- 0:00Speaker 1: Now the Mark Simone Show on seven tenor filling in
- 0:05Speaker 1: for Mark, here's Ken Rosatto, so nice to be with you.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Happy Friday, ah Man, a beautiful day. It's going to
- 0:13Speaker 1: be beautiful all weekend, sunshine to humid highs in the
- 0:17Speaker 1: mid eighties. Could you beg for a better summer weekend?
- 0:20Speaker 1: And of course it's the end of July today, the
- 0:22Speaker 1: last day of July. Actually, today's the last day of
- 0:24Speaker 1: a lot of things. I found out about Mark Simone
- 0:29Speaker 1: just when you did. And by the way, in case
- 0:31Speaker 1: anybody hasn't heard, let me ask, is he our engineer?
- 0:34Speaker 1: Is he? Did you know that starting Monday, Mark Simone
- 0:37Speaker 1: is going to be on from nine to noon for
- 0:38Speaker 1: three hours. Were you aware of that? He says, no,
- 0:41Speaker 1: he didn't hear about it before. This is the first
- 0:43Speaker 1: he's hearing of it. So if you are just hearing
- 0:45Speaker 1: of it, then yes, I'm letting you know. Our dear friend,
- 0:49Speaker 1: Mark Simone, my favorite talk show host on the planet.
- 0:51Speaker 1: I listen every single day from the home in New Jersey,
- 0:56Speaker 1: will be on nine to noon three hours starting on Monday,
- 1:01Speaker 1: not not just two hours. And from what I understand,
- 1:04Speaker 1: that third hour will be at no additional charge to you.
- 1:08Speaker 1: So for whatever you're spending for the two hours of
- 1:10Speaker 1: Mark simone, you get a bonus third hour and it's
- 1:13Speaker 1: absolutely free courtesy of iHeartRadio. So there you go. I
- 1:17Speaker 1: will be listening. I love I love listening to Mark
- 1:20Speaker 1: every day, and I'm sure you do too. That's why
- 1:22Speaker 1: you're here. My name is Ken Rosatto. I was a
- 1:24Speaker 1: TV news anchor in New York City for decades. I
- 1:27Speaker 1: was on Channel seven for twenty years mornings and noon,
- 1:30Speaker 1: and I was on Channel five on Good Day New York.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Before that, I was on Channel fifty five. These days,
- 1:36Speaker 1: I'm on a channel called on New Jersey based in
- 1:40Speaker 1: New Jersey. You could stream it anywhere at ONNJ dot com,
- 1:43Speaker 1: so check it out sometime. We have a lot to
- 1:45Speaker 1: talk about today. The phone lines are open. Love to
- 1:48Speaker 1: hear you, so call us at eight hundred three two
- 1:52Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. Eight hundred three two one zero
- 1:57Speaker 1: seven ten. Well. Democrats upset at Elon Musk once again. Shocker.
- 2:03Speaker 1: They wouldn't be upset with him if he threw money
- 2:06Speaker 1: their way, but they're upset with him because he works
- 2:09Speaker 1: with the Republicans, although he still doesn't consider himself a
- 2:12Speaker 1: Republican or a Conservative. The world's wealthiest man announced that
- 2:17Speaker 1: he is going to one up the Democrats when it
- 2:21Speaker 1: comes to a ground game for the fall elections. Now,
- 2:24Speaker 1: the Democrats have always been masterful at getting younger people
- 2:28Speaker 1: and older people to volunteer, going house to house, knocking
- 2:33Speaker 1: on doors and talking face to face, pressing flesh, as
- 2:37Speaker 1: we like to call it, right, pressing flesh with people
- 2:39Speaker 1: shaking their hands. There's just something about meeting somebody face
- 2:44Speaker 1: to face, having an intimate conversation as opposed to putting
- 2:48Speaker 1: out a commercial commercial's work. They get the idea in
- 2:50Speaker 1: people's heads it's more for name recognition, but when it
- 2:54Speaker 1: comes to winning somebody over to actually do something as
- 2:58Speaker 1: personal as voting for you, anyone who is an elected
- 3:02Speaker 1: politician will tell you at least the first victory came
- 3:06Speaker 1: at the expense of going door to door, gumshoe knocking
- 3:11Speaker 1: on the doors, pressing flesh and talking to people. That
- 3:14Speaker 1: is essential. So Democrats are very big on that. Republicans
- 3:18Speaker 1: over the years have gotten kind of weak at it
- 3:20Speaker 1: until Trump. Since President Trump, that's when the Republicans started
- 3:25Speaker 1: coming out a little bit more. President Trump was big
- 3:28Speaker 1: on going into areas that Republicans stayed away from. Republicans
- 3:33Speaker 1: would often say, I'll never win the African American vote,
- 3:37Speaker 1: or I'll never win the Jewish vote, or I'll never
- 3:39Speaker 1: win whatever name the vote. And President Trump said, what
- 3:43Speaker 1: do we have to lose? Just go in and if
- 3:45Speaker 1: they bought me whatever they bought me, who cares. He's
- 3:48Speaker 1: got thick skin, obviously, I know Democrats think he's very
- 3:51Speaker 1: thin skinned. He is not. He is actually very thick skinned,
- 3:55Speaker 1: and that is essential for elections to winning elections. So
- 4:01Speaker 1: back to the topic. Elon Musk said that he is
- 4:04Speaker 1: now going to spend a fortune his words, and remember
- 4:08Speaker 1: he's the wealthiest man on the planet. How many hundreds
- 4:10Speaker 1: of billions is he? Do? You know? Was he two
- 4:12Speaker 1: hundred billion, two hundred three undred million and something like that?
- 4:15Speaker 1: It's like right, like, oh a trillion, right something like
- 4:19Speaker 1: It's beyond the money that you could count if you
- 4:22Speaker 1: started counting now, you couldn't finish at the time of
- 4:25Speaker 1: your death. That's how much money Elon has. He loses
- 4:30Speaker 1: and wins more money per day in the markets than
- 4:34Speaker 1: you or I and half the city you live in
- 4:37Speaker 1: can see in a lifetime. That's how much money he has,
- 4:39Speaker 1: so it's almost a nebulous thing. It's a concept because
- 4:43Speaker 1: he'll never see that money. And if he wanted to
- 4:45Speaker 1: have it all in one hundred dollars bills right now,
- 4:47Speaker 1: they couldn't print enough. It's all electronic. But Elon says
- 4:51Speaker 1: he will spend a fortune to boost Republican voter turnout,
- 4:56Speaker 1: and he's going to use his super pack America pack
- 4:59Speaker 1: which used during the last Trump run, and that pack
- 5:04Speaker 1: spent over a quarter of a billion in fact for
- 5:07Speaker 1: Trump's reelection I think two hundred and sixty million to
- 5:09Speaker 1: be exact. So the plan is to spend money on
- 5:12Speaker 1: getting people to door knock, also on digital advertising, so
- 5:16Speaker 1: digital being of course, you know online with the social media,
- 5:21Speaker 1: and then direct mail aimed at turning out the conservative base,
- 5:25Speaker 1: say an older base, and then also the super young
- 5:28Speaker 1: that may not think that they're conservatives, but they'd be
- 5:32Speaker 1: surprised if they understood what conservatism was about. I think
- 5:35Speaker 1: younger people think conservative and they think, oh, you're like religious,
- 5:40Speaker 1: busy bodies who tell us how to live our lives.
- 5:42Speaker 1: True conservatism is just the opposite, not that it's antireligion.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Most conservatives tend to be more religious or spiritual anyway.
- 5:50Speaker 1: But conservatism is about getting government out of my business.
- 5:55Speaker 1: If you want to be a transgender, three breasted person
- 6:00Speaker 1: with two nose rings in five eyes, honestly, go live
- 6:04Speaker 1: your life. Just don't impose it on anybody else. Weich
- 6:06Speaker 1: don't to hear about anything. Whether it's you're a heterosexual
- 6:10Speaker 1: white person or it's transgender, green person, we don't care.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Just do your thing. That's what concern true conservatism, libertarian
- 6:20Speaker 1: leaning conservatism is about just don't go after kids and
- 6:26Speaker 1: don't do anything weird in society. Just go live your
- 6:28Speaker 1: life and we don't care. Enjoy yourself. That's conservatism, all right,
- 6:33Speaker 1: So elon. It wants those voters who are typically less
- 6:38Speaker 1: inclined to cast ballots in a non presidential election year
- 6:42Speaker 1: to come out. And that is the goal here because
- 6:45Speaker 1: you have a lot of people in polls who say
- 6:47Speaker 1: that yes they support Trump, but remember Trump's not on
- 6:50Speaker 1: the ballot, so you need to get these people out.
- 6:54Speaker 1: I've talked to one thousand people. Yeah, I don't vote
- 6:56Speaker 1: in those off he is, Yeah, I don't vote for
- 6:59Speaker 1: the Democrat Republicans when it comes to like the Senate,
- 7:02Speaker 1: the Congress, the mayor, I don't care, I just vote
- 7:05Speaker 1: for president. You're an idiot. Yeah, I said it. You're
- 7:08Speaker 1: an idiot because if you think just the figurehead of
- 7:12Speaker 1: president is all that matters, then you don't understand our system.
- 7:17Speaker 1: It is part of the system. Do not cast away
- 7:21Speaker 1: your vote for members of the House, members of the Senate, governors, mayors.
- 7:27Speaker 1: It's all part of the system. And you do not
- 7:30Speaker 1: get your point of view across by just voting for
- 7:33Speaker 1: the figurehead President Trump. Without a House and a Senate
- 7:38Speaker 1: will just be an impeached President Trump. Once again, we
- 7:41Speaker 1: don't want that. If you want the agenda to move forward,
- 7:45Speaker 1: if you like the idea of controlling immigration so that
- 7:49Speaker 1: legal immigration occurs and illegal immigration ceases, you need to
- 7:53Speaker 1: make sure that you have a Congress that is controlled
- 7:56Speaker 1: by Republicans, a Senate that is controlled by Republics, and
- 8:00Speaker 1: then they will in turn approve US Supreme Court justices
- 8:06Speaker 1: that the President selects, and you know they're going to
- 8:08Speaker 1: be at least one or two in the next couple
- 8:11Speaker 1: of years. But if President Trump doesn't have the Senate,
- 8:13Speaker 1: he's not going to get his justices through. They could
- 8:16Speaker 1: do what was threatened several years ago and just wait
- 8:19Speaker 1: until the Democratic president comes in and then just let
- 8:22Speaker 1: that person appoint somebody to the Supreme Court. So we
- 8:26Speaker 1: want a unified party, if you will. The idea of
- 8:29Speaker 1: the other thing that always bothered me. I don't know
- 8:31Speaker 1: about you. Always bothered me when I used to hear
- 8:33Speaker 1: people say, well, I like to split my vote. I
- 8:36Speaker 1: like to vote Republican for president and Democrat for everything.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Out doesn't work. Stop being wishy washy. Vote for people
- 8:44Speaker 1: who stand for what you stand for. If you're not
- 8:47Speaker 1: sure what they stand for, research them, read about them,
- 8:51Speaker 1: look it up. Don't you just say nebulously the Democrats
- 8:55Speaker 1: that for the working people. Yeah, that was nineteen twenty three.
- 8:59Speaker 1: That's not the case today. Democrats today, by their own
- 9:03Speaker 1: self acclamation and proclamation, are socialists. No, Ken, that's not true. Okay.
- 9:09Speaker 1: The eleven people you might find in the New York
- 9:11Speaker 1: tri state who call themselves Democrats who aren't socialists. That's
- 9:14Speaker 1: eleven people. The Democrat Party has been hijacked by the
- 9:18Speaker 1: Democratic Socialists, the DSA, and that is where the agenda
- 9:22Speaker 1: will be set. It is not going to be set
- 9:24Speaker 1: with yes, we're the hard working middle class. Those are
- 9:27Speaker 1: Republicans today. But I can't vote Republican. Ken. My old
- 9:31Speaker 1: man and my grandpa, my great grandpa, they were Democrats.
- 9:34Speaker 1: They came over from Ireland or Italy or whatever. They
- 9:37Speaker 1: were always Democrats. We can't vote for Republicans us against
- 9:40Speaker 1: our Well, then you're going to vote for you six
- 9:44Speaker 1: legged transgender whatever, and that's fine, that's what you want.
- 9:49Speaker 1: But just remember that it's because of your stubbornness and
- 9:53Speaker 1: your lack of ability to do a little reading and
- 9:56Speaker 1: research that that will be the case. And if that's
- 9:59Speaker 1: the case, then I know then I'm okay with you
- 10:01Speaker 1: staying home and not voting. Eight hundred three to two
- 10:03Speaker 1: one zero seven ten, eight hundred three to two one
- 10:06Speaker 1: zero seven ten. Ken Rozotto win from Mark Simone on
- 10:10Speaker 1: an historic Day. Why is this day historic and not Monday? Well,
- 10:13Speaker 1: Monday is historic because that is the day that the
- 10:16Speaker 1: great Mark Simone, who anybody in the business will tell
- 10:20Speaker 1: you is the best talk show host who breathes air. Now,
- 10:26Speaker 1: I'm waiting for someone to call me and debate me
- 10:28Speaker 1: on that. I could give you one hundred reasons why
- 10:30Speaker 1: he is the best. And I'm not saying it just
- 10:32Speaker 1: because I'm sitting in on the Mark Simone show. I
- 10:34Speaker 1: would say it to any program director at any radio
- 10:37Speaker 1: station in America. Everybody knows he is the best. He
- 10:41Speaker 1: will now be three hours a day starting Monday on
- 10:45Speaker 1: seven ten wor, so his show will be on from
- 10:48Speaker 1: nine am to noon. The Great Mark Simone. We get
- 10:51Speaker 1: an extra hour, and I am looking forward to it.
- 10:53Speaker 1: But today is historic. I like to pat myself on
- 10:56Speaker 1: the back and say it because I get to host
- 10:58Speaker 1: the last two hour marksimon own show in history. So
- 11:03Speaker 1: I consider that a very big honor. Thank you very much. Mark.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Right now, I was thinking to himself, I would love
- 11:08Speaker 1: to be two hours, and I'd have to work the
- 11:10Speaker 1: extra hour. I know, I know, I know, Sorry Mark
- 11:12Speaker 1: that you have to work an extra hour, but it's
- 11:14Speaker 1: your own fault for being so damn talented that we
- 11:16Speaker 1: all love to listen to you. So suck it up, Buttercup,
- 11:19Speaker 1: we love you, Mark Simona, we want the extra hour.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Tough luck, buddy, seven ten wor the Voice of New
- 11:26Speaker 1: York again. It's Ken Rosotto in And have you been
- 11:29Speaker 1: seeing what's going on in Spain? Spain had to deploy
- 11:34Speaker 1: its military to Seyuta, which is an enclave. Now, what's
- 11:37Speaker 1: an enclave? A lot of European countries when they sort
- 11:41Speaker 1: of delineated their lines and their borders, you had little
- 11:45Speaker 1: clicks of people who lived twenty miles over the border
- 11:48Speaker 1: in this direction and thirty miles over the border in
- 11:50Speaker 1: that direction. And so they created all these little tiny
- 11:54Speaker 1: jets of okay, let the land stick out thirty miles
- 11:58Speaker 1: in that direction to encompass that sit And so that's
- 12:00Speaker 1: why if you look at the borders, there are all
- 12:02Speaker 1: these weird borders. Do you know the border between Italy
- 12:05Speaker 1: and is it France or Austria? Now I'm gonna get confused.
- 12:10Speaker 1: I think it's Austria. There is a town called Ventimilia. Now,
- 12:17Speaker 1: anyone who knows Italian, and I know Vincent is out there,
- 12:19Speaker 1: and Vincent's like cad. I know Italian. Ventimilia translates as
- 12:23Speaker 1: twenty miles. It is called Ventimilia because it used to
- 12:28Speaker 1: be twenty miles from the border. But Ventimilia is now
- 12:32Speaker 1: the border town. Why did that happen? After World War Two?
- 12:36Speaker 1: As punishment for Italy having Mussolini. The punishment was they
- 12:41Speaker 1: lost twenty miles of their border. So the city that
- 12:44Speaker 1: used to be called Ventimilia because it was twenty miles
- 12:48Speaker 1: away from the border with I guess Austria and France.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Now is the border town, but it's called Ventimilia. Little
- 12:55Speaker 1: things like that that fascinate me. Well, there is an
- 12:59Speaker 1: enclave an unclay, meaning it is a standalone chunk of
- 13:03Speaker 1: land that is surrounded entirely by another country, in this
- 13:06Speaker 1: case North Africa, surrounded by Morocco. But this enclave is
- 13:12Speaker 1: the nation of Spain. Seyuta, Ceuta. It is eighty thousand
- 13:18Speaker 1: people strong, or was eighty thousand people strong, and it's
- 13:22Speaker 1: been sitting there surrounded by Morocco for decades and decades,
- 13:26Speaker 1: for centuries. Seyuta yesterday tens or actually they're saying now
- 13:32Speaker 1: three to four thousand. Yesterday was thought it was over
- 13:34Speaker 1: ten thousand. People invaded the country from Morocco. Why because
- 13:39Speaker 1: the Supreme Court in Spain made the comment that if
- 13:42Speaker 1: illegals come streaming across by the sea, that they would
- 13:46Speaker 1: be allowed to stay until they could be figured out
- 13:49Speaker 1: in court, much like the liberal judges in all the
- 13:52Speaker 1: districts of the United States during the Biden administration, the
- 13:55Speaker 1: same woke liberal leftist mentality. Meanwhile, if you snuck into Morocca,
- 14:00Speaker 1: you'd be put in jail. You snuck into other countries,
- 14:03Speaker 1: you'd be thrown in jail. Do you know that if
- 14:05Speaker 1: you sneak into Mexico you could be thrown in jail.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Isn't that funny? But when Mexicans or any I don't
- 14:10Speaker 1: mean to sing a lot Mexicans, when anyone else comes
- 14:13Speaker 1: in from the southern border, northern border, it's okay, it's right,
- 14:16Speaker 1: we'll figure it out. Well, not anymore, not under this president.
- 14:19Speaker 1: And we have a sovereign nation for a reason. You're
- 14:23Speaker 1: welcome to come if you do so legally, go through
- 14:25Speaker 1: the process, and you are welcome here. Break in our
- 14:28Speaker 1: back door, and we say get lost. Seven ten WR
- 14:32Speaker 1: The Voice of New York. What do you have to
- 14:34Speaker 1: say about it? Eight hundred and three to two one
- 14:36Speaker 1: zero seven ten. Well, coming up, we're going to speak
- 14:39Speaker 1: with Mike Kelly, who is a columnist for the Record
- 14:41Speaker 1: and USA Today is on North Jersey dot com. He'll
- 14:44Speaker 1: be talking about Mikey Cheryl's decision, that's the governor of
- 14:48Speaker 1: New Jersey not to share info with the FEDS regarding
- 14:52Speaker 1: the sixty six hundred illegals who registered to vote in
- 14:54Speaker 1: the Garden state and the response from the computer company
- 14:58Speaker 1: that insists it wasn't a computer glitch that resulted in
- 15:02Speaker 1: those illegals registering at the New Jersey MVC, which is
- 15:05Speaker 1: their DMV. So who or what was behind it then?
- 15:09Speaker 1: And why? How did the program simply accidentally allow this
- 15:14Speaker 1: to happen? Hmmm? Or was it not so accidental? Was
- 15:17Speaker 1: it somebody intentionally doing this? Methinks I me smells a rat,
- 15:22Speaker 1: but your calls are coming up next eight hundred three
- 15:25Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten it is ten twenty one
- 15:28Speaker 1: seven ten. Woar Camebra's out to win. We'll be right
- 15:31Speaker 1: back
