• 0:23
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to check in and see how you're
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: doing on that grueling 15-hour work week.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: It's the getting up early. I got used to doing
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: three hours of talking. It's the getting up early that's
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: killing me. It's more than a 15-hour work week.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: I know it's a lot of prep.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: I call for another reason. I might need you to
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: talk me off the ledge here. All this socialism, communist crap,
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: it seems like it's gaining some traction. Where do you
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: think we're.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Going to be?
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: If Trump loses.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: The midterms, he'll be a lame duck, and whoever the
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Republican candidate doesn't win after that, I think we're in
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: a lot of trouble.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but remember, Trump is a lame duck. He's not
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: a lame duck. You know him. He's always finding a
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: fight back.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: But when he's gone and out of office, I don't know.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: He's one of a kind.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's the biggest problem. That is a big problem.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Excellent point, Bob. Thanks for calling. It's a big problem
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: for us. When Trump leaves, what the hell do we
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: do all day on the air? What do we talk about?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember before Trump. It was June of 2015.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: He came down that escalator. Before that, what were we
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: talking about? I don't remember. Did we talk about some
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: bill in Congress? What did we talk about? It's going
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: to be tough. You know, talk radio has boomed in
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: the last 10 years. I mean, our ratings are bigger
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: than ever. We've got more listeners. That's because of Trump.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know what we're going to do without this guy.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Michael on the east side. Michael, how
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: are you doing?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Michael.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Funny story.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Call us back. It's not you. It's the phone. It's
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: always that line six. That's always the one that does that.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Let's go to John in Westchester. John, how you doing?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I'm doing fine, Mark. It's great to talk to you.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I have two things. If Trump wants us to win,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: what we have to do is annihilate Iraq. And I'll
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: tell you, after seeing a picture of on the post
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of a man with what looks like his grandson on
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: his shoulder, Americans have to worry about their grandchildren because
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: this child will grow up hating Americans. That's number one.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Well, you're not wrong, but try to fit that on
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: a bumper sticker. It doesn't work. Anyway, what's number two?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Number two is James is a white hater. To put
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: her up there is a perfect move because she will
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: do everything she can to help herself and everything that
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: she does. She's a miserable person, and New Yorkers have
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to wake up and get rid of this beast.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you can vote Letitia James out of office in November.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Vote for, oh, my God, what's her name? It's a
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: hard name to remember. The Republican candidate for attorney general
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: is very good, Camarita. Saritha Camarita, something like that. But
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: vote for her. Letitia James is just a political, partisan person.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Just an awful person, the last person in the world
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: you want with any legal power. In fact, one of
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: her prosecutors, somebody in her office, is now going public
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: saying that the ridiculous lawfare against Donald Trump, the fake
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: case they drummed up, there's confidential files that lay out
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: this fake, ridiculous scheme they had to go after Donald Trump.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: And apparently, this guy is alleging, saying, but he worked
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: in her office. He's a former prosecutor. said that Letitia
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: James wanted him to destroy those confidential files and that
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: he refused to. And he's saying that she then threatened
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: him and kept threatening and menacing him, sending her investigators
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to his house to bang on his door to demand
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: those files. But he is going public. So we'll see
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: where this story goes. Let's go to Pat in Scarsdale. Pat,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: how are you doing? Very well, Mark.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: I know you're an expert on many things, particularly rock
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: and roll. And Netflix now has this Eagles documentary out.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: It's a two-part documentary. In your opinion, do you think
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: Don Felder was treated fairly by them?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I've got to be honest. I know this is, I'm
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: not supposed to say it. I've never been a big
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Eagles fan. I mean, I know they got more hits.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Their Best Of album was like the number one bestseller.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: More weeks at number one than any album in the
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: history of the world. I've never been that big. I
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: can't even tell them apart. They all look the same.
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: But this guy, he actually orchestrated Hotel California, their biggest song.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: And then a few months later, they kick him out
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: of the band just because he wanted his fair share
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: of the receipts.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Who knows what goes on with these guys? But is
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: it just me? There was something about that Hotel California.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I just couldn't. As a DJ, I loved it because
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: it was six and a half minutes. It gave you
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: a time to go to the little boys' room.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: But....
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Witchy Woman, Take It Easy, I don't know.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I just wasn't an Eagles fan. One of these nights,
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: that was the only song I could actually listen to.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: You're not supposed to say this. And if I went
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: down the hall to Q104, oh, my God, they'd go
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: crazy if I said it. Not an Eagles fan, just
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: never was. Let's go to John in Ronkakamo. John, how
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: are you doing?
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Hey, Mark, good. Turned 63 today.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, hang on. Let me see if the gift shop
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: is open. It's your birthday.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Hey, so the point I wanted to make is, isn't
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: it bad enough that we have MS Now and CNN
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: making all these liberals crazy? Now we have Tucker Carlson
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: turning people on our side crazy. I have more people
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: saying that. You know, Trump is in the Epstein files.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: No, he's ridiculous. But it's nothing new. You always had
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: those kind of things. They were always there. Before, it
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: was Alex Jones. Tucker has decided he'll be the new
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Alex Jones. He'll be the crazy. And believe it or not,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: there's an audience for that stuff. They got him on
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: both sides, like really fringe, lunatic characters. That's what Tucker became.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: It's kind of strange that he did that, but okay. Hey,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: when we come back, The biggest guy ever in the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: history of cable news. Bill O'Reilly will be with us next.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Lots to talk to him about coming up on 710WOR.
