Now on 710 W.O.R.

Sitting it for Mr. New York, Mark Simone.

Here's Joe Concha.

It's kind of a pressing hearing that Joe Bartlett newscast before about restaurant owners here in New York City not being able to open still, despite everything else that's been open.

And again, every politician that includes Cuomo, that includes Governor Murphy here in Jersey,

it includes obviously de Blasio, all these politicians that encourage people to go out and protest

with Black Lives Matter in the tens of thousands or even millions, all in close quarters, no social distancing.

You lost your right to tell any business that they can't open anymore.

Sorry, that was the turning point because you made it political.

You said that the cause was bigger than the virus.

You didn't care about the health aspect at all because you want to score some cheap political points with your base.

That's all.

So to tell these restaurants, nope, still, despite the fact that we have something like a positivity

right now in New York City, a 0.24 that's easily one of the lowest in the country, like lower to Montana.

So what's the excuse now? All right? You always said listen to the science. Listen to the doctors. Follow the

facts. We're doing all that now. New York City is as good as it's ever going to be as far as

coronavirus is concerned. Let these restaurants open. 25%, 50%. Because I'll tell you, I got a little

patty on my backyard here in Jersey, right? And even last night, my wife says, do you want to eat outside tonight?

You know what? There was a touch of a chill in the air. Maybe it was like in the upper 60s.

I'm like, I don't know, let's just eat inside. Conditions have to be almost perfect to have an outdoor meal.

Right? It has to be room temperature. If it's a little warm or fine, you'll live with it on a summer night. But once we hit September, you're going to have lows in the 50s,

and then suddenly, before you know it, in October, it's the 40s.
