  Speaker 3: Hey, Mark, the reason I'm calling is my friend is
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: second in the Republican Party in Nassau County. And I
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: stressed to him the other day, and I don't know
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: how many people know this, but since Cuomo closed that
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: power plant in Indian Point, whatever it was, you know
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: that the state of New York, and it's almost completed now,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: the state of New York paid $ 1. 3 billion to build
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: a pipeline from Canada to the New York City line,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: which affected everybody's rates. I mean, it's insane. That should
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: be his focus.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Well, that was the focus last night. But as we
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: always say, Cuomo closed Indian Point. That's 25% of our electricity, 25%
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: of our power. Cuomo shut it down for absolutely no
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: reason at all. And Hochul continues the policy. Let's go
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to Eric in Connecticut. Eric, how are you doing?

• 1:56
  Speaker 1: We can tell.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah.

  Speaker 4: And I'm more of a comment. I appreciate what, like,
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Steve Moore says and what you guys are saying. Yeah.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: And I'm definitely all on board with Trump.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: But what's the but?
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: So.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: With all these robots building houses or the thought that
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: that and how this mass automation is going to be great.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: And the only thing is that people will have to
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: learn a new job. Well, that's sort of what was
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: said in the 80s when they shipped all our manufacturing overseas.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And that's a good point. Yeah. We go through this
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a lot. You know, industrial revolution. Put a lot of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: people out of work. They had to use new jobs.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Digital revolution, 1999, 2000. A lot of people put out
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: of work. They had to learn new jobs. And you're right.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: When we shipped all the manufacturing away, closed all the factories, yeah.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: What did Trump call it? Carnage. The carnage. They just
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: shut down the factories all over America. Put a lot
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of people out of work. Let's go to John in Ronkonkomo. John,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Hey, good, Mark. Thanks for taking the call.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Hey, don't you wish guys like Harry Styles would do
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: some research if they're going to take up an issue
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: like Oscar?
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: What do you think he saw like that.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: In the airport at CNN? Yeah, if you're Harry Styles,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you're just going to watch CNN and MSNOW, and you're
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: going to believe this poor guy was gunned down in
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the street. They never mentioned he's a gang member, career criminal.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: He took his car and tried to run over the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: cops with it. They fired when he tried to run
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: them down with his car. They never tell you that part.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: That's the problem with fake news. They give you half
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the story. That should be their motto. MS Now, half
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the story. Our half of it. Let's go to Peter
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and Beth Page. Peter, how you doing? Hey, Mark.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Good.

  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just, you know, I'm troubled by the Republicans.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: They never talk about the big, beautiful bill and how,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: especially New York, right, has gained so much from it. Like,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: I'll calculate. I'm not an accountant, by the way. You
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: sound like an accountant. If you break it down, right,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: a modest New York middle-class family, right, with a home
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: in Westchester or Nassau County, they're getting back, not deducted,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: but back about $ 23, 000 in tax savings, right? I mean,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: any cop fireman that makes $ 25, 000 in overtime, That's $ 5, 500
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: back in their pocket.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. They've got to make more of that
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: because wages are up. Wages are up. Taxes are down. Federal.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: You can't do anything if you're Trump about the New
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: York State taxes. But, yeah, average income is up. Wages
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: are up. All that stuff is up. Let's go to
