• 2:35
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Mark, how are you good. I've been a
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: longtime listener. I listen to you up here in New Jersey,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: and then I listen to you when I'm in Florida.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Very good every day. Anyways, I have a two fold question.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: First of all, how do you see this war ending?
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Number one?
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: And number two, who do you see getting the next
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Republican nomination?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: You know, it's not just you. Everybody asked that. You
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: got to not ask that. That's like saying who's going
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to win the super Bowl in twenty twenty nine. You
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: can't predict that.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: That's a good question.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: You can't predict that. There's no way nothing will be
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the same in twenty twenty eight. Everything changes a thousand times.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: That's fun to make guesses, but they don't mean anything.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Right now. So well, I'll just say whoever you like, Uh, well,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you got a lot of great choices. You got Rubio,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you got Vance, you got also check back. Historically, usually
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: whoever the nominee is going to be has not yet
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: appeared at this point, especially on the Democratic side, at
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: this point, nobody knew of Bill Clinton, nobody knew of
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Mike Decaucus. Usually the nominee has not appeared yet, so
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: or Obama. Yeah, good point. Well, thanks for calling. Let's
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Mara. Mark. Apparently, from what
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: I've been hearing and from people calling in other shows,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: the Democrats and their Minion and our European allies are
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: okay with the Iranians killing a few hundred American soldiers
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: and tourists over the years here and there. What is
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: it that's only two hundred soldiers twenty tourists a couple
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: is rarely now, let them be, Let it go on, Mark.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I believe that the Federal Trade Commission should threaten the
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: big three oil companies. We're looking at their books to
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: see if they're price gouging, because, as Richard from South
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Carolina said from Myrtle Beach. If these companies bought this oil,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: which they're not going to you know, the ships are
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: not coming in every day to supply the oil for
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: the week. If they have these this oil was in
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: the storage tanks before the war began, and they're selling
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: it at these extremely high prices, then they are priced galgy.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: What they're doing is there's no reason to raise the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: price of oil because we produce all our own oil,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: has nothing to those overseas. But they've raised it to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: match the world price. If you if you clamp down
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: on him and don't let him do it, they'll just
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: cut production. They'll create a shortage and they'll raise the price.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: So well, I was just the thought came up because
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: maybe with the threat of the Trump Federal Trade Commission
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: saying hey, we want to see your books, man, the books.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Will just they'll show that they race it to match
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the world price, and if you tell them not to,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: they'll cut production. They'll cut production.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: And then yeah, unfortunately, you're right, Mark, You're you're you're right.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: I don't have a comeback for that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: It happens once in a while. Well, great call, Vincent,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Hey, when we come back got lots
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: to talk to Bill O'Reilly about. He'll be with us
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: next on seven to ten wor
