Curtis Sliwa's Rip & Read | 01-08-25

Curtis Sliwa shares how Scott LoBaido, a relentless patriot, staged a dramatic protest against NYC's congestion pricing at 61st and Broadway. Scott, coached by Curtis, used creative civil disobedience to express his anger over the $9 fee imposed on drivers entering Lower Manhattan. He was arrested after displaying middle finger symbols at congestion pricing cameras. Sliwa criticizes NYC officials, including MTA Chairman Janno Lieber and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, for misleading crime stats and poor governance. The script also touches on political tensions involving Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo, and mentions other controversial topics such as police overtime and public safety.
