Speaker 1: with you on Memorial Day. Mark off today hopefully enjoying

Speaker 1: his day, spending time with family and friends, enjoying the
0:15
Speaker 1: freedoms that somebody fought and died for. We hope the
0:18
Speaker 1: same two that you are enjoying time with your family
0:21
Speaker 1: and friends. But remember that this is why our vets
0:24
Speaker 1: who lost their lives defending our country did so so
0:26
Speaker 1: that we don't have to worry about being attacked, that
0:29
Speaker 1: we could enjoy our time with family and friends. But
0:32
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean we should forget them. Always take a moment,
0:35
Speaker 1: especially on a day like this, to lift a toast,
0:39
Speaker 1: or to say thank you, or say a prayer, or
0:42
Speaker 1: just a moment of silence anything. Put out a flag today,
0:46
Speaker 1: or approach a vet, Do something to show your gratitude
0:50
Speaker 1: toward or for those people who fought and died for us,
0:53
Speaker 1: or who died in training, or who died after they
0:56
Speaker 1: got back from war because of exposure to a chemical
0:59
Speaker 1: or something. These people really gave it all. I mean
1:03
Speaker 1: we say gave it all for a lot of things.
1:05
Speaker 1: They truly gave it all, and we thank all those
1:07
Speaker 1: people who sacrificed the ultimate sacrifice so that we can

1:24
Speaker 1: those who don't remember, I used to be on Channel

1:32
Speaker 1: at Channel seven, and then I was also a Channel five.
1:35
Speaker 1: I anchored Good Day New York for a while before then.
1:38
Speaker 1: These days am on on New Jersey, which is a
1:41
Speaker 1: New Jersey news channel statewide, and you could get catch

Speaker 1: ONNJ dot com. And I'm there every day. So it's
1:55
Speaker 1: always nice to come over back over the Hudson River
1:57
Speaker 1: though into Manhattan to hosts the Marx Simone Show for
2:01
Speaker 1: the Great Mark Simone at seven ten woor. Anyway, we
2:05
Speaker 1: want to pass on that. We will take your calls
2:08
Speaker 1: at eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten,
2:10
Speaker 1: eight hundred three to two to one zero seven ten.
2:14
Speaker 1: For those who are thinking about a summer vacation and
2:17
Speaker 1: you were thinking about jet setting off to Europe, well
2:21
Speaker 1: you might want to keep those fingers crossed because of
2:23
Speaker 1: what is going on in terms of fuel right now
2:26
Speaker 1: around the world. Yes, we have tons of fuel here
2:29
Speaker 1: in the United States. We're producing more than enough. In fact,
2:32
Speaker 1: we are a net exporter of oil and fuel because
2:37
Speaker 1: President Trump has taken off the the what's the word
2:41
Speaker 1: I'm looking for, He's basically gotten rid of a lot
2:44
Speaker 1: of the environmental restrictions. If you will that, yes, thank you,
2:50
Speaker 1: crash our yarsid you mean take the gloves off. Can yes,
2:53
Speaker 1: thank you crash crash out his coffee. I didn't. And
2:56
Speaker 1: so as a result, we have an abundance of fuel,
2:59
Speaker 1: which is kept oil prices in check here. But I
3:02
Speaker 1: know because of what's going out of the Strait of
3:04
Speaker 1: hor moves with Iran, prices have come up, but they've
3:07
Speaker 1: come up a lot more. I don't mean to juggle
3:09
Speaker 1: like we have nothing. We're paying nothing compared to what
3:11
Speaker 1: that paying in Europe right now because the cost of
3:13
Speaker 1: oil there is so high. Remember Russia, China, and much
3:16
Speaker 1: of Europe gets a lot of its oil from the
3:20
Speaker 1: area that is the straight of horror moves. And right
3:23
Speaker 1: now fuel prices are very high. Well for jets, they
3:26
Speaker 1: require that jet fuel, and right now there is a
3:30
Speaker 1: major shortage in Europe of jet fuels. So you can
3:34
Speaker 1: get jet fuel here, tons of it. We have an
3:36
Speaker 1: ample supply. Problem is once the jet flies to Europe,
3:39
Speaker 1: it has to fly back right so it doesn't have
3:42
Speaker 1: an available supply. So there are many airlines, many of
3:46
Speaker 1: the biggies have canceled flights coming from Europe back to
3:51
Speaker 1: the United States. So if you are looking to fly
3:54
Speaker 1: around trip, not be able to get there and can't
3:55
Speaker 1: get back. If you're looking to fly around trip, just
3:58
Speaker 1: check with your carrier. They started in the past week
4:01
Speaker 1: or so canceling a lot of European flights or not
4:05
Speaker 1: flying to certain destinations. You might win tozz check ahead,
4:08
Speaker 1: or have a contingency plan, or hopefully you have a
4:11
Speaker 1: flight insurance or travel insurance and you make sure that
4:14
Speaker 1: you're backed up. Although now I'm reading that many of
4:17
Speaker 1: the travel insurance companies do not account for something that
4:21
Speaker 1: is out of their control, like a shortage of jet fuel,
4:25
Speaker 1: so they may or may not cover you for that.
4:27
Speaker 1: So even then, if you're going to buy flight insurance
4:30
Speaker 1: or travel insurance, make sure that something like a flight
4:33
Speaker 1: being canceled due to jet fuel shortages that is covered.
4:37
Speaker 1: But we hope you enjoy your summer one way or
4:39
Speaker 1: the other. Remember there are plenty of good places right
4:41
Speaker 1: here in the US. Think back five years during the pandemic.
4:46
Speaker 1: I remember we were supposed to fly to Portugal and
4:50
Speaker 1: we couldn't because we would have been quarantined in Portugal
4:55
Speaker 1: for two weeks. And that was my vacation time was
4:57
Speaker 1: two weeks. So what would the point of bit You
4:59
Speaker 1: fly for two weeks in quarantine, you come back. So
5:02
Speaker 1: we decided to do a bunch of regional trips and
5:05
Speaker 1: I'm glad we did. We went to Newport, Rhode Island.
5:08
Speaker 1: I have never been. It was phenomenal, just a beautiful
5:11
Speaker 1: place to go to and it's driving distance. You can
5:14
Speaker 1: go to so many places in Pennsylvania that are just gorgeous.
5:17
Speaker 1: The Lakes, go upstate New York, there are beautiful places
5:21
Speaker 1: go to, like George is If you've never been. It's gorgeous.
5:25
Speaker 1: Go out to Montauku. There are some wonderful places all
5:29
Speaker 1: within driving distance of here. Go down the Jersey Shore,
5:33
Speaker 1: go to the mountains, the mountains northwestern New Jersey. You think, well,
5:37
Speaker 1: that's great for the winter, ken it's wonderful. In the summer,
5:41
Speaker 1: it's terrific. There are amusement parks there and everything. So
5:44
Speaker 1: there are plenty of places you could drive to within
5:46
Speaker 1: a couple of hours and have a wonderful time. In
5:49
Speaker 1: the event that your jet to Europe, your flight to
5:52
Speaker 1: Europe is canceled because of fuel situations right now presenting themselves,
5:57
Speaker 1: the fingers crossed that President Trump is hoping maybe in
6:01
Speaker 1: the next few days, we will have some kind of
6:03
Speaker 1: resolution in Iran. But one thing that is good about
6:06
Speaker 1: this president is he is not just going to settle
6:08
Speaker 1: for something. He wants the right deal, or else there
6:11
Speaker 1: will be no deal. He's made that amply clear. Seven
6:14
Speaker 1: ten w R the Voice of New York. If you
6:16
Speaker 1: want to give us a call, the numbers eight hundred
6:18
Speaker 1: and three to two one zero seven ten. Well, we
6:21
Speaker 1: have the funniest butt kisser of a politician whoever existed.
6:25
Speaker 1: It seems in the state of New York. Kathy hokel
6:27
Speaker 1: O katijokol As reluct to say, I know, I'm sorry.
6:30
Speaker 1: I shouldn't making fun of those awful caps that she has,
6:33
Speaker 1: but I can't help myself because I'm a I'm a
6:35
Speaker 1: very bad Catholic when it comes to that. Sorry, Kathy,
6:39
Speaker 1: it's like she had a two for two for one.
6:41
Speaker 1: I get both front teeth of the same fifty dollars
6:43
Speaker 1: from the dentist on the corner in Buffalo. The good
6:46
Speaker 1: Governors decided that she would codify that which already unofficially
6:50
Speaker 1: exists throughout the state and has for years, and that
6:53
Speaker 1: is that New York is now officially and publicly a
6:56
Speaker 1: sanctuary state. Before they said, oh, we're not a sanctuary state,
7:00
Speaker 1: even though we followed all the sanctuary policies, and that
7:02
Speaker 1: law enforcement couldn't reach out to federal law enforcement because
7:07
Speaker 1: of people who are here illegally. Now, I ask you, o,
7:11
Speaker 1: fellow taxpayer New Yorker, and yes, I am a fellow
7:14
Speaker 1: taxpayer New Yorker, even though I live in New Jersey,
7:16
Speaker 1: because when you work in New York City, you have
7:18
Speaker 1: to pay city taxes and state taxes, even if you
7:21
Speaker 1: don't live here. What benefit to you and the state
7:25
Speaker 1: of New York is there by officially mandating that New
7:29
Speaker 1: York be a sanctuary state. When you elect somebody governor,
7:34
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be the person you elect to benefit
7:36
Speaker 1: you and your family. All Right, You work hard, you
7:39
Speaker 1: pay taxes, and then they take your money, your tax money,
7:43
Speaker 1: and they give it to people who shouldn't even be
7:45
Speaker 1: here legally. They're not here legally. That is so, why
7:49
Speaker 1: why would you keep voting for these people? What is
7:52
Speaker 1: the point? And again to what benefit? How does it
7:57
Speaker 1: benefit the state that you would elect somebody who would
8:00
Speaker 1: create a sanctuary state status in New York. I want
8:04
Speaker 1: you to think about what it means to have millions
8:08
Speaker 1: of illegal migrants in the state of New York. And
8:11
Speaker 1: by the way, I am not against people who come
8:13
Speaker 1: from another country. That is perfect. That is fine. There
8:16
Speaker 1: is a legal process to do it. But ken the
8:19
Speaker 1: migration system is broken. No, it is not. It's only
8:23
Speaker 1: broken for those of you who want people to come
8:26
Speaker 1: in illegally and vote Democrat, then it's broken because you
8:29
Speaker 1: want twenty thirty million more like you got under the
8:31
Speaker 1: Biden administration. For those of us who want it done
8:34
Speaker 1: fairly where you come in in limited numbers, so you
8:38
Speaker 1: can properly incorporate into society, or be incorporated in our
8:42
Speaker 1: society and become a successful and happy American for those
8:47
Speaker 1: of us who want it the way it is legal,
8:50
Speaker 1: So we could do so to the tune of one,
8:52
Speaker 1: two or three million a year, which is what we allow.
8:55
Speaker 1: You know that we allow more people to become citizens
8:58
Speaker 1: of the United States every year than every other single
9:03
Speaker 1: country on the planet combined. So what I hear, Oh,
9:07
Speaker 1: it's a broken immigration system. There is nothing broken. We
9:10
Speaker 1: are extremely generous, more generous than anyone and everyone else combined.
9:15
Speaker 1: So we allow millions in through the legal process in
9:19
Speaker 1: this country every year, and you just have to follow
9:22
Speaker 1: the process. Can we allow everybody on the planet who
9:25
Speaker 1: wants to come in? Seven billion people? Know? As the
9:29
Speaker 1: people on the left left to say, it's unsustainable, and
9:33
Speaker 1: it is unsustainable. We only have a limited amount of space,
9:36
Speaker 1: and our economy would collapse if we let everyone wants
9:39
Speaker 1: to be here to come in. Makes me a laugh
9:42
Speaker 1: of all the people protesting who hate this country so much,
9:45
Speaker 1: and yet somehow millions of people are breaking down the
9:47
Speaker 1: doors to come in every year. Why don't we swap.
9:50
Speaker 1: Why don't you go to Lithuania or Italy or Botswana
9:53
Speaker 1: or wherever else these people are coming in from, And
9:56
Speaker 1: why don't you go there swap because you don't want
9:58
Speaker 1: to be here. Go ahead, go over and see how
10:01
Speaker 1: you like you know whatever, Southern googuz yeah, wherever, go
10:05
Speaker 1: see how you like it. And then come back after
10:07
Speaker 1: a year and write a little report on what it's
10:09
Speaker 1: like not to be able to earn a living or
10:13
Speaker 1: be able to speak publicly or post something on social
10:15
Speaker 1: media and getting arrested and having somebody knock down your
10:18
Speaker 1: door because you're gay or bisexual or lives with somebody
10:21
Speaker 1: unmarried or whatever. You got to do that and come
10:24
Speaker 1: back and let us know how you like it. Seven
10:26
Speaker 1: to ten wor the Voice of New York. Something that
10:28
Speaker 1: was brought up to me that I didn't even realize.
10:32
Speaker 1: Think about this state of New Jersey as nine million residents,
10:36
Speaker 1: nearly a million additional people are there illegally. So think
10:42
Speaker 1: about that number, Like twelve percent of the state right
10:44
Speaker 1: now is there illegally, which is just obscene, an obscene number. Okay,
10:50
Speaker 1: here's what it does to the environment when you have
10:54
Speaker 1: twelve percent of the people just piled in who shouldn't
10:58
Speaker 1: be there, who were unaccounted for or in the beginning,
11:01
Speaker 1: so we did not build an infrastructure for them. We
11:04
Speaker 1: didn't create the extra classroom spaces for them. So all
11:08
Speaker 1: the liberals in the nineties and the year the early
11:11
Speaker 1: two thousands, of late eighties, all we heard from the
11:13
Speaker 1: school unions, etc. The teachers' unions, is in order to
11:17
Speaker 1: have an effective classroom size, you need you need no
11:20
Speaker 1: more than twelve to fifteen students per teacher. Then we
11:23
Speaker 1: can have an effective classroom size. But it's okay. Those
11:26
Speaker 1: same liberals don't mind when fifteen other kids come in
11:30
Speaker 1: who were here illegally. That's okay. Then they don't complain.
11:33
Speaker 1: So suddenly the classroom is back up to thirty kids
11:36
Speaker 1: because fifteen unaccounted for illegal kids have come in and
11:40
Speaker 1: by law, we have to educate them. And I'm fine
11:43
Speaker 1: with that. But all of a sudden, you have thirty
11:46
Speaker 1: kids in a classroom. We're back to where we were before.
11:49
Speaker 1: So now we don't have the ability to have the
11:51
Speaker 1: attention focused on twelve to fifteen kids. Not only do
11:54
Speaker 1: we now have thirty kids jammed in a classroom, but
11:56
Speaker 1: now they're multi lingual, so the teacher can't focus on
12:01
Speaker 1: just teaching things in English. Now we have to have
12:03
Speaker 1: teachers who speak different languages, who cost these schools, the
12:07
Speaker 1: school system way more money because they have to speak
12:10
Speaker 1: other languages to kids who come here. This is how
12:13
Speaker 1: it impacts society. What do we end up doing when
12:15
Speaker 1: we have millions of extra people jamming the streets of
12:18
Speaker 1: New York. Oh, let's just charge congestion pricing to everybody else.
12:22
Speaker 1: So now I have to pay extra money because you
12:25
Speaker 1: lawmakers have turned a blind eye and allowed all these
12:29
Speaker 1: people who are here illegally to continue being here crimes
12:32
Speaker 1: being committed. Oh, by the way, that's one of my
12:33
Speaker 1: other favorites. My Democrat lawmaker friends say, Ken, it is
12:36
Speaker 1: a fact. It is a fact that illegal migrants as
12:40
Speaker 1: you like to call them, and nobody is illegal. Ken,
12:44
Speaker 1: illegal migrants cause fewer crimes than citizens. Bull. And here's
12:50
Speaker 1: why it's bull. Do you know, in the city of
12:52
Speaker 1: New York, it is against the law for law enforcement
12:55
Speaker 1: to inquire as to somebody's citizenship status. So if you
12:59
Speaker 1: can't even ask if they're here illegally, and somebody commits
13:02
Speaker 1: a crime, how do you know if they're here illegally
13:05
Speaker 1: or not. You don't, right, so police arrest you for
13:08
Speaker 1: committing a crime, you are forbidden by law from asking
13:13
Speaker 1: what is your citizenship status. So when you file a
13:16
Speaker 1: report on that individual who committed the crime, there's no
13:19
Speaker 1: way of knowing if they're a citizen or not. So
13:22
Speaker 1: these statistics are skewed because they love to say, then, hey,
13:26
Speaker 1: all these people who committed crimes, they're all Americans because
13:29
Speaker 1: we don't know that they're illegal. We don't know that
13:31
Speaker 1: they're illegal because the people on the left on purpose
13:35
Speaker 1: do not ask and do not permit us to ask
13:38
Speaker 1: if they're here illegally or not, because then their cover
13:40
Speaker 1: would be blown. That's the game being played by the
13:43
Speaker 1: left right now, and this has been played for years.
13:45
Speaker 1: They play with these statistics. Just like Alvin Bragg comes
13:49
Speaker 1: into office and says he refuses to prosecute these two
13:52
Speaker 1: hundred crimes that are on the books that are passed
13:54
Speaker 1: by lawmakers as illegal. Well, he's not going to prosecute
13:57
Speaker 1: it because he feels that people in the black and
14:00
Speaker 1: brown community were unfairly targeted in those laws. But what
14:05
Speaker 1: ends up happening is the next year he says crime
14:07
Speaker 1: is down. No, crime isn't down. You just refuse to
14:10
Speaker 1: prosecute these two hundred crimes air go. Crime looks down
14:14
Speaker 1: on paper, but crime is up in many cases, especially
14:17
Speaker 1: serious crime and crime involving injuring other people are killing
14:20
Speaker 1: other people. That's actually gone up, but it gets reported differently.
14:24
Speaker 1: And so we end up having these liberal politicians saying,
14:27
Speaker 1: look at us, you'relect Democrats, and look, crime is down.
14:30
Speaker 1: It's a nice game, guys, but we're on to you now,
14:33
Speaker 1: all right, we're on to you. So you may have
14:36
Speaker 1: fooled some people at this point, but you're not fooling
14:38
Speaker 1: all people. Come out with the real statistics. Talk to
14:41
Speaker 1: the rank and file police officers on the street. You
14:43
Speaker 1: know that crime is knocked down in the city of
14:45
Speaker 1: New York, but it's just funny that in the sanctuary
14:48
Speaker 1: cities and states it always appears on paper crime is down.
14:50
Speaker 1: Then do a little analyzing, you'll find out that the
14:53
Speaker 1: very people who say the crime is down are the
14:56
Speaker 1: people who are covering for the people here Illegally. You
14:59
Speaker 1: cannot increase the population by twelve percent overnight like they
15:02
Speaker 1: have in the state of New Jersey and have everything
15:05
Speaker 1: goes smoothly. Buildings that were meant to have two people
15:08
Speaker 1: per apartments suddenly having twelve people per apartment, and the
15:11
Speaker 1: plumbing and the electrical and everything else. The water supply
15:14
Speaker 1: was not meant to handle that huge influx of population.
15:18
Speaker 1: So it's not just about not being nice to the immigrants. Ken,
15:21
Speaker 1: you're not nice to the immigrants. Everything collapses if you
15:25
Speaker 1: don't do it right, If you don't allow people in
15:27
Speaker 1: the right and legal way, everything will collapse. So you
15:31
Speaker 1: can have legal migration in this country, but you got
15:34
Speaker 1: to do it the right way. Seven ten wr the
15:37
