• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark. Mark, believe it or not, 25 years ago,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: my girlfriend's medical receptionist, Josephine, who was a grown woman
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: who had grown children, her daughter worked in the World
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Trade Center. And when the planes hit and everything, all
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: the chaos was happening, my girlfriend's receptionist was going crazy
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: trying to contact her daughter. And in those days, they
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: had those stupid flip phones, right? She couldn't make contact
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: with her daughter. As luck turned out, later on in
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the day, she showed up at the office. Her daughter
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: was late because the train was late, and she didn't
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: get to work on time at the World Trade Center.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Talk about luck, Mark. I myself... That day, I had
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to go have my car inspected. So I met an
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: official New York State inspection mechanic. And he has my car.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I had this muscle car, Dodge Charger. He has it
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: on the machine, right? And he's running the test. All
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, the machine stops. He said, Vin, the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: screen went blank. He said, it must be a system failure.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: He says, come back in a little while. I go home,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: my girlfriend calls me and tells me to put on
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the TV, and I watch the tower come down. So
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I said to myself, let me go pick up my
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: car no matter what. I'll get the inspection later. I
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: go up there, and on 4th Avenue and 3rd Street
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: from Brooklyn, all you could see are hordes of people
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: that walked down. Over the bridge before they closed everything down,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: all filthy with dust.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's right. I forgot about that. Many people had
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to walk home over the bridge.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Mark, even in my yard, I was getting dust. I
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: ran throughout all my properties, closing the windows and everything
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: because some people who worked, some mothers were home with
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: their kids. I called up everybody and went into apartments.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I said, close the windows. You want to hear a
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: 9-11 gangster story from Italy?
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, real fast.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: My friends called me up and said across the street
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: from where they live and their kids and their family,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: this Arabic bar was celebrating giving candy out as they
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: do when they kill people.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: My friends, they got pissed off. And so they went
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: over there. They threw a garbage pail through the window
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: of the bar. Then when the guys came out, my friends,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: they had baseball bats.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Let's not hear the rest of the story. But in
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: other words, it was like... Chaz Parliamentary saying, now you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: just can't leave. We got the picture.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: And Mark, when the cops came, my friend spoke to
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: them in Italian. They walked the other way. The cops
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: didn't even do anything.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: All right, Vincent. Thanks for calling. Great call. Let's go
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to Alex in Wayne, New Jersey. Alex, how you doing?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Hey, how you doing, Mark?
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Can you hear me?
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: How you doing? Yeah, I just wanted to tell you
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: a little bit about my experience during... when I was
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: working in Macy's Hells East on that day. And basically,
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: what happened was during afternoon, the way to get out
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: of the city that day, of course, Lincoln Tunnel and
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: GW and the Port Authority was closed, so you couldn't
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: get out. So we all start going up to West
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: Side Highway there to try to catch the ferry to
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: go to New Jersey. And that's when you discovered... a
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: two mile long line. And, uh, I don't know what
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: happened to those people. So, you know, basically we, we
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: just went back to the Macy's and I was lucky
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: enough to, to catch a ride with somebody to Hanupano
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: over there. And that was the only way really to
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: get to New Jersey. And we, you know, we got
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: there to Jersey city and it was pretty crazy. It
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: was like a scene out of a movie, like, uh,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: you know, end of the world. Cause people just dropped
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: everything even down in that area. And they just start,
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: walking towards the ferry. You know what I'm saying?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. All right, Alex. Thanks for calling. Yeah, I forgot
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: about that. A lot of people couldn't get out. They closed.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: There were tons of people that walked across the bridges
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to get out of New York City. Let's go to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Larry in Long Island. Larry, how you doing?
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: Hi, Mark.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's the Buchanan guy. The Buchanan guy. He hung up.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: You know, if you want to be a good prank caller,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: You've got to lose the accent. You can tell right away.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: You've got that accent. Oh, hi, Mark. This Buchanan guy's
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: been at it for... Hey, actually, it's the 25th anniversary
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: of 9-11. I remember him calling before 9-11. It's also
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the 25th anniversary of him with the most outdated prank
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: call in the world. Anyway, give us a call. 800-321-0710
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: is the number.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: 800-321-0710.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: 0-7-10. Yeah, it was an incredible experience that day. If
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you were in Manhattan and you didn't live in Manhattan,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: trying to get home was a nightmare. And then a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: lot of people couldn't get into Manhattan. They closed everything.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: If you came down the West Side Highway, at that
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: time they had toll booths. They wouldn't let anybody in.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: The bridges, the tunnels, everything closed up. Anyway, let's take
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: some calls. Let's go to Line 1. How you doing?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Line 1, who is this?
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: My name is Tom.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Tom?
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: From New Jersey.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: How are you doing? What did you want to say, Tom?
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Mark, Osama bin Laden. It was credited that a Pakistani
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: doctor led to his capture, and they said that he
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: was entitled to a very, very high ransom payment. As
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: far as I know, he was put in prison by
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: the Pakistanis, and I can't find out if he's still
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: in prison, if he got the money.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. We don't really know if it
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: was that Pakistani doctor. Yeah. He was in Pakistan. They
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: found him living in that house. One of the things
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: they learned in the hunt for Saddam Hussein, you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: they were filing his top lieutenants. And then they realized,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: follow the little guys, the couriers. Follow the couriers. And
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that's how they eventually figured out where Saddam Hussein was.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And I believe the same thing happened with Osama bin Laden.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: They started following couriers and those people. Let's go to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Al in Yonkers. Al, how are you doing?
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Good, Mark.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: I hope you're doing well on this terrible day of remembrance.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: I just wanted to ask you, the President gave a
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: good midterm convention speech, as did the Vice President, but
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: I just don't understand when he says about the $ 5, 000
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: he'll give to all the citizens of this country if
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: they win the midterms. Maybe this should have been done already,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: because We have the House and the Senate in both Republicans.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: You're never going to see the $ 5, 000. I think he
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: was just shooting his mouth off. He loves to come
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: up with gimmicks. And it's a great way to troll
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the fake news and the Democrats. Remember, the Democrats are
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: always giving away stuff. With Obama, it was free phones.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: With Biden, it was I'll forgive your student loans. And
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: in this case, it was just I'll give you a
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: check for $ 5, 000. It's the kind of thing Democrats would do.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Now watch. As much as they attack him for it,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: now they'll offer $ 10, 000. Let's go to Robert in Westchester. Robert,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, Robert.
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: Thank you for taking my call. Mark, with Mondani first,
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: with him coming to the services today, he didn't do
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: it because out of respect.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: No, probably not. But he behaved himself there. He handled
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: himself pretty well there. And you'll see the picture. It's
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: going viral. He did shake hands with Rudy Giuliani, knowing
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: photographers were going to photograph that. Yeah. Hey, when we
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: come back, Charles Payne, I don't know where he was
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: on 9-11. Well, we'll ask him. He'll be the great
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Charles Payne, the brilliant guy from Fox Business. He's got
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a new book out. But people have made a fortune
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: watching Charles Payne. Anyway, we'll talk to him next on 710WOR.
