0:10
Speaker 2: Memorial Day weekend, that very special long weekend. Mark enjoying
0:15
Speaker 2: his weekend off, and it is good to be sitting here.
0:18
Speaker 2: Former New York City TV news anchor Ken Rosatto in
0:20
Speaker 2: for duty today. I was twenty years at Channel seven.
0:23
Speaker 2: I was at Channel five doing Good Day New York
0:26
Speaker 2: before that, so it's good to be here now. On
0:28
Speaker 2: the radio. I actually did radio many years before I
0:31
Speaker 2: got to TV, and then I kind of missed it
0:34
Speaker 2: when I was on TV and they didn't allow us
0:37
Speaker 2: to do radio as well. At the time, I was
0:39
Speaker 2: very sad because radio was my first love. And it's
0:42
Speaker 2: like I'm back with my high school sweetheart, if you will,
0:45
Speaker 2: being back on radio. But it's great to be here.
0:47
Speaker 2: I now do. I do a show on a New
0:50
Speaker 2: Jersey channel, a streaming channel called on New JERSEYNNJ dot com.
0:54
Speaker 2: I'm on weekdays there and it's great. So it's a
0:58
Speaker 2: New Jersey state wide channel now expanded to a bunch
1:01
Speaker 2: of other channels around the country. So we're on to
1:03
Speaker 2: about one hundred million people a day having a good
1:05
Speaker 2: time with that. You could check us out every day
1:07
Speaker 2: there at ONNJ dot com when you have finished listening
1:10
Speaker 2: to seven to ten wor which you should never finish
1:13
Speaker 2: listening to. I listened to around the clock. Anyway, It's
1:16
Speaker 2: great to be here again. Mark off of the weekend.
1:18
Speaker 2: Can Rosato win? And for those who have not heard
1:21
Speaker 2: about this, I just had to share. Did you know
1:24
Speaker 2: that Governor Kathy Hochel Governor Kathy Hokel has decided to
1:28
Speaker 2: codify something in New York State, something that unofficially has
1:33
Speaker 2: existed for years, But New York is now officially and
1:37
Speaker 2: publicly and on paper a sanctuary state. Right And did
1:43
Speaker 2: you just have your stomach acid just squash up in
1:45
Speaker 2: your mouth? I asked you, O, fellow taxpayer New Yorker,
1:49
Speaker 2: when I say, even though I live in New Jersey,
1:51
Speaker 2: I'm a taxpayer New Yorker because when I come here
1:53
Speaker 2: to work and earn money, I pay New York City
1:55
Speaker 2: and New York State taxes as well. Just so you
1:57
Speaker 2: know what benefit to you and the State of New
2:00
Speaker 2: York is there by officially mandating that New York be
2:04
Speaker 2: a sanctuary state. What we've seen so far, and this is,
2:08
Speaker 2: by the way, not look. You could say, ken, we
2:10
Speaker 2: were all migrants. We've all immigrated at some point our
2:13
Speaker 2: families in the United States, ETCA. Don't be so mean, right.
2:17
Speaker 2: My family had to wait seventeen years to get in
2:19
Speaker 2: legally to the United States. I don't about yours, but
2:21
Speaker 2: we went through the channels. They were channels put forth
2:24
Speaker 2: and you know that after I guess it was the
2:27
Speaker 2: late nineteen thirties, the United States actually imposed the rule
2:30
Speaker 2: that there would only be fifty thousand people immigrating in
2:35
Speaker 2: as legal citizens per year, and that existed until the
2:38
Speaker 2: early nineteen sixties. Fifty thousand and the United States had
2:43
Speaker 2: over one hundred million citizens. So that basically immigration was
2:47
Speaker 2: shut down for forty years thirty forty years in the
2:51
Speaker 2: United States. And the purpose of that was not to
2:53
Speaker 2: be xenophobic. It was so that the people who had
2:56
Speaker 2: come here in mass from the late eighteen hundreds, including
2:59
Speaker 2: Southern Europeans Italians like many of my relatives, so that
3:02
Speaker 2: when they came over they could assimilate, learn the language,
3:06
Speaker 2: be educated, become part of the fabric of the society
3:09
Speaker 2: that is the United States. The purpose of coming here
3:12
Speaker 2: is not so that you could bring you know, Lithuania, Italy,
3:15
Speaker 2: Spain and make this Spain Italy Lithuania. The purpose of
3:19
Speaker 2: leaving your country and coming here is to become knitted
3:22
Speaker 2: into the fabric that is the United States, learning the
3:25
Speaker 2: culture of the customs, and being a proud American. Not
3:28
Speaker 2: to come here, make a few bucks, go back to
3:29
Speaker 2: your country. This is not a place to do that.
3:32
Speaker 2: That is not what the purpose is. So that's why
3:35
Speaker 2: I think so many people get so insulted and angered
3:38
Speaker 2: to the core when you have the Biden administration doing
3:40
Speaker 2: what it did, opening the borders wide and basically saying
3:43
Speaker 2: if you come in, well, look the other way. Just
3:45
Speaker 2: become part of society here. You know, if you want
3:47
Speaker 2: to work, you want to work, off the books, whatever,
3:49
Speaker 2: and take the money, go back to your country. Disgusting, disgusting.
3:53
Speaker 2: It violates every rule. It basically sticks up the middle
3:55
Speaker 2: finger and all the laws we have passed. If you don't
3:58
Speaker 2: like the laws, change the laws. But you don't, you
4:01
Speaker 2: don't just basically ignore the laws and do so in
4:05
Speaker 2: the process insulting every tax paying US citizen. And look
4:09
Speaker 2: at what's happened in the process. It's just ignorant on
4:13
Speaker 2: the part of the former Biden administration. Many countries that
4:17
Speaker 2: are nefarious, with nefarious plans did what Cuba did in
4:21
Speaker 2: the early nineteen sixties to the United States, and that
4:24
Speaker 2: has opened up their prisons and said here, go up,
4:27
Speaker 2: you want to go, We'll let you go free. We'll
4:28
Speaker 2: even give you money. Go to the United States and
4:30
Speaker 2: live there. Because it costs a lot of money to
4:33
Speaker 2: house an inmate, especially some of the worst inmates, you
4:37
Speaker 2: have to put them in special blocks, in many cases
4:39
Speaker 2: in isolation. So you had countries like we know for
4:42
Speaker 2: a fact now Venezuela opened its prisons and let thousands
4:46
Speaker 2: and thousands of prisoners come to the United States. And
4:48
Speaker 2: now we have bangangs like trend de Aragua terrorizing cities
4:53
Speaker 2: all over the country. And we didn't have to have
4:55
Speaker 2: that if the Biden administration had just allowed the process
4:59
Speaker 2: to take place. And if I hear one more person say,
5:03
Speaker 2: but our immigration system is broken, mister Risado, what's broken
5:07
Speaker 2: about it? We have seventy laws on federal books right
5:11
Speaker 2: now detailing how to become a citizen of the United States.
5:15
Speaker 2: We leave, we let two to three million people migrate
5:20
Speaker 2: legally into the United States every year. Do you know
5:23
Speaker 2: that that is more than every other country on Earth
5:27
Speaker 2: combined allows into their countries. Where does it say in
5:31
Speaker 2: our constitution that our job is to open the doors
5:34
Speaker 2: to the rest of the seven billion people on the planet.
5:37
Speaker 2: We could not survive as a country if we continue
5:40
Speaker 2: to do that. As the left loves to say, it's unsustainable.
5:45
Speaker 2: It's one of the code words. It makes my stomach twinge. Unsustainable,
5:48
Speaker 2: mister Rosato, it's unsustainable. You got to say it with
5:51
Speaker 2: a lisp. It's unsustainable. Well, it's unsustainable to have open borders.
5:57
Speaker 2: Because here, let's go down the list the show that
6:00
Speaker 2: I do in New Jersey, we have a wonderful meteorologist,
6:04
Speaker 2: as they have a wonderful mediorologists here, and he's a
6:06
Speaker 2: very dear friend of mine. I'm not going to say
6:08
Speaker 2: his name, but if you watch the show, you don't
6:09
Speaker 2: know who he is. And he points out every day
6:11
Speaker 2: he stays out of politics totally, but he points out
6:14
Speaker 2: that we are constantly in a water demand for water,
6:17
Speaker 2: that we're constantly short of water in New Jersey, and
6:20
Speaker 2: right now, with all the heavy rain we've had for months,
6:23
Speaker 2: including over the reservoirs, we're still below the needed amount
6:27
Speaker 2: of water. Well, another friend of mine, who is an
6:30
Speaker 2: environmental scientist who used to be very far to the
6:32
Speaker 2: left and has now come to the center, pointed something
6:35
Speaker 2: out to me the other day that I never thought of.
6:37
Speaker 2: And I will now point that out to you, and
6:38
Speaker 2: you will scratch your head and say, well, that makes sense.
6:42
Speaker 2: If you look at the top six states in the
6:45
Speaker 2: country where the left rule, and you have sanctuary state status,
6:51
Speaker 2: all those top six states suffer from water shortages right now.
6:57
Speaker 2: But if you look at how much water has rained,
6:59
Speaker 2: they I had the same amount of rain now that
7:01
Speaker 2: they had thirty years ago at this time. So what's
7:04
Speaker 2: changed the population? Not the legal population. Ah, you see
7:09
Speaker 2: where I'm going, the illegal population. The state of New
7:12
Speaker 2: Jersey has nine million legal residents and about one million
7:17
Speaker 2: illegal residents. Okay, when they set up the infrastructure of
7:21
Speaker 2: the fine garden state, and it is a great state.
7:23
Speaker 2: I love New Jersey. I was born and raised in
7:26
Speaker 2: Lower New York. I was raised in Westchester County, so
7:29
Speaker 2: I love New York. I went to high school and
7:30
Speaker 2: college here in Manhattan. I went to Regis High School, NYU.
7:34
Speaker 2: Very proud of New York. But I got a taste
7:36
Speaker 2: of New Jersey in two thousand and three, two thousand
7:39
Speaker 2: and four and never went back. I've been a New
7:41
Speaker 2: Jersey resident ever since. I love New Jersey and I
7:43
Speaker 2: live part time in Florida, but I just love New
7:47
Speaker 2: Jersey for so many reasons. But when you take nine million,
7:51
Speaker 2: and you add a million in a short time, over
7:54
Speaker 2: a few year period, you add a million illegal migrants,
7:57
Speaker 2: you don't fix the infrastructure. Here's what you get now.
8:01
Speaker 2: We are short water buildings that were meant to accommodate,
8:07
Speaker 2: that had apartments that should accommodate two people. You suddenly
8:10
Speaker 2: have twelve people jamming into apartments like that. It happens
8:13
Speaker 2: all over Newark. I have friends who work for the
8:15
Speaker 2: building's department in Newark who've told me time and time
8:17
Speaker 2: again they show up because pipes are bursting in buildings.
8:20
Speaker 2: Why think about this. You flush a toilet in an
8:23
Speaker 2: apartment that's meant to take two flushes an hour. I
8:27
Speaker 2: mean literally, engineers for buildings will tell you this. They calculate, Okay,
8:32
Speaker 2: if each apartment in the building flushes twice an hour,
8:35
Speaker 2: the buildings pipes can accommodate this many flushes. That's actually
8:38
Speaker 2: calculated by people who design plumbing in the code departments
8:41
Speaker 2: and whatnot. All of a sudden, if you sex stupple
8:45
Speaker 2: the amount of residents in each apartment, there is no
8:48
Speaker 2: way the pipes and those buildings can maintain all the
8:51
Speaker 2: flushes and all the draw on the water. So you
8:54
Speaker 2: have people turning on water and all of a sudden
8:55
Speaker 2: they hear the pipes are like that because they're literally straining.
8:59
Speaker 2: There's not enough water to get through. That's what happens
9:01
Speaker 2: when you put four, five, six times the population into
9:04
Speaker 2: a building that it was supposed to have, and it's
9:07
Speaker 2: not fair to the tenants who have been living there
9:09
Speaker 2: and paying rent, et cetera. All of a sudden they
9:11
Speaker 2: have eight, ten, twelve people as their neighbors when that
9:14
Speaker 2: wasn't supposed to be the case. That's too much of
9:17
Speaker 2: a draw on the electricity, too much of a draw
9:19
Speaker 2: on the water, too much flushing of the toilets, et cetera.
9:22
Speaker 2: And the infrastructure suffers. The streets are more congested, the
9:26
Speaker 2: schools are inundated. Remember in the eighties, what we heard
9:29
Speaker 2: from our leftist friends was to have proper education, we
9:32
Speaker 2: need to have smaller class sizes. We need to have
9:34
Speaker 2: twelve kids in a classroom. By the way, I went
9:36
Speaker 2: to Regis High School. We had thirty five kids in
9:38
Speaker 2: a classroom. It's considered the best high school in America.
9:41
Speaker 2: And all our people had IVY League. So what I'm
9:46
Speaker 2: looking for when you get a free free ride to college,
9:49
Speaker 2: thank you. We all ended up, you know, in great
9:52
Speaker 2: colleges with the free rides, all right, and we had
9:55
Speaker 2: thirty thirty five kids to a class. So don't tell
9:57
Speaker 2: me that it's all about class size. But that's what
9:59
Speaker 2: the left tried to say us through the teachers unions
10:01
Speaker 2: in the eighties and nineties. All of a sudden, though,
10:03
Speaker 2: when illegal aliens come into and yes legally they're called
10:06
Speaker 2: illegal aliens in federal documentation. So I'm not trying to
10:08
Speaker 2: be offensive to anyone, So don't take offense and clutch
10:10
Speaker 2: your pearls. All of a sudden, when you have twenty
10:13
Speaker 2: more kids added to a class that were not anticipated
10:16
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the school year. You anticipated, oh,
10:18
Speaker 2: we'll have twenty five kids. First day of school, the
10:21
Speaker 2: teacher comes in, there are forty kids sitting there. That's
10:23
Speaker 2: because by law, you have to accommodate the kids who
10:26
Speaker 2: are there you don't, And in New Jersey you don't
10:28
Speaker 2: ask are you a citizen or not? Nope, you come,
10:31
Speaker 2: you're eight years old, You get a seat in the class.
10:34
Speaker 2: We'll also give you three squares a day, and on
10:36
Speaker 2: the weekends if the school is closed, we'll still get
10:38
Speaker 2: your food. All right, And I'm okay with that. I
10:41
Speaker 2: get that you're not going to let a kids starve.
10:42
Speaker 2: It's not a kid's problem that their parents did something
10:45
Speaker 2: that is contrary to the laws of the United States.
10:48
Speaker 2: So don't look at me and say, Resida, you're cruel.
10:50
Speaker 2: But the reality is, it's one thing to be empathetic.
10:53
Speaker 2: It's another thing to be foolish. And we are being
10:56
Speaker 2: foolish those on the left who have opened the door
11:00
Speaker 2: without consulting the rest of society. They've caused irreparable damage
11:05
Speaker 2: to the United States and it will take generations if
11:09
Speaker 2: we have the gumption to correct it. And a lot
11:13
Speaker 2: of people are already wishy washy on the whole fixing
11:16
Speaker 2: the immigrant issue. And by fixing, I mean if you're
11:19
Speaker 2: here illegally, we first invite you to leave on your own.
11:22
Speaker 2: If you don't want to leave on your own, then
11:23
Speaker 2: we got to remove you, all right, that's the way
11:26
Speaker 2: the law is. If you voluntarily download the app, take
11:30
Speaker 2: your family, go back to your country, we'll give you
11:32
Speaker 2: the airfare for free, and we'll give you one thousand
11:36
Speaker 2: dollars per person leaving you get back to your home country,
11:40
Speaker 2: wherever that is, and now you can legally apply to
11:42
Speaker 2: come in with the money we gave you. Why is
11:44
Speaker 2: that cruel and harsh? Why does that mean and not empathetic?
11:49
Speaker 2: There isn't a country on the planet that would do
11:51
Speaker 2: something so kind as to provide the airfare and money
11:56
Speaker 2: so that you can go hire an attorney and come
11:58
Speaker 2: back the legal way. I'm now the left is convinced everybody,
12:02
Speaker 2: especially in TV news, just evil Republicans. They're just heartless.
12:07
Speaker 2: This family has worked here, one has worked here as
12:10
Speaker 2: a as a bus driver for thirty years, loving his family,
12:15
Speaker 2: and now you want to kick him out, you evil people. No, no, no, no, no.
12:19
Speaker 2: See he shouldn't have been allowed to come in to
12:21
Speaker 2: begin with. Had you done your job and allowed or
12:23
Speaker 2: allowed our border agents to do their job as they
12:26
Speaker 2: took an oath to do, instead of tying their hands
12:29
Speaker 2: and telling them, no, don't do your job. Poor one
12:31
Speaker 2: wouldn't have come here with expectations that were not realistic.
12:35
Speaker 2: So now we're supposed to suffer because your party decided
12:38
Speaker 2: to do something contrary to our laws. No, we need
12:41
Speaker 2: to fix the problem that you caused. And one is welcome,
12:45
Speaker 2: and I'm just saying the name one. I have family.
12:47
Speaker 2: My family's part Puerto Rican and part Argentinian. So and
12:50
Speaker 2: again say listen to he's a racist, he's antiaspatic. Your
12:55
Speaker 2: brother blaet okay, baby speak Spanish fluently, don't get on
13:01
Speaker 2: my case. And I lived in Miami full time for
13:05
Speaker 2: five years and everybody, all my friends, yes, some of
13:09
Speaker 2: my best friends are Latino. I'm married to Puerto Rican
13:13
Speaker 2: and I happen to have family through Argentina. So calm
13:17
Speaker 2: your horses. The point is you are welcome in our country,
13:22
Speaker 2: but you got to come here the right way. And
13:24
Speaker 2: anyone who comes here the right way you are welcome
13:27
Speaker 2: to enjoy all the benefits of America. But if you
13:29
Speaker 2: don't come here the right way, I don't hate you.
13:31
Speaker 2: I just invite you to leave, take the money we're
13:34
Speaker 2: offering you, and then come back the legal way, and
13:36
Speaker 2: I will welcome you as my brother, as a fellow American.
13:40
Speaker 2: Is that so hard? Is that so cruel? We'd love
13:43
Speaker 2: to hear what you have to say about it. Eight

14:30
Speaker 2: A very good Friday morning to You're good to be
14:32
Speaker 2: with you. Mark has the weekend off. Let's go to
14:34
Speaker 2: our busy phones, our good friend Vincent in Brooklyn. Good morning, Vincent.
14:38
Speaker 3: Goo, Good morning, Ken. Great to hear your voice speaking
14:42
Speaker 3: of people having all these illegals in their apartment and
14:48
Speaker 3: you was talking about the sewer and the water lines,
14:51
Speaker 3: while two years ago, in one of in my building,
14:55
Speaker 3: I had to have the main sewer line replaced because
14:59
Speaker 3: it was all and it had wear and tear on it,
15:03
Speaker 3: and it was pretty pretty expensive, you know. So these houses,
15:10
Speaker 3: most of them were only made to as you pointed out,
15:13
Speaker 3: were made for so many people occupying the apartments and everything.
15:18
Speaker 3: In the fifties, my dad owned a large apartment building
15:23
Speaker 3: and a lot of his tenants they were mainly Italian
15:27
Speaker 3: and Hispanic. I remembered my mom telling my dad that
15:32
Speaker 3: so and so a family member was covered from such
15:36
Speaker 3: a place and they were gonna because back in those
15:40
Speaker 3: days you had to have a sponsor. You had to
15:42
Speaker 3: show you weren't going to be a burden into the system.
15:45
Speaker 3: You couldn't be on welfare and everything. And my father
15:51
Speaker 3: would then go to the tenant and say, well, look,
15:53
Speaker 3: you're going to use such and such more services, water, this,
15:58
Speaker 3: that and the other. And my father would just increased
16:01
Speaker 3: their rent by a little to cover his course for
16:05
Speaker 3: the added use of the mandate of the water and water.
16:09
Speaker 2: Right, But Vincent, do you remember there was a certain
16:13
Speaker 2: Democrat president in the early nineteen sixties who said, ask
16:17
Speaker 2: not what your country can do for you, ask what
16:19
Speaker 2: you can do for your country. And I remember the
16:22
Speaker 2: late great rush limboss saying that we don't have an
16:26
Speaker 2: obligation to open the door to be the supermarket to
16:31
Speaker 2: the world, the place for everyone to come and make
16:33
Speaker 2: a few bucks and go home. This is a country
16:36
Speaker 2: and we don't have to accept everybody who wants to
16:39
Speaker 2: come here. We could be very picky and say what
16:41
Speaker 2: do you have to contribute here for us to let
16:43
Speaker 2: you in. We should be discriminatory. And I mean by discriminatory,
16:47
Speaker 2: I mean what can you benefit. I don't care what
16:50
Speaker 2: country you're from. I don't care what color you are,
16:52
Speaker 2: what religion you are, That has no bearing. What can
16:55
Speaker 2: you offer the United States of America?
16:57
Speaker 3: Exactly?
16:58
Speaker 1: You one?
17:00
Speaker 3: And I actually have a friend who a couple of
17:03
Speaker 3: years ago passed away, but his dad came over in
17:07
Speaker 3: one of the early waves of immigration, I think, like
17:11
Speaker 3: in nineteen hundred like that, and he was rejected three times.
17:16
Speaker 3: They sent him back because whatever he didn't meet the criteria.
17:21
Speaker 3: And fourth time there happened to be at Ellis Island.
17:25
Speaker 3: There happened to be somebody from who was from the
17:29
Speaker 3: same town as he was, and they had a mutual friend.
17:33
Speaker 3: And this person stepped up and said, my family will
17:37
Speaker 3: sponsor him and me my family that's already here, and
17:42
Speaker 3: that's how we got to stay because they were going
17:44
Speaker 3: to send this guy back for the fourth time. Speaking
17:49
Speaker 3: of squatters and people living in the apartments illegally, about
17:52
Speaker 3: thirty years ago, one of my apartments, I noticed there
17:56
Speaker 3: was another name on the mailbox that I didn't rent
17:59
Speaker 3: it his person. So I went to the ten and
18:02
Speaker 3: I said, who's living here that's not on the lease
18:05
Speaker 3: and she says, oh, well, this is my cousin from France.
18:09
Speaker 3: I says, well, I'll tell you what. You have until
18:12
Speaker 3: the end of the month to either get him an
18:15
Speaker 3: apartment because he's not going to live here, or you
18:18
Speaker 3: get an apartment because you're not gonna live here. And
18:21
Speaker 3: you want to know what. All of them left the
18:23
Speaker 3: apartment because I wasn't playing around. I told them you
18:27
Speaker 3: get him out or you get out.
18:29
Speaker 2: Somehow, I think I think if Vincent looks at me
18:31
Speaker 2: and says you get out, I'll get out. I don't know, Vincent,
18:34
Speaker 2: I just I would listen to you. But you're a
18:36
Speaker 2: great man. Vincent I hope you're doing something memorable for
18:38
Speaker 2: Memorial Day to remember those who fought and died for
18:41
Speaker 2: our country. I'm sure you are, because you are a
18:43
Speaker 2: great American. But as always I love when you call
18:46
Speaker 2: God bless you. Have a great weekend, my friend, and
18:48
Speaker 2: I'll be on Monday, so I'll get that. Please call
18:50
Speaker 2: back again. We'll talk to you out, Nay, thank you, Vincent.
18:52
Speaker 2: Vincent's so fun. I love Vincent. Peter Jackson, New Jersey,
18:56
Speaker 2: Happy Friday. Good morning to you, Ken.
19:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, Vincent's absolutely right. I am a citizen by choice.
19:05
Speaker 4: My mother brought us over here, and the first thing
19:09
Speaker 4: was she had to do two and three jobs right
19:12
Speaker 4: from the beginning. We were sponsored to get in here.
19:15
Speaker 4: She waited three years. We did it the right way.
19:18
Speaker 5: At the age of.
19:18
Speaker 4: Eighteen, I went myself and I applied for American citizenship.
19:23
Speaker 4: Where you're from, you know, everything was English has spoken
19:27
Speaker 4: in this house now, not that she wanted us to
19:30
Speaker 4: lose our heritage, and therefore I always went to school
19:35
Speaker 4: on Saturdays also to keep that up. But America is
19:39
Speaker 4: now my country, and so it is for my kids.
19:42
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny you say that because my father's
19:43
Speaker 2: side his mother and father had broken English they spoke
19:47
Speaker 2: when they came over. But my father came from a
19:49
Speaker 2: family of nine boys. They were in Yonkers. Do you
19:52
Speaker 2: know that not one of my uncles nor my father,
19:55
Speaker 2: none of them had an accent. They all spoke fluent English.
20:00
Speaker 2: So of them went to college, they all served in
20:01
Speaker 2: the military. That was America. And you're right, you were
20:05
Speaker 2: not allowed to speak anything but English in the home.
20:07
Speaker 2: When those kids came home, they spoke English as And
20:10
Speaker 2: I always say it's because of my grandparents imposing that
20:13
Speaker 2: on my father that I did not have any kind
20:15
Speaker 2: of an accent, because if my father had an accent,
20:19
Speaker 2: I would have probably been impacted and never had a
20:21
Speaker 2: broadcasting career. So I'm with you one hundred percent. There
20:24
Speaker 2: you go, And you know what, it doesn't matter. I
20:25
Speaker 2: don't care where they're from. The point is you come
20:27
Speaker 2: to America. The commonly accepted language here is English, and
20:31
Speaker 2: it's best for you coming here for you want to
20:33
Speaker 2: be in business and in school to learn the language
20:36
Speaker 2: that the majority of the people speak. It's not being
20:38
Speaker 2: discriminatory against other languages. I speak seven languages by choice,
20:42
Speaker 2: but America is where we speak English as a nation.
20:45
Speaker 2: That's all. It's as simple as that. It helps us. Peter,
20:48
Speaker 2: thank you so much. Let's have a memorable Memorial Day
20:51
Speaker 2: weekend for those who have fought and died for our country.
20:54
Speaker 2: Seven ten WR. It's eleven thirty two Friday. Ken Rizatto
20:58
Speaker 2: went from Wark and in just a few we'll speak
21:00
Speaker 2: with Save New Jersey founder Matt Rooney about the quietly
21:04
Speaker 2: revised climate data that basically crushes the doom and gloom
21:08
Speaker 2: predictions made by the environmentalists over the past three decks.
21:12
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean it's okay to pollute. It doesn't mean
21:14
Speaker 2: you should dump plastic in the water. I'm not saying that.
21:17
Speaker 2: But the world is going to end next year with
21:20
Speaker 2: the flooding in Manhattan. Eh, we'll talk about it seven
21:23
Speaker 2: to ten wor.
21:25
Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on seven ten WR.
21:29
Speaker 2: From Mark Today, here's Ken Rosatto. Good to be with
21:33
Speaker 2: you on a Friday, on Memorial Day weekend, Friday, and
21:36
Speaker 2: Mark having a nice long weekend, so it is good
21:39
Speaker 2: to be here to fill in. Yesterday, the great Jim
21:41
Speaker 2: Kerr was in the very seat that I am fortunate
21:44
Speaker 2: enough to plunk my backside in. What a great, great icon.
21:48
Speaker 2: He is in broadcasting. It was such a great thing.
21:51
Speaker 2: I literally had goosebumps listening to his voice, and of
21:54
Speaker 2: course I always get goosebumps listening to the great Mark Simone.
21:57
Speaker 2: He's one of my favorite broadcasters ever. So but great
21:59
Speaker 2: to be here. Hey. Our next guest is an attorney
22:02
Speaker 2: the founder of Save New Jersey, a conservative political news
22:05
Speaker 2: and media website focused on New Jersey and national politics.
22:09
Speaker 2: We say, good morning and welcome to Matthew Roney.
22:11
Speaker 5: Good to have you on, Matt, Thank you for having
22:14
Speaker 5: me back, my friend.
22:15
Speaker 2: You bet, I know you do it. You do a
22:17
Speaker 2: radio show down in Philly too, right, I do.
22:20
Speaker 5: I'm on twelve ten WPHT. I've got a Tuesday gig,
22:26
Speaker 5: I've got a podcast that's on the weekend. When you
22:28
Speaker 5: like this stuff, it's kind of in your system. It's
22:31
Speaker 5: a disease that you'll never kick, never defeat. There is
22:33
Speaker 5: no cure because we can have a conversation on the radio. Right,
22:37
Speaker 5: That's what I like about it.
22:39
Speaker 2: I love it, and I love you know. I was
22:41
Speaker 2: on Chanel seven for twenty years, and as much as
22:44
Speaker 2: I love doing TV news, there is something about the
22:47
Speaker 2: intimacy of radio that just can't be surpassed. It is awesome.
22:52
Speaker 2: So I read about I read your whole bio, of course,
22:55
Speaker 2: and I said, this guy is going to be perfect
22:56
Speaker 2: to talk about this topic. I knew it. President Trump
22:59
Speaker 2: pounds when climate modelers writing in a peer reviewed outlet
23:03
Speaker 2: quietly revised their doom and gloom prediction for the planet's climate,
23:07
Speaker 2: they were off by some four degrees celsius. And so
23:12
Speaker 2: all the doom and gloom that the the oceans would
23:14
Speaker 2: rise here let me, let me become Russia Limba for
23:17
Speaker 2: a second. The oceans will rise, the rivers will flood.
23:22
Speaker 2: The late great Russian Limba channel him here at Wor.
23:25
Speaker 2: He was on this station, and the idea that the
23:28
Speaker 2: world was coming to an end yesterday is false, as
23:31
Speaker 2: it turns out. But they did not pick that up
23:34
Speaker 2: on mainstream media. How is that even possible?
23:37
Speaker 5: Matt Yeah, go figure right, Well, if Rush was here,
23:41
Speaker 5: what would he say? It doesn't fit their narrative. It's
23:44
Speaker 5: all about the narrative. As conservatives, libertarians, wherever you fall
23:50
Speaker 5: in this right of center coalition, one of the things
23:53
Speaker 5: that unites this is we believe in God, we believe
23:56
Speaker 5: in the Constitution. We think there are higher things out
23:58
Speaker 5: there beyond our own self purpose. Not so for the left.
24:04
Speaker 5: They believe in leftism. It's part of the reason why
24:06
Speaker 5: you end up with so many consequences, because there's nothing
24:09
Speaker 5: else that ground them. And so the problem when ideology
24:14
Speaker 5: becomes religion is there's no way to dissuade someone when
24:18
Speaker 5: they're wrong. I mean, I'm Catholic, so you're not going
24:20
Speaker 5: to convince me that the Immaculate Conception isn't real. It's
24:24
Speaker 5: an article of faith. What happens when your politics becomes
24:28
Speaker 5: an article of faith, and that's what's happened with climate politics.
24:33
Speaker 5: They believe that mother Gaia is being destroyed by industry.
24:37
Speaker 5: It's on its last leg. And now no amount of
24:40
Speaker 5: information you give them to the contrary will ever change
24:44
Speaker 5: their minds. And rather than do what a discriminating human
24:47
Speaker 5: being is supposed to do, use the brain God gave
24:49
Speaker 5: you to evaluate new evidence and say, hey, maybe I
24:52
Speaker 5: was off on this point, they're just going to ignore it.
24:56
Speaker 5: It's sociopathic. Yes, it retards national ability to have a
25:01
Speaker 5: discussion on this subject, But goodness gracious, you know it's
25:07
Speaker 5: not surprising to you or I is it.
25:09
Speaker 2: Matt. First of all, I was a Catholic priest, so
25:11
Speaker 2: it's nice to hear we had a good Catholic boy
25:13
Speaker 2: on God Bless you and still very religious. There you God,
25:18
Speaker 2: I'm still still very much a Catholic, even though I'm
25:21
Speaker 2: not functioning as a priest right now. But I'm with you,
25:23
Speaker 2: and I think you nailed it when you pointed that out,
25:25
Speaker 2: and Limba, you should talk about that Russia Limbaugh all
25:28
Speaker 2: the time as well, and that yes, when you don't
25:31
Speaker 2: have God in your life, whether it be just believing
25:34
Speaker 2: in spiritually or believing firmly within the structure of organized religion,
25:39
Speaker 2: when you don't have God in your life as the center,
25:43
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, something else becomes that, whether
25:45
Speaker 2: it be abortion or environment, and if somebody tries to
25:49
Speaker 2: talk to you against that topic, suddenly they are persona
25:53
Speaker 2: non grata, hated. And that's the reason why, in fact,
25:56
Speaker 2: we'll even talk about another person on the radio. Mister
25:59
Speaker 2: Bongino used to say that what Republicans think, Democrats are
26:03
Speaker 2: good people with bad ideas, but Democrats think Republicans are
26:07
Speaker 2: bad people. And it comes down to the religious aspect
26:11
Speaker 2: of it. Right, We we believe we have a higher
26:13
Speaker 2: power to whom we must answer, whereas those on the
26:16
Speaker 2: far left don't buy that. They believe that they are
26:19
Speaker 2: the highest power. For the most part, I don't want
26:22
Speaker 2: to be too blanketing, but then you have that problem.
26:25
Speaker 2: That's why they don't even bother wanting to sit down
26:27
Speaker 2: and talk to the right. Are you there, Matt? Did
26:33
Speaker 2: we lose Matt? Maybe I talked too much and Matt said,
26:36
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm tired of this guy. Hung up.
26:38
Speaker 2: We'll see if we get Matt Beck.
26:40
Speaker 5: Oh, we got you. I think I think you have me.
26:43
Speaker 5: I think the deep state was trying to as is prone.
26:49
Speaker 5: As is prone to happen, we all, we all know.
26:51
Speaker 5: But look, no, you nailed it. I mean, that's why
26:53
Speaker 5: this is a This is a horse that I've been
26:56
Speaker 5: beating for a long time. And it's part of the
26:58
Speaker 5: reason why it's so easy or leftist to say that
27:03
Speaker 5: I'm not going to talk to a family member or
27:05
Speaker 5: friend anymore. If you look at the studies that have
27:08
Speaker 5: seen in recent years, it's so much easier for them
27:11
Speaker 5: to shun someone, to remove them from their social or
27:14
Speaker 5: family circle, not by somebody who's thanksgiving because they disagree
27:18
Speaker 5: on abortion or even something you know a little bit
27:21
Speaker 5: more banal, like you know, whether or not we should
27:24
Speaker 5: be involved in a certain conflict. You only get to
27:27
Speaker 5: that point when your priorities are hopelessly messed up when
27:31
Speaker 5: you create a secular religion for yourself. And that's what
27:34
Speaker 5: that's what climate politics is. It's a secular religion. It's
27:39
Speaker 5: arrogant to think that a human driving their suv can
27:44
Speaker 5: do more damage to this very durable, billions of year
27:46
Speaker 5: old planet than anything that could happen in the natural environment.
27:51
Speaker 5: So you know, I'm glad that we've been proven correct,
27:54
Speaker 5: but how much is it really worth unless we can
27:57
Speaker 5: penetrate their skulls?
27:58
Speaker 2: Yeh. That's part of the problem with the left is
28:01
Speaker 2: once they believe something like you said, it becomes their faith,
28:04
Speaker 2: it becomes their religion, and you can't even ask to
28:08
Speaker 2: talk to them. Even in fact, I've had friends on
28:11
Speaker 2: the far left and I've said, I would like you
28:13
Speaker 2: to dissuade me. I will sit there and be quiet,
28:16
Speaker 2: and you get they don't want to because the fact
28:19
Speaker 2: that you approach them not believing in advance means there's
28:23
Speaker 2: something wrong with you, and they don't want to waste
28:25
Speaker 2: their time. Truthfully, it's because they don't have an argument,
28:28
Speaker 2: but they don't want to waste their time because they
28:31
Speaker 2: don't feel you're worthy of it. That's part of the problem.
28:34
Speaker 2: So I think, as a person to the right, and
28:37
Speaker 2: I'm a libertarian conservative, as a person to the right,
28:40
Speaker 2: I welcome the discussion. I don't mean fight. I'm not
28:43
Speaker 2: going to call you names. I'm not going to be disrespectful.
28:45
Speaker 2: If there's something I can learn from you, and I've
28:47
Speaker 2: learned a lot from many of my liberal friends. Not
28:50
Speaker 2: much i'd like to call it'll be proud of, but nonetheless,
28:53
Speaker 2: I've learned a lot of things. And I think you know,
28:56
Speaker 2: when I was in high school, we learned in debate
28:59
Speaker 2: that you have to be able to debate from your
29:01
Speaker 2: opponent's side better than from your own if you want
29:03
Speaker 2: to be a champion debater, and so you need to
29:06
Speaker 2: speak to the opposite side in order to learn what
29:09
Speaker 2: the opposite side is talking about.
29:12
Speaker 5: Hey, I'm an attorney. That's my day job. I hope
29:15
Speaker 5: no one in your audience holds it against me, because
29:18
Speaker 5: we're not all vile. Many of us are, but not everyone.
29:22
Speaker 5: And I mean that's the foundation of my profession. You
29:26
Speaker 5: advocate zealously for your client, your position. You're not gonna
29:30
Speaker 5: lie you're doing any unethical but you're going to try
29:33
Speaker 5: to show them in the best possible life. But you
29:34
Speaker 5: know what, after court has done for the day, you
29:37
Speaker 5: go to that bar association event and you break bread,
29:41
Speaker 5: you don't take it personally. What you're doing is you're
29:43
Speaker 5: performing an important function that is one of the things
29:47
Speaker 5: that keeps our system glued together. So it's one of
29:52
Speaker 5: the many reasons why my head explodes every time a
29:57
Speaker 5: left that suggests that it is Trump, Conservatives, Republicans, whoever,
30:02
Speaker 5: that are threatening our fundamental institutions. Nothing is more important
30:06
Speaker 5: in a civil society than what you just articulated. The
30:09
Speaker 5: ability to disagree without trying to maim or hurt each
30:14
Speaker 5: other or cancel each other, or whatever you want to
30:16
Speaker 5: put it. But the left is no longer there. It's something,
30:20
Speaker 5: at the risk of being a little hyperbolic, we haven't
30:23
Speaker 5: been here in this country since the eighteen fifties, and
30:27
Speaker 5: we shouldn't. I think understate the risk. And it's one
30:30
Speaker 5: of the reasons bringing a full circle, why I continue
30:33
Speaker 5: to think that talk radio is so important if we
30:36
Speaker 5: want America to figure out how to have a conversation. Again,
30:39
Speaker 5: we have to show them how yeah.
30:41
Speaker 2: This is true. Unfortunately, many to the left, even when
30:44
Speaker 2: there were left leaning talk radio networks like Remember Pacifica
30:47
Speaker 2: and whatnot, people even the left doesn't engage in it
30:50
Speaker 2: because they feel they have to formulate the thought process,
30:54
Speaker 2: formulate their argument that they don't want to. They don't bother.
30:57
Speaker 2: They just feel that automatically you should be born believing this.
31:00
Speaker 2: They want to move on. And it's just very, very
31:02
Speaker 2: sad when you see people who have such a little
31:04
Speaker 2: value for things like human life, and when you have
31:08
Speaker 2: a killing of a CEO like Brian Thompson and you
31:11
Speaker 2: have young people who think, well, that's justifiable. And when
31:14
Speaker 2: you look at the breakdown of the percentage of people
31:17
Speaker 2: on the left who think that murder is justifiable in
31:20
Speaker 2: at least certain circumstances versus people from the right, it's
31:23
Speaker 2: literally antithetical. The two sides are opposite. It's so unreal
31:27
Speaker 2: as a person to the right to see that that
31:30
Speaker 2: percentage of people on the left think that in certain
31:32
Speaker 2: circumstances death would be acceptable. How did we get here?
31:37
Speaker 2: Is it just that we've surrendered to the communists our
31:39
Speaker 2: educational system.
31:42
Speaker 5: That's a big part of it, right, And it's not
31:44
Speaker 5: just the education system, you know, even though you are
31:46
Speaker 5: talking to you in your Jersey and where one of
31:48
Speaker 5: the states where the left grip on young minds is
31:52
Speaker 5: the most concerning. But it's the entertainment culture. It's the boardroom,
31:58
Speaker 5: the corporate boardroom, companies that advertise to your children and
32:03
Speaker 5: try to convince them which products they should like, which
32:05
Speaker 5: products they shouldn't on a daily basis. Conservatives made a
32:10
Speaker 5: decision a long time ago to go into non influential professions,
32:16
Speaker 5: and that was an unfortunate choice. And I think that,
32:20
Speaker 5: you know, if you're a conservative leader out there and
32:22
Speaker 5: you're looking for ways to impact our country long term,
32:26
Speaker 5: maybe consider ways to try to incentivize young right thinking
32:30
Speaker 5: men and women to get involved in the education system,
32:33
Speaker 5: to get involved in creating their own independent entertainment spheres.
32:37
Speaker 5: It's never been more possible with AI and the Internet
32:41
Speaker 5: some of the other tools you have at your disposal.
32:45
Speaker 5: The good news is that now they don't have a
32:49
Speaker 5: vice grip on information anymore. We could thank Elon Musk
32:52
Speaker 5: for that, we can thank Rush Limbaugh for that, but
32:56
Speaker 5: we still have a long way to go in this
32:59
Speaker 5: country towards achieving some kind of parody with the left
33:03
Speaker 5: and the ability to amplify our positions. We're starting to
33:07
Speaker 5: make progress, i mean, ask Paul Bear all about it.
33:10
Speaker 5: But we're running out of time. That's what I'm worried about.
33:14
Speaker 5: I'm not worried about Mother Gaia imploding, where the sea
33:17
Speaker 5: levels rising. I'm worried about does there come a point
33:20
Speaker 5: where we just have too many people that don't understand
33:23
Speaker 5: what's great about this country, so therefore they don't have
33:26
Speaker 5: the capacity or the will to reinforce it.
33:29
Speaker 2: Which is why we had a limit on immigration in
33:32
Speaker 2: the nineteen thirties and forties to fifty thousand a year,
33:35
Speaker 2: so that the people who came in in mass could
33:37
Speaker 2: assimilate and become Americans and learn what it is to
33:40
Speaker 2: be an American and learn the language, and get into
33:42
Speaker 2: the education system and become elected leaders locally. That's why
33:46
Speaker 2: it wasn't about being evil or being discriminatory, or you
33:49
Speaker 2: don't like people who are brown. Stop with the damn
33:52
Speaker 2: I'm brown. Stop with the brown silliness. It is silly.
33:56
Speaker 2: We have plenty of people of every shade in this
33:58
Speaker 2: country and they're all welcome, but nobody from any country
34:01
Speaker 2: on the planet needs to come here thirty million at
34:03
Speaker 2: a time, because that does not let you assimilate to
34:07
Speaker 2: become an American.
34:09
Speaker 5: Well, and you nailed it right there. It has nothing
34:11
Speaker 5: to do with ethnicity, skin collar, who your parents were,
34:14
Speaker 5: which patch of land you were born on. I always
34:17
Speaker 5: say I'm a culturalist, right, like, all humans are equal,
34:21
Speaker 5: but not all cultures are equal. I'll give you a
34:23
Speaker 5: classic example. If you're coming from a place in the
34:26
Speaker 5: world where you want a better life of your family,
34:28
Speaker 5: that's amazing. But if that part of the world believes
34:31
Speaker 5: in stoning women because they were raped, right, that's not
34:35
Speaker 5: something that you're going to emulate in its country. We're
34:37
Speaker 5: not going to allow. We insist that as part of
34:39
Speaker 5: this American enterprise, you adopt our values on those all
34:43
Speaker 5: important issues. And to your point, you hit it out
34:46
Speaker 5: of the park. That's what our system used to be
34:48
Speaker 5: designed to do. That's pluralism. That's not what the left
34:54
Speaker 5: has allowed to happen in recent decades with unrestricted in
34:59
Speaker 5: the Great So you know, I know some people on
35:02
Speaker 5: our side are a little salty with the president right now.
35:04
Speaker 5: They're utopians if they don't realize it. You know, unless
35:07
Speaker 5: I'm getting ninety nine percent of what I want, I'm
35:10
Speaker 5: going to take my ball and go home. If he
35:12
Speaker 5: does nothing else, it changes he's made to the Supreme
35:14
Speaker 5: Court in the federal judiciary and closing our borders to
35:18
Speaker 5: illegal immigration. It's going to pay dividends for this nation for.
35:23
