    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.

    Curtis Sliwa dives into various topics starting with his daily ritual of consulting the New York Post Horoscope and recalling President Ronald Reagan's reliance on astrological charts prepared by Nancy Reagan. The conversation shifts to current congestion pricing in New York City, highlighting the new tolls and his criticism of officials like Kathy Holcomb and the MTA Chairman, Jan O'Leaver. Curtis discusses the seemingly lackluster debut of congestion pricing where few people showed up, and criticizes the perceived inefficacy and motivations behind this initiative. The narrative turns darker when Curtis tells the tragic story of Debrina Kawam, a former Jersey girl turned homeless, who tragically died in a subway fire. He passionately recounts her downward spiral and calls for her memory to be honored. Curtis also touches on political dynamics, focusing on New York Mayor Eric Adams' changing administration forced by higher powers, and hints at former governor Andrew Cuomo eying a mayoral run. The segment concludes with Curtis' reflections on current political figures like Trump and their influence. Throughout, Curtis paints a vivid picture of the interplay of personal, local, and national issues. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
