    I choked up when he did. Tough to be a politician, but you could feel that he cared.

    Great show. Just when I didn’t think this show could get any better you guys knock it out of the park.

    Dude answered all the questions, shit on the previous fire commissioner and was pretty funny.
    Dude had a tough job, a political job at that. He’s a sharp guy

    We were a NJTF assigned to the pile on 9/13. We found commissioner VonEssens cell phone on an I BEAM and called it. Got his team and they came on the spot to get it. They were all stand up guys. Just another point to 9/11.

    A “guy” didn’t say anything was treason - the entire membership decided that the UFA Constitution should be changed to reflect the fact that it may not work in our collective best interest to have a board member become Commissioner.

    Now, in 2024, TVE says that EMS got screwed? Who was one of the people who contributed to that? Or did he roll over and play dead while his buddy Rudy tried to privatize FDNY EMS out of business with units run by a private firm whose owner was a contributor to Rudy's election campaign?
    Hey Tommy, do you remember when you said at a press conference that you wanted to break out the windshield of a crew that got caught sleeping with a baseball bat? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
    You were openly hostile towards EMS when you were FC. What happened to cause the sudden change?

    Just because you don't have fire duty it doesn't mean you don't know what to do at a fire. EMS without a doubt definitely deserves to be paid ALOT more.
