  Speaker 1: Now nine till noon weekdays. The Mark Simone Show on 710WOR.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Guest hosting for Mark today. Here's Ken Rosato. We're going
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to go to our calls in just a second. I
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: just want to point out two things. We've been talking
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: about Maria Bartiromo and Fox. And John Solomon, I'm sure
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: you've seen him on Fox News. He owns Solomon Reports. Well,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: he just texted out, he tweeted or X'd out. that, quote,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the reports that Maria Bartiromo was fired, he put in quotes,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: are not true. She remains under contract with Fox News
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and receiving her pay until 2029. She has been removed
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: from air and won't return, but she continues to remain
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: with Fox at present under the pay or play provision
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of a contract, which is common in television. So, yeah,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we call that the non-compete. So I guess in order
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to keep her away from competitors, they still have her
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: under contract and they continue to pay her her salary
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: until 2029. I don't know that Fox is going to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: want to actually do that the entirety of the time.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: A lot of times they settle for an amount and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: they say, we'll cut ties, we'll give you this flat
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: amount and you go your way and we go our way.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: That's more than likely going to happen because There are
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: all sorts of rumors that she's making anywhere from $ 4
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to $ 8 million a year. And if I'm Fox, do
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I want to keep paying somebody that amount to keep
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: them off the air?
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Depends.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, she is who she is. Maria Bartiromo is amazing.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: But we'll see what happens. That is from one person.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: That's from John Solomon. And one other quick story before
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: we go to our calls. I thought this was interesting.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Would you like to make $ 50 an hour? All right.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: So he's nodding his head. So there is a restaurant.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: in san francisco that is offering 50 an hour for
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: a dishwasher you heard right they're offering 50 this is
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a real story apparently this restaurant can't get somebody to
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: work the 8 p.m to 4 a.m overnight shift on
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the weekends that's how tough it is it is a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: vietnamese restaurant And they are in San Francisco. And I
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: guess the cost of living is so high there, that's
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: what they pay. But they're paying for real. They're looking
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: for somebody who has a little bit of restaurant experience
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: who will be a dishwasher. And because the tech sector
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: has laid off so many people in San Francisco, most
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: of the applicants are people who are like coding experts
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: wanting to come in and make 50 bucks an hour
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: scrubbing dishes. The catch is you have to be able
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to do it faster than the owner. And if you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: look online, he could like scrub 100 dishes in a second.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: So if you could do it faster than him, you
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: come in, you got a $ 50 an hour job. There
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you go.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710, 800-321-0710.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Let us go to Josh in Westchester County. Josh, good morning.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: All right, Ken. And listen, we're glad you're on, filling
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: in for Mark. That's a great duo. It's a tandem,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: a dynamic duo. But the thing is, I'm an old
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Bronx boy, and I think you're an old new Rock
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and Shell guy. I am. Yeah, that's good. It's very,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of similar. A lot of people would
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: move to Yonkers and new Shell from the Bronx. But
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: before I get to Clancy... And what I want to
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: talk about, I want to say something that will lead
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: to Clancy. Like, it was 50 years ago that that maniac,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Son of Sam David Berkowitz, was running around murdering young
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: people in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. And he originally,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: people don't realize this, he originally pleaded insanity. But it
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: was seven months that he was held at a Brooklyn
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: psych ward. And just before they were supposed to go
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: to trial, he changed his plea to guilty so there
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: was no trial. Because he was in that psych ward
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: for seven months, and he really isn't crazy. I mean,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: there is something wrong when we know that. But he
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: knew what he was doing. He wanted no part of
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: a psychiatric ward, and he destroyed those families. David Berkowitz
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: destroyed those families. And the victims of David Berkowitz, the
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: son of Sam, they will always be remembered. He killed
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: some really good young kids. Unfortunately, society, we accept this.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I don't accept it, but people accept this. It just
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: goes on like what happened to the lady Monday at
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Times Square. And getting to Clancy, listen, if she knew...
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: What she was doing, it got told by her husband
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to get out of here, to go to the store,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: to go to the pharmacy and plan this whole thing.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I think she's it's first degree murder. That's what it
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: is to me. But I would have to follow Massachusetts law.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: And there is a legal definition of insanity. And also,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: let's face it, she loses either way because she's going
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: to go into a state jail prison in Massachusetts. And
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: people who hurt children are not welcome in state criminal
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: prisons anymore. And if she goes to a psych ward
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and she's really not that crazy, it's not going to
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: be a comfortable place to be there. But let's hope
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: they keep her there for like three decades. Yeah.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: You know, Josh, can I just, and I'll do a dialogue.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to hang up on you. I just,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the one thing that comes to mind, though, is the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: fact that she tried to kill herself suggests the mental
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: instability there. So, yeah, you know, maybe you could say, well,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: it was after the fact. You know, here she already
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: killed her children. She saw what now she was facing.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: So now she attempted. So that's the only thing for
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: me that suggests the mental instability. That does not, in
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: my mind, though, condone you from killing the children. But
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I do believe that there was mental instability there of
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: some kind. And we had the caller earlier from the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Carolinas who was saying, I believe her name was Kathy,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: who was saying that it is possible to be mentally
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: unstable even when making a decision to send your husband
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to do whatever, that you can be. But again, even
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: she said that she deserves manslaughter. So Where would you
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: come down? What do you think it's going to end up?
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Again, I would have to follow Massachusetts state criminal law
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: because every 50 states are all different, plus the commonwealth.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: But the thing is, the problem I have is if
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: she knew what she was doing and she killed the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: baby last because she knew one of the two older
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: ones might have been able to run out and start
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: screaming and draw attention to this, all right? Right. So
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I have to sit on it. But to me, it
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: looks like if it's a murder convict, it's first degree
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: because she planned the whole thing out, getting the guy
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: out of the house. And she was also going to
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: her phone, seeing what the distance was to that restaurant
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: that they never used, which was further away from the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: one they usually.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Use to take out. We got breaking news. Mistrial declared
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: in Lindsay Clancy trial just came out.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: fox news is saying jury deadlocked ms now is saying
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: mistrial declared so all right we will get uh... and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: yeah and cnn now saying clancy judge will declare mistrial
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: giving defense one hour to appeal for stay so there
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: you go we'll see where so this is may have
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: to do it all over again we'll see where that
