Democrats are embracing criminals, singing pathetic songs for MS-13 gang members and defending a truck driver who killed three people – all while trashing Trump and mocking ordinary Americans. Mike Gallagher exposes the left’s cult-like obsession with opposing everything Trump stands for, even safer streets and a stronger country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He’s the happy conservative warrior, Mike Gallagher, broadcasting across hundreds of radio stations nationwide and seen on your trusted conservative TV network, Salem News Channel. Here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 19 :
I’m starting to think that the Democrats are intentionally sabotaging their own side. There’s no way what I’m about to play for you is real. Is there any bad guy that the Democrats aren’t going to embrace? The truck driver, was he from India or Pakistan? The guy that did the illegal U-turn and led to the deaths of three people. He killed three people on the highway. They’ve got like over two million signatures rallying behind him. Guy killed three people on the highway. And they’re in his corner. Luigi Mangione. I mean, you go down the list of all the bad people that the Democrats are. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The MS-13 gangbanger. The wife beater. The trafficker. They’re loving him. And, you know, you see this and you think, no, no, no, that really isn’t possible. This can’t really be happening. And… There’s a song that they all sat around at some protest somewhere singing about their love for Kilmar. Now, I want to study this because, look, I’m known to belt a few tunes. I sang Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ the Boat on the cruise ship last week. There is a tape of it, by the way, but I will not torture you with it. You can’t ask me. Wild horses won’t drag it out of me. But there is a tape of me singing Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat. I don’t think it’s all that great. I had a little bit of some allergies, and I wasn’t really in good voice. But anyway, I can sing. And when I sing, I do it with passion. I put everything into it. You know, if I’m singing Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat, or if I’m playing Daddy Warbucks and I sing NYC, you know, you really got to belt it. You got to own it, right? When you sing, you really want to convey the passion you feel for what it is you’re singing, right? Okay, so check out a group of… leftists all wearing pink because I guess that’s the color. This is the pro-MS-13 gangbanger color is pink. If you support a gangbanger, you go around and you wear a pink shirt and pink pants and pink hats and everything. So here they are all clad in pink. Now I want you to hear and see while watching on Salem News Channel the complete lack of of any passion or enthusiasm behind their pro-Kilmar song. Did you see? You think they believe that? Kilmar is our neighbor. You can’t have him, Trump. Yay. No, you can’t. Did you see that? They don’t believe that. That’s an actual protest. Play it again, Christian. Now, again, if you’re going to do it, you’re going to put everything into it. Kilmar is our neighbor. You can’t have him, evil Trump. Hitler, yay! I mean, you’ve got to get into it, right? You’ve really got to put your heart and your soul into this. Instead, we get this flaccid, impotent, weak, pathetic, puny little song. I am so embarrassed for those people, but I’m telling you, they’re part of a conspiracy. Here’s my belief. They are purposefully sabotaging their own side. They are. Those are actors. Those are theater people pretending to be pathetic, cringy, embarrassing progressives. Because you can’t defend that. If you were a high school drama coach, you’d say, that’s terrible. You’ve got no passion. What are you doing? You’re not singing with any enthusiasm. Nobody believes that you’re on Kilmar’s side. And they’re not on Kilmar’s side. They’re not. They’re not on the side of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. They’re not on the side of the guy that killed the three people on the highway. They’re not on the side of Luigi Mangione. I’m starting to think they’re purposefully imploding. Because even if you’re a fan of death, of despair, of murder, of violence, which it appears to be, you’d at least pretend to be passionate about it. They’re just against anything related to Donald Trump. If Trump is for banning flag burning, they’re for burning the flag. If Trump wants crime to go down in American cities, they want crime to go up in American cities. If Trump wants a better economy, they want a worse economy. I mean, you know, a lot of people on the left accuse us Republicans of being in a cult. Do you not think that’s a cult? Do you not think those are people that were about to drink the Kool-Aid that Jim Jones made his people drink in Guyana? Remember that? Let’s play it a third time, and then I’ll open up the phone lines. Again, this is an I don’t know where this was. I don’t know what city it’s in. Probably Baltimore, because he’s, after all, just a Maryland man. One more time, Christian, with feeling or not. Kilmar is our neighbor.
SPEAKER 05 :
You can’t have him, Trump. No! Kilmar is our neighbor.
SPEAKER 04 :
You can’t have him, Trump.
SPEAKER 19 :
That can’t be real. That isn’t real. There’s no way that’s real. There’s no way that’s real. I would pay $10,000 right now to interview one of those people and say, do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound and how stupid you look? Again, just put a little feeling into it. 800-655-MIKE. Welcome aboard. We’re in the Relief Factor Studios. A busy Tuesday. Great to have you here. We have a lot to cover today. 800-655-6453. I hope you join us. Do you think I’m on to something? My instincts are pretty good. And I’ve got a hunch something else is going on here. I’ve got a feeling that perhaps, just perhaps… This self-destruction by the Democrats is intentional. They’re doing this on purpose. They’re shooting themselves in the foot. Now, why they would do that, I don’t know, but that can’t be real. Kilmar is our neighbor. You can’t have him, Trump. No. Kilmar is our neighbor. You can’t have him, Trump. No. Oh my gosh. That’s bad. That’s really bad. PhD weight loss has changed my life. And I’ve got a little secret for you.

SPEAKER 19 :
The Democrats are trying to fix their broken party, and the DNC held their summer meeting yesterday in Minnesota where Governor Tim Walz appeared. and had some rather disparaging things to say about the more than half of America that is supporting President Trump and his agenda.
SPEAKER 06 :
Think of how easy it would be to be a damn Republican. Oh, what should I wear today? This stupid freaking red hat. What should I say today? I don’t know. Just make sure it’s cruel. Who do we listen to? That guy. Oh, the felon in the White House? Yeah, listen to him and that will be fine. Now he’s talking about burning flags. He’s going to have flag burning or whatever. Because he knows there’s a hell of a lot of flags with his picture on it that are going to get burned. There’s a whole lot of that kind of crap that people are sick of. And I have to tell you, We can have our internal decision-making, our internal healthy debates, but I refuse to believe we do not have the luxury to fight amongst ourselves while that thing sits in the White House.
SPEAKER 19 :
That thing. The governor of Minnesota referred to President Trump as that thing that sits in the White House. The hatred in their hearts. The viciousness. is so bad and it’s getting it’s it’s kind of crazy to witness I want them to keep speaking I really do I want them to keep it going Tiffany Cross is the fired MSNBC anchor when you’re too radical for MSNBC you know how bad you are right but they’ve got her over on CNN and last night She claimed that Stephen Miller is a white supremacist, and she insisted that’s a fact. It’s a fact that Stephen Miller, who is helping to shape the immigration policy of the Trump administration, is a white supremacist. Now, a lot of people are calling for her to be dismissed from CNN. I don’t know if she’s a contributor over there. I don’t know. I don’t care. I don’t know anything about her. I don’t care to know anything about her. But I don’t want her silenced. Keep it going. Tim Walz, keep referring to the President of the United States who was duly and rightfully elected by the majority of Americans in this country. You call him that thing. You mock people who wear a red MAGA hat. Keep it going. Because if they keep it up, they may never win another election. How crazy is today’s Democrat Party? I remember a few years ago I went to some show somewhere and the woke producer got up before the show and said, we now want to begin our presentation, but first we must apologize to the Sequoia Indians because this theater is standing on stolen land by the white America. And we want to apologize to these Sequoia Indians for, you know, presenting this production of cats on stolen land or whatever the show was. They did it yesterday. The DNC kicked off their entire summer meeting with this little doozy, this little gem, a land acknowledgement. Because every good Democrat has to start every meeting with a robust land acknowledgement. Here’s what it sounded like.
SPEAKER 14 :
lindy somic who is from the saginaw ojibwe nation and she’s going to deliver our land acknowledgement today lindy buju uh lindy salmik nindichitikas amikdottam uh saginaw chippewa dojiba anishinaabekwe and dao uh good morning uh dnc members friends and relatives uh let’s talk about the land for a second uh The DNC acknowledges and honors the Dakota Oyate, the Dakota people, who are the original stewards of the lands and waters of Minneapolis. The Dakota cared for the lands, lakes, and the Wapatanka, the Great River, the Mississippi River, for thousands of years before colonization. This land was not claimed or traded. It’s a part of a history of broken treaties and promises. And in many ways, we still live in a system built to suppress indigenous peoples’ cultural and spiritual history.
SPEAKER 19 :
Well, why don’t you ask for it back? Why don’t you stand there and say, hey, DNC, give me the land back. I’m part of the Lakota tribe or whatever she is. Give me the land back. Because, you know, spoiler alert, they’re never going to do that. Nobody’s going to return the land. The land at the paper mill playhouse or whatever that theater was, they’re not going to give the land back. They’re going to keep the land. They got the theater on the land. They’re not going to return it to the Indians. You’re out of luck. Hey, lady, you’re wasting your breath. You’re up there moaning about the indigenous peoples having their land stolen, but it’s never going back to you. Look, let this continue. I want them to keep singing, and they are singing. Let me give you the passionate, spirited cries of the Democrats who have cozied up to a dangerous MS-13 gang member, a wife-beater, a trafficker, a human trafficker. His name is Kilmar. And they, on the left, love the guy.
SPEAKER 03 :
Kilmar is our neighbor.
SPEAKER 23 :
You can’t have him, Trump. No! Kilmar is our neighbor.
SPEAKER 04 :
You can’t have him, Trump.
SPEAKER 19 :
This is Trump’s strength. This is his superpower. Getting his political opponents to act crazy. So I don’t want it stopped. I want them to continue to do it. I want them to continue to to push back against normal, reasonable, law-abiding people. Like this Chicago resident. Here was somebody on News Nation last night talking about how dangerous Chicago is, as if that’s a newsflash to anybody. Trump wants to make American cities great again by getting rid of the violence, the carjackings, the muggings, the murders, the crime. That, of course, is something that the Democrats are opposed to. Listen, check out what a normal… Chicagoan says about the violence there. Our children can’t walk around the community without fear of being hurt or kidnapped or having to drive by. I mean, that’s a black guy worried about his safety, his family’s safety, worried about getting shot in drive-by shootings. And what’s happened in Washington, D.C. since Trump dispatched the troops there? Hasn’t been a single murder in 12 days. Carjacking’s down something like 86%. People aren’t committing crime right now in D.C. You want to know why? Because there are armed troops. helping to make Washington, D.C. safer, that is something that the Democrats are against. They’ve collected over 2 million signatures for the guy from India, the illegal truck driver, who killed three people on the highway with his dangerous criminal U-turn, killed three people. They’ve got a petition, 2 million strong, supporting him. The Democrats continually go and embrace the criminals. President Trump was asked about those pathetic, impotent, flaccid, pink-wearing goofballs with their unenthusiastic, Kilmar is our neighbor. You can’t have him, Trump. Go, Kilmar. I mean… That was such a pathetic display of, I mean, I just, I’m embarrassed for them. You must be too. Yesterday, President Trump was asked about these deranged lefties singing songs on behalf of the MS-13 gangbanger.
SPEAKER 17 :
Thank you, Mr. President. Today, MS-13 gangbanger and human trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia turned himself into ice in Baltimore. Do you have any comment on this? And why are the Democrats so emotionally attached to this man who beats his wife and is part of a terrorist organization?
SPEAKER 07 :
Because they’re they think he’s going to be good for votes. And I think he’s very bad for us. These people are deranged. He’s not good for votes. He beat the hell out of his wife. His wife is afraid to even talk about it. She’s been mauled by this animal. And, you know, through a system of liberal courts.
SPEAKER 15 :
you know he’s doing things but no we have that under control and pam has uh got that very much under control do you want to comment on it no no we’ve got him under control he will no longer terrorize our country he’s currently charged with human smuggling including children the guy needs to be in prison he doesn’t need to be on the streets like all these liberals want him to be and as part of this operation here in dc we’ve also taken off msm MS-13 members. We’ve taken, I think just last night, we got a TDA guy off our streets right here, right around from where we all work. Another TDA member gone because of this project. So we’re going to keep America safe from all of these foreign terrorist organizations, including Abrego Garcia.
SPEAKER 19 :
Look, I don’t want these people to be silenced. Do you have the Tiffany Cross clip? I mean, I almost hate to play it because it’s such a smear. They hate this guy because he’s so effective and he’s so good. Every single time you see him on TV laying out the immigration policy, he makes more and more sense. They hate him because of the success. You want to talk about a sealed border, a secure border? Stephen Miller is one of the architects of our secure border. But they see this guy as Voldemort. He’s the worst. Check out Tiffany Cross last night. This is the woman that was too radical for MSNBC. They dumped her. Now she’s appearing on CNN saying filthy things like this.
SPEAKER 12 :
Because any time that we play something from Stephen Miller, it would be journalistic integrity to point out that he is a white supremacist and he is the brainchild behind this policy. That’s not my opinion. That’s actual facts. And for him to purport lies from the Oval Office as a white supremacist, it should be pointed out.
SPEAKER 19 :
Now, of course, the natural, normal response is she ought to be fired. No, keep saying it. Keep it going. I don’t want these Democrats silenced in any way, shape, or form. I want them to be on the side of criminals. I want them to continue to advocate against the police. I want them to loathe the National Guard. I want them to continue to be on the side of lawlessness, of violence, of crime, of mayhem, of chaos. They are the party of chaos right now and everybody knows it. Everybody gets it. So keep it going because we’ve got to win next year. We’ve got to win in the midterms and we’ve got to keep this freight train rolling. And the only way that we can stop it as if we get in our own way. 800-655-MIKE. It’s 19 past the hour. It’s great having you here on a Tuesday. We’ve got a lot of breaking news today here in the Relief Factor Studios. Welcome aboard. 800-655-6453.

You want to keep the toxicity alive so that normal Americans can be reminded just how abnormal today’s Democrat Party has become. It’s the craziest thing. I can’t wrap my brain around whether they have imploded into this lunatic party or if they’ve always been this way and they’re just being exposed. Let’s see what you think. 800-655-MIKE.

He’s the happy conservative warrior, Mike Gallagher, broadcasting across hundreds of radio stations nationwide and seen on your trusted conservative TV network, Salem News Channel. Here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 19 :
These days, it’s pretty hard to find the clip of the week or the month or the year or the clip even of the day. There’s so many crazy things being said out loud under the guise of policy positions. We actually have right now extraordinarily stupid people saying stupid things. And it’s quite the thing to behold. I saw a video of a 60-year-old man in Georgia. I don’t know where in Georgia, I think around the Atlanta area, but I could be wrong. And he taped himself on social media. This is a boomer, of course, 60-year-old guy, a baby boomer, expressing concern that the people who don’t like Trump have to Meet in secret. These are secret anti-Trump meetings because they’re afraid to speak out against Donald Trump. They are actually running with Trump is a dictator, and they’re afraid something’s going to happen to their pickleball games if they speak out. Check this out.
SPEAKER 22 :
So last night I attended an underground secret meeting with our neighbors in a neighborhood in North Georgia, a large neighborhood of about 1500 people. red state red town and about 60 of our neighbors had a secret meeting i’m not exaggerating secret it was passed one by one to people that are against this dictator trump and all the corruption that’s going on in this country and we met a half an hour away from our neighborhood so none of our neighbors would know most them most of them we guess are for trump that we were actually having this secret meeting. I happened to speak at the meeting for a few minutes and I suggested that we form a club and we meet at our clubhouse. We have a huge 40,000 plus square foot clubhouse in this neighborhood and we have lots of room. And I said, why don’t we meet there and try to expand the group? And the look of fear on the faces of my neighbors, average age, 65, 70, So older people, right? They looked terrified of this. And basically it was shot down and most of them said, no, we can’t meet at the clubhouse because our neighbors will find out. And if they find out we’re against Trump, we’ll be blackballed from every event, every pickleball and every tennis and every club in our neighborhood, which is very active neighborhood, super active neighborhood. And we’ll be ostracized. We have to meet secretly. And I’ve been thinking about it all night, dreaming about this all night. People are terrified to talk to their neighbors. This is the United States of America. I don’t know how old you are, but I promise you, I’m 60 years old. This is not the country I grew up in. This is not the country I grew up in. It’s become a place of fear of our own neighbors. Scary times, sad times in America.
SPEAKER 19 :
When I was flying to Seattle for the Patriots Alaska cruise last week, I saw a guy at the gate who had a red Make America Great Again hat on. And I thought how bold it is of him. to do that. And he seemed very confident. And I went up and spoke to him. And he had a Hispanic accent, a pretty thick Hispanic accent. And he was just asking about when the boarding was going to take place. But I told him, I said, really love the hat. And I was thinking about how bold you have to be to profess your support for the Trump administration and the direction the country is going in because of people like this guy. Now, this guy characterizes it that he’s the side. He represents the side that is afraid. He’s afraid. Of course, nothing screams secret meetings louder than posting yourself on social media and going viral. And this guy has gone viral. Somebody knows who he is. He looks like a professional. He’s got, you know, like white guy with glasses, 60 years old. And he is expressing regret that this country is unrecognizable because people are afraid to criticize him. Donald Trump. I mean, this is such lunacy. First of all, somebody just texted me from Colorado. If this guy is afraid and holding secret meetings, why is he posting himself for all to see and hear on social media? Because there is nothing normal about these people. Nothing. Nothing. I long for a good old-fashioned policy debate with people that disagree with my belief that a secure border and safe cities and lower inflation and jobs is a good thing. I mean, policy after policy is being delivered by the Trump administration. You’re against a secure border? You’re against no murders in Washington, D.C. for 12 straight days? You’re against carjackings going down 86% in Washington, D.C.? And they are. Make no mistake about it. They are against it all. I believe with all of my heart they want the murders, they want the carjackings, they want the crime, they want the chaos. That’s where they’re comfortable. Maybe they’re just miserable people, and they like misery. Perhaps they just want, you know, there’s people, I have people in my life who are like this. They’re not happy unless they’re unhappy. They’re perennially miserable. They’re always mad at the world. They’re always anxious. They’re always nasty and negative. I finally had to cut one of them out of my life recently because it was nothing but negativity, nothing but putting people down. It just weighs on you. It’s like a cancer. And sometimes you’ve got to cut the cancer out. But I know people like this. I know people who just… celebrate misery. That guy is happy being miserable. He’s not really upset about what he says is the fear that his neighbors have of getting shut out of their pickleball matches. No, he likes that. He wants the conflict. He wants the drama. There is no drama in having the National Guard help make communities safe. There wasn’t any drama when the New York governor, Kathy Hochul, did it in the New York subway system. When was that? Two years ago, guys? A year ago? Big fanfare. Look at me. I’m Kathy Hochul, the governor of New York. I’m ordering the National Guard to help patrol the subways to keep them safer. This was like after that woman got burned alive in the subway. Remember that? And Kathy Hochul said, I got an idea. Let me send in the troops. She sent in the troops. And there wasn’t one peep from the left. No Democrat complained about that. That’s a great thing. Way to go, Kathy Hochul. Thank you for helping to make… So Trump does the exact same thing in our nation’s capital? He’s a fascist. He’s a dictator. He’s a stormtrooper. Meet the former acting chief of the National Guard. This is the guy who used to be the head of the National Guard. Major General Randy Manor is his name. This is the guy who used to be the acting chief of the National Guard. On CNN last night, you’d think he’d be proud of the guard, right? You’d think he’d honor the brave men and women of the National Guard, helping to keep a community like Washington, D.C. safe, helping to lead to no murders in 12 days, plumbing carjacks. Oh, no, no, no, no. He thinks the National Guard, of which he apparently used to oversee, is the Gestapo.
SPEAKER 21 :
Essentially, what the president is doing through the secretary of defense is creating units, official military units to, quite frankly, guard or not guard, watch the American people. And that’s the thing that is absolutely abhorrent. It reminds me so much of what happened in Germany in the 1930s.
SPEAKER 19 :
1930s Germany, that’s today’s American National Guard. So says the Major General Randy Manor, former acting chief of the National Guard. Think about what the Guard was like under that guy. Think about how he ran the National Guard if he’s got such cynicism about what the National Guard represents. The Democrats… are demanding this damage. They demand more crime. They want more crime. They want more murders. Please prove me wrong. Please tell me what I’m missing here. Why wouldn’t Democrats embrace the help? Police unions are all saying, yeah, we could use the help. Heck yeah. You heard the head of the union in Washington, D.C. We’re overrun with crime. We need help. We need all the bodies we can get. We want to make our communities safer. So let me just put the question to you directly. Why do you think the Democrats don’t want their communities to be safer? It’s that simple. 800-655-MIKE. It’s a simple question. I hope you’ll have a simple answer. Why don’t Democrats want their cities to be safer? Why do they want more murders, more crimes, more carjackings, more kidnappings, more rapes, more killings? Why do they want that? What do you think is behind that?

The Mike Gallagher Show.
SPEAKER 02 :
The autopsy for the Democrats, some free political advice from the president of the United States is stop sounding like crazy people. That really is all it is. I mean, this idea that Gavin Newsom is somehow going to mimic Donald Trump’s style, I think that ignores the fundamental genius of President Trump’s political success, which is that he’s authentic. He just is who he is. You’ve got to be yourself. You’ve actually got to talk to people honestly about the issues. I don’t think it’s that complicated.
SPEAKER 18 :
Don’t be a crazy person. In the Relief Factor studios on Salem News Channel and Salem Radio Network, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 19 :
J.D. Vance’s message to the Democrats is just stop sounding so crazy. Stop being so crazy. Being against the police is crazy. Being against… The reduction of crime is crazy. Demanding more crime, essentially, is nuts. This is something that screwballs and kooks do. Now, I’m going to play this exchange for you. And we have it available on the MyPillow text line as well. We’ll send it out to you. I promise you this is not staged. I give you my word this isn’t AI. This was an actual interview. Even the left-leaning Joe Scarborough from MSNBC, even Morning Joe, seemed to be baffled and even shocked that the mayor of Chicago doesn’t recognize… The ability of police to combat crime in his dangerous, dangerous city. I saw this clip before the show today, and I was in a state of disbelief. I thought, this cannot be real. Sadly, it is.
SPEAKER 08 :
Would you also like to get federal funding to help put 5,000 more cops on the street in Chicago? Would that help drive down crime?
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, look, policing by itself is not the full strategy.
SPEAKER 08 :
I understand that you’ve talked about the other things you want. And I said those are good and important programs. But I’m asking also, would 5000 more police officers on the street in Chicago be helpful to go along with all of those social programs? And a lot of cities are engaging in and having success with.
SPEAKER 16 :
Look, here’s the best way I can put it, Joe, is that in the 90s when I was in high school, we had 3,000 more police officers and we had 900 people being murdered every single year in Chicago. It’s just not policing alone. Of course, we want more detectives.
SPEAKER 08 :
Of course. I know it’s not policing alone. I know it’s not policing alone. You’ve told me everything else you want. I’m curious, and this does come down to an ideological difference between people. Do you believe that the streets of Chicago would be safer if there were more uniformed police officers on the streets of Chicago?
SPEAKER 16 :
I believe the city of Chicago and cities across America would be safer if we actually had, you know, affordable housing.
SPEAKER 19 :
Can you imagine interviewing somebody and saying, look, do more police reduce crime? I believe affordable housing is the answer to your question. And this went on for like three more minutes. I can’t make you suffer through it anymore. If you want to suffer through it, we’ll send you back the entire clip. through the MyPillow text line, which is 800-655-6453. Just text the keyword crime to 800-655-6453. We’ll send you back that exchange. That unbelievable, that’s the mayor of Chicago. That guy’s not even an alderman or a city councilman. He’s the mayor. And you understand that Zoran Mamdani is that guy times 100. If you want to see that clip and hear the whole thing, if you can bear it, just text the keyword crime to 800-655-6453. Now, here’s Joan in New York City, who I understand is a Democrat, apparently, who disagrees with me, which we always want to put somebody who disagrees with me to the top of the line. Hey, Joan, how you doing today? Joan, you there? Hello. Hello, Joan. Speak now or forever hold your peace. Hello. Hi, Joan. How are you? Oh, I’m good. How are you? I’m great. Do you think more police would make New York City safer? I’m sorry. Can you repeat that? Do you think more police would make New York City safer? Yes. Okay. So why couldn’t Brandon Johnson answer that simply to Joe Scarborough when he was asked the same question? I’m not sure. Ah. Okay. Riveting. Thanks. Good to hear from you. 22 before the hour, Karen in Tinley Park, Illinois. Hi, Karen.
SPEAKER 10 :
Hi. How are you? Good. How are you? I’m pretty good. Good. First of all, I want to thank you for your show. We listen to you every day. You’re absolutely wonderful. Aw, thank you. We live on the southwest side of Chicago. Brandon Johnson is a disgraceful mayor. He shouldn’t even call himself that. We need the National Guard. We’re in the southwest suburb. We need the National Guard here. It’s a Band-Aid solution, but at least it’s a start.
SPEAKER 19 :
That’s exactly right. At least it’s a step in the right direction. But look, we’ve got real-world evidence that it helps. There hasn’t been a murder in Washington, D.C. in 12 days.
SPEAKER 10 :
Absolutely it works. And the problem is… He has tied the police officers’ hands together behind their back. They can’t do their job. It’s such a shame. I mean, we live in southwest suburbs. We don’t have the crime. We have great police officers here. We support them. But the city of Chicago, my gosh, they breathe wrong, and they’re on death duty.
SPEAKER 19 :
It’s insane. Karen, it’s and I and I really do feel so sad for folks like you and not and it’s not only your mayor, but your governor. Pritzker isn’t any better.
SPEAKER 10 :
Our governor is a disgrace to he sits on his high horse and his heated toilet seats. I mean, he’s another disgrace. We don’t even go to the city anymore because we’re afraid. I have people visiting from Pennsylvania this weekend and they want to go downtown. And I’m like, well, enter at your own risk.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah. And it doesn’t have to be that way, Karen. It just doesn’t. I appreciate your kind words. 20 before the hour. We have an open line. Eight hundred six five five. Mike, it’s just it’s it is a disgrace is the right word to use. It’s an absolute disgrace. Portions of the Mike Gallagher Show, sponsored by the Hotel Hartness, my home away from home in the upstate of South Carolina, travel and leisure’s world best, rates it the number one resort in the state, the third best resort in the United States, number 24 in the world. And it’s right in the upstate. You can stay there, too, just like I do. Go to hotelhartness.com, hotelhartness.com. Eric in Georgia. Eric, why do you suppose Democrats want more crime, not less? Why is this?
SPEAKER 20 :
It’s very simple. They have a plan. They’re very proactive. What they want to do is they want to let them run rampant. They want to let the city go to waste, and eventually they want to come in and gentrify the area and pretty much sell out the global interest and give you higher rents, give you crappy restaurants, et cetera, et cetera. They do it everywhere. They destroy cities, and they come in and gentrify them, and it’s a rental problem. culture they’re creating, keeping us, you know, as serfs.
SPEAKER 19 :
Yeah. The money has to be a part of it, Eric. There has to be. I mean, look, everybody knows that Chicago, not unlike New Orleans, these are cities famous for corruption. for Democrat corruption. And I suppose in the history of New Orleans, and I don’t know why I keep using them as an example, but the truth of the matter is there are cities that are notorious for their level of government corruption. Chicago, of course, has a history of that as well. And it has to be financial. There has to be a money component to this. There is just no… Other explanation, nothing makes sense. Normal people don’t want more crime. Democrats are on record. You just heard Brandon Johnson. On record, more crime. Affordable housing, we don’t want to lock people up. Got to be a reason behind it.
