• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Filling in for Mark, here's Ken Rosato.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: And a very happy Thursday, good to be with you. Yes,
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Mark is off on a nice long weekend for Leoparday Thursday,
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: and hopefully he's enjoying himself. Nice to be here. Ken Rosato,
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: former New York City TV News anchor. The guy used
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: to be on Channel 7 and Channel 5, I was
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: on Channel 55. Gosh, it's almost, there wasn't a channel
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: I wasn't on at some point. My gosh, find a channel.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: You could say, oh, there's the ghost of Ken Rosato there.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: But it's so nice to be here on iHeartRadio, 710WOR,
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: the voice of New York. It is always exciting walking
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: in the building. And here at iHeart, in the lobby,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: they have been talking about redoing the lobby for years.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: And I've been saying how exciting that's going to be
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: in the couple of years that I've been working here,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: part-time filling in for Mark. I've been talking to the
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: guys and the ladies at the front desk and they've
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: been saying, hey, they're going to do this lobby eventually. Well,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: last week I came to the building for the first
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: time since they actually started doing the lobby. And you
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: have to walk about six and a half miles downtown.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: You make a left, two rights. You ask two police.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: They take you up a flight of steps. You go
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: left to the right. Then you got to show four
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: forms of ID, give a blood test, and then you
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: get to the second floor. Oh, and then when you
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: get to the second floor, you take an elevator and
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: then you got to get here. I sound like Jackie
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Mason now. But it is going to be great when
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: it's done. But let's see, Izzy's at the controls here. Izzy,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: what do you think it'll take about, they said a year.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: So my guess is it's going to be about 14,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: 15 years, right? Okay.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: So basically when I am on my third retirement, then
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: we'll talk about the lobby looking great. And then you
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: know what they're going to do? They're going to plan
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: on redoing the lobby again. That's what they're going to
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: do at that point. They say the lobby's 15 years
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: old now. We got to do it again. 800-321-0710, 800-321-0710.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: What are you doing for Labor Day weekend? And have
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: you gotten out of town yet? So I know a
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: lot of people years ago, I remember when I did
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: the morning show at Channel 7, we used to talk
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: about the fact that the Friday of Labor Day weekend
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: used to be the escape time. First it was 5 p.m.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Friday.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Then eventually over the years, because I started doing that
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: show in 2003, So by like 2007, 2008, we noticed
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: that Friday at noon was escape time. Then by about 2015, 2017,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: we noticed that no, no, no, Thursday at 5 p.m.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: That's when people, they all took Friday off and they
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: got out of Dodge Thursday afternoon. Now we're seeing a
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: lot of people are getting off half day on Thursday
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: and they're getting out now so that The AAA is
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: recommending if you are intending on driving out of town,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: the best time to go is right now, between now
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: and like 11 this morning. And then at 11, it
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: starts to get busy till about 2. Then you get
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: a little lull from 2 to 5. Then it gets
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: crazy again after 5. But you're almost better off just
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: waiting till tonight or leaving right now. Just make sure
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: you keep 710WOR on in the car. That's all we ask.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: But it's going to be crazy. We'd love to know.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Give us a call. 800-321-0710. Are you just going to
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: stay put? Or are you heading out of town? If
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: you're heading down the shore or out to the east
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: end of Long Island or maybe up to Connecticut, the
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: beautiful Connecticut shoreline is beautiful, too. We have such beautiful
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: stuff in our area, beautiful places to go. all within
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: an hour or two of no matter where you live. 800-321-0710.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Just got some news in here. The New York Post
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: is reporting that the FBI said that they are investigating
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: a report that tens of millions of driver's licenses belonging
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: to people in the U.S. and Canada, not Canada, where's Canada?
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: It must be near Canada, that these driver's licenses were
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: being sold on the dark web. So there are places
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: on the Internet where creepy people who want to commit
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: nefarious acts go to get data about you, about your
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: driver's license, etc. And apparently this may be connected to Russia.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: The FBI is looking into it. But if the data
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: breach is confirmed, it could be one of the largest
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: ever exposures of government issued identity documents in North America.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: And this will create the risk of identity theft and
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: fraud for tens of millions of people. This is a
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: big deal. So apparently the service is called Nexus and
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: it claims to have tens of millions of licenses for
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: people in the US and Canada and millions of other
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: ID cards and travel documents and hundreds of thousands of
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: medical records. So the question is, how did they get it?
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: And one cybersecurity company suggests that the systems were hacked.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: It could have been by Russia, could have been by
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: other governments, maybe Iran, who knows?
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: China.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: But that our systems, our government, they're saying that the
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: government computers were hacked. So this isn't about the selling
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: of fake driver's licenses. We're talking about your real driver's
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: license data potentially being caught here and sold on the
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: dark web. So you can bet this is going to
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: be big news in the next few days. A lot
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: of people are going to be talking about that. I'm
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: sure the FBI will be doing a lot of investigating.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: 800-321-0710, 800-321-0710.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: It almost feels like every one of us at some
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: point have had our data breached, right? I mean, because
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: I did a search not long ago and I found like, yes,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: your data is on the dark web in 7,226 locations.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: You know, especially being a public figure, somebody who's on
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the air, who's been on the air in New York
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: for decades. People have tried. I can't even tell you.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I remember when I was a news director at Channel 55.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: going back to 19, had to be in the 80s. No,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: it was in the 90s. It was in the early 90s.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I had just become news director there. And I was
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the main anchor at night, the 10 o'clock news. And
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: some lady had called the station insisting that I was
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: her ex-husband, a deadbeat husband, and that I owed her
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: child support. And they put her through to me. I
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: pick up the phone and she said, you've S-O-B, blah, blah, blah,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: you owe us money. And I said, well, who are you?
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: She says, and mind you, let me tell you this.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I used a different name on the air. I won't
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: say what name, but I used a different name on
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: the air at the time. And she was insisting, she
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: basically was extorting me. She said, I'm going to call
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: the bosses and tell them that you skipped Dodge and
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: you owe us money. And you're now working as a
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: TV news anchor there and you're not paying your child support.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to get you in trouble unless you
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: pay us X amount a month. Well, so it was extortion.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: So she did. I threatened her. I not threatened her,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: but I dared her, I should say. And she went
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: ahead and called the bosses. And the bosses called me
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: into the office. And they said, is this true? And
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I said, no, it is not. I took the call earlier.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: But of course, I was a relatively new employee and
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I felt like I was under the gun. This is, again,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: back in the early 90s. We didn't have the data
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: that we have access to today. So I said, while
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I was in the boss's office, she called again. And
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: they put her on speakerphone. And I put up my
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: fingers to say, watch this. And I said, whatever her
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: name was, Joan, let's just say it's Joan. I said, hey, Joan,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: if I was your husband and I owe you child support,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: what's my real last name? And she said, what do
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: you mean, what's your real last name? It's X, Y,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: and Z. She said the name that I was using
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: on the air. And I said, oh, that's my real
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: last name? You sure about that? And that's when the
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: bosses smiled and said, lady, don't call back or we'll
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: call the cops and hung up on her. But that happens.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: People try to take advantage of people all the time.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: And you have to be careful what you put out
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: on Instagram and TikTok. You put your date of birth.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: You put your kids' names. You put your dog's name.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: You put your address. Show the new house with your
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: address on the house in the background. You show the
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: same location you hang out at work all the time.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: People will put two and two together. And if they
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: want to come after you and steal your identity, it's
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: relatively easy to do so, especially younger people. I have
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: friends who have kids who post everything on their social
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: media sites. And they talk about everything. And that just
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: makes it that much easier for somebody to hack you
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: and to steal your identity. So don't let it happen.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Don't make it that easy. You know, I know a
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: friend of mine who changed. He has the wrong birth
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: date on his Facebook page on purpose. But every year
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: people wish him like 800 happy birthdays. Uh, his name
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: is Julian. He probably, he listens. So he, I used
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: to work with him at channel seven. He knows, he knows, uh,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: that I'm talking about him now. Clearly I said his name,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: but he puts a fake birthday and he says, Hey,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I don't mind getting, I get two, two, uh, onslaughts
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: of happy birthdays a year. One from the fake birthday
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: that I post on Facebook and one from the real one,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: but he does it on purpose so that if anybody
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: is trying to steal his identity, that they will have
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: the wrong date of birth and therefore they won't have
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: that little extra bit of information to try to hack
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: into his information.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: 800-321-0710.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: 800-321-0710. It is Ken Rosato in on the Mark Simone Show.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Labor Day weekend starting a little early on a Thursday.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Crime in New York is just out of control. That's right.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I said it. Crime in New York out of control.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I'm not talking about crime nationwide. It's actually down nationwide.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: But Ken Rosato, We just got statistics that show crime
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: is down in New York. The only crime that's down
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: in New York is murders. And murders are down about 20%. Okay.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: But the rest of the crimes, rapes are up. But Ken,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: it's because they're analyzing what is a rape differently. Rapes
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: are up. Period. You look at all the numbers, no
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: matter how you tear it apart, rapes are up. And
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: that's disgusting and horrible. And I have some theories as
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: to why rapes are up. But rapes are up. And
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: then you have all other felonies up. And then you
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: have misdemeanors no longer prosecuted anymore. Because you have the
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: likes of an Alvin Bragg who refuses to prosecute crime.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: When he came into office, he said that was his
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: way of balancing, leveling the playing field. So when people
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: commit crimes, we're no longer going to prosecute. Really? Remember,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: crimes are often committed in areas where people have nowhere
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: to turn, in poor neighborhoods, etc. So when you say
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: you're not going to prosecute people in those neighborhoods, you're
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: subjecting the people who are living in the neighborhoods with
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: more crime. But the way he's selling it is, I'm
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: not going to go after so many people in certain
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: neighborhoods who are disadvantaged. Yeah, but now you're subjecting to
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: the hardworking people in those neighborhoods to having to live
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: around criminals. And that's what the likes of the liberals
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: like Alvin Bragg, that's the way they view life, that
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: there are victims and victimizers and that the people who've
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: been in power up to this point are victimizers and
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: everybody else is a victim. And even if they commit crimes,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: it's okay because as a victim, you're given a pass.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: And so you have crime out of control. So you can't,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: when you look at felonies and rapes around the country decreasing,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: but in New York, rapes went up and felonies are
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: flat year to year. You've got to scratch your head. Yeah,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: murder's down, but you know why murder's down? Murder's down
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: because 2,500, 3,000 people have been deported from New York
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: who were illegal migrants who were gone after by ICE,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: many of whom were murderers. They were murderers in their
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: home countries, and some of them committed murder here. Now,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: you get rid of the handful. You talk to police.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: They'll tell you there's only a handful of people who
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: were murderers. In any society, you know, if there were
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: a million murderers, you'd have tens of millions of murders
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: each year. And we don't have that, thank God. But
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: because there's only a handful of murderers and ICE got
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: rid of many of them, you have murders down. But
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: of course, New York City and New York State being
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: sanctuary locales will never give credit to the likes of
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: ICE for that. But it's pretty obvious. The minute ICE
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: came in and started deporting these people or arresting them,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden murders are down. Well, you know,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: you got to scratch your head. And then you say,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: you say, well, Ken, then, then why are felonies, et cetera?
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Why are they flat? Well, because ICE doesn't handle felonies.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: ICE doesn't arrest you for, I mean, let me clarify that.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: We don't, ICE doesn't handle non-murderers, the big crimes.
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: Why?
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Because New York city makes it practically impossible for ICE
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: to do their jobs because you have the likes of
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: a Mayor Mamdani and a Kathy Hochul running the city
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: and the state. Now for Kathy Hochul to come in and,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: say that all the police in New York State are
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: no longer allowed to help out ICE agents in any capacity. Unless,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: let me make it clear, she says, unless they're actually
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: in the middle of committing a real crime. Well, who
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: are you to say what's a real crime? If they're
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: committing a federal crime, they're committing a real crime. Being
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: here illegally, Kathy, Kathy Hochul, that's a crime. You may
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: not acknowledge that, but it's a crime. If you don't
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: like it, it's very easy. Change federal law. You can.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: We have Congress members in New York State New Jersey, Connecticut,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: change federal law. Very easy. Just go in there and
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: change it. But no. So now you have, I'm sure
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: a lot of folks upset that you have the sanctuary
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: cities and states that coddle illegal migrants. And when they are,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: for instance, when they're being dealt with in local courts,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: they're set free instead of being released to ICE agents
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: to be deported. Now, Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen said, who,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: by the way, I don't know if you saw, he
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: had a little scare with his jet coming into Washington, D.C.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: I believe it was yesterday. His jet was coming in
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: from the Midwest, I believe, and one of its two
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: engines died. So they did an emergency. I mean, look,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: pilots are trained to do a one-engine landing all the time.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: But It's easy for us to talk about while we're
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: safely on the ground. He was midair, but they did
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: a safe landing, great piloting, landed safely in Washington. They
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: got to check the jet to see what was up.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: But nonetheless, getting back to it, Homeland Security Secretary Mark
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Wayne Mullen said on Tuesday that the White House is
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: looking into legal ways to withhold federal funding from sanctuary
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: states and cities that refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: And if you think about it, there are ways to
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: do it. it's one thing if you don't want to cooperate.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: When you start creating laws saying that local police cannot
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: have any interaction with ICE agents, now you're sort of
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: going into that gray area where you're crossing the line
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: and you are now impeding the exercise of law enforcement
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: for federal officers. You are now potentially subjecting yourself to
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: arrest if you're a local official and you're getting in
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: the way. And this is getting in the way of
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: law enforcement from the federal level. So now they're looking
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: at ways of, at the very least, cutting resources to
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: states and cities and then potentially passing laws. Laws can
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: be passed. Congress can pass laws that force local municipalities. No,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: they can't, Ken. There are all sorts of laws. They
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: give states independence with police. Yes, there are, but there
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: are ways around it. There are certain laws that can
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: be enacted that say that if police, basically federal police
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: should have the ability to automatically deputize local police. And
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: in many states it's permitted. In fact, the majority of
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: states do that. Whenever there's, state of Florida, perfect example,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: a case where you have a large number of illegal
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: migrants running around and the federal police, in this case
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: ICE agents, and yes, they are federal police for those
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: liberals who don't believe they are. When ICE agents need
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: the help of the local police, They can go and
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: deputize the local police. Kathy Hochul says that I don't want,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: with her buck teeth, I don't want us to be
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: spending local money, taxpayer money, to help the feds. That's
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: their deal.
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: But think about it this way, Kathy Hochul. The feds
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: are not coming in and taking your local police to
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: another state to help them do their job. They are
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: arresting criminals in your state. criminals who may have broken
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: the law, broken federal law in New York State. So therefore,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: they're not asking for you to be spending money to
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: help them do federal jobs in other states. They're asking
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: you to cooperate so that they can arrest people who
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: are here illegally who have committed other crimes as well.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: And Kathy Hochul is making it practically impossible. And that's
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: where I say the feds have got to step up.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: When you get one governor or mayor in cuffs, and
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: an orange jumpsuit on camera, and you see them arrested
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: like that, you will see how fast they stop their bravado. Especially,
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: I think of a J.D. Pritzker in Illinois, all 800
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: pounds of them. You'll see their bravado about being a
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: sanctuary state stop very quickly.
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: 800-321-0710, 800-321-0710.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: This is Ken Rosato in for Mark. On Thursday of
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Labor Day weekend, 710WOR, we're going to take, let's see,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: we're going to, in the next segment, I always get confused.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: This is the 9 a.m. segment. So the next segment,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: we will talk more about the, we're going to talk
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: about the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. And we're also going
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: to talk about stuff happening with Mayor Mamdani and his influencers.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: And then after that, we will take your calls at 710-WOR.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: It's the Mark Simone Show.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac Studios. Guest hosting for Mark today.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Here's Ken Rosado.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Good to be with you. I just want to go
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: over some numbers here. We got access to a poll.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: You know Mark Penn, he's the big pollster. And it's
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: the Harvard Caps Harris poll, I believe, that he is
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: in charge of. And for August, this is the last
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: few days of August. We just got the numbers out.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Let me just quickly look.
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: So things are not looking as bad for Republicans and
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: for President Trump as you would think. They're not skyrocketing
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: here by any means. But it says midterms horse race
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: remains tight, 51-49, with Democrats holding a two-point lead.
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: But.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: When you look at likely midterm voters, the lead flips.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: It becomes a two-point Republican lead. And that's really what
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: you want, the likely voters, not the people who are registered.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: There are lots of people registered to vote who haven't
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: voted in years. Mark talks about this all the time.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: You want to know the people who do actually vote.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: And I believe to be a likely voter, you had
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: to have voted in the last two elections or something
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: and that you have conviction to vote again. So again,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: among likely voters, it's 51-49 Republican voters. In the lead
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: and less than half of voters say they've made a
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: decision on the midterm vote with 69 percent saying this
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: is overall 69 percent saying they will vote. And half
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: of Americans believe the Democratic Party is being taken over
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: by the far left. That's significant. And that may be
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: holding them back from what should be. If you're a Democrat,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: you should look at the midterms and say this should
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: be a sweep for us. And I think that's holding
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: people back. From just saying, yeah, I'll vote Democrat. It's
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: almost like even if they're not thoroughly happy with Republicans,
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: the devil that you know is better than the devil
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: that you don't. And that's sort of what's happening right now. 800-321-0710.
• 19:39
  Speaker 9: 800-321-0710.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Ken Rosato in on the Mark Simone show today. What
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: do you think about the Lindsay Clancy murder trial in Massachusetts?
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: I heard Larry... talking, of course, with Curtis today about this,
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: and they had a lot of good conversation about it.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I appreciate how carefully they're studying this trial. I caught
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: a lot of it yesterday. And of course, you have
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: the jury deadlocked. Not once, but twice, Judge Sullivan issued
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: what they call a Dewey-Rodriguez charge, a Dewey-Rodriguez charge, which
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: basically is the last shot. It says to the 12-person
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: jury that you're never going to have another jury that's
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: going to be more knowledgeable of this than you. So
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: take your time and in good conscience, really discuss this
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: and try your best. But they may still come back
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: sometime today or tomorrow and say, we're deadlocked.
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: That's it.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Because it could be that there are one or two
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: people who are just locked in and will not change
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: their decision. And remember, it has to be a unanimous decision.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: We're talking about potential first degree murder charges here. So
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: the judge may declare a mistrial, in which case it
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: is likely that they will recharge her and start from scratch.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: That's what the prosecutor has suggested. And I think that's
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: likely what would happen. You have a Pretty heinous crime
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: here in the murder of three kids. And then you
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: have the other side where you're talking about a woman
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: with postpartum issues. And a lot of people saying, Ken,
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: you'll never understand what it's like. And you're right. I
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: never will. And I'm sure she went through a lot
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: of emotional issues. But a lot of women who go
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: through severe postpartum issues don't kill their kids and don't
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: kill anyone. And they may go through the issues, the challenges,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: and they're severe and they're real. They're legitimate. But you
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: got to get to a point where you don't kill people.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: You have to figure it out. And I know easier
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: said than done, right? Easy for me. I've never been
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: in that circumstance. But you just can't justify that because
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: then you know what you'll have? If this ends up
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: being the argument, you will have people who are postpartum
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: using the excuse of postpartum for a lot of things
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: down the line, just like they tried to use reason
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: of insanity for a lot of murders in trials. Hard
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: to prove reason of insanity. But nonetheless, how many people
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: have gotten away with murder over the years because of
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: that excuse? whether it was legit or not. But you
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: have to think about that. 800-321-0710. Cool story, really fast
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: here I want to share. I read in the post
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: there's a group of people called the Bajau, B-A-J-A-U. They're
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: known as the Sea Nomads, and they're indigenous to an
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: area in Southeast Asia. And apparently they spend up to
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: five hours underwater every day now they don't spend five
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: hours at a time underwater but they're in the water
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: for like five hours a day much of that time
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: is diving they could spend up to about five minutes
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: holding their breath i think about holding my breath for
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: thirty seconds and i i feel like uh... and claustrophobic
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: or whatever uh... but they can do it for five
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: minutes and they have no problem so now they've been
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: studied turns out they have larger spleens spleens are responsible
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: for storing and releasing red blood cells, and red blood
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: cells carry oxygen through your body. So if you have
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: a big spleen, then you have an extra store of
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: red blood cells, and if you go diving and hold
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: your breath, your spleen could release extra oxygen through your body.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: So it makes sense. But the question is, which came first,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: the chicken or the egg? Is it that these people
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: with big spleens just automatically found it easy to go
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: diving and holding their breath five minutes, or was it
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: the act of having to dive for your food that
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: eventually led to people who didn't have big spleens dying
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: off and the survival of the fittest, the people with
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: the big spleens survived. I'm always curious with stuff like that.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll take your calls next at 800-321-0710.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Now, nine till noon weekdays, The Mark Simone Show on 710WOR.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Guest hosting for Mark today, here's Ken Rosato.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Had a very good Thursday morning. I'm so used to
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: saying Friday morning because I usually fill in for Mark
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: on a Friday, but he's taken an extra long weekend
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: and well-deserved for Labor Day, so I hope you're enjoying yourself, Mark.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Ken Rosano in Thursday morning. We go to George on
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: the phones. George, good morning to you from Long Island.
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: Yeah, hi. Hi, how are you? Never underestimate the mayor.
• 24:03
  Speaker 10: He's very slick, and he's smart. When he talked about
• 24:06
  Speaker 10: Netanyahu arresting him, he knew from day one. I know
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: I'm not a lawyer, but I was a court clerk.
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: I know a little about it. He knew from day
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: one that could not happen. There's a corporation council, a
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: lot of smart lawyers have been told of that. But
• 24:19
  Speaker 10: he does that to gin up his base, and then
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: he pushed back on it when he said, no, I can't.
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: And he did the same thing about getting people to
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: go out and demonstrate, telling his followers to go out
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: and demonstrate when he comes here, the prime minister of Israel.
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: But there's a thing called a law, reckless endangerment. It's
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: like yelling fire in a movie. If you take an
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: action when you know really should have known, you can
• 24:46
  Speaker 10: cause harm to people. Like if somebody, people got hurt,
• 24:49
  Speaker 10: if there was a riot or something, he'd be held responsible.
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: Now he's cut back on that. So he's a pretty
• 24:55
  Speaker 10: slick guy.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Now that he is with that fake smile and the
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: fake accent, you notice you go online, you'll hear Mamdani
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: speaking to various groups of people in their own accent.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: And you have to wonder, it's almost like the Manchurian Candidate.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: You have to wonder if he was being prepped for
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: this for years. It kind of creeps me out. He
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: speaks to a group of Latinos and he has a perfect,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: he could speak some words in Spanish very well, I
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: might say, because I have a master's in Spanish. I
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: speak it. And then he'll speak to a group of
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: people who are from, say, India and he has an
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Indian accent. He puts on different accents. He's like a chameleon.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: He blends in and wants to be whomever to whomever.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: And you have to wonder what the ulterior motive is.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: He's trying to make you comfortable enough with him that
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: you see through the communism that is in his heart,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: and you see this nice, warm guy with a big
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: smile who's just like me, and he's a nice guy.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: So you've got to be careful of people like that, George.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: I appreciate it. We go to Ralph in Manhattan. Good morning, Ralph.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you again, Mamdani is a good, he's a
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: pretty darn good actor. He's an amateur, but yet he's
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: a pretty darn good actor. He can convince a lot
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: of people. You know, Kathy Hochul was never, she was
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: always middle of the road. She was never this far left.
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: But she's fitting in with the party. And she's doing
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: things that are against the grain when it comes to her.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: If you know anything about her career beforehand, when she
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: was second fiddle, To our friend Cuomo. She was nothing. Ken,
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: she was nothing like she is now. But, of course,
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: to win in 2026 and to go forward, and I
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: think she will win, unfortunately. I hate to be a naysayer,
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: but I think she will win. To win, you have
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: to take up that mantle, the left-wing mantle, and you
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: have no choice. I mean, that's the way the direction
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: is going right now.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: And, you know, the thing is, years ago, Ralph, you
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: got north of, say, even into Westchester County. And then
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: you'd have more purple votes in Westchester. And you got
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: into Rockland County and above. And then you started getting
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: into a red part. Once you got out of, say,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Albany and Syracuse and, say, Buffalo, those areas always tended
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: to be Democrat. But the vast majority of New York
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: State tended to be hardcore Republicans. The problem is the
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Republicans throughout much of the state are sort of wishy-washy, middle-of-the-road,
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: not hardcore, not convicted, older, don't get out and vote.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: They're there, but they just are never motivated to vote.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: And as a result, the Democrats just keep getting elected.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: And here's what you get. Because they stay out of politics,
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: they don't want to be confrontational. You ask them questions. Hey,
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: he's a good guy. She's not so bad.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: Really? Because they're not paying attention, so in their minds,
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: everything is just fine, just Jim Dandy, and this is
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: the problem.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and you're so right. The ICE agent, that's a
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: dirty business. I don't mean it in a derogatory way.
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: You're going to step on toes. You're going to intrude
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: on people. But I'll tell you something. We have to
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: be so stringent about it. If somebody is here illegally,
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: he or she should go back to where they came from.
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: And it sounds very harsh. But if you don't do
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: it that way, if you just say that guy's OK,
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: we'll let him be. But that guy we're going to
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: go after, that's not going to work. We have to
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: be across the board, very stringent on the matter. I
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: believe that.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Ralph, it's because of the last administration letting everybody in.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Now we don't know who's good and who's bad, so
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: you have to assume everybody's bad. That's the thing. But Ken,
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: you can't do that. Well, how else do you find
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: the bad people? This is the problem. Have they vetted
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: people properly? Have they made them go through the proper
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: channels and come in like we're supposed to? We wouldn't
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: have this issue. But it's because the Biden administration quite
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: intentionally flooded the zone. This is the problem we have today.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: And this is the problem. So don't get mad at
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: President Trump. Get mad at President Biden. Had this not happened,
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: had the floodgates not been open, we would have been
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: able to vet people properly, let them get through the process.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I was on Instagram before we came on the air.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: And I was talking about the fact that we let
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: two to three million people into this country legally every year.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Do you know how many people the entire world lets
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: into their various borders every year? If you were to
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: add together every country's admission numbers on the planet outside
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: of the United States, we still let more people in
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: last year legally than they did. Think about that. Hundreds
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: of countries added together. If I hear people say our
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: immigration system is broken, one more time I'm going to scream.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: It's not broken. You just don't want to adhere. You
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: don't like the laws the way they are. written doesn't
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: mean it's broken it means that you're a moron i'm
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: sorry but there it is yeah you.
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: You cannot you cannot have a sovereign nation No nation
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: could ever allow anyone, everyone in willy-nilly, and call themselves
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: a sovereign nation. So I think the cat's out of
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: the bag, meaning that the door was ajar too long.
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: I don't think we could go back, but maybe we
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: can rectify some of this at least, Ken. I hope so, anyway.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: I hope so too. We got 3 million people who've
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: either self-deported or been deported so far.
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Sadly, a lot of good people were also deported and
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: hopefully they apply to come back. I would love to
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: see them come back legally and be my fellow American citizen.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: I would be there at their swearing in ceremony and
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: hug them. I'm not against immigration. I'm sure you're not
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: against immigration. I'm against breaking into my house illegally. I
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: have a problem with that. Ralph, you're a great caller.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: I appreciate you, man. Joe in Staten Island. Good morning.
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: Um, Good morning. I want you to talk about the
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: Clancy case. I'm just curious. She said she heard voices
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: telling her what to do. After she did what she did,
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: she no longer heard the voices. She no longer, she didn't.
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: That was it. It cured her. After she murdered her children.
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: And let me tell you something, Ken. I have four kids.
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: So I didn't ever think of killing any of my children.
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: And maybe you go through a depression. You feel tied down.
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: You feel tired. But murder doesn't enter into your mind
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: at all. I don't understand it at all. People feeling
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: a sympathy for her and not the three sweet children
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: that she had.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: I don't disagree with you. But again, I don't have
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: kids and I'm not a woman. So I've never been
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: through the feeling of postpartum depression. And this is not.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: depression this is i forget what is the condition called
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: that's postpartum psychosis thank you so much i appreciate.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: It right now she's good yeah.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: That is look this is this is something that uh
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: i just killing people whether they're your own kids or
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: not is never justifiable unless your life is in danger
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: sorry and i understand people can be psychotic they can
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: be mentally unstable But I'm sure there are a lot
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: of women through history who had postpartum depression or psychosis
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: who didn't kill anyone.
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: I think it's the trick of the lawyer. He's a
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: very sharp lawyer. And they're using this as the tool.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: You're not wrong.
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: And the only time she sobs... It's when they show
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: her her children and what she did. I just don't
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: buy it. I just don't buy it.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Do you like the way, if I may just step in,
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: only because we're running out of time here, we have
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: commercials coming up, but do you notice that the lawyer
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: made the comment that she's like the greatest mother ever
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: and she loved her kids? Okay, the greatest mother ever,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: I think that's pushing it a little too far. Maybe
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: she was a good mother when the kids were alive,
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: but she did admit that she killed them. So that's
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: something we can't forget. I appreciate the phone call. You're
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: very kind to do so. And we invite more calls.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: We're going to come back right after this break with
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: more calls at 800-321-0710.
• 33:23
  Speaker 11: 800-321-0710.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: It is Ken Rosato for the great Mark Simone at 710WOR.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Now 9 till noon weekdays on 710WOR. Guest hosting for
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Mark today. Here's Ken Rosato.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: And good to be with you. Go back to our phones.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: 800-321-0710.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: 800-321-0710 to Max in Manhattan. Good morning, Max.
• 33:49
  Speaker 12: Good morning, Ken.
• 33:50
  Speaker 9: Thank you for taking my call. This has to do
• 33:52
  Speaker 9: with Syed. Abu Sayyed, remember when he was having that
• 33:56
  Speaker 9: discussion with Jesse Waters? And he's talking about promoting gender surgery.
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: You have to remember, this guy's from Egypt. If he
• 34:06
  Speaker 9: would have went for office in Egypt and he made
• 34:08
  Speaker 9: that statement, they would have killed him. The populace would
• 34:11
  Speaker 9: have killed him in 24 hours.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Because if you're Muslim, men have to be circumcised. That's
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: part of the religion.
• 34:19
  Speaker 9: Well idea of the point that there's no problem but
• 34:22
  Speaker 9: he's talking about the application intended for you you know
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: the penis and testicles and the breast of women.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: But he was if i may i just want to
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: step in just a bit i'm reinforcing what you're saying
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: max and what i'm saying is he was making it
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: sound like well like if you have circumcision it's the
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: same thing as no it's not the same thing circumcision
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: is part of a religious ritual it goes back in
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: judaism and islam islam fifteen hundred years judaism three thousand
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: years It's part of the religion, and we adopt it
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: for many people in the United States as well. But
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: he made it sound like if you accept that, then
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: you accept all, then it's okay. I mean, obviously, making
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: a ridiculous point, he was.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: Can I add something else here?
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 35:05
  Speaker 9: He made the accusation that Christendom or the United States
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: was always in Muslim lands, taking it over. I disagree.
• 35:12
  Speaker 9: If you look at Constantinople, that was originally Christian.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: It was Orthodox.
• 35:16
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: He's wrong. Islam didn't come about until the 5th century.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: You had Christianity for 2,000 years, Islam 1,500 years, Judaism
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: almost 3,000 years. So for him to make that comment
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: is ridiculous. Those are the same people who say that
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Jesus was a Muslim. How could he be a Muslim
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: when Islam didn't come about until 500 years after he
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: died and rose? So it didn't happen.
• 35:38
  Speaker 13: Exactly.
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: Look at Egypt. Egypt was originally about 90% Christian.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: And the Muslims took it over. In fact, almost all
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: the lands that are currently Muslim at some point were
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Orthodox Christian. And at one point it was all Christian.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: That's all it was called before the East and the
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: Western churches split. Max, I appreciate the call. Thank you
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: very much, sir. It is now coming up on 10 o'clock.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: We will take your calls next hour to 800-321-0710. Ken
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Rosato went for Mark on WOR.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Now, 9 till noon weekdays. The Mark Simone Show.
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: On 710WOR.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Guest hosting for Mark today. Here's Ken Rosato.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: And it's good to be with you. Love listening to
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Mark myself. I was listening to him yesterday, maybe? Yesterday,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: the day before, and I was trying to text him.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: It's funny. I hate to text him when he's on
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: the air because I don't like getting texted when I'm
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: on the air. But I heard him talking about somebody
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: had called in talking about Phil Collins. Izzy, you remember
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: the phone call, right?
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: So they had said there was a news anchor and
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: the person suggested it was Sue Simmons. Sue Simmons would
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: not be dating Phil Collins for about 100 different reasons.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: But it was Dana Tyler, I believe, who went. And
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: Dana Tyler, by the way, is one of the nicest
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: human beings. I know I say that about a lot
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: of people. Dana Tyler is truly one of the nicest
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: people you could ever meet. But I know when they
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: broke up, that was tough. She took some time off
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: from Channel 2 because it impacted her so much. And
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: she used to fly to Switzerland, I believe. He had
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: a chalet in Switzerland. She would fly back and forth
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: on her dime. to spend time with him. Um, and
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: it turns out, I believe the story goes the woman
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: whom he divorced and then started dating Dana Tyler, uh,
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: after he then broke up with Dana and went back
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: to the woman whom he had divorced and they got
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: married again, I believe. And then I think they got
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: divorced again. Um, if I'm right, but, uh, you know,
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: everybody has their own story, so I'm not judging, but
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: I know that Dana went through a lot and Dana
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: is one of the loveliest people you will ever meet
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: in the business. Anybody who knows her can, you won't
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: have a person arguing with me on that. Just, well,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: she went through a lot. Anyway, that's just, that's just
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: from my end of it. Having known Dana for, for years,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: she's just a great person. 800-321-0710 is the number to call.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: If you'd like to take part in our conversation today,
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: we talked about, I know the NYPD is pushing the
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: fact that they had the safest summer for shooting incidents,
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: shooting victims and murders in recorded history. They talked about
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: the one little thing. And by the way, I'm a
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: big fan of Commissioner Tisch. I'm a big fan. I
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: remember the first day Commissioner Tisch appeared on a news
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: conference at a news conference on TV. I was at
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: Channel 7. I was anchoring the morning show. This was
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: going back for those for those who don't realize I
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: was the morning anchor morning and midday for 20 years
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: at Channel 7. I'm no longer with them, but I
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: had great years there. I was anchoring the morning show,
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: and Commissioner Tisch was at the time the commissioner of
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: the Department of Sanitation. And it was a snow day,
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: and I looked, and right away, I must confess, I judge, oh,
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: it's a Tisch. It's one of the millionaires. All right,
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: she probably got her job through nepotism or connections and whatever.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: And right away, I was ready to judge her. In
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: my mind, of course, I didn't say it on the air.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: And then she comes up to the microphone, and I
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: was instantly impressed. by how sharp this person was and
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: realized no shut up risotto this woman knows exactly what
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: she's doing and i know not everybody in the n
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: y p d is a big fan but there are
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: a lot who are and i could see why i
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: mean she has gone to bat. Look, she is as
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: much pro-cop as you're going to get, especially under this administration.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: And she, from an administrative point of view and just
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: a New Yorker point of view, I think Commissioner Tisch
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: is pretty darn good. So I am not criticizing her
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: when I talk about this. But you can't deny when
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: you talk about the fact that major crime fell 6.6%
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: citywide in August Down more than 5,000 reported crimes a
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: year to date. Okay. What is the connection to something
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: greater that we're not talking about here? Because New York
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: City and New York State refused to talk about it.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: The fact that 6,200 illegal migrants were arrested in New
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: York City in the last year. And in fact, between 12,
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: depending on the statistic you look at, because the NYPD
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: doesn't want to give these statistics, the federal government says...
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: between 12 and 40% of those people who were arrested
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: by ICE in New York City were responsible for aggravated
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: felonies or multiple felony convictions. So if it is 6,200
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: people and it's 40%, that's 2,400 or so, 2,400 and change,
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: who had aggravated felonies or multiple felony convictions. Well, you
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: pull 2,400 people out of the mix. Mark talks about
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: it all the time. that his connections at the NYPD
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: say about 3,000 or 4,000 people are responsible for the
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: vast majority of severe crimes. In New York, you get
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: rid of those people, you lock them up, which people
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: like Alvin Bragg don't want to do. You lock those
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: people up, crime will be almost non-existent. Because the majority
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: of the 9 million or 8.5 million people living in
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: New York just want to get up in the morning,
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: go to work, take care of their kids, come home,
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: have their dinner, go to bed. That's it. They just
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: want to enjoy life. They don't want to be... Or
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: maybe they're having a tough time and they've thought of crime,
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: but they have an edit button that prevents it. But
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: you have a handful of people to whom crime is good.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: And these are the people that have to be dealt with.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that everybody who is an illegal
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: migrant is a criminal. Clearly not. There are tens of
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: millions of illegal migrants here and only a few thousand
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: in New York who were arrested with felonies.
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: So.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: It's just a small percentage of people. But nonetheless, when
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: you allow 20 million people into the United States without
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: vetting them and say, oh, in seven years, come back
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: to a court hearing. We'll talk about it then. And
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: just let them into the general population without knowing anything
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: about them. You don't know if they've had their shots.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: Here you require Americans to have 72 vaccinations. You don't
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: even know if they had whooping cough vaccination. You know
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: nothing about them. But just let them in. That's it.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: And that's what happens. You then have people who mix
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: into various communities. And now you don't know which person
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: who is speaking Lithuanian. I'm just picking out a name,
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: a nationality and a language in random. Which person who's
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: speaking Lithuanian is a U.S. citizen and which person is not.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: Because now you've let in X amount of Lithuanians across
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: the border who you never vetted. So they just mix
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: into a Lithuanian community. You don't know who's a citizen,
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: who isn't. And so that's the problem. And this was
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: done intentionally by the Democrats and by the Biden administration.
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: Biden was brain dead. I'm sorry, he was brain dead.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: He just let the liberals who were around him do this.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: And you had the people like Mayorkas lying to Congress
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: over and over again. I remember Fox News having a
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: split screen showing on one side Bill Malugin down at
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: the border, In Texas, with hundreds and hundreds at a
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: time of people, migrants coming across the border, just unchecked.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: And then you had Mayorkas on the left side of
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: the screen testifying, saying the border is closed. We have
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: not allowed anybody in. The border is closed. Nobody is coming.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, who are you going to believe, me
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: or your own lion eyes? That's literally what it came
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: down to. You had thousands upon thousands of people just
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: streaming across every day, unchecked. And by the way, we're
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: not just talking Latinos here. Remember, there were Chinese people
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: who were coming across the border at San Diego. Thousands. Now,
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: why would, let's see, I don't think we share a
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: border with China. So think about this. If you could afford,
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: and in communist China, they don't make a whole hell
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: of a lot of money a year. The average person
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: makes about $ 9, 000 a year equivalent to American dollars. So
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: to get on a plane and fly, and I think
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: they need all sorts of government permission as communists to
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: fly out of the country. If you are a military-aged
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: male getting on a plane in China and you want
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: to come to the U.S., why don't you just fly
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: to the U.S.? Why are they flying to Mexico and
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: then sneaking across the border from Mexico into the U.S.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: For what purpose? Just because of better life? I highly
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: doubt that. If you're going to spend that money and
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: take that time and go through the motions of flying
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: into Mexico and then pay a mule to take you
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: up across the border and then they come across the
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: border at San Diego and then walk into the U.S.,
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: there's got to be some, I would think, nefarious reason
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: for that. But the Biden administration, look the other way,
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: just let them in. We don't know how many things
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: Thousands have come across or millions have come across. Again,
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: we're not talking just people who speak Spanish. And by
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: the way, before you think right away, I'm anti-Latino. I
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: speak fluent Spanish. I love the Spanish-speaking peoples of the world,
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: of the several dozen countries where they speak Spanish. I
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: lived in South Florida for years. I have relatives who live,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: we have cousins in Argentina and Brazil. Brazil, of course,
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: is Portuguese speaking. So don't get on my case about
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: Spanish speaking. I love Spanish, but I'm talking about people
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: coming here legally and people not legal. And the vast
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: majority of people who speak Spanish in this country are
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: here legally. And they work very, very hard. And the
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: ones that I know are pissed off at the fact
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: that you have others who came across illegally and they're
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: being given all the fruits of our labor and allowed
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: to come into this country and live life. And we
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: don't know what they bring with them. What baggage, what criminality?
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: We don't know. They could be perfectly great, but they
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: may not be. 800-321-0710, 800-321-0710. So getting back to, again,
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: the New York City statistics showing crime being down this
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: summer so much. Crime is down. First off, the summer's
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: not over yet. Secondly, and I hope it stays the
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: lowest in history. That's great. But look what just happened
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: in the last few days. You have crazies on the
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: street in this city because the city, everybody's full of empathy.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: Why would you want to put these people in jail?
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: Maybe because they have mental illness? Cisneros, the woman who
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: committed the crime, we're not going to say allegedly. She's
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: seen on multiple angles of video stabbing or trying to
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: stab the police. And the police say that she stabbed
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: the other two individuals, the one man in his 60s.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: who is still in the hospital, and the woman in
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: her 30s, the bank exec, just a new mom, beautiful
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: woman with a whole career and a whole life and
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: a family ahead of her, married her law school love,
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: and then went to Fordham right here in the city.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: And all she is guilty of doing is coming out
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: of the subway and walking on the streets in Times Square.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: And she got stabbed.
• 47:01
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: And where is the city? And where are the Alvin
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: Braggs of the world arresting, prosecuting, doing your damn job,
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: you individual. I was going to say, comment on his weight.
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: I'm going to stop because I used to be obese.
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: But Alvin Bragg, you need to do something, sir. Instead
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: of just putting out a manifesto saying that you're not
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: going to prosecute these 800 crimes, which crimes are you
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: going to prosecute, Al? Huh? When you got people who
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: clearly are mentally unstable, you don't have the asylums open
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: up and let them all out. There's got to be
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: an answer. Her own sibling i think it's her brother
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: cisneros brother said that she's mentally unstable and oftentimes wouldn't
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: take her meds well why didn't we know about that
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: and her mother said why didn't the police just try
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: to grab her really because maybe she had two 12-inch
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: kitchen knives and she just murdered one person and stabbed
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: another why should a cop get stabbed as well and
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: somebody i heard say why didn't they shoot a pepper
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: spray gun i won't say the brand on the air
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: pepper spray gun at her and debilitate her and then
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: grab her because if a cop hits her with pepper
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: spray then she's full of pepper spray and and if
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: it doesn't debilitate her by the way she'll still come
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: at the cop but the cop then has a difficult
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: time arresting her because she'll be full of pepper spray
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: the cop inhales that too they don't you know i
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: mean it works just for a second but pepper spray
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: is really meant for the individual to get away from
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: a bad situation So that's why they tase you, not
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: use pepper spray when they try to arrest you, because
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: then it makes it difficult for the cop to come
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: and cuff you because you're full of pepper spray. Think
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: about it. 800-321-0710, 800-321-0710. So on Tuesday, the House of
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: Representatives passed House Resolution 1490, a non-binding resolution introduced by
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: Congressman Jeff Crank of Colorado in order to get on
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: the record those individuals who who support and those who
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: denounce socialism in all its forms. And the measure passed, thankfully,
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: in a 220 to 192 vote. Every single voting Republican
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: supported it. Even eight Democrats supported it. Two of the
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: Democrats voted present. The resolution specifically targeted the Democratic Socialists
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: of America, and it opposed socialist policies and included a
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: call for the passage of the Save America Act. But
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: like clockwork, not only did the vast majority of Democrats
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: not vote to condemn socialism, but they decided to condemn
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: the small handful of Democrats who voted along with Republicans
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: in condemning socialism, specifically Democrats going after those two Democrats,
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: Congressman Jared Golden and Congresswoman Marie Glusenkamp-Perez, because those two
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: Democrats voted with Republicans on a procedural vote that allowed
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: the Republican leadership to then overall advance that huge package
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: that went after socialism. So think about it. A few
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: years ago, all but a few people in the House
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: would have voted to condemn socialism. But this is where
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: we are. And the Democratic Party is today. The Democrats
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: know that their only chance at power is jumping onto
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: the Democrat socialist bandwagon. They know that their ideas are
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: old and tired.
• 50:14
  Speaker 7: They don't work.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: And that the only segment of their party getting any
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: traction is the DSA, because the DSA has been able
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: to motivate young people and excite them because young people
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: apparently are too busy on tick tock. to learn history
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: and see what socialism has done, resulting in tens of
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: millions of deaths around the world through history. It has
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: never worked. It has always, always resulted in the destruction
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: of a country. It has never worked. It works great
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: for the first year or two until you run out
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: of money. And then at that point, everything collapses. If
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: I were a Democrat, I would either not vote at
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: all or vote Republican. I don't know how you vote
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: for the Democratic socialists at this point, especially.
• 50:51
  Speaker 7: If you're Jewish.
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: If you're a Jewish New Yorker or Jewish American, how
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: do you support the DSA, with their platform and their
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: anti-Jewish and anti-Israel stance. Yeah, it's not just an anti-Israel stance.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: In many cases, it's an anti-Jewish stance. I have many
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: relatives who are Jewish, and they tend to be Democrats
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: in my family, those who are Jewish and married into.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: But they are kind of keeping quiet about whom they're
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: going to vote for, and my gut tells me they're
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: either not going to vote or they're going to vote Republican.
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: But at this point, we'd love to know what you
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: have to say about it. 800-321- 0710-800-321-0710. Ken Rosato in
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: for Mark on your Thursday of Labor Day weekend at 710WOR.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on 710WOR. In for
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Mark today, here's Ken Rosato.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: It's so nice to be with you on this Thursday
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: before Labor Day. My dear friend Bill Evans, our meteorologist
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: when I was at Channel 7, 20 years, every year
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: at Labor Day he would say, And don't forget this
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: Labor Day. I don't know why he used to pronounce
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: it that way, but it is now ingrained that whenever
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: I hear the words Labor Day together, I have to
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: think of Bill Evans saying Labor Day. So there you go.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: Shout out to Bill Evans. And he's still around. He
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: lives on the east end of Long Island now. Part-time
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: and part-time in Manhattan still. Good guy. 800-321-0710.
• 52:13
  Speaker 11: 800-321-0710.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: Let's get our busy phones. Joel in Connecticut. Hello, sir.
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: You are on the air.
• 52:22
  Speaker 12: Hello, Ken. I'm good to talk to you. I'm a
• 52:26
  Speaker 12: regular listener.
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 52:28
  Speaker 12: And I enjoy your show very much. I have to say,
• 52:31
  Speaker 12: as a regular listener, I was really shocked to hear
• 52:35
  Speaker 12: you agree with a 70-year-old male caller who matter-of-factly claimed
• 52:40
  Speaker 12: that the Jews killed Jesus. he stated that you kind
• 52:46
  Speaker 12: of passively agreed with him.
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: I must have missed that part of it. I didn't
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: hear that part about the.
• 52:51
  Speaker 12: Oh, yes, it made me hear in the back of
• 52:54
  Speaker 12: my neck stand up.
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm going to go back and play
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: it back. I honestly did not hear that part.
• 52:59
  Speaker 12: I tell you, that's the oldest.
• 53:01
  Speaker 13: Of course.
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: Joel, I was a Catholic priest. Believe me, that is
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: not something that we teach. So I apologize for letting
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: that pass. Had I heard that, I would have jumped
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: on that because I would not have let that go.
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: Let me just publicly say right now that I apologize
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: if you all heard that. Whether you heard it or not,
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: if that is in fact what was stated, I apologize
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: because that was not.
• 53:28
  Speaker 12: Something that I heard. i was so upset so.
• 53:32
  Speaker 13: I'm very sorry i welcome your apology and i welcome
• 53:36
  Speaker 13: your validation of the fact that it was the biggest
• 53:40
  Speaker 13: lie ever concocted and from that lie springs forth all.
• 53:45
  Speaker 12: The anti-fascism of course it does.
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: Of course that's why i would have never let it
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: happen joel please i apologize i married into a family
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: both both sides of my family we have we have
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: jews in.
• 53:56
  Speaker 12: My family there you go we're all mixed Yeah, we're
• 54:00
  Speaker 12: all mixed. We're all the same thing, for heaven's sake.
• 54:02
  Speaker 12: It's all politics other than that.
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: God made the Jews first, so the Christians can only
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: lay claim to our religion based on that.
• 54:11
  Speaker 12: First, you know, don't forget, the first shall be last.
• 54:14
  Speaker 12: And the meat shall inherit the earth, kid.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: Joe, I hope you have the best Labor Day weekend,
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: my friend. I appreciate you listening and calling. All right.
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: And again, I'm sorry for upsetting you.
• 54:25
  Speaker 12: Have a blessed Jewish New Year as well.
• 54:26
  Speaker 5: Amen.
• 54:27
  Speaker 7: Amen.
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: And thank you for that. Happy New Year.
• 54:29
  Speaker 7: Thank you, Joe.
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: Bye-bye.
• 54:33
  Speaker 7: 800-321-0710.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: Robert in Westchester. Good morning, sir.
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Ken. Buongiorno. Come stai?
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: Molto bene. Grazie.
• 54:40
  Speaker 6: Lei?
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: Bene, bene. So my discussion today is with the immigrants
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: or the illegal aliens that are coming into the country
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: and the left that constantly protects them. If you remember
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: when we had COVID and they kept on pushing us
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: to get the COVID shot because they said it's a
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: disease of the non-vaccinated and you're killing us and all
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: that other stuff. Yet just recently they were talking about
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: the shot for or the vaccine for the measles. And
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: where do you think the measles come from? They don't
• 55:21
  Speaker 4: just spring forth from a river. All of a sudden,
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: all these diseases that we eradicated decades ago are now
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: starting to reappear.
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: Robert, you know how many times I've made this argument?
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: And I'm with you. and and especially you know where
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: the measles are occur more in evident any state in
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: the country in texas and it's a hard because of
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: this that the anti-vaxxers no because you have more illegal
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: migrants in texas than any other state because it's the
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: first place they come over to a across the river
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: but if you bring that up to the medical community
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: that tends to be a little more left of center,
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: they will pounce on you and say, no, it's the individual,
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: like the religious groups that refuse to be vaccinated. Just
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: all you have to do is step back and look
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: at the timeline. When we started getting 10, 20 million
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: illegal migrants, suddenly we had an increase in measles cases
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: because we don't know if these people had their shots.
• 56:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: All these diseases.
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: How did this all start? I said, well, what do
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: you think? All these people coming over the border from
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: all over the world and they don't have vaccinations like
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: we do. But the point I'm bringing this up is
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: the Democrats will do anything to pounce on the right,
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: whether it's Trump, whether it's Bush, whether it doesn't make
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: a difference. They will find anything to throw dirt at us.
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: And now what they're doing, Robert Kennedy, because they're saying, listen, just.
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: You know, use common sense or use some logic when
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: administering vaccinations to your kids. Oh, you're anti-vaccine. He's not
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: saying that. He never said that. Just like this thing now, Ken,
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: with the data centers. Data centers have been in our
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: country for years. Now all of a sudden, to me,
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: it's a ploy. It's just another way for them to
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: help the left win around the world, like China, Russia.
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: It's just another way, an obstacle for them to stop
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: our nation from staying on the top. but but if
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: democrats used uh... environmentalist they use everything to throw garbage
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: at us to stop us from doing this that the
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: other things cyclical state the will figure well doesn't will.
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: Have a tree straight away right robert you forgot about
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: the trees remember they used to spike i mean so
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: that if you want to cut down a tree if
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: you're a logger you would get killed the liberals and
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: radical environmentalists and and communists around the world throughout the
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: decades They're just nuts, and their only job is to
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: try to take down mainstream society. Most people, whether they
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: call themselves conservative or not, tend to be conservative. They
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: want to raise their kids in a safe environment, work hard,
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: earn the money, put food on the table, and just
• 57:54
  Speaker 3: call it a day at the end of life. It's
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: basically it. But people tend to think, look, if somebody
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: confronts you, it's easier to talk liberal than it is
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: to talk conservative. Because talking conservative involves an explanation. Talking
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: liberal is a bumper sticker. You know what I'm talking about?
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: I absolutely do. Ken, can I ask one last question?
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: Thank you for letting me have a say. When you
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: speak to, and you don't have to name names, but
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: when you speak to the people who you used to
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: work with, wherever, that were leftist broadcasters, and you say,
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: let me ask you something, Joe Schmo, if they destroy
• 58:30
  Speaker 4: the capitalist engine, the capitalist system, They start throwing monkey wrenches,
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: and you start seeing deterioration in capital, in wealth. Does
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: that make you happy? Does that reinforce your beliefs? I
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: believe in the capitalist system. I'm not rich, never been,
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: probably never will be. I don't hate Musk. I don't
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: hate any of these people. To me, I'm happy they're
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: around because it's because of them that we have a
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: good quality of life.
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: And it gives me something to shoot for. It gives
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: me something to shoot for. It gives me a dream.
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: It's like, you know what? I may never be Santa Claus,
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: but I don't hate Santa Claus. And I look at
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: Santa Claus as the guy that might give me a gift.
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: How about that? Is that a good analogy? I'm sorry?
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: You have children, do you not?
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: I do not, but I have lots of nieces and nephews.
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: Okay, then I'll use that because the same with me.
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: We were never blessed. But now you want them to
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: be successes. You want them to be like another Elon
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: Musk or another J.P. Morgan or another, you know, whoever,
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: this fella that they ran out of the city of
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: New York because– and they did that stupid Pierre Duterte
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: tax to expose him.
• 59:35
  Speaker 5: Expose what?
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: Because he's successful? And that's what I– that's what the
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: people who are moderate and the independents– please look at this.
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: These people are really wolves in sheep's clothing.
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: Robert, all you got to do is look at the
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: fact that since 9-11, 100 million people have been born.
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: And those people don't have... a grasp of history. They're
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: young and they're easily, they're malleable. They're easily manipulated by
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: the left. And we have given away our education system
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: to mold these young individuals. And this is how you
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: get a Mamdani elected in the city of New York. Robert,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: I appreciate the phone call from my home county of Westchester,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: born and raised in New Rochelle. I appreciate you, my friend.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: Have a great Labor Day weekend.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: You too. All right.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios, The Mark Simone Show.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: Guest hosting for Mark today, Ken Rosato.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: And so nice to be with you on a Thursday,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: the Thursday of Labor Day weekend. You are listening to
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: The Mark Simone Show. We like to call it Friday Eve.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: How about that? Friday Eve. Ken Rosato filling in for Mark. And,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: you know, the economy seemed to be humming along pretty
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: well a few months ago. Then came the conflict with Iran.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: It seemed to stall things. Job creation slowed. Gas prices increased.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: Grocery prices did not decrease, at least not to the
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: extent that we were promised or expected. All this as
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: the midterms are creeping up faster and faster. Yesterday, there
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: was a big sell-off of the bonds. So where is
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: the economy headed? Well, one of the best economists in
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: all of America, co-founder of of the Club for Growth
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: Distinguished Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, former Wall Street Journal
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: Editorial Board member, who served as Senior Economic Advisor to
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 3: President Trump's 2016 campaign. And I do believe he's a
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: friend of Jesus Christ himself. We say good morning to
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: Steve Moore.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 4: Good morning thanks so much for the very nice introduction
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 4: and uh by the way you call it friday i
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: call it thursdays a practice friday.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: Oh no i i'm gonna borrow that i like that
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: i like that a lot so now you know better
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: than anyone i mean i'm a novice at this but
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: there was that big market sell-off uh bond market sell-off
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: yesterday and that usually what suggests that investors expect higher
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: interest rates or inflation right.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 4: Yes that's exactly what not a good thing and No,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: but we have something in our hotline today. By the way,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: I hope everyone's getting that newsletter. Just go to UnleashPosperity.com
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 4: and get it for free.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: I hope you're getting that every morning. Yes, I do.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 4: I get it. But anyway, we have something you may
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: not have gotten yet because it just got sent out
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: this morning just about an hour ago. But what I
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: looked at was the current bond rate, the yield on
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 4: the 10-year treasury over the last year, and it's up
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: a lot. It's gone up from– Let's see, what are
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: we at now? It's almost, what is it at now?
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 4: I forget the number, but it's been rising. But if
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 4: you look at the bond rate today on the 10-year,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: if you look at over the last 50 years, it's
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 4: actually slightly below the average of the last. We're at 4.8%
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 4: right now, and we may be headed to 5%, which
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: is bad. We don't want to see interest rates rise
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 4: because that means that the cost of everything from federal borrowing,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: and the United States government is the biggest borrower in
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 4: the world, taking out a mortgage gets more expensive. And
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 4: so I am concerned about that. But overall, I'm pretty
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: bullish on this U.S. economy. I mean, the latest indications
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 4: are that we're seeing a big boost in the economic
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: output this quarter, both in manufacturing, construction, and investment, three
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: of the most important things we want in this country.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: Our technology industries are doing amazing.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: We lead the world in.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: All of the high-tech areas. We have the best stock
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 4: market in the world.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 12: So, yeah.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, look, I get... By the way, yesterday, we
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 4: have two cars, and one of them is an Audi
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: that's a diesel car. And yesterday, I went to the
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: service station. Now, it's not exactly the cheapest service station
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 4: in the world, but you know what cost me to
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 4: fill up my tank?
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: I'm afraid to ask.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 7: A hundred bucks.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: A hundred bucks.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: What is it, like $ 6 a gallon now for diesel?
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 5: Yes. Yep.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 4: So, that's what we're at right now.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 9: So.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: Everybody wants to see gas prices come down. That will happen.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 4: By the way, there's no shortage of oil in the world.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 4: We have massive amounts of oil. It's just the sticky
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 4: problem we've got in the Middle East. But overall, I
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: feel like I actually think this may be the beginning
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: of a boom stage in the U.S. economy as soon
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 4: as we get those oil prices down.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: And, of course, we have oil now in the low
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: 90s per barrel, right?
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 4: Don't say that.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 5: Sorry.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: You just ruined my traffic Friday. I know it had
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: been 83 up until last week, and it just kind
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: of crept up. When I saw that, my heart sank.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: So, you know, you can look at what I do.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: This is a little tip for investors and just people
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: want to know where their economy is headed. Every morning,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 4: and in fact, I'm delinquent, I didn't do it yet
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: this morning, was to check what's happened to the global
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 4: oil price. It was at 82. You're saying it's now
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: up to 90?
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: Is that, Izzy, at the board, you say it's up
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: to 92? Yeah, WTI 92. So there you go.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 4: So that means, you know, we're going to see higher
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: gas prices over the next couple of weeks because when
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: the oil price goes up, obviously the gas price does.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 4: So that concerns me. No question about it. But thank God,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 4: you know, we got a president in the White House's drill,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 4: baby drill. I mean, can you imagine how much the
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 4: oil price would be if we weren't drilling? Do you
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 4: know we're the number one producer of oil and gas
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: in the world today?
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: We're exporting, right? More than anybody else. I mean, that's
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: an amazing thing.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: We export.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: That's an amazing thing.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 4: We actually produce more oil than we consume.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: That's amazing. Now, here's the big question, though. Do you
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: see the economy correcting in time for the midterms?
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: It could be.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: That doesn't sound very effective.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 4: I would have said absolutely yes if you hadn't told
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: me we're at $ 92 a barrel on the oil price
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 6: Sorry.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 4: But a lot of it does depend on what happens
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 4: in the Middle East. And, you know, what I hope
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: to see is that– You know, we have to be,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: one of the reasons I've been so much in favor of,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: you know, total American energy dominance, so we don't have
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 4: to be dependent on the Middle East any longer. I mean,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: for most of your and my lifetime, you know, the
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 4: Middle East has been able to throw the whole world
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: economy into recession and depression by just, you know, choking
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: off the oil supply. So I don't want us to
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: ever be dependent again on Middle East oil.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear that. Nor should we ever, ever. And
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: that's why many in the Middle East are turning to
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: other things, tech sector and things like that, right? But
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: the one thing, as much as people may look at
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: our economy as potentially challenging, and you said, you point
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: out that it's actually in much better shape than we're thinking,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: is that we're still better off than just about any
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: other economy on Earth, right?
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 7: Oh, for sure.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, I can't think of any major economy. There
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: may be some small island economy that's doing well that
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: I'm not aware of. But if you look at all,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: if you look at the European countries, if you look
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: at China, Japan, the UK, every other major country in
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: the world, we're beating the pants off them. Our stock
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: market is through the roof. Let's not forget, the stock
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: market is through the roof. In fact, somebody just sent
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 4: me a chart this morning. We have more millionaires in
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 4: America today than ever before. And these are people used
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: to be middle class people, but they invested in the
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: market and now they have assets of worth more than
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: a million dollars. And it's the numbers are just surging. So,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: you know, if you want to get rich in America,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: you obviously have to work and earn a good paycheck.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 4: But you have to then save and invest. And if
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: you do that, you can become a millionaire in this country.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 4: Nowhere else in the world can you do that.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: And we got about a minute left, Steve. I have
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: to let you touch on. I read your editorial on
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: the Fox News Web site. about data centers and how
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: we're being duped in many cases to think that all
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: week not in my backyard but the dissenters are bring
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: a bone economically duke to a local economy something.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: They they really do it and i uh... there's a
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: story of this little uh... kind of rundown uh... dilapidated
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: town and um... in a rural uh... washington state and
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 4: you know everything was going to go in the wrong
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 4: direction of these leaving and also made open data center
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 4: also my jobs came in the construction Industry started to
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 4: come back, and it rebuilt this little community. We could
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 4: be doing that throughout America. I don't understand your governor there,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 4: Kathy Hochul, saying, you know, we're going to outlaw data centers.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: By the way, the state already has 40 data centers.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, data centers are the construction projects of the future.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 4: You know who are the biggest advocates of data centers
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: right now?
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: Who's that?
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 6: China? China.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 4: The unions.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: I thought you meant outside of the country.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: Where all the jobs are.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 4: I visited our data center out in Loudoun County, Virginia,
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: right outside of Dulles Airport in D.C. I've never seen
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 4: so many construction.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: Jobs in my life.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 4: People say, oh, we need to bring back blue-collar jobs.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 9: There they are.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: And I heard that in Loudoun County, if they were
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: to shut down all the data centers, everybody's property taxes
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: would go up by, what, $ 6, 200 a year. That's how
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: much they contribute to the economy.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So, you know, my feeling is if a community
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: doesn't want a data center, they shouldn't build them there.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: But there are plenty. We have thousands of communities in
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: this country that would love to have the jobs, love
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 4: to have the new businesses. But we got to build
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 4: them because I wouldn't be talking to you right now.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 4: People say, I don't want data centers. I'm like, well,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 4: do you like the Internet? Do you like the GPS
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: system you're using? Do you like using your cell phone?
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 4: Do you like the fact that we have a military
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 4: system that's based on our data? So we have to
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: have them. It would be like saying, well, I want
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 4: my lights to come on, but I don't want electric power.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 3: See, these are the same people who are against having
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: cell towers, but yet they all wanted cell phone actors.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: Go out to the Hamptons. You will not find a
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: cell tower, and everybody whines about the fact that there's
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: no cell signal. Yeah, it's your fault because you refused
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: to have one built. Steve Moore, economist extraordinaire. I could
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: talk to you for hours, my friend. I always love
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: hearing your voice, and now I'm so glad to get
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: to talk to you. It's great to have you on.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: Have a great weekend, folks. Labor Day weekend.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: Amen. Thank you, Steve. Have a great day. Thunderstorms today, though.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: Highs in the mid-80s, but nice for the weekend. That's
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: a good thing. Ray Stajic saying you're going to have
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: a gorgeous weekend for Labor Day weekend. Taking your calls next,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: 800-321-0710 for WOR.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 8: On 710WOR.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: Guest hosting for Mark today. Here's Ken Rosato.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: And nice to be with you on this Thursday before
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: Labor Day. We go to Jacqueline in Brooklyn. Good morning, Jacqueline.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 11: Hi ken good morning i i don't mark but i
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 11: always enjoy when you fill in for him well.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: Thank you i agree i love mark to and uh...
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: i miss him when i'm on how about that because
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: i'd like to listen to the re i listen to
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: the podcast in the afternoon and uh... i miss him
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 3: when i'm on how about that uh.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 11: well that's good uh... you know earlier in the show
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 11: you were talking about uh... how crime is down primarily
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 11: due to those illegal uh... criminal element of immigrants that
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 11: have been committing almost to the crimes uh... is another
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 11: factor that contributes to are the crime numbers being low
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 11: i don't know that they're really accurate because i know
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 11: in my precinct and i'm aware that this happens in
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 11: other precincts as well they purposely do not report certain
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 11: crimes i can tell you of a very specific incident
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 11: that happened in my very neighborhood which is a very
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 11: good neighborhood happened last month actually in July, and the
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 11: captains of the precinct, they get promotions based on the
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 11: crime stats being low.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. And we could get into this. We're unfortunately up
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 3: against the news here. I wanted to get the call in,
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: but you're 100% right. And so many things, so many
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: misdemeanors don't get reported at all. They don't get written
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: down at all. and many minor felonies, if you will,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: if there's such a thing, get dumbed down to misdemeanors
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 3: just for that reason. Jacqueline in Brooklyn, I wish we
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: had more time. Thank you, but you're absolutely right on that.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: It's 11 o'clock now. You're listening to 710WOR.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: Now, the Mark Simone Show on 710WOR. Filling in for Mark,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: here's Ken Rosado.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: So nice to be with you. Happy Labor Day weekend,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: if you're taking it early. A lot of folks are
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: doing that. We looked at a AAA study earlier. We
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: talked about it in the 9 o'clock hour. Apparently, a
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: good chunk of people who are heading out of town
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: have either already left or they're in the process of
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: leaving right now. So that was the suggestion, was that
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: you leave by 11 a.m. Now it's 11.06, so it's
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: a little late. If you haven't left yet, you should
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: probably wait until about two or three in the afternoon,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: depending on where you're headed. And if you haven't left
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: by then, by like five o'clock, it's going to be
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: a nightmare. I think a lot of folks head out.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: When I worked at Channel 7 for 20 years there,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: for those who may remember, I did the morning show
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 3: and the noon show. We used to have our traffic
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: people on and we would talk about how year after year,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: Labor Day getaway started earlier and earlier. So it started
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 3: with Fridays at 5 p.m., then Fridays at noon, then
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: Thursdays at 5 p.m. Now it's Thursday midday when it
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 3: kind of starts. So this is kind of the rush
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: is on right now. I know that when last year
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 3: when I left, I was in this day last year.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 3: And when I left to head back to New Jersey,
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: I want to say it took me two hours to
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: get off of Manhattan Island. Like every New Jersey escape
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 3: at 1230 in the afternoon was just bumper to bumper.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: You couldn't get out. It was, I think the approach
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: to the Lincoln Tunnel was backed up for seven or
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: eight blocks, kind of like the worst of the holiday
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 3: time afternoon drive escape. That's what it looked like at
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: 12 o'clock or 1230.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 7: In the afternoon.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: Anyway, we'd love to know what you have to say
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 11: 800-321-0710. 800-321-0710.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 3: If you're just hearing the voice, you're saying, who is that?
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: Ken Rosato used to be with Channel 7 for 20 years.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: I was with Channel 5 before that, and even Channel
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: 55 before that. These days, I host a show on
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: On New Jersey. That's a New Jersey statewide streaming TV channel, onnj.com.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: You can watch it anywhere in the world, onnj.com. And
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: believe it or not, we get calls from expats who've
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: left New Jersey and live overseas, and they call us
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: in the morning so they could keep up with New
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: Jersey news. But I have a lot of fun. I
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: get to do the show from my home in a
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: studio in the house. And that's always great. The commute
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 3: being going down a flight of stairs after 25 years
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 3: of schlepping into Manhattan every day from Jersey. It is
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: certainly nice having that alternate commute. But we'd love to
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: know from you what you have to say about some
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: of the topics we've talked about. Did you hear that
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: Mayor Mamdani may be using taxpayer dollars to finance a
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: team of social media influencers. So apparently, Mamdani has a
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: team of 200 young people who are targeting mainly Gen
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: Z types, Gen Z and Gen Alpha, using social media.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 3: So many of the people are allegedly getting paid some
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 3: big salaries with your tax dollars. Many, they say, are
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: just influencers that are just doing it because they love
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: the guy. But there are some, at least, who are
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 3: being paid a salary. Now, is this the right thing?
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: And what exactly are they influencing with or whom are
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: they influencing and for what reason? Are you convincing people
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 3: to go with the democratic socialist mindset or are you
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 3: just telling people what's going on in the city? If
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: you are getting paid by the city, you are not
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 3: supposed to be political. You're only supposed to talk about
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 3: official city things. So it'd be interesting to see if
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: they could track anything down about this. But this team
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: is big. No other mayor in history has had a
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: social media team that large. You've traditionally had a press secretary,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: and the press secretary had a team of maybe five
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: or ten people that they dealt with, usually about five people.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: And they answered calls from all the main media, you know,
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 3: channels 245, 7911, etc., and the radio stations and newspapers.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: And that was it. And then they would post a
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: couple of things on social media. What Mamdani has done
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: is he enlisted this team to speak in different languages
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: and go to the different websites that these different language
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: groups of people use. Spanish, Hindi, Urdu, Bangla, using platforms
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: like WhatsApp and TikTok. So you got to think about that.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: And what is the purpose behind it? You have any ideas?
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: Let me know.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: 800-321-0710. 800-321-0710.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: Hey, President Trump, just to tweet the libs some more,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 3: his face is now on the new $ 1 coin. It's
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: a gold-colored coin, although it's not actual gold. It's made
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: with an amalgam of copper and nickel and some other metals,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: but it looks gold. And there were 250,000 of these
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: coins minted. You cannot put them in circulation yet. Even
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 3: though they are valid legal tender, they cannot be used
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: until after Trump leaves office. That's under the law. So
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: federal law says no living or a president who's currently
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: holding office can have money printed with their face, their
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: likeness on it. So they could leave office and then
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: put it into circulation, have it put in circulation, but
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: not while they're in office. So right now, these... Trump
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: dollars are being distributed in sealed cases. So you could
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 3: keep it on your mantle and show everybody and piss
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: off your liberal relatives when they come for Thanksgiving. Say,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: look what I got. And just hear like aunt Joan
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: from Massapequa say, you suck, you stupid conservative. That's the way,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: that's the way she would speak in my mind. At
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: least that's, that's the end I'm thinking of. But they
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: are the 250,000 that they put on sale at the
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 3: U S mint store. went in seconds, literally seconds. They
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 3: had bags of, let me see this, 25 coin rolls
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: and 100 coin bags were priced between $ 61 and $ 154. 50,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: according to the Mint, and they were gone instantly. So
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: that's interesting. So either you have somebody who bought up
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: as many as possible to probably resell them for more money,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: which is I'm thinking happened, or a lot of people
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: got wind of it and, you know, really like the guy.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: According to a current poll that is out, and this
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: is a poll, of course, now I'm going to lose
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: where it is. It's the Harvard, what is it called?
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: The Caps Harvard Harris poll. That's what it is. It
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: is Mark Penn. I'm sure you've seen the pollster Mark Penn,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: the white hair, very good pollster, very accurate pollster. He
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 3: shows that for the last few days of August, Trump's
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: numbers are actually up overall support of 48 percent, which
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 3: is good. It's up two points from a month earlier. So,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 3: you know, say what you want about the man. He's
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: very polarizing, that's for sure. But his popularity is not
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: as low as many people in mainstream media are making
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: it out to be. Some of the more the cheese.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 5: Polls.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 3: Mark talks about the college polls and stuff that are
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 3: not financed by serious groups. Now those polls show them
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 3: in the, in the mid thirties, but the more serious
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 3: polls have them in the mid to upper forties, especially among,
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 3: among Republicans. He's into the sixties and seventies and support
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 3: some cases higher. And, um, I think it's all going
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 3: to depend on what happens with the economy. For everybody,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 3: their day-to-day stresses based on the money they have in
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 3: their pocket and how you treat your family and your friends,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: all the mood that you're in really comes down to
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 3: can you get the bills paid and how hard are
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: you working and do you have to work that second
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: or third job to make ends meet? Or if you're
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 3: on Social Security at this point, are you able to
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 3: stretch that check? For the month or are you now
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: finding that by the third week you're having to tap
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: into savings and those are real life problems and those
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 3: are that's where people will either love or hate you
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 3: as an elected official because what you do and your
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: influence in office has a direct impact on real people's
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: real lives. What do you think about that? 800-321-0710. 800-321-0710.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 3: You could also download the iHeartRadio app, by the way,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: if you haven't done that. Very easy to do. Download
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: it and you could listen to WOR anywhere in the world.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: Just download the iHeartRadio app and go to 710WOR. There
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 3: you go. You stream us anywhere you get the internet.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 3: This is Ken Rosato, formerly from Channel 7 and Channel 5,
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 3: in for Mark Simone. On your Thursday, Mark is off
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: for a nice long weekend. We'd love to hear what
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 3: you have to say. By the way, Homeland Security Secretary
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 3: Mark Wayne Mullen, he announced on Tuesday that the White
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: House is now exploring legal ways to withhold federal funding
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: from sanctuary cities and states that refuse to cooperate with
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 3: immigration enforcement. You got to scratch your head and say,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 3: where were these people doing this two years ago? Should
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 3: have been doing it from day one. He was on
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: the Ingram angle on Tuesday night with Laura Ingram. And
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 3: he said that there have been more than 2,100 illegal
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 3: migrants arrested in New York City alone of late. And
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: that Immigration and Customs Enforcement will continue deportations despite all
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: the sanctuary restrictions. And people like Kathy Hochul, the governor,
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: making it all but impossible for ICE agents to do
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 3: their jobs in a blue state like New York. You know,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 3: the blue state governors and blue city mayors are gullible.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 3: kind of crossing the line into impeding the actions of
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 3: federal agents. And I think they're getting pretty close to
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: a point where Mark Wayne Mullen can issue orders of arrest.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: Because when you get to a point where you're telling
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 3: local police that, okay, you're holding a person who committed
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: a federal crime, you're holding them for something else, but
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 3: you can't let ICE agents near them. I'm sorry? The
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: ICE agents are police just like you are. And if
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: this person is guilty of a crime, they have a
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: right to arrest them. Get out of the way, Kathy,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: and don't order your police to do something illegal. Remember,
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: there is something called the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: which superimposes its authority over local authority. And so once
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: you cross that line, that's when you open yourself up
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 3: to potential arrest, Kathy Hochul. Don't forget that. I would
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: love to see a person like, I'm not saying Kathy herself,
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 3: but a person like Kathy Hochul, who pushes ICE just
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 3: a little too far to see them in an orange
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 3: jumpsuit handcuffed for breaking federal law. You do that one time,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 3: you have one person like that under arrest, you'll never
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 3: see a local official or a state official doing it again.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 6: Guarantee.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 3: Because they all talk a great game when they think
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: they're insulated by the state police and protected until they
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 3: get hauled off in cuffs. And believe me, the state
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 3: police are not going to do anything to protect you
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 3: from the federal police. Trust me on that one.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 9: 800-321-0710.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 3: The number to call. I don't know if you heard
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 3: about this Congressman Brandon Gill. Love this guy. He's a
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 3: guy who looks a little like Superman. Very young congressman
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 3: from Texas. His hair, he has this little flip of
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 3: hair in the front. Looks very much like Christopher Reeves
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 3: did in the original Superman. He just unveiled a bill Thursday. Oh,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 3: this morning. I thought it was last Thursday. No, it's
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 3: this morning. That would end snap use of money. in restaurants.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 3: Let me explain that. So if you're on food stamps
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: in many States, you can take your EBT card, which
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 3: is basically what, you know, the years ago, you actually
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 3: got a physical food stamp today. You get a, what
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 3: looks like a debit card and basically is a debit card,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 3: but it's the money that would be on food stamps
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 3: years ago, loaded onto the card. Well, you're supposed to
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 3: use that for food for yourself and your kids, right?
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: And it's meant, it's not meant to feed an entire
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: family every meal, every day. It's meant to bridge the gap, uh,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 3: you know, a lot of people say, Oh, you only
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 3: get this on food stamps. Well, yeah, it's not supposed
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 3: to be three, three meals, seven days a week, 365
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 3: days a year. It's supposed to, you know, I'm 50
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 3: bucks short. I can't afford, uh, you know, vegetables or fruit,
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 3: or I have zero meat in, you know, okay. That's,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 3: and that's what it's for. And there are a lot
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 3: of good people who genuinely need that. And this is
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 3: why it breaks my heart when I see people abusing
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 3: it because the people who need it then get the
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 3: bad rap for the people who are abusing it. Um,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 3: you have people in California, mostly 90% of these people
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 3: are in California using their EBD cards in formal restaurants.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 3: You heard me. So they're going out to cafe du
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 3: monde and they're sitting down and they're ordering a nice meal.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 3: And then they put down what looks like a, just
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 3: a credit card. And that credit card is their food
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 3: stamp card. And they're paying for their expensive meal with
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 3: your tax dollars. That's where you cross the line. I'm sorry.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 3: So now Brandon Gill is trying to pass a law
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 3: that makes it illegal to use. I guess it would
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 3: block the use of your EBT card anywhere outside of
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 3: a store that is selling food. Now, the problem with
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 3: that is there are some moms who for a quick meal,
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 3: they'll go to McDonald's and use the EBT card. I
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 3: don't have a problem with that every now and then.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 3: As long as you're feeding your kids nutritious food the
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 3: rest of the time, you're working hard. You're trying to
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 3: take care of the kids. You need a quick solution.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 3: You go to McDonald's with the EBT card. I get it.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 3: That's fine.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 3: but people who use that card the wrong way really
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 3: upsets me and how you feel about that apparently again
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 3: ninety percent of the abuse is happening in the state
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 3: of abuse california uh... if i think of the five
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 3: hundred and seventy five million dollars of ebc card use
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 3: in restaurants four hundred seventy five or more million i
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 3: read in the statistic is in the state of california
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 3: in new york state it's only about three three-and-a-half million uh...
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 3: and again by restaurant, we don't mean necessarily a formal place.
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 3: It could be just a fast food place. So they're
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 3: not spending a thousand dollars at Mickey D's. They're going
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 3: for 20 bucks for a quick meal for the kid. Uh,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 3: but in California, they apparently are doing something a little
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: more nefarious, but we'd love to know what you have
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 3: to say about it.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 9: 800-321-7000.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 3: 0 7 10 800 3 2 1 0 7 10.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 3: The number to call. And you are listening to the
• 1:25:58

• 1:26:02

  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show, live from the WOR LifeVac Studios.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: Guest hosting for Mark today, here's Ken Rosato.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 3: So nice to be with you as we kick off
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 3: Labor Day weekend a little early on a Thursday. Let's
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 3: go to our friend Vincent in Brooklyn. Good morning, Vincent.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Ken. I disagree with the crime statistics. I
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 5: believe that they were read at 10 o'clock or 11
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 5: o'clock hour. I believe that they play with those numbers.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 5: In fact, I had a friend, he's deceased now, 50
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 5: years ago. He was a cop, and they were jiggering
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 5: the numbers 50 years ago. I don't believe that in
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 5: the least. Every day you hear about some horrible incident
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 5: like that poor woman and that man that got stabbed
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 5: in Times Square yesterday. By the way, that woman was
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 5: returning to work. She was the VP at Bank of America.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 5: My friend's wife. 15 years ago, retired from that position.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 5: She was the VP at the Bank of America in Manhattan.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 5: Every day we hear these in the press or wherever
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 5: we hear these horrendous stories. And then at the top
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 5: of the hour, oh, crime is down. That is such
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 5: a crock. And as far as all these illegal aliens here,
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 5: I think Trump could do a better job. And this
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 5: is the reason why I say that. even if he
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 5: gets three or four million out of the country by
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 5: just concentrating on the hardened criminals, which I don't think
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 5: he should only do that. I believe wherever they are
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 5: in my neighborhood, they're construction sites where if you sent...
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 5: Just an ICE agent with a windbreaker that said ICE
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 5: on it with two armed ICE officers and a clipboard,
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 5: you'd see them scatter out of the building like cockroaches
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 5: because in all of the non-union construction jobs, the deal
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 5: is that anything over five families that is going up,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 5: That's a union job. Or below that, you've got a
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 5: couple of guys who may be regulars, all the regulars.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 5: of them, those guys on those jobs, they go shape them.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 5: Those jobs are all shaped. The contractors go to Sunset Park.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 5: They go to various places. Home Depot, they pick them
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 5: up and they work for a day. And also, I
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 5: know this because None of those people are wearing hard hats,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 5: safety vests, safety shoes. They're also an insurance hazard.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 3: You know what gets me, though? Can I pause you
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 3: one second?
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 5: Go ahead, please.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: I know that the contractors are going to say, well,
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 3: in order to afford to do X, Y, and Z,
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 3: we'd have to pay people X, Y, and Z, etc.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 3: But it's not like they're not charging money at these
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 3: construction sites. They're charging a prime dollar in New York City.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 3: So I think they're full of baloney.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 5: Ken, I heard that failed mayoral candidate one time, Curtis Sliwa,
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 5: say that if they would go in the restaurants and
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 5: arrest all the busboys and chase them out, the meals
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 5: would skyrocket. You're already paying $ 30 for a plate of
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 5: pasta with red sauce. that it's lucky if it costs
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 5: the store 50 cents to make. So if you want
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 5: to eat in those restaurants, my attitude is have them
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 5: hire Americans in there, even the busboys and the waitstaff.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 5: If you're paying $ 30 a plate for pasta, pay $ 35. Yeah,
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 5: I'm with you.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 7: Let's do it legally.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 3: Vincent, here, just to reinforce what you're saying, the New
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 3: York Post has a stat. Of course, now I just
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 3: lost it. I had it a second ago. Here, the
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 3: stat says that in New York City, let me get this.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 4: Here we go.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 3: New York City sees unsettling 206% jump in felony assault
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 3: arrests of repeat offenders. So here, of course, they're promoting
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 3: whatever little statistic that they may have manipulated, whatever way
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 3: they did. to make it look like crime was down
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 3: this summer. But then you don't see this. It was
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 3: on the back page. New York City saw a jaw-dropping 206%
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 3: spike in felony assault busts for repeat offenders over the
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 3: past eight years. According to those same new statistics, they
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 3: apparently arrested 263 criminals who've been arrested three or more times.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 3: So they keep going through the system. Mark talks about
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 3: this all the time. His police sources tell him, if
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: you just round it up, you know this. You rounded
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: up the 2,000 to 3,000 bad guys in New York
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 3: City and kept them behind bars. You wouldn't have crime
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 3: in this city.
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 5: Exactly. And just another thing. I hear Steve Moore talk about, oh, brah,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 5: inflation's now 2%, 3%. That's a bunch of baloney because
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 5: this has benefited Republican administrations as Democrats. They don't count
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 5: food and fuel. And the other day I heard a
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 5: real statistic where they did factor in food. food and
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 5: fuel and the real inflation rate is about thirty percent
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 5: you look at the with the fact that hamburger meat
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 5: course dead odd double canned goods course double now are
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 5: store brands of canned goods and frozen goods cost as
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 5: much as the name brands used to cause four.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 3: Years trying to stake You see what steak costs?
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 5: I'll forget about it.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 3: It's $ 20 for a little choice cut of whatever. I
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 3: was like, are you kidding me?
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 5: You're talking about two shell steaks that maybe at best
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 5: come to a pound. You're looking at $ 20 easily.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 7: That's it.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 3: Vincent, I could talk to you forever. I appreciate the
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 3: fact that no matter what side politically, you are always
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 3: on it and always probably one of the best read
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 3: people who ever calls into radio. I appreciate that.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 5: Chris, I call it like it is. I criticize both sides.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 3: The way it should be.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 5: I look at the facts and figures. Ken, I'm a businessman.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 5: You have a great weekend. Great speaking to you again.
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 7: Always a pleasure.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 5: And I'll be listening tomorrow.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much, Vincent. Enjoy your Labor Day weekend,
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 3: my friend.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 7: Take care.
• 1:32:37

• 1:33:07
  Speaker 14: come from the same neighborhood.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 3: So wait, let me pause you. So, Mara, you're saying
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 3: you're in your, what, 90s? Oh, God bless you. My
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 3: dad is your age. And dad, too. Dad is sharp
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 3: as a tack, too. Just like you. You sound great.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 14: Well, I feel great. Thank you, God. But, you know,
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 14: my kids and Vincent were communion, first communion, same church, confirmation,
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 14: junior high. Know the same people. I talk to Vincent
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 14: at least once a week. I love him so much.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 14: But can he, unless you, I came to New York,
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 14: we had lunch at Patsy's and we saw Mark. It
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 14: was a wonderful afternoon.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 3: Mark's good people.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 14: Can I go on with this, Lacey? Do I have
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 14: time to mention her?
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 3: Sure, we got about 30 seconds.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 7: So go ahead.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 3: I'll just, I'll sit back.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 4: Go ahead.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 14: Okay, if she had killed, in her state, if she
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 14: had killed the family pets, the dog, the cat, in
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 14: 15 minutes that verdict would have come back guilty, murder
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 14: in the first degree. She killed innocent animals. You mean
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 14: these people, so rare for a mother to kill three.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 14: If I was her, you know what I would say?
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 14: Kill me. Kill me. Because for the rest of my life,
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 14: every hour, I'm going to go over.
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 3: Well, she did try to commit suicide. She did try
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 3: to commit suicide.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 14: Oh, baloney, commit suicide.
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 5: She's a nurse.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 14: She knew where her jugular vein was.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 10: She missed it.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 3: Mara, you are sharp as a tack, my friend. I

  Speaker 3: You're a good lady. Good, good lady. Thank you for
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 3: calling in, Mara. 710WOR, the voice of New York. Ken
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 3: Rosato in for Mark. It is 1134, and here is...
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 3: Who do we have? Daria, you're still doing the news.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking we shifted over yet. You stuck with me
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 3: for a while. No, and I love being stuck with you.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 6: Likewise.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: How are you doing, Ken?
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 6: Good.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 3: We'll hear tomorrow. You're back tomorrow.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 7: Yes, I am.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 3: I get to, I get to haunt your studios again tomorrow.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 3: My pleasure.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: Now nine till noon weekdays on seven, 10 W O R.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: Guest hosting for Mark today. Here's Ken Rosato.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 3: So nice to be with you on the Thursday of
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 3: Labor Day weekend, 800-321-0710, the number to call. But I
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 3: don't know if you heard about this. A study by
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 3: NYU Langone surveyed hundreds of older adults in New York City,
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 3: showing that roughly 60% of people age 65 and older
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 3: admitted they get stoned just for fun, outnumbering those who
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 3: partake in the use of marijuana for chronic pain. or
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 3: to relieve tension or help sleep. Now, stoner seniors have
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: stunned cannabis shop workers because they often go in and
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 3: they say, I need the strongest stuff you got. Dr.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: Christopher Taylor is a mental health expert who heads up
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: the Taylor Counseling Group. It's based in Texas, and he's
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 3: here to talk about stoner seniors and more. Good morning, Dr. Taylor.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 7: Good morning, guys. Thanks for having me.
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 3: Well, it's great to have you on. This is Ken Rosato,
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 3: and just for the record, for Mark Simone, he would
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 3: normally be here, but I know he would have wanted
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 3: to talk to you about this, too. So for years,
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 3: people have claimed that marijuana was innocuous, that it wasn't harmful,
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 3: it wasn't addictive. But we're learning that especially with the
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 3: new strong stuff today, that's not the case, is it?
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 7: Well, that's true. Yeah, it can be addictive if you're
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 7: doing it regularly.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 15: Daily use, which we now see 17.7 million Americans are
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 15: saying they're using marijuana daily or near daily.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it can be. I mean, it can be
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 3: used properly for medicinal purposes, correct?
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 7: That's correct, yes. Yeah.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 3: So what's going on in New York? Is it just
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 3: the older folks in New York have decided they were
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 3: just going to go hog wild with it? Or what's happening?
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, I think it's legal now.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 15: And so if you're older, you're an adult, you kind
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 15: of have your life together and you're just like, or
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 15: you're retired and you just want to get high every day,
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 15: I guess that's probably what's going on.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 3: But when it gets to that point, when you're getting
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 3: high every day, I mean, it's kind of like, you know,
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 3: 20 years ago would have been the two martinis every
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: day kind of a deal. When it gets to be
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 3: a daily thing, that's when it becomes a problem, isn't it?
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's true.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 15: So what we want to watch out for is Can
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 15: you stop for four weeks without having urges or cravings
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 15: or something like that?
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 7: Then you're fine.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 15: But if you get to a point where you're using
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 15: it every day, addiction is very possible.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 3: And now, just so that everybody knows, you're a doctor
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 3: of counseling, correct? A PhD of counseling? That's right. So
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you see a lot of people who have
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 3: challenges and addictions like this in your practice.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 7: Oh, yes.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 3: So when you when you see, say, or read a
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 3: study like this from NYU Langone, that 60 percent of
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 3: people age 65 and older are doing this on a
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 3: regular basis and saying it is strictly for fun. What
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 3: is what is the draw? Is it because the cannabis
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 3: shops are everywhere in New York now or are they
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 3: just decided, hey, what the heck? I got disposable income.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, maybe both, I think.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 15: If it's legal where you are, then the price has
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 15: gone down a lot and it's very accessible.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 7: You know, when it was illegal, it was less accessible.
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 15: You could still get it wherever you wanted to, but
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 15: I mean, you know, your choices were much, much smaller
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 15: and you didn't really, there was a little taboo to it.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 15: You're doing something illegal, right? But now it's legal, right?
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 15: In a lot of states, most states, right? So you
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 15: can just walk across the street. buy a bag for
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 15: like 20 bucks and come back to your home and
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 15: you know get stoned the thing is together with some
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 15: friends and get stoned yeah.
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 3: In new york city unfortunately they're not coming home they're
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 3: doing it right out in public and you smell it
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 3: everywhere doc it's it's not the most pleasant smell and
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 3: it's so funny because i'm so naive to this i've
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 3: never held a joint in my life and i mean
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 3: that i'm not condemning anyone who does or who has
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 3: right i just never have and so the first time
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 3: i went to high school and college in manhattan but
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 3: i was raised born and raised in suburbia First time
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 3: I smelled it, I was like, what is that? It's
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 3: somebody burning a skunk. I had no idea. But now
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 3: it's everywhere. You can't escape it. You walk out of
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 3: our building here in Midtown and you smell the stench
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 3: everywhere you go to the point that I was in
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 3: a ride share. It was a group ride share where
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 3: you take a ride with somebody else. The other guy
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 3: who was in it when I got in was reeking
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 3: of it to the point that I think I had
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 3: a contact scent. Like, you know, there was that Seinfeld
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 3: episode where they thought the funk transferred from the cabin
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 3: to them. Everywhere I went, I thought people were looking
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 3: at me like I was smoking pot, and I've never
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 3: smoked it.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 4: In my life.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 3: But now, the other... Go ahead. I'm sorry, Doc.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 15: Well, that is a concern. So, if you are going
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 15: to use marijuana recreationally, please do not drive. Do not
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 15: operate machinery. Treat it just like alcohol. Treat it as
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 15: if you were drunk, because, you know, that is a
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 15: DUI waiting to happen.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I have friends who smoke pot. I don't
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 3: have a problem with it, doing it at home, you're
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 3: doing it at night. I do not have a moral issue.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 3: I'm very libertarian when it comes to that stuff. As
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 3: long as you're not doing it in front of your
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 3: kids and you're not putting off your responsibilities, or as
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 3: you said, you're not driving or you're not at work,
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 3: those are the keys. As long as you're not doing
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 3: something essential and important at that point, then have at it.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 3: Because it's hard to justify... being able to go home
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 3: and have a cocktail, but not being able to go
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 3: home and have a joint. I can't make a valid
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 3: argument for one versus the other.
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 15: Well, I would say the one argument would be that
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 15: one drink is not going to get you trashed, right?
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 7: But taking an edible, you might not know how much
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 7: is in it.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 15: And that can really hit you hard and it can
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 15: sneak up on you and it can last for a
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 15: long time.
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 3: Well, that's good to know. When the day comes, I
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 3: will know that. I will make a note of that.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 3: Be careful having the bag of edibles. That's probably not
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 3: a good idea. Look at that. I've just had four.
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 3: Let me have four more. Nothing has happened yet. Then
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 3: I'll be sleeping until Thursday.
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 7: That does happen, yes.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 3: My goodness.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 7: That does happen. Well, people wake up in the ER.
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 3: Yikes. That's not good. And of course, I know we've
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 3: had incidents of kids getting their hands on some of
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 3: the gummies that look like real candy, correct?
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 15: Well, that is a real concern as well, especially for
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 15: our seniors who might be grandfathers or grandmommies. Think about
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 15: your grandkids. If they are coming over and you got
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 15: some recreational marijuana in your house, you want to lock
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 15: that up, put that away because they will find it
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 15: and they will think it is candy and they will
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 15: eat it.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 7: And we see that's a growing problem right now in
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 7: the U.S.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 3: Now, as a doctor of counseling, do you have patients
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 3: who come in whom you could recommend edibles and marijuana to,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 3: to help them stabilize and be calm? Or is it
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 3: something you try to get them away from? Is it
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 3: more of an issue of addiction than anything else?
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 15: Well, unfortunately for me, I'm in Texas, so there is
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 15: no access to marijuana for us of any kind. We'd
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 15: have to leave the state. So no, I would not
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 15: advise any of my patients to break the law. If
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 15: they are on some kind of prescribed You know, THC
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 15: for sleep or something like that by a medical doctor,
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 15: I'll just refer to the medical doctor for their recommendation.
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 15: But we do, I mean, if they are struggling from addiction,
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 15: I do want my patients to be 100% sober from everything. Otherwise,
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 15: they're just masking the issue a different way.
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's interesting you say that. We just
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 3: had this story about Brad Pitt. who had been struggling
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 3: with alcohol disorder, alcohol use disorder. We used to call
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 3: it alcoholism, right? Today, it's maybe a more user-friendly term.
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 3: And he suddenly, after years of sobriety, says, oh, I
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 3: can go back to drinking a little bit. Can people
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 3: really go back to drinking a little bit if they've
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 3: been addicted?
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 15: Well, we find that there's typically two types of dependence
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 15: for individuals. One is going to be yeah, I can,
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 15: I'm using this substance to mask an emotion, to deal
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 15: with a problem, however deep that might be. Once that's resolved,
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 15: then yeah, I can develop some sobriety. Maybe I can
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 15: go back to normal, regular use, right? And then there's
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 15: just the kind of individual, that's actually my best friend.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 7: He's been sober for 11 years now.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 15: And I asked him once, I said, you know, do
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 15: you ever see yourself drinking again?
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 7: And he said, no, not really. And I said, well, why?
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 15: And his response was, because I don't want to wake
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 15: up on the floor in Vegas, you know? So he's
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 15: just like, there is no middle ground for him, right?
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 15: It's zero or we're gone.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 3: I have several friends who are exactly that. And one
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 3: of them who's been, I guess, 10 years plus sober said,
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 3: the minute I have that first drink, I'm going to
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 3: go back to drinking 40 ounces of vodka. And that
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 3: stunned me when I heard that. I'm thinking, you've been
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 3: sober 10 years and that's how much you would do.
• 1:43:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, the fact that anyone could drink 40 ounces
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 3: of vodka got me. But the fact that he would
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 3: say that really got me. And would that be the case, like,
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 3: with your friend?
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. That's the case with my friend. But then
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 7: there's other people.
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 15: I've had patients before that, you know, say they had
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 15: a death in their family and they used alcohol to
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 15: deal with that or marijuana to deal with that instead
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 15: of grieving. Uh, years go by, they end up going
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 15: into some kind of treatment facility, uh, to deal with
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 15: the addiction. Uh, they work through it, they conquer it,
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 15: they come out the other side, they've dealt with the grief,
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 15: they've dealt with the loss, and then they're able to
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 15: go back to the normal lifestyle.
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 3: Well, it's something you should really, if you've been sober
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 3: for a while, definitely talk to your doctor and your
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 3: family before you decide to dabble again.
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 7: Absolutely, yes.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 3: You don't want to have to fall off the wagon
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 3: after all those years of hard work. So, doctor, if
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 3: somebody wants to reach out, find more about you, you
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 3: have a website?
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 15: I do, taylorkounselinggroup.com, and you can find my book as well, youareherethebook.com.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 3: I love it. Dr. Taylor, thank you so much for
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 3: being on with us this morning. Taylor Counseling Group based
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 3: in Texas. Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 7: It was my pleasure.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 5: You as well.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 4: Thanks.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 3: Thank you, sir.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 11: 800-321-0710.
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 3: The number to call. We'll take your calls coming up next.
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 3: This is Ken Rosato and for Mark on WOR.
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 2: Now nine till noon weekdays.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on 710 WOR. Guest hosting for
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: Mark today. Here's Ken Rosato.
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 3: And so good to be with you. We go to
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 3: our busy phones right now. Rocco in Bergen County. Good
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 3: morning to you.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 16: Morning, Ken.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 3: How are you, sir? What would you like to talk about?
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 16: Real quick, Ken, I know you're up against it. A
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 16: couple of things. Number one, I wouldn't listen. I'm 73
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 16: years old, and I got to know Mark pretty well
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 16: over the years. I worked at the Meadowlands Arena until
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 16: it closed, and we used to always have every June,
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 16: we always had the oldie show, and Mark was always there.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 16: He was very good friends with Richard Nader and his wife,
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 16: who were very nice people.
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 12: Well, anyway.
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 16: Mark had a call a couple of days ago. I
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 16: think it was Wednesday. Some guy called up and said, well,
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 16: you know, why are they taking the statue down of
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 16: Stonewall Jackson? When the war was over, he tried to
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 16: help the slaves. Well, if you maybe learned your history,
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 16: Stonewall Jackson was killed second year of the war by
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 16: friendly fire. So he was never there at the end
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 16: of the war. Interesting. Once again, they don't teach these
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 16: kids anything anymore, Ken.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 3: No, they don't. No, they don't, unfortunately. Well, just like
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 3: we had callers, people who were saying that Jesus was Muslim.
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 3: Consider it, Islam came 500 years later. This is not
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 3: about Muslim-Christian-Jewish relations. It's about history. It's just reality. If
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 3: Islam didn't come until 500 years later, come on.
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 16: You know, Ken, it's all part of the revisionist. We
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 16: didn't drop the bomb on the Japanese to win the war.
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 16: We did it to show the Russians that we had it.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 16: Don't you know?
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 3: Of course. That's the way the revisionists want it to be.
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 3: But that's always going to be the case. They always,
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 3: always try to rewrite history. And then, unfortunately, people latch on.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 6: Well, look.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 3: Look at 9-11. Look at 9-11. The fact that we have, Rocco,
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 3: over 100 million people who were born post-9-11-01. 100 million
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 3: in the United States. That's a crazy statistic. When I
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 3: heard that number the other day, I couldn't believe it.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 3: I thought maybe 30, 35 million. 100 million. A third
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 3: of our country, Rocco.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 16: Ken?
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 16: I was born on 9-11.
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 3: But not 01.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 16: But here's the funny part. When I tell people that,
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 16: I say, well, you know what? The reaction that you
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 16: folks have is the same as the people had if
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 16: you told them you were born on December 7th.
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 3: And that's... This is true.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 12: There you go.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 3: Hey, Rocco, I've got to cut you because we're up
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 3: against the news, but I appreciate the call, my friend.
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 3: Have a wonderful Labor Day. 710WOR, the voice of New York.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 3: I'll be back in for Mark again tomorrow. It's Ken Rosato.
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 3: Then Mark gets back in the seat Monday. Buck and
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 3: Clay are coming up next. Then at 3, the most
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 3: listened to talk show in America, Sean Hannity. Jesse Kelly's
