White Blaine. Steve, how you doing?

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Merry Christmas? Mark?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Thanks Steve.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Mark. The Democrats caused most of these issues with healthcare,
and over the last ten fifteen years they have been
very successful at convincing the American public, at least according
to all the polls. I see that it was the
Republican's fault for all these healthcare issues that we're having.

(00:43):
And if the Republicans don't do something to extend the
subsidies or something else quick and healthcare costs increase, like
they will forget the midterms. Am I missing something here?

Speaker 4 (00:57):
I guess to.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
A million years from now, the whole landscape will change
eight times before the midterms. Hey, let me ask you
a better question. Are you a former radio guy?

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah? You asked me that Usually what I call it?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, you sound like a radio sort of announce hera
you either that or your car salesman?

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Which is it? No? I did radio for thirty five years.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh, Okay, do you have that radio sound or Lexus
salesman Lexus of West.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yes, I don't like the salesman concept. No, definitely not.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
All right, Well you sound great, Thanks for calling. Let's
go to Chris and Queen's Chris, how you doing?

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Hey? Mark, A big fan for.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
I can't believe that they're talking about.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
A long time what do you call it?

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Liner?

Speaker 1 (01:50):
But they don't give.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Any Well, I don't know what you said, but as
long as you did, you got your point across. Yes,
you made your point. We don't know what it is,
but you made it. That's important. Let's go to Dave
in Chicago. Dave, how you doing?

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Good morning, Mark. I'm doing very well, Thank you, Mark.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
If I had the capability to be an advisor to
suse you whiles, I would recommend that she'd go on
Fox News channel and asks Sean aunt Hannity to interview her,
and knowing Sean, he would probably give her the full hour.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Well, yeah, he's saying, you know, to explain this vanity
fair piece. I don't know the better better idea might
be just let it go, don't waste too much time
on it. It's it's good fighter for MSNBC and the
Trump Arrangement syndrome crowd, but it'll burn out on its
own by after a day or two. Let's go to
Pam and Patterson. Pam, how you doing.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Hey, I have answers to your two questions. Rob Reiner's
son went back to that hotel room after the murders. Yeah,
I had heard that. Yeah, And so I think he
brought some of the bled back with him on a
sheet or whatever and kind of swathe himself in it
like a serial killer, because that's part of the control, Like, look,

(03:06):
I got control of you. That's something a serial killer
would do. And then second I think, oh god, I'm
running a blank here.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
In terms of why his father would be so vitriolic
all of a sudden while everybody describes him as so sweet, well,
perhaps the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Well, did you get my drift?

Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's not just him, there's a lot. Well, we all
know people like this. They're nice, sweet, normal people. You
get them. On the subject of Trump, they're like vicious,
hate filled maniacs when they talk about Trump. It's just unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
But perhaps he was that way with his family at times.
And we don't know about it. A lot of people
hide that, you.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Know, well, I don't know. The other kids look pretty nice.
The rest of the family looks pretty nice. They all
I don't know. I'm not a psychiatrist, but you know
who is Curtis Leewill. We'll talk to him next. Curtis next.
I had a lot of questions to ask him. Now
that the mayoral race is totally over, completely over. There's
a few things I want to we'll well, we'll get
