Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy suggests that more casual attire at airports could foster greater mutual respect among passengers. Many agree with his viewpoint. Ken takes your calls! Ken interviews Financial Strategist Ron Glasnow. Ron discusses how consumers are preparing for Black Friday for shopping amid rising holiday prices. He shares practical budgeting strategies, such as setting strict budgets and focusing on essential purchases. In addition, tariffs being part of the economic policies are adding to consumer uncertainty. Both Ken and Ron emphasize the importance of patience in the coming months as the longer-term effects on consumers and the market unfold.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now the Mark Simone Show on seven ten woor filling
in for Mark.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Here's Ken Rosatto oh Man, Ohman. The day before the
big feast. Mark is off at a long weekend. Good
for him. Former New York City TV news anchor Ken
Rosatto reporting for duty. And you'll probably best remember me.
I did twenty years, twenty years having a great time
anchoring the Morning show Channel seven here in New York.
Before that, I was on the Morning Show Channel five.
(00:27):
And these days I host a daily show on a
New Jersey based news channel. It's called on New Jersey
ONANJ dot com. You could stream it live anywhere in
the country. It's New Jersey focus, but it has all
the Tri state stuff TOONJ dot com. I'm on every
day there, and I run a food website for all
you foodies called the Food Dude. Thefooddude dot us check
(00:52):
it out. Hundreds of free recipes that I put on there,
in thousands or hundreds of thousands actually from all over
the world. And we've got a lot to talk about today.
But being this is the day before thanks to Giving,
I'm not only a guy who does news and politics
but also food. Because of the Food Dude so feel
free to talk Thanksgiving. We don't have to keep this
a hardcore political show. I know Marcus like saying, oh, Ken,
(01:15):
keep it on, keep it on, politics, Mark, Mark, you
enjoy your day off. I'm going to welcome in some
calls about Thanksgiving, turkey, stresses around the holiday table, politics
and family. Whatever you want, open it up here. Eight
hundred and three two one zero seven ten. Do you
have a cool recipe you want to share, because I'm
going to talk about them. We want to hear about it.
(01:36):
What about your family traditions at Thanksgiving? Do you always
just have a turkey or do you have a turkey
and something else or something instead of a turkey? You know,
being an Italian American, we always have you have to
have lasagna. It's just lasagna is a man made turkey. Okay,
it's sort of constructed frank in parts and there you
(01:57):
get a lasagna. So but we always have a you know,
you have alasagnia, then you have the turkey if you
have room for turkey. But tell us what you think
and what your family tradition is. I know a lot
of folks do mac and cheese. We heard that earlier
on MENTI in the Morning eight hundred and three to two,
one zero seven to ten. Well Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy
ticked off some people while getting cheers from a lot
(02:19):
of others, including me. Don't know if you heard him,
but he asked people to consider dressing a little more
appropriately when taking flights.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
People dress up.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Like they're going to bed when they fly.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
You know, I see people getting on airplanes and they're
having a hard time taking their.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Luggage and getting in in the oversize or above band.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Help people out, be nice, be courteous, and so we
want to push people as we come into a really
bad busy travel season, help people out, be in a
good mood, dress up, bring civility back to travel, and
I think everyone's experience is going to be that much better.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
And he's right. I fly every couple of weeks because
I live equally between New Jersey and Lauderdale, and I
go back and forth, and depending on the time of
my flight, I cannot tell you how many people I
see boarding the plane looking like they literally roll out
of bed and intend to go back to bed when
they got on the flight. Dirty hoodies, dirty sweats, They
(03:18):
literally look half asleep. Their hair is a mess. Maybe
they didn't brush your teeth. I know, I'm sorry to
be gross. Like I usually catch the first fly out
flight out from a Newark Airport, and so it is.
You know, it's possible people rolled out of bed at
three am. They got their five am for the first
flight and they didn't brush your teeth or whatever. It's gross.
It's gross you were in public around other people. But
(03:39):
I know the attitude today from so many is I
don't care what people think. Okay, it's not about that.
Have a little self pride. How about that you want
to be seen looking disgusting and having people kind of
it's just nasty. I've seen people the minute they get
on the plane, they get down to their socks or
bare feet. That grosses me out because then they walk
(04:00):
to the to the lavatory barefooted. You know, when you
walk into a bathroom on a plane, it's all sticky
with urine that splashes, and it's nasty. You want your
bare feet to touch that. I've watched them sit on
their bare feet where they get especially young ladies, they
kind of sit on their feet on their chair, on
their seat, and so they got their bare feet and
(04:21):
they're touching their bare feet. I'm sorry to be on
the foot thing, but it's like now you're going to
touch other things and shake people's hands and stuff. No, no,
learn a little, learn a little decorum. And then the
grossest was about six months ago when I saw this guy,
not kidding, clipping toenails in their seats. I know, I'm
is he Your engineers looking at me like, shut up,
(04:42):
ors out of change it, change it. I'm telling you
it's nasty. I've seen people change their baby diapers on
the pull down table. That's where someone's going to put
their food the next flight. So all I'm saying is,
like Sean Duffy said, and he didn't get into this
gross detail, try to act more civilized. That's all. Just
a little more civil lies in society. Think of other people.
Would you like to sit down at a seat where
(05:05):
somebody else had their bare feet? So then don't do it.
To the next guy, call and share. Maybe you have
a nicer story than that. Eight Edward three two one
zero seven ten. This is seven ten w R. The
Voice of New York Ken Rosotto Infra Mark. Well, I'm
sure you heard by now about US District Judge Cameron
McCowan Curry, the radical leftist activist Biden appointee who threw
(05:28):
out the James Comy and Letitia James indictments. Her argument
was that the prosecutor was no longer legally in power
as a prosecutor, so the cases had to be dismissed
on a technicality. So immediately tiss James and James Comy
took victory laps. All arrogant and the ms now types,
all the liberals with the with the you know, the
(05:51):
ear rings through their nose and the pink hair looking
like five hundred pounds like they're on their last breath.
Maybe they maybe they should rethink their joy because the
cases were dismissed without prejudice. Listen to the law professor
Jonathan Turley, listened to what he had to say.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Letitia James took a bit of a victory lap after
this decision, and I think she missed the two words
that followed dismissal. And there was dismissal without prejudice. So
the Trump administration, even if they lose on appeal, could
seek out a new indictment. This is not over for James,
or call me. The judge specifically said, I am not
(06:35):
going to grant your motion to dismiss with prejudice. I'm
going to allow them to cure this problem.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
So what that means is it's going to take time,
but the government's going to come back after them. If
call me and James want to ensure the charges will
be refiled, keep gloating, keep gloating. That will ensure that
you will go back to court and next time every
I will be dotted and T will be crossed. So
the Trump administration and plans to first appeal the activist
(07:02):
judges decision to the Fourth US Circuit Court of Appeals
that's in Richmond, Virginia. That used to be considered kind
of a conservative stalwart court, but in recent years it
shifted a little more left. So they have a shot
at that. If that doesn't work, they will refile the
charges and this time they'll do it with a different
prosecutor and it will go through because the case is Look,
(07:25):
you're innocent until proven guilty. But certainly the case against
Letitia James. You have documents that she signed that it
was unquestionable. I mean Mark was talking about this yesterday.
I heard him talking about it yesterday. You signed a
document that says you live full time in a residence
in Virginia, and that gives you a lower interest rate
on your mortgage. That's a federal crime. And you get
(07:48):
a lower insurance rate, and you get lower taxes from
the local municipality in the state. So now you are
lying to three institutions using a federal instrument, and you
are the Attorney general of the state of New York.
You're not just some average schmo. So you know how
to read a contract? Okay, how do you defend yourself
(08:08):
against that? And on top of that, to become the
Attorney General of New York you have to live in
New York. So how could you have Virginia as not
a residence but your primary residence? So I'd like to
hear you know. Instead, what Letitia James immediately does is says,
this is a Republican trick and a conspiracy. No, just
answer the question did you sign that document? And if
(08:30):
you did so, why, and then how about the other
documents at the other houses. She has all the other
houses she allegedly did the same thing in So you
have to scratch your head and say, you are the
attorney general at the very least you should you should
be at a level playing field with everybody else. She's
trying to be above the law here. And remember the
Democrats kept saying about Trump. No one is above the law.
(08:51):
Seven ten wr the Voice of New York. This is
Ken Risotto in for the wonderful Mark Simone and enjoying
his day off. And in New Jersey, my beloved state
of New Jersey. New Jersey lawmakers have introduced a bill
that would ban ice agents and other law enforcement who
interact with the public from wearing masks or what they
(09:12):
call disguises. The bill would still allow undercover officers and
those wearing shields and don't cover their faces. If the
shields don't cover their faces or medical masks that's permitted.
Violators could face fines of up to one thousand dollars
and they could get up to six months in jail.
Senator Benji Wimberley, I love it. Listen, don't name your
(09:33):
kid Benji, because your kid's going to grow up to
be an adult male. And how would you like to
be fifty five years old? And people say, hey, Benji,
it's just not an adult name. Just think about that,
you know, I'm just saying, But Senator Benji Wimberly said
that he's concerned that masked officers might intimidate immigrant communities,
and he said that criminals could impersonate ICE agents. Okay, really,
(09:57):
then here's what I would say to the ICE eye
ICE senior officers. Tell everybody that the officers are wearing
medical masks. And in that case, then you can't say
that they're violating local law. But more important than that, technically,
because these are not technically in actuality, because they are
(10:18):
federal agents. And we have something called the supremacy Clause
in the Constitution. The state or local governments can enact
all the laws they want. They do not apply to
a federal agent. As long as a federal agent is
following the orders and following federal law, you can pass
all the local laws you want. And if you try
to touch that ICE agent, you will have your ass
(10:39):
holed into jail yourself. So I guarantee I know a
lot of New Jersey State Police officers, I mean a lot,
and they would not follow that order. You know how
the little Cadra of elected officials put out that internet
meme in the last week saying if you are a
member of the military, you do not have to follow
(11:00):
illegal orders. Well, I say the same thing now to
the New Jersey State Police, and I don't have to
because they're well aware of it. If New Jersey's legislature,
which is all far left, radical leftist liberals, if they
enact a passive bill and the governor, the new governor,
Governor Mikey, if they sign that into law and it
(11:20):
says that you must arrest an ice agent wearing a mask,
I guarantee those state police will say, uh no, no,
you go ahead and arrest them yourself. Senator, I'm not
going to arrest them because they know that under the
supremacy Clause of the Constitution, you, as a state police
officer in New Jersey, could be hauled up against the
wall and have your butt cuffed and taken to federal
(11:42):
prison if you try to stop a federal agent from
doing their job. Just a fact. If you doubt me,
or if you have an alternate opinion, try and debate it.
Go ahead, and I'll cite you the Constitution. In fact,
let's just do it right now, save you the time. Okay.
It's a direct violation of Article six, paragraph two US Constitution,
which has quote a state or municipality cannot pass a
(12:04):
law that interferes with the execution of federal law or
the duties of federal agents. So maybe the good state
senators missed that day in school in New Jersey. In
our eleven o'clock hour, we will speak to congressional candidate
Billy Prempe, he is a Republican running for Congress in
New Jersey's ninth congressional district, about the foolishness of states
(12:25):
or local municipalities trying to pass what are obviously symbolic
laws that cannot be enforced. Seven ten wore the voice
of New York Ken Rosanto in from Mark the day
before thanks a Giving. Oh man, do I love Thanksgiving?
By the way, here, I remember I told you I
was going to talk about food. For a second, I'll
talk about food. I used to work with the beautiful
(12:49):
and awesome Laurie Stokes at Channel seven. Remember Laurie. She is,
by the way, off air, as nice and as beautiful
as on air. She's one of my closest friends in
the world. And Laurie is the type person if I
don't talk to her in a year, which isn't the case,
but if I don't talk to her in a year
and then I talk to her. It's like we've been
(13:10):
talking every day. Just a great lady. She is also
one of the best darn cooks you'll ever encounter. The
food of if you ever find yourself in that situation,
it's delicious. She taught me a recipe for stuffing that
kicks a button. I'm gonna talk about it through the
show a little bit, but I got to share that.
In fact, it was on my show that I do
in New Jersey. We taped it yesterday so I could
(13:32):
put it on the ear and still come here. But
the key is layers of flavor. And Laurie takes She
takes three types of breads. She would take like rye
bread sour dough, and like a whole grain chunk type
it in type, cut it into chunks, toasted off with
herbs like fresh stage tons of fresh rosemary and a
(13:55):
little melted butter. Toasts that in the oven and then
put that in a bowl and add to that some
sauteed onions with garlic, a splash of a stock that's reduced,
and then bake that off in the oven with more
butter and more herbs. I'm telling you it's crazy, But
what she does is instead of adding sausage, she takes
dark meat like chicken thigh meat and shreds that and
(14:17):
puts that in. Because you're in the poultry theme, you
roast that off in the oven, or bake that off
in the oven and serve that. I'm telling you it's
the best darned stuffing. Somebody wants more, a more detailed recipe,
you could reach out to me on Instagram find my
Instagram account Ken Rosotto on Instagram there and you'll you'll
see that. Or on Facebook. I'm Ken Rosotto on Facebook too,
(14:39):
and I will give you this specific recipe.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
But it is good.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Seven ten w o R the Voice of New York Again.
It's Ken Rosotto in for Mark on your Wednesday ten
twenty is our time right now and again when we
come up come back in just a moment. We want
to take your calls. It's eight hundred three to two
one zero seven ten eight hundred three to two one
zero seven seven ten WR.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
This is the Mark Simone Show on seven ten WR.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Ken from today, Here's Ken Rosotto.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Had a very good Wednesday the day before. We go
straight to our busy phones and here's the man who
sets off my holiday perfectly. Vincent from Brooklyn.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Good morning, Vincent, Good morning Ken and bonifesta do ringraciamento day,
Hey on the tour for me.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Thank you and you's a for translation. Happy Thanksgiving to
you and your family. Thank you and.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Santius exactly Ken. Ken. Also, they didn't even I don't
know if they filed the case in New York against
for Tisha James. But she has a five family house
here and she listed it in the fourth family house
and that goes against the rules of building registration, which
she just had to, like I had to fill out
(15:53):
and have submitted by the end of August. Now coming
up next week is the bedbug registration. You have to
submit that your apartments either did and you had the
problem fixed or never did have bad bugs, and you
have to sign that doc. You have to go online
(16:14):
and electronically sign that document and resubmitted to the city.
That's next week, So she's on. She could get her
easily in trouble in New York if yeah decide to
pursue it is.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And also in Massachusetts. Remember she has another one in Massachusetts.
She's got homes all over the place, and I think
that's listed as a second home. You could do that
as a second home, that's okay. But I think in
Massachusetts she may and this is I don't know for sure,
but I believe she was renting that out. Now the
question is did she pay her income tax? She may have,
(16:46):
I don't know. I'm asking did she pay her income
tax on rent from that home or did she list
it just as a second home for herself? But she
is allegedly renting that out. So there are a lot
of questions here. And if you're going to be the
chief law enforcement officer of this to New York, you
better follow the law yourself exactly.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
And there's I don't know how you get around here
in New York. How you get around, say in an
apartment on the building only has four units when it
has five. Because also when you fill out your insurance,
when you have to buy your insurance, whether you buy
it every year or every three years like some people do,
(17:25):
because if you buy it all at once for three years,
you got to get a break on the rate because
you got to pay up all at once. You still
have to put down And she also be maybe liabel
for insurance.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Right because if you say that it's your personal residence
as opposed to a residence you're renting out. You get
different rates, and you also pay different rates in taxes
in some communities.
Speaker 6 (17:46):
So that but here's the thing. Can you also you're
lying because it has four units and it has five units,
and you're telling the insurance company it has four So
there's a a liability on you on their pot because
it has five units, and you're lessening the liability by
(18:07):
life it's say hated as.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
There's no question. Look, there's no question. There was some
some dancing around fact.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
The issue is she's she's going to try to make
the argument. I'm sure that it was the attorney that
did this. But you are the attorney general. You are
an attorney, so you should know better. You should double
and triple check anything before you sign it. If you're
going to be in public office.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Ken On all of the building registrations, it says, are
you an agent for the landlord? Meanwhile you a rental
agent like a big real estate company, right, and if
you are, you still have to have the landlord sign
the official document.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Hey, Vincent, get out of it. If you did it,
you would be in jail in a heart right now.
You would be we'd be calling you and you'd be
as a hey, I only got two more minutes left
in two quarters. That's that's what would be the case.
So you know that we would be treated quite differently.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
Unfortunately, so she has the legal slush fund here that
Katy Huckel set up for her of ten million dollars
that she could tap into, which we would never have
the advantage of something like that. And unfortunately all of
us New Yorkers are on the hook for her for
her bill.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
That's why I live in New Jersey. Vincent, you are
the best, my friend. Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you are.
Do you By the way, I gotta quickly ask, do
you guys do a pasta with your turkey?
Speaker 7 (19:30):
No?
Speaker 6 (19:31):
Just only when my grandfather used to come home, because
he would he would he would do we'd have a
Losignia and turkey. No, I just do I just do
a turkey.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You're you're an a medi guan. You're in a medigan all.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Over Tomorrow night, Tomorrow night, I'll probably I'll leave pasta,
well maybe tonight. I'll see maybe tonight and Friday night
I'll leave pasta.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
There you go, listen, enjoy it, have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
We will talk to you. I'm back on Friday for
bar to So what do you hear out? All one?
Speaker 6 (20:01):
All right?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
You thank you, sir, oh Man, I love talking Vincent
and and robbed you too, and Franklin score Happy Thanksgiving?
How are you, sir?
Speaker 8 (20:11):
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Ken and you and your family.
You know, uh you and uh and and uh Laurie
you had you It was it was great listening to you.
I listened as a retired transit cup. I listened to
you guys when you're on in mid day.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
The thing is with with the cases with Tommy and
and and Letitia.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Uh they're both guilty.
Speaker 8 (20:36):
But the thing is like Pam Bondy was against uh
uh prosecuting call me.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
I mean she did.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
She thought it was a weak case. She she had
the assistant, her assistant d A. He didn't he uh
didn't want to, you know, file charges. And then when
the time was running out, what did they ext What
did Trump expect? I was a real estate uh attorney
to to you know, and the time was running out.
You can you can indict a ham sandwich and uh
(21:05):
what and Ady McCarty said on Fox about two months
ago he said, this case will never go against Tom,
will never go to trut.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Let me say this, if I may rub only only
a couple of things. Number One, I think part of
the punishment is this. You know they knew. I think
deep down this wasn't going to go very far. But
they want to bankrupt the guy. Let's make his life hell.
See the difference. When they did this to Trump, he
had five billion in the bank, So I lose half
a billion. What's a big deal when you do it
to Komy. Now, I granted he probably has a lot
of money stashed here and there, but he probably will
(21:35):
lose that money in defending himself. So I think that's part.
If they want to make it as painful in existence
as possible, let him have some sleepless nights after what
he put other people through. And I'm sure that is
the punishment in the back of their minds. In terms
of indicting a ham Sandwich, though, if you look at
the district where it was done, yes and no. I
mean you never can tell with a grand jury. I've
seen Steff where you say grand Juri will never indict
(21:56):
and they indict, and other cases where you say this
is a slam dunk, and they don't so you never
really know, but we'll see what happens. Look, they're gonna appeal,
and if the appeal doesn't work, they will refile charges that.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
It makes a lot of sense what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
More importantly, though, what are you doing for Thanksgiving?
Speaker 9 (22:13):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
And what does your family?
Speaker 8 (22:14):
My sister, my sister has us over my You know,
a lot of relatives are no longer with us, but
my sister, my brother and sister in law. She cooks
turkey and pasta.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
There you go.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
We're Irish, mostly Irish, little German. But you know we're
into the pasta with the turkey.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Down with him. By the way, my friends, I'm not
kidding about this, and I mean no insult to my family.
I had my one of my dearest friends growing up.
His name is Bill Dirton Gerald, give me a shot out.
His dad Irish and German. His dad used to make
the best damn pasta and pasta sauce ever ever, and
I used to love and yet he never ate it himself.
He didn't like pasta, but he may nobody's business. Something
(22:51):
about following the rules and the and the anyway, just delicious.
He's out there listening right now. So I give a
shout out to mister Dirtinger.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
God, God bless your canon, and thanks for bringing up
boy's name. You know, yeah, I just saw you guys
were great. You guys were great together on the news.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Bill.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Bill Evans had us all out in the Hamptons a
couple of weeks ago, so I was at with her
and we had a good time. It was nice to
see her again. And Rob, you have a happy Thanksgiving,
my friend. Thanks for checking in all right. Seven to
ten WR the Voice of New York. This is Ken Rosotto,
win from Mark the day before Thanksgiving. A little bit
later we'll speak with financial expert Ron Glasgow about how
Americans planned to spend their money this Black Friday. At
(23:28):
least one survey suggests people plan to spend less this
year than last.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Now more of the Mark Simone Show on seven to
ten wo R fulling in for Mark.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Here again is Ken Rosatto.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
And good to be with you on the Wednesday before
Thanksgiving and Mark has enjoined a nice long weekend.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
New data from Deloitte shows that Americans are planning on
spending less this Black Friday. Than in years past. It's
a reversal from tradition. Financial expert Ron Glasgow is here
to talk about some possible reasons why and what MA
way you want to do to ensure that we have
our budgets done to control in twenty twenty six. Good morning,
Ron Glasgow, Good morning. How are you good? Very good?
(24:09):
Happy Thanksgiving in a little early So this Deloitte data
should be a little concerning, right does it suggest a
contraction of economy? The economy could be on the way.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Yeah, I think it makes that suggestion. And I always
say you never want to look at any one article.
You want to look at a spattering. But you know,
article after article shows that consumer confidence is really down,
probably for the lowest sense three or four years ago,
when interest rates were really spiking. So, you know, to me,
it just feels like we've been on this bull market
for so long. You know, stocks are at all time high,
(24:42):
golden at all time high, everything's sort of it at
all time high, and you know, nothing goes up forever.
So to me, it kind of feels like a jack
in the box. And you know, every quarter that goes
by when we have these new highs, it's kind of
turning that crank a quarter of a turn and sooner
or later that Jackson to come out of the box.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah, like musical chairs, music stops. No extra chair. Sorry.
The data is showing now that people who make under
fifty thousand a year plan on scaling back spending like
twelve percent. People who weren't over two hundred thousand plan
on cutting back eighteen percent. That shocked me because I
thought the people who made over two hundred thousand, well,
they'll make it up. Yeah, they'll be spending more money.
So is it just that people don't feel secure now
(25:20):
overall about what's coming up in the next couple of quarters.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Yeah, I think that's really it. You know, the markets
hate uncertainty, and there's quite a bit of that right now.
But just everyday people, you know, I'm pretty plugged into
my community and it's a fairly well to do community,
and people are, you know, concerned about prices. You know,
I did a podcast a while ago and on that
particular day, inflation came in at three percent instead of
(25:45):
three point one, and the markets in are all time high.
Well that's great for eggheads like me, but for everyday
people it doesn't matter, you know, it's you have this
massive run up in inflation. So now this set are control,
it doesn't mean that prices dial back. People were just
still gaining at a reasonable pace on top of that
massive jump, and that's very difficult to deal with.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yeah, I mean, I've heard some people say that. In fact,
Sean Hennedy was talking about this the other night. He said, look,
it's going to take until at least the middle of
next year before you see some of the changes that
were enacted by the Trump administration in terms of positively
affecting the economy. And then, if you know, you're maybe
too young to remember this, I'm fifty eight. Back in
(26:26):
the Reagan days, everybody said, oh, look it's Reagonomics isn't working.
It's a big failure. It took till two years, and
at two years, all of a sudden the economy flips.
Because in the late seventies we had total malaise. It
was a horrible economy, and people thought that was the
new normal. But it shifted. Nineteen eighty two to nineteen
eighty eight, the economy was gangbusters. So do we just
(26:48):
have to be patient or do you think this might
be kind of a long term deal. To deal with.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
Yeah, you know, I do think that we need to
be patient, and that's one thing Americans just aren't very
good at.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
You know.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
You know, you people like love to throw darts at
President Trump, and I get it. The guy's a lightning
rod more than any other president I've ever seen in
my lifetime. And I do remember the great round of
Riggan by the way, Yes, but but uh, you know,
he's the lightning rod. So he's gonna get his share
of criticism and his followers are gonna love what he says.
But you know, the things you do with tariffs. You know,
I grew up with a steel mill town, and I
(27:22):
know that the Chinese would take advantage of us in
the seventies. So it's good he's doing some things. I
think what makes people nervous is is sort of this
back and forth. You know, we're gonna at tax Brazil
on coffee. We're gonna tax Vietnam on coffee. Now we're
gonna take that away. So but that's his style. You know,
the guy gets results and that's just the way he works.
That just unsettling to some people. But yes, I think
(27:44):
patients is key, and don't be afraid for the market
to pull back. That's a very normal thing. You know,
earlier this year we had one, and man, you just
before we were in the middle of a great recession again.
People are kind of freaking out, and you know, you've
got to uh manager savings your investments for sort of
an all weather portfolio and anticipate those pullbacks because they
do occur.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
I think Trump is doing kind of a ropidope. You know,
he confuses you, he makes you look over here, and
then he does something on the other side. He really
is the kind of guy people, you know, many on
the left call him nuts, they call him he's losing it.
I think he is genius on a level that we
don't understand, and he plays chess on such a level
that we can't comprehend. And I just really do think
(28:28):
that what we look at as confusion or as lack
of planning is very planned on his part.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
You know, clearly he's much moreter than I am. You know,
I'm a former marine. I could barely play checkers, let alone,
so he's got me.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I can't even play checkers. So there.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
You know. Another guy that reminds me of is Jim Harbaugh,
the football you know, supposedly he thrives on a chaotic
environment and that's how he coaches and very successful. It's rare,
but it works for certain people.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Absolutely.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
Well.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Look, the only thing that really concerns me, I'm sure
if you're you clearly know, but better than the economy.
Better on the economy than me. Consumer spending accounts for
seventy percent of the GDP, and so how will a
possible downswing of four percent and spending impact our gross
domestic product?
Speaker 7 (29:17):
Yeah, and you know, I can't do the calculations on
the fly, but that is a massive concern. America's business
is business, and so when people stop spending and doing business,
it kind of has an avalanche effect. So that's the
real concern, is that people stop, and you know, I
think you're going to see it slow just because people
are starting to run out of money.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
You know.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Something that is a little silly, but it comes to mind,
is if you remember the subway commercial five five dollars
foot long. I don't know how long ago that was,
but it wasn't very long.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
You know.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
I had to have my oil changed a couple of
weeks ago, and I stopped it in the subway for
the first time in a long time, the cheapest sub
on the Mediu was a Vegie sub at ten dollars
and twenty cents. Yeah, so again, I can't remember exactly
when that jingle stopped, but I know no one's income
is doubled in that time.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
You know what I just went for? Listen. I never
went for a fancy haircut in my whole life, honestly.
I mean even when I was a news anchor over
at over at Channel seven here in New York, I
always went to supercuts. I'm sorry, people are gonna laugh.
They tease me all the time. Oh, you must go
to one of those fancy French places. Now I go
to Sue I call it supe coup. I go to
the supercou. It used to be like twelve ninety five.
(30:21):
It's twenty six dollars and you could go to a
barber and spend less. Now it seems than it's some supercuts.
It's just amazing. And yes, like you said, in a year,
it jumped from like seventeen or whatever to twenty six.
It's amazing. What's happening to with inflation right now? So
it's a little unnerving, I'm sure. So what's a website
for people to read more about you. Ron.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
Oh sure, Glasgow Investments dot com Glasgow like the City
of Scotland Investments dot com.

to ten wr coming right back.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
This is the Mark Simone Show on seven ten wr
Ben from Mark.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Today, here's Ken Rosatto.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And straight to our busy phones. On this Wednesday, yes,
even the day before Thanksgiving, we go to Robert in Westchester.
Good morning Robert, Good morning Ken.
Speaker 9 (31:55):
How are you in? Happy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Happy Thanksgiving? What going do for Robert?
Speaker 9 (32:03):
This is my problem with the Democrats and especially the
people that vote for them. For four years, they lied
to the entire nation about immigration and the border. For
four years we had the barbarian hordes stampede our country.
And now every taxpayer is afflicted with having to use
(32:24):
their tax dollars not only to get these people out
who are the criminals and the people who broke the law,
but also to feed them, house them, give them medical
attention and aid. So now when they think about voting
next year for the interms, think about what the Democrats
tagged you with. Don't just think of the present, but
(32:46):
think of the future and the past and what they
had done to all of us, because they lied to
you before and they will lie to you again. Just
to do one thing a chief power impeach Trump was
doing gangbusters. He's done more for not only our nation
but the world in ten months. Good that Ken, I
(33:07):
wish you just all the best in By the way,
I will be having palpit tomorrow.

My father, but the.
Speaker 9 (33:13):
Turkey's primary yes on Americano Americano first.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I'm with you too. Thank you Ken, Thank dear Robert.
Happy Thanksgiving, Yain. It's funny Robert says that I remember
asking my grandfather from who was born in Italy, my
father's both both my grandparents. I remember asking my father's
father what would happen I was four, what would happen
if we ever went to war with Italy? And he
put his finger in my face and says, you are
an American. If we ever went to war with Italy,
you are an American. You fight for America because you
(33:41):
are an American. You are not an Italian. You may
come from the extraction of Italy, but you are an American.
I never forgot that America first. There you have, and
I'm with him. It is ten fifty nine right now,
mostly cloudy mile today, high's low sixties and partly cloudy
tomorrow for Thanksgiving windy and cooler, high's low forties' Is
that on from Mark on your Wednesday? Coming up a
little later, we'll talk with New Jersey Republican congressional candidate
(34:04):
Billy Prempa about the Garden state's new bill to make
it illegal for ice agents to wear masks. W Oar
is the voice of New York back after the news
Now the Mark Simone Show on seven ten woor filling
in for Mark.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Here's Ken Rosatto oh Man, Ohman. The day before the
big feast. Mark is off at a long weekend. Good
for him. Former New York City TV news anchor Ken
Rosatto reporting for duty. And you'll probably best remember me.
I did twenty years, twenty years having a great time
anchoring the Morning show Channel seven here in New York.
Before that, I was on the Morning Show Channel five.
(00:27):
And these days I host a daily show on a
New Jersey based news channel. It's called on New Jersey
ONANJ dot com. You could stream it live anywhere in
the country. It's New Jersey focus, but it has all
the Tri state stuff TOONJ dot com. I'm on every
day there, and I run a food website for all
you foodies called the Food Dude. Thefooddude dot us check
(00:52):
it out. Hundreds of free recipes that I put on there,
in thousands or hundreds of thousands actually from all over
the world. And we've got a lot to talk about today.
But being this is the day before thanks to Giving,
I'm not only a guy who does news and politics
but also food. Because of the Food Dude so feel
free to talk Thanksgiving. We don't have to keep this
a hardcore political show. I know Marcus like saying, oh, Ken,
(01:15):
keep it on, keep it on, politics, Mark, Mark, you
enjoy your day off. I'm going to welcome in some
calls about Thanksgiving, turkey, stresses around the holiday table, politics
and family. Whatever you want, open it up here. Eight
hundred and three two one zero seven ten. Do you
have a cool recipe you want to share, because I'm
going to talk about them. We want to hear about it.
(01:36):
What about your family traditions at Thanksgiving? Do you always
just have a turkey or do you have a turkey
and something else or something instead of a turkey? You know,
being an Italian American, we always have you have to
have lasagna. It's just lasagna is a man made turkey. Okay,
it's sort of constructed frank in parts and there you
(01:57):
get a lasagna. So but we always have a you know,
you have alasagnia, then you have the turkey if you
have room for turkey. But tell us what you think
and what your family tradition is. I know a lot
of folks do mac and cheese. We heard that earlier
on MENTI in the Morning eight hundred and three to two,
one zero seven to ten. Well Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy
ticked off some people while getting cheers from a lot
(02:19):
of others, including me. Don't know if you heard him,
but he asked people to consider dressing a little more
appropriately when taking flights.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
People dress up.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Like they're going to bed when they fly.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
You know, I see people getting on airplanes and they're
having a hard time taking their.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Luggage and getting in in the oversize or above band.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Help people out, be nice, be courteous, and so we
want to push people as we come into a really
bad busy travel season, help people out, be in a
good mood, dress up, bring civility back to travel, and
I think everyone's experience is going to be that much better.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
And he's right. I fly every couple of weeks because
I live equally between New Jersey and Lauderdale, and I
go back and forth, and depending on the time of
my flight, I cannot tell you how many people I
see boarding the plane looking like they literally roll out
of bed and intend to go back to bed when
they got on the flight. Dirty hoodies, dirty sweats, They
(03:18):
literally look half asleep. Their hair is a mess. Maybe
they didn't brush your teeth. I know, I'm sorry to
be gross. Like I usually catch the first fly out
flight out from a Newark Airport, and so it is.
You know, it's possible people rolled out of bed at
three am. They got their five am for the first
flight and they didn't brush your teeth or whatever. It's gross.
It's gross you were in public around other people. But
(03:39):
I know the attitude today from so many is I
don't care what people think. Okay, it's not about that.
Have a little self pride. How about that you want
to be seen looking disgusting and having people kind of
it's just nasty. I've seen people the minute they get
on the plane, they get down to their socks or
bare feet. That grosses me out because then they walk
(04:00):
to the to the lavatory barefooted. You know, when you
walk into a bathroom on a plane, it's all sticky
with urine that splashes, and it's nasty. You want your
bare feet to touch that. I've watched them sit on
their bare feet where they get especially young ladies, they
kind of sit on their feet on their chair, on
their seat, and so they got their bare feet and
(04:21):
they're touching their bare feet. I'm sorry to be on
the foot thing, but it's like now you're going to
touch other things and shake people's hands and stuff. No, no,
learn a little, learn a little decorum. And then the
grossest was about six months ago when I saw this guy,
not kidding, clipping toenails in their seats. I know, I'm
is he Your engineers looking at me like, shut up,
(04:42):
ors out of change it, change it. I'm telling you
it's nasty. I've seen people change their baby diapers on
the pull down table. That's where someone's going to put
their food the next flight. So all I'm saying is,
like Sean Duffy said, and he didn't get into this
gross detail, try to act more civilized. That's all. Just
a little more civil lies in society. Think of other people.
Would you like to sit down at a seat where
(05:05):
somebody else had their bare feet? So then don't do it.
To the next guy, call and share. Maybe you have
a nicer story than that. Eight Edward three two one
zero seven ten. This is seven ten w R. The
Voice of New York Ken Rosotto Infra Mark. Well, I'm
sure you heard by now about US District Judge Cameron
McCowan Curry, the radical leftist activist Biden appointee who threw
(05:28):
out the James Comy and Letitia James indictments. Her argument
was that the prosecutor was no longer legally in power
as a prosecutor, so the cases had to be dismissed
on a technicality. So immediately tiss James and James Comy
took victory laps. All arrogant and the ms now types,
all the liberals with the with the you know, the
(05:51):
ear rings through their nose and the pink hair looking
like five hundred pounds like they're on their last breath.
Maybe they maybe they should rethink their joy because the
cases were dismissed without prejudice. Listen to the law professor
Jonathan Turley, listened to what he had to say.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
Letitia James took a bit of a victory lap after
this decision, and I think she missed the two words
that followed dismissal. And there was dismissal without prejudice. So
the Trump administration, even if they lose on appeal, could
seek out a new indictment. This is not over for James,
or call me. The judge specifically said, I am not
(06:35):
going to grant your motion to dismiss with prejudice. I'm
going to allow them to cure this problem.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
So what that means is it's going to take time,
but the government's going to come back after them. If
call me and James want to ensure the charges will
be refiled, keep gloating, keep gloating. That will ensure that
you will go back to court and next time every
I will be dotted and T will be crossed. So
the Trump administration and plans to first appeal the activist
(07:02):
judges decision to the Fourth US Circuit Court of Appeals
that's in Richmond, Virginia. That used to be considered kind
of a conservative stalwart court, but in recent years it
shifted a little more left. So they have a shot
at that. If that doesn't work, they will refile the
charges and this time they'll do it with a different
prosecutor and it will go through because the case is Look,
(07:25):
you're innocent until proven guilty. But certainly the case against
Letitia James. You have documents that she signed that it
was unquestionable. I mean Mark was talking about this yesterday.
I heard him talking about it yesterday. You signed a
document that says you live full time in a residence
in Virginia, and that gives you a lower interest rate
on your mortgage. That's a federal crime. And you get
(07:48):
a lower insurance rate, and you get lower taxes from
the local municipality in the state. So now you are
lying to three institutions using a federal instrument, and you
are the Attorney general of the state of New York.
You're not just some average schmo. So you know how
to read a contract? Okay, how do you defend yourself
(08:08):
against that? And on top of that, to become the
Attorney General of New York you have to live in
New York. So how could you have Virginia as not
a residence but your primary residence? So I'd like to
hear you know. Instead, what Letitia James immediately does is says,
this is a Republican trick and a conspiracy. No, just
answer the question did you sign that document? And if
(08:30):
you did so, why, and then how about the other
documents at the other houses. She has all the other
houses she allegedly did the same thing in So you
have to scratch your head and say, you are the
attorney general at the very least you should you should
be at a level playing field with everybody else. She's
trying to be above the law here. And remember the
Democrats kept saying about Trump. No one is above the law.
(08:51):
Seven ten wr the Voice of New York. This is
Ken Risotto in for the wonderful Mark Simone and enjoying
his day off. And in New Jersey, my beloved state
of New Jersey. New Jersey lawmakers have introduced a bill
that would ban ice agents and other law enforcement who
interact with the public from wearing masks or what they
(09:12):
call disguises. The bill would still allow undercover officers and
those wearing shields and don't cover their faces. If the
shields don't cover their faces or medical masks that's permitted.
Violators could face fines of up to one thousand dollars
and they could get up to six months in jail.
Senator Benji Wimberley, I love it. Listen, don't name your
(09:33):
kid Benji, because your kid's going to grow up to
be an adult male. And how would you like to
be fifty five years old? And people say, hey, Benji,
it's just not an adult name. Just think about that,
you know, I'm just saying, But Senator Benji Wimberly said
that he's concerned that masked officers might intimidate immigrant communities,
and he said that criminals could impersonate ICE agents. Okay, really,
(09:57):
then here's what I would say to the ICE eye
ICE senior officers. Tell everybody that the officers are wearing
medical masks. And in that case, then you can't say
that they're violating local law. But more important than that, technically,
because these are not technically in actuality, because they are
(10:18):
federal agents. And we have something called the supremacy Clause
in the Constitution. The state or local governments can enact
all the laws they want. They do not apply to
a federal agent. As long as a federal agent is
following the orders and following federal law, you can pass
all the local laws you want. And if you try
to touch that ICE agent, you will have your ass
(10:39):
holed into jail yourself. So I guarantee I know a
lot of New Jersey State Police officers, I mean a lot,
and they would not follow that order. You know how
the little Cadra of elected officials put out that internet
meme in the last week saying if you are a
member of the military, you do not have to follow
(11:00):
illegal orders. Well, I say the same thing now to
the New Jersey State Police, and I don't have to
because they're well aware of it. If New Jersey's legislature,
which is all far left, radical leftist liberals, if they
enact a passive bill and the governor, the new governor,
Governor Mikey, if they sign that into law and it
(11:20):
says that you must arrest an ice agent wearing a mask,
I guarantee those state police will say, uh no, no,
you go ahead and arrest them yourself. Senator, I'm not
going to arrest them because they know that under the
supremacy Clause of the Constitution, you, as a state police
officer in New Jersey, could be hauled up against the
wall and have your butt cuffed and taken to federal
(11:42):
prison if you try to stop a federal agent from
doing their job. Just a fact. If you doubt me,
or if you have an alternate opinion, try and debate it.
Go ahead, and I'll cite you the Constitution. In fact,
let's just do it right now, save you the time. Okay.
It's a direct violation of Article six, paragraph two US Constitution,
which has quote a state or municipality cannot pass a
(12:04):
law that interferes with the execution of federal law or
the duties of federal agents. So maybe the good state
senators missed that day in school in New Jersey. In
our eleven o'clock hour, we will speak to congressional candidate
Billy Prempe, he is a Republican running for Congress in
New Jersey's ninth congressional district, about the foolishness of states
(12:25):
or local municipalities trying to pass what are obviously symbolic
laws that cannot be enforced. Seven ten wore the voice
of New York Ken Rosanto in from Mark the day
before thanks a Giving. Oh man, do I love Thanksgiving?
By the way, here, I remember I told you I
was going to talk about food. For a second, I'll
talk about food. I used to work with the beautiful
(12:49):
and awesome Laurie Stokes at Channel seven. Remember Laurie. She is,
by the way, off air, as nice and as beautiful
as on air. She's one of my closest friends in
the world. And Laurie is the type person if I
don't talk to her in a year, which isn't the case,
but if I don't talk to her in a year
and then I talk to her. It's like we've been
(13:10):
talking every day. Just a great lady. She is also
one of the best darn cooks you'll ever encounter. The
food of if you ever find yourself in that situation,
it's delicious. She taught me a recipe for stuffing that
kicks a button. I'm gonna talk about it through the
show a little bit, but I got to share that.
In fact, it was on my show that I do
in New Jersey. We taped it yesterday so I could
(13:32):
put it on the ear and still come here. But
the key is layers of flavor. And Laurie takes She
takes three types of breads. She would take like rye
bread sour dough, and like a whole grain chunk type
it in type, cut it into chunks, toasted off with
herbs like fresh stage tons of fresh rosemary and a
(13:55):
little melted butter. Toasts that in the oven and then
put that in a bowl and add to that some
sauteed onions with garlic, a splash of a stock that's reduced,
and then bake that off in the oven with more
butter and more herbs. I'm telling you it's crazy, But
what she does is instead of adding sausage, she takes
dark meat like chicken thigh meat and shreds that and
(14:17):
puts that in. Because you're in the poultry theme, you
roast that off in the oven, or bake that off
in the oven and serve that. I'm telling you it's
the best darned stuffing. Somebody wants more, a more detailed recipe,
you could reach out to me on Instagram find my
Instagram account Ken Rosotto on Instagram there and you'll you'll
see that. Or on Facebook. I'm Ken Rosotto on Facebook too,
(14:39):
and I will give you this specific recipe.

know if they filed the case in New York against
for Tisha James. But she has a five family house
here and she listed it in the fourth family house
and that goes against the rules of building registration, which
she just had to, like I had to fill out
(15:53):
and have submitted by the end of August. Now coming
up next week is the bedbug registration. You have to
submit that your apartments either did and you had the
problem fixed or never did have bad bugs, and you
have to sign that doc. You have to go online
(16:14):
and electronically sign that document and resubmitted to the city.
That's next week, So she's on. She could get her
easily in trouble in New York if yeah decide to
pursue it is.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And also in Massachusetts. Remember she has another one in Massachusetts.
She's got homes all over the place, and I think
that's listed as a second home. You could do that
as a second home, that's okay. But I think in
Massachusetts she may and this is I don't know for sure,
but I believe she was renting that out. Now the
question is did she pay her income tax? She may have,
(16:46):
I don't know. I'm asking did she pay her income
tax on rent from that home or did she list
it just as a second home for herself? But she
is allegedly renting that out. So there are a lot
of questions here. And if you're going to be the
chief law enforcement officer of this to New York, you
better follow the law yourself exactly.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
And there's I don't know how you get around here
in New York. How you get around, say in an
apartment on the building only has four units when it
has five. Because also when you fill out your insurance,
when you have to buy your insurance, whether you buy
it every year or every three years like some people do,
(17:25):
because if you buy it all at once for three years,
you got to get a break on the rate because
you got to pay up all at once. You still
have to put down And she also be maybe liabel
for insurance.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Right because if you say that it's your personal residence
as opposed to a residence you're renting out. You get
different rates, and you also pay different rates in taxes
in some communities.
Speaker 6 (17:46):
So that but here's the thing. Can you also you're
lying because it has four units and it has five units,
and you're telling the insurance company it has four So
there's a a liability on you on their pot because
it has five units, and you're lessening the liability by
(18:07):
life it's say hated as.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
There's no question. Look, there's no question. There was some
some dancing around fact.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
The issue is she's she's going to try to make
the argument. I'm sure that it was the attorney that
did this. But you are the attorney general. You are
an attorney, so you should know better. You should double
and triple check anything before you sign it. If you're
going to be in public office.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Ken On all of the building registrations, it says, are
you an agent for the landlord? Meanwhile you a rental
agent like a big real estate company, right, and if
you are, you still have to have the landlord sign
the official document.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Hey, Vincent, get out of it. If you did it,
you would be in jail in a heart right now.
You would be we'd be calling you and you'd be
as a hey, I only got two more minutes left
in two quarters. That's that's what would be the case.
So you know that we would be treated quite differently.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
Unfortunately, so she has the legal slush fund here that
Katy Huckel set up for her of ten million dollars
that she could tap into, which we would never have
the advantage of something like that. And unfortunately all of
us New Yorkers are on the hook for her for
her bill.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
That's why I live in New Jersey. Vincent, you are
the best, my friend. Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you are.
Do you By the way, I gotta quickly ask, do
you guys do a pasta with your turkey?
Speaker 7 (19:30):
No?
Speaker 6 (19:31):
Just only when my grandfather used to come home, because
he would he would he would do we'd have a
Losignia and turkey. No, I just do I just do
a turkey.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
You're you're an a medi guan. You're in a medigan all.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Over Tomorrow night, Tomorrow night, I'll probably I'll leave pasta,
well maybe tonight. I'll see maybe tonight and Friday night
I'll leave pasta.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
There you go, listen, enjoy it, have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
We will talk to you. I'm back on Friday for
bar to So what do you hear out? All one?
Speaker 6 (20:01):
All right?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
You thank you, sir, oh Man, I love talking Vincent
and and robbed you too, and Franklin score Happy Thanksgiving?
How are you, sir?
Speaker 8 (20:11):
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Ken and you and your family.
You know, uh you and uh and and uh Laurie
you had you It was it was great listening to you.
I listened as a retired transit cup. I listened to
you guys when you're on in mid day.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (20:28):
The thing is with with the cases with Tommy and
and and Letitia.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
Uh they're both guilty.
Speaker 8 (20:36):
But the thing is like Pam Bondy was against uh
uh prosecuting call me.
Speaker 6 (20:41):
I mean she did.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
She thought it was a weak case. She she had
the assistant, her assistant d A. He didn't he uh
didn't want to, you know, file charges. And then when
the time was running out, what did they ext What
did Trump expect? I was a real estate uh attorney
to to you know, and the time was running out.
You can you can indict a ham sandwich and uh
(21:05):
what and Ady McCarty said on Fox about two months
ago he said, this case will never go against Tom,
will never go to trut.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Let me say this, if I may rub only only
a couple of things. Number One, I think part of
the punishment is this. You know they knew. I think
deep down this wasn't going to go very far. But
they want to bankrupt the guy. Let's make his life hell.
See the difference. When they did this to Trump, he
had five billion in the bank, So I lose half
a billion. What's a big deal when you do it
to Komy. Now, I granted he probably has a lot
of money stashed here and there, but he probably will
(21:35):
lose that money in defending himself. So I think that's part.
If they want to make it as painful in existence
as possible, let him have some sleepless nights after what
he put other people through. And I'm sure that is
the punishment in the back of their minds. In terms
of indicting a ham Sandwich, though, if you look at
the district where it was done, yes and no. I
mean you never can tell with a grand jury. I've
seen Steff where you say grand Juri will never indict
(21:56):
and they indict, and other cases where you say this
is a slam dunk, and they don't so you never
really know, but we'll see what happens. Look, they're gonna appeal,
and if the appeal doesn't work, they will refile charges that.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
It makes a lot of sense what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
More importantly, though, what are you doing for Thanksgiving?
Speaker 9 (22:13):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
And what does your family?
Speaker 8 (22:14):
My sister, my sister has us over my You know,
a lot of relatives are no longer with us, but
my sister, my brother and sister in law. She cooks
turkey and pasta.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
There you go.
Speaker 8 (22:24):
We're Irish, mostly Irish, little German. But you know we're
into the pasta with the turkey.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Down with him. By the way, my friends, I'm not
kidding about this, and I mean no insult to my family.
I had my one of my dearest friends growing up.
His name is Bill Dirton Gerald, give me a shot out.
His dad Irish and German. His dad used to make
the best damn pasta and pasta sauce ever ever, and
I used to love and yet he never ate it himself.
He didn't like pasta, but he may nobody's business. Something
(22:51):
about following the rules and the and the anyway, just delicious.
He's out there listening right now. So I give a
shout out to mister Dirtinger.
Speaker 8 (22:58):
God, God bless your canon, and thanks for bringing up
boy's name. You know, yeah, I just saw you guys
were great. You guys were great together on the news.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Thank you.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Bill.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Bill Evans had us all out in the Hamptons a
couple of weeks ago, so I was at with her
and we had a good time. It was nice to
see her again. And Rob, you have a happy Thanksgiving,
my friend. Thanks for checking in all right. Seven to
ten WR the Voice of New York. This is Ken Rosotto,
win from Mark the day before Thanksgiving. A little bit
later we'll speak with financial expert Ron Glasgow about how
Americans planned to spend their money this Black Friday. At
(23:28):
least one survey suggests people plan to spend less this
year than last.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Now more of the Mark Simone Show on seven to
ten wo R fulling in for Mark.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Here again is Ken Rosatto.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
And good to be with you on the Wednesday before
Thanksgiving and Mark has enjoined a nice long weekend.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
New data from Deloitte shows that Americans are planning on
spending less this Black Friday. Than in years past. It's
a reversal from tradition. Financial expert Ron Glasgow is here
to talk about some possible reasons why and what MA
way you want to do to ensure that we have
our budgets done to control in twenty twenty six. Good morning,
Ron Glasgow, Good morning. How are you good? Very good?
(24:09):
Happy Thanksgiving in a little early So this Deloitte data
should be a little concerning, right does it suggest a
contraction of economy? The economy could be on the way.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Yeah, I think it makes that suggestion. And I always
say you never want to look at any one article.
You want to look at a spattering. But you know,
article after article shows that consumer confidence is really down,
probably for the lowest sense three or four years ago,
when interest rates were really spiking. So, you know, to me,
it just feels like we've been on this bull market
for so long. You know, stocks are at all time high,
(24:42):
golden at all time high, everything's sort of it at
all time high, and you know, nothing goes up forever.
So to me, it kind of feels like a jack
in the box. And you know, every quarter that goes
by when we have these new highs, it's kind of
turning that crank a quarter of a turn and sooner
or later that Jackson to come out of the box.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah, like musical chairs, music stops. No extra chair. Sorry.
The data is showing now that people who make under
fifty thousand a year plan on scaling back spending like
twelve percent. People who weren't over two hundred thousand plan
on cutting back eighteen percent. That shocked me because I
thought the people who made over two hundred thousand, well,
they'll make it up. Yeah, they'll be spending more money.
So is it just that people don't feel secure now
(25:20):
overall about what's coming up in the next couple of quarters.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Yeah, I think that's really it. You know, the markets
hate uncertainty, and there's quite a bit of that right now.
But just everyday people, you know, I'm pretty plugged into
my community and it's a fairly well to do community,
and people are, you know, concerned about prices. You know,
I did a podcast a while ago and on that
particular day, inflation came in at three percent instead of
(25:45):
three point one, and the markets in are all time high.
Well that's great for eggheads like me, but for everyday
people it doesn't matter, you know, it's you have this
massive run up in inflation. So now this set are control,
it doesn't mean that prices dial back. People were just
still gaining at a reasonable pace on top of that
massive jump, and that's very difficult to deal with.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yeah, I mean, I've heard some people say that. In fact,
Sean Hennedy was talking about this the other night. He said, look,
it's going to take until at least the middle of
next year before you see some of the changes that
were enacted by the Trump administration in terms of positively
affecting the economy. And then, if you know, you're maybe
too young to remember this, I'm fifty eight. Back in
(26:26):
the Reagan days, everybody said, oh, look it's Reagonomics isn't working.
It's a big failure. It took till two years, and
at two years, all of a sudden the economy flips.
Because in the late seventies we had total malaise. It
was a horrible economy, and people thought that was the
new normal. But it shifted. Nineteen eighty two to nineteen
eighty eight, the economy was gangbusters. So do we just
(26:48):
have to be patient or do you think this might
be kind of a long term deal. To deal with.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
Yeah, you know, I do think that we need to
be patient, and that's one thing Americans just aren't very
good at.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
You know.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
You know, you people like love to throw darts at
President Trump, and I get it. The guy's a lightning
rod more than any other president I've ever seen in
my lifetime. And I do remember the great round of
Riggan by the way, Yes, but but uh, you know,
he's the lightning rod. So he's gonna get his share
of criticism and his followers are gonna love what he says.
But you know, the things you do with tariffs. You know,
I grew up with a steel mill town, and I
(27:22):
know that the Chinese would take advantage of us in
the seventies. So it's good he's doing some things. I
think what makes people nervous is is sort of this
back and forth. You know, we're gonna at tax Brazil
on coffee. We're gonna tax Vietnam on coffee. Now we're
gonna take that away. So but that's his style. You know,
the guy gets results and that's just the way he works.
That just unsettling to some people. But yes, I think
(27:44):
patients is key, and don't be afraid for the market
to pull back. That's a very normal thing. You know,
earlier this year we had one, and man, you just
before we were in the middle of a great recession again.
People are kind of freaking out, and you know, you've
got to uh manager savings your investments for sort of
an all weather portfolio and anticipate those pullbacks because they
do occur.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
I think Trump is doing kind of a ropidope. You know,
he confuses you, he makes you look over here, and
then he does something on the other side. He really
is the kind of guy people, you know, many on
the left call him nuts, they call him he's losing it.
I think he is genius on a level that we
don't understand, and he plays chess on such a level
that we can't comprehend. And I just really do think
(28:28):
that what we look at as confusion or as lack
of planning is very planned on his part.
Speaker 6 (28:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
You know, clearly he's much moreter than I am. You know,
I'm a former marine. I could barely play checkers, let alone,
so he's got me.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
I can't even play checkers. So there.
Speaker 7 (28:46):
You know. Another guy that reminds me of is Jim Harbaugh,
the football you know, supposedly he thrives on a chaotic
environment and that's how he coaches and very successful. It's rare,
but it works for certain people.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Absolutely.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
Well.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Look, the only thing that really concerns me, I'm sure
if you're you clearly know, but better than the economy.
Better on the economy than me. Consumer spending accounts for
seventy percent of the GDP, and so how will a
possible downswing of four percent and spending impact our gross
domestic product?
Speaker 7 (29:17):
Yeah, and you know, I can't do the calculations on
the fly, but that is a massive concern. America's business
is business, and so when people stop spending and doing business,
it kind of has an avalanche effect. So that's the
real concern, is that people stop, and you know, I
think you're going to see it slow just because people
are starting to run out of money.
Speaker 8 (29:37):
You know.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Something that is a little silly, but it comes to mind,
is if you remember the subway commercial five five dollars
foot long. I don't know how long ago that was,
but it wasn't very long.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
You know.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
I had to have my oil changed a couple of
weeks ago, and I stopped it in the subway for
the first time in a long time, the cheapest sub
on the Mediu was a Vegie sub at ten dollars
and twenty cents. Yeah, so again, I can't remember exactly
when that jingle stopped, but I know no one's income
is doubled in that time.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
You know what I just went for? Listen. I never
went for a fancy haircut in my whole life, honestly.
I mean even when I was a news anchor over
at over at Channel seven here in New York, I
always went to supercuts. I'm sorry, people are gonna laugh.
They tease me all the time. Oh, you must go
to one of those fancy French places. Now I go
to Sue I call it supe coup. I go to
the supercou. It used to be like twelve ninety five.
(30:21):
It's twenty six dollars and you could go to a
barber and spend less. Now it seems than it's some supercuts.
It's just amazing. And yes, like you said, in a year,
it jumped from like seventeen or whatever to twenty six.
It's amazing. What's happening to with inflation right now? So
it's a little unnerving, I'm sure. So what's a website
for people to read more about you. Ron.
Speaker 7 (30:42):
Oh sure, Glasgow Investments dot com Glasgow like the City
of Scotland Investments dot com.
Speaker 2 (30:47):

to ten wr coming right back.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
This is the Mark Simone Show on seven ten wr
Ben from Mark.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Today, here's Ken Rosatto.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
And straight to our busy phones. On this Wednesday, yes,
even the day before Thanksgiving, we go to Robert in Westchester.
Good morning Robert, Good morning Ken.
Speaker 9 (31:55):
How are you in? Happy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Happy Thanksgiving? What going do for Robert?
Speaker 9 (32:03):
This is my problem with the Democrats and especially the
people that vote for them. For four years, they lied
to the entire nation about immigration and the border. For
four years we had the barbarian hordes stampede our country.
And now every taxpayer is afflicted with having to use
(32:24):
their tax dollars not only to get these people out
who are the criminals and the people who broke the law,
but also to feed them, house them, give them medical
attention and aid. So now when they think about voting
next year for the interms, think about what the Democrats
tagged you with. Don't just think of the present, but
(32:46):
think of the future and the past and what they
had done to all of us, because they lied to
you before and they will lie to you again. Just
to do one thing a chief power impeach Trump was
doing gangbusters. He's done more for not only our nation
but the world in ten months. Good that Ken, I
(33:07):
wish you just all the best in By the way,
I will be having palpit tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
My father, but the.
Speaker 9 (33:13):
Turkey's primary yes on Americano Americano first.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I'm with you too. Thank you Ken, Thank dear Robert.
Happy Thanksgiving, Yain. It's funny Robert says that I remember
asking my grandfather from who was born in Italy, my
father's both both my grandparents. I remember asking my father's
father what would happen I was four, what would happen
if we ever went to war with Italy? And he
put his finger in my face and says, you are
an American. If we ever went to war with Italy,
you are an American. You fight for America because you
(33:41):
are an American. You are not an Italian. You may
come from the extraction of Italy, but you are an American.
I never forgot that America first. There you have, and
I'm with him. It is ten fifty nine right now,
mostly cloudy mile today, high's low sixties and partly cloudy
tomorrow for Thanksgiving windy and cooler, high's low forties' Is
that on from Mark on your Wednesday? Coming up a
