Speaker 2: Here's Ken Rosotto. Ghit us so good to be with
0:09
Speaker 2: you on a Friday, and what a beautiful Friday it is.
0:13
Speaker 2: But man, oh man, does Mark always pick the best
0:16
Speaker 2: days to take off? There is so much news happening
0:19
Speaker 2: today that I have a headache. My head is spinning.
0:21
Speaker 2: I got in for the new First Hour and by
0:23
Speaker 2: the way, it still has that New First Hour smell,
0:26
Speaker 2: you know that, like that leather car seat smell. That's
0:29
Speaker 2: that's what the studio smells like for the nine am
0:31
Speaker 2: hour for the Mark Simone Show. So it is nice
0:33
Speaker 2: to be here for the first time in the nine
0:35
Speaker 2: am hour For those just tuning in saying, what's he
0:38
Speaker 2: talking about? Mark Simone Now is on from nine to noon,
0:42
Speaker 2: an extra hour of The Mark Simone Show for the
0:45
Speaker 2: same price as just the two hour show. It's fantastic.
0:49
Speaker 2: So this is Ken Rosatto, former New York City TV
0:51
Speaker 2: news anchor, now enjoying life filling in for the great
0:55
Speaker 2: Mark Simone. I also do a morning show over at
0:57
Speaker 2: on New Jersey ONNJ dot Com. That's a weekday show.
1:01
Speaker 2: Have a lot of fun over there. But we want
1:02
Speaker 2: to hear from you eight hundred three to two to
1:04
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten. Eight hundred three two one zero
1:09
Speaker 2: seven ten. So there is a lot happening. Is there
1:13
Speaker 2: a deal in place for United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson's
1:17
Speaker 2: alleged murderer, Luigi Maggoni, Now we may find something out
1:22
Speaker 2: about that in the next couple of hours, and how
1:25
Speaker 2: the state and federal cases would affect one another. Thompson
1:29
Speaker 2: was shot in the in the back at point blank range.
1:31
Speaker 2: You recall, on the morning of December fourth, twenty twenty four,
1:35
Speaker 2: is literally from the windows where I'm sitting right now
1:38
Speaker 2: in the Mark Simone studio, which by the way, is gilded.
1:42
Speaker 2: You think that you think that President Trump painted the
1:45
Speaker 2: Oval Office in gold. You have to see the way
1:46
Speaker 2: Simone did up the studio. Now that he has the
1:48
Speaker 2: nine am hour, he has gold, he has diamond chandeliers
1:52
Speaker 2: in here. It's it's unbelievable. It's like I feel like
1:55
Speaker 2: I should have wont a tuxedo coming in. But the
1:57
Speaker 2: windows about twenty feet behind where this studio is point
2:01
Speaker 2: out at the very spot where the shooting occurred. Back
2:05
Speaker 2: in December of twenty twenty four, So that's how close
2:07
Speaker 2: we are to where this happened. The New York Kilton
2:10
Speaker 2: is right there, and ABC News legal contributor Brian Buckmeyer
2:15
Speaker 2: has some details about what's happening.
2:17
Speaker 3: I think the plan is to try to get a
2:18
Speaker 3: good deal from the judge, sidestep the prosecution, take it
2:21
Speaker 3: from there, and in hope double jeopardy argument wins in
2:24
Speaker 3: the state court. And that's how you get Luigia Mangioni
2:26
Speaker 3: serving twelve years in prison because they probably believe this
2:29
Speaker 3: is a mitigation case rather than a trial case. So
2:31
Speaker 3: that's always that makes sense to me.
2:33
Speaker 2: We have a lot going on, So there are two cases.
2:35
Speaker 2: Remember there's the State of New York case, which is
2:38
Speaker 2: going on right now. But what is supposed to happen
2:41
Speaker 2: today at eleven am is that his attorney, his federal attorney,
2:46
Speaker 2: will go to the federal judge and try to cut
2:49
Speaker 2: a plea deal with the federal judge, and then they're
2:52
Speaker 2: hoping retroactively that will then short circuit the state case
2:56
Speaker 2: and they'll just have a plea deal with the Feds
2:58
Speaker 2: and call it a day. That's my basic understanding of it.
3:02
Speaker 2: I am not a lawyer, a friend of mine. In fact,
3:04
Speaker 2: my personal attorney is criminal defense attorney, not because I've
3:08
Speaker 2: committed crimes. He's just a personal attorney, criminal defense attorney. Imron,
3:12
Speaker 2: I'm sorry he's going to be here a little later
3:14
Speaker 2: to talk about what is happening this morning. In fact,
3:17
Speaker 2: he's going to be reporting for Fox when it happens.
3:21
Speaker 2: So he was good enough to give us some of
3:22
Speaker 2: his time today, so we'll talk to him about that
3:25
Speaker 2: in detail. That's kind of big. I'm sure there are
3:27
Speaker 2: still a lot of you who are probably rolling your
3:29
Speaker 2: eyes saying, enough of this kid, throw him in jail
3:32
Speaker 2: or whatever. But everybody deserves time at a court. We'll
3:35
Speaker 2: find out. I just wonder if he will have federally
3:39
Speaker 2: mandated eyebrow trimming when he gets I have heard from
3:45
Speaker 2: certain people who have said, oh I think they look good.
3:48
Speaker 2: You think, oh my god, my gosh. I look at
3:51
Speaker 2: those eyebrows, and I get a little nauseous. I can't
3:53
Speaker 2: have lunch when I look at those things. Just get
3:55
Speaker 2: some hedge clippers on those, for God's sake. I just
3:58
Speaker 2: don't understand. I digress again. That will be something we
4:03
Speaker 2: will cover apparently at eleven a m. His attorney, remember
4:07
Speaker 2: he has different attorneys for New York State and for
4:10
Speaker 2: the federal case. I believe the federal attorney is a
4:16
Speaker 2: guy named Avi. First name is Avi. I forget the
4:19
Speaker 2: last time a thing? Is it moscowitz? I believe so
4:21
Speaker 2: so Avi will be before the federal judge apparently this morning.
4:26
Speaker 2: That'll be happening at eleven. That doesn't mean that the
4:29
Speaker 2: judge will make a decision at eleven. It's just that
4:32
Speaker 2: the case will be discussed allegedly, apparently reportedly between the
4:38
Speaker 2: attorney and the judge, and who knows. The judge could say,
4:41
Speaker 2: all right, this is what you'd like. I think that's acceptable,
4:44
Speaker 2: go ahead and do it and put it all in motion.
4:47
Speaker 2: And if that is the case and it gets accepted,
4:50
Speaker 2: then it becomes a question of how does that impact
4:52
Speaker 2: the state case. Will the state still move forward or
4:55
Speaker 2: will that short circuit case under the rules of double jeopardy.
5:00
Speaker 2: So we'll talk about that with Imron. I'm sorry he is.
5:02
Speaker 2: He is the man who knows these cases. He's done
5:05
Speaker 2: a lot of criminal cases with my dear friend Arthur
5:09
Speaker 2: Idalla to phenomenal, probably two of the best attorneys in
5:12
Speaker 2: the business right here in New York City. But Imron
5:15
Speaker 2: will be the one the partner who is on this morning.
5:18
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten eight hundred
5:21
Speaker 2: three to two one zero seven ten for seven ten
5:24
Speaker 2: wo r Ken Rozatto win from Mark, Happy Friday, Happy
5:27
Speaker 2: weekend to you. Did you hear about the story that
5:30
Speaker 2: they were talking about this morning on the Morning Show?
5:33
Speaker 2: Curtis and Larry talked about this the aircraft carrier USS
5:37
Speaker 2: Abraham Lincoln. Now, if you're like me, a lot of
5:40
Speaker 2: folks in the Mark Simon audience, we love our members
5:44
Speaker 2: of the military who risk their lives to defend us,
5:48
Speaker 2: keep us free, keep us a great nation. And because
5:52
Speaker 2: so many of these members have been deployed on the
5:56
Speaker 2: USS Abraham Lincoln for so long. I remember, these had kids,
5:59
Speaker 2: many of them. Majority of them are only in there,
6:01
Speaker 2: you know, late teens or early twenties. They're kids. It's
6:05
Speaker 2: one thing to be deployed for three months and then
6:07
Speaker 2: you hit a port and you get you know, you
6:09
Speaker 2: blow off some steam for a few a few weeks,
6:11
Speaker 2: and then you go back on the ship and then
6:13
Speaker 2: you work for three months. I mean, that's what you
6:15
Speaker 2: signed up for. But these people, men and women, have
6:19
Speaker 2: been on the ship between two hundred and fifty and
6:21
Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy days, and they haven't even seen
6:24
Speaker 2: a port. They haven't even stopped by a port in months.
6:29
Speaker 2: So they have been literally out to sea with whatever
6:33
Speaker 2: supplies get flown in on helicopters for two hundred and
6:36
Speaker 2: fifty to two hundred and seventy days. Haven't been able
6:39
Speaker 2: to see their families, They've loved ones. You know, you
6:41
Speaker 2: get limited time that you could talk on your phones
6:44
Speaker 2: and whatever. At least they have that, but they get
6:46
Speaker 2: very limited time a lot of times. There's, of course
6:50
Speaker 2: certain things you can't discuss because it's classified, but these
6:54
Speaker 2: people are you know, they signed up for a lot.
6:57
Speaker 2: I get it, but I think they have even more
7:01
Speaker 2: that's been presented to them than they signed up for.
7:04
Speaker 2: So they've been on extended deployment. There are over five
7:07
Speaker 2: thousand sailors and marines on board the USS Abraham Lincoln.
7:12
Speaker 2: The good news is in the next couple of months
7:14
Speaker 2: they're supposed to be relieved. There's another aircraft carrier coming
7:17
Speaker 2: to swap out with them, But Navy Times reported on
7:21
Speaker 2: Tuesday that at least two sailors had to be prevented
7:25
Speaker 2: from jumping overboard. That's how much stress they're under. And
7:29
Speaker 2: there were other family members who spoke to the outlet
7:32
Speaker 2: that said their loved ones were sort of in a
7:34
Speaker 2: deep funk being on board. They just like they wake up.
7:38
Speaker 2: It's the same thing. It's like Groundhog Day every day,
7:41
Speaker 2: the same kind of stress. Don't know when they're coming home,
7:43
Speaker 2: don't know when it's all going to end. Secretary of War, though,
7:46
Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth says the reports are really overblown.
7:50
Speaker 4: Completely misrepresentative.
7:51
Speaker 1: Listen, we make sure at every ship, every crew, every
7:56
Speaker 1: captain has everything we can provide them at every single moment.
8:00
Speaker 1: Some deployments are longer than others, and I have more
8:03
Speaker 1: respect and gratitude for those sailors than anybody. What they
8:09
Speaker 1: do in those high seas and those austere conditions with.
8:12
Speaker 2: Less port calls.
8:13
Speaker 3: It's incredible.
8:14
Speaker 1: Americans don't understand what it's like to do that. So
8:18
Speaker 1: as someone who's he's been not been on a ship
8:21
Speaker 1: like that, but been on long deployments, I feel it.
8:23
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, if there's anyone who does get it,
8:25
Speaker 2: it's Pete hag Seth because he's been in the military.
8:28
Speaker 2: He's spent years in the military so I feel confident
8:31
Speaker 2: knowing somebody like that is in charge because he does
8:35
Speaker 2: get it. He does get it, and the troops love
8:38
Speaker 2: him when he shows up. The sailors, the Marines, the
8:42
Speaker 2: soldiers adore him. They cheer him, they work out with him.
8:45
Speaker 2: They really love the guy because they know that he
8:48
Speaker 2: walked the walk and talked the talk and can actually
8:51
Speaker 2: speak on behalf of them. But enough is enough. And
8:54
Speaker 2: I think a lot of these folks just want to
8:55
Speaker 2: get home, and just not even they're not going to
8:58
Speaker 2: get out of the military. They just want to is it,
9:00
Speaker 2: family and loved ones and spend some time like you
9:02
Speaker 2: would or anyone else would. And I get that. You know,
9:05
Speaker 2: they're not actively in war. We're in a skirmish right
9:08
Speaker 2: now with Iran, and they're there to basically offset or
9:11
Speaker 2: prevent a war from happening. But nonetheless they want to
9:15
Speaker 2: be relieved. So fortunately there will be a swapout for them.
9:19
Speaker 2: But if the reports are true, that's a serious deal.
9:22
Speaker 2: If some of the sailors want that to jump overboard
9:24
Speaker 2: and their lives, that's how much they were impacted by this,
9:27
Speaker 2: then that says something about the conditions on board, and
9:31
Speaker 2: that's something that has to be looked into, and it's
9:33
Speaker 2: valid that we look into that. We owe that to
9:36
Speaker 2: our sailors, our marines, and our soldiers who at our
9:39
Speaker 2: Coast Guard members. By the way, I'm in Space Force.
9:42
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to leave anybody out. When you dedicate
9:45
Speaker 2: a chunk of your life to the military, then the
9:48
Speaker 2: United States has to back you one hundred percent for
9:51
Speaker 2: the rest of your life. And they deserve that. Heck,
9:54
Speaker 2: even I've seen improvements at VA hospitals. My dad is
9:58
Speaker 2: ninety five and a half, God bless them'ming to see
10:00
Speaker 2: today and Dad goes to the VA Hospital in the
10:04
Speaker 2: Bronx because Dad was a Marine, a very proud Marine.
10:06
Speaker 2: He was a sergeant and seprify. And whenever we walk
10:12
Speaker 2: into the VA Hospital in the Bronx, you'd say, oh,
10:15
Speaker 2: if you've never been there, a lot of people probably
10:17
Speaker 2: roll their eyes and think it must be horrible. Just
10:20
Speaker 2: the opposite. One of the best run facilities I have
10:23
Speaker 2: ever seen. Polite, courteous, spotless, They are quick to serve.
10:29
Speaker 2: I walk in with my dad and they run up
10:32
Speaker 2: to them with a wheelchair and they don't know who
10:33
Speaker 2: I am. It's not like it's like a TV or
10:35
Speaker 2: radio thing they run up with a wheelchair. They do
10:38
Speaker 2: it for everybody else too, make sure the person the
10:41
Speaker 2: vet is taken care of. Everything is right there, from
10:45
Speaker 2: their mental health cases to their eyesight, to their hearing,
10:49
Speaker 2: to their general practitioners, x rays, you name it, even
10:55
Speaker 2: people who need prosthetics, eyeglasses. It is literally all under roof.
11:01
Speaker 2: And if there's anybody who learned how to do it right,
11:03
Speaker 2: And it used to be terrible. The VA hospitals used
11:05
Speaker 2: to be awful twenty thirty years ago. They have really
11:08
Speaker 2: flipped around. A lot of that was because of President
11:10
Speaker 2: Trump in his first term hearing about the conditions and
11:14
Speaker 2: demanding the things change, and by his second term those
11:17
Speaker 2: changes were implemented. So it's really nice to see. And
11:20
Speaker 2: I want to do a shout out to all the
11:21
Speaker 2: folks who work at the VIA Hospital in the Bronx
11:24
Speaker 2: and all the VA hospital facilities. I know there's the
11:26
Speaker 2: main one here in Manhattan, there's one upstate, but I
11:31
Speaker 2: just am familiar personally with the one in the Bronx,
11:33
Speaker 2: and I just want to say thank you and a
11:35
Speaker 2: Lord of all the good folks there who work so hard.
11:37
Speaker 2: But just for all our military members, you know, we
11:41
Speaker 2: thank you for what you're doing, and hopefully things aboard
11:43
Speaker 2: the USSA. Braham Lincoln, if there are any challenges, we'll
11:47
Speaker 2: get taken care of as soon as possible. The editor
11:50
Speaker 2: in chief of Navy Times spoke about the publication of
11:55
Speaker 2: this story and stands behind it.
11:57
Speaker 5: Ever since we released that report, we're getting more on
12:00
Speaker 5: feedback from sailors from previous deployments who are just really exhausted.
12:05
Speaker 5: They are exhausted, and they're discussing that more and more
12:07
Speaker 5: with us, because I think that's a narrative that has
12:10
Speaker 5: been suppressed a little bit until now.
12:11
Speaker 2: All Right, so we'll see what happens. And yeah, if
12:14
Speaker 2: the sailors are being and marines aboard the ship are
12:18
Speaker 2: not getting the treatment they should, the proper treatment they should,
12:20
Speaker 2: the food, et cetera, and the care, then we got
12:23
Speaker 2: to deal with that. We're spending a lot of money,
12:25
Speaker 2: your tax dollars in mind, trillions going to the military
12:29
Speaker 2: over the years. So these people, these men and women,
12:32
Speaker 2: deserve the best, the absolute best. Heck, if I could,
12:36
Speaker 2: and we could give them filet mignon every day, if
12:39
Speaker 2: that's what they want, they deserve whatever goodness we could
12:41
Speaker 2: give them for the time that they're dedicating to us
12:44
Speaker 2: eight hundred three to two to one zero seven ten
12:46
Speaker 2: eight hundred three two one zero seven ten Ken Rosotto
12:49
Speaker 2: in seven ten w R. We'd love to hear from
12:52
Speaker 2: you on The Great Marc Simone Show, the new first
12:56
Speaker 2: of three Hours. Hey, do you ever play the lottery?
12:59
Speaker 2: How does a lottery jackpot have to be for you
13:02
Speaker 2: to buy a ticket? I ask, I isy our board
13:06
Speaker 2: up here, but I isy, how high? Is there a
13:08
Speaker 2: point that you will buy a ticket when you normally
13:10
Speaker 2: would not? Five hundred, five hundred million. Okay, that's a
13:15
Speaker 2: good number. I mean I usually if it's anything more
13:19
Speaker 2: than one hundred, I'll buy just one ticket. When it
13:21
Speaker 2: gets to five hundred, I'll buy like three. Not that
13:24
Speaker 2: it really increases your odds. It doesn't. Just in the
13:27
Speaker 2: back of my mind. It's just for confidence sake. And
13:29
Speaker 2: then when it gets to near a billion and I'll
13:32
Speaker 2: start buying. You know, it may only increase it by
13:35
Speaker 2: one billionth of a percent, but whatever, you never know
13:39
Speaker 2: there is it does increase the odds, but just a
13:41
Speaker 2: fraction of a fraction of a percent. Anyway, if you
13:45
Speaker 2: hadn't heard there was one person in Quincy, Illinois, a
13:49
Speaker 2: town of thirty nine thousand people. One person won the
13:53
Speaker 2: one point zero four billion dollar powerball jackpot on Wednesday.
13:58
Speaker 2: How amazing is that hasn't come forward yet, but literally
14:02
Speaker 2: everybody at the High V that's the quickie mart where
14:06
Speaker 2: it was sold. Everybody's buzzing about who might have bought
14:09
Speaker 2: that ticket. I don't know, would you come forward and
14:12
Speaker 2: tell people? Would you keep it secret? Some states allow
14:15
Speaker 2: you to stay anonymous, other states don't. I'm not sure
14:18
Speaker 2: what Illinois case is. And yes, I'm pronouncing the s
14:21
Speaker 2: because it's Illinois apostrophe. That's what how I'm pronouncing it Illinois.
14:26
Speaker 2: I don't know if Illinoi's rules you see how I
14:30
Speaker 2: did that? Have it so that you can be anonymous?
14:33
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but either way, I would be curious
14:36
Speaker 2: to see who the next billionaire is. I guess after
14:39
Speaker 2: tax isn't taking the cash option. It's a little over
14:42
Speaker 2: four hundred minion. I believe, yeah, you can make something
14:45
Speaker 2: happen with that. But I'm just curious. Give us a call,
14:48
Speaker 2: let us know. Is there a point at which you
14:50
Speaker 2: buy a ticket and a point under which you will
14:53
Speaker 2: not Just curious to see what The answer is to
14:56
Speaker 2: that eight hundred three to two one zero seven wor
15:01
Speaker 2: the Voice of New York. It is Ken Rizettowin from
15:03
Speaker 2: Mark Simon on a Friday. And for those who did
15:05
Speaker 2: not hear, President Trump is coming to Nassau County today.
15:08
Speaker 2: He's going to help rally support for Nasau County Exect
15:11
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman's run for governor, and the President says he's
15:14
Speaker 2: also coming to honor the local police.
15:17
Speaker 4: The President has indicated an interest in coming to honor
15:21
Speaker 4: the people of law enforcement here in Nasau County. Nasau
15:24
Speaker 4: County backs the Blue.
15:26
Speaker 2: That is Bruce Blakeman running for governor. And he also
15:29
Speaker 2: talked about how his county's police departments have worked successfully
15:34
Speaker 2: with ICE agents up to this point.
15:36
Speaker 4: We did it without raiding one church, one school, one business,
15:41
Speaker 4: one daycare center. It was very orderly.
15:45
Speaker 2: Well, there is a deal. Now. See, you have the
15:47
Speaker 2: governor of the state of New York who is being
15:50
Speaker 2: pressured by the liberal leftists like Mayor Mom Donnie to
15:54
Speaker 2: tell the police departments around the state that you can
15:58
Speaker 2: have absolutely no interaction with ICE. Now of course they
16:03
Speaker 2: say right away, well, if there's something criminal, then they
16:05
Speaker 2: could have an interaction. Yeah, it's frowned upon, and it
16:09
Speaker 2: has to basically be proven up and down that they
16:12
Speaker 2: had no choice but to go to ICE because of
16:14
Speaker 2: a criminal situation. But these police officers, believe me, they
16:18
Speaker 2: would love to report everybody who is here illegally, whom
16:22
Speaker 2: they know is here illegally, to ICE, but they are forbidden.
16:25
Speaker 2: Why are we going out of our way to protect
16:28
Speaker 2: people who have committed a crime. If you're in this
16:32
Speaker 2: country illegally, think about it. It's called illegal alien, whether
16:36
Speaker 2: you like the term or not. If you're in the
16:38
Speaker 2: country illegally, then let police do their job. Now, you'll say,
16:43
Speaker 2: but Ken, that's a federal crime. Well, guess what. Kidnapping
16:46
Speaker 2: is a federal crime, yet you allow local police arrest
16:49
Speaker 2: people for that. Bank robbery is a federal crime. Counterfeiting
16:53
Speaker 2: is a federal crime. Transporting people illegally across state lines,
16:58
Speaker 2: sex trafficking, these are all federal crime. But yet you
17:01
Speaker 2: allow the police to have interaction with ICE or with
17:04
Speaker 2: federal agents on FBI, etc. On those cases. But yet
17:08
Speaker 2: you won't let them have any kind of interaction with
17:11
Speaker 2: federal agents when it comes to illegal aliens. Hm, let's
17:15
Speaker 2: scratch your head and wonder why, mayhaps because you hope
17:18
Speaker 2: they will be future Democrat voters, or, in the case
17:20
Speaker 2: of New Jersey, current Democrat voters, because they voted illegally.
17:23
Speaker 2: And we know that hundreds have voted illegally in New
17:27
Speaker 2: Jersey who should not have, and thousands upon thousands have
17:30
Speaker 2: registered to vote illegally who should not have. Hmm, do
17:34
Speaker 2: you think maybe that has a little something to do
17:35
Speaker 2: with it. I guarantee if the people who come here
17:39
Speaker 2: illegally could prove that they were going to vote Republican,
17:43
Speaker 2: Democrats would erect a five hundred foot wall all around
17:47
Speaker 2: the country that would blot out the sun because they
17:50
Speaker 2: wouldn't want them here. But because they think these people
17:53
Speaker 2: are all going to be Democrat voters in the present
17:56
Speaker 2: or near future. This is why they are very happy
18:00
Speaker 2: to do everything they can to support and defend them. Hey,
