Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Welcome to a meeting of the minds crafted from decades
- 0:05Speaker 1: of talk show experience, an extension of the magic they've
- 0:08Speaker 1: created together on radio in the phenomenon called M and
- 0:12Speaker 1: M Hot Topics in the News and Wisdom from Light.
- 0:16Speaker 1: It's Mark Davis and Mike Gallagher. This is eminem Extra and.
- 0:22Speaker 2: A welcome to you on this Tuesday, the fourteenth of
- 0:24Speaker 2: July at six sixty am. The answer deep in the
- 0:27Speaker 2: heart of sexes. I'm Mark Davis.
- 0:30Speaker 3: And I'm Mike Gallagher. However, well we did it right
- 0:32Speaker 3: that time. I love it.
- 0:34Speaker 2: You insisted on the contrived handoff and then left me hanging.
- 0:37Speaker 2: I mean, then you're going here. Well, you caught me
- 0:39Speaker 2: by surprise. I didn't know we were gonna. I didn't
- 0:41Speaker 2: know because we had a little dry run there a
- 0:43Speaker 2: minute ago and we had somebody.
- 0:45Speaker 3: We have the right thing. I don't like it too
- 0:47Speaker 3: much to drive.
- 0:48Speaker 2: If you go, it does it is just like army.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Ar'm David Bernkley, which which is fine. But I have
- 0:54Speaker 2: a feeling if you start, just go for ten seconds
- 0:57Speaker 2: or thirty. If I start, just go.
- 0:59Speaker 3: I just don't like I'm wear I don't like that
- 1:02Speaker 3: I'm wearing a deep navy blue Mizzen and Maine golf shirt,
- 1:06Speaker 3: and I'm blending into the background. I look like I
- 1:08Speaker 3: look like a disembodied head. Today.
- 1:10Speaker 2: It's just all no, no, no, no, no, no, You're fine.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Speak speak speaking of like green screen and technologies that
- 1:16Speaker 2: I don't understand. Is there a color that I would
- 1:19Speaker 2: wear that would be that is there? I mean, I
- 1:21Speaker 2: don't happen to have anything that's deep, weird, lime, fluorescent green,
- 1:24Speaker 2: like green screens are. But is there? Because I think
- 1:26Speaker 2: I showed up for something on sale news channel and
- 1:28Speaker 2: they say, don't wear like a particular tie or a
- 1:30Speaker 2: shirt or there was some pattern that made the cameras
- 1:34Speaker 2: burst into flames.
- 1:34Speaker 3: Well, but you don't have But you don't have a
- 1:36Speaker 3: green screen. You have a monitor, an actual monitor behind you, right.
- 1:39Speaker 3: If you had a green screen, you know that would
- 1:41Speaker 3: be a problem. But if you don't have a green screen,
- 1:43Speaker 3: I think you're fine. I think you'd wear any color
- 1:45Speaker 3: you want, although again, if you want to look like
- 1:48Speaker 3: grain the disembodied head, wear a dark floor blue. I
- 1:53Speaker 3: was right that Mizzen and Main store in Tampa is closed.
- 1:57Speaker 3: This is a problem, there's a crisis. Well, it's like
- 1:59Speaker 3: God have. We got a couple of them here in DFW. Apparently, Well,
- 2:02Speaker 3: I need to come to DFW. I need to come
- 2:04Speaker 3: see you guys. I gotta go. I gotta check things out,
- 2:07Speaker 3: gotta go. Well, happy Tuesday, my friend. What's going on?
- 2:10Speaker 3: What's up in your well?
- 2:11Speaker 2: Speaking of speaking of a monitor in the room, do
- 2:13Speaker 2: you have Do you have Fox News on anywhere right now?
- 2:16Speaker 3: I do? I do?
- 2:17Speaker 2: Okay, I do see you see Trump? Just it's so
- 2:19Speaker 2: funny because you've talked about how much Trump likes gold.
- 2:22Speaker 2: It's a gold chair, there's gold stuff hanging off the fireplace.
- 2:26Speaker 2: Do you know who he's He's in there with a
- 2:28Speaker 2: world leader and they're running it live on Fox News
- 2:31Speaker 2: right now twelve oh seven Eastern eleven oh seven?
- 2:34Speaker 3: Are you promoting Fox News in the middle of our
- 2:36Speaker 3: live YouTube thing? Listen, I haven't don't leave us, please
- 2:40Speaker 3: please don't leave us. Stay with us.
- 2:41Speaker 2: If any if he declares one in another country, we
- 2:44Speaker 2: will tell you. But in fact, that's kind of the
- 2:46Speaker 2: irony because he just moments ago he said, this guy's
- 2:49Speaker 2: said a year, he's young, he's handsome, he's the Prime
- 2:52Speaker 2: Minister of Iraq. Iraq. How you how things change? How
- 3:00Speaker 2: do you think in some future year an Iranian leader
- 3:03Speaker 2: will sit in that chair and trouble's well, well Trump
- 3:06Speaker 2: will be there anymore. But you know, a president Baron
- 3:08Speaker 2: Trump will say, this guy's so cool. You know the
- 3:11Speaker 2: Middle East. If there's the only thing that's certain in
- 3:13Speaker 2: the Middle East, I guess is change. But some things
- 3:16Speaker 2: seem to never change, like the unreliability of Iran. We're
- 3:20Speaker 2: just bombing the stuffing out of more things, which I'm
- 3:22Speaker 2: totally on board with. But I don't know where this is.
- 3:26Speaker 3: This is this has got to get resolved. Mark, this
- 3:29Speaker 3: can't go on. We had a great news today with
- 3:31Speaker 3: inflation lowest drop, lowest one month drop since April of
- 3:37Speaker 3: twenty twenty. Remember April of twenty twenty.
- 3:41Speaker 2: What was going on?
- 3:42Speaker 3: Yeah, funny little thing called the coronavirus, and so the
- 3:47Speaker 3: whole world was upside down, but we were bouncing back. Well,
- 3:51Speaker 3: now it's the biggest drop now. I don't know if
- 3:53Speaker 3: this holds. What are gas prices looking like in North
- 3:56Speaker 3: Texas these days?
- 3:57Speaker 2: It's the weird Okay, good better than California. I don't
- 4:00Speaker 2: know if they're as good as Florida. We're in the
- 4:03Speaker 2: high twos or something I think for an average Okay,
- 4:05Speaker 2: here's the thing. There are two things that mess me
- 4:07Speaker 2: up when you're asking me about gas prices.
- 4:09Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 4:10Speaker 2: So one is Charmed Life. I don't do all right, Okay,
- 4:17Speaker 2: I don't do high test. It's kind of funny. I
- 4:19Speaker 2: have a car that says you need high test, you
- 4:22Speaker 2: need ninety five octane. No, my dad told me use
- 4:27Speaker 2: the lowest octane you can if the engine doesn't knock.
- 4:32Speaker 2: And that was probably nineteen seventy three style advice on
- 4:35Speaker 2: an Oldsmubal cutlass. But I still do. I use mid
- 4:38Speaker 2: grade on a car that tells me for all the
- 4:40Speaker 2: world that it needs to be high test. And I've
- 4:42Speaker 2: been fine. Number two thing on just Charmed Life. I
- 4:47Speaker 2: don't pay dutallely squad attention to gas prices. I do
- 4:50Speaker 2: overall whether they're high five dollars versus three dollars. But
- 4:53Speaker 2: if I ever gone, you know, is it two seventy
- 4:57Speaker 2: three or three twenty something?
- 5:00Speaker 4: Haven't?
- 5:00Speaker 2: I don't?
- 5:02Speaker 5: I know?
- 5:02Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you God for more.
- 5:04Speaker 3: Well, we're both but we're both, we're both blessed. But
- 5:06Speaker 3: I think it's incumbent upon both of us to always
- 5:09Speaker 3: put ourselves in the shoes of somebody making forty nine
- 5:12Speaker 3: thousand dollars a year. And that's what's important, because you're right.
- 5:16Speaker 3: I mean, I have to admit, when you're blessed with
- 5:18Speaker 3: a good living, those kind of things don't hurt as
- 5:21Speaker 3: much as they do a school teacher or a firefighter
- 5:23Speaker 3: or somebody who's out there slugging away. And I'm not
- 5:26Speaker 3: trying to sound holier than that, because you're you know,
- 5:28Speaker 3: you're being candid and you're being honest, and me too.
- 5:31Speaker 3: I mean, people get mad you joke about, you know,
- 5:35Speaker 3: me always flying first class and I had Sometimes I'll
- 5:38Speaker 3: inevitably get an email from somebody saying, boy, I just
- 5:41Speaker 3: love to have your problem, you know, about which.
- 5:44Speaker 2: It's a good check for it's a real reality check
- 5:46Speaker 2: for us too. Those are value. Really, I find what
- 5:49Speaker 2: you're looking for. Now, that's funny. That's weird. So here's
- 5:51Speaker 2: additional weirdness. I said something about the high two's right
- 5:54Speaker 2: where in my shop, and at one point I think
- 5:56Speaker 2: I found regular that was like two eighty two ninety
- 5:59Speaker 2: something somewhere. Well, I need to go back there, apparently,
- 6:03Speaker 2: because the average price for regular in Texas right now
- 6:07Speaker 2: is three forty two, So three two is the average
- 6:11Speaker 2: fight It cheaper than that. So yeah, it's yep.
- 6:14Speaker 3: Well, we're going to see where it is. I mean,
- 6:15Speaker 3: it's gonna it's gonna probably keep going up if we
- 6:18Speaker 3: can't get now here's the question, though, The big question
- 6:21Speaker 3: is will the insanity of the twenty twenty six Democrat
- 6:25Speaker 3: Party trump the concerns that people have about affordability. I
- 6:29Speaker 3: saw somebody on on X last night posted so far
- 6:33Speaker 3: this month and just in July, and there are still,
- 6:36Speaker 3: you know, sixteen days left in the month. So far
- 6:39Speaker 3: Democrats have supported a nazi candidate in Maine who sexually
- 6:43Speaker 3: assaulted multiple women, a child rapist in Minnesota who got deported,
- 6:48Speaker 3: and a guy who just tried to murder federal agents
- 6:51Speaker 3: with his vehicle, and we still have sixteen days to go.
- 6:55Speaker 2: I mean, other than that, they're doing great there. They're
- 6:58Speaker 2: in touch with the common man.
- 6:59Speaker 3: They're they're nuts. I mean, this is the kind of
- 7:02Speaker 3: this is what the party represents today. And I just
- 7:05Speaker 3: got to believe that normal Americans are gonna say, I
- 7:07Speaker 3: can't vote for this. I can't vote the Tim Waltz thing.
- 7:11Speaker 3: I asked you about this briefly this morning. I spent
- 7:13Speaker 3: a considerable amount of time on this on the show today,
- 7:16Speaker 3: and I kept begging callers from Minnesota to say, what
- 7:20Speaker 3: am I missing about this story?
- 7:21Speaker 6: What?
- 7:22Speaker 3: What have I not? What am I getting wrong here?
- 7:25Speaker 3: Tim Waltz evidently saw fit to lead his pardon board
- 7:30Speaker 3: that he runs and pardon a convicted child rapist Okay
- 7:35Speaker 3: from Laos from Laos, And the reason he wanted to
- 7:39Speaker 3: give him a pardon over the child rape charges is
- 7:44Speaker 3: because he was about to be deported and Tim Waltz
- 7:47Speaker 3: couldn't bear to have the guy deport it. And I thought,
- 7:51Speaker 3: there is no way in hell that he's actually defending
- 7:57Speaker 3: a child rapist from deportation. That just isn't possible. And incidentally,
- 8:01Speaker 3: in case anybody who's on the podcast today thinks that
- 8:05Speaker 3: I'm having a complete stroke, here he is the governor
- 8:10Speaker 3: of Minnesota on record explaining why he didn't want to
- 8:16Speaker 3: deport and why he gave a pardon to the soon
- 8:20Speaker 3: to be deported child rapists from Laos.
- 8:23Speaker 7: In case, I would state this that I can find
- 8:27Speaker 7: no reason how Minnesota will be safer or better if
- 8:31Speaker 7: mister Vang is deported to a country he has not
- 8:33Speaker 7: been to since he was a child.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Take take politics out of that, mark, take all the
- 8:38Speaker 3: politics you want out of it. What politician goes in
- 8:41Speaker 3: front of the cameras and says, I can find no
- 8:44Speaker 3: reason that our community would be made safer if a
- 8:47Speaker 3: child rapist weren't in our community. How could that even happen?
- 8:52Speaker 2: How about something called principle standing up for what's right?
- 8:55Speaker 2: I mean, just just having some semblance of uh of
- 9:01Speaker 2: of decorum, that indition that your state stands for something.
- 9:06Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know, And and I also
- 9:09Speaker 2: looked a little deeper after you brought this up that
- 9:10Speaker 2: they looked at that apparently that he'd expressed some contrition. Okay,
- 9:15Speaker 2: that's better than Jeffrey Dogs. It was twenty years ago,
- 9:21Speaker 2: so okay, there's that. But still it's yeah.
- 9:25Speaker 3: There's no that. And I here's what I went through
- 9:28Speaker 3: today with with callers. Wouldn't it be fun some days
- 9:31Speaker 3: we can take calls on this podcast. Would you be
- 9:33Speaker 3: interested in that? Or no?
- 9:34Speaker 2: Out?
- 9:34Speaker 3: Nope, no, no way, Okay that's my other life. Nope.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Well listen the way you rivet to that sidebar of
- 9:41Speaker 2: YouTube comments. We never get anything done. I know, I know,
- 9:44Speaker 2: But I love callers. I love hearing voices.
- 9:46Speaker 3: Anyways are my life, I know, but this is different,
- 9:48Speaker 3: This is a different thing. Yeah, it's a different world. Yeah, yeah,
- 9:51Speaker 3: you're that's fair enough. We can do guests though, right,
- 9:54Speaker 3: we're gonna do guess.
- 9:55Speaker 2: You're asking being of course whatever you want?
- 9:57Speaker 3: Well, no, well I might want calls done like I
- 10:00Speaker 3: have a saying that's excuse me for a living. But anyway,
- 10:06Speaker 3: I went through this exercise with callers from Minnesota. I said,
- 10:09Speaker 3: tell me what are you for, Tim Walls, in other words,
- 10:13Speaker 3: make the case. And the best they could do was, well,
- 10:16Speaker 3: the guy I can't even say this without cracking up,
- 10:19Speaker 3: but it's such a horrible story. The guy had never
- 10:22Speaker 3: been to Laos before. That was one big argument. And
- 10:25Speaker 3: you heard Tim will say that we shouldn't deport him
- 10:28Speaker 3: basically to a place he's never been. Oh, I'm sorry.
- 10:32Speaker 3: If the child rapist is in unfamiliar surroundings, he'll get acclimated.
- 10:37Speaker 3: Don't worry, he'll figure out how to fit in in Laos.
- 10:40Speaker 3: So that was argument number one, and then the other
- 10:42Speaker 3: two arguments was what you were what you just said
- 10:44Speaker 3: that it was twenty years ago, big deal. There's no
- 10:47Speaker 3: statute of limitations on raping and child and number three
- 10:51Speaker 3: what was the third one? Oh that he's expressed some
- 10:53Speaker 3: remart attrition, so what so what child? Rapist? Good lord?
- 11:00Speaker 3: I didn't get the wood shipper out, Oh my gosh.
- 11:06Speaker 3: And I just think there's there's a reason for their
- 11:09Speaker 3: Somebody texted me and said, why are the Democrats so
- 11:14Speaker 3: committed on behalf of these illegal immigrants? Because we had
- 11:16Speaker 3: the same with another shooting of a of a somebody
- 11:19Speaker 3: in Biddeford, Maine, a guy from Colombia. And this guy,
- 11:23Speaker 3: according to an eyewitness, tried to run over law enforcement
- 11:26Speaker 3: with his car. Boom, they shoot him. Hate newsflash, if
- 11:31Speaker 3: you try to run over a cop with a car,
- 11:33Speaker 3: you're probably gonna get shot. What other what what is it?
- 11:37Speaker 2: I keep going back to Rachel good right, and and
- 11:41Speaker 2: and everybody was freeze framing good, thank you? Sorry. That
- 11:45Speaker 2: was a freeze framing it like the Zapruder film. Yep,
- 11:48Speaker 2: where were the wheels turned? And that was a dicey one.
- 11:51Speaker 2: It was it was stupid for her to be there.
- 11:53Speaker 2: If she hadn't been there, she'd been alive, et cetera,
- 11:55Speaker 2: et cetera. The girlfriend or was probably not helpful to
- 11:58Speaker 2: de escalating the situation. Either have we seen video of
- 12:01Speaker 2: this one in Maine? I don't know, Or are we
- 12:04Speaker 2: going to go through that again?
- 12:05Speaker 3: Oh, of course we are. They're already going through it online.
- 12:07Speaker 3: Now there are bullet holes in the windshield, the front windshield. Now,
- 12:11Speaker 3: riddle me this, batman. If you're federal law enforcement and
- 12:15Speaker 3: you're trying to get the guy to stop, you're not
- 12:18Speaker 3: gonna how would there be bullet holes in the front window?
- 12:21Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, there are, lordy, there's a tape.
- 12:25Speaker 3: Here's an interview of an eyewitness, a young man by
- 12:29Speaker 3: the name of Jerry Callahan. He's not exactly front and
- 12:32Speaker 3: center on the evening news on ABC or NBC or CBS,
- 12:36Speaker 3: but he's on X and here's what he said he saw.
- 12:40Speaker 4: I would say seven fifteen. I was driving through the
- 12:43Speaker 4: intersection at Hill Street and pool Pool Street, and as
- 12:47Speaker 4: I was approaching, you could see flashing blue lights and
- 12:50Speaker 4: then as I got closer, they were unmarked, so I
- 12:52Speaker 4: assume they were ICE. And then you could see them
- 12:54Speaker 4: with their green vests and stuff, and it said please ice.
- 12:59Speaker 4: And so as I actually was going through the intersection,
- 13:05Speaker 4: I heard yelling, So I know I'm supposed to be
- 13:08Speaker 4: paying attention. But I heard yelling off to my so
- 13:10Speaker 4: I looked, and I was watching, and the the Ice
- 13:15Speaker 4: agent was yelling and drew his weapon, and he kept
- 13:18Speaker 4: yelling and yelling and warning the person driving, which is
- 13:21Speaker 4: when the car was put in the drive and was
- 13:24Speaker 4: trying to hit the Ice officer, and he fired I
- 13:27Speaker 4: would say, probably four shaws at him. And then by
- 13:32Speaker 4: that time I was also through, you know, the intersection,
- 13:35Speaker 4: so I just heard the popping, but I did see
- 13:36Speaker 4: him draw his gun at the windshield and then they
- 13:43Speaker 4: so then that the car You could see the car
- 13:45Speaker 4: and the like rolling down the street afterwards.
- 13:49Speaker 3: Well, funny, I haven't seen him on CNN.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Why has he What? What might what from that story?
- 13:56Speaker 2: What part of his narrative might make him less than
- 13:59Speaker 2: acceptable in the dominant mainstream media culture. Let me see,
- 14:06Speaker 2: it'll come to you.
- 14:08Speaker 3: It'll come to you.
- 14:11Speaker 2: That he's unwilling to tell the story that the mainstream
- 14:15Speaker 2: media wants told of another evil Ice officer murdering a
- 14:20Speaker 2: thoroughly innocent migration.
- 14:21Speaker 3: And not just the media, here's the mayor of New York. Now,
- 14:24Speaker 3: what the hell he's got to do with Biddeford Maine
- 14:26Speaker 3: is anyone's guests. But Zoe Roun mom Donnie, who incidentally
- 14:30Speaker 3: has got a lot of explaining to do about the
- 14:33Speaker 3: billions of dollars of revenue they are losing in New
- 14:38Speaker 3: York while meanwhile here in Florida they're cashing it in
- 14:42Speaker 3: like a casino in Las Vegas. There was a report
- 14:46Speaker 3: released that thanks to Zoe ron Mom Donnie and the
- 14:49Speaker 3: anti rich policies, the anti millionaire policies, there's been a
- 14:53Speaker 3: mass exodus of millionaires from New York, costing New York
- 14:57Speaker 3: over ten billion dollars in revenue. But in Florida they're
- 15:01Speaker 3: seeing a surplus of over twenty billion dollars in revenue
- 15:05Speaker 3: from people moving into the state. Like me. I mean,
- 15:09Speaker 3: I was chased out because of taxes. That was the
- 15:11Speaker 3: reason I left. It was fifty one percent city, state, federal.
- 15:14Speaker 3: I'm done so anyway, this Zo Ron mom Donni who's
- 15:17Speaker 3: doing his best to wreck one of America's once great cities.
- 15:22Speaker 3: He posted on social media this morning in Biddeford, Maine,
- 15:27Speaker 3: twenty six year old man said goodbye to his wife
- 15:30Speaker 3: and daughter. First of all, he had no idea if
- 15:33Speaker 3: he did or didn't say goodbye, you idiot, shut up,
- 15:35Speaker 3: said goodbye to his wife and daughter, and left for work.
- 15:39Speaker 3: Moments later, he was dead, shot in the head by
- 15:43Speaker 3: ICE agents. The second man Ice has killed in six days.
- 15:46Speaker 3: Ice is killing our neighbors. Ice cannot be reformed. Abolish Ice.
- 15:50Speaker 3: Now that's from the mayor of New York City, and
- 15:53Speaker 3: all over the country, millions of SICKO fans will say, oh, yep, yeah,
- 15:57Speaker 3: it's a good point. Ice just went up and randomly
- 15:59Speaker 3: shot the guy in the ahead.
- 16:00Speaker 2: And because that will happen, because what you've just described
- 16:03Speaker 2: will be the reaction among enough people. It takes me
- 16:07Speaker 2: back to that constant question that you and I sort
- 16:10Speaker 2: of rhetorically and sometimes literally ask, and that is will
- 16:14Speaker 2: we benefit? Will Republicans benefit? On November three? We'd like
- 16:18Speaker 2: to benefit from the goodness of our ideas, the worthiness
- 16:21Speaker 2: of our candidates, But will we benefit from how batpoop
- 16:26Speaker 2: crazy the other side is? And the short answer is
- 16:28Speaker 2: yes to a degree. But I don't know how much
- 16:31Speaker 2: I think you and I need to make sure we
- 16:33Speaker 2: don't underestimate the shocking and depressing number of people who
- 16:37Speaker 2: are fine with them, fine with the DSA, fine with
- 16:41Speaker 2: the squad, fine with the radicals. Fine, it's popular, it's working,
- 16:47Speaker 2: it's resonating, and we and you know, and I don't
- 16:50Speaker 2: know how I think it'll hurt us. It'll it'll lose
- 16:53Speaker 2: them some in independent voters, traditional Democrats who remember the
- 16:58Speaker 2: era of JFK. But and this is the flavor of
- 17:01Speaker 2: the month with these people. Man, this kind of radicalism
- 17:03Speaker 2: and this kind of lenacy, it's working.
- 17:05Speaker 3: And it's impacting your state like Texas. I mean James Tallerico,
- 17:09Speaker 3: the Democrat from Austin, the US Senate nominee, it was
- 17:12Speaker 3: just reported by the Texas Tribune, raised a staggering thirty
- 17:18Speaker 3: million dollars from April through June. That's more than triple
- 17:22Speaker 3: the amount brought in by his Republican opponent, Attorney General
- 17:26Speaker 3: Ken Paxton. It's popular, this guy, this guy, And I'm
- 17:29Speaker 3: telling you, I know there's probably no way he can win,
- 17:33Speaker 3: but I don't know. Never say never.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Well, I'm not gonna say I'm not. I'm not. He's
- 17:38Speaker 2: not going to win money and dollars, don't vote. This
- 17:43Speaker 2: does remain a red state. These phenomena that you describe
- 17:48Speaker 2: will result in this being a three, four, five six
- 17:51Speaker 2: point win instead of twelve. But there's just no way
- 17:56Speaker 2: Texans are going to vote for somebody who believes there
- 17:58Speaker 2: are forty seven genders. This says God is non binary,
- 18:01Speaker 2: this says Jesus is okay with abortion. No, no, Well
- 18:05Speaker 2: we're going to see.
- 18:06Speaker 3: I mean, look, millions of dollars translate to effective campaign ads,
- 18:11Speaker 3: and people who aren't plugged in like we are and
- 18:14Speaker 3: like this audience is, they might be saying, oh, this
- 18:17Speaker 3: Telarrico is not such a bad but there is there
- 18:20Speaker 3: is a way to connect the dots, and back to
- 18:22Speaker 3: the question of why people are so anti ice and
- 18:25Speaker 3: so it has to do with the effort to have
- 18:28Speaker 3: the mass deportation effort in the first places, of course,
- 18:31Speaker 3: and why are they so opposed to the mass deportation effort? Well,
- 18:35Speaker 3: once in a while they explain it. Senator Elisa Slotkin,
- 18:39Speaker 3: the Democrat from Michigan, was caught on stage recently saying
- 18:45Speaker 3: the following.
- 18:46Speaker 2: The other thing that we.
- 18:47Speaker 5: Balked yesterday was the same act, right.
- 18:49Speaker 6: Which.
- 18:58Speaker 5: About this to rig of our democracy so that it
- 19:02Speaker 5: would be hard for any Democrat in any state to
- 19:04Speaker 5: win any election. I disenfranchise all married women in the meantime,
- 19:09Speaker 5: By the way, and you have to show your birth
- 19:11Speaker 5: certificate at the polls if you have a married name.
- 19:15Speaker 3: Make it hard for any Democrat to win another election.
- 19:19Speaker 3: And that's the point Chuck Schumer is saying, ten to
- 19:22Speaker 3: twenty people will be taken off the voter rolls. That's
- 19:25Speaker 3: the point. They don't want to lose illegals. They don't
- 19:28Speaker 3: want to lose people who shouldn't be there in the
- 19:29Speaker 3: first place to vote, because they cheat, Mark, they cheat.
- 19:34Speaker 3: That's the only way they can win with these goofy ideas.
- 19:37Speaker 2: And that's what leads them to oppose things that eighty
- 19:40Speaker 2: percent of Americans want. And so it's there's so many
- 19:44Speaker 2: moving it's July in a way, November third is a
- 19:48Speaker 2: long long way away. And in another way, it's tomorrow
- 19:51Speaker 2: is going to go. I think it's going to go
- 19:53Speaker 2: so fast, and thinking things going fast or going slow.
- 19:56Speaker 2: Having talked about tall Rico, who am now face Paxton
- 19:59Speaker 2: with my Texas All audience this morning, I did a
- 20:01Speaker 2: little compare and contrast between Texas and South Carolina. We
- 20:05Speaker 2: know Paxton and Cornyn faced off for the other candidates
- 20:09Speaker 2: on the third of March. They made us wait until
- 20:13Speaker 2: the twenty sixth of may to settle that. In the
- 20:16Speaker 2: one on one where Paxton won resoundingly South Carolina. Here's
- 20:21Speaker 2: the Graham vacancy. The filing period opens in a week,
- 20:25Speaker 2: closes in two weeks. The primary is August eleventh, a
- 20:28Speaker 2: runoff if necessary August twenty fifth. Boom boom, We're done.
- 20:33Speaker 2: That is the way that the Palmetto state knows how
- 20:36Speaker 2: to do this, and.
- 20:38Speaker 3: There's a difference between a state like Maine in a
- 20:43Speaker 3: state like South Carolina. Maine doesn't know how to do it.
- 20:46Speaker 3: I'm surprised that the Texas tedious process because it's, you know,
- 20:50Speaker 3: like you said, it's a red state. Because typically my
- 20:53Speaker 3: fallback is that's because that's the way red states are
- 20:56Speaker 3: run versus blue states. I guess Texas is different. Well weird.
- 21:00Speaker 2: I've asked a bunch of people about this and he answered,
- 21:02Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, maybe need to ask election analyst GROC
- 21:06Speaker 2: about it, and he'll be more straight with me than
- 21:08Speaker 2: some human beings have been. There's apparently some proviso in
- 21:11Speaker 2: this about making sure we have the time to tabulate
- 21:15Speaker 2: military ballots or overseas stuff, which instantly stops me down.
- 21:19Speaker 2: It's like, okay, whatever we got to do to, you know,
- 21:21Speaker 2: make sure the troops voices are heard. Well, there's no
- 21:23Speaker 2: military concern in South Carolina. Somehow, I think, somehow, I
- 21:28Speaker 2: think they're going to get this done. It was crazy
- 21:30Speaker 2: that I think we had we had to wait that long.
- 21:33Speaker 2: And in the meantime, there's Darlene, who I just love,
- 21:37Speaker 2: I expect to love every day of her brief service,
- 21:40Speaker 2: which we now in the end of the term. What
- 21:42Speaker 2: do you make of the ghules and the and the
- 21:48Speaker 2: ne'er do wells and malcontents who it hasn't really been
- 21:51Speaker 2: bagging on her particularly, but there's Oh, they're outraged that
- 21:56Speaker 2: a democracy is not well served by having this be
- 21:59Speaker 2: patronage or something you hand over like a family heirloom.
- 22:02Speaker 2: Can everybody just stop, This is a wonderful thing.
- 22:06Speaker 3: Wait wait until she she has to cast a vote
- 22:09Speaker 3: as Lindsay would have cast, and then they will go
- 22:11Speaker 3: after her. Oh, they'll go after her plenty. She was
- 22:15Speaker 3: so eloquent yesterday and I kept thinking about her strength
- 22:18Speaker 3: and you know, one more time. I know by now
- 22:20Speaker 3: everybody knows the story, But Lindsay adopted had to adopt
- 22:23Speaker 3: her at age thirteen because their parents died within seven
- 22:26Speaker 3: months of each other. He raised her, he went off
- 22:29Speaker 3: to the military. I mean, his life of service is unquestioned,
- 22:33Speaker 3: and she was raised by him. She called him in
- 22:38Speaker 3: an interview once he was the mother, the father, and
- 22:41Speaker 3: the and the brother all wrapped into one. Taught me
- 22:45Speaker 3: how to drive, taught me how to you know, this
- 22:47Speaker 3: was this was Lindsey Graham to Darlene, and so you
- 22:51Speaker 3: know she had to be just shattered over this unexpected
- 22:56Speaker 3: death of her, of her older brother. Here was here
- 22:58Speaker 3: she was yesterday at the podium, surrounded by Lindsay Graham's staff,
- 23:02Speaker 3: who will now be her staff for five months, and
- 23:06Speaker 3: the governor of South Carolina, Governor Henry McMaster.
- 23:10Speaker 8: Next, I want to thank the governor for selecting me
- 23:13Speaker 8: to serve the remainder of Lindsay's term and is such
- 23:16Speaker 8: an honor. Lindsay has always been there for me, and
- 23:21Speaker 8: now I will be there for him. My brother was
- 23:25Speaker 8: the most amazing person, outstanding leader, and just a genuinely
- 23:32Speaker 8: good man. He was kind and considerate and loved by
- 23:37Speaker 8: his family dearly. As I think everyone would agree, Lindsay
- 23:44Speaker 8: worked harder than anyone. He worked NonStop to make our state, country,
- 23:50Speaker 8: and world better. He loved his family and loved serving
- 23:55Speaker 8: this state and our country. He dedicated his life to
- 24:00Speaker 8: our country. It is such a privilege to get to
- 24:05Speaker 8: finish some of his important work. And I promise to
- 24:09Speaker 8: work hard over the next several months to support the
- 24:12Speaker 8: president and carry forward the efforts of my brother on
- 24:16Speaker 8: behalf of the citizens of South Carolina and the United States.
- 24:21Speaker 8: I know Lindsay thought the world of his staff and colleagues,
- 24:25Speaker 8: and with their support, I feel confident. I think this
- 24:29Speaker 8: is what Lindsay would have wanted, and I plan to
- 24:32Speaker 8: honor him in this way. Now, to Lindsey, I miss
- 24:39Speaker 8: you more than I can even put into words. But
- 24:43Speaker 8: I'm going to do this. I got it. Thank you.
- 24:49Speaker 3: And you know Mark's and you know how many years
- 24:53Speaker 3: I spent in South Carolina's where I met and married
- 24:55Speaker 3: my wife, is where we raised our kids. I go
- 24:57Speaker 3: there all the time. That's such a South Carolina thing.
- 25:00Speaker 3: Say I got that, I got got it. I got it.
- 25:04Speaker 2: And Lindsey's staff that has served him and the people
- 25:06Speaker 2: of South Carolina for so well, for so long, so well.
- 25:10Speaker 2: This just makes the whole transition a little bit easier.
- 25:13Speaker 2: It's going to be just fine. There was I listed
- 25:16Speaker 2: I did something that all Americans should do. I listened
- 25:18Speaker 2: to a little bit of you on the radio today
- 25:20Speaker 2: as I was just going about my business and I
- 25:23Speaker 2: heard you play. And this is my way of asking
- 25:26Speaker 2: the folks to gather it up. I think I texted
- 25:27Speaker 2: you about this the Elena Kagan cut. Yes, I got
- 25:32Speaker 2: access to that.
- 25:33Speaker 3: Well. I can't wait, because that's going to lead to
- 25:34Speaker 3: a whole bigger discussion than I want to have with you,
- 25:36Speaker 3: because when I was talking about this on the radio
- 25:39Speaker 3: earlier today and on Salem News Channel, I was thinking
- 25:41Speaker 3: of you and wondering if we can get to a
- 25:44Speaker 3: place again of bipartisanship, of unity, of any kind of
- 25:48Speaker 3: semblance of civility. Before we transition into that really really
- 25:52Speaker 3: powerful message from Elena Kagan, a liberal justice on the
- 25:56Speaker 3: Supreme Court, let me remind everybody people are noticing my
- 26:00Speaker 3: weight loss. People have said watching this podcast, oh Gallagher,
- 26:03Speaker 3: you're losing a little bit. YEP. I lost ten and
- 26:05Speaker 3: a half the first week on PhD weight loss. When
- 26:07Speaker 3: I went back to it four pounds the second week.
- 26:09Speaker 3: I'm almost back to where I need to be because
- 26:11Speaker 3: I got lazy and stupid and I went off it
- 26:13Speaker 3: for a while and needed to take the weight off.
- 26:15Speaker 3: But now thanks to PhD Weight Loss, one of our
- 26:18Speaker 3: great sponsors, I know what to do. PhD Weight Loss

- 27:22Speaker 3: dot com. Market's not often I get a text from
- 27:25Speaker 3: you mid show, but when you heard the Elena Kagan clip,
- 27:29Speaker 3: you texted me and you just loved it. Tell us.
- 27:31Speaker 2: I said, let's play it, and so the setup goes
- 27:33Speaker 2: like this. The everybody's favorite uh Lindsey clip from the
- 27:38Speaker 2: last few days is when he just went off on
- 27:41Speaker 2: Democrats trying to destroy Brett Kevinough. I said, listen, the
- 27:44Speaker 2: next time you talk to Kagan and sodamayor you tell him,
- 27:47Speaker 2: Lindsay says hello, because I've voted for them. That was
- 27:50Speaker 2: Lindsay adhering to what I think is probably the way
- 27:54Speaker 2: it ought to be, and that is that a sitting
- 27:57Speaker 2: president gets his Supreme Court nominees. We're never going to
- 28:01Speaker 2: I don't think we're ever going to be able to
- 28:03Speaker 2: flat out stop a Democrat president from getting his nominees,
- 28:07Speaker 2: nor should they try to stop a sitting president should
- 28:10Speaker 2: get his orhear Supreme Court nominee. And if you don't
- 28:13Speaker 2: like that, elect a better president. Uh, that's generally been
- 28:17Speaker 2: my thought. So he did indeed do that. I think
- 28:21Speaker 2: there's a difference between that and the other maybe another
- 28:24Speaker 2: podcast episode or later today. The notion of reaching across
- 28:27Speaker 2: the aisle for policy stuff I'm not as fond of
- 28:30Speaker 2: at all, But on the Supreme Court thing, I thought
- 28:33Speaker 2: that was sort of the way it should be. And today,
- 28:35Speaker 2: as I think both Elaina Kagan and Amy Cony Barrett
- 28:38Speaker 2: were there so essentially lobby Congress for more security money
- 28:42Speaker 2: because they're scared of people killing them. Do I pretty
- 28:44Speaker 2: well have that right?
- 28:45Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Supreme Court justices, you know, a little figurative, if not literal,
- 28:51Speaker 2: targets on their backs. We should absolutely correct them during
- 28:55Speaker 2: these protect them during these crazy times. And as it
- 28:59Speaker 2: turns out, Elena Kagan, in the years since Jesus send
- 29:03Speaker 2: it to the Court, remembered those votes that that vote
- 29:06Speaker 2: that Lindsey Graham cast for her, remembered it fondly, and
- 29:10Speaker 2: it kind of spoke to a time and she, to
- 29:12Speaker 2: her credit, I'll shut up about you play it or
- 29:14Speaker 2: intro it in whatever way you wish, took note to
- 29:17Speaker 2: the fact that where we are right now. You don't
- 29:20Speaker 2: get a lot of Republicans voting for Democrat nominees or
- 29:23Speaker 2: vice versa.
- 29:24Speaker 3: No question, And before I play it, I do want
- 29:26Speaker 3: to add a little cynicism to this conversation. I have
- 29:29Speaker 3: to say, frankly, I don't know how many death threats
- 29:33Speaker 3: the liberal justices of the Supreme Court are getting. I
- 29:36Speaker 3: believe the death threats are being directed toward the conservatives.
- 29:40Speaker 3: It was Brett Kavanaugh who had an assassination attempt foiled
- 29:45Speaker 3: that he were he was the target.
- 29:47Speaker 2: It's Emmy Cony Barrett got swatted at her house.
- 29:51Speaker 3: Do you do are you hearing a lot of stories
- 29:53Speaker 3: of Elena Kagan or so do my Ora or Kaitanji.
- 29:56Speaker 2: Brown Jackson Jackson getting horrible Conservatives doing terrible thing to them.
- 30:00Speaker 3: Funny, I do not. In fact, let's go back in
- 30:03Speaker 3: memory serves. I don't remember any credible threats against Barack
- 30:06Speaker 3: Obama and he was in office for eight years. But
- 30:09Speaker 3: meanwhile they fired at least three times on Donald Trump.
- 30:12Speaker 3: It's funny how that works. They're the party of violence.
- 30:15Speaker 3: And that's and again I'm sorry for my cynicism, but
- 30:18Speaker 3: that's how I feel, well correct, It's reality. It's absolute reality.
- 30:24Speaker 3: But my also reality is I kind of loved what
- 30:27Speaker 3: Elena Kagan said today. Now when Lindsay Graham voted for
- 30:30Speaker 3: her mark and when he voted for Shdomayoor, I was
- 30:33Speaker 3: furious with him, weren't you. I mean, I couldn't believe it.
- 30:36Speaker 2: I wasn't because I kind of had that old school
- 30:39Speaker 2: thing in my head of a sitting president gets his
- 30:41Speaker 2: Supreme Court nominations. I kind of said, you know what,
- 30:45Speaker 2: it's funny because it's such a groupable thing, because let's stipulate,
- 30:49Speaker 2: there's a lot of love for Lindsay in the room.
- 30:51Speaker 2: But the things Lindsay did that drove me insane were
- 30:54Speaker 2: when he reached across the isles of Democrats on matters
- 30:57Speaker 2: of policy. I don't send Republicans to Washington to work
- 31:00Speaker 2: with Democrats. I send Republicans to Washington to beat Democrats,
- 31:05Speaker 2: to defeat their horrible ideas. So one of these things
- 31:08Speaker 2: is not quite like the other.
- 31:09Speaker 3: But continued, well, you're just a rhino establishment, that's what
- 31:12Speaker 3: you are. You're just you're the deep state. You're the
- 31:15Speaker 3: deep state. You're the deep state. By the way, by
- 31:17Speaker 3: the way, again, I digress here from playing this beautiful
- 31:20Speaker 3: clip in a moment, but I drove into work. There's
- 31:23Speaker 3: a local host somewhere in America. I'm not going to
- 31:25Speaker 3: mention anybody's name, not going to mention any Marcus, but
- 31:29Speaker 3: was going on and on about how are you ready
- 31:32Speaker 3: for it? The deep State assassinated Lindsey Graham. Then he
- 31:38Speaker 3: was he was on the verge of getting the Save
- 31:40Speaker 3: America Act passed and that had to be stopped, and
- 31:44Speaker 3: so the deep state took him out. And this is
- 31:47Speaker 3: like a credible kind of a And yet.
- 31:51Speaker 2: Mike Lee is still alive, who tweets about it ten
- 31:53Speaker 2: times a day.
- 31:54Speaker 3: So please go figure go well, maybebe Mike Lee. You
- 31:57Speaker 3: better be careful look over his shoulder security All right,
- 32:01Speaker 3: here she is Justice Elena Kagan now and again just
- 32:04Speaker 3: real quick reminder that fiery passionate Brett Kavanaugh defense that
- 32:09Speaker 3: Lindsay said. One of the things he said was he
- 32:11Speaker 3: pointed to Kavanaugh. He said, you tell Kagan, and so
- 32:15Speaker 3: to my oar, I said, hi, because I've voted for them,
- 32:18Speaker 3: I would never treat you the way they've treated you,
- 32:22Speaker 3: or treat them the way you've they've treated you. In
- 32:24Speaker 3: other words, he's saying, we weren't going to go after
- 32:27Speaker 3: liberal justices the way they went after Brett Kavanaugh, because
- 32:31Speaker 3: he's so Keep that in mind and listen to today's
- 32:34Speaker 3: testimony by Justice Elena Kagan about the lone Republican who
- 32:40Speaker 3: voted for her, Senator Lindsey.
- 32:42Speaker 6: Graham condolences to his sister. The rest of his family
- 32:47Speaker 6: is many friends and colleagues here in the House, in
- 32:50Speaker 6: the Senate, and elsewhere on behalf of the entire court.
- 32:54Speaker 6: But I'd also like to make a few more personal comments.
- 32:59Speaker 6: You know, it's not very often. Well, I'll just say
- 33:02Speaker 6: that I didn't get many Republican votes when I was
- 33:05Speaker 6: confirmed to the Supreme Court, and that's the usual state
- 33:10Speaker 6: of things today. Not many Republicans vote for the nominees
- 33:14Speaker 6: of somebody selected by a Democratic president, and not many
- 33:18Speaker 6: Democrats do the same for someone selected by a Republican president.
- 33:23Speaker 6: And one would not expect such a cross party if
- 33:28Speaker 6: you will vote, certainly from somebody from a deep red
- 33:31Speaker 6: or deep blue state. And yet Senator Graham voted for me,
- 33:36Speaker 6: And I vividly remember, because he was a vivid person,
- 33:40Speaker 6: the conversation that we had in his office prior to
- 33:44Speaker 6: my hearing, where he got to know me. It was
- 33:47Speaker 6: a long conversation. He took the opportunity to get to
- 33:49Speaker 6: know me. He questioned me with great seriousness and great
- 33:53Speaker 6: knowledge about my record as Solicitor General, including particularly the
- 33:58Speaker 6: various terrorism issues that that office had dealt with over
- 34:02Speaker 6: the time I was Solicitor General. And I still more
- 34:05Speaker 6: vividly remember the conversations that we had at my hearing itself.
- 34:11Speaker 6: In the last day or so, many people have talked
- 34:14Speaker 6: about how funny Senator Graham was. I think Al Franken
- 34:18Speaker 6: said he was the funniest man in the Senate. But
- 34:21Speaker 6: what I remember about that hearing was that somehow Senator
- 34:24Speaker 6: Graham made me look funny, which is a harder thing,
- 34:28Speaker 6: entirely by asking me what I had done on Christmas
- 34:33Speaker 6: the following year. I'll skip the back and forth, but
- 34:37Speaker 6: many people said to me afterwards that exchange with Senator
- 34:41Speaker 6: Graham was the moment my confirmation was sealed. So I
- 34:47Speaker 6: want to express my gratitude towards him, not only for
- 34:50Speaker 6: his support, but for approaching the confirmation process with the
- 34:55Speaker 6: kind of seriousness that he did and the kind of
- 35:00Speaker 6: respect he did. And I never got to know Senator
- 35:04Speaker 6: Graham very well, but I can see why so many
- 35:06Speaker 6: people will deeply miss him, and I just wanted to
- 35:09Speaker 6: convey that on behalf of me and again express the
- 35:11Speaker 6: condolences of the entire court, and of course.
- 35:15Speaker 3: For the benefit of people who don't know it.
- 35:17Speaker 2: The joke there is that she's Jewish, but here, in
- 35:20Speaker 2: fact not to Here's how it went. So everybody's on
- 35:26Speaker 2: trying to be best. I mean, all the senators are
- 35:29Speaker 2: keyed up trying to do what they're trying to do.
- 35:31Speaker 2: The nominees are justices or are jurists of consequence who
- 35:37Speaker 2: have been through a lot of things, but they've got
- 35:39Speaker 2: to be nervous to a certain degree, especially when being
- 35:43Speaker 2: questioned by the by the opposite party. So Lindsey Graham
- 35:47Speaker 2: asks Elena Kagan, uh, miss Kagan, you know where were
- 35:51Speaker 2: you last Christmas? And she pauses, like what I think
- 35:55Speaker 2: if it has to be thinking, what's this about? Just
- 35:57Speaker 2: where were you? Where were you at Christmas? And she wondered,
- 36:00Speaker 2: she didn't know if it was a gotcha or whatever.
- 36:03Speaker 2: She tried to sort of distance say well based on
- 36:08Speaker 2: something I can't said, No, I'm just I'm just literally,
- 36:11Speaker 2: I'm not projecting anything, just literally where were you at Christmas?
- 36:15Speaker 2: And she said, well, like most good Jews, I was
- 36:18Speaker 2: at a Chinese restaurant and it was just Chinese restaurants
- 36:22Speaker 2: are open at Christmas. But it was it was it
- 36:26Speaker 2: was disarming, it was really cool. It was a really
- 36:28Speaker 2: nice moment. And that was speaking of really nice moments,
- 36:32Speaker 2: that sure was one. And I think that that people
- 36:35Speaker 2: who are real jerks and real monsters online, they get clicks,
- 36:39Speaker 2: they get attention. I think that makes them seem disproportionately
- 36:44Speaker 2: out there. I don't think there are It's not as
- 36:47Speaker 2: big a thing as I hope it's not. And I
- 36:50Speaker 2: think there's more decency than indecency in moments like this,
- 36:53Speaker 2: And there have been some really nice uh so, some
- 36:56Speaker 2: nice moments of civility and grace in these couple of days.
- 37:00Speaker 3: Thinking of decency and indecency. You know how much I
- 37:03Speaker 3: love looking at the chat room community when we're live
- 37:06Speaker 3: on YouTube like we are right now. A troll had
- 37:09Speaker 3: entered the room and was attacking you and attacking me
- 37:14Speaker 3: and saying you were spouting your normal Well, I blocked them.
- 37:18Speaker 3: I blocked them. I blocked them, Bye bye, be gone.
- 37:22Speaker 2: So okay, YouTube credentials to her, I didn't.
- 37:25Speaker 3: I didn't think I did, but I did. I wound.
- 37:28Speaker 3: I didn't. I thought I was like a viewer of
- 37:30Speaker 3: the law of the chat because I see Mad Mike
- 37:32Speaker 3: every day, and I see Denny Kenny, and I see
- 37:35Speaker 3: a gmc palette. But but this, the troll came in,
- 37:39Speaker 3: and I thought, let me try it, and so I
- 37:41Speaker 3: clicked on it, and I on my phone, I watch
- 37:43Speaker 3: on my iPhone, and yes, I was able to block
- 37:47Speaker 3: the obnoxious person who was hating on you and me.
- 37:49Speaker 3: And it feels it feels good. I love blocking people.
- 37:53Speaker 2: Can I okay?
- 37:55Speaker 3: And I have a fundamental disagreement about this.
- 37:58Speaker 2: I know it. Maybe if somebody's just well, here's here's
- 38:03Speaker 2: a callback to an earlier episode of eminem Extra. If
- 38:07Speaker 2: somebody's just being an asshole, lose them. But if it's
- 38:10Speaker 2: just a discordant view or somebody differing with something or that,
- 38:14Speaker 2: then can we leave those people alone? Because that's well,
- 38:16Speaker 2: you run your show and iron mind.
- 38:18Speaker 3: Because you're well, Dick, Well, the problem is define who's
- 38:23Speaker 3: being an asshole. You may not think they're an asshole.
- 38:25Speaker 3: I think somebody's saying there's Mark spouting his usual stupid conservatives.
- 38:31Speaker 2: That is assholeary And that's what.
- 38:33Speaker 3: That person said, and I blocked him. And then they
- 38:35Speaker 3: were And by the way, their point was, I love
- 38:37Speaker 3: this one trying to defend Tim Waltz, and this asshole
- 38:40Speaker 3: did try to defend Tim Walls. I left out the
- 38:44Speaker 3: part my Gallagher left out the part that the victim
- 38:48Speaker 3: wrote a letter of support for her rapist. Oh like
- 38:53Speaker 3: that matters, Biggs, Who cares you, moron? So what give
- 38:59Speaker 3: me a break?
- 39:00Speaker 2: Anyway that he's been he's been blasted into the orbit
- 39:03Speaker 2: around Neptune.
- 39:04Speaker 3: He's been blocked, I do. It is funny, though he
- 39:08Speaker 3: is still free to watch us, however, Oh he will,
- 39:10Speaker 3: he will watch every minute. They can't. They can't, they
- 39:14Speaker 3: can't get enough of us. But let me let me
- 39:17Speaker 3: play another clip though, real quick, of somebody before we
- 39:19Speaker 3: get out of here today, and about Megan McCain, because
- 39:23Speaker 3: this is really powerful stuff. So no questions, no secret,
- 39:27Speaker 3: Rather that that John McCain and Lindsey Graham were joined
- 39:31Speaker 3: at the hip. You know, it was like frickin' frack.
- 39:33Speaker 3: They were, you know, together two.
- 39:35Speaker 2: And Joe Lieberman were the three amigos. They were they
- 39:38Speaker 2: exactly were, and they're and they're together and I and
- 39:41Speaker 2: in Nevin and I love that.
- 39:42Speaker 3: Amen. And so Meghan, of course very active, and she
- 39:46Speaker 3: was on the view and she's politically minded and she
- 39:50Speaker 3: death definitely loved her her father and terrible loss for
- 39:54Speaker 3: her when John McCain died, well, she always thought of
- 39:59Speaker 3: Lindsey Graham as a member of the family uncle if
- 40:02Speaker 3: I should call him uncle Lindsey, until about three years ago.
- 40:07Speaker 3: And then I wonder what happened three years ago, Oh,
- 40:11Speaker 3: wonder what happened where Megan McCain stopped talking to her
- 40:15Speaker 3: beloved uncle Lindsey. Well, now that he has unexpectedly died,
- 40:21Speaker 3: she's feeling remorse. Listen to what she said today Mark
- 40:26Speaker 3: on her podcast.
- 40:28Speaker 2: We had a complicated history. At the end of his life.
- 40:32Speaker 3: We hadn't spoken in about three years, which.
- 40:35Speaker 7: I regret, Paul ititics can complicate life, and it's stupid.
- 40:42Speaker 2: I loved him very much, My family loved him very much.
- 40:46Speaker 1: My mother is a wreck.
- 40:50Speaker 3: Now let me tell you something, Mark, you read between
- 40:53Speaker 3: the lines what happened three years ago Trump got reelected.
- 40:56Speaker 3: I can promise you she stopped talking to him because
- 40:59Speaker 3: of his support for President Trump. And now she regrets
- 41:04Speaker 3: it because she stopped talking to him, and she starts
- 41:07Speaker 3: by saying, we had a complicated relate. No we didn't.
- 41:10Speaker 3: It's not complicated. You're speaking of asshole. You know, you
- 41:14Speaker 3: stop talking to Lindsey Graham because he dared to support
- 41:18Speaker 3: your father's political nemesis, and now she's in regret. Isn't
- 41:23Speaker 3: that a powerful lesson? Can we learn how she is?
- 41:27Speaker 3: I hope these people will, but I doubt that they will.
- 41:29Speaker 3: I hope these people who have destroyed relationships because of
- 41:33Speaker 3: their political bigotry listen like she did, like she did,
- 41:36Speaker 3: admittedly precisely. Admittedly, my heart is very full and my
- 41:40Speaker 3: fuse very short here for emotions and stuff like this.
- 41:43Speaker 3: I'm I'm in a position right now today, and you know,
- 41:46Speaker 3: public and in private to be pretty easy to trigger
- 41:50Speaker 3: for certain emotional things because there's a lot going on.
- 41:53Speaker 3: I am completely unmoved by this handwringing crocodile tears act
- 41:58Speaker 3: from Megan McCain, who who I had a lot of
- 42:02Speaker 3: good things to say about her dad. I have a
- 42:03Speaker 3: lot of good things to say about her some not
- 42:05Speaker 3: so good. Oh, by the way, she blocked me on
- 42:07Speaker 3: Twitter about three years ago. Not that I care about that.
- 42:10Speaker 3: Who blocks me.
- 42:11Speaker 2: It's me. I don't do anything except say stuff. I
- 42:13Speaker 2: don't argue with people that much. I don't call people names.
- 42:15Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. I guess it was because I dared
- 42:18Speaker 2: to have something to say about establishment, Republicans, free country.
- 42:21Speaker 2: She can do whatever she wants. But what that was
- 42:24Speaker 2: right there? We had a complicated as you said, we
- 42:26Speaker 2: had a complicated relationship. No, you didn't, darling. You began
- 42:31Speaker 2: to hate Lindsey Graham because he dared to support Trump. You,
- 42:35Speaker 2: young lady, you were and are the problem. Don't be
- 42:39Speaker 2: like her. Don't don't be like her.
- 42:41Speaker 3: Don't cut off family, don't cut off friends, don't cut
- 42:46Speaker 3: off loved ones. Don't cut off people because they disagree
- 42:49Speaker 3: with you politically. I mean, have you had how many people?
- 42:53Speaker 3: Can you count? How many people in your life you've
- 42:56Speaker 3: lost it as far as relationships because of your politics?
- 43:00Speaker 2: Two or three most and they and they would all
- 43:02Speaker 2: sort of be friends who listen. It's kind of funny.
- 43:06Speaker 2: There may be people who I had occasional contact with
- 43:09Speaker 2: and I just haven't and I didn't care that much,
- 43:11Speaker 2: so I didn't notice. So it might be ten, But
- 43:13Speaker 2: there are probably two or three folks. I could name
- 43:15Speaker 2: who I really thought I was pretty close to. I
- 43:17Speaker 2: would speak to them often, met their kids, met their families,
- 43:21Speaker 2: hung out, and then my and they went. In some
- 43:25Speaker 2: cases a couple of them went kind of public with it. Well,
- 43:28Speaker 2: I knew this day would come. Had to unfriend or
- 43:30Speaker 2: had to do this to Mark Davis is.
- 43:32Speaker 3: Like, what?
- 43:32Speaker 4: Who?
- 43:33Speaker 2: What? And it was all because I dared to be
- 43:38Speaker 2: a Trump supporter.
- 43:39Speaker 3: Well, I think the Megan McCain tearful. I mean, I
- 43:43Speaker 3: have some maybe a little more grace over it than
- 43:46Speaker 3: you do. I feel bad for her. I mean she's
- 43:49Speaker 3: she's obviously saying I shouldn't have cut him out. I
- 43:52Speaker 3: shouldn't have stopped talking to him, because I guarantee I
- 43:55Speaker 3: knew Lindsay grown. He didn't stop talking to her. No, no,
- 43:58Speaker 3: he didn't. And I'm thinking, listen, there's grace. I don't
- 44:02Speaker 3: say gullibility. I'm sorry.
- 44:04Speaker 2: Did she say I regret being a monster to Lindsey Graham?
- 44:10Speaker 2: Did she say I regret becoming so ugly toward him?
- 44:17Speaker 2: Because she didn't say anything of the kind. She just
- 44:20Speaker 2: misses your uncle, Lindsey, sure now because he's dead. But
- 44:24Speaker 2: I didn't get any She just kind of maybe retroactively
- 44:28Speaker 2: wishes that they've been in closer touch. No, I got
- 44:31Speaker 2: no remorse, contrition, rethinking, not one bit, because these people
- 44:36Speaker 2: don't do that, Mike, they don't do that well.
- 44:39Speaker 3: Her tears, her tears, her emotions. Expect to me suggest remorse.
- 44:45Speaker 3: She said it's stupid. And she said, you know, politics
- 44:48Speaker 3: can screw up life. No, you screwed up life. You're
- 44:51Speaker 3: the worst. You did that.
- 44:53Speaker 2: But it considers Lindsey to be equally blameworthy, if not
- 44:57Speaker 2: more so. This is no sale, no saying no, Yeah,
- 45:02Speaker 2: I guess these people are largely they're largely incorrigible. She
- 45:06Speaker 2: she probably wishes Lindsay were not dead.
- 45:08Speaker 3: You know what she is waiting for? Here?
- 45:10Speaker 2: Here's this is another day, maybe because I know we
- 45:12Speaker 2: both got to go. There are people. Oh this Adam Kinziger,
- 45:15Speaker 2: What a weasel. This guy the other one I know
- 45:17Speaker 2: I've heard his thing was My suspicion or hope, was
- 45:21Speaker 2: that Lindsey Graham was waiting for the Trump era to
- 45:25Speaker 2: be done so that he could come back and be
- 45:28Speaker 2: the way he used to be and rediscover his soul
- 45:31Speaker 2: and rediscover, you know, being a genuinely good person. Screw
- 45:36Speaker 2: you and everybody who says these these made up things
- 45:40Speaker 2: that are meant to just prop up their own fantasy narratives.
- 45:44Speaker 2: These these people have a deep, deep illness. And I
- 45:47Speaker 2: didn't see her in recovery, not one bit.
- 45:49Speaker 1: Sorry.
- 45:50Speaker 3: And on that happy note, that's a wrap for a Tuesday.
- 45:53Speaker 3: We enjoyed love and peace and joy and happiness, and
- 45:57Speaker 3: uh let them have it all right, my friend, have
- 45:59Speaker 3: a happy Tuesday. Let's do it again tomorrow, shall we?
- 46:02Speaker 3: Shame time, Shame bad channel.
- 46:04Speaker 2: See everybody soon.
- 46:05Speaker 3: Take care,
