1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Back to Mark Simone on wor Hey, let's take some calls.

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: That's eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: the number? Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: Let's go to Chuck and Staten Island. Chuck, how you doing?

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: Oh? Pretty good? Mark. They're arguing about the fourteenth Amendment.

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 2: But in eighteen sixty six, the Civil Rights Act that

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: was passed said clearly that foreign parents of children born

8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: in America were not American citizens. And if that wasn't enough,

9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: the McCarn Wolter Act of nineteen fifty two said the

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: same thing.

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: You've been watching too many Perry Mason episodes. You've been

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: watching a lot to it. Well, now, according to the

13
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: McCarran this was act. The hearings are on now you

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: can follow it. Nothing. They'll explain to.

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: You the laws on the pluck.

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: I know, but we're not experts on this, and I

17
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: am oh excuse me. Oh, that's it. It's official. Word

18
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: has come down from Chuck and Staten Island. That's it.

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: Tell us Supreme Court that can adjourn. It is settled.

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,199
Speaker 1: Let's go to Charles in Miller Place. Charles, how you doing?

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: Yes?

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: Hi, I had a question regarding Bruce Blakeman.

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: Yes, so what I had heard that he had he

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 3: had applied for the matching funds and then they had

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: changed the rules.

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: Is that the case, Well, uh no, that I don't know.

27
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: But they have just totally corrupted that board. It's supposed

28
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: to be fifty to fifty Republicans and Democrats making the decisions.

29
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: They've made sure it's majority Democrats. And Hochel is in

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: panic because Blakeman is making big progress in the recent

31
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: polls and they got to stop him. So they're trying

32
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: to deny him as matching funds. He'll appeal this and

33
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: hopefully win. But they also got to force them to

34
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: uncorrupt the campaign finance board. Make it a mixture, an

35
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: equal mixture of Republicans and Democrats from now, and that

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: was the original idea of it. Let's go to Joe

37
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: and Staten Island. Joe, how you doing good? Mark has

38
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: to going good? Question where the next.

39
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 4: Net export is of oil?

40
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: Right now?

41
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 4: Why can't Trump get all the oil executives in the

42
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 4: country together and basically say for the next three months,

43
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 4: we're going to nationalize the industry. We're going to keep

44
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 4: our royal in the country. And we're going to set

45
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 4: a fixed price of forty dollars a battle for the

46
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 4: next three months.

47
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen these guys that run the oil companies?

48
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: Not really, it's a bunch of JR. Ewings And who's

49
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: the guy on land man, Kevin Costner.

50
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

51
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 4: Does Trump have the authority to nationalize it?

52
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: Yea could, but you don't do that. I think the

53
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: last time that was done John F. Kennedy and the

54
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: steel crisis in nineteen sixty two. Remember he nationalized the steel.

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: But it's not at the crisis point where you could

56
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: do that. But the problem is again it happened in

57
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: the last few weeks, American oil companies raising their price

58
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: for no reason. It'll all be settled, you'll see tonight

59
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: they'll announce two more weeks, two and a half more

60
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: weeks of the war. It'll be over in three weeks,

61
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 1: four weeks. Prices they did spike up, but they will

62
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: not only come back down, they'll probably plunge, plunge after

63
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: the war, and that upsets the oil industry more. They

64
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: don't like the plarsist to plunge. Let's go to Elvis

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: in Bridgeport. Is that your name, Elvis?

66
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, you would think, you would think.

67
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: More people would use that name, Elvis Presley, Elvis Duran.

68
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: But why aren't there more Elvis.

69
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 3: Is I don't know. I don't know why. I'm probably

70
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: the only Italian with that name.

71
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: Were you named after Elvis Presley?

72
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 3: I have a cousin in Canada that's named after Elvis too,

73
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: so I guess I'm not the only one.

74
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, your family, you wear those leisure suits with

75
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: the sparkly things all over them.

76
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: No, no, no, they're not that. I mean, that's a

77
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: good one.

78
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: You ever eat those Elvis sandwiches with the bacon and

79
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: the peanut butter and the bananas.

80
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 4: And.

81
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, that's too sweet for me. I'm

82
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: not into the sweet things though.

83
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: And you live in Bridgeport.

84
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 3: The reason, yes, sir.

85
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: If you call that living, but okay, go ahead.

86
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 3: The reason I'm calling you and bothering you today is

87
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: that I don't trust the Republicans in the midterms. It's

88
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 3: like they don't they don't fight back enough to the Democrats,

89
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: and they just barrayed them all the time on the media,

90
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: and it's just it's crazy and they're lying and and

91
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 3: it's hypocrisy and people believe that.

92
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: You're not wrong. But it's the problem is for Republicans,

93
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 1: you know, they do politics. For Democrats, it's like full

94
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: time business. It's like war to them, not twenty four

95
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 1: to seven.

96
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like in their genetics or something. They're just

97
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 3: just waiting to get on the media and just baraied Republicans.

98
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,119
Speaker 1: They said, that's Democrats. It happens. They're like at war

99
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: full time twenty fourth. You know, for Republicans, they're like

100
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: country club guys. It's like, you know, they're not as

101
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: aggressive at all that stuff. But you know, when they

102
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: say there's no voter fraud, you don't have to worry

103
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: about voter fraud. You live in Bridgeport. You can at

104
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: chest to the fact.

105
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: Yeah I got a mayor down here. That's not too yeah, exactly.

106
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. If you think there's no voter fraud ever, go

107
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: visit Bridgeport, Waterbury, Hartford, Connecticut is famous for famous for

108
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: voter fraud. You remember when Stephan Awski was running against

109
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: Lamont and at one o'clock the results came in. He

110
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: won won by three points and his team told me

111
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: we lost. I said, well, I see it right there

112
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: in the computer. You won by three from n you

113
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: got to win by seven to cover the cheating. They'll

114
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: take it away in the morning. Remember. Sure enough, the

115
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: next morning the votes got all the They actually said

116
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: the ballots got wet, we have to recount them, and

117
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: sure enough he lost. Let's go to Dennis and round

118
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: book bound Brook. Dennis.

119
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 5: How you doing, Yeah, good morning, Mark.

120
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: Mark.

121
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 5: Everybody is talking about the fact that only two percent

122
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 5: of our oil comes from through the hormone straits, and uh,

123
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 5: you know, and yet we see the gas going up

124
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 5: to four dollars, and you know, it hurts us Republicans,

125
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 5: you know in.

126
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 6: Terms of the media that it hurts you for two

127
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 6: about it hurts somebody's arm because it only hurts you

128
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 6: for two weeks and in a month of gas prices

129
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 6: will plunge, there'll be a crash in oil prices, and

130
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 6: nobody will remember these couple of weeks.

131
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 5: You know, because he mentioned this morning or I think

132
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 5: I read that. You know, even if he settles something,

133
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 5: apparently they're still not going to be opening the horm

134
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 5: move straight.

135
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: So this thing is no, no, they'll get it off.

136
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: It'll be open by by May. And again gas prices

137
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: spiked to four dollars for a couple of weeks. I

138
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: remember during the Biden administration it spiked the four dollars

139
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: for four years. But again, this spike that we had

140
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: for a few weeks will be totally gone and nobody

141
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: in the summer will remember the spike at all. In fact,

142
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: you probably once you get all this change in Iran,

143
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: you'll probably get the biggest plunge you've ever seen in

144
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: oil prices. As John Carney, who's an expert on this

145
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: Last Hour explained, the oil companies are going to be furious.

146
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: They don't like fifty dollars a barrel. They like one

147
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a barrel. They don't like when it's down

148
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: to fifty a barrel, which it probably will be in

149
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: a few weeks. Hey, when we come back, we'll talk

150
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: to Ann Coulter. I'll see what she has to say

151
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: about all this. Oh, remind I got to ask her

152
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: about Don Lemon. He thinks he can run for president.

153
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: She'll have plenty to say about this. We'll get to

154
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: that next on seven to ten. Wor
