• 3:17
  Speaker 1: All right. It sounds good. Thanks for calling Arrowsburg. I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: never even heard of that. Let's go to Bill in Brooklyn. Bill,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Hi, Mark. Mark, you know what James Bond's first kill was?
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: You know, we had that double O license to kill.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: It was in New York City. It was in New
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: York City.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Well, there was one short story where he comes to
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: New York just to assassinate somebody in Rockefeller Center.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: That's right. The RCA building. Very good. Yeah, it was
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: in Ian Fleming's first book, Casino Royale. He mentions this.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was later an actual short story. Later,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: he put out a collection of short stories, and there
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: was one about Bond coming to New York just to
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: kill somebody. Uh-huh. Just to kill. Remember Carrie Limousine? He
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: actually rented a Carrie car to Right, right. Get there,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: RCA building, shoot somebody through a window, and then.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: A Japanese codebreaker. He shot him, right, with a sniper
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: rifle to his mouth from an adjacent building.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: All right, don't get graphic. It's almost lunchtime, but.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. You know, the first Bond movie was
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Doctor No. And it's the only Bond movie where James
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Bond just shoots somebody. Not in a gunfight. Just goes
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: in and assassinates somebody. It was the first movie, Dr. No.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: He's waiting in this guy, what was his name, Strangways
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: or something. He's waiting in the guy's hotel room and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the guy comes and Bond has the gun out and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: he makes him sit down, talks to him for a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: minute and he just shoots him in the head. And
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that's what a guy like James Bond would do, license
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: to kill. He would have to go, he'd be sent
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to kill somebody. But they decided, and remember the first movie, Dr. No,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: nobody knew what James Bond was. It hadn't taken off yet.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: But they decided it didn't look right for him to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: shoot somebody in cold blood So they never did it again.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: That was the only time in any Bond movie I just,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: in cold blood, just shot somebody. Let's go to Blauvelt
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: in Florida. Blauvelt, how you doing?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Mark Simone, good morning. How are you?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Hey, you make me laugh so hard. I love your
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: sense of humor. But on another note... There were two
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: calls that you had on 9-11. That one girl, Jennifer,
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: and then right after that, Dr.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Bob.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: I'm listening to it. I'm driving home, and I was
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: in tears.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I played it again that night for my wife, and
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: she was in tears. It was just.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's so many sad stories, good stories.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but she was quite a caller telling her story
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: of heroism.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: It was the call of the year.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: You hit the nail on the head.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: All right, thanks for calling. Let's go to Stanley, South Carolina. Stanley,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Mark, all these municipalities need money. They got the
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: clocks on, streetlights and red lights and all that. Why
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: doesn't Trump deputize all the cops? And give the city
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: five grand for each illegal that they get out of here.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: That's a great idea. I don't know what the hell
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: he was talking about. Did you understand that? I don't
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: understand anything you just said. Hey, when we come back,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly will be with us next. We've got a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: lot to talk to him about on 710WOR.
