SPEAKER 15 :
He’s the happy conservative warrior. From the Relief Factor studios, sitting in for Mike today, here’s Joey Hudson.
SPEAKER 02 :
Welcome in to this Washington’s birthday edition of the Mike Gallagher Show. I’m Joey Hudson, in for Mike today. Glad to have you. There’s lots of ways for you to join the conversation, and I hope you will today. 800-655-MIKE, 1-800-655-6453 is how you can join the conversation. You can call, you can text, and I love your emails as well, joey at joeyhudson.com. We’ve got a lot to cover today, a lot happening over the weekend. Of course, today is Washington’s birthday. Some people call it President’s Day. It is a federal holiday. In most states, there’s one exception to that, and that is former President, and I love saying that, former President Joe Biden. I like the former part of that. Delaware is the only state that does not recognize Washington’s birthday or President’s Day. They have floating holidays, and so state employees can decide when they would take that. So this is not an official holiday for those in Delaware, but Delaware. A lot to cover today. Did you happen to catch the Daytona 500 yesterday? President Trump was just having way too much fun, wasn’t he? As NASCAR drivers hit the speedway yesterday, 200 mile per hour plus speeds, and it’s known as the great American race for a good reason. President Trump there, of course, ahead of the start of the race, he had a chance to catch up with Fox Sports’ Jamie Little. And he talked about how courageous and just how demanding these races are and talked about the drivers and how brave they are to be in those cars at such high speeds. And cut number two, President Trump talks with Jamie Little.
SPEAKER 10 :
What brings you back to the great American race?
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, I think it’s fantastic. It’s great for the country. Our country is doing well again, and we have spirit all over the world, this spirit again. We brought it back, and it’s been less than four weeks. So you’ll see what we do in a little period of time. It’s going to only get better, but this is very exciting.
SPEAKER 10 :
You brought your granddaughter. I know some of your other family members are here. You get to take a ride around in the Beast. What is that like?
SPEAKER 13 :
I’ll let you know in about two minutes because they’re going to be going quite quickly, I understand.
SPEAKER 10 :
You just got to meet some of the drivers. Are you going to get on the radio again and talk to them before the start of this?
SPEAKER 13 :
I say they have a lot of courage doing this. I see it, and I’ve been here, and they have a lot of guts, as they would say. Mr. President, enjoy your time. Thank you very much.
SPEAKER 02 :
President Trump speaking with Fox News’ Jamie Little just prior to the start of the race. And he did get in the beast and took a lap around the track. And he’s right. I don’t know if you’ve ever been in a NASCAR. I had the opportunity several years ago at the Charlotte Motor Speedway to do a ride-along. And I got to tell you, those walls come up very quickly. You look like you’re just about to drive straight into one when you hit that bank. And, you know, we got up to—we didn’t quite make it to 200 miles per hour. It was like 193 or so, I think, was our fastest one. As mentioned there, the president did have a message to the drivers in cut number one just prior to the race beginning, and as the beast was getting ready to head back in and let the race begin, the president had this to say to the drivers.
SPEAKER 04 :
And, you know, the great American race, as it’s referred to, is all about America. It’s…
SPEAKER 02 :
symbolizes the good about America. Just prior to the race, President Trump issued a statement. He said, this iconic race showcases the fastest, most fearless drivers in motorsports who represent our nation’s love of tradition, competition, and automotive innovation. The Daytona 500 brings together people from all walks of life, from lifelong racing fans to first-time spectators. They all join in celebrating a shared passion for speed, adrenaline, and the thrill of the race. He said, from the roar of the engines on the track to the echo of the star-spangled banner soaring through the stands, the Daytona 500 is a timeless tribute to the speed, strength, and unyielding spirit that make America great. That spirit is what will fuel America’s golden age, and if we harness it, the future is truly ours. As he was arriving in Daytona, typical of how President Trump likes to do, he did a flyover in Air Force One. I’ve been at several rallies in the past. where the president would do a flyover knowing that the crowd’s there waiting on him. And it’s just a special thing as you see the president flying over. They do the little tail, the wing wag there, waving at you, knowing that he is on his way. And, you know, the other thing, too, that I’ve noticed, and not only with President Trump, but just this past week with Elon Musk having his young son in the Oval Office with him, the president saying, If you’re watching us on the Salem News Channel, you’re seeing the president with his young granddaughter. And it just sort of signifies this new Trump administration, how family friendly they are. You see a lot of these in the president’s case, grandkids and Elon Musk’s case, his young kids, they’re with them. They’re part of what’s going on, and that’s just good to see that, again, it symbolizes the family-friendly presidency of Donald Trump. 800-655-MIKE, 1-800-655-6453 is how you join us on this Washington’s birthday edition of the Mike Gallagher Show. One of the headlines that got my attention over the weekend is out of San Diego. And it’s the story of a migrant shelter that has literally closed down. Why? Because no one is coming to it anymore. Because President Trump is securing our border. And there’s no need for it. Now, of course, the officials in San Diego are whining because 100 people are losing their jobs. And I hate that. I hate for anyone to lose their job. But what I hate worse is for my federal tax dollars to be wasted on something that’s not needed. And we’re probably going to see more and more of this type of thing happening. We’re going to talk a little about that coming up next on this special edition of the Mike Gallagher Show. I’m Joey Hudson. In for Mike. Your text messages are welcome on the MyPillow text line, 800-655-6453. You can email me, joey, at joeyhudson.com. Lots of ways for you to join the conversation today, and I hope you will. as we celebrate Washington’s birthday here on the Mike Gallagher Show. Hope you’re enjoying the conversation. Glad to have you in on this Monday.

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.

SPEAKER 18 :
The Mike Gallagher Show. Where are the grassroots protests? Because the people who fund the grassroots protests are the people who are getting defunded. You know, instead you’re getting these shrieking Democrats who are acting like drug addicts watching the cops flush their drugs down the toilet because they are.
SPEAKER 15 :
In the ReliefFactor.com studios, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 02 :
Joey Hudson in for Mike today. Mike wanted me to remind you about the Patriots Alaska cruise coming up this summer. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Peg and I were able to do this this past year. with Mike and Dr. Sebastian Gorka. This year, Larry Elder will be on the ship, along with Jennifer Horn, Joe Piscopo. And, you know, it’s just a great time. You’re going to see the beauty of Alaska. But it’s so fun, too, to be able to meet people from all around the country, like-minded conservatives who share our support of President Donald Trump. We’re going to sail August 16th. It’s the 16th through the 23rd. On board, you’ll enjoy thought-provoking talks, exclusive events, really some unforgettable moments on this beautiful ship. And it is a beautiful ship as well. Text the keyword TRAVEL to 94878. Just text the word TRAVEL to 94878 to reserve your cabin today. This is more than just a cruise. It’s a chance to engage with some of the most respected voices in conservative America while exploring some of the most beautiful places you’ve ever seen. I’ve got to tell you, Alaska, it exceeded my expectations by 1,000%. It is just gorgeous to see the whales and to see the glaciers. It was just a wonderful, wonderful trip, and I’m looking forward to going back this summer as well. Space is limited, so don’t wait. Text TRAVEL to 94878. That’s TRAVEL, 94878. And I’ll see you on board where patriotism, adventure, and luxury all comes together. It’s going to be a great time for sure. 800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453 is how you join the conversation. You can text me your comments. You can call. Teresa will put you in queue. We’ll talk as time permits. A lot of you are guessing. How many days Joe Biden took for vacation? A texter says, hey, Joey, thanks for filling in for the happy warrior. And just a guess, Biden took 250 days of vacation. Another texter says 583 days. Another texter says Joe took off, let’s see, I’m going to guess 365 days that Joe Biden took off for vacation. Another texter says 200. Another texter, 1,459 days. Well, not quite that many. The New York Post reporting over the weekend that Joe Biden took 577 days during his four-year term. Now, I realize Biden, he’s a thing of the past. We have moved on. But I just couldn’t resist. I mean, think about this. Five hundred and seventy seven days over a four year period. Basically. He was out over a year of his presidency. Now, you could look at that as as good news. Because that was a year we didn’t have Joe doing something he probably shouldn’t have been doing. The other way to look at it, though, is that’s over a year where he was absent just letting whoever was pulling the strings in the White House run loose. But think about it this way. How many days of vacation do you get every year? I looked it up. On average, Americans get 11 paid vacation days per year. You’d have to work 52 years to rack up as much time as Joe Biden took off. 52 years you’d have to work to earn the 577 days. I mean, it’s just staggering when you think about it. Compared to other presidents. George H.W. Bush, for example, spent 37 percent of his presidency, 543 of the 1,461 days away from the White House. So he was close. He Trump in his first term. took 26% of his first term away. That was 381 days. Ronald Reagan, Barack Obama, vacationed for just 11% of their first two-term presidencies. George W. Bush spent 1,020 days out of, now he served two terms, remember, out of 2,922 days. So that was 35% versus Joe Biden’s 39%. Look. It’s a lot of days any way you look at it. A lot of vacation time. Of course, you know, what I always look back on is that photo that is used quite often when Joe Biden was at the beach of him just clearly out of it, just asleep on the beach when the world was falling apart. No wonder Joe Biden didn’t get much done. 800-655-6453. Let’s go to the phones. Hank is in Virginia. Welcome to the Mike Gallagher Show, Hank. Thank you for taking my call. Sure. Do you get as much vacation time as Joe Biden did? No. None of us do.
SPEAKER 06 :
And that’s part of the point I’m getting ready to make. I watch all this wasteful spending, and while the average American knew it was a lot of waste, we had no concept. But the thing that I’m taking away, and this applies to many women, obviously, because we all did it. We are all doing it. But especially for men, how many men out there worked, took extra jobs, took side jobs, got all the overtime they could get to pay their taxes, thereby then allowing what was left to feed their family. When I’m watching, my children are grown, they’re adults now, but there was a lot of things I missed as a father. And I missed it because I was working. How many of us men lost, you know, I don’t care, you can’t pay us back, you can’t pay a man back. That’s what he will never see. And we paid all that to be honest, taxpaying citizens, and then we’re sitting back here today in our 60s, and we’re looking back thinking, my God, this is the sacrifice. This is what I was being, a good patriot and sacrificing time from my wife, from my family, time I will never get back, moments I can never have. You know, that in and of itself, I mean, the monetary part of it, is bad enough. But it’s almost like a certain amount of grief, a death. You’re grieving a life that you should have had that you didn’t get because of all this wasteful spending.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yep. It kind of makes me angry to think about it, and I don’t like to be angry, but I look at the list of things that we’re learning from the work that Elon Musk and Doge is doing, and as you said, the waste, knowing that I had to work hard to earn money to pay taxes for it just to be thrown away like that. Exactly.
SPEAKER 06 :
And even if we were solving, you could print money. Hand me money now. What’s it going to get me? I can’t get those moments back.
SPEAKER 02 :
I never will.
SPEAKER 06 :
And you’re right. It’s very hard to not stay angry.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yep. Hey, Hank, appreciate your phone call. Appreciate you listening as well. 800-655-6453. One line open. We’ll go to Greg, who is in Charlotte. Welcome to the Mike Gallagher Show. Hello, sir. How are you? I’m wonderful.
SPEAKER 07 :
Hope you are. Well, I was four years ago. In following what the previous caller had said, sir, frankly, I’m a combat vet, and the Biden administration, frankly, ruined my career. And, you know, I’m still angry. And I imagine a lot of people are. If we do the things they did, I’m not going to be happy until I see these people have the same situation as Bannon and Navarro. I want to see them in orange jumpsuits. I want to see them in shackles in a court of law answering for these where they can’t lie or deceive anybody anymore.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah. And it’s hard not to be angry, isn’t it, Greg? And thank you for your service, because they did. They did things to us. They took time away from us. And when you talk about inflation and some of the prices that we’re having to pay for products right now, I know that President Trump, his economic policies are going to improve things. But let’s just face it. Let’s be honest, Greg. There are some things that the prices are never going to come back to what they were pre-Biden. And, you know, we’re going to have to continue paying that for sure. Hey, Greg, appreciate your phone call. Again, appreciate your service. 800-655-6453. You know, every day there’s a new revelation of just wasteful spending. And you read some of these and you think somebody’s making this up. This can’t be real. The Department of Government Efficiency, Doge’s ex-account, posted over the weekend, and President Trump reposted some of the latest examples. Ten million dollars. These have all been canceled, by the way. This is a list of some of the government contracts that Doge canceled last week. So $10 million for Mozambique. I don’t even know where that is. Voluntary medical male circumcision. $9.7 million for UC Berkeley to develop a cohort of Cambodian youth with enterprise-driven skills. I don’t even know what that means. $2.3 million for strengthening independent voices in Cambodia. Do you care about strengthening independent voices in Cambodia? I mean, who comes up with this stuff? $32 million to the Prague Civil Society Center. I have no idea what that is. $32 million of our money sent to Prague. $40 million for Gender Equality and Women Empowerment Hub. $14 million for improving public procurement in Serbia. Again, it’s hard not… to be angry when you read this type of thing. $486 million to the Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening, including $22 million for Inclusive and Participatory Political Process in Moldova and $21 million for voter turnout in India. Now, look, I don’t care about voter turnout in India. Do you? Does anyone listening to my voice today care about voter turnout in India? If you do, Teresa will put you at the front of the list. I’d love to hear about this. 800-655-MIKE, 1-800-655-6453. Does this make you a little bit angry? $29 million to strengthening the political landscape in Bangladesh. $20 million for fiscal federalism in Nepal. Another $19 million for biodiversity conversation in Nepal. All right, I’m going to take a deep breath. Let’s do a breathing exercise together here. I’m Joey Hudson, in for Mike on Washington’s birthday.

SPEAKER 02 :
Happy Washington’s birthday to you. Joey Hudson in for Mike today. Mike will be back tomorrow. I’ll be back on Wednesday because Mike is going to be on special assignment on Wednesday. I can’t tell you exactly what. If I did, I’d have to shoot you or something. We’ve got a great week. for you here on the Mike Gallagher Show, and I’m happy to be with you today. 800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453 is how you join the conversation. You can call. Teresa will put you in queue. We’ll talk as time permits. You can also text me. Same number, 800-655-6453 on the Mike’s Fellow text line. I always use promo code MIKEG when you go online and place your order. to get the absolute very best savings that you can get. And, of course, I love your emails, too, directly, joey at joeyhudson.com. We’ve got a lot to cover. President Trump at the Daytona 500 yesterday. We’ll talk with you a little about that. It was just a special day, and that’s just Donald Trump for you, isn’t it? You never would have seen Joe Biden going to a NASCAR race, having the beast out on the track, leading the cars just prior to the race beginning. That’s just something Joe Biden would have never done if he had been working on enough. We’ve been talking this weekend about the fact that we saw in black and white the number of days that Joe Biden took for vacation. Some of you have been emailing, texting me. I’d love for you to guess. Tell me how many days Joe Biden took for vacation during his four years. You can text it to me on the MyPillow text line, 800-655-6453. And a San Diego migrant center is out of business. They’re closing down. The Democrats are whining because 100 people are losing their jobs, and I hate that too. But this migrant center, illegal migrant center, is closing because there’s no more business. Because Donald Trump is closing the border. We’ll talk a little about that as well. Democrats and the mainstream media, they’re still kind of in shock that Donald Trump is actually in the White House. They’re still trying to analyze this. their failure in 2024 of putting Kamala Harris in place of Joe Biden. It’s pretty obvious to us why Kamala Harris failed miserably. Not so much yet for the Democrats and the mainstream media. They’re still scratching their heads as if they don’t quite understand it. It was a clear message. As they continue their post-mortem, if you will, there’s literally some absolute gold material coming out of the Democrat Party’s post-election meltdown. And when I say meltdown, it is a full-blown meltdown. Over the weekend, Jen Psaki, the former White House – Joe Biden’s White House press secretary – she’s now on MSNBC – She came out and slammed Kamala Harris. They’re starting to eat their own now, okay? She slammed Kamala Harris for the way she ended her disastrous presidential campaign. What’s Jen Psaki’s biggest complaint? That Harris campaigned alongside Liz Cheney. Liz Cheney, of course, was once a Republican, or at least she said she was. She was obsessed with with the January 6th sham committee that she served on. She thought that she could be a queenmaker and anoint Kamala Harris. Now, this is the same Liz Cheney who lost her own congressional seat in a historic loss. She wasn’t even close. That didn’t quite give her the message that she was out of tune with the American people. Psaki told Jon Stewart, who, by the way, has finally started admitting that his party is completely out of touch. It’s finally occurred to Jon Stewart, maybe he’s on the wrong side of the track here. Psaki told Jon Stewart that Harris and the Democrats were using elite academic language that didn’t connect with real Americans. She admitted that they were speaking from an ivory tower, lecturing people, pushing a message that voters just didn’t care about. In cut number eight, Jen Psaki kind of explains her analysis of why the Democrats lost so badly in November.
SPEAKER 09 :
I also think Liz Cheney is very heroic. Wait, what? How did that? Wait, where did that come from? Here we are. But I don’t think closing the campaign with a message about fighting democracy with a former Republican member of Congress was the right strategy.
SPEAKER 02 :
You think? You think having someone like… Liz Cheney? I mean, think about that for a minute, all right? So the Republican Party, we had already booted Liz Cheney out. She lost her congressional seat. The Democrats didn’t like her to begin with. So why did they think that Liz Cheney could help Kamala Harris? Jen Psaki’s right on this one. And this has to be painful for the Democrats. And look, I hope that they don’t get it. I hope that they continue to just double down and try to convince themselves that they’re still on the right track, that they just need to continue what Joe Biden had started. Liz Cheney, the so-called savior of democracy, according to liberal media, was accused of witness tampering, you may recall. by House Republicans. And Joe Biden, on his way out, gave her a pardon, gave her a preemptive pardon, just so, in Biden’s words, so in case Donald Trump wanted to go after her. Now, here’s the big takeaway, I guess. Democrats lost because they became the party of the swamp. They are the real swamp. Democrats lost because they are so out of tune with America, and they’re still out of tune. They still hadn’t quite admitted why they failed so miserably. The American people are tired of the same-o, same-o. And that’s why there’s so much excitement and so much hope in the air, because we’re seeing Elon Musk and so many others in the Trump administration doing things differently. actually canceling contracts, million-dollar contracts for things that are just absurd anyway, saying that, hey, we can start with closing down the CBP app, for example, which now means that those illegals aren’t making an appointment to get into our country free of charge. And it’s causing… These centers like San Diego to close because there’s no business. By the way, that center in San Diego, they received $22 million last year to operate from FEMA. FEMA money that was supposed to be for natural disasters, supposed to be going to people, helping people like near my home of South Carolina up in western North Carolina. 800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453. I’m Joey Hudson. In for Mike on Washington’s birthday.
SPEAKER 12 :
When I tell you she was cool, she was red hot. I mean, she was steaming. And that time over at Johnny’s place. Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny’s face. Man, we just fell about the place. If that chick don’t want to know, forget her. The boys are back in town.
SPEAKER 17 :
President Trump is moving at lightning speed.
SPEAKER 13 :
And after that, all hell is going to break out.

SPEAKER 16 :
The Mike Gallagher Show. You’re seeing a politician, a president, who’s coming in who can’t get reelected. So he’s just going ham. And he’s just cleaning out everything. And people are freaking out. The same people that say we need radical change. We need radical change. We’ve got corruption. We need radical change. Okay, well, here’s your radical change. We don’t need this. But you do. The government does. They need oversight.
SPEAKER 15 :
In the relieffactor.com studios, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 02 :
Joey Hudson in for Mike. You know, many of you, I shared with you some of the comments that Jen Psaki and Jon Stewart were talking about because they’re still trying to figure out what happened on November the 5th. They’re still in shock. They just can’t believe they’re sitting back every day and they’re watching this Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the whole Trump 2-0 operate at a breakneck speed. And they haven’t had time to process this. And Psaki, of course, blaming Kamala Harris for just making some stupid choices, like having Liz Cheney out on the campaign trail with her and other things. I would say that the reason Kamala Harris failed so miserably is because she’s Kamala Harris. You can’t blame it on somebody else. There’s not one single thing that caused Kamala Harris to lose. The fact that Kamala Harris just isn’t a good politician. She’s just not a good speaker. And evidence of this, you know, we all joked a lot about her word salads. She was famous for speaking for two, three, four, five minutes and not saying anything. Here’s another example of Kamala Harris. She was trying to inspire some Broadway actors, and this is what came out.
SPEAKER 14 :
When we think about, like, these moments where we see things that are being taken, but also let’s see it as, you know, nature pours a vacuum. So where there’s a vacancy, then let’s fill it. Right? And let’s know that the reality is that the progress of our nation has always been about the expansion of rights, not the restriction of rights. We’re seeing a U-turn right now for those rights to be maintained, which means we have to be vigilant. And it’s just the nature of it. But he knew, and he took those risks. But we have to be clear-eyed. And it doesn’t mean we don’t see the beauty in everything. Right? These things all coexist. But I believe we fight for something, not against something.
SPEAKER 08 :
And that’s our optimism, right?
SPEAKER 02 :
Now, for those of you watching on the Salem News Channel and you’re seeing this group of people on this Broadway stage, obviously in a Broadway theater there, you see them just kind of, yeah, mm, yeah, mm-hmm. They don’t quite know what she’s saying either. It’s kind of like we all need an interpreter. If you understood what Kamala Harris just said, if you’re a Democrat – or Kamala Harris interpreter, I’m going to put you to the front of the line. Call 800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453. And, Teresa, I want to talk to them because I want to know what she said. Talk about a word salad. That’s why Kamala Harris lost. Now, yes, some of the other dumb decisions that they made, like having various people play such a major role in the campaign, That had something to do with it, too. But the American people saw right through Kamala Harris. The American people see her for what she is. People who are close to her, they probably like her. She’s probably a nice lady. I don’t know. Never met her. Don’t care to. But she’s just not smart enough to be on that level. How she became a United States senator is a mystery to me. Maybe she was a good lawyer, a good prosecutor.

SPEAKER 05 :
Hey, good morning. How are you today?
SPEAKER 02 :
I’m wonderful. Hope you are.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, yeah. I just wanted to talk about this, of course, this corruption, theft, fraud that’s going on in the government and has been going on in the government for years, of course. What you can see here is essentially it is just simply the redistribution of wealth. They’re handing the money out to and fro. They don’t really care what it goes to. First off, because they know the insiders, the elites that are in on the theft, they are getting kickbacks everywhere, of course. So, you know, the Washington class, which, as the numbers have shown us, about 93 percent Democrat, meaning that they’re protecting their little fiefdom where all of them are getting insanely wealthy. But the other point is, and it’s really the big point, not the big point, but it’s But what this shows is they have total contempt for the U.S. citizens. So really, as I say, they don’t really care where the money goes. The big thing for them, really, is that they’re taking it from us. And because that, what that does, you know, with the taxation, the IRS, they are able to control the U.S. citizens, the one that they hold in contempt. Because, really, it affects their standard of living. You know, it affects everything about our life. It affects every decision we make, how many children we have, because of how insanely we’re taxed and how insane our education now costs at the university level and other places.
SPEAKER 02 :
The bottom line here, Stephen, is they just don’t think we’re smart enough to spend our own money. So they’re going to take it from us and spend it on things that they think are more suitable. than what we might spend it on. Appreciate your phone call. 800-655-MIKE. One line open. Ricky is in Jacksonville. Welcome, Ricky. You’re on the Mike Gallagher Show.
SPEAKER 03 :
How’s it going? Hey, so I’m more so calling in for a bit of advice, actually. Okay. So I’m a bit behind enemy lines. I’m a black man in America, but I’m also a veteran. But a lot of the people that I’m friends with, I consider myself friends with, a lot of the circles that I’m involved with, like I’m also an artist. I do 3D printing. A lot of these spaces seem to be super anti-Trump and super anti the movement that we’re going towards right now. And I’m more so curious of how – what advice would you give to someone who’s literally behind enemy lines and they have very few – Trump supporter friends. Because I didn’t even realize all this until the recent election, and that’s when people started getting kind of radical, saying crazy off-wall stuff, and started making weird requests. So I’m just trying to figure out, even with my family, man, they might assassinate me. I don’t know. I don’t want reparations or something like that. So I’m just trying to figure out, do I just separate myself? Some of these people are family. But at the end of the day, some of them are very radical right now. They’re calling for assassinations. They’re calling for murders. They’re calling for all kinds of crazy stuff. And it’s like, I don’t know if I want to be around that or if I just want to kind of sit and speak my voice.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, well, Ricky, first off, thank you for your service. Thank you for serving our country. And I think it’s simple, but yet maybe not quite as easy as I’m going to make it sound. But I think we have to educate them. And we have to do it in a non-confrontational way. I mean, let’s just look at some of the expenditures, some of the contracts that just in the last week that Doge has exposed and are canceling. I dare say that any of the friends that you’re talking about or any of the families you’re talking about believes that 486 million of their tax dollars should go to the, quote, consortium for elections and political process strengthening in India. Do you think any of them believe that we should be sending millions of dollars to India for their elections?
SPEAKER 03 :
They most certainly do. They want to defend all the funds that we’ve been putting in foreign countries. It just doesn’t make any sense to me personally. I don’t like the way it sounds, which is why I’m aligning with how I’m aligning. It just doesn’t make any sense with how we’re – throwing money to other countries.
SPEAKER 02 :
But would they send their money there? No, they would not. Put it on a personal basis, Ricky, and ask them, you know, would you write a check for $1,000, send it to Bangladesh to strengthen their political landscape? You know, try to make it personal, Ricky, and try to… take it away from Trump. You know, a lot of these people, they just hear what the mainstream media and the left, what they’re talking about Trump, and they’re trying to demonize Trump. Personalize it and ask them, would you write a check for $500 to send to Moldova to help strengthen their election process? Would you send $100 to Nepal for biodiversity conversations? I don’t even know what that means. It sounds like a program that Kamala Harris might have made up. Personalize it so that they understand that this is their money. This is their money. 800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453. Appreciate your phone calls. Yours is welcome, as are your comments on the MyFellow text line. Email is joey at joeyhudson.com.
