Speaker 1: Now the Mark Simone Show on seven ten wo R
0:05
Speaker 1: filling in for Mark.
0:06
Speaker 2: Here's Ken Rosatto e. Very nice to be with you.
0:09
Speaker 2: Former New York City TV news guy here reporting for duty.
0:12
Speaker 2: You probably best remember me for twenty years over a
0:15
Speaker 2: Channel seven and just hearing Daria Albinger talk about Bill Ritter,
0:19
Speaker 2: the main anchor for decades at Channel seven. I had
0:22
Speaker 2: the privilege and honor of working with him for the
0:24
Speaker 2: twenty years that I was an anchor. And the group
0:28
Speaker 2: that is anchors for TV stations in New York, at
0:31
Speaker 2: all the stations, it's a very small family. We all
0:34
Speaker 2: know each other pretty well. And I will say that
0:36
Speaker 2: in the twenty years that I was there, Bill Ritter
0:39
Speaker 2: was like a big brother in a lot of ways, kindest,
0:42
Speaker 2: could be, super great advice, just a good man. And
0:47
Speaker 2: I just wish him well. I pray for him every night,
0:50
Speaker 2: and I just hope that the Alzheimer's, because of the
0:53
Speaker 2: medications we have today, I'm hoping that those medications treat
0:57
Speaker 2: him as kindly as possible. But he's a very good,
1:00
Speaker 2: very hard working, very dedicated man, a dad, a grandpa,
1:05
Speaker 2: and it was a pleasure working with him, you know,
1:07
Speaker 2: And and hopefully he has a lot of good years
1:10
Speaker 2: ahead of him. But it was big of him to
1:13
Speaker 2: take a point where he realized the Alzheimer's was impacting
1:16
Speaker 2: his memory enough that he had to step aside. The
1:18
Speaker 2: late great Bill Butell had issues similar to that. I
1:22
Speaker 2: wasn't sure if he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's per se,
1:24
Speaker 2: but I know he had dementia related issues as well,
1:28
Speaker 2: and he was just a lovely man as well. So anyway,
1:31
Speaker 2: small group of people, we it just it broke my
1:34
Speaker 2: heart when I heard the diagnosis publicly. I had heard
1:39
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago rumors swirling about it, but
1:43
Speaker 2: we just all hope that it wasn't true. And now
1:45
Speaker 2: we know the truth. But Bill Ritter very brave for
1:47
Speaker 2: coming out and telling everybody about it and sharing the
1:50
Speaker 2: journey so that people know that we have to eat right,
1:53
Speaker 2: exercise and talk to the doctor. If you have even
1:57
Speaker 2: the tiniest symptom, don't avoid it. Talk to the doctor
2:00
Speaker 2: and see if there are medications that can at least
2:02
Speaker 2: prolong it. We have a lot to talk about today.
2:05
Speaker 2: The phone lines are open. Give us a call, take
2:06
Speaker 2: part in the conversation. At eight hundred three to two
2:09
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten eight hundred three to two one
2:12
Speaker 2: zero seven ten. Special congrats to our friend Mark Simone
2:16
Speaker 2: for those who didn't hear. This week, he got the
2:18
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six Gold Standard and Broadcasting Award from Barrett Media.
2:23
Speaker 2: Nobody deserves it. More congrats my brother. And also, we
2:27
Speaker 2: want to talk about the US Iran deal. It is
2:29
Speaker 2: changing by the second, it seems, so the more we
2:33
Speaker 2: hear about it, the more questions we have to ask.
2:36
Speaker 2: A lot of people really scratching their heads saying should
2:38
Speaker 2: we have signed this? Should we go along with this?
2:41
Speaker 2: As of today For those who don't know or didn't
2:43
Speaker 2: hear as of earlier today, Iran decided that they are
2:48
Speaker 2: going to reclose the Strait of horror moves because they
2:52
Speaker 2: say that Israel's involvement in and presence in Lebanon negates
2:56
Speaker 2: the deal, so that they are saying they are reclosing
2:59
Speaker 2: the strait of Hormu's vice president of vents was supposed
3:02
Speaker 2: to go to Geneva this weekend and now he's saying
3:05
Speaker 2: it's postponed for the near future. Hopefully this is just
3:08
Speaker 2: a roadbump that we could solve. If not, and I'm
3:11
Speaker 2: a better watch it because we still have our military
3:14
Speaker 2: in the waters around that country and we could flatten
3:16
Speaker 2: him in a heartbeat. So we'll see where this goes.
3:19
Speaker 2: Hopefully the White House will have something to say about it. Today,
3:22
Speaker 2: two million people packing Lower Manhattan for the huge Knicks
3:25
Speaker 2: championship celebration, and now there were about a dozen arrests.
3:29
Speaker 2: But considering two million people there, that was enormous. You
3:34
Speaker 2: would think that with two million people anywhere, you'd have
3:37
Speaker 2: more trouble than not. But fortunately it was kept to
3:42
Speaker 2: a minimum. We know that some people almost got crushed.
3:44
Speaker 2: Unfortunately they weren't, but they almost got crushed when people
3:48
Speaker 2: rushed in area and folks who were near the pens
3:50
Speaker 2: near the barricades got kind of pushed against the pens.
3:54
Speaker 2: And then you had one case where a guy took
3:57
Speaker 2: a bottle and broke it and cut another guy in
3:59
Speaker 2: the neck, and that victim is in stable conditioned today.
4:04
Speaker 2: Bad stuff should not have happened, obviously, but the good
4:07
Speaker 2: news is the incident's were kept to a minimum, and
4:10
Speaker 2: that is the good news. But for those of you
4:12
Speaker 2: who missed yesterday's big, big celebration, I don't know if
4:17
Speaker 2: you heard zoron Mumdani speaking, Just take a listen to this.
4:20
Speaker 3: This is our city, this is our team.
4:24
Speaker 2: For fifty three years, we watched for fifty three years.
4:28
Speaker 4: We waited.
4:29
Speaker 2: Now we've won.
4:34
Speaker 5: One last time, New York saying with me Nixon.
4:39
Speaker 2: See now, this is a man who knows how to
4:42
Speaker 2: play the crowd or play to the crowd. Zoron Mumdani
4:45
Speaker 2: is the ultimate populist that way, and it's kind of scary.
4:49
Speaker 2: It's a little dangerous. Zoron knows how to get everybody
4:53
Speaker 2: to look at the sparkles on his right hand, while
4:55
Speaker 2: on his left hand he is doing very nefarious things
4:58
Speaker 2: with the government. Some he is just a socialist. This
5:01
Speaker 2: is the way he thinks. No, I think it's more
5:03
Speaker 2: nefarious than that. I think it's a plot. I don't
5:06
Speaker 2: like this. I disagree with democratic socialism. It is brainwashing,
5:12
Speaker 2: and they are brainwashing young people in this country. If
5:15
Speaker 2: you ask the average young person to define socialism, they can't.
5:19
Speaker 2: They have no idea what it's about. They think it's
5:21
Speaker 2: just being feared people. It's the meaningful. Corupid people don't
5:25
Speaker 2: ekol or money. They forget or don't understand or we're
5:28
Speaker 2: never taught deliberately that there isn't a finite amount of
5:32
Speaker 2: wealth in this world. It is infinite. Okay, there is
5:36
Speaker 2: an infinite pot of money and it can grow and
5:39
Speaker 2: grow and grow. It comes down to you will be
5:42
Speaker 2: rewarded for the efforts you make. If you come up
5:46
Speaker 2: with a great concept, if you invent a great widget,
5:49
Speaker 2: if you bake a better chocolate chip cookie, if you
5:51
Speaker 2: make a better doughnut, if you can build a house
5:54
Speaker 2: faster and more efficiently, if you can come up with
5:57
Speaker 2: an app that can put a tax cab out of
6:00
Speaker 2: business because someone can summon the car directly to your house,
6:04
Speaker 2: like you know Uber and Lyft. Those people become multi millionaires,
6:08
Speaker 2: if not billionaires, because they came up with a better idea.
6:12
Speaker 2: They weren't born millionaires and billionaires. They weren't born with
6:16
Speaker 2: silver spoons in their mouths.
6:17
Speaker 4: All right.
6:18
Speaker 2: Mark Zuckerberg wasn't born in poverty. But he came up
6:20
Speaker 2: with a great idea and he pushed that idea and
6:23
Speaker 2: he developed it. That's what capitalism is about. And the
6:27
Speaker 2: beautiful part about capitalism is everybody could be a millionaire
6:32
Speaker 2: every There is no limit, there's no point about We
6:36
Speaker 2: got two thousand that's it. We got to stop there.
6:39
Speaker 2: No everyone could be wealthy and successful and happy in
6:43
Speaker 2: a capitalist society, whereas in a socialist society, the common
6:47
Speaker 2: denominator is dumbed down. You can't make everybody a millionaire
6:52
Speaker 2: by the government's waving of a wand so let's dumb
6:55
Speaker 2: it all down and make everybody poor because that they
6:58
Speaker 2: can maintain. We could get you just enough money to
7:01
Speaker 2: survive and know more. And this way we're all the same. Well,
7:05
Speaker 2: what is the incentive to even get out of bed?
7:08
Speaker 2: If whether I go to work or I stay home
7:11
Speaker 2: on my butt, I make the same amount of money,
7:14
Speaker 2: what's the difference. I have a friend whose daughter lives
7:17
Speaker 2: in a communist country. I won't say which, but her
7:20
Speaker 2: daughter is a cardiologist and she has been trying to
7:23
Speaker 2: get to the United States. And it makes me laugh
7:25
Speaker 2: because of all the people that Biden allowed in illegally,
7:28
Speaker 2: she wants to come here legally, and it's difficult. She
7:30
Speaker 2: can't get in. But as a cardiologist, she makes less
7:33
Speaker 2: money than a cab driver in the United States makes.
7:37
Speaker 2: In her country, she does not make I think she
7:40
Speaker 2: gets a little stipend and she gets a nicer house
7:42
Speaker 2: to live in they grant you the house in that country.
7:45
Speaker 6: Wow.
7:46
Speaker 2: So she spent all those years working her butt off
7:48
Speaker 2: in school and she gets a nicer house to live in,
7:52
Speaker 2: but she gets the same salary she could barely afford
7:54
Speaker 2: to buy food. That shouldn't be the case. If you
7:57
Speaker 2: work hard and achieve, you should not be struggling to
8:01
Speaker 2: buy food. You know, it's the more effort you put in,
8:04
Speaker 2: the better idea you come up with. That's the benefit
8:06
Speaker 2: of capitalism. That's why you have people breaking down our
8:10
Speaker 2: doors from all over the world. Yet people are not
8:12
Speaker 2: breaking down the doors or communist countries to get there.
8:14
Speaker 2: You notice that how many people here fight to get
8:17
Speaker 2: into China. All right, maybe they'll go to the big
8:20
Speaker 2: cities in China that are hybrids, you know, the big
8:25
Speaker 2: big cities. Hong Kong is a hybrid. Remember Great Britain
8:28
Speaker 2: ran it for one hundred years and it became democratic.
8:31
Speaker 2: It became a democratic republic. It is still run quasi
8:35
Speaker 2: autonomously from the rest of communist China, which is why
8:38
Speaker 2: it's still successful. Beijing. Same thing. All the major cities
8:43
Speaker 2: in China where there is wealth, there is wealth because
8:47
Speaker 2: the government steps back and lets them run basically autonomously
8:51
Speaker 2: with their own little government they run. As long as
8:53
Speaker 2: they keep paying the government money, they're fine. And that's
8:56
Speaker 2: how come that happens. But communism and socialism has failed
9:01
Speaker 2: every time and everywhere it's been tried. Yet everybody who
9:05
Speaker 2: sells the game of socialism says they can do it better.
9:09
Speaker 2: Zoron Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists, the dsays selling that game,
9:13
Speaker 2: telling everybody that you could have whatever you want and
9:16
Speaker 2: it could still be fair, because the people who've been
9:18
Speaker 2: in control all this time are thieves and just evil
9:21
Speaker 2: and it's wrong and they don't deserve to be in office.
9:23
Speaker 2: And young kids who've been indoctrinated by their teachers in
9:27
Speaker 2: public schools for several decades now, they believe that that's
9:30
Speaker 2: the case. That it is good you're good hearted and
9:34
Speaker 2: empathetic if you're a Democratic socialist, and if you're a capitalist,
9:38
Speaker 2: you're evil. You shouldn't be in my presence. And hence
9:43
Speaker 2: you have the murder, the alleged murder, i should say,
9:46
Speaker 2: by by a certain person who's currently on trial right now.
9:51
Speaker 2: You have a murder by a young man, and you
9:53
Speaker 2: have young women screaming saying they're in love with him.
9:57
Speaker 2: Are you out of your minds? This is what it's
9:59
Speaker 2: come down in this country. Just insanity. But this is
10:03
Speaker 2: what happens when you have a society that has been
10:07
Speaker 2: indoctrinated into the belief that socialism is good and fair
10:11
Speaker 2: and capitalism is mean. Seven ten WR The Voice of
10:15
Speaker 2: New York. It's kenra'zotto in on a Friday for the
10:18
Speaker 2: Great Marximona enjoying a nice long weekend. We want to
10:21
Speaker 2: hear what you have to say at eight hundred three
10:22
Speaker 2: to two one zero seven ten. Eight hundred three to
10:26
Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten. Father's Day on Sunday? What
10:29
Speaker 2: are you doing for Dad? I'm lucky, very very very lucky.
10:33
Speaker 2: My dad's ninety five and a half years old, and
10:36
Speaker 2: I got both Mom and Dad still with me. I'm
10:38
Speaker 2: fifty nine plus. I'm very lucky to have them both.
10:42
Speaker 2: So I will see Dad on Sunday morning. But what
10:46
Speaker 2: are you doing? You got special plans to give us
10:47
Speaker 2: a call let us know, or some good ideas for
10:50
Speaker 2: Dad rather than the standard barbecue or going out to dinner.
10:53
Speaker 2: What are you doing that's special with Dad? Eight hundred
10:55
Speaker 2: three to two to one zero seven ten. And we
10:58
Speaker 2: have more fraud involving illegal aliens, this time it involves
11:02
Speaker 2: food stamps. Federal prosecutors in Massachusetts have charged eleven illegal
11:06
Speaker 2: aliens with using stolen identities and social Security numbers to
11:11
Speaker 2: fraudulently get one and a half million dollars in benefits
11:14
Speaker 2: your tax dollars and mine. And here is the Assistant
11:17
Speaker 2: Attorney General, Colin MacDonald talking about it alarmingly.
11:21
Speaker 3: Eleven of the fifteen charged defendants are suspected illegal aliens,
11:27
Speaker 3: some of whom assumed stolen identities to steal these taxpayer
11:32
Speaker 3: funded benefits and avoid detection. American citizens were boxed out
11:38
Speaker 3: of these programs because illegal aliens took their names to
11:42
Speaker 3: then take their money.
11:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there were people who genuinely needed those benefits,
11:48
Speaker 2: and when they went to get the benefits, they couldn't
11:50
Speaker 2: because illegal aliens who shouldn't be here were illegally using
11:55
Speaker 2: their names and social Security numbers which they illegally obtained,
11:58
Speaker 2: and they went and collected the benefits that should have
12:01
Speaker 2: gone to people who genuinely needed them. So, on top
12:03
Speaker 2: of all of that, your tax dollars were used to
12:06
Speaker 2: do that. So you work hard, you pay a fortune
12:09
Speaker 2: in taxes, and you have a Democrat administration that allowed
12:14
Speaker 2: these people in and they were just misappropriating funds left
12:17
Speaker 2: and right. That's how much they care about your hard
12:19
Speaker 2: earned tax dollars. That's why you never, ever, ever blindly
12:24
Speaker 2: trust government. Okay, government always claims to be able to
12:28
Speaker 2: do it better. They never do. They can never do
12:31
Speaker 2: anything efficiently, They never do it better. Nothing was ever
12:35
Speaker 2: created by government. It was only wasted by government. Do
12:39
Speaker 2: you know that of every dollar spent in our welfare
12:44
Speaker 2: system in the United States, do you know how much
12:46
Speaker 2: money actually makes it to a welfare recipient, it's between
12:50
Speaker 2: thirty and thirty five cents because of inefficiency, because of
12:54
Speaker 2: union jobs, people collecting the money along the way, so
12:58
Speaker 2: thirty to thirty five cents. Whereas years ago, when you
13:01
Speaker 2: gave money to charity, charity would then distribute it one
13:04
Speaker 2: hundred percent to the individual who needed charity. So there's
13:08
Speaker 2: the difference when you have government versus charity. And then
13:11
Speaker 2: you have the compromise. The NGO the non governmental organizations
13:15
Speaker 2: such as Catholic charities and Lutheran charities and Episcopal services, etc.
13:20
Speaker 2: And for a while they were doing a pretty good job,
13:22
Speaker 2: so they were getting money allocated by the government from taxes,
13:26
Speaker 2: but yet they were still doing things a lot with
13:29
Speaker 2: people who were donating their time. Unfortunately, the NGOs started
13:32
Speaker 2: getting political, and all of them right now are on
13:36
Speaker 2: my suspicious list, to say the least. And it's sad
13:38
Speaker 2: because I used to be one of the people who
13:41
Speaker 2: would volunteer my time for Catholic charities in Brooklyn and
13:44
Speaker 2: Queens and I used to go out there and help
13:46
Speaker 2: them raise millions of dollars. And then, with all due respect,
13:49
Speaker 2: let's just say that I saw some things that may
13:51
Speaker 2: be a little uncomfortable and I no longer had anything
13:53
Speaker 2: to do with them. But that's not to say that
13:56
Speaker 2: you shouldn't donate. I'm not telling you what you should do.
13:58
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying that I don't like NGOs the
14:01
Speaker 2: way they have become today. Not that they weren't set
14:04
Speaker 2: up with great intentions. I just don't like the politics
14:07
Speaker 2: and the way they've had it. Seven ten wor The
14:10
Speaker 2: Voice of New York. This is Ken Risotto Win from
14:12
Speaker 2: Mark on a beautiful Friday, and we're gonna have a nice,
14:16
Speaker 2: nice weekend. Actually, if you like sun and clouds, low
14:19
Speaker 2: humidity and a little breeze, highs in the low eighties.
14:21
Speaker 2: It's gonna be that way today, tomorrow, and Father's Day Sunday.
14:25
Speaker 2: Really nice weekend in store. Coming up later in the broadcast,
14:29
Speaker 2: we'll be speaking with a woman who has developed away
14:32
Speaker 2: get This to turn plants into clothing as efficiently as
14:37
Speaker 2: companies use fossil fuels to make polyester. Only this material
14:41
Speaker 2: will not decompose into microplastics. You know, polyester is made
14:45
Speaker 2: from oil. People don't realize that. And when you throw
14:49
Speaker 2: out a polyester shirt, it ends up in a landfill
14:51
Speaker 2: and turns into microplastics that gets into the water supply
14:54
Speaker 2: you drink that People die with all these microplastics in
14:57
Speaker 2: their bodies. Well, her fabrics are made in entirely from plants,
15:01
Speaker 2: but made as efficiently as polyester. It's fascinating. It is
15:05
Speaker 2: now eleven twenty one. Your calls coming up next at
15:08
Speaker 2: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten, So
15:10
Speaker 2: call us up eight hundred three to two one zero
15:13
Speaker 2: seven ten seven ten. WR will be right back now more.
15:17
Speaker 1: Of the Marsimone Show on seven ten WR. Filling in
15:22
Speaker 1: for Mark here again is Ken Rosatto.
15:25
Speaker 2: For a good morning to you, seven ten wo R.
15:27
Speaker 2: The Voice chev New York. Good Friday to you. Let
15:30
Speaker 2: us go to Pam in New Jersey. Good morning, Pam,
15:34
Speaker 2: Good morning.
15:35
Speaker 7: Your analysis of Mandani's dialect and speech patterns was excellent.
15:40
Speaker 7: I'm into languages and dialects myself, and I couldn't help
15:45
Speaker 7: but think yesterday, he's not talking basketball, he's talking fifty
15:50
Speaker 7: three years of history, and he's talking politics. And he
15:54
Speaker 7: had his presidential.
15:55
Speaker 2: Voice on yes And did you listen? If you're into languages,
15:59
Speaker 2: then maybe you caught what I caught. He was speaking
16:03
Speaker 2: with the New York's accent until he said the word
16:05
Speaker 2: v r y and that's when the Indian came out.
16:08
Speaker 2: Did you hear him say Wherry Werry? Wherey he said that?
16:11
Speaker 2: And then he slipped out, Then he slipped back into
16:13
Speaker 2: New York. Then I realized that this was all fake.
16:16
Speaker 2: This is all an accent. New York Ease is his
16:19
Speaker 2: fake accent. His natural voice is different. He said, listen, however,
16:22
Speaker 2: are you going to speak? Is fine? He masters it though.
16:25
Speaker 2: He's very good with the New York's accent. And it's
16:28
Speaker 2: I guess and to make it feel like he's part
16:30
Speaker 2: of the go ahead. I'm sorry.
16:32
Speaker 7: When he was running his campaign, if you noticed he
16:35
Speaker 7: had like a lateral lisp, like a Wall Street speech pattern.
16:41
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, and it was all like woll Street.
16:44
Speaker 7: And I'm like, you know, to use an older term,
16:47
Speaker 7: I'm a yuppie, I'm the you know, I'm one, you
16:50
Speaker 7: know I'm And then all of a sudden, like you said,
16:53
Speaker 7: he's going into these different dialects. Right, I'll have to
16:56
Speaker 7: listen again for that slip into Indian because it's a
16:59
Speaker 7: little hard to hear over the crowd on the radio.
17:02
Speaker 7: It's a little hard to hear. But I'll listen for that.
17:04
Speaker 7: But yeah, he's he's a master. He's an absolute master.
17:08
Speaker 7: He's one of those impostors. Yes, that changes with the cloud.
17:13
Speaker 2: And that's that's what I'm undrving. Just be who you
17:16
Speaker 2: are and speak listen. New York has a million dialects.
17:20
Speaker 2: We that's what's beautiful about New York. Just be who
17:22
Speaker 2: you are. But you have to be a little suspicious
17:25
Speaker 2: about somebody who's trying to go after a certain crowd.
17:27
Speaker 2: It's like he's trying to tell the business community, I'm
17:30
Speaker 2: with you, guys, I'm a business minded, savvy profession No,
17:34
Speaker 2: you're you're you're a phony.
17:36
Speaker 7: I think that it comes through when you use it
17:38
Speaker 7: to manipulate. Yes, when you use it to manipulate, that's dangerous.
17:42
Speaker 2: I agree with you one hundred percent. Pam, right on it.
17:45
Speaker 2: I appreciate you, my fellow New Jersey person. Have a
17:47
Speaker 2: great day, Pam. Good weekend too. We go to Long
17:49
Speaker 2: Island now the other side of the New York Drives State.
17:51
Speaker 2: Chris and Bethpage.
17:54
Speaker 9: Hey, Cam, I just want to backtrack a little bit.
17:56
Speaker 6: Uh.
17:56
Speaker 4: I'm really sorry because I like Vincent as a call
17:58
Speaker 4: I do, but you know, and so many people are
18:01
Speaker 4: so way out of line on their perception of what's
18:03
Speaker 4: going on.
18:04
Speaker 9: You hit upon it best when you said this, and
18:07
Speaker 9: I believe it too.
18:08
Speaker 6: Trump.
18:09
Speaker 4: We've known the guy for ten years politically now. The
18:11
Speaker 4: guy plays chess. He plays multi level chess. That's what
18:15
Speaker 4: he's doing all the time. He doesn't play checkers. He
18:17
Speaker 4: doesn't go in there. Let's knock him out, Let's get
18:20
Speaker 4: a regime change. He's not at the end of the day.
18:23
Speaker 4: He says all this stuff. And when we always say,
18:25
Speaker 4: the ones that really follow him closely and nobody does,
18:28
Speaker 4: don't follow what he says all the time. Always watch
18:31
Speaker 4: what he does. That's the most important thing. Okay, and
18:35
Speaker 4: think about it. A year ago willids Iran. It was
18:38
Speaker 4: forty seven years of the Moellers and the Ayatola in charge.
18:42
Speaker 4: We still own him for what they did disgracefully to
18:44
Speaker 4: us in nineteen seventy nine, but no president ever would
18:48
Speaker 4: do it. Last year he bombed them, remember originally bombed
18:51
Speaker 4: in Israel. He bombed them initially in June. I think
18:54
Speaker 4: it was last year. Then I got up on March
18:58
Speaker 4: first of this year.
18:59
Speaker 9: I woke up.
19:00
Speaker 8: It was like the Super Bowl.
19:01
Speaker 4: It's like the giants on on Super Bowl.
19:02
Speaker 8: I heard forty of them were killed.
19:04
Speaker 5: Think about that?
19:05
Speaker 6: Who does that?
19:06
Speaker 4: What president in our lifetime had enough knowledge to go
19:10
Speaker 4: in and kill forty of their leaders? Okay, they're down
19:14
Speaker 4: to that third level of leadership. If you ever listen
19:17
Speaker 4: to Kate t mcfalland.
19:18
Speaker 9: She says it best, she goes, don't worry about you know,
19:22
Speaker 9: there's no.
19:22
Speaker 4: Such thing as regime change. It never happens. There's never
19:25
Speaker 4: been a war where we're going for regime change, and
19:28
Speaker 4: you did it successfully.
19:29
Speaker 2: You could even if I met Chris, you could almost
19:31
Speaker 2: look at it this way as we've had regime change
19:33
Speaker 2: because it's on the third level. We've had two regime
19:35
Speaker 2: changes already over there, and they get the idea that
19:39
Speaker 2: if they don't play ball the right way, they're going
19:41
Speaker 2: to be next. But the only thing that I agree
19:43
Speaker 2: with you on a lot of what you said. The
19:45
Speaker 2: only thing that unnerves me, if you will a little bit,
19:47
Speaker 2: is I don't think they mind death over there as
19:49
Speaker 2: much as we do, especially in the leadership. I don't
19:52
Speaker 2: mean the masters of people. I think in the leadership,
19:55
Speaker 2: they think that they are ordained by God to be
19:57
Speaker 2: in a certain position that they have heaven garret garanteed,
20:00
Speaker 2: So go ahead and let me go. That's what's a
20:03
Speaker 2: little scary there.
20:05
Speaker 4: No, totally agree total grew were just saying, I get it,
20:08
Speaker 4: but just think of what he's done to them. You know,
20:12
Speaker 4: they were sponsoring all this terrorism because they had money.
20:16
Speaker 4: He cut off their money. Their economy is in the
20:19
Speaker 4: crapper now. So he what he's trying to do is
20:22
Speaker 4: and he's smart about this, Hey, I'm going to give
20:24
Speaker 4: you this amount of money. And I was like, oh,
20:26
Speaker 4: what do you give him three hundred million? The second
20:28
Speaker 4: he sees that they're not using it for what it's
20:31
Speaker 4: intended to do, and by the way, you are one
20:33
Speaker 4: hundred percent right. He is waiting till November. He's praying
20:37
Speaker 4: to God we can hold the House and the Senate
20:39
Speaker 4: and then trust me, come December, December and we have
20:44
Speaker 4: everything and we allow God help Iran.
20:47
Speaker 2: I'm with you, I think because he knows that what
20:50
Speaker 2: good is it going to be if we lose the
20:52
Speaker 2: House in the Senate and he gets impeached. I don't
20:54
Speaker 2: think he cares about being impeached, but I know that
20:56
Speaker 2: he knows he will not have the authority at that point.
20:58
Speaker 2: So he has to get stuff done now in order
21:00
Speaker 2: to earn the House and Senate. You have to play
21:02
Speaker 2: the game. He knows about numbers that we don't know about,
21:06
Speaker 2: and I guarantee that's where it's going right now. Hey,
21:08
Speaker 2: I agree with you, Chris. Have a wonderful day, good weekend,
21:10
Speaker 2: Happy Father's Day to you. Thank you my friend. All Right,
21:13
Speaker 2: it is now eleven thirty three Ken Rosotto Win from Mark.
21:16
Speaker 2: Coming up in our next half hour, we're going to
21:19
Speaker 2: talk with a woman who has developed a way to
21:21
Speaker 2: turn plants into clothing. You're gonna have to check this out.
21:24
Speaker 2: It is coming up just a few minutes seven to ten.
21:26
Speaker 10: Wr live from the WR Life BAC Studios No Mark
21:32
Speaker 10: Zimone show guest hosting from Mark Today, Ken Rosatto, It's
21:37
Speaker 10: so good to be.
21:38
Speaker 2: With you on a beautiful Friday. It's going to be
21:40
Speaker 2: this way all weekend long seven to ten. Woar the
21:44
Speaker 2: voice of New York.
21:45
Speaker 6: Hey.
21:45
Speaker 2: There is a really smart, super innovative company that uses
21:49
Speaker 2: plant based manufacturing methods to reduce waste before products are
21:54
Speaker 2: even made. It's called Simply Fiber, and a woman named
21:57
Speaker 2: Maria inscher Oraang is the co founder. She's nice to
22:00
Speaker 2: have to be on with us this morning. Good morning to.
22:02
Speaker 5: Maria, Good morning, Ken, how are you great?
22:05
Speaker 2: Thank you And for those who don't realize, Maria was
22:08
Speaker 2: on my show I do on the New Jersey TV
22:10
Speaker 2: channel on New Jersey this week and Maria saw my
22:13
Speaker 2: face every time she told me another thing about this company.
22:16
Speaker 2: My job was a gape and I said, this is brilliant.
22:19
Speaker 2: So I thank you for coming on the radio with
22:21
Speaker 2: us now in WLA. First of all, tell everybody about
22:24
Speaker 2: Simply Fiber and what made you start the company?
22:27
Speaker 5: Thanks so much, Ken Well. I started the company because
22:30
Speaker 5: I've been working in the fashion industry as a designer
22:33
Speaker 5: for twenty four years, and I didn't really think that
22:37
Speaker 5: the production.
22:38
Speaker 9: Method was efficient.
22:39
Speaker 5: There's so much hand labor involved. I think most people
22:42
Speaker 5: don't realize how much hand labor is involved. And the
22:45
Speaker 5: whole industry was moving towards fossil based materials like polyester
22:49
Speaker 5: instead of natural materials. So what I realized is what
22:53
Speaker 5: we need is a better way of using natural materials.
22:56
Speaker 5: It's more efficient, so they can compete and beat the
23:00
Speaker 5: prices of polyester.
23:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, I bet you if you ask one hundred people,
23:03
Speaker 2: the vast majority don't realize that much of their clothing
23:07
Speaker 2: is made from oil, that it's made from fossil fuel.
23:10
Speaker 8: Right.
23:10
Speaker 2: The polyester is spun from one of the byproducts of oil,
23:15
Speaker 2: and that's why that's why many shirts are very flammable.
23:18
Speaker 2: By the way, not that cotton isn't flammable, but it
23:20
Speaker 2: goes polyester and it melts. But that stuff, as you
23:24
Speaker 2: were telling me this week, doesn't that break down to
23:26
Speaker 2: microplastics and landfills?
23:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, it does.
23:30
Speaker 5: Every time you wash your clothes, every time you move
23:33
Speaker 5: around in polyester, it releases microplastics.
23:37
Speaker 9: So that just gets everywhere.
23:38
Speaker 5: It's in our waters, it's in our bodies and textiles especially,
23:42
Speaker 5: are a good way to kind of lose microplastics as
23:46
Speaker 5: you wear them.
23:47
Speaker 2: Now, wow, Now you were saying that manufacturing clothing using
23:52
Speaker 2: polyester is done in a certain way that's rather efficient,
23:56
Speaker 2: and the problem was when you use traditional cotton or whatever,
23:59
Speaker 2: you have to first spin it into a fabric, then
24:01
Speaker 2: take the fabric and manually turn it into the clothing,
24:04
Speaker 2: et cetera. That it was kind of painstakingly laborious, whereas
24:08
Speaker 2: it was a little more efficient with polyester. But you're
24:11
Speaker 2: now able to take simply fiber, which is manufactured from
24:14
Speaker 2: anything that grows right, any kind of plant, and you
24:16
Speaker 2: could turn it into a fabric as efficiently as one
24:19
Speaker 2: could do that with polyester.
24:21
Speaker 5: Yeah, in fact, actually more efficially because even with polyester
24:25
Speaker 5: you're still stuck with the same supply chain where you're
24:28
Speaker 5: spinning yarn, weaving your knitting, fabric, cutting and then sewing.
24:33
Speaker 5: What we do is we actually use the materials more
24:38
Speaker 5: like molded plastic, So it's kind of a combination of
24:42
Speaker 5: paper making and injection molding where you can actually create
24:45
Speaker 5: the shape at the same time as the materials, so
24:50
Speaker 5: it's never a roll of fabric. You just go straight
24:53
Speaker 5: from fibers into shape in one step. It's more like
24:57
Speaker 5: three D printing than it is traditional fabric and textile making.
25:02
Speaker 2: That's amazing. And it does it still breathe? And is
25:04
Speaker 2: it still washable?
25:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's still washable. It breathes kind of the same
25:10
Speaker 5: way as other types of natural materials, you know, I
25:15
Speaker 5: think you can compare it to something between a cotton
25:18
Speaker 5: and a leather in terms of air careermutability. But we
25:22
Speaker 5: can also perforate and do all kinds of things as
25:25
Speaker 5: materials to make it breathe more too.
25:27
Speaker 2: Well, that makes a lot of sense. That's brilliant. And
25:29
Speaker 2: is it how about cost effectiveness? Is it expensive? More expensive?
25:32
Speaker 2: Less expensive?
25:34
Speaker 5: It's less expensive because you're actually starting with the basic
25:38
Speaker 5: building blocks that's fibers, and that's always the cheapest part
25:42
Speaker 5: of the supply chain, and then with all the other
25:46
Speaker 5: usual steps, everything just gets more expensive. But we're only
25:49
Speaker 5: making things in one step, so it stays relatively cost effective.
25:53
Speaker 2: That's just it's like, this is a total when when
25:56
Speaker 2: I am desperately trying to find a negative, you're and
25:59
Speaker 2: I can't have aut color, Like you could inject color
26:02
Speaker 2: into this and make it any color you want.
26:05
Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, absolutely, And we even have different kind of
26:07
Speaker 5: flavors of color, so it can be really bright, saturated color,
26:12
Speaker 5: but it can also be heathered effects where you have
26:15
Speaker 5: a little bit like salt and pepper colors, and you
26:18
Speaker 5: can mix fibers together. You can even kind of change
26:21
Speaker 5: colors within the same piece, so you can do some
26:23
Speaker 5: new tricks that weren't possible before.
26:26
Speaker 9: With other texts of textiles.
26:28
Speaker 2: Seven to ten wo R the Voice of New York.
26:31
Speaker 2: It's Ken Rosotto in on the Mark Simone Show on
26:33
Speaker 2: a Friday, speaking with Maria Insha Orang, who is a
26:36
Speaker 2: co founder of Simply Fiber. What has the reception been
26:40
Speaker 2: like in the industry. Are fashion houses looking into this
26:44
Speaker 2: at this point or are they still a little reticent,
26:45
Speaker 2: a little scared to jump a whole whole hog into it.
26:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been great. Actually, we weren't even expecting the
26:55
Speaker 5: attention to come from where it came from. But we're
26:57
Speaker 5: getting a lot of We're getting a lot of requests
27:00
Speaker 5: from the footwear industry for shoe uppers, and we're getting
27:03
Speaker 5: in a lot of requests from the car industry for interiors.
27:07
Speaker 5: So we've recently did dash and door panels for Kia.
27:11
Speaker 5: We also just showed on the Paris Catwalk some shoes
27:15
Speaker 5: for Gani. So everywhere, especially where you need like high performance,
27:22
Speaker 5: durable materials, we're getting a lot of requests because those
27:26
Speaker 5: kinds of materials aren't often it's not always very easy
27:32
Speaker 5: to find natural materials that do those things.
27:34
Speaker 2: And you think about how many companies, even big fashion houses,
27:38
Speaker 2: sadly use practical slave labor in third world countries to
27:43
Speaker 2: do all the laborious stuff, and you're eliminating all that.
27:46
Speaker 2: No longer do you need to have that. By having
27:49
Speaker 2: this basically go from wood pulp potentially or plant matter
27:53
Speaker 2: right through a computer and boom, cut out the exact
27:55
Speaker 2: panels that you need right.
27:58
Speaker 5: Exactly, it's a really good opportunity for restoring some of
28:02
Speaker 5: the manufacturing and getting that more happening closer to where
28:06
Speaker 5: the customers are, so you don't have to have your
28:09
Speaker 5: products crossing the world a few times before they're even
28:12
Speaker 5: reaching the customer. So it's really designed to be less
28:18
Speaker 5: labor intensive and it gives manufacturers more options to be
28:22
Speaker 5: able to make the things that they.
28:24
Speaker 9: Want to make.
28:25
Speaker 2: This is just absolutely brilliant and you could reproduce it
28:28
Speaker 2: over and over and over again, just by putting in
28:30
Speaker 2: the dimensions and the design into a computer and letting it,
28:33
Speaker 2: like you said, like three D printing, just kind of
28:36
Speaker 2: spit out the panel or the shirt or the whatever
28:39
Speaker 2: based on what you input, right, so it just keeps
28:41
Speaker 2: it could work round the clock and just spit out
28:44
Speaker 2: as many items of an order as you'd like. Yeah, yeah,
28:49
Speaker 2: that's how long have you been doing this?
28:51
Speaker 6: Now?
28:53
Speaker 5: About five years?
28:55
Speaker 9: So we did.
28:56
Speaker 5: We kind of did the pre work for about a
28:58
Speaker 5: year before that really literally started in my kitchen and
29:03
Speaker 5: then we started moving into chemistry labs and material scientists teams.
29:09
Speaker 5: Now we're operating from Raleigh, North Carolina, and we've got
29:13
Speaker 5: a full production system which we've just built up this year.
29:16
Speaker 2: Well, you are what make America great, seriously, your brilliance,
29:20
Speaker 2: the intelligence, the concept. And then you risked a lot,
29:24
Speaker 2: I'm sure in getting the company started, because I mean
29:27
Speaker 2: you your great idea to somebody else might might have
29:29
Speaker 2: been initially thought of as that's crazy, that'll never work.
29:32
Speaker 2: You risked it. You risked the money, the time, the reputation.
29:35
Speaker 2: You left your other job and you did this. So
29:38
Speaker 2: we applaud you, and I hope you are a trillionaire
29:41
Speaker 2: many times over for coming up with this great concept.
29:44
Speaker 2: You are fantastic, Maria Insher Orang remember that name, co
29:48
Speaker 2: founder of simply Fiber, and that's Si m P L
29:51
Speaker 2: y f y b er correct.
29:54
Speaker 5: Is actually simplify and then be er. So just switch the.
29:58
Speaker 2: Iron the y oh so, imm I guess my dyslexia
30:01
Speaker 2: kicked in. Apologize there you go, so and look at
30:07
Speaker 2: it out, look at it online. I saw it online
30:09
Speaker 2: the other day. I was just fascinated. The whole concept
30:11
Speaker 2: is brilliant and we're gonna we got to have you
30:13
Speaker 2: back on again and again. You were fantastic, Maria, have
30:16
Speaker 2: a wonderful Yeah. Please you have a wonderful weekend and
30:20
Speaker 2: just much success to you.

Speaker 5: to speak to you anytime you.
30:27
Speaker 2: Bet take care.
30:29
Speaker 8: Wow.
30:29
Speaker 2: It just fascinated. I mean that there is the example
30:32
Speaker 2: right there. I was talking about this earlier. That's the
30:35
Speaker 2: example of how capitalism works. She worked, she worked for
30:39
Speaker 2: other people, came up with her own concept. Build a
30:41
Speaker 2: better birdhouse, if you will, in this case, build a
30:44
Speaker 2: better widget, create fabric something you think it's okay. This
30:48
Speaker 2: has been done for hundreds, if not thousands of years.
30:51
Speaker 2: How can you create a new way of making fabric?
30:53
Speaker 2: She came up with it, boom and now she's doing great.
30:56
Speaker 2: The company is simply fiber Maria Inchuer Oh rang believable.
31:00
Speaker 2: Ken Rosotto went from Mark on your Friday. When we

Speaker 8: for years. They really really lean on it, and it's
33:53
Speaker 8: too easy to get in there and take money. And
