1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Mister New York Mark simone wr.

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 2: Let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one zero

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: seven ten is a number. Let's go to Ron in Pittsburgh. Ron,

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 2: how you doing. I'm good, Mark, how you doing today? Good?

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 3: Hey? Love your show.

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 4: Hey love Jimmy Feller.

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 3: Thank you for that. And Hey, if people complain about Bencon,

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 3: please keep him on because I love that guy. Hey,

9
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 3: but I got the thing I wanted to call you about.

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 3: I have an idea. How about Cuba is having a

11
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 3: blackout while all the green people take their soul panels

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: and windmills and get rid of all the power plants.

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 3: You show us how they work.

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: Well, that's a good idea. But the Cuba will be

15
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: free at some point, probably this summer. They'll free up

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: Cuba and then a lot of people will be heading

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: to Cuba for all kinds of opportunity, lots of lots

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: of interest in Cuba. Now you can just imagine that

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: by the fall, you could have a Ran free, no

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: more dictatorship. Same thing with Cuba. You could have two

21
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: of the biggest problems in the world all of a

22
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: sudden ended. Let's go to James and Secaucus. James, how

23
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: you doing okay?

24
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 5: Mark? I want to ask you. A Fourth of July

25
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 5: is a Saturday, celebrated Friday nine to eleven is Friday.

26
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 5: Chris was in New Year's Friday. Do you think he'll

27
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 5: put that prayer rug out? And if he does, well,

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 5: Kathy all will do anything about it?

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well wait, wait a minute. Fourth of July is

30
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: on a Saturday this year.

31
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they celebrated Friday a lot of places.

32
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: Oh why would they do that when it's on a Saturday?

33
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 5: Well, anyway, you mean they get we.

34
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 2: Hat Friday off that weekend, not Monday.

35
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yeah, Friday.

36
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: I don't like that. We should get Friday and Monday off.

37
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: We should get two days.

38
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 5: How you're doing? Get Friday, Saturday, you get Friday, Sunday,

39
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 5: you get Monday.

40
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: Now you got me all confused. Who's on first? I

41
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: don't know? But anyway, thanks for Colin. Let's go to

42
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: Paul and White Plains. Paul, how you doing, Mark?

43
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 6: I'm doing well, but I almost drove off the road

44
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 6: when I heard you say that Trump is going to

45
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 6: agree to allow the Iranians to tax every ship that

46
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 6: goes through.

47
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 2: This not not not not tax. But one thing they

48
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: want is a fee. It's not unreasonable. We do that.

49
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 2: Every country does.

50
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 6: That, but but Mark didn't.

51
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: We all see it's going to keep going. Every a

52
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 2: lot of countries do it. It's perfectly normal. We do it,

53
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: Harbor's do it. Ports do it. It's not unusual.

54
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 6: But isn't it giving them sort of like a little

55
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 6: payback for for what's going on? I mean, it seems

56
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 6: to make no sense.

57
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 2: You know, I could we could keep doing this for

58
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 2: an hour, and you're gonna keep saying that it makes

59
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: no sense. I don't. It's again, I'd rather not give

60
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: them a fee. I understand your feeling. But it's not

61
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 2: unusual happens, So it's got to be a reasonable fee.

62
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: I mean, but a million supports Harbor's countries. As I said, Egypt,

63
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: there's a fee that use the Suez Canal. It's done

64
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: all the time. You know you you do it, you

65
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: go through it yourself. You want to go over the

66
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: throgs Neck, you're gonna pay a fee. You'll want to

67
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: go through the Lincoln don You're going to pay a fee.

68
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: You want to come into Midtown, you're going to pay

69
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: a fee. Congestion pricing. Let's go to Mark and Allentown, Mark,

70
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: how you doing, Hey.

71
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 7: Good morning. Before I get to my question, uh, my

72
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 7: statement is that I was shocked watching ABC News World

73
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 7: last night. How they covered the poor girl.

74
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 4: That was killed in Chicago and they've said illegal immigrant

75
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 4: a few times.

76
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 7: That really floored me.

77
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: Wow, that's a big concession from them. Absolutely, it was

78
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: pretty amazing. Yeah, this poor girl was killed by this

79
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: illegal immigrant. You see very little coverage of it. Actually. Uh,

80
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: you know, if it was the other way around, if

81
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: she killed the immigrant, it'd be there'd be protests all

82
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: over the street, there'd be riots, would be every but uh,

83
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: this is getting very little attention. But good for ABC News.

84
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: Maybe they're maybe they're waking up a little. Let's go

85
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: to Linda and Pennsylvania. Linda, how you doing.

86
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm good. I just have a question. Why is there

87
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: no outraged over the fact that white is flooding and

88
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: SEEMA is not being paid?

89
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: Say again, what's flooding?

90
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: Okay, Hawaii, what's twenty years?

91
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: Oh, Hawaii, Hawaii.

92
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: And you hear nothing about FEMA, but yet FEMA is

93
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: one of the agencies that's not being paid.

94
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good point. Your a very good point.

95
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 2: After this Republican Congress holding this up. If the Republicans

96
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: held this up yet, it's all you'll be hearing about

97
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: is Hawaii is flooding while FEMA's not being paid. FEMA

98
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: is part of a department Homeland Security, not funded at

99
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 2: the moment. Let's go to Dennis in Long Island. Dennis,

100
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: how you doing?

101
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 4: Hey, Mark? How you doing?

102
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: Mark?

103
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 4: Great show? Mark?

104
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 5: Hey?

105
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: Everybody says, like a character from that in nineteen forties movie,

106
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 2: Hey Mark, why.

107
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: Are you Mark?

108
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, Suma wants to tell Schumer wants used to take

109
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: their mads go up to identify them. Why do you

110
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 4: into playing field? All protesters cannot wear a mask so

111
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 4: we can identify the bad players.

112
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, good idea. They do do that. In some

113
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: cities you're not allowed to wear a mask. But the

114
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: problem is you could have protesters with no masks and

115
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: the Republicans won't bother them, not gonna do anything about it.

116
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: But you know the problem with a nice agent is

117
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: if he's not wearing a mask. In today's world, you

118
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: can take a picture of their face. You can reverse

119
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: image search it. You can find out who they are,

120
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: You can get their address, you can go on the

121
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: internet and do this, get their address, and then Democratic

122
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 2: protesters will go to their house and terrorize their children

123
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: and their family, yelling and screaming and causing chaos outside

124
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 2: their house. It's called doxing. You find the address, you

125
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: go to the house, and it's just going to be

126
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: a nightmare for these families. So that's why they wear masks. Now,

127
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 2: Republicans never do this kind of stuff, never ever ever

128
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: do this kind of stuff. They don't surround somebody's house

129
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: and try to tear as their kids. So that's the

130
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: reason for the masks. They're not wearing masks at airports.

131
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: And a lot of people are worried about this, that

132
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: they're going to start photographing these ICE agents and start

133
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: doing this stuff. So we'll see. Let's go to Joe

134
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: and Nutley. Joe, how you doing?

135
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, Hey, Mark, are you a longtime listener. I just

136
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 7: want to talk about the mid term elections coming up.

137
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 7: I've been hearing so much on even the Republican side,

138
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 7: how the GOP isn't going to do well in the elections,

139
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 7: and frankly, I just can't see how we can't.

140
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 2: Do well well. No, I don't don't fall for a

141
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: lot of fake poles being reported. We played the clip

142
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: of CNN yesterday where they had a real poll and

143
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: they had to admit Democrats are so far underwater, they're

144
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: down like fifty five points unders now. But also remember

145
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 2: you can't predict the midterms right now. People love to

146
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: do it. They love to predict, they love to guess,

147
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: they love to go to the polymarket, see where they gamblers.

148
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean anything. This is like it's like trying

149
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: to predict who's going to win the super Bowl in

150
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight. Your way too far out to know

151
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: what's going to happen in the midterms. It's a long

152
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: way off now. Some will argue that as you get

153
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 2: into the late summer it gets set. I mean maybe

154
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: in the midsummer it starts to get locked in and so.

155
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: But but that even the midsummer, you're talking about months

156
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 2: and months away. Get a long way to go. Hey,

157
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,320
