• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Well, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. Let's
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: go to Kathy in North Carolina. Kathy, how you doing?
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Hey, beautiful day here in sunny North Carolina.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Hey, sunny here, too.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I know I'm headed home this weekend.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I'm really kind of, where's that?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Uh, to Stanford.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, Stanford, Connecticut.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: You know, you love Stanford.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I love Stanford. Great places there. You got the great
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: restaurant prime. You got all sorts of stuff there. You
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: got to pop up bagels coming there. You got a
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Frank Pepe there.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: You got all changed quite. It's like they're building like crazy.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: But earlier I heard you mention Omar, um, uh, asking
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: for money, Ilyan Omar. And, um, So I know I'm
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: your favorite Democrat. So I want to tell you that
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: I got an email from her the day after they, quote,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: raided her house. And it was unbelievable. It said, Trump
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: has weaponized the DOJ and the DHS against his opponents.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: And now the fascism has come to my literal front door.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: And so if I weren't laughing enough. I would scroll down,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and it was like, I will not give up. I
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: will not be silenced. Can you donate money to me?
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: But listen, if you're her, that's what you're going to say.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: That's the perfect lie. First of all, the investigation into
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Omar started by Joe Biden. It started under him. That's right.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: And at least she didn't use the word, you know,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: like warfare or whatever.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Lawfare, yeah.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, the pot is calling the kettle black there.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, all right. But, you know, that's the perfect
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: lie for her. That's the best spin. That's the best
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: thing to say.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: She's not running for.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Anything, right?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: It's running for her life, running from the law right now.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: No, but she's not doing re-election, right? So why does
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: she need money?
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: At least you're going to have massive legal bills. She's
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: going to need money for a legal defense.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Well, I am more than thrilled that she got... I'm
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: sorry it took so long because I don't know what
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: took so long, but I'm anxious to hear it. But also,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: you read a thing about the Dubai or the potato chips.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: What is the deal with the Dubai mention for food?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, this is the big hot thing for about
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a year and a half. Actually, it lays a little
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: late to it. In Dubai, they came up with the great...
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: It's chocolate and it's a pistachio cream... And it's a
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: certain kind of, yeah, it's actually very delicious. It's Dubai
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: chocolate bars and everybody in the U.S. It's dark chocolate,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a pistachio cream. It's actually delicious. Dubai chocolate bars. You
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: can find them all over the place. And then. Every
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: restaurant started making Dubai chocolate desserts.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm a little slow to the game there, so
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: thank you for clearing that up.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Well, you're in North Carolina. You know, I mean, you're
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a little out of it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: You have a good day.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: All right. Thanks for calling. Let's go to James in Utah. James,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Hey, Mark.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I just had a quick question. Do you know whether
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Trump has ever thought about trying to make an appeal to, like,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: A gay community? He's done so much for the gay community,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: and he never really seems to make an outreach. I
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: didn't know whether that was a plan you've ever heard of.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Well, there's not much. You can't really do anything. I mean,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: he's been very pro-gay. He was an early proponent of
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: gay marriage. He's attended a lot of gay weddings before
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: he got into politics. He's as pro-gay as anybody. But
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do because they'll just attack you.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: The media will attack you. They continue to describe him
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: as a racist, even though nobody has been less racist.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: You know, before he went into politics, Trump was getting
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: awards from Jesse Jackson for the best minority hiring practices.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter. No matter what he does, outreach, whatever,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: they'll keep attacking him. The fake narrative will keep going.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: But good question, James. Thanks for calling. Let's go to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Wendy in Long Island. Wendy, how are you doing?
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Hey, Mark. I'm doing great.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Well, that's good.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Thanks for taking my call. So, listen, I beg to
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: differ about... Potato chips, they're actually a health food. They're
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: not junk food. Stop that.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Stop that. Stop that.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's potatoes, oil, and salt. And you don't have
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: any problem with salt if you have low blood pressure.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: All right. I want you to get a pack of
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: potato chips in the supermarket, and I want you to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: look at the ingredients. It does not say potatoes and
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: salt and oil. That's not what it says. It has
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: 47 chemicals and 28 ingredients you never heard of in there.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Okay. I'll mail you a package of Lay's.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: I don't mean to pick on Lay's, but if you
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: go look at the label, there's all kinds of ingredients,
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: you know, like sorbitol, albatol, visatol, chemical type thing.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: When you see the ingredients have ingredients, you know you're
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: not eating the healthiest food.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Okay. And then I just wanted to put comments on
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: the Turkish pistachio nuts. I've been eating them for years
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: and years and years, and they're really much better than
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: the California ones. They have a light seasoning and a
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: different taste. And then all of a sudden, when this
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Dubai chocolate came out, the price of the pistachio nuts
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: jumped twice the amount that they were. So they were
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: about $ 9 a pound. Now they're over $ 20 a pound.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: I don't really care for the Dubai chocolate, and I
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: certainly don't want pistachio cream in my dark chocolate.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: You don't have to have it. It's just a big
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: thing in Dubai. There's a lot of big Dubai things
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: they love that everybody else would hate that look pretty stupid. Hey,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: where are you in Long Island?
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: So we live out here in Comac.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Comac is very nice. Very nice in Comac.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: It is very nice.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: All right. Thanks for calling. Let's go to, uh, let's see.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Oswald in Bayside. Oswald, how you doing?
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Uh, Mark, I love your show.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I think you're the best.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: And I hope, uh, Bruce Blake made wings, man.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Well, he turned things around in New York. So you're,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you're actually close to Nassau County. Not quite there. It's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: right across the water from you, but, uh, Yeah, it's
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: very beautiful here. Bayside is very nice. I like it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: You've got beautiful stuff there. The Bayview Terrace, you've got
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: all that. You've got Ben's Deli. You've got everything in Bayside.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Thank you for taking my call, Mark.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Have a beautiful day.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: All right. Thanks for calling. Let's go to Aaron in Indianapolis. Aaron,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: And hey, congratulations on your new year.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: What new year?
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry, your new hour.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, please stop. I make the show a year
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: every day. It'll be a nonstop one-year show.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: I want to talk about the weaponization of the Justice
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: Department under Trump.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: Because that is to make up for the weaponization of
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: the Justice Department under Biden and Barack Hussein Ayatollah Obama.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Well, the difference is, if you look at the charges
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration is bringing, they all seem to be
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: quite legitimate. If you look at the lawfare against Trump,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: The charges are absolutely ridiculous and immediately tossed out by
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: any legitimate appeals court. But the Trump charges seem to
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: be real and they'll hold up in any court. So
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that's the good news. But thanks for calling, Aaron. Yeah,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: so you look at the Letitia James case against Trump,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the Alvin Bragg, this crazy DA case against Trump. All
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: our greatest legal scholars have said they can't figure out
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: what the hell the charge is. Dershowitz said he's been
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: doing this 60 years, cannot figure out what the charges
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: against Trump. I mean, they fabricated ridiculous charges. That's why
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: they won't allow the appeals to proceed. They're holding them
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: up because the appeals court has just tossed it all
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: out immediately. Trump, by the way, not convicted of anything.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: You know, they keep saying he's a convicted felon. You're
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: not technically a conviction until you're sentenced and they've held
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: up the sentencing. So when we come back, Ann Coulter,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: we'll talk to her next. On 710WOR.
