  Speaker 1: in Connecticut. Lorenzo, how are you doing?
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: Good morning, Mark.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, Lorenzo.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: Hey, you're a really good sport. I listened to you
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: when you guest hosted for Sean Hannity. He's a great American,
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: and you're not bad yourself. But I have to admit.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: What's the problem?
• 3:07
  Speaker 6: Why did he get married again?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know. The poor guy. What the hell did
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: he do? I don't know. Some people like to be married.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Some people.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: Well, my first reaction when I hear that so-and-so is
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: getting married is, on purpose?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's a good point. That's a good point.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: You know, you go to a wedding. The women are crying.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: They're so happy. They're crying. I feel so bad for
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the guy. I feel like he's going to prison or something,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: whoever's getting married, you know? And then there's that old
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: story about the wedding night, the honeymoon, the wedding night.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: He says to her, tell me, am I the first?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And she says, why has everybody asked that? So I
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. It's More and more people
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: staying single. It's interesting. Less and less people getting married.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Jim in New Jersey. Jim, how you doing? Hey,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: good morning, Mark. How are you, sir? Good. Let me check.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Anyway, I'm just calling because, you know, I keep hearing
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: about the midterms being a disaster for the Republicans, but
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: they don't really ever look back to the midterms of
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: 2022 when they said there was going to be this
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: big red wave. And it didn't materialize because we had
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: pretty crappy candidates back then.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: And now it's going to be a blue wave. Well,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: guess what?
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: The Democrats have a lot of crappy candidates, too.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: And I don't know.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I don't see this wave happening. Maybe it's just me hoping.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: This is all put out there to discourage you from voting.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: The fake rigged polls are called suppression polls to make
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: you think it's hopeless so you stay at home. Don't
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: listen to any of them. Right now, it looks like
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the Republicans.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: will keep the Senate. Right now, the House is too
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: close to call. It's all going to be about turnout.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Don't believe these fake college polls, these fake media polls.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: The metrics in them are so rigged. That college poll
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: last week, the sample was 80, 80, 80, 80 percent
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Democrats in the sample, and they didn't use the voter rolls.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: It was a terrible poll. So, Don't fall for that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Right now, it's deadlocked as far as nobody can predict
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the House. It could go either way. It's all about turnout. Republicans,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: if you turn out, you'll win. If there's big Republican turnout,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: definitely we'll win. Let's go to Tom, Point Pleasant, New Jersey. Tom?
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark. Mark, why do you suppose it's called
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the World Series? When only two nations are represented?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Well, for years it was one nation. It sounds good.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: It sounds good. The World Series.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the same with the NBA. They claim to be
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the world champions. I'd like to see it more like
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: the Little League World Series where they play a lot
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: of different countries.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I hate when they play other countries.
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: Oh, really?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Who the hell? I want to see them play
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox from Boston. I don't want to see
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: them play Peru or Finland. Who the hell wants to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: see that?
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Well, I'd like to see them because most of the
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: players in the NBA and baseball are from other countries.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's why they consider it a world championship.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I know, but they all come here, you'll notice. I
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: don't know. You're right. It's not the World Series. But
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I hate you. It's like when you watch the Olympics
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: or soccer. That's the problem with soccer. It's Norway versus Chile.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Who the hell am I supposed to root for? I mean,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. It's different if it's like the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: World Series now. It's Tampa Bay and Milwaukee. I don't know.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So you get into that National League versus American League,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: whatever fan you are. But, you know, just keep it American.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Keep it American. But it looks like the World Series
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: could be over tonight. It's 3-0. It looks like the
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: most lopsided series ever. Hey, when we come back, Bill O'Reilly.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to him next. on 710WOR.
