  Speaker 1: and Queen's Tom. How you doing, Hey, Mark? Good morning Mark.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Ye listening to the Bill O'Reilly and he mentioned he
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: thinks that the guest companies are gouging the consumers. Could
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you ask him about that?
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I just I just gave you actual numbers. Those
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: are the numbers, all right.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: But he's got his own thoughts about it.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: You can have your own thoughts, but I just gave
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: you the actual numbers. That's that's the best thing you
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: can do. Okay. But I mean, the one thing you
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: could argue is they raised the prices to match the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: worldwide prices when they don't have to. But yeah, but
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, if you made them put
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: it back down to what it should be, they'll they'll
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: just drill less. They'll just pump less oil and create short, yeah,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and raise them that way. But the numbers. I gave
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you the actual numbers on what they're making, and it's
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: it's about usual. But they did raise the price to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: match the world wide prices. So let's go to Joe
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and Elmwood Park. Joe, how you doing, Joe? You're there?
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I hear you're breathing. Joe.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Oh there we woke them up. Yes, go ahead, Joe, oh,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Mark I.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about the World Cup. I don't really I'm
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: not a soccer fan, but it's it's twelve fifty for
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: a ticket and our dummy says one hundred and fifty.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: But now she's doing her favorites.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: One hundred and five.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: You're talking about the World Cup.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: The bus tickets, okay?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Oh with the bus tickets, yeah yeah.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: And one thing real fast, Alc, you have to stop
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: calling her a bartender. I don't think she has a
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: mentality be a bartender. It's an insult every bartender.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Well, that's true. You know, I'm thinking about this, the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: arguing about the bus prices to get there. But if you,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: as I said, the ticket to this MetLife tickets that
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: are thirty three thousand dollars, if you're paying thirty three
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: thousand a seat. I don't think you're taking the bus probably,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: but well you might because it's a traffic nightmare getting
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: in and out of there. This is going to just
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: disrupt all of us all over in New York. Let's
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: go to Max in Manhattan. Max, how you doing?
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: Mark? Mike call? You know I can trust you because
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: you take phone calls. I mean, I agree, you're just
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: but there are a lot of a lot of Tulsabadis
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: who are not taking phone calls, like Sit in the Morning,
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Larry Cardlow.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: No. Well wait a minute, now, most morning shows don't
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: take a lot of phone calls. It's different when you're
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: on in the morning.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: They can They can put at least decided five minutes
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: for the whole show for a couple of questions.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, but I'll be honest. I don't take a lot.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I take calls one minute an hour, two minutes an hour.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Now, but look at Mint you in the morning with
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: with Curtis, they could use some phone calls to straighten
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: the mind.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Well, I gotta be honest. Well, they do their own version,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: which is they do the what do you call that? Talkback?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: So that's basically phone calls. It's just you're tight for
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: time in the morning, so they I understand what you're saying,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: but I've got to be honest. Your phone calls aren't
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that exciting. Look at you, did you have you said
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: anything of interest yet? I think so okay, you keep
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: thinking that. Yeah, we don't take a lot of phone
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: calls because uh, and we will love you. But that's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: why you get a great call. But most of the calls,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I think the president should do this. I don't think
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you should do this. I think he should do this.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: It's like just a lot of opinions. It's which we
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: try to stay away. Believe or not, we try to
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: stay away from opinions on the show. We just try
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to give you information. Here's the facts, here's the scoop.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Here's what's going on. Phone calls. It's a nice little
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: touch because we do like to talk to you. But
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: h and as far as the morning shows, they don't
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: really do phone calls ever in the morning, you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: on a talk radio morning show, because you got a
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: million things going on. You know, we just have a
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: newscast at the top of the hour and at the bottom.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: That's about it. But they got traffic, they got weather,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: they got sports, they got so much they got to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: get into the hour. Let's go to uh, Let's go
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to Maria in Terrytown. Maria, how you doing him?
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Mark?
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: You know, I am so worried about this president and
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: the entourage of people he's going to China with.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: Are we like not?
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: We're under estimating the danger here. We have all these
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: capitalists and the president of course, and media, and wouldn't
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: the Democrats just like to get Risen?
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, but I know what you're saying. But you
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: gonna remember he has a great relationship with President She
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: of China. We do a lot have business together. China's
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: economy is not very strong right now. They're pretty dependent
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: on us for things. And presidents have always traveled that
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: China has been going on since Nixon and Set nineteen
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: seventy one or whatever it was, so and they know
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: they know how to protect the president over there. Let's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: go to Greg and Long Island. Greg, how you doing?
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: Good morning? Mark. I just wanted to ask, with the
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: fuel prices the way they are, why doesn't Trump try
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: to pull the same kind rabbit out of the hat
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: that President Kennedy did years ago? With the steel industry,
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: where they were going to raise steel prices even more.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Than because as I said before, yeah, they don't have
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to match the world price. They could keep the oil
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: prices here because we produce all our own oil. There's
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with the rest of the world. We
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: could keep it steady, and you could do it. Kennedy
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: called in all the heads of the steel companies and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: pretty much threaten them. You could do that to the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: oil companies, but then they'll just drill less, just stop drilling.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: And right now we're producing more oil than ever before
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: we used Under Biden, we produced four million barrels a day.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Right now we're doing fourteen million barrels a day. So
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: if you do that to them, they'll just cut back
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: production and get the prices up that way. Let's go
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Marta. This is Uncle Vincent's
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: idea for bringing down your gas prices. A. Number one,
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: do not pay with your credit card because most pumps
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: there's like a tensience difference between if you pay with
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: your credit card and you pay with care if number two,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: if you want to see the World Cup and everything
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: and it's not being carried on American TV. Go get
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: yourself a rocal TV and get yourself the Italian package
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: for ten dollars a month and you'll see all the
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: games you want. I did it the last time, all right,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: number three?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: It wait, I'm just thinking about this. See, I like
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to pump my own gas. I hate an attendant. So
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: if I want to, I gas and I stick my
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: credit card and the pump. I pump my gas. Now
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: if I want to pay cash, I gotta go inside.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: It takes.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know it's it's a little bit more of
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: a hassle, but I never use a credit card when
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: I go by gas or Vincent.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: You got with broccoli rubber band around.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: It, exactly the Andy Boy broccoli the pink one mark.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Another reason why most people don't notice that white beef
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: prices are so high. Joe Biden put the kebash on.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: They were aside from the slaughter When they would bring
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: the cattle to the slaughter house. Before the cattle was slaughtered,
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: they would leave the cattle, the farmer's cattle, on the
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: grounds for so many months to fatten it up before
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: it was slaughtered. Then Joe Biden put the Kebash because
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: of on the on these places, because of so called
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: cow flatulence. So we don't have as many of these
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: fat farms as we used to have. The fatten the catalog,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: it was Joe Biden who.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Did that good point, Vincent, excellent call, thanks for calling.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, we'll talk about this a minute. We're gonna
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: have John Carney next to the editor Breitbart Business Digest,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the smartest guy on oil prices, on inflation. We'll get
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the real story in a minute. That's coming up next
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: on seven to ten wor
