• 1:53
  Speaker 1: restaurants anywhere in the tri-state area. 50 best restaurants on

• 2:14
  Speaker 1: All the great restaurants on Long Island left off the list.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: But that's Newsday. You can always count on them to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: be totally unreliable about everything. Hey, that crazy Hassan Piker,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that awful anti-Semite, that ugly, disgusting, vicious anti-Semite, he's going
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to speak at Cornell. He's been invited to speak at Cornell.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: That's why you've got to stay the hell away from
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: these Ivy League schools. Don't send your kids there, any
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: of these Ivy League schools. Experts now say the whole
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Ivy League is just a hotbed of anti-Semitism. The event
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: at Cornell... already sold out who the hell would even
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: let this guy on the campus let alone be the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: big guest star speaker sold out event absolutely ridiculous hey
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: if you want to call hey there's open lines so
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: don't tell me you can't get through there's open lines
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: 800-321-0710 is the number 800-321-0710 let's go to bill in
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: hamburg new jersey bill how you doing.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, Mark. You know, the situation with Trump
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: banning CNN and MSS, whatever the other one is, all
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: they do is propagandize. They lie. They're dishonest, as President
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Trump said. They poison minds with their information. And I
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: understand the constitutionality of freedom of speech. But when it
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: begins to poison people's minds, then they don't know what
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the hell is right from wrong anymore.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: You can't say they're poisoning people's minds. They're speaking to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the choir. They're preaching to the choir. So it's minds
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: that are already long ago poisoned. But you're right. And
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the problem is they're going to court. They're going to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: sue the president. Now, he could... very possibly make the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: case in court that they're not news organizations. He could
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: present 50, 60, 100 examples of fake news that they broadcast.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: He could present 50 big news stories that they refused
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to broadcast because they were too positive about the administration.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: So he could make the case in court. It would
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see that they're really not a news organization.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: that they're just political activists pushing a political agenda. The
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Obama administration tried doing that with Fox News. They kept
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: arguing it's not a news organization. They're just a political activist.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: So in this case, you know, the Obama administration tried it,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: gave up. But this is President Trump. He always fights harder.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: He may pull it off. He may actually get it done.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Art Lakewood, New Jersey. Art, how are
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you doing?
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I'm doing fine. Hope you are too.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: I'm good.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I've got a question. I don't know if you can
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: answer this or not, but the Clancy person who murdered
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: her three children?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: She was supposed to murder herself by committing suicide?
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I'm wondering why she only jumped off a 10-foot high
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: second floor.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Well, a lot of people, she did make a suicide attempt.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: A lot of people thought it wasn't real. It was
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: just an attempt to gain sympathy. She didn't cut the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: right vein or something. She's a nurse. She worked as
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: a nurse. She would know exactly how to kill herself,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: what vein to cut, all of that, if she really, really,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: really wanted to. So a lot of people don't think
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: it was a sincere attempt. Let's go to Diane in Illinois. Diane,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mark. You know, you have to fill me in.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: With Pritzker, four data centers in AI, I understand. Whenever
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: he's on TV, whenever I see him on, I just
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: can't listen to him. But he has to be forward
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: because construction is being planned. for a 500-acre data center
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: in a town called Essex, which is about, oh, 60
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: or 70 miles southwest of Chicago. So what's he talking about?
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: He's just anything anti-Trump. Pritzker is just anti-Trump. Whatever he
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: has to say to be anti-Trump, he'll do it. He's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a big fat slob.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: The only thing you see now on TV are commercials
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: about how he's improved the bonds in Illinois. I don't
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: know how, but Yeah.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, you're in Illinois. He's running for governor. Re-election, right?
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: So you're seeing his commercials all the time. Do they
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: show him or they use something?
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they showed him at a table signing things looking
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: really important. But he's got to be looking at president
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: because he's lost a lot of weight.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Well, he hasn't lost a lot of weight.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: You're right.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: He's lost some, but he's got a ways to go. Boy,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: don't ever get in a buffet line behind that guy.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: You're going to really get stuck there. Let's go to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Mike in Florida. Mike, how are you doing?
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Good morning, Mark.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, Mike.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: You mentioned that it's UN week. The only good thing
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: that comes out of it is that every hooker in
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: the world is here this week.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Not just regular hookers, but the really
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: expensive call girls. We're not joking. They actually descend on
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: New York. They take hotel rooms all over the place.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: There's like thousands of them. And the local hookers. The
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: local hookers can't keep up with all the demand.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: That's right. The world-class ones have invaded the city. And
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: you were talking about the stores that have the cash-counting machines.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: The hookers have the cash-counting machines, too, this time of
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: the year. And when I worked on a PIX this week,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: because that studio is right there at the old Daily News.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: 42nd and 2nd, yeah. Yeah, it was a nightmare this week.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: It was just the worst. I mean, you know, it
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: was just so crowded with, you know, bubble heads walking around,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: you know, sightseeing. It was a nightmare getting into the office.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good point, Mike. Thanks for calling. Yeah, if you
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: try to get to the east side, especially in the 40s,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: 3rd Avenue, 2nd Avenue, 1st Avenue, a lot of street closures.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: And in many of those blocks, they're closed and you
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: have to show your ID that you work on the
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: block or that you live on the block. uh, in
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: order to even get into the, to be able to
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: walk down that street. So just avoid the East side. And,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: but again, it's going to be congestion all over the place.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Those world leaders staying at the, the Pierre, the Waldorf,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the St. Regis across the street over there, the Warwick,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the Hilton, there'll be all over the place. So it'd
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: be massive, massive, uh, gridlock everywhere. And, uh, the benefit
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: is these, uh, delegates all come here, uh, They don't
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: do anything at the UN. There's nothing that means anything
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: that happens there. But they bring their families, they bring
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: their wives, they bring their mistresses, and they all go
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: on shopping sprees. They spend a fortune. So you can
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: go into the finest, most luxurious store, and you'll see
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: this big industrial-looking cash counting machine that counts the bills.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Because they'll spend $ 400, 000 in pay and cash. So those
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: counting machines are everywhere. As we say, the hookers... have
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: come from all over the world to work this week.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: It's the biggest week of the year for prostitution here
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: in New York. Anyway, we've got a lot to get to.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Don't forget, I'm on three hours now, 9 a.m. till
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: noon every day, three hours every day. And then at noon,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: you've got Buck Sexton and Clay Travis. And then at
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: 3 o'clock, you've got the most listened to radio show
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: in America, Sean Hannity, Jesse Kelly at 6, the very
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: funny Jimmy Fallon. Every Night at Nine, quite a lineup here,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: on 710WOR.
