SPEAKER 04 :
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 :
It was a mistake. And there’s no reason to get all upset. They’re going to be exercised over this as we would be if the shoe was on the other foot. I mean, Jessica Tarloff got her little dig in yesterday on The Five. I love the dynamic of a show like The Five. And here’s what I love about it. I always am fascinated by what they won’t cover. The Five didn’t touch this story with a 10-foot pole. And Jessica Tarloff wanted to. So in her first round, you know, they go through rounds and they ask, they do topics and then They all have rotating hosts. It’s kind of an interesting and it’s a very successful format, obviously. So Jessica couldn’t resist. She’s answering some question about, you know, I don’t know, college campuses. And then she got into this story. She added it on her own and she said, and I don’t ever want to hear another word about Hillary’s emails again.
SPEAKER 02 :
And seconds later.
SPEAKER 03 :
What do you mean, go?
SPEAKER 02 :
Seconds later, Jesse threw down about Hillary’s emails. Well, of course. And properly so, because when Hillary acid washes scrubs as people hammer it on phones, it’s on purpose. It is intentional subterfuge.
SPEAKER 03 :
I know.
SPEAKER 02 :
This appears to be a genuine human mistake on the part of an administration that absolutely is going to keep America safer than these jokers ever did. So you’ve got Hillary and Mayor Pete daring to step forward out of whatever cave he’s living in now to go, this is a major F-up. Have a seat, son. I’ll let you know what we need from you about national security.
SPEAKER 03 :
You’re right. But like Banshee said, two days, this thing is over, and we’re going to move on. Look, let’s be honest here. When you move fast, you break things. And things are getting broken. Mistakes are going to be made. I love the clip, and I’m going to find it. And I mentioned this to you yesterday, of Elon in the White House saying, look, we’re going to make mistakes. The key is when we do, we’ve got to own it. We’ve got to fix it. You’ve got to know about it. I have to admit, I was a little… Surprised at Pete Hegseth’s reaction.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, he comes on the plane and somebody asks him what’s going on when national security issues are being talked about in a way that allows a reporter to be added to the chat by mistake. And he immediately goes into an attack on Jeffrey Goldberg, which, by the way, he’s 100 percent right. Jeffrey Goldberg is a weasel. However, the story appears to be true, and maybe his better approach would have been what you’ve described, is to say, look, okay, if that wasn’t great, we’ll handle it, and blah, blah, blah. Anyway.
SPEAKER 03 :
You want to know what the worst part of this story, way bigger than any supposed threat to national security or whatever, the end of the world and everything. And here’s the biggest question. Why is Jeffrey Goldberg on anybody’s speed dial in the Trump administration? In other words, it suggests that there’s a relationship there, and this is a Trump-hating left publication. So, I mean, you know, that goes back to our often – Do you engage with the other side? Do you talk to reporters?
SPEAKER 02 :
Speaking of which, first of all, that was going to be my first answer to your point, is this administration will have a bunch of reporters in their contact list. Being reporters, most of them are going to hate this administration, but there’s going to be some communication. Speaking of communication, I know you love your text line and I love mine. On our text line yesterday, right after you and I finished yesterday, somebody had a little something they wanted me to ask you about having communication with the other side. And I had it in front of me, and I’m going to totally mess it up. How is it that Mike Gallagher yesterday gave us the large lecture on on we must connect with the other side and hear them and be open to them and hear their views, which, by the way, is a worthy point to be made.
SPEAKER 03 :
Which is, incidentally, a total mischaracterization of what I said.
SPEAKER 02 :
But go ahead. That’s not what I said. It’s the same schizo Mike Gallagher who mere days earlier was headstrong hammering anybody who thought it was a good idea for Gavin Newsom to welcome Charlie Kirk. So help me out, schizo boy.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, it’s fair. I mean, look, I was pulling a Tucker Carlson yesterday. I was just asking the question. I was just asking the question, should we reach across the aisle? No, I mean, I didn’t say, look, I think it’s fair to acknowledge the temperature is pretty high right now. It is. And families – you and I have talked about families being torn apart. I hear every day – heartbreaking stories. A little old lady from Long Island yesterday whose only sister, and they’ve been best friends for 80 years, has cut her out of her life. And she won’t talk to her. And, you know – It’s up to us to persuade the other side. And I get what your point is. And you’re right about, look, I guess you’re trying to persuade Gavin Newsom maybe not to be who he is. Gavin Newsom wants to run for president. But incidentally, apparently so does Jasmine Crockett. Yeah. Wow. Can I make a prediction right here, right now? Let me make a prediction. 745 Central Standard Time, Tuesday, March 25th. She’s going to go too far. She’s going to say something. Well, she already has, but I mean even farther than she’s gone. I mean, she’s going to really step in at one of these days.
SPEAKER 02 :
In terms of, because this is the 30th District, South Dallas County, Member of Congress. The once for the forever Eddie Bernice Johnson seat. And Eddie Bernice looks like Margaret Thatcher compared to this woman. And she’s mouthy and she’s edgy and she’s hard left, which makes her a darling on MSNBC. And she and she’s a racist and and a hater and a smear merchant. Lately, though, in a weekend interview on Channel 5, she had this talking about the Colin Allred race against Ted Cruz. And you’ve got to hit him hard and you’ve got to aim for the head and. And listen, as much of a fool as she is, I’m going to give her some latitude as I would give anybody for using metaphors in political battle. I’m not so much worried about that. But she did also say, because Saturday is March 29th, right? You know this is the Tesla day of action or the day of outrage or the day of insanity. So I got to tell you, out at Legacy West in Plano, some of my favorite restaurants are along that stretch. There’s a Tesla dealership there as well. I’m not going to say don’t go. I ain’t going. just three hours down the road from where I’m sitting right now, Austin. bombs found at a Tesla dealership, the violent left is on parade. And when people show you what they are, pay attention.
SPEAKER 03 :
And please do not debate whether this is domestic terrorism or not, because it certainly is. And I guarantee you there’s a whole lot of people going to be spending a whole lot of time in prison for these violent actions against Tesla.
SPEAKER 02 :
And all the Teslas have cameras! what is called sentry mode, where if I walk up in Kia Tesla today, you’re going to see me as well as people are seeing me on the Salem News Channel. Correct. Oh, it’ll be all over.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, these are not the brightest bulbs in the box, but that brings me back to Jasmine Crockett, because not only is she celebrating the demise of Tesla and urging Texas crews to be, you know, essentially assaulted, she also said something that was really shocking. She gave an interview where she said, I don’t care about any legislation. I just want to take down Trump. I mean, this, like you said, when people say who they are, believe them.
SPEAKER 02 :
And that’s what she said about Tesla, too. Herbert said, all I want on my birthday is to take down Elon. Let’s take down Tesla. And I guess she could be talking reputationally or policy-wise, and I do give latitude in certain ways, but when your party is attacking people and people on your side are engaged in a wave of domestic terrorism, you might want to rein
SPEAKER 03 :
You might want to pump the brakes a little, which is kind of what the theme was of the show yesterday. And it was kind of an interesting conversation because I was asking, should we pump the brakes a little bit? Do we make more? Here’s what set me off. I had a guy last week call the show, and we mixed it up really big. But I know who he was. He’s that troll guy. He’s the call guy. You know who he is. He calls shows, and he tapes the reaction from the conservative hosts. Who cares? And he posts it on his ex-account with 13 followers. and that’s how he gets his jollies. But he wants to really, really argue, and he called the other day, and I think I was kind of… Influence because I knew who he was. He didn’t know that I knew who he was. But we have a way here with our phone system to know when someone like that’s calling. Because he’s real sophisticated. He spoofs phone numbers. He uses different numbers, different names, different parts of the country. It’s a whole big thing for him. But when we started arguing, I found myself heating up the conversation. I was interrupting. I was arguing. And I’m like, you know what? And he was making arguments. And we all do that, Mark. I mean, present company included. We all try to shut down the other side too much probably and not listen when somebody’s trying to make a point that we disagree with. And I’m wondering if we shouldn’t kind of ease up on that approach a little bit, let them vent, let them speak, and try to win them over. You know what it is, Mark, and you and I talked about this. It’s the spirit of Charlie Kirk going on to college campuses. Yeah. That’s what he does. And he’s not in shouting matches with these college kids. He’s trying to effectively persuade them that their way is lost, that their progressive instincts are wrong. And he does a powerful job, a masterful job. Look, this guy is a treasure. And so I kind of saw a bunch of those Charlie Kirk videos before the show yesterday, and I was kind of having a good conversation with him. And it was. It was helpful. And I do appreciate the criticism because you’re right. I don’t want to platform Gavin Newsom. I don’t want to make him palatable. Hey, let’s end on a positive note. I played a clip on my X account. You can follow me at GallagherShow on X. Mm-hmm. The Buc-ee’s Experience. Oh, I don’t know about this.
SPEAKER 02 :
There’s a young lady.
SPEAKER 03 :
Have you heard this?
SPEAKER 02 :
I have not. There’s a young lady. Having just done some Texas Hill Country, we stopped at both the Temple Texas Buc-ee’s and the Buc-ee’s right by the Texas Motor Speedway on the way home. So I’ve got a face full of Buc-ee’s experiences just in the last couple of days.
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s the funniest clip, and it’s so real. I know we’re over time. Can I play it? Do we have a minute and a half, or are we too late?
SPEAKER 02 :
We do not.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay, we do not. So tomorrow, remind me tomorrow to play for you the Buc-ee’s. You’ve got to tell me about it. It’s her. It’s this young woman in a car extolling all the virtues of Buc-ee’s in a hysterical way. You do all your Christmas shopping there. There’s not just tchotchkes there. You can get bathrobes. All the food groups. All the food groups. You walk it all the hell. Well, of course, she jokes about that, like beef jerky is now a major food group.
SPEAKER 02 :
There’s a wall of jerky. There’s a wall of jerky.
SPEAKER 03 :
You go and get a brisket. The bathrooms, she said, are cleaner than most of America’s operating rooms. Correct. And the stalls are floor to ceiling. You could go in and file your taxes in a stall.
SPEAKER 02 :
She’s right.
SPEAKER 03 :
I mean, oh, I’m going to play. Let’s start tomorrow. Can I play this for you tomorrow?
SPEAKER 02 :
You’re not going to want to miss it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Let’s get it out of the way tomorrow, and off we go. You got it. All right. Happy Tuesday, my friend. Own the mistakes and move on. Two-day news cycle. Precisely right.
SPEAKER 02 :
It’s not a big deal. It’s not a big deal. I love you. I love you. That’s Mike. He’s going to share more love. 10 o’clock, soon as we’re done, right here on 660 AM. The answer.
