  Speaker 2: Ken. About sixty years ago, I attended an all boys

  Speaker 2: vocational high school and I had a great home economics teacher.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: And when he wasn't talking about how to balance your
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: checkbook and how to how to survive on your salary,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: he talked about world events, and he taught, he spoke
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: about his art. And this man was an Oskenazi Jew.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: And he said, unlike Christianity, Judaism, Taoism and Buddhism, he says,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: the difference between those religions and Islam. He says, Islam
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: it's either you convert or I'll cut your throat. Whereas
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Judy is you want to be a Jew fine. Christianity,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: you want to be a Christian fine. Even the missionaries,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the Christian missionaries when they went around the world, mainly
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: they went to these countries where people were really sick.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: They whether in China and elsewhere in Africa. They were
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: there to bring fresh water, food. Yeah, they set up
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: schools and everything, but if you didn't want to go,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: you didn't want to go. Ken In Italy, especially in Milan,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: in the big cities, they have big crime problems because
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the first and set there's mainly the second generation of
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the Arab peoples that came to work in Italy, got
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: their citizenship, learned to speak the language, were well placed
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: in society. Their children, like a lot of our children here,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: they don't want any part of it. They want to
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: be drug dealers. They want to be criminals. They go
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: into these high end shopping stores like they do out
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: in the West Coast, and here fifty kids and they
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: just clean it out. They just take over. And recently
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I saw a video where a policeman was trying to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: stop them. They beat the living daylights out of the cops.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: And let's if I could just step in for one second,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: let's just be clear. They're and I got I know
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: it sounds like, oh really, there were plenty of good ones. Yes,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: there are a plenty of beautiful watervls you and not
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: both of from that. No, but you're right, you're you're
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: giving real life examples of things that happened there are
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the think about this, many, not all, but many of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the people who commuted, who traveled to Italy, Spain, Portugal,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: parts of France, right Paris, they were gangsters and drug
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: dealers looking to make a buck. So they looked as
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: they're opportunists. They went there. They just happened to be
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: from Islamic countries, so it's not that they were going there,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: but yeah, they come, they come with their their mentality boom.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: There is a an investigation going on right now here
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: in Manhattan where there is a place where all the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: pushcart people bring their pushcarts and it is sort of
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: a secret, behind the scenes mosque, and so you go in,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: you drop off your cart and there is literally a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: mosque running on the inside. But there's a lot of
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: conversation going on, and the question is some of the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: individuals there are there for nefarious reasons. That's the investigation.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Nothing's been proven yet, it's under investigation, but I think
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: we're going to find out a lot more about this
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: in the weeks and months to come.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, in Colabria, the Colabrian mafia, what they did, They
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: now employ the black migrants from Africa. They're the main
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: cocaine traffick is the Colombian send it to the mob
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: in Colabria and then they distributed. The black Africans are
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the dealers, are the street dealers. I had hanchos at

  Speaker 2: are collaborate in the mafia, but the street dealers are
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the African well, the black Africans a ken and it's
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the same thing in Milan. I was coming home from
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: a pastry shop with my friend Alfred, from a Sicilian
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: pastry shop, and this zombie, this junkie comes up to

• 4:29
  Speaker 2: He grabbed this guy by the neck under no certain terms,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: made him realize that if he went forward, well.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Let's just say, let's just say here, Vincent, before we

• 4:41
  Speaker 1: conversation with this individual.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Exactly, and he made that guy have a conversation with
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: whoever he calls his god.

• 4:54
  Speaker 1: ended up in the on the floor as.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: On the gun Ken.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: It's just amazing how his face kept hitting your friend's

• 5:11
  Speaker 2: what a rough summer this has been, between these heat waves,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: these downpours. Late last night, I was running up and
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: down between my cellar and Paula Floyd trying to make
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: sure that my house wasn't going to float away.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: It was crazy, it was It's amazing how much water
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: fell at once. Vincent, I'm with you.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: My friend Milan actually in the middle of the night
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: set me a picture of that water spot that hit
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the south shore of Long Island.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I love it how somebody in Milan is letting us
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: know about something happening two miles away from.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Us because I was so busy worried about my own property.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Oh jeez, it's crazy, it's crazy float away, Vincent. I
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: was saying, I watched this guy on YouTube. He's a
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: meteorologist in the South, and I'll just say the word. Y'all,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: people who are into who are weather geeks will know
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: who I'm talking about. I don't want to promote the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: show of us. He already has like a million followers,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: but he he is this brilliant meteorologist, and he has
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: this network of cameras and radars from all over the country.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: He was all over the Northeast with these storms yesterday
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: like white on Rice. Everybody who's like all these meteorologists
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: were calling into him, showing and helping him, and it
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: was crazy to watch. But as that water spout was forming,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: he had it live. It was crazy to watch it.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: But thank god I saw it live.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: When it was hitting Atlantic Beach this morning. I saw
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: a feet of it that was somebody captured, and hey,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: thank god only one. You could always replace property and things.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Thank God there was no loss of life. That's all I.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Vincent, my friend, you have a wonderful weekend. Enjoy it.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I know summer's coming to an end, so you enjoy yourself.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: All right, you too, can great weekends. Wait speaking to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: you as always, ken like I can't buddy out.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Thank you Bill in New Jersey, Thank you for being
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: so patient. Good morning to you.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Wow, that was a long one.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Listen, the rule of thumb is you don't cut off Vincent.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Just think of the guy in Malona.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Okay, I guess well, I'm going to bring up a
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: subject that has been talked about for thousands of years,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: and we'll be talking about for thousands more. But it's religion.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: It's God, who is God in everybody's mind. You mentioned
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: all the different religions before, and I'll speak briefly about
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Christianity and Jesus. Was Jesus born and did he die
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: as a Jew? Man? He will say yes, did he
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: live the Jewish way of life? Well, the Jews back
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: in the day didn't seem to believe so, because they
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: called him a blasphemer and they had him crucified. So
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: you know, I talked to too many Jews that are
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: my friends, and they say, you know, being a Jew
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: is the way of life, and if you don't live
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: the Jewish way of life, then you're not a Jew.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: And these guys are my age in the seventies. They
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: have sons who are Orthodox jew and they call their
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: fathers had pass Jews because they don't go to the
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: temple or synagogue and they don't practice the faith. They
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: just want to run their businesses. So Christianity, it begins
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: with Christ. Christmas, it begins with Christ.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Was Jesus a Jew?
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Evidently not because they killed him because he spoke against
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: the Jewish way of life, and he started Christianity. So
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: the Catholics follow that closer than any other religion, and.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: The Orthodox, the Orthodox, we got to say, we have
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: to always throw that out. I was a Catholic priest,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: so we always say the Catholic and the Orthodox together
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: really followed. In fact, the Orthodox would say their tradition
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: is actually more closely related. And don't. I'm only cutting
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: us off because we have news coming up here. But Bill,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: you're you're not wrong, and a lot of that. We
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: could have the discussion about whether he was a Jew.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I think most people would say most that he was
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: a Jew because he never remember he never abolished Judaism
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: per se. I know people are going to debate me
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: on that he is the he was meant to bring
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the faith and the resurrection and blah blah blh, etcetera, etcetera.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get into a religious discussion. We
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: could do that off the air. But Jesus was supposed
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to be the let's say, say, the reader's digest version
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and to bring everybody back to the faith. But again
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that's a discussion for another day. But thank you very much, Bill,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it. But yes, religion. While people love to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: criticize and say, you see the world religions, they're the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: cause of all the wars. No, no, no, it's people
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: are the cause of the wars, not the religion. So please,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: let's let's not go there.
