Absolutely. So let's get to your emails. Of course, new station I want to say hello to,
Ilion Access in Ilion, New York. Thrilled to have them on with us. Talking about the
David Pakman Show Progressive Mafia, I mentioned the highest level of membership is the Underboss,
which works under Louis. People said well, where does that leave me? And one emailer
saying, "David is the host, so I guess that makes him the figurehead of the Progressive
Mafia, but Louis runs the show. Don Motamedi."
Louis: The Don, huh?
David: That's basically right. Louis really runs everything. I am just a... I'm just a
figurehead. I basically don't do anything here. Louis getting a lot of anger. Louis
last show came out with this incredible rant about the TSA gropings of people's packages,
and he actually said, "Suck it up." If it's your kids, let them suck it up. I mean, come
on, he went completely off. I didn't endorse it at all. Every single email about it was
going completely off on Louis. So let me read some of these, then Louis can respond.
"The point is, Louis, is that there are better, more efficient, and less invasive methods
of security, bomb-sniffing dogs, metal detectors, profiling, and many others." Another email:
"Louis deserves to be anally *** and violated if he truly believes that USA citizens deserve
that sort of treatment. Louis is sick." And another one, "Louis, go to hell. You're probably
one of those sissies from the beginning of school to the end of college, if you even
passed college, that is, that's been bullied around and thought of it as normal. The unsafe
screening and pat-downs have nothing to do with being safe, it's about letting government
control you like cattle. I heard North Korea's a paradise for clowns like you. Another sheep
bites the dust, eh?" And lastly, "Now I can end my quest to find out why Louis doesn't
talk much."
Louis: OK, yes, I did pass college, and I don't think government... the idea... government
control...
David: And turn your mic down a little bit, Louis, you're very wound up.
Louis: I think if the government wanted to control us, they wouldn't do it by touching
our butts and our packages. I never said that this should be how things are done.
David: OK.
Louis: What I said was if it comes to a pat-down, just deal with it. I agree that there are
better ways to do things, but if it comes to a pat-down, don't hold everyone up, just
deal with it.
David: Right.
Louis: Just deal with it.
David: So there is Louis's explanation.
Louis: Until there's something better in place, just deal with it.
David: On the issue of... There it is, ladies and gentlemen. On the issue of John McCain
going down as an angry old man, a lot of emails. "McCain is a traitor, and that's why he had
his war record declared a secret permanently. People know he rolled over to the enemy and
talked." I didn't know anything about that. On the bonus show, Louis is hosting. See you
next year.
