Will There be Consquences for ABC and NBC for not Carrying the Presidential Address · The M&M Experience

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: It is also Martha Reeves's birthday, She's eighty five. And
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: the cool thing about the just the Motown legacy and
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the iconic you know, dancing in the street heat wave.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: You know what.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Martha Reeves also did, ran for and won a seat
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: on the Detroit City Council. Martha Reeves singer, politician.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: You're kidding me? Well, hey, good for her, Good for her.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: God bless America, God bless America. Indeed. Wow, okay, oh oh,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: how about that speech? Huh? How about that speech? First
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: of all, real quick personal observation, and not to bag
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: on him or criticize him, because I'm so glad he
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: said what he said. Our election system is broken. He
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: did something pretty remarkable. He got the networks to take debit,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: and they didn't carry the speech. And that's a problem.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: That's a big, big problem. You've got a president delivering
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: a primetime address and you've got ABC, NBC and frankly
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: CBS because they bailed early and they were making all
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: kinds of apologies, and CNN of course, look they're they're
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: they're gonna have some explaining to do. And I don't
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: think he's gonna let it go. So so that's a
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: big deal too. With the networks, I know, they're largely
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: irrelevant to most of us. Last night we carried the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: speech on Salem News Channel. Of course, we carried it
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: across the platform of our stations. There's like you like
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: you say, there's cable you know you you keep saying,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: and you're right, there's lots of other platforms that make
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: it available. But that's not the point. The point is
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: to have major broadcast TV networks that are that have
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: a FCC license, that are entrusted to provide news and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: information and entertainment to the American citizens. For them to
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: make an editor and it's strictly an editorial decision, we're
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna black out this speech. We're not gonna
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: let our viewers see what he's saying. That's a problem.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: And look, in a way, he's masterful because he got
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: them to take the bait and now and you wait
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and see, you watch and see the consequences. It'll range
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: from either banning I predict either banning ABC, CBS, NBC
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and CNN correspondence from the White House press briefings, or
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: or all the way as bad as as as draconian,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: maybe as challenging their license to operate. I mean they
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: have a license with the Federal Communications Commission, So there's.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Third on that. The license is to individual stations. Networks
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: don't have licenses career, but the networks are and they
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: own they often own a bunch of stations. Oh oh,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: they have owned and operated stations under their umbrella. So
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: that's a big deal. So anyway, that's number one. Quick
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: personal aside. Didn't he look and sound tired to you?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I always wonder, you know, this man who gets three
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: hours of sleep and slams Big Max all day? How
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: healthy is he really? And he always see he seems
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to have energy that he's going to outlive all of us.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: There there was a listen in talking wasn't a lot
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of energy? Wasn't a lot of energy last night?
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: It was?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And and sometimes like a few days ago when he
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: was talking about the talking about the the death of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Lindsay Graham, that's understandable that it would be seen kind
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of downtrodden and weary and put upon. But it was
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: not a peak energetic Trump last night either. I don't
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: want to underanalyze that and don't want to overanalyze it, right, true,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: not true, and we.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Could spend too much time. And I don't want to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: give any ammunition to his critics who are completely convinced
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: that he's spiraling into dementia and madness and all this
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: crazy stuff.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: These people saying that who said nothing about Biden, they
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: watched Biden become brain dead in front of their faces,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and now they dare to come to us if Trump
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: looks a little, a little weary or messes up. Yeah,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a country is like, well, there you go.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: It's just like Biden. Yeah, no, it's so funny. I
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: don't know why I'm on this distribution list, an email
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: list for the Daily Beast, and I don't really read
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: much of the Daily Beast, but every single day I
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: see the headlines. Every single day. I'm not kidding. You
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: could go back for six months. Every day it's something
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: about Trump melting down. There's a meltdown today, there's a
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: meltdown here. This is a meltdown. Everything's a meltdown. Everything's
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: spiraling into madness and insanity. Speaking of madness and insanity,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: today's state of the DEBI. Oh, by the way, let
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: me before I go on to the Democrats today, let
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: me ask you something about the accusation that Trump is
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: a sore loser about twenty twenty. That's what they say
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: about him. They say he's a because the argument is, hey,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: could he leave twenty twenty alone? Can we move forward?
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: We get it, it was six years ago. You and I
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: both agree. I think we don't fix our election system.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: We don't have a country. But here's the absolute idiotic
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: argument that he's a sore loser over twenty twenty. Wait
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a minute, he won in twenty twenty four. How could
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: he be a sore loser about losing in the middle
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: of his two terms. He is a two term president
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: that holds no water. That's like saying the Cowboys lost
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: one game or one playoff game leading up into the
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: world into the super Bowl, and then they won the
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Oh, but there are sore losers about losing
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the playoff. No, they're not. What are you talking about?
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: He won, Mark, as he always says, success is the
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: ultimate vindication. Is indeed, so he beat overall? Is he
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: glad to be president now? He would not be president
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: now if we could go back into a time machine
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: and turn twenty twenty out the way he wanted it
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to at the time, the way we all wanted it
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: to at the time. The careful what you wish for.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think the sore loser label is that
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: he remains deeply, deeply wounded by what was done to
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: him in twenty twenty. So do I now that does?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: That doesn't make I guess it doesn't make somebody a
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: sore loser like I wish I had won or I mean,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know, because he wouldn't be there now. But
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: is he still deeply aggrieved by what happened in twenty twenty? Yes,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: he is, and he has every right to me well
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: aggrieved or he could be now fixed stated on the
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: fact that our US election system, based on what he experienced,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: is broken. And these disclosures that are all posted now
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: at white House dot gov, and so many people went
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: to it last night. Evidently they crashed the website. Hundreds
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: of millions of American voter files are in the hands
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: of foreign governments like China. Voting machines and ballot counting
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: systems have been exposed to hacking, are exposed to hacking manipulation.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: China obviously trying to meddle in our election. Evidence of
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: fraud being buried covered up hundreds of thousands of non
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: citizens and dead people still active on voter rules and
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: still no voter ID or proof of citizenship required. That's
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: what he is fixated on. That's what he's aggrieved about,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: and he doesn't care about himself or the past. He won.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: He's the victor, he's the super Bowl champion, he's the
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: two term president. He's got nothing to gain by going
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: back to twenty twenty except to fix our broken election system.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And I'm glad he's doing it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I need to, really, that's because that's why you do that,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: everybody saying, because everybody's saying, don't look at the past,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: just look at the future. They're right, I understand that,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and we're not going to bog down and relitigate five
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: thousand times the irregularities that made twenty twenty an unacceptable
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: election result. But we forget that at our peril. Always
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: keep that with you, never forget, Keep that close to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: your heart, and make that part of the engine that
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: empowers us to move forward into the future and have
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: elections that are far more reliable so things like that
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: don't happen to us.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Amen, Amen, bravo. Don't take all the steam away from
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: pod to the podcast today because we've got to beat
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: us building that podcast. Eminem Extra. Don't check it out
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: eminem Extra YouTube, Spotify. I was talking to Phil Boys
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: this morning, one of our bosses, and they're going over
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: all the numbers. Man, this thing is growing, this thing
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that's so wonderful, like it having a B. Well, I know,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and I know why it's growing because you and I
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: have so much fun doing it. I'm starting. I'm telling
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: you the talk show is becoming the second favorite thing.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: It's sick. It's sick, it's sick, I.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Mean, second favorite thing of the day. Listen ten o'clock.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I'm going to cast that first check we got today
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: for two hundred ninety nine dollars. I've been actually going
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: to frame and put it up on the office.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I said, it's like a hardware stores first dollar that
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: they are at nineteen sixty three.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: It was, well, we got our first we got our
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: first little bit of monetization this month, and that's great
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and we're excited. We want to build this thing and
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: we're doing it because we love doing it and no
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: time constraints. We kind of let it let it fly.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Join us YouTube, Spotify, out wherever you get and I
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: was seeing an article today I shared it with you
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: that apparently in the podcast world, which we're admittedly relatively
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: new to, audio still reign supreme that we we do
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: video and audio at the same time, obviously for YouTube,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: which we invite everybody to watch the YouTube episodes, but
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I guess people, you know, people and driving in their cars.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: That's when I listen to podcasts. I don't know how
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: many podcasts that I watch. People love the live stream,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: people have to come back and get it on YouTube tube,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: YEP and Apple and Spotify have a video component where
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: people can watch our heads bouncing in our respective boxes
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: and the b roll that Yasmin puts up in the visuals.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: We got visuals, we got visuals. But by and large,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I think most people are like you and like me.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Most of my podcast listing is driving around in the car,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: plugging up something to the old iPhone.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Let it come through the speakers exactly, exactly. Well, that's
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: fascinating to me anyway. Check it out minem Extra everyday,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: brand new, exclusive podcast only content in just this week. Look,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Republicans are facing lots of challenges. There's no question, you know,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the conventional wisdom says we can't hold the house. It
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: never happens in an off year election. Blah blah blah.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Just this week, have you seen some examples of prominent
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Democrats and what they represented. You see Tim Watz defending
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: his decision to pardon a child rapist and what he
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: said about the child rapist. You don't want to be
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: judged by your worst day. We shouldn't judge child molesters
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: by their worst day. The man is sick, that's a sickness.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: And this guy that was convicted and is admitted to
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: raping his ten year old niece, it was over a
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: two year period of time. You can't, we shouldn't judge
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: people by their worst day. Let me bring you to
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: New York City. Let's go to New York. There was
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: a press conference yesterday that looked like something right out
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: of a Jason Freddy Krueger Friday, the thirteenth Horror movie.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: There was a tiny, little old lady at a podium
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: with a giant oversized mask on her face and a
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: sneering zoron mom Donnie over her shoulder, and she is
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: bellowing and ranting and raving about eviction violence, that too
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: many people who are getting kicked out of apartments. Oh,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know, because they don't pay their rent and
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: their dead beats and they get evicted. This woman is
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: railing against it, with Mom Donnie's approval, because he doesn't
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: want to evict anybody in New York. He thinks you
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: want to stay and not pay rent, you need to
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: be protected. And it's the landlords who are the bad guys.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: And so we're gonna freeze the rent. We're not gonna
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: kick anybody. Mom Donnie is sneering. It looks I'm telling you,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: it's like a Batman villain
