• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the RNC engagement. It's like a little mini convention where
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: they'll all get together and discuss midterm strategy or maybe
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: think about actually getting some midterm strategy for once. The
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: They do have a problem with messaging and all that.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So hopefully figure that out today. Remember, it's early. It's
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: still August. It's really after Labor Day. People start focusing
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: on campaigns and on elections. So the president will spend
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the night in Texas, this RNC stuff today, tonight, and
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: then tomorrow he goes to NASA to honor the astronauts.

  Speaker 1: In fact, he'll be awarding some medals of freedom and
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that sort of stuff there. Hey, we'll take some calls. 800-
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: 3-2-1-0-7-10 is the number. We've got listeners all over the country,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and let's say hello to a few. Let's go to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Dave in Chicago. Dave, how are you doing? Good morning, Mark.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I'm doing very well, thank you. Mark, I'm not sure
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: if this is known or not, but Dolly Parton's last
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: song called My Place in History will not be released
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: until what would have been her 100th birthday. Now, to
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: add context to this, The remaining Beatles released Free as
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: a Bird back in 1995, which was a John Lennon
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: recording demo that he did back in 1977.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's interesting. We have actually Dolly Parton talking
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: about the song, Dave. It's a good point. You know,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of times, many years later, they release the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: unreleased song or the missing song from the album or
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the never-heard-before unreleased... The reason it's unreleased and the reason
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: it was missing from the album, it wasn't that good.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: If they were making an album and one thing sounded great,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that'd be the first thing on the album. When there's
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: something that was not on the album, it wasn't that great.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: But there is a secret Dolly Parton song. Well, here
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: she is. I'll let her explain it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: You have a secret song locked away in Dollywood that
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: will be released in 2045.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: That's the truth.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Uh, no, seriously, when we, uh, we do a lot
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: of things at Dollywood and one year.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: We thought about that. They asked me if I would
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: write a song that nobody would ever hear. I'll be dead.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: Gone.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Well, it might not be cause I'll be 99. You
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: know me.
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: I might still be hopping.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Wow. Yeah.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: But, uh, she was a very smart woman. We'll, we'll
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: get back to, uh, To Dolly Parton. Let's go to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Jack in Connecticut. Jack, how you doing?
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: Mark, hey. Long-time listener, first-time caller. I'm a big fan.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you might have mentioned this. I
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: don't get to listen to every minute of your show.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Why not? What the hell are you doing? You mean
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you have other things to do?
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: I do try to catch up on the iHeart podcast.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Don't worry. I don't listen to every minute of the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: show either. But go ahead.
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: My father, God rest his soul, was a longtime listener.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: He got me into you. I'll be quick.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to make a quick point. So I
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: don't know if you might have mentioned this, but we
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: all love Dolly, obviously. But coincidentally, Tim Curry also passed
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: away on the same day.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: You don't know how upset I am. I'm such an
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: admirer of his.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I know. He's not Dolly, but.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I'm kidding. We did talk about... First 10 minutes,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I think we talked about Tim Curry. I'm not a fan.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: He was a nice guy. I mean, I met him
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a few times, but would you explain the magic of
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Tim Curry, what it was? Well... Yeah, that's what I thought.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Compared to Dolly, there's no comparison, but, you know, Rocky Horror,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: it had a lot of fans. I.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: I thought it was interesting.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: To go see Rocky Horror at 3 in the morning,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you had to really be drugged up. Yeah, I think
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Thanks, Mark. Okay, thanks for
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: calling in. Listen, it was a cult, that Rocky Horror stuff.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, there were people that, remember they would see
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it over and over? They would see it like 50 times?
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: But again, they were all drugged up. They weren't even
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: seeing it when they were there. Let's go to Joseph
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: in Manhattan. Joseph, how are you doing?
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, Mark.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: Dolly Parton.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: Dolly Parton, the real inflation.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Even Vincent from Brooklyn wanted to hit on them.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: And Johnny Carson on his Tonight Show.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I remember we played it yesterday on the show.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: And Johnny Carson.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: All right. I want you to do me a favor.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I want you to go take a cold shower right
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: now and calm yourself down. You're getting a little too
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: excited here.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Cowabunga.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right.
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: Great show as always, Mark.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: This guy definitely owns a raincoat, I can tell. Let's
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: go to Max in Manhattan. Max, how are you doing?
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Mark, thank you for taking my call. In August 6th
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: of this year, Hochul signed into effect that if you're
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: in a hospital and for whatever reason the doctors decide
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: that they want to off you and get rid of you,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: I'll send a nurse in there in the middle of
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: the night and give you an injection without your family's
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: approval or your approval. And it's called MAID, M-A-I-D.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, he's not kidding. There is such a thing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: This is the crazy legislature we have now and crazy
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochul. And they're like, it's a Dr. Kevorkian type medicine.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Kevorkian times 20.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's actually much worse. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: people went to Kevorkian voluntarily. And, uh, boy, uh, I
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: don't know what she's up to or the legislature's up to,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: but a lot of times, uh, you know, they remember
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: that Dr. Kevorkian, if you were really sick, if you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: were in so much pain, if there was no hope,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: you could go to him and it was assisted suicide.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: And remember the rebellion against him? Remember 60 minutes had
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: him on the air and they tore him apart. And they,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: there was such rebellion against how this was the most
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: evil man on earth. And this is a, But through
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the years, things have changed a little, especially now that
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: there's these big hospital systems. You know, it's like five
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: hospital systems can control everything. And they're run by bean counters. And,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you know, they're starting to realize, you know, if they
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: do get rid of some of these patients, it would
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: save ourselves a fortune, a lot of money. So it's coming.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Whatever Democrats thought 30 years ago, they never think that now.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Like Bill Clinton, if he tried to run now. Would
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: have to run as a Republican. John F. Kennedy, we
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: talked about this yesterday. You know, they want Trump's name
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: off the Kennedy Center. But the Democrats today, if they
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: knew what Kennedy stood for, they'd want his name off
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the building. Kennedy was anti-abortion. Very, very, very hawkish. Military
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: escalation in Vietnam. He was a tax cutter. Oh, if
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: they knew about the real Kennedy, not to mention all
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the womanizing. But anyway, so let's go to Martin in Miami. Martin,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: How are you doing?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: Listen, two things. I was wondering, this Pieta Terra tax,
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: is this just a way for the government to tax
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: these guys, these people, these billionaires that live in New
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: York City for less than 182 days?
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Was that ever brought up? Well, it just sounds good.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Go after the rich, annoy the rich. You live in Miami?
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: You don't have a place back here.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Do you?
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: No, no, I don't.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: So you're saying.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: No, but I was just thinking that, you know, I've
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: heard all these stories about how they've got people tracking
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: these billionaires so that they can.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Well, that's a different.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a different thing. That's the tax department, state
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: tax department. They do carefully track everybody. You know, if
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: you move to Miami, you move to Florida or wherever
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: you move, and you say, that's it, I'm no longer
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a resident of New York. You're only allowed back here
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: like 180 days or something. But they track you like crazy.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: And everybody thinks that they can fool these tax people
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: that are looking to get your money. You can't. They're
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: checking your cell phone GPS to see exactly where you were.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: And there's a whole list of like 200 things you
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: have to do to claim you're a Florida resident. You've
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: got to have all your primary doctors there. If you
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: come to New York, you can only see a specialist.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: You have to have all sorts of things moved down there. Now,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the pied-à-terre tax, that's just to go after the rich.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: It sounds good. Look how we're. You remember they did
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: this about 15 years ago. They did the same thing
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: with the private jet tax. We're going to tax every
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: private jet owner. It sounded great. Until they figured out
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: there's only about 75 people that have a private jet.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: It didn't raise any money. It doesn't do anything. Same
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: thing with the pied-à-terre tax, which you'll never see it.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: It'll never happen. Because they started out with $ 100, 000, then
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it was $ 17, 000. Now it looks like it's $ 2, 000. It's
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: not going to be enough to mean anything. Hey, I'm
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: here 9 to noon every day. That's our new time,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: 9 to noon. And then at noon, you got Buck
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: and Clay with a great show. Then you got the
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: most listened to radio show in America, Sean Hannity at 3,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Jesse Kelly at 6, the very funny Jimmy Fela. He'll
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: be with us later today in the third hour right
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: here on 710WOR.
