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

  Speaker 2: partly cloudy's Sunday a little milder tempts in the upper fifties.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: The stock market took a big hit yesterday and while
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: the economy is looking strong in some sectors, it may
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: not be translating to the average hard working folks. Now.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Consumer sentiment for November is down, and we will speak
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: with financial strategist Steve Cotton about it. It is ten
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: twenty one, seven ten wor we'll be right back, So.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Now more of the Marximone Show on seven to ten
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: wor filling in.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: For Mark here again is Ken Rosatto.
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: Hey, good to be with you.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Let's go straight to the phones. Peter in the Harlem,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: good morning. You're on the marximone show.
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: Yes, good morning, it's a pleasure to listen to you.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: I have a coverment. New York is dead. The fact
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: is that the stores are all run by people that
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: are unfortunately from other countries. So when the developments come in,
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: taking kick them out right away. The East Village, it's
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: tige of town. Harlem is another. I mean, what's going
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: on and they want to blame it on crime, but
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: it's not crime, it's greed. Do you have any comments, sir?
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I don't think you're wrong at all. Sir.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Look I here, I've lived in or around New York
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: City my entire life, with maybe a three four year exception.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I was in Miami. I'm fifty eight. I went to
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: grammar school, high school, college here, so I know what
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: to talk about. I've seen it go through all the
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: different iterations and it's almost unrecognizable right now. The thing is,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: you need somebody who is a leader who will take
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: charge of the city and change things. We've seen it
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: go bad and then go good, and unfortunately, I think
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: we chose the wrong guy to change that. But I
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: appreciate the call, and I don't disagree with you. We
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: go to David and Queen's Good Morning, Hey Ken.
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: I've been listening to radio for over forty years, and
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: there was a caller up to forty years ago who
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: predicted everything that's going on, and he's largely been blocked now.
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: But I think it's high time.
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: To get some credit.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: To Jimney from Brooklyn, oh I remember listening to him.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I mean he was on Bob Grat years ago. I
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: think that was like one hundred years ago. He was, yeah, oh,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: there we go. He gets a shout out there, let's
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: go down to North Carolina. Kathy, good morning.
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: Hi.
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: Can we really appreciate when you fill in from Mark?
• 18:00
  Speaker 11: Thank you for telling guy.
• 18:04
  Speaker 10: I haven't heard anybody talking about this. I'm going to
• 18:06
  Speaker 10: bring it up. Jimmy Kimmel lost his best friend who
• 18:09
  Speaker 10: is his bandmate a couple of days ago, and he
• 18:12
  Speaker 10: was on a show with a beautiful tribute for him,
• 18:15
  Speaker 10: and it was very moving. But I just wanted to
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: throw in there, what would Jimmy, what would you feel
• 18:22
  Speaker 10: like if people went on the air and started mocking
• 18:25
  Speaker 10: your friend's death or mocking the wife of your friend,
• 18:30
  Speaker 10: or his children, or his mother and his father who
• 18:34
  Speaker 10: were there with you in the studio. Like, he just
• 18:37
  Speaker 10: needs to get a clue of how irresponsible that was
• 18:41
  Speaker 10: and how rude. And now that it's happened to him,
• 18:43
  Speaker 10: somebody close to him has died tragically, maybe he should,
• 18:48
  Speaker 10: you know, think a little bit about what he did
• 18:51
  Speaker 10: to Charlie Kirk's family.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: And yeah, that's a very good point. Go ahead. I'm sorry,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: let me finish your I'm sorry, Well.
• 18:59
  Speaker 10: No, I'm I just want to but I'm going to
• 19:02
  Speaker 10: take a high road and I'm going to show some
• 19:04
  Speaker 10: grace to Jimmy Kimmel, and I'm going to give him
• 19:07
  Speaker 10: my condolences and my thoughts and prayers, which he never wants,
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: of course, but I just hope. I know this isn't
• 19:15
  Speaker 10: going to get to him, But I just want everybody
• 19:17
  Speaker 10: to collectively think, if you're in those shoes, you know,
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: to be a little more careful. And it's pretty obvious
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: he should have never done that, Like he almost lost
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: his job over it, which would have been great.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't only Kimmel, a lot of people who've
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: done that. And again it comes down to a dichotomy
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: of the left versus the right. There's just a whole
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: different Yes, I'm going to paint with a very broad brush,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: but the left tends not to be into the religious stuff.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: The right does tend to be a little bit more
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: into religion. We're talking about gradations of color here in
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: terms of religion non religion. The left tends to be
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: less empathetic. The right tends to be more empathetic. The
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: you know, the left is all about a show and
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: about being able to say they feel good about somebody,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: but the right actually this is it. So yeah, there
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: is a difference there, and I think you're spot on
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: with that, Kathy. In fact, that harkens back to the
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: old you know saying that that we heard from. I'm
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: saying I'm forgetting names now, hello former FBI or the
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: current FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino. My gosh, it's what
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: happens when I'm at my coffee Dan Bongino again saying
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: that Republicans think Democrats are good people with bad ideas,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: and Democrats think Republicans are bad people. There the Jimmy
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Kimmel example is that right there, The idea that you
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: can make fun of Republicans dying because you don't consider
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: them good people, whereas we would never do the same
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: to them because we consider all people's lives precious. Star
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: in South Carolina, good morning, You're on seven to ten
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: w R.
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: Hey, Jan, how are you? We've spoken several times, you know,
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: be in an off for forty eight years. What ma'am
• 20:51
  Speaker 9: Donnie does not know could fill an encyclopedia. This man
• 20:55
  Speaker 9: is an idiot. To think that social workers can go
• 20:58
  Speaker 9: to a seat. We have lost I think four or
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: five officers in the last six months going to domestics
• 21:04
  Speaker 9: and they were ambushed and killed even before they got
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: to the front door. This guy is out of his
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: ever loving mind, and him, coupled with Alvin Bragg, is
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: going to be the seventh circle of Hell in New
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: York City. I cannot believe for the life of me,
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: can people put these two people in office?
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: And you know, Stuart, what's crazy. What's crazy is people say, well,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: new York will learn. No, they won't learn. And here's
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: why New York is such a turnover of humans. I
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: think three quarters of the people currently living in New
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: York did not live here ten years ago. So that's
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: a huge junk of people. So as a result, it's
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: not like people could say, oh, remember back when we
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: elected that person, because I think a lot of those
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: people aren't here, so they don't understand. You know the
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: old adage about those who failed to learn history are
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: doomed to repeat it. We're repeating it right now. Sure.
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: Yeah, real quick story. We had a mental patient and
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: I had a rapport with him, and any time they
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: dealt with him, if I was on duty, they would
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: call me officer Stewart. How are you you know? That
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: was nine times. The tenth time he tried to kill
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: me and kick the windows out in my patrol costs.
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: This is a ticking time bomb dealing with these people
• 22:11
  Speaker 9: and you do not They want an officer to go
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: with them, which defeats the entire purpose what they claim.
• 22:19
  Speaker 9: It's just insane.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: It's like when they tell an officer, don't aim at
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: the chest, aim at their foot. No, when you shoot,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: you shoot right. They don't understand. Then you'll miss. And
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: if you're trying to protect yourself, that's it. So what
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I hate to cut us off. We got to get
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: to the news, but I always appreciate your call, my friend,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Thank you very very much, and thank you for your
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: service as an officer. We appreciate that. Seven ten WR.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: The time is ten thirty three and right after the news,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: we'll speak with financial strategy Steve Cotton about how the
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: economy is looking now and what you can be doing
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: to safeguard your money.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: woor game from Mark Today.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: Here's Ken Rosatto.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: That really good to be with you on a Friday morning,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: and the stock market took quite a hit yesterday. It
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: was down about seven hundred points. And while there are
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: some sectors of the economy that appear to be doing
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: better everyday, items like groceries are not really coming down
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: like we thought they might at this point. I mean
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: it's still fairly early on, but with the tariffs and whatnot,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: things are still somewhat expensive. Eggs are down, yes, butters down,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: but everything else is pretty much up. So a lot
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: of people are stretching their dollars to make ends meet.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Steve Cotton is a financial strategist. He's here to talk
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: about how consumer sentiment appears to be dropping for the
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: month of November and what we can do to safeguard
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: our dollars. Good morning you, Steve, Thanks for coming on.
• 23:37
  Speaker 12: Good morning Ken, Thanks for having me.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: You bet So, what is looking up in our economy?
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: What is looking down?
• 23:45
  Speaker 12: Well? Energy prices have come down significantly. Matter of fact,
• 23:48
  Speaker 12: I heard this morning that there are twenty eight states
• 23:52
  Speaker 12: where the price of gas is already down to about
• 23:55
  Speaker 12: two dollars eighty cents a gallon. Wow, that's outstanding. When
• 23:59
  Speaker 12: you get energy prices down due to expanded production which
• 24:03
  Speaker 12: is what the Trump administration has been trying to do.
• 24:06
  Speaker 12: That has a ripple effect all throughout every product that
• 24:10
  Speaker 12: is made with petroleum products. We still have high housing costs,
• 24:16
  Speaker 12: but housing is largely a regional and a local phenomena.
• 24:21
  Speaker 12: It's due to shortage of supply, excess demand, persistently high
• 24:26
  Speaker 12: interest rates in terms of long term mortgage rates, which
• 24:29
  Speaker 12: the administration does not control. It's due to lots of factors,
• 24:34
  Speaker 12: population shifts, those kinds of things. So there are some
• 24:38
  Speaker 12: things the administration has had some success in addressing, and
• 24:43
  Speaker 12: some things that are just beyond their control.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: And Steve, I'm glad you brought up housing because here
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: in New York City where we are, we have something
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: called rent control. And for those unfamiliar, you know, there
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: is a board, a rent control board, and you know,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: while the state and the city tell the landlords you
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: must do this to your property us put in fire extinguishers,
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: you must have this, you must you must maintain the plumbing,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: you might and there are all these millions of dollars
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: a year of expenses that the landlords have to do.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: They're not allowed to just raise the rent to pay
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: for it. So I don't know where the money's supposed
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: to come from. But the rent Control Board determines how
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: much or if the rent can go up or down
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: every I guess it's every other year or whatever. I'm
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: not living in New York City anymore, so if I
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: got the exact time that this happens. But the point is,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: when you have rent control and people are locked in
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: at a good rate, they tend not to move. And
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: so when you have people not moving, you have no availability.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: And when there's no availability of real estate, what happens
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: at the price of real estate? I leave?
• 25:41
  Speaker 12: Well, that's that's true, right when when availability is limited,
• 25:46
  Speaker 12: prices are higher, right, and they remain higher. The problem
• 25:50
  Speaker 12: of housing in this country is one of supply. We
• 25:53
  Speaker 12: have underinvested in building new housing stock for twenty twenty years.
• 26:00
  Speaker 12: Communities that are trying to catch up. But there is
• 26:03
  Speaker 12: nothing wrong with requiring landlords and property owners to maintain
• 26:10
  Speaker 12: proper cleanliness, security, fire controls, you know, decent decent you know, water,
• 26:17
  Speaker 12: decent plumbing, and you know there there are a lot
• 26:20
  Speaker 12: of cases where we've seen slumlords. Oh yes, do those things.
• 26:25
  Speaker 12: And government should has an obligation to help support consumers
• 26:31
  Speaker 12: and provide minimal living standards. However, you've got to be
• 26:34
  Speaker 12: careful with rent controls because if you if you force
• 26:39
  Speaker 12: rents below a certain level where it's economic for those
• 26:43
  Speaker 12: landlords to make those improvements, you end up with a
• 26:47
  Speaker 12: housing shortage. And this is just economics. We've seen it
• 26:50
  Speaker 12: not only in New York, We've seen it in other
• 26:53
  Speaker 12: places around the country and around the world. So it's
• 26:56
  Speaker 12: a balancing act. Always. We have to hold land lords
• 27:00
  Speaker 12: and property owners to decent, minimal standards. There's nothing wrong
• 27:05
  Speaker 12: with that. But when you go overboard and you mandate expenses,
• 27:10
  Speaker 12: but you limit their ability to recoup those costs, then
• 27:13
  Speaker 12: you get a shortage.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: I'm with you just so that we remind everybody. This
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: is seven to ten wo R The Voice of New York,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: The Mark Simone Show on a Friday. Ken Rosotto in
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: for Mark and we are speaking with financial strategist Steve Cotton.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: We appreciate you coming in, Steven. You know, we have
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: something else here in New York City that's sort of
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: unique to us. We have these giant eleven hundred twelve
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: hundred foot tall, skinny skyscrapers that they've been building in
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: the last five to ten years. They're dotting the entire
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: landscape of Manhattan, parts of Queens and Brooklyn as well.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: And the problem is many of those units are empty
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: because people from foreign countries, millionaires, billionaires from other countries
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: buy those units as investments. They don't even go there,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: they don't even live there. The buildings are literally empty,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: while there are thousands upon thousands of people all over
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: the city who desperately could use a place to live.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: What could we possibly do to change that? The city
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: has tried to artificially affect change by saying, Okay, if
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: you're going to build that building, you have to do
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: twenty percent of the apartments for moderate income housing or
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: low income housing. But that can only help so much.
• 28:17
  Speaker 12: Well, that's a problem, and it's a little bit unique
• 28:20
  Speaker 12: to New York. There are other communities where that kind
• 28:23
  Speaker 12: of thing structurally has happened. You can't you can't fence
• 28:29
  Speaker 12: out foreign investment or make it unattractive to foreign investors. However,
• 28:33
  Speaker 12: we do have an obligation to our own citizens first,
• 28:37
  Speaker 12: and we've got to really address the housing crisis through
• 28:41
  Speaker 12: expanded supply. That means incentivizing builders to build, lowering interest rates,
• 28:48
  Speaker 12: lowering the cost of construction. It's a combination of things,
• 28:52
  Speaker 12: but we really need a more creative approach to it
• 28:55
  Speaker 12: than we've seen in the past.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Well, financial strategist Steve Cotton, that is great advice and
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: always good to have somebody who has the bigger view
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: of the overall picture. We appreciate you coming on the

• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to take a while before they get
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: to the bottom of it. Obviously, there's a lot going
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: on behind the scenes. Once they announced an investigation is underway,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: it could take months because they don't let you know
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: little dribs and drabs. It's all kept locked and quiet
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: until they find out enough information. And if you don't
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: hear anything, that means they didn't find anything. So but
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I'm sure people are looking. There are a lot of
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: people who have Mamdani on the mind right now and
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: they are looking for anything that might discredit him in
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: any way, shape or forms or Trust me, if there
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: is something, they will get to the bottom of it.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Apparently there were some foreign based donations that were made
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: to his election campaign. He either returned them or it
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: turns out they were US citizens. So far that we
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: know who were living in foreign places. So that's what
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: we know at this point. Shanna, I appreciate the thank
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: you so much for calling you. Bet all right seven
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: to ten w R The Voice of New York. We
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: got somebody else lining it up, right now, do we
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: have line two? Okay, all right, So here's a quick
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: story I wanted to share with everybody. We got a
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: cute story here. Have you ever heard you've heard of
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: a dog bites man? How about man shoots I'm sorry,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: dog shoots man? How about that story? This happened in Pennsylvania.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: A Pennsylvania man told the cops the dog shot me dead. Serious,
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: This really happened. Apparently a guy put his shotgun down
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: on the bed and it was loaded, and then he
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: sat down on the bed next to the shotgun. His
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: dog got all excited, jumped up on the bed for
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: hugs and kisses. When he jumped up on the bed,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: the shotgun went off. I'm laughing because the guy's okay.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: The shotgun apparently caught the guy in the back. The
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: sun was downstairs, heard the shotgun go off. Got dad
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: to the hospital. He'll be okay. But the cops this
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: is the funniest part. At the end, when the cops
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: talked to the press, they said, we're investigating the shooting,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: but we believe the dog shooting the man was accidental.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: I just thought that was funny. I'm sorry, wo R
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: the Voice of New York. Paul, you are on the air.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Good morning, How you doing.
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: I heard you talking about Mamdani and his idiot idea
• 32:10
  Speaker 7: about the social workers. I was a New York City
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: cop for five years. I switched over. I became a fireman.
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: But a couple of years ago he and Tiffany Caban,
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: a New York City council woman, Tiffany Cabban, issued a
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: document saying that if you're dealing with a psycho with
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: an DP, don't call the police. Instead, you can knock
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: a soda over and distract them. I swear to god.
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: They put this in print, they put this in writing.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: And that's why you know they've been quietly checking this out, Paul.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: In over the last seven eight months, they have been
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: quietly testing this, and it has proven itself to be
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: an utter failure. It doesn't work. So clearly, this is
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: not something they just they've just tested once. As you
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: pointed out, it's been tested before multiple times. Sounds great,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: but this is all about socialism.
• 33:00
  Speaker 13: Hey.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: It sounds great to have everything free, too, doesn't work
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: that way, Paul. I appreciate the call. We got to
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: take a break for news here, but definitely keep tuning
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: in and keep calling party. Cloudy today and tomorrow highs
• 33:10

  Speaker 2: New York City, Ken Rosatto, reporting for duty. You'll probably
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: best remember me from twenty plus years I spent anchoring

• 34:16
  Speaker 2: a Channel five before that, I did Channel fifty five.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: These days, I'm on a streaming channel called on New

  Speaker 2: Jersey ONNJ dot com. I do a show Monday through Friday.

  Speaker 2: free food website, thousands of recipes from around the world
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: straight to the business part of it. We got a
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: lot to talk about today to wrap up the busy newsweek.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: In our phone lines wide open eight hundred three to
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten, so you hear a lot
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: from police and a fe not only in New York
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: City but around the country talking about how hey, crime
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: is down. Crime is down here in Chicago. Even though
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: seven hundred people are arrested this week, it crime is down.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: You know what they failed to mention is when you
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: change the laws and you no longer have certain things
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: looked at as crime, when you decide as a district attorney,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: you will not prosecute these seventy percent of the laws.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: If people violate them, we will not prosecute them. So
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: you tell your police don't even bother arresting people for
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: those When you dumb down people who are arrested for felonies,
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: you dumb it down to a misdemeanor. Sure, crime appears
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: down when you say that murder in some cases is
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: an accident. You know when things like that happen. Statistically speaking,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: things look like they're up and up and everything is
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: great and crime is down. The reality is crime is
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: not dropped. Anybody who works for the police department here
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: in New York or anywhere around the country will tell
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: you crime is not down. These statistics are down. Can
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: that's anecdotal. Talk to the cops I talk to on
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: a regular basis. I take calls on on my show
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: every day. I talk to cops all the time. My
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: dad was a cop. I have a lot of cops
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: in the family. Believe me, crime is not down, and
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: don't let the Democrats fool you and tell you it is.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: And that's by the way true in Democrat and Republican cities,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: but more so in blue cities. Because you don't punish people,
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: you let there be a revolving door. They come in
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: and out of the system. Crime just keeps going up
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: and up. Well, Mayor Zoram wants to deploy social workers
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: instead of police, of course, to respond to nine to
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: one one calls. But apparently the plan's already been operating
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: on a very small level in New York City. They've
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: been testing it quietly and it's been failing miserably. Published
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: reports say early results of a program called be Heard
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: shows it ain't working. Mom Dommy wants to take one
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: point one billion dollars, shifting it to the Department of
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Community Safety for this send social workers plan. And apparently
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: an audit was done back in May by the city
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Controller and they determine this thing is a failure. But
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: yet we all got suckered into it, right, We all
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: voted for Mom Donnie thinking he's going to make things better.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: We don't need police. We already have members of the
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: NYPD leaving and just wait until he takes office and
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: the NYPD sees it they don't get protection by this
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: mayor that if it comes down to it, that he's
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: going to turn his back on the NYPD. We hope
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: it doesn't happen, but based on what he has said
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: of police in the past, it's likely going to happen.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: You know, he out now told us who he is
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: and we just laugh at his head.
• 37:32
  Speaker 14: He's not a socialist, he's not a communist. Come on,
• 37:36
  Speaker 14: you're overreacting. Can you conspiracy theorist? Sob No, No, he
• 37:40
  Speaker 14: said it. Why shouldn't we believe him. Apparently sixty percent
• 37:44
  Speaker 14: of the calls made under this plan, this be heard
• 37:48
  Speaker 14: as it is called sixty percent are deemed ineligible in
• 37:52
  Speaker 14: what they tested. More than thirty five percent of the
• 37:55
  Speaker 14: eligible calls from mental health professionals never got a response.
• 37:59
  Speaker 14: And for this, mom, Donnie wants to spend over a
• 38:01
  Speaker 14: billion dollars of your tax payer money. Sadly, I think people.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Are going to get hurt or worse, and you'll see
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: crime rising all over the city. Speaking of crime, we
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: had Mayor to be mom, Donnie say this.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Police have a critical role to play in creating public safety.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: And I speak to those officers on the beat. I
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: hear a frustration from them that we're asking them to
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: do more than just focus on serious crimes. We're asking
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: them to do the work of mental health professionals and
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: social workers, and that reliance on having them deal with
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: almost every failure of the social safety net is making
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: it impossible for them to tackle those crimes.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds great from a guy who's never held
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: a job in his life and who sits behind a
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: desk and pushes pencils around. Go out and just go
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: out for a day with the NYPD and see what
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: they have to deal with mentally unstable people who are stoned,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: people who are drunk. And then you expect them to
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: listen to reason and oh, let's sit down, let's have
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: a nice conversation. Meanwhile, they have weapons. They'll pick up
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: a broken bottle, they'll throw a stone, and we're supposed
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: to just think that'll be fine. You know, someone's going
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: to get hurt. Mayor to be Mamdani, unfortunately, and too
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: many people were suckers and bought his whole line in
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: the meantime, all the promises, all the goodies that Mamdani promised,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: all these wonderful goodies, the free buses, the free childcare,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: the free supermarkets. He was suggesting raising taxes on the
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: richest of New Yorkers, those who make a million dollars
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: or more, which in New York sounds like a lot.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: If you lived in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, that'd be a lot.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: You live in New York. A million makes you middle class.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: And this is what he said about it.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: You know, I've said time and again that I believe
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: these are the most straightforward ways that we can actually
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: fund universal childcare, making buses fast and free. And I've
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: said that the two clear ways to do so raising
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: personal income taxes on the top one percent by two
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: percent and raising the corporate text to match that of
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: New jerseys corporate tax of eleven point five percent. Now,
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: if there are other ways to raise this money to
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: fund this agenda, the most important things that we fund
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: the agenda.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, part of the problem there's zuron is if you're
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: a multi millionaire or billionaire like your family is. By
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: the way, does your family live, Yeah, they live here
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: in New York. They also live in Uganda. I bet
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: you they pay their taxes in Uganda and not in
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: New York. I don't know. I could be totally wrong.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: I might be totally wrong. I don't know. I'm conjuring
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: that up. I'm just saying I would bet somebody should
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: check into that. Where do you pay there? Where does
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: the family pay the taxes here in New York or
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: in Uganda? The problem is in the real world today,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: if you're a multimillionaire or billionaire, you don't have to
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: call New York home anymore. You could call, you know,
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: walk Ashaw your home, pay the taxes there which you're
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: little to none, and still do business remotely. You don't
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: have to physically be located here anymore. You can fly
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: back and forth, not live here and make a good
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: living and visit New York for the best of it
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: and not be here to pay the taxes. Governor Tathy
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Hochel said of the buses, I cannot.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: Set forth a plan right now that takes money out
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: of a system that relies on the fares of the
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: buses and the subways.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Translation, we are billions and billions and billions in debt
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: with the and you want us to give away seven
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: hundred million to a billion dollars more in freebes ain't
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: gonna happen. In terms of funding, Mom dummy shot back, the.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Most important thing is not how we fund it, but
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: that we fund it. I think these are the most
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: direct ways to do so. But any funding stream that
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: would fund these programs, that is one that we would welcome.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: So Zoron is saying, here's a stone, let me try
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: to get blood from it, because it's never been tried before.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Zoron right, right seven ten wo R the Voice of
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: New York one eight hundred three to two one zero
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: seven ten one eight hundred three to two one zero
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: seven ten. It's Ken Razotto win from Mark on a Friday.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: You know, back about six years ago, fewer than fourteen
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: million Americans were on food stamps. We call them snap now,
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: so no one feels bad. Back in the day, you
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: stood in line, you were handed actual stamps in a book,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: and you got to use those stamps in certain food
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: stores and they could only be used for certain kinds
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: of food. Well, there's more and more. Liberal hands got
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: involved in the process. The program was made as easy
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: as possible for people so they wouldn't feel embarrassed, and
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: that's okay. Look, there are certain people who desperately and
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: genuinely need assistance. And I think if you're like me,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: you have a heart. You don't want to see anybody
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: ever be at need or want for food. And I
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: would always offer somebody food. Anytime I've had anybody beg
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: me for money, I always say, listen, I'm not going
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: to give you money, but I'll give you food. All
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: too often they say I don't watch your food, I
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: want your money. I've had that told to me right
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: outside Channel seven studios a number of times. But the
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: few times people did take me up and I bought
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: them food. So anyway, stamps got replaced eventually by a
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: debit card, and instead of standing in line, the government
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: just transfers the money directly into the debit card account.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Of course, during the government's shutdown, that all got paused.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: For the most part, people got to choose whatever they
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: want in the food store. As of late well, since
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden took over as president, the number of SNAP
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: recipients went from fourteen million to over forty two million nationwide.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Now it wasn't just because the need was higher. A
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: good chunk of That spike came during the pandemic when
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: the Democrat controlled government urged people to get in on
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: the program. In fact, under Biden, SNAP benefits were drastically increased,
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: eligibility was drastically expanded, so of course people took advantage
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: of it. Biden used executive and legislative actions to do that,
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: and unlike President Trump, there were no work requirements, so
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: all you got to do is say I want SNAP
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: and you got it. That was it. The sad thing
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: is there are people who genuinely need food assistance and
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: this is now costing US hundreds of billions of dollars,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: and sadly, millions more people gloned onto the system at
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: the time, which caused more financial burden to taxpayers. Literally
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: one in eight Americans now receive SNAP benefits. That money
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: gets again direct deposited into a debit card from the
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: US government, and now you get people used to it
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: over not just a month or two, or even a
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: year or two, but many years, so it becomes part
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: of what they rely upon. So where does the US
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: money get that money from? They don't just print it.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: It comes from you and me. You and I work,
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: and the money we earned gets taxed, and from the taxes,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: those taxes go to pay programs like that. Again, I'm
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: not talking about the mother who is alone, the spouse
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: left and left them alone with children. I'm not talking
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: about that. Those people need this, That's fine, okay. I
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: believe that's what the program is for, to help them.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: But I'm talking about if you are twenty one years old,
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: you are able bodied, and you choose not to work,
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: or you choose to work a job part time, and
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: you snap to pay for your food. If you're eighteen
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: to sixty four and can work, you should. And under
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: the current rules, Trump is simply saying, if you are
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: able bodied, an adult, you don't have dependents, and you
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: are between the ages of eighteen and sixty four, you
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: must work, volunteer or participate in training for about twenty
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: hours a week. That's it, in order to continue getting
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: your benefits. And what is the response. The response a
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: lot of people offering a lot of hate for it,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: saying why why seven ten wr the Voice of New
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: York Ken Risotto win for Mark. It is Friday and
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: speaking of SNAP. That program is run under the Department
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: of Agriculture, and the person in charge of that department
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: is a person named Secretary brook Rollins. Well, after brook
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Rollins got into office in the beginning of the year,
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: she did a little research and Secretary Rollins, surprise surprise,
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: found there is an enormous amount of fraud in the
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: SNAP program. With just a little research, she found five
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: thousand dead people still receiving SNAP in some cases for years.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: Who's spending that money? Aha? She also found at least
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: half a million people half a million people receiving SNAP
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: benefits twice under the same name, so they collected They
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: had two different debit cards collecting money every month. She said,
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: over eighty percent of able bodied Americans on these benefits
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: can work, but choose not to, and that allows taxpayers
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: to foot the bill. Right Why should they work if
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: they could sit back and collect the money. It's human nature.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: I almost don't blame them. We're the stupid people allowing
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: it to happen. Well, apparently there's going to be some
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: big announcements next week with a plan to fix all this.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have a lot of angry people, but it's
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: got to be done. The party is over. Just remember,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: when more people get back to work, more tax dollars
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: are generated to help pay down the debt. And how
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: would you like to have two thousand bucks in your
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: pocket for doing absolutely nothing? Hmm. Sounds like a good segue,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: doesn't it. President Trump says he plans on sending every
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: American a two thousand dollars dividend check from all the
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: extra revenues we got from tariffs. White House Press Secretary
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Caroline Levitt announced that on Wednesday. She said that a
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: team of economic advisors is looking into the logistics right
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: now how to do it to give him a tax credit,
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: that you send him a check. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: initially said the payout may just be like a tax
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: savings under Trump's one Big Beautiful Bill legislat, but the
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: President said, no, come on, Scott, send him money, Send
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: him money, loosen up the purse strings. The President clarified
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: that to suggest that checks might be in the mail
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: before you know it. And couldn't you use two thousand
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: bucks around the holidays, And if you have ten members
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: of your family, that's twenty grand coming into your household.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Everybody would get one, I guess, unless I'm not sure
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: if it's just specifically taxpayers or if it's every member
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: of the household. All the details to come, but that
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: would give a nice quick spike to the economy. And
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: one last story here seven to ten w O war.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: You know that swarmy smug SOB meaning son of a
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: bumpkin Congressman Eric Swollwell of California, the guy who was
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: allegedly having relations with Fang Fang, the Chinese spy or
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: reports now say that he's been hit with a federal
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: criminal referral. Yep, he and Letitia I have something in common.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: The allegation is that he has alleged mortgage and tax
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: fraud related to his purchase of a one point two
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: million dollar home in Washington that he claim aimed as
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: his primary residence. Again, this is just an allegation at
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: this point. The problem is it can't be his primary
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: residence if he is a congressman from California, because California
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: must be his primary residence to get elected to go
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: serve in Washington, d C. So what is it with
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: the Democrats lying on mortgage forms to get a discount
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: on their mortgages, their taxes and insurance, lying about a
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: home being primary residence when it's not. That is a
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: federal offense. You're lying at federal documents. But once again,
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: if this is true, Swollwell is saying this is nothing
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: more than political retribution, just like what happened to Letitia James.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: The problem is people like he and Leticia never come
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: forth and deny they lied on the forms that you
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: say it's political retribution. If you committed a crime, whether
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: there's political retribution or not, you are the one responsible
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: because you, in this case, allegedly committed the crime. Seven

  Speaker 2: going to get. Coming up in just a little bit,
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: we're gonna have brand and digital strategist Fisher about a
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: new easy way to get through the airport using your
• 49:10

• 49:28
  Speaker 5: For Mark Today, Here's Ken Rosato.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: And good to be with you. On a Friday, straight
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: to our busy phones, we go to our friend Vincent
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: in Brooklyn.
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Vincent, Ken, can you hear me?
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: I sure? Ken?
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: Okay? Ken, I heard the real estate expert that you
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: just had on your show.
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: Ken.
• 49:45
  Speaker 8: Me and my family have been in the real estate
• 49:48
  Speaker 8: business for ninety five years in New York City. There
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: was at one time there wasn't a neighborhood where my
• 49:54
  Speaker 8: grandfather owned or owned in the past house. He bought
• 49:59
  Speaker 8: his first department and building two weeks before the Great Depression.
• 50:04
  Speaker 8: One of the biggest drivers of the high rents in
• 50:07
  Speaker 8: New York City is you can't have twenty million immigrants
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: come into this country, and a lot of them are
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: going to the big blue cities like New York, Chicago,
• 50:20
  Speaker 8: La Boston. They also apartments that used to be let's
• 50:26
  Speaker 8: say marginal. Let's say apartments that ah, they were like
• 50:30
  Speaker 8: a slit. Put it this way, they would be considered
• 50:32
  Speaker 8: starter apartments. There would be an apartment that you rented
• 50:37
  Speaker 8: when you first got out of school, or you first
• 50:39
  Speaker 8: got married or whatever, and then you'd work your way up.
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: Now those apartments are considered high end. The people are
• 50:47
  Speaker 8: not building new buildings here because of all the regulations.
• 50:52
  Speaker 8: Every month there's a new regulation I have to comply with.
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: The newest one was a number of years ago, about
• 51:00
  Speaker 8: ten years ago. There was the lead paint certification. Right, okay,
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: you when you reent the apartment, you had to certify
• 51:08
  Speaker 8: that there were no children under six years old. There
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: was no lead paint. Everything was either ripped out or
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: painted over, which makes the lead innocuous. Now recently, two
• 51:20
  Speaker 8: weeks ago, I got an email from the City of
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: New York saying that I have to prove in advance
• 51:28
  Speaker 8: that there's no lead.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: How do you How are you supposed to do that?
• 51:31
  Speaker 15: Yeah, here's the here's the con You have to call
• 51:35
  Speaker 15: up a lead abatement company and they come down and
• 51:40
  Speaker 15: every inch of your house they inspect for lead paint, vapors,
• 51:45
  Speaker 15: lead paint, lead and paint hasn't been used in one
• 51:48
  Speaker 15: hundred years. The only place and I used to work
• 51:51
  Speaker 15: in a steel factory sixty or sixty years ago, where
• 51:55
  Speaker 15: we used to make fuel tanks for gas nations and
• 51:58
  Speaker 15: for apartment buildings. When they would come off the assembly line,
• 52:02
  Speaker 15: me and this other kid. He was on the right
• 52:04
  Speaker 15: side and I was on the left side. And we
• 52:06
  Speaker 15: have buckets of red oxide primate paint and we would
• 52:10
  Speaker 15: paint the it's anti corrosive anthe d. We would paint
• 52:14
  Speaker 15: the tanks, and then when they were shipped out, the
• 52:17
  Speaker 15: landlord or whomever would paint them. What are the color
• 52:20
  Speaker 15: you want? That's the only place where it was found.
• 52:25
  Speaker 15: So now, when I got this letter, I called up
• 52:27
  Speaker 15: some letter batement companies. They want two hundred and seventy
• 52:32
  Speaker 15: five dollars per apartment cause certify that you don't have
• 52:38
  Speaker 15: lead vapors over a certain amount of millions.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: And Vincent I don't mean to step up the only
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: because it's almost news time. At Vincent, I guarantee there
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: are only certain people who are qualify to do that job.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: And I wonder what their connection is with the officials.
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, I don't know, but I'm going to
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: leave you with this. Vincent, you could you will appreciate this.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: I show this story that I thought of you last
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: night when I read this story, New York City will
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: see a wave of apartment buildings with ninety nine units.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: Did you hear this? So apparently there's a new tax program.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: New York City developers have hit a fresh snag and
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: trying to solve the city's housing process. It's a new
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: tax program that costs them extra money if they build
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: a building that has one hundred apartments or more. So
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: what are they doing to save? And it's a lot
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: of money. So they're capping it off at ninety nine.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: So now you're going to get like thousands of apartment
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: buildings with ninety nine units or less as a result.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: Here they want to solve the housing process, the housing
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: crisis in New York City, but yet they impost penalties
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: on landlords who want to build buildings with one hundred
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: units or more. So why bother doing it? This is
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: the left. They always cut off their noses despite their faces. Vincent,
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: you know, I love talking to you, my friend. Have
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: a wonderful weekend. Enjoy it. Ah, my goodness. All right,
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: we're going to talk about ID coming up. It is Friday,
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: Ken Rozotto and from Mark In just minutes from now,
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: we will speak with brand and digital strategist Fisher about
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: an a new easy way to get through the airport
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: using your phone instead of a passport. And then We're
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: going to hit on the issue of digital ID seven
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: ten wor.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Now more of the marximone Show on seven to ten
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: woor filling in for Mark here again is Ken Rosado, had.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: A good Friday to you seven ten wor The Voice
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: of New York and whether it's this morning is a
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: man who's on a TV show that I get to
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: do each day on the streaming channel on New Jersey.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: Brand and digital specialist and strategist Fisher, who can be
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: found on x and threads with user name at Fisher
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: and through his website Fisher dot Media to talk about
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: digital ID and how iPhone users can add a digital
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: version of their passport to their iPhones and then, in
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: a very different version of the story, how the EU
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: and UK are requiring citizens there to have a very
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: different and much more potentially dangerous version of digital ID.
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: Good morning to you, Fisher, Good morning. A lot of
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: pressure there, Yeah, I don't have too high a for you.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: So let's let's let's talk about the practical and safe
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: use of digital IDA. And that's the Apple version. Apple
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: has this really cool feature now, a digital ID for wallet.
• 55:11
  Speaker 16: Yeah, and Google has the same and with both Apple
• 55:15
  Speaker 16: Wallet and Google Wallet. You can now load your passport,
• 55:18
  Speaker 16: your United States passport into this wallet and if you've
• 55:22
  Speaker 16: used Apple Pay, and if you're in the city, you've
• 55:24
  Speaker 16: used it probably on the subway rider buses with omni,
• 55:28
  Speaker 16: So it's really easy, really simple. You double click a
• 55:31
  Speaker 16: button on the side of your watch or your phone,
• 55:33
  Speaker 16: you tap to pay. The idea is the same thing.
• 55:36
  Speaker 16: And what's great about this and it's you know, New
• 55:38
  Speaker 16: York has its driver's license in an app. At this point,
• 55:41
  Speaker 16: New Jersey's pass legislation to have their driver's license mobile,
• 55:44
  Speaker 16: Connecticut and Pennsylvania is still up in the air as
• 55:46
  Speaker 16: to where that is. Having your passport allows you to
• 55:51
  Speaker 16: go through the airport using an ID where you can
• 55:55
  Speaker 16: tap and if you've been to an airport lately, you
• 55:57
  Speaker 16: have your regular lines, you have your TSA pre check lines,
• 56:00
  Speaker 16: you have you're clear you of all that, but there's
• 56:01
  Speaker 16: a digital ID line and normally they do facial recognition,
• 56:05
  Speaker 16: and some people don't like that. They don't want the
• 56:07
  Speaker 16: government to take your picture, even though they're deleted afterwards.
• 56:10
  Speaker 17: It's just verification.
• 56:11
  Speaker 16: But now having your passport in your phone, and most
• 56:14
  Speaker 16: people have a passport in one way or another you
• 56:18
  Speaker 16: can use that digital ID even if you don't have
• 56:21
  Speaker 16: you're in a state New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania that does
• 56:24
  Speaker 16: not have a digital driver's license, so it's really convenient.
• 56:27
  Speaker 16: It's also a convenient backup right of you know, say
• 56:30
  Speaker 16: you're traveling and you lost it, you get to a
• 56:35
  Speaker 16: checkpoint at the airport, whatever, you could begin that process
• 56:37
  Speaker 16: of easily easily or easier.
• 56:40
  Speaker 17: Verifying your identification.
• 56:42
  Speaker 16: So it really opens up now having it on Apple
• 56:45
  Speaker 16: on the iPhone and your Apple Watch, and having it
• 56:49
  Speaker 16: in your Google wallet, of being able to have a
• 56:51
  Speaker 16: standard identification that you can use at all these airports.
• 56:54
  Speaker 16: And then eventually what comes down the line is the
• 56:57
  Speaker 16: ability to verify your identity on your phone or your age.
• 57:01
  Speaker 17: So say you're ordering.
• 57:02
  Speaker 16: From Uber Eats and you need to want to order
• 57:05
  Speaker 16: a bottle of wine for Thanksgiving dinner and you need
• 57:08
  Speaker 16: to verify your age, you would be able to do
• 57:11
  Speaker 16: that eventually digitally. So again you know, there's I know
• 57:16
  Speaker 16: what we're going to go into, but having a digital
• 57:19
  Speaker 16: version of your driver's license or a digital version of
• 57:21
  Speaker 16: your passport isn't as scary as what might be going
• 57:25
  Speaker 16: on in other countries where they're doing national digital ideas.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: Let me just remind folks, you're listening to seven ten
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: wore the Voice of New York Ken Rosotto and from
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone on a Friday, and we are speaking to Fisher,
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: who is a brand and digital strategist. We're talking about
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: having your passport now on your iPhone or your Android.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: I found myself the other day. I had driven from
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: Jersey to visit folks in Westchester, and while I was
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: halfway there, I realized, oh my god, I left my
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: wallet at home. But I remembered I have my driver's
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: license in my phone, so at least rather than turning
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: around and going home, I just continued on my way.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: And I also have a credit card on my phone,
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: so I could tap and use that. But being fifty eight,
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: like I still have a paddic attack not having my
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: wallet now. We talked about this is the positive. Right
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: when you use your you have your license on your phone.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: In New York, New Jersey, all they can do is
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: have access when I say they police or whatever, if
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: you've gotten stopped, they only have access to the info
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: on your license with a tap.
• 58:23
  Speaker 16: Correct, correct, So what happens is and eventually as this
• 58:27
  Speaker 16: becomes a standard right and digital IDs begin to roll
• 58:31
  Speaker 16: out across the state. Right now, only twelve states in
• 58:34
  Speaker 16: Puerto Rico have a driver's license failable in your Apple wallets.
• 58:37
  Speaker 16: Some other states, like I said, New York, Oklahoma, they
• 58:40
  Speaker 16: have their own app. But eventually, what will happen is
• 58:42
  Speaker 16: you go to We'll start easy. You go to a
• 58:45
  Speaker 16: bar or a restaurant and again need to verify ID
• 58:48
  Speaker 16: whether you're to get in or at the bar. You
• 58:51
  Speaker 16: would just tap your ID to a reader and it
• 58:54
  Speaker 16: would only give the information needed. So if your pictures
• 58:57
  Speaker 16: say that you're over twenty one, whatever, that is, right.
• 59:00
  Speaker 16: If you get pulled over by an officer, you they
• 59:02
  Speaker 16: would have a reader on them. I know there's a
• 59:04
  Speaker 16: lot of skepticism of well, don't don't hand your police
• 59:08
  Speaker 16: officer your phone. Absolutely, don't hand anybody your phone. But
• 59:11
  Speaker 16: what they will eventually have is just a reader, probably
• 59:14
  Speaker 16: a small little you know, reader on their vest or
• 59:17
  Speaker 16: on a clipboard or something, and you'll just tap. It'll
• 59:19
  Speaker 16: only show the information that they need. Now, obviously, as
• 59:21
  Speaker 16: a police officer, they will probably have your picture, date
• 59:24
  Speaker 16: of birth, you know driver's license class, you know whether
• 59:28
  Speaker 16: you can drive an eighteen wheel or motorcycle, et cetera.
• 59:30
  Speaker 16: There'll probably be some information. And when you go to
• 59:33
  Speaker 16: tsa same thing. When you tap your phone, it'll give
• 59:35
  Speaker 16: the information needed to verify. You know, it's a real ID,
• 59:39
  Speaker 16: your again, your picture, your name, all of that, right
• 59:41
  Speaker 16: to match your ticket. So yes, it is a permission based,
• 59:46
  Speaker 16: you know, kind of identification. So you you only show
• 59:49
  Speaker 16: the information that that.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: We had talked about that in the bests. My fear was, oh,
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: you hand your officer the phone and now he could
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: go through and he'll find something, Well what's that and
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: you say that can't happen. You do not and them
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: the phone. It's just a tap. They would have a reader,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: just like restaurants have a reader when you go to
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: pay right.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 17: Yeah, and it's right that or omnis.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 16: I'm not as familiar with the with Google as I
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 16: am Apple, because as you know, I'm an Apple fanboy.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 16: But I have Express Transit, so I tap when I
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 16: go to the subway. But sometimes you'd have to double tap,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 16: you know, or a double click on the side of
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 16: your phone and then tap that way, depending on how
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 16: you have your phone set up.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 17: It's the same thing.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 16: And when you go to TSA with your passport on
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 16: your iOS or Google device, Android device, same thing. You
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 16: would double tap or double click your phone, it would
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 16: show the ID. You tap it to their reader and
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 16: then you wait for you know, to verify, and then
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 16: you walk through TSA.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: And we have two minutes left. So I'm just giving
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: your heads up on that. You are listening to seven
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: ten w R the Voice of New York kens in
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: from Mark on a Friday with Fisher who has a
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: digital strategist and Fisher talk about the difference between the
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: digital ID we're talking about here in the US and
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: now the digital ID which gives me the creeps, the
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: big brother version that they have in the EU and
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: in UK exactly.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 16: So in Britain they are doing a mandatory digital ID
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 16: system by twenty twenty nine. They're saying it's to combat
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 16: illegal working and deter migrants, but it's going to.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 17: Serve as your proof of right to work.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 16: It's going to eventually be a way that you can
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 16: get insurance, buy a house, renting property, opening a bank account,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 16: all of that. And as you know you might have
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 16: heard in China they use they have social credits, right,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 16: so if you do something or say something you can
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 16: be restricted from gaining access to something. That's what Britain's
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 16: going down the path to is you may not be
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 16: able to ride the tube or you may not be
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 16: able to take a plane because you wouldn't be able
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 16: to get through you know, their version of TSA. It
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 16: is going down a path of big brother and that
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 16: again is in the UK. It is not the same
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 16: as digital driver's license or your passport on your phone
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 16: that we have here in the United States.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: Something tells me the mom Danni's of the world wish
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: it could go that way though.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 17: I would, Yes, sure it would, but it would be
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 17: in England.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 16: It's more like you're on a college campus and you
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 16: have your ID and you tap it to go everywhere,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 16: get into everything. It's that same premise compared to what
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 16: we have here in the United States, which is not that.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then your ID gets stolen in Britain and
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: then you your screw.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 17: Yeah.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 16: And if that's right, and we've talked about that, if
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 16: that's a way for you to access your bank account
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 16: and that ID accesses everything, if that does get you know,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 16: hacked in some way in Britain, that can cause a
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 16: lot of problems because that's one id for everything that's bad.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, I love talking to you all the
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: time because you are the man in the no brand

  Speaker 2: Steven Manhattan, you're on seven ten wr Good morning.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 18: All right, Ken and Dog. Just tell everybody that foreign
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 18: countries like China, Russia, Guitar, Saudi Arabia amongst you many countries,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 18: they pour billions of dollars into America through lobbying and
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 18: business deals. And the first thing those countries say is
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 18: keep your borders wide open.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 11: And increase immigration more. And they're flooding it. They have
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 11: the biggest influence. I hear elderly people calling in. They
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 11: want to know who's bringing all the money in. Well,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 11: they're bringing it in and they're gaining citizenship. Millions of
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 11: third world as have come in to America and millions
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 11: of third world is both third world American hating candidates
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 11: like the Communist mayor elect of New York City. Folks,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 11: you shouldn't act surprise. Nineteen sixty five Immigration Acts has
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 11: to go.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: Well. You know, it's amazing. We have tons of great immigrants.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately the ones that came illegally did not start the
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: process the right way. The ones who came legally, God
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: bless them, and they helped build a great country. But
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: doing it the legal ways the way we got to
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: do it. Steve, thank you so much. I appreciate the call.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: Seven to ten wo R the Voice of New York.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Glenn in New Jersey. Glenn, good morning,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: and I have a New Jersey to the driver's license.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 19: Now, employers are prohibited h to asking your data birth
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 19: on an application, but sometimes what they'll do is they'll say,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 19: this job entails driving, and we need to just have
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 19: your driver's license number. We don't need to actually look
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 19: at it. We're breaking up identify you. The first two
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 19: is the year, your month, the second is your year
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 19: of birth, and the last is your eye color.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: Oh. Interesting, Interesting, So you think they could glean a
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: lot from that right by kind of reading around the lines.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 19: There, Yeah, because now they know how old you are,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 19: and if you're too old based upon your driver's license number,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 19: you're not going to get the job.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: Interesting. So that's age discrimination without saying it's age discrimination. Right,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: very clever, that's the way it's done well, you know.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: But again, though, you would think California would have exercised
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: the same caution before they gave out a commercial driver's
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: licenses to people who weren't citizens of the United States. Glenn,
