Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
For now more of the Mark Simone Show on seven
to ten wor filling in from Mark here again? Is
Ken Rosatto ever? Good to be with you on Halloween Friday.
Let's go right to our busy phones. Carlo in Queens,
you're on the air. Good morning to.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
You, Yes, sir, good morning. As for this socialist Mondami
character who's running for Maya, I might point out that
in the nineteen twenties into the early thirties, Hitler described
himself as a Democrat socialist candidate to run Germany, and
after World War Two the city of Berlin broke up

(00:36):
into two parts. East Berlin described itself as a socialist state,
a democratic socialist state, supported by the Russians, of course,
and their economy by nineteen fifty crash, losing a third
of its value. What are we to expect from Mundami?

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Well, you know, it just comes down to everything that
he is promising is not possible. It's just not possible.
But here's the frightening thing. Carlo and I talked about
this earlier. A recent poll showed sixty nine percent of
all adults of all people in New York City age

(01:14):
fifty and under, you hear me, fifth not twenty and under,
not twenty five and under, fifty and under nearly seven
and ten support mom, Donnie, do you hear that number?
So where the hell are forty nine year olds who
are so ignorant that they think socialism will work here
and that it as if it worked anywhere else on

(01:34):
the planet. Who are these people and where are they from?
And what kind of education did they have? That's what
really gets me. What are we paying for? Are we
paying to literally have socialists in teaching positions, in doctrinating
kids in the city, because that's what it's yours hell
looks like.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Jill McCarthy in the fifties wasn't wrong when he said
that the socialist communists are trying to take over america'e
still going on.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
That sure is, as it has been proven. And you
look at every major city in America. You know, you
talk about God forbid if there was ever another civil
war like we had in eighteen sixty, God forbid that
ever should happen. But this time out, if it did
ever happen, it wouldn't be North versus South. It looks
like it would be the urban centers, the cities versus

(02:20):
everything outside of the cities, because if you look, all
the cities seem to be of the same mindset, very
far to the left. But it's getting even more extreme
than ever before. I've never seen this kind of disparity
between left and right. It's if the person comes from
a larger city, they are of one political ILK, and
if they come from suburbia or real rural areas, they

(02:40):
are a totally different political ILK. It's just amazing.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Thank God for Trump. That's all I could say.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
All right, Carlo from Queens, I appreciate the call. You
have a wonderful day. Let's say, John in New Jersey, good.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Morning, Good morning Ken, How are you good sir? Either way,
the residents of New York City are going to be screwed.
It's if either it's Clomo or or Modami, they'd doom
because he was never a good governor. And of course
we know Modami is nothing more than a pure communist. Yeah,
so to say anything and everything to get to get elected.

(03:13):
He'll promise you utopia and what's going to turn out
is going to be disaster. The people of New York
have got to wake up and pay attention.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
They don't, well, you know, I blame my fellow members
of the media, the people here in media whom I
used to work with, the TV stations, they just don't
ask him the tough questions. He's their little pet.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
They won't.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
No, they won't, they won't. And this is where they fail.
And this, by the way, is why they're dying on
the vine. Ratings wise, they're dead. The broadcast TV stations
literally have thirty percent of the audience that they had
seven years ago. They're gone. No one's watching broadcast TV anymore.
And if you look at all the surveys, with one exception,
since President Trump was elected, Republicans now slightly more trust

(03:56):
national news than they did a year ago because all
you heard was phoning and negativity, fake news, et cetera.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
But the problem is, as long as you keep taking
sides local media, this is gonna happen, you're gonna lose
your audience. And this is why they are down so
sharply in ratings and they're they're closing up shop. You have,
you have news. I know a couple of news outfits
in the city that will not survive the next three years.
You'll you'll watch you'll see consolidation.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Of newscaps totally agree.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
All right, John for New Jersey, I appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Get it, get out there and vote for Jack absolutely.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
All right, my friend, have a good day. Happy Halloween.
Seven ten w o R. The Voice of New York.
It's Ken Rozotto in for Mark and it is Friday, Halloween,
and just a few we're gonna speak with Republican New
York City Councilwoman Joe Ane Ariola about the race for
mayor and what she thinks, if possible, Mom Donny Merrilty
will mean for New York City.
