  Speaker 1: New York City TV news anchor Ken Rosatta reporting for
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Duty Today. You probably best remembered me from the twenty
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: years I spent doing the morning show over Channel seven,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and I've worked even a Channel five some people. Some
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: people still stop me on the street and say, weren't
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you on Good Day? Yeah, about one hundred years ago.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I was before they had TV. It was like two
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: tin cans in a string. That's what I was on
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Good Day, but it was I did do that for
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: about a year, and these days I have the privilege
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: of hosting a daily show on a New Jersey based
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: news channel. It's called on New Jersey. They were the
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: ones that brought you the first New Jersey governor debate
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of the season, and we do a lot of news
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: breaking there. It's a New Jersey wide channel. I think
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: it's you only TV channel. It's on the entire state.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: You can also stream it live from anywhere in the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: country and rerun it. Also the morning show that I
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: do at o NNJ dot com. Do so after you've
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: listened to everything here at WR so it's O n
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: NJ dot com. I also run a food website for
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: all you foodies. It's called the food Dude. It has
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: links to thousands of recipes from all over the world.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: It's free and you could find it at Thefooddude dot us.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Make sure the word is there, Thefooddude dot us. It's
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: so good to be here. There is a lot to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: talk about today. Phone lines are open. Give us a call,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: take part in the conversation. One eight hundred three two
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. Today we're going to hit the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: mayoral debate. Of course for those of you who are
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: political junkies like myself that you couldn't wait for this day,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: this is a big one. So the mayoral debate, Mom
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Donnie versus Cuomo versus Curtis. We'll see what happens tonight.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: It's from seven to nine on Channel four. The Trump
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Gateway Tunnel project looks like Trump is playing hardball Chuck Schilma.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Chuck thought he had the last laugh shutting down the government,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: but only like two percent of the government is shutdown.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Nobody even notices it's shut down. The military is getting
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: paid by Altar, and it means which is pissing off
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the Democrats in a big way. They want they want
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the military not to get paid so that people will
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: get upset. But Trump always has a Plan B. I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: think the Democrats won't figure this out for one hundred
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and fifty years. Trump has a Plan B, a Plan C,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a Plan F, a Plan L. So you come at
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: him with something, he will come back at you with
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: ten times that Democrats, So just learn, get over it,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: spend the next three and a half years with a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: bottle of tums, and accept it. All right. It is
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: the reality. So Trump's response to Chuck Schuma and his
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: insistence on keeping the government shut down by telling his
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: fellow Democrat senators not to vote for the Continuing Resolution
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: in the Senate is to cancel the Gateway Tunnel project,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: which is Chucky's twenty year He worked on his plan
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: for twenty years to have something that he could hang
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: his hat on. Now that's not to say we don't
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: need it. We do need the Gateway Tunnel project, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Trump will get that money to us. But
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: right now we're saying, hey, Chucky boy, if you want
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: this Gateway Tunnel project, you better play some ball. Otherwise
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I'm canceling the money. Here's why Trump can do it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: The money that was allocated for the Gateway Tunnel project
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: is not allocated by Congress. It was a grant that
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: was signed off on by President Biden. Well, because the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: government is shut down and all the outgoing money is
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: in essence effectively locked, President Trump could say, nope, we're
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: not going to continue that grant, stop it no more.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: We don't have a government functioning. And as the chief
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of the Executive Branch, he has that authority. So Chucky boy, checkmate,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: see what you're gonna do next. The New Jersey governor's
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: race is big. We're going to be talking about that.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: In fact, we are going to have a person I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: believe is the dean of New Jersey politics, Micah Rasmussen,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: who heads the Rebevich Institute at Writer University for politics.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: He knows more about New Jersey politics than anybody. He
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: used to be Jim mcgree communications guy, and so he's
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: going to be on talking about the race. Big, big
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: stuff happening over there between Chitarelly and Mikey Cheryl. We
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: had Chitarelli on my show the other day in New Jersey,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and in fact, he broke the news on my show
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: that that was when he was going to officially launch
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the complaint, the lawsuit against Mikey Cheryl. So that happened
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: on my show on Tuesday, and so I know you
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: probably heard him on Larry Minty about an hour ago
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: talking about it. So we're going to talk with Mike
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Rasmussen about that. Did you know that AI knows and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: by AI meean artificial intelligence, not some guy named al Influenza.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: AI knows if your phone battery is low, and it
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: can impact how much you pay for stuff based on that.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about, ken, Okay, let's just say
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it's two o'clock in the morning, you need a ride
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: share to get home, your phone has three percent battery
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: power left. Artificial intelligence can forward that information to the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: app for your ride share and say, hey, this dude
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: is desperate. You get it. So now you'll be quoted
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the highest price instead of a competitive price. So that's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the way it works. So we're going to talk about that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: It's really deceptive. I think it's unfair. Of course, who
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't think it's unfair, But that's business. We're going to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: talk about it. Tish James and her big grand niece,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Big Tish and her big grand niece Big Trouble. Potentially,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about that, the grand new niece finally responding
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to all the allegations about her being a fugitive from
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: North Carolina and living in Anti Tish's home, that Anti
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Tish says it's her primary residence in Virginia, and we
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: know it's not, because you can't be the Attorney General
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of New York if you're a primary residence is in Virginia.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And then we're going to talk about, Oh, there's a
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: few actually a few other surprises I'm not even gonna
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: mention yet. So let's get to the big stuff. Tonight
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: is the night it is the big debate for Mayor
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of New York City. Curtis Sliwa, Andrew Cuomo and Zoron
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Mamdani will make the debate stage. It's seven to nine
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: pm on Channel four. And what are they going to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: be talking about. Well, you know, mom, Donni is going
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to be going after Cuomo Andrew.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: You had your chance to lead this state. You took
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that time to sell out working class New Yorkers to
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: your billionaire donors and instead of actually meeting the needs
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: of people, who couldn't afford to live in the city.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: You gave nine hundred and fifty nine million dollars in
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: tax breaks to Elon Musk and now you want us
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: to believe that we can't spend less money than that
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: to make every bus fast and free in the same city.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: And what does Culomo have to say?
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Mister Mandami's plan for Rikers Island is either incoherent and
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: incompetent or diabolically manipulated.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Now, now the question is, and of course we have Curtis.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I don't have a piece of sound for Curtis right now,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: but we love Curtis and we keep our fingers crossed
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: for him. The question is, looking at the polls, if
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you add up the support for Curtis and the support
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: for Andrew Cuomo, the two could If you take the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: two and combine them, they could potentially beat Mamdani. Right,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: So what's in your mind? Well, Curtis should bow ow.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Curtis should bow ow because Andrew Cuomo has higher numbers.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: But honestly, the person who has more legitimacy up there
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: is Curtis. Because Curtis is endorsed by one of the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: major parties in New York the Republican Party. He won
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that primary fair and square, and he has a right
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to run. So every time you're ready to condemn him,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: say and say drop out, Curtis, Come on, is that
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: really fair to him? But you could look at it
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: as if Curtis stays in and Mamdanni wins. I think
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of people may look back and say, it's
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: your fault, Curtis, that we got Mamdani. Well, no, it's
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: not his fault. The fault is the education system in
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: New York City that has brainwashed young people for generations
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: now to believe in the system of victim and victimizer.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: And then you have a socialist like this, a democrat socialist.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Let's just face it, he's a communist. He keeps insisting
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: he is a democrat. So but you know, if it
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: walks like a duck and talks like a duck, chances
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: are quack quack, it's a duck. You can call yourself
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a ham, sandwich zoron all that you'd like, but you
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: espouse all the beliefs of communism. So call yourself a
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: democratic socialist. Okay, if that's what we're calling communism today,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you're still a communist. Just branded as a democratic socialist.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: The reality is you are what you are and it
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: is still going to destroy our economy. And if you
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: saw Mom Donnie yesterday, he was on Fox News Channel
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: with Martha McCallum. Martha did an enormous job. She's a
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: phenomenal journalist and Zoron I give him credit for going
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to the belly of the beast right Fox News Channel.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Most Democrats won't set foot in there. And of course
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: he went in with his big fake smile, his coach smile,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and his coached answers, and Martha pushed him and asked
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: over and over again. She asked him, number one, do
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: you congratulate President Trump on his successes in the Middle East?
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: And of course he wouldn't give a direct dam answer,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and ultimately he did say that he said, it's too
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: early to give him any kind of congratulations. Well, let's
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: listen to what Mum Donnie said.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: And when it comes to the ceasefire, I am thankful
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and I have hope that it will actually endure and
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: that it will be lasting. And I continue to have
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: concerns because I've seen reports still just this in the
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: last few days, that five Palestinians were killed by the
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Israeli military. And that's what gives me pause about issuing
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: any kind of praise or celebration at a moment when
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: it is still so in its infancy.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And here's where he is a communist and deceptive, and
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: here's where he's very careful to parse his words. Mister
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: mum Donnie talks about the five Palestinians who died, he
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't tell you how they were killed. The five Palestinians
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: were part of a mob that ran up on Israeli
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: soldiers at a time when according to the peace plan
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: that Hamas signed that the Hamas folks are supposed to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: be disarmed as of Monday. It was supposed to disarm,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: but no, they still have weapons. And the Israeli soldiers
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: are now going in to move forward with the next phase.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: But how do you move forward with the next phase
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: when a bunch of people with weapons come running up
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: on you. So, if you're an Israeli soldier and you
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: know that thousands of your countrymen have just gotten murdered
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: in the last two years, and you see a bunch
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of people who were supposed to disarm, who have not
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: yet disarmed, running up on you, what are you supposed
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to do. The Israeli soldiers told those Palestinians stop, they
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: did not stop. They continued running, so they got shot. Now,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I don't want anyone to die. I don't want anyone
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to get shot. But this is the reality. You know,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Hamas it was not choked to sign this. They signed
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: a piece plan. They agreed to disarm. They did not.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: So what are Israeli soldiers supposed to do? All right?
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: So now Mamdani carefully mentions the shooting of those Palestinian
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: folks and they were apparently Hamas members who ran up
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: on the Israeli soldiers, or how do you know what
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: they are honestly, But he fails to mention that Hamas
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: lined up up to thirty five fellow Palestinians and got
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: them blindfolded and on their knees and summarily executed each
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: one with bullets to the back of the head. Why
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: because somebody in Hamas thought they might have leaked to
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Israel or sided with Israel. In other words, they weren't
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: vociferously enough in support of Hamas' beliefs. So Hamas lined
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: up thirty five Palestinians and shot them at the back
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: of the head. Hey, mister Mamdani, where was your criticism? There?
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: No criticism, total silence. So when Israelis defend themselves, Mamdani
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: is quick to criticize. When Palestinians murder Palestinians and they
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: stream it live, these people's heads getting blown off, streamed
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: live on the internet, there is radio silence from Mamdani.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Think about that when you go into a polling place
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and you go to make your vote, it's awful. Going
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: back for a moment to the Gateway Tunnel project, President
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Trump made this comment when he discussed it yesterday. We're
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: terminating those programs and they're going to be terminated on
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a permanent basis. And it's thousands of people, and it's
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you know, billions of dollars. Yeah, And by thousands of people,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: he means thousands of jobs are going to be impacted
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: that New York and New Jersey government had hoped for.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: And Governor Kathy Hockel, miss Hochels in effect of herself, had.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: This to say, this is not sticking it to New York.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: This is the Northeastern corridor to make sure that our
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: tunnels are safe. They're damaged by Superstorm Sandy, they're over
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: one hundred years old. We need to replace them because
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: if this system of transportation collapses, the Northeastern economy and
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: the economy the country collapsed. So why be so shortsighted?
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hockel is the definition of why you should spend
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: more money and not less when you get porcelain veneers.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, that's why she talks like that. I'm
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: just guessing. I don't know, I know, I mean, Can
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: that's mean, don't do that, don't poke fun. My mother
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: right now is probably listening. She listens to wr like
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I do every day. Can that's mean? All right, Governor,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make fun of your
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: big porcelain veneers. Ten eighteen right now, seven to ten,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: wor and over in New Jersey, the polls are definitely
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: tightening in the race for governor. On Tuesday, as I mentioned,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I had Jack Chittarelli on my show in on New Jersey.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: That's the name of the channel that I'm on and
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I do the morning show there and the governor elect.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Oh did I say that? No? No, I'm sorry, I
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: meant to say. Jack Chittarelli made the announcement that he
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: was about to launch his lawsuit that day against Mikey
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Cheryl because if you watch the debate that was on
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Channel seven, Mikey Cheryl turned to Jack Chittarelli calling him
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: a murderer. Now, for those who aren't following, or they
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: don't they heard something about you, You don't know why.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: This is what this is about. Chittarelly used to own
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a company called Galen Publishing. It was a medical publishing company.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: The University of Tennessee, their medical school, approached Galen and
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: wanted to publish a study on opioids. This is years
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: and years ago Chittarelli's company Galen, and he was the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: head of the company. There were probably hundreds of people
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: under him who did this deal. They published the book.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: That's what they do, their book publishers for the medical industry.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: And I should say Jack Chitarelli no longer owns this company,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: has nothing to do with it. So they published a
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: study by the University of Tennessee on opioids, and basically
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: the study said that if you are not currently addicted
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to stuff, that there is a relatively low chance that
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: you will become addicted to opioids. Well, we've now found
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: out later that no, opioids are extremely addictive. At the time,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: they may or may not have known that. Either way,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Mikey Cheryl is trying to blame him for the deaths
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: of tens of thousands of New Jersey people who got
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: addicted to opioids. Well, you know what, the tens of
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: thousands of New Jersey people who died of opioid overdose
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: did not. Most of them did not die from prescription opioids.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: They died from fentanyl. You moron. Sorry did I say
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that doctor? Thankfully that didn't go out on the air.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Let me say that again. They died from fentanyl, ma'am.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: They did not die from opioid overdose like from a
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: prescription from their doc. Now, some do, of course, but
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: most don't. The vast majority of people die from fentanyl,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: which is why Chitorelli turned to Cheryl and said, no,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: you were the one and your party allowed people to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: come in illegally and bring fentanyl into this country, which
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: was the appropriate response. Well, Mikey Cheryl is doubling down.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: She now apparently is putting together a website calling Jack
