  Speaker 1: Live from the WOR LifeVac studios.

  Speaker 2: Hey, so we'll get to Jim Baker. Remember Jim Baker?
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Did you know he was still alive? He just died.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: We'll get to him. Remember this Tammy Faye Baker? Who
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: was the woman he got caught with? Jessica Hahn? I
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: think that was it. Yeah, we'll get to all of this.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Coming up, we'll get to that silly Gavin Newsom and more.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: We'll take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800- 321-0710.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Bill in Idaho. Bill, how are you doing?
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Hey, good morning, Mark.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: What do you think of this? On Amazon, it says
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: customers who read.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I can't really understand what you're saying, but I have
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a feeling I'm not missing anything. What time is it
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: in Idaho? It's pretty early there, isn't it?
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: It's 6.30 if you go east about a mile.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: 6.30!
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: That's fascinating because it's 9.45 here.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: So.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Anyway, on Amazon.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: It says customers who bought Chuck Schumer's anti-savagism in America
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: also bought arsenic and razor blades.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see. That's supposed to be a joke. All right.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Thanks for calling. Yeah, so Amazon, they recommend other things.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: It's always interesting. So his joke was whoever bought Chuck
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Schumer's book also ordered Arsenic and razor blades. Sick joke.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Sick joke. We know what you mean. That Chuck Schumer.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: He's finished. Absolutely finished. It's great watching his career just
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: fizzle out and die. Let's go to Margie in the
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Hudson Valley. Margie, how you doing?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Hi, Mark.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: This is Margie, the college professor I call every once
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: in a while.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, I remember you. This is a very, very, very
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: smart woman. She's a college professor, and you told us
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: once that sometimes you look out there at the class
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: and you think, you know, 30% of these people shouldn't
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: be here.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: No, that's incorrect. I would say 40%.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: 40% shouldn't be there.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: 40%.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: And Bill O'Reilly made a great point a couple of
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: weeks ago, and you just made a comment a few
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: minutes ago that I want to expand on, um, you're
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: absolutely right. Everything you say about the teachers unions, um,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: and the way they defend ridiculousness in the classroom. And
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: for anybody who's never heard me before, I've been teaching
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: in colleges for a year. The dirty little secret Mark
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: is that the administrators who've escaped from the front lines
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: are the ones who handpick these socialist teachers and the
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: ones who are going to pass everybody and won't say
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: a word. And so that's where the problem lies. I've
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: heard somebody else on the radio say, well, they should
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: hire more conservative teachers. Well, they should. We could have
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: a balanced curriculum, but they don't. And the reason is
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: because the administrators don't want to be bothered, and this
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: way all the kids passed. And it's really sad. And
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: for anybody who thinks that it doesn't affect them going
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: to college, well, guess what? Suppose you are a real student.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: You're sitting in a classroom next to students who don't
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: want to be there, who are troublemakers, who are disinterested.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: No, that was me.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: I had an 18-year-old girl in my class once, September semester,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: and I was talking to her, and she told me
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: she had two children already. I said, when did you
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: have the last one? She said, last week. So this
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: girl who already had two baby daddies and one child
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: was one week old was in my classroom. Her head
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: wasn't around learning. She wanted to be out of there.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: So even if you go to college and you say, well,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: I'm going to sit there and study, look who you're
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: sitting next to. That's why I completely support Lincoln Tech
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: and all the other trade schools because they're taught through
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: the apprentice method, which is really what happens in the workforce.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: And everybody gets right down to business.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. All right.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Well, Margie, you're a great caller. We always love hearing
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: from you. Thanks for calling. You know, the other thing
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: is you get a college degree. Well, you're going to
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: need this. I got to be honest. It's been like
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: 40 years, and I've gotten a number of jobs. I
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: got a job here. I got a job at WABC.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I got a job at WNEW. I worked at the
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: NBC radio network, the CBS radio. You know, in all
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: these times where I got hired for every job. Nobody
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: ever once asked me if I went to college. Nobody
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: ever even brought it up. It never came up once.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I have a degree. I don't know where the hell
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: it is. I haven't seen it in years. There are
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of professions where you're really not going to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: need that degree. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mike.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I always get a kick out of the newest fake outrage,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: this time about the president making a joke about L.A.,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: And it'll be Republicans and their experts who will be
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: the most outraged, but none of them have contempt for
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: the Chuck Lorreys of the world. who recently said he'd
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: like to see Trump dead, or Springsteen headlining a concert
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: that basically every song is about seeing Trump dead, you know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: the Foo Fighters included, or Phil Collins saying that the
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: president isn't eloquent and elegant enough for his taste. Here's
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: a guy who was in a rock band where they're,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: you know what, to underage groupies and doing drugs. But
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: there he's outraged that the president isn't classy enough for him.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Well, let's not forget Robert De Niro, who two days ago,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: it's up on my Twitter if you want to take
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: a look at it, went into an unbelievable tirade calling
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: for the death of Donald Trump. I can't play it
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: on the air because it's all F-words. I can't play
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: it on the air.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: And again, our side, the Republicans are going to be
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: the most outraged. They'll be the most vociferous about Trump
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: shouldn't say these things. Meanwhile, they won't say anything about
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: De Niro, who, by the way, has daddy issues, if
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean, knowing his background. That's why
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: he's so outraged at a tough guy like Trump.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: He also yells in this tirade that Trump is a...
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: That's the P word. It refers slang for a woman's
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: body part.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Yes. So.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Is that kind of sexist, he's saying, if you're like
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: a woman, that it means you're weak? Is that what
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: De Niro was saying?
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. He thinks he's a street guy. That's what
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: street guys do. You're a fake tough guy in a bar,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: that's what you call each other. So, you know, a derogation.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: All right, Mike, thanks for calling. Let's go to Blauvelt,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: also in Florida. Blauvelt, how are you doing?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Mark Simone, good morning, sir. How are you? Good. I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: think this weekend you should go out with a wicker
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: basket and a pair of overalls and do a photo
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: shoot in a strawberry patch.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, these people go strawberry picking. They go apple picking. Oh,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: you know what? I am going to do that. I
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: did that last year. I had a picture on Instagram.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I put up a picture of me apple picking. Yeah,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: it was at the Whole Foods right over there in
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: the Columbus Circle. You go in right in the front.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: They got 27 varieties of apples. Enormous selection.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And you don't have to drive too far.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: No, you go over there. You know, they even give
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: you a basket when you come in. You get a
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: little basket. You walk over there. There's every kind of
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: apple from all over the world. You pick whatever apples
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: you want. You put them in the basket. They put
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: it in a bag for you, and you go home.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: You don't have to drive eight hours out to the
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: end of Long Island.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: One more thing, sir, if you don't mind.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Instead of mailing out checks to everybody with this tariff money,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: why don't we pay down the debt?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we can do that, but we never pay
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: down the debt. The debt's always going to be there.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: The debt's always going to have this debt. Anyway, thanks
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: for calling. Yeah, this apple picking. You got to, I
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: don't know. Well, it's great. You get out in the country.
• 8:05

• 8:11
  Speaker 2: a Morton Williams. Open 24 hours. You go in there. Again,
• 8:15
