  Speaker 1: Wr Ken from Mark Today. Here's Ken Rosatto. Good to
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: be with you at seven ten wo r Let's go
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: straight to the busy phones. I got two mics at
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the very top, one from Nutley, one from Puerto Rico.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: So I'll tell you what. Just Mike and Nutley hang
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: on there. Let's go to Puerto Rico first. Good morning
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to you, Mike and Puerto Rico.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Good morning. Another beautiful day here. Of course, I love it,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: love it.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: How long ago are you from Puerto Rico or did
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you move there?
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I moved here about thirty years ago. I've been coming
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: down here since nineteen seventy when I used to work
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: for the government.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Ah nice, well, I'm jealous. I hope you enjoy your day.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I believe me. It's spectactuar. But I just wanted to
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: make a statement. People don't understand us. They really had
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: no concept of what Puerto Rico is. We just passed
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a law that says life begins at conception and the
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: person in the womb is a person and has where
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: all the rights of person each Democrats have no concept
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to will. We're like, you know, we close the stores
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: on Easter Sunday and Good Friday. What do they think
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: we're gonna do? Vote for these wackos up north. I
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: personally don't want to be a state. I love it
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the way it is. But they don't understand us at all.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I swear they don't.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: They just assume they want you. They want the votes,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: they want the two Senate seats, they want the congressional
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: seat that votes. Now there, I guess there is a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: There is a non voting representative that comes from Puerto Rico,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: correct for the House.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: That's so, that's correct, we have a which quarter commissioner. However,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: what makes them think we're going to vote with Democrat?
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: What makes them they assume?
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: You know what it is because many of the Puerto
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Rican folks and by the way, I married to somebody
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: who's haf Puerto Rican, many of the Puerto Rican folks
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: who come to the mainland of the United States. And yes,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: for those who don't realize, Puerto Rico is part of
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the United States, but it is not a state. It's
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: a territory. But am I right? Is it a territory technically, Well.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: It's a territory. It's a territory, but we have special status.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you come from the Virgin Island, you
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: need a passport to come in a outther of states.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: But Puerto Rico we get on, we get off in
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: any other state. Interesting now, it's not where we don't
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: have the vote in the national elections. That's true, and personally,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I don't mix it. I don't miss it at all.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: We vote locally. I vote locally. I don't know whether
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: my party is considered a Republican, a Democrat, have no idea.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: It's more issue warranted were you but.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: You were born on the mainland though, right, So when
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you moved to Puerto Rico from the mainland, do you
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: lose the ability to vote for the presidential election? I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: guess because you're no longer a citizen or not. You're
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: that you're not a citizen, but you're not a resident
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of the mainland. Once you go to Puerto Rico, you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: lose that about one.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: I was on.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I voted when I was on the mainland. I'm
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: a disabled that from Vietnam A long long time ago.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: So the the I don't miss voting in the states.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: It's too crazy now anyway. I mean, I would probably
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: vote for president Trump. He seems like an American, good guy,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: stand up guy. But these these Democrats that assume, oh, well,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: everybody in Puerto Rico has got brown skin, the Democrats.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: It's not true.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: This is true.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if they would be Democrat senators
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: from Puerto Rico. It's hard to tell. I mean, most
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: of my friends would probably vote Republican, be honest, if
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: they were voting in a federal election.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And even if they would have voted Democrat at one
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: point in times. They are a change and a lot
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of people have their eyes wide open and they're taking
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: a look at everything. Mike in Puerto Rico, enjoy your
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the sunshine, but we remember our vets and thank you
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: for serving our country. Sir, I appreciate you for being
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: on with us. Let's go to Mike in Nutley, New Jersey.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I used to live right next door in Belleville. Mike.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: How are you, sir, Mike. Let's go, let's hit it again.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Here we go Mike and Nutley. I'm sorry, I didn't
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: press the button properly. How are you, sir?
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Hi Ken, I'm doing okay. This is my I have
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: a message to President Trump and the do O Jane,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: this is my message. Since you're going after Hassan Piker
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: for being a later and popping up Cuba, you should
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: also go after these women of the View, because on
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: our own soil have you have on Sunny Hawston publicly
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: saying many times on the show, publicly saying that the
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: war that we're having with Iran on the President Trump
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: is unconstitutional. What she's actually doing is encouraging the soldiers
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: in the Iranian regime to hurt our military forces.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna pause, I'm gonna pausure one second right there,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: only because we're tired on time, Mike. They're actually doing
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: something right now about it, and that is they have
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the FCC investigating the broadcast licenses of all the ABC
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: owned TV stations and it's based primarily on what the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Women of the View have said. And the reason why
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: they did that is because on the View they ABC
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: at one point. And remember I used to work for
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the company. I don't work for them anymore, but they
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: used to have the View under their and Entertainment division.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Then they had it under their news division, and I believe,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and I don't know for sure, but I believe it
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: is back under their Entertainment Division. If it's under the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: entertainment division, then it must allow equal time when they're
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: talking candidates, and apparently they had on one candidate not another,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and so that's something that will be brought up. However,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the way the FCC works, the FCC can't proactively come
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: after a TV station. It has to be as the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: result of complaints. So if people don't complain in mass,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the FCC doesn't just can't really take it upon itself.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: All they can do is what they've done now, and
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: that's asked for an early review of the broadcast licenses,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and that's something that they're doing right now. Vincent and Brooklyn,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: we got about a minute left, and I can't let
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a day go by without having you on my friend.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: How are you good?
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: I'm okay, Ken, Good morning, Ken. You were talking about
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: classroom size. Back in the fifties, I attended parochial school
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: and in the classrooms we had fifty kids in the classroom.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: The boys were on one side of the room, the
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: girls are on the other side of the room, and
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: the nun or the brothers had no problem with discipline
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: in the classroom. Nobody spoke out, nobody wild anything like that,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: so these New York City school teachers are full of Bologne.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: It's just a union money money grab can. A number
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: of years ago, an investigative journalists in Italy axed an
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Albanian criminal. They dispixelated out the guy's face. They said,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: why do you come all the way from Albania and
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: or from Romania to commit crimes in Italy? And the
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: guy said, if I rob a chicken in Romania, I
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: get five years in the joint he says, if I
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: rob a chicken in Italy, he says, the judge will
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: probably ask me, oh, you forgot to take the side
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: edition there in, Darren lies the difference.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: That's it. We are empathetic to an extreme, and that
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: is part of the problem. Vincent, I know that you
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: will spend this day remembering those who fought and die first.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I got a cut only because it's the news time.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: I certainly will.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: But my friend, God bless you, and I always appreciate
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: your call. Vincent Vincent from Brooklyn, We appreciate you
