0:00.0	From the smallest room in New York City comes a show that gives you a reason to live.
0:04.4	What's happening, Pete? How are you, Pat? I'm good. I guess it's a crime to throw a bottle down at the feet of a jogger.
0:10.7	It seems like it's illegal, but apparently, yeah, she yelled at something that seems kind of racial, something about going back to Africa or something.
0:17.7	Yeah, that's not nice. No, that is not a nice thing. I guess black people do get harassed when they jog.
0:23.9	Well, even more so when somebody starts flinging bottles at you, I would be upset.

1:32.7	Has there always been a hate crimes task force in New York City?
1:34.9	We started the hate crimes.
