Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now the Mark Simone Show on seven tenor filling in
for Mark, here's Ken Rosato and.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
So good to be with you. Happy on Friday, Oh,
happy holidays. Good to be here. We are more than
halfway through Honukah. Christmas, of course, is next Thursday. If
you have not done your holiday shop and yet, what
are you waiting for? Oh my gosh, you gotta get
off your button, do it. I know it sneaks up.
And it's funny when you hear people say, like on Thanksgiving, oh,
(00:28):
this is one of the short years. You know, the
difference in terms of days between a short year meaning
where Thanksgiving falls in November versus a long year. It's
like the difference of three days. Three days does not
make that much of a difference, folks. And Christmas does
not sneak up. It's on the same date every year.
It's just that it feels like it does anyway. But
happy Hanukah. Were about what It's Sunday or month Monday,
(00:52):
So last day, Sunday night, Monday, last day of Honkkah,
So happy Hanukah to everybody. Celebrate that as well. Hey,
Brandon digital expert Fisher will be here later this hour.
He has some really cool tech gadgets you can give
as gifts or buying for yourself if you still need
to for the holidays. Mark is off today again. This
is Ken Rosato. Lots to talk about. Please excuse my laryngitis.
(01:15):
Tis the season for that, especially with the weather that
we had overnight and last night and right now. A
what confusion in the Brown University case. The suspect in
the Brown University mass shooting, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, now
appears to have killed himself. Valente is a forty eight
year old former Brown student and Portuguese national. He was
(01:38):
found dead from self inflicted wounds at a storage facility
in Salem, New Hampshire. They believe he shot himself in
the head. They found him at the scene with a
satchel to firearms and evidence that matched the crime scene. Now,
investigators say they don't know why Valente targeted the university.
He went there apparently for a year in the early
(01:58):
two thousands. I don't know why he went back to
do what he did and why he would have shot
a students or two in this case, a number of students,
two of them died. But official say Valente is responsible.
That's what they believe, and that he also killed an
MIT professor at his Massachusetts home fifty miles north of Brown.
(02:19):
And they say they're still working on a motive, but
that he may have known this guy. They may have
studied in Lisbon, Portugal together. They may have even been
roommates at one point. Nevis was admitted into the US
legally under a very liberal diversity dv ie visa program
that appears to be totally out of control. It's also
(02:40):
called the Green Card Lottery. It was meant to diversify
the US, because clearly we are not a diverse nation.
Fifty five thousand people take part in this lottery each year.
But the Homeland Security Secretary Christinome now says that she
is recommending to President Trump that they scraped the program.
Of course, we'll find out more in the next few days.
(03:02):
The whole investigation has been rather sloppy by the folks
in Rhode Island, but we'll we'll see what they come
up with in the next few days. Seven ten wor
the Voice of New York. Hey, how about this, I'm
sure you heard this this week. The FBI did not
believe that agents had probable cause to execute a search
(03:25):
warrant at President Trump's mar A Lago estate in August
of twenty twenty two, that, according to internal records released
yesterday by Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, actually wasn't yesterday, It
was Tuesday by Chuck Grassley and confirmed by FBI Director
Cash battel so Now. An ETBI official noted that agents
(03:46):
had spent six weeks trying to establish probable cause and
that they were counterproductive. Grassley also claimed that there are
emails and other documents proving that a miscarri of justice
occurred against Trump. You'll recall agents turned on their lights
and sirens before swarming the complex like there would be
(04:09):
people in there firing back at them or something. They
even entered first Lady Malania Trump's bedroom. They had a
shoot to kill order. So if any of the Secret
Service agents that were guarding Trump, because remember he was
the former president at that point from the twenty fifteen
to twenty sixteen election, there was a shoot to kill
order that was given by Merrick Garland. I mean the
(04:31):
man should be holed off in cuffs for that. This
is crazy. You don't have probable cause. And then instead
of saying go in there, peacefully. You give a shoot
to kill order, What is wrong with you? It's just
a sick man. The other thing they did, a professional
safe cracker later helped access items in Trump's office, broke
into his personal safe, and also apparently they rated baron
(04:54):
Trump's bedroom. They went through all his drawers as well.
Former President Joe Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland ultimately the
one to sign off on the search over the objections
of a number of people at the FBI South Florida
US District. Judge Eileen Cannon later dismissed the case entirely,
ruling that special Counsel Jack Smith was never legally appointed
(05:17):
to begin with because he required congressional approval. But yet
they let him get away with five years. Five years
of spending over fifty million dollars of your taxpayer money
and literally haunting everybody who works for the Trump administration,
hurling accusations left and right. It nearly cost Trump the
(05:38):
twenty twenty four election, and yet nobody's being held a cannibal.
How the hell is that possible? Every one of them
should be locked up for this. This was all false,
and now that we know there was no probable cause
give me a break. They hauled Jack Smith before Congress
and he insisted, he insisted that he had evidence. But
(05:59):
when they asked him, well, what it's your evidence? Nothing,
ziltch zero nada. Nothing that's to borrow from the great
late Great Russia. Limba, he used to say, ziltch zero nada.
There was not one conviction made in five years. But
yet he bankrupt a number of people who had to
hire defense attorneys and literally burn through all their life
savings to do what to literally defend themselves for having
(06:23):
worked for the previous administration. This is obscene. That's why
when I hear the Democrats in quote unquote mainstream media
say that Trump is politicizing the Justice Department. Really, you
guys have a PhD in politicization. This is what you
did for years. You literally terrified people on the right
(06:44):
for years when there was no reason to do so.
And here you guys practicing the psychological method of projection.
You guys were the ones to actually politicize and actually
unjustly use the so called Justice Department against people who
were innocent. Remember all the times that Adam Schiff swore
(07:05):
to the press that he had groundbreaking evidence proving there
was Russia, Russia, Russia collusion against President Trump. He kept
promising to present the evidence, and he never did. All
the times he said he had this evidence, he never did.
Why did mainstream media never hold him accountable? Why did
they always run up to him like a bunch of
asses and stick Mike in his face? And anything he
(07:28):
said was gospel? Anything that Schiff said was gospel. And
then the people of California reward him by electing him Senator. Really,
the guy lied to you for all those years and
you elect him, Senator. Well, if there was so much
evidence shift the shift, why didn't you present it. This
is part of the strategy of the left. This is
(07:48):
part of Mao's little red book. It's all about painting
the other side. Even if you know it's bs, you
know it's a lie, just keep saying it over and
over again and eventually people will believe. That's the left's playbook.
Seven ten wr the Voice of New York Hen Rosatto
with laryngitis along filling in for the Great Marximon Today.
(08:10):
Our number is eight hundred three two one zero seven
to ten. Well, good to see that President Trump has
filed the lawsuit against the BBC for ten billion dollars.
Do we expect that he'll get ten billion? No, do
we expect he might get one hundred million maybe, And
you know, he'll do what he does best. He'll distribute
it to charities or maybe put it into his presidential library,
(08:33):
something that President Biden can't say that can be done
because he hasn't raised a penny for his presidential library.
And if you look at Obama's presidential library, they're basically
out of money and it looks like just the most
disgusting iceore ever. So Trump is going to have, I'm sure,
a gold dripping beautiful presidential library. And it's going to
be in downtown Miami. By the way, what a great location.
(08:54):
It's right by the river, right by the shore there
to Miami. Pardon me. This is the area near the
Freedom Tower that the Cubans revered so much. Cuban Americans
down there, it's just a great spot. So apparently the
British broadcaster BBC, they said that they had accidentally left
(09:17):
a mistaken impression that President Trump called for violent action
before the storming of the Capitol in twenty sixteen. Well
in a forty six page lawsuit filed in Miami federal court.
Trump accused the BBC of defaming him and violating Florida's
Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. He demanded five billion
(09:38):
for each of two offenses that he says they violated.
The president's legal team said the lawsuit is meant to
hold the British network accountable for his for its wrongdoing,
and of course it'll send a message to all the
other leftist morons who do the same thing. You'll recall
what the BBC did. They edited together two separate portions
of President Trump's speech to supporters on j January sixth,
(10:00):
twenty twenty one, portions that were actually spoken nearly an
hour apart.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
We're gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll be
there with you, and we fight.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
We fight like hell.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
We're gonna walk.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Down to the Capital.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
And we're gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen
and women.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Now do you think there's any difference there? They edited
together the first bite that we call it a bite
in TV and radio. The first sound bite, the first
sound bite with the edit makes it sound like we're
gonna go down to the Capitol. We're gonna fight fight, fight,
So in other words, we're not gonna accept the outcome
of the election. That's what that suggests. Meanwhile, what actually
(10:50):
was said was we're gonna march down, we're gonna do
so peacefully, and we're gonna cheer on our congressmen and women.
Quite a difference. But yet the scenario, the narrative that
was painted by the left for years was the Trump
started the riots and he wanted he wanted to overthrow
the government. None of that happened. None of that happened.
(11:11):
It was in their crazy leftist minds, and they kept
repeating the same lie among themselves and their leftist bubble,
and so this narrative became truth in leftist circles. Again,
as I mentioned in the last story, this is what
the left does. Tell a lie, and if it doesn't
exist formal lie, create a lie and say it over
and over and over and over again until the narrative
(11:34):
is bought, and even mainstream media starts repeating it as
if it's truth when it's not. Well, the BBC insists
there edit was not defamatory, it was an accident. Then
why'd you do it? Why did you need to edit
a twenty one second sound bite. If it was like
two minutes, I could see. I know there are time constraints.
It was twenty one seconds. Why would you need to
(11:56):
edit that. We use twenty one second sound bites and
TV and radio all the time. It was because they
were trying to paint the narrative, folks, And that is
why the BBC fired their two chief people, the two
people in charge of the entire network, who basically would
have had their job for life, but they got led
or I'm sorry, they resigned on their own. That was
translation for if you leave on your own, will give
(12:18):
you a million dollars and you could go live in peace,
or will fire you, take you to court and you
get nothing. So they left on their own. Well, the
edit was responsible for a false Democrat narrative. Like I said,
that nearly cost Trump the twenty twenty four election, and
it is disgusting that they did it. But they got
away with it until now. Hopefully they will lose this
lawsuit or settle out of court if they're smart, and
(12:41):
President Trump can give that money that he will get
to a good conservative charity. Seven to ten w o
R The Voice of New York A laryng Jeitick Ken
Rosatto in for the great Mark Simone today. I hope
Mark is enjoying his holidays. Ah, the two faced Kathy
vision my lips trying to get over the oversized caps
(13:02):
in my mouth right now. I'm sorry, that's mean. She's
getting tough on your behalf. Now. See she is now
demanding that con Edison explained to her why they are
warning customers there may be rolling blackouts through the year
twenty twenty six. She acts like this is a shock. Hey, Kathy,
how about when your liberal predecessor, Andrew Cuomo ordered the
(13:25):
perfectly fine functioning Indian Point Nuclear Power plant to shut
down without a replacement. That eliminated twenty five percent of
all the power generating capacity for the entire region. At
the same time, you open the floodgates to a million
illegals in New York, declaring New York a sanctuary state. Well,
guess what. A million people use a lot of resources.
(13:47):
They live in homes, taking away those homes from citizens
looking for place to live. They clog highways at times
day and night. Their kids jam our classrooms and cost
us billions in school breakfast, lunch, and dinner programs, and
guess what else, Kathy, They flush toilets what ken, Yes,
that adds to the pressure of our water and sewer systems.
(14:08):
If you don't believe me, ask a plumber. A building
has an approximated capacity of toilet flushes per apartment, and
when all of a sudden, there are three times that
number of people living in an apartment, that puts a
strain on the system. Too much water is drawn and
too much water is flushed. Then come the AI companies,
cloud storage facilities and tens of thousands of these liberal
(14:31):
electric vehicles plugging into charge up, and you get rolling blackouts.
Kafee duh. How about having the illegals go home to
wherever they came from and building more reliable nuclear or
fossil fuel electric generating power plants, Miss Buffalo, I mean
this is not brain surgery, folks. This is an easy fix.
These problems are caused by liberals, but they shrug their
(14:51):
shoulders and then immediately blame somebody else for what is
their own fault. I mean, the same thing happened in
New Jersey. The reason why we've had two years of
twenty percent power increases is because Governor Murphy and the
Democrats in Trenton order the shutdown of six perfectly good
power plants because they're evil fossil fuel and one of
(15:13):
them was a nuclear plant, So you order them shut
down before you have new green plants built. What do
you get your short power? Now? The demand is high
because of AI and cloud storage and all the illegals
eight hundred nine hundred thousand illegals in New Jersey too.
The demand is high, so the cost per kilo out
of electricity goes through the roof. This is why it's
(15:35):
not because we're part of this regional grid. The whole
grid is impacted when you add millions of people whom
you don't account for. But again, this is what the
Democrats do, and they guise it as compassion. Meanwhile, screw you,
you citizen, tax paying moron. Middle finger to you. Just
keep paying us, and keep electing us, and shut up
and mind your business and do what we tell you.
(15:56):
Keep voting Democrats, folk folks, and that's what you get.

(16:40):
at seven ten woir the Voice of New York. We're
coming right back.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
This is the Mark Simone Show on seven ten. WOI
ben for Mark today. Here's Ken Rosatto.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Had a very good time to you, good holiday time.
Let's go right to our busy phones. Vincent and Brooklyn,
who I'm sure will give me a good tip on
what did you about my laryngitis?
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Uh Ud Male and de Tayey exactly born natali Ate
a borano Ate and KEIVORSTRICARTI.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Thank you and to you as well, Happy Holidaysry Christmas,
Happy New to you and your friend.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Well, what I would like to tell your audience is
beware of scams out there because and also download the
app from your banks because recently, my my checking account
was scammed in October, but I didn't get the printed statement.
It was scammed towards the end of October, but I
(17:41):
didn't get the printed statement until December one, a couple
of weeks ago, and I went what And I looked
on it and what somebody actually did They put in
the withdrawal for my count as a pre approved with Raoral.
Now I reedially called it my back. I said, hey,
you know me, I don't do auto pay with anyone.
(18:04):
The only ones who will electronically cash your check are
a utility company because they don't send somebody down to
the bank. But this person who ever did it, made
a big mistake. Because the anti fraud police are on
the case. What they did was I don't know how
they got not only my checking account number, but like
(18:27):
the eband number, all the numbers that are at the
bottom of your check besides your account. And with this
fool did I know the person's name, And I'm not
going to say it because the investigators gave it to me.
What this person did was they bought something and they
(18:47):
paid their bill. They must have had bad credit because
there are these companies that you buy something from one
of their pull your prove vendors and they they'll they'll
advance to credit on it and then you have to
pay them.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It can because it's through a secondary person.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Exactly. So this fool, this fool used the money that
they pilfit from my account to pay their credit card
bill with this. With this, it's not master Card or
anything there these these third party companies. It's not master
Card and it's not Visa. And my advice to anybody
(19:28):
is beware of these companies. That's all I could say.
And this fool made a mistake of pretty big several
thousand dollars can's paying off their bill with my pilfit money.
And so, Vincent, did.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
You get your money back? At least did they give it?
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yeah, I'm with God. Actually I'm sitting at my desk
and I'm rebalancing my checking account.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Hey, here's my advice to anybody who tries to rob
from Vincent. I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Exactly. Then, when I had to, not only I had
to make a police report, when I spoke to the
bank examiners, because when you go to the bank, they
send you to they call up there, insurers and everything,
and they backtracked the account all the activity. And the
person did it at eleven fifty nine PM, right before
(20:20):
the start of a new day. And so the bank
examiner says, do you know so and so this person
that did it? I said no, and so I also, Vincent.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I mean to cut us, but we got news time.
But listen, I'm just glad you got your money back.
And again a merry, merry Christmas, Happy New Year. God
bless you and your family. And we will definitely be
checking in. I'll be in on Monday, so call us
during the Larry METI Show METI in the morning. We'll
catch you out then. Thank you so much, Vincent. Seven
to ten WR the voice of New York former tv
NE sactor Ken Rosatto Infra Mark and it is now
(20:56):
eleven thirty three now.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
More of the Marksmon Show on seven to ten wo R.
Filling in for Mark. Here again is Ken.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Rossetto and so good to be with you on this ring. Friday.
It's windy, but maya is it mild out there today?
And the holidays are here. Let's face it, we still
have that one person to shop for who's into tech
stuff that we wish we knew about to buy as
a gift, or maybe we want some cool tech gadgets
to buy for ourselves. Brand and digital strategist Fisher, who
(21:26):
can be found at at Fisher on X and Threads
and at Fisher dot Media. We say Merry Christmas, good morning,
and welcome to the Mark Simone Show.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Good morning, Ken, how are you ah?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Little larynge I just okay? Otherwise it's gonna say you
sounded great. It's my Brenda the Caro impersonation. That's what
it is. So what are some cool tech gadgets that
we may not know about this year for the person
who's into cool tech stuff?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Absolutely? First, I'm going to just mention that if you
have a child or a teenager, Nintendo Switch to Mario
Kart bundle is still on set well at Walmart. You
can get it at Target, so you can still get
these gifts, right. But some cool things, as you mentioned
insta three sixty Link two. It's a webcam four K resolution,
DSLR quality, noise canceling and this is the great part
(22:16):
tracking and framing. So if you're sitting in front of
your computer during doing zoom calls. It's one thing and
you can have like a fixed camera if you will right,
but this camera, if you have to get up to
do presentations, it will track you, so it'll follow you
if you stand up, it'll zoom out, zoom in if
you move around to whiteboard, things of that sort.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
So great, great camera.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
It's only about one hundred and fifty bucks, which is
pretty reasonable, and you could get it at insta three
sixty dot com. How about a drone anti gravity a
one drone. Get this eight K video on a drone
obstacle avoidance so you don't run into a tree of
building your house your dog. Six mile range comes with
a headset, grip controllers, so you're kind of playing it
(22:56):
like a video game and then you're looking at what
the drone sees in the ed said. Comes with a battery,
a carry case, a carrying case.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You could get that at.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Best Buy and something for the grandparents, maybe your parents.
Ten inch Wi Fi enabled digital photo frame. It's great.
You can update the pictures. You can, you know, take
them from your phone and upload them into the photo frame.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
That's at best By.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
It's only about fifty nine bucks, but there's plenty of
deals also. Think of things like accessories, AirPod Pro threes,
Pixel Buds Pro twos, the Apple Watch or Pixel Watch,
or even just something simple like a tablet or laptop stand,
privacy screens, and there's plenty of things. You can go online,
you can order it and then just go pick it up.
(23:36):
You don't have to, you know, go through the store
and you know, sit in the aisles with everybody else
that's looking for last minute gifts. You can do a
lot of it online and then just pick up on
the stores, so you're not worried about the shipping.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
That is awesome. Seven to ten wore the Voice of
New York, Hen Rosanto, went from Mark on a Friday,
smack dab in the middle of the holidays. Right now,
of course, we have a few days left of Hanukah,
Christmas is only six days away, and we're speaking with Fisher,
who can tell you all about everything tech and he
has some great advice here for us. So now you've
(24:08):
also talked about before going out shopping or even doing
shopping online, to get credit cards for cash back and
deals before you add to the store. So talk about that.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Yeah, we talked about this on Black Friday and kind
of got a great response on it, so I'll mention
it again for anybody who didn't hear that. Show your
credit cards if you have one, basically you have cash
back rewards, you have reward points that you can get.
Capital One has Capital One offers, amex offers, Bankamera deals,
even discover Card has cash bonuses. And the point of
(24:37):
mentioning this is before you go to the store, check
the app, check the website of your credit cards and
see if you go through the link in the app
that you get an extra five percent off or you
get an extra ten thousand membership rewards points. A company
like Capital one there credit card, they actually have an
extension for your browsers, so as you go to websites,
you don't have to keep track of all of it.
It will tell you. It'll say, hey, there's an offer
(24:59):
here for five percent cash back if you use your
Capital one card. Rakuten is a great resource as well,
and they have a browser extension you can use, and
that's fantastic. And I also want to mention that if
you have a credit card or anything, really look to
burn your perks by the end of the year. A
lot of your credit cards offer perks like TSCA free
(25:22):
check Global Entry, Clear Membership. You know they'll cover the
cost if you just sign up a Rezi so Rezi
is an online restaurant reservation and American Express offers one hundred
dollars a quarter if credit you got to burn that
sacks fifth avenue credit on an American Express. Think airline
incidental credits too. As you travel, make sure you bring
that credit card that you're gonna be able to take
(25:43):
care of the baggage fee or the lounge fees, drink
tickets in your airline app if you get those through
your credit card, and think of things that you wouldn't
normally think of, meaning a Clear membership has discounts, so
check the Clear app and you get a discount on
Uber one or forty nine dollars off or ring. And
then also, of course, you know your Starbucks point expire
(26:04):
at the end of the month, Dunkin Donuts, whatever it is.
This is the end of the year, not just the
end of the month, it's the end of a quarter,
it's the end of the year. So think of those
because all of this will expire by the end of
the of the next week right, so two weeks from
now actually, and so you want to burn all these
points because you're paying, in some cases a large annual
(26:24):
fee on a credit card. Make sure you take advantage
of it.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Wow, that is all amazing advice. And I know you
have this all on your website, Fisher dot Media. So
if anybody saying, wait, this all sounds great, but I'm
driving and I can't write it down, don't worry about it.
You can do that. You can check it out there.
Let me ask you, did you get all your holiday
shopping done?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Absolutely not, but there are great deals and it's great.
Like I was thinking about for my mom, and there's
such great deals on televisions now two hundred three hundred
dollars for seventy five inch TVs at Walmart, Costco, Best Buy,
pick a store. It's easy to walk in and grab
one of those deals. So I feel confident now. If
(27:02):
we talk on Tuesday, I will feel less confident. But
as of right now, going into the weekend, I'm feeling good.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
This is this is amazing. So Fisher comes on our
the show that we do in New Jersey, and Fisher
always has this great advice and almost inevitably I will
ask did you do this for yourself and say no.
So Fisher's great at giving advice, but terrible at doing
it himself. He's do as I'd say, don't do as
I do.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Except for the password stuff. You're the one with password
one two three four as your passwords?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Well thanks for sharing.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Well, I mean you get it on TV.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I figured it was open listen. I think if if
the company gives you the product with the word password
as the password, why should you bother changing it? I
mean they did you admin? It's fine exactly you know,
or just you know abc D one two three four.
I mean, there's nothing. People people make fun of me
because I still have on my Instagram I still have
(27:54):
some certain letters that are connected to a previous employer. Hey,
why take the time to change it? It works.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
There are many other ways that people make fun of you.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
But yeah, that's one. Has nothing to do with the
funny hats that I wear. All right, amazing? So what
other advice you have? So you talked about Clear? I just,
by the way, just a heads up that when I
just renewed my Clear recently, I wasn't sure which of
the credit cards I had used previously and I just
did a a search engine were a search and ask
(28:23):
which credit cards give you free Clear or free TSA
pre Check, and they're like ten popped up. Yeah, I
had one of those cards. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
And you could even go into the dashboard. Usually it's
the website because it has more landscape for you to
see and like American Express tracks, so say in American
Express Platinum cards gives you streaming credits per month, you
could actually go in and see how many credits I've used,
or how many dollars in that case, or have I
used my saxpith Avenue you know I used in the
first half of the year. I still had fifty bucks
before the end of the year. So a lot of
(28:52):
your credit cards will kind of give you that heads up.
And in addition, say you have a TSA pre Check
or a Clear or a Global Entry, you know, thing
to spend and the spend is usually once every three
years on credit cards, like once you spend it, because
you're only going to get a membership once every three
years or five years for pre check. So but yes,
almost every credit card at this point offers a TSA
(29:14):
pre check credit. And again, if you're a member of
a Delta, sky Miles, et cetera American Airlines advantage. You
also probably get a discount unclear or pre check, so
check those as well. It's a great way to also
get memberships for your entire family by using different credit cards.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, and also you get on those credit cards from
the airlines like I have United and Jet Blue. Can
you get certain discounts on drinks and food and whatnot
on those planes by using their credit card on the
plane to make a purchase. So, but a lot of
that you get a.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Lit Yeah, and check flight credits that you might have
if you got fumed from a flight or you cancel
the flight.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
May it expire expired?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Right, I've had that before and I saw four hundred
buck from a Delta sky Miles account go away, so right,
definitely check that and it make it, you know, set
reminders on your phone. I started doing that because of
all the different perks that you have to burn by
the end of a month or a quarter year. So
I started making reminders on my phone that I just
as I use the twenty five dollars resume credit on
my Delta Reserve card, I mark it off and then
(30:19):
it resets for the next month, and you should get
in the habit of that because for the amount of
money you're paying for your credit cards, in some cases,
you need to make sure that you're using all of
the perks to benefit the annual fee.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Right, that's one of the reasons you pay for that.
You are paying for it, you might as well take
advantage of the Benny's Leave brand table. No, absolutely not.

seven ten WR. We are coming right back.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
This is the Mark Simone Show on seven ten WR.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
In from Mark today.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Here's Ken Rosadas.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
So good to be with you once again. Last couple
of minutes here, if you want to give us a
call at eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten,
eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten, we
could squeeze in one more call in the meantime. I
don't know if you saw this. The MTA is crying
poverty once again, and they want to hike tolls and
congestion pricing once again to cover their budget gap, while
(31:49):
tens of thousands of people are still jumping turnstiles every day.
So unlike President Trump, who has covered the hole which
is the southern border by building the wall to prevent
illegals from streaming across, and now he could take care
of people who are here illegally and get some people
to leave on their own or deport them, the MTA
(32:12):
continues to bleed income because people just jump over the
turnstiles every day. They're doing nothing about it. They tried
to put up these little silly fins. It costs like
seven million dollars. Nobody I guess tested it, so people
are just jumping over those coming in free. And again
we're losing four hundred million dollars that we know of
(32:32):
a year and they continue to look to others to
make up the difference in money. Let's go to our phones,
Dan and Mary, good morning to you, Happy holidays.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
Happy holidays. Kind of pleasure talking to you. Likewise, Okay, listen,
I want to tell you quit it's about the city
and stuff and workers. I came from a friend of
mine that's a professional out here, a doctor. Now it's like, okay,
I just a regular doctor. But he had it for
me that a lot of his, well a lot of
police are going to be retiring at the end of
the year, a lot in the thousands. And he had
(33:02):
told me that a lot of them the last six
months have kind of been like hiding out.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, and that is we had to cut you because
we're down our last ten seconds here. But yes, don't
be surprised. You will see a massive decrease in the
number of police. And that's exactly what zoron Mumdani wants. Unfortunately,
New Yorkers are gonna suffer. You're gonna see crime go up,
You're gonna see homelessness everywhere. And this is what you
get when you vote super liberal Democrat folks. Unfortunately, Well,
(33:29):
thank you so much to Mark. Thank you to war
for letting me sit in today. I'm Ken Rosotto. I'll
be in for Larry Mente on Monday morning. Don't Go Anywhere.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
So good to be with you. Happy on Friday, Oh,
happy holidays. Good to be here. We are more than
halfway through Honukah. Christmas, of course, is next Thursday. If
you have not done your holiday shop and yet, what
are you waiting for? Oh my gosh, you gotta get
off your button, do it. I know it sneaks up.
And it's funny when you hear people say, like on Thanksgiving, oh,
(00:28):
this is one of the short years. You know, the
difference in terms of days between a short year meaning
where Thanksgiving falls in November versus a long year. It's
like the difference of three days. Three days does not
make that much of a difference, folks. And Christmas does
not sneak up. It's on the same date every year.
It's just that it feels like it does anyway. But
happy Hanukah. Were about what It's Sunday or month Monday,
(00:52):
So last day, Sunday night, Monday, last day of Honkkah,
So happy Hanukah to everybody. Celebrate that as well. Hey,
Brandon digital expert Fisher will be here later this hour.
He has some really cool tech gadgets you can give
as gifts or buying for yourself if you still need
to for the holidays. Mark is off today again. This
is Ken Rosato. Lots to talk about. Please excuse my laryngitis.
(01:15):
Tis the season for that, especially with the weather that
we had overnight and last night and right now. A
what confusion in the Brown University case. The suspect in
the Brown University mass shooting, Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, now
appears to have killed himself. Valente is a forty eight
year old former Brown student and Portuguese national. He was
(01:38):
found dead from self inflicted wounds at a storage facility
in Salem, New Hampshire. They believe he shot himself in
the head. They found him at the scene with a
satchel to firearms and evidence that matched the crime scene. Now,
investigators say they don't know why Valente targeted the university.
He went there apparently for a year in the early
(01:58):
two thousands. I don't know why he went back to
do what he did and why he would have shot
a students or two in this case, a number of students,
two of them died. But official say Valente is responsible.
That's what they believe, and that he also killed an
MIT professor at his Massachusetts home fifty miles north of Brown.
(02:19):
And they say they're still working on a motive, but
that he may have known this guy. They may have
studied in Lisbon, Portugal together. They may have even been
roommates at one point. Nevis was admitted into the US
legally under a very liberal diversity dv ie visa program
that appears to be totally out of control. It's also
(02:40):
called the Green Card Lottery. It was meant to diversify
the US, because clearly we are not a diverse nation.
Fifty five thousand people take part in this lottery each year.
But the Homeland Security Secretary Christinome now says that she
is recommending to President Trump that they scraped the program.
Of course, we'll find out more in the next few days.
(03:02):
The whole investigation has been rather sloppy by the folks
in Rhode Island, but we'll we'll see what they come
up with in the next few days. Seven ten wor
the Voice of New York. Hey, how about this, I'm
sure you heard this this week. The FBI did not
believe that agents had probable cause to execute a search
(03:25):
warrant at President Trump's mar A Lago estate in August
of twenty twenty two, that, according to internal records released
yesterday by Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, actually wasn't yesterday, It
was Tuesday by Chuck Grassley and confirmed by FBI Director
Cash battel so Now. An ETBI official noted that agents
(03:46):
had spent six weeks trying to establish probable cause and
that they were counterproductive. Grassley also claimed that there are
emails and other documents proving that a miscarri of justice
occurred against Trump. You'll recall agents turned on their lights
and sirens before swarming the complex like there would be
(04:09):
people in there firing back at them or something. They
even entered first Lady Malania Trump's bedroom. They had a
shoot to kill order. So if any of the Secret
Service agents that were guarding Trump, because remember he was
the former president at that point from the twenty fifteen
to twenty sixteen election, there was a shoot to kill
order that was given by Merrick Garland. I mean the
(04:31):
man should be holed off in cuffs for that. This
is crazy. You don't have probable cause. And then instead
of saying go in there, peacefully. You give a shoot
to kill order, What is wrong with you? It's just
a sick man. The other thing they did, a professional
safe cracker later helped access items in Trump's office, broke
into his personal safe, and also apparently they rated baron
(04:54):
Trump's bedroom. They went through all his drawers as well.
Former President Joe Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland ultimately the
one to sign off on the search over the objections
of a number of people at the FBI South Florida
US District. Judge Eileen Cannon later dismissed the case entirely,
ruling that special Counsel Jack Smith was never legally appointed
(05:17):
to begin with because he required congressional approval. But yet
they let him get away with five years. Five years
of spending over fifty million dollars of your taxpayer money
and literally haunting everybody who works for the Trump administration,
hurling accusations left and right. It nearly cost Trump the
(05:38):
twenty twenty four election, and yet nobody's being held a cannibal.
How the hell is that possible? Every one of them
should be locked up for this. This was all false,
and now that we know there was no probable cause
give me a break. They hauled Jack Smith before Congress
and he insisted, he insisted that he had evidence. But
(05:59):
when they asked him, well, what it's your evidence? Nothing,
ziltch zero nada. Nothing that's to borrow from the great
late Great Russia. Limba, he used to say, ziltch zero nada.
There was not one conviction made in five years. But
yet he bankrupt a number of people who had to
hire defense attorneys and literally burn through all their life
savings to do what to literally defend themselves for having
(06:23):
worked for the previous administration. This is obscene. That's why
when I hear the Democrats in quote unquote mainstream media
say that Trump is politicizing the Justice Department. Really, you
guys have a PhD in politicization. This is what you
did for years. You literally terrified people on the right
(06:44):
for years when there was no reason to do so.
And here you guys practicing the psychological method of projection.
You guys were the ones to actually politicize and actually
unjustly use the so called Justice Department against people who
were innocent. Remember all the times that Adam Schiff swore
(07:05):
to the press that he had groundbreaking evidence proving there
was Russia, Russia, Russia collusion against President Trump. He kept
promising to present the evidence, and he never did. All
the times he said he had this evidence, he never did.
Why did mainstream media never hold him accountable? Why did
they always run up to him like a bunch of
asses and stick Mike in his face? And anything he
(07:28):
said was gospel? Anything that Schiff said was gospel. And
then the people of California reward him by electing him Senator. Really,
the guy lied to you for all those years and
you elect him, Senator. Well, if there was so much
evidence shift the shift, why didn't you present it. This
is part of the strategy of the left. This is
(07:48):
part of Mao's little red book. It's all about painting
the other side. Even if you know it's bs, you
know it's a lie, just keep saying it over and
over again and eventually people will believe. That's the left's playbook.
Seven ten wr the Voice of New York Hen Rosatto
with laryngitis along filling in for the Great Marximon Today.
(08:10):
Our number is eight hundred three two one zero seven
to ten. Well, good to see that President Trump has
filed the lawsuit against the BBC for ten billion dollars.
Do we expect that he'll get ten billion? No, do
we expect he might get one hundred million maybe, And
you know, he'll do what he does best. He'll distribute
it to charities or maybe put it into his presidential library,
(08:33):
something that President Biden can't say that can be done
because he hasn't raised a penny for his presidential library.
And if you look at Obama's presidential library, they're basically
out of money and it looks like just the most
disgusting iceore ever. So Trump is going to have, I'm sure,
a gold dripping beautiful presidential library. And it's going to
be in downtown Miami. By the way, what a great location.
(08:54):
It's right by the river, right by the shore there
to Miami. Pardon me. This is the area near the
Freedom Tower that the Cubans revered so much. Cuban Americans
down there, it's just a great spot. So apparently the
British broadcaster BBC, they said that they had accidentally left
(09:17):
a mistaken impression that President Trump called for violent action
before the storming of the Capitol in twenty sixteen. Well
in a forty six page lawsuit filed in Miami federal court.
Trump accused the BBC of defaming him and violating Florida's
Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. He demanded five billion
(09:38):
for each of two offenses that he says they violated.
The president's legal team said the lawsuit is meant to
hold the British network accountable for his for its wrongdoing,
and of course it'll send a message to all the
other leftist morons who do the same thing. You'll recall
what the BBC did. They edited together two separate portions
of President Trump's speech to supporters on j January sixth,
(10:00):
twenty twenty one, portions that were actually spoken nearly an
hour apart.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
We're gonna walk down to the Capitol and I'll be
there with you, and we fight.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
We fight like hell.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
We're gonna walk.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Down to the Capital.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
And we're gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen
and women.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Now do you think there's any difference there? They edited
together the first bite that we call it a bite
in TV and radio. The first sound bite, the first
sound bite with the edit makes it sound like we're
gonna go down to the Capitol. We're gonna fight fight, fight,
So in other words, we're not gonna accept the outcome
of the election. That's what that suggests. Meanwhile, what actually
(10:50):
was said was we're gonna march down, we're gonna do
so peacefully, and we're gonna cheer on our congressmen and women.
Quite a difference. But yet the scenario, the narrative that
was painted by the left for years was the Trump
started the riots and he wanted he wanted to overthrow
the government. None of that happened. None of that happened.
(11:11):
It was in their crazy leftist minds, and they kept
repeating the same lie among themselves and their leftist bubble,
and so this narrative became truth in leftist circles. Again,
as I mentioned in the last story, this is what
the left does. Tell a lie, and if it doesn't
exist formal lie, create a lie and say it over
and over and over and over again until the narrative
(11:34):
is bought, and even mainstream media starts repeating it as
if it's truth when it's not. Well, the BBC insists
there edit was not defamatory, it was an accident. Then
why'd you do it? Why did you need to edit
a twenty one second sound bite. If it was like
two minutes, I could see. I know there are time constraints.
It was twenty one seconds. Why would you need to
(11:56):
edit that. We use twenty one second sound bites and
TV and radio all the time. It was because they
were trying to paint the narrative, folks, And that is
why the BBC fired their two chief people, the two
people in charge of the entire network, who basically would
have had their job for life, but they got led
or I'm sorry, they resigned on their own. That was
translation for if you leave on your own, will give
(12:18):
you a million dollars and you could go live in peace,
or will fire you, take you to court and you
get nothing. So they left on their own. Well, the
edit was responsible for a false Democrat narrative. Like I said,
that nearly cost Trump the twenty twenty four election, and
it is disgusting that they did it. But they got
away with it until now. Hopefully they will lose this
lawsuit or settle out of court if they're smart, and
(12:41):
President Trump can give that money that he will get
to a good conservative charity. Seven to ten w o
R The Voice of New York A laryng Jeitick Ken
Rosatto in for the great Mark Simone today. I hope
Mark is enjoying his holidays. Ah, the two faced Kathy
vision my lips trying to get over the oversized caps
(13:02):
in my mouth right now. I'm sorry, that's mean. She's
getting tough on your behalf. Now. See she is now
demanding that con Edison explained to her why they are
warning customers there may be rolling blackouts through the year
twenty twenty six. She acts like this is a shock. Hey, Kathy,
how about when your liberal predecessor, Andrew Cuomo ordered the
(13:25):
perfectly fine functioning Indian Point Nuclear Power plant to shut
down without a replacement. That eliminated twenty five percent of
all the power generating capacity for the entire region. At
the same time, you open the floodgates to a million
illegals in New York, declaring New York a sanctuary state. Well,
guess what. A million people use a lot of resources.
(13:47):
They live in homes, taking away those homes from citizens
looking for place to live. They clog highways at times
day and night. Their kids jam our classrooms and cost
us billions in school breakfast, lunch, and dinner programs, and
guess what else, Kathy, They flush toilets what ken, Yes,
that adds to the pressure of our water and sewer systems.
(14:08):
If you don't believe me, ask a plumber. A building
has an approximated capacity of toilet flushes per apartment, and
when all of a sudden, there are three times that
number of people living in an apartment, that puts a
strain on the system. Too much water is drawn and
too much water is flushed. Then come the AI companies,
cloud storage facilities and tens of thousands of these liberal
(14:31):
electric vehicles plugging into charge up, and you get rolling blackouts.
Kafee duh. How about having the illegals go home to
wherever they came from and building more reliable nuclear or
fossil fuel electric generating power plants, Miss Buffalo, I mean
this is not brain surgery, folks. This is an easy fix.
These problems are caused by liberals, but they shrug their
(14:51):
shoulders and then immediately blame somebody else for what is
their own fault. I mean, the same thing happened in
New Jersey. The reason why we've had two years of
twenty percent power increases is because Governor Murphy and the
Democrats in Trenton order the shutdown of six perfectly good
power plants because they're evil fossil fuel and one of
(15:13):
them was a nuclear plant, So you order them shut
down before you have new green plants built. What do
you get your short power? Now? The demand is high
because of AI and cloud storage and all the illegals
eight hundred nine hundred thousand illegals in New Jersey too.
The demand is high, so the cost per kilo out
of electricity goes through the roof. This is why it's
(15:35):
not because we're part of this regional grid. The whole
grid is impacted when you add millions of people whom
you don't account for. But again, this is what the
Democrats do, and they guise it as compassion. Meanwhile, screw you,
you citizen, tax paying moron. Middle finger to you. Just
keep paying us, and keep electing us, and shut up
and mind your business and do what we tell you.
(15:56):
Keep voting Democrats, folk folks, and that's what you get.

ben for Mark today. Here's Ken Rosatto.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Had a very good time to you, good holiday time.
Let's go right to our busy phones. Vincent and Brooklyn,
who I'm sure will give me a good tip on
what did you about my laryngitis?
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Uh Ud Male and de Tayey exactly born natali Ate
a borano Ate and KEIVORSTRICARTI.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Thank you and to you as well, Happy Holidaysry Christmas,
Happy New to you and your friend.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Well, what I would like to tell your audience is
beware of scams out there because and also download the
app from your banks because recently, my my checking account
was scammed in October, but I didn't get the printed statement.
It was scammed towards the end of October, but I
(17:41):
didn't get the printed statement until December one, a couple
of weeks ago, and I went what And I looked
on it and what somebody actually did They put in
the withdrawal for my count as a pre approved with Raoral.
Now I reedially called it my back. I said, hey,
you know me, I don't do auto pay with anyone.
(18:04):
The only ones who will electronically cash your check are
a utility company because they don't send somebody down to
the bank. But this person who ever did it, made
a big mistake. Because the anti fraud police are on
the case. What they did was I don't know how
they got not only my checking account number, but like
(18:27):
the eband number, all the numbers that are at the
bottom of your check besides your account. And with this
fool did I know the person's name, And I'm not
going to say it because the investigators gave it to me.
What this person did was they bought something and they
(18:47):
paid their bill. They must have had bad credit because
there are these companies that you buy something from one
of their pull your prove vendors and they they'll they'll
advance to credit on it and then you have to
pay them.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It can because it's through a secondary person.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Exactly. So this fool, this fool used the money that
they pilfit from my account to pay their credit card
bill with this. With this, it's not master Card or
anything there these these third party companies. It's not master
Card and it's not Visa. And my advice to anybody
(19:28):
is beware of these companies. That's all I could say.
And this fool made a mistake of pretty big several
thousand dollars can's paying off their bill with my pilfit money.
And so, Vincent, did.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
You get your money back? At least did they give it?
Speaker 4 (19:46):
Yeah, I'm with God. Actually I'm sitting at my desk
and I'm rebalancing my checking account.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Hey, here's my advice to anybody who tries to rob
from Vincent. I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Exactly. Then, when I had to, not only I had
to make a police report, when I spoke to the
bank examiners, because when you go to the bank, they
send you to they call up there, insurers and everything,
and they backtracked the account all the activity. And the
person did it at eleven fifty nine PM, right before
(20:20):
the start of a new day. And so the bank
examiner says, do you know so and so this person
that did it? I said no, and so I also, Vincent.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I mean to cut us, but we got news time.
But listen, I'm just glad you got your money back.
And again a merry, merry Christmas, Happy New Year. God
bless you and your family. And we will definitely be
checking in. I'll be in on Monday, so call us
during the Larry METI Show METI in the morning. We'll

a gift, or maybe we want some cool tech gadgets
to buy for ourselves. Brand and digital strategist Fisher, who
(21:26):
can be found at at Fisher on X and Threads
and at Fisher dot Media. We say Merry Christmas, good morning,
and welcome to the Mark Simone Show.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Good morning, Ken, how are you ah?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Little larynge I just okay? Otherwise it's gonna say you
sounded great. It's my Brenda the Caro impersonation. That's what
it is. So what are some cool tech gadgets that
we may not know about this year for the person
who's into cool tech stuff?
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Absolutely? First, I'm going to just mention that if you
have a child or a teenager, Nintendo Switch to Mario
Kart bundle is still on set well at Walmart. You
can get it at Target, so you can still get
these gifts, right. But some cool things, as you mentioned
insta three sixty Link two. It's a webcam four K resolution,
DSLR quality, noise canceling and this is the great part
(22:16):
tracking and framing. So if you're sitting in front of
your computer during doing zoom calls. It's one thing and
you can have like a fixed camera if you will right,
but this camera, if you have to get up to
do presentations, it will track you, so it'll follow you
if you stand up, it'll zoom out, zoom in if
you move around to whiteboard, things of that sort.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
So great, great camera.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
It's only about one hundred and fifty bucks, which is
pretty reasonable, and you could get it at insta three
sixty dot com. How about a drone anti gravity a
one drone. Get this eight K video on a drone
obstacle avoidance so you don't run into a tree of
building your house your dog. Six mile range comes with
a headset, grip controllers, so you're kind of playing it
(22:56):
like a video game and then you're looking at what
the drone sees in the ed said. Comes with a battery,
a carry case, a carrying case.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You could get that at.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Best Buy and something for the grandparents, maybe your parents.
Ten inch Wi Fi enabled digital photo frame. It's great.
You can update the pictures. You can, you know, take
them from your phone and upload them into the photo frame.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
That's at best By.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
It's only about fifty nine bucks, but there's plenty of
deals also. Think of things like accessories, AirPod Pro threes,
Pixel Buds Pro twos, the Apple Watch or Pixel Watch,
or even just something simple like a tablet or laptop stand,
privacy screens, and there's plenty of things. You can go online,
you can order it and then just go pick it up.
(23:36):
You don't have to, you know, go through the store
and you know, sit in the aisles with everybody else
that's looking for last minute gifts. You can do a
lot of it online and then just pick up on
the stores, so you're not worried about the shipping.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
That is awesome. Seven to ten wore the Voice of
New York, Hen Rosanto, went from Mark on a Friday,
smack dab in the middle of the holidays. Right now,
of course, we have a few days left of Hanukah,
Christmas is only six days away, and we're speaking with Fisher,
who can tell you all about everything tech and he
has some great advice here for us. So now you've
(24:08):
also talked about before going out shopping or even doing
shopping online, to get credit cards for cash back and
deals before you add to the store. So talk about that.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Yeah, we talked about this on Black Friday and kind
of got a great response on it, so I'll mention
it again for anybody who didn't hear that. Show your
credit cards if you have one, basically you have cash
back rewards, you have reward points that you can get.
Capital One has Capital One offers, amex offers, Bankamera deals,
even discover Card has cash bonuses. And the point of
(24:37):
mentioning this is before you go to the store, check
the app, check the website of your credit cards and
see if you go through the link in the app
that you get an extra five percent off or you
get an extra ten thousand membership rewards points. A company
like Capital one there credit card, they actually have an
extension for your browsers, so as you go to websites,
you don't have to keep track of all of it.
It will tell you. It'll say, hey, there's an offer
(24:59):
here for five percent cash back if you use your
Capital one card. Rakuten is a great resource as well,
and they have a browser extension you can use, and
that's fantastic. And I also want to mention that if
you have a credit card or anything, really look to
burn your perks by the end of the year. A
lot of your credit cards offer perks like TSCA free
(25:22):
check Global Entry, Clear Membership. You know they'll cover the
cost if you just sign up a Rezi so Rezi
is an online restaurant reservation and American Express offers one hundred
dollars a quarter if credit you got to burn that
sacks fifth avenue credit on an American Express. Think airline
incidental credits too. As you travel, make sure you bring
that credit card that you're gonna be able to take
(25:43):
care of the baggage fee or the lounge fees, drink
tickets in your airline app if you get those through
your credit card, and think of things that you wouldn't
normally think of, meaning a Clear membership has discounts, so
check the Clear app and you get a discount on
Uber one or forty nine dollars off or ring. And
then also, of course, you know your Starbucks point expire
(26:04):
at the end of the month, Dunkin Donuts, whatever it is.
This is the end of the year, not just the
end of the month, it's the end of a quarter,
it's the end of the year. So think of those
because all of this will expire by the end of
the of the next week right, so two weeks from
now actually, and so you want to burn all these
points because you're paying, in some cases a large annual
(26:24):
fee on a credit card. Make sure you take advantage
of it.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Wow, that is all amazing advice. And I know you
have this all on your website, Fisher dot Media. So
if anybody saying, wait, this all sounds great, but I'm
driving and I can't write it down, don't worry about it.
You can do that. You can check it out there.
Let me ask you, did you get all your holiday
shopping done?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Absolutely not, but there are great deals and it's great.
Like I was thinking about for my mom, and there's
such great deals on televisions now two hundred three hundred
dollars for seventy five inch TVs at Walmart, Costco, Best Buy,
pick a store. It's easy to walk in and grab
one of those deals. So I feel confident now. If
(27:02):
we talk on Tuesday, I will feel less confident. But
as of right now, going into the weekend, I'm feeling good.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
This is this is amazing. So Fisher comes on our
the show that we do in New Jersey, and Fisher
always has this great advice and almost inevitably I will
ask did you do this for yourself and say no.
So Fisher's great at giving advice, but terrible at doing
it himself. He's do as I'd say, don't do as
I do.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Except for the password stuff. You're the one with password
one two three four as your passwords?
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Well thanks for sharing.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Well, I mean you get it on TV.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I figured it was open listen. I think if if
the company gives you the product with the word password
as the password, why should you bother changing it? I
mean they did you admin? It's fine exactly you know,
or just you know abc D one two three four.
I mean, there's nothing. People people make fun of me
because I still have on my Instagram I still have
(27:54):
some certain letters that are connected to a previous employer. Hey,
why take the time to change it? It works.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
There are many other ways that people make fun of you.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
But yeah, that's one. Has nothing to do with the
funny hats that I wear. All right, amazing? So what
other advice you have? So you talked about Clear? I just,
by the way, just a heads up that when I
just renewed my Clear recently, I wasn't sure which of
the credit cards I had used previously and I just
did a a search engine were a search and ask
(28:23):
which credit cards give you free Clear or free TSA
pre Check, and they're like ten popped up. Yeah, I
had one of those cards. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
And you could even go into the dashboard. Usually it's
the website because it has more landscape for you to
see and like American Express tracks, so say in American
Express Platinum cards gives you streaming credits per month, you
could actually go in and see how many credits I've used,
or how many dollars in that case, or have I
used my saxpith Avenue you know I used in the
first half of the year. I still had fifty bucks
before the end of the year. So a lot of
(28:52):
your credit cards will kind of give you that heads up.
And in addition, say you have a TSA pre Check
or a Clear or a Global Entry, you know, thing
to spend and the spend is usually once every three
years on credit cards, like once you spend it, because
you're only going to get a membership once every three
years or five years for pre check. So but yes,
almost every credit card at this point offers a TSA
(29:14):
pre check credit. And again, if you're a member of
a Delta, sky Miles, et cetera American Airlines advantage. You
also probably get a discount unclear or pre check, so
check those as well. It's a great way to also
get memberships for your entire family by using different credit cards.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, and also you get on those credit cards from
the airlines like I have United and Jet Blue. Can
you get certain discounts on drinks and food and whatnot
on those planes by using their credit card on the
plane to make a purchase. So, but a lot of
that you get a.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Lit Yeah, and check flight credits that you might have
if you got fumed from a flight or you cancel
the flight.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
May it expire expired?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Right, I've had that before and I saw four hundred
buck from a Delta sky Miles account go away, so right,
definitely check that and it make it, you know, set
reminders on your phone. I started doing that because of
all the different perks that you have to burn by
the end of a month or a quarter year. So
I started making reminders on my phone that I just
as I use the twenty five dollars resume credit on
my Delta Reserve card, I mark it off and then
(30:19):
it resets for the next month, and you should get
in the habit of that because for the amount of
money you're paying for your credit cards, in some cases,
you need to make sure that you're using all of
the perks to benefit the annual fee.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Right, that's one of the reasons you pay for that.
You are paying for it, you might as well take
advantage of the Benny's Leave brand table. No, absolutely not.
Brandon digital strategist Fisher who can be found that at
Fisher on X and threads and at Fisher dot media

Fisher dot Media. Thanks for coming on this morning, sir
(30:51):
Mary Chris, Merry Christmas again, thank you. Some morning rain,
even some thunder. It'll be very windy all day, becoming
partly cloudy later. Highs in the mid fifties again, very
very windy. Wind advisory in effect. Ken Risotto went from
Mark on your Friday one eight hundred three two one
zero seven ten one eight hundred three two one zero
(31:12):
seven ten will squeeze in a call or to next
seven ten WR. We are coming right back.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
This is the Mark Simone Show on seven ten WR.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
In from Mark today.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Here's Ken Rosadas.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
So good to be with you once again. Last couple
of minutes here, if you want to give us a
call at eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten,
eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten, we
could squeeze in one more call in the meantime. I
don't know if you saw this. The MTA is crying
poverty once again, and they want to hike tolls and
congestion pricing once again to cover their budget gap, while
(31:49):
tens of thousands of people are still jumping turnstiles every day.
So unlike President Trump, who has covered the hole which
is the southern border by building the wall to prevent
illegals from streaming across, and now he could take care
of people who are here illegally and get some people
to leave on their own or deport them, the MTA
(32:12):
continues to bleed income because people just jump over the
turnstiles every day. They're doing nothing about it. They tried
to put up these little silly fins. It costs like
seven million dollars. Nobody I guess tested it, so people
are just jumping over those coming in free. And again
we're losing four hundred million dollars that we know of
(32:32):
a year and they continue to look to others to
make up the difference in money. Let's go to our phones,
Dan and Mary, good morning to you, Happy holidays.
Speaker 5 (32:41):
Happy holidays. Kind of pleasure talking to you. Likewise, Okay, listen,
I want to tell you quit it's about the city
and stuff and workers. I came from a friend of
mine that's a professional out here, a doctor. Now it's like, okay,
I just a regular doctor. But he had it for
me that a lot of his, well a lot of
police are going to be retiring at the end of
the year, a lot in the thousands. And he had
(33:02):
told me that a lot of them the last six
months have kind of been like hiding out.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, and that is we had to cut you because
we're down our last ten seconds here. But yes, don't
be surprised. You will see a massive decrease in the
number of police. And that's exactly what zoron Mumdani wants. Unfortunately,
New Yorkers are gonna suffer. You're gonna see crime go up,
You're gonna see homelessness everywhere. And this is what you
get when you vote super liberal Democrat folks. Unfortunately, Well,
(33:29):
thank you so much to Mark. Thank you to war
for letting me sit in today. I'm Ken Rosotto. I'll
be in for Larry Mente on Monday morning. Don't Go Anywhere.
