  Speaker 2: Felt like twenty six degrees here this morning, So we'll

  Speaker 2: they get back to the fifties tomorrow. But it was
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: a pretty pretty cold blast last night and the day before.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: You know this, John Thoon, he's gotta go, he better
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: get his uh, you know what of the off the crapper.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: You know, we've got over seventy judge openings that need
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: to be filled. At least Mitch McConnell the Turtle was
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: good at doing these judges and getting judges appointed in.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of red states that have a lot
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: of openings and courting to Laura Ingram, there's something like,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: you know, well over seventy high level judge ships that
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: need to be filled. And John Thuhon in the Senate
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: that they're just not doing anything to look at the
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: long range term you by not doing anything like that.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: No, absolutely Thune is one useless guy. Anytime you see
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a politician, he looks like that senator on the Godfather,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Remember excuse you Corleoh yeah, yeah, it looks like that.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't trust him for a second. Not that I
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: would trust Mitch McConnell either, but you're right, McConnell at
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: least been there six hundred years knew how to get
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: stuff done. Let's go to doctor Bob in Long Island.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Doctor Bob, how you doing okay?
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Mark, good to speak to you. Yeah. I second the
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: emotion about Poon his disastered. He's just treading water. But
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: I'm just swondering Mark. You know, they're really getting ready
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to close some of the airports because the TSA people
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: walking off without getting paid. I can't believe that the
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: senators are getting paid for blocking government functions. And I
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: think that they should set up a priority list of
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: maybe some of the states that have maybe democratic senators.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Maybe took off of Massachusetts airports, maybe take off some
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: of the Chicago and California airports, and announce the schedule
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: when the closures are going to occur. Maybe that'll put
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: some pressure on those senators.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard to pressure these guys, but a good point. Well,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of people want to make sure because normally
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you know these Congressman, House, Senate, they go right through that.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: There's no tsa line for them.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: They go.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: They got escorted right through. An escort actually shows up,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: bring them right through. Everybody wants that stopped, not just
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: during this but forever. You'll notice you hear the Senators,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the Democrats and everybody. They they'll criticize the Secretary of Defense.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: They'll criticize the Secretary of State. But you'll notice you
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: never hear anybody in Congress Democrats, you'll never hear them
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: criticize the Secretary of Transportation, which right now is Sean Duffy.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And the reason they never criticize the Secretary of Transportation
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: is when your secretary of transportation, the first thing you
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: do is should give your cell number to everybody in Congress, Republican, Democrat,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: they all have his cell number. They're going to the airport,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: they can call him, heal, arrange for an escort to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: show up. Whatever you got, any problem in an airport train,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: he call him, take care of it, just like that.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: So you could threaten them with all kinds of things.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: You could threaten them with no more escorts, no more
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of this, and you could just say we're going to
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: have the Secretary of Transportation change his phone number to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a new number that you don't have. Then maybe they'll
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: cave in real fast. Let's go to Foggi in Long Island.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Did I say your name right, Fagi?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Yes? Hi Mark.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: I have a question. Why can't we pass term limits
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: for any member of Congress or political figure? Because presidenttion
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: have term limits? Why are people allowed to be in
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Congress for fifty years? Make a Korea out of it?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah? No, they're all horrible, the worst people of these
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: lifetime senators, Republicans, Democrats, they all stink. But well, the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: reason the problem is they'd have to pass it. They're
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the only ones that can pass it against themselves, and
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: they won't do it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: And also, why can't they pass that if they prevent
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: any Americans who earn their living like the TSA members,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: why can't we pass a lot that says if they
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: prevent that, they will not get paid either. It's frustrating
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: and I feel for those people.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Concress should not get paid during the shutdown.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. Where are you in Long Island?
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: I'm on Bayville, Bayville.

• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm great.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I love your show. Mark.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: I just have a question about the voter ID. I
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: was having an argument with my sister and she said
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: that she doesn't think that, you know, we should have
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: voter ID. And I said, yeah, but how do you
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: know who's voting? And she said, when she took her
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: son to go register to vote, you have to show
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: ago birth certificate. So I just I'm confused. I don't understand.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: All right, let me give you some good advice. Stop
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: talking to your sister. What else you're talking about? Stop
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: talking to her. Everybody has a driver's license. Everybody can
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: show voter ID. It's it's photo I D. It's the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: easiest thing to do. It's everywhere you go, everywhere in
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the world. You have to show a photo ID to
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: get into any office building, to buy medicine, to do anything.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: You had have photo Everybody has it. It's a simple
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: thing to do. But it screws up the Democrats, and
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you know they putting illegals on the ballots and all that.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: It screws them up to do it. So that's the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: reason they keep it posting it. We'll get to this
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: in the next hour. It's a very good topic. In
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the next hour. We'll get to this save act. It's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: very important. You know, the yell and scream on MSNBC
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: or CNN, how it's wrong to make people show a
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: photo ID. It's racist. It suppresses you have to show
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: a photo ID to get into MSNBC or CNN. Every
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: guest on the show has to show a photo ID.
• 6:37
