Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now the Mark Simone Show on seven ten woor filling
in for Mark. Here's Ken Rosatto oh Man, Ohman. The
day before the big Feast. Mark is off at a
long weekend. Good for him. Former New York City TV
news anchor Ken Rosatto reporting for duty. And you'll probably
best remember me. I did twenty years, twenty years having

(00:21):
a great time anchoring the Morning show Channel seven here
in New York. Before that, I was on the Morning
Show Channel five. And these days I host a daily
show on a New Jersey based news channel. It's called
on New Jersey ONANJ dot com. You could stream it
live anywhere in the country. It's New Jersey focus, but
it has all the Tri State stuff too. Onj dot com.

(00:44):
I'm on every day there and I run a food
website for all you foodies called the Food Dude. Thefooddude
dot us check it out. Hundreds of free recipes that
I put on there, in thousands or hundreds of thousands
actually from all over the world. And we've got a
lot to talk about today. But being this is the
day before thanks to Giving, I'm not only a guy

(01:04):
who does news and politics but also food. Because of
the Food Dude so feel free to talk Thanksgiving. We
don't have to keep this a hardcore political show. I
know Marcus like saying, Ken, keep it on, keep it on, politics, Mark, Mark,
you enjoy your day off. I'm going to welcome in
some calls about Thanksgiving, turkey, stresses around the holiday table,

(01:25):
politics and family. Whatever you want, open it up here.
Eight hundred and three two one zero seven ten. Do
you have a cool recipe you want to share, because
I'm going to talk about them. We want to hear
about it. What about your family traditions at Thanksgiving? Do
you always just have a turkey or do you have
a turkey and something else or something instead of a turkey?

(01:45):
You know, being an Italian American, we always have you
have to have lasagna. It's just Lasaigna is a man
made turkey, Okay, it's sort of constructed frank in parts,
and then you get a lasagna. So but we always
have a you know, you have alasagna, then you have
the turkey if you have room for turkey. But tell
us what you think and what your family tradition is.

(02:06):
I know a lot of folks do mac and cheese.
We heard that earlier on MENTI in the morning, eight
hundred and three to two, one zero seven to ten.
Well Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy ticked off some people while
getting cheers from a lot of others, including me. Don't
know if you heard him, but he asked people to
consider dressing a little more appropriately when taking flights.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly.
You know, I see people getting on the airplanes. They're
having a hard time taking their luggage and getting in
in the oversize or above band. Help people out, be nice,
be courteous, and so we want to push people as
we come into a really bad busy travel season, help
people out, be in a good mood, dress up, bring

(02:49):
civility back to travel, and I think everyone's experience is
going to be that much better.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
And he's right. I fly every couple of weeks because
I live equally between New Jersey and Fort Lanndale, and
I go back and forth, and depending on the time
of my flight, I cannot tell you how many people
I see boarding the plane looking like they literally rolled
out of bed and intend to go back to bed
when they got on the flight. Dirty hoodies, dirty sweats,

(03:17):
They literally look half asleep. Their hair is a mess.
Maybe they didn't brush your teeth. I know, I'm sorry
to be gross. Like I usually catch the first fly
out flight out from a Newark Airport, and so it is.
You know, it's possible people rolled out of bed at
three am. They got their five am for the first
flight and they didn't brush your teeth or whatever. It's gross.
It's gross you were in public around other people. But

(03:39):
I know the attitude today from so many is I
don't care what people think. Okay, it's not about that.
Have a little self pride. How about that you want
to be seen looking disgusting and having people kind of
it's just nasty. I've seen people the minute they get
on the plane, they get down to their socks or
bare feet. That grosses me out because then they walk

(04:00):
to the to the lavatory barefooted. You know, when you
walk into a bathroom on a plane, it's all sticky
with urine that splashes, and it's nasty. You want your
bare feet to touch that. I've watched them sit on
their bare feet where they get especially young ladies, they
kind of sit on their feet on their chair, on
their seat, and so they got their bare feet and

(04:20):
they're touching their bare feet. I'm sorry to be on
the foot thing, but it's like now you're going to
touch other things and shake people's hands and stuff. No, no,
learn a little, learn a little decorum. And then the
grossest was about six months ago when I saw this guy,
not kidding, clipping toenails in their seats. I know, I'm
is he Your engineers looking at me like, shut up,

(04:42):
ors out of change it, change it. I'm telling you
it's nasty. I've seen people change their baby diapers on
the pull down table. That's where someone's going to put
their food the next flight. So all I'm saying is,
like Sean Duffy said, and he didn't get into this
gross detail, try to act more civilized. That's all. Just
a little more civilized in society. Think of other people.
Would you like to sit down at a seat where

(05:05):
somebody else had their bare feet? So then don't do it.
To the next guy, call and share. Maybe you have
a nicer story than that. Eight Edward three two one
zero seven ten. This is seven ten w R. The
Voice of New York Ken Rosotto Infra Mark. Well, I'm
sure you heard by now about US District Judge Cameron
McCowan Curry, the radical leftist activist Biden appointee who threw

(05:28):
out the James Comy and Letitia James indictments. Her argument
was that the prosecutor was no longer legally in power
as a prosecutor, so the cases had to be dismissed
on a technicality. So immediately tiss James and James Comy
took victory laps. All arrogant and the ms now types,
all the liberals with the with the you know, the

(05:51):
ear rings through their nose and the pink hair looking
like five hundred pounds like they're on their last breath.
Maybe they maybe they should rethink their joy because the
cases were dismissed without prejudice. Listen to the law professor
Jonathan Turley, listened to what he had to say.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Letitia James took a bit of a victory lap after
this decision, and I think she missed the two words
that followed dismissal. And there was dismissal without prejudice. So
the Trump administration, even if they lose on appeal, could
seek out a new indictment. This is not over for James,
or call me. The judge specifically said, I am not

(06:35):
going to grant your motion to dismiss with prejudice. I'm
going to allow them to cure this problem.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
So what that means is it's going to take time,
but the government's going to come back after them. If
call me and James want to ensure the charges will
be refiled, keep gloating, keep gloating. That will ensure that
you will go back to court and next time every
I will be dotted and T will be crossed. So
the Trump administration plans to first appeal the activist judges

(07:03):
decision to the Fourth US Circuit Court of Appeals that's
in Richmond, Virginia. That used to be considered kind of
a conservative stalwart court, but in recent years it shifted
a little more left. So they have a shot at that.
If that doesn't work, they will refile the charges and
this time they'll do it with a different prosecutor and
it will go through because the case is Look, you're

(07:25):
innocent until proven guilty. But certainly the case against Letitia James.
You have documents that she signed that it was unquestionable.
I mean Mark was talking about this yesterday. I heard
him talking about it yesterday. You signed a document that
says you live full time in a residence in Virginia,
and that gives you a lower interest rate on your mortgage.

(07:45):
That's a federal crime. And you get a lower insurance rate,
and you get lower taxes from the local municipality in
the state. So now you are lying to three institutions
using a federal instrument, and you are the Attorney General
of the state of New York. You're not just some
average schmo. So you know how to read a contract? Okay,

(08:07):
how do you defend yourself against that? And on top
of that, to become the Attorney General of New York
you have to live in New York. So how could
you have Virginia as not a residence but your primary residence?
So I'd like to hear you know. Instead, what Letitia
James immediately does is says, this is a Republican trick
and a conspiracy. No, just answer the question did you

(08:28):
sign that document? And if you did so, why, and
then how about the other documents at the other houses.
She has all the other houses she allegedly did the
same thing in So you have to scratch your head
and say, you are the attorney general at the very
least you should you should be out on a level
playing field with everybody else. She's trying to be above
the law here. And remember the Democrats kept saying about Trump.

(08:49):
No one is above the law. Seven ten wr the
Voice of New York. This is Ken Risotto in for
the wonderful Mark Simone and joining his day off. And
in New Jersey, my beloved state of New Jersey. New
Jersey lawmakers have introduced a bill that would ban ice
agents and other law enforcement who interact with the public

(09:10):
from wearing masks or what they call disguises. The bill
would still allow undercover officers and those wearing shields and
don't cover their faces. If the shields don't cover their
faces or medical masks that's permitted. Violators could face fines
of up to one thousand dollars and they could get
up to six months in jail. Senator Benji Wimberley, I

(09:32):
love it. Listen, don't name your kid Benji, because your
kid's going to grow up to be an adult male.
And how would you like to be fifty five years old?
And people say, hey, Benji, it's just not an adult name.
Just think about that, you know, I'm just saying, but
Senator Benji Wimberly said that he's concerned that masked officers
might intimidate immigrant communities, and he said that criminals could

(09:53):
impersonate ICE agents. Okay, really, then here's what I would
say to the ICE ICE senior officers. Tell everybody that
the officers are wearing medical masks, and in that case,
then you can't say that they're violating local law. But
more important than that, technically, because these are not technically

(10:16):
in actuality, because they are federal agents. And we have
something called the supremacy Clause in the Constitution. The state
or local governments can enact all the laws they want.
They do not apply to a federal agent. As long
as a federal agent is following the orders and following
federal law, you can pass all the local laws you want.
And if you try to touch that ICE agent, you

(10:38):
will have your ass holed into jail yourself. So I
guarantee I know a lot of New Jersey State Police officers,
I mean a lot, and they would not follow that order.
You know how, the little cadra of elected officials put
out that internet meme in the last week saying if
you are a member of the military, you do not

(10:59):
have to follow ill legal orders. Well, I say the
same thing now to the New Jersey State Police, and
I don't have to because they're well aware of it.
If New Jersey's legislature, which is all far left, radical
leftist liberals, if they enact a passive bill and the governor,
the new governor, Governor Mikey, if they sign that into

(11:19):
law and it says that you must arrest an ice
agent wearing a mask, I guarantee those state police will
say no, no, you go ahead and arrest them yourself. Senator,
I'm not going to arrest them because they know that
under the supremacy Clause of the Constitution, you, as a
state police officer in New Jersey, could be hauled up
against the wall and have your butt cuffed and taken

(11:41):
to federal prison if you try to stop a federal
agent from doing their job. Just a fact. If you
doubt me, or if you have an alternate opinion, try
and debate it. Go ahead, and I'll cite you the Constitution.
In fact, let's just do it right now, save you
the time. Okay. It's a direct violation of Article six
paragraph to US Constitution, which has quote a state or

(12:02):
municipality cannot pass a law that interferes with the execution
of federal law or the duties of federal agents. So
maybe the good state senators missed that day in school
in New Jersey. In our eleven o'clock hour, we will
speak to congressional candidate Billy Prempe, he is a Republican
running for Congress in New Jersey's ninth congressional district, about

(12:24):
the foolishness of states or local municipalities trying to pass
what are obviously symbolic laws that cannot be enforced. Seven
ten wore the Voice of New York Ken Rosanto in
from Mark the day before Thanks to Giving. Oh man,
do I love Thanksgiving? By the way, here, I remember
I told you I was going to talk about food.

(12:44):
For a second, I'm talking about food. I used to
work with the beautiful and awesome Laurie Stokes at Channel seven.
Remember Laurie. She is, by the way, off air, as
nice and as beautiful as on air. She is just
She's one of my closest friends in the world. And
Laurie is the type person if I don't talk to

(13:05):
her in a year, which isn't the case, but if
I don't talk to her in a year and then
I talk to her. It's like we've been talking every day.
Just a great lady. She is also one of the
best daring cooks you'll ever encounter. The food of if
you ever find yourself in that situation, it's delicious. She
taught me a recipe for stuffing that kicks a button.
I'm gonna talk about it through the show a little bit,

(13:26):
but I got to share that. In fact, it was
on my show that I do in New Jersey. We
taped it yesterday so I could put it on the
air and still come here. But the key is layers
of flavor. And Laurie takes She takes three types of breads.
She would take like rye bread sour dough, and like
a whole grain chunk type it in type, cut it

(13:48):
into chunks, toasted off with herbs like fresh stage tons
of fresh rosemary and a little melted butter. Toasts that
in the oven and then put that in a bowl
and add add some sauteed onions with garlic, a splash
of a stock that's reduced, and then bake that off
in the oven with more butter and more herbs. I'm

(14:10):
telling you it's crazy, But what she does is instead
of adding sausage, she takes dark meat like chicken thigh
meat and shreds that and puts that in. Because you're
in the poultry theme, you roast that off in the oven,
or bake that off in the oven and serve that.
I'm telling you it's the best darned stuffing. Somebody wants more,
a more detailed recipe, you could reach out to me

(14:31):
on Instagram, find my Instagram account, Ken Rosotto on Instagram
there and you'll you'll see that. Or or on Facebook.
I'm Ken Rosotto on Facebook too, and I will give
you this specific recipe. But it is good. Seven ten
