This is the Mark Simone show on 710 W.O.R.

Filling in for Mr. New York, here's Jesse Weber.

And welcome to the show, everybody.

Great to be here filling in for Mark on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, such a historic and important day.

Now, if you don't know me, I'm part of the 710 WR family. I co-host

Always in Fashion with my father, Mark Weber, airs on the station Saturday and Sunday nights. I'm on all the time with Michael Rito and Len Berman in the morning. I'm a host on the Long Crime Network. I'm an attorney. I do a bunch of different things, but now I get the opportunity to talk with all of you today.

And I do want to hear from all of you today.

So you can call in 800, 321-0-7-10. There's a lot to get to today. First, I want to let you know that we're going to talk to Rob Astorino later on in this hour. Now, Rob Astorino is running for governor in New York on the Republican ticket. Give you a sense of that. We haven't had a Republican governor in New York since 2006 with Pataki. So I'm very curious to see how he's going to be planning to win that. Also, our good friend Joe Concha will be with us later on in the program. I love Joe. He always gives such great insight into all of the political craziness of the day. Now, like I said, feel free to call in. We have a lot to get to.

There's voting rights, big showdown in Washington tomorrow.

We'll talk Mayor Eric Adams.

prosecuting certain crimes anymore he's downgrading felonies to misdemeanors but it has gotten so bad

it has gotten so bad under his leadership that prosecutors are quitting Jonah lucy orborn this is

somebody who left the manhattan d a office. This was announced over the weekend.

She was the prosecutor that put Harvey Weinstein away. Now, I want to tell you, I covered Harvey Weinstein's trial.

I reported on it. I was in that courthouse every day. I watched her. She was amazing.

So the fact that you have this high level of a prosecutor who's leaving, that is not a good sign for Alvin Breg. It just seems that he's trying to put into his office all of these younger, progressive people. And you have family members of victims of very serious crimes who are worried right now. They're worried if they're going to receive justice. William Roland, this guy accused of threatening a store employee with a knife,
