I forgot where I read it, but are New York Controllers known for being the sassiest with the pilots and will punish them if they don't react correctly?

I remember that as well but I forgot so I looked it up and it's from a segment in Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell on Crew Resource Management. I don't have the book on me but what I remember, Avianca Flight 52 was on a holding pattern and the co-pilot was in charge of communications. Gladwell mentions that New York ATCs have a rather inflexible reputation as Liar of the Shire mentioned. He thinks it slightly bullied the co-pilot and bad communication with his superior pilot led to him not reporting to ATC that they were on a dangerous amount of fuel.

I got stuck listening to ATC recordings due to this thread. This video has me stumped

What is he asking the pilots in the beginning? I'm pretty sure it's non-sensical but I'm not getting it.

Do controllers talk poo poo about Reagan? I live in DC and I'm always amazed that the man who hosed over air traffic controllers has an airport named after him.

I had to look this up and holy poo poo, he fired 90% of the ATCs because they striked? And he dared to do that under the guise of national security?
