News breaks out in every show. Mark Simone on 710 WOR.

Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Richard in Brooklyn. Richard, how you doing?

Hi, Mark, very good. Just the question on the oil, like you just said, we don't buy oil from Iran. We have it. I know we heard this many

times. Why is the gas so high? Oh, well, this is annoying, but here's the real reason.

There's no reason to raise the price of oil here. We got all the oil we need. We don't need to import any.

But when you close the straight, it raises the price around the world so these American oil companies even

though they don't have to raise it to match the worldwide price claiming it's just

an excuse for them to raise the price now we could order them not to do it

saying there's no reason you don't have to raise your price, put it back where it was, but then they'll retaliate by pumping less oil.

They'll just slow down the drilling, drill less barrels a day, artificially raise the price.

So we let them get away with it.

If we really had to, we could, the president could work out something for him not to raise the price because there's no reason to. Let's go to Stewart in South Carolina. Stuart, how you doing? Hey, Mark, how are you? You know, with a shooting the other day, the one thing that really bothered me, I was on a Reagan security team a couple of times, and we worked with the Secret Service and we had eyes everywhere

when this guy was able to run through that magnetometer and through those guys like that nobody

stopped him i mean why wasn't anybody having eyes out onto the street or or away from that magnetometer

when we had Reagan i mean we had guys everywhere looking everywhere.

It was like the guy on the roof when Trump was shot.

He was completely ignored.

I don't understand what's going on.

Two things going on.

Apparently, a lot of people think the perimeter was set at the wrong place.

It should have been set outside.

And I agree with that.
