- 0:43Speaker 3: How many hours hours and hours before I leapers? Oh gosh. Well,
- 0:50Speaker 3: and like the little notice secret, we're loving the podcast
- 0:54Speaker 3: almost as much as our daily shows, all the talk
- 0:57Speaker 3: shows now my second favorite part of the We're having
- 1:01Speaker 3: so much fun. And we had a big day yesterday
- 1:03Speaker 3: a lot of people on our YouTube channel Live. What's
- 1:07Speaker 3: our goal now is to get over four thousand subscribers.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Actually, where we are one hundred and twenty or so
- 1:13Speaker 2: people shye, so obviously if you're watching now, you're probably
- 1:15Speaker 2: already subscribing. But if you're just kind of hovering, make
- 1:19Speaker 2: the full commitment. Don't be commitment phobic. It doesn't cost
- 1:22Speaker 2: you a dime. Well, wait a minute, subscribe to it. Yeah,
- 1:25Speaker 2: wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. You
- 1:26Speaker 2: you could be watching now and you're not subscribed. You
- 1:28Speaker 2: don't have to subscribe to watch. So look, if we
- 1:31Speaker 2: got we want something, we want subscriptions. I mean watching
- 1:34Speaker 2: as lovely watching is is a wimpy, half hearted, rhino
- 1:40Speaker 2: way to consume the show. If you're like the grassroots way,
- 1:44Speaker 2: the Trump or slash Reagan way, is to subscribe and
- 1:47Speaker 2: make the full commitment.
- 1:48Speaker 3: Don't be John fun. Don't be John Fun, be Ronald
- 1:52Speaker 3: Reagan or Donald Brandon Gill be exactly. Yeah, be a warrior,
- 1:56Speaker 3: Jim Jordan, be a be a warrior and subscrib So
- 2:00Speaker 3: right now our challenge, are we really only like one
- 2:03Speaker 3: hundred away from getting to four thousand? Yeah? Well that
- 2:06Speaker 3: means because we had more like a couple of hundred yesterday
- 2:09Speaker 3: live on YouTube.
- 2:10Speaker 2: So come on, if you're probably they're probably already subscribing.
- 2:14Speaker 3: Why do you keep saying that they're not.
- 2:16Speaker 2: They probably are I mean, no, what?
- 2:18Speaker 3: Why not?
- 2:19Speaker 4: No?
- 2:19Speaker 3: That you don't have to subscribe to watch something on YouTube.
- 2:22Speaker 2: I understand that, but I'm thinking that the people, especially
- 2:24Speaker 2: especially from the viewers, and especially the folks who are
- 2:27Speaker 2: throwing that commentary on the right hand margin, that you
- 2:30Speaker 2: which are a lot obsessed with every day. I love it.
- 2:32Speaker 2: I can scarcely see it. I'm old and blind as
- 2:35Speaker 2: I know. Can I get yours in front of me?
- 2:37Speaker 3: I get so distracted by text messages and comments and
- 2:40Speaker 3: live chat. I love watching because I love it though.
- 2:43Speaker 3: It's like an instant focus group. Mark it's you're getting
- 2:46Speaker 3: the course. Every talk show host in America ought to
- 2:49Speaker 3: have a text line, and you and I it's a great,
- 2:53Speaker 3: great way. So please please subscribe. Let's get it over
- 2:56Speaker 3: four thousand. Before you know it, we'll be at five
- 2:58Speaker 3: ten twenty. Who knows, sky's the limit?
- 3:03Speaker 2: Yes, it is all right.
- 3:04Speaker 3: Let's let's start with patriotism and disagreement because I am
- 3:08Speaker 3: and I know this is a topic right in your wheelhouse.
- 3:11Speaker 3: You and I have had many debates over the years
- 3:13Speaker 3: about Tucker Carlson. You and I have had many debates
- 3:16Speaker 3: about some of these influencers. The Megan Kelly's Alex Jones,
- 3:19Speaker 3: whoever it is. And I did something that I want
- 3:24Speaker 3: to on my show today that I want to expand
- 3:26Speaker 3: upon here on the podcast, on the pod, as they
- 3:29Speaker 3: say here on the pod, I want to expand on
- 3:32Speaker 3: a theme. We got so many naysayers about this Iran
- 3:37Speaker 3: peace deal right now coming from our side. We talked
- 3:40Speaker 3: about Andy McCarthy in National Review yesterday. Oh Trump thinks
- 3:44Speaker 3: we're all idiots. All he's Neville Trump. Yeah, he all
- 3:48Speaker 3: thinks we're all imbeciles. And there's a lot of Eric
- 3:52Speaker 3: Erickson out of Atlanta. A terrible deal. We've lost to Iran.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Iran beat us, Aron beat us what and we don't
- 4:01Speaker 3: even know the terms yet. So here's my theory. And
- 4:03Speaker 3: I'm going to pose this question to you. If you're
- 4:06Speaker 3: basically picking apart the Iranian peace deal by criticizing and
- 4:12Speaker 3: tearing apart Trump and all of that, aren't you essentially
- 4:17Speaker 3: rooting for America to fail? Aren't you not supporting America?
- 4:21Speaker 3: We elected this guy twice, We voted for him three times.
- 4:25Speaker 3: The same people who love the sealed border, the same
- 4:29Speaker 3: people who appreciated the Abraham Accords, the same people who
- 4:33Speaker 3: know that this guy knows what he's doing. Now, they're
- 4:36Speaker 3: getting weak need And if he's our elected representative, if
- 4:41Speaker 3: he's the commander in chief, if he's the guy we
- 4:43Speaker 3: trust to get make sure Iran doesn't have a nuke
- 4:47Speaker 3: and get the straight of hord Moves opened up again,
- 4:49Speaker 3: and get prices down in America. If you're bailing on
- 4:53Speaker 3: him now, doesn't that suggest mark that you're not sufficiently
- 4:58Speaker 3: supporting the United States of America.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Yes, you are correct, And again this requires maybe just
- 5:06Speaker 2: a little bit of nuance, but not much, because there
- 5:08Speaker 2: are those for whom and this is just one of
- 5:10Speaker 2: my favorite themes from you, and you've given me quite
- 5:13Speaker 2: the masterclass on this. There's some folks for whom handing
- 5:17Speaker 2: a success to Trump is such kryptonide that they will
- 5:21Speaker 2: change their own personal views on things then becomes anti
- 5:25Speaker 2: save act. I think because of Trump hatred. There are
- 5:27Speaker 2: people who, as a right in the wheel, ask what
- 5:29Speaker 2: you're talking about, the people who didn't really want us
- 5:34Speaker 2: to do much of anything. It's America first, it's not
- 5:37Speaker 2: in our total interest to be spending all this money
- 5:40Speaker 2: in thirteen lives, and we shouldn't have done this. Those
- 5:43Speaker 2: should be the exact people who are thrilled right now
- 5:47Speaker 2: that there might be an exit ramp, and they curiously
- 5:50Speaker 2: are not.
- 5:51Speaker 3: So.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Yes, I think there's some other nefarious motivation. And as
- 5:55Speaker 2: with all other things in life, it's about what people
- 5:58Speaker 2: think of Trump. Side of the coin is because we
- 6:02Speaker 2: support him, love him, or you know, glad he's president
- 6:04Speaker 2: every day, that doesn't mean that we are shills and
- 6:07Speaker 2: unquestioning cheerleaders for it. I took a look at these
- 6:10Speaker 2: fourteen points, some of which may be incomplete, some of
- 6:13Speaker 2: which may be not totally accurate leaks, but it's kind
- 6:16Speaker 2: of a framework, and I said, okay, well, we'll have
- 6:18Speaker 2: to bone up on that, or we'll have to be
- 6:20Speaker 2: really careful about that. I'm not an apologist or a
- 6:23Speaker 2: shill for this, but I'm absolutely willing to let it marinate,
- 6:28Speaker 2: let let let let the kam come to me. As
- 6:30Speaker 2: I always say, see what it is before I love
- 6:33Speaker 2: it or condemn it. I mean, that's just logic.
- 6:36Speaker 3: Now, I'm a little uncomfortable with my narrative or what
- 6:40Speaker 3: my thesis, but my thesis is this, when I see
- 6:44Speaker 3: fellow Trump supporters kind of bailing on him and saying such,
- 6:49Speaker 3: you know, really nasty things, It makes me wonder about
- 6:54Speaker 3: if there's not a hidden agenda, if there's not a resentment,
- 6:58Speaker 3: if there's a if there's some sort of Because look,
- 7:00Speaker 3: we supported him on the border. What are you gonna
- 7:02Speaker 3: second guess how we sealed the border? Are you now
- 7:05Speaker 3: going to second guess how uh the the the Israel
- 7:10Speaker 3: Israeli Embassy was moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem? Are
- 7:13Speaker 3: you gonna second guest the Abraham and I'm not and Mark,
- 7:17Speaker 3: don't get me wrong. We don't agree with everything. You
- 7:20Speaker 3: and I don't agree on everything. I'll take an example.
- 7:23Speaker 3: I kind of hated him slapping his name on the
- 7:26Speaker 3: Kennedy Center. I thought it was a waste of time.
- 7:31Speaker 3: It was just a troll. It was just trying to
- 7:33Speaker 3: tick off his opponents. You're wrong, I just don't. I
- 7:37Speaker 3: just hated it. And along comes a judge. Now they
- 7:39Speaker 3: had to take the name down. Poor principul Jim Acosta's
- 7:42Speaker 3: out there doing a live stream like a like around
- 7:45Speaker 3: the Clock camp. You know.
- 7:47Speaker 2: He equated it to Jim Acosta equated the removal of
- 7:50Speaker 2: Trump's name from the Kennedy Center. He said, this is
- 7:53Speaker 2: just like I forget the fall of the Berlin.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Oh, the Berlin Wall. Yeah, yeah, the Berlin Wall taking
- 8:00Speaker 3: the Trump name off the Kennedy Center. But poor Jim Acosta.
- 8:03Speaker 3: You remember the story about Seb Gorka and Jim Acosta
- 8:06Speaker 3: and me at the White House press briefing room.
- 8:08Speaker 2: You weren't there where Gorka booms out with Acosta's real.
- 8:13Speaker 3: Name, Acosta. I love that, by the way, thank you
- 8:19Speaker 3: know why I get obsessed with the live chat. The
- 8:21Speaker 3: live chat just pointed out that you made the first
- 8:24Speaker 3: error of the day. You said it's too and you
- 8:25Speaker 3: said it's Wednesday, June sixteenth. It's June seventeenth.
- 8:29Speaker 2: I said it was July yesterday. I'm I can tell
- 8:33Speaker 2: you all twelve guys who walked on the moon in order,
- 8:36Speaker 2: but I can't find my shoes and I don't know
- 8:38Speaker 2: what day it.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Is or what time it is. Well, it is June.
- 8:42Speaker 3: I think it's Joyce June seventeenth. So that made the chatters.
- 8:47Speaker 3: In fact, Michael just said, wait a minute, is it
- 8:49Speaker 3: the wrong day? Do is this yesterday? No? No, no, no no,
- 8:51Speaker 3: So this is just me keeping this on the rail,
- 8:54Speaker 3: please please. So so Alex already on the live chat,
- 9:00Speaker 3: knows the Gorka story. So, a number of years ago,
- 9:04Speaker 3: we were invited to the White House to meet with
- 9:05Speaker 3: President Trump in the Oval Office, a handful of talk
- 9:09Speaker 3: show hosts and I accompanied. This was before Seb Gorka
- 9:12Speaker 3: entered government life or re entered government life, and he
- 9:15Speaker 3: was a talk show host, a colleague here at Salem.
- 9:18Speaker 3: Sab and I are in the White House briefing room waiting.
- 9:21Speaker 3: That was like the staging area, waiting to be brought
- 9:23Speaker 3: into the Oval Office. So Sab and I and a
- 9:27Speaker 3: couple of others, you know, we're shooting the bull and
- 9:30Speaker 3: we're just waiting. And incidentally, the White House print press
- 9:33Speaker 3: briefing room is a dump. It is a gross cramped
- 9:38Speaker 3: It looks so good on camera. You know, they got
- 9:40Speaker 3: that beautiful background in the grill. They put all that
- 9:43Speaker 3: lipstick is on the pig because it's gross. It's a
- 9:46Speaker 3: it's an and it was. Wasn't it built over the
- 9:49Speaker 3: swimming pool?
- 9:50Speaker 2: Yes, the pool, the pool built during Nixon became the
- 9:52Speaker 2: briefing room.
- 9:53Speaker 3: Leader got it, so they built it over the what
- 9:55Speaker 3: was the White House swimming pool. Anyway, we're standing in
- 9:58Speaker 3: the White House Press briefing long comes Jim Acosta, and
- 10:02Speaker 3: he looks over and sees us standing there, and he
- 10:04Speaker 3: gives us if look, you know, the old if looks
- 10:06Speaker 3: could kill right, And he's shooting daggers into Gorka and
- 10:10Speaker 3: he slithers by and he says out loud, this room
- 10:15Speaker 3: should be reserved for journalists only, and he keeps and
- 10:19Speaker 3: he keeps walking. Well, Gorka being Gorka's.
- 10:22Speaker 2: At that point, Gorka's doing a show for us right
- 10:25Speaker 2: right government. He's part of our Salem family. We had
- 10:28Speaker 2: the best time. He did an afternoon show people absolutely
- 10:31Speaker 2: and I think it was called America First with Seb Gorka. Yeah,
- 10:34Speaker 2: of course it's going to be. And doctor Gorka would
- 10:36Speaker 2: hold court every day with that magnificent delivery.
- 10:40Speaker 3: So proceed, And incidentally, here I go again with the
- 10:43Speaker 3: rabbit hole and the damn live chat. Apparently it wasn't you.
- 10:47Speaker 3: It says it on the YouTube channel June sixteenth. So
- 10:50Speaker 3: that's a Yasmin Eric thing. I guess that's the problem.
- 10:55Speaker 3: So we got to fix that. So I stand absolved,
- 10:58Speaker 3: You're free and clear, and I throw Yasmin and Eric
- 11:01Speaker 3: under the book will be me. There will be errors,
- 11:04Speaker 3: and I will.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Be here to make them, but today it is not
- 11:07Speaker 2: decidedly not me, but continues seb Gorka being uh.
- 11:12Speaker 3: So, after j Acosta gets this little pot shot in
- 11:15Speaker 3: and he keeps walking coward that he is a little
- 11:17Speaker 3: little weasel, little worm that he is. He said that
- 11:21Speaker 3: and kept walking. Well, gork wasn't gonna let that go.
- 11:24Speaker 3: And he says, in a loud, booming voice, what does
- 11:27Speaker 3: that you say? What did you say to us? Acosta?
- 11:32Speaker 3: Come back here? A billio? A billio? What is wrong
- 11:36Speaker 3: with you? A billio? Now I'm thinking gork is having
- 11:39Speaker 3: a stroke.
- 11:40Speaker 2: What is a bilio?
- 11:42Speaker 3: Yeah? Some kind of are you talking? Are you speaking
- 11:45Speaker 3: in tongues? What does this mean? All of a sudden,
- 11:47Speaker 3: a billio A billio? And and Acosta looks mortified. He
- 11:52Speaker 3: looks back nervously. The colored drains from his face, and
- 11:56Speaker 3: now he practically sprints out of the room to get
- 11:59Speaker 3: away from and he goes, you cowered a billio? A
- 12:03Speaker 3: b Well, I said to Gorka, what is a billio?
- 12:06Speaker 3: He goes, that's his real name. His real name is
- 12:08Speaker 3: a billio. Acosta and Gorka, incidentally, I left out the
- 12:12Speaker 3: best part. He's shouting at Acosta, what are you so
- 12:16Speaker 3: ashamed of your name that you must drop your name, Jim,
- 12:20Speaker 3: you had to americanizer at Acosta. It just is the
- 12:24Speaker 3: funniest real anyhow that So now Acosta is on it?
- 12:27Speaker 3: What is he? Is he now one of us? Is
- 12:28Speaker 3: he a podcaster? Does he doing independent media?
- 12:33Speaker 2: That would imply that I cared? But I think you're
- 12:35Speaker 2: no kidding, no kidding.
- 12:36Speaker 3: So it's pathetic and and and and speaking of pathetic,
- 12:40Speaker 3: I saw a report right before we started the show today,
- 12:43Speaker 3: CNN is just stunned, and town Hall posted this out
- 12:47Speaker 3: town hall dot com. And we're gonna be hearing a
- 12:49Speaker 3: lot from our town Hall colleagues in the days and
- 12:51Speaker 3: weeks and months to come. We're gonna start getting more
- 12:54Speaker 3: into the we're calling it the Salem ecosystem, where you
- 12:57Speaker 3: know town Hall guests, hot folks at hot air. You
- 13:01Speaker 3: know they're going to be with us. We're going to
- 13:03Speaker 3: be with them. We have a big, big media media
- 13:06Speaker 3: platform here. So town Hall writes on x CNN stunned
- 13:11Speaker 3: as a bombshell poll reveals the Democrats hate America. Now,
- 13:17Speaker 3: you and I this morning talked about the poll about
- 13:20Speaker 3: whether Republicans or Democrats really are proud of to be
- 13:23Speaker 3: an American. Incidentally, I don't know where you got nineteen from.
- 13:26Speaker 3: You were right the first time it was twenty nine percent,
- 13:29Speaker 3: So I don't. Okay, you must have saw it, seen
- 13:31Speaker 3: it somewhere else, because I've we we we crosscheck.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Reference the other way around. Didn't I give them too
- 13:36Speaker 2: much credit? And I said twenty nine.
- 13:38Speaker 3: No, you first said twenty nine, and I thought it
- 13:40Speaker 3: was nineteen and then you then you but I wasn't.
- 13:43Speaker 3: It's twenty nine. I don't know where you go from
- 13:45Speaker 3: one day. Tell me about it.
- 13:47Speaker 2: This is like hard math, math dates. It's hard.
- 13:51Speaker 3: This is like here we go again, the Artemis again,
- 13:54Speaker 3: where the launch of the Artem is not going well so,
- 13:56Speaker 3: but it's ninety and twenty nine. Only twenty nine percent
- 13:59Speaker 3: of Democrats are extremely proud to be an American, compared
- 14:02Speaker 3: to ninety percent of Republicans. Now, the NBC poll goes
- 14:05Speaker 3: even deeper. Only twenty seven percent of Democrats will even
- 14:10Speaker 3: fly the American flag on July fourth, compared to sixty
- 14:16Speaker 3: four percent of Republicans. Only twenty four percent of Democrats
- 14:21Speaker 3: want to celebrate America as a priority on the fourth
- 14:25Speaker 3: of July compared to sixty five percent of Republicans mark,
- 14:31Speaker 3: we are not the same We're and town Hall is right.
- 14:36Speaker 3: I mean, isn't it fair they hate America, they don't
- 14:39Speaker 3: like this country. They the theories abound. A lot of
- 14:44Speaker 3: it is Trump related. Of course, as d Niro said,
- 14:47Speaker 3: sometimes they say it out loud. It's like being in
- 14:49Speaker 3: a relationship with an abusive spouse. He said, this demand
- 14:53Speaker 3: that we love America while Trump is president. That's just sick.
- 14:56Speaker 2: And the other part is, even when Obama and Biden
- 14:58Speaker 2: were president, you'd still find the lagging patriotism because these
- 15:02Speaker 2: folks have been told and have taught, and have immersed
- 15:05Speaker 2: themselves in the logic for logic, in the myth that
- 15:08Speaker 2: America is a racist hell hole, that our founders were
- 15:11Speaker 2: terrible people, that the Constitution is a flawed dicuma, that
- 15:14Speaker 2: our history is not particularly honorable. So listen, if you
- 15:17Speaker 2: got that banging around in your head, you're not gonna
- 15:19Speaker 2: love America very much.
- 15:20Speaker 3: Well, period. And JD Vance, who I think has I
- 15:23Speaker 3: think I saw him last night on the Home Shopping Network.
- 15:27Speaker 3: He is now I've never seen anything like it, So
- 15:30Speaker 3: I'm renovating a house on HGTV. He's just kind of
- 15:33Speaker 3: big sledgehammers, and yeah, he's with the he's with the Robertsons,
- 15:37Speaker 3: he's on Duck Dynasty, he's doing he's now doing I've
- 15:39Speaker 3: never I mean this guy. There's a book tour and
- 15:42Speaker 3: then there's a book tour. He is. He did the
- 15:45Speaker 3: View yesterday. He's all over CNN, ABC, every single network,
- 15:51Speaker 3: and he sat down with Greg Guttfeld last night. I
- 15:53Speaker 3: think of all the interviews that I've seen clips of
- 15:55Speaker 3: or seen live, I enjoyed his visit with Greg Guttfeld
- 15:58Speaker 3: the most. And he reacted to this shocking, stunning, bombshell
- 16:04Speaker 3: poll that reveals how much Democrats really loathe the United States.
- 16:08Speaker 3: Here's what Vice President Vance said about this NBC poll.
- 16:12Speaker 5: Greg, it doesn't bother me when congressional Democrats disagree with
- 16:16Speaker 5: our policies. It bothers me like that they're just terrible people,
- 16:20Speaker 5: so many of them. But what really does bother me
- 16:23Speaker 5: is that they don't show gratitude for the United States
- 16:26Speaker 5: of America. Disagree with our policies, But if you don't
- 16:30Speaker 5: feel grateful to live here and for the people who
- 16:32Speaker 5: made it possible, then what are you even doing being
- 16:34Speaker 5: in public service? Too many Democrats don't show appreciation for
- 16:38Speaker 5: the country.
- 16:39Speaker 3: Wow, I mean that area there you are, I mean,
- 16:42Speaker 3: and he's right. If you really don't like this country,
- 16:47Speaker 3: why would you want to serve? Why would now, I
- 16:49Speaker 3: guess you could argue, well, you want to change it,
- 16:51Speaker 3: right exactly.
- 16:53Speaker 2: You You answered your own question right there. And this
- 16:55Speaker 2: is why I've talked to Democrats about this, and I've
- 16:59Speaker 2: come to the conclusion that w Republicans and this is
- 17:01Speaker 2: this is broad it's broad brushed in there, you know,
- 17:03Speaker 2: and it's not everybody, don't overgeneralize, but that conservatives love
- 17:07Speaker 2: America for what it is, for our actual history, our
- 17:10Speaker 2: actual founding, our actual legacies, our actual constitution. If you
- 17:14Speaker 2: find a liberal who says I too went patriotic, they're
- 17:17Speaker 2: thinking and dreaming about what they want to turn us into.
- 17:20Speaker 2: What kind of woke mind, virus laden land that they envision.
- 17:26Speaker 2: Remember what did Barack Obama say? The great thing about
- 17:29Speaker 2: America is America can change, fundamental change. If you if
- 17:34Speaker 2: you love, you're not trying to fundamentally change something you love.
- 17:37Speaker 3: You know so well fundamental transformation. He wanted to fundamentally transform.
- 17:43Speaker 3: He tried, and and now Trump is undone just about everything.
- 17:47Speaker 3: He tried to do, and that's why they hate.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Him so much. Thank you God.
- 17:50Speaker 3: Absolutely, Now let's stick with this idea of Amen, Amen,
- 17:55Speaker 3: let's talk. Let's stick to the idea of disagreement among
- 17:57Speaker 3: our ranks. Because again, you old your eyes when I said,
- 18:01Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson, and I get it.
- 18:02Speaker 2: I get it. It's involuntary.
- 18:04Speaker 3: Now, no, it's like a tick, it's like a twitch. Well,
- 18:09Speaker 3: but it's true. There are people who are pushing back
- 18:12Speaker 3: against the Iran deal. And even you know, again, we
- 18:15Speaker 3: mentioned any McCarthy. I talked about our pal, my pal.
- 18:19Speaker 3: You don't know her, but she's wonderful. Tara Servacius, who's
- 18:22Speaker 3: the morning host in South Carolina, and she doesn't she's
- 18:25Speaker 3: no fan of this deal. So far, we got people
- 18:28Speaker 3: who are absolutely lining up to on our side to
- 18:32Speaker 3: criticize the Iranian peace deal before it's even formally revealed.
- 18:36Speaker 3: That's the part that slays me.
- 18:39Speaker 2: Kids they're going to be the smart kids, they say,
- 18:41Speaker 2: you know.
- 18:42Speaker 3: Right, But but but on the other hand, I want
- 18:45Speaker 3: to be fair here and say there's nothing wrong with disagreeing.
- 18:48Speaker 3: I mean, we can we can find fault. Look, if
- 18:51Speaker 3: I didn't love Trump slapping his name on the on
- 18:53Speaker 3: the Kennedy Center. There are plenty of people who disagree
- 18:56Speaker 3: with that and say, you're glad he did, and you
- 18:57Speaker 3: wanted him to and you insisted on it. So let's
- 19:00Speaker 3: sticking with JD. Vance's you know, wonderful media tour the
- 19:05Speaker 3: round the clock, all JD, all the time, which incidentally
- 19:09Speaker 3: is going to benefit him greatly for and I mean
- 19:11Speaker 3: this for his presidential chances in twenty twenty eight, because
- 19:14Speaker 3: people are seeing how good he is.
- 19:17Speaker 2: He was I'll flat tell you are you're going to
- 19:19Speaker 2: get one more JD clip.
- 19:20Speaker 3: And because I want to play the clip about Megan, Kelly, Tucker, Carlson,
- 19:23Speaker 3: all of that.
- 19:24Speaker 2: As you do, as you do, think about this as
- 19:26Speaker 2: everybody's watching it and listening to it. I posited that
- 19:31Speaker 2: after what was sort of the Month of Rubio, where
- 19:34Speaker 2: because Rubio, all Rubio did every day was something at
- 19:38Speaker 2: some other home run, some other magnificent pronouncement, and it
- 19:41Speaker 2: wasn't just on State Department stuff because Rubio is great,
- 19:44Speaker 2: he just is. It had a lot of people saying,
- 19:46Speaker 2: you know, what, I may be done here. JD's fine,
- 19:49Speaker 2: little pat on ahead, but I think Rubio is my guy.
- 19:52Speaker 2: And there's some people who believe that still. But if
- 19:54Speaker 2: anybody was thinking that this was largely over, JD. Vance
- 19:58Speaker 2: has a natural e and humor and goodwill and grace
- 20:02Speaker 2: to him that I cannot win. What Rubio's got to do,
- 20:05Speaker 2: what we got to get with little Marco to do. Say,
- 20:08Speaker 2: don't call it that stop is stop this nonsense where
- 20:13Speaker 2: you said that if my friend JD. Vance runs, I
- 20:16Speaker 2: will not stop it, stop it, stop it. America deserves
- 20:19Speaker 2: I want that choice. I don't even know how it
- 20:21Speaker 2: would go, but I'd hate to be denied. And we
- 20:24Speaker 2: might have in the primary stage. In the primary stage,
- 20:27Speaker 2: which is usually a bloodbath, wouldn't be cool to see
- 20:29Speaker 2: Marco and JD run against each other and not savage
- 20:33Speaker 2: each other.
- 20:33Speaker 3: So well Marco, but Marco may not give us that choice.
- 20:38Speaker 3: Marco Rubio may not offer that choice to the American people.
- 20:41Speaker 3: He may stick to this and guess what can they
- 20:44Speaker 3: stop a JD Vance Marco Rubio ticket. Are they going
- 20:47Speaker 3: to stop? Who's going to be? I mean that would
- 20:50Speaker 3: be he's not gonna run in the primaries. Doesn't mean
- 20:53Speaker 3: that he wouldn't serve as JD's running mate. I mean
- 20:55Speaker 3: from the front of the outset from the get count.
- 20:57Speaker 3: You know, he may just very well. They may have
- 20:59Speaker 3: a ticket way packaged and ready to go, and I
- 21:02Speaker 3: want to see Kamala beat that that ticket, all right,
- 21:06Speaker 3: Organ or Pete Buddha, Jedge or AOC junior. Senator John
- 21:11Speaker 3: Kennedy might throw his hat in the ring.
- 21:13Speaker 2: I did it, and it's funny. At first, I thought
- 21:14Speaker 2: how old is he? But then I thought, wait a minute,
- 21:16Speaker 2: Trump is eighty. I think Senator Kennedy is seventy four.
- 21:21Speaker 3: I don't know what is that? How old is I
- 21:23Speaker 3: didn't know?
- 21:25Speaker 2: Hey, first time, first time on the podcast, Ready, Alexa,
- 21:29Speaker 2: how old is Senator John Kennedy?
- 21:34Speaker 3: Senator John Kennedy is seventy.
- 21:36Speaker 5: Four years old.
- 21:37Speaker 3: You're right there, you yeah, But here's what you just did.
- 21:39Speaker 3: You just ignited. You triggered five thousand all over America. Stop.
- 21:45Speaker 3: You can't do that, all right, So here's sticking with
- 21:48Speaker 3: this idea of disagreement. All right, So we got maybe
- 21:50Speaker 3: the disagreement about jd Vance. Mark Rubio. I loved what
- 21:54Speaker 3: the Vice President said to Megan Kelly yesterday because Megan
- 21:58Speaker 3: said to jd Vance, you know, look, there are people
- 22:02Speaker 3: want to throw us out of the movement if we
- 22:05Speaker 3: disagree with President Trump, and she brought that to jd Vance.
- 22:09Speaker 3: I loved what he had to say.
- 22:12Speaker 6: A lot of people have been saying that they feel
- 22:13Speaker 6: blackpailed by the whole experience. You know, like I'm just out,
- 22:16Speaker 6: and I have been trying to make the point that
- 22:18Speaker 6: you can't do that right. You got to stay stat
- 22:21Speaker 6: right but realistically as we because after these midterms are over, let.
- 22:24Speaker 5: Me sorry import about this mag This is like very important.
- 22:27Speaker 5: I'm starting in rupt but so look, the coalition made
- 22:30Speaker 5: Donald Trump the President of United States and jd Vance
- 22:33Speaker 5: the Vice President of the United States. People have to
- 22:35Speaker 5: remember this. It was Meghan Kelly and Tucker Carlson and
- 22:39Speaker 5: Joe Rogan. It was also Mark Levin. It was also
- 22:43Speaker 5: a lot of people like John Potterwitz who want a
- 22:46Speaker 5: more aggressive foreign policy.
- 22:47Speaker 2: What I think is important.
- 22:48Speaker 5: I'm never going to say that John Potterwitz is not
- 22:51Speaker 5: welcome in the Republican Party.
- 22:53Speaker 3: He is. But just as he's disappointed.
- 22:55Speaker 5: Right now, sometimes other people are going to be disappointed
- 22:58Speaker 5: at other times. You can't just quit politics because the
- 23:03Speaker 5: leader of a country of three hundred and thirty million
- 23:05Speaker 5: people makes the decision you disagree with.
- 23:08Speaker 3: I love that Marga, and he's right, so good, so good,
- 23:11Speaker 3: and we can't kick people out of the America first
- 23:15Speaker 3: Maga movement. If people are understandably concerned of cynicism about
- 23:21Speaker 3: the deal disagreement, maybe they disagree with the deal. Again,
- 23:24Speaker 3: I don't know why you're not continuing to support this president,
- 23:28Speaker 3: but hey, so be it, you know, so be it.
- 23:30Speaker 2: But I think I think you do know this. You
- 23:33Speaker 2: know what this reminds me of. It reminds me of
- 23:35Speaker 2: the Mike Gallagher degrees of anti Semitism. Lesson where you've
- 23:39Speaker 2: come at us sometimes with the notion of to question Israel,
- 23:42Speaker 2: to wonder if maybe we support them a little too much,
- 23:45Speaker 2: to have a little criticism of Netanya, who doesn't make
- 23:47Speaker 2: you an anti semit You're one hundred percent correct about
- 23:50Speaker 2: that coming at us with those old tropes. So, you know,
- 23:53Speaker 2: the evil Jews lured Trump into some beiing now that
- 23:58Speaker 2: that is stone cold anti smith Smotism. You got to
- 24:00Speaker 2: sort of separate the week from the chaff in this
- 24:03Speaker 2: arena that you're talking about, to question Trump, to wonder
- 24:07Speaker 2: is this smart. To find a couple of things in
- 24:09Speaker 2: the memorandum of Understanding that might not hit you right.
- 24:13Speaker 2: That doesn't make you an anti Trumper, doesn't make you
- 24:15Speaker 2: filled with TDS, not at all, not at all. But
- 24:18Speaker 2: the people who are bagging it and savaging it before
- 24:20Speaker 2: they even know what it is. I think they are
- 24:23Speaker 2: showing you what they are.
- 24:24Speaker 3: I just think there's another agenda going on. I think
- 24:28Speaker 3: there's something in their hearts. We don't know what's in
- 24:30Speaker 3: their hearts. We don't know what's in their head. I
- 24:33Speaker 3: think Andy McCarthy is a never Trumper, for example, I
- 24:36Speaker 3: really do. And some of these guys have shown it.
- 24:39Speaker 3: John Thune has demonstrated that in the past. You go
- 24:42Speaker 3: back and look at interviews with John Thune in twenty sixteen.
- 24:45Speaker 3: He didn't want Trump on the ballot. He said it,
- 24:48Speaker 3: He goes, I wish there was another option. I wish
- 24:50Speaker 3: we had another option. So you know, now, do people
- 24:53Speaker 3: come around? I don't know if they come around or not.
- 24:57Speaker 3: I think maybe they pretend to come around. The fear
- 25:00Speaker 3: that I have is it some of them? And we
- 25:02Speaker 3: talked about this yesterday. Go look go back to the
- 25:05Speaker 3: National Review on the National Review Never Trump edition, Glenn Beck,
- 25:10Speaker 3: you know, writing a column Dana Lash. I love these
- 25:14Speaker 3: folks there. These are people that I mean, look at them.
- 25:18Speaker 3: They were writing a column desperately. Hugh Hewitt, let's let's
- 25:23Speaker 3: throw everybody under the bus while we're at it's the podcast, right.
- 25:26Speaker 3: Hugh Hewitt argued that they should change the rules of
- 25:30Speaker 3: the Republican National Convention in twenty sixteen to block Trump
- 25:35Speaker 3: from even being officially given the nomination. Now, Hugh is
- 25:38Speaker 3: one of the biggest Trump cheerleaders on the planet.
- 25:41Speaker 2: And he got smarter, he got better and made and
- 25:45Speaker 2: you know who else could have written in that National
- 25:47Speaker 2: Review infamous rag jd. Van's probably could have been given
- 25:50Speaker 2: a chapter. He got better, he got smarter. He he
- 25:53Speaker 2: called Trump hitler. Well, he didn't call Trump. Everybody gets
- 25:56Speaker 2: that wrong, somebody, I think in the midst of a
- 25:59Speaker 2: Q and A it was something like, you know, now
- 26:03Speaker 2: people are saying he might be the next Hitler? Might
- 26:05Speaker 2: he be I don't know, something like that. He didn't
- 26:07Speaker 2: come out and definitively say Trump is the next Hitler.
- 26:09Speaker 3: Okay, makes it a little better. I guess he was.
- 26:13Speaker 2: He was decidedly not a fan and from Dana Lash
- 26:16Speaker 2: and Glenn Beck and people are sort of in our world.
- 26:18Speaker 2: I want to I want to show grace. I want
- 26:19Speaker 2: to give him benefit of the doubt that they too,
- 26:21Speaker 2: because from Marco Rubio himself to Rick Perry to others
- 26:25Speaker 2: have absolutely grown and gotten smarter. And I've seen what
- 26:29Speaker 2: Trump actually did and said, you know what, maybe I
- 26:32Speaker 2: had it wrong.
- 26:33Speaker 3: Let's take a couple of moments to do some housekeeping items.
- 26:36Speaker 3: First of all, we have a lot of new people
- 26:38Speaker 3: watching us on YouTube Live and then YouTube it plays
- 26:41Speaker 3: all day long. You can always go to the YouTube channel,
- 26:43Speaker 3: the eminem Extra and we've got Now that we've got
- 26:46Speaker 3: about one hundred and fifty or more people watching, I'm
- 26:48Speaker 3: inviting you to please please subscribe because Mark says we're
- 26:52Speaker 3: only about one hundred people away from hitting a next
- 26:54Speaker 3: benchmark of four thousand subscribers. We want to get over
- 26:58Speaker 3: four thousand. Maybe we can do it today. If you're
- 27:00Speaker 3: watching now and you'd like to please subscribe, It don't
- 27:04Speaker 3: cost anything. You can click on the notification every time
- 27:07Speaker 3: there's a new video. You'll get a little ding, you
- 27:09Speaker 3: know with all your other favorite YouTube channels, folks, So
- 27:12Speaker 3: please please subscribe.
- 27:14Speaker 2: And that's part of the benefits of YouTube. And I
- 27:16Speaker 2: don't know who does this, If it's Erk or yasmin
- 27:18Speaker 2: or whatever, because we do thirty forty whatever minutes we do.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Who goes and minds those big fat piles of gold
- 27:26Speaker 2: and puts up little excerpts because somebody put it. There's
- 27:29Speaker 2: one that you can find on our M and M
- 27:31Speaker 2: extra YouTube channel, and it's called almost Arrested. It is
- 27:35Speaker 2: the roughly twelve minutes that you just those twelve minutes
- 27:37Speaker 2: that you and I spent yesterday talking about our very
- 27:40Speaker 2: tense exit from the listener lunch and how you stiff
- 27:42Speaker 2: me with the credit card. So little excerpts will also
- 27:45Speaker 2: wind up on the YouTube channel that you can consume
- 27:48Speaker 2: in a shorter form an interrupt.
- 27:50Speaker 3: Please please subscribe and follow and like. Go to eminem extra.

- 27:59Speaker 3: is all unique to the podcast space. Number two, since
- 28:03Speaker 3: people are new to the YouTube experience. Yes, we know
- 28:06Speaker 3: that there are commercials that get inserted right in the
- 28:09Speaker 3: middle of our conversation. That is a product of YouTube.
- 28:13Speaker 3: Every YouTube channel does that. Those are called programmatic ads.
- 28:17Speaker 3: They help support what we do every day. And I
- 28:19Speaker 3: know that's jarring to people who are used to clean
- 28:22Speaker 3: breaks on the Mark Davis Show or the Mike Gallagher Show,
- 28:25Speaker 3: we time everything out and everything. It doesn't work that
- 28:27Speaker 3: way on YouTube. That's not and that's and understand that's
- 28:30Speaker 3: not a mistake. That is the way they do it.
- 28:32Speaker 3: You're not missing anything. It just stops. It'll stop our
- 28:35Speaker 3: conversation kind of mid sentence. It'll play the spot and
- 28:39Speaker 3: then it'll pick up where we left off. So we
- 28:41Speaker 3: are aware for some of you who are commenting. And
- 28:44Speaker 3: final housekeeping note, somebody emailed me last night. I'm loving
- 28:48Speaker 3: the Mark is always casual on his show, but Mike,
- 28:52Speaker 3: you get casual. You wear a suit and tie during
- 28:54Speaker 3: the Mike Gallagher Show, but then you wear a golf shirt.
- 28:57Speaker 3: I have a closet full of golf shirts from one brand.
- 29:01Speaker 3: It's one company, one shop. I don't think they're national.
- 29:06Speaker 3: I think they're only in the Tampa Bay area.
- 29:08Speaker 2: In hell endorsement, I mean, if PhD Weight Loss wants
- 29:12Speaker 2: to pay to be involved with us, and we're going
- 29:13Speaker 2: to do them a great, great solid every day with
- 29:16Speaker 2: that magnificent weight loss program. Official official outfitters of Mike Gallagher.
- 29:21Speaker 2: Who's Who's the shirt company?

- 29:33Speaker 3: homes and apart.
- 29:34Speaker 2: A nautical like. Those are types of masks, aren't they

- 30:47Speaker 3: and viewing, who knows, don't care anybody.
- 30:49Speaker 2: Is anymore these days. He said, Oh, you guys are
- 30:51Speaker 2: branching out. And it's a little shack that says eminem Tours.
- 30:56Speaker 2: This looks like where you might go to hop on
- 30:58Speaker 2: a boat to go catch salmon or something. You know.
- 31:01Speaker 3: Funny. That's funny. Well, and speaking of PhD and sponsors,
- 31:04Speaker 3: we are thrilled to welcome PhD Weight Loss to the
- 31:08Speaker 3: Eminem Extra because this is a program. There was a
- 31:11Speaker 3: real game changer for me. I lost fifty three pounds
- 31:14Speaker 3: A few years ago. I met doctor Ashley Lucas in
- 31:17Speaker 3: South Carolina, in the Upstate, where I spend a lot
- 31:20Speaker 3: of time. A lot of my friends were losing a
- 31:23Speaker 3: bunch of weight and I didn't know why, and I said,
- 31:24Speaker 3: what are you doing? They said, it's this wildly successful
- 31:27Speaker 3: program called PhD Weight Loss. It's all about data, it's
- 31:31Speaker 3: all about science. It's all about getting rid of that stubborn,
- 31:34Speaker 3: visceral belly fat that you can't get rid of. You
- 31:36Speaker 3: can use their food, you can use your own food,
- 31:39Speaker 3: or use a combination of both. And I am so
- 31:42Speaker 3: thrilled to be able to welcome PhD Weight Loss to

- 33:10Speaker 2: four is the fore mast, right. I heard the big
- 33:13Speaker 2: one in the middle is the main mast, and the
- 33:15Speaker 2: one in the back. I guess they didn't want to
- 33:16Speaker 2: call it the rear mass or the ass mast or
- 33:18Speaker 2: whatever it would be called. Sorry, the mizzen mast is
- 33:22Speaker 2: the is the smaller in the back of a ship. Well, freak,
- 33:26Speaker 2: it's the two guys names. That's three plug. I thought
- 33:28Speaker 2: that was their last last.
- 33:29Speaker 3: I thought, mister Mizzen and mister Main and Tommy Master
- 33:33Speaker 3: some shirts for you, Mizzen and Maine Hyde Park, Tampa.
- 33:38Speaker 3: Free plug for them, because that's where I get all
- 33:40Speaker 3: my ball shirts and there and I have a whole
- 33:42Speaker 3: I don't have any other golf shirt except the ones
- 33:44Speaker 3: from Misson in Maine. All right, I can't get out
- 33:46Speaker 3: of here without bouncing Barbara Lee off of you. She's
- 33:49Speaker 3: the mayor of Oakland, Oakland, California. Right now, you don't
- 33:53Speaker 3: think Democrats are whack jobs, you think Democrats have their
- 33:56Speaker 3: act together, I give you the mayor of Oakland. She's
- 33:59Speaker 3: one of the stars of today's Democrat party, and she
- 34:03Speaker 3: believes that they need to raise the federal minimum wage.
- 34:08Speaker 3: Have you heard this story yet, Mark.
- 34:10Speaker 2: No, well just only for twenty years. There should be
- 34:12Speaker 2: no such thing as a minimum wage. Work in a minute,
- 34:15Speaker 2: but correct you. Of course you're right. There should not
- 34:18Speaker 2: be a federal minimum wage marketplace exactly, that's right.
- 34:20Speaker 3: Let the marketplace determine what it should what the wage
- 34:23Speaker 3: should be for somebody who's working in a McDonald's or somewhere,
- 34:26Speaker 3: whatever they're doing. All right, now, the federal minium wage,
- 34:29Speaker 3: what is it now? Seven fifty seven quarter? It's in
- 34:33Speaker 3: the seven range. Mayor Barbara Lee, who's running for reelection,
- 34:38Speaker 3: argues it should be a little higher. Mark Davis, before
- 34:43Speaker 3: we play this clip, I'm going to put you on
- 34:45Speaker 3: the spot. Take a guest. Now, you know it's a
- 34:48Speaker 3: crazy number, but take it. It's seven twenty five now
- 34:52Speaker 3: or seven to fifty.
- 34:53Speaker 2: Does the term living wage escape her lips?
- 34:56Speaker 3: Well, She argues that her proposal makes it more of
- 34:59Speaker 3: a living wage.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Because this is the thing is with the minimum wage
- 35:03Speaker 2: being what it is, some cities, some mayors, even some
- 35:06Speaker 2: governors have said, well, what we really need to have
- 35:08Speaker 2: is figure out what a family for or whatever anybody
- 35:11Speaker 2: needs to live. And again, I understand it's a getting
- 35:14Speaker 2: more expensive to live. I understand hopefully less so in
- 35:16Speaker 2: the coming weeks, portability of portability. But so some places
- 35:20Speaker 2: have had a living wage that was way higher. Are
- 35:22Speaker 2: you asking me to predict what Barbara Ly suggests?
- 35:26Speaker 3: I am asking you to predict what Barbaraly suggests. I
- 35:29Speaker 3: have heard.
- 35:30Speaker 2: I mean, I think there's some California living wages that
- 35:33Speaker 2: are like fifteen seventeen. It can't be twenty. It cannot
- 35:39Speaker 2: be twenty. I truly don't know. We don't plan this,
- 35:42Speaker 2: rehearse this, or it's not a bit. So let's let
- 35:46Speaker 2: me go. Let me go nineteen.
- 35:48Speaker 3: Okay, Now, if I told you you're not even close,
- 35:51Speaker 3: would that surprise you? Mark, You're not even close. You're
- 35:55Speaker 3: not even in the ballpark. You're sitting down right if
- 35:58Speaker 3: you're watching right now on you Tube, if you're listening
- 36:01Speaker 3: to the podcast, if you're driving, please keep your hands
- 36:03Speaker 3: on the wheel. Ten to two. Focus, don't lose, don't
- 36:07Speaker 3: lose consciousness. This is one of the stars of the
- 36:10Speaker 3: Democrat Party. Oakland, California Mayor Barbara Lee.
- 36:15Speaker 4: You're calling for a fifty dollars an hour federal minimum wage.
- 36:18Speaker 4: That's seven times the current national minimum wage of seven
- 36:22Speaker 4: to twenty five an hour. Can you explain how that
- 36:24Speaker 4: would be economically sustainable for small businesses? You have sixty seconds.
- 36:29Speaker 7: First, let me say I owned and ran a small
- 36:32Speaker 7: business for eleven years. I created hundreds of jobs, benefits,
- 36:39Speaker 7: retirement benefits, also healthcare benefits. I know what worker productivity means,
- 36:45Speaker 7: and that means that you have to make sure that
- 36:47Speaker 7: your employees are taken care of and have a living wage.
- 36:51Speaker 7: In the Bay Area, I believe it was the United
- 36:54Speaker 7: Way came out with the report that very recently one
- 36:58Speaker 7: hundred and seven twenty seven thousand dollars for a family
- 37:02Speaker 7: of four is just barely enough to get by. Another
- 37:07Speaker 7: survey very recently one hundred and four thousand for a
- 37:09Speaker 7: family of one barely enough to get by low income
- 37:13Speaker 7: because of the affordability crisis. And so just do the math.
- 37:17Speaker 7: Just do the math. Of course, we have national minimum
- 37:20Speaker 7: wages that we need to raise to a living wage.
- 37:23Speaker 7: You're talking about twenty twenty five dollars. Fine, but I
- 37:26Speaker 7: have got to be focused on what California needs and
- 37:29Speaker 7: what the affordability factor is when we calculate our.
- 37:35Speaker 3: Listening.
- 37:38Speaker 2: Is the ship leaving? What was that?
- 37:40Speaker 3: The ship? Behog ai? No, No, what's the land.
- 37:46Speaker 2: That's one hundred grand?
- 37:47Speaker 3: Yet?
- 37:48Speaker 2: And by the way, she's this is the most dangerous
- 37:50Speaker 2: ideas are the ones that surround an observation that you
- 37:53Speaker 2: can make where she's not wrong. Of course, it's hard
- 37:55Speaker 2: to get by, and you do, especially in California, about
- 37:58Speaker 2: one hundred grand. Not only are you not rich, it's
- 38:00Speaker 2: probably pretty paycheck to paycheck if you got a kid
- 38:03Speaker 2: or two in California. But wow, what a horrible idea.
- 38:07Speaker 2: It'll kill businesses.
- 38:08Speaker 3: Fifty dollars an hour, forty hours a week, two thousand
- 38:12Speaker 3: dollars a week. That means it would be one hundred
- 38:14Speaker 3: and four thousand dollars a year to be to be
- 38:17Speaker 3: a fry cook. And look, I will always now tomorrow
- 38:21Speaker 3: when I tell the story of me, because you hadn't
- 38:23Speaker 3: heard the Barber Lee clip or seen it right, Your
- 38:25Speaker 3: guest was nineteen, and you thought it.
- 38:27Speaker 2: Was nineteen, and listen, and I was. I said it,
- 38:30Speaker 2: surely it can't be twenty. Even as I said, surely
- 38:33Speaker 2: it can't be twenty, I thought it's probably twenty. It's
- 38:36Speaker 2: probably twenty five. It's probably I thought, since it was
- 38:39Speaker 2: probably twenty five or twenty sixth food for can I
- 38:43Speaker 2: know we're looking at the door here. I've fired up
- 38:46Speaker 2: the al Exa a moment ago. I wantn't want to
- 38:49Speaker 2: do that again unless I have to one other. There's
- 38:52Speaker 2: one thing I can do and try. Okay, just take
- 38:56Speaker 2: a second, sure and we and we may use it
- 38:58Speaker 2: in the future. I don't know. And that's if something
- 39:01Speaker 2: happens while you and I are talking, right, we may
- 39:05Speaker 2: at some point be able to go to some live
- 39:07Speaker 2: video feed or something.
- 39:08Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we're good.
- 39:09Speaker 2: We don't even know what day it is around here,
- 39:11Speaker 2: so we're we're it's it's all. You gotta crawl before
- 39:13Speaker 2: you walk. So work in progress. I'm gonna I'm gonna
- 39:16Speaker 2: say that again. I'm gonna try something for ten to
- 39:18Speaker 2: fifteen seconds. Would you like to hear here? And so
- 39:22Speaker 2: you and I will just sort of look at each other.
- 39:23Speaker 2: But I've got the ability to hit this button. This
- 39:25Speaker 2: is Trump. About twenty twenty five minutes ago, he came
- 39:29Speaker 2: out at the G seven and had a thing or
- 39:31Speaker 2: two to say about the Iran deal. And so when
- 39:34Speaker 2: this happens, we can at least listen react to it.
- 39:36Speaker 2: Let's do it for a couple of seconds. See if
- 39:38Speaker 2: it works. Okay, if it doesn't, it's my bad.
- 39:40Speaker 8: They had a great event and this is something very special,
- 39:44Speaker 8: and I want to thank President McCrone bridget, his really
- 39:50Speaker 8: lovely wife, fantastic person.
- 39:51Speaker 2: He's just going to thank people for a minute. But
- 39:53Speaker 2: we may get to something extremely Yeah. Let me let
- 39:57Speaker 2: me go for it. Mellop it, buy it. They can
- 40:00Speaker 2: never have a nuclear weapon. Yeah.
- 40:02Speaker 8: At the same time, with this announcement or close to it,
- 40:07Speaker 8: as people started to think it was going to happen,
- 40:10Speaker 8: when Iran was making some very positive statements, the stock
- 40:14Speaker 8: market has served to record highs.
- 40:17Speaker 2: So this was just a few minutes ago. So if
- 40:20Speaker 2: something breaks while you and I talking to each other, yeah,
- 40:23Speaker 2: well the magical ability to bring you at least hot
- 40:27Speaker 2: fresh audio and we'll work on the rent.
- 40:30Speaker 3: He's at the G seven and he's just shared with
- 40:32Speaker 3: the world. Look, we stopped a nuclear holocaust. And that's
- 40:35Speaker 3: what this is all about. It when you frame it properly,
- 40:38Speaker 3: the messaging is everything. And here's the final message if
- 40:41Speaker 3: you're ready for this. Tracy just found out a little
- 40:43Speaker 3: bit about Mizzen and Maine. You know, Walter Mizzen and
- 40:47Speaker 3: Tom Mayne. You want to know where. You want to
- 40:50Speaker 3: know where Mizzen and Maine is based. You whe they're headquartered?
- 40:53Speaker 2: Right and title, I've proven myself crappy at guessing, so
- 40:59Speaker 2: I'll play the game. This is at least and I
- 41:01Speaker 2: do this all the time. I'll play the game. The
- 41:03Speaker 2: game is you try to guess something you have no
- 41:05Speaker 2: way of knowing, but you just try to sort of
- 41:07Speaker 2: get there, try to guess the store that you get
- 41:11Speaker 2: my call from. So it's kind of a guest or.
- 41:14Speaker 3: No, Tampa, Florida, missing in Maine, my favorite cultures.
- 41:17Speaker 2: But they are, but they are not headquartered in Florida. Correct,
