24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The news never stops.

Life goes on around town and around the world.

You need a talk show that keeps track of it,

a program with the bold opinions

that's always open to your views.

That is this show.

Welcome to the Mark Davis show, on 660 A.M.

The answer.

And good morning, everybody on this Monday,

a 16th day of March, 2026.

All right, all right.

This is ridiculous, even for Texas, okay?

You know, we got all the jokes.

Go like the weather in Texas.

Wait a minute.

Ha, ha, ha.

And it's all true and it's all kind of charming.

And we all chortle at the Northern Midwesterners

for freaking out, because it's hot down here and, you know,

and weed, but, but, and I'm also a fan of having identified

one of our favorite, so one of our favorite dances,

meteorologically in Texas, that dance we do every once in a while,

the 50 degree swing.

Now, the 50 degree swing usually happens over like a day and a half.

You know, you'll have like a, well, well, let's use the numbers that we have.

But this was like in less than a day.

This was 12-ish 14 hours yesterday afternoon.

And it's breezy.

I'll give you it's breezy.

We're walking around.

It's 84 degrees.

Wake up this morning.

It's 34 degrees and it's windy.

Wind chill like 17 or something like that.

So that's crazy, even for Texas.

So just wardrobes are impossible.

You need absolutely everything.

Oh, and by the way, ha, ha, ha.

In a few days, 93.

Welcome to Texas, everybody.

Well, now listen, can anybody get in?

Can anybody get out?

Let me go to the text line.

First of all, phone number, text number.

It's the same 866, 660, 5759, 866, 660, 5759.

Maybe this is one of our topics today.

It should be fresh off the text line at five.

And by the way, many of you have noticed that the text line works 24-7,

which is great because many of you are or podcast listeners,

as I'm sitting here yammering at you right now.

It's 708 in the morning on Monday, March 16th.

You may be listening on Wednesday afternoon in Jakarta, Indonesia.

I mean, what do I know?

The podcasts go up.

We're on to puts them up after every days.

Broadcast 10-something central time.

So you can just drag us around, listen to us, whatever you want.

And thank you for the, if you're doing podcast listening,

thank you, thank you, thank you, we appreciate you.

Whenever you're listening, just listen, we appreciate it.

Where's it going with that?

Oh, that, that, so I will often get things on the text line

that are saying, yeah, Mark, I just heard something

on the Wednesday show and blah, blah, blah, which is great.

Always glad to see that, always glad for your reactions

whenever you send them.

But this one, this one is as fresh as this morning's headlines

and as fresh as the angst that you can feel at DFW Airport.

How have you ever had a vacation trip planned?

And you want to get a jump on things?

I'm a big fan of getting a jump on things.

Maybe it's the dad in me.

We used to, when I was growing up,

the Maryland suburbs of DC, my dad's side of the family

was in North Carolina, and mom's side of the family

was in the Florida panhandle and portions

of southeastern Alabama.

So that was a slightly longer trip.

So, and we generally didn't, you know,

I've, you know, want to flip a coin, I guess,

I don't know how they did it, but around Christmas time.

So since we needed to get in our 1969 Buick Electro,

which I rolled around in in the back seat seat belts,

and just had the time of my life at no phones,

no nothing, just watching signs and cars and license plates

and people and scenery, just fantastic.

Speaking of nostalgia real quick, I'll get back to that.

If you see the wonderful video of kids

ostensibly from the 70s-ish, it seems,

and they say, wait a minute, people in the future take pictures

of their food and share it with strangers.

Wait a minute, strangers bring food to your door.

Wait a minute, you have turned by turn instructions

that you hold in your hand and people still get lost.

Wait a minute, we've never been so connected

and yet we're incredibly lonely

and a kid lying back on the grass

and saying, nobody just looks up and takes in the silence anymore.

It's beautiful, it's poetic, it's lyrical,

and the kids are AI.

Well, listen, which I'm prepared not to care,

because it's a great, it's very, very great.

So anyway, getting an early crack at things,

dad would come and get mom and me and we'd get up

and say, come on, gotta get, come on,

we're burning daylight.

Of course, there was no daylight,

because we're on the road at like five

and you gotta get a jump on, you gotta beat the traffic.

Like the I-95 traffic from DC down to Richmond,

down to Petersburg, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

So getting the early, but to his credit, to his credit,

we were, we burned a lot of miles

and got places a lot earlier than we thought.

So my instinct on vacation day is to grab that early flight.

You know, if there's that 7 a.m. flight

that gets you somewhere by the middle of the day,

great, it's like having an extra day, right?

I know you could sleep in

and get the two o'clock in the afternoon flight,

but then you've burned the entire day.

So here's, here's an unlucky listener

and thanks for sharing,

because this is one of our topics of the day.

You're ready at five, so let's say this,

maybe this was a 7 7 30 flight or something,

and well, you know what, it might have been eight or nine,

because these days, when's your flight?

Is your flight Thursday?

Better get there on Tuesday, because the TSA,

shut down, Democrat shut down.

It's just bone thin, the ranks of TSA people

from the text line this morning,

two hours ago, exactly at five, 12 in the morning.

Family vacation flight out of DFW,

canceled by Delta this morning.

No reason, no rebooking.

I'm thinking it's because of the skeletal TSA presence.

Thanks, Democrats.

Maybe they are similarly inconvenienced.

Ha, ha, ha.

So is that you?

Is that me?

I'd say this kind of interesting.

We're looking at, I got a,

it's okay, we get hammered by Gallagher.

I got to burn some days here.

I haven't done, I haven't been gone to Christmas.

Poor host, poor host, poor talk show boy.

I gotta start to get on these.

Things are about to start to get busy.

We're starting to with a podcast, Mike and I,

a little M&M extra, where he and I fussed each other

on video for 30 minutes about whatever we want

with, uh, geez, how's that even gonna work?

It's gonna be great.

But, uh, so at least that I were talking,

do we want to take a chunk of days and go do something?

I don't know.

And if it involves getting on a plane at all,

I have to tell you, I'm hesitant.

Think I want to get this shut down thing taken care of

before I even think I'm getting on a plane to Mike

was on a, we'll get travel stories from Mike.

Mike, Mike Gallagher joins us 735.

He flew back to his floor at a compound from South Carolina.

To visit his buddies.

They're on the lake in the Palamento state.

We'll see how his journey went.

And, um, so yeah, there's, uh, and it's funny

with an actual war, I'm still in progress, two weeks plus.

We'll talk about that some and the spectacle

of the media culture rooting against America.

Huh, who saw that coming?

Only all of us.

Only all of us.

Cause number one, it's Trump.

And anything he does is instantly bad.

Even if it's trying to make a safer Middle East, a safer

America and a safer world, and I've got to be bad

because he's doing it, which creates these tortured, tortured

contortions by these folks.

Oh, well, of course, of course we can't have Iran

as a nuclear power, but this is terrible.

What's happening?

Or of course the Iranian regime is awful, but it's

terrible.

What's happening?

And why haven't we figured out, why aren't we done yet?

Why don't we finish yet?

This is like two weeks, if CNN existed, you know, during

World War two, it would be two weeks after Pearl Harbor.

It's like, hey, what's going on here?

We need an exit strategy.

What's happening?

Well, why aren't we, why aren't we finished and y'all Japan?

Yay.

That would be CNN in 1941.

So it's all crazy.

It's all crazy.

Oh, you're something else that's crazy.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So I see kids being nostalgic about something, the AI

video of the kids talking about the future.

I see kids being nostalgic about something.

And I, and I place it being in the 1970s, apparently the,

the, the, the video is supposed more, more from the 90s.

Okay, whippersnappers, I was 30.

I was, I turned, I turned 40 in the 90s.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right.

So 866, 666, 05759.

And so we, we have the actual war, we have the battles to be

fought this week for the Save America Act.

Here it comes.

I have a preview for you, little summary of things to pay

attention to.

This is gut check time for anyone who likes to think of

themselves as a Republican, lead Republican leadership may

be a oxymoron at this point.

But we'll see, we will see.

I have chosen to be very, very bottom line oriented that if the

Republican leadership, which John Thune at the top,

Senator Corning, very close to it, as he will remind you often and

say, Hey, my leadership value is why I need to remain here.

Okay, show us something.

And meanwhile, you have Lisa Murkowski, you have Susan Collins,

you have possibly Rand Paul, you have that, that, that reprobate

Tom Tillis in North Carolina.

There's, there's nothing as liberating as a, an elected official

who's not running anymore, an elected official on the way out.

You get the real guy, you get the real gal.

And sometimes it's not pretty.

In the case of Tom Tillis, it's not pretty.

This is a Trump hating weasel on steroids.

But the definition of leadership, if you're speaker of the

house like Mike Johnson, if you're Senate majority leader for

now, like John Thune, leadership means arm twisting, it means

bringing the power of your mere presence, it means bringing

your clout, bringing your street credibility to bear so that

things people want, especially your voters, your party,

that these things actually see the light of day, especially when it's

not like this is 50, 50, it's the Save America Act, it's election

security.

Oh, look at these crazy controversial gut wrenching things.

You got to prove you're a citizen to vote.

You got to have stricter photo ID laws.

You got to have voter roll verifications.

We can make sure non citizens aren't voting.

You got to have an election day deadline, mail in ballots must be

physically received by election officials on or before election day

and criminal liability for election officials who failed to comply

with the new registration and verification guidelines.

So, so revolutionary, there is, there is no excuse for this, no

excuse for that not for this not passing.

So this week, we're going to learn a lot.

We are going to learn a lot.

We have seen John Thune go from I don't think we have the votes

to well, maybe I bring it to the floor for a vote.

We've seen Senator corn and go from I don't think I want to mess

with a filibuster to well, maybe we mess with a filibuster.

All right, they got the talking part down, got the talking part down.

Now it's time to walk the walk.

And if the Thune Corning leadership, um,

court is able to drag this thing across the finish line, they will

deserve a huge amount of credit and to bring it home to Texas.

That will help Senator corn and greatly as he faces what appears to be an uphill

battle, looking at the Ken Paxton insurgency in the run off on May 26th.

If this thing fails and it is perceived that the leadership community

just wasn't cheerleading for it enough or just really ultimately didn't want

it so much.

Then, um, good luck.

Good, the whole, the whole notion of Republican lead to that, that that,

I think that's the, that's the thing that gives me midterm pessimism.

Because if we can't do this, what in the world can we do?

So let's say what I can do this, Lord, we thank you every day for this

blessed nation for your hand in creating it.

Fill our hearts with the energy to defend the freedoms which come from you,

which our nation was founded to protect.

These are times filled with opportunity to improve our great nation.

As we fight for what we believe in, help us to carry a positive spirit,

treating others as we would want to be treated.

We know we are always going to face challenges.

So lift us as we follow your word and work for a better America where a

constitution is honored, our borders work, where our schools, our public spaces,

our places of worship, our safe, where we protect the unborn.

We fight for the definition of the two sexes you created and where we navigate

our differences with honesty and goodwill and where our freedoms of speech and

worship are protected.

As we face each day's problems, give us the clarity to look around,

cherish our many blessings in our nation, our great state of Texas,

our communities and our families.

We follow you, Lord, we know we can get through anything and we ask these

things in your holy name, Amen.

All right.

So I want to thank God for inventing the DVR or for creating whoever did invent

the DVR, enabled us to do things last night, eat dinner, talk to each other,

experience life.

And then at around nine 30 roll out with the Oscars and watch a three and a half

hour show in about 45 minutes.

So I got all the big moments.

And of course, Hollywood annoys me like it should any conservative.

I had gripes with one of the big winners, not so much with some of the

others. And in fact, there are a couple of things a couple of moments.

In fact, they were pretty great.

And I'll mention a couple of those to Mike.

But you know, in the reason by and it's funny, I probably have seen more of the

Oscar nominated movies this year than most of the last five or six or seven years.

I don't know.

And you know, and I still like going, I listen, I love a movie coming to my house,

sit on the couch, fire it up, pause it when you got to go pee.

It's the best.

But we still like we've got, you know, when the one in theaters down the road,

got a big old recliner and they bring you food.

How do you not love that?

So we've done a bunch.

We probably, I don't know 12 or 15.

And it's not just Oscar nominated stuff.

We did scream seven, which was stupid fun.

We did, uh, I just all the football manner of things.

Well, let me take the break and come back because I want to get you ready.

As I get ready for this weekend's opening of the most anticipated movie in my life in decades.

Get ready, seven, 23.

Not a bad 40 year old record.

All right, what's noteworthy about this?

It's not and Nancy Wilson on the leave.

She is 72 today.

I heard her interviewed on the wonderful Billy Corgan podcast,

podcast, the magnificent others.

She talks about folks in music and the popular culture.

And she talks about that where her heart went from being sort of 1970s,

heart, dreamboat, Annie Little Queen, dog and butterfly, which I just loved.

And then kind of went to MTV Heart.

And there's a great record.

These dreams lyrics on that, uh, Bernie Topin, open John's guy.

But, uh, they just weren't writing their own songs anymore.

Just felt kind of different.

Anyway, Ann Wilson, Billy Corgan, check it out.

Uh, okay.

It opens Friday.

You can find some showings on Thursday.

We found one.

So on Thursday at four ish, we're going to see Project Hail Mary.

And I'll have a review for you on Friday.

This, uh, you know, who gave this book to me or pointed me toward this book?

State Senator Phil King.

We were talking, we were talking about something going on.

I don't know, something legislative, something, something.

They said, found this great book.

I went, okay.

And it was by Andy Weir, the guy who had written the Martian.

You remember the Matt Damon sci-fi classic that also was a great movie.

Uh, and so it was just one of my favorite books.

And it, the praise for this movie, it's, it's too much.

It's gushing.

If one more person tells me that this is ET meets interstellar,

Spielberg meets Kubrick meets what, I mean, with Ryan Gosling as

Ryland Grace, the unassuming science teacher who finds himself on an unthinkable

mission to literally save humanity and runs across a creature from another world,

tasked similarly to save his world.

I have a tiny complaint because the creature that he meets is,

I can only picture it in my head from the book.

And so this was going to be one of the great reveals what Rocky, this,

this creature looks like.

It's all over the, um, the previews.

It's like, oh, there he is.

Okay, it's almost like, I guess is that just today's world?

We're just revealing, we, we see all the Super Bowl ads the week before the

Super Bowl.

Oh, well, anyway, Project Hail Mary out this weekend.

And I just, just, it's apparently going to be fantastic.

If it could live up to this hype, we're talking.

All right, living up to the hype of our daily M&M experience,

everybody might Galagher joins us next right now, 731.

Mary Rose is in the newsroom.

I'm Mark Davis.

Usually it's like Barbara Strysan's birthday.

The only thing will drag her out because she annoys us as conservatives.

But last night,

well, this is definitely, yeah, this is definitely not from last night.

No, no, oh, oh, are you going to, are you going to

chat babs for not having the pipes at 84 that she had here when she was 34 when

that movie came out?

Oh, man, sometimes, let's just say sometimes it's disappointing.

Here in 84 year old up on stay, you got to see the Michael Savage quote.

It's the funniest thing he goes, that's how she sounded like a yenta at the

bokeh retirement home trying to do to the talent show on a Saturday night.

Well, I will, I will tell you, this is part of why as these vintage, I mean,

vintage acts come rolling back through your AC DC, your stones, and I guess the

stones, I mean, do you want to just be in the same room as somebody who you know

cannot sing in their 70s or more the way they did in their 30s?

For some, the answer is a decided, yes, for others, but some of them, but some of

them can try to math this sounds exactly today like he did 50 years ago.

He does not.

Yes, he did.

I was told he does not have you been to a Johnny Math, have you been to a

Johnny Math?

I have seen, I've seen video of Johnny Mathis.

That's the one in the room.

It's great.

It's very, he absolutely sounds great.

Is it the sound like she did last night?

You are correct.

Before we're talking about last night's Oscars, they're, they're paid tribute to all

the people who have passed and Robert Redford, one of the, the chief among them.

And they brought out for a tribute, Barbara Streisand, who started with him in

1973 in the way we were.

And as she did the tribute, which was lovely, she didn't sang the last few bars of the

way we were.

And I thought it was wonderful.

I, and she makes me nuts, of course, but I just thought it was beautiful and wonderful.

And now you're, you know, chapter for not being able to sing like she's 34.

I'm not real sure.

Beautiful and wonderful.

It was as far as her, her tribute, how about, how about the bill, how about the Billy

Crystal tribute to, to, to Robin Michelle, right?

It was lovely.

It was lovely.

It was fine.

I'm sorry.

And I, I finally bailed and started watching, you know, catching up on land, man.

I don't know any of, I don't know any of the movies.

I don't know any of the actors, I don't care, I don't care about it.

I don't care about any of the, first of all, first of all, I'm sitting there waiting

to laugh at something Conan O'Brien says.

Yeah.

There was nothing funny.

I love Conan.

I, I'm a huge fan.

This was, it was not the show itself, just not great.

It was just, it was just bland.

It wasn't funny.

They're, they're, they're trying so hard to tell jokes.

Let me tell you how bad the broadcast was.

I guess they thought it was going to be cute to have some British guy be the announcer

in London.

I don't know what that's all about.

I don't either.

And, and, and guess what?

They couldn't get the audio to work.

Did you notice that every time somebody got an award, and I like hearing the backstory.

Oh, they've been nominated 19 times, and this is the first, this is, I mean, I'm more

of a, exactly.

Once again, once again, Diane Warren, fort, she's never won.

That woman that writes, and apparently nobody likes her, apparently she's a hag.

Nobody likes, they think she's a terrible, not very pleasant person.

Maybe that's what's against her, because she's only been nominated 14 times, and she's

never won an Oscar.

But anyway, I like to hear that.

You couldn't hear the guy.

The music was, and incidentally, the audience, you notice that bad, the audio when, when

Babs came out.

Yep.

You could barely hear her.

The music was dressed.

You figure it out.

The audio.

So I thought, you know what?

Goodbye.

I'll see you later.

I didn't get it.

What, what is sinners?

Is that the, what was the best picture?

Okay.

Oh, God.

Okay.

Well, it, it wasn't sinners.

Here's the thing.

Sinners is, is a very southern Gothic semi horror thing.

Michael B. Jordan, Delroy Lindo.

It was wonderful.

It, it's, it's okay.

It's a lot coming at you.

But the awards won by that didn't bother me.

It doesn't bother me.

They were thoroughly deserved.

Ryan Cougler with the writing and the directing on that.

Michael B. Jordan for best actor at a wonderful speech, but dog on it, Mike, this one battle

after another, it is garbage.

It, look, okay.

I got it.

I got a reset.

I got a reset.

What, wait a minute.

What, wait a minute.

What did you just say?

What, what's one battle after another?

The winner for best picture.

Oh, I thought you were talking about battling at the ask.

No, no, no, no.

The movie's called one battle after another.

And then it's, it's, it's de caprio.

Sean Pan.

I mean, there's so much talent in it, but it's basically a two and a half hour screed

against strong borders.

It's evil if you want strong borders.

It's like, nah.

It was a piece of art that had its worthiness, but the reason it won all this stuff is the politics

of it.

Well, this is so weird.

You and Lisa still go to the movies.

Yep.

And like, I used to go to the movies and I barely go to the movies anymore.

I'd rather stay home, wait till it gets streamed.

I don't like going to the movies anymore.

I mean, they're trying hard to.

They got reclining seats and the size.

It's food.

You know, food.

They have diet.

They have diet.

They have diet.

They bring you surf and turf to your, to your seat.

Because you know why?

Because people aren't going to the movies.

That's true.

That's true.

And the obnoxious people talking and getting on their phones.

And I just, I just don't, and I don't know any of it.

So, you know, let me just, here's an experiment.

Okay, when's the last time you actually went and did a theater and did the whole thing?

When's the last time you did it?

A year ago?

Okay.

Maybe.

I remember what it was.

Do me a favor.

I'll send you the $18, whatever it takes these days.

Please do project Hail Mary with me this weekend.

Okay.

Ryan God's railer looks good.

It's, it's, it is apparently I'm, again, it's just the praise is too much.

It's just too much and can't, well, I can't possibly live up unless it does.

And I would love to know your thought that I'm half kidding.

Sure.

I'll be there Thursday night.

And I'll have a thought about it on Friday.

What are you?

Are you a teenage girl?

You're going to go first night for this.

Did you go to the, did you go to the, did you go to the wicked screen?

For the night.

You can't do it.

Give me a break.

Thursday night.

Thursday, Thursday afternoon actually.

So, yeah.

Oh, I got you.

Yeah.

As soon as it comes out.

You bet.

Well, you two, I love that.

I actually do love that.

And I don't mean to bag on that.

Good for you.

You and your bride heading out there and going to the movie.

Look, look, let's talk about what I.

My favorite.

The last thing.

My favorite award.

My favorite moment.

The, the, just effusively Irish Jesse Buckley.

Uh, for, she, she won for, for Hamlet, uh, where she plays Shakespeare's wife.

Hamlet.

Hamnet.

Hamnet, though, which is the name of their son.

Hamnet.

Right.

The movie Hamlet is sort of a tribute, a sideways tribute to their son.

I won't give too much.

I want to race right out.

I know.

I don't want to miss that.

It's the 16th century and it's heavy accents.

So you're out.

I don't want to miss that.

She was great.

It was glorious.

I'm glad about that.

Go what you got.

Oh, good for you.

Good, good.

Well, you know, what I'd rather do is watch a funny TV series or something or watch Landman.

And I was thinking about the funny TV series when it came to my big day tomorrow.

Tomorrow's colonoscopy day.

So this is.

I'm off tomorrow.

Oh, yeah.

I'm in a bad mood already because get ready.

I just had my eggs and my cheese.

That's all I'm allowed to have today to eat.

What?

Now it's diet sprite all day.

Oh, yeah.

You got to go to a liquid diet in about two hours.

And let me tell you how bad this breath.

Oh, yeah.

It's bad.

Oh, this is a beating.

This is a beating.

We can put a man on the moon and we can't do a colonoscopy without just torture.

How would you like to be flushed out?

How would you like to have your intestines emptied of everything?

Here's what they're going to do at five o'clock today because there's no more liquid anymore.

Now you take capsules.

You take tablets.

You got to take 12 tablets over an hour.

You got to take one every five minutes at five o'clock today.

All right.

Now, all right.

And then round one starts.

And don't know what that means.

Don't plan anything.

Right.

You stay home.

Stay close to home.

Have an iPad.

Now, are you ready for this?

Then you got to do it all over again at three in the morning.

I got to get up in the middle of the night and take a tablet every five minutes for an hour at three in the morning.

And then go be show up at the doctor's office at eight o'clock for the procedure.

Better remember that.

Now, the horrible tasting liquid, but it didn't make me get up and didn't make me get up in the middle of the night.

Did I do it the middle of the night?

Maybe the liquid's better.

Maybe the whole evening.

So here's your choice.

Liquid the taste slight death, but you don't have to get up in the morning.

You don't have to get up in the middle of the night.

Or you got to get up in the middle of the night for a regiment of tablets.

I had the tablets.

Well, and you're thinking about the funny.

So here's the thing about the funny TV series.

I think it was arrested development.

You used to have a doctor who would all it was a very funny running bit where he would say things to the family like.

I'm sorry, but your son isn't going to make it.

And they're like, what?

What?

He's not going to.

And then he'd say, well, you know, to the lunchtime because it's going to have a peanut butter.

He would say bear terrible things up front.

Yeah.

They'd all free.

Well, that's what I thought about when the colonoscopy doctor last week told me.

Yeah, Mike.

It's been three and a half years.

And, you know, the last time we found two.

And I forget the kind of tubanubular molecule.

But they found pre-cancer.

Did the word polyp come out of his mouth?

Yeah, they were pre-cancerous polyps.

They found the bad kind three and a half years ago.

And because when we find those kind, we want to get you in every three years or so.

So it's been three and a half years.

You really do.

He said, now we got to get you in because he said, I have to tell you.

I've been finding a lot of cancer cases.

He said, last year, I only had six cancers that I discovered through the colonoscopy.

This year, I've already found nine.

Now, he's telling me this mark.

My eyes are starting to bulge open.

My mouth is hanging open.

I'm like, do you know who you're talking?

I'm like, you think this is helping me?

This isn't productive.

I mean, and I said to that, I said, well, Dr. Spachemmon, you know, from 30 Rock.

Hey, Dr. Spachemmon, you think you're giving me any encouragement?

You found nine already?

Yeah.

And he said, well, then he said, well, yeah, but that's why we get in there and we snip him out and everything.

Well, now I'm a nervous wreck because he's already found nine.

And then I talked to Phil and Diana Boyce over the weekend about it.

And Diana says, well, you know why they found nine?

Because of the COVID vaccine.

People that got the COVID vaccine, they're getting polyps and they're getting cancer.

And they're, so then I'm thinking, oh, great.

Now because I got the COVID vaccine, I'm going to be filled with, you know, with tumors to tomorrow.

So that's my day.

So welcome to my world.

I'm speaking of medicine and stuff.

Another rarity, another real rarity happened over the weekend.

And I haven't seen all of it yet.

Apparently a fairly funny episode of Saturday Night Live.

Harry Styles was almost, okay, did you see the, the, the, the, the parody of the pit?

It's maha hospital where somebody comes under the broken leg.

And so we need this and that.

So that's that.

No, we need whole milk and beef towel.

And then arms and beef towel comes in.

Drop and give me 20.

Listen, see, we're the side that has a sense of humor.

And if something is funny, you always forgive.

And if it's, you know, we probably find it.

You know who probably find it.

The funny.

Bobby Kennedy.

Bobby Kennedy.

And you're probably laughing.

And so we have, we do have a sense of humor.

They do not.

And by the way, nobody's having a sense of humor about this world war three going on with Candace Owens and Megan Kelly and Mark Levin.

Have you seen the latest what Megan Kelly is calling Mark Levin?

I have.

And I have to fight.

I have to fight against my own boredom.

Because these are people I care about.

I love Levin.

I used to love Megan.

And I used to have basic respect for Candace.

None of those are true anymore, except I still love Levin.

But they're just me, me, me, me, me.

More a loomer.

She's in the mix.

Of course.

I mean, listen to this post from Caroline Ren.

I think this isn't kind of what you're saying.

I like Laura Loomer.

I like Tucker Carlson.

I like Candace Owens.

I like Ben Shapiro.

I like Megan Kelly.

I listen to all of them.

They've got drastically different views regarding America's role in the Middle East.

And that's okay.

I love hearing all their opinions at the end of the day.

But, but here's the thing though, they're killing each other.

They're going at each other with, with, with cudgles and, and, and two by fours.

Yeah.

There's a guy named Matt Van Swahl, who's a social media influencer.

And he's kind of a guy that, a citizen that just became an influencer.

I think he lives in Western North Carolina.

He writes an article, long article that I've reposted it on, at Gallagher Show at X.

And I want to talk about it on the show today.

The right has a prod, has a podcast problem.

And it might cost us an election.

This isn't helpful all this fighting.

How about we, we, we unite and fight against the loony leftist Democrats who want to kill this country.

I have good news.

You know, you want to have a good news?

Give me some good news of all of those things.

All the, the people you mentioned all have sizable followings, but the number of people

hinging their day on what Megan said about Levin or what Candace said with Tucker,

the percentage of real human beings caring about that is very small.

That's very inside our bubble.

I'm told, I'm told turning point USA right now is facing some real struggles.

Now, I think they're facing struggles because of losing Charlie.

Yeah.

I think Charlie was turning point.

Yeah.

On the other hand, some would make the argument Candace hasn't helped them at all.

Candace's attacks on them have hurt with donors and have hurt with support.

I don't think you can underestimate their influence, Mark.

I don't know.

You may be right.

You may be right.

Maybe it's not enough.

I hope so too, but if not, it could cost us an election.

And we're going to talk about that in a whole lot more.

Let's do it.

And I'm grumpy.

I've only had eggs.

And now I got to drink the damn diets for the rest of the day.

Grumpy, grumpy, hungry Mike is the best Mike.

And he's not a purple jello.

Oh, heaven forbid, it's purple jello because I don't want them to mix up a scoop of jello

with, you know, a thing growing inside me.

So I got the yellow jello and I got the diet sprite.

And I'll see you Wednesday.

Maybe.

Maybe, maybe not.

We can't wait for the story.

So thoughts for Mike.

You can hear his thoughts as soon as we're at 10 o'clock.

660 AM.

The answer.

So with movies on our mind,

into the way, way, way, way, way, way, way back machine.

Oh, listen sister.

I love mom.

We got a 1946.

And I can't.

Carol Bruce.

A cast of showbos.

Why I should love that man.

soundtrack album was a big, big hit there in the summer of 1946.

Can't help loving that man.

Of course they did.

The big finish at the end.

Oh, man.

Rival.

I'll let somebody else do it.

And let's carry ourselves into the end of clock hour.

It's 666-5759.

Mark Davis.

660 AM.

The answer.

Stick around.

Loving that man of mine.
