Speaker 3: You'll get them.

34
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 9: And then when you drive over the little cord, it

35
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 9: goes ding dang And I gotta tell you, is there

36
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 9: a happier noise than the ding dame when you drive

Speaker 9: into the gas station? That man, that just make you happy?

38
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: Hunger crisis growing for millions of Americans, with SNAP benefits

39
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: set to run dry in just days.

40
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 10: Forty two million Americans who rely on SNAP, the federal

41
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 10: program that helps families afford groceries.

42
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 11: This program helps one in eight Americans buy groceries. Millions

43
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 11: of Americans are questioning how they will get enough to eat.

44
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 9: Who's starving to death in this country? Why are you

45
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 9: starving to death? When's the last time you provided your

46
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 9: own food? Are you working? Are you trying to work?

47
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 9: I think there's a lot of resentment among working class

48
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 9: and middle class Americans that we have a professionally poor,

49
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 9: supposedly class and that they're living well.

50
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 12: A huge star studded rally on Queen's Zora on Mundani,

51
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 12: there was chance calling for a taxi ridge.

52
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 9: What's going on in your life that you think, if

53
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 9: only we could tax the rich, my life would be better.

54
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 9: Is it because you think, well, those people have so

55
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 9: much money, I'd like some of it for myself.

56
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: Hey, we're in New York I've got a gun.

57
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 6: Let's get to the Broadway show.

58
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 9: It always amazes me when people come here from New York.

59
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 9: This is people from New York City, not.

60
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 12: Upstate New York City, New York City.

61
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 9: They'll say, from New York who cares? And they try

62
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 9: to act like, oh, well, you know you've seen Mafia movies.

63
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 9: That's me. Honestly, nobody is impressed with you. I've heard

64
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 9: people in all sorts of walks of life say they're

65
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 9: from New York as if that's a flex. Nobody cares

66
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 9: that you're from New York. Nobody's impressed with it.

67
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: Go back.

68
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 12: If you could find it.

69
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 9: The Michael Mary with these features for less money by

70
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 9: one thousand on Friday.

71
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 13: To the phones, we go, Robert Eure up, Go ahead, sir, yes, sir,

72
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 13: thank you everything about call sir.

73
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 7: I saw the President Trump and some Republicans were talking

74
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 7: about eliminating the filibuster to win the shutdown. I am

75
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 7: in favor of that. But the problem is this that

76
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 7: Lord forbid, Lord forbid. If the Democrats retake power, uh,

77
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 7: they're going to have their way that they couldn't get

78
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 7: with Biden or Obama. And that's my fear I hope

79
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 7: that doesn't happen, but the same time, we got to

80
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 7: make sure we're ready for that.

81
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 9: Wait wait wait wait, wait wait wait wait wait, slow down.

82
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 9: So what are you worried that we're doing? That They're

83
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 9: going to take power and then they're going to do.

84
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 7: I'm worried that even after the Republicans eliminate the filibuster

85
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 7: and we end the shutdown, Lord for bid, if the

86
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 7: Democrats regain power after midterms or later, they'll do the

87
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 7: same thing, and they'll be able to do all that

88
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 7: stuff that Biden wanted to do, but we're not able

89
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 7: to because of two people stopping it.

90
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 9: Well, Arbert, I appreciate that, but I would argue that

91
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:20,599
Speaker 9: our weakness is that we hold fast to structure and

92
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 9: procedures and norms, and they don't. If someone breaks into

93
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 9: your home armed and you say, well, I'd like to

94
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 9: shoot him and defend myself, but I'm afraid if I

95
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 9: shoot him and defend myself, then more of them will

96
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 9: come later. They don't care about norms and procedures and decency.

97
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 9: They do what they want. They've proven that, and what

98
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 9: Trump has shown is that Republicans are going to have

99
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 9: to take off the gloves and start bashing them back.

100
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 9: Look what they did to him. Look what they did

101
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 9: to him that alone. If every American had to go

102
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 9: through what Donald Trump went through, you'd understand why he

103
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 9: is so fearless. Now. He played the game the first term,

104
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 9: he did nothing wrong. They impeached him twice. Might I

105
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 9: remind you they set up January sixth. Look at all

106
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 9: the things, and then they went after him when he

107
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 9: got out of office. I mean they harassed him, They

108
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 9: tried to put him in prison, they tried to bankrupt him.

109
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 9: At what point do you go, ef I'm and start

110
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 9: pinning them to the wall. And that's where I am.

111
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 9: I am for being as awful to them as they've

112
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 9: been to us plus ten because whatever they're going to

113
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 9: do coming up, they're going to do, they're not going

114
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 9: to say, well, we're not going to do that because

115
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 9: the Republicans didn't do that. They believe Mike makes right.

116
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 9: When they get power, they do what they want to do.

117
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 9: Our job is to keep them from ever having power.

118
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 9: But I don't believe in letting our foot off the

119
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 9: throttle one bit. I like them all sent to prison.

120
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 9: I'd like I'd like everyone, I'd like Pelosi to be

121
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 9: in prison for her trading activities. I'm sure Schumer's got

122
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 9: twenty five crimes. I'd like Brennan, Komi, Biden and his

123
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 9: son break through that auto pin. Let's go put them

124
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 9: all away.

125
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 2: I mean it.

126
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 9: Well they'll come back and the next Feller, we'll go

127
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 9: out for him. Well, look what they did to Trump,

128
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 9: They've already done that. That door has been open. We're

129
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 9: we're we've passed that point. It's the veil has been pierced.

130
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 9: We're not going back. Pantelia or pantelia.

131
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 14: Untalia. I agree, it's Greek.

132
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 9: Oh okay, all right, go ahead.

133
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 14: Yeah, So I was talking.

134
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 12: About welfare reform, but I agree with everything you just

135
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 12: said about pinning them Democrats to the wall. Every time

136
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 12: we take the nice road, we give and give and give,

137
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 12: and they take and take, and all they do is

138
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 12: just hurt us more and more. But anyway, the reason

139
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 12: I called was, we need welfare reform.

140
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 14: It's okay to be on.

141
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 12: Assistance, but you need a reason to be getting off

142
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 12: of assistance. So make it available for people. Give them

143
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 12: everything they need for a time four to six years,

144
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 12: but they need to be going to college. They need

145
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 12: to be working. They need to become an asset and

146
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 12: give back to what they've taken, but make it available

147
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 12: that they can actually do something to be able to

148
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 12: get off of government assessments. We need reform.

149
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, well they don't want. Most people who are abusing

150
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 9: the system, they don't want to be fixed, and we

151
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 9: tend to focus on the end user, the person who

152
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 9: is abusing it by accepting it. Just like every other

153
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 9: structure of government in this country, they have so insinuated

154
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 9: themselves into the bureaucracy. The only way you're ever going

155
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 9: to stop this is starve the beasts, cut off the phones.

156
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 9: The number of people who are working administering food stamps

157
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 9: who are running the hustle picking up the phone and

158
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 9: calling people they know and bringing them in and getting

159
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 9: them signed up. And it doesn't seem like much, but

160
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 9: every one of them is doing it across the country.

161
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 9: This is a whole thing. Once you get in the system,

162
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,599
Speaker 9: nobody's ever asking you again. You just you're on the

163
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 9: gravy train. Look at all the things that have been

164
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 9: given out. Remember the Obama Phone. You've got Snap, you've

165
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 9: got rental assistance, you've got all of these games people

166
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 9: play a lot of the people actually do do some work,

167
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 9: but you can't. They will not take a paycheck has

168
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 9: to be cash, So they create the underground economy. And

169
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 9: they do that because they don't want to throw off

170
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 9: their SNAP benefits, and they won't go take a job

171
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 9: that pays a certain amount because then they would lose

172
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 9: their benefits. This is all created a perverse incentive to

173
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 9: live a certain lifestyle, and the problem is it becomes

174
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 9: a ceiling to their growth and development because if they

175
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 9: were to improve themselves, there would be a period of

176
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 9: time when they were being weaned off of the benefits,

177
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 9: and that's they they grow addicted to it, and so

178
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 9: over a period of time they develop this lifestyle and

179
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 9: they get out of They don't live around anyone who

180
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 9: works a day job. They don't know anyone who works

181
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 9: a day job. Because, by the way, they're not just

182
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 9: on SNAP, they're on Section eight. They're on a lot

183
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 9: of other things. And if you start digging deep into

184
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 9: the behaviors and the lifestyle, the number of children, the

185
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 9: number of people in prison, you start realizing nobody's going hungry.

186
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 9: It's just whether the grift is going to continue.

187
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 6: To say this, it is very well documented that words

188
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 6: nowadays can actually break your bones.

189
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 9: Why you're not, that's right the Michael Berry Show. My

190
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 9: kids don't trigger.

191
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: Eat any longer.

192
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 9: But if you have kids who do, the weather is

193
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 9: perfect for it. You're going to have a heck of

194
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 9: a good night. For I didn't even check for tonight.

195
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 9: Do you know what the weather's gonna be. Oh, it's

196
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 9: gonna be nice.

197
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 6: Oh man.

198
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 9: I can remember one year we didn't have kids yet,

199
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 9: but I got some spacesuit and it really just looked

200
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 9: like the michela Man or Pillsbury dough Boy, but in

201
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 9: my mind it was gonna be a space suit. And

202
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 9: it had this lead. You put on the helmet and

203
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 9: then it was blacked out so you couldn't see my face.

204
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 9: And when you put that thing on, I don't know.

205
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 9: They must have insulated it with asbestos or something. That

206
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 9: thing was hot, and I remember that year was particularly

207
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 9: hot and I had to take off my helmet, ruining

208
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 9: the surprise for some of the kids. We used to

209
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 9: get so into Halloween before we even had kids. We

210
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 9: would out in the shrubs and things I would I

211
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 9: would put music and I really wanted was a boom,

212
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 9: but I thought it was cool, little lights and things,

213
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 9: and you got ross in the late nineties, you didn't

214
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 9: have all the stuff you have now. It was it

215
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 9: was it was elaborate for the day. Then then it

216
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 9: was just you're walking up down the streets with your

217
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 9: kids because they're going through that phase. And then you

218
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 9: get out of it and you kind of I don't

219
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 9: know that I miss it. No, I don't think I

220
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 9: miss it. I feel like we did it, like Little

221
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 9: League Baseball. We did it, and then you move on,

222
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 9: or you know, an any number of swim lessons. You

223
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 9: do your thing, and then you you kind of you

224
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 9: kind of move on, you kind of move on from there. Yeah,

225
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 9: but it was a good time. I don't regret it.

226
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 9: I don't, But no, I don't pine for it either.

227
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 9: What a couple of weeks it's been for the no

228
00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 9: Kings folks. A couple of weeks they wore there doory

229
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 9: costumes and they chanted, no more Kings, we hate the King.

230
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 9: Then they caught win at the gravy train called snap

231
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 9: is running dry with the government shutdown, they said, oh,

232
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 9: we don't really care about the King. We gotta we

233
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 9: gotta get our stuff.

234
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: No Kings.

235
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 9: Uh, Okay, how about feed us and give us money. King.

236
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 13: Just two weeks ago the streets were filled with chance

237
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 13: so no kings, no rulers, no masters. But now those

238
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 13: same voices have changed their tune.

239
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 9: Give us our food, we're starving, where's our check?

240
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 13: Hold on, So you don't want a king, but you

241
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 13: do want the king to feed you. You reject the crown,

242
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 13: but demand the castle pantry stay open. Ladies and gentlemen,

243
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 13: Welcome to the United States of contradiction. Independence is sacred

244
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 13: until the free buffet closes.

245
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 9: So which is it, folks?

246
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 13: Do we want freedom or do we want freebies? Because

247
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 13: you can't yell no kings one week and then beg

248
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 13: feed us, o generous ruler the next, you'll majestee the

249
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 13: peasants say their free feast is late again, you wanted

250
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 13: a revolution. Turns out he just wanted a refill.

251
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 9: The crazy things men do for Booty, a now former

252
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 9: New York State trooper, shot himself in the leg while

253
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 9: on duty in order to gain sympathy from his ex girlfriend,

254
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 9: the nurse. What is it with cops and nurses? My

255
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 9: brother only ever dated nurses and then married a nurse.

256
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 9: It's there's something going on. There and I see it's

257
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 9: cops and nurses, and cops and school teachers. That's the

258
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 9: two you see. Prosecutors say he was determined to impress

259
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 9: the woman after she dumped him last year, so he

260
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 9: staged an incident, claiming a dark skinned man in a

261
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 9: black Dodge Charger shot him in the leg during a

262
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 9: traffic stop. He has now pleaded guilty to charges of

263
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 9: official misconduct and tampering with evidence. Sentenced to six months

264
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 9: in jail. I don't want false police claims. It feels

265
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 9: like a long time to get butt raped, CBS New York.

266
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 11: Sentencing day for former New York State trooper Thomas Mascia,

267
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 11: and though he pleaded guilty, he said nothing when the

268
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 11: judge asked if he had a statement.

269
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 3: It's mortified at his behavior. He regrets it. Obviously. It

270
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 3: was a mistake. He regrets it, and he'll live with

271
00:20:59,040 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 3: it the rest of his life.

272
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 11: His attorney said lifelong struggles with mental health led Massia

273
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 11: to shoot himself in the leg last year, then concoct

274
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 11: a story he was shot while on duty, setting off

275
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 11: a manhunt for a motorist he even described as dark skinned.

276
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 11: A planned and researched force say prosecutors to get attention

277
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 11: and sympathy.

278
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 15: There was an ex girlfriend he was trying to impress,

279
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 15: and I we believe that he wanted the public to

280
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 15: see him as a hero.

281
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 11: Just released evidence shows the bullet casings. Massia admits he

282
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 11: scattered on the Southern State Parkway at a stage of

283
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 11: fake crime scene, a highway he allegedly chose because of

284
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 11: its lack of cameras. Internet searches show research into which

285
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 11: body part to shoot and what temporary new jersey plates

286
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 11: look like so he could describe a fleeing car. Following

287
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 11: the shooting, everyone started out rooting for you, the judge

288
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 11: told Massia, calling the wild goose chase he set off

289
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 11: dangerous and outrageous, sentencing Massi out of six months in jail,

290
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 11: five years probation, two hundred and eighty nine thousand dollars

291
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 11: in restitution for the manhunt for a phantom shooter, and

292
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 11: mental health treatment.

293
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 3: Why did this occur? Doesn't just occur out of the blue.

294
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 9: It occurs because it was a result of many years

295
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 9: of mental health issues that were never treated.

296
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 11: His parents will serve no time, charged with illegal gun

297
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 11: possession during a search of their home of the six

298
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 11: month sentence. MASSI is only required to serve four and

299
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 11: he'll spend that time in protective custody for his own safety.

300
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 9: Wow, the stupid things we do. Of course, women do

301
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 9: stupid things for men too. I'm always surprised how fast

302
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 9: and how thorough this process is. I've seen friends who

303
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 9: they and their wives get divorced, and she's, over the

304
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 9: years put on some weight, and she's constantly saying wearing

305
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 9: you know, house slippers and sweats. Uh man, I'm I'm

306
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 9: gonna lose some weight. I mean, I've put on weight.

307
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 9: I'm gonna lose some weight, but never does and no makeup,

308
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 9: hair's not done, fine, whatever. And then they get divorced.

309
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 9: We'll be out to dinner and none they'll say, is

310
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 9: that is that Ramon's ex wife? And there you look

311
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 9: over there and this stunning beauty queen has slimmed down,

312
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 9: got a new rack, I mean the whole thing. What

313
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 9: have you done for the opposite sex that you look

314
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 9: back now? And it was crazy?

315
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 16: Seven three one thousand, say you feature packed PCRs refrigerators.

316
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 16: The Michael Berry Show Low can't last long, so hurry

317
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 16: into Cricket City.

318
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 9: It's over line Friday. We start with John. But if

319
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 9: there is something out there that you remember doing for

320
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 9: the man or woman you wanted to woo, that you

321
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 9: look back and think how stupid it was seven one three,

322
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 9: one thousand, John, I know that's not what you called about.

323
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 9: Go ahead, moment.

324
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 14: Yeah, Hey, let me ask you. Let me ask you this.

325
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 14: You're Uh, Oh, I good a good friend, Elma. Wayne.

326
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 14: It's up for parole review this week, and Uh, I said,

327
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 14: we don't think he's.

328
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 10: Gonna really, but do you know if if if the governor,

329
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 10: I say, that's.

330
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 9: A Are you on a speaker phone?

331
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 14: Yes?

332
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 9: Did you have the idea?

333
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 12: How?

334
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 9: It just sounds awful? I'll tell you what it's. It's

335
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 9: kind of a little bit like this.

336
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 3: So can you hear me?

337
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 10: Okay, let me let me get off.

338
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 2: Well, no, no, you do that.

339
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 9: I'll be over here, okay.

340
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 10: Sonny way. My question is uh, at the at the

341
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 10: pro board recomens his release, then it goes to the

342
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 10: governor uh for his approval or rejection. And if the governor.

343
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 14: Does not, you know, he rejects the pro board recommendation.

344
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 14: I understand. I can californ you, Uh, they can take

345
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 14: it to the space Supreme Court, where the Space Supreme

346
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 14: Court can rule uh against the governor.

347
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 10: And then and so that prisoner is in we leaks into.

348
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 14: Society, and you know, so I'm wondering, is that the

349
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 14: case in Texas?

350
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 9: Ron writes, Zar. Do you remember that nineteen sixties show

351
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 9: Emergency which featured that fire station in Los Angeles? Jack

352
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 9: Webb produced it. Those medics were always flirting with the

353
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 9: nurses at Rampart Hospital. Hmmm, maybe I watch almost as

354
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 9: much me TV as Sleepy Joe. Just the facts, Zar,

355
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 9: Just the facts, James, you're on the Michael Berry Show.

356
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 15: Go ahead, Hey Michael, did everybody miss the fact that

357
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 15: they said that guy had years of mental problems and

358
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 15: here it he's a cop? I mean, think about that.

359
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 15: That's pretty rough. What do you mean, well, I mean

360
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 15: they said he had years of mental problems and then

361
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 15: now he's a comp and he's out toting I'm going

362
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 15: out in public. Well, that's a lot of the problems

363
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 15: we got going on right now. Is the wrong people

364
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 15: have gone?

365
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 9: Well, I understand that makes sense from where you're coming from.

366
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 9: But let me just let me let me give you

367
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 9: two things to think about. Number one is his lawyers

368
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 9: said he did this because he was struggling with mental problems.

369
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 9: Any time you commit any crime that looks crazy, your

370
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 9: lawyer has practically a duty to say, well, you got

371
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 9: to realize he has mental problems. That's going to be

372
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 9: part of your defense because what you're trying to do

373
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 9: is you're trying to get to his state of mind.

374
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 9: You're trying to suggest that he was not, as my

375
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 9: grandmother would say, he was not at hisself. He was

376
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 9: not his normal self. He was making bad decisions. He

377
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 9: was in and he wasn't at himself. It was in

378
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 9: a bad place. We don't know if that's true or not.

379
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 9: We don't know if he made a cold calculated decision,

380
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 9: dumb as it sounds to us, to shoot himself in

381
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 9: the leg because he wanted her attention, or if he was,

382
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 9: you know, in the middle of a mental health episode.

383
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 6: We don't know.

384
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 9: They're gonna argue the latter, obviously, right. But then I

385
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 9: suppose you you start looking at the details. Had he

386
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 9: planned this for some period of time, had he threatened

387
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 9: it in the past, What are some other factors cutting

388
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 9: forward against now? Your next point, I think is the

389
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 9: more important point, and that is, how about the fact

390
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 9: that this guy is having some mental health issues and

391
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 9: he's walking around with a gun. I will tell you this,

392
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 9: if you start as a cop and don't have any

393
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 9: mental health issues, you're gonna have some in time. We

394
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 9: love to have this idea that cops should be just

395
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 9: like the rest of us, you know, to work surfing

396
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 9: in that a little while, return some emails, go down

397
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 9: and get some coffee, flirt with Peggy soou a little bit.

398
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 3: Check the mail.

399
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 9: We got a meeting here about ten forty five. Stroll

400
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 9: into there, got a fresh cup of coffee, pick up

401
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 9: a donut on the way down, carry some papers in,

402
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 9: Read some emails while the meeting's going on, because nobody's

403
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 9: paying attention to our particular participation. Find out where we're

404
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 9: going to go to lunch, See what we can have

405
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 9: for lunching. But I got a special what they're doing.

406
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 9: Figure out how maybe we could work a drink or

407
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,959
Speaker 9: two in. Nobody will notice, especially if we can get

408
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 9: ourselves on a run away from the restaurant where we

409
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 9: got to make a drop off. Figure out how we

410
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,959
Speaker 9: can cut out early, maybe go get some more drinks,

411
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 9: or go fishing, or get to the game early. And

412
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 9: then we got to figure out where we're gonna park.

413
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 9: Let's see what parking did they give us? This company

414
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 9: so cheap they get us, Oh, they gave us that

415
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 9: lot's like five lots away.

416
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 3: I gotta find out.

417
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 9: I gotta buddy to have Diamond Club tickets. Let me

418
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 9: see if I can get hit. If he's not using

419
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 9: his tickets for tonight, then we got to figure out

420
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 9: where these tickets are. So we go online and look

421
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 9: and see over over in the right fielding's a little

422
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 9: far out, but then borrow over there, and then what

423
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 9: we're gonna do from there? And let's stop off and

424
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 9: at Tommy at his restaurant before that. That's not a

425
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 9: CoP's life. You see those really really really bad guys

426
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 9: in the news every day. They have to interact with

427
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 9: them day in and day out, and most of the

428
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 9: time let them off or the DA lets them off,

429
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 9: And you have to deal with that day in and

430
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 9: day out. You have to hug the wives or the

431
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 9: baby mamas after the guys killed their kid. You've got

432
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 9: to hug the victims of people. You've got to write

433
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 9: the reports of that and know nothing will be done,

434
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 9: and see the frustration and anger in people's faces. Yeah,

435
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 9: they're gonna end up with some mental health problems after

436
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 9: a while, they're gonna end up broken and shattered. That's

437
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 9: why so many of them drink. That's why the suicide

438
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 9: rate is so high. That's why the toll it takes

439
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 9: on their marriages. Yeah, if you say you can't have

440
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 9: a mental health problem be a cop, you won't have

441
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 9: a police department.
