  Speaker 1: an honor to do so. A Happy Thursday to you.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: And yes, I was the guy who was on TV
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: in New York for about a thousand years, back when
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: TV was a fake cardboard box and a little piece
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: of plastic and somebody would sit inside the box and say, Hello, Sunday,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: we'll have a TV. I've Ket Rosato. And yeah, I
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: used to be on Channel seven. I was there for
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: twenty years. Yes, they literally built the station around my body.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I spent some time anchoring Good Day in New York
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: as well on Channel five. That was a good time.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Now I host a daily show on a New Jersey
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: based news channel. It is called on New Jersey. We
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: talked about that in the last hour. It's one of
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: these new streaming channels which is free to the public.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: It's the next level. The next generation of television is
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: now this best. People cut the cord. They don't want
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to pay for cable anymore. So these channels are called
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: fast channels, and they are free and you can get
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: them when you buy your like Samsung TV or Sony whatever.

  Speaker 1: food and all things food, go to Thefooddude dot us.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: It's one hundred percent free Thefooddude dot Us. Well, we
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about today. Our phone lines
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: are open. We'd love for you to call up take
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: part in the conversation today, and the number is always
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: is one eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Well, of course,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: tonight is the big Mayl Debate. It's on Channel four
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: from seven to nine, and David Ushery is going to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: be taking care. David is awesome, so he'll do a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: great job. Love David works with him. In fact, when
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I started at Channel seven, David had just left Channel
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: seven to go to Channel four, and I had only
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: met him a couple of times. But anytime we see
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: each other, he could not be a nicer guy. And
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I know he's going to do great. So, of course
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: we have Curtis, Mom, Donnie and Andrew Cuomo. Tonight we
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: have a lot of people who are supporting Curtis. Even
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: though he's third in the polls, he still believes he
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: has that shot, and we keep our fingers crossed for him.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Jeanne MONDAMMI and Andrew Clomo believed that migrants should vote.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I say no. They of for no cash bail. I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: say no. Mom Donnie in the meantime has his own beliefs,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: of course, and he has not been secretive about it. Yesterday,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: of course he was on Fox News Channel. They could
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: not nail him down on a few things. Here's Mom
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Donnie talking about Andrew Cuomo.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Andrew, you had your chance to lead this state. You
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: took that time to sell out working class New Yorkers
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: to your billionaire donors, and instead of actually meeting the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: needs of people who couldn't afford to live in the city,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: you gave nine hundred and fifty nine million dollars in
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: tax breaks to Elon Musk And now you want us
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: to believe that we can't spend less money than that
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: to make every bus fast and free in the same.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: City fast and free. First of all, buses can't be
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: fast because the roads are congested. As long as you
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: make bike lanes every They're ubiquitous in New York City.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: You know streets that are supposed to be made for
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: vehicles and buy vehicles, I mean cars and trucks. You know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: liberals love their little bithickle Let's get a little bithickles jingchingching.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Even people on bikes can't get from point A to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: point B quickly. We do need roads for things like
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: cars and trucks. I will never understand it. I have
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: relatives and friends who live in Manhattan, and they get
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: very manhattan centric and arrogant and selfish about it, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: they say, basically, they just want their street locked down
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and shut down forgetting that. You know what, You still
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: have to get food delivered to the restaurants. You still
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: want your Amazon package delivered to you, but you don't
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: want any means for that. You don't want the roads
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to be utilized by motor vehicles. Can't have it both ways, folks.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: If you want to live in a three thousand foot
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: tall building and have twenty thousand people in that building,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: somehow you have to get supplies to them, and you're
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: not going to get it with somebody walking in or
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: coming in with a donkey. Okay, that's not the way
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: it works. You need motor vehicles. And then, of course
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo is going to be there tonight as well,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure he'll have his opinions about his two
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: people he's running against.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Mister Mandami's plan for Rikers Island is either incoherent and
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: incompetent or diabolically manipulated.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It almost took twenty seconds for him to say diabolically manipulative.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I was talking to my almost ninety five year old
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: father the other day about this, God bless him, and
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: we were talking about the cadence of Andrew Cuomo's voice
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and how Mario Cuomo rest his soul. And I had
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: met Mario Cuomo a number of times. Mario Cuomo kind
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: of had that unusual cadence, that strange accent, strange by us.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: It's sort of the Queen's accent from the nineteen fifties,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: which for those I'm like an accent nut. The Queen's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: accent from the nineteen fifties has almost a Boston sound
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: mixed in with a strange slow case. So Mario Cuomo
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: sort of had that. Andrew Cuomo sounds like he's trying
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to copy his dad. But going at one third the speed.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: So you have this very slow cade. Thence Mark does
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: andrew much better than me. I'm not going to try
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to keep going, but nonetheless, we'll see what happens tonight.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You have Zoron Mamdani in the polls leading by anywhere
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: from nine to eleven points right now, but who knows.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Hopefully people will watch tonight and they'll learn more about
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: what's going on, and also, more importantly, hopefully more people
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: come out and vote. Don't let the next mayor of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: New York get decided on by about ten or fifteen
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: percent of eligible voters. That is just antithetical to our
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: democratic republic. Seven ten wore the Voice of New York.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: It's Ken Rozotto. I'm in for Mark, and Mark will
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: be back tomorrow. For those wondering, Ken, we like you,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: but get lost, we want Mark back. While I'm with you,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I like listening to the Mark two. I've tried my best,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: so bear with me. We will take your calls at
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten. Eight
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: hundred three two one zero seven ten. Well, now we
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: also have big news about the shutdown. The government shutdown.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: The Senate held yet another vote yesterday. They're holding another
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: one today on whether to accept the continuing resolution to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: reopen the federal government. Once again, the Democrats stood firm,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: voting against the plan, thus keeping the government closed. So
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: when Marcus said this before, I've said this on my
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: show in New Jersey, this is the Schumer shutdown. Why
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: everybody in the House on the Republican side passed the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: continuing resolution to continue the spending plan that was voted
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: on and approved by Democrats a year ago under Biden?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So why was it okay then? And we're only talking
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: about passing a continue resolution that will last a few
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: weeks so we can continue the debate for the new budget.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Why was it okay then when Biden was president? But
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: it's not okay now. Democrats huhm. It is a as
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: they call a clean bill, meaning it was exactly a
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: continuation of the existing budget, and Democrats won't vote for
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: that in the Senate. Remember, in the Senate, you need
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: sixty votes to pass a spending measure, not just a
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: simple majority. Republicans have the simple majority, but they don't
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: have sixty votes, and CHUCKI, Chuck Schumer is ensuring that
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: they will not give any votes to the Republicans to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: pass this. It's not just the Republicans, CHUCKI Chuck, it's
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to the nation. You complain for years that the very
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: thing we can have is a government shut down. Well
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: your party is causing it. This is the Schumer shut down.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: So now Donald Trump has a middle finger back to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Chucky Chuck, saying that you know what the Gateway Tunnel product,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: which is for billions of dollars and is going to
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: employ thousands of people in New York and New Jersey
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: for that matter. The Gateway Tunnel project was made possible
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: by a grant, a grant, not a congressionally approved amount
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: of money, but a grant signed in by President Biden.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: And now that the government is shut down, President Trump
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: is the chief executive. He runs everything when Congress is
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: out because they're they're broke, right, the government's shut down.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So he has canceled the grant. He didn't say temporarily,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: he said it's terminated, Chucky Chuck. This was something that
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Chucky Chuck worked on for twenty years. This was going
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: to be what he left his legacy, and it's now
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: shut down.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Here was Trump yesterday, we're terminating those programs and they're
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: going to be terminated on a permanent basis, and it's
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: thousands of people, and it's you know, billions of dollars.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it is. CHUCKI Chuck. So now his
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: legacy is mud okay, and we all have to suffer
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: for it. By the way, yes, we need that tunnel.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: We had Mike oh Rasmussen from the Rebevision Institute at
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Writer University on in the last hour. He's a friend
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: of mine, a political expert, and he pointed out that, yeah,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: everybody's going to suffer because we need this tunnel. The
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: tunnel right now that connects New York and New Jersey
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: is what actually connects the entire Northeast Corridor for Amtrak
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and all the other trains. And the tunnel is over
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: one hundred years old. The tracks are crumbling. We need
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a new tunnel with new tracks and new technology. And
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: now it looks like we have a major setback. Do
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: not blame Donald Trump for it. You want to have
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: that track back, you got to open up the government,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Chuck E. Chuck, get your couple of Democrats in the Senate.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: All you need is four or five Democrats to vote
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: along with every one of the Republicans except for one.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: The one is Rand Paul. But every other Republican is
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: supporting this. Get to work and you could have your
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: money back in the meantime. Sorry, but it's going to
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: be shut down. Governor hokel all of shit about it
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: yesterday said this.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: This is not sticking it to New York. This is
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: the Northeastern Corridor. To make sure that our tunnels are safe.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: They're damaged by Superstorm Sandy. They're over one hundred years old.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: We need to replace them because if this system of
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: transportation collapses, the Northeastern economy and economy the country collapsed.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: So why be so shortsighted.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe you could talk to Chucky Chuck Schumer about that, Kathy,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: and get a couple of Democrats to support the continuing
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Resolution to reopen the government and we could get it back.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Do not put the blame in the wrong place. This
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: lies strictly with the Democrats in the Senate. Eight hundred
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: three to two one zero seven ten, eight hundred three
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to two one zero seven ten. You're listening to seven
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: ten wo R the Voice of New York. This is
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Canrosatto in for the Great Mark Simone, Mister New York.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Mark has a day off, but he will be back tomorrow,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: so you and I both get to listen to it. Hey,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: are you a fan of the late Diane Keaton? Was
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: she not amazing? A wonderful actress? She had just such
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: a likable way about her and everything that she did.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: And we now find out how she died. We find
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: out that it was from pneumonia at the age of
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: seventy nine. You'll recall she died last Saturday. May she
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: rest in peace and Mss Keaton, thank you. I was
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a big fan. Thank you for the many years of
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: joy that you gave to so many people. Just a wonderful,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: wonderful actress. Katie Porter remains absolutely cuckoo Kachew missus Robinson nuts.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: That's the congresswoman from California who's running for governor of
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the Golden State. While she sat down for another interview
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and she could not confirm to the reporter that there
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: weren't more videos of her screaming, losing her cool and
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: being angry, the reporter asked her several times, can you
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: tell me right now that we will not find another
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: video of you popping up on the days ahead, And
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: she just said I've learned from my mistakes. I'm wrong,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to do my b The answer is yeah,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: there are probably tons of videos out there. Why because
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: she's crazy. She is crazy.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: This is a.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Woman you could tell and boy, I'm going to give
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: you my dime store psychology here. This is a woman
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: who was never told no. This is a woman who
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: was never criticized by mommy and daddy, and you could
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: just tell she just got away. She was my daddy's
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: little princess and told that she could have anything she
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: wants because anyone who does anything around her that she
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: disagrees with, she just blows up.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: At.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Her own husband divorced her, she dumped. According to the
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: divorce filing, she allegedly dumped boiling hot water with mashed
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: potatoes on his head, causing him to get scalded. Who
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: does that? I mean, even if you were seriously angry
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: at somebody, if you ever thought about taking a boiling
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: hot pot of something and dumping it on their heads,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: who does this? She may have a very serious anger
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: management issue just based on the videos we've seen and
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: reading about that this is just not acceptable. Yet she
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: has a lead in the polls right now. In California
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: fifteen percent, granted, and there's a big pool of people
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: running for governor. It's not in this November's election, by
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the way, it is next November's election. But the idea
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: that there are people in the Democrat Party who are
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: so crazy in California that they are still standing behind
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: her because as far as she's concerned, she can do
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: no wrong as far as they're concerned, I should say.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: And while she is in the lead, there are other
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: candidates you people in California, you know, including other Democrat candidates.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: By the way, although if you're a political junkie like me,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: you probably would support Steve Hilton, the guy who used
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: to be on Fox News Channel. He's the guy with
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the British accent. Super brilliant. He just became a US
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: citizen in the last few years, very proud to be
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and he is very proud to be running for governor
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of California. Remember Arnold Schwarzenegger was a man who was
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a naturalized US citizen as well, and he was a
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: very successful governor there in the past. So we'll see
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: what happens. Steve Hilton's not too far behind. He's about
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: ten percent in the polls still have a year ago.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: But throw your support behind somebody out there, hopefully somebody
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: on the right. Seven ten WR the Voice of New York.
