Mr. New York, Mark Simone on W-O-R.

Well, a big heat wave in New York.

It should be like 107 with the heat index and all of that over the weekend.

It's going to be rough.

Hopefully, everything's under control power-wise.

Hopefully, after what happened last weekend, they've checked every whatever that is.

They've got to check and make sure nothing blows out over the weekend.

The mayor will be here.

I don't know if that's good news.

The mayor had the Garner family at Gracie Mansion comforting them.

I wonder if he at any point said to them, you know, I kind of caused this incident.

You look at that video and you wonder, here's a guy very, very petty crime, selling counterfeit cigarettes or whatever he was doing there.

Why were there all these cops around there? Why were they so tough on this guy?

Well, the reason is, and this story doesn't get brought up much.

It came out at the time, but when you sell those counterfeit cigarettes, you're taking

business away from the stores next to him that sell the cigarettes at the marked-up price.

Well, those stores had lobbyists.

They're big donors.

They had a lot of juice at City Hall.

They called City Hall.

The mayor called the city hall called the local precinct there in Staten Island and said,

Get rid of these guys with the bootleg cigarettes.
