Sana SaeedGUEST
And that's also worrying.
Sana SaeedGUEST
I mean, one of the most disastrous NYPD commissioners in New York history was Ray Kelly.
Sana SaeedGUEST
And I think that she could very well exceed the damage that he did.
Sana SaeedGUEST
So I think it's not just disappointing.
Mitch PerryHOST
And you know this, Danny Alvarez, because it kind of moved in the committee process, and then all of a sudden people were like, Whoa, what do we got going on here? Some said it invoked echoes of COINTELPRO, the FBI's special counterintelligence program created in the 50s and 60s to neutralize political dissent.
Mitch PerryHOST
Now, you noted that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Chief Ray Kelly had created a dedicated counterterrorism unit within the New York City Police Department.
Mitch PerryHOST
staffed with 1,000 officers after federal intelligence services failed to prevent the 9-11 attacks.
Mitch PerryHOST
And you said, history shows us that when we depend on the federal government, Florida loses.
Arthur AidalaHOST
So obviously we know the tone that Rudy Giuliani put in there.
Arthur AidalaHOST
And then, you know, if it wasn't Mayor Bloomberg himself, it was Ray Kelly, 12 years as the police commissioner.
Arthur AidalaHOST
Like everyone knew, like, you know, we're not you're not messing with Ray Kelly.
Arthur AidalaHOST
I think you would agree that even within the department, you kind of knew that you didn't mess with Ray Kelly.
Arthur AidalaHOST
Is that a fair assessment?
Vincent J. VallelongGUEST
That's 100 percent true.
Vincent J. VallelongGUEST
I mean, Ray Kelly, Ray Kelly, ex-Marine.
Vincent J. VallelongGUEST
I mean, you he the way he conducted himself, you know, you knew that you when he said something, you had to listen to him.
Sal GrecoHOST
They told him to leave.
Sal GrecoHOST
And at that time, and this, remember, who was in charge was Ray Kelly and them.
Sal GrecoHOST
They didn't want this bad publicity to make cops look bad because you had one guy who was not so centered and a little crooked.
Sal GrecoHOST
And that's why he left, and we don't know how he even got a gun, right? Because he left in good standing after this? I don't know.
6 MINS LATER
Sal GrecoHOST
But...
Sal GrecoHOST
This is the original incident that happened all these years ago.
Sal GrecoHOST
And then, you know, Popeye, a.k.a. Ray Kelly, didn't want this out in the public because it would make police look bad because this was at the time when he was in charge.
Jack SternHOST
Here's where the original incident took place, by the way.
Greg KellyHOST
They didn't do anything.
Greg KellyHOST
I mean, what were they supposed to do? You know who was the police commissioner at that time in 1993? Ray Kelly.
Greg KellyHOST
All right, he was a pretty kick-ass police commissioner, you may recall.
Greg KellyHOST
And the New York City bombing of the World Trade Center just happened.
Frank MoranoGUEST
So, yes, crime statistics are important.
Frank MoranoGUEST
You know, the whole Bill Bratton, Ray Kelly, et cetera, you know, driving the decline of crime was data-driven through things like Comstat.
Frank MoranoGUEST
But as much as the statistics make a difference, so does the nature of the crime and random violence in a confined public space has an enormous impact on people's willingness to use mass transit.
Frank MoranoGUEST
And Nicole Gelinas, who I was talking to you about at lunch the other day, she's been great on this.
Michael GoodwinGUEST
And yet, she has not been commissioner in a way that favors any group over another.
Michael GoodwinGUEST
She has been very even-handed, and she has been fundamentally sound in using the tactics and the knowledge developed over years of intelligence gathering under the giuliani years right and then the bloomberg years so her her uh real real supporters were ray kelly and bill bratton now that's quite a lineage
Mark SimoneHOST
yeah
Michael GoodwinGUEST
and she is the inheritor of their uh police leadership so she is doing a fine fine job and i think mom donnie would be crazy to fire her just to give a scalp To the far-left maniacs.
Michael GoodwinGUEST

Saritha KomatireddyGUEST
I have to tell you, like I said before, we're getting an outpouring s- of support, and it's from all political backgrounds.
Saritha KomatireddyGUEST
I was excited to announce earlier this week we got the endorsement of a prominent Democrat, uh, Ray Kelly, the longest-serving police commissioner in New York City.
Saritha KomatireddyGUEST
He served under Mayor Dinkins and Mayor Bloomberg, uh, and he came out and endorsed me in this race.
Saritha KomatireddyGUEST
We've gotten endorsements from police unions across the state, uh, and, uh, transit workers unions and a number of individuals who've come out for us just, just because public safety isn't about partisanship.
