Join Mike as he dissects the shift in public sentiments regarding January 6th and how conservative media plays a pivotal role in shaping discourse. With segments discussing equity protection and political rebranding, the episode holds a mirror to the changing tides in American socio-political dynamics, offering practical insights on how to navigate these complexities in daily life.
SPEAKER 03 :
He’s the happy conservative warrior. From the Relief Factor Studios, here’s Mike Gallagher.
SPEAKER 05 :
I really wish I was a nicer person. I hate how much I enjoyed watching Kamala Harris certify her own defeat yesterday. I’m not proud of myself. My wife used to say, Gallagher, you are a little, little man. And I am. I’m just petty. I’m petty and maybe mean-spirited. In fact, I saw a clip on social media last night that showed what Kamala Harris said when she was a candidate for president and what she had to say yesterday. I thought I’d share.
SPEAKER 07 :
And I have said, and I’m very clear about this, Donald Trump should never again stand behind the seal of the president of the United States. He has not earned the right. He has not earned the right. And that’s why he’s going to lose. The votes for president of the United States are as follows. Donald J. Trump of the state of Florida has received 312 votes. Kamala Harris.
SPEAKER 05 :
Now, do you know how agonizing that had to be for her? And why do I – I shouldn’t enjoy it. I really am not happy with myself. But, gosh, it was a great moment. And there was all that concern about the snowstorm they’ve had in Washington, D.C., and would the lawmakers get back? And they did, and it all came together. And, of course, Democrats are bragging, well, at least they didn’t burn the place down. See, we can do this. There wasn’t an insurrection. There’s no riot. There was no Pearl Harbor. Some of these dummies are actually equating January 6th, 2021, to the Holocaust. You know how sick you have to be to even go there? First of all, if you’re Jewish, how offended are you to hear the likes of this goofball, what’s her name, Sonny Hostin over on The View? Is the clip, I don’t even know if we should play it. Christian, does the clip contain her making this absurd reference to the Holocaust and Pearl Harbor and what, the riot of a few hundred people with one dead Trump supporter, Ashley Babbitt, one murdered Trump supporter, that’s the same as the Holocaust? Should I play this clip or not? I don’t even know if I want to play it. I’ve got it in queue. Let me take a quick straw poll on the MyPillow text line. 800-655-MY. Do you want to hear it?

SPEAKER 05 :
Promo code MikeG. All right, there they are. Eric, there’s clearly some massive delay with my… With my text line. So something’s up with our program. But finally, I’m seeing all the votes coming in. And it’s an overwhelming yes. So you asked for it. You got it. Here we go. Sonny Hostin on The View.
SPEAKER 01 :
I say no. You don’t move on. Because January 6th was an atrocity. It was one of the worst moments in American history. And when you think about the worst moments in American history, you know, like World War II, things that happened, you know, like the Holocaust, chattel slavery, we need to never forget, because past becomes prologue if you forget any race.
SPEAKER 05 :
Now, these people are so goofy and so delusional and so nuts that they don’t even recognize… Something like a CNN poll. Do you want to know what the percentage is of people who think January 6th, 2021 is important today? Wait until you hear the numbers guy, Harry Enten, over on CNN. Wait until you hear him telling a shocked John Berman just how many Americans really do care about January 6th. And Scott Jennings, the great Scott Jennings, called it the Democrats’ High Holy Day, which was perfect. And, you know, I’ll play that clip for you from the polling, which you’re going to love, I promise. But as we get ready for that, I want to open up the phone lines to you and ask you a question. When the Sonny Hostins, the miserable Sonny Hostins of the world, say something as idiotic as January 6th is comparable to the Holocaust and slavery and Pearl Harbor and everything else, do they believe it? I often ask you this question, but I never can get a good grasp of it. I want to find out what you think. 800-655-MIKE. Join me. We’re in the Relief Factor studios. It’s Tuesday, January 7th. Welcome in. Our number is 800-655-MIKE. Do they believe that crap or do they just spout rhetoric? Is it just propaganda because they think that’s what they’re paid to do? You can’t be that stupid. You can’t be that cruel. You know how cruel it is to compare January 6th to the Holocaust? How about families who lost loved ones, grandparents, great-grandparents in the Holocaust? How insulted they must be. So I want to know from you, if you think they mean it, or is it just propaganda and they’re making it up? 1-800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453. I hope you join us.
SPEAKER 04 :

SPEAKER 03 :
Mike Gallagher.
SPEAKER 05 :
A ton of text messages pouring in on the MyPillow text line. Nebraska, they are absolutely nuts. And that’s my, you know, go-to expression. Some of these people are just nuts. Michigan, Democrats are in a self-inflicted four-year timeout from the presidency, and they just can’t handle it. The hatred they’re showing is psychotic. And finally from California, San Diego, Sunny Hostin should change her name from Sunny Hostin to Sunny Hostel. Thank you, San Diego. I heard from the great general manager of the San Diego Salem property this week. I’ve got to get back out there. It’s been a while since I’ve visited San Diego. I was a guest with Hugh Hewitt this morning, and Hugh was chiding me over my vacation time. He’s one to talk. I mean, we all get time off. And I took a nice, long, fat break over the holidays, and he wanted to know about ABBA Voyage, which is that show that I saw over there that just blew my mind. Avatars, virtual avatars. I thought they were real people. The whole thing fooled me. I had to get in the Uber on the way back to the hotel and look it up online and found out that they were all virtual avatars. It’s amazing technology. So anyway, just thrilled to be your live host in San Diego and look forward to coming back soon. 800-655-MIKE, what do you think about Sonny Hostin? And I’m going to play the Harry Enten thing in just a moment. You don’t want to miss this. But quickly to Eric in Delaware. Eric, when Sonny Hostin compares January 6, 2021, to the Holocaust, Does she believe it, do you think? Or is she just spewing propaganda to get attention?
SPEAKER 04 :
Mike, I think she’s spewing propaganda. And then also her reference to slavery. You know, I was driving along here listening to that quote. And when she references slavery, she says cattle slavery or cattle slavery. And it struck me. I thought, you know, I thought. It was pronounced chattel slavery. You can tell me if I’m right or wrong.
SPEAKER 05 :
I thought it was chattel slavery. I always thought it was pronounced chattel slavery. But incidentally, that was the legal institution that treated enslaved people as personal property. But here’s a black woman who I think also discovered she was part Jewish. I believe she made that pronouncement. I thought I saw that somewhere. And so she’s black and Jewish, and she compares, you know, a few hundred people rioting on January 6, 2021, to the Holocaust and slavery. Insane. Catherine in Columbus, Ohio. What do you think it is, Catherine? Does she believe it? Does she really feel it? Or is she just making it up? Catherine, you there? All right, let’s try Walter in Detroit. Hi, Walter. Welcome back.
SPEAKER 10 :
Hi, Mike. Hi. Man, my wife and I love you, man. We’re a black couple, man. We just love you. I love you back. Thank you, Walter. Give your wife my best. She said you crack her up, man. Expressions on your face. You should have been a comedian, man.
SPEAKER 05 :
I live to serve. I live to serve. It’s a good deal. Well, what do you think? Does Sonny Hostin mean it? You’re a black man. Does she compare January 6th to slavery?
SPEAKER 10 :
You know what I call worse than the view, listening to those evil witches on there? Yes, I said evil witches. The people that go in their studio that listen to them are worse than they are. And this is my take. She thought, her and all them Democrats and their voters… including Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and all the guys in the Congress, the Democrats, that is. They actually thought that was going to be one of their arsenals, tools in their arsenals, or Hail Mary, to steal the last election. And guess what? Just like abortion and all the other go-tos and their Hail Marys, none of it worked.
SPEAKER 05 :
You know, this is why you’re one of my favorite callers, because you just hit on something, Walter, that is so important, and that is the way America rejected their awful, awful, deceitful, wicked narratives. And that’s what we saw on November 5th, didn’t we? We rejected the narrative of January 6th. We’ve rejected the narrative about what they claim is the science, whether it’s COVID or climate change. We rejected their narrative that all crime isn’t really that bad. We rejected their narrative that inflation isn’t really that problematic. Walter, what we saw on November 5th was a revolt. It was a revolution where Americans said, you know what, mainstream media, no more. You’re not going to get away with it anymore.
SPEAKER 10 :
And guess what? Obama, you might as well throw him in the group. All that crap, he’s going out there talking to the black brothers, you know, rebuking them. I know. Get backfired on him. And I think you guys, the ones I listen to, including you, they’re predicting that he’s just going to disappear because nobody wants to listen to his race card, race pimping, race hustling ways like Al Sharpton and the rest of them.
SPEAKER 05 :
He becomes irrelevant, doesn’t he? I mean, these guys are becoming irrelevant before our very eyes, and that’s a glorious thing to watch. Thanks, Walter. Great hearing from you again and again. Thank your wife for me. I appreciate both of you very much. This is what I mean about rejecting the narrative, and that’s what finally, finally we broke through. You know, people, as long as I’ve been in this business, there’s been a debate about what’s the impact of conservative media? What’s the impact of talk radio? What’s the impact of Salem News Channel? And, you know, Rush Limbaugh, to his credit, always used to say, look, if we were that successful, we wouldn’t have had, you know, eight years of Clinton. Now we could do an appendix to that. We wouldn’t have had eight years of Obama. But this time, it feels different. This year, it felt like something really broke through. And I’m going to have a delightful time in sharing with you the shock and awe of CNN coming to the realization that the overwhelming majority of Americans do not consider January 6th, 2021, a big deal. That great clip and more coming up.
SPEAKER 09 :
Memories in my way, love’s in the way.
SPEAKER 05 :
There’s no better time than right now to call my friends at PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition to start your journey to a healthier you. As I hear from you about how PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition has changed your life, I know that each one of us has had our own reasons for starting. I started my journey because I gained enough weight and was ready to make a change. I sat down with Dr. Ashley Lucas. And like they say, the rest was history. I lost 53 pounds and I’ve kept it off. We all have different reasons for starting. Maybe you got a discouraging diagnosis from your doctor. You needed to make a lifestyle change. One grandmother I talked to couldn’t chase her toddler grandson and was afraid he might get hurt in her care. Another gentleman had lower back and hip pain, which forced him to give up golf. He wanted his life back. You want your life back? do what i did start the phd journey make 2024 your year to say goodbye and let go of all those unwanted pounds call phd weight loss and nutrition today to schedule your consultation call 864-644-1900 864-644-1900 or just go to myphdweightloss.com myphdweightloss.com
SPEAKER 03 :
He’s the happy conservative warrior. From the Relief Factor Studios, here’s Mike Dillon.
SPEAKER 05 :
I hate it when I have what I know is a very uncharitable reaction to something that’s happening to somebody. I know it’s not the right way to feel or believe. I keep hearing my wife Denise’s voice in my head. Gallagher, you are a little, little man. I enjoyed Kamala Harris yesterday way more than I should have. The fact that she had to certify her own defeat was so fulfilling to me. And I feel guilty about it. I know it’s not the right thing to do. She had a terrible day. You know that she got home and kicked off her shoes and she and Doug probably… probably down to a bottle of Chianti, because it was a rough, rough afternoon for Kamala Harris. I saw something, a lot of good stuff on X and social media. In fact, Betty Johnson. tweeted out something on X last night. An impeccable source just told me something wild. Let’s see if it plays out. Tomorrow, the social media landscape will change massively once again for the good. You’ll see soon. Wow. Well, Benny Johnson was right. Wait till you hear the announcement that Facebook makes about censorship. This is huge. It’s a large reason why I’ve stayed away from Facebook. And now I’m back. We’re getting back to Instagram and Facebook and TikTok and X. And who am I missing? Truth Social. 2025 is going to be the year that we kind of reengage on digital platforms with the Mike Gallagher show. You know, we’re really proud of the ratings and revenue that this show already generates. We’re grateful for the massive way you respond to our campaigns and support our advertisers. In December, just in the month of December, you donated nearly a quarter of a million dollars to our Prison Fellowship Angel Tree campaign. No show comes close to us. And it’s you. It’s this audience. And so I’m mindful that a lot of you are very plugged in to X and hope you follow me on X at Gallagher Show. And I hope you start following me on TikTok and Truth Social and Facebook and Instagram. Because look, this news about Facebook is huge. And the Mike Gallagher Show newsman, Roger P. Shulman, is going to be by a little later this hour to break it all down for you. Because it’s pretty… Pretty astounding. This is why Trump doesn’t want TikTok banned. And I understand the reservations that a lot of us have about TikTok. Look, I’ve had reservations about Facebook. But it sounds like Zuckerberg and people like him are starting to get the message. I mean, they’re all lining up and donating millions to Trump’s inauguration next week. Companies like McDonald’s are abandoning their DEI initiatives. Change is coming. Change is here, arguably. And thank God in heaven above, we avoided the catastrophic impact of a Kamala Harris victory. Now, remember, she confidently predicted that Trump was going to lose. This is perhaps why I’m enjoying this so much. This is what I saw on X last night, a before and after. This is Kamala before and after. You know how there’s like before and after, like with my weight. You’ve seen the before and after picture of me with my weight, right, with PhD weight loss. And I stupidly ate too much over in London when I went there for Christmas. And I got right back on the horse again, the PhD bandwagon. I lost like seven pounds in four days. I know exactly what to do. You got the before and after pic, Christian, for people watching on video on Salem News Channel? Man, I was big. I was a fatty. No way around it. And Fatty Mike isn’t so fatty anymore thanks to PhD weight loss. I lost 53 pounds on the PhD program. And as we get into 2025, I’m more committed than ever to try to get everybody to lose weight. So if you’re watching and we’ve got all these different video platforms, you know, Samsung Plus. Sling, Pluto, Pluto TV, Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Fire Stick, Google TV, Fubo, Vizio. So the show is being streamed everywhere now. In fact, a guy stopped me at the department store the other night and said, I watch you every day, Gallagher. And incidentally, one more quick housekeeping note. I notice that everybody always likes to call me Gallagher, and it never bothers me. Because it’s kind of catchy, I guess, but I always was worried about being confused with that comedian that broke the watermelons. And I don’t think he’s around anymore. Is he still with us? The guy that would slice up, he’d bash watermelons with a sledgehammer. So I think we ought to start rebranding. I’m going to talk to the suits and see if they like The Gallagher Show. Doesn’t The Gallagher Show have a better ring to it than The Mike Gallagher Show? Again, the only reason I always want to insert Mike into that phrase is because of the comedian. I don’t want people to get us mixed up. I already have enough problems being mixed up with the former Rhino, Wisconsin congressman, Mike Gallagher. So I think we ought to start. I think it has a nicer ring to it. The Gallagher Show. Gallagher Show. You can call me Gallagher. It won’t bother me. Don’t worry. Anyway, so we’ve got a lot of things going on. We’ve got a lot of plans. Do you have the before and after pic? Can’t find it, huh? There it is. Put it up. There it is. There’s the before and after. If you’re watching us on the live stream and on Salem News Channel, man, there I was, fat. Gosh, that’s embarrassing. And now, you know, not so bad. 53 pounds down. And I’m proud of that. MyPhDWeightLoss.com, incidentally, one of our proud sponsors and partners. I’m going to have lunch with Dr. Ashley later this week when I’m in South Carolina. Now, imagine having to be on your best behavior with the founder and CEO of PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition, Dr. Ashley Lucas. Because she doesn’t have one ounce of body fat. She’s a former ballerina. Beautiful woman. And so we’re going to dine together over at, what is it, Fireside, Firestone, Firestick, something over by the radio station. MyPhDWeightLoss.com, and I’ll give you more details on how you too can lose weight. If you want to lose 15, 50, 100 pounds, MyPhDWeightLoss.com, or give them a call, 864-664. I just thought I’d remember the number. Like a dummy, I don’t remember that. 864, where’s the phone number? I don’t have the phone number on my copy, which is bizarre. Off to an auspicious start today. 864-644-1900. Yeah, but it’s not on the copy, which is strange. Can you make sure you put it on there for the next time I remind the world about Ph.D. weight loss? Because that’s important. 864-644-1900 to go to MyPhDWeightLoss.com. And thank you, Texter, from… Massachusetts, Gallagher, the comedian, did leave us. He passed away November the 11th, 2022. So may he rest in peace. And now that he’s gone, maybe we can use Gallagher more often. I like the Gallagher show. And North Carolina, with a very accurate assessment, spot on, a big fan from North Carolina. Don’t worry, they would never confuse you with a comedian. He was entertaining. Thank you. And now you get, block, block, block you, you jerk. Here’s me. I’m sure North Carolina is stewing about Kamala’s bad day yesterday. Now, here’s the before and after I had to share with you. And again, I’m ashamed of how much I enjoy this.
SPEAKER 07 :
And and I have said and I’m very clear about this. Donald Trump should never again stand behind the seal of the president of the United States. He has not earned the right. He’s not earned the right. And that’s why he’s going to lose. The votes for President of the United States are as follows. Donald J. Trump of the state of Florida has received 312 votes. Kamala D. Harris…
SPEAKER 05 :
Her bang in the gavel with that pained look on her face made everything we fought for worth it, didn’t it? Gosh, that was glorious. Here she was after the certification having to face the reporter. She took no questions. They asked her a bunch. She just walked away. But she gave a brief, terse statement.
SPEAKER 07 :
I do believe very strongly. That America’s democracy is only as strong as our willingness to fight for it. Every single person, their willingness to fight for and respect the importance of our democracy. Otherwise, it is very fragile and it will not be able to withstand moments of crisis. And today, America’s democracy stood.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes, and then she turned around and ran out of the room. Look, we all fought hard. in 2024, didn’t we? We fought real hard. We left it all out on the field, and we won. So let me ask you, did you enjoy Kamala’s day as much as I did, or is that a mean thing to do? Somebody just sent me another text from Minnesota. You owe Kamala an apology. She had a dreadful mission and completed it flawlessly. Oh, really? Did she flawlessly complete her dreadful mission, Minnesota? Yeah, nice try. Join me, 800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453.

SPEAKER 03 :
He’s the happy conservative warden. From the Relief Factor Studios, here’s Mike Gellerman.
SPEAKER 05 :
There is something in the air. Everything is changing. Yesterday, McDonald’s announced they’re saying goodbye to their DEI policies. No more hiring people because of the color of their skin, evidently, at McDonald’s. You’re going to get hired on your merit. You’re going to get hired on whether or not you’re capable of doing the job, your willingness to do the job. You’re incentivizing people to get back into the workforce and not be beaten out by somebody who’s going to get the job because of the color of their skin. I was listening to a great monologue this morning from Mark Davis, my friend in Dallas-Fort Worth. On November the 5th, Americans rejected an entire narrative. The narrative of DEI, the narrative that crime isn’t really a problem because Americans knew better. The narrative that prices at the grocery store really aren’t that bad because Americans knew better. The narrative that if you wear 10 masks and get 15 vaccines, you’ll never catch COVID. I mean, they have corrupted science. They’ve corrupted the media. The left has corrupted everything. Like the great Dennis Prager says, they destroy, the left destroys everything it touches. And Americans finally, finally wised up. On November 5th, America rejected these broken, empty, false narratives. We’re standing by for President Trump, who’s going to give a press conference for Mar-a-Lago. We want to make sure you have a chance to hear what he has to say. This is kind of fun. Donald Trump Jr. and R. Charlie Kirk are in Greenland. Trump keeps promising to buy Greenland. I don’t know that the Greenland government wants to sell it to us. The prime minister of Greenland, Mute Borup Agedi, said, Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and we will never be for sale. We must not lose our long fight for freedom. But the video I’m seeing, people in Greenland love MAGA. They love Trump. They love the United States. Did you know that the capital of Greenland is closer to New York than Copenhagen? Greenland is an autonomous territory that has been part of Denmark for over 600 years. But America has talked about buying Greenland forever. Greenland has access to the Arctic, where, you know, nations are trying to claim northern territory in hopes of accessing all the natural resources that are there, abundantly there. Gold, silver, copper, uranium. And then, of course, there’s this talk about Canada becoming our 51st state. Now, I kind of laughed it off until Justin Trudeau resigned yesterday. I was like, wait a minute. Why did he quit? He said, I had dinner with my family and said, I’m out. As Trump is talking about making Canada the 51st state. Which, you know, you can laugh at that, but think that through a little bit. I wonder what the square mileage is of Canada compared to, I don’t know, Texas. We ought to do some comparisons. I mean, it seems like a pretty big country. But Trump posted on social media, many people in Canada… You put that up for me, Christian, because I don’t have it here in front of me. Let’s put it up on the stream. President Trump posted on Truth Social that a lot of Canadians love the idea… of Canada becoming our 51st state. Trump wrote, the United States can no longer suffer the massive trade deficits and subsidies that Canada needs to stay afloat. Justin Trudeau knew this and resigned. If Canada merged with the United States, there would be no tariffs, taxes would go way down, and they would be totally secure from the threat of the Russian and Chinese ships that are constantly surrounding them. Together, what a great nation it would be. Now, I’ve been accused of being very jingoistic or nationalist. I’m a MAGA guy. I want to put this country first in everything we do. I have to admit I’m a little uncomfortable with acquiring or merging with Canada. Or I guess more appropriately, Canada merging with us. What do you think? You think Trump is on to something? 800-655-MIKE. Welcome aboard. It’s Tuesday. 13 days to go before we get our country back. We’re in the Relief Factor studios. Welcome aboard. Call or text 800-655-MIKE. That’s 800-655-6453. We’re also standing by for President Trump’s press conference from Mar-a-Lago. We’ll bring it all to you. Don’t miss a minute of the Mike Gallagher Show, or you’ll miss a lot.
SPEAKER 09 :
Turn us out.
SPEAKER 08 :
I don’t really like working. I’m going to need a priority parking space. I only work remotely. How are your safe spaces? Can I bring my dog to work? Will your company protect me against microaggressions? You’re triggering me. Is this interview almost over?
SPEAKER 02 :
You don’t run a daycare. You run a business. So why use high-priced recruitment agencies who charge you up to 40% of an employee’s first year salary? So they’re focused on getting you the costly talent, not the best fit. Which means you get more of this.
SPEAKER 08 :
What’s your policy on paying employees to attend protests? I demand eight weeks of vacation. I need at least 12 weeks of paid vacation. I’m going to need a lot of mental health days. Do you have a game room? My pronouns are Zs and Zs.
SPEAKER 02 :
Isn’t it time you hired grown-ups? Call RedBalloon.Work and skip those high-priced recruitment agencies. Call 833-880-0600 for a free consultation. That’s 833-880-0600 for a free consultation.
SPEAKER 03 :
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 :
Have you seen the Yacht Rock documentary? I’ve not. I’ve not. Sounds like it’s up my alley, though. It’s tremendous. First of all, how do you you’ve heard the term Yacht Rock, right? No. Get it. Dude, hello. Do you live in America? I do. What’s yacht rock? Okay, yacht. Y-A-C-H-T. It’s a boat. Exactly. You and Lisa cruise around Lake Grapevine on one all the time. On a palm, dude. Ain’t no yacht. But the term, some people think that it’s just kind of a soft term. Middle of the road, not real, you know, hard edged rock. But it’s actually a very specific term that involves a whole lot of incestuous, in a good way, relationships of people from Michael McDonald to the Steely Dan guys, to the Toto guys, to Christopher Cross, who all sort of appeared on each other’s records in the mostly in the 70s, early 80s. And the Yacht Rock documentary is just fantastic. Kenny Loggins is a huge part of it. So I refer that to you. Hey, while we’re talking about stuff on the TV box, are you watching?
SPEAKER 05 :
I was going to tell you about my TV box thing, but go ahead. Your turn. Go. All right. Well, you know, true crime Mike. Yes. Who killed Jean Benet? I’m telling you what, Mark. That is the weirdest crime I’ve ever seen. Because on the one hand, I just cannot believe the family was completely… You know, oblivious to this. I mean, on the other hand, it doesn’t seem like it’s the family that this this guy that this one detective who was a dogged defender of the Ramsey family kept saying it was an intruder. It was an intruder. It was an intruder. They had a they had a window that was breached in the basement. The house was hard to navigate. I don’t know. The whole thing is bizarre.
SPEAKER 06 :
How did you feel before you sat down? I mean, this this is just so faded into the history of the young. How old was she? Was she six?
SPEAKER 05 :
Six or seven years old. And she was a beauty pageant.
SPEAKER 06 :
Just the creepiest thing in the world.
SPEAKER 05 :
I know.
SPEAKER 06 :
Don’t put your kids into that. It’s horrible. And that made people think weirdly about the Ramseys. That’s right. Patsy’s dead, right? John’s still alive.
SPEAKER 05 :
She died of cancer. John remarried. The son isn’t talking to anybody. And that… But he gave one interview post, you know, JonBenet’s death to, I think, Dr. Phil or somebody. And he sued somebody because they kind of, because a lot of people say, I think the son was involved. You know why they think the son was involved? Why? There’s a 911 call when they found her little body. It’s just so awful. I mean, the whole thing. Imagine Christmas, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day. You find your six-year-old daughter dead in the basement in a blanket. The son is he was nine. The son is heard saying in the background, what do I say? What do I say? As everybody’s frantically screaming and yelling and all that. And it was peculiar that the little boy would say, what do I say? As if maybe. Like, it’s an odd thing to say, you know. Why would he ask that? Now, I don’t want to overstate that, because on the other hand, look, there was a sophisticated ransom note left behind. She had terrible things done to her with a sophisticated, what do they call it, a garrotte, you know, like a knot around, like a stick.
SPEAKER 06 :
That one would think a nine-year-old could not navigate.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, he didn’t. I mean, she was her skull was cracked. I mean, she was that poor girl was brutalized and sexually brutalized. She was sexually brutalized and people don’t know that. So I don’t know. It’s just it’s so chilling to think that somebody got away with this and somebody perhaps in America is listening to you and me right now saying I did that. Yep. And they never caught me and they never will.
SPEAKER 06 :
And it undercuts, I mean, don’t we usually think, and listen, we’ve done this from the shooting of the healthcare CEO to various other things. We’ve said, doesn’t everybody usually get caught? And the short answer is no. Sometimes people absolutely get away with crazy things. Well, let me reverse the tone, the head-snapping change. Are you watching Landman with Billy Bob Thorne?
SPEAKER 05 :
No, but I’m going to because you recommended it. Another Taylor Sheridan video. Look, after you recommended ABBA Voyage, as far as I’m concerned, a Mark Davis recommendation can never fail. I’m still talking about that. In fact, I’m going to talk to Hewitt today about it. Look, he’s had me on his show about two times in 20 years. He wants me on the show to tell him about ABBA Voyage in London. Get out! Yeah, he’s so excited. I said, Hugh, we were texting back and forth. Of course, he leaves the time slot this week. Chris DeGaulle is going to be your lead-in early mornings in Dallas starting this Monday. And he’ll be my lead-in on stations all around the country. Hugh goes to the Gorka slot in the afternoon. So we’ve got a bunch of lineup changes going on. And we also have big things going on in Salem world. We’re going to make some announcements in the next couple of days, which are pretty exciting, involving… Some people from Trump world who you’re going to recognize. So I can’t say much more about that today. But the reason I bring.
SPEAKER 06 :
So anyhow, your recommendation is to offer you a recommendation, which I do anyway. Somebody appeared in Sunday nights in Sunday’s episode. It’s the story of Billy Bob Thornton is Tommy Norris is a land man, a guy in charge of oil power. And I love me Billy Bob. I love me some Billy Bob. And go watch Goliath where he was.
SPEAKER 05 :
Goliath, he’s so great in that.
SPEAKER 06 :
So, so, so great. Anyway, part of it takes place in Fort Worth where there’s wealthy folks connected in Fort Worth. And so no spoilers. Somebody’s in the hospital. It’s not Billy Bob, but somebody’s in the hospital with a kind of a life threatening thing going on. And guess who comes and visits him in the hospital? Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, wow.
SPEAKER 06 :
Jerry Jones. So Jerry Jones is in the Landman episode. And the running narrative right now, in view of the way things have gone, is Jerry is a much better actor than he is general manager of a football team. Wow. And it’s true. Rhonda hit me to this when I came in. She said, please tell me you saw it. Please tell me you saw it. And I hadn’t yet. And then we did last night. And Jerry delivers about a minute and a half little soliloquy about the value of keeping yourself in good health and cherishing time spent with your family and working with your family. He seems to get kind of worked up at it. It was moving to me as a viewer. I’m sitting there looking, there’s flipping Jerry Jones here. He is great in that episode of Landman. So there you go.
SPEAKER 05 :
Incidentally, you mentioned Rhonda. I listened to Rhonda tell you the Miss Rhonda goes to Washington story yesterday. And she has inspired me. I’m going to be there next week for the inauguration. Yes, you are. And it’s been a long time since I’ve kind of walked the halls of Congress or gotten the Capitol tour and all that. So Joey Hudson and I are inspired by your chat with Rhonda. When we’re there next week, next Monday, Monday afternoon after the inauguration, we’re going to go visit some representatives on Capitol Hill. We’re going to go take a tour of the Capitol and just kind of remember the people’s the people’s place. So thank you, Rhonda, for for for reminding me how much I love watching the seat of power unfold. You know, I’ve been binging when I travel and I did the London trip. I must have watched 100 episodes and people get mad when I say this because I know they’re a bunch of feel good lefties. But I’ve been binging the West Wing. And it is, you know, I know they’re touchy feely Democrats. I get it. It’s Martin. Martin Sheen is president. And they’re all there. It’s all it’s clearly a Democrat administration. But the writing and the sort of pulling back the curtain and the comical look at. at the west wing is so neat to me and uh you know as a guy who’s been you and i’ve been blessed to go to the oval office we you know you and i may be going back in the next four years um to sit in that room and to see it portrayed the way it is in the west wing is is something that i really do recommend i mentioned it to dennis prager in the hospital that i’ve been binging on it and he kind of rolled his eyes and their their family friend was there said oh they’re Just a bunch of touchy-feely liberals, and it’s so stupid, and it’s propaganda. I thought, uh-oh, I said the wrong thing here in this room. And I get it. I mean, it’s too far left, but it’s still cool writing. Good writing is good writing. Yeah, and it’s entertaining. Good acting is good acting. Good performances, Allison Janney, and of course my old next-door neighbor, Rob Lowe from Ohio. Great story about that, because he was supposed to be the star of that show. And then Martin Sheen emerged as the real star, as the president, and I don’t think Rob liked it very much. So it was interesting drama behind the scenes. Speaking of drama, let’s look at CNN drama. Can I just salute you again some more after your great recommendations about shows in London? How about your narrative today about Americans rejecting media narratives? It was so spot on, Mark. I was driving over the Howard Franklin, watching the waves and screaming, go, go, go. Yesterday, John Berman, the CNN anchor, was stunned when their numbers guy, the data Jedi, Harry Hansen. Oh, yes. They got a board about how they got the big board about America’s interest in whether or not Trump had anything to do with January 6th. And by incidentally, how about the great Scott Jennings calling January 6th the Democrats high holy day?
SPEAKER 06 :
Precisely right.
SPEAKER 05 :
That was so good.
SPEAKER 06 :
CNN employs these guys. How does Scott Jennings keep that job? And I don’t know about Harry Enten. How does he keep that job? Because I thought I’m going to play it in a little bit. I saw his pitch yesterday as well. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 05 :
So he’s up on the board saying, oh, it’s 48% in 2021 that Trump had something to do with January 6th, that he incited it. Then it went down a little bit to 37%. Now, that was a clear shift. Know what it is now?
SPEAKER 1 :
5%.
SPEAKER 05 :
5% of Americans believe that January 6th is Donald Trump’s fault. That includes Democrats. It’s only—I mean— That’s only 2% Republicans. So, hey, Sonny Hostin, hate to break it to you, sweetheart. Not the Holocaust, honey. It’s not World War II. It’s not Pearl Harbor, you nutcase. So good for you and good on you for reminding the world that the narratives have been rejected. And I love the way you said that. And you said it so right about, I may play your clip on my show today, if you don’t mind, because it was the science. We’re rejecting, you know, what they tell us is science. We’re rejecting what they’re telling us about climate change. We’re rejecting what they’re telling us about just about everything. And look, Mark, 30 seconds. It’s not hard for the CNNs of the world to regain the trust. All they have to do is have a modicum of fairness. Shoot straight with us. We’re a forgiving country. A little bit. Just a little bit. Amen. Throw us a bone of fairness. And until they do that, we’re not going to trust them. So, anyway, happy Tuesday. I love you.
SPEAKER 03 :
And I love your monologues.
SPEAKER 05 :
And I’ll tell you all about your ABBA voyage recommendation. Please, please. Take a chance on me. It was a home run.
