  Speaker 1: Now, the Mark Simone Show on 710WOR. Filling in for Mark,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: here's Ken Rosado. So nice to be with you on
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a Friday. This is the hour three of the new
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: three hour Mark Simone show down nine to noon, Monday
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: through Friday. For those who are, haven't listened in a
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: month or two and you don't realize, Hey, you're on
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: three hours a day. Mark Simone. Okay. I wish I
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: were Mark Simone, the great Mark Simone enjoying the day off,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: but this is Ken Rosato and very proud to be
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: sitting in the seat, keeping it warm for Mark till
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: he is back on Monday. And, uh, just so much
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: happening in the news right now. If, uh, you've basically
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: landed on earth in the last, uh, Day or so,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: we have, of course, two major stories happening at this hour. Apparently, well,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: actually three big stories. For those of you who were
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: in Manhattan trying to get to Brooklyn this morning, you
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: saw what happened. The Brooklyn Bridge was actually shut down
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: for like four or five hours. And that is because
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: there was an alleged emotionally disturbed man on the Brooklyn-bound
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn Bridge close to Manhattan. And this happened, I guess,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: about 3 or 3.30 in the morning. It initially happened
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: where someone called police saying there was an emotionally disturbed
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: person with a knife on the bridge. And this was
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: by South and Dover Streets in Manhattan. And apparently police
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: showed up at about 4 o'clock, 3.30, 4 o'clock. They
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: closed the bridge at about 4.15. It remained closed till
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: 8.30 this morning. Of course, you can imagine the traffic.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: But police said, went up to the man. And according
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to the allegations, the reports we have right now, the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: man confronted the police and then charged at them with
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: a knife and police shot him. And the man is deceased.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: So that is the latest. It was under investigation. Of course,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: whenever something like that happens, they have to take measurements, pictures,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: et cetera. So they had to shut down the Brooklyn
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Bridge this morning. And that, of course, wreaked havoc in
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: In spite of the fact that traffic is lighter than
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: usual or was at that hour because of the holiday weekend,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and it was so early, nonetheless, it still caused an
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: absolute mess of traffic near the Brooklyn Bridge. Police again
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: resolving that. We'll get more when the police release the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: details of their investigation. 800-321-0710. 800-321-0710. Of course, the other
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: big stories today. We're going to talk about the Clancy trial.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So Lindsey Clancy, this morning, the judge sent the jury
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: back to deliberate. It comes down to one person of
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the 12 on the jury panel who's holding out. But
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the judge does not feel that the person is in
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: any way not paying attention to the rules and the law.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And so the judge sent them all back to deliberate
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and says, listen, go at it. You're the you're the jury.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: apparently the defense attorney was upset that the judge would
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: not remove the one juror. But as we had attorney
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Imran Ansari on about half an hour ago, and he
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: talked about the fact that, look, there's 12 jurors, each
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: one of the 12 is co-equal. And whether it's one
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: or three or five that are holding it up, everybody
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: has the same co-equal power. And you need to have
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: a unanimous decision in order to convict or acquit And
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: in this case, you have one person holding out. But
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: whether you have one or seven, well, it doesn't matter.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Because with our jury system, you have to have unanimity.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: And we don't have that right now. So one person
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: is holding out. If the person is violating the rules
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and not paying attention to the judge's orders, that's different.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: But if they're following all the rules and they have
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: justification in why they're reaching their decision and what they're discussing...
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: then so be it. That's the way the system works.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: A lot of people believing that the jury will remain
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: deadlocked for the day and that there will probably be
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: a mistrial and everybody will have to start again. Well,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't be the same jury, but the defense and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the prosecution would have to start all over again. We'll
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: see what happens. But again, the prosecutor says, if in
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: fact it is a mistrial or a hung jury, not
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a mistrial, excuse me, clarification. Go back. Rewind the tape.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Not a mistrial. A hung jury. If it is a
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: hung jury, the prosecutor is saying that, in fact, they
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: would likely go back and do it all over again.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. 800-321-0710. 800-321-0710. We've had some
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: amazing callers, by the way, about it. Very clear. A
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: lot of people have done a lot of research who
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: know what they're talking about. And I'm very impressed by
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the callers we've had. Everybody with passion. Bottom line that
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: we have here at the end of the day, three
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: little ones, three little innocent children were murdered. And it
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: comes down to the mother deserves some kind of punishment.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Does she deserve life in prison without parole? Does she
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: deserve life in prison with the chance of parole? Does
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: she deserve up to 20 years, which would be manslaughter?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Does she deserve to be sentenced to a mental institution?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And it all depends. So we'll see what the jury says.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are citing in the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: vicinity of manslaughter from the legal and non-legal experts that
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I've talked to. A lot of people come down to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the feeling of that kind of satisfies their feeling for
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the death of those kids. And they were murdered. They
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: didn't just fall and hit their heads. Their mother murdered them.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And not to say that postpartum If it is, again,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: this isn't postpartum depression, it's postpartum psychosis we're talking about.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Not to say it is not a real thing. It
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: is a real thing. It is a real diagnosis. The
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: question is, did she actually have postpartum psychosis? And that's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: what the jury is trying to determine right now. 800-321-0710. Again,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: we were talking earlier also about Maria Bartiromo. Very nice lady.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: When she was at CNBC, they used to call her
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the money honey. Remember, she was the first person to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: broadcast live from the floor of the stock exchange. Back
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: when the floor of the stock exchange was the epicenter
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: of business for the whole world, basically. Today, a lot
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: of the stock trades, most of them, are done electronically.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: But back then, for those of you who are of
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a certain age like me, I'm almost 60. Back then,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: in order to trade stocks, you had people on the floors,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: mostly guys. You had guys on the floor holding cards
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: up in the air like, you know, $ 20, $ 20. And,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you know, it was like an auction. And that's what
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the trading floor was. It wasn't electronic like it is today.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: But she was there when there was the cacophony and
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the nuttiness of being on the floor to broadcast live
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: with the equipment. And there wasn't a lot of remote equipment,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: so everything had to be hardwired and big lights and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: And she did it back then when it was the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: stock exchange. So she made a name for herself and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a big name she did to broadcast with all that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: craziness around you and be able to keep a straight
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: face and speak with knowledge and experience and listen to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: questions of people asking you questions from back of the desk.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: She's amazing. That's where she proved herself. Maria Bartiromo, certainly the,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: if not the preeminent, certainly one of the preeminent business
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: reporters of our time. And Fox News terminated her yesterday.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And I could just say from the times I've met Maria,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: she's one of the nicest, most down-to-earth, most humble humans
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you will ever meet. She's a lovely person. I'm sick
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to my stomach that she's gone because I like Fox
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: News and I like Maria Bartiromo. And like many of you,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I'm sad to see this happen. From a company perspective,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: if what the allegations are are correct, and we'll get
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: into that a little bit in a moment, You can
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: understand why Fox News would do what they did. The
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: allegation being that she basically tipped off the White House
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: or shared with the White House information that is a
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: corporate propriety that was discussion and internal email in Fox
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: News regarding Smartmatic and Dominion voting machines and President Trump's
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: unfounded allegations that they were basically hacked or that there
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: was unfairness in the election regarding those machines. And if
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the president wants to say that, that's fine, but all
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the networks don't have to air that. They could choose
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to do so or not to do so or to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: air it with a disclaimer. And you can understand, the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: companies sued Fox News and Fox News ended up settling
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: three quarters of a billion dollars, more than that, They
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: ended up paying Dominion. And you can understand why they
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: were smarting from that. They didn't want any more of that.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: And so when they see the president having an opportunity
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: to speak to the country, going in the direction of
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: talking about alleging once again that the voting machines were
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: hacked or that there was some kind of impropriety with
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the voting through the Dominion voting system, which he had
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: no basis for, you can understand why the network is
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: now sensitive to that. And when they talk internally about
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, they want it kept internally. So that's
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the other perspective. It is a company perspective. You sign
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a contract with a broadcasting institution and they're paying you
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of money. They expect you to follow the rules. And,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not unusual for them to say any
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: information in-house, you keep in-house. You know, what happens in
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Vegas stays in Vegas, that kind of a deal. And
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: if it goes outside and we find out that it
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: was you, well, you could be subject to termination and
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: That's in your contract when you sign it. So you
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: can understand Fox's side of it. Again, overall, I'm just
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: sad to see it happen because I i think marie
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: is great and uh and i think fox news does
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a uh yeoman's job my friends who are who are
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: liberal Let's say that conservative right wing Fox News is
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: so slanted. And I say to them, what part of
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: it is slanted? Because if you look at the news
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: people on Fox News, they're not there is down the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: middle as anybody else. They're a separate division. There's Fox
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Entertainment like the morning show. and the night shows are
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: not news. They're entertainment. That doesn't mean what they talk
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: about isn't true, but they can give opinion because they're
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: not under the guise and the auspices of Fox News.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: They are a separate division within Fox. So that's why
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the morning show could say, you know, we're hoping that
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: President Trump continues to win this and that. They could
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: say that, and still they're not news anchors, but the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: news anchors keep it generic keep it right down the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: middle when they are delivering the news okay that's not
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: true well i defy you i could i could i've
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: had this debate with people and i've taken excerpts from
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the news and said look here are the 10 stories
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: they did and the 10 stories cnn didn't look fox
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: actually sounded more liberal than cnn in that case uh
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: when doing the news doing the news is different from
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: doing the opinion and the morning show and like sean
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: hannity and and laura ingram they are giving opinion. And
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: that's what they're hired for. It's not that there's something
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: wrong with that. That's exactly what their job is. So
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: it's okay. But, you know, they are conservative, but they
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: admit they're, they acknowledge they're being conservative. Unfortunately, you have
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: many of the so-called mainstream media outlets who for years
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: have tried to pretend that they were mainstream and centrist
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: when they were not. having been in the newsrooms of
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: a number of different companies, and there isn't one who's
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: an exception, I know the people who I was surrounded
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: with and what their political leanings were. And it came
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: across on the air based on what they wanted covered
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: or not covered. I always say it's a sin of omission,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: not a sin of commission. When you see certain news
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: outlets just totally ignoring something that might be pro-Trump or anti-liberal,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And they just refuse to cover the story like mainstream media. Never, ever,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: ever covering the fact. You just don't have them covering
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: when illegal migrants are responsible for the injury or death
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: of individuals. They'll cover it as just an injury or
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: a death, but fail to mention that the person was
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: illegal because they believe it has no bearing. Yeah, it
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: does have a bearing because if they weren't here to
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: begin with, which they shouldn't have been, then it would
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: have never happened. As a taxpaying citizen, I have a
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: right to be protected by my elected officials and by
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the police. But if you refuse to let the police
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: work with ICE and protect me from somebody who shouldn't
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: be here because by definition they're an invader, well then
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: you're at fault. If something happens to me, I'm going
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to blame you. But these elected officials are protected by
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: the law from that and they hide behind it pretending
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: to be compassionate like Kathy Hochul in making New York
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: State a compassionate blue state that is a sanctuary state
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: welcoming to all. Yeah, except for Kathy, people who shouldn't
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: be here legally. And we're not saying that you should
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: have police pick up the phone and turn them in.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: But when ICE agents come and say, listen, that person
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: who's in court right now being tried on a state charge,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: when you are done with them, we want to take
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: them and deport them. But your people instead are ordered
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: not to notify ICE or not to retain these individuals
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: who are criminals. That's on you, Kathy Hochul. And anybody
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: who gets hurt or dies as a result should be
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: on you. And I hope you don't sleep well at
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: night for those individuals who might be injured or worse
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: at the result of your negligence. Because the fact is
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: a majority of the states in this country do work
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: with ICE. They work just fine with ICE. As a result,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: those states have lower murder rates. Isn't that amazing? Those
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: states have lower murder rates. felony rates. Those states have
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: lower rape rates. Do you think it's just a coincidence,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul? No. Maybe it has something to do with
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the criminality of people who, by virtue of coming here
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: without permission, coming across the border without permission, by virtue
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: of that, maybe they are willing to commit other crimes
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: because they don't have respect for the most basic rules
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: that we have, such as coming in legally. 800-321- 0710-800-321-0710.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: We want to know what you have to say about that.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: We're going to take your calls coming up next. Ken
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Rosato in on the Friday of Memorial Day. No, it's not.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: It's Labor Day weekend. I knew I was going to
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: slip once today. Friday of Labor Day weekend, 710WOR.
