• 0:00
  Speaker 1: In case the marks among show on seven tenor.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, a rainy morning, but it's going to end
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: in an hour or two and then it'll be clear
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: and clear for the rest of the week. So the
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Laguardi Airport remains closed and it's'll be closed for a
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: few hours. They think they'll get it open this afternoon.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: But there was this horrific crash. The truck crashed into
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: the plane on the runway. Now, it turns out the
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: air traffic controllers, if you go over the tape, gave
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: both clearance. The truck was given the green light to
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: cross the runway at the same time the jet was
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: given the ok to land on the runway. Obviously a
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: big screw up by the air traffic controllers. Two pilots
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: killed in the crash. The whole front of the plane
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: crumbled up. A flight attendant was strapped into her seat
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: and the seat was ejected. The seat broke loose and
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: she flew out of the plane. She was ejected out
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: of the plane landing on the runway. It appears to
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: be okay. She'll be hospitalized, but she's okay. Forty one
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: people on the plane, forty one passengers in the hospital
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: right now as we speak, it was a fire truck
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: crossing the runway and the whole front of the plane
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: just crumbled. Planes are very light, thin aluminum. Those fire
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: trucks are heavy duty steel. And the fire truck was fine,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: but the plane just a crumbling up. Total chaos everywhere.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: But again, LaGuardia closed and even if they do reopen
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: this afternoon, it's going to be backed up forever. And ever,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: ICE agents were already at the airport this morning. Tom
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Homan is on CNN yesterday where of course they're trying
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to give him a hard time. They're trying to go
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: after him. What the hell are ICE agents doing at
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: an airport. Well, he got to explained to that ICE
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: agents have always been at the airport. It's always been
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: a place that ICE agent's patrol. Obviously, if you're looking
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: for illegals, you look at bus stations, you'd look at airports.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: They've always been there, and in this case, they'll just
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: increase the number there. Now, the Homan pointing out, they're
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: not gonna they're not going to actually get on the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: X ray machine and work it. They're going to work
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: the perimeters. They're going to do a lot of TSA
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: agents are used to control the lines, control the gates
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: in and out, and all of that ICE will take
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: over that, freeing up a lot of TSA agents. So
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: and the President said he'll increase the amount of TSA
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: going to the airports over the next few days. Hey,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Robert Muller died, the former Special Council, former FBI director.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: President Trump tweeted out, Robert Muller is dead. Good, horrible guy.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Now he won't be able to hurt any more innocent people.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Of course, the left goes nuts a lot of flak.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: How dare he Well, again, he's not a politician. There's
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: no filter. If the worst guy in your life, the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: guy that tried to put you and your family in
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: jail and came after you in a total fake witch hunt,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: fake made up story, and persecuted you for two years
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: when you found out he was dead, I think any
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: normal person say, good, I'm glad that guy's dead. Now,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: if you're on the left, of course, you go into
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the standard. Uh, well, you distinguish war hero with two
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: purple hearts and a bronze star, And how dare he's
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: a public servant?
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Well, Hey, there's a lot of guys with purple hearts
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: and bronze stars. Not a lot, but there's some that
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: have ended up becoming murderers killers. I mean, that's not
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: a get out of jail free card for the rest
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: of your life. Having that it's great, But if you
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: did horrible stuff later in life, people are allowed to
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: call you out on it. And Mueller, if you go
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to my Twitter you'll see a video. Muller at the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: end became a real dirty, sort of sleazy, kind of
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: talking his way around stuff. There was absolutely no Russian
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: collusion of any kind. There was no Russian interference in
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the election, although Muller would say there was because the
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: only thing they found, the only thing they came up with,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: They found absolutely no evidence of any dealings with Trump
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: and Russia. Nothing. But they claim they did try to
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: tamper with the election because they spent one hundred thousand
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: dollars on Facebook ads. Well, that's not going to tamper
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: with an election. Most major restaurants in New York spent
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars a year on Facebook ads. It's nothing.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: The Hillary Clinton campaign spent something like eight hundred million
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: on Facebook ads. One hundred thousand on Facebook ads is
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: not going to move the needle even a billion of
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: an inch. So there was no Russian collusion. It was
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: all a hoax. It was all made up. Muller was
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: by that time an older guy who wasn't as sharp
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: as he used to be, and he was led around
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: by this Andrew Weisman, who is one of the dirtiest
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: cops ever, who has a history of persecuting people on
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the right. It was really him that ran. Muller ran
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the investigation, and Muller later had to admit a lot
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: of things.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: campaign conspired with the Russian government in its election interference activities.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: We did not address collusion, which is.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Not a legal term.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Rather, we focused on whether the evidence was sufficient to
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: charge any member of the campaign was taking part in
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: a criminal conspiracy.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: And it was not. So he was a guy that
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: wasted fifty seven million in tax pair of money. Put
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: out a four hundred page report. You can read it
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: cover to cover. There is absolutely no evidence of any
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Russia conspiracy of any kind. Absolutely nothing. There nothing. Hey,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: justin Timberlake was arrested. You remember in It wasn't South,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Where was it Bridgehampton. Where was it? Sag Harbor? He
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: was arrested in sag Harbor. What's that place? That old
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: hotel there, the American Hotel. He's coming out of there.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: He had a few drinks, a few too many drinks.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: It looks like drunk driving. They arrested Timberlake and it's
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the Hamptons. It's justin Timberlake. He's a big, huge star.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: You get yourself the top attorneys, You get yourself the
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: right local attorneys, former prosecutors there, and you can get
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: it reduced down. It's basically a good guy justin Timberlake,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have been drinking and driving, but they got it
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: to kind of go away. But they've now released the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: bodycam video of his arrest. I don't know why they
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: do this. There's no reason. I understand why they do
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the bodycam video, but there's no reason to make it
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: public and put it out. Here's some of the audio.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: All right, At this point, based on observations, you're under
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: the rest.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: For suspicion, dragging on talkspated.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: That's what I would do to.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: Run around friendless.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: You want the man like.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I'm just callowing my friends home, all.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Right, I'll just turn around for release.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're trying to talk your way out of that,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: the best way is to have to say, look sounded
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: like a young Joe Biden there. So they did arrest him.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: There's a part of the video. You go see the
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: whole video online, but there's a part with the cop
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: is pulled him over and he's a grilling him, and
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: then at one point he says, I'm I'm justin Timberlake,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: and the cop says, you're justin Timberlake. Would you recognize him?
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: If?
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Of course you would, Yeah, I mean i'd recognize well,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: but you know, he's probably late at night, he's a
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: little messed up, doesn't look like himself, disheveled, and you're
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: a cop in the middle of Suffolk County. You don't
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: expect to be pulling over justin Timberlake, but under arrest.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a different world now, but it's amazing
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: you didn't see that as much of this like back
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: in the eighties or nineties, even though people were out
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: partying a lot more. This weekend, Greenwich, Connecticut, there's a
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: great restaurant, Polpo Greenwich. I was there this weekend talking
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: to the owner Ron Rosa. Now, this guy used to
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: own a lot of big New York restaurants in the
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: eighties and nineties. So we're talking about the good old days.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And there's people listening to this who can't believe this conversation,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: because if you're in today's world, you don't realize. Back
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: in the eighties and nineties, everybody in New York would
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: go out all night long to every There were great clubs.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: There was Regimes, there was O Bar, there was Nell's,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: there was Stringfellows. There was a million great clubs, beautiful,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, really great place to see go out till
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: four in the morning. They'd all had to close it
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: for that's closing time. Then everybody would go to the
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Brass Array, this beautiful restaurant over there on fifty second,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: everybody from everybody in the world. You'd go out in
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: there and see a million famous faces four to seven am,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: and then you go home about six in the morning.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: There's none of that anymore. This guy's in this little
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: place in the American Hotel. It's got a nice bar
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: in there, sagcar. But this is probably ten thirty eleven
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: at night. Everything's dead by eleven o'clock at night now
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: eleven thirty. Ah, there's a couple of clubs openly, but
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: nothing great. And it's it's it's just not the same anyone. Now,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: what was the difference. I'm trying to figure out what happened. Well,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: if you go back to the let's say the early nineties,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: there was no nobody had cell phones back then, believe
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: it or not, there were no cell phones and there
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: were really there was no streaming, there was no internet.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: There was cable TV, but it was kind of primitive
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: back then. Maybe had forty channels, not four hundred thirty
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: channels maybe, And there was no TV Land. There was
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: no Bravo, there was no Andy, there was nothing to watch.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: There was nothing going on after the tonight showing off here,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: there was nothing, absolutely nothing, So people went out all night.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: A lot of people are trying to f you know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: what happened all that night life. Some think, well, once
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: there was cable TV with hundreds of channels, once there
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: was the internet, everybody stayed home. They got home early.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: So if you can figure it out, let me know.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: We'll take some calls later. So you see, if you
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: can figure out what happened, hey, nobody better at trolling
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: people than Donald Trump. Now, you know the crazy left
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: tearing down statues, erasing our history. The one big target
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: was Christopher Columbus. All over the country they were tearing
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: down Christopher Columbus statues. They tried to do it here
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: in New York. Well, in Baltimore, do you remember that
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: in the harbor in Baltimore, they tore down the thirteen
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: foot huge Columbus statue. This was twenty twenty. I think
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: it was the George Floyd Rites. But they tore down
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: the Christopher Columbus statue and they threw it into the harbor,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: into the water, to the bottom of the harbor. Well,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: people went down there and got the actual It was
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: a mess, but they got the stone, they got the
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: marble whatever it was, and they brought it up. It's
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: actually marble. They retrieved all as much of the marble
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: as they could.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Trump had it brought to the White House and he
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: had some marble experts take all of it and redo
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: it into a new Christopher Columbus statue. And over the
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: weekend yesterday they put it up on the White House grounds.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: It's a beautiful statue, a monument to Christopher Columbus. The
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Italian Explorer. Looks great. It's a one ton replica. Also
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: thirteen feet one ton replica of the Baltimore Statue. They've
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: recreated it. It's now standing on the grounds of the
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: White House. That's great news. They were talking about four
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: about the ridiculous mayor and first lady. I mean, she's
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: absolutely crazy. Now it turns out she was creating artwork
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: for an anti Israel campaign years ago, the Democratic Socialists
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: of America, Anti Semites, anti Israel. She was creating the artwork. Yeah,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: it turns out that's her career. She's a professional illustrator,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: provided graphics for them. But it was a terrible anti
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Semitic campaign she was in on it. Meantime, the crazy
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: mayor goes to Rikers Island, has a Muslim prayer service
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: with the Muslim prisoners on Rikers Island. He wanted to
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: pray with them. Did you ever think you'd lived to
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: see this? I mean, you had great mayors. You had Juliana,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: you had Bloomberg, You had great, great mayors locking up
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: the criminals, getting them off the street. Then you had
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: some crazy politicians. You had Andrew Cuomo closing the prisons,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: proud to announce he's closing prisons, letting the prisoners out.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: He had built de Blasio and then to close rikers On,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: And I mean that's bad enough. Now you got a
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: mayor who goes to the prison and prays with them.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: They're in prison, they're murderers, they're killers. As Michael Goodwin
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: said last hour, why don't you go pray with the
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: victims of the people they killed? These people. I mean,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: they're the most awful criminals in rikers On. He's praying
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: with them, absolutely insane. Meantime, he's just, as we said before,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: just being an activist. He's just being an activist campaigning.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: He's just campaigning. He's supposed to be a mayor, which
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: means you're supposed to be managing. The mayor's job really
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: is just to provide services, make sure everything's running efficiently.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: He's not doing any of that. He's just out campaigning.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Look at you, Look at the potholes. You know how,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: In fact, one reason you don't need speed cameras right now.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Everybody drives slowly right now because they've just got to
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: stare at the road and watch for potholes. There's so
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: many of them because of the weird weather. We had
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: the blizzards, the temperatures up and down. We have more
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: potholes than ever. In fact, a pothole reports coming in
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: set an all time record, almost twenty three thousand reports
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: of potholes coming in in the last month, twenty three thousand.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. But they're not getting filled fast enough. They
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: don't have enough manpower to fill them. The city agency
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: it fills the potholes said there are about three hundred
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: people short. I mean, this is what you're supposed to do.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: You're not supposed to be at Riker's Island praying with murderers.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: You're supposed to be filling the potholes. Anyway, we'll take
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three two one
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three two
• 14:17

• 14:27
  Speaker 2: one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred three

• 14:44
  Speaker 6: on three Jewish ambulances that were parked in front of
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: a synagogue in Golden.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: This terrible, terrible anti semitism all over Europe and especially
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: in London. Yeah yeah, all right, thanks for sharing a supple.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Let's go to uh Tom and Yonkers. Tom. How you doing?
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: I'm okay?
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Mark? How are you good? Good? Too many commercials?
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: You've got to do something?
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Well, ye, people say that, Yeah, how come we have
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: so many commercials? Why do you think we have so
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: many commercials because.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: You have to pay for the programs.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you see, you listen to say I like
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: that other station they don't have but they have very
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: short breaks, only two minutes. Well that's because I've.
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: Been listening to w OR for seventy three years and
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: it's getting a little little too much.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, but you see we when you
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: get the big ratings, the problem is the advertising rate
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: goes up. And when you get a high rate for
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: the commercials, the sales department are they listening, Yeah, they're
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: all downstairs, they're on the fifth floor. They're well, they
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: just go crazy. They'll sell more commercials. You know, it's
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: a four minute break. Well, we're selling so many commercials
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: in the okay, now it's a five minute break. Next
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: you know, it's a six minute break, not all the time,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: but uh you you can go down there and try
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: to stop them, but it's not going to work. So
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: when you hear a lot of commercials, it generally means
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: ratings are very, very very high, and the commercials are
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: selling like crazy. And when you listen somewhere else, you know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I like that station, they don't have a lot of commercials.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: There's a reason for that. So let's go to Dave
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: in Mahwa. Dave, how you doing?
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: Hey, Mark, how are you today?
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Good? Goodddy? In outer space? You sound like you're one
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: thousand miles away.
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: Well hold on, let me uh, let me switch over to.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: The phone thing here.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Okay, oh god, all right, you're there now.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. It's like, you got
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: two million people listening. How many have to listen before
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: you'll actually pick up the phone instead of using the speaker?
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well two million is not that much.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Five million before he actually holds the phone five five.
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: So listen, you're you're a smart guy, and you've been
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: saying that we're energy independent. We don't need to independent, yes,
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: oil independent, we don't need we don't need the horror
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: moves so whatever it's called state. Yes, then how come
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: the gas prices are up a dollar?
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Then?
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Mark?
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Well, because the WTI, which is the Texas Crew that's
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: mostly what we use. The WTI has artificially raised it
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: for no reason at all, just to go along with
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: the world. Expect this in the next week or two
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: for the President to go after them and make it
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: put it. But there was absolutely no reason whatsoever for
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: them to raise the price on crude, Absolutely no reason.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: They did it just to do it. So uh, we
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: have never done it before. But don't be surprised if
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: you see the President start to talk about some kind
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: of legislation, find something for They just raised it for
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: no reason at all. You know, also in New York, California,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: other states when the price drops, they raised the text
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: just to keep the price where it was. Let's go
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: to Norman and Long Island. Norman, how you doing, Yo?
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Hi?
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: Good morning?
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Mark?
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, normal.
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: Have you no noticed the difference between the protests that
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: are against the war and for the war? How happy
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: the people are that are for the war, and how
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: nasty and mean the people are who are against the war.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Where are these protests you're talking about? The left wing
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: protests against well, well, but you remember they're protesting all
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: the time anyway, if they know if the war stops tomorrow,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: they'll still they find something else to protest. They're always protesting,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: and many of them are filled infiltrated with paid protesters
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: who know how to look angry, know how to rile
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: everybody up. And also, if you got Trump derangement syndrome,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: that's one of the symptoms. You're just angry, just seething,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: raging with anger at all times. Let's go to Ernie
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: and Northport, Ernie, how you doing.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark.
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: I was just thinking about how much.
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: The people of Iran wish they had a second Amendment.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's the argument, you know, you know that
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: what they do in the communist country or a dictatorship
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: for singing to disarm the population. Let's go to uh
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Wagner in Philadelphia. Wagner, how you doing, mister Mark?

  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: They they're having these no kings protests again this weekend's
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: coming weekend. There's a lot to be a lot of
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: no kings protests. If you really hate kings, if you
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: really hate kings, you should be so happy the Ayatola
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: was taking another that was a king, that was a dictator.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Ted and paramus. Ted.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: How you doing, Yeah, Mark, let's see regarding the increase
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: in the price of the WTI oil.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: These guys who run the oil fields, they know exactly
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: how much to get that oil that's down there in
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: all around their fields, how much it's gonna cost. They
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: got wells that work.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: It's not that simple. But the w there's different types
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: of oil. There's the there's Brent crude, North Atlantic oil
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: and the europe uses most that we use a little
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: of that. Most of the oil we use is WTI
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: is Western Texas, West Texas Intermediate and the WTI has
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: been pretty bad about our just for no reason, all artificially,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: artificially raising the price even though we don't need to.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: If the story of the straits of horn Moose close,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: it doesn't affect us. We don't use that oil. We
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: may maybe maybe one point five percent. That's about it.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Europe is totally dependent on the streets of Horne Mouse.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: You can see the price increase over there, but here
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: not justified. Hey, when we come back, Bruce Blakeman will
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: be with us the next governor of New York. We'll
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: talk to Bruce Blakeman next on seven to ten wor.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Give wor a Bri said on the iHeartRadio app to
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: hear Mark Simone and all the wr hosts in an instance.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Marximo Show on.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Wor Well, Bruce Blakeman, he should be the next governor
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: of New York. He's the Nassau County executive, best county
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: executive in America. That's a job that's just like being
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: a governor, and he's the best at it. And if
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: you want to help, you go to blakemanfornew York dot com.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Blakeman for New York dot Com Bruce Blakeman, how you
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: doing doing, Jolly Jurdon? Mark, Well, you're running against this
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: crazy Kathy Hockel who tells everybody to leave New York. Now,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: she's all over the place Tow'm ready to come back?
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Is that her admitting that she was wrong?
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: You know, Mark, when I saw the video of her
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: asking people to please come back to New York from Florida,
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: all I could think about was, this can't be true.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: It's got to be an AI video. It's got to
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: be a Saturday Night Live skit. You can't make this up.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: We are the most overtaxed, overregulated state in the United States.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: We have one of the highest energy bills in the
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: United States. Just look at your electric bill. Your electric
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: bill is only thirty percent going for energy. The rest
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: of the bill is excessive delivery charges, taxes, and the
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: green energy scam mandates that she puts on your electric bills.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: When I become governor, I'll cut your electric bills in half.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: We're going to cut out the green energy scam. We're
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: going to bring down the delivery charges, and we're going
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: to bring down the taxes. That's number one. Number two
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: is the way to get people back here is to
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: lower taxes, not to raise taxes. Her and her buddy
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Zoron Mandami, they want to raise property taxes by nine
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: and a half percent in New York City. That means
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: that if you a home, own a home in Brooklyn
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: or Queens or any of the other five boroughs, your
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: taxes are going to go up significantly. She also wants
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: to institute a death tax. Her and Zoon Mandami want
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: to put a death tax that you work hard your
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: whole life, you build up a little mess egg. You
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: have a home that's probably worth, you know, six seven
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: hundred and eight hundred thousand dollars, and your estate's nine
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars. Let's say she wants to take half
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: of that. She wants to take half of it. Zoon
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Mundami wants to take half of it. They're working together.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: They have a secret plan that after the election they
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: will raise taxes, just like Kathy Hokeel did with congestion pricing.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: She said she was going to put it on pause.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: Right after the election. We got congestion pricing. And by
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: the way, congestion pricing is not just going to be
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: in Lower Manhattan She'll bring it to Queens Boulevard, She'll
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: bring it to Flatbush Boulevard, She'll bring it to all
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: of the major thoroughfares throughout the state because she needs
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: to raise money for her green energy scam, for her
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: medicaid scams, and for her not for profits that produce
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: nothing for the people of New York, but they pay
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: billions of dollars to her friends who give her big
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: campaign contributions.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and our budget is double the budget of Florida,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: even though that's a bigger state with more people. What
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: can be done to cut that budget down?
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: Well, first of all, we have to cut out, as
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: I said, the funding for all of these not for
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: profits like they have in Minnesota. These are us not
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: for profits that are set up not to help people,
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: but to give people who contribute to Kathy Hokel a
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: job a big salary. They produce nothing. And I will
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: have an immediate review of every program in the state
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: of New York. We will look not to cut services.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: We want to deliver better services than Kathy Hockle, because
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: her services are terrible. I want to increase the quality
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: of the services, but get them to people who really
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: need them and only have programs that work, not fund
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: all these experimental programs that Kathy Hochel has.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which would Bruce Blakeman, who we hope is the
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: next governor in New York. If you want to help donate, volunteer,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: go to Blakeman for New York dot com Blakemanfronewyork dot com.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Now people will say, well, you're behind in the polls,
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: but you're always behind in the polls when you win.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Isn't that Wasn't that the case in Nassau County.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Listen, I ran for reelection in a county with
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: one hundred and ten thousand more Democrats than Republicans, and
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: I won in a landslide. Every time I run, the
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: polls have me behind, They have me in a position
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: that is totally not true. These polls are polls from
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: very far left universities that skew the polls towards the
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: Democrats so that they frustrate our fundraising, so they bring
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: down our morale. Look, I know how to win in
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: democratic territories because I bring the same thing to every
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: neighborhood and every community. That means safe and secure communities
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: by increasing the number of police, not defunding the police
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: by keeping taxes. Well, I haven't raised taxes a penny
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: in four years. Plus. I took one hundred and fifty
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: million dollar tax increase that was planned by my predecessor,
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: and I canceled it my first week in office. So
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: the fact is that you've got to make it more
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: affordable by lowering taxes, lowering electric bills, and then you'll
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: get people back to New York. And you also have
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: to create jobs, economic development, which creates prosperity, which means
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: more money goes in your pocket. If there's money more
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: in your pocket, you can make important choices on how
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: you want to spend the money and not government. People
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: are miserable in New York. They need a governor that's
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: going to put New Yorkers first, not spend billions of
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: dollars on illegal migrants. That's our taxpayer dollars. The Caffee
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: hocal is spending on people who've been here for fifteen minutes,
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: when we could cut taxes, when we could improve our infrastructure,
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: spend money on education, improve our hospitals, and she spent
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: it on people who just cross the border, giving them
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: free housing, free food, free transportations, and a free cell
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: phone that stops. I will be a governor that puts
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: New Yorkers first. Mike job is to make for a
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: more prosperous state, a safer state, and to make New
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Yorkers happy again.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And now, Bruce Blakeman, what about money. She's got
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: the thirty two million or something in the bank.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, we're raising money at a very very large clip.
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: We are doing very very well. Remember she's been at
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: this for four years. She's an incumbent. We expect to
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: get we expect to get outspent. But if you have
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: the issues on your side, which we do, talking about overtaxation, overregulation, cashless,
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: fail the hall deck, raise the age, things that make
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: us less prosperous and less safe. I'm running against her
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: on those issues and that means more than anything. That
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: means more than money. So we're getting our message out.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: People are starting to collaborate with us. They're raising money,
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: they're out there volunteering. There you using their cell phones
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: to text people, to email people, social media. We're getting
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: millions of hits on social media. I expect that not
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: only will we be victorious, but I think that we
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: will decisively win. And then I will be the governor
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: on January first.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Well, we all hope so. And now you're a much
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: better speaker. You can out debate her any day. What about?
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Has she agreed to a debate of any kind?
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: No. I challenged her to a debate last month. She
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: said that I didn't answer a question from a reporter
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: because I was chicken. Actually, the reporter asked the same
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: question four times but didn't like my answer. So she said, oh,
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: you know, Blakeman, he won't even answer the question. I said, listen,
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. I'll debate you every week from
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: now to election day. Let's see who's chicken. And of
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: course she never got back to me. She's not going
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: to debate me unless she absolutely has to, because she's
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: afraid of her record being exposed by me. I'm going
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: to compare my record where I have the safest county
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: in America according to US News and World Report, where
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: I haven't raised taxes, where we have economic development, people
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: are doing very very well in my county, compared to
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: her record where she has to go and beg people
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: in Florida to come back to New York because she's
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: made it unsafe. She's made it unaffordable. She's the one
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: that has made New York unaffordable. I will be the
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: governor that makes it affordable again.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Let's hope everybody. I do what you can to help.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman. If you want to help, volunteer or you
• 30:34

  Speaker 2: Well, Hey, LaGuardia Airport remains closed because of that terrible crash.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: It happened late last night. It was an Air Canada Express.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: One of those regional jets arrived at Laguardi Airport. There
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: was a fire truck that wanted to cross the runway.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Once a truck enters the runway area, it's under the
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: control of air traffic controllers. The air traffic controllers gave
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: the fire truck that go ahead to cross the runway,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: and then it was just a horrible mistake. At the
• 31:52
