• 0:05
  Speaker 1: We have time to do it again, little eminem for
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: your Friday greatness of steely. Dan Walter Becker would have
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: been seventy six today, passed away back in twenty seventeen,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two, showing the genius.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Right, are you a stall? Oh you don't. If you're
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: give me live people, don't give me dead people. What
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: don't you say? He died at age seventy six. You know,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I'm at a point now, at age sixty five, soon
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: to be sixty six, where I'm watching. I'm watching like
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the CBS in Memoriam, and I watched to see how
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: old with the average median ages of the people who die,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: and when it's like, I'm so sad when it's fifty three,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: seventy one, but when they're ninety nine, I'm like, huh,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: there's hope. There's hope. Ninety three, yes, ninety seven.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, there's an oddity that happens, because just this past
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: week we had the passing of Robert Duval at ninety five.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Talk about a life well lived, talk about an incredible
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: legacy and many amazing longevity, But there was an odd
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing something from your room there, Mike. I don't know,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: like a speaker in the background something or something anyway,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: But there were people who said, like I'm gutted or
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: tragic or something. It's like, what I mean, listen, I said, sadness.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Of course, you know, you could even call it morning.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: But if there's time for a celebration of life, it's
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: when you get to ninety five. It's not like losing
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: somebody when you're fifty. Are you familiar with Eric Dane.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I was going to say doctor McSteamy or whatever they
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: called him, which knows he fifty something years old.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fifty nine, maybe fifty three, I think, and I listen.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I Lisa was heavily into Gray's Anatomy. I'm vaguely familiar
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: with it. He was in something else that I didn't watch,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: but the one thing that I did from twenty fourteen
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to twenty eighteen, he was the captain of the series
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: was called The Last Ship. There'd been a huge global
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: pandemic hello way pre COVID, and the bottom line was
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: this ship was so deep in Greenland or something that
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: that everybody on the ship lived, but the rest of
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the world, most of the rest of the world is
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: dead except for a few pockets of humanity, so they
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: navigate of a savaged world, and him as the captain
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of this ship is very William Shatner Captain Kirkie without
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: being as cheesy as that was. But Eric Dane in
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the Last Ship consume it, binge it this weekend, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I'll say you what it was. Man, It was als Man.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: It will come get you, It will come get you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and take you so fast. He did a lot of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: als awareness in his final year of life.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: And listen just well I played, I played, I played
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: yesterday a clip from Ben sas Ben That's where I was. Oh,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I I didn't want to jump ahead of you,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: because I'll play it today. Tell everybody why that is so? Well.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's the you know, and politically speaking, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: he got in all kinds of you know, hot water
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: over his Trump hatred. He hates Trump. He's a left
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: his office. But I think he just knew that the
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: constituency was turning against him because of his really raging
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: anger towards Trump. Well, he was diagnosed with stage four
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: pancreatic cancer. He has shared with the world his journey
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and he said it's basically a death sentence. But in
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the time I have left, I want to talk about
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: with podcasters and anybody wants to hear me what it
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: feels like. He said, he and his wife are immediately
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: got a strange sense of peace, even with the diet.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: And he's a young guy, too, young man, and he's
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: teaching a lot of great life lessons which proves that
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: we can disagree politically but still kind of be be
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: bonded spiritually. You don't have to hate people who don't
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: like our political figures that we like. You know, there's
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: nothing wrong with that. And people get frustrated, I think sometimes,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: but life is that's what matters. You know. Presidents are
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: going to come and go, Senators are going to come
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and go. But but you know, be right with God.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: And I think that's what I think. That's what Ben
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Sas is.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I just I was looking. I was looking if I
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: knew he was in his early fifties too. Ben Sass's birthday,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: his last one, will be Sunday and he will turn
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: fifty four. And you know, and in what could be
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: and is a very sad story, the power of faith.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: He has leaned into God. His family is with him,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: his friends are with him, and doing this and understanding
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that that rather than be bitter or shake a fist
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: at God, to lean into him, because you guys are
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: going to meet soon, and that's a magnificent thing. This
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: life is but a brief precursor to the eternal life
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: that awaits us all if we choose it. And the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: degree to which he has chosen to be very he
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: could even easily cocooned up and said, listen, I'm just
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: gonna be with my family. You're not going to see me.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I was a US Senator from Nebraska. I'm on TV
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: all the time. He was president of the University of
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Florida for about ten minutes, yep, and then got this diagnosis.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: But God bless him, and God bless those who are
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: going through that. This is one of my themes of
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the morning is this is the way to do it.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: This is the way to do it. The USA women's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: hockey team, did you see them crying and singing every
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: word of the national anthem? This is how you do it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Alicia lu saying screw you to China when they offered
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: her money to skate for them, like Eileen Gooi is
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: skiing for them. She won gold for America that's how
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you do it. That's how you do it well.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: And last night we were in a room full of
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: CEOs and just had a great day. Yesterday we called
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: it the Sale and Media CEO Summit. And I was
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: with Don Junior yesterday afternoon over at the Rich Carlton
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: formerly the Four Seasons. I think I used to stay.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I stayed at that hotel many many times in the
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: years that I'm coming in and out here. We had
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: a great event. There was a number of CEOs that
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: had a kind of a a private conference with the
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: son of the president. And this is a guy, Donald
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Trump Junior is a man who is a real force
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: of nature, and he is integral to the Trump administration.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You know, I kind of forgot until he said it yesterday.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And I don't think I'm saying anything out of school
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: that he was obviously crucial in the selection of JD. Vance.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: He was the guy urging his dad to pick JD.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: He was significant in getting Scott Bessant appointed Treasury Secretary.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: He was crucial in getting Bobby Kennedy in office or
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: in his post, and just a great guy and shared
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: some fascinating things. Now he's got obviously secret service protection.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not kidding. He flew coach on American Airlines from
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Paul Beach to Dallas.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I have to know exactly logistically how this worked, because
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: he of course you think they can afford a private jet.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Of course they could share everybody. What he told the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: logic was. I think you asked him, why in the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: world would you fly on normally scheduled airlines rather than
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: just gas up, you know, the private jet.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: You know. My Denise used to say, Gallagher, you are
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: a little little man. Well, the little little man Gallagher
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: rule comp kicks in here because if I'm Don Junior
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: or I'm mour Ingram, I mean lour Ingram makes big money.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: She's flying Jet Blue. She's posting on X the other night.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Oh I'm stuck here on Jet Blue and I can't
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: get out, you know, and she's complaining about well, guess what, lady,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: you get that G four revved up, You're not gonna
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: have to wait. I mean, these people that are flying
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: and coach Don Junior and coach. I saw your general
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: manager's face light up. Jeff Mitchell thought, was Gallagher going
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: coach tomorrow back to Florida? The first class? I said,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Jeff don't get any ideas. Don't get any ideas from
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Don Junior. But you're right, isn't? And here was Don
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Junior's logic. He said, Look, it's one hundred thousand dollars
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: to bring in a big jet. It sits on the
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: tarmac all day long. I can hop on a three
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty seven dollars flight. Now he I guess
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: he has to have secret service with him on the plane. Right,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: of course they meet him, they also have because I
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: was really intrigued by the logistics of this, because he
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: has secret service protection. Well, they had personnel, I guess.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: They take him to the airport in Palm Beach and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: then they had of course the Dallas office a lot
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: of security yesterday at the Ritz Carlton obviously, and they
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: were waiting for him at the airport, and then they
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: ascort to my guest over to the Rich Carlton over
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: on MacArthur. So it's uh. And I asked him, I said,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: do you get do you get a lot of flak
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: in airports? I mean, remember I'm the guy that got
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: a milkshake dumped on my head because I'm a Fox
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: News contributor back in twenty sixteen in a New York
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: City diners. So I'm a little skittish about That's why
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I love it when my buddy Mark Davis is all
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: over TV because I ain't going. I'm fine doing what
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I do. I'm in my lane. You knock yourself out,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: you co host Will Kine. I'm sitting in the friendly
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: confines of the studio where nobody's gonna dump a milkshake
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: on my head. And I said, and I said to Donna,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I said, do you get Hasley goes? No, he goes,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: mostly he goes. Look, the people that recognize me are
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: essentially fans and their supporters of the administration. He goes.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: When I'm on an American airline slight like I was yesterday,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I'm getting notes handed to me by the flight attendants.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I'm getting pictures and selfies with the pilots. The love
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: there was there was President Trump yesterday at the Varsity
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: in Georgia, the Hamburger Place. The love that he got
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: from ordinary, hardworking, middle class people of color. You know,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: these are black people at the varsity. I love this man,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: crying to see him, and incidentally, not for nothing. One
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four's most accurate pollsters. Insider Advantage just
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: put President Trump's current approval rating at fifty percent. May
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: you think about that, mark? Fifty percent with all that,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: with Minnesota and Epstein and all the crap that we're
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: dealing with, and he's still got a fifty percent approval
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: rating according to Insider Advantage. That's pretty significant.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Shall we in our last couple of minutes here, with
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the Don Junior event still sort of you know, rattling
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: in our brain. We share a little bit about it
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: because when something like that happens, it's very nice for
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the attendees.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't know if any news would come of it,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and I think we're okay with this. Is that you
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: asked him about his level of interest in being his
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: dad's successor, and you would you would. I would have thought,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh, let's not talk about that. That's my dad.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: We got JD, we got Marco, we got all kinds
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: of other people. Brah. It's not like he said I'm running.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: But he didn't say that. I never would. And it
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: got us to thinking, in an already crowded brain and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: busy heart, thinking about JD and Marco and A is
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the describe what we talked about last night in terms
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: of the way the chips would need to fall, where
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Don Junior may be running and with with instead of Don,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: like a Don and Marco Rubia. How would that even go?
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And how do you think it would play well for starters?
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Don Junior is forty eight years old, so he's a
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: very I've got I've got socks older than him. So
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: there's there's certainly a possible that he watches the next
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: cycle of four or eight years. I mean, even in
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: eight years, he'd be only sixty years old. He's a
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: bitch is still he's a young guy. I can happily
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: confirm we don't need to I can cut right to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: the chase. We don't need to beat around the bush.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Oh he's interested, He's absolutely interested. He didn't give any
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: kind of a denial. He didn't give any when I
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: asked him. You know, because look we're hearing today if
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: they we're in trouble in the midterms, it's because Trump
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: isn't on the ballot. So there's a Trump who could
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: be on the ballot, and that he is, and he
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: is his father's son. And I will tell you something else.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I'll reveal something else that came out yesterday. Quickly, he said, look,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I have to say I am my father's son, but
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: maybe without some of the some of the rough edges.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: In other words, you know a lot of people say
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: about Trump they like his policies, but they don't really
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: like the tweets, and they don't like the you know,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: going after Rob Reiner after he was killed, and the
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: kind of the stuff that Trump tends to do. I
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: don't think Don Junior does that kind of stuff. And
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: he said that he's got mark, he's got an amazing
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: sort of self awareness and an awareness of the political landscape.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: And all of those CEOs incidentally, were singularly impressed at
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: his depth of knowledge on a foreign policy, on mineral rights,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: on all kinds of stuff. AI. This guy, he's the
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: real deal. Don is a Don Junior's a force of nature.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: You keep it on. He's not going anywhere.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I can make room in the slicing of the pie
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: for all the hopefuls. And I always have room in
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: my head and my heart to appreciate you when you
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: come to town. Just to be all that fun working
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: out dinner last night, Just just how.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Fun was that to do an Eminem in person, you
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: and me together on a couple of high back stools
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: there or whatever you call it, and we had so
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: much fun. And it's great to be with you in
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: person and see your new digs and hang out together.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: I loved every minute of it and can't wait to
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: the next time. And by the way, State and stay
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: tuned because more of the Extra Eminem podcast only version.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I just had a long conversation with somebody about that
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: somebody you know, something to do with agreements and facilities
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: and logistics. So I've got much to share with you
