  Speaker 1: I'm good.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Hey, so what are your thoughts on what are the
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: chances that Jack Smith actually gets, you know, gets charged?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Well, everything he did was unethical, immoral, disgusting, creepy, partisan.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: But there's a question as to whether anything was actually
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: illegal or He is getting sued right now. One of
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the disgusting things he did was he investigated everybody in Congress, senators,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: congressmen and women. He got their phone records, their texts,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: their emails. There was no reason to do this. He
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: had no authority to do this. But he did it.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: And Senator Marsha Blackburn is the first to sue him.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Hopefully others will file lawsuits against him. Hopefully he'll spend
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the rest of his life in court. getting sued, but
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: he's a creepy, weirdo, bug-eyed, disgusting, dirty cop. Hopefully they will.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll be able to prosecute him,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: but hopefully they'll be suing him for the rest of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: his life. Let's go to Tom in Queens. Tom, how
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark. So Ringo Starr is playing at Forest
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Hills tonight, first time since 1964. Just wondering if you
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: ever had a chance to interview him or talk to him.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a bunch of times. He's a very nice guy.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: He's kind of a goofy, you know, I mean that
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: in a nice way. He's kind of a goofy, fun
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: sort of a guy. You know, Lennon was very serious.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: McCartney is a little mixture of both. George Harrison was,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: he was kind of shy, George Harrison, but smart guy.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Are you going to go see Ringo tonight? Yeah.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: The weather's supposed to be nice.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: It's outside for us. So it should be a good night. Yeah,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: all right. Well, have fun tonight. You know, you go
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to a McCartney concert, it's incredible. McCartney will do two hours.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And if you wanted to relive the Beatles music, it's
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: McCartney that can kind of really do that for you.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: With Ringo, it's a little different. How many records featured
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the voice of Ringo Starr? A handful. But it's still Ringo.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: McCartney in incredible shape. You know, Ringo looking a little older.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: McCartney looks like, hey, he looks older, but he's pretty.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I've never seen a guy like him do He'll do
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a two-hour concert and never take a sip of water
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the whole time. It's unbelievable. Let's go to Mike in St. James. Mike,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Good, Mark. Thank you. Hey, when a general or admiral
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: gets fired, don't they actually move him rather than put
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: him out on the street?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: They move him to a different position, right?
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess they take his general ship away and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: they move him to something else. But it's kind of
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the sign to get the hell out of there. Now,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: usually when you're a general and you leave the Pentagon,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you then make millions and millions and millions working for
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: defense contractors. Of course, if you just got fired and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: they know that this administration can't stand you, but they
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: know there'll be another administration in two years and they'll
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: put you on the payroll. You can get a lot
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of money as an ex-general. Let's go to Michael Danbury, Connecticut. Michael,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark. How are you?
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to touch on the tie-in. This Clancy trial,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: it seems to be that they want people to look
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: at it from her point of view, that she's had
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: problems and you have to understand all that. So in
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: keeping with that, I wanted to get your take on
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: these two Chris Hansen movies that have come out where
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: it almost seems they're portraying him like he's completely out
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: of his mind and the things that he did.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: To these perverts.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: If I'm not wrong, he's already suing them, isn't he?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I think he is.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I believe so, yes.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Documentaries are the cheapest, easiest thing to make, so
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: they're making documentaries about anything and everything. But there's one
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: about Dateline, Chris Hansen. I believe he's already suing them.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: We'll look into that and report back to you tomorrow
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: on those lawsuits. And Dateline, remember, they catch the pervert,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and he's there waiting to meet the.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: 15-year-old girl. All of a sudden, Chris Hansen walks out,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and then remember the guy would run out of the house,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and 42 cops would jump on him. It was a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: big thing for years. Dateline on NBC. Let's go to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Jim in New Jersey. Jim, how you doing?
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark. How you been there, Mark? Good. Been
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: a while since we spoke, and gee, Mark, give me
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: a feeling on the Save America Act. I've been busy.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I haven't been able to listen too much, but I mean,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: shame on him.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: What do you mean you've been busy? What the hell
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: could you have been doing? How busy are you? Tell
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: us what you were so busy with.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: My wife keeps me jumping around the house. Even in retirement, Mark,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: there's absolutely not much rest at all.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: So you were probably a big business guy. You were
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: probably a big executive, yelling at unions, standing up to everybody.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Now you go home and your wife has you taking
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: out the garbage and everything.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Actually, I was a union member, electrician union.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Tough union guy, big union boss. As soon as you
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: come home, the wife goes, take out the garbage.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: What do I say? Yes, honey.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Why do you put up with it? That's the question.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Women run the world. But really, you know, I sit
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: back and I say, What's more important than the Save
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: America Act? I just think they're underestimating the Republican Party
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: that it's going to have an impact on the midterms.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Well, the Save America Act is a great thing. It'd
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: be honest voting, a proper voting procedure. But it will
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: not take effect for the midterms. It'll take a while
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to implement it.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Mark, we got the House, the Senate, and probably the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: greatest president we ever had. They can't get it through.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: It's great. Except for your wife, everything's perfect. Except for
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the wife yelling at you. Anyway, thanks for calling. When
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: we come back, we'll talk to the brilliant columnist Liz Peek.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: She'll be with us next on 710WOR.
