• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Now the Mark Simone Show on seven ten wor filling
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: in for Mark, here's Ken Rosato.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: That's so good to be with you on a Friday.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Nice to be here to give the great Mark Simon
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: a nice long weekend. And we want you to call
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: us up. Let us know what you have to say.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: It's eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten for
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: seven ten WR used to be on Channel seven, Channel
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: five here in New York City. For those who say
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I know that name from where? Why don't I know
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: that name?
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I was a news anchor for about thirty years in
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: New York and then more around the country, worked in
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Miami and other places. And nowadays I do a show
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: on a channel called on New Jersey and you could
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: stream it anywhere in the world ATNENJ dot com. ONNJ
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: dot com, I heard Mark talking about different channels yesterday
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and he couldn't remember what they're called. Streaming channels are
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: known as fast channels, and it makes me laugh being
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a person. I'm fifty nine, and a fast channel is
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: an acronym for free advertiser sponsored television.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Fast.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: You know what we used to call that when I
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: was a kid, television because you didn't have cable. When
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I was a kid, you didn't have satellite. You just
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: had television and there were sponsors. And today they're back
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to it, only instead of having a broadcast channel, the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: channels are streamed on the internet, and now that all
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the TVs are smart TVs, you can just stream it
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: on your smart TV and watch it like you would
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a broadcast channel, which is why broadcast TV is sort
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of dying on the mine right now, and things are changing.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: That's the whole industry is sort of reinventing itself. But
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: we could talk about that another day. Today, the big news,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: of course, everyone's buzzing about is Luigi Mangioni. He is
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: right now at a federal court, or at least his
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: attorney is trying to allegedly hear a work some kind
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: of a plea deal. No word on if there was
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: any kind of arrangement in advance, if there was any
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: kind of a deal reach in advance, and this is
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: a formality, or if this is the first time that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the attorney is meeting with the federal judge.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: We just spoke with.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: A former New York State Supreme Court judge Judge Cammons,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and he said that it is probably more likely that
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: there was some kind of discussion in advance. You don't
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: usually just go to a judge cold and say, hey,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: we got this idea, but we don't know. We'll find out.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So right now, the media is waiting breathlessly because members
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: of the media have fallen in love with this accused murderer,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and so they are all excited about the fact that
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: this bushy, eyebrowed, scruffy looking frat boy looking rich kid.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Remember he comes from very wealthy parents, that he's accused
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of murdering a dad and a husband in cold blood,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and yet there are people who are all excited and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: think he's the greatest thing since life spread. And it
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: just breaks my heart to see anyone think that, even
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: somebody just accused of it should make you really wonder
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: why somebody feels attracted to an individual like that. But
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: either way, listen, we're all innocent until proven guilty. He
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: gets a day in court, we'll see what happens. But
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: we will find out if in fact there is a
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: plea deal offered if a judge decides on it. Members
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of the media, I think thought that the midute eleven
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: o'clock came, we'd have an answer. It may be days
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: before we have an answer. We don't know. We don't
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: even know for sure that the defense came with some
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: kind of a suggestion to the judge. But we will
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: find out what happens. The whole point of having this
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: deal made, as Judge Cammon's pointed out when we had
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: him on a little earlier, was if a deal is
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: reached with the federal court. Remember there are two different
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: courts involved in this case. There are federal charges, there
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: are state charges. To avoid the idea of double jeopardy,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that is, being tried for the same case twice, which
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: is against the law.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, can't have double jeopardy.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: What happened was the state has charged Luigi Mangoni with murder,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and the federal charges are for stalking because video allegedly
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: shows Mangoni outside the New York Hilton all night waiting
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: for ostensibly waiting for Brian Thompson, and that's why they
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: are stalking charges. So those are two different charges. What
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the judge had said when we spoke to him earlier
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: was that if there is a deal reached with Mangoni
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: on the stalking charges the state. In the state case,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: his defense attorneys will try to say, well, the stalking
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: allegedly led to the murder, and so you can't charge
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: him again, we can't go through with the state case.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: So that would be double jeopardy. So you throw off
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the state case. But Judge Cammons says that no, there
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: could be a good argument made that those are two
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: very separate charges. And even if say there is an
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: agreement made in the federal courts today right now at
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: eleven o'clock little after eleven, it's eleven eleven, that say,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: for instance, he says, yes, I stalked and I committed murder.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: That now we've made the plea, it's on the public record.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: If that is the case, I'm just saying we don't
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: know that that's the case.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Then go back to the state court.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: The state court could say, well, now he's already pleaded guilty,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and that's a whole that's a whole other case. Now
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: now it's like, try to defend yourself in state court.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: If they determine those are two separate charges, and he
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: could go to court, go to trial, I should say
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: in the state court and move forward. So we'll see
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: what happens. There'll be a lot of legal experts, a
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: lot more knowledgeable than me about this, who'll be talking
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: about this all day today. We will stay on top
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: of it here at seven to ten. Wr dary All
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Binger's been talking about it all morning too, and she'll
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: have more about it throughout the morning, and we'll hear
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: more also from Liz Warner.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Through the day.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: She continues the news. In terms of legal experts, there
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: was one legal expert on ABC News already talking about this.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: This is ABC News Legal contributor Brian Buckmeyer, who had
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: this to say.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I think the plan is to try to get a
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: good deal from the judge, sidestep the prosecution, take it
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: from there, and in hope double jeopardy argument wins in
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: the state court. And that's how you get Luigia Manngoni
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: serving twelve years in prison because they probably believe this
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: is a mitigation case rather than a trial case. I
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: think that's always that makes sense to me.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I think if he ends up, if that were the case,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: we don't know what the case is going to be.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I think mister Buckmeyer was hypothesizing, obviously, but if that
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: were the case, if this twenty eight year old man
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: got twelve years for allegedly being seen on video allegedly
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: shooting a father, a husband in the back in cold
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: blood early in the morning, who was simply walking to
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a breakfast. I think you'd have a lot of people
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in this country very upset, and you'd have a lot
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: of people saying, you know what, if I couldn't afford
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a good attorney, my kid would be spending life in prison,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: and this guy gets away with twelve years behind bars.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I think you'd have a lot of people very upset
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: if that in fact were the case.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: But we'll see what happens.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: We don't know. Everybody's hypothesizing. In the meantime. Seven ten
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: wore the Voice of New York. This is Ken Risotto
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: and from Mark on the third of three hours for
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the Mark Simone Show. For those saying, what do you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: mean it's only a two hour show, Ken, No, as
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of this week the show or last week, I should say,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the show became three hours. Mark is now on nine
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to noon Monday through Friday. So we ask you to listen.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: If you normally don't listen till you get to work,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: say or whatever, and you listen normally at ten. You
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: can now tune in starting at nine Monday through Friday,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: nine to noon the Mark Simone Show here at seven
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: to ten wor. We also talked a little bit about
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hokel, the Governor of New York, and we talked
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: about Bruce Blakeman. Now, today the President is supposed to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: come to Nassau County and he will address law enforcement
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and praise them and talk to Bruce Blakeman. Ostensibly it's
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to garner support for Bruce Blakeman. There have been several
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: polls showing him growing in popularity quite a bit. Now,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: mind you, down here in southern New York State, Blakeman
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: is pretty much known. But you go north of say, Poughkeepsie,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: people have no idea. And there's a lot of New
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: York State north of Poughkeepsie. We all tend to be
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: very New York City centric when it comes to New
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: York State. I used to work in Albany, I used
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to work in Poughkeepsie at radio stations there, and I
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: worked in Elmira at a TV station, the NBC station there.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And there is a lot of New York out there,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and people don't know from up there.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I knew people who.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Were in Elmira their whole lives who used to drive
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to Philadelphia but never, never in their lives went to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: New York. That's an interesting little fun fact. If you
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: are in Elmira, New York, it is shorter to drive
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to Philadelphia than it is to drive to New York City.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Think about that. That's weird and you're like, how because
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I eighty is directly under you can get right onto
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I eighty and then what is it eighty one? I'm sorry,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: net eighty eighty one. Take eighty one straight down to Philly,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: right and then as opposed to having to go east
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: and then south to get into New York City. So
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: it's actually much shorter to get to Philly. So the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: big city for many people in the western part of
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: New York State, Buffalo, Elmira, Binghamton is to go to Philly,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: not New York City. So a lot of folks that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: don't know of the players in the New York area.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: But bottom line, as people upstate hear more and more
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: about Bruce Blakeman, they like him because Upstaters tend to
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: be a little more conservative or at least a little
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: more open minded than many in the city who tend to.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Be very hardcore. Blue York is divided.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: You come down to the Westchester border from Westchester South, Boom,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: you have hardcore liberals Westchester North, it tends to be
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: very purple to purple red. So if Bruce Blakeman's voice
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: is heard upstate, I think he has a very good shot.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: And what the polls have shown originally, Blakeman was twenty
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: some odd points behind Kathy hokel Oh, she of the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: bad buck teeth. Ken, she doesn't have buck teeth. Those
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: are just horribly cheap caps.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Correct, exactly.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Sorry I've been saying and I'm so mean I've been
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: saying it. If you go back and look at video
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of Kathy Hokele when she was lieutenant governor. Okay, yes,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and people forgot.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: It was Andrew Cuomo who.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Was governor, who brought her on as lieutenant governor and
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: when she was lieutenant governor. Go look at YouTube videos
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: of her teeth back then and listen to the way
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: she spoke when she had her own teeth as opposed
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: to the very bad caps. Now, next time you have
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a dentist who tries to sell you on the neers,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you ask will they look like Hocals And if the
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: dentist says, well they might, you go to another dentist
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: just saying I.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Know that's mean, Ken. You shouldn't.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't make ad hominem attacks and pick on people's looks.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: When you do it to yourself and it turns out
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: this way, then I think your fair game.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: It is what it is.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Politics is a dirty business. But anyway, the polls initially
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: had Bruce Blakeman twenty five points behind. Now there's a
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: poll that shows him barely ten points behind. We still
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: have a couple of months before the election, and there
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: was a poll a few weeks ago showing him just
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: four points behind. So now, considering Kathy Hochel is well
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: known throughout the state, she should be way ahead. But
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: what this says is as an incumbent that her likability
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: isn't all there. She has people on the right who
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: certainly don't like her, and there are people on the left.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Because the Democrats have really become divided, the super hardcore
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: left mom damiites and then the more mainstream Democrats. Well,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the more mainstream Democrats who are upstate who know Kathy Hokeel.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Don't really like her.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: The hardcore left wing Democrats in New York City don't
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: think she's liberal enough, and of course the Republicans want
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: her out of office. Does Bruce Blakeman have a shot
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: at this point, I'd say it's a tiny one, but
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: he does have a shot. So President Trump is coming
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: today and he will be speaking to the police in
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Nassau County, but he will be there ostensibly on behalf
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: of Bruce Blakeman. Here is Blakeman talking about the President.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: The President has indicated an interest in coming to honor
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: the people of law enforcement here in Nassau County. Nassau
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: County backs the blue.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: That's right, they do. And Bruce also talked about how
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: members of the police in Nassau County interact with ICE.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: In a recent case, because the governor now wants absolutely
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: no interaction between local police and ICE agents.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: We did it without raiding one church, one school, one business,
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: one daycare center, very orderly.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what happens when police cooperate with ICE. If
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: you want to have confrontation where there are bullets flying
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: and cars running into people, then you just order the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: police in New York State to have no interaction with ICE.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: And that will happen. But when you allow police to
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: cooperate with federal agents ICE agents, it prevents all that.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: If a person is already in a state court or
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: a county court for committing a crime, and you allow
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: ICE agents in, because those individuals are illegal aliens, ICE
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: agents can then get them as they're coming out of court.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Within the building. There won't be any issue because they'll
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: already be in cuffs from the trial, and then they
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: can be escorted out. But when you keep ICE agents
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: from coming into federal I meant county court, which, by
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the way, makes you wonder as a citizen of the
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: United States, you're going to tell me that I can
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: be discriminated against from entering a building that my tax
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: dollars auld pay for because I happen to have a
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: fedaal job. That's kind of crazy if you think about it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: So if I am an illegal alien who doesn't pay
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: taxes and isn't a citizen, I'm allowed to walk into
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a county court building or a state court building. But
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: if I am a federal agent who lives in the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: same county, I am not allowed to walk into a
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: state court or a local county court. How is that
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: even legal. Somebody's got to challenge that.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: To me, that is absolutely a violation of law.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: You can't discriminate against people, especially when you're letting illegal
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: migrants into the courts. If they want to go for
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: a relative, they can come in, but an ICE agent
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: can't because you don't like ICE. See, this is where
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the sanctuary states and sanctuary cities cross the line. In
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: my view, you don't have to have your officers cooperate,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: but when you have them actively campaign against ICE agents,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: that's when I think you cross the line into obstruction
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: with obstruction of justice, and that's where I think some
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: local people have to be charged to send a message.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: What do you think about it? Eight hundred three two
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: one zero seven ten eight hundred three two one zero
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: seven ten. We'll take your calls. Coming up next here
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: at seven ten. WIR
