Listen as Mike unpacks the Democrats’ reaction to Elon Musk’s efforts to streamline government spending and their concerns over transparency. We’ll explore the complexities of customer service outsourcing, with advice on navigating thick accents that often frustrate American callers. Plus, learn about the exciting Patriots Alaska cruise and other intriguing topics in a show filled with humor and critical analysis.
Are you supportive of these onesies? I’m supportive of vaccines. Are you supportive of this clothing, which is militantly anti-vaccine?
SPEAKER 06 :
I am supportive of vaccines. I want good science, and I want to protect vaccines.
SPEAKER 07 :
But you will not tell the organization you founded not to continue selling that product.
SPEAKER 20 :
In the relieffactor.com studios, here’s Mike Gallagher.
SPEAKER 04 :
Are you supportive of the onesies? We want to know about the onesies. Those are today’s Democrat leaders. Those are the shining stars of the Democrat Party. Did you hear them yesterday outside the Treasury Department? They’re freaking out because Trump is demanding accountability for government spending. What a crazy idea. What a wild, wacky, bonkers thing that is. We want to know where taxpayer money is going. And if USAID is a giant slush fund for far-left activist progressive initiatives, well, the president has a right to know and determine whether we continue to spend billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars. So the president… has Elon Musk and his team of young whiz kids getting to the bottom of it. And the Democrats are melting down in a way that, frankly, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen ever. It’s just… I mean, I don’t even know where to, it’s like, look, I’m pretty good at this. I don’t even know where to start. I’ve got stacks of papers here in front of me and computers and stories. I mean, how about the exchange he had with a reporter at the White House yesterday with a heavy accent? You’ve got to hear this exchange. I think she’s from Afghanistan, if I’m not mistaken, and she’s got a very thick accent. Now, I can relate to this. I swear, I think I’m Trump’s doppelganger. He loves Diet Cokes. I love Diet Cokes. He loves Big Macs and McDonald’s. I love Big Macs and McDonald’s. He has trouble with people who have heavy accents. I have trouble with people who have heavy accents. When I call a customer service number and they answer the phone with a thick accent, I know I’m in big trouble, big trouble, because I’m not going to understand them. I have a hard time understanding British accents. If the British accent, I tried to suffer through Downton Abbey. I didn’t understand what anybody was saying. I mean, I don’t even understand any of it. Game of Thrones, if they’ve got a thick British accent, I don’t have a clue. I’m out. I have no idea. I can’t. I just have a glitch. Well, I think Trump has the same challenge. So a reporter stands up yesterday and asks him a question, and President Trump couldn’t understand her. This is how that went.
SPEAKER 13 :
Go ahead. I have a little hard time understanding you. Where are you from?
SPEAKER 16 :
No. Actually, it’s a beautiful voice and a beautiful accent. The only problem is I can’t understand a word you’re saying. But I just say this. Good luck. Live in peace.
SPEAKER 04 :
I can’t understand a word you’re saying, but I say this. Good luck and live in peace. Now, you know we’ve got to get T-shirts made that say good luck and live in peace. That’s going to be the mantra for the rest of my life. Good luck and live in peace. I can’t understand. I’m going to say that. When I call Verizon tomorrow and I get a, hello, welcome to Verizon, may I help you? I can’t understand a word you’re saying, but good luck and live in peace. I had a conversation the other day with a woman at American Express. I picked out about every fifth word she said. No idea. Which always makes me wonder, if you’re in the customer service business, and you’re in America, and you have to deal with English-speaking Americans, why do you have somebody whose job it is to take their phone call and their accent is so thick that you can’t understand them anyway? It makes no sense. Good luck and live in peace. You understand? Do you understand? that we will never see the likes of this guy again in our lifetime. We are never going to see another Donald Trump. Tracy just pointed out that Melania has a very thick accent. She does indeed. And I admit, as beautiful as she is, I have a hard time understanding Melania. Now, Melania probably shouldn’t be in a customer service position. I doubt that she ever will. I don’t think she’s ever going to have to go out and work for, you know, the phone company or the cable company answering phones. I think Melania is pretty well set for life. But heaven forbid if she was the Verizon representative or the Pure Talk. And Pure Talk, look, we don’t have that problem with Pure Talk. Pure Talk is astounding. U.S.-based customer service team, all the times I’ve dealt with Pure Talk and called Pure Talk, never had a problem, ever, once, understanding any of them. Because they are rock-ribbed Americans. They’re Americans. Grab your phone, dial pound 250, and when prompted, say the keyword Mike Gallagher, and you’ll get that great Pure Talk offer. $45 a month, unlimited talk, unlimited text, plenty of data, and a mobile hotspot, $45 a month. And when you push pound 250, and you’re prompted by the voice to say, what’s the keyword, and you say the keyword Mike Gallagher, you will reach an American at Pure Talk. They are based in the U.S. They are not in Mumbai. They are not over in Portugal. And I know it’s got to be me. Part of my problem is, like, I can’t do accents either. I can’t imitate. I can’t do accents. I’ve got a previous life. I don’t know if I’ll ever act again. Maybe someday I’ll get to. But I love theater and I love performing. And I’ve played a lot of roles over the years. And once in a while I was required to have an accent. When I was Mr. Bumble in Oliver, which was this great role. You know, Mr. Bumble, the mean taskmaster of the orphanage. And I had to have an English accent. Well, I can’t do it. And Cheryl Denson, bless her heart, the director, she’d say, Mike, can you please give me a better accent? And I don’t know how to do it. I mean, I remember when I was a little kid, I was in Oliver. Please, sir, I want some more. You know, I just know you say more, more. Oliver, Oliver, never before has a boy wanted more. I mean, isn’t that awful? I can’t do it. I don’t know how to do an English accent. Joe’s in Pittsburgh. Joe, do you have trouble with accents, too?
SPEAKER 18 :
Oh, Mike, yes, I do. I call my insurance company, and I get somebody that doesn’t speak a word of English. Well, they do, but… But you can’t understand them. What you got to do… What you got to do is always yell out, I want somebody on shore, and then they’ll put me on hold, and then I get somebody in the United States. But if I’m calling from the United States, why don’t I get somebody in the United States? I know.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, we know why.
SPEAKER 18 :
There ought to be a law.
SPEAKER 04 :
There’s a big problem. It’s all the outsourcing of jobs. It’s cheaper to hire somebody, a phone center, a call center in Mumbai than it is in Pittsburgh. That’s the problem. But then… But then you’ve got to ask for somebody on shore, and then you get somebody. So do you say… Because you’ve got to take the next step. So you say that? You say, I want to talk to somebody on shore?
SPEAKER 18 :
On shore, yeah. Especially like with Aetna Insurance. Right. I’ve called them because I’m recently retired.
SPEAKER 11 :
Right.
SPEAKER 18 :
And I just tell the lady or whoever answers, I want somebody on shore, and the next thing I know, I’m connected with some lady in Kentucky.
SPEAKER 04 :
So they will transfer you to somebody in the United States? They… They have to. Look, my luck, I’ll say I want somebody on shore, and they’re going to send me to the shore of Paris or France or something. They’re going to send me to Uruguay. I’ll get somebody worse. I mean, it’s the craziest thing, Joe. I’m with you. I just don’t get it. And when Trump said that yesterday, I thought that was perfection. Now, look, you don’t need to worry about a foreign language when you go to Alaska. And the Patriots Alaska cruise is selling out fast. Larry Elder and I, along with Joe Piscopo and Jennifer Horn, will be your hosts for the Seven Days of Majesty aboard the Eurodam, which is one of Holland America’s finest ships. There is just nothing like it. You’ve got to see Alaska. And even if you’ve been, you’ve got to go back. Whale watching, the bald eagles, the majesty of the fjords and the glaciers. And then we’re going to have a bunch of events on the ship. That’s what’s so fun. In addition to all the sightseeing of Alaska, when you’re on the ship, We’re going to get together at the Beautiful World stage. We’re going to have town hall style events. We’ll have performances. I think Joe Piscopo and I are going to sing a little bit duet. We’re going to have a ball. So, look, again, when they’re gone, they’re gone. There’s a limited amount of staterooms available, and I think it’s about $300 to plop down a deposit to hold your stateroom. It’s going to take place August 16th through the 23rd. We set sail out of Seattle, and then seven days. Ketchikan, all the great Great spots for one of the most beautiful summer vacations you’ll ever take. Go to TravelWithSalem.com to get all the information online. TravelWithSalem.com. That’s TravelWithSalem.com. Or just text the keyword Alaska to 800-655-MIKE. Text Alaska to our MyPillow text line, 800-655-6453. And we’ll send you back the link where you can learn all about the second annual Patriots Alaska cruise. Coming up… If you miss the Democrat mass psychotic breakdown outside the Treasury Department, all simply because Trump wants some accountability over the spending for agencies like USAID, well, get ready for the Democrats’ hysterical reaction coming up next.
SPEAKER 08 :
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from hell. Blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field?
SPEAKER 04 :
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.

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. Call 864-644-1900, 864-644-1900, or just go to MyPhDWeightLoss.com, MyPhDWeightLoss.com.
SPEAKER 20 :
He’s the happy conservative warrior. From the Relief Factor Studios, here’s Mike Gellinan.
SPEAKER 04 :
Pay attention to the people complaining about Elon Musk because anyone complaining about Elon Musk is the problem. Make no mistake about it. You better be aware of the Democrats’ meltdown over this brilliant guy who has been just viciously attacked by Democrats. They hate what this guy is achieving. And he’s achieving transparency and accountability, and the Democrats loathe that. They want to operate in the shadows. They want to spend your money any way they see fit. My gosh, two and a half weeks in, and the rocket ship continues to soar. Trump is shaking things up domestically. I mean, I don’t know where to start. Gaza? He wants us to take over Gaza? Now, I’m sure it’s a strategy that he’s got that’s part of a bigger picture. One theory a friend of mine advanced is that Trump wants everybody to be distracted by the shiny object. Oh, look at Gaza over here. Look at Gaza over here. And then he’s going to actually take over the Panama Canal, and we’re actually going to take over Greenland. But look at this meltdown yesterday. I was absolutely flabbergasted, and then I had to get great joy in watching Schumer and Maxine and Jasmine Crockett and these no-name, some of them were no-name radical leftist Democrat congresspeople just freaking out over Elon Musk. What are you freaking? And I also appreciate what somebody put on social media last night. The big Democrat mantra is, nobody voted for Elon Musk. Oh, yeah, we did. Yeah, we did. We voted for President Trump, who’s smart enough to put brilliant people like Elon Musk and his team of whiz kids on the case of saving the American taxpayer tons of money. a more efficiently run government, a government that is not sending taxpayer dollars overseas to fund Sesame Street for Iraq. And the Democrats are melting down because they are knee-deep in the corruption of it all. Last night, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy appeared with Jesse Watters on Fox News Channel. And it was a really important exchange because Kevin McCarthy perfectly describes Elon Musk. And Jesse and Kevin McCarthy talked about why the Democrats are in hysterics over Elon Musk.
SPEAKER 22 :
Check this out. So they’re saying Musk is unelected. He has all these powers that were not given to him by the American people. We’re going to hear that a lot. What’s Trump going to say about that?
SPEAKER 21 :
You’ve got to ask AOC, what does she drive? She bought a Tesla. She drives a Tesla. I’m sorry, Elon Musk is the Thomas Edison, Michelangelo of today. The man is brilliant. And you may not have elected him, but this is what Kennedy actually told us. Don’t ask what you get from your country, ask what you could do for your country. These young individuals, volunteering, sleeping on the cot because they could be making millions of dollars, but they’re willing to use their brainpower, the technology to who? To represent the hardworking taxpayer and speak for your money for once where you actually have a say in this.
SPEAKER 04 :
What a crazy idea. that there’s accountability so that do you realize this meltdown, this mass hysteria, it was as if the bus from the mental institution was on a field trip and patients got off the bus and went over to a podium and started screaming into a microphone. Led by people like Chuck Schumer. Is there anybody more cringeworthy than this nerdy, Awkward, goofy guy. This is one of the heads of the Democrat Party. This is their leadership today. Listen to what he sounded like yesterday. I’m going to stand with you in this fight and we will win.
SPEAKER 12 :
We will win. We will win. We will win. We will win. We will win. We won’t rest. We won’t rest. We won’t rest. We won’t rest. Thank you, everybody.
SPEAKER 04 :
If you’re watching on Salem News Channel, there was Schumer awkwardly grabbing Auntie Maxine’s hand. They’re flailing their arms about. Then the guy next to her is the guy with the cane. Who is that guy? He always wields that cane around like it’s a weapon. Like it’s got a big gold handle on the cane. It looks like he’s getting ready to attack Schumer. I was afraid for a minute he was going to start hitting Schumer over the head with the cane. But he’s really just waving the cane. It really is like a gathering of mental patients. And all over what? Over what? Accountability? Maybe we shouldn’t send taxpayer money over to a gender studies diversity program in Portugal. That’s our money. How about taking care of North Carolina? Think about all that anger. And it was off the charts. I sat there on the couch yesterday watching this thinking, seriously? Seriously? From Jamie Raskin to AOC to Pocahontas to anti-Maxine, they’re like a bunch of nuts and screwballs screaming because they’ve got nothing left. What are they going to do? We won’t rest? Okay, well then stay up night, Schumer, and stare at the ceiling. Because Trump is your president and Republicans are in control. And all you can do is scream. That’s all you’ve got left. What else are they going to do? What else are they going to scream? And honestly, I asked you this yesterday. I’ll ask you again. Don’t Democrats want fiscal responsibility? Don’t Democrats expect government efficiency? Don’t they think government is too big and bloated? Well, of course they don’t think that. They want a big, bloated, corrupt system where you and I are forced to pay for abortions, are forced to pay for… are forced to pay for Sesame Street in foreign countries. You saw the list. We talked about it yesterday. It’s a bunch of garbage. And they’re freaking out. Because Trump is getting to the bottom of all of it. And they don’t know what to do. And I’m here for it. I’m telling you, we’ll never experience a time like this. Two and a half weeks of a breathtaking whirlwind experience thanks to the will of the American people. We beat them. Never forget that. They lost. And just like they were awful winners, they’re really sore losers. Our number is 800-655-MIKE, 14 past the hour, in the Relief Factor studios for a Wednesday. Feel free to join us.

The Mike Gallagher Show. If Doge attacks USAID today, then you can be sure they’ll move on to another target tomorrow. Who knows? Maybe it’ll be the Postal Service or the IRS. They could be next.
SPEAKER 20 :
In the relieffactor.com studios, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 15 :
This is our country. This is not Elon Musk’s country. This is not Trump’s country. This is our country. We deserve to have decent jobs. We deserve to have the respect. We deserve to be treated in a way that all Americans should be treated. And so let me just tell you now. I have Elon Musk’s major office in my district. He won’t even meet with the local elected officials. He said he was going to tunnel under from his office all the way to the airport so he didn’t have to be among the measly people on the ground to get to the airport. He is a low-down president. 30, no good person along with Trump that cannot be trusted, and we must not be afraid of them. Again, when the people fight, we win. When the people fight, we win.
SPEAKER 04 :
And the guy with the golden cane, he keeps waving it. I’m telling you, it’s all fun and games until you poke Auntie Maxine’s eye out with that cane. You’re going to hit her in the head. Her wig’s going to pop off. Be careful with that cane. You can’t swing that thing around. Who is that guy? He’s from Houston, right? I forget the guy’s name. He’s another character. He’s always got that cane with the big gold handle. It looks like a character from Scarface. Here’s a text from Illinois. If she doesn’t sound like Aunt Esther from Sanford and Son, nobody does. I swear I thought she was going to start calling Elon Fred. Fred! Fred Sanford! I mean, the reference, the comedy writes itself. You know, hey, you want to know why he’s in a tunnel? Because you told people to get in his face before. Remember that? Crazy Auntie Maxine? Remember when you were screeching before, you’ve got to get in their faces! You’ve got to go to the gas stations! And you’ve got to go to the grocery store! Get in Trump supporters’ faces! You know, you were inciting violence against Trump supporters? Because that’s how you roll, Auntie Maxine? Well, so no wonder Musk doesn’t want to be among the people, because he’s afraid the people… I’m going to get in his face. Then again, he has an army of bodyguards and security because of people like you. Look, I’m not kidding you. Watching these scenes is hilarious. One of my favorite movies of all time is One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. And it impacted me greatly when I first saw it years ago. I haven’t watched it in a long time, but it’s a wonderful movie. And it instills a degree of empathy and respect and compassion for the mentally ill. It’s got great good guys and bad guys. Nurse Ratched, of course, was the villain brilliantly played by the late Louise Fletcher. Nicholson, of course, was the protagonist and the hero and the star. This is what this is like. Remember when they had the scene? If you remember One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest where they all, like, the Jack Nicholson character got them all to kind of revolt and stand up on the chairs and, like, revolt against Nurse Ratched. That’s what this is like. The Democrats are mental pain. They’ve been broken. We won. It’s the golden era. And Trump, whether he’s talking about taking over Gaza, you know, I don’t know what this is about exactly. I’m not thrilled at the idea of troops in Gaza. On the other hand, look at how Trump got Canada and Mexico to cave just this week. Canada and Mexico, they’re giving Trump exactly what he wanted from them. A beefed up presence, thousands of more troops on their side of the border. Trudeau’s going to install a fentanyl czar to try to stop fentanyl from pouring across our northern border. And again, we’re seeing a whirlwind of spectacular, epic moves from the 47th president of the United States. And my gosh, there is going to be Such a benefit to the American people. The Democrats complaining about Elon Musk and they’re doxing the young kids who are volunteering their time and sleeping on cots in the office to try to root out. wasteful spending because Trump wants to be a steward of our money. He doesn’t believe in funding for Sesame Street in Iraq. He doesn’t believe in funding terrorists. USAID is a mess. It’s an absolute mess. And the Democrats are protecting it. The Democrats want to protect it. They want the corruption. They want the big bloated government. So if you’re in doubt about what side you’re on and you agree with me, you’re on the right side. When Democrats are marching around supporting Hamas and you recognize what despicable anti-Semites many of them are, you’re on the right side when you push back against that kind of evil. You know what’s evil as it applies to the Democrats’ opposition to Elon Musk and whittling away all the wasteful spending? If the Democrats had been that angry about the way North Carolinians were abandoned after the hurricane, if they’d have been that enraged that people in North Carolina are still sleeping in tents, they lost everything and they can’t get any… They can’t get any relief. This is our country. This happened in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia. Horrible storms and catastrophes that left people without anything. But the Democrats aren’t mad about that. They’re mad about withdrawing funding from Sesame Street in Iraq. That’s what they’re mad about. That’s what they’re angry about. Wow. 800-655-MIKE. Let me take some phone calls. Because this is what a time to be alive. And every single day, it feels like waking up to Christmas morning. And as a talk show host, it’s hard to keep up with it all. It really is. You’ve got to be feeling the same way. And look, I’m a realist. Not all of it’s going to be great. I don’t know about a lot of these ideas. I mean, here was Trump’s announcement about Gaza. The thought of our troops in Gaza kind of makes my teeth ache. But then again, Trump knows what he’s doing, and there could be an awful lot behind this. For example, I got an email from Steve who said the real reason for the Gaza takeover A new canal through Gaza creates massive wealth for us and Israel. It competes with the Suez Canal. You can be sure there’s a lot more to this than what he announced, but here’s what he said yesterday with Bibi Netanyahu.
SPEAKER 16 :
The only reason the Palestinians want to go back to Gaza is they have no alternative. It’s right now a demolition site. This is just a demolition site. Virtually every building is down. They’re living under fallen concrete that’s very dangerous and very precarious. They instead can occupy all of a beautiful area with homes and safety, and they can live out their lives in peace and harmony instead of having to go back and do it again. The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it, too. We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site. level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. Do a real job. Do something different. Just can’t go back. If you go back, it’s going to end up the same way it has for 100 years.
SPEAKER 04 :
Mike Allen over at Axios writes that this is a collision of three private Trump views that he holds. Number one, he believes that a big peace deal with the Saudis at the center of it is doable, is possible. Number two, he is genuinely moved by the scope of the destruction of Gaza and the loss of life. We all acknowledge there’s been terrible destruction and devastation in Gaza. And incidentally, it’s going to take many, many decades to even begin to rebuild Gaza. And finally, along with his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, Trump sees this as authentic prime real estate. Waterfront property. that could draft off all the power and the money that flows through the Middle East. So again, the Daily Beast this morning, oh, Trump advances a bonkers plan. They think everything he’s doing is bonkers. Getting rid of the Department of Education. Pulling out of USAID and letting them have that independent autonomy, and they’re funneling all kinds of money to radical left-wing causes. Again, the example you hear over and over is Sesame Street in Iraq. But it’s a perfect example of how the preposterousness of how USAID has been functioning. Open Secrets, they did a deep dive of political contributions. 97% of political contributions from USAID workers and employees went to Biden and the Democrats.
SPEAKER 1 :
97%.
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s a leftist organization. And they do some good. There’s no question. They get food to people. They also help line the pockets of billionaire terrorist supporters. And don’t even get started on Wuhan and gain-of-function research. And Trump is going to ferret that out. He’s going to weed it out. And speaking of, when Trump dropped this bombshell about taking over Gaza, even Bibi looked surprised. Netanyahu is looking at him like, wow, well, this is I didn’t expect this. Didn’t have this on my bingo card today when I came to the White House to be the first foreign leader hosted by Donald Trump in his second presidency. A fact that did not go unnoticed by the prime minister of Israel.
SPEAKER 19 :
This is a testament to your friendship and support for the Jewish state and the Jewish people. I’ve said this before. I’ll say it again. You are the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House. That’s why the people of Israel have such enormous respect for you.
SPEAKER 04 :
Wow. Wow. Incidentally, we’re putting together the finishing touches on a potential trip to the Holy Land, to Israel, this fall. So you keep it right here on the Mike Gallagher Show for details about your opportunity. It’s going to be a very limited opportunity, just about 100 people. But it looks like we’re planning to go in October. And that will be following our big Patriots Alaska cruise in August. We’ve got two very different trips planned for you. But be thinking about that. Keep that on your radar. Thanks, Tracy, that Democrat with the cane, with the gold, big gold handle, Al Green, the 9th District of Texas. Yeah, he’s a piece of work. 800-655-MIKE. More coming up.

SPEAKER 20 :
He’s the happy conservative warrior. From the Relief Factor studios, here’s Mike Deller.
SPEAKER 04 :
I hope you’ve got the popcorn out because we’ve witnessed two and a half weeks of the most epic half a month that this country has ever seen. The beginning of the 47th. President of the United States Administration. And yesterday was epic. Yesterday was off the charts. All these Democrats are freaking out about Trump expecting accountability and government efficiency. Now, you thought you were in a good mood, but there’s a guy named Al Green from Texas. who’s about to ruin your day. I’m about to share an announcement. We’ve got a big breaking news story. You know, when crazy Auntie Maxine was screeching from the podium yesterday outside the Treasury Department because the Democrats are furious that Elon Musk and his team are successfully identifying government waste and taxpayer-supported fraud, and monies that are being diverted to crazy leftist radical causes. And the Democrats are melting down. If you’re watching on Salem News Channel, you’ll see a guy with a big cane. He’s got a big gold handle on the cane. He’s like a character right out of a movie. And he’s waving that cane around as crazy Auntie Maxine and goofy Chuck Schumer are giving their speeches. And I was worried about the cane because I was afraid he was going to hit Maxine Waters in the head with the cane. Then we’ve got a problem. The wig’s going to come off. She’s going to go down. We don’t need that. We already had Nancy Pelosi fall down some steps and break her hip. You’ve got to see this guy with the cane. And the guy with the cane is making news today. So brace yourself because you’re about to hear a story about Congressman Al Green. First, let’s check out… how well the Democrats, led by the likes of Congresswoman Maxine Waters, are coping with the Trump administration. This is our country.
SPEAKER 15 :
This is not Elon Musk’s country. This is not Trump’s country. This is our country. We deserve to have decent jobs. We deserve to have the respect. We deserve to be treated in a way that all Americans should be treated. And so let me just tell you now. I have Elon Musk’s major office in my district. He won’t even meet with the local elected officials. He said he was going to tunnel under from his office all the way to the airport so he didn’t have to be among the measly people on the ground to get to the airport. He is a low-down businessman. dirty no good person along with trump that cannot be trusted and we must not be afraid of them again when the people fight we win when the people fight he’s a no good dirty nothing for nothing rusher rusher rusher
SPEAKER 04 :
I mean, this is common. You know, I bounce around with my opinion of these Democrats. On the one hand, you just think they’re just dumb as dirt, right? AOC claiming that Elon Musk isn’t very intelligent. I mean, from her. So you go from, all right, they’re dumber than a bag of hair. Then you think, no, no, they’re diabolical. Some of them are almost demonic. I mean, that Ayanna Pressley. She was inciting violence yesterday along with Jasmine Crockett and Jamie Raskin. Then you think they’re really diabolical. They’re demonic. But then you just realize they’re funny. It’s comedy gold. Chuck Schumer. is the most awkward politician, I think, in the history of the country. Remember when he posed for a picture? He was trying to pretend that he was grilling cheeseburgers out on the back patio, and he had a piece of cheese on top of a frozen patty of beef. Everybody knows that’s not how you do it, so he was obviously posing for pictures. That’s comedy. Pete Buttigieg gets driven in a limousine to his office as Department of Transportation secretary, and a couple blocks away from his office, he gets out of the car, takes a bike out of the trunk, gets on the bike and pedals the last block or two so that people can see him on a bike. These are comedy. These are comic geniuses. Here’s some more comedy. Let’s check in with Chuck Schumer.
SPEAKER 12 :
I’m going to stand with you in this fight and we will win.
SPEAKER 11 :
We will win.
SPEAKER 12 :
We will win. We will win. We will win. We will win. We will win. We won’t rest. We won’t rest. We won’t rest. We won’t rest.
SPEAKER 04 :
Thank you, everybody. That’s funny. That’s just comedy, right? Now, again, the guy with the cane, he’s waving that cane around like nobody’s business. And I truly was, I thought, please do not hit Schumer in the face. Glasses are going to pop off. Maxine Waters’ head’s going to bleed. You can’t hit them with that cane. But he wields that cane everywhere he goes. His name is Congressman Al Green. Moments ago, in the well of the House of Representatives, he made a major announcement with cane in hand. Now, if you’re just listening on the radio, you’ve got to visualize this. He’s got the cane in his right hand. with the big, huge gold, you know, handle. And he has an announcement to make. He wants the world to know this time when it comes to Donald Trump, Texas’s pride and joy, Congressman Al Green, well, he means business.
SPEAKER 17 :
And still I rise, Mr. Speaker. And I rise today, Mr. Speaker, with a to whom it may concern message. To whom it may concern, ethnic cleansing in Gaza is not a joke, especially when it emanates from the President of the United States, the most powerful person in the world. when he has the ability to perfect what he says. Ethnic cleansing in Gaza is no joke, and the Prime Minister of Israel should be ashamed, knowing the history of his people, to stand there and allow such things to be said. Ethnic cleansing has been a crime against humanity. And I stand here today in the well to denounce what was said, to denounce what the President said, to denounce the complicity of the Prime Minister of Israel, and to remind people that Dr. King was right. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. And injustice in Gaza is a threat to justice in the United States of America. I rise to announce that the movement to impeach the president has begun. I rise to announce that I will bring articles of impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done. I also rise to say that the impeachment movement is going to be a grass-up movement, not a top-down. The people have got to move forward. The people have to demand it. And when the people demand it, it will be done. I did it before. I laid the foundation for impeachment. And it was done. Nobody knows more about it than I. And I know that it’s time for us to lay the foundation again. On some issues, it is better to stand alone than not stand at all. On this issue, I stand alone, but I stand for justice. I yield back the balance of my time. The gentleman yields back.
SPEAKER 04 :
The pride of Houston, Texas, Congressman Al Green, cane in hand. He rose. He rose. I rise with my cane alone. I stand alone. Now, look, you’ve got to give him credit. Got to give the Democrats credit. Last time Trump was inaugurated, I mean, they were ready to impeach him the day he was inaugurated. Remember the famous Washington Post headline? On inauguration day, the impeachment of Trump begins. So at least they waited a couple weeks this time. Only two and a half weeks. And that man, who so brilliantly… brilliantly expressed how this will be a grass-up movement, okay? Because he knows everything there is to know about impeachment. Because it went so well the first two times, right, Al? My gosh. See what I mean? You can’t get mad at that. Why get aggravated? This is comedy gold. Welcome into the Mike Gallagher Show Wednesday. I rise up. I rise up. I rise up. I want this to be a grass up movement. I rise in the grass and I’m up. And we’re ready to go with you at 800-655-MIKE. I got a caller, poor Peggy, in Chicago, who agrees with crazy Auntie Maxine and goofy Al Green. Should we take her? I can’t get in a better mood. I don’t know if I can stand it. Well, I’ll have to think about it. Stick around. Also, we’ll tell you about the big trip to Alaska with Joel James, who’s got answers to any of your questions about our big Patriots Alaska cruise. Welcome aboard. We’re having some fun now.
SPEAKER 05 :
mike gallagher every day mike visits with mark davis morning host on 6 60 a.m the answer in dallas here’s today’s eminem experience 13 year old mike gallagher bopping around doing some shambhala by three dog night many huh love me some three dog sounds like an adam sandler word chalamet shambhala cory wells of three dog night would have been 84 today passed away back in 15 i saw them a couple of times back i think Underappreciated. Eli’s coming. Mama told me not to come. Shambhala. Black and white.
SPEAKER 04 :
Joy to the world, right? Hello. Jeremiah was a bull, bro. Hello. Here’s what amazes me about you. Can I tell the world what I find amazing about Mark Davis? This is not going to go well for me, but okay. You come into work like everything’s normal. Like you do a talk show. I am sitting on my couch in my bathrobe on a Tuesday night with my mouth hanging open watching Trump and Netanyahu and hearing about Gaza and watching the Democrats implode outside the Treasury Department. We’re not getting packages from China anymore. I mean, it’s like everything. I am stunned at the last two and a half weeks. And you come in and you say, oh, it’s Three Dog Night’s birthday. Hi, everybody. I am no less so.
SPEAKER 05 :
I am, A, I am no less so. I am Mike, and Mike is me. I completely share just your level of eye-popping amazement. Overwhelmed. It might be a coping device. It might be a coping device for me where the world is spinning out of its orbit with amazing things happening. But, hey, how about that Luca trade? I need some things just to get focused on.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, it’s great. I know. Because you really, you talk about the fire hose of trying to drink from the fire hose. I mean, where do you want to start today? First of all, did you see these lunatic Democrats having a complete mental breakdown outside the Treasury Department? Over Doge.
SPEAKER 05 :
Over just the notion of controlling government spending. And they’re going insane.
SPEAKER 04 :
They’re going nuts over what? Oh, we want answers about where the money went? This is what they’re going crazy over? If we’d have seen that kind of meltdown over why people in North Carolina were abandoned after a hurricane, those people wouldn’t be living in tents today. I mean, they’ve gone out of… How about the FBI? This fascinates me, Mark. How about how about FBI agents now suing to prevent their identity from being revealed over trying to destroy Trump? Do you know how many FBI agents, how many thousands were were tasked with destroying Trump’s chance to be president again?
SPEAKER 05 :
They’re finding them and they’re reaching a conclusion that says, you know, maybe moving forward, these are not our best agents.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, not only that, maybe moving forward, somebody’s got to go to jail. Maybe some of these guys need to wind up either in the rubber room. I want to get Matt Vespa, because I was reading about this today over at Town Hall where he’s saying, he writes, look, the panic is proof positive that they know they were wrong. Of course. You know, I mean, what they say, 5,000 agents were assigned to rounding up people from January 6th. Yeah. They’ve only got like 30,000 agents total. Priority check. Hello. I mean, here’s what Matt Vesper writes. Some FBI agents are suing the Justice Department to try to block DOJ from compiling a list of agents who worked on the anti-Trump cases that have engulfed the Bureau for years. Now, such as Matt Vespa says, such a deep state move proves the FBI is in total panic mode. There’s nothing they can do to stop this action. They can delay, but it’s going to happen. Agents who worked on these witch hunts better realize they’re either going to be fired or reassigned to the rubber room. These agents are desperately hoping to keep their names from being disclosed. Sorry. I mean, this is what happens. when you win the unthinkable election. This is unthinkable. And what we’ve seen for two and a half weeks is what happens when the unthinkable occurs. And Trump, as the kids say, he doesn’t have two craps to give. He does not care, Mark. And he’s going to sling stuff to the wall. Hey, let’s take over. Let’s run Gaza. Let’s see how this works. Yeah, I want to see Trump Tower in Gaza, in the Gaza Strip. And I’ve been there. Let me tell you something. I’d rather see Trump Tower.
SPEAKER 05 :
Go ahead, because you have been there. It ain’t exactly a garden spot right now. No, it’s not. It has been a wholesale disaster. The idea arose as the Palestinians bring their… land-based grievance to that regional conflict. I totally understand. I understand their side. The West Bank and Gaza are in Israel. They want their own country. The impediment to having their own country is blood-soaked terrorist leadership. There are peace-loving Palestinians who want to coexist with Israel, but they don’t run the place. As such, the idea to let the Horrible idea. So the question arises, what do we do now? It’s weird. Is an American ownership stake in Gaza easier to swallow for the Palestinians than having Israel simply say we’re reclaiming it?
SPEAKER 04 :
I don’t know. Well, that’s a good question. See, I like the way Mike Allen frames this at Axios, because the truth is this is a fascinating combination of Trump’s empathy. And he is genuinely moved by the by the massive destruction of Gaza. And the realization, look, this guy’s a this guy’s a real estate magnate. He’s a he’s a he’s a builder. He knows how to improve property. But he knows what it would take to try to rebuild Gaza. And he’s saying, look, good luck. It ain’t going to happen. So here’s the way Axios frames this, which I think makes a lot of sense. And again, I’ve been there. I got to see it. One of the things about Gaza, even though now it’s just a hellscape, It is on pristine waterfront property. I mean, it’s actually… You could turn it into Abu Dhabi. You really could. And so here’s what Axios writes that I want to bounce off you because I do think this is compelling. He believes in Trump… The Gaza idea that he wants to, you know, have us, the U.S., take over Gaza. It’s a collision of three private Donald Trump views. Number one, he believes… A big peace deal with the Saudis in the center of it all is achievable, okay? So he believes peace is achievable.
SPEAKER 05 :
Abraham Accords made clear that those kinds of allegiances are plausible.
SPEAKER 04 :
Exactly. Number two, he was genuinely moved by the scope of the destruction and the realization that it would take decades and decades to even try to rebuild. And finally… Again, he’s a builder. He and his son-in-law, Jared, see this as authentic prime real estate. It’s waterfront property that could draft all the power and money flowing through the Middle East. So it is a – they watched Joy Reid’s reaction last night because people on the left don’t know what to make of this. Well, they’re bewildered. Because on the one hand, it’s Trump and he’s orange man bad and he’s Hitler and he’s – on the other hand, you know, he said in the comments with Bibi yesterday, let’s give these people a big, beautiful place to live. Let’s create something for them right now. They want peace.
SPEAKER 05 :
They want stability. They want schools. They want to be able to walk to work without getting shelled. Right.
SPEAKER 04 :
Now, the only problem is they want all of us dead. So there’s that. There’s that. They want Jews dead. They want Christians dead. They’re not really fond of us. But Trump has this humanitarian streak. He’s not a monster. And look, we all can put our even though we know the Palestinians aren’t exactly, you know, bosom buddies of ours. Of course we mourn for all those lost lives and the women and the men and the children who have been obliterated in this war that Hamas began. Hamas, their governing entity, started this with Israel, not Israel. But anyhow, it is so Trumpian to see all of this being thrown together right now. We can’t keep up. The media can’t keep up. And I’m back to the Democrats. Mark, Did you see it? Did you hear Maxine? I did. Did you hear Pocahontas? Yes, I did. The shrillness, the panic.
SPEAKER 05 :
Did you hear all of these folks? All of them and that goofy Jasmine Crockett? I know. South Dallas, what are you doing? I know Texas Congressional District 30 is going to cough up a liberal, I know, but she’s insane. Trump is a white supremacist. 80% of the violent crime in America committed by… White supremacists, excuse me?
SPEAKER 04 :
Did you hear what you said about the voices of mediocre white men? Oh, great. Imagine what would happen if a white guy said, we got to shut down the voices of mediocre black men. Great. That’d be it for them. But Jasmine Crockett, who’s a stone-cold bigot, she is a disgusting, ghetto, trash figure. thug i mean there’s i’m sorry that’s all that and that’s the way she’s been described a lot on social media she’s like something right out of a cardi b movie or or a song i mean what’s wrong with that she’s a congresswoman she’s a what tell me about south dallas well that’s all you need to know i mean and she she makes a good first impression and seems to but but second and third impression even has must have some of her voters going whoa what’s going on here eddie bernice johnson is rolling in her grave a woman of substance and dignity we don’t we don’t make democrats like her anymore and in the crazy democrat world did you catch aoc saying that elon musk is not particularly smart while while giggling like the bartender that she came from i mean she’s she’s the bartender who’s good the man that that is sending rocket ships to mars and invented a car that drives itself from tampa to orlando he’s not all that smart but she’s smart the bartender And Ben Shapiro had a great text. He had the best line of all. And let me find this for you because it was perfect. I’m glad you brought it up. AOC, who’s… And I’m thinking about what you just said about Eddie Bernice Johnson. The Eddie Bernice Johnsons of the Democrat Party are gone. The AOCs and the Jasmine Crocketts are today. That’s today’s Democrat Party, and they’re not learning, Mark.
SPEAKER 05 :
And it’s not even generational because it’s not just, well, that’s just the young folks. I mean, how old is Schumer? How old is Elizabeth Warren? These people are— Maxine Waters.
SPEAKER 04 :
She’s older than dirt. Thank you. She’s older than Methuselah, and she’s up there ranting and raving and carrying on.
SPEAKER 05 :
The right people are triggered. The right people are upset.
SPEAKER 04 :
The right people. I’ve got to find this Ben Shapiro.
SPEAKER 05 :
Take 15 seconds to look for that while I fill 15 seconds back in Gaza, which Ben Shapiro cares about a lot as well. The other long game thing about Gaza that makes an enormous amount of sense, even though the first notion of America taking an ownership stake, wait a minute, what are we talking about? If it is turned into something peaceful, if it is turned into something prosperous, if we are able to weed out the leadership that is soaked with the blood of terror, leaving only Palestinians who would actually like to peacefully coexist with Israel, Palestinians of the type that I’m sure you met when you went, certainly of the type that I met when I went to Jerusalem in Babylon. Back in 03, they absolutely exist, but they just don’t run the place. And if in some future day, Gaza is peaceful and prosperous and stable, a two state solution might actually make sense, which it surely does not right now.
SPEAKER 04 :
It doesn’t. But here’s what makes sense. I want to share a thought from our buddy Tom Trattip, who sent me a text a minute ago. And Tom’s one of the executives here at Salem and writes for Town Hall and one of the smartest guys and funniest guys I know. He says, Trump threw the shiny object down the hall. We are taking Gaza. So all the cats in the press and the Democratic Party frenetically chase that like mad while he actually takes the Panama Canal and Greenland. I mean, it’s like, look over here. I’m going to take Gaza. But he winds up getting the Panama Canal and maybe Greenland. And as Tom said, we will never see the likes of this guy again in our lifetime. J.D.
SPEAKER 05 :
Vance may take the baton and serve his own eight years and carry the MAGA revolution on. But it won’t be exactly. It’ll be his own type of awesomeness. But it’ll never be like embrace and cherish every day, Mike. Not just doing what we do for a living, not just as a broadcaster, not just as a conservative, as an American, as a human being. Cherish every day.
SPEAKER 04 :
Cherish this. Just treasure every moment that we have. We are having the time of our lives. I found the Ben Shapiro post. He retweeted Giggling AOC, and he wrote, Giggling idiot says richest man on earth who started a successful electric car company and a successful space company is unintelligent. This is the Democrats thought leader. And Ben is so smart and he’s right. AOC is the Democrats thought leader. This is why they lost. And this is why they’re going to continue to lose. Let me ask you in closing a broadcast question. How do I sound today?
SPEAKER 05 :
You sound fine.
SPEAKER 04 :
Does it sound good? Does the mic sound good? I’ve decided to take the plunge. I’ve changed microphones. And you can relate to this because you’re a creature of habit worse than me. You like the way you like things in the studio, right? We went to these… Have you seen these retro microphones that Gorka was using and Chris DeGaulle? Can you go wide, Chris?
SPEAKER 05 :
Is it a table-mounted thing like it used to be on Larry King Live? Look, that’s a Larry King Live microphone.
SPEAKER 04 :
Or like 1930s… Yeah, it’s kind of retro, but it actually, Eric says, and our team say, it sounds better. It sounds superb. And it’s funny. Really?
SPEAKER 05 :
Because to sound that crisp and that present, it usually has to be like a wraparound or one of these, like the electro voice thing.
SPEAKER 04 :
Or you’ve got to really put your mouth right on top of the mic. Yeah, you’ve got to talk the no, no, no, no. And this is called a Shure. This is a Shure Super 55 mic. And I like it. I like how retro it looks. Like the throwback. I feel like, you know, coming to you. Fire in the hole. Tokyo. Hello, Tokyo.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s the Mike Gallagher show.
SPEAKER 04 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 05 :
From the blue of the night. All right. If it’s you, it sounds great. But the mic makes it extra great. Love you. I love you. All right. See you tomorrow. We love him. That’s Mike Gallagher ready to roll. New microphone and all. And no extra charge. On the Wednesday Mike Gallagher show as soon as we’re done at 10 on 660 AM The Answer.
