Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Now the Mark Simone Show on seven ten woor filling
- 0:05Speaker 1: in for Mark, here's Ken Rosato.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Very good to be with you on a Thursday. We
- 0:10Speaker 2: like to call it Friday Eve. Yes, enjoy. I feel
- 0:13Speaker 2: a holiday vibe going on. It is so beautiful out
- 0:16Speaker 2: if you are looking out from an air conditioned window.
- 0:19Speaker 2: If you have to be outside, I feel for you.
- 0:22Speaker 3: Trust me.
- 0:23Speaker 2: We have to hope that our police and fire and
- 0:26Speaker 2: all our rescue people and the construction workers and everybody
- 0:29Speaker 2: who has to work outside please give them bottles of
- 0:33Speaker 2: ice cold water. And if you are working outside, remember
- 0:37Speaker 2: to shade yourself a little bit, get a couple of
- 0:39Speaker 2: breaks an hour if you can, because this is dangerously
- 0:42Speaker 2: oppressively hot heat. Also, I don't know about you if
- 0:45Speaker 2: you have elderly in your lives. My parents are eighty
- 0:49Speaker 2: eight and ninety five. God bless them, very lucky to
- 0:51Speaker 2: have them. But I noticed it like elderly people never
- 0:55Speaker 2: feel like it's hot. It could be one hundred and
- 0:59Speaker 2: twenty degrees out. I go, oh, it's comfortable, No, it's not.
- 1:02Speaker 2: The thing is not only do they not feel hot,
- 1:05Speaker 2: but the heat can be working on them and making
- 1:07Speaker 2: them ill, and they don't know it until it's too late,
- 1:09Speaker 2: So make sure to check in on elderly, make sure
- 1:12Speaker 2: that they have air conditioning or at least they have
- 1:14Speaker 2: a cool place to go, and that they are hydrating.
- 1:17Speaker 2: The elderly ten not to drink water. So sorry to
- 1:20Speaker 2: go off on a tangent like this, but it's just
- 1:22Speaker 2: so important. This is when people get sick and die
- 1:25Speaker 2: in this kind of oppressive heat. More people die from
- 1:27Speaker 2: the extreme heath than from the extreme cold, so it's
- 1:30Speaker 2: really important to take care of them, all right, all right,
- 1:32Speaker 2: that done? Ken Rozatto in for the great Mark Simone.
- 1:36Speaker 2: Mark has a couple of days off and it's an
- 1:38Speaker 2: honor and a pleasure to be here for him. You
- 1:40Speaker 2: may remember me from twenty years anchoring the morning and
- 1:43Speaker 2: noon show over at Channel seven here in New York.
- 1:45Speaker 2: I was on Channel five good day before that, and
- 1:48Speaker 2: these days I'm on on New Jersey. That's a New
- 1:50Speaker 2: Jersey TV channel. Anywhere in the country. You could stream
- 1:54Speaker 2: it ATNNJ dot COMNENJ dot com you could. You know,
- 1:59Speaker 2: the older folks are saying, what do you mean stream?
- 2:01Speaker 2: What channel is it on? Unfortunately, folks, sorry, today it's
- 2:05Speaker 2: moving toward towards streaming. Everything is streaming, So ask your kids,
- 2:09Speaker 2: they'll tell you what streaming is. But good to be
- 2:11Speaker 2: here with you. A lot to talk about. Phone lines
- 2:14Speaker 2: are open. We'd love for you to give us a
- 2:15Speaker 2: call and take part in the conversation. It's eight hundred
- 2:18Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten. Eight hundred three two
- 2:23Speaker 2: one zero seven ten. Well, as we mentioned, we are
- 2:26Speaker 2: in the middle of a heat wave. A lot of
- 2:28Speaker 2: the tri State's going to see about ninety eight degrees today,
- 2:31Speaker 2: A few spots will break one hundred. Race Stagic was
- 2:33Speaker 2: talking about this earlier with Larry and I Curtis, excuse me,
- 2:39Speaker 2: and I just heard him say when he was talking
- 2:42Speaker 2: about areas feeling like one hundred and ten, I cringed.
- 2:47Speaker 2: And when I think of that with the high humidity,
- 2:49Speaker 2: and again people who don't have a cold, air conditioned
- 2:52Speaker 2: home to escape to, it makes me kind of sick inside.
- 2:56Speaker 2: By the way, when we have days like this, I
- 2:59Speaker 2: want to be able to who look at my friends
- 3:01Speaker 2: who like to say, how could you live part time
- 3:03Speaker 2: in Florida? It's so hot and humid down there?
- 3:06Speaker 4: All right?
- 3:06Speaker 2: Just to give you a little contrast in Fort Lauderdale today,
- 3:10Speaker 2: you know what the high temperature is going to be
- 3:12Speaker 2: eighty six. Miami Beach, you know what, the high temperature
- 3:16Speaker 2: is going to be eighty five, all right, and the
- 3:19Speaker 2: humidity levels there are actually going to be lower than
- 3:22Speaker 2: in the New York tri State. So yes, do they
- 3:26Speaker 2: have more days per year in the eighties and nineties
- 3:30Speaker 2: in South Florida than we do in the northeast, certainly,
- 3:33Speaker 2: But it actually gets hotter in New York than it
- 3:36Speaker 2: does in South Florida because in South Florida when it
- 3:39Speaker 2: gets to be ninety five ninety six, they get thunderstorms
- 3:42Speaker 2: to cool things down. Do you know what the hottest temperature?
- 3:44Speaker 2: I'll ask, is he our producer? Is he is? He's
- 3:47Speaker 2: our engineer? Actually, I'm sorry, Chris is our producer? Is he?
- 3:50Speaker 2: What is the hottest temperature that we've ever had in
- 3:53Speaker 2: South Florida? Do you do you know what the hottest
- 3:55Speaker 2: temperature is? He says one point fifteen?
- 3:58Speaker 4: All right.
- 3:58Speaker 2: That's what a lot of people would think, because you
- 3:59Speaker 2: have a team called the Miami Heat right, No. Ninety nine,
- 4:04Speaker 2: And yet the hottest temperature in New York City is
- 4:07Speaker 2: one hundred and six and in Newark is one hundred
- 4:09Speaker 2: and eight. So it's actually been hotter here than in
- 4:12Speaker 2: South Florida or even Orlando, where the high was one
- 4:14Speaker 2: hundred and three. So once again to all my friends
- 4:17Speaker 2: who say, ah, I could never live in Florida. It's
- 4:19Speaker 2: so hot and humid in the summer. How could you
- 4:21Speaker 2: deal with it? Well, go outside right now, you see
- 4:23Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. Right here we get hotter days,
- 4:26Speaker 2: although not as many of them, but we get hotter
- 4:29Speaker 2: days in New York, in New Jersey and Connecticut than
- 4:31Speaker 2: they do in Florida. Seven ten w R the Voice
- 4:34Speaker 2: of New York. It's Ken Rosatto and for Mark on
- 4:36Speaker 2: your Thursday World Cup Soccer action. In the round of
- 4:40Speaker 2: thirty two, Team USA yay beat Bossia Herzegovina two nothing
- 4:44Speaker 2: last night. So for the first time since the nineties,
- 4:48Speaker 2: Team USA will advance to the round of sixteen, and
- 4:52Speaker 2: then they go to the round of eight. In the
- 4:53Speaker 2: round four and then then it's the finals. So keep
- 4:57Speaker 2: your fingers crossed, say a prayer. I mean, I know
- 4:59Speaker 2: so many people who said they would never make it
- 5:01Speaker 2: to the round of thirty two, and now they're saying, well,
- 5:04Speaker 2: don't get your hopes up, Ken. They made it to
- 5:06Speaker 2: the round of thirty two. But there's no way after
- 5:09Speaker 2: or rather they made it to the round of sixteen,
- 5:11Speaker 2: there's no way they're going to make it beyond that.
- 5:12Speaker 2: We'll see, you know, always keep hope, keep hope alive,
- 5:16Speaker 2: as the late great Jesse Jackson used to say, keep
- 5:19Speaker 2: hope alive, and hope for Team USA, and hope that
- 5:23Speaker 2: a miracle happens. One of the promos for Soccer World
- 5:26Speaker 2: Cup Soccer has one of the hockey players from the
- 5:29Speaker 2: Olympics in nineteen eight, Remember the big Olympic hockey team
- 5:32Speaker 2: that everyone said could not possibly win the Olympics. He's
- 5:36Speaker 2: standing there with a was it dream or something like
- 5:40Speaker 2: that on his T shirt talking about the soccer team.
- 5:42Speaker 2: So you never know, we'll see what happens again. Seven
- 5:45Speaker 2: to ten WR The Voice of New York. How about
- 5:49Speaker 2: that crazy couple that got engaged on top of the
- 5:51Speaker 2: Empire State Building yesterday? So we heard Daria albing. You're
- 5:55Speaker 2: talking about it, and again Larry and Curtis were talking
- 5:57Speaker 2: about it this morning. Apparently it's not the first time
- 6:00Speaker 2: that they have scaled buildings. And these folks are Russian,
- 6:03Speaker 2: but they live in East Orange, New Jersey. I don't know.
- 6:05Speaker 2: I never associate East Orange with a big Russian community
- 6:08Speaker 2: somehow maybe who knows whatever. But their names are Angela
- 6:12Speaker 2: Nicolau and Ivan Birkis. Kud's nets kud. Let me get
- 6:17Speaker 2: this right, Kud's nets off. And by the way, they're
- 6:20Speaker 2: good looking couple. I mean, he's very handsome and she
- 6:23Speaker 2: is hot. But what drove me in, said, right, is
- 6:27Speaker 2: he's going, yeah, she's hot. What was crazy is that
- 6:32Speaker 2: not only were they not harnessed. Do you realize that
- 6:35Speaker 2: that they were on top of fifteen hundred feet of
- 6:37Speaker 2: Empire State Building with no harness, no tether, nothing. They
- 6:42Speaker 2: didn't have suction cups, they didn't have anything to grip
- 6:46Speaker 2: except I think they had gloves that they took off
- 6:48Speaker 2: at one point. How on earth do you do that?
- 6:51Speaker 2: The building temperature alone must have been one hundred and
- 6:54Speaker 2: twenty degrees in that baking heat that sun, and then
- 6:57Speaker 2: to climb to the top. And I heard Curtis to
- 7:00Speaker 2: talking about this a little earlier, and I was in
- 7:01Speaker 2: my car coming in applauding him. He was talking about
- 7:06Speaker 2: the RF radiation and let me explain what that is
- 7:09Speaker 2: off of the big Master FM antenna on the spire
- 7:14Speaker 2: of the Empire State Building, So AM antennas are mostly
- 7:18Speaker 2: New Jersey and in the Bronx that's where all the
- 7:21Speaker 2: AM radio antennas are located. The FM radio antennas and
- 7:24Speaker 2: the TV antennas are for the most part on top
- 7:28Speaker 2: of the Empire State Building. There are a few TV
- 7:30Speaker 2: stations down at the New World Trade Center, but the rest,
- 7:33Speaker 2: all the fms and the TVs are on top of
- 7:37Speaker 2: the Empire. Okay, that's about two hundred to two hundred
- 7:41Speaker 2: and fifty thousand watts of radiation. And they'll say, you know,
- 7:46Speaker 2: engineers will say it's non ionizing radiation.
- 7:48Speaker 1: No.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Well, even non ionizing means it doesn't cause a permanent
- 7:53Speaker 2: change to your cell structure. But it's dangerous. It's like
- 7:56Speaker 2: basically sitting in a microwave oven when you're within a
- 7:59Speaker 2: few feet of it for a while. Okay, and these
- 8:01Speaker 2: folks were up there thirty forty five minutes. They could
- 8:05Speaker 2: have fallen. The heat could have gotten them the just
- 8:10Speaker 2: you know, up at that height, the building actually sways
- 8:13Speaker 2: a few feet in each direction. They could have lost
- 8:15Speaker 2: their balance, and then of course the radiation. If they
- 8:18Speaker 2: are not sick today, and I hope they never get sick.
- 8:21Speaker 2: But my gut tells me in the next few weeks
- 8:24Speaker 2: they're going to get sick, because there's no way you
- 8:26Speaker 2: could be Any radio engineer will tell you there is
- 8:29Speaker 2: no way you could be next to all that radiation
- 8:32Speaker 2: for that amount of time and not have some kind
- 8:35Speaker 2: of permanent damage to your organs or whatever. If nothing happens,
- 8:38Speaker 2: I will be shocked. They'll have to analyze this as
- 8:41Speaker 2: a case study in the future. But I hope for
- 8:45Speaker 2: the best for them. But that's nothing you want to do.
- 8:47Speaker 2: If you know where there's a radio tower, stay away,
- 8:50Speaker 2: all right. The only time engineers who do this for
- 8:53Speaker 2: a living go near them is when they turn the
- 8:55Speaker 2: transmitter off and they turn on the backup transmitter somewhere else.
- 8:58Speaker 2: They won't. They're not crazy. They're not going to touch
- 9:00Speaker 2: those towers, are going near those master a tennis. It's
- 9:03Speaker 2: just nothing you should be doing, all right. Seven to
- 9:05Speaker 2: ten WR the Voice of New York Caroztto in for
- 9:09Speaker 2: Mark the Great Mark Simone taking a nice long weekend.
- 9:12Speaker 2: New York and New Jersey finally have budgets for both
- 9:16Speaker 2: states and cities. The city of New York at least,
- 9:19Speaker 2: so get this in New Jersey. The new spending plan
- 9:22Speaker 2: is sixty one billion dollars for nine point five million
- 9:26Speaker 2: people New York City. The twenty twenty seven spending plan
- 9:30Speaker 2: is one hundred and twenty six I'm sorry, sorry, the
- 9:33Speaker 2: twenty seven spending plans on one hundred twenty six billion.
- 9:36Speaker 2: I got it right. Meanwhile, the entire state of Florida,
- 9:40Speaker 2: which has nearly three times the population of the City
- 9:44Speaker 2: of New York. Listen to this. You know what, the
- 9:46Speaker 2: spending plan for the state of Florida is one hundred
- 9:49Speaker 2: and eighteen billion. So how does the state of Florida,
- 9:52Speaker 2: which has all new infrastructure, schools that have been totally
- 9:56Speaker 2: revapped top to bottom, and an influx of people to
- 10:00Speaker 2: the tune of ten thousand a day. They have almost what,
- 10:05Speaker 2: twenty four million residents right now and it's growing every day.
- 10:08Speaker 2: New York City has eight point five million, and with
- 10:11Speaker 2: twenty four million people in the state of Florida, their
- 10:13Speaker 2: budget is one hundred and eighteen billion. In New York
- 10:16Speaker 2: Cities is one hundred and twenty six billion. Somebody tell
- 10:19Speaker 2: me why. Somebody tell me how the state of Florida,
- 10:23Speaker 2: and believe me, it used to be the joke was
- 10:26Speaker 2: they pay you in sunshine. In Florida, they paid a
- 10:28Speaker 2: lot less today. Police get paid very well in Florida.
- 10:32Speaker 2: That's why they're losing a lot of NYPD to Florida
- 10:34Speaker 2: police departments. You have the infrastructure, for sure, better roads,
- 10:38Speaker 2: and the schools used to be weak. Now the schools
- 10:40Speaker 2: are really good in Florida. So how is it possible
- 10:44Speaker 2: if not for fiscal mismanagement and leftism? The only real difference.
- 10:48Speaker 2: State of Florida is entirely Republican run top to bottom,
- 10:52Speaker 2: and the state of New York is entirely Democrat run
- 10:54Speaker 2: top to bottom. There is no other difference. So you
- 10:56Speaker 2: tell me, Okay, how does it happen? Wr the Voice
- 11:01Speaker 2: of a New York Give us a call eight hundred
- 11:02Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten. Eight hundred three two
- 11:05Speaker 2: one zero seven ten. We want to know what you
- 11:07Speaker 2: have to say about it. And then have you heard
- 11:09Speaker 2: about Senator Mitch McConnell. We find out yesterday that he
- 11:13Speaker 2: was discovered unconscious inside his home, and we wish him well,
- 11:17Speaker 2: we hope he's doing okay. But he was found two
- 11:20Speaker 2: and a half weeks ago. After some speculator he may
- 11:24Speaker 2: have had a heart attack. Now, why are we only
- 11:27Speaker 2: finding out now that he was unconscious in his home
- 11:31Speaker 2: two and a half weeks ago. I think I have
- 11:33Speaker 2: an idea I'll share with you in a moment. But
- 11:35Speaker 2: it's a little unnerving to think that a United States
- 11:38Speaker 2: Senator could have that happen, and we don't hear a
- 11:41Speaker 2: word for eighteen days now. His current term doesn't end
- 11:45Speaker 2: until January of twenty seven. Why doesn't he just retire? Well?
- 11:49Speaker 2: Part of the problem is the current governor of Kentucky,
- 11:53Speaker 2: where Mitch McConnell is a Senator. The current governor of
- 11:56Speaker 2: Kentucky is Andy Basheer. He is a Democrat. The constitution,
- 12:01Speaker 2: the governor of the state can appoint a replacement senator
- 12:06Speaker 2: if the senator leaves office early. So that means that
- 12:10Speaker 2: Governor Basheer could technically replace McConnell if McConnell were to
- 12:15Speaker 2: step down with a Democrat. And so there's probably a
- 12:19Speaker 2: lot of pressure coming from the Senate, the Senate Republicans
- 12:22Speaker 2: to just keep keep things under wraps. We don't want
- 12:25Speaker 2: folks to know how sick he might be. Again, we
- 12:28Speaker 2: hope he is well, and if he's recovering, we hope
- 12:30Speaker 2: he recovers quickly Mitch McConnell. But with the margin being
- 12:34Speaker 2: fifty three forty seven Republican, a Democrat, and the Senate,
- 12:38Speaker 2: they can't really afford to lose one or two people.
- 12:41Speaker 2: So until we hear otherwise, it is sort of a
- 12:43Speaker 2: weekend at Bernie's with Senator McConnell in Kentucky. But we
- 12:49Speaker 2: just hope he gets back and gets better soon. But
- 12:51Speaker 2: the man has had those episodes in public where he
- 12:53Speaker 2: just stares off into the wilderness and doesn't know what's
- 12:56Speaker 2: going on. And I think, you know, there may just
- 12:59Speaker 2: be time for the man to retire with dignity, think
- 13:01Speaker 2: about his health and his family. He did a lot
- 13:04Speaker 2: of great things over his years. I know there are
- 13:05Speaker 2: a lot of things he's for those who love Trump.
- 13:08Speaker 2: He is very anti Trump, but there are a lot
- 13:10Speaker 2: of the old school Republicans who are so Again, we
- 13:14Speaker 2: just wish him well and hope he does well. All right,
- 13:16Speaker 2: and gas prices in the US continue to drop. The
- 13:19Speaker 2: national average price for gallon of gases already down to
- 13:23Speaker 2: three eighty five a gallon, with things appearing to cool
- 13:25Speaker 2: down in the straight of horor moves. It's still up
- 13:28Speaker 2: from three eighteen a year ago, but the price is
- 13:31Speaker 2: falling each week at the rate that it's currently falling,
- 13:34Speaker 2: by the end of August beginning September, we should be
- 13:37Speaker 2: down to where we were a year ago, just in
- 13:39Speaker 2: time for the midterm elections. Imagine spending three eighteen gallon
- 13:43Speaker 2: for gas, and remember the impact that we'll have. Every
- 13:47Speaker 2: item that you buy is transported by vehicle that uses gas.
- 13:52Speaker 2: So all the groceries you buy, the clothing you buy,
- 13:55Speaker 2: everything will go down in price. You know, the half
- 13:59Speaker 2: the clothes you are made from polyestered. You know that
- 14:02Speaker 2: polyester is made from fossil fuel. It's made from oil.
- 14:06Speaker 2: So as oil prices continue to drop, that means polyester
- 14:09Speaker 2: prices go down, et cetera. So everything goes down in price.
- 14:12Speaker 2: And then of course the gust of gas, which is
- 14:14Speaker 2: one of the biggest week to week expenses you have
- 14:17Speaker 2: outside of groceries, is gasoline for your vehicle. So that'll
- 14:21Speaker 2: all go down. That's a good thing. And hopefully eventually
- 14:25Speaker 2: flight prices will come down to airline prices. Now that
- 14:29Speaker 2: Spirit used to be a big supplier of low cost
- 14:32Speaker 2: tickets to the tri State. Now that Spirit is out
- 14:34Speaker 2: of the picture, I noticed a lot of the airline
- 14:37Speaker 2: prices have shot up, and that's going to be the
- 14:40Speaker 2: case for quite some time, especially while fuel prices are
- 14:42Speaker 2: still high. So we'll keep our fingers crossed and hope
- 14:44Speaker 2: that that comes down to all right, seven to ten,
- 14:46Speaker 2: WO are the Voice of New York. It's Ken Risotto
- 14:48Speaker 2: in for Mark. We'll take those calls at eight hundred
- 14:50Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten. Eight hundred three to
- 14:54Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten. Those calls are coming up next. Sunny, hot,
- 14:58Speaker 2: humid today as the heat wave continues, highs upper nineties
- 15:01Speaker 2: humidities making you feel a lot hotter than that. And
- 15:04Speaker 2: a little later we'll speak with a woman from the
- 15:06Speaker 2: Independent Council on Women's Sports regarding the Supreme Court decision
- 15:10Speaker 2: this week to allow states to ban biological males from
- 15:12Speaker 2: competing in female sports. But again, your calls are next
- 15:15Speaker 2: eight hundred and three to two one zero seven ten.
- 15:18Speaker 2: It is ten twenty one seven to ten wor We're
- 15:20Speaker 2: coming right back.
- 15:21Speaker 1: No Mark Simone Show Live from the WR Life Back Studios.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Guest hosting from Mark Today, Here's Ken Rosato and.
- 15:31Speaker 2: So nice to be with you. Let's get right to
- 15:33Speaker 2: our busy phones. Richard and Bai Shore good morning to you.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Thanks for calling into the Mark Simone Show.
- 15:38Speaker 5: Hey, thank you, Ken, Thank you for taking us place today.
- 15:40Speaker 5: Do you know how the average guest price is weighted?
- 15:44Speaker 5: Is it just the under of states divided by fifty
- 15:47Speaker 5: or is it waited by population or a number of vehicles?
- 15:50Speaker 2: That's a very good question.
- 15:51Speaker 5: Delaware have the same effect as California.
- 15:54Speaker 2: Or great question. That's a very valid question because now,
- 15:57Speaker 2: so these numbers come from Triple A, and there are
- 15:59Speaker 2: several different organizations that come up with the numbers, but
- 16:02Speaker 2: they're all generally within a few cents of each other.
- 16:05Speaker 2: So I think, no matter. But I get what your
- 16:07Speaker 2: point is. If there are thirty five million people in
- 16:09Speaker 2: California and the cost in California is six dollars a gallon,
- 16:12Speaker 2: and then in wherever Texas it's three dollars a gallon,
- 16:15Speaker 2: and then you get a state like Delaware, does everyone
- 16:17Speaker 2: get an equal count there? That makes a lot of sense.
- 16:20Speaker 2: I don't know the answer, but I will find out
- 16:21Speaker 2: for you. I'll find out before the end of the show.
- 16:24Speaker 2: Was your question attached to that?
- 16:27Speaker 6: Yes, thank you very much.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Oh there you go, all right, Richard, Thank you for listening,
- 16:30Speaker 2: Thanks for calling in my friend, appreciate it. Let's go
- 16:31Speaker 2: to Robert in Westchester.
- 16:33Speaker 7: Good morning, Robert, good morning, how are you ken?
- 16:37Speaker 3: And bonafesta, bonifest la so gratzi.
- 16:42Speaker 7: So you know when I hear, like the pundits say, well,
- 16:46Speaker 7: these kids nowadays, they're turning to socialism because they can't
- 16:49Speaker 7: get a house, they can't get a car, they can't
- 16:52Speaker 7: get food, they can't get medical care. Okay, so I'm
- 16:56Speaker 7: sixty three and I did well in history. I remember
- 17:00Speaker 7: the stock market crash in school, and then the Great Depression.
- 17:04Speaker 7: People lost their house, people lost their cars, People had
- 17:08Speaker 7: no food to eat. People also lived in the street
- 17:11Speaker 7: and ate out of soup kitchens and definitely had no
- 17:13Speaker 7: health care. But you know the other differences, because in
- 17:16Speaker 7: nineteen forty one and December seventh, on December eighth, hundreds
- 17:20Speaker 7: of thousands of young Americans loved their nation so much
- 17:24Speaker 7: they didn't turn the socialism, they didn't turn the communism.
- 17:27Speaker 7: They turned to their nation and said, now it's time
- 17:30Speaker 7: for us to give back, and we love you. My
- 17:32Speaker 7: father was part of that generation. He fought in World
- 17:35Speaker 7: War two and he lived through the Depression as my
- 17:37Speaker 7: mother did, and God rested them both and they raised
- 17:40Speaker 7: their son. And everything I own today a tribute to
- 17:44Speaker 7: my mother, to this country, and to the founding fathers.
- 17:48Speaker 7: These kids are spoilt brats. I don't want to hear
- 17:50Speaker 7: that they can't afford this. They can't afford that. You
- 17:53Speaker 7: know when I bought my first house, how long it
- 17:54Speaker 7: took me at age fifty. I'm not trying to blow
- 17:57Speaker 7: my own horn, but this nation deserves respect, and it
- 18:01Speaker 7: deserves you to give back to it, not just to take.
- 18:03Speaker 7: It's going to be a little rough, but you know
- 18:05Speaker 7: what people usually do. They get two jobs, they get
- 18:08Speaker 7: three jobs. You can't live in mommy daddy's basement and say, well,
- 18:11Speaker 7: Ken's driving a Porsche. I want to drive one.
- 18:13Speaker 4: I will.
- 18:14Speaker 7: You're gonna have to take the bus, right, You're gonna
- 18:16Speaker 7: have to take the bus. But Ken, Happy fourth of July.
- 18:20Speaker 7: Thank you very much for letting me get my say.
- 18:22Speaker 7: God bless you, my friend, and God bless America.
- 18:25Speaker 2: God bless you back. And I'm with you on the
- 18:26Speaker 2: God Bless America. Robert much appreciated. And yeah, you know what,
- 18:29Speaker 2: Robert's right, And I think a lot of it has
- 18:31Speaker 2: to do with Robert's parents, Like my parents they're from
- 18:33Speaker 2: that same generation. They went to school and were not
- 18:37Speaker 2: taught socialism by teachers. You have socialism, especially in colleges,
- 18:41Speaker 2: but then it's filtered down to high school and even
- 18:43Speaker 2: grammar school. Now a very leftist mentality among teachers. If
- 18:47Speaker 2: I meet and listen, My mother in law was a
- 18:50Speaker 2: teacher and she was not a socialist. But nowadays, many
- 18:53Speaker 2: of the young teachers a meeting, I have to take
- 18:55Speaker 2: a step back and I wait and let them talk
- 18:58Speaker 2: to see where they stand politically, and I'd say eight
- 19:00Speaker 2: out of ten, eight out of ten tend to be
- 19:02Speaker 2: left of center. And I don't know if it's because
- 19:04Speaker 2: it's more women tend to be more empathetic and liberal
- 19:07Speaker 2: than men, and more teachers happen to be female than male.
- 19:11Speaker 2: I don't know where it comes from, or if it
- 19:12Speaker 2: was an intentional indoctrination by the colleges, but nonetheless that's
- 19:16Speaker 2: what we see. Yes, that's Charles Charles is telling them
- 19:19Speaker 2: just be quiet back there, because I'm on the radio
- 19:21Speaker 2: a Charles and Millard place. How are you, my friend,
- 19:24Speaker 2: great Ken, how are you? I'm good. I used to
- 19:27Speaker 2: work not far from there. Many men I used to
- 19:29Speaker 2: work out in Medford, So I know where Miller Place
- 19:31Speaker 2: is very well, but go ahead. What's your question today?
- 19:34Speaker 2: Good morning?
- 19:35Speaker 8: So a while back you were on you fill it
- 19:38Speaker 8: in from Mark and you had mentioned the real ID
- 19:42Speaker 8: with the licenses in New York and the difference between
- 19:45Speaker 8: most of the Red states and how we continued with
- 19:48Speaker 8: the regular license and then we had a purchase.
- 19:51Speaker 7: Of real ID.
- 19:52Speaker 9: Right, what would happen if we pulled the same trick
- 19:56Speaker 9: with with the birthright citizenship? Okay, yes, you're a citizen,
- 20:01Speaker 9: but you're not a real citizen, you know what I mean?
- 20:05Speaker 2: But no, I don't know what you mean. Where are
- 20:07Speaker 2: you going with it? In other words, we give them citizenship,
- 20:10Speaker 2: but we have some kind of differentiation, but you can't
- 20:12Speaker 2: because if there's you're either a citizen or you're not.
- 20:15Speaker 2: That's the problem.
- 20:16Speaker 8: Yeah, they have seen that, but you know you either
- 20:18Speaker 8: have a license, so you don't, right, So.
- 20:22Speaker 2: I gotta pause on that one. Here's the difference. Birthright
- 20:25Speaker 2: citizenship doesn't naturalize you as a citizen. You're a citizen.
- 20:29Speaker 2: In other words, the people who are birthright citizens, they
- 20:31Speaker 2: could become president. These are not people who we are
- 20:34Speaker 2: allowing to become citizens later. Those people could have their
- 20:37Speaker 2: citizenship revoked. If you're a birthright citizen, that person can
- 20:42Speaker 2: be president. That's what's scary about this decision. You could
- 20:45Speaker 2: literally have. In fact, there's one study that shows there
- 20:47Speaker 2: as many as a million people from China who intentionally
- 20:51Speaker 2: came over in the last ten years and gave birth,
- 20:54Speaker 2: have their children born in the US, went back to China,
- 20:57Speaker 2: and over the next fifteen twenty years, we're going to
- 20:59Speaker 2: graduate get a million people from communist China coming here
- 21:02Speaker 2: who are full fledged American citizens, and they could become president.
- 21:06Speaker 2: Yet they could be truly the Manchurian candidate who hate
- 21:09Speaker 2: the United States, who could be plotting against us. But
- 21:12Speaker 2: because of this opening of a can of worms by
- 21:15Speaker 2: our wonderful Supreme Court and Justice Roberts, who you can't
- 21:18Speaker 2: trust as far as you could throw in terms of
- 21:20Speaker 2: making decisions because he always wants to make everybody happy.
- 21:23Speaker 2: Now we have a can of worms open, and we
- 21:25Speaker 2: have a Democrat group in Congress that will never allow
- 21:29Speaker 2: for the Republicans to try to pass a constitutional amendment.
- 21:32Speaker 2: So that's our problem. But I appreciate the call, Charles,
- 21:34Speaker 2: thank you so much. It is ten thirty three right now,
- 21:37Speaker 2: seven ten The Voice of New York seven to ten
- 21:39Speaker 2: wo R. Coming up next, we'll speak with a woman
- 21:42Speaker 2: from the Independent Council on Women's Sports regarding the Supreme
- 21:45Speaker 2: Court decision to allow states to ban biological males from
- 21:48Speaker 2: competing in female sports. Time now for Darra Albinger, and
- 21:52Speaker 2: I'm pronouncing your name properly with the news. Get boarded, Good,
- 21:56Speaker 2: good morning.
- 21:56Speaker 10: Are you staying cool today?
- 21:58Speaker 2: I'm sitting on a block of ice and fanning myself off.
- 22:01Speaker 3: You are the epitome of you.
- 22:04Speaker 2: Listen to Daria.
- 22:05Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten
- 22:08Speaker 1: WI Ken from Mark Today, Here's Ken Rosato and.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Nice to begin with you on a Thursday, a Friday eve,
- 22:16Speaker 2: we like to call it, with this great long holiday
- 22:18Speaker 2: weekend upon us. You know, ten years ago, the concept
- 22:20Speaker 2: of biological males and female sports wouldn't have been taken
- 22:24Speaker 2: seriously by just about anybody, but the far left in
- 22:27Speaker 2: America loves to push and push and push until the
- 22:32Speaker 2: rest of society finally pushes back and says, knock it off.
- 22:35Speaker 2: And then they look at the mainstream society's whoa, whoa,
- 22:38Speaker 2: what do you mean? Well, a number of states started
- 22:41Speaker 2: pushing back stopping biological males from competing on female teams,
- 22:45Speaker 2: and they got sued, But the Supreme Court this week
- 22:48Speaker 2: finally decided that states have the right to say no
- 22:52Speaker 2: to trans athletes wanting to compete on teams opposite the
- 22:56Speaker 2: gender that they were assigned at birth. Former San Jose
- 22:59Speaker 2: State volleyball Brooks Slusser is now with the Independent Council
- 23:03Speaker 2: on Women's Sports and is applauding the High Court's decision.
- 23:06Speaker 2: We say good morning to you, brook, good morning, How
- 23:09Speaker 2: are you wonderful? Thank you and very happy as I'm
- 23:12Speaker 2: sure you are about the Supreme Court's decision at least
- 23:14Speaker 2: one decision that it seems like they got right here.
- 23:18Speaker 2: So the Supreme Court looked at two cases in this
- 23:19Speaker 2: case that they put together, it was West Virginia versus
- 23:22Speaker 2: BPJ and Little versus he Cocks. And in Little versus Hecocks, specifically,
- 23:27Speaker 2: the state of Idaho passed the Fairness in Women's Sports
- 23:30Speaker 2: Act way back in twenty twenty, prohibiting trans women and
- 23:34Speaker 2: girls aka biological males, from competing on female teams. A
- 23:38Speaker 2: biological male identifying as a female and going by the
- 23:40Speaker 2: name Lindsay Heacox wanted to try out for Boise State
- 23:43Speaker 2: University's track and cross country teams, but was told no.
- 23:47Speaker 2: And that's how this all started, right, And this decision
- 23:51Speaker 2: was not that It's not that certain states can't still
- 23:55Speaker 2: have biological males on women's sports. It's just that it's
- 23:58Speaker 2: up to the state to decide correct exactly, yes, So
- 24:04Speaker 2: why is anybody protesting that.
- 24:08Speaker 11: That's the one thing we still need to work on.
- 24:10Speaker 11: This is a big win and it is exciting, like
- 24:13Speaker 11: you said, but we still have I want to say,
- 24:16Speaker 11: it's twenty three states that are choosing to allow it
- 24:19Speaker 11: to still happen having men on women's sports teams. So
- 24:23Speaker 11: this is a big win and it is very exciting,
- 24:26Speaker 11: But like you said, states can still pick for themselves,
- 24:29Speaker 11: so we still have a lot more work to do
- 24:31Speaker 11: to make sure that the states that are still allowing
- 24:34Speaker 11: it change their minds on that topic.
- 24:36Speaker 2: So here's a question, Brooke, how does the father of
- 24:40Speaker 2: any daughter who's attending a college as an athlete? How
- 24:44Speaker 2: does that father here? Yes, it sounds sexist, I'm speaking
- 24:47Speaker 2: up with the dads here. How does any father say
- 24:50Speaker 2: it's okay that my daughter is going to be slammed
- 24:53Speaker 2: in the head at ninety miles an hour by a
- 24:55Speaker 2: volleyball thrust upon her by a guy who identifies today
- 25:00Speaker 2: as a woman. How does any fathership back and go,
- 25:02Speaker 2: oh whatever, I don't get it.
- 25:04Speaker 11: I don't get it either. I mean my dad, just
- 25:08Speaker 11: from my situation, he was absolutely livid, like right as
- 25:13Speaker 11: he found out everything that was going on. He was
- 25:16Speaker 11: driving or flying up to be with me the whole time,
- 25:20Speaker 11: and he was absolutely pissed at my coaching staff, my
- 25:25Speaker 11: compliance that hid it from me and my team. So personally,
- 25:29Speaker 11: I just don't understand again how a dad could be
- 25:32Speaker 11: okay with it. I had a dad that definitely was not,
- 25:37Speaker 11: so he did everything in his power to be there
- 25:39Speaker 11: for me when I was having to go through that
- 25:42Speaker 11: hard time.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Well, you know, I laugh at the fact that in
- 25:46Speaker 2: every case of trans athletes and the whole issue being
- 25:49Speaker 2: brought up, we don't have a case. We don't have
- 25:52Speaker 2: a case of a woman who is a trans male
- 25:56Speaker 2: fighting to compete on a man's team. Do you notice
- 25:59Speaker 2: that it's always men fighting to be a woman identifying
- 26:04Speaker 2: as a woman, so they have the physiological attributes of
- 26:08Speaker 2: a man and could be superior in strength and speed
- 26:11Speaker 2: and response on a sports team. Why is that think?
- 26:14Speaker 2: Is it me or am I the only weirdo that
- 26:17Speaker 2: has noticed that?
- 26:19Speaker 11: No, believe me. I have talked about this a lot,
- 26:23Speaker 11: and I think it's pretty obvious. The reasoning is because
- 26:26Speaker 11: any woman or girl that tries to say or become
- 26:31Speaker 11: a man quote unquote knows that they would get trampled
- 26:35Speaker 11: and humiliated trying to play on any men's team. So
- 26:38Speaker 11: they still play on their women's sports teams like they should.
- 26:42Speaker 11: But these men that are coming in trying and call
- 26:44Speaker 11: themselves girls or women are dominating every field of athletics
- 26:49Speaker 11: that they join because they are scientifically biologically better superior
- 26:55Speaker 11: as it should be. I mean, we all know this.
- 26:57Speaker 11: These are scientific basic facts.
- 27:01Speaker 2: And even if they are caught pre puberty and given
- 27:05Speaker 2: puberty blockers, males are born endemically. They are born any
- 27:10Speaker 2: doctor will tell you already with a larger frame, larger deltoids,
- 27:14Speaker 2: larger shoulders, even before the massive amounts of testosterone come
- 27:18Speaker 2: in at puberty, so that physiologically they're already different. Their
- 27:23Speaker 2: cells already respond differently, the twitch cells and whatnot. Any
- 27:27Speaker 2: scientist worth their salt who is honest will tell you that.
- 27:31Speaker 2: So it's not just a well, this little boy was
- 27:34Speaker 2: given puberty blockers, which, by the way, should be criminal
- 27:37Speaker 2: to be given puberty blockers because by the way, I
- 27:39Speaker 2: had an uncle. Puberty blockers, for those who don't know,
- 27:42Speaker 2: stop the testes from producing large amounts of testosterone in
- 27:46Speaker 2: the case of the male, puberty blockers, and that's what
- 27:49Speaker 2: they give men who have prosta cancer because testosterone feeds cancer,
- 27:54Speaker 2: tumors and prostate cancer. And so they used to the
- 27:58Speaker 2: cure for prosta cancer. If you will add treatment at
- 28:00Speaker 2: the cure, the treatment used to be to remove a
- 28:02Speaker 2: man's testicles, and now they use something that was a
- 28:04Speaker 2: prona I forget what it's called, something known the name
- 28:07Speaker 2: of the drug, and they give you this drug that
- 28:10Speaker 2: basically puts the testes to sleep so they don't produce testosterone,
- 28:15Speaker 2: and so that's a puberty blocker. But it can permanently
- 28:17Speaker 2: disable or damage the testes. So if the child at
- 28:21Speaker 2: fourteen changes his mind and decides I do want to
- 28:24Speaker 2: be a man, at that point, it might be too late.
- 28:26Speaker 2: This is why it is so crazy. But that's another
- 28:29Speaker 2: argument for another day. I'm sorry Brooke to go off
- 28:31Speaker 2: on that tangent, but now the problem is as we
- 28:34Speaker 2: just addressed in the beginning, if forty percent of the
- 28:37Speaker 2: states still do permit biological males and women's sports, how
- 28:41Speaker 2: will you compete interstate? Will you just have to have
- 28:45Speaker 2: one league that is just all female and another league
- 28:48Speaker 2: that is mixed female and biological male.
- 28:52Speaker 11: I mean, the NCAA was made on the fact that
- 28:56Speaker 11: there is separate men's and women's sports, and it's been
- 28:59Speaker 11: like that for obviously this is a known thing. I
- 29:03Speaker 11: don't think we need to change that. I think you
- 29:05Speaker 11: just you have to play in your biological sex sport,
- 29:09Speaker 11: and that's how it should be. That's how it's always been,
- 29:11Speaker 11: that's the fair way to play, Like you just said,
- 29:15Speaker 11: with younger kids trying to be transgenders or whatever they
- 29:20Speaker 11: call them. I coach the thirteen's girls team, and there
- 29:23Speaker 11: was a boy calling himself a girl that we had
- 29:26Speaker 11: to play against and he whooked their butt. So this
- 29:29Speaker 11: is at every level that it's an issue. It's not
- 29:32Speaker 11: just college athletics that once these men are getting to
- 29:35Speaker 11: that age of more development and everything, that there's still
- 29:39Speaker 11: so much more superior at every age that they try
- 29:42Speaker 11: and call themselves girls or women. It's a big issue.
- 29:46Speaker 11: Not even just on the court, but off the court,
- 29:48Speaker 11: in the girls' locker rooms, the girls' bathrooms, and so
- 29:52Speaker 11: there's issues and problems with this situation and every aspect
- 29:56Speaker 11: of it when you look at it from outside and
- 29:58Speaker 11: then when you're in it on the inside. It's the
- 30:01Speaker 11: most traumatizing experience, at least for me and for everyone
- 30:04Speaker 11: else that I know has gone through it in my life.
- 30:07Speaker 11: You can't take that time back. You only get so
- 30:09Speaker 11: much time playing the sport you love. So there's so
- 30:13Speaker 11: many problems with it, and the issues are the people
- 30:16Speaker 11: that are allowing it to happen. So that's why I
- 30:18Speaker 11: say this win is big, but we still need to
- 30:22Speaker 11: hold accountable the people that have allowed this to happen
- 30:25Speaker 11: in the first place, the individuals that caused these issues
- 30:28Speaker 11: to happen period.
- 30:30Speaker 2: Any plan on suing the states that are still allowing
- 30:33Speaker 2: this to happen based on the Supreme Court decision.
- 30:37Speaker 11: Not as of now. I still have my lawsuits that
- 30:40Speaker 11: are going on with a bunch of other young women
- 30:43Speaker 11: athletes and icons with the Title nine issues at hand
- 30:47Speaker 11: that they cross the line protecting these men under women's
- 30:50Speaker 11: Title nine rules. So we're working on that right now,
- 30:54Speaker 11: which hopefully would make a difference for every state.
- 30:57Speaker 2: Now, this is so unfair to women, young girls who've
- 31:00Speaker 2: trained since grammar school in different sports and then literally
- 31:04Speaker 2: had everything stolen from them because of a bunch of
- 31:06Speaker 2: quote unquote do good little white liberals who think that
- 31:10Speaker 2: they know best. They tell everybody I love. I've seen
- 31:12Speaker 2: memes online of like white liberal women telling African American
- 31:16Speaker 2: men how they should be voting, and it's like, shut up,
- 31:19Speaker 2: just shut up and stop with your phony empathy. It's like,
- 31:23Speaker 2: be quiet, sit down, stay in your lane. Brooks Slusser
- 31:26Speaker 2: with the Independent Council on Women's Sports. Thanks, thank you
- 31:29Speaker 2: for fighting the good fight. Thank you for coming on
- 31:31Speaker 2: this morning, and please stay safe with those athletes.
- 31:35Speaker 11: Of course, thank you so much for having me.
- 31:37Speaker 2: You bet have a great day. All right, it's ten
- 31:40Speaker 2: fifty one right now, sunny, hot and humid today. This
- 31:42Speaker 2: is can Rozzato in for the great Mark Simone. He's
- 31:44Speaker 2: on VAC today, well deserved. Hi's today upper nineties and
- 31:48Speaker 2: we will take your calls next you want to talk
- 31:51Speaker 2: about this or any other topic. The phone lines are
- 31:53Speaker 2: open eight hundred three two one zero seven, ten eight
- 31:57Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten seven ten wr
- 32:01Speaker 2: were coming right back now.
- 32:03Speaker 1: More of the marximone show on seven to ten wor
- 32:07Speaker 1: filling in form Mark.
- 32:08Speaker 10: Here again is Ken Rosato.
- 32:11Speaker 2: And Ice to be with you on your Thursday. Straight
- 32:13Speaker 2: to the busy phones, and John from Long Island has
- 32:15Speaker 2: been patiently waiting. Good morning to you, John, Yes.
- 32:19Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 32:20Speaker 7: You mentioned before about the people that climbed the Empire
- 32:24Speaker 7: State Building was subject to.
- 32:28Speaker 3: Radiation dangerous for radiation.
- 32:31Speaker 5: How about the people that went up the security people
- 32:34Speaker 5: that went up with that arrested them.
- 32:36Speaker 2: You're right, and well, yes and no. Here's the difference.
- 32:39Speaker 2: They didn't hold on to what's called the master antenna,
- 32:42Speaker 2: and they were only there for a little bit of time.
- 32:45Speaker 2: They weren't there as long. And I think by that
- 32:47Speaker 2: point a lot of the transmitters had lowered the power.
- 32:49Speaker 2: From what I'm reading, a lot of the engineers got
- 32:52Speaker 2: winned at that point and took the power levels down
- 32:55Speaker 2: a little bit. That doesn't mean that they were safe.
- 32:58Speaker 2: You're right. They were definitely putting themselves in danger. And
- 33:01Speaker 2: that's what our emergency people do, right, They put them
- 33:03Speaker 2: their own lives at risk. How many people in nine
- 33:06Speaker 2: to eleven went down to the piles, thinking that maybe
- 33:09Speaker 2: it would be okay, but not caring either way, and
- 33:12Speaker 2: many of them died of cancer later because that's what
- 33:14Speaker 2: they do. They're just selfless. God right, John, thank you
- 33:18Speaker 2: so much for the call. Happy forth to you, my friend.
- 33:20Speaker 2: We appreciate you. Good morning. You're on loop. They just
- 33:23Speaker 2: lost it. We had a caller and we just lost
- 33:25Speaker 2: the caller. Drop right there. But yeah, just to bring
- 33:28Speaker 2: up what John was talking about there on Long Island again,
- 33:31Speaker 2: this was yesterday. The couple, the Russian couple from East Orange,
- 33:34Speaker 2: New Jersey. Very hot looking by the way, I might say,
- 33:37Speaker 2: they're very attractive couple. You know, this was all a
- 33:40Speaker 2: big plot to promote their Netflix show that they're going
- 33:44Speaker 2: to have. And as Larry was saying this morning, Larry
- 33:47Speaker 2: and Curtis was talking about the fact that they had
- 33:49Speaker 2: never heard of them before, but now that they've done
- 33:51Speaker 2: this stunt and they may want to take a look
- 33:53Speaker 2: at it. I don't know about you. I'm terrified of
- 33:57Speaker 2: heights and seeing the drone video of the drones beenning
- 34:00Speaker 2: around in circles showing all of New York City underneath them.
- 34:03Speaker 2: Yesterday I literally was on the verge of a panic
- 34:05Speaker 2: attack because they were not tethered. Not even the engineers
- 34:09Speaker 2: who work up there go up there without a tether.
- 34:11Speaker 2: These two were not tethered. They didn't have any special equipment.
- 34:16Speaker 2: They just climb crazy. Don't ever try that, all right, sunny, hot,
- 34:22Speaker 2: humid today, high's upper nineties. Can Rosato in for Mark
- 34:25Speaker 2: on Your Thursday. Coming up later in the show, we'll
- 34:27Speaker 2: talk with brand and digital strategist Fisher wall Street is
- 34:30Speaker 2: huring Meta's big new push into cloud computing, even as
- 34:34Speaker 2: the move could mean lower profit margins. Seven to ten
- 34:36Speaker 2: WR the Voice of New York were back after the news.
- 34:39Speaker 1: It's the Mark Simone Show, Live from the War Life
- 34:43Speaker 1: BAX Studios.
- 34:45Speaker 10: Guest hosting for Mark Today. Here's Ken Rosatto.
- 34:50Speaker 2: And so nice to be with you on your Thursday
- 34:52Speaker 2: as we lead into Independence safe. By the way, I
- 34:54Speaker 2: like to call it Independence Day instead of fourth of July,
- 34:57Speaker 2: just because I know it's popular to call it fourth
- 34:59Speaker 2: of but we tend to lose count or lose track
- 35:03Speaker 2: of what the holiday is. We just think of it
- 35:05Speaker 2: fourth of July. Hot dogs, fireworks forgetting it is Independence Day.
- 35:09Speaker 2: It's the day that are founding parents, let's say, because
- 35:13Speaker 2: they remember behind those founding fathers were founding mothers who
- 35:16Speaker 2: sacrificed a lot too. And behind those founding parents, uh,
- 35:20Speaker 2: they had some hutzpa to stand up to the literally
- 35:25Speaker 2: the giant power of the world at the time, Great Britain,
- 35:28Speaker 2: and say screw you, We're going to be an independent
- 35:32Speaker 2: country and we want nothing to do with you. And
- 35:34Speaker 2: that took some hootspot because I bet you a lot
- 35:36Speaker 2: of them figured they were signing their death warrant at
- 35:38Speaker 2: that point. They figured they're gonna that Great Britain is
- 35:41Speaker 2: gonna come, and uh, they were gonna come and wipe
- 35:43Speaker 2: them out. And that's that. They didn't have much defense,
- 35:47Speaker 2: and with a little help from you know, other countries
- 35:50Speaker 2: like France and whatnot, both giving mercenaries and weapons, they
- 35:55Speaker 2: were able to combat them. But read the history of
- 35:58Speaker 2: our country and the founding and Independence day. The more
- 36:02Speaker 2: you read about it, the more chills you get and
- 36:03Speaker 2: you realize these guys were amazing. And by the way,
- 36:06Speaker 2: alcohol played a big role in it. These if you
- 36:10Speaker 2: read what the alcohol was, the alcohol bill was, they
- 36:15Speaker 2: drank a lot when they spent their weeks in Philadelphia
- 36:19Speaker 2: calculating things and writing the Declaration of Independence et cetera.
- 36:23Speaker 2: There is this giant bill, this tab that they racked
- 36:26Speaker 2: up for whiskeys and beer and things like that. These
- 36:29Speaker 2: guys drank a lot because remember, the water wasn't really
- 36:32Speaker 2: safe as it was, so they used to add a
- 36:34Speaker 2: little alcohol to it, and then they added a little
- 36:36Speaker 2: more to it, and then they would get a little
- 36:38Speaker 2: heated under the collar. And that's probably how a lot
- 36:40Speaker 2: of their decisions were made. But worked for them. I
- 36:42Speaker 2: don't recommend it today, but it worked for them. Seven
- 36:45Speaker 2: ten wo R the Voice of New York. Our phone
- 36:47Speaker 2: lines are open. Give us a call. Take part in
- 36:50Speaker 2: the conversation at eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
- 36:54Speaker 2: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten. This
- 36:57Speaker 2: is Ken Rosatto, TV news anchor Guy ken Rosotto. I
- 37:00Speaker 2: was on Channel seven for twenty years. I was on
- 37:02Speaker 2: Good Day New York on Fox five for a year.
- 37:05Speaker 2: I only did that a year, but it was a
- 37:06Speaker 2: fun year. Good friends. I still have a Channel five too.
- 37:10Speaker 2: We are in the middle of a heat wave. The
- 37:12Speaker 2: tri State is going to see around ninety seven ninety
- 37:15Speaker 2: eight degrees today. A few spots will break one hundred.
- 37:18Speaker 2: Usually Newark is always a few degrees hotter. Then it's funny.
- 37:22Speaker 2: Newark gets a little colder than New York in the winter.
- 37:24Speaker 2: They call it cold as brick, the brick city. And
- 37:27Speaker 2: it gets a little hotter than New York in the summer.
- 37:29Speaker 2: And I think a lot of it is because they're
- 37:30Speaker 2: sort of recessed. It's sort of a valley, and they
- 37:34Speaker 2: get the weather kind of concentrated there. But Newark will
- 37:37Speaker 2: probably break one hundred New York again upper nineties. But
- 37:40Speaker 2: the wheel feel the temperature humidity index we used to
- 37:43Speaker 2: call it years ago when I was a baby. In
- 37:45Speaker 2: Radio Thchi, they called it the THGI. That means the
- 37:49Speaker 2: humidity is going to make it feel a lot hotter.
- 37:51Speaker 2: So you're talking one hundred and ten, but that's hot.
- 37:55Speaker 2: So make sure kids, pets, relatives, elderly relatives, we say
- 38:00Speaker 2: it quickly. Make sure that your elderly relatives have air
- 38:04Speaker 2: conditioning and that they are drinking a lot of water.
- 38:07Speaker 2: Older people don't sense the heat like younger people do,
- 38:11Speaker 2: and so they are likely to say, no, I'm comfortable,
- 38:13Speaker 2: I'm fine, and you walk into the room and it's
- 38:15Speaker 2: like one hundred degrees and they don't realize they are
- 38:18Speaker 2: dehydrating by sitting in that heat. Their bodies are still reacting,
- 38:22Speaker 2: but they don't feel it. So if you are older,
- 38:25Speaker 2: make sure you put on your air conditioning, even if
- 38:27Speaker 2: it makes you feel a little uncomfortable. Get your air
- 38:30Speaker 2: down at least to seventy eight. And make sure you
- 38:33Speaker 2: drink plenty of water and actually a lot of Make
- 38:36Speaker 2: sure you have bananas, potassium, gatorade, things like that too,
- 38:39Speaker 2: because you don't want to deplete yourself of electrolytes. But
- 38:43Speaker 2: water important. Electrolytes also important, all right, sorry to give
- 38:46Speaker 2: the lecture, but very important. And for those of you
- 38:49Speaker 2: who love to make fun of the fact that I
- 38:50Speaker 2: live in Florida a good chunk of the year, I'm
- 38:52Speaker 2: in New York right now, but a lot of times
- 38:54Speaker 2: I am in Fort Lauderdale, both when I'm broadcasting and not.
- 38:59Speaker 2: And today in Fort Lauderdale the highest eighty six with
- 39:02Speaker 2: lower humidity than New York. So the next time my
- 39:04Speaker 2: friends say, how could you live in Florida? It's so
- 39:07Speaker 2: hot and humid, especially in the summer, Well, it actually
- 39:10Speaker 2: is cooler there in a lot of the summer days,
- 39:13Speaker 2: on a lot of the summer days that it is
- 39:14Speaker 2: in New York. And that's because when it hits ninety
- 39:17Speaker 2: five or so. In South Florida, we tend to get
- 39:19Speaker 2: thunderstorms the cool things down. It's sticky, it's uncomfortable, but
- 39:24Speaker 2: at least it's not one hundred degrees plus. Everywhere in
- 39:28Speaker 2: South Florida has really powerful air conditioning, whereas it's kind
- 39:32Speaker 2: of hit and miss here in New York. You walk
- 39:33Speaker 2: into places and the air conditioning units struggle to get
- 39:36Speaker 2: things down to a certain temperature seven to ten, wore
- 39:40Speaker 2: The Voice of New York. It is Ken Rozotto in
- 39:43Speaker 2: for Mark on Thursday, and is he our engineer actually
- 39:46Speaker 2: brought this up. He said, yeah, you know, I have
- 39:48Speaker 2: the air conditioning on. It's struggling. That's a great point.
- 39:52Speaker 2: If you have your air conditioning on and right now
- 39:55Speaker 2: you're saying, hey, I've had the air on all day,
- 39:57Speaker 2: all night, and right now my room is only getting
- 40:00Speaker 2: down to seventy seven. Air Conditioners are only meant to
- 40:04Speaker 2: knock the temperature down ten to twenty degrees on average.
- 40:08Speaker 2: If you have a big central air unit, maybe twenty
- 40:10Speaker 2: five that's it. So if it's one hundred and humid out,
- 40:14Speaker 2: the best your air is going to get you down to.
- 40:16Speaker 2: It's like eighty to seventy five. It's not going to
- 40:19Speaker 2: get you down to sixty eight even if you set
- 40:21Speaker 2: it at sixty eight. In fact, it may even cause
- 40:23Speaker 2: the coils to freeze. So don't rush to call the
- 40:26Speaker 2: repair people immediately thinking your unit isn't working. When you
- 40:30Speaker 2: get above one hundred degrees or around that, that is
- 40:33Speaker 2: the best your air conditioning unit's going to do. It's
- 40:35Speaker 2: going to give you about twenty degrees, so be happy
- 40:38Speaker 2: you're down to eighty. But that's why you should make
- 40:41Speaker 2: sure you drink lots of fluids and hydrate. All right,
- 40:44Speaker 2: we were talking earlier about gas prices dropping. They're continuing
- 40:47Speaker 2: to drop if you haven't noticed. Right now, the national
- 40:50Speaker 2: average for a gallon of gas is down to three
- 40:53Speaker 2: eighty five, and by the end of the summer it
- 40:55Speaker 2: should get down to lower than it was a year
- 40:58Speaker 2: ago at this point, so it'll be lower than it
- 41:01Speaker 2: has been in about seven or eight years, and that
- 41:05Speaker 2: should happen by the end of the summer, so it'll
- 41:06Speaker 2: be about three point fifteen three ten a gallon, and
- 41:10Speaker 2: as that continues to happen, everything will drop in price, groceries, clothing,
- 41:16Speaker 2: your weekly gas bill. Think about that. If it goes
- 41:18Speaker 2: down by that much, you're talking about the average family
- 41:21Speaker 2: saving maybe forty bucks a week. You multiply that, that's
- 41:24Speaker 2: two thousand dollars a year. It's a lot of money
- 41:27Speaker 2: back in your family budget by those gas prices coming down.
- 41:31Speaker 2: So that is definitely a good thing. Big decisions of
- 41:34Speaker 2: course by Scotus the Supreme Court. This week, we just
- 41:37Speaker 2: talked to somebody from a female athletes organization about the
- 41:42Speaker 2: no biological males and female sports. And many people on
- 41:46Speaker 2: the left, especially among the the I call them the
- 41:50Speaker 2: extra letters. There's the LGBTQIA plus. Okay, the LGB community
- 41:57Speaker 2: tends to be one of one mindset, and then the
- 42:00Speaker 2: tq IA plus plus plus tends to be another community.
- 42:05Speaker 2: The difference is LGP are lesbian, gay, bisexual. They're like,
- 42:09Speaker 2: can I don't want to hear all this art just
- 42:11Speaker 2: to I'll simplified it as much as possible. These are
- 42:13Speaker 2: people who live their true lives whatever, and they just
- 42:17Speaker 2: happen to be attracted to people of the same sex,
- 42:19Speaker 2: all right, nothing different then the the TIA xx plus
- 42:23Speaker 2: plus whatever are people who identify they call themselves queer,
- 42:28Speaker 2: They identify differently. They think they're a different gender. But
- 42:31Speaker 2: buh buh, buh buh. All right. I'm not condemning anyone here,
- 42:34Speaker 2: and I'm not criticizing. I'm just saying there is a
- 42:36Speaker 2: difference because one is a sexual attraction and one is
- 42:40Speaker 2: a psychological belief that is contrary to reality, all right.
- 42:45Speaker 2: So and again that's not being mean. I'm not being
- 42:48Speaker 2: I'm not hurling an insult by saying that there is
- 42:50Speaker 2: a difference between the two, all right. And that's why
- 42:54Speaker 2: I think a lot of people in the gay community,
- 42:55Speaker 2: traditional people in the gay community are tired of being
- 42:58Speaker 2: dragged into the transgender and queer identifying and gender non
- 43:04Speaker 2: binary and blah blah blah, and on we go. There
- 43:06Speaker 2: is a difference. So I don't understand the complaint from
- 43:10Speaker 2: that community, because the Supreme Court simply said that each
- 43:13Speaker 2: state has a right to allow none are people, say,
- 43:19Speaker 2: born as biological males who identify as women. Okay, so
- 43:22Speaker 2: trans women. Certain states will allow it in certain mood.
- 43:27Speaker 2: And the Supreme Court said, it's education is managed by
- 43:30Speaker 2: the states, So let the states decide. That's all that
- 43:32Speaker 2: they said, Just like with the abortion issue. Let the
- 43:34Speaker 2: states decide. Let it be a local issue, because if
- 43:37Speaker 2: your local morality and culture says one thing, then you
- 43:40Speaker 2: go with that, and if it says something else, and
- 43:42Speaker 2: you go with that. Title nine was set up by
- 43:45Speaker 2: the US government in order to make sure that women
- 43:50Speaker 2: have a place in sports, because they didn't because a
- 43:55Speaker 2: woman could not compete fairly on a men's team. And
- 43:59Speaker 2: undertipe literally tidle line was thrown out when they started
- 44:02Speaker 2: allowing biological males to identify as women to compete. And
- 44:05Speaker 2: as I said earlier this morning, you don't ever see
- 44:09Speaker 2: biological women identifying as men fighting to get onto men's
- 44:13Speaker 2: teams because they would get their asses kicked. Excuse my slang,
- 44:17Speaker 2: but yes, that's what would happen. They would get injured,
- 44:20Speaker 2: and they know that, and you just don't see that happening,
- 44:23Speaker 2: which then makes you scratch your head and say, hmm,
- 44:25Speaker 2: what's this all about. And if you are a biological
- 44:29Speaker 2: male identifying as a woman, you're not being banned from sports.
- 44:32Speaker 2: You can play on the boys team. You're allowed to
- 44:35Speaker 2: play on the boat. You could dress up as you want,
- 44:37Speaker 2: you could have long hair, you could put in fake breasts,
- 44:39Speaker 2: and you could still compete on the boys team. You
- 44:41Speaker 2: can do that so it's not that you are being
- 44:44Speaker 2: banned from sports. You are being banned from competing on
- 44:48Speaker 2: a team of people who do not have the biological
- 44:52Speaker 2: advantage that you have by being born male. But mister Redundo,
- 44:55Speaker 2: mister Rodundo, Oh, my kid had puberty blockers, so he
- 44:58Speaker 2: didn't form it. Adam's even with puberty blockers. You tell
- 45:03Speaker 2: you talk to any doctor or if his or her salt,
- 45:05Speaker 2: and they will tell you that biological males are born
- 45:09Speaker 2: with a different physical frame. They're born taller, longer, bigger shoulders,
- 45:14Speaker 2: bigger arms, and they have their little twitch cells respond
- 45:18Speaker 2: differently in sports. So biological males, whether they have testosterone
- 45:23Speaker 2: in them or not, and there's always a little testosterone
- 45:25Speaker 2: from birth, by the way, they will respond differently than
- 45:28Speaker 2: biological females. So it is just not fair to allow
- 45:32Speaker 2: a biological male to compete on a team of biological females,
- 45:36Speaker 2: whether they identify as male females, somewhere in between or
- 45:39Speaker 2: somewhere from outer space. Let's just stop the ridiculousness. We
- 45:43Speaker 2: have girls getting hurt. They're getting hurt because they're being
- 45:47Speaker 2: They're playing against biological males and having volleyballs slammed at
- 45:52Speaker 2: them at ninety miles an hour, crossing brain damage. If
- 45:55Speaker 2: it was your daughter, would you accept that? No, you
- 45:57Speaker 2: would not. And it's just well kind, it's just because
- 46:00Speaker 2: pring in the sport. No, it wouldn't have happened playing
- 46:02Speaker 2: against women. It happened because in one team, the female
- 46:06Speaker 2: athlete was playing against a male athlete who slammed a
- 46:09Speaker 2: volleyball into her head at a speed three times what
- 46:12Speaker 2: a woman would have hit it at. That's why, and
- 46:14Speaker 2: it's not fair. And all the young girls who work
- 46:18Speaker 2: their whole school careers to get to a point where
- 46:20Speaker 2: they could compete and get a scholarship, they're having those
- 46:23Speaker 2: scholarships ripped from their arms. And there's nowhere to appeal
- 46:27Speaker 2: because some good hearted liberals think it's this better to
- 46:30Speaker 2: be pro transgender community, thinking that forgetting everything else, we
- 46:36Speaker 2: just have to be pro trans, pro legal, alien pro
- 46:39Speaker 2: As long as it's anti Trump, that's all that matters.
- 46:42Speaker 2: Stop it, stop it, step back, see the reality before
- 46:46Speaker 2: you make up your mind. Seven ten wo r the
- 46:50Speaker 2: Voice of New York. Hen Rosotto in for Mark on
- 46:53Speaker 2: a Thursday, and we will take calls to eight hundred
- 46:55Speaker 2: three to two one zero seven ten eight hundred three
- 46:57Speaker 2: to two to one zero seven ten. We've got a
- 46:59Speaker 2: couple minutes here. I want to talk also about birthright citizenship.
- 47:03Speaker 2: I think this is the biggest mistake the US Supreme
- 47:07Speaker 2: Court possibly ever made. And I know that's it sounds hyperbolic,
- 47:13Speaker 2: but I mean that probably the biggest mistake they have
- 47:17Speaker 2: ever made. And why do I say that, Well, first off,
- 47:21Speaker 2: whatever Western nations had birthright citizenship almost to the nation,
- 47:28Speaker 2: in the last few decades, they've gotten rid of it
- 47:30Speaker 2: because it's ridiculous. You, as an infant being born from
- 47:35Speaker 2: your mother, you don't have any say or control as
- 47:37Speaker 2: to what country you're born in. All Right, if a woman,
- 47:41Speaker 2: say a woman is from an enemy country, I say
- 47:43Speaker 2: an enemy country doesn't mean they hate America, but a
- 47:45Speaker 2: country that is not on a good stance with America.
- 47:48Speaker 2: Say you're from Iran, and you happen to be on
- 47:51Speaker 2: a cruise ship from somewhere from Europe where they could
- 47:53Speaker 2: they could board a cruise ship, and that cruise ship
- 47:56Speaker 2: happens to dock in New York on its way to
- 47:58Speaker 2: another location. They fill it with fuel, they dock in
- 48:00Speaker 2: New York. Woman gives birth while on that cruise ship.
- 48:04Speaker 2: That child's an American citizen. Now that woman could hate America,
- 48:08Speaker 2: doesn't want their kid being an American citizen. But based
- 48:11Speaker 2: on the silliness, now that the Supreme Court has decided
- 48:14Speaker 2: that child is an American, they can go back to Iran.
- 48:17Speaker 2: They could indoctrinate the kid, as Bullock could have a
- 48:21Speaker 2: field day with the kid and teach the kid that
- 48:23Speaker 2: America is the great Satan. And at eighteen, more at
- 48:27Speaker 2: any age, actually, but at eighteen, that kid can independently
- 48:30Speaker 2: come back to the United States, could even run for
- 48:32Speaker 2: president because they are not a naturalized citizen. They are
- 48:35Speaker 2: a born American, and they could run for president hating
- 48:41Speaker 2: the United States and wanting to wage gihad on the
- 48:44Speaker 2: United States. I'm just giving you an example of the
- 48:47Speaker 2: can of worms now opened by our illustrious Supreme Court
- 48:51Speaker 2: Justice Roberts, who always wants to make everybody happy because
- 48:55Speaker 2: he's an anti Trumper. He was a bush guy, very
- 48:58Speaker 2: liberal Republican. He is not a conservative by any stretch.
- 49:02Speaker 2: And he's been caught on audio saying that, oh, under Obamacare,
- 49:06Speaker 2: remember the big Obamacare debate, go back, you'll find it
- 49:08Speaker 2: online where he was cast saying, well, we can't do
- 49:10Speaker 2: that because the country would go crazy. So in other words,
- 49:13Speaker 2: he already played his hand, He already showed the cards
- 49:16Speaker 2: close to the vest that it wasn't all about what
- 49:19Speaker 2: is legal and just. It was about making sure that
- 49:22Speaker 2: the American people don't go crazy by our decision. That
- 49:26Speaker 2: is not supposed to play into it. Remember, justice is blind.
- 49:29Speaker 2: You're supposed to look at the letter of the law
- 49:30Speaker 2: and interpret it. But between him and Amy Cony Barrett,
- 49:34Speaker 2: who has become the biggest disappointment ever, and as as
- 49:38Speaker 2: a friend of mine said, that's the last time a
- 49:40Speaker 2: woman will get appointed to the Supreme Court by the
- 49:42Speaker 2: Republican Party. It seems that anytime Republicans appoint a woman
- 49:45Speaker 2: to the Supreme Court, they start out looking conservative and
- 49:48Speaker 2: in five years they become more liberal than the most
- 49:50Speaker 2: liberal justices. So stop trying to vote playing the DEI
- 49:56Speaker 2: card game here, okay, and just vote on their the
- 50:00Speaker 2: their record, their record on the court. Please. But just
- 50:04Speaker 2: looking at the can of worms, it's been open. It's scary.
- 50:07Speaker 2: Birthright tourism in Florida. I used to live in the
- 50:11Speaker 2: city of Hollywood, Florida. There are condo buildings all right
- 50:15Speaker 2: that have two hundred two hundred and fifty units in
- 50:17Speaker 2: them that have been bought up by wealthy Russians Ola Gox,
- 50:21Speaker 2: like Bernie would say, Ola Gox, they're all Ola Dockx
- 50:25Speaker 2: and they have bought these buildings and literally converted them
- 50:28Speaker 2: into birthright centers. So they charge wealthy Russians twenty five
- 50:33Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars to come for a month that they're
- 50:36Speaker 2: in their last month of pregnancy. You get put up
- 50:38Speaker 2: in this really nice condo on the water, You get
- 50:40Speaker 2: fed three meals. There are doctors and nurses, and literally
- 50:43Speaker 2: you give birth to your baby there and somebody takes
- 50:46Speaker 2: care of it. There are lawyers in the building that
- 50:47Speaker 2: get the kid the birth certificate and then you fly
- 50:49Speaker 2: back to Russia. It's all part of the package, and
- 50:53Speaker 2: that they openly advertise it. If you go between Hollywood
- 50:56Speaker 2: and Surfside and Sunnyside, Florida, Suny Isles Beach, Florida should
- 50:59Speaker 2: say up and down the coast on a one A,
- 51:01Speaker 2: you will see building after building after building with all
- 51:03Speaker 2: the signs written inkurrillic in Russian. And those people are
- 51:07Speaker 2: taking part in this trade. They don't even keep it
- 51:09Speaker 2: a secret. It's wide open and once those kids are born,
- 51:13Speaker 2: they are American citizens. Mommy takes them back to Russia
- 51:16Speaker 2: at eighteen, the kid comes back to the US and
- 51:19Speaker 2: can now petition to have their parents brought to the
- 51:22Speaker 2: US with them as a sponsor. And they are born
- 51:25Speaker 2: American citizens, so they can't be kicked out of the country.
- 51:29Speaker 2: Think about that. Seven ten w r The Voice of

- 52:04Speaker 1: seven to ten wor filling in for.
- 52:07Speaker 10: Mark here again is Ken Rosato.
- 52:10Speaker 2: Edaver, Good morning to you. Let's go right to the
- 52:12Speaker 2: busy phones and we take Vincent and Brooklyn, Good morning, sir.
- 52:15Speaker 4: Good morning, Kenon happy of an Independence Day in Antichi
- 52:21Speaker 4: po Ken. The story you talked about of an Iranian
- 52:25Speaker 4: woman getting on a cruise ship and stopping in the
- 52:27Speaker 4: United States and giving birth to a baby, well, similar
- 52:32Speaker 4: thing happened to my paternal grandmother in nineteen oh six.
- 52:36Speaker 4: She and my grandfather were coming from Italy and they
- 52:39Speaker 4: were in the US Continental Waters. My grandmother went into
- 52:43Speaker 4: labor and the ship was coming here, it was going
- 52:46Speaker 4: Ellis Island, went into labor. By the time she got
- 52:50Speaker 4: to Ellis Island, she had my uncle Mike and Harams.
- 52:54Speaker 4: My uncle didn't become a US citizen until my grandmother
- 52:59Speaker 4: and great father US citizens, and that was many years later.
- 53:04Speaker 4: You didn't they didn't automatically say to my grandmother, oh,
- 53:08Speaker 4: my uncle Mike's name was mcaleay. They didn't automatically say, oh,
- 53:13Speaker 4: McLeay because he was born in US continental water that
- 53:17Speaker 4: when you arrived at Ellis Island was you had a
- 53:21Speaker 4: newborn baby. He's an automatic citizen. That's the truth. I
- 53:25Speaker 4: actually have the passenger list of the ship and the
- 53:29Speaker 4: ship flog and to prove it.
- 53:31Speaker 2: And imagine if it were today, they could have been
- 53:33Speaker 2: fought in court or whatever. And uncle Mike would have
- 53:36Speaker 2: won because the difference it made is Uncle Mike was
- 53:39Speaker 2: probably now a naturalized American as opposed to a born American,
- 53:44Speaker 2: which means Uncle Mike, had he ever wanted to become president,
- 53:47Speaker 2: would have not been able to. But because he actually
- 53:49Speaker 2: was born in US territorial waters, he should have been
- 53:52Speaker 2: able to. This whole the whole idea though, of Vincent,
- 53:55Speaker 2: I just got to bring this out, the whole idea
- 53:58Speaker 2: of just by accident or intent, coming here in the
- 54:01Speaker 2: eighth and a half month and giving birth in order
- 54:04Speaker 2: to have the baby be an American. It just are
- 54:07Speaker 2: we all stupid? Are we suckers? And we're just going
- 54:10Speaker 2: to stand here and take it? Do the Democrats really
- 54:13Speaker 2: hate America that much and Republicans just stand by and
- 54:18Speaker 2: take this?
- 54:18Speaker 4: I don't get it, Ken, That's why all of the
- 54:21Speaker 4: dirt world countries are coming here and gaming the system.
- 54:25Speaker 4: Can if an American woman wasn't Rome right now on
- 54:30Speaker 4: a tour, went to visit Rome and all of a
- 54:32Speaker 4: sudden she broke away, she gave birth. Your kid is
- 54:36Speaker 4: in an Italian citizen. You know, it's upset, And that's
- 54:40Speaker 4: why everybody's coming here and gaming the system. Can they
- 54:44Speaker 4: actually have online from whatever country you want these manuals,
- 54:49Speaker 4: so you could get online how to come in here
- 54:52Speaker 4: and game the systems.
- 54:53Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard me down when I'm
- 54:55Speaker 2: down in Florida, they actually have billboards out. They're not
- 54:57Speaker 2: not giants the highway billboards, but near the buildings like
- 55:00Speaker 2: bus boards.
- 55:02Speaker 4: I heard what I want, Thank God. In Italy, if
- 55:05Speaker 4: you're going to have a sign in like Chinese, it
- 55:08Speaker 4: has to be an Italian first, Chinese second. You can't
- 55:11Speaker 4: have any public signs that are just in a foreign language.
- 55:15Speaker 2: In Italy.
- 55:16Speaker 4: That's a good thing.
- 55:17Speaker 2: It makes sense. And by the way, all the Western countries,
- 55:20Speaker 2: the European countries that used to have birthright citizenship, like France,
- 55:23Speaker 2: Great Britain, Ireland, they all got rid of it. It's
- 55:26Speaker 2: got it Italy. It was never a fact, right.
- 55:29Speaker 4: Never a fact. Ken I was going for my dual
- 55:32Speaker 4: citizenship a number of years ago. I had a jump
- 55:36Speaker 4: through hoops. I had to show that my grandparents came
- 55:41Speaker 4: here before a certain date, this, that and the other.
- 55:44Speaker 4: You have to jump through hoops. And I had to
- 55:48Speaker 4: show that I was, you know, Italian of Italian origin.
- 55:53Speaker 4: Now that's not the case. Come here, have a baby,
- 55:56Speaker 4: game the system, get welfare, food stamps, whatever you want,
- 56:00Speaker 4: and don't worry the suckers down the block, the Americans. Uh,
- 56:04Speaker 4: they'll pay for Vincent.
- 56:05Speaker 2: If you had come here and you had a baby,
- 56:07Speaker 2: I would have scratched my head. Hey, I love you,
- 56:12Speaker 2: wanna fast. I enjoy your Fourth of July. Happy Independence Day?
- 56:15Speaker 4: Okay day, thank you?
- 56:18Speaker 2: All right, have a great take care Joe at Elwood Park.
- 56:22Speaker 2: We got about thirty seconds left.
- 56:23Speaker 12: Good morning right on Ken, Good morning, can't good morning
- 56:26Speaker 12: right right on?
- 56:27Speaker 2: Vincent.
- 56:28Speaker 12: Oh and like Vincent pointed out with the with the gas,
- 56:31Speaker 12: that gas was refined six months ago. The oil company
- 56:36Speaker 12: is not a Republican or Democrat thing. This is the
- 56:41Speaker 12: gougers and the oil companies. They're there, prostitutes, Yeah, they're there.
- 56:45Speaker 2: They're gas futures. People buy, they invest in gas futures,
- 56:48Speaker 2: and that's what makes the prices gone.
- 56:49Speaker 12: I had a gas ation for sixty years. This goes
- 56:52Speaker 12: back to the original. Uh, there never was a gas shors.
- 56:55Speaker 2: It was just to get the price correct. And I'm
- 56:57Speaker 2: sure your uncle made three cents a gallon on that
- 56:59Speaker 2: gas on the station, right. They they don't make a
- 57:01Speaker 2: big profit.
- 57:02Speaker 4: On that right.
- 57:04Speaker 2: One time? Ye Ken, Hey Joe, I appreciate it. Happy
- 57:07Speaker 2: independence they my friend, Thank you very much. All Right,
- 57:11Speaker 2: it is Thursday, Ken Rosato and from Mark. Coming up
- 57:13Speaker 2: on our next staffire, we'll talk with Brandon digital strategist
- 57:16Speaker 2: Fisher about Meta's big new push into cloud computing and
- 57:20Speaker 2: what it means for you.
- 57:21Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on seven ten Wi
- 57:25Speaker 1: Ben from Mark Today, Here's Ken Rosotto.
- 57:29Speaker 6: Ed, good to be with you.
- 57:30Speaker 2: We go to the phone right now we talk about
- 57:33Speaker 2: Wall Street. Wall Street is cheering Meta's big new push
- 57:37Speaker 2: into cloud computing, even as the move could mean lower
- 57:39Speaker 2: profit margins. And SpaceX is taking artificial intelligence to literal
- 57:44Speaker 2: new heights, and that is because of its new orbital
- 57:47Speaker 2: AI computer satellite called AI one. Let us speak to
- 57:51Speaker 2: brand and digital strategist Fisher. He could be found on
- 57:54Speaker 2: X and threads at Fisher and at his website Fisher
- 57:57Speaker 2: dot Media.
- 57:57Speaker 3: Good morning Fisher, Good morning Ken.
- 57:59Speaker 2: How are you doing well? So to talk about spacextion
- 58:02Speaker 2: artificial intelligence. We hear so much about AI and what
- 58:05Speaker 2: is this new orbital AI computer satellite.
- 58:08Speaker 13: Yeah, it's the first satellite designed exclusively for running AI
- 58:13Speaker 13: in orbit, not for Internet like their starlink, but for
- 58:16Speaker 13: the high power computing as it floats thirty seven hundred
- 58:20Speaker 13: miles above the Earth. So with traditional terrestrial I guess
- 58:24Speaker 13: traditional is a loose word here, but terrestrial data centers.
- 58:28Speaker 13: You hear the problems with power grids and cooling water
- 58:31Speaker 13: in space, you don't have power problems, right, constant sunlight
- 58:34Speaker 13: for free twenty four to seven solar power and then
- 58:36Speaker 13: the radiate of cooling in the vacuum in space, no
- 58:40Speaker 13: water or massive chillers are needed. So Elon Musk says
- 58:44Speaker 13: the AI one is easier to build. It's just a
- 58:48Speaker 13: basic large solar array, big radiator for heat, laser links
- 58:54Speaker 13: for data. That's how they would shoot the data back
- 58:56Speaker 13: to Earth and then swappable modules that I guess SpaceX
- 59:01Speaker 13: can go up there and just swap out.
- 59:03Speaker 3: I don't know the pieces of it if needed, but
- 59:06Speaker 3: it's just the first.
- 59:07Speaker 13: SpaceX aims for a massive network, potentially up to a
- 59:10Speaker 13: million satellites that could deliver gigawatts of AI capacity using
- 59:14Speaker 13: starship launches starting around twenty twenty eight, So that's pretty
- 59:18Speaker 13: pretty close.
- 59:19Speaker 2: So experts to debate, I'd be a step on your
- 59:21Speaker 2: Fisher Steph Er. I just want to back up per second.
- 59:24Speaker 2: So all the local communities, like I know in New
- 59:26Speaker 2: Jersey there are communities showing up at city council meetings
- 59:28Speaker 2: protesting AI centers being built. That could all be a
- 59:31Speaker 2: thing of the past. This potentially would solve all the
- 59:35Speaker 2: problems because you're not talking about building an AI center
- 59:38Speaker 2: that would take up a ton of land, that would
- 59:40Speaker 2: take up all the electricity from the area, and that
- 59:42Speaker 2: would you'd have to tap into a river to cool
- 59:45Speaker 2: everything off. That could all be done in space and
- 59:47Speaker 2: you would never know the difference on the ground, correct.
- 59:50Speaker 13: And I mean we've talked about different ways that companies
- 59:53Speaker 13: are going about this, creating smaller sort of AI data
- 59:57Speaker 13: centers that could be attached to houses and you get
- 1:00:00Speaker 13: paid for the use of your internet and your electricity.
- 1:00:02Speaker 13: So yeah, this is part of the diversification. I assume
- 1:00:05Speaker 13: as we become more reliant on data centers overall, not
- 1:00:10Speaker 13: just for AI but just in general, that this will
- 1:00:13Speaker 13: be helpful, but will probably need more, sadly than a
- 1:00:16Speaker 13: million satellites.
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: To do this.
- 1:00:18Speaker 13: Plus also, if you think about it, it puts those
- 1:00:20Speaker 13: satellites in range of other countries that might want to
- 1:00:24Speaker 13: do damage to the United States or do damage to infrastructure.
- 1:00:28Speaker 13: It allows, you know, it kind of puts it out there, so,
- 1:00:31Speaker 13: you know, I think this is a way to, as
- 1:00:34Speaker 13: your point, you know, get away from the local municipalities
- 1:00:38Speaker 13: having to deal with data centers.
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: But I don't think it's a complete solution.
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: So now we talked briefly here about Meta and their
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: big push into cloud computing. But it could mean lower
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: profit margins.
- 1:00:47Speaker 13: Why would that be because they're currently ninety eight percent
- 1:00:51Speaker 13: of their revenue is on advertising, and that is about
- 1:00:55Speaker 13: an eighty two percent gross margin based on you know,
- 1:00:59Speaker 13: the the what they have to do in order to
- 1:01:01Speaker 13: put advertising on their platforms. But Google Cloud Google Cloud
- 1:01:05Speaker 13: for example, operates at an eighteen percent margin. Because you
- 1:01:09Speaker 13: have all the data centers, you have the computers, you
- 1:01:11Speaker 13: have you know whatever, people, the electricity, the water, all that,
- 1:01:15Speaker 13: so the margins are much lower. But Wall Street was
- 1:01:18Speaker 13: happy about it yesterday stocks for Meta. Shares for Meta
- 1:01:21Speaker 13: went up nine percent yesterday. They're down four percent today.
- 1:01:24Speaker 13: But it's exciting because also this will be a way
- 1:01:27Speaker 13: for them to offset expenses. CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants to
- 1:01:32Speaker 13: sell the excess computing power to external customers and again
- 1:01:37Speaker 13: cloud computing like Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services.
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: That's so being able to use Meta's compute.
- 1:01:45Speaker 13: Power to you know, have your websites hosted, things like that,
- 1:01:48Speaker 13: but also offer access to AI models, just again as
- 1:01:52Speaker 13: a way to monetize their AI infrastructure. They spend billions
- 1:01:56Speaker 13: in I mean Meta, all of them do, but Meta
- 1:01:59Speaker 13: spends billions of dollars per year on AI. So this
- 1:02:03Speaker 13: sort of will help them offset some of the costs.
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: So by having lower profit margins, will they just make
- 1:02:08Speaker 2: up for it in terms of quantity because they'll have
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: so many millions of people using the service. Yeah, I
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: mean it's possible a lot of companies will use it.
- 1:02:17Speaker 13: But again, what this does and what Wall Street and
- 1:02:19Speaker 13: I didn't dig into either down four percent today, but
- 1:02:22Speaker 13: it does instead of investors knowing that, you know, ninety
- 1:02:27Speaker 13: eight percent of the revenue currently is with advertising and
- 1:02:30Speaker 13: it has a you know, certain up and down. Now
- 1:02:34Speaker 13: that you add this you know, kind of third piece
- 1:02:37Speaker 13: into it, or kind of a third party if you will,
- 1:02:39Speaker 13: of the computing power, not knowing it what it can do,
- 1:02:43Speaker 13: that really will change the way that investors look at
- 1:02:46Speaker 13: Meta and it you know, because it won't be ninety
- 1:02:49Speaker 13: eight percent of the revenue on advertising. Now you're going
- 1:02:51Speaker 13: to be a certain percent off using excess computing power,
- 1:02:56Speaker 13: offering access to AI models, you know. So it changed
- 1:03:00Speaker 13: it up a bit, and Wall Street will react accordingly.
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: I think a lot of maybe Wall Street being down
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: four percent. That's likely because a lot of people are
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: on vacation already. Today is the day that a lot
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: of people escape, and so it's very possible that just
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: not as many traders there. And then tomorrow, I think
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: is a national holiday, and as it's the recognized national holiday,
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: so I believe all the financial centers are closed. So
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: there have it. They've all they've all escaped town already,
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: and they're not thinking about investments right now. Well, I
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: guess they're always thinking about investments, aren't they. They just
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: don't actually trade on these days there with the families
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: in the in the station wagon. Do people still have
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: station wagons now? They don't, do they? I'm showing my
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: age very quickly. Where do you see this going with
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: cloud computing? Will there even be memory chips in phones
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: and whatnot in the future or will everything be on
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: the cloud in a.
- 1:03:49Speaker 13: Way A lot of things are on the cloud already.
- 1:03:51Speaker 13: If you use Google, you know, try to access your
- 1:03:52Speaker 13: calendar or your Gmail when your computer's down or your
- 1:03:56Speaker 13: phone's offline. You don't have seal service. I mean a
- 1:03:58Speaker 13: lot of things are going to the cloud. Yes, your
- 1:04:01Speaker 13: phones might be more reliant on the cloud. There still
- 1:04:04Speaker 13: will be storage locally because you need to have some
- 1:04:07Speaker 13: of that even to process the data from the cloud.
- 1:04:10Speaker 13: But yeah, it'll be interesting to see how far we
- 1:04:13Speaker 13: go where you know, do your lights.
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: Work if your internet doesn't. Yeah, it's gonna be dicey.
- 1:04:18Speaker 13: It's not it's not great in thinking about it, but
- 1:04:21Speaker 13: you know, and also in terms of jobs, I know,
- 1:04:23Speaker 13: that's you know, a big discussion that's been happening for
- 1:04:26Speaker 13: months and into years now. Companies are realizing that maybe
- 1:04:30Speaker 13: they cut too much for AI and are hiring people back.
- 1:04:33Speaker 13: So you know, I think that you know, maybe the
- 1:04:35Speaker 13: pendulum will swing the other way and they they realize
- 1:04:37Speaker 13: that they do need folks. And also that having everything
- 1:04:40Speaker 13: in the cloud and not you know, not everybody has
- 1:04:42Speaker 13: high speed internet. There is the middle of the country
- 1:04:45Speaker 13: or poorer parts of the New York State or Jersey
- 1:04:48Speaker 13: or you know, Long Island, that people don't have fiber
- 1:04:51Speaker 13: or you know, a cable internet, so you know they
- 1:04:56Speaker 13: have to account for that as well.
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely a lot of places. And all you need
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: is to have a big storm come through your area
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: here in the Tribe State and wipe out your electricity
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: and your internet for a few hours, and you quickly
- 1:05:07Speaker 2: discover because remember you still need power to run the
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: cell towers and whatnot. Yeah right, I mean I just
- 1:05:12Speaker 2: saw New York. I know you're in it, everybody's in it.
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: But you know, it can get so much that it
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: overwhelms the systems and they shut down. Then you're without
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: power and without internet and without access to certain things.
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: And that's where a lot of people, I mean, ask
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: anybody who works from home. They know what happens when
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: the internet goes down. You're trying to work, you can't.
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: You just sit there and hope Microsoft Teams doesn't come back.
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: That's why Elon is hoping everybody will switch over to
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: Starlink at one point. All right, brand and.
- 1:05:37Speaker 13: Digital he is We could talk about this next time,
- 1:05:39Speaker 13: but he is delving into the cellular world.
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: Oh heck he is, Yes, he is.
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: I know.
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: I T Mobile already has that as the backup wherever
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: they don't have cell service. Right, that's the option offered
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: right now. It's amazing. Brand and digital strategist Fisher found
- 1:05:53Speaker 2: on X and threads at at Fisher or at his
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: website Fisher dot Media. Thanks for coming on this morning,
- 1:05:59Speaker 2: sir Banks. Ken, have a great day you two and

- 1:06:29Speaker 2: So nice to be with you on a Thursday. We
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: go straight to our busy phones. Jack in Wisconsin, good morning,
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: you're on the Marx Simone Show.
- 1:06:36Speaker 6: Hey, Ken, you're doing a great job for Mark.
- 1:06:38Speaker 4: Hey.
- 1:06:39Speaker 6: I got a kind of a thought of all this
- 1:06:41Speaker 6: anchor baby situation. I hope that a president Trump can't
- 1:06:45Speaker 6: get this resolved with Congress, that he could look at
- 1:06:49Speaker 6: it as a national security issue because these people they
- 1:06:52Speaker 6: come over here and they have those babies, and how
- 1:06:54Speaker 6: they've had a million of them already or whatever the
- 1:06:57Speaker 6: number is. What's to stop them from coming back in
- 1:07:01Speaker 6: thirty thirty five years and running for president. The way
- 1:07:04Speaker 6: these Democrats are going, socialists, they definitely back a socialist
- 1:07:09Speaker 6: Chinese person. I mean, if he can't get them to
- 1:07:13Speaker 6: do away with the anchor baby, they should have some
- 1:07:15Speaker 6: kind of clause and they're where, if you're going to
- 1:07:17Speaker 6: hold government office, you should have to have lived in
- 1:07:20Speaker 6: this country for I don't know, three quarters of your
- 1:07:22Speaker 6: life before you could run for public office or something.
- 1:07:25Speaker 6: If you're you can be you can be a citizen
- 1:07:28Speaker 6: because you were born here. But to be president, I
- 1:07:31Speaker 6: mean that shouldn't be a You should have lived here
- 1:07:33Speaker 6: one hundred percent of your life.
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: So you're westernized, you would think, and you would think
- 1:07:37Speaker 2: that just by virtue of your story, it would disqualify you.
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: But with the crazies that we have in this country today,
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: because socialists have literally infiltrated our universities and indoctrinated our students,
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: you have one or two generations of kids who think
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: it's just fine. Yeah, America sucks. America was founded on
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: lies and evil. When you indoctrinate kids with that and
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: they think, oh, well, these intelligent, informed people will say this,
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: so it must be true. And this is where they
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: come up and you try to tell them the opposite,
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: and they think, well, you're just an idiot. You don't
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: understand these professors are telling us this. Then this is
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: what they are spewing. Once they get into society and
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: they get out of school, they think they know what's
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: right and that's it, and they are fine with somebody
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: who is not born and raised in America coming in
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: and running things. And that's how you lose our democratic republic.
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: You know what's amazing, Jack. There are people who have
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: said already this could be remedied with one quick fix
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: with Congress that the definition of subject to the what
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: is it subject to the jurisdiction thereof That's the line
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: in the fourteenth Amendment that was debated at the Supreme Court.
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: One of the ways the Supreme Court interpreted it. Well,
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: the way they interpreted it is when you're born in
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: the United States, you are subject to the jurisdiction of
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: the laws of the United States, but it's never been
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: clearly stated in the Constitution what that means. So several
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: constitutional experts have said, as long as Congress comes up
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: and defines what subject to the jurisdiction thereof means that
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: that could fix the problem. So we'll see if we
- 1:09:07Speaker 2: get the experts to figure it out. But you know,
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: years ago you would have had a constitutional convention to
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: fix it already, but the Democrats won't have anything to
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: do with that. Jack in Wisconsin, thank you so much
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: for the calling. Happy Independence Day, and Mark will be
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: back in this seat on Monday. In the meantime, I'm
