So I'm going to lead off on the local side with the detective Jonathan Diller case. You'll remember, he was murdered March 25th, two men sitting in a car that shouldn't have been sitting in a car, Queens, New York, okay? A guy named Guy Rivera, 21 prior arrest, nine for felonies, shot him dead. And you can say, well, he hasn't been convicted yet, but there's an eyewitness. Mr. or detective dealer's partner. So he did it. Now right now Rivera, Guy Rivera being held in Rikers, no bail. Thank God. I guess the only way you get held in New York City without bail is if you shoot a cop. And this is just an appalling case. The accomplice, man who was driving the car, Lindy Jones, another guy with a rap sheet all day long, pending felony firearms case from last year,

out on the street. He's in jail in Riverhead, New York, Suffolk County. Don't exactly know why he's out there, but he's being held without bail as well. So Rivera, 34 years old, a last known address in Woodside, has pleaded not guilty. Of course he's guilty, but his lawyer, which will be a public defender, will try to find some excuse and bust it down for murder one. I don't believe that'll be successful. I think Guy Rivera is done. We don't have capital punishment in New York, but he'll be in prison the rest of his life. And he'll do damage in prison. The guy will hurt other inmates or guards or whoever. You got it, you know. He's just a violent fuck. any uh this lindy guy um will he get out maybe in 20 years he'd be in his 60s then that's probably

what's going to happen to him because he didn't pull the trick so all decent new yorkers know what a tragedy this is and the good news there is always good news that come out of bad news or usually anyway um is that the uh dealer family is well taken care by go fund me and a bunch of fundraisers, and at least they'll have the resources to live life the way it should be led. Not going to be poor, impoverished. The baby, the one-year-old boy, will get a good education, and we wish them the best, and if we can help them, obviously, we will. But this whole thing is such a bad black mark on the state of New York.

I can't tell you, because still, we still do not have reform. in the criminal justice area. The legislature and most of the prosecutors want to give criminals chance after chance after chance after chance and they hurt people. When you are arrested for nine felonies, why are you sitting in a car,

in Queens, with a gun? Okay, that's all you need to know. should be three strikes in you're out, three felonies convictions, life in jail. That's it. Okay, three strikes, you're in prison for life. Three felony convictions, not misdemeanors. That's fair. You're hurt, you know, and remember, when arrests are made, most crimes go unpunished because the perpetrators aren't caught.

So I think the estimate is for every crime where a person is arrested, the arrestee commits 50 others where they're not arrested. They get away with it. I mean, unsolved murders in some areas, 30, 40 percent, 60 percent of the killers get away. It's crazy. Police are outgunned, they're outmanned, they are demoralized in any places because of the politicians. So, you know, I continue to analyze crime in New York because it is one of the two things that are driving people out of the state, the other high taxes. And I don't see any reform.

I don't see any move in Albany or in Manhattan or the other boroughs outside of Staten Island. That's different over there to correct the wrong, to right the wrong, to protect the wrong, to protect the detective dealers and their families. I don't see it. And the voters got to rise up, as I've said, a million times.
