Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Now the Mark Simone Show on seven ten woor filling
- 0:05Speaker 1: in for Mark, here's Ken Rosatto.
- 0:08Speaker 2: It's so nice to be with you on a beautiful Friday.
- 0:11Speaker 2: My goodness. I heard Mark talking about it yesterday, saying,
- 0:14Speaker 2: if you like summer weekends. I can't even detect the
- 0:17Speaker 2: great Mark Simone's voice, but he was saying, if you
- 0:19Speaker 2: like summer weekends, this is the perfect summer. And I'm
- 0:21Speaker 2: thinking hyperpole. I love my Mark Simon, but he's got
- 0:24Speaker 2: to be exaggerating that. I talked to a couple of
- 0:27Speaker 2: my meteorologists friends and said, no, no, no, Mark's got
- 0:29Speaker 2: his finger on the pulse. He's right if you're going
- 0:31Speaker 2: to pick any few days of the entire summer, you know,
- 0:35Speaker 2: not that we could forecast six weeks from now. But
- 0:38Speaker 2: it looks like this. Is it Friday, Saturday, Sunday sunshine,
- 0:42Speaker 2: not that humid low eighties. It's one of those days
- 0:45Speaker 2: you just love to walk around. I mean, if you're
- 0:47Speaker 2: in Manhattan, you walk around, fresh air, sunshine. If you're
- 0:51Speaker 2: in suburbia, forget it. I am in the middle of
- 0:53Speaker 2: moving from northern New Jersey to central New Jersey, and
- 0:57Speaker 2: I woke up in central New Jersey today in a
- 1:00Speaker 2: valley area, and it was fifty seven degrees there, and
- 1:04Speaker 2: I think it only got down to the sixties in Manhattan,
- 1:06Speaker 2: but it was fifty seven. I walked outside, got a
- 1:09Speaker 2: little scared of that because I kind of like the
- 1:11Speaker 2: warm weather, but it was just so beautiful and fresh.
- 1:14Speaker 2: So I hope you enjoy this beautiful weekend. For those saying,
- 1:17Speaker 2: who the heck is this prattling on on the Mark
- 1:19Speaker 2: Simone Show, this is Ken Rozotto. I was the morning
- 1:22Speaker 2: anchor and for a while, noon anchor two at Channel
- 1:26Speaker 2: seven in New York. He remembered me there. I was
- 1:28Speaker 2: there for decades and decades. I was also a morning
- 1:32Speaker 2: anchor at Good Day in New York on Channel five.
- 1:34Speaker 2: I was on Channel fifty five, which is now owned
- 1:37Speaker 2: by CBS. It wasn't when I was there, but it's
- 1:40Speaker 2: now owned by CBS. So there's a lot of New
- 1:43Speaker 2: York history with me with television, but a lot of
- 1:45Speaker 2: people don't realize I did radio for a lot of
- 1:47Speaker 2: years before that too, in and around the New York
- 1:49Speaker 2: City area. So it's nice to be back behind the
- 1:52Speaker 2: microphone filling in for probably and arguably one of the
- 1:56Speaker 2: greatest talk radio people of any time, Mark Simone, and
- 2:00Speaker 2: I'm honored and humbled to be sitting here these days.
- 2:04Speaker 2: What I do for a living, I host a daily
- 2:05Speaker 2: show on a New Jersey based TV news channel. It's
- 2:09Speaker 2: a streaming channel, which is where it seems TV is
- 2:12Speaker 2: going today. It's called on New jerseynj dot com. Is
- 2:17Speaker 2: how you could get it anywhere in the country, but
- 2:19Speaker 2: if you're in New Jersey you could see it easily.
- 2:21Speaker 2: It's on New jerseynj dot com. We had a lot
- 2:25Speaker 2: of talk about today. Our phone lines are wide open.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Give us a call. We could take part together in
- 2:30Speaker 2: the conversation. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Well, let's
- 2:39Speaker 2: start talking about Iran. Last night was the thirteenth night
- 2:43Speaker 2: where the US has literally pounded Iran. And I know
- 2:47Speaker 2: with the the last month or two, the President has
- 2:50Speaker 2: made a lot of threats and we don't see really
- 2:53Speaker 2: what has happened over there. But now we're getting video
- 2:56Speaker 2: trickling in and it looks like it's no longer just threats.
- 3:00Speaker 2: They are pounding they the US military is pounding Iran
- 3:05Speaker 2: mercilessly now, going after targets that normally would be avoided
- 3:09Speaker 2: because I know, you know, to President Trump doesn't like
- 3:12Speaker 2: to impact the regular citizenry of a country. In this case,
- 3:16Speaker 2: he doesn't want to. And I don't want to put
- 3:19Speaker 2: words in his mouth. I'm just speaking on what he said.
- 3:21Speaker 2: He doesn't like impacting the everyday people. The people of
- 3:25Speaker 2: Iran are fantastic people. If you know any Iranian Americans,
- 3:28Speaker 2: you know, I know six people who, in fact, they
- 3:32Speaker 2: call themselves Persian because well, Persian is a subset within
- 3:35Speaker 2: Iran anyway, not everybody in Iran is Persian, but the
- 3:39Speaker 2: ones that I know are all Persian, and they don't
- 3:42Speaker 2: even want to call themselves Iranian Americans for a hundred reasons,
- 3:45Speaker 2: but they are. They will tell you if you talk
- 3:48Speaker 2: to them that the current people running Iran are insane
- 3:52Speaker 2: and they don't care about their own people. They don't
- 3:55Speaker 2: care if their own people get killed because they are theocrats.
- 3:59Speaker 2: They are believed in an administration run entirely for the
- 4:04Speaker 2: glory of their God, and it doesn't matter if people
- 4:07Speaker 2: get killed because this is part of the process for them. Well,
- 4:10Speaker 2: we believe that America's founded under God, whether you realize
- 4:14Speaker 2: it or not. We say one nation under God for
- 4:17Speaker 2: a reason because in our founding, the founding fathers say
- 4:20Speaker 2: that God led them to this and helping and help
- 4:23Speaker 2: them to create the system that we have in the
- 4:26Speaker 2: United States today. And if you look at the checks
- 4:28Speaker 2: and balances, the way things are set up, it makes
- 4:31Speaker 2: a lot of sense. If you don't believe it in God,
- 4:34Speaker 2: then we have a whole lot of luck that has
- 4:36Speaker 2: brought us to two hundred and fifty years of a
- 4:39Speaker 2: wonderful country. If not, I say the greatest country on
- 4:41Speaker 2: the planet. And you could try to differ with me.
- 4:43Speaker 2: We could have a debate on that, but I don't
- 4:45Speaker 2: think you'll win. This is the greatest country ever on
- 4:49Speaker 2: the face of the earth for a thousand reasons. It
- 4:51Speaker 2: is not a perfect country, but nobody was perfect except
- 4:54Speaker 2: for one person, I believe, and they nailed them to
- 4:56Speaker 2: a cross. But that's another day, another story. Outside of that,
- 5:00Speaker 2: I would say that the United States, whenever it has
- 5:02Speaker 2: had warts, it has exposed those warts and tried to
- 5:05Speaker 2: do whatever possible to change the warts and fix them.
- 5:10Speaker 2: So that's the difference between the US and other countries.
- 5:13Speaker 2: But we'd like to hear what you have to say
- 5:14Speaker 2: about it eight hundred and three to two one zero
- 5:16Speaker 2: seven ten. So again with Iran, what has happened is
- 5:20Speaker 2: now we are escalating. It seems to going after bridges
- 5:23Speaker 2: and power plants, things that sadly will impact the rank
- 5:26Speaker 2: and file people of the country. But it seems that
- 5:29Speaker 2: unless there's pressure from the people internally on the government things,
- 5:33Speaker 2: they are just going to continue as is. The negotiators
- 5:37Speaker 2: I put in air quotes lie to us during the
- 5:39Speaker 2: negotiation process. They smile and say one thing and then
- 5:43Speaker 2: go back and do something entirely differently. In fact, as
- 5:46Speaker 2: President Trump has pointed out many times, they will talk
- 5:49Speaker 2: to us in a negotiation setting and the second they're done,
- 5:52Speaker 2: they go outside and talk to the lemmings in left
- 5:55Speaker 2: wing media in America and tell them just the opposite.
- 5:58Speaker 2: And then the left wing media takes their word for
- 6:00Speaker 2: it and doesn't take our word for it, which is crazy,
- 6:02Speaker 2: the fact that they look at the enemy foreign government
- 6:05Speaker 2: and believe them and take their word as more credible
- 6:09Speaker 2: than the United States because they hate Trump so much.
- 6:12Speaker 2: And that's what has happened with much of our quote
- 6:15Speaker 2: unquote mainstream media shifting gears now seven to ten wo
- 6:19Speaker 2: R the voice of New York Ken Rozanno win from
- 6:21Speaker 2: Mark on Friday and Mayor Mom Donnie. He is urging,
- 6:25Speaker 2: he has urged New Yorkers to do all sorts of things.
- 6:28Speaker 2: He's sold New Yorkers a bag of goods in terms
- 6:31Speaker 2: of promising free buses didn't happen, free grocery stores didn't happen,
- 6:37Speaker 2: All sorts of freebies not going to happen. Rint freezing, Okay,
- 6:41Speaker 2: So he appoints people to the Rent Control Board and
- 6:44Speaker 2: they say that we will freeze the rents. And now
- 6:47Speaker 2: you have landlords who will likely win in court, who
- 6:49Speaker 2: are suing the Rent Control Board because you cannot impose
- 6:53Speaker 2: on the one side, massive fees and regulations. And then
- 6:58Speaker 2: on the other side, not all those landlords to increase
- 7:02Speaker 2: the rent because they got to get the money from somewhere.
- 7:04Speaker 2: They're not in business renting property for charity sake. That's
- 7:09Speaker 2: not why they bought property, nor should they be expected
- 7:12Speaker 2: to be there for charity sake, even if they just
- 7:15Speaker 2: are allowed to break even. But the idea that you
- 7:17Speaker 2: should impose rules on landlords. And by the way, the
- 7:21Speaker 2: biggest landlord in the city is the city. And guess
- 7:24Speaker 2: who usually breaks all the rules in terms of maintaining
- 7:27Speaker 2: their buildings. Yeah, you got it.
- 7:29Speaker 3: The city.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Momdanie, do you get arrested for having buildings not kept
- 7:34Speaker 2: up to speed? No, you don't, but you'll go after
- 7:37Speaker 2: the landlord who maybe was left the building by a
- 7:40Speaker 2: father or grandfather whatever, left the building after the passing
- 7:44Speaker 2: of that relative and could barely afford to pay the
- 7:47Speaker 2: inheritance taxes, etc. And now you come after them and say, okay,
- 7:50Speaker 2: now you have to produce all of this for the
- 7:53Speaker 2: individuals who live in that building, and you're not allowed
- 7:55Speaker 2: to collect enough rent to run it. But you have
- 7:57Speaker 2: to follow all these rules because if you don't, the
- 7:59Speaker 2: city he'll come to take over your building. That's the
- 8:02Speaker 2: way that the liberal mindset works, because the liberal mindset,
- 8:06Speaker 2: the super liberal, the socialist mindset, is that everything belongs
- 8:10Speaker 2: to the collective, to the people, and you're lucky if
- 8:13Speaker 2: you are allowed to kind of hang on to it
- 8:16Speaker 2: for a little bit and make a few dollars on it.
- 8:18Speaker 2: But don't forget the city or the people own everything.
- 8:22Speaker 2: And that's the sickness that is socialism. It has never worked,
- 8:25Speaker 2: it never will work because it takes away incentive if
- 8:29Speaker 2: you're going to wake up tired one day you feel achy,
- 8:33Speaker 2: Why would you get out of bed and go to
- 8:34Speaker 2: work if you're going to get exactly the same pay
- 8:37Speaker 2: at the end of the day as the guy who's
- 8:39Speaker 2: been up working twenty hours, sweating, breaking his bones. Why
- 8:43Speaker 2: why would you bother getting out of bed. There's got
- 8:46Speaker 2: to be a reward system, all right. When you negotiate,
- 8:51Speaker 2: I put in air quotes with your child. You say, hey,
- 8:53Speaker 2: if you do X, Y and Z, mommy, I'll give
- 8:55Speaker 2: you a treat. Daddy will take you such and such,
- 8:57Speaker 2: We'll take you to the parks. The way we work,
- 9:00Speaker 2: we work with incentive. Okay, we know that there's something
- 9:03Speaker 2: good that comes of what we do. As adults. We
- 9:06Speaker 2: eat vegetables, in many cases, not because we think they're
- 9:09Speaker 2: all yummy, but because we know we need them. Now
- 9:11Speaker 2: I've learned to think they're yummy, But it took me
- 9:13Speaker 2: a while when I was a gain a goodn't stand
- 9:15Speaker 2: my vegetables. But you know that, hey, it's going to
- 9:17Speaker 2: be good for us, So you do that for the reward,
- 9:20Speaker 2: all right. That's what we do, and that's why socialism
- 9:23Speaker 2: does not and never will work, because the reward system
- 9:26Speaker 2: is gone eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten,
- 9:30Speaker 2: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten. It's
- 9:33Speaker 2: Ken rosottow in for Mark on your Friday. So Mom,
- 9:37Speaker 2: Donnie going back to him and talking about, of course
- 9:41Speaker 2: Benjamin Thattt and Yaho, the Prime Minister of Israel coming
- 9:43Speaker 2: here in September, as he always does to speak to
- 9:47Speaker 2: the UN General Assembly or to be part of it.
- 9:49Speaker 2: He usually does speak. Now you have, Mam Donni. First,
- 9:53Speaker 2: he was saying that he was threatening to arrest the
- 9:56Speaker 2: Prime Minister. Of course, he has no authority to arrest anyway.
- 9:59Speaker 2: He has to have the n do it. But he
- 10:02Speaker 2: is the boss of the NYPD. And you can imagine
- 10:04Speaker 2: the conversation see and Commissioner Tish may have had behind
- 10:06Speaker 2: closed doors, and Commissioner Tish being the only adult of
- 10:09Speaker 2: the two of them, Commissioner Tish would have said, I'm
- 10:12Speaker 2: not gonna do it. I'm not going to have our
- 10:14Speaker 2: men and women put their careers at stake and potentially
- 10:18Speaker 2: be arrested by the FEDS for breaking the law because
- 10:21Speaker 2: you say so. So it ain't gonna happen. So I
- 10:25Speaker 2: don't know that that was the conversation. But my guess
- 10:27Speaker 2: is it went something like that, and Mom Donnie then
- 10:30Speaker 2: comes out after years, Remember he has threatened to have
- 10:34Speaker 2: Netanyahu arrested from when he was an assemblyman. When when
- 10:39Speaker 2: Mom Donnie was an assemblyman, he was talking about this
- 10:41Speaker 2: and urging it, and as he was running for mayor
- 10:44Speaker 2: he was urging it. And now that he is mayor,
- 10:46Speaker 2: you know, he came out and said that he will
- 10:48Speaker 2: do whatever he can possibly do to arrest I keep
- 10:53Speaker 2: mixing them up. I don't know why, but to arrest yeah, well,
- 10:57Speaker 2: I guess somebody got to him and said, you can't
- 10:59Speaker 2: do that, and if you do that, you could be
- 11:00Speaker 2: arrested by the Feds. So now he makes his proclamation
- 11:03Speaker 2: that we've tried everything and exhausted everything and we can't
- 11:06Speaker 2: arrest net Yahoo. However, the good Mayor has come out
- 11:10Speaker 2: and urged New Yorkers to take to the streets in
- 11:14Speaker 2: protests when Netting Yahoo is here. Now, freedom of speech, right,
- 11:19Speaker 2: You're allowed to assemble, You're allowed to protest, you can
- 11:21Speaker 2: do that. But the people whom he is speaking to
- 11:25Speaker 2: are not the good kind, you know, stand there and
- 11:28Speaker 2: be quiet and hold a sign up protesters. These are
- 11:31Speaker 2: the agitators. These are the professionals. These are the people
- 11:34Speaker 2: who get paid by the Sorrows backed groups and get
- 11:38Speaker 2: busted in from all over the country. These are the
- 11:40Speaker 2: people who shout in the faces of ordinary New Yorkers
- 11:43Speaker 2: trying to get to work. These are the people who
- 11:45Speaker 2: glue themselves to buildings and cement themselves to roadways to
- 11:50Speaker 2: prevent your passage, to just be pains in the ass
- 11:54Speaker 2: to anybody just trying to do their job and live
- 11:56Speaker 2: as ordinary New Yorkers, to try to make a point,
- 12:00Speaker 2: and they're in a minuscule minority, but that doesn't matter.
- 12:04Speaker 2: They make their presence known in such a way that
- 12:06Speaker 2: it is frustrating and annoying to everyday people. And this
- 12:10Speaker 2: is what Mamdani is urging.
- 12:12Speaker 4: Now.
- 12:12Speaker 2: He's urging that the everyday New Yorkers take to the
- 12:14Speaker 2: streets and protest against the presence of Netnyahu in the fall.
- 12:19Speaker 2: And now the head of the New York at Police
- 12:20Speaker 2: Benevolent Association is saying, you're now going to put the
- 12:24Speaker 2: NYPD in danger because they're the ones who are going
- 12:28Speaker 2: to have to deal with these lunatics. Okay, look, if
- 12:31Speaker 2: you don't like this, let's just have the un no
- 12:34Speaker 2: longer be here. It probably would make sense anyway. You know,
- 12:37Speaker 2: Mamdani loves the Hague so much. Why did you put
- 12:41Speaker 2: the UN right next to the Hague. Go over somewhere
- 12:43Speaker 2: in the middle of Europe, where nobody wants to be,
- 12:45Speaker 2: in the middle of the fall, and that's where you
- 12:48Speaker 2: could have your protests. The New York is too densely
- 12:51Speaker 2: populated a city to have it here anyway. It's ridiculous,
- 12:54Speaker 2: But that's what this mayor is calling for. As if
- 12:57Speaker 2: we don't have enough issues, and as if it's not
- 12:59Speaker 2: crazy enough. In September when the UN is in session. Now,
- 13:03Speaker 2: Mom Donnie is urging New Yorkers to come out in protest.
- 13:06Speaker 2: What do you think about it? Eight hundred three to
- 13:08Speaker 2: two to one zero seven ten, eight hundred three to
- 13:11Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten. So you hear about the
- 13:13Speaker 2: lunatict went on the stabbing spree on the Upper West
- 13:16Speaker 2: Side yesterday. Curtis and Larry talked about this this morning.
- 13:19Speaker 2: It happened just about a mile or so up the
- 13:21Speaker 2: street from where I worked for twenty years at Channel seven.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Channel seven used to be at sixty seventh in Columbus,
- 13:27Speaker 2: right by Central Park West to block Over and this
- 13:31Speaker 2: happened in the eighties, I think about eighty seventh Street.
- 13:34Speaker 2: So apparently a man, the man who police identified his
- 13:38Speaker 2: fifty one year old security guard named Raoul Morales, who
- 13:42Speaker 2: himself lives on the Upper West Side. Police say he
- 13:46Speaker 2: stabbed two men randomly unprovoked, first a fifty seven year
- 13:50Speaker 2: old Asian man, then a fifty year old Jewish man
- 13:53Speaker 2: in separate unprovoked attacks, and witnesses say the man shouted
- 13:57Speaker 2: a La hu ak bar during both incidents and then
- 14:01Speaker 2: allegedly barricaded himself in his own apartment. The NYPD arrested
- 14:05Speaker 2: him and maybe charging him with hate crimes. Now the
- 14:08Speaker 2: good news is both victims are expected to survive, and
- 14:11Speaker 2: investigators say they're looking into Morales's mental state. You think,
- 14:15Speaker 2: I mean, who just goes out and stabs people randomly unprovoked?
- 14:19Speaker 2: You got to wonder, And while I don't know, and
- 14:23Speaker 2: what I'm about to saying go off on this tangent.
- 14:25Speaker 2: I don't know whether Morales smoked marijuana or not. I
- 14:29Speaker 2: don't know, but I will say this, in New York,
- 14:33Speaker 2: where you probably have two to three times the per
- 14:36Speaker 2: capital rate of people who are mentally unstable versus other
- 14:39Speaker 2: cities and other places in America. I've read those statistics.
- 14:42Speaker 2: I can't cite them right now, but I will find
- 14:45Speaker 2: them for anyone who wants to challenge me on that.
- 14:48Speaker 2: You have to wonder why it's happening and where marijuana
- 14:52Speaker 2: use has been tolerated for decades, including public marijuana use
- 14:57Speaker 2: for the most part. You could say, ken, Ken, my
- 14:58Speaker 2: kid got arrested in nineteen ninety two for having a
- 15:02Speaker 2: tenth of announced. Yes, that did happen too. I'm not
- 15:04Speaker 2: saying that everybody was able to smoke marijuana anywhere, but
- 15:08Speaker 2: marijuana sales today are not what they were fifty years ago,
- 15:12Speaker 2: and it's not the same marijuana, and the THHC levels
- 15:15Speaker 2: are so much higher. So now the little dirty issue
- 15:18Speaker 2: nobody wants to talk about is that now that marijuana
- 15:22Speaker 2: is legalized, we have a lot of effects happening. You
- 15:25Speaker 2: know that today's strong marijuana can lead to psychosis, can
- 15:29Speaker 2: lead to schizophrenia, can trigger psychotic episodes. Not my opinion,
- 15:34Speaker 2: You can google it. Go to the Google and check
- 15:37Speaker 2: it out. It increases anxiety and panic, exactly the opposite
- 15:40Speaker 2: of what you think marijuana does. Regular use can cause
- 15:43Speaker 2: high rates of depression, mood instability, thoughts of suicide. It
- 15:47Speaker 2: can cause cognitive, cognitive and memory impairment. And unlike everything
- 15:52Speaker 2: we were told that it is not addicting, well just
- 15:55Speaker 2: the opposite. In fact, we're told now that cannabis use
- 15:59Speaker 2: disorder can lead to dependence, addiction, and withdrawal symptoms, and
- 16:04Speaker 2: this can even lead to insomnia, severe mood swings. And
- 16:08Speaker 2: these are all the same people who were vilifying cigarette
- 16:11Speaker 2: smoking all these years, saying it causes lung cancer. Those
- 16:14Speaker 2: people stay amazingly quiet when you ask them if the
- 16:17Speaker 2: disgusting smell of marijuana use impacts our lungs like cigarette
- 16:20Speaker 2: smoke did. Right, Well, let me ask you something. If
- 16:23Speaker 2: smoking a filtered cigarette can lead to lung cancer, and
- 16:27Speaker 2: you don't really necessarily take a deep drag of a
- 16:29Speaker 2: cigarette like you would marijuana, then why do you think
- 16:33Speaker 2: taking a deep drag of an unfiltered marijuana cigarette and
- 16:37Speaker 2: holding that thick smoke in your lungs in order to
- 16:41Speaker 2: get the effect, and doing that over and over again,
- 16:43Speaker 2: why do you think that's not going to impact your
- 16:45Speaker 2: lungs and cause lung cancer. And every time I've had
- 16:49Speaker 2: a doctor on the show that I do in New
- 16:50Speaker 2: Jersey and the topic of lung cancer came up. They've
- 16:54Speaker 2: oway said, well, there's really no nexus between marijuana use
- 16:57Speaker 2: and lung cancer. Well, actually that is now not true.
- 17:00Speaker 2: There's actually a publication called lung Cancer. Yes, you could
- 17:04Speaker 2: use the Google to look that up too, and it
- 17:07Speaker 2: shows that people with cannabis use disorder. That means if
- 17:09Speaker 2: you smoke on a fairly regular basis, you have at
- 17:12Speaker 2: least four times the risk of developing lung cancer smoking
- 17:16Speaker 2: marijuana compared to non users. So enough of the myth
- 17:20Speaker 2: that pot is somehow good for you. And in states
- 17:23Speaker 2: where it was thought that licensed dispensaries would bring a
- 17:26Speaker 2: fortunate tax revenues hasn't happened. As California, the dispensaries are
- 17:29Speaker 2: actually suing the state because they're allowed to uh to
- 17:34Speaker 2: stay open, but illegal dispensaries right next door are allowed
- 17:38Speaker 2: to sell pot and they're not being taxed. So now
- 17:42Speaker 2: the legal dispensaries who have to follow the regulations and
- 17:44Speaker 2: get tax are suing the state. It's a mess. And
- 17:47Speaker 2: yet Governor Gavenussom out there says nothing, Why am I
- 17:50Speaker 2: bringing this up? Because it comes down to the mental
- 17:54Speaker 2: health situation, and no one's going to tell me that
- 17:57Speaker 2: the increased use of marijuana does not impact people's mental
- 18:00Speaker 2: health in the city of New York. All right, we
- 18:02Speaker 2: want to hear what you have to say right now.
- 18:04Speaker 2: The numbers eight hundred three to two, one zero seven ten.
- 18:07Speaker 2: We will take your calls beautiful sunshine today through Sunday
- 18:10Speaker 2: temps low eighties and zoron mom Donnie's threats to arrest
- 18:13Speaker 2: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Attigna, who we will continue talking
- 18:16Speaker 2: to that about that with Fox News legal analyst Greg Jarrett.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Just a little bit calls next though, eight hundred three
- 18:22Speaker 2: to two, one zero seven ten.
- 18:24Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on seven ten. Wr
- 18:28Speaker 1: Ken from Mark Today, Here's Ken Rosatto and.
- 18:33Speaker 2: Very good to be with you on a beautiful Friday.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Straight to our busy phones. Let's go to Bill in
- 18:37Speaker 2: New Jersey. Good morning, Bill, Hey, Ken, how are you
- 18:41Speaker 2: truly good to hear you again?
- 18:42Speaker 5: Thank you for being on the show. And two quick points.
- 18:47Speaker 5: The knucklehead and mayor of New York City. The average
- 18:51Speaker 5: American would realize, and you don't have to be a
- 18:55Speaker 5: lawyer to realize this, that you cannot file a suit
- 18:58Speaker 5: against a man another again, another country and bring him
- 19:01Speaker 5: to justice in your country. The venue is all out
- 19:04Speaker 5: of wack. He doesn't know what he's doing. He's an
- 19:07Speaker 5: educated idiot, and unfortunately, you have many educated idiots in
- 19:12Speaker 5: Manhattan that voted for this embecile. So the whole place
- 19:17Speaker 5: is going to hell.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Well, you know, think about this, if I could just
- 19:20Speaker 2: jump and built that in Manhattan. You know that in
- 19:22Speaker 2: New York, not just Manhattan, but in New York. Do
- 19:24Speaker 2: you know that fifty percent of the people here and
- 19:26Speaker 2: I chuckle because it's just an I'm incredulous to it,
- 19:29Speaker 2: fifty percent are not born here. Now take that as
- 19:34Speaker 2: you will. But the reason why that matters if fifty
- 19:37Speaker 2: percent of the people come from a place where things
- 19:40Speaker 2: are done differently and we don't have the same rules
- 19:43Speaker 2: as them, et cetera, in the same traditions, is it
- 19:46Speaker 2: shocking that fifty percent of the people might say, go ahead,
- 19:49Speaker 2: arrest them, who cares because they don't understand that that's
- 19:52Speaker 2: not what we do here.
- 19:55Speaker 5: I think I think that what you just said, well
- 19:58Speaker 5: I hope I'm wrong, will eventually change the culture and
- 20:03Speaker 5: take away America for what it really truly stands for.
- 20:07Speaker 5: Because we will, they will vote for people like this
- 20:10Speaker 5: who want to change everything and everything that America stands for.
- 20:14Speaker 5: And it's damn scary.
- 20:16Speaker 2: These real people who hate America. Bill, that's the key.
- 20:19Speaker 2: They don't like America as it is. They want to
- 20:21Speaker 2: change it. And remember that communism only works for the communists.
- 20:25Speaker 2: That's the problem. Patton Scarz always say good morning to you.
- 20:28Speaker 6: Hey, hey, Ken, how are you doing good?
- 20:30Speaker 7: Thank you good.
- 20:32Speaker 6: I called Mark last week and I said, you know,
- 20:34Speaker 6: usually when the host is on vacation, they have the
- 20:38Speaker 6: B team, but you are not only the eight, You're
- 20:40Speaker 6: the A team.
- 20:40Speaker 7: You're the A plus team.
- 20:41Speaker 2: Oh man, thank you so much, and listen and I
- 20:43Speaker 2: say it all the time, and I mean it. Mark
- 20:45Speaker 2: knows it because I've already kissed his ring a few times.
- 20:48Speaker 2: I am the biggest marximone fan. I don't think there's
- 20:50Speaker 2: a listener right now who's a bigger marximone fan than me.
- 20:53Speaker 2: I think that's why it works, because I love the
- 20:55Speaker 2: men so much that I'm just humbled to be sitting
- 20:58Speaker 2: in the seat. But I appreciate your kind word.
- 21:00Speaker 6: I just have one other quick question for you, if
- 21:02Speaker 6: I may, well, yeah, go right ahead. That oh yeah,
- 21:07Speaker 6: when there's a regular contributors that appear on the radio weekly.
- 21:11Speaker 6: I know Warner Wolf comes on a thing. Are they compensated?
- 21:15Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 21:16Speaker 2: That's a very good question. Yeah, do you know this
- 21:19Speaker 2: is I don't know. I'm just looking at our engineer.
- 21:22Speaker 8: I really don't know.
- 21:22Speaker 2: I'm only I'm only a freelancer. I come in, and
- 21:25Speaker 2: I mean when we when you are a fill in host,
- 21:27Speaker 2: you do get compensation. Sometimes sometimes they don't. I mean
- 21:31Speaker 2: it's you could be a guest or a freelancer whatever,
- 21:33Speaker 2: but you know it's it's we do it. I think
- 21:36Speaker 2: for the most part, we do because we love it.
- 21:38Speaker 2: You know, I come in, I wouldn't care. We don't
- 21:40Speaker 2: let the boss hear this. I wouldn't care if the
- 21:42Speaker 2: boss didn't give me a penny. You know, I'm thrilled
- 21:45Speaker 2: to come in and feeling. But yeah, honestly, with Wonder
- 21:48Speaker 2: and all, I don't know not something. But some of them,
- 21:51Speaker 2: if you ask the bosses you get write a little note,
- 21:52Speaker 2: they'll they'll probably talk to you about it.
- 21:54Speaker 6: Yeah, Okay, I'm just curious because some of them are
- 21:57Speaker 6: are just ordinary, but some of them are really like superstars,
- 21:59Speaker 6: and they really it's just a joy listening to them.
- 22:02Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like I mean, we have two guests
- 22:05Speaker 2: on during this show in the next two hours. They
- 22:08Speaker 2: don't get compensated. These are their Newsmaker types. They don't
- 22:11Speaker 2: get compensated. But I don't know. I can't. It's not
- 22:14Speaker 2: that I'm trying to hide the answer. I just don't
- 22:16Speaker 2: know the answer. But that's a good question.
- 22:17Speaker 6: Okay, all right, Well, keep up the good work.
- 22:19Speaker 7: Ken. We love you.
- 22:20Speaker 2: Thank you, Path that's very very kind. You made my
- 22:22Speaker 2: day and you made my mother smile. I appreciate, Thank you.
- 22:25Speaker 2: My have a good day.
- 22:27Speaker 6: Okay, you too, fine on all right.
- 22:29Speaker 2: We go to Joe Elwood Park. Good morning to you.
- 22:32Speaker 9: Good morning, Ken. Have a quick history lesson. There was
- 22:35Speaker 9: a man in the eighteen nineties who wanted to build
- 22:37Speaker 9: a amusement park, and he fixed an election, and he
- 22:41Speaker 9: wound up and sing saying hard labor for six years.
- 22:45Speaker 9: So that's to Phil Murphy and our dear sweet helicopter
- 22:50Speaker 9: governor bird brain Shirley.
- 22:53Speaker 2: And that's what the kindest part of your heart I'd
- 22:55Speaker 2: like to hear what the bad part of your heart
- 22:57Speaker 2: has to.
- 22:57Speaker 3: Say about her.
- 22:58Speaker 2: There you go, Well, we're gonna be talking about her
- 23:00Speaker 2: Later in the next hour, I got somebody from njadvance Media.
- 23:04Speaker 2: That's the folks at NJ dot com and whatnot. We're
- 23:07Speaker 2: going to be talking about the good governor of New Jersey, Joe.
- 23:10Speaker 2: Thank you so much for calling. We appreciate it. And
- 23:13Speaker 2: it is now ten thirty five. For those of you listening,
- 23:16Speaker 2: this is Ken Rosotto in for the great Mark Simone,
- 23:19Speaker 2: and coming up we have well you haven't heard the
- 23:22Speaker 2: last of Mayor mom Donnie's threats to arrest Israeli Prime
- 23:25Speaker 2: Minister Benjamin Yeah, we're going to talk to Fox News
- 23:27Speaker 2: legal analyst Greg Jarrett about it.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Now, more of the Mark Simone Show on seven to
- 23:33Speaker 1: ten wo R Filling in for Mark.
- 23:36Speaker 8: Here again is Ken Rosatto with.
- 23:39Speaker 2: You on a beautiful Friday. Again, if you're just tuning in,
- 23:42Speaker 2: you say, wait a minute, we're going to get the
- 23:44Speaker 2: rain later, Sanders. No, it's beautiful today, Tomorrow's Sunday sunshine,
- 23:49Speaker 2: not too hot, not too humid, heights only in the
- 23:51Speaker 2: low eighties. Enjoy what probably is gonna be the best
- 23:54Speaker 2: summer of the entire weekend. Ken Rosotto went former New
- 23:56Speaker 2: York City news anchor Channel seven for twenty years. I
- 23:59Speaker 2: was Channel five anchoring Good to New York before that.
- 24:02Speaker 2: But it's nice to be with you today. And if
- 24:04Speaker 2: you have had your head in the sand and haven't
- 24:07Speaker 2: been paying attention. Mayor Zorn Mumdani has been threatening to
- 24:12Speaker 2: arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Ettannyah who for several years now,
- 24:16Speaker 2: even from his days as a New York State Assemblyman.
- 24:18Speaker 2: He cited the International Criminal Court which issued a twenty
- 24:22Speaker 2: twenty four arrest warrant for NETANYAHUO over the war in Gaza.
- 24:26Speaker 2: Remember Hamas invaded Israel October seventh of twenty three, slaughtering
- 24:30Speaker 2: over twelve hundred innocent people, many in their sleep. So
- 24:33Speaker 2: all Prime Minister Netanya who did was respond to that. Now,
- 24:37Speaker 2: the US does not and has never submitted to the
- 24:40Speaker 2: decisions of the ICC, but without any authority to do so,
- 24:44Speaker 2: Mamdani has threatened to arrest net Yahoo when he comes
- 24:47Speaker 2: to the US for the UN General Assembly in September.
- 24:50Speaker 2: With US right now, Fox News legal analyst Greg Jarrett
- 24:53Speaker 2: here to talk about it. Truly one of my favorite
- 24:54Speaker 2: people on Fox News.
- 24:55Speaker 3: Greg.
- 24:56Speaker 2: I now will bother on and on about how much
- 24:59Speaker 2: I love watching it, but it's good to have you answered.
- 25:02Speaker 3: Thank you can, I appreciate it.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Well, So you see a guy like this, call him,
- 25:06Speaker 2: I call him the boy mayor. You see a guy
- 25:09Speaker 2: like this who stupidly comes out and publicly proclaims that
- 25:13Speaker 2: he will have Net and Yahoo arrested, which number one,
- 25:16Speaker 2: he as a mayor can't do.
- 25:17Speaker 8: It's up to the.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Police commission in the police department, and they're not going
- 25:21Speaker 2: to be so stupid, knowing what the law is to
- 25:23Speaker 2: do that. Why would he even come forward and say that.
- 25:27Speaker 4: Well, as one of the great American philosophers, Forrest Gump said,
- 25:32Speaker 4: you know, stupid is as stupid does. And you're right
- 25:36Speaker 4: that you know, this is a boy mayor who never
- 25:41Speaker 4: held a real job, never built anything, never accomplished anything.
- 25:46Speaker 4: He's he's young and doesn't know much. But you know,
- 25:49Speaker 4: I think even a high school civic student, you know,
- 25:53Speaker 4: would red flag this idea of arresting that and Yahoo
- 25:59Speaker 4: recognize there's got to be something wrong with it, and
- 26:02Speaker 4: there's several things wrong with it. First of all, a
- 26:05Speaker 4: municipal mayor does not have the authority to arrest anyone.
- 26:10Speaker 4: Second of all, as you point out, the ICC is
- 26:15Speaker 4: a joke. America never signed on to it. In fact,
- 26:19Speaker 4: we rejected it, and in past a law that you
- 26:25Speaker 4: know makes it illegal for anybody to follow its dictates.
- 26:31Speaker 4: And the third, if Mondoni were dumb enough, then he
- 26:36Speaker 4: might be to try to detain or arrest in Yahoo.
- 26:44Speaker 4: Mondomi would find himself arrested by the FBI and prosecuted
- 26:48Speaker 4: by the EJ for kidnapping, because there's a specific federal
- 26:53Speaker 4: law that you know says that internationally protected people who
- 26:58Speaker 4: were guessing the United States, he cannot be taken into custody.
- 27:05Speaker 4: If they are, it's kidnapping. And if you conspire with
- 27:08Speaker 4: others to do so, as it appears Mondoni was trying
- 27:12Speaker 4: to do, and you take an avert act, that's conspiracy
- 27:18Speaker 4: to commit kidnapping. I am sure that after Mondomi hauled
- 27:24Speaker 4: off and issued the threat of arresting net Yahu, that
- 27:29Speaker 4: the lawyers that work for his administration yanked him into
- 27:33Speaker 4: a nearby office and said, you can't do this for
- 27:37Speaker 4: the reasons I just explained, and then sheepishly Mondana had
- 27:41Speaker 4: to back off of his ridiculous idea. And now he's
- 27:47Speaker 4: got a new idea. He is encouraging people to take
- 27:51Speaker 4: to the streets, which risks the safety of the NYPD
- 27:57Speaker 4: to protest Yahoo. So you know, this is what you
- 28:02Speaker 4: get when you elect a boy mayor andn't known anything.
- 28:06Speaker 2: I think I find it ironic that this is the
- 28:09Speaker 2: same guy who refuses to enforce federal law when it
- 28:13Speaker 2: comes to things like illegal migrants, which is something that
- 28:16Speaker 2: we are subordinate to and subjected to in the City
- 28:20Speaker 2: of New York. But yet he wants to follow international
- 28:23Speaker 2: law which we have never signed on to and enforced that.
- 28:27Speaker 2: From New York City's perspective, it just is mind boggling
- 28:30Speaker 2: that this is the person in charge of the city.
- 28:33Speaker 3: Well, it really is.
- 28:35Speaker 4: And of course he loves to confer sanctuary status to
- 28:40Speaker 4: people who.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Are here illegally breaking the law.
- 28:45Speaker 4: And I argued a long time ago and in several
- 28:47Speaker 4: different columns, that it's high time for the federal government
- 28:52Speaker 4: to go after sanctuary jurisdictions because it's a crime to
- 29:00Speaker 4: harbor people who are here illegally. It's a further crime
- 29:05Speaker 4: to interfere obstruct in federal enforcement.
- 29:10Speaker 3: Of immigration laws.
- 29:12Speaker 4: But that's what we have seen in places like New
- 29:16Speaker 4: York and out in California, where they openly defy federal
- 29:22Speaker 4: law and provide sanctuary, and you know there are several
- 29:27Speaker 4: ways you can go after these people, both civilly but
- 29:30Speaker 4: also criminally, and maybe it's time that people be prosecuted.
- 29:34Speaker 2: Well, the fact that you have local municipalities all over
- 29:37Speaker 2: the country, the sanctuary cities and states saying that we
- 29:41Speaker 2: are under no obligation to enforce federal law.
- 29:44Speaker 8: That's up to you.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Okay, Well, kidnapping is a federal law, yet local police
- 29:49Speaker 2: enforce that, and so is harboring a fugitive, kidnapping and
- 29:54Speaker 2: taking people across state lines. How about bank robbery? That's
- 29:58Speaker 2: a federal offense, right, the FBI gets involved in that,
- 30:01Speaker 2: but yet they'll follow the law from a local perspective.
- 30:04Speaker 2: And of course I know you're a lawyer, Greg, and
- 30:06Speaker 2: lawyers will say yes, but Ken, that's because there are
- 30:08Speaker 2: simultaneous local and state laws. Yes, but you involved the
- 30:12Speaker 2: FBI for those things. Don't tell me the local police say,
- 30:16Speaker 2: oh no, FBI, you can't get involved in this bankrupt er.
- 30:19Speaker 2: Of course they do, but yet when it comes to
- 30:21Speaker 2: something they don't like, they then selectively choose not to
- 30:25Speaker 2: have any.
- 30:25Speaker 10: Part of it.
- 30:27Speaker 4: Yeah, I think a lot of it. And look, I
- 30:29Speaker 4: speak as a lawyer for forty six years. You know,
- 30:33Speaker 4: a lot of it comes down to a lack of
- 30:35Speaker 4: knowledge of the law, which is why you know politicians
- 30:40Speaker 4: generally have a faylanx of lawyers to advise them. And
- 30:44Speaker 4: I'll give you another example. You know, wealth taxes, which
- 30:49Speaker 4: you know Rocanna is pushing representative from California far left liberal,
- 30:55Speaker 4: but Mondommie is well, you know in New York at
- 30:59Speaker 4: some point in time, you know there will be lawsuits
- 31:05Speaker 4: filed to stop it because wealth taxes are a violation
- 31:10Speaker 4: of the Constitution, and in particular the sixteenth Amendment, which
- 31:15Speaker 4: imposed income tax. But you know, wealth tax is not income.
- 31:22Speaker 4: It's assets that go up and down. You're not taxing
- 31:26Speaker 4: somebody when they take the income that's part of their
- 31:32Speaker 4: wealth invested in tax and bonds and businesses and so forth.
- 31:38Speaker 4: And a constitution says direct taxes must be apportioned by
- 31:41Speaker 4: state population. Well that's not what this wealth tax is.
- 31:48Speaker 4: So you know, this is a violation of Supreme Court rulings.
- 31:53Speaker 4: It's a violation of the sixteenth Amendment. I think it's
- 31:56Speaker 4: only a matter of time when the you know, wealth
- 32:01Speaker 4: tax goes the way of the Dodo bird, because it's
- 32:04Speaker 4: blatantly unconstitutional.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Now, let's penalize people for their success and working hard
- 32:09Speaker 2: to contribute to society. And in this case, as you
- 32:12Speaker 2: point out, this is not We're not talking about taxing
- 32:14Speaker 2: income from their successes. We're talking about assuming, at this
- 32:18Speaker 2: point in time what their total worth is and taxing
- 32:22Speaker 2: it based on that, which tomorrow the buildings I own
- 32:24Speaker 2: could all burn down and they could be worthless.
- 32:27Speaker 8: So you can't tell it exactly exactly.
- 32:31Speaker 4: And you know, what they fail to recognize is that
- 32:36Speaker 4: wealthy people invest in businesses that drive jobs and innovation.
- 32:43Speaker 4: You take that away and it harms jobs and innovation
- 32:49Speaker 4: and businesses, which hurts society as a whole.
- 32:52Speaker 2: Oh stop your logic.
- 32:53Speaker 3: Nice, yeah, stop it.
- 32:55Speaker 4: You know, I mean it really is. It's fundamental economic
- 33:01Speaker 4: and it's fundamental law. And these people who push this,
- 33:06Speaker 4: like Montammi and you know, the squad and Rocanna and
- 33:13Speaker 4: Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, their bereaft of knowledge
- 33:17Speaker 4: of both fundamental economics and the law.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Unfortunately, they're like candy to children. They speak to the
- 33:24Speaker 2: lowest common denominator and get people agitated and all excited.
- 33:27Speaker 4: It holds really well for them, which is why they
- 33:30Speaker 4: do it, because they only care about perpetuating their own
- 33:33Speaker 4: power and elevating it.
- 33:35Speaker 2: All right, well, we are unfortunately at a time I
- 33:37Speaker 2: could talk to you all day, my friend. I appreciate
- 33:39Speaker 2: you taking the time today. Fox News Legal analyst Greg Jarrett, Attorney,

- 35:09Speaker 2: I mean the overnight crew was still here when I
- 35:11Speaker 2: got in. That's how early I got it. There was
- 35:13Speaker 2: no traffic. Now, of course I've jinxed myself for the
- 35:16Speaker 2: next time I got to come in. But it was
- 35:18Speaker 2: a lovely ride. And Manhattan when it's not congested is
- 35:22Speaker 2: one of the most beautiful places you could be. Just
- 35:25Speaker 2: the fresh area. Hear the birds chirping, well, the few
- 35:28Speaker 2: birds's two of them they're hired. They only chirp their
- 35:31Speaker 2: union birds. They chirp from like eight am to eight
- 35:33Speaker 2: oh five, and then they get relieved. But that's a
- 35:35Speaker 2: whole Then you got the understudy birds who come on
- 35:38Speaker 2: and they're part of sag after. But that's a whole
- 35:40Speaker 2: other story. But it's just such a beautiful morning to
- 35:43Speaker 2: be around New York City, and I hope you get
- 35:45Speaker 2: the opportunities sometime. It is still the greatest city in
- 35:48Speaker 2: the country and in the world, no matter the crazy
- 35:51Speaker 2: is running it right now. This is Ken rozanto In
- 35:53Speaker 2: And yes, I was the news anchor Channel seven for
- 35:56Speaker 2: a full twenty years. I anchored the morning news there
- 36:00Speaker 2: three and a half hours a day. We did the
- 36:02Speaker 2: two and a half hour morning show and then we
- 36:03Speaker 2: did a noon show for a while. A good chunk
- 36:06Speaker 2: of those years it was great, a lot of good
- 36:09Speaker 2: times here Channel seven. It's a TV in general is
- 36:13Speaker 2: different today. It's not what it was when I was there,
- 36:17Speaker 2: And even when I was there, it wasn't what it
- 36:19Speaker 2: was during the days of Roger Grimsby and Bill bu Teil.
- 36:22Speaker 2: That was a whole other era that was it'll never
- 36:25Speaker 2: be duplicated when that was when TV rained in cities
- 36:30Speaker 2: like New York, and you couldn't even walk out of
- 36:32Speaker 2: the building without one hundred people mobbing you. When I started,
- 36:36Speaker 2: I guess anchoring there it was still there was still
- 36:39Speaker 2: you know, you came out, you walk down the street,
- 36:40Speaker 2: people recognize you. Today, people just aren't watching anymore. They're
- 36:45Speaker 2: looking at their phones. They get their news, they just
- 36:48Speaker 2: don't watch what we call linear broadcast television, where you
- 36:52Speaker 2: you know that a newscast comes on at noon, Let
- 36:54Speaker 2: me rush to the TV and watch that newscast. You
- 36:57Speaker 2: ask one hundred people, you might find one too say yes,
- 37:01Speaker 2: I have it on, probably because they're home recovering from
- 37:04Speaker 2: surgery or something and they happen to have the TV
- 37:06Speaker 2: and at that time, otherwise it just isn't happening. And
- 37:09Speaker 2: what we're hearing and reading is layoffs at the different
- 37:12Speaker 2: stations and networks, one after another. I know a lot
- 37:15Speaker 2: of people say, ah, I don't feel bad for them,
- 37:17Speaker 2: they make a lot of money. Well, you'd be surprised.
- 37:20Speaker 2: TV people don't make what they used to make. Not
- 37:22Speaker 2: that they're making terrible money, but you know, back in
- 37:25Speaker 2: the day they used to make you had the anchors,
- 37:27Speaker 2: the big time anchors.
- 37:28Speaker 8: Not me.
- 37:29Speaker 2: I wasn't the big time anchor, but the big time
- 37:31Speaker 2: anchors used to pull into the two to three million
- 37:34Speaker 2: dollar range. You do, You will not find a local
- 37:37Speaker 2: news anchor in America with that kind of income. Today
- 37:40Speaker 2: they don't make anywhere near that, and it's going down
- 37:43Speaker 2: and down as advertising revenues for TV continues to shrink.
- 37:47Speaker 2: We could talk about that if you want to ask,
- 37:49Speaker 2: I could. I could tell what I'm allowed to tell
- 37:52Speaker 2: that it is non contractual, but you give us a
- 37:54Speaker 2: call at eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten.
- 37:58Speaker 2: But yeah, people love to They always can front me
- 38:00Speaker 2: and say, hey, well, Channel seven, what was it like?
- 38:02Speaker 3: It was terrible? About?
- 38:03Speaker 2: No, Channel seven was awesome. I had twenty of the
- 38:07Speaker 2: most unbelievably wonderful years. I don't have a negative thought
- 38:13Speaker 2: or feeling of my years at seven, or my years
- 38:16Speaker 2: at five, my year at five, I was there thirteen months.
- 38:20Speaker 2: Just I wish everyone in their lifetime can get a
- 38:24Speaker 2: run with such joy as I had during that time.
- 38:29Speaker 7: You know.
- 38:30Speaker 2: But yet I'm enjoying my life very much.
- 38:31Speaker 4: Now.
- 38:32Speaker 2: What am I doing these days, aside from getting the
- 38:35Speaker 2: luxury and honor of filling in for the best talk
- 38:38Speaker 2: show host on the planet, Mark Simone. When I'm not
- 38:42Speaker 2: doing this, I am hosting a morning show in New
- 38:45Speaker 2: Jersey as a channel called on New Jersey onj dot com.
- 38:49Speaker 2: You can stream it from anywhere, and I get to
- 38:52Speaker 2: do that show out of my house. I have a
- 38:54Speaker 2: full studio built in the basement, and my commute is
- 38:58Speaker 2: exactly twenty six second. I've timed it, and I'm wearing
- 39:03Speaker 2: shorts from the waist down and I'm wearing a suit
- 39:05Speaker 2: from the waist up. And that's the way I do
- 39:07Speaker 2: the show every day, take phone calls and everything. It's
- 39:10Speaker 2: just a lot of fun doing doing it, doing something
- 39:13Speaker 2: the way I always kind of dreamed of doing it,
- 39:16Speaker 2: and doing that on a daily basis is just a joy.
- 39:19Speaker 2: But someday you check us out there. Otherwise, we want
- 39:21Speaker 2: you to stay glued right here seven ten w R. Again,
- 39:25Speaker 2: the number is eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Well,
- 39:29Speaker 2: if you listen to Curtis and Larry this morning, they
- 39:32Speaker 2: talked about what happened yesterday on the Upper West Side.
- 39:35Speaker 2: If you weren't privy to it, Madison, I'm actually I'm
- 39:39Speaker 2: now mixing two stories. What happened on the Upper West
- 39:42Speaker 2: Side was the stabbing. A guy goes on a stabbing spree,
- 39:46Speaker 2: and this happened yesterday midday. Apparently a fifty one year
- 39:51Speaker 2: old security guard. According to the nypd' his name was
- 39:55Speaker 2: Raoul Morales. He lives on the Upper West and police
- 39:58Speaker 2: say he stabbed to men, first of fifty seven year
- 40:02Speaker 2: old Asian man, then a fifty year old Jewish man
- 40:04Speaker 2: who was wearing a yamica. And that's important. These are
- 40:07Speaker 2: two separate, unprovoked attacks. Why was it important that I
- 40:12Speaker 2: mentioned this? Well, if you are going to perpetrate a
- 40:15Speaker 2: hate crime, an Asian man would be evidently Asian, Heysian,
- 40:21Speaker 2: I'm mixing up my words here, Asian by virtue of
- 40:25Speaker 2: their looks. And a Jewish man you would assume is
- 40:28Speaker 2: evidently Jewish by virtue of the yamica. And based on
- 40:32Speaker 2: those facts, police say they will be charging this man
- 40:36Speaker 2: with a hate crime. He allegedly approached the two of
- 40:40Speaker 2: them unprovoked, stabbed each and screamed in each case Allahu Akbar.
- 40:45Speaker 2: Now does that mean he's Muslim? Maybe not. We don't know.
- 40:48Speaker 2: We have no idea. He could be mentally unstable, and
- 40:51Speaker 2: that's what is apparently the case. So right now, if
- 40:55Speaker 2: he's not Muszlim, they're Muslim saying, see, you blame us,
- 40:57Speaker 2: and this guy has nothing to do with us. He's
- 40:59Speaker 2: just a nutshout now to a Llahu akbar.
- 41:01Speaker 3: We don't know.
- 41:02Speaker 2: He may be mussleheem. He may not be. We're just
- 41:04Speaker 2: telling you that that's what he shouted out based on
- 41:07Speaker 2: what witnesses say. But he may be mentally unstable, and
- 41:11Speaker 2: that's what's being investigated. But he then went and barricaded
- 41:14Speaker 2: himself in his apartment. NYPD says they went and arrested
- 41:18Speaker 2: him and may charge him with hate crimes. But now
- 41:20Speaker 2: you have Jewish leaders in New York, and I believe
- 41:23Speaker 2: rightfully so blasting Mayor mam Donni after the stabbings, demanding
- 41:28Speaker 2: hate crime charges. Don't just look into it, do it.
- 41:31Speaker 2: And they're saying, stop fanning the flames of hatred and division.
- 41:35Speaker 2: So when you hear Mamdani speaking anti Netan, Yahoo, anti Israel,
- 41:42Speaker 2: pro Islam and pro Gaza, etc. Pro Palestine, over and
- 41:46Speaker 2: over again and from the river to the sea and
- 41:50Speaker 2: all of that, you know this is only going to foster,
- 41:53Speaker 2: especially people right on the edge who are mentally unstable
- 41:57Speaker 2: or ride at the pivot point, you're gonna push him over.
- 42:00Speaker 2: And we again, we don't know if that's the case here,
- 42:03Speaker 2: but it's sure as heck looks like it could be.
- 42:05Speaker 2: So we'd like to know what you have to say
- 42:07Speaker 2: about that. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
- 42:10Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Another big
- 42:15Speaker 2: story that happened, of course, Madison, Wisconsin cop or rather Madison, Wisconsin,
- 42:22Speaker 2: have stopped a man named Corey Durell Ruiz who stabbed
- 42:28Speaker 2: a cop breaking into cars while trying to get away.
- 42:32Speaker 2: He was shot dead by police. The video that they
- 42:35Speaker 2: are showing is from people standing around at different angles,
- 42:38Speaker 2: so it doesn't show the whole picture, if you will.
- 42:41Speaker 2: Police shot him dead after he allegedly stabbed a cop.
- 42:49Speaker 2: So now the question is this should be this should
- 42:52Speaker 2: be opening. Shot right, you stab a cop, you get
- 42:55Speaker 2: shot dead. All right, case closed. But you have people
- 42:58Speaker 2: screaming that the police are hunting down people of color
- 43:02Speaker 2: and that if you are a black person you are
- 43:04Speaker 2: going to get killed by police. Well, going over a
- 43:07Speaker 2: little statistic here, do you know how many black people
- 43:10Speaker 2: versus white people were killed by police last year? I'm waiting,
- 43:14Speaker 2: come on, somebody tell me, Okay, two hundred and fifty
- 43:17Speaker 2: black people were killed by police last year. Do you
- 43:21Speaker 2: know how many white people were killed by police last year?
- 43:24Speaker 2: Six hundred eighty. So two hundred and fifty black people
- 43:27Speaker 2: were killed by police, six hundred eighty white people were
- 43:29Speaker 2: killed by police.
- 43:30Speaker 8: Does that tell you.
- 43:31Speaker 2: That the police go out there in the morning, they
- 43:33Speaker 2: wake up, Hey, honey, yeah, I'm going out to shoot
- 43:35Speaker 2: somebody who is black, or I'm going out to shoot
- 43:38Speaker 2: somebody who is white. Maybe they don't want to shoot anybody.
- 43:41Speaker 2: Maybe they're getting up in the morning and they just
- 43:43Speaker 2: want to do their job and come home to their
- 43:45Speaker 2: families at the end of the day.
- 43:46Speaker 8: Here's the deal.
- 43:47Speaker 2: If you stab a cop, he's going to shoot you.
- 43:50Speaker 2: And if you think he's not gonna shoot you, then
- 43:52Speaker 2: somebody has not taught you correctly, all right, and a cop?
- 43:56Speaker 2: Why should anybody stand there and allow themselves to become
- 44:00Speaker 2: victimized by you. It doesn't matter what color you are,
- 44:03Speaker 2: it doesn't matter where you live or where you are socioeconomically.
- 44:06Speaker 2: You don't stab a person, and you certainly don't stab
- 44:09Speaker 2: a cop. And if you do and you get shot, well,
- 44:12Speaker 2: you know what, whose fault is that I'm sorry, but
- 44:15Speaker 2: you have to scratch your head and think, what are
- 44:17Speaker 2: we doing in society? What are we doing in schools?
- 44:20Speaker 2: How are we raising people to think that that's acceptable
- 44:24Speaker 2: and that what a cop, usually not making a whole
- 44:27Speaker 2: hell of a lot of money, should stand there and
- 44:29Speaker 2: get stabbed and not respond. What's wrong with anybody? How
- 44:34Speaker 2: crazy is society that there are now people supporting the
- 44:38Speaker 2: deceased in this case, this young man I say young
- 44:42Speaker 2: man because I'm almost sixty, This Cory Durell Ruiz, who
- 44:46Speaker 2: is thirty eight, who, by the way, has a record
- 44:50Speaker 2: of forty arrests. Hey, whatever happened to three strikes?
- 44:54Speaker 3: You're out?
- 44:55Speaker 7: You know.
- 44:55Speaker 2: But this is in liberal Medicine, Wisconsin, one of the
- 44:58Speaker 2: most liberal progressive city in America, all right, And this
- 45:01Speaker 2: is in a state where you have a guy who
- 45:04Speaker 2: you know, mister happy pants, who ran for vice president
- 45:08Speaker 2: and thankfully lost. But this is craziness. How on earth
- 45:13Speaker 2: did the Tim Walls I'm referring to for those who saying,
- 45:15Speaker 2: who's he talking about? Happy pats? How on earth do
- 45:19Speaker 2: you have a society where anyone thinks it's okay to
- 45:23Speaker 2: stab a cop and thinks a cop shouldn't respond. They
- 45:27Speaker 2: not only respond as a human being, but as a
- 45:30Speaker 2: police officer, and they need to neutralize that threat from
- 45:33Speaker 2: injuring anybody else. And the fact that anyone is rushing
- 45:37Speaker 2: to the defense of this, you know, is this is
- 45:39Speaker 2: the wrong hill to die on, folks, because you're not
- 45:42Speaker 2: going to get the sympathy of a lot of Americans.
- 45:44Speaker 2: And people are not going to tolerate another BLM summer
- 45:47Speaker 2: from like six years ago ain't gonna happen. So you
- 45:50Speaker 2: want to go ahead and protest and threaten to burn
- 45:52Speaker 2: down cities. Al Sharpton, you want to go out there
- 45:54Speaker 2: and do that, go right ahead. Methinks you're not going
- 45:57Speaker 2: to get the sympathy of a lot of Americans in
- 45:59Speaker 2: this case, especially when you have a guy with an
- 46:02Speaker 2: arrest record like he does who stabbed a cop. You're
- 46:06Speaker 2: not going to get a lot of sympathy if the
- 46:07Speaker 2: cop shot him. So you go ahead and try it.
- 46:10Speaker 2: It'll last about a day or two, but I think
- 46:12Speaker 2: it's going to end after that. What do you have
- 46:14Speaker 2: to say about it? At eight hundred and three to
- 46:15Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten. The problem is today you
- 46:19Speaker 2: have the bought and paid for left wing agitator professional
- 46:23Speaker 2: protester class paid for by groups like Soros backed groups.
- 46:28Speaker 2: And I know it sounds like we always cite the
- 46:30Speaker 2: boogeyman when we talk about George Soros, but it's true.
- 46:33Speaker 2: The man is one of several liberal groups responsible for
- 46:37Speaker 2: paying these protesters. These people come out, they're the same
- 46:41Speaker 2: people you could go online. There are a couple of
- 46:43Speaker 2: people on YouTube who make it a point showing video
- 46:47Speaker 2: from different protests around the country, all different causes they're
- 46:51Speaker 2: protesting for and against, and you will see the same
- 46:54Speaker 2: faces time and time and time again. I mean literally,
- 46:59Speaker 2: this guy, he'll show a montage of twenty different I
- 47:03Speaker 2: don't want to promote a specific YouTube channel. That's why
- 47:05Speaker 2: I'm not saying his name. He's a young man, probably
- 47:08Speaker 2: in his twenties, and he shows montages of like ten, fifteen,
- 47:14Speaker 2: twenty different protests, same couple of people in every protest,
- 47:17Speaker 2: and usually they're the leaders, the head of agitators. And
- 47:21Speaker 2: if he pulls people aside and ask have you been
- 47:23Speaker 2: paid for this? And they start to answer, then right
- 47:25Speaker 2: away the organizers pull them away and don't let them
- 47:29Speaker 2: answer the question, and try to force out the interviewer
- 47:32Speaker 2: it's a.
- 47:33Speaker 3: Joke, you know.
- 47:33Speaker 2: But the problem is mainstream media doesn't want to take
- 47:36Speaker 2: that extra step to confirming that these are legitimate protesters.
- 47:41Speaker 2: And it just is good television to show a bunch
- 47:43Speaker 2: of people, show a tight shots to make it look
- 47:46Speaker 2: like there's tens of thousands of people when it might
- 47:48Speaker 2: be fifty or one hundred protesting. I mean, hey, I
- 47:51Speaker 2: had on this show when I was filling.
- 47:53Speaker 3: In for Mark Simon.
- 47:54Speaker 2: I had one of the rent to protester people on
- 47:58Speaker 2: the show, a guy who makes his living hiring people
- 48:02Speaker 2: to go out and show up at protests. He pays
- 48:04Speaker 2: them hundreds of dollars a day. It's not a bad idea.
- 48:07Speaker 2: Actually he pays them hundreds of now he One thing
- 48:10Speaker 2: he always says is I don't hire people who don't
- 48:13Speaker 2: agree with the protest just to go protest and make
- 48:16Speaker 2: the money. They have to agree with it, and then
- 48:19Speaker 2: they want to protest and then I'll pay them. They
- 48:21Speaker 2: don't get their money until they actually complete the protests.
- 48:24Speaker 2: He shows up any videotapes. But the fact is this
- 48:28Speaker 2: is paid It is not organic, and the mass media
- 48:34Speaker 2: sadly does not do their jobs. They are negligent in
- 48:37Speaker 2: their duties when they don't show you and tell you
- 48:40Speaker 2: that the vast majority of the people protesting are not organic.
- 48:45Speaker 2: They didn't just join because they were upset. They were
- 48:48Speaker 2: paid and it was organized. All right, there you go.
- 48:52Speaker 2: It's seven to ten, wore the Voice of New York.
- 48:55Speaker 2: This is Ken Rozotto, former TV news anchor, actually still
- 48:58Speaker 2: current if you count New Jersey, and I am reporting
- 49:01Speaker 2: for duty for the Great Mark Simone will take your
- 49:03Speaker 2: calls at eight hundred three to two to one zero
- 49:06Speaker 2: seven ten. Coming up in just a little bit, we're
- 49:08Speaker 2: going to talk to Brent Johnson, the politics reporter for
- 49:12Speaker 2: Njadvanced Media. They own NJ dot com, the New York
- 49:17Speaker 2: Star Ledger, so he will be here to talk about
- 49:21Speaker 2: Governor Mikey Cheryl and her recent admission that at least
- 49:24Speaker 2: sixty six hundred illegal aliens were in fact registered to vote,
- 49:29Speaker 2: and that at least four hundred actually did vote in
- 49:32Speaker 2: local and federal elections in twenty twenty three and twenty
- 49:36Speaker 2: twenty four. But I thought the Democrats said that never happens.
- 49:39Speaker 2: Your calls are next, though, eight hundred three to two
- 49:41Speaker 2: one zero seven ten. It is eleven twenty one seven ten.
- 49:45Speaker 2: WR We're coming right back now.
- 49:47Speaker 1: More of the Mark Simone Show on seven ten woor
- 49:51Speaker 1: filling in for Mark here again is Ken Rosatto.
- 49:55Speaker 2: So nice to be with you on a beautiful Friday.
- 49:58Speaker 2: And a guy I'm sure has great weekend. I talked
- 50:00Speaker 2: to him now, Vincent in Brooklyn, Good morning, sir.
- 50:03Speaker 7: Good morning Ken. Could you hear me? Yeah, I'm gonna
- 50:07Speaker 7: probably go down to the shore, Kevin. What I wanted
- 50:09Speaker 7: to talk about is in Bologna, Italy right now these
- 50:13Speaker 7: past few nights, they're going through their same George Floyd.
- 50:18Speaker 7: Apparently what happened is this Arabian man who lived in
- 50:23Speaker 7: this housing complex was having a psychotic episode, going around
- 50:28Speaker 7: to all the people's doors in the courtyard, banging on
- 50:30Speaker 7: their doors, garagers screaming stuff, yelling just nonsense, then laying
- 50:36Speaker 7: on the floor spitting around vibn The guy was obviously
- 50:40Speaker 7: either on drugs or psychotic, so they called the police,
- 50:44Speaker 7: and one of the cops was smart. Even though in
- 50:47Speaker 7: Italy they don't require the cops to wear body cameras,
- 50:51Speaker 7: this guy bought one from the police supplies in the
- 50:54Speaker 7: United States, and this is what's vindicating them. So it
- 50:58Speaker 7: shows the police getting out of the car going over
- 51:01Speaker 7: to the guy, trying to talk to him. The guy's
- 51:03Speaker 7: going off, so then they went to put the plastic
- 51:06Speaker 7: cancuffs behind the guy just to take him to the hospital.
- 51:09Speaker 7: The guy's going crazy. It took three people to get
- 51:12Speaker 7: him down. The guy starts having a going into arrest. Immediately,
- 51:18Speaker 7: the ambulance comes with the EMS personnel and they're working
- 51:23Speaker 7: on the guy the guy try and revive him. And
- 51:26Speaker 7: even though the guy was crazy and he was on something,
- 51:29Speaker 7: the people over there are tearing up the place to
- 51:33Speaker 7: riding in. His mother, Elizabe Morocco, says, the police executed
- 51:38Speaker 7: my son. She's thrown gasoline on the fire. And meanwhile
- 51:43Speaker 7: all the citizenry who live in the housing complex who
- 51:46Speaker 7: took videos with their cell phones are saying that's not
- 51:50Speaker 7: the case at all. The guy was going crazy, breaking down,
- 51:54Speaker 7: messing off people's doors and everything.
- 51:55Speaker 2: And Vincent, I'm sorry, just in fairness because my family,
- 51:59Speaker 2: my other side, comes from Amilia Romania. Bologna is communist.
- 52:04Speaker 2: It always has been.
- 52:06Speaker 8: They are crazy.
- 52:07Speaker 2: I mean they I wouldn't set it's a beautiful city,
- 52:10Speaker 2: but they are crazy. Commedisogna and they have been for
- 52:13Speaker 2: over one hundred years.
- 52:14Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
- 52:15Speaker 8: I just wanted to set that.
- 52:16Speaker 7: My friends will live in Milan. They called that the
- 52:18Speaker 7: red zone.
- 52:19Speaker 3: Yeah, it is the zone.
- 52:21Speaker 2: One of the reasons why my mother's family fled. They
- 52:23Speaker 2: wanted to get away from the Communists.
- 52:25Speaker 7: They the TV it till this day, the Communist Party
- 52:30Speaker 7: is not no longer an official party in Italy. But
- 52:33Speaker 7: in all the pas and everything, you see the hammer
- 52:36Speaker 7: and sickle, the flags and everything, it's sick. I only
- 52:39Speaker 7: went there once. I went to the Piata majority to
- 52:43Speaker 7: go to the museums and do that, and then I
- 52:45Speaker 7: got the hell out of there.
- 52:47Speaker 2: Yeah, otherwise they they they'll they'll start talking, they'll pick
- 52:50Speaker 2: your brain. I made the mistake once of answering a question.
- 52:55Speaker 2: Somebody said, so you know politically in the US who
- 52:58Speaker 2: you support, and I stupidly talk about it, and that
- 53:00Speaker 2: was it. I got a tak.
- 53:04Speaker 7: Try to put poison in your food, yea.
- 53:06Speaker 2: Although the food is good if they don't poison, wonderful.
- 53:10Speaker 7: You go there, you look at the windows of the shops,
- 53:12Speaker 7: you see the old ladies rolling out the dough to
- 53:16Speaker 7: make the tort leini and everything. It's fantastic.
- 53:19Speaker 2: The food is great, just make sure they don't have
- 53:21Speaker 2: a knife in there. That's it, Vincent. You're awesome. Enjoy
- 53:26Speaker 2: down the shore this weekend. It's perfect weather, buddy, have
- 53:28Speaker 2: a great we have a great weekend.
- 53:30Speaker 7: You did.
- 53:31Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 53:31Speaker 2: I can't Bye bye, John and Norwalk. Good morning to.
- 53:34Speaker 11: You, Good morning, Good morning, Ken.
- 53:38Speaker 8: How are you, sir?
- 53:40Speaker 11: I am I am well. And by the way, I
- 53:43Speaker 11: think that you're doing a great job taking Mark's place
- 53:47Speaker 11: while he's enjoying himself for the weekend.
- 53:49Speaker 3: Thank you, sir. I appreciate it.
- 53:51Speaker 2: Nobody could take Mark's place. I'm just sitting in the
- 53:53Speaker 2: seat to keep it warm, but I appreciate that.
- 53:56Speaker 11: Well, you're doing a great job. Anyway, I have I
- 53:59Speaker 11: have one question, simple question, and if you have time,
- 54:02Speaker 11: I have a great knittin Yahoo story. I'm just wondering
- 54:07Speaker 11: with Mandami announcing that people should get out in the streets.
- 54:13Speaker 11: If net and Yahoo comes to New York City and
- 54:17Speaker 11: demonstrate if something happens to him, if something happens to people,
- 54:22Speaker 11: if buildings start getting burned, cars start getting overturned, that
- 54:26Speaker 11: kind of thing, wouldn't he be responsible for this? I mean,
- 54:30Speaker 11: they try to pin the insurrection on on Trump falsely
- 54:38Speaker 11: wouldn't that be about basically the same thing.
- 54:40Speaker 2: Well, you would think, but it can't be. Elected officials
- 54:43Speaker 2: are immune from that. But yeah, you would think if
- 54:46Speaker 2: the person is out there egging it on, I mean,
- 54:49Speaker 2: isn't that inciting a riot potentially? I mean he could
- 54:51Speaker 2: always say no, I was just advising people to go
- 54:54Speaker 2: out and exercise their freedom of speech. That's that would
- 54:57Speaker 2: be his defense. But yes, you and I know know
- 55:00Speaker 2: differently that it literally is pouring gas on a fire,
- 55:06Speaker 2: and he wants, I think, in the back of his
- 55:07Speaker 2: mind he wants to recreate the summer of twenty twenty
- 55:11Speaker 2: and see it all over again, and God forbid, we
- 55:14Speaker 2: don't want to see that.
- 55:15Speaker 11: Yeah, I think you're absolutely right, And I just think
- 55:18Speaker 11: he's really just a horrible person. Thank God. I don't
- 55:22Speaker 11: live in New York, but I do live in Connecticut unfortunately,
- 55:25Speaker 11: So it's you know which one is worse? Would you
- 55:29Speaker 11: like to hear my quick?
- 55:31Speaker 2: Can you do it in like thirty seconds? Because then
- 55:33Speaker 2: we had to go to commercial darn sure.
- 55:34Speaker 5: I can.
- 55:35Speaker 11: A long long time ago Netta, who was I believe
- 55:39Speaker 11: it was the Defense Minister? And Wolf Blitzer from CNN
- 55:44Speaker 11: was doing an interview with him. And at that time,
- 55:48Speaker 11: while he was doing the interview, they started getting rocket
- 55:52Speaker 11: attacks or mortar attacks, whatever it was. And net Nell,
- 55:57Speaker 11: who stood there, he wasn't really moving and Wolf have
- 56:00Speaker 11: jumped underneath the table. I mean he was really scared.
- 56:04Speaker 11: And ya who had that grin on his face, and
- 56:07Speaker 11: he said, mister Blitzer, you have to understand in Israel,
- 56:11Speaker 11: diplomacy is a contact sport. And I loved Netta who
- 56:16Speaker 11: ever since, ever since I heard him say that, I
- 56:18Speaker 11: thought it was wonderful.
- 56:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he put his money where his mouth is.
- 56:21Speaker 2: They all served in the military. They know what it's like.
- 56:24Speaker 2: Maybe there's something to that that we should all think about.
- 56:26Speaker 2: Remember when every president at some point served in the military.
- 56:30Speaker 11: That's it, That's right. I served in the Middle I
- 56:32Speaker 11: was in there for a smitic and I did you
- 56:35Speaker 11: know my year in Vietnam.
- 56:39Speaker 5: Gys.
- 56:39Speaker 2: Well, thank you for your service, sir. I appreciate it,
- 56:41Speaker 2: and we appreciate the phone call. Thank you, John and Norwalk,
- 56:45Speaker 2: Thank you.

- 56:46Speaker 2: I have a good weekend. We're gonna take we got
- 56:48Speaker 2: a few seconds here, Let's go to Edin Huntington.
- 56:50Speaker 3: Hello, ed, Hey, good morning.
- 56:53Speaker 12: Just wanted to touch on the shoeing you was just
- 56:55Speaker 12: talking about. I was a Here City police sergeant thirty
- 56:58Speaker 12: six years Wow. No one said to me, why don't
- 57:01Speaker 12: you I don't understand why you guys don't shoot at
- 57:03Speaker 12: people's legs. I said, you're right, you don't understand. I said,
- 57:06Speaker 12: the thread is a gun, a knife. But bet I'm
- 57:08Speaker 12: looking at the threat, and I'm gonna miss his legs.
- 57:11Speaker 12: The gust place to shoot is set a mask. That's
- 57:13Speaker 12: how you stop them play.
- 57:14Speaker 2: Yeah, my dad was a cup My dad was He
- 57:16Speaker 2: was Westchester County Police, so they didn't see the action
- 57:19Speaker 2: you would have seen. But yeah, he said, that's what
- 57:21Speaker 2: you shoot at the biggest target. So that if that's
- 57:24Speaker 2: their stomach, their chest, that's what you're going on. You
- 57:26Speaker 2: don't you don't hope you'll hit their left toe, because
- 57:29Speaker 2: then you're gonna miss uh.
- 57:31Speaker 12: Yeah, right, you know you can't look at his tell
- 57:33Speaker 12: you gotta look at the gun, the knife, they thron
- 57:35Speaker 12: whatever you do with you, you gotta look at the
- 57:37Speaker 12: threat to.
- 57:38Speaker 2: Your job is to stop the force. Your job is
- 57:40Speaker 2: to stop what's happening. Right then, it's not to let's
- 57:43Speaker 2: inflict the least amount of harm. If you're gonna pull
- 57:45Speaker 2: your gun and shoot. There's a reason for it, and
- 57:47Speaker 2: it's not about uh, well, let's hope he'll get scared
- 57:49Speaker 2: by it. That's not the point. It's to neutralize the
- 57:52Speaker 2: h the actor in that case. So thank you very much, Ed,
- 57:55Speaker 2: and thank you for your service as a sergeant. We

- 58:04Speaker 2: of New York A beautiful Friday, and this is Ken
- 58:07Speaker 2: Rosotto in for Mark. Coming up next, we're going to
- 58:09Speaker 2: talk with Brent Johnson, the politics reporter for NJ Advanced Media,
- 58:14Speaker 2: about New Jersey Governor Mikey Cheryl's recent admission that at
- 58:17Speaker 2: least sixty six hundred illegal aliens were registered to vote.
- 58:20Speaker 2: At least four hundred actually did.
- 58:22Speaker 1: It's the Mark Simone Show Live from the wr Life
- 58:26Speaker 1: Bax Studios, guest hosting for Mark today.
- 58:30Speaker 8: Here's Ken Rosotto and.
- 58:33Speaker 2: So nice to be with you on a beautiful Friday.
- 58:35Speaker 2: You know, Brent Johnson is the politics reporter for Njadvance Media.
- 58:39Speaker 2: That's NJ dot Com and the New York Star Ledger
- 58:42Speaker 2: and they have a Trenton newspaper, Jersey City. They're a
- 58:45Speaker 2: monster in a good way for New Jersey. And he's
- 58:49Speaker 2: here to talk about New Jersey Governor Mikey Cheryl's recent
- 58:52Speaker 2: admission that at least sixty six hundred illegal aliens or
- 58:56Speaker 2: illegal migrants were in fact registered to vote in that
- 58:59Speaker 2: at least four hundred actually voted in local and federal
- 59:02Speaker 2: elections in twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four. First off,
- 59:05Speaker 2: let's say good morning to Brent.
- 59:08Speaker 3: Good morning, thanks for having me.
- 59:10Speaker 2: So nice to have you on and all the years
- 59:11Speaker 2: that I've been, you know, a New Jersey resident and
- 59:14Speaker 2: an anchor reporter in New York City and now back
- 59:17Speaker 2: in New Jersey. I feel terrible that we've never crossed paths,
- 59:20Speaker 2: but it's nice to actually get to speak to you
- 59:21Speaker 2: on the air. Here our mutual friend. We have a
- 59:25Speaker 2: very good friend, Tom bergeron who said I got the
- 59:28Speaker 2: guy you got to talk to. I want to have Tom.
- 59:30Speaker 2: I said, no, no, no, no, no, you said I got the
- 59:32Speaker 2: right guy here. But so, Brent, first of all, why
- 59:34Speaker 2: do you think Governor Cheryl released this information?
- 59:38Speaker 13: Now, that's a great questions. That's one of the many
- 59:42Speaker 13: questions that are surrounding this whole thing. Basically, people who
- 59:46Speaker 13: I spoke to who know her say that she learned
- 59:49Speaker 13: of this and instead of keeping it silent, which might
- 59:51Speaker 13: have been more politically expedient, she wanted to. She had
- 59:54Speaker 13: military training un told you have to be transparent. Goes
- 59:57Speaker 13: along with her campaign promises of being upfront and that
- 1:00:00Speaker 13: you know, especially all that's going on in the national
- 1:00:02Speaker 13: debate over election integrity, that it was the right thing
- 1:00:05Speaker 13: to do to come forward.
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: That's what people around her say.
- 1:00:08Speaker 13: But yeah, there are even some who go that she
- 1:00:11Speaker 13: even if this didn't happen under her attenure, now she
- 1:00:13Speaker 13: owns this issue and that's going forward.
- 1:00:16Speaker 3: That's going to be interesting to see how she walks
- 1:00:18Speaker 3: this tightrope.
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, yes, it makes sense. It's to get
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: ahead maybe of the US government and then the Save
- 1:00:24Speaker 2: America Act. But now doesn't that kind of give the
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: Republicans and the Save America Act exactly what they were
- 1:00:30Speaker 2: looking for? Now they could say, hey, look, don't take
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: our word for it. Governor CHERYLN. New Jersey said sixty
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: six hundred people were registered. So for all the people
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: who say no, illegal migrants don't get the register, well
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: they did.
- 1:00:43Speaker 13: Yeah, And Democrats are privately lamenting this even publicly, that
- 1:00:48Speaker 13: this gives fuel to the Republican arguments and that for
- 1:00:51Speaker 13: years the discussion has been that, you know, statistics show
- 1:00:54Speaker 13: voter fraud is very widespread, voter fraud is very rare,
- 1:00:58Speaker 13: and that this, you know, gives a little bit of
- 1:01:00Speaker 13: credence to their argument. Whether now you also hear Democrats
- 1:01:04Speaker 13: say they're exploiting this, that this is a small set
- 1:01:07Speaker 13: of numbers that she released, but yeah, this definitely intensifies
- 1:01:11Speaker 13: the debate, and it makes it harder for Democrats to
- 1:01:13Speaker 13: push back.
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: And just everybody might make sure everybody knows because this
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: is radio I always forget for my TV days, Brent,
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: where people could see whom I'm talking to. I want
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: to remind everyone. This is Brent Johnson, the politics reporter
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: for NJ Advanced Media, and we're talking about New Jersey
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: Governor Mikey Cheryl's recent admission that at least sixty six
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: hundred illegal migrants were in fact registered to vote. And
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: by the way, I'm can rozottowin for the great Mark
- 1:01:37Speaker 2: Simon on this wonderful Friday. So the other question is,
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: and this is something I'm sure is being looked into,
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: the individuals who registered to vote. Were they the actual
- 1:01:48Speaker 2: people who voted, or did somebody with more nefarious intentions
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: have them register and took those names and cast the
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: ballots themselves. That's something we don't really know yet, do
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: we no.
- 1:02:01Speaker 13: And there's a lot of open ended questions here about
- 1:02:03Speaker 13: things we don't know, And the state is conducting an
- 1:02:05Speaker 13: internal investigation and Republicans are calling for an independent probe,
- 1:02:10Speaker 13: and the US just Apartment is also conducting an investigation.
- 1:02:13Speaker 13: So there's a lot of people looking into this, and
- 1:02:14Speaker 13: there's many things we probably will learn a slow drip
- 1:02:17Speaker 13: of news as this comes out, But yeah, I mean, basically,
- 1:02:19Speaker 13: what they said was that six hundred people non citizens
- 1:02:23Speaker 13: were registered and four hundred of those went on to
- 1:02:26Speaker 13: cast ballots. Cheryl said that it's Democrats, Republicans and onn
- 1:02:29Speaker 13: affiliated voters and it stretches all across New Jersey, but
- 1:02:33Speaker 13: that four hundred took this case, but we don't know
- 1:02:35Speaker 13: who this four hundred are. They have not released those identities.
- 1:02:37Speaker 13: Cheryl said she's not going to give the Department of
- 1:02:39Speaker 13: Justice those identities either, because the thought is now that
- 1:02:43Speaker 13: someone might get prosecuted, and Cheryl said that would be
- 1:02:45Speaker 13: hypocrisy if they did so, but the Trump administration saying,
- 1:02:48Speaker 13: you know, they broke the law and we have to
- 1:02:50Speaker 13: go after them. So yeah, we're gonna keep learning more
- 1:02:53Speaker 13: about this. This is one of those things where there's
- 1:02:55Speaker 13: we know a little, but there's probably more we don't know,
- 1:02:58Speaker 13: and we'll find out when it a happen.
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: And you know, there are over thirty states and or
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: there are thirty states and the District of Columbia not
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: willing to share their voter roles with the Department of Justice,
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: and included among those thirty states Republican states too, So
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: it's not strictly a Democrat state thing in terms of
- 1:03:17Speaker 2: refusing to submit that information.
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: What do you think that is?
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: What is what is there to lose for a state
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: to share their voter roles with the federal government.
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: That's a good that's a good question.
- 1:03:27Speaker 13: This is this is a touchy topic and always has been,
- 1:03:30Speaker 13: you know, election integrity. You know, you have all the
- 1:03:32Speaker 13: questions about voter id and it's you know, it's one
- 1:03:36Speaker 13: thing where it's a it's considered a right in the
- 1:03:38Speaker 13: Constitution that people have a right to vote, and you
- 1:03:40Speaker 13: want to make sure as many people can partician as
- 1:03:43Speaker 13: possible and you don't want to suppress any of those votes.
- 1:03:45Speaker 3: So I believe there are probably.
- 1:03:47Speaker 13: Some states who believe that the integrity elections mean they
- 1:03:50Speaker 13: should hold on the roles. This is a state's rights issue,
- 1:03:53Speaker 13: so it's not a cut and dry thing. It's you know,
- 1:03:56Speaker 13: it's one of those things where there are strong opinions
- 1:03:59Speaker 13: on either side, and it seems to be that's the
- 1:04:01Speaker 13: case in politics a lot these days, is that there
- 1:04:04Speaker 13: is no middle ground. The people stand to the stands
- 1:04:07Speaker 13: to their own side, and this is one of those
- 1:04:09Speaker 13: topics that's just a heavy debate.
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: Seven to ten wore the Voice of New York and
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: Rosatto in for the Great Mark Simone on a Friday,
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: and there are numbers that range from one hundred to
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty thousand possible illegal migrants throughout the
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: country who may be improperly registered to vote, and is
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: high in one case in this I think is a
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: little extreme on the high end, but of up to
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: four million, and that was from one organization that is
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: admittedly more right wing, and they've set as many as
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: four million, basing it on the numbers of states where
- 1:04:44Speaker 2: illegal migrants tend to settle and those states almost entirely
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: are states where it doesn't matter what your your legal
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: status is, you can get a driver's license, and those
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: states automatically allow you to register to vote when you
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: get your driver's license. So now, of course, big argument
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: is do we now make it illegal or at least
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: change the rules so that you're not automatically or you
- 1:05:08Speaker 2: don't have the automatic opportunity to register to vote when
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: you get your driver's license.
- 1:05:13Speaker 13: Yeah, well, this goes back, This issue goes back that
- 1:05:16Speaker 13: six or seven years. This is under former Governor Phil Murphy.
- 1:05:20Speaker 13: He signed two laws around the same time that Republicans
- 1:05:23Speaker 13: warned about. One allows undocumented immigrants to get driver's license,
- 1:05:28Speaker 13: which supporters say is for the safety of everyone's driving,
- 1:05:31Speaker 13: to make sure that everyone's license on the road. And
- 1:05:34Speaker 13: to the law that automatically registers people to vote once
- 1:05:38Speaker 13: they apply for a driver's license, which is supporters say,
- 1:05:42Speaker 13: you know, opens up democracy and makes it easier to
- 1:05:44Speaker 13: register and takes one of those hurdles away. But Republicans
- 1:05:47Speaker 13: said that this is a going to be open season
- 1:05:51Speaker 13: for the possibility of fraud here, and they said they've
- 1:05:54Speaker 13: been vindicated now that basically their fears have been confirmed.
- 1:05:58Speaker 13: So they say they want to automatically or immediately suspend
- 1:06:02Speaker 13: automatic voter registration install voter ID laws. And the problem
- 1:06:06Speaker 13: is that Republican are their lowest number they've ever been
- 1:06:09Speaker 13: in Trenton and that Democrats are in control. Democrats had
- 1:06:12Speaker 13: basically said, the ones who control the legislature that they're
- 1:06:14Speaker 13: waiting for any investigation to play out before they take
- 1:06:17Speaker 13: out their steps. So right now it's just a lot
- 1:06:19Speaker 13: of talk. But you know again, this is this lends
- 1:06:24Speaker 13: fuel to the argument you're gonna hear Republicans continue to
- 1:06:26Speaker 13: use this as a cudgel.
- 1:06:27Speaker 4: Man.
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: I'm sure this is not going away anytime soon, but
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: we could talk about it on and on. He's the
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: politics reporter for NJ Advance Media, Brent Johnson. I appreciate
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: you coming on the Marx Simone Show this morning. Thanks
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: so much, my pleasure.

- 1:07:10Speaker 2: the air of seven to ten wo R Good morning.
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: Oh hi Mar, this is I'll pretend to be Mark.
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: This is Ken Rosotto though in for Mark, but good
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: to good to talk to you.
- 1:07:21Speaker 8: What's your name, sir, Well, my name is Kenny.
- 1:07:25Speaker 11: You're Ken.
- 1:07:25Speaker 4: That's why I said that.
- 1:07:26Speaker 10: But you're great. You're a great villain, You're a great
- 1:07:28Speaker 10: personal They love it. But listen, I know you're not
- 1:07:31Speaker 10: going to agree with me, but folks, legal immigration has
- 1:07:34Speaker 10: got to come to an end. Millions of Third worlds
- 1:07:36Speaker 10: have come in and turn this country upside down. They
- 1:07:39Speaker 10: rearrange the furniture, legally coming in every single day. And
- 1:07:43Speaker 10: also listen, let's face the facts about this invasion. It's
- 1:07:46Speaker 10: not going to stop unless the people demand that it
- 1:07:49Speaker 10: comes to an end.
- 1:07:51Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: So now the question really becomes why why do some
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: people agree with it? And why not? So legal immigration
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: you can't you can't not have legal immigration. We always
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: have had some legal immigration right in the city or
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: in the country.
- 1:08:05Speaker 8: I should say.
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: There was a number of years from the thirties to
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: the sixties or twenties to the sixties where we were
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: only allowing fifty thousand people a year to come in
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: from Europe, and the purpose of that was to limit
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: them migration, so the immigration so that it wasn't an
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: all europe West country, and so we started allowing people
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: from South America in as opposed to Europe. So what
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: a lot of Europeans were doing was they were migrating
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: from European countries to South American countries in order to
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: eventually come to the United States. Had a lot of
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: relatives myself, and they came that way. And that's why
- 1:08:41Speaker 2: if you go to Argentina, there's so many Italians there,
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: and Uruguay and Paraguay. You have Germans there and Spaniards,
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: and many of them went there not to settle there,
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: but with the intention of eventually coming to the US
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: and found out those were very nice countries and they
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: stayed there. But if you go down to Argentina today
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: and you'll see every restaurants, every other restaurant is an
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: Italian restaurant. Everyone's name is like Panuzzi and Vallacci and whatnot.
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: Yet they're speaking Spanish, but they all have Italian names.
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: Between fifty and seventy percent. I believe with Argentinians draw
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: some bloodline to Italy. So hey, listen, we still have
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: about thirty seconds if you want to give a quick
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: call eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Otherwise,
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: it has been an absolute joy. Mark will be back
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: in the seat on Monday, and I want to say
