  Speaker 2: Let's take some calls. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark.
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: I'm doing very well, thank you. Mark, I saw a
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: report that said in a recent meeting with Putin, U.S.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner uh, were in
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: this meeting and Kushner was way too aggressive with Putin.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: They said he's not going to be used in the
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: next round of talks because with cough is much more
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: of a diplomat. The excuse is, uh, Kushner is ill.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: No, Kushner is not ill, but I know what you mean.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: It's a good question, Dave. Uh, yeah. And apparently in
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: the meeting, Witkoff said, listen, we want to have a
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: trilateral meeting and we think it would be good. And
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Kushner jumped in and said, so, uh, yeah, I, I, uh, uh,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: A lot of negotiators could use State Department as career
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: foreign service. The problem is you can't trust them. They're
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a bunch of bureaucrats with briefing books. These are two
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: highly experienced negotiators, Witkoff and Kushner, and obviously Trump totally
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: trusts them. They're family. The only problem is they're used
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to negotiating business deals, real estate deals. The thing is
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: when you're negotiating with business people or real estate, no
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: matter how crazy evil they are, they're business people in
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the end you can find whatever they want money whatever
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: give them something to deal none of this works when
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: you're dealing with absolute lunatics like rainy and crazy ayatollahs
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: or evil lunatic Putin type so that's the problem but
• 1:46

• 3:20
  Speaker 2: like 47 minutes, so. It's not mostly commercials.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: You sound like a guy from a 1940s movie. I
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: could see you talking to James Cagney.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was born in 1940s.

• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I'm 86.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: We can tell. All right.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: One more question.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: If you don't mind.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Go ahead. Who's going to stop you? Take your time.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Sometimes during the week, you start off at 9 a.m., right?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I heard.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Before the day's over, you're an hour back.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Wait, say that again? Before the day's over what?
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Before your day is over, you're an hour late.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that's true. Thank you. I don't know what
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the hell he said. Do you know what he just meant?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he said. Let's go to Greg
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: in Long Island. Greg, how you doing?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: He sounded like Walter Brennan, who you're thinking of.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Ah, there you go, the real McCoys.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Luke!
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Anyway, I wanted to talk about this decision that the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: city council is about to make regarding the horse-drawn carriages.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And I used to be in the legislative body out
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: here in Suffolk County, and I think compromise is what's
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: called for. And what I wanted to suggest is that
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: they don't eliminate them. They cut down the number of
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: carriages and cut down the number of horses and build
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a state-of-the-art stable with some pasture area for the horses,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: and keep a traditional live, just make it smaller and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: more humane.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: The problem is that's logical. It's common sense. It's not
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: city council New York type stuff. That is the right answer. Yeah,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: create a nice little place. You have five or six horses,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and that's it. That's a good.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it would keep a tradition alive, and if it
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: really gains popularity, it can slightly expand again.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. Common sense, very logical solution. The city council, unfortunately,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: is a bunch of crazy idiots. They're not going to
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: do that. Let's go... Oh, Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: you doing?
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark. Mark, as regards this detective who put
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: a cap into the other driver on the George Washington Bridge...
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: Most cops and most detectives are straight arrows. They're not
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: like this maniac detective. That being said, believe you me, Mark,
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: I know more crooked cops, more crooked detectives. There's even
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: a friend of mine who was a detective who the
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: authorities say he was feeding information about so-called mob activity
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: to the so-called mob.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, there's always the case. You've got the 35,000 cops.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: You're going to have a handful of crooked ones. Yeah.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Mark, I'm going to play your snack food policeman yesterday. Yesterday,
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: a woman called, and she mistakenly called potato chips health food.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: She should have said natural food, because yesterday when I
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: went shopping— The potato chips that have all the garbage
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: that you cited in them are the flavored potato chips,
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: like the cheddar cheese chips, the barbecue chips, the onions
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: and sour cream chips.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: But even normal, unflavored potato chips.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: No, Mark. The unflavored potato chips. I'm telling you.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I should point out, there are healthy brands you can
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: buy where it's just potatoes, salt, and oil.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Exactly.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: But.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: The big, big, big names have a lot of preservatives
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: and chemicals in them.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: You're right, Mark, because I had to watch my salt
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: intake because I thought I had high blood pressure.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Hey, Vincent, there's an app called Yucca, Y-U-C-A, the Yucca app.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Whenever you're in the store, point the camera at the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: barcode on the product. It'll tell you exactly how healthy
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: it is on a scale of 1 to 100.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: Yucca. That's really good to know. All right, Vincent, we've.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Got to go. But everybody get that app, Y-U-K-A, Yucca, Y-U-K-A.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: It's amazing. It'll fix all your problems with that stuff. Hey,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: we'll talk to Jimmy Fallon, the great comedian Jimmy Fallon,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: next on 710WOR.
