- 0:05Speaker 1: filling in for Mark, here's Ken rosetto.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Well, Hello, Hello, Hello, Marcus off in a nice long weekend,
- 0:11Speaker 2: Former New York City TV news anchor Ken rosetto reporting
- 0:15Speaker 2: for duty as I stand in salute. Good to have
- 0:17Speaker 2: you all with me, and good to be here. Thank
- 0:20Speaker 2: you to warrant to our dear friend Mark Simone for
- 0:23Speaker 2: let me sit here. You probably best remember me from
- 0:26Speaker 2: twenty years they spent over at Channel seven. I anchored
- 0:28Speaker 2: the morning show and for a good chunk of those
- 0:30Speaker 2: years the noon show. I was at Channel five before that,
- 0:32Speaker 2: And these days I'm over a channel in New Jersey,
- 0:35Speaker 2: a TV channel called on New Jersey, and you can
- 0:37Speaker 2: stream it live or watch the reruns at o NNJ
- 0:40Speaker 2: dot com ONNJ dot com. Hope you check that out
- 0:43Speaker 2: some time. But good to be here at wor today. Juneteenth,
- 0:47Speaker 2: of course, commemorating June nineteenth, eighteen sixty five. A lot
- 0:51Speaker 2: of people say, oh, juneteenth, Juneteenth. They don't know the
- 0:53Speaker 2: history of it, And when you think about it, this
- 0:56Speaker 2: is a totally messed up story in that you had
- 1:00Speaker 2: the Emancipation Proclamation in eighteen sixty three freeing slaves right
- 1:04Speaker 2: around the country, and yet they kept it a little
- 1:07Speaker 2: bit of a secret. We didn't have the internet, we
- 1:09Speaker 2: didn't have social media, we didn't have TV in radio,
- 1:12Speaker 2: so they kept it a little secret from many, many
- 1:15Speaker 2: thousands of people in Texas who continue to believe they
- 1:20Speaker 2: were enslaved for another two plus years. Can you imagine
- 1:24Speaker 2: having two plus years of their lives taken away from
- 1:27Speaker 2: them when they were now free, and they didn't know
- 1:31Speaker 2: until it was brought to town, until the general came
- 1:34Speaker 2: in and said, hello, you people should have been told
- 1:37Speaker 2: you were free over two years ago. So the slaves
- 1:40Speaker 2: in Texas thought they were still enslaved until this date,
- 1:44Speaker 2: June nineteenth, eighteen sixty five, when thankfully every state in
- 1:48Speaker 2: the United States finally made it publicly known that slavery
- 1:52Speaker 2: was abolished, illegal and never again to be part of
- 1:55Speaker 2: the stain of America. But that's why it celebrated. I
- 2:00Speaker 2: st you know, was was I understand June teenth was
- 2:03Speaker 2: a contraction of June and nineteenth. Then I raised my
- 2:06Speaker 2: hand in school once and I said, Okay, why couldn't
- 2:09Speaker 2: that have been a contraction of June thirteenth or fourteenth
- 2:11Speaker 2: or fifteenth or sixteenth. Why is juneteenth automatically to be
- 2:15Speaker 2: assumed it's June nineteenth.
- 2:16Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Maybe I'm just a weirdo. I guess I am. But nonetheless,
- 2:20Speaker 2: it is a good thing that we have the freedom
- 2:23Speaker 2: for all people who were enslaved in this country, African
- 2:27Speaker 2: Americans who were enslaved in Texas until this date eighteen
- 2:30Speaker 2: sixty five. Thankfully, from that point on, slavery was illegal.
- 2:34Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that all the problems were solved, but
- 2:37Speaker 2: slavery at least was illegal. A lot to talk about today.
- 2:40Speaker 2: On top of that, phone lines are open. We'd love
- 2:42Speaker 2: to hear from you at eight hundred three to two
- 2:44Speaker 2: one zero seven ten eight hundred three two one zero
- 2:48Speaker 2: seven ten. I have been wanting for a few days
- 2:50Speaker 2: to congratulate our dear friend Mark Simone. He was awarded
- 2:54Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six Gold Standard in Broadcasting Award by
- 2:59Speaker 2: the Die of Talk Radio Circles. Barrett Media. I mean
- 3:03Speaker 2: Barrett Media is when it comes to talk radio, that
- 3:06Speaker 2: is all we talk about. It's Barrett Media. So for
- 3:09Speaker 2: them to award anything to somebody, you have to be
- 3:13Speaker 2: very special, and we all know your listeners. As I am.
- 3:16Speaker 2: I'm a fan of Wowar and I love my Mark
- 3:18Speaker 2: Simone show every day, and he just deserves it. I
- 3:22Speaker 2: just don't know another talk radio host on the planet
- 3:25Speaker 2: who deserves having that award more than Mark Simone. So congratulations, buddy,
- 3:31Speaker 2: that's awesome. Okay, today we got to talk about the
- 3:34Speaker 2: US Iran deal. The more we hear about it, the
- 3:36Speaker 2: more questions we ask. As Mark would say, he would
- 3:40Speaker 2: say that I agree with the on that because every
- 3:43Speaker 2: minute it seems to be changing. We've been told one
- 3:46Speaker 2: hundred and seventy two thousand times by the administration it's
- 3:49Speaker 2: a done deal. It's done, it's all done. We got there.
- 3:52Speaker 2: We just have to do the technical. All of a sudden,
- 3:55Speaker 2: in my mind, I became gosh, no, I'm forgetting his saying,
- 3:59Speaker 2: what was the great comedian? Oh my gosh, I had
- 4:03Speaker 2: his name on the tip of my tongue two seconds ago.
- 4:06Speaker 2: He used to talk like this. He was a comedian.
- 4:08Speaker 2: He was also a canter. Somebody call in and tell me,
- 4:10Speaker 2: remind me. But I can imagine him doing one minute
- 4:13Speaker 2: we have it, one minute, we don't have it. One minute.
- 4:15Speaker 2: There's a deal, there's not a deal. It's a great deal.
- 4:17Speaker 2: It's a terrible deal. But that is what's going on here.
- 4:22Speaker 2: We have as of just an hour and a half ago,
- 4:24Speaker 2: two hours ago, now Iran saying the straight of hor
- 4:26Speaker 2: moves is closed again. Really, well, what about the threat
- 4:29Speaker 2: that we're going to bomb you into non existence if
- 4:33Speaker 2: you don't follow the rules. So now we got to
- 4:36Speaker 2: see what the US is gonna do. Apparently Vice President Vance,
- 4:39Speaker 2: who's going to fly to Geneva Sunday and work out
- 4:43Speaker 2: the minutia, the technical details of the truth of ceasefire,
- 4:47Speaker 2: if you will, with Iran. It was announced first that
- 4:51Speaker 2: he was not going, and everybody got suspicious, like what's
- 4:54Speaker 2: going on? Why is he not going? And now Iran
- 4:55Speaker 2: announced that they are reclosing the straight of horror moves
- 5:01Speaker 2: because they say that Israel is refusing to leave Lebanon
- 5:05Speaker 2: and because of the presence of US forces in the region. Well, listen, Iran,
- 5:11Speaker 2: the US forces are going to be in the region
- 5:13Speaker 2: until we see that you stay on your game and
- 5:16Speaker 2: as opposed or other when it comes to Israel and Lebanon. Well,
- 5:20Speaker 2: that's that's something that of course can be discussed, but
- 5:24Speaker 2: you cannot single handedly and one sidedly we close the
- 5:27Speaker 2: straight of hormos. I would say that at that point
- 5:30Speaker 2: the president needs to respond in some way seriously. And
- 5:35Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but I have a lot
- 5:36Speaker 2: of friends who are saying, you know, Pooper, get off
- 5:39Speaker 2: the pot when it comes to Iran. If they continue
- 5:42Speaker 2: stringing us along, just get it over with. Just find
- 5:46Speaker 2: where the Mullas are again and put a bunk or
- 5:49Speaker 2: buster right on top of them and say, Okay, enough
- 5:52Speaker 2: of you, I'm done, enough of this nonsense. Stops stringing
- 5:55Speaker 2: us along. I know the President does not want to
- 5:57Speaker 2: hurt any other people, and I'm with you, President, I'm
- 6:00Speaker 2: with you. He doesn't want to kill people. He doesn't
- 6:03Speaker 2: want innocent Iranians dying. They have nothing to do with this.
- 6:07Speaker 2: This is all about the Mullahs, the sick lunatics who
- 6:11Speaker 2: are in charge of that country. Iran is a great country,
- 6:14Speaker 2: full of very good people, and they don't have guns.
- 6:17Speaker 2: This is what happens when you don't have a Second Amendment.
- 6:19Speaker 2: They don't have guns. They can't defend themselves. If they
- 6:22Speaker 2: go to speak publicly in the street, they risk getting arrested,
- 6:26Speaker 2: court martial shot. They're equivalent of a court martial, which
- 6:29Speaker 2: is like same day, you're arrested, shot. That's it done.
- 6:33Speaker 2: You know, do you want to risk that? So they're
- 6:35Speaker 2: terrified to come out and protest. It's not like you know,
- 6:37Speaker 2: when we protested years ago. You came out in the street.
- 6:40Speaker 2: If anything, you had a fistfight, maybe somebody. It took
- 6:43Speaker 2: you like thirty seconds to load a musket. But now
- 6:47Speaker 2: it's you know, you go out and I run, and
- 6:48Speaker 2: you speak out and you're dead. That's it. So this
- 6:52Speaker 2: is a problem. I think at this point the president
- 6:55Speaker 2: needs to to have some kind of action that makes
- 6:57Speaker 2: it very clear that we are not going to take
- 7:00Speaker 2: this anymore. So we'll see what happens with that. The
- 7:03Speaker 2: Obama Presidential Center officially opened that includes the Barack Obama
- 7:08Speaker 2: Presidential Library. Now, I don't know if you saw yesterday,
- 7:12Speaker 2: you saw the celebration. The music, by the way, was
- 7:15Speaker 2: off the chain, off the chart, sickly great. It was
- 7:18Speaker 2: just amazing music. It was a great celebration. And I
- 7:21Speaker 2: don't care where you stand on President Obama President Trump.
- 7:26Speaker 2: My attitude about it is this. I don't agree with
- 7:28Speaker 2: probably ninety percent of what President Obama stands for politically,
- 7:33Speaker 2: all right, but I respect him because he was the
- 7:35Speaker 2: president of the United States, my country. I respect that.
- 7:40Speaker 2: Maybe I'm part of a dying breed that still respects
- 7:43Speaker 2: the president. You could criticize him. I think you should
- 7:47Speaker 2: criticize him. And it's okay to criticize President Trump if
- 7:50Speaker 2: you are on the left, do so all you want.
- 7:53Speaker 2: But you could do so without threatening someone's life. You
- 7:56Speaker 2: could do so without saying I hate America. You could
- 7:59Speaker 2: do so with out getting into fisticuffs with people and
- 8:02Speaker 2: throwing paint on their car and breaking windows. You can
- 8:05Speaker 2: protest without being an ass, okay. And I enjoyed watching
- 8:12Speaker 2: the celebration of the opening of the Barack Obama Presidential Library,
- 8:16Speaker 2: and your darn bet, when I'm in Chicago, I will
- 8:18Speaker 2: go there. Because he was the president of the United States.
- 8:21Speaker 2: I would love to go there, and I hope people
- 8:24Speaker 2: on the left would also love to go to the
- 8:26Speaker 2: Reagan Library because he was the president of the United States.
- 8:29Speaker 2: You could go there with your kids and say, here's
- 8:31Speaker 2: why we disagree. That's okay, but that's part of Americana.
- 8:35Speaker 2: It's part of our history. You can go and disagree,
- 8:39Speaker 2: but just be respectful. That's it. That's all I think
- 8:43Speaker 2: we all should ask for. As Americans and all the
- 8:46Speaker 2: musicians who went and performed, God bless you. That was great.
- 8:49Speaker 2: You did great. But then don't boycott Republican events. It's
- 8:53Speaker 2: okay if you want to politely say ah, I really can't,
- 8:56Speaker 2: but then to publicly come out and say I won't
- 8:58Speaker 2: go there and mother, but that's where you take it
- 9:00Speaker 2: to the next level. The guy is the president. He
- 9:03Speaker 2: was elected by a majority of US citizens. Okay, a majority,
- 9:08Speaker 2: not a plurality, a majority. Have that tiny bit of respect.
- 9:13Speaker 2: You don't have to agree with anything he stands for.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Have the respect for the office, and show up if
- 9:18Speaker 2: he invites you. That's like, I'm just glad the Knicks
- 9:21Speaker 2: are going to the White House and celebrating. And speaking
- 9:24Speaker 2: of which, there's the perfect segue. Two million people packing
- 9:28Speaker 2: Lower Manhattan for the huge Knicks championship celebration. How awesome
- 9:32Speaker 2: was that? Considering all the people who were jammed in,
- 9:37Speaker 2: there were only a dozen arrests, which is pretty amazing.
- 9:40Speaker 2: And that speaks to how effective the commissioner is. Commissioner
- 9:44Speaker 2: Tish and the NYPD is just the best in the world.
- 9:48Speaker 2: They just are. There's no police force on the planet
- 9:51Speaker 2: that can do with the NYPD can do but one
- 9:54Speaker 2: thing to keep an eye on Mayor Zorn Mamdani and
- 9:59Speaker 2: his popular way of presenting himself, his popularity among the
- 10:04Speaker 2: young and the great masses of New Yorkers. Did you
- 10:08Speaker 2: hear him speak yesterday? Did it not feel a bit
- 10:10Speaker 2: like a campaign speech? I don't know if you if
- 10:13Speaker 2: you heard him speaking, but I will hear he was.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Here's a moment.
- 10:17Speaker 4: This is our city, this is our team. For fifty
- 10:21Speaker 4: three years, we watched for fifty three years.
- 10:24Speaker 5: We waited. Now we've won.
- 10:30Speaker 4: One last time, New York saying with me Nixon.
- 10:35Speaker 2: I mean he has his finger on the pulse, the
- 10:38Speaker 2: populist pulse of New York, and he is able to
- 10:42Speaker 2: act like a I don't know, like a shiny object
- 10:44Speaker 2: off to the right, getting your attention over to his
- 10:46Speaker 2: right hand, while with his left hand he's doing nefarious
- 10:49Speaker 2: things to the city in terms of the way we're
- 10:51Speaker 2: being run, the tax hikes or the desire for tax hikes,
- 10:56Speaker 2: the horrible climate for companies, major corporations in the city.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Treating people who have achieved by their hard work and
- 11:06Speaker 2: their great ideas, they've achieved wealth in this city, and
- 11:08Speaker 2: treating them like garbage and like criminals and at the
- 11:11Speaker 2: same time not punishing criminals for doing their deeds. This
- 11:15Speaker 2: is the man who was elected mayor of the city.
- 11:18Speaker 2: And then he gets up there and he puts on
- 11:19Speaker 2: the charming smile. And by the way, he is a
- 11:22Speaker 2: master of accents. This is a phony accent people. I'm
- 11:27Speaker 2: a fanatic about accents. I can do them, but when
- 11:29Speaker 2: I do them, certain people, certain groups take offense and
- 11:32Speaker 2: think I'm mocking. I'm not mocking. I can speak seven
- 11:35Speaker 2: languages fluently and I can do accents insanely well. And
- 11:39Speaker 2: when I do a mamdanti accent, people think I'm mocking
- 11:42Speaker 2: people who are Indian and I'm not. I'm not. I'm
- 11:45Speaker 2: just able to emulate the sound. Years ago, you had
- 11:47Speaker 2: impressionists and everybody thought it was great. Today it's like, oh,
- 11:50Speaker 2: you are mocking this group of people. No, I'm not
- 11:52Speaker 2: stop it. But the bottom line is he is that accent.
- 11:57Speaker 2: You hear is him emulating a New Yorker. You will
- 12:00Speaker 2: catch video of him, go on YouTube. You'll hear him
- 12:03Speaker 2: speaking in his own cultural accent, okay, with an Indian
- 12:07Speaker 2: sound that makes it almost unintelligible, as you know, coming
- 12:10Speaker 2: from a New York perspective with sound, and then when
- 12:14Speaker 2: he speaks with a group of Spanish speakers, he goes
- 12:17Speaker 2: into a Spanish accent. He is the ultimate chameleon. He
- 12:22Speaker 2: could mesh in with any group and make them think
- 12:25Speaker 2: that he is part of them. Meanwhile, he is a
- 12:28Speaker 2: millionaire kid who had a silver spoon in his mouth,
- 12:31Speaker 2: raised by super wealthy elitist parents, and yet he tries
- 12:37Speaker 2: to make it look like he is just a kid
- 12:39Speaker 2: from the streets of New York, rolling up his sleeves
- 12:42Speaker 2: and playing basketball pickup ball with people. No, no, no,
- 12:45Speaker 2: no, no no. This kid came here when he was a kid.
- 12:47Speaker 2: He was already was born in Northern Africa to Indian parents,
- 12:52Speaker 2: and he is he is not an American by birth.
- 12:56Speaker 2: He became an American later naturalized. But this man is
- 13:00Speaker 2: the ultimate comeleon. Keep an eye on him. My friend Earl,
- 13:05Speaker 2: who was my we text day and night. He is
- 13:08Speaker 2: my conservative soulmate, if you will. He's a former cop.
- 13:15Speaker 2: He's up in Putnam County and he and he texted
- 13:18Speaker 2: to me yesterday mark my words in our lifetimes that
- 13:23Speaker 2: man will become president of the United States. And at
- 13:26Speaker 2: first I tell him, Nah, you're crazy, and it sent
- 13:29Speaker 2: chills up my spine. But his words may have some truth.
- 13:33Speaker 2: When you look at the number of Democratic socialists who
- 13:37Speaker 2: are duping the youth in this country, making them think
- 13:40Speaker 2: that they are just another flavor of the Democrat party.
- 13:43Speaker 2: It's terrifying and Democrats need to do something about this
- 13:46Speaker 2: because they won't listen to conservatives. Democrats need to do
- 13:50Speaker 2: something to wake people up. There was there was a
- 13:53Speaker 2: Dana Perino on Fox News the other day talking about
- 13:57Speaker 2: the fact that when young kids surveyed recently in a
- 14:01Speaker 2: survey they they were asked if they like democratic socialism,
- 14:05Speaker 2: and at least it was a plurality, if not a
- 14:07Speaker 2: majority of kids under twenty five. Younger people under twenty
- 14:11Speaker 2: five said yes, they support democratic socialism and all it
- 14:14Speaker 2: stands for. And then in the next breath, the question
- 14:17Speaker 2: was do you believe in people's rights to own their
- 14:20Speaker 2: own homes? And more than the original numbers said absolutely.
- 14:26Speaker 2: So these idiots do not even understand what socialism is.
- 14:30Speaker 2: Under socialism, you don't own your own home, you don't
- 14:32Speaker 2: own any property. All property is it's part of the state.
- 14:38Speaker 2: You are apportioned something to each according to his ability.
- 14:42Speaker 2: It's at or his own. It is part of socialism,
- 14:46Speaker 2: is part of the collective. You don't own anything individually.
- 14:50Speaker 2: You don't have a house, and at any time the
- 14:52Speaker 2: government can say you you're living in that apartment, you're gone.
- 14:54Speaker 2: My friend Eleana used to be she was born and
- 14:56Speaker 2: raised in Cuba, and she was an anchor with me
- 14:59Speaker 2: when I were at the CBS television station in Miami
- 15:03Speaker 2: years ago, and she told me these horror stories when
- 15:07Speaker 2: she was a teenager, how in the middle of the night,
- 15:09Speaker 2: her dad was a doctor, she had a brother, and
- 15:12Speaker 2: she and her mom, middle of the night, knock at
- 15:15Speaker 2: the door. It was like two o'clock in the morning.
- 15:17Speaker 2: They opened the door, there's a bunch of military members
- 15:20Speaker 2: guns and they said, you're coming with us to her father.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Why because they were living in Havana and they needed
- 15:25Speaker 2: doctors in Santiago de Cuba, which is on the other
- 15:28Speaker 2: side of Cuba. Now this is just after Castro took over.
- 15:31Speaker 2: So they kidnapped her father, took him to the other
- 15:34Speaker 2: side of the island at gunpoint, and then took Iliana,
- 15:37Speaker 2: her brother, and her mother out of their home that
- 15:40Speaker 2: they had worked hard for to buy, confiscated it turned
- 15:44Speaker 2: it into military barracks for the communists for the Castro regime,
- 15:49Speaker 2: and then put Iliana, her brother, her mother into an
- 15:52Speaker 2: apartment that had three bedrooms to be shared with two
- 15:54Speaker 2: other families, so each family was given a bedroom to
- 15:57Speaker 2: live in. So it was sort of a way to
- 16:00Speaker 2: the heart achievements of the doctor father that she had,
- 16:04Speaker 2: who earned a home. No, no, no, we're going to
- 16:06Speaker 2: take that away from you, and we're going to put
- 16:09Speaker 2: you in an apartment with two other stranger families and
- 16:12Speaker 2: you're going to live together, because this is now the
- 16:15Speaker 2: new Cuba. That's what communism is, and that's what the
- 16:19Speaker 2: socialist democrat concept is, just flowered up a little bit
- 16:23Speaker 2: to make you think it's a good thing, that it's justice.
- 16:26Speaker 2: It isn't justice, it's criminality. And it can't continue in
- 16:30Speaker 2: this country. It's very dangerous. How are were going to
- 16:33Speaker 2: take your calls? At eight hundred three to two to

- 18:01Speaker 6: We're going to loader the money for a couple of
- 18:03Speaker 6: other countries and it's gonna wind up in their hands.
- 18:07Speaker 6: Why are we paying to rebuild their infrastructure? Iran was
- 18:12Speaker 6: always a rich country. In fact, I had an Iranian
- 18:16Speaker 6: tenant and his father escaped when the ATOLLA originally came
- 18:20Speaker 6: into power, and they are a very wealthy family that
- 18:24Speaker 6: live in ten of Fly, New Jersey. This is a
- 18:27Speaker 6: bad deal. This is a cop out. And you know why,
- 18:31Speaker 6: at a big waste of money. We spent all that
- 18:34Speaker 6: money on armaments, our stockpile of arms right now alone,
- 18:41Speaker 6: and we kept the navy over there, the whole kitten
- 18:46Speaker 6: kaboodle over there for months that we had a resupply
- 18:50Speaker 6: with food, this, that and the other. For what it
- 18:54Speaker 6: was a big dog and pony show. He could have
- 18:57Speaker 6: finished the job, he said, three months go. We have
- 19:00Speaker 6: two weeks worth of targets and we could be done
- 19:04Speaker 6: with this. General Jack Keen, who is a consultant on
- 19:07Speaker 6: a lot of the shows that I'm sure you heard him,
- 19:10Speaker 6: said the same thing that he didn't know why Trump
- 19:13Speaker 6: was going about this. I picked up on one thing
- 19:16Speaker 6: you said, he doesn't want to kill people. Well, Ken,
- 19:20Speaker 6: if you don't want to kill people, don't go to
- 19:23Speaker 6: war because we lit dressed enough. The Britz lit dressed enough.
- 19:29Speaker 6: During the last days of the war in Japan, which
- 19:32Speaker 6: my father was in the Philippine Islands, we lit up
- 19:36Speaker 6: Tokyo every night. The bombers would go over there and
- 19:39Speaker 6: drop in sinuary bombs. This is going to turn out
- 19:42Speaker 6: into a stalemate, just like what happened between North and
- 19:47Speaker 6: South Korea.
- 19:48Speaker 2: Vincent, I'm just gonna jump in. I'm just gonna jump
- 19:50Speaker 2: in for a segment, friend, only because heret you catch
- 19:52Speaker 2: a little bit of a breath. I don't disagree with
- 19:54Speaker 2: you on practically anything you said there. Here's the thing though,
- 19:58Speaker 2: and this is you know President Trump thinks chess wise right,
- 20:01Speaker 2: ten moves ahead. This may not be the case my hypothesis.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Buddies of mine said the same thing. I think at
- 20:08Speaker 2: this point he sees that popularity is going down, and
- 20:11Speaker 2: you got to look at the big picture. Popularity goes down,
- 20:14Speaker 2: he loses the midterms for everybody, We lose it all.
- 20:17Speaker 2: At that point, we have no more control, and I
- 20:19Speaker 2: think he's trying to calm things down in the meantime,
- 20:21Speaker 2: get everything back focused, get the economy back. When the midterms,
- 20:25Speaker 2: then you could move forward full strength. I think that
- 20:28Speaker 2: his timing was a way off. He underestimated how fast
- 20:32Speaker 2: he could go in and do this and come out.
- 20:34Speaker 2: And I think that's it. But watch out. I think
- 20:37Speaker 2: the idea here is to get us through the midterms,
- 20:39Speaker 2: hopefully retain both houses, and at that point that the
- 20:43Speaker 2: goal is to you know, if Rand messes around at
- 20:46Speaker 2: that point, go after him full speed. We got about
- 20:48Speaker 2: a minute left, David and Queen, Hello.
- 20:50Speaker 3: Hey, Ken, good morning. I think the comedian you were
- 20:53Speaker 3: trying to remember before was the great JACKU Mason.
- 20:55Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 20:56Speaker 2: The minute I said it, the minute I said I
- 20:58Speaker 2: can't remember his name, David bum, it popped into my head.
- 21:01Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. I'm sorry, Go ahead, sir.
- 21:03Speaker 6: He was great.
- 21:05Speaker 3: I saw his next to the last show, and he
- 21:06Speaker 3: was good until the last day.
- 21:08Speaker 2: Well, and I appreciate you, thank you today. Yes, he
- 21:12Speaker 2: was brilliant and I got to meet him a couple
- 21:14Speaker 2: of times. Just an awfully nice guy, one of the
- 21:16Speaker 2: funniest guys in the world. And for those who don't realize,
- 21:19Speaker 2: he was a canter in his temple. So it was
- 21:22Speaker 2: a brilliant, brilliant man, David. I appreciate that phone call.
- 21:25Speaker 2: Also to our friend Vincent. I appreciate your phone called
- 21:27Speaker 2: Vincent always. Joe and Elmwood Park, good morning to you.
- 21:31Speaker 2: How are you, kenle my thunder h Jackie Mason, Yes,
- 21:36Speaker 2: Jackie Mason talked like this. He was funny and like
- 21:39Speaker 2: doing the voice ten years ago. No big deal doing
- 21:42Speaker 2: that voice. And now someone's going to say you're making
- 21:44Speaker 2: fun of people who have a Yiddish act.
- 21:46Speaker 8: No, I'm not.
- 21:47Speaker 2: I'm honoring him. I think he's awesome. That's why I'm
- 21:50Speaker 2: doing the voice.
- 21:51Speaker 9: Yeah, they learned it from Hillary.
- 21:53Speaker 2: That's right.
- 21:55Speaker 9: They all do it.
- 21:56Speaker 2: It's not look, it all depends on your intention. If
- 21:58Speaker 2: your intention is too my somebody people know if that's
- 22:01Speaker 2: your intention, and that is not my intention. Joe, Yes, go.
- 22:05Speaker 9: Ahead, Mandannie's a clown. But they said Mottolini was a clown. Yeah,
- 22:12Speaker 9: Hitler was a clown. And look at the problem and
- 22:15Speaker 9: look at the they're dangerous people.
- 22:18Speaker 2: You're right, because they win over the they win over
- 22:21Speaker 2: the masses, and once they went over the masses, they
- 22:24Speaker 2: become the puppet master. And that is the dangerous problem.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Joe and Elmwood Park, thank you for the call, my friend.
- 22:29Speaker 2: We're out of time. Next we got to get to
- 22:31Speaker 2: our new seven to ten wor the Voice of New
- 22:33Speaker 2: York coming up next, by the way, we're going to
- 22:35Speaker 2: speak with John Boyd, Junior of the Boyd Company. He's
- 22:38Speaker 2: going to talk about how the Democrats destroying the business
- 22:41Speaker 2: climate in a New Jersey forcing all the companies to flee.
- 22:45Speaker 5: Now more of the Marximone Show on seven to ten.
- 22:48Speaker 5: Woor filling in for Mark here again is Ken Rosado.
- 22:53Speaker 2: Had a very good morning to you. It is great
- 22:55Speaker 2: to have you on. My gosh, it is so good
- 22:57Speaker 2: to be here in for the great Mark Ximone, who
- 23:00Speaker 2: has the day off. Nice long weekend and well deserved.
- 23:03Speaker 2: We want you to give us a call at eight
- 23:05Speaker 2: hundred three to two one zero seven ten, eight hundred
- 23:08Speaker 2: three to two one zero seven ten, and we we're
- 23:12Speaker 2: just getting some really good calls today. Anyway, you are
- 23:14Speaker 2: listening to the Marx Simo Show on a Friday, and
- 23:16Speaker 2: it is just a wonderful and interesting day. People going
- 23:20Speaker 2: crazy with what's going on in Iran. We're going to
- 23:22Speaker 2: talk more about that in just a little bit. In
- 23:24Speaker 2: the meantime, Democrats have run New Jersey top to bottom
- 23:28Speaker 2: for nine years and during that time, spending has grown
- 23:31Speaker 2: out of control, taxes have gone sky high, the business
- 23:35Speaker 2: climate has become oppressive. Don't take my word for it.
- 23:38Speaker 2: You could ask the heads of more than a dozen
- 23:40Speaker 2: major corporations that called New Jersey home for decades, but
- 23:43Speaker 2: they've now fled for states that have friendlier business climates,
- 23:47Speaker 2: most recently Samsung and Exon Mobile. Well, John Boyd Junior
- 23:52Speaker 2: is the principal of the corporate site selection consultancy, The
- 23:55Speaker 2: Boyd Company. It's based in Princeton. He's here to talk
- 23:58Speaker 2: about that more. Good morning to John Kad.
- 24:01Speaker 3: Good morning. It's great to be with you.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Good to have you on. Just for the record, John
- 24:05Speaker 2: was nice enough to come on the TV show I
- 24:07Speaker 2: do in New Jersey the other day and I said, Man,
- 24:08Speaker 2: this guy is so good, we got to have him
- 24:10Speaker 2: on the radio show. So let's go through the rundown.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Democrats in New Jersey control the governor's office, the State Assembly,
- 24:16Speaker 2: the state Senate, both US Senate seats, nine of the
- 24:19Speaker 2: twelve congressional seats, the state Supreme Court, and the mayor's
- 24:22Speaker 2: offices of the fifteen largest cities in the state. So
- 24:25Speaker 2: I'm not trying to condemn democrats per se in New Jersey.
- 24:29Speaker 2: But there's no question they controlled the whole bowl here.
- 24:33Speaker 2: So again I'm not trying to be bashing to Democrats,
- 24:37Speaker 2: but so they've controlled it all for nine years. So
- 24:41Speaker 2: at this point, who else do you blame in New
- 24:44Speaker 2: Jersey but the Democrats for what's going on with the
- 24:47Speaker 2: businesses leaving.
- 24:50Speaker 3: Well Ken, I think you're hitting the nail on the
- 24:52Speaker 3: head here. Business policy matters with respect to where companies
- 24:57Speaker 3: decide to do business. Okay, you mentioned Samsung, and not
- 25:02Speaker 3: every company is doing, you know, high profile relocations like Samsung. Okay,
- 25:07Speaker 3: I mean, obviously Samsung is just the latest and a
- 25:10Speaker 3: number of high profile corporate relocations out of New Jersey
- 25:14Speaker 3: over the past decade or so. But equally concerning are
- 25:17Speaker 3: the dozens of companies that are scaling in other states
- 25:21Speaker 3: that are less costly, less taxed states like Florida and
- 25:24Speaker 3: the Carolina Is even New Jersey's neighbor, Pennsylvania, which is
- 25:28Speaker 3: growing its economy because of tax cuts. And I'm more
- 25:31Speaker 3: of all of the above approach to energy. So the
- 25:35Speaker 3: message is business policy matters, tax policy matters, and when
- 25:40Speaker 3: a company like Samsung leaves New Jersey, you're talking about
- 25:43Speaker 3: several hundred jobs, hundreds of millions of dollars with payroll
- 25:47Speaker 3: and taxable income leaving New Jersey over the next decade
- 25:50Speaker 3: or so. And it's so it's the income tax and
- 25:53Speaker 3: the sales tax losses. It's also the property tax burden
- 25:57Speaker 3: that shifts the middle class. New Jersey ins because corporate
- 26:00Speaker 3: locations equal decreased commercial property tax appraisals and revenue. But
- 26:04Speaker 3: I think policymakers need to link the affordability crisis that
- 26:09Speaker 3: New Jersey interfacing directly with the business climate and the
- 26:12Speaker 3: dangers of this continued exodus of corporate investment and jobs.
- 26:17Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, if it were Republicans in office in
- 26:21Speaker 2: New Jersey right now and running everything and this was happening,
- 26:25Speaker 2: I would be condemnatory of them equally. So it's a
- 26:27Speaker 2: matter of just what you're saying, whoever is causing the problem.
- 26:31Speaker 2: Voting the same way over and over again is not
- 26:32Speaker 2: going to solve the problem. It's doing the same thing
- 26:34Speaker 2: over and over again and expecting a different outcome. Is
- 26:37Speaker 2: the definition of insanity. And that's what we keep doing.
- 26:39Speaker 2: I say we because I'm a fellow New Jersey resident.
- 26:42Speaker 2: You're down in Princeton with the Boyd Company, and I'm
- 26:44Speaker 2: a little further north. But it's just sad to see
- 26:47Speaker 2: that people expect change by doing the same thing. But
- 26:50Speaker 2: I will do this and give Governor Mikey Cheryl some applause,
- 26:55Speaker 2: because at least when it comes to energy, why don't
- 26:58Speaker 2: you talk about what Mikey Cheryl did to try to
- 27:01Speaker 2: help the energy situation.
- 27:03Speaker 3: But she was This is not Phil Murphy two point
- 27:07Speaker 3: zero with respect to energy. Okay. Murphy was all about
- 27:12Speaker 3: making New Jersey the California of the East Coast with
- 27:15Speaker 3: respect to energy and California like mandates. Cheryl has been
- 27:21Speaker 3: good thus far. Okay, she's lifted the moratorium on natural gas.
- 27:25Speaker 3: That industry has enormous economic development potential, particularly the SMR
- 27:29Speaker 3: industry for R and D operations for New Jersey and
- 27:33Speaker 3: also natural gas. Okay, she's following more of a Joshapiro,
- 27:38Speaker 3: the Democratic governor of Pennsylvania, with an all of the
- 27:41Speaker 3: above approach to energy to help businesses and taxpayers. Okay, Look,
- 27:46Speaker 3: this affordability crisis is real. Not every company wants to
- 27:50Speaker 3: relocate out of New York or New Jersey to the
- 27:53Speaker 3: sun Belt. There are winning regional markets like Pennsylvania even
- 27:57Speaker 3: Connecticut is attracting a lot of out mycro of business.
- 28:00Speaker 3: What's a common denominator? Those states are cutting taxes and
- 28:04Speaker 3: they have a more pro business policy towards energy.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Yeah, and when you look at it in the greater scheme,
- 28:09Speaker 2: you think of the map of New Jersey. What better
- 28:11Speaker 2: place on the planet to locate a business. You have
- 28:14Speaker 2: the first and fourth largest business markets in the United
- 28:17Speaker 2: States in New York and Philadelphia. You have everything from
- 28:21Speaker 2: mountains to shore. Great universities Princeton University, Rutgers and J. T.
- 28:26Speaker 2: Kine Writer, Montclair State, Rowan Stockton, William Patterson. I can
- 28:29Speaker 2: go on and on. We got great colleges in New Jersey.
- 28:33Speaker 2: It's in a perfect area. You have expensive homes, less expensive,
- 28:36Speaker 2: more affordable homes, and great transportation. It's all there. So
- 28:41Speaker 2: if you're a corporation, you want to go to a
- 28:43Speaker 2: place like New Jersey until you have government making it
- 28:46Speaker 2: oppressive to be there.
- 28:49Speaker 3: That's right, Ken. And look, there's a live, work play
- 28:51Speaker 3: dynamic behind corporate location decisions today. And this is a
- 28:55Speaker 3: strong suit as you just so articulated so well. Each
- 29:00Speaker 3: k through twelve schools, the cluster of major universities of course,
- 29:03Speaker 3: proximity of Manhattan Philadelphia can activity to the global marketplace. Okay,
- 29:08Speaker 3: so you're right. All of the pieces of the puzzle
- 29:11Speaker 3: are there. The only thing that's missing is the heavy
- 29:14Speaker 3: lifting from Trenton politicians, tax cuts, reforming our energy policy
- 29:19Speaker 3: to make it more business friendly, and even doing some
- 29:22Speaker 3: smart things that really promote consolidations of municipal services to
- 29:27Speaker 3: cut up to reduce the property tax burden.
- 29:30Speaker 2: You know, it's funny to be able to say that
- 29:33Speaker 2: Governor Mikey Cheryl is the adult in the room now
- 29:35Speaker 2: when it comes to Trenton, because it looks like the
- 29:37Speaker 2: assemblies out of control. The State Assemblies is out of control,
- 29:41Speaker 2: the State Senate to some extent, but Governor Mikey Cheryl
- 29:44Speaker 2: is now like the sound mind of all of them
- 29:46Speaker 2: to try to bring things or keep things from getting
- 29:48Speaker 2: out of control when it comes to making businesses leave
- 29:51Speaker 2: because people who have the attitude, the mumdani esque attitude
- 29:55Speaker 2: of oh you want to take your millions and leave,
- 29:57Speaker 2: go good riddance, which is what Hockel did in New
- 29:59Speaker 2: York as well, that same attitude, although now she's changing
- 30:02Speaker 2: her tune as she sees the population declining and the
- 30:04Speaker 2: major corporations leaving New York as well. John Boyd, Junior
- 30:08Speaker 2: Principal of the corporate site selection consultancy The Boyd Company,
- 30:11Speaker 2: based in beautiful Princeton, New Jersey. By the way, it's
- 30:14Speaker 2: not just a college town. What a beautiful town you
- 30:17Speaker 2: live in. Princeton is one of the prettiest places on earth.
- 30:19Speaker 2: What a great town. How long you been there?
- 30:22Speaker 3: So we've been in Princeton since nineteen seventy five. But
- 30:27Speaker 3: we're also in Boker too, in Florid. We're in the
- 30:29Speaker 3: sixth Borough. Ah, we actually officially relocate. I still spend
- 30:33Speaker 3: a great ular time in New Jersey. Good at a
- 30:37Speaker 3: lot of listeners in ftands here in the sixth Borough
- 30:39Speaker 3: for wor.
- 30:41Speaker 2: About a fourth of our calls are from there as well.
- 30:43Speaker 2: And I'm just south of you in Fort Lauderdale as well,
- 30:45Speaker 2: so I'm there half the time as well. But John,

- 31:10Speaker 2: The numbers eight hundred three two one zero seven ten,
- 31:14Speaker 2: eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. The Great
- 31:18Speaker 2: Mark Simone is off today. Ken Rozottowood from Mark Juneteenth,
- 31:22Speaker 2: seven ten WR We're coming right back.
- 31:25Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on seven ten. WI
- 31:29Speaker 1: Ken for Mark today. Here's Ken Rosatta.
- 31:32Speaker 2: That's so nice to be with you. Let's go down
- 31:34Speaker 2: to the Sunshine State. Let's go to Vince in Fort Pierce, Florida.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Good morning for Vince.
- 31:39Speaker 3: Good morning.
- 31:40Speaker 10: You know, I gotta tell you. Iran has been terrorizing
- 31:44Speaker 10: the world for forty seven years. Yeah, nobody did anything.
- 31:48Speaker 10: Obama gives them billions of dollars and says, no, don't
- 31:51Speaker 10: build any nukes, which is a joke because we know
- 31:53Speaker 10: they did. And by the way, that deal would have
- 31:55Speaker 10: expired ten years later anyway, So now it's ten years later.
- 32:00Speaker 10: But all these people all we need to do this.
- 32:03Speaker 10: They forget one thing Trump is negotiating with the entire
- 32:06Speaker 10: Middle East is involved. They had Saudi Arabia attacking certain
- 32:10Speaker 10: places and Iran that's never happened. We had the entire
- 32:13Speaker 10: Middle East working with US so and I support Israel
- 32:16Speaker 10: one hundred percent, but I think it's safe to say,
- 32:19Speaker 10: you know, they've gotten even for October seventh. I mean,
- 32:22Speaker 10: it's hundreds of thousands of people are dead, and they're
- 32:26Speaker 10: throwing a monkey wrench into this deal because net Yahoo
- 32:28Speaker 10: doesn't like it. Well, it has to be a deal
- 32:31Speaker 10: for everybody has to like it in the Middle East.
- 32:33Speaker 10: It can't be just you know, something that we want. Oh,
- 32:36Speaker 10: just keep going, just keep bombing. They had nothing left
- 32:39Speaker 10: two weeks ago. Trump went in there with a couple
- 32:42Speaker 10: of more, you know, like I think they had three
- 32:44Speaker 10: hundred different missions. They didn't even have any opposition nothing.
- 32:48Speaker 10: They have nothing. They have nowhere force, no navy, no nothing.
- 32:52Speaker 10: And as far as Obama and his library there, you know,
- 32:57Speaker 10: I wouldn't.
- 32:58Speaker 11: I wouldn't.
- 32:59Speaker 10: They couldn't pay me to go there. He's on TV
- 33:01Speaker 10: undermining this whole deal, and he's also undermining Trump. All
- 33:05Speaker 10: that hatred that you see every day, kill Trump, do this,
- 33:08Speaker 10: it all comes from him.
- 33:10Speaker 2: So a lot of it certainly did start there. But
- 33:12Speaker 2: then you know, we always have different points in time,
- 33:14Speaker 2: a lot of people could. You can also say this
- 33:16Speaker 2: started with Clinton, because there was a lot of the
- 33:19Speaker 2: polarization under Clinton. But you know, look either way, I
- 33:23Speaker 2: respect the office. I disagree with the man on everything,
- 33:26Speaker 2: but I still respect the office and I certainly would
- 33:28Speaker 2: never wish ill will on him. That's the difference. I'm
- 33:32Speaker 2: just trying to illustrate the difference between those on the
- 33:35Speaker 2: right and those on the left, especially today, there's so
- 33:38Speaker 2: much of a disparity there in the way we treat
- 33:41Speaker 2: like you and I. You're willing to watch the inauguration
- 33:44Speaker 2: of the of the Presidential Center, the opening of it. Meanwhile,
- 33:48Speaker 2: those on the left would never take a moment to
- 33:51Speaker 2: watch anything on the right. As as a friend of
- 33:54Speaker 2: mine who is another talk radio host at I don't
- 33:57Speaker 2: want to reveal the name, but he always says that
- 34:00Speaker 2: a democrat Republicans look at Democrats as good people with
- 34:03Speaker 2: bad ideas, and democrats look at Republicans as bad people.
- 34:07Speaker 2: And there is the difference. Vince in Fort Pierce, thank
- 34:10Speaker 2: you very much for your call, sir, We appreciate it.
- 34:12Speaker 2: Sunny clouds today is going to be breezy, low humidity, highs,
- 34:15Speaker 2: low eighties. This is Ken Rozotto and from Mark seven

- 34:43Speaker 2: honor of working with him for the twenty years that
- 34:45Speaker 2: I was an anchor. And the group that is anchors
- 34:50Speaker 2: for TV stations in New York at all the stations,
- 34:52Speaker 2: it's a very small family, and we all know each
- 34:54Speaker 2: other pretty well. And I will say that in the
- 34:57Speaker 2: twenty years that I was there, Bill Ritter was like
- 35:00Speaker 2: a big brother in a lot of ways, kindest, could be,
- 35:03Speaker 2: super great advice, just a good man. And I just
- 35:07Speaker 2: wish him well. I pray for him every night, and
- 35:10Speaker 2: I just hope that the Alzheimer's, because of the medications
- 35:13Speaker 2: we have today, I'm hoping that those medications treat him
- 35:18Speaker 2: as kindly as possible. But he's a very good, very
- 35:21Speaker 2: hard working, very dedicated man, a dad, at Grandpa, and
- 35:25Speaker 2: it was a pleasure working with him, you know, and
- 35:28Speaker 2: hopefully he has a lot of good years ahead of him.
- 35:31Speaker 2: But it was big of him to take a point
- 35:33Speaker 2: where he realized the Alzheimer's was impacting his memory enough
- 35:37Speaker 2: that he had to step aside. The late Great Billputell
- 35:40Speaker 2: had issues similar to that. I wasn't sure if he
- 35:43Speaker 2: was diagnosed with Alzheimer's per se, but I know he
- 35:45Speaker 2: had dementia related issues as well, and he was just
- 35:49Speaker 2: a lovely man as well. So anyway, small group of people,
- 35:53Speaker 2: it just it broke my heart when I heard the
- 35:57Speaker 2: diagnosis publicly. I had heard a couple of years ago
- 36:00Speaker 2: rumors swirling about it, but we just all hope that
- 36:04Speaker 2: it wasn't true. And now we know the truth. But
- 36:06Speaker 2: Bill Ritter very brave for coming out and telling everybody
- 36:08Speaker 2: about it and sharing the journey so that people know
- 36:11Speaker 2: that we have to eat right, exercise and talk to
- 36:16Speaker 2: the doctor. If you have even the tiniest symptom, don't
- 36:19Speaker 2: avoid it. Talk to the doctor and see if there
- 36:21Speaker 2: are medications that can at least prolong it. We have
- 36:24Speaker 2: a lot to talk about today. Phone lines are open,
- 36:25Speaker 2: give us a call, take part in the Conversation at
- 36:27Speaker 2: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten, eight
- 36:31Speaker 2: hundred three to two one zero seven ten. Special congrats
- 36:34Speaker 2: to our friend Mark Simone for those who didn't hear.
- 36:37Speaker 2: This week, he got the twenty twenty six Gold Standard
- 36:39Speaker 2: and Broadcasting Award from Barrett Media. Nobody deserves it. More
- 36:44Speaker 2: congrats my brother. And also, we want to talk about
- 36:47Speaker 2: the US Iran deal. It is changing by the second,
- 36:51Speaker 2: it seems, so the more we hear about it, the
- 36:53Speaker 2: more questions we have to ask. A lot of people
- 36:57Speaker 2: really scratching their heads saying should we have signed this?
- 36:59Speaker 2: Should we go along with this? As of today, For
- 37:02Speaker 2: those who don't know or didn't hear as of earlier today,
- 37:07Speaker 2: Iran decided that they are going to reclose the Strait
- 37:10Speaker 2: of Horror moves because they say that Israel's involvement in
- 37:14Speaker 2: and presence in Lebanon negates the deal, so that they
- 37:17Speaker 2: are saying they are reclosing the Strait of Horror. Moos,
- 37:21Speaker 2: vice president of Vance, was supposed to go to Geneva
- 37:23Speaker 2: this weekend and now he's saying it's postponed for the
- 37:26Speaker 2: near future. Hopefully this is just a roadbump that we
- 37:29Speaker 2: could solve if not, and I'm a better watch it
- 37:32Speaker 2: because we still have our military in the waters around
- 37:35Speaker 2: that country and we could flatten him in a heartbeat.
- 37:38Speaker 2: So we'll see where this goes. Hopefully the White House
- 37:40Speaker 2: will have something to say about it. Today, two million
- 37:42Speaker 2: people packing Lower Manhattan for the huge Knicks championship celebration,
- 37:47Speaker 2: and now there were about a dozen arrests. But considering
- 37:50Speaker 2: two million people there, that was enormous. You would think
- 37:55Speaker 2: that with two million people anywhere, you'd have more trouble
- 37:59Speaker 2: than not. But fortunately it was kept to a minimum.
- 38:02Speaker 2: We know that some people almost got crushed. Unfortunately they weren't,
- 38:06Speaker 2: but they almost got crushed when people rushed in area,
- 38:09Speaker 2: and folks who were near the pens, near the barricades
- 38:12Speaker 2: got kind of pushed against the pens. And then you
- 38:14Speaker 2: had one case where a guy took a bottle and
- 38:17Speaker 2: broke it and cut another guy in the neck, and
- 38:20Speaker 2: that victim is in stable conditioned today. Bad stuff should
- 38:25Speaker 2: not have happened, obviously, but the good news is the
- 38:28Speaker 2: incidents were kept to a minimum, and that is the
- 38:31Speaker 2: good news. But for those of you who missed yesterday's big,
- 38:35Speaker 2: big celebration, I don't know if you heard Zoron Mamdani speaking.
- 38:39Speaker 2: Just take a listen to this.
- 38:41Speaker 4: This is our city, this is our team. For fifty
- 38:45Speaker 4: three years, we watched for fifty three years. We waited.
- 38:49Speaker 4: Now we've won one last time, New York saying with
- 38:56Speaker 4: me Nixon.
- 38:59Speaker 2: See now, well, this is a man who knows how
- 39:02Speaker 2: to play the crowd or play to the crowd. Zoron
- 39:04Speaker 2: Mamdani is the ultimate populist that way, and it's kind
- 39:08Speaker 2: of scary, it's a little dangerous. Zoron knows how to
- 39:12Speaker 2: get everybody to look at the sparkles on his right hand,
- 39:15Speaker 2: while on his left hand he is doing very nefarious
- 39:18Speaker 2: things with the government. Some say he is just a socialist,
- 39:21Speaker 2: this is the way he thinks. No, I think it's
- 39:23Speaker 2: more nefarious than that. I think it's a plot. I
- 39:25Speaker 2: don't like this. I disagree with democratic socialism. It is brainwashing,
- 39:32Speaker 2: and they are brainwashing young people in this country. If
- 39:35Speaker 2: you ask the average young person to define socialism, they can't.
- 39:39Speaker 2: They have no idea what it's about. They think it's
- 39:41Speaker 2: just being feared to people. It's the meaningful. Corupid people
- 39:44Speaker 2: don't equal or money. They forget or don't understand or
- 39:48Speaker 2: we're never taught deliberately that there isn't a finite amount
- 39:52Speaker 2: of wealth in this world. It is infinite. Okay, there
- 39:55Speaker 2: is an infinite pot of money and it can grow
- 39:58Speaker 2: and grow and grow. It comes down to you will
- 40:01Speaker 2: be rewarded for the efforts you make. If you come
- 40:05Speaker 2: up with a great concept, if you invent a great widget,
- 40:09Speaker 2: if you bake a better chocolate chip cookie, if you
- 40:11Speaker 2: make a better doughnut, if you can build a house
- 40:14Speaker 2: faster and more efficiently, if you can come up with
- 40:17Speaker 2: an app that can put a taxi cab out of
- 40:20Speaker 2: business because someone can summon the car directly to your house,
- 40:24Speaker 2: like you know Uber and lyft. Those people become multi millionaires,
- 40:28Speaker 2: if not billionaires, because they came up with a better idea.
- 40:32Speaker 2: They weren't born millionaires and billionaires. They weren't born with
- 40:36Speaker 2: silver spoons in their mouths.
- 40:37Speaker 3: All right.
- 40:38Speaker 2: Mark Zuckerberg wasn't born in poverty. But he came up
- 40:40Speaker 2: with a great idea and he pushed that idea and
- 40:43Speaker 2: he developed it. That's what capitalism is about. And the
- 40:47Speaker 2: beautiful part about capitalism is everybody could be a millionaire.
- 40:53Speaker 2: There is no limit, there's no point about we got
- 40:56Speaker 2: two thousand. That's it. We got to stop there. No
- 41:00Speaker 2: everyone could be wealthy and successful and happy in a
- 41:03Speaker 2: capitalist society, whereas in a socialist society the common denominator
- 41:08Speaker 2: is dumbed down. You can't make everybody a millionaire by
- 41:12Speaker 2: the government's waving of a wand so let's dumb it
- 41:16Speaker 2: all down and make everybody poor because that they can maintain.
- 41:19Speaker 2: We could give you just enough money to survive and
- 41:22Speaker 2: know more. And this way we're all the same. Well,
- 41:25Speaker 2: what is the incentive to even get out of bed?
- 41:28Speaker 2: If whether I go to work or I stay home
- 41:31Speaker 2: on my butt, I make the same amount of money,
- 41:34Speaker 2: what's the difference. I have a friend whose daughter lives
- 41:37Speaker 2: in a communist country. I won't say which, but her
- 41:40Speaker 2: daughter is a cardiologist and she has been trying to
- 41:43Speaker 2: get to the United States. And it makes me laugh
- 41:45Speaker 2: because of all the people that Biden allowed in illegally,
- 41:48Speaker 2: she wants to come here legally, and it's difficult. She
- 41:50Speaker 2: can't get in. But as a cardiologist, she makes less
- 41:53Speaker 2: money than a cab driver in the United States makes.
- 41:57Speaker 2: In her country, she does not make I think she
- 42:00Speaker 2: gets a little stipend and she gets a nicer house
- 42:02Speaker 2: to live in. They grant you the house in that country.
- 42:05Speaker 8: Wow.
- 42:06Speaker 2: So she spent all those years working her butt off
- 42:08Speaker 2: in school and she gets a nicer house to live in,
- 42:12Speaker 2: but she gets the same salary she could barely afford
- 42:14Speaker 2: to buy food. That shouldn't be the case. If you
- 42:17Speaker 2: work hard and achieve, you should not be struggling to
- 42:21Speaker 2: buy food. You know. It's the more effort you put in,
- 42:24Speaker 2: the better idea you come up with. That's the benefit
- 42:26Speaker 2: of capitalism. That's why you have people breaking down our
- 42:30Speaker 2: doors from all over the world. Yet people are not
- 42:32Speaker 2: breaking down the doors or communist countries to get there.
- 42:34Speaker 2: You notice that how many people here fight to get
- 42:37Speaker 2: into China. All right, maybe they'll go to the big
- 42:40Speaker 2: cities in China that are hybrids, you know, the big
- 42:45Speaker 2: big cities. Hong Kong is a hybrid. Remember Great Britain
- 42:48Speaker 2: ran it for one hundred years and it became democratic.
- 42:51Speaker 2: It became a democratic republic. It is still run quasi
- 42:55Speaker 2: autonomously from the rest of communists China, which is why
- 42:58Speaker 2: it's still successful. Beijing. Same thing. All the major cities
- 43:03Speaker 2: in China where there is wealth, there is wealth because
- 43:07Speaker 2: the government steps back and lets them run basically autonomously
- 43:11Speaker 2: with their own little government. They run. As long as
- 43:13Speaker 2: they keep paying the government money, they're fine. And that's
- 43:16Speaker 2: how come that happens. But communism and socialism has failed
- 43:21Speaker 2: every time and everywhere it's been tried. Yet everybody who
- 43:25Speaker 2: sells the game of socialism says they can do it better.
- 43:29Speaker 2: Zoron Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists, the dssays selling that game,
- 43:33Speaker 2: telling everybody that you could have whatever you want and
- 43:36Speaker 2: it could still be fair, because the people who've been
- 43:38Speaker 2: in control all this time are thieves and just evil
- 43:41Speaker 2: and it's wrong and they don't deserve to be in office.
- 43:43Speaker 2: And young kids who've been indoctrinated by their teachers in
- 43:47Speaker 2: public schools for several decades now, they believe that that's
- 43:50Speaker 2: the case. That it is good you're good hearted and
- 43:54Speaker 2: empathetic if you're a Democratic socialist, and if you're a capitalist,
- 43:58Speaker 2: you're evil. Shouldn't be in my presence, And hence you
- 44:03Speaker 2: have the murder, the alleged murder, I should say, by
- 44:07Speaker 2: by a certain person who's currently on trial right now.
- 44:10Speaker 2: You have a murder by a young man, and you
- 44:13Speaker 2: have young women screaming saying they're in love with him?
- 44:17Speaker 2: Are you out of your minds? This is what it's
- 44:19Speaker 2: come down to in this country. Just insanity. But this
- 44:23Speaker 2: is what happens when you have a society that has
- 44:26Speaker 2: been indoctrinated into the belief that socialism is good and
- 44:31Speaker 2: fair and capitalism is mean. Seven ten WR The Voice
- 44:35Speaker 2: of New York. It's Kenrazotto in on a Friday for
- 44:38Speaker 2: the Great Markximona, enjoying a nice long weekend. We want
- 44:41Speaker 2: to hear what you have to say at eight hundred
- 44:42Speaker 2: three to two one zero seven ten. Eight hundred three
- 44:46Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten Father's Day on Sunday? What
- 44:49Speaker 2: are you doing for Dad? I'm lucky, very very very lucky.
- 44:53Speaker 2: My dad's ninety five and a half years old, and
- 44:56Speaker 2: I got both mom and dads still with me. I'm
- 44:58Speaker 2: I'm fifty nine plus. I'm very lucky to have them both.
- 45:02Speaker 2: So I will see Dad on Sunday morning. But what
- 45:06Speaker 2: are you doing? You got special plans? Give us a call,
- 45:08Speaker 2: let us know, or some good ideas for Dad rather
- 45:10Speaker 2: than the standard barbecue or going out to dinner. What
- 45:13Speaker 2: are you doing that's special with Dad? Eight hundred and
- 45:15Speaker 2: three to two to one zero, seven, ten, and we
- 45:18Speaker 2: have more fraud involving illegal aliens. This time it involves
- 45:22Speaker 2: food stamps. Federal prosecutors in Massachusetts have charged eleven illegal
- 45:26Speaker 2: aliens with using stolen identities and social Security numbers to
- 45:31Speaker 2: fraudulently get one and a half million dollars in benefits
- 45:34Speaker 2: your tax dollars and mine. And here is the Assistant
- 45:37Speaker 2: Attorney General, Colin MacDonald talking about it garmingly.
- 45:41Speaker 12: Eleven of the fifteen charged defendants are suspected illegal aliens,
- 45:47Speaker 12: some of whom assumed stolen identities to steal these taxpayer
- 45:52Speaker 12: funded benefits and avoid detection. American citizens were boxed out
- 45:58Speaker 12: of these programs because illegal aliens took their names to
- 46:02Speaker 12: then take their money.
- 46:04Speaker 2: Yeah, so there were people who genuinely needed those benefits,
- 46:08Speaker 2: and when they went to get the benefits, they couldn't
- 46:10Speaker 2: because illegal aliens who shouldn't be here were illegally using
- 46:15Speaker 2: their names and social Security numbers which they illegally obtained,
- 46:18Speaker 2: and they went and collected the benefits that should have
- 46:21Speaker 2: gone to people who genuinely needed them. So, on top
- 46:23Speaker 2: of all of that, your tax dollars were used to
- 46:26Speaker 2: do that. So you work hard, you pay a fortune
- 46:29Speaker 2: in taxes, and you have a Democrat administration that allowed
- 46:34Speaker 2: these people in and they were just misappropriating funds left
- 46:37Speaker 2: and right. That's how much they care about your hard
- 46:39Speaker 2: earned tax dollars. That's why you never, ever, ever blindly
- 46:44Speaker 2: trust government. Okay, government always claims to be able to
- 46:48Speaker 2: do it better. They never do. They can never do
- 46:51Speaker 2: anything efficiently, They never do it better. Nothing was ever
- 46:55Speaker 2: created by government. It was only wasted by government. Do
- 46:59Speaker 2: you know that of every dollar spent in our welfare
- 47:04Speaker 2: system in the United States, do you know how much
- 47:06Speaker 2: money actually makes it to a welfare recipient, it's between
- 47:10Speaker 2: thirty and thirty five cents because of inefficiency, because of
- 47:14Speaker 2: union jobs, people collecting the money along the way, so
- 47:18Speaker 2: thirty to thirty five cents. Whereas years ago, when you
- 47:21Speaker 2: gave money to charity, charity would then distribute it one
- 47:24Speaker 2: hundred percent to the individual who needed charity. So there's
- 47:28Speaker 2: the difference when you have government versus charity. And then
- 47:31Speaker 2: you have the compromise the NGO the non governmental organizations
- 47:35Speaker 2: such as Catholic charities and Lutheran charities and Episcopal services, etc.
- 47:40Speaker 2: And for a while they were doing a pretty good
- 47:42Speaker 2: job so they were getting money allocated by the government
- 47:45Speaker 2: from taxes, but yet they were still doing things a
- 47:48Speaker 2: lot with people who were donating their time. Unfortunately, the
- 47:51Speaker 2: NGOs started getting political, and all of them right now
- 47:54Speaker 2: are on my suspicious list, to say the least. And
- 47:58Speaker 2: it's sad because I used to be a one of
- 48:00Speaker 2: the people who would volunteer my time for Catholic charities
- 48:03Speaker 2: in Brooklyn and Queens and I used to go out
- 48:05Speaker 2: there and help them raise millions of dollars. And then,
- 48:08Speaker 2: with all due respect, let's just say that I saw
- 48:10Speaker 2: some things that may be a little uncomfortable, and I
- 48:13Speaker 2: no longer have anything to do with them. But that's
- 48:15Speaker 2: not to say that you shouldn't donate. I'm not telling
- 48:17Speaker 2: you what you should do, but I'm just saying that
- 48:19Speaker 2: I don't like NGOs the way they have become today.
- 48:23Speaker 2: Not that they weren't set up with great intentions. I
- 48:25Speaker 2: just don't like the politics and the way they've had it.
- 48:28Speaker 2: Seven ten wor the Voice of New York. This is

- 48:37Speaker 2: like sun and clouds, low humidity, and a little breeze.
- 48:40Speaker 2: Highs in the low eighties. It's gonna be that way today, tomorrow,
- 48:43Speaker 2: and Father's Day Sunday. Really nice weekend in store. Coming
- 48:47Speaker 2: up later in the broadcast, we'll be speaking with a
- 48:50Speaker 2: woman who has developed away get This to turn plants
- 48:54Speaker 2: into clothing as efficiently as companies use fossil fuels to
- 48:59Speaker 2: make polyester. Only this material will not decompose into microplastics.
- 49:03Speaker 2: You know, polyester is made from from oil. People don't
- 49:06Speaker 2: realize that. And when it when you throw out a
- 49:09Speaker 2: polyester shirt, it ends up in a landfill and turns
- 49:11Speaker 2: into microplastics that gets into the water supply you drink
- 49:14Speaker 2: that People die with all these microplastics in their bodies. Well,
- 49:18Speaker 2: her fabrics are made entirely from plants, but made as
- 49:22Speaker 2: efficiently as polyester. It's fascinating. It is now eleven twenty one.
- 49:26Speaker 2: Your calls coming up next at eight hundred three to
- 49:29Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten, So call us up eight
- 49:31Speaker 2: hundred three to two one zero seven ten seven ten.

- 49:41Speaker 5: Filling in from Mark here again is Ken Rosatto.
- 49:45Speaker 2: For a good morning to you seven ten wore the
- 49:48Speaker 2: voiceev New York. Good Friday to you. Let us go
- 49:50Speaker 2: to Pam in New Jersey. Good morning, Pam, Good morning.
- 49:55Speaker 13: Your analysis of Mandani's dialect and speech patterns with excellent.
- 50:00Speaker 13: I'm into languages and dialects myself, and I couldn't help
- 50:05Speaker 13: but think yesterday. Oh, he's not talking basketball, he's talking
- 50:09Speaker 13: fifty three years of history, and he's talking politics. And
- 50:14Speaker 13: he had his presidential voice on.
- 50:17Speaker 2: Yes, And did you listen? If you're into languages, then
- 50:20Speaker 2: maybe you caught what I caught. He was speaking with
- 50:23Speaker 2: the New York's accent until he said the word ve
- 50:26Speaker 2: er y and that's when the Indian came out. Did
- 50:28Speaker 2: you hear him say Wherry Werry? Wherey he said that?
- 50:31Speaker 2: And then he slipped out, Then he slipped back into
- 50:33Speaker 2: New York. Then I realized that this was all fake.
- 50:36Speaker 2: This is all an accent. New York Ease is his
- 50:39Speaker 2: fake accent. His natural voice is different. He said, listen, however,
- 50:42Speaker 2: are you going to speak? Is fine? He masters it though.
- 50:45Speaker 2: He's very good with the New York's accent, and it's
- 50:48Speaker 2: I guess and to make it feel like he's part
- 50:50Speaker 2: of the brain, go ahead, I'm sorry.
- 50:52Speaker 13: When he was running his campaign, if you noticed he
- 50:55Speaker 13: had like a lateral lisp, like a Wall Street speech pattern. Yes, yes,
- 51:02Speaker 13: and it was all like Wall Street. And I'm like,
- 51:06Speaker 13: you know, to use an older term, I'm a yuppie,
- 51:08Speaker 13: I'm you know, I'm one, you know, I'm And then
- 51:11Speaker 13: all of a sudden, like you said, he's going into
- 51:14Speaker 13: these different dialects. Right, I'll have to listen again for
- 51:17Speaker 13: that slip into Indian because it's a little hard to
- 51:20Speaker 13: hear over the crowd on the radio. It's a little
- 51:22Speaker 13: hard to hear. But I'll listen for that. But yeah,
- 51:25Speaker 13: he's he's a master. He's an absolute master. He's one
- 51:29Speaker 13: of those impostors. Yes, that changes with the crowd.
- 51:33Speaker 2: And that's that's what I'm interrving. Just be who you
- 51:36Speaker 2: are and speak Listen. New York has a million dialects.
- 51:40Speaker 2: We we that's what's beautiful about New York. Just be
- 51:42Speaker 2: who you are. But you have to be a little
- 51:44Speaker 2: suspicious about somebody who's trying to go after a certain crowd.
- 51:47Speaker 2: It's like he's trying to tell the business community. I'm
- 51:50Speaker 2: with you, guys, I'm a business minded, savvy profession No
- 51:54Speaker 2: you're you're you're a phony. I think that it comes.
- 51:57Speaker 13: Through when you to manipulate. Yes, when you use it
- 52:00Speaker 13: to manipulate, that's dangerous.
- 52:02Speaker 2: I agree with you one hundred percent. Pam, right on it.
- 52:05Speaker 2: I appreciate you, my fellow New Jersey person. Have a
- 52:07Speaker 2: great day, Pam. Good weekend too. We go to Long
- 52:09Speaker 2: Island now the other side of the New York Drives
- 52:11Speaker 2: date Chris and Bethpage.
- 52:14Speaker 8: Hey, Ken, I just want to backtrack a little bit.
- 52:16Speaker 8: I'm really sorry because I like Vincent as a call
- 52:18Speaker 8: I do, but you know him, and so many people
- 52:21Speaker 8: are so way out of line on their perception of
- 52:23Speaker 8: what's going on. You hit upon it best when you
- 52:26Speaker 8: said this, and I believe it too. Trump. We've known
- 52:29Speaker 8: the guy for ten years politically now, the guy plays chess.
- 52:33Speaker 8: He plays multi level chess. That's what he's doing all
- 52:36Speaker 8: the time. He doesn't play checkers. He doesn't go in there.
- 52:39Speaker 8: Let's knock him out, Let's get a regime change. He's
- 52:41Speaker 8: not at the end of the day. He says all
- 52:44Speaker 8: this stuff, and when we always say, the ones that
- 52:46Speaker 8: really follow him closely and know what he does, don't
- 52:48Speaker 8: follow what he says all the time. Always watch what
- 52:51Speaker 8: he does. That's the most important thing. Okay, and think
- 52:55Speaker 8: about it. A year ago Will was Iran. It was
- 52:58Speaker 8: forty seven years of the Mollas and the Ayatola in charge.
- 53:02Speaker 8: We still own them for what they did disgracefully to
- 53:04Speaker 8: us in nineteen seventy nine, but no president ever would
- 53:08Speaker 8: do it. Last year he bombed them, remember, originally bombed
- 53:11Speaker 8: then in ISRAELI bombed them initially in June. I think
- 53:14Speaker 8: it was last year. Then I got up on March
- 53:18Speaker 8: first of this year.
- 53:19Speaker 3: I woke up.
- 53:20Speaker 8: It was like the super Bowl. It's like the giants
- 53:22Speaker 8: flung super Bowl. I heard forty of them were killed.
- 53:24Speaker 8: Think about that?
- 53:25Speaker 3: Who does that?
- 53:26Speaker 8: What president in our lifetime had enough knowledge to go
- 53:30Speaker 8: in and kill forty of their leaders? Okay, they're down
- 53:34Speaker 8: to that third level of leadership. If you ever listen
- 53:37Speaker 8: to Kate t mcfalland she says it best, she goes,
- 53:40Speaker 8: don't worry about you know, there's no such thing as
- 53:43Speaker 8: regime change. It never happens. There's never been a war
- 53:46Speaker 8: where we were going for regime change and you did
- 53:49Speaker 8: it successfully.
- 53:49Speaker 2: You could even if I met Chris, you could almost
- 53:51Speaker 2: look at it this way as we've had regime change,
- 53:53Speaker 2: because it's on the third level. We've had two regime
- 53:55Speaker 2: changes already over there, and they get the idea that
- 53:59Speaker 2: if they don't play ball the right way, they're going
- 54:01Speaker 2: to be next. But the only thing that I agree
- 54:03Speaker 2: with you on a lot of what you said. The
- 54:05Speaker 2: only thing that unnerves me, if you will a little bit,
- 54:07Speaker 2: is I don't think they mind death over there as
- 54:09Speaker 2: much as we do, especially in the leadership. I don't
- 54:12Speaker 2: mean the masters of people. I think in the leadership,
- 54:15Speaker 2: they think that they are ordained by God to be
- 54:18Speaker 2: in a certain position that they have Heaven guaranteed, So
- 54:20Speaker 2: go ahead and let me go. That's what's a little
- 54:23Speaker 2: scary there.
- 54:25Speaker 8: No, totally agree, totally agree what you're saying. I get it,
- 54:28Speaker 8: But just think of what he's done to them. You know,
- 54:32Speaker 8: they were sponsoring all this terrorism because they had money.
- 54:36Speaker 8: He cut off their money, right, Their economy is in
- 54:39Speaker 8: the crapper now. So he what he's trying to do
- 54:42Speaker 8: is and he's smart about this, Hey, I'm going to
- 54:44Speaker 8: give you this amount of money.
- 54:45Speaker 11: And I was like, oh, what do you give him?
- 54:46Speaker 8: Three hundred million? The second he sees that they're not
- 54:50Speaker 8: using it, for what it's intended to do. And by
- 54:53Speaker 8: the way, you are one hundred percent right. He is
- 54:54Speaker 8: waiting till November. He's praying to God, we can hold
- 54:58Speaker 8: the House and the Senate and then trust me, come
- 55:01Speaker 8: December December and we have everything and we allow God help.
- 55:07Speaker 3: I Rand, I'm.
- 55:08Speaker 2: With you, I think because he knows that what good
- 55:10Speaker 2: is it going to be if we lose the House
- 55:12Speaker 2: in the Senate and he gets impeached. I don't think
- 55:14Speaker 2: he cares about being impeached, but I know that he
- 55:16Speaker 2: knows he will not have the authority at that point.
- 55:18Speaker 2: So he has to get stuff done now. In order
- 55:20Speaker 2: to arn the House and Senate. You have to play
- 55:22Speaker 2: the game. He knows about numbers that we don't know about,
- 55:26Speaker 2: and I guarantee that's where it's going right now. Hey,
- 55:28Speaker 2: I agree with you, Chris. Have a wonderful day, good weekend,
- 55:30Speaker 2: Happy Father's Day to you. Thank you my friend. All Right,
- 55:33Speaker 2: it is now eleven thirty three Ken risottowin from Mark.
- 55:36Speaker 2: Coming up in our next half hour, We're going to
- 55:39Speaker 2: talk with a woman who has developed a way to
- 55:41Speaker 2: turn plants into clothing. You're gonna have to check this out.
- 55:44Speaker 2: It is coming up just a few minutes seven to
- 55:46Speaker 2: ten wor.
- 55:48Speaker 1: Live from the WR Life Back Studios, No Mark Zimon Show,
- 55:53Speaker 1: Guess hosting from Mark Today, Ken Rosatto, Ed's.
- 55:57Speaker 2: So good to be with you on a beautiful Friday.
- 56:00Speaker 2: It's going to be this way all weekend long. Seven
- 56:02Speaker 2: to ten WAR the Voice of New York. Hey, there
- 56:05Speaker 2: is a really smart, super innovative company that uses plant
- 56:10Speaker 2: based manufacturing methods to reduce waste before products are even made.
- 56:14Speaker 2: It's called Simply Fiber, and a woman named Maria Incher
- 56:18Speaker 2: Orang is the co founder. She's nice to have to
- 56:20Speaker 2: be on with us this morning.
- 56:21Speaker 14: Good morning to you, Maria, Good morning Ken, how are
- 56:24Speaker 14: you great?
- 56:25Speaker 2: Thank you? And for those who don't realize, Maria was
- 56:28Speaker 2: on my show I do on the New Jersey TV
- 56:30Speaker 2: channel on New Jersey this week, and Maria saw my
- 56:33Speaker 2: face every time she told me another thing about this company.
- 56:36Speaker 2: My job was a gape and I said, this is brilliant.
- 56:39Speaker 2: So I thank you for coming on the radio with
- 56:41Speaker 2: us now in War. First of all, tell everybody about
- 56:44Speaker 2: Simply Fiber and what made you start the company?
- 56:47Speaker 14: Thanks so much, Ken, Well, I started the company because
- 56:50Speaker 14: I've been working in the fashion industry as a designer
- 56:53Speaker 14: for twenty four years, and I didn't really think that
- 56:57Speaker 14: the production method was efficient, how much hand labor involved.
- 57:01Speaker 14: I think most people don't realize how much hand labor
- 57:04Speaker 14: is involved. And the whole industry was moving towards fossil
- 57:07Speaker 14: based materials like polyester instead of natural materials. So what
- 57:11Speaker 14: I realized is what we need is a better way
- 57:15Speaker 14: of using natural materials. It's more efficient, so they can compete.
- 57:19Speaker 10: And beat the.
- 57:20Speaker 14: Prices of polyester.
- 57:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I bet you if you ask one hundred people,
- 57:23Speaker 2: the vast majority don't realize that much of their clothing
- 57:27Speaker 2: is made from oil. That it's made from fossil fuel.
- 57:30Speaker 8: Right.
- 57:30Speaker 2: The polyester is spun from the one of the byproducts
- 57:34Speaker 2: of oil, and that's why that's why many shirts are
- 57:37Speaker 2: very flammable. By the way, not that cotton isn't flammable,
- 57:40Speaker 2: but it goes polyester and it melts. But that stuff,
- 57:43Speaker 2: as you were telling me this week, doesn't that break
- 57:46Speaker 2: down to microplastics and landfills?
- 57:49Speaker 7: Yeah, it does.
- 57:50Speaker 14: Every time you wash your clothes, every time you move
- 57:53Speaker 14: around in polyester, it releases microplastic. So that just gets everywhere.
- 57:58Speaker 14: It's in our waters, it's in our bodies, and textiles
- 58:02Speaker 14: especially are a good way to kind of lose microplastics
- 58:06Speaker 14: as you wear them.
- 58:07Speaker 2: Well, wow, now you were saying that manufacturing clothing using
- 58:13Speaker 2: polyester is done in a certain way that's rather efficient,
- 58:16Speaker 2: and the problem was when you use traditional cotton or whatever,
- 58:19Speaker 2: you had to first spin it into a fabric, then
- 58:21Speaker 2: take the fabric and manually turn it into the clothing,
- 58:24Speaker 2: et cetera. That it was kind of painstakingly laborious, whereas
- 58:28Speaker 2: it was a little more efficient with polyester. But you're
- 58:31Speaker 2: now able to take simply fiber, which is manufactured from
- 58:34Speaker 2: anything that grows right, any kind of plant, and you
- 58:36Speaker 2: could turn it into a fabric as efficiently as one
- 58:39Speaker 2: could do that with polyester.
- 58:41Speaker 14: Yeah, in fact, actually more efficiently, because even with polyester
- 58:45Speaker 14: you're still stuck with the same supply chain where you're
- 58:48Speaker 14: spinning yarn, weaving or knitting, fabric cutting and then sewing.
- 58:53Speaker 14: What we do is we actually use the materials more
- 58:58Speaker 14: like molded plastic, So it's kind of a combination of
- 59:02Speaker 14: paper making and injection molding where you can actually create
- 59:05Speaker 14: the shape at the same time as the materials, so
- 59:10Speaker 14: it's never a roll of fabric. You just go straight
- 59:13Speaker 14: from fibers into shape in one step. It's more like
- 59:17Speaker 14: three D printing than it is traditional fabric and textile making.
- 59:22Speaker 2: That's amazing. And it does it still breathe? And is
- 59:24Speaker 2: it still washable?
- 59:26Speaker 14: Yeah, it's still washable. It breathes kind of the same
- 59:30Speaker 14: way as other types of natural materials. You know, I
- 59:35Speaker 14: think you can compare it to something between a cotton
- 59:38Speaker 14: and a leather in terms of air caremutability. But we
- 59:42Speaker 14: can also perforate and do all kinds of things as
- 59:45Speaker 14: materials to make it breathe more too.
- 59:47Speaker 2: Well, that makes a lot of sense. That's brilliant. And
- 59:49Speaker 2: is it how about cost effectiveness? Is it expensive? More expensive?
- 59:52Speaker 2: Less expensive?
- 59:54Speaker 14: It's less expensive because you're actually starting with the basic
- 59:58Speaker 14: building blocks that's five and that's always the cheapest part
- 1:00:02Speaker 14: of the supply chain, and then with all the other
- 1:00:06Speaker 14: usual steps, everything just gets more expensive. But we're only
- 1:00:09Speaker 14: making things in one step, so it stays relatively cost effective.
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: That's just it's like, this is a total when when
- 1:00:16Speaker 2: I am desperately trying to find a negative here and
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: I can't have about color, like you could inject color
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: into this and make it any color.
- 1:00:23Speaker 14: You want, Oh yeah, absolutely, And we even have different
- 1:00:27Speaker 14: kind of flavors of color, so it can be really bright,
- 1:00:30Speaker 14: saturated color, but it can also be heathered effects where
- 1:00:35Speaker 14: you have a little bit like salt and pepper colors,
- 1:00:37Speaker 14: and you can mix fibers together. You can even kind
- 1:00:40Speaker 14: of change colors within the same piece, so you can
- 1:00:43Speaker 14: do some new tricks that weren't possible before with other
- 1:00:47Speaker 14: types of textiles.
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: Seven to ten wo R The Voice of New York.
- 1:00:51Speaker 2: It's Ken Risotto Win on the Mark Simone Show on
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: a Friday, speaking with Maria Insher Orang, who is a
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: co founder of Simply Fiber. What is the reception been
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: like in the industry. Are fashion houses looking into this
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: at this point? Are they still a little reticent, a
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: little scared to jump a whole hog into it.
- 1:01:10Speaker 14: Yeah, it's been great. Actually, we weren't even expecting the
- 1:01:15Speaker 14: attention to come from where it came from. But we're
- 1:01:17Speaker 14: getting a lot of We're getting a lot of requests
- 1:01:20Speaker 14: from the footwear industry for shoe uppers, and we're getting
- 1:01:23Speaker 14: a lot of requests from the car industry for interiors.
- 1:01:27Speaker 14: So we've recently did dash and door panels for Kia.
- 1:01:31Speaker 14: We also just showed on the Paris Catwalk some shoes
- 1:01:35Speaker 14: for Gani. So everywhere, especially where you need like high performance,
- 1:01:42Speaker 14: durable materials, we're getting a lot of requests because those
- 1:01:46Speaker 14: kinds of materials.
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: Aren't often.
- 1:01:49Speaker 14: It's not always very easy to find natural materials that
- 1:01:53Speaker 14: do those things.
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: And you think about how many companies, even big fashion houses,
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: sadly use practical slave labor in third world countries to
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: do all the laborious stuff, and you're eliminating all that.
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: No longer do you need to have that. By having
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: this basically go from wood pulp potentially or plant matter
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: right through a computer and boom, cut out the exact
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: panels that you need.
- 1:02:16Speaker 14: Right exactly, it's a really good opportunity for restoring some
- 1:02:22Speaker 14: of the manufacturing and getting that more happening closer to
- 1:02:26Speaker 14: where the customers are, so you don't have to have
- 1:02:29Speaker 14: your products crossing the world a few times before they're
- 1:02:32Speaker 14: even reaching the customer. So it's really designed to be
- 1:02:37Speaker 14: less labor intensive, and it gives manufacturers more options to
- 1:02:42Speaker 14: be able to make the things that they want to make.
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: This is just absolutely brilliant and you could reproduce it
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: over and over and over again, just by putting in
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: the dimensions and the design into a computer and letting it,
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: like you said, like three D printing, just kind of
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: spit out the panel or the shirt or the whatever
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: based on what you input, right, so it just keeps
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: it could work round the clock and just spit out
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: as many items of an order as you'd like. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: that's how long have you been doing this?
- 1:03:11Speaker 10: Now?
- 1:03:13Speaker 14: About five years? So we did. We kind of did
- 1:03:17Speaker 14: the pre work for about a year before that really
- 1:03:20Speaker 14: literally started in my kitchen and then we started moving
- 1:03:24Speaker 14: into chemistry labs and material scientists teams. Now we're operating
- 1:03:30Speaker 14: from Raleigh, North Carolina, and we've got a full production
- 1:03:34Speaker 14: system which we've just built up this year.
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: But you are what make America great. Seriously, your brilliance,
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: the intelligence, the concept. And then you risked a lot,
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: I'm sure in getting the company started, because I mean
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: you your great idea to somebody else might might have
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: been initially thought of, is that's crazy, that'll never work.
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: You risked it. You risk the money, the time, the reputation.
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: You left your other job and you did this. So
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: we applaud you and I hope you are a trillionaire
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: many times over for coming up with this great concept.
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: You are fantastic, Maria Insure Orang remember that name, co
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: founder of simply Fiber, and that's s I M P
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: L y F y b e R. Correct.
- 1:04:14Speaker 14: It is actually simplify and then be er.
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: So just switch the I on the Oh so my,
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: I guess my dyslexia kicked in. I apologize. That's how
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: there you go. So and look at it out, look
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: at it online. I saw it online the other day.
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: I was just fascinated. The whole concept is brilliant and
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: we're gonna we got to have you back on again
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: and again. You are fantastic, Maria. Have a wonderful Yeah.
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: Please you have a wonderful weekend and just much success
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: to you.
- 1:04:42Speaker 14: Thank you so much, Ken, Thanks for enthusiasm. I'm happy
- 1:04:46Speaker 14: to speak to you anytime you bet take care.
- 1:04:49Speaker 6: Wow, it just fascinate.
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: I mean that there is the example right there. I
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: was talking about this earlier. That's the example of how
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: capitalism works. She worked, she worked for other people, came
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: up with her own concept. Build a better birdhouse, if
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: you will, in this case, build a better widget, create
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: fabric something you think it's Okay, this has been done
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: for hundreds, if not thousands of years. How can you
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: create a new way of making fabric? She came up
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: with it, boom and now she's doing great. The company
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: is simply fiber Maria incher oh raang, unbelievable. Ken Rosotto

- 1:05:41Speaker 8: Man.
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: Nice to be with you on a beautiful friday. Let's
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: go straight to the phones. Dennis in Florham Park, beautiful town,
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: Florham Park. Is I spend a little time there between
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: houses when my house wasn't ready, I stayed at one
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: of those fully furnished places. I won't mention the name
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: of you probably know where it is in Florham Park.
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: It's a beautiful ten anyway to have you on, Dennis.
- 1:06:01Speaker 7: Yeah, no, thank you and I missed you a lot.
- 1:06:06Speaker 7: You were the sharp dresser on the news. You were
- 1:06:10Speaker 7: you were, Thank you so much and uh yeah and
- 1:06:13Speaker 7: the one your first showed up at the building. I
- 1:06:17Speaker 7: asked you because I have family Rosado up in Boston,
- 1:06:20Speaker 7: but you said you didn't have any family.
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: Yeah. No, it's a more common name than people know.
- 1:06:26Speaker 2: It's it's actually means pink in Italian and it's uh.
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: It's more common in Sicily than it is up up
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: the up the boot. But yeah, no, it's it's Uh.
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: I appreciate I do. I vaguely remember you talking to
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: me once about this.
- 1:06:38Speaker 7: Yeah, of course, No, we were. We bumped into each
- 1:06:41Speaker 7: other throughout the weeks and months that you were there.
- 1:06:45Speaker 7: Everyone that likes you, I certainly do, and uh you were.
- 1:06:51Speaker 7: You were very gracious. That sentiment of Bill Ritter, that's true.
- 1:06:55Speaker 7: He's a good person.
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: He is this he is uh and so were you?
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: Are you shut a bright Father's Day Sunday?
- 1:07:01Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I certainly am. My family. They're up
- 1:07:07Speaker 7: in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the high taxes in the in the
- 1:07:13Speaker 7: state and county. You know, they had a league.
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear.
- 1:07:19Speaker 7: You couldn't make it two incomes coming in. It's difficult.
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: They just don't get it. You can go to Florida
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: and the state budget in Florida is less than the
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: city budget of New York, and yet they handled like
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: three times of the population. They don't understand that you
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: can do it for less, Dennis. We just got to
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: run because we got news at the top of the
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: hour here. But I appreciate the phone call, my friend,
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: and very happy Father's Day to you. Quickly, one more
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: phone call before we go. Vincent in Jersey City, good morning.
