We'll get to attack in a second. We do have some breaking news.

0:03.5

I saw Commissioner Jessica Tisch on Saturday at the funeral for Patrick Brady-Wavre Tucker.

0:09.4

The FDNY Commissioner joined us on this program earlier today.

0:13.0

There is news about a police officer, I believe, in Brooklyn.

0:16.8

Norm, take it away.

0:17.5

Yeah, and a police officer shot this morning.

0:19.5

This was about 8 o'clock. This is what we know so far.

0:21.9

Police were called to this home on Boylan Street in Brownsville, Brooklyn, about 8 o'clock this morning.

0:27.8

They were investigating a homicide.

0:29.9

Somebody from inside that building started shooting at officers.

0:33.5

Officers started firing back.

0:35.9

They hit one of the officers.

0:37.3

He was rushed to Brookdale

0:39.6

Hospital in the back of a police cruiser. We just got information that he's in stable condition

0:43.9

expected to survive. So that's the good news. No, we don't know, but I'm sure we'll find out.

0:48.1

I'll find out all this, Delaney. So that person who shot at the officer is still barricaded in the building. So it's a volatile scene, yeah, right now. Just one shooter? So far, that's what we know. And what's the address again? I mean, what street? It's on Boylan Street in Brownsville. Wow, Boilin Street, Brownsville. Well, Nome, we'll keep you updated all morning long. Lisa G., Jim F. We've got the best news department in the city if, in fact, they take this guy down or arrest the man, whatever happens. We will let you know. So again, officer hit. He's in stable condition. It'll be okay, thank God. And the bad guy. We got more information. Yeah, we're just getting some piece of news that the person inside this building has been shot dead. Oh, good. Yeah. Okay. So there was a happy ending. Good. Shot dead. Beautiful. Not less taxes for somebody else to go to prison and eat food that I have to pay for. Joe Taco Peanut doesn't want to hear stuff like that. He's a defense attorney, but I don't care. Shot dead. You shoot a cop. You should die. Either the police kill you or you go to the gas chamber or electric chair, whatever it is. You should a cop, you should die. Joe Tocopinna, what's up, my brother? How are you? You know, they don't have gas chambers anymore. I know, whatever it is, I know. I'm Jewish. I can say that. But I'm being serious. However, you can kill these bastards. Just kill them. Yeah, listen, on a visceral level, I agree with you. I mean, I've no problem. Cops to be our heroes, you know, our military, they're

2:18.2

heroes. They risk that light. Look, you and I go to work every day, Sid, and we hope we have a good day at work. Your ratings are good. I make some money, whatever. That's what we hope for. Cops go to work every day and hope that they're going to come home. So when you, you know, juxtapose those two perspectives in life, I agree with you.

2:34.8

Anyone who harms a cop intentionally.

2:37.0

I mean, I saw a video the other day, I wanted to bomb it. And I'm so glad she got caught this lady in Times Square. Some cop is chasing somebody, a violent felon. She puts out her leg to trip the cop. No way. I don't know if you saw the video. I didn't see it, no. And like literally proud of her leg to trip the top. He would have done her face plant and gotten really hurt. He jumped over it somehow and turned around it and basically. They arrested her, though, right? What's that? Did they arrest her? Oh, yeah. Good, good. Good, and Alvin Bragg will give her a, you know, well, of course. Alvin Braggle give her that, and then, like, Heshoognebaum just sent me, somebody call a social worker. Next time you've got somebody in the house barricaded like that, Mom Dany is going to suggest Jessica Tisch call a social worker. That's going to go well, no? Yeah, I heard he wants to go to Washington, D.C., to meet with the president. Today? I believe he's going today. I just had your friend Eric Trump on, and I believe that Mom Dany may be with President Trump today, which is enough to make me nauseous. And President Trump, it's enough already with the Epstein files. You know, I saw Stephen A. Smith

3:42.6

go crazy this weekend. He was actually right. He goes, wait a second. The Biden administration

3:47.9

wanted to kill Trump every day. If there was something with President Trump, right, they would

3:54.2

have released it. What are we? And oh my God, Stephen just texted me. What is the big deal with this stuff? You know, let's begin with the only thing that matters in the court of law. This is a case, a criminal case, right? Let's begin with the only thing that matters in a court of law. Evidence, right?
