- 0:11Speaker 1: w o R. Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go
- 0:14Speaker 1: to Jeff in Texas. Jeff, how you doing good?
- 0:18Speaker 2: Good? The Maxwell? Hello?
- 0:23Speaker 1: Yeah, you said, I got an echo? What are you
- 0:25Speaker 1: in the bathroom?
- 0:27Speaker 3: No, I'm on you on my app. I have a
- 0:31Speaker 3: hearing agent and app goes right into the Okay, Oh
- 0:34Speaker 3: that's how that works. Yeah, I wouldn't be able to
- 0:36Speaker 3: hear you without so all right, anyway, I apologize for
- 0:41Speaker 3: the echo anyway. I think as far as Maxwell's concerned,
- 0:45Speaker 3: if I'm her, I'm thinking, I'm saying in jail because
- 0:48Speaker 3: that's the safest place for me to be.
- 0:50Speaker 2: How did you I?
- 0:51Speaker 1: No, No, Look at Jeffrey Epstein, it wasn't so safe
- 0:53Speaker 1: for him.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. But right now, as far as her situation,
- 1:00Speaker 2: nothing has happened, and she's probably got information that certain
- 1:04Speaker 2: people don't want pubble sacks. That's that's just my opinion. O.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Now, it could be, but it's different now because the
- 1:09Speaker 1: Epstein files are out. Everybody, Well, I don't know that
- 1:14Speaker 1: you know it's gonna say everybody that was involved as
- 1:16Speaker 1: in those files. But like I said before, I can't
- 1:19Speaker 1: believe these guys are texting all this stuff to them,
- 1:21Speaker 1: typing all this stuff and the emails. Maybe there were
- 1:23Speaker 1: some guys are smart enough only to do it over
- 1:25Speaker 1: the phone. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike, how
- 1:28Speaker 1: you doing, good morning, Mark. Yes, Mike, you.
- 1:32Speaker 4: Were talking earlier about the Republicans not having a ground
- 1:36Speaker 4: game when it comes through many of these issues through
- 1:39Speaker 4: jerry mandering. Their boat in Virginia is the most recent one,
- 1:42Speaker 4: and the conversation you had with Steve Moore kind of
- 1:45Speaker 4: illustrates part of the problem. And he's not the only
- 1:47Speaker 4: one who does this on it as a Republican pundit.
- 1:50Speaker 4: But they Republicans always like to make it a two
- 1:52Speaker 4: sided argument. You know, they'll say, well, the Democrats did this,
- 1:55Speaker 4: but we're just as bad. The Democrats never make that argument.
- 2:00Speaker 4: Arguments are always one sided. You will never hear a
- 2:03Speaker 4: Democrat say we have the chovrymander because we're just as
- 2:06Speaker 4: bad as the Republican.
- 2:07Speaker 5: You'll never hear him say that.
- 2:08Speaker 4: Whatever the issue is, I mean, it's.
- 2:11Speaker 1: You got to remember that it's different for them. They
- 2:13Speaker 1: got the media to cover up for them. If they do.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Republicans say one false word, it's a fact checked all
- 2:18Speaker 1: over the place.
- 2:20Speaker 6: It's true.
- 2:20Speaker 4: But it's why Republicans have to be even more strident.
- 2:23Speaker 4: And you know, and by but and you know, I
- 2:25Speaker 4: don't tell you the Democrats don't care.
- 2:26Speaker 6: It's the truth.
- 2:27Speaker 4: They're they're getting a point, they're making a point.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Yeah, but again they got media air cover. You're right,
- 2:33Speaker 1: And I don't think you can say to Donald Trump
- 2:35Speaker 1: you need to be more strident. I don't think you
- 2:37Speaker 1: can say that.
- 2:38Speaker 4: No, that's well, he's but he's the only one that's
- 2:41Speaker 4: that's the problem.
- 2:42Speaker 1: That's true. That's a good point. Everybody should be more
- 2:44Speaker 1: trump like. All right, thanks for calling. Let's go to
- 2:47Speaker 1: Pete and Queen's Pete, how you doing.
- 2:50Speaker 5: Mark, how's life?
- 2:51Speaker 6: How things?
- 2:53Speaker 1: Let me check? Everything looks good, everything.
- 2:55Speaker 5: Looks good, fantastic. Well, before you went the commercial break,
- 2:58Speaker 5: you were talking about how much we produce, and that's straight.
- 3:02Speaker 5: The President actually said that we don't really need but
- 3:05Speaker 5: the prices here are still so very high. And maybe
- 3:08Speaker 5: you discuss this, and maybe I miss didn't. I apologize
- 3:10Speaker 5: if you gave the explanation, but could you just explain
- 3:13Speaker 5: this to me. If we are producing so much and
- 3:15Speaker 5: have so much, no.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Reason why, Yeah, you're right, absolutely right. There's absolutely no
- 3:19Speaker 1: reason that we raise the price of oil. We have
- 3:22Speaker 1: all our own oil, produce it ourselves. We don't have
- 3:24Speaker 1: to raise it to match the worldwide price, which has
- 3:27Speaker 1: nothing to do with us. But the oil companies do
- 3:31Speaker 1: it because they like to raise the price. Now we
- 3:33Speaker 1: could order them, hey, put it back to where it's
- 3:34Speaker 1: supposed to be. Don't raise it artificially to match the
- 3:38Speaker 1: rest of the world. Now, the problem is if you
- 3:39Speaker 1: did that, if you force them to do that, and
- 3:42Speaker 1: then they'll start producing less oil. They'll claim they've got problems,
- 3:45Speaker 1: they'll shut down some production, and they'll produce less in
- 3:49Speaker 1: order to cause a price spike. So you got that
- 3:52Speaker 1: little problem. So you could solve the problem of them deliberately,
- 3:57Speaker 1: for no reason at all, raising the price to match
- 3:58Speaker 1: the rest of the world. But it's not worth fighting
- 4:01Speaker 1: with them because all you got to do is wait
- 4:03Speaker 1: about four or five weeks and then things will be soft,
- 4:06Speaker 1: and once this rand situation is straightened out, you're gonna
- 4:09Speaker 1: see oil plunge. It's going to go to sixty dollars
- 4:14Speaker 1: a barrel, which will be absolutely amazing. Let's go to
- 4:18Speaker 1: Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
- 4:20Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Marra Mark. How could we
- 4:23Speaker 6: we be running out of gas? Where we have the
- 4:26Speaker 6: four gas bag ladies on the view. They could power
- 4:30Speaker 6: all our barbecues for the fourth to Jarge July. Mark
- 4:34Speaker 6: ma'a Mondamie, as we all know, is all smoking mirrorge
- 4:38Speaker 6: here yesterday on Earth Day. He's talking about ripping up
- 4:42Speaker 6: more streets, adding more trees and bike lanes. Meanwhile, the
- 4:48Speaker 6: people in Saint Auban's Queens where that poor fifteen year
- 4:52Speaker 6: old kid was shot. The mother was saying, Mandami goes
- 4:56Speaker 6: to visit the criminal who tried to stab the cops
- 5:00Speaker 6: in his mother and they had to defend themselves. Meanwhile,
- 5:04Speaker 6: he didn't, he didn't pay a visit at all. He
- 5:08Speaker 6: didn't go to that community. He's clearly for the criminals.
- 5:13Speaker 6: The mother said, well, he didn't come to visit me,
- 5:16Speaker 6: he didn't come to pay his respects. And if you
- 5:19Speaker 6: were to ask any person who doesn't have purple hair
- 5:24Speaker 6: and those rings in the city of New York, what
- 5:27Speaker 6: would you want more trees and bike lanes, or safer
- 5:32Speaker 6: streets and safer subways where we don't have maniacs pushing
- 5:37Speaker 6: baby carriages and leaving their kid alone in a baby
- 5:41Speaker 6: carriage in Times Square like that homeless couple did the
- 5:45Speaker 6: other night.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Well, Vincent, that's a great point, excellent point, good call.
- 5:49Speaker 1: As always, we got to go for the news and
- 5:50Speaker 1: then when we come back. The great comedian and talk
- 5:54Speaker 1: show host now every night at nine on wo or,
- 5:57Speaker 1: Jimmy Taylor will be with his text
