- 0:00Speaker 1: Now more Mark alone.
- 0:02Speaker 2: On sevent ten. Okay, let's take some calls. Let's go
- 0:08Speaker 2: to John in Florida. John, how you doing?
- 0:11Speaker 3: Good morning, Mop. Wouldn't be the best interest of the
- 0:14Speaker 3: oil company's work, which right now, the lower the prices
- 0:19Speaker 3: while this is going on, because if we lose the midtimes,
- 0:22Speaker 3: they're gonna be pickle because of the Democrat takes all.
- 0:25Speaker 3: But they're gonna stop them from trapping dwelling and every
- 0:27Speaker 3: other dam.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Yeah, I know they like to convince you, oh, the
- 0:30Speaker 2: whole midterm revolves around oil prices. It won't, and they'll
- 0:33Speaker 2: probably come plunging down in a few weeks after this
- 0:35Speaker 2: is all over. You could make the oil companies lower
- 0:38Speaker 2: the price. There was no reason to raise it. They've
- 0:42Speaker 2: just raised it to match the international price, even though
- 0:45Speaker 2: both of the oil is sold here. But if you
- 0:46Speaker 2: force them to do that, they would just cut production
- 0:50Speaker 2: and that would raise the price. So you don't want
- 0:52Speaker 2: them to do that either. Let's go to Stuart in
- 0:54Speaker 2: South Carolina. Stuart, how you doing?
- 0:57Speaker 4: Hey?
- 0:57Speaker 5: More carry you? You know you mentioned Nikki Haley. I've
- 1:00Speaker 5: been in South in South Carolina, we would not elect
- 1:07Speaker 5: that woman as a dogcatcher. She you have to know
- 1:11Speaker 5: South Carolina politics. But she absolutely embarrassed the state over
- 1:15Speaker 5: the flag, threw us under the bus. We have so
- 1:19Speaker 5: many trans plants here now they don't know about South
- 1:21Speaker 5: Carolina politics.
- 1:23Speaker 4: But yeah, we we.
- 1:24Speaker 5: Can't stand that woman. When Trump hired or got her
- 1:27Speaker 5: out of South Carolina, we were very happy. We knew
- 1:30Speaker 5: she wasn't going to do well. And uh, yeah she
- 1:33Speaker 5: You know, I was on radio for many years and
- 1:35Speaker 5: I did a lot of interview Oh yeah, and Nikki Haley.
- 1:40Speaker 5: Uh and I were many functions together. I used to
- 1:43Speaker 5: do a lot of interviews Eric Trump and that and me,
- 1:48Speaker 5: and so I got to know Haley. And you know,
- 1:52Speaker 5: there's some real problems there. So everything that you say
- 1:55Speaker 5: you're spot on, you really are.
- 1:57Speaker 2: For calling you. I've confirmed that with everybody from the
- 2:00Speaker 2: President to everybody in the cabinet. Nicki Haley behind the scenes,
- 2:04Speaker 2: the nastiest, lying, scheming woman behind the scenes. There was
- 2:09Speaker 2: one time I was on a TV show with a
- 2:10Speaker 2: cabinet member. One time I said something like that and
- 2:13Speaker 2: he said, well, I'm not going to say anything bad
- 2:15Speaker 2: about Nicki Haley. And then we went to a commercial
- 2:18Speaker 2: and I said, what the hell was that? And he
- 2:20Speaker 2: said worst person I've ever worked with in my life.
- 2:24Speaker 2: Everybody has confirmed it. Let's go to Chris in Manhattan. Chris,
- 2:29Speaker 2: how you doing.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Good morning, Mark, I'm okay. Next listen about the oil
- 2:34Speaker 1: and everything.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Let me point out, Chris, is what we call a panic,
- 2:38Speaker 2: panics about everything. We're going to lose the last election
- 2:41Speaker 2: because of abortion. What was the other thing of panic about?
- 2:44Speaker 1: Well, no abortion. I am still surprised that we did
- 2:47Speaker 1: not lose all price.
- 2:49Speaker 2: It to you, it's not an issue of any kind.
- 2:52Speaker 2: The president has no connection to the abortion issue. There's
- 2:55Speaker 2: no power over abortion nothing. It's no longer a federal issue.
- 2:59Speaker 2: It's a state issue.
- 3:01Speaker 4: All right.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Well, anyway about about the oil prices and everything. The
- 3:04Speaker 1: whole world is hating us now because we're causing.
- 3:07Speaker 2: The If you went back four months, they didn't love us.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Trump said yesterday that maybe the prices will still be
- 3:16Speaker 1: the same, we're a little bit higher during the election.
- 3:20Speaker 2: You still haven't figured this out, have you?
- 3:22Speaker 4: What?
- 3:24Speaker 2: Take all the Trump comments for the last few weeks,
- 3:26Speaker 2: they're all over the map. The price will be plunging
- 3:28Speaker 2: in two weeks. The price will never come. He does
- 3:30Speaker 2: this all the time to confuse the enemy.
- 3:33Speaker 1: But now we're the straight and not the Iranians. What's
- 3:37Speaker 1: the difference. We're still causing a shortage around the world.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Well, there's no shortage here, I know.
- 3:42Speaker 1: But but we can't lower our prices artificially because we're
- 3:45Speaker 1: the ones that caught that's causing pain to everybody else.
- 3:48Speaker 2: So we can't do that. We're not We can open
- 3:52Speaker 2: the straits anytime.
- 3:53Speaker 1: You're the best show on the radio.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Once again, Admiral Cooper sent com. They have the plans.
- 3:59Speaker 2: That's full. If they can open the streets or hormos
- 4:01Speaker 2: any time they want. When they decide they're going to
- 4:03Speaker 2: open it, it will be open, just like that. It's
- 4:07Speaker 2: in our interest right now to keep it closed. It'll
- 4:11Speaker 2: be a few weeks. It'll be a few weeks, but
- 4:14Speaker 2: then the price is by summer you're going to be
- 4:16Speaker 2: paying a two fifty for gas. It's gonna come back.
- 4:18Speaker 4: Okay.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Are we going to save the Iranian citizens that we
- 4:21Speaker 1: told to fight because we were coming and we had
- 4:23Speaker 1: their backs So.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Far we have. Yeah. They were wiping them out of
- 4:26Speaker 2: like a thousand every day before.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Not anymore.
- 4:29Speaker 2: No, No, they're busy fighting us. They're not shooting on
- 4:32Speaker 2: the streets anymore. No, they can't shoot people in the
- 4:34Speaker 2: streets because they'd have to appear out on the streets
- 4:36Speaker 2: where we would blow them up. Republican guard in hiding.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Remember it's just before we started this war. They had
- 4:42Speaker 2: shot thirty thousand people in the streets. Let's go to
- 4:45Speaker 2: rich in Myrtle beach. Rich how you doing good?
- 4:48Speaker 4: Only look, give him some prozac of something. He needs
- 4:51Speaker 4: to calm down.
- 4:52Speaker 2: It's not just him, This is that there are a
- 4:54Speaker 2: lot of people. No they're Democrats, but a lot of Republicans.
- 4:58Speaker 2: They're happier, worrying and think everything's gonna everything's terrible. You know,
- 5:03Speaker 2: people like that, right, they prefer.
- 5:05Speaker 4: Well, they want to take up you know, we'd legal
- 5:07Speaker 4: in a million states now. They want to stay smoking
- 5:09Speaker 4: weed and calm down or something like that.
- 5:10Speaker 2: You know, everybody hold one of them in the family.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Everybody's happy that there's always one in the family. Goes, oh, well,
- 5:16Speaker 2: it's never gonna They just want to be miserable. They
- 5:19Speaker 2: enjoy it.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Well, my brother moved down here from New York and he's,
- 5:23Speaker 4: you know, so anti Trump. He votes in the Republican
- 5:26Speaker 4: primary just to vote against Trump. Which is another problem
- 5:29Speaker 4: with the state. And Stewart is right. I mean when
- 5:31Speaker 4: I moved down here twenty fourteen, I wasn't even here
- 5:34Speaker 4: two or three weeks, and we all hated Nikki Haley
- 5:36Speaker 4: and she's in the same ballpark as Mike Pence. Neither
- 5:38Speaker 4: one of them could get elected as a dog catch anymore.
- 5:41Speaker 4: But this Eric Faller thing is awesome because here's a
- 5:44Speaker 4: guy they needed him for so long, and he must
- 5:47Speaker 4: have really pissed somebody off big time for them to
- 5:49Speaker 4: just turn on him on a dime and all the
- 5:51Speaker 4: stuff come out all at one time. They must really
- 5:53Speaker 4: want him out, which is awesome because you might actually
- 5:56Speaker 4: have two Republicans on the ticket for the governor of California.
- 6:00Speaker 4: What do you max you have a Republican government by default.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's tough because it's two thirds Democrat in California,
- 6:07Speaker 2: but it's possible. The best candidate in a long long
- 6:09Speaker 2: time is Steve Hilton. We'll see. Let's go to Mike
- 6:13Speaker 2: in Saint James, Long Island, Saint James James. Very nice, Mike,
- 6:16Speaker 2: how you doing fine?
- 6:18Speaker 4: Mark? Thank you. The new supermarket City owned supermarket opening
- 6:23Speaker 4: in Harlem. Schedule to open in about three years. Do
- 6:27Speaker 4: you think that's a no big contract.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Well, that's another thing, very good point. Now, as they said,
- 6:34Speaker 2: the supermarket business is the toughest business in the world.
- 6:36Speaker 2: You're on a one percent profit margin. You got to
- 6:39Speaker 2: really know how to get the best prices. Government doesn't
- 6:42Speaker 2: know how to do that. You're right, they'll overpay, They'll
- 6:45Speaker 2: give it to the highest bidder. It'll never work, it'll
- 6:48Speaker 2: it'll cost three times as much if the government tries
- 6:50Speaker 2: to sell you grocer. Anytime the government tries to sell
- 6:54Speaker 2: you something, it costs five times what it would in
- 6:56Speaker 2: the private sector. So hey, when we come back, Bruce
- 6:59Speaker 2: blake And most likely will be the next governor in
- 7:02Speaker 2: New York. He'd be a great governor. We'll talk to
- 7:04Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman next on seven to ten wor
