If We Show Up in November, We Win · The M&M Experience

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: How are you doing, stranger?
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Well, welcome back. It's good to be back. We both
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: were California-bound last week, which was pretty cool. You had
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: a nice vacation. I had a great event. And for KRLA,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: our home there, the Salem home at AM 870, the
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: home of Jen Horn, who's my dear, dear friend out there.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Got to hang out with Larry Elder and Alex Marlow
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: and Larry O'Connor. And, of course, Jen. And the great
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Steve Hilton was there. We got to interact with him. And,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: you know, this fascinating kid, Nick Shirley, he was the draw.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: He was the hit. I mean, us big mouth talk
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: show hosts, we certainly have our supporters. But that crowd
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: loved Nick.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Give everybody the paragraph on him and sort of the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: online projects that have brought him fame.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Well, anybody who's ever been on social media knows him
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: because he pops up everywhere. He's kind of like, in
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: a way, an activist Charlie Kirk. You know, he's always
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: got a hoodie on. He's uncovered tons of fraud in California,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: in Minnesota. He's one of these citizen activist journalists that
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: goes around with a can. It's really just him. But now, sadly,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: and I saw it firsthand, and his security... Because he
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: is under constant threat of death from the angry, vicious,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: violent Democrat left. Let's remember, these aren't Republicans who have
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: to put people like Nick Shirley on notice. It's Democrats.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: It's leftists. It's these violent activists on the left, these horrible,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: horrible people. And what's fascinating to me about Nick— I mean,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: he's a rock star. And I don't say– I say
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: this lovingly. He's got the personality of a speed bump.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, this kid is not exactly Norman Vincent Peale
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: from the pulpit or anything. I mean, he's not– he's very–
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: but that's the beauty of what he is because that
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: proves he's in it for the right reasons.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: But he's not a showboat. He's not driven by ego. No.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: No. He's this kid with a hoodie, goes around with
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: a camera and exposes the Lurie Center in Minnesota and
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the millions and millions of dollars of fraud and waste.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: And we love him for that. And the fact that
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: he's not a particularly, you know, effusive guy or speaker,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: that's endearing to me. It's like he's real, Mark. You
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: know that word authentic.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yes. I was going to go right to the A word.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: He's authentic and not phony. Not everybody has to have
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the patter of a used car salesman.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Or even a talk show host in going about their business.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we just had a great time. I mean, L.A.,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: not exactly my favorite city in the world to visit
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: because it was only about two hours from the airport
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: to the hotel because I landed stupidly at 4 or
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: 5 in the afternoon.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I was going to say. two hours from the airport
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of the hotel was eight miles.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. If that was ridiculous. I don't know how
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: they do it out there. I don't know how they
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: put it. I mean, it's beautiful, the mountains, the palm trees,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: but it's just a very different kind of place. And then,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: of course, I had my... You were teasing me because
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I am... I'm trying to clean up the star blank word.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I'm a stargazer. Let's put it that way. I'm a stargazer.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: How about that? Now, I'm really wanting to say something else,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: but I can't say that on the radio. But I'm
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: a star. I'm a stargazer. And so when I see
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: a famous person, I think it's kind of neat. In
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: a normal setting. So I get to go out of
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: this fancy she-she lounge in L.A. twice a year for
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: free because of my Amex card. They also have this
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: same lounge now at DFW. And Mark and Lisa need
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: to be— We.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Will be tased. Why? Because I don't have the grand
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: poobah card that you have.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're a big superstar in Dallas-Fort Worth. You
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: don't need to bother with the masses in the terminal.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you what you can do.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I have tried. Because I've got a pretty hoity-toity American
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Express card.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And you always hope maybe you can find listeners to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: help do your bidding. I tried at one point to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: get into one of the lounges, one of the particularly
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: frou-frou lounges. They looked at me like I had crawled
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: out from under a bridge. This is maybe four or
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: five years ago. I don't pretend there's something magical. You've
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: got to have the card, and it's the card that
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you have.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Right, and the card that I have gives me some perks,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: and one of the perks is you get to use
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: it for free twice a year, right? Because it ain't cheap.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: It's $ 1, 200, I think, a visit. But what it does is—
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: For an airport lounge? Yes, per visit.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: What do they do in there? I hesitate to ask.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you what they do in there? Please do.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: First of all, you go in there and you get
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: about a 10-course meal. It's this private— this is where all
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the L.A. celebrities go to avoid the unwashed masses in
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the terminal. And TSA, by the way. It's got its
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: private TSA. It's got its wonderful servers and food and
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: everything else. But here's the best part of all. When
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: it's time to get on your plane, you go out
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: into the car. They ain't putting you in a Volvo, okay?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: You're not exactly in a Kia.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I love that you used Volvo as the brand to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: crap on.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Why not? I like Volvos. I had a Volvo once.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Common Man, everybody. It's Mike Gallagher.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: No, I got into my Maybach. And they drive you
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: in a Maybach. which is a very fancy car that
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I'm barely from.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Mercedes on steroids. Whoa.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's the most comfortable. And they drive you
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: to the steps of your plane on the tarmac, and
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: then you go up the steps outside the tarmac. It's
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the craziest experience I've ever had. Anyway, it's all I
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: get twice a year. I'm not going to pay $ 1, 200,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: but here's what's always cool. I always see famous people
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: because all the famous people, they don't want to go
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: through the terminal either. Guess who sat next to me
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: over breakfast yesterday, five feet away from me? The guy
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: from Scrubs, Zach Braff. Zach Braff. Nice guy. I don't
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: know much about him. Very recognizable. I mean, I knew
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: him right away. It was kind of neat, you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and I didn't bother him. I texted one of my kids.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: They said, Dad— Please don't bother him. I know you.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Leave him alone. Don't embarrass yourself. And, of course, you
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: being you, you were so sweet. You said, you're texting
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: me about Zach Braff. Zach Braff is texting somebody. I'm
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the world-famous talk show host, Mike Gallagher. Now, trust me,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: he ain't a big fan of conservative talk radio.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Well, that was my dream. As you were texting me,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: it says, you're not going to believe who I'm sitting
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: next to in this lounge. It's Zach Braff. And I said,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that's fantastic. And I imagine Zach texting one of his
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Hollywood friends saying– You're not going to believe this. One
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: of my favorite broadcasters, Mike Gallagher, is here. I don't
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: dare reveal that I listened to him or my career
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: would be over.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: But that is, well, to that point, this is the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: same lounge a year or two ago. A guy comes
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: up to me and he says, I recognize your voice.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you look like. Are you Mike Gallagher?
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I said, yeah. He goes, every night, KRLA, because they
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: tape delay me in LA because they've got local, like you,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: but they've got all big lineups. So I'm on in
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the evening there, which is fine. I don't care. And
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: he said, every night. And we started talking. I said,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: what are you doing? He goes, I'm in the movie business.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I thought, oh, you're in the movie business. He made
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: me a carpenter.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: An actual conservative working the craft services or something like that.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. He does lighting or whatever. Well, he
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: never mentions anything about himself. He wants to know about me.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: And he loved Eminem. He loved you. He loved Prager.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: He was asking how Dennis was doing. Finally, narcissist Mike
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: decides maybe it's polite to say, well, what do you
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: actually do in the movies? Right. He's one of the
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: biggest producers of the Marvel franchises you've ever– I mean,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: this guy is so big. And I didn't know it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I had to Google him, and I thought, holy moly.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: So I don't want to identify him in case he
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: gets in trouble for being a conservative.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: He'll be canceled immediately.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: They'll cancel him somehow. But anyway, that's kind of my
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: brush a little bit with a little bit of– Fun and,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: you know, some she-she stuff. But it's good to be
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: back in the saddle again. We miss you.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: At your event, which had more than 1,000 people, right?
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: 1,100 paid attendees. The theater was packed.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Were they slump-shouldered and defeatist, expecting ruin on the 3rd
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: of November?
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: They're cautiously optimistic. And let me tell you why. We
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: had Steve Hilton was one of the speakers. Look, he
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: has a theme right now. You know what we do
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: here in California? He said it on Fox News, too, yesterday.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: We speak English here. We speak English here. We've got
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: to get kids back to teaching kids how to read
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: again in California. I mean, look at what they're doing
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: in Massachusetts. Have you seen the latest, this Michelle Wu character?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: In Massachusetts, in Boston, they've now got a program training
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: illegals how to become community activists. And they're spending taxpayer
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: dollars on it while the media is melting down that
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Trump is running a spot, which is basically a PSA
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: about all the successes of the Trump administration on the government.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: What's wrong with that? What's wrong with Trump running a
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: commercial touting America's success? But they don't seem to be
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: upset about Michelle Yu or Wu coming up with a
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: program to train illegals how to be better community activists
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: and infiltrate the government and get government jobs and get
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: driver's licenses. That's what's on the ballot, Mark, in a
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: little over a month. So the crowd there knows instinctively.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I met a lot of people there on Saturday afternoon.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: The crowd gets it. it. It's all on the line.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Crazy's on the ballot. The general consensus, the thinking is.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: You know, Democrats are going to take the House. We're
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: going to hold on to the Senate. I don't know.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I don't either.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: You're going to trust a poll? It might all be nonsense. Exactly.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: The polls are broken.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: And there's like a psy-op underway, a psychological operation to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: dispirit us, to tell us that the writing is on
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the wall, the concrete is set.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: There always is. There's nothing. you can do.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: And then the polls begin to tighten. And then if
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: we can't beat these guys, if we can't beat a
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Democrat party that is as broken and crazy as I've
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: seen in my lifetime with ideas that are rejected by
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: all kinds of people, and I know the war and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I know affordability, but do Democrats have any demonstrable plan
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to make either of those better? Are we safer with
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: a Democrat Congress? Are things more affordable with a Democrat Congress?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Meaning While we've fixed the border, crime is getting better.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: We've returned gender sanity, environmental sanity. Why can't I like
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: our chances?
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Why? Well, I reposted John Cornyn, the lame duck senator
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: from the great state of Texas. And he told CNN
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: he's got absolutely zero plans to help Ken Paxton in
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: any way, shape, or form. And when CNN asked him why,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: he said, this is fascinating to me, and I posted
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: this on X, which, by the way, P.S., I finally
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: got my handle that I wanted. I've been running at
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Mike Gallagher. Which it used to be. Never was.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: What was it before you changed it to Gallagher Show?
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Well, it was Radio Talker Mike.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Radio Talker Mike, that's right.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: So with Salem News Channel, those people were going to
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: fire me if I didn't change that handle. So you
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: can't be Radio Talker Mike. Radio, what is this radio
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: you speak of?
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Understand, all right.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: So then it became Gallagher Show because I couldn't get
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Mike Gallagher.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: The former congressman? Who had it?
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: No, he didn't even have it. Somebody had it but
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: didn't use it for years. And Twitter, X has a
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: thing where if there's a dormant name you want, you've
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: got to become a premium access member, like $ 30 a month,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: so you've got to pay a little money for it.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: But then you can request an unused account. Anyway, I
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: got it. I'm at Mike Gallagher now on X. Just
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: like you're at Mark Davis, I'm at Mike Gallagher. So
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: at Mike Gallagher, follow me there, I'll follow you back.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: And I reposted John Cornyn. Cornyn said.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Manu Raju of CNN captured him in the hallways of
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the Capitol.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: But this fascinates me, what Cornyn said. I get that
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: he's a bitter guy that is mad that he lost.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: He lost badly to Paxton, and he's upset about it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: You know what he said? I think the risk for
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Republicans is if we nominate flawed candidates in November, we
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: risk losing. Newsflash, that flawed candidate was selected, was elected,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: was chosen by the people of Texas. What am I
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: missing here? He acts like somebody came along and anointed
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Ken Paxton. The voters voted for him, and they trounced–
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong. It wasn't close, was it, Mark?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: 60-something, 30-something, it was not close in the runoff.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Well, there you– so why do you blame– he's blaming
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: the voters. It's the old Ed Koch.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: It's contempt.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: It's Ed Koch. The voters have spoken. They must be punished.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: And that's what– Exactly right. John Cornyn wants to punish
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Texas and saddle us with Tallarico. And I don't believe it. Well,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: it's not going to happen. It's not going to happen.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I don't believe it's going to happen either. No matter
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: with all these malcontents, all these wounded warriors.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Don't believe the polls.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Don't believe it. Rise up.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Look at him. Have we not learned anything about how
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: broken the polls are? Remember all the polls? They've been
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: wrong and wrong and wrong over and over again. They
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: never say anything. They're like the weatherman. You screw up
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: a forecast, you never apologize. You just get the forecast wrong.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: These pollsters, they get the poll. Oh, well, oh, well.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: We missed it. We'll try again. If we show up,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: they asked me at the last question of the panel
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: on Saturday in L.A., If you could put a billboard
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: on every highway in America for coming up in the
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: next month, what would it be? Very simple message from
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Mike Gallagher at Mike Gallagher on X. Thank you very much.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Twice a visitor to the P.S. Sweets Lounge. If we
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: show up, we'll win. If we show up, we win.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: It's that simple. There's nothing else. Ignore all the noise.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: You show up, there's more of us than there are
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: those crazies. It's in our hands.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: And I hope everybody shows up for Eminem Extra. I
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: can't wait. Thank you for handling that solo last week.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I can imagine that adventure. So we are back together again. Everybody, YouTube, Apple, Spotify, podcast,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Mark and Mike.
