Mark's 11am Monologue.

Ken Rosato fills in for Mark Simone. Ken addresses whether NY AG Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey are truly “off the hook” after charges against them were dismissed without prejudice and explains the meaning of this legal term. A new Rutgers University climate study projects that New Jersey could face a 3.8-foot sea level rise, raising flood risk concerns for the state.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now the Mark Simone Show on seven ten woor Filling
in for Mark, here's Ken Rosatto. It's so nice to
be with you the day before Thanksgiving, Mark and join
in ice long weekend. Former New York City TV news
actor Ken Rosado in the seat. I feel very privileged
to be in this seat. I always feel like when
I get up from the seat, I kind of brush
it off from Mark to make sure it's back to

(00:21):
the way it was. For those who may or may
not remember, I'll remind you I was at Channel seven
here in New York doing the morning and noon show
there for about twenty years. A great time there, and
then prior to that, I was a Channel five. A
lot of people don't remember. I did Good Day Wake
Up for about a year and before I went to seven,
but it was also a lot of fun. I still

(00:43):
have friends there and these days I work at a
New Jersey based TV news channel. It's called on New
Jersey and you could stream it live or watch reruns
that we do at o NNJ dot COMNNJ dot com
little shameless plug for my chain, and it's a good
time there too. I run a food website too for

(01:04):
you foodies, called the food Dude. You can check it
out at the food dude dot Us. The food Dude
dot Us. A lot to talk about today. I'm sure
you've heard about the US District Judge Cameron McCowan Curry.
That's the radical leftist activist Biden appointee. Does that sound
negative on my part? Who threw out the James Comy

(01:25):
and Letitia James indictments. And of course Komy, he's so smug,
He's so smug. But methinks James Comy is not going
to end up happy at the end, because even if
he doesn't get convicted of anything, I think the point
of the Justice Department's actions are to make it so
that James Comy spends so much money defending himself that

(01:48):
he will be bankrupt. And I think that's the point.
Does that sound malicious? Yes? Is it something the Democrats
have a PhD In doing it to Republicans over the years.
Apps so frickin' loutely, And it's about they get a
little taste of their own medicine. Same thing with little
tissue James. You know she thinks she's off the hook,
you know, Tish. Sorry, Tish, you sign allegedly signed all

(02:09):
these documents saying that you would have as your primary
residence your residence in Virginia when you are the attorney
general of the state of New York and must have
there's a residency requirement here. Than who are you lying to?
Maybe you should leave the position of Attorney general in
New York, right because technically you're saying that Virginia's your
primary residence, so you should leave your position. That's what

(02:30):
you're saying. You lied to somebody, Either you lied on
your documents in Virginia or you lied to the people
of New York saying that this was your primary residence
when it wasn't. So one has to give. You can't
have both simultaneously. They're mutually exclusive. And of course her
argument was that the prosecutor her the judge in this

(02:50):
case who threw out the cases. The argument was the
prosecutor appointed by Trump was no longer legally in power
because it was a temporary an interim appointment by the
Justice Department, so the cases had to be thrown out. Well,
before you get too excited, the cases were dismissed in
a way called without prejudice. To explain that is, the

(03:15):
big professor at George Washington University, Jonathan Turley, listen up.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Poleticia James took a bit of a victory lap after
this decision, and I think she missed the two words
that followed dismissal, and it 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

(03:42):
going to grant your motion to dismiss with prejudice. I'm
going to allow them to cure this problem.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
So this means the Justice Department can refile the charges
if they want to ensure Comy and James, if they
want to ensure those charges will be refiled. Keep gloating,
keep besmirching the Trump administration, you will guarantee or be
guaranteed that you will be back in court very soon.
The Trump administration apparently will first appeal the act of

(04:11):
as judge's decision to the Fourth US Circuit Court of
Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, which used to be considered kind
of a conservative court, but in recent years because of
Biden packing the courts with left wing extremists, on purpose.
It's not so much. It's more to the left. But
you know, the people who are in those districts who

(04:33):
would be on the grand jury, they tend to still
be a little right of center. So we'll see what
happens if it gets to that point. Seven ten wo
R The Voice of New York. It's Ken Rosanto in
for Mark and New Jersey lawmakers also have been busy.
They've been talking about all sorts of stuff. They want
to ban ice agents and other law enforcement who interact

(04:54):
with the public from wearing masks or disguises. There's a
bill that they introduced. It would allow undercover officers those
wearing shields that don't cover their faces or medical masks,
but they cannot wear something that specifically covers their masks.
It covers their faces rather not revealing their identities to
people on the street. And violators would face fines of

(05:15):
up to one thousand dollars and could get up to
six months in jail. But apparently they have not seen
something called the Constitution and the supremacy clause. So allow
me to read what the supremacy clause is. It's Article six,
paragraph two of the US Constitution. It says quote, a
state or municipality cannot pass a law that interferes with

(05:38):
the execution of federal law or the duties of federal agents.
So maybe the good state senators in New Jersey and
maybe they missed that day in school and our later
in this hour, in our next half hour, we will
speak with Congressional candidate Billy Prempa. He is a Republican
running for Congress in New Jersey's ninth congressional district, and

(05:59):
we'll talk to him about the foolishness of states or
local municipalities trying to pass what are obviously just symbolic
laws that cannot be enforced. And also in New Jersey,
funding for beach replenishment was eliminated in the fiscal twenty
twenty five federal budget, and that could spell trouble for
the New Jersey Sure only four of the twelve required

(06:20):
federal spending bills passed. The bill that would fund the
Army Corps of Engineers is now under continuing resolution thanks
to the Democrats. Without federal dollars, many New Jersey beach
towns are going to have to self fund erosion control
or look for another solution. Well, some local officials are
even looking into new erosion control systems that would be

(06:40):
less expensive, including offshore sand filled barriers. That's what they
do down in Florida, by the way, because if they
had to replenish the sand after every storm, they'd have
been bankrupt decades ago. So look to states like Florida,
Texas or even other countries where they're constantly figuring a
way to preserve their sand. So now question is, with
the Continuing Resolution still providing funding at last year's level,

(07:05):
why does New Jersey need so much more money in
this year's budget? I mean, seriously, how much more expensive
is it to preserve your shore this year versus last
Did the Army Corps engineers like jack up their prices?
You know, we didn't have a big event like Superstorm Sandy.
So why do you think it's going to be so
much more money this year to replenish your shoreline. It's
because democrats in a state like New Jersey are always

(07:27):
looking for more money, more money, more money, more money.
In their mindset, just can't get enough. It's his money,
money money, and it's about taking it from you and
giving it to me. If the state of New Jersey
wasn't wasting billions upon billions of dollars to pay for
the nine hundred thousand plus illegal aliens that we currently
know of, let alone the countless more that we and

(07:48):
I say week as I live in New Jersey. Not
counting the countless more that we don't know of, New
Jersey would have tons of extra money without having to
raise taxes. It's liberals in New Jersey who simply do
not put two and two together, nor do they care
to do so. To realize that if you want lower
electric rates, less congestion on highways, teachers who could take
better care of your child because there would be fewer

(08:11):
students per classroom, not to mention lower crime, stop voting
Democrat in order to change the state's sanctuary status so
as not to permit this huge number of illegal aliens.
And this is not an anti immigrant sentiment because my
family are immigrants. This is an anti illegal immigrant sentiment,

(08:32):
So stop conflating all immigrants with illegal immigrants. If the
immigrants were here illegally, they'd be paying taxes, they would
have Social Security numbers, they would be contributing members of society. Okay,
we would have kids that we could account for in
schools and with the additional local taxes the parents would
be paying. We could build more schools and hire more teachers,

(08:52):
but under the current federal law, we have to educate
every student who comes in, whether legal or not. If
they don't speak English, we have to hire teachers who
can speak multiple languages, and that costs even more. Plus
we have to provide two to three meals a day
at public schools for all students, including the children of
the illegal migrants, under the law. Liberals love to use

(09:13):
the word sustainable. Sustainable, Well, look, it is simply not
sustainable in the state of New Jersey when ten percent
of the current population is illegal. Think about that. How
staggering is that a ten one in ten people in
the state of New Jersey that we know of, that's
an absolute fact that we know of, is an illegal alien.

(09:36):
That is the approximate number, probably more than that. At
what point do we say enough is enough? You just
can't have an open door and let anybody in and
expect that it's not going to have a negative, deleterious
impact on our community. Do we stop when it's fifty
percent of illegal aliens? It's ridiculous. We literally have handed over

(09:57):
our nation to anybody who wanted it for the t taking.
And you could thank the Democrats and the Biden administration
for the last four years for doing that to us.
That's exactly the legacy of Joe Biden and the Democrats.
But yet they get rewarded for it because you have
liberal Democrats especially and I might let me let me
single out some groups tends to be white liberal women

(10:20):
who are like thirty thirty five and under. They specifically
they're like the largest group of hardcore Democrats who will
never vote anything else. I know you're going to say,
I'm a Republican kid, I read it.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
No.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
But when in terms of groups and painting a broad
brush there, that group seems to be like unapologetically Democrat,
you cannot even bring it up with that group. For
whatever reason, I think a lot of brainwashing in school
and on social media has to do with that. Seven
ten wo r the Voice of New York Ken Rosatto
in for Mark the phone lines are open eight hundred

(10:53):
three two one zero seven ten. Hey. There was a
New Rutgers University led climate study trying to ski the
dickens out of people into thinking New Jersey could see
up to a three point eight foot sea level rise
by the year twenty one hundred under current carbon emission.
By the way, whenever I do liberal talk, I'm going
to add a lisp. I have that prerogative. That number

(11:15):
could rise to four point five feet if ice sheet
melt accelerates. I'll tell you what. Let's give cows broccoli
to eat, and their farts will cause the oceans to
rise a bazillion feet. I mean, scientists warned. Can I
say farts?

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Okay, Mark doesn't say farts, does he? Okay, let's say flatulence.
I'm sorry, so rewind the tape. Is okay, good, So
we'll say flatchelo. Okay, replace the word farts with flatulence.
Good science has warned that flood risk is increasing rapidly
across the state, particularly for coastal and tidal river communities.
That's the quote they gave us from Rutgers. Now, it

(11:50):
should be mentioned that many environmental studies make these scary
predictions that can never be proven. Rush Limbay used to
talk about this, God Rest your soul, Rush, because by
the time this would come true, you and I are
going to be dead. Twenty one hundred. That's the year
twenty one hundred. Let's see I'll be one hundred and
how many years old. Not, so why don't we all

(12:12):
get together in seventy five years and see if it
was true. Every prediction these liberals, environmentalists, they've all made.
It has not come to pass, none of it. It
should also be mentioned, by the way, the organizations that
finance studies like this one at Rutgers only finance studies
that set out to prove sea levels arising and the
cause is human negligence. You do not get the financing

(12:35):
unless that is the premise. So in others, if I say, well,
I'll take a look at whether humans have an influence
on the environment and sea levels rising, you don't get
the money. So an organization like Rutgers says, okay, we're
going to set out to prove this is so, now
they get one hundred million dollar just making up the
number one hundred million. Now they get one hundred million.

(12:56):
They go out and they could finance whatever classes and
they could run these studies. But you have to have
that as the premis. So you start out on a
liberal premise. So just to qualify that's what you have
to say. It's unbelievable. Nowhere in the equation is whether
sea levels are actually rising? Are humans impacting sea levels?

(13:18):
Is carbon emission? Because these leftist radical scientists environmentalists are
convinced that humans are causing too much carbon to be
emitted and that the excess carbon is raising temperatures, and
the temperatures are melting polarized caps, and the polarized caps
melting or causing sea levels to rise. So they start
off with that foregone conclusion. Then they ask scientists and

(13:39):
collegists to reinforce their crackpot theories that can't be proven
by giving them lots of money they get from environmentalists,
wacko donors, and liberal government entities. Now, there are a
lot of scientists who don't believe those theories at all.
They believe climate is changing, but they don't believe humans
have a significant impact. Maybe a tiny one, but not
much because the climate has been changing way for humans

(14:00):
came and way after humans are going to be gone.
Climate has always changed. Just look at history, and there
is a way to do that by taking ice core samples,
et cetera. The Earth has gotten warmer, then it's gotten colder,
then it's gotten warmer, then it's gotten colder. Greenland perfect example.
The name Greenland is called greenland because it used to
be green. Now it's ice covered. So yes, there is

(14:21):
climate change, but humans didn't cause it because it turned
icy way before we had carbon emissions like this. There's
documentation all about it, but we could talk about that
on and on and on. Just don't take what the
liberals are saying seriously and always take these studies with
a grain of salt. Seven ten w R The Voice
of New York Mark taking a nice long weekend today,

(14:42):
Ken Rozotto filling and taken calls at eight hundred and
three to two one zero seven ten. Whatever you want
to talk about, politics, even Thanksgiving recipes, anything, and coming
up later in the show, we'll talk with New Jersey
Republican congressional candidate Billy Preppa about the Garden State's new
bill to make it illegal for ice agents to wear masks.
It's eleven twenty one wires what you're listening to, and
we're coming right back
