Summary

Ken Rosato fills in for Mark Simone. Did you know that, according to Governor Kathy Hochul, New York is now considered a sanctuary state? Ken discusses whether the U.S. immigration system is actually broken, offering a different perspective on the issue. He also highlights that New Jersey has been recognized as a sanctuary state and emphasizes the importance of entering the United States through legal and proper channels. Ken takes your calls! Ken interviews Matt Rooney, a conservative activist, attorney, and founder of SaveNewJersey.com. They discuss why mainstream media often fails to address misinformation from climate change advocates and organizations, and the importance of critically examining claims from all sides. Ken and Matt emphasize that opening the door to understanding opposing viewpoints is crucial for genuine learning. Their conversation explores how individuals from different political parties in the USA can work through ideological differences and find common ground.
