  Speaker 2: Who knows now, right? Calm down.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: It's just a cold. It'll go away. One day.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Okay. It's going to warm up, I heard.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: So I'm shocked. They're starting this again. Somebody, an honest
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Democrat or Republican, should do something about this. I never
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: got this before. Well, I didn't get it. Kathy Hochul,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: and it says acting commissioner Christian Jackstadt is sending out
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: now again to people.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, you got to tell us what you're talking about.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Just get to the point.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I got a notice to renew state ID.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: What's the point?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: State ID from Kathy Hochul.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Now, she died 10 years ago.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Who?
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: The Department of Motor Vehicles.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Who died?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: To renew it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: All right. Listen, I hope you get better. Good luck
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: with your cold. I can't figure out what the hell
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you're talking about, but good luck with the cold. Let's
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: go to Jim in New Jersey. Jim, how you doing?
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Mark, you talk about all these hookers descending on the
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: UN in New York. You know where the term hooker
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: came from, Mark?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: It came from the Civil War. Okay. The North was
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: basically losing the war for the first three years. Lincoln
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: was firing general after general after general until he finally
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: settled on Grant. There was a general named Hooker? Yes,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: there was a very handsome general named Joseph Hooker from Massachusetts,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: and Lincoln put him in charge in 1862, and he
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: was a disaster. But all the women would follow the
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Union Army around just to get a look at General
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Joseph Hooker because he was so handsome, and that's where
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: the term came from. Hooker is a bunch of groupies
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: following around the Union Army. So that's that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: But did he use them as prostitutes? Did he do that?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: No, they just followed the army around because they wanted
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: to get a glimpse of Joseph Hooker from Boston. You
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: can Google him later to see what he looked like.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: All right, I've got to take a look at this guy,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Joseph Hooker. Let's go to JJ in New Jersey. JJ,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Good, Mark. Thanks for taking my call. How are you today?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Let me check. Not bad, not bad.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Good to hear. I just finished reading the book about
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Roy Cohn.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I was wondering if you knew him.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Because obviously they were very disparaging, I guess, with regards
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: to Donald Trump.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they make up this whole fake relationship that Cohen
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: was Trump's mentor. Not the case at all. Everybody knew
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Roy Cohen. He was kind of a weasel of a guy.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: He could be fun to be around, but vicious, vicious,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: vicious guy, which made him a great lawyer. He was
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: probably the two greatest lawyers ever, Roy Cohen. And what's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: his name? William Bennett Smith. But Roy Cohn, he was
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a vicious guy. But he was one of Trump's lawyers.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Trump had 50 lawyers. Roy Cohn was one of them.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: He was not a mentor to Trump. By the way,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: at the time, Roy Cohn was the lawyer. He was
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the lawyer for the Cardinal. He was the lawyer for
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the Catholic Church. He was the lawyer for the New
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: York Yankees. He was Aristotle Onassis' lawyer. Everybody had Roy
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Cohn as his lawyer.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Right, they even mention the mafia use them in certain situations.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Well, he did a lot of criminal stuff. If you're
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: a criminal lawyer, you're going to have mob guys coming
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to you, but he was great. Edward Bennett Williams is
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: who I was trying to think of. Roy Cohn, Edward
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Bennett Williams, two greatest lawyers. Edward Bennett Williams, a classy
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: genius of a lawyer. Roy Cohn, a dirty alley cat
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: street fighter, but he would get the job done. But
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: not the mentor of Trump, as they make it out
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to be. Let's go to Tom in Queens. Tom, how
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: are you doing?
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, good morning. Uh, just one fun fact that, uh,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: since Trump renamed the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: we have not had one named hurricane at all. Huh?
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Now don't say that. You're going to jinx it. You're
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: going to jinx it. But that's a, that's an interesting point.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Fran Massapequa. Fran, how you doing?
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you that.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Tell you what, say it again. You're breaking up.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: You know, she's not, She's not only ugly, but she's stupid.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Who?
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Who? To be an ugly woman.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Who are we talking about?
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: What?
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Who are you talking about?
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: I said Hochul.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It's not your fault. Your phone is cracking
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: up there.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Hochul.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Stupid. Yeah. Ugly. She's not ugly. I mean, she's not
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: going to win any beauty contests, but she's that kind
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: of average looking. She's not ugly.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Stupid.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's not the brightest woman in the world. She's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: not stupid, but she's just a cheap politician. You know,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: whatever way the wind is blowing, you know, she hates
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Trump because everybody hates Trump. If everybody loved Trump, she'd
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: love Trump. It's just whatever way the wind is blowing.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You can thank Andrew Cuomo, by the way, another one
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of his decisions. He's the guy that gave us Kathy Hochul.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: He's the guy that picked her for lieutenant governor. Hey,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: when we come back, the brilliant columnist Liz Peek, we'll
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: talk to her next. Lots to talk about with her.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: On 710WOR.
