  Speaker 1: Mark is off on a nice long weekend. Former New
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: York City TV news anchored Ken Rosato reporting for Duty.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: You'd probably best remember me from the twenty years I
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: was privileged to spend doing the morning and the noon
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: show for part of those years on Channel seven. I
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: was at Channel five before then Great Place too, And
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: these days I host a daily show on a New
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Jersey based news channel called On New Jersey. You could
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: stream it live or watch the reruns ATNNJ dot com.

  Speaker 1: I also run a food website for all your foodies.

  Speaker 1: It is called The Food Dude, with links to hundreds
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and thousands actually recipes around the world. It's absolutely free
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and you can find that at Thefooddude dot us. Good
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to be here with you. We got a lot to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: talk about today, but being this is the day after Thanksgiving, man,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: my pants are likely fitting from all all the food
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I ate. I don't know about you, gosh, why is
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: it we only eat stuffing and like cranberry sauce on
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Thanksgiving or even turkey for that matter. This stuff is
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: good but then you get tired of it after like
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: a few days of eating leftovers of it, and then
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you just wait till next year. Anyway, where are you
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: going shopping today? Where you're finding the hot bargains? What's
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: a hot deal you could share? We want to know.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: The phone lines are open. Give us a call, take
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: part in the conversation. One eight hundred three two one
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten. One eight hundred three to two one
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten. I drove in from Jersey this morning
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: into our beautiful midtown Manhattan studios and there was no traffic. Now,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I figured there would be no traffic on the highways
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey, but then coming through the Lincoln Tunnel
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it was nothing. And then in Manhattan. I'm sure this
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: will change through the day, but there was nothing. I
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: made it probably less time than any other time in
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the last year that I've commute commuted here, and I
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: was like, doo, do do do do? Do? What do I
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: do with all this time?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Make some coffee. Let's make more coffee. Maybe a little
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: more coffee. So if I sound like I've had a
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: lot of coffee, you know why. But nonetheless, take your
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: phone calls. At eight hundred and three, two, one zero
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: seven ten. I'm wondering if Black Friday is becoming a
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: thing of yesteryear and everything is just morphing into Cyber Monday,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: because I noticed, you know, in all the years I've
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: worked on Black Friday, and literally for thirty five forty years,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I've always worked on Black Friday. When driving into Channel
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: seven or Channel five, or when even when I worked
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in Miami at CBS four down there, you would pass
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the parking lots of the malls on Black Friday and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: they would be packed like there was no space to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: be had, even at five in the morning. Four in
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the morning today, I noticed the parking lots for forty
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: percent full, fifty percent maybe. So I'm wondering if people
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: are just saying, you know what, why am I getting
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night for that two
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: hundred dollar TV when I could go online Cyber Monday
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: or even a lot of Cyber Monday sales are happening
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: right now and do it on the phone. You know
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: why why am I going to wait online? I know
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: some people like the excitement of going to the mall,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you know that hour and the door as I call them,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the doorbusters, right the doors open, everybody runs in. I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: want that doll, I want that whatever. And it's the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: start of the holiday season, really officially the Christmas and
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Hanukah shopping season. But I think it's just too darn
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: easy to sit at home in your pj's and get
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: on your phone and say, all right, let's buy this,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: let's buy that, right, and just have it delivered to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: your door. We've really become a very comfortable society when
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: it comes to that. And all I can say is,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: every time I see my an Amazon delivery person or
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: a UPS delivery person and I'm driving by, I always
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: pay them the utmost of respect. I stopped my car
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: let them go by, because I know that they are
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: delivering precious cargo to somebody. So once again, one night,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: hundred three to two to one zero seven. Of course,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you probably heard the news by now that one of
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the two National Guard members shot in a targeted ambush
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: near the White House passed away yesterday. Her name, she
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: is a hero. She needs to have her name out there.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Her name Sarah Beckstrom. Now, Sarah was only twenty years old.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: By most definitions, she would be a kid twenty years old.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Yet that kid still decided to protect her country to
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: donna uniform to go out and risk her life, and
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: she volunteered to work for the holiday week so other
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: National guardsmen could be off. Andrew Wolf, the other National
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Guard member, just twenty four, remains in critical condition. Of course,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: he was shot as well. He's fighting for his life,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the president said. And the suspect in this case, he's
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: only twenty nine himself. They're all in their twenties. The
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: suspect twenty nine year old rock Manula lochan wall, an
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Afghan national who lived most recently in Washington State. Now
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: they don't know why he did this. Apparently he drove
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: all the way from Washington State to Washington, d C.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Thirty something hundred miles to shoot these people. It could
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: be just an opportunity thing. It looks like he pulled
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: out his gun, he got out of his vehicle and
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: just as he rounded the corner, the National Guard was there.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: And maybe it triggered him. Because he spent time in
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Afghanistan working for the CIA, he was a trained killer,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: that's what he did. Our CIA helped train him to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: be a killer. His job was to go after Taliban
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and al Qaeda and Islamic State terrorists. And killed them
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: basically if he couldn't take them peacefully, which however, you
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: would do that in a war zone. I don't know.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: He just killed them, So this is he was trained
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to be a killer. Why would you say, oh, this
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: is the perfect person we want to come and become
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: part of our society. I mean, it's hard enough having
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: US citizens who who sacrificed their lives, meaning our soldiers, airmen, marines,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: et cetera, and seamen, et cetera. It's one thing that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: these are US citizens and we task with the duty
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: of going out there to protect us, and they learn things.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: That's why so many soldiers and whatnot. They veterans. They
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: don't want to talk about the horrors of war that
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: they've seen. But it's another thing to then open the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: doors to people we have trained that. It wasn't just
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the US military or trained them, this was the CIA.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, and I can't speak from first
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: at experience, but I can only imagine if you are
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: training someone to kill Taliban and al Qaeda, that it's
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: not a pleasant thing to keep in the back of
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: your mind. If you are that person trained and this
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: person came here was welcomed in by the Biden administration.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Come on in. It was back in twenty twenty or
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, I guess twenty twenty one. The Biden
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: administrations let them in, no big deal, settled them, gave
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: them an apartment two thousand dollars a month apartment in
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a little town in Washington State. And he has a
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: wife and five kids. And they said he worked for Amazon.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I think that might have been a front because they
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: didn't want to say he was an FBI. I'm not FBI.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, a CIA operative at one point, but then
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: he may have snapped. But what do you expect the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: guy to do. He was a trained killer. He was
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: a trained killer. And think about what happened. He comes
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to DC and then he sees soldiers, okay, boom. So
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the point is you don't let someone like this into
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the United States at all. This person had no right
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: being here and the administration, Biden administration, Excuse me? Is
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that cough? Let me just I have to use the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: cough button. Excuse me. That's the first time in a
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: year that I've ever had to hit the cough button.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: There we go. But the Biden administration opened the Floodgates.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Majorcas the head of Homeland Security, lied before Congress time
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: and time again when they asked him about the border
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: being secure. Oh, the border secure, border is secure, And
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: they would do a split screen on Fox and show
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: like one of the Fox reporters down at the border
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: with thousands of people just walking by, like nothing to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: see here, nothing to see here. Meanwhile, Oh, the border
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: is secure. He just lied to Congress over and over again.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: That's a guy that has to be dealt with legally,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and I hope to God at some point he has
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: dealt with legally. So smug, so were a lot of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration people. But anyway, somebody driving by in
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: DC when the shooting occurred had his dash cam going,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I warn you, if you're disturbed by this sound, you
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: might want to just cover your ears for a second.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: But this is the sound this person captured on their
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: dash cam. Five shots. And those shots, it is believed
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: are the shots coming from rock Manula's revolver. He had
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a three point fifty seven revolver, huge bullets, huge bullets,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: and he was very close apparently to the soldiers. He
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: can't just round to the block, and he was maybe
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: fifteen feet when he fired those shots. Very big caliber
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: those of you who know a three fifty seven is
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a big caliber gun. So it is terrifying these people,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: these young men and women, They risk their lives for us.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: And then you have the haters on the left who
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: say they shouldn't be there and whatnot, and that the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: president has no right to call them into duty. Technically
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: that yes, not. Technically absolutely, the president, especially in Washington,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: d C. Which is a federal territory, the president constitutionally,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: along with Congress, are in charge of DC. President can
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: call out the National Guard there any time he wants.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: He can remove the DC Council and the mayor at
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: any point because they are only serving at his privilege
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: or her privilege. If we have a female president. That
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: is a federal territory. That's the way it was set up.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: So if I hear one more person say, oh, there
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: was no right, the National Guard should have never been there,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: you don't know the constitution and you don't know what
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: you're talking about, believe it or not. A National Guard
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: sergeant who heard the commotion ran up to the scene
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: armed with nothing but a pocket knife, and using a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: pocket knife, he waited for rock Manula to reload his gun.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: It was apparently a six shooter, so after firing he
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: had like five shots in. He fired all five at
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the time, he didn't have a six bulletin. Thankfully, this
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: sergeant took him down using a pocket knife. Talk about
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: good training. Rock Manula then got shot by another National
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: guardsman who came and I believe he shot him in
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the leg and the abdomen. So rock Manula is now hospitalized.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: He is expected to survive, and the CIA says this
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: guy worked for them again. They say he worked in
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Afghanistan as part of a national strike unit trained to
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: seize or kill Taliban, al Qaeda, and Islamic State terrorists.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: So it's very likely he may have had PTSD and
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: may have been mentally challenged, but it is no excuse
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: because he still managed to maintain a wife and five kids.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: He was able to get a car, drive it three
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: thousand plus miles to DC and shoot two people, So
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: he may have had sure PTSD. I have no doubt
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: that makes sense that he would have, but he still
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: led his life up to this point, so I don't
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: want to hear as an excuse. Well, you know, he
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: was psychologically challenged and when he had mental issues. You
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: can't know the guy still led a life. Where was
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: his wife during these years saying, you know, my husband's unstable,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: he needs help. Clearly there was something brewing in the
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: back of this man's mind. Bottom line is he should
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: never ever have been allowed into our country, especially after
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: being trained to kill terrorists. Can you imagine what this
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: guy saw or the acts that he may have committed
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: in Afghanistan? Yet Joe Biden dupa dupa dup opened the floodgateswide,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: let anybody who wanted to be here come. So yesterday
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a reporter made the mistake of asking President Trump why
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: he is blaming Biden for the death of this young
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: national guard. It's a long answer, but he starts by
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: calling the reporter stupid. You may think that's a little much,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: but having been a reporter myself and a news anchor
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: for four decades, it was a pretty stupid question on
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: her part. He was President Trump.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Because they let him in. Are you stupid? Are you
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: a stupid person because they came in on a plane
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: along with thousands of other people that shouldn't be here,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: And you're just asking questions because you're a stupid person,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: and there's a law passed that it's almost impossible not
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: to get him out.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: You can't get them out once they come in. And
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: they came in and they were unvetted, they were unchecked.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: There were many of them, and they came in on
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: big planes and it was disgraceful.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: And if you look, you'll see there was a law
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: pass it makes it almost impossible not to let them in,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: not to certify them, so to speak, once they.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Come in and yeah, that was the president yesterday. And
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: this is the problem the way the Democrats have set
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: it up. Each time they come out to office, they
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: pass these little laws that are part of a bigger package.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: So you don't want to not pass the spending plan.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: But online two million, four hundred twenty six three hundred
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: twenty three, there's a little line that says, oh, if
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: somebody is a foreign national and they happen to sneak
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: in the country, you can't let them leave it. They're
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: allowed to stay here. That's the way the Democrats. There's
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: hundreds of little laws like that on the books. And
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: then you get a US District Court judge who tries
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: to overstep their bounds and says no, you can't send
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: them back because of this law and this book and
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: this district, and you can't do it. So as a result,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: we have right now fifty three million people in the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: US who are foreign born, and as many as twenty
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: to thirty million more here illegally that we are. We
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: can guesstimate and you know why we can guesstimate that
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: based on how many kids are in public schools that
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: just popped up out of nowhere and don't speak the language.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: And by the way, we're not only talking Spanish, we're
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: talking from every country on the planet. And for anyone
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: who says you're at direspanic Kenjoe Boiler brought up in
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: ye et fact, I mean a una par de mi
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: familia abienna de baist gavreaon. So don't think that I'm
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: anti Hispanic. Okay, all right, maybe maybe you get the point.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: If this is the case, that means seventy three to
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: eighty three million of our three hundred and forty two
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: million people in the United States are foreign born. That
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: is about one in four. That's crazy. That's crazy. No
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: country on the planet has one in four of the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: people residing they're born elsewhere. Now, most of these folks
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: may be perfectly wonderful. In fact, statistically probably ninety nine
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: percent are awesome people all right, because immigrants did help
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: build this country. There is no question they came legally,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and so the good, hard working, tax paying immigrants, God
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: bless them all. It's wonderful that they are here. But
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: it makes it very hard for people to assimilate and
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: to learn the American way of life if millions come
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: from other cultures at once and predominate entire communities, perfect example, Minnesota.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Like Minneapolis, you have hundreds of thousands of people who
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: just descended on it from Somalia. Now, we used to
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: have limits of how many people come from each country.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Back when my grandparents made their way from Italy, the
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: United States had a cap of at one point of
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: fifty thousand from the whole world to come here. The
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: only people who were allowed to come in in larger
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: numbers was the people from South America. They wanted to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: limit the number of people coming from Europe, and that's
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: what they did, so for years, only fifty thousand people
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: in total could come from anywhere on the planet but
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: South America. And if you came up through South America,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: that you were granted a pass, so to say, But
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: this way people could come into the US and assimilate,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: as opposed to landing in a community and only speaking
• 15:52
