  Speaker 1: His job? Make it all make sense. He's Mark Simone
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on 710WOR. Oh, hey, that's a beautiful Tuesday. It's going
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to be really nice today and tomorrow. Rain on Thursday,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: but enjoy it today and tomorrow. Beautiful summer day. So listen,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Bruce Blakeman, you know, it's got the deck stacked against him. It's,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you know, it's a very tough thing to be a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Republican run for governor in New York, but you've seen
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the last few not succeed. Lee Zeldin, Rob Astorino, who else?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: There were a few others, but this is different. This
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: is different. Blakeman's different. He's a very sharp guy, and
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: he's been a great governor for five years now. Nassau
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: County Executive, that job is this being a governor. You're
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the governor of the county, and he's been phenomenal at it.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: The best-run county in the country. He's considered the best
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: county executive. So Unlike a congressman who you don't exactly
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: know how they'd be as a manager because they're just legislators,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: this guy's got a track record as a great governor. Now,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: he's also a great speaker and he does very well
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: campaigning and works very hard. Now, here's the thing. She
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: has outraised him because she's a Democrat. He's raised about $ 11,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: $ 12 million in She's raised $ 22 million. She's got $ 22
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: million in cash. And the DNC is going to give
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: her another $ 20 million. That's $ 42 million. So she's going
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to run a ton of TV commercials. She already started.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: She's running a whole bunch of TV commercials against him
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: for his Trump stuff. You know, he's a Trump MAGA,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Trump MAGA, MAGA, Trump MAGA, showing him and Trump, hugging
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: him and Trump. So that's to hurt him. Now, here's
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: her problem. And here's what's going to really, really help Blakeman.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Not that he needs help. I think he can win
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: on his own. But some big things are coming. There's
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a bunch of big super packs with endless money that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: are now coming out for Blakeman. And congratulations to James Dolan. Yeah,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: the Madison Square Garden James Dolan. He's put together one pack.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: They're spending a million dollars right now running ads. And...
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: You know, don't think of just TV commercials. TV commercials
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: don't mean that much anymore. I mean, it's fine, but
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you need these same commercials to run on digital and
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: streaming platforms, and they're running there. Dolan right now is
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: spending a million dollars running commercials to target Hochul's commercials.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: So Hochul's running all those Blakeman Trump commercials, and Dolan
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: is running all these commercials about, look how ridiculous Hochul is.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: She's obsessed with Trump. In the commercial, it says, Kathy
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Hochul blames Trump for everything, but the president didn't raise
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: our energy bill 48 times. He didn't put illegal migrants
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: in hotels and stick us with the bill. Hochul did.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: The president didn't raise taxes and tell New Yorkers to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: get the hell out. Hochul did. The president didn't give
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: us congestion pricing. It's a good argument. These commercials are
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: running all over the place right now. We need a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: governor who will shift the blame. We need a governor
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: who will lead. So these are all for Blakeman. This
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: is going to be a big, big help. He's already
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: spent a million, and there's millions more coming. So this
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: will help Blakeman. Now there's another PAC that's starting up,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: starting to spend. They've got millions of dollars. They're going
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to back Blakeman. It's a newly created PAC. They're going
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: to have literally millions and millions. It's the Defend Empire
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: State PAC. And it's going to help Blakeman. It's going
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to spend a fortune to counter Hochul. So she's got
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: these two packs and more are coming. They're going to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: be very aggressive going after her. Now, remember, it's August.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: The campaign does not really start till after Labor Day.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: So even though Blakeman went from 25 points behind to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: five points behind, he hasn't even started yet. After Labor Day,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: it really gets started. So these packs are going to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: jump in. It's not going to be pretty for Hochul.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: She's going to have a big problem. Now, New York
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: City's different. You know, New York City's a lot of
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: crazy left-wing Mamdani people, but Blakeman only needs to win 35%
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: of New York. That's all he needs, 35%. And he's
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: different from these other guys that ran. Lee Zeldin was a,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you know, Suffolk County, Long Island kind of guy. Rob
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Astorino's a Westchester kind of guy. Blakeman's a Nassau County guy,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: but there's something very New York City about him. He
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: spent a lot of his life in New York City,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: so he's a, People, New Yorkers think of him as
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a New York City guy too. So he's got a really,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: really good shot at this. And you might see things
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: really heat up after Labor Day, especially in the middle
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: of September through the end of October. And she's agreed
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to debate Blakeman. That's big because Blakeman can easily out-debate her, easily.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Because she'll yell and scream, scream, MAGA Trump, MAGA Trump.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be effective. Now, the only problem
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: is she's only agreed to one debate. And it's on
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: New York One, which nobody sees. There's absolutely no audience
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: on New York One. It'll be online, too, and the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: clips will go viral. But it'd be better to have
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the debate on a real place. Also, New York One
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: is the most biased, slanted, left-wing. I mean, listen, I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: worked there for 17 years. They're very nice people. There's
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: no nicer guy than Errol Lewis. But there's no more slanted,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: biased guy than Errol Lewis. It's going to be a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: bunch of those types. doing the questioning. So that's not
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: going to be so great. Hey, remember yesterday I was
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: telling you about the president at an IndyCar race. He
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: brought it to Washington, D.C. They've talked about it for years, decades, but,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you know, politicians just talk about something. Trump actually gets
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: it done. So there it was all around Washington, D.C.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: It was beautiful to watch on TV, IndyCar, and you
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: hear that, you know, those engines and roaring. And as
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I was telling you, It drives the left crazy. You know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: they don't like cars. They don't like gasoline. They don't
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: like engine noise. They like an electric car that sounds
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: like this. That's the sound they like. I love the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: sound of an engine. They hate it. So they got
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: sick to their stomach watching this IndyCar, these roaring engines.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: And they're going 200 miles an hour. You know, they're
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: burning like a tank of gas every five feet. It
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: was driving them nuts. So Adam Schiff had to speak out.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: He couldn't help himself. He denounced the whole thing as
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a disgusting spectacle to distract Americans from higher costs and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: policy failures. And Schiff yelling, while you struggle with the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: cost of gas, look how much gas they're wasting. More
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: taxpayer money was spent on this self-aggrandizing distraction, and you
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: get higher taxes and higher costs. Ha ha. Now, if
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you pick this apart, it's Schiff that's giving you the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: higher taxes. Trump is lowering your taxes. Schiff and the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Democrats are raising the taxes. And the race— he' s also a Democrat.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: They're totally out of touch. They don't realize what NASCAR
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: means to America. They don't realize what IndyCar means to America.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: You know the number one sport, number one spectator sport
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: in America? NASCAR. But they don't know that. Don't tell
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: them that. So everybody went crazy about Schiff's comments, yelling
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and screaming at him, especially the race fans. And that's
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: half of America, more than three quarters of America. And
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: they're pointing out, remember Schiff, anything Schiff says is always
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: a lie, always a lie. They had to point out
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to him the whole thing, the race, everything was privately funded.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Not only was it privately funded, but it brought a
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: ton of money into the government because Tens of thousands
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of spectators poured into Washington and spent money. And it
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: was actually, if you watch the whole thing, it was
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: all about the pride of being an American. It was
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: about great racing and patriotism on display. But you can't
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: explain this to Democrats. They don't get that kind of stuff. Hey,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: also in the last week or so, ICE doing very
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: well in Washington, D.C. ICE arrested 400 people. Criminal illegals.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: These are illegals with criminal convictions, actual criminals. Now, they
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: went on a big, massive ice raid, ice sweep. They
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: got 1,300 illegals off the streets of Washington, actually, in
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the last two weeks. In the group was 400 illegals
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: who had criminal convictions and pending criminal charges. They are
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: off the streets of Washington, D.C. right now. You know,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that was one of the most dangerous cities in America.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: People were terrified. You couldn't walk around Washington, D.C. at night.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Forget it. You couldn't go anywhere. There were a couple
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of nice areas, little nice areas, but you go two
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: blocks the other way and you're in a war zone.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Trump has cleaned that up. People are now free to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: go out. Not that many big restaurants in Washington or
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: anything like that. But now that it's safe, people are
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: going out. Restaurants are making a fortune. Businesses are making
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a fortune. It's really good. Hey, I want to tell
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: you something really important. If you're one of those intermittent fasters,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of people that don't
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: eat breakfast anymore. They have this intermittent fasting. You know,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I don't eat for 14 hours, for 16 hours. So
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: they eat earlier at night and then they don't eat
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: breakfast and they don't eat till like lunch. There's been
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: studies showing that's very unhealthy. But a brand new huge
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: study from one of the top hospitals has found if
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: you do that, you've got an increased risk of dying
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: by 29%. Eating afternoon, if you don't eat your first
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: meal of the afternoon, 46% higher risk of cardiovascular death
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: compared to a normal early breakfast. Also a study from
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Mass General, Brigham, very good hospital. said later breakfast times
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: in later life not only linked to a higher risk
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of early death, but also linked to depression, fatigue, and
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: oral health problems. So if right now you haven't eaten yet,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: go eat right now. No more of that intermittent fasting.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Just cut down on what you eat. Forget the intermittent fasting. Hey, oh,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: we've got a lot coming up. We'll talk to the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: brilliant columnist Liz Peek. We'll take some calls. And a
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: lot more just ahead. Don't forget, it's three hours now.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Mark Simone, 9 to noon. 9 to noon. Three hours
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: every day here on 710WOR.
