  Speaker 1: Very special market for me, because this is really where
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I kind of started. Nineteen eighty nine. And I had
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a guy come up to me last night and say, Mike,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I sent you over. You and your wife were over
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: in a restaurant over at McAllister Square in nineteen ninety two,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and I said, that's Mike Gallagher, the guy listened to
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: on the radio. That's strung and because I sent you
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: over a drink and he jokingly said, you remember that, well, yes,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: thank you. Maybe not thank you, sir. Remind me what
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I had for breakfast today. But man, but think about
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: that Mark nineteen ninety two. He's doing the math. What
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: is that thirty four years ago?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Nothing I love more than seeing people who are like
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: thirty five saying my dad introduced me to your show.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: You know, it's the worst. That is not a common best.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: It's the best thing.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: That's don't tell us that. Don't and don't tell me
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: you grew up listening to me. Don't tell me that
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: when you're forty. Yeah, when you're seventy, I grew up
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: listening to you. I was a kid back in the day.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: But listening to Mike. But it's so fun to be
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: reminded of this personal connection we have to so many people,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and all throughout North Texas are Mark Davis fans who've
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: been listening to you for decades. Uh, And it's just
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: a it makes us feel so so grateful that we
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: get to do this for a living. H I did say, though,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I posted on X today, there are mornings when I
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: roll out of bed, I log onto the X app,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I see insanity and I think somebody slipped me crazy
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: pills during the night, and I want to go back
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: to bed, pull the covers up over my head and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: call it a day. Did you know that if I
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: said to you, Mark, are you out of your cotton
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: pick and mind? That would make me a racist? Have
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you seen the drama coming out of the woman in Virginia?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Have you followed this? Well?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: It rears its head every once in a while, So
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: let me share it you.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: This you haven't heard about Jen Kiggins. Now, she's a congresswoman.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: She's facing calls now to resign. Resign. Ye, she agreed
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: with the radio host because the radio host I don't
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: even I didn't even recognize his name. Where's this? Where's
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: this Virginia? The host's name is Rich Herrera her Rich,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I have not okay me either, But he's interviewing her,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and he says, in a fit of peak, if Hakeem
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Jeffries wants to be involved in Virginia politics, then I
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: suggest he does what a bunch of New Yorkers are doing.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Leave New York, move down here to Virginia. Run for
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: office down here. You can represent us. If not, get
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: your cotton picking hands off of Virginia.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Oh man, it's not even losing your cotton picking mind.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: It's cotton picking hands and it's a black guy.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: She says, we're tempting. The congresswoman who represents Virginia's second
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: district said, that's right. Ditto, Yes, yes to that. Now,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: here's why, here's where the crazy pills are are. Now
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you cringed when you heard it sitting there? You know what?
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I cringe at the declaration that that's a racist phrase.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Well, of course it's stupid. It's just a bit baked
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: into the language for a cotton picking is a modifier
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you can use. Lost your cotton picking mind, get your
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: cot picking hands off this. Well, of course, not by intent,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: is there a racial.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Of course, not by intent? What does that mean?
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Did some did that person mean anything racist by it?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I have no reason to believe they did none. But
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: people are always looking for anything but black black hands
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: used to pick cotton.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: This is what enables.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Was it Serena Williams to stand in a hotel hallway
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: in New York and look at it kind of an
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: old school, you know, historic theend hotel with a really
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: beautiful glass vase with some cotton bowls and cotton plant stuff,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and go.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: This is a problem. It's not. No, it's not. Mark.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: You should read the about this story. Jake Sherman over punchbowl.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Oh that's a racist phrase. And here's a Republican agreeing
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: with an obvious racist phrase. I mean, I'm reading I'm
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: reading this story here at Reuter's that says the term.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Now here's what Reuter's writes. The term cotton picking is
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: considered offensive due to the US history of slavery, when
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: cotton was picked by enslaved people. So now the congresswoman,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: now she's got to fall all over her self. Apologizing.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: She issued a statement saying the radio host, I can't
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: stop laughing. I'm sorry. I mean, look, racism is real.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to minimize this. But to make this
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: an issue. Here's her apology. The radio host should not
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: have used that language, and I do not and I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: did not condone it. It was obvious to anyone listening
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that I was Agreen Hakeem Jeffrey should stay out of Virginia. Well, yeah,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: but why did you throw the radio host under the bus?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: That's all he was trying to say, lady.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: The proper response is cotton picking has been a modifier
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: in the English language forever. There's clearly not one racist
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: or even racial intent that I had to it. Everybody
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: should get on with your lives. And in fra did slaves?
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Did slaves pick cotton? Of course they did. You know
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: who else picked cotton? A whole lot of white Southerners,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: you know what. One of them was named Stanley green Davis.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: My dad, my dad and his siblings were sharecroppers in
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: northern North Carolina and Northampton County and in the nine
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: thirties and forties, cotton, peanuts, and my dad picked a
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: ton of cotton, thank you very much.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, what happened is they thought they got her.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: They think they've got her, and by the way, they
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: may have this may do her.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: In She's in a tight race, don't get into terrorists,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: don't surrender to terrorists.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Of course not. It's the goofiest thing. I'm reading this
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: this morning. I really thought it was the Babylon b
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I thought, well, no, this is like, come on, there's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: no way this is an actual issue. I'm going to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: try today on the show to find one caller who's
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: offended if I were just I mean, what if I'm
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: talking about Elizabeth Warrenck. Can I say we caught her
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: red handed? Line? Again? I mean, is that allowed? Can
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: you say red handed? Indian giver? Do you remember the list?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Years ago? Somebody in theater gave me a list of
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: phrases things are the expressions that are now awful? For example, well, look,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you can't say master bedroom anymore. If you're a realtor
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: or master bedy. You can't say master key master and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I and I remember when somebody kept calling it and
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I was had my house listed or whatever, the condo
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and I kept saying. They kept saying primary bedroom, primary bedroom.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I said, do you mean the master bedroom And the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: lady said, oh ye, dive dive fire in the hole
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and the race, and the realtor just she turned white
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: as a ghost. Pardon the expression. She said, there you go.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: She said, you can't say master bedroom. I said, what
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: do you mean, you can't say master bedroom? What do
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you call it? Why do you call it a primary?
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And I really didn't know what. I thought she had
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: had a stroke. She said, master is a connotation of
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the slave master relationship. What Mark well So?
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: And the silliness is there's good news behind the silliness.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: It's because they've run out of real racism defined not
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: that there's not occasional patches and smidgens of actual racism.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: It's a human flaw, you can find it. But the
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: real problems are largely solved. So that means they have
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: to fill their days with this nonsense in order to
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: establish the false narrative that America is still kind of
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: a racist hellhole, kind of a cauldron of prastudice that
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: still requires their mighty hand to correct.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And there are really unintended positive consequences to all in
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the insanity we're witnessing what they're trying to what they
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: try to do in Virginia. The latest scheme, Oh, let's
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: let's lower the mandatory retirement age for all the Supreme
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Court justices. In virgin and you get rid of them
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: all and replacing with young progressives. And now they're apparently
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: backtracking off of that. They're now even even even the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: wine Mom Governor Spanburger is saying, no, no, no, that's
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: a bridge too far. We're not going to do that.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: But what's happening is it's demonstrated they're doing an unwitting
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: service to the whole country by revealing how hostile they
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: are to the most essential constitutional checks and balancing. They
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: don't care about it. There their power. I hope it matters.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I hope Americans are paying attention.
