Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now the Mark Simone Show on seven ten woor filling
in for Mark, here's Ken Rosatto. Yes, yes, yes, the
end of the week is here. Mark has the day off,
and it's good to be here. Former New York City
TV news anchor GUYE. Ken Rosatto in, and you probably
best remember me for the twenty years I spent anchoring
the morning show at Channel seven.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I was a Channel five before that.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Nowadays I get the host a daily show on a
New Jersey based news channel called on New Jersey. You
could stream it live or watch reruns at o NNJ
dot com. And I run a food website for all
you foodies, Thefooddude dot us. Thefooddude dot Us. We've got
a lot to talk about to wrap up this busy
news week. We want to hear from you too. Don't
(00:45):
just sit there, want you to pick up the phone
and call one eight hundred and three two one zero
seven ten. Hey, we got some sad breaking news out
of San Antonio, Texas. Police there are saying that there
was a twenty one year old illegal alien who fatally
shot three people just over an hour ago at what
may be his place of work. Now he and his family,
(01:07):
According to police illegally entered the US back in twenty nineteen,
and they were supposed to appear at a court hearing
in twenty twenty two, but authorities say they failed to
show up. Now three Americans are dead banks to the
Biden administration doing nothing about this guy in twenty twenty
two when he was supposed to be removed from our country.
(01:27):
But these things have consequences. Okay, it doesn't mean that
everybody who came here illegally is going to be a murderer, clearly,
most or not. But the thing is, when you lose
track of people, you don't know who they are, what
their background is, why they're here, and then you lose
track of them, things like this happen and you have
three tax paying, hard working, good US citizens dead because
(01:51):
the Biden administration let this guy in, lost track of him,
and now he ended up according to authorities, they say
that he killed three people they believe was his place
of work in Texas, San Antonio, seven ten wy. And
you know, we keep saying the nation is so polarized.
Now we may know for fact that it may be
because according to NBC News, they just conducted a poll
(02:15):
and check this out. The NBC News poll shows eighty
two percent of Republicans say they have friends who are Democrats.
When you ask democrats, do you have any friends who
are Republicans, only sixty four percent of Democrats say they
have a friend who's a Republican. And if you recall,
I've said this before Dan Bongino, before he became the
Deputy Director of the FBI, when he was a talk
(02:38):
show host, he used to say, Republicans think Democrats are
good people with bad ideas, while Democrats think Republicans are
bad people, and that's why there's no dialogue. That's why
they're so dialogue. Republicans, my Republican friends are always willing
to sit down and talk, and they don't get animated,
and they don't scream, and they don't go out with
(02:59):
green hair and those rings, protesting, screaming, burning police cars. No,
that is a feature of the left. The right doesn't
do that. It's just not part of the mo of
the right. If you have a disagreement, we'll sit down
and talk. I want to know what you have to say.
But unfortunately the left doesn't have that same opinion. Their
(03:20):
object is to shut you down because they need to
convince you of their way of life, of their thought process,
and as long as that's the case, there will be
no dialect. They don't want dialogue. They don't want dialect.
They want to shut you down, dispatch you if necessary,
in order to make their way of life the way
of life.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
And that's that.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So what did you think about this lunatic? On the
Upper east Side? If you haven't heard, there was a
guy with a gun who was killed in a shootout
with police after he apparently pointed his gun at a
guy in a building elevator. First, then he later ran
into a deli and he threatened to shoot up the deli,
then he to shoot up a hospital. Now cops ended
(04:02):
up shooting the man. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.
No word at this point what was going on if
he was mentally challenged. But this brings up Zorn, Yes,
mayor to be Zoran. You know all he'll tell you
back when you ask him questions about things like this
is gobbledegook.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Police have a critical role to play in creating public safety,
and I speak to those officers on the beat. I
hear a frustration from them that we're asking them to
do more than just focus on serious crimes. We're asking
them to do the work of mental health professionals and
so are nots, and that reliance on having them deal
with almost every failure of the social safety net is
making it impossible for them to tackle those crimes.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
No, just arrest them. I don't need, you know what.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
I don't need the police officer to sit there and
do a question and answer therapy period where he says, so,
how are you feeling right now?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
If a guy's breaking the law? All right?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Granted, you can't treat every situation the same.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
My dad was a cop. There's a gentleman who calls
from the Carolinas who's a cop.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I know. Listen.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I was raised with cops, raised with law enforcement, raised
with lawyers in the family and among friends.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Every circumstance is different. But a police officer, they have
a hard enough job and they don't get paid anywhere
near what they should. And as far as I'm concerned,
give them the tools and let them arrest and then
we'll deal with them later. If the individual being arrested
needs mental health, I don't need the cop to do that,
and I don't need to send a dime store psychologist
(05:28):
out to every crime and let them diagnose in ten
seconds somebody who has a knife andeness threatening to kill
their families or on. That's not the way it works, okay,
but that's the way this this socialist wants it to
be in this city. It's unbelievable. He wants to deploy
social workers instead of police to respond to nine to
one one calls like this. What would have happened if
(05:50):
a therapist showed up and this guy had a gone
and he's going threatening to shoot up a hospital with
a therapist have said, why don't we sit down and discuss.
I want to know what you're feeling. Yeah, you see
how that works. Actually, we find out that this has
been actually tested since earlier in the year and very
quietly tested. In fact, and published reports say that early
(06:11):
results of this program it's called be Heard. Yes, okay,
we know you have a gun and you're frustrated, but
I want you to be heard. It shows that it is
not a good plan. So Mamdani has proposed shifting one
point one billion dollars toward the Department of Community Safety
for this plan. Apparently, an audit was conducted in May
(06:32):
by the city Controller and it was determined this thing
is an utter failure. I mean, Mamdanni hasn't even taken
off as yet to put it into play, but we
know it doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Apparently, sixty percent of.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
The calls that came in for what would have been
mental health responses, they were deemed ineligible. And there are
a bunch of reasons why we can get into and
more than thirty five percent of the so called eligible
calls from mental health professionals never got a response. And
for this, mom, Donnie wants to spend over a billion
dollars of your tax payer money. Remember when to Blasio's
(07:06):
wife got this a billion dollars to Blasio had allocated
to deal with people who are homeless, and after a
couple of years we asked where did that money go?
And you couldn't account for it. They had no idea
and nothing was done. It's just a billion dollars. I mean,
come on, why do you think? And is this a bill?
What's a billion dollars these days?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Please?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Unbelievable. Certain people get a pass. Sadly, I think people
will get hurt or worse. You will see crime rising
all over the city. And now Zoran is insisting on
pushing to raise taxes for those free buses and childcare.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
You know, I've said time and again that I believe
these are the most straightforward ways that we can actually
fund universal childcare, making buses fast and free. And I've
said that the two clear ways to do so raising
personal income taxes on the top one percent by two percent,
and raising the corporate tax to match that of New
Jersey's corporate tax of eleven point five percent. Now, if
there are other ways to raise this money to fund
this agenda, the most important thing is that we fund
(08:03):
the agenda.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yeah, that's the most important thing, funding the agenda. You
know what the translation of that is, let's get money
out of people's pockets and into my agenda.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
That's what it is.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
So some bad news for Zoram Governor Hokol, who controls
the purse strings with the state legislature. By the way,
not you already said there is no money to provide
free buses. I cannot set forth a plan right now
that takes money out of a system that relies on
the fares of the buses and the subways. Oh and
as for that universal healthcare that you wanted to provide,
(08:35):
for free hokl also said there's no money for that, Zoron, sorry,
and she's repeatedly pledged there would be no increase in
taxes full stop. But mister Mumdannie is unrelenting.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
The most important thing is not how we fund it,
but that we fund it. I think these are the
most direct ways to do so. But any funding stream
that would fund these programs, that is one that we
would welcome.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Hmm, Well, it ain't happening. There's no money. You can't
pull like what do they say, you can't get blud
from a stone. And if you heard Larry MENTI I
listened to Larry every day, just heard him a little
while ago saying this. He said, if you can't get
money for the buses, and you can't get money for
the universal health care, we're gonna get the moundy for
the free supermarkets there, Zoron, it's not America. This is
not a communist state. And yes, when it gets down
(09:20):
to free, just walk in and grab stuff like it's
a CVS. And you will only arrest people who steal
more than one thousand dollars worth of stuff at a time.
This is no longer America. This is no longer America.
It's a system that cannot work. I love how the
left loves to use terms like sustainable. How is it
sustainable if people just walk in and take stuff for free,
and walk out to a bus and get on the
(09:41):
bus for free and drop off your kid. You're going
to trust someplace to take care of your child for
free and you have no say in what goes on
there when you're gone. Yeah, good luck with that, Zoron.
What happens the first time there's a lawsuit with one
of these free universal healthcare is because somebody's child accidentally
falls in, gets hurt or gets there's an accusation of abuse,
(10:03):
physical or sexual. What's going to happen then with this
free universal healthcare?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Z are on?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I'm just curious about that. Seven ten wo r The
Voice of New York one eight hundred three two one

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Mark has the day off.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
This is Ken Rozzatto in for him and what looks
like the ultimate middle finger to incoming anti Israel mayor Mamdani.
The current mayor, Eric Adams is off two Israel right now.
It's a final trip there as mayor of New York.
But of course, of all the places he could have gone,
he chose Israel. Remember, the highest concentration of Jews in
(10:40):
the entire world outside of Tel Aviv is right here
in New York. They are part of the backbone of
this city. That's why it is so shocking that a
man who has such anti Israel policies and beliefs is
now the mayor of this city. And remember, Mamdani has
threatened to have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin and Yahoo arrested
(11:01):
should he set foot.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
In New York.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Remember, though Zoron, that the Prime Minister would have diplomatic immunity,
and if you touch him, there would be an international
scene like nobody's business, and you would have to deal
with our federal government coming in guns of blason if
you touch the Prime Minister of Israel. So I'd almost
like to see Mayor Mamdani try it. I would love
(11:25):
to see him try it, because he would probably get
arrested as a result. Seven ten w R The Voice
of New York. So another leftist lunatic has made headlines
this week. This Tama guy showed up at the Newark
office of Acting US Attorney Alena Habba. This happened Wednesday evening.
The FBI says the guy originally he walks up to
the building. It's a secure building. He walks up to
(11:47):
the building with a big old bat, goes, you know,
up to the metal detector. Yeah, I want to come in.
First of all, it's after hours. Secondly he has a bat,
All right it's and third it's downtown New York. Good
luck with all three of those things. So apparently security said, ah, me,
thinks you'd better walk outside, dude, and he left, comes
back five minutes later, d like he was never there
the first time. This time he left the bat on
(12:09):
the sidewalk. And here's what's even more amazing. Security let
him in. Yeah, good idea. So the guy then went
to the floor where Miss Habba's office is and began
yelling incoherently and smashing property. It is unclear whether he
made specific threats against Miss Habba, but why else would
he go to her floor after hours and go to
(12:29):
her office. So the cops are now trying to find
the guy. Shouldn't be hard. Just look for the guy
with the bat.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Uh have you heard this?
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Sixth story wealthy so called sniper tourists. Yeah, listen up.
Sniper tourists allegedly paid ninety thousand dollars apiece to shoot
human beings during human safari trips to Sarajevo in the
nineteen nineties, and they paid an extra fee if they
wanted to shoot children. Listen to this insane This is
(13:02):
according to some crazy claims being looked into now by
Italian prosecutors. This is actually being thought of as really
happening because there are a number of people who claim
it did not just one. The investigation began after an
Italian writer reported that he uncovered evidence that wealthy gun
enthusiasts I guess had too much to do with their money.
They were dubbed sniper tourists. They paid Bosnian Serb forces
(13:26):
for the chance to gun down residents at random. During
the four year siege of the city. More than ten
thousand people were killed not by the sniper tourists, but
in Sarajevo by overall snipers and shelling from ninety two
to ninety six because they had the Balkan Wars. It's
not known if those numbers, though, include anyone who may
have been part of this alleged human Safari story. But
(13:48):
you know they're going to be looking more into this,
and that is sick if it is in fact true.
Seven ten war The Voice of New York Friday Morning,
Ken Rozzatto in for Mark and did you hear that
lawmakers in DC were making twenty grand each at the
expense of American taxpayers while the government was shut down
over the forty three days of Democrats wouldn't even consider
(14:08):
advancing the continuing resolution. Okay, it cost the economy fifteen
billion dollars a week, and by federal law.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
They had to be paid.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
The constitution actually demands it. Although a number of elected
officials did say they would forego collecting their salary, but
most collected. Yeah, think about that during that time. That's
why they had no problem letting it keep going on
and on while TSA agents and air traffic controllers and
people trying to collect their snap to feed their kids
didn't get their money. Pretty disgusting. And the likes of
(14:38):
CHUCKI Chuck Schumer were behind keeping the government shut and
by the way, the Democrats gained nothing from it during
that period. I just don't want to hear one. If
you want to set me off, tell me it was
the Republicans that kept the government shut. That's when I
lose my relatively cool demeanor and lose it at that
point in a big way. And we should mention Lady Gaga.
She did a story in ro Rolling Stone. She says
(15:01):
she is lucky to be alive. There's a story in
Rolling Stone that says that while she was filming A
Star Is Born back in twenty seventeen, she ended up
suffering a psychotic break. She says she had to do
the movie on lithium. Lady Gaga says that she had
to cancel Joanne World tour, which was scheduled right after
the filming. No word on what her situation is right now.
(15:22):
I have met her parents in the past. They're lovely people.
I only met her once, very briefly. Very cool person,
whether whatever you think of her life or whatever. One
of the most talented human beings you'll ever meet, and
comes from a very nice family.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
New Yorker's tried and true, all right, seven ten wo
r the Voice of New York. We want to hear
what you have to say, so definitely give us a call.
It's eight hundred three two one zero seven ten and
Mark took a nice long weekend starting today. We have
partly cloudy skies today, Tomorrow highs low fifties, maybe some
clouds and showers tomorrow night, than partly cloudy's Sunday, a
little milder, tempts in.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
The upper fifties.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
The stock mark took a big hit yesterday, and while
the economy is looking strong in some sectors, it may
not be translating to the average hard working folks.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Now.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Consumer sentiment for November is down, and we will speak
with financial strategist Steve Cotton about it. It is ten
twenty one seven ten woor.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
We'll be right back
