GETTING AN EARFUL AS SHE WAS
LEAVING THE WAKE OF NYPD OFFICER
JONATHAN DILLER OVER IN MASS
PEEK EQUAL.
A SOURCE TELLS ME THIS HAPPENED
MOMENTS AFTER HOCHUL REFUSED TO
ABIDE BY THE FAMILY'S WISHES.
THEY WERE DOING OPEN CASKET
VIEWING AND SHE DID NOT WANT TO
WAIT ON THE OUTSIDE.
SHEEFD CAME IN WHILE THEY WERE
CLOSING THE CASKET.
AS SHE STORMED IN.
THEY JUST COULDN'T STOP HER.
I'M TOLD THAT FAMILY MEMBERS LET
HER HAVE IT WHEN SHE GOT THERE
SAYING, QUOTE: HIS BLOOD IS ON
YOUR HANDS.
WHEN HOCHUL GOT OUTSIDE, THAT'S
WHEN ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER
CONFRONTED HER TELLING HER THAT
THE GOVERNOR, THAT THE
GOVERNOR'S LAWS NEED TO CHANGE
BECAUSE THAT'S THE REASON WHY
OFFICER DILLER IS DEAD TONIGHT.
HOCHUL WASN'T THE ONLY ONE
APPROACH, ERIC ADAMS AND D.A.
ALVIN BRAGG WERE BOTH CONFRONTED
DIRECTLY THIS TIME BY OFFICER
DILL EARLY'S WIFE.
THE SOURCE TELLS ME SHE LET THEM
HAVE IT, TOO.
TELLING THEM THE SAME THING THAT
WAS TOLD TO HOCHUL, HIS BLOOD IS
ON YOUR HANDS.
I UNDERSTAND THAT BRAGG KEPT
QUIET AND FOR A SECOND IT LOOKED
LIKE GOING TO ENGAGE.
HE REALIZED WEIGHS HEAVILY
OUTNUMBERED AND A POLITICIAN
THOUGHT BETTER OF IT AND LEFT.
THE MOST SHOCKING PART ABOUT ALL
OF THIS IS DESPITE THE FACT THAT
NONE OF THESE LEADERS WERE
WELCOMED AT THE WAKE, I HAVE NOW
LEARNED TONIGHT FROM A SOURCE
THAT KATHY HOCHUL, THE GOVERNOR,
ASKED TO SPEAK AT TOMORROW'S
FUNERAL AT SAINT ROSE.
>> SO DID, HOLD ON TO SOMETHING

HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO DIGEST
THAT MOMENTS AGO.
YOUR THOUGHTS FIRST ABOUT THE
REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM LETITIA
JAMES AND GOVERNOR HOCHUL?
>> HOW COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH
AND DISRESPECTFUL.
IT'S ABOUT THEM WHEN YOU MAKE
THAT KIND OF REQUEST.
IT REALLY SHOULD BE ABOUT THE
FAMILY.
THEY CAN HAVE SPEAK WHOEVER THEY
WANT TO HAVE SPEAK.
AND IF YOU AREN'T INVITED TO
PROVIDE REMARKS, THEN YOU DON'T
TRY TO PUSH YOUR WAY INTO IT.
I THINK IT'S TIME FOR SOME OF
THESE ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT YOU
REFERENCED TO BE DOING SOME
SELF-REFLECTION.
WHEN KATHY HOCHUL WENT TO DROP
THE FIRST PUCK AT THE RANGER'S
GAME AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
SHE WAS BOOED OUT OF IT.
THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN IF
SHE WENT TO YANKEE STADIUM AND
CITI FIELD OR ISLANDERS GAME OR
KNICKS GAME AND SUPPORT THESE
POLITICIANS TO ASK THEMSELVES
WHY.
THE REASON WHY THEY ARE GETTING
THIS TYPE OF RESPONSE IS BECAUSE
YOU DON'T KATHY HOCHUL MAYBE
BECAUSE SHE WON'T FIRE ALVIN
BRAGG THE MANHATTAN D.A. WHO
REFUSES TO ENFORCE THE LAW.
THEY JUST ENACTED A NEW
CONGESTION PRICING MAKING IT
MORE EXPENSIVE TO DRIVE IN THE
CITY WHEN NEW YORKERS ARE
STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
KATHY HOCHUL REFUSES TO GIVE
JUDGES DISCRETIONS DANGEROUS
SETTING BAIL.
NEW YORKERS ARE HITTING PEOPLE
ARE IN CHARGE.
ELECTED OFFICIALS AREN'T
ACTUALLY MAKING LIFE IN NEW
YORK.
NOW YOU CONFRONT THAT PROBLEM
WITHS RAW EMOTION OF A FAMILY
WHO JUST LOST THEIR LOVED ONE,
AND THE LAST THING IN THE WORLD
THAT THEY WANT ARE ANY OF THESE
DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS TO TRY TO
GRABBED STAND SELFLESSLY FOR
THEIR OWN GOOD.
>> Brian: THE REASON WHY YOU
ALMOST WON, LEE, MANY REASONS,
SHE WAS LATE TO THE PARTY TO
SUDDENLY ACT TOUGH ON CRIME.
BAIL REFORMS LEFT WING
LEGISLATORS IN ALBANY AND
SIMILAR TO OTHER STATES AROUND
THE COUNTRY.
WHAT ARE YOU IDIOTS, IF THESE
PEOPLE COMMIT A CRIME.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR REHAB.
HERE IS WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP
SAID TO ME YESTERDAY ABOUT WHAT
IT WAS LIKE INSIDE THE
MASSAPEQUA FUNERAL HOME.
>> STEPHANIE IS INCREDIBLE AND
THEY WANTED ME TO BE THERE.
AND I WANTED TO BE THERE.
AND I CAME IN FROM FLORIDA.
WHAT A FAMILY.
THE DILLER FAMILY.
AND THEY LOST A HERO, REALLY.
I MEAN, JUST A HERO.
THEY ARE DEVASTATED.
THE FAMILY IS DEVASTATED.
THE POLICE FORCE IS DEVASTATED.
THE WHOLE COUNTRY FEELS THIS
WAY.
AND IT'S HAPPENING MORE AND MORE
AND IT'S REALLY A LACK OF
RESPECT FOR LAW AND ORDER AND WE
HAVE TO HAVE LAW AND ORDER BACK
IN OUR COUNTRY AND WE ARE GOING
TO.
BECAUSE THIS CAN'T HAPPEN.
THIS WAS A BRUTAL MURDER.
>> Brian: LEE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT
THEY ARE DOING?
I BELIEVE THEY ARE TRYING TO
TAKE LAW AND ORDER AND SHOWING
UP AT THESE FUNERALS AND ACTING
LIKE THEY ARE TOUGH ON CRIME
BECAUSE THEY ARE DESPERATE FOR
NOVEMBER.
THEY KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO GET
BLASTED PROBABLY TO A DEGREE
BECAUSE OF THEIR STANCE.
THEY DID IT ANYWAY AND THEY
WANTED TO SPEAK AT THE FUNERAL
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO ACT LIKE
THEY ARE TOUGH ON CRIME.
AND I -- I DON'T THINK ANYONE IS
BUYING IT.
>> NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
ESPECIALLY NOT IN MASSAPEQUA.
YOU KNOW MASSAPEQUA BETTER THAN
ANYONE.
YOU GET -- EXACTLY, WHEN YOU GET
OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK CITY, THE
BLUEST COUNTIES IN NEW YORK.
WERE IT'S MANHATTAN OR QUEENS OR
BRONX OR BROOKLYN.
THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF OTHER
PARTS OF THIS STATE THAT ARE
RED.
THEY ARE MORE CONSERVATIVE.
THEY ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THE FAR
LEFT POLICIES COMING OUT OF A
PLACE LIKE NEW YORK CITY OR
ALBANY OR WASHINGTON, D.C.
I WAS IN THE ROOM WHEN PRESIDENT
TRUMP WAS THERE YESTERDAY.
AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT THE
PHOTOS THAT ARE COMING OUT.
THEY WILL DON'T TELL THE STORY,
EVEN PRESIDENT TRUMP REFLECTING
JUST NOW, I GOT TO TELL YOU IT'S
100 TIMES MORE POWERFUL THAN
THAT.
THE GRANDMOTHER RUNNING OFF,
ASKING PRESIDENT TRUMP IF SHE
CAN HUG HIM AND THE EMBRACE AND
PRESIDENT TRUMP KISSING THE
1-YEAR-OLD BABY AND JUST BEING
CONSOLED BY THE FAMILY.
HE WAS SO POWERFUL OF A MOMENT.
I GOT TO TELL YOU THIS FAMILY IS
GOING THROUGH A LOT RIGHT NOW.
NOW IS JUST THE TIME TO BE
RESPECTING THEM FIRST AND
FOREMOST.
WHEN THERE COMES A TIME AFTER
THIS, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO
HONOR THE MEMORY OF THIS NYPD
OFFICER, THEN DO SOMETHING TO
FIGHT FOR ALL THE OTHER NYPD
OFFICERS AND THE OTHER LAW
ENFORCEMENT WHO ARE ON THE
STREETS RIGHT NOW.
THE PEOPLE WHO YOU ARE STABBING
THEM IN THE BACK, WITH YOUR
POLICIES, IF YOU WANT TO HONOR
OFFICER DILLER, THEN DO YOUR JOB
ACTUALLY PROTECTING LAW ABIDING
NEW YORKERS INSTEAD OF
CRIMINALS.
>> Brian: YEAH.
THEY WANT TO EMPTY REFRESH MY
RECOLLECTION ISLAND.
RIKERSISLAND.
