The Mark Arum Show 07-15-26 HR 3

No, I'll run this town to be near you. I stand alone. 1,500, extremely busy Newsday Wednesday. Welcome back, friends. Mark Airman, crew, with you until noon. Deborah, I just narrowly escaped a possible HR violation during the news break. What happened? I went to the break room to freshen up my coffee and... Jonathan, are you listening? Jonathan O'Brien? I'm with you, Mark. You're on Trepid reporter. So I walk into the break room, and I see Jennifer Perry in there, our beloved former colleague. And I wanted to run up and give her a hug from behind. Well, she's a former colleague, so it might not have mattered. But it wasn't her. Oh. Yeah, it was her stunt double. I was like, yeah, and she turned. I was like, oh, that is not Jennifer Perry. Oh, yeah. That could have been an HR violation. I was very close. So Jonathan, if you can. Sneak out to the break room and see if the Jennifer Perry's stunt double is still there. Mark, I was just about to say, I'm glad I heard the rest of your story because I was about to run out there and say hello to her myself. So you saved me. So you're the reporter here. Try to find out Jennifer Perry Stunt Double's name because I've never seen this woman before my life. All right. I'll run over there now. Yeah, be the man on the street. I love giving Jonathan O'Brien assignments. Fantastic stuff. Welcome back to the Mark Aram Show. Coming up in 30 minutes, Debra's got an amazing prize pack to give away. Kleinie are going to join us in studio. They are viral sensations from across the pond. Two fellas from the UK that have been doing a 39-day... road trip here in the United States for the World Cup. They're obviously in town to root on England against Argentina today at 3 p.m. You just heard from Alex Williams. Traffic's already bare getting down to what we normally call Mercedes-Benz Stadium. So I'm very excited to have Woody and Kleine in studio coming up in 30 minutes. We are continuing to monitor the confirmation hearing of Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, looking to succeed Pam Bondi. Let's listen live in at Capitol Hill. You must chairman based on the statements just made by the senator from Tennessee. We've checked the transcript of the committee. During the November 30th, 2023 Supreme Court Ethics subpoena authorization markup. I chaired and attempted to recognize Marsha Blackburn multiple times so that she could offer amendment regarding Epstein's flight logs. But her Republican colleagues prevented her from doing so by filibustering and then invoking the Senate rule on two hours. That's Democratic Senator Dick Durbin. So a lot of hills for Mr. Todd Blanche to climb. The Epstein files, former Attorney General Pambani, kind of as she was out the door, said Todd Blanche.

has been charged the Epstein files from day one. He's been dealing with it. You talk to him about the Epstein files. We have that. The anti-weaponization fund. So there's a lot of questions that senators have, but the math might not. add up for him because Mitch McConnell is not healthy and cannot vote there. There are four senators that have already discussed skepticism of confirming Todd Blanche, including two senators that are not running for re-election and don't seem beholden to President Trump or this nominee. So we'll see what happens. Will John Fetterman vote against the Democrats again? It's certainly not a slam dunk guarantee this Todd Blanche confirmation, but you will get updates throughout the day. Of course, here on 955 WSP. Meantime. Joining us on the Mark Aram Show, our good friend correspondent, Roy O'Neill. Rory, trying to decide if we are going to have to change our clocks twice a year. We had movement on Capitol Hill yesterday regarding making daylight saving time permanent. Right. It got through the House with bipartisan support. So now it's over to the Senate. And you might remember, the Senate passed this like a decade ago, but then it went nowhere in the House. So maybe it's got a chance. Look, a lot of Americans are deeply divided on this issue. I think everyone agrees, lock the clock or kill the switch or ditch the switch, whatever little term they want to use. We all hate changing the clocks twice a year. But there's a debate. Do we lock in daylight saving time? Or do we lock in? standard time. You know, if you go to daylight saving time year round in Georgia, the Atlanta sunrise doesn't happen until 842 a.m. What? Whoa, whoa, whoa. That is with daylight saving time? Yeah, that's the kind of change we're looking at. In Indianapolis, it's even worse, sunrise 9.04 a.m. permanent daylight saving time in January. Ah, I'm not a fan of that. 8.40 in the morning. Wow, okay, that's interesting. So I'm of the opinion, you know, let's lock the clock, like you said. I don't care either way, daylight saving or standard time. But hearing that 8.40 a.m. sunrise, maybe I'm... leaning toward locking in standard time. Well, right. And that's the debate, I guess, because this would allow states to make that decision. But then it all comes down to economics as well in terms of, well, do you want to be in standard time when New York is in saving time? And now you're an hour out of the New York. I mean, everyone wants to sort of be in tune with the New York economy, right? Or vice versa, whatever it may be. So, yeah, there's a lot to it. And look, you can have arguments on both sides. Parents hate the idea of kids being out in the dark trying to get to school. I mean, again, 842 sunrise, and that's the earliest time, right? And then, but at the flip side, look, if you come home, that 842 scenario is for January 15th. Now, if you come home from work, say it's 5, now with Atlanta traffic, 545, he still would have a sunset at 6.51.

So you'd still get home and say, hey, you know what, honey, let's go out because it's still daylight. But, you know, on the flip side, you grew up in the Northeast. In January, it's dark at 4.30. And when you come home, right, and when you come home from work at 515, It's dark out. You're like, you are locked in. We're not going out. We're not spending money. We're just going to hang in. And that's it. So there is the economic argument to be made for daylight saving time. Yeah, Rory, we talked to our buddy Scott Slade yesterday about this, and he did some research. And apparently daylight saving time was passed nationally for one year back in the 70s, and it didn't go well. And after one year, they scrapped it. And I know there were some, I think it was a Democratic congresswoman yesterday during the... the testimony and the votes saying that the statistics show that daylight saving time is actually more dangerous and it's not good overall, but didn't sway still a bipartisan passage. Well, right, and a couple of notes. Yeah, that was 1973 to 74. It started with about 80% support and after four months it had support in the 40s. So it dropped like a rock. It dropped like the sun in January. So really, Americans didn't like it when we locked the clocks over 50 years ago. And some of those numbers about whether it's saved for dangerous, heart attack, strokes. A lot of that is because of the changing. Not necessarily whether you pick saving or standard. It's the idea that you change the routine twice a year. My dog is firmly on lock the clock, so she doesn't have to wait an extra hour when we spring forward. Interesting. you wait what the Senate has to say about this first, though, right? Right, and it doesn't look too optimistic in the Senate right now, so that's a little bit iffy. But imagine driving home from work, the morning news crew, they're all done with the morning drive news. They're driving home and the sun is coming up. I mean, that's sort of crazy. Yeah. You know, an 840 to sunrise in Atlanta. Yeah, that is, that's a statistic that will stick with me. Rory, great stuff, as always, my friend. Feel free to hit snooze a couple times tomorrow morning. Every time I listen to you, I don't need to hit the button. That's great. Later, buddy. I'm catching shrapnel from Rory O'Neill. All right, a couple of takeaways on this, Deborah. I do not want to live in a world where sunrise in Atlanta is 840 in the morning. Yeah, that's too late. That's severe. That being said, Graham Carroll, we were talking about this before the show from Atlanta's morning news. He is not a fan of standard time. He said the sun would set in Seattle at like 3.30 p.m. Yeah, we grew up in the north and it sets really early. It gets dark early, which it helps me. I go to bed earlier. We don't live in Seattle. So here's, it was exactly my response to Graham. I'm like, I don't live in Seattle. Here's my bigger concern over this, though. So again, Roy said it might not get through the Senate. So it's still not a thing. But I believe that what was passed yesterday in the House would leave it up to every single state. to decide whether they do permanent daylight saving time or not. That could be a nightmare. So imagine Georgia says, yes, we're going to do daylight saving time, 12 years. We're going to lock the clock.

Florida is like, no, we're good. We're going to keep it the way it is. So we're going to switch the times. North Carolina and South Carolina. They're like, no, we're good. So Georgia, it'll be an hour different from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida, our neighbors. It's already hard enough to get people on when we schedule guests that are like international. We have to figure out what time it is. And yesterday we talked to Kim. Remember about how Arizona doesn't change the clock? So if some states change it and some don't, mass confusion. Already with like eastern central mountain Pacific, it's going to be even more confusing. What is that line from ghost? Mass confusion. Dogs and cats living together. Hysteria. Mass hysteria. That's the last thing I want. I'd rather we just keep flipping than. It's just one hour. Every state. Well, Ashley, from the digital desk, like, just keep it flipping. It's one hour. Yeah, who complains. So the voice of reason. It's dark when we come in anyway. Is Ashley from the digital desk. But that would be crazy if, you know, I'm thinking of the West Coast. You have Washington, Oregon, California, not necessarily in that order. What if they all decide differently? I mean, poor Alaska, isn't it, like, either stay dark there or sunlight for months at a time and you don't hear them complaining. Yeah, I don't know. I might be on board if just let's not change anything. Forget about locking the clock. Sobo, you're going to have to deal with your dinner an hour later. Quick update, Deborah, on a theft here as temperatures. We're actually not too bad here in Metro Atlanta, but the northeast and parts of the Midwest getting hammered with heat. Someone stole some eight, not just a single HVAC, but multiple HVAC units. Well, this poor woman, she hasn't lived in this home very long and her HVAC unit was stolen. So she decided, all right, I'm going to have to just go ahead and replace it. And she did. And she went and got like the safety cages you can put around it. Okay, yeah. You can lock it and everything like that. Second time around in two months, another HVAC unit is stolen. She's got security cameras. So she basically watched it on camera. A guy pulls his car up, gets like a car jack, breaks the cage, loads up the unit and drives off. And there's really not much she can do about it. Hopefully it's covered under insurance, but she's already dropped like 20 grand just trying to get the replacement. How big were these things? It's like imagine what you have in your home. That's a big thing. It's a big unit. And the guy's got a truck. So it's, you know, it's not much for him to haul away. But having to replace two. in months during the summer when it's so hot. And she doesn't know why her house is being targeted. And she's like, what else do I do besides put a cage around it? What can you do at that point? Is it homeowners insurance cover that? It might depend on your policy. Yeah. I mean, especially if she got the first one, they're like, hey, it was unprotected. We're not covering it. But if she bought the lockbox, the cage and everything, that's crazy. I don't know. I think that's a, I want to call it a dumb criminal, but I don't know what you, I don't know. I need to know more about that. One other criminal story. This is a robbery story. You might not know, but the World Series of poker main event is going on right now. A pro poker player got robbed. Let's hear more on this story.

This poker player just got everything stolen from him at the World Series of Poker. This is Jared Greiner. He's a known player who's been around with over $3 million in total live earnings. He tweeted out that after the last event, he collected his payouts from the whole summer and drove back to his Airbnb. When he walked in, two men were waiting, tackled him to the ground, tied him up, and took his backpack with his entire role in it. It's apparently over $100,000 that was stolen. He said after about 10 minutes he was able to escape and ran to a neighbor to call 911. He says these people knew the door code to his Airbnb and video surveillance showed they arrived at the Airbnb 10 minutes before him. He said someone was likely watching him at the WSOP and knew he was on his way home with cash. He said he was not staked for the series and he had already paid out people who had small pieces of his wins before the robbery took place. The investigation is still ongoing, and obviously this is all still alleged, but definitely a brutal way to end the series. Guy gets robbed of 100 grand. It was hogtied and captured. Crazy story. Now, I've played in the World Series of Poker a number of times. Yeah, what do you do with that bankroll? So this is when I cashed in the World Series of Poker, after Vinny, after you bust out, they give you a slip and say, like, I came in. 18th in one event back in like 2007, which is my best finish ever. Like I want a sizable amount of money. So they give you the ticket and you go to the cage and they say, I'm just going to use round numbers. Let's say I won $50,000. The person at the cage gives you a number of options on how you want your money. You can get it in cash. You can get it in casino chips. You can get it in a check. Like a cashier's check? No, like a check from the casino. Okay. like from Harris to Mark Aram. Or I think the fourth option was MoneyWire. But I don't have like an offshore account in the Caymans or whatever. Right. But after, I mean, they report it to the IRS. Oh, of course. Yeah. If you win a certain amount of money, that's it. So I want a sizable amount of money a couple of times at the World Series of poker. And I was like, check. I don't want $50,000 in cash. Yeah, I wouldn't want to carry that cash. Isn't that like a thing where you can't? Remember how people were getting stuck at the airport? Well, that was one of the things, too. Plus, I didn't want it. to carry around that money and then flying back to Atlanta. So I just said, just write me a check. And maybe things have might have changed with the IRS. Maybe if they give you cash or casino chips, you might not get charged tax because I think the casino wants to give you in their chips. So then you go play roulette and everything. But never take the cash. So Vin, if you ever win the World Series of poker, take a check. Take a check.

1126 on 97 won the river. No, I'm sorry. It's the Mark Aaron Shaw, WSB. Leonard Skinner playing because Artemis Pyle turns 78 today, former drummer for... Skinner, there.

Seventh car to 404-8720750 wins that phenomenal prize pack, courtesy the Mark Aram Show at 955 WSB. This is official intro music now to the Mark Gareb Show. Oh, darling, absolutely Downton, isn't it? Our favorite Englishman, English Nick, joining us live in studio to the Downton Abbey. You were late adopter or did the Abbey? I was a late adopter. My fiancé, Kristen, turned me on to it, and then I couldn't stop watching it. A wonderful, wonderful, wonderful show. One of my favorite shows of all time. So, Nick, we were going to have you joined by a couple of Schmes balls named Woody and Cliny, but... It's the Woody and Cliny show. It's a no show. Yeah, all right. So they can pound sand because our favorite Englishmen. We might root for Argentina now. If I run into them down there at the stadium, I say, hey, Woody and Cliny, you missed a great opportunity today to be on one of the best radio shows in Atlanta, Georgia, to talk about your cancer and all that stuff. I love you. He says one of the best. You won't give me the title. You're at the same time. Look, if I said anything else, Eric von Hester would. He doesn't listen to my show. He doesn't. Not at all. Tim Andrews was a great impression of you, though. Yeah, Tim listens. But anyway, this has got to be, I mean, World Cup semi-finals, UK, Argentina, at the Atlanta Stadium, formerly known as Mercedes-Benz Stadium. How big a deal is this for your homeland? This is one of the biggest deals. You know, it's been a while since they went to the semifinal. And, um... And yeah, this is massive. And the rivalry has been going on for a long time. The Falklands War in 1982. I was going to bring up the Falklands. The Falklands War over that tiny slither of land below Africa to the left of Antarctica. And then, of course, 1986. Argentina knock out England with the hand of God. The hand of God. Or as later as Diego Maradonna said, the striker from Argentina, it really was the hand of Diego. Is this the biggest sporting event for England, for Great Britain? I mean, this is it, right? One of them. I mean, yes. Yeah. I mean, there's big sporting events. You know, when you get a big cricket final, it's massive. But as far as, yes, it's brought the country together. You've been watching. I'm sure you've seen plenty of news reports at the UK. It's mental. So this is, I mean, there's nothing really comparable. No. In United States. Because, I mean, we, we, Olympics maybe, you know, but because you have the every four years kind of thing. But I mean, if NFL teams are in a playoff, not everybody in the country is pulling for that one team, you know. So that's probably, I don't know how big. It's just like a Super Bowl. Yeah. And I, I have extreme FOMO that I haven't been able to go to a match. Yeah.

I wanted to, but the ticket prices. Speaking of the hand of God, Debra went to church and wound up getting tickets to. I heard this. That was the hand of God. It's amazing. Yeah, that was amazing. It was fantastic. I'm very happy that you got to go. Are you going to get to go, Nick? Yeah, well, so a couple weeks ago when D.R. Congo in England played, me and my fiance, I dropped some money and went because I'm like, this is a once in a lifetime. Exactly. I never in my wildest dreams thought I could attend this match today because we've all seen the resale prices. Yeah. My cousin, Ian, bless him. He calls me a couple days ago. He's like, I'm coming in. Norse Airways, the Norwegian Airway put on last-minute flights from England because they had no more Norway fans to fly around. Oh, that's right. And he goes, and by the way, I've got you in your fiancé's tickets. So we're going. The three of you? We're going. Ian is taking... Ian's taking us to the game. That's... He flew in last night. Incredible. Do you have an idea what he paid for that? I don't know. I know we're in that we're in or near the England supporters section at the end of the... Yeah, it's going to be mental. He didn't want to be around a whole gaggle of Argentinian fans. Well, because there's even security concerns that there might be... It might get heated. It might get heated. There might be some R.G bargy, as they say where I'm from. All right, so here, I mean, I just check the odds. And apparently England's pretty sizable favorite against Argentina, which I didn't expect to see. Well, I never see. As a true Englishman, I go into these things kind of like. It's wait and see. Pessimistic. Let's not get it. But I am, but Argentina haven't had the easiest road. There's been some struggles during the games where Cape Verde. Oh, I was watching that game at a bar in. Amazing. Lima, Peru. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. It really, it was so bananas because the whole bar was rooting. against them. Yeah. Against Argentina. Everyone's rooting for the underdog. You know, I live across the street from a La Fonda in Canler Park. Oh. And I went down there. Amazing paella, by the way. Yes. I went down there and gave them grief right, right after the England-Mexico match. And the guy was sitting in there with his Mexico shirt on counting his receipts for the night. He thought I wanted service and did the old hand across his neck. I'm like, no, come on England. And he laughed because they know me. But I saw one of them, the manager yesterday. I'm like, how do you feel about Argentina? He goes, We hate the Argentines. Well, it's a Cuban joy, right? Isn't that a Cuban restaurant? La Fonda? I guess. They have Cuban sandwiches. Yeah, they have Cuban sandwiches. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, well, they're all from Mexico, the guys who work there. Culture appropriation going on at La Fonda. All right, so I got to ask that. I mean, I'm going to root for you. Yeah. You're my dude, a friend of the show, friend of mine, your fiancé is beautiful. Thank you. So I am going to root for you. When England wins, I'm going to put some confidence, they're playing in the finals against Spain in New Jersey, in the Meadowlands. Are you going to talk to Ian and say, Ian, you've got to extend your stay here. Here's the thing. He has a chance to fly. So the Norse flight.

that they offered. The flight back is Thursday. You get back into England Friday. He's saying if England win today, he's jumping on the plane tomorrow because the other flight he has will be during the World Cup final on Sunday. So it's kind of a, I'm kind of tornier. I want my cousin to stay as long as he wants. Absolutely. But obviously I want England to win. So. Come on England. Ian's going to be going home early. And there you go. Is Ian an Earl or a Duke? No, no. Is he nobility? No, no. He's worked hard all of his life. He inherited some money when my late aunt passed away last year. So he told me it's ski money, spending his kid's inheritance. Ski. We just talked about that. Ski-I. The boomer is passing money down. Oh, yeah. Ben your kids's inheritance. Oh, okay, not like for his kids. Like his kids won't have this money. Oh, good for Ian. Yeah, Yolo. I said, Ian, you're your kids, my cousins, they're smart. You'll be right. Well, I'm wishing the best of luck. Thank you. You got to get down there soon. What are you doing? Oh, we're good. We're good. For the magic of radio, I'll be there sooner rather than later. Will you be on social media posting stuff? A little bit here and there. Tell the folks where to follow you. Yeah. Oh, English Nick 67. At English Nick 67 on the Instagram is of my favorite one. And I'm predicting 2.1 England. I've heard that all day. 2.1. 2.1. It's coming home. It's coming home. English Nick hosts one of the top 100 Atlanta radio shows. You're not wrong about that. He's one of the top 100 radio hosts in Atlanta. You can hear him on 97 on the River. He makes appearances with our buddy EVH. And I'm very happy for you, man. I'm very happy for you. Hey, Mark, always a pleasure to be here. Thank you, Deborah, for making this happen. And come on, England! And no brawling. No brawling, no thuggery, no hudiganism. Come on, let's be, let's have, you know. You see the players and the managers, they hug after a match. Exactly. So we can do. Exactly. I don't want you to call Debra to bill you out of the Atlanta, the Fulton County lock up. Good luck, Nick. Thanks, guys. This is kind of like a soccer anthem. 1153 on the Mark Aram Show. Happy 74th birthday, Marky Ramon. drummer for their moans, one of Deborah's favorite bands. Welcome back to the Mark Arab show. We've been hyper-focused on the Todd Blanche confirmation hearing going on right now in the Senate. But there are other hearings going on. The DNI nominee Jay Clayton, he was just being peppered with questions by Senator Jon Ossoff. Let's listen in. This was just moments ago. Who won the 2020 election? You know, I'm not, I'm not going to do this with you. This is a job interview. We've established that you have an obligation to be honest and forthright with the committee. Yes, you do have an obligation to be honest and forthright with the committee. Yes. Who won the 2020 election? Like I said, I'm not, I'm not going to get into that with you. But you do have an obligation to be honest and forthright with the committee.

Is anything that I just said, not honest or forthright? Yes, you're not being honest or forthright. Who won the 2020 election? I think I've answered the question. We can keep doing this. Well, we're going to keep doing it because you're not being honest and forthright with the committee. I'm not going to engage in the theater. It's a simple question, Mr. Jay Clayton. And I've answered. Who won the 2020 presidential election? I've answered it. You're here asking for the support of senators to lead America's intelligence community. We've established that you have an obligation to be honest and forthright with this committee and with the American public, but you refuse to answer a simple matter of fact about the 2020 election. Is that right? No, that's not right. Then answer the question. Who won the 2020 election? I have answered the question. Answer it. What is your answer? I've given you my answer. What is your answer? You refuse to answer a basic question about who won a presidential election, but you asked to lead America's intelligence community? Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this question, to have to indulge the president's delusions? We know, you know, everybody in this room knows the truthful answer to that question. Why can you not give it? I think I gave you the answer. Are you aware? that Director Tulsi Gabbard was present at the Fulton County. All right, so that was Senator Jon Ossoff moments ago with Jay Clayton, Jay Clayton, Jay Clayton, the Trump nominee for the DNI replacing Tulsi Gabbard. I don't know why he didn't do the road answer that we've been hearing from federal judges. The answer, because Democratic Senators have been asking this question, the answer that has been given by everyone is like that the Congress. certified the election for Joe Biden. Like they won't say that Joe Biden won, but the wrote answer had been, well, the Congress certified the election results and declared, I don't understand why Mr. Jay Clayton just didn't give that answer instead of saying I am not going to answer that question or the answer he gave. I don't know. But a lot of big hearings going on right now on Capitol Hill updates, obviously throughout the day on 95-5. WSV. Now you know, because of the Mark Aram Show. When it comes to the actual vote itself, you can only lose two Republican votes, and there are at least four Republicans we've heard from who breeds skepticism. with his confirmation as Attorney General. Peter Haralambos, joined us from New York City, previewing the ongoing hearing to confirm Todd Blanche to become the new Attorney General updates on that story throughout the day here on 95-5.WSV. Now you know. Brian Kemp has a lot on the line in terms of his legacy in seeing a Republican succeed him, right? There's been a ton of massive gains. Governor Brian Kemp has done a tremendous job over the last eight years in terms of job creation tax cuts.

All of that's on the line for him. Political analyst Stephen Lawson, aka Sea Island Stephen, joined us live in studio, breaking down all things Georgia politics. Now you know... Well, U.S. Central Command has just finished a third round of strikes in the last 24 hours, really. This was a 90-minute wave. The first daytime attack in Iran, we've seen... since really the opening days of this conflict. Shannon Kingston from ABC joined us from the State Department with the ongoing re-escalation of the Iran War. Now you know because of the Mark Aram show. And now, are you guys ready for the Mark Aram star of the show? Tell you who's not winning it. Woody and Kleining. Hmm. I'm actually, I'm blaming Chris Crawford. Chris Crawford's like, oh, you got to have these guys on. So if Chris Crawford has previously wanted a star of the show, maybe for a certain sweater he wore, he's losing it. Chris Crawford is losing a star of the show. I will give Star of the show to English Nick, right? Got to do English Nick. Stephen Lawson, great stuff from him. He'll get a star of the show. And Deborah. Vinnie and I screwed up, but Deborah, you're flawless, as always. All right, World Cup traffic. Make sure you're listening. I'll be active on social at Mark Aram, M-A-R-K-A-R-U-M-O, Treehouse Animal Clinic, gets a start of the show, too, for taking such good care of Soba. Back to the social media is at Mark Aram. Stay safe. Have a great Wednesday, Atlanta. I'd rather live in his world.
