Join us this week on the Mike Gallagher Show as we delve into the geopolitical and domestic transformations driven by President Trump’s recent actions. From brokering landmark agreements in the Middle East to initiating economic sanctions relief with China, Trump showcases his commitment to shaping a new era of United States prominence. Our discussion touches upon controversies like the acceptance of Qatar’s Boeing 747 and how these global negotiations are being perceived at home.
SPEAKER 05 :
Welcome to the Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review podcast. It’s Friday, May 16, 2025. This week, President Trump visits the Middle East while signing an executive order to lower prescription drug prices, brokering peace between India and Pakistan, and announcing a trade deal with China. Let’s start with the president’s Mother’s Day weekend. After all he accomplished, what will the Democrats complain about next? I mean, it is absolutely stunning. It started out very negatively with a bunch of Democrats storming an ICE facility in New Jersey. And my gosh, arrests ought to be forthcoming, right? No one’s above the law, right? You don’t mind about those January Sixers rotting in jail? And a lot of them did a lot less. than some of these prominent Democrats. But let me just get you caught up. If you’re just tuning in, maybe you were sleeping all weekend, took the kids to the movies, put your feet up. Let me go through the list for you, shall I? Let’s see. Trump announced a trade deal with China, brokered an in-person meeting between Ukraine and Russia, helped stop a potential war between Pakistan and India, announced an end to big pharma U.S. profiteering with an executive order that’s going to dramatically slash prescription drug prices. Oh, and just for good measure, got the final American hostage released by Hamas. What are they going to bitch about now? What are they going to complain about now? You mad about lower drug prices, Democrats? That’s terrible. Wait a minute. What about the plane? What about the plane? The plane. Cutter’s giving the government a plane. A 747. What about that plane? Bunch of boneheaded so-called conservatives with their panties in a wad over Qatar giving us one aircraft, a 747. That’s corruption. Eric Erickson and Jonah Goldberg are in a snit. They can’t believe it. This is corrupt. There’s a plane from Qatar. Meanwhile… Don’t look now. But we’ve got, like, world peace coming. We’ve got an end to the war in the Middle East, perhaps. We’ve got seniors getting dramatic relief from prescription drug prices. Trump releasing the stranglehold that big pharma has on millions of Americans. What about the plane? The plane’s too expensive. This is terrible. We can’t trust Qatar. I always thought it was Qatar, but I think the proper pronunciation is Qatar. Isn’t this glorious to watch? 90-day pause with China. Tariffs are being slashed by 115%. You want to know why the United States is reaching a trade agreement with China, which is why the stock market, incidentally, oh my gosh, just Dow futures soaring. It’s going to be a wild day on the market. All for the good. All to the good, right? But you want to know why we’re getting a trade deal done now? Well, it’s because it couldn’t get done with Biden. And Scott Besson, the Treasury Secretary, explains why. This is, I mean, it’s incredible. You want to see the difference between night and day? Look at the difference between the Trump administration and the Biden administration, as Scott Besson explained moments ago.
SPEAKER 03 :
What has to happen is it has to be fair for the American people. But in January 2020, President Trump produced a template. We had an excellent trade agreement with China and the Biden administration chose not to enforce it. The Chinese delegation basically told us that once President Biden came into office. They just ignored their obligations. So we all already have a large framework. The other thing to remember here, Jonathan, is that this is a pause down to 10 percent. The April 2nd level for China is 34 percent. So we will be working to see where their final reciprocal number ends up. And the negotiations are a combination of tariffs, non-tariff trade barriers, currency manipulation and subsidies of labor and capital.
SPEAKER 05 :
Let that sink in. The Chinese Communist Party knew that Joe Biden was weak and feeble and frail and incapable, and they didn’t care. They didn’t care, but they care about this guy. They care about the new sheriff in town. It is an absolute golden era. And I am at a point right now where I’m inclined to just completely ignore the noise from his critics. They’ve got, what are they going to, again, what do they complain about? The government of Qatar offered to give the American government a Boeing 747 that may eventually serve as Air Force One. The media melted down. The DNC chair, Ken Martin, issued a terse statement to Newsweek. ahead of the banner to be displayed today. Donald Trump is using the presidency to personally enrich himself while he bankrupts working families. His corruption is a slap in the face to millions of Americans who are struggling to get by. Well, put food on the table, might want to go to the grocery store, Ken. Check out the price of groceries, poultry, eggs. According to supermarket… News.com that tracks these things. Grocery prices have experienced the biggest drop in almost five years. Five of the six major grocery store groups, their indexes dropped, led by a 12.7% increase. But wait a minute. Wait a minute. The DNC is highlighting what foreign autocracies around the world already know. Trump has no loyalty to the American people. So what they’re going to do? They’re going to fly a plane. They’re going to fly a plane over Mar-a-Lago with a sign that says Qatar Alago. Qatar Alago. Oh, my gosh. It flows off the tongue, doesn’t it? They got us. They got us. We’re done. Stick a fork in us. It’s over. It’s over for Trump. It’s over for America. That banner is going to do it. You know what’s hysterical about the Newsweek article? The Democrats are very serious about all this, about this banner. Can you imagine them all sat around and they said, let’s fly a banner over Mar-a-Lago. That’ll do it. That’ll really tick them off. Now, he’s in the Middle East. He ain’t even there. So the housekeepers and the Secret Service agents, I guess, that are going to guard the building while he’s gone, they’re going to look up and see the plane and they’re going to say, what a bunch of idiots. What a bunch of morons. You’re flying a banner around Mar-a-Lago and you think you’re making a difference? And some of the useful idiots on our side who are whining about the plane, my gosh, there’s something about Trump derangement syndrome like my friend Mark Davis always says, it makes smart people dumb. It makes nice people mean. Even Senator Rick Scott, a Republican and staunch Trump ally, questioned the plane’s safety. Said, I’m not flying on a Qatari plane. They support Hamas. I don’t know how you make it safe. Oh, right, Senator Scott, because we don’t have the means to make sure a plane is safe. They’re going to sneak a bomb under seat 13B. And when Trump is going to fly on it, they’re going to blow the plane up. Smart people are made dumb. I wonder who’s paying for the banner. Think the taxpayers are paying for the banner to fly around? The banner. Democrats in New Jersey were busy this week. The mayor of Newark and other prominent Jersey politicians found themselves in handcuffs after they tried to force their way into an ICE facility. What are the Democrats doing? They’re storming the ICE facility in New Jersey. This New Jersey mayor was arrested for trespassing. You got members of Congress. That one woman, the Democrat congresswoman wearing the red, oh, she laid hands on law enforcement. There are people that did a lot less than that on January 6th who spent a lot of time in jail. So what’s going to happen to these Democrat degenerates? who decided to stage a photo op and assault law enforcement. It’s a big deal. Look, they kept saying, no one’s above the law, Donald Trump. No one’s above the, okay, no one’s above the law. Looks like there’s going to be some more arrests coming. Here’s the DHS spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin, cut number four, talking about what’s going to happen as a result of the evidence that shows Democrats were committing crimes against law enforcement at this ICE facility in New Jersey.
SPEAKER 02 :
We should let viewers know there will likely be more arrests coming. We actually have body camera footage of some of these members of Congress assaulting our ICE enforcement officers, including body slamming a female ICE officer. So we will be showing that to viewers very shortly.
SPEAKER 01 :
You say a video of members of Congress body slamming ICE officials?
SPEAKER 02 :
That’s correct, sir. It’s disgusting.
SPEAKER 01 :
Okay, and so if you have that video, are you suggesting that members of Congress will be arrested who were there yesterday?
SPEAKER 02 :
This is an ongoing investigation, and that is definitely on the table.
SPEAKER 01 :
Who has the video?
SPEAKER 02 :
ICE does, and we will be releasing that very shortly.
SPEAKER 01 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 05 :
Look, did you hear the CNN anchor? That was a guy on CNN, shocked. Body slamming? Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. Now, honest question. I don’t care if you’re a Republican or a Democrat. If Democrats assaulted law enforcement at the ICE facility, should they be arrested? Even if they’re a member of Congress? You think if you’re a member of Congress, you get to assault law enforcement? Check out Congressman McCaul from Texas and what he had to say about the prospect of arresting members of Congress who happen to be on the Democrat side of the aisle.
SPEAKER 01 :
Should ICE be arresting or even threatening to arrest members of Congress?
SPEAKER 09 :
I mean, that’s obviously a very drastic move. I would only do that if they were complicit with a crime. I don’t know all the facts behind this. If they were just visiting a detention center, I’ve done that many times. If they’re disrupting law enforcement, that’s another question. So, you know, we can peacefully protest in this country. But you cannot be complicit with gang violence against our law enforcement. And I think perhaps that’s what it comes down to.
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m glad I saw that clip in total here on Salem News Channel. Because the headline was making Mike McCaul out to be pushing back against the prospect. Oh, Republican congressman says that’s a drastic move. Yeah, but he’s not condemning it. He’s saying if members of Congress… broke the law, they have to be held accountable. President Trump signed an executive order this week to ensure fair pricing for prescription drugs in America. Everyone says they want a common sense measure like this until the president comes along and actually does it. This is an interesting text from Pennsylvania. And this is the point that makes me think a little bit about this conversation. If you agree 100% with anybody… You have become a cult. And that, of course, is what Trump critics say about MAGA. That’s what Trump critics say about Trump supporters, that we’re all in a cult. And it’s because we’re unwilling to pile on and criticize Trump that people like this Pennsylvania texter say such a thing. And don’t get me wrong, I get it. I understand the criticism. Because I completely admit, I’m very transparent here. I am very reluctant to criticize this administration. Because they’ve got plenty of criticism going on. The entire world is amped up against Trump to try to make him fail. They’re rooting against the country. They’re cheering for America’s downfall. They don’t even want lower drug prices for seniors. I’m not kidding you. They’re already screeching to the mountaintops about his executive order, which would lower prescription drug prices. Don’t believe me? Check out this little ditty, this montage we found on X.
SPEAKER 04 :
Liberals are now fighting against low drug prices for Americans.
SPEAKER 02 :
Trump has just announced that he will be signing an executive order tomorrow that could upend the pharmaceutical industry in the United States as we know it.
SPEAKER 04 :
He’s instituting the preferred nation policy, which simply says that you can’t charge Americans more money for American pharmaceuticals than any other country. It really is that simple. Because the pharmaceutical companies right now make their drugs in America. They use subsidies from the American people. And then after they make the drugs, they sell it overseas for pennies on the dollar, but sell it to Americans for massive profits. And this policy simply says that whatever your lowest global price is for whatever medicine you made, that is the only price you get to sell it for in the United States. That’s reasonable. We are helping pay for the development of these medicines, the development of these drugs. Yet we are being charged sometimes 170, sometimes 1,000 times what they’re paying for it in other countries. And all Donald Trump is saying, if you’re going to produce your drugs here, if you’re going to get subsidies from the government, you do not get to rip off Americans. And liberals are fighting against that. This is further proof that no matter what Trump does, no matter how much it benefits Americans, no matter how many Americans it benefits, they are going to be against it.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t know who that guy is. I’d like to get his name. That’s a social media influencer, though, with some common sense points and pointing out the absurdity of the left and the Trump haters. Whatever he does, they’re going to find fault with. And we have to remember that. So it has nothing to do with being in a cult. It has to do with being unified. You know, the way the Democrats are. Now, all of a sudden, they’re confirming Joe Biden’s infirmities. Now there’s books coming out and stories and, oh, he was going to be in a wheelchair and he was everything. We all knew he was falling apart. They didn’t do that when he was president, did they? You know why? Because they stay unified. Period. End of sentence. We’ve got to be unified. Brought to you by my friend Mike Lindell at MyPillow. And look, these sheets are going, they are flying off the shelves like hotcakes. I’ve been bragging about the Giza Dream Sheets for years.

This is the Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review podcast. The president takes flak from all quarters nearly every day of the week. Most of it is knee-jerk screaming amidst the media, crying that hasn’t let up since the election, right? Sometimes, though, even a critic sees just how revolutionary Donald Trump really is. This is Arnaud Bertrand. I rarely praise Trump, but his speech in the Middle East… is a genuinely incredible one. I’ve been arguing for close to a decade that the single biggest reason for the growing divide between the West and the rest was the West’s inability to accept diversity, the genuine kind, not the fake, the kind sold to you by liberalism. Diversity of cultures, traditions, civilizations, governance systems, etc. Incredible And kind of disturbing, he says, that Trump is the first Western leader who seems to understand this and to criticize the West’s missionary zeal to remake others in its image. Do you have that accompanying clip, Christian? Because I don’t have the number with me. Okay, good. Let me play this for you. Thanks, Christian. Let me play this clip that Arnaud Bertrand is referring to. Because, again, he’s not a Trump fanboy. He rarely praises Trump. But Trump is the first Western leader who seems to understand genuine diversity of cultures, traditions, civilizations, governance systems. Look, let me just put this out there before I play this clip from Trump’s speech yesterday. You know what’s difficult about Gaza? We all can appreciate Gaza. and grieve the suffering of all the men, women, and children in Gaza. Well, you know what makes it problematic? And I’m going to say something that is a very difficult thing to hear. Of course you hate to see many, many, many thousands of people killed in Gaza. But those people all want us dead. Do you understand that? That’s what makes this so complicated. Humanity is difficult. It is so hard to process the reality that the Palestinian people, the people in Gaza, the Gazans, the people who report to Hamas and who overwhelmingly support Hamas, they support terrorism and bloodshed, they want death to the Jews, they want death to the Americans, they hate us. And I hate that. I do. But this is what’s so hard about that part of the world. And this is what Trump has to tackle. Understanding the sheer humanity, for lack of a better word, of the loss of life and the devastation as a result of Hamas. Children killed, blown apart, families torn apart, horrible things happening in Gaza. And yet the problem is, or something we have to tackle and at least recognize, we just have to acknowledge, they all hate us. Now, does that make us, does that make them our enemy? Not necessarily. And that’s what Trump is addressing with this Saudi U.S. Investment Forum and his speech yesterday that this Arnaud Bertrand is referring to.
SPEAKER 10 :
Transformations have been unbelievably remarkable before our eyes. A new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts of tired divisions of the past and forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce, not chaos. where it exports technology, not terrorism, and where people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together, not bombing each other out of existence. We don’t want that. And it’s crucial for the wider world to note this great transformation has not come from Western interventionists or flying people in beautiful planes giving you lectures on how to live and how to govern your own affairs. No, the gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called nation builders, neocons, or liberal non-profits like those who spent trillions and trillions of dollars failing to develop Kabul, Baghdad, so many other cities. Instead, the birth of a modern Middle East has been brought by the people of the region themselves, the people that are right here, the people that have lived here all their lives, developing your own sovereign countries. Pursuing your own unique visions and charting your own destinies in your own way. It’s really incredible what you’ve done. In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built. And the interventionists were intervening in complex societies. that they did not even understand themselves. They told you how to do it, but they had no idea how to do it themselves. Peace, prosperity, and progress ultimately came not from a radical rejection of your heritage, but rather from embracing your national traditions and embracing that same heritage that you love so dearly.
SPEAKER 05 :
Now, again, let me go back to this guy’s post. The biggest reason for the growing divide between the West and the rest was the West’s inability to accept the genuine kind of diversity that Trump is talking about. Diversity of cultures, traditions, civilizations, governance systems. This guy writes, incredible and kind of disturbing that Donald Trump is the first Western leader who seems to understand this and is willing to criticize the West’s missionary zeal to remake others in its image. While President Trump goes where no leader has dared, Democrats remain as predictable as the tides in the ocean. The DNC has voided the election of David Hogg as their vice chair. Did you see that? They kicked him out. That’s the kid from Parkland. And he’s been thrown out with the garbage. And what they don’t like about him is he wants to go after establishment Democrats. So there’s finally a break in the unified front of the Democrats. Because they can’t figure this out. They cannot figure this out. They don’t know what to make of the plummeting inflation and the lower gas prices and the prices lowering at the grocery stores. I mean, they’re left with just lying about it. They’re pretending that what’s actually happening isn’t happening. And here they are. Here’s the old hippie Democrats outside the ICE facility in New Jersey. Now, let me apologize in advance because this is painful to listen to. But it’s true. A bunch of 60- and 70-year-old white hippies singing.
SPEAKER 08 :
Now, you’ve got to see that video.
SPEAKER 05 :
If you’re watching today on Salem News Channel, they’ve got gray hair. They’re all white. Where are the black people protesting Donald Trump? Where are the Hispanics protesting Donald Trump? These are just old white hippies. Let me play it again, Christian. I may put this on a loop because this is the opposition, okay? So just let it soak in. Trump cutting deals with Saudi Arabia, taking the big plane from Qatar, doing a trade reset with China, slashing tariffs with China, getting a trade agreement with the UK. Our stock market is soaring. Our 401ks are rising. The economy is already booming under the Trump leadership. And what’s the opposition sound like? I mean, they’ve literally got the big straw hats and the tie-dye. They literally have tie-dyed shirts on. Some of them do in that crowd. Jill just sent me a text on the MyPillow text line from Walhalla, South Carolina, home of that wonderful Walhalla Performing Arts Center. Jill said, you are so right, Mike. I said the same thing to my husband when we drove by the Seneca, South Carolina City Hall on May 1st during the anti-Trump rally. They were all 100% aging hippies. I just think that’s incredible. And I don’t know what’s behind that. With all the successes everywhere you look, how is a leftist supposed to deal with it all day to day? Well, lucky you. One call to Dr. Mike will fix you right up. Chris in Minneapolis, 18 before the hour. I know you’ve called before. You and I usually argue with each other, don’t we?
SPEAKER 06 :
I don’t know if we argue. We sometimes disagree on inconsistency. How about that?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice spin. Nice spin. I remember you. My memory’s bad, but it ain’t that bad. No, we’ve only talked once, so that’s pretty good.
SPEAKER 06 :
And that was about cops and J-6ers, remember?
SPEAKER 05 :
I remember you. No, I remember you. You’re a Trump hater from Minneapolis, but that’s okay. Go ahead. Dive in.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’ve voted for him three times. I’m not a Trump hater. I know.
SPEAKER 05 :
You voted for him. You’re a Trump supporter. You’re MAGA, right? You got a red MAGA hat, right? No, I do not. I do not. I got you. I got you one. Want me to get you one? No, it’s okay. I’ll send you one.
SPEAKER 06 :
Send me one. I’ll take it.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay. Will you wear it?
SPEAKER 06 :
Probably not, but not wearing a hat doesn’t mean I don’t support the president.
SPEAKER 05 :
I think that’s proof positive. I think you’re a complete sellout. You need to wear the hat in Minneapolis for one day. The problem is, if you wear it in Minneapolis, it may not turn out well for you, right?
SPEAKER 06 :
No, it’s not that bad. Probably not that bad.
SPEAKER 05 :
So go ahead and tell me why taking the plane is a bad idea, Chris, for Minneapolis.
SPEAKER 06 :
So, no, I’m saying I don’t know if it’s a bad idea or not. My concern is that when you were talking about it, there was a guy who texted that said MAGA’s got to support 100%. Right. And what you just did is you talked about, because that’s what the Democrats and the mainstream media did, and now they’re coming out and admitting they lied. We don’t want to be that. Wait a minute. Who admitted they lied? You just said that the mainstream media and everybody was saying Trump’s or Biden’s all right, which we could all see he was not all right from the beginning, are now coming out with books and saying, no, it’s not true. Right, right. Right, but so they lie. We don’t want to be that. And what you want to do, let me finish one thing.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, no, no, but listen, don’t get defensive because I understand your point completely. It’s actually, I mean, it’s a good point. I get it. I totally get it. And it feels inconsistent, I’m sure, to you or to others who say, well, wait a minute, if they should have spilled the beans about Biden. But don’t you agree, and again, I’m giving you a lot of credit, Chris, and don’t worry, I’m not going to cut you short, so take your time. I’m giving you a lot of credit on the point, but what I’m saying is, don’t you think it makes sense to borrow a page from the Democrat playbook and stay unified behind Trump, considering all the headwinds that he faces with the mainstream media and everybody else going up against him?
SPEAKER 06 :
I do, unless it makes me break principle. Because that’s all you really have, Mike, is your principle. Now, what you can do is you can remain silent on it and not talk about it. Or you can say, you know what, I’m not sure what the best thing is on this one. Because if Biden had been offered a plane by China and then said you can keep it when you’re done, we would have all been all over it. All of us. Because
SPEAKER 05 :
It just wouldn’t have made sense, right? Well, but there’s a degree of tribalism that goes on there, of course, as you know, and I get that. But look, your point is, let me give you a quick example, and you said something that really rings true with me, and let me tell you why it resonates. Because let me be very blunt here. I’m not bothered by the plane at all. I mean, are you bothered by the plane?
SPEAKER 06 :
I think what I wasn’t when I first heard it is I started reading other people talking about, first of all, nobody gives anybody anything without wanting something. I’m not saying Trump’s going to give them anything. I don’t think he will.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right. I mean, he’s sitting right now with the crown prince in Saudi Arabia. You worried you bothered by that? Sitting with them? No.
SPEAKER 06 :
We should sit with anyone and have a conversation and try to lead them to truth and righteousness.
SPEAKER 05 :
Absolutely. We have uncomfortable alliances with some dicey places. Let’s start with China. I mean, you want to be a purist. We shouldn’t be dealing with anybody. We shouldn’t be dealing with China. We shouldn’t be negotiating with Saudi Arabia. And we shouldn’t be taking a plane from Qatar. So to your very strong point, and it’s a good point, of course we shouldn’t sacrifice our principles. We should not compromise. Absolutely right. And again, on the merits… In my view, there’s absolutely zero wrong with accepting a $400 million gift from Qatar. But let me also applaud the point you made about just being silent. If you just don’t want to pile on, just don’t talk, just don’t bring it up. That applies in my world in a big way. Years ago, and I’m not mentioning anybody’s name, you might be able to guess who it is. There was a talk show host, a radio talk show host, who hated Trump. voted for Hillary, now this was a so-called conservative and a Republican, and was just blowing up his audience. And the company he worked for said, knock it off. You’ve got to stop attacking Trump. You are a conservative talk show host with a national platform. Stop it. And he wouldn’t stop it. And of course… Chris, you could probably imagine how it turned out for him. He lost his job. You can’t turn on your audience. You can’t blow up your… But their argument to him was… Just talk about other stuff. Talk about the economy. Talk about crime. Talk about inflation. Just stop attacking him. If you don’t like him, just don’t talk about it. Keep it to yourself. That’s, I think, what you’re saying about all of us, that no matter what platform you might be on or whatever role you play, just don’t bring it up and let other people do that. I think you make a good point, Chris.
SPEAKER 06 :
And I would say that on the minor things, and I would call this a minor thing. If there are ethical and moral things, Mike, you can’t remain quiet. It doesn’t matter who it is. Totally. And here’s the reason is, if we don’t hold people accountable, if we are, in a sense, with the guy that wrote up, MAGA’s got to support MAGA 100%, that’s, I don’t know if that’s cult, but that’s in sycophant territory. We can’t be that. We have to look at things and say, okay, and you know what, on a small thing, just, you don’t have to pile on. If something really If something immoral is done, I don’t think you can say this is immoral. Then you have to say, that’s it. I’ve got to speak up.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, yeah. I’d largely disagree with you that you’re a sycophant if you believe in unity and unifying behind Trump. Again, I suspect you’re not all that enamored with him. Look, I like you more than I thought I did, so I don’t want to pick on you. But I will tell you that there are lots of people who sound like you who really aren’t fans. And you say, oh, you know, you’ve got to stand. But again, you make a really series of good points. And I totally get it. And I appreciate you expressing them for us here on the Mike Gallagher Show. There is a difference between being a cult. and being unified. And I am tired of watching Republicans, we’re seeing it right now in the House, in the Senate, they go rogue and they say, oh, I’m going to stand up and push back against the Trump, and all you’re doing is hurting the agenda. You either believe in the Trump agenda or you don’t. So the bottom line is, let’s be unified. Appreciate the call, Chris, very much. There are many reasons to appreciate all that the President is doing right now, not the least among them, he’s very entertaining. It’s a joyful, I just talked to somebody in the White House the other day. They said, you can’t believe what a great mood he’s in all the time. He feels so driven and satisfied and fulfilled because he’s fighting. The guy doesn’t sleep. Morning, noon, and night, he’s fighting for the American people. And it’s just, I’m a little sad for some of these people, for many of them. Here’s an example of the fun that is Donald Trump. He’s talking about the weight loss shot. You know, that’s been the latest craze to get a shot in the belly. And, of course, every day I get to tell you about the alternative to that, Ph.D. weight loss and nutrition. Because if you want to rely on a shot in your stomach for the rest of your life, going to cost a fortune and give you Lord knows what side effects, you knock yourself out. You want a science and data-driven program where you’re not hungry? If I can lose over 50 pounds without ever being hungry, anybody can do this. And that’s what the PhD story is all about. Look, the longer you wait, the harder it is because your body is working against you. And look, Dr. Ashley Lucas has come up with a brilliant way to have your body burn fat without all the hunger pangs. So it’s called PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition. In fact, before I give you the number, let me play for you What Trump said about the semaglutide ozempic shot in the stomach, in his own inimitable way, he calls it the fat shot. And he’s got a buddy who’s a wealthy businessman who’s obese and gets the shot. President Trump, being the good friend he is, had to point out, hey, buddy, the shot ain’t working.
SPEAKER 10 :
I mean, I’ll tell you a story. A friend of mine who’s a businessman, very, very, very top guy, most of you would have heard of him, highly neurotic, brilliant businessman, seriously overweight, and he takes the fat shot drug. And he called me up, and he said, President, he used to call me Donald, now he calls me President, so that’s nice respect, but he’s a rough guy, smart guy. Very successful, very rich. I wouldn’t even know how we would know this, because he’s got comments. President, could I ask you a question? I’m in London, and I just paid for this damn fat drug I take. I said, it’s not working. He said, I just paid $88, and in New York I paid $1,300. What the hell is going on?
SPEAKER 05 :
shot isn’t working. Oh my goodness. So look, perfect timing for me to remind you about PhD weight loss. Make the phone call where you’re not going to have to take a fat shot that isn’t working. You’re not going to take a fat shot that doesn’t make you feel better. Believe me, you don’t know what’s in that thing, but I know what PhD weight loss is all about. Solid, continual, consistent weight loss, and you’ll have the tools for life to keep it off like I have. Make the call, 864-644-1900 to schedule your consultation.
