M and M EXTRA 7.10.26 | Might Platner stay in? And bleeps or no bleeps? · The M&M Experience

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome to a meeting of the minds crafted from decades
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of talk show experience, an extension of the magic they've
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: created together on radio in the phenomenon called M and M,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Hot Topics in the News, and Wisdom from Light. It's
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Mark Davis and Mike Gallagher. This is eminem Extra.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Wrapping up Mike Gallagher's two day work week. Aren't you
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: just exhausted?
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Are you jealous? You're jealous?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I am, I am, but we're ready for the weekend
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: and ready to plug into life and get your plug.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: What are your weekend plans?
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: What do you know? What do you do? It is
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: weird to have to take the three day staycation that
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: you and I talked about. That I had Monday, Tuesday,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Wednesday work two days and now back back to weekend again.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I'm like almost in weekend modent. You know what I
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: did last night? I'm so embarrassed. Admit this. I watched
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the Thursday episode of eminem Extra at home on my TV.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Now I admit I got a big screen TV. You're
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: a spoiler alert. You and I don't look good on
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: an eighty five TV.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Are dinosaurs sized heads floating in space as you watch it?
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: On your theater second team. We could land an air
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: we could put an aircraft carrier on your forehead or mine.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: I mean no, it's but it was kind of fun
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: because I got to see what the look. We're kind
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: of new to this podcast space, and we're loving it.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: I teased this morning that you go blue on this
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: thing all the time. So if anybody's tuning in to
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: hear more than was that about? My own text line
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: lit up?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: It's like, oh, Mark, Well, wasn't aware that you guys
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: were going to be dropping f moms. I said, I
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: hesitate to even well finish your sentence, and then I
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: have a thought about.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Well, I obviously made it up. I just wanted to
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: get people to go to the podcast because there probably
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: has been a borderline. There might be a damn throat.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, for well, we say nice effect, but we
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: said wish we've said bullshit before we said that. Well
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: we have now well, and I just I know, oh god,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: we're on a podcast. It's okay, Mark, don't get upset. No,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I'm not upset. Don't be fragile.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: And everybody has to know that in real private, out
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: there off air life, if I stub my toe on
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the coffee table.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Get ready, it's coming.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: But in this environment with I don't know what the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: overlap is between our radio audiences, where we observe a
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: pretty tight set of decorum. In this it's not like
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and here's the little story I was going to tell.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Remember when Howard Stern it breaks my heart a little
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: bit because this is a genius broadcaster of such long standing,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and he is but a sad shell of what kind
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: of entertainer he used to be. The show is still
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: pretty good on interviews, but basically I haven't listened attentively
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: in years. When he went from terrestrial radio onto satellite radio.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: No more FCC, no more this, no more that he
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and Robin and the whole gang said. If everybody's thinking
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: that all we're gonna do is just drop f bombs
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: all the time, that's not the point. That's not the case.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, if it occurs to us, we will et cetera,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: et cetera. I'm I'm I'm not there, I'm not observed.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: That that's I will still if we I mean, even
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: when you threw down the BS A moment ago, I
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: thought about some some you know lady in Tarpain Springs
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: who's been listening to us for thirty years. It just
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: doesn't want us to do it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Well, let's get into the dynamic of this for a moment,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: because you're right, we want our radio audiences to come
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: over to us, and for many of folks who are
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: with us like right now, this is a relatively new
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: platform for them too. That's why a lot of people
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: were found the way commercials get inserted kind of jarring
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: because we don't do it that way the radio show,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: and on podcasts, they just get inserted. Every podcast does
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: it that way. That's the way all podcasts are, and
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the bigger they are, and the more people that are
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: listening or watching, the more ads there is going to be.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: We're not exactly doing this, you know, Salvation Army. Yeah,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: we're we have Mother Teresa where we're doing this for
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: a reason. We want to entertain and inform insured that
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: we want the company to make some money in the process.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: But I also love the idea and first of all,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: if this thing does take off the way we hope
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: it will, a lot of the people who are going
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: to take part in the M and M Extra podcast
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: are not daily purveyors of either of our shows. It's
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: a different audience. The digital audience is different. This is
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: one of those big challenges that the broadcast industry has faced.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: You know, people kind of assume a lot of broadcasters,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: a lot of executives, say, oh, we're going to take
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: the radio magic and we're going to turn it into
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: a podcast or digital. It's not. It's not the same audience.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Often it's there's no there's some crossover, but not a
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: lot of If this thing is going to take off,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: there'll be a bunch of people who we hope will
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: take will enjoy the M and M extra as much
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: as early, which I would dream of.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to the notion of the notion of
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: a hearing from somebody who has, you know, stumbled across this.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: And they say to us, oh, you guys have radio
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: shows too, Yeah, exactly, that's that's well, that's and that's
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: what I think. That's already beginning to happen. I've gotten
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: a couple of emails to that effect. But I also
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: hope that the podcast is a place mark where we
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: can kind of be freer and let our hair down
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: a little bit and be more like there's no time constraints,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: you know, we want to go thirty minutes one day
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: like today, probably we'll go forty five. Tomorrow we'll go
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: and who knows what time will go? Uh and and yeah,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I think we ought to be a little more free
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: than we would be on a terrestrial radio show.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Correct, And I mean, and it's funny, and there would
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: be nothing gratuitous and et cetera, et cetera. But it
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: might be a little more here's that word, to get
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: a little more authentic, little more real. I know that
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: it's not the same constraint. Here, here's an advanced clue
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: of something I'm going to do that is indicative of
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: what you're describing. It might take me a couple of weeks,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: but somewhere, probably before this month is over, we're going
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: to devote a couple of minutes at least to a series,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: a TV series that Lisa and I are consuming that
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I would never mention on the radio and will not
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: mention on the radio show. What really, because you and
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I have because there's some content in there, and because
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: you're from the Americans to I don't know what else.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Various other you and I have talked about the occasions
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: on which you and I have shared a TV series
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: that we really really liked, right, and it happened to
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: have some sexual content or some language or something, and
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: everybody has totally different I don't need an enormous amount
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: of gratuitous content, but if a show is really really awesome,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I mean Sopranos, hello, I just mentioned The Americans, a
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: magnificent mini series with a series with Matthew Reese and
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Carry Russell from a few years back. If there's some
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: sex and violent content in there, I'm not gonna go
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and turn it off other people will. I understand and
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: respect everybody's taste in everybody's standards. There have been some
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: times when I think you and I have, either on
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: our own shows or to each other, talked about a
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: show and we'll hear back and it'll be yeah, Mike, uh,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I'll watch that show you told me was so great.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I thought you like Jesus. It's like, oh, yeah, I knew,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: So what's the show? Cut to the chase, what's the show?
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: You can tell us what the show is.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: News.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: So you're not gonna talk about the show, or you are?
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: You talk about the show as soon as we're as
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: soon as we're done. And we got some seasons here, man,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: it was not it was not one season. So so so,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: since this has come up, I'm just describing to you
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: that at some point here a couple of weeks, I
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: will have a full reveal. It'll be about the show,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: also kind of about the content and the degree and
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: sort of the pervasiveness of certain types of content and
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: what it says about society. But I know I'm being
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: totally vague, but it's just to tell you that's coming,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: and I'll give you heads up. Okay, that is all right?
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean and and here's a clip that comes
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: to mind that I want to play for you, a
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: montage that Graby and our friends a Graby and put
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: together showing all of the Democrats defending the Nazi tattoo
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: wearing rape acused demon named Graham Platner. But here's a
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: great example. I'm just thinking about this, yasmin our video
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: producer had to obviously bleep out all the curse words
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: for my show today. Well what did the what did
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: the videos contend? What were they? Cursewords? Were they? James
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: Carville letting the fly and all these democrats let me
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: loose with a bunch of exploitives and obviously we have
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: to bleep that because of FCC rules. Well, of course
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: there are no FCC rules for a podcast. We go,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: we could play this clip bleep free.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: And now we and and and I and we shouldn't
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: because because I bet hell, yes trying, man, I'm trying.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Give me a good cause, give me a curse word.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: I understand, I have the logic of bleeping is very sound,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: both in obviously for broadcast regulations and FCC et cetera,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: but just for decorum, et cetera, et cetera. But in
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: the case of Carville, who's been a figure of political
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: consequence for decades and who also at the moment is
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: just losing his cotton picking mind right in front of
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: our faces kind of if listen, here's what he said.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Here it is. I think there's some here's the word again,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: some authenticity to that. So you're okay. So because because
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: the flip side of that is bearing in mind that
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: we've invited people over from our radio shows who are
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: used to our sensibility. Yes, ready, kids, get ready, you're
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: okay we should play an unedited clip.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: You don't think we should be with us even with
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the standard that I've just described for myself. When you're
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: talking about here's what some bleeps kind of annoy me
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: in a way. Sometimes it's like, I'm a grown up.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I know what he said. If he said it, let
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: him say it. And I know that the radio rules
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: are different. But here, if this is what folks say,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: we are purveyors and distributors of stuff folks say.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: So well, let's take a vote. You know, we got
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: a bunch of people already commenting on the live chat
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: on YouTube. Incidentally, Yeah, I want to take a vote.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: I want to take a No, I know, I know, Yasmin,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not worried about that. I'm just saying that we're
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: not going to play the unedited clip. We're gonna play
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: the edited clip. Mad Mike incidentally made a comment on
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: the chat room. I'm one of the new crossovers. I
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: found you on YouTube, so we already see we've already
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: got people event is it? So? Really? Then you had
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: no idea that either of us had a radio show
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: just on you. Who are these guys? I know? Why
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: to fantastic? So in the live chat room, with that
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: in mind, I am really interested in your answer on this.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: So let me let me take a I want to
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: put this to a vote, and look, we're gonna still
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: decide what we're gonna do. I think that that well, Mark,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: there's an argument to be made, let's not offend our
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: audience with f words. And I get that, of course,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: not that that's why I probably will never even if
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: it's even if it's James Carville. Let's not offense. It
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: takes nothing to bleep the word out. And so my
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: question to this audience, and just see what people think
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: on your and your Your instincts are probably right, but
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: let's at least ask our audience. Right now on YouTube
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: watching us live, there's a live chat, tell us your vote.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Do you want to hear like this clip? I want
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: to play for Mark, and I want you to hear
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: and see this clip of the montage of because it's amazing.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Because the astounding part of this is even when they
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: were saying all these enthusiastic supportive things of Graham Platiner,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: they knew, they knew Mark, they knew who he is,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: they knew what he had done, they knew about the
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: accusations of physical assault against his ex girlfriend. They knew,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: and they supported him anyway. So I want to play
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: a beautiful montage. It's a few minutes long, but it's
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: worth every delicious second. But I'll throw it open to
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: the to the to the live chat audience right now
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: on YouTube. Do you want clips bleeped? Or do you
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: want them? Do you want them going forward? Not today,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: but going forward? When we have a clip like the
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: one I'm about to play that has F bombs and
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: S words and all that in there, do you want
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: that it edited out the way we do for our
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: talk shows or do you think it ought to be
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: raw and real and as Mark put it, authentic bleeps
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: or auto podcasts? Your thing is bleeps or no bleeps.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: And now here's the thing.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: All I'm thinking about is Yasmin god lover like she's
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: not working hard enough. Does this mean she's got if
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: you had a three minute montage or something, she's got
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: to go make another one and take the bleeps out?
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean it's it's well, it's easier for her.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: She'll have version. Well, no, she's only got to do
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: it one time. She's already. I don't think she's got
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: to do it twice. I mean, she's got the raw version,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: then she's got to do the edits all right, And incidentally,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: so far, it looks like most of the voters are saying,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: please don't play the curse words on your party again.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: We're growing ups here for crying out loud. No, please
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: don't play the cursewords. They're saying, Oh yeah, most people
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: are playing. What he says, that life is profane enough.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: There's enough obscenity out there in the Yeah, that's what
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking. And even on our platform here, I don't know.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Jim says, don't bleep, Allan says, don't bleep. Jennifer unedited
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: from Nature play and we're adults, Bobby let it fly,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: uh GMC, I don't care if there's cussing or not.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I'm an adult, Melissa, right, Melissa writes raw and real.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Please all right? So this is this is real, maybe
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: not quite as raw as it he was originally, but
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: I want to protect you today.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Today we're going to protect your virgin ears from James
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Carvill's rating.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: I honestly don't know where Democrats go from here with this.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: They are as such a mess. Check out this montage
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: courtesy of Grabian of all the top Democrats and pay
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: attention to who they are too, These are not just
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: you know, people in their mom's basement, you know, tweeting
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: stuff out. These are prominent, established political and media figures
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: desperately defending the Nazi adorned rape accused Graham Plattner.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: The obsession with personal purity. We're not hiring a priest,
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: We're hiring a senator. We're going to talk about in
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: tattoos and Sexton.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: He gets a hall pass. I don't give us if
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: somebody had a toxic relationship.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: Toxic relationships and tattoos and all of.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: The talk about Susan Collins.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: He could be one hundred times more than he is.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: He'd up is what we got in Washington now. Anyway,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: what I'm more outraged about, it's stupid choosing college. I
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: asked all of you to consider the candidacy a grand Blatiner.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: I asked all of you to understand his flowers.
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: Are you rescending your support for grand Platiner after the
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: leude posts that league?
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: What's appalling you mean?
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Right now?
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: I don't get bothered by it as much, None of it.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: He's someone who had a drinking problem as a marine.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Platter has owned up to mistakes he made as a
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: younger guy, do I want to make the best the
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: enemy of the good. Grand Plantner is popular even though faw.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: He is a flawed man, just like I'm a flawed man.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: And this is the key. Everybody is flawed at some level.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: No one's perfect. All politicians have baggage. This just happens
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: to be a candidate that has baggage.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: He's got an antidemtic tattoo. I feel like this president
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: to say, I think black noble.
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: I like Bram Platinue, You like Bramlatine.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: That's my kind of man. I would vote for Platiner.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Let's get some power.
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: Let's take over the Senate.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Let's take over the house.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Somebody that has put his life on the line for
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: this country against somebody that is literally empowering the moral
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: hollowing out of our nation.
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: He had had two tours of duty in Iraq. He
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: came back broken in a dark place. He took accountability.
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: He acknowledges that he was misogynistic, was toxic, toxicity, and
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: there was a verbal intimidation, which I condemn. It happened
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: in a dark period of his life. He's taken accountability.
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: He's starting an oyster farm. He was on the ocean
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: for years. He found himself. Look, let's give him some grace.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: He went into combat on behappy, unized days. He went
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: through a really rough period. Yeah, PTSD type period. Graham
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: clearly made a.
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: Mistake, and I've been on CNN saying that what I
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: appreciated about him is he owned that mistake. You know
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: what is disqualifying as having a senator in Maine who
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: just does Donald Trump's bidding.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: This is a guy who has served this country, who
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: has gone through some.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Really tough things.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: If this is going to be a character election in Maine,
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: there is a question of character in continuing to support
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: a present events that is terrorizing immigrants. I'm going to
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: do everything I can to make sure that Grand Platner
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: is the next Senator from the state of Maine.
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: You know, all those Bible clutching Christians voted for the
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: guy who we all heard boast about sexual assault. Democrats
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: have to take over the Senate, they have to take
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: over the House. If I lived in Maine, I would
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: hold my nose and I would tip the last lever,
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: and I would vote for him.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: Maybe we should be focusing on the important issues facing
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: working people throughout this country, not focusing on this marriage.
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: It doesn't matter because he's right about what's wrong.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Sometimes you make alliances that you would not have made
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: under a different status circumstances. Franklin rose out Western Churchia,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: who did they work with well, Joseph his imperfections and
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: imperfections that we can all identify with.
• 17:47
  Speaker 9: It's not going to sit here and judge mainers who
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: wants you to push away, push against the status quo.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: It's not my place to judge. If grand Platter can
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: earn their trust, and he earns their trust.
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: He thinks he's a changed person, a transformed person.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: I believe in Green Platter is no nunity. I don't
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: think that he's a racist in anyway.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: His relationship with his wife is his relationship with his wife.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: It's all about you know, leate, consensual, you know stuff.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: The accusations against Graham Platner are not classic me too accusations,
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: not like classic abuse allegations. Of course, in the Access
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: Hollywood tape, President Trump bragged about grabbing women against their will.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Gender related accusations get bundled together, but they're actually very.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: En Wow is that and the look the Hall of
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Fame quote came from Rocanna, Well, he was out on
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: the ocean for you exactly what out on the ocean.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: So you're bombing around to the ocean. You say, Now,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: when I get back, I'm going to rape a couple
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: of women's. I think I'll beat up some women. I've
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: been out on the ocean, the congressman Rocanna, I've been
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: out on the ocean.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: What the heck?
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: I mean? These men? Now? How does Rocanna explain him?
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: How does Elizabeth Warren come back from this? And the
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: stupid part is Mark, you know they will and I've
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: heard them try. And here's what it kind of sounds like.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: He says.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: There was something that they say, there was something magical,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: there was something impactful about the second lady, Jenny Rossico
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: than that. Because Lindsay Firefield a conservative, apparently she's abusable,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: that didn't raise to the level of where they go, hey,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: what's going on here?
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: But let Jenny ros she's a Republicans. Lindsay Fifield is
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: first loser. Firefield is the republic That's why I guess
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: she's survivable, right, she doesn't. Her assault doesn't matter. That
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: democratic a.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Glib assessment, and it may well be may well be accurate.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: But this second lead had there was a lot more,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: a lot more impact to that. I mean, this was
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: one those five years ago. There's the one that Politico
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: looked at in some detailing and a lot of them said, well,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: this one puts this one meets the bar, this one
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: crosses the red line. But you know that what the
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: line that really got crossed was Platner's questionable poll numbers.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: They no longer thought that he.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: That's all it was. But I've got the bigger I
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: think the most important question right now is whether he
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: gets charged with rape. Rape is rape mark. Of course
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: he's not gonna He's not gonna get charged with anything.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: How can that be? How can you have a credible
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: accuser within the statute of limited Well, I think I
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: know why, and I'm going to play it for you
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: in just a moment. But first, let me remind you
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: that today's eminem Extra sponsored in part by our friends
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: at PhD Weight Loss, PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition. My
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: friend doctor Ashley Lucas, I shared that I got sloppy
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: or look, I lost over fifty pounds a few years
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: ago and I've managed to keep it off until I
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: get stupid, until I go dumb, and I go blow it,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: and I go eat stupid stuff, and I just it's
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: just dumb. The last few months, I've just kind of
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: been an idiot when it comes to my my food,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: and I needed to take some of the weight back.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Ten and a half pounds I lost in one week. Now,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: I know a lot of that's water weight. But the
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: point is, I'll take ten and a half pounds all
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: day long. I'll take fifty three pounds, which is what
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: I lost originally. I'm back to where I need to be.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: It works. It's an amazing program that's taking America by storm.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: It's called PhD Weight Loss. I met doctor Ashley Lucas
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: a few years ago. She changed my life. You know,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: I've had all a bunch of my friends who've lost
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: weight this way. Look, the truth is you could be
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: stuck on a needle in your belly forever, or pills.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of drugs out there right now, but
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: you do understand that once you stop taking them, the
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: weight comes roaring back. This is a lifestyle, this is
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: a way to live your life. You're completely satisfied, you're
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: not hungry. You can use their food, you can use
• 21:46

  Speaker 3: age sixty four sixty four four nineteen hundred, or visit
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: my phdweight loss dot com myphdweight loss dot com. Mark
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Scott Jennings had.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: When you had asked me a question that I was
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: actually going to answer, maybe you do that is okay, okay,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: because you had said, if indeed these rape allegations are
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: hanging in the wind about about a grand Platner, why
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: you know, will will he be charged? Why in the
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: world has it he been charged? And I instantly kind
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: of reflexively said he's not gonna be charged. Then I thought, WHOA,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: why do I feel that way? I think it's by
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: the way, it doesn't mean that I don't believe the accusers.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I don't disbelieve the accusers. I just have no idea.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I think the thing that occurs to me and Tommy,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: if you agree, is if they were going to charge
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: him with rape, they would have done it by now
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: that that they made a conscious choice. There's nothing magical,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: there's nothing unique about this particular timeframe except the impending
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: election that makes everybody want to talk about this so
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: very very much as accusations go. So either they don't
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: want to undergo the scrutiny that will naturally come from
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: being an accuser, they don't want to go dragging through
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: a trial, which I can absolutely understand. So that's kind
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: of why I have zero expectation that there will be
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: any legal accusation, any legal charge of any kind.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Well to that point, perhaps the explanation comes from the
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: editor at the Main Wire. The Main Wire has been
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: doing a lot of great work covering this whole scandal,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: and John Featherstone, the editor at the Main Wire, gave
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: perhaps an explanation to Scott Jennings, our friend and colleague,
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: about why he may not be charged.
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: Graham Platner the ahead of vote, he won most of
• 23:53
  Speaker 10: the votes, he had the nomination, but now he is
• 23:55
  Speaker 10: saying that he is suspending his campaign amid new allegations
• 23:59
  Speaker 10: that broke into a woman's house and.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Raped her, although he says.
• 24:03
  Speaker 10: He denies that and that it was totally fabricated, that
• 24:07
  Speaker 10: this never happened. Joining us from the ground in Maine
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: to discuss all of this, the Great John Featherston from
• 24:13
  Speaker 10: the main Wire, John, Welcome back to the Scott Jennings Show.
• 24:17
  Speaker 10: A pretty dramatic turn of events, these allegations of rape
• 24:20
  Speaker 10: against Graham Plattner, and then last night he puts out
• 24:23
  Speaker 10: this video eleven excruciating minutes.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: He looked like he was.
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: Seething with anger. To me, it was not conciliatory. He
• 24:33
  Speaker 10: admitted nothing. He said it was totally false, and in
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: fact he insinuated that or more that he was being
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: framed by the Democratic establishment. I guess for being too progressive.
• 24:44
  Speaker 10: You've been covering Platner and following this story as closely
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: as anyone. What do you make of all this? And
• 24:49
  Speaker 10: let me ask this question on top of it. He
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: said he is suspending his campaign, but is at this moment.
• 24:55
  Speaker 10: I don't think he's actually formally dropped out, Is that right?
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: Well, Scott, always a pleasure to join you. Thanks for
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: having me. Yeah, I mean, here's the bottom line. He
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: said he's spending his campaign, which is kind of cryptic
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: to me. When he said that in an eleven minute
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: video where he plays the victim and doesn't apologize for anything,
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: I thought he came across as very disingenuous. But he
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: has until Monday at five o'clock to officially file the
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: paperwork to get off of the ballot. So I'm kind
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: of looking at it as I don't believe any of
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: this until he officially submits that paperwork to the Secretary
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: of State's office by Monday, So it's going to be
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: fascinating to watch. But watching him in that video, that
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: what you saw in that video is what I saw
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: the last eight months of covering his campaign. He is
• 25:44
  Speaker 8: a great stage actor. He's very you know, he should
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: go into theater. He'd probably make a lot of money
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: because that's what he is. He's very theatrical and he's
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: an actor. But him playing the victim last night here,
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: and you know, that was pathetic to watch as a
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: guy that you know, he he ran as the tough,
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: macho man and now he's sitting on his back deck,
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: you know, like Oh poor me. Look at what the
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: you know, the Democrats are doing to me. Well, you know,
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: you are part of the Democrat machine. And I don't
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: think there's too many people in the state of Maine
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: right now they feel sorry for you, Graham. But I
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: know I've talked to a lot of people this morning
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: that they're angry about this video.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the video is.
• 26:25
  Speaker 10: I watched it all last night and just sort of
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: marveling at his complete and total lack of conciliatory attitude
• 26:37
  Speaker 10: at all. I mean, he he is saying he's suspending
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: his campaign, which I assume means he will drop out,
• 26:42
  Speaker 10: although as you point out, he hasn't done it yet.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry and unfortunately, and that's my bad on editing,
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: because he went on to say in the interview, and
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: that was the point I wanted to get to that
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: there are multiple sources who claim there have been interactions
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: between the main attorney, Jenneral and Platner, which means, what
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: suggests that a deal was struck that you step down,
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: you get out of this race, and we won't charge
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: you with rape. Now, if that's true, Mark, that is
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: first of all, inconceivably evil. Did the rape occur or
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: didn't it shouldn't a jury be charged with deciding that
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: this woman And to your point about why they haven't already, Well,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: this is a relatively new accusation from the second accuser
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: or the third or whatever she is. She's she came
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: out of the woodwork a week ago, right or two
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: weeks ago. It hasn't been that long. I'm talking about
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: the Democrat who said, who claims that he raped her?
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: They broke in that to her? When? Well, what you
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: mean when was the rape? Yes, a few years ago, that's.
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: What I mean.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Well, but if she hasn't made the accusation till now,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: they can't prosecute him or to charge him. Let they
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: listen about it.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: So for some reason, this makes me a little crazy, ladies,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: And I understand, I'll never walk in these shoes. It'll
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: never happy. I understand, I understand, I understand, I understand.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: But they are actual women out there saying so I'll
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: wrap myself in the teflon of these other women who say, Ladies,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: if you get raped, can you please charge them the
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: next day? Don't sit there and come back two and
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: five and ten years later, and please God, don't do it.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Eight weeks before flipp An election, right, but because your
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: credibility is going to be shot.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: But lesson learned. If you do it and it's a
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: Democrat candidate, If you're a Democrat, that will do the
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: candidate in. If you're a Republican, they'll look the other way.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: It's it's really really wild, and I don't know. It's
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: going to be fascinating to see what happens on Monday. Look,
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: he might pull something out of his you know what
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: and say, I ain't dropping out, I'm not filed.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: What do you it's weird? What do you want? What
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: do you want to have happen? The talk show host
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: in me wants me to stay in because that's just fun.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: The conservative activist in me probably wants him to stay
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: in because I think Susan Collins beats him, and I
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: don't know, a new person might benefit from some goodwill,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: new shiny toy.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: All I want to do is make sure Susan Collins wins.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, what what do you? What do
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: you want him to do?
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: I know one hundred and seventy five thousand voters are
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: being disenfranchised. I know a.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Hundred and seventy five thousand. You know that some of
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: them have gone Okay, that's enough, I'm out not but all.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Many of them have not many of them, I guarantee
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: you would say I'm sticking by gram Platiner. When I
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: was in Maine last weekend, in the middle of all
• 29:29
