• 0:21
  Speaker 1: whole week This is America. I don't care where you

  Speaker 1: all part of America, right, so for all part of America.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: That means that you should If you hate America, you
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: hate yourself. You should love whatever it is about America
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: that you love and acknowledge that there are warts and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: there are problems. Everyone and everything has warts and problems,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: but look at the positives and celebrate that. You don't
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: have to accept everything that the other guy accepts about

  Speaker 1: America and is celebrating. Celebrate the things that you like
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and you enjoy and you're proud of in America. And everybody,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: if they have any kind of logical brain cell, can
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: find something about this country. And there's a lot about
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: this country to be proud of and happy of. So
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: celebrate on this Independence Day, A very good Friday to you.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I'm Ken Rozato, former New York City TV news anchor.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I was on Channel seven for twenty years. I was
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: on Channel five on Good Day New York before that,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and it's just so good to be with you here. Now.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I do a morning show over on on New Jersey,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: which is a New Jersey TV channel o NNJ dot com.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: You could stream it anywhere in America, and when I'm
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: not here, I do that. That's what I do to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: buy my coffee and donuts on New JERSEYNNJ dot com.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Stream it sometime, especially if you're a New Jersey person,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: check it out when I'm over there. We'd love for
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: you to do that. But otherwise, I listen to WOOR
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and have been a huge fan of Woires. Anyone here
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: will tell you I geek out when I see Curtis
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and when I see Lowry, and even when I see
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: my good friends Crash and Izzy and Chris, and when
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I walk in the hallways here, get all excited because
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I hear all these names on the air all the time,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and finally I get to see them in person. And
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I love coming in and doing that and what a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: perfect day to commute into Manhattan from my lovely garden
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: state of New Jersey. It was like, is he how
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: long did it take you to get in today? Is
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: he comes in from New Jersey too? He's telling me
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: forty five? All right, it took me thirty nine. I
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. Normally takes me an hour and five hour.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: In ten it took me thirty nine minutes. Because nobody's
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: in today. And for those who don't realize, the meter
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: rules are not in effect today. The meters are free,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: so you could park wherever there's a parking meter. So
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people know that. I
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: literally pulled up in front of the iHeart Tower, pulled
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: right up, perfect space right there in front, got in.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I felt like a VIP, very important person today. So anyway,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: it's good to be with you, Mark, enjoying the weekend.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I hear rumors that Mark is hanging out with Taylor
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Swift right now, helping her get her dress ready and everything.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: That's you know, Mark Simon, and he hangs out with
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the important people. Me I just come and I feel
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: when he's not here. But Mark hangs that with the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: important people. It would not surprise me if we saw
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: some some pictures posted of Mark at Taylor Swift's weating.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, I don't know that. That's not a confirmation.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It's just my gut telling me that that would be
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the case. I could hear him right now saying, hey, Risotto,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: stop it all righte Wor the Voice of New York.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Our phone lines are open. We want you to call
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and take part in the conversation today numbers eight hundred
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: three two one zero seven ten. Others may be closed
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: for business. We are live in person and open for
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: business eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Well,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you heard very stagic talking about it. You heard Curtis
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: talking about it. Larry's on VAK today. Good for him.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: The heat, of course, we're in the middle of a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: heat wave. Could hit one oh two in New York today.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Crazy heat. It's so oppressive. When you get a bead
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: like ninety two ninety three, you can't even tell the difference.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: At that point, your body just says, ough toomuch, too
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: much heat. I love the heat. I'll take warmth over
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: cold at anytime, but even I don't like it when
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it's this way. Stagnant, hot humid. It's just nasty. And
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of people were getting on Mayor
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie for saying keep your thermostats at seventy eight.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: But you know, I think the Republicans who were bashing
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie about that should actually rewind the tape. And look,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: did you know that President Trump in twenty fifteen, during
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a heat wave said keep your thermostats at seventy eight. Yeah?
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Also President Bush said keep your thermostats at seventy eight.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: So and I believe Mayor Mayor Giuliani said keep your
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: thermostats at seventy eight during a heat wave back then too.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: It's actually standard to say that. And I'll tell you why.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Can you figure out? Why is he? Do you know
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: why they say seventy eight? He's nodding, but he's not
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: telling me. Yes, is he nailed it? You nailed it, man.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: It's because it's twenty degrees cooler. But why is that significant?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: It's significant because even if you set your thermostat to sixty,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: your AC unit really can only get you between fifteen
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and at most thirty degrees. Most of them are ten
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: to twenty degrees. That's the best your air conditioning unit
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: will get you. So if it's one hundred degrees out,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: you're probably not going to get Even if you put
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: your thermostat down to sixty, you're not going to get
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: below seventy five. So set your thermostat at seventy five
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: or seventy six because it's not going to make a difference. Actually,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you could burn out the motor if it just keeps
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: going and going and going trying to get down to sixty.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: You'll freeze the coils, et cetera. You're better off just
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: setting it at seventy six or seventy eight. So they're
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: not entirely wrong. You ask any HVAC person, they will
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: tell you that you're the best. Air conditioning units, with
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the exception of major big industrial office buildings, will only
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: get you about fifteen at most thirty degrees fifteen to
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: twenty typical, So if it's one hundred one hundred and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: two out, you're not going to get below like upper seventies,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: even if you got the best big ole Oh we
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: got two zone air conditioning ken, Yeah, that's all you're
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: going to get, especially your upper units. If you have
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: like a two or three story house, the upstairs is
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: going to be about ten to fifteen degrees hotter than
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: downstairs because the heat is going to be baking your roof.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Anyone will tell you that. So that's why, as much
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: as there are a thousand things to get them, Mayor
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Mamdani for that isn't one of them. But here's where
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I will. You knew it wasn't going to be all
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: good about the kami, right, So Mayor mom, donnie what
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: he fails to mention because he's talking about the power
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: grid and the strain on the power grid, but he
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: fails to mention why the power grid is so strained. Yeah,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you could say it's everybody using the air conditioning ken. Yeah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: but you know what, in the last twenty years, we've
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: switched to air conditioning units that are way more energy efficient.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: We've switched to light bulbs that only use ten watts
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: or five watts instead of one hundred watts to give
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: us the same power. Right, We've switched to refrigeration units
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: that use half the power that the old ones used
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to use. On and on and on it goes. So
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: when you consider all that, we should have tons of
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: leftover energy, but we don't. Why there are a couple
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: of reasons. Number one, the good Democrats, with their intention
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: of saving energy and helping save Mother Earth with the environment,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: they have shut down fossil fuel generating plants, which are
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the most efficient and reliable energy generators we've ever had.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: They have fought to shut down fossil fuel plants and
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: New Jersey, New York, Connecticut every opportunity they could. And
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: then the most efficient and renewable resource we've ever created
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: for making electricity, nuclear power plants, any nuclear plant they could.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Southern New Jersey got shut down about seven years ago.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Indian Point under Andrew Cuomo couldn't wait to shut that
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: thing down, even though it was perfectly fine, it was
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: working great. Shut that thing down. That was like twenty
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to twenty five percent of the power for to try state,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: for gosh sake, came out of Indian Point shut it down.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: And what does that do? That just put more of
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a strain on the existing energy plants. So now every
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: time we have a heat situation like this, they tell
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: us to use less air conditioning. No, how about we
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: authorize more power plants. How about we build another smaller efficient,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: AI run nuclear power plant. You know, can't you can't
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: wind mill and solar panel yourself out of an energy crisis.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Florida tried. Florida's the sunshine state. They got more sun
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: down there than just about any other state in the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: whole Union except maybe California, New Mexico, and Florida realized
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: they had to have a combination of power generating plants.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: They do have solar plants, lots of them. But one
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: solar plant takes a footprint that is ten times the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: size of the equivalent fossil fuel plant to generate the
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: same electricity ten times the size, and that is relying
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: upon a full day of sun. If you don't have
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a full day of sun, for get it. And at
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: night it doesn't generate anything. You have to store in
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: batteries that after a certain number of years have to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: be stored in a landfill because they're no longer rechargeable.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: So this becomes an issue. That's why solar is not
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the end all be all, and windmills are not the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: end all be all. The Republicanism is saying we'll do
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: an above you know, select all way of looking at power.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Democrats don't want to hear it. They would rather shut
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: down the fossil fuel and the nuclear plants and just
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: live in a cave. Just live in a cave, rock
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: back and forth, eating bugs until we die, as opposed
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: to doing something practical. In New Jersey, Governor Murphy, I
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: used to love to call him, Governor Murphy, the man
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: worth seven billion dollars who needs a dentist to fix
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: those god awful teeth. Governor Murphy, you're right is he's
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: looking at me and laughing. Have you ever se go
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: online here? I defy you. Google Governor Murphy's teeth. Just
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: google that. They will pop there a thousand memes. It's
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I'll stop. It's not just crooked, it's like, eh, like
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you never mind having met them at very nice man,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: he's actually extremely nice. I'm sorry to be so mean,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Sorry to be so mean. Forgive me, forgive me, forgive me,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Father Forry of sind. I just made fun of Governor
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Murphy's teeth. Okay, I just had my confession. But Governor
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Murphy made sure. He and his Democrats, who control all
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: of the state of New Jersey, they shut down six
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: power plants. Okay, six power plants without us without a replacement.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Five were were a fossil fuel plants, and one was
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a nuclear plant. Now, in the case of two of
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the fossil plants, they needed some good rehab. And the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: question is do you spend money fixing them up and
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: making them more efficient or just shut them down. Okay,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I give them that, that's fifty to fifty, but before
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you shut them down, you needed to see that there
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: was a replacement. No, instead shut them all down, because
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: that's the Democrat solution. If it's fossil fuel, if it's nuclear,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: shut it down and we'll deal with it later. So
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: what did they do to deal with it? They ended
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: up buying power from other states, which is why New
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Jersey's energy rate per kilowatt hour is one of the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: most expensive in the entire country. So what was the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: solution from all the semi braindead Democrat voters in New Jersey.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Let's vote in another Democrat, this time more liberal in
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Mikey Cheryl who I get a kick out of the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: fact that there isn't a consultant on any of the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: big networks Fox, MS, now, CNN. There isn't a consultant
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: who knows what her name is pronounced, as they call
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: her Mickey Scherill. I've heard every name in the world,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: including by her own Democrats. They don't know. The woman's
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: name is Mikey Cheryl. Mikey Cheryl, who is terrified to
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: come on the air with me no matter where I go, terrified,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and her pr person or press person loves he has
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: some clip of me, either here or on New Jersey
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: making fun of her. Well, tough luck. Put on your
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: big girl pants. Mikey, you're now the governor, you were
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: a congresswoman. Put on your big girl pants. Talk show
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: host will make fun of you like I made fun
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: of Governor Murphy. I make fun of Republicans too. Plenty
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: of things to make fun of with Republicans. Dot stop
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: being so sensitive. Put on your big girl pants and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: come on and take some questions. I'm not going to
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: rip you apart. I'm not gonna yell at you. I
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: will be very respectful to you, Governor, but Governor Cheryl,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: who doesn't speak like that. Governor Cheryl, you know the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: idea that she would sit here and say, we will
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: have a solution on day one for the energy crisis.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: What was the solution? Typical Democrat solution. Let's empower a panel,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: so this way she could say she's doing something and
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: all it is is to do nothing. Speak group who
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: gets together, it will take them two years to come
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: up with a report that's going to cost US thirty
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: million dollars and it's not going to do a damn thing.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: The only thing she did allow was to research, research
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: what it would be to open a small, efficient nuclear
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: power plant. Didn't mean we're going to do it. It's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: so that she could shut her opponents up and say, look,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: we're searching it right now. Yeah, okay, so by the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: time you and I are both dead, we'll get a
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: report from Governor Cheryl telling us what the research showed
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: about having a small nuclear power plant in New Jersey.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: We had a big one. We know what the research
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: tells us the idea. Now we have companies telling us
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that using AI, you can have much smaller, much more efficient,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: much better built and run nuclear power facilities that you
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: don't have to worry about. You know the reason why
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: we had the problem with Three Mile Island. Literally the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: guys at the switch at two o'clock in the morning
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: fell asleep. That's why look it up. Go online, go
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: take a look at their videos. You could see on
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: YouTube about what happened at three Mile Island. They fell
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: asleep and they didn't notice the big dials behind them going.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: The temperature of the core was rising. These guys were
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: sound asleep. That's what happened. If you have AI monitoring
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: those things twenty four to seven, that thing goes up
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: a tenth of a degree, you'll know about it. Everybody'll
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: know about it. That's the difference. A nuclear power facility
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: today would not be run like it was fifty years ago.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: And that's what Three Mile Islands technology was fifty years ago.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: That's why running up. Instead of having one giant nuclear facility,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: we're talking about proposing a number of smaller facilities that
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: are much easier to maintain, much easier to build. Instead
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: of taking ten years to build and ten years to
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: get online, these things could be built in a year
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: or two and would be online a year or two
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: after that. But you have to have the forethought, You
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: have to have the open mindedness that a Republican administration
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: has when it comes to energy, as opposed to Democrats
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: who literally just want us to go back to the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Stone Age or crawl in a cave and die, because
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: in their view, every life form on the planet deserves
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the rule of survival of the fittest, except for humans.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Humans we're not entitled to that. We don't deserve to
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: be here. It's all about guilt and self flagellation. With Democrats,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: we're the evil, bad people, especially white males. Among all
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: of the group, white males the worst, and everybody else
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: kind of falls in line after that. That's the way
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the modern Democrat Party looks things. Seven ten wore the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Voice of New York. We are wide open to take
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: your calls eight hundred three to two one zero seven
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: ten eight hundred three two one zero seven ten case
• 15:11
