A good life is never lived without a bit of risk. And this battle is well worth everyone. A good life is never lived without a bit of risk. And this battle is well worth everyone. Episode 56, no gruffs given. There's a lot going on. A lot going on everywhere. We have a big UFC fight this weekend.

We have a war waging in our country right now. Former President Donald Trump was indicted and arrested in New York City this week.

Eric Adams, the mayor of New York. Everybody's given their two cents worth. Everybody's dipping their toe in the water on this.

I think the most important thing is that we have to be realistic about everything. I'll start with this. Whatever you have to say about President Trump, it seems like this is a far-fetched ploy on somebody's part.

That's not so much what I'm concerned about. I'm concerned about when you peel back the layers. And it's as simple as this. I saw a stat. New York City for 2022.

433 murders, 1615 rapes, 17,000 robberies, 26,000 felony assaults, 15,000 burglaries, 51,000 grand larcenies, and 13,000 car thefts.

Now, I'm not sure if you've seen the news, but this past week, a gentleman, hard work and man who worked through the whole entire pandemic works in a parking garage in New York City.

And another gentleman came in and tried to steal a car. Now, the man that works at the parking garage, he said, you know what? I'm sick of this. I'm not going to just let this guy steal the car.

And I guess they got into a little bit of a wrestling match and the parking attendant got shot twice, but he ended up getting the guy's gun and he shoots the robber once.

Well, they both got arrested. And the man that works in the parking garage, he wakes up. He's got two bullet wounds and he's handcuffed to his hospital bed.

Now, Alvin Bregg, who I believe is the, I don't even know what his term is, is the attorney general or something of New York state, the district attorney.

He's the one that approved the charges on the parking attendant, right? So just like the guy in the deli, the gentleman in the deli up in the Bronx, I don't know, one was at last summer,

so he protected himself and ended up killing another guy that was trying to kill him, rob him. We're seeing massive, massive injustices. I mean, that, that is just factual.

You know, the FDNY, NYPD hockey game is this weekend. It's a big game, you know.

And, you know, like I, I, I remember the old New York, you know, I, I remember the New York going to play in New York after 9-11 with the Red Wings.

And like that city, it was a city that was, that was beaming with pride. People were proud to be in New Yorkers, you know.

You, you, you had a mayor, Giuliani that, that say what you will about big Rudy, but after 9-11, you know, he really stepped up.

He really stepped up. He was a calming presence in New York City.

The respect that I had for NYPD, just back then, as somebody who didn't live in the city, you saw something that was, you know,

men going into those, into those towers, dads, uncles, brothers, husbands, women that went into those towers.
