  Speaker 1: He knows his way around all this.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: It's the Mark Simone show on seven ten wor well, hey,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: it's our number three. That's right. It's three hours every day,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: three hours every day, nine to noon, so this is
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: the third and final hour. A lot going on. So
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: here's the details. The solar eclipse is today and as
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: far as New York City it'll be. It'll start at
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: one oh seven pm am, no pm, yeah, one oh
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: seven pm This afternoon, at one oh seven, just after
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: one o'clock, the eclipse will begin and continue until two
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: thirty eight pm. Now it's not over in New York,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: so it's we're not going to get the full eclipse.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: We'll get a partial eclipse. But what does that mean exactly.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know exactly. I guess it'll just get darker.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: It will not get completely dark. But if you're outside
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: and it suddenly is getting darker, it's the eclipse. Maximum
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: eclipse time is expected to be one point fifty four pm.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: And remember you're not supposed to look directly at the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: sun unless you have those stupid eclipse glasses or whatever
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: they are. Do not look directly at the sun. But
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know anybody who normally would look directly at
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the sun. I've seen people look at the moon, but
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: they don't just look up and look at the sun.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: But it's today, so you'll see it start to get dark. Hey,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: you're talking about the James Dolan there, the owner of
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the Garden, the Knicks and the Rangers and the Radio
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: City and the Sphere and all sorts of stuff. And
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: they make a lot of money. Obviously they're in fact,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: as you're just heard on the news, starting tickets at
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the Knicks will be two thousand dollars this seek. But
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: this is interesting now when it comes to Hochal and
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman. Blakeman was way behind and slowly but surely
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: he's catching up to Hochel. This is what happened in
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Nassau County when he ran, he was way behind. The
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: county executive, Laura Kern, was very popular. He's not going
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to beat her. And the demos demographics in Nassau County
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: were just like those of New York and they would
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: say Republican's not going to win, not going to win.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: But it was Bruce Blakeman, and slowly but surely he
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: caught up and then he ended up winning big, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: it looks like that same exact pattern is happening here
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: in New York. He's getting closer and closer and closer. Now,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the problem is, Hockel has a lot of money. Hokeel
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: hasn't a ton of money. She's got twenty one million
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: in cash on hand. She's got an additional twenty two
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: million coming from the State Democratic Party. That would be
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: forty three million. Blakeman has raised eleven million dollars eleven million,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: so she's got a lot more money. Now Blakeman needs
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: more money. And if you want him to win, donate
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: go to Blakemanfronewyork dot com, Blakeman from New York dot
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: com and make a donation. Now, a lot of this
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: money course comes from the big donors, the big business
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: guys in New York, the big companies. And I'll say
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: to these guys all the time, you got to give
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to Blakeman. And they love Blakeman. They're all secretly hoping
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Blakeman wins. They want Blakeman, but they're afraid to donate.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Some of them because d'Al tellian and I do a
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: lot of business with the state and Kathy Hochel, I
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: don't want to get her mad given to Blakeman, so
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: they'll give to Hochel. But some are afraid to give
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: to her. So you can make up for that, go
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to Blakemanfromnewyork dot com. But good for James Dolan, Good
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: for James Dolan. Look at this, a James Dolan backed
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: superpack is spending a lot of money against Hochel. He's
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: spending more than a million dollars and he's got one
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: thirty second spot that he's going to be running all
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: over the place. It's that get out of town spot.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Remember Hochel told everybody, all the Republicans and Conservatives and
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: all the rich guys, to get out of town. She said,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: jump on a bus, head down to Florida where you belong,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: literally said get out of town. And then when she
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: lost a lot of the tax base, they cut these
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: two things together where she's making a speech because we
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: need you back. Tell your friends in Florida to come back.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: We need them back. So it's a flip flopping, ridiculous
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: looking Kathy hopele. But Dolan is spending a million dollars
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: running that thirty second spot all over the place. Now
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: it's mostly digital and streaming platforms. Hey, by the way,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: let me explain something to some people don't get this.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: They'll say about somebody Blakeman or whoever. They'll say, it's
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: not I don't see his ads. I don't see I'm
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: if you're watching TV, regular TV, you're not supposed to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: see the ads. If it's you know, the good old
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: days a million years ago, your ran ads on the
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: eleven o'clock news, your ran ads on channel four, Channel two,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: channel seven TV ads, that doesn't mean anything anymore, Not
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: very many people see them. If you want to really
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: be effective, you run digital and streaming ads. Now, it's
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: complicated how this works nowadays. Now for instan let's say
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you're the Bruce Blakeman. You don't have to run any
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: ads here on WOOR or WABC for that Maney, you
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: wouldn't run ads on stations where they're all supporting you
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: and every listener they've got, every listener we got, it's
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: probably voting for Blackman anyways. So you don't run ads here.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: But but you want to be on the breakfast club
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: down the hall there. You want to be on KTU
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: over there, you want to be on But the other
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: thing we can do. We have a lot of advertisers
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: you don't ever hear on the air, believe it or not,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of our advertisers don't. They're not on the air.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: They don't need to be on the air because iHeart
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: is the best at this, the most sophisticated a digital advertising.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: So what that means if you're let's say you're Blakeman
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: or some candidate and you know exactly what you want.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: We need people in this district in Brooklyn, We need
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: people in this pocket of the Bronx. So you come
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: here and you same salespeople, but they'll sell you the
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: digital ads so you can be all over our digital
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: and iHeart digital reaches hundreds of millions of people, so
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: we'll put you exactly what you want. Let's say you
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: have a law firm but you only do lost stuff
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: in the southern New Jersey. Well you come here and
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: we put you on the digital, but you're only being
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: seen by everybody and that there are some cases where
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: it's like a restaurant and they only want to be
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: reaching people within two miles of their restaurants. So we
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: could do that digitally for you. It'll come up on
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: everybody's digital on their phones everywhere. And this goes on
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: all the time now. So when you're not seeing the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: ads all over you know, Good Day in New York
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: or the eleven o'clock News, don't worry about that. That's
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: not the big part of advertise anymore. You know, Like
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: when you listen to this show, we have listeners all
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: over the country, So we have some advertisers you're not
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: hearing because they're only hearing them in Florida. On a
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: lot of people listen on the stream. So if you're
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: listening online on the stream or on the app, you're
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: hearing certain ads here in New York. People in Florida
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: are hearing different ads. It's a much more complex business nowadays. Hey,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: here's some this is sad news. You know, Lindsey Graham
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: died with heart problems, rip day order or whatever it was.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: And it looks like the AP reporting that the medical
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: stuff has come out is all these reports and it
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: looks like he just never went to a doctor. You know,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: he was seventy one and at that point, you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: usually that point of your life, you're taking stuff every day.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: You take some blood pressure medicine or some what do
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: you call that, you know, statins, statins for cholesterol, or
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: you're taking that kind of it's normal. And apparently he
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: wasn't doing anything. He didn't never, according to this, he
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: didn't see a cardiologist ever. I mean, this is terrible stuff,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: and it happens sometimes these older politicians. Look at Joe Biden,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the prostate cancer got out of control and spread his
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: wife saying that they never got the prostate checked because
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: according to the government recommendations after seventy you don't need
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: to check your prostate every year. That's ridiculous. Of course
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: you do. And I've asked a lot of the top
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: doctors around and they said that is crazy. You don't
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: care how old anybody is, you always check the prostate.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Had Biden been checking it every year, they would have
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: caught it right away and it would have been no problem.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Now he was president for four years and for four
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: years he was getting those official presidential Walter Reid Hospital physicals,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: and those are the most thorough in the world. So
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: her story that the government recommendation is don't check that
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense. If you look at the report
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: on those physicals, they check about fifty things that aren't recommended.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: They just check anything in everything. And even if you
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: don't do the manual prostate check, obviously a yearly physical,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: you got a blood test and that's where you check
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the prostate too. And there's no doctor in the world
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: if he's ordering these blood tests wouldn't ask for the
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: prostate test too. It's the same blood. So it doesn't
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: make any sense. But this, of course it's Jill Biden
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: saying this. Who knows what the real truth is? Police
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Commissioner Jessica Tish all these numbers. Crime is down. It
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: is down overall. I mean it's up in some areas
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: where you don't want it to be up, but here
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: she is.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Through the first seven months of this year, in New
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: York City recorded the fewest murders, shooting incidents, and shooting
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: victims in recorded history. Major crime is down nearly seven
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: percent city wide, and public housing recorded its safest first
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: seven months since tracking began.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, good stuff, but some minor crime is up. You know,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: you may not get shot or murdered, but where you've
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: got to worry about robberies, assaults, that kind of stuff,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: And no fault of the NYPD or they just got
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: you know, so many cuts. They are not enough cops.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: There's not enough.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: This this milestone is a direct result of the NYPD's
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: precision policing strategy, putting officers where and when they are needed, most,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: identifying the people and the groups driving the violence, and
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: taking guns out of circulation before they can be used
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: to harm Yorkers.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, besides not enough manpower, they are doing a great job.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: With what they We cross that three thousand gun mark
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: in July twenty seventh, less than two months after reaching
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: two thousand guns in early June.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Heay, And for all of you around the country that listen,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: you talk to people around the country, I think everything
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: is a disaster here. If you walk around most of
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: most of Manhattan, it's just fine. I mean, there are
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: some precincts there where the crime is up right here
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: midtown man that everything is fine. If you went from
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: a time machine from nineteen ninety three to now, it
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: looks exactly the same. It's fine. Hey. The Luigi Mangione trial,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: we're talking about that before, and it was the final
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: hearing before the trial was to begin in September. However,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: that was the final hearing before the trial. However, they've
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: now scheduled a hearing on Friday. This is a surprise
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: to everybody, Experts saying this probably means the only way
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: they can explain this, there's probably a plea deal coming.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, this new hearing scheduled for Friday.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: That could mean a plea deal. Now, as I said before,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: every inch of Manhattan is covered with surveillance cameras. Wherever
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: you are, anywhere in the street, there's a surveillance camera
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: on you. So everything with Luigi Mangione is on video.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Leaving the hotel, shooting the guy fleeing, it's all on video.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: So he's got absolutely I would think, no chance of
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: beating the charges. So it looks like Friday that could
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: be a plea deal coming. So hey, we're talking aboutfore
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: may Or Mom Donnie with his free grocery stores, and
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: they keep saying you'll never live to see one of
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: these grocery stores not gonna happen. And he's talking about
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: forty million dollars to build one of his little and
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: they're little, creepy, little primitive, little grocery stores. He's talking
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: forty million, and he's saying maybe twenty twenty nine, three year,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: four years, you watch supermarkets get built you know, there's
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: a great Long Island's got the best supermarket, Uncle Giuseppe's.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: They're huge, They're like the Italian Wegmans. They're magnificent, they
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: go for miles. They're the most spectacular supermarkets. They're opening
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: a new one Friday in Greenville at Wheatley Plaza. But
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I've been keeping an eye on this now. This is
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: a thousand billion times the size of Mom Donnie's grocery store.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: This whole thing costs like two million dollars and they
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: started construction and a few months later it's open. It's
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: opening Friday. A few months a couple million, it's open.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: So Donne's talking about forty million, and it could take
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: five years. You'll never ever ever see it. Hey, speaking
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: a Long Island, just be aware. President Trump is coming
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Friday to Long Island. He's going to visit the Nassau
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: County Police Center. It's considered a state of the art
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: police academy training center. So he's going to visit with
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Cash Pattel. You Cash Hotel grew up in Garden City
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: and this police center is not too far from Garden City.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: But the President will land at JFK. That's going to
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: cause a lot of traffic problems and tie ups. Me
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: but the President coming to JFK Airport, Kennedy Airport, probably
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: around two o'clock, just before two o'clock, expected to go
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: to this police academy around three o'clock, and then I
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: don't know, let's say it's an hour or two, then
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: five o'clock or so, six'd be heading back to Kennedy Airport.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: So just remember that's going to cause a lot of
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: traffic problems, a lot of closures on Long Island. Hey,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred three two one
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. We always love getting
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: new callers, So if you haven't called before, call us
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
