• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome to a meeting of the minds, crafted from decades
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: of talk show experience, an extension of the magic they've
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: created together on radio in the phenomenon called M & M.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Hot topics in the news and wisdom from life. It's
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Mark Davis and Mike Gallagher. This is M & M Extra.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is. On this Monday, the 28th day of September,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Mark Davis, Mike Gallagher, we are the M's, and it's
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: actually both of us. These pesky travel and vacation things.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: It's funny. We originally started thinking, let's try to arrange
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: and be gone at the same time. But I was
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: gone last week and you were here and did remarkable stuff.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: And listen, whether it's one of us or both of us,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: before any of us says anything more, we are brought
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: to you by Preborn. It's brought to you just so
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: much of what we do, brought to you in part
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: by Preborn. You can stand for life today by joining
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: us and providing ultrasounds to girls and women. You will
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: double the likelihood that she will choose life. Go to 833-850-BABY, 833-850-BABY,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: or go to preborn.com slash mmextra. You will learn more
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: about them later in today's episode. But the other M,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: the Mike Gallagher, with his freshly restored Mike Gallagher Twitter handle.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: He's back. He's ready. And boy, am I ready to
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: hook up with you here and sling some hot topics.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I'm very bitter. I'm very angry about your vacation because
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: you screw up my whole world when you go on vacation,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: and I'm here by myself, and I'm having a tap dance.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I don't understand why you can't. You understand on a podcast,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: you could just open up your laptop from vacation, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: we could do the podcast. Wouldn't be a vacation then,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: would it? This doesn't feel like a vacation. Is this
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: work to you? Is the Eminem extra work to you?
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm already hurt. Here's my feelings that are hurt.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: When I was solo, the live viewership on YouTube that
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at right now, it's half of what it
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: is when you're here. So it's all you.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it is.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: It is. So there goes my inferiority complex on steroids.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: My whole schedule is all screwed up. I mean, here
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I am schlepping out to Los Angeles, but I'm doing
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: everything from on the road. I can do it. If
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: I can bring a laptop with me to L.A., why
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: can't you bring a laptop with you to some she-she
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: vacation resort you and Lisa go to?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: We were in Santa Barbara, and we had a lovely time. And,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: in fact, looking ahead, because we've got four days of
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: hot news-breaking action, et cetera, et cetera. Friday, a theme show.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Mike and I are going to do California Friday. California
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Friday on such a winter's day. No mamas and the papas,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: but two guys talking about a state that conservatives... We
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: slap California around all the time. It deserves it in
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: terms of the way it is run and the horrible
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: politics that come out of there. But there are few
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: places in America that are as beautiful, as wondrous, as
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: vexing and frustrating. So California stories... On Friday.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: But you gave me a couple. Let me add to
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: that real quick. Because I was in Pasadena. And funny story,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: I stayed at a hotel near the venue at the Pasadena,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: it was called the Ambassador Auditorium. This hotel was such
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: a dump. It was horrible. And here I am trying
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: to be industrious and find a hotel near the property.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: So finally somebody says, why didn't you stay at the
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Langham Huntington Hotel? Yes. Well, I checked in to the
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Langham Huntington. Oh, my goodness. The Sound of Steel. Oh,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: it was upscale and it was a neat history to it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: It's been a hundred years old or whatever, but beautiful resort,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: beautiful hotel. And Pasadena, I would wake up in the morning,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: the mountains surrounding the city, the beauty, the landscape, the homes.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, the neighborhood where the Langham Huntington Hotel is,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: is in this beautiful neighborhood. I asked my driver, they
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: had a They had a lot of security for this event,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: and I'm glad because he had Nick Shirley. We had
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Steve Hilton, the gubernatorial candidate, Larry Elder, Larry O'Connor, Alex Marlow,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Jen Horn, and I, and a number of local and
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: regional politicians. So they had security out the wazoo. I
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: found out what the price tab was for that day.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I won't say it publicly, but I might text it
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: to you. one day worth of security, but it was
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: worth it. And so they didn't want to, and they
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: assigned all of us our individual security people. And they
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: were all like LAPD officers off duty. And they were
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: so great. And these guys, gosh, and they actually love
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: what we do. They know we're pro-law and order. They
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: know we're pro-police. And it was just beautiful. And so
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: we're driving through, the guy's driving me in his vehicle,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Back to the hotel for a little break. And I said,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: what do these houses go for? I said, are they
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: a million and a half, two? He goes, two. He goes,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: they're starting at five and above. Five million or more.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: And Mark, I'm going to tell you right now, the
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: $ 5 million house that he pointed to, you have a
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: beautiful home. It was your home. Now, I love you.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I don't think your house is five mil. You are correct, sir.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: But if you picked it up and planted it in Pasadena, California,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: you'd be spending $ 5 million for that property. It was
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: a beautiful, beautiful visit. And so you're right, Mark, to
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: your point. And I feel bad. I realized I was
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: standing on air, and I'm heard in L.A., just like
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: you and I. A lot of people in L.A. loved Eminem,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: and I got a lot of great feedback about Eminem
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: in L.A., incidentally, at this event. But I thought, here
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I am saying publicly how much I hate going to L.A.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: and how much I hate L.A. Maybe not a Norman
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Vincent Peale move on my part, huh? I mean, stupid
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: of me to say that. It's like saying, oh, hey, Dallas. Well,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: what are you doing here then?
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: But it is.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: It's a beating. I mean, the politics, the policies, all
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: the crap, the needles in San Francisco. I mean, one
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: of America's beautiful cities, too. Mark, the Democrats have destroyed
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: that place.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: And it's right in front of their faces and from
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: relative converts like Adam Carolla to– sort of libs like
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Bill Maher, these will be the people who will tell
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: you that they know that Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: and leaders like this make life miserable in California cities
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and for all Californians. And then people like them march
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: dutifully into their polling places and keep reelecting people with
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: these horrible ideas, election cycle after election cycle. Can Steve Hilton,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: for governor, can he beat Javier Becerra? Does anybody think
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: that's a chance or is that just a.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: On the record or off the record? What do you want? Well,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: let's see.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: This would seem to be on, but pretend it's off.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Okay. Off the record, everybody there said Steve is unbelievable.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: He would be great. He doesn't have any chance at all.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: That's what they say. That's what they say in person. Now,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know if that's true or not. I mean,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: they also said, look, that leads us to what I
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: can't wait to talk to you about today. It was
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: only the last week, almost while you were away, that
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: suddenly we get this tsunami of media coverage that it's
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: over for the Republicans, that all of a sudden everything's
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: going to change. There's going to be a blue wave.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: They're going to take the House. They're going to take
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the Senate. Up and down the ballot, Democrats are going
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: to win everywhere. Tallarico is guaranteed, they're telling us. Annie
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Andrews in South Carolina is guaranteed, they're telling us. And
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: it's only been in the last week or so. Nothing
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: has changed. Gas prices haven't changed. I mean, they've gone
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: up a little bit, but they haven't really changed. And
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: so we had some fun. You and I talked a
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: little bit about this earlier today. Look at the polling history.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Look at the famous Des Moines Register and Seltzer poll.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Remember that? Kamala's going to take Iowa by three. That
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: was upholstered. Trump took Iowa by 18. 18, Mark.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Just a little swing.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: A little swing, even in your state. Ted Cruz, when
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: he was up against Colin Allred, remember that race?
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, of course.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Do you remember what the pollster said? Oh, it's neck
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: and neck. It's anybody's race. Cruz wins. Maybe he's only
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: up by one point. He won by like almost 10 points,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: eight and a half points. So, Mark, here we go again.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: It's like Lucy with the football and Charlie Brown. We're
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: pretending that suddenly these pollsters have this burst of credibility. And, Mark,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: they do not. They do not. Stop it.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: And what is happening? I mean, there are lots of
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: different pollsters, and the answer may not be the same
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: from polling organization to polling organization. But what do you
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: think is happening? You know that virtually everybody watching and listening,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: listening to our radio shows, watching this enterprise– You know
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: that there is a vast belief that pollsters are partisan,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: that they are trying to ask questions designed to elicit
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: a certain response. And then they can pedal it back,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: dial it back and say, hey, things changed. Do you
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: believe that the ridiculous Tallarico lead over Paxton that you
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: can find in virtually every poll is? Is that real?
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Did they balance it? Did they imbalance it? Did they
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: tilt it? Are pollsters as in the tank for the
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: left as many people think they are?
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Well, I asked that very question of Newt Gingrich earlier today,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: and Newt said pollsters are mostly left, even if they
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: don't publicly reveal it. And they do have an agenda.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: They are intentionally demoralizing Republican voters. And look, John Cornyn
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: isn't helping in your state. John Cornyn, my gosh, and
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: you've interviewed the guy, and I hope it's not a
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: sensitive subject to you.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Because— I don't mean like I'm personally wounded to learn
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: that a man who I've had such high regard for,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: you know, over the years has turned into such a
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: disappointing establishment toad.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Well, he's a snake. He's a snake. And here he
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: was on CNN. I want to play this. The guy stops.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Let's play this.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Manu Raju in the hallway of the Senate.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: And he starts out by saying, you know, I want
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: to make sure here you're not going to help support
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Ken Paxton in any way, shape, or form in his
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: race against Tallarico. Check this out, Mark.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: So you're not planning on helping him at all, fundraising?
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: That's correct.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Why is that?
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Well, for all the reasons that we pointed out in
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: the primary, I think, you know, You know, the risk
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: for Republicans is if we nominate flawed candidates in November,
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: we risk losing. And we haven't elected a Democrat in
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: Texas statewide since 1990, well, before 1994. And this is
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: the way that, you know, majority parties become minority parties
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: by nominating candidates that are less than appealing to a
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: general election electorate.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Does he deserve to be a senator?
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: Say it again?
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Does he deserve to be a senator?
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: I'll let the voters.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Decide that one. Oh, you're going to let the voters decide? Well,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: the voters decided about you, Mr. Cornyn.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Sure did.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: The voters made a decision and they fired you. This
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: is what's crazy.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: 2-1 margin on the runoff on May 27th. And this
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: is just inexplicable.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: It was 2-1.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Did you say 2-1? It was nearly a 2. 60-something
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: to 30-something.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: It was not close. This was the Republican runoff. The
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: first go-round on March 3rd, they make us wait forever
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: for the runoffs in Texas for some reason. On March 3rd,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Cornyn had 42. Paxton had 40 and Wesley Hunt had
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: about 13. So Cornyn got a plurality. But the Wesley
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Hunt vote was a Paxton vote. And then it all
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: kind of gravitated over to him, which is why in
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: the runoff, it wasn't even remotely close. And yet here
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: is John Cornyn talking about what the voters want and
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: what voters seem to indicate their tastes are. What the
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Republican voter taste was was to turn the page past him,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: and he just can't handle it. And I know it's hard.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Losing sucks.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I get it. I get it. But, man, this is
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: not helpful. This is just so not helpful.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: And I got into a fight with a South Carolina
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: caller today because you've got Darlene Graham Nordone, Lindsey Graham's sister,
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: up against Dr. Annie Andrews. Now, you take a gander
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: at what Dr. Annie Andrews stands for. I mean, it's
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: like a fever dream of leftist, radical, rabid nonsense from
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: guns to all of it. You go down the list,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: everything you'd expect, abortion up to the moment of birth,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: abortion All the crazy stuff. And this guy said, well,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to vote for Darlene because she's– look
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: at her track record. Look at her voting record. I said,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: excuse me? She doesn't have a voting record. What are
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: you talking about? Well, she gave herself a raise when
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: she was the director of The Blind and whatever she did.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Oh, Lord.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Give me a break. I said, you mean Darlene giving
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: herself a raise– Makes her less viable than Dr.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Annie Andrews.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: And the guy– and here's the crazy part. The guy
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: thoroughly agreed at how radical and what a lunatic Annie
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Andrews is. Yep. And yet he wants to get her elected. Yeah, exactly.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: It's unreal to me. And they will tell you, no,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: they don't. This takes me back to Trump in 2016.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: It's like, well, I just don't think I can do the,
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: you know, I can't pull the lever for Trump. Then
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: a Hillary presidency is OK. Oh, no.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Well, then you're going to vote for Trump. Oh, no,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I can't. It is a it's a crazy making circular
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: argument that it makes it it makes it clear that
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: it's all performative argument. From Cornyn on down to the
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: dog catcher to your buddy at Starbucks, if they cannot 100%
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: get behind Ken Paxton, then by definition, they are okay
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: with a Tallarico win. In South Carolina, anybody, listen, I.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Was a Ralph Norman guy.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: If you can't get, but Darlene won fair and square.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: And if you can't get behind her, that means you
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: are okay with this ghoulish Democrat winning. By definition, there
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: is no escaping this.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Right, and my mystery in my mind is are these
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: people just ignorant? Are they obtuse? Or are they sort
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: of deviously wanting to punish the state that they live
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: in because they're mad that the outcome of the election
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: didn't go the way they wanted it to go?
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Combination of B and C. Combination of B and C. Obtuseness,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: just the inability to kind of go, I don't like
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: this person, but the other person.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: But that was B. Obtuse was B. Your third choice— wanting,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: secretly or not so secretly, to just deliver a shiv
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: into the ribs of people that just didn't vote the
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: way they wanted to, even in their own party. John
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Cornyn would love Tallarico to win. So would some of
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: the people around the state who are making those similar noises.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: And they have this perverse logic that a Paxton Laws— this
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: is kind of the Karl Rove approach— I can't even
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: speak his name anymore, that it kind of would be
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: a refreshing cleanser, a stable cleaning, as Karl Rove, I think,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: put it. in order to get the Republican Party back
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: the way it needs to be. Good gosh almighty.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to ask. Everybody's back. All these comments.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Here we go again. My inferiority complex. Mark is back. Oh,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: my life is complete. Mark and Mike are back together.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I love that. Look, you know I'm mostly teasing. But
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: what we need is action from our podcast audience. Now,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: we have a smaller audience today. Now, initially with our podcast,
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: because it's brand new. This is a new venture that
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: we're on together. And so we're building, we're growing. And
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: one of the things we want to deliver is success
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: to our partners. I want to ask everybody who's listening
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: or watching the podcast right now to join me in
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: doing something. And I'm doing something in real time. I've
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: just texted FFTP to 51555. Because when you do that
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: on your phone... You're going to get a link back
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: where you can make a contribution. to Food for the Poor. Now,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: let me tell you why it's important. First of all,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Food for the Poor is a beautiful ministry. They have
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: delivered 4.7 billion meals. I'm saying billion with a B
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: to people all over the world. They don't just drop
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: food boxes off and then they get out. They don't
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: do that. They buy from local farmers. They stay entrenched
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: in communities that really need it. Now, if you text
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: the letters FFTP on your phone to 51555, you can
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: make a donation. And I'm doing it right now. I'm
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: going to do a pretty sizable donation to get the
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: ball rolling because I got a report today. We've been
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: with Food for the Poor for a week or two,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: and it's a little flat, Mark. I'm not going to
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: sugarcoat this.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Then I am going to meet you on the battlefield
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: and ask you to follow your example. Again, texting FFTP,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: which stands for Food for the Poor. to 51555. And listen,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: we've talked about a lot of fundraising efforts throughout our careers.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: If you don't have $ 1, 000 lying around, that's fine. You
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: got 100, you got 20, because everything you do helps
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: these amazing people add to their 44 plus year legacy.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: You mentioned those 4.7 billion meals. We've seen some of
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: them with yours and my own eyes. Our trip, we
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: made a few years back to Guatemala to see what
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: these people do, bringing food and faith, bringing hope and help.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: And if you can just be a part of that
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: here in our hemisphere for some of the neediest among us,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: it'll be a great, great kickstart. As summer goes into fall,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: as everybody gets back sort of into the working grind
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: after summer, text FFTP to 51555. And help us get
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: a really good, solid donation boost today. We would love it.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: The link is right there.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: And you want to match my– can I challenge you?
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Because here's what I just did. $ 160 feeds four children,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: four starving, needy children for an entire year. Will you
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: match my 160, Mr. Davis? The moment we're done. The
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: moment we're done. And I did it just now. It's
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: so easy. In fact, it's kind of crazy how simple
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: the process is. So if you text FFTP, it's a
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: text message, and your address, the one you're sending it to,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: is 51555. Text FFTP to 51555. I'm not kidding.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: You, Mark.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: In the last 30 seconds that you and I have
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: been talking, I made the donation of $ 160. It's the
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: first option you have. You can feed four children for
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: a year, and we're very, very grateful. So if everybody
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: will do that today, come on, let's have a better
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: report tomorrow because they're now starting to keep daily reports.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: I know you and I are going to meet later
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: today with the great folks. at Food for the Poor.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: And let's have a great start with this. These are
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: folks that have invested in our show because they know
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: that this audience responds, so we need you. Relief Factor
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: knows how responsive you are when it comes to supplements. Hey,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: when you're suffering back pain, leg pain, shoulder pain, neck pain,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, look. Look at Mark Davis. We were so
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: excited because Mark likes to take a tennis ball, and
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: he throws a ball with Igor and Kathy out in
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: the backyard of his house. Igor and Kathy. One's a
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: golden retriever, right? And one's a poodle. And a rat terrier.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: And a rat terrier. Yep. Igor and Kathy are now
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: with Daddy, and you're throwing a ball with a lot
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: less stress and strain on that sore shoulder of yours. Why, Mark?
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Because of Relief Factor.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Relief Factor. Just taking that little rotator cuff issue away.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: If the Rangers had me on the mound, maybe they
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: could have made the playoffs this year. I wouldn't take
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: that leap, but I'll take this leap, and that is
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: to leap toward Relief Factor. 1-800-4-relief or relieffactor.com. And you
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: can have a couple. And listen, everybody's issue is going
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: to be different. Mike has some back issues. I had
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: a shoulder issue. I also had that sort of approaching
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: your 69th birthday, kind of sore for a few minutes when.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: You wake up issue.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: And I don't even have that anymore because it's like
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: it's the all natural ingredients and relief factor. They just
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: work their way into your system in a non-narcotic way.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: And they just make you better. They make you feel better.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: They give you a pain-free life. And I wouldn't trade
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: anything for it. 1-800-4-RELIEF. And that starter kit is $ 17.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: 76.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Get it, $ 17.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: 76.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: At relieffactor.com or 1-800-4-RELIEF. We hope you'll do it and
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: have the kind of results that Mike and I and
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: a bunch of other people have had as well. 1-800-4-RELIEF, relieffactor.com.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: You mentioned sports. Dare I ask you about the Dallas Cowboys?
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Look at the time.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Wow. Mark. Mark.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Look, did they intentionally sabotage the end of that game?
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: How do you not? That game was guaranteed overtime. Seven
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: seconds to go. You got the ball on the two.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Dak overthrows George Pickens supposedly on purpose. But then it's okay.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: It's seven seconds, whatever. Then you kick the field goal.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: You tie it up. And then you actually kick off
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: to them, which was an enormous mistake. Just squib it.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Let some clock time. And maybe not all the clock
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: would have gone away, but you would have had like
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: two or three seconds instead of seven it was enough
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: for Lamar Jackson to loft a pass call a timeout
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: and kick a game-winning field goal with one second to
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: go from 56 yards out in a stadium where they
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: never should have been playing. These international games make me crazy,
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: whether it's Rio or Frankfurt or Dublin or Melbourne. Why
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: do they do this, Mark?
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Money.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: They make a bunch of money.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: From who?
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: From the people in Rio?
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Sure. They have– is it kind of fun to go
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: see some American football– If you're living in Rio or
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Dublin or Melbourne, Australia, sure. So if you throw the
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Jaguars and somebody out there, the long-suffering Jaguars who get
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: most of those foreign games.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: What are they going to do?
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Are they going to have a foreign division? Are they
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: going to have a European division and make people play
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: their entire season jet-lagged out of their gourd? It's stupid,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: and I wish they would stop.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Well, you know where you're going to make money is
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: you're going to make money in Dallas or you'd make
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: money in Baltimore or you'd make money for the teams
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: that host the games. I don't I am with you.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: I find these games that we play in the National
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Football League or in America's Major League Baseball. in Rio
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: or Paris or the black hole of Calcutta being the
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: stupidest thing imaginable. Why are you sticking your thumb in
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: the eye of a sports fan in Dallas, Texas, who
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: wants to see the game?
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: This would have been a home game. I don't know
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: if it would have been ours or the Ravens, but
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: it would have been something that the fans in either
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: of these cities would were denied the opportunity to go
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: and root for their team so that they could go
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: make a whole bunch of money in Brazil.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Brazil!
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: I would have had this complaint even if the Cowboys
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: had won. But they've got huge problems. The Schottenheimer honeymoon
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: is over. The coaching is bad. The preparation is bad.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Our talent remains good, which makes this intolerable.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: It's awful. Gosh, I feel bad. I felt bad for
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: the Tampa Bay Bucs. I was watching the Bucs game
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: last night a little bit, too, here in Tampa Bay.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: They blew it, and that hot shot quarterback went down.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: They showed that injury. Mark, you don't often see this
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: on TV. I'm trying to think of the gunslinger quarterback.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: I'm drawing a blank for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield?
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield goes down with a thumb injury. Look, if
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: you are in the NFL, I don't care what position
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: you're in, you're a tough, you're a man's man. You're
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: a tough guy. son of a, you know what you're,
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: you can take, I mean, these guys get hit on
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: a regular, he went down and he was screaming and
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: you could hear the announcer. And of course now they've
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: got the, I guess the sub for Tony Romo, if
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: I'm not mistaken, it was that crew was Jim Nance
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: and somebody else was JJ Watt. And I, and who's not,
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: he's no Tony Romo. And I'm sorry. I love me
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: some Tony Romo. I don't, I know he's polarizing and,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: controversial as a broadcaster. I think he's a good guy.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: I think he had a bad day and he made
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: a mistake, and I don't think he ought to lose
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: his career over the operating while intoxicated thing he had
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: in Wisconsin. But in any event, I think it was J.J.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: I think that was the same broadcast group.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: We've got to pause for a second because Jim Nance
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: and J.J. Watt were doing the Brazil game.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, they were doing the Cowboys game. All right, so
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: whoever the color commentator was for the Bucs, I'm sorry.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: I only watched a few minutes of it, but he said–
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: You can hear him screaming. Mark, he went down, and
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: you could hear it on the audio from the game.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: The quarterback was screaming. Look, I'd be dead. They didn't
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: put me in a body bag. I mean, it may
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: just be a thumb, but you get my thumb pulled backwards.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: You just have– that's it for me. Get me off
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: the field and take me to the funeral home.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: The worst– I still remember because before they changed the
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: name and repelled me forever when I was growing up
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: in the suburbs of D.C. Of course, I bled burgundy
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: and gold for a long time. And then I was
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: working my way through radio and I was in Memphis
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: in the mid-1980s when Lawrence Taylor went down on Joe
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Theismann's back leg as he reared back to pass. I
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: still see that.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: Nightmares.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: That was a nightmare. God bless them all. Hey, can
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: we do a little Bill Maher? Go back to him
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: for a moment. Do you mind? I want to play
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: something for you. This was from a week ago. But
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: it's so true. And I was saving it for you
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: on your triumphant return to the Eminem Extra. Bill Maher,
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Trump was taking some pot shots at Maher this morning.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: And I don't, Trump ought to take the win on
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Bill Maher. Because Bill Maher is willing to give Trump
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: credit where credit is due.
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: You know, if there's a criticism of Trump that is accurate,
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: and I say this as a supporter, you're a supporter,
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: we voted for him three times. The criticism of Trump
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: that is accurate is if you're not 100% on board
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: with him, he's liable to just take your legs out
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: from under you. And he did that today. He put
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Bill Maher in the same category as, I think, Scarborough,
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: or maybe it was O'Donnell, one of the MSNL clowns.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: And it's like Bill Maher is so willing to be
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: fair with Trump sometimes.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Not always.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Not necessarily consistently. But he does give him credit where
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: credit is due. I want you to hear the little
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: tirade he went on about what the Democratic Socialists of
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: America represent. This was last week. You were already gone.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: He had Jessica Tarloff on as a guest from The Five.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: And she was doing her best to try to keep
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: her head above water. And Maher wasn't having a lot
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: of her either. And listen to what Maher said. Hey,
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: we're 36 days away. You're going to vote for the DSA?
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: You want to vote for these DSA candidates? Do you
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: know what the Democrat Socialists of America stand for? Bill
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Maher does.
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: Have you seen the platform from the Democratic Socialists of America?
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: They ask us to imagine a future without capitalism, where
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: your job isn't just a job to pay bills. And
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: then they say, speaking of bills, you don't really have
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: them anymore.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: No bills. I'm listening. I'm listening to insanity, but I'm listening.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: I'm listening.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: Their website says in the future, you don't pay a
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: mortgage or have a landlord because comfortable housing is a
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: human right.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: So the government pays for all housing for everyone everywhere?
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: That sounds like it could be a little pricey. Oh,
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: not just housing?
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Also health insurance? Food? Education? Medicine? Transportation? Free daycare? Free
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: universal daycare?
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Just day?
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: What about.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: What about night? So, I mean....
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: Just how much will this heaven on earth cost? Well,
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: the estimates are between 72 trillion and 212 trillion, which,
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: of course, Debbie Downer economists say will cause astronomical.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Inflation, whatever. Well, then give everyone more money.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: Isn't that hard? Just stop worrying about money. It gives
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: you those fine lines.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: Like, take L.A. County. Something bad happened here.
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: Kids in foster care were abused in decades past, going back.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: To 1959, and now L.A.
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: Is going to give almost $ 5 billion to the victims,
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: even though experts say this may very well bankrupt the
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: county and thus the people who live here today, who
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: feel bad about the whole thing but didn't themselves commit
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: sex crimes in the Eisenhower era. But we're going to
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: do it anyway because it's the right thing to do
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: in a world where money is free and consequences don't exist.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: People, money is there to be given away. I mean,
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: it's not really there, of course.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: It's all gone.
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: What would be your opinion of $ 5 million? Because in 2021,
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: the San Francisco reparations plan recommended paying every eligible black
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: adult that amount, plus a house for $ 1 and the
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: elimination of all personal debt and a guaranteed income of
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: nearly $ 100, 000.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: For 250 years.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: And let me just say, not only do I support
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: this proposal, I'm willing to identify as whatever it takes
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: to get it. I mean, imagine what you'd get if
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: you're black and got diddled in foster care.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, oh, oh, just I mean, but it's classic. And
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: then just this past weekend on the same real time
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: program with Bill Maher, he's talking about crime going down.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: He said, sure, some of that's political, some of it's not.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: But of the part that's political, it's called Trump making
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: clear that that crime is going to have punishment, that
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: wrongdoing may not be as tolerated. that Democrats are way
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: more permissive about everything, and maybe some of the reason
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: that crime is going down is because, Bill Maher's words,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: because Trump is a badass. You can't not notice things
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Let's listen. This is a shorter clip. Let's listen together.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: We've got that clip as well. Bill Maher, this is
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: giving Trump credit where credit is due, and I would
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: think President Trump would like being described by Bill Maher
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: as a badass.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: And it's not just drug crime that's way down. It's
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: all crime. And again... Probably much of it is not political.
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: It's because you can't move two inches in America without
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: being tracked, photographed, and followed by a flock camera. But
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: it's also because when Democrats expand the safety net, there
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: are less desperate people. And because Trump is a badass. Now,
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: I don't agree with many of his methods, like how
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: they sometimes just deport people to countries where they have
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: absolutely no connection, like Meghan and Harry. LAUGHTER Is doing
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: it this way the right thing?
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: No.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: But it's just childish to pretend that when you elect
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: to f * * * around and find out president,
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: a no more Mr. Nice Guy booting your ass, V
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: for Vendetta, kick ass and take names, say hello to
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: my little friend president, that's not going to have some
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: effect on crime.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: He has UFC fights on the lawn. I think the
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: bad guy's got the message.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: That's it?
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: The badass.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: And yet to have won over... To have Bill Maher
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: saying those things about you is as noteworthy a victory
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: as any dyed-in-the-wool, red-meat conservative saying good things about you.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: We're supposed to. We're front-loaded to have support for the
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Trump agenda. When you get something like that– and I
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: know in Trump land, it's either– It's very, very binary,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: very black and white. You're either for me or against me.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: And when Bill Maher went to the White House and
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Trump autographed the 100 or so insults, he has that
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: framed in his own podcast studio there on Club Random,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: the podcast he does. But I don't know. These are
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: curious times.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: These are curious times, and they get curiouser and curiouser.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: When you were gone on Friday, I decided to devote
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: the whole episode to my heart health. And I did
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: it because it's relevant to people. And when you get
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: to a certain age, after you're 50, you've got to
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: stay on top of stuff. And you and I are
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: so thankful for these body scans because you had one.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: showed a little bit of a concern. They got in there.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: They did a little, they did the end, the catheterization,
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: and you got a 30% blockage, which is pretty good.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: You're all right. You're going to be fine. You're going
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: to stay on top of it. They checked me after
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: a body scan, and I have a 52% blockage in
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: the old Widowmaker. And I'm, you know, I'm going to
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: be very careful about it. And one of the big
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: things they tell you to do is lose weight. And
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: when I think about how God has blessed us with
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: so many Ways to take care of yourself. Look, weight
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: is a huge factor when it comes to plaque buildup
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: in your arteries. It's just a fact. And you lose
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: the weight and you stay. Look, 30 minutes a day
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: on the bike now. I'm doing it seven days a week.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: My doctor said, Mike, you could do five. I said, nope,
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: I want to do seven. And I don't kill myself.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, I do a moderate amount. 30 minutes, I
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: can doom scroll on my phone. I can stare at
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: my new handle on X at Mike Gallagher rather than
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: at Gallagher's show, but I'm doing it while I'm pedaling.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: But I also, thank goodness, can share the news that
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: PhD weight loss works. Somebody just texted on the comment
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: line on our YouTube page that Mike's You can see
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: Mike getting thinner and thinner, and I am. I put
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: weight back on this past year. I got back on
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: the PhD bandwagon, and I said, no more. And I've lost,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: I'm not kidding you, since June 25th. I'm right now
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: at almost 40 pounds down. Since June 25th, this is
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: only the end of September, PHD works.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Well, this is incredible. With that kind of time and
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: that kind of track record, there's no reason for people
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: not to go right to 864-644-1900, 864-644-1900, or myphdweightloss.com. There's
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: a familiar Mike G promo code. Mike and Mark, they'll
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: know that you got it from us. And you get
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: two free weeks in the program. They'll even cover the
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: cost of the food. What's that, $ 1, 500? So who doesn't
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: want to do that?
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: 864-644-1900 or MyPhDWeightLoss.com. Take advantage of these great tools that
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: we have around us to stay on top of things. Because, Mark, look,
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: and I did. I got tons of great feedback after
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: I did the show. I was a little embarrassed because
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: I thought, but I was like literally reading my heart
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: scan on the air Friday on the podcast. I thought,
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: narcissist much? But I wanted people to know that this
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: is what I've got. This is what I'm facing. And
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: you know me. You know me well enough to know
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: I am convinced I'm going to drop dead any second now.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've got Tracy involved. I've got her enrolled
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: in CPR classes.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Talk fast. Just in case.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. No kidding.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Get this going, man.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Did you when you got the concern and I remember
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: your call and you you and I talked privately before
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: you went public with your heart catheterization and you shared,
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: you know, but you sounded fine. You weren't worried at all.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Were there any doubts? Did you do you think about
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: your mortality in moments like these, Mark?
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: My dad had a heart attack when he was 36
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: years old, and I've outlived both my mom and my dad.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Both my mom and my dad had both cancer and
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: heart disease, so I'm just happy to get to each weekend.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: And yet, I've had doctors tell me that having outlived
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: both of my parents, my mom died when she was 64,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: my dad's 66, and I'll be 69, God willing, coming
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: up in November, that it means that there must be markers.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: And of course, I've also never smoked.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: I guess I'm pretty good at handling stress or making
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: decisions that lead to less stress, which is a good
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: thing that I took way too long to figure out.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: But that suggests that it's not like there's a ticking
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: clock on me necessarily any more or less than anybody else.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: But I feel like I have a strong sense of
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: faith in God's timing, but also that I, too, want
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: to do things in terms of weight loss and exercise
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: and just being just making good decisions and so that
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: ultimately you don't have to walk around just wondering if
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: this is your last day, if this is your last year. But,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: you know, heredity is one thing. Choices are another. And, yeah,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: there are two lists, things that are under your control
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: and things that aren't. Of the things that are under
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: your control, get on it.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: Get on it. And the things that aren't, let them go.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: You can't control heredity. And I'm the same way. I
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: lost my mom when she was 59. My dad died
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: when he was 63. So I've outlived both of them too.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: And I think about that often. And I always thought,
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: because cancer took them both. I mean, my mom died
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: of bladder cancer. My dad died of what was really
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: cancer of the blood. It was leukemia. but they both
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: died at young ages. And so I always figured cancer
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: was probably, I hate to say it out loud, but
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: in the cards for me, I'd never dreamed of heart,
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: never thought there'd be some kind of a heart thing. And,
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: you know, but look, I'm going to control what I
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: can control. In fact, I'm going to meet with a
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: cardiologist tomorrow for the first time here in Florida. And
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: then I have a friend whose voice is in my
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: head saying, Mike, You don't want a Florida cardiologist. You
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: want a New York cardiologist. Why? Because the New York
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: cardiologists are better. Now, I don't know if that's true
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: or not. Oh, that's weird.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: You don't buy that?
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: It's not– I mean– I mean, I go to New
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: York all the time. I go to New York regularly.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: So if you have a choice– I guess just by
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: raw population, if they're just more people, more doctors. But
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: it's not like the difference between New York and Idaho.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're in Florida, which is God's waiting room
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: for a lot of people because you've got tons of
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: quality cardiologists that will keep you on the planet for
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: as long as we need.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: I hope so. Well, we'll keep you posted on it.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: I'm going to, you know me, I don't suffer in
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: silence and there's no suffering. Oh, we're going to know everything.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: But I feel great. Like you feel great. I mean,
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: we both feel good and we love doing what we
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: get to do, but look, this is truly life and
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: death kind of stuff. And we want to stay alive
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: for as long as possible. And I want you to
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: step up and save babies' lives. That's why Preborn is
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: our title sponsor. Every day we get to select this beautiful,
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: beautiful organization that simply provides ultrasounds to young women and
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: girls who are considering an abortion, because Mark, it is
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: statistically a fact that when a woman sees her baby
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: on an ultrasound and hears her baby's heartbeat, it doubles
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: the chance that she's going to choose life.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: And it's easy that when you think about it, it
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: becomes pretty obvious because abortion for many is kind of
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: conceptual where you just go, I got a problem, got
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: to fix the problem.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: When you see what's going on, you realize that you
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: don't have a problem. You have a life growing inside you.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: If the problem is you don't want to be a mom, okay,
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: choose life, choose adoption. You don't have to kill that
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: life that's growing inside you. And if that ultrasound and
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: hearing the heartbeat and seeing the life growing inside you
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: is Is something that helps you choose life? Isn't that
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: something everybody listening and everybody watching would like to do
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: something to help? And here's how you can. $ 140 helps
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: give five mothers a free ultrasound. $ 280 saves 10 babies.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: $ 28 a month can help save a baby a month
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: for less than a dollar a day. And if you
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: do happen to have $ 15, 000, you can buy an ultrasound
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: machine that will save lives for years to come. And

  Speaker 3: our pre-born campaign... I've got this vision that M &
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: M Extra is going to donate an entire ultrasound machine,
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: which is $ 15, 000. So far, we have two people who
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: graciously donated $ 3, 000 apiece, tax deductible, and you're going to
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: have lunch with Mark and Mike in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: So we need three more. We've got 6,000 in. We
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: need three more donors. You can bring a guest. And Mark,
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: we've got to start doing this on our respective shows.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: Can we dive in tomorrow on Eminem? Let's do it.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: Eminem Experience. I mean, let's do it on your show
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: on KSky and then on my network show we'll do
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: it as well. Because I think we can wrap this
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: up and get 15,000 in. in the kitty. There's nothing
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: like this audience. And the podcast family is growing and
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: becoming connected with one another. And we're doing it in
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: a variety of ways. Mark, I like getting personal on
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: this podcast. I like asking you things about mortality. One
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: of my kids and one of my sons and I
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: talked last night about everything he was calling to see
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: how I was feeling and what's going on. He said,
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: are you scared? And I said, I'm scared of one thing.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: I'm not scared of dying. I'm not scared of when
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: God says it's your time. I don't want to die
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: like alone and like Lindsey Graham. That was the reason
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: I got the scan, by the way. When I read
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: about the circumstances behind Lindsey's passing— I thought this poor
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: guy is in his townhouse in D.C. calling his staff,
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: knowing something was terribly wrong. And then they couldn't get
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: in the door because the door was locked. That's what
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: I don't want. I don't want to have a cardiac
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: event while I'm home alone, and I don't know if
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: they're going to get up to me in time or whatever.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: That's what scares me, and that's just me venting a
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: little bit publicly and getting very personal.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Well, it's funny, too, because if there are any two
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: people who do radio shows with their lives just spilled
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: out like an open book, it's you and me. But
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: there's something about this environment where we have the time
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: and complete topical freedom. We have a radio obligation to
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: hit the top news stories, which we do here in
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: the podcast world as well. But when it's just time
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: to kind of just riff about life, I still have
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: people come to me and talk about a month, two
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: months ago when we did Education Friday, which involved education policy,
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: but also involved what it was like when young Mark
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: and young Mike were in school and the stories of
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: your childhood and And what you kind of had to
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: go through with what was going on at home or
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: what was going on in a couple of weird school situations,
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: it was in such detail and so vivid, people still go,
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: I couldn't stop listening. I couldn't. And it just touched people.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: We don't get together in three dimensions as human beings
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: enough to talk about stuff. So if the stuff that
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: we do helps just be a plan B for that,
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: then I'm more than blessed and more than happy to
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: do it with you and with all these wonderful viewers
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: and listeners.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: I'd love to make Eminem Extra a place where we
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: get deeply personal, especially on Fridays when we sort of
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: go off the typical headlines and the breaking news. So
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: join us each and every day. Thank you for being
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: a part of it. A big thank you to Eric
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: and Yasmin and Tracy for doing such a great job
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: helping to put this podcast together. And Mark, let's do
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: it again tomorrow. What do you think?
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: I think that's a plan.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow will be five weeks to the election.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: We'll have that and much more.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: So do join us. See you tomorrow.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
