Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now more of the Marximone Show on seven to ten
wor filling in for Mark here again is Ken Rosatto. Hey,
good to be with you. Let's go straight to the phones.
Peter in the Harlem, Good morning, you're on the marximone show.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yes, good morning. It's a pleasure to listen to you.
I have a comment. New York is dead. The fact
is that the stores are all run by people that
are unfortunately from other countries, so when the developments come in,
they can kick them out right away. The East Village
it's tine of town. Harlem is another. I mean, what's
going on and they want to blame it on crime,

(00:35):
but it's not crime, it's greed. Do you have any comments, sir?

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, I agree. I don't think you're wrong at all.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Sir.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Look I here, I've lived in or around New York
City my entire life, with maybe a three four year exception.
I was in Miami. I'm fifty eight. I went to
grammar school, high school, college here, so I know what
to talk about. I've seen it go through all the
different iterations and it's almost sound recognizable right now. The
thing is you need somebody who is a leader, who
will take charge of the city and change things. We've

(01:02):
seen it go bad and then go good, and unfortunately,
I think we chose the wrong guy to change that.
But I appreciate the call and I don't disagree with you.
We go to David and Queen's Good morning.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
Hey, Ken. I've been listening to radio for over forty
years and there was a caller up to forty years
ago who predicted everything that's going on, and he's largely
been blocked now. But I think it's high time to
give some credit to Jimmy from Brooklyn.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
I remember listening to him. I mean he was on
Bob Grat years ago. I think that was like one
hundred years ago. He was yeah, oh, there we go.
He gets a shout out there. Let's go down to
North Carolina. Kathy, good morning, Hi.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
Can we really appreciate when you fill in for Mark.
Thank you you're a jelly guy. I haven't heard anybody
talking about this. I'm going to bring it up. Jimmy
Kimmel lost his best friend who is his bandmate, a
couple of days ago, and he was on a show
with a beautiful tribute for him, and it was very moving.

(02:00):
But I just wanted to throw in there, what would Jimmy,
what would you feel like if people went on the
air and started mocking your friend's death or mocking the
wife of your friend, or his children, or his mother
and his father who were there with you in the studio,
Like he just needs to get a clue of how

(02:22):
irresponsible that was and how rude. And now that it's
happened to him, somebody close to him has died tragically,
maybe he should, you know, think a little bit about
what he did to Charlie Kirk's family.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
And yeah, that's a very good point. Go ahead, I'm sorry,
let me finish your I'm sorry, Well, no, I'm.

Speaker 4 (02:42):
I just want to but I'm I'm going to take
a high road and I'm going to show some grace
to Jimmy Kimmel and I'm going to give him my
condolences and my thoughts and prayers, which he never wants,
of course, but I just I just hope. I know
this isn't going to get to him, But I just
want everybody to collectively think, if you're in those shoes,

(03:03):
you know, to be a little more careful. And it's
pretty obviously should have never done that, Like he almost
lost his job over it, which would have been great.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
And it wasn't only Kimmel, a lot of people who've
done that. And again it comes down to a dichotomy
of the left versus the right. There's just a whole
different Yes, I'm going to paint with a very broad brush,
but the left tends not to be into the religious stuff.
The right does tend to be a little bit more
into religion. Not we're talking about gradations of color here
in terms of religion non religion. The left tends to

(03:32):
be less empathetic. The right tends to be more empathetic.
The you know, the left is all about a show
and about being able to say they feel good about somebody,
but the right actually practices it. So yeah, there is
a difference there, and I think you're spot on with that, Kathy.
In fact, that harkens back to the old you know
saying that that we heard from. I'm saying I'm forgetting

(03:54):
names now, Hello, former the FBI or the current FBI
Deputy director Dan Bongiom. My gosh, it's what happens when
I run out my coffee. Dan Bongino again saying that
Republicans think Democrats are good people with bad ideas, and
Democrats think Republicans are bad people. Jimmy Kimmel xample. Is
that right there, the idea that you can make fun
of Republicans dying because you don't consider them good people,

(04:19):
whereas we would never do the same to them because
we consider all people's lives precious. Stare in South Carolina,
Good morning, You're on seven to ten.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
Wr Hey Dan, how are you? We've spoken several times.
You know, I've been an officer forty eight years. What
ma'am Donnie does not know could fill an encyclopedia. This
man is an idiot to think that social workers can
go to a seat. We have lost I think four
or five officers in the last six months going to
domestics and they were ambushed and killed even before they

(04:48):
got to the front door. This guy is out of
his ever loving mind, and him, coupled with Alvin Bragg,
is going to be the seventh circle of Hell in
New York City. I cannot believe for the life of me,
ken people put these two people in office.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
And you know, Stuart, what's crazy. What's crazy is people say, well,
New York will learn, No, they won't learn. And here's
why New York is such a turnover of humans. I
think three quarters of the people currently living in New
York did not live here ten years ago, so that's
a huge junk of people. So as a result, it's
not like people could say, oh, remember back when we
elected that person, because I think a lot of those
people aren't here, so they don't understand. You know the

(05:26):
old adage about those who fail to learn history or
doomed to repeat it.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
We're repeating it right now.

Speaker 5 (05:33):
Sure, yeah, real quick story. We had a mental patient
and I had a rapport with him, and any time
they dealt with him, if I was on duty, they
would call me and the officer Stuart, how are you
you know? That was nine times. The tenth time he
tried to kill me and kick the windows out in
my patrol cars. This is a ticking time bomb dealing
with these people and you do not They want an

(05:56):
officer to go with them, which defeats the entire purpose
what they claim. It's just insane.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
It's like when they tell an officer, don't aim at
the chest, aim at their foot. No, when you shoot,
you shoot right. They don't understand then you'll miss and
if you're trying to protect yourself. That's it. So what
I hate to cut us off. We got to get
to the news. But I always appreciate your call, my friend.
Thank you very very much, and thank you for your
service as an officer.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
We appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Seven ten WR. The time is ten thirty three, and
right after the news, we'll speak with financial strategist Steve
Cotton about how the economy is looking now and what
you can be doing to safeguard your money.
