• 0:18
  Speaker 1: York City TV news anchor Ken Rosatto in for duty today.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I was twenty years at Channel seven. I was at
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Channel five doing Good Day New York before that, so
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: it's good to be here now. On the radio. I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: actually did radio many years before I got to TV,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and then I kind of missed it when I was
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: on TV and they didn't allow us to do radio
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: as well. At the time, I was very sad because
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: radio was my first love. And it's like I'm back
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: with my high school sweetheart, if you will, being back
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: on radio. But it's great to be here. I now
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I do a show on a New Jersey channel, a
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: streaming channel called on New JERSEYNNJ dot com. I'm on
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: weekdays there and it's great. So it's a New Jersey
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: state wide channel now expanded to a bunch of other
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: channels around the country. So we're on to about one
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: hundred million people a day having a good time with that.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: You could check us out every day there at ONNJ
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: dot com when you have finished listening to seven to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: ten wor which you should never finish listening to. I
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: listened to around the clock. Anyway, It's great to be
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: here again. Mark off of the weekend. Can Rosatto win?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: And for those who have not heard about this, I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: just had to share. Did you know that Governor Kathy Hokeel.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Governor Kathy Hokel has decided to codify something in New
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: York State, something that unofficially has existed for years, But
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: New York is now officially and publicly and on paper
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: a sanctuary state. Right? And did you just have your
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: stomach acid just squash up in your mouth? I asked you,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: O fellow taxpayer New Yorker, and I say, even though
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I live in New Jersey, I'm a taxpayer New Yorker
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: because when I come here to work and earn money,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I pay New York City and New York State taxes
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: as well. Just so you know what benefit to you
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and State of New York is there by officially mandating
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that New York be a sanctuary state. What we've seen
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: so far. And this is by the way, not look.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: You could say, ken, we were all migrants. We've all
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: immigrated at some point our families in the United States, etca.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Don't be so mean, right. My family had to wait
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: seventeen years to get in legally to the United States.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Hadn't about yours. But we went through the channels. They
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: were channels put forth and you know that after I
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: guess it was the late nineteen thirties, the United States
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: actually imposed the rule that there would only be fifty
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: thousand people immigrating in as legal citizens per year, and
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that existed until the early nineteen sixties. Fifty thousand and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the United States had over one hundred million citizens. So
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: that basically immigration was shut down for forty years thirty
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: forty years in the United States. And the purpose of
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: that was not to be xenophobic. It was so that
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the people who had come here in mass from the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: late eighteen hundreds, including Southern Europeans Italians like many of
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: my relatives, so that when they came over they could assimilate,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: learn the language, be educated, become part of the fabric
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of the society that is the United States. The purpose
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: of coming here is not so that you could bring
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you know, Lithuania, Italy, Spain and make this Spain Italy Lithuania.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: The purpose of leaving your country and coming here is
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to become knitted into the fabric that is the United States,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: learning the culture of the customs, and being a proud American.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Not to come here, make a few bucks, go back
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to your country. This is not a place to do that.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: That is not what the purpose is. So that's why
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I think so many people get so insulted and angered
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to the core when you have the Biden administration doing
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: what it did, opening the borders wide and basically saying
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: if you come in, well, look the other way. Just
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: become part of society here. You know, if you want
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to work, you want to work, off the books, whatever,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: take the money, go back to your country. Disgusting, disgusting.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: It violates every rule. It basically sticks up the middle
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: finger at all the laws we have passed. If you
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: don't like the laws, change the laws. But you don't,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you don't just basically ignore the laws and do so
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: in the process insulting every tax paying US citizen. And
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: look at what's happened in the process. It's just ignorant
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: on the part of the former Biden administration. Many countries
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that are nefarious, with nefarious plans did what Cuba did
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in the early nineteen sixties to the United States, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that has opened up their prisons and said here, go up,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you want to go, We'll let you go free. We'll
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: even give you money. Go to the United States and
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: live there. Because it costs a lot of money to
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: house an inmate, especially some of the worst inmates, you
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: have to put them in special blocks, in many cases
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: in isolation. So you had countries like we know for
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: a fact now Venezuela opened its prisons and let thousands
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and thousands of prisoners come to the United States. And
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: now we have bangangs like trend de Aragua terrorizing cities
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: all over the country. And we didn't have to have
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that if the Biden administration had just allowed the process
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to take place. And if I hear one more person say,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: but our immigration system is broken, mister Risado, what's broken
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: about it? We have seventy laws on federal books right
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: now detailing how to become a citizen of the United States.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: We leave, we let two to three million people migrate
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: legally into the United States every year. Do you know
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that that is more than every other country on Earth
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: combined allows into their countries. Where does it say in
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: our constitution that our job is to open the doors
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to the rest of the seven billion people on the planet.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: We could not survive as a country if we continue
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to do that. As the left loves to say, it's unsustainable.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: That's one of the code words. It makes my stomach twins. Unsustainable,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: mister Risado, it's unsustainable. You got to say it with
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: a lisp. It's unsustainable. Well, it's unsustainable to have open borders.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Because here, let's go down the list the show that
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I do in New Jersey, we have a wonderful meteorologist,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: as they have a wonderful mediorologists here, and he's a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: very dear friend of mine. I'm not going to say
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: his name, but if you watch the show, you'll know
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: who he is. And he points out every day he
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: stays out of politics totally, but he points out that
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: we are constantly in a water demand for water, that
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: we're constantly short of water in New Jersey, and right now,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: with all the heavy rain we've had for months, including
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: over the reservoirs, we're still below the needed amount of water. Well,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: another friend of mine, who is an environmental scientist who
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: used to be very far to the left and has
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: now come to the center, pointed something out to me
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the other day that I never thought of. And I
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: will now point that out to you, and you will
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: scratch your head and say, well, that makes sense. If
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: you look at the top six states in the country
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: where the left rule, and you have sanctuary state status,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: all those top six states suffer from water shortages right now.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: But if you look at how much water has rained,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: they we had the same amount of rain now that
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: they had thirty years ago at this time. So what's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: changed the population? Not the legal population. Ah, you see
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: where I'm going, the illegal population. The state of New
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Jersey has nine million legal residents and about one million
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: illegal residents. Okay, when they set up the infrastructure of
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the fine garden state, and it is a great state.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I love New Jersey. I was born and raised in
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Lower New York. I was raised in Westchester County, so
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I love New York. I went to high school and
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: college here in Manhattan. I went to Regis High School
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and NYU very proud of New York. But I got
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a taste of New Jersey in two thousand and three,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: two thousand and four and never went back. I've been
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: a New Jersey resident ever since. I love New Jersey
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and I live part time in Florida, but I just
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: love New Jersey for so many reasons. But when you
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: take nine million, and you add a million in a
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: short time over a few year period, you add a
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: million illegal migrants, you don't fix the infrastructure. Here's what
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you get now. We are short water buildings that were
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: meant to accommodate, that had apartments that should accommodate two people.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: You suddenly have twelve people jamming into apartments like that.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: It happens all over Newark. I have friends who work
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: for the buildings department in Newark who've told me time
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and time again they show up because pipes are bursting
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: in buildings. Why think about this. You flush a toilet
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: in an apartment that's meant to take two flushes an hour.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I mean literally, engineers for buildings will tell you this.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: They calculate, Okay, if each apartment in the building flushes
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: twice an hour, the buildings pipes can accommodate this many flushes.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: That's actually calculated by people who design plumbing in the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: code departments and whatnot. All of a sudden, if you
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: sex stupple the amount of residents in each apartment, there
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: is no way the pipes and those buildings can maintain
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: all the flushes and all the draw on the water.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: So you have people turning on water and all of
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: sudden they hear the pipes are like that because they're
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: literally straining. There's not enough water to get through. That's
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: what happens when you put four, five, six times the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: population into a building that it was supposed to have,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and it's not fair to the tenants who have been
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: living there and paying rent, et cetera. All of a
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: sudden they have eight, ten, twelve people as their neighbors
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: when that wasn't supposed to be the case. That's too
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: much of a draw on the electricity, too much of
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a draw on the water, too much flushing of the toilets,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: et cetera. And the infrastructure suffers. The streets are more congested,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the schools are inundated. Remember in the eighties, what we
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: heard from our leftist friends was to have proper education,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: we need to have smaller class sizes. We need to
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: have twelve kids in a classroom. By the way, I
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: went to Regis High School. We had thirty five kids
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: in a classroom. It's considered the best high school in America.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: And all our people had IVY League. So what I'm
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: looking for when you get a free free ride to college?
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Thank you. We all ended up in great colleges with
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the free rides, all right, and we had thirty thirty
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: five kids to a class. So don't tell me that
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it's all about class size. But that's what the left
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: tried to say tell us through the teachers unions in
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the eighties and nineties. All of a sudden, though, when
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: illegal aliens come in, and yes, legally, they're called illegal
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: aliens in federal documentation. So I'm not trying to be
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: offensive to anyone. So don't take offense and clutch your pearls.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, when you have twenty more kids
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: added to a class that were not anticipated at the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: beginning of the school year. You anticipated, oh, we'll have
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: twenty five kids. First day a school teacher comes in,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: there are forty kids sitting there. That's because by law,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you have to accommodate the kids who are there. You
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: don't and in New Jersey, you don't ask are you
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a citizen or not? Nope, you come, you're eight years old,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you get a seat in the class. We'll also give
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: you three squares a day, and on the weekends if
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the school is closed, we'll still get your food, all right,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: And I'm okay with that. I get that you're not
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: going to let a kid starve. It's not a kid's
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: problem that their parents did something that is contrary to
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the laws of the United States. So don't look at
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: me and say, Resa, you're cruel. But the reality is,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: it's one thing to be empathetic. It's another thing to
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: be foolish, and we are being foolish those on the
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: left who have opened the door without consulting the rest
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of society. They've caused irreparable damage to the United States
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: and it will take generations if we have the gumption
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: to correct it. And a lot of people are already
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: wishy washy on the whole fixing the immigrant issue. And
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: by fixing, I mean if you're here illegally, we first
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: invite you to leave on your own. If you don't
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: want to leave on your own, then we've got to
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: remove you, all right, that's the way the law is.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: If you voluntarily download the app, take your family, go
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: back to your country, we'll give you the airfare for free,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: and we'll give you one thousand dollars per person leaving
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: you get back to your home country, wherever that is,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: and now you can legally apply to come in with
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the money we gave you. Why is that cruel and harsh?
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Why does that mean and not empathetic? There isn't a
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: country on the planet that would do something so kind
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: as to provide the airfare and money so that you
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: can go hire an attorney and come back the legal way.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: But some how the left is convinced everybody, especially in
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: TV news, they're just evil Republicans, they're just heartless. This
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: family has worked here. One has worked here as a
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: as a bus driver for thirty years, loving his family,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and now you ought to kick him out, you evil people. No, no, no,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: no no. See he shouldn't have been allowed to come
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: in to begin with. Had you done your job and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: allowed or allowed our border agents to do their job
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: as they took an oath to do, instead of tying
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: their hands and telling them, no, don't do your job.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Poor one wouldn't have come here with expectations that were
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: not realistic. So now we're supposed to suffer because your
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: party decided to do something contrary to our laws. No,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: we need to fix the problem that you caused. And
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: one is welcome, and I'm just saying the name one.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: I have family. My family's part Puerto Rican and part Argentinian.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: So and again say listen to he's a racist, he's antiaspatic,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: brother blade, Okay, baby, I speak Spanish fluently. Don't get
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: on my case. And I lived in Miami full time
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: for five years and everybody, all my friends, Yes, some
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: of my best friends are Latino. I'm married to Puerto
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Rican and I happen to have family through Argentina. So
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: calm your horses. The point is you are welcome in
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: our country, but you got to come here the right way.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: And anyone who comes here the right way you are
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: welcome to enjoy all the benefits of America. But if
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: you don't come here the right way, I don't hate you.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I just invite you to leave, take the money we're
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: offering you, and then come back the legal way, and
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I will welcome you as my brother, as a fellow American.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Is that so hard? Is that so cruel? We'd love
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: to hear what you have to say about it. Eight
