- 1:07Speaker 3: lectured in two of the top six healthcare systems in
- 1:12Speaker 3: the world and the one rated six. The government pays
- 1:17Speaker 3: two percent of GDP for healthcare, guarantees it for all citizens.
- 1:22Speaker 3: They live five years longer than we do. Well, we're

- 1:34Speaker 1: given me a good idea yet, give me a good idea.
- 1:36Speaker 1: There's a lot of a lot of intro. But what's
- 1:38Speaker 1: what's the idea?
- 1:40Speaker 3: Okay, in the two articles I've.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Written about Again with the articles.
- 1:44Speaker 3: Well, okay, okay, the way they do it, I'll tell
- 1:47Speaker 3: you the way they do it.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get to that point. Give us the solution.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Yeah, all all doctors and hospitals have to put what
- 1:54Speaker 3: they do and what they charge for it on the internet.
- 1:57Speaker 5: Now, well, there are.
- 1:58Speaker 1: A lot of people who have been pushing for that,
- 2:00Speaker 1: and that's a great idea. A lot of people have
- 2:02Speaker 1: been pushing for that. You know, you get you Sometimes
- 2:04Speaker 1: you see these bills cat scan twenty six hundred dollars
- 2:07Speaker 1: and then oh my god, twenty two insurance covers it.
- 2:10Speaker 1: But the insurance really only got billed three hundred dollars
- 2:13Speaker 1: and they only paid one six. I mean, it's all ridiculous.
- 2:16Speaker 1: You know what you pay for these medications. You're absolutely right.
- 2:19Speaker 1: A lot of people have been pushing for this, even
- 2:20Speaker 1: the president themselves, saying, make it transparent, show the real cost.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Stop playing this game for the insurance companies. Let's go
- 2:28Speaker 1: to Jim in New Jersey. Jim, how you doing?
- 2:32Speaker 5: Are you going to have O'Reilly on in a little
- 2:33Speaker 5: while in about ten minutes now, I'm not going to
- 2:38Speaker 5: tell you what to do. Mark, We however, maybe you
- 2:40Speaker 5: could do me a favor. I saw a great special
- 2:43Speaker 5: on a great president. I already knew about him. His
- 2:46Speaker 5: name is James Monroe. He died penniless in New York
- 2:49Speaker 5: City in eighteen thirty one on the fourth of July. Now,
- 2:52Speaker 5: Washington was proclaimed president by proclamation. As you know, Nixon
- 2:56Speaker 5: won forty nine states. Reagan won forty nine states.
- 2:59Speaker 1: We know only what's the point? What do you want
- 3:02Speaker 1: to ask.
- 3:05Speaker 5: If he knows if there was any president to win
- 3:07Speaker 5: every state?
- 3:08Speaker 1: Okay, there's a good question. We'll ask him that when
- 3:10Speaker 1: he gets here in a few minutes. Let's go to
- 3:12Speaker 1: Tom and Queen's.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Hey, Mark, good morning, you think with Trump with his
- 3:18Speaker 2: sense of humor. Do you think that the airport change
- 3:21Speaker 2: in Palm Beach, they would change the airport code from
- 3:24Speaker 2: PBI to TDS.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Well, yes, it's actually a good idea. Now they have
- 3:29Speaker 1: to change the code, it will no longer be PBI,
- 3:32Speaker 1: It'll probably be dj T Donald J. Trump. But you're
- 3:36Speaker 1: right that would be you know what, that's a brilliant idea,
- 3:40Speaker 1: Absolutely brilliant. They have to you know, the airport code.
- 3:44Speaker 1: It never quite matches the name, so I would think
- 3:47Speaker 1: DJT Donald J.
- 3:48Speaker 4: Trump.
- 3:49Speaker 1: But you're right, TDS would be the code for the
- 3:52Speaker 1: Trump airport. I'll pass that along. It's a great idea.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
- 3:58Speaker 4: Yeah, that is a great idea. Good morning, Mark of
- 4:01Speaker 4: morning matter. Mark Biden should get communists China to pony
- 4:05Speaker 4: up the money for his library. After all, she had
- 4:10Speaker 4: Biden in his back pocket all the time, all during
- 4:14Speaker 4: these years. Mark, people are forgetting that the gas prices
- 4:19Speaker 4: now across the country are the average prices that they
- 4:25Speaker 4: were all throughout the Joe Biden presidency. They were high
- 4:30Speaker 4: all dooring Joe Biden's presidency. And let's not forget Barack
- 4:36Speaker 4: Obama ware. At one point in New York, we were
- 4:39Speaker 4: paying Here in Brooklyn, I was paying four sixty nine
- 4:43Speaker 4: a gallon, and that was for regular you know, Mark,
- 4:49Speaker 4: Every life, every soldier's life is precious and we don't
- 4:53Speaker 4: want to lose any and Donald Trump's doing everything he
- 4:57Speaker 4: can to keep losses down to a minut them. But
- 5:01Speaker 4: let's not forget that during World War Two went on
- 5:05Speaker 4: for four years. There were four hundred and nine thousand
- 5:10Speaker 4: and seven hundred and thirteen people lost their lives, over
- 5:15Speaker 4: a million people wounded, and we're now we're near I
