Queens Councilwoman Joann Ariola defended her oversight hearing into the New York City Department of Transportation, accusing the agency of failing to comply with Local Law 6 of 2025, which requires consultation with local FDNY firehouses before implementing street changes. Citing video evidence and sworn testimony, Ariola argued that ignored guidance on bike lanes, bollards, and street closures has delayed emergency response times, framing the issue as a matter of public safety rather than politics.

There is not a more sacred number in the United States Fire service than 343 and I did not want to treat this as just another episode. With this year marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11, it was important to approach Episode #343 with respect and honor. So with that said - this will be MEGA SCRAP FDNY! I will be joined by three of FDNY's best: Tom Richardson, Joe Jardin and Frank Leeb. Together they bring more than 115 years of combined experience to explore, dissect, dig-into and ask questions about! We will absolutely honor those who were lost. But that's not the sole focus. We'll also talk about the impact, the changes, and the challenges they faced and overcame throughout their careers. It was an incredible Scrap. Enjoy.
Todd Zeile joins the show to reflect on one of the most emotional moments in New York sports history — the Mets' return to Shea Stadium after 9/11. From the silent bus ride over the George Washington Bridge… to the first sporting event back in NYC… to the decision to defy MLB and wear NYPD and FDNY hats… Todd shares powerful behind-the-scenes memories of how baseball became part of the healing process. He also discusses his upcoming documentary project on how baseball changed America following 9/11, and why the events of 2001 remain the most meaningful part of his legacy. This is more than baseball. This is New York. This is never forget. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In this episode, we revisit a conversation between Patti Murphy and FDNY Lt Matt Connor covering the Equitable Building fire on January 9th, 1912. This event tested the courage and skill of the FDNY in some of the most extreme conditions. The 10-story building at 120 Broadway in Lower Manhattan was considered “fireproof.” In reality, it was cast iron, full of combustible materials, and lacked automatic fire protection. A discarded match in the basement sparked a fire that quickly spread through open elevator shafts and stairways. FDNY members battled frigid temperatures, high winds, and ice. Six people lost their lives, including Battalion Chief William J. Walsh, who was killed when part of the building collapsed. Despite the danger, firefighters performed several dramatic rescues. The fire led to significant reforms in firefighting, from zoning resolutions and high-pressure hydrants to operational changes. Most notably, it inspired the creation of Rescue Company 1 in March 1915, which quickly fielded Draeger smoke helmets—providing the first rescue company in the United States with a breathing apparatus. The Equitable Building was rebuilt with a steel frame, completed in 1915, and became the largest office building in the world by floor area for a time. Over the past century, it has housed countless commercial tenants, standing as a testament to American resilience and ingenuity. In just a few weeks, FDNY members will return to the Equitable Building for an exercise testing next-generation Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. Ascending from the lobby to the upper floors in full gear and on air, they'll connect the storied past of the FDNY with the fire service's readiness for the future. This episode originally aired January 13th, 2022.
Can a New York City firefighter really develop psychic abilities? In this episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with Andrew, a third generation NYC firefighter turned psychic medium, to talk about spiritual awakening, mediumship, life after death, UFO encounters, and the courage it takes to live your truth. Andrew joined the FDNY in 2006, following in his family's footsteps. But behind the uniform, something unexpected was happening. After making a childhood agreement with his grandmother to send signs from the afterlife, Andrew began experiencing unexplainable spiritual encounters. Years later, a surprise psychic reading confirmed what he had been feeling all along. He had intuitive and mediumship abilities. This conversation dives into psychic development, communicating with spirits, near death awareness, reincarnation, extraterrestrials, collective consciousness, and what it means to live between two very different worlds. By day, Andrew was responding to emergencies as a firefighter. By night, he was taking psychic development classes, learning how to give intuitive readings, and understanding how to communicate with the afterlife. He shares how he navigated skepticism, fear of judgment, and the pressure of maintaining credibility in a profession built on logic and bravery. We also discuss: • How psychic readings and mediumship sessions actually work • Signs from loved ones who have passed away • The emotional healing that comes from afterlife communication • UFO sightings and extraterrestrial experiences • Reincarnation and evidence from client sessions • The power of intuition and developing your sixth sense • Collective energy and the future of humanity • Why environment and relocation can impact spiritual growth Whether you believe in psychic abilities or approach this from curiosity, this episode explores spirituality, consciousness, grief healing, and personal transformation in a way that will challenge your perspective. Andrew's story is about more than being a psychic medium. It is about owning your gifts, trusting your intuition, and stepping into a calling that does not make sense on paper but feels undeniable in your soul. If you have ever wondered about life after death, spiritual awakening, intuitive development, or the unseen world around us, this conversation is one you will not want to miss. Subscribe for more conversations about personal growth, spirituality, success, mindset, and living fully aligned.

Chief John Esposito has spent 34 years rising through every rank of the FDNY, ultimately becoming Chief of Department for the largest fire service in the United States. In this episode, he shares the lessons that shaped him — from growing up around a volunteer firehouse to leading more than 11,000 firefighters and navigating the complex realities of New York City's fire environment. We explore the growing danger of lithium-ion battery fires, the gritty resilience required to lead in an urban fire service, and the soft skills that separate good chiefs from great ones. Chief Esposito explains why leaders must study the successes and mistakes of those who came before them, because learning through others is how you avoid repeating history. He also talks about the unique weight leaders carry: by the time a problem reaches them, it's the toughest challenge everyone else has tried to solve. Throughout the conversation, he underscores one of his core beliefs — that how you say something can matter more than what you say, especially when the stakes are high and your people are looking to you for clarity, stability, and trust.

Elon Musk warns “people will die” after Zohran Mamdani backs appointing a non-firefighter as FDNY commissioner. The PBD Podcast breaks down the hire, the DEI vs experience debate, and why critics say symbolic leadership puts public safety at risk when real-world emergencies hit.
As the year comes to a close, we're wrapping things up with a special December recap episode of the JoinFDNY Podcast. Hosts Captain Andrew Brown and Captain Randy Li take a moment to reflect on some of the most memorable conversations and powerful moments shared throughout the year. Across the episodes we revisited, one theme stood out above the rest: Mentorship. From probationary EMTs and firefighters finding their footing, to seasoned officers guiding the next generation, mentorship continues to play a pivotal role within the FDNY. It shapes careers, strengthens the Department, and ensures that knowledge, experience, and values are passed forward. Join us as we look back, highlight key takeaways, and celebrate the people and stories that made this year on the podcast so meaningful.
- The show argues that massive government fraud is unfolding in Minnesota, allegedly involving billions in taxpayer funds and politically connected nonprofits. - A 23-year-old YouTuber is highlighted for confronting empty facilities and documenting alleged abuse of childcare, healthcare, and transportation programs. - Mainstream media outlets are criticized for failing to cover what the show calls one of the largest corruption scandals in U.S. history. - The show slams New York City's incoming administration for appointing a new FDNY commissioner who has never been a firefighter, warning the move prioritizes ideology over experience and puts public safety at risk. - Gerry reacts to a dominant Patriots win and a late Bills collapse, arguing the Patriots are surging toward the top seed while positioning their young quarterback as a legitimate MVP contender.

Elon Musk criticized incoming NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani for appointing Lillian Bonsignore as FDNY commissioner, warning "people will die" because she has never been a firefighter. Bonsignore is a 31-year FDNY veteran who led EMS operations during COVID-19 and responded to 9/11. We break down her qualifications, the political context, and whether Musk's criticism holds up.

That’s not a typo – 5 degrees Celsius of potential error. Only 19 pristine Class 1 sites remain capable of measuring actual ambient air temperature accurately. The rest? Located on airport runways, walled gardens, next to main roads, and inside solar farms. Places where concrete, engines, and infrastructure create artificial heat islands that have nothing to do with atmospheric temperature changes. The Met Office database also contains data from over 100 stations that don’t exist. They’re using “estimated” temperatures from unidentified neighboring stations and presenting it as real data. When journalist Ray Sanders started asking questions through Freedom of Information requests, the Met Office dismissed them as “vexatious” and “not in the public interest.” After media inquiries, the Met Office quietly removed estimated data from 3 non-existent stations. Of 17 new sites opened since April 2024, nearly 65% were immediately placed in the worst quality categories. UK Science Minister Lord Patrick Vallance is calling scrutiny of this mess “misinformation” that weakens trust in science. Perhaps what actually weakens trust in science is using temperature readings from imaginary thermometers next to jet engines to justify trillion-pound Net Zero policies that reshape the entire economy. The data might be fine for tomorrow’s weather forecast. Using it to revolutionize Britain’s energy infrastructure? That requires stations that actually exist. https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/2003537920624677163?s=20 https://twitter.com/JeffPasquino/status/2003667251426197766?s=20 dollars” already – language and words are important – but this time the difference will be to the benefit of stablecoin holders. “But if it is pegged to the dollar, why will it matter?” you might wonder. That's a great question. The difference will be that today's bank accounts are in Federal Reserve “dollars”, which are debt-based, inflationary and losing value at a rapid pace. The new digital dollar stablecoins will be backed by gold or other assets (yet to be defined, but it's clearly how they're heading) and the purchasing power will go up. This is the first step out of the debt-based system enslaving most Americans – and by extension of the world reserve currency, most everyone in the Western world. People will eventually see that the asset-backed “digital dollar” is far superior to the Federal Reserve dollar. Once noticed, stablecoin dollars will be hoarded while Fed dollars will flood the market (Gresham's Law). No one will want the dying dollar -or any debt denominated in it – and much like the rise of gold and silver now against the Fed dollar, the digital dollar will also rise in value. Then everyone will transition, by choice, to an asset-backed currency without even knowing why they want those new dollars – they will just know that they hold value better. In other words, the “digital dollar” will actually be a store of value – evidence that it is actual money, not just a currency. Fix the money, fix the world.

For his long association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is facing a long list of repercussions that seem to have no end. Now, the avid hunter has surrendered his firearms license to the Met Police – the same police force who dropped the investigation into his alleged crimes.

Imran Ahmed of the Center for Countering Digital Hate is also on the list. He had a very specific mission. Want to know what his organization’s annual priorities were? Internal documents show “Kill Musk’s Twitter” at the top of the list. Not “reduce hate speech” or “improve online safety.” Kill Twitter. Destroy the platform entirely because Elon wouldn’t play ball with their censorship demands. These groups operated by labeling anything they disagreed with as “misinformation” or “hate speech,” then lobbying governments to force platforms to remove it. Clare Melford’s Global Disinformation Index used U.S. taxpayer money to create scoring systems that effectively blacklisted conservative American news outlets, steering advertisers away from them to financially strangle speech they opposed. Breton personally sent threatening letters to Elon warning of consequences under EU law right before his live interview with Trump during the campaign. Now the banned activists are claiming this is an “authoritarian attack on free speech” and calling it “immoral, unlawful, and un-American.” These are the same people who built entire careers pressuring tech platforms to silence voices they found problematic. Suddenly they care deeply about censorship when it affects them. Free speech isn’t negotiable. It’s not something governments should regulate away because certain viewpoints make them uncomfortable, whether in Europe or America. The U.S. just made clear that exporting censorship regimes to silence American speech won’t be tolerated https://twitter.com/UnderSecPD/status/2003567940462084439?s=20 https://twitter.com/DNIGabbard/status/2003635821719466479?s=20 regulate or silence our free speech is a gross violation of our sovereignty that must be answered with accountability.

No other specific rejections from Russia on the new 20-point plan have been confirmed yet, as Moscow is still formulating its official position. The US has reached consensus with Ukraine on most points but has rejected or disagreed with Ukraine’s proposals on the following, offering alternatives instead: Point 12 (Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant): The US rejects Ukraine’s option for joint US-Ukraine management on a parity basis, proposing trilateral management (involving the US, Ukraine, and likely Russia) with a key role for the American side. Point 14 (Territorial issue): The US has not fully agreed to Ukraine’s “stay where we are” principle, proposing a compromise in the form of a free economic zone, potentially subject to a Ukrainian referendum if no other agreement is reached. These disagreements were highlighted by Zelenskyy himself as areas where no consensus was reached with the US.

The Somalians have nice cars like BMWs and Mercedes @Brookerteejones “Here in Minnesota, a local realtor reached out to me to tell me about another way that Somalians are scamming Minnesotans out of their taxpayer dollars. In her community alone, Somalians have bought up over 455 homes. They buy these homes claiming they’re turning these homes into home health care centers. She says the way we know Somalians have bought these homes is because all of a sudden extremely nice cars start showing up. Mercedes, BMWs, the nicest cars are parked in the driveway. She said, by law, the state will not come out and inspect these homes and make sure these homes even have clients living in these homes. — Somalians have bought that home and they’re using that as a home health care center. She said these homes can even take people in who’ve just been released from jail and the neighborhood does not need to know about this. But she says, many of these homes do not even have clients in them. But the state is writing them checks every month for the clients that the Somalians say are in these homes. These Somalians are making millions of dollars off of these homes every year.” “The Somalians have figured out exactly the perfect plan as to how to scam Minnesota taxpayers out of their money. They are banking on this making millions of dollars and the government here in Minnesota is too lazy to go and check it out and to see if there’s even clients living in these homes.

Recall that Mark Zaid represented Eric Ciaramella, the Trump-Ukraine impeachment ‘whistleblower.' Zaid also represents intelligence officials and other Deep State actors.

Raskin posted a video on X on Monday, pitching ranked-choice voting as a cure-all for American politics. The video was released after he reintroduced H.R. 6589, a bill that would mandate ranked-choice voting in elections for the U.S. House and Senate nationwide. Under the system, voters rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the lowest vote-getter is eliminated and ballots are “redistributed” to remaining candidates until someone crosses the 50 percent threshold. Raskin even praised races where candidates who finished second in the first round ultimately “catapulted ahead” after vote redistribution. In Alaska, where RCV flipped a Republican seat to Democrat Mary Peltola despite 60% of voters backing GOP candidates, the system exhausted ballots and ignored second choices for top vote-getters. In New York, socialist Zohran Mamdani led on election night with 43.5% of first-choice votes, but after several rounds of eliminations and redistributions, he was declared the winner with 56%, while Andrew Cuomo finished with 44%. A study of Maine elections found that, of 98 recent ranked choice elections, 60 percent of the victors did not win by a majority of the total votes cast. RCV opens doors to fraud and manipulation. The multi-round tabulation delays create gaps ripe for accusations of tampering, while exhausted ballots mean winners often lack true majority support. Sites like RCVScam.com expose how it lets initial also-rans steal victories, undermining “one person, one vote.” In 2025 alone, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and South Carolina prohibited ranked-choice voting, joining 11 other states for a total of 17 bans. It is a scam, and Americans should push back hard. Source: thegatewaypundit.com Supreme Court Rejects Trump Bid To Deploy National Guard In Chicago The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected Trump’s emergency request to allow National Guard troops to be deployed in Chicago, dealing a setback to the admin’s attempts to curtail high crime rates in major cities. The 6-3 decision left in force a judge's ruling that has blocked the deployment since Oct. 9. “At this preliminary stage, the government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois,” the majority said. The government hadn't shown the president could legally “federalize the Guard in the exercise of inherent authority to protect federal personnel and property in Illinois.” Justice Samuel Alito dissented from the high court's ruling Tuesday, saying he had “serious doubts” about the majority's reasoning. “The Court fails to explain why the President's inherent constitutional authority to protect federal officers and property is not sufficient to justify the use of National Guard members in the relevant area for precisely that purpose,” Alito wrote, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote a separate dissent, contending that the challengers to the National Guard deployment – the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago – had forfeited the argument about the meaning of “regular forces” by failing to present that issue in the lower courts. Trump contends military force is needed to protect federal immigration agents from what he claims are violent protests.

The Supreme Court just admitted that Trump has the authority to invoke the Insurrection Act to bypass Posse Comitatus and send the troops to Chicago, and any other city he wants. Trump tried to exhaust every legal avenue possible before resulting to the Insurrection Act, but the Dems resisted and refused to cooperate. Sounds to me like Trump just got the green light.

Especially when the MSM are compromised and telling the public that Trump is literally Hitler and is going to unleash a military dictatorship. This had to be done delicately, as not to cause panic. The public must be psychologically prepared. That's why Trump has been giving us soft disclosure about the Insurrection Act for a long time. They have been mentally preparing us for what they knew had to be done, by showing us why it needed to be done. Here he is back in September addressing all his Generals, and reminded them how Washington and Lincoln used the military to keep the peace.

Be sure and join us Live on our Youtube Channel this Thursday December 18th with our special guest, FDNY Veteran, Jack Carney. Jack joined the FDNY in March of 1965 and was assigned to Engine 7 out of Probie school. From there he went to Engine 219 in late 1965, then in 1966 he went to Engine 283. The following year he went to Squad 4 where he was "allegedly" lifted. In 1970 he did some time in Truck 111 and in 1971, was detailed, then transferred to Rescue 2. In 1977 he was assigned to Rescue 4. Assigned BFI in 1978, and retired in 1988. After his retirement he continued to investigate fires and is currently a Peer Counselor with FDNY's counseling unit. We are sure he hasn't seen any fires and probably doesn't have any real good stories to share. We will get the whole skinny on Jack's career. You don't want to miss this one.

This week on the Inside EMS podcast, we're passing the gravy and the hot takes. Cohosts Chris Cebollero and Kelly Grayson serve up a holiday plate full of EMS news — starting with FDNY's potential EMS split. They dig into what fair pay really looks like, why some EMTs are suing for what they're owed, and whether big hospital systems like Yale New Haven are reshaping the ambulance game for better or worse. Whether you're working a turkey-day shift or finally off duty, this episode hits hard and gives thanks where it's due. Quotable takeaways: “If you're gonna be in the EMS business, you've gotta be in the EMS business, right?” “One thing we need to do as leaders is to make sure we don't mess with people's money.” “If you're not giving adequate funding and attention to the EMS side of the house, then that's a recipe for trouble and it can't last.” Enjoying Inside EMS?

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
Tom Margaria, a retired FDNY firefighter, set out on January 1st from Key West to hike the 5700 mile Eastern Continental Trail. On the way, Tom met up with–and joined–the "Over the Hill Gang," the group including Dave Santi, one of my Mighty Blue Class of 25 this year. Tom, a man of deep faith, would ask people he met along the way how he could pray for them. This kind request came with a variety of answers, though Tom always saw the positives. He made it to the end, and reflects upon his mammoth journey with Steve. Also on the show today, is Tayson Whittaker, owner of Outdoor Vitals, an interesting gear company with an impressive business model and an equally impressive boss.
