from the smallest room in New York City

comes a show that gives you a reason to live.

Man, a lot of shootings.

And I know that every show starts out the same these days.

Oh, the shootings.

A lot of shootings.

However, how about some numbers here?

The, let's see, for 2020 so far, going into August, the, the number of shootings is now overtaken,

uh, 2019.

Wow.

They are up by 71%.

Mm-hmm.

Yes.

And the number of shooting victims, uh, victims now is up 76% and has likewise passed last year's

total for the year. last year as we head

into August now homicides are lagging behind only 29% except transit homicides which are up

100% from 2 to 4 so I mean they can't really make that a thing, right?

And now, the New York City Crime Report is simple projection for 2020.

I'm going to say total shootings, 1,314.

That's a guess.

That's where you go. That's what we're pin in it, 1,314.

Yeah.
