0:40
Speaker 2: as you got your bowling shirt on today. I like that.
0:42
Speaker 3: It's kind of it's sort of the Tony soprano thing,
0:45
Speaker 3: just sort of the vibe. And then about his size too,
0:48
Speaker 3: so I.
0:49
Speaker 2: I like the I like the Well, we're going to
0:51
Speaker 2: fix that on Monday. I can't wait. We're going to
0:52
Speaker 2: start with our first sponsor on Monday, which is pretty cool.
0:55
Speaker 2: And you know Ronda did it too. You know, you
0:59
Speaker 2: know how successful some of these this great program PhD
1:01
Speaker 2: Weight Loss can be. So we'll tell you about that
1:03
Speaker 2: starting on Monday. But I kind of thought you looked
1:05
Speaker 2: like Charlie Sheen in uh visiting and a two and
1:09
Speaker 2: a half Men danger Will Robinson bad comparison. So anyway,
1:14
Speaker 2: we had a countdown as we're getting to tweak this
1:16
Speaker 2: thing and people are joining us live on YouTube and
1:19
Speaker 2: hello everybody, welcome to the eminem Extra. So we had
1:23
Speaker 2: a countdown, but we started the clock a little. It
1:26
Speaker 2: was like too much time on the clock. We were
1:28
Speaker 2: ready to go. Eric Hanson says, well let's go now.
1:32
Speaker 2: I said, well, wait a minute. It says three minutes
1:34
Speaker 2: on the clock.
1:35
Speaker 3: Right, you don't have the Artemis on the pad and
1:37
Speaker 3: launch it with a minute and a half to go.
1:38
Speaker 2: You lead to zero zero zero, Thank you. You don't launch.
1:42
Speaker 2: You don't launch. Well, as Eric just said, this ain't Artemis,
1:45
Speaker 2: this is not We're a lot of things.
1:49
Speaker 3: We ain't.
1:49
Speaker 2: We ain't the Space Shuttle, we ain't the Artemis. But anyway,
1:53
Speaker 2: I made us wait because the countdown. I wanted to
1:56
Speaker 2: be true to the countdown today. So thanks for hanging
1:59
Speaker 2: in there with us. We're But there's.
2:00
Speaker 3: Something cool about this because just as the public glands
2:03
Speaker 3: onto YouTube to watch M and M Extra at eleven
2:06
Speaker 3: Central noon Easter and every day with slavish devotion and
2:09
Speaker 3: devote and we much appreciate it. Sitting here in my
2:13
Speaker 3: room in North Texas, in your room, and you wrap
2:15
Speaker 3: up here in the Tampa Bay area. Usually it fires up,
2:19
Speaker 3: the video connection fires up. I see that slide, the
2:23
Speaker 3: AI slide off you and me, and says eminem extra
2:26
Speaker 3: and we just kind of get going. When we get going,
2:28
Speaker 3: it might be eleven o'h one, well, it might be
2:30
Speaker 3: eleven oh two, it might be eleven o'clock thirty seconds.
2:33
Speaker 3: But the countdown thing is really cool because that way
2:36
Speaker 3: when people fire it up, that they will know exactly
2:40
Speaker 3: when the magic begins.
2:42
Speaker 2: Right. But I want the magic to begin though, with
2:44
Speaker 2: your blessing and your permission. I want to start at
2:47
Speaker 2: noon Easter in eleventh Central, So don't I don't want
2:49
Speaker 2: to wait a couple of minutes. So Yasmin's said, no problem,
2:52
Speaker 2: she can fix the she can adjust the clock, the
2:55
Speaker 2: countdown clock, so that it times out. I mean we
2:58
Speaker 2: could be a few seconds late, I mean well and
3:01
Speaker 2: thirty seconds. But but like again, just remember that could
3:04
Speaker 2: be the new name of the podcast. This ain't the Artemis,
3:07
Speaker 2: this is not control, all right. We got a lot
3:14
Speaker 2: of breaking news to do. You get to today We
3:16
Speaker 2: had President Trump moments ago in the White House saying
3:19
Speaker 2: that we're gonna hit Iran hard again. Today, we had
3:23
Speaker 2: the Carmelo Anthony verdict yesterday. Nobody's better at this and
3:27
Speaker 2: anything Texas related than you. In fact, I saw you
3:29
Speaker 2: on Will Caine. I'm so proud of you. Well that's
3:33
Speaker 2: that's turning into a really regular gig for you, isn't it.
3:36
Speaker 3: They know where I am and they send a they
3:39
Speaker 3: send a driver. So who am I to say? No?
3:41
Speaker 2: Now? Now I have to say this. Can we pull
3:44
Speaker 2: the curtain back for just a moment about your purchases
3:46
Speaker 2: on the will kinin show?
3:47
Speaker 3: Of course?
3:48
Speaker 2: Are you honestly making them send you a car service
3:52
Speaker 2: for Are you kidding me?
3:54
Speaker 3: Of course? I do not have a Diva DNA in me.
3:57
Speaker 3: I'm amused that I get ton car.
4:00
Speaker 2: I called BS. I called BS, I'll let you. Are
4:04
Speaker 2: you taking a car service to downtown Dallas?
4:07
Speaker 3: They offered it, and I remember the first time anybody
4:12
Speaker 3: ever did that for me. I felt so free through
4:15
Speaker 3: I felt like, oh, come on, I got a car.
4:17
Speaker 3: I'm a functioning human being. I can thank you, but
4:21
Speaker 3: from you know, from from my neck of the Wilny
4:24
Speaker 3: home to to to downtown Dallas if they if I
4:29
Speaker 3: don't have to schlep all the way down there and
4:32
Speaker 3: park and mess around on Maine and Elm and you
4:36
Speaker 3: know where where where that location is, if I don't
4:40
Speaker 3: have to do that, then I'm absolutely going to take
4:43
Speaker 3: them up on it. So I do. It also enables
4:45
Speaker 3: me to just tweet like a son of a gun
4:48
Speaker 3: on the way down there, do a little prep, do
4:50
Speaker 3: a little research, grab half a podcast, you know, talk
4:53
Speaker 3: to Lisa, make a couple of polls, whatever. So I do, indeed,
4:57
Speaker 3: and it's it's one of two or three guys. I
4:59
Speaker 3: kind of know who they're sending most of the time now,
5:02
Speaker 3: and it's it's a world I'm guessing you've experienced way
5:04
Speaker 3: more than me.
5:05
Speaker 2: Well, yes, absolutely, But let me tell you why I've
5:09
Speaker 2: experienced it. And this is such a fascinating thing because
5:11
Speaker 2: because car services are a big deal in New York,
5:14
Speaker 2: because New York is a different animal, driving driving from
5:18
Speaker 2: a grapevine to downtown Dallas a little.
5:22
Speaker 3: Different than navigating the brons to battery parks exactly.
5:25
Speaker 2: Or even in midtown just driving around Eighth Avenue. Well,
5:28
Speaker 2: here's the thing. Back in the day when I was
5:30
Speaker 2: a Fox News contributor. They had a huge controversy and
5:33
Speaker 2: they decided they were spending too much money nationwide on
5:37
Speaker 2: car services for their contributors. It's a lot of money.
5:41
Speaker 2: So and I remember they had a whole big cutback
5:43
Speaker 2: and a big drama. Well, obviously Fox is number one,
5:46
Speaker 2: They're making gazillions of dollars. They obviously have it budgeted.
5:49
Speaker 2: But here's my little advice to you. If if you
5:52
Speaker 2: don't have that expense, you'll make yourself even more valuable
5:56
Speaker 2: to Will Caine and to the Fox News Channel family.
6:00
Speaker 2: Other words, if they say, hey, Mark is willing to drive,
6:02
Speaker 2: but you're but but by the way, as you say it,
6:04
Speaker 2: the more I think about it, parking is the pain
6:06
Speaker 2: in the neck. You're so right rich, top out of
6:09
Speaker 2: the car. But if you but if you, if they
6:11
Speaker 2: know you won't charge them for the car, not you
6:14
Speaker 2: charge them, but there's not that expense, I'll bet you
6:16
Speaker 2: they'll use you even more. But but look, I don't
6:18
Speaker 2: think they're they're they're using you plenty.
6:21
Speaker 3: I ain't suffering. I got family members I don't see
6:23
Speaker 3: as much as I see Will Kine's.
6:26
Speaker 2: And he's a great guy.
6:27
Speaker 3: Isn't he. He's wonderful. Their team is great, it's super
6:30
Speaker 3: it's always a pleasure to go in there, and it's
6:32
Speaker 3: it's just a joy. And yesterday, oh my, although yesterday
6:35
Speaker 3: I almost got bounced. They were in full breaking news mode.
6:38
Speaker 3: We got attorneys. I had Jonathan Turley sitting there, you know,
6:42
Speaker 3: ten minutes before me from wherever he is, and it
6:45
Speaker 3: was and they were like, you know, tap of their
6:46
Speaker 3: says't go. I think we're gonna be able to do this.
6:48
Speaker 3: And bottom line is, it's not like I burn gas money.
6:51
Speaker 3: If I got to get in the car and go home,
6:52
Speaker 3: no skin off my nose. I'd rather be on than
6:54
Speaker 3: not beyond. But it was a decision made with about
6:57
Speaker 3: thirty seconds to go to let me hop on there
6:59
Speaker 3: for those last four or so minutes. And I had
7:01
Speaker 3: a lovely time talking about which happens a lot in
7:03
Speaker 3: that business over there. And I will tell you that
7:06
Speaker 3: one of my sons, my maga son, I've got one
7:08
Speaker 3: out of four who's on board and loves what and
7:11
Speaker 3: loves you, loves what we do. He's big on the
7:14
Speaker 3: podcast and he said, I just saw Mark on Will
7:17
Speaker 3: Kine show. He texted me, I said, oh, I know
7:19
Speaker 3: he does will show a lot and and Micah said, well,
7:22
Speaker 3: now you know, if Mark was really a friend, they'd
7:26
Speaker 3: figure out a way to plug the M and M
7:27
Speaker 3: Extra podcast on the Work Show on Fox News.
7:31
Speaker 2: But he makes a point. I'm just selling. I'm not
7:33
Speaker 2: trying to I'm not trying to pressure you.
7:34
Speaker 3: But if there's a way beyond that, just on the
7:36
Speaker 3: on the lower third thing whatever, they all do it
7:41
Speaker 3: instead of Dallas talk show host.
7:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean why not maybe you could mix it
7:46
Speaker 2: up a little bit and just gonna plan a seed
7:48
Speaker 2: courtesy of Micah Gallagher. Not my idea, but my sho.
7:51
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna make them drive me.
7:55
Speaker 3: I'm going to make them plug the podcast. A wardrobe
7:58
Speaker 3: budget cannot be far.
8:00
Speaker 2: You got to get a clothing allowance. You got to
8:02
Speaker 2: get the red and don't let any red M and
8:05
Speaker 2: MS be in the in the jar.
8:09
Speaker 3: Contract.
8:10
Speaker 2: Look, I had so much fun as a Fox News contributor,
8:13
Speaker 2: and I decided one day after a guy dumped a
8:16
Speaker 2: milkshake on my head in Midtown Manhattan, I don't want
8:19
Speaker 2: to do TV anymore. I just did want to do it.
8:21
Speaker 2: I don't, I really don't in the climate we're in,
8:25
Speaker 2: and look, feel free to call me a chicken or
8:27
Speaker 2: a coward. I don't like getting recognized. I don't like.
8:29
Speaker 2: In fact, I've got a colleague had to go to
8:32
Speaker 2: the Lower Manhattan studios. I'm not going to mention his
8:35
Speaker 2: name because I don't want to embarrass him. But he
8:37
Speaker 2: did not want He and the train down to Lower
8:41
Speaker 2: Manhattan is.
8:42
Speaker 3: A piece of cake.
8:43
Speaker 2: It's the AC or the E train. It's so convenient,
8:45
Speaker 2: it's so easy. He said, I'm not going to get
8:48
Speaker 2: on a subway in New York where people know what
8:51
Speaker 2: I look like, because he said, I could absolutely get assaulted.
8:55
Speaker 2: And that's a look after Charlie Kirk. We all have
8:58
Speaker 2: to kind of think that way, don't we. I hate it,
9:01
Speaker 2: but it's real we do. And this is in pardon
9:05
Speaker 2: the way this sounds. This is someone who actually, appreciably,
9:08
Speaker 2: could actually be recognized, for whom that expectation was not unreasonable. Yes,
9:13
Speaker 2: that is somebody who's very high profile and spends a
9:16
Speaker 2: lot of time on TV.
9:17
Speaker 3: Then, and I would ask that person what I ask
9:20
Speaker 3: of you? Because you throw me stories like this every
9:22
Speaker 3: once in a while too. What in the world are
9:25
Speaker 3: you doing on the subway in the first place.
9:27
Speaker 2: Well, but I will tell you that as somebody who's
9:30
Speaker 2: not on Fox News and doesn't have the high profile
9:35
Speaker 2: visual presents that I used to have. I take the
9:38
Speaker 2: trains all the time.
9:39
Speaker 3: Now I love this which and listen and I know,
9:43
Speaker 3: let's you know, hashtag blessed. Please, We're not, you know,
9:48
Speaker 3: with dog food. But I think I get it if
9:53
Speaker 3: I did it as much. When Lisa and I go
9:55
Speaker 3: and we go for a week or something, we're uber
9:57
Speaker 3: and all over the place, usually walking more than you
10:00
Speaker 3: thirty blocks because it's a MiG walk in town. But
10:02
Speaker 3: if indeed transportation on a daily basis was a really
10:05
Speaker 3: frequent thing, I probably would subject myself to the submit
10:08
Speaker 3: probable me.
10:09
Speaker 2: Let me let me tell you what. I often stay
10:11
Speaker 2: in midtown Manhattan, and I'll go down to our studios
10:15
Speaker 2: at one eleven Broadway in Lower Manhattan, right by a
10:18
Speaker 2: block away from Wall Street. Okay, if I and I've
10:21
Speaker 2: done both, I taken and I take. Look, I'm the
10:23
Speaker 2: king of Uber. I go. When I see you Sunday
10:25
Speaker 2: and Monday, I'm going to take an Uber into Dallas
10:28
Speaker 2: from the DFW Airport. I'm I'm I'm an Uber fanatic,
10:32
Speaker 2: and it's it's one of those things that is so convenient.
10:35
Speaker 2: So I uber everywhere. If I Uber from Midtown Manhattan
10:39
Speaker 2: to Lower men to our studios on a weekday morning,
10:43
Speaker 2: it might be forty eight forty nine minutes maybe closely.
10:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, But but you're doing the Uber Black month.
10:51
Speaker 2: That was a comfortable car. Although Uber Black in New
10:54
Speaker 2: York ain't Uber Black in Dallas. Suber Black in New York.
10:58
Speaker 3: It was a black ninety four Pinto.
11:01
Speaker 2: It's a Vega. It's a Vega that with a bad muffler.
11:04
Speaker 2: No that it's a whole different experience. But anyway, the
11:07
Speaker 2: train it's like thirteen minutes. You, Hobby, it's like two
11:11
Speaker 2: bucks or three bucks or whatever they what are they
11:14
Speaker 2: charged now? Eric, what's the metro card for three dollars?
11:17
Speaker 2: Three dollars? By the way, the Uber maybe sixty fifty
11:22
Speaker 2: sixty dollars. That's real money.
11:25
Speaker 3: No matter who you are, you can't do the story.
11:27
Speaker 3: Can can the New York landscape that you and I
11:30
Speaker 3: both really really love, can it? Will it ever be
11:33
Speaker 3: able to tolerate the robocabs that are your passion?
11:37
Speaker 2: You could never do that in New York I don't
11:39
Speaker 2: think so. I mean, it's too much, it's too congested.
11:42
Speaker 2: I don't think you could pull it off. Although maybe
11:45
Speaker 2: they're good. The technology is really really good. And by
11:50
Speaker 2: the way, the last Uber visit or Uber journey I
11:54
Speaker 2: took from LaGuardia to Midtown Manhattan last week. Ready for this,
11:58
Speaker 2: I'm not Uber and it's were black, but it's still
12:01
Speaker 2: you know, one hundred and ninety seven dollars.
12:05
Speaker 3: To get the helicopter for that.
12:07
Speaker 2: Less than that the helicopters, but it doesn't go to
12:09
Speaker 2: Loguardia anymore, goes to JFK. But one hundred and ninety
12:14
Speaker 2: seven dollars including and I've got to take some time
12:17
Speaker 2: to look this up, a twelve dollars booking fee. What
12:21
Speaker 2: the hell's a twelve dollars booking fee? What I know?
12:25
Speaker 2: And it had a little you know how it has
12:26
Speaker 2: a little a question mark next one you can click
12:29
Speaker 2: on that it gives you the explanation. Well, in some
12:31
Speaker 2: jurisdictions there's a fee required because of the city regulations
12:37
Speaker 2: and taxes, and twelve dollars just to get the Uber car,
12:42
Speaker 2: and then almost two hundred dollars for what is about
12:45
Speaker 2: I think it's a three mile as the crow flies
12:47
Speaker 2: ride between the Laguardian and Midia. God help us out.
12:50
Speaker 2: All right, let's let's start with something volatile today. I
12:54
Speaker 2: was a little apprehensive about my my impatience with the
12:58
Speaker 2: Iran war, and I came in to the studio this morning.
13:01
Speaker 2: I said, you know what, I'm just gonna let the
13:03
Speaker 2: let the chips fall where they may. I'm going to
13:05
Speaker 2: throw it out there and say enough already, mister president,
13:09
Speaker 2: with the we're two three days away from a solution.
13:12
Speaker 2: We're two to three days away from an end to this.
13:14
Speaker 2: And he has said that now on a number of occasions.
13:17
Speaker 2: And I sense that even other broadcasters are getting impatient.
13:22
Speaker 2: Last night, Laura Ingram Jesse Waters. In fact, let's listen
13:26
Speaker 2: a little bit to uh to to Laura's frustration that
13:30
Speaker 2: that she's feeling over uh over the war in Iran.
13:35
Speaker 2: And by the way, quick, ps Yasmin, who does such
13:38
Speaker 2: a great job with all of our video. She's our
13:40
Speaker 2: video producer. She just messaged me she saw a way
13:43
Speaker 2: moo in Brooklyn this week. I guess they are almost well,
13:47
Speaker 2: we'll get into one of the burrows. Can Staten Island
13:50
Speaker 2: be far behind? No, you never know. Okay, Queen's is coming.
13:53
Speaker 3: All right.
13:54
Speaker 2: Here's Laura Ingram on Fox News last night expressing frustration
13:59
Speaker 2: over the seemingly never ending war in Iran.
14:04
Speaker 4: Aron's foreign minister just posted on x that the US
14:07
Speaker 4: opted to test our determination leave our region if you
14:12
Speaker 4: want to be safe, and said that Iran's military will
14:15
Speaker 4: hit back. We keep hearing their military is destroyed, obviously,
14:18
Speaker 4: But if their military is destroyed, how are they continuing
14:23
Speaker 4: to hit us? I mean an Apache helicopter what costs
14:25
Speaker 4: about forty six million dollars?
14:28
Speaker 2: I mean, mark pretty reasonable question, if they're not a
14:31
Speaker 2: terrible question? How is their military attacking us?
14:34
Speaker 3: I started as I had people asking me that on
14:36
Speaker 3: the show. It's like, wait a minute. We were told
14:37
Speaker 3: fourteen times that their military was obliterated. How are they
14:40
Speaker 3: shooting stuff at ships in the straight before moves? And
14:43
Speaker 3: that guy, that foreign ministry guy, the say ed Ragachi,
14:46
Speaker 3: whatever his name is. Yeah, he's got a little bit
14:48
Speaker 3: of a little bit of snark to him. A couple
14:49
Speaker 3: of days ago he said, we prefer the language of diplomacy,
14:53
Speaker 3: but we speak other languages as well. It's like ooh, so,
14:57
Speaker 3: but like you all right, so let's let's take this
14:59
Speaker 3: in steps. We were sort of singing from the same
15:02
Speaker 3: hymnal in the last twenty four hours of saying, mister President,
15:05
Speaker 3: we love you, we support the goal, we support the
15:07
Speaker 3: war effort, we recognize its vast military success so far,
15:11
Speaker 3: and we really do believe that down the road success
15:14
Speaker 3: is possible. But could you maybe the president who cried
15:18
Speaker 3: wolf is getting a little old. Every two or three days,
15:21
Speaker 3: we're moments away from a signature, moments away from a
15:24
Speaker 3: memo of understanding. How many times do you say that
15:26
Speaker 3: and have it not happen before credibility starts to erode?
15:30
Speaker 2: That's the question. And I got to be blunt here
15:33
Speaker 2: as a Trump supporter, and I felt like naughty today.
15:37
Speaker 2: I felt guilty. I was critical, dirty. I feel like
15:41
Speaker 2: I've gone off the reservation year I haven't. I want
15:45
Speaker 2: him to win. I want his policies to succeed. But
15:48
Speaker 2: can we be blunt here? He's looking bad? He's looking bad.
15:52
Speaker 2: Jd Vance is not looking good. Jd Vance keeps promising
15:55
Speaker 2: a resolution is right around the corner. It's coming two
15:59
Speaker 2: days away, three days away. So I'm at a point
16:03
Speaker 2: now where I think Americans are ours are proclaiming, you
16:07
Speaker 2: know what, or get off the pot with Iran. It's
16:10
Speaker 2: time to either finish it or and I would say,
16:13
Speaker 2: God forbid, pull out. If we pull out, we have
16:17
Speaker 2: we are we gonna look like failures.
16:20
Speaker 3: It's not Afghanistan.
16:22
Speaker 1: You know.
16:22
Speaker 3: The Iranians are probably hoping that we do, and maybe
16:25
Speaker 3: they know we'll leave behind billions of dollars of material
16:28
Speaker 3: like we did in Afghanistan. It will not have been
16:31
Speaker 3: a failure because their military is largely degraded. I think
16:36
Speaker 3: their nuclear ambitions have been set way back on their heels.
16:40
Speaker 3: So it's a seafer world and a safer region right now,
16:43
Speaker 3: no matter what. If we pulled out tomorrow. But wow,
16:46
Speaker 3: what a bad look. The optics of that are terrible.
16:49
Speaker 3: So we have two possibilities on the plate here, and
16:52
Speaker 3: both of them are pretty hard to swallow. One is
16:54
Speaker 3: the one we just described, which looks like a give up,
16:57
Speaker 3: and the other one is to either let Israel go
16:59
Speaker 3: or partner with them and just flatten what's left of
17:03
Speaker 3: this country. And that's eight I just wow, and flatten.
17:07
Speaker 2: And to flatten what's left, let's let's be let's be
17:10
Speaker 2: let's exercise a dose of humanity here for a moment,
17:14
Speaker 2: we're talking Hiroshima na Kasaki.
17:17
Speaker 3: We're talking about nuke.
17:20
Speaker 2: No, no, I don't either. And I and by the way,
17:21
Speaker 2: I got carried away this morning on the show and
17:23
Speaker 2: I said a bomb, and I thought, wait, mane, I
17:25
Speaker 2: don't mean a nuke. I'm not saying nuclear. However, we
17:28
Speaker 2: have a military might that's capable of flattening Iran without
17:32
Speaker 2: a nuke. Do you know how many thousands and thousands
17:36
Speaker 2: of men, women and children are going to get killed?
17:39
Speaker 2: But on the other hand, how long can this last?
17:43
Speaker 3: Mark?
17:44
Speaker 2: It threatens to cripple our chances of winning in the
17:48
Speaker 2: mid terms, and we must win. On November the third,
17:52
Speaker 2: I went to the grocery store last night. I about
17:55
Speaker 2: fell on the floor. You've got a whole Food's there, right.
18:00
Speaker 3: And I know I never go there.
18:03
Speaker 2: I very rarely go there. Oh yeah, I'm a public
18:07
Speaker 2: skuy or when I'm in South Carolina les guy. No, No,
18:10
Speaker 2: I don't like No, I don't know. It's all tofu stuff.
18:13
Speaker 2: It's all it's all organic. Where's the diet coke isle
18:17
Speaker 2: in Holford's? Please? You know, I don't see where the
18:21
Speaker 2: doritos are, So no, I got them. But I was
18:23
Speaker 2: there yesterday to get some stuff and I was it
18:25
Speaker 2: was on the way home. I couldn't believe it. There
18:28
Speaker 2: was there was like a bottle of honey thirty seven dollars.
18:32
Speaker 2: Grocery prices are unbelievable. And I started looking at all
18:36
Speaker 2: the prices up and I thought, look like you said,
18:39
Speaker 2: we're not in a coal mine. You and I are lucky,
18:41
Speaker 2: we're blessed. But think about somebody living paycheck to paycheck.
18:45
Speaker 2: They must get a lump in their throat mark just
18:47
Speaker 2: to go to the grocery store.
18:49
Speaker 3: And you're in Tampa. It's not I mean, you're not
18:51
Speaker 3: in New York or Detroit, Washington, or Los Angeles or
18:54
Speaker 3: San Francisco. You're in a pretty what a red state
18:58
Speaker 3: and what should what should be a pretty moderately placed
19:01
Speaker 3: priced place to live exactly.
19:03
Speaker 2: So this is what has to change. And once the
19:06
Speaker 2: strait of horror moves is open, then these prices we
19:09
Speaker 2: are told are going to plummet. Grocery prices, energy prices,
19:14
Speaker 2: gas prices. We're seeing a little bit of oil price
19:17
Speaker 2: reduction right now. But Americans, I think have had it Mark,
19:21
Speaker 2: And does that mean we're just so super impatient. It's
19:25
Speaker 2: been four months. It hasn't been four years. But do
19:29
Speaker 2: you think we're right to say enough already finish the job?
19:34
Speaker 3: There are two reasons why we are Wars take some time.
19:37
Speaker 3: I mean, we didn't take care of World War One
19:38
Speaker 3: or World War two, or any of the wars we've
19:41
Speaker 3: won or lost in a matter of just a few months.
19:45
Speaker 3: But at the outset, it was President Trump who essentially
19:48
Speaker 3: told us this shouldn't take long. And it is President
19:51
Speaker 3: Trump who has told us with increasingly vexing regularity, that
19:56
Speaker 3: we're just about done here, give me another couple of days.
19:59
Speaker 3: So when you throw those those things in, that will
20:01
Speaker 3: add to the public's impatience, and impatience is something we
20:05
Speaker 3: can scarcely afford.
20:07
Speaker 2: Right. Incidentally, there's a robust debate going on on the
20:11
Speaker 2: chat room. And you better be careful, Captain cavan or
20:14
Speaker 2: you better be careful. Mm who says that? Mike Gallagher says,
20:17
Speaker 2: h h too much. I'll uh uh you, I'll block you.
20:21
Speaker 2: I block your ass working blue on the podcast, I'll
20:27
Speaker 2: block your butt. Is that better? Now? Captain Kavanaugh said
20:31
Speaker 2: really interesting feedback. He said Iran is fighting for their existence.
20:35
Speaker 2: They're used to the suffering one oil and gas spikes
20:39
Speaker 2: in America. The US economy is done. Captain Caveman is right.
20:42
Speaker 2: And Captain Caveman said, we lost against Iran before it
20:47
Speaker 2: even started. If anyone bothered listening to the experts, they
20:50
Speaker 2: would know this well, I would, respectfully and and and
20:54
Speaker 2: civilly say no, we didn't. We didn't lose in Iran.
20:58
Speaker 2: We have decimated Iran's military capabilities largely, if not sufficiently.
21:03
Speaker 2: And on the and we also Trump is committed to
21:07
Speaker 2: preventing them from getting a nuke. What's Captain Caveman going
21:10
Speaker 2: to say if Iran nuke's Israel, Oh well, too bad,
21:15
Speaker 2: too late. I mean, Mark, there's we're talking about an
21:20
Speaker 2: existential crisis with these lunatic mullas getting their hands on
21:24
Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon. Correct, we are.
21:26
Speaker 3: And since they are that bent mentally, this is I've
21:31
Speaker 3: drawn this historical comparison. On their worst day, the Soviet
21:34
Speaker 3: Union did not want to die. China is a huge
21:38
Speaker 3: evil empire, but they do not want to die. They're
21:41
Speaker 3: not ambivalent or Lucy goosey about dying. This regime might
21:46
Speaker 3: be seventy two Virgin shake hands with Allah.
21:48
Speaker 2: We're kind of on board.
21:49
Speaker 3: You throw that in with with some of the more
21:52
Speaker 3: extremeist bent of this and the notion of going up
21:55
Speaker 3: in a ball of fire up against the Great Satan,
21:59
Speaker 3: it makes them almost impossible to bargain with. And it's
22:03
Speaker 3: been a real challenge finding the language they understand. So
22:07
Speaker 3: I I just I pray that we can because it's
22:11
Speaker 3: been a it's been a tough slug.
22:13
Speaker 2: We we we gotta get we got to get to
22:15
Speaker 2: a solution. Incidentally, Uh, well, I'm looking at some of
22:18
Speaker 2: the comments on our Youtubeah. A lot of people in
22:20
Speaker 2: there today too, a couple hundred people, I think, and
22:22
Speaker 2: it's building. We appreciate you joining us. Get into the
22:24
Speaker 2: live chat. Brett Wrights over Mike's suggestion that we introduced
22:28
Speaker 2: the eminem podcast on your frequent Will Kaine appearances on
22:31
Speaker 2: Fox News Channel, Brett writes, don't listen to him, Mark,
22:35
Speaker 2: he just wants the intro on the Will Kine Show
22:37
Speaker 2: to read Mark Davis, friend of Mike Gallagher.
22:39
Speaker 3: Exactly right.
22:42
Speaker 2: I'm just look podcast.
22:47
Speaker 3: May I there's something I think you had one to
22:51
Speaker 3: cant remember what it was, but here the we do
22:53
Speaker 3: it on radio, but maybe even more generously and more uh,
22:57
Speaker 3: with the greater liberty here in the podcast world where
23:01
Speaker 3: you kind of admit something, where there's an admission you
23:03
Speaker 3: kind of feel like you have to make. I have
23:04
Speaker 3: one today, and it's about Graham Platner, who I have
23:09
Speaker 3: a while ago, was fairly tired of thinking about and
23:12
Speaker 3: talking about. It's like, okay, I get it, deeply troubled soul,
23:15
Speaker 3: some real tricky behavior there in the past, maybe not
23:18
Speaker 3: even all that recent in the past, bad views, horrible ideas.
23:22
Speaker 3: I hope he loses to Susan Collins, but I totally
23:25
Speaker 3: know he's going to win the primary. And he did.
23:28
Speaker 2: Did you see?
23:29
Speaker 3: Did you was without breaking a sweat landslide? Did you see?
23:34
Speaker 3: His portions of his acceptance is victory speechly did oh?
23:39
Speaker 2: Don't tell me you're going to start warming up to
23:41
Speaker 2: Graham Plattner. I don't know what they're talking about. Redemption Mark,
23:47
Speaker 2: Come on, are you really are you gonna start okay?
23:50
Speaker 2: Are you going to go squishy on a Nazi lover?
23:54
Speaker 3: Is it possible to not go squishy if you simply
23:58
Speaker 3: say that? Because what I played is a little about
24:01
Speaker 3: a minute mint and a half of him talking about
24:03
Speaker 3: how I ain't perfect and I got problems, and I
24:05
Speaker 3: got things on. All of the problems are right, he he,
24:09
Speaker 3: And this is probably why I need to talk to you,
24:11
Speaker 3: because it's not like I'm all of a sudden going, hey,
24:13
Speaker 3: let's vote for him, or even hey, I'm convinced of
24:16
Speaker 3: his complete redemption, because I'm not. But he certainly said
24:20
Speaker 3: the right things and and that kind of messaging is
24:24
Speaker 3: the kind of redemptive story that people who have stumbled
24:28
Speaker 3: need to tell. And whether it's him or listen, have
24:31
Speaker 3: we talked about the Hunter Biden twitter feed lately?
24:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, But if you look at the list of Graham
24:36
Speaker 2: Platiner Tran treasures, it is it is one of many.
24:42
Speaker 2: This is what I Yeah, this is not a one off.
24:45
Speaker 2: This is a guy. I mean some of it is
24:47
Speaker 2: so graphic and gross. Even on the podcast where I
24:50
Speaker 2: joke about going blue, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna
24:52
Speaker 2: repeat it. This is a here's what I know about him.
24:55
Speaker 2: The New York Times last week reported that there are
24:58
Speaker 2: women who claim that but when he put his hands
25:01
Speaker 2: on at least one of them, shook them and grabbed
25:04
Speaker 2: them so violently he left bruises. That's called physical assault. Now,
25:09
Speaker 2: the last time I checked the Democrats were all about
25:12
Speaker 2: relieve women, you can't cross that line. You're not gonna
25:16
Speaker 2: physically assault. But it's one of many things. This is
25:19
Speaker 2: a guy who bragged about joining the military just so
25:22
Speaker 2: he could kill people. This is a guy who said,
25:25
Speaker 2: if anybody broke into my house, I'll raid round.
25:29
Speaker 3: In a gay way, not in a gay way. I'm dominant.
25:33
Speaker 2: I'm dominant, so I'm gonna I'm gonna rape, but not that.
25:36
Speaker 2: But Mark, this wasn't twenty years ago we're talking about.
25:40
Speaker 2: This is the last few years. This is a year ago,
25:43
Speaker 2: two years ago, three years ago. No, he's a bad guy.
25:47
Speaker 2: He's a lunatic. And I'm telling you the fact that
25:50
Speaker 2: Maine Democrats are willing to kind of give him that
25:53
Speaker 2: kind of grace that you just what was the deal?
25:56
Speaker 3: Usually if there is a viable alternative and at least
26:00
Speaker 3: get some traction. What was it was so magical about him?
26:03
Speaker 3: Was it the.
26:05
Speaker 2: Farmer vibes and Collins? They want they hate Susan Collins.
26:09
Speaker 3: But you know, I mean a Democrat alternative could I
26:12
Speaker 3: couldn't somebody's head, Jennet Mills.
26:14
Speaker 2: But there wasn't any competition. There wasn't any competition. Janet
26:19
Speaker 2: Mills dropped out. She dropped out, and so there wasn't
26:23
Speaker 2: anybody even on the on the ticket. And they like
26:26
Speaker 2: the fact that they think this is the way to
26:29
Speaker 2: win men over. Well, he's he's got a scruffy, scruffy beard.
26:34
Speaker 2: Here's the word talks. He taught what.
26:36
Speaker 3: Here's a word. You're there, there's a word. I'm about
26:38
Speaker 3: to say, good, finish your sentence.
26:39
Speaker 2: Well, go ahead, because tall Ico isn't exactly a guy
26:45
Speaker 2: that screams, you know, kind of a macho manly man,
26:49
Speaker 2: I mean. And they think this guy with the gruff
26:52
Speaker 2: voice and the scruffy beard, and he always wears the
26:56
Speaker 2: apparel that looks like it's hunting gear and all that.
26:58
Speaker 2: They think. Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas herself said, this is my
27:02
Speaker 2: kind of man, is my kind of guy. This is
27:05
Speaker 2: their whole image of this guy. And they're they're going
27:08
Speaker 2: to turn a blind eye to all the terrible things
27:11
Speaker 2: that they used to be against, they used to.
27:13
Speaker 3: Hate, misacuse because he brings what what is the characteristic
27:17
Speaker 3: that's that's sort of the word of the moment. It
27:19
Speaker 3: is authenticity. He has. It's invoked I guess about Hunter Biden.
27:26
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's and somebody made a pretty good point the
27:29
Speaker 3: other day. Isn't it possibly authentic without having a whole, huge,
27:32
Speaker 3: long laundry list of terrible things about you? Is it?
27:36
Speaker 3: Does authentic have to mean that you're just rotten to
27:39
Speaker 3: the core in twenty five different ways? But that is
27:42
Speaker 3: kind of the vibe of the moment. The flavor of
27:43
Speaker 3: the month is people who and I kind of get
27:45
Speaker 3: it because your average politician is so canned, so predictable,
27:50
Speaker 3: so whitebread, so boring. He ain't those things and that
27:55
Speaker 3: brings a kind of an authenticity benefit that may have
27:58
Speaker 3: helped him enormous.
27:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, people who beat wives and women and bruises, that's authentic.
28:04
Speaker 2: Nazis were pretty authentic when people when people were gassed,
28:09
Speaker 2: they were authentically murdered by the Bible, there's definitely an
28:15
Speaker 2: authenticity to evil, evil, evil, and that's what this guy is.
28:19
Speaker 2: And look, we cannot and I'm going to give you
28:22
Speaker 2: want to. I want to finish with a brand of
28:24
Speaker 2: evil that blows my mind. I get political rhetoric, and
28:30
Speaker 2: I understand Democrats, Republicans, conservatives, liberals, even white black With
28:35
Speaker 2: the Carmelo Anthony verdict, after Carmelo Anthony was convicted yesterday
28:39
Speaker 2: and given a thirty five year prison sentence and was
28:43
Speaker 2: and is eligible for parole in seventeen. He's nineteen now.
28:48
Speaker 2: He's nineteen now, so he could still be a young
28:50
Speaker 2: man after he killed Austin metcalfh I got to play
28:57
Speaker 2: one of the cruelest things I've ever heard come out
29:00
Speaker 2: of a politician's mouth. I know, Jasmine Crockett is sassy, and.
29:05
Speaker 3: She's spicy and authentic.
29:08
Speaker 2: Oh she's authentic. Here's saying, let me give you some authenticity.
29:13
Speaker 2: I give you yet, Jasmine Crockett on her podcast after
29:18
Speaker 2: the guilty verdict of Carmelo Anthony, brace yourself for what
29:23
Speaker 2: you're about to see and hear that the Jasmine Crockett
29:27
Speaker 2: said about the family, the grieving family, the loved ones
29:31
Speaker 2: of Austin Metcalf.
29:34
Speaker 5: Black women, especially black women who have black male children,
29:42
Speaker 5: live in fear, in agony every single day, a fear
29:48
Speaker 5: in agony that I promise you the Metcalfs probably never
29:53
Speaker 5: spent a day live in that way. And we're gonna
29:57
Speaker 5: have to have just some real conversations about rais.
30:01
Speaker 2: Can you imagine black women and their children live in
30:05
Speaker 2: much more agony and fear than the Metcalfs mark. Do
30:11
Speaker 2: you think that Jasmine Crockett doesn't understand that there could
30:14
Speaker 2: be no worse agony than burying your child?
30:18
Speaker 3: One presumes, And this is a cousin, kind of a
30:20
Speaker 3: distant cousin. Is something we did earlier this week where
30:23
Speaker 3: Scott Pelley talked about getting fired at sixty minutes as
30:26
Speaker 3: being like having a spouse murdered. What Yeah, proving that
30:30
Speaker 3: even a blind pig can find an acorn, I stumbled across.
30:34
Speaker 3: I scribbled a couple of notes yesterday as all this
30:38
Speaker 3: was playing out, from Jasmine to Dominique, Alexander to others
30:41
Speaker 3: who are mouthing off and making trouble outside the courthouse.
30:45
Speaker 3: This will take about a minute, and I'd like to
30:46
Speaker 3: know what your thought is and when you wrap on this.
30:48
Speaker 3: If you want to If and I did this on
30:51
Speaker 3: the show this morning about eight forty five, you got
30:53
Speaker 3: to go get the podcast at six a kyamyanswer dot
30:55
Speaker 3: com and listen to it as I did it on
30:57
Speaker 3: the radio. If I want it to destroy Black America,
31:01
Speaker 3: if I woke up one morning and said, you know what,
31:04
Speaker 3: here's a little project I'm going to destroy Black America.
31:07
Speaker 3: Here's what I would do. I would raise kids with
31:10
Speaker 3: no hope that outside the doors is just a racist
31:13
Speaker 3: hell hole. You can't get a break, the country hates you,
31:17
Speaker 3: and there's just no chance for you to have success.
31:20
Speaker 3: I would find offense in everything. I would find racism
31:23
Speaker 3: everywhere to create a culture of grievance and victimhood. I
31:27
Speaker 3: would teach the children that it's cool to be armed
31:30
Speaker 3: to the tief guns and knives and other badass tools
31:33
Speaker 3: to make clear how tough you are. Instead of showing
31:36
Speaker 3: the toughness that's born of character and achievement hard work,
31:40
Speaker 3: I would teach them a twisted concept of respect which
31:43
Speaker 3: justifies attacking someone the millisecond they look at you sideways,
31:47
Speaker 3: rather than showing patience and goodwill. If I really wanted
31:51
Speaker 3: to destroy Black America, I would poison the minds of
31:53
Speaker 3: the adults into thinking that all black defendants are innocent,
31:57
Speaker 3: and any attempt to bring consequences to any black criminal,
32:00
Speaker 3: it must be the man, it must be the system,
32:03
Speaker 3: it must be racism. And that would guarantee an unending
32:06
Speaker 3: sense of grievance and hopelessness. And if I wanted to
32:09
Speaker 3: truly destroy Black America. I would teach people to rail
32:13
Speaker 3: and protest loudly against any consequence that would befall any
32:17
Speaker 3: black defendant. And I would encourage people to fight back
32:20
Speaker 3: against a system that supposed to be there to protect everybody.
32:23
Speaker 3: And finally, if I really wanted to destroy Black America,
32:27
Speaker 3: I would teach a lesson at all times blame. Why.
32:30
Speaker 3: Don't ever look in the mirror, don't ever look at yourselves,
32:32
Speaker 3: don't ever look at how to change the culture. It's
32:35
Speaker 3: always the man, it's always the system, it's always the
32:37
Speaker 3: white people. There's no better way to drain incentive and
32:41
Speaker 3: self awareness from a population than to make everything somebody
32:44
Speaker 3: else's fault. If I wanted to destroy Black America, Mike,
32:48
Speaker 3: that's what I would do. I obviously have no such desire,
32:51
Speaker 3: but there seem to be people who do, and sadly
32:54
Speaker 3: some of them marble.
32:55
Speaker 2: Well, that's perfectly put. And let me end with an
32:59
Speaker 2: essay that I saw on X from Jordan Wells, a
33:02
Speaker 2: social media influencer who wrote on X, I'm a black man,
33:06
Speaker 2: a proud conservative, and a follower of Jesus Christ. When
33:10
Speaker 2: I see protesters outside the Collin County Courthouse chanting f
33:14
Speaker 2: white lives. After Carmelo Anthony's sentencing for murdering Austin Metcalf,
33:20
Speaker 2: my soul grieves, this isn't justice, this isn't community, This
33:24
Speaker 2: is demonic hatred, plain and simple. All lives are made
33:27
Speaker 2: in the image of God, every single one, black, white, brown,
33:29
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. Celebrating the loss of any innocent life or
33:33
Speaker 2: cheering on evil because of skin color is straight from
33:36
Speaker 2: the pit of hell. And here's the truth. They don't
33:39
Speaker 2: want you to say out loud. When black conservatives Christians
33:42
Speaker 2: are truth tellers like me call this out, we get
33:46
Speaker 2: labeled traders, uncle Tom's or betrayers of the community. He said,
33:51
Speaker 2: let them talk. I'd rather be disliked by some in
33:54
Speaker 2: my own community than stand before a holy God and
33:57
Speaker 2: be found guilty of excusing evil, hating my neighbor, or
34:01
Speaker 2: twisting justice for racial points. My allegiance is to Jesus
34:05
Speaker 2: Christ first, not color, not tribe, not political pressure. And
34:09
Speaker 2: then he quotes Isaiah chapter five, verse twenty, woe to
34:14
Speaker 2: those who call evil good and good evil. He concludes
34:18
Speaker 2: by saying, I choose truth over tribe, light over darkness,
34:24
Speaker 2: God over man. Isn't that brilliant isn't that beautiful?
34:28
Speaker 3: And it gives me hope, and it gives us a
34:31
Speaker 3: chance to tie a bow around this in a kind
34:33
Speaker 3: of an upbeat, hopeful way, because what a tragic story
34:35
Speaker 3: in so many ways, with a lot of bad things,
34:37
Speaker 3: a lot of people mouthing off in bad ways. But
34:39
Speaker 3: they did not rule the day. We did not have rioting.
34:42
Speaker 3: These people were mouthy, and the cameras and microphones came
34:45
Speaker 3: to them like moths to a flame, as they will do,
34:47
Speaker 3: but they did not swing or sway the day. I
34:52
Speaker 3: think this is a dwindling thing. The system worked, a
34:55
Speaker 3: jury saw through the all the fog and relied on
34:59
Speaker 3: the facts and the evidence. Prayers for everybody all around.
35:02
Speaker 2: Amen, Well put there. By the way, a quick thank
35:05
Speaker 2: you to I got a compliment this morning from somebody
35:08
Speaker 2: who sent an email and said, boy, the eminem extra

Speaker 2: looks great, the background, the graphics. A big salute to
35:15
Speaker 2: that's to Yasmin and to Tracy and to Eric. They
35:18
Speaker 2: work so hard on this and we're loving it. We're
35:20
Speaker 2: loving the way this thing is going. We're having so
35:22
