Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now the Mark Simone Show on seven ten. Woor Rellian
from Mark. Here's Ken Rosotto and am very happy Halloween
to you. The end of the week is here. Mark's
off on a long weekend. Former New York City TV
news anchor Camerasata n And I was the morning in
Midday TV news anchor for twenty years, Hey on Channel seven.
(00:21):
I did the same thing over in Channel five before that.
These days, I host a daily show. It's a New
Jersey based news channel that I'm on. It's called on
New Jersey appropriate right. You could stream it live or
you could watch the rerun of our shows at ONNJ
dot com on New Jersey ONNJ dot com. I also
(00:41):
run a food website for all new foodies. It's called
the Food Dude. Links to hundreds of thousands of recipes
all over the world. It's free and it is at
Thefooddude dot us. Good to be here with you. We
got a lot to talk about today to wrap up
the busy newsweek, but we want to hear from you.
The phone lines are open one to eight hundred three
two one zero seven to ten. Massive flooding in New
(01:04):
York and the tri State yesterday did you get caught
in any of that? Man? Oh man, the wind, the storm,
it was like a nor'easter, but it wasn't. I guess
officially it wasn't a nor' easter, but nonetheless a huge front.
We had one to three inches of rain, depending on
where you were. But some of the low lying areas,
like we know southern Brooklyn, the coastal areas, they were
under feet of standing water and people in basement apartments
(01:27):
got really flooded. At least two people have died that
we know of, so our prayers for them. Just awful,
awful rain. And speaking of awful rain, awful news. In Jamaica,
Hurricane Melissa causing at least fifty nine deaths that we
know of so far, because it's possible that as they
(01:47):
get through all the destruction, the devastation, they may find
more people. Just widespread destruction. A mother talks about how
she's helping her children through the disaster. I tried to
be strong with them, and what deep inside I'm crying.
I'm really really crying. What your slight hid it. We
(02:08):
will survive, we will survive, we will survey it. Amen
to you, and I mean amen to that. Just an
awful storm that was a Cat five Category five hitting
Jamaica at one hundred and eighty five miles an hour.
I think it's it's ranked the worst, if not one
of the worst storms to hit Landfall in terms of
power in the Atlantic. It's just amazing. Back at home,
(02:29):
the mayor's race continues to tighten. But is it too little,
too late? Here were the three candidates at a recent debate.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I am the last person on this stage that mister
Trump wants to see as mayor.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I am Donald Trump's worst nightmare, as a progressive Muslim
immigrant who actually fights for the things that I believe in.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Oh, if you believe Andrew Como, who's calling up Trump
all the time, I'm going to stand up to him
and Doammy. I'm going to stand up to him. You
stand up to President Trump, who controls all the money.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Guess what we the citizens lose now. Andrew Cuomo was
on with Larry Minty on MENTI in the Morning today.
He recently received an infusion of some cash one and
a half million dollars from former mayor and billionaire Michael
Bloomberg through a political action committee. The question, again, is
is it too little, too late Now, three polls were
released this week and they show the Cuomo has improved
(03:22):
his chances, but that was only four days to go,
so it looks like it's going to take a miracle
at this point. The closest poll is I guess the
Quinnipiac University poll, and that one is showing Cuomo within
ten points of mamdanni. And while lot's of nice improvement,
you remember, it only takes one vote, that's it. If
mam'm donnie has one more vote than the next person,
that's it. There's an Emerson College poll that has mam
(03:45):
donni twenty five points ahead of Cuomo, and the Marist
poll has mum donnie sixteen points ahead. So I don't
mean to be the negative Nelly here, but I don't
see how it gets pulled off. Nonetheless, you never know,
because not everybody goes voting for mayor. You have a
lot of people who sit it out, go and vote.
You may surprise yourself and everybody and change things. So
(04:07):
we'll see where it goes. By the way, recent survey
shows that that get this, sixty nine percent of anyone
under the age of fifty in New York supports mam
donni yeah. Let me let me repeat that. Sixty nine percent,
so nearly seven and ten of all New Yorkers under
(04:29):
the age fifty and under. Now it's not twenty an
under or thirty and under fifty an under, as I
like to say, they should know better by then they
support Mam Donnie. So at this point, all you on
the right, I say we should sit back, get a
bag of popcorn, and watch as New York implodes with
liberalism and socialism because it doesn't work. It has failed everywhere,
(04:52):
it's been tried. Everything that Mamdanni wants to give you free, free, free,
free has to get paid for by someone from somewhere,
and that money doesn't exist. And you can't have rent
control you know where he comes in, it takes over
and freezes rent. That is done by the rent Control Board.
That's state law. You can't just come in and say,
(05:12):
well I'll sign a mayoral proclamation. Well good luck with that.
It's not enforceable. So this is going to be interesting
to see. And by the way, everybody was like, yeah,
we should freeze the rent. Yeah, I wish we could.
The problem is the city keeps imposing all these rules
on landlords, so they have to maintain their buildings, which
is fine and they should, but that costs money. It
costs millions of dollars. People have this misconception that every
(05:36):
landlord is a billionaire sitting back counting their money, and
that's not always the case. In many cases, it's people
who inherit a building from a relative or whatever, and
now they have to maintain it or they have to
distress sell it. In the meantime, the city comes in,
it says you owe taxes, you have to keep it heated.
If there's anything that breaks down, you got to fix
it immediately. There are all these rules and rags. So yeah,
(05:57):
while there are some landlords who are very wealthy, many
are not. So don't don't paint with such a broad brushes.
What I'm saying seven ten wo R The Voice of
New York. It's Ken rozottow In from Mark HALLOUWENI Friday.
What are you dressing up as today? Phone lines are
open eight hundred and three to two, one zero, seven
to ten. There's a New Manhattan Institute poll that shows
(06:18):
it if Congresswoman Elise Stephanic from upstate New York. If
Elise were to run against Kathy Hochel for Governor of
New York. Stephanic would beat her right now by one point.
New York City may be blue, but the state is
definitely purple. So while poles are just a momentary snapshot
of opinion, it does show you that New York State
(06:38):
is very much up for grabs and the citizens are
just fed up with the status quo. Flip over to
the garden state, New Jersey. It's a whole different story.
Two poles two days apart have Mikey, Cheryl and Jack
Chiarelli a point apart, well within the margin of error.
This was him last night, by the way, during a
town hall that Sean Hannity had with Fox News Channel. Listen.
(07:02):
As he entered the room, let's go.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Hometown crowd, hometown crowd, it just became, it just became
a Trump rally.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
To that, Chitterrelly responded, No, it's a Chitterrelly rally, which
I thought was kind of interesting. Guy that left a
little silence in the room. Jackson, nice man. I've interviewed
him myself on my show several times and here actually
had him on here once while I filled in for
I guess no, while yeah, I filled in for Larry
that day. Hard to keep track, but he's a great guy.
(07:45):
We've invited Mikey Cheryl on this show when I'm in
filling in. We've invited her on the show I do
in New Jersey probably fifty times. You actually get, let's
just say, a negative response. They want nothing to do
with with having her talk to media of any kind
except for MSNBC, where they feel they'll have a friendly audience.
That's it. So we'll see what happens. You know, you
(08:08):
have till Tuesday. Early voting in New Jersey is through
this Sunday, so you can go and early vote till Sunday.
Otherwise Monday there is no voting Tuesday. You vote in
person and that's that. Then we'll I think Tuesday night's
going to be a very very late night. When asked
about the polls, Jack Chidarelli had this to say, especially
the early returns.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Our internal polling in twenty one, said that we had
a real shot this time. The internal polling says a
whole lot better. But listen, all I could tell is
wherever I go around the state, the energy is electric.
The reception of minority communities has been overwhelming positive and
when Democratic mayors across the state are endorsing in the
Republican nominee. It tells you we're on the summer.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Yeah. So there are four people in New Jersey who
either are still Democrat and endorsed him, or are These
are council members and mayors or actually left a Democrat
party altogether and joined the Republican Party and endorsed and
support him right now. So all the police unions are
all behind in the fire departments, they're all in support
of Jack Cheddarelli. When I said the early early polling
(09:12):
or early results, what I meant was the early voting
that occurred. Jack talked about the early ballots.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
We've seen the greatest number of Republicans returned vote by
mail ballots. That's a very very good sign. And they
went out in last third week of September, and we're
matching them voter for voter here in the six days
or five days of early voting that we've had thus far.
That'll conclude on Sunday. Listen, if we go into election
day within a certain number of points, we're going to
win this thing.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
And now, just because a larger number of Republicans return ballots,
that doesn't mean every single Republican is going to support
the Republican candidate. I many chances are they will, but
you know, you never know. So same thing for the Democrat.
Just because they were talking about, oh, Mikey Cheryl is
edging out Cheddarelli in terms of a return of the ballots,
(10:00):
we've got more Cheryl or more Democrat ballots coming in. Again,
that doesn't mean that they're all voting for Mikey Cheryl.
If they're all Democrats sending their ballots in, it could
go the other way. But overall, generally speaking, probably ninety
five percent or more will support their respective candidates and
their respective parties. Now, one thing I find that's interesting
if you go back four years this week exactly one
(10:22):
week actually before election day, four years ago, so a
little under four years ago, there was a Monmouth University
poll that had Governor Murphy eleven points ahead of Jack Chittarelli.
As is typical, all the polls tend to skew to
the left, and they always give a better showing for
whoever the Democrat is. But so even though the polls
(10:43):
showed Murphy was eleven points ahead just days before the election,
he only won by three points, so the polls were
off by eight. Well, if that holds true today, if
Chittarelli is behind or ahead, say just by a point,
or they're tied as the polls are showing right now,
generally has a real shot. He may even win by three,
four or five points. You never know, but you have
(11:05):
to have to have to vote. If your parents are
elderly and have difficulty getting to the polls, make sure
they have a ride. Okay, if you drive and your
friends don't, make sure they have a ride. Make sure,
no matter what, try to early vote if you can.
And if you want to go on election day, then
make sure you get there. Don't. I tend to say,
(11:27):
you never know. You could get stuck at work late.
You never know, you may wake up late. I would
try to early vote if you can between now and Sunday.
Don't take the chance. But make sure, no matter what,
whether it's New York City now or New Jersey, get
out and vote. And then the other thing I want
to ask all you folks in Jersey, don't just vote
for governor and call it a day. You have every
(11:49):
Assembly seat up for grabs, and there's one Senate seat
down south. It's to fill a vacancy. Make sure you
vote down the ballot, and if you want to send
a message and you are voting for the Republican candidate
for governor, vote A lot of people say, yeah, I
vote for Republicans for president and governor, and then I
vote Democrat for the local offices. Not a good idea.
(12:12):
Not a good idea because you end up causing gridlock.
You've had listen in New Jersey right now. The governor's
a Democrat, State Assembly, state Senate, the Supreme Court all
Democrat control, all of them. You have the top fifteen
cities in New Jersey run by Democrat mayor's Democrat administrations.
The top fifteen all right in New Jersey goes only
about nine and a half million people. You have both
(12:36):
US Senate seats occupied by Democrats, and you have nine
of the twelve Congress seats US Congress seats that are
occupied by Democrats. So you've already given Democrats a shot.
And New Jersey has the highest the energy builds in
the nation, some of the highest taxes, the highest cost
for pupil with not always the greatest return depending on
(12:56):
what district we're talking about. So if you are tired
of the expences and the regulation and allowing adult men
in girls' bathrooms because they wake up thinking they're women. Enough.
If you're tired of the sanctuary state and sanctuary city
status of New Jersey, stop voting Democrat. It's as simple
as that. It's like the definition of insanity. You keep
(13:19):
doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a
different outcome. Not get off try something different for once.
I was reading some of the blogs last night. It's
amazing how many people who were complaining about the cost
of energy and the cost of taxes and homes and
everything else, and they were saying, but vote blue. What
are you expecting to change? What do you think is
suddenly Mikey Cheryl is just a different person, And all
(13:41):
the people running for Assembly on the left are different,
They're all the same. Mikey Cheryl supported everything, Joe Biden
put up everything. So don't expect the difference if you
keep voting Democrat. Now. The Democrat shutdown is on day
thirty one. Senate Majority Leader John Thune says the Democrats
seemingly never wanted to end. It was also a disturbing
(14:01):
signal the Democrats are way to continue this shut down.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I guess forever.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well, there may be a solution. President Trump is suggesting
the Senate use the so called nuclear option. So right now,
when you have a spending plan that goes from the
House to the Senate, and it has to go in
that direction, it starts in the House, then a spending
plan goes to the Senate, the Senate must pass any
spending plan with sixty votes, okay, otherwise you could have
a filibuster. So you need at least sixty votes. Republicans
(14:29):
only have fifty three members of the Senate, so you
need those Democrats to help. Now. Right now, a couple
of Democrats have come across, but there are still five short,
so they need five more Democrats to make this happen.
All we're talking about is a continuing resolution, not a
spending plan. The continuing resolution would simply continue the spending
(14:50):
plan passed last year. That was Biden's spending plan passed
by Democrats. And all the Republicans are asking is you
continue it for four more weeks, But the Democrats don't
want to do it. Chuck Schuma got to put my
glasses at the tip of my nose when I say
his name to get in the mood. Chuck Schuma is
saying that no, we will not budge. Okay, Now tomorrow
(15:11):
you will have forty two million Americans not receiving Snap benefits,
so no food stamps. People are going to rely on
soup kitchens and whatnot, thanks to the Democrats. Because every Republican,
I think one, only one Republican in the Senate is
not voting for this. Everyone else has voted for this.
So it's the Democrats. This is the Democrat government shutdown,
the Schumer shutdown. Don't let them tell you otherwise, because
(15:33):
every Republican is trying to reopen the government right now.
Even CNN is showing that Americans believe this is the
fault of the Democrats. President Trump's approval writing has actually
gone up a point since the government shutdown has taken place.
Seven ten wo R the Voice of New York. Mark
has the day off. Kenras Outov filling in. We'll take
your calls next one eight hundred three two one zero
(15:56):
seven ten. Partly sunny today, highs mid fifties, just win.
Make sure you bundle up tonight for the trick re
treating and just a bit we'll speak with New Jersey
Republican state Senator Michael Testa about the federal Schumer Democrat
government shutdown on the fact that's starting tomorrow we'll have
eight hundred thousand New Jersey Snap recipients not getting their
Snap benefits. So that is a horrible thing. We hope
(16:19):
this can get resolved soon. The time now ten twenty
two will be right back

he only won by three points, so the polls were
off by eight. Well, if that holds true today, if
Chittarelli is behind or ahead, say just by a point,
or they're tied as the polls are showing right now,
generally has a real shot. He may even win by three,
four or five points. You never know, but you have
(11:05):
to have to have to vote. If your parents are
elderly and have difficulty getting to the polls, make sure
they have a ride. Okay, if you drive and your
friends don't, make sure they have a ride. Make sure,
no matter what, try to early vote if you can.
And if you want to go on election day, then
make sure you get there. Don't. I tend to say,
(11:27):
you never know. You could get stuck at work late.
You never know, you may wake up late. I would
try to early vote if you can between now and Sunday.
Don't take the chance. But make sure, no matter what,
whether it's New York City now or New Jersey, get
out and vote. And then the other thing I want
to ask all you folks in Jersey, don't just vote
for governor and call it a day. You have every
(11:49):
Assembly seat up for grabs, and there's one Senate seat
down south. It's to fill a vacancy. Make sure you
vote down the ballot, and if you want to send
a message and you are voting for the Republican candidate
for governor, vote A lot of people say, yeah, I
vote for Republicans for president and governor, and then I
vote Democrat for the local offices. Not a good idea.
(12:12):
Not a good idea because you end up causing gridlock.
You've had listen in New Jersey right now. The governor's
a Democrat, State Assembly, state Senate, the Supreme Court all
Democrat control, all of them. You have the top fifteen
cities in New Jersey run by Democrat mayor's Democrat administrations.
The top fifteen all right in New Jersey goes only
about nine and a half million people. You have both
(12:36):
US Senate seats occupied by Democrats, and you have nine
of the twelve Congress seats US Congress seats that are
occupied by Democrats. So you've already given Democrats a shot.
And New Jersey has the highest the energy builds in
the nation, some of the highest taxes, the highest cost
for pupil with not always the greatest return depending on
(12:56):
what district we're talking about. So if you are tired
of the expences and the regulation and allowing adult men
in girls' bathrooms because they wake up thinking they're women. Enough.
If you're tired of the sanctuary state and sanctuary city
status of New Jersey, stop voting Democrat. It's as simple
as that. It's like the definition of insanity. You keep
(13:19):
doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a
different outcome. Not get off try something different for once.
I was reading some of the blogs last night. It's
amazing how many people who were complaining about the cost
of energy and the cost of taxes and homes and
everything else, and they were saying, but vote blue. What
are you expecting to change? What do you think is
suddenly Mikey Cheryl is just a different person, And all
(13:41):
the people running for Assembly on the left are different,
They're all the same. Mikey Cheryl supported everything, Joe Biden
put up everything. So don't expect the difference if you
keep voting Democrat. Now. The Democrat shutdown is on day
thirty one. Senate Majority Leader John Thune says the Democrats
seemingly never wanted to end. It was also a disturbing
(14:01):
signal the Democrats are way to continue this shut down.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I guess forever.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well, there may be a solution. President Trump is suggesting
the Senate use the so called nuclear option. So right now,
when you have a spending plan that goes from the
House to the Senate, and it has to go in
that direction, it starts in the House, then a spending
plan goes to the Senate, the Senate must pass any
spending plan with sixty votes, okay, otherwise you could have
a filibuster. So you need at least sixty votes. Republicans
(14:29):
only have fifty three members of the Senate, so you
need those Democrats to help. Now. Right now, a couple
of Democrats have come across, but there are still five short,
so they need five more Democrats to make this happen.
All we're talking about is a continuing resolution, not a
spending plan. The continuing resolution would simply continue the spending
(14:50):
plan passed last year. That was Biden's spending plan passed
by Democrats. And all the Republicans are asking is you
continue it for four more weeks, But the Democrats don't
want to do it. Chuck Schuma got to put my
glasses at the tip of my nose when I say
his name to get in the mood. Chuck Schuma is
saying that no, we will not budge. Okay, Now tomorrow
(15:11):
you will have forty two million Americans not receiving Snap benefits,
so no food stamps. People are going to rely on
soup kitchens and whatnot, thanks to the Democrats. Because every Republican,
I think one, only one Republican in the Senate is
not voting for this. Everyone else has voted for this.
So it's the Democrats. This is the Democrat government shutdown,
the Schumer shutdown. Don't let them tell you otherwise, because
(15:33):
every Republican is trying to reopen the government right now.
Even CNN is showing that Americans believe this is the
fault of the Democrats. President Trump's approval writing has actually
gone up a point since the government shutdown has taken place.
Seven ten wo R the Voice of New York. Mark
has the day off. Kenras Outov filling in. We'll take
your calls next one eight hundred three two one zero
(15:56):
seven ten. Partly sunny today, highs mid fifties, just win.
Make sure you bundle up tonight for the trick re
treating and just a bit we'll speak with New Jersey
Republican state Senator Michael Testa about the federal Schumer Democrat
government shutdown on the fact that's starting tomorrow we'll have
eight hundred thousand New Jersey Snap recipients not getting their
Snap benefits. So that is a horrible thing. We hope
(16:19):
this can get resolved soon. The time now ten twenty
two will be right back
