- 3:17Speaker 2: Well and maybe higher aspirations than Congress. I don't know,
- 3:21Speaker 2: maybe maybe a senator, maybe, maybe a governor, maybe who knows,
- 3:26Speaker 2: you know.
- 3:27Speaker 1: What he's up to. We don't go ahead and I'll
- 3:28Speaker 1: tell you what he's up to.
- 3:29Speaker 2: All I want to know, all I want to get
- 3:31Speaker 2: is his reaction to this insane, despicable, diabolical Dignity Act.
- 3:40Speaker 1: No, it's not your wrong language mind.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Oh yeah, dignidad, dignity dig dad.
- 3:47Speaker 1: I mean God bless Spanish. It's a love it. But
- 3:48Speaker 1: when you're naming things in another language, that's how you
- 3:51Speaker 1: know what's coming.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Well, that's the red flag of all red flags. It's
- 3:55Speaker 2: not even in fact, let's not ever call it the
- 3:57Speaker 2: Dignity Act. Now that you mention it, it's the dig
- 4:01Speaker 2: It's like that one reporter over on Channel eight, is
- 4:04Speaker 2: it Cynthia's I'm like, are you in Cornovaka? Are you
- 4:13Speaker 2: in Dallas? I mean, God bless her? Because she doesn't
- 4:15Speaker 2: do anything else like that, not like she says there
- 4:17Speaker 2: was an accident ruver on the Iron thirty fire.
- 4:22Speaker 1: She talks and at the name and it doesn't happen.
- 4:25Speaker 1: It's funny because I give I give people some dispensation
- 4:28Speaker 1: when it's their ethnicity. It's weird because on Channel eight
- 4:32Speaker 1: forever it was John McKay and Gloria Compost and then
- 4:35Speaker 1: I don't know if the memo came out, because all
- 4:36Speaker 1: of a sudden, Gloria Compost became and good evening, I'm
- 4:38Speaker 1: Gloria Compost.
- 4:39Speaker 2: I was like, wait a minute, well, by the way,
- 4:41Speaker 2: Gloria compos If I'm not mistaken, she's another character. She's
- 4:45Speaker 2: a trumpeting anti conservative digitath. You know she's retired, isn't
- 4:50Speaker 2: she She.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Is, but still a social media presence and I was
- 4:54Speaker 1: around her head her on the show a couple of times.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Couldn't have been a nicer lady. But funny thing is
- 5:00Speaker 1: gringo newscasters now feel the need, you know, to You'll
- 5:05Speaker 1: have a guy sitting there just white as you and me,
- 5:08Speaker 1: looking into the camera and going, you know, Marlin's third baseman, Alberto.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Why nobody Nobody does. No, there's no other nationality where
- 5:19Speaker 1: we feel the need to do this. No one covering
- 5:21Speaker 1: the masters will say, well, the first round leader maclroy,
- 5:25Speaker 1: he was out on the course of you know Irish
- 5:27Speaker 1: Prime Minister Shawn.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Well here look well, Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar and Republican
- 5:40Speaker 2: represented Vernica Esco Brerar from Texas are the two bipartisan
- 5:46Speaker 2: co sponsors of the Dignidad Act. Mark, you you should
- 5:52Speaker 2: go look at the bill. Read the bill. Student loan
- 5:56Speaker 2: forgiveness for lawyers who provide free legal service to illegals.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Importation of illegals who have already been deported, no fight attaxes.
- 6:06Speaker 2: It halts the mass deportation. It grants permanent residency. The
- 6:11Speaker 2: ag can stop deportation if the family claims a hardship.
- 6:16Speaker 2: I mean, on and on. Even illegals with d UI
- 6:20Speaker 2: or d WI convictions can stay. Now, Mark, this is
- 6:25Speaker 2: why do Republicans do this to Republicans.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Because they're scared. They are a wified of seeming like
- 6:33Speaker 1: we're mean. You know. See, Trump gets elected on a
- 6:37Speaker 1: huge engine, part of which is getting serious about our
- 6:41Speaker 1: immigration laws. Part of it may have been the whole
- 6:43Speaker 1: reason they got light him in for a lot of people.
- 6:45Speaker 1: There are a lot of people who aren't that conservative
- 6:47Speaker 1: who voted for Trump anyway because they looked around and said, man,
- 6:49Speaker 1: we do have an immigration problem, and so they voted
- 6:52Speaker 1: for him. And then every once in a while, and
- 6:53Speaker 1: some of them are wonderful folks like Mike Lawler, Republican
- 6:56Speaker 1: of New York, of New York, he was eviscerated on
- 6:59Speaker 1: Laura Ingram before last. Cool, take a look at that,
- 7:03Speaker 1: because there are there are gutless, spineless Republicans who, especially
- 7:08Speaker 1: with the midterms, you know, bearing down on us. And listen,
- 7:11Speaker 1: you and I have concerns about the midterms, but our
- 7:13Speaker 1: concerns are not assuaged by all of a sudden becoming weaker.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Why whimping out on the conservative things that we ran on.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Well, this is coming. You mentioned Mike Lawler. I mean,
- 7:24Speaker 2: you got the Republicans from the Northeast, so they're a
- 7:28Speaker 2: different breed anyway. Then you got Hispanic Republicans from from
- 7:33Speaker 2: Texas and all. But it's an attempt to, as you said,
- 7:36Speaker 2: to a swage, look, blowing up the entire agenda and
- 7:40Speaker 2: making it look I mean, it's insane, and thank goodness,
- 7:43Speaker 2: the pushback is intense. Thank goodness, the reactions are strong,
- 7:49Speaker 2: and I am the Dignidad Act of twenty twenty five unbelievable.
- 7:53Speaker 2: First of all, who came up with that idea? Why
- 7:57Speaker 2: wouldn't you just call it the Dignity Act? Why would
- 7:59Speaker 2: you call it the Dignidad Act. I mean, what would
- 8:04Speaker 2: they what would their answer be? What would their answer be? What?
- 8:06Speaker 2: Why would they say that we're going to officially call
- 8:09Speaker 2: this the digit You know how many you know how
- 8:11Speaker 2: many complaints I get from people who get mad that
- 8:14Speaker 2: we have commercials that run during our respective shows on
- 8:18Speaker 2: our various digital platforms that are entirely in Spanish. And listen,
- 8:22Speaker 2: may I set the record straight. Please neither Mark Davis
- 8:25Speaker 2: or Mike Gallagher or really any of our teams have
- 8:29Speaker 2: anything to do with this. This is called programmatic advertising.
- 8:33Speaker 2: It gets inserted by these third party providers that we
- 8:36Speaker 2: have no control over, We have no say in this.
- 8:39Speaker 2: And every time I get a text, I try to
- 8:41Speaker 2: write people back, I'm with you, I get it. I agree.
- 8:44Speaker 2: So now you're going to call the Dignity Act the
- 8:46Speaker 2: Dignidad Act. That's a good move. That's real smart.
- 8:50Speaker 1: To answer your question to channel these people. I guess
- 8:53Speaker 1: it just makes it look even more so like we understand,
- 8:56Speaker 1: we care your plight, were outreach as like so.
- 9:02Speaker 2: Makes me sick? All right? Let me can can I
- 9:06Speaker 2: take thirty seconds or sixty seconds with you and get
- 9:08Speaker 2: your your gauge or your reaction to this Milania press
- 9:14Speaker 2: conference about the Epstein files.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Yeah, well you will you walk me through this? She
- 9:18Speaker 1: walks out and does five or six minutes of stop
- 9:21Speaker 1: linking me to Epstein. Okay, who had with any kind
- 9:24Speaker 1: of credibility? I thought that was kind of taken care of.
- 9:27Speaker 1: And then at a time when the administration, through Todd
- 9:30Speaker 1: blanche who's Attorney General for these twenty minutes until they
- 9:33Speaker 1: find a permanent successor, is essentially saying, okay, we've released
- 9:36Speaker 1: a lot of Epstein stuff, kind of a let's move on,
- 9:39Speaker 1: which I'm totally on board with. If there are bad
- 9:41Speaker 1: people in there and need to be found and prosecuted, sure,
- 9:43Speaker 1: let's go do that. But wow, what a wild distraction
- 9:46Speaker 1: and weird performative chapter. This has been kind of saying, Okay,
- 9:50Speaker 1: let's go. That seems to be the Trump attitude. Okay,
- 9:53Speaker 1: let's kind of get going. And then his wife is
- 9:55Speaker 1: out there talking about, hey, let's let's have the victims testify,
- 9:59Speaker 1: the victims, the vvictims. Well, God bless the victims. Absolutely,
- 10:02Speaker 1: I'm totally totally I don't know, man, what what When
- 10:06Speaker 1: I finished that five or six minutes, I'll play a
- 10:08Speaker 1: little bit of it. We probably all should what what
- 10:12Speaker 1: was achieved?
- 10:13Speaker 2: Where did that come from? And as I understand, and
- 10:15Speaker 2: as I understand, if the reporting is accurate, President Trump
- 10:18Speaker 2: didn't even know anything about it. He told somebody afterwards,
- 10:21Speaker 2: he didn't even know she was going to do that.
- 10:24Speaker 1: She goes out, I mean, what, why, how do you
- 10:27Speaker 1: do that with that? Let's say this didn't know. Let's
- 10:28Speaker 1: see he didn't know about it. And pardon the way
- 10:30Speaker 1: this sounds when I say, who allowed it? It's not
- 10:33Speaker 1: like she did something terrible, unpleased, not at all, but
- 10:35Speaker 1: I mean, it's like it creates an kind of moment
- 10:39Speaker 1: where you go, what's the messaging? What's the point?
- 10:41Speaker 2: Like, well, when I are doing it, it's feeding the
- 10:43Speaker 2: it's feeding the beach thought this whole Epstein thing. Meanwhile,
- 10:47Speaker 2: President Trump lashed out, as you know, yesterday at four
- 10:51Speaker 2: conservative critics of Iran. You got Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly,
- 10:55Speaker 2: Candae Owens, Alex Jones. The President, in a very diplomatic
- 11:00Speaker 2: technical way, called them nut jobs. Exactly, they are all
- 11:04Speaker 2: nut jobs. They have one thing in common, low IQ's
- 11:08Speaker 2: He said, they're stupid people. They know it, their families
- 11:11Speaker 2: know it. Everyone else knows it. Look at their past,
- 11:13Speaker 2: look at their record. They don't have what it takes,
- 11:16Speaker 2: and they never did. They've all been thrown off television,
- 11:18Speaker 2: they all lost their shows. They aren't even invited on
- 11:21Speaker 2: TV because nobody cares about them. They're nut jobs, trouble
- 11:25Speaker 2: makers and will say anything necessary for some free and
- 11:28Speaker 2: cheap publicity. Mister President, I wish you'd stop beating around
- 11:31Speaker 2: the bush, would you?
- 11:32Speaker 1: Exact? He just never gets to the point.
- 11:37Speaker 2: Wishy washy, He just kind of So there's.
- 11:42Speaker 1: That Piers Morgan on top of all the all four
- 11:44Speaker 1: because who was it was Megan, it was Candice, it
- 11:47Speaker 1: was Tucker and Hours Jones, don't even get me started.
- 11:50Speaker 1: But there was Piers Morgan saying, you know, the President
- 11:53Speaker 1: seems to no longer be listening to his friends, friends with.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Friends like those, no kidding, Well, let me let me
- 12:02Speaker 2: share some wisdom as we head into the weekend. And
- 12:04Speaker 2: it's been quite a week, and you and I finally
- 12:06Speaker 2: got all the paperwork finished to start the Eminem Extra.
- 12:09Speaker 2: So that's about to start in a few weeks, within
- 12:11Speaker 2: a few weeks, we hope. So stay tuned for an
- 12:13Speaker 2: exclusive podcast only Eminem Experience, which You've been a love.
- 12:17Speaker 2: We're excited as can be about it. And you and
- 12:19Speaker 2: I've spent a lot of time on the phone this week.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Ben Sass is he could be called the king of
- 12:25Speaker 2: the never trumpers. Okay, he was the one of the
- 12:27Speaker 2: original never trumpers, the former senator, Nebraska senator. He's a
- 12:32Speaker 2: college president here in Florida for a brief time. He's dying.
- 12:35Speaker 2: He was diagnosed in December with stage four pancreatic cancer.
- 12:40Speaker 2: And this guy is deciding to be very public about
- 12:44Speaker 2: this journey that he's on. Young, he's got young kids.
- 12:47Speaker 2: He's got a kid at home, he's got other two kids.
- 12:49Speaker 2: I think he went into college. I watched yesterday an
- 12:53Speaker 2: interview it's about a half hour maybe for Ross Doutfit
- 12:57Speaker 2: of the New York Times, hosted Ben Sass for his
- 13:01Speaker 2: podcast for the New York Times. Now, I'm not typically
- 13:03Speaker 2: a purveyor of the New York Times podcasts, but dat
- 13:07Speaker 2: Rossdaut and he's a New York Times conservative. Okay, so
- 13:11Speaker 2: he's saved for the New York Times. Okay, but these
- 13:13Speaker 2: are two smart guys. Ben Sass. His cancer treatment right
- 13:17Speaker 2: now has led to hemorrhaging all over his body. He's
- 13:21Speaker 2: bleeding all over his face, but yet he put on
- 13:24Speaker 2: a baseball cap and he sat down in a studio
- 13:26Speaker 2: with Ross Doutit and Mark. It's one of the most
- 13:28Speaker 2: remarkable conversations I have ever heard. A man who is
- 13:33Speaker 2: faced with death maybe weeks or months away, who has
- 13:36Speaker 2: got grace, who's got humility, who's got charm, humor. He
- 13:42Speaker 2: reminds Christians what we are supposed to believe as Christians,
- 13:47Speaker 2: that death is not the final answer.
- 13:49Speaker 1: That has leaned in and embraced it and decided to
- 13:53Speaker 1: take all of us very publicly on that journey. It's
- 13:55Speaker 1: hard to watch, and yet I believe it's mandatory to
- 13:58Speaker 1: watch viewings and is the definition of grace and peace
- 14:04Speaker 1: in one of the toughest circumstances. May God bless Ben
- 14:07Speaker 1: sass Well and his family.
- 14:09Speaker 2: Well done, and and and and I know there's a resistance,
- 14:13Speaker 2: probably because of his Trump hatred. Look, that is who
- 14:17Speaker 2: he is, who he is. I mean, you can't do that.
- 14:19Speaker 2: There's people that hate him. You're not put that aside.
- 14:22Speaker 1: He spending a lot of time talking about that. Now
- 14:24Speaker 1: he didn't talking about it much and all the definition
- 14:27Speaker 1: of focusing. There's nothing like dying. That makes you focus
- 14:32Speaker 1: on what the big stuff is. And he has chosen
- 14:34Speaker 1: to focus on the big stuff. Faith, peace, Uh, the courage,
- 14:41Speaker 1: and this guy's taking us all just he is. He's
- 14:44Speaker 1: take a gift to all of us.
- 14:46Speaker 2: God. I haven't posted on my ex account at Gallagher Show.
- 14:49Speaker 2: If you want to watch it again, it's about a
- 14:50Speaker 2: half hour, maybe a little longer, but it's worth It
- 14:52Speaker 2: is as you said, Mark so perfectly. It's mandatory viewing.
- 14:57Speaker 2: It reminds us, may we all, when when our time comes,
- 15:01Speaker 2: possessed that kind of courage and and and and grace.
- 15:04Speaker 2: All Right, I love you, Happy weekend, See you Monday.
