SPEAKER 07 : 0:19

Megyn Kelly wrote a column that points out how we are all saying thank God an awful lot these days. Since November the 5th, we have been saying it many, many times. Things are about to change in America for the good in the world, and it’s already beginning. My gosh, yesterday’s sort of shocking verdict from the jury in New York, not guilty for Daniel Penny, the Marine, who was just ridiculously charged with murder, manslaughter, homicide, whatever, by the corrupt district attorney of New York. What an outcome that was. I don’t think anybody saw that coming. I think they figured they were going to have a hung jury. And yet the reality prevailed. Common sense kicked in, even to a New York City jury. Amazing. Amazing. And then came the revelation, it appears… that the murderer of the UnitedHealthcare CEO was nabbed in Altoona, Pennsylvania. I don’t know about you, but this story stinks to high heaven. Oh, they found him with five IDs and thousands in cash and the gun. So he’s so brilliant that he’s sitting in a McDonald’s days after the shooting. He’s one of America’s most wanted people. He’s got all the tools of the crime with him in a McDonald’s. And he’s sitting there getting recognized by some McDonald’s worker and two police officers, including a rookie officer from Altoona, Pennsylvania. None of his family turned him in? His parents? His friends? I mean, this is a smart kid. valedictorian, accomplished, popular, social, had a lot of people who knew him. Nobody called the cops when we saw the picture of him flirting with the girl in the New York City hostel. What? This is bizarre. I hate to go all conspiracy theorist on you, but this isn’t adding up. The word patsy comes to mind. The word patsy seems to apply. And already, the few remarks he’s made, he doesn’t know where the cash came from. He claimed that the cops planted that. He apparently had a backpack that was designed to block cell phone calls. waves or whatever you call it from the cell phone. He said, no, that isn’t true. It was waterproof. Look, something about this is weird. They’re going to extradite this kid from Pennsylvania to New York. But I’m having a hard time accepting how we know everything about the guy now. Everything. He had back surgery that went awry. He had a beef with the health care industry. He hated the health care insurance companies. He was this. He was that. Within minutes of his arrest, they found him giving his valedictorian speech at school. They found all these. They got all these pictures of him. Meanwhile, what about the guy that tried to kill Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania? We don’t know anything about him. What about him? What was his story? He nearly assassinated the 47th president, the 45th and the 47th president of the United States. That story’s gone. No information. They killed him. It’s over. Nobody, no interest in that guy. But this guy, oh, we know everything about him. We’ve got pictures. We’ve got videos. We’ve got his – they’ve still got – I think his ex-account is still up. Elon Musk apparently doesn’t want to take it down. They started to take it down, but it’s still there. And it’s fascinating to scroll through his posts because, look, this guy is smart. This guy is super intelligent. He’s an Ivy League grad. He’s wealthy. He’s, you know, got the chiseled body in a McDonald’s. I don’t know how many people that look like him eat Big Macs. This is a weird, weird story. And I wonder if you feel the same way I do. 1-800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453. Something about this stinks to high heaven. It’s too convenient. It’s all too tidy. And it’s the one thing that I can’t get over. Nobody in his circle recognized that picture, recognized him from the widely circulated picture. A rookie cop in Altoona, Pennsylvania recognizes him, but not his own family. Apparently his family owns a talk radio station, I think, in Baltimore, Maryland. His family’s wealthy. I think his mother’s a doctor. And the kid is super smart. I say kid. What is he, 26? He is super, super intelligent. I mean, he’s talking about on his social media feed, AI and, you know, the metamorphosis of the physiology of the human condition. I mean, this kid is really smart. So I don’t know. I’ve got to turn it over to you. You think he acted alone? You think he had any help? You think he pulled this off all by himself because of his back problems? Yeah, well, if he had back problems, considering where he’s headed for the rest of his life, he’s going to have a lot of back problems. 800-655-MIKE. Welcome in.

SPEAKER 04 : 10:32

He’s the happy conservative warrior. From the Relief Factor Studios, here’s Mike Geller.

SPEAKER 07 : 10:42

I appreciate the clarity of people like Scott Jennings from CNN who filled in for me last week for a day. That was pretty cool. By the way, pardon me, I’m just testing Denise’s preacher cookie recipe. My Denise, every Christmas, had a recipe for something she called preacher cookies. It was handed down by her mom, who got it from her mom in West Virginia. And they’re bakeless cookies. You don’t bake them. They’re so good. They’re so rich. Dr. Ashley Lucas is going to have me in timeout because they’re not PhD compliant. Look, it’s Christmas. When you’re on PhD weight loss, you know what to do. And my life now, I will be monitoring carefully what I eat. And sometimes if you go a little overboard, you get back on the bandwagon, you know what to do. Tracy’s, I think, posting the recipe at mikeonline.com. They’re so good. It’s like chocolate and vanilla and oats. And again, bakeless, so you don’t cook it. You just whip it up and you’ll see on the recipe. Anyway, it’s a Christmas tradition that we always like to share. And we honor my late wife with her wonderful recipe, the preacher cookies. And my kids, we always eat them. And so I made a little batch last night, just tried a couple. I can’t make them as good as she did, but they’re pretty good. You can go to mikeonline.com. Look, we’re in the Christmas season. We’re 15 days away from Christmas. We’re 15 days from, you know, one of the most important commemorations in our country celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. And In that Christmas spirit, I want to go back to what Scott Jennings said last night on CNN. And that is kind of going back to the basics. I am completely befuddled by people who don’t seem to recognize the difference between good and evil. We have two huge stories. Two huge stories. Yesterday, a Manhattan, New York jury… acquitted Daniel Penny, the Marine, who was the Good Samaritan on the subway, should have never, ever… Look, there are already calls for Alvin Bragg to resign. It was a shameful charge. It was wrongheaded. It was unwarranted. It was a cynical prosecution. It was ridiculous. And even a New York jury saw it. You know, New York has juries capable of coming up with 34 felony convictions of the 45th and soon to be 47th president of the United States. And Alvin Bragg saw fit to try to lock up this Marine for being a hero. He’s a good guy, okay? And as Scott Jennings, as you’re about to hear on a clip that I want to play for you, Scott Jennings had to write a chart on CNN. Here’s the good guy, Daniel Penny. Here’s the bad guy, Luigi Mangione, who is charged with brutally assassinating the UnitedHealthcare CEO. He’s not a good guy. He’s a bad guy. Check out what Scott Jennings said last night on CNN.

SPEAKER 12 : 14:19

I want to bring in the politics of this because when I hear lawmakers hailing Penny as a hero, as a good Samaritan, really being promoted, can you help me understand the thinking? We started at the top of the show talking about the killer of the UnitedHealthcare CEO being hailed in similar terms.

SPEAKER 13 : 14:37

Yeah, let me just help you understand. If you’re on the American left tonight… Here’s my chart. The good guys today, Daniel Penny. The bad guys, Luigi Mangione. It seems to me… How do you… Everybody on the left… What’s the chart for victims? I’m just telling you what I see out in the world.

SPEAKER 12 : 14:53

I know, I know. I just want you to finish the chart. Which victim is good and which victim is bad?

SPEAKER 13 : 14:58

What I’m telling you is… That’s not on the second page? People on the left… People on the left can’t seem to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys.

SPEAKER 12 : 15:06

I’m not actually asking you about people on the left. I’m asking you whether you consider this person. I want to know whether you think that, as Congressman Crane does, that Daniel Penny should get the Congressional Gold Medal to recognize his heroism. I’m not asking you about anyone else.

SPEAKER 13 : 15:22

I think he ought to get a medal. I think he ought to build a statue to this guy in New York City.

SPEAKER 03 : 15:26

And I’m going to say it. I’m going to say the dreaded R word. Race plays a role in this. Right. And so we see it. Yes, absolutely. Because wasn’t there a similar case in New York City? Statistics say that when people kill people who are white, they tend to get harsher sentences, especially if they’re people of color. What about the Jordan? That is what happened. in our criminal justice system. No, I’m not going to stop because race absolutely plays a role in this.

SPEAKER 13 : 15:53

I said, what about the Jordan Williams case here in New York? Same situation. African-American gets on a subway, ends up killing a guy. Grand jury tosses it out at the exact same time as the penny.

SPEAKER 11 : 16:03

That’s different.

SPEAKER 07 : 16:07

That’s different. Yeah, there is a difference. The guy who stabbed the… criminal on the subway in New York to death was black. Daniel Penny is white. This is unbelievable. I feel like I’m going crazy listening to these conversations. So Scott Jennings writes a real simple chart. Hey, newsflash. Luigi Mangione is a bad guy. Newsflash, Daniel Penny is a good guy, and that leads to a debate? Did you hear the pushback he got? What about the victims of health care recipients who get denied coverage? What? Can you imagine, hypothetically, the head of the IRS being assassinated and people sitting around justifying that assassination because we don’t like paying taxes or we don’t think taxes are fair? Do I think that half of Americans not paying any federal income tax at all, getting the benefit of roads and infrastructure and all the great things that Americans get, and half of Americans or more pay no federal income tax? Do I think that’s fair? No. Do I want anybody at the IRS harmed because of it? Of course not. Nobody likes the price of groceries. Do I think it’s fair that poor people have a hard time buying eggs or bread or butter or milk in the grocery store? No, it’s bad. It’s terrible. That’s a big reason why Trump won. We’ve got to fix this. We’ve got to turn this economy around. Do I want grocery store owners killed? And there’s a guy on CNN, the one lone conservative that they let speak on that network, who writes a chart. Daniel Penny, good guy. Luigi Mangione, bad guy. Oh, what do you mean, Scott? That’s a debate? There’s an argument to that? My gosh. Look, Megyn Kelly wrote a great article on her site, megynkelly.com, talking about Daniel Penny being found not guilty. She said, I think all of us are feeling the same thing. First, thank God. And second, how on earth was he charged in the first place? She writes, here’s what Megyn Kelly said. This feels like divine intervention because that thug, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, brought these charges where they should have never been brought to begin with. And then, as his case was falling apart Friday, he refused to accept a mistrial when the jury was hung. Megyn says… Thank God is something we are thinking a lot these days. And a lot of us have said that since November 5th many, many times. I believe she’s right. But I’ve got to ask you, what is with the difficulty in knowing who the good guys are and the bad guys are? This feels biblical. It’s like good is portrayed as evil. Evil is characterized as good. Up is down. Look at a debate on CNN over who the good… Do you have any doubt that Daniel Penny is the good guy? And Luigi Mangione is the bad guy? Are you struggling with that? Can you tell me what the struggle is, please? Welcome in to a Tuesday episode of the Mike Gallagher Show here in the Relief Factor Studios. 800-655-MIKE. We’ve got 15 days to go until Christmas.

The biggest concern is our debt. And as a country, it doesn’t matter where you fall on the political divide. This debt is going to crush every single one of us. And to quote Elon, he said something extremely important. Every single payment that the federal government pays out, we need to be checking those payments to see if they’re legitimate. And that’s something that hasn’t been done. I don’t know if it’s ever been done.

I got to get this off my chest over the arrest of Luigi Mangione at the Altoona, Pennsylvania, McDonald’s. If you’re not cynical about it, I think you’re incredibly naive. There is something really, really fishy about all of it. Charlie Kirk posted this this morning. I agree with Charlie entirely. There’s no way you honestly believe they found the UnitedHealthcare CEO’s killer five days later. He’s still wearing the exact same clothes, has the murder weapon on him, and has a written manifesto in his pocket. He’s just chilling at McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania with the weapon and a manifesto. And a McDonald’s employee evidently recognized him. The Altoona cops show up. The rookie cop in Altoona, he recognizes him. Oh, and they’ve already revealed the contents of his manifesto. He believed killing the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, was a symbolic takedown and a direct challenge to the healthcare company’s corruption and power games. He was upset about the profits of health care companies. Now, the irony of this is the wealthy family this kid comes from. You think he got an Ivy League education just for free? Family owns apparently a radio station. I think his mother’s a doctor. This kid came from a privileged, wealthy background. And speaking of the MyPillow text line, how about this comment? Luigi is what happens when you take a spoiled, soft-headed, entitled brat and run him through the socialist programming of an Ivy League university. Oh, wow, didn’t see this coming. Thank God for the MAGA movement. Yeah, thank God. We’re saying that a lot these days. But something about this doesn’t seem right. Christian Russell on our team feels the same way as me. Now, look, I’m going to probably get flack for it. You’re going to think I’m a conspiracy theorist. Nah, there’s something too pat about this. The word patsy comes to mind. There’s something bizarre about, oh, he’s got the same clothes. Oh, look at the backpack. He didn’t lose the very distinguished looking or distinguishable backpack. Now they’re reporting it was the backpack that did him in. That somebody recognized the backpack as the same backpack that had been in all the surveillance photos. Oh, he doesn’t ditch the backpack? No, no. He doesn’t even get rid of the murder weapon. He’s sitting in a McDonald’s. Oh, and then when the police said, have you been to New York lately? He suddenly got quiet and began trembling and shaking. Nah, there’s something stinks to high heaven about this case. There’s something that doesn’t add. And incidentally, what do you know about the monster who tried to assassinate Donald Trump? What do you know about him? What do you know? What are the details of that creep’s life? Oh, we don’t even know. Bet you don’t even know his name. But everybody knows this guy’s name now, huh? But the guy who crawled up on the roof and nearly took Donald Trump’s head off, oh, we don’t know much about him. He went away. He faded away. Not a lot there. But this guy, oh, we know. We got his valedictorian speech. Look at him. There he is on the stage giving a speech. Oh, yeah. Now we know exactly what he’s all about. We know he had a back surgery and he was in pain. He didn’t like the way the health care system, I guarantee you he didn’t have any financial troubles coming from the background this kid came from. And, you know, I thought they found the backpack in New York Central Park. Oh, what, did he have multiple backpacks? The same kind of backpack? Oh, and he had a manifesto and he praised the Unabomber? Charlie Kirk is right. This story makes zero sense. We’re supposed to believe that this guy’s wearing the exact same clothes that are all over the Internet, all over the media… Somebody wrote, this has to be the most cartoonishly convenient arrest in history. Would he pay for the Big Mac with a credit card in his own name? Maybe he wrote, I did it, and scribbled that on a Happy Meal box. He’s either the world’s most incompetent criminal, or someone really wants us to believe they wrapped this case up with a nice little bow. So what is the real play here, somebody posted on social media? Is this guy a patsy? Or did he just take dumb criminal to a whole new level? Something about this is not, it doesn’t pass the smell test for me. But maybe it does for you. Let’s find out. Trish is in Gastonia, North Carolina. Hey, Trish, Merry Christmas. Welcome to the Mike Gallagher Show.

SPEAKER 11 : 31:07

Thank you, Mike. Now, you’re dead on. There’s something really fishy about that whole situation there. That’s not adding up. Nope. But on the whole penny thing, I’m thankful for that acquittal. I think the evil has been in four years now, and I think the tide has turned. Things are looking up now.

SPEAKER 07 : 31:27

It just feels like something is different, Trish. You’re so right. There’s something in the air. Everybody’s got an extra spring in their step. And I think November 5th did it. Would Daniel Penny have been acquitted if Kamala Harris had won the presidency? There’s a lot of strange political overtones to all that’s going on around us. But I completely agree with… with Megyn Kelly, who said, we’re all saying thank God an awful lot these days. Zachariah in Colorado Springs. Hi, Zachariah. How are you? I’m good, Mike. How are you doing? Good, good. What’s up?

SPEAKER 09 : 32:05

Okay, so as far as I understand, they always say you can’t yell fire in a theater, and that’s illegal. But yet you can yell, I’m going to kill you in a subway, and suddenly it’s justified due to race. Park Newsom and them are all pushing. But in my opinion, it’s the same thing.

SPEAKER 07 : 32:26

As far as the guy that died in the subway when he scuffled with Daniel Penny, he was— Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER 09 : 32:33

There’s women and children on the subway. They can go nowhere. And on the video, he’s yelling, I’m going to kill somebody. Somebody takes action. So the guy yelling, I’m going to kill somebody, that’s the same as yelling fire in a theater. But why is he the innocent guy that just dances on the street for spare change?

SPEAKER 07 : 32:51

How does this Black Lives Matter leader, Hawk Newsom, get away with calling for violence in the streets as a result of the acquittal? How does he not get arrested?

SPEAKER 09 : 33:01

Well, what I don’t understand is Hawk Newsom’s pushing, oh, because we’re loud. It had nothing to do, you can be as loud as you want to on a subway. But what you can’t do… is say, I’m going to kill you, and there’s multiple targets in the place, and when someone takes action, sets him in his place, and he dies, just again, the same thing with the George Floyd thing, drugs in his system, long criminal record, suddenly he’s the angel that got caught in the crossfire, and Daniel Penney’s the vigilante. That doesn’t even make any sense in any world to me.

SPEAKER 07 : 33:31

Don’t you love how the media describes Jordan Neely on the subway as a subway rider?

SPEAKER 09 : 33:39

Oh, yeah, and then they always got a show like his junior high.

SPEAKER 07 : 33:43

Oh, I know. This guy’s a classic. This guy’s a doozy. He’s the head of BLM. I think he appeared on Fox News a while ago, didn’t he? I think he sat down and gave an interview to them. I mean, check out this guy after Daniel Penny was acquitted yesterday.

SPEAKER 08 : 34:01

We need some black vigilantes. That’s right. People want to jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud? How about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us?

SPEAKER 07 : 34:19

How about another doozy BLM leader, someone named Shavonna Newsom? Shavonna Newsom. Is she married to Hawk? Are they like a husband and wife? team of haters, of lunatics. I guess her name is Shavonna Newsom. Did you guys bleep this, incidentally? Because I don’t like the expression GD on the air. I don’t know if you bleeped that or not. I don’t want to take any chances. Let’s review that clip. She essentially said, I hope that the white people of America have a wonderful Christmas as the Jordan Neely family mourns. And then she said, GD them and GD America. Yeah, that’s great. And this is the kind of rhetoric that passes for discourse in New York City and beyond. The left, they’re nuts. These are nuts. These are kooks. And if you need Scott Jennings of CNN to tell you that Daniel Penny is the good guy and Luigi Mangione is the bad guy, you’ve got to get to a counselor, get to your pastor, look in the mirror, and take stock in your life because something’s wrong. Something’s wrong with you. 800-655-MIKE. One open line. Actually, two open lines right now. 800-655-6453.

I’m sharing Denise’s Christmas cookie recipe, the preacher cookie recipe. It’s back. It’s at MikeOnline.com. Tons of people are texting us for the recipe. My Denise made a cookie. It’s bakeless cookies called preacher cookies, she called them. She got the recipe from her mom. Her mom got them from her mom. They’re bakeless. You don’t put them in the oven. Try not to bake these. If you follow the recipe, you’ll love these. They’re rich. They’re delicious. They’re called preacher cookies. There’s different names for them. I’d like to think they’re just my Denise’s recipe, but a lot of people have had them. to the MyPillow text line, 800-655-MIKE. We’ll send you back the recipe just in time for Christmas. I’ll bet it’s sure to become a holiday tradition for you like it is for the Gallagher family. We’ve got a lot of Christmas traditions. We always watch National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. We have cheeseburgers, french fries, and milkshakes on Christmas Eve. We eat preacher cookies. We are just blessed. And I’m asking you to consider this Christmas time to donate to our Angel Tree campaign. Boy, do we have a long way to go. We’re over 3,000. But please, please, in the spirit of Christmas, and I’m stressed about this. I couldn’t sleep last night because I realized we’ve still got a couple thousand kids to go to get to our big goal of 5,416 kids. So thank you so much for supporting our Angel Tree campaign. Thank you so much for being generous. And every time I panic, you come through. So if you support our show, if you like what we do, if you are in it with us, we’re at 3,045 kids right now. We have a goal of 5,416 kids. So, boy, we got a ways to go. We need like a couple of big donors. What could I do for, I don’t know, $10,000, $20,000? Should I turn the show over to somebody? Should I go to you and buy you dinner? We’ve done that in years past. I always love it, though, when we hit our goal thanks to everybody collectively making, you know, normal-sized donations. So whatever you can, please, please, please support our Angel Tree campaign because we’ve only got 15 days until Christmas. And, you know, we’re always the envy of the company. This audience is the most generous audience imaginable. You’re beyond belief. But we’ve got a lot of work to do. We’ve got 2,400 more kids to support. So please go to MikeOnline.com to make your online donation. You’ll see the thermometer there, the counter, at the bottom of the banner there. Right now it says 3,045 children out of 5,416 children reached. $30 provides a child with a Bible, a Christmas present from their parent who is incarcerated, and a personal note from their mom and dad who’s behind bars. You’ll change that child’s life forever. And I’m hoping and praying that we have a really big day today. So let’s get up there close to 4,000 kids. Please give what you can. Go to MikeOnline.com and support our Angel Tree campaign. Well, we now know that Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is evidently an incel. I had to ask Christian on our team, what exactly does an incel mean? Not like he’s got experience in that, but apparently an incel is described, it’s like a social media term, an internet term, somebody who is a young man who is involuntarily celibate. Apparently, this guy had a back problem. And the back problem kept him from having sexual relations. And that’s why he was mad at the health care insurance industry. Here’s a former roommate of the alleged assassin, somebody named R.J. Martin, getting into details with CNN.

SPEAKER 06 : 41:02

I remember he said he had a back issue and he was hoping to get stronger in Hawaii. So he’s always focused on trying. When he first came, he went on a surf lesson with other members. And unfortunately, just a basic surf lesson, he was in bed for about a week. We had to get a different bed for him that was more firm. And I know it was really traumatic and difficult. You know, when you’re in your early 20s and you can’t do some basic things, it can be really, really difficult.

SPEAKER 07 : 41:27

Yeah, it can be very difficult. And that could lead you to getting a gun and creeping up behind a beloved father and husband and pumping bullets into his back. Because you’ve got, you know, back pain. I mean, and you know, they caught him yesterday. He had the manifesto, the gun, the same clothes he’s been wearing evidently all week. Just like that, presto. So we’re supposed to believe all that. You buying all this? I’m going to get… chided for being a wild-eyed conspiracy theorist, but I want to get this straight. We’re supposed to believe that this hitman, this killer, was caught five days after the murder, still wearing the same clothes from the crime scene, still with the murder weapon, and a written manifesto and cash, multiple fake IDs, all while chilling at McDonald’s. Just like it’s another day. Somebody described this as the most cartoonishly convenient arrest in history. Did you see the first report about how they, something to do with a, he used a fake ID in McDonald’s? What do you need an ID in McDonald’s for? Who uses an ID at McDonald’s? Look, I’ve been to every McDonald’s in America three times each. I’ve never had to present my ID anywhere. I’m on a first-name basis with every worker at McDonald’s everywhere in America. They don’t ask for your ID for what? And, oh, somebody in the McDonald’s recognized the backpack. Wait a minute, I thought they found the backpack in Central Park back in New York City. So is this guy a patsy, or is he just the world’s stupidest criminal? Oh, he took his mask down to flirt with the girl in the hostel. Oh, look at him shining his big pearly whites at the girl behind the counter. Oh, that’s how they got him. And I have to say, I am a big supporter of law enforcement. They’re claiming that he wasn’t even on their radar until they got the call from McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania yesterday. So wait a minute. That picture of him that went worldwide… didn’t spark any flicker of recognition from his family, his wealthy, privileged family. Apparently they own a radio station. They’re very wealthy. The mother’s a doctor or something. I mean, he’s got an Ivy League education. He’s popular. He was the school valedictorian. And nobody in his school recognized him. You saw the picture everywhere with that big smile. Real clear shot of his face, right? And nobody apparently recognized him until some guys that get together at McDonald’s every day. One of the guys, one of the men in the group said, that looks like the shooter. And then they called the police and the Altona police show up. And the rookie cop says, well, that looks like the shooter. And then they asked him, hey, Luigi, have you been to New York recently? Oh, and then he got nervous. And then he started trembling. That’s our shooter. And look what he’s got on him. Look, he’s got a gun. Oh, my goodness. He’s got the manifesto where he expressed admiration for the Unabomber. Uh-huh. Yep. This doesn’t pass the smell test, at least not to me. What did he do? Did he write a check for his hash browns and they needed an I.D.? ? And have you seen the pictures and the eyebrows? And people are texting me saying, yeah, look at the eyebrows. He’s got like a unibrow in one picture and in the other picture, not so much. None of this makes a lot of sense. Maybe it does for you. Welcome aboard. Let’s get your thoughts on all of it. Our number is 800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453. We’re in the Relief Factor studios for a Tuesday, December the 10th, 15 days before Christmas Day. Great to have you with us.

SPEAKER 07 : 46:12

There’s no better time than right now to call my friends at PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition to start your journey to a healthier you. As I hear from you about how PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition has changed your life, I know that each one of us has had our own reasons for starting. I started my journey because I gained enough weight and was ready to make a change. I sat down with Dr. Ashley Lucas, and like they say, the rest was history. I lost 53 pounds, and I’ve kept it off. We all have different reasons for starting. Maybe you got a discouraging diagnosis from your doctor. You needed to make a lifestyle change. One grandmother I talked to couldn’t chase her toddler grandson and was afraid he might get hurt in her care. Another gentleman had lower back and hip pain which forced him to give up golf. He wanted his life back. You want your life back? Do what I did. Start the PhD journey. Make 2024 your year to say goodbye and let go of all those unwanted pounds. I don’t really like working. I’m going to need a priority parking space.

SPEAKER 10 : 47:22

I only work remotely. How are your safe spaces? Can I bring my dog to work? Will your company protect me against microaggressions? You’re triggering me. Is this interview almost over?

SPEAKER 02 : 47:33

You don’t run a daycare. You run a business. So why use high-priced recruitment agencies who charge you up to 40% of an employee’s first-year salary? So they’re focused on getting you the costly talent, not the best fit. Which means you get more of this.

SPEAKER 10 : 47:47

What’s your policy on paying employees to attend protests? I demand eight weeks of vacation. I need at least 12 weeks of paid vacation. I’m going to need a lot of mental health days. Do you have a game room? My pronouns are Zs and Zs.

SPEAKER 02 : 48:01
