• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Hey, Mark. Great show as always. I was going to
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: tell you two things. The first thing is, you know,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: the Libs keep forgetting that it took JFK Jr. like
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: three or four times to pass the bar.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Well, it was three times, and the third time his
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: mother had to make some special arrangements for him to pass.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, was that the West?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Listen, he was a friend of mine. He was
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: a nice guy. He was not the brightest guy in
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the world.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And the second thing is, did you ever really
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: think about like penning a biography or something because between,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: you know, knowing like Sinatra and, you know, all.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: The, all the, uh, I have about 12 book deals
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I've had through the years, but I can never force
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: myself to sit down and start writing. I know I
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: got to do it. I got to do it.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, it would just be incredible. I mean, the
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: people that you've known, let's calm down.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: It won't be war and peace, but you're right. I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: should do it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I should do it.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I got to, I got to force myself.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, it definitely would be some great reading.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: And again, you know, it's just, it would be something
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: to look forward to.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Thanks.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I'll start working on it. I'll start sitting down and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: actually writing. Let's go to John in Bayville. John, how
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, Mark. How are you?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: What are you in the trunk of a car?
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: I'm in my car. I'm driving.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Okay. My question to you, has anybody in all our
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: presidents in Congress ever decide to come out with an
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: amendment against having non-born or people born abroad running for
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: office at any office in our country?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Well, people have talked about it. Nobody's proposed it. The
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: problem is there's a lot of people in Congress that
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: weren't born in the United States. You got to be
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: born in the United States to be president. We can
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: understand that because you're leading. You might be leading us
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: in a war or something. But banning people who weren't
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: born in the country from even running for Congress.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That's stretching it a bit. Let's go
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to Nick in Mount Vernon. Nick, how you doing?
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Good, Mark. Good job. Love your show.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: What's the story with daylight saving time? Is he going
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: to eliminate it?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably. It's not going to happen this time because, like,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: in two weeks, you've got to set your clock back
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: an hour. But it got knocked out. They almost got
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: it done, but there were a couple of states opposing it.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: One was, was it Arkansas, where the problem is a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: time zone is big. Like if you're in New York
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and it's getting dark at 6 o'clock, if you're all
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the way at the end of the time zone, like
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: in Michigan, it's not getting dark till 7 o'clock. There's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a one-hour difference from the beginning of the time zone
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to the end as far as the darkness and the daylight.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: So the problem is, I think the state was Arkansas.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: They're at the end of a time zone. They're on
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the cusp of a time zone. So it would stay
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: dark here till about 7, 30, well... in that state
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: in the winter it'll stay dark till 8 30 so
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: they pretty much blocked it well we'll get this permanent
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: daylight saving time not in time for this year but
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: we'll get it eventually let's go to pam in new
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: jersey pam how you.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Doing hi um you asked how did new england become
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: so liberal uh it started a lot of the time
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: not not totally but during the vietnam war when liberal
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: artists went up there on their way to canada but
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: sometimes some of them stopped short and went out in
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: the woods and did their art thing and formed enclaves
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: of liberalism. There's still enclaves in Canada, too, of these groups.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the beginning, the liberals moving up there.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: But then it really sped up in the 70s, 80s,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: like a lot of New Yorkers, Brooklynites, Bernie Sanders, all
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: those people. They went up to Vermont and they took
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: over the whole state. The old Vermont guard didn't know
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: what the hell hit him when these tough guys from
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn came and took over. But it's been happening everywhere. Maine,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: especially during the pandemic, a lot of the left-wingers, real
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: left-wingers out of Massachusetts, all during that pandemic were moving
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: up to Maine. It doesn't take a lot of people
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to change the demographic makeup. Maine's got a small population,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and they did change it. Let's go to Bob in Florida. Bob,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I'm hanging in there, you know, I'm day to day mostly,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: but I'm calling about the horse Cape horse carriage caper.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: But how it relates.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: To the, uh, the, uh, fake news being like off
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the charts with every story that would appeal to some, uh,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: you know, left-wing group.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: It's just cheap, cheap virtue. It's cheap virtue signaling the, uh, problem,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: a death caught by the horse and carriages one in
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a hundred years. Death by e-bikes, 133 in seven years.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Just seven years.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with Oscar Belgal and Mayor Mondami demanding that ICE
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: be removed from the city. Oh, come on. All he's
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: trying to do is.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: No, it's another good point. Listen, these shootings are awful
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: when they happen. ICE has had three of these shootings,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: but that's out of 600,000 arrests. That's a pretty good
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: track record, 600,000 arrests, and only three had problems like that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing?
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark. Mark, I'm okay. Mayor Mondami's always grousing
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: and complaining about the cost of daycare. Well, hello, Mondami.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Years ago, it wasn't necessary for two people in a family,
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: the husband and the wife, to go out and work.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: It's only because your ilk, Mondami, Kathy Hochul, and all
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: of the Democrats in the city legislature and the state legislature,
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: because when I was a kid... My mother only worked
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: four hours a day. My mother was a cook in
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: an Italian restaurant that had largely a lunch trade. So
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: after we went off to school, my mother went to
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: work in the kitchen and everything. And before school let
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: out at 2.30, a quarter to 3.00, My mother was
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: pretty much finished. It was only because of, over the years,
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: the cost of living, mainly the taxes, the fees, and
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: the regulations going up that made it necessary for two
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: people in a family to have to work. That's on you, Democrats.
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: That's on you, Mondami. But on a lighter note, Mom,
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: you were speaking about great Christmas trees. Everybody listen to this.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: All right, we only got a few seconds.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Go ahead. At the end of Montague Street on Brooklyn Heights,
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: right where the promenade begins, right before Thanksgiving, they set
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: up a massive, beautiful Christmas tree. And on one side
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: is the house where Linda Blair did the exorcist. But
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: right beyond it, still in view, is the lower harbor
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: all lit up. It's beautiful.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen it. Really nice. Well, Vincent, great call.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Hey, when we come back, one of
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the best pollsters around, Matt Towery, he's got a great
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: new book out. So we'll get some insight into the
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: upcoming election. And also, this is a fascinating book about
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the mirages created by liberal media, liberal colleges. It's fascinating stuff.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that next on 710WOR.
