  Speaker 1: Now the Mark Simone Show on seven ten woor filling
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: in for Mark, here's Ken Rosato.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: As it is Memorial Day, Mark is off enjoying a
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: well deserved long weekend, and I hope that you are
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: spending time with family and friends, enjoying the freedoms that
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: so many fought and died for. And that is why
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: our vets who lost their lives defended this country so
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: we all wouldn't have to worry about being attacked. As
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: a friend of mine who was a coastguardsman would always say,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: don't worry about a thing. We got this. But while
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: it's a blessing to be able to enjoy the day, relaxing,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: maybe having a hot dog, you tell stories with people
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: we care about, we do need to take some time
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: to honor the great people who died for us, whether
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: in active duty or in training, or even people who
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: were at the burn pits and they came back and
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: they suffered cancer and died after the fact. The fact
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: is they sacrificed their lives.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: They went in.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: They didn't they didn't want to die, but they went
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: in knowing that that was a very possible a thing
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: that could happen, that they could lose their lives joining
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the military, and this is still an all voluntary military
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and these people ended up dying. That's why we have
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: this day for them. They need to be revered. So
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: whether you take a moment of silence, you say a prayer,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: you make a toast, please just take a moment, at
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the very least a moment and dedicate the joy that
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: you experience on this day with your family and friends
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: to the honorable people who died to make it possible.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: And may they all rest in peace. And may we
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: eventually arrive at a time when we no longer have
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: war and nobody dies in conflict. Former New York City
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: TV news actor Can Rozatto in for Mark Today. I
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: spent twenty years anchoring the morning and also the noon
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: newscast at Channel seven here in New York. I also
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: used to host Good Day new York on Channel five.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Before that, I was on the radio about a half
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: a dozen radio stations all around the Tri state.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Area for years.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Way before that, Gosh, I used like fifty different radio names. Hey,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: you're listening to those stakes of wax. I did that,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: yeah back in the day. Nowadays, you'd catch me out
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: in New Jersey streaming TV channel. It's called on New
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Jersey o NNJ dot com o NNJ dot com. You
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: can see that anywhere in the US if you get
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: a chance, check it out. Please when you're when you uh,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: after you've listened to wor please for at least fifty
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: hours straight, then.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: You're allowed to go check that out for a minute.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I promise.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, we got so much to talk about today. It
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: may be a holiday, but there is a lot of
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: news happening. The phone lines are open. Please give us
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: a call one eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: One eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. So
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: if you're like some of my friends, in fact, I'm
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: gonna mention him by name. My friend Earl in Putnam County,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: former cop, greatest guy in the world, Earl Diehard Conservative,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: getting really pissed off at the president right now, saying
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: what is going on?
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Ken?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: All of my friends are giving up on him. Whever
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I say, Earl, take a breath. We literally text sometimes
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: two in the mornings. I take a breath. So the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: question is, and I know a lot of people are asking,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: what is the deal? Are we close to solving things
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: in Iran?
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: President Trump vowed again yesterday that Iran would never have
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon, and that is the most important thing
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: in his book. That after some Republican senators were a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: little nervous about the details of this piece plant currently
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: being negotiated.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: Right now, when negotiating, and we'll see, but either we're
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: going to get it one way or the other.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: They're not going to have a nuclear rip.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Well, on Saturday, Trump said his negotiators were finalizing an agreement,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: but then yesterday he kind of pulled back a little
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: bit and said he'd posts or he posted rather that
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: he would wait until the right agreement could be struck,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and he said that he told his representatives not to
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: rush into a deal, and that time is on our side.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Once a deal is struck, world oil prices should drop
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: fairly quickly. I know they're telling you right now, Oh,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: it could take months of years. That's not going to
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: take months years. It's not going to come down as
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: quickly as it went up. Of course the speculators all
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: made their money. But it will come down, and it
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: will come down quicker than they're saying. It just won't
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: be overnight. It may take a couple of months, but
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: you'll see how quickly and steadily it comes down. And
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: if you're like me, I think you understand that as
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: long as the American public sees the oil prices or
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: gas prices in the correct direction, even if it's only
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: dropping in nickel a week, that gets the point across.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: It doesn't have to drop by a dollar next week.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: But as the prices come down, that will help because
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: worldwide supply would increase. With all the oil that's currently
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: stuck in the Strait of Horror Moves, it'll be heading
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: out to the countries that need it. Well, we want
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: it opened, we want it free.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: We don't want tolls.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: It's international, it's an international waterway and not charging tolls.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: That was Trump on the Straight of Horror Moves. Reopening
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: that should happen sooner rather than later. In Iran would
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: have to agree to allow safe passage of all vessels
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: through the strait, no matter what country. Also, Iran would
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: hand over its nuclear dust and would promise not to
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: sue the development of a nuclear weapon.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: We get the highly rich, we will get it. We
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: don't need it, we don't want it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: We'll probably destroy it after we get it, but we're
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: not going to let them have it.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the key.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: And right now we're getting different words again from different
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: factions in Iran. Iran is saying that we are close
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: to a deal. They have acknowledged that, but they said
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: that they still have not worked out the details on
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: the nuclear aspect of it. But President Trump is saying, oh,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: that is the whole plan, that is ninety percent of it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: So don't buy what they're saying, because they're not going
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to get away with this, with having anything related to
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: anything nuclear. They will have to make an agreement that
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: they will abolish any nuclear plans and we will get
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: their nuclear dust. And if down the line they try
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to do their nefarious deed again, they're going to have
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: to start from scratch. And by the way, for those
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: who don't realize, you think oll ken, they're going to
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: do their nuclear plan no matter what, we won't know. Yeah,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: we will know. Do you know that from satellites we
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: can detect anywhere there is even tiny amounts of nuclear
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: capability in terms of uranium stores and things like that,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: we can detect it from the sky. So if Iran
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: tries to play the game, we'll know it before anyone
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: knows it except for the people actually storing it or
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: creating it. We will know it, so believe me. We
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: don't even have to send inspectors in on the ground.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: We can detect it from the air. And if we
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: sniff out a little bit of uranium, I think Iran
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: will be in heap, bigger trouble. So just watch out
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: for that. Seven to ten wo R the Voice of
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: New York Ken Rosatto in for Mark on Memorial Day.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: And of course again some Iranian officials of poop poo
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: this whole plan. The problem is that you still do
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: have and Marcus talked about this on the show. Different
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: factions in Iran, all controlling different segments. Some control the
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: military equipment, some people are the religious folks, and everybody
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: is trying to take control. They haven't even really consolidated
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: control in their own country, let alone who was in
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: charge to talk on behalf of Iran with the United States.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: But Trump will only have so much patience and either
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: somebody steps up to the plate and has total say,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: or that country is going to be flattened, as simple
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: as that. Hate to say it, because there are good
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: human beings there, but then you got to do something
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: to step up and overthrow your government because the people
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: in charge there right now are useless. Seven ten WR
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the Voice of New York eighties, thirteen minutes after ten
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: o'clock on Memorial Day Monday, and police in DC if
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: you heard this over the weekend, they shot and killed
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: a gunman near the White House. After the twenty one
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: year old pulled out a revolver. Who carries a revolver anymore?
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: He had a revolver. He fired at a Secret Service checkpoint.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: The problem was that nearby inside the White House at
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: the time, the President was there, so of course that
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: puts everybody on alert. They had to have lockdown at
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: the White House. The shooting happened just after six pm
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: on Saturday, and a man approached the Secret Service checkpoint
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: that was at tenth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest. He
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: pulled a gun from his bag. He started to shoot
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: at officers. The problem is when you shoot at armed people,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: you better be accurate. Fortunately he was not, so all
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the Secret Service fired back and killed him. He has
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: identified as twenty one year old in are best. He's
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: from Dundock, Maryland, and they know him because he tried
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: to break in a year ago. He tried to get
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: through one of their checkpoints. They say he seemed to
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: be mentally unstable because a year ago he claimed to
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: be Jesus Christ, he claimed to be God the Father,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: he claimed to be demons. He added all different claims.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: The question is somebody like that has to know people, family, friends,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: back home, and how does everyone say, oh, yeah, in
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: a series, he's you know, he's just a funny guy. Really,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: how do you let somebody like that around and way
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: to get the gun? And I'm sure that'll be investigated.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: But if somebody is that mentally unstable, what's he doing
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: with a gun? Because you do have to pass a test,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: you know, you do have to fill up paperwork, and
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: if you've been found to be delane stable, you cannot
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: get a carry permit. We don't even know if if
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: you had the gun legally or not, but I'm sure
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: that'll come out in the investigation. A good samaritan this
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: is great news.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Get this.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: A good Samaritan found a fanny pack in Florida stuffed
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: with thirty thousand dollars in cash that was forgotten accidentally
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: inside the bathroom of a wah wah. For those not
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: from New Jersey, you probably what the heck is a
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: wah wah. It sounds like something, sounds like you want
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: a glass of something to drink. Wah wah is a
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: fantastic kind of quickie mark kind of a place. And
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: they started in the you know, the South Jersey Philadelphia area,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and they've now spread all over the country. Anyway, instead
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: of pocketing the money, this guy spent days tracking down.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: The owner of the money.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: What would you do if you found thirty thousand dollars cash?
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: It was no id, no name, What would you do?
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Be honest?
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I imediately assumed that there was a camera trained down me,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: and they want to see if I'll do the right thing.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: So me, I don't care how broke I was, I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: would probably do the same thing. I'd call the police,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: try to at least make an attempt to find the owner. Well,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: this guy, Luis Salazar, is a construction worker. He didn't
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: know what to do. I could have used the money himself,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: but he decided now that would not be the moral thing.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: This was back on May third in Palm Beach County, Florida.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: So it was in a black fanny pack. Imagine that
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: full of singles, twenties and one hundred dollars bills. So
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: what happened was he decided to spend a week finding
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the guy or woman who lost this fanny pack out.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: He's assuming it was a guy. It was in a
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: men's rum, so he had no evidence. He didn't know
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: where he could start looking. He had no id. The
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: twenty four year old owner of that fanny pack, though,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: didn't realize he had misplaced the money until he was
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: about fifty miles away and he almost had a heart attack.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: What it happened was the owner of the bag. Everyone
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: right away thinks.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: So it was probably drug bunny.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: No, it wasn't. The owner of the bag is only
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: in his early twenties. His sister had a medical emergency
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: needed a medical procedure. The guy had a Pokemon collection
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: he had saved since he was a kid.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: He sold it.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was like an online deal,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: but he met a guy and he sold it, and
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: that's why he had that much cash. It had to
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: be sold and it had to be sold in cash.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: So he ended up getting thirty twenty three dollars in
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: cash for all the Pokemon stuff, and he stopped by
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: the bathroom. He stopped to get something to drink at
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the wah wah, and he laid down the bag and
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: forgot it. And thankfully, if anyone were to find it,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: this man Salasar. Mister Salazar found it and was a
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: good construction worker, hard working man, and was able to
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: track down through the police because he contacted police. He
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: was able to track down the owner, he says, when
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: he presented the money back and the owner knew how
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: much money was in it. That's how we knew it
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: was the right guy. He was able to say exactly
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: how much was in there. He broke down in tears
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and hugged and gave a kiss to the man. But
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: there are good people on this planet, very good people.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: And mister Salisar's like I said, he's a hard working
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: construction man. But he said, I prefer to work for
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: my money, and I knew this wasn't my money.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Good man.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: God bless you, mister Salisar, and I hope you come
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: into millions on your own because of the honesty, that
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: little bit honesty, quite a bit of honesty that you showed.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I hope you are rewarded manyfold as a result. Seven
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: ten wr The Voice of New York. Now we had
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: a nice story and we shift to a gross story.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard about this. Have you
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: heard about the so called preppy Princeton killer. So this
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: is a guy who was behind bars. He was being
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: held in jail. He wasn't convicted yet, but apparently there
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: is video allegedly showing him stabbing his own brother to
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: death and beating him with golf clubs till he was dead.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: And on video it shows that he ripped out Sorry, folks,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: put down your food for a second. He ripped out
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: his brother's eye and consumed it. Yeah, he was later
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: found dead in his jail cell. But as it turns out,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: it looks like the good liberals of New Jersey were
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: probably not going to prosecute him because they believed that
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: he was mentally unstable. Now you said, well, of course,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: someone who would do that is mentally unstable, But again,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: he wasn't metally unstable. Apparently the day before he did
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: that to his brother, right, So what point did he
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: become metally unstable? And at some point we have to
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: address the problem of metal instability because it's it's really
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: you know, you could use that as an excuse for anything,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: but yes, it's pretty gross, and yes, it really did happen,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: and of course it happened in New Jersey. And I
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: got to leave you with this. I thought, before we
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: go to break, have you heard about the you visa scam?
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Check this out.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: If you are here illegally, you can't get a visa
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: to stay, or can you? There is something called a
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: you visa, like the letter you visa. It's meant for
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: crime victims. So if you're an illegal alien you get
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: robbed or assaulted, and there's proof, like there's a surveillance
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: camera showing that you were beaten, you were robbed, et cetera.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: It is partially out of the goodness of our hearts
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: because you were the victim of a crime in our country.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: And it's also so police can use you to rite
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: out the person who did the crime so they can
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: go after the criminal, so they keep you here as
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: a witness in essence. So it's called the U Visa program. Well,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: under the Biden administration, of course, the illegals got wise
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: to it. It was passed among them. At about fifty
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: thousand U visas were issued under the Biden administration to people.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: And once they get that U visa, they could stay
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: they're here. It's like you're a legal resident at that point.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: So there are literally fifty thousand people walking around, and
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: then of course they send for their families, and then
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: before you know it, you have five hundred thousand people here.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Now it turns out we find out many of the
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: assaults were staged. They were staged. There are whole criminal
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: syndicates who offer their services on camera wearing masks to
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: pretend to beat you up and rob you. So they
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: made deals with bodega owners all over the country. They
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: made deals with people on the street through immigration centers,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: et cetera. Said you give us, you know, a thousand bucks,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: show up at this bodega at two am at whatever,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: and we'll pretend to beat you up. We'll go light
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: on you so you're not going to have any broken
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: bones or permanent damage. And then you show the video
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: to the immigration they'll give you a U visa you
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: could stay. And so fifty thousand people have done it
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: so far. Well now since Trump took office, that number
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: has been cut way down. Very few have been able
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: to apply. And by the way, about fifty people have
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: been thrown in jail because they were outed. They were
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: caught doing this crime. But guess how many people have
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: now applied for a you visa since Trump took office
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: because they know that it's going to be difficult if
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: they're here illegally to get citizenship. Four hundred thousand people
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: have applied. So suddenly everybody is assaulting illegal aliens all
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: over the country.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Four hundred thousand.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: It went from a few thousand to four hundred thousand. Like,
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: we all know who the people here are illegally, and
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: we're all going to assault them. It's just amazing. If
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: there is a scam to be had, somebody will have
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: the scam. Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten and
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: seven ten. War is the voice of New York. Mark

• 17:21
  Speaker 2: nine years old. I've been listening to the many of
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: the call letters that are housed in these buildings since
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I was a kid, and so to walk in these
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: hallowed halls and see some of the personalities that I

• 17:41
  Speaker 2: all my little leg goodies here on your desk.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: I promise, all right.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Seven Ted Wi the Voice of New York Again eight
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten eight hundred three
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: to two one zero seven ten may have heard about
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: the hantavirus. Yeah, everybody's talking about hantavirus, any bola, handt
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: to virus, any bold and I heard it over the
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: weekend a lot of a lot of newscasts, and having
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: been a news anchor for the majority of my career,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: and look, we can't not report a story like that.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: You have to do.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: It, but you have to do it not in headline
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: terroristic fashion. You have to tell the whole story. Is
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: hantavirus on the rise right now throughout the country. Yes,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: here's the part they don't tell you before you get nervous.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Hantavirus cases rise every year at this time of the year.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Do you know why, Well, let me give you a
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: hint how as to how hantavirus gets spread, And then
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: you could probably put two and two together. The only
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: way to spread handavirus is well, with one exception actually
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: the very rare type, but ninety nine percent of the time,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: the way to spread handed virus is with contact with
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: rat droppings and rat urine, rat feces, et cetera. So
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: this is springtime, right, this is when we clean up
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: the garage. We clean out the attic well during the
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: cold winter, the rats were nesting and they gave birth
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: to little baby rats and mice. Right now, so all
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: the built up feces and urine that's dry. Okay, You
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: go to clean out your garage in the corner, you
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: move a box, you say, what is that? You sweep
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: it up, and all of a sudden, dust goes in
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: the air that could.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Be dried urine, dried feces from rats.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: That's how you can catch it if the rat was
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: infected with handavirus. Now it became a news item because
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: in the last month or so, we had a ship
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: that had a bunch of passengers and apparently there were
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: rats on the ship and they got the virus from
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: the rats on the ship. But normally you do not
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: have to panic about that. And yes, cases are on
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: the rise, but the chances of you catching it are slim.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: And it's not because we're gonna all get attacked by
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: the handa virus. So I just want people to catch
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: their breath and understand, yes, it's on the rise. Yes
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: you should be careful if you clean the garage where gloves,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: wear a mask, maybe goggles, take a shower after you
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: you clean out the garage or have a professional do it.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Make sure you disinfect everything. But no, there is no
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: reason to go into panic mode. It's ten thirty two
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: right now, seven ten w R, the Voice of New York.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: We go to our busy phones. Gene and Toms River,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: good morning, good on and Ken.
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: Just to let you know that I am a fan
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: of yours and I wish you were back on TV
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: or on the radio in New York area. I live
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: in New Jersey. I met you twenty five years ago. Ken,
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: you were on thirty nine Street in Brooklyn. I said
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: to you, you look your bed looking in person that
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: you are on TV.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm so glad my mother sent you that check, Jean,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: and that's very nice of you. Jean. What was what
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: was I do you remember what I was in Brooklyn for?
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I follow you there for story you were working.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: I don't know what you had your microphone, but two
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: you had it all for the when I spoke to you,
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: But I don't remember exactly you know what you were
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: doing there? I was still I had my call being repaired.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: That's why I was on thirty ninth stream. Can like
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: to say something. I am a new York Mets fan
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: disappointed New York Met fan, but I still miss Kate
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: Smith singing God Bless America at the end of the
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: seventh and in Yankee Stadium. I don't know whatever happened.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: I know she must have said something when she was
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: young to hurt some people. But I growing up in
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: New York, I'm sure you said and I said something
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: to hurt somebody in anger that we regret. I still
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: miss her voice. I don't like Donald Merrill whatever is.
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: I forgot his name already, but I just wish they
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: would put her back on to sing God Bless America.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: And she was, I mean, she was one of the
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: classic voices Broadway voice in a Kate Smith and God.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: I'm maraga all the.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Old tape recordings of her singing that powerful God Bless America.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: It seems like we we've gotten away from that. You
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: notice they don't do a lot of any anything that
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: mentions God. They try to get away from whatever. But
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: I'm within, Yes, my family are all Mets fans too,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: so we're suffering the pain right now as well. Maybe
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: maybe it is a mayor's curse. You believe it's a
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: mayor's curse.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: Cause on this I think so.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Gee, I thank you so much for calling. Let's remember
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: the people who sacrifice their lives for us on this
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Memorial Day, and hopefully you have some time with family
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: and we appreciate the call. Ging, thank you so much
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: for calling in.
• 22:37

  Speaker 2: Good to be in for Mark today and Mark will
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: be back in the seat tomorrow. So I'm promised to
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: dust everything Mark. I use the disinfectant wipes and everything
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: big of me right. Well, on these days off, people
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: do look for things to do. Showbiz four to one
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: one's Roger Friedman knows more about entertainment than just about
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: anybody else. Good morning to you, Roger.
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: Good morning. I don't know about that, but we'll see.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, I do know one thing because I actually
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: read Showbiz four one one. So the Devil Wears product
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: too is en fuego surpassing what six hundred plus million dollars?
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's been a huge hit.
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: I mean, nobody expected this, but people really it's sort
• 23:35
  Speaker 9: of like a redux of the first movie from twenty
• 23:39
  Speaker 9: years ago, and people loved those characters and the fact
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: that they're all still around and that they look great,
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: and it's a witty script. It's not really much different
• 23:49
  Speaker 9: from the first movie, but there's a couple of a
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: couple of new things, and the audience seems to just
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: eat it up with a spoon, so good for them.
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: It can't hurt. It's like a great dessert, you know.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: But it's the good thing is you have a whole
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: generation of people who were babies when that came out
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: who just want to see this and are in love
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: with all these people all over again, thinking wow, Meryl Streep,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: who's that you know? And what great actresses and actors
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: these people are, and to see the fabulous fashion and
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: everything else. So this was a big deal. I think
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I know people who've gone back several times stat to
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: see it.
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: Well, it's good for Anne Hathaway because I think that
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: she has an oscar but she's been waiting for something
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: big to come along again and this is nice. Yeah,
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: so she's she rerely deserves the success, and Meryl Streep
• 24:37
  Speaker 9: is always terrific, and Emily Blunt is fun and Stanley
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: Tucci so so.
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: It's all good.
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: But I think the big movie of the weekend, and
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: the movie you could see today with this bad weather
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: is The Mandalorian and Grogu, which I loved a new
• 24:52
  Speaker 9: Star Wars movie.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: And that made like one hundred it's like one hundred
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: and seventy mils so far or something like that, one
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty mil.
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: Well, well, yeah, worldwide. Yeah, it's a huge, it's a
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: big hit. And as you watch the Mandalorian TV series,
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: which I didn't originally. Now I've gone back and looked
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: at it, but I wasn't following this when it was happening.
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: In the Mandalorian TV series is three seasons and it
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: leads up to this movie. And now, of course there'll
• 25:17
  Speaker 9: probably be two more movies. But it's it's totally charming.
• 25:23
  Speaker 9: It's just great, and it's a real escape from our reality,
• 25:27
  Speaker 9: which is pretty dire. So it's nice to get away
• 25:31
  Speaker 9: from everything and go visit with the Star Wars people.
• 25:36
  Speaker 9: And of course the mandal the Grogu, you know, is
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: like a little Yoda they don't say Yoda, but that's
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: he's apparently the baby Yoda or something like that. And
• 25:45
  Speaker 9: the Mandalorian is Pedro Pascal, who's sort of like an
• 25:48
  Speaker 9: early Han Solo kind of character.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: And even the word Grogu doesn't that sound like a
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: cute little baby named.
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: Yes, he does. He's not a baby though. He's very smart.
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: I give him a lot of credit. He could get
• 26:01
  Speaker 9: Best Supporting Actor.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: So he's it's very good the Mandalorian.
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: And of course the Michael Jackson movie is booming, just
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: passed three hundred million dollars on this way to four
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: hundred and I just looked on iTunes on Amazon and
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: Michael Jackson's Thriller is number.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: One, uh huh, no shots And he.
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: Has four other albums in the top ten and a
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: bunch more through the top one hundred. And this is amazing.
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: These out these songs are more than forty years old.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: But they're timeless songs. These these were the reason why
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: they were such massive hits in the day is that
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: they're timeless. And you have younger people now listening to
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: it who never would have given it a listen because
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: we're in an error. Remember when we were kids. We
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: would listen to the radio and you could hear a
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: top forty station. You would be exposed to different music.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Today they're not. They listened to their They download their
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: one MP three that their friend heard on YouTube, and
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: that's why they they're exposed to music. I on the
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: show I do a new jury, see what I guess.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Last week we had the kid who played Tito in
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Michael in the film and I asked him, I said,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: you know, were you raised as a Michael Jackson fan
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: and he said, well, my parents only like seventeen.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: He said.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: My parents were listened, you know, years ago, and I
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: kind of thought it was great music, of course, but
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: then I had to become Tito, so I had to
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: learn everything. But it was fascinating to hear how he
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: developed the character. But it is timeless music.
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: Well, this is what's going to happen. Not next year,
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: but in April twenty twenty eight, there's going to be
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: the Four Beatles movies and that'll be something.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: Paul McCartney has a new album coming out on Friday.
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: I don't know if you know about this.
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: It's called The Boys of Dungeon Lane, and they want
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: me to call it a masterpiece. It's hard for me
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: to call it a masterpiece because of Sergeant Pepper, Abby Road,
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: the White Album, Hate jud and all that. But you
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: know what, it's Paul McK it's a fabulous album and
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: it's probably his best album since two thousand and Evans.
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: It's a record called Flaming Pie. It's just a beautiful,
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: beautiful record with lots of potentials and very complex compositions
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: and arrangements and beauty, and it's very well sung. I
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: know he's sounded sort of rough on TV, but it
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: sounds great on the records.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Old he could sounds he could stand there and just
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: be Paul McCartney.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: And I would watch well.
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: But he hasn't just stood there, which is the interesting thing,
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: because that's what I say in this review. I just
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: put up on Showbiz four on one. He could just
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: you know, do something, put it out and say that's it.
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: But he's really done. These are fourteen songs. There isn't
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: a dud in the bunch. They are all terrific, and
• 28:47
  Speaker 9: it's really kind of shocking that this stuff is still
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: pouring out of his head.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: He said to Stephen Colbert a couple of years ago,
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: he was on Colbert and Colbert said to him, I
• 28:58
  Speaker 9: know everyone asks you this, but how do you keep writing?
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: How did you write these songs?
• 29:02
  Speaker 9: And he said he starts giving him a lot of
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: different reasons that Paul looks at him and he says, well,
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: maybe it's just that I'm a genius and he is,
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: and You're like, I think that's what it is. He
• 29:13
  Speaker 9: doesn't even really know how he writes the songs. They
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: just pour through him. And this new album is just
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: full of these songs. It's fascinating. And I've listened to
• 29:23
  Speaker 9: it about ten times already in the last week that
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: I've had it for review, and it's going to as
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: soon as the CD comes in, it's going to be
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: in my car forever.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: And we only about a minute. Let but we can't
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: depart without talking about Billy Joel and how he wants
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: nothing in terms of a movie made about him. So
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: is it because of the rights to his music? Is
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: that what that's about?
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: No?
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: Now, this guy, there's a guy who is his manager
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: from nineteen sixty six to nineteen seventy two, when Billy
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: had a group called the Hassles. This was before he
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: became a solo artist, and the music's not very good.
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: Uh and and Billy owns all the music. But this
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: manager and then the manager, this manager has gone, I
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: know what he's heard from him again, and now after
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: all these years, he probably he's probably in his eighties,
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: and he wants to cash in on knowing Billy Joel.
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: So he commissioned someone to write a movie about his
• 30:18
  Speaker 9: time with Billy. But of course Billy owns the rights
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: to his own life story, and he own hits to
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: his songs. And this they've told this man several times,
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: you cannot make this movie, and he announced it. Anyway,
• 30:32
  Speaker 9: it's not gonna happen. There's this, there's no way it
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: can happen. And it's terrible when these old managers try
• 30:38
  Speaker 9: to come along, old people who used to know stars
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: come along and say, well, time to cash in on
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: the stars. You know, five decade career, I've done nothing
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: but wait for this. It's terrible, so kind of cheesy.
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: Well, Billy Joel's not going to happen.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Billy Joel deserves something great because he is an American icon.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: There's no question you may or may or may not
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: like his music, but you can't deny it's brilliant music
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: and lots of it, and they were all massive hits.
• 31:03
  Speaker 9: You cannot like his music, of course, I can't forget
• 31:06
  Speaker 9: about it. You can't. Everyone should like everyone. One hundred
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: and fifty shows in Madison Square Garden. Hey tell us
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: you're how popular here?
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Is always at least one song that you will love
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: that Billy Joel is right now, there's a lot of
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: them that I love. I mean, Bottle of Red about
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: why you know you can? How do you not love that?
• 31:23
  Speaker 9: That's just it's he's a and he's a great guy,
• 31:26
  Speaker 9: and he's a New York hero, and you know we
• 31:29
  Speaker 9: love him.
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: So we don't like people being taken a that's it,
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: Hub good right.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Good man, You're I totally agree with you and Billy Joel.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: We are treasured. He is a treasure. I should say,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: we are lucky to have you here in the New
• 31:41

• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Very good to be with you on Memorial Day Monday,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: and this very special day. Remember those people who sacrificed
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: it all for us to have our freedom and our safety.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Let's go to our busy phones right now. Good morning, Naples.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: You are on the air.
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: Yes, Ken, yes, yeah, Tell Nicky Shirley to stop warning
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: about ice and lower our lower our taxes and lower
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: are utilities and leave ice, let them do their job.
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: And that's the and then that's the deal.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: I will you.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: And the only way we're going.
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: To stop her is all your Republicans get out and
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: vote in the primary next Tuesday.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: All right, you mean Nikey Cheryl. I was saying.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: It took me about five minutes. And who the heck
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: is Nicky.
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: Shirley Surly is the guy with the fraud?
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Oh that's oh yeah, that's I know. Give me the
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: kid who went to Minnesota and.
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: I read in my paper she worried about ice. Let
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: ice do their job.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: You know what it is. She wants to get reelected.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: So badly, and she could taste it, and that's all
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: she's playing the game. Mikey Cheryl is so protected and
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: insulated in New Jersey. Her people, her handlers, will not
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: let her do any show other than MS now. They
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: will not let her on. There maybe an occasional CNN
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: if it's not friendly media, they won't let her on.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: I'm a journalist thirty years in the New York area,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: forty years overall. Right, I've won seven Emmy Awards. I
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: want about a half dozen other awards. You would think
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: if there's anyone she would talk to. And I've always
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: given politicians a fair shake. I've interviewed probably twenty twenty
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: five major politicians, including three presidents. I would give Mikey
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Cheryl a very fair time. Right, she refuses to let
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: me sit down and talk to her.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: She will not do it.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: So there you go. You know, I mean, hey, what
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: do you think I'm gonna do?
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: Bite?
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: But her press secretary says, have.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: You ever heard of what Rosatto says about Mikey Cheryl?
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: What did I say about Mikey Cheryl? If she gets
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: called a task, we're going to call her to task
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: on things. But she is welcome to refute what I say.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: She's a big person.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: She can do that.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Put on your governor's pants and come and sit down
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: and talk to us. We appreciate the phone call. Thank
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: you very much. The number again, eight hundred three to

  Speaker 2: died for. We hope the same two that you are
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: enjoying time with your family and friends. But remember that
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: this is why our vets who lost their lives defending

  Speaker 2: our country did so so that we don't have to
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: worry about being attacked, that we could enjoy our time
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: with family and friends. But that doesn't mean we should
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: forget them. Always take a moment, especially on a day
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: like this, to lift a toast, or to say thank you,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: or say a prayer or just a moment of silence.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Anything.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Put out a flag today or approach a vet, do
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: something to show your gratitude toward or for those people
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: who fought and died for us, or who died in training,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: or who died after they got back from war because
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: of exposure to a chemical or something. These people really
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: gave it all. I mean we say gave it all
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: for a lot of things. They truly gave it all.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: And we thank all those people who sacrificed the ultimate
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: sacrifice so that we can enjoy our country. Seven ten

  Speaker 2: at seven ten wor anyway we want to pass on that,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: we will take your calls at eight hundred three to
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten, eight hundred three to two
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: to one zero seven ten. For those who are thinking
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: about a summer vacation and you were thinking about jet
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: setting off to Europe, well you might to keep those
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: fingers crossed because of what is going on in terms
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: of fuel right now around the world. Yes, we have
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: tons of fuel here in the United States. We're producing
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: more than enough. In fact, we are a net exporter
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: of oil and fuel. Because President Trump has taken off
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: the the what's the word I'm looking for, He's basically
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: gotten rid of a lot of the environmental restrictions.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: If you will that, yes, thank.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: You, crash our earsid you mean take the gloves off
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: can yes, thank you, crash crash at is coffee.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: I didn't.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: And so as a result, we have an abundance of
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: fuel which has kept oil prices in check here. But
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: I know because of what's going out of the Strait
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: of hour moves with Iran, prices have come up, but
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: they've come up a lot more. I don't mean to
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: juggle like we have nothing. We're paying nothing compared to
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: what that paying in Europe right now because the cost
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: of oil there is so high. Remember Russia, China and
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: much of Europe gets a lot of its oil from
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: the area. That is the rate of horror moves. And
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: right now fuel prices are very high. Well for jets
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: they require that jet fuel, and right now there is
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: a major shortage in Europe of jet fuel. So you
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: can get jet fuel here, tons of it. We have
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: an ample supply. Problem is once the jet flies to Europe,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: it has to fly back right so it doesn't have
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: an available supply. So there are many airlines, many of
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: the biggies have canceled flights coming from Europe back to
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: the United States. So if you are looking to fly
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: around trip might be able to get there and can't
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: get back if you're looking to fly around trip, just
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: check with your carrier. They started in the past week
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: or so canceling a lot of European flights or not
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: flying to certain destinations. You might win to check ahead
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: or have a contingency plan, or hopefully you have flight
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: insurance or travel insurance and you make sure that you're
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: backed up. Although now I'm reading that many of the
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: travel insurance companies do not account for something that is
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: out of their control, like a shortage of jet fuel,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: so they may or may not cover you for that.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: So even then, if you're going to buy flight insurance
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: or travel insurance, make sure that something like a flight
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: being canceled due to jet fuel shortages that is covered.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: But we hope you enjoy your summer one way or
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: the other. Remember there are plenty of good places right
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: here in the US. Think back five years during the pandemic.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: I remember we were supposed to fly to Portugal and
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: we couldn't because we would have been quarantined in Portugal
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: for two weeks. And that was my vacation time was
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: two weeks. So what would the point have been. You
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: fly there for two weeks in quarantine, you come back.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: So we decided to do a bunch of regional trips,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: and I'm glad we did. We went to Newport, Rhode Island.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: I have never been. It was phenomenal, just a beautiful
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: place to go to, and it's driving distance. You can
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: go to so many places in Pennsylvania that had just
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: gorgeous the lakes. Go upstate New York, they're beautiful places.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Go to like George is if you've never been, it's gorgeous.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Go out to Montauku. There are some wonderful places all
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: within driving distance of here. Go down the Jersey Shore,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: go to the mountains, the mountains northwestern New Jersey. You think, well,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: that's great for the winter, ken it's wonderful. In the summer,
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: it's terrific. There are amusement parks there and everything. So
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: there are plenty of places you could drive to within
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: a couple of hours and have a wonderful time. In
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: the event that your jet to Europe, your flight to
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Europe is canceled because of fuel situations right now presenting themselves,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: the fingers crossed that President Trump, he's hoping maybe in
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: the next few days we will have some kind of
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: resolution in Iran. But one thing that is good about
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: this president is he is not just going to settle
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: for something. He wants the right deal, or else there
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: will be no deal. He's made that amply clear. Seven
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: ten w R The Voice of New York. If you
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: want to give us a call, the numbers eight hundred
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: and three to two, one zero, seven to ten. Well,
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: we have the funniest butt kisser of a politician whoever existed,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: it seems, in the state of New York. Kathy hokel
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: O katihokol I was reluctant say I know, I'm sorry.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't making fun of those awful caps that she has,
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: but I can't help myself because I'm a very bad
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: Catholic when it comes to that. Sorry, Kathy, it's like
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: she had a twofer two for one. I get both
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: front teeth of the same fifty dollars from the dentist
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: on the corner in Buffalo. The good governors decided that
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: she would codify that which already unofficially exists throughout the
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: state and has for years, and that is that New
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: York is now officially and publicly a sanctuary state. Before
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: they said, oh, we're not a sanctuary state, even though
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: we followed all the sanctuary policies and that law enforcement
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: couldn't reach out to federal law enforcement because of people
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: who are here illegally. Now I ask you, o, fellow
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: taxpayer New Yorker, and yes, I am a fellow taxpayer
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: New Yorker, even though I live in New Jersey. Because
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: when you work in New York City, you have to
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: pay city taxes and state taxes even if you live here.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: What benefit to you and the State of New York
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: is there by officially mandating that New York be a
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: sanctuary state. When you elect somebody governor, they're supposed to
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: be the person you elect to benefit you and your family.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: All Right, You work hard, you pay taxes, and then
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: they take your money, your tax money, and they give
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: it to people who shouldn't even be here legally. They're
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: not here legally. That is so why why would you
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: keep voting for these people? What is the point? And
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: again to what benefit? How does it benefit the state
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: that you would elect somebody who would create a sanctuary
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: state status in New York. I want you to think
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: about what it means to have millions of illegal migrants
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: in the state of New York and by the way.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: I am not against people who come from another country.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: That is perfect. That is fine. There is a legal
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: process to do it. But ken the migration system is broken.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: No, it is not.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: It's only broken for those of you who want people
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: to come in illegally and vote Democrat, then it's broken
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: because you want twenty thirty million more like you got
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: under the Biden administration. For those of us who want
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: it done fairly, where you come in in limited numbers
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: so you can properly incorporate into society or be incorporated
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: in our society and become a successful and happy American.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: For those of us who want it the way, it
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: is legal, so we could do so to the tune
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: of one, two or three million a year, which is
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: what we allow. You know that we allow more people
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: to become citizens of the United States every year than
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: every other single country on the planet combined. So what
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: I hear, Oh, it's a broken immigration system. There is
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: nothing broken. We are extremely generous, more generous than anyone
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: and everyone else combined. So we allow millions in through
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: the legal process in this country every year, and you
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: just have to follow the process. Can we allow everybody
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: on the planet who wants to come in seven billion
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: people know as the people on the left left to say,
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: it's unsustainable, and it is unsustainable. We only have a
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: limited amount of space and our economy would collapse if
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: we let everyone wants to be here to come in.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: Makes me a laugh of other people protesting who hate
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: this country so much, and yet somehow millions of people
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: are breaking down the doors to come in every year.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: Why don't we swap? Why don't you go to Lithuania
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: or Italy or Botswana or wherever else these people are
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: coming in from, And why don't you go there swap
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: because you don't want to be here. Go ahead, go
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: over and see how you like you know whatever, Southern Googuziah, wherever.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Go see how you like it. And then come back
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: after a year and write a little report on what
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: it's like not to be able to earn a living
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: or be able to speak publicly or post something on
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: social media and getting arrested and having somebody knock down
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: your door because you're gay or bisexual or lives with
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: somebody married or whatever. You got to do that and
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: come back and let us know how you like it.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Seven to ten w R The Voice of New York
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: something that was brought up to me that I didn't
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: even realize. Think about this state of New Jersey as
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: nine million residents, nearly a million additional people are there illegally.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: So think about that number, like twelve percent of the
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: state right now is there illegally, which is just obscene,
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: an obscene number. Okay, here's what it does to the
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: environment when you have twelve percent of the people just
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: piled in who shouldn't be there, who were unaccounted for
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: in the beginning. So we did not build an infrastructure
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: for them, We didn't create the extra classroom spaces for them.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: So all the liberals in the nineties and the year
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: the early two thousands of late eighties, all we heard
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: from the school unions, et cetera, the teachers' unions, is
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: in order to have an effective classroom size, you need
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: you need no more than twelve to five fifteen students
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: per teacher. Then we can have an effective classroom size.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: But it's okay. Those same liberals don't mind when fifteen
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: other kids come in who were here illegally, that's okay.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Then they don't complain. So suddenly the classroom is back
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: up to thirty kids because fifteen unaccounted for illegal kids
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: have come in and by law, we have to educate them.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: And I'm fine with that. But all of a sudden,
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: you have thirty kids in a classroom. We're back to
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: where we were before. So now we don't have the
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: ability to have the attention focused on twelve to fifteen kids.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Not only do we now have thirty kids jammed in
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: a classroom, but now they're multi lingual, so the teacher
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: can't focus on just teaching things in English. Now we
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: have to have teachers who speak different languages, who cost
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: these schools, the school system way more money because they
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: have to speak other languages to kids who come here.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: This is how it impacts society. What do we end
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: up doing when we have millions of extra people jamming
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: the streets of New York. Oh, let's just charge congestion
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: pricing to everybody else. So now I have to pay
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: extra money because you lawmakers have turned a blind eye
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: and allowed all these people who are here illegally to
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: continue being here. Crime is being committed. Oh, by the way,
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: that's one of my other favorites. My Democrat lawmaker friends say, ken,
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: it is a fact. It is a fact that illegal
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: migrants as you like to call them, and nobody is illegal.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: Ken.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: Illegal migrants cause fewer crimes than citizens.
• 47:27
  Speaker 8: Bull.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: And here's why it's bull. Do you know, in the
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: city of New York, it is against the law for
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: law enforcement to inquire as to somebody's citizenship status. So
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: if you can't even ask if they're here illegally, and
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: somebody commits a crime, how do you know if they're
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: here illegally or not? You don't, right, so police arrest
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: you for committing a crime. You are forbidden by law
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: from asking what is your citizenship status? So when you
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: file a report on that individual who committed the crime,
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: there's no way of knowing if they're a citizen or not.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: So these statistics are skewed because they love to say,
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: then all these people committed crimes, they're all Americans because
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: we don't know that they're illegal. We don't know that
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: they're illegal because the people on the left on purpose
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: do not ask, and do not permit us to ask
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: if they're here illegally or not, because then their cover
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: would be blown. That's the game being played by the
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: left right now, and this has been played for years.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: They play with these statistics. Just like Alvin Bragg comes
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: into office and says he refuses to prosecute these two
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: hundred crimes that are on the books, that are passed
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: by lawmakers as illegal. Well, he's not going to prosecute
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: it because he feels that people in the black and
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: brown community were unfairly targeted in those laws. But what
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: ends up happening is the next year he says crime
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: is down. No, crime isn't down. You just refuse to
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: prosecute these two hundred crimes.
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: Ergo.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: Crime looks down on paper, but crime is up in
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: many cases, especially serious crime, crime involving injuring other people,
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: are killing other people. That's actually gone up, but it
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: gets reported differently. And so we end up having these
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: liberal politicians saying, look at us, you're like Democrats, and look,
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: crime is down. It's a nice game, guys, but we're
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: on to you now, all right, we're on to you.
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: So you may have fooled some people at this point,
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: but you're not fooling all people. Come out with the
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: real statistics. Talk to the rank and file police officers
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: on the street. You know that crime is knocked down
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: in the city of New York, but It's just funny
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: that in the sanctuary cities and states it always appears
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: on paper crime is down. Then do a little analyzing,
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: you'll find out that the very people who say the
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: crime is down are the people who are covering for
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: the people here illegally. You cannot increase the population by
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: twelve percent overnight like they have in the state of
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: New Jersey and have everything go smoothly. Buildings that were
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: meant to have two people per apartments suddenly having twelve
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: people per apartment, and the plumbing and the electrical and
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: everything else. The water supply was not meant to handle
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: that huge influx of population. So it's not just about
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: not being nice to the immigrants. Can you that nice
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: the immigrants? Everything collapses if you don't do it right,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: If you don't allow people in the right and legal way,
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: everything will collapse. So you can have legal migration in
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: this country, but you gotta do it the right way.

  Speaker 2: Good to be with you at seven ten wo r.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Let's go straight to the busy phones. I got two

  Speaker 2: mics at the very top, one from Nutley, one Fromerto Rico.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: So I'll tell you what. Just Mike and Nutley hang
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: on there. Let's go to Puerto Rico.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: First. Good morning to you, Mike and Puerto Rico.
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: Good morning, another beautiful day here. Of course, I.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Love it, love it. How long ago are you from
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: Puerto Rico or did you move there?
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: I moved here about thirty years ago. I've been coming
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: down here since nineteen seventy when I used to work
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: for the government.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: Ah nice, well, I'm jealous I hope you enjoy your day.
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: I believe me. It's spectactuar. But I just wanted to
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: make a statement. People don't understand us. They really have
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: no concept of what Puerto Rico is. We just passed
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: a law that says life begins at conception and the
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: person in the womb is a person and has we're
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: all the rights of person each. Democrats have no concept
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: to what we're like. You know, we closed the stores
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: on Easter Sunday and Good Friday. What do they think
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: we're gonna do? Vote for these wackos up north. I
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: personally don't want to be a stake. I love it
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: the way it is. But they don't understand us at all.
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: I swear they don't.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: They just assume they want you. They want the votes.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: They want the two Senate seats, they want the congressional
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: seat that votes. Now there, I guess there is a
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: There is a non voting representative that comes from Puerto Rico.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Correct for for the the House.
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: That's so, that's correct. We have a whichqught a commissioner. However,
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: what makes them think we're going to vote with Democrat?
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: What makes them they assume?
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: You know what it is because many of the Puerto
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Rican folks and by the way, a married to somebody
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: who's haf Puerto Rican, many of the Puerto Rican folks
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: who come to the mainland of the United States. And yes,
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: for those who don't realize, Puerto Rico is part of
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: the United States. But it is not a state.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: It's a territory.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: But am I right? Is it a territory technically, Well.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: It's a territory. It's a territory. But we have special status.
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you come from the Virgin Island, you
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: need a passport to come in a United States the
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: Puerto Ricano we get on, we get off in any
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: other state. Interesting, now, it's it's not where we don't
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: have the vote in the national elections. That It's true.
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: And personally I don't mix it. I don't miss it
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: at all. We vote locally. I vote locally. I don't
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: know whether my party is considered a Republican and a Democrat,
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: have no idea. It's more issue arranted were.
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: You but you were born on the mainland though, right,
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: So when you moved to Puerto Rico from the mainland,
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: do you lose the ability to vote for the presidential election?
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: I guess because you're no longer a citizen or not,
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: you're that you're not a citizen, but you're not a
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: resident of the mainland. Once you go to Puerto Rico,
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: you lose that.
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: About one I was on. Yeah, I voted when I
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: was on the mainland. I'm a disabled that from Vietnam
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: a long long time ago. So the the I don't
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: miss voting in the States. It's too crazy now anyway.
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, I would probably vote for President Trump. He
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: seems like an American, good guy, stand up guy. But
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: these these Democrats that assume, oh, well, everybody in Puerto
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: Rico has got browns fan the Democrats. It's not true.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: This is true.
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: I don't even know if it would be Democrat senators
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: from Puerto Rico. It's hard to tell. I mean, most
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: of my friends would probably vote Republican, be honest, if
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: they were voting in a federal.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Election, and even if they would have voted Democrat at
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: one point in times, they are a change and a
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: lot of people have their eyes wide open.
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: And they're taking a look at everything.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: Mike, in Puerto Rico, enjoy your the sunshine, but we
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: remember our vets and thank you for serving our country. Sir,
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: I appreciate you for being on with us. Let's go
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: to Mike in Nutley, New Jersey. I used to live
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: right next door in Belleville, Mike. How are you, sir, Mike, Yeah,
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: let's go. Let's hit it again. Here we go, Mike
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: and Nutley. I'm sorry, I didn't press the button properly.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: How are you, sir?
• 54:35
  Speaker 10: Hi Ken, I'm doing okay. This is my I have
• 54:37
  Speaker 10: a message to President Trump and the d O Jane.
• 54:40
  Speaker 10: This is my message. Since you're going after Hassan Piker
• 54:43
  Speaker 10: for being a trader and popping up Cuba, you should
• 54:48
  Speaker 10: also go after these women of the view because on
• 54:51
  Speaker 10: our own soil have you have on Sunny Halston publicly
• 54:56
  Speaker 10: saying many times on the show, publicly saying that the
• 55:00
  Speaker 10: ward that we're having with Iran on the President Trump
• 55:03
  Speaker 10: is unconstitutional. What she's actually doing is encouraging the soldiers
• 55:09
  Speaker 10: in the Iranian regime to hurt our military forces.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna pausure one second right there, only because
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: we're tired on time.
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: Mike.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: They're actually doing something right now about it, and that
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: is they have the FCC investigating the broadcast licenses of
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: all the ABC owned TV stations, and it's based primarily
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: on what the women of the View have said. And
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: the reason why they did that is because on the
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: View they ABC at one point. And remember I used
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: to work for the company. I don't work for them anymore,
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: but they used to have the View under their entertainment division.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: Then they had it under their news division, and I believe,
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: and I don't know for sure, but I believe it
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: is back under their entertainment division. If it's under the
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: entertainment division, then it must allow equal time when they're
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: talking candidates, and apparently they had on one candidate not another,
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: and so that's something.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: That will be brought up.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: However, the way the FCC works, the FCC can't proactively
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: come after a TV station. It has to be as
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: the result of complaints. So if people don't complain in
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: mass the FCC doesn't just can't really take it upon itself.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: All they can do is what they've done now, and
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: that's asked for an early review of the broadcast licenses,
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: and that's something that they're doing right now. Vincent and Brooklyn,
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: we got about a minute left, and I can't let
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: a day go by without having you on my friend.
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: How are you good?
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: I'm okay, Ken, Good morning, Ken. You were talking about
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: classroom side. Back in the fifties, I attended parochial school
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: and in the classrooms we had fifty kids in the classroom.
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: The boys were on one side of the room, the
• 56:45
  Speaker 5: girls were on the other side of the room, and
• 56:47
  Speaker 5: the nun or the brothers had no problem with discipline
• 56:53
  Speaker 5: in the classroom. Nobody spoke out, nobody wild anything like that.
• 56:58
  Speaker 5: So these New York City schools teachers are full of bologne.
• 57:02
  Speaker 5: It's just a union money money grab Ken. A number
• 57:06
  Speaker 5: of years ago, an investigative journalists in Italy axed an
• 57:10
  Speaker 5: Albanian criminal. They dispixelated out the guy's face. They said,
• 57:16
  Speaker 5: why do you come all the way from Albania and
• 57:20
  Speaker 5: or from Romania to commit crimes in Italy? And the
• 57:24
  Speaker 5: guy said, if I rob a chicken in Romania, I
• 57:28
  Speaker 5: get five years in the joint he says, if I
• 57:31
  Speaker 5: rob a chicken in Italy, he says, the judge will
• 57:35
  Speaker 5: probably ask me, oh, you forgot to take the side
• 57:38
  Speaker 5: edition n Darren lies the difference.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: We are empathetic to an extreme, and that is part
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: of the problem. Vincent, I know that you will spend
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: this day remembering those who fought in divers I got
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: a cut only because it's the news time.
• 57:53
  Speaker 5: I certainly will, But.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: My friend, God bless you, and I always appreciate your call, Vincent.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Vincent from Brooklyn, we appreciate you.
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: Very.

  Speaker 2: Good Memorial Day to you, and I can say good
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: Memorial Day because you will spend a good time thanking people,
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: whether in your heart, those who passed on, or even
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: a living vet. Yes, it is good to always thank
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: a living vet for all those people who fought and
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: of course sadly those who died for us. So remember
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: on this Memorial Day, take a moment kind of hoist
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: the toast to those who died for us, or say
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: a prayer, moment of silence, just some recognition, put out
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: the flag to say thank you for the ultimate sacrifice
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: that you made for us. And then yes, it's okay
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: to enjoy a hot dog. And then you can say
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: happy Memorial Day. In that case, it's okay to be
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: happy once you first said thank you. I think that's
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: very important. Seven to ten w R The Voice of
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: New York. It's Ken Rosotto in from Mark On Memorial Day, Monday, Mark,
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: We'll be back tomorrow. But you know, in the meantime,
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: you spend good money on a fancy schmancy computer router
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: and it reaches every inch of your home. Now you
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: find out that Russians could be hacking into it, reading
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: every keystroke to tap and seeing every website you serve too. Well,
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: it sounds crazy, but it's not. Joining us now with
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: this topic. And Morris Brand and digital strategist Fisher, who
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: could be found on x and threads with user name
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: at Fisher and through his website Fisher dot media.
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: Good morning Fisher, Good morning to you, sir.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: Good to have you want. So what is this about
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: home routers potentially being hacked by Russia.
• 59:23
  Speaker 11: Yeah, they discovered the Russian hackers compromised thousands of mainly
• 59:27
  Speaker 11: small office and home office routers across twenty three states
• 59:31
  Speaker 11: since at least twenty twenty four. The FBI and the
• 59:34
  Speaker 11: NSA issued a warning after they remotely resetted affected devices.
• 59:41
  Speaker 11: They got the permission by a court order, but they
• 59:43
  Speaker 11: reset the administration passwords on these routers, and they also
• 59:48
  Speaker 11: obviously urged owners to take immediate action to prevent ongoing,
• 59:52
  Speaker 11: you know, targeting of primarily military, government and critical infrastructure.
• 59:56
  Speaker 11: So if you had an in with that, if you
• 59:58
  Speaker 11: worked for the government or probably or you were a subsidiary,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 11: you know, things like that, you were probably a target.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 11: The attack hit mainly older routers from TP link. Many
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 11: are past what they call end of life, so they
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 11: no longer receive security updates. But you know, there are
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 11: important things that you could do. If you have a
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 11: router at home, which is mainly all of us, and
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 11: you know, step one, update your router firmware regularly. Automatic
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 11: updates are pretty standard. If you have Nest, Wi Fi
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 11: or Eero, it's pretty standard. It'll it'll pop up an
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 11: update saying it's time to update, and then they'll eventually
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 11: just push it for you. If you have, you know,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 11: a more advanced router like a neckgear a tp link
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 11: in this case, check the router's firmware, just log in,
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 11: reboot your router weekly. You and I talked about this,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 11: and you do it more often because you do a
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 11: lot of TV obviously from the house, and so it's
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 11: always good to reboot your router at least monthly or
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 11: at some regular interval. It helps clear potential malware and
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 11: it helps maintain security. Also change the default username of passwords.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 11: We've talked about this a lot, and this isn't just
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 11: the Wi Fi password. I'm talking about the back end
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 11: of your Wi Fi. Typically it's the username's admin and
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 11: the passwords one, two, three, four five, So change that.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 11: And if you have remote management, and again this is
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 11: if you're kind of like a you know, tech pro,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 11: a tech know it all. Remote management allows you to
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 11: do things remotely, right, so outside of your house turn
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 11: it off and then that way that's not a you know,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 11: an endpoint for hackers. And then if you can use
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 11: a VPN if you work from home to a company,
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 11: typically your work laptop has a VPN, but you can
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 11: get it for your house and for your your router.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 11: It doesn't just have to be for for work or
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 11: for travel, So look into that as well. And keep
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 11: in mind, you know, your router is a high value
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 11: target because all your network traffic passes through it, whether
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 11: it's the lights turning on and off in your house automatically,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 11: or your web traffic or your TV. So you know
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 11: you want to secure that. It's kind of like locking
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 11: your doors.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I understand that Minnesota for real now, because you
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: and I kid around a lot on the show we
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: do in New Jersey, but for real, Minnesota is now
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: making it basically illegal to use a VPN. Have you
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: heard about this. I'm catching you off guard here. So yeah,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: they just passed legislation and it's it's basically to prevent
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: gambling using like call she those Okay, So what people
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: were doing to get around that so they could use
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: call she as they were using a VPN, so you
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: couldn't locate where they were, and they could say that
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: they were in a different state. So now the legislation
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: has been supplemented with something that said you can't use
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: software that says you're in a place that you're not. Well,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: that's what VPNs do. They kind of disguise where you are.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: Isn't that what they do?
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 11: Yeah, they well yeah, they lock you in from someplace else, yeah,
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 11: or completely officscate your is it the word looking for?
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 11: Yes, your location? So no matter, it's not even saying
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 11: you're from someplace else. I would say that, And I
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 11: don't know how far along that is. I can't say
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 11: that that's going to pass because these services and I
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 11: may or may not know from personal living in Georgia
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 11: and having to go to North Carolina or Tennessee in
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 11: order to do any type of sports betting that you
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 11: can't VPN.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: I can tell you you can't play the lottery that way.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 11: I've been in another state and wanted to play Mega
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 11: Millions and I can only do it from Georgia on
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 11: the app, and so I would say that that's not
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 11: going to get very far.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that's yeah.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because and you're right, I use I use one
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: of the apps when I'm in New Jersey to buy lottery,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: and when I travel to our place in Florida where
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: they don't have that online lottery purchasing, you still have
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: to go to a store in Florida. I've tried to
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: use a VPN from there and it does not permit
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: you to use it. But apparently there are some apps
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: that claim to be able to disguise where you're from and.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: Whatnot, and I don't know whatever.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not one of those nefarious individuals, but we listen
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: the less go ahead.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 11: Yeah, nonetheless, I still think you know, in our listening area,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 11: VPNs are okay, right, So if you can lock you
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 11: router down in the ways mentioned and use a VPN
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 11: if you can, and then it's just extra secure for.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: I only bring it up because with the iHeartRadio app,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: we just had a call from Puerto Rico, So we're
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: getting calls all over the world for us from and
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: that's why we want to let folks know that I
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: get a caller every day on the show we do
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: in Jersey from Minnesota. So that's kind of interesting. All right,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: we have about a minute and a half left. Reddit
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: investors got a rude surprise after Meta made a direct
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: challenge to the popular social platform. Talk about how that
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: impacted shares of Reddit dropping because of their app called Forum.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 11: Yeah, so Reddit shares dropped almost six percent on Friday
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 11: because Facebook. Meta rolled out a new app called Forum
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 11: and it's for their Facebook groups now Reddit and I'll
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 11: try to be quick. Reddit is a great place to
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 11: go to if you have a question and you can
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 11: ask regular people. It's whether you know, whether should I
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 11: change the transmission fluid on my two thousand ford, you know,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 11: explorer whatever, and they're you know, they're just experts.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 8: There are people.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: It's also a cesspool.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 11: Right, So so Facebook basically rolled out a new one
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 11: that's based on the back of Facebook groups. It's attached
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 11: to your Facebook account, so it's clean. It probably you know,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 11: is less cesspooly and you know, well, time will tell,
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 11: but it is attached to you compared to Reddit. You
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 11: can create a fake email, or you could just create
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 11: an email that's not, you know, tied to yours. Apple
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 11: and Google both allow you to hide your email and
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 11: you can create a persona and then ask questions or whatever.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 11: Facebook won't allow that because it's going to tie it
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 11: to your account. So whether or not this catches on
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 11: as well as Reddit, don't know, but at least it's
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 11: an alternative if you're not into the reddit and the
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 11: subreddits and the cesspool stuff. They can because it could
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 11: be pretty brutal.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of hate on Reddit. There's a lot
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: of hate. People just they attack to attack. It's like
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: you're going to say, hey, it's a nice day. No
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: it isn't, You're an idiot.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: Die what I just said it's.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: A nice day. By post unbelievable. Really, it's crazy. And
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: by the way, I'm the one who was doing the attacking.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: No I'm kidding.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 8: It is.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 11: But you could get the app if you want to
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 11: try it. It's on iOS right now. That's where they're
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 11: testing it. It's called Forum by Facebook and you can
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 11: download the app.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: Because what Meta needs is yet another addition to its
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: social media platforms.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 11: Tied to your name and your persona, so they can
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 11: track you with everything that you absolutely.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: Mark is at home right now saying ha ha, I
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: know everything about you. Yes, I just go buy a
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: first dame basis with mister Zuckerberg. All right, Brandon digital

  Speaker 2: top of the our news, but we have time for
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: one more phone call. Let's go to Bob and Florida.

  Speaker 2: Good morning, do you Bob.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Ken.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 4: I just wanted to thank you Ken from mentioning the
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 4: fact that we acknowledge the loss of all our military
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: people in all wars, but you added the factor of
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 4: the people also lost during training. And if you look
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: at the numbers, they're astounding. Between World War Two, career,
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: Vietnam and now we lost four people last year and
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 4: training for the one sixty Especial Aviation operations and my
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: friend was their commander for years, and we need to
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: acknowledge that the training is very dangerous as all the missions.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: Sure, look at it people if I Madam to step
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: on your bob only because we're a little short, but
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: look at him an people trained to be seals. There
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: there have been people who drowned training because that's grueling training,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: right it is.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 5: It is well.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: We did night operations with helicopters that to this day
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 4: when I think about some of them with the low
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: life visibility and no night vision goggles at the time,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 4: I get a chill from it because it was very,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 4: very dangerous and difficult stuff to do.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: So it happened with the with the Venezuela and operation
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 4: there too. The people love that was wounded.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: Bye, I got it, Bob.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: I got to cut you only because we're up at
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: heartbreak against the news on the top. But my friend,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: thank you to all the people who served their country,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: and specifically those who died, whether in training, during service,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: or afterwards, people who got cancer, who came back from
