  Speaker 1: gonna you know what, and get off the pot and

  Speaker 1: go do what he's supposed to do. I went shopping
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: with my buddy Ray yesterday. Gas was three point thirty one.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: We came back an hour and a half later, it
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: was three point fifty nine. It went up twenty eight
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: cents in an hour as soon as he dropped the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: first bomb. Now Trump is gonna have to I called
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: my senators, get on your companies. If we're producing our
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: own oil, we shouldn't be having anything.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Is the problem. We produced. Not only are all our
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: own oil, we produced more than we could ever use.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: We're the biggest seller of oil and world. If you
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: tell them you got to cut the price, they'll just
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: pump less they'll they'll just drill less and they'll cut
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: down the supply that they'll raise the price that way.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: So either way you're gonna have that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we need to get the prices down for someone tourism, traffic.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I understand. But if you make them cut the price deliberately,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: they'll just cut the supply and then eventually the price
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: will come back up.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: That would be a falsehood, Mark, because we will we
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: all know this.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: We all know this.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: No, you can't claim all right, we all know that.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: But that's the problem there. So it's but the only
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: good news out of all of this with the Iran
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: war is we are the biggest supplier of oil in
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the world and more countries are now buying from US.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Thirty percent more oil being sold now by US oil companies.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: We are now the biggest supplier of oil all over
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the world. A lot of people realizing you've got to
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: be careful with Iran oil because it makes things like
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: this could happen. The only reliable, steady stream is from
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the US. So thirty percent more countries now buying their
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: oil from US. Let's go to Bob in Connecticut. Bob,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: how you doing Mark.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: It's corrupt it's not Connecticut.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Well people, people may not realize you've had a couple
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: of governors go to jail, like every mayor of Bridgeport,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the Waterberry of Hartford, a lot of mayors have gone
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to jail there. It's a big pocket of corruption there.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Yes, definitely. But I think it's a great idea to
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: change the name of the airport because think about this,
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: if you want to aggravate the socialist communist Democrats, that
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: every city has a Martin Luther King Boulevard. And he
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: was a registered Republican because he knew these people were evil.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Don't tell people it was a Republican.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: They don't know that he was.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know, but they don't like that. Yeah he
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: was anti abortion, he was. He was a real Republican.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: But don't tell. Yeah, they'll go crazy if they find out.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: That's why the Democrats in their army, which is the Klan,
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: had him killed.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Well, no, we don't know. We don't know exactly what
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: happened there. But Lincoln was a Republican. Martin Luther King
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: was a Republican. Don't tell everybody that. They would get
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: all upset if they hear that. Let's go to pat
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: In Westchester, pat How you doing, hey, Mark.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: You know that buys a building that's about to collapse.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: That was a plan. That's a residential makeover.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: After what happened if you recall them a few years
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: back with hamming in Florida, the entire building tipped over.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Savvy New York is good luck to the to the
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: guide frying, the solos, the promise the people.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll have to tear down everything they put. What
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: they did is they try to add another twenty floors
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: on one side of the building. It's a strange. These
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: big office buildings, the idea of converting them to residential.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: It's a tough thing to do. It's not easy because
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: in an office building now here we are in a
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: big skyscraper right here, we're on the sixth floor of
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: them make skyscraper. There's only one bathroom. Well it's two.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: There's a ladies room and a men's room way down
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: on that end of the floor. It's the men's room
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and ladies room. And that's it. Now, if you have
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: a residential building, you got to have a bathroom, Like
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: every fifty feet you got to you know, if you
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: have fifty apartments on the floor, You've got to build
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: fifty bathrooms, and then you have to build fifty kitchens.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: So you have to add all of this stuff to
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: each floor. It's not easy to do, and then you
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: have to lay it out differently. It's really tough to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: convert an office building residential, and this one, it looked
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: like kind of a ridiculous project. It's a thirty seven
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: story building and then we're going to convert it to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: sixteen hundred residential units. Have you ever heard of a
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: building with sixteen hundred apartments in it? That's a lot.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: It's kind of ridiculous. It's great if you have the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: doorman because it's sixteen hundred tenants at Christmas time, don't
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: have to tip you. But it sounds a little crazy.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Joseph in Manhattan. Joseph, how you doing?

• 6:27
  Speaker 2: come up with a Republican with a big Nazi ss
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: deaf camp tattoo right in the middle of his chest.
