  Speaker 2: Well, hey, some sad news. Marion Scotto has passed away.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: She's the mother of Rosanna Scotto. And if you've been
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: to their great restaurant, Fresco, on 52nd Street, Fresco, that
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: was always Marion Scotto sitting there at the front at
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the desk when you walked in. Passed away. It's a
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: wonderful woman. Let's take some calls. Let's go to Stuart
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: in South Carolina. Stuart, how are you doing?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Hey, Mark, how are you? You know, yesterday in that
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: election with Darlene Graham Norton, she's not Darlene Graham, we
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: had 12.5% participation, basically. Norman took the upper part of
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the state, and Graham took the rest of the state.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: South Carolina is solidly a Trump state, and This election
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: was basically emotional, I believe. You know, she's going to win,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: so we're going to have another one for six years
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: with Graham. You know, I'm just hoping for the best.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: If you had seen the debate, I mean, she did
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: really poorly.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but what was so great about that Ralph Norman?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't—I didn't vote for Norman before. For Norman,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I voted for Norman because I didn't want Graham in
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: there because she basically has no experience. She doesn't, like
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I said, with the debate, it was just awful. It
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: was awful. So putting her in there was basically an
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: emotional decision on the part of many people.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, I'll have to remember, when you
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: talk to these longtime senators, whether it's Schumer, whether it's
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Hakeem Jeffries, when it comes to foreign policy or any
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: of these things, they don't know anything either. I mean,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: they sound better and they talk like they do. But
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: they don't know a damn thing about anything.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: You know, the one thing, we don't have 50 million
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: people in South Carolina. We have 5 million people. It's just,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: if you know South Carolina politics, Mark, we had actually
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: been trying to get rid of Graham for a couple
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of decades. And he would do things that were fantastic. Absolutely. Now,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: during Trump time, he's been great with the Kavanaugh hearings.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: He was absolutely fantastic. But there's so many things he
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: did that would just infuriated us. And I'm just thinking,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: here we go again. You know, is she going to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: vote for Democrat judges?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Actually, people that know both of them well say that
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the good news is Darlene Graham is a rock solid conservative.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: She'll vote correctly on everything. Unlike Lindsey Graham, who, as
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: you say, could make some left turns now.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Well, if that is true, Mark, I will support her
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: 100 percent. I absolutely will. So I'm just really hoping
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: for the best. So, I mean, she's going to solidly
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: win in this state. We are still a red state,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: and we are still solidly Trump. So she's going to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: do well.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, you'll be happy. Stuart, thanks for calling.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Great call. Let's go to Kay in Manhattan. Kay, how
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: are you doing?
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Hello, Mark. I'm doing well. Thank you. I'd like to
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: talk about this Abdul El-Sayed. I was very disturbed by
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: the interview he had with Jesse Waters because I felt
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: people came away with it with kind of a ha-ha attitude.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: And he asked Jesse about, I mean, I think the
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: name is Snake. I think he's really dangerous. And I mean,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: it's just evil to support castration of children. and then
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: compare it to circumcision.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I know, that was the stupidest thing. He claimed circumcision
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: was the same thing as gender-altering surgery. Circumcision is like
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: a manicure as opposed to amputation. There's a big difference,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: but you're right. He is just awful. I don't think
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: he'll win, Kay. Don't worry. Don't worry. He's not going
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to win. Michigan won't vote for him.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: I hope not. His thing about comparing... uh sharia law
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: it's a canon law in the church in the catholic.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Church that's nuts well they're all nuts these socialists that's
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: what they believe don't worry hey i'm from michigan i'm
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: telling you he will not win michigan he'll win dearborn
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: he'll win ann arbor that's it he won't win the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: rest of michigan don't worry okay thanks for calling uh
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: let's go to let's go to vincent in brooklyn vincent
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: how you doing Good.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Morning, Mark. Mark, I'm okay. Mark, yesterday you were spot
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: on when you mentioned the fact with Bill O'Reilly that
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Kathy Hochul gave the Public Service Commission, which she has
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: all her cronies on there, and they green-lighted 12 rate
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: increases for Con Edison. In the past, because I get
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the property... I get the class of buildings and the
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: property taxes that they're going to have, like commercial real estate, corporations,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: it's usually 12% a year. So I was saying to myself,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: how does the corporations and the utility companies... justify these
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: rate increases. Well, I didn't realize what you said yesterday.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Kathy Hochul raises the property taxes on all these corporations
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: like the utility companies, but then with a wink at
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: a nod, she says, don't worry about it. You're going
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: to make the deficit up because I'm going to give
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: you 12 rate hikes during the course of my tenure. Yeah.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Now, when it comes to increasing your electric bill, let's
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: give Andrew Cuomo the credit he deserves. He closed Indian Point.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: That drove everybody's electric bill through the roof.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: But you really made it clear yesterday because it took
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: me a while. I said to myself, because every year
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the Department of Finance sends you the building classes and
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: what their property tax rates are going to be. And
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: you look at the utility companies, it's usually like 12%.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: And I said to myself, oh, that's why our bills
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: are going up. Little did I know it was a
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: wink and a nod between the Public Service Commission, Kathy Hochul,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: and the utility companies.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's not good. And any issue, she stinks on
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: every single issue.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Growth rate increases.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. All right. Well, great, great call. Thanks for calling, Vincent.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Take care. When we come back, Ann Coulter will be
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: with us next. Lots to talk to her about, and
• 6:32
