• 0:10
  Speaker 2: of the week is here. Mark's off on a long weekend.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Former New York City TV news anchor came Rosata Inn
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: and I was the Morning in Midday TV news anchor
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: for twenty years. Hey on Channel seven. I did the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: same thing over in Channel five before that. These days,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I host a daily show. It's a New Jersey based
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: news channel that I'm on. It's called on New Jersey
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Appropriate right. You could stream it live, or you could
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: watch the rerun of our shows at ONNJ dot com
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: on New Jersey ONNJ dot com. I also run a
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: food website for all new foodies. It's called the Food Dude.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Links to hundreds of thousands of recipes all over the world.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: It's free and it is at Thefooddude dot us. Good
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: to be here with you. We got a lot to
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: talk about today to wrap up the busy newsweek, but
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: we want to hear from you. The phone lines are
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: open one eight hundred two one zero seven to ten.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Massive flooding in New York and the tri State yesterday
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: did you get caught in any of that. Man, oh man,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the wind, the storm, it was like a nor' easter,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: but it wasn't. I guess officially it wasn't a nor' easter,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: but nonetheless a huge front. We had one to three
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: inches of rain, depending on where you were. But some
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: of the low lying areas, like we know southern Brooklyn,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the coastal areas, they were under feet of standing water
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: and people in basement apartments got really flooded. At least
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: two people have died that we know of, so our
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: prayers for them. Just awful, awful rain. And speaking of
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: awful rain, awful news. In Jamaica, Hurricane Melissa causing at
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: least fifty nine deaths that we know of so far,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: because it's possible that as they get through all the destruction,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the devastation, they may find more people. Just widespread destruction.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: A mother talks about how she's helping her children through
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the disaster. I tried to be strong with them, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: but deep inside, I'm crying. I'm really really crying. What
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: your is like?
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Hid it?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: We will survive, we will survive, we will survey. Amen
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to you, and I mean amen to that. Just an
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: awful storm that was a Cat five Category five hitting
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Jamaica at one hundred and eighty five miles an hour.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I think it's it's ranked the worst, if not one
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: of the worst storms to hit Landfall in terms of
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: power in the Atlantic. It's just amazing. Back at home,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the mayor's race continues to tighten. But is it too little,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: too late? Here were the three candidates at a recent debate.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: I am the last person on this stage that mister
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Trump wants to see as mayor.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: I am Donald Trump's worst nightmare, as a progressive Muslim
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: immigrant who actually fights for the things that I believe in.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, if you believe Andrew Como, who's calling up Trump
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: all the time, I'm going to stand up to him.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: John Dammy, I'm going to stand up to him. You
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: stand up to President Trump, will go. He shows all
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: the money. Guess what we the citizens lose now.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Andrew Cuomo was on with Larry Menti on Menti in
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the Morning today. He recently received an infusion of some
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: cash one and a half million dollars from former mayor
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: and billionaire Michael Bloomberg through a political action committee. The question, again,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: is is it too little too late Now. Three polls
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: were released this week and they show the Cuomo has
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: improved his chances, but that was only four days to go,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: so it looks like it's going to take a miracle
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: at this point. The closest poll is I guess the
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Quinnipiac University poll, and that one is showing Cuomo within
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: ten points of Mamdanni. And while lots of nice improvement,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you remember, it only takes one vote, that's it. If
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Mum Donnie has one more vote than the next person,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: that's it. There's an Emerson College poll that has mam
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Donni twenty five points ahead of Cuomo, and the Marist
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: poll has Mamdanni sixteen points ahead. So I don't mean
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: to be the negative Nelly here, but I don't see
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: how it gets pulled off. Nonetheless, you never know, because
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: not every body goes voting for mayor. You have a
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: lot of people who sit it out, go and vote.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: You may surprise yourself and everybody and change things. So
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: we'll see where it goes. By the way, recent survey
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: shows that get this, sixty nine percent of anyone under
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the age of fifty in New York supports Mam Donnie. Yeah,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: let me let me repeat that, sixty nine percent, so
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: nearly seven and ten of all New Yorkers under the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: age fifty and under. Now it's not twenty and under
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: or thirty and under fifty an under, as I like
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: to say, they should know better by then they support
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Mam Donnie. So at this point, all you on the right,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I say we should sit back, get a bag of popcorn,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: and watch as New York implodes with liberalism and socialism
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: because it doesn't work. It has failed everywhere, it's been tried.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Everything that Mam Donni wants to give you free, free, free,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: free has to get paid for by someone from some somewhere,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: and that money doesn't exist. And you can't have rent
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: control you know. Where he comes in, it takes over
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and freezes rent. That is done by the rent Control Board.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: That's state law. You can't just come in and say,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: well I'll sign a mayoral proclamation. Well good luck with that.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: It's not enforceable. So this is going to be interesting
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: to see. And by the way, everybody was like, yeah,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: we should freeze the rent. Yeah, I wish we could.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: The problem is the city keeps imposing all these rules
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: on landlords, so they have to maintain their buildings, which
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: is fine and they should, but that costs money. It
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: costs millions of dollars. People have this misconception that every
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: landlord is a billionaire sitting back counting their money, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: that's not always the case. In many cases, it's people
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: who inherit a building from a relative or whatever, and
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: now they have to maintain it or they have to
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: distress sell it. In the meantime, the city comes in,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: it says you owe taxes, you have to keep it heated.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: If there's anything that breaks down, you got to fix
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: it immediately. There are all these rules and rags. So yeah,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: while there are some landlords who are very wealthy, many
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: or not. So don't don't paint with such a broad
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: brushes what I'm saying. Seven ten wore the Voice of
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: New York. It's Ken Rozottowin from Mark Halloueni Friday. What
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: are you dressing up as today? Phone lines are open
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: eight hundred and three to two one zero seven ten.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: There's a New Manhattan Institute poll that shows it if
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Congresswoman Elise Stephanic from upstate New York, if Elise were
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: to run against Kathy Hochel for Governor of New York,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Stephanic would beat her right now by one point. New
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: York City may be blue, but the state is definitely purple.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: So while poles are just a momentary snapshot of opinion,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: it does show you that New York State is very
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: much up for grabs and the citizens are just fed
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: up with the status quo. Flip over to the garden state,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: New Jersey. It's a whole different story. Two poles two
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: days apart have Mikey, Cheryl and Jack Chiarelli a point apart,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: well within the margin of error. This was him last night,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: by the way, during a town hall that Sean Hannity
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: had with Fox News Channel. Listen. As he entered the room,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: let's go hometown crowd, hometown crowd, it just became a
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: it just became a Trump rally. To that, Chitterrelly responded, No,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: it's a Chitterrelly rally, which I thought was kind of interesting.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Guy that left a little silence in the room. Jackson,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: nice man. I've interviewed him myself on my show several
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: times and here actually had him on here once while
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I filled in for I guess no, while yeah, I
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: filled in for Larry that day. Hard to keep track,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: but he's a great guy. We've invited Mikey Cheryl on
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: this show when I'm in filling in. We've invited her
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: on the show I do in New Jersey probably fifty times.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: You actually get, let's just say, a negative response. They
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: want nothing to do with with half her talk to
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: media of any kind except for MSNBC, where they feel
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: they'll have a friendly audience. That's it. So we'll see
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: what happens. You know, you have till Tuesday. Early voting
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: in New Jersey is through this Sunday, so you can
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: go and early vote till Sunday. Otherwise Monday there is
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: no voting Tuesday. You vote in person and that's that.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Then we'll I think Tuesday night's going to be a
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: very very late night. When asked about the polls, Jack
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Chidarelli had this to say, especially the early returns.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: Our internal poll in twenty one said that we had
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: a real shot this time. The internal polling says a
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: whole lot better. But listen, all I could tell is
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: wherever I go around the state, the energy is electric.
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: The reception of minority communities has been overwhelming positive, and
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: when Democratic mayors across the state are endorsing the Republican nominee.
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: It tells you we're on the summer.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So there are four people in New Jersey who
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: either are still Democrat and endorsed him, or are These
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: are council members and mayors or actually left the Democrat
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Party altogether the Republican Party and endorsed and support him
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: right now. So all the police unions are all behind
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: in the fire departments, they're all in support of Jack Cheddarelli.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: When I said the early early polling or early results,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: what I meant was the early voting that occurred. Jack
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: talked about the early ballots.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: We've seen the greatest number of Republicans returned vote by
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: mail ballots. That's a very very good sign. And they
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: went out in last third week of September, and we're
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: matching them voter for voter here in the six days
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: or five days of early voting that we've had thus far.
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: That'll conclude on Sunday. Listen, if we go into election
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: day within a certain number of points, we're gonna win
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: this thing.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: And now, just because a larger number of Republicans returned ballots,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: that doesn't mean every single Republican is going to support
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: the Republican candidate. I mean, chances are they will, but
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: you know, you never know. So same thing for the Democrat.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Just because they were talking about, oh, Mikey Cheryl is
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: edging out Cheddarelli in terms of a return of the ballot,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: we got more Cheryl or more Democrat ballots coming in. Again,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: that doesn't mean that they're all voting for Mikey Cheryl.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: If they're all Democrats sending their ballots in, it could
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: go the other way. But overall, generally speaking, probably ninety
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: five percent or more will support their respective candidates and
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: their respective parties. Now, one thing I find that's interesting
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: if you go back four years this week exactly one
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: week actually before election day, four years ago, so a
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: little under four years ago, there was a Monmouth University
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: poll that had Governor Murphy eleven points ahead of Jack Chittarelli.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: As is typical, all the polls tend to skew to
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the left and they always give a better showing for
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: whoever the Democrat is. But so even though the polls
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: showed Murphy was eleven points ahead just days before the election,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: he only won by three points. So the polls were
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: off by eight. Well, if that holds true today, if
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Chittarelli is behind or ahead, say just by a point,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: or they're tied as the polls are showing right now,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: generally has a real shot. He may even win by three,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: four five points. You never know, but you have to
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: have to have to vote. If your parents are elderly
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: and have difficulty getting to the polls, make sure they
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: have a ride. Okay, if you drive and your friends don't,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: make sure they have a ride. Make sure, no matter what,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: try to early vote if you can. And if you
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: want to go on election day, then make sure you
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: get there. I tend to say, you never know. You
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: could get stuck at work late. You never know, you
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: may wake up late. I would try to early vote
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: if you can between now and Sunday. Don't take the chance.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: But make sure, no matter what, whether it's New York
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: City now or New Jersey, get out and vote. And
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: then the other thing I want to ask all you
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: folks in Jersey, don't just vote for governor and call
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: it a day. You have every Assembly seat up for grabs,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: and there's one Senate seat down south it's to fill
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: a vacancy. Make sure you vote down the ballot, and
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: if you want to send a message and you are
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: voting for the Republican candidate for governor, vote A lot
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: of people say, yeah, I vote for Republicans for president
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: and governor, and then I vote Democrat for the local offices.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Not a good idea. Not a good idea because you
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: end up causing gridlock. You've had listen in New Jersey
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: right now. The governor's a Democrat, State Assembly, state Senate,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: the Supreme Court all Democrat control, all of them. You
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: have the top fifteen cities in New Jersey run by
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Democrat mayor's Democrat administrations. The top fifteen all right, New
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Jersey goes only about nine and a half million people.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: You have both US Senate seats occupied by Democrats, and
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: you have nine of the twelve Congress seats US Congress
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: seats that are occupied by Democrats. So you've already given
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Democrats a shot. And New Jersey has the highest energy
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: builds in the nation, some of the highest taxes, the
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: highest cost for pupil with not always the greatest return
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: depending on what district we're talking about. So if you
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: are tired of the expenses and the regulation and allowing
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: adult men in girls' bathrooms because they wake up thinking
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: they're women enough. If you're tired of the sanctuary state
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: and sanctuary city status of New Jersey, stop voting Democrat.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: It's as simple as that. It's like the definition of insanity.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: You keep doing the same thing over and over again,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: expecting a different outcome. Not get off try something different
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: for once. I was reading some of the blogs last night.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: It's amazing how many people who were complaining about the
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: cost of energy and the cost of taxes and homes
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: and everything else, and they were saying, but vote blue.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: What are you expecting to change? What do you think
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: is suddenly Mikey Cheryl is just a different person, And
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: all the people running for Assembly on the left are different,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: They're all the same. Mikey Cheryl supported everything. Joe Biden
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: put up everything. So don't expect the difference if you
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: keep voting Democrat. Now. The Democrat shutdown is on day
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: thirty one. Senate Majority Leader John Thune says the Democrats
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: seemingly never won it to end. It was also a
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: disturbing signal the Democrats are ready to continue this shut down.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I guess forever. Well. There may be a solution President
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Trump is suggesting the Senate used the so called nuclear option.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: So right now, when you have a spending plan that
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: goes from the House to the Senate, and it has
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: to go in that direction, it starts in the House,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: then a spending plan goes to the Senate. The Senate
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: must pass any spending plan with sixty votes, okay, otherwise
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: you can have a filibuster. So you need at least
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: sixty votes. Republicans only have fifty three members of the Senate,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: so you need those Democrats to help. Now. Right now,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: a couple of Democrats have come across, but there are
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: still five short, so they need five more Democrats to
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: make this happen. All we're talking about is a continuing resolution,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: not a spending plan. The continuing resolution would simply continue
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: the spending plan passed last year. That was Biden's spending
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: plan passed by Democrats. And all the Republicans are asking
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: is you continue it for four more weeks, But the
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Democrats don't want to do it. Chuck Schumer got to
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: put my glasses at the tip of my nose when
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I say his name to get in the mood. Chuck
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Schuma is saying that no, we will not budge. Okay,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Now tomorrow you will have forty two million Americans not
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: receiving Snap benefits, so no food stamps. People are going
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: to rely on soup kitchens and whatnot, thanks to the Democrats.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Because every Republican, I think one, only one Republican in
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: the Senate is not voting for this. Everyone else has
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: voted for this. So it's the Democrats. This is the
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Democrat government shutdown, the Schumer shutdown. Don't let them tell
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: you otherwise, because every Republican is trying to reopen the
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: government right now. Even CNN is showing that Americans believe
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: this is the fault of the Democrats. President Trump's approval
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: writing has actually gone up a point since the government
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: shutdown has taken place. Seven ten WR the Voice of

  Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten. Partly sunny today,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: highsmid fifties, windy. Make sure you bundle up tonight for
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: the trick retreating, and just a bit we'll speak with
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: New Jersey Republican State Senator Michael Testa about the federal
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Schumer Democrat government shutdown on the fact that's starting tomorrow,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: we'll have eight hundred thousand New Jersey Snap recipients not
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: getting their SNAP benefits. So that is a horrible thing.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: We hope this can get resolve soon the time now
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: ten twenty two, will be right back.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: wr Ken Fro Today.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Here's Ken Rosatto.
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: Good to be with you.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: We go to the phones right now. Jay, Good morning,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: you're on the air.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Ken, How are you?
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I'm good? Thank you good.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: I just are illustrious Governor Murphy's press police regarding.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: You know what are you're going to repeat yourself because
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: my headphones have a short. Please say that one more time, Jay,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Now I got them. Midge.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: I just wonder please that New Jersey's Governor Murphy put
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: out regarding the SNAP benefits.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, you know what I didn't see? Did you just
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: put out a new press release?
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: Now, ate, yes, look at that Trump administration's failure to snap.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, of course it's the Trump administration. So you have
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: like three hundred and fifty four hundred Republicans supporting a
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: continuing resolution, a Democrat spending plan that was passed a
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: year ago, that was under the Biden administration. That was
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: perfectly fine for them then, but now we will want
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: to extend it four weeks. That's it, so that we
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: can keep the government open, give people the Schnap benefits,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: and then work on a new spending plan for the
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: next year. They won't give us five more votes. And
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: yet somehow it's Trump's failure. Yeah, that's right, Well it
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: makes total sense. You know what the American people are
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: calling it bs a Mergan. Nobody has just heard you
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: say that he's the least effective governor I think we've
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: ever had in New Jersey. It's a joke and glad
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: to see him go audio. So you notice you notice
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: that Mikey Cheryl thinks so little of him that he's
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: not camped painting with her. Jay, thank you so much,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: appreciate the call. We go to Steve in Manhattan. Good morning.
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: Right there, kend and you are we belong on the airwaves.
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: And remember this year, this year we have two halloweens.
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: We have one today and we also have one in
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: November fourth. I just want to remind people Ken this
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: is important that we have to get out because there's
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: other people on the ballot and the ballot initiatives in
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: New York City one through six, ballance two three and four.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Folks, everyone's putting a big no there that takes away
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: your power in your neighborhood, your community, to stop developers
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: from going in there and doing whatever they want. All
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: the power will go to the mayor. Pitch a man, Danny.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: With this power, he'll put homeless shelters in your neighborhood.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: He'll put thousing projects. And if you don't own a
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: home or a condo, it still affects you. You're renting.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: You might have a nice neighborhood in the South sho State,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: and I bitle the housing project next door to you.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: No on two, three and four proposals, folks, let's not
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: get caught up and all the things, because we have
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: there's seven council members who are Republicans. A couple of
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: those late races were real close. Yes, So I'm pulling
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: my cards right at the table.
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: Steve.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I know you're right, and I'm with you because and look,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I love Curtis. I pray every day for the miracle.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I can't vote in New York. I live in New Jersey,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: but I pray for him. You know it's the truth.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Too many people just vote for the top office and
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: walk out. You gotta go down the ballot and take
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: a minute and study the baut You can go online
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: and get the ballots they sent you sample ballots in
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: the mail. Sit down, read the ballots over the weekend.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Make sure you know exactly what you're gonna do when
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: you get in the voting booth. Don't look at the
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: at the proposals. First thing. When you walk in the booth,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: know in advance what you're going to be voting for.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. We go to Jerry and New Jersey.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Good morning to you.
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: Good morning Ken.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: I believe the Democrats purposely keeping the government clothes until
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: after the election.
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: I agree, so they can get some ask into.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: The New Jersey election, Virginia and New York.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I think you're one hundred percent right. I guarantee you're right.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: If I'm sorry to step on you, Jerry, I bet
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: you by Thursday, you'll see that they'll somehow come up
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: with the extra votes in the Senate. And that's why
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: the idea. I know President Trump is saying go nuclear.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know about that, because once you go nuclear.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: That's it. Once you've let the cat out of the bag,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: that's it exactly. I'm with you. And then if you remember,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: if we becoming the minority in the Senate, then we
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: have no say against the Democrats. I don't know that
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: that's such a great idea, but I'm with you very much, Jerry.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Have a great day and happy Halloween,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: and we go to Vincent and Brooklyn. My friend, how
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: are you.
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Ken? I'm fine. Ken. You're right on the
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: money when you talk about all the rules and regulations
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: that homeowners have to comply with in the state of
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: New York and in the City of New York. Can
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: any rent increase? I gave my tenants because every year
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: my taxes on my houses keep going up. This year
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: was offset by a new one. Now the city council
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: made a law. I have to have an EPA certified
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: lead inspector come in each apartment to inspect it for
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: lead fume that maybe leftover from one hundred years ago.
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: First off, nobody uses lead based paint anymore. The only
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: place where and I used to work at a steel
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: factory almost sixty years ago. We used to I used
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: to fabricate fuel tanks for buildings, gas stations and for
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: home heating oil. And the red paint on there is
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: what's called red oxide. That's the only place it was used.
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: And then you would paint over it. So now, despite
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: the fact that the lead paint becomes innocuous when you
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: paint over it, in the past, I could self certify,
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: especially in the case of my homes, all the walls
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: were ripped out, the houses were renovated many times in
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: the last hundred years, and in the past I could
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: certify that there were no children under six years old
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: in the apartment, that there's no kids eating led of paintships,
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: where are the mother or father looking at these kids
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: the ghetto?
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: And that just wait until you have a communist mayor
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: in this I'm sorry, democratic socialist mayor in this city.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: You'll have if you think the regulations are bad, now
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: forget about it. It's gonna be crazy.
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: And on Mark Simone's advice, my girlfriend and I are
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: already looking at a second home in Fairfield, Connecticut.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, listen, come over to Jersey. If we get
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Chitarelli in come and live with us in Jersey. It's
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: a good place.
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: Okay, I'm gonna teach you some Italian. It's not Hitarelli.
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: It's chatting.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: This discussion.
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: Now, yes, it calls sauce gravy.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Well think about it in terms of sugo. That's what
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: it is. Sugo. All right, Vincent, I love you, brother,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: God bless you. I have a good Halloween, good weekend.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Seven ten wr the time ten thirty four, and a
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: little later we'll speak with New Jersey Republican state Senator
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Michael Testa about the Schumer Democrat government shutdown and starting tomorrow,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: eight hundred thousand New Jersey residents who depend on Snap
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: to eat will not be getting their funds.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Now more of the Marximone show on seven ten wor
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: filling in for Mark.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Here again is Ken Rosado. And it is a Friday morning.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: It is Halloween. Are you dressing up? Are you going out?
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: At?
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: What age? Is it too old to go out? You
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: know that Halloween actually has its date going back to
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: the eighth century, and it was adults who dressed up
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: for Halloween. It was a religious holiday. Just give me
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: a little son you could chat about. No, it was
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: not a pagan holiday. It was similar to Sowen but
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: it's not a pagan holiday. It's actually a Christian holiday. Anyway.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Mark is off today, Ken Rozotto in New Jersey, Republican
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: state Senator Michael Testa is here to talk about the
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: federal Schumer Democrat government shut down on the fact that's
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: starting tomorrow's SNAP benefits will not go out to eight
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand New Jersey residents. We say good morning to Senator.
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: Good morning.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: It's good to be back with you.
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: And look, I think for Halloween, I heard what you
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: were saying earlier. When I grew up. You know, I
• 24:28
  Speaker 9: was a child of the eighties. When you were about
• 24:30
  Speaker 9: twelve thirteen, you were supposed to stop trick or treating,
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: that's for sure. And I can tell you at my house,
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: I see some kids who are you know, probably able
• 24:38
  Speaker 9: to drink alcoholic beverages legally, who are still, you know,
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: walking around my neighborhood asking for candy. I don't necessarily
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: love that idea. I'm happy that they get in the spirit,
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: and I'm glad that you pointed out that All Hallows
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: Eve is not a pagan holiday.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Right, believe it or not. I mean, the term hollows
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: refers to the Saints because tomorrow is All Saints' Day.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: All Hollows Eve is the eve before All Hollows which
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: was All Saints Day. That's where it started eighth century
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: and it was a way of honoring the saints in
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: the church. But a lot of people today it's been
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: co opted and people, oh, it's a pagan holiday. No,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: it wasn't. So that's why we dressed up. It was
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: you dressed up like a saint, or you're dressed up
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: like a skeleton to remind you of your mortality. But anyway,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: I digress. We should talk about the Let's talk about
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: the Snap situation. Eight hundred thousand New Jersey residents who
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: depend on Snap to eat. As of tomorrow, the benefits
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: are cut off. And that's all because five Democrats in
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: the US Senate will not shift ranks and vote with Republicans.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: This is awful.
• 25:37
  Speaker 9: Look, they're using needy people as pawns. And let's also
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: take note of the fact that we have air traffic
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: controllers right now at large airports like Newark Airport who
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: are not being paid, working multiple shifts. From what I'm told,
• 25:56
  Speaker 9: they're getting paychecks that literally say zero on them given them,
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: but they say zero I don't know if that's one
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: hundred percent true or not, but that's the rumor that
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: I've heard. This shutdown is one hundred percent due to
• 26:10
  Speaker 9: the Democrats. It has nothing to do with President Trump.
• 26:14
  Speaker 9: And it amazes me how supposed legitimate news sources are
• 26:19
  Speaker 9: trying to put the blame on the Republicans, trying to
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: put the blame on President Trump. And they use the line, well,
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: you have control of the White House, the Senate, and
• 26:30
  Speaker 9: the Congress. And I say, you know what's really sad
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: about that? You folks don't even have the intellectual honesty
• 26:37
  Speaker 9: to say that it takes sixty votes in the Senate
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: to overcome the filibuster, which the Democrats have rejected thirteen times.
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: They have voted no thirteen times. And make no mistake,
• 26:50
  Speaker 9: Andy Kim and Corey Booker, the US senators from the
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: state of New Jersey, have voted no each and every time.
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: If people are missing out on benefits, blame them.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Just to remind everyone, we're listening to New Jersey Republican
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: state Senator Michael Testa. This is Ken Rosotto in for
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone today on your Friday Halloween, and this is
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: what is sad. We don't know if they're truly stupid,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: and I think in many cases they just ignorant. Some
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: of the younger reporters don't get it, they really don't,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: or if they're just being disingenuous. They know. But it
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: doesn't fit the narrative to say that it's the fault
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: of five Democrats. Listen, whenever we had, and we had
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: many times in history, Democrats in charge and there was
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: a handful of Republicans holding things up, all of the
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Democrats and mainstream media blamed the Republicans. It was the
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Republican shutdown, the Republican shutdown, and we took a hit
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: for it on the Republican side. You can't have it
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: the opposite way. You can't say, now that the Democrats
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: are in the minority and the Republicans have the majority,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: that the five votes we need in the Senate, that
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: it's still the Republican's fault. How could it be the
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Republican's fault both ways?
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: Well, that just goes to show you how biased the
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: media has been. And thank God for people like you
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: who are actually intellectually honest and not intellectually disingenuous, as
• 28:04
  Speaker 9: so many members of the media have been, including where
• 28:07
  Speaker 9: we saw it probably at its worst during the COVID shutdowns,
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: but we don't need to get to that. Look, I
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: released a statement that really put the blame where it
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: belongs in the lapse of the Democrats in Washington. I
• 28:21
  Speaker 9: called on Governor Murphy and I'm glad that he I
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: don't know if he directly responded to my release, but
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: I'm really happy to see Governor Murphy and the majority
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: Senate President's Katarian Assembly Speaker Coughlan announced an accelerated delivery
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: of forty two point five million dollars in food and
• 28:37
  Speaker 9: hunger grants. Because I can tell you I represent Cumberland
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: County and Cumberland County is one of the two poorest
• 28:43
  Speaker 9: counties in the state of New Jersey, with families that
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: desperately need food, they desperately need distance, and this will
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: go a long way to do that. So this is
• 28:54
  Speaker 9: one area where I will say that Governor Murphy, Senate
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: President's Katari, and Assembly Speaker Coughland have acted. Of course,
• 29:01
  Speaker 9: what did they do though? They blamed the Republicans in
• 29:04
  Speaker 9: Washington as well, instead of just accepting it and saying,
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: you know what, what's going on in Washington is ridiculous.
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: They could have kept it neutral, but no, what did
• 29:12
  Speaker 9: they do. They blamed the Republicans in Washington. So yet
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: more of the spin that is just completely false.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Well, the biggest, the biggest joke, Senator, is that this
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: is not a budget plan. This is only a continuation
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: of last year's budget plan, which all the Democrats voted
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: for to approve. So it was good enough a year
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: ago when Biden was president, but it's suddenly not good
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: enough for one more month so that they could get
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: back open the government again and vote on a new
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: spending plan. It's obvious they know that they're not going
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: to get anything that they want for the new spending plan.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: So they're just trying to play like a bunch of kids,
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: you know, on the playground, taking their ball and their
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: bat and going home. And they're just being childish and
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: in the meantime they're making people suffer.
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: They absolutely are, and very similar to rama manual, Rama manual,
• 29:59
  Speaker 9: sort of the mass head if we remember, for Democrat philosophy,
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: never allow a crisis to go to waste. And the
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: Democrats in Washington, including United States Senators Corey Booker and
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: Andy Kim, are not allowing this manufactured crisis to go
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: to waste.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Well, according to CNN, right now, the American people are
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: blaming the Democrats for it. In fact, President Trump's approval
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: rating has gone up a point since the government's shut down.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: So and in spite of that fact, President Trump saying
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: we have to end it. He could. The way it's going,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: he could keep the shutdown going two more months. His
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: approval rating will keep going up. He's saying, no, end
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: it now, Just go nuclear, get fifty one votes instead
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: of sixty, change the rules of the Senate and make
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: it happen. The problem is once you go nuclear, once,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: that's that, and we don't want to We don't want
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: to ruin that rule, all right. State Senator New Jersey
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Michael Testa, always a pleasure talking to you. Fingers cross

• 31:43
  Speaker 10: Halloween is a religious holiday and I like that you
• 31:46
  Speaker 10: pointed out how it shows good and evil, and I
• 31:50
  Speaker 10: was thinking of the opposites of good and evil that
• 31:53
  Speaker 10: happened that we should look at. That was an interesting point.
• 31:56
  Speaker 10: I don't think a lot of people knew what you shared.
• 31:58
  Speaker 10: That people step like saints and then people dressed up
• 32:02
  Speaker 10: like skeletons that showed the good and evil.
• 32:04

• 32:05
  Speaker 10: The opposite of the good and evil are That would
• 32:08
  Speaker 10: represent what you're talking about. Like Jesus gave his life
• 32:12
  Speaker 10: his blood for us, and then vampires sucked the blood
• 32:16
  Speaker 10: out of us. Yeah, and Jesus died for us so
• 32:19
  Speaker 10: that we could live forever in eternity, in the best way,
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: and then people go around like zombies and vampires, walking
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: like the walking dead instead of the walking that lived.
• 32:31
  Speaker 10: And just another thing I thought about is that you know,
• 32:34
  Speaker 10: children go around and they get candy and they get
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: get and that's okay, you give because people are still giving.
