Speaker 1: Now the Mark Simone Show on seven ten or filling
0:05
Speaker 1: in for Mark. Here's Ken Rosatto on a Black Friday,
0:09
Speaker 1: hoping you had a good Thanksgiving, that you're nice and full.
0:12
Speaker 1: Isn't it Somethinghow on Thanksgiving you crave and eat so
0:15
Speaker 1: many foods you just don't eat the rest of the year.
0:18
Speaker 1: It's like, honestly, in the middle of July, do you
0:20
Speaker 1: ever say, you know, I could go for a good
0:22
Speaker 1: whole berry cranberry sauce? Right? You just don't. You don't
0:26
Speaker 1: say in September, I want me some stuff and you
0:30
Speaker 1: just don't. But yet when November rolls around and you
0:33
Speaker 1: start thinking Thanksgiving, you just have to have that stuffing
0:36
Speaker 1: and such good. So I went to my brother and
0:38
Speaker 1: sister in law's house and everybody kind of contributed something
0:42
Speaker 1: to the meal. My sister in law is the most
0:44
Speaker 1: amazing cook. Just Carolyn, I love you. She's just unbelievable.
0:48
Speaker 1: Her mom Weezy, we call her Louise. She's an amazing cook.
0:53
Speaker 1: Just everybody, just the food there literally was not one
0:56
Speaker 1: day shit I was saying, I'll go for this and
0:58
Speaker 1: not that. Who's one of those deals? And she had
1:00
Speaker 1: one of those great feasts I'm sure you probably had
1:02
Speaker 1: something similar with your family. If I give us a
1:05
Speaker 1: call and let us know. Eight hundred three to two
1:08
Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. Eight hundred three two one zero
1:11
Speaker 1: seven ten. It's a day like this, we don't have
1:13
Speaker 1: to be super heavy into politics. We get a little
1:15
Speaker 1: light like Vincent from Brooklyn. I love Vincent. Vincent called
1:18
Speaker 1: in and just shared his his recipe for stuffing, which
1:22
Speaker 1: sounded great. Sorry we had to cut him short there
1:24
Speaker 1: at the top of the hour with the news, but
1:26
Speaker 1: that sounded yummy, and going to check that recipe out myself.
1:29
Speaker 1: I got a lot of talk about today. For those
1:31
Speaker 1: that remember me, I used to be at Channel seven.
1:34
Speaker 1: I was there for twenty years as the morning and
1:36
Speaker 1: for about sixteen of those years also the noon anchor.
1:39
Speaker 1: I also did the morning and noon show at Channel five.
1:42
Speaker 1: Ken Rosatto, you may or may not remember me. Just
1:45
Speaker 1: recently talking to my dear friend Laurie Stokes used to
1:47
Speaker 1: be with me at the Channel seven and then she
1:49
Speaker 1: went on to Channel five on her own. But Laurie
1:53
Speaker 1: shared with me her family's a stuffing recipe which I
1:56
Speaker 1: made yesterday, and her stuffing is one of the most
2:00
Speaker 1: delicious stuffings I've ever tasted. It's a combination of whole
2:04
Speaker 1: grain whole wheat bread. And you say, can I'm not
2:06
Speaker 1: into that whole wheat Believe me. It works in the recipe.
2:10
Speaker 1: Mixed with chunks of like a white sour dough, you
2:13
Speaker 1: toast them together with lots of sage time and tons
2:17
Speaker 1: of rosemary, little butter spray we use toast them off.
2:22
Speaker 1: You mix it with some turkey and chicken stock that
2:25
Speaker 1: has garlic and rosemary infused in it, and then you
2:28
Speaker 1: bake that off in the oven with tons of butter
2:31
Speaker 1: and celery and onion. I'm telling you, like right now,
2:34
Speaker 1: I just want to say, all right, put the put
2:35
Speaker 1: tape on. I'm going on beat more of this stuffing.
2:37
Speaker 1: It's that good. We also, if you can check out
2:40
Speaker 1: the website, I have thefood dude dot us. The food
2:44
Speaker 1: dude dot us tons of recipes, including Thanksgiving recipes up there,
2:47
Speaker 1: so check it out. And for those who don't realize
2:51
Speaker 1: what I'm doing these days, a channel called on New
2:53
Speaker 1: Jersey o n NJ dot com Monday through Friday. And
2:56
Speaker 1: that's how I keep myself busy when I'm not privileged
2:59
Speaker 1: to do the radio. Here for the great Mark Simone,
3:01
Speaker 1: So lots of talk about today. Give us a call.
3:03
Speaker 1: Today is Black Friday. Of course you know of any
3:06
Speaker 1: hot bargains you could share with us. We have a
3:08
Speaker 1: guy coming up a little later this hour. His name
3:10
Speaker 1: is Fisher. He is an IT digital expert, so he's
3:14
Speaker 1: into cyber stuff and he is going to tell us
3:17
Speaker 1: about some Cyber Monday deals, which it feels like Black
3:21
Speaker 1: Friday sort of fuses into melds into Cyber Monday. You
3:26
Speaker 1: notice that I'm noticing fewer and fewer people are going
3:29
Speaker 1: to the malls on Black Friday. Instead they just start
3:32
Speaker 1: their Cyber Monday shopping on Black Friday and just take
3:35
Speaker 1: care of things that way. But we'd like to hear
3:37
Speaker 1: what you do. So it's eight hundred and three to
3:38
Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten along the holiday mood? Yet?
3:42
Speaker 1: Did you hear that the Big Holiday light show at
3:45
Speaker 1: Sachs has returned this year after disappearing last year? So
3:49
Speaker 1: the light show takes place every ten minutes five pm
3:53
Speaker 1: to eleven pm through January fourth at sacks Fith Avenue.
3:57
Speaker 1: For those coming from out of town, sacks Fith Avenue's
3:59
Speaker 1: fifth ave between That makes sense, right, Sacksmith Avenue between
4:03
Speaker 1: forty ninth and fiftieth Streets. It's right by the Rockefeller
4:06
Speaker 1: Center tree. So while you're there, go see the tree
4:09
Speaker 1: and go to Sacks see the beautiful light show. It
4:11
Speaker 1: just makes you feel good to be a New Yorker,
4:14
Speaker 1: no matter what your politics, when you come and see
4:16
Speaker 1: that for the holidays. Some sad news, of course, one
4:20
Speaker 1: of the two National Guard members shot in the targeted
4:23
Speaker 1: ambush by the White House died yesterday. She was just
4:25
Speaker 1: twenty years old, and please remember her name and your
4:29
Speaker 1: prayers and remember her family. Sarah Beckstrom. Sarah Beckstrom, twenty
4:35
Speaker 1: year old young woman, volunteered to work the holiday week
4:38
Speaker 1: so other National Guards member National Guard members could be off.
4:42
Speaker 1: And there was another guardsman who was shot along with her,
4:46
Speaker 1: Andrew Wolfe. He was only twenty four. He's in critical condition.
4:49
Speaker 1: He's fighting for his life, according to President Trump. Now,
4:53
Speaker 1: a person driving by the attack on Wednesday with a
4:56
Speaker 1: rolling dash cam claims to have recorded the gunshots. If
5:00
Speaker 1: you feel this is too much, then just kind of
5:01
Speaker 1: cover years for a second. But here's the sound that
5:04
Speaker 1: this person claims were the bullets. I mean, that's terrifying.
5:11
Speaker 1: That was the moment where apparently the attack took place,
5:15
Speaker 1: so we pray for the victims, we pray for their families.
5:19
Speaker 1: And the shooter is identified as twenty nine year old
5:22
Speaker 1: rock Manula Loachonwall, an Afghan national from Washington State, and
5:27
Speaker 1: the motive not yet determined, but he may have been
5:29
Speaker 1: mentally unstable. That doesn't excuse anything. He was shot by
5:34
Speaker 1: a nearby National Guard member and is hospitalized in serious condition,
5:38
Speaker 1: but it looks like he'll survive. President Trump criticized Joe
5:42
Speaker 1: Biden on this, saying the suspect was flown to the
5:44
Speaker 1: US under the Biden administration. Trump confirmed the suspect arrived
5:49
Speaker 1: in the US under a Biden era program that allowed
5:51
Speaker 1: Afghan nationals to enter into the country, and a reporter
5:54
Speaker 1: made the mistake yesterday of asking why the President is
5:57
Speaker 1: blaming Biden for this attack because they let him in.
6:00
Speaker 1: Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person because they
6:03
Speaker 1: came in on a plane along with thousands of other
6:07
Speaker 1: people that shouldn't be here, and you're just asking questions
6:10
Speaker 1: because you're a stupid person. And I would think that
6:13
Speaker 1: a lot of people agree with the President on that
6:15
Speaker 1: the president former President Biden, under this open borders policy
6:21
Speaker 1: that he get. This is the best part is the
6:22
Speaker 1: President Biden kept denying it was an open borders policy. Meanwhile,
6:26
Speaker 1: Fox News was the only news channel at one point,
6:28
Speaker 1: then later Newsmax who went down to the border and
6:31
Speaker 1: you just see hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people
6:34
Speaker 1: every hour just streaming across. And then you'd cut they
6:37
Speaker 1: do a split screen and they'd cut to majorcas testifying
6:40
Speaker 1: before Congress saying the border is secure, the border is secure,
6:43
Speaker 1: the border is secure, just lying ballface, lying to the
6:47
Speaker 1: congress members the border is secure, while Fox was showing
6:51
Speaker 1: the streaming like, who are you gonna believe me or
6:53
Speaker 1: your own lion eyes. So this went on for four years,
6:57
Speaker 1: and that gave us anywhere from ten to twenty. Vice
7:00
Speaker 1: President of Vance even said maybe as many as the
7:02
Speaker 1: thirty million illegals in this country. Now, it would be
7:07
Speaker 1: a lot worse if they were all terrible people, and
7:09
Speaker 1: they're not, obviously, like ninety nine percent are probably wonderful people.
7:13
Speaker 1: So I'm not trying to condemn anybody who everybody who
7:17
Speaker 1: came here illegally, But the fact is it was just
7:19
Speaker 1: a matter of numbers that there would be some people
7:22
Speaker 1: sneaking in who aren't up to the best of thoughts.
7:26
Speaker 1: Who were not coming in. They took advantage of the
7:29
Speaker 1: opportunity to come in. And they probably weren't the greatest
7:33
Speaker 1: people in the society from whence they came. And they
7:35
Speaker 1: came from all over the world, by the way, not
7:37
Speaker 1: any one specific country or any one specific culture, all
7:41
Speaker 1: over the world. We know we have Chinese nationals, we
7:44
Speaker 1: had Egyptians, we had Italians. We had people from all
7:47
Speaker 1: over the world sneaking across the southern border because they
7:50
Speaker 1: knew that that was the easy way and fly into
7:51
Speaker 1: Mexico City, pay somebody to get us up to the border.
7:54
Speaker 1: Then you get up to the border, sneak right in,
7:56
Speaker 1: and you'll be in. And that's it. And the way
7:58
Speaker 1: the Democrats have set things up in this country, it
8:01
Speaker 1: makes it practically impossible to get rid of these people.
8:04
Speaker 1: Trump is trying his best, but at this point, I'm
8:07
Speaker 1: sure the Trump administration was hoping they'd have two or
8:10
Speaker 1: three times as many people kicked out of this country
8:13
Speaker 1: versus now. And I love how you have so many
8:15
Speaker 1: Americans saying, yeah, but this person was nonviolent. Why are
8:18
Speaker 1: you getting rid of them? You know you're here illegally
8:20
Speaker 1: you're here illegally. And that's that we have laws for
8:23
Speaker 1: a reason. I know we all. I guarantee everyone listening
8:27
Speaker 1: knows somebody who is not here legally, or knows somebody
8:30
Speaker 1: who knows somebody once removed, twice removed, who is not
8:33
Speaker 1: here legally. Oh, such and such has a friend who's
8:36
Speaker 1: not here legally. And you have to understand as nice
8:39
Speaker 1: as the person is. Right now, President Trump is making
8:42
Speaker 1: a deal with those people. If they're non criminals and
8:45
Speaker 1: they're just here, they're nice people, President Trump says, listen,
8:48
Speaker 1: download the CBB app. Okay, say that you're going to
8:51
Speaker 1: leave by a certain point, you'll be safe. At that point,
8:54
Speaker 1: you have to guarantee you'll be gone with your family.
8:56
Speaker 1: At that point, the country will pay for your line
9:00
Speaker 1: ticket and your family to go back to your country
9:03
Speaker 1: of origin. And when you can show proof that you
9:06
Speaker 1: are back in your country of origin, they will send
9:09
Speaker 1: you the US government a check for one thousand dollars.
9:12
Speaker 1: I mean, no other country on the planet does that.
9:15
Speaker 1: And then once you've done all that, you can now
9:17
Speaker 1: legally apply and you can use as part of your argument.
9:21
Speaker 1: While I was in the United States, I worked for
9:24
Speaker 1: these people or I did this, and they'll write a
9:26
Speaker 1: letter for me that will help you along the process.
9:29
Speaker 1: So there's a way to come back legally and become
9:32
Speaker 1: part of the fabrics of our society, you know. So
9:35
Speaker 1: it's not that every single person who's not here legally
9:38
Speaker 1: the President just doesn't like them because they're foreign born. No. No,
9:42
Speaker 1: we have a system to come into this country so
9:45
Speaker 1: people can come here and integrate into society and become Americans.
9:51
Speaker 1: As opposed to bringing your culture and keeping your culture
9:54
Speaker 1: exactly as is. Your culture should contribute to the fabric.
9:58
Speaker 1: It shouldn't become the fabric. Seven w R. The Voice
10:02
Speaker 1: of New York is Ken Rozotto infro Mark on Black Friday,
10:06
Speaker 1: the day after the Big Feast. I don't know if
10:08
Speaker 1: you heard this. The National Weather Services Climate Prediction Center
10:12
Speaker 1: says we could likely expect colder than normal weather in
10:16
Speaker 1: the northern and northeastern US. In fact, some forecasters say
10:20
Speaker 1: the so called polar vortex could run a little out
10:23
Speaker 1: of control and send some of the Earth's most extreme
10:26
Speaker 1: cold right toward us. Why an't we talking? Things would
10:30
Speaker 1: start chilling down a lot the first week of December.
10:33
Speaker 1: That's next week. If you're not keeping track and then
10:36
Speaker 1: get ready for bitter cold by the second and third
10:39
Speaker 1: weeks of December. Excuse me, I accidentally unplugged my headphones
10:42
Speaker 1: on they bend over and plug them back in. There
10:44
Speaker 1: were Ah, here we go. My headphones have a short
10:48
Speaker 1: in them, and I keep wiggling the cable and then
10:50
Speaker 1: I accidentally pulled it out. Sorry to get Technicalainia there.
10:53
Speaker 1: I got it back all right, So it's gonna be
10:55
Speaker 1: really cool. So by the second and third weeks of December,
10:58
Speaker 1: you're gonna feel a real chill down. So I always
11:01
Speaker 1: talk to weather forecasting friends meteorologists about this because I'm
11:05
Speaker 1: sort of an amateur weather geek, and every year, sometime
11:09
Speaker 1: between mid December and mid January, we get that blast
11:12
Speaker 1: one to two weeks of single digits overnight frigid, you know, cold,
11:16
Speaker 1: et cetera. So it looks like it's going to be
11:18
Speaker 1: early this year. For those that don't know about the
11:20
Speaker 1: polar vortex, I only know about it because when I
11:22
Speaker 1: was at Channel seven, I remember hearing meteorologist Jeff Smith
11:25
Speaker 1: talk about it, and I said, what the hell is
11:27
Speaker 1: the polar vortex? Never heard of that? And yeah, it's
11:30
Speaker 1: a real thing. It's apparently the way, it's sort of
11:33
Speaker 1: a batch of air that usually hovers over the North
11:37
Speaker 1: Pole right in our case, and at certain times, just
11:41
Speaker 1: because of air masses, temperatures, ocean temperatures, et cetera, sometimes
11:46
Speaker 1: it just dips away from the pole and as it
11:48
Speaker 1: comes down it brings with it the frigid polar air,
11:51
Speaker 1: and they call it the polar vortex. So there you go.
11:55
Speaker 1: The question is will snow accompany the bitter cold? Not always.
12:00
Speaker 1: I remember another meteorologist, Bill Evans, I used to work
12:03
Speaker 1: with Channel seven. He used to say, sometimes it's so cold,
12:06
Speaker 1: the era is dry, and you don't have snow. It
12:09
Speaker 1: could actually be too cold to snow. So they're not
12:12
Speaker 1: positive yet. The good news is it'll actually be a
12:14
Speaker 1: little warmer than usual over Florida. So in the next
12:17
Speaker 1: few weeks, maybe you can make a little ditch down
12:19
Speaker 1: to Florida and get away from the cold and spend
12:22
Speaker 1: some time in the warmth. Seven ten WR the Voice
12:25
Speaker 1: of New York. So who would you like to see
12:27
Speaker 1: president in twenty twenty eight? Now, the constitution prevents President
12:31
Speaker 1: Trump from holding a third term, though if you think
12:34
Speaker 1: about it, here bear with me for a second. The
12:37
Speaker 1: Constitution says nothing about running for a third term. It
12:40
Speaker 1: just says you can't be a third term president. Since
12:44
Speaker 1: you know, they passed the law since President Fdr. Franklin
12:48
Speaker 1: Dell and Roosevelt served, he was elected four times, and
12:51
Speaker 1: then they passed the law that you can only be
12:53
Speaker 1: elected twice to president. But it says nothing about running
12:56
Speaker 1: for president for a third term. So here's my theory.
12:59
Speaker 1: I know, what would happen if President Trump, he has
13:03
Speaker 1: a billion dollars to waste? What would happen if President
13:05
Speaker 1: Trump were to run for a third term and if
13:09
Speaker 1: he got elected to a third term. Now you would say, well,
13:12
Speaker 1: you can't serve, right, But the American people would have spoken.
13:16
Speaker 1: So would the Supreme Court get involved and negate the
13:19
Speaker 1: will of the people. I mean, look, we have a
13:21
Speaker 1: lot of laws of Democrats choose not to enforce, but
13:24
Speaker 1: we let them get away with it. Right. For four years,
13:26
Speaker 1: Joe Biden ordered border patrol agents to ignore the border
13:29
Speaker 1: laws that we have on the books. Let anybody who
13:32
Speaker 1: wants to stroll into the US stay. That's what brought
13:34
Speaker 1: us the mess. We have twenty thirty million illegals in
13:36
Speaker 1: our country living in the shadows and not paying taxes,
13:39
Speaker 1: taking jobs away from tax paying Americans, jamming their classrooms,
13:43
Speaker 1: congesting our highways, filling apartment rentals so you can't get
13:46
Speaker 1: an apartment, you can't buy a house. Democrats in cities
13:49
Speaker 1: like New York ordered police not to arrest many criminals
13:51
Speaker 1: because they wouldn't get prosecuted. Da Alvin Bragg put out
13:55
Speaker 1: that manifesto as he entered office, telling the city in
13:58
Speaker 1: the world he intends on not prosecute a huge number
14:00
Speaker 1: of crimes to kind of set the record straight for
14:04
Speaker 1: groups that were unfairly punished in the past. Now we
14:06
Speaker 1: have to go the other way. Even though these people
14:08
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with people fifty years ago were
14:10
Speaker 1: going to change things. It was his way of trying
14:13
Speaker 1: to do what he believed was correcting or wrong. So
14:16
Speaker 1: even though duly elected legislators voted in laws that were
14:19
Speaker 1: signed off on by a governor or a mayor, Alvin
14:22
Speaker 1: Bragg single handedly decided, you know what, now they're not
14:25
Speaker 1: worth enforcing, even though he took an oath to uphold
14:28
Speaker 1: the constitution of the City of New York, State of
14:29
Speaker 1: New York, federal government. So my point is, if democrats
14:32
Speaker 1: can randomly choose what laws to follow and what laws
14:35
Speaker 1: to ignore. Why can't Republicans do the same. Let President
14:39
Speaker 1: Trump run for a third term. If a majority of
14:41
Speaker 1: people voted vote him in, why not let him serve.
14:44
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it sounds preposterous. Twenty five years ago,
14:47
Speaker 1: it would have sounded preposterous to open our borders to
14:50
Speaker 1: anybody who wanted to stroll in. It would have sounded
14:52
Speaker 1: preposterous for local municipalities to ignore federal marijuana laws and
14:56
Speaker 1: lets people walk down the street smoke in a joint unencumbered.
14:59
Speaker 1: It would have sounded proposers to even discuss legalizing prostitution,
15:03
Speaker 1: and it certainly would have sounded preposterous to legalize gay marriage.
15:06
Speaker 1: My point is the way Democrats push forward their liberal
15:09
Speaker 1: agenda is they start talking about it, then they let
15:13
Speaker 1: the talk build, then to indoctrinate college students and younger
15:16
Speaker 1: kids in school, then to push their theories on big
15:19
Speaker 1: liberal cities. Then they bring it mainstream once they get
15:23
Speaker 1: their sikaphant media flunkies to report on their craziness as
15:26
Speaker 1: if it's normal. But I digress. New polls show that
15:31
Speaker 1: previously supported twenty twenty a GOP presidential candidate front runner
15:35
Speaker 1: VP JD. Vance may be slipping a little. McLaughlin and
15:38
Speaker 1: Associates polling says that President Trump's son, Donald Trump Junior
15:43
Speaker 1: may be the favorite. According to the polling in August,
15:46
Speaker 1: Vance had a twenty point lead over Trump Junior, not
15:48
Speaker 1: that Trump even announced he wants to run, But now
15:51
Speaker 1: it looks like they're pretty close to neck and neck.
15:54
Speaker 1: So who would you vote for on the Republican side
15:57
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty eight for president? We'd love to know
15:59
Speaker 1: what you have to say. Seven ten wr the Voice
