  Speaker 3: I'm doing very well, Thank you.
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: Mark. While waiting on hold, I just saw an alert
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: that Ted Turner has passed away at age eighty seven.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well we just mentioned that.
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sorry. Perhaps I didn't hear it because I
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: was on hold. I was going to address the the
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: roarn with Iran. Okay, we've pretty much destroyed the military capabilities,
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: as every one knows. What I wanted to ask you
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: is what's the status on the war between Russia and Ukraine?
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: Because I know President Zelenski was complaining that we are
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: not sending enough missiles for him to battle Russia.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good question.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: It's funny, Ukraine, what is this year five of this war?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Year five? You never hear about it anymore? When was
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the less time anybody brought up Ukraine. But you know,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: we lived in fear all our lives of the Soviet
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Union their military might, and then Russia superpower. Russia with
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: the military the superpower. Now we watch them go to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: war with this little country and they can't get anything done.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: They can't fight. It's not much of an army, they
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: can't do much of anything. They don't have any kind
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: of sophisticated weapons. They don't even have night vision. And
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: little tiny Ukraine has not only held them off for
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: five years, but if you really analyze this war, you'd
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: have to give the slight edge to Ukraine. They're doing
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: a little better than Russia. Is Russia getting nothing done,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: not taking much territory. They cannot fight, They've lost hundreds
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: of thousands of soldiers. The Ukraine getting better and better
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: every year at this the longer range missiles, longer range drones.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: You know, there was a parade that they wanted to
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: do in Russia. They can't do it now because they're
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: afraid Ukraine will blow up the parade. They're actually in
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: fear of Ukraine.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: It's an amazing story of how much we over estimated
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the Russian military let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: how you doing.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: One of the best things about that Rubio press conference
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: was that he was really busting their chops, which is very,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: very enjoyable. And to that point, there was another ceremony
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: yesterday that president helped with the presidents, the presidential fitness
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: test people back and he had a crater away yet
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Gary Player there and Buyson Dye Chambeau and Noah Syndergard
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and a couple of people from the cabinet and he
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: opens it up a bunch of kids, of course, and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: he opens it up the questions and it's all about
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it Ran and it's like the press is so tone
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: dep This guy does great things all day long, as
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the ceremonies, and they never you never hear about it
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: unless you happen to be on some weird you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: internet page and they have a videolate to it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very tough to run a democracy, you're right,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: without working media. We don't have any actual news media.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: It was a wonderful event. You remember at one point
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: he took the kids, these young young kids there were golfers,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and he gave him a putting lesson. It was pretty interesting. Yep, yeah,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: it was great, and he.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Was cracking jokes.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: He goes, oh, I work out tremendously at least a
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: minute the day.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: He's so self deprecating. And they'd only ended. The first
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: question is what about I ran?
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And it's like, come on, you know, read the room
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, very good point. Thanks for calling, Mike. Yeah,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: so if you're a CNN, MSNBC watcher New York Times reader,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: you're not getting the news. You have no idea what
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: happened yesterday. It was a pretty interest and he was
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: great with those kids, and it was a great putting lesson. Hey,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: he's a great I've played golf with him dozens of times.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: He's a phenomenal golfer. You know, even at his age,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: you'll lose some distance, you don't have as much turn
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: in your swing, but he can still win. Let's go
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: to Rich in Myrtle Beach. Rich how you doing?
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Hey? Thanks Mark. Two quick points. Number one, they didn't
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: try to screw Steve Hilton too bad in that debate
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: left and I watched him with it, and they were
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: actually pretty fat to him and the other Republican there
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: as well. And I saw DeSantis signed a new redistrict
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: ring back for map for Florida. And yesterday's South Carolina
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: announced they're going to redistrict the state of South Carolina.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: She reads that race and they're racist, and crook Clyburn
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: will probably out of a job here in South Carolina.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: We after sixty five years in the job.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Well, Anybates in Congress the sixty five years should be
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: out of a job, anybody. But it's a good point, Rich, Yeah, yeah,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Steve Hilton, he's a great debater, very tough to be.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: You know, if DeSantis pulls this off, Republicans pick up
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: four extra seats in Florida. They'll do this in a
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: few other states. So that really has a big effect
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: on the midterms. Let's go to Tom in Connecticut. Tom,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Mark?
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I unfortunately live in the communist state of Connecticut.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not all communists. There's nice parts of Connecticut.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Where do you live in Connecticut? That's not one of them.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, So yesterday I heard that Governor Lamont signed a
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: bill that ice agents can't wear men. Yeah, how can
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: a state? And Ice is a federal agencies?
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: It not?
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't know if that'll hold up anywhere. That's uh,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: that's a sad story. It's a good point, Tom, thanks
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: for calling. Yet, ned Lamont was a pretty good governor
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: because he had been a businessman. He'd been in the
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: business world. He was realistic, he was pragmatic. It was
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: a pretty good governor. But now you know, with all
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: this crazy uh Democratic Party going totally crazy, he has
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: to pretend he's a left wing kook like everybody else.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: He's up for election this year and it'll be the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Republican candidate will be Ryan Fozzio. Most likely, he's got
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: like a ninety eight percent chance of winning that primary.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: So he's going very left just to just to win
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: over that crowd. Hey, when we come back, Howie Carr
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: will be with us, one of the great talk show
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: hosts in America. We'll talk to him next on seven
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: to ten WR
