Speaker 1: Now the Mark Simone Show on seven ten woor filling
0:05
Speaker 1: in for Mark, here's Ken Rosatto. Yes, yes, yes, the
0:09
Speaker 1: end of the week is here. Mark has the day off,
0:11
Speaker 1: and it's good to be here. Former New York City
0:13
Speaker 1: TV news anchor GUYE. Ken Rosatto in, and you probably
0:16
Speaker 1: best remember me for the twenty years I spent anchoring
0:20
Speaker 1: the morning show at Channel seven.
0:21
Speaker 2: I was a Channel five before that.
0:23
Speaker 1: Nowadays I get the host a daily show on a
0:26
Speaker 1: New Jersey based news channel called on New Jersey. You
0:30
Speaker 1: could stream it live or watch reruns at o NNJ
0:33
Speaker 1: dot com. And I run a food website for all
0:35
Speaker 1: you foodies, Thefooddude dot us. Thefooddude dot Us. We've got
0:40
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about to wrap up this busy
0:43
Speaker 1: news week. We want to hear from you too. Don't
0:45
Speaker 1: just sit there, want you to pick up the phone
0:47
Speaker 1: and call one eight hundred and three two one zero
0:51
Speaker 1: seven ten. Hey, we got some sad breaking news out
0:54
Speaker 1: of San Antonio, Texas. Police there are saying that there
0:58
Speaker 1: was a twenty one year old illegal alien who fatally
1:01
Speaker 1: shot three people just over an hour ago at what
1:03
Speaker 1: may be his place of work. Now he and his family,
1:07
Speaker 1: According to police illegally entered the US back in twenty nineteen,
1:11
Speaker 1: and they were supposed to appear at a court hearing
1:13
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, but authorities say they failed to
1:16
Speaker 1: show up. Now three Americans are dead banks to the
1:20
Speaker 1: Biden administration doing nothing about this guy in twenty twenty
1:23
Speaker 1: two when he was supposed to be removed from our country.
1:27
Speaker 1: But these things have consequences. Okay, it doesn't mean that
1:32
Speaker 1: everybody who came here illegally is going to be a murderer, clearly,
1:35
Speaker 1: most or not. But the thing is, when you lose
1:38
Speaker 1: track of people, you don't know who they are, what
1:39
Speaker 1: their background is, why they're here, and then you lose
1:42
Speaker 1: track of them, things like this happen and you have
1:45
Speaker 1: three tax paying, hard working, good US citizens dead because
1:51
Speaker 1: the Biden administration let this guy in, lost track of him,
1:55
Speaker 1: and now he ended up according to authorities, they say
1:57
Speaker 1: that he killed three people they believe was his place
2:01
Speaker 1: of work in Texas, San Antonio, seven ten wy. And
2:05
Speaker 1: you know, we keep saying the nation is so polarized.
2:08
Speaker 1: Now we may know for fact that it may be
2:10
Speaker 1: because according to NBC News, they just conducted a poll
2:15
Speaker 1: and check this out. The NBC News poll shows eighty
2:18
Speaker 1: two percent of Republicans say they have friends who are Democrats.
2:23
Speaker 1: When you ask democrats, do you have any friends who
2:25
Speaker 1: are Republicans, only sixty four percent of Democrats say they
2:29
Speaker 1: have a friend who's a Republican. And if you recall,
2:32
Speaker 1: I've said this before Dan Bongino, before he became the
2:35
Speaker 1: Deputy Director of the FBI, when he was a talk
2:38
Speaker 1: show host, he used to say, Republicans think Democrats are
2:42
Speaker 1: good people with bad ideas, while Democrats think Republicans are
2:47
Speaker 1: bad people, and that's why there's no dialogue. That's why
2:51
Speaker 1: they're so dialogue. Republicans, my Republican friends are always willing
2:54
Speaker 1: to sit down and talk, and they don't get animated,
2:56
Speaker 1: and they don't scream, and they don't go out with
2:59
Speaker 1: green hair and those rings, protesting, screaming, burning police cars. No,
3:03
Speaker 1: that is a feature of the left. The right doesn't
3:07
Speaker 1: do that. It's just not part of the mo of
3:09
Speaker 1: the right. If you have a disagreement, we'll sit down
3:12
Speaker 1: and talk. I want to know what you have to say.
3:15
Speaker 1: But unfortunately the left doesn't have that same opinion. Their
3:20
Speaker 1: object is to shut you down because they need to
3:24
Speaker 1: convince you of their way of life, of their thought process,
3:28
Speaker 1: and as long as that's the case, there will be
3:30
Speaker 1: no dialect. They don't want dialogue. They don't want dialect.
3:33
Speaker 1: They want to shut you down, dispatch you if necessary,
3:36
Speaker 1: in order to make their way of life the way
3:39
Speaker 1: of life.
3:39
Speaker 2: And that's that.
3:41
Speaker 1: So what did you think about this lunatic? On the
3:43
Speaker 1: Upper east Side? If you haven't heard, there was a
3:45
Speaker 1: guy with a gun who was killed in a shootout
3:47
Speaker 1: with police after he apparently pointed his gun at a
3:51
Speaker 1: guy in a building elevator. First, then he later ran
3:55
Speaker 1: into a deli and he threatened to shoot up the deli,
3:58
Speaker 1: then he to shoot up a hospital. Now cops ended
4:02
Speaker 1: up shooting the man. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
4:06
Speaker 1: No word at this point what was going on if
4:08
Speaker 1: he was mentally challenged. But this brings up Zorn, Yes,
4:13
Speaker 1: mayor to be Zoran. You know all he'll tell you
4:17
Speaker 1: back when you ask him questions about things like this
4:20
Speaker 1: is gobbledegook.
4:21
Speaker 3: Police have a critical role to play in creating public safety,
4:24
Speaker 3: and I speak to those officers on the beat. I
4:26
Speaker 3: hear a frustration from them that we're asking them to
4:28
Speaker 3: do more than just focus on serious crimes. We're asking
4:31
Speaker 3: them to do the work of mental health professionals and
4:33
Speaker 3: so are nots, and that reliance on having them deal
4:36
Speaker 3: with almost every failure of the social safety net is
4:39
Speaker 3: making it impossible for them to tackle those crimes.
4:41
Speaker 2: No, just arrest them. I don't need, you know what.
4:44
Speaker 1: I don't need the police officer to sit there and
4:47
Speaker 1: do a question and answer therapy period where he says, so,
4:50
Speaker 1: how are you feeling right now?
4:52
Speaker 2: If a guy's breaking the law? All right?
4:54
Speaker 1: Granted, you can't treat every situation the same.
4:57
Speaker 2: I get it.
4:58
Speaker 1: My dad was a cop. There's a gentleman who calls
5:00
Speaker 1: from the Carolinas who's a cop.
5:01
Speaker 2: I know. Listen.
5:02
Speaker 1: I was raised with cops, raised with law enforcement, raised
5:05
Speaker 1: with lawyers in the family and among friends.
5:07
Speaker 2: I get it.
5:08
Speaker 1: Every circumstance is different. But a police officer, they have
5:11
Speaker 1: a hard enough job and they don't get paid anywhere
5:13
Speaker 1: near what they should. And as far as I'm concerned,
5:16
Speaker 1: give them the tools and let them arrest and then
5:20
Speaker 1: we'll deal with them later. If the individual being arrested
5:23
Speaker 1: needs mental health, I don't need the cop to do that,
5:25
Speaker 1: and I don't need to send a dime store psychologist
5:28
Speaker 1: out to every crime and let them diagnose in ten
5:31
Speaker 1: seconds somebody who has a knife andeness threatening to kill
5:34
Speaker 1: their families or on. That's not the way it works, okay,
5:37
Speaker 1: but that's the way this this socialist wants it to
5:40
Speaker 1: be in this city. It's unbelievable. He wants to deploy
5:44
Speaker 1: social workers instead of police to respond to nine to
5:46
Speaker 1: one one calls like this. What would have happened if
5:50
Speaker 1: a therapist showed up and this guy had a gone
5:53
Speaker 1: and he's going threatening to shoot up a hospital with
5:55
Speaker 1: a therapist have said, why don't we sit down and discuss.
5:57
Speaker 1: I want to know what you're feeling. Yeah, you see
6:00
Speaker 1: how that works. Actually, we find out that this has
6:03
Speaker 1: been actually tested since earlier in the year and very
6:07
Speaker 1: quietly tested. In fact, and published reports say that early
6:11
Speaker 1: results of this program it's called be Heard. Yes, okay,
6:15
Speaker 1: we know you have a gun and you're frustrated, but
6:17
Speaker 1: I want you to be heard. It shows that it is
6:20
Speaker 1: not a good plan. So Mamdani has proposed shifting one
6:24
Speaker 1: point one billion dollars toward the Department of Community Safety
6:29
Speaker 1: for this plan. Apparently, an audit was conducted in May
6:32
Speaker 1: by the city Controller and it was determined this thing
6:35
Speaker 1: is an utter failure. I mean, Mamdanni hasn't even taken
6:39
Speaker 1: off as yet to put it into play, but we
6:41
Speaker 1: know it doesn't work.
6:42
Speaker 2: Apparently, sixty percent of.
6:44
Speaker 1: The calls that came in for what would have been
6:47
Speaker 1: mental health responses, they were deemed ineligible. And there are
6:51
Speaker 1: a bunch of reasons why we can get into and
6:53
Speaker 1: more than thirty five percent of the so called eligible
6:57
Speaker 1: calls from mental health professionals never got a response. And
7:00
Speaker 1: for this, mom, Donnie wants to spend over a billion
7:02
Speaker 1: dollars of your tax payer money. Remember when to Blasio's
7:06
Speaker 1: wife got this a billion dollars to Blasio had allocated
7:09
Speaker 1: to deal with people who are homeless, and after a
7:12
Speaker 1: couple of years we asked where did that money go?
7:14
Speaker 1: And you couldn't account for it. They had no idea
7:15
Speaker 1: and nothing was done. It's just a billion dollars. I mean,
7:18
Speaker 1: come on, why do you think? And is this a bill?
7:21
Speaker 1: What's a billion dollars these days?
7:24
Speaker 2: Please?
7:25
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. Certain people get a pass. Sadly, I think people
7:30
Speaker 1: will get hurt or worse. You will see crime rising
7:33
Speaker 1: all over the city. And now Zoran is insisting on
7:37
Speaker 1: pushing to raise taxes for those free buses and childcare.
7:42
Speaker 3: You know, I've said time and again that I believe
7:44
Speaker 3: these are the most straightforward ways that we can actually
7:46
Speaker 3: fund universal childcare, making buses fast and free. And I've
7:50
Speaker 3: said that the two clear ways to do so raising
7:52
Speaker 3: personal income taxes on the top one percent by two percent,
7:55
Speaker 3: and raising the corporate tax to match that of New
7:56
Speaker 3: Jersey's corporate tax of eleven point five percent. Now, if
7:59
Speaker 3: there are other ways to raise this money to fund
8:01
Speaker 3: this agenda, the most important thing is that we fund
8:03
Speaker 3: the agenda.
8:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the most important thing, funding the agenda. You
8:06
Speaker 1: know what the translation of that is, let's get money
8:09
Speaker 1: out of people's pockets and into my agenda.
8:11
Speaker 2: That's what it is.
8:12
Speaker 1: So some bad news for Zoram Governor Hokol, who controls
8:16
Speaker 1: the purse strings with the state legislature. By the way,
8:19
Speaker 1: not you already said there is no money to provide
8:22
Speaker 1: free buses. I cannot set forth a plan right now
8:26
Speaker 1: that takes money out of a system that relies on
8:28
Speaker 1: the fares of the buses and the subways. Oh and
8:32
Speaker 1: as for that universal healthcare that you wanted to provide,
8:35
Speaker 1: for free hokl also said there's no money for that, Zoron, sorry,
8:39
Speaker 1: and she's repeatedly pledged there would be no increase in
8:42
Speaker 1: taxes full stop. But mister Mumdannie is unrelenting.
8:46
Speaker 3: The most important thing is not how we fund it,
8:49
Speaker 3: but that we fund it. I think these are the
8:50
Speaker 3: most direct ways to do so. But any funding stream
8:53
Speaker 3: that would fund these programs, that is one that we
8:56
Speaker 3: would welcome.
8:57
Speaker 1: Hmm, Well, it ain't happening. There's no money. You can't
9:00
Speaker 1: pull like what do they say, you can't get blud
9:02
Speaker 1: from a stone. And if you heard Larry MENTI I
9:05
Speaker 1: listened to Larry every day, just heard him a little
9:06
Speaker 1: while ago saying this. He said, if you can't get
9:08
Speaker 1: money for the buses, and you can't get money for
9:10
Speaker 1: the universal health care, we're gonna get the moundy for
9:12
Speaker 1: the free supermarkets there, Zoron, it's not America. This is
9:17
Speaker 1: not a communist state. And yes, when it gets down
9:20
Speaker 1: to free, just walk in and grab stuff like it's
9:22
Speaker 1: a CVS. And you will only arrest people who steal
9:25
Speaker 1: more than one thousand dollars worth of stuff at a time.
9:28
Speaker 1: This is no longer America. This is no longer America.
9:31
Speaker 1: It's a system that cannot work. I love how the
9:33
Speaker 1: left loves to use terms like sustainable. How is it
9:36
Speaker 1: sustainable if people just walk in and take stuff for free,
9:39
Speaker 1: and walk out to a bus and get on the
9:41
Speaker 1: bus for free and drop off your kid. You're going
9:44
Speaker 1: to trust someplace to take care of your child for
9:47
Speaker 1: free and you have no say in what goes on
9:50
Speaker 1: there when you're gone. Yeah, good luck with that, Zoron.
9:53
Speaker 1: What happens the first time there's a lawsuit with one
9:55
Speaker 1: of these free universal healthcare is because somebody's child accidentally
9:59
Speaker 1: falls in, gets hurt or gets there's an accusation of abuse,
10:03
Speaker 1: physical or sexual. What's going to happen then with this
10:06
Speaker 1: free universal healthcare?
10:07
Speaker 2: Z are on?
10:07
Speaker 1: I'm just curious about that. Seven ten wo r The
10:11
Speaker 1: Voice of New York one eight hundred three two one
10:14
Speaker 1: zero seven ten one eight hundred three two one zero
10:17
Speaker 1: seven ten.
10:18
Speaker 2: Mark has the day off.
10:20
Speaker 1: This is Ken Rozzatto in for him and what looks
10:22
Speaker 1: like the ultimate middle finger to incoming anti Israel mayor Mamdani.
10:28
Speaker 1: The current mayor, Eric Adams is off two Israel right now.
10:31
Speaker 1: It's a final trip there as mayor of New York.
10:34
Speaker 1: But of course, of all the places he could have gone,
10:36
Speaker 1: he chose Israel. Remember, the highest concentration of Jews in
10:40
Speaker 1: the entire world outside of Tel Aviv is right here
10:44
Speaker 1: in New York. They are part of the backbone of
10:47
Speaker 1: this city. That's why it is so shocking that a
10:49
Speaker 1: man who has such anti Israel policies and beliefs is
10:53
Speaker 1: now the mayor of this city. And remember, Mamdani has
10:57
Speaker 1: threatened to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin and Yahoo arrested
11:01
Speaker 1: should he set foot.
11:02
Speaker 2: In New York.
11:03
Speaker 1: Remember, though Zoron, that the Prime Minister would have diplomatic immunity,
11:08
Speaker 1: and if you touch him, there would be an international
11:12
Speaker 1: scene like nobody's business, and you would have to deal
11:15
Speaker 1: with our federal government coming in guns of blason if
11:18
Speaker 1: you touch the Prime Minister of Israel. So I'd almost
11:22
Speaker 1: like to see Mayor Mamdani try it. I would love
11:25
Speaker 1: to see him try it, because he would probably get
11:27
Speaker 1: arrested as a result. Seven ten w R The Voice
11:31
Speaker 1: of New York. So another leftist lunatic has made headlines
11:34
Speaker 1: this week. This Tama guy showed up at the Newark
11:38
Speaker 1: office of Acting US Attorney Alena Habba. This happened Wednesday evening.
11:42
Speaker 1: The FBI says the guy originally he walks up to
11:45
Speaker 1: the building. It's a secure building. He walks up to
11:47
Speaker 1: the building with a big old bat, goes, you know,
11:50
Speaker 1: up to the metal detector. Yeah, I want to come in.
11:52
Speaker 1: First of all, it's after hours. Secondly he has a bat,
11:55
Speaker 1: All right it's and third it's downtown New York. Good
11:57
Speaker 1: luck with all three of those things. So apparently security said, ah, me,
12:01
Speaker 1: thinks you'd better walk outside, dude, and he left, comes
12:04
Speaker 1: back five minutes later, d like he was never there
12:07
Speaker 1: the first time. This time he left the bat on
12:09
Speaker 1: the sidewalk. And here's what's even more amazing. Security let
12:13
Speaker 1: him in. Yeah, good idea. So the guy then went
12:17
Speaker 1: to the floor where Miss Habba's office is and began
12:20
Speaker 1: yelling incoherently and smashing property. It is unclear whether he
12:24
Speaker 1: made specific threats against Miss Habba, but why else would
12:27
Speaker 1: he go to her floor after hours and go to
12:29
Speaker 1: her office. So the cops are now trying to find
12:32
Speaker 1: the guy. Shouldn't be hard. Just look for the guy
12:33
Speaker 1: with the bat.
12:35
Speaker 2: Uh have you heard this?
12:36
Speaker 1: Sixth story wealthy so called sniper tourists. Yeah, listen up.
12:42
Speaker 1: Sniper tourists allegedly paid ninety thousand dollars apiece to shoot
12:48
Speaker 1: human beings during human safari trips to Sarajevo in the
12:52
Speaker 1: nineteen nineties, and they paid an extra fee if they
12:55
Speaker 1: wanted to shoot children. Listen to this insane This is
13:02
Speaker 1: according to some crazy claims being looked into now by
13:05
Speaker 1: Italian prosecutors. This is actually being thought of as really
13:09
Speaker 1: happening because there are a number of people who claim
13:12
Speaker 1: it did not just one. The investigation began after an
13:16
Speaker 1: Italian writer reported that he uncovered evidence that wealthy gun
13:19
Speaker 1: enthusiasts I guess had too much to do with their money.
13:22
Speaker 1: They were dubbed sniper tourists. They paid Bosnian Serb forces
13:26
Speaker 1: for the chance to gun down residents at random. During
13:30
Speaker 1: the four year siege of the city. More than ten
13:32
Speaker 1: thousand people were killed not by the sniper tourists, but
13:35
Speaker 1: in Sarajevo by overall snipers and shelling from ninety two
13:39
Speaker 1: to ninety six because they had the Balkan Wars. It's
13:42
Speaker 1: not known if those numbers, though, include anyone who may
13:45
Speaker 1: have been part of this alleged human Safari story. But
13:48
Speaker 1: you know they're going to be looking more into this,
13:49
Speaker 1: and that is sick if it is in fact true.
13:52
Speaker 1: Seven ten war The Voice of New York Friday Morning,
13:55
Speaker 1: Ken Rozzatto in for Mark and did you hear that
13:57
Speaker 1: lawmakers in DC were making twenty grand each at the
14:00
Speaker 1: expense of American taxpayers while the government was shut down
14:05
Speaker 1: over the forty three days of Democrats wouldn't even consider
14:08
Speaker 1: advancing the continuing resolution. Okay, it cost the economy fifteen
14:12
Speaker 1: billion dollars a week, and by federal law.
14:15
Speaker 2: They had to be paid.
14:17
Speaker 1: The constitution actually demands it. Although a number of elected
14:20
Speaker 1: officials did say they would forego collecting their salary, but
14:23
Speaker 1: most collected. Yeah, think about that during that time. That's
14:27
Speaker 1: why they had no problem letting it keep going on
14:29
Speaker 1: and on while TSA agents and air traffic controllers and
14:33
Speaker 1: people trying to collect their snap to feed their kids
14:35
Speaker 1: didn't get their money. Pretty disgusting. And the likes of
14:38
Speaker 1: CHUCKI Chuck Schumer were behind keeping the government shut and
14:42
Speaker 1: by the way, the Democrats gained nothing from it during
14:45
Speaker 1: that period. I just don't want to hear one. If
14:47
Speaker 1: you want to set me off, tell me it was
14:49
Speaker 1: the Republicans that kept the government shut. That's when I
14:52
Speaker 1: lose my relatively cool demeanor and lose it at that
14:54
Speaker 1: point in a big way. And we should mention Lady Gaga.
14:58
Speaker 1: She did a story in ro Rolling Stone. She says
15:01
Speaker 1: she is lucky to be alive. There's a story in
15:02
Speaker 1: Rolling Stone that says that while she was filming A
15:05
Speaker 1: Star Is Born back in twenty seventeen, she ended up
15:08
Speaker 1: suffering a psychotic break. She says she had to do
15:12
Speaker 1: the movie on lithium. Lady Gaga says that she had
15:15
Speaker 1: to cancel Joanne World tour, which was scheduled right after
15:19
Speaker 1: the filming. No word on what her situation is right now.
15:22
Speaker 1: I have met her parents in the past. They're lovely people.
15:25
Speaker 1: I only met her once, very briefly. Very cool person,
15:28
Speaker 1: whether whatever you think of her life or whatever. One
15:32
Speaker 1: of the most talented human beings you'll ever meet, and
15:34
Speaker 1: comes from a very nice family.
15:36
Speaker 2: By the way.
15:36
Speaker 1: New Yorker's tried and true, all right, seven ten wo
15:40
Speaker 1: r the Voice of New York. We want to hear
15:42
Speaker 1: what you have to say, so definitely give us a call.
15:44
Speaker 1: It's eight hundred three two one zero seven ten and
15:48
Speaker 1: Mark took a nice long weekend starting today. We have
15:51
Speaker 1: partly cloudy skies today, Tomorrow highs low fifties, maybe some
15:54
Speaker 1: clouds and showers tomorrow night, than partly cloudy's Sunday, a
15:56
Speaker 1: little milder, tempts in.
15:58
Speaker 2: The upper fifties.
15:59
