Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Now, the Mark Simone Show on 710WOR. Filling in for Mark,
- 0:06Speaker 1: here's Ken Rosado. It always makes me scratch my head
- 0:10Speaker 1: and say, did he just say my name on the
- 0:12Speaker 1: Mark Simone Show? So nice to be with you. Mark
- 0:15Speaker 1: is off again today. He's been enjoying his nice long weekends, well-deserved.
- 0:20Speaker 1: I like the way he does summer. He takes, instead
- 0:23Speaker 1: of having, right, like a week or two-week stretch and
- 0:26Speaker 1: go to, you know, wherever, Tahiti, He enjoys his long weekends,
- 0:31Speaker 1: and he goes somewhere regional, and he has a nice time.
- 0:33Speaker 1: And that's the way to go. If I could do
- 0:35Speaker 1: that every year, I would do it, too. Mark knows
- 0:36Speaker 1: how to do it with class. That's why he is
- 0:38Speaker 1: the great Mark Simone. I am the not-as-great Ken Rosato,
- 0:42Speaker 1: but so nice to be here. For those saying, who
- 0:45Speaker 1: is he? Former TV news anchor, used to be on
- 0:47Speaker 1: Channel 7 20 years before that. I was on Channel 5,
- 0:51Speaker 1: and these days I'm on On New Jersey. I do
- 0:54Speaker 1: a morning talk show there. It's a broadcast. Well, not broadcast,
- 0:58Speaker 1: but it is a streaming TV channel. That is kind
- 1:01Speaker 1: of the new trend to be on a streaming channel.
- 1:04Speaker 1: They call them fast channels or streaming channels, and you
- 1:07Speaker 1: can catch us live weekdays. ONNJ.com if you want to
- 1:12Speaker 1: stream it from anywhere in America. Anyway, we've got a
- 1:14Speaker 1: lot to talk about today, and our phone lines are open.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Give us a call. We want you to take part
- 1:19Speaker 1: in the conversation. The number to call is always 800- 800-321-0710. 800-321-0710.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Listening to Curtis and Larry this morning coming in. I
- 1:31Speaker 1: love their show. Whenever I am off from my show,
- 1:33Speaker 1: I always listen to their morning show, and I love
- 1:35Speaker 1: them in the morning. And just hearing them talk about
- 1:40Speaker 1: President Trump not attending the 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground
- 1:44Speaker 1: Zero next month. I don't know about you. Did security
- 1:48Speaker 1: pop into anybody's mind? Right away, I'm thinking, what if
- 1:52Speaker 1: they got signed? I don't know anything here. I'm just
- 1:55Speaker 1: I'm talking with you like I'm just a fellow listener
- 1:59Speaker 1: because I listen to the Mark Simone show every single day.
- 2:02Speaker 1: So I'm just first thing that came to my mind is,
- 2:05Speaker 1: is the president not coming because maybe there was a
- 2:07Speaker 1: security issue? Again, I don't know. I'm throwing it out there.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Or at the very least, you have a million, two
- 2:14Speaker 1: million people packing into New York City. And it would,
- 2:18Speaker 1: at the very least, raise security issues, especially on the
- 2:22Speaker 1: 25th anniversary of this awful, awful event that is a
- 2:27Speaker 1: permanent mark on our history in the United States. The
- 2:33Speaker 1: worst attack on this country in its history, 9-11-01. And also,
- 2:39Speaker 1: I think the president probably wants not to be politically
- 2:44Speaker 1: polarizing when so many family members are going to be
- 2:47Speaker 1: here you'll have the vice president there. And you know
- 2:51Speaker 1: that the presidents traditionally, well, traditionally, the rule is no
- 2:54Speaker 1: politician speaks at this gathering at 9-11 in New York.
- 3:00Speaker 1: So he would just stand there and you don't really
- 3:02Speaker 1: know President Trump to show up someplace and not speak, right?
- 3:05Speaker 1: That's just not his style. So it makes sense. He's
- 3:07Speaker 1: been here before on 9-11, obviously, and presidents do rotate
- 3:11Speaker 1: to the different locations. There's the Pentagon also, and there's Pennsylvania.
- 3:16Speaker 1: So this year he will be at the Pentagon and
- 3:19Speaker 1: honor those who lost their lives at the Pentagon, while
- 3:23Speaker 1: the vice president, Vice President Vance, will be in the
- 3:26Speaker 1: lineup of politicians on 9-11 here in New York City.
- 3:30Speaker 1: But of course, it raised a lot of eyebrows and
- 3:32Speaker 1: the people on the left are trying to make something
- 3:34Speaker 1: of it that isn't necessarily there. And the president, I think,
- 3:39Speaker 1: you know, he's doing what is best. There's got to
- 3:41Speaker 1: be a reason. And we certainly don't know about it
- 3:43Speaker 1: and may never know about why the decision was made.
- 3:46Speaker 1: I did read that he's going to be headed off
- 3:48Speaker 1: to Ireland afterward. Maybe it's just an easier thing to do,
- 3:52Speaker 1: you know, in his next step, leaving or from Washington
- 3:57Speaker 1: to get to Ireland. I don't know. But that is
- 4:00Speaker 1: something that I'm sure will come out at maybe sometime
- 4:02Speaker 1: down the line in the next few years. But for now,
- 4:05Speaker 1: we just don't know. 800-321-0710. What do you think about it? 800-321-0710.
- 4:07Speaker 1: It's Ken Rosato in for the Mark Simone Show on
- 4:08Speaker 1: a Friday. uh... there's a journalist i follow on x
- 4:18Speaker 1: formerly twitter on did i gotta watch out saying that
- 4:21Speaker 1: did you hear by the way digression there is another
- 4:24Speaker 1: company that just bought the name twitter and they're going
- 4:26Speaker 1: to be starting a social media site called twitter that
- 4:29Speaker 1: it will have no connection at all to elon musk's
- 4:32Speaker 1: x so now all the members of the media who
- 4:36Speaker 1: use this to determine all of us who use the
- 4:38Speaker 1: term tweet and twitter and say i'm going to tweet
- 4:41Speaker 1: or should i say x Yeah, now you got to
- 4:43Speaker 1: say X because when you say Twitter or tweet, you
- 4:45Speaker 1: will be referring to a different company. So that's a
- 4:48Speaker 1: whole different thing. Now we have to, it's taken a
- 4:50Speaker 1: few years, right, to gradually learn X in the vernacular.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Now we just have to say X. Have we ever decided,
- 4:56Speaker 1: let me ask Izzy, we used to say we tweeted somebody,
- 5:01Speaker 1: but did we ever come up with a corresponding verb
- 5:04Speaker 1: when you send an X? No, right? We still say,
- 5:07Speaker 1: we still say tweet. Yeah, so I guess now we'd
- 5:11Speaker 1: say we X'd somebody. That almost sounds dirty. You know,
- 5:14Speaker 1: I X'd her. Really? What is that? Well, I sent
- 5:17Speaker 1: her a message on social media. What are you thinking,
- 5:19Speaker 1: dirty-minded individual? But yeah, so that's the deal. I don't
- 5:24Speaker 1: know when it takes place, but I thought that was
- 5:25Speaker 1: kind of interesting that another company– and why not? But
- 5:28Speaker 1: you would think that somebody like an Elon Musk who's
- 5:30Speaker 1: worth more than anyone else on Earth would have spent
- 5:34Speaker 1: the extra $ 200– To own the term Twitter or the
- 5:40Speaker 1: URL for Twitter, whatever, forever, just to prevent somebody else
- 5:43Speaker 1: from coming up like this and coming up with a
- 5:45Speaker 1: new site? I don't know. Just me. It's just the
- 5:48Speaker 1: way I think. Getting back to the story, I actually
- 5:50Speaker 1: digress there for two minutes. There is a journalist whom
- 5:54Speaker 1: I follow on X— I won't say formally, whatever— on X— His
- 6:00Speaker 1: name is Paul Sperry. If you don't follow him and
- 6:03Speaker 1: you're into politics that are slightly right of center, he's
- 6:06Speaker 1: a good guy to follow. He posted that the investigative
- 6:12Speaker 1: site Real Clear Investigations, which is a very accurate investigatory
- 6:18Speaker 1: group of journalists, they had analysis that found that Islamic
- 6:23Speaker 1: activists now hold at least 10 high-ranking positions at New
- 6:28Speaker 1: York City Hall, including several alum of the terror-tied Council
- 6:35Speaker 1: on American Islamic Relations, CARE, which has always been at
- 6:39Speaker 1: the forefront of whatever federal investigation, depending on who was
- 6:42Speaker 1: in office at the time. Anytime we have a right-leaning
- 6:45Speaker 1: politician in office, they keep an eye on CARE. The
- 6:49Speaker 1: FBI says CARE, C-A-I-R, is a front for Hamas. Now,
- 6:55Speaker 1: this report, again, this is a report by Real Clear Investigations.
- 7:01Speaker 1: The report goes on to say that some of the
- 7:04Speaker 1: new Muslim officials at City Hall in New York are
- 7:08Speaker 1: in a position to influence the city's anti-terror policies and
- 7:12Speaker 1: the selection of judges. So that makes you scratch your head.
- 7:17Speaker 1: I mean, look, if you are an Italian-American, go back
- 7:21Speaker 1: 50 years. Every time an Italian-American got elected into office,
- 7:25Speaker 1: everybody assumed they were connected to the mob. Oh, they
- 7:28Speaker 1: must be connected to the mob. Oh, he's Italian. Sinatra,
- 7:31Speaker 1: you must know the mob. Everybody must be the mob.
- 7:33Speaker 1: This is the mob, that. So I get it from
- 7:36Speaker 1: that perspective. I have an O at the end of
- 7:37Speaker 1: my name, and a lot of people, I'm sure, thought,
- 7:39Speaker 1: I wonder if he knows anyone on the mob. For
- 7:41Speaker 1: the record, I don't. Never have met anyone that I
- 7:44Speaker 1: know of who is connected. I'm sure there have been some.
- 7:46Speaker 1: I just don't know. And they were good enough not
- 7:49Speaker 1: to share that with me. But the point is, You know,
- 7:53Speaker 1: other groups have gotten that. OK, if you're Italian, you
- 7:56Speaker 1: must be connected to the mob. If the mayor is Muslim,
- 7:59Speaker 1: he must be connected to care or Hamas. Clearly, that's
- 8:03Speaker 1: not the case. Right. We don't want to paint with
- 8:05Speaker 1: that broad a brush. I'm telling you what this investigatory
- 8:09Speaker 1: agency that is pretty accurate with its investigations. They have
- 8:14Speaker 1: an analysis, again, that says 10, at least 10 high
- 8:18Speaker 1: ranking positions at New York City Hall are now held
- 8:21Speaker 1: by Islamic activists involved. including several alums, people who used
- 8:26Speaker 1: to actually work with CARE, which the FBI says is
- 8:29Speaker 1: a MAS front. And you could say, okay, so they
- 8:31Speaker 1: used to work with CARE. They don't work with them anymore.
- 8:33Speaker 1: You're right. So maybe there's absolutely nothing to it. But
- 8:36Speaker 1: do we want to look into this, especially when these
- 8:39Speaker 1: individuals are in a position to influence the city's anti-terror
- 8:43Speaker 1: policies and the selection of judges? I think it's worth
- 8:47Speaker 1: looking into. And if I were them, I would want
- 8:50Speaker 1: them to look into me, clear my name, Let me
- 8:53Speaker 1: prove to you that I have nothing to do with
- 8:54Speaker 1: anything nefarious. I work for City Hall. Leave me alone.
- 8:58Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. What do you have to
- 9:00Speaker 1: say about it? 800-321-0710. And how about this latest information
- 9:06Speaker 1: about Mayor Mamdani's brilliant city-owned supermarket idea? Well, first, the
- 9:10Speaker 1: mayor said the markets were going to cost about $ 20 million, right?
- 9:13Speaker 1: Then it was going to be about $ 70 million. Well,
- 9:17Speaker 1: now the Republican candidate for New York State Comptroller, Says,
- 9:21Speaker 1: nice try, Zoran. Break out the calculator. This individual says
- 9:25Speaker 1: the supermarket plan will actually cost the city closer to
- 9:30Speaker 1: $ 300 million in the first few years, a third of
- 9:35Speaker 1: a billion dollars. He breaks it down as about $ 70
- 9:39Speaker 1: million for construction costs, $ 106 million in operating costs, 30
- 9:44Speaker 1: million in lost revenue from nearby bodegas and grocery stores
- 9:48Speaker 1: all over the next few years. The mayor is saying
- 9:50Speaker 1: that each market is going to cost roughly 30 million
- 9:53Speaker 1: to build. Now, I've heard Mark talk about this over
- 9:57Speaker 1: and over again. Mark knows several people. who are very
- 10:00Speaker 1: big in the supermarket industry. Many of you probably know
- 10:03Speaker 1: to whom I am referring. He has a Greek name
- 10:06Speaker 1: in New York city. And that individual has talked about, uh,
- 10:09Speaker 1: Izzy is smiling at me right now. You used to
- 10:11Speaker 1: work for that individual, didn't you Izzy? Um, And many
- 10:15Speaker 1: people know who I'm talking about, but this individual is
- 10:18Speaker 1: the biggest supermarket owner in New York City. And he
- 10:20Speaker 1: has said that you could build your own supermarket for
- 10:23Speaker 1: between $ 150, 000 and $ 750, 000. If you bought an existing supermarket
- 10:29Speaker 1: with a cash flow, it would cost, depending on the
- 10:32Speaker 1: cash flow, depending on how much profit it's generating, usually
- 10:35Speaker 1: anywhere from $ 1. 5 to $ 3 million. So why is the
- 10:40Speaker 1: mayor saying, well, we need $ 30 million? Or $ 20 million.
- 10:43Speaker 1: He's saying $ 20 million to open a supermarket. When the
- 10:47Speaker 1: biggest supermarket moguls in New York City are saying no,
- 10:51Speaker 1: even if you bought a supermarket that was in a
- 10:54Speaker 1: prime location generating a cash flow, minus the stock, of course.
- 10:59Speaker 1: I'm talking about the building in a great location that
- 11:03Speaker 1: has a name. You're talking about $ 1. 5 to $ 3 million.
- 11:08Speaker 1: So where does the mayor come up with $ 20 million?
- 11:10Speaker 1: I'll tell you where the mayor comes up with $ 20 million.
- 11:11Speaker 1: He's never owned anything in his whole life. He's never
- 11:14Speaker 1: been a business person his whole life. Mommy and Daddy
- 11:16Speaker 1: were worth hundreds of millions of dollars and kind of
- 11:18Speaker 1: gave him whatever he wanted. He doesn't have a clue.
- 11:21Speaker 1: He talks with his college-educated, far-left-wing friends, and this is
- 11:25Speaker 1: what they come up with. They're like, well, we're going
- 11:26Speaker 1: to need $ 20 million. Nice when you're dealing with other
- 11:29Speaker 1: people's money. Nice when you talk about people who have
- 11:32Speaker 1: a pied-à-terre and you want to charge them a fortune
- 11:34Speaker 1: in taxes. Nice if you want to charge every millionaire
- 11:38Speaker 1: in New York City. There are thousands and thousands of them,
- 11:40Speaker 1: by the way, because your properties probably were purchased at
- 11:44Speaker 1: $ 100, 000 and 20 years later are worth a million. That's
- 11:47Speaker 1: just the way it goes. And then everybody's going to
- 11:49Speaker 1: be paying these taxes and the mayor's going to take
- 11:51Speaker 1: your money and spend way more than necessary to build
- 11:55Speaker 1: a supermarket. in order to give things away or charge
- 12:00Speaker 1: pennies on the dollar for them, which really isn't the
- 12:03Speaker 1: case because, again, it's going to be your tax dollars
- 12:06Speaker 1: that he's going to be using to give away things
- 12:09Speaker 1: at 30 cents on the dollar. That's the way it
- 12:11Speaker 1: works with socialists. They win over votes that way, make
- 12:14Speaker 1: people happy, get the great unwashed to say, oh, look
- 12:18Speaker 1: at the mayor. He cares about us. So he's going
- 12:21Speaker 1: to take money. It's like Robin Hood. Rob from the
- 12:23Speaker 1: rich and give to the poor, right? Only the rich
- 12:25Speaker 1: aren't that rich. The rich are like middle class in
- 12:28Speaker 1: New York. A million dollar, if you own a million
- 12:30Speaker 1: dollar apartment in New York, I know anywhere else on
- 12:32Speaker 1: the planet, you would be super uber wealthy. In New
- 12:36Speaker 1: York City, you're like, yeah, middle upper middle. That's the reality.
- 12:40Speaker 1: I don't have a place in New York City because
- 12:41Speaker 1: I can't afford it. I live in Jersey. In fact,
- 12:43Speaker 1: I even just moved further south in Jersey to get
- 12:46Speaker 1: more place. Because if you want more place, you got
- 12:48Speaker 1: to move further out of the cities. You got to
- 12:51Speaker 1: move further away from Philadelphia or farther away. Excuse me.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Thinking back to my English class in high school. further
- 12:56Speaker 1: farther farther is distance further is like on paper okay
- 13:01Speaker 1: sorry digress um i had to move farther away from
- 13:05Speaker 1: new york city to get more of a place right
- 13:07Speaker 1: for the money i did get a nice place but
- 13:09Speaker 1: it's an hour and a half away but that's the
- 13:12Speaker 1: reality that's what you got to do if you want
- 13:13Speaker 1: to live in new york city you got to pay
- 13:15Speaker 1: so the question is at what point are we charging
- 13:19Speaker 1: too much you know people like sean hannity have questioned
- 13:22Speaker 1: socialist types on his show and and both radio and
- 13:25Speaker 1: tv and asked How much is too much? When you
- 13:28Speaker 1: keep saying the rich aren't paying their fair share, how
- 13:31Speaker 1: much is their fair share? 70%? Is 90% their fair share?
- 13:37Speaker 1: At what point? Well, Ken, who needs a billion dollars?
- 13:40Speaker 1: Who the hell are you to say they don't? You
- 13:44Speaker 1: don't know what they have in mind. They could take
- 13:46Speaker 1: that billion and they could build a company that has
- 13:49Speaker 1: 500 locations that employs 50,000 people. You don't know. And
- 13:53Speaker 1: it's none of your freaking business what they do with
- 13:56Speaker 1: their billion dollars, quite honestly. I don't have that kind
- 13:58Speaker 1: of money. But I applaud somebody who figures out a
- 14:01Speaker 1: way to honestly earn that. And yes, you can honestly
- 14:05Speaker 1: earn that based on the way the system is set
- 14:07Speaker 1: up legally and legitimately. So please stop the jealousy because
- 14:13Speaker 1: that's what socialists do. They use jealousy in order to
- 14:17Speaker 1: make you despise somebody who has earned their lot in life.
- 14:21Speaker 1: and make it look like they got it with uh...
- 14:24Speaker 1: ill-gotten goods that they shouldn't have that money it was
- 14:27Speaker 1: passed on from their daddy and mommy and that's not
- 14:29Speaker 1: fair or they stole it in business and they you
- 14:33Speaker 1: know kiss somebody's butt and got some kind of a
- 14:36Speaker 1: backdoor deal you know does that happen sure does it
- 14:40Speaker 1: happen all the time every time no it doesn't it
- 14:44Speaker 1: does happen sometimes so you know what build a better
- 14:48Speaker 1: build a better uh... birdhouse or a dog house come
- 14:51Speaker 1: up with something better come up with a better idea
- 14:54Speaker 1: look at how many millionaires and billionaires today did exactly
- 14:57Speaker 1: that it can be done so here's a big question
- 15:00Speaker 1: why is mom donnie wanting to build this network of
- 15:04Speaker 1: one two three four five you know one per borough
- 15:08Speaker 1: supermarkets when there are already fifty seven hundred supermarkets throughout
- 15:14Speaker 1: new york city why not Give people, you know, you
- 15:19Speaker 1: could go online and create an app using AI right now.
- 15:23Speaker 1: It would take about a minute. I've done it. You
- 15:26Speaker 1: literally go to these sites. There are about 20 sites
- 15:28Speaker 1: now that have AI and you could literally type in
- 15:32Speaker 1: the details of what you want in an app. I
- 15:35Speaker 1: want an app that takes somebody's picture and gives them
- 15:39Speaker 1: blonde hair and blue eyes, full lips and a sexy body, whatever.
- 15:44Speaker 1: I'm just making that up. And you give the AI
- 15:47Speaker 1: 10 pictures and it will create 10 versions of those images.
- 15:52Speaker 1: You could do anything like that with AI today. And
- 15:55Speaker 1: it does it within seconds. So why not create a
- 16:00Speaker 1: city app that would cost you nothing to create? Make
- 16:04Speaker 1: it downloadable to people who qualify financially or to anyone.
- 16:08Speaker 1: The mayor is saying he doesn't want to make it
- 16:10Speaker 1: just for people who can't afford certain groceries. Let anyone
- 16:13Speaker 1: who wants... These groceries have them. And by the way,
- 16:16Speaker 1: the mayor has changed his tune like that because he
- 16:18Speaker 1: wants to put grocers out of business. He's now saying
- 16:22Speaker 1: that he wants anyone to be able to afford 30%
- 16:26Speaker 1: off this and 30% off that. Anyone. Well, that sounds
- 16:30Speaker 1: really good. Again, what's the difference between 30% off and free?
- 16:34Speaker 1: It's just one notch away. Somebody's paying. You're taking city
- 16:39Speaker 1: tax dollars that you're taking from people. You're stealing from people.
- 16:43Speaker 1: You're ordering at the end of a gun because otherwise
- 16:46Speaker 1: you'll confiscate their properties, their goods, their money in their
- 16:49Speaker 1: bank account, etc. So you say you must pay this
- 16:52Speaker 1: money and then you take that money and you give
- 16:54Speaker 1: it to somebody else. For what purpose? And the other
- 16:56Speaker 1: person you're giving it to, you're saying doesn't have to
- 16:58Speaker 1: qualify financially. So you're just taking it from person A
- 17:01Speaker 1: and giving it to person B willy-nilly whom you decide
- 17:04Speaker 1: to give it to. Well, that's called theft. If we
- 17:07Speaker 1: did that in real life outside of City Hall, you'd
- 17:10Speaker 1: go to jail. But digress again if the mayor wants
- 17:15Speaker 1: to do this why not create an app and on
- 17:19Speaker 1: the app create a coupon a little barcode and anybody
- 17:23Speaker 1: who wants to get the 30% off milk eggs butter
- 17:27Speaker 1: bread all the basic staples they have that app right
- 17:31Speaker 1: with the barcode you go to any supermarket in the
- 17:34Speaker 1: city or any bodega you buy your eggs bread cheese
- 17:38Speaker 1: whatever You come up to the counter, and then when
- 17:41Speaker 1: you're checking out, you just scan it like you would
- 17:43Speaker 1: scan any other coupon. The guy behind you in line
- 17:45Speaker 1: doesn't know that that's not a regular coupon. You're not
- 17:48Speaker 1: embarrassed that way. You get your 30% off or whatever,
- 17:52Speaker 1: however much you want to give, and boom, you're on
- 17:54Speaker 1: your way. Now, somebody who's poor doesn't have to take
- 17:58Speaker 1: three subways to get to the Mamdani market and wait
- 18:01Speaker 1: in a two-hour line like you're in a bread line
- 18:03Speaker 1: in the former Soviet Union. You can go to any marketplace.
- 18:07Speaker 1: The local market owner still has you coming in and shopping,
- 18:10Speaker 1: making money. Am I, Izzy, am I the only one
- 18:13Speaker 1: who's thought of this? And he's saying, maybe. Everybody's happy.
- 18:19Speaker 1: But no, you know what the mayor says? He doesn't
- 18:21Speaker 1: want to do this because he wants to create the competition.
- 18:24Speaker 1: He wants to put an artificially propped up market in
- 18:28Speaker 1: an area where there are other markets to force the
- 18:32Speaker 1: other markets to lower their profits. Well, guess what? They're
- 18:34Speaker 1: only making 3% profit already. You can't lower it 30%.
- 18:37Speaker 1: They'd go out of business. The only reason the city
- 18:40Speaker 1: can afford to lower it that much is they're doing
- 18:42Speaker 1: it with your tax dollars. So he's using your tax
- 18:46Speaker 1: dollars to put legitimate taxpaying business owners out of business.
- 18:50Speaker 1: That's the craziness. But then on the other side, he
- 18:52Speaker 1: says he needs to build the markets because of food deserts.
- 18:56Speaker 1: He needs to build the markets because there aren't supermarkets
- 18:59Speaker 1: in certain areas. Well, which is it, Mayor? Is it
- 19:02Speaker 1: that there are food deserts and that's why you need
- 19:04Speaker 1: to build these markets? Or there are plenty of markets
- 19:07Speaker 1: and you want to force them to lower their costs?
- 19:09Speaker 1: Can't have it both ways. We're going to be talking
- 19:11Speaker 1: with somebody, by the way, later on in the broadcast
- 19:14Speaker 1: who's going to be talking about what this does to
- 19:16Speaker 1: business and also what rent control does to the housing
- 19:20Speaker 1: market in New York. That's coming up in our next hour. 800-321-0710.
- 19:25Speaker 1: You're listening to 710WOR, The Voice of New York. Ken
- 19:28Speaker 1: Rosato in for Mark Simone on a Friday. And we're
- 19:31Speaker 1: going to come back and take your phone calls in
- 19:33Speaker 1: just a few minutes. First, a little more dialogue or
- 19:36Speaker 1: monologue and then dialogue in just five minutes here on WOR.
