- 0:00Speaker 1: As a great American original turned to eighty one years
- 0:04Speaker 1: old Silver Bullet Band, Night Moves. Let's talking with some
- 0:09Speaker 1: daytime moves. Daytime Talk showed moves, daytime talk show thoughts.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Here in the daytime world. It's my buddy, Mike Gallagher. Welcome,
- 0:16Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday.
- 0:17Speaker 2: How are I thought? I thought maybe you'd play Indiana
- 0:20Speaker 2: wants me Lord?
- 0:21Speaker 1: I could. I can't go back there?
- 0:24Speaker 2: What you know what? You know what?
- 0:26Speaker 1: And listen my theme, Bloodbeth, My theme is good news. Listen,
- 0:32Speaker 1: out of out of a war zone, possible progress, out
- 0:34Speaker 1: of a tragedy with Athenis strand. This monster gets the
- 0:37Speaker 1: death penalty. So that's good judicial news. But grace everybody
- 0:40Speaker 1: with the good political news. All the political news is
- 0:43Speaker 1: supposed to be terrible. We're gonna get roasted in the midterms.
- 0:46Speaker 1: It's a horrible time to be a Republican. With more
- 0:48Speaker 1: here's Mike Well.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Trump has all of his influences waning, and people aren't
- 0:53Speaker 2: supporting Trump anymore. And there's no he has no influence anymore.
- 0:58Speaker 1: Oh, it's over.
- 0:59Speaker 2: That's news to a whole bunch of Mike Pence style
- 1:02Speaker 2: Republicans in Indiana, because it really was a bloodbath. The
- 1:08Speaker 2: and and they and the media was just salivating at
- 1:12Speaker 2: the chance to say, see Trump's influence is gone, see
- 1:18Speaker 2: Maga is dead. A ton of Trump's endorsed candidates won,
- 1:24Speaker 2: but particularly it was called the Hoosier payback. In fact,
- 1:29Speaker 2: one of the Rhinos who lost, who was primary last night,
- 1:33Speaker 2: was whining about how revenge isn't a revenge and retribution
- 1:39Speaker 2: is not a Christian value. Hey, Senator Travis Holdman, you
- 1:43Speaker 2: know what a value is paying attention to your constituency.
- 1:46Speaker 2: You know, isn't it crazy Mark that that this These
- 1:51Speaker 2: guys are shocked, These establishment GOP hacks are realizing helping
- 1:57Speaker 2: democrats hold on to power isn't popular with publican voters
- 2:00Speaker 2: who would have than imagine that. So is a big
- 2:04Speaker 2: night vivek Rema swamp. By the way, Tucker Carlson's pick
- 2:07Speaker 2: got walloped in Ohio. I guess he was with the
- 2:11Speaker 2: other guy. Well, it just shows that a lot of
- 2:14Speaker 2: these influencers, they got no influence because it was like
- 2:19Speaker 2: vivec eighty to twenty or something. It wasn't even close.
- 2:22Speaker 2: But Indiana was a powerful story. Incidentally, some fun today,

- 3:37Speaker 2: dragged kicking and screaming into the podcast space and we're
- 3:40Speaker 2: loving it. We're loving every minute.
- 3:41Speaker 1: It's been the best.
- 3:42Speaker 2: So anyways, big night for Trump. He proved to be
- 3:45Speaker 2: a king maker in Indiana. His seal of approval propelled
- 3:49Speaker 2: a number of GOP candidates to landslide victories. By the way,
- 3:52Speaker 2: can we go back to something you said a minute
- 3:53Speaker 2: ago about Marco Rubio because I love you Marco. Hey,
- 3:58Speaker 2: who's been telling you about Marco? And weeks who's buddy?
- 4:02Speaker 1: I know you have thank you.
- 4:04Speaker 2: I'm going to say it right now. I think he's
- 4:07Speaker 2: going to be the nominee. I think he's the one
- 4:10Speaker 2: I like JD.
- 4:11Speaker 1: She's gonna He's got to He's got to run first, Mike, Well,
- 4:14Speaker 1: he's got will will he will? I mean the first
- 4:17Speaker 1: the first turnstyle to go through the first box of
- 4:19Speaker 1: the flow chart and I love flow charts. Is will
- 4:22Speaker 1: Marco actually run? He has said and Look, everybody can
- 4:26Speaker 1: say one hundred things. When a presidential opportunity is dangled
- 4:30Speaker 1: in front of you, few can turn it down if
- 4:32Speaker 1: it seems plausible. He has said, if my good friend JD.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Vance runs, and clearly JD is gonna run. He's the
- 4:39Speaker 1: sitting vice president, He's the heir apparent to the MAGA standard.
- 4:43Speaker 1: One would think if JD runs, I will not. He's
- 4:47Speaker 1: going to have to change his mind about that. And
- 4:49Speaker 1: all I'm saying is I hope he does, because I
- 4:52Speaker 1: don't know right now in May of twenty twenty six,
- 4:57Speaker 1: in the primaries of two years from now, whom who
- 5:00Speaker 1: my choice would be? Talk about a good problem to
- 5:02Speaker 1: have Vance, Rubio, maybe Desantus, I mean, you know, and
- 5:06Speaker 1: who knows who else? I don't know. So it's but
- 5:09Speaker 1: your thought. You simply see a path forward that is
- 5:12Speaker 1: so compelling that he absolutely chooses to run and then
- 5:17Speaker 1: out distances the sitting vice president to be our nominee
- 5:21Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight.
- 5:22Speaker 2: All I know is that every time Marco Rubio opens
- 5:26Speaker 2: his mouth, something brilliant comes out. That speech. Do you
- 5:29Speaker 2: played that clip you played a few minutes ago about
- 5:32Speaker 2: the greatness of America and our place in the world.
- 5:36Speaker 2: But it's every time everything, every time he's asked a question,
- 5:40Speaker 2: it's like people are looking at him like, Wow, this
- 5:43Speaker 2: guy is special. There is something unique about this guy.
- 5:46Speaker 2: There's an exceptionalism to Marco Rubio that perhaps JD. Vance
- 5:50Speaker 2: doesn't possess.
- 5:51Speaker 1: And some of it's not JD's fault because JD's vice president,
- 5:56Speaker 1: which is a heart beat away from the presidency, but
- 5:58Speaker 1: in a weird way, a mile or so from the presidency. Yeah,
- 6:02Speaker 1: while Marco Rubio every day is should is at the
- 6:05Speaker 1: President's shoulder, at his side. It's just a much more
- 6:09Speaker 1: important job. And keep going back to John McCain, God
- 6:12Speaker 1: rest him. John McCain's definition of the vice presidents. People
- 6:15Speaker 1: always ask John McCain, who wanted to be president for
- 6:18Speaker 1: a long time and that didn't happen, would you have
- 6:20Speaker 1: any interest in being anybody's running mate? And Senator McCain
- 6:23Speaker 1: would say, I don't want to be vice president. Vice
- 6:25Speaker 1: president has two jobs, attending the funerals of foreign dignitaries
- 6:30Speaker 1: and inquiring daily as to the health of the president.
- 6:33Speaker 1: So it's like somebody wanted to do.
- 6:36Speaker 2: It's like the HBO series that I love so much VP,
- 6:40Speaker 2: and Julia Louis dreyf is playing Selena Myers, the hapless
- 6:43Speaker 2: vice president. She would keep saying to the secretary, has
- 6:46Speaker 2: the President called today? Has the President called it? No? No, sorry, madam.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Vice President isn't called so? But look, it's not I
- 6:52Speaker 2: don't say any of this to take anything away from
- 6:54Speaker 2: Jo looks about how it's not about how any deficiencies
- 6:59Speaker 2: the JD. Then no, it's about how good Marco Rubio is.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Yep.
- 7:03Speaker 2: And polls are starting to come out, mark and focus
- 7:06Speaker 2: groups and surveys are coming out saying Marco's doing really,
- 7:11Speaker 2: really well.
- 7:12Speaker 1: I've been you know what, some of the factors are
- 7:14Speaker 1: going to finished the sentence.
- 7:15Speaker 2: I've been saying this for weeks. I said this starting
- 7:18Speaker 2: about three months ago. You keep an eye on Marco
- 7:20Speaker 2: Rubio in twenty twenty eight because I think he very
- 7:23Speaker 2: well could be the guy.
- 7:24Speaker 1: Part of the skill set he has, and it's a
- 7:26Speaker 1: long skill set, is not just his facility with a
- 7:31Speaker 1: dangerous world and describing it and talking about it and
- 7:34Speaker 1: being a communicator for the Trump agenda on the world stage.
- 7:37Speaker 1: But people perceive let me run this by you again.
- 7:41Speaker 1: You can say fifteen times how awesome. JD vances. We
- 7:44Speaker 1: love you, JD. Great guy, great vice president. But people
- 7:47Speaker 1: perceive that Rubio has done and would do a better
- 7:52Speaker 1: job of fighting off the savagery of a hostile media culture.
- 7:57Speaker 1: They might be right about that. JD is very skill
- 8:00Speaker 1: at at at you know, doing battle, the parrying back
- 8:02Speaker 1: and forth with a media culture that hates him. But
- 8:05Speaker 1: Rubio in a room full of hostile reporters is a masterclass.
- 8:09Speaker 2: Well. And and of course let's not be delusional and
- 8:12Speaker 2: think that they won't saddle Rubio if he becomes the
- 8:14Speaker 2: nominee with the Trump you know, because he'll be because
- 8:18Speaker 2: he'll skinhead, he'll be an existential threat. But there's but
- 8:25Speaker 2: there does seem I gotta say, there's something about his
- 8:29Speaker 2: countenance that makes him appear to just slough that all
- 8:33Speaker 2: that stuff off it he does effortlessly.
- 8:35Speaker 1: And isn't it wild that he can't that not? You know,
- 8:38Speaker 1: take a little blink at a time travel tunnel and
- 8:40Speaker 1: go back. He was It was a it was a rhino.
- 8:43Speaker 1: He was a softy. He was part of the infamous
- 8:46Speaker 1: Gang of Eight. He was soft on immigration. He ran
- 8:49Speaker 1: against Trump. Try the little Marco. They they were at
- 8:52Speaker 1: you know at war with each other. In the primaries
- 8:55Speaker 1: talk about the way in which people can travel a path,
- 8:58Speaker 1: get smarter, better, and and and.
- 9:02Speaker 2: Grow as Hey, let me take you to Independence High
- 9:07Speaker 2: School in Frisco. I saw something last night. There's a
- 9:10Speaker 2: teacher there named Debbie van Tysher and she's described on
- 9:15Speaker 2: her on her own like LinkedIn page. She's a history buff,
- 9:19Speaker 2: she's a literature lover. She's an educator of critical thinkers,
- 9:24Speaker 2: and she works in the Frisco I s G. She
- 9:27Speaker 2: works in the in the Frisco I SD at Independence
- 9:30Speaker 2: High School. She thought it would be wise to post
- 9:32Speaker 2: a meme showing Abraham Lincoln getting assassinated getting shot in
- 9:36Speaker 2: the head at Ford's Theater and he's crying out as
- 9:40Speaker 2: he gets shot. If only I had a ballroom. Now,
- 9:44Speaker 2: this is a teacher, a teacher and a veteran teacher.
- 9:47Speaker 2: And there's a picture of her. Nice looking lady obviously,
- 9:51Speaker 2: and she's apparently been at the Frisco I s D
- 9:55Speaker 2: employ for eleven years. She's a veteran teacher. Think about
- 10:00Speaker 2: how what a lack of self control leads you to do.
- 10:04Speaker 2: If your kid was, if your daughter or son was
- 10:06Speaker 2: a teacher and they couldn't resist their compulsion to publicly
- 10:12Speaker 2: post something that they know could surely lead to their termination.
- 10:18Speaker 1: And should lead to their termination.
- 10:20Speaker 2: But Mark, it's not like we all we haven't seen
- 10:22Speaker 2: this happen over and over again.
- 10:24Speaker 1: And yet there maybe not if it's a first offense,
- 10:29Speaker 1: maybe not termination, maybe a suspension, maybe even a strong
- 10:32Speaker 1: letter in the file.
- 10:32Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 10:33Speaker 1: There has to be a consequence this, But go ahead.
- 10:35Speaker 2: You want you want your kid being taught by this woman.
- 10:38Speaker 2: You want to send your child into a classroom with
- 10:41Speaker 2: a woman that is so consumed with that kind of
- 10:43Speaker 2: rage And.
- 10:45Speaker 1: That's not even And who is so stupid? I mean,
- 10:48Speaker 1: part of it is having that poisonous opinion in your head.
- 10:51Speaker 1: The stupidity part is sharing it so widely. How do
- 10:55Speaker 1: you have to be to do this? Well, I don't
- 10:57Speaker 1: even know that they're dumb. They can't help themselves. Their
- 11:01Speaker 1: politics have consumed them. They're consumed with this hatred for
- 11:06Speaker 1: one man, and they're willing to chuck it all. They're
- 11:09Speaker 1: willing to throw it. So we're going to keep an
- 11:10Speaker 1: eye on this story. I'm sure the Dallas Fort Worth
- 11:13Speaker 1: area media folks will. Because name is Deborah vent tyser
- 11:17Speaker 1: V E n t e I c h e R
- 11:20Speaker 1: posted this on her Instagram after the failed Trump assassination attempt,
- 11:24Speaker 1: and it's like, lady, come on, but you know what
- 11:27Speaker 1: I'd like to do someday I'd like to have a
- 11:30Speaker 1: conversation with somebody like her. I'd like to say, remember
- 11:35Speaker 1: the famous Hugh Grant interview with Jay Leno, and it's.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Supposed to think what were you thinking? It propelled him
- 11:41Speaker 2: and it propelled Leno incidentally the number one for years
- 11:43Speaker 2: and years because it was so popular. But I'd like
- 11:46Speaker 2: to say to her ms vent tyser or Vin, how
- 11:49Speaker 2: you're free your pressent? What were you thinking? What? Why
- 11:52Speaker 2: would you think that would be okay? And just kind
- 11:55Speaker 2: of get into their mind a little bit. Aren't you
- 11:57Speaker 2: curious Mark as to what compels them? What drives there?
- 12:00Speaker 2: I am?
- 12:01Speaker 1: I kind of know, or I think I have a
- 12:04Speaker 1: good guest. To conclude today's session, More to come, more
- 12:07Speaker 1: perhaps to come perhaps on today's eminem Ex.
- 12:10Speaker 2: And the third time, people who are watching on my
- 12:12Speaker 2: YouTube channel, they got a real treat today.
- 12:14Speaker 1: A look more of this to come on the Mike
- 12:17Speaker 1: Gallagher Show YouTube channel, eminem Extra Today and eleven Central time.
- 12:21Speaker 1: I believe that consider the following common threat that if
- 12:26Speaker 1: if it's something you do that is anti Trump, all
- 12:29Speaker 1: the rules are gone. You can decency, rhetorical restraint, behavioral restraint,
- 12:39Speaker 1: all those are gone if you are going about the
- 12:41Speaker 1: very special task, the righteous crusade of doing something against Trump.
- 12:46Speaker 1: If it's anti Trump, everything is fine. I think that
- 12:49Speaker 1: affects the minds of all precisely right.
- 12:51Speaker 2: As are off, and that that's probably as good as
- 12:54Speaker 2: anything I've got. And good for you. Go Indiana, way
- 12:57Speaker 2: to go, Hoosiers.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Keep it up.
- 12:59Speaker 2: It's a good day. I like some winning around here.
