SPEAKER 02 :
The Mike Gallagher Show. We will put America first. We will bring peace through strength. And the three principles I talked about are what we will bring to that Pentagon. Restore the warrior ethos in everything that we do. Rebuild our military. and reestablish deterrence. We don’t want to fight wars. We want to deter them, as you said, and we want to end them responsibly. But if we need to fight them, we’re going to bring overwhelming and decisive force to close with and destroy the enemy and bring our boys.
SPEAKER 11 :
In the relieffactor.com studios, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 09 :
Tons of reaction to Kathy from Louisville. I tell you what, I should start every day with a caller like her. And then I just sit back and let all the texts come in and all the feedback. And it’s good to hear their side. I don’t think we ought to ignore these women that are crying in their videos. What was her? Selena Gomez. I’ll bet you Kathy was crying along with Selena, right? I’ll guarantee you. Kathy wept right along with her. Oh, what’s happening with my people? They’re actually enforcing the law. We can’t do that. We’re Democrats. Check out a lot of the text messages. And I’ve got a big announcement from MyPillow, incidentally, which I’m excited to share with you in just a moment. But first, from San Antonio, her first lie to your screener was that her name was Kathy, not Karen. Now, look, I don’t mind Karen calling the manager. If Kathy in Louisville wants to call and complain to the manager, I’m here for her. I really am. Ohio, Dayton, Ohio. So Caroline Kennedy’s only upset because RFK Jr. teamed up with Trump to make America healthy. And she’s against making America healthy. There’s no honor amongst family anymore. Not in that family. She’s disgusting, and it’s not going to work. See, that’s the part that makes the Kathys of the world frustrated. It’s not working anymore. The cancel culture, the hysteria, none of that’s working. Tampa, Florida. Kathy is an independent about as much as Bernie Sanders is. And here’s a… Fellow Louisville resident, one of your neighbors, Kathy Lance in Louisville, says, Mike, I’m blown away at how people like Kathy will side with the Democrats and leftists no matter what. It’s a cult. Facts don’t matter to them. They go off feelings. No law, no borders, no reason. And, you know, you can hear it with Kathy’s arguments. Oh, I know that he’s bad. I read it in the National Enquirer. He’s mean. He’s bad. He used to be an addict. Oh, really? How about a little compassion, Kathy, for a guy that… And they did the same thing to Pete Hegseth. I don’t doubt that Pete Hegseth and Bobby Kennedy have had difficult, rocky pasts. Ever heard of redemption? Ever heard of… finding the Lord like Pete Hegseth did? Ever hear of being able to make a difference in a positive way after you’ve been down a rocky, rough road? And then finally, here’s a text about Kathy’s call, and then we’ve got lots to cover today, and we’re going to take you to D.C., The first 100 days are off and running. We are off to the races with the new Trump administration, and I’m here for all of it. I love it, and I’m glad you’re with us as well. Columbus, Ohio. Maybe Kathy should talk about the $50 million of taxpayer money Biden and Harris used to send condoms to Gaza. Maybe she could focus on that as she rants and raves. Well, you know, I saw this story yesterday. This was amazing. I thought 50 million. Caroline Leavitt, in her debut as the White House press secretary in the press briefing room, revealed an expenditure that Doge and the Trump administration is weeding out. And they are absolutely focused like a laser on cutting out All of the graft and the extra money and the layers and layers. They’re offering a big buyout now to the federal workers, saving us billions of dollars. This is going to be a whole new era. You think Trump wanted to upset the apple cart first time around? You think he was a disruptor in 2017? Hey, Kathy, you ain’t seen nothing yet. And so I thought, here was what Caroline Levitt said. Now, let this sink in. We would send $50 million of taxpayer money for condoms in Gaza? Here’s what Caroline Levitt said yesterday.
SPEAKER 13 :
this pause with so little notice? Why not give organizations more time to plan for the fact that they are about to lose, in some cases, really crucial federal funding, at least for a period of time?
SPEAKER 01 :
There was notice. It was the executive order that the president signed. There’s also a freeze on hiring, as you know, a regulatory freeze. And there’s also a freeze on foreign aid. And this is, again, incredibly important to ensure that this administration is taking into consideration how hard the American people are working. And their tax dollars actually matter to this administration. You know, just during this pause, DOGE and OMB have actually found that there was $37 million that was about to go out the door to the World Health Organization, which is an organization, as you all know, that President Trump, with the swipe of his pen in that executive order, is no longer wants the United States to be a part of. So that wouldn’t be in line with the president’s agenda. Doge and OMB also found that there was about to be 50 million taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in Gaza. That is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money. So that’s what this pause is
SPEAKER 09 :
As soon as she said that, of course, I’m watching that. I got the proverbial popcorn out to watch that whole press conference. She was 27 years old, and she was splendid. No nonsense, take them all on, know them by name. And incidentally, she said all that without a giant fat binder filled with talking points that that pathetic Corinne Jean-Pierre needed in order to be press secretary. None of that for Caroline Leavitt. So I saw a headline over at Mediaite. Mediaite is, of course, a leftist, Trump-hating website that follows the media and politics and everything. And Mediaite’s headline was, Andrew Miller dismisses Caroline Leavitt’s claim about condoms in Gaza. And I thought, wow, well, maybe it isn’t true. Maybe it’s not as bad as it seems. And this guy writes, Michael Luciano, writes a column at Mediaite saying, one former Biden administration official says the claim is a feverish dream. Caroline Leavitt said that Doge discovered that tens of millions of dollars had been earmarked for condoms in Gaza. Around the time of Levitt’s remarks, Fox News Digital cited an unnamed White House official who told the outlet that as part of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s freeze on foreign aid, $50 million had been slated to purchase condoms for Gaza, and that had been held up. Conservative media had a field day, shrieks mediaite. Many right-wing outlets ran with the claim, like it was completely false, right? Jesse Waters, Laura Ingraham… News Nation, Leland Vittert, a former Fox News host, indignantly repeated Levitt’s claim. How could you not be indignant over $50 million for Levitt? But wait, it gets better. Mediaite to the rescue. They cite Andrew Miller, who was a deputy assistant secretary for Israeli-Palestinian affairs. He said this is all a feverish dream. Now, are you ready? Here’s his defense. It’s possible, he told the Times of Israel, that $50 million was put aside for sexual health or something of that nature, which would include gynecology and many other services, but definitely not condoms alone. They think the explanation is better than the actual accusation. Oh, okay. So it’s not just for condoms. It’s also for gynecology condoms. and sexual health. Okay, Mediaite, you got us. You got us evil, awful, right-wing media types. We’re indignant that American taxpayer dollars would be used to support gynecological services and sexual health in Gaza, which apparently includes condoms. But look, it’s a feverish dream to say it’s only for condoms. It’s only partially for condoms. The rest is for gynecology. Don’t you feel better now? Gosh, I’m glad we got the mainstream media to sort things out and sort out the chaos. The chaos from the Trump administration. You can’t make this crap up, can you? 17 before the hour, 800-655-MIKE. I mentioned my pillow a minute ago. Boy, do I have a big reminder that comes right from Mike Lindell himself. We’ll also go back to your phone calls, I promise. 800-655-MIKE. Call or text. Gynecology. Oh, okay. Well, that’s better. As long as it’s gynecology, I’m all right with that. Send it to the Palestinians and the terrorists and all the people who hate us in Gaza. I’m relieved now, aren’t you? Wow. What a time to be alive. 800-655-MIKE.
SPEAKER 03 :

SPEAKER 11 :
He’s the happy conservative warrior. From the Relief Factor studios, here’s Mike Geller.
SPEAKER 09 :
News on this Wednesday, the RFK Jr. confirmation hearing for Health and Human Services Secretary is underway. We’ll take you to Capitol Hill where he is about to give an opening statement. We’ll carry that for you here on the Mike Gallagher Show. You’re not going to want to miss any of this. This comes a day after his frankly, deranged sister, went on this vicious attack against her cousin, claiming he’s a predator, saying he’s not fit for the job. Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg emerged from her relatively low profile to come out swinging and to do everything she can to block him, just like they tried to do with Pete Hegseth. They made every effort. Remember the former sister-in-law smeared him? They don’t have a lot left. They’re running out of cards up their sleeve. Every day seems to be better than the day before. Yesterday, Caroline Leavitt held a press conference saying, In the White House press briefing room, it was her first one. Boy, was she good. My goodness, was she strong. No big fat binder full of talking points and a cheat sheet. She knew all the reporters by name. She’s 27 years old. I think she’s the youngest press secretary in the White House ever. But Trump is surrounding himself with people who are going to get it done. And I don’t know what’s going to happen with RFK Jr., I know that the bitterness and the ugliness of some of his family members doing their best to block this from happening might just backfire. I don’t know. Who knows what Mitch McConnell’s going to do this round? Look, already count Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski out, right? Their no’s. How many other senators will vote no against RFK Jr.? Time will tell. But what a time we’re living in right now. It feels as if the cancel culture, woke mindset is evaporating. They’re getting defeated. They’re losing. And it’s kind of glorious to watch. I mean, we’re living in a time, and there are still bursts of it, Did you see Captain America? The guy playing Captain America said at a panel discussion, to me, Captain America represents a lot of things, and America isn’t one of them. I kid you not. I’m not making this up. The guy who’s been given the privilege of a lifetime, to make gazillions of dollars to play Captain America, and happens to be a black guy because, you know, diversity, he says to me, Captain America represents a lot of things, but America isn’t one of them. Now, you think I’m having a stroke, right? You think I came into work drunk. Christian’s going to pull the clip for me, so you’ll be able to actually hear it. Because you can’t believe it. Yesterday I saw Caroline Leavitt report that we’ve designated, under the Biden administration, $50 million for condoms to Gaza. And I’m thinking, what in the world? Who’s in favor of American taxpayer dollars funding condoms for Gaza? And then I saw a headline this morning over at Mediaite, which of course always gives the Democrats cover. They hate conservatives. They hate Trump. And Mediaite has a headline. A former Biden administration official says the claim… that we’ve earmarked $50 million for condoms for Gaza is a feverish dream. I thought, oh, well, maybe it was false. Wait till you hear the explanation. According to Andrew Miller, the former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Israeli-Palestinian Affairs in the Biden administration, who called what Caroline Leavitt said about $50 million for condoms a feverish dream, here’s what he said. Quote, it’s possible that $50 million was put aside for sexual health or something of that nature, which would include gynecology and many other services, but definitely not condoms alone. Now, he thought that was a good explanation. Like the American people would be any… more satisfied with our tax dollars funding gynecological services for women in Gaza. Like, that’s better. Oh, it’s not just condoms. That’s a feverish dream. and then proceeds to defend it by saying, oh, it’s for other things, sexual services, sexual health care services, gynecological. Oh, okay. Sure, I want my tax dollars to give a Palestinian woman living in Gaza a gynecological exam. These people are nuts. I’m telling you, these people are stone cold bat crap crazy. And I’m telling you, the crazy is being eliminated in this country. The woke mindset, the cancel culture, the craziness of open borders, the insanity of handing out free syringes to drug users, and all the nutty things that the left likes to do. It’s evaporating. And it’s been a week and a half. We’re not even in the second full, we’re halfway through the second week of the Trump presidency. So it’s a great thing to witness. It’s such a joy to come to work every day because finally their insanity is being called out. It’s 13 past the hour, Wednesday, January 29th. Coming up, RFK Jr.’ ‘s opening statement before the Senate confirmation hearing. For HHS Secretary, we also want you to join us. Call or text. One phone number gets you to everything.

SPEAKER 09 :
I met a lady in the supermarket a few weeks ago. I was in the Publix over in St. Petersburg. A nice lady came up to me and said, oh, I watch you every day on Salem News Channel. Big fan. And she said, you know what I love is when you say they’re nuts. They’re just crazy. And she said that those two words sum up today’s Democrat campaign. media mob machine as well as anything. Because it’s true. They’re nuts. Christian, my video producer, just found a post on X where they were able to look over the shoulder of one of the reporters covering today’s RFK Jr. hearing. The reporter had already written the negative anti-RFK Jr. headlines before the confirmation hearing even started. They took a shot over the reporter’s shoulder, and she had already written the headline and the article. And it said, RFK Jr. faces grilling on, quote, anti-vaccine comments, unquote, and animal mutilation at confirmation hearing Trump live updates. I can’t see the writer. Can you see who the writer is on that? Is there a byline, Christian? Because the world ought to know. I mean, they’re crazy. They’re going to do everything they can, and you don’t despise the legacy media enough. You don’t despise Hollywood enough. You know, I appreciate the motion picture industry. I often say we don’t appreciate enough how wonderful movies can be. But the woke crowd has infected show business like nothing I’ve ever seen. I mean, it’s like theater. I know a lot of people in the theater world, and there’s lots of conservatives. They’re very quiet about it because they don’t want to be destroyed by the woke mob. There are people that make tons of money on Broadway and for national tours being the diversity, equity, and inclusion officers. And these are people that have come up with a nice little scam. We’ll be essentially your HR. And these are always people of color. And we’re going to show you how to be diverse. And you’re going to pay us $50,000, $100,000 a month per show. And these people are raking it in. Because of the, again, they’re nuts. Theater is nuts. Hollywood is nuts. You disagree with me? There’s a young African-American man who’s playing Captain America in the next iteration of that Marvel series, right? Marvel Studios series. Captain America, right? Guy’s name, I think, is Anthony Mackie. And, you know, you could go into the whole thing about, oh, yeah, make sure they have a black Captain America this time. I don’t care if he’s black or white or green. Who cares? But he’s a black guy playing Captain America. I thought Captain America was white. But then again, back to wokeness in show business, you can’t be white and play George Washington on Broadway in Hamilton. Not allowed. Whites need not audition. You’re not allowed to be white and be any of the founding fathers in the Broadway hit Hamilton, which is just astounding to me. I mean, they’re open about it. They say, oh, it’s diversity, diversity, equity, inclusion. No whites could be in this show. They could be in the chorus. They can be in the ensemble. Some of the dancers in the background, they can be white, but not Thomas Jefferson, not Aaron Burr, not Alexander Hamilton. They’ve all got to be people of color. That’s the requirement on Broadway. I mean, it’s stated in the notes, in the audition notes. Check out what the new Captain America believes about his character. He was on a panel discussion somewhere this week, and here you go.
SPEAKER 06 :
For me, Captain America represents a lot of different things, and I don’t think the term, you know, America should be one of those representations. Did you hear that?
SPEAKER 09 :
Did you get that? It’s a little hard to hear the audio. Can we play that one more time, Christian? Once more with feeling. Here’s Captain America stating that it means a lot of things, but America shouldn’t be one of them. Captain America, here he is.
SPEAKER 06 :
For me, Captain America represents a lot of different things, and I don’t think the term, you know, America should be one of those representations.
SPEAKER 09 :
Right, got it, got it. Not America in Captain America. He should be Captain Ukraine. Now, Captain Ukraine, that’s a superhero right there. Captain Ukraine sweeps over tall buildings, obliterates the Russian army with one fell swoop, thanks to a lot of taxpayer dollars from the United States. Now, that’s a movie that we can get our arms around. Holy cow. They’re nuts. Now, some would accuse our next guest of being a little batty. He believes that his client was discriminated against because the nearly 500-pound woman was denied a ride in the back of a Lyft vehicle. That attorney, good guy. We’ve interviewed him before. He joins us next.
SPEAKER 03 :
And we’ll solve it all.
SPEAKER 09 :

SPEAKER 09 :
You first met attorney John Marco a few months ago when we shared a very good story how he represented a woman who was fired from her job because she was working remotely but wouldn’t take the COVID vax. Good guy. John Marco is about to join us, an attorney based in Detroit, Michigan. Now, though, he’s representing a client of a very different nature, a woman who Nearly 500 pounds whose feelings were hurt and felt discriminated against because she wasn’t given a ride in a rideshare vehicle called Lyft. Here’s the report from a local affiliate in Detroit.
SPEAKER 08 :
Jim Blanding tells us she was just trying to get to a Detroit Lions watch party this month when her Lyft rolled up.
SPEAKER 07 :
As I’m walking, I see him, like, making faces or whatever. I’m like, oh, man. She already knew. I can fit in this car. Believe me, you can. Yes, I can. Believe me. He told her there’s not enough room in his car. The kicker part was when he started to talk about his tires. You know, I feel like that was a slap in the face. That was like my tires, you know, like.
SPEAKER 08 :
The driver said his tires could not handle her weight. Every big person, you turn down because they can’t fit in your car?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, because they need support.
SPEAKER 08 :
He apologized, canceled the ride, and left her there. The rapper says she’s pretty tough. Dank DeMoss, as she’s known at the mic, is crushed by the whole situation.
SPEAKER 07 :
I just want them to know, like,
SPEAKER 08 :
It really hurt my feelings. It looks like a lift might be hurting pretty soon, too.
SPEAKER 05 :
I knew it was illegal and I knew that it was wrong.
SPEAKER 08 :
Her attorneys, John Marco and Zach Runyon, say weight is a protected characteristic in Michigan by law.
SPEAKER 05 :
It would be no different than a driver pulling up and saying. You know, I don’t want to have black people in my car. I don’t want to have Christians in my car or Muslims in my car. It’s the same under the law. It’s the same.
SPEAKER 08 :
The lawsuit is filed since she posted the encounter on social media. Other full figured folks have reached out saying the same thing happened to them.
SPEAKER 09 :
Now, again, John Marco is the guy you want in your corner. I mean, his nickname is Million Dollar Marco. He’s got a very successful podcast, and he’s that lawyer quoted in the piece. Let’s welcome back to the Mike Gallagher Show, principal attorney and founder of Marco Law in Detroit. Counselor, welcome back. Now, you know I can only get in trouble over this segment. Nothing good will come from this. Nothing good.
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s good to see you.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s good to see you as well. I mean, I don’t want to fat shame your client, but she’s nearly 500 pounds. What was the size of the vehicle? Because you couldn’t really tell from her video. It looked to me like a Camry or a Toyota, right? A Corolla? No, it was a Mercedes.
SPEAKER 05 :
It was a large Mercedes. You know, these Mercedes have those big back seats. And Mike, I got to tell you, look, I was a little surprised when the story came out that my client has received kind of a lot of negative pushback on this, which as an attorney that does, I was kind of surprised because I didn’t expect… This to receive such a negative backlash because it’s not just about her. But since this has come out, I’ve received calls from other people. I have a video, for example, of an 82 year old elderly woman who called an Uber to doctors to get help. And she had a walker, Mike, so she’s walking out, trying to get into the Uber. And when the Uber driver saw that she had a walker, he didn’t want to deal with it, so he sped off, and she didn’t make her doctor’s appointment.
SPEAKER 03 :
Wow.
SPEAKER 05 :
And so, I mean, I get your viewers, and we can take a look at this and say, you know, we can laugh at it or say that… that this negative backlash. But this isn’t just for her. It’s for everybody. I mean, Mike, what if you try to get an Uber and they said, you know what, I don’t pick up white people?
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, and of course, I don’t have a choice about my race. I have no choice of my skin color. Maybe maybe Dank DeMoss doesn’t have choice over her weight. Maybe she’s got a glandular situation or thyroid. But, you know, I get your point about weight being a protected thing. You know, class, I guess, in Michigan, you cite the law. But I keep thinking about all the pragmatic issues that people who are overweight or, in this case, morbidly obese, face, like getting on an airplane. And there’s a whole debate about that. And I thought about that, too. Is the airline required to give a 489-passenger three seats? Give them the whole row because she surely can’t fit into a regular seat on an airplane.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, Mike, that’s a great point. If this was a Delta Airlines case, Delta, we got a big hub out of Detroit. I wouldn’t have touched this case at all. And I would have said, I’m sorry, but that’s different because on a Delta flight, you know, you pay for the seat and you’re going to inconvenience or prevent other people from being able to fly where you’re encroaching on other people’s rights. Right. In this particular case, the… Look, if she literally couldn’t fit in the vehicle, like she literally couldn’t fit in the door, then I wouldn’t bring this case either. But in this case, she had been in these types of vehicles before. She wasn’t encroaching on anyone other’s rights. other than the driver said, I just don’t want to take a big woman in my car.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, but John, now come on, now come on. Now, John, you know that he didn’t just say, well, I just don’t want to take you. He clearly had a legitimate concern that a 500, nearly 500 pound woman was going to be rough on maybe the car, the vehicle, the suspension. I mean, you don’t think he, why else would he have turned her away if not for her weight?
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, he did turn away from her weight. But, okay, let’s say he picked up three people in an Uber. Look, a 500-pound woman is not going to break a Mercedes C-Class. No, you’re right. You’re right. You’re right, of course. I mean, you pick up three people. I go with my friends down to the Detroit Lions, who unfortunately aren’t going to make it this year. But I get an Uber. We load in. We load in three people, and we each weigh close to 200. That’s 600 pounds right there. John Marco is our guest.
SPEAKER 09 :
He’s the founder of Marco Law out of Detroit. We’re talking about this case of this woman. Incidentally, what happened? I want to ask you what you want because you’re suing. What do you want from Lyft, which is, of course, the company that is under the umbrella for the ride share? But first of all, what happened to the driver?
SPEAKER 05 :
Nothing as far as we can tell. Nothing has happened to the driver. We want an apology from Lyft. And look, we just want them to implement policies so this doesn’t happen to anyone. And not just because of your weight, but because of the other things I told you. If your grandma needs to go to the doctor’s, You need to be rest assured that if they call a business that they’re not going to violate that person’s rights. Or, you know, if you’re coming out of church with a cross hanging off your chest and, you know, you want to go to the church or whatever, that you’re not going to be discriminated there at all either. We’re just asking for equal policies for equal protection.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, you know, look, it’s a fascinating case, and I always appreciate you popping on the show. And again, I just heard my producer just told me about your podcast. Is the podcast called Cases Gone Wild?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, it’s cases gone wild, Mike. And it’s just about some of the cases. I love to sit and have a beer with my lawyer friends. I love the law and talk about, you know, these crazy cases that we’re handling, like the one I’m talking to you about. This is one of them.
SPEAKER 09 :
This is one of them. But look, everybody’s entitled to a legal representation, and it’s a tough issue. And honestly, I’m not just saying this to blow smoke in your ear. You’re one of my favorite common-sense voices that we’ve talked to over the years. You make a lot of sense. You’re obviously very successful. And look, I may turn to you. If somebody gives me the flu because I’m a hypochondriac, I’m going to have you sue on my behalf because the person next to me on the airplane made me sick. All right. John Marco. Check out his podcast and come back again and visit with us. John Marco from Marco Law in Detroit, Michigan, representing Dank DeMoss, who, you know, a lot of people are texting me saying, John has a point. If two 230-pound people got in the back of an Uber or a Lyft, that wouldn’t be a problem. So why does one 489-woman cause a problem? It’s a good conversation starter, eh?

SPEAKER 11 :
Mike Gallagher. Every day Mike visits with Mark Davis. Morning host on 660 AM The Answer in Dallas. Here’s today’s M&M experience.
SPEAKER 09 :
History is being made today. Really? Yes, we’re streaming the Eminem Experience, the Mark Davis, Mike Gallagher morning visit, live on X at Gallagher Show. And they see our happy faces talking to each other. And for people just watching for the first time, this segment, how many years have we done this now?
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, I walked into this room 12 years ago, 13 years ago in June. OK, and what’s funny, the history is is kind of interesting because it just kind of made sense. We knew each other sort of kind of right. And your show came on right after mine immediately. And so we thought I think we kind of gave birth to this. Why don’t you pop on? Give us a couple of things you’re going to talk about and it’ll be a nice plug for your show. And Mike, for maybe I don’t know how long might have been a year. The segment lasted about a minute or two or three. Can you believe that? Us restrained to that kind of time? And then I think it got to be about we’re having so much fun. I said, man, let’s fat mess up to about, you know, four or five. Now it’s pretty well the entire half hour from 730 to 8 because doggone it, America wants more.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, and again, for people new to this on X, and this is pretty fun. I mean, I just started streaming my show on X a week or two ago, and we get a couple thousand, few thousand people watching and listening. It’s kind of fun. It’s because a lot of people are on X now religiously. Now, for new members of our audience on X, Mark Davis is… is a legendary talk show host in Texas. You’ve been in the market for decades. And the big boys, you know, you got too big for them. So you parted ways with the other talk station and 660 AM The Answer wisely snatched you up, like you said, 12 or 13 years ago. But but this segment, which we’ve now christened the Eminem experience, has become a real fan favorite. People really love. I mean, I hear all the time. I’ll bet once a week I’ll get a note from somebody who says, I literally sit in the car before I go into work to hear you and Mark. I love something about this. It’s just and it’s all organic. We didn’t really intend it to be this way. Like you said, it started out organic. a minute or two plug for my show, and then we enjoy each other so much we’ve become fast friends. And, you know, you and Lisa and Ethan and I, we’ve traveled to Guatemala for Food for the Poor together. I continually try to talk you into taking cruises with us to Alaska or somewhere. Not probably going to happen, but I try. But this has just become a real joyful experience, and so I just drive it into work today. I called the team, and I said, guys, can we not put this thing up live on X? And they said, sure, why not?
SPEAKER 10 :
I’m looking at it right now. I guess just a handful of seconds of just a smidge of delay, but that’s okay. Who cares? It’s pretty live.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s close.
SPEAKER 10 :
At Gallagher Show on X. At Gallagher Show on X. Mike and Mark are live. There’s your face on the left and mine on the right sitting here in our happy respective rooms. And then here we go. So, well, it’s no pressure. What shall we do for the people today?
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, we got a lot to do for the people. But look at this. Since you said I’m looking at it live, it went from 147 viewers. Because it tells you how many people are watching. 354.
SPEAKER 10 :
Look out. Trump could resign and we’re just going to count viewers for the next five minutes.
SPEAKER 09 :
Move over, Joe Rogan. Move over, Megan Kelly. Look out. If we get to 1,000, I say we go shirtless. You speak for yourself. You knock yourself out. All right. So anyhow, welcome in and thank you for, and listen, thanks for supporting this great experience we’ve had over the years. You didn’t finish the thought. You started 12 or 13 years ago, but we didn’t start doing this right off the bat, right?
SPEAKER 10 :
No, no, no.
SPEAKER 09 :
So we’ve been doing this maybe a decade?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, I’d say at this length, with this detail, with this kind of love and fun, call it a decade.
SPEAKER 09 :
It has to be, yeah. And that’s why every time I come into the market, and I’m going to be in Dallas, Fort Worth, so get ready for dinner plans. We’ve got to go somewhere. I’m coming to the NRB.
SPEAKER 10 :
Convention, the National Religious Broadcasters. And Steve Stegall is coming too, I understand, right? Right, right. And we’re all doing shows from this building, so I get to meet him for the first time.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, no, I’ll be actually on site at the NRB over at the Gaylord. He’s going to do, because it’s so early, he’s going to do his show from Beltline there. Well, that’s fantastic. So that’ll be fun. So when I’m there, every time I come into the market, somebody will say, Mike, I never miss this segment. It’s one of my highlights of the day. And we both feel the same way. You know, I’m speaking for you. If I don’t do a hit with you in the morning, my whole day is ruined. Exactly.
SPEAKER 10 :
The whole thing is screwed up. And when Mike is gone, I tell him, dude, thanks a lot. Now I’ve got to come up with another half hour of content on my own.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s right. Heaven forbid. Heaven forbid. All right. Let’s start with the Battle of the Carolines. That’s exactly right. Good Caroline, bad Caroline. Gosh, and let’s go with, we might as well go with Bad Caroline first. It was awful. I mean, I watched that at six minutes when she read, she decided I’m going to go big here, go big or go home. I’m not only going to write a letter calling my cousin Bobby all these horrible, filthy names and make these horrible accusations, but I’m going to read it, like do a video of it. And she’s reading her own letter that I’m sure went viral and is viral. She calls her cousin a predator. She torches him for his past struggles with addiction. She claims that he’s got personal… This is Pete Hegseth all over again. This is Clarence Thomas all over again. You know, what makes him unqualified to be the Health and Human Services Secretary?
SPEAKER 10 :
She starts off with what a lot of these people are starting off with. He has no meaningful experience in government. Don’t they realize that’s awesome? You know who else that was true of? That guy named Trump.
SPEAKER 09 :
Donald Trump.
SPEAKER 10 :
Listen, I don’t mean you require zero experience in government, but if you come in with fresh eyes, that’s the kind of thing that means you can be a real reformer. You’re not covered with a coating of decades of sclerotic same old, same old. It’s just a wonderful thing to be fresh and new and a private sector soul in the arena of government.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, but not for nothing. But who is she to be the arbiter of what is or isn’t qualifications to be the Health and Human Service Secretary? That’s ridiculous. And I thought about that with Pete Hegseth. The people that were lining up to smear him. Well, he’s not qualified. Yeah, but who are you to say? They’re going to get to decide in the U.S. Senate. They’re going to make a decision in a governmental body. You being his cousin doesn’t really count. I mean, it’s personal. And incidentally… You talk about the Mark Davis rule about Trump derangement syndrome makes nice people mean, smart people stupid, funny people unfunny. Well, I mean, this Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg thing is so vicious, so awful, so ugly. And her son, JFK’s grandson, a guy named Jack Schlossberg… Boy, oh boy, is he a piece of work. He posted a video… Huh? He posted a video a couple weeks ago mocking RFK’s physical disability with the voice.
SPEAKER 10 :
The vocal disorder?
SPEAKER 09 :
Oh, my God. He did a video saying, I’m Bobby. I’m buying you an animal that you can… I mean, I’m thinking… How cruel are you? How nasty is this family? This Kennedy bunch, they are a piece of work, man. And for her to do this kind of, like you said, somebody posted, a guy by the name of Link Lauren, I think is a family friend of the Kennedys. And he worked on Kennedy’s short-lived presidential campaign. Here’s what Link Lauren wrote about Caroline’s letter. Bobby had gobs of support from his family. They volunteered on the campaign. They attended events, phone banks. When he was a Democrat running for president. Right. Each time I was at his home, it was full of family. He had a massive birthday party, many family members in attendance. The narrative that his family doesn’t support him is simply false. In this video and the letter, Caroline accuses Bobby of collecting birds of prey like he’s a… He’s a predator. It’s a bad thing. Bobby has taken disadvantaged Americans out falconing many times for charity. We had tons of events on our campaign. Caroline also weaponizes his past issues with addiction. Bobby has grit and authenticity. He’s been open about his past struggles with addiction, how he got sober decades ago. We literally made a documentary on addiction together and recovery. I was on set. I understand it’s disappointing for many of his family members to lose relevance especially the ones who had fancy postings in the Biden administration. But I question the veracity of the claims made in her video, as well as the convenient timing.
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s not just losing relevance. What the Kennedys are losing is someone from the fold. There’s an enormous amount of attention that’s going to be paid to a Kennedy, one of America’s legacy Democrat families. There’s Clinton, there’s Obama, there’s Kennedy was the granddaddy of them all. And to lose one, to have one of those leave the fold and fall in with Hitler, to fall in with the Third Reich of the Trump administration, that’s a sting to them. And they don’t like it. And they’re making it clear.
SPEAKER 01 :
They can’t stand it.
SPEAKER 10 :
Let’s go to the good Caroline. I watched the entire thing. Caroline K. Leavitt, 27-year-old press secretary. 27 years old.
SPEAKER 09 :
I’ve got socks older than her. I mean, and no binder. She didn’t have the stupid overs. And no fear. And knew all the reporters by name. I mean, she went in there ready to go. Jackie Heinrich did a kind of behind-the-scenes video and said, oh, look, we’re about to almost pass 1,000 viewers. We’re at 947.
SPEAKER 10 :
No, you are not.
SPEAKER 09 :
I tell you what, we go over 1,000, I’ll talk us both out of it.
SPEAKER 03 :
We will not go shirtless. You have our word.
SPEAKER 09 :
Make your points quickly. But, I mean, she did this behind-the-scenes video and said, boy, it’s a lot different. I mean, you talk about an upgrade. An upgrade from Jen Circleback Pisaki. to KJP binders to now this young woman who was tough, who was fair, who was transparent. And you answered it perfectly. Somebody said, well, are you going to be representing the president or are you going to speak the truth as if they’re not the same thing? And she said, look, I speak the truth, and yes, I represent the president. I’m the press secretary. Duh. I mean, it was so refreshing. Mark, something’s different. Something is different this time. Everything’s different this time. But I don’t feel Axios made an attempt this morning to say, oh, well, Trump’s latest pause on federal loans has ignited the resistance. Oh, pfft. Has it?
SPEAKER 10 :
Has it really? Oh, the walls are closing in this time, Mark. I don’t know. I’m shivering with fear. And the other word you’re going to hear 47 times a day is chaos. Oh, it’s causing chaos because this pipeline of funding doesn’t happen. Or he’s telling federal workers, if you quit, we’ll buy you out. You pay for eight months and you’re gone. What a great way to weed out some of the fat in government. Every time they say chaos, know that what’s really happening is a resolution of the chaos. We’ve had chaos forever. You know, if you are the cancer, chemo is chaos and we’re making things better. And of course, people are freaking out.
SPEAKER 09 :
You bet. Speaking of cancer, I got to ask you a health question. And by the way, here we go. Big announcement. We did it. Hit it, Eric. What, a thousand? Over a thousand. But no, don’t you dare. No, no. Oh, stop it. Rhonda, get in there quick. Don’t let him do it.
SPEAKER 10 :
Don’t let him do it. Got a cool black T-shirt underneath.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, it’s kind of good. That’s like the Gypsy Rose Lee strip.
SPEAKER 10 :
Just a couple of buttons.
SPEAKER 09 :
Show them a little bit there. But yeah, it’s kind of fun. Speaking of health, I did post this morning, because everybody around me is dropping like flies from the flu. Is there a lot of flu in North Texas?
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay. Yes, it’s localized. Is it the godly ISD? We had an entire school district shut down. They’ve closed schools for a few days because they got so many flu cases.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s what I thought because everybody around me is getting it. And you know me, Harry Hypochondriac.
SPEAKER 10 :
Everybody watch today because he’ll be gone for the next week.
SPEAKER 09 :
Look, I’m getting ready to check myself into ICU just as a preventative measure. Put me on the vent.
SPEAKER 10 :
But honestly, flu shot or no flu shot? Okay, I always do it. I’ve never believed the thing that the flu shot gives you the flu. Here’s the funny thing. Have I done it this year? I have not just because I’m a forgetful dork.
SPEAKER 09 :
You know what I’m going to do with my doctor? I’ve got a doctor who loves, what do you call it? You’ll know the word. It starts with a C. Is it chelation? Chelation. Fluids. Chelation. Fluids that leak through your body and do wonderful things. And that’s a big thing now. I mean, you can go into shopping malls now and get an IV.
SPEAKER 10 :
There are drip franchises. Yeah. Some weird franchises.
SPEAKER 09 :
It’s like Starbucks. And so my doctor… Yeah, my doctor believes big in that. And he’s got like a big immune boost IV drip. Takes about 45 minutes. Okay. How much is that bad boy? I think it’s like $100 or something. But I don’t know. Am I so warped over the COVID hysteria that I’m against any kind of shot now?
SPEAKER 10 :
I don’t think I want to get it. I understand reticence about anything. That almost anybody coming at me with a needle of any kind is like, I don’t know, I don’t know.
SPEAKER 09 :
I’m going to get a brain tumor. I’m going to have a heart attack. I’m going to have a stroke. I mean, it’s like everything turns into this hole. And while I’m going down, you talk about going… Through the looking glass, I know, but I don’t want to get it. I’ll get the IV, but I’m not going to. And I take my ivermectin every week. I take ivermectin every single week.
SPEAKER 10 :
As we wrap, question, because here we go. We topped out at nearly 1,200 people.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yes, sir.
SPEAKER 10 :
Two things. Number one, as soon as you and I are done here in 30 seconds, this post will exist. So three hours from now, somebody can come back to Gallagher Show on Twitter and watch it again.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, it lives there. It’ll live there. Yeah, sure.
SPEAKER 10 :
And number two, you’re going to do this every day. Why not?
SPEAKER 09 :
What the heck? It’s a brave new world. Look, we’ve got new owners in our company, and they’re all about digital, so I’m embracing digital. What the heck? Hey, more us is always a good thing. Let’s dive in. The water’s warm. We’re going to do digital. I love you, too. Happy Wednesday, and welcome to our new X family, the M&M Experience Live.
