the courtyard, banging on their doors, garages, screaming stuff,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: yelling just nonsense, then laying on the floor spitting around
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: vibn The guy was obviously either on drugs or psychotic,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: so they called the police and one of the cops
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: was small. Even though in Italy they don't require the
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: cops to wear body cameras, this guy bought one from
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the police supplies in the United States, and this is
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: what's vindicating him. So It shows the police getting out
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: of the car going over to the guy, trying to
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: talk to him. The guy's going off, so then they
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: went to put the plastic cancuffs behind the guy just
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: to take him to the hospital. The guy's going crazy.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: It took three people to get him down. The guy
• 1:27

• 1:40
  Speaker 2: was crazy and he was on something, the people over
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: there are tearing up the place to ride, and his mother,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Elizabe Morocco, says, the police executed my son. She's thrown
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: gasoline on the fire. And meanwhile all the citizenry who
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: live in the housing complex who took videos with their
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: cell phones are saying that's not the case at all.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: The guy was going crazy, bringing down the vesting off
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: people's doors and everything in vincent.
• 2:10

  Speaker 1: It always has been.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: They are crazy.

  Speaker 1: I mean they I wouldn't set it's a beautiful city,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: but they are crazy. Comedies inn and they have been

  Speaker 1: for over one hundred years. I'm sorry, I just wanted.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: To set all my friends who live in Milan, they
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: called that the red zone.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is the red zone. One of the reasons
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: why my mother's family fled. They wanted to get away
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: from the gomutis they.

  Speaker 2: hammer and sickle, the flags and everything, it's sick. I
• 2:52

  Speaker 2: got the hell out.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Of the Yeah, otherwise they they they'll they'll start talking,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: they'll pick your brain. I made the mistake once of
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: answering a question. Somebody said, so you know politically in
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the US who you support, and I stupidly talked about it,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and that was it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I got to tack.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: T to put poison in your food.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, although the food is good if they don't poisons.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Go there. You look at the windows of the shops,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: you see the old ladies rolling out the dough to
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: make the totalini and everything. It's fantastic. The food is great.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Just make sure they don't have a knife in there.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Vincent, You're awesome. Enjoy down the shore this weekend. It's
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: perfect weather, buddy, have a great We have a great weekend.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: You did, they can't can't.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Bye bye, John and Norwalk. Good morning to.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: You, Good morning, Good morning Ken.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: How are you, sir?
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I am I am well. And by the way, I
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: think that you're doing a great job taking my place
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: while he's enjoying himself for the weekend.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Nobody could take Mark's places. I'm just sitting in the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: seat to keep it warm, but I appreciate that.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Well, you're doing a great job. Anyway, I have I
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: have one question, simple question, and if you have time,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I have a great knittin Yahu story. I'm just wondering
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: with Mandami announcing that people should get out in the streets.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: If net and Yahoo comes to New York City and
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: demonstrate if something happens to him, if something happens to people,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: if buildings start getting burned, cars start getting overturned, that
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: kind of thing, wouldn't he be responsible for this? I mean,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: they they try to pin uh the insurrection on Trump falsely,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: wouldn't that be about basically the same thing?
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Well, you would think, but it can't be. Elected officials
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: are immune from that. But yeah, you would think if
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the person is out there egging it on, I mean,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: isn't that inciting a riot potentially? I mean he could
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: always say no, I was just advising people to go
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: out and exercise their freedom of speech. That's that would
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: be his defense. But yes, you and I know know
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: differently that it literally is pouring gas on a fire,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and he wants, I think in the back of his
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: mind he wants to recreate the summer of twenty twenty
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and see it all over again, and God forbid, we
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: don't want to see that.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're absolutely right. And I just think
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: he's really just a horrible person. Thank God. I don't
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: live in New York, but I do live in Connecticut unfortunately,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: So it's you know which one is worse? Would you
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: like to hear my quick?
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Can you do it in like thirty seconds? Because then
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: we had to go to commercial Sure.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I can A long long time ago Netta, who was
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: I believe it was the Defense Minister? And Wolf Blitzer
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: from CNN was doing an interview with him, and at
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: that time, while he was doing the interview, they started
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: getting rocket attacks or mortar attacks, whatever it was. And NetTel,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: who stood there, he wasn't really moving, and wolf Blitzer
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: jumped underneath the table. I mean he was really scared.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: And who had that grin on his face and he said,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: mister Blitzer, you have to understand, in Israel, diplomacy is
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: a contact sport. And I've loved Netta who ever since,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: ever since I heard him say that, I thought it
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: was wonderful.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he put his money where his mouth is.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: They all served in the military. They know what it's like.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe there's something to that that we should all think about.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Remember when every president at some point served in the military.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: That's it, that's right. I served in the Middle I
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: was in there for a Semitic and I didn't you
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: know my year in Vietnam.
• 6:50

  Speaker 5: New York City police sigeant thirty six years wow. And
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: someone one said to me, why don't I don't understand

  Speaker 5: you're right, you don't understand. I said, the thread is
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: a gun, a knife. But bet I'm looking at the
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: threat and I'm gonna miss his legs. The best place
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: to shoot is set a mask. That's how you stop
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: them play.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my dad was a cup My dad was He
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: was Westchester County Police, so they didn't see the action
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: you would have seen. But yeah, he said, that's what
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you shoot at the biggest target. So that if that's
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: their stomach, their chest, that's what you're going on. You
• 7:40

  Speaker 5: whatever they do with you. You gotta look at the
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: thread too.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Your job is to stop the force. Your job is
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to stop what's happening right then, it's not to let's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: inflict the least amount of harm. If you're gonna pull
• 7:58

• 8:00
  Speaker 3: And it's not.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: About well, let's hope he'll get scared by it. That's
