  Speaker 2: back to Mark Zimone on woar.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Hey, we'll take some calls. Eight hundred three two one
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to Kathy North, Carolina. Kathy,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: how you doing?
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Hey? Mark, it's good to talk to you.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: It's good to hear you.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: I have a random question. I know you're not a
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: financial guru, but of course your friend Larry Cudlow is,
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: so maybe he can answer this someday. All that money
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: that Doge saved billions and billions, where does that show up?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Where is it being pocketed? Is it in the It
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: doesn't seem to be in the budget. The budget would
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: have been missing several billion dollars because we didn't have
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: to pay out to that. So I just I remember
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: talking about it and hearing about it. But where does
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: it physically show up?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Well, it doesn't show up. It's just the actual budget
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: drops bending drops a little.
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: The problem is you got Congress, and Republicans are just
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: as bad as Democrats. Whenever there's money, they start spending
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: it again. That's the problem. You can keep cutting the spending,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: but Democrats and Republicans in Congress keep bringing it back.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: But you're telling me that if if we didn't if
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: we didn't do dose, then this outrageous budget would be
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: that many more billion more.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, yes, yes, yes, yes, So.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: You are a financial guru.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: No, it's a simple common sense. If you get rid
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: of seven hundred thousand people, your pay roll is less money. Obviously,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I know, but I know it's North Carolina, but this
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: is not hard to figure out what's going on down
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: there in North Carolina.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: It's beautiful today. Fall is coming. I'm not my favorite season.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I really love summer, but it's here. It's quite nice.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: And we have that big we have a big governor's
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: race going on, I guess, or no, I guess the
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: governor is running for the Senate seat. So we're going
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: to look for that. I'm going to try to stock
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: you out with that.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Say hello to Barney, wife and OPI and everybody down there,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and hey, hey, we love North Carolina. It's a great place.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Thanks for calling. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: how you doing, good morning, Mark.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: I'm doing very well.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Mark.
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: I know in the recent past we were all told
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: not to use TikTok because it came from China and
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: it stole all of our personal information. My question is
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: what's the latest status, because I know President Trump does
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: have a TikTok account.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah you can. Well, you know he's got so many phones.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: You can have one on a phone that is not
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: on his phone. But it'll get safer and safer. I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: get to wait till it's completely turned over to the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: new Board of Directors. So instead of the communist Chinese
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: having all your data, Larry Ellenson will have it. It'll
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: be Oracle and some other people running it. But should
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: be safer. It should be safe. Hey, nowadays all these
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: apps steal everything. You just don't want to go into
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the communist Chinese government. Who knows what they're up to there.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark, that's Mike.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: He listening to the ads you played from the candidates.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: Don't you find it funny that in this day and age,
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: the ads haven't changed much. It's still I'll be ready
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: on day one. They'll have one eventually with the guy
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: sitting in the diner. It's like there's a million people
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: online who have like clever memes and you know, have
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: unique takes on things, and these politicians still can't get
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: out of the twentieth century.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a very good point. Now, the reason for
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that is there's only a handful of these political consultants,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and they go from campaign to campaign and teach everybody
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the same exact ad. You know, if you're a great
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: consultant and incredible marketing video, you're gonna go to work
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: for all these big corporations. You're not gonna do politics.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: But that's a good point. Yeah, they all do this.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I'll be ready on day one. So what everybody's ready
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: on day one? Every hey, iHeart every major company. We
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: hire people all the time. Day one, they show up,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: they're ready. We've never had anybody who we hired say
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not ready. I can't stop, I'll have to come
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: back another time. I'm just not ready. Everybody is ready
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: day one. Let's go to Stan in Forest Hills, Stan.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: How you're doing, How you doing?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Happy holidays? I just want to say, you know, I
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: keep hearing that's socialism, which I'm not a.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Communist, but you sound like a communist.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: No, no, I'm not a sound like one. Do you
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: ever hear yourself?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: But that's a little bit of a communist, you don't know.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: The point is, we have socialistic programs in this country
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: that are extremely successful. Well I mean to name them.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: They called social Security. We pay into it, but it's
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: for the masses. We have Medicare, we pay that into it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: It's for the masses, and the greatest one is Medicaid,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: which is.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: In Southern I know that's an old old cliche Democrat.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: It's not a cliche.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: We got to cut you off there. It's an old
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: democratic cliche talking point. It's a government program. It's not socialist.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, you could say that's what socialism is, government handouts,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: but it's not a socialist. You can opt in, you
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: can opt out, you can do whatever the hell you want.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You cannot take it. Let's go to David in New Jersey. David,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: how you.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Doing all right? Good morning? Thank you very much for
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: taking my call. This is the first time I ever called.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: I listened to you. You're I think you're great. Thank
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: you for what you do.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: When a guy butters you up first, it means he's
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: up to something. All right, go ahead.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I like to hear your opinion on this. We know this, Mondamie.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: He's a he's an anti semi. The Jews in New
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: York has, from my understanding, has the biggest population outside Israel.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: We know Como's a thief and a bump. What's wrong
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: with these Jews not voting against this guy? And they
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: aren't putting your.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Well, most of the Jewish community is totally against him,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: working hard against him. And let me just defend and Cuomo,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think that he's a thief, the worst governor ever. Yes,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a complete incompetent, a disgrace. Yes, all his sexual Yes,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a thief. No, we don't know if I'm actually stealing money.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: But why aren't they putting their vote towards Sleeva?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I do A lot of them are? A lot of
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: them are.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: So Sliwa should be running away with this instead of.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Well, we love the Jewish community, but it's a tiny,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: tiny part of the electorate. It's not a big part
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of it's not a big percentage of the votes, but
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: they are much of the Jewish community back in Sliva
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: and well, let's hope. So yeah, No, it's just unfortunately,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it's not a big enough part of the electorate. Again,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: it's a turnout race. If you get huge turnout, Montdomie loses.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: If you get what we've been getting for like Deblasio
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: or Eric Adams, where it's eighteen percent turnout twenty that's
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: where you have a problem. Hey, when we come back,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Liz Peak will be with us next, the great columnist.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Let's see what she thinks about all of this. We'll
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: get to that next on seven to ten. Wor
