  Speaker 1: Let's take some calls.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Larry in Cranford, New Jersey. Larry, how
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: you doing?
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Hey, Mark.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: Hi.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: You must remember it was a year, year and a
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: half ago when Elise Stefanik grilled Kathy Hochul, and Hochul
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: was stupefied. You remember that?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, back in those congressional hearings.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Why aren't the Republicans using that footage for campaign ads?
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: They are crazy for not using that.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they might be using them, but
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: if they do, they'll be using them upstate. They won't
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: be using them in the city.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: They should use it all over.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't work that way. You waste a lot
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: of money that way. You've got to target the ads. Remember,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: it's not just New York City. You're running ads in
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Buffalo for a Buffalo audience. You're running ads in Syracuse
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: for a Syracuse audience. Albany, Albany, you know, they got
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: their own TV stations. The stations here in New York,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: only seen around the New York City area. Let's go
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: to Greg in Jersey City. Greg, how you doing?
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: It's interesting how residuals.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Greg, you got to be within 6,000 feet of the phone.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: You're like 500 miles from the phone. Nobody can hear
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: a word you're saying.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: You can't hear me?
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Now we can hear you. What were you doing before?
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: I don't know. Huh.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Look at this. He's going to try to convince us
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: that nothing changed. Obviously, you weren't on the talking into
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the phone before.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: All right. Fine. I was talking residuals and how they've
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: changed over the years.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I did hear what Anson Williams was talking about.
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: But you think about some of the stars like James
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Garner or Jack Klugman or even Eric Estrada who had
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: to sue for their studio in order to get the
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: residuals they were promised.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Well, you've got to remember, it's different for everybody. If
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: you're James Garner, and he helped create the Rockford files,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: he might have had a little piece of it. If
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: you're Eric Estrada, you're not going to have a piece
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of chips. If they don't use you, they'll use somebody else.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: You're not always entitled to these residuals.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: But like Lee Majors, when he had the fall guy,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: he actually got a producer credit.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some people negotiate that. Dick Van Dyke actually got
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: a piece of the Dick Van Dyke show. But the
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: cast members don't get it. If you're one of the big,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: big stars and they really want you, that's part of
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the deal. They'll give you a little ownership. You'll get
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: a piece of the show. Let's go to Mike in St.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: James.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Mike, how are you doing?
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: Fine, thank you. What's the matter?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: It sounds like somebody's chasing you. You're out of breath.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: What's going on?
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: If federal law supersedes state law, can't Donald tell the governor,
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: unless you start cooperating with ICE, we're withholding federal law.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: He's already done that. That's already happening. It's happening now.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Pete in Bergen County. Pete, how you doing?
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mark, hi. Do you remember the Jewish Defense League
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: with Mayor Ghani?
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever happened to those guys? I think he got assassinated.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Kahani was assassinated at the hotel on Lexington. You know
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I was supposed to be there that night. Somebody invited
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: me to go watch him speak. He was supposed to
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: be such an incredible speaker. They gave me the wrong hotel.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I kind of remember Channel 5 used to cover him
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: a little bit.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, they gave me the wrong hotel. You know, Lexington,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: like 50th, 49th, there's like four hotels in a row.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: They gave me the wrong hotel. I got there too late.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: He was already assassinated. Now, it turns out that some
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: of the lunatic terrorists who assassinated Maya Kahane had ties
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to the people that bombed the World Trade Center a
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: few years later. There was actually a connection. It was
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: kind of the same cell. Let's go to Chris in Manhattan. Chris,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: how are you doing?
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark. I'm okay.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Before we continue, he's panicking. He's going to say, we're
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: going to lose the midterms. Go ahead.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to lose the midterms. We're going to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: lose the midterms.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: But listen, before you were saying that even if we
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: lose the Senate and the.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: House, Trump will be okay? Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: Who cares?
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: The country's going to be screwed.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Well, you'll still have Trump running the country. But you've
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: got to remember, do you do this with everything else
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: in life or is it just politics where everything's negative?
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: It's just politics because he's– listen, I voted for him
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: three times, but he's screwed up so badly in the
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: last six months.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: And nobody's calling him out on it. In what way?
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Okay, he started the Iran war without a way to
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: get out of it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Well, there is a way to get out of it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: You've got to just finish it. He's holding off on
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: that until after the election. You had to do that
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: because you can't let them have a nuclear weapon.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Well, I agree, but they still have it, and we're
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: out of missiles.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: And you're going to say we're not.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: We're not out of missiles. We're not out of missiles.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: We have plenty of missiles. See, part of the problem
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: is you fall for all this fake news.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So it's not true.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: We have an unlimited supply of missiles to give to
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: everybody and protect ourselves.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: We've got plenty of missiles. So if they print something
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: in the New York Times, you always fall for it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: That's the problem.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: No, no, I don't read the New York Times.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Believe it or not, there's two shows I make a
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: point to listen to.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: It's you and somebody else on Saturdays.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Who's the other one?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Dick Morris, but that's comedic.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: No, Dick Morris is pretty good. Dick Morris.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, I like the show.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, last time I spoke to you, you said, oh,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: I guarantee you he calls up every radio station and
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: complains about this and complains.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not. You're it.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Sorry.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: You're my favorite show still.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: You can listen to other shows. Sean Hannity's pretty good.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Fallon. You ever listen to Jimmy Fallon?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I listen to shows.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: The guys that come on after you, I can't listen
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: to that.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Well, they're doing pretty well. They got 10 million listeners now.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: You know, a lot of it's out of loyalty to Rush.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: But that show to me is like.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I know, but they were.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: They're rich and famous and home shopping now.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: They're doing the Rush show from Rush's studio with Rush's engineer.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: It's Rush's team that the people that ran the Rush
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: show picked these two guys. So if you're going to
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: be loyal to Rush, you should be listening to them.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: You remember the guy that used to fill in for Rush?
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: Sometimes he would say he was from Ice Station Zebra,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: and I think it was an Australian actor.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, that guy. He's a very good guy. He's
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: up in New Hampshire. I keep meaning to get him
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: on the show.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, he was such a nice guy.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: And if you could get Michael.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Riedel back on.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what the circumstances were that
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: he left.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but Michael Riedel kind of disappeared. Yeah,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: we'll track him down. Well, who's the guy that filled
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: in for Rush? Really nice guy. Very smart.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: He was really nice. He was very smart. He was interesting.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: We're going to get him back. I keep meaning to
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: call that guy and get him on the show.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: We'll do that.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how are you doing?
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark. Mark, I'm okay. Mark, I don't know why,
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: given the fact that, as Michael Goodwin pointed out, that
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Mayor Mondami has spit in the face of every ethnic
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: group that is not Indian or Muslim in the city
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: of New York, I don't know why Donald Trump continues
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: to kiss Mondami's ring. And before you say he has
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: business here, Mark, he has business here, but don't shoot
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: the line. His top managers and his children are running
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: his business. A caller called in Rob Astorino's show Saturday afternoon,
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: and she said the same thing. And Rob said that
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump has this desire to be liked. What is
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: there to be liked?
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I think if you watch Donald Trump, he does not
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: have a desire to be liked. Nobody goes around making
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: more enemies than this guy.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Then why?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Why what?
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Why kiss Mondami's ring?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: He doesn't kiss his ring, but he does have a
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: desire to always make a deal with somebody. That's his first.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: Make what deal? New York's in the worst shape.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: But he's trying to make a deal. Well, that's all
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the more reason.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: Me personally, I haven't benefited from the Trump presidency one iota.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: And in fact.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Well, you actually have.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: No, I haven't.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: How?
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: How have I benefited? There's no illegals in my neighborhood. Oh,
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: the only thing that Trump hasn't done in my neighborhood,
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: it's filled with illegal construction workers everywhere.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: We'll get you Joe Biden back. Will that make you happy?
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: I was paying for my fuel and energy. I was
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: paying much less money.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Actually, during the Biden administration, it was.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump, when I last pulled up my car a
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago, it was $ 4. 69.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, but remember, a dollar of that is state and local.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: That's not all, Trump. You can't blame... Mark, please. Anyway, Vincent,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: there's no winning this argument. Since it's impossible to win
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: the argument, we must end it immediately because we got
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: to go to John McLaughlin.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: He's coming up next. The greatest pollster in the world.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: John McLaughlin just ahead on 710WOR.
