  Speaker 1: Now more marximon on sevent tenor.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's gonna be a rain on the way, It's
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: gonna be a bit of a mess. It's a grid
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: lack alert day to day because of the World Cup.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I'm not a World Cup fan. A lot of people
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: here just they're not soccer fans. But it's good for everything.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: It's bringing in tons of business. A million tourists have
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: come in, spending a fortune. You know, it's not just here.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: They're in Philadelphia there, and they're all over America, all
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: these cities. And as you heard on the news, American
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: tourists love it here. I mean the foreign tourists love
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: it here in America. They're amazed. You know, a lot
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: of these people are for you know, these countries where
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you know, if you're living in England or anywhere else Europe,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: they have fake news there too, and it's the same
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: fake news it's you America's. You know, it's a dictatorship.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: We have a fascist. It's awful. Everybody's suffering. The economy
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: is in shamble. You know, they believe all that. Many
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: of them are stunned when they get here find out
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: everything is booming and everything is happy and everything is
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: wonderful than we say. He's a British American.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: The only thing I'm loving about the World Cup is
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: seeing everyday American people finally get their moment in the spotlight.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Seeing the way you've welcomed the Scott's in Boston, the
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Algerian folks in Kansas, the Dutch in Texas.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: It's just been had enough of that guy. What else
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: we got here? Australians feel like I've been lied to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: my entire life about America.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Like, I mean, Florida, this beach is insane, like just
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: as good as Australian beaches.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, let's say we've got them from all over
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the world there. We don't hear all of them. But
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: they're absolutely thrilled being here. They really love it. They
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: are amazed by some things they didn't know about. You
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: know what. One of them is ranch dressing. Many many
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: tourists here. Then some of the World Cup players they've
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: never had ranch dressing. They think it's the greatest thing
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: they've ever tasted. They're buying tons of it and shipping
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: it back. Ranch dressing. Now all the major you know,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: companies that make dressing make this range stressing. I'm sure,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: they're on this already and planning to bring it to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: other countries as well. One of the problems we have
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: in many countries there's no you don't tip when you're
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: in a restaurant. There's no tipping. It's built into the bill,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: it's a service charger. They just don't tip. So it's
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: a big problem here in American restaurants and bars where
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: all these World Cup people are coming, because you know,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: they usually come in large groups. There's like seven, eight, nine,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: ten of them, and that's a big check for a waitress,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: and they just don't tip. So a lot of these
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: restaurants don't know what to do. Kansas City, Atlanta, Philadelphia,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: they're all adding automatic twenty percent gratuities to the check
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: and it is that that they're cheap. These people, they
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: just don't know you're supposed to tip. There have been
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of big tables. They come in, like twelve
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: in a group, and the check seven hundred and they
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: don't leave a tip, so they're having to stick to
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: this on the check. You know, about one point two
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: million soccer fans have come into this area, not all foreign,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: but tourists of all kinds. One point two million soccer
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: fans are flooding the region for the World Cup matches
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: at MetLife Stadium, So that's why it's an absolute mess.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Every hotel room is booked, restaurants everything is packed, all
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: this World Cup stuff going on. Hey, my friend Mitch Modell,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Remember Modell's the great sporting goods store. They were all
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: over in New York, New Jersey, actually all over the northeast.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Having a press conference today. He says he's got a
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: big announcement. Everybody getting impression Models is coming back. I
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: don't know. I talked to him Saturday. He didn't say
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: a word to me about anything, but we'll see. It
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: may be coming back. That would be good. Hey mentioned
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: this before Sixth Avenue. Mom Donnie had this ridiculous plan
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: for Park Avenue to get rid of all the car lanes,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: like one car lane, expand that mall in the middle. Well,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: now he's got this plan for sixth Avenue and instead
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: of one bus lane, two bus lanes, and instead of
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: one big bike lane, two big bike lanes, which would
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: bring Sixth Avenue down to one or two lanes of traffic,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: which is absolutely ridiculous. You realize how important Sixth Avenue
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: is we're on sixth Avenue. Here, Foxes on sixth Avenue,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Radio Cities on sixth Avenue, a million things. It's one
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: of the main if you're coming up town, it's like
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the main street to come uptown on. In fact, they
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: move the Thanksgiving Parade a few years ago to sixth
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Avenue because it's the biggest widest avenue. So this Mam
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Donnie plan would take it down to like one or
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: two lanes. It's gonna be absolute gridlock every day everywhere.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: It's the stupidest plan in the world. But that's the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff Mom Donnie comes up with. I ran
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: straight of horn Moose. Well, they're all screaming about opening
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: this straighth hor Moose is slightly open. What they call
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the Southern Route is open. It's been open for a while.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: That's the part that hugs the coast of Oman. All
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the mines have been removed from there. It's perfectly safe.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: The US Navy is patrolling it. Many ships have quietly
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: been coming out of there with lots of oil. So
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: that's what they call the Southern Route is open straight
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: of horm Moose, and they'll have the rest of it
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: open pretty soon. Hey, the horses in Central Park. We've
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: finally had a terrible, terrible situation. The tourists are in
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: the carriage. They want to take a picture in the carriage,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: so the driver gets out to go ten feet away
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and take the picture of them in the carriage. Now
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: he's not in the carriage anymore, and the horse starts
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: running and bucking and going crazy, and it throws the
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: the mother out of the carriage, and it throws the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: cat out, and the kid falls and hits his head
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and dies. I mean, it's a horrible, horrible accident. So
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the people that want to get the horses out of
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Central Park are up in arms again, but this time
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: they got a lot of people behind them. City council
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: holding hearings. Donnie looks like he's behind them. To get
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: those horses out of Central Park. I don't know. I mean,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: my first priority get those petticabs off the street. They
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: are the worst, those petticabs with that illegal alien cycling
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: bicycling a million miles. If they're awful, they just snarl
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: up track, no reason for them. The horses are kind
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: of something special about those horse drawn carriages. But do
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: we really need them? You know? I think Curtis said,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the best idea keep the carriages, make them electric. You
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: don't need the horse. Keep the carriages, get rid of
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: the horse, make them electric. You could do that. Now.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Part of the charm of it is the horse. But
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: you make them electric. They don't have the smell of
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the horse, they don't have the uh droppings of the horse,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: they don't have all those other problems. I don't know.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: It's a good idea to me? Is that Bruce? We
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: have Bruce. Oh okay, uh, you know, we got the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: worst governor ever, Kathy Hockle. It's just an absolute disaster.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: NASA County has the best county executive in the America
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: and that job is basically being a governor, so he
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: he would be the greatest governor. Bruce Blakeman is running
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: against Kathy Hochland. We hope he wins. You can help,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: donate or whatever you want to do. Go to Blakemanfronewyork
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: dot com. Blakemanfronewyork dot com. Bruce Blakeman, how you doing.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Doing good? Mark? Thank you for having me on again
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and thank you for your friendship.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Well let's hope you Hey, I notice you've been very
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: busy lately. Every time we call you on a plane,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: you're on that till. You've really been working hard on
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: this campaign, haven't you.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: We have, and it's really really working out great. We're
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: gonna win Mark. Every place I go in the state,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: people are miserable under Kathy Hoko. They know that we
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: are the most overtaxed state in America, that are electric
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: bills are seventy percent higher than the national average, that
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: she's the most pro criminal governor in the whole United
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: States of America, and that now she is Comrade Kathy
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: completely aligned with Mandami, the Kami again. People are miserable
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: here in New York. They want a governor that'll make
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: them happy. Mike County people are happy. They're making money,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: they're not paying high taxes. They have the safest county
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: in America, according to US News, and we're a report.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: So we just want to apply those principles to the state.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Put New Yorkers first, stop spending money on illegal migrants
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: who just got here. Let's spend it on New Yorkers.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: So that's what they want, and that's what I will
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: provide when I become governor.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I doesn't hope realize she's been governor for many years
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: now that if she had had any success, she would
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: have a huge following, a huge base, and Mamdannie would
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: be catering to her. When is it supposed to work
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: that way?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: You would think so, But again, Kathy's record is a
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: straight FS. If you look at a report card, it's
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: straight FS. When it comes to taxation, I'm going to
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: cut taxes. I want to have the biggest middle class
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: tax cut in the history of the state. Any individual
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: making fifty thousand dollars or less, you don't have to
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: pay state income tax. If you're a joint filer one
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand, you don't have to pay state income tax.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: For those who make more, your first fifty thousand dollars,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: no taxes. Because it's the middle class that drive the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: economy here in New York State, and they've been taking
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: it in the neck for far too long with Kathy
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Hokeel with the high taxes and high electric rates.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, par the reason we have such a ridiculous out
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: of control spending. We overpay by like ten thousand percent
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: for everything, whether it's paid in the road or you know,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: subway stuff. We just overpay like crazy and that's the
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: business model of these politicians, hand out these massive contracts
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: in exchange for whatever. What can you do about that, Well.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: We're gonna We're gonna cut out all the fraud, waste
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and abuse. Mark. There has to be tremendous fraud and waste.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: When you think about the fact that our state budget
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: is twice the amount of the state of Florida and
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: they have four million more people than us. Wow, it's
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: just wrong. We don't have a revenue problem in the state.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: We have a spending problem. Kathy Hochel has spent money
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: on illegal migrants eight billion dollars over the last three years,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: eight billion dollars. She's given another five billion dollars to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: zo un Mondamie to bail out New York City, and
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: New York City has no strings attached, so they're continuing
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to spend money on program that don't exist, programs that
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: have fraud, programs that have waste and abuse. That ends
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: on day one when I become governor. I'm going to
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: cut our spending. We're going to give the money back
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to the people. We're going to cut our utility rates
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: in half by getting rid of the green energy scam
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and the taxes on your bill and the excessive delivery charges.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Kathy Hochel has approved forty five rate hikes in just
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: four years, and no wonder why we're paying so much
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: in electric bills.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Hey, but the other reason is Governor Calmoll also a
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: disaster closed Indian point that was twenty five percent of
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: our electricity. And shouldn't we be fracking. Don't we have
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: a ton of energy right under us.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Mark, We have one of the largest natural gas reserves
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: in the world here in New York. We don't extract
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: it because Kathy Hochel doesn't get campaign contributions from people
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: that live there on the southern tier in New York.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: On the other side of the border in Pennsylvania, they extract.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: They're driving brand new Cadillac Escalades. On the New York
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: side of the border, it's twenty five year old, rusted
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: out pickup trucks. We could create jobs, we could create
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: economic prosperity, and we could materially lower the cost of
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: electric bills in our state with this big supply of
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: natural gas, which is clean energy. And the worst part
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: of it, Mark is in Pennsylvania where they are allowed
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: to extract that natural gas we're buying it from them,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: So it's totally hypocritical. It's not like we're saying no
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: natural gas. We're buying it from Pennsylvania, hurting our own people,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: hurting the all the people who are ratepayers in the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: state of New York, making Pennsylvania fat. And it makes
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: no sense whatsoever. So yes, I will extract that natural gas.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: It will lower the cost by increasing the supply, we
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: will have a reliable source of energy. That is right,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: we are in New York State.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, it makes so much sense. And when people say, wow,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: it's tough for a Republican to get elected the demographics
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: or how do you answer.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: That, Well, I got re elected in a landslide in
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the county with one hundred and ten thousand more Democrats.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: So when you provide quality services at a cost of
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: fision price, you don't raise taxes. You create better jobs
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: with better benefits, you create economic activity. And when you
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: support law and order in your communities and support the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: blue my county is the safest county in America according
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: to the US News and World Report. Because we take
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: that seriously, that's what everybody wants. I don't care what
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: you're Republican, Democrat or independent. Everybody wants the same thing.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: So I'm asking everybody to go to Blakemanfromnewyork dot com.
• 13:59

• 14:30
  Speaker 2: way to get anything done with that kind of legislature.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: But you've been dealing with that kind of situation in
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: your whole life, haven't you.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what. It's a negotiation process. The governor
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: of the State of New York has tremendous power and
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: leverage over the legislature. I will use that power and
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: leverage to cut taxes, cut utility rates, and make your
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: safer communities. And it'll get process. It'll be a negotiation process.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: The Democrats, they'll want some things. I understand that we'll

  Speaker 1: work it out. But as long as I can make
• 15:01

• 15:05

• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Thank you. I want to say that I completely support
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: keeping the carriages and not beanning them. First of all,
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: I don't think those horses are abused. I think that
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: in regard to how long they've been around, they have
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: a pretty safe history. Yeah, and one that helicopter can't
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: accident happened that wiped out a whole family, which is horrible.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: As this tragedy, this was also a tragedy. No one
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: spoke about banning the helicopus.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Actually, years ago they had believe or not, you could
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: land a helicopter on the pan Am building which is
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: now the MetLife Building. They had a helipad on the top.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: People would come in from the airport and a hundred
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: times a day. One of them crashed and it killed,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: and they banned it right then and there. But I
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: agree with you. But when was the last time you
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: took a riding one of those horse drawn carriages.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: I hadn't taken a ride in a long time, but
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: I used to see them frequently, and the horses did
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: not look like they were The horses looked healthy. And
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: if you got rid of those horses, they probably end
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: up being a slaughter for their meat.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Them all very good points, all right, I have to
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: agree with you, Ka, very very good points. Thanks for
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: thanks for calling. You know, if I were a horse,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: I think I would like that. You know, you're a horse.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: What are you going to be out in a farm
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: somewhere doing nothing when you could be in Central Park
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: walking around Central Park every time? It's a good job
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: for a horse. I guess let's go to Peter in
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: New York. Peter, how you doing?
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: Hey, Mark, thanks for taking the club.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: A quick question. If Bruce Blakeman becomes the governor of
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: New York, can he get rid of Mondamie and Alvin Bragg?
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: He can get rid of Alvin Bragg just like that,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Believe it or not. District attorney's a state job. He
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: can fire Alvin Bragg immediately and put in a real
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: district attorney that he can do. Mayor's a little tougher.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: You got to have some sort of you can You
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: can remove him for thirty days, but then it goes
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: to a hearing and I think the legislature votes on
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: it then. But yeah, you're right. I forgot to mention
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: that he can get rid of Alvin Bragg's good point.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: DeSantis had to do that in Florida. The Soros types
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: got one of those Alvin Braggs elected in Florida who
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: was letting everybody out, not prosecuting. And Blakeman, I mean,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: DeSantis removed him, just removed him from office, stuck in
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: a real DA and it changed the whole crime situation.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: That's another reason you got to vote for Bruce Blakeman.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich How you doing?
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: Hey? Thanks Mark? Only you love New York so much
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: that you would want a horse to be in the
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: city and not be out in the pasta just doing nothing.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, if you're a horse set out in
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: the past, you're doing nothing. It's gotta be a little boring.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't you rather be in New York? Let's say you were.
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: The horse now if you go, now, if you've got
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: a lot of female horses around, that's all they do, right, Hey, listen,
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: I heard you talking about tipping before. You know, down
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: here in Myrtle Beach, the big scam now is you know,
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: the credit card company's always going to charge a restaurant
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: like one and a half percent to run the card.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: The restaurant's now charge three at three and a half percent,
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: so they're doubling the money. So they're actually making more
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: money on your check. When they only have to give
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: the credit card company one point five percent, they're keeping
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: an extra one point five or two percent. And now
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: people down here up and arms and that about that,
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: and we want haint no kind of restaurants here. I
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: try to use as much cash as I possibly can.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: You know, yeah, no, I've noticed that. You know, they
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: charge a little more for a credit card, but I
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: noticed a little more got to be like double what
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: it's supposed to be. You're right, they're making.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: It pro exactly exactly.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Well, you can walk around just paying in cash, but
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: then you know, you look like Tony soprano or something.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: Cash is what makes us well. Go around, Mark. You know,
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: mom and pop, fifty dollars turns of a lot of
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: money when it goes through three or four hands.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: I hate to break it to you. For most people,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: there's no cash anymore. No, most people don't, especially under thirty,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: they don't. They don't have any cash. They don't carry
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: it anymore.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: Well, you never want to bring your credit card to
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: a script called, otherwise you end up like twenty thousand
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: dollars and you passed out in the couch somewhere like
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: in the movie.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, I never thought about that. What are you do
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: in the strip club? I can't Venmo the stripper? Can you?
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. All right, thanks, thanks for calling.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Lee in New Jersey. Lee, how you doing?
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Hi?
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark, Thank you for taking my call. Yeah,
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: I have three points, but I'll try.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Let's try won and see how you do.
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, now, okay, then I'll put it's my birthday Thursday.
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: I'm going to be seventy.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Oh hang on, let me see if the gift shops.
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: On my last point. My first point was about the
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: Obama Library building. It reminds me of a modern day
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: tower of babble.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, first point, this kind of mediocre. Let's save the
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: other two points for tomorrow. Thanks for calling. Let's go
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark, Good morning, Marah. Marked. The driver of
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: that carriage, the horse carriage, he's on the hook because
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: it was against the rules to get out of the
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: cab and take a shot.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: Mark.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: You're right about the Europeans not tipping. That's because in
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: Europe and most of the places I visited, the gratuities
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: built in the bill. If you want to give something extra,
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: you can mark that Obama Museum looks like the trash
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: can in most of the fair food restaurants or raised
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: pizza store with that swinging door at the top that
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: they had. On Juneteenth. Last week, a representative of the
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: Black Construction Workers and the Black Builders Association of Chicago
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: made the rounds on the media and he was complaining
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: that a lot of the subcontractors are on the hook,
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: that Obama didn't paid them and many of them lost
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: their contracts with their building material suppliers. Some of them
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: to make ends meet, how to put second mortgages on
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: their house.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not getting paid. You notice they can't get
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: any coverage. I wonder why anyway, Vincent, great call, thanks
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: for calling you. If that were the Trump library and
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: contractors weren't paid, that's all you'd be hearing about. The
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Obama coverage has left that out of the story. Hey
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: be back in a moment and lots to get to.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: It's the Mark Simon Show Live from ther Life back studio. Well,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: you know, they had the US Open at Shinnecock Out
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: in Rotten the Hampton's big golf tournament. Scottie Scheffler won
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: the tournament, and it's a big win for him. But
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: all these golfers said, that's crazy about playing in Long Island.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, we love Long Island. But the fans a
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: little loud yelling and screaming and heckling. You know, at
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: a golf tournament, the announcer talks like this, and he said,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: you know, everybody talks like this a golf tournament. You're
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: not supposed to be yelling, screaming. It's it's not a
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: NASCAR race. But Scheffler got heckled a lot. This guy
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Clark got heckled a lot, yelling, screaming, cheering, not supposed
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: to do that at a golf tournament. But okay, hey,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel announced he is going off the air for
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: the summer. Now I don't get this. The guy was
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: almost fired. He just barely hung on to his job.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: And oh, sorry about that. I had to sneeze. But
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: and ABC not too thrilled with him. You know, they
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: made it sound like we're standing by, We stand by
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel. Meantime, they wouldn't give him a new contract.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: The current contract was about to expire, so they gave
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: him a one year extension. That's the most insulting thing
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: in broadcasting. That's the most insulting thing you can do
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: to somebody. Your three year contract is up, the most
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: flattering thing. New three year contract. Well, actually we'd like
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: to sign you for five years. That's flattering. But if
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: you had your three year contract coming up, and I'll
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: give you another three year contract, that's perfect. But when well,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: we'll give you a one year extension, that's insulting. So
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: he's on a one year extension. Yet he just announced
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: he's going to take the whole summer off. Now, this
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: is unheard of. He says, I will be taking the
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: next two months off, this time voluntarily, and he announced
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: the guest host Tiffany had Ash, Coleman Domingo, Anthony Anderson,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Jelly Roll, Ike Baron Holtz. Do you know who these
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: people are? I think I recognize two names there, and
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: then I get this. He's asked Rosie o'donald to be
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: one of the guest hosts. Now, she's the one who's
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: having the biggest feud for the most years with Donald Trump,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: his arch enemy. Rosie o'donald, he has asked her to
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: guest host. Now, she's the one that left the country
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: over her Trump derangement syndrome. She moved out of the country,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: said she fears for her life, and that's why she left.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: She fears for her safety. That's why she left. However,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: oh a job, you know, I'll be right back. So
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: she's flying back to do the Jimmy Kimmel Show as
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: the guest host. Obviously, Kimmel likes it because it's real
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Trump hatred and she's really, really, really going to go
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: after him, and even more than Kimmel probably, and it'll
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: bring a lot of attention to the show. So she
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: likes that. Hey Trump by Donald Trump, By the way,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: President Trump showing off the new Air Force one. It
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: is an amazing plane. Now, the Air Force one he's
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: flying on is about thirty five years old. It really
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: should be put out of its misery. But the new
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Air Force ones from Boeing, they usually make two or
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: three of them. The new Air Force ones aren't ready yet.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: It's going to be two years. So Cutter Lended actually
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: gave him a plane they didn't need. This's how rich
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Cutter is. They had an extra plane that the Sultan
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: or whoever was flying around in. It's bigger than Air
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Force one. It's like fifty feet longer. It's one hundred
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: times more magnificent. If you look at the online at
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: the pictures, it looks like the most luxurious hotel inside.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: President Trump showed it off on Friday. But our pilots,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: designers and engineers prepared an aircraft that is the largest
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Air Force one ever built. It flies further and faster
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: than any Air Force one. Yeah, it is absolutely breathtaking insight.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: It's huge. It has like three bedrooms, I mean beautiful,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: magnificent bedrooms. It has a grand staircase that has a
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: living rooms. It's absolutely the most opulent plane ever in
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: the world, and he'll use that for the next couple
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: of years. Then the new Air Force one will be ready. Hey,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: you know who died over the weekend? James Burrows. Great writer, director, producer,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: creator of shows. He was a great comedy writer. He
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: wrote for The Mary Tyler Moore Show for years, and
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: then The Bob Newhart Show, The Good Bob Newhart Show,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: the one where he's a psychiatrist in Chicago, and then
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: he went on to create all these shows with his partners.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: They created Taxi and Frasier and Cheers and Friends and
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Will and Grace and Mike and Molly. They well, you
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: either created worked on these shows, but he and Glennon
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: lest Charles created Cheers and then Fraser the spinoff. But
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, what a list of credits Taxi, Fraser, Friends,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Will and Grace, Mike and Molly, Big Bang Theory. An
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: amazing talent and he had a lot of range too.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: You know a lot of people, you know, when they
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: create a show or writer show, it's about what they know.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: But this was all different stuff. It was a New
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: York taxi garage, a neighborhood bar in Boston. There are
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: two things that couldn't be more different. But the secret
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: of all his shows was the ensemble cast worked together
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: so well. So he said, I guess I had a
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: gift for creating families. And that's the thing about each
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: of his show. They were like a family, like a
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: perfect family. So an amazing guy. Hey, if you have
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: an iPhone or Apple products, the prices are about to
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: go up. And it's not that Apple's getting greedy. There's
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: going to be a big price increase in Apple, but
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: obviously they got to buy a lot of chips and
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: a lot of parts, and because of AI, those chips
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: are in incredible demand. The AI companies are buying them
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: by the zillions and it's hard to get them. And
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: that was always thought that Apple was so big that
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: they would never have supply chain problems because Apple was
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: so huge that they could always get components whenever they
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: needed it. They would always go to the front of
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: the line, and that was always the case. But AI
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: has become so big that it's bigger than Apple now,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, Apple is having trouble getting
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: components that they're going to have to pay more and
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: as a result, you will see a price increase. Hey,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: you got that Graham Platiner. Tomorrow's a big primary day.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Platiner the Nazi. You know, Democrats yelling Trump's a Nazi
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: are now actually about to put a Nazi into the nomination.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: They actually are for this Nazi, although they know he's
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: a Nazi and they're afraid to say it, so they
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: double talk, you know when on the Sunday Show and
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: they say, well, are you endorsing him? Well, I'm we're
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: going to do everything to beat Susan Collins. Yeah, but
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: are you endorsing Platinum, Well, we're going to try everything.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: So even Corey Booker, not the brightest guy in the world,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: is on the Sunday Show and he can't say that
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: he'll campaign for Platner. He can't say he's endorsing him,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: So they give you these vague non answers.
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: I'm going to be doing everything I can all over
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: my state of New Jersey and everywhere I can to
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: help candidates across this country to get to that end,
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: which is Democrats regaining control of the House and the
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: Senate so we can check and balance a president that's chaotic,
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: cruel and corrupt.
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: Well, you mentioned Texas and Ohio. Will you campaign in Maine.
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: I don't have any plans to campaign there. Now they
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: all do this. I will do everything I can everywhere
• 30:45
  Speaker 9: I can everywhere. We can't paign in Maine. I don't
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: have any plans for that. The same thing with what's
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: his name, what's his name, Hakeem Jeffries, or as they
• 30:53
  Speaker 9: call him, dollar Store Obama, the dollar Store Obama, Hakeem Jeffries,
• 30:58
  Speaker 9: same thing on the Sunday Show. Couldn't answer. They don't
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: want to admit they're backing a Nazi because they don't
• 31:03
  Speaker 9: care who the hell it is, the Beck Hitler, anybody,
• 31:06
  Speaker 9: just if it means beaten a Republican anywhere. So Hey,
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: the Ran Deal, I know everybody hates it, but again,
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: it's not the final deal. It's just a middle chapter
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: in this book. Israel relationships are pretty good. I know
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: it looks like they're fighting and all that, and I
• 31:26
  Speaker 9: think that's more for show than anything else. And there's
• 31:32
  Speaker 9: been some while we're working on signing this deal, they've
• 31:35
  Speaker 9: been making Israel stand down on a lot of things.
• 31:38
  Speaker 9: There's an area in Lebanon there's a facility that really
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: is the Hesbela headquarters. It's like the Hesbela Pentagon, but
• 31:46
  Speaker 9: much more than that because it's also where they store
• 31:49
  Speaker 9: a lot of their weapons. So it's a massive and crucial,
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: vital facility of Hesbela. Israel was about to take it out.
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: They were told to stop and wait. You know, they
• 31:59
  Speaker 9: want to screw up to Sarandel. So Israel was made
• 32:02
  Speaker 9: to stand down. They weren't happy about that. They're still
• 32:04
  Speaker 9: watching that area and nobody's able to get in and
• 32:09
  Speaker 9: out of that area right now with Israel patrolling it.
• 32:12
  Speaker 9: But that's where it stands right now. Hey, we're talking
• 32:15
  Speaker 9: about primaries. They had the main gubernatorial primary and this
• 32:20
  Speaker 9: guy lost. But it's crucial because it was like the
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: last big figure of the Bush dynasty. It was Jonathan Bush,
• 32:28
  Speaker 9: the nephew of former President George H. W.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Bush. George H. W. Bush had a great brother, Jonathan Bush,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: who I knew, a real fun guy, hey, if you
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: know what I mean. But his son, Jonathan Bush was
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: going to continue the dynasty. Was defeated in Maine. So
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: that's not only a Bush losing, that's a Bush losing
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: in Maine, which is kind of their home state. So
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: that is a real blow to the Bush dynasty. You know,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: it was on there. We were on their way to
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: take the president. See again, it would have been President
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Jeb Bush. But Trump blew up the Bush dynasty, stopped
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: them dead in their tracks, and they've never recovered. Not
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: in Florida. And here's the latest case in Maine, another
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Bush goes down to defeat Well, hey, don't forget. At
