In for Mark today, here's Ken Rosado.

And good to be with you. It's 1029 on your Thursday. And by the way, I don't know if you saw that NBC News announced that they began laying off about 150 people from the news division.

It's part of the spinoff of MSNBC into MS now or whatever they're going to be called.

But it always makes me sick. Whether they're liberal or not, look, I worked in the industry for decades, and I just wish well to my colleagues and just hope they all land on their feet. But it is time to check the phones right now. It's 8003217-10. W-O-R. We go to Jay in New Jersey. Jay, good morning to you. Hey, Ken, Hillary. I'm good.

You know, about a debate tonight, you know, what has to be made clear is that Zohar Mamdani has openly professed to hate America and.

Yes.

It arises why he wants to run for the, you know, to be mayor of New York City. And the answer is, obviously, he wants to run for the you know to be mayor of new york city and the answer is obviously

he wants to destroy it and i do not have faith in andrew quomo to make this to make this clear

to the people of new york city and that saddens me because if his own dandni gets elected you know

he's not hiding what he's doing you saw the fox interview, and that's just a preview to what you're going to see tonight. Look, there are people on the Internet, Jay, and only because we're short of time. I don't mean to step on you, but there are people on the Internet, anyone could say anything, but who have said, you know, and this is, it sounds very anti-Islam, and I am not anti-Islam here, because I have

many friends who are very faithful Muslims, but there are many who say, if you look at what

happened in all the European capitals, where you had people who were of the faith who came in,

and then they imposed the faith on many of the capitals and they're suggesting that that's what he is i

don't believe that uh but i do believe that he comes up from a different mindset that he comes up

with a very socialist mindset and unfortunately uh you know people are falling for it and that is

not the way this country was founded alan y Yonkers, good morning to you.

Yeah, hi, Ken.

Thanks for taking my call.

You know, I just wanted to say I'm a registered Republican, and I follow what's going on nationally and locally.

And I really think the Speaker is,

the Speaker Johnson is being irresponsible

by not even being in Washington.
