  Speaker 1: Let's go to K in Manhattan. K. How you doing, hello?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Mark?
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Thank you. I want to say that I completely support
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: keeping the carriages and not banning them. First of all,
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: I don't think those horses are abused. I think that
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: in regard to how long they've been around, they have
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: a pretty safe history. Yeah, and one that helicopter can't
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: accident happened that wiped out a whole family, which is
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: horrible as this tragedy. This was also a tragedy. No
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: one spoke about banning the helicopter.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Actually more years years ago, they had believe or not
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you could land a helicopter on the pan Am building
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: which is now the MetLife building. They had a helipad
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: on the top. People would come in from the airport
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and one hundred times a day one of them crashed
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and it killed and they banned it right then and there.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: But I agree with you. But when was the last
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: time you took a riding one of those horse drawn carriages.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I hadn't taken a ride in a long time, but
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I used to see them frequently, and the horses did
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: not look like they were The horses look healthy, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: if you got rid of those horses, they probably end
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: up being a slaughter for their meat.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: That's a good point. Them all very good points. All right.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I have to agree with you Ka, very very good points.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Thanks for thanks for calling. You know, if I were
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: a horse, I think I would like that. You know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: if you're a horse, what are you Are you going
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to be out in a farm somewhere doing nothing when
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you could be in Central Park walking around Central Park
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: every day. It's a good job for a horse. I
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: guess let's go to Peter in New York.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Peter, how you doing, hey Mark, thanks for taking the call.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: A quick question. If Bruce Blakeman becomes the governor of
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the book, can he get rid of Mondamie and Alvin Bragg?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: He can get rid of Alvin Bragg just like that.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Believe it or not. District attorney's a state job. He
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: can fire Alvin Bragg immediately and put in a real
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: district attorney. That he can do. Mayor's a little tougher.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: You got to have some sort of You can remove
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: him for thirty days, but then it goes to a hearing,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and I think the legislature votes on it then. But yeah,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you're right. I forgot to mention that he can get
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: rid of Alvin Bragg's good point. DeSantis had to do
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that in Florida. The Soros types got one of those
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Alvin Braggs elected in Florida who was letting everybody out,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: not prosecuting. And Blakeman, I mean, DeSantis removed him, just
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: removed him from office, stuck in a real da and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: it changed the whole crime situation. That's another reason you
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: got to vote for Bruce Blakeman. Let's go to Rich
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: in Myrtle Beach. Rich, how you doing?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Hey? Thanks Mark? Only you love New York so much
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: that you would want a horse to be in the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: city and not be out in the pasture just doing nothing.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: You know, if you're a horse set out in the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: past you're doing nothing to be a little boring. Wouldn't
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you rather be in New York. Let's say you were
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the horse.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Now, if you got now, if you've got a lot
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: of female horses around, that's all they do, right, Hey, Listen,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I heard you talking about tipping before. You know.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Down here in.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Myrtle Beach, the big scam now is you know the
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: credit card company's always going to charge your restaurant like
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: one and a half percent to run the card. Yeah,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the restaurant's now charge three or three and a half percent,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: so they're doubling the money. So they're actually making more
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: money on your check. When they only have to give
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: the credit card company one point five percent, they're keeping
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: an extra one point five or two percent. And now
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: people down here up and arms and that about that.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: And we won't eat those kind of restaurants here. I
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: try to use as much cash as I possibly can.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: You know, yeah, no, I've noticed that. You know, they
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: charge a little more for a credit card, but I
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: know it's a little more. Got to be like double
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: what it's supposed to be. You're right, they're making.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: A pro exactly exactly.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Well, you can walk around just paying in cash, but
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: then you know, you look like Tony Soprano or something.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Cash is what makes us well go around mark, You know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: mom and pop, fifty dollars turns with a lot of
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: money when it goes through three or four hands.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: You know, I hate to break it to you, for
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: most people, there's no cash anymore. No, most people don't,

  Speaker 4: Good morning, Marca morning Mara Marked the driver of that
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: carriage the horse carriage. He's on the hook because it
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: was against the rules to get out of the cab
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: and take a shot. Mark. You're right about the Europeans
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: not tipping. That's because in Europe and most of the
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: places I visited, the gratuities built in the bill. If

  Speaker 4: you want to give something extra, you can mark that
• 5:33

• 5:38
  Speaker 4: the fast food restaurants or raised pizza store with that
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: swinging door at the top that they have. On Juneteenth
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: last week, a representative of the Black construction Workers and
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: the Black Builders Association of Chicago made the rounds on
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: the media and he was complaining that a lot of
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: the subcontractors are on the hook, that Obama didn't paid them,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: and many of them lost their contracts with their building
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: material suppliers, some of them to make ends meet, how
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: to put second mortgages on their house.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're not getting paid. You notice they can't get
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: any coverage. I wonder why anyway, Vincent, great call, Thanks
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: for calling you. If that were the Trump Library and
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: contractors weren't paid, that's all you'd be hearing about. The
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Obama coverage has left that out of the story
