  Speaker 2: More Mark.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: 710WOR.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, we'll take some calls.
• 0:07
  Speaker 4: 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 0:09
  Speaker 5: 800-321-0710.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Hey, you hear this? CNN went out yesterday. Went off
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the air for 30 minutes. They haven't said exactly what happened,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: but about 12.05... to about 12.35 for nearly 30 minutes.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: CNN was off the air. Brianna Keller was the anchor
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: when she came back. She said, welcome back. We're back.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: There was a technical issue across Warner Brothers Discovery's channels
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that resulted in losing our signal. We're sorry for the interruption.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Let's get back now to breaking news, which means fake news. Now,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: CNN was out for a half hour. It's very serious.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: That affected nearly 125,000 people that were actually watching CNN. Well,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: it was on 125,000 sets, but, uh, let's figure 50,000
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: were watching the rest. It was on in the airport.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: It was on in the gym. The sound was off.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Nobody was really watching. Let's go to, uh, Neil in Brooklyn. Neil,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Mark.
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: Mark.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: I was watching a lot of, uh, shows to see
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: if they had an opinion about the Hakeem Jeffries, Jared Kushner, uh,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: meeting and nobody came up with this theory.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: The theory is that Jared says to him, look, we
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: know you're going to win the house back. And then
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: these communists are going to come after you and they're
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: going to tell you they don't want you. They don't
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: even want to look at you. But my father-in-law has
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: a bunch of Republicans.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I love how you make up this whole fake
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: conversation that you think that..
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: Well, nobody had any other good theories.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Well, we don't need any theories. They actually, believe it
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: or not, Jared and... Hakeem have, I wouldn't say friends,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: they've been associates for years. From even the first term
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of Trump, they would talk often and meet often. They've
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: had a relationship for some time. Remember, Jared was in
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the White House, actually in the White House, full-time, first term.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: And remember, Jared and Ivanka, they're not exactly MAGA Republicans.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Jared's always kind of a liberal sort of a guy.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: He's had a long, long relationship with Hakeem Jeffries. So
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: He just wanted to meet with them just in case
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: they win. He wanted to just make peace and make
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: sure they were on good terms again. So they met
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: in a private home here in Manhattan this past week.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Michael on the east side. Michael, how
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: Hey, Michael.
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: It's good to talk to you. A couple of thoughts
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: about that.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Doesn't he sound like a gangster? I knew he sounded
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: like a gangster from a 1940s movie. I could see
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: you telling Jimmy Cagney, now she here, Michael.
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: Well, I thank you for that.
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: In any event, people have been talking about that NFL
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: owner who got into trouble recently and then they bring
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: up Kraft's name.
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: You talk about.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: The NFL owner who went to a prostitute?
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: And this story kind of..
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: And come on, give him a break. He went to
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: a strip mall. What else is he going to find there?
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: And then he got disoriented with all those Korean girls there.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Actually, she was.
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: Okay, so send him.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: She was actually Chinese. And apparently he went to her many, many, many,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: many times for years. He even brought her to Mar-a-Lago
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: once to a party there.
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: I would lay odds on that. But then send him
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: to a penal colony.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, the guy Kraft likes to go to these
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Chinese strip mall massage parlors and get a little, what
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: they call a rub and tug. And you kind of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: identify with this for some reason. You're a little sensitive
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: on this subject. He's listening to himself on the radio.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Let's go to Rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: how are you doing? Hey, thanks, Mark.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: You know, last week when Trump came down here for
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: that rally on Friday, I was actually performing at a
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: bar about three blocks away, and a bunch of people
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: came in about 9 o'clock. I'm going to say two
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: dozen sitting at various tables, all had their red MAGA
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: hats on and everything, so I was just finishing up.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: And I went to ask them, did you come to
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: this rally for Darlene Graham? You come to see Donald Trump.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: A hundred percent of them said they came only for
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump. They're not Darlene Graham fans.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: That's the idea.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: Ralph's not... Well, that Ralph's not a Ralph Norman's not
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: a big fan. It's a it's a neck and neck
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: tie down here.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: We know it's about forty nine five to forty nine.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: But you got to remember, when the president does these rallies,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of course, they're coming to see him. That's why you
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: do the rally, because that's the idea of it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: That's right. I don't think it's going to help. I
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: wouldn't be surprised if Ralph Norman won, but he's been
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: a bit of an obstructionist to Donald Trump. He's not
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: a good guy either.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: They're both terrible.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Well, he's better than nothing, but he probably is going
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to win tonight. But see, that's the idea of the rally.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: What Trump does, he gets all his fans there, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: they're all watching, and they're all watching, and then he
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: tells them all about Darlene Graham, why you should vote
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: for them. So the idea, you don't want to get
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: her fans there because they're already voting for her. You
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: don't need them. But you get all your fans there,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and then you talk to them for 20 minutes about
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: why they should vote for it, and you give this
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: whole speech. And then that converts them over to her fans.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it will work. She's really, in
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: some ways, the incumbent. So she should be ahead now
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: in the polls, and she's not. So she's probably going
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to have a very tough time tonight. Let's go to
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Joe in Hoboken. Joe, how are you doing?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Hi, Mark.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: First time, long time. I want to thank you for
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: what you do.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know what I do, but okay.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: I've been a fan for over five years, and out
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: of all the commentators, you're happy. I'm a former New Yorker.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: You know so much about the city, and I love
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: when you have guests on, and they go down a
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: rabbit hole with doom and gloom, and you're like, thanks
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: for cheering us up. I just laugh throughout the day
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: listening to your show. I even don't get enough of Mark.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: I go to the old tapes. I was listening to
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: you in 2018, and your predictions were even right back then.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: All right. I got to be honest. You may have
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a problem. This sounds like an addiction. This sounds like
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: too much listening.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much. See, I said you're funny.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but this might be a little too much listening.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm supposed to do that. I'm supposed to
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: go listen to the show again and see what I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: can fix and see, you know, you learn from listening
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to it. Every day you're supposed to listen to your
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: show back. I've never once been able to do it. Never.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I can't do it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: So who am I going to listen to if they're
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: all negative and not happy? You're happy.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Well, that's true. That's true. You can't be yelling and
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: screaming and upset and lecturing, and that doesn't work.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's just so depressing. Or angry, or I don't know.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Tell us why you left Manhattan and you went to Hoboken.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: What was the reason?
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, we had a baby, and it was just cheaper.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: It is cheaper. But Hoboken's pretty crowded. It's like New
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: York City. It's pretty crowded. It's not so cheap there,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: is it?
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Uh, well, they have this, it's not called rent control.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: It's called something else, but they're only allowed to raise
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: your rent like 3% a year. Um, so yeah, we have, God,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: we have a $ 1, 200 a month rent for.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: A two bedroom.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: And when we moved in, yeah, when we moved in,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: it was 1100. And, uh, I think it went up
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: to 1200 in the last three years. And then, You know,
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: these increases are like $ 69. It's amazing.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Very good. And now stop saying this, otherwise everybody's going
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to start moving to Hoboken. It'll get too crowded. But
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: good call, Joe. Great call. Thanks for calling. Call again.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: That's the thing about living in Manhattan. If you live
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: in Manhattan, it's so expensive that you can move anywhere
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: you want, and it seems cheap. You know, if you
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: live in Massapequa and you move somewhere else, you go,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: this is so expensive. But if you live in Manhattan,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: any place seems cheap compared to... Manhattan. Let's go to
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Bill in New Jersey. Bill, how you doing?
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Mark. So Kathy Bugs Bunny, wife of Hank Hochul,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: wants to pass a law to protect criminals. And my
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: question is, can't federal law for ICE overrule state law?
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Oh, it does. It does. It absolutely does.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: She can make all these sanctuary whatever rules. Federal law
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: always supersedes local law. ICE can do whatever the hell
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: they want. There's nothing she can do about it. She
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: just yells and screams, sanctuary city, and we will not
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: cooperate with ICE. Now, it's a smarter thing to cooperate.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: If they don't cooperate with ICE, they've got to go
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: in the street and they've got to bring a lot
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: more people because they don't have local cops to help them.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: They've got to bring a lot more people, and it's
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a rougher operation. Now, if you're Bruce Blakeman and you're
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: a smart, very, very smart governor in Nassau County, he
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: fully cooperates with ICE. We'll have local police help you.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: with your arrest. We'll lend you a jail if you
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: need it. That's why you never hear a problem in
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Nassau County. Everything's done nicely, peacefully. Hey, we've got a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: lot coming up. Don't forget, I'm here 9 to noon
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: every day now. It's three hours, 9 to noon every day.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Then at noon, you've got Buck and Clay. That's a
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: really good show. You'll learn a lot listening to them.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Noon to 3, and then you've got 3 o'clock, you've
• 9:54
