Join Mike Gallagher as he navigates the tumultuous waters of American politics, with a keen focus on the controversial aspects currently reshaping the Democrat Party. In an eye-opening episode, Mike discusses the troubling acceptance of political violence within party ranks, particularly highlighting the disturbing comments by Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones. As we dive deep into this unsettling phenomenon, Mike raises crucial questions about the party’s evolving stance and what it means for American politics.

From the wild world of D.C. politics to America’s culture clash, brace yourself for the reality check you’ve been waiting for. The one and only Mike Gallagher Show.
SPEAKER 10 :
I think it’s safe to say that today’s Democrat Party has now enthusiastically embraced political violence, killing their opponents, right? That’s fair, isn’t it? Isn’t it okay to acknowledge that? that today’s Democrats who won’t renounce the Virginia Democrat Attorney General candidate, Jay Jones, who once opined and waxed nostalgic about putting two bullets into the head of a Republican leader and watching children die in the arms of their MAGA parents. Since no Democrat is denouncing that, really, and all the Democrats in Virginia are… Still with him. Is it fair to say now that today’s Democrat Party is the party of political violence? And I think the bigger question is, were Democrats always this way? Or have they evolved? I’m honest. Look, I took a couple of days off, thanks to Joey Hudson for guest hosting, and I heartily recommend what I did. I normally take time off and go somewhere and do something, try to spend time with my kids or my granddaughter, friends. But when you take time off and you go travel or do something, you’re still doing something. I needed just kind of to clear my head for a few days. There’s been a lot going on. I’m blessed with vacation days. Why not use them? I never take my vacation days. You know, the company has always been very gracious and generous with days off for me, and I never use them. That’s probably why they give me so many, because they know it’s a smart bargain on their part. So I thought, you know what? End of September, Joey’s ready to go. I’ll take a few days. I’ll clear my head. I’ll sleep in. I’ll watch football. I’ll kick my feet up, and I’ll just take a break. Okay? So I did. I took a break for a few days. Always stay plugged in because you have to in this job. And I’m sitting here today in a state of absolute shock at what today’s Democrats have become. What today’s Democrats have become is almost inconceivable to a normal person, which has got to be good news for us electorally. But what I worry about, it might be fine for us to have this political victory that today’s Democrats have turned into a bunch of violent, loving lunatics that no one’s going to want to vote for. But on the other hand, how bad is it for the country? How terrible is it for America? Let’s be honest here. These are our neighbors. These are people we work with. These are people we’ve got to share space with in this vast, complicated country. The Virginia Democrat candidate for attorney general, a fellow by the name of Jay Jones, who wants to be Virginia’s top cop, he wants to be the attorney general. He once remarked, and I’m just reading here, he once remarked on shooting the Virginia House speaker in texts with another lawmaker. Texts obtained by reporters show an August 22 conversation between Jones and another lawmaker after the death of a 90-year-old Democrat named Joe Johnson. Del Joe Johnson. At the time, several House Republicans, including leadership, had offered eulogizing words for the guy, right? Jay Johnson said, if those guys die before me, I will go to their funerals to pee on their graves. He used a different P word, but I want to try to clean it up a little bit. Send them out awash in something. And then he said, three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. Gilbert, the Virginia Republican he’s referring to, gets two bullets in the head. Now, obviously that’s discreet. He also went on to wish violence on the children of one of his colleagues. He wants the children of one of his Republican colleagues to be killed, too. Now, obviously, in a normal world, that’s disqualifying. If the guy had a shred of decency, he’d throw in the towel and realize, I’m not fit to be dog catcher in Norfolk, Virginia, much less attorney general for the state. But he doesn’t. He’s doubling down. Oh, it was a private conversation. Oh, I’m sorry. I got carried away. Oh, you got carried away? Yeah, you got carried away, all right. But here’s the bigger story. Not a single Virginia Democrat is calling for him to step down. In fact, they’re doubling down. Every Virginia Democrat is enthusiastically endorsing him, even more so. Which makes me wonder if what Matt Walsh wrote on social media is true. And this is the question I have for you. This is the question that I want you to ponder. This is the issue of the day. Matt Walsh wrote, Jay Jones, the guy who wished for political violence, bullets in the head of one of his Republican colleagues, Jay Jones is not going to drop out of the race, Matt writes. Why would he? He knows that the majority of Democrat voters agree with what he said and are happy he said it. Fantasizing about murdering conservatives and their children is not a scandal on the left. That’s how they all feel. Wow. Is he right? I’ve got to ask you, 800-655-MIKE. You know how I love loaded lines. Let’s kick off our Monday, the first Monday in October, with a full bank of phone lines. Look, that’s my commitment to you. Not a lot of talking heads on this show. Not a lot of authors. Not a lot of politicians. I want Americans. I want voices from all over this country, north, south, east, west. The question I have for you, is Matt Walsh right that the reason Democrats aren’t calling on Jay Jones to step down And to drop out of the race is because they agree with him. And they’re glad he said it. Why would they call on him to drop out? Because they all fantasize about killing us. They believe that the way to beat us is to do to us what was done to Charlie Kirk. That’s their belief. Put a bullet in our heads and maybe we’ll all go away. Now, I can’t even believe I’m positioning it this way, but I don’t know any other way. Isn’t Matt Walsh right? I tend to think he is. 800-655-MIKE. 800-655-6453. 14 past the hour. We’re in the Relief Factor Studios in New York City. And boy, do I have some thoughts about New York. We’re here for a big Stop Mom Donnie streaming event tomorrow night. I think it’s kicking off at 7 p.m. Eastern. 4 p.m. Pacific. Go to MikeOnline.com to get your free tickets and be part of this big video stream. Going to have a bunch of my colleagues with us, and we’re going to do a great job, I think, in trying to lay out the case why anybody but Mamdani should win the mayoral race next month. But in the meantime, let’s talk about the state of the Democrat Party. In October of 2025, is Matt Walsh correct that the reason the Democrats aren’t calling for Jay Jones to step down? No. Because they liked what he said. Put bullets in the heads of your political opponents. 800-655-6453. I hope you join us.

They would rather deny pay to our military service men and women. They would rather deny health care to our veterans than deny health care to illegals. They want to give money to illegals so bad they will shut down the entire government to do it. Sean, it’s crazy. It’s absolutely nuts.

In the ReliefFactor.com studios, here’s Mike Gallagher.
SPEAKER 10 :
When you hear what Bill Maher said about Kamala Harris, who’s continuing to tell the lie that her defeat to Donald Trump was the closest presidential race in American history. You talk about gaslighting. How does anyone get away with regurgitating such an easily disproven lie? How could she think her loss to Trump was closer than the famous George Bush, Al Gore, dimpled chads hanging on by the sliver into the middle of the night election. I’m telling you, she’s still doing it. And I wonder… Why anybody isn’t calling her aside saying, Madam Vice President, because you still call her Vice President even though she’s no longer Vice President. You get to keep that title. Madam Vice President, that isn’t true. Why do you keep saying that? I’ll play that for you in just a moment. Tomorrow is a big anniversary. It is a day of memorial. It is a day of heartfelt… Profound prayer. Two years ago tomorrow, Hamas terrorists launched horrific sneak attacks on innocent men, women, and children of Israel. Over 1,300 people were raped, tortured, butchered, murdered. Hamas took dozens of hostages, many of whom are still in captivity. Now, we are prayerful that President Trump is leading the way to a peace plan. But we’ve got a long way to go. As you know, this show has partnered for years with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Having lunch with Yael Eckstein, the IFCJ president in Jerusalem a couple of years ago, was one of the highlights of my life. She is an amazing woman. You know, she… took over the IFCJ from her late father, a bold, courageous man who brought Jews and Christians together to help those in need in Israel. And we asked Yael if there are people around the world who have already forgotten the nightmare of October 7th,
SPEAKER 02 :
Thank you so much for this question, Mike, because indeed so many people have forgotten what happened on October 7th. But here in Israel, no one has forgotten. I’m not going to go into the details because it’s too upsetting for so many people to hear. But on October 7th, Israel saw that we are in a war for survival. And that’s the day that we realized that we need to protect our borders. We need to stand guard. We need to get rid of these terrorists that want to destroy us, because if not, we won’t be here tomorrow.
SPEAKER 10 :
This is where you can come in. You can show the people of Israel that you are with them. and you can support the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. There’s a banner posted at mikeonline.com right at the top of the page where you can make a generous gift of $25 or any amount you can afford to support the IFCJ. $25 will rush a food box to a Jewish person in need in Israel. If you can give $50… You’ll be able to double the efforts, obviously. And thanks to a generous fellowship supporter, for a limited time, every gift will double automatically. Please, please provide hope by making your donation to the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Just go to MikeOnline.com and click on that banner at the top of the page, MikeOnline.com, or you could phone in your donation directly. Call 800-613-5511. 800-613-5511. Or again, just click on the IFCJ banner at mikeonline.com. And thank you. Thank you for supporting Israel, for standing with Israel. I wonder why the mainstream media doesn’t have any… doesn’t have a shred of integrity in calling out the lie that Kamala Harris continues to regurgitate about the 2024 election. Check this out. Here she was again. And here’s the other thing that is quite unprecedented.
SPEAKER 02 :
And it was the tightest, closest presidential election in the 23rd century.
SPEAKER 10 :
screeching like a lunatic that he doesn’t have a mandate because the election was the closest, tightest race in the 21st century. How do you keep saying that? Well, thankfully, there are some common sense broadcasters who’ve noticed this unbelievable lie that Cackles continues to spout. His name is Bill Maher from over there on HBO.
SPEAKER 09 :
Kamala Harris’s new memoir of the 24 election is called 107 Days, but it should have been called Everyone Sucks But Me. 107 days is a victim’s title because, get it, she only had 107 days to win. Yeah, and a billion and a half dollars. And a built-in army of about 75 million people who’d vote for any human-adjacent life form that wasn’t Trump. But in 107 days, nothing is ever Kamala’s fault. Biden lets her down by not stepping down sooner. Pouty face emoji. Gavin Newsom, he was asked for his endorsement, but texted, hiking will call back. But then never did. And then he didn’t even ask her to prom. America, America itself lets Kamala down by not being ready for the running mate she really wanted, Pete Buttigieg. So she’s stuck with the Home Depot paint salesman. And the rest is herstory. Poor Kamala. Poor Kamala. We made her the star of a rom-com and didn’t even give her a gay best friend. Kamala writes that on election night, when it was clear she lost, an aide peeled the words Madam President off the cupcakes before handing them out.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh! Oh!
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, geez, that’s like a scene from Bridget Jones runs for president.
SPEAKER 10 :
To watch the universe turn on Democrats. I mean, even Kirsten Welker yesterday on NBC’s Meet the Press. Check out what Kirsten Welker. Now, you know, she’s a lefty. She’s obviously part of the media establishment. She even calls out the Democrats over their government shutdown hypocrisy.
SPEAKER 13 :
But let me ask you, because you say this is a Republican shutdown, but it’s Democratic senators who are withholding their votes on what is called a clean resolution. That means no strings attached, which is something, quite frankly, leader, that you and other Democrats have advocated for in the past. Take a look.
SPEAKER 12 :
You do not use the threat of shutting down government to try to advance your policy agenda. First thing that the House has to do is pass a clean six-week CR.
SPEAKER 11 :
A continuing resolution that is at the fiscal year 2023 levels is the only way forward.
SPEAKER 10 :
And that’s what the Democrats now are shutting down, even Kirsten Welker. I always say, is it Kristen or Kirsten? I always get those words, that name mixed up. I think it’s, maybe it’s Kristen. I don’t know. Somebody put it on the screen. I think it’s, I think it’s C-I, is it K-I-R or K-R-I? Kristen. Kristen Welker. She’s calling out Hakeem Jeffries. He’s sitting there looking constipated on TV because he’s going, uh-oh, she’s going to play the clip where I’ve always advocated for a clean, continuing resolution. And now I’m not doing it. Now I’ve got to stop Trump because I’ve got to stop Trump. I’ve got to stop Trump because I’m stopping Trump. And now people are going to feel the pain of a government shutdown. How much pain is debatable. But I love it when they say the quiet part out loud. Here’s the lefty Jonathan Capehart. He’s the guy that got fired from the Washington Post. Remember when our colleague Hugh Hewitt stormed off of an interview with Jonathan Capehart because Capehart was attacking Hugh’s credibility? And for many years, Hugh was a writer at the Washington Post. We always gave him a hard time for that. It’s like, Hugh, what are you thinking, man? What are you doing writing for the Washington Post? There you are hanging out with Chuck Todd and the Washington Post. But Hugh has come around. And that was one of his finest hours when he pulled the earpiece out of his ear after this guy, Jonathan Capehart, insulted Hugh’s integrity in a big way. And Hugh had just finally had enough. Well, here was K-Part, who also apparently has a gig on PBS. I mean, it’s kind of amazing. Some of these folks that are the worst of the worst, they’ve got more gigs than an actor working the national tour circuit. I mean, K-Part is PBS and NBC and Washington Post and MSNBC. These folks have paychecks coming from all different directions. And, of course, the now defunded PBS, although that is still up in the air, I guess. But I give you the best and the brightest of PBS. Jonathan Capehart saying the quiet part out loud that, of course, the Democrats are to blame for the government shutdown. Of course, they’re the ones who did it. But don’t worry. They’re doing it because, well, Trump did.
SPEAKER 06 :
Senator Schumer, who was on this program back in March, he said the country avoided disaster when he voted to keep the government open. Republicans are calling that out and saying it’s hypocritical. In your view, why isn’t it?
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, one, we’re talking about a shutdown caused by Republicans not wanting to do something on health care. You can argue whether this is the time to do it. Democrats have decided this is the time to do it, especially since letters are going out next month consumers on the American Affordable Care Act exchanges that their premiums are going to go up. And then they’re going to go up starting in the new year. And so Democrats are saying, well, we’ve got to do something to help the American people. And the Republicans basically said no. And so I think that we can argue whether this is a good time to do this and whether Democrats should do it. I argue Democrats absolutely should do it because they’re doing it for all the right reasons.
SPEAKER 10 :
There you go. There you go. There’s the confession. There’s the admission. Look, the Schumer shutdown has backfired on Democrats bigly. America knows who the exact culprits are responsible for the government shutdown, and it sure is in the Republicans. So you own that, Jonathan Capehart. Good for you. I’m glad you went from crying with the January 6th police officer one day to admitting that it’s completely the Democrats’ fault that there’s a government shutdown. And right now a whole bunch of people are working without a paycheck. You know it’s going to happen, right? You know it’s going to occur. Trump is going to fire thousands and thousands of government workers and replace them with MAGA. Replace them with common sense conservatives. Sort of liberal proof the federal government for years to come. Not too bad, huh? Every single day, it’s a joy to remind you that portions of our show are sponsored by MyPillow. As you know, our friend Mike Lindell, big legal victory last week. He’s been in a ton of hot water, as you know, because he believes in election integrity.

From the wild world of D.C. politics to America’s culture clash, brace yourself for the reality check you’ve been waiting for. The one and only Mike Gallagher Show.
SPEAKER 10 :
Wouldn’t it be wild? Wouldn’t it be just off the charts insane if a communist got elected mayor of New York City and an attorney general in Virginia said, A candidate for attorney general got elected after wishing for bullets to be put in the heads of his political opponents and to have Republican children die in the arms of their parents. Wouldn’t it be wild if this Jay Jones, this year’s Democrat nominee for Virginia attorney general, won? I guess the takeover of the Democrat Party by truly deranged, violent, and radical extremists would be complete. You know, when you go away for a couple of days, and many thanks to Joey Hudson for filling in for me for a few days last week. I just did nothing. Just kind of came to New York a little bit early. Relaxed. Saw some shows, went to some of my favorite restaurants, got to hang out with family and my son and daughter-in-law and just got to sort of break away for a few days. It’s always great to go away, but it’s better to come back. And I come back with this clear-headed belief that the radicalization of the Democrat Party is right in front of our faces. On August 8, 2022, a Republican state legislator apparently accidentally got a string of text messages from a guy named Jay Jones, who is currently the Democrat nominee for Virginia Attorney General. Those comments included wishing bullets… into the head of one of his Republican colleagues, the then Speaker of the House, Todd Gilbert. He said if it came down to the choice of murdering Republican Todd Gilbert or two dictators like Pol Pot, he’d shoot Gilbert every time. The colleague said, Jay, please stop. Jay Jones wrote, LOL, OK, OK. The Republican said, it really bothers me when you talk about hurting people or wishing death on them, no matter who they are. He also talked about other Republicans breeding little fascists. And at one point, he suggested that he could watch the Republican’s wife die. watch her own child die in her arms. Now, it’s one thing, we can all agree that putting a bullet into the head of your political adversary is unhinged, unacceptable, disqualifying, right? If anybody in your life walks around threatening political opponents with mortal violence. That person needs to either be committed, needs to be arrested, needs to be investigated. Obviously, you’ve got a real big problem on your hands. But here’s the bigger problem. Give me one Democrat, starting in Virginia, who has condemned Jay Jones. Just one. None of them are condemning him. None of them are calling him to drop out of the race. In fact, the best and brightest of the Democrat Party are kind of doubling down in their support for this troubled, unhinged, violent-loving Attorney General candidate. Remember Neera Tanden? I mean, she goes way back to, I think, Obama or even Clinton. She’s been a Democrat talking head forever. And she popped up on NBC News. Now listen to what a Democrat operative says about the Attorney General candidate in Virginia. The guy who wants to be Virginia’s top cop. Check out how she reacts to Jay Jones’ behavior.
SPEAKER 03 :
Can we stop with the pro-clutching about the mean tweets and some rare tweets? That this week it came to light that a Democrat candidate for Attorney General of the state of Virginia called for the assassination of a political opponent, called for the assassination of that political opponent’s family, and there’s not one national Democrat calling for him to step aside. Not one. It’s disgraceful.
SPEAKER 13 :
Nero, let me let you respond to that, because that is going to be a big story, I think, in the coming days.
SPEAKER 05 :
I mean, I absolutely think people should criticize that 100 percent. It’s I think it was a private conversation he had, but still awful and disgusting. Isn’t calling for a public terrible.
SPEAKER 01 :
And it should be condemned.
SPEAKER 05 :
It should be condemned. But then we should condemn that. But then you should condemn when the president is called to the Democratic Party, the party of Satan.
SPEAKER 03 :
Why don’t we just say both of those things? I think I’ve paid the price for central political violence on our side.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I agree with that. But let’s just then, like, criticize other Republicans more than the president.
SPEAKER 03 :
I think I really have. For not staying safe. But the fact that not one Democrat has said that when he called for a political assassination in this moment of political violence is crazy.
SPEAKER 10 :
We just had one of the most prominent conservative influencers in the country assassinated in living color, right in front of everybody’s eyes. He bled out in front of everybody. And these lunatics on the left think it’s time for whataboutism. I’m with Greg Gutfeld. Those days are gone. If that’s the best you got in defending Jay Jones by turning around and saying, well, what about when Trump says terrible things about the Democrats? I want to read an essay that Guy Benson over at Town Hall wrote about Trump. this extraordinary turn of events where the attorney general candidate in Virginia wished political assassination upon his Republican colleagues in Virginia. Guy wrote, I’d like to ask my non-conservative followers to pay attention here for just a moment. I don’t need a response. I don’t need a rebuttal or a whatabout. Just read on and consider what I’m saying. We are only a few weeks removed from a leading conservative figure being shot in the throat and killed by a leftist for and during his speech at a public speaking event. Stunning, jarring numbers of leftist Americans justified or celebrated this assassination. aligning with multiple public polls showing that a sizable minority of leftists in this country think political violence can be acceptable. He goes on to list the attacks, the physical violent attacks we’re witnessing by leftists in America. And then Guy concludes by writing, and yet, we see many of our leftist friends tweeting and posting about how their opponents are the dangerous and authoritarian fascists. I ask you, Guy Benson writes, to try to contemplate, even for a quiet moment or two, how this might strike many of us. That’s all for now. Thank you. You can read Guy’s post. I’m sure you can find it on X. I’ll tell you how it strikes me. That’s today’s Democrat Party. When a Democrat goes off the rails, like Jay Jones obviously did, it’s incumbent upon his fellow Democrats to do the right thing. And the right thing would be, well, of course he’s not qualified to be Virginia’s top cop. He’s fantasizing about having his political opponents assassinated. He’s fantasizing about children being killed and dying in the arms of their loving parents. Of course this guy’s a freak show. Of course he’s not qualified to be Virginia’s Attorney General. But now name one Democrat who has called on him to drop out of the race. Is there one? I’m not asking that question rhetorically. Is there a single Democrat in America who has called on Jay Jones to withdraw from the race? I believe the answer is no. And I believe that’s confirmation that they must agree with him. They have to agree with him. I mean, his comments were so egregious that it’s not even a heavy lift to say, look, he’s got to step down. Obviously, I mean, this is not a guy qualified or capable of being the attorney general of Virginia. He’s going to have to prosecute crimes. He’s the top cop. The attorney general is a very important, powerful position. Not one Democrat has said the guy’s got to go. He’s got to step out of the race. Not one. I think Matt Walsh might be right. Matt Walsh posted something that was pretty provocative, as is often the case with Matt. And I’m going to read this to you, and I’m going to challenge you to answer Matt’s post with a yay or nay, thumbs up or a thumbs down. Matt Walsh writes, and I have a hard time disagreeing with it, of course he’s not going to drop out. He’s got the cover of all the Democrats who think what he said is correct. Let me read what Matt Walsh said, and then I’m going to turn the phone lines open to you at 800-655-MIKE as we kick off a Monday in the Relief Factor studios. Matt writes, Jay Jones isn’t going to drop out of the race. Why would he? He knows that the majority of Democrat voters agree with what he said and are happy that he said it. fantasizing about murdering conservatives and their children is not a scandal on the left. That’s how they all feel. Wow. Is he right? 800-655-MIKE. How many Democrats did you hear celebrating the assassination of our friend and colleague, Charlie Kirk. How many Democrats do you hear fantasizing about the assassination of President Trump? How many Democrats have you witnessed expressing jubilation at the idea of killing Republicans? I don’t want to believe that Matt Walsh is right, but perhaps he is. Maybe the reason there’s a failure… of the righteous condemnation of Jay Jones in Virginia is because that’s who they are. They’re at a point now, they’re so crazed that they think the only way to beat us is not at the ballot box, but to kill us. 800-655-MIKE. One open line. Call or text. And you know me, I love loaded phone lines. Fill up my lines. Let’s flood the zone here with your reaction to this Jay Jones. And again, it’s not even a Jay Jones scandal. It’s a Democrat Party scandal because the Democrats are incapable of doing the right thing. Like the old saying goes, when people tell you who they are, believe them. They’re the party of political violence and bloodshed and chaos and destruction and despair and darkness. And ironically, they call us the fascists. They call us the authoritarians. Wow! 800-655-6453. Imagine this guy as the top cop in Virginia and the abuse that would follow him. The abuse of a monster who wants to fantasize about conservatives’ children dying in their parents’ arms, putting two bullets in the head of somebody because of their Republican status. Let that sink in. Let that sink in.

SPEAKER 10 :
What do you think is going to happen if President Trump winds up getting the Nobel Peace Prize? The families of the captives who are still being held hostage in Gaza called on the Nobel Prize Committee today to award President Trump the Nobel Peace Prize over his work to try to secure a hostage deal. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum sent a letter to the committee touting President Trump as a worthy recipient for the Nobel Peace Prize. Just for the deal that’s on the table right now, which seeks to free the remaining 48 hostages and end the war in Gaza. Oh, my gosh. They’ll lose their money. They’re going to give the Nobel Peace Prize to a fascist? How does that work? Did you see Jane Goodall, that kind, saintly, cherished woman that studied the chimpanzees? Was she gorilla in the mist? Was that her story? I don’t know. But you know who she was. I mean, just a kind, grandmotherly type, always out there. I mean, I saw a video of her hugging a gorilla over the weekend. And it just really touched my heart. I really love animals. And I appreciate, you know, the work that she did on behalf of the chimps. You know, right? She died a week or so ago. She was in, I think, her 90s. Nice, full, wonderful life. She gave an interview. And I’m not entirely sure if it’s AI or not. I’m praying that it is, but I don’t think it is. She gave an interview that she stipulated could only be released after she died. It was supposedly in March. And in the interview… She said there were people she hated, and she wanted to put Elon Musk and Donald Trump on one of Musk’s spaceships and jettison them out into space. Kind. I’ll bet she had a Love Always Wins bumper sticker on her Prius. Yes. And she’s out there hugging on the chimps and kissing the gorillas and everything. She wants Elon Musk and Trump and others. Oh, and Trump supporters. She wants us all to be jettisoned out into space. You think I’m making this up? I almost was going to give it to Christian to play, but I thought, do we want to hear that? Because people love her. What would she be saying if the man that she wants jettisoned out into outer space would get the Nobel Peace Prize? What these people must think who are so insane. My friend Mark Davis always says that Trump derangement syndrome takes nice people and makes them mean and takes smart people and makes them stupid. Yeah, nothing like unifying when you want the president to be jettisoned into outer space because you hate him so much. At least that’s not as bad as wanting him to be assassinated. I don’t think she said that. Chicago just sent me a text message. No, the gorillas in the mist lady was murdered. I don’t know anything about it. I just remember that title for some reason. But Jane Goodall, she’s always out there. Christian wants to play it so badly. I know he does. I can see the look on his face. He’s now rushing to find the clip. Don’t do it. Should we play it? We’ve got a lot of breaking news today. We’ve got Portland. We’ve got Chicago. We’ve got Virginia. We’ve got the government shutdown. We’ve got maybe a peace deal finally that President Trump is behind. The letter, incidentally, that the families of the hostages wrote says, at this very moment, President Trump’s comprehensive plan to release all remaining hostages and finally end this terrible war is on the table. We strongly urge you to award President Trump the Nobel Peace Prize because he has vowed he will not rest and will not stop until every last hostage is back home. Look, the Democrats and the never-Trumpers, they’re going to have a real problem on their hand if the fascist dictator Hitler tyrant gets the Nobel Peace Prize. I mean, it’ll never happen. There’s no way they would ever, although maybe they’ll be forced to. Maybe they’ll have to do it. Tracy’s all nervous about anybody bagging on Jane Goodall. Tracy, oh, she’s loved by many. Yeah, she wants the president to be jettisoned out into outer space because she hates him so much. Yeah, she seems real nice. Tracy’s like, oh, you’re going to get in trouble. Don’t make the Jane Goodall lovers mad at you. Well, I think that’s just my lot in life. I’ve got to accept that. Welcome in. Good to be back after a few days off. Thanks to Joey Hudson for guest hosting for a few days, doing the tremendous job that he always does. And I did nothing. I just went and came to New York a little early. Some would call me crazy because it is, after all, New York. And there’s still, yesterday I saw a parade of, there were some NYPD officers on horses. I took a video clip of it and posted it on X and said, you know what, even as this city is being run into the ground and maybe on the verge of electing a communist named Zoran to be the mayor, there’s still some moments of greatness. God bless the NYPD. So came early, saw a couple of shows, had some fun. Mamma Mia is back at the Winter Garden. Now it’s the tour, but it’s great. It’s a fun, feel-good, it’s ABBA music. And then yesterday, Ragtime over at the, I think it’s the Lucille Lortel Theater. It’s part of the Kennedy Center Complex Theater. Have you ever seen Ragtime? I know I’m the theater geek around here, and you’re probably rolling your eyes at me, but this is one of the most stupendous productions of Ragtime, which is one of my favorite musicals of all time. If you’re going to be in New York and you want to see a show, see Ragtime. Oh, my gosh. It’s unbelievable. I mean, I’m like weeping at the end of this thing. I mean, it’s powerful. But anyhow, just kind of enjoyed a few days of rest and relaxation. Did you find it, Christian? I know he wants to play it. Do you have it? I mean, do we dare? Tracy, I want to play it just to upset Tracy because Tracy is just terrified that we’re going to play it. So we’ll see if Christian puts it together here in just a moment. And speaking for a moment here of Israel, we are right now in our October campaign to lift up the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. I asked Yael Eckstein, my friend and, of course, the president of the IFCJ, if she felt that people around the world have already forgotten the horrific nightmare that Israel endured two years ago tomorrow.
SPEAKER 02 :
Thank you so much for this question, Mike, because indeed so many people have forgotten what happened on October 7th. But here in Israel, no one has forgotten. I’m not going to go into the details because it’s too upsetting for so many people to hear. But on October 7th, Israel saw that we are in a war for survival. And that’s the day that we realized that we need to protect our borders. We need to stand guard. We need to get rid of these terrorists that want to destroy us, because if not, we won’t be here tomorrow.
