  Speaker 1: Now the Mark Simone Show on seven tenor filling in
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: for Mark, here's Ken Rosato. Well, finally, the end of
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the week is here. Mark is off on a long
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: holiday weekend. Former New York City TV news anchor Ken
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Rosanna reporting for duty. Are y'all set for a Memorial Day?
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: And by the way, quick lesson on Memorial Day. It
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: was nice to hear folks talking about it with Larry
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Menty now a few minutes ago. Memorial Day has the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: word memory in it, Okay, So it is not Veterans Day,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: although we could still say thank you to a veteran.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Of course, you could say thank you to a veteran
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: every day. But Memorial Day is the time that we
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: remember the people who died fighting to protect our country.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: So I'm glad we had callers a few minutes ago
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: saying you shouldn't say happy Memorial Day. Yeah. For young
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: people who want to enjoy the beach or whatever, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the fact that you might be getting together with family,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: that's good, that's happy. But it's not a day that's
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: about happy. It's a day that it's about memorializing. We're
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: supposed to remember those give a moment, just a moment,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: of your day to think about those people who made
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the ultimate sacrifice and how significant that is, how many
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of us would be willing to step up and say,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you know what, take my life so that those one
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand people over there can live. That's a tough one, right,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: but people did that by the hundreds of thousands through
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: our history. So all we ask, right as Americans, fellow Americans,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: no matter what your politics, no matter what your religion,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: no matter what your heritage, originally you're an American, just
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: take a moment this Monday and over the weekend and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: technically every day we should, but this one day specifically,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and just remember the good folks who sacrificed ultimately their lives,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: the families left behind who lost their loved when their father,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: their brother, their sister, their mother, so that our America
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: could be free. And again, like I said, always think
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: of that the living vet is the person who survives
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: in place of that person who passed, whom we remember
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Memorial Day four. But I just think that it's so
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: important that we take that time, and that's why I'm
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: glad we have at least one day. We should have
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: many more, but that one day to remember those good folks,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: who made the ultimate sacrifice for us. We got so
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: much to talk about today. To wrap up the busy
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: news week. The phone lines are open. We would love
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: for you to give us a call and take part
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: in the conversation. The numbers eight hundred three two one
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten, eight hundred three to two one zero
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: seven ten. Again it's Ken Rosatto and from Mark Simone today.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: By the way, the great Jim Kerr yesterday, Good lord?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Is that man. I always used to say when I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: grow up, I want to sound like Jim Kerr or
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: like the great Mark Simone, two of the greatest voices
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in the business. And to hear that booming voice come
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: through the very microphone I'm sitting in front of right now,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like saying I'm not worthy. I'm not worthy.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And one of the people that Jim Kerr said especially
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: hello to is the man sitting opposite me right now.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Is he who handles the board and the technicals on
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the show. We just want to say yes, special, thank you,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and good morning to is he. It's good to be
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: with you today, is and good to be with you, folks.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: The best audience for any talk show in America right
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: here at seven ten wr Well, I don't know if
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you heard this morning the news. US Secretary of State
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Marco Rubio says there's been a little bit of progress
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: in talks with Iran to end the war, adding that
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: he did not wish to exaggerate how much progress. But
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: apparently this is the few days where it's going to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: be do or die, so to say, for Iran. I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: know we've heard that before, but apparently there's a lot
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of internal data that says that, yeah, this really is
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: it right now. So Iran either has to get it
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: together or there's going to be some action in the
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: next few days. So we'll keep our eyes on that,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and of course we'll keep your breast and see what
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: happens with that. Other news. Check this out. This is
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: from the scratch your head and say what on earth?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: A Maryland teenager is facing child neglect charges for allegedly
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: leaving her six month old baby home alone so she
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: could go out and party with her friends at McDonald's. Okay,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: now it gets worse. The report says, nineteen year old
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Kira Faust is a daycare worker. Uh huh, so she
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: watches your kids by day. She left her own six
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: month old baby home alone so she could go out
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and hang out with her friends at McDonald's. So it's
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: not that she doesn't know how to take care of kids,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: apparently because she takes care of other people's kids for money,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I guess, but when it comes to taking care of
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: her own child, that doesn't matter. Yeah, yes, she will
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: be charged. There was this think old Daria Albinger, the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: wonderful By the way, I have been admiring the wonderful
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Daria Albinger's fantastic news voice from Afar for years and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: even though our pat's kind across we never got to
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: meet each other face to face. Today we finally did.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: So it's great to hear on the grade seven to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: ten WR doing the news here. She is fantastic. But
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: she just talked about this sinkhole that is on the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: runway at LaGuardia Airport. Now, LaGuardia has a tough airport
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to deal with because it's so small. There's no place
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to stack up planes, so planes come in land, pick
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: up more passengers leave. You can't park anywhere, so when
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: there is a hole a pothole, it's not a pothole,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: it's a sinkhole on the runway, there's nowhere to keep planes.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: So when you only have one runway to work with
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and you can't just, oh, so land on the other runway,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: well they can't just do that. If the winds are
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: coming from a different direction, you have to use a
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: different airport. So that is a problem. And now the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: word is it might be tomorrow at the earliest before
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: they'll get that sinkhole repaired. So if you were going
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: to fly out of LaGuardia or pick somebody up at LaGuardia,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a double check with the carrier to make sure that
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the plane is still on time. There was an out
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of control caught on camera brawl that broke out between
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: families over seating at a Catholic school's kindergarten graduation in
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Ohio yesterday. Now, I used to be a priest, so
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I want to put that out there so people don't
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: think I've tried to soften this or whatever. But so
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: what had happened was this was a kindergarten graduation, which,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: by the way, when did we start having kidd I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: know it sounds cute, the parents say, come on, we
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: have like, oh, second grade graduation. It kind of takes
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: away from what you know, eighth grade or high school
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: or college, but whatever you want, the parents to get
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: together and take the pictures, I get it. So a
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: bunch of parents got together for this graduation of a
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: kindergarten and a Catholic school. Underlying that, and apparently this
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: one parent decided to take her extended family to this graduation.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: And when they showed up at the Queen of Apostles
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: School in Toledo, Ohio, yesterday morning, they brought literally twenty
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: members of the family and they took up all the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: front row seats. So, of course, everybody wants a picture
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of their kid, their little kid. That's why they're having this.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to come in with maybe two three people,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: not like thirty people for your kindergartener's graduation. Well, twenty
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: eight year old Jessica Anderson allegedly started cursing out parents
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: who tried to take back some of those front seats
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: that she was accused of hogging up. Oh that's another thing.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: She put bags and whatnot on the seats to prevent
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: people from taking them until like Uncle Gino and Aunt
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Francis could show up from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, who were driving
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: four hours for a kindergarten graduation. For God's sake, sorry
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to scream. Didn't mean to scare you, but it is
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: mind boggling. So what ends up happening a brawl? This
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: is a Catholic school, this is a kindergarten graduation, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: these parents acted like animals and literally started slugging each other.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: And yeah, there were a bunch of arrest made. Just unbelievable. Folks,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: grow up. Not a great example for your kindergarteners to see.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Seven ten wr the Voice of New York. We'd love
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to hear what you have to say. Comment on any
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: of this, Tell me about your Memorial Day plans, and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: more importantly, tell me about your plans to remember those
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: who fought and died for a country. Eight hundred three
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten. Eight hundred three two one
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten. How many of you have friends who
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: say that you know President Trump his time is up,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: that he no longer has the influence he once had.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: M sure we know those people, right, Maybe it's time
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you get new friends. I'm kidding. But in a single night,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: think about the significance of this president. Trump accomplished something
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: in one night that no other president in the forty
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: seven presidents we've had other than him, He's number forty seven.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: No other president in history has accomplished. He literally went
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: thirty seven for thirty seven. In terms of winning endorsements,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Trump endorsed thirty seven individuals in Republican primaries nationwide, in
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: some cases against very popular incumbent Republican Rhinos who had
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a track record of winning term after term. And in
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: every single case, the individual whom President Trump endorsed beat
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: their primary competitors. Now, that has never been done in history,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: certainly not to that extent. In fact, CNN data analyst
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Harry Enton broke it down to the horror of the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: commies standing around him on set at.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: CNN when in fact, you go against President Trump, you
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: go on the grinder and you could just see this
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: times Trump endorsees.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Have won in GOP primaries.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: It's about ninety five percent each of the last four cycles. Now,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I will know, you know, sometimes he endorsed this and
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: there's no real challenger. But even in those cases, the
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: challengers to the combent have won a majority of the
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: time as well. And one of the key reasons why
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: that is right is you look at Trump's approval rating
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: within the Gopach twenty first century own party approval At
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: this point in term two, he's eighty three percent. That's
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: more popular than Obama was with Democrats, way more popular
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: than George W. Bush was with Republicans back in two
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: thousand and six. So the power of a Trump endorsement
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: is still sky high.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: So when people say, oh, Obama was the most popular president,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: he had the most support, No, No, I mean he was. Look,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: whether you like Obama or hate, I mean he was
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: great in a number of ways. He was a fabulous orator,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: very persuasive. He brought a lot of independence over to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: his side who never thought that they would vote to
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the left. So he was a very powerful man. Yet
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: President Trump has more power right now, especially among Republicans,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: not quote unquote magat Street, Missy, Republicans, the party overall,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: it's about eighty seven percent support. That is higher than
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Obama had among Democrats, higher than George H. I'm sorry,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: George W. Bush had among Republicans in his time, I believe,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: even higher than Reagan had at this point. It's significant.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: The only way Trump could pull off thirty seven out
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of thirty seven successful endorsements is with popularity and influence. Now,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: one guy, think about that single handedly dismantled a political
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: machine built one hundred and sixty five years ago and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: rebuilt it from scratch. It is now the Party of
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Trump and the old trimudgeonly machined Rhino Republicans are so
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: angry and so bitter as they watched the party in
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: which they subsisted for years blown to bits. You see,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the Rhino Republicans, they were happy being the crappy number
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: two party behind the Democrats because they just wanted to
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: live and let live. They were okay being the second
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: best party as long as they got invited to all
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the fancy schmancy Washington dinners and they kept their fat
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: jobs and got their palms greased by powerful DC lobbyists
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: in exchange for votes. And yes, it happens. They just
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: wanted to be left alone to live their fat and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: sassy life, keep their seat election after election, having a
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: career until they died. Like Mitch McConnell, for example. I mean,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the man doesn't even know what day it is. And
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: for all the people who were complaining that President Biden
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: needed to leave office because he didn't know where he was,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I say those same people need to be saying the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: same thing about Mitch McConnell, who, if you've seen him lately,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: he has no idea that he is breathing air yet.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I think he's waiting for somebody to tell him he's
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: moved on. And I don't just mean in office. I
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: wish the best for him, Don't get me wrong. I
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: don't wish any ill will. God bless him. He's served
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of years, but it's time to go on. Now.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: This is his last year, but I don't see him
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: still serving this term. How he's effective at this point
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: as a senator. Now, the days of the old Rhino Republicans,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: those days are over. Probably the Canaries and the coal
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Mine were the incumbent Rhino Thomas Massey and Kentucky who
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: lost in the fourth Congressional district to a relatively unknown
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: ed Gull Ryan, a former Navy seal who had no
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: name recognition before President Trump said I endorse him. And
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: when President Trump endorsed Gaul Ryan, every know it all
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: political analyst said, he's nuts. Why is he doing that?
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Gall Ryan doesn't stand a chance. Nobody knew who he was.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: In fact, in early polls, people said Massey ninety nine
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: point two percent said that they would support Massey in
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the primary, ninety nine point two. And guess who won
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the primary, gall Ryan by ten points, the guy endorsed
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: by President Trump. Unheard of. That's not a political powerhouse.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: That's a political gargantuan that has probably never existed in
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: our history of this country before. Eight hundred three to
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten, eight hundred three two one
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten. We want to hear from you, so
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: give us call, let you know what you let us
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: know what you think. And then there is George's anti Trump,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger, who was the darling
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: of the left. He was the guy who defended the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: election mess in Fulton County, Georgia, and he promised voters
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: that he would continue his anti Trump's stance if elected governor.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: He's running for governor now, well, guess what Trump endorsed
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: his opposition, A different Republican and incumbent Georgia secretary of
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: state currently running for governor, received just fourteen percent of
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the primary vote, So Raffensberger, who thought he was a
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: showing to be governor, lost. He came in third in
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the primaries because Trump endorsed somebody else, once again showing
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the power of Trump unbelievable. So again, we want to
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: know what you have to say about this, what's your opinion,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: what you're feeling. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: We're going to take calls in just a few minutes.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten seven ten
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: WR
