“People always say that New Yorkers are selfish and rude and will not point a finger at others,” he continued, “and this is true… on a normal day. “On a normal day, New Yorkers do not try to help anyone.” But after seven years in New York, Noah had learned that “when crap hits the fan, New Yorkers gather. “Always.” Cell phone footage from Tuesday’s attack, in which suspect Frank R James dropped a smoke bomb and indiscriminately fired a 9mm Glock, shows passengers being taken outside the station, first aid and searching. the perpetrator. Authorities took 30 hours to arrest James, 62, in part because security cameras at 36th Street Station in the Sunset Park neighborhood failed to capture anything during the attack. The MTA has 10,000 cameras scattered across 472 subway stations and claims that only those three were not working that day. Noah did not buy it. “Really? Out of the 10,000 cameras in the subway system, the only three that were not working are the ones that could help. Really? Well, that’s a crazy bad luck, if it were true.” James was arrested in Manhattan after information from 21-year-old Jacques Tahan, who, ironically, placed security cameras in a nearby apartment. “So if the city had hired Zach to fix the damaged subway cameras, then maybe Zach would not have needed to get them out of this mess from the start!” Noah thought. Noah thanked Jacques, as well as “all the New Yorkers who got on the subway yesterday, because this event turned out much better than it could have. And you know what this guy in New York did, he didn’t succeed. New York is a difficult place. After 9/11, New York returned. “After Hurricane Sandy, New York came back.” After the catastrophic first wave of Covid, too. “The point is: this city keeps coming back and that’s what makes it the biggest city in the world.”

Stephen Colbert

At the Late Show, Stephen Colbert also celebrated James’s arrest after a tense 30-hour manhunt in the city. Authorities suspected James, he explained, because a credit card with his name was found at the scene, as well as a key in a van he had rented. “He also left a swab on his cheeks, a completed tax return and SoulCycle emergency contact,” Colbert said. “He is happy that James left a lot of information behind,” Colbert continued, due to the malfunction of the security camera. “Well, that’s what the MTA gets for hiring the same guy who did the cameras in Jeffrey Epstein’s cell,” Colbert joked. He explains the new posters for subway safety: “If you see something, it’s wonderful. We did not do it! “ The host also referred to a “difficult week” for Joe Biden, from the highest inflation rates since 1981 to a speech in Iowa in which a bird appeared to be making cocoa on its lapel. “Look, guys, this is the kind of story the late night was made for,” Colbert said. “Steve Allen started the Tonight Show in the 1950s to talk about a pelican that bombed Ike with guano. Therefore, it is the duty of the Late Show to cover this recent incident. “ “This bird is now the Republican favorite in 2024,” Colbert said, splashing over Biden’s lapel. “He has already chosen his # 2.” However, a reporter on the scene and the White House communications team clarified that the alleged bird droppings were in fact corn dust dripping from the roof of an active factory. “Okay, the data check was reluctantly accepted,” Colbert said. “They were not bad birds. “It was just a light rain of industrial corn.”

Jimmy Kimmel

And in Los Angeles, Jimmy Kimmel commented on the Justice Department investigation into whether Rudy Giuliani broke any law when he flew to Ukraine to pressure Zelenskiy to dig up alleged dirt on Hunter Biden. “Remember that? When Trump sent Guney not to so discreetly threaten to stop military aid that we now know how desperately they needed it to find devastating information about his opponent’s son?” The FBI is already “raiding Rudy Cave” and so far Trump’s former lawyer has worked with him. “He even let the researchers look inside the coffin where he sleeps during the day,” Kimmel said. Kimmel also mocked another common target, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who did a live video of the podcast in which an audience member asked, “Assuming it would end world hunger, would you condemn someone else?” “Only if this man was Donald Trump is the answer,” Kimmel said.
