From executive orders to key appointments, we discuss how these moves are reshaping the political landscape in America. Joining us is Seb Gorka, who offers his own insights into counterterrorism and national security under President Trump’s leadership.

SPEAKER 13 :
He’s the happy conservative warrior. From the Relief Factor Studios, here’s Mike Geller.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t think I’ve ever been so happily exhausted in my life. You have to keep up with so much, especially over the weekend. I talked to Seb Gorka last night, who, of course, is heading up counterterrorism efforts in the Trump White House. And Seb said, I forgot how much I value weekends. Because now that he’s in government, as opposed to being a broadcaster, weekends, they’re going at a breakneck pace in the Trump White House, clearly. And I can relate. I mean, not to the extent of the high-level government position that Zeb has, but you’ve got to be plugged in all the time. CPAC wrapped up over the weekend. Trump gave a rousing speech at the end of CPAC, including a shout-out to our friend Mike Lindell. And what he said about what MyPillow’s Mike Lindell experienced was, segues nicely into this major announcement about the deputy director of the FBI. Here’s what President Trump said at CPAC. And when he spotted our pal Mike Lindell in the crowd, he gave him a massive shout out.
SPEAKER 07 :
I’m pointing to Mike Lindell. That man suffered. That man suffered. The FBI thugs went up to him, and they took away everything he had. He suffered. And Mrs. Lindell… …was a great guy. They went after him. It was just terrible. This was a vicious weaponization of your government. But he’s all… I’ll tell you, he stood up. He’s all man. He stood up. He stood up strong. And nothing was going to faze him. And I want to thank you on behalf of everybody, Mike. You put up with a tremendous amount. And he never changed his mind. He said that election of 2020 was rigged. And he’s more of a believer today than he was even four years ago. But now it’s okay to say it, Mike. Now it’s fine. Now, that’s why, you know, when it comes to a day where you can’t challenge crooked elections, we’ve got a real problem in this country. And as of January 20th, 2020 is of high taxes, crushing regulations, rampant inflation, flagrant corruption, government weaponization and total incompetence. Those days are over. They’re over.
SPEAKER 05 :
You know, to quote the kids on social media, and I’ll clean it up, Trump doesn’t have two craps to give about what the New York Times thinks about what he’s doing. And first of all, kudos to President Trump for singling out Mike Lindell that way. I think a lot about people who commit great personal sacrifice for their country. Anybody who knows Mike Lindell, who’s met him, who spends five minutes with him, loves the guy. Loves him. And he wasn’t even a political guy a number of years ago. But he kind of got introduced into the world of politics, became a Trump supporter and friend, gave a speech at the Rose Garden of the White House. when he donated thousands and thousands of items to help first responders during the pandemic. And Mike did a little something that I know he does not regret. He went off script. During that speech at the Rose Garden, he talked about the need for an American spiritual revival, how we’ve got to turn to God. We’ve got to crack open the Bible. And it’s as if the floodgates opened and they decided to try to destroy Mike Lindell and MyPillow from that day forward, and they’ve never let up. What President Trump is referring to is how FBI agents swarmed around Mike and a hunting buddy of his outside a Hardee’s in Minnesota and confiscated his cell phone. And Mike is such a—naive isn’t the right word, but kind of an innocent— Spirit, he’s like, wait a minute, all my stuff is in that cell phone. The way I conduct my business is in that cell phone. And why would the FBI, why? Because Mike has strong opinions about election integrity? Why would the FBI do that? Well, why did the FBI raid Mar-a-Lago? Why did the FBI break down the doors of people who were at the Capitol on January 6th? Because the FBI has been weaponized. The justice system, the DOJ, it’s been weaponized. And so when the news came last night that Trump appointed Dan Bongino to be the deputy FBI director, You do understand the days of the FBI weaponization are over. You’ve got Kash Patel and Dan Bongino running today’s FBI. And the left is freaking out. I have to admit, the meltdown is way more enjoyable than I ever thought it could be. Watching them shriek in hysterics over people like Dan Bongino… And look, Dan Bongino is absolutely a Trump loyalist. When you see the media accuse somebody of being a Trump loyalist, that’s code. They’re trying to smear that person as being otherwise unqualified. But you know something? Being loyal to the Trump administration is important. Very important. Byron York over at the Washington Examiner posted this morning on X how Politico is reporting that the Kash Patel, Dan Bongino appointments have been met with, quote, utter despair by liberals who had already grown fearful of a highly politicized FBI, unquote. Byron says, can anyone argue with a straight face that the FBI has not been highly politicized? What do you call snatching up the CEO of MyPillow outside a Hardee’s, coming back from a hunting trip at 6 o’clock in the morning, sitting at the Hardee’s drive-thru and surrounding his car and confiscating his cell phone? That’s the FBI. What do you call raiding Mar-a-Lago because Joe Biden was desperately trying to stop Donald Trump from winning the election? going through Melania’s underwear drawers, going through his kid’s bedroom, raiding the 45th president of the United States like he’s some kind of a drug cartel overlord. Well, it’s a new day. It’s a new day. And there are people like Adam Schiff and many others who I guarantee you are experiencing some sleepless nights over what FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino are going to do next. There’s going to be a reckoning for these people, and the reckoning is underway, and the American people love it. We love this. You love it. I love it. And the majority of Americans love it. Don’t believe me? Listen to Steve Karnacki, the numbers guy over at NBC, talking about polling that shows how the majority of Americans love what Trump is doing, particularly with illegal immigration.
SPEAKER 12 :
He’s done some things, proposed some things that are popular, that executive order to expand oil and gas production, the executive order recognizing two sexes. And also, when you look at immigration, there’s all sorts of different ways to ask about it. But the CBS poll here had asked the general Trump administration program to deport immigrants who are here illegally. You see broad support there when it’s asked at the broad level like that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Now, the people who are telling you that his supporter is collapsing are lying to you. James Carville, I don’t even want to play that clip. I know Christian gave it to me. Carville went on a rant saying that the White House is 30 days away from utterly collapsing.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, Trump’s down about five points in a poll. He went from 59 to 54. Oh, it’s all over now. It’s collapsing. Walls are caving in on it.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, right. We’ve heard for a decade how the walls are closing in and it’s all over for Donald Trump. Hey, Serpent Head is just beginning. It’s just beginning. 800-655-MIKE.

SPEAKER 13 :
The Mike Gallagher Show.
SPEAKER 08 :
Now, President Trump says he likes the idea of giving some of the savings from Doge back to Americans as kind of a dividend. Would you support that? No, we are not in the business of giving out money. And honestly, I don’t know what $5,000 will do for you.
SPEAKER 13 :
In the ReliefFactor.com studios, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 05 :
Hear how Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, wants the federal taxpayers to be on the hook for, what is it, $40 or $50 billion so that California can rebuild after the wildfires? More on that in just a moment. We’ve got to put a clip of that up on our new Facebook account. How embarrassing. I’m so embarrassed by this. I have 317 Facebook followers. That’s impossible. I mean, can’t people just even stumble upon the Mike Gallagher Show page by accident? Do you know how embarrassing that is? If we don’t get to 1,000 followers in the next 25 minutes, I’m going to sing a song. Okay? So if you don’t want me to sing, you better follow me on Facebook. What can we sing, Eric? Joy to the World? No, actually, we ought to do Danny Boy. Get ready. St. Patrick’s Day is coming up. My annual rendition of Danny Boy is in the archives. The only thing worse than me being nervous about ever singing on the show is when people complain about me singing on the show. All right, you don’t want me to sing. You’ve got to follow me on Facebook. We have 95 likes. Is that for the whole page? I mean, that is so awful. Here’s Bink. Here’s a follower making a comment. Interesting. Interesting on that. Eric, did you notice that? I got somebody making a comment on our Facebook page. Interesting. Interesting. We got a whole bunch of drama going on with that, too. Everything’s drama around here. How humiliating. 317 followers, 95 likes. No. Well, now I’ve got 408. All right. It’s getting there. You definitely don’t want me to sing. I’m going to get ready. Me, me, me, me, me, me, me. Me, me, me, me, me, me. I’m going to warm up. I’m going to warm up. 408 and 111 likes. Come on. And we’re streaming today on X. I do like X. I’m not real big on Facebook, but I love X. and always like the comments being made over there. So anyway, Gavin Newsom once got his hand out for tens of billions of dollars. Now look, I know these wildfires were horrific, and I don’t care what your political beliefs are. Unlike FEMA, I want everybody to get the assistance they need to get back on their feet after a natural disaster like these wildfires. But coming from California? I found a clip last night of a hearing regarding how much money Gavin Newsom’s California is spending on illegal immigrants. I want to play this clip for you, and then I want you to consider Gavin Newsom’s expectation that we’re going to pony up federal taxpayer funds to rebuild… California. And honest to gosh, I’ve got such a visceral gut reaction to this, and I wonder if you do too. Gavin Newsom is asking for $40 billion, that’s billion with a B, from the federal government, okay? But you remember, he also set aside taxpayer funds to to Trump-proof the state of California from Trump’s immigration policy. And that guy has the audacity to ask for $40 billion from the American taxpayer? I don’t think so. Let’s take a look at this hearing. It’s a brief clip. Listen to this back and forth. that confirms the unthinkable that California, like a lot of blue states, spends billions of dollars on illegal immigrants.
SPEAKER 09 :
In the current year to cover undocumented individuals in Medi-Cal, we’re spending $9.5 billion total funds.
SPEAKER 01 :
So it’s not the $6 billion that people continue to talk about in the media. It’s $9.5 billion.
SPEAKER 09 :
That was a Budget Act number. This is a revised number based on the governor’s budget updated estimates. So of the $9.5 billion, $8.4 billion is general fund.
SPEAKER 05 :
How about that? Based on the governor’s updated budget numbers, they raised it from $6 billion to $9.5 billion. Now, contrary to what folks like Jasmine Crockett and Harold Ford and Jessica Tarloff and others maintain, billions of dollars is a lot of money. You could probably… make the case that in a state as big as California, it’s not that big a deal. No, it is a very big deal. For California to spend $9.5 billion on illegals, that’s a fourth of what Newsom is demanding from the federal government. You’re a fourth of the way there if you get rid of what you’re allocating. And that’s only for illegals in what they call Medi-Cal. That’s health care. for illegals. I mean, there are days when I read things that I can’t even believe what my eyes are seeing and what my mouth is speaking. $9.5 billion to give illegal immigrants free healthcare. And of course, it certainly isn’t free. The taxpayers are on the hook. And they’ve got the gall to ask for $40 billion? I got an idea. How about, Gavin Newsom, you go GoFundMe. How about you raise money the good old-fashioned way? If people want to give their hard-earned money over to California so that they can recover from the wildfires, and I don’t like being, I don’t like having a lack of compassion. I’m sorry for those people. I hate it for those people. I hate that they live in a state that is run by a leftist lunatic like Gavin Newsom. But if you’re going to devote billions of dollars, that’s on you. That’s on the state of California. That is absolutely not on the federal taxpayer. 800-655-MIKE, 20 minutes before the hour. Again, not to be cruel, not to be mean, not to be ugly. It just seems to me… California ought to look somewhere else for its $40 billion. Let’s see if you agree with me or not. 800-655-6453. This updated a minute ago, Tracy. Now I’ve got 408 and 111 likes, but nothing since then. Wait a minute now. She’s giving me a number. 290? No, I’ve got 408. 408 is what the followers are on Facebook. So Tracy doesn’t know how to do Facebook any more than I do. I mean, we are like a bunch of dummies just trying to mark. Eric is looking at a number 958. Tracy’s still on 250. I’m at 408. We don’t have a clue. I’m starting to figure out why we’re not so popular on Facebook. Portions of our show brought to you by MyPillow. And the flannel sheets are 50% off right now. You’ll save over 50% the flannel sheets mega sale from MyPillow.

SPEAKER 13 :
He’s the happy conservative warrior. From the Relief Factor Studios, here’s Mike Geller.
SPEAKER 05 :
I wonder if any of the FBI officials who authorized a raid on President Trump’s home in Florida or who authorized treating MyPillow’s Mike Lindell like a drug cartel overlord by swarming his car early in the morning outside a Hardee’s drive-thru and confiscating his cell phone. as a result of his support of President Trump and his belief in election integrity. I wonder if any of these FBI thugs back then could have anticipated that Kash Patel and Dan Bongino would be running the FBI. There’s a reckoning that’s coming. Christopher Wray and Adam Schiff, all of these folks… who were engaged in the weaponization of our law enforcement community, every single last one of them are going to face a reckoning. And I believe that. This is fire and brimstone time. And according to Politico, the Democrats are in complete and utter despair They’re in despair over what Trump is doing. It infuriates me that they weren’t feeling despair over the condition of our open border or the lawlessness in America or shoplifters going free or wars all over the world. A new day has arrived. And obviously, if you’re not on board politically with what Trump is doing, you’re having a rough time. You’re having a real rough go of it. I saw a report this morning that dozens of teenagers in Texas died from fentanyl overdoses from drugs that were suspected to have been brought into this country across the southern border. There are so many examples of the way illegal immigration has upended our way of life. And at CPAC last week, Tom Holman, the border czar, had a very plaintive, clear, and concise message for anybody who doesn’t like what the Trump administration is doing.
SPEAKER 14 :
Police Commissioner Boston. You said you doubled down on not helping the law enforcement office of ICE. I’m coming to Boston, I’m bringing hell with me. I looked at the numbers this morning. I counted, I stopped counting at nine. Nine child rapists that were in jail in Massachusetts, but rather than honoring an ICE detainer, released them back into the street. You’re not a police commissioner. Take that badge off your chest. Put it in the desk drawer because you became a politician. You forgot what it’s like to be a cop.
SPEAKER 05 :
He’s right. So many of these law enforcement officials who say they’re going to defy the Trump administration, they have forgotten what it means to be a cop. They don’t know. They don’t care. And the funny thing is, the people on the left, think we’re the idiots. The people on the left, the Democrats, the media, they think Tom Holman and Dan Bongino and Kash Patel and Pam Bondi and Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump and J.D. Vance, and all of us who support them, they think we’re the idiots. Don’t believe me? Check out Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
SPEAKER 11 :
these people are just idiots. I really, you know, I’m at the point where it’s become really hard to have an intellectual debate with any of these people because the level of stupidity that they are displaying every single day, it’s frankly embarrassing, not just in Congress, but as Americans. And the fact that these people are allowed to say just the most ridiculous things How else do we get a Trump presidency again?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yep, just a bunch of idiots. That’s what led to it. That’s what despair sounds like. You want to hear some more? How about Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, the pride and joy of Texas?
SPEAKER 08 :
These are just the facts. When you look at who’s voting for who, the less educated folk. And when I say educated, I’m not even talking about formal education. I’m talking about people that literally don’t want to read and enlighten themselves on facts. Those are the people that typically vote for the Republicans. And it’s one of the reasons that we have to stop writing in theses as Democrats.
SPEAKER 01 :
Right.
SPEAKER 08 :
Like we want to give you every single little. detail that we can find so that you can have all the information. But the reality is that the average person that is going out there and voting, they’re not paying attention to that. And we fail to realize how selfish people are. People go out and they vote in their own self-interest. Right. And so you had all these races that showed up and decided that they were going to vote for the other races because they thought, hey, we are all the same. But the reality is that he is a rich racist. OK. And so when he decided that he was going to look out for somebody, Not the rest of y’all.
SPEAKER 05 :
I love the analysis that people only vote to advance their own self-interest. No, no, no. I want to advance your interest, lady. I want to vote for you. You don’t like rich white guys? Well, you want me to vote for a rich black woman like you. Oh, yeah, and she’s rich. Jasmine Crockett is real rich. So those are a couple of the stars of the Democrat Party. I thought, well, let’s look at, this feels like desperation. This feels like panic. This feels like mass anxiety. What about some of the more level-headed Democrats? Like, I don’t know, James Carville.
SPEAKER 10 :
This whole thing is collapsing. I believe that this administration, in less than 30 days, in the midst of a massive collapse… In particularly a collapse in public opinion. De La Vope at Harvard, who’s very good. I used to think once I saw a Harvard youth poll, I discounted it. I’ve come to say it’s a pretty damn good poll. Pretty good guy. He’s gone from 53 approval to under 30 to 39. That’s a collapse. We’re in the midst of a collapse. This is the lowest approval not even close that any president has ever had at a comparable time. Again, that’s a provable fact. So they’re not going to be able to get a debt extension. That’s pretty clear. I don’t think they’re going to be able to pass reconciliation, but I’m not sure. But they’re going to have to go to Hakeem. And that is going to be the equivalent of stacking arms. It’s over. We can’t go without you. And I think the House Democrats, and this is going to shock a lot of people, I think they know exactly what they’re doing and they know exactly what’s going to happen.
SPEAKER 05 :
Now, what I love about it is he knows better. I can’t speak for the wild-eyed antics of Jasmine Crockett or Ilhan Omar, but I’ve covered Carville for years. Guy’s been around 100 years. He knows the score. If he’s going to go on a podcast and lie like that, and he is lying, there’s no poll that shows Trump going from 53 to 39. In fact, you want to hear some polling? Evidently, Carville didn’t catch Steve Karnacki, the NBC pollster, who said this.
SPEAKER 12 :
He’s done some things, proposed some things that are popular, that executive order to expand oil and gas production, the executive order recognizing two sexes. And also, when you look at immigration, there’s all sorts of different ways to ask about it. But the CBS poll here had asked the general Trump administration program to deport immigrants who are here illegally. You see broad support there when it’s asked at the broad level like that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, broad support? Is that what you said, NBC? Oh, that was yesterday? The other day, James Carville said the utter collapse is underway. What I like about the James Carville clip, and that to me is way more significant than anything that lunatic Jasmine Crockett or that despicable Ilhan Omar could say. Carville knows better. So if he’s willing to lie like that… He is in utter despair. Politico is right. Democrats are facing complete panic, despair, chaos. They got no plan. They’ve got nothing. And the biggest lie of all is Carville confidently saying. The Democrats know exactly what they’re doing. The House Democrats know exactly what they’re doing.
SPEAKER 04 :
I know exactly.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, yeah, sure they do. Give me some more foghorn leghorn, because they don’t have a clue. They’re lost at sea. We know it. And best part of all, James Carville, you know it. Welcome in. It’s a Monday episode of the Mike Gallagher Show. Off to Dallas after the show today.

Become a Pragertopia member. Listen to full episodes of the Dennis Prager Show anytime you want. Go to pragertopia.com and join today. Gosh, somebody just gave me flack from Iowa. Oh, way to go, Mike. You gave away the ending of the movie. This is not a movie. that normal people, I think, would want to go see. Incidentally, we have to correct, I believe, Roger, who is never wrong, but I think he may have misspoke about Pope Benedict. who was Pope Francis’ predecessor. He is not still alive and living in the papal apartments. He passed away a couple of years ago, I believe, on New Year’s of 2022. So Pope Benedict is no longer alive. I remember when that happened. And again, I’m not that plugged into all things Catholic Church related, but I didn’t think popes resigned or retired. And I don’t know if it had something to do with the sex scandal of the Catholic Church or if there was some kind of corruption going on. I have absolutely no idea why that played out the way it did. But it sounds like Pope Francis is not doing so well. And again, I don’t want to be disrespectful to the millions and millions of Catholics in America who, you know, clearly are watching with… great interest in how this is going to play out. There is evil, though, all around us. We’re seeing a response to the weaponization of the FBI and the Justice Department by Trump selecting folks like Kash Patel and Dan Bongino to head up the FBI. Let me give you an example of the kind of evil… That is among us. We’ve seen the anti-Semitism, the protests on college campuses. We’ve seen hateful, horrific acts of random violence against strangers. Here’s an actress. I don’t know anything about Natasha Lyonne. I don’t have any idea what she’s in, what she’s from. But she gave an interview at the SAG Awards. That was apparently last night. And I want to share with you what she said about her concerns regarding abortion rights in America being taken away from people.
SPEAKER 02 :
Like beyond the sort of dialectic around oligarchs and whatever else, it’s like when I think of the kids or like the 12-year-old girl that can’t get an abortion or something or, you know, that’s what really like rips me apart that I, so, but you know, this is America.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, this is America where you get to be ripped apart because of that 12-year-old girl who can’t get an abortion. And imagine having a debate about that, that you give an interview at an awards show as if anybody cares what an actress thinks, and she’s ripped apart because a 12-year-old can’t get an abortion. Interesting to know where that actress’s priorities lie. I also want to remind you of a great shout-out that President Trump delivered at the CPAC conference. This wrapped up over the weekend. President Trump was, of course, the final speaker. And he noticed to his left that Mike Lindell was in the audience, the CEO of MyPillow. And every single day we get to tell you about MyPillow products, the great Mike Lindell. It’s been a while since Mike’s been on the show. We’ve got to get him back, Tracy. Let’s get Mike back on. I’ll reach out to the team and get him back on here soon. I loved what President Trump said about Mike. You know, I… I don’t know about you, but when I saw the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, and we talked about this on the show a lot, I felt this sort of rage. I felt this visceral gut punch that if they can do that to him, they can do this to anybody. And that’s probably why he got elected. Americans said, no, you’re not going to kick him around this way. You’re not going to raid his home. You’re not going to harass him. Good people. Mike Lindell is a good guy. And for a good man like MyPillow’s Mike Lindell to have FBI agents swarm around him while waiting at a drive-thru at a Hardee’s restaurant in Minnesota after a hunting trip. This is early in the morning, crack of dawn. And he’s going through the drive-thru at a Hardee’s, and all these vehicles pull up. He told the story on the show with us before, how FBI agents… confiscated his cell phone because of his belief in election integrity, because of his friendship with Donald Trump, because of the politicization of the FBI and law enforcement. And President Trump is very, very aware of what Mike Lindell has been put through, and that’s why he gave him this big shout-out at the CPAC conference the other day.
SPEAKER 07 :
I’m pointing to Mike Lindell. That man suffered. That man suffered. The FBI thugs went up to him, and they took away everything he had. He suffered. And Mrs. Lindell was a great guy. They went after him. It was just terrible. This was a vicious weaponization of your government. But he’s all, I’ll tell you, he stood up. He’s all man. He stood up. He stood up strong. And nothing was going to faze him. And I want to thank you on behalf of everybody, Mike. You put up with a tremendous amount.
SPEAKER 05 :
I get so frustrated when I see people like Mike Lindell who always stood up for not only President Trump but for his belief in election integrity. And I would always say, gosh, I want to be able to do more. What can I do to help? And the best thing I can do to help as far as I’m concerned is connect you with this great company. These products from MyPillow, you’ll see them when they arrive in the box. If you’ve never ordered products from MyPillow, where do you see how they’re packaged? Where do you see how they’re delivered? Whether it’s the standard classic MyPillow for only $14.98 or the MySlippers or the doggy beds or the mattress top or whatever product you might want to order. And you know what I love about it? In almost every product that I’ve ever ordered over the years from MyPillow, they include a little Bible verse on a little slip of paper. In my bedroom closet, I’ve got about 20 of those Bible verses taped up on the mirror from the years that I’ve been ordering my pillow products. Mike is a good man, a good and decent man, and they should have never put him through what they put him through. And they’re not finished yet. They’re not through with him yet.

But don’t worry, we won’t miss a beat. We’ll be covering all the breaking news and what to make of it all. Have a great day. Be safe. Keep fighting the good fight. I’m Mike Gallagher. God bless America.
SPEAKER 13 :
Mike Gallagher. Every day, Mike visits with Mark Davis, morning host on 660 AM, The Answer in Dallas. Here’s today’s Eminem experience.
SPEAKER 05 :
I am absolutely spent just trying to prepare the show. I am exhausted by Monday morning at 735. There’s like 11 things. That happened since we were, well, we would have been together Friday morning. That’s right. Let’s start with me trying to stick to my rule of never. wallowing in the joy of a reprehensible person being fired for a job. I know. I don’t like it when people celebrate somebody’s career demise. But, but, but, Joy Reid is as odious as anybody out there on television. Yep. She is so grotesque. She is. And it turns out calling everybody a racist Nazi every night evidently doesn’t doesn’t even work for MSNBC.
SPEAKER 16 :
I would love to think that at MSNBC they had a meeting and said, look, we are the liberal Trump hating network. But but she’s too toxic even for us. OK, and maybe that is what happened. But they still employ Rachel Maddow. They still employ Lawrence O’Donnell. Every other show has the same garbage. So I don’t think this is some epiphany from them. Have you seen who they’re going to replace her with?
SPEAKER 05 :
You think Simone Sanders is any better than Joy Reid?
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s kind of where I’m going.
SPEAKER 05 :
Or Michael Steele or the or the or the daughter of the disgraced Bob Menendez of New Jersey. That’s the trio that they’re going to replace her with. So, no, it has nothing. She’s just not good. I mean, she’s she’s not very smart. I mean, and she has been in. So anyway, you got joy. This is our weekend. Joy Reed is out. Dan Bongino is in. As FBI deputy director, if you told me a year ago, I’d wake up one morning and tell my buddy Mark Davis, well, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are going to run Trump’s FBI. Yep. I would have thought you were crazy. Yep. Now, you said something earlier that rings true. This is exactly what we voted for. Yeah. Byron York had a very wry observation this morning on social media, saying that Politico is writing how the selection of Dan Bongino is really, really leading the left to great despair over the weaponization. Thank you. Thank you.
SPEAKER 16 :
To have that politicization removed looks like politicization, since everything’s relative, right? It’s like when Twitter went from being a conservative muzzle to free speech, it made it look like they went hardcore right-wing to some people who are hardcore left-wing. Everything’s relative.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, it’s all relative, and I am, all I can think of is they made a big mistake when they raided her underwear, Melania’s underwear drawer.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes, yes, yes.
SPEAKER 05 :
Blank around and find out. And now we’re in the find out portion of when that happened. I’m not kidding you. This is Trump, as the kids say, he doesn’t have two craps to give. He doesn’t care about optics. He doesn’t care about any of it. He is like, you know what? We’re going to, I got four years. to turn this whole ship around, and he’s going to blow up every single sacred cow there is. Meanwhile, he fires the chairman of the Joint Chiefs. You know, not noticed on the mainstream media radar is the James O’Keefe video, where O’Keefe released a video that purportedly showed a high-level Pentagon official discovering secret meetings to defy and potentially overthrow Trump if he issued orders deemed controversial by military leadership. Let’s just take stock here. All Trump did, what Trump did was he prevented a coup. And this guy, this chairman of the Joint Chiefs, is well-known to be woke, well-known all about diversity, equity, and inclusion.
SPEAKER 16 :
Which does not help us win wars.
SPEAKER 05 :
It does not help us win wars, has no place for that. And look, they all serve at the pleasure of the president. There’s nothing unusual about this. Imagine your employer saying to you, Mark, I want you to give me an email. Tell us five things you accomplished last week. And your head blows up. Exactly. Well, now in your case, yours might. Now, yours might. I mean, I don’t think they would do that with you, but they could with me. I don’t know. And I say, okay, well, here’s what I did. I achieved this. We got that. But instead, they’re losing their marbles. This is absolutely – and here’s the big mistake everybody makes on this whole purging of the federal workforce. They all apply it to Elon Musk. Elon Musk serves at the pleasure of the president. This is Trump’s doge. It’s not Elon Musk’s doge. This is a little game they’re playing in the media because they want to have a rift between Elon and Trump. It isn’t going to work. They don’t care. They don’t care. Let them do it. Let them bellyache. Let them whimper. Let them whine. Let them flip out. Let them refuse to go to the White House like the Philadelphia Eagles are doing.
SPEAKER 16 :
Had not gotten to this. The Philadelphia Eagles sent a little informal poll around the room and they all most of them came back with a hard no that they will not go to the White House as championship teams in various sports traditionally have done for decades.
SPEAKER 05 :
Another reason to hate the Eagles.
SPEAKER 16 :
As if I needed one. And so consistency check, it led me to post last night, shame on any team that does not accept the White House invitation. And I would say that even if I were fighting my way through a miserable Kamala Harris presidency.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, I mean, look at the chiefs. The chiefs went to the Biden White House to be acknowledged. And I don’t think a lot of those guys like Joe Biden. A lot of them are pretty. They’re pretty MAGA. You know, that’s why I was really, really, really rooting for the chiefs. And I’m sad about it. But there’s just classless. It’s tacky. That’s who they are. They’re just they’re just they’re just a bunch of garbage people. And and again, let them let them bellyache. They don’t have to go. Who cares? Don’t don’t go. It gives President Trump more time to do something else.
SPEAKER 16 :
Of course, of course, of course. And this is no higher than the 7,000th most important thing in any given day. But decorum and manners and decency mean something. Well, it does to you and me. It should.
SPEAKER 05 :
It does to you and me. No, it doesn’t matter to a lot of people, unfortunately, on the left who are melting down. in a magnificent way. Honest to goodness, when I was at the White House last week and talked to Gorka, and I’ve never seen him so happy. I talked to him again over the weekend. I mean, it really, we just have to remember that all these things that are being rolled out are precisely what the American people expect, what we voted for, and what we’re going to witness.
SPEAKER 16 :
And they’re actually happening. That’s why there’s such shock. They’re actually happening throughout your entire life and mine. Republicans win. Yay. We’re looking for better results than if a Democrat had won. Absolutely. But we’re going to have usually 14 blue ribbon panels and 27 legislative committees, and your grandchildren will be grown before actual change happens. We’re a month in, a month into Trump 2.0. Look at all the change. The change is real. It is blinding in its pace, and things are actually happening, and that is a historic first. Oh, it’s huge.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s huge. That’s why I’m excited about coming to the Metroplex. I’ll be on the plane later today. We’re headed to Dallas for the big National Religious Broadcasters Convention over at the Gaylord. We had a staffer over there, not part of my show, but a staffer who wrote to one of the Salem executives and said, gosh, it’s so expensive to eat here. Are there places off property that I can go get lunch? I can’t afford the meals here at the Gaylord.
SPEAKER 16 :
Just upstairs. You know who’s upstairs right now? Literally, I went up and said hi at 6 o’clock this morning. Chris Stegall and his producer, Eddie. Fast Eddie. Fast Eddie, exactly. Who I talked to, I filled in for Stegall last week. And so it was great to see these guys. And they’re staying at the Gaylord. And so I was giving them all kinds of restaurant recommendations in Grapevine and Southlake, just like delis and other sort of some medium-cost things and low-cost things and some other high-dollar things just for whatever they want to do. And he said, yeah, listen, the chicken fingers and a Coke for $30, that’s just not sustainable.
SPEAKER 03 :
Who said that? Chris? No, Eddie.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, Eddie, yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Eddie’s not happy.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, it was kind of funny. Obviously, you just outed him because he’s the guy that was concerned about the prices at the hotel. Oh, that’s awesome. I wasn’t going to mention his name.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, both Chris and Eddie are going to come down and sit in with me at about 835 for a quick segment. So I will…
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. Well, tell Eddie, remind Eddie that he is on a business trip and he’s allowed to expense his meals. He may not know how Salem works, but when they travel, when any of us travel, you’re allowed to turn. Now, where are we going? Mesa? I forget. What restaurant are we going to? We’re going…
SPEAKER 16 :
You want to be mobbed? No. There will be no mention made of that. We have a very special group of listeners that you have been kind enough to gather. And then we will be doing that tomorrow at noon, which is awesome. And then we’ll talk about it afterward.
SPEAKER 03 :
Wait a minute. You’re not mentioning the restaurant? Dude, are you crazy? Why? Why not? Do you want to be mobbed in the parking lot? Sure, why not? What the heck? Why not? We’ll say hi to people.
SPEAKER 16 :
Oh, Lord.
SPEAKER 05 :
We’re meeting in secret? This is a secret society? Now, wait a minute. Go back. Let me remind everybody. We did a big, you came up with a great idea. You offered eight people to join us for an in-person M&M experience for life. For a donation to Food for the Porg. A thousand bucks, which is great. Just a quick, cool $8,000, which will feed a lot of kids, save a lot of lives. I agreed to meet you with these eight wonderful people for lunch tomorrow after I get off the air. And you’re going to tell me where to go?
SPEAKER 16 :
I texted it to you. You know where to go. They know where to go. I’m not going to have our time with these generous people splintered out because, you know, 50 other folks decided. Market to market.
SPEAKER 03 :
You are seriously keeping this a secret?
SPEAKER 1 :
100%.
SPEAKER 05 :
Is there a secret handshake at the door? It’s a password.
SPEAKER 16 :
Is there a password? The people who show up, they knock three times and say, the coyote howls at midnight.
SPEAKER 05 :
I got a password. Mark is a kook. That’s my, there’s my password. Mark is a kook. All right, well, should I wear glasses? Should I wear dark glasses? Should I wear a trench coat? Oh, no, I want to know. Come on, where are we going? You’re not going to say? Nope. Rhonda, what’s wrong with this guy?
SPEAKER 16 :
We’ll tell everybody on Wednesday. It’ll be great.
SPEAKER 05 :
On Wednesday.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s going to be a lot of fun. Have you met people? You’re the guy who’s on a cruise and is mobbed by people because it’s the magic of you. I love it. And by the way, you’re why this is necessary because I can walk around and nobody cares. Are you kidding me? You come rolling in, and it’s the Beatles on Ed Sullivan’s.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, please. You’re the legend around here. You’re the legend. I think you need to give people an opportunity to wave at you. Do we have a round? You were really big about having a round table.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes, because if you’ve got 10 total people, the long table doesn’t work, because if you’re at one end, then, you know, you hardly feel like it. Right, right. Exactly. So did you guys set up a round table? Absolutely.
SPEAKER 05 :
At what restaurant?
SPEAKER 15 :
Look at the time.
SPEAKER 05 :
Where are we going? I can’t believe. I’m going to tell anybody. You text me. And if you want to know, 800-655-MIKE. Let me look at my text. I may or may not send it out. I think this is crazy. I don’t know. Okay. It’s going to be fun.
SPEAKER 16 :
It’s like role reversal Monday. Because we love the public. Please look what we do.
SPEAKER 05 :
The rumor that Mike Gallagher never leaves his state room on those cruises is just simply not true. It’s a vicious rumor. I love to get out and greet and meet and kiss babies. I am a man of the people. Now, Mark, on the other hand, you’ve got to do this.
SPEAKER 16 :
If the idea is for me to be in a room of 500 people and shake every hand, I’ll be in a room of 500 people and shake every hand. If the idea is to take eight people at something that is specifically supposed to be for them, I’ll be darned if I’m going to send up a smoke signal that goes, Mark and Margaret,
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, I can happily report that people are completely agreeing with you on the text line. Here’s Dallas. Oh, my goodness, Mike. People pay big bucks to be there with you and Mark. It is an exclusive event. Although Carlotta in Garland says, no, no, mention the name of the restaurant we want to be there.
SPEAKER 16 :
We’ll tell you all about it on Wednesday.
SPEAKER 05 :
All right, Wednesday it is, and I’ll see you tomorrow morning in person. Safe travels.
SPEAKER 15 :
All right, love you. So are we going to be looking at you at the Gaylord from your broadcast operation?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I’m going to be broadcasting from the Perch. We’re going to be on the stage there on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for the big NRP. Can’t wait. See you soon. Safe travels, man.
SPEAKER 16 :
