the police in New York City we're not
effective at doing their job last night
period they have to do a better job
Governor Andrew Cuomo slamming New
York's finest for failing to do more to
prevent the incredible looting and riots
that we saw in New York City the other
night now today the department's
highest-ranking uniformed officer chief
Terrence Moran who you see kneeling here
with protesters in Manhattan today said
that he received an apology for that
statement from the governor's office
last night his office called and
apologized to me I know he called the
Commissioner directly to apologize that
that's not what he meant that he did not
mean to put down the police losses so
when he was asked about the apology
today the governor appeared to not
recall that he his office had reached
out to Monaghan watch this this morning
on one of the radio shows or one of the
shows downstate chief Monaghan of the
NYPD said that you called him to
apologize for your remarks yesterday in
regards to the NYPD just wondering what
what that conversation was like when you
spoke with the chief and again what how
did you come to that conclusion
yeah very simple first I never spoke to
whatever that person's name is I spoke
to the police commissioner and said the
same thing I just said to you and the
same thing I said yesterday which is
it's an issue of management and
deployment the actual police officers
are the best my issue was with the
management and deployment never about
the police officers who said Monahan is
the top ranking police officer in New
York City here now Ben Shapiro host of
the Ben Shapiro show editor-in-chief of
The Daily wire and author of the
upcoming book how to destroy America in
three easy steps it seems like we've
been trying to check off a few of those
steps lately Ben good to see you here
tonight thank you what do you make of
this you know back peddling and fixing
things that we've seen a lot of from the
governor of the largest city in the
United States I mean it's fairly
incredible that this person was trotted
out as the ideal governor in the United
States while shoving older people with
cover 19 back into nursing homes not
calling the National Guard and allowing
Bill DeBlasio to allow widespread
looting in his city at the same time
that he was sending cop cars to make
sure that Orthodox Jews weren't going to
prayer sessions in the evenings I mean
this has been a horribly run state under
Andrew Cuomo it's a horribly run City
under Bill DeBlasio and it's no shock to
watch him throw the NYPD under the bus
for political decisions made by Bill
DeBlasio I mean Andrew Cuomo hates de
Blasio de Blasio hates Andrew Cuomo
that's perfectly obvious I think that
the criticisms by each of the other are
merited yeah and unfortunately in the
squabbling as the people of New York
City that has been having to put up with
just an incredible amount of wallace
mnestheus
this is a comment that President Trump
made talking to Brian Kilmeade
about the management of some of our
cities in this country listen to this do
you notice that all of these places that
have problems are not run by Republicans
they're run by Liberal Democrats so
there is something into that philosophy
and yet they're also the ones keeping
everybody locked up in their apartments
and their homes for a lot too long a
period of time so it's very interesting
how that changes Ben what are you that
there's no question he's correct about
that I mean the fact is that Bill
DeBlasio five seconds ago was basically
screaming you that you were gonna kill
your grandmother if he went out within a
100-foot radius of another person
without a mask on and then he says that
as long as you're protesting things that
he wants you to protest then you can
breathe all over anybody that you could
possibly want to breathe all over I mean
that the fact is unfortunately in cities
ranging from New York to Los Angeles the
the governance structures and the
incentive structures are such that him
ringing the police and and telling the
police that on the one hand they're
supposed to keep law and order on the
other hand they can't actually do
anything to keep law and order it turns
out that that doesn't end with good
results and so you've seen you know LA
County has been under curfew under
curfew again tonight and this is a
county of ten million people because
they can't get lawlessness under order
it's really stunning when you let go you
know if you hit the rewind button just a
little bit and you think about the panic
over you know wearing a mask and going
places and leaving your home and social
distancing under penalty of fine or even
arrest in some cases and now you've got
the scientists at the University of
Washington assigned by dozens of health
experts putting out an open letter
advocating for an anti-racist public
health response to demonstrations
against systemic injustice occurring
during the Cova 19 pandemic basically
saying that it's okay to go out there
and protest white supremacy is a lethal
public health issue that predates and
contributes to kovat 19 what are your
thoughts on that Ben I mean the
unbelievable stupidity these people are
scientists like dr. Nick is a doctor on
The Simpsons I mean this is this is
madness and at a high level either this
is the locus virus in existence and it
only kills people who are out there
protesting against lock down while
preserving people are out there
protesting against alleged systemic
racism or everybody is lying and they
basically have different priorities I
don't think that the virus changed I
think the priorities change and for
people like Governor Phil Murphy the
idiot of New Jersey who has suggested
that it's one thing to want to open your
business is another thing to want to
protest or Bill DeBlasio who says that
it's one thing to want to go to
synagogue or Church or open your
business it's another thing to want to
protest it the virus doesn't care I mean
I was informed five seconds ago the
virus doesn't care but now apparently
the virus does care so long as you are
backing a particular cause I mean it
makes your husband this quickly on this
story these are one Ivy League lawyer a
Fordham Law graduate who were arrested
for throwing a Molotov cocktail they
were accused of throwing it into a
police officers car I think we have
pictures of these two individuals they
are now out on 250 thousand dollars bail
it's miss Rahman she's a public interest
lawyer and Fordham Law graduate and mr.
Madison associate at prior Cushman
Cashman and a Princeton alum
they are both now out on $250,000 in
bail so these are some of the people
that that have been throwing Molotov
cocktails and handing them out
apparently according to the reports well
if you drink deeply from the well of the
academic left that suggests that America
is deeply evil rotten to its core
fundamentally racist founded in 1619 on
the back of slavery and exploitation as
opposed to on freedom in 1776 it's not a
grand leap from there to I have to
attack the institutions of the state now
obviously these people are outliers even
among the liberal intelligentsia but it
is it should make you stop and think
because obviously these sort of stereos
have people throwing Molotov cocktails
generally doesn't include Fordham Law
and Princeton grads
Ben Shapiro always good to see you thank
you good to see you Ben thanks so much
