  Speaker 2: Hey, Roger Friedman, the Great Light Back Studios. Hey, we'll
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: take some calls. Eight hundred three two one zero seven
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: ten is the number. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: how you doing. Good morning, Mark.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: I'm doing very well.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Mark.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: I was watching President Trump's press conference yesterday and the
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: idea of a two hundred and fifty dollars bill featuring
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: his image was raised. Obviously, if this was to happen,
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: they would have to change the law and to make
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: it legal tender. But I'm wondering, why did they discuss
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty dollars?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Isn't that Oh? Because it's the two d and fifty
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: two hundred and fiftieth birthday of America. Oh, I understand.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: It would be like a limited edition, special commemorative bill
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: just this year that put it out. And by the way,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: if you can get one, get one, because it may
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: be worth a fortune. You know those rare bills coins
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: end up being worth a fortune years later. But it's
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth birthday. Let's go
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: to Chris in Manhattan. Chris, how you doing?
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark. I'm not being a panic in this time.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: He's always a panic, and he's always panicking.
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: That's this time. Listen. Who makes up the rules for
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: the bus lanes and the bike lanes and all that stuff.
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: I was driving on twentieth on Madison Avenue in the
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: twenties and thirties. It was one lane. Last night, they
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: have these two enormous bus lanes that are totally being
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: unused at like nine o'clock at night, and the other
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: side is parking. It's one lane going up Madison Avenue.
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: And they have all these side streets, these small side
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: streets with bike lanes on them. Nobody really pays attention
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: to it, but it's an inconvenience because they put up
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: these stupid barriers and there are no bikes on them.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: It's done by politicians who don't know what the hell
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: they're doing. What they do is they take any street
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: four lanes, put in bike lanes, a scooter lanes, bus lane.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Next thing you know, it's only one lane for traffic.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And then after a while they go, look at the congestion.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: We must have congestion pricing to reduce the congestion.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: And there was there was traffic. Last night, like nine thirty,
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: ten o'clock, there was traffic on Madison Avenue and it
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: was because it was all one lane. There wasn't an
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: accident or anything. No, how did the trucks do it
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: during the day, Like if there are trucks there, you
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: can't go on the bus lane. Trucks make deliveries in Manhattan.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: What happens on Madison Avenue when it's only one lane.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: That's what they do, And that's why they have congestion pricing,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: because they create They created the congestion. Get rid of
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the bike lanes, the bus lanes, get rid of all
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: of that.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Maybe never have so many been so inconvenienced for the
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: benefit of so few. I mean all the bicycle lanes
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: or deliveries for you they have hamburgers.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: And stuff exactly. That's the that's the problem. Some of
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the streets have two bus lanes, you only need one
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: stop it with all of that stuff. Get rid of
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: all of that you don't need. You know, sixth Avenue
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: used to be Fifth Avenue, used to be four or
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: five lanes. Now it's one lane, two lanes. Absolutely ridiculous.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: That's why you got congestion pricing. Should not allow politicians
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: to ever ever do stuff like this. They don't know
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: what the hell they're doing. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: how you doing? Good morning? Mark As Mike.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I have to give the Democrats like Elizabeth Warren credit.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: They know how to stick take a story and stick
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: with it. This Graham Plattner story is a perfect contrast
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: with the with the Spencer Pratt story in La Democrats.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: This guy can do no wrong. The guy from Maine,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: on the other hand, you ask a Republican found Spencer
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Pratt and they start to clutch their pearls. Well he's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: not really experienced. Well he could be, and there's all
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: this equivocation the Democrats.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Nope, there's nothing wrong.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Nazi signal. No, it's not a Nazi signal.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: What are your creat Jewish guys.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And Bernie Sanders are supporting him.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Don't be too shocked. If Plattner is gone by Monday,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: don't be too surprised. He could be. You're right, but
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: there's more coming.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And he lasted this long as remarkable.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: There's more common and Republicans have a lot more about him.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: They haven't released yet, but Democrats they're starting to get
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: worried about that so they may replace it. I'm sure
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: you're right. Yeah, they got the main governor who'd be
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: the backup candidate who's pretty good. But well, thanks for calling.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Rich and Myrtle Beach Rich.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: How you doing, Hey, thanks Mark. That guy had it
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: slightly wrong. The Democrats sure know how to get rid
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: of somebody. When they want to get rid of somebody,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: it's not a matter of stick with a story. They
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: put their target on you. You're totally done. You know, Hey,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: this John Bolton's got to go to jail. At least
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: that way, somebody like in Trump's administration will actually put
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: somebody in jail. Beyond balls. But it's funny because John
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Bolton is hated by both sides so much as no
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: way this guy was getting out of this in the
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: first place. He's flip flopped so many times. Both sides
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: hate him. And the last point is Joe Biden. This,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: this doctorate of education can't even write a book and
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: put some sentences together to make anything.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Well, doctor of education, she's a teacher, but she was
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: a teacher at Delaware Community College. Imagine your husband's vice
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: president of the United States and that's the best job you
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: can get Delaware Community College.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I mean my wife was a New City school teacher
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: for twenty six and a half years and they had
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: to do a fantastic job.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: And she could write a better book anybody could. But well,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: thanks for calling. Yeah, it's a platner, an absolute mess.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Republicans got all kinds of dirt on them. Don't be
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: shocked if that comes out pretty soon. Let's go to
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Barbara and Long Island. Barbara, how you doing. Wait a minute, Barbara,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: are you there?
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I am.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: Can you hear me?
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: I can hear you?
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: Go ahead, Okay, great. I know this is a little
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: bit of all news, But I'm still concerned about those
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: people that were going down into the manholes. Yeah, I
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: mean to me, I think I could be investigated a
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: little bit more. I mean, isn't it a concern that
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: maybe they're down there putting Oh.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: No, no, we know why they're down there. They're thieves,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: they believe it or not. If you go through the sewers,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: people lose things, they fall down the grid. If you
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: go look down there and look, you'll find jewelry, you'll
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: find money, you'll.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: Find I'm a little concerned about possible explosive this is
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: some kind of terrorism.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And no, no, no, no, they're all yeah, they're all
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: just crummy little It's probably the lowest job in thief

  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, they got it. And actually they're watching

  Speaker 2: for them now they stopped us. It's it's quite an operation.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: They wear those ed Norton you know, rubber boots and
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: rubber coveralls, and we get that ed Norton sewer clothes.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: They go down there, five or six of them. They
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: go through the tunnels. They pick up everything they can, jewelry, watches, money,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff. Phones, and then they climb back
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: up and there's a car waiting for him. They take
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: off all the dirty, filthy clothes, throw them in the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: trunk and the car takes them away. Hey, when we
