• 0:05
  Speaker 1: in for Mark, here's Ken Rosatto's so good to be
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: with you on a Friday. It is a beautiful Friday
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and the beginning of a gorgeous, gorgeous weekend. If you
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: didn't make any plans this weekend, now's the time to
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: do it. I think a lot of people have gotten
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: out of Dodge already because driving in today from New
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Jersey and I'm in the middle of moving from northern
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: New Jersey to central New Jersey. I drove in for
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the first time from middle, the middle part of the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: state of New Jersey, thinking, oh, it's going to take
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: me at least an hour forty hour, forty five minutes.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I got here so early I don't know. I mean
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the overnight crew is still here when I got in.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: That's how early I got it. There was no traffic. Now,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of course I've jinxed myself for the next time I
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: got to come in. But it was a lovely ride.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: And Manhattan when it's not congested is one of the
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: most beautiful places you could be. Just the fresh area.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: You hear the birds chirping, well, the few birds, just
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: two of them, they're they only chirp their union birds.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: They chirped from like eight am to eight oh five,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and then they get relieved. That's a whole Then you
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: got the understudy birds who come on and they're part
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: of sag after. But that's a whole other story. But
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: it's just such a beautiful morning to be around New
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: York City and hope you get the opportunities sometime. It
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: is still the greatest city in the country and in
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the world, no matter the crazy is running it right now.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: This is Ken rozanto In And yes, I was the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: news anchor Channel seven for a full twenty years. I
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: anchored the morning news there three and a half hours
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a day. We did the two and a half hour
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: morning show and then we did a noon show for
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a while. A good chunk of those years it was great,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of good times here Channel seven. It's a
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: TV in general is different today. It's not what it
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: was when I was there, And even when I was there,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it wasn't what it was during the days of Roger
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Grimsby and Bill bu Teil. That was a whole other
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: era that was it'll never be duplicated. When that was
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: when TV rained in cities like New York, and you
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: couldn't even walk out of the building without one hundred
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: people mobbing you. When I started, I guess anchoring, there
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: was still there was still you know, you came out,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you walk down the street, people recognize you. Today, people
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: just aren't watching anymore. They're looking at their phones. They
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: get their news, they just don't watch what we call
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: linear broadcast television, where you know that a newscast comes
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: on at noon, Let me rush to the TV and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: watch that newscast. You ask one hundred people, you might
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: find one or two say yes, I have it on,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: probably because they're home recovering from surgery or something and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: they happen to have the TV and at that time,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: otherwise it just isn't happening. And what we're hearing and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: reading is layoffs at the different stations and networks, one
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: after another. I know a lot of people say, ah,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I don't feel bad for them, they make a lot
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of money. Well, you'd be surprised. TV people don't make
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: what they used to make. Not that they're making terrible money,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: but you know, back in the day they used to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: make you had the anchors, the big time anchors, not
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: me wasn't the big time anchor, but the big time
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: akers used to pull into the two to three million
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: dollar range. You don't You will not find a local
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: news anchor in America with that kind of income. Today
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: they don't make anywhere near that, and it's going down
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and down as advertising revenues for TV continues to shrink.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: We could talk about that if you want to ask,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I could. I could tell what I'm allowed to tell that.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: It's non contractual. But you give us a call at
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten. But
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: damn people love to They always confront me and say, hey, well,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Channel seven, what was it like? It was terrible? About No,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Channel seven was awesome. I had twenty of the most
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: unbelievably wonderful years. I don't have a negative thought or
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: feeling of my years at seven, or my years at five,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: my year at five, I was there thirteen months. Just
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I wish everyone in their lifetime can get a run
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: with such joy as I had during that time. You know.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: But yet I'm enjoying my life very much. Now. What
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: am I doing these days, aside from getting the luxury
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and honor of filling in for the best talk show
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: host on the Planet Mark Simone. When I'm not doing this,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I am hosting a morning show in New Jersey as
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a channel called on New Jersey ONNJ dot com. You
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: can stream it from anywhere. And I get to do
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that show out of my house. I have a full
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: studio built in the basement, and my commute is exactly
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: twenty six seconds. I've timed it, and I'm wearing shorts
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: from the waist down and I'm wearing a suit from
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the waist up. And that's the way I do the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: show every day, take phone calls and everything. It's just
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun doing doing it, doing something the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: way I always kind of dreamed of doing it, and
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: doing that on a daily basis is just a joy.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: But someday you check us out there. Otherwise we want
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you to stay glued right here seven ten wor again
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the number is eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Well,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: if you listen to Curtis and Larry this morning, they
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: talked about what happened yesterday on the Upper west Side.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: If you weren't privy to it, Madison, actually I'm now
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: mixing two stories. What happened on the Upper west Side
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: was the stabbing. A guy goes on a stabbing spree,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and this happened yesterday midday. Apparently a fifty one year
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: old security guard. According to the NYPD, his name was
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Raoul Morales. He lives on the Upper West and police
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: say he stabbed to men, first of fifty seven year
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: old Asian man, then a fifty year old Jewish man
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: who was wearing a Yamaica. And that's important. These are
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: two separate, unprovoked attacks. Why was it important that I
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: mentioned this? Well, if you are going to perpetrate a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: hate crime, an Asian man would be evidently Asian, Hey
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I'm mixing up my words here, Asian by virtue of
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: their looks. And a Jewish man you would assume is
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: evidently Jewish by virtue of the Yamaica. And based on
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: those facts, police say they will be charging this man
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: with a hate crime. He allegedly approached the two of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: them unprovoked, stabbed each and screamed in each case Allahu akbar.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Now does that mean he's Muzzlim? Maybe not. We don't know.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: We have no idea. He could be mentally unstable, and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that's what is apparently the case. So right now, there
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: if he's not muzzled. They're Muslim saying, see, you blame us,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and this guy has nothing to do with us. He's
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: just a nut shouting out Allahu Akbar. We don't know.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: He may be muszling, he may not be. We're just
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: telling you that that's what he shouted out based on
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: what witnesses say. But he may be mentally unstable, and
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: that's what's being investigated. But he then went and barricaded
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: himself in his apartment. NYPD says they went and arrested
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: him and may charge him with hate crimes. But now
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you have Jewish leaders in New York, and I believe
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: rightfully so blasting Mayor Mom Donnie after the stabbings, demanding
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: hate crime charges. Don't just look into it, do it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And they're saying, stop fanning the flames of hatred and division.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: So when you hear Mom Donnie speaking anti Netan, Yahoo,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: anti Israel, pro pro Islam and pro Gaza, etc. Pro Palestine,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: over and over again and from the river to the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: sea and all of that, you know this is only
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: going to foster, especially people right on the edge who
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: are mentally unstable or ride at the pivot point. You're
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: gonna push him over, and we again, we don't know
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: if that's the case here, but it sure sec looks
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: like it could be. So we'd like to know what
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: you have to say about that. Eight hundred three two
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: one zero seven ten. Eight hundred three two one zero
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: seven ten. Another big story that happened, of course, Madison,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin cop or rather Madison, Wisconsin, have stopped a man
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: named Corey Durell Ruiz who stabbed a cop break into
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: cars while trying to get away. He was shot dead
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: by police. The video that they are showing is from
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: people standing around at different angles, so it doesn't show
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the whole picture, if you will. Police shot him dead
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: after he allegedly stabbed a cop. So now the question
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: is this should be this should be opening shot, right,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: you stab a cop, you get shot dead. All right,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: case closed. But you have people screaming that the police
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: are hunting down people of color and that if you
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: are a black person, you are going to get killed
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: by police. Well, going over a little statistic here, do
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: you know how many black people versus white people were
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: killed by police last year? I'm waiting, come on, somebody
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: tell me, okay. Two hundred and fifty black people were
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: killed by police last year. Do you know how many
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: white people were killed by police last year? Six hundred eighty.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So two hundred and fifty black people were killed by police,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: six hundred eighty white people were killed by police. Does
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: that tell you that the police go out there in
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the morning, they wake up, Hey, honey, yeah, I'm going
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: out to shoot somebody who is black, or I'm going
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: out to shoot somebody who is white. Maybe they don't
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: want to shoot anybody. Maybe they're getting up in the morning.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: They just want to do their job and come home
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: to their families at the end of the day. Here's
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the deal. If you stab a cop, he's gonna shoot you.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: And if you think he's not going to shoot you,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: then somebody has not taught you correctly, all right, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a cop? Why should anybody stand there and allow themselves
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to become victimized by you. It doesn't matter what color
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: you are, it doesn't matter where you live or where
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you are socioeconomically. You don't stab a person, and you
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: certainly don't stab a cop. And if you do and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you get shot, well, you know what whose fault is that?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but you have to scratch your head and think,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: what are we doing in society? What are we doing
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: in schools? How are we raising people to think that
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: that's acceptable, and that what a cop, usually not making
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a whole hell of a lot of money, should stand
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: there and stabbed and not respond. What's wrong with anybody?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: How crazy is society that there are now people supporting
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the deceased in this case, this young man or I
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: say young man because I'm almost sixty, this Cory Durell Ruiz,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: who is thirty eight, who, by the way, has a
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: record of forty arrests. Hey, whatever happened to three strikes?
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: You're out? You know. But this is in liberal Madison, Wisconsin,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: one of the most liberal progressive cities in America, all right,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: And this is in a state where you have a
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: guy who you know, mister happy pants, who ran for
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: vice president and thankfully lost. But this is craziness. How
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: on earth did the Tim Walls I'm referring to for
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: those who are saying, who's he talking about? Happy pats?
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: How on earth do you have a society where anyone
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: thinks it's okay to stab a cop and thinks a
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: cop shouldn't respond. They not only respond as a human being,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: but as a police officer, and they need to neutralize
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: that threat from injuring anybody else. And the fact that
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: anyone is rushing to the defense of this, you know
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: this is this is the wrong hill to die on, folks,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: because you're not going to get the sympathy of a
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: lot of Americans, and people are not going to tolerate
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: another BLM summer from like six years ago. Ain't gonna happen.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: So you want to go ahead and protest and threaten
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to burn down cities. Al Sharpton, you want to go
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: out there and do that, go right ahead. Methinks you're
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: not going to get the sympathy of a lot of
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Americans in this case, especially when you have a guy
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: with an arrest record like he does who stabbed a cop.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: You're not going to get a lot of sympathy if
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the cops shot him. So you go ahead and try it.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: It'll last about a day or two, but I think
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: it's going to end after that. What do you have
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to say about it? At eight hundred and three to
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten, The problem is today you
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: have the PAI bought and paid for left wing agitator
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: professional protester class paid for by groups like you know,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Soros backed groups. And I know it sounds like we
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: always cite the boogeyman when we talk about George Soros,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: but it's true. The man is one of several liberal
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: groups responsible for paying these protesters. These people come out,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: they're the same people you could go online. There are
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a couple of people on YouTube who make it a
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: point showing video from different protests around the country, all
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: different causes they're protesting for and against, and you will
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: see the same faces time and time and time again.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I mean literally, this guy has he'll show a montage
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: of twenty different I don't want to promote a specific
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: YouTube channel. That's why I'm not saying his name. He's
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: a young man, probably in his twenties, and he shows
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: montages of like ten, fifteen, twenty different protests, same couple
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of people in every protest, and usually they're the leaders,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the head of agitators. And if he pulls people aside
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and ask have you been paid for this? And they
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: start to answer, then right away the organizers pull them
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: away and don't let them answer the question, try to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: force out the interviewer. It's a joke, you know, But
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the problem is mainstream media doesn't want to take that
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: extra step to confirming that these are legitimate protesters, and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: it just is good television to show a bunch of people,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: show a tight shots to make it look like there's
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: tens of thousands of people when it might be fifty
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: or one hundred protesting. I mean, hey, I had on
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: this show when I was filling in for Mark Simon.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I had one of the rent to protester people on
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the show, a guy who makes his living hiring people
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to go out and show up at protests. He pays
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: them hundreds of dollars a day. That's not a bad idea.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Actually he pays them hundreds of Now, one thing he
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: always says is I don't hire people who don't agree
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: with the protest just to go protest and make the money.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: They have to agree with it, and then they want
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: to protest and then I'll pay them. They don't get
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: their money until they actually complete the protests. He shows
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: up any videotapes. But the fact is this is paid
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: it is not organic. And the mass mass media sadly
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: does not do their jobs. They are negligent in their
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: duties when they don't show you and tell you that
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the vast majority of the people protesting are not organic.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: They didn't just join because they were upset. They were
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: paid and it was organized. All right, there you go.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: It's seven ten, wore the Voice of New York. This
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: is Ken Rozotto, former TV news anchor, actually still current
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: if you count New Jersey, and I am reporting for
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: duty for the Great Mark Simone will take your calls
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: at eight hundred and three to two, one zero seven ten.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Coming up in just a little bit, we're going to
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: talk to Brent Johnson, the politics reporter for NJ Advanced Media.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: They own NJ dot com, the New York Star Ledger,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: so he will be here to talk about Governor Mikey
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Cheryl and her recent admission that at least sixty six
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: hundred illegal aliens were in fact registered to vote, and
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: that at least four hundred actually did vote in local
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and federal elections in twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: But I thought the Democrats said that never happens. Your
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: calls are next, though, eight hundred three to two one
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten. It is eleven twenty one seven ten.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Wor were coming right back
