  Speaker 1: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Rich Myrtle Beach. Rich,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: how you.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Doing pretty good? Thanks?
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: Mark? And watching Trump on TV since you have no TV.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: He's got Bobby and doctor Ols there. He's doing a
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: Royal health Care Facilities Act and he's putting fifty billion
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: dollars in to take care of the royal hospitals being
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: overrun the stuff. But he is hammering Obama and the
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Unaffordable Care Act where he's letting them have it. You know,
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: I was saw Keem Jeffries and some of these people
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: on TV. These people don't have an IQ high enough
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: to come in out of the ring. These people literally
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: stupid and they're talking to us and outright ring like
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: we're stupider than nail.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, lets some of them have an IQ. Hakeem Jeffries definitely,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I definitely not.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I mean IQ.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I would guess it looks like a moron.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just looking at you said, this guy's a dot.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: IQ eighty five. Maybe maybe I'm being genris there.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Put you above what is eighty five?
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: What's that level?
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: You'd be uh.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Functionable?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Functional? Functional? You can always tell looking at his face.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Nothing moves, he's no expression. You know you normally you
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: try to have your expression match what you're saying. He
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: can't even handle that. He just looks like a robot talking.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Let's go to doctor Bob, a great surgeon in Long Island.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Doctor Bob.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Thanks Mark, Yes, Mark. You know, I think Pam Bonni
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: is terrific, but I think she's a bit overwhelmed. Someone
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: like Joe Degenival might be someone to butchers her up.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Or you know Jojjennefer, brilliant, brilliant, he's a brilliant former prosecutor.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: He's a much older guy and he's been out of
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the game for a long time. I think, Uh, Pam BONDI,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you need somebody who's been doing it. It's like you, you're
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: a surgeon. You don't want an old retired guy from
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: twenty years ago doing the surgeon.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I don't no season, the seasoning, he knows the situation.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, he'd be a great counselor. But you
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: can't have them. Actually, I mean I'm asking you a
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: serious question. As a great surgeon, would you let a
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: guy who was great twenty years ago but hasn't worked
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: in ten years? Would you let him come in and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: do surgery?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I think that's a different situation, though, I think
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: that's not ideal. But the season, the things that's going
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: on between the years is what counts.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, but that Pam BONDI doing a much
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: better job than a lot of our Attorney General's Bill
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Barr and well, not as.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Much as accomplished. It's a little slow going. Let's hope we.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Write time different time. He hasn't even been there a year.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: You're right, You're right, Okay, I'll give a time.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Hey, you work at a major hospital, right, absolutely?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So the nurses go on strike here in New York City,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and I said, well, how are they running these hospitals
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: where they said they brought in twenty four hundred traveling nurses?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Traveling nurses you can bring in when you how do
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you get twenty four hundred of them? Just like that?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Pretty amazing?
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I don't know the actual what they've actually
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: done here, but I'll tell you the problem is the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: unions when they have you who's involved with healthcare, it
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: really gets involved. I've been in hospitals with and without
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: the unions, and there's a world of difference. You have
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: a real team effort in a place that does not
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: have the union and nurses, nurse assistance and all the rest.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: A very good point, doctor Bob, thanks for calling. Let's
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: go to Mara in Nevada. Mara, how you doing so good?
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: I'm talking to you Mark. This Sunday is going to
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: be a significant birthday for our Vincent. I'll let him
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: fill you in on the numbers.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Well, that's up to Vincent. You know, I don't know.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It doesn't look that old.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: But I didn't say did I. Did I give you
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: a year?
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: Significantly caught up to my kids. They're all around the
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: same thing. Okay, how he's the youngest of all of them. Yeah,
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: so Mark, isn't it unbelievable that if George you are well,
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: had to write a book today? How would he write
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: about these illegal crooks coming into this country that they
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: wanted in their own countries, and the governors and the
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: may is protecting them in the United States of America.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: Who could write that book and make it believable?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Well, plenty of people could, but any great writer. But
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: it's a good point. Mark, thanks for Colin. You ever
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: hear that stupid expression people when they're talking about something, go,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you can't make this up. I can't make this stuff up.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: That's the worst expression in the world. Offends every great writer, screenwriter.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: There are people that can make up any In fact,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: every time I've been with a writer, somebody's wow, boy,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you can't make this up. Yes I can. That's what
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: they do for a living. It's like saying a rod seiling, boy,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you can't make that up. He just did. Oh, let's
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Good morning Mark, Good morning Mary? And what marriage speaking about?
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: You can't make this up. I will turn seventy five
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: this Sunday.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Wow, well you look pretty good for your age.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you very much, Bob Mark. As far as
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: you know this whole healthcare mess, I don't think anybody
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: a family of four where the net income is like
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars or more should be
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: getting the government subsidy. As Robert F. Kennedy says, many
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: legislators people who are making six hundred thousand dollars are
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: getting healthcare subsidies. That is not that's not cool. Pay
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: for your own healthcare. Mark, well better than that.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: It's called the Affordable Care Act. If it's so affordable,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you need a subsidy. Make it affordable, then you.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Don't have to give it a Well, do like what
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump and his team are trying to do, you know,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: get all the bums off first of all, and fix
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: it up, you know, make it the Affordable Care Act
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: rather the Obamacare Unaffordable CARECT.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Actually, most smart business people look at this Obamacare and
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: said it's absolutely ridiculous. It all favors the insurance company.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: They can raise the prices to whatever charge whatever. They're
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: huge profits, and they say, just get the healthcare and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the patient together, get all these middlemen out of it,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and you'll bring the price down exactly.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Mark. Kathy Hulko yesterday announced that she's going to introduce
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: legislation bill in the New York State Legislator that ednie
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: as she says, migrant who was wrongfully picked up by
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: an Ice agent and perhaps even you know Durdan there
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: try and escape got hurt, would be allowed to personally
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: sue the Ice agent.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: What I say, way, you Guys, Remember she's running for reelection.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: She's got to face Bruce Blakeman in the debate. He's
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: a great debater, he's a great speaker. He's gonna wipe
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: her out in the debate. A lot of these bills
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: are fake. She's just proposing him so in the debate
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: when he hits her with something, she can say, well,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I'm the one that proposed the bill. You can't sue
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: an ice agent. They've got federal immunity, government immunity. It's
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: impossible to sue them.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, unfortunately they took away to qualified community.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: That's New York, that's New York City police, federal agents.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Federal agents still have total immunity. You can't see them.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Thank thank god for that. But why doesn't she introduced
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: legislation that a citizen could sue one of the New
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: York state legislators if they were harmed again, criminals.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you anything. Any legislation she proposes is
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: only to cover herself for when she's in the debate
• 7:26
