>> we in brooklyn do. >> reporter: the 80-year-old actor grew up in the brighten beach section of brooklyn where his parents ran a series of luncheonettes. >> did you get put to work in there ever? >> yes. i made the best egg in brooklyn. >> reporter: that's the trick. >> somebody get the chocolate and the milk has to be frozen. >> reporter: that's the secret? >> yeah, to the creamy top. >> reporter: his first exposure to creativity, he says, came in the marines. >>> it's interesting to me that you describe being in the marines as creative. >> well, you've never been on paris island. you have to get real creative there. [ laughter ] >> reporter: it's where he learned to confront his fears and be honest about his feelings. >>> how did your family feel about you being an actor? [ laughter ] >> i'll make a long story short. when i said to them, i'm going to study acting, my father said, summed it up, he said, actor schmactor. >> reporter: how old were you when you moved to manhattan to pursue acting? >> i was 25. >> reporter: he took small stage parts at first. >> i played a dog. >> reporter:

we left brooklyn in 1946 to go to detroit. my father worked in the automotive industry and couldn't get work in brooklyn as i understood. i didn't understand a lot. i was probably anywhere from eight, nine, 10 years old but i knew my father was a communist and i love my father and thought he was the kindest most caring person in the world and i would come home from the school and watch the mccarthy hearings and it was very scary and i remember hearing people talk about dirty economies and dirty red people. i didn't know if they were going to come get my father, my father was from hungary but lived in russia before coming to the united states. i'm not sure exactly where he got exposed to communism but i know that that was something that was an important part of his life. my mother did not share that with him. they lived very separately. it was a time that made its ti mark and i always remember the concept of fearing the russians and the text message you just received reminded me of how strange i think it could be that we have s

secondly, what i hope is whether it's here or in brooklyn, especially in brooklyn, that the talk about stepping up security should be more than a 15-hour spiel. i saw a photo of an empty bus in front of a congregation, taking up two parking spots, i'm not sure what that bus accomplishes. thirdly, i think it would be very helpful throughout the region but especially in brooklyn. that law enforcement and officials and authorities should release a list of the incidents, side by side with the consequences to those perpetrators, that those things shouldn't be just another story. people need to understand that what they do has consequences. and finally, after the attack, after the scene was cleared from victims, you know what the rabbi did? he went into his congregation next door and continued with the celebration. and that's spirit that i'm, you know, proud to see and proud to point out. the orthodox community, people in the orthodox community will not be deterred by any type of attack, whether it's bigoted, anti-semitic, targeted or otherwise. and i think a consistent response from law enf

i talk about this with someone who works with us who lives in brooklyn. it is little more civilized on the commuter train. brooklyn and queens have really pushed further and further out in many ways. >> that is what they are betting on. hope they will be a mass migration of people moving in. their tax bases are hollowed out in the 70's and 80's. they need to reinvigorate and bring new people and if they want to stay relevant. a fair amount of time in new rochelle on the water. yougov and the cities. they are huge. you can to the streets that are troubled. you can see the results from the decades back in the 70's when things were doing well. they are trying to reinvent themselves. i don't think it will be easy. >> it will not. there are some risks. one is they will have so many new units that there will be a huge amount of inventory that they may not be able to fill. walkingr thing is around the streets and talking to people who live in yonkers and new rochelle, they are afraid that their landlords will look around and say maybe i can do some minor renovat

i would go out to brooklyn with him. he was showing me this whole new world that i knew nothing about. >> i was selling a lot of drugs but also doing a lot of drugs. >> john and i selling heroin created people that were on heroin, desperate people. it's a ripple effect. you played a major part in the destruction of your environment, and lives. >> so, when you go back to the time of the crime, where were you in life? >> there was a lot of violence happening. >> lennon says it was one scary incident after another. >> another drug deal gone bad. i had a bag of money. money was in the air. i pulled out a gun. they jumped out. there was gunshots. >> one night in 2001, the violence even followed him home. lennon says he returned to his apartment and quickly realized he wasn't alone. >> i actually walked into the home invasion, and it was, like, a wild scene. and i kind of like -- like, jumped out of the apartment, and these guys were right on my heel. they were waiting for me, because they knew i would have a nice watch and so

. >> host: laura is in brooklyn. hi, laura. >> caller: i was wondering in your research for the book, if you had come across any influences from michael bloomberg's partner, diana taylor. when mister bloomberg was running for mayor of new york and when he became associated with diana taylor, women were thrilled who knew her. mister bloomberg had a great deal, such a distinguished, fair-minded and marvelous person as we all know she is. that is my question. >> host: before we leave you do you remember where you live in brooklyn when michael bloomberg was mayor and what is your impression? >> guest: we were very much - he was handing up for me. very small radios at the time and they had bloomberg on them and we were collecting them and wondering, we knew he was divorced, we knew he was a millionaire, and then when he started dating diana, he rose in the eyes in estimation of women all across america. >> host: let's hear about his current partner. >> guest: his current partner is diana taylor and she is as the caller sa

in brooklyn, pa rt to be strong and swift. in brooklyn, part of new york city, it is the case and it is the case here and it was the case injersey city. there is no place for improvement one law enforcement says there will be stepped up security, not 15 hours and then finish. it's needs to be on and then finish. it's needs to be on a more ongoing basis. i understand the new york city police department or local police can't have security at every congregation, but there needs to be more than 15 hours after an attack visibility. and especially in brooklyn i think it is important for authorities to release a waste of all attacks that took place in brooklyn or new york city in the last year or two side by side of a list of the consequences for the people who committed those attacks. i think this will show on the prosecuting front whether this is being taken serious. if not, it is a problem, if yes, let it be known to the public that playing around with other people's wives, there are serious consequences to be had. i think city of

how is the girl born and bred in brooklyn? she listened to many tapes of my speeches, my arguments at the court, and she was wonderful. david: you must've gotten a lot of attention for your exercise routine. [laughter] david: when did that start? and you have your own trainer. are you still lifting weights or whatever you are doing? jus. ginsberg: as recently as tuesday. [applause] jus. ginsberg: i have been with the same personal trainer since 1999 when i had my first cancer bout. and my dear husband said after going through surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, i looked like a survivor of auschwitz. he said you must do something to build yourself up. get a personal trainer. that is when i started, in 1999. sometimes i get so absorbed in my work i don't want to let go. but when it comes time to meet my trainer, i drop everything. as tired as i may be in the beginning, i always feel much better when we finish. david: did marty's mother ever give you any advice? jus. ginsberg: she gave me wonderful advice. we were married in her ho

mike: time for night court can we start with a real-life grinch reported by news 12 in brooklyn. santa and the tooth fairy are not real, public-school 321 promises the teacher will not be back, let's bring in legal eagles to ask if this could turn into a lawsuit. great to have you both. the santa aspect of the controversy. >> all parents and children who believe, their parents lie to them is damaging to kids. >> three weeks before christmas these kids are 6 years old.

and then, of course, people have family and relatives in brooklyn. in fact, sunday night to monday night, i was in brooklyn with my family to visit other family members for the holiday season so i don't think one story feels different than another story because, sadly, and too often, people know the victims, they know friends of the victim. for example, in this specific case, one person is severely attacked and i know him and i know his family members. we were neighbors 20 years ago. so these things always hit closer to homeship it isn't just a random story you feel about it and people feel it closer to home every time these things happen. >> we have discussed this morning about this constant trend of violence and attacks this week. but this has been a trend that has been growing over a period of time. we have heard the strong condemnation, the allocation of law enforcement resources, both from the governor and for mayor de blasio. are you satisfied with the state and local response to this anti-semitism? >> i think fair answer would be yes and no. t

many believe the recent attack in more than brooklyn a fossil was a response to this new offensive brooklyn a fossil has seen many attacks in the past 5 years that killed more than 700 people with have a 1000000 forced from their homes the crisis in northern mali has. security problems with fighters kenya to the i so regularly cross the border to launch attacks. or kill a fossil is due to hold its presidential elections in 2020 and president marco boring ones to restore peace before the vote but is still clear if his army is up to the task of a decrease al-jazeera applejack now this is only the latest in a series of recent attacks on military personnel in west africa region where mali and booking a fossil have faced the most number of attacks earlier this month 71 soldiers were killed on a military base in asia as west and in mali at least 53 soldiers were killed on a military post in november it happened just weeks after 2 other raids on military bases which left dozens of soldiers dead also that month at least 37 people were killed in book enough when gunmen ambushed a military convoy tra

it need to be better than what we saw in brooklyn. the only thing it does is take up parking when they put in the bus. >> they put police cars that are empty. >> the final thing is we keep hearing in the news, another jew has been beaten, another one has been stabbed. what are the consequences. we need a report from the brooklyn d.a. give us the consequences. jail, community service. tell us the other side of the story. hopefully more people will see that part of the story. they will say beating up on a jew isn't about beating up and . it has no consequences. most of the people -- the point is that's of the people perpetrating these acts of hate, there are no consequences. you read an arrest but you never read of the consequence. what happened to the person who committed the act? almost nothing. political leaders. i work with the community. but the major -- people want to know, what's the plan. a, b, c, d. bring your commissioners and top people together. there is an emergency situation. the governor should declare an emergency situat

this comes on the heels of numerous attacks against jews in brooklyn and manhattan. we are keeping the victims of last night's attack and their families in our prayers as the jewish community concludes the holiday of hanukkah this week it is more important than ever that jews are able to safely celebrate their faith. they go on to say the trend of increasing anti-semitic violence in recent years cannot continue. this task force will reach out to law enforcement officials, community organizations, and experts in combating hate crime to seek answers for ways to fight the scourge. united withtands the jewish community. that is from the u.s. house bipartisan task force for combating anti-semitism. rita has been weeding in sondland, california. waiting in sondland, california.

pattern. >> it is worth noting, the orthodox community has been under siege in places like monsey or brooklyn or jersey city and the violence that the attacks, it is unrelentless and debately disturbing, not disturbing to those people, i may not wear a black hat and long coat but this is a attack on everyone in the jewish community and we need to realize that anti-semitism is a virus but in a charged political environment where leaders don't call it anti-semitism and some on the extreme right minimize the threat of white nationalist violence, where some on the left demonize jus as zionist, as if that was a bad things or hold jews responsible and anti-semitism explodes and that is what is happening and it has to stop. >> and how to stop it and vaccine and vaccination and what that would be. andrew cuomo called this an act of domestic terrorism and you say call it what it is and maybe that will help more when it comes to legislation, when it comes to actual punishment for these acts. i want to play more about what the governor had to say and we'll talk about it on the other side. >> we have a c

into what is modern-day downtown brooklyn into lower manhattan. saved washington's army is from being encircled by the british. and then it tells coin and then he sealed up the east river, and was planning to march across, and trap washington in manhattan. never once again, with 700, men held off 4000 british and hessian troops. the british took between seven and 800 casualties i saw that he wasn't attacked to escape from manhattan and to fight another day. and then we fast forward to washington -- the section of pennsylvania and around the 22nd of december, glover marches into this area and he camps up the hill near where washington headquarters were, and washington calls him to his headquarters and tells him what he wants to do, cross 800 feet of iraqi i strewn river, or under cover of darkness, and by the, way the barometer is falling and we could be looking at some weather, and lover modest to washington and says, your excellency, it is impossible. washington says to clever, colonel, glover i did not ask you to assess possibilities, i asked yo

. >> reporter: on december 24, a 56-year-old jewish man in brooklyn was approached by a group of men, one of whom punched him in the back of the head. that same day, a 25-year-old man was attacked in the same area. he told police a group of men cursed at him saying "f-ing jew before throwing a liquid on him. those are two of eight bias attacks this week in new york, including a man struck in manhattan and a mother in brooklyn, hit in the head while walking with her three-year-old son. >> it's scary to know that people are being attacked simply because they're jewish. >> reporter: rabbi jonathon leener lives in brooklyn with his wife and two young children. >> as a rabbi for a whole congregation, making sure all of those people are safe is part of my responsibility as well, which is stressful, considering the uptick in the violence. >> reporter: hate crimes are on the rise nationally, particularly against juice. jews assaults on them are up 105%. the worst of which was the tree of life massacre in pittsburgh in 2018 that took the lives of 11 people. earlier this month, there was a dead

into what is the modern day brooklyn into lower manhattan. then again at pelz point when cornwallis was planning, he sailed up the east river and was planning to march and trap washington in manhattan. off 4000 british and hessian troops. they suffered somewhere between 700 and 800 casualties. >> we advance forward to the section of pennsylvania and around the 22nd of november glover marches into this area and camps of the hill near where the washington headquarters were. and washington called him to his headquarters and tells him what he wants to do. river.00 feet of iraqi , glover mutters to washington and says it is impossible. washington says to glover, i did not ask you. i ask you if you could do it. looks back and says colonel washington, my roughriders can do it. us that is when washington made the final decision to go ahead with this which did save the american revolution. it truly change the course of world history for us in one of them took place on this ground weep where we are standing here. >> it is one of the three iconic parts

i was president of the student government in brooklyn college. they were trying to fire professors and took the fifth amendment on the house in american activities committee. the guy who was trying to fire the professors was a terrific, brilliant, charming professor, chairman of the modern language department at brooklyn college named eugene scalia, the father of justice scalia. the nicest man you would ever want to meet but he believed you should not be allowed to teach in college as if accused and being accused was enough. being accused was it and if you defend it as i did. i was very anti-communist. i grew up in a house where we hated hitler and hated stalin. i was very anti-communist but because i defended the right of people accused of being communists at brooklyn college the president of the college refused to recommend me to law school. i was called fellow traveler, pinkoh, much like today. i'm going to fight the sexual mccarthyism of today with the same vigor i thought the political mccarthyism of the 1950s in 1940s and i'm not going to r

and it is not just brooklyn. my friend's father-in-law was assaulted on the upper side of new york because he was wearing a kippah. and the other night a man who said things i cannot repeat on national television, it is not just happening in the hasidic enclaves of brooklyn, it is those advertising judaism in public. so i think that is -- jane put it exactly right, anti-semitism is a culturally inherited disease and in times in which the sort of moral guardrails that keep bigotry down when those moral guardrails are dismantled we see it has no color or political party but the thing that needs to happen from the elected leaders is they need to say that and for the first time to do that is to show solidarity with the jewish communities being attacked. >> we appreciates your voices and strength in this difficult time. jane come back to the panel. we need you for the next segment. >>> coming up next, another attack on worshipers, a sunday service turning deadly after a gunman opens fire in a church. how one man ended

so, motherless brooklyn. rather different. so this is project which edward norton has been trying to get off the ground for ages and ages ages, based on a novel byjonathan lethem. the setting is now moved to 19505. essentially, edward norton plays a private investigator with tourette‘s syndrome who spends the movie attempting to find out what happened to his mentor who was killed at the beginning of the movie. and as the plot unravels, we discover that it's to do with a huge sort of — it's to do with property and it's to do with conspiracy and it's to do with government and a bunch of other things, so it kind of throws but chinatown. but at the centre of it, the interactions between the characters, a stellar cast — alec baldwin, willem dafoe, bruce willis, gugu mbatha—raw, who is so terrific — and the film looks wonderful. i think it's really brilliantly designed by beth mickle. it has a very, very fine and evocative score. as for norton, he does completely commit to the role of the private investigator with tourette

in one instance in brooklyn, a man says a group ran up behind him. someone punched him in the head while someone else yelled an obscenity. it's one of five attacks just this week. cnn's polo sandoval joins me. we're in the middle of hanukkah. the jewish community seems to be on high alert. >> you have families coming together throughout new york and around the country and it's prompting officers to boost their presence in brooklyn neighborhoods. detectives arresting and charging a woman with assault as a hate crime after she allegedly attacked a jewish woman in front of her child yesterday. investigators saying the 42-year-old used her bag to strike the 34-year-old mother who was with child at the time of the assault and says she was also attacked verbally as well. at least four other incidents in new york city are being investigated by nypd's hate crime task force. two incidents on christmas eve. a beverage was thrown at a young man in brooklyn and a racial slur yelled at him. investigators are hoping to track down the individual that they believe i

eric: why do you think it's going on, because many of these are in the orthodox community in brooklyn, your district. >> well, jews are easy targets because they can tell that's a jew when a guy wears a beard, dresses a certain way. easy, easy target. and the mayor has never actually dealt with this reality. the mayor needs to create, to announce that we are in a crisis mode. he needs to bring -- eric: well, he did say that. he did say that, and it goes beyond the mayor of the city of new york. it goes to the mayors and governors and public officials. how as a society, as a culture, as this country do we get a hand on this explosive problem that has suddenly exploded over the past few months especially? >> well, i think by facing some of the realities that exist that i'm talking about. why is so much hate emanating from the left? so much hate emanating from the minority community? why is it someone in my congregation, an elderly man who's standing at a subway station in brooklyn and someone walks over to him, an african-american woman walks over to him and says you f-ing jew twice --
