Hour 1: Love from 1500ft above. · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Now the Mark Simone Show on seven tenor filling in
0:05
Speaker 1: for Mark. Here's Ken Rosato.
0:08
Speaker 2: Very good to be with you on a Thursday. We
0:10
Speaker 2: like to call it Friday Eve. Yes, enjoy. I feel
0:13
Speaker 2: a holiday vibe going on. It is so beautiful out
0:16
Speaker 2: if you are looking out from an air conditioned window.
0:19
Speaker 2: If you have to be outside, I feel for you.
0:22
Speaker 2: Trust me. We have to hope that our police and
0:26
Speaker 2: fire and all our rescue people and the construction workers
0:29
Speaker 2: and everybody who has to work outside please give them
0:32
Speaker 2: bottles of ice cold water. And if you are working outside,
0:37
Speaker 2: remember to shade yourself a little bit, get a couple
0:39
Speaker 2: of breaks an hour if you can, because this is
0:42
Speaker 2: dangerously oppressively hot heat. Also, I don't know about you
0:45
Speaker 2: if you have elderly in your lives. My parents are
0:48
Speaker 2: eighty eight and ninety five. God bless them, very lucky
0:51
Speaker 2: to have them. But I noticed it like elderly people
0:54
Speaker 2: never feel like it's hot. It could be one hundred
0:59
Speaker 2: and twenty degrees out in the go. Oh it's comfortable. No,
1:01
Speaker 2: it's not. The thing is not only do they not
1:04
Speaker 2: feel hot, but the heat can be working on them
1:06
Speaker 2: and making them ill, and they don't know it until
1:08
Speaker 2: it's too late, So make sure to check in on elderly,
1:11
Speaker 2: make sure that they have air conditioning or at least
1:14
Speaker 2: they have a cool place to go, and that they
1:15
Speaker 2: are hydrating. The elderly ten not to drink water. So
1:20
Speaker 2: sorry to go off on a tangent like this, but
1:22
Speaker 2: it's just so important. This is when people get sick
1:24
Speaker 2: and die in this kind of oppressive heat. More people
1:27
Speaker 2: die from the extreme heath than from the extreme cold,
1:30
Speaker 2: so it's really important to take care of them, all right,
1:32
Speaker 2: all right, that done? Ken Rozatto in for the great
1:35
Speaker 2: Mark Simone. Mark has a couple of days off and
1:37
Speaker 2: it's an honor and a pleasure to be here for him.
1:40
Speaker 2: You may remember me from twenty years anchoring the Morning
1:43
Speaker 2: a Noon show over at Channel seven here in New York.
1:45
Speaker 2: I was on Channel five good day before that, and
1:48
Speaker 2: these days I'm on on New Jersey. That's a New
1:50
Speaker 2: Jersey TV channel. Anywhere in the country. You could stream
1:54
Speaker 2: it ATNNJ dot COMNENJ dot com you could. You know,
1:59
Speaker 2: the older folk are saying, what do you mean stream?
2:01
Speaker 2: What channel is it on? Unfortunately, folks, sorry, today it's
2:05
Speaker 2: moving toward towards streaming everything is streaming, so ask your kids,
2:09
Speaker 2: they'll tell you what streaming is. But good to be
2:11
Speaker 2: here with you. A lot to talk about. Phone lines
2:14
Speaker 2: are open. We'd love for you to give us a
2:15
Speaker 2: call and take part in the conversation. It's eight hundred
2:18
Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten. Eight hundred three two
2:23
Speaker 2: one zero seven ten. Well, as we mentioned, we are
2:26
Speaker 2: in the middle of a heat wave. A lot of
2:28
Speaker 2: the tri State's going to see about ninety eight degrees today,
2:31
Speaker 2: A few spots will break one hundred. Race Stagic was
2:33
Speaker 2: talking about this earlier with Larry and I Curtis, excuse me,
2:39
Speaker 2: and I just heard him say when he was talking
2:42
Speaker 2: about areas feeling like one hundred and ten, I cringed.
2:47
Speaker 2: And when I think of that with the high humidity,
2:49
Speaker 2: and again people who don't have a cold, air conditioned
2:52
Speaker 2: home to escape to, it makes me kind of sick inside.
2:56
Speaker 2: By the way, when we have days like this, I
2:58
Speaker 2: want to be able to look at my friends who
3:01
Speaker 2: like to say, how could you live part time in Florida?
3:04
Speaker 2: It's so hot and humid down there, all right? Just
3:06
Speaker 2: to give you a little contrast, in Fort Lauderdale today,
3:10
Speaker 2: you know what the high temperature is going to be
3:12
Speaker 2: eighty six Miami Beach, you know what, the high temperature
3:16
Speaker 2: is going to be eighty five, all right, and the
3:19
Speaker 2: humidity levels there are actually going to be lower than
3:22
Speaker 2: in the New York trist state. So yes, do they
3:26
Speaker 2: have more days per year in the eighties and nineties
3:29
Speaker 2: in South Florida than we do in the northeast, certainly,
3:33
Speaker 2: But it actually gets hotter in New York than it
3:36
Speaker 2: does in South Florida because in South Florida when it
3:39
Speaker 2: gets to be ninety five ninety six, they get thunderstorms
3:42
Speaker 2: to cool things down. Do you know what the hottest temperature?
3:44
Speaker 2: I'll ask, is he our producer? Is he is? He's
3:47
Speaker 2: our engineer? Actually, I'm sorry, Chris is our producer? Is he?
3:50
Speaker 2: What is the hottest temperature that we've ever had in
3:53
Speaker 2: South Florida? Do you do you know what the hottest
3:55
Speaker 2: temperature is? He says one point fifteen?
3:58
Speaker 3: All right.
3:58
Speaker 2: That's what a lot of people will think, because you
3:59
Speaker 2: have a team called the Miami Heat right, No. Ninety nine,
4:04
Speaker 2: And yet the hottest temperature in New York City is
4:07
Speaker 2: one hundred and six and in Newark is one hundred
4:09
Speaker 2: and eight. So it's actually been hotter here than in
4:12
Speaker 2: South Florida or even Orlando, where the high was one
4:14
Speaker 2: hundred and three. So once again to all my friends
4:17
Speaker 2: who say, ah, I could never live in Florida. It's
4:19
Speaker 2: so hot and humid in the summer. How could you
4:21
Speaker 2: deal with it? Well, go outside right now, you see
4:23
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. Right here we get hotter days,
4:26
Speaker 2: although not as many of them, but we get hotter
4:29
Speaker 2: days in New York, in New Jersey and Connecticut than
4:31
Speaker 2: they do in Florida. Seven ten w R the Voice
4:34
Speaker 2: of New York. It's Ken Rosatto and for Mark on
4:36
Speaker 2: your Thursday World Cup Soccer action. In the round of
4:40
Speaker 2: thirty two, Team USA yay beat BOSSI I Herzegovina two
4:44
Speaker 2: nothing last night. So for the first time since the nineties,
4:48
Speaker 2: Team USA will advance to the round of sixteen, and
4:52
Speaker 2: then they go to the round of eight. In the
4:53
Speaker 2: round four and then it's the finals. So keep your
4:57
Speaker 2: fingers crossed, say a prayer. I mean, I know somebody
5:00
Speaker 2: people who said they would never make it to the
5:01
Speaker 2: round of thirty two, and now they're saying, well, don't
5:04
Speaker 2: get your hopes up, Ken. They made it to the
5:06
Speaker 2: round of thirty two. But there's no way after or
5:09
Speaker 2: rather they made it to the round of sixteen, there's
5:11
Speaker 2: no way they're gonna make it beyond that. We'll see,
5:13
Speaker 2: you know, always keep hope, keep hope alive, as the
5:17
Speaker 2: late great Jesse Jackson used to say, keep hope alive,
5:20
Speaker 2: and hope for Team USA, and hope that a miracle happens.
5:24
Speaker 2: One of the promos for Soccer World Cup Soccer has
5:27
Speaker 2: one of the hockey players from the Olympics in nineteen eight,
5:30
Speaker 2: Remember the big Olympic hockey team that everyone said could
5:33
Speaker 2: not possibly win the Olympics. He's standing there with a
5:38
Speaker 2: was it dream or something like that on his T
5:40
Speaker 2: shirt talking about the soccer team. So you never know,
5:43
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens again. Seven to ten w R
5:46
Speaker 2: The Voice of New York. How about that crazy couple.
5:50
Speaker 2: It got engaged on top of the Empire State Building yesterday,
5:53
Speaker 2: so we heard Daria albing you're talking about it, and
5:56
Speaker 2: again Larry and Curtis were talking about it this morning.
5:58
Speaker 2: Apparently it's not the first time that they have scaled buildings.
6:01
Speaker 2: And these folks are Russian, but they live in East Orange,
6:04
Speaker 2: New Jersey.
6:05
Speaker 4: I don't know.
6:05
Speaker 2: I never associate East Orange with a big Russian community
6:08
Speaker 2: somehow maybe who knows whatever. But their names are Angela
6:12
Speaker 2: Nicolau and Ivan Birkis Kud's nets kud. Let me get
6:17
Speaker 2: this right, Kud's nets off. And by the way, they're
6:20
Speaker 2: good looking couple. I mean, he's very handsome and she
6:23
Speaker 2: is hot. But what drove me in, said, right, is
6:27
Speaker 2: he's going, yeah, she's hot. What was crazy is that
6:32
Speaker 2: not only were they not harnessed. Do you realize that
6:35
Speaker 2: that they were on top of fifteen hundred feet of
6:37
Speaker 2: Empire State building with no harness, no tether, nothing. They
6:42
Speaker 2: didn't have suction cups, they didn't have anything to grip
6:46
Speaker 2: except I think they had gloves that they took off
6:48
Speaker 2: at one point. How on earth do you do that?
6:51
Speaker 2: The building temperature alone must have been one hundred and
6:54
Speaker 2: twenty degrees in that baking heat that sun, and then
6:57
Speaker 2: to climb to the top. And I heard Kurtist talking
7:00
Speaker 2: about this a little earlier, and I was in my
7:01
Speaker 2: car coming in applauding him. He was talking about the
7:06
Speaker 2: RF radiation and let me explain what that is off
7:09
Speaker 2: of the big Master FM antenna on the spire of
7:14
Speaker 2: the Empire State building. So AM antennas are mostly New
7:18
Speaker 2: Jersey and in the Bronx that's where all the AM
7:21
Speaker 2: radio antennas are located. The FM radio antennas and the
7:24
Speaker 2: TV antennas are for the most part on top of
7:28
Speaker 2: the Empire State Building. There are a few TV stations
7:30
Speaker 2: down at the New World Trade Center, but the all
7:33
Speaker 2: the fms and the TVs are on top of the Empire. Okay,
7:39
Speaker 2: that's about two hundred to two hundred and fifty thousand
7:42
Speaker 2: watts of radiation. And they'll say, you know, engineers will
7:47
Speaker 2: say it's non ionizing radiation. No, Well, even non ionizing
7:51
Speaker 2: means it doesn't cause a permanent change to your cell structure.
7:55
Speaker 2: But it's dangerous. It's like basically sitting in a microwave
7:58
Speaker 2: oven when you're within a few feet of it for
8:00
Speaker 2: a while. Okay, and these folks were up there thirty
8:02
Speaker 2: forty five minutes. They could have fallen. The heat could
8:07
Speaker 2: have gotten them the just you know, up at that height,
8:11
Speaker 2: the building actually sways a few feet in each direction.
8:14
Speaker 2: They could have lost their balance, and then of course
8:17
Speaker 2: the radiation. If they are not sick today, and I
8:19
Speaker 2: hope they never get sick, but my gut tells me
8:22
Speaker 2: in the next few weeks, they're going to get sick,
8:25
Speaker 2: because there's no way you could be Any radio engineer
8:28
Speaker 2: will tell you there is no way you could be
8:30
Speaker 2: next to all that radiation for that amount of time
8:34
Speaker 2: and not have some kind of permanent damage to your
8:36
Speaker 2: organs or whatever. If nothing happens, I will be shocked.
8:39
Speaker 2: They'll have to analyze this as a case study in
8:42
Speaker 2: the future. But I hope for the best for them.
8:46
Speaker 2: But that's nothing you want to do. If you know
8:48
Speaker 2: where there's a radio tower, stay away, all right. The
8:50
Speaker 2: only time engineers who do this for a living go
8:53
Speaker 2: near them is when they turn the transmitter off and
8:56
Speaker 2: they turn on the backup transmitter somewhere else. They won't.
8:58
Speaker 2: They're not crazy. They're not going to touch the Those
9:00
Speaker 2: towers are going near those master in tennis. It's just
9:03
Speaker 2: nothing you should be doing, all right. Seven to ten
9:05
Speaker 2: WR The Voice of New York Carozatto in for Mark
9:09
Speaker 2: the Great Mark Simone taking a nice long weekend. New
9:12
Speaker 2: York and New Jersey finally have budgets for both states
9:17
Speaker 2: and cities. The city of New York at least, so
9:19
Speaker 2: get this in New Jersey, The New spending plan is
9:22
Speaker 2: sixty one billion dollars for nine point five million people
9:27
Speaker 2: New York City. The twenty twenty seven spending plan is
9:30
Speaker 2: one hundred twenty six I'm sorry, sorry, the twenty seven
9:34
Speaker 2: spending plans on one hundred twenty six billion. I got
9:36
Speaker 2: it right. Meanwhile, the entire state of Florida, which has
9:41
Speaker 2: nearly three times the population of the City of New
9:44
Speaker 2: York listen to this. You know what, the spending plan
9:47
Speaker 2: for the state of Florida is one hundred and eighteen billion.
9:51
Speaker 2: So how does the state of Florida, which has all
9:53
Speaker 2: new infrastructure, schools that have been totally revapped top to bottom,
9:57
Speaker 2: and an influx of people to the tune of ten
10:01
Speaker 2: thousand a day. They have almost what, twenty four million
10:06
Speaker 2: residents right now and it's growing every day. New York
10:09
Speaker 2: City has eight point five million, and with twenty four
10:11
Speaker 2: million people in the state of Florida, their budget is
10:13
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighteen billion. In New York Cities is
10:16
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty six billion. Somebody tell me why.
10:21
Speaker 2: Somebody tell me how the state of Florida and believe me,
10:25
Speaker 2: it used to be. The joke was they pay you
10:27
Speaker 2: in sunshine in Florida, they paid a lot less. Today
10:29
Speaker 2: police get paid very well in Florida. That's why they're
10:32
Speaker 2: losing a lot of NYPD to Florida police departments. You
10:35
Speaker 2: have the infrastructure, for sure, better roads, and the schools
10:39
Speaker 2: used to be weak. Now the schools are really good
10:41
Speaker 2: in Florida. So how is it possible if not for
10:44
Speaker 2: fiscal mismanagement and leftism? The only real difference. State of
10:49
Speaker 2: Florida is entirely Republican run top to bottom, and the
10:52
Speaker 2: state of New York is entirely Democrat run top to bottom.
10:55
Speaker 2: There is no other difference, So you tell me, Okay,
10:58
Speaker 2: how does it happen? Wr the Voice of a New
11:01
Speaker 2: York Give us a call eight hundred three two one
11:03
Speaker 2: zero seven ten, eight hundred three to two one zero
11:06
Speaker 2: seven ten. We want to know what you have to
11:08
Speaker 2: say about it. And then, have you heard about Senator
11:10
Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell. We find out yesterday that he was discovered
11:13
Speaker 2: unconscious inside his home, and we wish him well, we
11:17
Speaker 2: hope he's doing okay. But he was found two and
11:20
Speaker 2: a half weeks ago. After some speculator he may have
11:24
Speaker 2: had a heart attack. Now, why are we only finding
11:27
Speaker 2: out now that he was unconscious in his home two
11:31
Speaker 2: and a half weeks ago. I think I have an
11:33
Speaker 2: idea I'll share with you in a moment. But it's
11:35
Speaker 2: a little unnerving to think that a United States Senator
11:38
Speaker 2: could have that happen, and we don't hear a word
11:42
Speaker 2: for eighteen days now. His current term doesn't end until
11:46
Speaker 2: January of twenty seven. Why doesn't he just retire? Well,
11:49
Speaker 2: part of the problem is the current governor of Kentucky,
11:52
Speaker 2: where Mitch McConnell is a Senator. The current governor of
11:56
Speaker 2: Kentucky is Andy Basheer. He is a Democrat. Now, under
11:59
Speaker 2: the constitution, the governor of the state can appoint a
12:04
Speaker 2: replacement senator if the senator leaves office early. So that
12:09
Speaker 2: means that Governor Basheer could technically replace McConnell if McConnell
12:15
Speaker 2: were to step down with a Democrat. And so there's
12:18
Speaker 2: probably a lot of pressure coming from the Senate Senate
12:21
Speaker 2: Republicans to just keep keep things under wraps. We don't
12:25
Speaker 2: want folks to know how sick he might be. Again,
12:28
Speaker 2: we hope he is well, and if he's recovering, we
12:30
Speaker 2: hope he recovers quickly. Mitch McConnell. But with the margin
12:34
Speaker 2: being fifty three forty seven Republican, a Democrat, and the Senate,
12:38
Speaker 2: they can't really afford to lose one or two people.
12:41
Speaker 2: So until we hear otherwise, it is sort of a
12:43
Speaker 2: weekend at Bernie's with Senator McConnell in Kentucky. But we
12:49
Speaker 2: just hope he gets back and gets better soon. But
12:51
Speaker 2: the man has had those episodes in public where he
12:53
Speaker 2: just stares off into the wilderness and doesn't know what's
12:56
Speaker 2: going on. And I think, you know, there may just
12:59
Speaker 2: be time for the man to retire with dignity, think
13:01
Speaker 2: about his health and his family. He did a lot
13:04
Speaker 2: of great things over his years. I know there are
13:05
Speaker 2: a lot of things he's for those who love Trump.
13:08
Speaker 2: He is very anti Trump, but there are a lot
13:10
Speaker 2: of the old school Republicans who are so Again, we
13:14
Speaker 2: just wish him well and hope he does well. All right,
13:16
Speaker 2: and gas prices in the US continue to drop. The
13:19
Speaker 2: national average price for gallon of gases already down to
13:22
Speaker 2: three eighty five a gallon, with things appearing to cool
13:25
Speaker 2: down in the straight of hord Moves. It's still up
13:28
Speaker 2: from three eighteen a year ago, but the price is
13:31
Speaker 2: falling each week at the rate that it's currently falling,
13:34
Speaker 2: by the end of August beginning September, we should be
13:37
Speaker 2: down to where we were a year ago, just in
13:39
Speaker 2: time for the midterm elections. Imagine spending three eighteen gallon
13:43
Speaker 2: for gas, and remember the impact that we'll have. Every
13:47
Speaker 2: item that you buy is transported by vehicle that uses gas.
13:52
Speaker 2: So all the groceries you buy, the clothing you buy,
13:55
Speaker 2: everything will go down in price. You know, the half
13:59
Speaker 2: the clothes you win are made from polyester. Do you
14:02
Speaker 2: know that polyester is made from fossil fuel. It's made
14:05
Speaker 2: from oil. So as oil prices continue to drop, that
14:08
Speaker 2: means polyester prices go down, et cetera. So everything goes
14:12
Speaker 2: down in price. And then of course the gust of gas,
14:14
Speaker 2: which is one of the biggest week to week expenses
14:17
Speaker 2: you have outside of groceries, is gasoline for your vehicle.
14:21
Speaker 2: So that'll all go down. That's a good thing. And
14:23
Speaker 2: hopefully eventually flight prices will come down to airline prices.
14:28
Speaker 2: Now that Spirit used to be a big supplier of
14:31
Speaker 2: low cost tickets to the tri State. Now that Spirit
14:34
Speaker 2: is out of the picture, I noticed a lot of
14:36
Speaker 2: the airline prices have shot up, and that's going to
14:39
Speaker 2: be the case for quite some time, especially while fuel
14:41
Speaker 2: prices are still high. So we'll keep our fingers crossed
14:43
Speaker 2: and hope that that comes down to all right, seven
14:45
Speaker 2: to ten, WO are the Voice of New York. It's
14:48
Speaker 2: Ken Risotto in for Mark. We'll take those calls at
14:50
Speaker 2: eight hundred three two one zero seven ten. Eight hundred
14:53
Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten. Those calls are coming
14:56
Speaker 2: up next. Sunny, hot, humid today as the heat wave continues,
15:00
Speaker 2: upper nineties humidities making you feel a lot hotter than that.
15:03
Speaker 2: And a little later we'll speak with a woman from
15:05
Speaker 2: the Independent Council on Women's Sports regarding the Supreme Court
15:09
Speaker 2: decision this week to allow states to ban biological males
15:12
Speaker 2: from competing in female sports. But again, your calls are
15:15
Speaker 2: next eight hundred and three to two one zero seven ten.
15:18
Speaker 2: It is ten twenty one, seven to ten, wor We're coming.
15:21
Speaker 1: Right back No Mark zimone show live from the woor
15:25
Speaker 1: Life Back Studios. Guest hosting from Mark Today, here's King Rosato.
15:31
Speaker 2: And so nice to be with you. Let's get right
15:33
Speaker 2: to our busy phones. Richard and Bashore, good morning to you.
15:35
Speaker 2: Thanks for calling into the Mark Simone Show.
15:38
Speaker 4: Hey, thank you, Ken, thank you for taking us place today.
15:40
Speaker 4: Do you know how the average guest price is weighted?
15:44
Speaker 4: Is it just the number of states divided by fifty
15:47
Speaker 4: or is it waited by population or a number of vehicles?
15:50
Speaker 2: That's a very good question.
15:51
Speaker 5: Delaware have the same effect as California?
15:53
Speaker 4: Or great question.
15:55
Speaker 2: That's a very valid question because now, so these numbers
15:58
Speaker 2: come from Triple A, and there are several organizations that
16:00
Speaker 2: come up with the numbers, but they're all generally within
16:03
Speaker 2: a few cents of each other. So I think, no matter.
16:06
Speaker 2: But I get what your point is. If there are
16:07
Speaker 2: thirty five million people in California and the cost in
16:10
Speaker 2: California is six dollars a gallon, and then in wherever
16:14
Speaker 2: Texas it's three dollars a gallon, and then you get
16:16
Speaker 2: a state like Delaware, does everyone get an equal count there?
16:19
Speaker 2: That makes a lot of sense. I don't know the answer,
16:20
Speaker 2: but I will find out for you. I'll find out
16:22
Speaker 2: before the end of the show. Was your question attached that?
16:26
Speaker 4: Yes?
16:27
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
16:27
Speaker 2: Oh there you go, all right, Richard, Thank you for listening.
16:29
Speaker 2: Thanks for calling in. My friend appreciate it. Let's go
16:31
Speaker 2: to Robert in Westchester.
16:33
Speaker 4: Good morning, Robert, good morning, how are you ken? And bonafesta,
16:38
Speaker 4: bonifesta la so gratzi. So you know when I hear,
16:44
Speaker 4: like the pundits say, well, these kids nowadays, they're turning
16:48
Speaker 4: to socialism because they can't get a house, they can't
16:50
Speaker 4: get a car, they can't get food, they can't get
16:53
Speaker 4: medical care. Okay, so I'm sixty three and I did
16:58
Speaker 4: well in history. I remember the stock market crash in school,
17:02
Speaker 4: and then the Great Depression. People lost their house, people
17:06
Speaker 4: lost their cars, People had no food to eat. People
17:09
Speaker 4: also lived in the street and ate out of soup
17:12
Speaker 4: kitchens and definitely had no health care. But you know
17:14
Speaker 4: the other differences, because in nineteen forty one and December seventh,
17:18
Speaker 4: on December eighth, hundreds of thousands of young Americans loved
17:22
Speaker 4: their nation so much. They didn't turn the socialism, they
17:25
Speaker 4: didn't turn the communism. They turned to their nation and said,
17:29
Speaker 4: now it's time for us to give back, and we
17:31
Speaker 4: love you. My father was part of that generation. He
17:35
Speaker 4: fought in World War two and he lived through the
17:36
Speaker 4: Depression as my mother did. And God dressed them both
17:40
Speaker 4: and they raised their son, and everything I owned today
17:43
Speaker 4: a tribute to my mother, to this country, and to
17:46
Speaker 4: the founding fathers. These kids are spoiled brats. I don't
17:50
Speaker 4: want to hear that they can't afford this. They can't
17:52
Speaker 4: afford that. You know when I bought my first house,
17:54
Speaker 4: how long it took me at age fifty. I'm not
17:57
Speaker 4: trying to blow my own horn, but this nation deserves respect,
18:00
Speaker 4: and it deserves you to give back to it, not
18:03
Speaker 4: just to take. It's going to be a little rough,
18:05
Speaker 4: but you know what people usually do. They get two jobs,
18:08
Speaker 4: to get three jobs. You can't live in mommy daddy's
18:10
Speaker 4: basement and say, well, Ken's driving a Porsche. I want
18:13
Speaker 4: to drive one.
18:13
Speaker 2: I will.
18:14
Speaker 4: You're gonna have to take the bus, right, You're gonna
18:16
Speaker 4: have to take the bus. But Ken, Happy fourth of July.
18:20
Speaker 4: Thank you very much for letting me get my say.
18:22
Speaker 4: God bless you, my friend, and God bless America.
18:25
Speaker 2: God bless you back. And I'm with you on the
18:26
Speaker 2: God Bless America. Robert much appreciated. And yeah, you know what,
18:29
Speaker 2: Robert's right, And I think a lot of it has
18:31
Speaker 2: to do with Robert's parents. Like my parents, they're from
18:33
Speaker 2: that same generation they went to school and were not
18:36
Speaker 2: taught socialism by teachers. You have socialism, especially in colleges,
18:41
Speaker 2: but then it's filtered down to high school and even
18:43
Speaker 2: grammar school. Now a very leftist mentality among teachers. If
18:47
Speaker 2: I meet and listen, my mother in law was a
18:50
Speaker 2: teacher and she was not a socialist. But nowadays, many
18:53
Speaker 2: of the young teachers a meeting, I have to take
18:55
Speaker 2: a step back and I wait and let them talk
18:58
Speaker 2: to see where they stand politically, and I'd say eight
19:00
Speaker 2: out of ten, eight at of ten tend to be
19:02
Speaker 2: left of center. And I don't know if it's because
19:04
Speaker 2: it's more women tend to be more empathetic and liberal
19:07
Speaker 2: than men, and more teachers happen to be female than male.
19:11
Speaker 2: I don't know where it comes from, or if it
19:12
Speaker 2: was an intentional indoctrination by the colleges, but nonetheless that's
19:16
Speaker 2: what we see. Yes, that's Charles Charles is telling them
19:19
Speaker 2: just be quiet back there, because I'm on the radio
19:21
Speaker 2: a Charles and Millard place.
19:22
Speaker 4: How are you, my friend, great Ken, how are you?
19:26
Speaker 2: I'm good. I used to work not far from there.
19:28
Speaker 2: Many men I used to work out in Medford, so
19:30
Speaker 2: I know where Miller Place is very well, but go ahead.
19:33
Speaker 2: What's your question today? Good morning?
19:35
Speaker 5: So a while back you were on you Fill it
19:38
Speaker 5: in from Mark and you had mentioned the real ID
19:42
Speaker 5: with the licenses in New York and the difference between
19:45
Speaker 5: most of the Red states and how we continued with
19:48
Speaker 5: the regular license and then we had to purchase of
19:51
Speaker 5: real ID. Right, what would happen if we pulled the
19:56
Speaker 5: same trick with with the birthright citizenship? Okay, yes, you're
20:01
Speaker 5: a citizen, but you're not a real citizen, you know
20:04
Speaker 5: what I mean?
20:05
Speaker 2: But no, I don't know what you mean. Where are
20:07
Speaker 2: you going with it? In other words, we give them citizenship,
20:10
Speaker 2: but we have some kind of differentiation, but you can't
20:12
Speaker 2: because if there's you're either a citizen or you're not.
20:15
Speaker 2: That's the problem.
20:16
Speaker 5: Yeah, they have seen that, but you know you either
20:18
Speaker 5: have a license, so you don't, right, So.
20:22
Speaker 2: I gotta pause on that one. Here's the difference. Birthright
20:25
Speaker 2: citizenship doesn't naturalize you as a citizen. You're a citizen.
20:28
Speaker 2: In other words, the people who are birthright citizens, they
20:31
Speaker 2: could become president. These are not people who we are
20:34
Speaker 2: allowing to become citizens later. Those people could have their
20:37
Speaker 2: citizenship revoked. If you're a birthright citizen, that person can
20:42
Speaker 2: be president. That's what's scary about this decision. You could
20:45
Speaker 2: literally have. In fact, there's one study that shows there
20:47
Speaker 2: as many as a million people from China who intentionally
20:51
Speaker 2: came over in the last ten years and gave birth,
20:54
Speaker 2: have their children born in the US, went back to China,
20:57
Speaker 2: and over the next fifteen twenty years we're going to
20:59
Speaker 2: graduate get a million people from communist China coming here
21:02
Speaker 2: who are full fledged American citizens, and they could become president.
21:06
Speaker 2: Yet they could be truly the Manchurian candidate who hate
21:09
Speaker 2: the United States, who could be plotting against us. But
21:12
Speaker 2: because of this opening of a can of worms by
21:15
Speaker 2: our wonderful Supreme Court and Justice Roberts, who you can't
21:18
Speaker 2: trust as far as you could throw in terms of
21:20
Speaker 2: making decisions because he always wants to make everybody happy.
21:23
Speaker 2: Now we have a can of worms open, and we
21:25
Speaker 2: have a Democrat group in Congress that will never allow
21:29
Speaker 2: for the Republicans to try to pass a constitutional amendment.
21:32
Speaker 2: So that's our problem. But I appreciate the call, Charles,
21:34
Speaker 2: thank you so much. It is ten thirty three right now,
21:37
Speaker 2: seven to ten. The Voice of New York seven to
21:39
Speaker 2: ten wo R. Coming up next, we'll speak with a
21:42
Speaker 2: woman from the Independent Council on Women's Sports regarding the
21:44
Speaker 2: Supreme Court decision to allow states to ban biological males
21:48
Speaker 2: from competing in female sports. Time now for Dari Albinger,
21:52
Speaker 2: and I'm pronouncing your name properly with the news get board.
21:56
Speaker 1: A good good morning. Are you staying cool today?
21:58
Speaker 2: I'm sitting on a block of ice and fanning myself
22:01
Speaker 2: off that you are the epitome of Oh listen to Daria.
22:05
Speaker 1: This is the Mark Simone Show on seven to ten
22:08
Speaker 1: WOI Ken from Mark Today, Here's Ken Rosatto.
22:13
Speaker 2: And nice to be again with you on a Thursday,
22:15
Speaker 2: a Friday eve, we like to call it, with this
22:17
Speaker 2: great long holiday weekend upon us. You know, ten years ago,
22:20
Speaker 2: the concept of biological males and female sports wouldn't have
22:23
Speaker 2: been taken seriously by just about anybody. But the far
22:26
Speaker 2: left in America loves to push and push and push
22:31
Speaker 2: until the rest of society finally pushes back and says,
22:34
Speaker 2: knock it off. And then they look at the mainstream
22:37
Speaker 2: society's whoa, whoa, what would he mean? Well, a number
22:40
Speaker 2: of states started pushing back stopping biological males from competing
22:43
Speaker 2: on female teams, and they got sued, But the Supreme
22:47
Speaker 2: Court this week finally decided that states have the right
22:51
Speaker 2: to say no to trans athletes wanting to compete on
22:54
Speaker 2: teams opposite the gender that they were assigned at birth.
22:58
Speaker 2: Former San Jose State volleyball player Brooks Slusser is now
23:01
Speaker 2: with the Independent Council on Women's Sports and is applauding
23:05
Speaker 2: the High Court's decision. We say good morning to you, Brook,
23:08
Speaker 2: good morning, How are you wonderful? Thank you and very
23:11
Speaker 2: happy as I'm sure you are about the Supreme Court's
23:14
Speaker 2: decision at least one decision that it seems like they
23:16
Speaker 2: got right here. So the Supreme Court looked at two
23:19
Speaker 2: cases in this case that they put together, it was
23:21
Speaker 2: West Virginia versus BPJ and Little versus he Cocks. And
23:25
Speaker 2: in Little versus Hecocks, specifically, the state of Idaho passed
23:29
Speaker 2: the Fairness in Women's Sports Act way back in twenty twenty,
23:32
Speaker 2: prohibiting trans women and girls aka biological males, from competing
23:36
Speaker 2: on female teams. A biological male identifying as a female
23:40
Speaker 2: and going by the name Lindsay Heacos wanted to try
23:42
Speaker 2: out for Boise State University's track and cross country teams,
23:46
Speaker 2: but was told no. And that's how this all started, right,
23:48
Speaker 2: And this decision was not that It's not that certain
23:53
Speaker 2: states can't still have biological males on women's sports. It's
23:57
Speaker 2: just that it's up to the state to decide correct exactly, yes,
24:03
Speaker 2: So why is anybody protesting that.
24:07
Speaker 6: That's the one thing we still need to work on.
24:10
Speaker 6: This is a big win and it is exciting, like
24:13
Speaker 6: you said, but we still have I want to say,
24:16
Speaker 6: it's twenty three states that are choosing to allow it
24:19
Speaker 6: to still happen having men on women's sports teams. So
24:23
Speaker 6: this is a big win and it is very exciting,
24:26
Speaker 6: but like you said, states can still pick for themselves,
24:29
Speaker 6: So we still have a lot more work to do
24:31
Speaker 6: to make sure that the states are still allowing it
24:34
Speaker 6: change their minds on that topic.
24:36
Speaker 2: So here's a question, Brook, How does the father of
24:40
Speaker 2: any daughter who's attending a college as an athlete? How
24:44
Speaker 2: does that father here? Yes, it sounds sexist, I'm speaking
24:47
Speaker 2: up with the dads here. How does any father say
24:50
Speaker 2: it's okay that my daughter is going to be slammed
24:53
Speaker 2: in the head at ninety miles an hour by a
24:55
Speaker 2: volleyball thrust upon her by a guy who identifies today's woman.
25:00
Speaker 2: How does any fathership back and go oh whatever, I
25:03
Speaker 2: don't get it.
25:04
Speaker 6: I don't get it either. I mean my dad, just
25:08
Speaker 6: from my situation, he was absolutely livid, like right as
25:13
Speaker 6: he found out everything that was going on. He was
25:16
Speaker 6: driving or flying up to be with me the whole time,
25:20
Speaker 6: and he was absolutely pissed at my coaching staff, my
25:25
Speaker 6: compliance that hid it from me and my team. So personally,
25:29
Speaker 6: I just don't understand again how a dad could be
25:32
Speaker 6: okay with it. I had a dad that definitely was not,
25:37
Speaker 6: so he did everything in his power to be there
25:39
Speaker 6: for me when I was having to go through that
25:42
Speaker 6: hard time.
25:43
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I laugh at the fact that in
25:46
Speaker 2: every case of trans athletes and the whole issue being
25:49
Speaker 2: brought up, we don't have a case. We don't have
25:52
Speaker 2: a case of a woman who is a trans male
25:56
Speaker 2: fighting to compete on a man's team. Do you notice
25:59
Speaker 2: that it's always men fighting to be a woman identifying
26:04
Speaker 2: as a woman, so they have the physiological attributes of
26:08
Speaker 2: a man and could be superior in strength and speed
26:10
Speaker 2: and response on a sports team. Why is that think?
26:14
Speaker 2: Is it me or am I the only weirdo that
26:16
Speaker 2: has noticed that?
26:19
Speaker 6: No, believe me. I have talked about this a lot,
26:23
Speaker 6: and I think it's pretty obvious. The reasoning is because
26:26
Speaker 6: any woman or girl that tries to say or become
26:30
Speaker 6: a man quote unquote knows that they would get trampled
26:35
Speaker 6: and humiliated trying to play on any men's team. So
26:38
Speaker 6: they still play on their women's sports teams like they should.
26:42
Speaker 6: But these men that are coming in trying to call
26:44
Speaker 6: themselves girls or women are dominating every field of athletics
26:49
Speaker 6: that they join because they are scientifically biologically better superior
26:55
Speaker 6: as it should be. I mean, we all know this.
26:57
Speaker 6: These are scientific basic facts.
27:00
Speaker 2: And even if they are caught pre puberty and given
27:05
Speaker 2: puberty blockers, males are born endemically. They are born any
27:10
Speaker 2: doctor will tell you already with a larger frame, larger deltoids,
27:14
Speaker 2: larger shoulders, even before the massive amounts of testosterone come
27:18
Speaker 2: in at puberty, so that physiologically they're already different. Their
27:23
Speaker 2: cells already respond differently, the twitch cells and whatnot. Any
27:27
Speaker 2: scientist worth their salt who is honest will tell you that.
27:31
Speaker 2: So it's not just well, this little boy was given
27:34
Speaker 2: puberty blockers, which, by the way, should be criminal to
27:37
Speaker 2: be given puberty blockers, because by the way, I had
27:39
Speaker 2: an uncle. Puberty Blockers, for those who don't know, stop
27:42
Speaker 2: the testes from producing large amounts of testosterone in the
27:46
Speaker 2: case of the male, puberty blockers, and that's what they
27:49
Speaker 2: give men who have prosta cancer because testosterone feeds cancer,
27:54
Speaker 2: tumors and prostate cancer. And so they used to the
27:58
Speaker 2: cure for prosta cancer, if you will, treatment at the cure.
28:00
Speaker 2: The treatment used to be to remove a man's testicles,
28:03
Speaker 2: and now they use something that was a prona I
28:05
Speaker 2: forget what it's called, something known the name of the drug,
28:08
Speaker 2: and they give you this drug that basically puts the
28:11
Speaker 2: testes to sleep so they don't produce testosterone, and so
28:15
Speaker 2: that's a puberty blocker, but it can permanently disable or
28:19
Speaker 2: damage the testes. So if the child at fourteen changes
28:22
Speaker 2: his mind and decides I do want to be a man,
28:25
Speaker 2: at that point, it might be too late. This is
28:26
Speaker 2: why it is so crazy. But that's another argument for
28:29
Speaker 2: another day. I'm sorry Brooke to go off on that tangent,
28:32
Speaker 2: but now the problem is, as we just addressed in
28:35
Speaker 2: the beginning. If forty percent of the states still do
28:38
Speaker 2: permit biological males and women's sports, how will you compete interstate?
28:43
Speaker 2: Will you just have to have one league that is
28:46
Speaker 2: just all female and another league that is mixed female
28:49
Speaker 2: and biological male.
28:52
Speaker 6: I mean, the NCAA was made on the fact that
28:56
Speaker 6: there is separate men's and women's sports, and it's been
28:59
Speaker 6: like that for obviously this is a known thing. I
29:03
Speaker 6: don't think we need to change that. I think you
29:05
Speaker 6: just you have to play in your biological sex sport,
29:09
Speaker 6: and that's how it should be. That's how it's always been,
29:11
Speaker 6: that's the fair way to play, Like you just said,
29:15
Speaker 6: with younger kids trying to be transgenders or whatever they
29:20
Speaker 6: call them. I coach the thirteen's girls team, and there
29:23
Speaker 6: was a boy calling himself a girl that we had
29:26
Speaker 6: to play against and he whoopd their butt. So this
29:29
Speaker 6: is at every level that it's an issue. It's not
29:32
Speaker 6: just college athletics that once these men are getting to
29:35
Speaker 6: that age of more development and everything, that there's still
29:39
Speaker 6: so much more superior at every age that they try
29:42
Speaker 6: and call themselves girls or women. It's a big issue,
29:46
Speaker 6: not even just on the court, but off the court,
29:48
Speaker 6: in the girls' locker rooms, the girl's bathrooms, and so
29:52
Speaker 6: there's issues and problems with this situation and every aspect
29:56
Speaker 6: of it when you look at it from outside and
29:58
Speaker 6: then when you're in it on the inside. It's the
30:01
Speaker 6: most traumatizing experience, at least for me and for everyone
30:03
Speaker 6: else that I know has gone through it in my life.
30:07
Speaker 6: You can't take that time back. You only get so
30:09
Speaker 6: much time playing the sport you love. So there's so
30:13
Speaker 6: many problems with it, and the issues are the people
30:16
Speaker 6: that are allowing.
30:16
Speaker 5: It to happen.
30:17
Speaker 6: So that's why I say this win is big, but
30:21
Speaker 6: we still need to hold accountable the people that have
30:24
Speaker 6: allowed this to happen in the first place, the individuals
30:27
Speaker 6: that caused these issues to happen.
30:29
Speaker 4: Period.
30:30
Speaker 2: Any plan on suing the states that are still allowing
30:33
Speaker 2: this to happen based on the Supreme Court decision.
30:37
Speaker 6: Not as of now. I still have my lawsuits that
30:40
Speaker 6: are going on with a bunch of other young women
30:43
Speaker 6: athletes and icons with the Title nine issues at hand
30:47
Speaker 6: that they cross the line protecting these my member women's
30:50
Speaker 6: Title nine rules. So we're working on that right now,
30:54
Speaker 6: which hopefully would make a difference for every state.
30:57
Speaker 2: Now, this is so unfair to women, young girls who've
31:00
Speaker 2: trained since grammar school in different sports and then literally
31:04
Speaker 2: had everything stolen from them because of a bunch of
31:06
Speaker 2: quote unquote do good little white liberals who think that
31:10
Speaker 2: they know best. They tell everybody.
31:12
Speaker 4: I love.
31:12
Speaker 2: I've seen memes online of like white liberal women telling
31:15
Speaker 2: African American men how they should be voting, and it's like,
31:18
Speaker 2: shut up, just shut up and stop with your phony empathy.
31:22
Speaker 2: It's like, be quiet, sit down, stay in your lane.
31:25

Speaker 3: Yes, good morning. You mentioned before about the people that
32:23
Speaker 3: climbed the Empire State Building was subject to radiation dangerous
32:29
Speaker 3: for radiation. How about the people that went up the
32:33
Speaker 3: security people that went up with that arrested them.
32:36
Speaker 2: You're right, and well, yes and no. Here's the difference.
32:39
Speaker 2: They didn't hold on to what's called the master antenna,
32:42
Speaker 2: and they were only there for a little bit of time.
32:45
Speaker 2: They weren't there as long. And I think by that
32:47
Speaker 2: point a lot of the transmitters had lowered the power.
32:49
Speaker 2: From what I'm reading, a lot of the engineers got
32:52
Speaker 2: winned at that point and took the power levels down
32:55
Speaker 2: a little bit. That doesn't mean that they were safe.
32:58
Speaker 2: You're right. They were definitely putting themselves in danger. And
33:01
Speaker 2: that's what our emergency people do, right, They put them
33:03
Speaker 2: their own lives at risk. How many people in nine
33:06
Speaker 2: to eleven went down to the piles thinking that maybe
33:09
Speaker 2: it would be okay, but not caring either way, and
33:12
Speaker 2: many of them died of cancer later because that's what
33:14
Speaker 2: they do. They're just selfless. John, thank you so much
33:18
Speaker 2: for the call. Happy forth to you, my friend. We
33:20
Speaker 2: appreciate you. Good morning, you're on.
33:23
Speaker 4: Look.
33:23
Speaker 2: They just lost it. We had a caller and we
33:25
Speaker 2: just lost the caller. Drop right there. But yeah, just
33:27
Speaker 2: to bring up what John was talking about there on
33:30
Speaker 2: Long Island again, this was yesterday. The couple, the Russian
33:33
Speaker 2: couple from East Orange, New Jersey. Very hot looking by
33:36
Speaker 2: the way, I might say, they're very attractive couple. You know,
33:39
Speaker 2: this was all a big plot to promote their Netflix
33:43
Speaker 2: show that they're going to have. And as Larry was
33:45
Speaker 2: saying this morning, Larry and Curtis was talking about the
33:48
Speaker 2: fact that they had never heard of them before, but
33:50
Speaker 2: now that they've done this stunt and they may want
33:53
Speaker 2: to take a look at it. I don't know about you.
33:55
Speaker 2: I'm terrified of heights and seeing the drone video of
33:59
Speaker 2: the drones around in circles showing all of New York
34:02
Speaker 2: City underneath them. Yesterday, I literally was on the verge
34:05
Speaker 2: of a panic attack because they were not tethered. Not
34:08
Speaker 2: even the engineers who work up there go up there
34:11
Speaker 2: without a tether. These two were not tethered. They didn't
34:14
Speaker 2: have any special equipment. They just climb crazy. Don't ever
34:19
Speaker 2: try that. Ugh, all right, sunny, hot, humid today, high's
34:23
Speaker 2: upper nineties came Rozanto Infra Mark on your Thursday. Coming
34:26
Speaker 2: up later in the show, we'll talk with brand and
34:28
Speaker 2: digital strategist Fisher wall Street issuring Meta's big new push
34:32
Speaker 2: into cloud computing, even as the move could mean lower
34:35
Speaker 2: profit margins. Seven ten WR the Voice of New York
