Speaker 2: they get back to the fifties tomorrow. But it was

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: a pretty pretty cold blast last night and the day before.

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: You know this, John Thoon, he's gotta go, he better

Speaker 2: get his uh, you know what of the off the crapper.

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: You know, we've got over seventy judge openings that need

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: to be filled. At least Mitch McConnell the Turtle was

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: good at doing these judges and getting judges appointed in.

14
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: There's a lot of red states that have a lot

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: of openings and courting to Laura Ingram, there's something like,

16
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 2: you know, well over seventy high level judge ships that

17
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: need to be filled. And John Thuhon in the Senate

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: that they're just not doing anything to look at the

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: long range term you by not doing anything like that.

20
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: No, absolutely Thune is one useless guy. Anytime you see

21
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: a politician, he looks like that senator on the Godfather,

22
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: Remember excuse you Corleoh yeah, yeah, it looks like that.

23
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't trust him for a second. Not that I

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: would trust Mitch McConnell either, but you're right, McConnell at

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: least been there six hundred years knew how to get

26
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: stuff done. Let's go to doctor Bob in Long Island.

27
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: Doctor Bob, how you doing okay?

28
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: Mark, good to speak to you. Yeah. I second the

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 3: emotion about Poon his disastered. He's just treading water. But

30
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 3: I'm just swondering Mark. You know, they're really getting ready

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: to close some of the airports because the TSA people

32
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 3: walking off without getting paid. I can't believe that the

33
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: senators are getting paid for blocking government functions. And I

34
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: think that they should set up a priority list of

35
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: maybe some of the states that have maybe democratic senators.

36
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: Maybe took off of Massachusetts airports, maybe take off some

37
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: of the Chicago and California airports, and announce the schedule

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: when the closures are going to occur. Maybe that'll put

39
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 3: some pressure on those senators.

40
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard to pressure these guys, but a good point. Well,

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people want to make sure because normally

42
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: you know these Congressman, House, Senate, they go right through that.

43
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: There's no tsa line for them.

44
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: They go.

45
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: They got escorted right through. An escort actually shows up,

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: bring them right through. Everybody wants that stopped, not just

47
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: during this but forever. You'll notice you hear the Senators,

48
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: the Democrats and everybody. They they'll criticize the Secretary of Defense.

49
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: They'll criticize the Secretary of State. But you'll notice you

50
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: never hear anybody in Congress Democrats, you'll never hear them

51
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: criticize the Secretary of Transportation, which right now is Sean Duffy.

52
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: And the reason they never criticize the Secretary of Transportation

53
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: is when your secretary of transportation, the first thing you

54
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: do is should give your cell number to everybody in Congress, Republican, Democrat,

55
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: they all have his cell number. They're going to the airport,

56
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: they can call him, heal, arrange for an escort to

57
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: show up. Whatever you got, any problem in an airport train,

58
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: he call him, take care of it, just like that.

59
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: So you could threaten them with all kinds of things.

60
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: You could threaten them with no more escorts, no more

61
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: of this, and you could just say we're going to

62
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: have the Secretary of Transportation change his phone number to

63
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: a new number that you don't have. Then maybe they'll

64
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: cave in real fast. Let's go to Foggi in Long Island.

65
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: Did I say your name right, Fagi?

66
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: Yes? Hi Mark.

67
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 4: I have a question. Why can't we pass term limits

68
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: for any member of Congress or political figure? Because presidenttion

69
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: have term limits? Why are people allowed to be in

70
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 4: Congress for fifty years? Make a Korea out of it?

71
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, they're all horrible, the worst people of these

72
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: lifetime senators, Republicans, Democrats, they all stink. But well, the

73
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: reason the problem is they'd have to pass it. They're

74
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: the only ones that can pass it against themselves, and

75
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: they won't do it.

76
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 4: And also, why can't they pass that if they prevent

77
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 4: any Americans who earn their living like the TSA members,

78
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 4: why can't we pass a lot that says if they

79
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 4: prevent that, they will not get paid either. It's frustrating

80
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 4: and I feel for those people.

81
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Concress should not get paid during the shutdown.

82
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. Where are you in Long Island?

83
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 4: I'm on Bayville, Bayville.

Speaker 5: Oh, I'm great.

100
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 2: I love your show. Mark.

101
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 5: I just have a question about the voter ID. I

102
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 5: was having an argument with my sister and she said

103
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 5: that she doesn't think that, you know, we should have

104
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 5: voter ID. And I said, yeah, but how do you

105
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 5: know who's voting? And she said, when she took her

106
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 5: son to go register to vote, you have to show

107
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 5: ago birth certificate. So I just I'm confused. I don't understand.

108
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: All right, let me give you some good advice. Stop

109
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: talking to your sister. What else you're talking about? Stop

110
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: talking to her. Everybody has a driver's license. Everybody can

111
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: show voter ID. It's it's photo I D. It's the

112
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: easiest thing to do. It's everywhere you go, everywhere in

113
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: the world. You have to show a photo ID to

114
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: get into any office building, to buy medicine, to do anything.

115
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: You had have photo Everybody has it. It's a simple

116
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: thing to do. But it screws up the Democrats, and

117
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: you know they putting illegals on the ballots and all that.

118
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: It screws them up to do it. So that's the

119
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: reason they keep it posting it. We'll get to this

120
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: in the next hour. It's a very good topic. In

121
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: the next hour. We'll get to this save act. It's

122
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: very important. You know, the yell and scream on MSNBC

123
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: or CNN, how it's wrong to make people show a

124
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: photo ID. It's racist. It suppresses you have to show

125
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: a photo ID to get into MSNBC or CNN. Every

126
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: guest on the show has to show a photo ID.

127
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here at iHeart. You got to show photo

128
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: ID to get in this building. Everybody does everywhere. Hey,

129
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: when we come back to brilliant columnist Liz Peak, we'll

130
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: be with us next. We've got lots to talk to

131
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: her about, coming up on seven to ten WR
