Mike Gallagher. Every day, Mike visits with Mark Davis. Morning host on 660 AM, The Answer in Dallas. Here’s today’s M&M experience.
SPEAKER 04 :
Vivek Ramaswamy. What happened to Vivek? He’s bowing out of Doge. It was going to be Elon and Vivek. And he all of a sudden says, no, Elon will do fine. I’m stepping away. The buzz for a couple of days was that it was to run for governor of Ohio, which I think would be awesome. And God bless governor of any big, important state. That doesn’t seem like the most riveting and compelling thing for a personality as big and a national figure as big as Vivek. So I don’t know. What do you think?
SPEAKER 03 :
I think he got in trouble because of that interview he gave where he talked about other workers. Yep, the H-1 visa, that whole thing. Because it was after that that he sort of fell out of the spotlight. Look, there’s no way he’s saying, I’m going to leave the Trump administration to mull a run for Ohio governor. Come on. No, there’s more to that story. So, all right, turn the page.
SPEAKER 04 :
So who got frosted?
SPEAKER 03 :
Elon? Trump? Well, I think Trump did. I think Trump said, maybe, I don’t want that kind of fallout already. I don’t know. You know, Trump is funny about this. Reportedly, he doesn’t like people grabbing the spotlight away or making headlines unless he’s sort of large and in charge. I mean, there’s no question. He’s the boss.
SPEAKER 04 :
One of my favorite things, and this is largely a hater narrative, is that J.D. Vance is just so doggone awesome that he will start to grate on Trump before too much longer. I don’t believe that for a minute.
SPEAKER 03 :
And I don’t believe it either. But Elon is going to be an interest. That was the other thing I wanted to ask you about in our lightning rod here on a Friday. I think you mean lightning round, don’t you? I know, I did. It’s the computers. I’m still learning the tabs. Hold on. Let me change my tab here on my MacBook, my lone little MacBook. All right. How about Elon kind of contradicting Trump this week about the artificial intelligence AI infrastructure bill? Did you see that? Elon tweeted out, well, the money isn’t there. Well, the money is there. They just got $500 billion from Saudi Arabia. So, look, you got two A personalities. There’s been a lot of speculation that they’re going to clash at some point. And I don’t like Elon contradicting Trump. Trump stands up there and gives a press conference with Ellison and all these other guys. And then Elon turns around and says, well, the money’s not there. It’s not that big a deal. You don’t tell the boss, who thinks it’s a big deal… It’s not a big deal.
SPEAKER 04 :
But Elon does not view Trump as the boss. So you got that.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, that’s what – oh, okay, Daily Beast. Well, he doesn’t. No, you’re right.
SPEAKER 04 :
I think Elon views himself as a private sector partner with Trump. And by the way, Trump is fine with most days. I’d like to think that everybody gets over it. Because I would have also liked to think that if Vivek, for those who don’t know, Vivek came out with the H-1B thesis and said, listen, part of the reason we do kind of really need top flight talent from around the world is that American pipelines for STEM, for science and engineering and math, just aren’t filled with enough talent. There aren’t enough people in America interested in the discipline and the devotion to excellence to do that. And by the way, he’s not totally wrong about that. But about that, I feel about the way to do about other things. Give Americans the chance and the motivation and let’s see how many Americans we can find. And I think.

SPEAKER 03 :
Well, I’m going to give some unsolicited advice to Elon Musk. If he doesn’t really think Donald Trump is the boss, reconsider your thinking because he is the boss. Yeah, refocus and you need to pivot.
SPEAKER 02 :
All right.
SPEAKER 03 :
Now, how about another one? How about Trump ordering the declassification of the JFK, RFK, MLK files? Yep. Now, my kid calls me yesterday, my MAGA son. He said, Dad, what do you think? This is going to be big. This is going to be huge. And why do I think it’s not going to be that big a deal? Because it’s not. Do you?
SPEAKER 04 :
Because it’s just not. First of all, do I like it? Sure. Declassify everything that doesn’t need to be classified. I think there’s a lot of tinfoil hat conspiracy folks who, and by the way, who are not always wrong, that from the JFK, especially the JFK, to the RFK. And this is so weird. This was in our youth. These three massive historic assassinations took place within four and a half years. It’s incredible to remember the turmoil caused by that from JFK to Bobby Kennedy to Dr. King. And around all of those, there’s going to be the supposition that there’s all kinds of things that we just don’t know, which, by the way, is probably true. Will we ever know? I don’t know. But the notion that the opening of these files will somehow yield some bombshell, I’m going to join you in betting not. But if it does…
SPEAKER 03 :
We’ll talk about it. Well, let’s let the game come to us, as you like to say. You know, the big conspiracy theory about that day in Dallas from people these days, they think that it’s going to be revealed that the driver of the limousine shot him. Now, I’m going to go out on a limb here, and I’m going to say if the driver of JFK’s vehicle turned around and shot him, somebody might have noticed that.
SPEAKER 04 :
I’m feeling Abraham Zapruder’s camera might have picked that up.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, but that’s what they’re using. They’re using the Zapruder film, and they’re, like, freeze-framing it, and the driver, like, what the driver did was look back when the poor man’s head came off, you know? I mean, everybody was looking back, but, I mean, that’s the theory. All right, so, you know, turn the page on that. How about this one? Okay.
SPEAKER 04 :
He’s not done. You know what? While we’re in conspiracy land, can I— I’ve got a whole list for you.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’ve got a list.
SPEAKER 04 :
Can I wrestle one and go from things of enormous historical import to things that are just kind of silly? The conspiracy thing of the week surrounding why we haven’t seen a lot of Michelle Obama. Have you heard this one?
SPEAKER 03 :
I have. That the marriage is on the outs. Because Barack is about to take up with— Jennifer Aniston. OK, didn’t have that on my bingo card either.
SPEAKER 04 :
And we’re in an era when nothing can be dismissed and almost nothing can be said as a zero possibility. But just to keep everybody’s mental health, put a pin in that. There is zero reason to believe that’s true. Absolutely zero reason. So put a pin in it until there’s maybe a reason, unless they’re till they’re seen together shopping on Rodeo Drive. But but until then, so.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, you never, look, as I always say, if winged monkeys swept down and flew me away, I wouldn’t be surprised about the things that happen in this crazy world of ours.
SPEAKER 04 :
Back to your list. What else you got?
SPEAKER 03 :
Lightning rod or round. That’s right. Representative Andy Ogles from Tennessee has drafted a constitutional amendment that would allow President Trump to run for a third term. However, here’s the best part. Here’s the best part of this goofy story. Here’s the funniest part of it. And incidentally, I’m all in.
SPEAKER 04 :
He’ll outlive all of us. He’ll be 107 going, I’m ready for five more. I’m ready. Let’s go.
SPEAKER 03 :
Let’s do it. He’s not going. I mean, he’s the only 70-something-year-old that’s going in the opposite direction of age. He’s younger now. He looks younger now than he did 10 years ago. I mean, the man goes from morning till night. However, the measure is worded to prevent Barack Obama, George W. Bush, or Bill Clinton from being able to return. How do you do that? It’s the way it’s worded. No person, since Obama, Bush, it’s only for presidents who didn’t serve two consecutive terms.
SPEAKER 02 :
Okay, gotcha. All right.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay, but hey, what the heck, a man can dream. And then finally, on a serious note, I just, Ken Paxton announced that the states have reached a settlement with the dreaded Sackler family of Purdue Pharma. $7.4 billion. And everybody wants to vilify this family that owns the pharmaceutical company. And Mark, am I the only person that struggles with the fact, okay, they own a pharmaceutical company. Pharmaceutical company comes up with pain relief plans. you know, drugs. People take pain relief drugs. People start abusing pain relief drugs. Maybe physicians abuse the dispensing of the prescriptions. But why is that the manufacturer’s fault?
SPEAKER 04 :
Blaming the bartender for drunk driving.
