  Speaker 1: Hey, let's take some calls. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Lou in Oyster Bay. Lou, how you doing?
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Mark, love your show.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Love you.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Talked to you last time about Sean Hannity and the
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: steak at Rothman's.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Rothman's? Great restaurant. Yeah. Sbarro family owns it now, and
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: they just opened a new one in Smithtown called Chaz.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I know all about it.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, you do?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: But anyway, a little pet peeve, a little pet peeve. Listen,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I'm a retired Port Authority police officer. My brother was NYPD,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: retired also, second grade detective. And God bless him, my son,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: three months out of the academy, NYPD.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Very good.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I say this with all love and respect. Nothing against NYPD,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: but the Port Authority's got to protect its house. You
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: had said earlier that there were 25 NYPD cops on
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: the grounds of Port Authority. And God bless, NYPD also
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: lost officers that day. So, again, this is nothing. It's
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: just they were– Port Authority runs the World Trade Center,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: and there were 25 Port Authority cops there.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. And NYPD also has cops. They don't work
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: in the building, but they work what they call the perimeter.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: They do.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, but I just wanted to give them the recognition,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the department, because we're always living under the shadow of
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the NYPD.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: You know that.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: You're from New York.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Port Authority Police.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: You're a cop in New York.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Port Authority Police are great, but they're not the real NYPD.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: They're not Andy Sipolis.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I was just going to say that. I was just
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: going to say that.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: They're not Jamie Reagan, let's be honest.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, if you're not a cop.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: They're not Danny Reagan.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: In New York City... And you're not in NYPD. You're
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: just not NYPD. So we've got to give our little
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: shouts out once in a while. All right. Thank you, Mark.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Great show.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: They're not square badges, but they're not Danny Reagan.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Well, we did lose 37 guys on 9-11.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: No, I know. I know. Port Authority police are very good.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: We still wear the badge. We still wear the shield.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: And I have this conversation in bold breaking with my brother.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: And now my son is going to bust my chops now, too.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I've got to be honest, Lou. You're a little touchy.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: A little touchy. I want you to go to Rothman's
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: tonight and have a drink. I will.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Have a great show, as always.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Go across the street. Christina's Market, one of the best
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: supermarkets in the world. Let's go to Jim in New Jersey. Jim,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Hi, Mark.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I want to let everybody know why Republicans don't want
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to vote. One of the big issues is they don't
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: want to get on jury duty. You go to vote.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Well, I hate to break it to you. I don't
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: mean to bring up reality here, but it's not 1973 anymore.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: They don't use the voter rolls for jury duty. They
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: use motor vehicles. They use leases, rents. It's not based
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: on who votes anymore. Well, that's good to hear. The
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: reason they do that is over the years, less and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: less people vote. So take this last mayoral race, you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: like 12 percent of the public vote. So they can't
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: rely on the voter rolls to look for names anymore.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Let's go to David in Queens. David, how are you doing?
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Hey, Mark. Good morning, Mark.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: With all due respect, I don't believe that radio hosts
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: or anyone in like media should be commenting on.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: The Clancy case.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: OK, we'll stop. Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Vincent, how are you doing? Good morning, Mark. Mark, I
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: just want to comment on Lindsey Clancy's lawyer.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you're not allowed to. Word came down from
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Dave and wherever the hell he was.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Well, hey, Dave. I used to throw bums like that.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: That guy looks like some old rummy that routinely I
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: would send one of the bouncers in the club to
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: throw in the street. That guy is 75 years old. Well,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I begged the public to go on Instagram in January 2024.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: There's a photo of Mark Simone and myself in the
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: iHeart Studios, the WOR Studios. And at the time, I
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: was 75 years old. Really?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: You're kidding.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: What?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: You're kidding. You don't look it.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what I'm saying. That guy looked like old
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: rummies that I would routinely have to throw out because
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: they'd overstay their welcome or they'd have their hands in
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: the wrong place in the club. So, anyway, I could
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: see how that one holdout wanted a pinup for murder.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, Vincent, I like when you use those old-fashioned
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: terms like a rummy. A rummy. That's like, look here,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you mugs.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: An old drunk, man. How about that? But this woman
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: should be sent. Is Creedmoor still in operation, Mark?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Well, they should send her. I know Kings Park out
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: in Long Island, that nut, St. Louis Island, is still
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: in operation. They should send her to the equivalent place
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: up in Massachusetts, and she could practice her Bostonian accent
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: as she speaks to the world. This woman should never
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: see the light of day again. And this is a
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: true story. In Italy, they learned from the Americans, and
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: the criminals were pulling that criminally insane stuff over there.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Then they changed the law. Unless you have a track
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: record where you were seeing a shrink, you were on meds,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: you were hospitalized. If you go out and whack somebody,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: they're not going to take the insanity.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Well, didn't she have a record of that? Wasn't she
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: under psychiatric care?
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: No, I'm saying in Italy they're doing that. But, Mark,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: you don't... To choke out three kids like that takes time.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: And you go from one to the other. Well, what
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: are you going for? All right.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. I agree. That's why I can't
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: have any sympathy for this woman. Great call.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Go away, Mark.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I agree. Thanks for calling. Hey, when we come back,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the hunt for Steve Moore. I think he'll be here
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: this time. We'll talk to Steve Moore next on 710 W.O.R.
