12
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,559

13
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 4: was being spent in the for the war, and all

14
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 4: I have to say is it's money well spent. And

15
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 4: how much money did they spend on all these endless

16
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 4: wars we had? What about the money Obama gave to

17
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,319
Speaker 4: the Iranians and the money that Biden gave and all

18
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 4: the pork that's always in every damn bill. And they're

19
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 4: worried about this. This is something that had to be

20
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 4: done because we would be getting hit. There you go,

21
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 4: just a matter of when and not if.

22
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,800

00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: this one thing that it's worth it. Hey, you know,

31
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: it's like a billion dollars a day in the Ukraine.

32
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: Nobody said a word. It's like year five. Nobody even

33
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: mentions it. Let's go to Chris in Manhattan. Chris, how

34
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: you doing, good morning, welcome.

35

00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,960

37
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: that they even the.

38
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: Republicans it actually just started.

39
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: So there's still hope that they're going to get it's

40
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:53,639
Speaker 3: actually underway.

41
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: There's no vote. You can't vote on anything. It's a

42
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: Justice Department investigation. Nobody gets there.

43
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: The Republicans aren't walking.

44
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: You'll block whatever you want to block whatever you want.

45
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't affect the investigation's done with the Justice Department. Okay, thanks, No,

46
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: there's no vote that would affect it. Let's go to

47
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: h Richard and Bay Shore. Richard, how you doing, Thank

48
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: you morning.

49
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 5: Mark. You know, the President's I did of ensuring the

50
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 5: ships transli into the war zone is great, but when

51
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 5: taking a step further and try to develop an American

52
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 5: version of Lloyd's me.

53
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: Well, that we have that. We have that. In fact,

54
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: that's what the President said he'll do. If if you

55
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: can't get the insurance companies come in, we'll it. We'll

56
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: just insure them, which is easy to do. We'll we'll

57
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: insure the tankers and then escort them through. But expect

58
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: it to happen later this week or next week. They'll

59
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: start bringing tankers through. And once the tankers start moving

60
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: through with the oil, you'll see prices coming right back down.

61
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: Let's go to Roberta in Queen's Roberta. How you doing, hi, Mark?

62
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: You know the demonstrations in front of Grating mansion. Why

63
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: didn't they tend.

64
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 5: Social workers instead of belief?

65
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, that's right outside your house. Terrorists with bombs. Yes,

66
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: send a social worker to discuss it with him. So

67
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: good point. Thanks for calling mom. Donnie still talking about that. Hey,

68
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if he knows, but the NYPD has

69
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: tried this experiment where if it's a domestic violence call,

70
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: you send in a social worker. They've tried this about

71
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: four times over the last thirty forty years. It never works.

72
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: It fails every time. In fact, the problem is a

73
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: lot of social workers get harmed, killed, murdered. There's no

74
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: social worker that wants to answer a domestic violence call.

75
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: To begin with. Let's go to Joel in Florida. Joel,

76
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: how you doing.

77
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark. I'm just a simple question. For years,

78
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: we've been talking about drill, baby, drill, and we have

79
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: our own domestic oil instead of having to deal with

80
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: all these tankers coming through the Middle East. Why can

81
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: we not just use our own oil more efficiently?

82
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: Oh, we do. We have more oil than Saudi Arabia.

83
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: We have more oil than around, We have plenty of Well,

84
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: this hold price of oil spiking way up. This happens

85
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: Wall Street will panic. You saw it when the President

86
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: Trump started the terrace. I remember the market went down,

87
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: just plunged, just plunged. It was no reason for that,

88
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: absolutely no reason for that. And then a week later

89
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: it came back and not only came back, but went

90
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: to record highs and went to fifty thousand. Same thing here,

91
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: stock market panicked, and the oil companies panic, and they

92
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: take advantage of it. For a couple of weeks, spike

93
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: the price up to one hundred dollars a barrel. There's

94
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: actually no reason for it right now. There's plenty of oil.

95
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: There's no shortage of oil. In fact, we have a

96
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: glut of oil as we speak. In fact, if you

97
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: want to bring some oil, and we don't even have

98
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,119
Speaker 1: any storage space left, oil is filling every storage space

99
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: right now. There's absolutely no reason to do all of this. Hey,

100
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: coming up, Well, Michael Goodwin will be with us in

101
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: a few moments. We've got a lot to get to. Hey, Also,

102
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: remind me to get to the big Arch McDonald's a big, huge, Well,

00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: i'll tell you what I think. We'll get to that

104
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: coming up. Also, depart and stories are closing like crazy

105
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: all over the Tri state area. It's getting really, really

106
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: really bad. So that and a lot more just ahead.

107
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: And as I said, Michael Goodwin he's been under the

108
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: weather for a few weeks, hasn't been with us, but

109
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: he's back doing well. And we'll talk to Michael Goodwin
