0:15
Speaker 2: for duty as I stand and salute you all, fellow
0:18
Speaker 2: lover of seven to ten wor and certainly big time
0:21
Speaker 2: lover of the Mark Simone Show, my favorite darn radio

Speaker 2: show ever. I listen every single day, and it's good
0:28
Speaker 2: to be here sitting in for the great Mark Simone,
0:30
Speaker 2: the winner of the Big Barrett Media Award. Congratulations again,
0:34
Speaker 2: mister Simone. Sir, you probably best remember me from the
0:37
Speaker 2: twenty years that I spent anchoring the Morning Show, and
0:40
Speaker 2: a good chunk of those years the Noon Show two
0:42
Speaker 2: over Channel seven. I did Good Day New York at
0:45
Speaker 2: Channel five before that, just a lot of good years
0:47
Speaker 2: in New York TV. These days, I host a daily
0:50
Speaker 2: show on a New Jersey based TV news channel called
0:53
Speaker 2: on New Jersey. You could stream it live or I
0:56
Speaker 2: watched it reruns ATNNJ dot COMNNJ dot com. People saying,
1:02
Speaker 2: what do you mean stream? Go on your phone and
1:04
Speaker 2: open the browser and go ONNJA dot com and you
1:07
Speaker 2: can see it. Good to be here with you and
1:09
Speaker 2: having fun here on a Friday. We got a lot
1:11
Speaker 2: to talk about. Our phone lines are open. We want
1:14
Speaker 2: to hear from you, to take part in our conversation.
1:16
Speaker 2: And the number is eight hundred three two one zero
1:20
Speaker 2: seven ten. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Well,
1:24
Speaker 2: it looks like we're finally out of the heat wave.
1:26
Speaker 2: Most of the tri State's going to be what mid
1:29
Speaker 2: eighties today. You could feel it though it's drier when
1:32
Speaker 2: you walk outside, it doesn't feel sticky and heavy. Still
1:35
Speaker 2: have the smoke not as bad as yesterday. Yesterday it
1:37
Speaker 2: was awful, just you know, today just feels so much
1:41
Speaker 2: lighter out if you will, and it was, but I
1:44
Speaker 2: know a lot of people, even with mild asthma, had
1:47
Speaker 2: real bad conditions this week. And we're really impacted by
1:51
Speaker 2: the smoke. But the air quality once again is considered
1:55
Speaker 2: we have an air quality alert, so it's considered not
1:57
Speaker 2: good for sensitive groups today to see of the Canadian
2:01
Speaker 2: wildfire smoke. And I'm finally starting to see online people
2:07
Speaker 2: responding to Canada. Now, what do I mean by that?
2:10
Speaker 2: You'd say, can It's an active nature. What are you
2:12
Speaker 2: gonna do? No, no, I mean proper forest management can
2:18
Speaker 2: significantly stop or reduce wildfires significantly. Okay, they do it
2:27
Speaker 2: in states like Florida. Again Florida. Kent's always talking about Florida. Yeah,
2:31
Speaker 2: you know the when we have the evergla say I
2:33
Speaker 2: say week as I live there part time, when we
2:36
Speaker 2: have we have prescribed burns in the Everglades, and that
2:39
Speaker 2: minimizes wildfires for like a day or two. In the
2:43
Speaker 2: driest of dry times in January February, which down there
2:46
Speaker 2: is very very dry, you'll have a prescribed burn. Sometimes
2:51
Speaker 2: they''ll have a larger burn and for a day you'll
2:53
Speaker 2: get some smoke that wafts you know, to the west
2:56
Speaker 2: or whatever. That's it, and then it goes away and
2:58
Speaker 2: everything's controlled. You need to kill off, burn off, carbonize
3:03
Speaker 2: if you will, the dying or dead trees, because that's fuel.
3:08
Speaker 2: Somebody explained it to me once when I was coming
3:11
Speaker 2: up in science class in high school that trees are
3:15
Speaker 2: like giant solar cells and batteries. They absorb all the
3:19
Speaker 2: energy from the sun trap it in the form of carbon.
3:22
Speaker 2: If you burn it, it basically is releasing the trapped
3:25
Speaker 2: energy from the sun. It's a good way to look
3:27
Speaker 2: at it. Well, of course the left. The left is
3:31
Speaker 2: calling it climate change. It's all climate change, because you know,
3:34
Speaker 2: before climate change, we never had wildfires. The earth was
3:37
Speaker 2: like on fire ten million years ago. I don't know
3:40
Speaker 2: what they're talking about, but it helps boost their argument,
3:44
Speaker 2: or at least they think so. Those of us who
3:47
Speaker 2: have brains and think realize they're full of crap. Wildfires
3:51
Speaker 2: have always happened throughout the history of the Earth. They
3:54
Speaker 2: will always happen as humans. All we have the power
3:57
Speaker 2: to do is to control or minimize them a little bit.
4:01
Speaker 2: Now we do it in much of the United States.
4:04
Speaker 2: But Canada in the last few years has decided to
4:07
Speaker 2: stop managing their forests. They stopped allowing the people from
4:12
Speaker 2: the paper mills and whatnot from harvesting trees, which thinned
4:17
Speaker 2: forest quite a bit. They stopped clearing out underbrush in
4:21
Speaker 2: major national forests. And then all you need is a
4:24
Speaker 2: good hit of lightning or somebody who very accidentally, I
4:28
Speaker 2: don't say it's intentional, but somebody goes camping and they
4:30
Speaker 2: don't put out a fire properly, or an ember flickers
4:34
Speaker 2: up from their campfire, and before you know it, you
4:36
Speaker 2: have trees going up all over the place. When I
4:38
Speaker 2: was a reporter, I used to work for the CBS
4:42
Speaker 2: owned station in Miami nineteen ninety eight to two thousand
4:45
Speaker 2: and two. I remember covering a story in the Everglades
4:48
Speaker 2: around the year ninety nine, I guess it was, and
4:51
Speaker 2: I was wearing a I just had my white like
4:55
Speaker 2: a white dress shirt and a tie on, and because
4:58
Speaker 2: it was so hot it was the Everglades, and I
5:00
Speaker 2: remember standing about one hundred and fifty feet from what
5:04
Speaker 2: is called a mala luca tree. If you live in
5:06
Speaker 2: in the South, you know what a mala luca tree
5:08
Speaker 2: is up here. It's kind of a it's a pine tree. Basically,
5:10
Speaker 2: it's a type of Southern pine. Pine trees are loaded
5:13
Speaker 2: with pine tar and pine oil, so they're extremely flammable.
5:18
Speaker 2: All you need is a spark, and literally it's like
5:21
Speaker 2: putting a spark on a can of gasoline. Until you
5:24
Speaker 2: see it go up, you can't believe anything go up
5:26
Speaker 2: this fast. It just goes like that, Like one hundred
5:29
Speaker 2: foot tree in a second could go from zero to
5:33
Speaker 2: a million, just right up in flames. And I remember
5:37
Speaker 2: doing a report and I had fire couple of hundred
5:40
Speaker 2: feet behind me in one direction, couple of feet one
5:42
Speaker 2: hundred feet behind me in another direction, and the camera
5:44
Speaker 2: shot was wide, and the cameraman saw some embers come
5:49
Speaker 2: start blowing in our direction. Up to that point, the
5:52
Speaker 2: wind was blowing away from me. Suddenly it was blowing
5:55
Speaker 2: toward me. While I was live on the air, and
5:58
Speaker 2: while I was live by the air in the middle
6:00
Speaker 2: the report, the maluluca tree fifty seventy five feet behind
6:04
Speaker 2: me went straight up. Thankfully. I was wrapping my report,
6:08
Speaker 2: and the minute I got done speaking, I ran and
6:12
Speaker 2: I rolled on the floor. I could feel my shirt
6:15
Speaker 2: was on fire. It was it was not burning hot,
6:18
Speaker 2: but it was smoking. It was smoldering. I scorched the
6:21
Speaker 2: hair in the back of my head and I felt
6:24
Speaker 2: how hot it was. The point I'm trying to make
6:26
Speaker 2: is all you need is a little tiny ember, and
6:30
Speaker 2: then you have the fuel in the trees and the
6:32
Speaker 2: whole forest could go up. That's why you have to
6:34
Speaker 2: manage your forests. Canada stopped doing it in about twenty
6:39
Speaker 2: twenty one twenty twenty two under the most liberal regime Trudeau,
6:43
Speaker 2: and then it's been carried on to this day. The
6:45
Speaker 2: Liberals don't believe in touching anything environmental, let it be
6:48
Speaker 2: on natural etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Well, you have to manage
6:52
Speaker 2: things that are in the wild. If you have civilization nearby,
6:56
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean you're harming the wild. Like if you
6:59
Speaker 2: have as a pet, you're not harming the dog by
7:03
Speaker 2: grooming it. In fact, if you don't groom it, it
7:05
Speaker 2: can get sick. And that's kind of the way it
7:07
Speaker 2: is with wildfires and forests. So in twenty twenty three,
7:11
Speaker 2: do you know how much carbon was released into the
7:14
Speaker 2: atmosphere by Canada because of their wildfires? All those environmentals
7:17
Speaker 2: who talk about, oh, stop emitting carbon. The US admits
7:20
Speaker 2: so much carbon in it and it hurts our environment. Canada,
7:25
Speaker 2: because of its wildfires, released seven hundred million metric tons
7:30
Speaker 2: of carbon, making it the third largest polluter from any
7:36
Speaker 2: country in the world. That was, in twenty twenty three
7:39
Speaker 2: the third largest polluter, and I think the first or
7:42
Speaker 2: second was because of volcanic eruptions somewhere else. The point
7:46
Speaker 2: I'm trying to make is that was pretty preventable, or
7:49
Speaker 2: at least it could have been significantly less had they
7:51
Speaker 2: just managed their forests. And I want to know what
7:54
Speaker 2: point do Americans get to sue Canadians because of their
7:58
Speaker 2: lack of forest management, because because of our asthma attacks
8:01
Speaker 2: days people had to take off from work, polluting the environment,
8:05
Speaker 2: dirtying up the soil, having to stay indoors when we
8:08
Speaker 2: should be outdoors doing something. How about taking away the
8:11
Speaker 2: few days of summer that we get ninety days of
8:14
Speaker 2: summer and a lot of us have to stay indoors
8:16
Speaker 2: down and can enjoy our summer days courtesy of our
8:18
Speaker 2: liberal friends to the north. Yet immediately the Prime Minister
8:22
Speaker 2: of Canada speaking in French. By the way, I noticed
8:24
Speaker 2: he did that on purpose. He was speaking in French,
8:27
Speaker 2: not in English, so that the sound bites wouldn't be
8:30
Speaker 2: translated and played in English. He talked about the fact
8:34
Speaker 2: that it's the US being the number one global warming contributor,
8:38
Speaker 2: which is not true. By the way, India, Russia and
8:41
Speaker 2: China we fall way down on the list. They are
8:45
Speaker 2: the biggest contributors of carbon etc. Into the atmosphere, not us.
8:49
Speaker 2: But he started to blame.
8:50
Speaker 3: Us right away.
8:51
Speaker 2: It's like, dude, we don't have wildfires blow and smoke
8:53
Speaker 2: up your backside, so don't blame us for this. In fact,
8:57
Speaker 2: when you consider all the evs and the clean vehicle
9:00
Speaker 2: and the fact that we switched to LED bulbs and whatnot.
9:02
Speaker 2: We've done a lot to conserve. So Canada, shut your mouth,
9:06
Speaker 2: clean up your forest, spend some money. All my Canadian
9:09
Speaker 2: friends no offense. But like every one of my Canadian
9:12
Speaker 2: friends is as cheap as gonna be. I'm not saying
9:13
Speaker 2: all Canadians are cheap, but like I have twelve Canadian
9:17
Speaker 2: friends who it's like they all have crocodile arms. You know,
9:20
Speaker 2: when it comes to paying the building, I can't reach
9:24
Speaker 2: my wallet. Ken, Yeah, all right, I don't know, Ken,
9:28
Speaker 2: the Canadian dollar is worth a lot less, that's why.
9:30
Speaker 2: Yeah whatever. Seven ten w r the voice of New
9:33
Speaker 2: York Ken Rosatto win from Mark on a Friday. Did
9:37
Speaker 2: you hear about the lunatic who broke into the Today
9:40
Speaker 2: Show's studio thirty Rock yesterday? He was apparently looking for
9:43
Speaker 2: Al Roker, who, by the way, is one of the
9:45
Speaker 2: sweetest men ever to walk the earth. Al Roker is
9:47
Speaker 2: a great guy. This lunatic could not find him. Instead
9:52
Speaker 2: came across the co anchor of the show, Craig Melvin,
9:55
Speaker 2: is also a very very nice guy, saw him on
9:57
Speaker 2: the set. So this guy made it to this set,
10:00
Speaker 2: shouted some kind of racial slur at Craig, and then
10:03
Speaker 2: thankfully NYPD officers got wind of this guy. Because listen
10:07
Speaker 2: on the set, you think that there are like fifty people,
10:09
Speaker 2: there aren't. There's like a floor manager, maybe a director
10:13
Speaker 2: or a producer who's wandering around, and then the on
10:16
Speaker 2: air people. It's really not like an army of people.
10:19
Speaker 2: So you know, somebody shouldn't be there, and somebody must
10:22
Speaker 2: have spotted this guy called the police, and the police
10:24
Speaker 2: came up. There's so many police outside thirty Rock well,
10:27
Speaker 2: so apparently they got this guy. He said he came
10:31
Speaker 2: to see to find al Roker. We don't know why.
10:35
Speaker 2: He's identified as Andrew Truelove. They say he was not armed.
10:39
Speaker 2: Police believe he got in through a stairwell. So in
10:43
Speaker 2: light of what's happening with Savannah Guthrie and her mom,
10:46
Speaker 2: you would think that there would be cops crawling all
10:49
Speaker 2: over thirty Rock to make sure a stranger can't get
10:51
Speaker 2: in through a stairwell. But now hopefully security has stepped
10:55
Speaker 2: up there and thankfully nobody was hurt. But Craig did
10:57
Speaker 2: have to miss the beginning of the third hour of
11:02
Speaker 2: today because he was dealing with this guy. So thankfully
11:07
Speaker 2: Craig Melty, he's a big guy. By the way, I
11:09
Speaker 2: would not go up and say anything to Greg Melvin
11:11
Speaker 2: because I think Craig Melvin could have knocked this guy out.
11:14
Speaker 2: But you don't want anyone put in that circumstance. When
11:16
Speaker 2: I was at Channel seven, I remember we had I
11:18
Speaker 2: can't get into details about security, but let's just say
11:22
Speaker 2: there was a lot of it, okay, and it's thankfully
11:25
Speaker 2: there is armed security at all the TV stations and
11:28
Speaker 2: TV networks inside too, and usually they surround the set.
11:32
Speaker 2: There's always a couple of people with weapons in the
11:36
Speaker 2: event something like this happens, thankfully, and then of course
11:39
Speaker 2: NYPD is usually near the outside perimeter of the stations,
11:44
Speaker 2: and thankfully they were there very fast. But this could
11:46
Speaker 2: have been a disaster, a total tragedy, and we just
11:49
Speaker 2: have to keep vigilant at all times. Seven ten w
11:52
Speaker 2: R The Voice of New York. This is Ken rizottowin
11:54
Speaker 2: from Mark on a Friday Trump administration last night. Did
11:58
Speaker 2: you hear the speech? Did you watch it? I think
12:02
Speaker 2: it was disgraceful that several of the networks chose not
12:05
Speaker 2: to air any of it, and then you had like
12:07
Speaker 2: CBS airing part of it, and then they came out
12:09
Speaker 2: early and mus Now, to their credit, they aired a
12:14
Speaker 2: chunk of it, bits and pieces of it at least.
12:17
Speaker 2: But you know, when you think back to the Obama
12:20
Speaker 2: administration the Biden administration, there was only one time when
12:23
Speaker 2: the networks chose not to air something from the Obama administration,
12:27
Speaker 2: and the reason was because it was the night that
12:29
Speaker 2: all the networks were supposed to debut their primetime fall
12:33
Speaker 2: lineup of programming and they were worried it would impact
12:35
Speaker 2: their ratings. So I believe what they did was they
12:38
Speaker 2: delayed broadcast the president's speech, but they still aired it.
12:42
Speaker 2: Never has there been a president that the networks have
12:44
Speaker 2: treated with so much disrespect, and they, well, ken it's
12:48
Speaker 2: our duty. We shouldn't broadcast the lies of this president.
12:51
Speaker 2: It's not for you to judge that. You can air
12:54
Speaker 2: the president's speech and then later if you want it,
12:57
Speaker 2: fact check them, fact check them speak it's America. And
13:02
Speaker 2: then don't be surprised if the FCC comes in and says,
13:05
Speaker 2: you know what, you are not serving the public interest.
13:07
Speaker 2: Remember those broadcast licenses belong to you and me as citizens.
13:12
Speaker 2: They don't belong to the TV networks and stations. The
13:14
Speaker 2: TV networks and stations own the buildings or the equipment
13:19
Speaker 2: and pay the salaries of the individuals on the air
13:22
Speaker 2: to broadcast on channel two, four, five, seven, nine, eleven, thirteen,
13:26
Speaker 2: et cetera, to actually transmit a signal. That is a
13:30
Speaker 2: license that you are granted on an interim basis to
13:34
Speaker 2: be renewed every seven years. And if the FCC deems
13:38
Speaker 2: that you are not serving the public interest and someone
13:40
Speaker 2: else can do it better, you lose your license. It
13:42
Speaker 2: has nothing to do with being Republican or Democrat. You
13:45
Speaker 2: have to best serve the public interest because there is
13:47
Speaker 2: a limited amount as a small pool of licenses available.
13:51
Speaker 2: So if someone else can do a better job, just
13:52
Speaker 2: because your channel seven and you've been on the air
13:54
Speaker 2: for seventy five years or whatever, doesn't mean someone else
13:57
Speaker 2: might not do a better job. And I'm not trying
13:58
Speaker 2: to sing a lot seven, by the way, I'm talking
14:00
Speaker 2: about four or five, two, whatever, It doesn't matter the channel.
14:03
Speaker 2: I'm just mentioning seven because I used to work there
14:05
Speaker 2: and had a great time there. By the way, but
14:08
Speaker 2: you need to understand that those are public licenses and
14:13
Speaker 2: they are subject to FCC review. Now, it doesn't work
14:17
Speaker 2: in a sense that the FCC can proactively take away
14:19
Speaker 2: your license. It has to be subject to members of
14:22
Speaker 2: the public complaining. Once people come up and complain, then
14:26
Speaker 2: the FCC responds they can't proactively and preemptively stop you
14:30
Speaker 2: from doing something, because then that's squashing freedom of speech,
14:34
Speaker 2: et cetera. But you know, this could get ugly, and
14:38
Speaker 2: I think when we get our mass media, I think
14:41
Speaker 2: this could backfire. Let's put it this way. I think
14:43
Speaker 2: it could backfire for mass media because what could happen
14:46
Speaker 2: is people could say, listen, we didn't have to watch you.
14:48
Speaker 2: We were able to stream the president online. And it
14:50
Speaker 2: just shows how irrelevant TV news has become. It is
14:54
Speaker 2: not something years ago, even ten years ago, people used
14:56
Speaker 2: to rush home six o'clock at night. Five o'clock at night,
14:59
Speaker 2: you put on the new have dinner with the family,
15:01
Speaker 2: and you'd have Walter Cronkite back in the day on today.
15:04
Speaker 2: I can't tell you a person who watches what we
15:07
Speaker 2: call the linear broadcast of a TV newscast. I don't
15:10
Speaker 2: know one linear broadcast means you watch it live when
15:12
Speaker 2: it comes on the year five to six or whatever.
15:15
Speaker 2: I don't know a person.
15:16
Speaker 3: You may.
15:17
Speaker 2: You may still I know people who watch CNN or
15:20
Speaker 2: Fox News or Newsmax or ms NOW, but I don't
15:25
Speaker 2: know people who are watching local TV news anymore. And
15:28
Speaker 2: it's sad because I loved that industry, certainly, I worked
15:31
Speaker 2: in it for decades and want a whole bunch of
15:34
Speaker 2: Emmy's doing it, if I may pat myself on the back,
15:37
Speaker 2: but it's just sad to see it being a shadow
15:40
Speaker 2: of its former self. We want to know what you
15:42
Speaker 2: have to say about stuff, so you give us a call.
15:44
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten. Eight
15:47
Speaker 2: hundred three to two one zero seven ten. It's going
15:49
Speaker 2: to be partly sunny. Today's actually pretty nice ad. It's
15:51
Speaker 2: a lot less human right now. Still going to have
15:54
Speaker 2: some smoke in the air, though it's going to make
15:56
Speaker 2: it hard to breathe. We still have an air quality
15:58
Speaker 2: alert in effect. Tempts make it to the mid eighties
16:02
Speaker 2: coming up. Lots of folks still angry with Mayor Zorron
16:04
Speaker 2: Mamdani over the ethnic neighborhood map that left off Little Italy.
16:09
Speaker 2: By the way, I think it also left off Harlem.
16:11
Speaker 2: How the heck do you leave off Harlem, I mean craziness.
16:15
Speaker 2: In just a few we will speak with the head
16:17
Speaker 2: of the Italian American One Voice Coalition about that and more.
16:21
Speaker 2: But your calls are next eight hundred and three to
16:22
Speaker 2: two one zero seven ten. It is ten twenty two,
16:25
Speaker 2: seven to ten wor Kenrozotto win from Mark. We're coming right.
16:28
Speaker 1: Back now more of the Mark Simone Show on seven
16:31
Speaker 1: to ten WR going in from Mark. Here again is
16:35
Speaker 1: Ken Rosotto.
16:36
Speaker 4: And very good morning.
16:37
Speaker 2: We go right to our busy phones. Joe in Elmwood Park,
16:40
Speaker 2: right near Gotfield. Good morning to you, Joe.
16:43
Speaker 5: Okay, Trump's main time topic was the elections. Now we
16:48
Speaker 5: have a saying in Jersey, as you know, I would
16:51
Speaker 5: kiss your behind in Macy's window if you could prove
16:54
Speaker 5: to me that this election that Muslim Mickey was on
16:58
Speaker 5: the up and up, or world bird Brain or Governor
17:02
Speaker 5: lamb Chop as I call her.
17:04
Speaker 2: You you really like these elected officials? I can tell, uh. Yeah, Look,
17:08
Speaker 2: there are a lot of people who who have those beliefs.
17:12
Speaker 2: And I know a lot of people because you know,
17:13
Speaker 2: I do my show in Jersey, my Morning show, and
17:17
Speaker 2: we get a lot of people who call and say,
17:18
Speaker 2: how on earth could Mickey Cheryl get you know, more
17:22
Speaker 2: votes than Governor Murphy and a lot more votes. Look,
17:26
Speaker 2: it is what is until until we get the Save
17:29
Speaker 2: Act and we can confirm that people who are citizens
17:33
Speaker 2: get to vote. I think until that happens, we're gonna
17:36
Speaker 2: have we're gonna have issues in terms of being a
17:40
Speaker 2: having a sense of confidence in the vote. And that's
17:42
Speaker 2: why the idea that the Democrats are so reticent to
17:46
Speaker 2: being able to confirm who can vote before they vote,
17:49
Speaker 2: it's a little annoying. Vincent fort Pierce, Florida, good morning.
17:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, good morning.
17:54
Speaker 4: You know you're the first person on air to mention
17:57
Speaker 4: the president's speech last night. I listened to Sean Addity
18:00
Speaker 4: last night, and you know, he just brushed over it
18:02
Speaker 4: and said the President made claims of releasing documents tomorrow,
18:06
Speaker 4: then he went into Iran, and then this morning I
18:09
Speaker 4: watched Maria the same thing. Nobody's talked about it, but
18:12
Speaker 4: I think part of it is because Fox gave seven
18:17
Speaker 4: hundred million dollars without going to court to dominion machines
18:21
Speaker 4: in that lawsuit, and Trump mentioned not by name, but
18:24
Speaker 4: he mentioned those machines. And if you look at all
18:27
Speaker 4: these elections that all these Democrats are fighting and screaming.
18:31
Speaker 4: You mentioned New Jersey, and you know, the numbers just
18:34
Speaker 4: didn't make sense. You saw what happen in LA, you
18:36
Speaker 4: saw what happened in twenty twenty, and nobody would be
18:40
Speaker 4: fighting for illegal aliens if they weren't using.
18:43
Speaker 3: Him to vote.
18:43
Speaker 4: And I remember Rudy years ago was on with Sean
18:46
Speaker 4: Hannity and he talked about how much voter fraud was
18:49
Speaker 4: going on during his elections, and he said that what
18:52
Speaker 4: they would do is they would take buses from precinct
18:54
Speaker 4: to precinct full of homeless and they would vote under
18:58
Speaker 4: different names, and he said they would eliminate some of them.
19:01
Speaker 4: You know, they were able to get some of them,
19:03
Speaker 4: and that's what helped him in his reelection.
19:05
Speaker 3: He said, but it's make a mistake.
19:07
Speaker 4: These people are voting, and now that they have the illegals,
19:10
Speaker 4: they're really going to town and these people want them.
19:12
Speaker 4: And you know Trump mentioned that there's two hundred twenty thousand.
19:16
Speaker 2: Then I don't mean only because we're coming up on
19:18
Speaker 2: the bottom. I'm with you on a lot of this.
19:21
Speaker 2: In that look, I've said to Democrat friends of mine,
19:23
Speaker 2: very liberal friends. I said, if we knew for a
19:26
Speaker 2: fact that the people coming across the border we're all conservatives,
19:29
Speaker 2: and they couldn't wait to get here and vote quote
19:31
Speaker 2: family values unquote and vote for conservatives, you would have
19:35
Speaker 2: a wall built so damn fast that we would be
19:38
Speaker 2: out of cement in the rest of the country. And then,
19:40
Speaker 2: and my liberal friends always chuckle because they know it's true.
19:43
Speaker 2: They know it's true. So I think there's a lot
19:46
Speaker 2: of truth to what you're saying. And if we're not
19:49
Speaker 2: even talking about the fact that illegal aliens are here
19:52
Speaker 2: and voting illegally as much as the even if they
19:55
Speaker 2: just settle in blue cities like New York and Philadelphia,
19:58
Speaker 2: et cetera, that keeps the number of Congressional representatives high,
20:02
Speaker 2: and the Democrats who can vote who live there now
20:04
Speaker 2: have more Democrats to vote for, and that causes just
20:07
Speaker 2: as much harm as if the illegals are voting on
20:09
Speaker 2: their own. Hey, let me ask you, how is my
20:11
Speaker 2: fair state of Florida. You know, I live in Fort Lauderdale.
20:14
Speaker 4: I just got that was up in New Jersey. I
20:15
Speaker 4: have a house down the shore still, and I got
20:18
Speaker 4: to tell you it was hotter up there. Than yes,
20:20
Speaker 4: I here. I love. I live on the Indian River,
20:22
Speaker 4: so it's you know, you get a little bit of
20:24
Speaker 4: the breeze from there.
20:25
Speaker 2: You're not allowed to call it that. It's the Native
20:27
Speaker 2: American River. What is wrong with you? Vince?
20:30
Speaker 3: The change names.
20:31
Speaker 6: I love that changes name.
20:34
Speaker 2: I know, Listen, I can't wait to get back down,
20:36
Speaker 2: my friend. I'll go in the middle of July. I
20:38
Speaker 2: love my state of Florida so much, but I also
20:40
Speaker 2: love my state of New Jersey. And then have a
20:42
Speaker 2: going brother, take it easy, we go to filling queen's
20:44
Speaker 2: good morning.
20:46
Speaker 7: Hey, good jo campaigns going back to Hubert Humphrey. And
20:52
Speaker 7: I've seen a lot of fraud. I've had oh watcher
20:56
Speaker 7: and I'm an attorney. Also, machines impounded. I've seen another
21:01
Speaker 7: type of fraud where at senior citizen homes and disabled homes,
21:06
Speaker 7: the liberal social workers and aides are voting for people,
21:11
Speaker 7: you know, instead of the people voting for themselves. And
21:14
Speaker 7: even when Congresswoman Grace Ming first got elected, there were
21:20
Speaker 7: a huge amount every school I ever worked at, maybe
21:25
Speaker 7: they'd be one or two Affidavid ballots. Every ed had
21:32
Speaker 7: fifteen twenty twenty five and it was all.
21:36
Speaker 2: Frauds and Phil, let me guess they let me guess, Phil.
21:39
Speaker 2: They all went for the Republicans, right.
21:42
Speaker 7: Yeah, they voted for Ronald Reagan.
21:45
Speaker 2: Yeah not now, I hear you. And this is as old.
21:48
Speaker 2: I just want to know why it always seems to
21:50
Speaker 2: be the left that does this and we just tolerate
21:54
Speaker 2: the republic Go ahead.
21:57
Speaker 7: The Democrats are criminal enterprise, an ongoing criminal enterprise.
22:01
Speaker 3: That's it.
22:02
Speaker 2: Because the idea is power, power, power is more important
22:06
Speaker 2: than morals and everything else.
22:07
Speaker 3: That's it.
22:08
Speaker 2: He who rules makes all right, my friend, we appreciate you.
22:12
Speaker 2: We're going to quickly go to our friend Vincent. Hello,
22:14
Speaker 2: good morning.
22:16
Speaker 3: Hello. I'm sorry, or Ken, it's not Vincent, it's Robert. Oh,
22:19
Speaker 3: Robert Vincent, go right ahead.
22:21
Speaker 2: I no, no, I'll take Robert. It says you're Vincent
22:23
Speaker 2: on the on the list, but I would be more
22:26
Speaker 2: than happy to take Robert. We got about a minute.
22:27
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Robert, Thank you, Ken. I'll make it fast.
22:30
Speaker 3: So the other part what President Trump was talking about
22:33
Speaker 3: about last night, I don't remember when Tulca Gabbard went
22:36
Speaker 3: to that warehouse for the votes, and she they said,
22:39
Speaker 3: why is she going there? All of a sudden evidence
22:43
Speaker 3: of documents started coming up, and I don't you remember
22:46
Speaker 3: that Also that same company that had the voter that
22:50
Speaker 3: that that unfortunately Fox paid almost eight hundred million dollars
22:54
Speaker 3: to UH, they dropped their lawsuit against Mike the pillow guy.
22:58
Speaker 3: Now why would they do that? They could have crushed him.
23:01
Speaker 3: But right after she did that, they're saying that stuff
23:03
Speaker 3: has come out that could show that there was malfeasance
23:09
Speaker 3: that we don't.
23:09
Speaker 2: But we don't. Honestly, we don't know that. I mean
23:12
Speaker 2: when we say there's stuff anyone could post whatever on X,
23:14
Speaker 2: we don't know. And listen, I'm not saying there is
23:16
Speaker 2: or isn't. I'm just saying I don't know, and I
23:18
Speaker 2: don't think anyone knows unless if there was stuff, it'll
23:22
Speaker 2: be made public and it'll come out because there's a
23:25
Speaker 2: lot of money involved here on both sides, so it'll happen.
23:28
Speaker 3: No, absolutely, But the other point I wanted to make
23:30
Speaker 3: that I told you Cole screen it, which I agree.
23:32
Speaker 3: Whatever what everybody is saying, how did the major media say,
23:36
Speaker 3: you know what, we decided what he's saying isn't relevant
23:39
Speaker 3: to the American people? And is that? Is that not?
23:42
Speaker 3: Also like well, here's the way we deal.
23:45
Speaker 2: Here's the way we tell them to go screw themselves.
23:47
Speaker 2: If you're pardon my expression, don't watch them, don't watch them, listen, listen,
23:51
Speaker 2: right and that's the problem for them right now. Do
23:54
Speaker 2: you know the TV news is down to about thirty
23:56
Speaker 2: to thirty five percent viewership of what it was ten
23:58
Speaker 2: years ago. That's a ka's way single, screw yourself. We
24:01
Speaker 2: don't need you. We have our Fox News, Newsmax, et cetera.
24:05
Speaker 2: And we could get our stuff online. And if you
24:07
Speaker 2: want to act like this and be one sided, you
24:09
Speaker 2: can go to hell. It's as simple as that. We
24:11
Speaker 2: appreciate you, Robert, and thank you for being so kind
24:13
Speaker 2: in the beginning saying that Vincent could take your space,
24:15
Speaker 2: but I would never do that to you. Seven ten
24:17
Speaker 2: woar the Voice of New York.
24:20
Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten
24:23
Speaker 1: WOI in from Mark today. Here's Ken Rosato seven ten wor.
24:30
Speaker 2: You are listening to the Marx simonk Show on a
24:32
Speaker 2: Friday morning. Good to be filling in for Mark, who
24:34
Speaker 2: is off today for long weekend. You know, Mayored Zorron
24:36
Speaker 2: Mamdani's administration is under fire because He recently released a
24:40
Speaker 2: map of New York City's ethnic neighborhoods and conspicuously left
24:45
Speaker 2: out the city's white ethnic neighborhoods, places like Woodlawn and
24:49
Speaker 2: the Bronx, famous for its Irish population, Borough Park, Brooklyn,
24:53
Speaker 2: famous as an enclay for the ultra Orthodox Jews, a
24:56
Speaker 2: story of Queens, populated by up to forty thousand Greek Americans,
25:01
Speaker 2: and one of the most famous and iconic ethnic neighborhoods
25:04
Speaker 2: in all of America, certainly of New York, Little Italy,
25:08
Speaker 2: well over one hundred and fifty years old. And Mamdani's
25:11
Speaker 2: response to the omissions, Well, I'll let him speak for himself.
25:14
Speaker 8: So this map was initially created by the prior administration
25:17
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty three, and when we inherited it, we
25:20
Speaker 8: added a few additional neighborhoods. It's clearly not an exhaustive
25:24
Speaker 8: list of the more than two hundred ethnic communities that
25:27
Speaker 8: call our city home, and we're going to be making
25:29
Speaker 8: additional changes in the future to reflect that, and that
25:32
Speaker 8: includes adding Little Italy.
25:33
Speaker 3: To the map.
25:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Little Italy's an afterthought. It's like, yeah, we
25:36
Speaker 2: so get this, get this. He added three China towns.
25:40
Speaker 2: He added two little Guyanas. He added a little Bod Tibet.
25:46
Speaker 2: I didn't know that Tibet was known as Bho d Bod,
25:49
Speaker 2: but I guess it is two little Mexicos. But he
25:52
Speaker 2: couldn't think about this place called Little Italy. Twenty eight
25:56
Speaker 2: of the thirty ethnic neighborhoods on that map, by the way,
25:59
Speaker 2: are listed that we're listed are non white, which is
26:02
Speaker 2: great and we should be celebrating it. But you don't
26:04
Speaker 2: eliminate certain cultures for others. So much for being mayor
26:08
Speaker 2: of all the people. So right now we go to
26:10
Speaker 2: our friend Andre Demino, president of the Italian American One
26:13
Speaker 2: Voice Coalition, to discuss why these omissions matter. Good morning
26:17
Speaker 2: to you, Andre.
26:19
Speaker 9: Good morning ken, Good to be with you, Good to
26:21
Speaker 9: be have.
26:22
Speaker 2: You, I should say, And what was your reaction, Andre,
26:24
Speaker 2: when you first saw the map and you realized, of
26:26
Speaker 2: all places, Little Italy was nowhere to be found.
26:30
Speaker 9: It's just a disgrace. I mean, you know this is
26:33
Speaker 9: for me. This was absolutely a deliberate action. You've got
26:37
Speaker 9: to remember that Mayor Mondami, before he was mayor, he
26:40
Speaker 9: gave the finger to the Columbus statue and said take
26:42
Speaker 9: it down. So I think we know where he stands
26:45
Speaker 9: with respect to Italian Americans and Little Lily. It's such
26:48
Speaker 9: an important part of New York City history. The Italians
26:51
Speaker 9: helped built this country. Little Lialy was the stepping stone
26:53
Speaker 9: for so many millions that came into here. Even my
26:56
Speaker 9: own family came through Mont Street in Little Italy. So
26:59
Speaker 9: leaving that out, as well as leaving off the Jewish
27:02
Speaker 9: communities and the Irish communities, it's apparent what he's doing,
27:05
Speaker 9: he's reshaping New York.
27:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again everybody's well, I love the fact that
27:10
Speaker 2: we have so many cultures of New York, right. Don't
27:12
Speaker 2: you love going and trying the different food and China
27:14
Speaker 2: Town in middle of Mexico. I think that's wonderful. This
27:17
Speaker 2: is not about you don't deserve to be here, It's
27:20
Speaker 2: about we should. I mean, you just gotta be careful
27:24
Speaker 2: if you're going to start playing the game of putting
27:26
Speaker 2: certain cultures on, make sure you have all the cultures on.
27:29
Speaker 2: You can't just conveniently forget places like Little Italy and
27:34
Speaker 2: Little Greece. I mean, come on, And that's the feeling.
27:37
Speaker 2: It's like, well, you know what you're yesterday, this is tomorrow.
27:41
Speaker 2: And that's definitely is the sense I think a lot
27:43
Speaker 2: of people I've spoken to have had that you guys
27:46
Speaker 2: were here one hundred years ago, you're irrelevant. Now this
27:48
Speaker 2: is the direction we're headed. Am I wrong?
27:51
Speaker 9: No, You're a hundred percent right. In fact, you know
27:53
Speaker 9: where there's a big uproar from lots of Italian American
27:56
Speaker 9: organization and I'm pleased they did that. And his response
27:58
Speaker 9: that you played up front, you know, he said, oh, okay,
28:01
Speaker 9: now we're going to put little little back, but that
28:02
Speaker 9: was after the tremendous response that was there. But candidly, Ken,
28:06
Speaker 9: this has been a number of days and he hasn't
28:08
Speaker 9: put it back yet, right, And he did say in
28:10
Speaker 9: the future, what's future one hundred years from there?
28:12
Speaker 2: No, once he's out of office, it'll be his parting gift.
28:17
Speaker 2: And remember this map was released even though he says
28:19
Speaker 2: it was created under the previous administration. Notice, the previous
28:23
Speaker 2: administration did not release it, maybe because they knew it
28:26
Speaker 2: wasn't complete, That's why they didn't release it. And before
28:29
Speaker 2: your people, your nine year olds that you have working
28:32
Speaker 2: for you, nine year old socialists that you have working
28:34
Speaker 2: for you, before you release a map like this, maybe
28:37
Speaker 2: have somebody check it over. It's like a four year
28:39
Speaker 2: old doing a color finger painting before you bring it
28:42
Speaker 2: to the art teacher. Maybe mommy and daddy'll check it over.
28:45
Speaker 2: And that's what you need. An adult in the room
28:48
Speaker 2: in this administration, and it feels like there isn't one.
28:52
Speaker 9: Well, not just an adult, but I think you need
28:54
Speaker 9: an adult that doesn't want to change New York because
28:56
Speaker 9: that's really where he's heating, you know, to eliminate the
28:59
Speaker 9: really the the heartbeat of what started this city, the
29:03
Speaker 9: Italian Americans, Irish Americans, the Jewish that have been here
29:06
Speaker 9: for so long. I mean, I think it's obvious what
29:08
Speaker 9: he's doing to me. As I said, it's deliberate.
29:11
Speaker 3: Yeah.
29:11
Speaker 2: And this is, by the way, Andre Demino, the president
29:13
Speaker 2: of the Italian American One Voice Coalition. Their website is
29:18
Speaker 2: IAOVC dot org if you want to check them out.
29:22
Speaker 2: And they get upset when things like the Columbus statues
29:27
Speaker 2: get torn down or literal itally gets forgotten from maps.
29:30
Speaker 2: It's to make sure that people realize the positive contributions
29:33
Speaker 2: of Italian Americans to our culture and not at the
29:36
Speaker 2: expense of other cultures. In fact, just the opposite. You
29:38
Speaker 2: have reached out to members and talked to members of
29:41
Speaker 2: the Irish and Jewish communities and Greek communities whose historic
29:44
Speaker 2: neighborhoods were not highlighted as well.
29:45
Speaker 3: Correct.
29:47
Speaker 9: Oh, absolutely correct, and we're looking for that outreach. We're
29:50
Speaker 9: looking to unify people. In fact, you didn't mention it,
29:52
Speaker 9: but we've actually formed an alliance with the Native American
29:55
Speaker 9: Guardians Association because they feel that they're being underpressed now
29:59
Speaker 9: with removing the aims like the Redskins and the Chiefs,
30:01
Speaker 9: which they're proud of. So we've got a like feeling
30:04
Speaker 9: between us and Native Americans as well as the other
30:06
Speaker 9: groups that you mentioned. We should unify, even though they're
30:09
Speaker 9: trying to divide us and conquer us by dividing us,
30:13
Speaker 9: we've got to unify together. All groups should come together
30:15
Speaker 9: and be strong against these types of approaches.
30:18
Speaker 2: And that's what makes New York create when we all
30:19
Speaker 2: do come together as opposed to battling one another. It's
30:22
Speaker 2: not about having distinct neighborhoods and you stay there and
30:25
Speaker 2: I stay here. It's about celebrating the differences. The differences
30:28
Speaker 2: are great, Let's celebrate them.
30:30
Speaker 3: Let's go.
30:30
Speaker 2: And you know, listen, I know so many Italians and
30:33
Speaker 2: I'm sure you do too, Italian Americans whose favorite food
30:36
Speaker 2: isn't Italian, and they'll go into the Thai neighborhood because
30:38
Speaker 2: they got great Thai food or whatever. It's about celebrating
30:41
Speaker 2: the goodness of each other's culture and the richness while
30:43
Speaker 2: still coming together as Americans and being proud. I don't
30:46
Speaker 2: want to sound Pollyannish, but it is part of the
30:48
Speaker 2: joy of being in this country. Otherwise, can go to
30:50
Speaker 2: any other country in the world if you want a
30:52
Speaker 2: monolithic field, but here it's about the melting pot and
30:55
Speaker 2: the joy of that. But when you leave out groups,
30:58
Speaker 2: you're basically saying you need not apply, you don't need
31:00
Speaker 2: to be here. And the whole purpose of this map
31:03
Speaker 2: being released when it was andre was for the FIFA
31:06
Speaker 2: World Cup visitors. So now for the mayor to very
31:09
Speaker 2: disingenuously say, oh, well, we'll get to it, we'll release
31:12
Speaker 2: it with Italy when after all the FIFA people have gone.
31:15
Speaker 2: They're leaving on Sunday or Monday, so they won't be
31:17
Speaker 2: here anymore. So then you're going to tell them, oh,
31:19
Speaker 2: by the way, there was a little Italy.
31:20
Speaker 9: Here, No, exactly as I said, his reaction really was
31:25
Speaker 9: because of the uproar that came up. But now maybe
31:28
Speaker 9: he thinks it's going to subside. But we're not going
31:29
Speaker 9: to let it go. We've got to continue to be
31:31
Speaker 9: vigilant because after all, with this, now, Ken, are we
31:34
Speaker 9: looking at maybe the San Gennaro Fest not getting a permit.
31:38
Speaker 9: Are we looking at the Columbus Day Parade not being
31:41
Speaker 9: able to be taken, this be had this year. You know,
31:44
Speaker 9: we've got to be vigilant and keep our eyes on
31:46
Speaker 9: it and make sure that these things don't change us.
31:49
Speaker 2: Well, you're absolutely right, and we are glad that your organization,
31:52
Speaker 2: our organization I say our or I don't just mean
31:54
Speaker 2: Italian Americans. I mean you need organizations to be vigilant
31:58
Speaker 2: like this, whether you are of of Italian extraction or not.
32:02
Speaker 2: And we're happy and glad and proud that you are
32:04
Speaker 2: on it. So we appreciate Andre Domino, president of the
32:08
Speaker 2: Italian American One Voice Coalition, to discuss why it is
32:12
Speaker 2: so important not to omit groups from the ethnic map
32:15
Speaker 2: in New York. Andre, thanks for coming on today.
32:18
Speaker 9: Thank you, Ken, Take care you too, all.
32:20
Speaker 2: Right, Sonny Hot and humid again. Today it's going to
32:24
Speaker 2: be probably mid eighties, not as hot as it has been.
32:28
Speaker 2: But remember we still have a problem with the air.
32:31
Speaker 2: There's an air quality alert in effect, so if you
32:33
Speaker 2: have problems breathing, just kind of stay indoors as much
32:36
Speaker 2: as you can, or use a mask because it is
32:40
Speaker 2: not good if you have asthma. Phone lines are open.
32:42
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Eight hundred
32:46
Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten. This is Ken Rosato
32:49
Speaker 2: in for Mark Simone on your Friday seven to ten.
32:52
Speaker 2: Wo are those phone calls next? We're coming right back.
32:55
Speaker 1: It's the Mark Simone Show live from the woor Life Studios.
33:01
Speaker 1: Guest hosting for Mark today, here's Ken Rosatto.
33:04
Speaker 2: Ada, Very good morning. Let us go straight to our
33:07
Speaker 2: busy phones. Let's take Pam in New Jersey.
33:09
Speaker 10: Good morning, Japan, Good morning. I just read that Senator
33:14
Speaker 10: Murreno m O r I n O of Ohio is
33:18
Speaker 10: going to present legislation to sanction Canada about not handling
33:23
Speaker 10: their forest properly, and some other senators are going in
33:27
Speaker 10: on it with him, and I told I called up
33:29
Speaker 10: several different senators and congress people to advise them to
33:33
Speaker 10: look for that legislation.
33:35
Speaker 2: Good, well, I'm glad we're doing something, but you know
33:37
Speaker 2: what that's going to do. Nothing? All it does, and
33:42
Speaker 2: first of all, every Democrat will vote against it, and
33:44
Speaker 2: you'll get the couple of wishy washy Republicans will vote
33:47
Speaker 2: against it. And if it does pass, Canada is going
33:49
Speaker 2: to say, and what should I do with this? Wipe
33:51
Speaker 2: my nose. I'm with you, and I appreciate it, Pam,
33:55
Speaker 2: and I one hundred percent. But you know the way
33:57
Speaker 2: it is, Canada is going to say, oh, really, what
34:00
Speaker 2: does this mean?
34:00
Speaker 10: When they killed We're going to kill those ostriches. I
34:04
Speaker 10: called the embassy Canadian embassy in New York and the
34:08
Speaker 10: consulate in Alberta and Vancouver and they were not nice.
34:13
Speaker 10: But that doesn't stop me.
34:15
Speaker 2: Well don't for Pam, I'm not and I'm not belittling you.
34:18
Speaker 2: I love what you're doing and I love the fact
34:20
Speaker 2: that you're passionate about it.
34:21
Speaker 4: I'm with you.
34:21
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you at all. The problem is
34:24
Speaker 2: all the leftists in Canada are so brainwashed. They are
34:27
Speaker 2: still they're blaming Trump and the US for the wildfires.
34:33
Speaker 2: They think because of our carbon emissions in global warming,
34:36
Speaker 2: that's why the forest fires open. Because forest fires haven't
34:39
Speaker 2: happened in Canada for a million years. It just just
34:41
Speaker 2: happened when Trump was elected. Don't you know that, Pam.
34:44
Speaker 3: It's just ridiculous, it's happening.
34:46
Speaker 10: That's why paper towels are thirty five dollars. Yeah, because
34:50
Speaker 10: they closed down the lumber mills in our country too.
34:54
Speaker 10: And the lumber mills used to go through with their
34:56
Speaker 10: big machinery and they used to drive through and create
35:00
Speaker 10: eight clearcuts and take out the air debris. That's why
35:03
Speaker 10: you didn't have the forest fires that we're having now, Pam.
35:06
Speaker 2: I remember the Great Late Great Russia Inmby used to
35:08
Speaker 2: talk about this that for every tree that the lumber
35:12
Speaker 2: mills cut down, they had to plant seven new ones.
35:15
Speaker 2: So it was truly a renewable resource. But yet the
35:18
Speaker 2: liberals didn't want to hear it because once they get
35:21
Speaker 2: in their minds that it's evil and bad, just like
35:23
Speaker 2: fossil fuels, evil bad, evil bad, nuclear.
35:26
Speaker 3: Bad evil bad.
35:27
Speaker 2: Basically, any other life form is allowed to exist on Earth,
35:31
Speaker 2: but humans. Humans are not the only life form. They
35:35
Speaker 2: cannot have survival of the fittest. We should just go
35:38
Speaker 2: in a cave and roll up in a ball and
35:40
Speaker 2: die and let the roaches take over and whatnot. That's
35:43
Speaker 2: the sickness, the self loathing sickness that is liberalism in
35:47
Speaker 2: this country. But I appreciate you, Pam, thanks and thanks
35:49
Speaker 2: for listening to the Mark Simone Show. We go to
35:52
Speaker 2: Bob in Montvale, New Jersey, up near the wonderful border
35:55
Speaker 2: of Ruckland County, New York. Good morning to you, Bob, oh.
35:59
Speaker 6: Good morning to you. Thanks for taking the call. But
36:02
Speaker 6: you know, forget this Mandani map. Have you ever looked
36:06
Speaker 6: at like the statistics from Ellis Island? And the reason
36:09
Speaker 6: why I bring it up is all these democrats out
36:13
Speaker 6: that this new wave of immigrants slash illegals have like
36:17
Speaker 6: helped build this country. But if you look at the
36:20
Speaker 6: statistics from Ellis Island, where immigrants who truly built this country,
36:27
Speaker 6: you know it's it's, you know, eye popping that the
36:31
Speaker 6: top five countries are Italy, Austria, Hungary, Russia, Germany and Island.
36:37
Speaker 6: I don't see little Mogadishu. I don't see little this
36:41
Speaker 6: or a little that there. So Mundani and even the
36:45
Speaker 6: helicopter pilot here in New Jersey should really look at
36:49
Speaker 6: the history and it really gets me stick actually again.
36:55
Speaker 6: And I'm sorry to sound like emotional, but aren't we
36:59
Speaker 6: sick of.
37:00
Speaker 2: Bob Bob Bob. Don't you understand the mind of a communist?
37:04
Speaker 2: Don't you understand the mind of a guy? See no,
37:06
Speaker 2: because we're we're libertarian conservatives. This is this is the
37:09
Speaker 2: way they manipulate, don't you see. So let's make the
37:13
Speaker 2: poor migrant from Tibet who has about three dollars in
37:17
Speaker 2: their pocket. And I'm not belittling or making fun I'm
37:19
Speaker 2: just illustrating reality. Let's make them feel more secure about
37:26
Speaker 2: themselves in the country so they will follow me and
37:29
Speaker 2: vote me into office as a communist. And then once
37:32
Speaker 2: I'm in power, I take away the guns by having
37:35
Speaker 2: the strongest gun control laws in the country in the
37:37
Speaker 2: United States, meaning nobody can have a gun, even good
37:40
Speaker 2: law abiding citizens, and we charge confiscatory tax rates and
37:44
Speaker 2: we have total control. Meanwhile, he comes from a millionaire
37:47
Speaker 2: family where his mother was wealthy, his father was wealthy
37:50
Speaker 2: and never worked a day in his life. The only
37:53
Speaker 2: time he did is ripe video. Mommy directed it. And
37:55
Speaker 2: he becomes elected mayor.
37:58
Speaker 6: It's said, It's really is said, and it does kind
38:01
Speaker 6: of get just sick.
38:02
Speaker 1: In a way.
38:03
Speaker 6: But if you look at really just from a statistical
38:06
Speaker 6: point of view, you know, just it puts them all down.
38:10
Speaker 6: But I guess we can kind of ignore it all somehow,
38:14
Speaker 6: And it's a shame.
38:15
Speaker 2: It's because you have the sick ephants in the mainstream
38:17
Speaker 2: media who love this. They love him, they love the
38:20
Speaker 2: socialist left. This is all part of their agenda. Believe me,
38:23
Speaker 2: I worked in the industry long enough. It is loaded
38:26
Speaker 2: and polluted by people on the far left, and no
38:29
Speaker 2: other opinions need apply. We appreciate you, called Bob, Thank
38:32
Speaker 2: you so much, and have a good weekend. Partly sunny today,
38:35
Speaker 2: lots of smoke in the air still though, making it
38:37
Speaker 2: hard to breathe. Heights mid eighties. It's ken risottowin from
38:40
Speaker 2: Mark on your Friday. Coming up later, we speak to
38:42
Speaker 2: the secretary of the New York State Conservative Party about
38:45
Speaker 2: the new Senate bill that would codify or codify President
38:49
Speaker 2: Trump's Day one executive order clarifying birthright citizenship seven ten
