  Speaker 2: Listen, nobody, nobody would we go to the soapball issue.

  Speaker 3: Did the cops just.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Stand there and let them be assaulted? They didn't do
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: anything about it.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Well, they were showing restraint. You know. That's what Mark.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: That's now, in the age of everybody having their phone
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and video everywhere, you got to give them credit for
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: showing restraint. Now, the good old days, before there was video,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: before there was anybody had a phone, and the good
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: old days, they would have responded that night sticks would
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: have come out and they would get as as Curtis
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: would say, a wooden shampoo. But you can't do that
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: stuff anymore. But they did show a lot of restraint
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: considering what happened. Let's go to Tom and point pleasant Tom.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: How you doing, Yes, good morning, Mark. One of the
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: more noteworthy disappearance and kidnapping was Jimmy Hoffa.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Oh there you go, of course, but that's different. Those
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: were beyond professionals. That was the mob. They know how
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to really really make somebody disappear.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: But I ask you a question, mark, how do you
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: feel about the president selling risk watches on TV? Don't
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: you think that degrades the president? But I think that's a.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Little bit not at all he's got And it's not
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: just risk. It's okay if it's you've been doing it
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: all your life and for years he's been selling the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Trump hats, Trump ties, Trump stuff.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Merchandise as the president.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean he's just continuing what he's always done. Yeah,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you could have. You could make the case. I mean,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: you're not wrong, but I wouldn't worry about it's such
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a tiny, tiny point.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I agree with that.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Have you ever gone to Trump Tower. Go to Trump Tower,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: go down stairs. There's a Trumps store. They sell absolutely
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: everything in the world with the Trump logo on it.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: You'll love it. Now, some people will say it's an egomaniac,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Trump towels, Trump water Trump. Well, no, actually he's been
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: in the hotel business for decades and it's what you
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: do when you're in the hotel business. Every hotel chain,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: you know, you forget Trump owns dozens and dozens and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: dozens and dozens of hotels all over the world. Every
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: hotel chain, Ritz Carlton, Marriott four Seasons has a gift
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: shop where they got Ritz Carlton towels, which Riz Carlton bathrobes,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Ritz Carlton shirts, Ritz Carlton water. It's a normal thing
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you do when you have a hotel chain. It's like
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: when he opened his own steak company. They said, what
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: kind of guy opened? Well, most big chains do that.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: You open your own because it's too much to go into.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It's a lot cheaper if you have your own steak
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: company instead of buying it all the time. So when
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Trump probably owns, I don't know, two hundred restaurants, you
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: form your own steak company. Let's go to Robert and Yonkers. Robert,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: how you doing, hey.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Mark Man, Danny wants the cops to quick because he
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: wants to put a communist patrol in there, and I
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: just think it's crazy. And as usual gold Buchanic.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Go, baby, there you go. You know you got to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: explain that nobody remembers Pat Buchanan was a wonderful guy
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: a million years ago. He used to be a regular
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: guest on this show. Uh. In fact, he's long gone,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: long forgotten. Some people have actually talked about the President
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: should award him one of those one of those medals,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: because he was pretty good. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: how you doing, good morning?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Mark?
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Markom Okay a gentleman who called from Jersey.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: He lived in a town called I hes talking about
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: possums and all the.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Wildlife weg swamp. I have that. I have that kind
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of problem my yard at night, my yard and the possums.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: No like as the vacuum cum.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Hey, Vincent, you're you're all. It's not you. The phone's
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: all screwed up. It's cutting you off. But call us back.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Peter and Flushing. Peter, how you're doing.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Mark, good morning. He used to be a police officer,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: recently retired. As my heart was breaking. Well, I saw
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the police, how they were being treatable. It's more heartbreaking
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: is how this mayor responded to that de moralize in
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: his police, and he's putting them in a position where
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: if they instinctively want to do what they need to
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: do and how they're trained. They won't. They have mace,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: they have body cameras on that. Nobody punishes the police
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: harder than the New York City Police Department when they're wrong.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: If these guys would have defended themselves correctly and enforced
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: laws and ordinances, they should have done everything possible to
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: cop as many people as possible. That should have been
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: a full blown thirteen more cops should have been there, Supervisor.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: I didn't notice. I didn't see any white shirts at all.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: It's just a very very weird dynamic we're living. And
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I'd love to hear your opinion.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the only thing white shirts means captain's lieutenant's
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Where to go? We lost them.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I think he's listening to himself. Ten thirteen is I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: don't know, that's a little it's a ten eighty five
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to fourth with I don't think you can call it
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: ten thirteen over snowballs. But no, you're absolutely right. It's
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: just totally totally out of it, you know. And the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: other problem I'll get to listen to the next hour.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: There's a bunch of studies that have come out when
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: you get lax on these kind of things. It eventually
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: gets people killed. I'll explain Hi. I mean, there's like
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: actual research on this, on how this changes that. Well,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: we'll get to that in the next hour because when
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: we come back we'll talk to the great economist Steve Moore.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: He'll be with us next on seven to ten wor
