This is the All Local morning update for August 18, 2025.
Officials say they're concerned about possible retaliation after a targeted shooting at a Brooklyn hookah bar left three dead and ten wounded early Sunday. Meanwhile, Mayor Eric Adams is down a board member at the MTA as hearings on new fare and toll hikes begin this week. Plus, Mount Sinai Hospital and the Real Dads Network are providing free heart health screenings for Black men to address disproportionately high rates of undiagnosed disease.
Join Dominic Carter for a sharp dissection of the chaos engulfing New York City, triggered by the mass shooting at the Taste of the City hookah lounge in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, leaving three dead and nine wounded in a likely gang-related attack. Dominic fiercely questions how "progressive politics" and the controversial disbanding of the NYPD's Street Crime Unit have fueled rising gun violence, drawing parallels to similar incidents nationwide. He critically assesses Mayor-elect Mandani's impending leadership, highlighting his perceived inaction on crime and controversial policing stances, as well as the societal impact of "cancel culture," Black Lives Matter, and the veneration of George Floyd. The episode features urgent calls from listeners for parental accountability and considers the growing plea for President Trump to intervene with federal law enforcement or the National Guard to restore order, as seen in Washington D.C., offering a no-holds-barred look at the complex challenges facing urban America.

The murder of Patrolman Masterson started out a a commonplace peak-easy stick-up in which a police officer and a girl were wounded, at 2 :55am on the morning of January 31st, 1927, in New York City. Masterson died on the evening of the same and was buried with full departmental honors three days later. But it was anything but commonplace.

At just 22 years old, Katrina Brownlee was shot 10 times by her fiancé and left for dead. She miraculously survived and became a decorated NYPD detective, a mentor and the founder of a nonprofit support group for at-risk women. She also made history as the first Black woman to serve on the protective detail of a New York City mayor. Brownlee's powerful memoir, “And Then Came The Blues,” recounts her harrowing journey from trauma to triumph. She joined NY1's Errol Louis to share how she survived the shooting, rose through the NYPD ranks and broke barriers in law enforcement. The conversation explored her challenging childhood marked by abuse, her motivations for joining the police force, and her work with Young Ladies of Our Future, the group she founded to mentor and guide at-risk youth.
Imagine being accused of murdering two of your friends, convicted based on fabricated evidence, and spending the next 27 and a half years behind bars for a crime you did not commit. That was the reality for Shabaka Shakur, whose wrongful conviction was secured by the now-disgraced NYPD detective Louis Scarcella. In this gripping conversation, Shabaka shares the harrowing details of his arrest, trial, and decades-long fight to prove his innocence. He opens up about the emotional toll of losing family members who died believing he was guilty, the determination it took to study the law from inside prison walls, and the network of wrongfully convicted men who fought together for justice. Shabaka also reflects on the broken criminal justice system of the late '80s and '90s, when closing cases often mattered more than uncovering the truth. His story is one of unimaginable loss, unshakable resilience, and the relentless pursuit of freedom. This is more than a story about wrongful conviction—it's about the human cost of a justice system that gets it wrong.

In the aftermath of the worst mass shooting in NYC in 25 years, we speak with NYC mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo as new details emerge about the attack and the suspect. The former NY governor discusses the state of gun violence, what he thinks needs to be done about assault weapons at the federal level, and how ‘Mayor Cuomo' would handle public safety and the NYPD differently. We dig into the NYC mayoral race, his loss to Zohran Mamdani in the primary, what he learned, and why he's staying in the race as an independent. He weighs in on Mamdani's proposals, why he thinks Mayor Eric Adams should drop out, the rise of “democratic socialism,” President Trump, the migrant crisis, antisemitism and what's at stake for New York City in November. We also revisit his record as governor, including the landmark NY SAFE Act counteracting gun violence, and his economic and infrastructure initiatives as he tells us why he thinks it's inaccurate to say ‘blue states' can't get things done. He also addresses Mo News community questions about his controversies, including about his COVID policies, and the sexual misconduct allegations that led to his resignation from governor.

Sitting in for Jim Schneider, Dalton Windsor continued the tradition of presenting news stories often left uncovered by the mainstream media. Here's a sample of what he presented: --A new poll conducted found that Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, has a significant lead in the current field of five candidates, attaining 50% of the vote regardless of his opponents. --According to one of the advisors from the Democratic Socialists of America, Zohran Mamdani is planning to turn New York City into an alphabet nirvana so that anyone in the U.S. who wants gender affirming care can get it for free. --JihadWatch is reporting that Zohran Mamdani is preparing to enable a new wave of anti-semitic violence. He has proposed that the NYPD should not respond to hate crimes, but instead such cases should be handled by social workers. --Performing abortions in churches? Arguing for dismantling the family unit? Comparing marriage to prostitution? These topics were part of a round-table discussion called, "The Left and the Family" which was part of a socialism conference that took place back in July in Chicago. Dalton provided audio from the event. --President Trump announced that Apple will invest 600 billion dollars in the U.S. over the next four years. --Newly released Census Bureau data shows all income groups in America advanced more during President Trump's first term than they did during the Biden administration. --Cambodia has announced that it is nominating President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after he helped bring the Cambodia/Thailand border conflict to a cease-fire agreement.
Mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo unveiled a comprehensive public safety plan this week, pledging to bolster the NYPD through increased starting salaries, performance bonuses and stronger community policing efforts. He also criticized his opponent, Zohran Mamdani, citing Mamdani's past criticism of the NYPD. Meanwhile, Sen. Elizabeth Warren endorsed Mamdani, calling him the future of the Democratic Party. Speculation also began to swirl about former President Donald Trump's possible involvement in the race, raising the stakes even higher. NY1 political reporters Bobby Cuza and Ayana Harry and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan break down how these developments could reshape the crowded race ahead of the November general election. After that, the “Off Topic” team examines Gov. Kathy Hochul's response to Texas' congressional redistricting by suggesting that New York might consider similar moves, despite constitutional hurdles. They also assess Hochul's broader national strategy and the growing buzz around a potential challenge from Rep. Elise Stefanik in next year's election.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Europe didn't do a anything to take on Hamas after the October 7th attacks, instead they push Israel to surrender. Europe is historically tied to evils like the Holocaust, Nazism, Stalinism, and Marxism, now conquered by radical Islamists through open borders. The Biden administration, Democrats, left-wing forces in media/academia, and isolationists undermined Israel, who could have ended the war sooner without interference. What's happening in Gaza is that people are going without food. Why? Israel isn't starving them. This is a last desperate move by Hamas to save itself by slaughtering its own people. Later, EPIC City, a proposed Muslim-focused community in Texas initiated by the East Plano Islamic Center, is still raising concerns about potential Sharia law governance and "no-go zones." It prompted investigations by Texas officials and the Justice Department, though the federal probe closed as the project remains in planning. These developments should be opposed to preserve American values. There is an incompatibility of Marxism and fundamentalist Islamism with American values. America was founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs fused with Enlightenment ideals like limited power, representative government, and individual sovereignty under God. Those like Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and AOC are hypocrites for living luxuriously while promoting Marxism, Islamism, anti-Semitism, and anti-Americanism. They employ negative language as a tool for thought control, enforcing uniformity and ideological conformity rather than open debate. In breaking news, a gunman armed with a rifle stormed a NYC Midtown skyscraper opening fire and killing at least five people, including one NYPD officer, while injuring several others. The suspect barricaded himself on the 33rd floor, where he was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound amid other victims. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
