  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 and M,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Hot Topics in the News and Wisdom from Light. It's
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Mark Davis and Mike Gallagher. This is eminem Extra.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Well, so far, I've survived forty eight hours in New
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: York City. I'm not in Garland, Texas, where it's a
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: lot safer. I can't wait to get back to Florida. Admittedly,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: after today's eminem Extra, I'm Mike from that part of
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the M. He's Mark, Mark Davis. Happy Monday. You look
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: bright eyed and bushy tailed.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I am both. Had a nice weekend, had a fantastic weekend,
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: just to enjoy just getting some stuff done around the house.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Very quiet. Well, listen, it's funny things remain quiet when
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: it's one hundred and twelve degrees outside, and it doesn't
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: exactly invite an enormous amount of yard work or various
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: other out of the out of the house chores. But
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: we got some stuff done and I just had a
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: thoroughly pleasant time. We started a h after having completed Outlander,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: we started a new show on Netflix called I Will
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Find You. Oh, I have seen Sam Worthington, the guy
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: who is in Avatar, most overrated film ever. But it's
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: it's it's a drama. He's in prison for killing his
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: own kid. But then somebody finds a photograph where the
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: kid is alive years later. WHOA, So it's it's it's
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: a bee. So far, it's good. We're halfway through. So
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: we found that. We've just been hanging out. But you're
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: in New York and what are you doing in begin
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: So so weird to.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Be that Avatar was this phenomenal, worldwide, massive success. I
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: guess I've missed the whole thing. You know. The only
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: thing I know about Avatar is the is the Pandora
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: ride over it or the Pandora Park at Disney World.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: They did a whole theme park based on Pandora about
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: on the movie. But I've never I haven't seen any.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Really, well, you should I have. I saw the first one,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: like many other things. It's good, it's fine. Is it
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: like the greatest thing in God's creation? No, it was
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: a nice boy. It did very well. I don't begrudge, yep,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I don't begrudge anybody anything. Not everything's going to be
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: a bike, a cup of tea. I'm not an avatar
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: detractor or anything like that, but it's just I don't know.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: But anyway, I will find you on Netflix.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: It's good.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I'm still looking for something to fill the outlander hole.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: That's that's that's that's.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I filled my love of theater hole in my heart
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: last night over Gosh. Lame is the world concert tour
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: at Radio City Music Hall. So what is that?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: That's an org that's doing the magnificent songs from Lame
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: is sort of the soundtrack in a full orchestra.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're doing. It's not fully staged, but it's mostly staged.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Doing a show in concert I did. I was in
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: one once at Lear Stage at the Majestic Theater in
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: downtown Dallas. In fact, it was the first show I
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: think I ever did it at Lyric. It was Showboat,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: remember the musical Showboat? Sure, and oh my gosh, can
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I should we do this? There's an opening that movie.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: That musical was like written in nineteen thirty seven, right,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: it's old, but you know the show and all the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: beautiful songs from it and everything and about capn Andy
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and the show boat going up and down the mighty
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Mississippi River and everything. Well, I should like, why do
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I do this?
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: So you have to. I don't know what you're talking about,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: but now you have to.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: All right. The quick story about being in concert is
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I was in that production and we staged it in concert.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And what that means is you're kind of seated on
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the stage. You're not like a traditional musical where you're backstage.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: You come out for your scenes and all that. There's sets,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the orchestra, and the cast is basically on stage and
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: then you do the musical. But to the you come
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: to the lip of the stage and you act out
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the scenes and then you go back to your seat.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: But you're performing the musical numbers and the dialogue and everything.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: So you're doing the whole thing in concert form. And
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: it can be done creatively, it can be done done
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: kind of kind of you know, uniquely, but it's different.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: It's a very different way of doing a musical. So anyway,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: show bote years ago, I'll never forget this. So the
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: opening number is something about colored folks working on the
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Mississippi whoops. See, well, but the original original was it
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: was the N word working on the Mississippi.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: No no, not the no no no no no yeah,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: the end stop.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I mean the actual the marke actual word, the actual word.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: It was that they and and so they would say
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: N words working in the Mississippi N word where and
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: they had us sing it. We did that word in
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: concert at in Dall, Texas. And their argument was, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I can't fault them historically accurate. It's historically accurate. This
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: is what we should do. We shouldn't bury history and
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: even do this. Dolly but Mark, I'm up there singing,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking, this is it? Who knew that my career
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: was going to end this way?
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Because all we need is some some viral clips of
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: that Oh my world.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: And I'm up there in seat well thankfully. I was
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: part of like fifty people and I was in er three.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I was hiding in James Williams because he was taller
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: than me, big tall guy with bald head. I thought
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: nobody can see me. I would scrunch down every time
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: that number would come up, because I'm thinking, yeah, are
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: we actually doing this? On?
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Are we doing this? I guess so? So it's funny,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: it's funny. I one thousand oppose the cleansing of Mark
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Twain in Huck Finn where you get you know, Mark
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Twain in the nineteenth century, throwing down some N word
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: references because it was part of the lexicon of the time.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I completely opposed the cleansing. One could say the lightwashing,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: the cleansing of that leave Mark Twain alone. One could
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: apply that to what you've just described and be intellectually honest.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: But then you come to do people need to be
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: walking into the theater deep in twenty first century America
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: and get hit with an N bomb from the stage.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Probably not with fifty people bellowing it. I mean, whoa, whoa, whoa, No, no.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I mean the funny thing was, there wasn't a lot
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: of controversy. I was ready. I thought this is going
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: to hit the fan, but it never really did. And
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: it was well attended. I mean it was they had
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: great They always have great crowds over there. But anyhow,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I was that was kind of my But so last
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: night Ley Misses in concert form. It's a world tour,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: these big international stars, many of whom have played the
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: iconic roles in the past, and then we saw before
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the day I went by myself and went and saw
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe Happy Ending, which is a sweet little show about
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: what it would be like if we had helper bots humans.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: That's from a show from South Korea. I think, so
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: you think of a squid game and all like whatever
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: those shows are, and they're very creative in South Korea
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: with some of their entertainment. So there was like a
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: it was a two shows yesterday and had a blast
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and ate too much sushi last night. Sushi can cannot
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: be kind to me sometimes, but I like it. Do
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: you like Do you like sushimi? Okay?
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I have I have had Okay, I've had a journey
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: on sushi. Twenty years ago, I would say I don't
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: like sushi. I don't eat bait because that's like raw
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: fish blah blah blah. Right now I kind of do.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of the of the even some
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: of the uncooked stuff pepper tuna and yeah, you know,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: or even urchin and eel and some of that real
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: quirky stuff. It's pretty darn tasty and once you if
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: you lay out a roll which actually has some some
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: flame put to it in some fashion, I'm a pretty
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: big fan.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, you know, years ago when I was living in Keller.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I went to a sushi place. You ever, you don't
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: ever want to get bad sushi. It you it's very unforgiving. Oh,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: it was unforgiving in my case. I'm not going to
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: even mention the name. It's still there. But I got
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: sick as a dog. The next morning I had I
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: was clearly food poisoning. And it was shortly after Denise died. Still,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I'll never forget this. I still have my wedding ring on.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: And there's a reason for the for that part of
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: the story. And I had a red bucket in the
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: front seat of the car with me, and I was
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: going to work to do the show and over where
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: you are right now. And I'm driving down you know,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: one fourteen to go to the and I thought, I
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: can't do it. I'm sick. I'm getting sicker and sicker.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: So I took the red bucket and I drove. I
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: got off the exit and I went to the emergency
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: room at that big what's the hospital there in Keller
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: south Lake. There's a Baylor in grape Vine. Yeah, Baylor,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Baylor Grapevine. So I went to Baylor grape Vine er
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: and I walked into the er and there Mark, there's
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: fifty p sitting there with their sniffling noses and their
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: little skin knees, and I think I'm dying. So I decided,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I know what I'll do. I go into the middle
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: of the.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Waiting room and have a fake heart attack.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I collapsed. I fell onto the floor. No I'm with
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: them with the bucket clanging on the ground, which scared
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: the heck out of everybody, and I lay well. Do
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: you know? They came, scooped me up, put me on
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the stretcher, took me back to the room, and of
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: course I was sick still, and I mean, but they
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: got that, got me treated. And then and then the
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: guy said, the doctor said to me, why see you're married.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: This is so morbid. I'm telling you this story, but
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: it's typical Gallagher morbidity, darkness, the light my life, unbelievable.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: The doctor says, I see you're married. When is your
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: wife getting here? I said, she's never gonna be here.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: She died. I lost her a few months ago to cancer.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: In fact, she was in this hospital. I'm I mean
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: it was an I'm a mark. In case you don't
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: know it, I'm a I'm a mess. I'm an as wreck.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: So that was and then I realized, though, maybe I
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: should stop wearing their wedding ring because people will have
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the wrong I mean, you know, I award for a
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: while after she passed away. But that was and not
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: my proudest moment. I admit. It's a little bit like
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: sometimes limping to get on the on the flight early
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: on Delta, because they let anybody.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: With special special needs extra time.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Well, by the time if you even if you're in
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: first class, if you go at the regular time, a
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: lot of times you overhead and been overhead. Bench space
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: is taken, right, And besides you, I see all these
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: people marching ahead of me when they make that announcement.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: If you need a little extra assistance things, people go
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: strolling up there younger than me. I'm thinking, so I
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: do it. But but since I'm an actor, I limp.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I limp pretty profusely, profound. Sometimes it's the left leg,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: sometimes it's the right leg. Sometimes I drag that it fresh.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Now again, when the Lord calls me home, he's gonna
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: remind me you have to answer. I'm I'm about to
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: say a word about that collapsing with a red bucket,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: what with.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: There's one more minute on on gastric distress before we
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: get to the things in the news. How much, how much, zero,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: moderate or ten? Have you paid attention? Are you eating salads?
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: You have let us terror.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Scare of salads.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I listen. We're all we're all trying to
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: lose weight, do better and and eat healthy. It's is
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: it just Iceberg? Can I make a because I'm a
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: big fan. I make a big salad at home in
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: the middle of the day, sure, and I tend to
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: be a romaine lettuce person. Am I okay? Or is
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: is my butt going to explode? Because at first I
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: was kind of dismissive about the whole cyclist, but then
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: it's just grown and grown, and they show the maps
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: with these are the states where people's butts are exploding.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: What it's like?
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Whoa what?
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: I don't want to have that happened? So I don't
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: know how big a deal do you think? How big
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: a deal is it with you? And how big a
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: deal do you think it is? Because we are in
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: the era where health officials trust is broken. The Fauci
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Diaries did not help us with the memories of that
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: broken trust. More on that in a minute if you wish. Yeah,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: but just where do you think we are on this
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: this this lettuce nightmare.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you where I'm at. I ain't touching lettuce.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not touching a leaf of it, just because I'm
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: not I'm not exactly enamored. Somebody saying, well, you know
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: it's from a Mexican farm, and it's okay, No, no, no, no,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: not not. I can get lots of healthy food inside
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: me without having to eat lettuce fresh produce, because really,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: are you willing to take the chance. It's one thing
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: to have diarrhea? They call it explosion diarrhea. At what
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: point does diarrhea become explosive? What's the metric that you
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: have to reach? Well, I don't know, Bill, that seems
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: like ordinary diarrhea. But Fred over here, this is explosive. Yeah,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: it's amazing to me what we well, And they turned
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: people like me, who I'm already nervous. They kept me
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: into it being hysterical. Uh you know, but but my gosh,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I don't have any kind of explosive diarrhea. Hey, we
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: got some breaking news. Do you have a bunch of
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: alerts on your phone? Sure?
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: More some less than others, why like as something happened well.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Senator Mitch McConnell is apparently out of the hospital, according
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: to Fox News, but he's still on the mend and
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: he has not been medically cleared to return to the
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Senate off His office finally released the update on him.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: He's been absent from the Upper Chamber and the public
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: eye for over a month. The Office of the Attending
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Physician just released a statement saying he continues his recovery
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: from a fall at home in June. Mark. That was
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: one heck of a fall. What did you to go
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: down there? You fall down the steps? I mean into
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the basement? Did he go down three flights of steps?
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: What in the heck is going on? And did you
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: see Lisa what's her name or Shelley Moore? Capedo, Yeah,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: she's out.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: There, saying Republican in West Virginia Reese who recently visited
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: She says a person who recently visited Mitch while he's
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: been in a rehab center described him as clear minded.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. A friend of a friend of my uncle's
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: cousin on my on my wife's side, got to see
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: him in the hospital, said he's clear minded yep, uh huh. Well,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: anybody else in the room with you when you talk
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: to that friend, I mean you hear.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Any things, photographs of this Mark?
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Mark, Mark?
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: What do you want to do?
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: So? What do you want to do? What do you want?
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: What do you want him to do? What ought to happen?
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: To resign? Get? Get? Let's do a special election again? Him? There?
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I saw there was a fear that Andy Basher could
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: appoint a Democrat, But apparently that's not the way it
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: would actually work. Correct you corrected me on that last week,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: didn't you? Oh?
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I did. But but the clock is taken.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: There.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: We reach a point if it's going to be a
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: special election. You can't throw a special election together in
• 15:12

• 18:54
  Speaker 2: the one and only Relief Factor. I played back today
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: on The Mike Gallagher Show the argument you and I
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: had about our friend Rob Schneider taken.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: On Texas Habit Update two, Give me an update?
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Did he respond? Finally, Yes, he did. Oh good good.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I was hoping he would tell it. So you set
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: it up, talk about what he posted, and I'll talk
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: about the pushback that you.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Gave him, and then the pushback you gave me, which
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: is pretty excitingness. So anyway, Rob Schneider SNL funny movies, awesome,
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: great throw in. Additionally, happens to be someone from the
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: popular culture who appears to be conservative. Fantastic, another layer
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: of love. Now throw in that. One of Rob's concerns
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: du jour is the advance of Islamism in America and
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: specifically in Texas. So so far, great, great, and great.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: His chosen device His chosen method of making clear his
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: level of concern is to smear online Texas Governor Greg Abbott,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, and Attorney General Ken Paxton as
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: somehow thoroughly willing accomplices in the overrun of Texas by Islamism,
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: as if they have done nothing, you're being you know,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: conquered in broad daylight, as his thing.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Well, and he posted a picture of them.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: He was like wearing full hyjabs Abbitt, Pats and Patrick.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: I've got to say it looks pretty funny, but he's
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: deadly serious. And okay, everybody should be serious about this.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: I'm serious about this, You're serious about this. I took
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: a look at this, and again in an election season,
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: which is not really a great time to be doing this.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: It absolutely suppresses some degree of Republican enthusiasm, which is
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: not good. But the notion that nothing has been done
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: is simply factually false. If anybody thinks that there's more
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: we can do, great, tell us constructively what this might be.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Rob Schneider's stunt online over the weekend and his statement
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: released this morning that I shared in detail is performative nonsense.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Now I brought this and then you scolded me as
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: if my observation about his rhetorical excess meant that I
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: was faulting him for being concerned. I'm not. We should
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: all be concerned. His concern is well based. But imagine
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: somebody saying, hey, Mike Trump sucks on gender issues because
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: we haven't gotten rid of all the surgeries or shut
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: down all It's like, wait a minute, while people are
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: doing what they can, the notion that that that it's
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: not enough must be joined with what's what you think
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: is not being done. So I invited I had at
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: a connection, reached out to Rob to be on the show.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: As of when you and I spoke this morning, I
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: had not heard back. I have now, But let me
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: pause and lets you and I go through a little
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: bit here. Did you understand kind of when I was
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: saying that I'm not faulting him from being concerned and
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: we should be concerned, but that kind of of of
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: amplification and exaggeration and performative excess is not helpful to
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: the fight.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I think every time you defend the establishment, you're
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: gonna rub people the wrong way. Because we're in the
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: mood of not defending establishment politicians. Frankly, Democrats or Republicans.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: People are deeply concerned about the presence of these Islamic communities,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: and one of them got shot down, Thank goodness. In Texas,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: somebody just but somebody after you and I spill, I mean,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: I got a flood of text messages after they exchange
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: you and I had and and and you know, it
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean anything. It's not very anecdotal. But most of
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: the Texters agreed with me that let's Rob's got a
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: point that there are still problems in our communities with
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: the Islamification of the state.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Hasn't been what has not been done, Well, there's genius.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Geniuses tell you the specific policy that is not They're.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Still well, they're still there.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: We're not the I mean we have we have we
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: have bank robberies or the police of failure.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: You're well, no, that's not to say you can't equa
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: you can't expect it's a Muslim community with a bank robbery.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Don't understand. I'm saying that an effort to stop something
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: or an effort to stem something is not a damnable
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: failure because a smidgeon of it still exists and they're
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: still trying. You're darn right, they're trying.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Well, is it? Is it a smidgeon? Because somebody told
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: me Richardson's gone? Somebody?
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, well, you know, you know what that's called.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Somebody saw an Indian guy at Costco. That's what that's called.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: But it's one person. It's absolutely a concern that we
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: should be vigilant about. And I'm saying we as a
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: state have been very vigilant about this. I laid out
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: part and parcel of every bill, every pronouncement, every lawsuit.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: The notion that we've done nothing is just stupid and
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: it's a lie. Now, if all these people who are
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: all torked off and hopped up, from Rob Schneider to
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: anybody else, thinks that we really haven't done enough, tell
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: me what you want to do. And the absence of
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: specific shows that what they've done is Jave just walked
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: outside their door and said, well, there are too many
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: swarthy people in this neighborhood. We must not be doing enough,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: and we need to be fighting smarter and more specifically.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Well, let's let's look at Rob Schneider's words. He said,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: here's what we must do. We must all show up
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: to the polls. Then We must keep showing up to
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: town hall, city councils, meeting greets. We need to keep
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: the pressure on and make sure our politicians actually represent us.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Get real conservatives into office, keep the pressure on, get
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: our churches engaged, because I can promise you every one
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: of the three hundred and thirty plus mosques in Texas
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: will be showing up to vote. We got a.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Host because you're totally right. So here here's big your genius,
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Rob Schneider saying we must show.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Up to the point putting him down for this bar.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: Because the guy because well when I tell you how
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: he responded to me, you'll probably get a little bit
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: of this because he's an asshole too. That's another thing.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: So the second thing is about this, we need to
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: elect more, you know, substantial people. He's, by the way,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: one hundred percent right about that. So smearing Ken Paxton
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: ninety nine days before the midterms, Hey, Rob, does that
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: help him beat Tallerico? You flipping genius? Does it is that?
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Tell me how that's helpful? Tell me how that's.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Well, well it's not. But I'm starting to get a
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: sense that maybe he insulted you in whatever he said
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: to you today and that's that's because because here's a
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: text I got from it. Here's a text I got
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: from a from a friend of mine who said, why
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: he doesn't agree with you and agreed with me and
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Rob Schneider a lifelong textan we have been invaded. Abbott
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: has been terrible on this subject. And now I don't know.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I'm just talking to me, and neither does this guy.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, so again, every single one of you people,
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: text it to me, now, send it via email, skywrite
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: it in the sky.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: What have we not done?
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: And by the way, there may be an answer to that,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: but none of these people have that answer. They just
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: want to bitch and fuss and moan and performatively say,
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: look at me, I'm more worked up about this than
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: you are. And it's just for show now for just
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: ordinary folks on the text line, I hold them in
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: higher regard. But he can take a look at this
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: and there are listen, the h one b stuff. There
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: are areas of absolute concern, absolutely, and we should all
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: work together and be vigilant about fighting any semblance of
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Sharia law, Sharia courts, islamicization, epic city, all those things.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: But but this kind, this kind of of of stunt
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: is not.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Well, tell us tell us your Rob, tell us your
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Rob Scheider. Well, here we go.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Now, I was, I was every bit has worked up
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: about this before he got back, before he got back
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: in touch.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Now wrapped up, now you're this morning. No, No, it's
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: because he because he wasn't one yet. He was just
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: he's not an asshole. He's not. Oh, he's a good guy.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: I've been on stage with him, I've been backstage with
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: him before, I've gotten to know him a little bit
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: over the years. He's not what what what did he do?
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Guess what? Mad?
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Whoop de flip and do about your cute little stories
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: with Rob Schneider. I'm sure And by the way, there
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: is a likability to him. Sure, that's been a kind
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: of that's had that has made him and I'm sure
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: will continue to make him a pretty valuable voice. And
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: I really think he can be and will be. So
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: just one of these things is not like the other.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Listen to my invitations and his reply. Okay, Hello, Rob,
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: It's Mark Davis at Salem Media, Dallas. Could you join
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: us at nine oh five am Central on six sixty
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: am the answer to discuss your concerns about Islam in Texas.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Reaction has been mixed, a combination of support for the
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: proper alarm you share and questions about the optics of
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: criticizing our top officials as being soft in an election season.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: If you're up for it, we'd love to have you.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: It would be by phone twelve to fifteen minutes.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: So that was at sixty five.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Very gracious, very well written. Very you're not taking necessarily
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: telegraphing that you're gonna go off on.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Him, And nor would I have. I would have been
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: filled with goodwill, et cetera, et cetera, He replies at
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: eight forty two.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Good will nothing screams goodwill. You know nothing, the screams goodwill.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I call him an asshole. Go ahead, that's after the fact.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: It's not justified. O pass pass, He replies. I answered
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: those very questions in my statement. Perhaps you should read it.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: If you, oh, okay, you don't you don't do Mark Davis, you.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Don't you know what?
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Yes you do, and yes you can come after me
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: about anything. But this is just stupid. So and I
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: thought I could let it go because that's exactly what
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: it deserves. There's wisdom and knowing whom to ignore. And
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: if Rob becomes just such a person for this little chapter,
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: I look forward to paying attention to him again on
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: another issue where where he's better.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Well, and admittedly you're right, a couple of encounters for
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: five minutes in a green room doesn't matter, doesn't mean anything.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: But you know what I like, But I like it,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: But I like you what he does. I like what
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: he stands, ends up and does the course, stand up
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: routines that are completely politically incorrect. He takes on the establishment.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: He's a free speech hero.
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: And here's the thing where you you sometimes don't read
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: the room, and this is what you're not recognized.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: I don't give two flips.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: Well I know you don't because you're not recognizing that
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: when you get all bent out of shape over somebody
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: attacking the establishment, you come off like the establishment. Ken
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Paxton the establishment. No, but Greg Abbott is the Texas
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: alledged Patrick the established, the Texas legislature. Answer answer the question,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I am answering the question. He's basically I mean, of
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: course he went overboard and putting any jobs on their
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: heads and all that. I get that.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: It's a smear of the entire state effort on this
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: the state effort to to to to stand up to
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: this deserves more respect than that. And if he constructively
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: has ideas on how to do it better, we get it.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: We get you keep saying, lay out the you want
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: to comic to lay out the legislative bills and the
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: verbiage that you want the House of Representatives? Has the
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: state of Has the state of Texas been successful in
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: thwarting the Islamification of Texas?
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Epic City dead? Jeffrees Every elected official ranks this, along
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: with property taxes and data centers, as a top three
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: issue for the entire state the next year's legislative session.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: So you know what, Yes, here's the rest of here's
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: the So. I thought I could let it go, But
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: when somebody says you'd read it, I figured let's do this.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: I said, I have read your statement and addressed it
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: on the show. I find the core concerns laudable. The
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: overly broad and uninformed smear, especially of Paxton and Patrick,
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: not so much. Perhaps the next statement can contain specifics
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: on what you think leaders are not doing. Meanwhile, thanks
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: for years of great entertainment and for additional years of
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: inspiring conservative commentary. You welcome on the show. You're welcome
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: on the show anytime, agree or disagree.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Good for you. He responded that, yeah you did. What
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: do you say to that? Go to hell?
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: He craff and guy, hey, talk show boy, blow me. No,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: it's non kidding's no kidding. Sorry, what do you say
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: to that? It's laughably obvious what these leaders are not doing.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: You're being conquered in broad daylight, good day. And so
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: this chapter is I get it. I get it, and
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: I get it. I look and again I'm done with him.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: I'm not putting a pin in him in Frae. This
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: is just one thing. You know what, I think. I
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: think he's been reading some stuff, hearing some people equally
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: to about whom I would say the same thing. Good
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: for you for being concerned. But I'm never as you
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: guys aren't doing anything.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Somebody when somebody reaches out in good faith like that,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: like you did, and somebody is clearly trying to take
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: the high road here and say let's have a good
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: robust conversation about no interest in that whatsoever, and look
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: at just say not be his thing. I'll bet he's
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: gotten burned in radio interviews over the years. So maybe
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: he's a little skitty, my conservative. Well, he had no
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: interest in engaging. And you said something interesting three four
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: minutes ago, Hey, Mark, you want a comedian to give
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: policy positions?
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah? You know what if the median is going to
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: step out into this arena and smear an entire state
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: full of officials, Yeah, you better dog on. Well be
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: ready to back up again.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: First of all, it's so peculiar to me that you
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: keep using this word smear as if as if these
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: these lifelong Republican politicians are your your your brothers in
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: in in solidarity or something. They're establishment politicians. And he's
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: saying what I'm I'm addressing your specific pushback, which is,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: do you want with specificity, with specificity? What does he want?
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: He lays it out. I just read it to you.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: What he says about churches showing up, going to the
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: ballance box.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: He's identified, he's identified that we are all aware of
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: the problem. Every single person knows exactly what he's talking about.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: He's asking for, does he have an expectation that with
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: the things that that that Abbott and Patrick and Paxton
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: in particular, right, none would he expect that that all
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: the Muslims are just shrivel up and stop trying this.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: This is a war, this is a battle, and he
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: is right, and he's on the right side of it
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: and right to call for people to take up ideological
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: arms against it. But the notion that it hasn't been
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: eradicated on my timetable, So all these people deserve to
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: be mocked and derided by me.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Screw you, buddy, screw you your reactions. It seems a
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: little over the top for me. I don't know why.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know why he's made you so angry. I mean,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: you're you. You mean to tell me that if a
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: caller to your show says, you know what, Mark, I
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: just don't think the Texas legislature and and this this
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: bunch with with Abbot and Packston have done enough on
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: this particular subject. You fly into this this tizzy about
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: these good people. I mean, it's very strange. It's like
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: a stat It's like going after the Republican machine in
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Texas is your achilles heel, Like somehow that bothers you.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: You're right machine, you're.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: In particular. Of course, it's a it's a better Abbot
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: now than four years ago. Yeah, with Pat, with Patrick
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: and Paxton. The notion that they are soft on no,
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: I got them. How high do you have to be?
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: I agree, But when somebody's bullshitting people, but it's.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Just it just it's just it's just it's just funny
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: that you're getting so angry about it. It's like, I mean, look,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: we are all we are. We are tired of Republican
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: and I'm not sending this directed to Texas, but when
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: tired of Republicans writ large not getting crap done, we
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: are tired. We are tired of getting pushed around by this.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: These idiot democrats. They want to go off on vacation.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: They want to go, by the way, where's your sainted
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Ted Cruz? Demanding that we not take vacation, They not
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: take vacation. Next one, there's four senators, Rick Scott, who else?
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Ashley Moody, I think, Jim Jim Banks. I forget the
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: fourth one. Ted Cruse ain't on that list. Jed Brews
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: want to go on a thirty seven day vacation when
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: they haven't passed the Save Him Act, you know what
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: I mean? And it's like, and I like Ted Cruz,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: but come on, guys, this is under This is fundamental
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: and I did a whole thing today, Mark on the show,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: asking people why they thought Thune won't budge on the
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Save America Act. When you usual to say, well, well,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of them were saying, he's he's compromised, he's
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: getting bought off, he's getting paid off, somehow, he hates Trump,
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: he's a he's a Mitch McConnell, Tody.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: The money thing. I think it's almost always idealized. I
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: think it has to do with a TD, with Trump hesitancy,
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: at least, if not for TDS notion that he's We
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: always like to think when things are inexplicable, we think
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: somebody is being paid, so he ain't getting paid. But
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: it is inexplicable.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Sometimes the things that you think are could be the
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: case are the case. I mean, something is weird here.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: We've all seen the polling, eighty eighty five percent. You
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: got Trump hammering Thune now. This morning, Trump put out
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: a post on social media, John Thune should not allow
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: the US Senate to leave town until it passes the
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Save America Act, or far better still, terminate the filibuster,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: where Republicans could then quickly pass everything they ever dreamed of,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: including a full and deep throated Save America Act. He
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: said at the end, he said, the dumb the Democrats,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: as he calls them, they'll do it on day one.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: They can't believe how lucky they got with this Senate leadership.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: So now after playing foot seat with Thune for a while,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: now he's now he's putting the hammer down.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: And properly so and rightfully so. And in this we
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: have found a great example of Republicans who have failed
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: to do everything they could on an issue, not to
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: bring everything back around.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Amen, and so proper tark. And so the microcosm of
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: that might be Texas. Rob Schneider might be feeling that
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: frustration to a degree. A lot of our textures are too,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: And so I just I just think we've got to
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: expect more from our leadership, maybe not necessarily on this
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: this Islam issue. Look here in New York City, can
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: you imagine waking up or being woken up at six
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: seven in the morning to the Muslim call to prayer
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: on speakers blasting in your neighborhood. How would that go
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: over in uh, you know, in uh in Keller, Texas.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: I try to funny pick your suburb because it may
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: soon be coming to some of the that's the suburban community.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Point, but markets and I'm kind of a I'm funny
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: about noise. I don't know how you are, But having
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: lived in a high rise in Manhattan for years, noise
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: doesn't really get to me anymore. I sleep with air plugs,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: horns honking and all that crap. You don't It doesn't
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: bother me that much. But if I'm in some suburb
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: with a leafy you know, birds chirping, and all of
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: a sudden, oh you get that. Can you imagine that
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: at six or seven in the morning, I think I'd
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: lose my mind.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Here is the is this Is this a good point
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: or a false equivalency? Because here's what some people what
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: I've heard some people say. Yeah, people talked about a
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: noise ordinance, or people talked about the sound of the
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Islamic called a prayer and some of the boroughs of
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: New York City. I know it's not it's not the
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: same theologically, obviously, but is it a different facet of
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: the same issue.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Church bells?
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: Get ready, church bells exactly right? I know you're going
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: if Saint Patrick's can ring them at eight am? Soaking
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: the mosque three blocks down.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Well, the one that I saw, I think was six
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: in the morning. I think the Muslim called.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: That would be a note, well, that would be a
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: note of me for from the bells church many good.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: And I ain't clanging any bells at six in the
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: morning that I know of. Oh boy, But I like
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: it when we disagree. But you know what that we
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: can both agree on. You and I bring everybody together.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: What's something we can we can swell being heart healthy?
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: And you, you, you took us through your experience last
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: week of of getting that angie of plasty. I then,
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: like you know, ran right out and got a body
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: scan like you did, and sure enough they found some
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: plaque in my widow maker. And so look the doctors
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: are and I'm going to get another test next week
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: or two weeks from now where they're going to the die.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: I think you went through that too, where they do
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: a cardio thing and they put the die in you,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: slide you in the tube and they look again. Because
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: as I learned, I'm learning everything now about heart health.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Not only does the body scan doesn't show apparently soft plac,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: it shows hard plack. And you want to you gotta
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: we got to watch the soft plaque too, according to
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: my doc, and so this die can do that. What
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: I do know is you got to take the weight off.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: You got to keep your blood pressure under control, you
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: got to exercise. I'm doing all of that. And the
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: way that I've taken the weight off, of course is
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition. Look, this is this is
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: such a godsend in my life. Everybody I know who's
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: tried it has kept the weight off. I lost over
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: fifty and I've kept it off. Then I put a
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: little bit of it back on, and then I've lost
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: about twenty here in the last just five four or
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: five weeks. Quick fixes are going to fail, but doctor
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Ashley Lucas's program has been the game changer for me.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: And I'm convinced that, Look, if I've got a fighting
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: chance to stay ahead of all this stuff, I'll do
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: it with the weight loss. I'll do it with good
• 40:03

• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Our pal Joey is in South Carolina. You and I
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: just touched on Darlene Graham this morning. Can we kind
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: of end with a little conversation about.
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Senator Graham's I caught grief off of my text line
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: about that. You go first, and I'll tell you what
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: somebody said.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: To me, well, this week Lindsey Graham will be laid
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: to rest. There'll be services at the National Cathedral in Washington,
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: d C. Tomorrow. Sure to be a very I'm sure impressive,
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: you know, memorial send off for him in d C.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: At our nation's capitol where he spends so much time,
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: and then to his hometown. Then they're going to go
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: to South Carolina and they're going to to bury him there.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: There'll be services in Pickens, South Carolina, and Joey is
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: going to be there to cover the funeral for us
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: on the Mike Gallagher Show. Hey, why don't we get
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: him on the podcast tomorrow? You up for that? By
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: all means, why not Let's see if we can get
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: him on and we maybe could do a report. Maybe
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: we could kind of get him on the show tomorrow
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: and fill us in from our nation's capital. But of course,
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: the political aspect of this, besides the human sorrow of
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: losing a guy unexpectedly like that who had had a
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: heart attack after hardening of the arteries that he was
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: evidently unaware of. Maybe now we got to dive into
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: who's going to fill his seat? Darlene Graham nordone is
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: his little sister, and he has had just a lifelong mentorship.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: She described him once as mother, father and you know,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: big brother, all wrapped up into one because their parents
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: died when they were both relatively young. She was thirteen,
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: he was twenty one. He raised her, he taught her,
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: he mentored her. She's apparently a nice lady, but nobody
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: knows anything about her. And now she wants after being
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: promised that she was going to be the placeholder and
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: just temporarily until they could until the general now's she
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: wants the job full time, and a lot of people
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: are mark You know, I know South Carolina, the pushback
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: there is pretty big. But I will tell you this,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: the pushback against Lindsey was always big, and yet he
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: always won in a landslide. Yes, nobody ever came close
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: to him. And right now she's ahead in most of
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: the polling. So what say you tell us about the
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: pushback you got and tell him bring us up to
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: speed on your experience with Darlene Graham Nordon.
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: She obviously has the name recognition and obviously has the
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: sympathy vote in people feeling as they should about her,
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: grieving with her and wishing her every good thing and
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: praying for her in that whole family. Does that instantly
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: translate to, hey, this lady needs to be a United
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: States Senator for six years. No, not necessarily. With people
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: like Ralph Norman, like Russell Fryer, like Mark Sandford, maybe
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: Pam Evatt running real conservatives with real track records, I
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: think it's time to opt in in that direction. I
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: said so on the show today. And I don't know
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: if it's like somebody in Darlene's press shop or something.
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: I don't think. SO said don't why speak ill of her?
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: If you like other candidates, lift them up without criticizing her.
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: I'm not criticizing her per se. I'm saying that what
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: she suddenly I defended her when people got kind of
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: snarky when she was going to be the placeholder for
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: a few months. I thought it was kind of I
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: thought it was kind of poetic. I thought it was beautiful.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: I thought it was fitting and appropriate. But then all
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, ten minutes later, bam, I want the
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: full six years. It's like what WHOA?
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: Now we have far more serious questions and she doesn't,
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: for the moment want to answer them. And I listen,
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: We're going to give everybody all the latitude we can
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: when they're grieving. They got funerals to go to. I
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: get it, I get it, I get it. But if
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: this lady has made the decision to enter the fray,
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: to get into the arena and be a real senator,
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: I do not want to hear and South Carolinians do
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: not want to hear that. I can't talk to you
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: right now because the funerals are next week.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: There was an AI version of her surrounded by the reporters,
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: and it was real exaggerated, and it was her pretending
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: to say, don't you dare ask me questions? I'm grieving.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: Can't you see I'm grieving. You need to direct those
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: questions to my staff. And a lot of the comments
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: about that post were that really isn't all that far
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: from what's happening.
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: Here, And so once again it's one of those real
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: tough things because nobody wants to deny or begrudge her
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: her feelings or her this. But if she wasn't ready
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: to go day one, start answering serious questions, how conservative
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: are you? Will you be as good, if not maybe
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: even more of a Trump ally than Lindsey was over
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: his years. These are valid questions that deserve and by
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: to South Carolina's credit, this is not you know, Texas,
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: God blessed Texas, but we took two three months to
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: get from a campaign to a election day to a runoff.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: South Carolina is going to have this all done within weeks.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: That means there's added urgency, added immediacy. So God bless her.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: I wish her every good thing. But with at least two,
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: maybe three, maybe four proven conservatives on the ballot, I'm
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: just if I'm in South Carolina, I couldn't do it.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: No, I can't. I can't. I couldn't do it either.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: So we'll keep you up to date. We'll maybe check
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: in with Joey tomorrow, but definitely covering the funeral on
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: the Mike Callagher Show. I'm sure you'll mention it tomorrow morning.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: I've headed out of here. I got a plane to catch.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: I'm on a real airline this time, not that Allegiant
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: isn't a real airline, but can I get this off
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: my chest? Of course? Have you ever flow an Allegiant?
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: I have not. Well, I booked a ticket because I
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: go back and forth from Tampa to Greenville, a lot
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: right Greenville, South Carolina, which is like my home away
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: from home, Tampa, which is with the Tampa Bay where
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: I live. And Allegiant has nonstops. Most of the conventional
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: airlines you got to go, you know, through Doubt, you
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: gotta go through Atlanta, or you got to go through Dallas.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: You go through all these. But Allegiant, now, of course,
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: the fair is like thirty seven cents to get from
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: point eight to point B. I don't know how these
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: budget airlines do it. Well, I know how they do it.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: They tack on if you go to the if you
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: go to the bathroom, but it's a twenty five dollars
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: surch arge. You use the laboratory. You want tires on
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: the plane, that's right, right right. You want you want
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: your windows to be open or closed. So I have
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: to I book a flight on Allegiant, and I when
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: the cheap, when the fair is cheap, I do my
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: old little trick. When I'm not in first class, buy
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: two seats because you get to spread out you get them.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: This is I always do this. Michael Gallagher is passenger one.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: Extra seat. Gallagher is passenger number two. I mean when
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: the fair is ninety nine dollars. Okay, now it's two
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: hundred bucks. And I've got two seats. I can spread out,
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: I can put magazines next to me. So I've got
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: two seats that I need to cancel on Allegiant going
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: like back from Greenville to Tampa. Well, good luck canceling
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: a flight on Allegiant. I caught. I couldn't. They wouldn't
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: let me do it online. They kept saying, we're a
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: non refundable airline. You're just out of luck. No money
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: back or no or a travel credit. I'm give me
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: a credit for a future flight, right, No, no, we
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: keep the money. This is like, you know, almost a week.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: Didn't you know that going in?
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: I did not know that going I didn't think any airline.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: I thought they weren't allowed to do that. I thought
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: they said the airline in I so guess. So they said,
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: call our customer service rip line if you have questions. Okay,
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: sure I call. It's a seven oh two area code,
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: so I guess Allegian is Vegas, Vegas exactly, So I
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: call the number. Hello, We're sorry. Your wait time today
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: will be between are you ready for this? Three and
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: four hours that's the waight time, and they're telling you
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: between three and four hours. So I'm out of luck.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: I've just lost the money, I guess, because I'm not
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: gonna wait man. So beware some of these and again
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: God bless them. You know, there's a very culture social
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: aspect to these low cost, low budget airlines, like.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: They really fel in need, they really fill it.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Well, they fill the need. But you know, that's why
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: you see a lot of these brawls on social media
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: that are happening on Spirit and they're happening on Allegian,
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: and they're happening on these discount airlines because people, I mean,
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: it sounds so condescending of us Mark, but isn't it
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: true that people who ordinarily wouldn't be able to afford
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: to fly can afford to fly. And maybe they just
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: don't have the I don't know, the decorum that you
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: think they would have.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: On an airpaese it could be. But also, I mean, yes,
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: is that part of it.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: But also flying used to be so pleasant and it's
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: just become torture, even on a real airline with the
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: normal middle of the plane kind of scene. It's all
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: become like a cattle call. You mentioned Spirit. I think
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: I might have told. I don't know if it's told
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: this joke before back and every once every ten years,
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: SNL can be funny. I think it was Colins. On
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: weekend update, the story was this American Airlines has set
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: a record in aviation by having a eighteen hour flight
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: longest flight possible eighteen hours from New York City to Sydney, Australia.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: Not to be outdone, Spirit Airlines is introduced it's own
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: eighteen hour flight from New York to Boston.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: All right, tip your waitresses, he's gonna be here all week.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: We're gonna be back tomorrow. Another episode of eminem Extra.
• 51:31
