In this episode of the Mike Gallagher Show, we delve into the complexities surrounding President Trump’s recent peace deal achievements in the Middle East. Join us as we explore various perspectives from Fox News commentators to critics who once doubted his abilities. We reflect on how these developments might reshape perceptions and challenge the ongoing narrative against him, stirring discussions about truth, fiction, and how tightly held beliefs are tested in times of change.
SPEAKER 14 :
From director Sean McNamara comes Soul on Fire, based on a true story. They said you had no chance, but here you are. Starring Joel Courtney, John Corbett, Stephanie Shostak, Macy McLean, with Devon Franklin and William H. Macy.
SPEAKER 08 :
If you focus exactly on loving the life that you’re living right now, and not the life that you think you could have had or should have had, that’s the whole deal right there.
SPEAKER 14 :

SPEAKER 15 :
Their home. The hostages have been returned. The peace president has prevailed. Now, with a special edition of the Mike Gallagher Show, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 10 :
It is great news indeed, and the joy of the returning hostages continues to reverberate all throughout the world. Welcome in. I want to start with a report from Trey Yinkst over at Fox News Channel. There is this, you know, we live in two sort of parallel universes. There’s truth and there’s fiction. There’s reality and there are lies. And there’s a lot of great lies that are told on a regular basis. We have to accept that. propaganda is part and parcel of our discourse. The left thinks that people like me are propagandists. I believe that people over at ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC are propagandists. I suspect you do too. But one of the big lies that has been told over and over again is that Trump, President Trump, is a cruel, evil, maniacal, narcissistic man. Now, Trey Yinkst, the foreign correspondent over at Fox News, has really never been described as very warm and fuzzy towards MAGA. I’ve seen some criticism that he’s received over the past in his reporting. Others can judge that. I don’t care one way or the other. But what I did notice… was his acknowledgment. Now, this is a news reporter. This is not an opinion guy, okay? This is a straight news reporter. He’s just supposed to be in the field and reporting on the facts. He’s a war correspondent. He’s the guy that often has a helmet on and a flak jacket, and he’s dodging the mortar shells, and is regarded as a really fine war correspondent. Listen to what Fox News reports. Channel’s war correspondent said about President Trump and his schedule yesterday in Israel.
SPEAKER 02 :
What stood out to me is how much he actually cares about the region and the people here. This is the most powerful man in the world. And yet he purposefully delayed his schedule so he could spend more time with the families of hostages and hostages who had been freed in previous deals. that he supported. And when you think about what this means, it means that you have a leader who is looking toward the future with an understanding of the realities on the ground. And those realities are that Israel is a population of nearly 10 million people. The Gaza Strip is a population of more than 2 million people. And the president has a vision for a future of the Middle East that would not have all of the violence and war that has ravished the Middle East for the past two years, as we’ve seen inside the Gaza Strip with the death and destruction following a horrific massacre on October 7th. And so this really does feel like a moment of change for the Middle East, an opportunity for countries around the world to come together.
SPEAKER 10 :
Of course it does, but it also is showing a side of President Trump. Trey Yinks is exposing a side of Trump that people don’t understand exists. He delayed his schedule so that he could spend plenty of time with the families of the hostages for as long as possible. I remember covering one of Trump’s campaign rallies back in the day, and he delayed everybody because he wanted to go thank personally every single police officer and first responder who was assigned to duty that day. He went out of his way, not in front of any of the cameras, to shake every one of their hands and pose for pictures with them because that’s the kind of guy he is. I wonder if this peace deal—and I asked this question yesterday— I’m going to ask it again today. I wonder if this deal is revealing the successful side of Donald Trump. Whatever you think of the guy, sharp elbows, mean tweets, combative personality, this is a guy who deeply cares. In fact, Greg Gutfeld yesterday on The Five, on Fox News, sort of echoed the theme that I was embarking on yesterday. And that is, where are the never Trumpers today? Where are the Trump haters? What about the no Kings protesters this weekend? Are any of them stopping to take stock and realize that maybe, just maybe, they were wrong about Donald Trump? And Greg takes it a step further. He wants to know if they’re willing to apologize.
SPEAKER 06 :
I would love for never Trumpers to ask themselves about the possibility that the things that they hated about him are what make him successful. And perhaps you were your ego. was hurt by the fact that he believed that these great things could happen, and he was persistent and relentless and positive, and that just seemed so alien to you. If you think about it, where are his critics today? How small are they? Because I can’t see them. Where is Bill Kristol? Where is Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Gavin Newsom, Vindman? Where are these people? We should do a show on Fox Nation called Where Are They Now? Because I want to know, how do you look in the mirror when you see, after years of mocking people who had faith in this guy, people who risked a lot of stuff to support Trump that you made fun of, the George Takeis of the world that ridiculed him, where are they? Don’t you owe the people that you mocked some kind of apology?
SPEAKER 10 :
And I don’t necessarily believe that an apology is forthcoming or even expected. What I believe is, and I want to see if you agree with me, even quietly, even silently, these Trump haters have to acknowledge they have been largely wrong about the man. And I’m starting to agree with people like Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, who said yesterday on Fox News, the people who will be in the streets this Saturday for the No Kings protest, they are simply people who have a blind rage, a deranged hatred for President Trump. Here’s what he said.
SPEAKER 09 :
The optics of the No King’s Day going to happen with the anti-Trump rally, which I’m kind of curious of what they’re going to protest. Here you have a president that literally the world is praising because he’s the president of peace. He’s literally leading the world now, and yet they’re still going to protest him because why? The economy is so bad? Because their streets are safer? Because he’s bringing the hostages home? I mean, what are you really protesting against other than just your deranged hatreds towards President Trump?
SPEAKER 10 :
What are you protesting against other than your deranged hatred for President Trump? Isn’t he right? I don’t want to be cruel here. I want to have some grace. I want to have a little bit of decency. But I really do want to ask you, at 800-655-MIKE, as we kick off Tuesday here in the Relief Factor Studios, you tell me what drives you. Hundreds of thousands, probably millions of people to take to the streets Saturday to protest this man right after he achieved the unthinkable. Peace between a ceasefire and peace in the Middle East. Is it just a blind rage? Is it just a deranged hatred, as Mark Wayne Mullen put it yesterday? Or are we missing something here? Give me your take. Give me your thoughts on the people who are unwilling to give Trump the benefit of the doubt ever. 800-655-MIKE. Call or text. I hope you join us. 800-655-6453. Hey, flood the zone. You know me. I love loaded lines. I want to talk to Americans about this bizarre turn of events, this wonderful, joyful occasion to celebrate the release of the hostages, the return of the hostages, peace in the Middle East. And yet what Mark Wayne Mullen refers to as the deranged hatred of Trump. Is it going to get better? Is the tide going to turn or not? I want to find out what you think. Join me, 800-655-MIKE. You know how much I care about family, tradition, and the kind of meals that bring people together. That’s why I love telling you about Tri-Tales Premium Beef. They’re a fifth-generation ranching family down in Texas, real ranchers, not corporations, and they put together something really special, the Autumn Butcher Box.

SPEAKER 15 :
They’re home. The hostages have been returned. The peace president has prevailed. Now, with a special edition of the Mike Gallagher Show, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 10 :
The joy of the hostages being released continues as we bring you into a Tuesday. And there’s a lot of other developments that we need to share with you. Today is a National Day of Remembrance for our friend and colleague, Charlie Kirk. I’m in such a weird place right now. I’m feeling a desire to share some grace. I think it’s really important to share grace. to exhibit a little bit of grace. Think about today’s National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk. I mentioned it to my friend Mark Davis this morning in Dallas, and Mark was shocked that the United States Senate unanimously approved today being a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie. Mark said, unanimous? And of course I looked it up. Yes, every single person member of the U.S. Senate, Democrats and Republicans are honoring Charlie today. Now, look, I know they don’t get a big medal for just sort of going along with something that is this decent and this tremendous. But, you know, Florida Senator Rick Scott introduced a resolution to make October 14, 2025, which would have been Charlie’s 32nd birthday, it’s his 32nd birthday today, a National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk, calling his assassination a devastating loss. Senator Scott said in remarks, Charlie was a good man, a devout husband, father, friend. And every single Republican and Democrat candidate in the Senate, approved the resolution. See, we never talk about times where Republicans and Democrats come together. We’re always at war with each other. This week, already, we’ve heard Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Fetterman, prominent Democrats all, commend and congratulate and praise Trump for this historic peace deal. And I’m just not in a skeptical mood right now. I’m not even in a skeptical mood about Christiane Amanpour. Have you heard this debate? Now, what she said on CNN was pretty dreadful. It led to a huge outpouring of controversy when Christiane Amanpour, the chief international correspondent for CNN, said this.
SPEAKER 01 :
People who start to talk to the hostages who’ve only just been released will find that it will take a long, long time for them to recover physically, but also mentally. It’s been a terrible, terrible two years for them because not only are they there, you know, they’re probably being treated better than the average Gazan.
SPEAKER 10 :
They’re probably being treated better than the average Gazan? What? Now, there was such shock and outrage at her casual observation that the men and women and children, those hostage, these brutalizations, the rape, I mean, I can’t even physically describe some of the things that I learned when I went to Israel. shortly after the October 7th massacre, and I interviewed victims of the attack, and I saw the video that has not been widely available to the general public, I can’t even put into words what some of the acts that they committed against these innocent men, women, and children, because it’s so grotesque, and you would be so repulsed, you’d be mad at me for telling you. So I won’t. I’ve got to respect some level of decorum and decency and know that there are men, women, and children listening and watching this show all over the country. So I’m not going to repeat it, but it’s so bad, I can’t put it into words. I can’t say it on this show. And she had the audacity to say that the hostages were treated better than the average person living in Gaza. Now, Here’s the point about grace, redemption, maybe some forgiveness. After the outcry over her remarks, she issued an apology. Here’s what Christiane Amanpour said.
SPEAKER 01 :
Earlier live on air, I spoke about what a day of real joy this is for Israeli families whose loved ones are finally being returned from two years of horrific Hamas captivity and for civilians in Gaza who finally had a reprieve from two years of brutal and deadly war. I noted that for the hostages who are finally home, it’ll take a long time for them to recover mentally and physically. But I regret also saying that they might have been treated better than many Gazans because Hamas used these hostages as pawns and bargaining chips. But that was insensitive and it was wrong. From speaking to many former hostages and their families, like everyone, I’ve been horrified at what Hamas has subjected them to over two long years.
SPEAKER 10 :
Now, in a normal time, I think most people would say, good, good for you. You apologized for that awful comment. Let’s turn the page and move on. But these are not normal times. And I witnessed a whole bunch of people on my side, people I like, who continued to go scorched earth, on that CNN correspondent. You’re reading from a teleprompter. You were forced to say that. You don’t mean that apology. You’re a lunatic, radical leftist, and you had no business saying that in the first place, and you’re still scum. I mean, a lot of that came from people that I really like. I’m not going to mention names because I don’t want to pick fights with people on my side of the aisle. But the lack of grace… in this country today, astounds me. Grace is a concept that I not only struggle with, but I am fascinated by. I’ve shared with you the longtime correspondence I’ve had for years now with a never-Trumper. And he and I have kind of lost contact over the last year or two. I think it’s even too much for him. I’ve lost friends over Trump. I get it. You have too. You’ve probably had fissures within your own family. It’s a weird time. It’s a strange time for politics. But I often have said to that friend of mine, why don’t you exhibit any grace towards Trump? You’re all hung up on what he said with Access Hollywood or what he did in the past or what he said on the Howard Stern Show. You don’t like his tweets. You don’t like who he is. But why don’t you ever give him any grace? Why can’t you extend the grace and the compassion that you think he should have more of? And they can’t answer that because there’s zero grace. There’s zero empathy for anything that Trump or his supporters stand for. That’s who these people are on the left. And I would submit to you that the only way anything is going to get better is if we try to meet each other somewhat. We’ll never agree on core fundamental principles and issues. I understand that. But when I saw Christiane Amanpour’s apology, I was relieved. And I thought, good. Good for her. I don’t care that she’s reading from a teleprompter. People on TV read everything off a teleprompter. Who cares that it’s a teleprompter? How does anybody know that management forced her to apologize? How do you not know that she apologized because she said the wrong thing? And she knows she went too far. I get that she’s a leftist. I appreciate that you’re going to say she is who she is. But when somebody does the right thing, let them. When somebody corrects something they did, give them a little bit of grace. And to be very blunt, I was really disappointed in watching the way a lot of people, again, who I like, some of whom are friends of mine, just continued to eviscerate her even after her apology. I think that’s a problem. I think it’s a problem on our side. I don’t know what to make of their side. Look, we’re going to see millions of people this Saturday marching around after this historic peace deal complaining about the peacemaker. We’re going to see people banging pots and pans. We’re going to see boomers in the streets of America objecting to the peace president. The same people who screamed free Palestine, who now get what they wanted, are going to bang pots and pans and march around and make fools of themselves because of their blind hatred for one man. They’ll never give him credit. They’ll never give him grace. They’ll never begin to understand him. But we shouldn’t be like them. We shouldn’t act like they do. We should have some compassion and some grace and some humbleness in our hearts. I believe, and you want to go biblical here, and I’m not equipped to do this, But I truly believe as a Christian that if someone admits to making a mistake and they ask for forgiveness, then we should accept their apology and forgive them and move on. Maybe you think I’m being too Pollyanna. I don’t know. Let’s find out. Let me turn it over to you here in the Relief Factor studios. I’m back home again in the upstate of South Carolina in the studios of 98.9 WORD, the voice of the Carolinas. We’ve got a big client appreciation event this afternoon. I’m looking forward to catching up with Tara and Charlie and Bill and Joey and Mark and Steve and the gang and shaking the hands of the many clients who make WORD possible here in the upstate. And I’m… kind of in a joyful spirit, but maybe you think I’m being too soft here. Maybe you don’t agree. You heard that apology. Are you going to continue to go scorched earth on Christiane Amanpour because of the mistake she made? Or do you accept her apology? Do you forgive somebody who says they’re sorry? I think we’ve got to, we’re forgetting grace. Grace. And we’re doing it because we’re understandably angry, we’re frustrated, we’re anxious, we’re mad at each other. People are mad all the time. I love the line that, I think it was Reagan who said, I’m a conservative, but I’m just not mad about it. People are angry every day. And it’s too much. And it starts with us. We can’t expect the boomers who are going to be banging pots and pans this weekend to back off. They’re going to do what they do. But it starts with us. It starts in here, in our heart. It starts with ourselves. I wonder if we’re going to accept the challenge. What do you think? 800-655-MIKE, 19 past the hour. Come join us here on the Mike Gallagher Show. I want you to flood my phone lines with a conversation about that sense of grace, that spirit of forgiveness, that understanding that grace does matter. We can’t change anybody else, but we can change ourselves. And I think the Christiane Amanpour case is an example of a lot of people on our side failing to show that kind of grace. Maybe I’m wrong. Let’s find out. Tell me what you think. 800-655-6453. I hope you join us. You ready to drop up to 20 pounds or more by the new year? Have you been struggling with belly fat forever?

SPEAKER 15 :
The Mike Gallagher Show.
SPEAKER 03 :
You talked about how you hope to end the war in Ukraine because it might help you get into heaven. How does this help? Does this help?
SPEAKER 04 :
You know, I’m being a little cute. I don’t think there’s anything going to get me in heaven. I think I’m not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to make heaven. But I’ve made life a lot better for a lot of people.
SPEAKER 15 :
In the Relief Factor studios on Salem News Channel and Salem Radio Network, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 10 :
President Trump’s remarks aboard Air Force One created some controversy. I was joking around, of course. I don’t think there’s anything going to get me into heaven. Well, no acts or works are going to get you into heaven. There is something that will get you into heaven. A lot of people sort of playfully suggested President Trump needs better spiritual advisors. But that’s President Trump being President Trump. You know, I know why I’m in this sort of mood today, and I think there needs to be some grace extended when there’s been a shortage of it. I’m thinking a lot about Erica Kirk today on this National Day of Remembrance for Charlie. It would have been his 32nd birthday. 32 years young. And some monster decided to silence him forever. And Charlie’s voice will not be silenced. His message will never, ever be silenced. He’s getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom today posthumously. Highest civilian honor. Erica will be there. And remember, when we talk about forgiveness, she forgave the man who murdered her husband. She forgave the man who killed the father of her children. That’s what grace looks like. And Turning Point USA put out a video clip that I want to share with you. After we’ll play a little bit of it here on the show, we’ll make it available through our MyPillow text line. It’s powerful. It’s beautiful. There’s some great images of Charlie and Erica and the kids. And all of it is in Erica’s own words.
SPEAKER 11 :
When you make that covenant with the Lord on that altar, don’t let that fire burn out from the altar. That love is so special and so powerful. You married your soulmate. You married the person who God made for you. He was the perfect father. He was the perfect husband. Charlie always believed that God’s design for marriage in the family was absolutely amazing, and it is. It is, and it was the greatest joy of his life. And over and over, he would tell all these young people to come and find their future spouse, become wives and husbands and parents. And the reason why is because he wanted you all to experience what he had and still has. He wanted everyone to bring heaven into this earth through love and joy that comes from raising a family. It’s beautiful.
SPEAKER 10 :
This video is beautiful. It’s a little hard to watch because it’s still so fresh. The pain of his assassination is still incredibly raw. the images of Charlie on that video and Erica and the kids are so beautiful. Again, it’s hard to watch, but it’s also inspirational. Because what those two people had in too brief a period of time was beautiful. And I get that from people who knew them both very, very well. People in their closest circle. And it makes his loss even more devastating. But I keep thinking about her standing there And I was so blessed to be in that arena in Phoenix that day for his memorial. And Erica said, I forgive him. I forgive that young man. That 22-year-old who killed Charlie is the kind of guy that Charlie was trying to reach. Charlie’s message, you know, and Erica referenced that. Find your person. Find a spouse. Find your husband or wife. Make babies. Bring children into the world. Seek joy and happiness in God. And they hated him for that. They hated him. That demented 22-year-old hated Charlie for that message because evil hates good. Evil despises good. That video, incidentally, it goes longer. There’s a lot of beautiful video images of the Kirk family. If you want us to send that back to you, courtesy of the MyPillow text line, just text the keyword Charlie to 800-655-MIKE. That’s 800-655-6453. We’ll send you back. That video clip to your smartphone or wherever you get your calls. Standard text messaging rates may apply. Please never text and drive. But it’s a beautiful thing to watch. It’s about two, two and a half minutes long. Just text the keyword Charlie to 800-655-6453. And we will send that clip back to you. And again, it’ll bring a tear to your eye, but it will also fill you with some appreciation. over the beauty of that young man’s life and that marriage. It breaks my heart to consider that she’s a widow at her age. It hurts my heart. I had somebody a couple weeks after my Denise died, somebody said to me, you’re too young to be a widower. And I always remembered him saying that and thinking, yeah, it’s kind of weird. It’s a strange place to be to lose your spouse. But over years, I’ve come to treasure every one of the memories that we made together, every moment. I think now of such warmth and fondness over the time that I had with her. And I know that Erica will get there someday. It takes a long time. It takes a long time. It’s not easy. It’s a terrible journey, and my heart is shattered. I’m gutted knowing that Erica didn’t have a chance to say goodbye, at least with, in my case, we were able to say goodbye. You know, she was sick, and we knew what was coming. Anyway, I’m just in kind of that philosophical mood today. Thanks for indulging me. I hope you’re okay with it. We’ve got a lot of breaking news to cover. I want to share with you a beautiful moment last night on CNN, of all places, when our colleague, our Salem Radio Network colleague, Scott Jennings, did something pretty ceremonial that was powerful. I’ll share that with you here in just a moment.

SPEAKER 10 :
Promo code MikeG. Here’s a text message from Chicago. Mike, many of us are just not at that point to accept these so-called apologies. These people have not changed just because they apologized. I’m not ready to move on. The wounds haven’t healed yet from how these people have portrayed us over the years. And again, I do understand that. When you’re called Hitler and a fascist and everything under the sun, It’s a little hard to be in a forgiving mood. Greg Gutfeld pointed this out yesterday on The Five on Fox News Channel. He wonders, where are all the Trump haters, the never-Trumpers, who have been condemning Trump and, more importantly, condemning Trump’s supporters in the aftermath of this extraordinary peace deal in the Middle East?
SPEAKER 06 :
I would love for never Trumpers to ask themselves about the possibility that the things that they hated about him are what make him successful. And perhaps you were, your ego was, was hurt by the fact that he believed that these great things could happen, and he was persistent and relentless and positive, and that just seemed so alien to you. If you think about it, where are his critics today? How small are they? Because I can’t see them. Where is Bill Kristol? Where is Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Gavin Newsom, Vindman? Where are these people? We should do a show on Fox Nation called Where Are They Now? Because I want to know, how do you look in the mirror when you see, after years of mocking people who had faith in this guy, people who risked a lot of stuff to support Trump that you made fun of, the George Takeis of the world that ridiculed him, where are they? Don’t you owe the people that you mocked some kind of apology?
SPEAKER 10 :
There we go again with that concept of grace. Will they ever give us grace? I don’t know. Maybe some, maybe many. But as we see people take to the streets Saturday with this stupid, moronic, useless, no-kings protest, all you can do is shake your head at them because they’re lost. They got nothing. You know what Trump’s going to do Friday? He’s going to host the Ukrainian president, Zelensky. He’s now set his sights on trying to achieve peace between Ukraine and Russia. So after his big Middle East victory, now he sets his sights on peace in Ukraine. If he achieves that, then what are the Never Trumpers going to say? Then what are the Haters going to do. Greg is right. They’re just so small right now. And I don’t I’m not trying to spike the football here and make them, you know, I hate to vilify them. But where are they now? Banging pots and pans and screaming about what a fascist he is because he wants cities like Chicago to have less crime. Calling him a dictator because he wants federal troops to help with law enforcement in crime-ravaged cities. Oh, what a terrible thing to do. Guarantee you the crime victims in Chicago appreciate it. I can promise you the crime victims in Los Angeles or Baltimore or Oakland or New York, they appreciate it. But then again, the left never thinks too much about crime victims, do they? They always worry about the criminals. Every single day, it’s a joy to remind you that portions of our show are sponsored by MyPillow. As you know, our friend Mike Lindell, big legal victory last week. He’s been in a ton of hot water, as you know, because he believes in election integrity. Of course, due to his friendship with President Trump. Well, last week, there was a $5 million vote. judgment against Mike that was overturned by the courts. Good news for MyPillow. So you keep praying for MyPillow, and you keep supporting this great American company. The premium MyPillow, limited time, great price, $18.98. If you go to MyPillow.com, this pillow is a godsend.

SPEAKER 10 :
Saw a headline today that the squad is strangely silent about the Trump peace deal in the Middle East. You do know how much we’re lied to, right? You understand that it’s all an illusion. All these leftist protesters, free Palestine. Israel’s committing a genocide. Well, it ended. So you’d think the happiest people in the world would be Ilhan Omar or Ayanna Pressley or AOC or Zoran Mamdani. You know what Zoran’s wife is doing? Publicly mourning the death of of a pro-Hamas terrorist-loving sympathizer. Some character named FAFO got killed. There’s such an illusion here. These are a bunch of phonies. You understand the very first people who would be screaming to the heavens about how great this peace deal would be are the ones who were screaming about the genocide. Because it’s over. There’s peace between Israel and Hamas. Palestinians are pouring back into Gaza. Trump is promising money will be pouring into Gaza to rebuild. And yes, there are reports that Hamas is committing mass executions of dissidents. right now in Gaza. And that’s deeply problematic. But the whole idea that the squad, that the radical left wanted peace in the Middle East, if they did, if they truly did, they’d be the loudest in congratulating the United States on this historic achievement. They didn’t mean it. They never meant it. It’s like the empty promise of trying to fight crime in big cities. It’s like promising we don’t want crime in Chicago or Baltimore or Cleveland or Detroit. Well, if you don’t want crime, why would you reject Trump’s efforts to send in troops to help police high crime neighborhoods? They don’t want crime to be erased. They don’t want crime reduced. They want the chaos. They want the destruction. They want the agony. They’re miserable people who wallow in misery. That’s their whole DNA. It’s in their DNA. They’re going to march around Saturday banging pots and pans. Now, they won’t be able to scream about Israel’s genocide Saturday at the big No Kings protest. But they can certainly complain about efforts to reduce crime in America’s cities. But they’re not truthful. They’re not who they say they are. You think Ilhan Omar or Rashida Tlaib are lovers of peace? Well, if you love peace, you love what Trump accomplished this week. It goes way beyond just hating on Trump. They would be able to qualify, well, we don’t like Trump, but at least he got the deal done, and it’s wonderful. Praise Allah, they got the genocide over. They ended the genocide. They’re not saying a word. It’s because they’re liars. And the lies go up and down the spectrum. Look at this goofy woman from The View. Back in December, here’s what Alyssa Farrah Griffin, I don’t know her. I don’t care. I wouldn’t watch The View if you held me hostage if I was under duress. I would absolutely not watch. Watch 30 seconds of that drivel. The only time I ever hear about The View is when my team gives me a clip or two. And here’s a clip that you might find interesting. This is way back in December on ABC’s The View.
SPEAKER 05 :
If he gets the Israeli hostages out, I promise I will wear a MAGA hat for one day on the show and say, thank you for doing it. She’ll knock it right off my head. You have to be able to cheer for wins when they happen and then call out relentlessly the wrongdoing.
SPEAKER 10 :
I am told that yesterday when The View aired, she didn’t wear a red MAGA hat. Now, when you make a promise like that, you got to do it, right? Well, you do it if you’re truthful. You do it if you possess integrity. She never meant it. And if she kind of did mean it in the moment last December, she never thought Trump could accomplish it. So he did. And now she won’t. I could be wrong. Maybe she’ll be shamed into wearing it. I saw Don Jr. posted it on social media last night. Come on, Alyssa, step up. You said if you freed the hostages, you’d wear your red MAGA hat. And you know Whoopi and Joy and all the rest of those miserable shrews are behind the scenes saying, don’t you dare. Don’t you dare. You’ll be shamed forever if you wear it. Don’t you dare. There’ll be pictures of you from now to the end of time wearing a MAGA hat. You can’t possibly do that. It’s because they don’t tell the truth. They just don’t. They didn’t want peace. They didn’t want a resolution. They don’t want peace between Russia and Ukraine. They don’t want crime reduced in our city’s neighborhoods. They wallow in victimhood, and they crave the despair and the destruction. The Democrats are a party of destruction and political violence. That’s where we are now in October of 2025. 800-655-MIKE. 800-655-6453. We’re in the Relief Factor Studios in the upstate of South Carolina. Great to have you here for another episode. I hope you can join us. I want you to hear… and see what Scott Jennings did last night on CNN. Scott, for two years, has worn a yellow ribbon on his lapel of his suit coat. The yellow ribbon, of course, signifying hoping, praying, longing, yearning for the return of the hostages. This is what Scott did last night on that panel with Abby Phillips that he has to suffer through nightly on CNN.
SPEAKER 07 :
I’ve been wearing this pin for two straight years waiting for these hostages to come home. And I’ve been waiting to take it off. And I’m going to take it off tonight because the 20 people came out. And I met some of the families earlier this year, and I’ve been following their stories quite closely. And I’m going to replace it. With an American pin, American flag pin, because in my opinion, this was a huge victory for the American people, led by our president. But it was only through the power and the force of will of the president of the United States that 20 people returned to their families, that we have the beginnings of the possibility of a peaceful era in the Middle East, and that maybe a future can be had by millions upon millions of people in a place where it’s sometimes hard to visualize a future.
SPEAKER 10 :
What a moment. What a big moment. In fact, even the panel that normally yells and jumps on his every word and tries to interrupt everything he says, even they were stunned into silence as he removed that yellow ribbon pin and replaced it with an American flag. So proud to call Scott Jennings my friend and our Salem News, our Salem Radio Network colleague. Wow.
