  Speaker 5: The morning we were warned by Rush Limbaugh and Bob

  Speaker 5: they were going to go too far with the woke stuff.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: We were warned, well you could even Paul Harvey wanted
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: that in the sixties. But yeah, well President Trump always
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: says that that they h they always go too far,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: they always go too far. So, yeah, it's a cycle.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: It'll end, it'll end pretty soon. Thanks for Colin. Let's
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: go to Bob in Montvale, New Jersey. Bob, how you doing.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I'm doing great, Mark, thanks for taking my call. This
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: climate thing isn't over because this law is that como
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: sign that like kicking in that is just going to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: make things worse unless Bruce Blakeman can reverse.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: The law of New York. Yeah, well you're right.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Now, Donald Trump can say what you want, But is
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: New York law that's like in place unfortunately, Yeah, I.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Don't know if you heard, there's forty nine other states.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: What he's talking about could help with the other states.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: New York, you're right, is controlled by about a bunch
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: of left wing cooks, and Cuomo was the most left
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: wing guy, the most radical left wing. He's the guy
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: that closed the Indian Point. He banned fracking. You're right,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: we need Bruce Blakeman. He can undo that stuff. You know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: when Cuomo closed Indian Point, there was no reason to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: It's the cleanest energy we got nuclear energy, and most
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: countries are twenty five percent nuclear energy. But when Cuomo
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: closed Indian Point, that was twenty five percent of our electricity.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: That's why your electric bill went crazy. We lost a
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: lot of our energy. That's why your electric bill is
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, a double triple what it used
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: to be thanks to Cuomo. Let's go to Tony and
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Long Island. Tony, how you doing Yeah?
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: How you're doing them?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Good?
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: Hello? Yeah, go ahead. I have a question him. I
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: was thinking about, Uh, wouldn't it be a good idea?
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: I'm hoping Bruce Blakeman does get in. But even if
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: he does get in, you got that entire legislature up
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: there in Albany that are going to go in a
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: totally different time.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: But he's running Nasall County with Democrats and the legislature.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: He's good at dealing with that. But what's the idea?
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Hopefully? But I was also contemplating, wouldn't it be a
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: good idea? I would think for Long Island to become
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: its own state? No, no, no, sure, I would think
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: so that we're not affiliated with New York City anymore.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: But the Long Island's got to be part of New York.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: It's got to be part of everybody's.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: The only other borough in New York that's got some
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: common sense is Starton Island.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, where are you in Long Island?
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: I'm over here in Brentwood.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: County. No matter what direction we go, I would think
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: that if New York or Long Island became its own sing.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: When you think about it, Rhode Island is actually smaller
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: than Long Island.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Nasau County is like three million people. It's bigger
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: than a lot of states. Yeah, renal Rhode Island is tiny,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: but it's a it's a different way you get Long Island.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: You got to be part of New York.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think people, you know, the way I look
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: at it, seems like you got more people on that
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: on Long Island that's got a lot more common sense,
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: well than than the New York City vicinity there, you
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: know what I mean?
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, they're pretty good. Well, they're pretty smart. Uh,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: now you can't. You got you got to remain part
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: of New York. We need you as part of New York.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Jerry and Greenwich. Jerry, how you doing.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: I'm doing well, Thank you. Mark. Every time I look
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: at Bernard Sander's on television, it looks like a crazy
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: maniac because he should be committed. You know, well, very
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: dangerous to America, he said, like the New York's Times.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know, nobody listens to him. He's not relevant
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: enough to be dangerous. But that's his act, acting like
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: a crazy man.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Well, he's very influential to people, I think, you know, yeah,
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: not really, I'm telling.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Look, yeah, it looks like a mad professor, like a
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: mad scientist. And he always you can never understand what
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: all he's trying to say.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: He said, bad, dude, he's really bad, you know.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, he's yeah, No, he's just the kind
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: of a silly guy, you know, is the richest ten
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: percent of the twelve percent of the richest two percent.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: He just likes to yell and scream. Let's go to
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: uh Richard and Valley Stream. Richard, how you doing?
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Hell?
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I just want to comment on what you said before
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: about baseball expanding, and you said that the quality of
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: play is going down. I really don't want too more
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: teams either. But the fact is they may double the
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: number of teams, but the population are more than doubled.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: And when you consider that now they have all the
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: black players, which they never give away, that's.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: The population of America doubled. But what Americans are playing,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: we get they all come from the Dominican Republic or someplace.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, well they have them in Parking today or Japan
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: or any place.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're importing players now from Well.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: That's not say it's the competition harder now to get
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: into the major leagues.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I guess you're right. You may be right. Yeah,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: you know, in good old days, we're all American players.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: You know, the manager go out to the mound, talk
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: to the picture, take them out. You know. The managers
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: have told me now when they go out to the mound,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you need like an interpreter with you. The guy doesn't
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: speak English. It's very tough either it a only speaks
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Spanish or Japanese or something like that. Two more teams,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Hey, you could have a Long Island team.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: That's a huge population. Population of Long Island is more
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: than a lot of states. It's a lot more than
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the you know Sacramento wants a team. Yeah, I know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: you could say the Mets of the Long Island team.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: But you could have an actual Long Island team. But
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: then you'd have to put it somewhere. Where would you
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: put it in Long Island? What's the big city in
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Long is I don't know. A garden city, now, Huntington
• 7:06
