• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Kin from Mark Today, here's Ken Rosatto. I'd great to
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: have you with us on your Friday of Memorial Day weekend. Again,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: remember the good folks who fought and die for us.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: That's what Memorial Day is about. And remember kind of
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: resisting happy Memorial Day instead. I mean, it's fine to
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: say have a good Memorial Day, but happy is not
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: what it's about. It's about remembering those people who died
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: for us. It should be a solemn time. So just
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: remember that. Don't want to bring everybody down, but just
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: kind of remember that because of them we have the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: freedom and the joy and the abilities that we have today.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten, eight
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: hundred and three to two one zero seven ten. Time
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to go to our busy phones. We go to Rob
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: in Franklin Square. Good morning Rob, Good morning to you.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Ken. It's nice to hear if we're filling from walking
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: in the problem I have. I always remember my Memorial
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Day was always on May thirtieth. Right now, I understand
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: with the thing with the three day holiday, but they
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: push it up Monday morning. Why couldn't they? Why couldn't
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Memorial Day, be May twenty night, next Friday. You could
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: give people Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If that's what's so important.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Now everybody's worried about it's going to be rainy for
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: this weekend. Too bad, right, you know it's not the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Memorial Days, not for hot dogs and you know, I mean,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: it's not to have family get togethers. But that's the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: thing I remember. I think it was about nineteen seventy nine.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I was a big Dave Kingman fan. I went down
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: to the VET to see the Cubs and the Phillies
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: play was on a Thursday, a beautiful day May thirtieth.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: So that's why people today. The person that was on
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: the show before you that she interviewed the people there
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: was one month. It looked like a mom in the
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: thirties and she asked, well, what do you think about?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: She says, yeah, well, I know, I'm not sure whether
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: it's about I think it's something about the veterans. That's
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: what's the people all are early interested is a three day.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Well and you know what if I could jump in,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: rup let me jump in if I may rob please,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: And that is I think part of it is also
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: on those of us who are broadcasting. You know, all
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the years I was a Channel seven and this is
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: not This is not to knock Channel seven. This was
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: every broadcast news outlet. You really need to have a
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: kind of revision, nut revision. It's what's the word. I'm
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: looking for? A reminder. Course, it should be incumbent upon
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the broadcasters to remind people what it's about. That's what
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it is. We're supposed to be in the public interest, right,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: We're supposed to be here serving the public. That's part
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of it. Just remember that this day is for this
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: reason because younger people coming up don't know, and new
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: people have moved here from other countries don't know. And
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: it doesn't hurt to take a segment a second to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: remind people. But you know what, Rob is one hundred
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: percent right, and yes I do remember when it was
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the same day every year. Now it feels like sometimes,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: oh it's a memorial day, it's the second of May.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: No stop, stop, I get it. But the main job
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: is we should remember those who fought and died. That's
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the most important thing. Let's go to Joe in Elmwood Park.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Joe, Good morning you Ken, good morning. Always
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: taking morning. Fits you said we could talk about anything.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Where is Jack Tibbarelli. How come he's not? We have
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: this clown here, this Mickey whatever her name is. I
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: can't get over and I don't understand.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I know. Look, you know, I do a daily show
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey every day and I covered Jack up
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and down. Jack's a wonderful, wonderful guy. Love Jack to death.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: It's just New Jersey's a tough state right now. And
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: if there's any state that that shows the blue underbelly
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: when there's when there's an election and there's something they
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: don't like from the right, it's New Jersey, unfortunately. And
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and that's the deal. We haven't seen much of Jack,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: but I think because right now he's probably he's he's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: feeling it.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: He spent a lot of time and money, and I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: think there were polls that showed he could have pulled
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it off. But I don't know. If I I don't
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean, anybody with three brain
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: cells knew that last time Murphy stole it from him.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: That was obvious. And now we got this clown and
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: people are leaving.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, people say that's just anecdotal. I know
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: four different families who've left New Jersey in the last
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: few months. And by the way, the funniest part, Joe,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: not all of them are are Republicans. I have some
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Democrat friends to say they can't afford it anymore. And
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: they went and retired down in Florida too. They can't
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: take it.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: And what about all the corporations Standard oil, standard is
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: shell in or standard' sorry is mobile?
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So Exon Mobil. Remember Exon Mobile started out. Remember they
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: started out as s O Standard Oil, and then it
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: became E S s O s O and then it
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: became Exon and then Mobile, et cetera. So, for those
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: of you that don't realize the history of it, but
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that was headquartered in New Jersey since its inception. It's gone.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: But that's what you get when you get liberals in
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: charge who really don't care about the corporations they claim
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to love because they get all the money from them.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: That's it, dropping like flies, all right, Joe, thank you
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: so much. Enjoy enjoy family gather but let's remember the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: good folks who fought in that for us. Thank you, Jim.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And then we go to Maria in Connecticut, Good morning
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to you, Good morning to you.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: I want to tell you before my question, you are
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: a wonderful host for him. Hell, we look forward to
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Park and I get disappointed when there's somebody else.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: But you're really.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Fabulous, honest, honestly, Maria, if I could get I get
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: disappointed too, even when I'm on, because I listened every No,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I'm serious, not that I don't love sitting here, but
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I've said it over and over again. I'm not a liar.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I love the Mark Simon show. And when I tell you,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I listen to this station from nine am on so
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I catch the end of Curtis and I listened to
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the Morning Show. Of course, I've listened to the Morning
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Show Larry and when it was Larry Menty alone, and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: then Larry and Curtis since they came together. I get
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the nine to ten hour because that's when I'm done
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: with my show in New Jersey. Then I listen to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Mark every day. I text him he must say this
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: guy's a pain in my neck. I text Mark during
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the show. I love him so much, but I'm sorry.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Please continue more.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, Oh yeah, well, thank you. My question is
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: about John thou. I don't understand why this is rigging out?
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: Could somebody fire him? Or the other thing I've heard
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: is that unique five senators to put something up a
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: bill or whatever to get rid of him. Why is
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: this going on so long he has the power over
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: like this?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you know the thing. And John Thune, who
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: is the he's the head of the Senate, the Republican
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: in charge, if you will, and yeah, there you know
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: what Thune. Everybody who seems to take office in either
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the House or the Senate and becomes in charge, everyone
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: then starts to say why aren't they doing this? And
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: why aren't they doing that? And apparently so much of
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: it is because it's all about wheeling and dealing, and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: if you don't have enough senators backing what you want,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: you can't put your neck out and go on the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: floor and bring something on the floor because if you're
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: going to lose, you lose credibility. And that's that's really
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: what it comes down to, Maria. But I appreciate the call,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and I understand what you're saying. But you know, knowing
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: people who've been Congress members, and they've told me that
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: that's why what seems to be obvious for us, why
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: don't they just bring it for a vote. It's because
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: they know they don't have the support at that moment,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: and there are one thousand and one reasons why at
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that moment they don't have support. So we'll see. We're
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: going to have a kind of kind of a weekend
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: in terms of weather, but again, it's not about the weather.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: It's about remembering those who died for us. But seven
