Old WABC alumni will 5 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: talk about that later on not my place to be 6 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: any longer because it's always bashing Kurdish there.

What is that the miracle 11 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: on thirty fourth Street, you know where that crazed woman 12 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: walked in and stabbed a tourists from California multiple times. 13 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: Thank god she survived. Yeah, no, not see. I'm always 14 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: getting people coming up to me actually talking about crime 15 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: and things that are going wrong. Understood, understood. You see 16 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 1: the red beret, you see the red satin jacket that's 17 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: expected them in the subways and streets every day. But 18 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: last night, I once again attended in Washington Heights our 19 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: annual Junior Guardian Angels Christmas extravagance for Lease Navidad. They're 20 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 1: predominantly Dominicans. A lot of those kids We give remedial 21 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: training after school at our headquarters there, you know, to 22 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: get them to be able to speak English and assimilate 23 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: to math, do the things that maybe they're not getting 24 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: in the public school system, which are many instances, is 25 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: failing our kids with spending credible amounts of money forty 26 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: one billion dollars alone in the city. That's one third 27 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: of the budget. But our program and a lot of 28 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: other programs around the city nourish these children who were 29 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: in need, many of them without fathers. The mothers were 30 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: present or the older brothers or sisters, and it was great. 31 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: But I also ended up doing a moonwalk, so to speak, 32 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: because everywhere I went last night, and I'm always in 33 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: the subways streets, I was involved in a flashback. Let 34 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: me you explain. I was not in a drug induce psychosis. 35 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: I had not been smoking Maui Wawi or Hindu kush. 36 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: Like the former mayor who Discratsia to build a bosio 37 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: who's in his midlife crisis. My god, that guy cannot 38 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: you know, he should keep his rocket in his pocket 39 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: because the guy is just chasing skirts all over the place. Anyway, 40 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: The point being is I'm up there, I'm watching Santi 41 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: Claus give out presents to the children of the Junior 42 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: Guardian Angels program, and I'm thinking about ten years. Do 43 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: you know who would come in and entertain the children? 44 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,639 Speaker 1: Because the leader there, super Stretcher's been with me since 45 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: he was fifteen years old. Fifteen years old in the 46 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: Bronx nineteen seventy nine. He runs the program. You know 47 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: he had had in Jordan Neely. Now you may say, 48 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: who's Jordan Neely? Think about that? Think, think, think, think moonwalk, 49 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: Think Michael Jackson. He lived right across the street in 50 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: Washington Heights sink back May one, twenty twenty three at 51 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: Saint Jordan Neely, who was best known as an impersonator 52 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: of Michael Jackson. He would do the moonwalk and sing 53 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: Billy Jean ended up in that subway, remember with Daniel Penny, 54 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: the marine who then ended up choking him out because 55 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: he was so emotionally disturbed. Been living in the subway 56 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: and a dysfunctional way because he was emotionally disturbed for years, 57 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: for years, going through garbage cans, trying to find a 58 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: place to relieve himself, like so many other who live 59 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: in our subterranean. Dante's inferno that we call the subway. 60 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: And there's a group out there, the Bowery Residence Committee. 61 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: You should all know. We spend millions and millions of 62 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: dollars for them. It's part of the nonprofit industrial complex 63 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: dealing with homeless. There's five hundred contracts out there, various agencies. 64 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: They are always kickbacks, always subcontracts. Really needs to be investigated. 65 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: But this group goes out there in these orange Sherbet jackets. 66 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: You almost never see them. I've seen them on occasion. 67 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: And their job isn't to care for the emotionally disturbed. 68 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: They're the homeless. It's to count them. Yeah, count it 69 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: once and count it to And in reference to this 70 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: very disturbed young man, Jordan Neely, who was quite the 71 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: entertainer ten years ago before unfortunately he died in the 72 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: arms of Daniel Penny, who did not want to kill him. 73 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: Was quite the Michael Jackson impersonator. So you want to 74 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: know what happened in between that causted him to fall 75 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: into the abyss. And even though he came into contact 76 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: with many homeless outreach persons of this Bowery Residence Committee 77 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: that has failed us over and overtaking our money and 78 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: provided little of any service. He was put on a 79 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:42,559 Speaker 1: list of the fifty most dangerous emotionally disturbed persons who 80 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: live in the city subway system at like four hundred 81 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: and seventy two platforms and stations. I've been to them all, imagine, 82 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: and making a list, not taking him to a mental 83 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: health care facility, not getting him help, but just putting 84 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: him on a list and checking it twice, madn Am I. 85 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: And then on that fateful afternoon on May first, twenty 86 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: twenty three, Jordan nearly comes into that car, that f 87 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: train car right in the Lower east Side where I 88 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: was yesterday. I think he was at Broadway Lefiad starts 89 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: terrorizing the passengers. Daniel Penny was living in the Lower 90 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: east Side going for a job interview. Did not look 91 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: like your typical jarhead marine. No, no, he was very 92 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: very much like almost a hippie so to speak, very bohemian. 93 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: Puts him in a show cold. Unfortunately, Jordans dies and 94 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: he goes for the interview or the first police precinct. 95 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: The DTS say, okay, you did the right thing. And 96 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: then days later who decides to windem Alvin Bragg, who 97 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: turns all criminals loose, but in dts, those that are 98 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: defending themselves and everyone else. You know that Jose Alba, 99 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: remember in the bodega, who unfortunately had to kill the 100 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: guy who came over the counter, who was threatening his life. 101 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: It goes on and on, but this case in particular, 102 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: it's ten years ago. He was entertaining junior Guardian Angels 103 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: from time to time with his skill level. He had skills, 104 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: and so I was like moonwalking back and saying, you 105 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: know how long this has been going on? We have 106 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: all these emotionally disturbed persons, We have all these homeless 107 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: nothing being done, nothing by Deblasio and his griff of 108 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: wife Charlene. Remember they took one and a half billion 109 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: dollars over five years for a program called Thrive. They 110 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: never helped one emotionally disturbed person, never investigated because it's 111 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: a one party system in New York City and New 112 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: York State. That's why you need a two party system, 113 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: if not more the checks and balances. So that was 114 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: my experience there. Then I jump on the A train 115 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: and I head down to East Broadway Guardian Angel headquarters 116 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: in Chinatown to accompany them as they go out and 117 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: they handle the emotionally disturbed and the homeless, many of 118 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: whom reside in Sarah Roosevelt Park. Now some of you 119 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: probably have been through that over the years. Goes between 120 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: Canal Street and He's housed and Forsyth and Christie, and 121 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: there are all kinds of rules and regulations. Is he 122 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: let me tell you something, if you ever go there. 123 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: It says big side pets are prohibited from the park, 124 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: but not drug dealers, drug users, or pervs pedophiles. It 125 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: says no scooters, And yet you see scooters going through 126 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: like mad crazed individuals who are ready to knock you down. 127 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: And it's just a miserable park. Miserable park, lots of problems, 128 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: lots of emotionally disturb lots of homeless. So we go 129 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: through there and we make sure things are cool, calm 130 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 1: and collected, and we have Narkan with us. You know 131 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: why these people are on the verge maybe of dying 132 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: having taken in fentanyl. Later on we're going to discuss, 133 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: you know, Venezuela, we're on the cusp of starting this 134 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: war supposedly because Maduro is helping to export the fentanyl 135 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: into our country. That's a lie. That's like weapons of 136 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: mass destruction. Remember we got invade the Rock Saddam Hussein, right, 137 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: Dick Sheney, who was saying, oh, well, you know, forget 138 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: Saddam Hussein, you might as well look at how Kaida 139 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: there Osama been. Like they trying to conflate the two. 140 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: We're still looking for those weapons of mass destruction. 141 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 2: Right. 142 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 1: There's no fentinol coming out of Venezuela. If anything, it's cocaine. 143 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: But that's one of the rationalsis. We are on the 144 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: cusp of war as troops being assembled on the island 145 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: of Puerto ri They're off in the Atlantic Ocean in 146 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 1: different parts, ready to strike a task force with a 147 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: aircraft carrier, the Gerald Ford and others. By the way, 148 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: have they renamed any of our battleships in honor of 149 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump? Apparently he wants new battleships named in 150 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: his honor. He wants everything named in his honor. Right 151 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: there it is, see the Kennedy Center, it's now the 152 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: Trump Kennedy Center. He wants to coin You know, generally 153 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: these things happen once you're dead. No, I don't need 154 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: to hear that. Uh, Like the tappan Zee Bridge right 155 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: there was renamed in the waning moments of a legislative 156 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: station by Andrew evilised Cuomo the Mario coumol Bridge. To me, 157 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: it'll always be the tappanzee, which which tad happens once 158 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: you're dead. Trump wants all these things while he's alive. 159 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: Oh boy, But let's discuss that, because we are at 160 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: a point with this holiday Christmas extravaganz in New Year's 161 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: where a lot of men and women are overseas and 162 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: it comes on the cusp of another war that is 163 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: raging in the Ukraine. Putin, responsible for invading the ukrains 164 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: Zlenski did not take the opportunity to leave. He stood 165 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: the Ukrainian's battle back somewhat at an impasse. Putin wants 166 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: Zelenski to say no Mass, no Mass, and the carnage continues. 167 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: All the carnage continues. And it was interesting that Zelenski, 168 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: right before the holiday, said, hey, I tell you what 169 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: Putin wants the eastern part of the Ukraine. Instead of 170 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: arguing over what you get and we get. If there 171 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: is peace, an armistice, why don't we set up a 172 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: DMZ de militarized ump. It was a certain number of 173 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: miles whould separate both sides, and then of course there 174 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: would be troops that would guarantee the Ukrainian security on 175 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: the NATO side. Now, let's explore that, because that's a 176 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: pretty damn good idea to stop this carnage, because it 177 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: doesn't seem like at this point anything is going to 178 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 1: do that. So a neutral area in between. And it 179 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: sort of reminded me as I do the moonwalk, I 180 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: go into the time machine slowly, I turn step by step, 181 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: and hey, we're still involved. In Korea, the Korean Peninsula 182 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: thirty eighth parallel, there is what one hundred and sixty 183 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: mile long wall barbed wire three miles wide in between, 184 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: in which there are sharpshooters on the North Korean side 185 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: if you attempt to bolt the cross to leave, to 186 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: leave the horror of Kim Jung mentally Ill's evil seat, 187 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: that cult in North Korea, which barely has about it 188 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: one million, two hundred thousand soldiers ready to go to battle, 189 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: if not more. South Korea has four hundred and fifty 190 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: thousand on their side of the DMZ, which was set 191 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: up just about the time I was born in nineteen 192 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: fifty four, twenty eight thousand United States troops across one 193 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty miles to keep the peace. Hopefully you'll 194 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: all understand the sacrifice that those men and women are 195 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: making and being on the front line, knowing that any 196 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: moments especially there's a little portion there where you saw 197 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: that President Donald Trump in his first term, walk like 198 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: halfway across, and then you saw a guy who was 199 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: in need of ozempic who was at the evil see 200 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: to Kim Jung mentally ill, who's coming across. They shook 201 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: hands there and you have the North Korean guards staring 202 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: at the South Korean guards, I fortegating, mad dogging one another. 203 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: Do you know that war is still going on? It 204 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: was never ended. It was called the police action. 205 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 3: Yea. 206 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: And the Americans died. Fifty two thousand Americans died in 207 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: that Korean War. How many thousands were taking his POW's 208 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: And I think once there was the armistice, remember didn't end. 209 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: The war was to continue. It's officially a war now. 210 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: I think there were twenty one soldiers who decided to 211 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: stay back in North Korea. Boy, I think they're in 212 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: need of a psychiatric Can you imagine that I want 213 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: to stay in North Korea? But that's where a DMZ 214 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: exists as we speak. I'll never forget. I was going 215 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: down from California from San Francisco, where I had a 216 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: chapter of The Guardian Angels to Los Angeles, right beautiful. 217 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: On the coach stopped in Carmel where Clint Eastwood remember 218 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, He was the 219 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: mayor at that time, continuing to make films. I remember 220 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: an old codger. They was telling me, Oh, yeah, you know, Clint, 221 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: he was in the Korean War. He was, oh, tell me, 222 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: you know, I want to sop up all the information. 223 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: So yeah, he was stationed at Fort Ord. He was 224 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: a swimming instructor, he said. But it came into handy 225 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: use because he was on a flight that crashed. I 226 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: don't know if it was in the ocean somewhere, it 227 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: was in water, and he swam to shore, saved his life. 228 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: But he did service like so many other men and 229 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: women stationed around the world this Christmas New Year's holiday 230 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: that oftentimes we just don't think of at all, don't 231 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: think of at all. And then, of course there was 232 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: the DMC that I grew up with, like so many 233 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: of the baby boomers in the cold War. The Wall, 234 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: the Berlin Wall, in fact, I think it was put 235 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: up in nineteen sixty one on the orders of Nikita 236 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: kruz Jef remember said he would bury us at the 237 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: General Assembly in a drunken stupor too much vodka, he 238 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: took his shoe off, he banged the table, he said, 239 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: we will bury you. And man, whenever you took a 240 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: subway or a bus there was there was an area 241 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: that showed that on television, and every day we'd have 242 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: to get underneath our our classroom tables that we worked 243 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: from desks, and we had to put our hands behind 244 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: our next and kiss Artuka sardupa air rage ciren will 245 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: go on. You never know, the big one could be 246 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: dropped at any moment in the midst of the Cold War, 247 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: and how many many women were assigned to guarding that 248 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: wall on the western side West Germany obviously much larger 249 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: than East Germany. But helping the Stasi at that time 250 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: was who Vladimir putin kg B guy on the eastern side. 251 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: And that all came to me because I remember, I 252 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: remember the scenes of the guard towers, the trenches, the 253 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:44,719 Speaker 1: death strip that separated East from West because the Communists 254 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: were worried that so many of their people each day 255 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: were fleeing to the West and freedom, about one thousand 256 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 1: a day, that they decided to cut him down with 257 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 1: machine gun fire if you did try to cross over 258 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: for freedom. Some of the buildings actually were partially on 259 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: one side and another of the wall. I happened to 260 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: be able to see it up close and personal after 261 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: the wall came down. I was that nineteen eighty nine 262 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: Bush forty one asleep at the wheel, CIA asleep at 263 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: the wheel. They had no idea this was happening. It 264 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: was part of Gorbachev, you know, with a weinstain on 265 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: his head, the glass nose, Perestroika. Communism was falling, and 266 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: we didn't move quickly enough to start teaching those folks 267 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: about democracy and capitalism. We were just stunned. So by 268 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: the time I got there organizing Guardian Angels. In Berlin, 269 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: you could take the Uban and the s Bahn one 270 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: was the underground subway that went from West Berlin to 271 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 1: East Berlin, and then the elevated and the trains were 272 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: graffeited just like they were in the nineteen seventies and 273 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: eighties here, and I was stunned as I walked through Berlin, 274 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: walking through parks and plaza where everybody thought, oh this 275 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: is this is the American Way graffiti.

So I'd 519 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: like you just to give everybody here an idea who 520 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: you are and whe you came from as long term listeners. 521 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: He at seven ten WA. 522 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 2: Well that's a pretty tall order, but let's see. So 523 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 2: where I came from. I grew up in Long Island. 524 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 2: I graduated from Stonybrook, I went to law school in 525 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 2: Brooklyn and once I got to Brooklyn, I never looked back. 526 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 2: You know, I love being in the city, and living 527 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 2: in Brooklyn was the first time that I had discovered 528 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 2: all of these cats that wander around outside, and that's 529 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:41,320 Speaker 2: when I first discovered the concept of the colony cats 530 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,399 Speaker 2: and all the people out there who were taking care 531 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 2: of them, and you know, had like regular groups of 532 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,320 Speaker 2: outdoor cats because as you know, the shelter system is 533 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 2: so filled up, and unfortunately, you know, they're they're a 534 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 2: kill shelter in the city, so you know, they bring 535 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,439 Speaker 2: them in, they warehouse them a bit, and then after 536 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 2: that happens, they euphanize them pretty quickly, even when they 537 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,400 Speaker 2: don't really have any significant types of problems. So you know, 538 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 2: that's not a great place to be. And I realize 539 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 2: that there's this incredible community of people out there who 540 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 2: are doing exactly what you know, it's passionate. I'm passionate about, 541 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 2: which is taking care of them, realizing that they can 542 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 2: live outside as long as you know, it's done within, 543 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 2: like the structure of the colony, which is making sure 544 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 2: they're spade and neutered, providing them with houses, especially in 545 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 2: inclement weather like right now where it's cold outside, and 546 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 2: you know, feeding them on a regular basis, so this 547 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 2: way they have a food source. So I mean, you know, 548 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 2: I guess that's the And then need I met you 549 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 2: about ten years ago or so, and you know we've 550 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 2: been together ever since. So that's that's me in a nutshell. 551 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 2: I guess. 552 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:50,359 Speaker 3: Yeah. 553 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: I remember you were living in Sunset Park at the time, 554 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: and you said, there are cats living in the alleyway, 555 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: you know, swear all the garage, and I said, I 556 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: didn't see any. I walked through the alleyway, I didn't 557 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 1: see anny. And then you walked through and you made 558 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 1: this sound like the female version of Doctor Doolittle. And 559 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 1: I mean, cats were coming out of every Nookrannian corner, 560 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: and they were rubbing up against your leg, the tails 561 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: in the air, all of them with all of their 562 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: own unique personalities as I observe them. And there are 563 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,279 Speaker 1: so many people just like yourself, mostly women, some men 564 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:38,760 Speaker 1: out of pocket who care for these animals, sometimes in distress. 565 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,240 Speaker 1: Will also serve as a barrier because their presence keeps 566 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 1: the rats, the mice, the rodents away, and so they 567 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: earned their keep many times over without there having to 568 00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: be pest asides. And all other kinds of alternatives they 569 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,320 Speaker 1: used to try to eliminate the rats and the mice 570 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,919 Speaker 1: that you'll never eliminated. You could have daytime with them, 571 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 1: but you can keep them at bay. What was it 572 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: like when people would turn to you and it'll call 573 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 1: you a cat lady or disparagingly make fun of you 574 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 1: because you and others were reaching into your pocket spending 575 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: your own money to care for these animals. 576 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, well, first of all, I don't get 577 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 2: offended by people. I you know, I usually try to 578 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 2: explain it to them, because you know, the misconception I 579 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 2: would I would get a lot of times is like 580 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 2: somehow I brought them there, like I created these cats, 581 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,879 Speaker 2: and I try to you know, you have to explain no, no, no, 582 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 2: there's so many of them that live outside all the time, 583 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 2: and what I'm doing is basically caring for the ones 584 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 2: that are here. And if if for some reason, if 585 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 2: someone calls, like the you know, the shelter to come 586 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,600 Speaker 2: pick them up, it just creates a vacuum in that area, 587 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 2: and then what happens is other cats in the area 588 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,359 Speaker 2: move in. There's just so many cats, you don't see 589 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 2: them all the time, so I'm you know, I'm pretty 590 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 2: tough skinned, like I wouldn't really take it when people 591 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,640 Speaker 2: are getting annoyed. But that's why you also have to 592 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 2: make sure you take care of these things in a 593 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 2: decent basis. So for example, you know, you don't leave 594 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 2: the food around, you don't do things that are going 595 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 2: to clearly bother neighbors, and you know, create nuisance. So 596 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 2: as long as and again that's also why you want 597 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 2: to make sure that you get the cats fixed. I mean, 598 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 2: that's essential. You can't keep having the kittens around. And 599 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 2: then plus, when they're fixed, they calm down a lot. 600 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 2: I mean, the the aggression that happens with the male 601 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 2: cats when they're not fixed, I mean, it's all territorial. 602 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 2: So you know, you can get their behavior to a 603 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 2: point where you know they're i mean again they're they're 604 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 2: the same as the indoor cats. It's just they need, 605 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 2: you know, the very specific attention because it's a tough 606 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 2: it's a tough time out there. You know, there's a 607 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 2: lot of cats that just inavertently stumble on poisons, things 608 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 2: of that nature, Like I would have to explain to people, like, 609 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 2: you know, don't inadvertently throw things down because that happens 610 00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,320 Speaker 2: a lot too. I mean, you know, it always bothers 611 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 2: me in the winter. Now, obviously you see a lot 612 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,760 Speaker 2: of people throwing down the like rock salt. The city 613 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 2: throws down the rock salt. That's actually dangerous for animals 614 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 2: because they use like the cheapest variety. So you know, 615 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 2: you have this. I mean, it's a tough life for 616 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 2: them out there. So you know, I just you know, 617 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 2: I'm very compassionate. You know, I have people who you know, 618 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 2: you know, I feel like everyone can understand it if 619 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 2: you explain it to them, and then if they don't 620 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,240 Speaker 2: understand it after that, then to heck with them, because 621 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 2: you know, they're living creatures and I can't see any 622 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 2: justification for letting someone's dislike of them ever stop the 623 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,080 Speaker 2: behavior of Karen for animals. 624 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, what I loved about Wisconsin when I was up 625 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 1: there organizing Guardian Angels and Milwaukee is they don't use 626 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,919 Speaker 1: rock salt because they had, you know, years ago, they 627 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,920 Speaker 1: had feet of snow. It's not like that as it 628 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: used to be. But they would put down a brine 629 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: of parmesan cheese, a brine really yeah, and naturally, I 630 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: mean even some people, you know, it's whole parmesan cheese. 631 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 1: Oh they'd be down there, you know, licking the asphalt. 632 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: But there were so many other alternatives. And I think 633 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 1: one singular thing that comes across is I've noticed some 634 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 1: time to time you'll be walking the streets where we 635 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 1: live and you'll see some pigeons in distress and you'll 636 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: feed them. Some people will refer them as rats with wings, 637 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: others as basically the official bird of New York City. 638 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: Fact that i'd been elected mayor, as you know, on 639 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,359 Speaker 1: the campaign trail, I said we would have taken the 640 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: New York City flag. It's like some indescript bird on there. 641 00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,240 Speaker 1: I would put a pigeon. That's what New York City 642 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:36,760 Speaker 1: is known for. And I noticed some people would be 643 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: talking and say she's feeding her pigeons, and I will 644 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: walk off to them and I'd say, you got a 645 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 1: problem with that? Oh no, Curtis, No, no, no no. You 646 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,720 Speaker 1: know that's my wife, Nancy. You got a problem with that? No, 647 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:53,960 Speaker 1: no no. And they they have spikes that they they 648 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:55,840 Speaker 1: put on the windowsills. 649 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 2: The aggression against the pigeons, I find really really just 650 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 2: to your point. The spikes that are allowed to be 651 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 2: put up and then now you have pigeons that are maimed. 652 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,640 Speaker 2: I mean that to me. I can't believe that's even 653 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 2: legal that that happened. But I definitely catch a lot 654 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:17,200 Speaker 2: of guff for throwing down the bird seat with the pigeons. 655 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 2: But then usually the people who are saying something to 656 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:23,000 Speaker 2: me are walking their dog who's urinating on the sidewalk, 657 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 2: so I'm not really sure where they are on their 658 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 2: high horse telling me anything about cleanliness of animals. So 659 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 2: you know, to each your own, I guess right, yeah, 660 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 2: And it's. 661 00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: A much better remedy. If you don't want pigeons flocking around, 662 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 1: you just put up a plastic owl. It's like in 663 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,799 Speaker 1: corn fields when they put up scarecrows. It has the 664 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:49,359 Speaker 1: same impact without damaging the pigeons. And it's a horrific 665 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,919 Speaker 1: death that they suffer because they get impaled. And some 666 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 1: people in their minds, you know, that's a OK. But 667 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 1: I think the broader issue is you know, and again 668 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,120 Speaker 1: it's what I based both of my campaigns on and 669 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 1: running for New York. One of the many issues animal welfare. 670 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 1: At Mahatma Gandhi. You know, there will be people who 671 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 1: criticize him because they hate animals, said that a society 672 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 1: that does not take care of its animals does not 673 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,799 Speaker 1: take care of its people. And you have seen how 674 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: much time and energy we in the Guardian Angels, with 675 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 1: your help, have put into caring for the homeless and 676 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,920 Speaker 1: the emotionally disturbed because we don't take care of them, 677 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,400 Speaker 1: and we don't take care of our animals. The abuse 678 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 1: the dogs that are raised to fight and kill and maim, 679 00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,080 Speaker 1: and nothing is done to stop that. As you mentioned, 680 00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,360 Speaker 1: with spading and neutering, it would go a long way 681 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 1: and keeping these many animals God's creatures out of harm's way. 682 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and again that's the whole goalpost of everything. 683 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 2: You know, you don't want to have the breeder animals. 684 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 2: I mean, there's no reason to keep creating you know, 685 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 2: these you know, dogs and cats when the reality is 686 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 2: there's not enough home for them all together. So I 687 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,879 Speaker 2: absolutely think that that has to stop right away. I mean, 688 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 2: you can't be having not go on. 689 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,879 Speaker 1: Well, we'll be able to travel the vision with your 690 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 1: mother best who just celebrated her birthday, who I believe 691 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 1: out in Bohemia really introduced you to the life of 692 00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:30,040 Speaker 1: people who dedicate themselves to animals, Would that be correct 693 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:30,319 Speaker 1: on that. 694 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, My mom's like first job, believe it or not, 695 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,800 Speaker 2: when she, you know, got a job in Long Island 696 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:42,279 Speaker 2: was working at an animal shelter, so you know, like 697 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,920 Speaker 2: a veterinarian office rather, so during the weekends when she 698 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 2: would be working, I would go in with her. So 699 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 2: it was as though they were all like I had 700 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of cats and dogs that I could 701 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,239 Speaker 2: visit because they were the ones who were sort of 702 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 2: waiting in the the kennels like if either they were 703 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 2: recovering or maybe they were for So that was actually 704 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,319 Speaker 2: very cool. I mean, And I also grew up with 705 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 2: having a dog and cats in the household, so you know, 706 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 2: I'm just very familiar with them in general. And yeah, 707 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 2: I mean, and you know, of course, growing up in 708 00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,480 Speaker 2: Long Island it's a lot more nature, so you know, 709 00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 2: you would, you know, you see things more often. Like 710 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,200 Speaker 2: I had a neighbor next to me who had, believe 711 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 2: it or not, chickens and roosters and things like that, 712 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 2: like a little farm going on, so you know, it's 713 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 2: just a much more natural environment to see these animals. 714 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: Well, the defining moment for me with you and your 715 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,719 Speaker 1: passion for animals was in that first campaign when I 716 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 1: ran against Eric Adams twenty twenty one, and I warned 717 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,320 Speaker 1: everybody he would be corrupt and we would have chaos, 718 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 1: but nobody listened. About halfway through the campaign and you 719 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 1: were scrolling on the internet the death row list that 720 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,720 Speaker 1: they put up from the Animal Care and Control the shelters, 721 00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,920 Speaker 1: because these are killed shelters, they are not no care shelters. 722 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,839 Speaker 1: And you said, I gotta run to East New York 723 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,759 Speaker 1: Glennon Boulevard to the animal shelter there that it's now 724 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 1: closed to rescue this cat. And I remember you had 725 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 1: cold and they said, yeah, well we're opening of five. 726 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 1: And I said, Nancy, you can't go down there on 727 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:25,239 Speaker 1: your own. I mean, that's right by Saint Ford Shnada's, 728 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:30,479 Speaker 1: that's on Linen Boulevard. That psychology. No, you can't go there. 729 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:36,799 Speaker 1: That's Oh no, that's Psycher sells. They have drive by shootings. 730 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with you. We got in the animal 731 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 1: welfare van of the Guardian Angels and we were driving 732 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 1: halfway there. We were on Woodhaven Boulevard. It was like 733 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: two o'clock in the afternoon, and they called you and 734 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 1: just relate to our listeners all throughout the Tristate area 735 00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: in the world, the insensitivity of the people. They're knowing 736 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 1: you were on your way to rescue this cat that 737 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 1: was on death row. 738 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:09,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I had already basically secured the rescue of 739 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:13,200 Speaker 2: this this small kitten, and those are the ones that are, 740 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 2: believe it or not, first to be put down in 741 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:16,759 Speaker 2: the shelter's a lot of times because if you don't 742 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,799 Speaker 2: have someone to bottle feed them, they you know, they 743 00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,239 Speaker 2: don't have full time staff like that. So we were 744 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,759 Speaker 2: on our way and I got I got to call 745 00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,960 Speaker 2: that the medical team. Ultimately they decided, well, I don't 746 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 2: think this cat's gonna, you know, farewell, so we're just 747 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,200 Speaker 2: going to euthanize it, like you know. And that to 748 00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:38,600 Speaker 2: me was incredible because when you adopt these cats, a 749 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 2: lot of times when they do have any potential medical issues, 750 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,240 Speaker 2: they're not putting the bill for any of the medical care. 751 00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:50,239 Speaker 2: So it's whether it's on them to you know, relinquish 752 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,640 Speaker 2: the animal, knowing that any medical care you have to supply. 753 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's no cost to them to allow 754 00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 2: you to take that animal home. So again, they just 755 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,680 Speaker 2: decided well, the second look, and we don't really think 756 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 2: this this cat's gonna you know, farewell, So we're just 757 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,839 Speaker 2: gonna go ahead and euthanize it, knowing I was on 758 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,239 Speaker 2: my way to get this cat. So that was really heartbreaking. 759 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: Remember people need to know. My wife was crying for days. 760 00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 1: She pulled the vehicle over and I vowed to you 761 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 1: right then, I said, if I become the mayor, this 762 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 1: becomes a priority. Can you remember. 763 00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,440 Speaker 2: And then the other side note to that was because 764 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 2: you wound up mentioning that story about what happened with 765 00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,719 Speaker 2: the animal care and control, right away they pulled my 766 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,160 Speaker 2: ability to actually get these animals from the shelter as 767 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 2: like a stick of to you type moment, apparently because 768 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:44,879 Speaker 2: they don't like when people tell the truth about what's 769 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 2: going on in the shelter system. So right away they 770 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,240 Speaker 2: took me off the list of being able to adopt 771 00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,200 Speaker 2: these animals. So that was a real nice touch. 772 00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 1: So to all of our critics shout there, including the 773 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:58,320 Speaker 1: President of the United States, I remember Lush Maria Bartoloma. 774 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 1: He was on the show Fox Business in the White 775 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,520 Speaker 1: House and he was railing against you and I for 776 00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,840 Speaker 1: rescuing cats and if we were, if I was elected, 777 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 1: they would be in Gracie Mansion. And I'm saying to 778 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:18,920 Speaker 1: myself while I'm watching him almost with great delight, attacking us, saying, 779 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:22,319 Speaker 1: excuse me, mister president, you're realize in the room you're 780 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:26,240 Speaker 1: in now, was another great Republican president called Teddy Roosevelt 781 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,640 Speaker 1: who had eighty animals at the White House when he 782 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 1: was president, dogs and cats in the White House, right 783 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:37,799 Speaker 1: where you're sitting now speaking to Maria Bartoloma. But of 784 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:41,160 Speaker 1: course he wouldn't care about that. Who cares only about 785 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump? Up next, we got it. We have to 786 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,480 Speaker 1: have this conversation. It's the lead story today about student 787 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 1: loans garnishing. The United States will bail out countries like Argentina, 788 00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:59,120 Speaker 1: corrupt as they are, but our country will not bail 789 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:03,160 Speaker 1: out those who were in debt because of student loans. 790 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,239 Speaker 1: We'll get an update from Nancy Slee Wes.

I'm a baby boomer, 827 00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:32,799 Speaker 1: but your generations of Millennials and Gen Zas have been 828 00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,399 Speaker 1: just destroyed. The American dream has been robbed from you 829 00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:40,600 Speaker 1: if you got sucked into these student loans. And now 830 00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:44,040 Speaker 1: basically the president the government is saying, we're coming after 831 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:48,880 Speaker 1: you if you've defaulted.

Could you explain how 836 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:06,600 Speaker 1: this American dream has been robbed from so many of 837 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,600 Speaker 1: your peers and your generation. 838 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:14,799 Speaker 2: I mean, i'd say just the excess of burden some 839 00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:20,239 Speaker 2: student loans. That's the really most surprising part to me 840 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,040 Speaker 2: that when I when I got out and you know, again, 841 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,640 Speaker 2: you're kind of going through the motions. It's you know, 842 00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,919 Speaker 2: it's it's kind of forced on you in a way 843 00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,000 Speaker 2: as you're going through you know, junior high high school, 844 00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:34,239 Speaker 2: like obviously you have to go to college, Like how 845 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,880 Speaker 2: else would you expect to get any sort of job 846 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,239 Speaker 2: of values that you're going to need to have in 847 00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,960 Speaker 2: the future. So, you know, and they're very quick to 848 00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,759 Speaker 2: throw paperwork in front of you, where, well, this is 849 00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:47,720 Speaker 2: how you go. You just sign. 850 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:48,000 Speaker 3: You know. 851 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,279 Speaker 2: It's like, you know again, I think it's very hard 852 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,760 Speaker 2: to comprehend when you're you know, like I was barely 853 00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 2: eighteen I think when I signed it, because I graduated 854 00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,680 Speaker 2: it was July. You know, I turn eighteen July, and 855 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,600 Speaker 2: you know, you're basically taking on this level of debt 856 00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:07,200 Speaker 2: that is really incomprehensible and by the time you actually 857 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,520 Speaker 2: graduate from school. What really surprised me was that the 858 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,920 Speaker 2: amount that I owed was way more than what I 859 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,680 Speaker 2: even borrowed. So you know, they they front end it 860 00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:21,480 Speaker 2: with the interest, so it'll take you, you know, years, 861 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,640 Speaker 2: like paying the normal payment that you have to pay, 862 00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,719 Speaker 2: it'll take you years just to get down to what 863 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:29,680 Speaker 2: you initially borrowed in the first place. And you know, 864 00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 2: they kind of have it where it's you know, like 865 00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,080 Speaker 2: sort of based a little bit on your income, like 866 00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,359 Speaker 2: the federal loans, at least, you know, they they try 867 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:38,920 Speaker 2: to be a little bit more flexible in terms of 868 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,960 Speaker 2: what your salary is. So you know, they have like 869 00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,560 Speaker 2: they call it like income sensitive and you know, just 870 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:49,560 Speaker 2: all based upon that. But the reality is so anytime 871 00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,240 Speaker 2: that you start to make a little bit more money, 872 00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:55,160 Speaker 2: the student loan increases, like, you know, incredibly more So. Again, 873 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,359 Speaker 2: when I started working at the law firm and I 874 00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:00,680 Speaker 2: was making an okay salary the first time, that's when 875 00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,520 Speaker 2: the student loan. And that's also when the Obama Care 876 00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 2: kicked in because I didn't have health insurance. So all 877 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,040 Speaker 2: of a sudden, now I was getting a penalty for 878 00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,800 Speaker 2: not having the health insurance and I had this massive 879 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,520 Speaker 2: student loan every month. I mean, you can bail your 880 00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 2: fort to just live, just pay your rent and pay 881 00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,239 Speaker 2: your basic bills. When you're looking at things like that, 882 00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:20,000 Speaker 2: I mean I was paying like twenty five hundred, close 883 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,600 Speaker 2: to three thousand a month just in student loans. I mean, 884 00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:26,799 Speaker 2: and this is you know, looking down like the line 885 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:28,120 Speaker 2: of knowing you're going to have to be paying it 886 00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,080 Speaker 2: for a decade or two, you know, based on how 887 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,360 Speaker 2: much you ultimately owe. So unfortunately I had to borrow 888 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,840 Speaker 2: a lot of money for everything, and law school is 889 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:42,359 Speaker 2: just way expensive. So yeah, I mean, it's really tough 890 00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:46,480 Speaker 2: to get started in your life when you're right off 891 00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,319 Speaker 2: the bat, you're paying you know, several grand a. 892 00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,920 Speaker 1: Month, and so it makes you angry, makes you angry 893 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,600 Speaker 1: that that dream that was promised you if you did 894 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,760 Speaker 1: your four years, You graduate school, you get your degree, 895 00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:01,840 Speaker 1: you know, your financial analyst, CPA, a lawyer, whatever, you 896 00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:03,960 Speaker 1: do all of that, and now you're living in an 897 00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,200 Speaker 1: apartment still with three other people, like you're back in 898 00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:07,480 Speaker 1: your dormitory in school. 899 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I yeah, thankfully I didn't have to 900 00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:16,560 Speaker 2: sort of go into that direction of having like multiple people. 901 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:21,080 Speaker 2: But I always had like maybe one roommate possibly, yeah, 902 00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,200 Speaker 2: I mean, but again it's you know, you look at 903 00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:26,799 Speaker 2: the costs for everything within New York City. 904 00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:27,080 Speaker 1: I mean. 905 00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:29,400 Speaker 2: And the first thing too that blew my mind was 906 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:32,319 Speaker 2: realizing that not only they're more expensive live in New 907 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:34,359 Speaker 2: York City, but then when you do your taxes, you're 908 00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,440 Speaker 2: getting a city tax on top of that. Like wait, what, 909 00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 2: Like it already costs so much money to live here 910 00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,200 Speaker 2: in the first place, and I'm not even sure what 911 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:41,879 Speaker 2: I'm paying for. 912 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,360 Speaker 1: Maybe some people from what you've just said, understand the 913 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,640 Speaker 1: anger that led to the election of Zorahan Mandami, who 914 00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:53,400 Speaker 1: it was all about a cost of living affordability. And 915 00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:56,239 Speaker 1: then to hear our presidents say, if you vote for 916 00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:01,680 Speaker 1: Javier Milai of Argentina, my friend will bail out Argentina 917 00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 1: for the twentieth time. These dead beats, we bail them out, 918 00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:10,240 Speaker 1: but won't even bail out people from this student loans 919 00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:11,400 Speaker 1: in the United States. 920 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,719 Speaker 2: Unbelievabah, Like, I mean, I could see if you if 921 00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,240 Speaker 2: you're if you have the money if And again I 922 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 2: think they the disconnect too between the the charges that 923 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,680 Speaker 2: they have for you know, higher education to begin with, 924 00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,680 Speaker 2: and then the likelihood of getting a job that really 925 00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:30,640 Speaker 2: sort of fits the criteria to be able to pay 926 00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 2: that back. Like, I don't think there is any ramifications 927 00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 2: for these higher educational institutions to really I mean, they're 928 00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:43,560 Speaker 2: not guaranteeing you jobs, so you know, the best they 929 00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:45,600 Speaker 2: can do is maybe tell you, you know, try to like, 930 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,120 Speaker 2: you know, sort of gear you in the right direction, 931 00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:49,600 Speaker 2: but you know, to be putting so much money in 932 00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,520 Speaker 2: for something that you may or may not get down 933 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,840 Speaker 2: the road. I you know, I feel like they do 934 00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,720 Speaker 2: take advantage of a lot of the young people out there. 935 00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,560 Speaker 2: I always thought when I was younger too, that, oh, 936 00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,080 Speaker 2: the people who straight out of school, when they just 937 00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,360 Speaker 2: went into a job so like you know, especially like 938 00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,800 Speaker 2: the ones that require more like the technical skills like 939 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:10,520 Speaker 2: the plumbing and things like that. I was like, oh, well, 940 00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:12,880 Speaker 2: those people aren't going that. Like I had no idea 941 00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,040 Speaker 2: how much ahead of the curve that they were, because 942 00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:18,680 Speaker 2: right out the gate they have a skill that's you know, 943 00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:21,000 Speaker 2: that that kind of really less a test of time. 944 00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,040 Speaker 2: And then plus they don't have any of the student 945 00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,080 Speaker 2: loan debt and they start making money years before you 946 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,760 Speaker 2: even get a chance to start making money. So those 947 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:29,200 Speaker 2: people really know what they're doing out there. 948 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,480 Speaker 1: Well, on that note, you have a chance to speak 949 00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,640 Speaker 1: to Nancy.

Many people would never go to Hesse because 1047 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:36,240 Speaker 1: it was considered low budget gasoline. Low budget wasn't like Sinoco, 1048 01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:39,640 Speaker 1: you know, with all the five seven grades. But they 1049 01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,920 Speaker 1: drive into Hesse where they wore the white suits and 1050 01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,880 Speaker 1: it came out and pumped your gas and they said, no, no, 1051 01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:48,280 Speaker 1: not here for the gas, and please don't put that 1052 01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:52,800 Speaker 1: dirty squeegee on my window.

You know, I didn't have like a lot 1067 01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:44,280 Speaker 2: of presents, but to me, the stocking was the best part, 1068 01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:45,960 Speaker 2: like going there and then seeing that it was all 1069 01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,120 Speaker 2: filled up and there was always nice goodies in there. 1070 01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,120 Speaker 2: So I was really a fan of the stocking. 1071 01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,880 Speaker 1: Let's go if we can to George, who's calling your 1072 01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:58,440 Speaker 1: turn to be heard here at seven ten w or George. 1073 01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,760 Speaker 10: Curtis Is George the court clerk.

Like Einstein said, 1076 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,600 Speaker 10: only God could change the past. When they said, you 1077 01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:14,560 Speaker 10: know about the Republican Party, you had the real you 1078 01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:16,919 Speaker 10: had the seat.
