Hour 3: Have Republicans given up hope? · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Now the Mark Simone Show on seven ten wor filling
0:05
Speaker 1: in for Mark, here's Ken Rosato.
0:08
Speaker 2: That's so good to be with you on a Friday.
0:10
Speaker 2: Nice to be here to give the great Mark Simon
0:13
Speaker 2: a nice long weekend. And we want you to call
0:16
Speaker 2: us up. Let us know what you have to say.
0:17
Speaker 2: It's eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten
0:20
Speaker 2: eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten for
0:22
Speaker 2: seven ten WR used to be on Channel seven, Channel
0:26
Speaker 2: five here in New York City. For those who say
0:28
Speaker 2: I know that name from where? Why don't I know
0:30
Speaker 2: that name?
0:31
Speaker 3: Yeah?
0:31
Speaker 2: I was a news anchor for about thirty years in
0:34
Speaker 2: New York and then more around the country work than
0:37
Speaker 2: Miami and other places. And nowadays I do a show
0:42
Speaker 2: on a channel called on New Jersey and you could
0:45
Speaker 2: stream it anywhere in the world ATNENJ dot com. ONNJ
0:50
Speaker 2: dot com, I heard Mark talking about different channels yesterday
0:54
Speaker 2: and he couldn't remember what they're called. Streaming channels are
0:57
Speaker 2: known as fast channels, and it makes me laugh being
1:00
Speaker 2: a person. I'm fifty nine, and a fast channel is
1:05
Speaker 2: an acronym for free advertiser sponsored television. Fast. You know
1:10
Speaker 2: what we used to call that when I was a kid,
1:12
Speaker 2: television because you didn't have cable. When I was a kid,
1:16
Speaker 2: you didn't have satellite. You just had television and there
1:19
Speaker 2: were sponsors. And today they're back to it, only instead
1:22
Speaker 2: of having a broadcast channel, the channels are streamed on
1:25
Speaker 2: the internet, and now that all the TVs are smart TVs,
1:28
Speaker 2: you can just stream it on your smart TV and
1:30
Speaker 2: watch it like you would a broadcast channel, which is
1:32
Speaker 2: why broadcast TV is sort of dying on the mine
1:36
Speaker 2: right now, and things are changing. That's the whole industry
1:40
Speaker 2: is sort of reinventing itself. But we could talk about
1:43
Speaker 2: that another day. Today, the big news, of course, everyone's
1:45
Speaker 2: buzzing about is Luigi Mangioni. He is right now at
1:51
Speaker 2: a federal court, or at least his attorney is trying
1:54
Speaker 2: to allegedly hear a work some kind of a plea deal.
1:58
Speaker 2: No word on if there was any kind of arrangement
2:01
Speaker 2: in advance, if there was any kind of a deal
2:04
Speaker 2: reach in advance, and this is a formality, or if
2:07
Speaker 2: this is the first time that the attorney is meeting
2:10
Speaker 2: with the federal judge. We just spoke with a former
2:13
Speaker 2: New York State Supreme Court judge Judge Cammons, and he
2:18
Speaker 2: said that it is probably more likely that there was
2:21
Speaker 2: some kind of discussion in advance. You don't usually just
2:26
Speaker 2: go to a judge cold and say, hey, we got
2:28
Speaker 2: this idea, but we don't know. We'll find out. So
2:31
Speaker 2: right now the media is waiting breathlessly because members of
2:36
Speaker 2: the media have fallen in love with this accused murderer,
2:39
Speaker 2: and so they are all excited about the fact that
2:42
Speaker 2: this bushy, eyebrowed, scruffy looking frat boy looking rich kid.
2:47
Speaker 2: Remember he comes from very wealthy parents, that he's accused
2:51
Speaker 2: of murdering a dad and a husband in cold blood,
2:56
Speaker 2: and yet there are people who are all excited and
2:58
Speaker 2: think he's the greatest thing since slice read. And it
3:00
Speaker 2: just breaks my heart to see anyone think that, even
3:04
Speaker 2: somebody just accused of it should make you really wonder
3:08
Speaker 2: why somebody feels attracted to an individual like that. But
3:12
Speaker 2: either way, listen, we're all innocent until proven guilty. He
3:15
Speaker 2: gets a day in court, we'll see what happens, but
3:17
Speaker 2: we will find out if in fact there is a
3:20
Speaker 2: plea deal offered if a judge decides on it. Members
3:24
Speaker 2: of the media, I think thought that the middte eleven
3:26
Speaker 2: o'clock came, we'd have an answer. It may be days
3:29
Speaker 2: before we have an answer. We don't know. We don't
3:31
Speaker 2: even know for sure that the defense came with some
3:35
Speaker 2: kind of a suggestion to the judge. But we will
3:37
Speaker 2: find out what happens. The whole point of having this
3:42
Speaker 2: deal made, as Judge Cammon's pointed out when we had
3:46
Speaker 2: him on a little earlier, was if a deal is
3:50
Speaker 2: reached with the federal court. Remember there are two different
3:54
Speaker 2: courts involved in this case. There are federal charges, there
3:58
Speaker 2: are state charges. Will avoid the idea of double jeopardy,
4:02
Speaker 2: that is, being tried for the same case twice, which
4:06
Speaker 2: is against the law. Okay, can't have double jeopardy. What
4:09
Speaker 2: happened was the state has charged Luigi Mangoni with murder,
4:16
Speaker 2: and the federal charges are for stalking because video allegedly
4:22
Speaker 2: shows Mangoni outside the New York Hilton all night waiting
4:27
Speaker 2: for ostensibly waiting for Brian Thompson, and that's why they
4:32
Speaker 2: are stalking charges. So those are two different charges. What
4:36
Speaker 2: the judge had said when we spoke to him earlier
4:39
Speaker 2: was that if there is a deal reached with Mangoni,
4:44
Speaker 2: on the stalking charges the state. In the state case,
4:48
Speaker 2: his defense attorneys will try to say, well, the stalking
4:52
Speaker 2: allegedly led to the murder, and so you can't charge
4:55
Speaker 2: him again, we can't go through with the state case.
4:57
Speaker 2: So that would be double jeopardy. So you throw off
5:00
Speaker 2: the state case. But Judge Cammons says that no, there
5:03
Speaker 2: could be a good argument made that those are two
5:05
Speaker 2: very separate charges. And even if say there is an
5:09
Speaker 2: agreement made in the federal courts today right now at
5:13
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock little after eleven, it's eleven eleven, that say,
5:18
Speaker 2: for instance, he says, yes, I stalked and I committed murder.
5:23
Speaker 2: That now you've made the plea, it's on the public record.
5:27
Speaker 2: If that is the case. I'm just saying we don't
5:29
Speaker 2: know that that's the case. Then go back to the
5:33
Speaker 2: state court. The state court could say, well, now he's
5:35
Speaker 2: already pleaded guilty and that's a that's a whole other case. Now.
5:39
Speaker 2: Now it's like, try to defend yourself in state court.
5:41
Speaker 2: If they determine those are two separate charges, and he
5:44
Speaker 2: could go to court, go to trial, I should say
5:47
Speaker 2: in the state court and move forward. So we'll see
5:49
Speaker 2: what happens. There'll be a lot of legal experts, a
5:51
Speaker 2: lot more knowledgeable than me about this, who'll be talking
5:54
Speaker 2: about this all day today. We will stay on top
5:56
Speaker 2: of it here at seven to ten. Wur Daria all
6:00
Speaker 2: Binger has been talking about it all morning too, and
6:02
Speaker 2: she'll have more about it throughout the morning, and we'll
6:05
Speaker 2: hear more also from Liz Warner through the day. She
6:07
Speaker 2: continues the news. In terms of legal experts, there was
6:11
Speaker 2: one legal expert on ABC News already talking about this.
6:15
Speaker 2: This is ABC News Legal contributor Brian Buckmeyer, who had
6:19
Speaker 2: this to say.
6:20
Speaker 4: I think the plan is to try to get a
6:21
Speaker 4: good deal from the judge, sidestep the prosecution, take it
6:25
Speaker 4: from there, and in hope double jeopardy argument wins in
6:27
Speaker 4: the state court, and that's how you get Luigia Manngoni
6:30
Speaker 4: serving twelve years in prison because they probably believe this
6:32
Speaker 4: is a mitigation case rather than a trial case. I
6:35
Speaker 4: think that's always that makes sense to me.
6:36
Speaker 2: I think if he ends up, if that were the case,
6:38
Speaker 2: and we don't know what the case is going to be,
6:40
Speaker 2: I think mister Buckmeyer was hypothesizing, obviously, but if that
6:46
Speaker 2: were the case, if this twenty eight year old man
6:48
Speaker 2: got twelve years for allegedly being seen on video allegedly
6:52
Speaker 2: shooting a father, a husband in the back in cold
6:57
Speaker 2: blood early in the morning, who was simply talking to
7:00
Speaker 2: a breakfast I think you'd have a lot of people
7:03
Speaker 2: in this country very upset, and you'd have a lot
7:06
Speaker 2: of people saying, you know what, if I couldn't afford
7:08
Speaker 2: a good attorney, my kid would be spending life in prison,
7:13
Speaker 2: and this guy gets away with twelve years behind bars.
7:16
Speaker 2: I think you'd have a lot of people very upset
7:18
Speaker 2: if that in fact were the case. But we'll see
7:20
Speaker 2: what happens. We don't know. Everybody's hypothesizing. In the meantime.
7:24
Speaker 2: Seven ten wore the Voice of New York. This is
7:27
Speaker 2: Ken Risotto and from Mark on the third of three
7:30
Speaker 2: hours for the Mark Simone Show. For those saying, what
7:33
Speaker 2: do you mean it's only a two hour show, Ken, No,
7:36
Speaker 2: as of this week the show or last week, I
7:38
Speaker 2: should say, the show became three hours. Mark is now
7:41
Speaker 2: on nine to noon Monday through Friday. So we ask
7:45
Speaker 2: you to listen. If you normally don't listen till you
7:48
Speaker 2: get to work, say or whatever, and you listen normally
7:51
Speaker 2: at ten. You can now tune in starting at nine
7:53
Speaker 2: Monday through Friday, nine to noon the Mark Simone Show
7:57
Speaker 2: here at seven to ten wor. We also talked a
8:00
Speaker 2: little bit about Kathy Hokel, the Governor of New York,
8:04
Speaker 2: and we talked about Bruce Blakeman. Now, today the President
8:10
Speaker 2: is supposed to come to Nassau County and he will
8:14
Speaker 2: address law enforcement and praise them and talk to Bruce Blakeman.
8:19
Speaker 2: Ostensibly it's to garner support for Bruce Blakeman. There have
8:23
Speaker 2: been several polls showing him growing in popularity quite a bit. Now,
8:27
Speaker 2: mind you, down here in southern New York State, Blakeman
8:31
Speaker 2: is pretty much known. But you go north of say, Poughkeepsie,
8:34
Speaker 2: people have no idea. And there's a lot of New
8:36
Speaker 2: York State north of Poughkeepsie. We all tend to be
8:39
Speaker 2: very New York City centric when it comes to New
8:41
Speaker 2: York State. I used to work in Albany, I used
8:44
Speaker 2: to work in Poughkeepsie at radio stations there, and I
8:47
Speaker 2: worked in Elmira at a TV station, the NBC station there.
8:52
Speaker 2: And there is a lot of New York out there,
8:54
Speaker 2: and people don't know from up there. Many I knew
8:57
Speaker 2: people who were in Elmira their whole lives who used
9:00
Speaker 2: to drive to Philadelphia but never, never in their lives
9:03
Speaker 2: went to New York. That's an interesting little fun fact.
9:06
Speaker 2: If you are in Elmira, New York, it is shorter
9:09
Speaker 2: to drive to Philadelphia than it is to drive to
9:12
Speaker 2: New York City. Think about that. That's weird and you're like,
9:14
Speaker 2: how because I eighty is directly under you can get
9:17
Speaker 2: right onto I eighty and then what is it eighty one?
9:20
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, net eighty eighty one. Take eighty one straight
9:23
Speaker 2: down to Philly, right and then as opposed to having
9:26
Speaker 2: to go east and then south to get into New
9:28
Speaker 2: York City. So it's actually much shorter to get to Philly.
9:32
Speaker 2: So the big city for many people in the western
9:34
Speaker 2: part of New York State, Buffalo, Elmira, Binghamton is to
9:38
Speaker 2: go to Philly, not New York City. So a lot
9:41
Speaker 2: of folks that don't know of the players in the
9:44
Speaker 2: New York area. But bottom line, as people upstate hear
9:48
Speaker 2: more and more about Bruce Blakeman, they like him because
9:51
Speaker 2: Upstaters tend to be a little more conservative or at
9:53
Speaker 2: least a little more open minded. Than many in the
9:56
Speaker 2: city who tend to be very hardcore blue, and New
9:59
Speaker 2: York is divided. You come down to the Westchester border
10:03
Speaker 2: from Westchester South Boom, you have hardcore liberals Westchester North,
10:07
Speaker 2: it tends to be very purple to purple red. So
10:11
Speaker 2: if Bruce Blakeman's voice is heard upstate, I think he
10:14
Speaker 2: has a very good shot. And what the polls have
10:16
Speaker 2: shown originally, Blakeman was twenty some odd points behind Kathy
10:21
Speaker 2: hokel Oh, she of the bad buck teeth. Ken, she
10:24
Speaker 2: doesn't have buck teeth. Those are just horribly cheap caps. Correct, exactly.
10:29
Speaker 2: Sorry I've been saying and I'm so mean I've been
10:31
Speaker 2: saying it. If you go back and look at video
10:33
Speaker 2: of Kathy Hokele when she was lieutenant governor. Okay, yes,
10:36
Speaker 2: and people forgot it was Andrew Cuomo who was governor,
10:40
Speaker 2: who brought her on as lieutenant governor and when she
10:43
Speaker 2: was lieutenant governor. Go look at YouTube videos of her
10:46
Speaker 2: teeth back then and listen to the way she spoke
10:49
Speaker 2: when she had her own teeth as opposed to the
10:52
Speaker 2: very bad caps. Now, next time you have a dentis
10:55
Speaker 2: who tries to sell you on the neers. You ask
10:58
Speaker 2: will they look like Kathy the Hocals, And if the
11:01
Speaker 2: dentist says, well they might, you go to another dentist
11:05
Speaker 2: just saying I know that's mean, Ken. You shouldn't. You
11:07
Speaker 2: shouldn't make ad hominem attacks and pick on people's looks.
11:11
Speaker 2: When you do it to yourself and it turns out
11:13
Speaker 2: this way, then I think your fair game. It is
11:16
Speaker 2: what it is. Politics is a dirty business. But anyway,
11:19
Speaker 2: the polls initially had Bruce Blakeman twenty five points behind.
11:25
Speaker 2: Now there's a poll that shows him barely ten points behind.
11:28
Speaker 2: We still have a couple of months before the election,
11:31
Speaker 2: and there was a poll a few weeks ago showing
11:33
Speaker 2: him just four points behind. So now, considering Kathy Hochel
11:37
Speaker 2: is well known throughout the state, she should be way ahead.
11:42
Speaker 2: But what this says is as an incumbent that her
11:46
Speaker 2: likability isn't all there. She has people on the right
11:49
Speaker 2: who certainly don't like her, and there are people on
11:51
Speaker 2: the left. Because the Democrats have really become divided, the
11:55
Speaker 2: super hardcore left mom damiites and then the more mainstream Democrats, well,
12:00
Speaker 2: the more mainstream Democrats who are upstate, who know Kathy
12:03
Speaker 2: Hockel don't really like her. The hardcore left wing Democrats
12:07
Speaker 2: in New York City don't think she's liberal enough, and
12:10
Speaker 2: of course the Republicans want her out of office. Does
12:12
Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman have a shot at this point, I'd say
12:15
Speaker 2: it's a tiny one, but he does have a shot.
12:18
Speaker 2: So President Trump is coming today and he will be
12:20
Speaker 2: speaking to the police in Nassau County, but he will
12:24
Speaker 2: be there ostensibly on behalf of Bruce Blakeman. Here's Blakeman
12:27
Speaker 2: talking about the President.
12:28
Speaker 5: The President has indicated an interest in coming to honor
12:32
Speaker 5: the people of law enforcement here in Nassau County. Nasau
12:35
Speaker 5: County backs the blue.
12:37
Speaker 2: That's right, they do. And Bruce also talked about how
12:41
Speaker 2: members of the police in Nassau County interact with ICE.
12:46
Speaker 2: In a recent case, because the governor now wants absolutely
12:49
Speaker 2: no interaction between local police and ICE agents, we.
12:53
Speaker 5: Did it without raiding one church, one school, one business,
12:57
Speaker 5: one daycare center.
12:59
Speaker 2: Was very orderly. Yeah, that's what happens when police cooperate
13:03
Speaker 2: with ICE. If you want to have confrontation where there
13:06
Speaker 2: are bullets flying and cars running into people, then you
13:10
Speaker 2: just order the police. In New York state to have
13:13
Speaker 2: no interaction with ICE, and that will happen. But when
13:17
Speaker 2: you allow police to cooperate with federal agents ICE agents,
13:21
Speaker 2: it prevents all that. If a person is already in
13:24
Speaker 2: a state court or a county court for committing a crime,
13:27
Speaker 2: and you allow ICE agents in, because those individuals are
13:31
Speaker 2: illegal aliens, ICE agents can then get them as they're
13:34
Speaker 2: coming out of court. Within the building, there won't be
13:36
Speaker 2: any issue because they'll already be in cuffs from the
13:38
Speaker 2: trial and then they can be escorted out. But when
13:41
Speaker 2: you keep ICE agents from coming into federal I meant
13:46
Speaker 2: county court, which, by the way, makes you wonder as
13:49
Speaker 2: a citizen of the United States, you're going to tell
13:53
Speaker 2: me that I can be discriminated against from entering a
13:56
Speaker 2: building that my tax dollars are paid for because I
13:58
Speaker 2: happen to have a federal job. That's kind of crazy
14:01
Speaker 2: if you think about it. So, if I am an
14:04
Speaker 2: illegal alien who doesn't pay taxes and isn't a citizen,
14:08
Speaker 2: I'm allowed to walk into a county court building or
14:11
Speaker 2: a state court building. But if I am a federal
14:15
Speaker 2: agent who lives in the same county, I am not
14:18
Speaker 2: allowed to walk into a state court or a local
14:22
Speaker 2: county court. How is that even legal? Somebody's got to
14:25
Speaker 2: challenge that. To me, that is absolutely a violation of law.
14:29
Speaker 2: You can't discriminate against people, especially when you're letting illegal
14:33
Speaker 2: migrants into the courts. If they want to go for
14:36
Speaker 2: a relative, they can come in, but an ICE agent
14:38
Speaker 2: can't because you don't like ICE. See, this is where
14:41
Speaker 2: the sanctuary states and sanctuary cities cross the line. In
14:46
Speaker 2: my view, you don't have to have your officers cooperate,
14:50
Speaker 2: but when you have them actively campaign against ICE agents,
14:55
Speaker 2: that's when I think you cross the line into obstruction.
14:57
Speaker 2: With obstruction of justice, that's where I think some local
15:01
Speaker 2: people have to be charged to send a message. What
15:03
Speaker 2: do you think about it? Eight hundred three to two
15:05
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten, eight hundred three to two one
15:09
Speaker 2: zero seven ten. We'll take your calls. Coming up next
15:11
Speaker 2: here at seven ten wor.
15:14
Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on seven ten WR
15:18
Speaker 1: in from Mark Today, here's Ken Rosatto.
15:22
Speaker 2: Having known a lot of these people from working in
15:24
Speaker 2: the business for a lot of years. Gail King is
15:27
Speaker 2: really really nice people. She's a good person. I don't
15:29
Speaker 2: know politically, that's a whole separate thing, but just as
15:32
Speaker 2: an individual. Of a few times that I have met her,
15:34
Speaker 2: she could not have been nicer. It is now look
15:38
Speaker 2: at that eleven twenty seven, we go to our busy phones,
15:40
Speaker 2: we say good morning to Pam and New Jersey.
15:44
Speaker 6: Hello, good afternoon, good morning.
15:46
Speaker 2: Still sure you know this?
15:48
Speaker 6: HERMANGIONI thing remind me of when I was a little
15:51
Speaker 6: girl watching everything going on with the Manson trial and
15:58
Speaker 6: all the fanatics honoring him and his killers. And I
16:03
Speaker 6: read an article about JC Spring, one of the victims'
16:07
Speaker 6: family members over twenty years later, trying to go to
16:11
Speaker 6: a concert and enjoyed themselves their favorite band, and the
16:15
Speaker 6: band came out with a T shirt honoring Manson, and
16:20
Speaker 6: they said, will this ever end? Will it ever stop
16:23
Speaker 6: being a freak show? These are killers. Manson was a
16:28
Speaker 6: serial killer, nothing special, nothing wonderful, a sociopath. Same thing Mangione.
16:34
Speaker 2: The same thing with Jake Guivara, same thing with Castro,
16:38
Speaker 2: same thing with you know you named the communist dictators.
16:41
Speaker 2: These people are responsible for the deaths of millions of people. Millions.
16:45
Speaker 2: Yet kids, you know, they think, oh it's so cool,
16:47
Speaker 2: chieg Guava. Dude, No, he was a murder He killed
16:51
Speaker 2: people lined them up and shot them in the head.
16:54
Speaker 2: You think that's okay, you know, do a little research
16:57
Speaker 2: before you embrace and honor these individuals about it. If
17:00
Speaker 2: God forbid, it was your family that was murdered, you know.
17:03
Speaker 2: I worked with a woman I was an anchor in
17:05
Speaker 2: Miami for five years, big Cuban American population. I worked
17:09
Speaker 2: with a woman who literally received a door knock in
17:12
Speaker 2: Cuba at her front door. Her mother, her father, her
17:15
Speaker 2: brother got up in the middle of the night. Cuban
17:17
Speaker 2: military with rifles pointed at her parents' heads, kidnapped the
17:21
Speaker 2: father took him to the other side of the island
17:23
Speaker 2: because he was a doctor and they needed doctors on
17:25
Speaker 2: the other side of the island. At Santiago de Cuba.
17:28
Speaker 2: Just because they said so, they commandeered the house and
17:31
Speaker 2: turned it into a communist headquarters and took my friend Iliana,
17:35
Speaker 2: her brother and mother and threw them into an apartment
17:38
Speaker 2: with three other families to share. Because that's communists. They
17:43
Speaker 2: believe that you don't deserve They want to punish success
17:46
Speaker 2: and wealth. So that's what they had to endure, living
17:49
Speaker 2: in an apartment with like fifteen other people. After living
17:52
Speaker 2: in a very nice house but this is the problem
17:54
Speaker 2: with people today. They're absolutely brainwashed and nuts. Pam and
17:57
Speaker 2: I appreciate the phone call. We go to our friend
17:59
Speaker 2: Vincent and Brooke playing good morning Vincent, Good.
18:01
Speaker 3: Morning ken Ken. I was hoping that Trump would bring
18:05
Speaker 3: this war to an end Memorial Day. That didn't happen
18:09
Speaker 3: because the strait is open, it's closed, it's open, it's closed.
18:13
Speaker 3: Then by fourth to July, I said, maybe it'll happen
18:15
Speaker 3: by fourth to July. Now I really hope he has
18:20
Speaker 3: this all wrapped up by Labor Day. And the reason
18:24
Speaker 3: why I said it say this is it's one thing
18:28
Speaker 3: for a family to pay twenty dollars more to fill
18:32
Speaker 3: up their tank to go riding around the country for
18:35
Speaker 3: two weeks on vacation. It's another thing because now the
18:40
Speaker 3: refineries are starting to refine oil for the heating season.
18:45
Speaker 3: It's another thing where when the heating oil goes up,
18:50
Speaker 3: especially in those seven states that Trump won when he
18:54
Speaker 3: ran for election in twenty twenty four, when the people
18:59
Speaker 3: up there have to start to turn down their dermostad,
19:02
Speaker 3: when the people upstate New York, up in New England
19:05
Speaker 3: have to start to turn down their dermostad because they
19:08
Speaker 3: can't afford the price of fuel oil. He is gonna
19:12
Speaker 3: the Republicans are gonna have a problem with that, and
19:15
Speaker 3: rightfully so, as bad as Iran is. Remember, we started
19:22
Speaker 3: this war for good, bad or otherwise. And the people
19:28
Speaker 3: I'm saying to myself, well, if we had them such
19:32
Speaker 3: on the wraps, if we allegedly got we destroyed their
19:37
Speaker 3: nuclear reactor in the summer of twenty twenty five, why
19:41
Speaker 3: all of this Because we didn't, They didn't have it there,
19:45
Speaker 3: they took it out. That's why Donald Trump is going
19:49
Speaker 3: crazy trying to get this so called nuclear does because,
19:53
Speaker 3: in my opinion, they didn't get it the first time.
19:57
Speaker 3: You don't think that, I know you do. But Iran
20:01
Speaker 3: has spies in the white in the government community, who
20:06
Speaker 3: leaked information to them that they're going to come and
20:09
Speaker 3: do this and that, especially since those phantom jets had
20:14
Speaker 3: a zig zag across our country and across Europe because
20:19
Speaker 3: no one was letting those jets fly over there, the
20:22
Speaker 3: so called NATO countries, including Turkey. I really hope he
20:27
Speaker 3: gets this done because yesterday I'm coming home from the Parkway.
20:31
Speaker 3: I went down the shore. Gas is still the same
20:34
Speaker 3: price on the Parkway as there was two weeks ago.
20:38
Speaker 3: Even though the price of oil has gone down, it's
20:41
Speaker 3: not at the pump can.
20:43
Speaker 2: Now, Vincent, I didn't say a word because I am
20:45
Speaker 2: nodding my head. Izzy is sitting across from me. We're
20:48
Speaker 2: both nodding our heads. There is not one word I
20:50
Speaker 2: disagree with you on, not one bit. And I think
20:53
Speaker 2: that all. I've said it a million times to myself.
20:56
Speaker 2: Couldn't you have waited till after the damn if you had.
21:00
Speaker 3: This on the wraps, if you had satellites tracking their
21:05
Speaker 3: every movement that you could see when somebody went to
21:08
Speaker 3: the bathroom, Why are you doing Why did you do this?
21:11
Speaker 7: Now?
21:12
Speaker 3: Why did you do this? Now?
21:14
Speaker 2: I have a theory. And as much.
21:15
Speaker 3: As he who lived in the streets and who knows
21:20
Speaker 3: street law, he was out of his mind.
21:23
Speaker 2: I think, I think, honestly, as much as I like it, I.
21:27
Speaker 3: Like figure out how to get out of it.
21:28
Speaker 2: Now, Well, that's the problem. I like Pete hagg Seth,
21:31
Speaker 2: but part of me, part of me, and I don't
21:33
Speaker 2: know that Pete hagg Seth had anything to do with it.
21:35
Speaker 2: Part of me says the Pete egg set said, we
21:37
Speaker 2: have the capability of doing X Y and Z we
21:39
Speaker 2: could do this, we got this. I don't know why
21:41
Speaker 2: I feel that I could. I could be totally off base.
21:44
Speaker 2: It could have been entirely based on the intelligence people,
21:46
Speaker 2: but something in my gut says that, and Trump fell
21:49
Speaker 2: for it, and I just I want to just scream
21:53
Speaker 2: every time I think we should have, could have, might have,
21:56
Speaker 2: and the fact that we did what we did when
21:59
Speaker 2: we did it, I think blew everything up. And I
22:01
Speaker 2: think we have a mess here, an absolute mess. I
22:04
Speaker 2: just hope to God Trump tends to know things that
22:06
Speaker 2: we don't know. Obviously as president, he tends to play
22:09
Speaker 2: chessnut checkers, and I am praying to God that he
22:12
Speaker 2: knows something that we don't know. Will all be pleasantly
22:14
Speaker 2: surprised in the days ahead, Vincent, I love talking to
22:17
Speaker 2: you all the time, my friend, have a wonderful weekend.
22:19
Speaker 2: We appreciate it.
22:20
Speaker 1: Bill Mark Simone Show Live from the woor Life Back Studios,
22:26
Speaker 1: guest hosting from Mark.
22:27
Speaker 2: Today. Here's Ken Rosanto. I had a very good morning
22:31
Speaker 2: to you. Having a conversation off here. Somebody just said
22:34
Speaker 2: I won't say who said. I don't see how you
22:37
Speaker 2: don't find Luigi Mangoni marginally attractive, and well, I said,
22:42
Speaker 2: maybe when sometimes his face looks popped. Look, he's a killer.
22:46
Speaker 2: I don't find him attractive in any way. I don't
22:48
Speaker 2: like his personality and I don't like him. He's a killer.
22:50
Speaker 2: I know, Ken, he hasn't had his day in court. Ken,
22:53
Speaker 2: he may not be Okay, we have videotape, we have
22:57
Speaker 2: I just think about this. Anytime somebody says he is
23:00
Speaker 2: marginally attractive, I say, really, you tell Led to the
23:03
Speaker 2: children of Brian Thompson, who they've lost their dad. You
23:09
Speaker 2: tell Led to Missus Thompson, who lost her husband. I
23:12
Speaker 2: don't find somebody who allegedly killed this individual. Whether you
23:16
Speaker 2: like healthcare people or not, has nothing to do with it.
23:20
Speaker 2: That's what changes it for me. So I'm sorry. That's
23:23
Speaker 2: just me. I don't care how pretty some people think
23:25
Speaker 2: the person looks. You got to look at the entirety
23:27
Speaker 2: of the person. Seven to ten wor the Voice of
23:30
Speaker 2: New York. This is Ken Rosotto win from Mark. Sorry
23:33
Speaker 2: to get on that stool there for a moment and
23:35
Speaker 2: to preach, but I had to. It is a Friday morning.
23:39
Speaker 2: Mark has the day off, and ten years ago, if
23:42
Speaker 2: you were to call yourself a socialist, It would have
23:46
Speaker 2: meant kissing your chances of getting elected goodbye. With rare exceptions,
23:51
Speaker 2: of course, maybe for parts of San Francisco or Oakland, California,
23:55
Speaker 2: New York City, you know, possibly. Well, today there are
23:58
Speaker 2: over two hundred demosmocratic socialists of America elected to various
24:03
Speaker 2: offices all over the country, in large and small communities.
24:06
Speaker 2: And what used to be a phenomenon experience only in
24:09
Speaker 2: those liberal urban centers is now spreading to cities far
24:12
Speaker 2: and wide. So the question is what is prompting it.
24:15
Speaker 2: Howard Limb is the secretary of the New York State
24:18
Speaker 2: Conservative Party. He joins us to talk about it. We say,
24:20
Speaker 2: good morning, Howard, morning Ken, nice to have you back, sir.
24:24
Speaker 2: So ten to fifteen years ago, a guy like Zoron
24:27
Speaker 2: Mamdani would not have stood a chance in hell at
24:31
Speaker 2: getting elected mayor of New York. But here we are.
24:34
Speaker 2: So the question is what is causing the rise of
24:37
Speaker 2: this political movement?
24:39
Speaker 7: Well, I think the names have changed over the years.
24:45
Speaker 7: Believe it or not. The simple word liberal used to
24:48
Speaker 7: be the most common descriptor of democrats, and all of
24:53
Speaker 7: a sudden that got a bad reputation and now they're progressives.
24:58
Speaker 7: It's the same politicians, it's mostly the same policies, perhaps
25:02
Speaker 7: even more radical now. In the case of New York
25:05
Speaker 7: City's socialist Democrats, keep in mind that in New York
25:12
Speaker 7: City there are three million Democrats. In twenty twenty five,
25:17
Speaker 7: when Mandami won the weird ranked choice primary that the
25:23
Speaker 7: Democrats have for their nomination, he got sixteen percent of
25:28
Speaker 7: that of those three million Democrats because of the turn
25:32
Speaker 7: low turnout and the fact that he just barely on
25:36
Speaker 7: multiple rounds beat Andrew Cuomo. So he is and what
25:43
Speaker 7: he represents is the sliver of a sliver of a sliver.
25:47
Speaker 2: So basically, four hundred and sixty thousand votes or so
25:50
Speaker 2: or we got a guy in a city of eight
25:52
Speaker 2: and a half million people elected mayor.
25:55
Speaker 8: That's right.
25:56
Speaker 7: And in a Democratic primary in which there were three
25:59
Speaker 7: million eligible Democrats and only around a million of them
26:05
Speaker 7: showed up and less than half of them went with Mondamie.
26:09
Speaker 2: That's amazing. It's amazing when you think about it that way.
26:11
Speaker 2: And that's why the whole rank choice voting thing just
26:13
Speaker 2: bothers me, you know, using the excuse that, well, it's
26:17
Speaker 2: more it's easier this way you don't have to come
26:19
Speaker 2: out and vote again about nonsense. There's got to be
26:22
Speaker 2: interior voted for it.
26:24
Speaker 7: Yeah, Ken, The Democratic National Committee has just promulgated a
26:30
Speaker 7: proposed change to their bylaws that makes ranked choice voting
26:37
Speaker 7: illegal in the selection of delegates to the twenty twenty
26:45
Speaker 7: eight Democratic National Convention. The Democrats have seen what can
26:50
Speaker 7: happen when you have this convoluted, complicated, easily managed system
26:57
Speaker 7: called ranked choice voting, and they want to make it
26:59
Speaker 7: illegal within their own party.
27:02
Speaker 2: But it's okay to have the Mayor of New York
27:03
Speaker 2: collected under it. It's just ridiculous, I mean, because think
27:06
Speaker 2: about it. You have a number of people who will
27:08
Speaker 2: actually vote, say the top five in order, and then
27:12
Speaker 2: you'll also have a number of people in that same
27:13
Speaker 2: election who'll only put the first name in and they
27:16
Speaker 2: won't put the other five. So all of a sudden,
27:17
Speaker 2: you get certain people who have a monstrous amount of
27:19
Speaker 2: votes and other people who have none because of it.
27:22
Speaker 8: Yeah.
27:23
Speaker 7: Well, the breakdown of how the ranked choice process worked
27:28
Speaker 7: in that primary election is out there for everyone to see.
27:32
Speaker 7: The Working Families Party, the Democratic Socialists, the public employee unions,
27:39
Speaker 7: all these different special groups that depend upon government money
27:45
Speaker 7: for their sustenance. Had come up with a plan in
27:48
Speaker 7: which they said, well, there are four very progressive leftist
27:53
Speaker 7: candidates that legitimately seemed to be as part of this field.
27:59
Speaker 7: We want to have a system in which they can
28:02
Speaker 7: vote for anyone they want to vote for among these
28:05
Speaker 7: four extreme leftists. But the main thing you have to
28:08
Speaker 7: do is not put in Cuomo's name. That system worked
28:13
Speaker 7: so that as we went through different counts in the
28:17
Speaker 7: rank choice system, all of the leftists started to pile
28:23
Speaker 7: their votes up for Mondambi, who was their first choice candidate.
28:27
Speaker 2: Anyway, gotcha. Just reminding everybody whom we're talking to. This
28:30
Speaker 2: is Howard Limb, who is the secretary of the New
28:32
Speaker 2: York State Conservative Party, and it's good to have him
28:35
Speaker 2: on here. Seven to ten wore the Voice of New
28:38
Speaker 2: York Ken Risotto in for the great Mark Simone on
28:41
Speaker 2: a Friday. And the question now is will this continue
28:44
Speaker 2: to grow or is this kind of like the Tea
28:46
Speaker 2: Party was at one point? This is a kind of
28:49
Speaker 2: flash in the pan thing or have they peaked or
28:52
Speaker 2: are they still going to Well?
28:55
Speaker 7: I think you have to see the performance in the
28:59
Speaker 7: election just this week in which some of the worst
29:04
Speaker 7: examples of Democrats socialists lost. Some of them did pretty well,
29:10
Speaker 7: sometimes hiding out behind the overwhelming Democratic majorities in their
29:19
Speaker 7: states and in some cases trying to wind back things
29:27
Speaker 7: that they've said in the past that made them potentially
29:30
Speaker 7: totally unelectable in the general election. We have to accept
29:35
Speaker 7: the idea that in many cases the Democrats will nominate
29:39
Speaker 7: people like this, But we can only hope that in November,
29:43
Speaker 7: when independents and Republicans are also voting, that these people
29:49
Speaker 7: get pushed aside.
29:50
Speaker 2: We can only see, and we can only hope. We'll
29:53
Speaker 2: keep our figure scross. But it's kind of unnerving to
29:55
Speaker 2: see that, you know, it starts with the smaller election
29:59
Speaker 2: of status, emly position, et cetera, and then boom, before
30:02
Speaker 2: you know what the person is mayor. And I just
30:06
Speaker 2: and I said this earlier in the broadcast. It just
30:09
Speaker 2: drives me insane that you have so many Republicans in
30:13
Speaker 2: the state of New York who either A have given
30:15
Speaker 2: up hope or B they say, I only come out
30:18
Speaker 2: and vote for governor and president after that, I can't
30:21
Speaker 2: be bothered. Yeah, well, this is the problem. When you
30:24
Speaker 2: can't be bothered, you end up having a state Assembly
30:28
Speaker 2: and a state Senate that's ninety percent liberal. And so
30:31
Speaker 2: even if you do get a Republican governor elected, and
30:34
Speaker 2: we keep our fingers crossed for Bruce Blakeman, when you're
30:37
Speaker 2: dealing with the two houses up there that are so liberal,
30:40
Speaker 2: how could you get anything done?
30:42
Speaker 7: Well, you're right. The Sienna University poll that came out
30:47
Speaker 7: just a few days ago shows that even within New
30:50
Speaker 7: York State, which is which of course is generally viewed
30:53
Speaker 7: as a pretty blue state, the Democratic Socialist label only
30:57
Speaker 7: has a thirty percent save, while it's forty seven percent
31:03
Speaker 7: unfavorable among likely voters throughout the state, especially now in
31:07
Speaker 7: this in a regional breakout, New York City is fifty
31:12
Speaker 7: percent favorable for Democratic Socialists, but in the suburbs it's
31:17
Speaker 7: fifty nine percent unfavorable, and upstate it's forty nine percent unfavorable.
31:23
Speaker 7: With I don't want to just keep ridling off numbers,
31:26
Speaker 7: but when you have a forty nine percent unfavorable upstate,
31:29
Speaker 7: you have to consider that the favorable and the undecided
31:33
Speaker 7: are broken out in the other direction. So we really
31:37
Speaker 7: believe that Bruce, as you were saying, gives us a
31:42
Speaker 7: good clean chance, particularly since it's going to be much
31:45
Speaker 7: less likely that Hockel is going to be able to
31:49
Speaker 7: disguise her relationship with the Democratic Socialists and Mondami, since
31:55
Speaker 7: she's signed so many of the state laws that have
31:58
Speaker 7: allowed Mountdami to do to proceed with some of his
32:01
Speaker 7: worst policies.
32:03
Speaker 2: She knows that if she has any shot at reelection,
32:05
Speaker 2: she has to kiss his backside like there's no tomorrow
32:09
Speaker 2: and make sure that he gives her a nice, warm endorsement,
32:12
Speaker 2: or else she doesn't stand a chance. At this point,
32:15
Speaker 2: she knows that she knows that he has her in
32:17
Speaker 2: her back, in his back pocket. I should say, well,
32:19
Speaker 2: Howard Limbs, Secretary of the New York State Conservative Party,
32:22
Speaker 2: we love when you come on. Your analysis is just
32:24
Speaker 2: wonderful spot on. We appreciate you have a wonderful day
32:27
Speaker 2: and a great weekend you too. Thank you, sir. It
32:31
Speaker 2: is Ken rossottowin from Mark on your Friday seven ten WR.
32:35
Speaker 2: When we come back, we will take more of your calls.
32:37
Speaker 2: The number is eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
32:41
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten for WR.
32:45
Speaker 1: Now more of the Mark Simone show on seven ten WR.
32:49
Speaker 1: Filling in for Mark here again is Ken Rosatto.
32:53
Speaker 2: And it's good to be with you on a Friday.
32:55
Speaker 2: We just have a couple of minutes. Let let's go
32:56
Speaker 2: to Russ and White Plains. Good morning, Russ can Wow.
33:01
Speaker 8: After ninety minutes, I percolated a lot of ideas. But
33:04
Speaker 8: I want to talk to you about the superseding federal
33:06
Speaker 8: rules about immigration. But I want to point out that
33:09
Speaker 8: Son of Sam and Charles Manson are not like Luigi
33:13
Speaker 8: son of Sam, who was a Cultish postal worker. Manson
33:18
Speaker 8: was an MK ultra government agent. Luigi is perceived as
33:22
Speaker 8: a revolutionary, a John Brown of healthcare reform. He's a
33:26
Speaker 8: crusader because we live in a carnival of corruption here
33:29
Speaker 8: in this country. And that interview with the Judge Camman's
33:32
Speaker 8: was so good, so educational. I'm just glad you didn't
33:34
Speaker 8: ask him, you know, what would happen if they start
33:36
Speaker 8: doing undergroundments at Luigi. But what I want to ask
33:40
Speaker 8: you about is the minimum wage. You know, the tenth
33:44
Speaker 8: Amendment of the Constitution says that the states have the rights.
33:48
Speaker 8: There's no federal immigration enforcement right, and you know the
33:53
Speaker 8: federal minimum wage law is seven twenty five cents. Should
33:56
Speaker 8: an employer in Massachusetts, where the minimum wage is fifteen dollars,
34:00
Speaker 8: I'll say, well, fiteral laws supersedes I can pay them
34:03
Speaker 8: seven twenty five. No, because we protect our citizens, pleasing
34:07
Speaker 8: is a state right. The Feds shouldn't be doing roundups
34:10
Speaker 8: and dragnets. It reminds me of Nazis. Now listen, well, well, well,
34:15
Speaker 8: but let me back you up.
34:15
Speaker 2: Let me back you up. Take a breath. Take a breath.
34:18
Speaker 2: Your right of citizens, but not of non citizens. There
34:22
Speaker 2: is the difference when we're talking about illegal migrants. We're
34:25
Speaker 2: not talking about citizens. Now, there are certain constitutional protections
34:28
Speaker 2: you have even as a non citizen. But when it
34:30
Speaker 2: comes to violating the law merely by your entrance in
34:34
Speaker 2: the manner that you did, by not coming through a
34:37
Speaker 2: port of entry and then by overseaying a visa in
34:40
Speaker 2: some cases, and we've already given you an opportunity. We've
34:44
Speaker 2: told you that if you download the CBP app, if
34:47
Speaker 2: you tell us when you are leaving, we will get
34:49
Speaker 2: you plane tickets, We will pay you when you get
34:51
Speaker 2: back to your place, and then when you want to
34:54
Speaker 2: you can apply legally and come back. Well, then at
34:56
Speaker 2: that point all bets are off. If you continue to
34:59
Speaker 2: ignore us and Russ. We are at a time, unfortunately
35:01
Speaker 2: at the top of the hour time for news. We
35:03
Speaker 2: appreciate the call. It is great to be with you.
35:05
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for staying with me for the hours.
35:08
Speaker 2: Mark will be back in the seat Monday. Thank you
35:10
Speaker 2: to Mark and WR for letting me sit in today.
35:13
Speaker 2: Don't forget we have the wonderful Buck and Clay after
35:16
Speaker 2: the news, have a great day and a great weekend.
35:18
Speaker 2: Ken Rosotto in for seven to ten. WR
