SPEAKER 01 : 0:00

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 03 : 0:10

And God bless you, my friend. How you doing? How’s it working out for you?

SPEAKER 02 : 0:13

44 hours in, you doing okay? Everything good? Look, when I watched President Trump tell Peter Alexander from NBC, stop interrupting me, I thought, we’re so back. And Peter Alexander said, you’re right, I apologize, sir. I loved it. Just incredible. Look, It’s hard to believe that we’re back, but we are back in a major way. And gosh, he is, as promised, shock and awe. I mean, it’s a fire hose of, you know, DEI firings. Birthright citizenship, gone. Green New Deal, gone. Hostages coming home. Lake and Riley Act passed. I mean, Marco Rubio, I’m a little nervous, 99 to nothing. Whoa. I mean, that was great. But on the other hand, why do the Democrats like him? Makes me nervous. Either. OK, listen, that’s a natural.

SPEAKER 03 : 1:05

That’s a natural conservative instinct. It’s a natural talk radio instinct. Wait a minute. If a Democrat thinks it’s OK, it must be terrible, which, by the way, often works. I think this, though, is that they just have. They have no arrow in their quiver. It’s not Pete Hegseth who has a couple of things you can go after. It’s not RFK Jr. who has a couple of things you can go after.

SPEAKER 02 : 1:30

It’s just so obvious. Let’s talk about Pete Hegseth for a moment. So NBC runs with a hit piece yesterday. I saw it. He was allegedly abusive towards his second wife. They go to the wife and she said, nope, not true. Your information is wrong. No, he wasn’t. But there’s a sister-in-law who’s got an ax to grind. And so, you know, look, anybody who’s been through divorce and it is a tough, awful thing for everybody involved, there can be awful things that are said during a contentious divorce. And that’s what this seems to be. But if the wife is not willing to say there was anything, why not believe her? Oh, no, that doesn’t slow NBC down. So they do the hit piece. Oh, the sister-in-law. And you know what the sister-in-law said? Did you see her quote? Her line was, I was assured that if I brought this forward, senators who are on the fence about confirming him will vote against him.

SPEAKER 03 : 2:30

So it’s about her. She’s making it about her.

SPEAKER 02 : 2:32

Mark, that was exactly what she said. I was assured that if I tell my story, the ones on the fence will vote against him. It is all about her pound of flesh. Oh. And it’s sickening. And I look, I’m now I’m real invested in hoping that he gets in. Absolutely.

SPEAKER 03 : 2:52

Just because so much of it is because these people are inherently good, inherently valuable, real change agents for the better. And but the other part is just listen, I call it what you want. Own the libs, accountability, reckoning. I am loving it, loving it, loving it. OK, we got two little micro stories of sort of Trump 2.0 little snapshots. I’m going to give you the choice of which one to do first. We may have slightly different takes. I don’t know. Do you want to do the liberal bakery in Flower Mound or the so-called prayer service? Which one you want to do first?

SPEAKER 02 : 3:23

Let’s talk about the prayer service. President Trump tore into this. I just played the Bishop Marianne Booty. And Trump ripped into her, of course, on Truth Social. He said the so-called bishop who spoke at the prayer service was a radical left hardline Trump hater, and all of that is true. But her message—and I’m going to get in trouble on this, because it reminds me of the time when a Broadway cast— lectured Mike Pence from the stage. For me, it’s the same exact story, and I got in trouble back then, too, because I wasn’t really bothered by that exchange, and let me tell you why. When the cast members, when Mike Pence brought his daughters and whatever to see a show, and this was right after the election, And they gave him the same kind of lecture. We’re afraid. Please be mindful of us. Blah, blah, blah, blah. First of all, he stood there and listened to every word. He did not walk out like he could have because it was at the curtain call. It would have been real easy for him to leave. He listened to every word. And then he turned to his daughter and famously said, this is what democracy sounds like. And I thought that is such a magnificent moment. Whatever you think of Mike Pence, the fact that he acknowledged dissent and recognized that there are people in the country who don’t like our agenda. Just like we don’t like their agenda, they don’t like ours. And we shouldn’t be afraid to hear them. And Trump isn’t afraid of dissent. That’s why he stands in a press room and loves to go toe to toe with all of them. So this bishop, while you could argue all day long, and I get it, it was inappropriate to do it in church. How was she not vetted? But her message at a church pulpit was, Mr. President, please have mercy and compassion. And you know something, Mark, that’s nothing wrong with there’s nothing wrong with that. And Trump’s a big boy and he can take it.

SPEAKER 03 : 5:23

It is enormously right. You need me so desperately right now, as you did when you covered for this ridiculous cast lecturing Mike Pence from a Broadway stage. First of all, wrapping yourself in prayer in a pulpit is vastly different. But let’s return to how horribly wrong you were in that Broadway example where they they excuse me, bitched at Mike Pence. Did he gracefully take it? This is back when we all liked Mike Pence. Yes, he did. Yes, he did. And you’re right. He turned a negative into a positive. That should absolutely never have happened. If you want to go out the back theater door and talk about what a dog you think Mike Pence is, knock yourself out. To do that was unbelievably rude and a perversion of free speech. Just because you have the right to say something doesn’t mean you should. Ditto, especially for Five times over on steroids with this bishop who chose to wrap herself in the word of God while lecturing the president and vice president. Of course, we should all be compassionate, Mike. Of course, we should all behave in scriptural, brotherly, sisterly ways. Of course, you’re a thousand percent right. But the supposition of this political screed from this bishop. From this bishop was that you guys, your positions are bad. Your positions are evil. You are evil because she believes that the only way to be right and the only way to be moral is to think there are 47 genders and to let every single human being with a pulse across the border. Screw her. It was terrible. And you need to open your eyes to that a little bit.

SPEAKER 02 : 6:53

Well, you’re not going to try to force me to feel the way you do about something, but I’m not going to argue with you. I totally understand completely your position.

SPEAKER 01 : 7:02

I understand you, too.

SPEAKER 02 : 7:03

And I know I’m swimming upstream on this, and I’m sure I’ll get a lot of flack for it, but it’s how I feel. First of all, and for the record, and again, don’t take this as an argument, you’re interpreting what she said. She didn’t say any of the things you said she said. She did not say any of the things you said she said. Why?

SPEAKER 03 : 7:20

Mike, don’t be this dumb. A member of the clergy talking about, oh, the LGBTQ people, they are scared to death. Of what? Of you, Mr. Trump. Of you, Mr. Vance. And giving us this lecture of how wonderful all the illegals are. That’s an attack on them. Come on.

SPEAKER 02 : 7:41

Mark, that’s what she said was, I ask you to have mercy on those who are in fear, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It presumes that their conservatism is something from which people deserve mercy. You’re presuming that. Darn right I am. And make no mistake, you’re completely correct. I know exactly who she is. She has been on record as bashing him before. She is a far left. And incidentally, there’s an interesting, I think, issue about the Episcopal Church and what it has turned into. That’s a whole difference. And look, you could say that about Methodist churches, too. Indeed so. So that’s another issue altogether. Again, I’m not even going to disagree with you, Mark. I understand you.

SPEAKER 03 : 8:24

Let’s flip the script. Let’s flip the script. Here’s one where you might be a little more red meat than me. And I described this in the first half as well. The ultra-liberal Hive Bakery and Flour Man, they went off on MAGA people in their community. So apparently what was happening is that they were getting a bunch of calls ordering cakes. Hey, You guys do a MAGA cake. And you know what the source material is of this. It’s all the bakers that got calls from people to do transgender reveals and gay weddings that they didn’t want to do. And did they have a First Amendment right to refuse that business? I believe. they did you believe they did the court system is generally believe they did so I think this bakery kind of got trolled by a lot of people who said hey make me 37 MAGA cakes and people had no intention of coming by they just wanted to put their shiv in the ribs of the liberal bakery that having been said this speaking of a screed here’s the lady who owns the bakery who writes as follows and I’ll hand it to you Mike Gallagher I’ve received multiple phone calls, emails, and DMs from MAGA and our community asking us to make Trump cakes. It’s always the response we get when we post liberal baked goods. It’s never surprising. They don’t really want to order anything. It’s just about harassment. All these bogus inquiries came this week. Therefore, we denied all the requests, not because it’s Trumpy ass they want made, but because we’re booked up for weeks. Custom work requires notice. They love to cry about it, pretend they’ve been denied because we discriminate. It’s a lie. They love to tell people we charge higher prices for Trump stuff. That’s a lie. They love to whine and complain and harass and taunt and belittle and fabricate and pollute everything they touch. That’s who these people are. And we’re so thankful they never visit Hive Bakery. even though the criminal they voted for one, they still come for us like children, the schoolyard insults. It’s never enough. They’re bullies. The people who reside here in this town are garbage. Feel free to sift through the comments on your own. You’ll see them at the end of the day. We’re just a booked up bakery hustling to be the best around. And these people aren’t fit to lick our spoons. Wow. So last thing is I hand it to you. Uh, it, I think if you take the high ground, she could have scored more points, but she hates them as much as some of the ragtag people hate her. So this was just so unnecessary. Let me offer it up to you.

SPEAKER 02 : 10:42

What’s your thought on the bake? I’m confused by it, to be honest with you, and I don’t think we have any disagreement. This lady, who apparently owns a bakery in Flower Mound, says… that the people who live in Flower Mound are garbage. Now, explain that to me. You’re in business to sell a product.

SPEAKER 03 : 10:58

Well, the people, the specific people who have come after her and who have been taunting her.

SPEAKER 02 : 11:02

Well, is that what she means? I mean, I didn’t get that.

SPEAKER 03 : 11:05

These people. She’s been talking about the people who have been giving them online.

SPEAKER 02 : 11:09

Read that sentence again, if you don’t mind.

SPEAKER 03 : 11:11

Even though they still come at us like children with schoolyard insults. Read the line about the people who are garbage. These people… People she just referred to, these people who reside here in this town are absolute garbage. Because obviously, plenty of libs in Flower Mound Visitor, and she loves them.

SPEAKER 02 : 11:27

It just strikes me as such a peculiarity to own something. You’re in the customer service business, and you want to spit all over probably more than half of the community. You know, you only want to serve… cupcakes to a fraction of because it’s flour mound it’s this is not exactly berkeley and so i i just don’t get it i wonder and i always wonder about this and i’m sure they’re getting a nor just like the bishop is getting enormous pushback i guarantee you this bakery is getting enormous pushback right now and i don’t i don’t know why they opt to do why anybody would opt to do this does the does she have the right not to make a mega cake

SPEAKER 03 : 12:05

Yeah, absolutely. She doesn’t want to make a mock. Just imagine if God help us, Kamala had one. Could you would we be speaking up in favor of a conservative bakery saying, you know, we just we just.

SPEAKER 02 : 12:19

But it’s not a right. It’s not a rights issue. It’s why would you intentionally alienate a community? Why do you do that? I mean, because is the flack worth it? I guarantee you she’s having a bad day right now. Guaranteed. Is she?

SPEAKER 03 : 12:34

Because I think I think the answer to your to your question is I think they’ve they’ve occupied a lane. They have a niche that they are the lib Biden loving, Beto loving, rainbow flag loving bakery. And yeah, but nobody wants a bunch on that front.

SPEAKER 02 : 12:48

But nobody wants a bunch of angry residents blowing up your social media site and maybe calling your shop and all that. That’s a great point because they can be that political bakery without being so mean about it. Keep your head down and don’t be so nasty. And just because people are nasty to you, then you’re going to turn around and say, well, I’ll show them. Thank you. Exactly right. And there might be somebody in Flower Mound who happens to be a Trump supporter who likes the bakery. But by the way, they’ll never darken their door. Exactly. Ever.

SPEAKER 01 : 13:19

And a whole bunch of people.

SPEAKER 02 : 13:21

And so, you know, I look like like you always say, let the free market prevail. You get to go to whatever bakery. And I wish we had more time. I know we’re almost out. But gosh, these January 6th pardons. I’ve got a simple, very plain question. How many years should somebody go to jail for assault? Yeah. 20? And then if you’re going to say 20, then go talk about the cops who were assaulted after George Floyd.

SPEAKER 1 : 13:48

100%.

SPEAKER 02 : 13:48

That’s it. And that’s Trump’s point. Trump’s point is, look, you know, I’m sure Trump’s attitude is, I don’t like people fighting cops or breaking windows. Yep. But these people have already been in jail for years. How many more years are you going to – what about the guy that had the website, the dark website? He pardoned that guy. Do you know much about this story, Ross Ulbrecht? Yeah. Completely – that guy had two life sentences. Two – what, for a website that people misused? Right. Come on. And Trump is, and a lot of people are saying, praise God. So, you know, again, it’s going to be, but how about, I got chills. We’ve all had cancer in our life. Lord knows I’ve had loved ones that have been down that road, you know, too many times to think about. And there was Larry Ellison from Oracle and Trump on a podium yesterday talking about how AI can be successfully implemented to catch cancer. cancer early and save maybe millions of lives. AI scares me, but AI used the right way can be just an absolute godsend. And now here’s Trump investing in this huge AI infrastructure that could save lives by blood tests that AI can show early signs of cancer. What a time to be alive. What a time to be alive. A golden age, my friend. It is. So let me go get my licks and let me get my head taken off.

SPEAKER 03 : 15:14

Don’t even bring this up on your own show.

SPEAKER 02 : 15:15

Just don’t. I’m doing coffee cake recipes in my home today.

SPEAKER 03 : 15:18

That’s all I’m doing.

SPEAKER 02 : 15:20

I’m avoiding it like the plague.

SPEAKER 03 : 15:22

I love you.

SPEAKER 02 : 15:22

I’m going to be safe.
