There is crime happening in the city 24 seven 365.

It's always going on. The people that say crime is down and this and that, yeah it might be, or it's just transition to another part of the city. Crime, it's almost like a balloon. When you squeeze it on one end, it expands on the other. Tony Hernandez here from Queens. My man's in Vegas now.

Welcome to the show. Hey, what's up Sean? Thank you for having me man. How long were you in Queens for? My whole life pretty much. I was born and raised in New York City. Queens. I spent a lot of time in Brooklyn, Williamsburg section. But for the most part Queens. And you had an interesting dynamic between the mafia and police officer life. Yeah, yeah. If you asked me growing up if I ever would have been a cop the answer definitely would have been no I I've delved more towards like, you know, the street side, you know, I was I was out, you know

I wasn't stay on the stoop kind of kid. I was always running to the corner So, you know, I was enamored by the street lifestyle, you know, you see the the hustlers the drug dealers the mob guys They have all the nice stuff, right? The cars the women the clothes the jewelry It's it's very captivating when you're a kid for sure meanwhile the cops making what 100k your max back then fuck though And when I started even less, you know When you have to put your time in to actually get the top pay where you're making that kind of money. Yeah, but You know, I I kind of was you know, dip in and dip in and dabble in in the street myself at that time You know as a kid growing up, you know

And I saw the money that these guys had, and then, you know, being a cop, you know, when you're in those inner city kind of communities, it's not the most popular job. Yeah. You know, and I just grew up around a lot of people that, you know, were affiliated to organized crime or had like a connection.

Like my dad and my uncle worked for a very prominent organized crime figure. His name was Virgil Alessi. He was if you look him up He was involved in like the French connection stuff like that really in the 70s He was considered the biggest heroin trafficker in New York City. Yeah Yeah, so these guys had a piece of the French connection him and Vinnie Papa. Holy crap So my father and my uncle worked for him and his legitimate businesses, you know They both had the chance to go into that life,

but they didn't want to. They surrounded by it like many other people. And you're almost surrounded by it through family connections sometimes. It's almost unavoidable, especially when you go to like family parties, Christmas and Fourth of July, you'd always have the perfect mix of cops and mobsters, you know, and that was kind of my family. I have a lot of family that's in law enforcement,

but you know, I also had my uncle and my father and a couple other members that were involved in, you know, around organized crime. Yeah. And were they pretty secretive about it? Like, were you aware of it growing up? They don't talk about it. That kind of generation, like a lot of, like I have a channel now called Corruption Connection

where I discuss mob history and this is history. and some of my family is very upset with me for talking about this stuff even though it's 30 year old, 40 year old history. It's just not something they believe in. They just don't talk about it. So growing up it was kind of that same way. I knew that daddy's boss was someone serious. I wouldn't see him all the time just in and out of jail, stuff like that. But when I was coming of age, I would see them on special kind of holidays. I would accompany my dad to work sometimes, 4th of July, Christmas Eve.

And me and my cousin would be running around, opening the doors and stuff like that. Co-check we did when we were like 12 years old. We would leave at hundreds of dollars. At 12, that's crazy. That's a lot of money. So you want to go back to work every day after you get that kind of money.

And especially when they knew, like, oh, your Tony's son? 50 bucks, 100. Wise guys throw money like it's water. So yeah. And that was the peak of everything, too. Oh, yeah. I mean, like, 90s, like, I mean, you had the Godierra and stuff like that.

But it was still pretty prevalent. I would say the actual, I want to say, I don't want to say the power, because there is mob out there that's still powerful. Maybe they've changed ethnicities, but there's still mafia out there, or traditional Italian organized crime still exists. Yeah, I feel like Italian was the top back then. They were for a lot of years.

They held like, I guess, a 50 year run at the top, which is great for any kind of organization, especially an organization that rivals the United States government. The most powerful entity that man has ever known. Unlimited money. Well, if you look at the government now, in my opinion, they stole a lot of the rackets

from the mobsters. Through prohibition, if you want to go all the way back to the bootleggers, it was the mobsters who were the big still owners, and they owned the beer barons, they called them, and stuff like that. The government, with the Volstead Act, they outlawed the alcohol, then they eventually made it legal, taxed it, took it over.

I mean, you could put the same thing now to the modern day prohibition. My eyes is marijuana. When I was growing up, marijuana was illegal. It was my drug of choice. I experimented with drugs as a kid growing up in the city. Nothing ever like street drug, heroin and stuff like that. It wasn't really my thing, but like party drugs, you know, and I like marijuana.

And now in Vegas, there's 81 dispensaries, you know? It's like, as long as it's taxed,

there's nothing wrong with it. So that was kind of my philosophy growing up, and I guess I was a little bit ahead of my time. I didn't do anything too crazy, but I was in the marijuana game. I liked to gamble. You could always find me at the card games, playing with the old timers,

depending if I was invited, certain places. And I grew up in Flushing, place called The Hill. It was a generational neighborhood, kind of mixed with those early settlers of Irish, Italian, German. It did have mafia undertones and stuff like that,

so you could find illegal gambling spots, but then when the Asians started coming in and now you saw like a Chinese, the Asian wave I call it, it came up from downtown Flushing, which was Main Street by the, excuse me, by Roosevelt Avenue down by the 7 line and then it kind of migrated up towards my way which was like Main Street in the LIE and you know you're half Chinese you know you guys love to gamble oh yeah so there was tons of

Asian gambling spots and the one thing about them they let anyone inside as long as you didn't cause a problem if you knew someone blah blah blah this and that massage parlors Asian gambling spots you'll still see them there to this day. So that's kind of what I grew up around. And if you ask me, they're kind of homeless vices. I mean, do people get hurt every once in a while? Sure, you know, there was just recently, they tried to rob one of the gambling spots

down in downtown Flushing, I believe by Prince Street. Somebody got shot in the head. But they tried to rob someone coming out of the game. That's a different story. You know, in mob games, in the mafia games, you weren't allowed to rob anybody coming out of there.. That's a different story. In mob games, in the mafia games, you weren't allowed to rob anybody coming out of there. Those games were protected, and if they found out you did it, you were in some serious shit.

Sopranos. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, that last season, man, shit went down. Right? Yeah. Did you play a lot of poker? You know, the old timers, we played seven card stud. And this was almost like a family thing.

I remember being around the table at like Christmas when everything was done or like a major holiday, New Year's, we'd all get your quarters, dimes, nickels, dollars, and we would play cards around the table, whatever it might be. And I mean, we're going back to, I was like seven, eight years old at this time.

Yeah. Yeah, so when I got older, when I was 15, I already had the balls to walk into a professional card game or an illegal card game. And they didn't ID you? This is illegal shit. What are they IDing you for game or an illegal card. They didn't ID you this is illegal shit Especially if you were you know, I look like a street guy I had like long hair Sometimes I would get a braided like, you know typical rapper style You know, we wanted to dress like hip-hop guys back in the day

So that's what I would dress and like I said as long as they didn't I you didn't cause any problems They didn't they didn't they didn't bother you, you know? And those games, you had to have more of a connection with the Italian guys, which I did. You know, I had family, friends that could bring me to these games. They thought for you, yeah. Yeah, so I would go in and the game of choice

was usually seven card stud. I've never played that one, actually. Yeah, it's fun. You know, you can mix it up. It's two down, four up, and then one down. But the four, they kind of go one by one. So you're betting on each card. Got it.

Yeah, it's a lot of fun. Still to this day, I love the game. It's kind of hard to find in Vegas, though. Yeah, I don't see that one in Vegas. Every once in a while, like on the off-strip casinos, like Red Rock, they might offer them. But like on a midday or something like that, they're very far and few between.

Holden has taken over the world. Yeah, Holden's fucking everywhere. Did you make money gambling? Yeah, sometimes. You know, the life of a gambler has its ups and downs. I don't know many successful gamblers. And if they are successful, it comes their source of revenue comes from other places.

You know, it could be sponsorship, could be something like that. But somebody who's actually grinding out a living gambling, like rounder style, you know, very far and few between, you'll meet them. But you know, very rare. Super rare. And they're usually not flaunting on social media.

Yeah, a lot of those guys, they're bullshit. You know, those guys that are flaunting on social media, they're full of shit. Selling their sports picks. They're selling their sports picks. They're selling the brand. I mean, they're selling, they might have a partnership with the casino that you don't know about,

under the table. You know, I've seen that a lot. Yeah. So it all depends. Was gambling a huge revenue stream for the mob back then? I think it was a huge revenue stream for them mob back then? I think it was a huge revenue for stream for them back then and now to this day. Oh yeah. I think that a lot of people still gamble with the mob. You think about it. You don't really have to, you don't have to put it, give a social

security number so you don't have to pay taxes on it. You don't have to come with the money upfront as long as they, you know, they know how to get in contact with you. You can bet on credit and they're usually giving you better odds. So it's like, why wouldn't you? I mean, yeah, there's always the fact that you get your legs broken, but that's because you're not paying your debts. If you pay your debts, they're going to treat you like gold, you know? Because you're the golden goose here.

Right. I wouldn't want to owe the mob money. I don't think anybody wants to owe the mob money. I'm sure you witnessed some crazy stuff back then. Oh, yeah. So you leaned towards that side, but you ended up becoming police officer. So what was that moment that kind of turned you over,

I guess? Well, I mean, like I said, I saw my foray into the restaurant business was doing that code check, right? And I saw that. But I was still dipping and dabbling in the street life, you know, with my marijuana, with the gambling, and just being in a lot of certain unsavory locations that I shouldn't have been.

You know, a lot of strip clubs where a lot of hustlers hang out. You're at illegal dice games that could get really dicey right now. You know, things like that. Solid amigos, the dice game. Yeah. Yeah, I talk about that in one of my interviews I've done that the guy just got killed over a dice game. It could happen at any time. You know, like guys get upset, you know, and it's thousands of dollars there.

And you know, you might even be the bank, like, you know, just playing against everybody, like it's a friendly game and somebody's waiting to take your money when you get out of there, you know you might even be the bank like you know just playing against everybody like it's a friendly game and Somebody's waiting to take your money when you get out of there You know and how you're gonna defend yourself you gotta have some kind of weapon so it does happen oh Yeah, sorry to cut you off no no not at all you lean towards So going like my with my foray into the restaurant You know I I saw a lot of money legitimately

you know what I mean like the marijuana and the gambling was cool and stuff like that. But working a mob connected birthday or sweet 16 or one of those kinds of events that they would have. And I would work in different, I followed in my father and uncle's footsteps. I would work in different bars, restaurants, catering halls that these, you know, these wise guys had owned. And I started making like legit serious money cash, you know, way more than I was making doing all my other hustles, even though I left them there, you know, I still was getting revenue from them. And I guess at one point, after years of doing it, the fast lifestyle, like I had to network a lot, you know what I mean? So I would meet people behind a bar,

and people are so chummy with you when they have a couple drinks in them and they like you, that I mean, I would get invited to all these places. What time you get out of work, Tony? All right, meet us over here, whatever. I meet owners of certain locations, and I would show up, fresh face, whatever. If they just saw me and had a couple drinks,

they might forget me by tomorrow, but if I went right after I got out of work, went home showered real quick and got to the spot or whatever They would remember remember me and then I would continue my connections and that's kind of how I would network So who would be at these parties a lot of politicians a lot of upper echelon police department people chiefs commissioners deputy inspectors all these kind of people and And mobsters they kind of just all run in the same circle, you know, people that are lobbyists or whatever you want to call them. And they have some of them have connections to organized crime. So throughout these parties, you know, I had made significant amount of connections and,

you know, it just took a lot of toll on me the years of partying, like, you know, you finish a long shift at a party where everybody's drinking and you're drinking too, and then you go out and then you continue and drinking. And sometimes I wouldn't even go home. Like I would go sleep in my car just so I would make it back to work for my next shift and go over and over, you know, and that's what all my other side hustle is going on. Like I had a really successful eBay business before that was big. You know, I still to this day or whatever, if I can find a deal, like I bulk buy, like

if I can find something that I can kind of flip, that's just always been my thing. And I've just been doing that forever. It's just something that's been in me. Yeah, you're a hustler. Yeah, it's just my thing. So after, I want to say, a significant run in the restaurant business,

I want to say over a decade now, I'm rocking and rowing and I have all these connections. I opened up my own spot. I ended up opening up a pizzeria in the Bronx. It did well, but I couldn't really take it to the next level, you know, it was something that it was just like, it was lagging, you know, and it was just like, you know,

how do I transition into something where this hustling lifestyle where I'm all over the place can kind of be a little bit more concrete for my future and I don't know it just dawned on me. I wanted to get into root canal and all this money I was making I wanted to have to have this pay like $4,000 out of my pocket like dental work is crazy expensive and I was talking to a friend of mine I don't know if it was my cousin and what was my cousin to whatever because I had floated this around just to verify this information The NYPD covers complete dental. Like you pay zero out of your pocket. Like so later on I realized it was true because I wound up getting like 10 grand of

work in my mouth for nothing. So it looks like I made the right decision. But I was like you know you got all that work in your mouth for nothing. I was like yeah it's all free. And things started to dawn on me. I was like you know is this hustling lifestyle? It's good. I'm making a lot of money. I have more money than anybody at my age that I knew that wasn't really that deep into the street. If you're deep into the street, obviously you're going to have more money than me because this is what you're doing constantly. But if you're just dip on a dab on like me and you have a legit job, it's almost just like a side hustle, I was up there with the best of them. I was making crazy money from my age, but as fast as you make it, as fast as you spend it. I would have to be at a bar with the guy who owned it

and have to buy drinks for everyone. You know what I mean? So that just round right there is 400 bucks. You know what I mean? You can go out two nights maybe as a single guy with 400 and buy drinks and still be okay. But I would have to do that as a constant daily basis to network to show I belong to you.

I'm in the clique, you know? I'm not just some fucking bartender you met that don't have money. You know? Yeah, it was like, you know, it was a lot of money Sometimes I don't know if I would spend I would make a lot of money Like I would leave I don't want to say what my best day was but thousands. Yeah. Yeah as a As a male bartender, I was always good-looking, you know that I would flirt I have personality, you know girls would drop money

just like the guys, you know, but It was that kind of month that kind of revenue that's coming in that I think spoiled me in a way, you know, girls would drop money just like the guys, you know, but it was that kind of money, that kind of revenue that's coming in that I think spoiled me in a way, you know, because it's kind of hard to make that money anywhere else, unless you're like a hot chick or stripper or whatever, maybe. But, you know, I started seeing that the hustle lifestyle I couldn't really maintain, it wasn't sustainable. You know, I couldn't really sleep in my car anymore or go out and drink.

Like, you know, I'd have hangovers now. It was like getting to that point. And I said, you know, needed something more a little more serious and I didn't think about it overnight like you know it just kind of gradually started happening like signs were getting pointed at me you know I have like maybe the shittiest night I ever had bartending and I was like damn what am I doing and I like certain things like just the marijuana game you know started drying up and certain connects I had would disappear and people act funny and just certain things. And I was like, you know what? I know a lot of people,

I have a lot of family in law enforcement. I said, you know what? I'm going to reach out to a couple of chiefs I know. We ended up meeting them at a networking event. It was at a catering hall on Howard Beach. And I told one of them who is, I don't want to say his rank, but he's up there. And he was like, I told him I want to become a cop. He's like, you want to become a cop? He's like, yeah. He's like, he was totally blown away. Like, no way. Like, you know, and I said, yeah, you know, I want to want to become a cop. All right. You know, so he invites me to this. I thought it was going to be like a dinner and I kind of got ambushed. It's like three upper echelon people from the department and they were like, you know,

what do you think about the cowork? And I just like, you know, kind of ambushed, you know? I thought they were just kind of telling me like, oh, it's great, you know, you want to be one of us, we'll figure out where you want to go, you know, blah, blah, blah, whatever. But they immediately like latched onto me and were like, you'd be perfect for it.

You know, we'll put you here, you'll do this. And initially I had said yes. I was like, I was iffy, I was on the wall about it, but initially I had said yes. You know like I was iffy I was on the wall about it But initially I had said yes, you know And I had ran it by my dad and he was completely against it Like he flipped the gasket like cuz he comes from a time where you know informants got killed You know, it's not they still got killed but it's not ratting was a no-no all that kind of shit was a no-no So, you know, he was like, what are you gonna do for you're gonna get killed for this?

You're gonna sacrifice your life and you know, he was right in the end of the day, you know, so I kind of backed away from the idea. I told him, no, you know, the whole idea was for me to change my appearance, which I did. Like, you know, I always had facial hair since I was like 14, I think, you know, maybe even younger. And I shaved, I stopped hanging out in the spots I was hanging out in. And I put on some weight, I don't look like a different person. And when it came down to it, when I really had to just go in there and say, I'm gonna do this with you guys, I told them no, you know?

And you know, they didn't back away right away. You would think they'd be like, oh, okay, bye. No, they were like, well, if you don't wanna do it on the street, you know, I was like, listen, I know too many people. I was hanging out at Washington Heights, you know, with the weed, it's the best weed in the world up there. I was gambling at spots in Middle Village,

Flushings, and Queens, spent a lot of time in Williamsburg and Brooklyn. So I'm all over the city, you know what I mean? I'm all over the place. Everybody knows me from different walks of life, you know? I'm networking with a higher, upper echelon chief of department one day, and then next week or whatever,

I'm hanging out in a strip club with a drug dealer. It's just the way that it was, you know, it's just kind of gravitated towards that kind of stuff. Yeah. So they try to get me to go undercover in the Academy. They were like, you know, why don't you go into the Academy, kind of weed out the corruption, all that kind of stuff. And, you know, at first I was like, all right, maybe I could do that. And then I started thinking about it and I was like, you know what, it's not only about weeding out the corruption, it's the NYPD is a business at the end of the day.

So they also want to weed out the guys that are maybe going to cost a liability that'll cost them money down the line. And I saw that a little bit as dirty work, you know? And I was like, you know what? That's just not me. Like I might be ratting on a guy that's just, you know, you're making, you said about 100K.

I started making $44,000 a year. Damn. That like, talking about quarter life prices, I was like, what the hell did I do here? I was like, I'm making fucking hundreds of dollars a night or whatever and now I'm making 44,000 a year. Damn. Like talk about quarter life prices. I was like, what the hell did I do here? I was like, I'm making fucking hundreds of dollars a night or whatever, and now I'm making $44,000 a year, which translates to I think my paycheck in the academy was $1,150 every two weeks.

Damn. In New York City. In New York City. How do you survive on that? You can't. I used to tell these guys, how do you have families and do all this shit? It's like, you know, you must live like shit.

Your quality of life is disgusting. And coming from throwing $400 on a round of drinks at the bar and living my lifestyle, it was like a little, I was like, I really had to kind of question myself if I was doing the right thing. But I understood the struggle of a lot of people. So how was I gonna inform on some guy

who's maybe got a second job, which you're not allowed to do in the academy? So I said, no. I was like, you know what? I can't do this undercover shit. And I picked the next best thing, which was transit. I don't know if you ever seen the movie Money Train. I haven't.

Wesley Snipes and Woodard Harrelson, they're like two plain clothes, anti-crime cops, and they work in the subway. And I was like, I bet you those things still exist. And I started looking into it like, yeah, those are like plain clothes, anti-crime cops, and they work in the subway. And I was like, I bet you those things still exist. And I started looking into it. Like, yeah, those are like plain clothes guys. They can go city-wide and stuff like that. It's like, it's basically undercover work until you actually say, hey, take out your shield.

You're not in uniform. You're not in uniform. You're riding the trains like an everyday civilian. So eventually I knew I wanted to go somewhere along those lines, for the most part. So I got into the trade. Transit was a good place to be. You get overtime and everything.

So I picked transit. So they did me the favor, and they put place to be. You get overtime and everything. So I picked transit. So they did me the favor and they put me in transit and that was kind of the start of my career. How much crime was happening on transit on the subway? There's always crime happening. There is always crime happening. I don't care what reports you see. I don't care what news reports or articles that come out

and stuff like that. There is crime happening in the city 24 seven 365. It's always going on the people that say crime is down and this and that yeah it might be or it's just transition to another part of the city crime does it's almost like a balloon when you squeeze it on one end it expands on the other and you could see that just with Times Square in the Bronx when Times Square was all prostitutes and stuff like that when they decided to clean it up all the pimps and

prostitutes and all the peeps shows they decided to clean it up, all the pimps and prostitutes and all the peep shows and get them all out of there, Giuliani was big and cleaning all that up. Where do you think all the pimps and prostitutes went? Do you think they just died? No, they went to places like East New York, the South Bronx, it's like a balloon. Just inflates in other areas.

So they might be like, oh my God, look, crime in Times Square is so much down. Yeah, but you're not accounting for other parts of the city. And also the fact that a lot of crime goes unreported. A lot of people will not report the crime just because they don't want to lose time out of their day if you're a Tried and tested in New Yorker. You already know how the system works. You're gonna go down to the precinct You're gonna stand in stand for somebody lining you up and you got to sit through the lineup Or you might have to go through books of pictures and this and that then you have to come by come back All it is is costing you time and money

to put this scumbag away. Why should you do it? That's what a lot of people think. I can't do it. I don't have anybody to take care of my kid. I don't have anybody to work my shift. My boss won't give me off. I'm behind on my rent.

You name it, everybody has an excuse in New York. And it's a valid excuse a lot of these times. Because you've got to have 10,000 hustles just to survive. So why am I going to take my time out of my day? And that is something that I think needs to be accounted for. And if it is, the numbers are definitely skewed. I think whatever percent that they're giving,

it's a lot higher. A lot of New Yorkers seem to be desensitized to crime when you see the videos of people on the subway and there's a crime right on the video and they don't even care. You know what it is? They had to make a campaign in New York. If you see something, say something,

because we're used to minding our business. And I think that was kind of just us growing up in these neighborhoods. Like you saw something or whatever, you can't be a mouth shut and mind your business unless you wanted it to be affected, you wanted to be affected by it. You know what I mean?

And that's just, I think that's a rule that kind of carries over for the whole world. Even nowadays, you know, like people don't want to get involved because if you get involved, something could happen to you. I mean, we're talking about subway situations. Look at the recent case with Daniel Penny. He was acquitted. Thank God, you know, but what was he doing?

An ex-marine trying to help someone on the train, crazy person on the train, attacking, menacing, whatever you want to do, harassing, whatever you want to say, harassing people. He put a stop to that. Sometimes you got to put people down. Words don't matter. The people are crazy. Don't you understand? Like they're not going to have the same common sense as you. And I mean, when I say don't you, I'm talking to the general public that says like, Oh, well, there's other ways of handling it. There is no other way of handling talking to a crazy person. Sometimes sometimes it's hands-on, I gotta put you down before something happens to someone else here. And I think that's being a Marine, that's what he was trained as, eliminate the threat. And that guy was a threat. And in my opinion, he was a hero,

but what do heroes get? They get thrown in jail, they get accused of murder and all that other stuff. So why the fuck would I step? Why would I step in anywhere and stop anything? Even me, nowadays, I mean, I won't do it. If I see a kid getting hurt, that's why I draw a line, like, yo, don't put your hands on a kid. And I saw that once, like a grown man attacking a kid and I hopped out of the car. That guy's lucky when he almost got fucked up because there was like six grown guys

that got out of their cars and was like, yo, what's going on here? He was right, he was fucking fighting with like a 12 year old, 14 year old. Kid talk shit to him. All right, he's a kid, whatever. They're supposed to talk shit. You know what I mean?

You don't put your hands on a kid like that. That's kind of the only way I'll stop out Even a guy and a woman, you know, like nowadays equal rights equal lefts, I guess If you're equal as a woman and you throw hands at a man, you better be ready to get hit back You know, so the woman that got burned. I was terrible. That was crazy. I was terrible But that's the migrant crisis that guy was a migrant Ecuadorian. I was excuse me I'm a Guatemalan migrant that came over illegally. He was so, that's what I mean about sick people. The guy lit the person on fire,

and they found him like this, on a subway train, sleeping. Crazy. If you just lit someone on fire, my adrenaline would be through the roof. I wouldn't be able to stay still or whatever, any normal person at least, if you just lit someone on fire. It was like another day in the park for him. Did you see when the officers caught him?

Yeah, he's literally knocked out like he just worked the shift No, like you know like the normal you know little by sign Oh, you see on the train that just worked hard in the restaurant or construction or whatever that's Ted in the home fucking sick Man sick, how can you do that and just like nothing happened? You know I don't understand how many illegal migrants got into New York, you think? They said 200,000. I think it's more. Damn. That's a lot.

You know what? Like I say this all the time, I'm not against immigration. I'm against illegal immigration, that's for sure. Because we're all children of immigrants. And is it fair that maybe your uncle, who's worked very hard in his own country, or your cousin, or your brother, that's been on the waiting list

and doing all the right things doesn't get a shot and all these people get a shot first. You know what I mean? Back in the day they used to put people on Ellis Island if you had this kind of disease or this it was almost like a incubation period or kind of like waiting period to see if you passed to go on to the mainland or whatever. We should bring back something like that. Just letting them come over, unvetted, you don't know who it is, there's tons of single males. This is not like, you know, South Americans trying to come over to work better. We've got a significant gang problem now in this country because of this open border. You know, the Venezuelan gangs, El Tren de Aragua, they call themselves, the Araguan train. They are

a transnational organized crime syndicate. We're not talking about just some regular gang members here. I mean, they have tentacles that stretch back to Venezuela, they control migrants smuggling in Chile. I mean, if you look at all the recent articles in the news, I mean, they supposedly took over an apartment complex in Colorado, they shot at cops in Times Square, a place in Miami. You know, they're running a huge cell phone and drug trafficking organization. I mean, these guys are established and they're not here to... They came over the border with everyone else. And they're not here to help or benefit this country in any way. They're here to rob, rape and pillage.

And that's what they've been doing. When you were a police officer, did you have any run-ins with those gangs? I had a lot of run-ins with South American gangs because I used to work, majority of my career I worked in Queens. I did hop around, I worked in Brooklyn, I did a little in the Bronx. Everybody fights in the Bronx, that's one thing. But it's like that homegrown New York feeling in the Bronx. The Bronx is still like 1980s, kind of feels like that, you know, some areas. But I worked a lot on the 7 Line and if you go on the 7 Line on Roosevelt Avenue, it's gotten significantly worse throughout the years. you can see there's tons and tons of videos

I see them all the time prostitutes getting pushed into somebody getting pushed and stuff like that Prostitutes the gangs the shootings the stabbings. So when I worked there, they were still there I don't know if it was such out and it was still out in the open But now it's like right in your face, you know They've tried to do initiatives if you see it, but it's all smoke and mirrors. You've seen the former police commissioner and the assistant commissioner and they do this operation Roosevelt Avenue. That shit is smoke and mirrors, man.

And they know it. They crack down on one spot, it goes into another one. Like these guys are coming over and doing all this crime and they're so entrenched in this neighborhood that it's nothing new. So when I was working on the seven line, you didn't have Tren de Aragua, but you did have MS-13. There's other gangs called ABK, some of the Dominican gangs, the Trinitarios and stuff like that. They'd be more on the Corona side.

The Latin Kings, throughout my day, were growing up there. They were there. They kind of veered off to Brooklyn and the Bronx now, but you have a significant amount of South American gangbangers, 18th Street, they're all there. I posted a video on my channel, I have this channel where I talk about organized crime and time and time again, corruption connection, and there's one segment that actually got taken down by YouTube. Really?

Yeah, and I got flagged for it actually, which sucks. I was talking about it in my other interview, and people were like, oh, you're full of shit. That didn't happen. There was two gang members who got into a fight on the platform. I believe it was either 82nd or 90th Street. They head into a scuffle.

The guy takes out a gun and kills the guy right on the platform. Bom, bom, bom. It's all on video. Get shot or whatever. These are gang members. One had like a mixture. So I repost the context. I blurted it out, and I was talking about it or whatever

on the context of my story. And it actually got taken down by YouTube. They're strict with guns. But this is going back. That video was going back years when I was a cop. That's what I'm saying. The gang violence has always been there. I believe those guys were 18th Street.

One gang from one gang for another gang, they saw each other right on the platform, just got into it and boom, boom, boom, shot him like he was a dog. So that kind of a violence always existed, you know? But I think now you're seeing it in way greater numbers. You know, before a lot of people didn't even know, but like, oh, whatever, two gangbangers shot each other.

But now like a lady getting set on fire on the train Recently when the when a Venezuelan migrant had came over he got into a fight with some guy the guy pulled out a gun But the migrant took the gun and shot him on you know It's like it's a lot of shootings a lot of stabbings and the greatest part about it is that New York City just now this past week a implemented congestion pricing, which makes it so expensive to drive into Manhattan. Why are they doing that?

They're trying to push people into the subway system, but people are scared. How can you raise the price on them going into the city or whatever driving? They're like, oh, it's a win for New Yorkers. What New Yorkers? Who's winning when you got to pay more at the toll or forcing me to go take my life in my hands now riding the subway? I can maybe afford the Uber or whatever for 10 bucks, you know, but any raise the price of the subway. So it's like, maybe I could afford the Uber for 10, 12, whatever $20. But now I got to pay whatever the subway prices. I don't know what they

raise it to, but let's say for a round trip, like $7, which is half the thing, but I got to deal with possibly getting set on fire. God forbid I close my eyes, and so somebody snatches my phone, which happens every day, or somebody puts a knife on me. Like, you know. You're on edge, yeah.

Yeah, it's like, come on. I don't know what they're doing. The tolls are already like 20 bucks, man, from Jersey. That's crazy they raised that. Well, now it's congestion pricing. So anywhere below, it's like, they raise the tolls, but then they put this pricing on,

they want less traffic. But I mean, that just affects almost the common everyday New Yorker You know like if you're if you're just if you have a business Let's say you know I don't know how it works with the ubers and everything But let's say you have like a delivery business where you're going back and forth into the city over the Williamsburg Bridge Which I think was once free you know and you know now you got to pay a congestion toll But she from 60th Street below you know it's like who the fuck is gonna want to go there who can even afford to go It's gonna eat away your bottom line. That Street below. You know, it's like, who the fuck is going to want to go there? Who can even afford to go there?

It's going to eat away at your bottom line. That's nuts. You know? Who's to blame for all the gang stuff right now? Do you think it's the mayor, Eric Adams? I think it's a combination of failed leadership all across the board. I think it's Governor Houchel, who actually

made that statement, this is a huge win for New Yorkers in regards to congestion pricing. I don't know how that's a win at all. I mean, I don't know how that's a win at all. I mean, I don't, but whatever. Her being very out of touch with society. I believe she had made a statement about kids in the Bronx don't even know how to use computers. Little black kids in the Bronx

don't even know how to use computers. Something along those lines. They're very out of touch, a lot of these politicians. She shouldn't have been governor at all. But, and then you have Eric Adams, who's the mayor, who's currently under indictment. And, you know, he... I mean, in my opinion, he's corrupt. You know, if you look at all the evidence around him,

his chief of department or one of his top chiefs just got indicted and suspended for a pay-to-play, sex to play, sex for overtime kind of scandal that's going on right now. And this is all under Eric Adams' watch. He's indicted on his own case. There's tons of indictments flying all over the place. I mean, the whole thing stinks of corruption. It's one of the most popular topics right now.

Yeah, it's never happened to a mayor to get indicted federally, right? I don't believe so. I think there was one that maybe got indicted, but he stepped down. Was it Jimmy Walker, maybe? This was a big one. Plus, they found out he was having

parties during the pandemic. The guy was in Miami. They caught him on cell phone or whatever. Well, he's supposed to be taking care of the city. He got in Miami. And now he's taking money from the Turkish government. He's in Saudi Arabia. I mean, he's crossing the line.

It was almost like the old school Tammany Hall. I'm a student of history. It was a pay you know, as long as you had the money or whatever you could corrupt all these politicians and what it's looking like or whatever is that he's been bought and paid for. Now he's trying to get pardoned it looks like. It's funny, man, you know, because he was like a staunch like, you know, I'm for the migrants, you know, don't tell us how we New Yorkers, you know, but stop waiting for me to fail the ship. And all this like, hoorah, left this shit. And then you see him at the USC fight,

all kissing Trump's ass when he gets elected, when he got voted in. Nice, dude. New York, to me personally, hasn't felt the same since the pandemic. I feel like the pandemic messed it up. 1,000%. Like everyone was dipping.

1,000%. I mean, I can kind of attest to that myself, you know, during the pandemic, I started coming out to Vegas a lot more than usual. New York was completely closed. I mean, Vegas was always like an escape for me. And now I live here, I kind of made it a permanent thing. But I mean, during the pandemic, it was a no brainer.

They kind of had some sense here. Like, listen, like, you know, it was not as many people as normal, but things were still open. You could kind of get around, you know? New York, it just, it was not as many people as normal, but things were still open. You could kind of get around. New York, it killed small businesses. A lot of people couldn't reopen. And if you saw a lot of people that did reopen,

they weren't the same. Some changed, some didn't. They were no longer 24 hours. They had that stupid fucking sidewalk seating thing, that was just a money grab by the city. And that's what I feel like, it's just money grabs. That's what I say when the government took all the mobs tactics.

All they did was make them legal. They're in the marijuana game now, they're sports betting, you just name it. And it's like all these things that they're doing, these hidden taxes, just tricks they learned from organized crime, they just made them legal. Doesn't mean they're good. Some of them are good, but some of them are terrible.

They ruin everything. It's crazy, because you look up like, as a kid growing up to respect the government and police officers And then you realize they're corrupt too. Yeah, they're worse to be honest with you listen. I've had experience with Mobsters politicians cops lawyers judges like I've had experience with all of them sat down the tables with them broke bread with them been to events with them. The legal side are some of the most corrupt, scumbag people that you'd ever meet. A mobster, if you gave him your hand

and you shook hands with him, most likely 99% of the time he gave you his word, his word was bond. I mean, I've done so many legitimate business deals. Like if I knew I was gonna borrow money from someone I don't want to give you your money back or whatever on you know organized crime or something like that bookie like You know loan shark you shake their hand or whatever like you put my bet in yeah my bet You know your bets good that you're coming with the money

I've always been an entrepreneur You know so now that I'm older and I do these more bigger deals like real estate and stuff that I'm into and you give people Your fucking hand you shake and You even have contracts they intentionally don't fuck you because they'd rather go to you know You're not gonna spend the time to go to the legal system and sue me and it costs time and this and that it's like They already have in your head to fuck with you. You know and and you know, I've seen that with a lot of Quote unquote lawyers who are you know supposed to be the most up, you know, respectable people and a lot of politicians, you know, just scumbag behavior that you would

never see from a mobster ever, you know, but you know, politicians are, you know, they're just the breed of their own. Well, the legal system's 100% been weaponized. You saw that with Trump and you're seeing that in New York. New York's conviction conviction rates what 98% something crazy I Could tell you personally from dealing with the ADA's dealing with the Queen's District Attorney where I made a lot of my arrest Brooklyn Brooklyn is like a free-for-all they only want the most serious thing like you got caught with a gun in Brooklyn used to be Like a year in a day now you can just the whole city. You can just basically get out Wow, but they Select the arrest process is all selective. 98% because they know what they're gonna win and what they're not gonna win and how much publicity in

this. It's all politicized you know and like you said once it becomes political you can weaponize it. And then where are we going with this as far as freedom and everything else? Like we're turning into a totalitarianism state here or you know it's like, I don't wanna say communism, but it's like, you're tracked here, you can't do this, you can't do this. Like what freedom do we really have? I mean, I think we were heading towards communism

under Democrats, to be honest. I agree with you. You have to put a mask on here, you have to do this, you can't do this. All this shit with- Social media censorship. Yeah, like people getting barred from saying certain things like my video gets flagged on YouTube Meanwhile, you can show it on you can show porn and all this other kind of stuff

I just recently so no even on Facebook I saw on Facebook would have a girl pleasure in herself completely nude and everything with the what with a toy Oh, yeah, and I'm like am I think it's sensitive and I blurted out and everything I'm like, this is crazy. I got a lot of strikes early on the show when it was Democratic leadership For like vaccine stuff. That's another thing like scenes. Yeah, like certain topics. They really don't want out there So when we were talking about this whole migrant thing, right my channel was doing this because I talk about organized crime history I try I try to delve on that. I'm gonna start talking about my personal life, because I see it's kind of popular. It got me here.

But that being said, my most successful video was actually a Vegas story about a mobster knocking out Frank Sinatra's teeth. So you see my channel doing this, right? And I guess I was a little ahead before my time. If you go on YouTube right now, the first video about that gang I was a little ahead before my time if you go on YouTube right now the first video about that gang I was telling you the Venezuelan gang and I was bringing awareness to train their Agua It's like Venezuelan gang or migrants taking over. I forget the exact title My channel did this damn immediately, bro immediately

I'm talking about I was getting thousands of views like hundreds of views then it started going like 1k then 1.1 1.2 And then it started just going up and then I got 64,000 on that Sinatra video. It was like great All of a sudden and you could look this up. There's not a video before mine I believe on YouTube about this gang I was the first one to ever put a video out on them and it fucking did this now that it's the hot topic that Could talk about it or whatever now all the videos are doing well, but they don't want you to talk about something I don't want to call it a shadow ban or whatever

But I mean Jesus like all of a sudden it was the same kind of video quality I didn't really change anything. I'm talking about a news story, but it's because that what they didn't want to hear at that time I feel like they Shit on that video and my channel went down and ever since then it's been hard for me to like gain that momentum Yeah, no, I've had that with certain guests if that platform doesn't like the guests I have them on my views the whole month will be shot. I've had that with certain guests if that platform doesn't like to guess I have them on my views The whole month will be shot just really had that person on Bullshit. Yeah, because they shadow banned certain people or some of them full-on banned people and then I'll have them on

Hmm, and then if I post them on that platform, my views are down 90% really it's crazy But I think times are getting better now. I think we're due for a change I think people have just had enough of it, you know, you know You can have your little left side or whatever. Obviously you can tell by the way I talk, I'm not a leftist, you know, I'm not even an extreme writers. I'm like, whatever makes sense. Sometimes the left does make sense most of the time. No, but sometimes they do. And then, you know, I take it. I take everything with a grain of salt and then I kind of develop my own hypothesis here, you know? So when you go too far left, when you start to change question biology and stuff like that,

oh, men can have babies and all this kind of shit, that's a mental illness now. You know what I mean? Now we're talking about a different side of the spectrum here. We no longer can have an intelligent debate about men and women if you're sitting here telling me that a biological man can get pregnant.

I've totally shut myself off. Which way did the mob guys lean politically from what you saw? Well I think most of them kind of supported Trump I would say. I'm trying to think like the lady years or whatever who I would know. Growing up I think they were all very friendly with the Democrats from what I could see because the Democrats could be corrupted. Like Schumer, those guys have been in power for fucking solo, and Pelosi. Pelosi's the best stock trader in history.

You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, you know, I think that most of the mob guys were friendly with the politicians as far as the Democrats because they were corruptible. You know, did they like, you know, the Republicans that were tough on crime and stuff? I think in some aspects, yes, because for the most part, nobody really wants crime and shit in their neighborhood, and they're criminals, they know, they all live in nice areas.

But they only hurt each other, they weren't hurting random people, that's why I respect it too. That too. I put a, it's part of my intro, it's from the famed French connection detective, Sonny Grasso. This is a guy who busted up the ring.

Him and his partner, Eddie Egan. They were two of the best criminal detectives, I think, that the NYPD's ever seen, in my opinion. And Sonny came from East Harlem, which was Italian Harlem, and that was the mecca of heroin trafficking back in the day. Everybody thinks about the cartels now, but the real original cartels were the Italians. Had it before maybe like Jewish

and a lot of other of the gangsters, they were big into heroin importation, morphine and stuff like that. But what we know as I guess the modern-day drug trafficking organization were the Italians. The French Connection, which was primarily based out of Italian East Harlem. That's where most of the dope in the country came from. Yeah. So, um. Who do you think the most powerful criminal organization is right now?

Do you think it's the cartels? I would say so. Yeah. Definitely the cartels, definitely certain countries, I would say, you know, in the Middle East, they have, they're very rich in the opium, like I was saying, you know, in the Middle East. They have, they're very rich in the opium, like I was saying, you know, the Golden Triangle. You know, there's a lot of warlords that we hear about that never have even done jail time

and have been some of the biggest drug traffickers ever. Kumsar, you ever heard of him? From like out of Burma. CIA connected, imported more drugs to this country, I think, than anyone ever and I don't think you ever did a day in jail. Damn. So I mean those guys are the most powerful criminal organization I guess is the United States government now because they're connected to all these people. For real. Without them they

wouldn't exist. You piss off this government whatever they'll come after you. I agree. Let's end off with some food. Best pizza in Vegas. That's an oxymoron that question because I can't legitimately give that answer because some of these people out here don't know what pizza is. I'm convinced. And if they've never been, you're from Jersey. If you've never been to the tri-state area, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and had fresh bread out of a bakery, a bagel from a Jewish bagel shop, an Italian pizzeria that's been around for a long time No frills regular Sicilian kind of slices. You don't know what the real thing is So you cannot be a judge of food out here

I laugh at all these fucking content creators that come out here and like oh, this is the best pizza blah blah blah In my opinion even the ones that come over here. They try to open them up They're still a little off like Prince Street pizza came over and they opened up into theango, they're good, but they're still a little off. Like the crust is very different. I like a place called Manzu. They do their homemade pasta. They also do pizza, wood fire grill. It's good. It's very good for Italian food. What about bagels? After they hear this, we're going to go for dinner. So we better get this comped. All right. What about bagels after they hear this we're gonna go for dinner so we better get this comp. They're right What about bagels I've been struggling on bagels bro bagels are non-existent. Let me tell you they don't exist There's one place it's in the middle of Henderson. I forget the name of the top of my head. They're okay But I wouldn't even send anyone there. They're gonna be like, what is it Einstein? No hell no

No Einstein bagel mania, all these, uh, New York bagel on Buffalo. It's all garbage and cut. This is coming from a New York. I was in the food industry, so I'm a little biased, but just a regular no frill shop. There's tons of bagel stores and pizzerias that I've never even been to in New York City. And when I go for the first time, I expect them to taste good and they usually do. They don't disappoint. When I go to these places, I went to this place and I mean I hate the shit on a business but they weren't really nice in there

anyway. It's called the bagel nook. Okay the girl goes behind the fucking counter to give me the bagel. I swear to god I thought it was a wax model. It looked fake. It looked like they painted on the everything seasoning. I was like that's what you're gonna give me? That's like it and it tasted just like it looked. So that's why I'm convinced they spent all this money to open up a spot. They really don't know what it tastes like because if you invested that much money into a business, you wouldn't be selling that kind of product. I'll tell you that.

Maybe they do well out here, I don't know. I think the majority doesn't know. Well, that's the thing though. Might be a little opportunity or whatever for somebody to take it over. People that grew up here in Nkali, they never had a East Coast bagel or pizza. I know that, I know and I can tell right away because the recommendations I get

Like you say my favorite pizza and I don't even want to say because it's like somebody's gonna come to me and be like That's your favorite pizza tone and I'm gonna try to tell them like I understand but like Manzo's pretty good But they're not yeah, I'm not walking into a spot in order in a slice. It doesn't exist doesn't exist, bro There's a couple but it's been a blast man Anything you want to close off with here? No, man, you know just everybody.
