Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Now, what is it possible? Is it possible? Is it possible, though, Mike,
- 0:07Speaker 1: that the legendary iconic Bob Villain may have a theme
- 0:11Speaker 1: for our times, that the times they are a change in?
- 0:14Speaker 1: Get it? Do you feel like the times are a
- 0:16Speaker 1: change in? C c CC now? The reason for this
- 0:20Speaker 1: it yes, he is the reason for this. He also
- 0:23Speaker 1: turns eighty five on Sunday. So I was gonna do
- 0:28Speaker 1: knocking on evan door, lay, lady lay, or something like that.
- 0:31Speaker 1: But the times I think are a change in. Senate
- 0:35Speaker 1: Republicans are in full revolt. They just can't believe that
- 0:39Speaker 1: things aren't wholly going their way. One of the familiar
- 0:43Speaker 1: narratives yesterday was that we're putting the majority at risk.
- 0:46Speaker 1: We're putting the majority at risk. And my fault was,
- 0:49Speaker 1: we're working toward a new majority. It is a new
- 0:51Speaker 1: majority of real warriors. You're either on board or you're not.
- 0:54Speaker 1: You're for us or you're against us, and we're putting
- 0:57Speaker 1: together a new majority where conservatives are no longer. You're
- 1:00Speaker 1: going to have to endure the annoyance of insufficient warriors.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Your Tom Tillis's, your Bill Cassidys, etcetera. Etcetera.
- 1:09Speaker 2: So, well, well, they're making the one point eight billion
- 1:11Speaker 2: dollar slush fund the big reason for the revolt. They're
- 1:14Speaker 2: claiming that that's it, and I was, I am kind
- 1:16Speaker 2: of intrigued by your sort of tacit approval of it.
- 1:21Speaker 1: I think, I'm tell it's my thorough approval of it.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Yeah, but I would I would. I would assert that
- 1:28Speaker 2: you haven't been real enthusiastic about it, nor have I.
- 1:32Speaker 2: And maybe I'm reading too much into it.
- 1:34Speaker 1: I wonder if this is a great time to bring
- 1:36Speaker 1: it up.
- 1:37Speaker 2: That's my part, that's my concern. I just wonder if
- 1:39Speaker 2: the timing is not bad. However, I do believe that
- 1:43Speaker 2: the John Thunes of the world are using it as
- 1:46Speaker 2: the excuse to say, well, this is such a mess,
- 1:50Speaker 2: We're going to go home now, We're going to take
- 1:51Speaker 2: a vacation instead of passing all these important things that
- 1:54Speaker 2: have to be passed with regards to border security and
- 1:57Speaker 2: ice and all that. You know, sometimes Trump just plows ahead,
- 2:03Speaker 2: doesn't care about optics, doesn't care particularly about I mean,
- 2:07Speaker 2: he's not a politician, and he doesn't have a focus
- 2:09Speaker 2: group advising him. Look, I'll draw the line and I'll
- 2:13Speaker 2: get started. I sure, hope they don't intend to compensate
- 2:16Speaker 2: anybody who attacked cops or who was violent with cops.
- 2:20Speaker 2: That would be a problem. The problem. The trouble is
- 2:23Speaker 2: you got a whole lot of people who act like
- 2:25Speaker 2: nothing really bad happened on January sixth, yep. And that's
- 2:30Speaker 2: a lot of people. And that's that's not isolated. A
- 2:33Speaker 2: lot of people. We could light up our phone like,
- 2:36Speaker 2: oh it was all Antifa. Oh there wasn't any violence.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Oh and there was violence. Look at the bodycam videos
- 2:43Speaker 2: for crying out. A lot a lot of people did
- 2:45Speaker 2: really bad, destructive things. They did attack cops, they did
- 2:50Speaker 2: break windows. They but having said that, there's a whole
- 2:53Speaker 2: lot of people that just walked in with an open
- 2:56Speaker 2: door and they wound up having their lives ruined. A
- 3:00Speaker 2: lot of people. There's a story on x that I
- 3:02Speaker 2: posted a guy that writes this long. He said, I
- 3:05Speaker 2: walked through an open door. I yelled a little bit.
- 3:09Speaker 2: He goes, I didn't touch anybody, didn't do anything wrong
- 3:13Speaker 2: other than be in the building. And then he left.
- 3:16Speaker 2: And then the next day or whenever they pre dawn
- 3:19Speaker 2: raid there, he was stripped, you know, out in his
- 3:22Speaker 2: underwear in the front yard, in front of the neighbors,
- 3:25Speaker 2: and he has spent thousands and thousands of dollars. He
- 3:28Speaker 2: got pardoned eventually, but not before his entire life savings
- 3:31Speaker 2: were wiped out. His wife was put on a no
- 3:34Speaker 2: fly list. They were debanked. They I mean, this whole
- 3:38Speaker 2: life was destroyed.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Now, I always try to look at the other and
- 3:42Speaker 1: why for those that are and why because his crime
- 3:46Speaker 1: is his person, not even really a crime, because his
- 3:50Speaker 1: it was he was wrong place, wrong time, because he
- 3:55Speaker 1: was even tangentially in a location that needed to be weaponized,
- 4:05Speaker 1: that needed to be stigmatized. They had to crank it
- 4:10Speaker 1: up to eleven, twelve and thirteen because the Democrat Party
- 4:13Speaker 1: had to portray January sixth as being worse than nine
- 4:18Speaker 1: to eleven, worse than Pearl Harbor Day. So anybody even
- 4:21Speaker 1: remotely tangentially peripherally attached to it had to be ratcheted
- 4:26Speaker 1: up for maximum, maximum punishment and making their life and
- 4:30Speaker 1: some degree of atonement, some degree of healing for them
- 4:34Speaker 1: is what this fund is about.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Didn't mean to bog down, No, it's you're right, and
- 4:39Speaker 2: they they have weaponized January sixth against us, That's what
- 4:43Speaker 2: they've done. And you know, they think they've got us,
- 4:45Speaker 2: you know, and Thune and these guys, they just go
- 4:48Speaker 2: right along happily and they say, oh yeah, I mean,
- 4:50Speaker 2: these people tried to destroy democracy and now we're going
- 4:54Speaker 2: to pay them with a one point eight billion dollar fund. Incidentally,
- 4:57Speaker 2: nobody ever talks about the payout that the government gave
- 5:00Speaker 2: to people like Peter Struck. Remember him, Remember the guy
- 5:04Speaker 2: that you know that we have an insurance policy, and
- 5:07Speaker 2: because his texts were leaked, he wound up getting rich
- 5:11Speaker 2: by the government. We right, we wrote checks to people
- 5:14Speaker 2: like him. Nobody bats an eye, you know. So it's
- 5:17Speaker 2: it's not fair. But I will say this, I have
- 5:21Speaker 2: the same feeling you have. We got a lot on
- 5:24Speaker 2: our plate right now. We got to get this Warren
- 5:26Speaker 2: I ran over. We got to get the straight of
- 5:28Speaker 2: Horn moves open, and we got to get the prices
- 5:29Speaker 2: to come down or we are going to be doomed
- 5:32Speaker 2: politically on November the third.
- 5:34Speaker 1: That's right. The most Cuba thing is something that resonates
- 5:37Speaker 1: deeply with me. Fantastic, you know, Kuba libre, Hey, fantastic.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Let's do it right now, kill me, focus, focus, focus, please,
- 5:44Speaker 1: can we get the war one ideally by Labor Day
- 5:47Speaker 1: and then we'll work on, you know, indicting, you know whatever.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Members of the Castro family are still breeding.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Meanwhile, there's a guy in San Diego, sixty nine year
- 5:56Speaker 2: old man Carrie Sharon or Sharon who who had a
- 6:01Speaker 2: Trump house. He had flags all over, he had Trump signs,
- 6:05Speaker 2: he was all in. He was maga on steroids. He
- 6:10Speaker 2: was beaten to death, brutally beaten, sixty nine years old.
- 6:14Speaker 2: The assailant, thirty two year old s Condido resident, Thomas
- 6:19Speaker 2: Caleb Butler, was arrested on attempted murder charges, faces life
- 6:23Speaker 2: in prison. There's a picture, a graphic, gruesome picture of
- 6:27Speaker 2: the sixty nine year old maga guy in the hospital.
- 6:30Speaker 2: I mean, this guy was pummeled, he was just every
- 6:32Speaker 2: bone in his body was broken. And you know, as
- 6:35Speaker 2: I posted last night on X, when you keep calling
- 6:38Speaker 2: us fascists, when you keep calling us, you know, Hitler's,
- 6:42Speaker 2: when you keep calling us horrible things, threats.
- 6:45Speaker 1: To democracy, that America will cease to exist if our
- 6:48Speaker 1: side racks up any more victories.
- 6:49Speaker 2: So maybe you shouldn't be surprised when somebody gets beaten
- 6:52Speaker 2: to death by some lunatic who doesn't like a Trump
- 6:55Speaker 2: sign in somebody's front yard. Now because the shoe was
- 6:57Speaker 2: on the other foot. Somebody had an Obamas, somebody had
- 7:01Speaker 2: a Biden shrine in their front yard and they got
- 7:03Speaker 2: beaten to death. Oh my gosh, that's all we'd be
- 7:06Speaker 2: writing about, is all we'd be hearing about. And we
- 7:08Speaker 2: know how that game is played, and it's just kind
- 7:10Speaker 2: of disgusting. By the way, Let's not get out of
- 7:12Speaker 2: here without talking about Kyle Busch. My goodness, what years
- 7:19Speaker 2: well he had. You know, reportedly he fell he was
- 7:23Speaker 2: he was fixing a smoke detector a couple of weeks ago,
- 7:27Speaker 2: he fell off a stool and he cut open his leg.
- 7:30Speaker 2: His wife took him to the hospital. Being Kyle Busch,
- 7:33Speaker 2: I mean, this guy just a renegade and a beloved
- 7:35Speaker 2: figure of NASCAR, he went back right into the car
- 7:38Speaker 2: pretty soon. Then, like a few days ago, at the
- 7:43Speaker 2: end of a race, he called for a doctor and
- 7:45Speaker 2: it was reportedly a sinus infection, and they kept but
- 7:49Speaker 2: they kept calling it a sinus cold.
- 7:50Speaker 1: I've never heard of that.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of the phrase sinus cold? Not?
- 7:53Speaker 1: But it seems like a confluence of sinus infection and
- 7:56Speaker 1: head cold I don't know.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Maybe and he and he was asked about it, and
- 7:59Speaker 2: he told reporter the other day, Yeah, because it's in
- 8:01Speaker 2: my head and you can still hear it, he said,
- 8:04Speaker 2: And they alluded to it. And now they get him
- 8:07Speaker 2: into the hospital. There's a lot of speculation that he
- 8:09Speaker 2: developed pneumonia and then that turned into sepsis, because it's
- 8:13Speaker 2: kind of weird for a healthy forty one year old
- 8:15Speaker 2: guy to die of pneumonia. So just but there's a
- 8:18Speaker 2: great piece over at Red State by Jerry Wilson why
- 8:21Speaker 2: Kyle Busch's death hurts so much. Wasn't supposed to die,
- 8:26Speaker 2: you know, always about you know, respect. His death closes
- 8:30Speaker 2: the door on the NASCAR. So many new and loved
- 8:33Speaker 2: many will still watch the races, he writes at Red State,
- 8:36Speaker 2: not as many as before, certainly not as many as
- 8:39Speaker 2: in the days of packed houses at racetracks. But today
- 8:43Speaker 2: we lost NASCAR's last genuine villain, cruelly and prematurely. Whether
- 8:48Speaker 2: you loved him or loathed him, you always had to
- 8:51Speaker 2: acknowledge him as someone who belonged in NASCAR's history and lore,
- 8:55Speaker 2: as an integral part of the sport we adored. That's
- 8:58Speaker 2: why Kyle Busch's death so much.
- 9:00Speaker 1: The NASCAR bad Blood is such fun because it is
- 9:04Speaker 1: so good natured at its route. You know, whether it's
- 9:07Speaker 1: what people thought about, you know, Dale Junior, what people
- 9:10Speaker 1: thought about Jeff Gordon, or what people thought about Kyle Busch.
- 9:13Speaker 1: And there was a recent interview where someone is interviewing him.
- 9:17Speaker 1: I believe after a win, it's like, why do these wins?
- 9:19Speaker 1: Why do these races mean so much to you? And
- 9:22Speaker 1: his answer was because you never know when it's the
- 9:24Speaker 1: last one.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Well, that's it. I mean he was at then yesterday,
- 9:27Speaker 2: you never know when the last one is. When he
- 9:30Speaker 2: was asked why it never gets old and so may
- 9:32Speaker 2: his memory bless us with the important reminder that any
- 9:37Speaker 2: day could be our last. Mark and I love that
- 9:40Speaker 2: message of just live your life like it's your last day.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Be kind, make it, do something good for somebody. I mean,
- 9:47Speaker 2: we right now, we're happening. We happen to be in
- 9:50Speaker 2: the middle of something that this audience is doing really
- 9:52Speaker 2: a lot of good with. We've got four hundred and
- 9:55Speaker 2: twenty four kids going to these Frisday summer camps. I'd
- 9:58Speaker 2: like to get out of here today before I head
- 10:00Speaker 2: up to off the vacation to hit five hundred kids.
- 10:04Speaker 2: It's two hundred dollars to sponsor a child who's a
- 10:07Speaker 2: son or daughter of a prisoner, and they can you
- 10:09Speaker 2: can send him to the Prison Fellowship Ministry summer camp
- 10:11Speaker 2: called Angel Tree if you go to mic online dot com.
- 10:14Speaker 2: Now we're at four twenty four. Right now, I got
- 10:16Speaker 2: an idea. I'm going to pull out and I want
- 10:19Speaker 2: to talk to Dallas, to the Dallas fort Worth audience
- 10:22Speaker 2: you have are here, like it or not, whatever you
- 10:25Speaker 2: think of the forty first President of the United States.
- 10:27Speaker 2: George W. Bush was the forty first president of the
- 10:30Speaker 2: United States. HW Bush No, George W. Bush Portrait of
- 10:34Speaker 2: my Father forty one. Well, he was talking about forty one.
- 10:38Speaker 2: That's the name of his book, forty one. That's right.
- 10:40Speaker 2: He talking about his father. But it was written by
- 10:42Speaker 2: his son, George W.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Bush.
- 10:44Speaker 2: I've got a copy of it right now. If you're
- 10:45Speaker 2: watching on the Twitter stream right now, you see my
- 10:48Speaker 2: crappy of the right. Fantastic book. It's a great book.
- 10:50Speaker 2: And look, he was a George W. Bush was very
- 10:53Speaker 2: kind to me. I had a peanut butter and jelly
- 10:56Speaker 2: sandwich in his Dallas office. Well after he was out
- 10:59Speaker 2: of office, he was plug you and I met with
- 11:01Speaker 2: him in the Oval office. So we have great fond feelings.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Look what I have. I have a signed copy. I
- 11:07Speaker 2: have his book and look at the if you're watching
- 11:09Speaker 2: on the camera, high Mike, best wishes George Bush. Okay,
- 11:14Speaker 2: not signed. I think somebody who loves presidential memorabilia would
- 11:19Speaker 2: love to have this book in their possession. And I'd
- 11:22Speaker 2: like to auction it off to a bidder to go
- 11:24Speaker 2: to our prison fellowship, Angel Tree summer camp campaign. Mark,
- 11:28Speaker 2: I'm going to have you, what do you think? What
- 11:29Speaker 2: set the price? And let's see if we can't get
- 11:31Speaker 2: somebody to bid on it. Right now, listening to the
- 11:34Speaker 2: eminem experience.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Well, where do people call? And I would think that
- 11:38Speaker 1: how many it's two hundred to.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Two hundred dollars to sponsor a child for a week,
- 11:44Speaker 2: you know, two hundred dollars for one week to go
- 11:46Speaker 2: to a summer camp.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Let's go, let's let's go five kids for a grand
- 11:49Speaker 1: to start going to start a.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Bidding war is no, no, no, I just want a
- 11:53Speaker 2: good I want I want it first, I want it,
- 11:56Speaker 2: and we'll send it to you one thousand dollars for
- 11:57Speaker 2: five kids.
- 11:58Speaker 1: That sound good to you? Sounds is that your price nice?
- 12:02Speaker 2: It's got to be because it's going to be one
- 12:03Speaker 2: of your fans who appreciates the legacy of having.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Nobody a grand and again and it's not even with
- 12:08Speaker 1: them Bush this book because everybody knows what I think
- 12:12Speaker 1: about the entirety of the Bush family. They made me
- 12:14Speaker 1: a little nutty, but their heart for service and this
- 12:17Speaker 1: family and what they brought to just the American scene
- 12:21Speaker 1: is something that is a really important and uplifting part
- 12:23Speaker 1: of history. And this book is fantastic.
- 12:26Speaker 2: So okay, So if you want the book, and it's
- 12:28Speaker 2: again if you're what it's it is personally signed, and
- 12:30Speaker 2: it's cool because it's signed like with a like what
- 12:32Speaker 2: you can see, it's a sharpie. You can tell. It's
- 12:34Speaker 2: not one of those stamped signs. So it's high Mike,
- 12:36Speaker 2: and it says high Mike, best wishes George Bush. He
- 12:39Speaker 2: has personally signed it. It's a book about his father,
- 12:42Speaker 2: forty one A Portrait of My Father by George W. Bush.
- 12:45Speaker 2: If you are a historian, if you love presidential memorabilia
- 12:49Speaker 2: and you want to help, you want to send five
- 12:51Speaker 2: kids to a christ centered summer camp Children of Prisoners
- 12:56Speaker 2: one thousand dollars. Call Tracy right now, she's standing by
