  Speaker 1: Back to Mark Simone on wor Hey, let's take some calls.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: That's eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the number? Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Chuck and Staten Island. Chuck, how you doing?
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Oh? Pretty good? Mark. They're arguing about the fourteenth Amendment.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: But in eighteen sixty six, the Civil Rights Act that
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: was passed said clearly that foreign parents of children born
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: in America were not American citizens. And if that wasn't enough,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: the McCarn Wolter Act of nineteen fifty two said the
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: same thing.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: You've been watching too many Perry Mason episodes. You've been
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: watching a lot to it. Well, now, according to the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: McCarran this was act. The hearings are on now you
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: can follow it. Nothing. They'll explain to.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: You the laws on the pluck.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I know, but we're not experts on this, and I
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: am oh excuse me. Oh, that's it. It's official. Word
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: has come down from Chuck and Staten Island. That's it.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Tell us Supreme Court that can adjourn. It is settled.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Charles in Miller Place. Charles, how you doing?
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Hi, I had a question regarding Bruce Blakeman.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Yes, so what I had heard that he had he
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: had applied for the matching funds and then they had
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: changed the rules.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Is that the case, Well, uh no, that I don't know.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: But they have just totally corrupted that board. It's supposed
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to be fifty to fifty Republicans and Democrats making the decisions.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: They've made sure it's majority Democrats. And Hochel is in
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: panic because Blakeman is making big progress in the recent
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: polls and they got to stop him. So they're trying
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to deny him as matching funds. He'll appeal this and
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: hopefully win. But they also got to force them to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: uncorrupt the campaign finance board. Make it a mixture, an
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: equal mixture of Republicans and Democrats from now, and that
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: was the original idea of it. Let's go to Joe
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and Staten Island. Joe, how you doing good? Mark has
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to going good? Question where the next.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Net export is of oil?
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Right now?
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Why can't Trump get all the oil executives in the
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: country together and basically say for the next three months,
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: we're going to nationalize the industry. We're going to keep
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: our royal in the country. And we're going to set
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: a fixed price of forty dollars a battle for the
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: next three months.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen these guys that run the oil companies?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Not really, it's a bunch of JR. Ewings And who's
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the guy on land man, Kevin Costner.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Does Trump have the authority to nationalize it?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Yea could, but you don't do that. I think the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: last time that was done John F. Kennedy and the
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: steel crisis in nineteen sixty two. Remember he nationalized the steel.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: But it's not at the crisis point where you could
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: do that. But the problem is again it happened in
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the last few weeks, American oil companies raising their price
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: for no reason. It'll all be settled, you'll see tonight
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: they'll announce two more weeks, two and a half more
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: weeks of the war. It'll be over in three weeks,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: four weeks. Prices they did spike up, but they will
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: not only come back down, they'll probably plunge, plunge after
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the war, and that upsets the oil industry more. They
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: don't like the plarsist to plunge. Let's go to Elvis
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in Bridgeport. Is that your name, Elvis?
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir, you would think, you would think.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: More people would use that name, Elvis Presley, Elvis Duran.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: But why aren't there more Elvis.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Is I don't know. I don't know why. I'm probably
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: the only Italian with that name.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Were you named after Elvis Presley?
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I have a cousin in Canada that's named after Elvis too,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: so I guess I'm not the only one.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: So yeah, your family, you wear those leisure suits with
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the sparkly things all over them.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, they're not that. I mean, that's a
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: good one.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: You ever eat those Elvis sandwiches with the bacon and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the peanut butter and the bananas.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: And.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, that's too sweet for me. I'm
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: not into the sweet things though.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And you live in Bridgeport.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: The reason, yes, sir.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: If you call that living, but okay, go ahead.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: The reason I'm calling you and bothering you today is
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: that I don't trust the Republicans in the midterms. It's
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: like they don't they don't fight back enough to the Democrats,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: and they just barrayed them all the time on the media,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: and it's just it's crazy and they're lying and and
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: it's hypocrisy and people believe that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: You're not wrong. But it's the problem is for Republicans,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: you know, they do politics. For Democrats, it's like full
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: time business. It's like war to them, not twenty four
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to seven.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like in their genetics or something. They're just
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: just waiting to get on the media and just baraied Republicans.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: They said, that's Democrats. It happens. They're like at war
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: full time twenty fourth. You know, for Republicans, they're like
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: country club guys. It's like, you know, they're not as
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: aggressive at all that stuff. But you know, when they
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: say there's no voter fraud, you don't have to worry
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: about voter fraud. You live in Bridgeport. You can at
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: chest to the fact.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah I got a mayor down here. That's not too yeah, exactly.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. If you think there's no voter fraud ever, go
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: visit Bridgeport, Waterbury, Hartford, Connecticut is famous for famous for
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: voter fraud. You remember when Stephan Awski was running against
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Lamont and at one o'clock the results came in. He
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: won won by three points and his team told me
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: we lost. I said, well, I see it right there
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: in the computer. You won by three from n you
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: got to win by seven to cover the cheating. They'll
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: take it away in the morning. Remember. Sure enough, the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: next morning the votes got all the They actually said
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the ballots got wet, we have to recount them, and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: sure enough he lost. Let's go to Dennis and round
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: book bound Brook. Dennis.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: How you doing, Yeah, good morning, Mark.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Mark.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Everybody is talking about the fact that only two percent
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: of our oil comes from through the hormone straits, and uh,
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: you know, and yet we see the gas going up
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: to four dollars, and you know, it hurts us Republicans,
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: you know in.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: Terms of the media that it hurts you for two
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: about it hurts somebody's arm because it only hurts you
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: for two weeks and in a month of gas prices
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: will plunge, there'll be a crash in oil prices, and
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: nobody will remember these couple of weeks.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: You know, because he mentioned this morning or I think
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: I read that. You know, even if he settles something,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: apparently they're still not going to be opening the horm
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: move straight.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: So this thing is no, no, they'll get it off.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: It'll be open by by May. And again gas prices
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: spiked to four dollars for a couple of weeks. I
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: remember during the Biden administration it spiked the four dollars
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: for four years. But again, this spike that we had
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: for a few weeks will be totally gone and nobody
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: in the summer will remember the spike at all. In fact,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: you probably once you get all this change in Iran,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you'll probably get the biggest plunge you've ever seen in
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: oil prices. As John Carney, who's an expert on this
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Last Hour explained, the oil companies are going to be furious.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: They don't like fifty dollars a barrel. They like one
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars a barrel. They don't like when it's down
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: to fifty a barrel, which it probably will be in
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a few weeks. Hey, when we come back, we'll talk
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: to Ann Coulter. I'll see what she has to say
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: about all this. Oh, remind I got to ask her
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: about Don Lemon. He thinks he can run for president.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: She'll have plenty to say about this. We'll get to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: that next on seven to ten. Wor
