A former NYPD detective appearing on Fox News claims that Occupy Wall Street encampments have become hubs for drug dealing and prostitution. He argues that because the parks are managed by private entities like Brookfield Properties, protesters are technically trespassing after certain hours. The hosts express skepticism toward these claims of widespread low-level criminality while noting the lack of similar movements in pro-gun states.

Zuccotti Park, the site of the Occupy Wall Street protests, is revealed to be a private park owned by Brookfield Office Properties. The hosts point out that Mayor Michael Bloomberg's girlfriend is on the board of the company, suggesting a conflict of interest in how the protests are managed. They argue that labor unions are now controlling the media narrative of the movement.
