Hi?
Speaker 4 (00:20):

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Mark? Every time to cap or a Korean War or
Vietnam War, had the World War, I say thank you
for your service. And I always asked them to shake
their hands to anybody like where you were and what.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
You did, and now you ever sit down, nobody's interested.
And I said, you know, you have to get the
same answer in school anymore. These kids today have to
know what you guys? You American history?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Well, yeah, that's the bit the biggest problem, too big,
the two biggest problems trying to run into democracies when
you have totally corrupt media, totally slanted biased. Then the
university's got hijacked a couple decades ago and they've become
woke in doctrine nation centers and not teaching real American
history and all that stuff. Let's go to Phil and Queens. Phil,
(01:09):
how you doing?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (01:12):
How you doing?
Speaker 6 (01:12):
Happy Veterans Day to all the veterans. I think they're
fifteen million or so. I had a crazy idea last night.
I wanted to run it by you. I think President
Trump should invite bib Netanyaho to New York City and
they should show up at the inauguration, and also invite
everybody else who should have a mostly peaceful protest. Maybe
(01:34):
a lot of the people.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Who show up.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I don't think he's going to do that, but there
has been Mamdannie has said he will arrest bb Nettnau
if he comes to New York, which of course is
just absolutely ludicrous. But President Trump has said if bb
netnah Who wants to come to New York, he will
have federal agents escort him and guard him and protect
him from any crazy crap. Mamdani might try to pull
(01:57):
so at some point, not the inauguration, but at some
point they may. He may have to come here to
address the UN or something. The President has said he
will protect netnya Who at all times. From Mom, Donnie,
let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave, how you doing, good.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Morning, Mark.
Speaker 7 (02:13):
I'm doing very well, Thank you, Mark. I watched in
fascination yesterday president Trump's swearing in of the Syrian president
by Vice President JD. Vance.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
A couple of.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Things stuck out.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
Judge Janine Piro is all business, and she was directing
where a number of the officials should stand behind President Trump.
I believe this was by his requests. And amongst other things,
President Trump said that at some point soon we are
going to see gas prices dropped to two dollars a gallon.
And lastly, Mark, he was speaking about taking a lot
(02:50):
of those tariffs money and giving it to the poor
and middle Yeah, just as we just said what you
just mentioned, yes, sir, yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
But gas prices are coming down all over the place. Now.
People in New York sait I don't matter. Still four
dollars ago. Well, that's New York, that's New York State,
that's New Jersey, that taxing the hell out of every
gallon of guests. But they are down dramatically. The places
where they're coming down at a very slow rate of
New York and California, but that's due to state tax
(03:18):
and city tax, all sorts of gas taxes. But if
you look around the country, state by state, they've come down.
Trump loves this new Syrian leader. I've had an agreement
with him. He's a very strong leader.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
He comes from a very.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Tough place, and he's tough guy.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
I liked him. I get along with him. The president,
the new president. Yeah, so it'll be a good we'll
give've got something out him. Let's go to Patrick and
east Chester. Patrick.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
How you doing, hey, Mark? Yes, I'm actually a veteran
and I was drafted years ago. You were in the military, Yes,
you know Vietnam conflict.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
But were you on our side?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yes, it was on our side. But what might might
bring a smile to the face of several of you
New York listeners when they drafted you years ago, They
would actually send a subway token in the mail when
you'd get a letter in the mail, a formal draft
notice that you were drafted and inducted and you had
to report on a certain day and David Scott Staper
subway too, kidding, Yes, And it'll bring a smile to
(04:17):
the face of a lot of your New York area listeners.
So you couldn't say A person couldn't say, well, like
the reason why I couldn't report I had no money,
you know, to get to Wright Wall Street, you know,
for the induction in the ceremony.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Congratulations, We thank you for your service. Another great veteran here.
Now for your kids listening right now, going, what the
hell is a subway token? This? This is going to
sound crazy to you. It was a look like a coin,
like a big coin. You had to have this token.
You know, if you're a kid today, you don't know
what we're talking about. You even never heard of a
phone booth. You don't know what a TV antenna is.
(04:53):
You had to put the token in a slot. You
had to buy tokens and carry them around in your pocket.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
You know they kids today don't They don't even know
what a metro card is. You just pay with your iPhone.
But let's go to Tom and Queen's Tom.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
How you doing, Hey, Mark, Good morning again, slut to
the veterans today. Question for you, Now that we know
that Schumer is going to be out, does that open
up the door for Andrew Cuomo?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah? Please? I just ate? Oh my god? Yes, what
do you think? Uh? You know Culomo is finished. I
don't know that he knows it. H I think he
thinks he can run again for something. He can't. He's finished,
but he cannot run for Schumer's seat, because when Schumer leaving,
(05:44):
it's going to be the AOC types that we're going
to go after that seat, the progressives, the woke and
don't remember. Schumer looks like an old, old, old relic,
like a tired old dinosaur, and Cuomo has that same look.
He's another Schumer that they're not gonna They're all out
to get Schumer, but they're not going to replace him
(06:06):
with another Schumer. So Cuomo had no shot at that seat.
Rumor has he wants to move to Florida. You never know,
you never know. You know, all these people he hangs
out with his donors, they're all also in Florida, so
they may be, you know, maybe thinks he's got a
shot down there at something, but again he's he's just
Chuck Schumer. He's the same look, the same era, the
(06:28):
same everything. So he can't run for that. Hey, when
we come back, Bill O'Reilly will be with us next.
Lots to talk about with him. On seven to ten.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
