Latest / The M&M Experience / M AND M EXTRA May 19, 2026 Trump Announces Endorsement in TX Senate Race; Massie’s Fate in Kentucky
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
- 0:13Speaker 1: M Hot Topics in the News and wisdom from LFE.
- 0:16Speaker 1: It's Mark Davis and Mike Gallagher. This is eminem extra.
- 0:31Speaker 2: Oh boy, are we going to have a good day
- 0:33Speaker 2: as we welcome you in. Happy Tuesday. Welcome aboard. This
- 0:38Speaker 2: is a day the Lord hath made because Mark Davis,
- 0:43Speaker 2: mister mister wonderful, mister Politics, mister all things knowing. And
- 0:49Speaker 2: why what did I say this morning about Trump endorsing
- 0:54Speaker 2: in the contentious race between John Cornyn and Ken Paxson.
- 0:58Speaker 2: What did I say, mister David.
- 1:01Speaker 3: Against all evidence and sensibility, you pushed back against what
- 1:05Speaker 3: I've said for months, there's no upside to Trump endorsing.
- 1:09Speaker 3: He wouldn't endorse in Paxton versus Cornyn. Cornan himself said,
- 1:13Speaker 3: looks like this ship has sailed, And in the last
- 1:16Speaker 3: seven days it appeared pretty obvious and pretty baked in
- 1:19Speaker 3: that there would be no Trump endorsement in this race,
- 1:21Speaker 3: and yet you doggedly continue to cling to this notion.
- 1:24Speaker 3: I actually want to know what made you cling to
- 1:27Speaker 3: it so fervently because you have once again nostrodamus been proven.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Right now, everybody needs to know something. In a way,
- 1:35Speaker 3: I texted you that this is horrible timing, and yet
- 1:39Speaker 3: in a way it's pretty fascinating because right now, as
- 1:42Speaker 3: people are watching live, it's a couple of minutes after
- 1:45Speaker 3: eleven Central time afternoon Eastern time. Correct, the Trump the
- 1:49Speaker 3: Trump endorsement is going to happen, probably like right toward
- 1:52Speaker 3: the at the end of when if he's punctual, we'll
- 1:56Speaker 3: still be doing this.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Well, he's never punctual, thank you.
- 2:00Speaker 3: So this whole thing may be an artifact of speculation
- 2:06Speaker 3: that that once it certainly on, if everybody's listening on
- 2:09Speaker 3: Spotify or on Apple, it's already happened and we just
- 2:13Speaker 3: don't know it. So we're going to take a minute
- 2:15Speaker 3: and look. If it's corny and if it's Packston, what
- 2:18Speaker 3: does it mean. But let's not bury the lead. You
- 2:21Speaker 3: doggedly said he's going to endorse, and I went, he's
- 2:24Speaker 3: not going to endorse. Why would he? So let me
- 2:26Speaker 3: ask you, why do you think he's going to or
- 2:29Speaker 3: does it matter who it is? Before you really know
- 2:31Speaker 3: the answer.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Well, because I know the guy, because I I think
- 2:35Speaker 2: like all of us, we've studied the guy. Uh, we
- 2:37Speaker 2: appreciate his unpredictability. He can't help himself. He can't stay
- 2:42Speaker 2: out of the arena. Here, let's first of all, let's
- 2:46Speaker 2: let's before we go back to what I said this morning,
- 2:49Speaker 2: because gosh, do I love Duncan on you? Because I
- 2:52Speaker 2: never get to do it. I never get to do it.
- 2:54Speaker 2: And look, I'm wearing my I'm wearing my Hawaiian shirt today.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Look at my Look at my my, my flowery Hawaiian shirt.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Somebody was watching yesterday and they said, Mark is always
- 3:04Speaker 2: doing better with the colorful shirts. So here I come
- 3:07Speaker 2: in now with my Hawaiian shirt and you've got like
- 3:09Speaker 2: a Brooks Brothers button down on.
- 3:12Speaker 3: But the funny thing is what you've heard do is colorful.
- 3:14Speaker 3: It's just a little more festive. It still appears to
- 3:16Speaker 3: be black and white flowers, and it's great. It's the
- 3:20Speaker 3: weird thing I have.
- 3:21Speaker 1: I have.
- 3:21Speaker 3: I swear to God, we got to coordinate this. I
- 3:23Speaker 3: have a shirt that looks exactly like that. On one
- 3:26Speaker 3: day in the future we'll both wear them.
- 3:28Speaker 2: But we'll blow everybody's will blow everybody's minds. So, first
- 3:32Speaker 2: of all, about an hour or so ago, and let's
- 3:34Speaker 2: go through the timing of this because you're I'm glad
- 3:36Speaker 2: you mentioned this, Mark, because the timing of this is
- 3:38Speaker 2: going to get a little interesting for us. Yeah, we're
- 3:41Speaker 2: live on YouTube now. And by the way, we welcome
- 3:43Speaker 2: everybody in. And I said you got to come in,
- 3:45Speaker 2: you got to go to the YouTube live show today
- 3:47Speaker 2: because I.
- 3:48Speaker 3: I mean, watch me eat it on live YouTube.
- 3:51Speaker 2: I'm feeding Mark Davis Crowe live on YouTube because I
- 3:55Speaker 2: and and how long? How much have I been saying this.
- 3:57Speaker 2: I've been saying this all along consistently. He is going
- 4:00Speaker 2: to endorse. He's going to endorse. He's going to endorse.
- 4:03Speaker 2: And you kept saying there's no way, there's.
- 4:06Speaker 3: No net upside, and then by the way, there's not,
- 4:10Speaker 3: but which means you have it exactly right. No matter
- 4:12Speaker 3: what happens here in the next few minutes, he's going
- 4:14Speaker 3: to endorse somebody and thoroughly disappoint a couple of million
- 4:18Speaker 3: of his voters. Not right, but will but will it matter?
- 4:21Speaker 3: Probably not. If he will, we'll get to if he
- 4:24Speaker 3: endorses coin and if he endorses backs. Right, let's go
- 4:28Speaker 3: but you've identified before we do. You have identified the
- 4:31Speaker 3: real thing. And I think it is born of a familiarity,
- 4:34Speaker 3: and I should know this. It's just that that you
- 4:38Speaker 3: having been around him more. I don't know where the
- 4:40Speaker 3: clarity comes from. But even though I could sit here
- 4:42Speaker 3: in the nuts and bolts of saying, well, if he
- 4:44Speaker 3: does this, it might triangulate in the following way. In
- 4:47Speaker 3: a race with this much popularity and this much drama,
- 4:50Speaker 3: how could he stay on the sideline. If there's anything
- 4:53Speaker 3: the man loves, it's being talked about and being part
- 4:57Speaker 3: of every story. So I probably should have seen that
- 5:00Speaker 3: a little more clearly. Well, let's go through, and I
- 5:02Speaker 3: want to take and I do. Obviously I'm joking a
- 5:04Speaker 3: little bit. Well, I'm joking a lot. I do respect
- 5:07Speaker 3: your knowledge of Texas politics. And these are two, you know,
- 5:11Speaker 3: high profile Texans, John Cornyn, the incumbent US Senator from Texas,
- 5:15Speaker 3: and his challenger Ken Paxton. And he's got lots of
- 5:18Speaker 3: there's a lot of drama, there's a lot of baggage,
- 5:21Speaker 3: some would say a lot of personal stories.
- 5:24Speaker 2: But let me just let's just take a little trip
- 5:26Speaker 2: down memory lane. Let's go to the Mark Davis show
- 5:30Speaker 2: one of the most respective there.
- 5:32Speaker 3: LORDI, there are tapes, are there?
- 5:33Speaker 2: Lordy? There are tapes? LORDI? I hope there are tapes.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Eric Hanson is, Look, you can't get anything past Eric
- 5:40Speaker 2: and yasmin our team here at the eminem Extra, they're
- 5:44Speaker 2: the best. They can turn things around on a dime.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Let's go to about Oh, I don't know. Seven forty
- 5:50Speaker 2: this morning, Dallas time, my daily appearance on the Mark
- 5:54Speaker 2: Davis Experience. We call it EM and M Experience, where
- 5:59Speaker 2: I visit with Mark every day and for the million time,
- 6:02Speaker 2: I tried to tell my dear friend, an endorsement is coming.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Roll the tape. I'm gonna make a prediction he's gonna endorse.
- 6:11Speaker 3: Even class and said, I've even Cornyn yesterday said I
- 6:14Speaker 3: think that ship is sailed.
- 6:16Speaker 2: I'll bet you, I'll bet I'll bet he endorses this week.
- 6:19Speaker 2: I don't know, but I don't know who it's going
- 6:21Speaker 2: to be. That's what's crazy at this point. I have
- 6:23Speaker 2: no idea.
- 6:24Speaker 3: I means, why he ate, which is why he's not
- 6:26Speaker 3: going to endorse, won't he?
- 6:28Speaker 2: Look you said that he he said he would think
- 6:31Speaker 2: about whether or not to indorse.
- 6:33Speaker 3: He said, no, maybe somebody said, hey, you haven't endorsed
- 6:36Speaker 3: in corn And versus Paxton. His reply was, I'll make
- 6:39Speaker 3: a decision in the coming days. And everybody thought, oh,
- 6:42Speaker 3: he's either going to endorse coin inter PACs. One of
- 6:45Speaker 3: his decisions could be not to endorse at all.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Now let me.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Keep it rolling. And here's the restaurant. That's the rest
- 6:55Speaker 3: of the rest of them.
- 6:56Speaker 2: I know.
- 6:56Speaker 3: It's not to defend me, it's to make it look
- 6:58Speaker 3: even worse, which I deserve. And that they said. And
- 7:01Speaker 3: I said, and that's what he's going to do. And
- 7:03Speaker 3: that is to the decision not to endorse.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Well, see, and I mentioned, and I mentioned to you
- 7:08Speaker 2: this morning he the one interview he gave where he said,
- 7:12Speaker 2: I'm going to decide whether or not to endorse. And
- 7:15Speaker 2: then I saw something the other night on social media
- 7:17Speaker 2: that said he did say on a truth social post
- 7:20Speaker 2: that he's going to endorse. And you checked on the
- 7:23Speaker 2: fourth of March. Oh, yeah, here's what I said. It
- 7:25Speaker 2: was over Let me read, Let me read to the audience.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Let's let the jury decide this one. Well, what's the
- 7:30Speaker 2: date on what your what's the date?
- 7:32Speaker 4: No.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Today, eight fifty five am. I'm going to read ladies
- 7:36Speaker 2: and gentlemen of the jury. A text from mister Davis. Yes,
- 7:39Speaker 2: the scurless Mark Davis, are you talking about the truth
- 7:44Speaker 2: social post from March fourth, where he said he would
- 7:47Speaker 2: endorse one guy and tell the other to get out
- 7:50Speaker 2: ancient history. I said, yes, sir, that's what he said.
- 7:54Speaker 2: You said two and a half months ago, that went away.
- 7:58Speaker 2: I said, he's at it. He said it so, and
- 8:02Speaker 2: now let's take let's go to about an hour ago
- 8:05Speaker 2: outside the White House, which is what we're.
- 8:08Speaker 3: Good his assistant see him on top of the ballroom,
- 8:10Speaker 3: which was even better. Yes, with all the rug struck
- 8:12Speaker 3: noise going on, you have a hard hat on.
- 8:15Speaker 2: I wish he had a hard hat on, orange orange vest,
- 8:18Speaker 2: exactly like the McDonald's day. Here he was outside the
- 8:22Speaker 2: White House just about an hour and a half ago.
- 8:24Speaker 4: But I think Maggie's never been more together. Actually, I'm
- 8:27Speaker 4: going to be making an endorsement today in Texas. I'm
- 8:31Speaker 4: going to be putting out an endorsement in a little
- 8:33Speaker 4: while in Texas, the great state.
- 8:35Speaker 5: You know, I won.
- 8:36Speaker 4: Texas all six times meeting primaries at the race, and
- 8:40Speaker 4: I got the highest vote in the history of Texas,
- 8:42Speaker 4: and I love Texas, but I'm going to be making
- 8:44Speaker 4: an endorsement at about twelve thirty one o'clock today for
- 8:50Speaker 4: the big race to Senate race in Texas, and I
- 8:54Speaker 4: hope you find it good.
- 8:57Speaker 2: Now I think he's listening and watching the eminem podcast
- 8:59Speaker 2: because he wants to do it during our podcast. But
- 9:01Speaker 2: here's clear then let's get to it. Here's the timing problem.
- 9:05Speaker 2: Let's go through the timing. So we're live on YouTube
- 9:08Speaker 2: at noon Eastern eleventh Central. Then later today this conversation
- 9:13Speaker 2: gets released on the podcast platforms Spotify, Apple, so we
- 9:18Speaker 2: might know in real time now, but then again, we
- 9:21Speaker 2: may not, and that means we're speculating on YouTube. But
- 9:25Speaker 2: by the time people can get the podcasts, and by
- 9:28Speaker 2: the way, thousands of people are downloading the podcast every
- 9:31Speaker 2: day on Apple's Spotify, so thankful. So we may not.
- 9:35Speaker 2: This may not be, you know, in real time, so
- 9:38Speaker 2: just bear with us on the timing. Now. By tomorrow
- 9:41Speaker 2: we'll have it all out in the open, all right,
- 9:44Speaker 2: So Mark, let's go through the scenarios. You want me
- 9:48Speaker 2: to go further out on the ledge that I've already been, Yes, please,
- 9:54Speaker 2: I predict he's going to endorse Ken Paxton. I think
- 9:57Speaker 2: he's going to listen to the anti establishment, you know,
- 10:00Speaker 2: MAGA America First Base saying hey, Bill Cassidy's a wake
- 10:04Speaker 2: up call. Maybe Thomas Massey today in Kentucky. I'm not
- 10:08Speaker 2: as confident in this as I as I am that
- 10:10Speaker 2: I knew he would endorse one way or the other.
- 10:12Speaker 2: But my gut tells me, Ken, Paxton, what about you?
- 10:15Speaker 2: Where do you where do you think he'll mean?
- 10:17Speaker 3: That would be the natural, organic thing for him to do.
- 10:20Speaker 3: Ken has been an ally for a decade.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Right.
- 10:24Speaker 3: The argument I've made against that, I mean, it's flip
- 10:26Speaker 3: sides of the same coin. An endorsement of Paxton is
- 10:30Speaker 3: is a is a middle finger to Corn, and it's this.
- 10:33Speaker 3: If it is Paxton, he means that Trump considers Corning
- 10:37Speaker 3: to be a dead man walking, that he's looking to
- 10:39Speaker 3: relegate Corn into the Bill Cassidy realm of of of irrelevance.
- 10:45Speaker 3: And here on the day of what may say, the
- 10:48Speaker 3: same thing happens to Thomas Massey. It would be a nervy, ballsy,
- 10:53Speaker 3: gutsy thing to do, and it would be the more
- 10:55Speaker 3: naturally harmonious thing to do. An endorsement of Hornyan makes
- 11:01Speaker 3: a certain sense, because Cornyn is a sitting senator and
- 11:05Speaker 3: you don't want him as an impediment, or you have
- 11:07Speaker 3: hacked off for the remaining months of his service. But
- 11:13Speaker 3: that would then be a back of a hand to Paxton,
- 11:15Speaker 3: who's been a loyal friend for a decade. It's those
- 11:17Speaker 3: contravening factors that led me down my foolish road of
- 11:21Speaker 3: saying that he would not endure it. But if it is,
- 11:24Speaker 3: if it is Paxton, it might be game over. If
- 11:29Speaker 3: it is game over, then then Cornyn's finished. I mean,
- 11:36Speaker 3: wouldn't you think? I mean? Because here's the one thing
- 11:38Speaker 3: that keeps that from being one hundred percent true. A
- 11:41Speaker 3: lot of this is baked in. All of your establishment folks.
- 11:45Speaker 3: McConnell fans, John Thune fans, Paul Ryan, John McCain fans
- 11:50Speaker 3: are in the Cornyn camp already. The MAGA faithful to
- 11:53Speaker 3: Trump faithful are in the Paxton camp already. So much
- 11:56Speaker 3: of this is baked in. If it's a Cornin endorsement,
- 11:59Speaker 3: it's probably pretty helpful to the undecideds, of which there
- 12:03Speaker 3: are some. But if it's if those undecided see a Paxston,
- 12:08Speaker 3: a Trump endorsement of Packston, it's probably over, but it's
- 12:13Speaker 3: hard to beat incumbents, as I always say.
- 12:14Speaker 2: And what I like today, what I like is is
- 12:17Speaker 2: your your confident assurance that either one of them will
- 12:21Speaker 2: beat tall Ico and I like that. I like the yeah.
- 12:25Speaker 2: But although I'm a little nervous now because you don't even.
- 12:26Speaker 3: Think so, everything I've ever said is now in questions.
- 12:29Speaker 2: You're starting to remind me of Hugh Hewitt writing a book,
- 12:31Speaker 2: A Mormon in the White House. You know, if you,
- 12:34Speaker 2: if you, if you know what I mean. A lot
- 12:36Speaker 2: of comments incidentally on our YouTube page with a lot
- 12:39Speaker 2: of people. Uh, Terry writes, Look, early voting has already started.
- 12:44Speaker 2: I hope he makes it during. Hope he makes the
- 12:47Speaker 2: endorsement during the show. Uh, here's Benny writes. My problem
- 12:50Speaker 2: is I don't like Corny or Packston. Way, you gotta
- 12:52Speaker 2: choose because it's a lot. Either one of them is
- 12:54Speaker 2: a lot better than tall Rico.
- 12:55Speaker 3: Code named for Wesley Hunt. I don't have no idea
- 12:58Speaker 3: but you.
- 12:58Speaker 2: And by the way, I'm looking at this, you eminem
- 13:00Speaker 2: extra page here on YouTube so I can see these comments.
- 13:02Speaker 2: We have a new description. I love this description. Can
- 13:05Speaker 2: I read this real quick? A description? A description of
- 13:08Speaker 2: what the eminem Extra is all about. Two iconic talk
- 13:12Speaker 2: radio hosts, one unfiltered daily conversation, no scripts, no spin,
- 13:18Speaker 2: just Mike Gallagher and Mark Davis breaking down the news
- 13:20Speaker 2: the way it should be, with decades of experience and
- 13:23Speaker 2: zero apologies. If you love smart, unscripted talk show chemistry,
- 13:28Speaker 2: you're in the right place. Who wrote that that? Who? Eric?
- 13:32Speaker 6: Eric?
- 13:32Speaker 2: Did you write that? Who? Who put that together?
- 13:35Speaker 3: Because I remember saying I would send him something to
- 13:37Speaker 3: preload to run during the live broadcast, because I always
- 13:40Speaker 3: write something afterward to post afterward. But do you have
- 13:45Speaker 3: an answer on that? Is that Eric sor they're not.
- 13:47Speaker 2: They're just all looking at me blankly. So my guest,
- 13:52Speaker 2: my guess is that they didn't write it, So somebody
- 13:54Speaker 2: must have written it that they're not aware of. Maybe somebody.
- 13:56Speaker 3: Okay, this is really this is kind of wild. Okay,
- 13:58Speaker 3: this is wild. It's good, it's really good. Is there
- 14:04Speaker 3: an AI flavored to see?
- 14:05Speaker 2: I was going to say, it sounds it sounds to
- 14:07Speaker 2: me like chat GPT or grock. It sounds like it's a.
- 14:09Speaker 3: Which is which is kind of a which is kind
- 14:11Speaker 3: all right, that's.
- 14:12Speaker 2: All right, there's nothing wrong with that. Use the tools
- 14:15Speaker 2: that God gave us. God gave us AI, whether we
- 14:18Speaker 2: like it or not. I mean, but I wonder if
- 14:20Speaker 2: that that's got a little bit of AI in there.
- 14:22Speaker 3: And Welcome to eminem Extra, where a massive breaking news
- 14:26Speaker 3: story is subjugated to Mike and Mark obsessing over some
- 14:30Speaker 3: promotional slogan at the bottom of the YouTube channel. That's
- 14:33Speaker 3: about us. Welcome to our priorities. So what is your listen?
- 14:38Speaker 3: That's me take two slots of time. If it's Packston,
- 14:42Speaker 3: what is it? Why do you think it's Paxton? If
- 14:44Speaker 3: it's cornyin what would that? What does it mean?
- 14:47Speaker 2: I think it's Paxton because of Bill Cassidy. I think
- 14:50Speaker 2: that the fact that Bill Cassidy didn't even make it
- 14:52Speaker 2: to the runoff in Louisiana said that a voter showed
- 14:56Speaker 2: that voters just don't have an appetite for the status
- 14:58Speaker 2: quo anymore. On cornn is perceived as pro amnesty. I
- 15:02Speaker 2: don't know if that's fair or not. I know you've
- 15:04Speaker 2: talked to him about it before. I've listened to your
- 15:06Speaker 2: interviews with Senator Cornyan over the years. I think it
- 15:09Speaker 2: is fair to say that he has been on the
- 15:12Speaker 2: record as some form of amnesty or justifying a form
- 15:16Speaker 2: of giving illegals a path to citizenship. And in a
- 15:19Speaker 2: state like Texas, that's a disqualifier, I think, certainly for
- 15:24Speaker 2: President Trump. I mean, and we want to get into
- 15:26Speaker 2: the Thomas Masse thing here too in just a moment,
- 15:28Speaker 2: and I want to get your I want to pick
- 15:30Speaker 2: your brain about Thomas Massey in Kentucky. But President Trump
- 15:33Speaker 2: has no tolerance. He will give no quarter to anybody
- 15:37Speaker 2: who seems to push up against his mass deportation agenda.
- 15:41Speaker 2: No amnesty. Now, President Trump himself has and to be fair,
- 15:44Speaker 2: has floated some idea of is there a way for
- 15:47Speaker 2: the farm workers and the hotel industry employees and people
- 15:51Speaker 2: who who might be here illegally? Is there some fine
- 15:54Speaker 2: they could pay? Is there a way to give somebody
- 15:57Speaker 2: a path? But like it or not, the dnesty label
- 16:01Speaker 2: has been firmly attached to Senator John Cornyn by a
- 16:04Speaker 2: whole lot of people, and as a result, I think
- 16:07Speaker 2: Trump is getting probably some pretty solid advice go with
- 16:11Speaker 2: the anti establishment guy, go with the outsider, and ignore
- 16:15Speaker 2: those smart kids who suggest and I got to point
- 16:19Speaker 2: this out mark a lot of the so called establishment
- 16:23Speaker 2: legacy media people say Cornan beats tall Rico easily, Paxton
- 16:29Speaker 2: maybe not so much. Maybe Paxton can't beat tallar Rico.
- 16:32Speaker 3: They most certainly can. Is it possible that there's something
- 16:35Speaker 3: about the breadth of appeal of a corn In with
- 16:37Speaker 3: his track record and the divisiveness of a Paxton candidacy
- 16:41Speaker 3: that I think is overstated? But nonetheless, would it be
- 16:43Speaker 3: like corn In winning by eight and Paxton winning by five? Maybe?
- 16:47Speaker 3: But a win is a win, I think, and I
- 16:50Speaker 3: will have and I think you can help me five
- 16:53Speaker 3: months to get everybody in Texas all healed up from
- 16:56Speaker 3: whoever loses this thing a week from tonight, to get
- 16:58Speaker 3: them refocused on the enemy of my enemy is my friend,
- 17:02Speaker 3: and that nothing is worse than Senator James Tallerrico. So
- 17:05Speaker 3: it'll be time for everybody to dust themselves off, pull
- 17:07Speaker 3: their heads out, get with the program, and unite so
- 17:10Speaker 3: we can beat Tallery.
- 17:11Speaker 2: That's the key and I and that's and that that
- 17:14Speaker 2: will be Look, let's be clear here, Trump is about
- 17:17Speaker 2: to endorse apparently maybe within the hour. No matter who
- 17:21Speaker 2: he endorses, we're gonna have to coalesce. We got to
- 17:25Speaker 2: get behind whoever the Republican picked person is now. Remember
- 17:31Speaker 2: what he said on that truth social post a couple
- 17:34Speaker 2: of months ago that you've poo pooed on all over.
- 17:37Speaker 2: He said, I'm going to endorse one and I'm going
- 17:39Speaker 2: to tell the other one to drop out, right, which
- 17:42Speaker 2: was never gonna have Oh really, no, sterdamas well, it
- 17:47Speaker 2: didn't happen, and what could it happen after today?
- 17:51Speaker 3: Oh? Good lord? With seventy Okay, you want to double
- 17:53Speaker 3: down on this? Okay, here's Mike Gallagher predicting that once
- 17:56Speaker 3: the endorsement is made, Trump will call on the You
- 17:59Speaker 3: know then, I'm gonna stop talking right now because he
- 18:01Speaker 3: might just do it. It would be the trumpiest thing
- 18:03Speaker 3: in the world to say. With seven the poles are
- 18:05Speaker 3: incredibly tight. Packston has a slight lead in most of them.
- 18:09Speaker 3: But if whoever he doesn't endure, he's ah the not etiquette,
- 18:14Speaker 3: the norms that are dashed against the rocks, and I
- 18:18Speaker 3: know tis the season. Tis the season. Here is a
- 18:21Speaker 3: sitting senator in cornyin who has been absolutely a pretty
- 18:26Speaker 3: staunch ally and a good boy scout for this term
- 18:30Speaker 3: Trump two point zero. We can talk years past, and
- 18:32Speaker 3: that's where a lot of the baggage for corn comes
- 18:34Speaker 3: from but for for Trump to just give him the
- 18:37Speaker 3: back of the hand and not just endorse against him,
- 18:41Speaker 3: but call on him to get out, to abandon the
- 18:44Speaker 3: erase for the seat he currently holds. Wow, that would
- 18:47Speaker 3: be Trump on steroids.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Can I tell you? Can I tell you? What? What?
- 18:51Speaker 7: What?
- 18:51Speaker 2: I want to point out to this audience. We just
- 18:54Speaker 2: heard Mark Davis use the word etiquette norms. I don't
- 18:59Speaker 2: in the same edique. Norms and Donald Trump. They don't
- 19:02Speaker 2: go together. He could throw that out the window, and
- 19:06Speaker 2: he could say, look, I mean, but this is not
- 19:10Speaker 2: a primary against Tallerico yet, this is not a general election.
- 19:14Speaker 2: So I can see Trump telling the other one to
- 19:16Speaker 2: drop out for the for the good of beating the Democrat.
- 19:19Speaker 2: But when you think about it, logically, what sense does
- 19:23Speaker 2: it make to have asked the other one to drop out?
- 19:26Speaker 2: One of these one is going to be gone in
- 19:28Speaker 2: a week. One of them will be gone, no matter what.
- 19:30Speaker 2: So no matter what, no matter what. All right, let's
- 19:33Speaker 2: go to Kentucky. Here. Incidentally, lots of great comments here
- 19:36Speaker 2: on the YouTube, but page I love comments and text
- 19:39Speaker 2: messages and all that. Lady Gizmo said, I've listened to
- 19:42Speaker 2: you guys for over sixteen years. This is the first
- 19:46Speaker 2: time I've seen you. I love it. I finally get
- 19:48Speaker 2: to see you guys live. So thank you, and I
- 19:51Speaker 2: love this one. This is fun. Mark Davis a swing
- 19:55Speaker 2: and a miss on this one. Mike, you nailed it well,
- 19:57Speaker 2: thank you, thank you.
- 20:00Speaker 3: It's deserved.
- 20:01Speaker 2: It's deserved, all right. So let's go to Kentucky. I
- 20:05Speaker 2: am so fascinated by this Thomas Massey ed gallerying of
- 20:10Speaker 2: battle today. Let me let me play for you, Stephen Miller,
- 20:13Speaker 2: because look, he here's what's fascinating. This is a little
- 20:16Speaker 2: bit different than the Bill Cassidy situation because look, there's
- 20:21Speaker 2: not there was not a lot of passion for Bill
- 20:23Speaker 2: for Bill Cassidy from anybody from any Republican right. He
- 20:27Speaker 2: he betrayed Trump over and over again. He voted to
- 20:29Speaker 2: impeach Trump. This is a guy snake, an absolute snake.
- 20:34Speaker 2: And and now he's gonna go Tom tillis you wait.
- 20:36Speaker 3: And see the last took. And by that you mean.
- 20:39Speaker 2: He's gonna He's gonna do everything he can to thwart
- 20:42Speaker 2: Trump's agenda at every stop along the way until.
- 20:45Speaker 3: Which, by the way, is what people what people concern.
- 20:48Speaker 3: Cornyn will do if he loses. I don't know that
- 20:51Speaker 3: that happens, and we'll we'll have to see when we see.
- 20:54Speaker 2: But anyway, well, if and if he does, he's going
- 20:56Speaker 2: to show his true colors. Because Tom Tillis is showing
- 20:59Speaker 2: his true color. I think Cassidy will show his true color.
- 21:02Speaker 3: Is the real guy when you're not worrying about the
- 21:04Speaker 3: voters anymore, you see the real guy.
- 21:06Speaker 2: Bingo. And I hope John Cornyan doesn't go that route
- 21:10Speaker 2: of hum.
- 21:11Speaker 3: I don't think he would, I.
- 21:13Speaker 2: Please Lord, I hope he doesn't. But anyway, so Stephen Miller,
- 21:16Speaker 2: the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and
- 21:19Speaker 2: Homeland Security, got out his iPhone and made a little video.
- 21:22Speaker 2: He did a little two minute clip that I want
- 21:24Speaker 2: to share with you about Thomas Massey, accusing him of
- 21:29Speaker 2: really being a trader to the MAGA movement for continually
- 21:33Speaker 2: siding with Democrats against President Trump. Here's Stephen Miller.
- 21:38Speaker 6: Stephen Miller here to talk with you about a very
- 21:40Speaker 6: important subject, which is how Tom Massey betrayed America, betrayed you,
- 21:45Speaker 6: and betrayed your children. The single most important issue affecting
- 21:49Speaker 6: the future of our country is ending the mass Third
- 21:52Speaker 6: World invasion. Of America and reversing that invasion, and on
- 21:57Speaker 6: the most important issue, on the most important vote, on
- 22:00Speaker 6: the most important bill, on the most important day, Tom
- 22:04Speaker 6: Massey sided with every House Democrat, every Senate Democrat, Hakim Jeffreys,
- 22:08Speaker 6: Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer, against President Trump, against the
- 22:11Speaker 6: American people, and against you and your family. When the
- 22:15Speaker 6: time came to vote for President Trump's signature Border Security
- 22:19Speaker 6: and Immigration Enforsement Bill, the bill to provide a record
- 22:22Speaker 6: funding for ice and border patrol and mass deportation, Tom
- 22:26Speaker 6: Massey voted no.
- 22:27Speaker 5: Tom Massey voted to kill the bill.
- 22:30Speaker 7: Tom Massey sided with the House and Senate Democrats over
- 22:35Speaker 7: the sovereignty of this republic. I personally called Tom Massey
- 22:39Speaker 7: and I said, Tom, this is the most important.
- 22:42Speaker 5: Vote of your life and career.
- 22:44Speaker 7: This is the vote to reverse the invasion of America,
- 22:47Speaker 7: and we need your vote, we need your support.
- 22:49Speaker 5: And Tom Massey said, we can all pound sand.
- 22:53Speaker 7: He voted against Trump, he voted against the American people,
- 22:56Speaker 7: He voted against you. He voted to kill the most
- 22:59Speaker 7: important bill of his career. That is the real Tom Massey.
- 23:03Speaker 7: He sided with the illegals, He sided with the left
- 23:06Speaker 7: wing NGOs. He sided with the refugee industrial complex, and
- 23:10Speaker 7: he sided with the radical Democrats and crazy communists instead
- 23:14Speaker 7: of siding with you, your family, your children, and your
- 23:17Speaker 7: loved ones. That's the truth. That's what you need to hear.
- 23:20Speaker 7: That is what you need to know. When American needed him,
- 23:24Speaker 7: when you needed him, when President Trump needed him, Tom
- 23:27Speaker 7: Massey sided with the radical left and the foreign predators
- 23:32Speaker 7: and criminal aliens over the American people.
- 23:37Speaker 3: Marl marking down is undecided.
- 23:39Speaker 2: How much? How much do you like Miller? Huh?
- 23:42Speaker 3: He is here is it's a measure of Stephen Miller's value,
- 23:48Speaker 3: how hated he is, because when they come after him
- 23:51Speaker 3: with all of their arrows, all of their nuclear missiles
- 23:53Speaker 3: in the leftist media culture, that's how you know you
- 23:56Speaker 3: have an effective communicator.
- 23:57Speaker 2: Well, and and let's talk a little bit about the
- 24:00Speaker 2: passion that people do have for Tom Massey, because I
- 24:03Speaker 2: don't know if you're getting this with your audience, but
- 24:05Speaker 2: every time I bring it up, I get passionate Tom
- 24:08Speaker 2: Massey supporters. And today I was getting voters from Kentucky
- 24:11Speaker 2: saying I'm on my way to the polls to vote
- 24:13Speaker 2: for Tom Massey because he's a fiscal hawk. He's a
- 24:17Speaker 2: purist when it comes to financial things. And I'm like, well,
- 24:20Speaker 2: wait a minute, how do you explain all the people
- 24:22Speaker 2: on the far left, including you know, jenk Ungar whatever
- 24:26Speaker 2: his name is, hoping that Thomas Massey.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Wins because it'd be a black mark against Trump's endorsement record.
- 24:31Speaker 3: The reason the left suddenly likes Tom Massey is because
- 24:34Speaker 3: of Tom Massey victory would be a setback on the
- 24:38Speaker 3: Trump litany of it.
- 24:39Speaker 2: But that doesn't explain why Trump supporters are backing Massy.
- 24:43Speaker 2: Are they see? That's a good question. I had a
- 24:47Speaker 2: lady today, Debra. She's I'm on my way to the
- 24:49Speaker 2: polls to vote for Thomas Massey, and she goes, I
- 24:51Speaker 2: voted for Trump three times. Okay, every time somebody says that,
- 24:53Speaker 2: sometimes my radar goes up. I think, uh oh, are
- 24:56Speaker 2: we going to get trolled here? Sure enough, at the
- 24:59Speaker 2: end of the call, she said, and I have to say,
- 25:02Speaker 2: I'm not really on board with all the things Trump
- 25:06Speaker 2: is doing these days.
- 25:08Speaker 3: There it is, it is possible, It certainly is positive.
- 25:11Speaker 3: There's a ven diagram. I love the ven diagrams of
- 25:13Speaker 3: Trump support and Massy support. It involves the people who
- 25:16Speaker 3: voted for Trump, who are fiscal hawks, and they probably
- 25:21Speaker 3: don't think Trump likes Trump cuts spending enough, but they
- 25:24Speaker 3: love the various other long list of conservative things that
- 25:27Speaker 3: he will do and has done. But listen, there's not
- 25:30Speaker 3: a president in your lifetime or mind that is cut
- 25:33Speaker 3: spending enough. And the Rand polls and the Thomas Massey's
- 25:37Speaker 3: and the libertarians are kind of courageous in pointing out
- 25:41Speaker 3: that government spending is so out of control that nothing
- 25:44Speaker 3: else matters, that we must be focused like a laser
- 25:48Speaker 3: beam on that to the exclusion of all else. I
- 25:51Speaker 3: think that loses some pragmatism points. And that's what Stephen
- 25:54Speaker 3: Miller's pointing out. It means the Big Beautiful Bill is flawed.
- 25:57Speaker 3: It means that some of the border protections are flawed
- 26:01Speaker 3: because they involve the spending of some money that they
- 26:03Speaker 3: just don't want to spend because they don't want to
- 26:05Speaker 3: spend anything, which I understand they're not on principle wrong,
- 26:10Speaker 3: but they are laser focused, single issue people. It's a
- 26:13Speaker 3: good issue compared to the broad strokes that the Trump
- 26:17Speaker 3: agenda would like people to see.
- 26:18Speaker 2: Well, let's look at examples of what Congressman Massey has opposed.
- 26:23Speaker 2: Like you said, he voted against the Big Beautiful Bill Act,
- 26:25Speaker 2: which included tax cuts, border and immigration enforcement funding, and
- 26:30Speaker 2: a whole lot of Trump priorities. I'm I'm very concerned
- 26:33Speaker 2: for the guy who's always described as mister fiscal you know, scholar.
- 26:38Speaker 2: Here he voted against the budget and the continuing Resolution
- 26:42Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five, he was the lone Republican no
- 26:46Speaker 2: vote on the Trump backed budget resolution that paved the
- 26:50Speaker 2: way for the president's legislative agenda. And of course he
- 26:55Speaker 2: always votes against aid for Israel. And that, of course,
- 26:58Speaker 2: there's another hot data there. That's another big issue that
- 27:03Speaker 2: that I think people people make people enamored with Thomas
- 27:06Speaker 2: Massey because people who think we shouldn't be in Iran
- 27:09Speaker 2: len Israel fan for themselves.
- 27:11Speaker 3: Here here's some overlap. What a great point. I don't
- 27:13Speaker 3: for one minute think to Tom Massey has an anti
- 27:16Speaker 3: Semitic bone in his body. No, he has the purity
- 27:18Speaker 3: of just not want to spend money on hardly anything,
- 27:22Speaker 3: but in that you know, enough money for Israel, no
- 27:26Speaker 3: money for the Iran war. That will attract the Tucker
- 27:31Speaker 3: and Candace Wing and and give him a support base.
- 27:34Speaker 2: And by the way I respect. I respect that, I
- 27:37Speaker 2: respect that that purity of being able to say, look
- 27:40Speaker 2: I do. But like you say, over and over and
- 27:43Speaker 2: over again, America First, it doesn't mean America only, No,
- 27:49Speaker 2: it does. That's that's and that's a really important distinction. Hey, Mark,
- 27:53Speaker 2: have you ever heard me hit the troll song? When
- 27:54Speaker 2: I've got a troll on the show, somebody comes along
- 27:57Speaker 2: that like tries to disrupt the show and it's.
- 27:59Speaker 3: All a while, So let's let's share it.
- 28:01Speaker 2: Well, because we have a troll alert on the message
- 28:04Speaker 2: board on YouTube. Oh do captain Captain Caveman, appropriately named.
- 28:10Speaker 3: Has reached props for the handle. I like that.
- 28:12Speaker 2: Yeah, Well here's what he wrote. Why do Mike and
- 28:15Speaker 2: Mark still defend adjudicated rapist? Why do Mike and Mark
- 28:22Speaker 2: still defend an adjudicated rapist? Now, first of all, Captain Caveman,
- 28:26Speaker 2: this may be news for you. You might want to make
- 28:28Speaker 2: a quick call to an attorney because that's actually legally
- 28:31Speaker 2: actionable because the man is not an adjudicated rapist. That's
- 28:35Speaker 2: a lie. He was never he was.
- 28:39Speaker 3: To bury the lead, I don't. I don't want to
- 28:41Speaker 3: bury the lud here because you want a thing if
- 28:42Speaker 3: you want to the lead is that Captain Caveman sixty
- 28:46Speaker 3: apparently reviles everything we stand for and is nonetheless drawn
- 28:52Speaker 3: and compelled to the product.
- 28:54Speaker 2: Yeah, he's and he's and he's texting. I get that
- 28:57Speaker 2: he's watching.
- 28:58Speaker 3: I'm just watching. He chooses, I am but you and flattered.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Yeah, well I I call him out to be the
- 29:05Speaker 2: troll that he is. Hit it, Eric.
- 29:11Speaker 5: Breagell.
- 29:18Speaker 2: That's my troll alert. So Captain cave Man, crawl back
- 29:21Speaker 2: into your cave because.
- 29:23Speaker 3: As counterpoint, I want to invite the Captain cave Man
- 29:26Speaker 3: community to come joint Listen. Don't you want people who
- 29:29Speaker 3: hate us to like and subscribe? Yeah, but I don't lie.
- 29:33Speaker 3: But I don't want people to lie, and here's not
- 29:35Speaker 3: burying them. I want to see the troll definitions. To me,
- 29:39Speaker 3: I think, is someone who passes themselves off. I've voted
- 29:42Speaker 3: for Trulli and then you subsequently this guy is dead honest.
- 29:48Speaker 2: But I take great offense at this stupid, damnable lie
- 29:52Speaker 2: that Trump was adjudicated of rape, because that is technically,
- 29:56Speaker 2: that is legally, that is completely factually cross and that's
- 30:01Speaker 2: that's just something that when you if you support somebody
- 30:04Speaker 2: or even if you don't, you shouldn't be lying about
- 30:07Speaker 2: a legal outcome of a case. I mean, if you're
- 30:09Speaker 2: I guess she's talking about Egen Carroll, that nut, that
- 30:14Speaker 2: whack job, that woman who couldn't remember what year it
- 30:17Speaker 2: happened in in the dressing room of bergdarf Good. And
- 30:21Speaker 2: by the way, you know something, Mark, she ain't getting
- 30:24Speaker 2: a dime. She she's been out there dunking on with
- 30:27Speaker 2: Rachel Maddow about how she's gonna get her sixty one
- 30:29Speaker 2: hundred million or whatever stupid amount the idiot New York
- 30:32Speaker 2: jury gave her. She ain't getting any of that. That's
- 30:35Speaker 2: all tied up in appeals. That is, that is excessive. Uh,
- 30:39Speaker 2: and the facts of her case are so suspect it
- 30:43Speaker 2: defies any kind of logic. But it's but it's what
- 30:45Speaker 2: the Captain Caveman's of the world clington because they want
- 30:49Speaker 2: to say, ooh, Trump's a rapist. And then and next,
- 30:53Speaker 2: I'm sure Captain Caveman's next clever comeback is gonna be
- 30:56Speaker 2: he's a pedophile, right, he was raping kids on on
- 31:00Speaker 2: Epstein Isle now.
- 31:01Speaker 3: And now you're giving them even more of what they want.
- 31:03Speaker 3: Being made famous on the YouTube stream. So I don't
- 31:06Speaker 3: mind that I don't like calling we will love us.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Hey.
- 31:09Speaker 3: That excited, right, But just like.
- 31:12Speaker 2: Just for the record, listen, I'm not kidding you, Captain
- 31:14Speaker 2: k Man. Be careful because you could get sued for
- 31:17Speaker 2: calling somebody an adjudicated rapist when in fact they were not.
- 31:21Speaker 2: I mean it was supposed to I found it, never rape.
- 31:24Speaker 3: I found. So as we await this and the timing
- 31:27Speaker 3: is not going to be our friend, it looks like
- 31:28Speaker 3: we're going to probably come to an end here without
- 31:34Speaker 3: knowing what the endorsement is. Uh. Here's another additional quote though,
- 31:38Speaker 3: from Trump on this coming endorsement quote. There are those
- 31:43Speaker 3: who say whoever I endorse is going to win. I
- 31:46Speaker 3: don't know if that's true. Historically it's absolutely true. I
- 31:51Speaker 3: just don't like to say it because I don't like
- 31:53Speaker 3: to brag. I've had my mind made up for a
- 31:56Speaker 3: long time. I just think it's going to be appropriate.
- 32:00Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen. I want to again share with you
- 32:02Speaker 2: that Mark Davis just quoted President Trump is saying, I
- 32:05Speaker 2: don't like to brag.
- 32:06Speaker 3: Exact, and the I would like to draw attention to myself.
- 32:13Speaker 2: The Pope does not like to get on the knees,
- 32:15Speaker 2: his knees at night before he goes to bed, and
- 32:16Speaker 2: a bear doesn't know what in the woods because the
- 32:20Speaker 2: man goal lee. What a time to be alive and
- 32:23Speaker 2: what a time to just kind of absorb all of
- 32:25Speaker 2: this stuff. Mark, I mean, it's fascinating to watch. I
- 32:29Speaker 2: keep saying this. I like our chances over and over again,
- 32:32Speaker 2: and I think about the goodness of this audience and
- 32:35Speaker 2: what people are capable of doing. We're doing the springtime
- 32:39Speaker 2: Prison Fellowship campaign to send kids to summer camp for
- 32:41Speaker 2: a week. Do you know how many kids we've already
- 32:45Speaker 2: gotten sponsored in a week? Try like three hundred and ten.
- 32:48Speaker 2: Like it costs two hundred dollars to sponsor a child.
- 32:52Speaker 2: Sixty thousand dollars come flowing into the And it's a
- 32:55Speaker 2: beautiful ministry. It's Prison Fellowship. You and I've worked together
- 32:58Speaker 2: over the years with this great grew so Food for
- 33:01Speaker 2: the Poor and all these great groups we get to
- 33:03Speaker 2: work with and a few times a year, so with
- 33:05Speaker 2: this maybe new audience here for the M and M extra.
- 33:07Speaker 2: If you go to mic online dot com, you'll see
- 33:09Speaker 2: a banner there. It's a It's a ministry that a
- 33:13Speaker 2: child of a prisoner, a son or daughter of somebody
- 33:16Speaker 2: in prison, gets sent to a Christ centered camp, a
- 33:19Speaker 2: summer camp for a full week. It's two hundred dollars
- 33:22Speaker 2: to sponsor a child. Already, Team Gallagher has generated enough
- 33:25Speaker 2: to send over three hundred kids. Our goal is six fifty,
- 33:28Speaker 2: but we're almost halfway there, and we've got two more
- 33:30Speaker 2: weeks left in the camp. Two and a half weeks
- 33:32Speaker 2: left in the campaign. So thank you for blessing.
- 33:34Speaker 3: These I like your chances.
- 33:35Speaker 2: I like our chances. And look, this is and this
- 33:38Speaker 2: is a rare day where you've been dead wrong about
- 33:40Speaker 2: something like.
- 33:42Speaker 3: It happens more often than I'd like to know. But
- 33:44Speaker 3: on on Tomorrow's on tomorrow's eminem live stream at eleven
- 33:48Speaker 3: Central noon Easter and we react to what to what
- 33:50Speaker 3: happened to MASSI did l Gran beat him or not?
- 33:54Speaker 3: Will we'll be able to react for reels to whom
