In this episode, we hear the raw and emotional testimony of Patty Morin, who takes the media to task over biased reporting on illegal immigration crimes. Mike and Mark uncover the layers of controversy surrounding Carmelo Anthony’s unjust heroization and discuss Letitia James’s political conduct as New York’s Attorney General. The episode wraps up with a reflective look at the state of immigration under recent governmental changes and its profound impact on the American border.
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. Somebody’s feeling better today.
SPEAKER 05 :
Lord knows I’m ready to put on those leg warmers and dance just like Jennifer Beal.
SPEAKER 04 :
Atta boy.
SPEAKER 05 :
Let’s not do that.
SPEAKER 04 :
Welcome back. We miss you. Thank you. Thank you, Dolly. Well, but what a time to be alive. And I’m, you know, it’s hard to miss a day. I’m just reading Kurt Schlichter over at Town Hall. Isn’t that the best? He’s so good. And the column is entitled, How the Democrats Choose to Be on the Side of Weirdness and Against Normal People Every Single Time. Dysfunctionality, crime. Yep. They’re literally on the side of the guy who, look, the Trump administration baited Democrats into supporting this guy, this illegal from El Salvador. And it’s a masterclass in how to bait the other side, and they fell for it. And now it turns out, now it’s being revealed that this guy, a horrible guy, I mean, the wife on two different occasions was begging for a protection of order because he’s so violent and vicious and awful. It turns out that the police stopped him and he was with gang members. There’s all kinds of evidence coming out.
SPEAKER 05 :
Mike, how can that be possible? How can that be possible? He’s Maryland dad. All the smart kids tell me that he had no affiliation with MS-13 at all. Maryland dad. He’s clean as a whistle. He’s a Maryland dad.
SPEAKER 04 :
Forget Marlboro, man. This is the Maryland dad. The Maryland dad. And he’s not a Maryland dad, by the way. He’s an El Salvador man. He’s from El Salvador. And they’re lying about… At one point, somebody called, you can’t put Americans into an El Salvador prison. He’s not an American. Period. I mean, but Democrats will always side against normal people. They always side with those who wish us good. Ill. Look, here’s what Kurt writes, and I wanted to share this with you. Did you see the column yet? It’s so good.
SPEAKER 05 :
I did indeed. All right, here’s what he says.
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s perfect. The left could choose to be on the side of normal Americans who would prefer not to be raped and or murdered by illegal aliens who shouldn’t be here in the first place, but… The establishment left, backs the illegal aliens who shouldn’t be here in the first place, even to the point of wanting them imported back into the United States after we finally got rid of them. Think about that. They not only don’t want the people gone who’ve done us so much harm, they want them back. Under Biden, they were literally flying them into the country. Again, normal Americans have made it quite clear that we would prefer that illegals who shouldn’t be here shouldn’t be here. But no, the establishment left. As they always do, Mark, they take the side of the third world gang members and against the citizens of America. If they ever figure this out, we’ll be in trouble. If they ever become self-aware. But keep it coming. Keep doing it. Please keep it coming. Did you see Patty Morin yesterday at the White House?
SPEAKER 05 :
That is the voice I mentioned earlier that the Trump team is so good at communication, but sometimes private citizens with their testimony are even more powerful than the best Pam Bondi, the best… the best Caroline Leavitt, the best Trump himself, when she talks about what happened to her daughter. Now, this is an actual Maryland woman up in Bel Air, up by the Pennsylvania border. Her daughter viciously strangled on a hiking path. Raped, strangled.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, my gosh.
SPEAKER 05 :
Horrific. So Patty comes in and tells the White House press corps, could you guys please tell the truth? Could you guys please bring some balance to your coverage of stories like these? She reamed her state senators, Chris Van Hollen, for making this trip.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, her state senator, yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
Her state senator. center, exactly.
SPEAKER 04 :
Her state center, right. I mean, Mark, it brought tears to everybody’s eyes. In fact, if you saw it, the press briefing room was stunned into silence, and Caroline afterwards said, do you have any questions for her or me? Nobody said a word. They couldn’t. They were stunned into submission.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m actually going to play this right after the 8 o’clock news because she finishes up, and then this room full of jackals who have done their part to lift up this monster as a hero, said, we’re sorry for your loss. We’re sorry for your loss. And I always give benefit of the doubt to people. And I think that at least in that moment, they were sort of shocked and scolded into some form of reality. I don’t think it will change the coverage anytime soon.
SPEAKER 04 :
Speaking of giving benefit of the doubt, I keep thinking of you when I hear more details emerging of Carmelo Anthony and the escalade in the driveway and the $900,000 house in Frisco and the bodyguards. They’ve turned this kid into a celebrity. It is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. And it kind of goes back to the Kurt Schlichter theme about the way the left… you know, goes against normal Americans. Normal Americans say, look, two teenagers got into a fight. One of them pulled out a knife and killed the other one. Let it play out. You know, let the courts take over and we’ll see what happens. Instead, we’ve got a cottage industry. Do you know they’re developing merchandise for Carmelo Anthony? Like he’s an action figure. The free Mellow t-shirts were big there for a little while. Can I say something awful that’s going to be jarring, but I got to get it off my chest?
SPEAKER 05 :
Please.
SPEAKER 04 :
I have a theory as to why so many on the left are making this kid a hero. Because he killed a white kid. He murdered a white kid, and you know what? That’s one less white kid that people have to deal with.
SPEAKER 05 :
Can I ask something, though? Because who on the left has made him a hero? What I hear is family members, folks who are in his camp, folks who are allied with him. I hear activism sort of from the fringes of social media doing this. I haven’t seen a major or even a local media narrative that has gone along with it to lift him up as some kind of figure.
SPEAKER 04 :
I know that they’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in a GoFundMe for him, and that isn’t just activists. I have a feeling there’s a whole lot of people on the left who say, you know, it’s almost like the jury nullification of OJ Simpson. You know that there were jurors who know he killed Ron and Nicole, and they said, well, we’ve got to right the wrongs of the past. It’s almost as if…

SPEAKER 04 :
People get to say, well, look at that. Let’s chalk one up for our side. It’s almost unthinkable. And yet, what a week we’ve had, Mark. Look at Letitia James. Yes. my lord mortgage fraud what is she in trouble for the new york ag oh mortgage fraud she claimed that she was married to her father to get better mortgage terms and she claimed that her primary residence was a home in virginia while she was a new york prosecutor now mark these are serious criminal offenses but here’s the irony of it all that’s literally what she went after trump over oh you Remember the overvaluing Mar-a-Lago and real estate? So now she allegedly was practicing the same crimes that she falsely accused Trump of. And remember something. Never forget this. Never forget. Her complete… sole campaign promise when she was running for AG was, I’m going to get Trump.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m going to get Trump.
SPEAKER 04 :
I’m going to get him. I’m going to get… Did you hear her speech that surfaced yesterday? Christian, can we play this for Mark? This is about 30 seconds. This is what you sound like when you are a cornered, wounded individual, when you are backed into the corner and you know that the wheels are about to come off. Listen to what she said to some group yesterday.
SPEAKER 02 :
My mission is clear. I’m focused. I’m prepared. I’m ready. I’ve been trained by the best. I went to Howard University. that overturned legal segregation in this country. I’ve been taught in those classrooms what Thurgood Marshall once taught. I’m not afraid of no president. Donald Trump, we’re ready for you. We’re coming for you. We’re standing up for you. We’re fighting on. We’re not going down silent. Victory, my friends, is clear. It’s now. And I’m not waiting four years. I’m waiting two. Until a speaker by the name of Hakeem Jeffries comes to bring us some rest. Come on, ladies. It’s up to us. We saved this democracy before. We’ll save it now. Let’s go.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s the attorney general of the state of New York, Mark.
SPEAKER 05 :
Am I wrong or is she attempting to wrap her fetid, stench-filled, corrupted life in the honorable cloth of Thurgood Marshall and the anti-segregation battles of the 50s? Surely she would not attempt to do that.
SPEAKER 04 :
You’ve got to play the race card. When you’re up against the wall, the best you’ve got is maybe Hakeem Jeffries will come to my rescue. And she’s really hoping for that. She’s figuring that maybe Congress can stop Trump. They’re running out of options. Saturday is going to be another day of protests. There will be protests all throughout Dallas and Fort Worth. I love that. And, you know, go ahead. I don’t mind. Go march around. It’s America. Take a sign and say Trump’s the bad guy, orange man bad. What are you trying to accomplish?
SPEAKER 05 :
Speaking of things people have the right to do, you and I would agree that the elected officials have the right to run down on taxpayer-paid junkets to El Salvador to try to get this guy out, right? When Chris Van Hollen was on his way down there, did you think there was a possible chance they might hand him over and let him bring him back?
SPEAKER 04 :
In 2025, anything is possible. Exactly.
SPEAKER 05 :
You better believe it. Which led me to tweet as follows. And I would say this to anybody. Let’s say the fifth or sixth or 23rd Democrat who goes down there, they finally go, okay, whatever, take him. I do not believe that an aircraft containing Kilmar Arrego Garcia should be allowed back into American airspace.
SPEAKER 04 :
I’ll totally agree with you. Listen, I’ll do you one better.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m not saying shoot it down. Well, don’t shoot it down. We divert it to wherever you want.
SPEAKER 04 :
Nope, nope. Divert it out. I mean, but Mark, who paid for that trip? Thank you. The American taxpayers evidently paid for Chris Van Hollen’s very expensive photo op. He went there making a fool of himself. It was an utter disaster. I mean, you had to know. I mean, in the White House the other day, the president of El Salvador said, we can’t. What are we going to do? abduct him and spirit him into the United States?
SPEAKER 05 :
I love this guy.
SPEAKER 04 :
I do too. But Chris Van Hollen knew what he said.
SPEAKER 05 :
He knew he wasn’t going to get him back. But he figured he would do the posturing anyway because the posturing has its own value. Even foreign leaders are getting better. Prime Minister Maloney in Italy, I got a little clip of her. Go find it. She’s basically saying with that wonderful Italian accent, They said that electing a conservative would be terrible. They were wrong. We are keeping our people safe. Migration is lower than it’s been in years. And our economy, it is thriving. By the way, she is so awesome. And this is Italy, a country that knows a little something about fashion.
SPEAKER 04 :
And speaking of immigration and illegal crossings, the biggest story of the year. You’ve got to look at the numbers. Nobody’s talking about it. The numbers right now at our border have plummeted to almost zero. I talked to a Border Patrol agent yesterday who works along the Texas-Mexican border. He said, Mike, it’s an entirely different world. Thank God for President Trump. Thank God he won. Thank God he won. And the Border Patrol agent said, our morale is so energized. Because we were demoralized under Biden, he said. And now they’re getting to do their job. It’s easier to stop the ones that are trying to. It’s amazing. We are in such a good place. And I’ll think about that number when those fools are marching around Saturday with their signs. I don’t know what they’re up to. And let AOC and Bernie… I guess they’re setting themselves up for a presidential run. What will Bernie be, 97? I mean, good for him and good for her. But, you know, let’s just dig in and appreciate where we are. I appreciate you so much. I’ll be thinking of you this week. That’s right.
SPEAKER 05 :
We don’t talk again until Monday because you’re doing Good Friday off tomorrow. That’s perfect. That is great. So enjoy a full three-day holiest of weekends. And we’ll miss you tomorrow and be back together with you on Monday. And we’ll be listening to you today.
SPEAKER 04 :
Glad you’re feeling better.
SPEAKER 05 :
Love you. Take care, Mark. Thank you, man. I sure am. I sure am. The Eminem segment always makes me feel better.
