  Speaker 2: 710WOR.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Hey, we'll take some calls.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: 800-321-0710 is the number.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: 800-321-0710.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: So, you know, they've caught a lot of illegal immigrants
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: trying to vote. Lots of illegals. Trying to vote. They've
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: been caught. States have admitted to it. You know how
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: much coverage it's been getting on network TV, ABC, CBS, NBC?
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: There's an organization that studies this. The exact number of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: minutes it's been covered by ABC, CBS, and NBC is zero.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: That's the number. Zero. No coverage of it at all.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: President Trump apparently, reportedly weighing new Iran strikes before the midterms. Now,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: we know after the midterms, once it's over, Iran is
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: just going to get wiped out, just completely wiped out. See,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: they think good strategies wait for the midterms. And then
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: if the president loses the midterms, the new Democratic Congress
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: will stop the war. I don't think they calculated into this.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Right after the midterms, let's say the Democrats win. They
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: don't take office until January. Trump would have two months
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to wipe out Iran. But apparently there have been meetings,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: preparations by the Pentagon, just in case they may launch
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a massive amount of strikes against Iran before the midterms,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: just to make it look like something's going to turn
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: in Iraq. Now, some of this is being reported by Atlantic,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the Atlantic, which has now become about the most unreliable
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: publication in the world. But we'll see what happens. Hey,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. Let's go
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to Bill in Idaho. Bill, how are you doing?
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Hey, Mark. How are you today?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I'm good. What are you, in a tunnel right now?
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: No.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Well, sort of. You know, I live in Cordon Lane, Idaho.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we ask that callers get within 50 feet of
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the phone. How far away are you from the phone?
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, not too far away.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: All right, you want to be like that? All right, wait,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: hang on. I'm going to go back here. I'll talk
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: from here. How's that?
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: We'll both sound like.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: We're far away. I got my closer now.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how about go right up to the phone?
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm up to the phone right now.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: See, now we can hear you. Okay.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: You know, you said the only problem with living in
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Idaho is you're living in Idaho.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they... But the.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: But here's a fascinating fact that you might want to know.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: In this small county, there are more doctors than there
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: are in Boston or Johns Hopkins or the Mayo Clinic.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: And you know why?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Because all of Canada comes down here and gets their
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: medical stuff because socialized medicine is.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Well, I understand, but if you're from Canada and you
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: come here for help, why wouldn't you go to New
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: York or the Mayo Clinic? Why would you go to Idaho?
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Because you've got to pay taxes. You don't have parking space.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: There's no taxes here. There are three casinos where the
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: old lady can go to. Uh-huh. You know, it's all
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: owned by the Indians, by the way.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Well, it sounds like a hell of a place to live.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Sounds like a lot of fun. Three broken-down casinos and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: lots of parking spaces. That's a great selling point.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think Trump and, you know, the Republicans
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: use this that the failure of the Canadian health system
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: is driving people down the same path.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Well, they have used it. They've used it millions of times. But, Bill,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: we've got to go talk to... Anybody else, thanks for calling.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Take care. Let's go to Joanne in Glendale. Joanne, how
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: are you doing?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Good. Love your show, Mark.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to make a comment about the woman
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: who called from Brooklyn.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: The one who would only pay cash in the supermarket
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and won't use her credit card.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's me. So I agree with her. It's a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: great way to budget. I even pay cash. for my gas,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: and I do pump my own gas. So I'm with
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: her in paying cash.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: But you have a credit card, right?
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. I have two, but I only.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: So you all have credit cards. What do you think
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: it's for? This is what it's for.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Only if I'm buying something big, like furniture or something
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: big that I don't have a lot of cash. But otherwise, no.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I like to pay cash for everything.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I guess it's just that I've always been like that.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And like I said, it helps me budget. I take
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: a certain amount of money out of the bank and
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: that's my money for the next two weeks. And that's
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: what I spend.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: All right. That makes a little sense. But use a
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: credit card once in a while.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: And, you know, I met you about 20 years ago.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Must have been exciting, huh?
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I was so intimidated. Oh. It was you.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Mark Levin and Sean Hannity in that bookstore in Huntington.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Remember that bookstore in Huntington? Oh, my God. We did
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a book signing out there. It was so unbelievable. 7,000
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: people showed up and gridlocked the entire town of Huntington.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I was one of them. Oh. Anyway, I miss
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: that place, and I miss all the book signings.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a great bookstore called Book Review, Huntington,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Long Island. I'm trying to remember. I think it was
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Mark Levin's book that had come out, but we all
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: promoted on the air. It was me, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and Curtis Sliwa was there.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, Curtis Sliwa with his son. His son was little.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And you will testify— that so many thousands of people
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: showed up. There were like 3,000 outside that couldn't get in,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: and the whole town of Huntington was gridlocked all day.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. Well, I got there hours early.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I made sure I was in. There were people lined
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: up for blocks. Oh, yeah. No, that was a great day.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I miss those days.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Actually, if you go on my Instagram and scroll back
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: a few, I think it was a month or two ago,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I put up a picture from that day.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, really?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Because you see how everybody looks different 20 years ago. Yeah,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I know. All right. And you live in Huntington?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: No, I don't live in Huntington. I live in Glendale, Queens.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay. Very good. So see, people came from all over.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I did grow up in Huntington, though.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: All right. Thanks for calling, Joanne. Take care. Let's go.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Speaking of paying cash, let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Mark, I'm calling you. You were chiding that gentleman yesterday
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: who didn't want to use the credit card in his iPhone.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: These two women calling you about only using cash. Mark,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: that's all I use. Sometimes I use the credit card
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: when I have like a big medical co-pay to pay.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: In fact... Recently, I had to go to the dentist,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: and I fill out all my personal information. So the
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: receptionist says, oh, you didn't fill out the information about
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: your credit card. So I says, what for? She says,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: so that if you miss an appointment, we could dox
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: your credit card. I says, look, first off, I'm not
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: going to miss an appointment. And secondly, unless you're going
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: to do something really big on me today where I
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: have to pay for a crown, I'm not going to
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: use a credit card. I pulled out the broccoli roll.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Broccoli roll means a big wad of cash, and they
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: take the rubber band from the broccoli, that big rubber band.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: Right, the Andy Boy, the pink rubber band. So she says, well,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know if we can serve you. She says,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: I've got to go speak to the boss, the dentist.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Did she know who she was dealing with?
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Well, Mark, as you well know, Johnny Cash is still king.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: All right, but Vincent, some people, there are reasons they
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: want to use cash. We understand that. Some harmless old lady,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: they don't need to use cash.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: I know, Mark. Well, she went in to see the dentist,
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: and the dentist poked his head out, and he said,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: no problem, because you know where that cash went? It
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: didn't go into the cash box. It went right in
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: his pocket. And a lot of times when I'm in
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Europe and I go to a hotel... I never pay
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: with a credit card. I pay with cash because what
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: happens then, the concierge steals the money, and then they
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: make your account disappear. You were never in the.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Hotel because they took the money.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: They don't want a record of it.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Vincent Travel Guide.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: It serves two purposes, Mark.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Good call, Vincent. Excellent. Thanks for calling. Use a credit card.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: The only time you need cash when you're bribing the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: maitre d' or somebody, that's when you use cash. Anyway,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: we got a lot to get to. Don't go away. 710WOR.
