  Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good. I'm still basking in the glow
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of my first official Waymo Tampa Bay ride yesterday. I
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: got a little notification. Oh, my.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: They've come to his town.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: They've come to Tampa, and they came right by the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: airport where I was in my office yesterday. Got a
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: little ding-ding notification. Waymo's now in your area. I thought, ooh,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: all right, let me try it. So I got out
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the app. I had an errand to run.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, so did you just for
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the sake of doing this, did you go take a
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: ride that you didn't even really need to take?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: No, no. You just wanted to do it. No, no.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I was going to fire up the roadster, the station wagon,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and go downtown. And that's about a 30-minute, 25, 30-minute
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: ride on a normal day. Now, if I were Ubering it, $ 30, $ 40,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: maybe $ 50, right? Sure. Bing, bing. I do my little
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Waymo app. Up pulls the car. I had Tracy record it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: We're going to do a big feature of it on
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the show today.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: The driverless car pulls up to the radio station.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: A white Jaguar with a big, huge dome. Looks like
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: something out of Lost in Space. Yep, pulls up. MG
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: initials are flashing on the dome for me. I get
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: in the back seat. Hello, Mike. I said, well, hello.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, dummy, I'm talking back to it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: It's like I do with Chad GPT. It's my friend.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I talk to these people. Or this thing.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Did you thank it?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I did. I said, great ride. No, I got in
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the thing, and you got to put your seatbelt on.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: You push the little button, start ride. Whoop, off we go.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: 25 minutes into downtown Tampa for me to run my errand.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Guess what? $ 14. 37. That's incredible. That's so great.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: But what's not so great, every Uber driver right now
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: listening to you and me, Every taxi rider, every car
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: service driver, they all know that– and I do hate
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: it for them.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: But it is coming. And I hate it at the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: expense of these hardworking men and women who make a
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: living this way. Unfortunately, the technology is here. I was
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: talking to a friend, and I said, you know, this
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: is so cool. I got all kinds of work done.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: In the 25 minutes, I'm in the back seat, and
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: it's smooth, and the car changes lanes, and it does
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: everything right.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: You could have gotten the work done with a human driver.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Well, for about 10 times the cost.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, there you go.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: All right. All right. So I'm in the back seat
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: doing all the work. I'm on the phone. I was
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: trying to call you. You were completely ghosting me yesterday
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: because I wanted to FaceTime you. I was going to
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: show you in real time what was going on. Oh,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that would have been awesome. I know. So anyway, I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: said to a friend, I said, you know what? Someday
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I want one of these. I want to buy one.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: And we laughed. We thought, wouldn't that be cool? Why
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: couldn't you– A Waymo. I want to buy the car.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I want to have a... I want to have a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: driverless car. I want to have a car where I.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: But you can have a driverless car with a Tesla.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: You can have a driverless car with.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Not... No, Mark. It's the whole... It's not the same.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: With a Tesla, you're in the front seat. You're driving.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: You still got to pay attention. You still... You can't
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: take your eyes off the road.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: You can't... So you can buy a driverless cab.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know that you can yet. I don't know
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that you can. But what I'm saying is... That's my point.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: It's coming. I think it's coming. And someday... Americans are
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: going to be driving around. Incidentally, it's enormously safer. These
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: cars are safe. They're good. They react. They respond. I
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: had a guy yesterday, a motorcycle, some hotshot motorcyclist, some kid.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: He kind of cut in front of the car. Car
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: immediately slowed, swerved, got out of his way. So it's safer,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: it's more economical, and it's much more relaxing. Do you
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: know what it's like? How would you like to get
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: out of the Davis compound at 3 in the morning,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: whenever you go to work, you get in the backseat
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: of a car, you're doing all your show prep, it
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: drives you right to the radio station? Mark, this is happening.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: This is the future. And all the safety thing, because
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the comedy bit that I've been doing forever is that
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I'm going to get in the thing and it'll drive
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: me off a bridge forever. Or that it'll hit somebody.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: And I still don't know how these things, because the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: eyes on this car, they notice traffic lanes, stoplights, stop signs.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: They do all those things. But the cop waving people
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: through if there's been an accident, I have no idea
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: if the car can even do that. But even with
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: all those things all put together in a bowl, as
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a net function, the robo driver, of course, is going
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: to be safer. There was a story. that the car
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: was going along and something dropped off the back of
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: a truck at the same time that somebody to the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: right rear in the blind spot of the car was
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: coming up too fast, a human driver would have absolutely
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: hit something.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: And this driverless car just went bing, bing, bing, immediately
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: evaded everything.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: It pivoted. Well, there's going to be, and look, mistakes
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: are going to happen. It's not infallible. But the net
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: positive is that fewer mistakes will happen with one of
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: these autonomous cars than when you're driving. And I can't
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: even get over how just relaxing and experienced it is.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: So anyway, that was, we're going to, we're going to.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Last thing on this, because it is societal. I'll tell
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: you who told me after I tell you what he
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: told me.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Somebody told me probably more than 10 years ago, before
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: any of this became a big wave, told me that
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: America's future will involve very few people, owning their own cars.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: And it will be through an app. There'll be so
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: many of them that you're within, there'll always be a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: car within three minutes of wherever you are. And I scoffed.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I said, please, I'm from Texas. I'm a man. I
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: always want my own car, which, by the way, is
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: exactly how I feel. But should I be beaten into
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: submission on this? Maybe. The person who told me that,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: my old lib sparring buddy on some of the old
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Flashpoint segments on Channel 8, Domingo Garcia. famous abogado here
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: in Dallas. He said, well, this had to be 14,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: 15 years ago. He might have been a visionary on that.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: The notion of personal car ownership will go the way
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: of the dinosaur.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I got you. Well, and here's a text from North Texas,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: very optimistic about Waymo in the future. Texas writes, Dallas writes,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Waymo is great until it stops on a live railroad
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: track and you're running for your life. There is that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: All right. Speaking of your friends and from Domingo to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: somebody else I want to bring up, you and I
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: are going to talk today to a fascinating guy on
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the Eminem Extra podcast named Manning Kimball. Now, he owns
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the radio station that we're on in Rock Hill, South Carolina, WRHI.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: He's the grandson of Admiral Husband Kimmel, who has been
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: unfairly maligned over Pearl Harbor. He was scapegoated for Pearl Harbor.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: He got dereliction of duty, they said, and he didn't
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: do anything wrong. He's been exonerated. And the Kimmel family
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: has been trying for 50 years to just get a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: change of rank that would basically exonerate him because of
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: what he suffered through after Pearl Harbor. And it's a
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: fascinating story. There's a great book that he's about that
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about on the podcast. A Matter
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: of Life. A matter of honor is– that's all they're
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: asking for, the Kimmel family's– and no president. They do
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: not want money.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: They do not want money. They're not looking to turn
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: this into a lottery ticket.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: No.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: And you may be thinking, listen, the admiral has been–
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the admiral, excuse me.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Admiral. Admiral. Admiral.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Has been dead for a long time. What does it matter?
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Legacy matters. Honor matters. And that's why this fight continues.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: The fight continues. And guess what? I'm about to throw
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: you a curveball of all curveballs. For 50 years, the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Kimmel family has been trying to get president after president,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: defense secretary after defense secretary, anybody. They won't even look
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: at it. They don't even give the guy, the family,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the time of day. And Manning now feels Trump might
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: be our answer. The Trump administration, the Biden administration, he
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: said he saw Joe Biden in person. He knew him
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: from Delaware. And Biden said, wasn't this fixed already? And
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: they didn't do anything about it. Big shock. Biden was
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: wondering who ordered the veal cutlet, what was on the menu.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: There am I.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so Trump is their maybe last hope. That would
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: be awesome. Well, guess who's real close with the Secretary
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: of War? Guess who could get this done? And you
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: know this is right up. Pete Hegseth's alley, right?
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: This is something like a thing to honor an honorable
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: man and to write a smear that was wrongly done
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: in the fog of war, and we're all real angry
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: about Pearl Harbor, which I totally understand, but it's like,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: we've got to find something. There are still people walking
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: around who think that FDR knew about it, which is ridiculous,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: in advance, which is ridiculous, but who's the connection here?
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: You want to be a hero? You want to know
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: who the connection is? You know who's really tight with
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth? Your best friend Your admirer, Fox News Channel star.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Will Cain.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Will Cain. Will Cain.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Well, sure, because Will's been on Fox for a long time.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: The reason everybody knows about Pete Hegg said this when
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: he did a weekend show on Fox.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: There you go. So Mark Davis, you have a chance
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to change some history here. You've got an opportunity.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Let me put that in their camp.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're only over there every other day.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I had a day off yesterday.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: You're a regular. They're going to rename that show with
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the Will and Mark show. I better watch my back.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I've got to be careful. M and W. So the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: next time you see Will Kane, can you please bring
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: this up to him?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I'll give him the book and throw him a little
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: email and say, listen, if you've been talking to Pete.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Not only the book, but Manning has a one sheet
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: that he gave to me to try to see if–
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I think people think I hang out with Trump every weekend,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and believe me, I don't. But I want to talk
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: about Trump here in just a moment, too, because something
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: pretty amazing happened last night. Say that to him. one sheet,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and I'll relate that to them. If you can get
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: that to them and get that into Will Kane's hands,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: you just may be the hero of the year. And
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you already are my hero. And let me talk about
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a heroic president last night. Did you hear what happened
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: in the detail? He got in last night. What were
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: you doing at 3 this morning?
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Sleeping.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Sleeping. You and me both. We're snoring, right? Three in
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the morning. Trump is just now getting off the plane
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: after two rallies. He's now crisscrossing the country for the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: next 32 days. This man is indefatigable, as the word goes, right? Yesterday,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: he had a rally in Oklahoma. The weather was bad.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And they were worried about security. Because they couldn't fly
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to Oklahoma, and they said, nope, security-wise, we're not. Trump said,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: how fast can my limousine go?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: You know, you would call it by its name. The Beast.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: How fast can the Beast go?
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: How fast can the Beast drive? They said, well, Mr. President,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: go close to 100 miles an hour. He said, we're driving.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: He wouldn't let down the thousands of Oklahomans.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: It's okay. Give the quote. It's PG-13, but that's all right.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Get your asses in that car. We're going to Oklahoma. Yes!
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: That's our president. That's our president. And the crowd went wild.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I may get T-shirts made. Get your asses to Oklahoma.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Exactly right. I mean, how great. That's the spirit, though.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: You know what this is starting to feel like? And listen,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: that time he came up short when he was sick
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: with COVID and he's campaigning in the final weeks. The
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: stadiums were filled. Biden's in the back parking lot with
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: six cars honking. This is the home stretch, my man.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: We got 32 days. And I'm telling you, there is
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a vibe shift. CNN is saying it. Even the Democrats
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: are starting to say, you know, it's going to happen.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: You know, it's going to happen. They're going to rig
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the election. They're starting to predict that the Republicans are
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: going to cheat November 3rd. You want to know why?
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: They're seeing internals. I like our chances. I was going
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: to wonder if I was going to get the Mike Gallagher.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I like our chances. We're not supposed to win, but
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I think we very well may. It's in our hands.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: It is in our hands. Operation Prove Them Wrong is underway.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: We're going to prove the pollsters wrong, the media wrong,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the troublemaking obstructionist Republicans wrong.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: It is in our hands to do it. And if
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: we are focused and if we got our act together,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: we can. I am choosing to believe.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Show up, show up, bring granny, bring everybody, bring your friends,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: bring your neighbors and let's go vote. I love you.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Have a great weekend. I'm taking, I'm going, you've got
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a couple of days off coming up, so I'll be,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I'm taking a few days solo for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: but we'll be back together again on Thursday. But today,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: don't forget this great conversation with Manning Kimmel, a problem
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: that Mark Davis might just be able to solve. I'm
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: heading to a place where there's some sweater weather and
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: which I'm kind of excited about. I want to be
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: a little chilly and, And then back Thursday from New
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: York City. I'll see you from there Thursday, Friday. And,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: you know, here we go. Off we go through October,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: my friends.
