Joining me, robert strang, ceo investigative management group. Thanks for being here. Were all touched by this. This is a major issue thats affecting the world. How do you view this . What do you see . This isnt something thats going away tomorrow. This is something well have to learn unfortunately to live with for some time to come. Because isis is growing stronger. If you look in syria and iraq and the territory theyve taken over, the control they have, if you look at their money, my god, theyve got over a billion in the bank. Theyre making 500 million a year just from trading oil, not to mention some of the other things going on. Ernie the antiquities being sold. Theyre wiping out cultures.

When they do the beheadings, its done professionally. They know the right timing, how to get it on the national networks, how to get it on the street, how to get it in social media media. Ernie tell me how we counter this. There are different programs in place. You describe this as a threelegged stool. Its working. How is that system working to benefit us . Right. Its reducing the risk of something happening. To me thats working. Thats all we can do is reduce the risk. The one thing is in terms of the threelegged stool is the first thing is the enforcement operation. Were dropping we have the drones dropping bombs. Were hitting the targets directly directly. Were making arrests. Were developing informants and gathering intelligence. We have the cops on the street. We have the tsa. Its the last perimeter. So if you take all of our intelligence information, you mix that in, all of our enforcement operations in terms of the arrests, the seizures, hard drive, computers, bones, you take all that and combine it with our Street Operations and our perimeter security. Thats what makes it work. Its the three things together. York city. Were lucky we have a thousand police officers, we have the fbi Task Force Working with the nsa, using that intelligence. We make the arrests. Were lucky we got active. Not every city has it. Ernie thank you so much for joining us. Lets tell you about the other stories making news right now.

Just saying the name studio 54 brings up images of a glitzy disco club full of celebrities. But the sight was more than the epitome of life in the 70s fast lane. Christal young shows us its many incarnations as we look at the building now and then. Reporter in the late 70s, studio 54 was everything. It was the place to see and be seen in new york city. Michael jackson, andy warhol, jerry hall and mick jagger. Couldnt enter. The concept of being chosen to enter the velvet rope started here. It is only part of the story. The history of the building goes back to the early 1900s. This theatre opened as the gallo opera house. It was a Broadway Theatre with a weird history. There were shows that had a donkey on stage. Lots of crazy stuff happening. It was the casino de paris, which was a nightclub in the 30s. It was for many years a cbs studio where they filmed whats my line and password and tons of shows. It became the famed disco studio 54. It was owned by steve rubel and shrager. It was like striking oil. I was always looking for the right opportunity, something i could make special. Putting everything together, something magical happens. Thats always been my approach. Reporter studio 54 lasted more than a decade, but its heyday was from 1977 to 1981. Now the building houses two popular venues. Cabaret opened in the 90s and it became a broadway house, which it is. 54 below is a supper club. We have hundreds of shows. Broadway stars, television personalities, all kinds of people singing eclectic music. 254 west 54th is a building rich in history with more stories than a new york city skyscraper. Liza minnelli, halston. New york is filled with that history. You get to be in it if you come to studio 54 or 54 below. Ernie a lot of media people would go there in the 80s. Reporter and party . Ernie have a good time. A lot of people from the studio would go to party a little bit. It was a lot more than disco. It was. The disco made it popular. But in 1927, it started out as an opera house. When it was a cbs studio, a lot of tv shows ernie whats my line. You got it. Was there. Then it closed and it came back. Its got so much going on. Now that one building 254 west 54th is split between original theatre where you can watch shows and 54 below and they have dance parties bringing out the 70s.

He was banned by the commissioner at the time. Today theres been appeals and today the current commissioner upheld the appeal. He said theres no reason to reinstate him. I dont see anything that would lead me to overturn the truth of the matter. So he stays out. Ernie let me ask you, how does this impact the Current Situation with pete rose . Its an easy comparison. But i think its apples and oranges. Pete rose, what he did wrong was he bet on baseball. He should not have done that.

Had i ever heard that, i would say he has to stay out forever. Ernie separate. Russ talking about shoeless joe series. Thats a different story.
