  Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Wo on Ken Fromart Today. Here's Ken Rosatto and we
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: go straight through our busy phone Steve in Manhattan. You're
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: alive on the air Friday morning.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Good morning to you, right, Ken, and it's great to
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: have you when you're filling them from off, it's really good.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: The thing is about Luigi Mangioni. I noticed they love
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: using his name, but people just don't want to use
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: the names. Like the guy who shot the two godsmen
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: last week and murdered one of them, Lockingwall is his name.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: They never hear them use his name. His name is
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: out of the cycle. There's also a lunatic back in June,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: people forgetting both of Colorado. He fired bombed a bunch
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: of old ladies that was mohammed Soilman and even murdering
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: one of the old ladies with a firebomb. You never
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: hear his name repeated out. It just seems to be
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: a frenzy with this guy Luigi's name going on. And
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: even with the guys who shot shot at Trump, Matthew Crooks,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: they don't say his name really. Even at the Bomba
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: they called him the Bomba or you know, the alleged
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: bomber and stuff. They won't use his name. I find
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: that to be not weird, but I find it to
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: be something in society that I know a lot of
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Tinian Americans an anti Italian American thing where they get
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: into a frenzy. You say this guy's name, but the
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: guy who shot the godsmen don't even know the guy's name.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Well, remember remember this if I got I got a pause,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you only because we're only have about thirty seconds left
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to break it to the bottom of the hour here.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: But just to let you know, part of it is,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I think is the fact that it's Luigi Manngoni and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: he looks like the character from Luigi Brothers and whatnot.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And I think they've made fun of that. Uh, not
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that you're we're talking about a guy who's attempted or
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: i'm sorry, an alleged murderer here, but you know, just
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: just that's part of it. I think you're not wrong.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I get it. It's like if if somebody is in
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: a large group of people, they're easier to poke fun at.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And so we've we've had a lot of people poke
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: fun at Italian Americans, and yet Italian Americans don't push
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: back as much.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I see what you're saying, and you're not wrong there.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: But I will say I have been mentioning those other
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: names myself. It all depends on the individual. I think
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: it's easier to say Luigi Manngoni than it is to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: say some of the other names. For a lot of
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the announcers, it's lazy, but I think that may be
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the simple answer as to why the other names don't
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: get mentioned as much. We go over to Frank in Manhattan,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: good morning.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good morning. I'm with it into borrough h for
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: a outreach organization of profit, and we did a survey
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: of Bronx Manhattan and Brooklyn of an average of eight
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: hundred plus people who appear homeless, and we did it
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: on tape and we did it written down, and out
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: of it we realized one critical thing that at least
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: ten to fifteen percent of them are homeless for two reasons.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: First of all, they have very very low incomes. They're
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: not employable because of age of disability and some events,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: and the number of apartments available. If you have an apartment,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: good luck if you tell but your characterization that it's
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: a very real thing that people are homeless for lack
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: of money or whatever on the parents' side or whatever's
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: that's very inaccurate. And there's no coach drives, by the way,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: for the homeless. They stopped that this year.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but frank here, with all due respect,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I could cite about six different surveys that show just
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the opposite. And we've done this. I worked at Channel
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: seven twenty years. We used to have these studies year
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: after year after year, you know, and for with all
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: due respect, I mean, anyone could call and say, we
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: did a survey, we have it on tape. Well, let's
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: see the tape. You know, when you see people wallowing
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in urine in the street, and by the way, you
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: could very well have sadly, a veteran who is also
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you know, you could put the two together. You could
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: have a veteran who is a drug addict who is
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: on the street. So just because I'm saying they are
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a drug addict, they could be a veteran who is
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a drug addict. And that is a shame that a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: society we have let this happen. But to say that
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: we have just the average mom, dad's son, you know what,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I've lived in and around Manhattan and fifty eight years old.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I don't see that the nice, neat little family on
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the street that you're trying to talk about and trying
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: to paint the picture of sorry just doesn't exist, or
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: at least not in the numbers you're talking about. Robin
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Franklin Square, good morning, Good morning.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry. You know, I'm a retired try police officer
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: and trains a police officer. I just I kind of
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: disagree with you a little bit. Invariably, when the perpetrator
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: commits a crime, if the perpetrate, they'll put a description
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: over the air, like say five eighty pounds and local
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: news channel seven to and four, sometimes the network a
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: lot of times in the paper like news data. I
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: get if they don't put the if you put just
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: put up a descriptions like that, that's three hundred and
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: fifty million people. Now, you said, if you say if
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: the person is black, you're categorizing them as it like
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: one in a million people. But a description like that
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: is kind of useless.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, I got to Rob, I gotta cut you
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: because it's ten thirty three it's time for news. But
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just to clarify, I'm not saying you're wrong there.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying is if you only have a description,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and years ago, I remember when I started in TV
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: news in the market, if sometimes you would have we're
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: looking for twenty four year old African American men. That
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: is not fair because there could be one hundred twenty
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: four year old African American men and every one of
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: them is going to get stopped. But if you say
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you have a twenty four year old African American man
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: with a scar underneath his left eye, he has hazel eyes,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and he has dreads and he's about five ft ten
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: and wearing brown pants, that is a description to look for, okay,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And that's that's where you're talking about, you know, clarification.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to go down that path. All I'm
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: saying is it was unusual to me that CNN simply
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: had the description that was red was a white guy
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: who's thirty, you know. But we already had his picture
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: on and he wasn't a white guy and didn't even
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: look thirty, by the way, But we're showing his picture
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and saying the wrong thing. Clearly, somebody got it wrong
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: at CNN, And I'm just saying I didn't get an
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: apology or didn't hear an apology from them, and I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: think they should clarify seven ten wor at the time
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: now is ten thirty three, and coming up next, we're
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: going to speak with Fox News legal analyst Greg Jarrett.
