Speaker 1: Now the Mark Simone Show on seven ten woor filling
0:05
Speaker 1: in for Mark, here's Ken Rosatto.
0:09
Speaker 2: And very good Happy Independence Day to you today. Of
0:12
Speaker 2: course it's being observed nationally, as you just said, Daria
0:15
Speaker 2: talking about and you know, celebrate the whole it's two
0:18
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty, Celebrate the whole weekend, the whole week
0:21
Speaker 2: This is America. I don't care where you stand politically,
0:25
Speaker 2: you should not hate the country. We're all part of America, right,
0:30
Speaker 2: so for all part of America. That means that you
0:33
Speaker 2: should If you hate America, you hate yourself. You should
0:36
Speaker 2: love whatever it is about America that you love and
0:39
Speaker 2: acknowledge that there are warts and there are problems. Everyone
0:42
Speaker 2: and everything has warts and problems, but look at the
0:45
Speaker 2: positives and celebrate that. You don't have to accept everything
0:48
Speaker 2: that the other guy accepts about America and is celebrating.
0:51
Speaker 2: Celebrate the things that you like and you enjoy and
0:54
Speaker 2: you're proud of in America. And everybody, if they have
0:57
Speaker 2: any kind of logical brain cell, can find something about
1:01
Speaker 2: this country. And there's a lot about this country to
1:03
Speaker 2: be proud of and happy of. So celebrate on this
1:06
Speaker 2: Independence Day, a very good Friday, to you. I'm Ken Rozatto,
1:09
Speaker 2: former New York City TV news Zachar I was on
1:12
Speaker 2: Channel seven for twenty years. I was on Channel five
1:14
Speaker 2: on Good Day New York before that, and it's just
1:16
Speaker 2: so good to be with you here. Now. I do
1:19
Speaker 2: a morning show over on on New Jersey, which is
1:22
Speaker 2: a New Jersey TV channel ONNJ dot com. You could
1:25
Speaker 2: stream it anywhere in America, and when I'm not here,
1:28
Speaker 2: I do that. That's what I do to buy my
1:31
Speaker 2: coffee and donuts on New JERSEYNNJ dot com. Stream it sometime,
1:37
Speaker 2: especially if you're a New Jersey person, check it out
1:39
Speaker 2: when I'm over there. We'd love for you to do that.
1:41
Speaker 2: But otherwise, I listen to WOOR and have been a
1:46
Speaker 2: huge fan of wires. Anyone here will tell you I
1:49
Speaker 2: geek out when I see Curtis and when I see Lowry,
1:52
Speaker 2: and even when I see my good friends Crash and
1:56
Speaker 2: Izzy and Chris, and when I walk in the hallways here,
1:58
Speaker 2: I get all excited because I hear all these names
2:00
Speaker 2: on the ERA all the time, and finally I get
2:02
Speaker 2: to see them in person. And I love coming in
2:04
Speaker 2: and doing that. And what a perfect day to commute
2:07
Speaker 2: into Manhattan from my lovely garden state of New Jersey.
2:10
Speaker 2: It was like, is he how long did it take
2:12
Speaker 2: you to get in today? Is he comes in from
2:13
Speaker 2: New Jersey too? He's telling me forty five? All right,
2:16
Speaker 2: it took me thirty nine. I couldn't believe it normally
2:19
Speaker 2: takes me an hour and five hour. Intent it took
2:21
Speaker 2: me thirty nine minutes. Because nobody's in today. And for
2:25
Speaker 2: those who don't realize, the meter rules are not in
2:29
Speaker 2: effect today. The meters are free, so you could park
2:31
Speaker 2: wherever there's a parking meter. So I don't think a
2:33
Speaker 2: lot of people know that. I literally pulled up in
2:35
Speaker 2: front of the iHeart Tower, pulled right up, perfect space,
2:39
Speaker 2: right there in front, got in. I felt like a VIP,
2:42
Speaker 2: very important person today. So anyway, it's good to be
2:45
Speaker 2: with you, Mark, enjoying the weekend. I hear rumors that
2:48
Speaker 2: Mark is hanging out with Taylor Swift right now, helping
2:52
Speaker 2: her get her dress ready and everything. That's you know,
2:54
Speaker 2: Mark Simon, and he hangs out with the important people.
2:57
Speaker 2: Me I just come and I fill in when he's
2:59
Speaker 2: not here. But Mark hangs that with the important people.
3:01
Speaker 2: It would not surprise me if we saw some some
3:05
Speaker 2: pictures posted of Mark at Taylor Swift's wedding. I'm just saying,
3:10
Speaker 2: I don't know that. That's not a confirmation. It's just
3:13
Speaker 2: my gut telling me that that would be the case.
3:15
Speaker 2: I could hear him right now saying, hey, Risotto, stop
3:18
Speaker 2: it all right, or the Voice of New York. Our
3:21
Speaker 2: phone lines are open. We want you to call and
3:23
Speaker 2: take part in the conversation today numbers eight hundred three
3:27
Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten. Others may be closed for business.
3:32
Speaker 2: We are live in person and open for business eight
3:35
Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten. Well, you heard
3:39
Speaker 2: very stagic talking about it. You heard Curtis talking about it.
3:42
Speaker 2: Larry's on VAK today. Good for him. The heat, of course,
3:46
Speaker 2: we're in the middle of a heat wave. Could hit
3:48
Speaker 2: one oh two in New York today. Crazy heat. It's
3:52
Speaker 2: so oppressive. When you get to bed, like ninety two
3:54
Speaker 2: ninety three, you can't even tell the difference. At that point.
3:56
Speaker 2: Your body just says, ough, too much, too much heat.
4:00
Speaker 2: I love the heat. I'll take warmth over cold at anytime,
4:04
Speaker 2: but even I don't like it when it's this way stagnant, hot, humid.
4:09
Speaker 2: It's just nasty and I know a lot of people
4:12
Speaker 2: were getting on Mayor Mom Donni for saying keep your
4:14
Speaker 2: thermostats at seventy eight. But you know, I think the
4:18
Speaker 2: Republicans who were bashing Mom Donnie about that should actually
4:21
Speaker 2: rewind the tape. And look, did you know that President
4:24
Speaker 2: Trump in twenty fifteen, during a heat wave, said keep
4:26
Speaker 2: your thermostats at seventy eight. Yeah? Also President Bush said
4:30
Speaker 2: keep your thermostats at seventy eight. So, and I believe
4:33
Speaker 2: Mayor Mayor Giuliani said keep your thermostats at seventy eight
4:36
Speaker 2: during a heat wave back then too. It's actually standard
4:40
Speaker 2: to say that. And I'll tell you why. Can you
4:41
Speaker 2: figure out why is he? Do you know why they
4:44
Speaker 2: say seventy eight? He's nodding, but he's not telling me. Yes,
4:51
Speaker 2: is he nailed it? You nailed it, man. It's because
4:55
Speaker 2: it's twenty degrees cooler. But why is that significant? It's
4:59
Speaker 2: significant because even if you set your thermostat to sixty,
5:04
Speaker 2: your AC unit really can only get you between fifteen
5:08
Speaker 2: and at most thirty degrees. Most of them are ten
5:10
Speaker 2: to twenty degrees. That's the best your air conditioning unit
5:13
Speaker 2: will get you. So if it's one hundred degrees out,
5:16
Speaker 2: you're probably not going to get Even if you put
5:18
Speaker 2: your thermostat down to sixty, you're not going to get
5:21
Speaker 2: below seventy five. So set your thermostat at seventy five
5:25
Speaker 2: or seventy six because it's not going to make a difference. Actually,
5:27
Speaker 2: you could burn out the motor if it just keeps
5:29
Speaker 2: going and going and going trying to get down to sixty.
5:31
Speaker 2: You'll freeze the coils, et cetera. You're better off just
5:34
Speaker 2: setting it at seventy six or seventy eight. So they're
5:37
Speaker 2: not entirely wrong. You ask any HVAC person, they will
5:40
Speaker 2: tell you that you're the best. Air conditioning units, with
5:43
Speaker 2: the exception of major big industrial office buildings, will only
5:48
Speaker 2: get you about fifteen at most thirty degrees fifteen to
5:52
Speaker 2: twenty typical. So if it's one hundred, one hundred and
5:55
Speaker 2: two out, you're not going to get below like upper seventies,
5:58
Speaker 2: even if you got the best big ole Oh we
6:01
Speaker 2: got two zone air conditioning ken, Yeah, that's all you're
6:04
Speaker 2: gonna get, especially your upper units. If you have like
6:06
Speaker 2: a two or three story house, the upstairs is going
6:09
Speaker 2: to be about ten to fifteen degrees hotter than downstairs
6:12
Speaker 2: because the heat is going to be baking your roof.
6:14
Speaker 2: Anyone will tell you that. So that's why, as much
6:17
Speaker 2: as there are a thousand things to get them, Mayor
6:19
Speaker 2: Mamdani for that isn't one of them. But here's where
6:22
Speaker 2: I will. You knew it wasn't gonna be all good
6:25
Speaker 2: about the kami, right, So Mayor mom, donnie what he
6:30
Speaker 2: fails to mention because he's talking about the power grid
6:33
Speaker 2: and the strain on the power grid, but he fails
6:35
Speaker 2: to mention why the power grid is so strained. Yeah,
6:38
Speaker 2: you could say it's everybody using the air conditioning ken. Yeah,
6:40
Speaker 2: but you know what, in the last twenty years, we've
6:43
Speaker 2: switched to air conditioning units that are way more energy efficient.
6:47
Speaker 2: We've switched to light bulbs that only use ten watts
6:50
Speaker 2: or five watts instead of one hundred watts to give
6:53
Speaker 2: us the same power. Right, We've switched to refrigeration units
6:57
Speaker 2: that use half the power that the old ones used
6:59
Speaker 2: to use. On and on and on it goes. So
7:02
Speaker 2: when you consider all that, we should have tons of
7:05
Speaker 2: leftover energy, but we don't. Why. There are a couple
7:09
Speaker 2: of reasons. Number one, the good Democrats with their intention
7:14
Speaker 2: of saving energy and helping save Mother Earth with the environment.
7:19
Speaker 2: They have shut down fossil fuel generating plants, which are
7:22
Speaker 2: the most efficient and reliable energy generators we've ever had.
7:26
Speaker 2: They have fought to shut down fossil fuel plants and
7:29
Speaker 2: New Jersey, New York, Connecticut every opportunity they could, and
7:33
Speaker 2: then the most efficient and renewable resource we've ever created
7:38
Speaker 2: for making electricity, nuclear power plants, any nuclear plant they could.
7:43
Speaker 2: Southern New Jersey got shut down about seven years ago.
7:47
Speaker 2: Indian Point under Andrew Cuomo couldn't wait to shut that
7:50
Speaker 2: thing down, even though it was perfectly fine, it was
7:53
Speaker 2: working great. Shut that thing down. That was like twenty
7:57
Speaker 2: to twenty five percent of the power for the tri state.
7:59
Speaker 2: For gods, say, came out of Indian Point. Shut it down,
8:03
Speaker 2: and what does that do? That just put more of
8:05
Speaker 2: a strain on the existing energy plants. So now every
8:09
Speaker 2: time we have a heat situation like this, they tell
8:12
Speaker 2: us to use less air conditioning. Now, how about we
8:14
Speaker 2: authorize more power plants. How about we build another smaller efficient,
8:20
Speaker 2: AI run nuclear power plant. You know you can't. You
8:24
Speaker 2: can't wind mill and solar panel yourself out of an
8:27
Speaker 2: energy crisis. Florida tried. Florida's the sunshine state. They got
8:31
Speaker 2: more sun down there than just about any other state
8:33
Speaker 2: in the whole Union except maybe California, New Mexico, and
8:36
Speaker 2: Florida realized they had to have a combination of power
8:39
Speaker 2: generating plants. They do have solar plants, lots of them.
8:43
Speaker 2: But one solar plant takes a footprint that is ten
8:46
Speaker 2: times the size of the equivalent fossil fuel plant to
8:50
Speaker 2: generate the same electricity ten times the size, and that
8:53
Speaker 2: is relying upon a full day of sun. If you
8:57
Speaker 2: don't have a full day of sun, forget it. And
8:59
Speaker 2: at night it does and generate anything. You have to
9:01
Speaker 2: store in batteries that after a certain number of years
9:04
Speaker 2: have to be stored in a landfill because they're no
9:06
Speaker 2: longer rechargeable. So this becomes an issue. That's why solar
9:11
Speaker 2: is not the end all be all, and windmills are
9:13
Speaker 2: not the end all be all. The Republicanism is saying
9:16
Speaker 2: we'll do an above you know, select all way of
9:19
Speaker 2: looking at power. Democrats don't want to hear it. They
9:22
Speaker 2: would rather shut down the fossil fuel and the nuclear
9:25
Speaker 2: plants and just live in a cave just live in
9:28
Speaker 2: a cave, rock back and forth eating bugs until we die,
9:32
Speaker 2: as opposed to doing something practical. In New Jersey, Governor Murphy,
9:37
Speaker 2: I used to love to call him, Governor Murphy, the
9:39
Speaker 2: man worth seven billion dollars who needs a dentist to
9:42
Speaker 2: fix those god awful teeth. Governor Murphy, right is, he's
9:47
Speaker 2: looking at me and laughing. Have you ever seen go
9:49
Speaker 2: online here? I defy you google Governor Murphy's teeth. Just
9:54
Speaker 2: google that will they will pop there a thousand memes.
9:59
Speaker 2: It's a I'll stop. It's not just crooked, it's like, eh,
10:02
Speaker 2: like you never mind having met them. Man, very nice man,
10:05
Speaker 2: he's actually extremely nice. I'm sorry to be so mean,
10:08
Speaker 2: sorry to be so mean. Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me.
10:10
Speaker 2: Father Ryefs. And I just made fun of Governor Murphy's teeth. Okay,
10:14
Speaker 2: I just had my confession. But Governor Murphy made sure
10:19
Speaker 2: he and his Democrats, who control all of the state
10:21
Speaker 2: of New Jersey, they shut down six power plants. Okay,
10:26
Speaker 2: six power plants without us without a replacement. Five were
10:31
Speaker 2: were a fossil fuel plants, and one was a nuclear plant. Now,
10:35
Speaker 2: in the case of two of the fossil plants. They
10:37
Speaker 2: needed some good rehab. And the question is do you
10:39
Speaker 2: spend money fixing them up and making them more efficient
10:42
Speaker 2: or just shut them down? Okay, I give that that's
10:45
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty, but before you shut them down, you
10:48
Speaker 2: needed to see that there was a replacement. No, instead
10:51
Speaker 2: shut them all down, because that's a Democrat solution. If
10:54
Speaker 2: it's fossil fuel, if it's nuclear, shut it down and
10:58
Speaker 2: we'll deal with it later. So did they do to
11:00
Speaker 2: deal with it? They ended up buying power from other states,
11:04
Speaker 2: which is why New Jersey's energy rate per kilowatt hour
11:08
Speaker 2: is one of the most expensive in the entire country.
11:12
Speaker 2: So what was the solution from all the semi braindead
11:15
Speaker 2: Democrat voters in New Jersey. Let's vote in another Democrat,
11:19
Speaker 2: this time more liberal in Mikey Cheryl who. I get
11:21
Speaker 2: a kick out of the fact that there isn't a
11:23
Speaker 2: consultant on any of the big networks Fox, MS, NOW, CNN.
11:28
Speaker 2: There isn't a consultant who knows what her name is pronounced,
11:31
Speaker 2: as they call her Mickey Scherill. I've heard every name
11:34
Speaker 2: in the world, including by her own Democrats. They don't
11:37
Speaker 2: know the woman's name is Mikey Cheryl. Mikey Cheryl who
11:39
Speaker 2: is terrified to come on the air with me no
11:41
Speaker 2: matter where I go, terrified, and her pr person or
11:45
Speaker 2: press person loves he has some clip of me, either
11:48
Speaker 2: here or on New Jersey making fun of her. Well,
11:52
Speaker 2: tough luck. Put on your big girl pants, Mikey, you're
11:54
Speaker 2: now the governor, you were a congresswoman. Put on your
11:57
Speaker 2: big girl pants. Talk show hosts will make fun of it,
12:00
Speaker 2: like I made fun of Governor Murphy. I make fun
12:03
Speaker 2: of Republicans too. Plenty of things to make fun of
12:06
Speaker 2: with Republicans. Dot stop being so sensitive. Put on your
12:09
Speaker 2: big girl pants and come on and take some questions.
12:11
Speaker 2: I'm not going to rip you apart. I'm not going
12:12
Speaker 2: to yell at you. I will be very respectful to you. Governor,
12:16
Speaker 2: but Governor Cheryl, who doesn't speak like that. Governor Cheryl,
12:22
Speaker 2: you know the idea that she would sit here and say,
12:25
Speaker 2: we will have a solution on day one for the
12:27
Speaker 2: energy crisis. What was the solution? Typical Democrat solution. Let's
12:31
Speaker 2: empower a panel so this way she could say she's
12:34
Speaker 2: doing something, and all it is is to do nothing.
12:37
Speaker 2: Speak group who gets together it will take them two
12:39
Speaker 2: years to come up with a report that's going to
12:41
Speaker 2: cost us thirty million dollars and it's not going to
12:43
Speaker 2: do a damn thing. The only thing she did allow
12:46
Speaker 2: was to research, research what it would be to open
12:51
Speaker 2: a small, efficient nuclear power plant. Didn't mean we're going
12:54
Speaker 2: to do it. It's so that she could shut her
12:57
Speaker 2: opponents up and say, look, we're researching it right now. Yeah, okay,
13:01
Speaker 2: so by the time you and I are both dead,
13:04
Speaker 2: we'll get a report from Governor Cheryl telling us what
13:07
Speaker 2: the research showed about having a small nuclear power plant
13:10
Speaker 2: New Jersey. We had a big one. We know what
13:12
Speaker 2: the research tells us the idea. Now we have companies
13:15
Speaker 2: telling us that using AI, you can have much smaller,
13:18
Speaker 2: much more efficient, much better built and run nuclear power
13:21
Speaker 2: facilities that you don't have to worry about.
13:24
Speaker 3: You know.
13:24
Speaker 2: The reason why we had the problem with three Mile Island. Literally,
13:28
Speaker 2: the guys at the switch at two o'clock in the
13:30
Speaker 2: morning fell asleep. That's why look it up. Go online,
13:34
Speaker 2: go take a look at their videos. You could see
13:36
Speaker 2: on YouTube about what happened at three Mile Island. They
13:38
Speaker 2: fell asleep and they didn't notice the big dials behind
13:42
Speaker 2: them going the temperature of the core was rising. These
13:46
Speaker 2: guys were sound asleep. That's what happened. If you have
13:49
Speaker 2: AI monitoring those things twenty four to seven, that thing
13:52
Speaker 2: goes up a tenth of a degree, you'll know about it.
13:55
Speaker 2: Everybody will know about it. That's the difference. A nuclear
13:58
Speaker 2: power facility today would not be run like it was
14:02
Speaker 2: fifty years ago. And that's what Three Mile Islands technology
14:05
Speaker 2: was fifty years ago. That's why running up. Instead of
14:08
Speaker 2: having one giant nuclear facility, we're talking about proposing a
14:12
Speaker 2: number of smaller facilities that are much easier to maintain,
14:15
Speaker 2: much easier to build. Instead of taking ten years to
14:18
Speaker 2: build and ten years to get online, these things could
14:20
Speaker 2: be built in a year or two and would be
14:22
Speaker 2: online a year or two after that. But you have
14:25
Speaker 2: to have the forethought, You have to have the open
14:27
Speaker 2: mindedness that a Republican administration has when it comes to energy,
14:31
Speaker 2: as opposed to Democrats who literally just want us to
14:33
Speaker 2: go back to the Stone Age or crawl in a
14:35
Speaker 2: cave and die, because in their view, every life form
14:38
Speaker 2: on the planet deserves the rule of survival of the fittest,
14:41
Speaker 2: except for humans. Humans, we're not entitled to that. We
14:44
Speaker 2: don't deserve to be here. It's all about guilt and
14:47
Speaker 2: self flagellation. With Democrats, we're the evil, bad people, especially
14:51
Speaker 2: white males. Among all of the group, white males the worst,
14:54
Speaker 2: and everybody else kind of falls in line after that.
14:57
Speaker 2: That's the way the modern Democrat Party looks at things.
15:00
Speaker 2: WO are the voice of New York. We are wide
15:03
Speaker 2: open to take your calls. Eight hundred three to two
15:05
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten eight hundred three two one zero
15:09
Speaker 2: seven ten case you didn't hear Ray Stagic earlier, sunny, hot, humid. Today,
15:14
Speaker 2: the heat wave continues. Highs today one hundred to one
15:17
Speaker 2: hundred and two degrees humidity, making it feel even hotter
15:20
Speaker 2: than that. Maybe a late day thunderstorm today and tomorrow,
15:25
Speaker 2: we hope not tomorrow. Tomorrow's the big fireworks show. Remember
15:28
Speaker 2: the fireworks are going to be both at the East
15:30
Speaker 2: River and the Hudson River. Did you know that is
15:32
Speaker 2: he It's gonna be in both. Uh huh. So you
15:34
Speaker 2: know some years they pick East River, some years they
15:36
Speaker 2: pick Hudson River. This is the two fiftieth of America.
15:38
Speaker 2: They said, heck, Macy's said, let's do both. So they're
15:42
Speaker 2: gonna have the fireworks going off both the East River
15:44
Speaker 2: and the Hudson River and off of the Brooklyn Bridge,
15:47
Speaker 2: and a laser show. It's gonna be amazing. We just
15:51
Speaker 2: hope the weather cooperates. Keep your fingers crossed and come
15:54
Speaker 2: ou up. A little bit later, we'll speak with the
15:56
Speaker 2: great Roger Friedman from Showbiz four to one one talk
15:59
Speaker 2: about all the latest entertainment news, including the Swift wedding.
16:03
Speaker 2: I bet he knows everything about it. Your calls oo
16:05
Speaker 2: coming up next, just a couple of minutes from now
16:06
Speaker 2: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten. It's
16:09
Speaker 2: ten twenty one seven ten. Wor coming right back.
16:12
Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on seven ten wor
16:16
Speaker 1: Ken from Mark Today.
16:18
Speaker 2: Here's Ken, Roseauda and Ice to be with you on
16:21
Speaker 2: this very hot observance of the fourth of July. Here
16:25
Speaker 2: on the third, let's go to our busy phones. Bob
16:26
Speaker 2: in mont Valley, Jersey, right by the Rockland border. Good
16:29
Speaker 2: morning Bob to you, Oh, good morning.
16:32
Speaker 4: Yes, I can see Rockland from my kitchen window.
16:36
Speaker 2: Here people remember the reference. That's the question. I can
16:39
Speaker 2: see what is that? I can see Russia from my house.
16:43
Speaker 4: That's yes, soul Sarah Pellin. But two quick things, if
16:48
Speaker 4: I may. You know you mentioned about the helicopter pilot governor.
16:52
Speaker 4: She did the same thing with New Jersey Transit. You
16:55
Speaker 4: said she's gonna fix it, and in day one she
16:58
Speaker 4: puts out a question neared to people. And you know
17:01
Speaker 4: how it ended up is the fares went up yesterday
17:04
Speaker 4: and the service went.
17:05
Speaker 2: Down three percent. And by the way, you do know,
17:07
Speaker 2: I don't need to step on your bob. They built
17:09
Speaker 2: in this is the Democrat's cute little trick. They built
17:13
Speaker 2: in an automatic three percent annual fare hike, no matter what,
17:18
Speaker 2: and there's no end in sight. It goes on and
17:20
Speaker 2: on and on, and the governor has the right to
17:23
Speaker 2: hike the fair even more, but there is a minimum
17:26
Speaker 2: three Basically, they call it like an inflation correction every
17:31
Speaker 2: year three percent. Well what if inflation is only two percent?
17:33
Speaker 2: This is this is the way they play the game.
17:37
Speaker 4: No, I know, and you know, And I'm glad you
17:39
Speaker 4: bring that up because I am aware of that. Unfortunately,
17:43
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody else is. But if I can
17:46
Speaker 4: bring up the point about these data centers and stuff,
17:49
Speaker 4: especially in New York, people are so onto it. You
17:52
Speaker 4: know in New York, they gave farm is a lot
17:55
Speaker 4: of like regulations and a hard time to farm and
17:58
Speaker 4: to like get from from dairy to beef to agriculture.
18:02
Speaker 4: And now they're turning farms in upstate New York into
18:06
Speaker 4: solar farms and people are clueless about that. Now what's
18:11
Speaker 4: worse a data center or now scoffing up land that
18:15
Speaker 4: is like growing food. People don't realize New York is
18:19
Speaker 4: a great resource of food agriculture and now it's being
18:23
Speaker 4: turned into acres and acres of solar farms. And all
18:28
Speaker 4: we hear, like Curtis and Larry talk about, is oh
18:33
Speaker 4: data centered, data cated data center. But they they're ruining
18:38
Speaker 4: paradise upstate New York with solar panels, folks, and people
18:43
Speaker 4: are just clueless.
18:44
Speaker 2: Bob, those are excellent points. And in fact, yesterday I
18:47
Speaker 2: don't know if you heard, we had On Fisher, who's
18:50
Speaker 2: a tech guy that I have on my show in
18:53
Speaker 2: New Jersey all the time at o NNJ dot com.
18:55
Speaker 2: By the way, you live in New Jersey, sermon, I
18:56
Speaker 2: want to check it out o NNJ dot com. Every day.
18:59
Speaker 2: Do the show. Thank you, sir, so as do I so.
19:04
Speaker 2: Fisher was on yesterday talking about the fact that there
19:08
Speaker 2: is a proposal by mister Musk to have a million
19:13
Speaker 2: satellites called AI one satellites that would be data centers.
19:18
Speaker 2: Now here's the way it would work. Because space is
19:21
Speaker 2: ice coal, there's zero degrees unless you're pointing at a star,
19:24
Speaker 2: then it's a zillion degrees. It doesn't need to be
19:27
Speaker 2: cooled by water like we would need on Earth, and
19:30
Speaker 2: the solar panels would be out taking free electricity twenty
19:34
Speaker 2: four to seven from the star, from the Sun or
19:36
Speaker 2: whatever starts pointed at and then it would just beam
19:39
Speaker 2: the data back and forth from the satellite. Now you
19:42
Speaker 2: could say, what if it gets intercepted, Well, you know
19:44
Speaker 2: everything can get intercepted. So whatever the thing is, if
19:47
Speaker 2: you have a million of these satellites all doing a
19:49
Speaker 2: little bit of the data processing at the same time,
19:51
Speaker 2: you'd solve the problems of the data centers and you
19:54
Speaker 2: wouldn't have to have any here on Earth. So it
19:56
Speaker 2: depends on what you want to do. I think that's
19:58
Speaker 2: the direction that everybody wants to go in this point.
20:00
Speaker 2: Would you have any objection to that? Now there you go.
20:03
Speaker 2: Then it wouldn't be taking up all the Land excellent. Hey,
20:06
Speaker 2: I love Montville, by the way, the way you ever
20:08
Speaker 2: go to Wegman's there in Montvale all the time?
20:12
Speaker 4: I can walk to it, actually. And that's another area
20:15
Speaker 4: you know that used to be such a great farm,
20:18
Speaker 4: real farms, and now it's like a Wegman's. Then it's
20:22
Speaker 4: it's good. I like Wegmans.
20:23
Speaker 2: We like Wegmans. It's not a problem. Fortunately, there's still
20:26
Speaker 2: a lot of New Jersey that's farm landed is still
20:28
Speaker 2: the garden state. You just have to drive a little farther, Bob.
20:31
Speaker 2: We love when you call No, that's true. Got to
20:34
Speaker 2: drive about an hour and a half south, go down
20:36
Speaker 2: to like Sussex and the Middlesex. Then you'll find some farms. Bob.
20:40
Speaker 2: We appreciate you, my friend, happy.
20:41
Speaker 4: Fourth, happy for what to you all too?
20:44
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, sir. All right, let's go over
20:46
Speaker 2: to our friend Joe in Elmwood Park. Hello, Joe, oh,
20:49
Speaker 2: jo favorite.
20:50
Speaker 3: Could we be talking about our favorite governor? Governor lamb
20:53
Speaker 3: chop shot puppet. Now, I'm going to give you a
20:59
Speaker 3: Patterson for sake saying, and I'll try to keep it clean.
21:03
Speaker 3: I will kiss your behind and Macy's window. You could
21:07
Speaker 3: prove to me that that election was on the money.
21:09
Speaker 2: Uh okay, well, you know, as a broadcaster, I have
21:13
Speaker 2: to say, well, there's no evidence that it wasn't on
21:15
Speaker 2: the money. Excuse me as I choke. Yeah, No, it's
21:20
Speaker 2: it's uh. When you think about the fact that in
21:22
Speaker 2: that last election she got more votes than any governor ever,
21:26
Speaker 2: just amazing, isn't it just amazing? Everybody turned out and
21:29
Speaker 2: voted for her.
21:30
Speaker 3: I wish he come Downwood Park. I would ask her
21:32
Speaker 3: how many dead people and how many illegal aliens voted
21:35
Speaker 3: for her? What she wanted about illegal aliens for it,
21:38
Speaker 3: because they're the ones that got her elected. That's why
21:40
Speaker 3: she next day she ran down to Nowork.
21:42
Speaker 4: Yeah.
21:42
Speaker 2: You know the thing. We're gonna talk more about that too, Joe.
21:45
Speaker 2: When we talk about all the traffic in New York City,
21:48
Speaker 2: we talk about the strain on the power grid, we
21:51
Speaker 2: talk about the strain on water, We talk about the
21:54
Speaker 2: schools being overpopulated. Well, but you know where that comes from.
21:58
Speaker 2: If you add two million people to New York City
22:01
Speaker 2: and nine hundred thousand people to the state of New
22:03
Speaker 2: Jersey who are here illegally, so that the infrastructure never
22:06
Speaker 2: accounted for them. What the heck do you think is
22:08
Speaker 2: gonna happen? You know, we think that I think we
22:11
Speaker 2: have a misconception that all illegal aliens are poor little
22:15
Speaker 2: people who stay in slums, who are in these like
22:18
Speaker 2: twenty two an apartment type situation.
22:21
Speaker 4: No.
22:21
Speaker 2: I personally know people that I didn't realize were illegal
22:24
Speaker 2: till later, who are wealthy, who come from Canada, they
22:28
Speaker 2: come from Costa Rica. I know people from Europe. They
22:31
Speaker 2: overstayed their visas and they drive expensive cars, and they're
22:34
Speaker 2: the ones congesting the roadways. And that's why you and
22:37
Speaker 2: I are paying congestion pricing, because they shouldn't be here.
22:40
Speaker 3: On are dying over a million?
22:42
Speaker 2: You gotta know them that they know of If we
22:44
Speaker 2: know of a million, god knows how many there actually are.
22:46
Speaker 3: And when is Nick Shirley coming here for the fraud?
22:50
Speaker 3: Three hundred billion fraud in New Jersey guaranteed.
22:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, three hundred billion. That's that's chump change. It's way
22:56
Speaker 2: more than that, Joe, way more than that. Hey, happy independence,
23:00
Speaker 2: my friend. We got to do the news. We appreciate you, Joe,
23:02
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. All right. Seven ten WR the

23:30
Speaker 2: Simone is actually with Taylor Swift right now, telling her, no,
23:35
Speaker 2: you know what you want is that dressed to be
23:37
Speaker 2: off the shoulder a little. I think he's right now
23:39
Speaker 2: helping her with the wedding. That's what I think. I
23:41
Speaker 2: don't know that, but I'm just saying, well, I hear
23:45
Speaker 2: the laughter. I love it. He runs the hottest entertainment
23:47
Speaker 2: website on the interwebs, Showbiz four one one. Rumor has
23:51
Speaker 2: it that he helped Travis pick out Taylor's engagement ring
23:54
Speaker 2: the incomparable Roger Friedman. Ladies and gentlemen, Good morning Roger.
23:59
Speaker 5: No, you know I say I'm officiating actually tonight A
24:03
Speaker 5: you could. They're gonna wind up getting a Jewish wedding
24:05
Speaker 5: even if they don't want one.
24:07
Speaker 3: Hull.
24:07
Speaker 2: You know, I used to be a priest, right you do.
24:09
Speaker 5: Know that, or no, I didn't know that.
24:11
Speaker 1: There you go.
24:12
Speaker 2: So I've done a couple of celeb weddings in the past.
24:14
Speaker 2: Now I would have to do it like I could
24:16
Speaker 2: do whatever. I'm sure I'm going to get in trouble
24:18
Speaker 2: now for announcing that publicly anyway. So Taylor Swift, So
24:22
Speaker 2: what's the deal issue already married? Dish the dirt. What's
24:24
Speaker 2: the deal.
24:26
Speaker 5: I don't think she's I think that the I think
24:28
Speaker 5: the wedding is tonight. I think that this people don't
24:32
Speaker 5: know anything. So this amount of speculation is in overdrive
24:37
Speaker 5: and people are making stuff up. Nothing's ever going to
24:40
Speaker 5: be confirmed or denied, so you can say anything you want.
24:43
Speaker 5: But I think they had their rehearsal dinner last night
24:46
Speaker 5: and they're having their wedding tonight at the garden. It'll
24:49
Speaker 5: be about one hundred and fifty degrees outside at the
24:52
Speaker 5: moment that they're going in. It's maybe we'll have thunderstorms.
24:56
Speaker 5: It should be fun. I just put up a pick
25:00
Speaker 5: share from the NYPD News twitter feed of Chief Boudette,
25:05
Speaker 5: who's the head of Manhattan South Cops, standing outside of
25:10
Speaker 5: the garden right now with the megaphone calling out Taylor
25:14
Speaker 5: swift lyrics.
25:15
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it right now. I see it right
25:17
Speaker 2: now on your site. That's great.
25:18
Speaker 5: This is the craziest thing I've ever You know, the
25:23
Speaker 5: police have paid very handsomely to take care of this wedding,
25:28
Speaker 5: and of course Taylor Swifts and Travis Kelsey gave away
25:31
Speaker 5: twenty six million dollars in donations to various charities and
25:36
Speaker 5: funds yesterday, which was their way of saying, you know,
25:40
Speaker 5: we know this looks terrible, the wedding looks terrible, but
25:42
Speaker 5: we're very nice people.
25:44
Speaker 2: And they don't look look for the When you think
25:46
Speaker 2: of the amount of charity she's done over the years
25:49
Speaker 2: and the amount of people who she gets just from
25:51
Speaker 2: the idea that she gives joy to so many millions
25:54
Speaker 2: of people. Life kind of sucks for a lot of people,
25:56
Speaker 2: and if she could bring joy to a lot of people,
25:59
Speaker 2: and this is what they like, there could be a
26:02
Speaker 2: lot worse that they're doing than cheering less. Exactly.
26:05
Speaker 5: Absolutely, it's absolutely harmless. And uh, they're going to be people.
26:11
Speaker 5: They're not going to get close tonight, but there's going
26:13
Speaker 5: to be a huge crowds probably behind the barriers, waiting
26:17
Speaker 5: to see what's happening, and it's sort of like it's
26:20
Speaker 5: they've turned it into like a royal wedding.
26:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's the closest way up to royalty
26:25
Speaker 2: in America. This is this is our royalty.
26:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I thought the Kardashians were actually the royalty.
26:33
Speaker 2: This is the whole.
26:35
Speaker 5: All of these things are the coal's department, store of royalty.
26:39
Speaker 2: The coals department stopped. Cols is good. I love my coals.
26:42
Speaker 2: Don't don't knock gold. Hey, listen, let's shift from I
26:45
Speaker 2: know enough people are saying enough with the tailor. Okay.
26:48
Speaker 2: So mel Brooks, one of my favorite human beings ever
26:51
Speaker 2: on the planet, just turned one hundred. God bless him.
26:53
Speaker 2: Happy birthday. I hope he lives to be two hundred.
26:56
Speaker 2: That man. I could watch every one of his movies
26:59
Speaker 2: a thousand times.
27:02
Speaker 5: Well, we love mel Brooks. I Over the years, I've
27:05
Speaker 5: had a lot of opportunities to interview him and talk
27:08
Speaker 5: to him. And when he was when he and his
27:12
Speaker 5: late writing partner Tom Me and were writing the Young
27:18
Speaker 5: Frankenstein musical. They they used to go to a restaurant
27:26
Speaker 5: around sixtieth and Lexington that was I was called Madame Romain.
27:31
Speaker 5: De Leon, and it was this place that only made omelets.
27:35
Speaker 5: They were very expensive. They had like, you know, truffles
27:38
Speaker 5: in them and that kind of thing. And eventually the
27:40
Speaker 5: place was padlocked because the people who were running it
27:42
Speaker 5: never paid their taxes. And there weren't that many people
27:46
Speaker 5: in the restaurant ever, but I knew that they were
27:49
Speaker 5: up there, so I used to go up there and
27:51
Speaker 5: have lunch when they were in the back writing, and
27:54
Speaker 5: they were so much fun. And I really liked the
27:58
Speaker 5: Young Frankenstein musical. But after the US was such a
28:01
Speaker 5: hit on Broadway, nothing could live up to it. You know,
28:05
Speaker 5: it was pointless. But Mel is great, and of course
28:13
Speaker 5: The Producers was a gigantic hit on Broadway after being
28:16
Speaker 5: a cult movie for years, and all those other movies
28:21
Speaker 5: were just terrific. Spaceballs was one of my favorites, and
28:26
Speaker 5: now the sequel will be out next spring. So Spaceball's
28:31
Speaker 5: two comes out in April, I think of twenty twenty seven,
28:34
Speaker 5: and hopefully Mel will be at the premiere. I'm sure
28:37
Speaker 5: he will, and you know it's going to be a riot.
28:40
Speaker 2: The whole pace.
28:43
Speaker 5: I used to get into trouble on Christmas Day. We
28:48
Speaker 5: used to be my friends had dinner and they say
28:51
Speaker 5: bring a movie with you, So I always brought Spaceballs
28:54
Speaker 5: for the kids who are there, and then I get
28:56
Speaker 5: into trouble with the parents.
29:00
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but my all time favorite still has happens
29:02
Speaker 2: to me. And I know it's politically incorrect totally, but
29:05
Speaker 2: Blazing Saddles, Yeah, Blazing I just there is not a
29:09
Speaker 2: scene that isn't a classic scene in Blazing Saddles. You
29:12
Speaker 2: could quote every single scene in the movie.
29:15
Speaker 5: And it's more politically incorrect than almost any movie you've heard. Absolutely,
29:20
Speaker 5: And Mel came and showed it a few just a
29:24
Speaker 5: few years ago. He came and showed it and entd
29:27
Speaker 5: a Q and A afterwards, and it was absolutely the
29:30
Speaker 5: whole thing was hilarious. So it held up beautifully after
29:34
Speaker 5: whatever forty years or fifty years, and all of his
29:38
Speaker 5: stuff pretty much holds up him. Of course, my our
29:41
Speaker 5: favorite thing is Get Smart, of course, which you know. Yeah,
29:47
Speaker 5: And they came up with the Cone of Silence and
29:49
Speaker 5: a shoe fountain.
29:51
Speaker 2: Before we had cell phones. That came up with the
29:53
Speaker 2: shoe phone. It was great, that's right.
29:55
Speaker 5: And the Cone of Silence I refer anytime you go
29:58
Speaker 5: into a noisy New York restaurant, I say, get the
30:01
Speaker 5: Connor silence.
30:03
Speaker 2: For those who don't remember, it was this dome like
30:05
Speaker 2: an upside down Martini glass that would come down from
30:08
Speaker 2: the ceiling and that way these secret agents could talk inside.
30:11
Speaker 2: You could hear it echoing through the room, but supposedly
30:15
Speaker 2: right exactly.
30:17
Speaker 5: Couldn't hear anything. And finally that the chief would say,
30:20
Speaker 5: get rid of this thing so we can hear each other.
30:23
Speaker 2: Only Melbrook, and of course Melbrook's best friend on the
30:26
Speaker 2: planet was Carl Reiner, who was a friend of my grandfather's.
30:30
Speaker 2: I'm from you Rochelle and Carl Reiner used to live
30:33
Speaker 2: on Bonnie Meadow Drive, but in uh or Bonnie Meadow Crest.
30:37
Speaker 2: But I think in the Dick Van Dyke Show they
30:39
Speaker 2: actually gave the address that he lived on. They called
30:42
Speaker 2: it Bonnie Meadow Drive instead, but it was the actual
30:45
Speaker 2: address that melt that Carl Reiner lived at, which was hysterical.
30:48
Speaker 2: My grandfather used to say, my grandfather was a contractor.
30:51
Speaker 2: I used to do work there at that address, and
30:53
Speaker 2: he used to say it on the Dick Van Dykes Show,
30:55
Speaker 2: which was hysterical.
30:57
Speaker 5: That's where Rob and Laura lived exactly.
31:00
Speaker 2: But that was when you could do that.
31:01
Speaker 5: There are real people living in West Point, living in
31:04
Speaker 5: Orchelle and being and living in New York when when
31:08
Speaker 5: the show was on, we thought they were real people.
31:10
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Hey, listen, we're chatting up a storm on him.
31:13
Speaker 2: He is just a god. Bless him. May he be
31:15
Speaker 2: another hundred. He's just wonderful, made so many people happy.
31:18
Speaker 2: So we got about a minute left. What is coming
31:21
Speaker 2: up on the box office this weekend?
31:24
Speaker 5: The box office is pretty quiet. Toy Story five has
31:27
Speaker 5: been the big movie. We're waiting right now for The
31:31
Speaker 5: Odyssey on July seventeenth. And this is going to be
31:36
Speaker 5: like This is from the director of Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan,
31:39
Speaker 5: and it's a three hour epic. I haven't seen it yet.
31:43
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm going to the premiere a few days
31:46
Speaker 5: before the opening. A few critics saw it the other
31:50
Speaker 5: day because they're doing it long interviews, and apparently it's fantastic.
31:55
Speaker 5: It's going to be a big a stunner. So and
31:58
Speaker 5: this is you know, you know Homer, remember Homer, not
32:00
Speaker 5: Homer Simpson is the poet, yes, and and and putting
32:07
Speaker 5: this together with the you know, uh Helen of Troy
32:11
Speaker 5: and the Trojan Horse and all of that. It's gonna be.
32:13
Speaker 5: It's gonna be stunning.
32:16
Speaker 2: Uh.
32:16
Speaker 5: And it's all live. There's no CGI, there's no uh,
32:20
Speaker 5: computer graphics or artificial intelligence. It's a it's a live movie.
32:25
Speaker 5: So it's gonna be. It's going to be completely.
32:27
Speaker 2: Wild, very cool.
32:29
Speaker 5: Everyone's really looking everyone's looking forward to that. And uh
32:33
Speaker 5: and there's lots of great stuff playing on Broadway and
32:36
