  Speaker 2: 710WOR.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't think it's going to work, but let's
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: see if the phone works here. Let's go to Bobby
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in Salem.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Bobby, are you there?
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, we're here, Mark.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Salem where? Oregon?
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Salem, Connecticut.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Oh, there's a Salem in Connecticut? Where's that?
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Salem, Connecticut. All the witches escaped from Salem, Massachusetts,
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: came down to Connecticut, and they all harbored around this
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: place called the Devil's Hop Yard, which is East Haddam
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: in Salem. Anyway, that's not why I called.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: The reason why I called.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: You're happy you called. Sounds a little nuts, but we're
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: happy you called.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: No, but that's the truth. They didn't have any people
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: burned at the stakes, but they did a lot of
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: animal work. sacrifice.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Ah, that's great. Sounds really nuts, doesn't it?
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: What I was thinking about, look, the Trump administration, I
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: think what they, an idea I came up with that
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: they should do. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. I
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: think they should call for a suspension on all federal
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: taxes on all petroleum products for the next 90 days.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Everybody's complaining about gas.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: You came up with that, huh?
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Everybody's been saying that for a while.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Everybody's been saying that. No, it's a good idea. to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: That's for the federal government. But then what they should do,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: they should put out a list of all the states
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: that have the highest taxes on petroleum products.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. No, we got it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: We got it. We got it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Bobby, it's a good idea. Let's get rid of Bobby.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: It's a good idea. But you know who did it? Actually,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: everybody's been talking about doing it. They should do that
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: in New York. The tax on gas is like 75
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: cents a gallon. Just lift it for 60 days. They
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: did it in Texas. Abbott removed The gas tax, I think,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: for 60 days, and then he can keep doing that.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: So let's try. Let me see here. Let me look
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: down this. Let's go to Cheryl in Farmingdale. Cheryl, how
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: are you doing? Cheryl?
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm here.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: You're on. Cheryl, go ahead.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: I have a couple of questions about the Lindsay Clancy case.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Okay. How come she can talk to him but not
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: to the first three sponsors? That doesn't make sense.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a good question.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: When he supposedly found her outside underneath the window. Yeah.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: And then she was a nurse. She would know where
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: the main artery is in her wrist.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: You cut that, you bleed out.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: That's a very good point. That's an excellent point. Yeah,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: she claimed that she tried to commit suicide, but she
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: cut the wrong vein and she didn't know. But it's
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a very good point. She's a nurse. she would have
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: known how to hit the right vein. So yeah, the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: whole story, it's just crazy. Let's go to Chris in Manhattan. Chris,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I'm okay. How are you, Mark?
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Listen, last time I called, you said I was a
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: reverse barometer because I said that we're going to get smoked.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: You're a panicking and whatever he says never happens.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: After that, Ann Coulter called up and used the word
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: bloodbath also. And you just had the other guy on
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: saying it doesn't look good that we're going to lose
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the House and maybe the Senate. What do we do
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to prepare for this?
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Well, Ed Rollins I would worry about because he knows
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: his stuff. But if you say we're going to lose,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: then we're probably going to win because, again.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, I hope I'm wrong. But really, I mean,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: everything that's going to happen to us was done to
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: us by Trump. I mean, when I think about what
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: his accomplishments now— I think of the gold in the
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: White House. I think of him building arches to himself
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: like Napoleon.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: But that has nothing to do with the subject. That
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean it. It's like what color tie he wore.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with anything.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not so happy with him now.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: You were never happy with him. You always were upset
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: with him.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I love him. I voted for him three times.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: If you're worried about the ballroom, you're way off.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Or gold.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: His decorating taste is silly. But that has nothing to
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: do with anything. Nothing to do with anything. His economic
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: achievements are amazing. We've had 80 records in the stock
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: market in the last year and a half. Wages are up.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Median income is up. Poverty level, lowest rate ever. The
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: border has been sealed. He's gotten a million criminals out
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: of the country. That's all pretty good stuff. The arch
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: is silly, but that doesn't matter. It doesn't mean anything.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: It's just a little side stuff. So don't worry about it, Chris.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Let's go to Uh, let's go to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Steve in Brooklyn. Steve, how you doing?
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Good, Mark. I got two points to make if, uh,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: if I can make them and, uh, let's.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Hear the first one. Then we'll decide if we want
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to hear the second one.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, okay.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Okay. First thing is, um, the P Diddy. Yeah. We
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: were talking about P Diddy before, right? Yeah. Before, I
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: think you should always mention when you first that they dropped, uh,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: two charges, beating his girlfriend and the gun charge, you're guaranteed,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: especially the gun charge, where they want to prosecute anybody
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: for gun charges, but yet they drop it for him.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: All right, not so fascinating, but give us the second one.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Okay, sorry. The second one is like, still don't see
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: anybody getting prosecuted for, especially politicians for crimes, especially what
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: they would lying for Trump and then, like, the fraud
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: with Medicare.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I know what you're saying. You know, the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: problem is the criminal referral, whether it's a Fauci type
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: or something like that. But, you know, the problem is
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it's D.C. You've got these left-wing judges. If you're a
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Trump hater, they'll never prosecute you, and that's part of
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the problem. Hey, let's go to Meryl in, what is that, Hardison,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. Meryl, are you there?
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: Yes, I'm here. Hi, Mark.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Long-time listener, a little nervous to call.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Don't be nervous. Don't be nervous. No reason to be nervous.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: There's only a few million people listening. If you make
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: any mistake, you'll be humiliated and embarrassed for the rest
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: of your life. Don't be nervous. One slip and you
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: could be laughed at everywhere for years. Don't worry.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: I'm more nervous.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: No, don't be nervous.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: I have a question. I keep certain liberal friends are
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: telling me that The Trump family has made billions since
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: he became president. And I tried to look it up,
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: and they keep all the articles sounding like corruption, which
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: I just don't believe.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Well, actually, they have made billions of dollars in the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: last couple of years. What they forget to tell you
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: is before he was president, they were making billions of dollars.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: They've been doing it all along.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: Well, that's what I wondered. Is it from his investments
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: in the stock market?
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's Bitcoin, and they're selling all kinds of stuff,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and they do that. Every president has got a brother,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: an uncle, a cousin who's profiting off the presidency from
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Billy Carter to Roger Clinton to whoever. It always happens.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: The difference is they were all like bumbling idiots who
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: didn't know anything about business. In this case, these Trump
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: kids are like billionaires to begin with. They were billionaires
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: before Trump got elected. They're running a multibillion-dollar international business,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: so they're always making billions. I mean, these two kids
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: are building hotels and resorts and golf courses. Go to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the Trump Organization website. Look at the hotels they have
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: around the world. They've got 100-story skyscrapers, hundreds of them
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: all over the world. You make billions when you do
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. They were already making billions. Hey,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: when we come back, Ann Coulter, she'll be with us
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: next on 710WOR.
