- 0:01Speaker 1: Now this is producing. This is what I call producing.
- 0:04Speaker 1: Some of the video bumper shots of the cities you
- 0:06Speaker 1: look at. They've shown you Dallas because that's where I am.
- 0:09Speaker 1: They've shown you Philadelphia because that's where Eddie is. They've
- 0:12Speaker 1: shown you Kansas City because that's where Christagalla is going
- 0:14Speaker 1: to be congressman before too long. And right there is Tampa,
- 0:17Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay area, where our talk show buddy Mike
- 0:20Speaker 1: Gallagher joins us for the little national version of the
- 0:23Speaker 1: M and M segment that I am always blessed to
- 0:25Speaker 1: do on the local show. Mike joins us from the
- 0:27Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Area to talk about stuff in the news,
- 0:30Speaker 1: things on his mind. And you have told me a
- 0:32Speaker 1: little bird tells me you have a Tampa Bay Area
- 0:35Speaker 1: news blip to share.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Well, it's an honor of you because people who are
- 0:39Speaker 2: new to the Mark Davis experience may not know what
- 0:42Speaker 2: a space geek you are. You're a space nerd from
- 0:47Speaker 2: the word go. You've never seen any kind of a
- 0:49Speaker 2: launch or landing, lunar landing that you didn't love. And
- 0:52Speaker 2: so tonight is it Artemis two are artists two.
- 0:56Speaker 1: It should be about six thirty your time, about five
- 0:59Speaker 1: thirty min time. People going back to the Moon for
- 1:01Speaker 1: the first time in fifty three years.
- 1:03Speaker 2: A four astronauts mission. There's going to be four of
- 1:06Speaker 2: them in this in this module or whatever you call it.
- 1:10Speaker 2: And guess what I'm told that living here in Tampa Bay,
- 1:14Speaker 2: if I look up tonight, I'll see it. They're saying,
- 1:18Speaker 2: even though it's the from the Kennedy Space Center at Tampa.
- 1:22Speaker 2: They said, if there are clear skies and you're here
- 1:25Speaker 2: living in Tampa Bay like I do, and you look
- 1:27Speaker 2: up shortly after approximately six twenty four pm Eastern, you'll
- 1:32Speaker 2: NASA recommends folks in Tampa Bay wait thirty to forty
- 1:35Speaker 2: seconds after launch. So I'm gonna go out on my
- 1:37Speaker 2: balcony on Tampa Bay for you, in honor of Mark Davis,
- 1:41Speaker 2: like an idiot, I'm gonna be looking up into the
- 1:43Speaker 2: sky hoping. I don't know what I'm gonna look for.
- 1:45Speaker 2: I guess I'm going to see a streaking, you know,
- 1:48Speaker 2: spaceship going on.
- 1:49Speaker 1: I don't want to oversell because you are a little
- 1:51Speaker 1: bit across the state, the total other side of the state.
- 1:54Speaker 1: If you're up and down New Smyrna or mun Beach,
- 1:57Speaker 1: Daytona that's where you're really going to get it, and
- 1:59Speaker 1: maybe even to George, because it's going away from you.
- 2:01Speaker 1: It's gonna go up and then over the Atlantic Ocean.
- 2:04Speaker 1: But and it's going to be pretty low on the
- 2:06Speaker 1: horizon because it's far away in curvature of the Earth,
- 2:08Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. But you should, if the skies cooperate,
- 2:12Speaker 1: you should get a glimpse. And Mike, I can only
- 2:14Speaker 1: tell you it's like fourteen Broadway openings combined into one on.
- 2:17Speaker 2: The for you, for you exactly right now. For me,
- 2:21Speaker 2: I'm gonna be watching paint Dry. I'm gonna be watching
- 2:25Speaker 2: It's gonna be like watching paint dry. But I'm doing
- 2:27Speaker 2: it in honor of you, because every time you bag
- 2:29Speaker 2: on me for love and theater and all my my
- 2:32Speaker 2: my theater references, I bag on you for telling us
- 2:35Speaker 2: about Gus Grissom and Neil Armstrong and you met this
- 2:39Speaker 2: guy and you went to this space ship and all.
- 2:41Speaker 2: So I love that about you. So I'm I'm just
- 2:43Speaker 2: doing this as a tribute to my dear friend Mark Davis,
- 2:46Speaker 2: where we will soon deeply appre where we will soon
- 2:49Speaker 2: launch the M and M Extra podcast, Keep Eye out
- 2:52Speaker 2: Mike Mike online dot com. You can see all things
- 2:54Speaker 2: Team Gallagher and hear all about the Mark Davis and
- 2:57Speaker 2: Mike Gallagher Daily podcast that we're gonna do unique just
- 3:00Speaker 2: for the podcast space right, And that was supposed to
- 3:03Speaker 2: start this week, but we got a little waylaid with
- 3:05Speaker 2: some Christagall career decisions.
- 3:07Speaker 3: So we got we got stuff going on. Where then
- 3:10Speaker 3: they tell me to do I do? So, you know kidding,
- 3:13Speaker 3: Hey me ahead real.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Quick, because do you know how crazy tonight's going to be,
- 3:17Speaker 1: because we will have astronauts in orbit around the Earth.
- 3:20Speaker 1: They'll be there for about a day before blasting out
- 3:22Speaker 1: toward the actual you know moon that's out there two
- 3:25Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine thousand miles away. So we'll get
- 3:27Speaker 1: that all done and then you know, go grab a
- 3:29Speaker 1: sandwich and come back and sit down. Because Trump talks
- 3:32Speaker 1: to us from the Oval Office at nine Eastern Central.
- 3:36Speaker 3: What what do you think that's about.
- 3:39Speaker 2: I think he's going to tell us that we're going
- 3:40Speaker 2: to pull pull back. You know, I've been reading about
- 3:43Speaker 2: a strategy, a military strategy called mowing the grass. We
- 3:48Speaker 2: pull out. We say that the intense bombardment of Iran
- 3:52Speaker 2: comes to an end. We're not going to have boots
- 3:54Speaker 2: on the ground, but we're going to keep We're going
- 3:56Speaker 2: to keep mowing the lawn. If they get out of line,
- 3:59Speaker 2: if they fire any missiles, will drop some more bombs
- 4:02Speaker 2: on him. If they start to get get feisty, well
- 4:06Speaker 2: will obliterate them a little more. But it will be
- 4:08Speaker 2: a a de escalation of this, uh, this big conflict
- 4:12Speaker 2: that has already been enormously successful. Did you see the
- 4:16Speaker 2: the the uh the JP Morgan Chase guy was a
- 4:19Speaker 2: Jamie Diamond.
- 4:20Speaker 3: Jami Diamond, I sure did. And he's no conservative.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Go ahead, no, oh, he just he just said, look,
- 4:26Speaker 2: this is long overdue. What we're doing in Iran. And
- 4:29Speaker 2: to watch the other side, the other political side of
- 4:32Speaker 2: the aisle, essentially root against the United States has been
- 4:36Speaker 2: sickening and and they've got and the Democrats have a
- 4:39Speaker 2: whole cadre of judges. Yesterday, as you know, an Obama
- 4:44Speaker 2: appointed judge has ruled that the thousands of illegals who
- 4:50Speaker 2: came through on the Joe Biden CBP one app they
- 4:55Speaker 2: have to have their legal they've got to have legal
- 4:58Speaker 2: status restored.
- 5:01Speaker 3: With a sweep of a pen.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Now, now, this is insanity again, we've got another activist
- 5:06Speaker 2: judge here in Florida. Governor NEUSA, our Governor DeSantis is
- 5:11Speaker 2: calling on a judge named Tiffany Baker to be immediately
- 5:16Speaker 2: impeached because look, these activist judges are becoming a menace
- 5:22Speaker 2: in this country. Mark, I want you to hear this story.
- 5:25Speaker 2: A guy was convicted of raping a child, convicted, not accused,
- 5:32Speaker 2: convicted by a jury of his peers. A woman named
- 5:36Speaker 2: Judge Tiffany Baker ignored the recommendations of the prosecutors to
- 5:41Speaker 2: lock him up. Now there's been a conviction, you got
- 5:43Speaker 2: to put him behind bars. She said, Nope, We're gonna
- 5:46Speaker 2: let him go free and let him be free to
- 5:49Speaker 2: roam the streets until we decide what his sentence shall be.
- 5:53Speaker 2: While out on bail, he tortured and murdered a five
- 5:57Speaker 2: year old little girl. Now DeSantis saying, enough is enough.
- 6:02Speaker 2: Start impeaching these judges. Start impeaching these judges that are
- 6:06Speaker 2: trying to handcuff Donald Trump.
- 6:08Speaker 3: And they're right.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Desanta says, look, you got the votes, Hey, Mike Johnson,
- 6:13Speaker 2: grow a spine and get rid of these judges. Because
- 6:17Speaker 2: it can be done procedurally, but for some reason we're
- 6:21Speaker 2: afraid we're too timid to do that.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Well, Marks, you've arrived, You've arrived exactly one of the
- 6:26Speaker 1: main themes we have these majorities. Trump is supposed to
- 6:29Speaker 1: be energizing everybody, and he certainly does in many corners.
- 6:33Speaker 1: But how can we have a Republican party that seems
- 6:37Speaker 1: at times too spineless to get the Save America Act
- 6:40Speaker 1: across the finish line goes on spring break right now,
- 6:43Speaker 1: where the optics are just terrible. There's broad dissatisfaction with
- 6:47Speaker 1: what we're trying to do when we have the majority.
- 6:49Speaker 3: God knows how bad it's going to be if we
- 6:51Speaker 3: lose those majorities.
- 6:53Speaker 2: I saw some I saw somebody on ex Derek Hunter
- 6:56Speaker 2: posted reposted the story for ABC News. The true Rump
- 7:00Speaker 2: administration must restore the legal status of hundreds of thousands
- 7:06Speaker 2: of illegals who came into the United States through the
- 7:09Speaker 2: Biden era pathway. Right, Derrek Hunter writes, this is the
- 7:14Speaker 2: sort of stuff that civil wars are fought over. Ignore
- 7:17Speaker 2: the ruling, throw all their butts out, and impeach the
- 7:21Speaker 2: judge next week, Speaker Johnson, or resign already. I'll tell
- 7:25Speaker 2: you what people are frustrated about. They're not frustrated about
- 7:27Speaker 2: what we're doing in Iran. They understand four dollars a
- 7:30Speaker 2: gallon gas. We don't like it, but we understand it
- 7:33Speaker 2: because we're conquering a nefarious enemy that we've been essentially
- 7:37Speaker 2: at war with for forty seven years. We don't understand
- 7:40Speaker 2: the lack of action. We don't understand the inability. You're
- 7:44Speaker 2: going to go on a two week vacation in the
- 7:48Speaker 2: middle of all this. Lindsey Graham's gonna go to Disney
- 7:51Speaker 2: World in the middle of this. Are you kidding me?
- 7:54Speaker 2: What are these guys thinking? What are these women thinking?
- 7:56Speaker 2: You got to stop it, take some action, and if
- 7:59Speaker 2: they don't, we're going to lose in November, and then
- 8:01Speaker 2: we're gonna lose the country. Because you think things are bad, now,
- 8:05Speaker 2: you multiply it by about a thousand, because we're going
- 8:07Speaker 2: to be facing all kinds of every day will be
- 8:10Speaker 2: the impeachment of the day. They'll impeach him every hour.
- 8:13Speaker 2: They're going to subpoena they're going to haul people into
- 8:16Speaker 2: before congressional hearings. They're going to punish media organizations. It's
- 8:21Speaker 2: gonna get so ugly. I still think we can win
- 8:25Speaker 2: in November. But a lot has to come together.
- 8:27Speaker 1: I totally do, because it's getting into April. I mean,
- 8:30Speaker 1: it's not like it's September. I think that a lot
- 8:32Speaker 1: of the panic and a lot of the doom saying
- 8:34Speaker 1: is a sort of a function of the moment. You
- 8:36Speaker 1: just mentioned the Civil War. This is funny. Yesterday we
- 8:39Speaker 1: popped into the culture and we talked about the Madison,
- 8:42Speaker 1: the latest from Taylor Sheridan, which which.
- 8:44Speaker 3: You didn't like. I have no idea. What's the matter
- 8:46Speaker 3: with you.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Let me do something really old school, and that's called
- 8:49Speaker 1: an actual book, an actual book about the actual Civil War,
- 8:53Speaker 1: an underappreciated presidency Ulysses Grant. And there is a book,
- 8:57Speaker 1: and you know who the author is, our friend Brett
- 8:59Speaker 1: Bayer at Fox News. I'm just finishing to rescue the Republic.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Ulysses S. Grant, the fragile Union, and the crisis of
- 9:06Speaker 1: eighteen seventy six. His two terms as president are done.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Civil War, he's elected president, he decides not to run
- 9:13Speaker 1: for a third time. So then you get the election
- 9:15Speaker 1: of eighteen seventy six with Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel Tilden,
- 9:19Speaker 1: an election so close that there was controversy in various
- 9:24Speaker 1: states about which electors ought to represent the will of
- 9:28Speaker 1: the people.
- 9:29Speaker 3: They gathered a panel. Does this sound familiar.
- 9:31Speaker 2: In Huh, that sounds like that sounds I've not been.
- 9:33Speaker 3: We've been then the dish tune before.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Exactly right, and it's fascinating. They impaneled a commission. They
- 9:39Speaker 1: brought it's almost like what the pardon me, the j
- 9:43Speaker 1: sixers kind of wanted, and that was for everybody to
- 9:46Speaker 1: hit a pause button. Don't automatically sign off on a
- 9:49Speaker 1: result that was obviously flawed. Let's have a really close,
- 9:52Speaker 1: granular look at what people seem to have done. And
- 9:56Speaker 1: they kind of went that way in eighteen seventy six,
- 9:59Speaker 1: So Brett Baar to Rescue the Republic, And I got
- 10:02Speaker 1: to tell you all the presidents you really really admire
- 10:05Speaker 1: Trump and Reagan of course, you know, Kennedy deserves a
- 10:08Speaker 1: place in history. You know, FDR deserves a place in history.
- 10:13Speaker 1: Calvin Coolidge is a favorite, Washington and Jefferson, of course,
- 10:16Speaker 1: you'll have an appreciation of the character of Ulysses Grant,
- 10:20Speaker 1: a genuinely amazing person in war and in peace. So
- 10:23Speaker 1: to Rescue the Republic book recommendation both.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Well, let me go and let me add one to
- 10:28Speaker 2: the Mark and Mike book Club. I had a little
- 10:31Speaker 2: personal challenge with a friend of mine, and you know
- 10:33Speaker 2: how you get in you know the phrase, we get
- 10:35Speaker 2: into our own heads. We get into our head, we
- 10:37Speaker 2: can't get out of it. Max Luketo wrote a book
- 10:40Speaker 2: called Tame Your Thoughts and it's three principles. He's a
- 10:44Speaker 2: very spiritual guy. Of course, love inspirational, love his work,
- 10:48Speaker 2: and I just started cracking this book. I'm halfway through
- 10:51Speaker 2: about how you can control the things that get into
- 10:54Speaker 2: your head and it's a spiritual benefit to do so,
- 10:58Speaker 2: and it's very important during these challenges times we face.
- 11:01Speaker 2: So I heartily recommend Max Lucto's book Tame Your Thoughts,
- 11:05Speaker 2: because we can and we should.
- 11:07Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 11:07Speaker 1: And you know what's cool about that is whether it's
- 11:10Speaker 1: a religious version like that or maybe something more secular.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of Mel Robbins and her book
- 11:15Speaker 1: called Let Them Basically, Yeah, we waste so much time
- 11:19Speaker 1: trying to change other people. If only I could make
- 11:22Speaker 1: that person do that, if only I could make my
- 11:23Speaker 1: family do that.
- 11:24Speaker 3: Etcetera, etcetera.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Listen, you can't All you can do is control your reactions,
- 11:29Speaker 1: your thoughts, et cetera, et cetera.
- 11:30Speaker 3: So look at that book recommendations.
- 11:33Speaker 2: I feel like, listen, we're like like Oprah Light. You know,
- 11:36Speaker 2: we're like Oprah.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Today.
- 11:38Speaker 2: There's our book recommend and when the next time we chat,
- 11:40Speaker 2: we got to talk about how this full service driving
- 11:44Speaker 2: is changing the world and people are starting to find
- 11:46Speaker 2: out the technology. I mean, Tesla. I just read a
- 11:50Speaker 2: guy online seventy eight years old. He said I can
- 11:53Speaker 2: barely walk, let alone drive. I'm taking my wife out
- 11:56Speaker 2: for date night again, after fifty two years of marriage.
- 11:58Speaker 2: We couldn't do this with our old car. I didn't
- 12:01Speaker 2: buy my Tesla to save the planet. I bought it
- 12:03Speaker 2: to save me. And I'm telling you that you did
- 12:06Speaker 2: not love that. And I love it. I'm one of
- 12:08Speaker 2: my family members has one. I drive it all the time.
- 12:10Speaker 2: That full it's a it's changing the world, my friend.
