• 0:08
  Speaker 1: go to Bonnie and Tom's river. Bonnie, how you doing, Hi, Mark?
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: I was just wondering this guy they put in charge
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: of Iran, the Sun. Yes, he's pretty banged up. I mean,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: he's performed and he's in a coma. Is it sort
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: of like the Weekend with Bernie thing where they prop
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: them up and.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: He waves yeah.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: He's kind of the Joe Biden of Iraq. Now, yeah,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: they actually think he well, some think he's dead. There's
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: no confirmation that he's actually alive. It's been reported he
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: lost a leg in the bombing, facial lacerations, he was
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: in a coma, and.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Some of them, I heard last night, they think he's gay.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gay, which is pretty funny because in Iran
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that's illegal and they'll hang you if you're gay. So
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: so it was always said that the Iatola himself never
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: wanted his son to take over, and they said the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: reason was they didn't want to get into this family
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: dynasty because that's what they had with the Shaw, But
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: could also be that he knew his son was gay.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: And that doesn't fit with what the Iranian government believes.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Phil in Northport. Phil, how you doing?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Hello, Hello Mark, And just kudos to whose cadets put
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: it into that miserable human being that killed the lieutenant
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: colonel in Arlington, Arlington, Virginia. And why didn't the governor
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: of Arlington, Virginia make one word about this?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: You mean the governor of Virginia be all right, well, anyway,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: she's a left wing cook. She's not going to say
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: a word about it. But you've had the worst coverage
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of everything we're talking about this last hour with Michael Goodwin,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: just absolutely. For instance, the Michigan shooter, the guy who
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: tried to run over the kids, I mean, this awful terrorist,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and the New York Times and others put out this
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: narrative that he was so driven, so crazy because his
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: brother had been killed and an Israeli airstrike, his brother
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: in Lebanon was killed and in his early airstrike it
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: was very you know, to get sympathy from this is
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: what the New York Times and others wrote. Well, it
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: turns out it was true. The reason he was killed
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: he was a Hesbala terrorist. They forgot to mention that
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: in the article. They deliberately didn't mention it in the article.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: You've had this kind of stuff going on. That's why
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the FCC chair is warning these media outlets. They also
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: reported the story about we lost six ships, six ships
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: were sunk in or rent. None of this was true,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: completely false, but major news outlets all ran this story.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: That's why they're talking about FCC crackdown. Let's go to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Vincent and Brooklyn.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Vincent, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, I'm okay, Good morning, Mara.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Mark Abba girl spamburger to Governor Virginia pulled the bait
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: and switch, she ran it the moderate and now she
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: wants to tax anything walking, even cockerroaches and water bugs. Mark,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: I'm sure you heard about Mandami's latest boneheaded plan. He
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: wants the state to low the inheritance tax threshold from
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: seven million dollars to seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: and he wants an inheritance tax rate of fifty percent.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Now, if you have inheritance, the first seven million is
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: not taxed. He wants to make that the first seven
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand, which now explain this to me. Though federal
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: inheritance tax about fifty percent, isn't it.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: No, Actually, and you got to make you got to
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: really be inherit a lot of a lot, a lot
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: of buddy, No, it's not not that. What there is
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: tax on. Like if somebody in New York, and that's upfront.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: If let's say your mom leaves a bank account in
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: trust for you, if it's over thirty thousand dollars, they
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: put and this was years ago, I don't even know
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: what it is now, they put a lock on that
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: accountant to you paid a tax up front, and you
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: get a clearance, a statement of clearance from the state
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: tax Department, and you present it to the bank and
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: they'll free up your money. I heard an economist over
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: this week and talking about real estate in New York.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: And this person knows about economics, but does not know
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: about real estate. He was saying that you could buy
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: the average house in New York City, you could buy
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: one for seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. No way,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: you can't even even in Brooklyn. The average co op
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: let alone of Manhattan goes for at least a million dollars.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I was offered the beginning of last week for one
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: of my properties. I was offered a straight up deal.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: We would have went to the lawyer's office and closed
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: five million dollars for one of mine a million dollars.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Very good. Now, listen, the argument against the inheritance tax is,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: this is money that people have earned, and they've already
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: rational wealth. They've already paid tax on it when they
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: earned it. They paid the taxt and so you're taxing
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the money that's already been taxed, which.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Is and they paid tax on it when they invested
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: in the dividends, the interest, they paid tax on it
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: when they put it in the bank and everything. And
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: so it's robbery and that's this is how you create
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: generational wealth. And Mondami and these communists they don't want that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: They want everybody to be in the poorhouse. Now they're
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: the only ones conducted to eat steak and lobster. And
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: they complain about our military men and women who were
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: fighting for us having the stakehold lobster didn't want it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: They added their mind.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Yes. As a matter of fact, Vincent, great call, thanks
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: for calling. That's another example of fake news. They printed
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the story as if Hexath had ordered millions of dollars
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of staken Lobster for himself. It was for the troops.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: They also failed to mention this has done a lot.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: When troops are about to go into combat, you spend
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of money and give them one incredible meal
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: before they go off to war. Hey, when we come back.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: The Johnny Carson Expert of the World. He wrote it
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: just came out, the greatest book about Johnny Carson. But
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: there's a dark side to Carson you may not have
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: known about. We'll get to that next on seven to ten.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Wor
