  Speaker 1: the number. Let's go to Brian in Miami. Brian, how
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Brian with the Y, that radioactive guy with
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: a great suggestion for you.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Now, were you on the radio? Were you on the radio?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: For many years, 30 years in half a dozen cities.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: You got that radio voice, that Florida sort of radio voice,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the chipper kind of.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Never in Florida except a brief stint up in Orlando,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: mainly in Seattle and Detroit and San Francisco and other
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: bergs around the lower 48. Anyway, hey.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Let me just point out for the audience, if you're
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: outside of New York and you listen to the radio,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: this is what you hear. Hey, good morning.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Hey.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: They're too happy.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I like being happy. I'm an old man, so
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be grumpy. Anyway, the squad, what
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: a banal name. Here's a much better name for those
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: laughable sisters that are up against Trump all the time.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Call them the Marx sisters, as in Carl with a K.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: They are just as laughable, don't you think?
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I like that. That's very good. The Marx sisters. You're
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in Miami. What part of Miami are you in?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Plantation. Still down here on the plantation waiting for the
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: crops to be harvested.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Now, tell everybody how in Miami now, if you want
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to go somewhere, you're stuck in gridlock all day and night.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I stay off the freeways. I'm an old man,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and I drive like a grandma for the very simple
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: reason that grandmas live to a grand old age by definition,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and I've been doing so since my 20s, and that's
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: how I got to 72, Mark. And you've got a
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: dynamite show. Never retire, please.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: All right. Thanks, Brian. Thanks for calling. Take care. Yeah,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: once again, if you're outside of New York and you
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: listen to the radio, that's how they talk. Yeah, they
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: come on.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Hey, what are you doing? Talk radio. Well, we got this.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I know the latest on president. They used to talk
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: like that in New York a million years ago. Remember
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the morning show? Good morning. Hey, Harry Harrison. They'd be
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: chipper and loud and good morning. I'm Ted Brown. Remember
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: all that's how they used to talk back then. Let's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: go to Hildy in the Poconos. Hildy, how you doing?
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Hi, Mark.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: How are you? Good. Listen, first of all, I really
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: love the fact that you're on three hours every day now.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: And here's a question I have, and I figured you
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: would probably be the only one to really answer this one.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Go ahead.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: With the midterms being two weeks away and all of
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: the money that's being pumped into these ridiculous ads that
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: you see on TV, and they're ridiculous for both sides
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: of the aisle. Do they really make a difference? Like,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: do people really watch those ads and take anything that
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: they hear seriously? Yeah.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they do.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: So the money is not wasted on any of those.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Well, the only time it's wasted, if you're Kathy Hochul,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: she's too much on old-fashioned television. That's the problem. You know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: she's on Channel 5, Channel 4, very low viewership on
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: these shows. TV stations, the money would be better spent
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: on Instagram, TikTok, and all those places. But she's not
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: that sophisticated. All right, Hilde, thanks for calling. You know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the other thing is you've got these consultants that run
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: your campaign, and they do the ad buying, and they
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: get the commission on the ad buying. So they'll tell
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you to buy everything. And if you buy it, we
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: need $ 2 million to advertise on TV, and they'll buy
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the $ 2 million in ads. And It didn't help. So
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the consultant will come back to you and say, well,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you know, $ 2 million is not really enough. You've got
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to spend $ 4 million. They'll get another $ 4 million. No,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that's $ 6 million. They get the commission off all that.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: That's like $ 600, 000 in their pocket right there. Actually, more probably.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: It's probably like $ 1 million in their pocket. So, yeah,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: old-fashioned TV ads, not that effective. You've got to be
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: on social media. You've got to be all over the Internet.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Radio is still pretty effective. It's actually proven to be
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: more effective than TV ads. And the thing with radio,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: you can reach whoever you want. Let's say you're right
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: here on this floor. Let's say you come to iHeart
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to advertise. I need to reach more Hispanic voters. Well,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you go down the hall, put your ads on KTU,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you reach them. I'm having trouble with the black voters. Well,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: you go right over there to Power 105, you got them.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I need to reach whoever you need to reach. I'm
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: having trouble with young, young. You go down the hall
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to Z100. Radio, much more targeted. Social media, the best.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Diane in New Jersey. Diane, how you doing?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hi there, Mark.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty good. And yourself?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Let me check. Not bad, not bad.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Now, the reason I'm calling is earlier this morning you
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: were talking about the carriage horse vote.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: And I have a question for you. You only seem
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: to mention about how Only one person has been killed
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: over the years. But you don't seem to mention how
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: many horses have died from collapsing on the street. Oh,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: that's a good point. These horses aren't cared for. As
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: a horse owner, I can tell just by what they
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: look like, their grooming status, whether they're cared for or not.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: And believe me, a lot of them are not cared
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: for the way they should be.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: No.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: And in the summertime, we've got them collapsing on the street.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Nobody's talking about that, though.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: You have maybe 2% collapsing.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: One is too many.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: One is too many. As a horse owner, as a
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: horse owner, one is too many.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: You're not wrong. That's a very, very good point. What
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: do you do with your horse?
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Well, it's a quarter horse we do hunter jumper with
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: in New Jersey. And to me, knowing the cost, what
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: it costs to maintain a horse.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: All right. Let me ask you a question. Sincerely. Isn't
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that kind of cruel? You're sitting on this horse, making
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: him jump and do this and.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: They're bred for that. They're bred for jumping. They're high jumpers.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I guarantee you, if I could talk to the horse,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: he'd say to me, hey, it's enough with the jumping.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Well, the point I have, I know of sanctuaries in
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: upstate New York that are willing now to take some
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: of these horses and give them a great life.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: What do they do with the horses in the sanctuary?
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: They let them live their life in family units and
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: let them live out in the fields grazing, not as workhorses.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: and they get to live their life as a horse
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: should be, not parading around the household streets of New
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: York City.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: If one of these horses goes to the sanctuary, can
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: he brag to the other horses, well, I used to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: be in New York City. I used to ride right
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: down Fifth Avenue.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Well, there's a lot of racehorses that end up there
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: because that's another industry that we need to get rid of.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Did you know that the racehorses, when racehorses have a foal,
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: that the mare, they get... They don't feed their own foal.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: They bring in what's called a wet mare. They bring
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: in a mare that had another foal that they ended
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: up abandoning just to come in and feed the ones
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: that are considered prized horses.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I've got to be honest.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: So then you end up with a bunch of foals
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: that are abandoned.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: This is getting too complicated. This is too much horse knowledge. But, no,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you seem to know this stuff.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm sorry, but you need to know. People need
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: to know about it. And horse racing is a very
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: dirty business.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: It's very dirty. Very good points, Diane. Excellent points.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: You did teach us a lot. Thanks for calling. Take care. Oh,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: when we come back, the greatest pollster of all. Forget
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the fake public polls with the rigged metrics. We'll get
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the real numbers next. We'll talk to John McLaughlin coming
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: up on 710WOR.
