Main Theme & Purpose

This episode delves into the perceived decline of New York City's public safety, the breakdown of its justice system, and the political dynamics surrounding the ongoing mayoral race. O'Reilly and his guests critique the state and city leadership, discuss demoralization and recruitment crises in the NYPD, and debate what, if anything, could restore order and quality of life to New York.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The State of Policing in New York City

Guests: Bo Dietl, Bill O'Reilly

• “George Floyd Effect” and Policy Reaction

  • Bo Dietl argues that since 2020, police have “lost support” from lawmakers and the public, leading to reforms he believes hamper policing.
    • “Now you have in New York State...an assembly and you have a senate that will not pass any kind of bills in support of the police.” (Bo Dietl, 01:51)
  • NYPD's ability to act is constrained by new laws, especially the “diaphragm law,” which makes restraining suspects riskier for officers, both legally and physically.

• Judicial and District Attorney Criticism

  • O'Reilly and Dietl blame “liberal judges” and DAs for creating an environment where criminals face few consequences and police are vulnerable to civil suits even if acting legally.
    • “The worst thing in the world is the district attorney is supposed to be protecting those cops when they're doing their jobs. And when your district attorney...don't support you, what the hell do police officers have? They have nothing.” (Bo Dietl, 11:49)

• Demoralization & Recruitment Crisis

  • NYPD officers are retiring at historic rates; standards for new hires are being lowered, with more than half the force reportedly having less than five years of experience.
    • “They cannot bring people on the police department, and they're lowering their standards. Bill, this is a craziness.” (Dietl, 05:17)

• Drastic Environment Change Over Decades

  • Dietl reflects on his career, saying today’s officers do not have institutional support or clear boundaries, which undermines proactive policing.
    • “Now you got video cameras...after the cop gets punched, they take the video of the second part...not the original incident.” (Dietl, 07:07)

---

2. Public Disorder and Quality of Life

• Rising Public Fear & Declining Urban Functionality
  • Drug use, violence, and crime are described as openly visible and unpunished.
    • “You can walk on these streets...the heart of New York City. You can walk out there anytime and you have people there. You can't wear watches...Everyone's scared stiff. Forget about getting on a train. You go on a train, you take your life in hand.” (Dietl, 08:41)
  • O'Reilly states the city's quality of life has collapsed, blaming permissive policies and lack of enforcement.
    • “Your permissive far left agenda has led to violent criminals running wild, the demoralization of what was once the best police agency in the world.” (O'Reilly, 14:40)

---

3. Political Crisis: The Mayoral Race & Albany’s Role

Key Figures: Zoran Mamdani (Democratic candidate, labeled by O'Reilly as “communist”), Kathy Hochul (Governor), Andrew Cuomo

• Mayoral Candidates and the Left-Right Divide

  • O’Reilly describes a leftward shift in the Democratic field, likening Donnie (Mamdani) to Fidel Castro and forecasting a tax base collapse and mass exodus if he wins.
    • “Mandani loves Fidel and almost word for word spouts, the gibberish that led to the destruction of Cuba.” (O'Reilly, 13:56)

• Governor Hochul’s Reassurance vs. Reality

  • Clip of Hochul downplaying panic, saying she’s the “therapist-in-chief” and will keep the city stable.
    • “I've spoken to hundreds of business leaders...We're going to be okay no matter what happens.” (Hochul, 14:14)
  • O’Reilly sharply rejects her optimism:
    • “No, we're not. We're not okay now...You can't control anything. You're part of the problem, Governor.” (O'Reilly, 14:40)

• Describing the Electorate

  • O'Reilly characterizes some supporters of the radical left as motivated by “hopelessness” and resentment of the successful.
    • “The people who will vote for Donnie are the people who have given up. They hate the rich. They know they’re not going to be wealthy...they want to blow it up.” (O’Reilly, 16:44)

---

4. Is Reform Possible? Could NYC Recover Again?

Guests: Rafael Mangual, Bill O’Reilly

• History as Precedent for Comeback

  • Mangual argues the city “could absolutely” be revived as it was post-Giuliani, with NYPD at the center.
    • “We know not only from history that we've been able to clean up a mess far bigger than the one we have now...we also have the technology to do it much more efficiently.” (Mangual, 20:35)

• Barriers to Turnaround

  • O’Reilly and Mangual criticize bail reform and “Raise the Age” law (making it impossible to jail 16 and 17-year-olds), and discuss how closure of Rikers Island in 2027 may make crime control even harder.

• Recruitment Dilemma

  • Both agree hiring thousands more police won’t work if legal risk and public hostility remain high.
    • “They can't even get people to sign up...Nobody wants to come into a system where they make an arrest and it doesn't matter.” (O’Reilly, 24:35)
    • “As bad as the recruiting and retention crisis in the NYPD is now, it's about to get significantly worse.” (Mangual, 25:28)

• What Must a New Mayor Do?

  • Mangual: Keep Jessica Tisch as Commissioner, invest in rapid hiring without lowering standards, advocate for Albany reforms.
  • O’Reilly: Skeptical any Democrat candidate will reform enough; asserts the city needs “about six months of martial law,” suggesting crisis will worsen.
    • “This city needs about six months of martial law...and if it doesn't get it, it's going to be next year at this time 100 times worse than now.” (O’Reilly, 27:41)

Tone and Atmosphere

The conversation is intense, combative, and heavily critical of current city and state leadership. O'Reilly drives a sense of urgency and even alarm, while his guests (especially Dietl and Mangual) offer insider experience and technical policy critique, but generally align with his pessimism about the current trajectory. Both the language and tone are blunt, occasionally darkly humorous, and often colored by nostalgia for earlier, more orderly eras.

[B]

Joining us now is retired New York City police Detective Bo Dietle. You know him? He's a movie star now he's in Godfather of Harlem. You play Genovese? Is that who you're playing now? You're some mob guy?

[D]

Me, Gambino.

[B]

Gambino, Genovese, Gambino.

[D]

No, no, no. Tommy Lucchese. You got me wrong. I don't even know who I'm playing anymore.

[B]

You don't even know you're Lucchese. All right, but in your real life, your Bo Didle, who had a very distinguished career in the nypd, as did my grandfather. I'm so outraged about this. I tell you how I can't get any angrier. Can you explain this to me?

[D]

I just. It's just part of the patent bill that has happened. This is the George Floyd effect. On and on with the demonstration since 2020, when these pieces of garbage were able to demonstrate burn assault. Actual submerges involved, the prosecution, everyone turned against the police. Defund the police. Defund the police. Now you have in New York State, because we have to start with the state, you have an assembly and you have a senate that will not pass any kind of bills in support of the police. Then you have a city council here that has taken away every aspect of what the police officers can do. Now they also have this diaphragm law. You, when you're fighting with someone, if you get them into a headlock, that's illegal immediately. When a cop gets someone in a headlock or gets on top of them, they file a suit against them, the charges are dropped, they testify against the cop. Then you got district attorneys like you just pointed out with this case. These are these officers Were beat pretty bad. There were stitches involved and everything. That's why it's assault to a felony. And I. I'm outraged, Bill, listening to what you just said, that this is put off. That's the DA's and the damn judges when they put these liberal judges in there. I mean, a judge is supposed to make a judgment call when you got animals like this. If they're going to assault the police officer the way they did manage, what they'll do to a regular person. You are children on the streets, right?

[B]

These people are career criminals anyway, and they know that, and they put them back on the street. But in order to counter this bo, you would have to have an organized police presence with demonstrations, with signs, with pressure with the media. And you don't have anything. Not one word. They have turned us down on every request to come in and condemn this whole case. They will not do it. Do you know why?

[D]

No, I don't know why. But I'm going to tell you something. I was with Kaz Daughtry, the Deputy Mayor of Public Safety, last night. I had dinner up in Campanola's with him. We had dinner. And this is one of the issues that he told me he wanted me to get back on. And I promise you one thing, I told him I was going to be on your show. And I said, I want answers. Why now? When you go to the unions, you have a pba, you have a dea. I'm still a member of the dea, but I'm going to reach out to the president of the pba. And you are exactly right. There should be demonstrations going on in, in front of that DA's office in the Bronx. This is an outrage. And I'm really, really side with you on this one, Bill. That's where I came from.

[B]

But now it's a moral outrage. It's just wrong. It's indefensible. But there's more than that. It demoralizes every single police officer in the city because they know they could be beaten, they could be next, and nothing is going to happen to them because of the Darcelle Clarks of the world. But their own people aren't defending them. How can you ask people to put their lives on the line every day in a dangerous city like New York when they know nobody's got their back?

[D]

That's why, Bill, more police officers in New York City are retiring than ever before. They can't recruit people to come on to the New York City Police Department. And a lot of people don't know if they're doing their jobs completely legally, they still could be sued civilly. That's like the poor cop that has a little house out in Levittown, paid his mortgage or her mortgage, and next thing is, they get sued civilly and they take his house or her house away. And right now, what's going on? They cannot bring people on the police department, and they're lowering their standards. Bill, this is a craziness. Then we got some fool running for mayor that wants to defund the police department, and he's getting more votes than anybody.

[B]

For our audience who doesn't live in New York City and doesn't really know how intense it is, describe when you were on the job. Okay. And then now, how big a difference?

[D]

Well, we had tremendous support. We had tremendous support from our unions, even the higher echelon of the police department. I was very active. I made over 1500 felonies. I was a decoy cop 500 times. I was mugged, hospitalized 30 times, stabbed, shot, and all that. When I got in a fight with somebody and I had to do necessary force. Let's not call it a beating. Let's call it necessary force. I'm fighting so he don't get my gun. I punched him. I hit him with the. With the hand radio. I did whatever I had to do to get him or her. Not too many hers, but definitely get him restrained. And you know what I said, what I did and why I did it. And I was supported. I was the recipient of 40 civilian complaints. I'm very proud of every one of them. And you know what? I was never founded on one of them because all I did was my job. And. And I told the truth. And that's it. I'm out there and I'm with my partner. I'm fighting with a guy with a knife or a gun. I want to make sure my partner goes home safely, and I go home safely, and I did what I had to do. Reasonable force today. Now you got video cameras. What they do is after the cop gets punched, they take the video of the second part of the cop arresting him, not the original incident that occurred. And with the advent of these cell phones, they. That's a destruction to the police department.

[B]

Also, could you do the job today? Because I know you love being it. You love being a detective. I mean, you like the work and all of that. Could you do it today?

[D]

No. And I think I would actually maybe break my son's arm. If he wanted to become a New York City cop, I would not let him. Nobody. I love Will I let. Come on, the police department, it's a disgrace of what it's like, come and I feel horrible. Now you have more than 55, 60% of the police department have under five years. That means you have inexperienced people out there that don't really want to do any kind of reaction. We used to go out there and we used to find a crime before these guys committed the crime. Find the bad guys. There's no proactivity with the police. Don't get involved. Drive by. I've seen them drive by many a times where they're not getting involved. Oh, crime is down because no one is reporting.

[B]

Forget quality of life. So if you're a drug addict and you're sitting in front of a school with a needle in your neck, cops aren't going to do anything to you.

[D]

No and no. That's it. You can walk on these streets. Right Now, I'm on Fifth Avenue, 42nd street, right by Bryant Park. For people around the country, the heart of New York City. You can walk out there anytime and you have people there. You can't wear watches. You, you can't do this. Everyone's scared stiff. Forget about getting on a train. You know, you go on a train, you take your life in hand. My son, who's 30 years old, my son Bo, he goes, bo, dad, you know what I do? I do no eye contact. He goes, if I do eye contact, I can get in a fight every two minutes with people.

[B]

Last question. When you don't have an effective justice system, which in New York City we do not, and you're right, it's the laws that Andrew Cuomo signed. Hochul comes all the way down. Okay. When you have a system that is collapsed, let's face it, the US economy is under stress, national debt rising, trade war shaking the markets. And meanwhile China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That, that's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold.

[D]

The worst thing in the world is the district attorney is supposed to be protecting those cops when they're doing their jobs. And when your district attorney, the prosecutor, the don't support you, what the hell do police officers have? They have nothing. Then you got these judges, these liberal judges that don't care about the cops or don't care about the public. All they care about is the criminal element. This is what's wrong, Bill. And I tell you what, you talk about no spin zone. This is a spin into the toilet bowl for America across this country.

[B]

Yeah, it's happening across the country. Not just in New York. Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Baltimore, on and on. All right, Bo, you stay safe out there. And it's a good show. Godfather, Harlem. I mean, it's one of the few that I actually watch, right. And it's very Tommy Lucchese.

[D]

Tommy Lucchese.

[B]

You played a gangster when your whole life you're trying to put those guys away.

[D]

Bill, I grew up with John Gotti. I went one way, they wanted another.

[B]

Yeah, but you didn't like John Gotti, so no comment. New York City is kind of in an uproar. Would that be fair? With the mayoral race coming up fast. We got Cuomo, we got Mayor Adams and we have Maam Donnie. Now the radical socialist is in D.C. today trying to say to people, hey, I'm not that bad. It's exactly what Fidel Castro did in 1958. In fact, after he deposed Batista and became the dictator of Cuba, Castro came to New York City, to the United nations, told everybody, hey, I'm not a communist. Don't worry about me, I'm okay. I believe in freedom. Yeah, okay, Fidel. Anyway, Mandami loves Fidel and almost word for word spouts, the gibberish that led to the destruction of Cuba. To this day now, Governor Hochul is real nervous. Number one, most New Yorkers don't like her because she's very weak Governor. And number two, she knows Mamdani, big trouble if he gets elected, that there'll be a tremendous exodus out of the city and the tax base for New York state will collapse. So here's what Hochul said this morning. Go.

[E]

I've spoken to hundreds of business leaders saying, listen, nothing is going to happen to this city without me being aware of it and involved in it. So don't talk about packing up and leaving and all these other overreactions. We're going to be okay no matter what happens. And so I've had to do a lot of. I've become the therapist in chief, it seems, so saying to everybody, we're going to be okay.

[B]

No, we're not. We're not okay now. All right. The corporate. The quality of life in New York City has declined so dramatically in the last 15 years that it's stunning. Don't give me that we're not going to be okay. And you can't control anything. You're part of the problem, Governor. Your permissive far left agenda has led to violent criminals running wild, the demoralization of what was once the best police agency in the world, the New York City cops, the highest taxes in the country, an infrastructure that's collapsing. Fear, pot smoke everywhere in the city. Everywhere you go, children subjected to indignities as drug addicts run wild on the street doing all kinds of depraved things. This is all under your watch. So don't tell me that you're going to control Mandani. You're not. You can't stop anybody from leaving. People are packing up now. You know, the outflow of folks from New York state and city is enormous. Only California and Illinois are worse. And there those states mirror what's going on here. Far left governance. So I got no confidence at all that the New York state legislature can control the communist Mandani if he is elected governor. And that might not happen. I mean, it's dicey. People are starting to get a little nervous, even the radicals. But there is a tremendous force of voters who want to destroy the entire system. And I can understand that. I work my way up from nothing from Levittown to, I think, the highest level in the country as far as income and notoriety is concerned. I did it on my own. Anybody helping me. Barack Obama once said to me in A debate? Oh, you didn't do that on your own bill. Yeah, I did.

[D]

Okay?

[B]

I did. I paid for everything. I didn't have any uncle in the business, Mr. President, so unlike you, I didn't get a lot of money to put myself through school. I paid. And that's not a slap at Obama. I mean, he had a very tough upbringing in Hawaii. So the people who will vote for Donnie are the people who have given up. They hate the rich. They know that they're not going to be wealthy. They don't live in nice places. They have to scramble to survive, and they want to blow it up. It's like being a kid in school. You hate the school, okay? You get bullied every day. You're flunking. You don't have any friends. So you want to burn the school down. Yeah, you may not burn the school down, but you want to. And it's easy to cast a ballot in that direction. That's what this guy is running on. Hopelessness. And of course, he's going to make it worse.

All right, people are going to leave. Tax revenue is going to collapse. Public disorder will rise. Police will flee and get other jobs or retirement. And the folks voting for this guy don't care a wit. All right, now we have a mayoral race coming up, as everybody knows, and this Ma', am, Donnie, who won the Democratic primary, is a communist. And he wants to. Basically he's not going to admit anymore was to defund the police, even though he said that. But he is anti police. He doesn't believe in. And the only thing that's keeping New York City even afloat is the police department. That's it. Okay. And he'll not attack, but he'll marginalize the police department if he wins. Are you with me so far, Rafael? Do you agree with that?

[H]

I'm with you so far, yeah.

[B]

Okay. 100%.

[H]

Go even further.

[B]

Okay.

[H]

Probably go even further.

[B]

Let's say, let's play a conservative here. Okay. You know, let's just do that. Because the city's quality of life is so far out of control now, the man is going to make it worse. And that'll lead to an exit exodus of affluent people out of New York City and State, taking their tax revenue with them. Your mayor, Rafael. Okay, this happened before. This happened before Giuliani came in after a series of weakmares and cleaned it up. Could that happen again?

[H]

Oh, it could absolutely happen again. We know not only from history that we've been able to clean up a mess far bigger than the one that we have now, but we also have the lessons that were learned during that period of how to do it. We also have the technology to do it much more efficiently and quickly now. So, you know, there really is a key component here, and you put your finger on it earlier, which is that the NYPD has to be front and center in this effort. And that is one of the things that I do think scares voters about this Zoran Mamdani character, because not only is he on the record multiple times saying that he wants to defund and abolish the nypd, not to mention jails and prisons and all of those things that help keep us safe, but even as he's moderated or pretended to moderate on those positions, he, you know, he's moderated to a level that is still unsatisfactory. I mean, the most recent thing that I think he said was that he would try to maintain the current force level that the NYPD has. Well, the current force level that the NYPD has is significantly below the ideal.

[B]

10,000.

[H]

The turn of the century.

[B]

It's 10,000 below what it impacts. What. Okay, so say that he. I don't think he's going to win. I think something's going to happen here. And this mass, this shooting is going to hurt him, Mamdani. So it gets people's attention. And are you going to vote for a soft on crime guy? It's going to hurt him. But what has to happen in the city, you say the police have to take the lead. I agree. But the police can Arrest as many people as they want. If the judges are just kicking them back to the street because of the state legislature, signed by Cuomo, another person running for mayor, then there's no solution. You arrest, guy goes in, judge lets him out, he commits more crimes, right?

[H]

That's exactly right. So the bail reform, as well as the two other recent state level reforms to the state's discovery laws, which impose administrative burdens on prosecutors who have to now do significantly more work to bring cases such that they have to triage and choose which cases they're going to prosecute and in which they're going to allow to be dismissed for failure to comply with these regulations. But also, there was a juvenile justice bill that was passed in 2018 called the Raise the age law, which basically makes it impossible to incarcerate 16 and 17 year olds who commit.

[B]

No matter what they do. Right? No matter what they do. All right, so you can't put it. All right, so what is the solution?

[H]

Let me just quickly tell you that the worst part about all of this, because even if we were to fix the NYPD and even if we were to convince the legislature to undo these bad laws, Rikers island, which is New York City's jail complex, is set to close in August of 2027. And there is not going to be a jail system that is going to.

[B]

I don't think that's going to happen. Let's, let's let. I don't think that's going to happen. The feds will take it over.

[H]

I sure hope not.

[B]

Okay. But again, I want solutions here. You say if we can convince Albany to do X and Y. You know what? This state is the highest tax state in the Union, is run by far left people and the Democratic machine. I don't think it's realistic. They may moderate a little bit because Hochul is really underwater in the governor campaign. But in the city itself, you've had such poor leadership for 12 years. I mean, what is a new mayor going to come in? What is he going to do? What, what should he do?

[H]

I think the most important thing that the mayor can do is a keep Jessica Tisch in charge of the nypd.

[B]

Okay. That's a police commissioner. She's done a good job. I agree.

[H]

Invest in hiring at least 7 to 10,000 more police officers and to do it very, very quickly without, and this is the real challenge, without maintaining the lower standards.

But nobody wants. Look, they can't even get people to sign up because the police officers don't want to come into a system where they make an arrest and it doesn't matter. And if you're a police officer in New York City, right, if you make one mistake, you're. You're going to be sued civilly or charged criminally. Who wants to go into a system like that? You're never going to get 10,000 people to come in, ever.

Mint is still $15 a month for premium wireless. And if you haven't made the switch yet, here are 15 reasons why you should. One, it's $15 a month. Two, seriously, it's $15 a month. Three, no big contracts. Four, I use it. Five, my mom uses it.

[A]

Are you, are you playing me off?

[I]

That's what's happening, right? Okay, give it a try.

@Mintmobile.Com Switch upfront payment of $45 for three month plan.

[J]

$15 per month equivalent required. New customer offer first three months only, then full price plan, options available, taxes and fees extra.

[H]

C.com that's exactly right. I mean, and this is the real challenge because what people don't really understand is that as bad as the recruiting and retention crisis in the NYPD is now, it's about to get significantly worse over the next couple of years because we have several thousand officers who are going to become eligible for retirement and.

[B]

They'Re going to take it years.

[H]

Because I do think that that's the case.

[B]

Right.

[H]

So there are things though that I do think that the next mayor can do to innovate and make the job more attractive to high quality candidates.

[B]

One of those things, I'm not sure. Not with that legislature. All right, final question. Your opinion is that it has to come from law enforcement. The changes in the city and the quality of life changes have to come from the police themselves. I don't think that's possible. When you have marijuana smoke on every city, when on every block in the city, when you have Alvin Bragg And Darcelle Clark, DA's of Manhattan and the Bronx and these people do not want to prosecute most crimes. You know that. I know that. The stats show that, okay, the cops can't do it by themselves. And if you have a weak mayor and none of the candidates we asked to have the Republican running Curtis Lewis on as a guest tonight to show put out his platform. He wouldn't come on. You don't want to come up against me. He doesn't want to answer those specific questions. So I assume a Democrat will win and that Democrat will just do what the other Democrats maybe not quite as bad. Cuomo is not going to be as bad as de Blasio. But is he a reformer? Cuomo? No last word?

[H]

Yeah, I certainly don't think Cuomo is a reformer. In fact, his name is on many of the pieces of legislation that are causing a lot of the problems that we are still dealing with. But, but I do think it's going to take a mayor that has recognized that the problems lie in Albany, that those laws need to change, and who is committed to investing in the NYPD and putting pressure, using the bully pulpit on people like Alvin Bragg and Darcelle Clark to do more and to do more quickly.

[B]

I don't know. This city needs about six months of martial law and Bassourt in east that and if it doesn't get it, it's going to be next year at this time 100 times worse than now. And that's that's going to be there's going to be disorder in the streets.

Politicians want to enact harmful credit card mandates that could take away your cash back and rewards points, perks that stretch your budget and make life a little easier. Losing these benefits means less money for your family's everyday essentials like gas and groceries. The perks you rely on could disappear, leaving you with higher costs and fewer options. Tell Congress to guard your card and oppose the Durbin Marshall credit card mandates.
