- 0:08Speaker 1: with you on a Friday, and a nice Friday. Friday
- 0:11Speaker 1: days is going to be partly cloudy today and high's
- 0:14Speaker 1: in the upper eighties. Not a bad day at all.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Heard Mark talking about the nice weather the other day,
- 0:18Speaker 1: saying how the heavy storms and humidity are basically behind this.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Now there's just a chance, a little tiny chance of
- 0:25Speaker 1: a passing shower here or there for the next few days,
- 0:29Speaker 1: so we will take it. It is nice to be
- 0:31Speaker 1: with you. Mark has a long weekend. And this is
- 0:34Speaker 1: Ken Risotto, the guy used to be on Channel seven
- 0:37Speaker 1: and Channel five for decades here in New York. Boy,
- 0:40Speaker 1: does that make me sound old? My mother, my mother,
- 0:43Speaker 1: God bless her. She is going to be eighty eight tomorrow.
- 0:46Speaker 1: And she said, boy, when you say that, you sound
- 0:48Speaker 1: like you're one hundred years old. To say, thanks, Mom,
- 0:50Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Now. Really we got longevity in the
- 0:53Speaker 1: family though. Dad is ninety five and a half and
- 0:55Speaker 1: Mom turns eighty eight. As I mentioned, they're going to
- 0:57Speaker 1: see them today and that they get to listen. They
- 1:01Speaker 1: are big fans. As I am I of the Mark
- 1:04Speaker 1: Simone show Mark Simone now doing three hours a day
- 1:07Speaker 1: Monday through Friday, nine am to noon, and we hope
- 1:09Speaker 1: you catch that first hour too. Each day it is
- 1:13Speaker 1: just as action packed as the second and third hours.
- 1:16Speaker 1: But it is good to be with you. We'd love
- 1:18Speaker 1: to hear what you have to say. The number to
- 1:20Speaker 1: call is eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Well, of course,
- 1:28Speaker 1: all the buzz this morning is on Luigi Luigi, Luigi Mangioni.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Everybody wants to find out what is going to happen,
- 1:38Speaker 1: and I think that Listen, I'll tell you right now
- 1:41Speaker 1: what happens being in the TV biz, all right, Having
- 1:43Speaker 1: been in the TV biz for forty years that I
- 1:46Speaker 1: have been, you have people who work in the executive
- 1:51Speaker 1: producer positions and the assignment desk positions, and whatever their
- 1:56Speaker 1: personal opinions are, that's the way that stories gets steered.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Believe me, now, I think in a lot of cases
- 2:04Speaker 1: it's not even an intentional thing. It's just what their
- 2:06Speaker 1: gut tells them. And a lot of these positions today
- 2:10Speaker 1: are filled by women. Years ago, it was a lot
- 2:12Speaker 1: of crotchety old men who used to fill the executive
- 2:16Speaker 1: producer and the assignment manager positions. Today it's more than
- 2:20Speaker 1: it's I think seventy percent female in these roles. And
- 2:24Speaker 1: that's why you tend to have politics that are way
- 2:26Speaker 1: to the left in TV news, and you have story
- 2:31Speaker 1: coverage that tends to be like this. I guarantee if
- 2:36Speaker 1: you had old white guys, yes I'm being emphatic about that,
- 2:40Speaker 1: old white guys running a TV station right now like
- 2:43Speaker 1: they did thirty years ago and twenty years ago, you
- 2:47Speaker 1: would not have all Luigi Mangioni all the time right now.
- 2:50Speaker 1: But I'm looking at Fox News, I'm looking at MS
- 2:54Speaker 1: now on the wall here Mark puts them all on.
- 2:56Speaker 1: He has CNN, and then what is that spectrum one? Yeah,
- 3:00Speaker 1: spectrum one in the lower corner, and everything is like
- 3:04Speaker 1: it's all on Luigi, Luigi Luigi. It's been that way
- 3:08Speaker 1: all morning. For those just wondering what we're talking about
- 3:12Speaker 1: with Luigi Mangioni, the word is that his attorneys are
- 3:15Speaker 1: supposed to go to federal court this morning at eleven
- 3:19Speaker 1: am and they will allegedly try to cut a plea
- 3:23Speaker 1: deal with the federal judge bypassing the prosecutor going right
- 3:27Speaker 1: to the federal judge. That means that they must have
- 3:30Speaker 1: a deal in mind that they would like to offer.
- 3:33Speaker 1: And the thought is if the judge accepts the deal,
- 3:38Speaker 1: then that could short circuit the state deal because in
- 3:41Speaker 1: New York or the state trial, I should say, in
- 3:44Speaker 1: New York State there are very liberal double jeopardy laws.
- 3:49Speaker 1: The other way around doesn't work. So if he were
- 3:51Speaker 1: convicted of a specific offense in New York State, the
- 3:55Speaker 1: federal government is a little is a little different in
- 3:58Speaker 1: the way that they interpret the double jeopardy. Now, double
- 4:02Speaker 1: jeopardy is you can't try somebody twice for the same crime.
- 4:06Speaker 1: And what they did here is in federal court, the
- 4:10Speaker 1: crime that Luigi's accused of is stalking, not murder. It
- 4:16Speaker 1: is stalking. It is a different crime. In state court
- 4:20Speaker 1: it is murder. Okay, so there is and there's some
- 4:24Speaker 1: specific I'm giving you just the main charge, but there
- 4:27Speaker 1: are other charges.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Involved as well.
- 4:29Speaker 1: But one can loosely interpret if there were a deal
- 4:34Speaker 1: reached in federal court being that it's the same overall topic.
- 4:37Speaker 1: New York State looks at it as well. The stalking
- 4:40Speaker 1: has to do with the murder. Therefore, it's double jeopardy.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Therefore we'll throw it out. I think that's what the
- 4:46Speaker 1: thought is, that if they come to an agreement in
- 4:50Speaker 1: federal court with the federal judge, that the state will
- 4:53Speaker 1: toss out the state charges.
- 4:55Speaker 2: That's what Luigi's lawyers are hoping for.
- 4:57Speaker 1: It doesn't mean it's going to happen that way, but
- 5:00Speaker 1: it's sort of a hail Mary pass because I think
- 5:02Speaker 1: they realize the evidence is so overwhelming against Luigi Mangoni
- 5:08Speaker 1: right now, and everybody deserves a day in court. Don't
- 5:10Speaker 1: get me wrong. Innocent until proven guilty. But look, we
- 5:13Speaker 1: have videotape, we have all his writings. There's so much
- 5:19Speaker 1: that would potentially point to his alleged guilt here that
- 5:24Speaker 1: people scratch their heads and say, what are you kidding me?
- 5:27Speaker 1: The videotape alone is just grueling to see this.
- 5:31Speaker 2: You know this man.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Whatever you think about the insurance industry has nothing to
- 5:36Speaker 1: do with it. Nobody deserves to be condemned to death
- 5:40Speaker 1: because of their job. You know, Brian Thompson, you could
- 5:44Speaker 1: hate the insurance industry.
- 5:45Speaker 2: There is no butt he had a job. You don't
- 5:48Speaker 2: like it, then don't buy the insurance. You know, well,
- 5:51Speaker 2: it's easy for you to say.
- 5:53Speaker 1: No, you never death is not the same liberals, it's crazy.
- 5:59Speaker 2: The same who say.
- 6:00Speaker 1: That we can't have the the the government imposed a
- 6:04Speaker 1: death penalty seem to be okay with an individual.
- 6:07Speaker 2: Imposing the death penalty.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Really talk about hypocrisy, but yet it is the case
- 6:12Speaker 1: the same like the gen Z Libs who would say
- 6:16Speaker 1: that I'm against the death penalty because it's like not right,
- 6:20Speaker 1: Unlike the government shouldn't like kill people. What do you
- 6:23Speaker 1: think about Luigi Mangoni killing the United Healthcare CEO allegedly
- 6:28Speaker 1: Brian Thompson, Well, like, okay, in that case, he deserved that, really, Okay,
- 6:34Speaker 1: that's is he's looking at me like, what voice are
- 6:36Speaker 1: you doing? That's that's my interpretation of a gen Z Okay, yeah,
- 6:40Speaker 1: there it is. Oh no, if you want, I could
- 6:42Speaker 1: do I could do my interpretation. There is there is
- 6:45Speaker 1: upsweep talk like I've never heard before in gen Z.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Everything like the girls all talk like they're asking a question.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Everything is that I am so done with this anyway,
- 6:56Speaker 1: that's a whole other topic. Eight hundred three to two
- 6:58Speaker 1: one zero seven to ten, eight hundred and three two
- 7:01Speaker 1: one zero seven to ten. So because this supposedly will
- 7:05Speaker 1: happen at eleven. Eleven is when the judge will meet
- 7:09Speaker 1: with the defense attorneys, and ostensibly the defense attorneys will
- 7:15Speaker 1: propose a plea deal to the judge, and then it's
- 7:19Speaker 1: up to the judge to make a decision. We don't
- 7:21Speaker 1: know if the judge will decide today. The judge may say,
- 7:25Speaker 1: let me sleep on it, or the judge may say
- 7:27Speaker 1: that's a good deal.
- 7:28Speaker 2: We don't know.
- 7:29Speaker 1: So that's why everybody is set. If you look outside
- 7:32Speaker 1: Federal Court right now, it's like an army assembled thousands
- 7:36Speaker 1: of members of the media from all over the world
- 7:38Speaker 1: to see the results of this bushy, eyebrowed What I
- 7:42Speaker 1: think is an unattractive, doe looking guy who needs a
- 7:45Speaker 1: good shave and a bath.
- 7:48Speaker 2: It's just a generational thing. I guess.
- 7:50Speaker 1: I don't understand younger people who just look at him,
- 7:53Speaker 1: Oh he's hooked. I don't think he's.
- 7:54Speaker 2: Hoot at all.
- 7:55Speaker 1: Just me, I don't know. We have different interpretations of
- 7:58Speaker 1: what hot is. But then again, I don't think anyone's
- 8:01Speaker 1: targetting me with mister Mangoni, thankfully, but we would. We
- 8:08Speaker 1: will be talking with a former New York State Supreme Court,
- 8:11Speaker 1: Judge Judge Cammons, who is part of the same law firm,
- 8:16Speaker 1: my friend Arthur Rai Dalla and Imran i'nsory, they are
- 8:19Speaker 1: all partners in. And Judge Cammons, who's a super smart man.
- 8:23Speaker 1: He's tried many cases like this, and he is going
- 8:27Speaker 1: to speak to us this morning at ten forty and
- 8:30Speaker 1: we'll talk to him about what's going on right now,
- 8:32Speaker 1: what will happen in the state court if there is
- 8:35Speaker 1: a plea deal reached in the federal court. So he
- 8:38Speaker 1: is just the guy to talk to about this. We
- 8:41Speaker 1: got an expert on this coming up just a little bit,
- 8:44Speaker 1: and we'd have to know what you have to say
- 8:45Speaker 1: about it. Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten the
- 8:52Speaker 1: number to call. Moving on to other topics in the meantime,
- 8:55Speaker 1: have you heard about the uproar over ICE's new electric
- 8:59Speaker 1: shock gloves all right now? You would think that they
- 9:03Speaker 1: announced they were now hanging people in the public square.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Of course, the left is just rallying against it. Just
- 9:11Speaker 1: another thing those evil ICE agents are doing. So to
- 9:15Speaker 1: listen to the bucktooth one Kathy Hokel speaking about the
- 9:19Speaker 1: stun gloves.
- 9:20Speaker 3: Listen to This appears to me, on its face to
- 9:23Speaker 3: be a violation of civil rights to cause that kind
- 9:26Speaker 3: of physical harm to an individual, regardless of what the
- 9:30Speaker 3: offense may be.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Okay, all right, really, Kathy, I don't know how this
- 9:34Speaker 1: woman is in office. I don't know how this woman
- 9:37Speaker 1: can say that with a straight face. So these stun
- 9:40Speaker 1: gloves have about one sixth the power output of a
- 9:45Speaker 1: stun gun, which are legal for police to carry, so
- 9:49Speaker 1: local police can use stun guns on people, and she
- 9:52Speaker 1: doesn't have any issue with that, which, of course is
- 9:55Speaker 1: what they use instead of an actual gun.
- 9:57Speaker 2: So at the top of.
- 9:59Speaker 1: The pecking order of killing people is an actual gun,
- 10:02Speaker 1: then you have a stun gun. And stun gloves actually
- 10:06Speaker 1: are gloves that they that the police, federal officers in
- 10:09Speaker 1: this case, will wear in cold weather. They look like
- 10:12Speaker 1: regular gloves. It's just that they are equipped with a
- 10:15Speaker 1: switch that in the event somebody comes up to them
- 10:17Speaker 1: and starts to get in their faces and they don't
- 10:19Speaker 1: want to pull their gun and shoot the person, it's
- 10:22Speaker 1: enough to shock them to kind of surprise them and
- 10:24Speaker 1: take them off guard. The individuals who might be attacking
- 10:27Speaker 1: the officers So these are not It's not something that's
- 10:30Speaker 1: going to knock them to the ground and stop their
- 10:32Speaker 1: heart and put them into agonizing pain. It's like, it's
- 10:37Speaker 1: sort of the equivalent as I was reading of a
- 10:39Speaker 1: shock collar when you're training a pet.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Oh Ken, we're talking humans, not pets. Stop it, stop it.
- 10:46Speaker 1: I'm trying to give an example, all right, So an
- 10:49Speaker 1: analogy here. So these gloves are not agonizingly painful. They're
- 10:54Speaker 1: not punishment being rendered. Hey listen, you don't attack a cop.
- 10:58Speaker 1: You're never going to feel the other end the glove.
- 11:00Speaker 1: It's as simple as that. So this glove is actually
- 11:03Speaker 1: the equivalent. Would you prefer the cop punch the guy,
- 11:06Speaker 1: because that's what the couple have to do if they
- 11:08Speaker 1: don't use the stun glove. But no, these liberals want
- 11:10Speaker 1: ICE age. They don't want to recognize that ICE agents
- 11:12Speaker 1: are officers at all. That's problem number one. They barely
- 11:16Speaker 1: like to recognize that local police are police. But anyone
- 11:20Speaker 1: who is a friend of Trump, oh, we can't give
- 11:23Speaker 1: them the grace and the honor of being what they are.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Congress designated ICE as federal officers. This happened Post nine
- 11:30Speaker 1: to eleven. They are federal police officers with jurisdiction in
- 11:35Speaker 1: all fifty states. You don't like it, change the fricking law,
- 11:40Speaker 1: I said, fricking. Don't think I said the other word,
- 11:43Speaker 1: but I want to say the other word. It's as
- 11:45Speaker 1: simple as that. You don't like it, change the law.
- 11:48Speaker 1: But stop trying to convince kids, gen Z and libs
- 11:53Speaker 1: that somehow ICE agents have no authority and are just
- 11:57Speaker 1: these untrained civilians running rough shop over over society.
- 12:02Speaker 2: They're not. These are trained federal agents. All right.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Maybe they don't have twenty years in police academy, but
- 12:09Speaker 1: they're trained, and they're duly authorized, and they are out
- 12:12Speaker 1: there exercising the law. They are imposing the law on
- 12:17Speaker 1: us that our Congress voted for, and the president and
- 12:22Speaker 1: even in many cases Democrat presidents signed acts into law.
- 12:27Speaker 1: That's what they're carrying out. So don't get on their
- 12:30Speaker 1: cases for doing their jobs. Libs don't want you using
- 12:33Speaker 1: a stun gun. They don't want you using a baton.
- 12:37Speaker 1: They don't want you defending yourself with your fists. They
- 12:40Speaker 1: don't want you shooting people. They want ICE agents to
- 12:43Speaker 1: stand there and become victims themselves.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Because they deserve it. Because these poor.
- 12:47Speaker 1: If they look at everybody who's here illegally as this
- 12:50Speaker 1: poor innocent waif, and these evil ICE agents deserve to
- 12:54Speaker 1: stand there and take an attack. What is wrong with
- 12:57Speaker 1: you people, So Kathy, go get your teeth fixed the
- 13:00Speaker 1: right way and stop criticizing ICE agents who are doing
- 13:03Speaker 1: their job. And by the way, New York State lawmakers
- 13:06Speaker 1: who are trying to show their bravado. You could try
- 13:09Speaker 1: to pass all the laws you want against ICE agents
- 13:13Speaker 1: from using these stun gloves or anything else, or telling
- 13:16Speaker 1: them they have to wear masks, or telling them that
- 13:18Speaker 1: they can't be seen in public, or telling them that
- 13:21Speaker 1: they have to have idea, and you could tell them
- 13:23Speaker 1: all you want. It has no effect because under the Constitution,
- 13:29Speaker 1: federal agents have superseding authority over local laws. So as
- 13:35Speaker 1: long as the federal government says they can do X,
- 13:37Speaker 1: Y and Z, they can do it. Because the last
- 13:40Speaker 1: side checked, New York State is part.
- 13:42Speaker 2: Of the United States. I don't know if.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Something happened when I was asleep, maybe you came out
- 13:47Speaker 1: of the Union. But unless that is the case, they
- 13:50Speaker 1: are part of the United States. You are here, we
- 13:52Speaker 1: are all here part in the state of New York,
- 13:54Speaker 1: and you can't do a darn thing about it. You
- 13:56Speaker 1: could try charging the federal agents. It gets tossed out
- 13:58Speaker 1: on the surface.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Try all you want.
- 14:01Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Eight hundred
- 14:04Speaker 1: three to two one zero seven ten again. Coming up
- 14:07Speaker 1: a little later on, we will speak with retired Supreme
- 14:10Speaker 1: Court Judge Barry Cammons, the name partner at Idala, Burtuna
- 14:14Speaker 1: and Cammons Law Firm here in the city, regarding the
- 14:17Speaker 1: possible federal Luigi Mangioni plead deal.
- 14:20Speaker 2: It is ten
- 14:20Speaker 1: Twenty right now and we will take your calls next
- 14:23Speaker 1: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten for
- 14:25Speaker 1: seven ten wr
