Well, 5 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one zero 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 2: seven ten is the number, and let's go to Bob 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 2: in Connecticut. Bob, how you doing, Mark? 8 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 3: I'm doing just fine. I would like to say that 9 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 3: I think Donald Trump has surpassed Et Barnes as the 10 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,639 Speaker 3: great showman he was, and the show he put on 11 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 3: the other night was the greatest show on earth. 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: Well, it was very good. Not easy to talk for 13 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,319 Speaker 2: two hours and they'll hold everybody's attention, but he did 14 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: longest day of the Union ever, two hours. I think 15 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: that we didn't get the final number. I think it's 16 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: about thirty six million side. 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 3: Not a minute afore them. 18 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 2: No, it was pretty good. It held there was attention. 19 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: Now you go along deliberately for one its strategy. Normally 20 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 2: the rebuttal from the Democrats, the rebuttal speech starts about 21 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: ten to fifteen, but he went really long to about eleven. 22 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: So the rebuttal didn't happen about eleven fifteen, which means 23 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 2: very few people saw it. Most people are gone by 24 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 2: eleven o'clock. They want to go to bed or do 25 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: something else. But let's go to Erin in Indianapolis. Erin, 26 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: how you doing, good morning? 27 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:26,839 Speaker 4: Mark? 28 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 2: I want to talk about this raid on mar A Lago. 29 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 4: Yes. 30 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: Now, the supposedly they're firing all the FBI agents that 31 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: were involved in that, but then those agents involved were 32 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: saying they had no choice, they have just following orders. 33 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, well you could use the Mark Kelly rule. You're 34 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: not supposed to obey illegal orders. And it was a 35 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: very questionable raid. But I don't know, you got to 36 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: I understand what you're saying. You don't want to fire 37 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: the guys just following orders, but I have a feeling 38 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: it was such a leezy, dirty, ugly, unethical raid. A 39 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: feeling that the Merrick Garland and Jack Smith and Christopher 40 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 2: Ray they probably hand picked some agents close to them 41 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: to go do this. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, 42 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: how you doing, good morning, Mark? 43 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: Yes, Mike, it was interesting seeing the eighty year old 44 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: Vince McMahon driving like a knucklehead. But down here in Florida, 45 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: that's the way they drive, these. 46 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 4: Eighty year olds. 47 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 1: They do honishing that anybody gets anywhere alive. 48 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: But the way I thought, those old people in Florida 49 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 2: drove real slow. 50 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: They they they drive slow, but dangerously. You know. 51 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 5: Try getting on a highway. 52 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: And the guy's doing twenty five miles an hour because 53 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: you know, and it's just you know, and they're expecting 54 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: the semi truck in that lane to get. 55 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 4: Over for them. 56 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: It's it's terrible. And they, you know, they know, nobody 57 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: knows when to go. They get to a four way 58 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: intersection and all they do is waves to each other, 59 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: no you go, no you go, no you go. It's 60 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: like the old chipp and Dale Chipmunk. 61 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 5: Cardtoon from Warner Brothers. And they're awful and it's so bad. 62 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 5: You know, Google Maps as a new part of it 63 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 5: that tells them why they went to where they're going. 64 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 2: Well, you know, for all these eighty year olds down there, 65 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: nothing personal. But most of your people in Florida got 66 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 2: nothing to do. You're not working, you're retired, you got 67 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 2: nowhere to go. There seems to be a hell of 68 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 2: a lot of traffic for people that have nowhere to 69 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: go and don't need to be driving. 70 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 4: It's so true. 71 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: You couldn't it's amazing.
