- 2:44Speaker 1: thanks for thanks for calling. Let's go to Nancy and
- 2:47Speaker 1: Staten Island. Nancy, how you doing.
- 2:50Speaker 4: I'm great, Mark, thanks so much for taking my call.
- 2:53Speaker 4: I enjoy you and I enjoy the new extra hour
- 2:55Speaker 4: and learn so much from you.
- 2:56Speaker 5: Thank you so much.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Well, thank you for listening. We really appreciate it.
- 3:00Speaker 4: So I have a thought, Yes, with these crazy Trump
- 3:04Speaker 4: deranged liberal leaders, do you think that since common sense
- 3:10Speaker 4: is completely absent, that they're actually using socialism as a
- 3:14Speaker 4: solution to the border, Like they'll go that far if
- 3:18Speaker 4: they can't say, yeah, Trump, you're right, So yeah, you're right,
- 3:21Speaker 4: we have to fix this. But they'll go so far
- 3:24Speaker 4: as use socialism.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Nah, I mean, I understand what you're saying. No, I
- 3:27Speaker 1: think they're just stupid. They just it's they all came
- 3:30Speaker 1: out of these ridiculous indoctrination center universities, Harvard, Columbia, all
- 3:34Speaker 1: these places, and yeah, what was it George Will said
- 3:39Speaker 1: once every twenty years, we've got to do this socialism
- 3:42Speaker 1: fad to remind people of how stupid it is. But
- 3:45Speaker 1: it's a good point, Nancy. But now I think they
- 3:47Speaker 1: just they just don't know any better. They're actually that
- 3:50Speaker 1: stupid that they think they think it can actually work. Well,
- 3:54Speaker 1: let's go to Joe in Elmwood Park. Joe, how you doing,
- 3:57Speaker 1: Good morning?
- 3:58Speaker 5: More could you help me out?
- 3:59Speaker 2: Always here, the Chinese.
- 4:01Speaker 6: Are buying this building, they're buying this property.
- 4:03Speaker 5: The only way they could buy stuff is Americans selling.
- 4:06Speaker 6: It to them.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's a good point. They should restrict some
- 4:10Speaker 1: I mean, you can't ban Chinese from buying. But these
- 4:13Speaker 1: like this property right next to the White House bought
- 4:15Speaker 1: by a Chinese businessman who's tied into Chinese military, Chinese government.
- 4:22Speaker 1: He's been had sniper training. This is not a guy
- 4:24Speaker 1: you want next to the White House. And China going
- 4:27Speaker 1: around buying up all the land next to our food
- 4:30Speaker 1: supply and next to our military basis, there should be
- 4:34Speaker 1: a law against that. I mean, it's too suspicious that
- 4:39Speaker 1: they're going to the middle of the heartland of America
- 4:41Speaker 1: buy up all the land around a vital food supply area,
- 4:44Speaker 1: buy up the land around a military base. It's pretty suspicious,
- 4:48Speaker 1: and you're right that should be banned. Let's go to Dennis,
- 4:51Speaker 1: New York City. Dennis, how you doing.
- 4:54Speaker 6: I'm fine. I just wanted to remind you that our
- 4:58Speaker 6: President Clinton he avoided the draft by running to Canada
- 5:04Speaker 6: asking for asylum. They wouldn't do it to him, so
- 5:06Speaker 6: then he went to England. So we've had a president
- 5:09Speaker 6: who avoided it.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Had lots of presidents. Hey, that was the thing back then,
- 5:13Speaker 1: most people avoided the draft, whether it was Trump, whether
- 5:16Speaker 1: it was Biden. Biden got five student deferments.
- 5:19Speaker 6: But left the country.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Yeah, well Clinton, you know, listen, it was It was
- 5:24Speaker 1: a lot easier for Trump. He had a powerful father,
- 5:28Speaker 1: a lot of connections. He was able to, you know,
- 5:30Speaker 1: take care of things. Biden was in a very sleazy
- 5:33Speaker 1: place Delaware, where he could pull all kinds of crap.
- 5:35Speaker 1: And but for Bill Clinton, he was from Arkansas. There
- 5:39Speaker 1: was a senator who was the senator that tried to
- 5:41Speaker 1: help him was there was a big senator in Arkansas
- 5:44Speaker 1: who tried to help him get out of the draft.
- 5:46Speaker 1: But it was normal back then. People tried to avoid it.
- 5:48Speaker 1: I mean, some guys were great and went and served,
- 5:51Speaker 1: but a lot of people tried to get out of it.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Let's go do what's the name is it Glossop in

- 7:17Speaker 7: China period.
- 7:19Speaker 1: No other countries are very careful about that stuff. I
- 7:23Speaker 1: don't know why we're letting China buy all the land
- 7:25Speaker 1: near military bases. Yeah, no, they're very careful.

- 7:33Speaker 8: that's their rule of thumb for us to GE to
- 7:36Speaker 8: build a big office building and do their business there.
