Can you talk about the driving force for you is right teeing drink . Guest it is decades old liger up with an alcoholic mother who was cross addicted to valium like much were in the 50s and the 70s depending on mothers little helper. A stay at home mom and a poster girl for that era. I have always been interested why she dropped and i said i never would but in my fifties i had a bad patch in my own life and i would say a poster girl for this era. Welleducated, highly professional, the other, and not drink two or 34 glasses of wine per night the five or six and i caught myself quickly and went to rehab. Can you talk about that with the addiction . I was full of shame. I was deeply humiliated by my a behavior. But i did blackout. Right before i went to sleep. I said i would get a handle on it. Of favorite cousin was killed by a drunk driver. I will just quit and i couldnt. I knew i was addicted. It was confounding. So i thought it could not be the alcohol. Host just like the year on the wall imi the other after all. Do you think what you experienced was pretty experience common with other women . Guest i know the behavior coming the extreme behavior i was involved in was the far end of the spectrum that i became addicted. The larger group are not it is only 2. 5 percent of those better actually alcoholic. But a lot of women have risky behavior, the binge drinking cdc warned about the fact that this was of epidemic proportions. And that is what we dont focus on the focus on the alcoholic but now for the common person behavior it is only ninth drinks per week that is not a lot but never more than two on one occasion. People would find that is something he could not manage. Host what about four young girls . Are they in the same range . If you look at the age differences . To find the difficulty. The young one has been targeted we saw these sweet in fused prepackaged drinks fed is transitional to get people interested in drinking because you a women dont like the taste of beer because they match your a richer into vodka drinkers on campuses you have young men and young women drinking games but the men were with your but the women playing with vodka or shots. That is risky behavior we no alcohol is the number one date rape drug so we see a very different behavior on the part of this generation does not treat can drive but they predrink before a bar because it is expensive to have alcohol in the dorm and drink a head of the event that means once they get there there already inebriated. Very risky behavior. Host that also puts an added risk for what other types of behavior . Many others. You can see highprofile accidents certainly sexual behavior that isnt wanted absolutely a Broad Spectrum of absence accidents but young women used to slow down after University College they would slow down but theyre not doing that now. Host why do you think that is . Women are getting a complex message in the middle of a sociological revolution in that their children have to be great mothers, they have to be thin, a goodlooking, a managing house well and a sense of entitlement i can do everything a young man does that includes a glass of wine after work to wind down and when you tend to medicate depression and anxiety and loneliness there is a lot of anxiety with how do i manage it all . The professional woman i the think this is let Gloria Steinem had in mind. Host so the expectations that battle of the society puts on women but what how that plays a role . Guest right. I wonder if it is the modern bowmans to ride a drink to stay away, relax, the i used alcohol. I think if you are rewarding yourself but to them yourself is not a great idea host as i was reading through drink one of the things that came to mind for me were there times he found yourself hesitating to put the words on paper about your experience . This was the huge decision from canadas largest newspaper with a 14 part series a and at the time my editors said to me have you feel about telling your own story . I said i am thinking i should tell let. Do you have to work again . I said yes. Then she said you cant the stigma is too great. It this was a huge decision it took about two years. Want to put the pen to paper a cave how to very quickly. But i was worried how would be seen there is us saying we have a public life in their private life in this secret life and it was a relief to tell the secret to. Host as they say secrets keep you set. And i found this cathartic and a terrific relief. Host very good. How do see the path of womens drinking pattern is different from men . A lot of research when a man gets into a struggle he hangs out with his friends may be not great friends with that is a pattern of women women tends to drink alone with complicated feelings that is a female model so when a woman goes to treatment we now know to have a hard look the emotions that were triggered it is hard when you get sober what you were trying to nome are no longer medicated so when you go to treatment for dealing with sobriety will have a whole host of the russians and medicated or it a different way they used to believe when you lead to treatment you had to be sober for two years before you dealt with the underlying causes. Now it is difficult because getting to treatment especially if you have run the john children are babies receive fabulous entities across north america that appreciate what Young Mothers have to deal with when they try to get sober but there are few and far between it depends on who you know, but where you live if you will get the right kind of treatment. Host why do you think that is . Guest it is obvious. Our values as a society around alcohol are very fuzzy. We all think of ibms sophisticated, i know my lions come i am an adult. I should know how to handle but linebacker. Maybe i try to act by the french or the spanish for the italian it is not me that has a problem but that ray your drinking driver. This is something we used to relax as a culture. It is very cheap sometimes it cheaper than bellcore orange juice. We have values we have not really done well on Mental Health understanding depression but not at all to understand addiction. Host another question your books such as support groups with william women and sobriety that there are some differences between support groups better geared more it mainly toward men as opposed to women . Great question. Women for sobriety is developed some time ago i ed maier it the powerlessness is caa term and women were having trouble with some of the language of the big book of a eighth the problem for women of sobriety it is very hard where i lived to find women for sobriety groups. You can start your own but it is difficult i think the face of aa has changed it is more female there is a lot of shame in my generation as a stigma but the Younger Generation is pretty proud of sobriety. Host do you think the overall public sees that concept as young individuals of aa . No. That and in the btps has been kept hidden in ibm of big city and a big fee and Strong Organization at a party of movement in canada for recovery canada at the idea being we tell our stories i tell people idea of five years without wine or a drink. I dont need to break my anonymity to tell you how to keep sober but i am sober and this is what i look like i and its recovery. Host are you familiar with the concept of care . Guest im not. Host it is a philosophy for off preached off by william fife for. Guest yes. Host how to build a community of recovery. I was just wondering aid your book thinking about the difference is for women while working in a Treatment Facility for a imago initially but then fall out of because of the relationship peace that they generally have to deal with it or actually have to deal with and also wondering if you are familiar with the recovery assistance of care concept . Guest that is so funny it just came across my radar this week. I know you have seen the film anonymous people. Fabulous. That was the trigger for me to understand who he was. Host could you maybe talk about what you see are there differences in isolation for women . We know when theyre actively drinking but what about recovery . Are there similarities with isolation as they moved into recovery . Guest with recovery you have to be careful of isolation about self care. That is why i am such a fan for women for sobriety there is a focus on the health care peace with respecting yourself and looking after yourself. I cannot speak for being a man but i know when i evenfall with my friends we focus on this lot making sure we dont get to a greek it is very important and what i found with the new sobriety is everything was that he wasnt through a birthday or christmas sober but everything in terms of human relationship ive lived much more happily now. One of the things that you refer to now it is a cultural thing. I wonder if you could speak what deerweed of that . Guest the phenomenon of women treating is very much a piece of entitlement. We can. We are allowed to. Host i have not heard that put like that before. Certainly feeling degeneration has that feeling but though we and toto is a dangerous thing 15 percent of Breast Cancer patients are related to alcohol. Democratically we are equal but metabolic we we are not. When it comes to an alcohol. I really find it is it the new tobacco . No. But it be heavy like the Tobacco Industry used to . Yes. We have a feminized been drinking culture like girls night out skinny girl vodka vodka, happy wine and this is focus to feminized drinking cultures. But we have eight female jury being culture now and their market savvy that it is a person is a treaty in and of facebook trying to get you as a part of the community and you are the target. That is like the Tobacco Industry. Host i thought when i read that it was to schaede because after i thought about it there is a strong analogy between the two. Along with fact that, being at a tobacco conference it had to do with the Marketing Strategy how they focused on certain groups of people based off what you are saying they see the alcohol industry targeting women. But its do you see them targeting more of days specific racial or ethnic group . Guest you do see a huge will the ability looking at the data coming atta of colleges some groups are drinking at a higher rate than others. Look at the upswing of young women, you see women of different races have more trouble. It is a complex story the number one predictor of whether you will get into trouble is childhood sexual abuse. Number one. It is very much related to trauma therefore before we have more treatment we have seen a wonderful upswing that trauma does relate to of the hall the easiest and most accessible drug and people do medicate with its all the time. Host at 1. In time it was the mindset for providers and they do not even address that. But now that has shifted which i am glad to see but what is the risk of women becoming the traumatized during treatment talking about what they had experienced . Guest that is an important question in to be very savvy as a treatment provider. I for instance went to rehab and was diagnosed with pst p. T. Est and i had to take time with my trauma to know that this was a multi year issue i could not do it overnight. You dont want to reach traumatize a person but speaking of and that young women will have a trauma drink too much then find themselves in a compromising position sexually then be free traumatized that way. They have to keep themselves safe there is a real connection with date rape or abuse or violence to be the victim of partner violence. It puts one at a vulnerable place. There is many reasons to be cognizant. Host you alluded to it before with the voices of recovery in canada about the role of stigma and addressing it and by that is so important and if you think there are gender differences how the role of a stigma is addressed . Guest i feat you can be mailed to be seen as a good old guy with too much to drink a terrific guy. A woman drinks too much she is sloppy, not feminine, we are much harder on women that jury to much. So voices of recovery canada very much following the apparent organization and then a shed is we have known for more than 20 years addiction is a disease complex like diabetes we have known that but we dont see it that way but as a moral failing. Definitely a mother who drinks is down the totem pole when we get into complex issues of pregnant women drinking so that is a pecking order. We to have a more open dialogue with five years clean and sober others have to stand up to be counted. We pay so much attention to a person might turn the shade when he gets into trouble or Whitney Houston but when there cletus sober we dont focus. With the antics have stopped. Lindsay lohan we are fascinated by this behavior in the issue with Mental Health rigi to profoundly understand what is going wrong reid the two paid more attention. Host so society thrives off of chaos. Guest there is dave by curious interest selfdestruct and that is compelling but it is tragic we have to have a lot more compassion. I dont know if we are a Compassionate Society either with depression or to suffer diabetes but were not very sympathetic empathetic with the addiction issue. Host from your perspective what is commons for Public Health . No doubt in my mind pricing is a huge issue look at the data it is cheaper a and cheaper and as they said earlier in a gas station i wouldnt argue why is it even in the gas station but it is cheaper than the milk or the orange juice. There is clear data that says if you add a 10 increase to the cost you would see a 9 drop of hospital admissions or emergencies around alcohol. The cost is over the accessible it over the cheap and were not connecting the dots for instance in canada with certain regions starting to produce report cards because we no alcohol produces tax revenue for the government that while we have those emergency room we can understand it is costly. I think we should take a hard look at marketing. I dont think we should have the marketing allowed that this is in social media that is wrong and i think we should see what is targeted to the teenage drinker those premixed drinks should not be categorized as malt beverages to be sold like beer and sold cheaply. It is just wrong. Host what other things and do you think needs to be included in that Public Health strategy and what that would be . Guest brady to take a hard look at treatment with the reinvestment not just for the rich and famous but i will give you an example. I was in the last six months a lot of the programs aimed at children of addicted parents have gone the way of the dodo bird with health care cuts. So cheap and accessible and taxed in the United States and privatized. We have a problem. So we get to a place where there is pending . This particular disease as well as others. Absolutely. Guest host you touched on this before but if there is anything you want to talk about the similarities with tobacco policies and with similar strategies can be mirrored related to the rescue drinking behavior. Guest one of the things that has come out recently is an appreciation in the past five years of some of the 50 diseases and cancers related to alcohol we havent had a public dialogue about that. We dont appreciate at all that there are some downsides to drinking. We have typically sought the drinking and driving and other than what you dont appreciate the throat cancer, colorectal cancels the are related, we dont appreciate that people die 20 years younger than they do smoking. That is a huge one and women die faster than men from drinking so we are not having a public of conversation the way that we just start one on tobacco years ago. We know the problem with trans fats and tanning beds issue and not with this. It doesnt make sense. Host or want to know. Guest so i think that is the key issue and just like with tobacco come if you keep it simple and keep it to accessibility and price you will be able to turn around many of the problems. So Washington State in privatizing and putting alcohol and kosko costco and experiment in many different petrie dishes of what policy changes in, about and how that changes. There is no doubt the United States is right. You have places like scotland looking at the minimum pricing which is fabulous. Britain should have and decided not to. You look at south africa that is looking at a marketing man, fenty less because they have such a huge problem with people of all syndrome. So people and not as a whole of the subject there are many policies in the country. Some of the best research in the world is enormous. Host is it more so here than in other countries . Guest it is hugely cheap in this country to begin in canada we have monopolies and a fairly firm hand on pricing kaput but here all bets are off and regularly conference but in north america we have sought the best working on the issues and the public appetite for understanding this is small to be as limited there is a great deal of environmental strategies that could be utilized but maybe are not necessarily capitalize on. Okay. What sort of messages can be incorporated across the life span for females that could reach them about the and packed of risky drinking . Guest in canada we have a word of the guidelines come out in 2011 and with that nine drinks per week there was a lot of pushback saying nine a week are you kidding me . What if i have four or five on a saturday night and four or five on friday night . Im already over my limit. So we are in the middle of an educational uptick where we have to just start to have the conversation, start to know what is safe but you see the study of harvard recently the huge problem with how much young women are drinking at the College Campus level versus how much young men, not the threat blight stereotypes. John belushi if he were alive today would be female. Host i noticed when i was reading the line one of the things and i just have a few minutes left one of the things i want to ask about the National Roundtable on the girls, women and alcohol to provide you an opportunity to talk about that and the purpose of that and what is your vision for it . Guest our vision is to open a dialogue about those policy leaders that you and i were talking about what does good marketing awareness look. How come the 16yearold girl facing a lot of social media and educate them that they have been targeted. How can you do that . How can you look at accessibility we are trying to build awareness and policy understanding in canada on the issue of girls and women and on the other standing but girls and women are far more vulnerable to were dhaka abuse than men. So i like to tell a little story thats a short on of a frog pond and a lot of the frogs are faeroe and a lot to use and in the surgeons and fertility experts or say its something in the water . The National Roundtable basically is saying theres something in the water. Our culture has it wrong lets open up the dialogue and get it right. So in the faces and the voices of recovery, and pretty busy. Host wonderful. We have maybe just a few more minutes left and i wondered if there is anything else that you would like to say about this issue, about your book the love the relationship between women and alcohol because that is what it is is a relationship with their we like it or not. Guest would like to say is i dont mean to be a cash outlay. Ive enjoyed my fair share of taha in my life but one of the things that alarmed me what really alarmed me was the fact that the more professional and educated you were, the more likely you are going to get into trouble with alcohol the protective thing would be a bluecollar job. That is a scary tactics its scary because as women become more educated and as women are occupying of the lions share of the seed in the post secondary institutions across north america and elsewhere, whats happened to us that we think that we have to vacate with all . Its more than just a celebration. Something is going really from and the market is there to serve us so that drinking culture is alive and well and i just want to put up my hand and say lets have a hard look at what is going on and know your personal colin devotees. I should have known with alcoholic parents that i was pretty vulnerable. You should know what you are putting down your throat and take a hard look just like with Everything Else are you safe and healthy and is it okay with you . If it is, wonderful. I like the print. I think this brings us to a conclusion but i just wanted to say thank you. I enjoyed having this conversation with you and i continue bring up a very alarming issue that doesnt get the table very much except i know within the profession that ive worked in its always there but to the general public its not. I think being able to have it from one professional to another but also the Community Level would be very critical. Guest thank you three much.

C. , and interview and your phone call with pulitzer prizewinning Investigative Reporter matt apuzzo who discusses his book enemies within inside the nypds secret spying unit and bin ladenss final plot against america. This is about 20 minutes. Host matt apuzzo but is the nypd intelligence . Nte guest its like nothingike else exists in american police. E after 9 11, ray kelly, the9 Police Commissioner of the nypd, decided that he couldnt rely on the federal government to keep. He made it his own Intelligence Division. So its not anybodys mother died. He went and recorded a guide by the by the name of delhi kellen and david coward was the former Deputy Director of operations for the n. Y. P. D. Basically he was the nations top spy and it just come out of a movie. Hed been in retirement. He got recruited out of retirement to start something new out of the n. Y. P. D. Why are we taking somebody from the cia, which is trying to subvert lots and operate with the constitution doesnt apply at putting them in hiding Municipal Police department, which is the only function of upholding the law. This is really radical moment in american policing what they said we are not going to focus on solving crime are making cases. We are just going to be here to gather intelligence, to be a mini cia kind of thing. It was this incredible decision that wed never understood the significance for many years. The what they did if they took a look at all the nine about then hijackers portfolios, their files and networked for commonalities and things that would say howd we noticed us along the way, maybe we could have done something. So they created a team of plainclothes detectives from a south asian arab descent and sent them out into the neighborhoods come into muslim neighborhood, basically eased up and write what they heard and where were egyptian coffee shops where what barack is get their hair cut . Where do people of palestinian descent, where did they watch soccer . What they did was created this giant ethnic map of the city that was the foundation of what has been a 10 year extremely secret program the n. Y. P. D. Has been running. Host has this program been successful overdue not terrorism . Guest our book looks at the most significant terrorist plot that al qaeda unleashed on new york city since 9 11. This is a plot that one of bin ladens top deputies had been set in motion, a plot to bomb the new york city subways in 2009. What we found and what the book shows in the form of a thriller really is the n. Y. P. D. Has a million opportunities. The secret program 7 million opportunities to catch his friends. At every turn when it matters most, these programs fail. Host who was najibullah sale . After he is the Central Intelligence of this book. Zazi was a westernized kid. He supported the invasion of afghanistan after 9 11. But like a lot of kids who kind of fall off ball out of the system, drop out of high school, kind of became disenchanted, became a little bit angry, then turned to the internet and became a radicalized by preachers like anwar alawlaki. What happened was he became convinced that lake the russians before i submit the United States have become occupiers innovators in afghanistan he and two friends decided they were going to go and fight with the taliban. They said were going to go fight with the taliban. So what do they do . They brought plane tickets to pakistan to figure we can get across the border, maybe we can hook up with the taliban. One of the coconspirators we are going to be taliban generals. They make it to the frontier of northern pakistan and they just sort of stumbled their way down and turned around looking for the taliban. Who finds them that al qaeda and their tax through this network of secret little operations in pakistan and our book shows how these guys stumble into the clutches of al qaeda and end up getting trained for a Suicide Mission by one of osama bin ladens top deputies and they are trained. They are activated. They are taught to make an extremely devastating bomb and a return to the United States. They build a bomb on what our book shows as it is a 48 hour race into new york city in 2009 to prevent this bombing. Host was the n. Y. P. D. By the way, we are going to put the numbers on the screen if youd like to participate in a conversation with matt apuzzo, and investigative correspondent the Associated Press and a coauthor of this book, enemies within. 202 5853890. If you live in east and central time zone. 202 5853891 and the mountain pacific aired mr. Apuzzo, was the cia or fbi aware of Najibullah Zazi prior . Guest no, the intelligence of the n. Y. P. D. Had these huge programs designed to catch somebody like zazi. That infiltrated zazis mosque and turned it into a cooperator. They had infiltrated one of his coconspirators student groups. They had built files on all the restaurants in his neighborhood. They had been even to the ymca down the street wire zazi lived. He is well intended to catch somebody like this before they became a terrorist and they failed at every turn. Meanwhile, this machine is generating huge amounts of information on innocent people appear to people talking on a coffee shop about what they thought about president bushs state of the union address. People are barbershop or address in traditional muslim attire that goes in a police file. Where people watch soccer, where people watch cricket you end up with a huge amount of data. What we show if there is a process in place that did work and hopefully relieve americans with a sense, you know, of hope that a lot of what felt on 9 11 did work to catch zazi in the end. We obviously no subways dont blow out. But we were lucky because we got to talk to a lot of the cia, fbi and n. Y. P. D. Guys who were on the ground working aroundtheclock to make this case. Host so there was a lot of coordination between those three agencies . Guest right. So this all began and the only reason i subways dont blow up is that zazi is trying to perfect the second component of his bomb and emailed one of his contacts in pakistan. Basically an al qaeda email address, a yahoo account. As it happened about 18 months earlier, the British Government had taken down a terrorist cell in the u. K. And they had found a yahoo address and they passed it to the nsa, which went and started monitoring the email address. As soon as the email came in from the United States, to that address, the nsa passed it to both n. Y. P. D. And officials in colorado. I have been in rapid succession. I think that is a good take away for coming in now, for cooperation post9 11, the real good cooperation does work frankly, thetraditional pic rankly the Traditional Police work for amed work for the fbi for so many decades that have kind of come under scrutiny and maybe people think dont work to fight terrorism like lady maranda lights are questioning them over a long period of time, watching and waiting. Those kinds of things in the end, does work. And you know, we didnt need secret presents. We didnt need waterboarding. We didnt need guantanamo bay. Collaboration and Smart Policing work to keep america safe. Host how are you able to get access to these records . Guest adam goldman, my coauthor and i reported for the Associated Press. For about 18 months through 2011 to early 2013, we were reporting on the n. Y. P. D. For the Associated Press and through our report on that dozens of people in the n. Y. P. D. Who are willing to share their stories with us and provide us with documents that really spelled out a great deal how this Intelligence Division has grown in size and ronin intrusiveness and almost intimacy in terms of what they are going to collect on american citizens in secret with no review. So we had help from a lot of people in law enforcement. Adam and i covert counterterrorism and National Security for the ap comest a lot of people who helped crack the zazi case for people who we knew professionally because they covered the zazi case in realtime. Host first call for matt apuzzo comes from colchester, vermont. Hi, melissa. Caller hi, how are you . Host good, please go ahead. Caller i was wondering what was your background in college that kutcher into investigative writing . Is so unusual. Host she wants to know your background in college. Guest i what happens if your premed student and get peace inorganic chemistry. I am not a career path if anyone has attempted to follow. I went to a great a wonderful liberal arts school in maine called colby college. I was a biology major. I did not go to medical school. I worked at the local paper in waterville, morning sentinel, chesler basic reporting out there. I went to a small newspaper in massachusetts for a few years and worked my way through the ap. It was onthejob learning. I did not go to school for this. Host is david cohen still involved in as this program grown over the 13 years . Guest shura, david cohen, the former cia Deputy Director is still on the job at the n. Y. P. D. Through the years, dave has actually helped cotton the cia to send him activeduty cia officers to new york to help them build these programs. The architect of what is known as the democrat fixed and come at the unit that eavesdrops in neighborhoods. That architect was an activeduty cia officer named larry sanchez. Again, another unprecedented move. The cia is not supposed to be collecting or directing collection inside the United States. The lines have blurred after 9 11. After we started reporting on this in 2011, then cia director David Petraeus decided it didnt look good to have the cia guy acted duty, sitting inside the Municipal Police department so they pulled them home and say now, if the cia and n. Y. P. D. Want to collaborate, they have to go through official channels. There cant be this sort of murky area. Host elisabeth for ari posts on our twitter feed, what do you think about the case against bruce ivan, which are reported non. First of all, who is bruce ivans . Guest bruce ivan is the scientist who was about to be charged in the 2011 anthrax killing, but took his own life before him. You know, i think the fbi feel they had their man and certainly in a lot of the reason they feel like they had their man is because there is no better explanation. Certainly the evidence against them is circumstantial, but theres a lot of circumstantial evidence against him. You know, i do think the best arguments that they dont have the right man is that for many years they thought they had the right man before and this guy named Steven Hatfield who ended up being completely innocent. Had Steven Hatfield taken his own life, they wouldve been done done here and what a way. Unfortunately, for everybody, dr. Ivan took his own life. He obviously had problems in the case never went to trial. It wasnt one of my takeaways. Wouldve been good for everybody had the case gone to trial we wouldve seen the evidence and get closure. There are going to be people who never believed that ivins was the anthrax killer. Host next call for matt apuzzo, coauthor of enemies within comes from john and an aqua. You are on booktv. Caller yes, good afternoon. To what extent the public records law at the new york state public records laws planned twoyear reporting on the book . Guest no nowhere whatsoever because the n. Y. P. D. Basically ignores open records on a regular basis. The new york public advocate scored the n. Y. P. D. Is terrible for public records. You can get a Police Report as a reporter for the n. Y. P. D. He cant get a mug shot, 911 call. They have a pressroom at the n. Y. P. D. Called the shack and they all have phones on the desk. If the n. Y. P. D. Wants to feature information they all rank. They summarize the report for you. Does they decide that are newsworthy. Is this incredible media machine that they run their, which makes it extremely hard to question what youre getting because you cant get public records. The n. Y. P. D. Created out of thin air something called n. Y. P. D. Secrets. It looks like they classified it. Its a secret on it. But as a force of law of somebody writing no gross allow other treehouse. We are spies. When he do think thats an n. Y. P. D. Secret. It doesnt mean anything, but they wont give you the documents. Theres no law saying they wont do that, but they just stated. Host matt apuzzo, how are they able to get away with not releasing 911 calls . Guest nobody questions that my guests. You know, it takes money, time to fight back. The n. Y. P. D. Is smart. Most journalists in new york city, their job is to cover the day today and and a disincentive by since people to make waves when you rely on the n. Y. P. D. Officially for almost everything you do every day. Host brandon, new york city. Good afternoon. Host you just mention money. I am wondering how is this funded. Host great question. Guest great question. The n. Y. P. D. Is 30 million to 40 million a year. Were talking about 300 billion, 400 million. Most of that comes in the city council, which has never held a hearing into what the Intelligence Division does. We actually had no idea about the files they were building on people. These programs, the surveillance programs some of the money comes from the white house through the assorted stir antidrug grant. That helped pay for the cars in the computer. A lot of the money comes from the department of Homeland Security and the justice department, which again made me we have no ability to know whats going on. No ability to question arafat ever have actually operate and whether they are too intrusive. Host matt apuzzo economy talked about our conversation. Are those still going on . Is there any kind of paranoia among some of the mosques in new york city . Guest they are still going on. One of the most Creative Things the n. Y. P. D. Did was they would send in formats into mosques. If you are investigating someone inside the mosque any synonym for a minute to keep tabs on them come you can only keep in your files with the person you are investigating set. But what the n. Y. P. D. Did with the crew created this investigatory were basically they said if a group of people are plotting terrorism and we can investigate them as a group, basically a way to investigate the terrorist. They actually applied it to at least a dozen mosques. Now anybody who shows up at the mosque and the subject of the investigation. 100,000 people might set a place and st. Peters and collect license plates of everybody who shows up. They have secret recording devices. At the mosque is the enterprise, the terrorists and enterprise, than anybody who there is fair game.
