0:25
Speaker 1: Filling in for Mark, here's Ken Rosato.
0:30
Speaker 3: It almost makes me scratch my head and say, did
0:31
Speaker 3: he just say my name on the Mark Simone show?
0:34
Speaker 3: So nice to be with you. Mark is off again today.
0:37
Speaker 3: He's been enjoying his nice long weekends. Well-deserved. I like
0:41
Speaker 3: the way he does summer. He takes, instead of having right,
0:44
Speaker 3: like a, a week or two weeks stretch and go to,
0:47
Speaker 3: you know, wherever Tahiti, he enjoys his long weekends and
0:51
Speaker 3: he goes somewhere regional and he has a nice time.
0:54
Speaker 3: And that's the way to go. If I could do
0:55
Speaker 3: that every year, I would do it too. Mark knows
0:57
Speaker 3: how to do it with class. That's why he is
0:59
Speaker 3: the great Mark Simone. I am the not as great
1:02
Speaker 3: Ken Rosato, but so nice to be here. For those saying,
1:05
Speaker 3: who is he? Former TV news anchor, used to be
1:07
Speaker 3: on Channel 7 20 years. Before that, I was on
1:10
Speaker 3: Channel 5. And these days, I'm on On New Jersey.
1:15
Speaker 3: I do a morning talk show there. It's a broadcast. Well,
1:18
Speaker 3: not broadcast, but it is a streaming TV channel. That
1:21
Speaker 3: is kind of the new trend to be on a
1:24
Speaker 3: streaming channel. They call them fast channels or streaming channels,
1:28
Speaker 3: and you can catch us live weekdays. ONNJ.com if you
1:32
Speaker 3: want to stream it from anywhere in America. Anyway, we've
1:35
Speaker 3: got a lot to talk about today, and our phone
1:36
Speaker 3: lines are open. Give us a call. We want you
1:39
Speaker 3: to take part in the conversation. The number to call
1:41
Speaker 3: is always 800-321-0710, 800-321-0710. Listening to Curtis and Larry this
1:44
Speaker 3: morning coming in, I love their show whenever they I
1:53
Speaker 3: am off from my show. I always listen to their
1:55
Speaker 3: morning show, and I love them in the morning. And
1:58
Speaker 3: just hearing them talk about President Trump not attending the
2:03
Speaker 3: 25th anniversary ceremony at Ground Zero next month. I don't
2:06
Speaker 3: know about you. Did security pop into anybody's mind? Right away,
2:11
Speaker 3: I'm thinking, what if they got... Now, I don't know
2:14
Speaker 3: anything here. I'm just... I'm talking... With you, I'm just
2:19
Speaker 3: a fellow listener because I listen to the Mark Simone
2:21
Speaker 3: Show every single day. So the first thing that came
2:25
Speaker 3: to my mind is, is the president not coming because
2:27
Speaker 3: maybe there was a security issue? Again, I don't know.
2:30
Speaker 3: I'm throwing it out there. Or at the very least,
2:34
Speaker 3: you have a million, two million people packing into New
2:37
Speaker 3: York City. And it would, at the very least, raise
2:41
Speaker 3: security issues, especially on the 25th anniversary. of this awful,
2:46
Speaker 3: awful event that is a permanent mark on our history
2:51
Speaker 3: in the United States. The worst attack on this country
2:56
Speaker 3: in its history, 9-11-01. And also, I think the president
3:01
Speaker 3: probably wants not to be politically polarizing when so many
3:06
Speaker 3: family members are going to be here. You'll have the
3:09
Speaker 3: vice president there. And you know that the presidents traditionally, well, traditionally,
3:14
Speaker 3: the rule is no politician speaks at this gathering at
3:19
Speaker 3: 9-11 in New York. So he would just stand there,
3:22
Speaker 3: and you don't really know President Trump to show up
3:24
Speaker 3: someplace and not speak, right? That's just not his style.
3:27
Speaker 3: So it makes sense. He's been here before on 9-11, obviously,
3:31
Speaker 3: and presidents do rotate to the different locations. There's the
3:34
Speaker 3: Pentagon also, and there's Pennsylvania. So this year he will
3:37
Speaker 3: be at the Pentagons. and honor those who lost their
3:41
Speaker 3: lives at the Pentagon, while the vice president, Vice President Vance,
3:46
Speaker 3: will be in the lineup of politicians on 9-11 here
3:50
Speaker 3: in New York City. But of course, it raised a
3:52
Speaker 3: lot of eyebrows, and the people on the left are
3:54
Speaker 3: trying to make something of it that isn't necessarily there.
3:58
Speaker 3: And the president, I think, you know, he's doing what
4:01
Speaker 3: is best. There's got to be a reason, and we
4:02
Speaker 3: certainly don't know about it, and may never know about
4:05
Speaker 3: why the decision was made. I did read that he's
4:08
Speaker 3: going to be headed off to Ireland afterward. Maybe it's
4:10
Speaker 3: just an easier thing to do, you know, in his
4:14
Speaker 3: next step, leaving or from Washington to get to Ireland.
4:19
Speaker 3: I don't know. But that is something that I'm sure
4:21
Speaker 3: will come out at maybe sometime down the line in
4:24
Speaker 3: the next few years. But for now, we just don't know.
4:27
Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
4:27
Speaker 3: What do you think about it?
4:28
Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
4:28
Speaker 3: It's Ken Rosato in for the Mark Simone Show on
4:29
Speaker 3: a Friday.
4:36
Speaker 5: Uh.
4:36
Speaker 3: there's a journalist i follow on x formerly twitter on
4:40
Speaker 3: did i gotta watch out saying that did you hear
4:42
Speaker 3: by the way digression there is another company that just
4:45
Speaker 3: bought the name twitter and they're going to be starting
4:48
Speaker 3: a social media site called twitter that it will have
4:51
Speaker 3: no connection at all to elon musk's x so now
4:54
Speaker 3: all the members of the media use this the term
4:58
Speaker 3: and all of us who use the term tweet and
5:00
Speaker 3: Twitter and we say yeah I'm gonna tweet or should
5:02
Speaker 3: I say X yeah now you got to say X
5:04
Speaker 3: because when you say Twitter or tweet you will be
5:06
Speaker 3: referring to a different company so that's a whole different
5:10
Speaker 3: thing now we have to it's taken a few years
5:12
Speaker 3: right to gradually learn X in the vernacular now we
5:15
Speaker 3: just have to say X have we ever decided let
5:17
Speaker 3: me ask Izzy we used to say we tweeted somebody
5:21
Speaker 3: and But did we ever come up with a corresponding
5:25
Speaker 3: verb when you send an X? No, right? We still
5:27
Speaker 3: say tweet. Yeah, so I guess now we'd say we
5:32
Speaker 3: X'd somebody. That almost sounds dirty. You know, I X'd her.
5:36
Speaker 5: Really? What is that?
5:37
Speaker 3: Well, I sent her a message on social media. What
5:39
Speaker 3: are you thinking, dirty-minded individual? But yeah, so that's the deal.
5:44
Speaker 3: I don't know when it takes place, but I thought
5:46
Speaker 3: that was kind of interesting that another company, and why not?
5:49
Speaker 3: But you would think that somebody like an Elon Musk,
5:51
Speaker 3: who's worth more than anyone else on Earth, would have
5:54
Speaker 3: spent the extra $ 200 to own the term Twitter or
5:59
Speaker 3: the URL for Twitter, whatever, forever, just to prevent somebody
6:04
Speaker 3: else from coming up like this and coming up with
6:06
Speaker 3: a new site.
6:07
Speaker 5: I don't know.
6:08
Speaker 3: Just me. It's just the way I think. Getting back
6:10
Speaker 3: to the story, I actually digress there for two minutes.
6:14
Speaker 3: There is a journalist whom I follow on Instagram. I
6:17
Speaker 3: won't say formally, whatever, on X. His name is Paul Sperry.
6:23
Speaker 3: If you don't follow him and you're into politics that
6:26
Speaker 3: are slightly right of center, he's a good guy to follow.
6:29
Speaker 3: He posted that the investigative site Real Clear Investigations, which
6:35
Speaker 3: is a very accurate investigatory group of journalists, they had
6:41
Speaker 3: analysis that found that Islamic activists now hold at least
6:46
Speaker 3: 10 high-ranking positions at New York City Hall, including several
6:53
Speaker 3: alum of the Terror Tide Council on American Islamic Relations, CARE,
6:58
Speaker 3: which has always been at the forefront of whatever federal investigation,
7:02
Speaker 3: depending on who was in office at the time. Anytime
7:05
Speaker 3: we have a right-leaning politician in office, they keep an
7:08
Speaker 3: eye on CARE. The FBI says CARE, C-A-I-R, is a
7:14
Speaker 3: front for Hamas. Now, this report, again, this is a
7:18
Speaker 3: report by Real Clear Investigations. The report goes on to
7:23
Speaker 3: say that some of the new Muslim officials at City
7:27
Speaker 3: Hall in New York are in a position to influence
7:30
Speaker 3: the city's anti-terror policies and the selection of judges. So
7:36
Speaker 3: that makes you scratch your head. I mean, look, if
7:40
Speaker 3: you are an Italian-American, go back 50 years. Every time
7:44
Speaker 3: an Italian-American got elected into office, everybody assumed they were
7:47
Speaker 3: connected to the mob. Oh, they must be connected to
7:49
Speaker 3: the mob. Oh, he's Italian. Sinatra, you must know the mob.
7:53
Speaker 3: Everybody must be the mob. This is the mob, that.
7:55
Speaker 3: So I get it from that perspective. I have an
7:57
Speaker 3: O at the end of my name. And a lot
7:59
Speaker 3: of people, I'm sure, thought, oh, I wonder if he
8:01
Speaker 3: knows anyone in the mob. For the record, I don't.
8:03
Speaker 3: Never have met anyone that I know of who is connected.
8:05
Speaker 3: I'm sure there have been some. I just don't know.
8:09
Speaker 3: And they were good enough not to share that with me.
8:12
Speaker 3: But the point is, you know, other groups have gotten that. OK,
8:16
Speaker 3: if you're Italian, you must be connected to the mob.
8:19
Speaker 3: If the mayor is Muslim, he must be connected to
8:22
Speaker 3: care or Hamas. Clearly, that's not the case.
8:25
Speaker 4: Right.
8:25
Speaker 3: We don't want to paint with that broader brush. I'm
8:28
Speaker 3: telling you what this investigatory agency that is pretty accurate
8:33
Speaker 3: with its investigations. They have an analysis, again, that says 10,
8:38
Speaker 3: at least 10 high ranking positions at New York City Hall.
8:41
Speaker 3: are now held by Islamic activists, including several alums, people
8:46
Speaker 3: who used to actually work with CARE, which the FBI
8:49
Speaker 3: says is Hamas-run. And you could say, okay, so they
8:52
Speaker 3: used to work with CARE. They don't work with them anymore.
8:54
Speaker 3: You're right. So maybe there's absolutely nothing to it. But
8:57
Speaker 3: do we want to look into this, especially when these
8:59
Speaker 3: individuals are in a position to influence the city's anti-terror
9:04
Speaker 3: policies and the selection of judges? I think it's worth
9:08
Speaker 3: looking into. And if I were them, I would want
9:11
Speaker 3: them to look into me. Clear my name. Let me
9:14
Speaker 3: prove to you that I have nothing to do with
9:15
Speaker 3: anything nefarious. I work for City Hall. Leave me alone.
9:18
Speaker 3: So that's what I'm saying. What do you have to
9:21
Speaker 3: say about it?
9:21
Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
9:21
Speaker 3: And how about this latest information about Mayor Mamdani's brilliant
9:28
Speaker 3: city-owned supermarket idea? Well, first, the mayor said the markets
9:32
Speaker 3: were going to cost about 20 million bucks, right? Then
9:35
Speaker 3: it was going to be about 70 million dollars. Well,
9:37
Speaker 3: now the Republican candidate for New York State Comptroller says,
9:41
Speaker 3: nice try, Zoran. Break out the calculator. This individual says
9:46
Speaker 3: the supermarket plan will actually cost the city closer to
9:50
Speaker 3: $ 300 million in the first few years, a third of
9:56
Speaker 3: a billion dollars. He breaks it down as about $ 700
10:00
Speaker 3: million for construction costs, $ 106 million in operating, $ 30 million
10:05
Speaker 3: in lost revenue from nearby bodegas and grocery stores all
10:09
Speaker 3: over the next few years. The mayor is saying that
10:11
Speaker 3: each market is going to cost roughly $ 30 million to build. Now,
10:16
Speaker 3: I've heard Mark talk about this over and over again.
10:19
Speaker 3: Mark knows several people who are very big in the
10:21
Speaker 3: supermarket industry. Many of you probably know to whom I
10:24
Speaker 3: am referring. He has a Greek name in New York City.
10:28
Speaker 3: And that individual has talked about, Izzy is smiling at
10:31
Speaker 3: me right now. You used to work for that individual,
10:33
Speaker 3: didn't you, Izzy? And many people know who I'm talking about.
10:37
Speaker 3: But this individual is the biggest supermarket owner in New
10:40
Speaker 3: York City. And he has said that you could build
10:43
Speaker 3: your own supermarket for between $ 150, 000 and $ 750, 000. If you
10:48
Speaker 3: bought an existing supermarket with a cash flow, it would cost,
10:53
Speaker 3: depending on the cash flow, depending on how much profit
10:55
Speaker 3: it's generating, usually anywhere from $ 1. 5 to $ 3 million. So
11:00
Speaker 3: why is the mayor saying, well, we need $ 30 million
11:03
Speaker 3: or $ 20 million? He's saying $ 20 million to open a supermarket.
11:07
Speaker 3: When the biggest supermarket moguls in New York City are
11:11
Speaker 3: saying no, even if you bought a supermarket that was
11:14
Speaker 3: in a prime location generating money, cash flow minus the
11:19
Speaker 3: stock of course I'm talking about the building in a
11:22
Speaker 3: great location that that has a name you know you're
11:26
Speaker 3: talking about one and a half to three million dollars
11:28
Speaker 3: so where does the mayor come up with 20 million
11:30
Speaker 3: I'll tell you when the mayor comes up with 20
11:32
Speaker 3: million he's never owned anything in his whole life he's
11:34
Speaker 3: never been a business person his whole life mommy and
11:37
Speaker 3: daddy were worth hundreds of millions of dollars and and
11:39
Speaker 3: kind of gave him whatever he wanted and He doesn't
11:41
Speaker 3: have a clue. He talks with his college-educated, far-left-wing friends,
11:45
Speaker 3: and this is what they come up with. They're like, well,
11:47
Speaker 3: we're going to need $ 20 million. Nice when you're dealing
11:49
Speaker 3: with other people's money. Nice when you talk about people
11:52
Speaker 3: who have a pied-à-terre and you want to charge them
11:54
Speaker 3: a fortune in taxes. Nice if you want to charge
11:57
Speaker 3: every millionaire in New York City. There are thousands and
12:00
Speaker 3: thousands of them, by the way, because your properties probably
12:04
Speaker 3: were purchased at $ 100, 000 and 20 years later are worth
12:07
Speaker 3: a million. That's just the way it goes. And then
12:10
Speaker 3: everybody's going to be paying these taxes and the mayor's
12:11
Speaker 3: going to take your money and spend way more than
12:15
Speaker 3: necessary to build a supermarket in order to give things
12:19
Speaker 3: away or charge pennies on the dollar for them, which
12:23
Speaker 3: really isn't the case because, again, it's going to be
12:25
Speaker 3: your tax dollars that he's going to be using to
12:28
Speaker 3: give away things at 30 cents on the dollar. That's
12:31
Speaker 3: the way it works with socialists. They win over votes
12:34
Speaker 3: that way, make people happy, get the great unwashed tax.
12:37
Speaker 3: to say, oh, look at the mayor. He cares about us.
12:41
Speaker 3: So he's going to take money. It's like Robin Hood.
12:44
Speaker 3: Rob from the rich and give to the poor, right?
12:45
Speaker 3: Only the rich aren't that rich. The rich are like
12:48
Speaker 3: middle class in New York. A million dollar, if you
12:51
Speaker 3: own a million dollar apartment in New York, I know
12:53
Speaker 3: anywhere else on the planet, you would be super uber wealthy.
12:57
Speaker 3: In New York City, you're like, yeah, middle upper middle.
13:00
Speaker 3: That's the reality. I don't have a place in New
13:02
Speaker 3: York City because I can't afford it. I live in Jersey.
13:04
Speaker 3: In fact, I even just moved further South in Jersey
13:06
Speaker 3: to get more place. Cause if you want more place,
13:09
Speaker 3: you got to move further out of the cities. You
13:11
Speaker 3: got to move further away from Philadelphia or farther away.
13:14
Speaker 3: Excuse me. Thinking back to my English class in high school, further, farther,
13:18
Speaker 3: farther is distance. Further is like on paper.
13:21
Speaker 5: Okay. Sorry.
13:22
Speaker 3: Digress. Um, I had to move farther away from New
13:26
Speaker 3: York city to get more of a place, right? For
13:28
Speaker 3: the money. I did get a nice place, but it's
13:30
Speaker 3: an hour and a half away. But that's the reality.
13:33
Speaker 3: That's what you got to do. If you want to
13:34
Speaker 3: live in New York City, you got to pay. So
13:36
Speaker 3: the question is, at what point are we charging too much?
13:41
Speaker 3: You know, people like Sean Hannity have questioned socialist types
13:44
Speaker 3: on his show and both radio and TV and asked,
13:47
Speaker 3: how much is too much? When you keep saying the
13:50
Speaker 3: rich aren't paying their fair share, how much is their
13:53
Speaker 3: fair share? 70%? Is 90% their fair share? At what point? Well, Ken,
13:59
Speaker 3: who needs a billion dollars? Who the hell are you
14:03
Speaker 3: to say they don't? You don't know what they have
14:06
Speaker 3: in mind. They could take that billion and they could
14:08
Speaker 3: build a company that has 500 locations that employs 50,000 people.
14:13
Speaker 3: You don't know. And it's none of your freaking business
14:16
Speaker 3: what they do with their billion dollars, quite honestly. I
14:19
Speaker 3: don't have that kind of money. But I applaud somebody
14:21
Speaker 3: who figures out a way to honestly earn that. And yes,
14:25
Speaker 3: you can honestly earn that based on the way the
14:27
Speaker 3: system is set up legally and legitimately. So please stop
14:32
Speaker 3: the jealousy because that's what socialists do. They use jealousy
14:37
Speaker 3: in order to make you despise somebody who has earned
14:40
Speaker 3: their lot in life and make it look like they
14:43
Speaker 3: got it with ill-gotten goods, that they shouldn't have that money.
14:47
Speaker 3: It was passed on from their daddy and mommy, and
14:49
Speaker 3: that's not fair. Or they stole it in business and they,
14:54
Speaker 3: you know, kissed somebody's butt and got some kind of
14:57
Speaker 3: a backdoor deal. You know, does that happen?
15:00
Speaker 4: Sure.
15:00
Speaker 3: Does it happen all the time? Every time? No, it doesn't.
15:05
Speaker 3: It does happen sometimes. So you know what? Build a
15:09
Speaker 3: better birdhouse or a doghouse. Come up with something better.
15:13
Speaker 3: Come up with a better idea. Look at how many
15:15
Speaker 3: millionaires and billionaires today did exactly that. It can be done.
15:19
Speaker 3: So here's a big question. Why is Mamdani wanting to
15:23
Speaker 3: build this network of one, two, three, four, five, you know,
15:27
Speaker 3: one per borough supermarkets when there are already 5,700 supermarkets
15:34
Speaker 3: throughout New York City? Why not give people, you know,
15:39
Speaker 3: you could go online and create an app using AI
15:42
Speaker 3: right now. It would take about a minute. I've done it.
15:46
Speaker 3: You literally go to these sites, there are about 20
15:49
Speaker 3: sites now that have AI and you could literally type
15:52
Speaker 3: in the details of what you want in an app.
15:56
Speaker 3: I want an app that takes somebody's picture and gives
16:00
Speaker 3: them blonde hair and blue eyes, full lips and a
16:03
Speaker 3: sexy body, whatever. I'm just making that up. And you
16:06
Speaker 3: give the AI 10 pictures and it will create 10
16:10
Speaker 3: versions of those images. You could do anything like that
16:14
Speaker 3: with AI today. And it does it within seconds. So
16:18
Speaker 3: why not create a city app that would cost you
16:23
Speaker 3: nothing to create? Make it downloadable to people who qualify
16:27
Speaker 3: financially or to anyone. The mayor is saying he doesn't
16:30
Speaker 3: want to make it just for people who can't afford
16:32
Speaker 3: certain groceries. Let anyone who wants... These groceries have them.
16:36
Speaker 3: And by the way, the mayor has changed his tune
16:38
Speaker 3: like that because he wants to put grocers out of business.
16:42
Speaker 3: He's now saying that he wants anyone to be able
16:45
Speaker 3: to afford 30% off this and 30% off that. Anyone. Well,
16:50
Speaker 3: that sounds really good. Again, what's the difference between 30%
16:53
Speaker 3: off and free? It's just one notch away. Somebody's paying.
16:59
Speaker 3: You're taking city tax dollars that you're taking from people.
17:03
Speaker 3: You're stealing from people. You're ordering at the end of
17:05
Speaker 3: a gun because otherwise you'll confiscate their properties, their goods,
17:09
Speaker 3: their money in their bank account, etc. So you say
17:12
Speaker 3: you must pay this money. And then you take that
17:14
Speaker 3: money and you give it to somebody else. For what purpose?
17:17
Speaker 3: And the other person you're giving it to, you're saying
17:19
Speaker 3: doesn't have to qualify financially. So you're just taking it
17:21
Speaker 3: from person A and giving it to person B willy-nilly
17:24
Speaker 3: whom you decide to give it to. Well, that's called theft.
17:28
Speaker 3: If we did that in real life outside of City Hall,
17:30
Speaker 3: you'd go to jail because But I digress again. If
17:35
Speaker 3: the mayor wants to do this, why not create an
17:39
Speaker 3: app and on the app create a coupon, a little barcode.
17:43
Speaker 3: And anybody who wants to get the 30% off milk, eggs, butter, bread,
17:48
Speaker 3: all the basic staples, they have that app, right, with
17:52
Speaker 3: the barcode. You go to any supermarket in the city
17:55
Speaker 3: or any bodega, you buy your eggs, bread, cheese, whatever.
18:00
Speaker 3: You come up to the counter, and then when you're
18:02
Speaker 3: checking out, you just scan it like you would scan
18:04
Speaker 3: any other coupon. The guy behind you in line doesn't
18:07
Speaker 3: know that that's not a regular coupon. You're not embarrassed
18:09
Speaker 3: that way. You get your 30% off or whatever, however
18:13
Speaker 3: much you want to give, and boom, you're on your way. Now,
18:16
Speaker 3: somebody who's poor doesn't have to take three subways to
18:20
Speaker 3: get to the Mamdani market and wait in a two-hour
18:22
Speaker 3: line like you're in a bread line in the former
18:25
Speaker 3: Soviet Union. You can go to any market. The local
18:28
Speaker 3: market owner still has you coming in and shopping, making money.
18:33
Speaker 5: Is he?
18:33
Speaker 3: Am I the only one who's thought of this? And
18:35
Speaker 3: he's saying, maybe. Everybody's happy. But no, you know what
18:41
Speaker 3: the mayor says? He doesn't want to do this because
18:43
Speaker 3: he wants to create the competition. He wants to put
18:46
Speaker 3: an artificially propped up market in an area where there
18:50
Speaker 3: are other markets to force the other markets to lower
18:53
Speaker 3: their profits. Well, guess what? They're only making 3% profit already.
18:57
Speaker 3: You can't lower it 30%. They'd go out of business.
19:00
Speaker 3: The only reason the city can afford to lower it
19:02
Speaker 3: that much is they're doing it with your tax dollars.
19:05
Speaker 3: So he's using your tax dollars to put legitimate taxpaying
19:08
Speaker 3: business owners out of business. That's the craziness. But then
19:12
Speaker 3: on the other side, he says he needs to build
19:14
Speaker 3: the markets because of food deserts. He needs to build
19:18
Speaker 3: the markets because there aren't supermarkets in certain areas. Well,
19:20
Speaker 3: which is it, Mayor? Is it that there are food
19:23
Speaker 3: deserts and that's why you need to build these markets?
19:25
Speaker 3: Or there are plenty of markets and you want to
19:28
Speaker 3: force them to lower their costs? Can't have it both ways.
19:31
Speaker 3: We're going to be talking with somebody, by the way,
19:33
Speaker 3: later on in the broadcast who's going to be talking
19:35
Speaker 3: about what this does to business and also what rent
19:39
Speaker 3: control does to the housing market in New York. That's
19:42
Speaker 3: coming up in our next hour.
19:43
Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
19:44
Speaker 3: You're listening to 710WOR, The Voice of New York. Ken
19:49
Speaker 3: Rosato in for Mark Simone on a Friday. And we're
19:52
Speaker 3: going to come back and take your phone calls in
19:54
Speaker 3: just a few minutes. First, a little more dialogue or
19:57
Speaker 3: monologue and then dialogue in just five minutes here in WOR.
20:01
Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show, now nine till noon.
20:04
Speaker 2: Weekdays on 710WOR.
20:06
Speaker 1: Guest hosting for Mark today, here's Ken Rosato.
20:12
Speaker 3: It's so nice to be with you on a Friday.
20:13
Speaker 3: Staying on the topic of Zoran Mamdani for a few moments,
20:16
Speaker 3: the mayor posted on X once again that he was
20:19
Speaker 3: deeply saddened by the in-custody death of 41-year-old inmate Clarence Woodward.
20:25
Speaker 3: He was an ex-con and now con, or was a
20:28
Speaker 3: con until he died. with nearly 30 arrests under his belt.
20:33
Speaker 3: And he was found dead in his Rikers jail cell
20:36
Speaker 3: Tuesday while he was awaiting trial for the 2024 murder
20:39
Speaker 3: of Jose Miranda at a Bronx laundromat. Now, this was
20:43
Speaker 3: the seventh death of an inmate at Rikers this year.
20:46
Speaker 3: Mamdani posted, quote, my thoughts are with his family and
20:49
Speaker 3: loved ones as they grieve this loss. So what did
20:54
Speaker 3: Mamdani say to the family of Woodward's alleged victim? Exactly.
20:59
Speaker 6: Nothing.
21:00
Speaker 3: Disgusting. 45-year-old Jose Miranda was a father of two. He
21:05
Speaker 3: worked as a barber. He was literally hacked to death
21:09
Speaker 3: on surveillance video, allegedly by the career criminal Woodward. It
21:13
Speaker 3: appears to be Woodward. Of course, a trial would have
21:16
Speaker 3: determined if that were in fact the case. But nonetheless,
21:19
Speaker 3: this was a 45-year-old hardworking dad, husband, father of two,
21:24
Speaker 3: and he was stabbed to death viciously on video. But
21:29
Speaker 3: this is what liberals do. They always run to the
21:32
Speaker 3: aid of criminals and wrongdoers, repainting them sympathetically as victims
21:39
Speaker 3: when they are in fact the victimizers. Throughout history, socialists,
21:43
Speaker 3: communists have done that. Just like calling men who are
21:48
Speaker 3: trans women and want to give birth, or I should say,
21:51
Speaker 3: I always confuse that, women who become men but retain
21:56
Speaker 3: their female parts as uh... birthing parents because they look
22:00
Speaker 3: like men but could still have babies you know this
22:02
Speaker 3: kind of confusion no they're not birthing parents you're either
22:05
Speaker 3: a mother or father right no matter what your physical
22:07
Speaker 3: appearance you're the mother or the father but liberals always
22:10
Speaker 3: try to rewrite the definitions to confuse us and then
22:14
Speaker 3: they look at us like we're the weirdos when we
22:17
Speaker 3: say who's the birthing parent what do you mean who's
22:19
Speaker 3: the birthing parent this is what they do uh... and
22:22
Speaker 3: or somebody who because of Their choice of pronouns, if
22:26
Speaker 3: you accidentally mispronounce somebody with a deeper voice than me
22:29
Speaker 3: and a big Adam's apple and manhook hands, but wearing
22:32
Speaker 3: a dress and makeup and a blonde wig, and you
22:34
Speaker 3: accidentally say he instead of she or they, suddenly you're
22:38
Speaker 3: the bad person when you had no ill intent. This
22:41
Speaker 3: is what liberals do, and they've done it for decades.
22:43
Speaker 3: It's all part of the communist playbook. Don't let it
22:47
Speaker 3: fool you. 710WOR, the voice of New York. Partly cloudy
22:52
Speaker 3: skies right through Monday. Highs in the low to mid hours.
22:55
Speaker 3: Low to mid 80s. Hour one of the all-new three-hour
22:59
Speaker 3: Mark Simone Show. Ken Rosato in for Mark. Now nine
23:02
Speaker 3: till noon weekdays.
23:04
Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on 710WOR. Guest hosting for Mark today.
23:10
Speaker 1: Here's Ken Rosato.
23:13
Speaker 3: You know, the funny thing about this 9 a.m. hour
23:15
Speaker 3: for Mark Simone is it still has that new hour smell,
23:19
Speaker 3: doesn't it, Izzy? It sort of smells like, you know,
23:21
Speaker 3: when you get a new car, the leather seat smell.
23:23
Speaker 3: That's sort of what the 9 a.m. hour for the
23:24
Speaker 3: Mark Simone Show smells. It'll smell that way for about
23:26
Speaker 3: six months, and then after that, you'll say, we need
23:28
Speaker 3: to buy one of those little tree air fresheners to
23:31
Speaker 3: hang by the microphone. I'm sure Simone would love that.
23:36
Speaker 3: I'll leave one of those air fresheners by the mic,
23:38
Speaker 3: and he could say, ugh, when he comes back. 710 WOR,
23:43
Speaker 3: the voice of New York. This is Ken Rosato, the
23:45
Speaker 3: former Channel 7 News guy, very happily filling in for
23:48
Speaker 3: the best in the business, Mark Simone. We go to
23:51
Speaker 3: our busy phones right now. Joe in Elmwood Park, Bergen County,
23:55
Speaker 3: along the beautiful Passaic River. Good morning to you, Joe.
23:59
Speaker 7: Good morning, Ken. Two points. Liberalism is a mental disorder,
24:04
Speaker 7: and it's right out of the commie handbook. It's class warfare.
24:07
Speaker 7: They want to make class warfare.
24:10
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, to call it a mental disorder,
24:13
Speaker 3: I think you're being unfair to people with mental disorders. Secondly,
24:18
Speaker 3: you're absolutely right. It is out of the playbook. And
24:21
Speaker 3: people who think, oh, you're exaggerating. You're just a conspiracy theorist.
24:24
Speaker 3: It is absolutely 100% right out of the little red book.
24:29
Speaker 3: This is how you get people. Yep, that's it. Sol Alinsky.
24:32
Speaker 3: This is the way they've done it. How are things
24:33
Speaker 3: in beautiful New Jersey this morning? I miss New Jersey
24:37
Speaker 3: since I left.
24:39
Speaker 7: The liberals like to spend everybody else's tax money.
24:42
Speaker 3: You know how it is. The wonderful governor. I'm guessing
24:46
Speaker 3: you did not vote for Mikey.
24:49
Speaker 7: No, and I don't know. To this day, I don't
24:51
Speaker 7: know why Jack Chiarelli's not contesting this election. I don't
24:56
Speaker 7: know why.
24:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, because unfortunately, every single position in the state of
24:59
Speaker 3: New Jersey is controlled by Democrats. That's why he would
25:01
Speaker 3: be cut off at every point. And you know what?
25:04
Speaker 3: Jack's worked very hard to make a lot of money.
25:06
Speaker 3: I think at this point he should just go and
25:08
Speaker 3: enjoy every penny that he's worked very hard to earn.
25:11
Speaker 3: Joe in Elmwood Park, my friend, thank you. It's always
25:14
Speaker 3: a pleasure to talk to you. I appreciate the call.
25:15
Speaker 5: Thank you, Ken.
25:16
Speaker 3: Thank you, man. Have a good weekend. You bet. We
25:19
Speaker 3: go to my home county where I was born and raised, Westchester. Robert,
25:22
Speaker 3: good morning.
25:25
Speaker 5: Morning, Ken. Buongiorno. How are you?
25:27
Speaker 1: Buongiorno.
25:27
Speaker 3: Good, my friend.
25:28
Speaker 5: All right. I got two questions for you. Hopefully you
25:32
Speaker 5: can answer them for me. The first is, I thought
25:35
Speaker 5: the Supreme Court said with this mail-in ballot that's done,
25:39
Speaker 5: let the president proceed, and then you can take it
25:42
Speaker 5: up another time. Now, all of a sudden, another federal
25:44
Speaker 5: judge comes in and says, nope, put a hold on it.
25:48
Speaker 5: But doesn't that slap in the face of the Supreme Court?
25:51
Speaker 3: Yes and no. So the thing is, it's the way
25:54
Speaker 3: it was written. And it's going, they literally, unless they
25:59
Speaker 3: write things in great specificity, and they didn't on purpose,
26:03
Speaker 3: unless they write things in great specificity, people can challenge aspects,
26:08
Speaker 3: just like abortion. You know, Roe versus Wade. Remember, R.V.
26:11
Speaker 3: Wade originally said very specifically that legalized abortion, basically, at
26:17
Speaker 3: the time, okay? But then later, each state had its
26:20
Speaker 3: own little imposition of, well, you can only do it
26:22
Speaker 3: the first three months, the first trimester, the second trimester,
26:26
Speaker 3: only if the mother's life is in danger, etc., So
26:30
Speaker 3: there are ways around it, depending on the specificity of
26:32
Speaker 3: the Supreme Court finding.
26:34
Speaker 5: But whoever is soliciting for the government on behalf of
26:38
Speaker 5: the president and his executive order, I would hope this
26:41
Speaker 5: person would have the know-it-all to say, okay, let's make
26:45
Speaker 5: this lock tight. Unless the onus now falls on the
26:48
Speaker 5: Supreme Court that they left a little... gap in there
26:51
Speaker 5: for them to contest it because this is ridiculous now
26:54
Speaker 5: it's going to go a week before that they have
26:56
Speaker 5: to go out we know this this is all about
26:58
Speaker 5: which brings me to my second question whoever out there
27:01
Speaker 5: who can hear this why would you vote left why
27:05
Speaker 5: would you even think of it they what they've done
27:08
Speaker 5: for the past four years under biden between the border
27:12
Speaker 5: between the uh the the what is that the auto
27:15
Speaker 5: peg where people are getting okay yeah they gave someone
27:18
Speaker 5: who committed treason of a get out of jail. That's horrifying.
27:23
Speaker 5: And then now with everything else that's going on with
27:25
Speaker 5: the fixing, who doesn't want this? Even 70, what did
27:28
Speaker 5: they say? 78% of Democrats say yes. We should have
27:32
Speaker 5: voter ID, and it should be... Everybody talks about Canada
27:36
Speaker 5: with health care. Do you know what they do in Canada?
27:38
Speaker 5: You first have to be on their voter rolls. Then
27:41
Speaker 5: they're going to send you a card to make sure
27:43
Speaker 5: to verify you still live at that address. Then, after
27:47
Speaker 5: they receive it back, then they give you permission to vote.
27:50
Speaker 5: here no no just send out the ballot sister this
27:53
Speaker 5: is what I mean this is this with exhausting and
27:55
Speaker 5: and just aggravating look at.
27:57
Speaker 3: People listen Robert I'm sure you've heard of this and
28:01
Speaker 3: I happen to know people who used to live in
28:03
Speaker 3: California who moved to other states they're still getting ballots
28:07
Speaker 3: forwarded to them because if they're mail forwarding they're getting
28:10
Speaker 3: ballots forwarded to them and they've been in other states
28:13
Speaker 3: for years and the funny thing is members of their
28:16
Speaker 3: families who are registered Democrats are sometimes getting two or
28:20
Speaker 3: three ballots in the mail, and those who are registered
28:23
Speaker 3: Republicans are getting none or one. Find that a little curious, too, eh, Robert?
28:27
Speaker 3: I don't know. I love the way that works. But
28:29
Speaker 3: that's the game they play. That's why until they have
28:31
Speaker 3: a total overhaul, and until wusses like John Thune get
28:35
Speaker 3: off their butts and do their jobs in the U.S. Senate,
28:38
Speaker 3: codifying what the president wants in terms of the Fair
28:41
Speaker 3: Voting Act and protecting voting in America, we're going to
28:45
Speaker 3: have this problem.
28:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he and there is the rhinos. I don't
28:51
Speaker 5: care if you can't stand President Trump. You have to
28:54
Speaker 5: look toward our country. If you don't vote, I can't understand,
28:59
Speaker 5: especially what's her name? Murkowski, the one from the left? Oh,
29:02
Speaker 5: people live so far away. Well, look at the shenanigans
29:04
Speaker 5: that Democrats are pulling there. They're pulling the same thing
29:07
Speaker 5: Joe Kennedy did for John Kennedy when he was running
29:10
Speaker 5: for Congress. You heard about that story? The guy he
29:13
Speaker 5: was running against was in a paisan. And then he
29:15
Speaker 5: got a guy who was a plumber with the same
29:17
Speaker 5: name to go on the walls. They split the vote.
29:20
Speaker 5: Don't you people see? They can't win unless they cheat.
29:25
Speaker 3: They look at it as you come up with the
29:27
Speaker 3: same tricks that we come up with then. Part of
29:29
Speaker 3: the problem is we don't do that on the right.
29:32
Speaker 3: We just don't do that. And I've even had this
29:34
Speaker 3: debate with my brother, whom I love forever. My brother,
29:37
Speaker 3: six years older, always says, no, it's not right to
29:39
Speaker 3: do this. My brother's very, very honest and down the line.
29:42
Speaker 3: He believes that you don't combat the problem by compounding it.
29:48
Speaker 3: But I believe in order to get to a point
29:51
Speaker 3: where we could make it fair, sometimes you may have
29:54
Speaker 3: to play by their rules sometimes. In order to gain
29:56
Speaker 3: the upper hand and then make it blanket policy that
30:00
Speaker 3: nobody violates those rules again. Go ahead, Robert. I'm sorry.
30:04
Speaker 3: Go ahead.
30:06
Speaker 5: No, I just wanted to say I don't want to
30:07
Speaker 5: give them a whataboutism. I believe we should stand on
30:10
Speaker 5: our principles that the way our founders gave it to us.
30:12
Speaker 5: But we should expose this and then we should stick
30:14
Speaker 5: together and say this has to be legal and it
30:18
Speaker 5: has to be pure. Because if we take this away,
30:21
Speaker 5: it's no good anymore.
30:22
Speaker 3: Robert, exposing it is with what? With the left-wing media
30:26
Speaker 3: that won't because they look at everything we talk about
30:29
Speaker 3: from the right as being baloney? That's part of the problem.
30:33
Speaker 3: I sat in those newsrooms, Robert. You know how many
30:35
Speaker 3: times I used to eat bottles of Tums in the morning?
30:37
Speaker 3: Because I would sit there and look at nine anti-Trump
30:40
Speaker 3: stories online. at the various stations I worked at, and
30:43
Speaker 3: there would be one story that was sort of in
30:45
Speaker 3: the middle, and they would call that balance. And I
30:47
Speaker 3: would look at them and say, are you out of
30:48
Speaker 3: your mind? But this is what you get in the newsrooms,
30:51
Speaker 3: because all the members of the media come out of
30:53
Speaker 3: the same journalism schools with the same mentality. They all
30:56
Speaker 3: live on the Upper West Side, and they're all liberals.
30:58
Speaker 3: It is what it is.
30:59
Speaker 5: No argument, but the last thing I want to say is,
31:03
Speaker 5: guys like you, guys like Mark, and other people on
31:07
Speaker 5: the right who have this voice, you are the answer.
31:10
Speaker 5: I don't believe we should sink down to their level
31:12
Speaker 5: because then we become them. And that's just the way
31:15
Speaker 5: I feel. God bless you, my friend.
31:16
Speaker 3: I wish you all the best. And you as well.
31:18
Speaker 3: I appreciate it. And thank you for the blessing. I'll
31:20
Speaker 3: take that, too. Thank you. I appreciate it, Robert. Have
31:22
Speaker 3: a nice weekend. And we go to our friend Bonnie
31:24
Speaker 3: on Long Island. Good morning, Bonnie.
31:26
Speaker 4: Good morning to you. I have two quotes about socialism
31:30
Speaker 4: by two of the longstanding, brilliant prime ministers of England.
31:35
Speaker 4: I'm quoting directly. Winston Churchill said, socialism is the equal
31:40
Speaker 4: sharing of misery. And Margaret Thatcher said, socialism works until
31:47
Speaker 4: you run out of other people's money. Do I need
31:50
Speaker 4: to say anything else?
31:51
Speaker 3: It's 100% correct. Both are right. And the reason why
31:54
Speaker 3: we smile is because of the correctness in both statements.
31:58
Speaker 3: And all you have to do is look at history
32:00
Speaker 3: and you can understand that that is exactly the case
32:03
Speaker 3: in both incidences. But the problem is you have a
32:08
Speaker 3: society now where we have indoctrinated kids in school since
32:12
Speaker 3: the 50s and 60s. That's where it really started, where
32:15
Speaker 3: you had far left wingers take over our education system.
32:19
Speaker 3: So when you have kids coming out of school, some
32:21
Speaker 3: who still have close relationships with their families come out
32:24
Speaker 3: of those schools and still think like their families think
32:28
Speaker 3: and and have at least an open mind. And they say, well,
32:31
Speaker 3: I could understand why liberals think this. And this is
32:33
Speaker 3: why I still think that. However, you have the kids
32:35
Speaker 3: who come out of families that didn't talk politics, who
32:39
Speaker 3: don't have a knowledge of politics. They go to those schools,
32:42
Speaker 3: get indoctrinated, come out and have one side. in mind.
32:47
Speaker 3: And that's it. And then they move forward in society
32:50
Speaker 3: as ardent liberals. And these are the, these are the kids,
32:53
Speaker 3: the girls who, who color their hair green and get
32:55
Speaker 3: the septum piercings. And they're all overweight and rather unattractive.
32:59
Speaker 3: If I may add, Ken, what does that have to
33:01
Speaker 3: do with it? It says something about the psychological state.
33:04
Speaker 3: I think, uh, remember I used to weigh 400 pounds
33:07
Speaker 3: at one point in my life and I know where
33:08
Speaker 3: I was psychologically then too. So, uh, I'm just speaking
33:12
Speaker 3: from experience, but, uh, I think that that is part
33:15
Speaker 3: of the problem. And until we get a grasp of
33:18
Speaker 3: our education system and get it back, Bonnie, I think
33:20
Speaker 3: the problem is going to continue. But we appreciate the call.
33:23
Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
33:23
Speaker 4: 800-321-0710.
33:28
Speaker 3: We're going to come right back. We'll take more of
33:30
Speaker 3: your calls in just a moment at 710WOR. It's the
33:33
Speaker 3: Mark Simone Show.
33:34
Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios. Guest hosting for Mark today.
33:40
Speaker 3: Here's Ken Rosado. Good to be with you on your Friday.
33:44
Speaker 3: We go back to our busy phones. Let's go to
33:45
Speaker 3: Jacob in Denver, Colorado. Hello, Jacob. How are the wildfires
33:48
Speaker 3: out there?
33:51
Speaker 6: They've calmed down, I think.
33:52
Speaker 3: Thankfully.
33:53
Speaker 6: I just wanted to say the ballots are precinct. specific,
33:57
Speaker 6: meaning that if a ballot is forwarded from one address
34:01
Speaker 6: to the other and the other address doesn't reside in
34:03
Speaker 6: that precinct, that in itself is mail fraud. Even in
34:07
Speaker 6: every rule in every Secretary of State's Yes, but.
34:10
Speaker 3: You can change on the voter registration app. Listen, I
34:17
Speaker 3: know people who live in Florida 51% of the year, legitimately,
34:22
Speaker 3: and they can vote. They get their ballot mailed to
34:26
Speaker 3: them in states all over the country, and all they
34:29
Speaker 3: have to do is go on the app and change
34:30
Speaker 3: the address to which they want the ballot mailed. But
34:33
Speaker 3: how do you really know, unless the state investigates each.
34:36
Speaker 6: Individual, right? That's the thing. That's if the residence is temporary.
34:41
Speaker 6: But if somebody literally picks up and moves and tells
34:44
Speaker 6: the post office, forward my mail to another address because
34:48
Speaker 6: that's my permanent address, then that ballot that is precinct-specific
34:54
Speaker 6: can have to be used in the new precinct. Right.
34:57
Speaker 3: Two things, though. Once again, if somebody is from California
35:02
Speaker 3: and they move to Missouri and they have the... They
35:05
Speaker 3: could claim... that they still have a California address, but
35:10
Speaker 3: that they want their ballot. They could have a cousin
35:13
Speaker 3: in California and they want their ballot mail to Missouri.
35:16
Speaker 3: So they list the cousin Joe's address in California and
35:19
Speaker 3: they get their ballot mail to Missouri. We don't know
35:21
Speaker 3: how many people are doing that. And I think that's
35:24
Speaker 3: why you really have to have a thorough review.
35:26
Speaker 6: They do know because when they change the address on
35:29
Speaker 6: your driver's license, it goes through a national database. That's,
35:34
Speaker 6: all fighting about now. Right.
35:36
Speaker 3: And, and again, let me, let me repeat, I'll do one,
35:38
Speaker 3: one last time. If you, you can have uncle Joe's
35:41
Speaker 3: address listed in California as your, as your address, that's
35:45
Speaker 3: the problem. And then still be in Missouri and voting.
35:49
Speaker 3: The thing is you're only supposed to vote in one election,
35:51
Speaker 3: one state and all too many people vote in both Jacob.
35:54
Speaker 3: We got to go because we're up against the 10
35:56
Speaker 3: o'clock news, but thanks so much for calling lots more
35:59
Speaker 3: ahead on the Mark Simone show. Ken Rosato on W
36:01
