| 0:00.0 | Welcome to The Investigation. I'm Senior Executive Producer Chris Vlasto. We're going to take a couple weeks off for the holidays.

| 1:26.8 | I'm Brad Milky. |
| 1:36.5 | When the governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, came out this weekend and the hours after a horrific stabbing at a Hanukkah celebration, he gave this attack a label. |
