• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Welcome to a meeting of the minds crafted from decades
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: of talk show experience, an extension of the magic they've
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: created together on radio in the phenomenon called M and
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: M Hot, Topics in the News and wisdom from LFE.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It's Mark Davis and Mike Gallagher. This is eminem Extra.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Happy fourth of July, almost Happy two hundred and fiftieth. Now,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: what a year we've had Hot twenty twenty six and
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: every single day we get the joy of bringing you
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: the M and M Extra podcast. And we made a
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: mistake because Mark Davis and I get to take some
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: days off. He's had a few days off this week.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I'll have a few days off next week. And we
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: made a decision early on when we launched the podcast,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: if one or the other is off, let's just not
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: do a podcast. Well, that doesn't stand for our new
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: podcast audience. You're enjoying it, you're getting your daily fix.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: You're listening on Apple or Spotify or wherever you get
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: your podcast. You're watching on the YouTube channel, and we
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: hope you do subscribe and set up the notifications on YouTube.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: So we've decided that we will go solo when the
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: other one is off we'll have we'll each have things
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: to say. It's not the same dynamic or even magic
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: of eminem. So you're gonna get em without the and M.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: But on this Friday, the day before the fourth of July,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I wanted to be here with you today with the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: very special patriotic version of the Eminem Extra. Now there
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: has been I see online and all over and our
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: partners at Americans for Prosperity an effort to get Americans
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: to read the Declaration of Independence. This is something that
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: far too few Americans know the words to, and I
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: thought it might be kind of a neat way to
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: spend And this is a holiday Friday today is a
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: holiday in most places, in most companies, and of course
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: the federal holiday, and it's a national holiday honoring the
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: fourth of July. So on this holiday, on the eve
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: of the actual fourth of July, with all these efforts
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: from our friends and Americans for Prosperity and online a
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: lot of conservative sites, to actually know what the declaration says.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And it only takes a few minutes to read it, eight, ten,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: twelve minutes maybe, So you know what we did, We're
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: gonna do on today's M and M extra with yours
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: truly the mic from the m part. I'm just going
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: to read the Declaration of Independence, and I hope you
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: settle in and enjoy it, absorb it. Understand that these
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: founding fathers knew that if this experiment called the United
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: States of America didn't work, they were going to be killed.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: They put their lives on the line for our country.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: We often talk about America's heroes, but we don't talk
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: about the heroes of America enough. The left wants to
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: villainize those heroes. The left wants to demonize them. They're
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: a bunch of rabid, racist slaveholders. They're monsters, gross men
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: in powdered wigs. They had more courage in their pinky
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: than any of these leftist pink os could ever have
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: in their lifetime, in their miserable, wretched lives. And so,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: in honor of the founders, and in honor of America
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and our Fourth of July holiday and the two hundred
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: and fiftieth, I want to read to you reward of
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: our Declaration of Independence. Before we dive into that, let
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: me take just a moment to thank our very first
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: official sponsor of the eminem Extra podcast. That's PhD Weight
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Loss and Attrition. Let me tell you a quick funny story.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Not funny, it is funny kind of in a way.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I was worried at the weight loss that I've recently
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: had as a result of doing the PhD program. You see,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: when you're on the PhD program, you're on PhD weight
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: loss for life, right. You know what to do. And
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: like many I strayed the last few months. I've gotten
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: sloppy and lazy and I haven't really followed it much
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: and I put on too much weight. So I need
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: to take it back off again. And I know how
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: to do it. I get back up on the horse
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the PhD. I get in the PhD saddle, and I
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: begin to kind of begin and new, even though it's
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: not really new, but you know what I mean. Well,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: in seven days this past week, I lost ten point
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: five pounds, no kidding, I was never hungry. I do
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: exactly what I know to do, and the weight comes
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: pouring off. It really works. It's a it's a remarkable program.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: It's called PhD Weight Loss. And for a limited time
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: they'll add two free weeks to the program and they'll
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: even include the cost of your food. That's a fifteen
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars value. So why don't you rededicate yourself as
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: we're about to read the Declaration of independence, declare that
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: you're gonna get healthier. You're gonna let go of those
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: unwanted pounds. You're gonna embrace the PhD way like I did.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: And I'm not kidding you. I don't know if you
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: could tell the way you see me today. But since
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: last Thursday, ten point five pounds less, few more to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: go and I'll be right back where I need to
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: be thanks to PhD weight Loss. Make that life changing
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: call eight sixty four six four four nineteen hundred eight
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: sixty four six four four nineteen hundred or visit my
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: phdweight loss dot com. Okay again, honor a fourth of July.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: In July, here we go our declaration of Independence. When
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: them with another, and to assume among the powers of
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the earth the separate and equal station to which the
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: laws of nature and of Nature's God entitle them. A
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: We hold these truths to be self evident, that all
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: men are created equal, that they are endowed by their
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: of the people to alter or to abolish it, and
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: and organizing its powers in such form as to them
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Prudence indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: be changed for light and transient causes. And according to
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: to suffer while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: by abolishing the forms to which they are customed. But
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: absolute despotism, it is their right. It is their duty
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: to throw off such government, and to provide new guards
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: of these colonies, and such is now the necessity which
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: history of the present King of Great Britain is a
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: and necessary for the public good. He has forgiven, forbidden
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: rather his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: to them. He has refused to pass other laws for
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: distant from the depository of their public records for the
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly for opposing with manly
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: has refused, for a long time, after such dissolutions to
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: cause others to be elected, whereby the legislative powers incapable
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: of annihilation have returned to the people at large for
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: their exercise. The state remaining in the meantime exposed to
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: all the dangers of invasions from without and convulsions within,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: he has endeavored to prevent the population of these states
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: for that purpose, obstructing the laws for naturalization of foreigners,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. He has
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: laws for establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: on his will alone for the tenure of their offices
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: armies without the consent of our legislatures. He has effected
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: to render the military independent of and superior to, the
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: civil power. He has combined with others to subject us
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: our laws, giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us, for
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: protecting them by a mock trial from punishment for any
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: for imposing taxes on us without our consent, for depriving us,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: for transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: For abolishing the free system of English laws and a
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: so as to render it once an example and fit instrument,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies. For
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: altering fundamentally the forms of our governments for suspending our
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: own legislatures and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated government
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: here by declaring us out of his protection and waging
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: war against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy, perfidy scarcely
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow citizens,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: taken captive on the high seas, to bear arms against
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: or to fall themselves by their hands. He has excited
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whose
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: and conditions in every state of these oppressions, we have
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: petition for redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: whose character is thus marked by every act which may
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: a free people. Nor have we been wanting in attentions
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: to our British brethren. We have warned them from time
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We've reminded them of the circumstances
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: have been deaf to the voice of justice. We must
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: therefore acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation, and
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: hold them as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: in war in peace. Friends. We therefore, the Representatives of
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: the United States of America in General Congress assembled, appealing
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: to the Supreme Judge of the world, for the rectitude
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: of our intentions, due in the name and by authority
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: declare that these United Colonies are and of right ought
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: to be free and independent states. That they are absolved
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: political connection between them and the State of Great Britain
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: is and ought to be totally dissolved. And that as
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: free in independent states, they have full power to levy war,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: other acts and things which independent states may of right do.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: And for the support of this declaration, with a firm
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: reliance on the protection of Divine providence, we mutually pledge
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: I think it's meaningful to listen in entirety to the
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Declaration of Independence like that, and I'm very honored and
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: pleased and proud to be able to do it for you.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: On this second, on this third of July, the eve
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: of the fourth of July, May you and your family
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: be blessed with a happy, healthy, prosperous fourth of July,
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: enjoy each other, enjoy this country, and never forget that
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: God is in control. Happy two hundred and fiftieth from
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: all of us. At M and M Extra for full shows,
• 16:14
