Hour 1: New federal holidays! · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Now the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten. Woor
0:05
Speaker 1: filling in for Mark. Here's Ken Rosatta.
0:08
Speaker 2: And a very good morning to you. The end of
0:10
Speaker 2: the week is here. Yes, please excuse the frog in
0:12
Speaker 2: my throat. I was on a plane the other day
0:14
Speaker 2: and of course everybody around me was hacking up along
0:17
Speaker 2: and I said, I'm going to get something. I know
0:20
Speaker 2: it so with me, it settles in my vocal cords.
0:23
Speaker 2: It always has And don't worry about it doesn't hurt,
0:26
Speaker 2: feels fine. It just sounds kind of weird, so I
0:28
Speaker 2: don't think. Who is this. It's Brenda Avicaro coming to
0:31
Speaker 2: you live anyway, It's good to be here. Six days
0:34
Speaker 2: till Christmas. You could feel the spirit in the air.
0:37
Speaker 2: Three more days of Hankku. Mark is off today. Hope
0:40
Speaker 2: you enjoy your time off. Brother. Ken Rosatto in and
0:42
Speaker 2: we have a lot to talk about. First off, did
0:45
Speaker 2: you guys hear about what is going on in Los Angeles?
0:49
Speaker 2: It is unbelievable now with the fires that they had
0:52
Speaker 2: there earlier in the year. Apparently firefighters wanted to go
0:57
Speaker 2: in to investigate this one setection of the mountain where
1:01
Speaker 2: there was smoke, but because of environmentalist wackos who control
1:07
Speaker 2: that part of California. The California State Parks had restricted
1:12
Speaker 2: firefighting operations in an area that is designated an avoidance area.
1:18
Speaker 2: See because in the mind of a liberal environmentalist, In
1:22
Speaker 2: an environmentalist brain, you don't matter. Humans come ninety seventh
1:27
Speaker 2: on the list of importance. It's about the uga uga
1:30
Speaker 2: fish and the maluluca tree and nature and earth, and
1:35
Speaker 2: you are scum. You shouldn't even be here. How dare
1:39
Speaker 2: you be part of the world? You human? So this
1:42
Speaker 2: is the liberal environmentalist mind at work. And so as
1:46
Speaker 2: a result the fire, where the firefighters wanted to go
1:49
Speaker 2: in and investigate the smoke, it was allowed to fester,
1:53
Speaker 2: and that is likely what led to a much larger
1:56
Speaker 2: fire that resulted in deaths and billions of dollars of
2:00
Speaker 2: property damage, destroying a good chunk of that beautiful part
2:04
Speaker 2: of southern California. Once again, liberals destroying a beautiful thing
2:09
Speaker 2: because they are just nuts. For them, environmentalism is not
2:14
Speaker 2: a cause. It is a religion. Many of the arch
2:16
Speaker 2: liberals don't have religion in their minds, in their hearts,
2:20
Speaker 2: so they have substituted things like environmentalism for their faith.
2:25
Speaker 2: As a result if you try to tell them that
2:27
Speaker 2: they're crazy that climate changes and naturally cause thing. It's
2:31
Speaker 2: like if you're Christian, them telling you, you know, Jesus
2:33
Speaker 2: is just a myth. I mean it hits you to
2:35
Speaker 2: the heart, to the heart, right to the core, or
2:38
Speaker 2: saying to somebody who's Jewish, yeah, the whole thing was
2:41
Speaker 2: made up six thousand years ago. I mean it's offensive,
2:45
Speaker 2: it's somebody sensitive to the core. It is something you feel.
2:48
Speaker 2: And for an environmentalist, this is what environmentalism is to them.
2:54
Speaker 2: It is a religion. So they don't care. They don't
2:56
Speaker 2: care if thousands of humans are put at risk, if
3:00
Speaker 2: thousands of homes are destroyed, because this is an avoidance area.
3:04
Speaker 2: Don't you understand we have to protect our wildlife here.
3:08
Speaker 2: And the result was bigions and damage. But this is
3:11
Speaker 2: what happens when you let liberals take charge. Seven to
3:14
Speaker 2: ten WR, The Voice of New York hen Rostto went
3:17
Speaker 2: from Mark on your Friday, what confusion in the Brown
3:21
Speaker 2: University case? Sorry, let's go over try to summarize it,
3:25
Speaker 2: because I kind of went over my notes today and
3:27
Speaker 2: I thought, what the heck does this all mean? So
3:31
Speaker 2: this is what I got The suspect in the Brown
3:34
Speaker 2: University mass shooting now appears to have killed himself. Pardon me.
3:37
Speaker 2: His name is Claudio Valente. He's a forty eight year
3:40
Speaker 2: old former Brown student. He was there one year in
3:44
Speaker 2: the early two thousands. He is a Portuguese national, but
3:48
Speaker 2: he came here legally. He was found dead from self
3:51
Speaker 2: inflicted wounds gunshot to that and others. He shot himself
3:55
Speaker 2: at a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire, and next
3:58
Speaker 2: to him was a satchel, two firearms and evidence matching
4:01
Speaker 2: the crime scene. Now, investigators say they have no idea
4:04
Speaker 2: why the suspect targeted the university, But officials say Valente
4:08
Speaker 2: killed two students and injured nine others, and also traveled
4:12
Speaker 2: fifty miles away to Brookline, Massachusetts and killed a an
4:18
Speaker 2: mit professor whom he knew. And he may have even
4:22
Speaker 2: studied with this guy in Portugal and may have been
4:25
Speaker 2: a roommate of this guy either in Portugal or at
4:28
Speaker 2: Brown University. So they're still trying to put together the details.
4:32
Speaker 2: But nonetheless something to point out that Nevis was admitted
4:36
Speaker 2: into the US legally but under the very liberal diversity
4:41
Speaker 2: dv ie visa program that appears to be totally out
4:44
Speaker 2: of control. Basically, if you apply with this program, you're in.
4:47
Speaker 2: It's also called the Green Card Lottery. It was meant
4:50
Speaker 2: to quote diversify the US because we're clearly not a
4:54
Speaker 2: divers nation right now. In case you haven't checked, fifty
4:57
Speaker 2: five thousand people take part in this lottery every year.
5:00
Speaker 2: But the Homeland Security Secretary says she is now recommending
5:03
Speaker 2: to the President that the program be paused. And you
5:06
Speaker 2: can understand why. It's because these people aren't getting vetted.
5:10
Speaker 2: It's like, well, if we can't go in this door,
5:12
Speaker 2: let's go in that door, and these stupid Americans will
5:14
Speaker 2: light us in. And that seems to be what happened.
5:17
Speaker 2: And he got in under the wire, nobody vetting to
5:19
Speaker 2: see if there was anything psychologically wrong with him. We
5:22
Speaker 2: know nothing about this guy, nothing except you wanted to
5:25
Speaker 2: study here, Okay, come on in and study. And this
5:27
Speaker 2: is what happens. So now two Americans are dead. Seven
5:32
Speaker 2: ten wr the Voice of New York. Hey show me
5:35
Speaker 2: your friends, I will show you your future Zoron. Mundani's
5:39
Speaker 2: not even in office yet and one of his appointees
5:41
Speaker 2: has already had to resign in disgrace due to what
5:45
Speaker 2: many are calling a history of social media jew hating.
5:49
Speaker 2: Now the New York Post is reporting that in twenty eleven,
5:52
Speaker 2: when she was eighteen, the paper reports that Catherine Almonte
5:56
Speaker 2: da Costa posted several offensive anti Jewish posts that I
6:00
Speaker 2: will not dignify by repeating here. And here's the irony.
6:04
Speaker 2: This woman, Catherine, would end up marrying a Jewish man,
6:08
Speaker 2: a man born to a Jewish mother, so he is
6:09
Speaker 2: Jewish by definition and Judaism maternally Jewish, and they have
6:14
Speaker 2: children together, and I believe I read that the children
6:17
Speaker 2: are being raised Jews. So yes, the posts were made
6:20
Speaker 2: fourteen years ago. But did her feelings really change? I mean,
6:24
Speaker 2: maybe she's in love with the guy but still holds
6:26
Speaker 2: hy stereotypes in her heart. And were there any posts
6:30
Speaker 2: after that period that we haven't seen yet? You never know,
6:33
Speaker 2: you know what happens. They post some posts now and
6:36
Speaker 2: then eventually other posts come out. Well, either way, it
6:38
Speaker 2: doesn't look good when it comes to Mamdani's judgment and
6:41
Speaker 2: the millions of Jewish New Yorkers, both those who voted
6:44
Speaker 2: for Mamdani, which I will never understand, and those who
6:48
Speaker 2: did not will be looking at every move Mamdani makes
6:52
Speaker 2: with suspicion, and rightfully so seven to ten. W. R.
6:56
Speaker 2: Ken Rosatto in for Mark, excuse the laryngitis eight hundred
6:59
Speaker 2: and three two one zero seven ten, eight hundred and
7:02
Speaker 2: three to two to one zero seven ten. You know,
7:05
Speaker 2: for all the people who hate Christmas and people who
7:06
Speaker 2: observe it, they sure don't seem to complain about the
7:11
Speaker 2: day being a federal holiday and getting the day off
7:14
Speaker 2: from work. Of course, they're like, ah, these Christians, whatever
7:17
Speaker 2: they want to do Christmas, as long as I get
7:18
Speaker 2: the day off. Well, if you have not heard, President
7:21
Speaker 2: Trump has now signed an executive order creating two additional
7:26
Speaker 2: federal holidays. Now those holidays will flank Christmas on either day,
7:30
Speaker 2: ostensibly to give families more time together for the holidays.
7:34
Speaker 2: So effective immediately, Christmas Eve is a federal holiday, Christmas
7:39
Speaker 2: Day is a federal holiday, and the day after the
7:41
Speaker 2: twenty sixth all designated federal holidays. Now, in fairness, Congress
7:47
Speaker 2: had designated the twenty fifth a federal holiday like almost
7:51
Speaker 2: two centuries ago. It was only by executive fiat that
7:55
Speaker 2: Christmas Eve and the day after have been designated that way.
7:57
Speaker 2: But I'm sure in the next year or song will
8:00
Speaker 2: be asked to codify it into law so that future
8:03
Speaker 2: presidents can't negate it. But why not? You know what, Look,
8:07
Speaker 2: even if you're not Christian, you don't believe in Christianity,
8:10
Speaker 2: you don't believe in christ, you don't believe in Christmas.
8:13
Speaker 2: We all need a period like that, three days that
8:17
Speaker 2: are set aside where we could just just decompress and
8:21
Speaker 2: spend time with loved ones, because you need to do
8:24
Speaker 2: a reset. How often do we have And I recently
8:28
Speaker 2: had a death in the family, My father in law
8:30
Speaker 2: passed away rather unexpectedly. And it's times like that that
8:34
Speaker 2: you realize the last time we had a picture together
8:38
Speaker 2: was you know, fourth is July. So you take for
8:41
Speaker 2: granted the times you spend together, they're too few and
8:45
Speaker 2: far between. So take advantage of having three days off
8:49
Speaker 2: to force yourself to reset and spend time with people
8:52
Speaker 2: whom you love or even if you argue with and
8:55
Speaker 2: you tolerate, you know what, there's always something good you
8:57
Speaker 2: could find in that person, and you never know you
9:00
Speaker 2: might learn something from them. I have, I've been, I've
9:03
Speaker 2: approached many situations in the past as and know it
9:05
Speaker 2: all thinking, Ah, this person doesn't know what they're talking about.
9:08
Speaker 2: And it turns out I have learned a lot from
9:10
Speaker 2: those people, and not bad stuff, good stuff. So give
9:13
Speaker 2: yourselves time, spend time with your loved ones, even you're
9:17
Speaker 2: not so loved ones, and try to learn and enjoy
9:20
Speaker 2: the extra days off. Courtesy Orange Man Bad if you're
9:24
Speaker 2: a liberal. A strange new information regarding Nick Reiner, the
9:28
Speaker 2: son of Rob and Michelle Singer. Reiner reportedly approached a
9:31
Speaker 2: number of A list celebs at the Conan O'Brien Christmas
9:35
Speaker 2: party hours before he allegedly murdered his parents and allegedly
9:38
Speaker 2: asked them all three questions. So Nick allegedly went up
9:41
Speaker 2: to the celebs at the Christmas party and asked, what's
9:44
Speaker 2: your name, what's your last name? And are you famous?
9:50
Speaker 2: Kind of weird, right, We don't know why he did that,
9:52
Speaker 2: but he did this. This according to several sources at
9:55
Speaker 2: the party, and authorities say the younger Reiner has a
9:58
Speaker 2: history of drug addiction and mental challenges. So this will
10:02
Speaker 2: all be part of the investigation. I'm sure it's ten
10:04
Speaker 2: fifteen right now. Seven ten wore the voice of New
10:08
Speaker 2: York Ken Risotto went from mark a all a nasty weather,
10:12
Speaker 2: the wind, the rain. With the milder quote unquote temperatures,
10:16
Speaker 2: we could even see some thunder. It's going to be
10:19
Speaker 2: really windy all day, even as the temperatures get cooler
10:21
Speaker 2: tonight but partly cloudy later in the day. The rain
10:24
Speaker 2: should end. Highes in the mid fifties through the day. Oh,
10:28
Speaker 2: the artistic liberals in DC are beside themselves. It is
10:32
Speaker 2: pearl clutching time, my friends. They're going to love this.
10:36
Speaker 2: The Kennedy Center, if you haven't caught this, has been
10:39
Speaker 2: renamed the Trump Kennedy Center. Yes, President Trump's name comes first.
10:45
Speaker 2: This was voted on by the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees.
10:48
Speaker 2: I mean, I know liberals who refuse to call Reagan
10:51
Speaker 2: national Reagan national. They call it National Airport. Still, now,
10:55
Speaker 2: why was this done?
10:57
Speaker 3: Well?
10:57
Speaker 2: Number one, President Trump is the chairman of the boar,
11:00
Speaker 2: so that doesn't hurt. But they did it because the
11:03
Speaker 2: Kennedy Center, in typical liberal fashion, they all love to
11:05
Speaker 2: claim something for their own, but they don't love to
11:07
Speaker 2: dig deep in their pockets. They want you to pay.
11:10
Speaker 2: So the Kennedy Center was turning into disrepair, being run
11:13
Speaker 2: into the ground and the very liberals who claimed to
11:16
Speaker 2: love the arts so much weren't getting any donations to
11:19
Speaker 2: support the place, so it was literally falling apart. Answer
11:23
Speaker 2: President Trump, he became the chairman of the Kennedy Center Board,
11:27
Speaker 2: and he managed to immediately raise a record twenty three
11:30
Speaker 2: million dollars in private donations for the first year alone.
11:34
Speaker 2: Then he got Congress to write in two hundred and
11:37
Speaker 2: fifty million dollars for massive building renovations. Remember what Trump
11:42
Speaker 2: does best. Mark talks about this all the time. Trump
11:44
Speaker 2: is one of the best builders in the world. If
11:47
Speaker 2: anybody knows how to take a look at a building
11:50
Speaker 2: and tell immediately what needs to be done and do
11:52
Speaker 2: it for the best price, it's Donald Trump. Pardon me.
11:55
Speaker 2: So he took a look at the building and said, ah,
11:58
Speaker 2: this needs redoing. That needs redoing. The Kennedy Center, excuse me.
12:03
Speaker 2: The Trump Kennedy Center will be gorgeous when all is
12:06
Speaker 2: said and done. And this really irks the liberals because
12:09
Speaker 2: this is one of their temples. This is like an
12:11
Speaker 2: epicenter of arts and humanities, and an evil Orange man
12:16
Speaker 2: will touch our temple. Oh Heaven forbid. So thanks to
12:20
Speaker 2: Donald Trump, the Trump Kennedy Center will once again be
12:23
Speaker 2: a world class facility operating financially in the black. And
12:29
Speaker 2: that's why the board rightfully added his name. Of course,
12:33
Speaker 2: liberal members of the Kennedy family are screaming now this
12:37
Speaker 2: name change was done illegally. Kennedy would be rolling over.
12:40
Speaker 2: President Kennedy would be rolling over in his grave.
12:43
Speaker 4: You can't do this.
12:44
Speaker 2: Congress named it the Kennedy Center in honor for a
12:46
Speaker 2: fallen president. Well, under the way that the charter was written,
12:52
Speaker 2: the board does have the right to everything. It says
12:54
Speaker 2: nowhere that the charter in the charter rather that the
12:57
Speaker 2: board does not have the right to change the name.
13:00
Speaker 2: So if you don't like it, change the charter and
13:02
Speaker 2: the board now runs the charter. So sorry, it is
13:06
Speaker 2: what it is. The place would have probably been forced
13:09
Speaker 2: to shut down if not for the president's actions. Seven
13:13
Speaker 2: ten wowar the voice of New York. Hey, all you
13:16
Speaker 2: Swifties and you know who you are. Have you heard
13:18
Speaker 2: what iconic star Taylor Swift did for the people who
13:22
Speaker 2: work for her. Swift's Eras music tour generated two billion
13:27
Speaker 2: dollars in revenue. Can you imagine? And Swift decided, in
13:31
Speaker 2: the spirit of the holidays to share nearly ten percent
13:35
Speaker 2: of that money with her two hundred or so staff members. Yeah,
13:38
Speaker 2: that's right. So they will share one hundred and ninety
13:42
Speaker 2: seven million dollars in bonuses. We're not talking of fifty dollars,
13:46
Speaker 2: you know, gift card folks. Dancers who work for Taylor
13:51
Speaker 2: Swift to dance around her on stage, they will get
13:54
Speaker 2: a bonus of seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars this
14:00
Speaker 2: year alone. These people whose salaries are about one hundred
14:03
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand, so the bonus is five times their salary.
14:07
Speaker 2: That's insane, but good for her. Even truck drivers guys
14:11
Speaker 2: who and women I guess too, who drive all of
14:14
Speaker 2: the stages and whatnot from a concert venue to concert venue.
14:18
Speaker 2: They usually make about one hundred thousand a year. Well,
14:21
Speaker 2: they get double their salary. They're going to get one
14:23
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars bonus. Can you imagine? This is what
14:26
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift did. So they will have double their annual salaries.
14:30
Speaker 2: In that case, that is a happy holiday ten nineteen
14:33
Speaker 2: right now, seven to ten wor the Voice of New York.
14:36
Speaker 1: Hey.
14:37
Speaker 2: Notice how the left wing legacy media reported on President
14:39
Speaker 2: Trump's address to the Nation on Wednesday night. As usual,
14:43
Speaker 2: they fact checked every word and whenever a statement could
14:48
Speaker 2: have gone either way based on opinion, they judged what
14:51
Speaker 2: President Trump said to be a lie. Well, one thing
14:54
Speaker 2: President Trump said was that inflation was down, and what
14:58
Speaker 2: he meant was the race of increase is down. But
15:01
Speaker 2: either way it's down. Mainstream media immediately shot this down.
15:06
Speaker 4: Is false lies, He's a liar.
15:09
Speaker 2: Then something happened. Facts were presented. As of yesterday, the
15:13
Speaker 2: official government numbers show inflation has dropped to a four
15:17
Speaker 2: year low for the month of November, from three percent
15:20
Speaker 2: to two point seven percent. So, yes, Donald Trump was correct.
15:24
Speaker 2: Inflation is down, Prices are dropping, albeit slowly. Yes, things
15:29
Speaker 2: are still too expensive, but things are coming down. The
15:32
Speaker 2: so called experts immediately threw water on the numbers, calling
15:35
Speaker 2: November not a usual month because we had the government
15:38
Speaker 2: shut down. But the numbers are what the numbers are.
15:41
Speaker 2: And you know that if Biden were still president, they
15:43
Speaker 2: wouldn't throw water on his numbers. But of course, when
15:46
Speaker 2: it's orange man bad, you have to throw water on them.
15:50
Speaker 2: And if you like President Trump, how about another term.
15:52
Speaker 2: Forum Constitutional law expert and former Harvard law professor Allan Deershowitz,
15:57
Speaker 2: a lifelong Democrat, told President Trump it might be legal
16:01
Speaker 2: for him to run for a third term. You heard
16:04
Speaker 2: this right. This has got to make the left absolutely
16:07
Speaker 2: going crazily apoplectic with conspiracies right now. Dershowitz says the
16:13
Speaker 2: twenty second Amendment says there are loopholes, apparently because it
16:17
Speaker 2: specifically states no person shall be elected to the office
16:23
Speaker 2: of president more than twice. But constitutionally, the electoral College
16:27
Speaker 2: does not elect a president. They choose a president we elect.
16:30
Speaker 2: So if they were to fail to produce a winner
16:33
Speaker 2: through the electoral College, the House of Representatives would then
16:37
Speaker 2: select a president, not elect a president. So technically, if
16:41
Speaker 2: we have a Republican majority in the House, the House
16:44
Speaker 2: could select Donald Trump and he could be president. That
16:48
Speaker 2: was one of several ways presented, but I don't think
16:50
Speaker 2: it's going anywhere. It was just enough to sell books
16:53
Speaker 2: for Alan Dushowitz and enough to make the liberals crazy.
16:57
Speaker 2: Seven to ten wor the Voice of New York. We'd
16:59
Speaker 2: love to hear from you, So give us a call
17:01
Speaker 2: right now. Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten.
17:04
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten, Please forgive
17:08
Speaker 2: my laryngitis. Ken Rosatto live for Mark on this Friday.

Speaker 2: One eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten.
17:28
Speaker 2: One eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten.
17:31
Speaker 2: And a quick shout out and congratulations to a friend
17:35
Speaker 2: of mine whose mother, Johanna, just became a US citizen
17:39
Speaker 2: within the last hour. She went down to the federal
17:42
Speaker 2: court there in Newark, New Jersey, and she waited ten
17:45
Speaker 2: years and did it legally, did it the right way,
17:47
Speaker 2: never did it illegally, and she is our one of
17:50
Speaker 2: our newest US citizens. Congratulations. Yes, folks, all those who
17:54
Speaker 2: say Ken have a heart. They're all the same, whether
17:57
Speaker 2: they're here legally or not. No, this is why it's
18:00
Speaker 2: so offensive to people who do it the legal way
18:02
Speaker 2: and they wait ten years. It's like cutting the line
18:04
Speaker 2: and giving them the finger. Don't do that. You can
18:07
Speaker 2: be a productive US citizen doing it legally. Seven ten
18:10
Speaker 2: w R. Let's go to our busy phones, Doctor John
18:13
Speaker 2: and Newark. Good morning, Happy holidays.
18:17
Speaker 5: Hello, do you hear me?
18:18
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I do great?
18:20
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, look, God, I have a sort of a
18:22
Speaker 5: message for everybody. In my opinion. I'm a professor at
18:27
Speaker 5: their Rutgers Medical School, and both the Democrats and Republicans
18:33
Speaker 5: have made efforts, but they both agree on one thing.
18:38
Speaker 5: We need to solve the problem of American medicine costing
18:43
Speaker 5: US nineteen percent of our GDP. We die younger than
18:47
Speaker 5: thirty six other countries. There are countries that pay the
18:51
Speaker 5: governments pay less than two percent of GDP, and they
18:54
Speaker 5: live six years longer than us, and they're rated thirty
18:57
Speaker 5: one flats higher than we are by the World's Healthhold Organization.
19:01
Speaker 5: Now I know how this is done, because I've worked
19:04
Speaker 5: in the number one rated country in the world, and
19:07
Speaker 5: I've lectured in several of these countries that are in
19:10
Speaker 5: the top seven. I know how it is done. I
19:14
Speaker 5: know how it can be done, but nobody gives it
19:17
Speaker 5: damn in the United States. I've sent letters on multiple
19:22
Speaker 5: occasion to Monck, Trump and Kennedy. Nobody got back to me.
19:27
Speaker 5: Then I started sending it to the Democrats. They don't
19:29
Speaker 5: care either. Now, why don't they care because so many
19:33
Speaker 5: billionaires are invested in the American insurance. No American insurance.
19:39
Speaker 2: I don't have any art. I'm waiting for an argument.
19:41
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, Doc is right, you're at present. Every
19:43
Speaker 2: doctor I've spoken too says the exact same thing too.
19:46
Speaker 2: There is so much money in this to be made
19:49
Speaker 2: by so many people that you just don't have. And
19:52
Speaker 2: I heard the Windshow wife persian poor doc Ill. Let
19:54
Speaker 2: him focus on driving. Doctor, I don't disagree with you
19:57
Speaker 2: at all. In fact, get your number. We'll get the number.
19:59
Speaker 2: Here is he at the station. Here, We'll get your number.
20:02
Speaker 2: We're gonna get you in touch with a congress member
20:04
Speaker 2: because I'm sure if President Trump got the word directly,
20:08
Speaker 2: more would be done. This is something that could affect
20:11
Speaker 2: the Republicans for the midterms, so they will want to
20:14
Speaker 2: get involved in this. But doctor John is not wrong
20:17
Speaker 2: on so many levels. Why though, is our life expectancy down?
20:21
Speaker 2: We'll don't forget versus a country like Sweden or even
20:24
Speaker 2: Italy or Spain or Ireland. America is so multicultural, and
20:28
Speaker 2: we have such a huge number of people who come
20:31
Speaker 2: here impoverished third world countries. And I'm not singling anyone out.
20:35
Speaker 2: But the reality is we are a much more diverse country.
20:39
Speaker 2: And so when you get somebody who comes from a
20:41
Speaker 2: country that may not have all their shots, may not
20:43
Speaker 2: have all the same nutrition, once they get here, sure
20:46
Speaker 2: we're going to have a lower survival rate, We're going
20:50
Speaker 2: to have a higher infant mortality rate. That definitely has
20:53
Speaker 2: an impact on our numbers. And then, don't forget it
20:56
Speaker 2: turns out that we've been getting screwed, if you will,
20:59
Speaker 2: by a lot in the industry over the years, because
21:02
Speaker 2: we've been paying higher prices for our medicine and for
21:05
Speaker 2: medical treatment in essence to subsidize in the other countries.
21:09
Speaker 2: And finally, you look at the other countries, and we
21:12
Speaker 2: have been subsidizing them by providing military so that they
21:15
Speaker 2: can afford to give their people whatever, free universities, free healthcare,
21:19
Speaker 2: while we are paying to defend them, and they are
21:22
Speaker 2: saving billions and billions of dollars. Seven ten WR The
21:26
Speaker 2: Voice of New York.
21:27
Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on seven ten WR.
21:31
Speaker 4: Kin from Mark Today, Here's Ken Rosatto and it's.
21:34
Speaker 2: Our good to be with you. Yay, Happy Friday, Happy Holidays.
21:38
Speaker 2: We're just past the halfway point for Hanukah, and we
21:40
Speaker 2: got Christmas just six days away. Have you done your
21:44
Speaker 2: shopping yet? Man, oh man, if you haven't. Coming up
21:47
Speaker 2: an hour from now, we'll be talking to a guy
21:51
Speaker 2: who knows all things tech and gadgets. He is His
21:54
Speaker 2: name is Fisher, and I use him on the show
21:56
Speaker 2: I do in New Jersey on the channel I'm on
21:59
Speaker 2: New Jersey. I'll use him all the time. He gets
22:02
Speaker 2: these great things, these great bargains you're going to want
22:05
Speaker 2: to know about. He's also going to talk about little hacks,
22:08
Speaker 2: credit card tricks, and how to protect yourself with the
22:11
Speaker 2: credit cards over the holidays, also to use up those
22:15
Speaker 2: points before the end of the year in some cases
22:17
Speaker 2: they expire. So that's all coming up just about fifty
22:20
Speaker 2: eight minutes, not to be that precise, but fifty eight
22:22
Speaker 2: minutes from now with Fisher. He'll be on with all
22:25
Speaker 2: that info. You give us a call if you'd like.
22:27
Speaker 2: We were supposed to have Roger Friedman on. Now. If
22:30
Speaker 2: Roger's out there, maybe he got his time and mixed up. Roger,
22:33
Speaker 2: give us a call. We need to have you on.
22:35
Speaker 2: So Roger Friedman from Showbiz four to one one was
22:37
Speaker 2: going to call in we're looking for him right now.
22:39
Speaker 2: In the meantime, we'll use this time for you if
22:42
Speaker 2: you'd like to give us a call. It's eight hundred
22:44
Speaker 2: three to two one zero seven ten. Eight hundred three
22:48
Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten. Hey, check this out. Crude
22:52
Speaker 2: oil prices have dropped to under fifty five dollars a
22:57
Speaker 2: barrel now. That has been translating to lower prices at
23:01
Speaker 2: the pump. The price per gallon of regular gas has
23:04
Speaker 2: fallen below three dollars a gallon in almost every state,
23:09
Speaker 2: and even below two dollars a gallon in a few places,
23:12
Speaker 2: and that will definitely have an impact on the price
23:15
Speaker 2: of everything, because everything you buy is transported. Think about it.
23:21
Speaker 2: You have the trucks with produce and chickens, and they
23:24
Speaker 2: all drive, and the driver has to buy the gas,
23:27
Speaker 2: and that price has to be passed on everything. Even
23:31
Speaker 2: home heating oil comes from crude oil natural gas. It's
23:36
Speaker 2: a different source, but nonetheless it's all connected. Put it
23:40
Speaker 2: this way, if people are getting cheaper oil prices to
23:43
Speaker 2: heat their home, there will be less reliance on natural gas,
23:47
Speaker 2: so there'll be greater supply, et cetera. The price comes down,
23:50
Speaker 2: So this impacts our overall price, overall all right, for everything.
23:56
Speaker 2: Listen to what the slime bags in Trenton, New Jersey
24:00
Speaker 2: have done. I'm no friend of the state legislators in
24:02
Speaker 2: New Jersey. I'm shocked they haven't put a hit out
24:04
Speaker 2: on me yet. Not that I'm suggesting anything, but the
24:08
Speaker 2: liberal lawmakers in the Garden state just voted to hike
24:11
Speaker 2: the state gas tax to nearly fifty cents a gallon,
24:16
Speaker 2: forty nine point one cents a gallon, to be exact,
24:19
Speaker 2: it's like up a little over four cents from what
24:21
Speaker 2: it is at this very second. As of January first,
24:25
Speaker 2: it becomes forty nine point one CeNSE per gallon of gas.
24:29
Speaker 2: That's just the new Jersey state tax, and the new
24:33
Speaker 2: Jersey state tax on diesel per gallon will be fifty
24:37
Speaker 2: six point one CeNSE per gallon. So trucks that transport
24:41
Speaker 2: all our goods when you see on the highway, those
24:43
Speaker 2: big Target trucks and Walmart trucks, and you know, the
24:49
Speaker 2: non electric vehicles for any of the other transporters, et cetera,
24:55
Speaker 2: they're all, you know, driving on diesel for the most part.
24:58
Speaker 2: And even those who you evs you think ken I
25:02
Speaker 2: plug in my car and I have nothing to do
25:04
Speaker 2: with this. Well, yeah you do, because most of the
25:06
Speaker 2: power plants out there are still fossil fuel powered, so
25:10
Speaker 2: they too get their source of power from crude oil.
25:14
Speaker 2: So everybody and everything will be impacted by this. As
25:19
Speaker 2: the wholesale cost per gallon of gas is dropping in
25:21
Speaker 2: New Jersey, listen to what these little dirt bags are
25:24
Speaker 2: doing in trent I'm sorry, these state lawmakers in Trenton
25:27
Speaker 2: are currently doing. They decided that because President Trump is
25:33
Speaker 2: getting the cost of crude down, they would simultaneously jack
25:37
Speaker 2: up the tax for the state of New Jersey. That
25:41
Speaker 2: fulfills two things for them. Number One, you in New
25:45
Speaker 2: Jersey buying gas will not notice the price has come
25:49
Speaker 2: down because the tax went up. Therefore, you don't know
25:52
Speaker 2: that the price per gallon came down. That's number one.
25:56
Speaker 2: Number Two, it ends up giving them more money in
26:00
Speaker 2: the coffers for them to do with what they want
26:02
Speaker 2: to get re elected. One of the interesting things they
26:05
Speaker 2: pointed out when asked why they had to increase the tax,
26:09
Speaker 2: they said, because people have done a good job listening
26:11
Speaker 2: to us. And a reporter asked, what are you talking about?
26:14
Speaker 2: And legislators in New Jersey said, well, we've been telling
26:17
Speaker 2: people to do less driving carpool, more, use car shares,
26:21
Speaker 2: use mass transit, and they have. As a result, we've
26:24
Speaker 2: sold less gas, which means we've had lower gas tax revenue.
26:28
Speaker 2: So now we have to raise the price of gas
26:31
Speaker 2: tax to make up for the people driving less. So
26:34
Speaker 2: you're getting punished for doing the right thing from an
26:37
Speaker 2: environmental perspective. Isn't that nice. That's the way democrats think
26:41
Speaker 2: of you. Middle finger right to your face, and they
26:44
Speaker 2: think we're all stupid. But here's part of the problem.
26:47
Speaker 2: When you open up the floodgates to nearly a million
26:50
Speaker 2: illegal migrants, and you have to come up with all
26:53
Speaker 2: this extra money to educate the kids, give them two
26:57
Speaker 2: to three squares a day in public school. You have
26:59
Speaker 2: to give the folks coming into the state a free
27:01
Speaker 2: place to live, you have to give them food, you
27:04
Speaker 2: have to help them with other resources. Well, that money
27:07
Speaker 2: has got to come from somewhere. And the state says, well,
27:09
Speaker 2: we don't have a fund for that. Of course not,
27:11
Speaker 2: because money is fungible. What that means is, pardon me.
27:16
Speaker 2: They take a little from this program. First, Now I'm
27:18
Speaker 2: gonna call pardon me. They take a little from this
27:21
Speaker 2: program and take a little from that program, and that's
27:23
Speaker 2: how they pay for it. And so those programs end
27:26
Speaker 2: up in a deficit. At the end of the year,
27:28
Speaker 2: your taxes go up, and that's how you pay for it.
27:31
Speaker 2: This is the way the Democrats think. And in the
27:33
Speaker 2: state of New Jersey, the Democrats control the State Assembly,
27:37
Speaker 2: the state Senate, they have the governorship, and of course
27:40
Speaker 2: in January they will have the governorship again. They control
27:43
Speaker 2: the state Supreme Court. They also control nine of the
27:47
Speaker 2: twelve Congress seats. I should say in the federal government,
27:51
Speaker 2: nine of the twelve are Democrats. They control both US
27:54
Speaker 2: Senate seats, and they control the top fifteen largest cities.
27:59
Speaker 2: The mayors and the councils are all controlled by Democrats
28:02
Speaker 2: in New Jersey. So you cannot blame anyone but the
28:06
Speaker 2: Democrats for this. Let's go to Joyce in Hawthorne, New Jersey. Joyce,
28:10
Speaker 2: you're a fellow garden Stater. You know what I'm talking about.
28:12
Speaker 2: Good morning and happy holidays. Oh we just dropped that. Oh,
28:16
Speaker 2: let's go to Bill in New Jersey. I'm sorry. Let's
28:17
Speaker 2: go to Bill in New Jersey. Fellow garden Stater. Good morning.
28:21
Speaker 6: Hey, Ken, how you doing.
28:23
Speaker 2: I'm great.
28:24
Speaker 6: I I wanna, I wanna thank you very much for
28:28
Speaker 6: finally being the person to start screaming about this incoming
28:32
Speaker 6: tax It's it's Murphy's last poke in the eye to
28:35
Speaker 6: the people of New Jersey, and he's already set up
28:39
Speaker 6: the new affordability governor to take a fall right off
28:43
Speaker 6: the back. So it's just amazing. Uh what these people
28:48
Speaker 6: have done.
28:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is this is the game they play, and
28:51
Speaker 2: they think we're all stupid. But I mean, you got
28:54
Speaker 2: to give them credit for looking at this opportunity. You
28:57
Speaker 2: knew Trump was gonna get gas prices down, so why
29:00
Speaker 2: not just add taxes at the same time so it'll
29:03
Speaker 2: look like Trump hasn't done anything. The price for a
29:05
Speaker 2: gallon of gas in New Jersey is the same as
29:07
Speaker 2: it was a month ago or two months ago. Meanwhile,
29:10
Speaker 2: the wholesale price is down. It's just that the state
29:13
Speaker 2: tax is up. Do you know what The breakdown of
29:15
Speaker 2: taxes on a gallon of gases. Wholesale gas is about
29:19
Speaker 2: a dollar sixty a gallon. Then you have to add
29:21
Speaker 2: about eighteen cents federal tax. That's all it is. Eighteen
29:25
Speaker 2: cents New Jersey is almost fifty cents a gallon for
29:28
Speaker 2: the state, and then in big cities like New York,
29:30
Speaker 2: they add another forty six cents or so per gallon.
29:33
Speaker 2: New York State adds forty six cents a gallon, and
29:36
Speaker 2: then you have you know, county municipalities in some case
29:39
Speaker 2: tacking it on, and then whatever little bit that the
29:41
Speaker 2: local retailer sales to make money on it, they usually
29:45
Speaker 2: only make about a nickel. So that's how we have
29:47
Speaker 2: the price of gas. It's comprised at this point mostly
29:50
Speaker 2: of taxes and fees, not the cost of wholesale. It's crazy.
29:54
Speaker 6: Yeah, And you know, New Jersey used to be one
29:58
Speaker 6: of the best states in the country, even despite the
30:00
Speaker 6: fact we don't have self service gas. We used to
30:03
Speaker 6: have some of the best prices in the country. Now
30:06
Speaker 6: forget about it. I've just came back from Texas. Prices
30:10
Speaker 6: down there for over Thanksgiving to now have dropped thirty
30:14
Speaker 6: cents a gallon. What's happening in New Jersey? Nickels and
30:17
Speaker 6: dimes going up.
30:19
Speaker 2: It's crazy. It's crazy. But again, this is what happens
30:22
Speaker 2: when they keep voting Democrat. I don't understand. I thought
30:25
Speaker 2: for sure this time Chitterrelly was going to do it
30:28
Speaker 2: to lose. The way he lost just makes me lose
30:31
Speaker 2: a lot of faith in my fellow garden Staters. Hey,
30:33
Speaker 2: thank you so much for don't.
30:36
Speaker 6: Don't get me started on Chitdarelly. I can tell you
30:39
Speaker 6: what his campaign failings were.
30:42
Speaker 2: Well, we'll do a whole show on that. You call
30:44
Speaker 2: back again, we could do that call. You could always
30:46
Speaker 2: call me on my show in New Jersey that I do.
30:48
Speaker 2: We'll put you on for that. But listen, I appreciate
30:51
Speaker 2: the call. Happy holidays, and thanks for checking in with.

Speaker 2: Go straight through our busy phones on this holiday Friday.
31:53
Speaker 2: Bob and Montvale, New Jersey, Good morning.
31:56
Speaker 3: Hey, good morning, Ken. Hope you feeling better. You have
32:00
Speaker 3: to take the raw honey with that throat. I'm telling you.
32:02
Speaker 3: I'm not being junk out of the Teddy Bear tubes,
32:05
Speaker 3: but I hope you're feeling better there. But you know
32:08
Speaker 3: what bugs me is here and these New Jersey people,
32:11
Speaker 3: now I'm New Jersey complaining. I mean, where were they
32:16
Speaker 3: when you know Cheryl was talking about you know, made
32:19
Speaker 3: no sense about. You know, it wasn't going to raise taxes.
32:23
Speaker 3: This gas tax was a known thing. Our utility bills
32:27
Speaker 3: are going to go up again. Oh and the tolls
32:29
Speaker 3: are going up on the throw on the parkways. So
32:33
Speaker 3: you know, I blame early voting, believe it or not,
32:37
Speaker 3: I thought Jack should really was was it? Gimme me?
32:40
Speaker 3: Especially what goes on here in this state. It's a
32:43
Speaker 3: sanctuary state. This is what we're paying for. And it
32:46
Speaker 3: really sickens me to hear people now like complaining it's
32:51
Speaker 3: too late, folks.
32:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is the problem. When you only have
32:54
Speaker 2: about fifteen to twenty percent of the population actually getting
32:56
Speaker 2: off their butts and going out and voting, that is
32:59
Speaker 2: the problem.
33:00
Speaker 6: You know.
33:00
Speaker 2: The liberal activist types got out there and voted. Meanwhile,
33:04
Speaker 2: a lot of the older folks who tended to be
33:06
Speaker 2: more conservative, they sat home and they said, well, well,
33:10
Speaker 2: I only vote for the president stuff. No, you got
33:13
Speaker 2: to vote for everything. That is the problem. Bob, we
33:17
Speaker 2: gotta go. We're up against the top of the hour.
33:19
Speaker 2: I appreciate you, sir. Happy holidays to you. Seven to
33:22
