Are Republicans Trying to Lose in November? · The M&M Experience

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: I'm watching all these news stories, Mike, Indiana, West Virginia, Ohio,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the flooding, and I know that, you know, God doesn't
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: even things up in this way. Could we borrow ten
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: percent of that and take the flood staying away from
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: them and maybe you know, hit my yard or something.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: We're looking at a month of no measurable rainfall.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: It's crazy here. Yeah, it's hot everywhere. It's been hot
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: in Florida even late high nineties here this week ninety five,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: ninety eight. But we're getting a lot of rain, a
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: lot of a lot of thunderstorms and some some afternoon showers.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Kind of typical Florida weather. But yeah, it's it is
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: hot all over the country. It's hot Primary day here
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: in Florida, Alaska. We got Shenanigans going on. You got
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Dan Sullivan versus Dan Sullivan. You know, you got some
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: of these races. You got a socialist here in Florida.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Gonna be a test there for one of the socialists.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: You see how they wind up doing. And then of
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: course I got to grapple with you teeing it up
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: for me because I heard your tea's going into this
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: segment about the Keith self mosque ban. Ye, we just
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: don't want to win the midterms, do we We just
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: don't want to win. We just don't want to wa
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: We want to tell independence and moderates and people democrats
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: who we could win over. Yeah, we're gonna We're gonna
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: go all in here. We're gonna go big or go
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: home a mosque ban. I mean, are you kidding me? Mark? Seriously?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Would this be an example of one of those things
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: that is a conservative passion that we can talk about
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: it's merits or lack of in a minute. I think
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you might feel a little differently about it than I do.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: There are certain things that we can have on our agenda,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and it's a bold and on this and ten other things,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: but there's some of them that if we float them now,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: we might get fist pumping joy out of it for
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: ten minutes, but ultimately it might not be helpful in November.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Is that kind of where you're going?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: One hundred percent? I mean one hundred percent. I mean,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I've got I've got big concerns about sharia law, I've
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: got huge concerns about the direction of the country under Democrats.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: But I just don't think we have to have any
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: self inflicted wounds right now, let them, let them implode.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: My goodness. They raised money. They're raising money on the
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: left for a woman who absolutely flat out admits she
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: strangled all three of her children, one by one. They've
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: raised almost a million dollars for her by her fans.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: It's like Carmelo Anthony, he murdered that kid, six hundred
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: and thirty thousand dollars or more raised by his fans.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Luigi Manngione fast fans, and these eight Republicans, Mark, this
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: is this is the party of political the the unspeakable
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: evil over twenty five that. I don't know if you
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: follow this Lindsey Clancy story. Yes, she's of course claiming
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: postpartum depression. She's a monster, She's a she's a demon.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: She three three children with her bare hands, one by one,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and over twenty five thousand fans of hers have now
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: raised now it's over eight hundred and thirty five thousand dollars.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: The go fundme account has been flooded with positive messages
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: from her female supporters who are convinced that she's somehow
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the victim. Here and Matt Walsh had a really good
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: take on this. Mark. Matt road.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I was going to go there, go go for it.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Go yep, And I get it. It's the whole debate
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: about postpartum depression, because that's the defense. And but this
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: is a story that's even more complicated than that. Some
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: people are accused it. I think her ex husband of
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: having done it. But here's what Matt Walsh writes, unspeakably evil.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: This whole thing has been eye opening in the worst way.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I'll never be able to unsee thousands of women rallying
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: to the defense of a demon who strangled her children
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: to death. One of the darkest things I've ever seen
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: in my life. He says, between this and the Carmelo
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Anthony fundraiser, we're getting a glimpse into the kind of
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: cultural rot that cannot be easily waved away. Is any right,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Mark he is?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: It is another Matt Walsh post that I thought you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: were headed toward, because he sparked a reaction that may
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: actually lead some of the ladies not to root for
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: or become fans of this murdering mom, but to lean
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: toward her side in a certain way. The Matt Walsh
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: point on that, and this sounds very Matt Walshe and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I think there's a point could be made, and that
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: is that show me one hundred women with postpartum depression,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: and some of them is His point is some of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: them may have something clinical, something chemical, but most of them,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: quite frankly, just can't handle motherhood. It's the first time
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: there's a life out there that means more than your own.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe you weren't mature enough to have babies in the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: first place. It's really hard, it's really demanding, and you're
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: just freaking out of What you really need to do
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: is just gut up, face life and do the job. Well,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: that did not go over big a lot of women
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: who said postpartum is real, and of course it's real.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Of course it's real. He's it made him seem really
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: dismissive about postpartum in general, which had a lot of
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the And again, it's a particularly twisted logic that takes
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you from disagreeing with that to siding with the mom
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: in this case.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: But that's just it. That's just it. That's just it.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: The leap from disagreeing that postpartum depression doesn't exist. And
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. I'm no psychologist. I
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: think it does. I mean I've heard enough stories from
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: women who go through a very difficult time and it
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem particularly compassionate on his part. But to take
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: that leap then and say, and that's why you strangle
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: your kids? You know, sorry, one of these things is
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: not like the other. And so it's we got we
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: got real evil here. Though this is a we talk
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: about this on a daily basis. You and I cover
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: it every single day. Evil is all around us, and
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I and I just continue to pray for our country. Meanwhile,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: President and Trump has weighed in on flock cameras. He
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: had a really good take on it. I thought, kind
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: of the way I feel. Did you hear what he said?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Tell me? He said it's being studied right now, these
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: flock cameras. He goes, you have pros and cons. He said,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: there's pros to and he's right. I mean the trouble
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: with the pushback against the flock cameras. They are enormously
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: successful and effective in catching bad guys. They are enormously
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: as successful in finding seniors with Alzheimer's who might be
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: driving around and you can't find them, and you don't
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: and they can pinpoint their location. I keep airing on
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: the side of the belief that I have that you
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: have no expectation of privacy in a public place period,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: end of sentence. Wild that's true.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And this is funny because the Trump quote that I
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: was focusing on is about data centers, another thing he's
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: weighed in on. He doesn't like the Texas the Greg
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Abbott they love each other, but the pause on data centers.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: More on that in a minute. Are both data centers
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: flock cameras are the talk show gods are smiling because
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I think people of just about every political stripe can
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: feel either way about either issue. So the other side
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: of flock cameras. And I'm really having an internal as
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: well as external dialogue about this because of course you're right,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and I'm pro law enforcement anything it makes it easier
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to find Grandma or find that you know a kidnapper
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: with a kid in the backseat. Right, And you're totally right.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Your sentence is golden that you have no expectation of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: privacy out there on the streets. The flock camera is
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: not in your house. But the parallel I make is,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: what if there's a cop assigned to follow you around
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: all day wherever you go? Yep, that you wouldn't like that.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: But hey, Mike's out in the world. He's out in
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the wild. The cops not in his house, but that
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: cop is following you wherever you go out in the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: outside world, and so there's no expectation of the purest
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: of privacy. But I think most people they have a
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: heavy mistrust of this technology, and I know they would
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: have to fall into some bad hands for really bad
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: things to happen. But always expect the worst of government
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: is something that sometimes makes sense.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: You're citing the potential for abuse, which exists in every
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: single aspect of our lives. What about a police officer
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: that accesses your credit card data or your private information,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: or takes your driver's license and then uses that to
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: stalk a girlfriend. I mean, there have been examples already.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: In one instance, a Florida police officer was accused of
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: allegedly stalking his estranged wife using flock cameras. That's abuse potential.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean you throw the baby out with the bathwater.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: You gotta deal with the abuse. You got to deal
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: with the abusers. But to throw the whole technology out
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: this strikes me as just fear mongering. People are saying, well,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: what about what about what if there's a rogue police
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: officer who can use this technology. Look, I've seen an
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: of these videos. There's a whole genre of people. There's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: these guys that have made a living out of showing up.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I think I've told you about this. They stand outside
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: like the post office with big elaborate camera gear and
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: they film people. They shoot people going in and out
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: of the post office. And what they're trying to do
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: is is evoke. They want to provoke those people, and
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: then they captured on tape and then they posted on
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: social media. So in other words, somebody's walking in, why
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: are you taping me? Well, because I am, well, I
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: don't want to be taped. Oh yeah, well I can
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: tape you. It's my right. And they capture that encounter,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: and then inevitably the police will show up because they're
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: gonna somebody gets mad and calls the cops, and the
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: cops side with the people with the camera, of course,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: saying look, they're on a sidewalk. And those people, incidentally
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: with the camera, they know exactly what they're they're called,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I think of the one guy's called the auditor. They're
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: called auditors and they're there. They're supposedly First Amendment auditors,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: and they're testing the boundaries of First Amendment, and they're
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: sticking can in people's faces basically who are going in
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: and out of the post office, daring them to give
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: them a response. But I've watched them some of these videos,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: because you know how X goes. Once you see one,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: then you're gonna see a hundred. The algorithm lights up
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: in there, you go to your dad, There goes the algorithm.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: And then and then I'm up till three in the
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: morning fascinating in bed watching them. Between that and Broadway shows,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: you're up right right. I can't try it. All I
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: do are police chases. They'll have police chase is a
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: thousand of those, and I can't turn those off. So
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I'm up until the middle of the night. But what
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I but I watch these guys. They know exactly what
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: they're doing, what they're allowed to do. Not only do
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: they take a video of a car's license plate. When
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: somebody gives them guff, they go right up and show
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the ven number. They take the camera over the ven number.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: And the legal argument is, you're in a public place,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: you don't have any protection against somebody taking a picture
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: of your ven number on your car or your license
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: plate number, and it's it's a little bit scary. There,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: there's wrong, but they're jerks. So they're a whole lot strong,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: but they're total jerks. All they're doing is trying to
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: provoke her esp I speaking of President Trump, you mentioned
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: you know him weighing in on this. He's going to
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: go to South Carolina Friday to campaign for Darlene Graham Nordon.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: And I'm telling you what, Mark, this is a crap
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: show of epic proportions. See what happened?
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: So it's so uncomfortable now, I mean, there are five
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: things that happen. Which one are you focused on? And
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: then we'll spend a moment on this because.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Well they they essentially the Graham campaign worked out a
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: deal with the South Carolina GOP that they don't like
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Newsmax very much. Tonight's a big debate between Darlene and
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Ralph Norman. He's the longtime veteran conservative congressman.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: And proven conservative Trump ally.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: You bet she she is, to quote my pal Mark Davis,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: a nice lady whose brother died. And so the nice
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: lady whose brother died has now been endorsed by our president,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: and everybody's like scratching their heads saying, wait a minute,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: and I know why he did it. I've got a
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: warm spot in my heart for him. He loves It's
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: to be nice. We love Lindsay, I mean, and Trump
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: loved Lindsay as a dear friend, and he's trying to
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: honor Lindsey's memory. But I'm telling you, this woman is
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: very likely or possibly at least a Lisa Murkowski and
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: South Carolina's going to make a mistake here, I'm afraid.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: But there goes Trump. He's flying into Myrtle Beach to
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: campaign for her. So any thought of him doing a
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: mutual endorsement or a duel endorsement, that was your theory.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I thought it sounded really smart because now that we're
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: in the home stretch, and obviously Alf Norman does have
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: a pro Trump track record, Darlene's just Lindsey's sister, which
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: has emotional value. He could easily say, look, I love Darlene,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: but Ralph's been a long time ally. I'm going to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: endorse them both. And I think, well, Darlene wouldn't be happy,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: but I think most of Trump's supporters would Trump supporters
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: in South Carolina now have a weird moment where they
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: are probably in their heads and hearts and spines leaning
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: toward Ralph, but the President, who may hold in very
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: high regard to saying vote for Darlene. I still think
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Ralph wins this thing. And the attitude in the South,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the attitude of the South Carolina voter is we love you,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: mister President, but we got this and we're gonna do
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you still predicting the Darlene win.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure I do. I think, look, you can't.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: You can't. It's gonna be hard to push back against
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: President Trump with an in person appearance in Myrtle Beach
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Saturday Friday night. I don't know that the state loves Trump.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of people that aren't following this closely,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: and they're probably figuring, oh well, Darlene's probably like lindsay,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be okay and I'll pull the lever. I
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: don't know. I I that's gonna be a weird win.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: We're gonna it's it's a pretty wild ride.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And in an actual debate tonight. So I'll bet there'll
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: be clips tomorrow that we can enjoy and a podcast
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: we can enjoy later today M and M Extra, where
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: we unpack things even further than we have now YouTube, Apple, Spotify,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: M and M Extra.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: So let's do
