SPEAKER 06 :
You know, we’ve got a lot of serious challenges facing America right now. We’ve got activist judges who are subverting the president. That’s a real constitutional crisis. We have Elon Musk stepping back from Doge, and of course the media is taking a victory lap because they think they’ve conquered him. More on that in just a moment. If I told you, though, that in Hennepin County, Minnesota, and I know I’ve been a dog with a bone on this story, forgive me for going back to this. But you know all about the Hennepin County attorney, Mary Moriarity, who’s in the middle of a huge firestorm of controversy because she’s refusing to press criminal charges against 33-year-old Dylan Adams. He’s a state employee who keyed, the police say, six Teslas committing over $20,000 worth of damage. Absolutely felony-level damage. Okay? She wants to put him in diversion. She doesn’t want him to be facing any criminal charges, because after all, he might lose his job, and we don’t want that. We want him to be a productive Democrat. We want him to be a proud, progressive member of society. That’s Mary Moriarity, herself a proud progressive. That’s her stance, okay? We get it. I’m sorry to go back to this story, but when I saw the case of another car vandal in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Once again, my head explodes. There’s a 19-year-old woman from Robbinsdale, Minnesota. That evidently is in Hennepin County. She has no criminal record. She allegedly got mad at a co-worker at a White Castle in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. She keyed her co-worker’s car into causing $7,000 worth of damage. She’s being charged with first-degree felony property damage. I’m reading here over at one of the news outlets in Minnesota, the Mankato Free Press, which says, when asked how Mary Moriarity could balance that charging decision with the decision to not charge the guy who keyed the Teslas, Moriarity didn’t directly respond. Huh. Isn’t that special? Isn’t that great? Mary Moriarity ought to be removed from office. These activist, progressive, lunatic prosecutors who are almost all in office because of George Soros’ money, because Soros wants to upend this country and destroy America by having Radical, crazy prosecutors refuse to prosecute people. This woman ought to step down today. And if you live in Hennepin County, Minnesota, you should be infuriated at this grotesque, double standard, weaponizing political violence against anybody that the left disagrees with. Mary Moriarity’s decision is to advocate political violence against the right. No other way to define it. I saw this case, this story on social media last night. I told Tracy when I came into work, I said, this can’t be true. There’s no way this proud, progressive district attorney, Mary Moriarity, is going to double down and refuse to prosecute the 33-year-old state worker, Dylan Adams, who the authorities say vandalized a half a dozen Teslas, causing over 20… You understand, cases around felony first-degree property damage are common and require more than $1,000 in estimated damage. $1,000! That’s a felony. This guy, the police say, committed 20 times that threshold. And Mary Moriarity doesn’t want to punish him. She doesn’t want to criminally charge him. Look, I’ll move on. I just had to get it off my chest. I want you to know, Minnesota, you’ve got a reprehensible attorney. who wants to charge a 19-year-old Robbinsdale woman with no criminal record with first-degree felony property damage because she’s charged with keying her co-worker’s car at the White Castle in Brooklyn Park, committing $7,000 of damage. That’s a fraction of the damage that this Dylan Bryan Adams clown is charged with committing. The feds better step in on this big time. It’s time for the Justice Department and Pam Bondi to get off their butts and come in and file federal charges against Dylan Bryan Adams. You’ve got to make an example out of this guy. Because if not, it’s going to keep happening. As long as lunatics on the left think they can get away… with terrorizing and intimidating and threatening and vandalizing their political opponent, it’s going to keep happening. It’s going to keep happening. There’s no way around it. It sickens me. It sickens me. And it aggravates me. Now, again, we’ve got a lot of breaking news today, but feel free, how do you feel, Minnesota, to know that there’s a 19-year-old who apparently or allegedly vandalized… Her co-worker’s car at the White Castle to the tune of $7,000. Oh yeah, she might go to the pokey. She’s facing serious jail time. First degree felony property damage. But not the guy who keyed all the Teslas. How much longer are we going to put up with this? Huh? How much longer is Pam Bondi… going to put up with this? How much more will the Justice Department tolerate? It better stop right here and right now with the case of 33-year-old Dylan Bryan Adams of Hennepin County, Minnesota. Let’s see if you disagree with me. Look, I hope you do. I’ll put you to the top of the line. Tell me where I’m wrong. Prove me wrong. 800-655-MIKE. We’re in the Relief Factor studios. Happy Friday, April 25th. Join us. Call or text. 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 06 :
Isn’t it wild how Democrats are often guilty of the same thing they accuse Republicans of being? Constitutional crisis. Trump has thrown us into a constitutional crisis. Well, there’s a constitutional crisis, all right, and it’s of their doing. Here’s a headline from townhall.com. Another day, another judge blocking Trump’s policies. This time, sanctuary cities. California judge, U.S. District Judge William Orrick issued an injunction against the White House that is blocking the Trump administration from from cutting federal funding to sanctuary cities. One judge in San Francisco thinks he can dictate federal policy for the United States of America. But this isn’t the only one. You want to know what’s happened in the last 24 hours alone? In the last 24 hours, A handful of rogue judges have blocked people who come to America illegally as unaccompanied minors from being deported. Another judge has ruled that illegals can vote. Even though the Constitution says only legal citizens can vote, a judge came along and said that the federal government cannot require voters to prove they’re citizens. Another judge ruled that Trump cannot stop funds from going to sanctuary cities like I told you. Another judge ruled that Trump can’t put federal grants and contracts on hold when schools and colleges discriminate against people based on race, I-E-D-E-I. And finally, a judge ruled that Trump must reinstate the leftist-controlled voice of America and rehire all the employees. Those are five actions in 24 hours. This is completely out of control, and it’s a real constitutional crisis. This is what a constitutional crisis looks like. A crisis of activist judges coming along and dictating to the federal government what it can and cannot do. It’s time that Congress steps up. Here’s Newt Gingrich yesterday. This is a clip I saw on X. We’ve got to get the former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, back on our show. It’s been too long since we’ve spoken to Newt Gingrich. Wise, a wise man, very smart guy. Here’s what he said needs to happen.
SPEAKER 01 :
There’s a great question from Incognito who asked why Congress isn’t doing more to deal with these district judges who seem so out of control. I can talk about that because I actually testified at a judiciary committee hearing in the House just yesterday. about a week ago, talking about the need to restrict district courts to local district decisions and not allow district court judges to make nationwide decisions that affect everybody as though they were an alternative president. I’m delighted to report that Congressman Darrell Issa actually passed a bill which would block district courts from having nationwide injunctions and instead limit them to their own district. It went through the House. Senator Grassley has a similar bill in the Senate. I suspect it’ll pass, and I suspect that President Trump will sign it. So Congress is moving to put district judges back in their district and not allow them to pretend that they’re alternative presidents.
SPEAKER 06 :
This is what these judges are doing, trying to pretend that they’re the president. Some stupid judge in D.C., oh, she says I’m the president now. This has got to stop. The great Scott Jennings weighed in on this on CNN last night.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, I think there’s a difference between saying whether you’re complying with the law and then you have these individual district court judges setting effectively broad federal policy that is specifically reserved for the president of the United States. I think we do have a constitutional crisis, and it’s being caused by these judges. They’re not here to tell us… They’re not here to tell us how to spend the money. They’re not here to set broad federal policy. That is the president’s job as elected by the people. These judges are supposed to be settling discrete, specific matters, not policy setting. I think Vance is right. I think Trump has a point. And these judges want nothing more to continue the law.
SPEAKER 08 :
I don’t think anybody’s going to be surprised to hear that you think Trump is right. However.
SPEAKER 12 :
I get it. You want individual federal judges who hate Donald Trump to tie him up for four years.
SPEAKER 11 :
No, I don’t.
SPEAKER 12 :
If you want a big policy question decided, let the Supreme Court do it. But in the interim, the executive has to be allowed to govern.
SPEAKER 06 :
Of course he’s right. And all this is are rogue activists who either masquerade as judges or prosecutors. Look at the case in Hennepin County, Minnesota again. Did you hear about the 19-year-old who keyed her co-worker’s car, according to the authorities? She caused only $7,000 worth of damage. What’s Mary Moriarity or Morarity or whatever her name is? Somebody just emailed the show and said that I’m mispronouncing this goofy activist attorney in Hennepin County, Minnesota’s name. Isn’t it Moriarity? Because somebody said I’m adding a syllable. M-O-R I don’t know if I’m saying her name wrong. Moriarty? It’s M-O-R-I-A-R-T-Y. Moriarty. Or Mor-E-R… Oh, no. Moriarty. Moriarty. Not Moriarty. So thank you for… Look, all I know is she ought to be gone. Because she can’t possibly excuse or defend charging a 19-year-old… With first-degree… This is a woman from Robbinsdale, Minnesota. Has no criminal record. She was charged with first-degree felony property damage this week after she allegedly keyed her co-worker’s car at the White Castle in Brooklyn Park. The damage to that car was $7,000. Now this guy, 33-year-old Dylan Adams… He was ordered into an adult diversion program rather than face any criminal charges after the police say he keyed six Teslas around Minneapolis, totaling more than $20,000 damage. Absolutely insane. So we’ve got people like her pretending to be fair and just. They’re anything but. We’ve got judges that are going rogue. and doing what they can to shut down the Trump agenda. What are we going to do about it? What’s going to happen? It better stop. This is why things like Trump 2028 make me a little crazy. I know you’re going to get mad at me for saying this. Do you get this whole Trump 2028 joke? I know it’s a troll. I know Trump is trolling people. I know it’s sort of, you know, Trump supporters get a kick out of it. My buddy Chris DeGaulle said, this makes me happy. What does? Alienating people? Making people all crazy? I guess I get making the left crazy. I want to make the left crazy for good reason. I want to make people who hate Trump and people who object to a secure border and a great economy and jobs and a strong national defense, I want to make them crazy because we’ve got better ideas. We’ve got better… We’ve got facts. We’ve got truth on our side. What in the Sam Hill is the point of pretending that Trump can run for a third term? He cannot. I don’t get this on any level. So go ahead, get out your pitchforks and your torches. Call me a rabid lefty. Call me a never-Trumper. And you know I’m not. Here is Dan Abrams on CNN saying that the Trump 20, if you haven’t seen it, now they’ve rolled out a line of Trump 2028 hats. And, you know, the left, as expected, melting down like the Wicked Witch, having a bucket of water thrown on her. Here was Dan Abrams’ take on this last night on CNN.
SPEAKER 03 :
They view it as getting the left wing angry. Right. And if they can get them incensed, Trump, did you see the Trump 28? That’s the service they provide. Can you imagine they put these hats, they see 28 on it. That’s what that helps. Right. Look at these crazy left wingers. They’re going crazy about the 2028 hats. Right. And that’s the goal.
SPEAKER 06 :
And to that extent, it works. Is he right? Is that the goal? Look, again, I want the left to go crazy because we have better ideas. Let the left freak out because our way is better for America. Let the left lose their minds over a bunch of common sense Americans banding together saying, here’s the better direction for our country. If you can give me one reason… why Trump 2028 merchandise is a good idea, I am all ears. If you can tell me how that advances the ball down the field, if you can tell me why that’s productive, if you can tell me why that’s helpful, look, I’m not the smartest guy in the room. I’ll admit it. Maybe I don’t understand it, and you’ll set me straight. Please do so at 800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453. Portions of our show brought to you by MyPillow and Big Deal. Two sales in one.

SPEAKER 06 :
We have a real crisis in America. We’ve now had five judges block five components of the Trump administration in just the last 24 hours. It’s out of control. It’s insane. We’ve got these runaway rogue justices, I put that in quotes, trying their best to usurp, to destroy, to upend the Trump agenda. And it better stop. Scott Jennings called this out last night on CNN, pointing out these judges who think that they can run the country Consider one lone activist judge sitting on the bench in some district in San Francisco or Washington, D.C., telling the federal government you’re not allowed to withhold federal funding from sanctuary cities. Obviously, one judge can’t do this. It’s going to tie it up until it makes its way to the Supreme Court, and God willing, the Supreme Court will… exercise common sense and strike these idiot judges down one by one with these rulings. Here was Scott Jennings last night on CNN.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, I think there’s a difference between saying whether you’re complying with the law and then you have these individual district court judges setting effectively broad federal policy that is specifically reserved for the president of the United States. I think we do have a constitutional crisis and it’s being caused by these judges. They’re not here to tell us. They’re not here to tell us how to spend the money.

SPEAKER 11 :
No, I don’t.
SPEAKER 12 :
If you want a big policy question decided, let the Supreme Court do it. But in the interim, the executive has to be allowed to govern.
SPEAKER 06 :
The executive has to be allowed to govern. Incidentally, did you notice how Abby Phillips, the host, when Scott said, we’re facing right now a constitutional crisis with these activist judges, she didn’t say… What do you mean by that, Scott? She said with great disdain, what are you talking about? Did you hear it? Did you notice it? She kind of says it under her breath a little bit, but you can hear it. Kristen, play the beginning again when Scott Jennings points out what an actual constitutional crisis is. And this is one. This is a constitutional crisis. These are judges, activists, rogue, radical judges. thinking, well, here’s how I’ll stop Trump from deporting illegals. I’ll block it from my little district in California. Listen to Abby Phillips dripping with sarcasm, disdain, and nastiness. What are you talking about? You have to listen closely, but you’ll hear it.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, I think there’s a difference between saying whether you’re complying with the law and then you have these individual district court judges setting effectively broad federal policy that is specifically reserved for the president of the United States. I think we do have a constitutional crisis, and it’s being caused by these judges. They’re not here to tell us how to spend the money. What are you talking about?
SPEAKER 06 :
There you go again, Scott. What do you possibly mean? It’s funny, I pick up on things like that largely because, unlike you, you listen on the radio or you’ve got speakers or you’re watching us on Salem News Channel. I have a thing in my ear that I swear some days goes into my brain. We call them IFBs. I forget what they’re short for. Interrupt, frequency, I don’t know. All I know is it is stuck in my head. My ear starts, but I can hear really good. So that thing, you know, I longed for the day when I used to wear a nice pair of comfortable earphones. Over on Fox News, The Five featured a nice knockdown drag out. I thought this would be fun to share with you between Greg Gutfeld and Jessica Tarloff. And by the way, I want to give you a heads up. You’re going to want to hear my conversation with a wonderful, wonderful listener. Her name is Joyce, and I shared with you how she emailed me on my birthday. I was out of the country. I was trying to pretend I didn’t really turn 65. I wanted to ignore it. I was feeling sorry for myself. I was a big, big baby. And I got an email from 99-year-old Joyce of Tryon, North Carolina. She said, Mike, I’m probably one of your oldest listeners. I’m 99 years old. I’m going to be 101. on November 26th. Well, Tracy couldn’t reach her. I asked Tracy to try to track her down, and she wasn’t responding to Tracy’s emails. So she called the show yesterday, and I finally got to meet Joyce. If you missed the call… Get ready because we’re going to play it for you coming up in just a few minutes. So get ready for my – look, it’s Friday. We’ve had another week. I’ve had a great week, actually. I’ve been in South Carolina hanging out with friends and family and just enjoying my time here, as I always do. But here we are. We made it to Friday, and I want you to hear the 99-year-old Mike Gallagher show listener and her outlook on life, and her reaction to my plan to throw her a birthday party for her 100th birthday on November 26th. I do. I want to have a big blowout party for Joyce. So, Joyce, be ready. November 26th, we’re going to celebrate your 100th on this planet. And she’s a lovely lady, delightful and funny and wonderful. She’s got an iPad. She’s texting me. I mean, she’s emailing me. She’s listening to the show on an iPad. 99 years young. So my chat with Joyce a little bit later this hour, trust me, you’re not going to want to miss it. It’s going to put a smile on your face, I promise. It’s going to warm your heart. Meanwhile, here’s Greg Gutfeld and Jessica Tarloff going at it over the mass deportations in America.
SPEAKER 13 :
I’m sorry, Jessica. I understand your concern, but I refuse to care about one person who is an illegal alien. The mental shelf space that I have is now reserved for victims of crime, which I’ve been talking about for years. This manufactured narrative, family man, father of three, coming from the media, who with the same intensity talked about having children, was bad for the climate, are now telling us that when you have children, you are now a pillar of the community. If that guy was a white American citizen, they would just call him a MAGA extremist. But he’s an illegal alien and he has kids, and now he’s the spirit of the community. He’s a good guy.
SPEAKER 09 :
But in addition to that, there are two courts that rule the attitude process.
SPEAKER 13 :
I don’t care about any of that.
SPEAKER 09 :
60 Minutes found that 75% of the people who have been sent to that prison do not have a criminal record here. Really? 60 Minutes went over and interviewed them? Yeah, actually they did and they actually spoke to the lawyers involved in these cases.
SPEAKER 06 :
60 Minutes found that 75% of illegals who’ve been deported don’t have a criminal record. So Jessica pretends that being in America illegally isn’t a crime. These people make me crazy. This is the kookiness of the left. It’s illegal to swim across the Rio Grande, set up shop, plant yourself in El Paso or Greenville, South Carolina, and live off the grid, off the radar, because you’re an illegal immigrant. It’s against the law. Most Americans, contrary to Jessica Tarloff’s beliefs, support Trump’s mass deportation. Look, it’s hard. It’s tough. It’s painful. But it’s necessary, thanks to the open border policies of the Democrats and the machine that have done so much damage to the United States of America. Welcome aboard. It’s Friday. We’re in the Relief Factor studios. Our number is 800-655-MIKE. I saw a clip, incidentally. CNN interviewed a reporter who’s been criticized for wearing a face mask in the Oval Office. I’ve got to play this because I’ve got to get this off my chest. I’m now at a point where the people who are wearing masks in public are making me a little crazy. And I’m wrong for feeling this way, but, hey, I feel the way I feel. We’ll share that and a whole lot more with you coming up. Our number, if you want to join us, is 800-655-MIKE. Call or text, one call, one number does it all. The MyPillow text line is open for you, 800-655-MIKE. If you want to just sound off in person, join me, 800-655-6453.

SPEAKER 05 :
Mike Gallagher. Every day, Mike visits with Mark Davis. Morning host on 660 AM, The Answer in Dallas. Here’s today’s Eminem experience.
SPEAKER 06 :
I told you about the lady who wrote me who’s 99 years young. And she thinks she’s my oldest listener. She lives in Tryon, North Carolina. Her name is Joyce. And I’m running with your idea because her birthday is November 26th. She’s going to be 100. We couldn’t track her down. We kept trying to email her because I wanted to connect to her. We’ve got to do something for her. Well, guess what? She called the show yesterday. Get out. And she is as spry. And look, she’s more agile than you are.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, as we said during Biden, it’s not about the number. Look at Charles Grassley. Look at this lady. Look at all kinds of people.
SPEAKER 06 :
She opined about World War II. She said, look, I’ve lived through. I mean, she was born in 1925. And she said… She’s 16. She had just turned 16 for Pearl Harbor. For Pearl Harbor. Think about this. So anyway, I want to plan a birthday party for her. That’s your idea, by the way. I’m giving you all the credit for it. Thank you so much. I think we ought to get way behind that. And come November 26th, we need to have a 100th birthday party celebration for Joyce in Tryon, North Carolina. So more to come.
SPEAKER 01 :
I think that would be awesome.
SPEAKER 06 :
Wouldn’t that be fun? I mean, and you were right. We should do something. But she called. She said, look, I stay up late and I sleep late. She goes, I listen to you on the iPad. I thought the iPad, 99 years old, she’s emailing, she’s texting, she’s calling, she’s on her iPad, and she’s 90. And it all started because she wrote me and basically told me to suck it up and stop whining about turning 65. Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
I mean, there you go, 65. She could be my mom.
SPEAKER 06 :
She could be my mother. And so in a way, she is. So the Mike Gallagher Show is officially adopting Joyce from Tryon, North Carolina. So more to come on that.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, if you haven’t already, you know, what do you always do when somebody is about to be a centenarian, about to turn 100? You always ask them, what are the secrets? What are the secrets? And invariably, the answers are things that we think are bad for us. Well, I do a shot of whiskey every day or, you know, not smoke a bag of cigarettes or anything. But, you know. I like fried chicken, things like that. So all our metabolisms are different. You never know. Whatever her secret is, good for her. Well, she told me.
SPEAKER 06 :
She told me what it is. What? Two things. She goes, it’s my faith and my optimism. She goes, I stay optimistic. I stay positive. And I have a deep faith in the Lord. And she goes, that’s why I’m here. And I just, you know, that was it. She said that people ask me that all the time.
SPEAKER 07 :
And you know what that does? Because more positives, fewer negatives. And when you have faith and when you have optimism, do you know what that helps to counteract, which is one of the most toxic things anybody can have in your life? Stress. Stress is the new smoking. Stress is cancer. Stress will kill you. It will make you sick. And if you have things that you can look inward or look outward with faith and optimism, that is a stress reducer and will help you in a hundred different ways. Amen.
SPEAKER 06 :
So I texted you the latest online craze, the Trump 2028 red hats.
SPEAKER 07 :
I saw him showing. Did he have Laura Ingram in the Oval Office or something and pull this curtain back? And there’s a big Trump 2028 frame ready to go. You go first.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, our buddy Chris DeGaulle retweeted Jessica Tarloff from The Five because they’re all freaking out about Trump running for a third term. They’re all losing their marbles over it. And Jessica Tarloff said, this is disgraceful, it’s awful. And then Chris DeGaulle reposted Jessica and Chris simply wrote, I love this. This makes me happy. This makes me happy.
SPEAKER 07 :
Jessica’s words and the timing is great because we talked a lot about the five this week. And she is, of course, wrong about everything. But I find her to be a sweet lady. And, you know, they like her. And there seems to be goodwill, which, of course, followed a 50 text. I can’t. I can never watch what she’s on. And now here she is. Here’s exactly here’s what you’re talking about. She says everyone will say Trump is just joking or that he is trolling. That may be true. But with each joke, it becomes more and more serious until we’re actually confronting a man that feels emboldened to try to run for a third term. I’ve made a decision, Mike. There will be no third term. He’s totally trolling. He’s totally enjoying the people whom he inflames. There was a little voice in me as recently as last week that said, sir, just stop it. Don’t do anything that repels anybody or freaks anybody out. I’ve decided I’m going to stop lecturing Trump about anything. No one cares. Doesn’t matter. This is not going to be a thing. He’s just having a good time here and enjoying the people whose hair is on fire. And I’m just going to sit back and enjoy it with him.
SPEAKER 06 :
That sounds smart. I want to be with you. I really do. But on the other hand, I have the same little voice in my head saying, what exactly is the purpose here? What’s the point? Look, he’s facing so many real challenges. We’ve got some serious… serious stuff. There is a real constitutional crisis going on. And it’s these rogue judges who are stopping every aspect of his presidency. The Senate needs to step in. Congress, I mean, it’s a huge crisis. Did you see, I mean, another day, another judge blocking Trump’s policies. Yesterday, there were two of them. DEI was one of them. And federal funding for the sanctuary cities. A lone Obama-appointed judge thinks he or she can come along and And shut down the things that Biden initiated. And Trump’s trying to clean up the mess. Yes. Making people on the sidelines who are not plugged in the way you and I are. Not even as plugged in the way our audience is. They are people just kind of observing it all. And they’re saying, boy, that doesn’t seem right that the judges can stop him from doing that. And then they come along and say, oh, Trump’s going to run for a third term.
SPEAKER 07 :
People say that’s not helpful. It’s wrong. It’s not helpful as role reversal Friday. You’re going to talk me back into my semi-funk about this. But what’s the point? It’s okay. Own the libs? There is no point. Sometimes there is no point. There doesn’t have to be a point to everything. Well, there has to. What’s the reason for it? It’s going to be hard for me to defend it because it’s dumb and it’s counterproductive. Well, then don’t do it. I know. And that would be my part. I hear Mike Gallagher in my head over the years saying, don’t get so overly worked up over over goofy stuff. Trump does every once in a while when he’s just having fun with.
SPEAKER 06 :
But normally, I know why he does what he does. Ordinarily, there’s a method to it. A lot of times, he’s almost always right. He’s got such good instinct.
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s about some instinct or some principle.
SPEAKER 06 :
And this one is just… Driving people crazy. It’s dumb. And I will tell you, the Mark Davis in my head is right. Let’s not get all, you know, wrapped around the spokes on it and get distracted because we’ve got some serious, serious problems.
SPEAKER 07 :
And you’re also right. But here’s why you’re totally right. It’s not nothing because these are the right now. We’re at 100 days of Trump right now. Right at just about exactly 100 days. Yeah. And he every day he’s got to be about winning over every human being that he can for the midterms, for his legacy, for his success. There’s a logic that says don’t do anything that needlessly keyword needlessly sends people away. The tariffs have some people freaking out. But he says, listen, there’s a reason for the tariffs. Ride with me here and I’ll show you how it’s going to work out. That’s right. Third term Trump 2028 ridiculousness needlessly makes people who might not be paying a whole lot of attention go. You can’t run for a third term. That’s kind of dumb. Maybe you need to vote Democrat. Now, even if that’s a fraction of one percent, it’s not it’s it’s not it’s not nothing.
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s not nothing. And see and see, here’s the here’s the thing that I think really does matter. And and and when when he’s got all facing all of these challenges and don’t look now, but he’s underwater in polling. Let’s just be blunt here.
SPEAKER 07 :
It is not February anymore.
SPEAKER 06 :
You could say we don’t really trust the polls. The only area he’s okay on in polling, frankly, is illegal immigration. There’s some real-world stuff going on where people are kind of holding their collective breath. Let’s not necessarily kick the bear here.
