  Speaker 1: Mister New York Mark Simone. He's on seven tenon Hey.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: A lot going on now, there's a it's a pretty
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: bad situation there. Forty second Street between second and third.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Stay away from that area. Forty second three between second
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and third. There's remember the Peiser building, Pfiser headquarters was
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: on that block, and it's a big skyscraper. Well, Pfizer's
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I guess, moved out and they've been doing massive construction
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: in that building and the building became unstable and started
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: to buckle. I mean the support beams were actually buckling
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: as the construction was going on, and floors started to
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: cave in in this building and bricks flying off the building. Now,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: luckily all the construction workers managed to get out of
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the building safely, but the whole block is closed. The
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: area around there is massive chaos. It's fire trucks and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: emergency vehicles. Forty second between second and third, So you
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: don't want to go anywhere near there. And that's a
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: busy area with the un and everything. I used to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: work on that block forty second between second and third
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: when I first came to New York, I was on
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: WPIX FM. You remember that station, Well, it was in
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the Daily News building because it was owned by the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Daily News, then the largest newspaper in America. And that
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: was forty second between second and third, right across from
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the Speiser building. And then next door is the hotel.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: It was the Helmsley Hotel. It's called something else. Now
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: what else on that block? That's the two biggest landmarks
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: on that block. And then actually forty second and third, Yeah,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I worked on that corner too. That's where WNW was.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Forty second and third, that's the building where the Autumn
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: at was, So I know that block. Well, it'll be
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a close. This is a bad, bad situation. It's a
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: big skyscraper, support beams, buckling, floor's caving in just to stabilize.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: This could take a long long time. This block could
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: be closed for quite a while, and you got to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: worry about the building collapse. You got to worry about
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: all kinds of things. So I don't see this block
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: getting open for a long time. Hey, Iran, as we
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: mentioned last hour, been cheating like crazy. All of a sudden,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: work taking place at some of their nuclear sites by them,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So who knows what they're up to. Now you've got
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to remember the president has had this peace agreement, and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: this has been going on for a couple of months.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: He's waited a long time, so we may have to
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: go in and finish the job. But the good part
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: of all this is because of the two to three
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: months of peace agreements giving them a chance. Months a
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: couple of months have given them a chance. That kind
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of gives them the okay to now go in on
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a much higher level than last time. I mean, you know,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: last time we were taken out military stuff, we were
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: taken out nuclear stuff. But you can't go in and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: just wipe out a whole country. You can't just go
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: wipe out everything. But you kind of can do it now.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Because he was at least optics wise, it looked like
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: he was being pretty fair. Gave them plenty of time,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: gave them a presagreement, gave them plenty of chances, months
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and months and months of chances. So it gives them
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: license now to go in if we have to really
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: wipe out stuff, to do it now, so that could
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I know they're planning all of that right now. President
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Trump is in Turkey today for the NATO summit, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I imagine in the most secret private meetings, that's what
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: they're discussing finishing off Iran. Turkey is of course not
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a friend of ours. President Trump meeting with air Towan
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and Turkey. Aired One wants to buy aircraft, all his
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: fighter jets, that kind of stuff. Israel publicly saying don't
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: sell them anything because there the worst people in the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: world there, and who knows who they'll help or support.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens at the end. He's there today,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: then tomorrow, then comes back Platner. Well, he's out. He
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: said he's suspending, he's reflecting. What did he say? What
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: do you say reflecting that he's reflecting, which he also said,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: let me see he says suspending here, so regardless of
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the inaccuracy of the reporting, but mindful of political reality,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: it will inflect. We are taking the time to reflect
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: on the best path forward. Yeah, reflecting. I guess he
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: didn't want to use the word suspending. But whenever you
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: reflect or suspend, nobody's ever. I can't think of any
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: campaign that ever came back after suspending. Now you can
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: always count on Fetterman to be the one still saying
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: still rational democrat, never back to platinir And now Fetterman
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: is demanding that Bernie Sanders apologize for backing this predator.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: He should include Elizabeth Warren in that. Actually, Warren. I mean,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: listen to Warren. Everybody's playing this clip over and over again.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: This is Warren. A few weeks ago.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I said to myself, that's my kind of man, because
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: that is a man who not only has the values,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: but a man who believes in accountability.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a history of rape, lying, he's got a huge
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Nazi death camp tattoo all over his chest. That's what
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: did she say.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I said to myself, that's my kind of man.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so a fetterman. As this morning demanded an apology
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: from Bernie Sanders. I really call on Bernie Sanders to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: apologize for pushing this kind of predator more than anyone.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And we'll see. I don't think Bernie Sanders going to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: say anything. Elizabeth Warren wouldn't say anything. Her office put
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: out a statement she didn't want to actually sayings. Sanders
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: has remained silent. Fox News says they tried to contact
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: his office for some kind of statement. Silent, He would
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: not give a statement about this. Yesterday was the beginning
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of the court hearings for the assassin that killed Charlie Kirk.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: It's tough to watch, very tough to watch the assassin.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: It's a nice looking guy, and he's sort of if
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: he didn't know, he's like a normal looking guy like that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Luigi Mangione looks a little nuts. This guy, although it's
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: just a shot from the side, he didn't look that nuts,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: but obviously he is. Erica Kirk, the widow, was there
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: with Charlie's parents and other family members that had to
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: sit there in the courtroom and look at this assassin.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Officer Charles Begley, he's the witness heard the rifle shot,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: watched Charlie Kirk get shot. He was testifying yesterday. The
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: accused assassen, Tyler Robinson, who does face the death penalty
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: they have it in that state, was actually seen smiling
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: while talking to his attorney. At various points. Robinson appeared
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: in a gray suit, shackled at the wrists. Seems stoic
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: as prosecutors displayed photos of the campus and rooftop from
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: which he allegedly shot the Turning Point USA founder, So
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: it was rough. Donald Trump Junior was there in the courtroom,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: very close to Charlie Kirk. He flew in for that
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and it was very, very tough. Now they played video.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've ever seen the actual video
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: of when Charlie Kirk is hit by the bullet. I
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: do not recommend you watch it. You'll never forget it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: It's so hideous and graphic and it's awful. They had
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to show it in the courtroom and they say even
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the judge winced. Even the judge been through a million
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: of these cases, winced. You can see his head go back.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: It was tough for even the judge to see it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: So well. I think we're done with the fireworks Fourth
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: of July. Those fireworks it's getting out of control. I mean,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: it's great to see Macy's fireworks. The ones in DC
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: were the biggest and best ever in America. The small towns,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the suburbs, they all do you know, three or four fireworks.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: But the worst thing is these amateur fireworks. A lot
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: of just regular amateur civilians getting a hold of fireworks
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and just firing them off on Fourth of July, causing
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: all kinds of problems. It's caused fires, it's caused injuries.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: And look at this Brooklyn high rise, it was hit
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: with fireworks. Tenants the Brooklyn high Rise has balconies, so
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of people going out to watch the Macy's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: fireworks and then getting hit. One woman says, I got
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: hit in the chest with the fireworks, and the fireworks
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: are hitting this building, damaging windows. This is just from
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: idiots in the neighborhood sending them off onlookers getting showered
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: with sparks, rooftop party goers fleeing. Actually, although the good
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: news is nine to one to one, they get complaints
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: from people illegally setting off fireworks. They said they got
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: less less calls this year, twenty two hundred. Last year
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: it was thirty one hundred. So I guess it's improving
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a little. Hey that crazy mom, Donnie, our crazy amateur mayor,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Now this is not good. He in the new budget.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: He's got this crazy new budget that's absolutely insane. Remember,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: so total amateur doesn't know anything about management or running
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: a city and certainly knows nothing about budgets. Allowed this
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: budget to go through. That is absolutely ludicrous. It's one
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six billion for New York City. It
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: probably should be like one third of that. This is
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: like double the budget of Florida, and Florida has more
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: people than New York A lot more people in New
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: York City, so it's in now. The Department of Education
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: is a total disaster. The New York City Department of
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Education is absolute disaster. Kids are not being taught anything.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: The scores that get coming out of the New York
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: City schools are disastrous. Half of them can't read. I mean,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: it's just a disaster in these schools, and the budget
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: on them is way way too high. They should cut
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: the budget dramatically, which would mean getting rid of layers
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and layers and layers of bureaucracy. That's the problem with
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: our Board of Education. Every time you throw a dollar in,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: maybe four cents gets to the classroom. The rest of
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: it eaten up by layers and layers and layers and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: layers of bureaucracy that serve no purpose. So as bad
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: as this is, as much as you need to cut
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that out, all that waste and fat in the Department
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: of Education. In the new budget, it turns out, mom,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Donnie quietly added eight hundred million to this eight hundred million,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: that's what he added to the school's budget. Our Department
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: of Education currently is getting the hold on to something.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Our Department of education is currently getting thirty eight billion.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Thirty eight billion, that's that's preposterous. It should be five billion,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe at the most. And again this is more.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Thirty eight billion is more than the budget of most cities.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: And our Department of Education is a total disaster. Nobody's
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: learning anything. So this is a Mamdani continuing this, actually
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: expanding this disaster. The other thing is in the budget.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: You know, we're supposed to put in more policemen because
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: we're losing cops by the thousands. They're retiring. So Mam
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Donnie did not put in any money for the police
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: out of this new budget. Nothing, nothing, So you're not
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: replacing anybody. And it's basically he's defunding the police. He's
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: found a way to do it, a way to shrink
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the police force because as they retire by the thousands,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: he could bring down the amount of officers down by
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: five thousand in the next couple of years, which is
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: absolutely disastrous. We're already way below the number we should have,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: way below the number we usually have. You know, this
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: department was up to forty thousand, I think forty two
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: thousand at one point. It's down around thirty thousand. There's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: not enough cops, and he's causing this defunding by just
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: not replacing the cops that are retiring, and obviously they're
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: retiring at a much bigger pace. Now, Hey, good news,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman. In the real pulse. Forget these public poles.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Those are just cheap, flimsy, stupid public pols. The real polls,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: the behind the scenes, super expensive, scientific, deadly accurate polls
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: have Blakeman almost He's catching up. He was said twenty
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: points behind a couple of weeks ago, he was eight
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: points behind. Looks like he's about six points behind right
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: now in the real poles. That's important. Blakeman wants to
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: debate Kathy Hochel. She is ducking him. She will not
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: debate him because if it's a debate and everybody's watching,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: he's going to just rattle off some stuff in front
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: of her. You know, our electric bills went crazy. Then
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: it used to be one hundred a month. That's four
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: hundred a month. The electric bills are going crazy. First
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Cuomo shuts down Indian Point, and then after Hokeel got in,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: she started putting all kinds of fees and taxes on
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: your electric bill to pay for these stupid green scheme things.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: So she has increased your electric bill deliberately with all
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: these taxes she's putting on electricity, and he's going to
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: bring that up. Also, she refuses to take the net.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: We're sitting on a ton of natural gas underneath us
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: here in New York State. She refuses to drill it,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: refuses while at the same time buying natural gas from Pennsylvania.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: We got our own natural gas here. She could bring
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: your electric build down by about two hundred percent easily,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: just do this. So he's going to bring all that
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: up in a debate. She does not want that said
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: publicly with her standing there, so he's trying to debate her.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: She keeps stuck on him. But Bruce Blakeman, he'd be
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a great governor. He want to help. Go to blakemanfronewyork
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: dot com. If you things I hope he wins, will
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: help him win. Go to Bruce. Go to blakemanfromew York
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: dot com blakemanfronew York dot com and donate or volunteer
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: or whatever you can do. Hey, we'll take some calls.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Next eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the number eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
