Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Mark Simone show on seven to ten
wor Ken Vermar Today. Here's Ken Rosatto 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 2 (00:16):
Good morning Vincent, Good morning Ken and bonifesta do ingraciamento day.
He on a tour for me.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Thank you, and he's a translation Happy Thanksgiving to you
and your family. Thank you and.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Santius exactly Ken. Ken. Also, they didn't even I don't
know if they filed the case in New York against
Latisha James, but she has a five family house here
and she listed 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 and have
(00:51):
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 to have bad bugs, and you have
to sign that doc. You have to go online and
(01:11):
electronically signed that document and resubmitted to the city. That's
next week.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
She's on she could get her easily in trouble in
New York if yeah, decide to pursue it. He is.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
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? And she
may have, I don't know. I'm asking did she pay
(01:46):
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 the state of
New York, you better follow the law yourself exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
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,
(02:22):
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 liable.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
For insurance, 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 2 (02:43):
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 greater liability on you on their party because
it has five units, and you're lessening the liability by
(03:04):
life it's say.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Hated as there's no question. Look, there's no question. There
was some dancing around fact. The issue is 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.
(03:26):
If you're going to be in public office.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Ken on all of the building registrations, it says are
you an agent for the landlord? Meanwhile, are 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 1 (03:45):
Hey, Vincent, get of it. If you did it, you
would be in jail in a heart right now. 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 different. Unfortunately, also she has.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
The legal slush fund here that Kathy Hkal set up
for 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 1 (04:17):
That's why I live in New Jersey. Vincent, you are
the best, my friend. Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you are.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Do you?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
By the way, I gotta quickly ask, do you guys
do a pasta with your turkey?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
No? Just only when my grandfather used to come home,
because he would he would he would do we'd have
a resigna and turkey. No, I just do I just
do a turkey.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
You're You're an a Mediguan. You're in a medigan all over.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
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 1 (04:52):
There you go, listen, enjoy it, have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
We will talk to you. I'm back on Friday for
Mark two, so I want to hear I would all one,
all right YouTube, Thank you, sir, oh Man, I love
talking Vincent and and robbed you too, and Franklin score
Happy Thanksgiving? How are you, sir?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Ken and you and your family.
You know, uh you and uh and and uh Laurie.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
You had you.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
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 1 (05:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
The thing is with with the cases with Tommy and
and and Letitia.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
They're both guilty.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
But the thing is like Pam Bondy was against uh
uh prosecuting call me, I mean she did. 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.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
They ex what did Trump expect.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, I was a real estate uh attorney to to
you know, and the time was running out. She got
you can indict a ham Sandwich. And and Ady McCarty
said on Fox about two months ago, he said, this
case will never go against Tom. He'll never go to front.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
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 Komi. Now, I grant that he probably has a
lot of money stashed here and there, but he probably
(06:32):
will 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 stuff where you said grand juri will never
(06:53):
indict 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.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
That It makes a lot of sense what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
More importantly, though, what are you doing for Thanksgiving? Are you?
And what does your family do?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
My sister, my sister has us aver 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 1 (07:21):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
We're Irish, mostly Irish, a little German, but you know
we're into the pasta with the turkey down with him.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
By the way, my friends, I'm not kidding about this,
and I mean no insult in my family. I had
my one of my dearest friends growing up. His name
is Bill Dirton Gerald. Give me a shout 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 made nobody's business. Something
(07:49):
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 3 (07:56):
God, God bless you, Ken, and thanks for bringing up
Laurie's name. You know, I just saw you guys were great.
You guys were great together on the news.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Thank you, Bill. Bill Evans had us all out in
the Hamptons a couple of weeks ago, so I was
out 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 Rizzotto Win from Mark the day before Thanksgiving.
A little bit later, we'll speak with financial expert Ron
Glasgow about how Americans plan to spend their money this
(08:24):
Black Friday. At least one survey suggests people plan to
spend less this year than last.
