Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: This is America two fifty. It's a very big deal
- 0:02Speaker 1: to me. It's a very big deal to you. Do
- 0:04Speaker 1: you look across the country and in nineteen seventy six
- 0:08Speaker 1: you had just turned sixteen. I was about to turn eighteen.
- 0:11Speaker 1: So we're kiddos, we're teenagers, so the eyes of a
- 0:15Speaker 1: teen are different. I hear people saying a lot maybe
- 0:20Speaker 1: two hundreds just a bigger rounder number than two fifty,
- 0:23Speaker 1: but it's just not as big a deal, And I
- 0:26Speaker 1: kind of think that's true. And I think part of
- 0:28Speaker 1: it is because patriotism is collapsing in some corridors of
- 0:32Speaker 1: American life and American thought. It's a very big deal
- 0:35Speaker 1: to me, and Trump is talking about the most fireweeks ever.
- 0:39Speaker 1: It'd lasts an hour, and I'm sure it'll be huge
- 0:42Speaker 1: and spectacular on that day. What's your thoughts is as
- 0:44Speaker 1: America two fifty is really just around the corner.
- 0:47Speaker 2: Well, I just don't see it as a year long celebration.
- 0:49Speaker 2: I think we're going to see a lot of, like
- 0:51Speaker 2: you said, explosions of patriotism on around the fourth of July.
- 0:57Speaker 2: But there's just so much. People are going through so
- 1:00Speaker 2: much right now, and from politics to affordability, to gas prices,
- 1:04Speaker 2: to wondering about the war in Iran.
- 1:06Speaker 1: The nineteen seventy six I'm talking about this year, I know,
- 1:10Speaker 1: but it did that didn't mute our enthusiasm. In seventy
- 1:14Speaker 1: six Ford was president.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Everybody was miserable.
- 1:18Speaker 2: But there wasn't a steady fire hose of information that
- 1:22Speaker 2: everybody gets. Now, yeah, good point, and everybody's everybody's consuming
- 1:27Speaker 2: it in huge waves. Look at what we're doing. We
- 1:30Speaker 2: do radio shows, TV shows, now we're doing podcasts. And incidentally,
- 1:35Speaker 2: you know, we should be all wearing black armbands. On
- 1:38Speaker 2: today's eminem Extra. This is the final night of the
- 1:41Speaker 2: Stephen Colbert Show. This is the final broadcast. Had noticed
- 1:46Speaker 2: no who? Hell?
- 1:47Speaker 3: I sort of did?
- 1:48Speaker 2: Left noticed because Laura Ingram noticed. She said last night
- 1:51Speaker 2: to Raymond Arroyo, and I love this. She's kind of right.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Trump broke late night. He got in Trump's crosshairs. Now
- 2:00Speaker 2: the reason is clear. He was losing. He was hemorrhaging money.
- 2:03Speaker 2: The show was losing two hundred, two hundred and fifty
- 2:05Speaker 2: million dollars a year. They had a huge staff, they
- 2:09Speaker 2: weren't selling enough advertising, the rates weren't high enough to
- 2:12Speaker 2: offset and so now they're going to put on what's
- 2:14Speaker 2: the guy's name? I think, isn't he from Dallas?
- 2:16Speaker 3: Byron Byron Allen? And is he from here? I don't know.
- 2:19Speaker 1: It's going to be kind of a comedy show and
- 2:21Speaker 1: a sort of an ape non political.
- 2:23Speaker 2: Oh wow, what a shot, non political, Hayes. So for
- 2:27Speaker 2: ninety minutes every night, CBS's late night viewers aren't going
- 2:30Speaker 2: to be treated to a harangue from some school marm
- 2:33Speaker 2: who hates conservatives and hates them I mean case, I hope.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Guess what, go back to the days it could be done.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Raymond Arroyo was arguing that last night, go back to
- 2:44Speaker 2: the days of Carson and when it was just kind
- 2:46Speaker 2: of fun and you didn't know what their politics were.
- 2:49Speaker 2: It was entertainment. People don't want to go to bed mad,
- 2:52Speaker 2: you know, we want them to be mad when they're
- 2:54Speaker 2: listening to us.
- 2:57Speaker 3: The anger constituency will want that. Come come with us
- 3:00Speaker 3: for that.
- 3:01Speaker 2: And I got angry last night. I texted you. I
- 3:03Speaker 2: shouldn't have texted you after I watched the five because
- 3:05Speaker 2: I shouldn't give you a h because I want to
- 3:07Speaker 2: throw things at you without giving you time to think
- 3:09Speaker 2: about it.
- 3:09Speaker 3: I want to just want to double fun double.
- 3:12Speaker 2: So I'm watching Jessica Tarloff, Everybody's favorite villain, over on
- 3:16Speaker 2: Fox News, and they're talking about Thomas Massey's supposed anti semitism.
- 3:22Speaker 2: And this gets back to something you and I talked
- 3:23Speaker 2: about yesterday. I am really intrigued by this subject for
- 3:26Speaker 2: some reason. Maybe I'm maybe I got to leave it alone.
- 3:28Speaker 2: But here here you know, you you believe that that
- 3:31Speaker 2: what he said, the joke. I was trying to concede
- 3:34Speaker 2: to my opponent, but he was busy, he was over
- 3:36Speaker 2: in Tel Aviv. At all. It was despicable and anti
- 3:40Speaker 2: Semitia was it was?
- 3:41Speaker 1: It was, It was classless and stupid.
- 3:43Speaker 2: But a lot of people said anti Semitic. So the
- 3:46Speaker 2: joke but anti Semitic joke. So so there's there's Jessica
- 3:51Speaker 2: Tarloff saying to the kind of the stunned panel, she said, well, look,
- 3:56Speaker 2: we just have to concede something here. Uh, Youjewish group
- 4:00Speaker 2: spent tens of millions of dollars to defeat Thomas Massey.
- 4:04Speaker 2: And I thought, here's a Jewish democrat acknowledging what Massie
- 4:09Speaker 2: is sort of saying that Jewish groups and maybe Jewish
- 4:13Speaker 2: groups aligned with Israel were behind his stunning upset defeat,
- 4:19Speaker 2: and he's saying Israel has a disproportionate role, or Jewish
- 4:24Speaker 2: groups at least have a disproportionate role in our election process.
- 4:29Speaker 2: And there was Jessica Tarloff saying we should acknowledge tens
- 4:32Speaker 2: of millions of dollars were spent by Jewish groups to
- 4:37Speaker 2: defeat Tom Massey. Is that anti semitic mark?
- 4:41Speaker 1: No, it's truth, because pro Israel groups should try to
- 4:46Speaker 1: contribute to get rid of anti Israel candidates.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Exactly, they get to do that. Yes, the whole you
- 4:53Speaker 2: and I see it that way. I agree with you entirely.
- 4:55Speaker 2: By the way, I do a lot of stuff. For example,
- 4:58Speaker 2: I partner with groups that the fight anti Semitism. Anti
- 5:02Speaker 2: Semitism is real, it's a scourge, nothing wrong with dealing
- 5:05Speaker 2: with it. But again, I just just will gently say
- 5:07Speaker 2: one more time criticizing Israel or criticizing, for example, the
- 5:12Speaker 2: act of Jewish groups but from out of state. By
- 5:15Speaker 2: the way, a lot of these Jewish groups had nothing
- 5:17Speaker 2: to do with Kentucky. These are out of state groups
- 5:20Speaker 2: funneling money into the to the Gallerying campaign. People have
- 5:25Speaker 2: a right to say I don't like that and that,
- 5:27Speaker 2: and that doesn't mean they're an anti semi doesn't mean
- 5:29Speaker 2: they're doesn't mean hate you.
- 5:31Speaker 1: But the moment they say ed was under the mysterious
- 5:35Speaker 1: thrall of the Jews gave him money. I know that's
- 5:39Speaker 1: where the Shylrock imagery kicks in. And that's an anti
- 5:42Speaker 1: submitting like.
- 5:43Speaker 2: This, goofy. Have you seen this Democrat candidate that wants
- 5:46Speaker 2: to put Zionists in prison?
- 5:48Speaker 1: Oh, the lady with the weird pink glasses. It's Texas
- 5:52Speaker 1: thirty five. She's here, she's thirty five. She is your
- 5:55Speaker 1: congresswoman in Texas. She's and she won, she's advancing out
- 5:59Speaker 1: of the general and she's a stone cold whack job.
- 6:03Speaker 1: This woman, what's her name, Melissa, Milinda, somebody she've got.
- 6:05Speaker 1: She looks like some character from like some some sitcom.
- 6:09Speaker 1: He's gotta be big, oversized glasses. She wants to put
- 6:12Speaker 1: ice agents in a in a in a concentration camp.
- 6:16Speaker 1: She wants to put Zionists in a concentration camp. Maureen Galindo,
- 6:22Speaker 1: Maureen Galindo.
- 6:23Speaker 2: Oh boy, you look her up. You wanna you want
- 6:26Speaker 2: to go through you want to have an adventure. You
- 6:29Speaker 2: go want to look at some of the things she
- 6:30Speaker 2: has said. She is a doozy, I mean, and look
- 6:34Speaker 2: they they kind of all are tall. Rico, come on,
- 6:38Speaker 2: six genders, God's non binary. We gotta find out if
- 6:44Speaker 2: he's a vegan or Now that's all I care about.
- 6:45Speaker 1: And she's she's she's in the runoff on Tuesday too.
- 6:48Speaker 1: She has not cleared for November yet, because I was
- 6:51Speaker 1: gonna say, I thought I heard Democrats try actual dem
- 6:54Speaker 1: even Hakim Jeffries. Maybe maybe they gotta she want the
- 6:57Speaker 1: runoff right, or she wanted to run run off it Tuesday.
- 7:01Speaker 2: It's coming up Tuesday.
- 7:02Speaker 1: I got you, I got you, Okay, that kind of
- 7:04Speaker 1: thing I got you, get it.

- 8:15Speaker 2: when we're on vacation. All right, so let's talk about
- 8:18Speaker 2: the meltdown that they're all having on the left, about
- 8:21Speaker 2: the one point seven billion dollar fund for January six
- 8:27Speaker 2: ers and for and for others who have been unfairly prosecuted.
- 8:31Speaker 2: I saw, I saw Todd blanch last night on TV.
- 8:33Speaker 2: He was he gave an interview and he said, look,
- 8:35Speaker 2: they're going to take this on a case by case
- 8:36Speaker 2: basis because there's two There's two sides to this coin,
- 8:43Speaker 2: and I'm really curious as to what side you're on.
- 8:46Speaker 2: Maybe both are true. You've got people who behaved violently
- 8:49Speaker 2: that day, people who fought cops, people who attack cops,
- 8:53Speaker 2: and there's no way around this. People who committed physical
- 8:56Speaker 2: acts of violence and certainly damaged property. They did bad things.
- 9:02Speaker 2: And now the other side of the coin is, Okay,
- 9:05Speaker 2: they did bad things. That doesn't mean that they should
- 9:09Speaker 2: be sentenced to many, many years of prison, they should
- 9:13Speaker 2: be denied due process, that doesn't mean that they should
- 9:17Speaker 2: be treated terribly by the justice system, because, let's face it,
- 9:21Speaker 2: the Democrats saw this thing as something different than your
- 9:24Speaker 2: typical act of violence on a normal day. And what
- 9:28Speaker 2: I would say is, in fact, I was reading I
- 9:32Speaker 2: was reading somebody saying, look, I'm a January sixth er,
- 9:35Speaker 2: a guy named John Cameron. I protested a stolen election.
- 9:39Speaker 2: I walked right past the police through a door that
- 9:41Speaker 2: was opened for me. The police let me in. My
- 9:44Speaker 2: father's step son turned me into the FBI. My house
- 9:47Speaker 2: was raided, I was branded a trader and insurrectionist. I
- 9:51Speaker 2: pleaded guilty to illegal picketing, a Class B petty offense.
- 9:56Speaker 2: I wound up going to jail for thirty days, even
- 9:59Speaker 2: though they promised if I pleaded guilty to picketing picketing, Mark,
- 10:05Speaker 2: this guy spent thirty days apparently in jail for a
- 10:09Speaker 2: Class B petty offense, misdemeanor called illegal picketing because the
- 10:14Speaker 2: judge said he wasn't remorseful enough. He said, all I
- 10:19Speaker 2: did was chance stop the steal inside the capitol and
- 10:21Speaker 2: wore the wrong T shirt. So that's the guy. You
- 10:25Speaker 2: know what would be interesting to me, Mark? Before I
- 10:27Speaker 2: get your response to all of this, some intrepid reporter
- 10:30Speaker 2: ought to compare the prison sentences that the January six
- 10:33Speaker 2: ers got for fighting with cops. I'm talking about the
- 10:36Speaker 2: violent ones. Now we know there were people who did that.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Now compare those to the prison sentences of people who
- 10:42Speaker 2: assaulted cops and burned down buildings during George Floyd.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Riots, or even the vigor with which these folks were pursued.
- 10:50Speaker 1: Maybe the jan sixers were easier to find because clearly
- 10:53Speaker 1: they're right there and focused on one building where the BLM.
- 10:56Speaker 1: The George Floyd riots were splayed out across various American cities, gapes,
- 11:00Speaker 1: but that kind of rioting just doesn't seem to bother
- 11:03Speaker 1: people as much. I think this fund is fantastic. I
- 11:07Speaker 1: admit that it is tricky optics. It gives the other
- 11:10Speaker 1: side the opportunity to say it's a slush fund to
- 11:13Speaker 1: reward J six criminals. It's going to require some explaining,
- 11:17Speaker 1: it's going to require some masonaging, but I love it.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Oh. Yes, they better going to have to vet there,
- 11:23Speaker 2: because they're going to be commissioners who are going to
- 11:25Speaker 2: decide it on a case by case basis.
- 11:27Speaker 3: They better do a good job. They better do a job.
- 11:30Speaker 2: If you hit a cop over the head or whatever,
- 11:32Speaker 2: I don't think you should get a dome. Sorry, I
- 11:34Speaker 2: don't think you If you assaulted a cop, you're not
- 11:37Speaker 2: entitled to any compensation. But if you were, if you're
- 11:40Speaker 2: some granny who just happened to be there and you
- 11:43Speaker 2: wound up having to spend thousands and thousands of dollars, yeah,
- 11:46Speaker 2: depleting your life savings to try to defend yourself because
- 11:49Speaker 2: you were in the wrong place. At the wrong time.
- 11:51Speaker 2: That's it. Maybe you're entitled to some.
- 11:52Speaker 3: Money, that's it.
- 11:54Speaker 1: It was wildly overly aggressive because not just because there
- 11:57Speaker 1: was an offense committed, which there were at various levels
- 12:00Speaker 1: from the really bad to the sort of bad, but
- 12:02Speaker 1: almost all of them were going after with such zeal
- 12:05Speaker 1: because of political venom.
- 12:08Speaker 2: Okay, I thought maybe we'd find something to disagree on. Yeah,
- 12:10Speaker 2: we can't get them. Life is good, by the way,
- 12:14Speaker 2: and you want to get the Mark Davis audience to
- 12:17Speaker 2: get on a bandwagon our Prison Fellowship Ministry campaign, Angel
- 12:21Speaker 2: Tree Summer camps. A kid gets to go to camp
- 12:23Speaker 2: for a week two hundred dollars. You get to sponsor
- 12:25Speaker 2: a child. They go to a Christian, a christ centered camp.
- 12:29Speaker 2: You know where we are right now? How many kids
- 12:31Speaker 2: three hundred and sixty four's got well, six hundred and fifty,
- 12:37Speaker 2: but that's going to change. I want to try to
- 12:38Speaker 2: get to four hundred. How about the Mark Davis audience
