• 0:11
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Hey, Mark. Great show. I have a question about these
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: executions that these states try to do. Why don't they
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: just use the 25-cent bullet?
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Why do they.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Still try to use it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: He's talking about this woman, two lethal doses, death penalty,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: lethal injections. She survived both of them. I guess they're
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: trying to be humane. It's not Iran. You can't take
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: somebody out and shoot them.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: You'd have to have a firing squad. You can't do that.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: No, no. But do it in a way where You know,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: there's four guns with, and one has a bullet, and
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: pretty much they don't know where it actually.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: All right, but it's, you know, we're too woke now.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: We're too soft now. You can't shoot.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I see.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, but it's a good question, Jamie. Thanks
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: for calling. Yeah, they gave her the lethal injection, and
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: she survived. So they gave her another lethal injection. And
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: she survived. I don't know what you're going to do.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I would take her over there to the Carnegie Deli,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: get her one of those nine-foot pastrami sandwiches and the cheesecake.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: They give you a piece of cheesecake that is so big.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: See if she'll survive that. Actually, it's delicious. It's great.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: The new Carnegie. I did eat there finally. Big pastrami sandwich.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: The cheesecake is the finest cheesecake you'll ever have. It
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Ate the whole thing. Now, for two days,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: my stomach was like lead, but it's worth it. It's delicious.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Dana in Poughkeepsie. Dana, how are you doing?
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Very good.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: So I have a question. So most of the people
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: who are Trump opponents keep talking about, oh, he's in
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the Epstein files, calling him a pedophile. And I know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: like you just said, there's so many people named in there.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: It's just an email.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: They keep bringing up the Epstein files. Trump has nothing
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to do with sex with Epstein. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: he's in the Epstein files a million times. But all
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: it says is that Epstein hated his guts. They were enemies.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Epstein is bad-mouthing him all through the files. Epstein is
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: working with Michael Wolff and others trying to bring down Trump.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I saw one reference in there, though, that said, Has
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: some lady that said she wanted to know why nothing
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: was being done in regards to information she provided about
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Trump saying he's a monster and he was actively recruiting
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: girls with Epstein. But the person's name is, it's a woman. Yeah,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I know. How come her name is redacted?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Because, well, it was totally debunked. What is that other one?
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Virginia Giuffre also totally debunked. She finally confessed that the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: story she was telling wasn't true. Yeah, no, Trump is totally,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: totally exonerated by the Epstein files. Not only do they
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: have nothing to do with all that, but if you
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: read the files, and everybody should go read them, Epstein
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: hated Trump. They were bitter enemies.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Hated Trump, right?
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: He wasn't too crazy about you either, but he hated Trump.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: That's okay.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: And what do you do up there in Poughkeepsie, Dana?
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Actually, I'm a financial writer.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Very good.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I work remotely, but I used to work at Bloomberg, actually,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: in the city.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: That's a nice place to work. Don't they have the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: best cafeteria in the world?
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes. It's like a casino. You touch a button,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: someone's cleaning it, 19 types of waters and everything.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: You could want. 47 food stations, the finest of everything
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you've ever seen. All right, Dana, great call. Thanks for calling.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Joe in Lincoln Park. Joe, how are
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Hey, Mark, a pleasure. Good longtime listener. Hey, Patterson, where
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: I grew up in the 50s and 60s, is now
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: called Little Palestine. I don't know if you've been there
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: or heard anything about it. It's got a Muslim mayor.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Everything is.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Well, you get those now and then. Dearborn, Michigan used
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: to be Henry Ford, the Ford Motor Company. Now it's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: like the same thing. It's all like crazies that vote
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: for wacko politicians.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but they have they have minarets calling to prayer
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: that I can hear all the way up the hill
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: in Wayne.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Well, that's why you should get a data center. It
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: will drown them out. You won't have them anymore.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Anyway, thanks for calling. Good call. Let's go to Vincent
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. Vincent, how are you doing?
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: I'm okay, Mark. I guess you were referring to also
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: this past weekend– A 41-year-old father was killed by an
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: e-bike in Central Park. Apparently, they had made the e-bike
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: lanes bigger. Before, there was only one. Now, they've made
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: them two, and they reduced the pedestrian walkway. And the
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: way I see it is, as you said, they have
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: to put some teeth into this legislation now. and really
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: follow it because apparently DoorDash and Uber Eats got to
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: members of the city council because they wanted to write
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: a much stronger law, the city council. And, of course,
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: money got involved and money talks, unfortunately, and we have
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: every day. I mean, yesterday I heard it on... The
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: news on your show that 500 people last year were
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: injured by.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, it's way more than that. But, Vincent, great call.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Great point. We'll get back to that, too. It's a
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: great point. When we come back, the very funny Jimmy Fallon.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: He'll be with us next on 710WOR.
