SPEAKER 03 :
Mike Gallagher. Every day, Mike visits with Mark Davis, morning host on 660 AM, The Answer in Dallas. Here’s today’s Eminem experience.
SPEAKER 04 :
I begin, Mike, with an olive branch I need to extend. Uh-oh. Was I right and you were wrong? No, to this guy. The great Michael McDonald. I have mocked him forever. I keep forgetting all my songs sound the same. I’ve done this because here’s why I haven’t. It’s 1976-ish. I’m a snarky 19-year-old. And this guy rolls in and changes the Doobie Brothers forever. The Doobie Brothers for me had been China Grove and, you know, Another Park, Another Sunday and albums like What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits, the Tom Johnston, Blackwater, the Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons. And then they kind of got turned into that. And ain’t nothing wrong with that. They took that to the bank for zillions of dollars. And it’s been kind of a fun journey. bit on the show that i have a grudge against michael mcdonald for changing the newbie brother i know he’s a genius and after watching that have you seen the yacht rock documentary no not yet oh dude you have to he listen there’s just it just reinforces what an amazing talented remarkable generational talent he is and he is uh 73 today michael mcdonald’s birthday so mike i love you man I love you, Michael McDonald.
SPEAKER 05 :
Happy B-Day. Well, look, I’m just devastated right now. I’m having a very bad day. Sorry. This ride was so, so exciting. This ride was so short-lived.
SPEAKER 04 :
What’s happened?
SPEAKER 05 :
This ride for Donald Trump has come to an end.
SPEAKER 04 :
Did I miss something? Is it over?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. Oh, it’s big. I mean, you’re not watching the right media. You’re not seeing the right stuff. I mean, it’s so… Well, yeah, of course there’s a constitutional crisis. Yesterday, a group of Democrat lawmakers took to Capitol Hill.
SPEAKER 04 :
People who really care about the public and care about democracy.
SPEAKER 05 :
Of course they do. And, you know, you and I have been talking about how flat-footed they seem to have been. You know, I mean, they’re kind of flailing about.
SPEAKER 04 :
Have they discovered – is there wind in their sails? Have they hit their stride?
SPEAKER 05 :
They have found the magic bullet. There’s credible reporting that yesterday Donald Trump was cowering in the Oval Office with Pete Hegseth and with – With Elon, they are quivering in their boots. They have finally met their match. I give you Mark Davis, a band of warriors. I give you heroes. I give you truth seekers. I give you the effective counter to the Trump agenda. Let me take you now to Capitol Hill.
SPEAKER 02 :
Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Tell me, which side are you on? Which side are you on? We’ll fight against George. We’ll fight Elon Musk. No, we’ll escape within our walls. We’ll fight from dawn to dusk.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s it. Which side are you on?
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s catchy.
SPEAKER 05 :
I mean, I think I heard Donald Trump.
SPEAKER 04 :
According to the Daily Beast. Real quick, real quick. There’s a mix minus thing. I’ve been hearing myself.
SPEAKER 05 :
Got a mix minus, guys. We got some kind of echo. Can we fix it, please?
SPEAKER 04 :
All right. Thank you very much.
SPEAKER 05 :
Good, good. Hey, there’s a report. The Daily Beast is saying Trump broke down into tears when he heard that. I mean, it’s bad. This is bad, Mark. I was wondering when… Okay, okay. Good Lord.
SPEAKER 04 :
End of satire. End of satire.
SPEAKER 05 :
We’re starting to… Well, I mean, they’re so pathetic. And how about them repeating the F word over and over again?
SPEAKER 04 :
I know. They think that’s effective. I mean, person after person after person said, I hope my child doesn’t hear me say this, but we just have to F Trump. It’s like, what? Guess what?
SPEAKER 05 :
Your child heard it, dummy. I mean, you’re all over the news. Although, on the other hand, now I have to admit, we’ve got some PG-13 stuff. They’re R-rated. We’re PG-13. I had to call my boss and say, look, Elon Musk changed his Twitter handle. And… Yes, he did. And he forced Dana Bash and others at MSNBC to recite the name. And Phil said, well, look, my rule always is. You’re going to spell it? Well, I wouldn’t even spell it because here’s what he said.
SPEAKER 04 :
I will spell it. Elon changed his Twitter handle. Well, spell it the way Elon spelled it. To a guy with a first name of Harry and the last name B-O-L-Z, right? Correct. And so one knows how that would be pronounced.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, it’s kind of the European pronunciation. We’ve got a booze. But that’s the sophisticated way. And Dana Bash read it. He got them to do it. He’s like Lucy with the football with Charlie Brown. He was trolling these dopes like Dana Bash. And she looks into the camera with this constipated look on her face. And she said, yesterday, Elon Musk. Who changed his screen name. And it’s like, she read it. She said it out loud. Of course. I mean, then I had to ask Phil Boyce. Well, Anderson Cooper, the Vanderbilt heir, turns to Chris Sununu.
SPEAKER 04 :
Chris Sununu, mind you, who has been dragged slowly into Trump world. But go ahead. Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 05 :
So he’s taken Anderson out to the woodshed pointing out, wait a minute, the Trump administration is so transparent, they’re answering every question. And Anderson Cooper said, well, they’re 91 million, you know, for migrants.
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s not confirmed.
SPEAKER 05 :
from it didn’t really all it didn’t really all go for and and so kristen says oh you mean the 91 million they discovered went to the hotel rooms for migrants in new york city and anderson cooper got so flustered and says don’t be a blank and i don’t be a d don’t be a d word yeah the d word All right, yeah, don’t be a Richard. That’s good. I can say that, I guess. I mean, these guys got nothing. Mark, I have to ask you something. Aren’t you astounded that they’ve got nothing right now, that they’ve got no concerted plan, that they’ve got no counterpunch, that they’ve got no effect? Is it possible that what Trump is doing is so overwhelmingly, epically effective that they just can’t keep up and they can’t stop it?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, and here’s the element that makes it possible. The left has been full of it for decades. Their ideas have been garbage for decades. We have had the occasional successful communication operation in conservatism. There’s never been anything like Trump. But you know what else we’re seeing for the very, very first time? First of all, his team, magnificent communicators. Look at Pam Bondi. Look at him.

SPEAKER 04 :
Vance up against these chortling idiots. So you have that. But you know what the X factor is? You know what the thing that’s been missing that we finally have? The willingness of the American public. The American public seems to have come around. Even the public has said, yeah, I guess we don’t like wasteful Washington spending. But then somebody says, well, let’s cut it. They go, you’re trying to kill grandma. Stop it. For the first time in your life and mine, and we’ve been around for a while, the public finally seems ready to accept solutions like these.
SPEAKER 05 :
I think you’re right. I mean, I’m really watching this and thinking, I mean, yesterday was such an extraordinary moment where there was Elon with his little boy, little X, crawling around the Resolute desk and having a ball. Yep. And there was Trump smiling and Elon Musk is answering every question. And it was such a it was such a refreshing moment because at one point they called Elon Musk out. Apparently, it was technically incorrect. It wasn’t 50 million for condoms. Evidently, there was some aspect of that. And Elon Musk said, you know what? I’m going to make mistakes. We’re going to get things wrong. We’ve got so much going on. We’re going to we’re going to air me when we do. Tell me what I do and we’ll fix it. And then I’ll correct it.
SPEAKER 04 :
My gosh, no politician talks that way. As opposed to, let’s take a look at the Biden mistakes. Joe Biden comes out and says there are 37 genders. Anybody stepping in and saying that’s wrong would have been pilloried, vilified, condemned. I mean, Democrat lies go unchecked. And in fact, they get lifted and enabled by a willing media culture. So, yeah, this. Who?
SPEAKER 05 :
Who doesn’t love a public figure saying, yep, I got that one wrong. You got to call me out on it. They are all about transparency. How do you push back against eliminating government waste? Here’s the cover of the New York Post. The jihad bill. Here’s how bad USAID got. It once paid for a terrorist’s college tuition. USAID funded Anwar al-Awlaki’s Colorado State University education as part of the tuition program for foreigners. He went on, of course, to be killed. He’s one of the worst terrorists on the radar. USAID paid for him. Now, that’s how bad it got. That’s how runaway. And there are people on the I know some people on the Beltway. Oh, this is terrible. Children are going to die. There’s going to be no more AIDS funding. You got to keep the philanthropic aspects of USAID. But my gosh, if you don’t see how broken a bureaucracy is that is funding terrorists. supporting Hamas. And look, Victor Davis Hanson broke this down brilliantly last night. I’m going to play it on my show today, where he says, let’s get some basics here. John F. Kennedy signed USAID into existence with an executive order. Donald Trump signed Doge into existence with an executive order. They are perfectly constitutional, plausible, legal, legitimate things to do. They got nothing. And let me, you know, I’m at a point right now where I’m feeling like I got to avoid. wallowing in the in the in the nastiness of the left but i do think it’s bare it bears repeating how desperate they are here’s this beautiful moment yesterday trump elon little x in the oval office answering every reporter’s question dealing with everything with transparency you want to know what the msnbc takeaway was of that press conference you want to know what laurence o’donnell called it and the daily beast of course is excitedly running with this Trump was humiliated in the most powerless image ever of a U.S. president. By what?
SPEAKER 04 :
Because he was sitting down.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, sitting down and Elon standing. And the little boy is running around. And Trump was, according to the Daily Beast and MSNBC, humiliated in the most powerless. Oh, yeah, real humiliation. They got nothing, Mark.
SPEAKER 04 :
And this is funny because doesn’t this run counter to the notion that Trump is an egomaniac and makes everything about him? That’s right. He gladly steps aside and allows people whom he has wisely selected to enact his agenda to let them have the spotlight, let them have some glory, let them get some positive attention because it’s all to the good of what he wants to do to, one could say, make America great again.
SPEAKER 05 :
Rich Lowry on social media posted a picture of Trump smiling and gazing at Elon and little X. And Rich wrote… He captioned the picture, certainly looks like a self-coup or something equally sinister could be imminent. I mean, that’s how stupid. All we can do is laugh at the Lawrence O’Donnells, Mark. That’s all that’s left to do.
SPEAKER 04 :
And all I can do is notice a couple of other things because you’re totally right because you mentioned Rich Lowry with that wonderful bit of analysis there. You mentioned Chris Sununu defending Trump on that CNN panel. These are two guys who not so very long ago hated Trump’s guys, not hated Trump’s guys, were those Republican virtue signaling weasels who just could not get on board. Well, they’re on board now. And by the way, for everybody that’s been late to the party, I just have one word, welcome. I’m not going to badger anybody. Five years ago, you didn’t like him. Seven years ago, you didn’t like him. Glad they came around.
SPEAKER 05 :
Let me give you another example. Meghan McCain. Does anybody hate Trump more than the way, all right, well, listen to what Meghan McCain wrote last night. A more winning Trump brought back Mark Fogle, a guy who was wrongfully detained in Russia for years. And last night in the Oval Office, there was a ceremony and Trump had promised the family, I’m going to get him home. Meghan McCain last night posted on X. Why couldn’t Biden bring Mark Fogle home? The man was in prison over three years and Trump took just three weeks to do it. She asks, why was Biden unable or unwilling to make it happen? I genuinely want the answer here. Well, Megan, it’s a new welcome to the party, a new world.
SPEAKER 04 :
Welcome to the party. It brings to mind, Mike, a question that I could ask you that I would ask the public and ask all of our listeners. I would ask everyone, every Republican, every Democrat, every listener. I would ask them in musical form. Which side are you on? Oh, I love it. Which side are you on? And I like it. Off key. And sing it a little bit off key, too.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, my gosh. Which side are you on? These guys are miserable. Oh, they’re just there. And throw in the F word a few times, and you’ll really get somewhere. And today, more winning, Tulsi Gabbard. uh uh uh cash patel senate vote right is she’s coming they’re getting confirmed mark they’re gonna get confirmed this is happening and they were the two that i was most worried about it looks now like all the votes are in the counted as far as everybody knows troublemakers not enough not enough troublemakers and they win this is what winning feels like which uh f you f you My name is Richard Harry.
SPEAKER 04 :
Don’t be a D. Harry B. Harry Testicles. Goodbye. Oh, great. He got it in. He went there, kids. He went there. Mike Gallagher, available. That’s a biological term. Of course it is. It’s medical. My doctor says that. It’s medical.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s anatomy. It’s how the doctor says it. Here comes Mike.
