Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Now the Mark Simone show on seven ten woor filling
- 0:05Speaker 1: in for Mark, here's Ken Rosatto.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Yeah, is it Friday already? It was like, oh, in fact,
- 0:11Speaker 2: it's Friday towards the end of August. It's insanity to
- 0:15Speaker 2: think that the summer has just flown by what it has.
- 0:19Speaker 2: But nonetheless we will have a good time in the
- 0:23Speaker 2: ensuing weeks here or week and a half or so
- 0:26Speaker 2: before the end of the month. This is Canrozotto. It's
- 0:28Speaker 2: good to be with you for Mark. Mark enjoying a
- 0:31Speaker 2: nice long weekend, and it's nice to be in the seat.
- 0:34Speaker 2: Of course I'm keeping I'm keeping a good Mark. I
- 0:37Speaker 2: put down some blankets on the seat so I don't
- 0:41Speaker 2: infect it, and not that I'm sick or anything, but
- 0:44Speaker 2: just it's the Mark Simone throne. You don't want to Yeah,
- 0:47Speaker 2: you're not worthy of sitting in the seat anyway. It
- 0:49Speaker 2: is a Friday morning. We will take calls here at
- 0:51Speaker 2: seven ten WR the numbers eight hundred three to two
- 0:55Speaker 2: one zero seven ten, eight hundred three two one zero
- 0:59Speaker 2: seven ten. How'd y'all fare with the weather? Yesterday? Ray
- 1:01Speaker 2: Stagic talking about it. It was a big water spout
- 1:06Speaker 2: that moved on to land. You know, when it's in
- 1:08Speaker 2: the water, it's kind of weak. They call it a
- 1:10Speaker 2: water spout, but as the funnel hits land, it becomes
- 1:14Speaker 2: a tornado, and apparently one hit Atlantic Beach on Long
- 1:19Speaker 2: Island yesterday late afternoon. Now I follow this guy on YouTube.
- 1:23Speaker 2: I'm not going to mention his name because I don't
- 1:26Speaker 2: want to take away from our race stagic. But this
- 1:29Speaker 2: guy is in the South and he let's just say
- 1:32Speaker 2: that the word yawl is part of his name. If
- 1:35Speaker 2: you're a weather geek like me, you probably know I'm
- 1:37Speaker 2: who I'm talking about. But this guy was live doing
- 1:41Speaker 2: this coverage, and he has this network of fellow he
- 1:45Speaker 2: calls him like weather geeks, people who are self proclaimed
- 1:48Speaker 2: meteorologists all over the country. And they were bringing up
- 1:51Speaker 2: video from anywhere that there was a tornado warning and
- 1:56Speaker 2: I had it on in the background, being a weather
- 1:57Speaker 2: geek myself. And sure enough, they were showing Atlantic Beach
- 2:02Speaker 2: as this was happening, and they said, I think this
- 2:04Speaker 2: is a water spout just starting to form. They had
- 2:06Speaker 2: it live as it was forming. Thankfully, I guess one
- 2:10Speaker 2: person had a minor injury. I don't know if it
- 2:13Speaker 2: was directly the cause of this. Fortunately minor injury. When
- 2:16Speaker 2: you have something like this is a blessing. But take
- 2:19Speaker 2: a listen to some of the audio that we got
- 2:21Speaker 2: from people who were around the severe weather yesterday. Holy
- 2:25Speaker 2: this is a tornado. Wow that is and that is
- 2:30Speaker 2: kind of amazing. Living in the Northeast, you don't expect
- 2:33Speaker 2: to see something like that, but sure enough a lot
- 2:35Speaker 2: of people did. This was in Queen's with all the flooding.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Every time with other storms, I run home from work
- 2:40Speaker 2: by wondering, hey, am I going to make it back safe?
- 2:43Speaker 2: Twice this year, once last October during Halloween. Three times
- 2:47Speaker 2: within the span of not even one year. Yeah, now,
- 2:49Speaker 2: you know, a lot of that happens, my meteorologists fans
- 2:52Speaker 2: tell me because in many cases you have garbage on
- 2:55Speaker 2: the streets that gets washed into the sewers, plugs up
- 2:59Speaker 2: the sewers and then they can't take the water. So
- 3:02Speaker 2: it's not necessarily that we're getting more rain or rain
- 3:05Speaker 2: more off. In some cases that is the case, but
- 3:08Speaker 2: it's because the sewers are not cleaned out. They need
- 3:11Speaker 2: to be cleaned out on a regular basis, and that's
- 3:14Speaker 2: something that sometimes the municipalities say yeah, we could save money.
- 3:17Speaker 2: We don't need to do that, but that's part of
- 3:20Speaker 2: the problem. You need to keep those sewers clear at
- 3:22Speaker 2: all times. Jersey City also had a lot of rain,
- 3:24Speaker 2: and I.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Saw like almost six or seven cars were like, you know,
- 3:29Speaker 3: stalled there around me.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:31Speaker 3: I was just driving under the bridge and I think
- 3:35Speaker 3: was like worder level was very high.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Yeah, and just about ten miles away from there in
- 3:39Speaker 2: Passaic came down really heavy. There was a flood everywhere.
- 3:42Speaker 5: I came down from Passaic or Route twenty one, flood.
- 3:45Speaker 3: Everywhere, Belleville everywhere, flood everywhere as well, coming down on
- 3:50Speaker 3: By one and nine by Jerseys City as well.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Yeah, if you looked at any of the radars, it
- 3:55Speaker 2: was just purples and reds throughout the whole tri state.
- 3:58Speaker 2: So it was serious weather. And in times like that,
- 4:01Speaker 2: you know, flash flooding happens. And most of the area
- 4:05Speaker 2: got like four inches of rain in just a short
- 4:07Speaker 2: amount of time. So that was an absolute mess. Fortunately
- 4:11Speaker 2: everybody seemed to fare well. Some areas still have a
- 4:15Speaker 2: little floodwater receding right now. I know, secaucas or secaucas
- 4:20Speaker 2: how do you pronounce it, Seacaucus or Chicaucas both are
- 4:22Speaker 2: apparently correct. They had some flooding, I know on the
- 4:27Speaker 2: service roads near Route three apparently still flooded this morning.
- 4:31Speaker 2: But that'll all try out today, Ray Stagic saying that
- 4:34Speaker 2: throughout the day today, you're only going to have partly
- 4:36Speaker 2: cloudy skies, but chance of some more storms over the weekend.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Not as bad as we just had, but nonetheless more
- 4:42Speaker 2: stormy weather. Seven to ten WO are the Voice of
- 4:46Speaker 2: New York. It's Ken Risotto, former TV news guy in
- 4:49Speaker 2: for the great Mark Simone on this Friday. If you're
- 4:52Speaker 2: wondering where has Ken beIN? He used to work at
- 4:54Speaker 2: Channel seven for twenty years. Where's he been? I was
- 4:57Speaker 2: a Channel five before that. These days I'm on on
- 5:00Speaker 2: New Jersey, which is a New Jersey TV news, talk, opinion, weather,
- 5:05Speaker 2: It's traffic channel. It's twenty four hours a DAYNENJ dot com.
- 5:10Speaker 2: You could stream it anywhere onenj dot com on New Jersey.
- 5:14Speaker 2: We hope you check us out sometimes too. But I
- 5:17Speaker 2: also work here obviously at iHeart and love my time
- 5:20Speaker 2: filling in here at iHeartRadio, one of America's great radio corporations,
- 5:26Speaker 2: the largest, And if you heard Curtis this morning on
- 5:30Speaker 2: earlier talking about Yesterday was National Radio Day, and not
- 5:36Speaker 2: a lot of companies are true diehard radio fans. A
- 5:41Speaker 2: lot of the corporations that own broadcast media today just
- 5:45Speaker 2: own them as entities. And you could just tell when
- 5:48Speaker 2: they don't love what they do and what they own.
- 5:51Speaker 2: iHeart is different. iHeart loves broadcasting. They love radio, and
- 5:58Speaker 2: that's why they have between somewhere between eight and nine
- 6:01Speaker 2: hundred stations. I've lost count. But they love what they
- 6:04Speaker 2: do and they love their radio stations, and they own
- 6:08Speaker 2: literally some of the most historic radio broadcast entities in America,
- 6:13Speaker 2: like this one, fifty thousand watt clear channels seven to
- 6:17Speaker 2: ten wor. This is just a monster signal that covers
- 6:21Speaker 2: the whole region of the country, not just the New
- 6:23Speaker 2: York area. You could hear this huge signal up and
- 6:26Speaker 2: down the k mid Atlantic with its massive footprint, and
- 6:31Speaker 2: at night you could hear it even farther. It goes
- 6:34Speaker 2: about five six hundred miles clear as a bell at night.
- 6:38Speaker 2: But yesterday they took National Radio Day seriously as they should,
- 6:43Speaker 2: and a lot of the broadcasters from this station were
- 6:46Speaker 2: honored and talked to, and they got to speak to everybody,
- 6:49Speaker 2: and it was just wonderful and we just have a good,
- 6:52Speaker 2: nice group of people when I walk on the door
- 6:54Speaker 2: here and see some of the folks who work in
- 6:56Speaker 2: this building. Of course, Curtis, you know, is just an
- 7:01Speaker 2: amazing man now that he's on at the morning show
- 7:03Speaker 2: as well. It's just, you know, Larry is just a sweetheart.
- 7:08Speaker 2: He and I He worked at Channel seven before me,
- 7:11Speaker 2: but he is historic as a broadcaster between New York
- 7:14Speaker 2: and Philadelphia. And just to get to know Larry now
- 7:17Speaker 2: personally is an amazing thing. And of course Mark Simone.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Mark Simone is not it's not an opinion, it's by ratings,
- 7:25Speaker 2: by fact, the most listened to talk radio host in America.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Certainly in New York he's number one. It's between him
- 7:33Speaker 2: and Sean Hannity. Of course nationwide also here on seven
- 7:37Speaker 2: ten wor These are great broadcast entities and it's all
- 7:41Speaker 2: part of the iHeart family. So I'm just honored to
- 7:43Speaker 2: be here and filling in. But we want to hear
- 7:45Speaker 2: what you have to say. Eight hundred three to two
- 7:47Speaker 2: one zero seven ten. Eight hundred three to two one
- 7:50Speaker 2: zero seven ten. You know, for months, President Trump's been
- 7:54Speaker 2: pushing to have the Save America Act past and he's
- 7:58Speaker 2: saying it would pose an exit essential threat to our country,
- 8:02Speaker 2: to our democratic republic if it doesn't pass. And if
- 8:06Speaker 2: you think about it, that's not hyperbole because if you
- 8:09Speaker 2: have potentially tens of millions of illegal migrants who've come in,
- 8:14Speaker 2: now you're talking about this country just being rife with
- 8:17Speaker 2: potential fraud, voter fraud. We already know in New Jersey. Remember,
- 8:22Speaker 2: we were told, first absolutely nobody who is pardon me
- 8:26Speaker 2: here illegally me just hit the cough button. Pardon me,
- 8:30Speaker 2: Thank goodness for the cough button. You didn't have to
- 8:32Speaker 2: hear that. We were told that nobody who's here illegally
- 8:37Speaker 2: is registered to vote. Then we were told some people
- 8:39Speaker 2: may have registered to vote, but they didn't actually vote.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Then we're told, oh, some people voted, but it doesn't
- 8:45Speaker 2: really count, it's too tiny. Then it was oh, well,
- 8:47Speaker 2: thousands registered to vote who shouldn't have, but only a
- 8:50Speaker 2: couple of hundred actually voted. Now it could be a
- 8:53Speaker 2: lot of people who voted. Where do we get that number? Well,
- 8:57Speaker 2: we get that number of a lot. Where am I
- 8:59Speaker 2: getting that? We now know that the federal government has
- 9:03Speaker 2: taken a look at the New Jersey voter Roles. So
- 9:05Speaker 2: we're going to talk more later in the show about this.
- 9:08Speaker 2: And they have found as many as thirty five to
- 9:10Speaker 2: forty thousand people who they've crossed referenced see New Jersey's
- 9:15Speaker 2: not cooperating with the Feds, but the FEDS did some
- 9:17Speaker 2: work on their own, thirty five to forty thousand people
- 9:20Speaker 2: apparently here illegally who may have registered to vote in
- 9:25Speaker 2: the state of New Jersey. New Jersey saying they only
- 9:27Speaker 2: have a few thousand, Well, there's quite a disparaty between
- 9:30Speaker 2: a few thousand and thirty five to forty thousand. Go
- 9:33Speaker 2: to the New Jersey State Republicans, they say there as
- 9:37Speaker 2: many as seventy nine thousand. Where do they get their
- 9:41Speaker 2: numbers from? They say that people who are selected to
- 9:46Speaker 2: be on juries in New Jersey are selected based on
- 9:50Speaker 2: people who have driver's licenses with the New Jersey MVC,
- 9:54Speaker 2: the Motor Vehicle Commission, which is their answer to the
- 9:57Speaker 2: DMV in New York. And people who are selected for
- 10:01Speaker 2: juries have responded, I can't serve on the jury because
- 10:06Speaker 2: I am not a legal alien in the United States.
- 10:10Speaker 2: I'm not a citizen. But in order to have been selected,
- 10:15Speaker 2: they had to be They had to have drivers' licenses
- 10:17Speaker 2: and be registered to vote, so that either they lied
- 10:23Speaker 2: about not being citizens, but yet they're still registered to vote,
- 10:27Speaker 2: which could be the case, But yet it's something that
- 10:30Speaker 2: has to be investigated. Right, So the state Republicans in
- 10:33Speaker 2: New Jersey say as many as seventy nine thousand people
- 10:36Speaker 2: that they know of are illegals who are registered to vote.
- 10:40Speaker 2: So the number we know is on the low end,
- 10:42Speaker 2: what sixty six hundred and on the high end, seventy
- 10:46Speaker 2: nine thousand. That's a lot of people. It shouldn't be one.
- 10:50Speaker 2: We should not have one illegal migrant. Anyone who's not
- 10:54Speaker 2: a citizen, even a legal resident, you should not be
- 10:58Speaker 2: registered to vote. Supposed to be only citizens are supposed
- 11:02Speaker 2: to vote. But the Democrats intentionally set this up to
- 11:07Speaker 2: have confusion. What am I talking about? I mean having
- 11:11Speaker 2: driver's licenses for people who are not here legally. Well,
- 11:14Speaker 2: if you're not here legally, why do anything to invite
- 11:16Speaker 2: people to stay longer when they're already not here legally.
- 11:20Speaker 2: You shouldn't do things to make it more comfortable. You
- 11:22Speaker 2: should say I'm sorry, but all right. You could be
- 11:24Speaker 2: here until you're not find a way home and then
- 11:27Speaker 2: apply to be a citizen and come back, but until
- 11:30Speaker 2: then you shouldn't be here. All right, I'm sorry, it's
- 11:33Speaker 2: not allowed. That's like you find somebody living in your attic.
- 11:36Speaker 2: You hear noise, you think it's squirrels for months and months,
- 11:39Speaker 2: some i'ms saying, now there's noise up there, squirrels, And
- 11:42Speaker 2: you go up there and you find people living in
- 11:43Speaker 2: your attic. You don't then start bringing them food and
- 11:46Speaker 2: water and clothing. You say, all right, here, I'll give
- 11:50Speaker 2: you a snack, but you gotta leave. You gotta go.
- 11:54Speaker 2: You can't stay in my attic. And it's the same thing, Ken,
- 11:57Speaker 2: that's a rude way to talk about human beings. Those
- 12:00Speaker 2: human beings broke into our home. Sorry, let's just say
- 12:03Speaker 2: what it is. They're burglars. You didn't break into their home.
- 12:07Speaker 2: We didn't go into their country. You try going into
- 12:10Speaker 2: Mexico illegally, You try going into El Salvador illegally, you'll
- 12:14Speaker 2: be arrested, You will be tossed in jail, and it
- 12:18Speaker 2: might be years before you can get out. But yet
- 12:20Speaker 2: we have no problem keeping our borders open and letting
- 12:23Speaker 2: people in here. Even liberal Canada. Liberal Canada change the
- 12:27Speaker 2: rules they used to have birthright citizenship, they used to
- 12:30Speaker 2: let people off. They're here illegally. Whatever, they're changing their
- 12:33Speaker 2: tune now in Canada as well. Europe has had it
- 12:36Speaker 2: with illegals. They've had it. They have the migrants who
- 12:39Speaker 2: are there right now have overtaken lands. They've actually set
- 12:42Speaker 2: up parts of Paris. You can't even recognize parts of Paris.
- 12:45Speaker 2: They are no go zones with the Islamic sectors of Paris,
- 12:50Speaker 2: where the police don't go in because they're not wanted
- 12:53Speaker 2: and it can cause a riot. So rather than doing
- 12:55Speaker 2: something about it, the liberal Parisians said, well, let's just
- 12:57Speaker 2: not go in that area. Really, you're just going to
- 12:59Speaker 2: surrender head of the land of the city to a
- 13:01Speaker 2: group because they don't want you there. It's just ridiculous
- 13:04Speaker 2: and this is what liberalism and socialism has gotten us. Well,
- 13:08Speaker 2: to get back to this story, here at seventh ten
- 13:10Speaker 2: wor the Voice of New York, hen Risotto in from
- 13:13Speaker 2: Mark in Alaska, there is a senator who has been
- 13:17Speaker 2: Senator for almost three decades, Lisa Murkowski. Lisa is a Rhino.
- 13:22Speaker 2: She is a Republican in name only. She never votes
- 13:25Speaker 2: less than fifty percent of the time does she vote
- 13:27Speaker 2: with Republicans. The only reason why she still serves a
- 13:30Speaker 2: purpose is she keeps the Republican Party in the majority
- 13:34Speaker 2: in the Senate, because if she were a registered Democrat,
- 13:37Speaker 2: you could lose committee heads and things like that. So
- 13:40Speaker 2: you want to have a majority Republican in the number
- 13:44Speaker 2: of Republicans in the Senate and in the House, ostensibly
- 13:47Speaker 2: to be in charge and run the agenda in the
- 13:50Speaker 2: respective house. So she Lisa Murkowski is against the Save Act,
- 13:56Speaker 2: the Save America Act. She is one of the Senators
- 13:59Speaker 2: who was preventing it from coming up for a vote
- 14:02Speaker 2: in the Senate. So in the House this has passed
- 14:05Speaker 2: four times. It has passed in different iterations. It is passed,
- 14:10Speaker 2: and all four of the bills have made their way
- 14:12Speaker 2: to the Senate only to sit there on John Thune's
- 14:15Speaker 2: desk and do nothing. They just sit there collecting dust.
- 14:19Speaker 2: And of course, the President said, before the Senators take
- 14:23Speaker 2: their needless vacations of weeks and weeks, please pass the
- 14:27Speaker 2: Save America Act. They pass all this other nonsense that
- 14:30Speaker 2: ends up putting money in their pockets, but they didn't
- 14:32Speaker 2: want to pass the Save America Act. So Lisa Murkowski
- 14:36Speaker 2: would not support the Save America Act. She says it's
- 14:39Speaker 2: overly burdensome, really really, well, think about this. James O'Keeffe
- 14:46Speaker 2: of O'Keeffe media group, he used to be with Project Veritas.
- 14:49Speaker 2: He's the guy you see online who goes up to
- 14:52Speaker 2: people with secret, hidden cameras and gets them, usually people
- 14:56Speaker 2: on the left, to admit things that we know are happening.
- 15:00Speaker 2: Left denies it in public, but we get them on
- 15:02Speaker 2: video acknowledging, like he was the one who exposed an
- 15:06Speaker 2: abortionist from one of the big abortion groups. I'll let
- 15:10Speaker 2: you figure out which, talking about harvesting organs from babies
- 15:15Speaker 2: and selling them. And later they denied it. Well, why
- 15:18Speaker 2: did you say it on You know, you said it
- 15:20Speaker 2: what you thought was privately. You admitted it to a person,
- 15:23Speaker 2: but it was not true. So anyway, he is. James
- 15:27Speaker 2: O'Keefe is notorious for doing this. He walked up to
- 15:30Speaker 2: a polling place on Wednesday when Alaska had its primaries
- 15:34Speaker 2: and he said he was Lisa Murkowski's brother, Brian Murkowski. Now,
- 15:38Speaker 2: Alaska is a small place. Alaska only has seven hundred
- 15:42Speaker 2: and fifty thousand people in the entire state, and their
- 15:45Speaker 2: land mass is fourteen thousand times the land mass of
- 15:49Speaker 2: the Bronx. That's a real statistic, fourteen thousand times the
- 15:53Speaker 2: land mass, which means like there's one person for every
- 15:56Speaker 2: twelve miles of land or some silliness like that. So
- 15:59Speaker 2: people know each other in Alaska. Even in cities, you
- 16:02Speaker 2: know everybody. I think Anchorage is their biggest city with
- 16:05Speaker 2: like seventy nine thousand people. So people do know each
- 16:08Speaker 2: other in all the cities in Alaska. For the most part,
- 16:11Speaker 2: people have lived there most of their lives. The James
- 16:14Speaker 2: O'Keefe walked up to the polsters or the polling place
- 16:17Speaker 2: I should say that the people were running the polling place,
- 16:19Speaker 2: and said he was Brian Murkowski, Lisa Murkowski's brother. Nobody
- 16:24Speaker 2: questioned him. They all knew. Most of the people knew.
- 16:26Speaker 2: But under Alaska law, you're not allowed to demand id.
- 16:30Speaker 2: If somebody asks for a ballot, you have to give
- 16:33Speaker 2: him the ballot. So guess what. They handed him a ballot,
- 16:36Speaker 2: and fortunately he had it on video to prove it.
- 16:40Speaker 2: But he didn't do the illegal act of voting. He did.
- 16:43Speaker 2: That's when he could get arrested. He handed the ballot back,
- 16:46Speaker 2: but it's on video of him accepting the ballot of
- 16:49Speaker 2: somebody else, the brother of the most powerful senator in
- 16:53Speaker 2: Alaskan history. That's who he claimed to be, and he
- 16:57Speaker 2: was given the person's ballot. This is a perfect example
- 17:01Speaker 2: of why voter idea of the polls isn't just a
- 17:03Speaker 2: good idea, but it's essential if we want to preserve
- 17:06Speaker 2: our republic. Everybody can get identification if you have been
- 17:11Speaker 2: born in the US, you have a birth certificate, you
- 17:14Speaker 2: have a Social Security card. Those things right there will
- 17:17Speaker 2: get you anything else. If you lose either, you can
- 17:20Speaker 2: get a duplicate and don't forget other than if you
- 17:23Speaker 2: have a burner phone. By burner phone, I mean the
- 17:26Speaker 2: phones that you buy that have built in thirty minutes
- 17:29Speaker 2: of time. You get them at Walmart and you throw
- 17:30Speaker 2: them out when you're done. That's what the drug dealers use.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Unless you have a burner phone, you need to have
- 17:36Speaker 2: ID to buy a cell phone because you have to
- 17:39Speaker 2: you have to establish credit to pay for the account.
- 17:43Speaker 2: And I'm sorry, but I don't know a human in
- 17:45Speaker 2: poor neighborhoods are rich who does not have a cell phone.
- 17:48Speaker 2: So that means at some point the individuals had to
- 17:51Speaker 2: present ID. In fact, I defy a liberal to present
- 17:55Speaker 2: me with a human who is a citizen of the
- 17:58Speaker 2: US in twenty twenty six who does not possess an
- 18:01Speaker 2: ID doesn't exist. And women who marry and change their
- 18:05Speaker 2: names usually up their id's almost immediately. If they decide
- 18:08Speaker 2: to change their name, they go and they have that
- 18:10Speaker 2: taken care. If it could be done in five minutes,
- 18:12Speaker 2: you get your ID change one, two, three, it's done.
- 18:15Speaker 2: So spare me the nonsense that anyone would be kept
- 18:18Speaker 2: from voting because of access to identification. Well, quickly back
- 18:22Speaker 2: to James O'Keefe, because I know we got to go
- 18:25Speaker 2: to a break here. In twenty twelve, he did the
- 18:27Speaker 2: same thing. He walked into a polling place in Washington,
- 18:30Speaker 2: d C. Claiming to be Attorney General Eric Holder, who
- 18:33Speaker 2: is African American. James o'keef is white, and yet he
- 18:36Speaker 2: was given a ballot. And when Eric Holder showed up
- 18:40Speaker 2: for real, he was told, Oh, somebody already got your ballot.
- 18:44Speaker 2: Is what do you mean? But this is the thing,
- 18:47Speaker 2: because Washington, d C. Does not require ID to get
- 18:49Speaker 2: the ballot to vote. You need ID to fly in
- 18:52Speaker 2: a plane, you need ID to apply for a credit card,
- 18:54Speaker 2: to check into a hotel, to rent a car, to
- 18:56Speaker 2: apply for a mortgage, sign the lease, open a bank account,
- 18:59Speaker 2: as we mentioned, get a cell phone if you want
- 19:01Speaker 2: to buy cigarettes or lottery tickets and they have to
- 19:03Speaker 2: check your age. You want to get hired at a job,
- 19:05Speaker 2: claim unemployment, get a Social Security card and roll and medicaid,
- 19:08Speaker 2: pick up certain prescriptions, get a marriage license, purchase a firearm,
- 19:12Speaker 2: adopt a pet, at about a thousand other things. You
- 19:15Speaker 2: need to have IDs. So stop with your silliness. It's
- 19:19Speaker 2: it's like you are punking us to tell us that
- 19:21Speaker 2: no everybody has ID. Yes, everybody has ID or can
- 19:25Speaker 2: easily get it, and we need to impose a rule
- 19:28Speaker 2: that you need to have ID to vote. It's the
- 19:30Speaker 2: most sacred of all our abilities, and it's something that
- 19:33Speaker 2: we should require an ID for seven to ten WR
- 19:37Speaker 2: The Voice of New York. Ken Rosotto in for Mark
- 19:39Speaker 2: on a Friday, partly cloudy today, highs eepra seventies our
- 19:42Speaker 2: one of the all new three hour Mark Simone Show.
- 19:45Speaker 2: Now Ken Rosotto inf Mark again. We're coming right back.
- 19:48Speaker 1: If this is the Mark Simone Show on seven ten
- 19:51Speaker 1: wi kin from Mark Today, here's Ken Rosotto.
- 19:56Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so nice to be back with you our
- 19:58Speaker 2: one of the three hour all new three hour Mark
- 20:01Speaker 2: Simone show. Ken in on a Friday for the great
- 20:05Speaker 2: great Mark Simone, who is resting up after the big
- 20:08Speaker 2: night or the big yesterday. I guess it was late
- 20:11Speaker 2: late afternoon, early evening that the good folks at iHeart
- 20:14Speaker 2: had to do a meet and greet with folks. Just
- 20:18Speaker 2: I love iHeart for that for a thousand reasons. iHeart
- 20:21Speaker 2: of preserving the greatness of radio broadcast like nobody else,
- 20:25Speaker 2: nobody else's business. Just to continue on with the conversation
- 20:29Speaker 2: that we had there a moment ago before we take
- 20:31Speaker 2: calls and we go to news here just talking about
- 20:35Speaker 2: what ID is required for I forgot one thing. You know,
- 20:39Speaker 2: when you are three years old and you want to
- 20:41Speaker 2: be entered into like pre K and whatnot, you need
- 20:45Speaker 2: the child's birth certify, get in Social Security number if
- 20:48Speaker 2: you want to get the child into school. So everyone
- 20:51Speaker 2: has ID. I mean, unless you were born on Mars
- 20:56Speaker 2: and teleported to the Earth, you have an ID from birth.
- 21:00Speaker 2: So don't give me this. It's too much of a
- 21:02Speaker 2: hardship for people to get a gentification. You don't have
- 21:04Speaker 2: to get it. You have it from when you are born.
- 21:07Speaker 2: You have identification if you live in the United States,
- 21:09Speaker 2: and if you lost it, you could even go online
- 21:12Speaker 2: and renew it. So stop the nonsense. It is a
- 21:15Speaker 2: Democrat talking point because they want people to vote illegally, period.
- 21:21Speaker 2: The more illegal votes they get. Listen, let me stop
- 21:25Speaker 2: mid sentence. I've said this before and I'll say it again.
- 21:28Speaker 2: If Democrats were assured that people voting illegally vote strictly
- 21:33Speaker 2: for conservative Republicans, you would have nineteen thousand forms of
- 21:37Speaker 2: ID required at the polling place. The fact that you
- 21:40Speaker 2: don't tells you everything about the fact that they like
- 21:43Speaker 2: it the way it is. Seven ten wo are the

- 22:22Speaker 2: what can.
- 22:22Speaker 5: I do for you? El what hosts refer to America
- 22:30Speaker 5: as a democracy, it's really a democratic republic and yet
- 22:39Speaker 5: defines their values.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Yes, and I'll I don't mean to step in on you.
- 22:44Speaker 2: I'll I don't mean to step in on you, only
- 22:46Speaker 2: because we're a little tight on time. Not only is
- 22:48Speaker 2: a democratic republic, which you are one hundred percent correct,
- 22:52Speaker 2: and you're right. You can tell right away with some
- 22:54Speaker 2: of my politics. You Oh, there you go. You could
- 22:57Speaker 2: tell somebody's politics why they call it a democracy versus
- 23:00Speaker 2: a republic? Right?
- 23:03Speaker 5: Yeah, the idea of democracy is everything free, so to speak.
- 23:09Speaker 2: M h and everybody else, everybody gets an equals say,
- 23:12Speaker 2: you're absolutely right, my friend. We go to Patent Scarsdale. Hello, Pat,
- 23:17Speaker 2: how are you ken? Good sir?
- 23:20Speaker 6: I had just said two points. So one point was
- 23:23Speaker 6: I know you folks are on top of the news.
- 23:25Speaker 6: Remember that leaker that leaked in the Supreme Court going
- 23:29Speaker 6: back a year or two.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Uh huh.
- 23:31Speaker 6: Yes, they leaked the announcement about Roe v. Wade, and
- 23:36Speaker 6: they said we're going to catch catch this person, and
- 23:38Speaker 6: we're going to make sure that they've brought to justice.
- 23:40Speaker 6: I never heard another word.
- 23:42Speaker 2: Well, that's because it was a Democrat. I mean, you know,
- 23:45Speaker 2: listen who. It wouldn't have benefited the Republicans, the conservative justices.
- 23:49Speaker 2: It would have only benefited the liberals, right, So you
- 23:51Speaker 2: know that because of that, you'll never hear another word
- 23:55Speaker 2: about it. They know it's a very small little clique
- 23:58Speaker 2: in the Supreme Court, all right. In Scotus, everybody knows everybody,
- 24:02Speaker 2: no matter which side you're on, so they certainly know
- 24:05Speaker 2: who leaked. And Washington is a very close, clicky place.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Everybody knows who leaked, but they keep their mouths shut
- 24:11Speaker 2: because they protect their own. And by the way, I'm
- 24:13Speaker 2: sure even the conservatives there are protecting the liberals because
- 24:16Speaker 2: the reverse I'm sure someday will be true. Sadly, that's
- 24:19Speaker 2: the way it works.
- 24:20Speaker 6: Indeed, exactly right. I want to a point. Sure w
- 24:24Speaker 6: L tends to be leanings of right of center, a
- 24:28Speaker 6: conservative radio station. Why did they and I know it's
- 24:32Speaker 6: commercial radio, but why did they have so many ads
- 24:35Speaker 6: for people that can avoid paying taxes? You know, I
- 24:38Speaker 6: listened to the radio religiously three or four hours, and
- 24:43Speaker 6: I tell you the truth, my hair goes on fire
- 24:45Speaker 6: when I hear even Sean Hannity, you miss the right way,
- 24:48Speaker 6: always promoting these ways to avoid paying taxes.
- 24:52Speaker 2: Listen if the law, if that's the way the law
- 24:54Speaker 2: is written, It's not about why would you pay taxes
- 24:57Speaker 2: if the law says you don't have the pay taxes.
- 24:59Speaker 2: If you want to listen, you want to pay more taxes.
- 25:01Speaker 2: You gotn't pay all the taxes you want. The law
- 25:03Speaker 2: says you don't have to pay taxes. If you cross
- 25:05Speaker 2: the street on the left side and make a left turn,
- 25:07Speaker 2: then you cross the street on the left side and
- 25:09Speaker 2: make a left turn. You're not breaking the law. You're
- 25:11Speaker 2: just watching the law, following the rules. Now, that's the thing.
- 25:15Speaker 2: People covetch, if I could use a nice good Yiddish term,
- 25:17Speaker 2: they covetch when other people are smart enough to take
- 25:20Speaker 2: advantage of a loophole that allows them to do it.
- 25:23Speaker 2: I say, either change the law or we should all
- 25:26Speaker 2: applaud the people who are smart enough to use it.
- 25:28Speaker 2: It's as simple as that, right, Joe and Elmwood, good morning,
- 25:32Speaker 2: Good morning, Ken.
- 25:33Speaker 5: We heard four hundred.
- 25:35Speaker 4: There was more than four hundred, and that's the start.
- 25:37Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Joe, let me back up. It's four hundred
- 25:39Speaker 2: who they say, actually voted, but there were tens of
- 25:42Speaker 2: thousands potentially who are registered. And we heard one story
- 25:47Speaker 2: of fraud and then now it's crickets.
- 25:49Speaker 4: There must be thousands of fraud in New Jersey. Okay,
- 25:53Speaker 4: and one one boy.
- 25:54Speaker 2: Kudos to Ireland because they had enough.
- 25:57Speaker 4: The people are uprising. They had enough with the illegals.
- 26:01Speaker 2: And listen, not only I'll tell you when we know
- 26:04Speaker 2: what's going on over in Europe. Europe is always about
- 26:07Speaker 2: six to nine months ahead of what we're going to
- 26:09Speaker 2: see here. And in Europe they are now fed up.
- 26:11Speaker 2: The European Union has voted to kick out illegal migrants finally,
- 26:16Speaker 2: so now they're just beginning the process. The fact that
- 26:18Speaker 2: they're doing that, they're fed up. That tells me that
- 26:21Speaker 2: America is going to get to a point. If you
- 26:22Speaker 2: think they had enough, and that's why they elected Trump,
- 26:26Speaker 2: you just wait, people, If the Democrats, god forbid, get
- 26:29Speaker 2: into power and they start switching things around and letting
- 26:32Speaker 2: people in illegally again, you're going to see an uprising
- 26:35Speaker 2: like you've never seen before. All right, Joe, thank you
- 26:38Speaker 2: so much. Say hello my buddies in New Jersey, love
- 26:41Speaker 2: it ja. All right, My friend Robert in Westchester. Good morning,
- 26:44Speaker 2: you're on the Mark Simone Show.
- 26:47Speaker 4: Good morning, Ken. How are you.
- 26:49Speaker 2: I'm great. Yeah, that's where I'm born and raised in
- 26:51Speaker 2: you Rochelle.
- 26:53Speaker 4: Ah, See, why'd you move though? I know why you
- 26:56Speaker 4: moved it.
- 26:56Speaker 2: No, honestly, I'll tell you. I'll tell you why I moved.
- 26:59Speaker 2: I'll tell you right now. When I had moved to
- 27:01Speaker 2: Miami because I was working for a TV station there.
- 27:03Speaker 2: When I came back to the New York area, I
- 27:05Speaker 2: initially went back to Narschelle, but because I was working
- 27:08Speaker 2: a Channel seven, which is on the West side of Manhattan,
- 27:11Speaker 2: to commute down from Narrochelle and Crosstown took me like
- 27:15Speaker 2: an extra hour, and I said, I'm tired of crossing Manhattan.
- 27:18Speaker 2: And that's why I moved to New Jersey. It's easy
- 27:20Speaker 2: to come into the West Side from New Jersey than
- 27:22Speaker 2: it is from west Chester. That's the honest reason.
- 27:25Speaker 4: I believe it. I believe it. I mean, when I
- 27:27Speaker 4: first moved into Westchester, it was a paradise, but rob
- 27:32Speaker 4: Astorno was the executive at the time, and it was
- 27:35Speaker 4: more of our thinking. Now it's like the Titanic. I'm
- 27:40Speaker 4: scrambling to get to the top of the bow. But
- 27:43Speaker 4: if I get on a lifeboat and get out of here,
- 27:45Speaker 4: believe me, I would. But I have a question for you.
- 27:48Speaker 4: The first is this guy ass Off I believe is
- 27:51Speaker 4: his name. He's running for senate. I heard he's leading
- 27:55Speaker 4: in the polls. Please tell me that's incorrect.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, don't follow the polls this far out. That
- 28:00Speaker 2: means nothing. Remember who was leading in the polls in
- 28:02Speaker 2: twenty fourteen for president? Do you remember?
- 28:06Speaker 5: Oh?
- 28:06Speaker 4: I absolutely do.
- 28:07Speaker 2: I tell everybody, Tell everybody who was leading in the
- 28:10Speaker 2: polls in twenty fourteen.
- 28:12Speaker 4: Twenty fourteen. If it was the Democrat it was Hillary No.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Well yes, But who was the Republican who was way ahead,
- 28:20Speaker 2: like ninety percent?
- 28:21Speaker 4: George Bush Junior? It was Jeb I'm no Jeb Jeb right.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Jeb Bush. And you know what Jeb Bush ended up
- 28:28Speaker 2: getting in the primaries three percent. So that just tells you,
- 28:31Speaker 2: I mean, and that was a matter of like less
- 28:33Speaker 2: than a year. He went from ninety percent to three percent.
- 28:37Speaker 2: So don't don't get excited by this. He is the
- 28:40Speaker 2: flavored du jour for the Democrats. There's a lot of time.
- 28:44Speaker 2: There's a lot of time left, so don't don't be
- 28:47Speaker 2: yeah this way.
- 28:48Speaker 4: I believe you, Paisan, I believe you. The only thing
- 28:50Speaker 4: is that George is supposed to be like one of
- 28:52Speaker 4: us is supposed to be a red state. That's the
- 28:54Speaker 4: only thing that makes me. It unnerves me. But my
- 28:56Speaker 4: next thing that I want to say, I had a
- 28:58Speaker 4: friend of mine, he served in Afghanistan. He was a marine,
- 29:03Speaker 4: and he was a young man. This kid was blown
- 29:06Speaker 4: out of his jeep by one of those improvised exploit.
- 29:09Speaker 2: I ud'sedd is something entirely different.
- 29:14Speaker 4: Right, I know, I keep on getting those two. I'm
- 29:17Speaker 4: so sorry everyone today, but you know what happened. He
- 29:20Speaker 4: dusted himself off, he got checked out, and he stayed
- 29:23Speaker 4: with his with his troops, with his Marines. I begged
- 29:27Speaker 4: him to call you guys and say he wouldn't even
- 29:30Speaker 4: do that because he says it's not my place to
- 29:33Speaker 4: do that, and I don't need to throw his spursions
- 29:35Speaker 4: or whatever. But it just disheartens me that our navy,
- 29:39Speaker 4: the guys are said, guys, you're on his ship. Nobody's
- 29:42Speaker 4: shooting at you, not being blown out of it. I
- 29:44Speaker 4: don't know what how this ain't Oh, the toilets smell
- 29:47Speaker 4: like mold and a couple of other things. I mean, really,
- 29:51Speaker 4: we're fighting an enemy that wants to destroy us. These
- 29:55Speaker 4: people have been killing us for fifty years. I mean,
- 29:58Speaker 4: when I saw during the bise, the the semi bicentennial,
- 30:02Speaker 4: what the American troops went through in Valley Forge, those
- 30:06Speaker 4: kids knew they would dine, but they wouldn't weave. They
- 30:08Speaker 4: stayed at valleys. They believed in having a nation. That's
- 30:13Speaker 4: It's just we're a.
- 30:14Speaker 2: Softer generation of people. We're softer, you know, come on,
- 30:17Speaker 2: let's face it. In World War Two, people sixteen year
- 30:21Speaker 2: olds lied about their age in order to get into
- 30:24Speaker 2: the military because they were raised with a certain level
- 30:27Speaker 2: of pride of their country, that they had to serve
- 30:29Speaker 2: the country no matter what. There was valor in going
- 30:32Speaker 2: off and defending your nation. Today it's about, you know,
- 30:35Speaker 2: living in mommy and daddy's basement and playing with video games.
- 30:38Speaker 2: And you know that doesn't mean listen, God bless I
- 30:41Speaker 2: didn't volunteer for the military. So I'm not going to
- 30:43Speaker 2: say that God bless all of them for doing it.
- 30:45Speaker 2: But I think we're raised in a softer environment. We
- 30:48Speaker 2: have our air conditioning, and suddenly you're put in a
- 30:50Speaker 2: cramped environment you have to sleep twelve on twelve off
- 30:53Speaker 2: in the same bunk with people. It's a different thing.
- 30:56Speaker 2: And you know, we're just not used to that kind
- 30:58Speaker 2: of lifestyle anymore.
- 31:00Speaker 4: No, absolutely, But you know what I called you a
- 31:02Speaker 4: while ago, and I said that same point about World
- 31:04Speaker 4: War Two. Those kids who volunteered lived through the depression,
- 31:10Speaker 4: they had nothing, and you know what they did the
- 31:13Speaker 4: next day They went to vote to fight on a vote.
- 31:16Speaker 4: Here I go again toister to serve. I imagine that
- 31:20Speaker 4: their country, they were living on poison food. I mean,
- 31:24Speaker 4: they just but they knew they had to defend this
- 31:26Speaker 4: great country.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Hey, I'll give you one more, Robert. How about the
- 31:29Speaker 2: African Americans in World War Two who still volunteered to
- 31:32Speaker 2: fight in spite of the fact that they were segregated
- 31:35Speaker 2: in the military. How would you like my friend, my
- 31:38Speaker 2: dear friend, Laurie Stokes. God bless her. We used to
- 31:40Speaker 2: work at Channel seven together, one of my dearest friends.
- 31:43Speaker 2: She's phenomenal. Laurie's dad who became a congressman, Congressman Lewis Stokes,
- 31:48Speaker 2: And it's just the anniversary of his passing the other day.
- 31:51Speaker 2: Congressman Stokes was in the Navy and he was segregated.
- 31:56Speaker 2: He wasn't allowed to directly face people he served in
- 31:59Speaker 2: the mess you have to do it through some back
- 32:02Speaker 2: window or something. Yet he still did it. Why because
- 32:05Speaker 2: he was proud to be an American. It was more
- 32:07Speaker 2: important to him to be an American and even though
- 32:09Speaker 2: he was treated with disrespect than to not be an American.
- 32:13Speaker 2: You talk about that's commitment. Hello, So these people, God
- 32:18Speaker 2: bless them and God rest their souls. These are the
- 32:20Speaker 2: great patriots. And unfortunately you have the left being poisoned
- 32:25Speaker 2: by communism and socialism from around the world, so that
- 32:28Speaker 2: kids are being raised, thanks to the idiots and academia,
- 32:31Speaker 2: being raised to hate this country and hate tradition and
- 32:34Speaker 2: hate morals. Literally everything we were taught was right is
- 32:37Speaker 2: now being told to us as being wrong. Robert, we
- 32:40Speaker 2: love when you call my friend. We got to take
- 32:42Speaker 2: a break, but thank you so much for calling in
