Thursday October 1 2026 | Midterm Optimism, Botched Execution, Sleep Tech Novelty · The M&M Experience

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome to a meeting of the minds, crafted from decades
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of talk show experience. An extension of the magic they've
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: created together on radio. In the phenomenon called M & M.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Hot topics in the news and wisdom from life. It's
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Mark Davis and Mike Gallagher. This is M & M Extra.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: As we all welcome October together, October 1st is a
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: day that we're going to celebrate M & M Extra together.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Thanks to our partnership with Preborn, such an important part
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: of what we do. They're our title sponsor. And Preborn,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: of course, gives the opportunity for young women to see
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: an ultrasound of her baby. And you will double the
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: likelihood that she'll choose life. Preborn.com slash mmextra. Preborn.com slash mmextra.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I'm Mike. He's Mark. Thus the M & M. And Mark,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: something pretty extraordinary happened this week. We invited our audience
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to contribute enough to provide an entire ultrasound machine for $ 15, 000.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: That's what that costs. And guess what? M & M
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Extra now is able to provide an ultrasound machine to
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: save babies for years to come thanks to the generosity
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: of this audience. How blessed are we, my friend? It
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: is the best.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: And those five people with a plus one, so that's
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: 10 people, Add you and me, that's 12. We're going
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: to fill a table for 12 at a wonderful restaurant
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. And just to thank
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: them and spend time with them and break bread with
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: them and share stories with them and celebrate with them
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: the collective, the aggregate $ 15, 000 that they have assembled. Because
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: we know asking somebody for $ 15, 000 is a pretty big deal.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: We figured if we ask five people for $ 3, 000, might
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: that work? And darned if it didn't.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: It sure did. And let's just take a moment here
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: just to remind you about the Preborn Mission program. Again,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: they give free ultrasounds to girls and women. When a
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: young woman sees her baby and hears her baby's heartbeat,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: it literally, and they've said, they've proven this statistically, it
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: doubles the chance that she will choose life over the abortion.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: $ 140 will give five mothers a free ultrasound and save babies.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: $ 280 helps save 10 babies. And again, that $ 15, 000 gift
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: that the M & M Extra podcast family gave, is
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: going to provide an ultrasound machine that will save lives
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: for years to come. So you have the choice to
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: either save one baby or hundreds, save a baby this week,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: this month, maybe for years to come. You are a
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: call or a click away, right, Mr.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Davis?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: We are just so very, very proud of that. That's 833-850-BABY, 833-850-BABY,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: or preborn.com slash mmxtra. We know 15 grand's a lot.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: We know three grand's a lot. But the $ 140 for
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: giving five mothers a free ultrasound, $ 280 for 10, do
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: your own math, $ 28 a month, saves a baby a
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: month for less than a dollar a day, preborn.com slash mmxtra.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Great to kick off with the revelation that we've been
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: able to fill that table for a very special lunch
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: with very special people.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: You bet. I know the big story is the botched
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: execution in Tennessee, and I know we're going to get
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to that. But Mr. Texas, talk show host extraordinaire, I
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: got to ask you about the latest Tallarico news. I
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: want to talk to you a little bit about Texas's
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: opportunity here to push back the far left movement. sort
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: of brigade. And I did a whole exercise today on
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the talk show asking Texas callers, is there any chance
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: that James Tallarico can win and will win?
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Good phraseology. What'd they say?
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Well, it was fascinating. And the way I teed it
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: up was that I played one of his chief advocates,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: this podcaster from California, this kid named Hassan Piker. I
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: want to play for you. Tallarico or Abdul Syed? No, no,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: this is Hasan Piker, who was campaigning essentially for Tallarico
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: at the University of Texas.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh. Okay.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Look, this Piker's got his tentacles in all— Is there anybody.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: That is up in Minnesota with the chick that's running
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: against Michelle Tafoya? Is he just spreading his poison everywhere?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Good for him. Give him time. He's got to get
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: up to Minnesota. I'm sure his private jet will take
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: him wherever he wants to go. I mean, I don't
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: know anything about the guy other than he's got a
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: big following. I keep hearing that. So here he is
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: at UT Austin. Listen very carefully to his words, Mark.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: And he's at UT Austin on behalf of Tallarico, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: he's issuing a warning to Tallarico fans. Should he win? And,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: of course, in Hassan Piker's phraseology, it's when he wins.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: He's issuing a warning. He's putting him on notice. He's
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: telling him what he better do if he gets elected.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: And listen closely to what he says at the very
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: beginning of this clip.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: Hopefully, inshallah, after James Tallarico wins.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Okay. Yeah.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: After.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I'm not allowed to.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: I feel like. I shouldn't even say that. I feel
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: like in the state of Texas, no Sharia state. They're
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: going to they're going to throw me in prison. But, yeah,
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: hopefully after James Ellringer wins, we got to hold him
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: to account.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: We got to make.
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: Sure that he doesn't become another do nothing Democrat business
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: as usual. And we got to keep up that pressure.
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: And we have to remind him. that we are the
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: force that backed him both early on, and we are
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: the force that allowed him to win this seat of power.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: And if he wants to maintain it, he's got to
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: play ball.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: You better know who the boss is, Tallarico.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Slid it very quickly under the transom there. Hopefully, inshallah.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: God willing.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: God willing, says the America-hating, pro-terrorist socialist, Hassan Piker. Somebody posted,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I think it was Benny Johnson, said this guy's barely American.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: He grew up in a Muslim country. He loathes America.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: And I go back to my foundational question. You and
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I have talked about it before. Let's talk about it again.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Could Texas elect such a man as James Tallarico?
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: The way you phrased it requires a certain response. The
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: way you phrased it first. And if this is the
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: way you phrased it to the audience, if I were
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: in the audience calling you that day, I would have said, well, Mr. Mike.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: If your question is, is it possible? Anything is possible.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: But is it plausible? Is it likely? It decidedly is not.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: These polls are garbage. Tallarico is pro-abortion. He's anti-meat. He's
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: anti-woman with his gender nonsense with seven genders and men
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: can compete against your daughters in sports. He's a blasphemer.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: He's a heretic. So the very notion that there's I mean,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Beto O'Rourke is Winston Churchill compared to this guy. So
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: the notion that he's going to win is simply a
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: bridge too far. Could I be wrong? Of course. Is
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: anything possible? Yes. But this just does not meet the
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: plausibility test.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Let's go back to the blasphemy part for just a moment.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I've got another clip for you. He was on a podcast,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: and he shared how he felt about the Christians that
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: he served with in the Texas legislature. Check out this doozy.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: This isn't one of his advocates. This isn't one of
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: his supporters. This isn't Hassan Piker. This is the candidate himself.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I give you James Tallarico.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: I have met so many Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs. Jews, Muslims, atheists,
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: agnostics who are more Christ-like than some of the Christians
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: I serve with in the Texas legislature.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: How about that? Atheists and agnostics more Christ-like than the
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Christians I've served with in the Texas legislature. Again, Mark,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the $ 64, 000 question, Texans are going to vote for that guy?
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Not likely. And I want to be, as I always
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: really try to be, because if I am extra gracious
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: and extra accommodating and going, all right, here's what he
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: might have meant, I believe that that buys me some
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: capital with which to say when somebody's totally full of it.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: His goal there is to say that there are people
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: of a variety of faiths who have displayed a certain
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: amount of kindness, a certain amount of benevolence, certain qualities
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: that he considers Christlike, which may indeed be Christlike. But
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: the problem with that is the slap that comes at
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: the back end. The Christian lawmakers, in other words, to
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: be an actual Bible-believing conservative Christian, an actual evangelical, means
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: you're going to have certain views about abortion, which I'm
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: sure he feels are very unkind views. to the mother
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: who wishes to kill her baby. They're going to have
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: certain views about transgenderism, which I think he's going to
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: think is very unkind to the 10-year-old boy who thinks
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: he's a girl. So it is this twisted, perverse definition
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: of kindness that drives him there. And no, that's just
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: not going to pass muster on November 3rd with the
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: majority of Texas voters.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Let's stick with the polls for just a moment, because
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I loved following the data guru. I like this guy
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: and I know he probably, I mean, he's a CNN guy,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: but nonetheless, Harry Enten often gives a reality check to
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the stunned anchor or host that he's talking to. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I want to play this out. I want to play
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: this full clip for you because he reminds us that
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: September polls, because you said the polls are garbage, right?
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: All right. Listen to Harry Enten point out Why the
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: polls have historically been exactly that garbage. Remember, this is
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: not Newsmax. This isn't even News Nation or Fox News.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: This is CNN and Harry Enten.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: 34 days before the midterm election, so many polls show
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: Democrats with a pretty commanding lead heading into the election,
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: certainly in the House and also, at least right now,
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: in the U.S.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Senate.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: But here's the question.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: What if the polls are wrong?
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: With us now, CNN chief data analyst, Harry. And it
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: may be the question I think that you get, I
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: get more than any other. What if the polls are wrong?
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, we've had really good Democratic polls coming
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: out from Ohio, Michigan.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Iowa, you know, fool me once.
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: Shame on you. Fool me four times. I just have
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: to ask the question. Could it happen again? Because just
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: take a look at this. OK, Midwest polling misses. GOP
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: outperformed September polls by in the major 2024 races. That
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: is president and Senate in the states that had a
• 10:46
  Speaker 8: Senate race in Iowa where the Democrats have been getting
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: really good polls. Republicans outperformed their September polls by nine
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: points back in twenty twenty four.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: How about Ohio?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Six points. How about Michigan?
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Five points.
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: And I will note that the leads that the Democrats
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: have in all of these races right now are under
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: how much the GOP outperformed back in 2024. So you
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: look at this and you go.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: Maybe we should just hold on a second here because
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: we've seen this dance before and it was not a
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: dance that Democrats like when the votes are actually cast
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: and counted.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: Okay, but a skeptic could look at this and say, Harry,
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: this is 2024. Donald Trump was on the ballot then.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: What about races where the president's not on the ballot?
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly right. So, you know, 2024, 2020, 2016, Donald
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: Trump outperformed in these three states by significant margins. But
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: what about a midterm election? You can go back to
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: Donald Trump's first midterm election, and it's the same exact story.
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: Look at this. The GOP outperformed September polls in the
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: major 2018 statewide races by six points in Iowa, six
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: points in Ohio.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: And eight points in Michigan.
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: The bottom line is this. Over the last few cycles,
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: whether it be 2018, 2016, 2020, 2024, Republicans have outperformed
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: their September polls by at least five points in all
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: these three states where Democrats right now are ahead, but
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: not by a wide enough margin whereby if Republicans outperform
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: their September polls again, it could become very, very interesting.
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: Now overlay this on the current Senate map. Exactly right.
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: So this is where it all kind of comes together, right? Okay,
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: let's just say that the GOP outperforms the Midwest polls
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: like they did in 2018 and 2024. Well, what do
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: you get? You get a red Michigan. You get a
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: red Ohio. You get a red Iowa. And all of
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: a sudden, even if Democrats carry states like Texas, Georgia,
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: North Carolina, and Alaska together, Well, guess what you get?
• 12:32
  Speaker 8: You get a 50-50 Senate with J.D. Vance casting the
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: tie-breaking vote. So if history holds in terms of the
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: GOP outperforming their September polls, well, there's a very, very
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: strong chance that Republicans hold on the United States Senate,
• 12:46
  Speaker 8: even if Democrats win in places they don't historically win in.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Wow. I mean, how does he— listen, I hold CNN in
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: the same low regard as any conservative should. I mean,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: but how does he keep that gig? That was fantastic.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: I have to congratulate them for letting him fill those
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: two minutes with such actual stunning truth.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: He's just reading the numbers. I mean, I've got a
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: bunch of September polls in front of me. You want
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: to see some September polls?
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Ted Cruz was only ahead of Colin Allred by one point.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: He won by nine.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: September poll, he won by nine. Robert Casey, Pennsylvania, he
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: was two points ahead of Dave McCormick. McCormick won in Pennsylvania.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Sherrod Brown, September poll, was six points ahead of Bernie Marino.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Guess what? Marino won by 3.6 points. And then, of course,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: we always love to go to Iowa. Good old Iowa,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the Des Moines Register, Selzer Poll. Kamala was going to
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: beat Trump by three points in Iowa. Guess what? Trump
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: took Iowa by more than 13 points. And finally, one
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: more take on Tallarico, which you're going to love. You
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: know me, fixated on X. I can't get my big
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: fat nose out of X. I'm always scrolling. I'm doom scrolling.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I got my new handle, my name, at Mike Gallagher.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: So follow me over there on X, everybody in the
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: podcast world. I'll try to follow you back at Mike Gallagher.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: No more Gallagher Show or Radio Talker Mike or any
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: of those old trite. Now I'm just like Mark Davis.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Mark gets his name. I get my name. He's at
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Mark Davis. I'm at Mike Gallagher. Don't forget the H
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: in Gallagher. So some anti-Ken Paxton site, Team Tallarico, they
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: tried to do a dunk on Paxton for being apparently wealthy.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: He's got, I guess, more than one home.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Got some houses.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's got some houses. He's got a bunch of houses.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Tallarico writes– he reposts that report and says– I have
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: one house. Now, what's great about X is scroll down
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: and look at the comments. Did we get ratioed? Oh,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: you want to hear some ratio? Yeah. Yeah, your moms,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: we know.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, boom!
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: That's the best one.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: We've got to help people out because story after story
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: has shown some of Tallarico's bank accounts were joint accounts
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: with his mom, and there was a period where he
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: lived with his mom. This is just a low-key beta
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: male from central casting. It's not that everybody who wins
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: in Texas has to be some big buff in a
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: 10-gallon hat and poop kicker boots.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Not at all.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: But he's a cartoon character.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: All right, so we're going to see. 33 days away.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: You came up earlier today. Somebody mentioned that you and
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I had a mild disagreement this morning on Eminem Experience
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: on your show because I'm sensing a big-time vibe shift
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: in October. I don't know that it's fully there for you.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Maybe you see it. Maybe you don't. I'm seeing a
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: bunch of pro-economic success headlines right now. And stand by
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: because I'm going to share a revelation that's going to
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: knock your socks off. And it happens to come from
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the one and only Don Lemon. Oh, good Lord. I know.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Don't tease me, bro. Don't tease me.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Well, hold that thought. I don't want to tease you
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: about a serious way to lose weight because I have
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: gone through this little health experience the last couple of weeks,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: learning that I've got cardiovascular disease. Like my buddy Mark,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I've got a little plaque. In the old arteries. And
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: the first thing they tell you at this cardiologist appointment
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I had was, way to go on the weight. Way
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: to go with the weight loss. And look, there's one
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: way I did it. I know how to do it.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Thanks to Dr. Ashley Lucas, PhD weight loss. According to
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: their own client data survey, 8 out of 10 PhD
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: clients dropped 10% or more of their body weight. And 96%
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: reported better energy. You can do this. You just got
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: to make the call. If I can do it, and look,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: I just got on the scale yesterday morning. I'm kind
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: of blown away by this. I got sloppy, stupid, lazy
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: over the last year. And look, I am kicking myself
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: for a lifetime of... cheeseburgers and pasta and too much crap.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I never met a whopper at Burger King I didn't
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: fall in love with. And you know, that's you pay
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: a price. And one of the things you got to
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: be careful of is your body and your arteries and
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: your heart, your health, your blood pressure. PhD is been
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: a godsend for me. So I'm doing all the things
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: the doctor is telling me to do. I'm following every
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: bit of advice, and I've already been two steps ahead
• 17:33

• 18:28
  Speaker 3: stuff on Salem from the Relief Factor Studios. It's always
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: the Relief Factor Studios. Our relationship with them has been
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: really longstanding. And now my relationship with them is really,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: really personal because they've helped me get out of pain,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: as Mike, I know they have for you.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: You better believe it. Relieffactor.com. Here's a headline that I thought,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I looked at that, you know, the old New York
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Post headline. Here it is. Don Lemon admits President Trump
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: has delivered, quote, pretty much every promise, unquote, he made
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: on policy. Now, Tracy comes running in. my producer, and
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: she can't believe it. And she said, what's up here?
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: What is going on? Is this a psyop? Is there
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: a butt? No, there's no butt at all. This came,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: this out-of-character remark, I'm quoting here from the New York Post.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: The former CNN anchor, Don Lemon, was discussing how seriously
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: he takes Trump's comments about potentially running for a third term.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Knock it off. All right, fine. But he said on
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: the podcast, and I quote, He has delivered. He has delivered.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: He said, And pretty much every promise that he has made,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: pretty much like policy-wise, he has delivered. He has delivered.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: He said, look what I'm going to do with immigration.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Look what I'm going to do with taxes. Look what
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do with health care. And he did
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: all of them. Now, this is Don Lemon. You ever
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: follow what Lemon has said about Donald Trump?
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Indeed.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing. If you then were if someone
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: were to then ask, and maybe they did, I don't know. So, hey, Don,
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: what did you think of those policy achievements? He would
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: hate every single one of them. Let me flip the
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: coin for you and ask the following question. Didn't Barack
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Obama pretty well do everything he said he was going
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: to do to our great chagrin?
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. And we hated it. But his
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: goal was to fundamentally transform the United States. He said that.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: His stated goal. And there was a transformation. All right.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: And that was what I tried to tell Tracy because
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Tracy wasn't buying my that my argument. I said, look,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: you got to appreciate they hate all of Trump's policies.
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: Of course.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: So they think saying that Trump fulfilled his promises to
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: the American. And look, his promises were lofty. Mark, his
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: promises were ambitious. His promises were inconceivable at the time.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: So to them, fulfilling those promises is the work of
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: the devil. You know, that's Hitler stuff. But to independents—
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: to moderates, to swing voters. To real people.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: It's killing me. To normal people.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: We're going to have left and right disagreements. I mean,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: conservatives are not going to like the Obama agenda, some
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: of the Clinton agenda. Liberals are not going to like
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: the Trump agenda, the Reagan agenda. But some of the
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: things that Trump promised to do are things that human
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: beings should like. Bring crime down. Fix the border. I mean,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Jiminy Christmas. These are not things I want because I'm
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: a conservative. They're things I want because I'm a person.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: I know. You're like you have a pulse. So, look,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: it's normal times. I'm telling you. And there, let me
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: look at these headlines. Go to the New York Times.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Mideast oil exports rebound. Oil exports from the Middle East
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: have risen sharply this month, taking them closer to the
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: level they were at before Iran shut down the country.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Straight of Hormuz. Wall Street Journal today, or yesterday rather, U.S.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: economy is accelerating. Cheer up. The Commerce Department made an
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: unusually large upward revision in its economic growth estimate. rising
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: yields on the 10-year Treasury. Commerce Department raised its GDP
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: growth estimate for the first quarter from 2.1% to 2.5%.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: And these are numbers that were unthinkable during the Biden era.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Mark, I mean, this is, and look, affordability, affordability, affordability.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: I get it. I get it. I get it. Things are,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: gas is still too high. But that's all they got, Mark.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: The truth of the matter is.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: And do they even have that? And should they even
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: have that? Because every time you say affordability, just take
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: 10 more seconds and say, how affordable are the red states?
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: How affordable are the blue states?
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Boom.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: I rest my case. Run America like a red state.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: It gets more affordable.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Well, if it's the optics issue of the gas prices,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: what was gas under Joe Biden? So there's your proof positive.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: And what's gas in California versus gas in Texas and Florida?
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: But the proof that the Democrats have no plan, and
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: they don't, is a reminder of what gas was like
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: under Biden. So we've got to deliver that message. But again, messaging.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I love what Trump said. He was joking around the
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: other night. And he talked about the fact that our
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: country is really doing doing well. And the problem is
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: we're doing well at running the country, but we're doing
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: a lousy job of delivering the message.
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: Explain.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Here's what he said.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: What's that of explaining the economy? Is this the one
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: where he talks about what President Xi said? No, let's
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: play it for you.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Because there's a President Xi comment that if he doesn't
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: do it in this clip, I'll supply it thereafter.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, good. Well, let's listen to what he said about
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: the messaging that needs to start happening in the next
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: 33 days.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: Since I took office, we've created more than one million
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: new private sector jobs, and Americans are working today. So
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: you have more Americans working today.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, there are certain stats that are just good.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: So there are by a lot more Americans working today
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: than at any time in the history of our country.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: You can't.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: That's a stat.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: But nobody knows it. That's why I'm doing it myself.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: That's why I'm doing it myself. Rachel, can you believe it?
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: I'm going out because nobody's selling it. I'm doing we're
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: doing an extremely poor job of promotion and an extremely
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: great job.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Of running the country itself.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: I think you're probably better off with that, but we'll
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: get the word out.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: It should not be hard.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Employment for Hispanic Americans is expanding rapidly. And the number
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: of Hispanics in the tech roles has increased by 30
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: percent in.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: The last year.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: And you're going to make a lot of money because
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: you get that stuff.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: You're smart.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: You're very smart.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: And we don't want to generalize, but you guys happen
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: to be smart.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: OK, you maybe heard it before.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Now, you know, he's right, though, Mark. And tell me
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: about the she cut. But he did say, look, we're
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: doing a great job. I'm doing a good job running
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: the country. The country's going well. We're just not doing
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: a very good job of promoting that message.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: And it was exactly that in a shorter clip, just
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: a riff. that I think was yesterday. He said, the
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: economy's doing great. I must not be doing the best
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: job of communicating that. Everybody knows it. President Xi, he
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: gets off the plane. The first thing he said to
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: me was, your country's doing great. Of course, he said
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: it in Chinese. It's It was just so Trumpy. And
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: so to tie a bow around what I think, I
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: think you perceived that I was slower to the enthusiasm
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: stance than you are. And I'm not because, listen, I
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: am the guy who for weeks has been saying it
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: doesn't have to be this way. We don't have to
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: get rolled on November 3rd. It doesn't have to be disaster.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Your beautiful words. All we have to do is show up.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: So now as things start to. Shift in the narrative.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at it. I'm soaking it up. I'm not
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: going to sit here and go, see, told you I'm
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: not going to say that till the morning of November 4th.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: So I but I cautiously absolutely believe that that will
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: happen if we're going to do three to four minutes
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: on the botched execution. Let's let's do it now, because
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: before we're done, there's one totally. Mike Gallagher, perfect lifestyle
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: thing plus weird story that'll take maybe two or three minutes.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: It's something that if you don't have it, you soon
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: will when I tell you about it. But first, let's
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: do botched executions, if you wish, or anything you want.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: You got it. I want to talk about this Krista
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Pike thing. It's a huge story. We're going to do that.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Then we're going to talk about what you want to
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: cover as well with something I need to have. My
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: ears have immediately perked up. My ears always perk up
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: when I hear somebody successfully telling us about getting out
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: of pain. Relief Factor is the way we did it.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I did Relief Factor. What's that?
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: I did Relief Factor five minutes ago. We did Relief Factor.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Food for the poor time. Pivot.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Did we?
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: I riffed on food. I talked about back pain and
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: my shoulder pain and the dogs and the whole shebang.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned it, but I don't think we did
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: the spot.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, sure did.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: That's what it was. No, we did pre-born. We did
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: PhD weight loss.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Right after PhD, I did 60 seconds on Relief Factor.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Am I losing it? Well, look, again, I can't get
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Krista Pike off my mind because I think I'm about
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: to drop dead of a heart attack and they can't
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: kill that woman.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: 30 more seconds of poetry slam on Relief Factor. Let's
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: get their graphics up there. Then come back and do
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: whatever you want. It's okay.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Well, no, and now you're right. It's coming back to me.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: You already told the world about the wonders of relief factor.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Let's brag on the audience for just a moment and talk. Again,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: salute this audience for what you did with Preborn. And
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: this is what you do with all of our great
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: ministry partners like Food for the Poor. Mark and I
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: got a chance to go to Guatemala a few years
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: ago together, and we just were riveted by what we
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: found with Food for the Poor. They're different. They're special.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: They've been at this for 44 years. 4.7 billion meals delivered.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: They don't just drop boxes and leave. They buy from
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: local farmers. You know the old biblical adage, Don't just fish.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Teach a man how to fish, and he'll be able
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: to eat forever. Mark, one of my endearing photographs from
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: that trip is you holding a little child in your arms. You, Lisa,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: your precious son, Ethan, you guys had such a great
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: visit with us. It's life-changing when you get to travel
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: with Food for the Poor.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: If you lead a normal life watching TV and listening
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: to radio and watching podcasts or whatever, you're going to
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: get a certain amount of messaging from charitable messages, causes
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: that seem good, the things that you lean into. And
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: so like anybody, I've seen a million of these. When
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: I heard about Food for the Poor and we started
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: to do campaigns for them, but then when I got
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: to go to Guatemala with Mike to meet families who
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: are alive because you were so kind, to meet mothers
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: able to feed their children because you in this audience
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: or audiences like it offered up from your bounty and
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: your blessings and It is an unbelievable, life-changing thing. So
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: let Mike and me, let us just make sure you
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: know that if you go to that FFTP to 51555,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: text that FFTP to 51555, $ 10, $ 50, $ 100, whatever you got.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: We are so grateful. Food for the Poor is grateful.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: You know who's really grateful? People who will eat who
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: otherwise would not.
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: Have.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: That is what this is about. It's Food for the Poor,
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: and we love them, and we thank you so much.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Amen. Let's share the Fox News Channel announcement of the
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: failed execution of Krista Pike. Last night, I was home
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: puttering around the apartment.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: I started- I started seeing these this morning, but I
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: did not see the last night.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I was getting alerts saying she's still alive. She's still alive.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: I thought, wait a minute. She's still alive.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: We couldn't figure out whether we wanted to execute a chick.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: That's always tricky. Like it was for Carla Faye Tucker
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: in Texas in 1998. We finally did, but it was like,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: and you said on the radio this morning, it was,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: if you want to talk about cruel and unusual, how
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: about we're going to kill you? No, we're not. We're
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: going to kill you. No, we're not. I mean, so
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: this was a weird last 24 hours.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Well, here's the way Fox news reported the botched execution.
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: I will say I've witnessed, I believe, five executions in Tennessee.
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: Nothing about today was normal, typical at all. At one
• 30:32
  Speaker 9: point at 734, she said, my arm feels like it's
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: about to burst open. Then she smiles really big. Then
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: she starts talking about that one spot on her arm.
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: Does this happen like that? The one spot, I didn't
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: hear the rest. And then her advisor says, relax. And
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: she says, I'm trying, um, Yeah, she's talking throughout this,
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: then starts breathing, moaning, snoring. The curtains close at first
• 31:02
  Speaker 9: at 746, and she was clearly still alive. She was
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: clearly still breathing and snoring. We could audibly hear that.
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: The curtains open again. Three minutes later, she was snoring
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: very loudly at that point, mouth open, snoring. And then the.
• 31:22
  Speaker 9: The curtains closed again at 8.05, and that's when they
• 31:26
  Speaker 9: remained closed. Media witnesses repeatedly asked, can we open the curtains,
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: because we could still audibly hear her snoring, and we
• 31:34
  Speaker 9: were kind of looked at like, we don't know. But yeah,
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: and then at one point, her snores started to get squeaky.
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: We didn't know if it was her making that noise
• 31:45
  Speaker 9: or a machine.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Now, Mark, that was a witness. That was a witness
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: to an execution. And I'm talking to a guy. My
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: podcast partner is also. the witness to an execution, which
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I thought of you last night. What was that? Compare
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: that experience to what you got to witness many years
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: ago to what you just heard that witness describe over
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: her attempted execution.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: You don't get that kind of uncertainty with old Sparky.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: I saw a guy named David Washington who had brutally
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: murdered some people in Miami years earlier. I saw him get,
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: you know, 2000 volts at 14 amps in the electric
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: chair and he was gone. And we didn't have to
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: check him 15 times, and we didn't have the curtains
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: opening and closing 27 times. Our buddy Kurt Schlichter has
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: a wonderful point he put on Twitter earlier. He said,
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: you know, we're just making too big a deal out
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: of this. Shoot him in the head, and if that
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: doesn't work, do it again. I think he's being a
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: little bit performative about that. I did have callers today say,
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: And you'll always get this, that we we wring our
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: hands too much over being humane about this. None of
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: these killers were humane. And I know that. But we're
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: trying to be better than them. And we've always been
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: kind of awkward in this. We give them that weird
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: last meal. We're going to kill you, but you get chicken.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: And then the whatever other accommodations that we're going to get.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: We got to get better at this. The death penalty
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: is right. It is just it is symmetrical.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: It is good.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: It is scriptural. If you care about that, which I do.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: So we just got to get better at this. And
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: I do not want to dismiss your conspiracy theory that
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: maybe somebody is messing up this process in order to
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: make the death penalty look bad.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Mark, I can't shake that belief with all of my–
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: first of all, same doctor, same crew apparently. And there
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: was a little misnomer. It was erroneously reported that this
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: is the second botched lethal injection in Tennessee within a
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: matter of a few months. Yeah, but the Carruthers guy
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: that got spared, it wasn't... Right. They couldn't find a vein. Well, no,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: it wasn't a vein. The head didn't have a backup
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: IV process. It had to do with the setup, but
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: he never got the lethal injection.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, gotcha.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: So do you know she is literally the first person
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: in history to survive a lethal injection effort at execution?
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: I did a little research on this, because I think
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: you said... It's total urban mythology. People may believe this,
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: that if they try to kill you and they fail,
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: you're not free to go, but they can't try again.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Of course they can.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Well, wait a minute.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Did you see the Green Mile, Stephen King?
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I love that movie. Love that movie.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: And that was Louisiana, I believe, wasn't it? And so
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: it was a story out of Louisiana in the 1930s.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: They put a guy into there, you know. rickety electric
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: chair it didn't work and his attorney said that should
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: be it and the court said no and they did
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: indeed succeed okay so we got a.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Light in the mood before you we close okay you're
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: telling me what wait a minute wait a minute hold
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: the thought before you get there i gotta play something
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: for you because lord what's evidently evidently in in mexico
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: in the early 1900s yeah there was a young man
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: who they tried to execute by firing squad Right. And
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: he survived.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: And they let him– and because he survived, they felt
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: sorry for him and they let him stay on. They
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: let him survive. They let him– he died an old man.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: You've been through enough. His name was Wenceslio Miguel Herrera.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: He was in March 18th of 1915. All right. During
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: the Mexican Revolution. Standard practice, they had four– they had
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: nine soldiers that fought– that simultaneously– fired, right? A point
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: blank final shot was intended to guarantee his death. Well,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: they missed. They missed. They hit him eight to nine times.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: They hit him eight to nine times. He was scared
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: and disfigured. One bullet went through his right cheekbone, came
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: out near his eye, but it missed his brain. He
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: earned the legendary nickname El Fusilado. The El Fusilado. This
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: is all true. I'm not making any of this up.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: He lived, he died at the ripe old age of
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: 79 years old, and he inspired the song El Fusilado
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: by a British band called Chumbumba Wawa.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Who did tub thumping.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, you know Chumbawawa?
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: What?
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Shut up. You don't know who this is.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Do you remember that stupid song from 20, 30 years ago?
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I get knocked down, but I get up again.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was Chumbawawa?
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: The song is called Tub Thumping. That is that band.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: All right, tell me what I got to have.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Here we go. How do you not have this? The
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: entrance ramp to this is we've had a million stories
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: like this. You might have seen. You may go, I
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: know what you're talking about, because we always watch The
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Five all the time. Sure. Do you remember Dana Perino
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: making a reference to a type of bed a couple
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: of days ago? No, I must have missed it. I mean,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: it was just so on the fly. It was sort
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: of toward the end. They're getting toward the final segment.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Now, look, I'm very picky about my bed, so I'm
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: interested in this.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly why. If you don't have this, have
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: you ever heard of something called eight sleep, like the
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: number eight?
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: I have not.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: First time I'm hearing of it. And she just swore
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: by it. She said it's life saving. It saved my
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: marriage or stuff like this.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: What? What?
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: So here's what it is. It is apparently about temperature regulation,
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: which is a big deal for you, Mr. Electric Blanket.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: It is active climate control of the sleep surface. combined
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: with sleep tracking that can change the temperature while you sleep.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: But what it involves is a roughly inch thick pad
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: that fits over the mattress like a fitted sheet. Inside
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: is a grid of water tubes. And biometric sensors in
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: a compact unit sits by the bed with a water
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: reservoir pumping water through this thing that you're sleeping. It
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: sounds really weird and really uncomfortable, but it's apparently neither
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: of those things. And people absolutely swear by it.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: The eight sleep. I'm ready to have one by the weekend. Well,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: you didn't add that it must be very expensive. You've
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: got all that going on with water shooting around. Here's
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: what I need to have with the bed. Two things
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: I got to have is, first of all, the mattress.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, they got to have the electric blanket because
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: what I do is I keep my apartment as a
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: meat locker. Cold as a meat locker. And so I
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: like to crawl in under the cover at night. I
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: turn it off when I get into bed, but I
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: get it warm. So nothing's worse than crawling into a
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: cold bed. I hate crawling into a cold bed. It
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: just jars you and you're already falling asleep. And then
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: the other thing I have to have, I got one
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: of those Tempur-Pedics. You push a button, the back goes up.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: It's like a hospital bed. You would have a hospital bed.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: But I love having that. Yeah, yeah, I'm real. Look,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: I'm ready if I get the stroke. But no, but
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: you lean up. Don't you read in bed? I read
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: in bed all the time.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: And I put an extra pillow behind me.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: You've got to put pillows. You've got to prop your
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: pillows or your back with pillows and all that. I'm
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: good with that.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Push a button. That bed comes up in the back,
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: whether you're watching TV, whether you're reading. That's my thing.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: But all right. I'm going to go get on the
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: phone and check out.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: You're 100% correct about that, by the way, but you've
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: caught me at a weird moment. We had that. Lisa
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: and I had that.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: For 10 years, just got rid of it.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Literally.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Because we bought a new bed. But you didn't want that?
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Our existing mattress, we said, let's just, because you know why?
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Because on her end, it broke. It stuck. And fixing
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: it would cost as much as a new one, so
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: I didn't do it.
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: It.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: I got you. The cost of the eight sleep, $ 3, 000.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: And apparently there's like a subscription by which the autopilot works.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: So it's almost like full-service driving. You got to buy
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: the Tesla. I'll investigate.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: I'll investigate.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: But you will have one by the weekend, I predict.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: I will.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: I will investigate.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: We have executions, sleep comfort. And tomorrow is when they
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: say you can't do it all. They say.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: And tomorrow, a guy who has been fighting for his
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: grandfather's honor for 50 years. Who was his grandfather? Admiral Kimmel,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: a man who was scapegoated by. over Pearl Harbor. Manning Kimmel,
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: our exclusive guest on our Friday theme day.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: History buffs, get ready.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: You better be ready. See you tomorrow. Thanks for spending
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: some time on M & M Extra.
