Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Welcome to a meeting of the minds crafted from decades
- 0:05Speaker 1: of talk show experience, an extension of the magic they've
- 0:08Speaker 1: created together on radio in the phenomenon called M and M,
- 0:13Speaker 1: Hot Topics in the News and Wisdom from Light. It's
- 0:16Speaker 1: Mark Davis and Mike Gallagher. This is eminem Extra.
- 0:22Speaker 2: And the big reveal about lunch yesterday that people want.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Inquiring minds want to know what happened with Mark Davis,
- 0:31Speaker 2: the restaurant and the donor lunch. Welcome in to a Tuesday.
- 0:35Speaker 2: We're back. We had problems yesterday, we had all kinds
- 0:39Speaker 2: of ah, what a headache. But we're back and thank
- 0:43Speaker 2: you for patience and welcome into the eminem Extra. I'm
- 0:46Speaker 2: Mike Gallagher, He's Mark Davis. And look at you with
- 0:49Speaker 2: your Hawaiian shirt. You're in a Vernichester springing food. I
- 0:53Speaker 2: love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.
- 0:55Speaker 2: All right, So let's wait for though we've got going
- 0:59Speaker 2: to be left doing that last but not last. Last.
- 1:03Speaker 2: I don't want to make I don't want to PUNDI
- 1:04Speaker 2: him last medium last about.
- 1:07Speaker 3: Halways through some war some Michelle Obama is a man
- 1:11Speaker 3: at the UFC.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Another assassination attempt and terror attack at the White House,
- 1:18Speaker 2: which is a very serious. This story. The FBI disrupted
- 1:23Speaker 2: and thwarted an apparent would be attack at this White
- 1:27Speaker 2: House two fifty Freedom event Sunday sne thing.
- 1:30Speaker 3: It's like a movie plot. They were going to have
- 1:32Speaker 3: drones that spread terrified people all over the place into
- 1:37Speaker 3: the into the into the field of view of waiting
- 1:39Speaker 3: snipers near the White House neighborhood. It's like what I mean.
- 1:44Speaker 2: And they've arrested. There's apparently nearly two dozen people involved
- 1:48Speaker 2: in this horrific, horrific attack. Now think about it. This
- 1:54Speaker 2: would have been the fifth assassination attempt on President Trump's
- 1:58Speaker 2: life by my count. We had Butler, we had the
- 2:01Speaker 2: golf course, we had the White House correspondence dinner, and
- 2:05Speaker 2: we had the Iranian assassination plot. This different?
- 2:10Speaker 3: Is this a different category? I think if you're trying
- 2:12Speaker 3: to send armed drones to the UFC event, that is
- 2:18Speaker 3: less a an assassination attempt even though Trump is there,
- 2:21Speaker 3: and more of a terrorist mass killing attempt.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Yeah. But but believe me, you don't think Trump would
- 2:29Speaker 2: have been one of their targets. Oh no, you know clearly.
- 2:34Speaker 2: So here we go again. You know with another you know,
- 2:37Speaker 2: and and I'm going to go on on a limb
- 2:39Speaker 2: and say, I'll bet you they're not exactly members of
- 2:41Speaker 2: the Virginia the Fairfax, Virginia GOP club. You know, I'm
- 2:46Speaker 2: gonna I'm just gonna say that. But but Mark, is
- 2:50Speaker 2: it wrong to go to that political boundary right away,
- 2:53Speaker 2: to those political tribes and say that the Democrats have
- 2:57Speaker 2: become the party of violence? That the Demo are absolutely
- 3:01Speaker 2: the party of political violence and anarchy and chaos. It's
- 3:06Speaker 2: not true.
- 3:07Speaker 3: It's their thing of the moment. It's there in a
- 3:09Speaker 3: flavor of the month, flavor of the year, not not
- 3:11Speaker 3: just those who practice that violence, but those who put
- 3:14Speaker 3: their toe in the pool of saying that it's kind
- 3:16Speaker 3: of okay. I mean you and I've talked about the
- 3:18Speaker 3: surveys of people who have been asked the question a
- 3:21Speaker 3: few times is is would political violence be okay under
- 3:25Speaker 3: this situation? That and the percentage of Democrats saying it
- 3:28Speaker 3: you absolutely should never do it is shrinking in the
- 3:31Speaker 3: number of people opening the door to the possibility of
- 3:34Speaker 3: political violence being palatable seems to grow. It's just a
- 3:38Speaker 3: huge disconnect between you know, the way we used to be.
- 3:41Speaker 3: We used to be able to disagree, not just without
- 3:44Speaker 3: being disagreeable, but without saying that we need to kill
- 3:46Speaker 3: our opponents, and that seems to have gone the way
- 3:49Speaker 3: of the dinosaur.
- 3:50Speaker 2: If you took any comfort, joy, or satisfaction in the
- 3:55Speaker 2: assassination of Charlie Kirk, you're part of the problem, and
- 3:58Speaker 2: you're part of that faction that seems to want to
- 4:03Speaker 2: revel in political violence, and that's pretty terrifying. It's scary
- 4:08Speaker 2: to know. This has got to get We got to
- 4:10Speaker 2: get this violence under control. And the where you start
- 4:15Speaker 2: is at the ballot box. Where we start is with elections,
- 4:18Speaker 2: and so we're gonna spend time on that. I'm watching
- 4:20Speaker 2: how many people are joining us live. We got a
- 4:22Speaker 2: couple hundred people, I think in five minutes, how about
- 4:27Speaker 2: five minutes from now, we will do the great reveal
- 4:30Speaker 2: about the lunch yesterday.
- 4:32Speaker 3: And you're dying to get to it. You're just absolutely.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Can't wait, can't wait. But first things first, let's just
- 4:39Speaker 2: both marvel at the generousness and the graciousness and the
- 4:44Speaker 2: love of our audience and all the people that we
- 4:47Speaker 2: had lunch with, and for people just joining us who
- 4:49Speaker 2: don't know why I was in Dallas yesterday. I went
- 4:53Speaker 2: in to co host a lunch with Mark. We had
- 4:57Speaker 2: what it was, a dozen people, right, twelve people.
- 4:59Speaker 3: All together, well plus you and me, fourteen total.
- 5:01Speaker 2: And those twelve people made a generous donation to our
- 5:05Speaker 2: Food for the Poor campaign, and they're The payoff was
- 5:08Speaker 2: you get to have lunch with Mark and Mike. You
- 5:10Speaker 2: have a live eminem experience right there at a restaurant.
- 5:15Speaker 2: And we had a private room. We had a nice big,
- 5:18Speaker 2: you know, rectangular table where we are all talking about issues.
- 5:22Speaker 2: And Mark, we've done this. This was the second time
- 5:24Speaker 2: we've done it, right or is it third third time?
- 5:28Speaker 2: Every time we've done it, we have both walked away
- 5:32Speaker 2: just stunned. And how wonderful these people are, how smart
- 5:37Speaker 2: they are, how engaged they are. How lucky are we
- 5:41Speaker 2: that we get to do this for a living, My friend.
- 5:44Speaker 3: It's just because luck of the draw, you know, plucking
- 5:47Speaker 3: people at random or people who just wished to donate.
- 5:49Speaker 3: It's possible we could have had it any one of
- 5:51Speaker 3: these occasions. Good hearted people who may not be the
- 5:55Speaker 3: most effusive, the most expressive, and by the way, I
- 5:58Speaker 3: don't care, sit there, eat and look at it. Whatever
- 6:00Speaker 3: you want to do, you know, your money. But everybody
- 6:03Speaker 3: was so interesting and so engaged, and I don't know
- 6:06Speaker 3: about you, but I just come away. You know, we're
- 6:07Speaker 3: the ones doing all the shows and stuff and all
- 6:10Speaker 3: the broadcasting and stuff. But I always come away having
- 6:12Speaker 3: learned so very very much from them and their body
- 6:17Speaker 3: of experience. Here's a little secret. If you ever find
- 6:19Speaker 3: yourself in one of these things, Sure you and I
- 6:21Speaker 3: are going to hold court and share some secrets of radio.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Oh you know that wonderful stuff. But the first half
- 6:27Speaker 3: of it is going to be us asking you about you.
- 6:29Speaker 3: We went around the entire horn just and it was
- 6:32Speaker 3: just a fascinating story after fascinating story. Half the women
- 6:35Speaker 3: were nurses, the other lady was a retired flight and sended.
- 6:40Speaker 2: One of them was Apien, one was a hospital, one
- 6:43Speaker 2: was a hospice nurse. I mean, how wonderful. I mean, Mark,
- 6:48Speaker 2: the the kind of people that we were with yesterday,
- 6:53Speaker 2: it just lifts you up. I mean, I mean, I'm
- 6:55Speaker 2: in such a great mood, and I get frustrated at
- 6:58Speaker 2: the doomers and then naysayers and the pannikins and the
- 7:02Speaker 2: people who are continually tearing down this country and some
- 7:06Speaker 2: on our side, Andy McCarthy today. Oh, Trump thinks we're
- 7:10Speaker 2: all imbeciles, he writes a piece for National Review. Trump
- 7:14Speaker 2: thinks we're all a nation of idiots. And he's, uh,
- 7:18Speaker 2: what's the never over the Iran deal? Oh, he's completely
- 7:23Speaker 2: tearing that thing without even knowing what's what's coming.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Lis spend a moment on that, because I did a
- 7:30Speaker 3: post yesterday that I guess I'm sort of proud of
- 7:32Speaker 3: it said, call me crazy, but I'm not sitting here
- 7:35Speaker 3: saying that I absolutely know it's the greatest things in
- 7:37Speaker 3: sliced bread. Nor am I sitting here saying that it's
- 7:40Speaker 3: a path to ruin and a horribly unwise exercise. Here's
- 7:44Speaker 3: a crazy idea. How about if we let the game
- 7:48Speaker 3: come to us, see what it actually says. I have
- 7:51Speaker 3: a basic level of trust for the people who have
- 7:53Speaker 3: crafted it, and I much prefer a deal made under
- 7:56Speaker 3: Trump to any deal made under Obama in terms of
- 7:58Speaker 3: the teeth that are behind it. How about if we
- 8:00Speaker 3: just sit tight and see what this thing actually is
- 8:02Speaker 3: and what it actually does, rather than rush in with
- 8:05Speaker 3: all these hot takes of the moment.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Crazy idea, It's a crazy idea. Let the game come
- 8:11Speaker 2: to you. Let the game come to you. We've got
- 8:13Speaker 2: to wait. Look, Scott Jennings said it last night that
- 8:16Speaker 2: there are miles to go with this Iran deal. But
- 8:20Speaker 2: you know what I want.
- 8:21Speaker 3: I want what.
- 8:22Speaker 2: President Trump wants, Iran with no nukes, the straight of
- 8:26Speaker 2: Hord moves opened up gas prices, energy prices, affordability plummeting
- 8:31Speaker 2: down to the ground, and we win the winn LPs.
- 8:35Speaker 2: We win the midterms on November the third. Am I
- 8:37Speaker 2: asking for too much? Am I asking for too much? Asking?
- 8:40Speaker 3: You're asking for exactly the right things. And it's probably
- 8:43Speaker 3: an opportunity for us to admittedly recognize what the obstacles are,
- 8:48Speaker 3: because any deal made with Iran is a deal made
- 8:50Speaker 3: with Iran, whom we scarcely trust as far as we
- 8:53Speaker 3: can throw them. Trust but verifies, Reagan said about the Soviets,
- 8:57Speaker 3: and I confess, I don't know how you verify that
- 9:00Speaker 3: they've given up all the fissible uranium. I don't know
- 9:03Speaker 3: if we if we know, how we verify that they've
- 9:05Speaker 3: given up everything they said they were going to do.
- 9:08Speaker 3: I don't know exactly how we verify the money if
- 9:10Speaker 3: we're going to free up a couple of bucks for
- 9:12Speaker 3: them to rebuild their bombed out nation. How do we
- 9:15Speaker 3: know that some of that money doesn't go straight to
- 9:17Speaker 3: hamas and hesbla. Those are not bad questions.
- 9:20Speaker 2: It's not bad questions. And then there's there's the biggest
- 9:23Speaker 2: question of all. Did Mark Davis really almost get arrested
- 9:27Speaker 2: yesterday at a restaurant? No, we got to tell them,
- 9:32Speaker 2: we got let's let's just say five minutes in, five
- 9:34Speaker 2: minutes in, so we have this, so we have this show,
- 9:37Speaker 2: we have this wonderful lunch yes And and Tracy here
- 9:42Speaker 2: in Florida has been arranging with the restaurant all the
- 9:45Speaker 2: details for the lunch. And she was talking to like
- 9:48Speaker 2: a I guess a regional woman named Lisa. All right,
- 9:52Speaker 2: you're you're you're you're Lisa right, not the same one,
- 9:55Speaker 2: but the same name. And Tracy gave had to give
- 9:59Speaker 2: a credit card to Lisa to secure the room and
- 10:04Speaker 2: book the space and all of that. And Lisa and
- 10:08Speaker 2: Tracy agreed, we're going to keep it on that credit
- 10:11Speaker 2: card for the for the for the total bill and
- 10:14Speaker 2: the bill show.
- 10:15Speaker 3: And Lisa is a regional person and it is a
- 10:18Speaker 3: great restaurant, a great restaurant company. We love them, just
- 10:22Speaker 3: looking to get the cast of characters. Well, I don't
- 10:24Speaker 3: love them, Lisa Love. It's not somebody. It's not somebody
- 10:28Speaker 3: in the building, but an executive elsewhere.
- 10:32Speaker 2: So I've got a I've got lunch. We and I
- 10:34Speaker 2: flew in Sunday night. We had lunch, and then I
- 10:37Speaker 2: was flying back yesterday afternoon and there was weather moving in.
- 10:41Speaker 2: I thought, and you know when there's weather and flights
- 10:43Speaker 2: get canceled, then I go into my mode of trying
- 10:45Speaker 2: to get a plan B. All right, if American can't
- 10:48Speaker 2: get me out, can Delta get me out? Can I
- 10:50Speaker 2: hop on off Southwest plane? You know, I'm a road warrior.
- 10:53Speaker 2: I know how to do that. But I needed to
- 10:55Speaker 2: get to the airport because I was I was concerned, right,
- 10:57Speaker 2: So I left a little early and I left Mark
- 11:01Speaker 2: behind with the twelve donors.
- 11:05Speaker 3: Which is fine. Mike was making some leaving noises. He
- 11:08Speaker 3: we we did pictures. Everything was great, dessert was kind
- 11:11Speaker 3: of in progress. I expect that i'd be that like
- 11:13Speaker 3: the final ten to fifteen minutes in the room, and
- 11:15Speaker 3: it worked out superbly that that part was fine.
- 11:17Speaker 2: I'll continue, all right, So I go I hop in
- 11:20Speaker 2: the rental car. Give everybody hugs. We do our pictures
- 11:23Speaker 2: and selfies, and I give you a hug. And now
- 11:27Speaker 2: you're now, look, you're trying to be nice here. You
- 11:29Speaker 2: didn't love me bailing on you. I mean, you were
- 11:32Speaker 2: nice about it, but I could find I know, I
- 11:34Speaker 2: know you got a flight. I okay, you know you
- 11:37Speaker 2: got to get to Florida. I got to get the
- 11:38Speaker 2: Denton County. So that was very trouble whatsoever. I was
- 11:42Speaker 2: going to sort of MC the last ten to fifteen.
- 11:45Speaker 2: Last fifteen not a problem, okay, good.
- 11:48Speaker 3: And as I went out to kind of make a
- 11:49Speaker 3: quick restroom trip as you were on the way out,
- 11:51Speaker 3: gave you the hug on the way out, and I
- 11:53Speaker 3: saw you talking to the waiter, which I figured was
- 11:56Speaker 3: you kind of handling the business arrangement.
- 11:58Speaker 2: So the waiter says, who's going to handle the bill?
- 12:01Speaker 2: It's a seven hundred and fifty dollars bill, so I've
- 12:04Speaker 2: got to pay the bill, and we got to pay
- 12:06Speaker 2: the tip. And I'm thinking, I'm trying to do the
- 12:08Speaker 2: math in my mind. I'm thinking, what do I give him?
- 12:09Speaker 2: I guess we give him like one hundred and fifty bucks, right,
- 12:12Speaker 2: that's a good tip for seven hundred fifty. And he
- 12:15Speaker 2: worked the whole room by himself. He worked hard, he
- 12:17Speaker 2: was fantastic. So he's well, then he says, I got
- 12:20Speaker 2: to get I said, well, Lisa, the regional person has
- 12:24Speaker 2: the credit card from Tracy on file and they'll handle that. Well,
- 12:28Speaker 2: they weren't buying that. Yeah, well well no, but they
- 12:30Speaker 2: weren't really accepting that. So he goes to find the
- 12:33Speaker 2: manager and he goes, you have to talk to my
- 12:35Speaker 2: manager about that. I said, no problem. So he goes
- 12:38Speaker 2: and leaves to find the manager. Well, nobody ever comes back.
- 12:41Speaker 2: I'm standing there and it's like five ten minutes and
- 12:44Speaker 2: I got to get to the airport. So I tell
- 12:46Speaker 2: the hostess, I don't know where your manager is. I
- 12:50Speaker 2: got to go, I said, Lisa, the regional person has
- 12:53Speaker 2: the credit card. We want to put one hundred and
- 12:55Speaker 2: fifty dollars tip on for the waiter. See you later.
- 12:58Speaker 2: I'm out the door. So I go, I get well, huh,
- 13:03Speaker 2: and I think everything that.
- 13:04Speaker 3: Would you if the next part of your story is
- 13:08Speaker 3: the phone ringing and it's me, may I fill in
- 13:11Speaker 3: the intervening minutes?
- 13:12Speaker 2: Yes, well let's do that, because yes, the next part
- 13:15Speaker 2: of my story is going to be. As I'm going
- 13:18Speaker 2: through security, ding ding ding, my phone is bringing off
- 13:21Speaker 2: the hook and it's you, and you're texting me frantically.
- 13:26Speaker 2: I need you now, call me now, and you've got
- 13:30Speaker 2: all caps. I'm thinking, uh oh, something's wrong.
- 13:33Speaker 3: Tell you what you're its social it's all caps, baby,
- 13:36Speaker 3: it's all caps.
- 13:37Speaker 2: Thank you for your attention to this matter. So tell me,
- 13:40Speaker 2: mister Davis, what happened prior to you in this panicked
- 13:44Speaker 2: way texting me? How do we get to that part?
- 13:47Speaker 3: How did we get there? So as the festivities are
- 13:51Speaker 3: wrapping up, I am I'm noticing I have not seen
- 13:55Speaker 3: something happen that happened when it was because we have
- 13:59Speaker 3: the Mark group of listeners, there's the Mike group of listeners.
- 14:01Speaker 3: Sometimes it's related to some campaign that I'm doing or
- 14:03Speaker 3: campaign that you're doing. This was your campaign when it
- 14:06Speaker 3: was my campaign, and we had everybody around the table
- 14:08Speaker 3: for twelve at the round table with a guy blah
- 14:10Speaker 3: blah blah, same restaurant. Once it's all over, they bring
- 14:14Speaker 3: the bill and I pay it. That's your credit card,
- 14:18Speaker 3: boom exactly. And I'm sitting there noticing just kind of thinking,
- 14:21Speaker 3: you know, Mike's about to roll desserts on the table.
- 14:24Speaker 2: Everybody.
- 14:24Speaker 3: You know, we're pretty well ninety eight percent done here.
- 14:27Speaker 3: I have not seen Mike settle up now and just whatever.
- 14:32Speaker 3: And then when I mentioned that, I went out to
- 14:34Speaker 3: make the restroom trip and I saw you talking to
- 14:36Speaker 3: the waiter guy. I figure, that's when it's happening, that's
- 14:39Speaker 3: when the business is being conducted. All good, So I
- 14:42Speaker 3: come back in do the last ten to fifteen minutes
- 14:45Speaker 3: of greetings and glad handing and thank you and hugs,
- 14:48Speaker 3: and I walk out of our special our room off
- 14:50Speaker 3: to the side, and our waiter guy looks at me
- 14:53Speaker 3: with a kind of a look of concern and says,
- 14:55Speaker 3: have you seen the manager? And I said, I know,
- 14:59Speaker 3: why would I need to? And this this little woman
- 15:02Speaker 3: comes out and says, yeah, we don't have a credit
- 15:06Speaker 3: card on file, and this point she's speaking Chinese to me.
- 15:09Speaker 3: As far as my ability to comprehend with this, mean,
- 15:11Speaker 3: what do you mean you know? I have a credit
- 15:12Speaker 3: card on file? And I then learn that whatever the
- 15:17Speaker 3: arrangement should have been just kind of did not happen,
- 15:22Speaker 3: and it's like, okay, this should be fairly easy to handle,
- 15:27Speaker 3: so I get I guess at this point this might
- 15:29Speaker 3: have been when I texted you or called you the
- 15:32Speaker 3: first time, just to kind of say, hey, it's funny
- 15:34Speaker 3: because they're both standing there. I've got you on speaker.
- 15:37Speaker 3: At this point, my inclination is just to hand you
- 15:39Speaker 3: the phone and go, hey, y'all, settle figure this out,
- 15:42Speaker 3: whatever this is, figure it out. And it became instantly
- 15:45Speaker 3: clear to me that there was some arrangement that you
- 15:47Speaker 3: had indeed made through this woman. But I also learned
- 15:51Speaker 3: that she ain't there and they can't reach her and
- 15:53Speaker 3: don't know where she is, who she is, or whatever.
- 15:55Speaker 3: So it's like, okay, and I'm just about about to
- 15:58Speaker 3: hand the talking stick back to you. At this point,
- 16:01Speaker 3: one thing is clear above all else, and that is
- 16:03Speaker 3: whatever else. The deal is a you need to give
- 16:07Speaker 3: me a credit card number that works, and you need
- 16:10Speaker 3: to give it to me right now, and I don't
- 16:12Speaker 3: care whose it is or where it is, because they're there.
- 16:16Speaker 3: And last thing, so what were they going to do?
- 16:18Speaker 3: Were they not going to let you leave?
- 16:20Speaker 4: Well?
- 16:20Speaker 3: No, no, no, that never was really on the table.
- 16:23Speaker 2: What was on the table.
- 16:24Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna turntable and walk why not. I mean,
- 16:28Speaker 3: I know, because okay, because the lady, I'll never forget
- 16:32Speaker 3: her words. She looked at me and said, this hasn't
- 16:35Speaker 3: been paid yet. And I said, oh, I wish they
- 16:39Speaker 3: would have arrested you. I wish they would have called
- 16:42Speaker 3: the cops. I would have been on the plane waiting
- 16:44Speaker 3: to get on the plane because you're calling me and
- 16:46Speaker 3: you hand the phone to me.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Now I love this. You call and say, here's the manager.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Will you talk to her?
- 16:52Speaker 5: Right?
- 16:52Speaker 2: And I said, well, of course, I'll explain lisha blah
- 16:55Speaker 2: blah blah. You hand the phone to her and she says,
- 16:57Speaker 2: hell An, this is Betsy may I. How can I
- 17:01Speaker 2: help you? And I said, I was thrown by that.
- 17:04Speaker 2: I said, how can you help me? What are you
- 17:07Speaker 2: talking about? How can you help me? I said, the
- 17:09Speaker 2: thing is settled. Your Lisa manager has the credit card.
- 17:14Speaker 2: You know I was. I was annoyed with this. How
- 17:16Speaker 2: can I help you? What do you mean? Don't give
- 17:18Speaker 2: me that patronizing sing song bull crap? How can you
- 17:23Speaker 2: help me?
- 17:24Speaker 4: Hanging?
- 17:24Speaker 2: She was a she was a witch, and I've said,
- 17:27Speaker 2: and she was not having it. And I but I
- 17:30Speaker 2: would I almost said to them, look put him in handcuffs,
- 17:33Speaker 2: take him away. It's his fault. It's Mark Davis's fault
- 17:37Speaker 2: because you were getting annoyed and I could tell you
- 17:40Speaker 2: wanted to get out of there. What well, well I
- 17:42Speaker 2: wanted to leave. You're ready might.
- 17:44Speaker 3: Not be the it was it was. It was vexing
- 17:48Speaker 3: and with you being expressive in me being expressive in
- 17:51Speaker 3: this venue, I need to stress so that people could
- 17:54Speaker 3: place themselves there, that this entire series of events is
- 17:58Speaker 3: taking place at about this volume. It's about this conversational tone.
- 18:02Speaker 3: If I was very weird, I'd be yelling. Indeed, thank
- 18:05Speaker 3: god you're in the car and screaming. So it's not
- 18:08Speaker 3: the kind of thing where the entire restaurant is going
- 18:10Speaker 3: what not at all. However, one of our attendees from
- 18:14Speaker 3: the people from the lunch comes up behind me is like,
- 18:16Speaker 3: is everything okay? Like you my card, I'm gonna be
- 18:23Speaker 3: washing dishes.
- 18:26Speaker 2: That's what I's what I think. But here's the uncomfortable
- 18:30Speaker 2: reaction I had. I couldn't stop laughing. I'm walking through
- 18:34Speaker 2: the df W security with their brand new digital touchless.
- 18:39Speaker 2: I'm so excited about touchless. Great, that's the new way
- 18:42Speaker 2: to get in. Now you don't even have to pull
- 18:44Speaker 2: out your driver's license. You don't down, finish up, and
- 18:47Speaker 2: we'll get to the you don't. You don't have to
- 18:49Speaker 2: show your boarding pass. You just get a picture and
- 18:51Speaker 2: off you go. So I'm going through there, Well, I'm
- 18:54Speaker 2: laughing my butt off. I can't because I because I can.
- 18:58Speaker 2: I could tell you're whether you want to admit it
- 19:01Speaker 2: or not, we'll put it this way, mildly annoyed. You're like,
- 19:05Speaker 2: and we're on the verge of agitation. You can't believe
- 19:09Speaker 2: you're stuck with this problem. That was really my fault
- 19:12Speaker 2: because Tracy and I handled all of this stuff.
- 19:16Speaker 3: And I knew that, which is why I knew everything
- 19:19Speaker 3: was this far from a complete resolution. But this far
- 19:22Speaker 3: couldn't get to this far. And I'm saying, okay, I'm
- 19:27Speaker 3: the recognizable soul at the vortex of this thing. And
- 19:31Speaker 3: so Tracy did that. You said, I'll have Tracy call
- 19:34Speaker 3: you with a credit card number, which seconds later she did.
- 19:37Speaker 3: So I write down the credit card number, Tracy's name,
- 19:40Speaker 3: and Tracy's phone number, and I have that on this
- 19:43Speaker 3: little piece of paper, and I tell the hostess lady,
- 19:45Speaker 3: who I think is the same hostess lady who spoke
- 19:47Speaker 3: to I said, hey, could you go get the manager lady,
- 19:50Speaker 3: because I've got this for her. At that point, I
- 19:52Speaker 3: can give that to her and I can hit the
- 19:54Speaker 3: parking lot. So she then says, oh, I don't know
- 19:57Speaker 3: where she went. About two or three or four minutes
- 20:00Speaker 3: go by, and at that point I go to the
- 20:02Speaker 3: hostess lady, give her that piece of paper with that
- 20:05Speaker 3: credit card number and Tracy's number. I give that to
- 20:08Speaker 3: her and say, Sea, and I hit the parking lot
- 20:12Speaker 3: as unceremoniously as you had moments earlier.
- 20:14Speaker 2: But that's what I called you.
- 20:17Speaker 3: It's basically, WTF, buddy, What in the world just happened?
- 20:22Speaker 2: And at this moment, we still don't know if they
- 20:24Speaker 2: ever paid the bill, because I know credit card number
- 20:28Speaker 2: is floating around Grapevine, Texas, So people right now are buying,
- 20:33Speaker 2: you know, electronics from Japan. I mean, because, by the way,
- 20:38Speaker 2: not a real secure thing to write down a credit
- 20:40Speaker 2: card number on a piece of paper and hand it
- 20:42Speaker 2: to somebody. Are you kidding? That's what you did. You
- 20:46Speaker 2: wrote it down on a piece of paper and you
- 20:48Speaker 2: don't left Are you serious? That's not a good idea, Mark,
- 20:53Speaker 2: Why did you do that.
- 20:54Speaker 3: Let's start the one because I had to get up
- 20:56Speaker 3: because guess what it was? It was Junior's time to
- 20:58Speaker 3: get out of the building.
- 21:01Speaker 2: How bad that is? You can't write a credit card
- 21:04Speaker 2: number and you gave it to some stranger at the podium.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Sure did you did? In Mark? Are you off? This
- 21:12Speaker 2: story goes from bad to worse.
- 21:14Speaker 3: Well, but it's funny because I guess the manager lady
- 21:19Speaker 3: had said, because I was going to get Because what
- 21:21Speaker 3: would have been because again you're right about this and
- 21:23Speaker 3: I'm having but only the ideal thing would have been
- 21:28Speaker 3: manager lady actually is there. Tracy gives me that number,
- 21:32Speaker 3: It's on a piece of paper in front of me,
- 21:33Speaker 3: and I recite it in two hours so that she
- 21:36Speaker 3: can I mean.
- 21:37Speaker 2: Yeah, Now, the ideal thing would have been they had
- 21:39Speaker 2: their act together, and they knew who Lisa was, and
- 21:42Speaker 2: she's a regional manager and she'd been dealing with Tracy,
- 21:45Speaker 2: and Tracy had talked to her a million times. It was
- 21:47Speaker 2: all anyway, It all got paid, and so thank you
- 21:51Speaker 2: for tuning in for the big reveal. I want to
- 21:53Speaker 2: talk about it, Ron. I want to talk about the
- 21:56Speaker 2: violence on the left. I want to talk about how miserable.
- 21:59Speaker 2: So many of these people are. But before we do that,
- 22:02Speaker 2: let me welcome. Hey, Eric, can you give us a

- 25:26Speaker 2: watching today and lots of comments and lots of lots
- 25:30Speaker 2: of different feedback and inputs. So thank you, thank you,
- 25:33Speaker 2: thank you. I want Scott Jennings is a colleague of
- 25:37Speaker 2: ours here at Salem. He's on every night on CNN.
- 25:40Speaker 2: Abby Phillips was questioning this Iran deal. I want to
- 25:44Speaker 2: I want to play for you if you don't mind
- 25:46Speaker 2: Scott playing, just just spelling this out and firing back
- 25:50Speaker 2: to Abby Phillip. Abby Phillip was questioning the Trump deal
- 25:54Speaker 2: with Iran, and Scott had three really important points that
- 25:58Speaker 2: I wanted to share with you and everybody else.
- 26:01Speaker 1: Why are we even talking about reconstruction funds or releasing
- 26:06Speaker 1: any money at all.
- 26:07Speaker 5: Well, we're talking to them because we want this conflict
- 26:10Speaker 5: to end and we want to get to an ultimate
- 26:12Speaker 5: goal where Iran doesn't have any or the capacity to
- 26:16Speaker 5: make any nuclear weapons. That is the principal goal. That's
- 26:19Speaker 5: number one. Number two, it will be wise for the
- 26:21Speaker 5: administration to put this document out for everybody to look at,
- 26:24Speaker 5: and they ought to do it as soon as they can,
- 26:27Speaker 5: both for their allies who are interested, but also for
- 26:29Speaker 5: the American people because we've gone to war here. The
- 26:32Speaker 5: American people deserve to know how this is going to
- 26:35Speaker 5: come to an end. Number three. I talked to the
- 26:36Speaker 5: President on Sunday and he was telling me he was
- 26:40Speaker 5: about to sign something where Iran, and he did and
- 26:43Speaker 5: he was excited to get the strait of horror moves open.
- 26:45Speaker 5: But he said something very important to me, which is, look,
- 26:47Speaker 5: if they don't follow through on their commitments, we will
- 26:50Speaker 5: start hitting them again. He's clearly not taken further military
- 26:53Speaker 5: action off the table. So we have some miles to
- 26:56Speaker 5: travel down this road. The next mile will be on Friday,
- 26:59Speaker 5: when there's a formal signing for the people who don't
- 27:01Speaker 5: trust Iran.
- 27:02Speaker 2: Look, I agree with you.
- 27:03Speaker 5: I think an Iranian signature is worth very very little,
- 27:06Speaker 5: but it could be worth something if the President keeps this.
- 27:12Speaker 2: I mean, frim good for him. I mean, hey, I
- 27:15Speaker 2: got an idea. Why don't we cheer the potential of
- 27:19Speaker 2: keeping Iran from being able to produce a nuclear weapon?
- 27:22Speaker 2: Opening up the straight of horror moves getting prices down
- 27:25Speaker 2: again in America to below Biden levels. Certainly, and yet
- 27:30Speaker 2: here Andy McCarthy, the Trump administration thinks were imbeciles to
- 27:35Speaker 2: the extent he calls him Neville Trump. Neville Trump is peddlings.
- 27:40Speaker 3: To Neville Chamberlain, who is blind to the evils of Hitler.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he says Andy McCarthy, who I like,
- 27:47Speaker 2: you've interviewed him, right, we both know.
- 27:50Speaker 3: I want to say Trump broke him, but something happened
- 27:53Speaker 3: to him in the last year.
- 27:54Speaker 2: I think Trump broke him. I mean, look, he's National Review, right.
- 28:00Speaker 2: Do you remember in twenty sixteen, the never Trump edition
- 28:03Speaker 2: that they produce. Do you remember who wrote the columns?
- 28:07Speaker 2: Do you remember who wrote columns.
- 28:08Speaker 3: Which Rich Lowry? It was Andy one of them.
- 28:11Speaker 2: Dana Lash yeah, Glenn Beck, Michael. I mean you go
- 28:17Speaker 2: down the list and a lot of them are people
- 28:19Speaker 2: you think are relying. And I always have to say
- 28:21Speaker 2: that number one, the Mark Davis rule of grace and
- 28:25Speaker 2: virtue would be, well, maybe they saw the light. Maybe
- 28:27Speaker 2: they came around them.
- 28:29Speaker 3: Oh a lot of it, because the whole thing was
- 28:30Speaker 3: called the entire cover story was against Trump, wasn't it?
- 28:34Speaker 3: Wasn't that the crazyology on the front. I think a
- 28:38Speaker 3: lot of them, A lot of them have indeed come around,
- 28:40Speaker 3: and to their credit, so good have they?
- 28:43Speaker 2: Some have they well?
- 28:45Speaker 1: Good?
- 28:45Speaker 2: Or have or have they come around because they knew.
- 28:49Speaker 2: Let me tell a tale of a colleague who lost
- 28:52Speaker 2: his talk show nationally because he was never Trump. I'm
- 28:55Speaker 2: not going to mention his name smart you know, longtime
- 28:59Speaker 2: Salem consumers probably know who I'm talking about. No need
- 29:03Speaker 2: to pick on him, he's gone. But he was a
- 29:05Speaker 2: never Trumper and his audience was he was hemorrhaging listeners.
- 29:11Speaker 2: I mean it was awful. His his advertisers were falling away,
- 29:15Speaker 2: His audience was evaporating, and they kept telling him, look,
- 29:19Speaker 2: all right, you don't like the guy, we get it,
- 29:21Speaker 2: but stop hammering him because you're hurting your your audience.
- 29:26Speaker 2: He wouldn't do it. He lost his show. They let
- 29:29Speaker 2: him go. Now some of these other folks, And I'm
- 29:32Speaker 2: not I like Dana Lash, I like Glenn. I'm not
- 29:35Speaker 2: trying to pick on them, But I wonder did they
- 29:38Speaker 2: do it? Did they do a come to Jesus Mark?
- 29:42Speaker 2: Did they did they do an about face on Trump
- 29:45Speaker 2: over the years because just because they saw the light?
- 29:49Speaker 2: Or do they not want to lose their gig?
- 29:51Speaker 3: What a great question. Since I can't read minds, I
- 29:54Speaker 3: don't I don't know, but I would say that in
- 29:57Speaker 3: this gig, you can't make things very long. That if
- 30:03Speaker 3: they if they've spent years feigning and faking and pretending
- 30:07Speaker 3: a Trump tolerance or even a Trump admiration, at some point,
- 30:11Speaker 3: that that that's going to collapse. So I'm going to
- 30:14Speaker 3: give them credit for sincerity.
- 30:17Speaker 2: I hope so. And I'll and I'll be I'll be
- 30:20Speaker 2: a little more cynical. I'll bet at least some of
- 30:22Speaker 2: them are just trying to hang on to their gig.
- 30:25Speaker 2: And and they think being pro Trump is good for
- 30:28Speaker 2: their bottom line and that and that and and I
- 30:31Speaker 2: and and and pardon me, but that that infuriates the
- 30:35Speaker 2: hell out of me.
- 30:35Speaker 3: But here's way I know, there's no there's no way
- 30:39Speaker 3: to know. Like I said, we can't read minds. If
- 30:41Speaker 3: there's somebody who was it was kind of anti Trump
- 30:43Speaker 3: and now they're not. You've asked the golden question, is
- 30:46Speaker 3: it is it for real or is it just performative?
- 30:50Speaker 3: When I say does it matter? Of course it matters
- 30:53Speaker 3: in terms of principle, and you'd like to kind of
- 30:55Speaker 3: know whether this is real or somebody shooting straight. But
- 30:57Speaker 3: if they're saying better things and expressing better views, Okay.
- 31:05Speaker 2: I guess. I hope you're right, and I and I
- 31:07Speaker 2: just hope. I mean, I think about people like Ted
- 31:09Speaker 2: Cruz and Lindsey Graham. Look, they but they were in
- 31:12Speaker 2: the arena against him, you know, they were presidential candidates
- 31:16Speaker 2: fighting him, right, and then once he won.
- 31:18Speaker 3: Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio, little little Marco, Little Marco Little.
- 31:24Speaker 3: We trust him for sincerity one thousand percent, don't we?
- 31:28Speaker 2: We do? Ted and Ted Cruz I do too well.
- 31:31Speaker 2: I don't know, but I'll leave it to the audience.
- 31:34Speaker 2: I just wonder if some of these folks, and again
- 31:37Speaker 2: I don't I don't have anything against them. I just
- 31:39Speaker 2: I just think that they're beware And so it kind
- 31:43Speaker 2: of ties into the pushback on Iran, because some of
- 31:46Speaker 2: these folks are pushing back against the Iran deal, and
- 31:50Speaker 2: I wonder if they don't want I wonder if maybe secretly,
- 31:54Speaker 2: way deep down, they don't want Trump to win, they
- 31:57Speaker 2: don't want him to have the success. Could that be you? You?
- 32:01Speaker 3: Of course it could, And you have provided a beacon
- 32:06Speaker 3: of eye opening wisdom on this to me on a
- 32:08Speaker 3: couple of things, because every once in a while you'll ask,
- 32:10Speaker 3: why would this person who feels this way about this thing,
- 32:13Speaker 3: you know, why why would they change their mind or
- 32:15Speaker 3: seem to betray their own interests? And the answer that
- 32:18Speaker 3: is lurking forever in the background as a possible key,
- 32:22Speaker 3: is because they just hate Trump's guts and they they
- 32:25Speaker 3: will not. I think it was fun and the Save
- 32:27Speaker 3: America Act was the one that kind of resonates with
- 32:30Speaker 3: me over the last few a few days, is that
- 32:33Speaker 3: he clearly he's a Republican, He's the Senate majority leader.
- 32:36Speaker 3: Why in the world wouldn't he before this? It's self
- 32:39Speaker 3: evidently valuable. His voters want it, even Democrat voters seem
- 32:43Speaker 3: to want it. What's the problem. And maybe the problem
- 32:46Speaker 3: is because it would hand Trump a victory. And that's
- 32:49Speaker 3: a bridge they just don't want to cross.
- 32:51Speaker 2: They just can't cross that bridge. And I and that,
- 32:53Speaker 2: and that just makes me shick to my stomach. Look,
- 32:56Speaker 2: we've got to let the game come to us, as
- 32:58Speaker 2: you like to say, We've got to see how this
- 33:00Speaker 2: all plays out. But let's remember the and I read
- 33:03Speaker 2: something today from X that people loved and I if
- 33:06Speaker 2: you follow me on X, I hope you follow Mark
- 33:08Speaker 2: at Mark Davis, follow me at Gallagher Show. I think
- 33:11Speaker 2: we both do a pretty good job of following people back.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Do you do that? Do you follow people back when
- 33:15Speaker 2: they follow you?
- 33:16Speaker 3: Oh?
- 33:16Speaker 2: No, no, no.
- 33:18Speaker 3: Why in the world would I do that?
- 33:20Speaker 2: Oh well, excuse me, Marie Antoinette. Too good for the master.
- 33:24Speaker 3: And I'm being a part of this is a bit.
- 33:27Speaker 3: But here's the thing. I followed. I follow. I don't
- 33:30Speaker 3: know how many thousands of people follow. I follow people
- 33:32Speaker 3: who I know say things that interest me and might
- 33:36Speaker 3: provide me show material, might open my eyes to something
- 33:40Speaker 3: might delight or infuriate me. My follows are me shopping
- 33:43Speaker 3: for people. It's like finding people to sit down and
- 33:46Speaker 3: have a cup of coffee with If somebody are you
- 33:49Speaker 3: telling me that if someone point my bar is.
- 33:52Speaker 2: A lot lower than yours, buddy five bars at you
- 33:55Speaker 2: follow me, I'll follow you.
- 33:58Speaker 3: Wow, you follow me off?
- 34:00Speaker 2: Now I look at the but I look at their
- 34:02Speaker 2: account and if I like what they say generally, then
- 34:04Speaker 2: I'll follow them back. But if somebody's kind enough to
- 34:07Speaker 2: follow us, and they're big fans of the show and
- 34:09Speaker 2: they love EM and M and they love me and
- 34:11Speaker 2: they love you, why not follow them back?
- 34:13Speaker 3: But I guess I don't know, And this is going
- 34:15Speaker 3: to be a dumb elitist kind of thing. And I'm serious.
- 34:20Speaker 3: That's like saying that because they listen to you on
- 34:22Speaker 3: the radio, that they should have an expectation that you
- 34:25Speaker 3: go over to their house and listen to them talk
- 34:26Speaker 3: for three hours.
- 34:27Speaker 2: No, but it's it's it's social media. It's X. I mean,
- 34:30Speaker 2: we're following each other and you're getting content and you're
- 34:33Speaker 2: looking for sources of content. What's wrong with people who
- 34:36Speaker 2: like you, who follow you? What's wrong following them back? Well?
- 34:39Speaker 2: All right, unlike King Charles over here, you can follow
- 34:42Speaker 2: me at Gallagher show and I'll do my first met
- 34:46Speaker 2: But he ain't gonna follow you back, So take your
- 34:49Speaker 2: follow and give it to me.
- 34:50Speaker 3: There are a lot of people who I have followed
- 34:52Speaker 3: who have one hundred followers in there, and you know
- 34:56Speaker 3: Nantucket or you know North Carolina or whatever you're they
- 35:00Speaker 3: have because they have on some moment done something that
- 35:04Speaker 3: did say, you know what, I think, I'm interested in
- 35:06Speaker 3: seven or eight or ten more things that they have
- 35:08Speaker 3: to say. I'm interested in two things that you have
- 35:10Speaker 3: to say on two things, and we can do them
- 35:12Speaker 3: for sixty seconds a piece if you wish. While you
- 35:14Speaker 3: were doing the last hour of your show, I took
- 35:18Speaker 3: a look at something. We can do it in detail
- 35:20Speaker 3: tomorrow if we want.
- 35:22Speaker 2: Jd.
- 35:23Speaker 3: Vance was great on the view. I stand vindicated, but
- 35:27Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 35:27Speaker 2: We don't. We didn't talk about how how did they
- 35:29Speaker 2: treat him horribly?
- 35:31Speaker 3: And he was in general sort of okay, but ultimately
- 35:35Speaker 3: horribly because it's a coven of witches in there. But
- 35:38Speaker 3: he had poise. He said things with clarity and grace
- 35:42Speaker 3: and it was wonderful. There were people who said he
- 35:45Speaker 3: shouldn't have done it. That's terrible. It's walking into a
- 35:48Speaker 3: lions den needlessly. They hate you. Would you have been
- 35:51Speaker 3: one of those people. If I asked you that four
- 35:53Speaker 3: hours ago.
- 35:56Speaker 2: Yeah, well you threw me today because I want let
- 35:59Speaker 2: me tell you why I'm a little confused about JD.
- 36:01Speaker 2: Van's popping up everywhere. You point out he's on a
- 36:04Speaker 2: book tour. Of course, well so to me, but he's
- 36:07Speaker 2: answering all these questions about Iran, which is really existential stuff.
- 36:11Speaker 2: So that's a little more important than a book tour, correct,
- 36:14Speaker 2: And so it's weird to me that he's been front
- 36:17Speaker 2: and center, and it has led me to wonder where
- 36:19Speaker 2: Marco Rubert, I understand, you know that. So I'm a
- 36:22Speaker 2: little bit thrown by that. But look, I wouldn't go
- 36:24Speaker 2: on the view. Would you go on the View if
- 36:26Speaker 2: they invited you tomorrow? Never in a million years when
- 36:29Speaker 2: I go near that cackling, that coven of hens.
- 36:33Speaker 3: If they want to have me, if they want to
- 36:35Speaker 3: have me on to say things, I believe two reasons.
- 36:39Speaker 3: Number One, the viewers might be hearing things of this
- 36:43Speaker 3: nature for the first time in their lives. I know,
- 36:45Speaker 3: and I know not that everybody has to do this,
- 36:48Speaker 3: but I think there are points to be scored for
- 36:51Speaker 3: engaging with the other side, even on the other.
- 36:53Speaker 2: Side is, well, look, I'm glad I want to see
- 36:56Speaker 2: you know what. We want to dive into that somora.
- 36:58Speaker 2: But with with with JD Van.
- 37:00Speaker 3: Last thing here. So there's two minutes on this, now
- 37:01Speaker 3: give me one or two on this and so ufc
- 37:06Speaker 3: thing happens. Did you love it as much as I did? Fly?
- 37:10Speaker 2: Could you not?
- 37:11Speaker 3: Every bit of it? Every bit of it? What was
- 37:15Speaker 3: this guy's name? Josh hokit?
- 37:18Speaker 2: One last one, last thing?
- 37:20Speaker 3: Michelle Obama's a man who's with me America. So I
- 37:24Speaker 3: saw this and here was my reaction. Oh lord, I
- 37:28Speaker 3: shook my head, I shrugged, and I got on with
- 37:31Speaker 3: my life. That's how you react to that. Very predictably,
- 37:35Speaker 3: the left and even some ostensibly on our side, Oh,
- 37:40Speaker 3: this is terrible. The White House must disavow this, They
- 37:45Speaker 3: must condemn. Shut up now if you want to go
- 37:49Speaker 3: chasing Lindsey Graham down, as someone did, and he did
- 37:52Speaker 3: a wonderful job. He said, well, we just all kind
- 37:54Speaker 3: of groaned. That wasn't in the spirit of the event.
- 37:57Speaker 3: And you know that's not something anybody wanted to have happened. Boom,
- 38:00Speaker 3: that's it. But the people demanding at the White.
- 38:02Speaker 2: House, they must disavow.
- 38:04Speaker 3: They must get just just what zip it because there's
- 38:07Speaker 3: no winning on that because of that.
- 38:08Speaker 2: But you know that, but they were going to do that,
- 38:11Speaker 2: they didn't. That doesn't surprise you, Mark, You knew they
- 38:14Speaker 2: were going to do that. He gave them. He gave
- 38:17Speaker 2: them the ammunition that they wanted to have to try
- 38:20Speaker 2: to tear the event down. It was one guy, apparently,
- 38:23Speaker 2: and the guy apparently is a real clown's evidently during
- 38:28Speaker 2: the way in he pretended to vomit and he put
- 38:31Speaker 2: apple sauce in his mouth and he actually he was sick.
- 38:34Speaker 2: So the guy's already kind of a kind of a
- 38:36Speaker 2: nut job, and then he goes out and says something
- 38:38Speaker 2: stupid like that. Michelle, Obama's a man. You know you're right.
- 38:42Speaker 3: I mean, somebody else on xit is this is this
- 38:46Speaker 3: the party?
- 38:46Speaker 2: We've become? The party?
- 38:48Speaker 3: We've become a cartoonish UFC guy doesn't make us the
- 38:52Speaker 3: party of anything. Shut up, stop well, dumbest story of
- 38:56Speaker 3: the last forty eight hours.
- 38:57Speaker 2: But an important story is going to be the way
- 39:00Speaker 2: the FBI thwarted this. And I don't want to get
- 39:02Speaker 2: out of here, Mark without a little preview, because this
- 39:04Speaker 2: is going to be a massive story, and there is
- 39:07Speaker 2: now reporting that a teenager from Ohio took his graduation
- 39:11Speaker 2: money to use to try to help fund this attack
- 39:16Speaker 2: Sunday night on the White House two fifty Freedom event,
- 39:20Speaker 2: the plan was to have drones drop explosive drones fly
- 39:26Speaker 2: into some buildings around where the event was taking place
- 39:29Speaker 2: in order to lure the audience out of the protective
- 39:35Speaker 2: perimeter of the White House and then pick them off
- 39:37Speaker 2: by snipers. Snipers were going to shoot them and kill them,
- 39:40Speaker 2: and then when that was going on, a third wave
- 39:43Speaker 2: was going to storm the White House gates. Here's Fox
- 39:46Speaker 2: News Channels Jonathan Turley reporting the way the FBI disrupted
- 39:52Speaker 2: this plot targeting the White House two fifty Freedom event
- 39:57Speaker 2: Sunday night.
- 39:58Speaker 4: This is really a cautionary tale. The fact is that
- 40:00Speaker 4: the government is not the only party preparing for the
- 40:05Speaker 4: July fourth celebrations. There are terrorist organizations that are drawn
- 40:09Speaker 4: to the same events. This was a well set out
- 40:13Speaker 4: pattern of events to maximize casualties.
- 40:17Speaker 3: And we have to keep in mind that under the Biden.
- 40:19Speaker 4: Administration, millions of unvetted people were released into this country.
- 40:24Speaker 4: It would be a very dangerous delusion to believe that
- 40:28Speaker 4: these terrorists, organizations and countries did not use that open border.
- 40:34Speaker 2: Now mark, you know the one I had a listener
- 40:36Speaker 2: text me today and say, be careful when you use
- 40:39Speaker 2: the word terrorist, because to many Americans they think Abdul
- 40:43Speaker 2: the butcher from Baghdad. This was a kid from Ohio.
- 40:47Speaker 2: These are terrorists, domestic terrorists, people from California. These are
- 40:52Speaker 2: people who and reportedly they were hung up on the
- 40:55Speaker 2: Epstein crap. Here we go again with you know, the
- 40:59Speaker 2: Democrat hoax that Donald Trump was a pedophile on Epstein Island.
- 41:04Speaker 2: They were hung up on that. They wanted to kill billionaires,
- 41:07Speaker 2: and I'm sure they wanted to kill Trump. So here
- 41:09Speaker 2: we go again. Here we go again, And I don't
- 41:13Speaker 2: I don't know how to. Not every problem can be fixed,
- 41:16Speaker 2: whatever fixing it even means. I think your solution from
- 41:19Speaker 2: a few minutes ago is a really good one. It's
- 41:20Speaker 2: called let's fix it at the ballot box by denying power,
- 41:24Speaker 2: denying the levers and rains of power. And those who
- 41:28Speaker 2: are insufficiently energized against this are those who tolerate it
- 41:33Speaker 2: for a New York Amen. Amen, let's leave on a
- 41:36Speaker 2: happy note. The look on your face when I played
- 41:38Speaker 2: Bette Midler yasmin can you queue up Bette Midler? This
- 41:42Speaker 2: is hysterical now, this is how miserable these people are.
- 41:45Speaker 2: In fact, before we play bet Bette Midler to say
- 41:49Speaker 2: goodbye for a for a Tuesday, I want to I
- 41:52Speaker 2: want to play for you. One of the rising super
- 41:56Speaker 2: not rising, I mean, one of the real stars of
- 41:59Speaker 2: Fox News is Jesse Waters. Are you liking him as
- 42:02Speaker 2: much as I am? These days?
- 42:04Speaker 3: The Five is one of my favorite hours of television.
- 42:06Speaker 3: Their chemistry is great, from the snarkiness of Gutfeld, how
- 42:10Speaker 3: they beat up on Jessica, to the sweetness of Dana Perino.
- 42:14Speaker 3: But he just the the unique character that is Jesse Waters. Apps.
- 42:18Speaker 2: Well, here he was talking about how miserable Democrats and
- 42:23Speaker 2: Trump haters are. They're just disconnected. Check this out because
- 42:27Speaker 2: this was reporting on the surveys that are coming out
- 42:31Speaker 2: showing how patriotic and how much Republicans love the country
- 42:35Speaker 2: and how unpatriotic and how Democrats loathe the country. Here's Jesse.
- 42:40Speaker 6: I was getting a bagel this weekend and we were
- 42:43Speaker 6: in line, and this woman with glasses and bad teeth
- 42:46Speaker 6: and a ponytail, here's my voice, and she turns around
- 42:48Speaker 6: and she says you and I said, uh oh, and
- 42:52Speaker 6: she says, you're the one that spews lies on TV.
- 42:58Speaker 6: I mean, I'm like Limbaugh, I'm right ninety nine point
- 43:00Speaker 6: eight percent of the time. But my wife's there and
- 43:03Speaker 6: she says, do you talk to everyone like that the
- 43:07Speaker 6: way you talk to my husband?
- 43:09Speaker 3: And she's like, go on, go.
- 43:10Speaker 7: Inside and get your bagel. And the woman starts shaking,
- 43:12Speaker 7: you know how the mentally ill they are. And she's like,
- 43:16Speaker 7: totally disconnected from reality. I don't know how to talk
- 43:18Speaker 7: to people like miserable, angry, crazy. And you look at
- 43:24Speaker 7: what's going on here. I mean, we've just defeated the
- 43:26Speaker 7: world's number one state sponsor a terror. We're about to
- 43:29Speaker 7: sign a peace deal to get all their uranium.
- 43:31Speaker 5: We just had.
- 43:32Speaker 7: Thousands of Americans Shanny USA on the White House lawn
- 43:37Speaker 7: at the greatest UFC fight I've ever seen, sevent tkos
- 43:41Speaker 7: in a row. While they have the Marine band playing
- 43:44Speaker 7: all the intro songs. Well, they have the US Air
- 43:46Speaker 7: Force flying overhead to celebrate America through fifty the greatest
- 43:50Speaker 7: country in the world. At the same weekend, you have
- 43:53Speaker 7: all of these Europeans who the liberals love here visiting
- 43:58Speaker 7: talking about how the It's is the greatest country in
- 44:02Speaker 7: the world. Have you seen these videos of the French,
- 44:04Speaker 7: Germans and the Dutch, like astounded about our landscape, our food,
- 44:10Speaker 7: our trucks, our freedom, how friendly the American people are.
- 44:15Speaker 7: And it's like the United States is also like, wait
- 44:17Speaker 7: a second, we take all this stuff for grinned.
- 44:19Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe we are great.
- 44:21Speaker 7: The Europeans are saying we're great. I think it must
- 44:24Speaker 7: be true. So the Knicks trump snow Jack's Major championship.
- 44:30Speaker 7: Think about the run we're on. We have the hockey
- 44:32Speaker 7: team winning the gold.
- 44:34Speaker 2: I mean, we have crime down.
- 44:36Speaker 7: The border sealed. We have the UFO.
- 44:39Speaker 2: Files coming out.
- 44:40Speaker 1: Jessica, this is a.
- 44:42Speaker 7: Generational run we're on. I think you should just be
- 44:45Speaker 7: happy to be alive.
- 44:46Speaker 2: Don't you love it? We're on a generational run.
- 44:49Speaker 3: Mark ab So. And it's so easy to be downtrodden,
- 44:52Speaker 3: and so easy to be slump shouldered and focus on
- 44:55Speaker 3: what's negative and doom. Scroll for hours and listen. We're
- 44:59Speaker 3: always to have problems, God himself tells us in this
- 45:02Speaker 3: life you will have trouble. But if you just take
- 45:05Speaker 3: a look at the ledger of things that aren't going
- 45:07Speaker 3: well and things that are. It's an amazing time to
- 45:10Speaker 3: be alive.
- 45:11Speaker 2: Well, And speaking of amazing times to be alive, now,
- 45:15Speaker 2: Bette Midler has won Tony Awards, She's been nominated for
- 45:18Speaker 2: Academy Awards. I mean, what is she She's eighty, I think,
- 45:21Speaker 2: and she's had a lifetime of success. Here's what she
- 45:25Speaker 2: was reduced to. They had a counter protest during the
- 45:29Speaker 2: UFC White House two fifty Sunday night. De Niro stood
- 45:33Speaker 2: up and famously gave all the reasons why he can't
- 45:36Speaker 2: love America, which is essentially because America loves Trump, so
- 45:39Speaker 2: he hates America. Here's Bette Midler singing with some backup singers.
- 45:44Speaker 2: I played this about one hundred times on my show
- 45:46Speaker 2: yesterday and Mark, Yes, I wanted to torment you as a
- 45:50Speaker 2: way to say goodbye today. I give you Bette Midler
- 45:53Speaker 2: at the counter protest Sunday night. Oh you've got you
- 46:01Speaker 2: fascist bound. Hey there, I am fascist.
- 46:06Speaker 1: Let me put you straight.
- 46:08Speaker 7: When you come for the rest of us, we'll fight
- 46:11Speaker 7: you at the gate and you.
- 46:12Speaker 3: Will lose, you fascist bawlu.
- 46:16Speaker 2: You will lose, you fashioner.
- 46:20Speaker 3: First of all, you just thought It's funny. When you
- 46:21Speaker 3: said Bett Middler was eighty, I thought that was hyperbolic
- 46:24Speaker 3: exaggeration of the man. She can't be that she's exactly eighty.
- 46:27Speaker 3: So you nailed off. So when you played this for
- 46:29Speaker 3: me on the radio show this morning, and I kind
- 46:31Speaker 3: of came an ear worm, Oh you fascist bone to lose?
- 46:34Speaker 3: I thought it did some pink haired idiot write that,
- 46:37Speaker 3: you know earlier that day that that apparently has some history.
- 46:40Speaker 3: That is apparently a Woody Guthrie record, Unfortunate early forties.
- 46:44Speaker 2: It's that comedy He's a communist, that comedy, that Pinko,
- 46:47Speaker 2: that Pinko comedy, and.
- 46:48Speaker 3: He had he had a used to have a guitar
- 46:50Speaker 3: with a bumper sticker on it that said this this
- 46:52Speaker 3: machine kills fascists or something like that. So thanks Bet,
- 46:57Speaker 3: Thanks Mike, Thanks everybody.
- 47:00Speaker 2: Be Tuesday. Glad you're not in jail, Glad you're freed.
- 47:03Speaker 3: Did we provide twice the value, twice the content twice
- 47:06Speaker 3: the entertainment was today twice is good to make up
- 47:09Speaker 3: for yesterday's complete disaster?
- 47:11Speaker 2: Well? Can I say this? We had twice as many
- 47:13Speaker 2: people watching the YouTube channel live that we did very
- 47:16Speaker 2: last time. So things are going well. Keep you're going
- 47:19Speaker 2: Happy Tuesday. I like our chances. Let's the game come
- 47:23Speaker 2: to us. I love you,
