• 5:09
  Speaker 6: answer to that. These people don't care about the women.

• 5:34
  Speaker 1: They'll look the other way on anything if Trump is involved. Hey,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Howie Carr's coming up in a few minutes. I think

• 5:44
  Speaker 1: They first gave her that nickname. Let's go to John
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: and West Islip. John, how you doing, I.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Mark you, good morning. Quick question, But I hear that
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Congresswoman Luna from Florida is proposing to put Trump on
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Mount Rushmore. Yeah, what do you think would it be
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: on the right side with Lincoln or on the left
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: side where Washington is.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: From what I hear, you can't actually put anybody on
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore. Some geological the stone the rock format that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you can't carve into it anymore. That's what I hear.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: I heard that it can be carved in.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Geologists has said that they can do it on either side.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, maybe they found a way to listen. Obviously,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: obviously the Democrats will go completely insane. It's one reason
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to propose it. Also, I think, don't you have to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: be dead a long time to be considered for Mount Rushmore?
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know. That's why I'm calling the master. I'm
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: calling you.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll look into it. I'll look into it, and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I think you got to be dead for a long time.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: You can't. No, you just the left would go too crazy.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: They would go completely insane. Also, it would cost a
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: fortune to have to protect Mount Rushmore. You'd have every
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: left wing coock mountain climbing equipment trying to go up
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: there with spray paint, with hammers to They would spend
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: every second trying to destroy and deface the thing, like
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the reflecting pool. Hey again, Howie Carr, he was the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: first one on Elizabeth Warren. I think he gave it
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a name Pocahontas. But he's been all over. Graham Platner,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: he's the best on the subject. We'll talk to him
