2:10 am
god forbid something should happen. if you lock this in, at least if you get tired, you will have it anyou won't fall. he refused to take the line. his thing was he wanted to go talk to trump. >> amazing job by new york's finest there. rigatta was taken to the hospital for a psychological evaluation. as you heard the officer say, rigatta claimed he wanted to deliver a message to trump who lives in the penthouse. nbc news has not independently confirmed it's rigatta, it appears to be the same person. >> hello, mr. trump. please do excuse my manner of appearance. i don't know how many people will watch this. i'm an independent researcher seeking a private audience with you to discuss an important matter. i guarantee that it is in your interest to honor this request. believe me, my purpose is not significant i would not risk my
