• 0:29
  Speaker 2: my friends and family to watch Channel 1. I put
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: on Channel 1 and it wasn't on. I couldn't find it.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Well, you live out in Huntington. You got that horrible
• 0:38

  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got that News 12.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: So I went to Channel 64, but you have to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: have a special program.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's why she wanted to do it on
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: New York One, because nobody has New York One. Nobody
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: sees New York One. It has 12 viewers.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: What a shame. I really wanted to watch it.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: You can watch it. It's up on YouTube. Go watch
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: it on YouTube.
• 1:03

  Speaker 2: extra hour.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Thanks. Everybody can watch the debate. It's up on YouTube.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Just go to YouTube. You can see the whole thing.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It's only one hour, but you can watch it on YouTube.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Chris in Manhattan. Chris, how you doing?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: How you doing?
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: I have a favor to ask. In the next couple
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: of weeks, well, in the next two weeks or so,
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: when you have financial people on, could you ask them, like,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: what's the best strategy if the Democrats do take over
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: as far as the stock market? Like, what stocks might
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: go up? What stocks to sell? How it's going to
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: affect us? I'm not saying that we're going to lose.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: But I'm saying if you could just get some people
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: to tell us how to handle the fact that the
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: House might go.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: First of all, those guys never know what stocks to buy.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: When you ask them, they're always wrong. You know what?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: You want to know? Ask Charles Payne. Watch Charles Payne.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: He always gets it right. But the great economists, the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: great financial experts, they never know what stocks to buy.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: But all stocks.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Now are on a tear. But if the Democrats come in...
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Won't that turn, I mean, their plan is to get
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: rid of the oil, so won't that make the oil
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: price stocks go down?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, that's kind of a no-brainer. Yeah, that's a no-brainer. But,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you know, you buy stock in the green energy companies.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: First of all, Democrats always bring the stock market down
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit. Don't worry about it. Just, again, just
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: invest safely. Let's buy an S & P 500 fund.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: One more question. How can I get you to unblock
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: me on Twitter and Instagram?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, you must have put up a bad comment.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: You know, I saw you once at the cutting room
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: years and years ago, and I asked you, could you
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: please unblock me? This makes no sense. And you said,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: I don't handle this. Who can I get in touch
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: with to do this for me?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: If you got blocked, it's because you put up a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: bad comment.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: But find it. There was no bad comment.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: No, there was.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, I've been your fan for years.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: There's no other way to block you except from a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: bad comment.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Okay, how can I get unblocked?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Well, a bad comment could be that you said something
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: nasty about somebody, that we had to block that. Or
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: it could be there was a post about food or something,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and you put up something political, something inappropriate.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't remember if I did that.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is, who handles your account that
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: I could ask them to unblock me?
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Nobody. If you don't remember doing it, if you can't
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: acknowledge the problem, there's no way to solve it then.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: But, like, you were at the cutting room, like, 12,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: 14 years ago, right? It was a while ago. I
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: won a contest. And that was one of the prizes,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: to go see you at the cutting room.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And the loser had to go see me twice.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Okay. Anyway, take care. Thank you.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Bye-bye.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Let's go to George in Long Island. George, how are
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Hi, Mark. You said everything correct. The problem is not
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: many people watched it. I don't know if the statistics
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: came out on the shelf. And believe it or not,
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: I have an MBA. Tell all your audience, don't buy
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: individual stocks. Buy ETFs, like you said, S & P 500,
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: and they'll be safe.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: You shouldn't worry.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: That's all I have to say. But don't take advice
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: from me either.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no. Don't take advice from any of these people.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Even the great economists, they never know what stocks to buy.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike in Portchester. Mike, how are you doing? Mike,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: are you there?
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: We didn't wake you, did we? No, no, no.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I had to step out of my car. I called
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: because that debate last night is typical. I mean, she's
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: saying and blaming President Trump. In the meantime, she created
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: this fiasco of a state that doesn't prosecute these people.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Cuomo, Hochul, no bail, no jail, let all
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the criminals loose. They want to close prisons, let everybody out.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: ICE is coming in here to arrest criminals only. They're
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: not arresting legitimate citizens. They're arresting illegals who have specifically
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: committed crimes and are actual criminals. They're taking them out
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of New York, taking them off the streets. It's the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: reason the crime rate is dropping. And she wants to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: stop that. So when it comes to crime, it's a no-brainer, obviously, Blakeman.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Dave in Staten Island. Dave, how are
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Hi, Mark. Just a comment. Bruce needs to make Kathy
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: publicly define the words outward migration. And once she defines
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: those words.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: He needs to have a... Well, that's why they don't
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: hire you as a debate coach. Outward migration. It's a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: term that doesn't register with anybody. He said that in
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the debate a couple of times. Everybody's leaving. People are
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: moving out. That's how you know when you're doing well.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: We're actually number one in people leaving the state. Leaving.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Cuomo started that, too. Remember, Cuomo was so bad as governor.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: There was a period of a year and a half
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: where you couldn't get a moving van. You couldn't get
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: a moving company. They were all tied up with so
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: many people fleeing New York. Let's go to Bill in Idaho. Bill,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, how are you?
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: I worked in the New York 210 census and the
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: 220 COVID census. And for that one, the second one,
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: no one counted anything. The offices were mostly closed. And
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: then the feds ruled that they overcounted by 625,000 people,
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: which should have cost New York two seats. But New
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: York just said, screw that. We're only eliminating one seat.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: Why aren't the Republicans all over that?
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Well, because it may not be true. Who knows? We're
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: taking your word for it. But, yeah, the census, it's
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: usually a mess. They count illegals. They count everything in there.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: You know, the other problem, when you lose all these people,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you lose congressional seats. Under Cuomo, we lost two or
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: three congressional seats because so many people left the state. Hey,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: speaking of great economists, we've got one coming up next.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to Steve Moore, we hope, coming up next
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: on 710WOR.
