SPEAKER 15 :
He’s the happy conservative warrior, Mike Gallagher, broadcasting across hundreds of radio stations nationwide and seen on your trusted conservative TV network, Salem News Channel. Here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 08 :
Look at these headlines today. Hey, welcome into Wednesday. It’s only Wednesday. And I’ve got a series of headlines that I just want to share with you. I mean, the days of show prep for my business are gone. We don’t need show prep. Life just hits us all at the same time. And we get to gather in this little adventure called the Mike Gallagher Show and flesh it all out. Let me just read the headlines. Let’s peruse through them, shall we? I mean, it’s kind of wild. Annual inflation rate hits 2.3% in April, less than expected, the lowest since 2021. Headline two, grocery prices experienced the biggest drop in almost five years. Headline three, Trump tackles four global crises all at once during epic visit to the Middle East. Headline four, Jake Tapper tries to make millions exposing Biden’s cognitive decline after he spent years hiding it. Headline five, Gavin Newsom is running for president as a conservative Democrat. And finally… The DNC moves toward nullifying the election of David Hogg. Now, I’m not in the business of caring what the DNC does very much, but why are they nullifying his election? Is it another coup? They’re really good at coups over there on the Democrat side of the aisle, aren’t they? You know, they couped Joe Biden. Now they’re couping David Hogg. And I don’t mean coup like C-O-O. C-O-U-P-I-N-G. It’s becoming a verb. In fact, Victor Davis Hanson wrote a column about it. Coup after coup after coup. They just topple what they don’t like. You don’t want Biden? People elected him?
SPEAKER 1 :
2020?
SPEAKER 08 :
Wink wink. Let’s push him over the cliff and put Kamala in there. That worked out really well for them, didn’t it? That was a good decision. So if David Hogg, whatever his faults, was elected DNC vice chair, why do they want to nullify the election? You want to know why? Because the Democrat Party is a dumpster fire. They are a disaster. They got nothing. We’ve got a president right now that is absolutely epically getting so much done. I don’t know how the guy sleeps. I don’t know how the guy gets it all in. I don’t know how he’s pulling it all off. But he’s pulling it all off. Look at a post I saw on social media from somebody who’s not a Trump supporter. In fact, this is a guy, if you look at the history of his posts on X, where we love, I really like the whole X process, and we stream every day on X, the show, the Salem News Channel, and we hope you’re following wherever you can catch the show, our podcasts, our podcasts. all of our social media accounts, X and Instagram, and subscribe to YouTube, and turn us up loud and clear on your favorite radio station. This is Arnaud Bertrand. I rarely praise Trump, but his speech in the Middle East is a genuinely incredible one. I’ve been arguing for close to a decade that the single biggest reason for the growing divide between the West and the rest was the West’s inability to accept diversity, the genuine kind, not the fake, the kind sold to you by liberalism. Diversity of cultures, traditions, civilizations, governance systems, etc. Incredible diversity. And kind of disturbing, he says, that Trump is the first Western leader who seems to understand this and to criticize the West’s missionary zeal to remake others in its image. Do you have that accompanying clip, Christian? Because I don’t have the number with me. Okay, good. Let me play this for you. Thanks, Christian. Let me play this clip that Arnaud Bertrand is referring to. Because, again, he’s not a Trump fanboy. He rarely praises Trump. But Trump is the first Western leader… who seems to understand genuine diversity of cultures, traditions, civilizations, governance systems. Look, let me just put this out there before I play this clip from Trump’s speech yesterday. You know what’s difficult about Gaza? We all can appreciate and grieve the suffering of all the men, women, and children in Gaza. Well, you know what makes it problematic? And I’m going to say something that is a very difficult thing to hear. Of course you hate to see many, many, many thousands of people killed in Gaza. But those people all want us dead. Do you understand that? That’s what makes this so complicated. Humanity is difficult. It is so hard to process the reality that The Palestinian people, the people in Gaza, the Gazans, the people who report to Hamas and who overwhelmingly support Hamas, they support terrorism and bloodshed, they want death to the Jews, they want death to the Americans. They hate us. And I hate that. I do. But this is what’s so hard about that part of the world. And this is what Trump has to tackle. Understanding the sheer… humanity, for lack of a better word, of the loss of life and the devastation as a result of Hamas. Children killed, blown apart, families torn apart, horrible things happening in Gaza. And yet the problem is, or something we have to tackle and at least recognize, we just have to acknowledge, they all hate us. Now, does that make them our enemy? Not necessarily. And that’s what Trump is addressing with this Saudi-U.S. investment forum and his speech yesterday that this Arnaud Bertrand is referring to.
SPEAKER 12 :
Transformations have been unbelievably remarkable. Before our eyes, a new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts of tired divisions of the past and forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce, not chaos. where it exports technology, not terrorism, and where people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together, not bombing each other out of existence. We don’t want that. And it’s crucial for the wider world to note this great transformation has not come from Western interventionists or flying people in beautiful planes giving you lectures on how to live and how to govern your own affairs. No, the gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called nation-builders, neocons, or liberal non-profits like those who spent trillions and trillions of dollars failing to develop Kabul, Baghdad, so many other cities. Instead, the birth of a modern Middle East has been brought by the people of the region themselves, the people that are right here, the people that have lived here all their lives, developing your own sovereign countries. Pursuing your own unique visions and charting your own destinies in your own way. It’s really incredible what you’ve done. In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built. And the interventionists were intervening in complex societies. that they did not even understand themselves. They told you how to do it, but they had no idea how to do it themselves. Peace, prosperity, and progress ultimately came not from a radical rejection of your heritage, but rather from embracing your national traditions and embracing that same heritage that you love so dearly.
SPEAKER 08 :
Now, again, let me go back to this guy’s post. The biggest reason for the growing divide between the West and the rest was the West’s inability to accept the genuine kind of diversity that Trump is talking about. Diversity of cultures, traditions, civilizations, governance systems. This guy writes, incredible and kind of disturbing that Donald Trump is the first Western leader who seems to understand this. and is willing to criticize the West’s missionary zeal to remake others in its image. Now, a serious legacy media, a serious American media, would give Trump tons of credit for that speech. A serious, responsible American media would be portraying this for what it was. Instead, we’ve got bellyaching about the plane from Cutter. We’ve got them squawking about him selling crypto. They’re upset about the way he’s decorating the Oval Office. We’ve got Jake Tapper who spent years denying Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, mocking and attacking anybody who dared to suggest that cognitive decline was real. And now Jake Tapper is going to profit on a book that he wrote about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. That’s the state of today’s American media. And so we have to understand it, we’ve got to recognize it, and we’ve got to be grateful that we’ve got Donald J. Trump in the Oval Office. And that’s not being a sycophant. That’s not being part of a cult. That’s being a straight shooter who understands how good we’ve got it right now. And how good things are going to keep getting. Stock market’s going to keep improving. Real estate market’s going to get better. The economy is going to keep roaring. Grocery prices are going to keep going down. Things are going to keep getting better. Because we’ve got a government, we’ve got a guy in Washington… Who knows what he’s doing? 800-655-MIKE. Welcome in. 19 past the hour. We’re in the Relief Factor studios. Give me your reaction to all of it. Again, we’ve got to remember the things that matter. To quote, I often think about the late Charles Krauthammer. Things that matter. He wrote a book. And it’s an expression that I use a lot. Things that matter. You know who doesn’t matter? The legacy media. They’re dead. They’re gone. They’re gone. You know what doesn’t matter? The whiners about Donald Trump. They’re irrelevant. Ignore them. Let it roll off your back. Acknowledge and recognize and appreciate the great place we’re in right now because we got it right in November. We got it right. 800-655-6453. Jump aboard and join us. Call or text.

SPEAKER 10 :
The coming Trump boom, which I believe is real. The amount of tax breaks that are going to encourage development, encourage work, and I think this is a very important part of it. And then, frankly, the cuts in regulations and the cuts in spending, which will create more space for interest rates to start coming down. It’s pretty hard for me to look at all that and not see how it becomes a boom.
SPEAKER 15 :
On Salem News Channel and Salem Radio Network, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 08 :
A lot of great text on the MyPillow text line from Paul in Philly. Why does the DNC want to replace David Hogg? Elementary, dear Watson, he wants to primary incumbents. Well, is that a fireable offense? If as the DNC vice chair he wants to primary incumbents, that’s his prerogative. And either the Democrats will either do it or they won’t. He’s probably on to something, just like we need a primary incumbent of our own party. You think Tom Tillis should remain in the U.S. Senate? Are you kidding me? Did you hear Tillis went after Trump again this week over something? What was it? I saw it yesterday. I thought, boy, this guy, it’s like he’s… politically a dead man walking, and just is going to continue to torch Trump now on the way out and figure he can line up his MSNBC gig or something. I don’t know what’s happened to that guy. He was, was it the plane? I’m sure he doesn’t like the plane, but there was something else he was upset about. And he was acting, it was unbelievable. This is the guy that torpedoed Ed Martin to be the U.S. attorney in the District of Columbia. Tom Tillis is anti-Trump. He’s the North Carolina senator who needs to get primaried. We have no problem understanding rhinos who need to go, who need to get voted out of office. So why should that be a problem for the Democrats? Here’s a text from Florida. The left always, always, always eats their own, Mike. Look at history, the French Revolution, the USSR, China, and more. They always purge their own. And then an interesting text from Pennsylvania. David Hogg caught a little interest before his age group started turning to Trump, especially young men. I was just talking to a friend of mine about that this morning, how Charlie Kirk has, I think, practically single-handedly turned young people conservative. And all this data is starting to be released about young people turning to religion, faith, marriage, Republican Party politics. And Charlie Kirk from Turning Point and one of our colleagues, of course, here at Salem… is all over the Internet, all over social media. He’s so organic now. Every time you turn around, there’s… And the most popular videos are when Charlie goes up against college kids on campuses. What’s he call it? The Prove Me Wrong Tour or whatever. But he sits in a booth. He’s got a huge crowd. 99% of the kids that are coming out, the thousands of kids that come out to see him, love him. But the 1% that hate him, they get a microphone and Charlie and the guy or the gal go one-on-one. These videos are all over the place. And young people love these videos. Young people love Charlie. Charlie is inspiring a movement of young people who are becoming more conservative. Look at the goofballs out protesting Trump in the streets. It’s all aging white hippies. It’s not young people. So that text is so smart from Pennsylvania. David Hogg caught a little attention early on when young people were sort of undecided, but he fizzled out. Doesn’t have any momentum, doesn’t have any juice. The guy with all the mojo now is on our side. It’s Charlie Kirk. Let me talk a little bit about losing weight before we take your calls, and I promise we’re off to your phone calls next. 800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453. How’s your weight? Do you get on the scale in the morning and you say, what can I do? Have you heard about these shots? I’ve got people I know in my life who’ve tried to get those shots in the belly. Every single person has got walked away sick as a dog, nauseous. They hated it, hated every bit of it. You don’t want to be addicted to a shot in the belly for the rest of your life when there’s Ph.D., weight loss, and nutrition. Do you watch Chris Stegall in the mornings on Salem News Channel? My lead-in, my predecessor before every day? Chris has lost, I think, almost 40 pounds already on PhD weight loss. I lost 53 pounds. He’ll probably beat me, which is fine with me. PhD weight loss is a godsend. Three years ago, I lost 53 pounds. I’ve kept it off. I feel great. I know what to do. I’m never hungry, and I was never hungry when I lost all that weight. Make the call that can change your life the way it changed mine. It’s called PhD Weight Loss and Nutrition. Call 864-644-1900. 864-644-1900. Schedule your weight loss consultation.

MyPhDWeightLoss.com. Hal is back from Bucks County, PA. Hey, Hal, how you been?
SPEAKER 04 :
Good. Orson Welles told a whopper of a story decades ago, and he had the benefit of no television. The Democrat Party… And the politicians of the Democrat Party and the talking heads, like Jake Tapper and the rest of them, have been telling a whopper of a story for more than four years about Biden and his competency. And they forgot they were on television. There’s a record of it.
SPEAKER 08 :
So what benefited Orson Welles… There’s a record of it. …has sunk them. There’s receipts. There’s receipts. Have you seen the montage of Jake Tapper attacking anybody? Now, you know Jake Tapper is now… publishing a book that he has written. It’s a bombshell book. Oh, and Jake’s making the rounds, Hal. He’s saying, they lied about Biden’s cognitive decline. Here’s my book about his cognitive decline. Here’s the montage. Hal, this is astounding. Check out Jake Tapper. Like you said, there’s receipts. There’s tape. There’s proof of this. Here’s Jake Tapper saying, A montage put together on social media, ripping into anybody who dared suggest that Joe Biden was suffering cognitive decline.
SPEAKER 03 :
How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that?
SPEAKER 02 :
It’s very clearly a cognitive decline. That’s what I’m referring to.
SPEAKER 03 :
It makes me uncomfortable. It’s so amazing to me that a cognitive decline. Biden embraces his stutter talking about it while Trump mocks it, exaggerates it, belittles it. He’s sharp physically. I mean, mentally. I think the question is physically, right? Right. Right. And the guy who is his chief opponent is only three or four years younger than me. I mean, you have questioned President Biden’s age, mental fitness, ability to lead of those supporting Biden. You said, quote, shame on all of you pretending everything is OK. You’re leading us and him into a disaster. Do you worry that you damaged him at all? I don’t doubt that you got hugs and handshakes behind closed doors today and maybe even publicly some of them because they like you personally. But I’ve heard a lot of really nasty stuff about you from your Democratic colleagues. I mean, just like what? What is he thinking? Exercise and narcissism. I mean, false claims to The Wall Street Journal about President Biden’s mental fitness and acuity. He’s 81 and his memory, you know, it doesn’t seem great. It’s not horrible, but I don’t understand the outrage. Quote, behind closed doors, Biden’s shows signs of slipping. Unquote. The Wall Street Journal is owned by News Corp, which is run by the Murdoch’s. Beyond the headline, there is some critical nuance here. The article is mostly based on observations of Republicans, with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy the only one going on the record. They do note in the article that most of the criticism comes from Republicans. Have you heard any concerns from anyone who has met with President Biden about him seeming a little slower? No. The Russians are trying to do to make us and the public not trust our election integrity. Joe Biden has dementia and all this stuff.
SPEAKER 08 :
That was Jake Tapper of CNN in the past. Check him out now with his book.
SPEAKER 03 :
The bottom line is the White House was lying, not only to the press, not only to the public, but they were lying to members of their own cabinet. They were lying to White House staffers. They were lying to Democratic members of Congress, to donors about how bad things had gotten. And in fact, Alex and I started writing this book. after the election of 2024, and we spoke with more than 200 people, most of whom, almost all of whom were Democrats, and almost all of whom wouldn’t be honest with us or wouldn’t be candid with us until after the election. And then after the election, we found out all of these things that when you looked at what was going on with President Biden at the time, it probably doesn’t surprise you the extent to which he was deteriorating. But now we have anecdotes and facts about what was really going on behind the scenes with details that Democrats wouldn’t share with us until after Election Day.
SPEAKER 08 :
Wow. Golly. I mean, how embarrassing how that guy he’s going to go on a book tour. Again, if we had a serious media, he would be hounded by questions about the way he ripped into anybody who dared question Joe Biden’s condition. How do you think it makes little kids with a stutter feel, Laura Trump, when you suggest that he’s suffering from a cognitive decline? You’re picking on little kids with stutters. Yeah, because the 100-year-old guy supposedly had a stutter 100 years ago. Uh-huh. Nice try, Jake. Nice try. And you know the crazy part? I don’t even think he’s embarrassed. Do you think he’s embarrassed behind closed doors? Do you think like privately he’s ashamed of what he’s become? Amazing. Absolutely amazing. 1-800-655-MIKE. 800-655-6453. Your voice coming up in just a moment. Let me talk to you a little bit about pain relief, the relief factor. People living with everyday pain think they’re just stuck with it, right? It is what it is. It doesn’t have to be that way. Look, I thought I had to have lower back pain for the rest of my life. Well, at the end of the world, it was probably a 2 or 3 on the pain scale. But, you know, I could live with it. But I didn’t have to because I found relief factor. Relief Factor is a daily drug-free supplement that can help you feel and live better every single day. Their three-week quick start is only $19.95. In a few weeks or even a few days, you can feel the difference Relief Factor can make. You don’t have to be stuck living with the pain. So this three-week quick start is a really ingenious way to see if we can get you out of pain efficiently at a low cost, $19.95, less than a dollar a day. And if it works, like I think it will, well, you’re going to pay a little more, but you’re going to be living the pain-free life that we get to enjoy as Relief Factor customers. Visit relieffactor.com, relieffactor.com, or give them a call, 800-4-RELIEF, 800 the number 4-RELIEF. The testimonials keep pouring in from people. George, a hardworking guy, 10 hours a day in a garbage truck, he started taking Relief Factor for his sore right knee that wouldn’t bend. He said it changed his life. He said, and I quote, I can bend my knee again with very little pain. Call 800-4-RELIEF, 800 the number for relief, or visit relieffactor.com.

The Mike Gallagher Show on Salem News Channel and the Salem Radio Network.
SPEAKER 12 :
If we can get a 747 as a contribution to our Defense Department to use during a couple of years while they’re building the other ones, I think that was a very nice gesture. Now, I could be a stupid person and say, oh, no, we don’t want a free plane. We give free things out. We’ll take one, too. And it helps us out.
SPEAKER 15 :
In the relieffactor.com studios, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, no, not the plane. Not the plane. You’ve got to grab that, Eric. Let’s get, what was his name? From Fantasy Island. Herve Villachez. Come on, you’ve got to find that in the archives. The plane, the plane. Is that politically incorrect now? I’ll probably get in trouble. But let’s find it. Find that clip. And I mentioned the plane from Qatar, and the phones light up. People want to talk about the plane. We got a guy seeking world peace. We got a guy rounding up a trillion dollars of investment into the United States. We got a guy presiding over a government that is witnessing plummeting grocery prices, plummeting gas prices, inflation at a four- or five-year low. We’ve got no more illegals crossing the border. The border is secure. Stock market is soaring. And people have their panties in a wad over a gift of a $400 million airplane. You’ve got to be kidding me. Here’s what Trump said last night on Fox News about Air Force One. As only Trump can do, he believes that Air Force One looks puny next to a lot of Arab leaders’ planes.
SPEAKER 11 :
I’m not happy with Boeing, but we’re going to work on Boeing. And Boeing’s got… Some unbelievable people working for it. So I’m not going to do anything bad to Boeing. But they had a strong contract. I wrote the contract. It was a guaranteed price contract. And if I wanted to, I could, you know, hurt Boeing and I don’t want to hurt Boeing. But they are very late with the plane and Qatar heard about it. And he’s a great leader. And we were talking and he said, if I can help you, let me do that. And they had a plane, not a new plane at all, but they had a plane. And, you know, these planes, the plane that you’re in right now is almost 40 years old. And when you land and you see Saudi Arabia and you see UAE and you see Qatar and you see all these, and they have these brand new Boeing 747s mostly, and you see ours next to it. This is like a totally different plane. It’s much smaller, it’s much less impressive, as impressive as it is. And, you know, we’re the United States of America. I believe that we should have the most impressive plane.
SPEAKER 08 :
Oh, great. He had to say Qatar. Now that little old man that’s mad at me, who’s never going to listen to me again for the rest of his life, and he hopes that I burn in the fiery pits of hell because I keep saying Qatar instead of Qatar. Now he’s going to write me again. See? See? Trump says Qatar. Tracy comes in today. She goes, well, you know, it’s Qatar, but the Qatari people. You say Qataris? I said, I know, Tracy. I’ve never said Qatari. What am I going to say? The Qataris people? It’s apparently Qatar. It used to be Qatar. Older people tend to think it’s Qatar. Look, I’m an old guy, too, but… I’m supposed to be in the know here on stuff like this. People in the know say Cutter. People in the know say Kiev. We used to say Kiev. Now it’s Kiev. Oh, my word. So, I don’t know. Here’s Robert in Bloomingdale, Illinois. He’s back. He’s called before. Thinks the plane is a bad idea. I just love this. I mean, let me just start. Robert, I don’t want to put you on the defensive. I get it. You think the plane isn’t a great idea. But can I ask you a question? Yeah, go ahead. In the scheme of things, world peace, soaring economy, all this great stuff, secure border, respect for the military, law enforcement, all the things. Is the plane really a big deal to you?
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, Mike, here’s the situation. I worked for the state of Illinois at one time, and there’s laws out there for getting gifts to a lot of people.
SPEAKER 08 :
Sounds like a non-answer. Let me try again. In the scheme of things, considering all that’s happening right now, are you really bothered by the plane?
SPEAKER 05 :
Personally, I’m not, but you’re giving Schumer and Durbin a reason to go after you. Oh, we don’t want to do that.
SPEAKER 08 :
We don’t want to do that. Because if it wasn’t for the plane, Chuck Schumer would be a big Trump supporter, right? Come on, Robert.
SPEAKER 05 :
Mike, Mike, but there’s gift laws to elected officials and civil servants.
SPEAKER 08 :
You’re repeating yourself now because, of course, the army of lawyers at the White House has thoroughly vetted that. I know you’re probably smarter than his 900 lawyers in the White House who say it’s perfectly legit. But there’s no gift law that prohibits this whatsoever. But again, you kind of agreed you don’t really care, do you? A $400 million plane gifted to us by Qatar, is that really that big a deal?
SPEAKER 05 :
Would you trust a country that used to be terrorists, given any type of a vehicle that could burst into flames? Trump’s got to be careful when he’s out there. There’s bad elements out there, and who’s to say that something could happen with this airplane when he’s flying on it, bursting into flames in midair?
SPEAKER 08 :
Why do I get a sense that instead of having a conversation with me, all you want to do is read talking points? I keep asking you, do you think it’s that big a deal? And then you start babbling about whether the plane’s going to blow up because it came from Qatar. Do you not think our experts and our team of security personnel are going to scour it over every inch of it? Robert, the plane’s not going to blow up because it came from Qatar. Again, for the fourth time, please try to hear me instead of regurgitating your talking points. I’m asking you a heartfelt question. Do you really care about the plane? Personally, no. I don’t care about the plane at all. All right, that’s it. Then that’s the end of the conversation. And I don’t know why you’d call to argue with me when you and I both agree that it’s ridiculous. I mean, people are so silly. Here’s a North Carolina text on the MyPillow text line. The plane is a gift to the United States of America. These idiots. It’s not a gift to Trump. Trump is the commander-in-chief. Do you care that he lives in a huge mansion or that he drives around in bulletproof limousines? I mean, and of course, there you go. Robert admits, I don’t really care, but you know, it’s going to blow up. And it came from Qatar. There’s gift laws that prohibit, as if the White House hasn’t thoroughly vetted Trump. Every rule, every regulation, but it’s a distraction. The bottom line, it just cracks me up. And I don’t even get mad about it. It’s so silly to hear people make silly points and suck up to the Chuck Schumers and the Hakeem Jeffries of the world who want the distraction. Check this out. The Democrats, the DNC, plans to fly a banner over Mar-a-Lago. The banner is going to say, Qatar-a-Lago. That’s right. It’s going to be a big banner that says, Qatar-a-Lago, which is, of course, an obvious reference to the plane controversy. And to hear, how about we give back the Statue of Liberty? What’s that thing worth? How dare we take a gift from the French? That Statue of Liberty, we’ve got to send that back. Send that back immediately. Look, I don’t mean to call Robert an idiot, because he’s not, you’re just not thinking it through. It just cracks me up. And, of course, once again, another moron from Oregon texting me. I know that we’ve got some good people in Oregon, but, boy, you’ve got a lot of fruits and nuts out in Oregon. Another goofball that I have to block from Oregon. Now, we read the Oregon text yesterday that said, maybe that’s the same person. Probably is. I’m a fascist and I’m a liar. Uh-huh. Nice try. 800-655-MIKE. Tony in Downers Grove, Illinois. Hey, Tony, welcome back.
SPEAKER 04 :
Hi, how are you? Good, how are you? Okay, I just want to agree on one thing. They’re worried about a $400 million airplane, and they’re not worried about the $7 billion left behind in Afghanistan.
SPEAKER 08 :
What was the amount of money? How much did Obama put on the pallets to Iran? How much was that? $2 billion, wasn’t it? Yeah, and they’re worried about a $400 million aircraft. These people, again, there’s absolutely, it’s so silly to me to watch people on our side go down the rabbit hole. It’s just amazing to me. Incidentally, a lot of people are texting me about Bill Clinton and a helicopter. Tracy can’t find anything about Bill Clinton getting a helicopter. So I don’t think it’s true. It might be true. Who knows? Would it surprise you? Give me a, I mean, come on. 800-655-MIKE. It just astounds me. I really hope he keeps it. Because I love, you know what, it’s dawning on me that reactions to Trump are like teasing a cat with a laser pointer. And the cat goes chasing all over the place and gets all excitable. And that’s what the Trump critics are doing. That’s what the media is doing. They’ve just got nothing else. They’ve got nothing else. They are more upset about the 747 than they were Obama and the pallets of cash delivered to Iran. They’re way more upset about the plane. And, of course, it’s because it’s Trump. That’s all it is. We’re going to have to accept and acknowledge the misery of these people and recognize… that we’ve got to let it roll off our back. Travis in Greenville, South Carolina. Hey, Travis, how are you?
SPEAKER 16 :
Hey, Mike, how are you? Hey, listen, we need to accept the plane from Qatar because it’s a gift to the people of the United States in the same way. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France, and the Resolute Desk was a gift from England. We don’t want to send those back. Why would we not accept the plane? It makes no sense.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, it only makes sense when you recognize that they’re only attempting to do this to try to throw whatever they can that might stick. They think maybe the plane will stick. And they are. They are unhinged. You see Hakeem Jeffries last night? I mean, the Democrats’ hair is on fire over this stupid plane. And I really, really hope that he gets it, he takes it, they refurbish it, they make it the big, giant, beautiful flying palace, and then the ultimate insult will be when it gets parked at the Trump Presidential Library. I mean, like Trump said, Pennsylvania has pointed out in a text message, no one ever gives the United States anything. We give to everybody else. My goodness, why can’t we get anything for free? That’s what Trump is saying. He’d be stupid to turn it down. He can’t get Boeing to fulfill the terms of the contract on the speed that he wants them to fulfill it. So guess what? Cutter wants to come along and say, hey, we’ll give this to the United States of America. We’ll give this to the Defense Department. And they want to give me a break. Sit down. Sit down. I love it. How about the millions and millions that Biden gave China? Or China gave Biden, rather. oh boy, oh boy, kind of gives you a headache, gives you a pain in the neck. Now, if you have an actual pain in the neck, you know what to do, right? It’s called Relief Factor. Relief Factor is the 100% drug-free way that you can get the kind of pain relief that I’ve enjoyed over the years, been a customer for a long time. So many people living with everyday pain think that you have to live with it. It doesn’t have to be. It doesn’t have to be that way. You see, Relief Factor was developed by a team of doctors and scientists, and they came up with something that is truly remarkable. This is not pharmaceutical. It’s natural. Four ingredients, key ingredients that work on the inflammation that causes the pain to begin with. How about let’s see if we can get you out of pain? The three-week quick start is $19.95. It’s less than a dollar a day. It’s like a low-cost way for you to take it out for a test drive. You don’t have to be stuck living with the pain. Take it from me, a Relief Factor customer. Visit relieffactor.com. relieffactor.com or call 800-4-RELIEF. That’s 1-800-4-RELIEF or Relief Factor. I love Tina from Chicago’s text. Mike, it’s like the game whack-a-mole. They can’t keep up. It’s true. They can’t keep up with Trump. And it’s a glorious thing to behold, isn’t it? Let’s show this great American company how much we have their back. MyPillow.com, promo code MikeG.

SPEAKER 15 :
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 08 :
I want to bring back Carmelo Anthony to the table for a minute because there’s a story that’s reaching national proportions over this suspected teen killer. He’s the kid who allegedly plunged the knife into the chest of Austin Metcalf, right?
SPEAKER 07 :
April 2nd at the Frisco track meet-up.
SPEAKER 08 :
Headline, Texas teen Carmelo Anthony set to graduate from high school. Yes.
SPEAKER 07 :
He ain’t going to be at the ceremony, but he’s earned credits and had a 3.7 GPA, so they’re going to, you know. Well, maybe, I don’t know.
SPEAKER 08 :
That just seems odd to me, but maybe the way you put it, maybe that’s okay.
SPEAKER 07 :
You don’t seem bothered by it? I think he and we have other fish to fry with regard to this young man. Like, is he a convicted murderer or is he about to be in a trial? If we even get a trial, this may have a plea deal written all over it. Interesting. Because his defense is going to be that he had to stab Austin Metcalf in view of the severity of the aggression Austin Metcalf was showing him. Got it. Plenty of witnesses. I think that’s a long bridge to cross. Got it. It’s foggy and weird that the prosecution may not be confident enough of a conviction. The defense may be scared to death of this guy going to jail for the rest of his life. So they may say, hey, Carmelo, how about 10, 15 years?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you for talking me off the ledge on that one because I thought, come on, why is he getting this? High school, you’re right, though. The way you put it, you frame it, there’s bigger fish to fry. Have you followed Tucker Carlson ripping into Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro for their criticism over Trump?
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, we talked about Levin and Shapiro yesterday. I have a feeling your boy Tucker has a different style.
SPEAKER 08 :
He’s got a whole different take, and I’ve got the clip. I don’t want to play it because I don’t want to take any time away from you or me.
SPEAKER 07 :
How long is it?
SPEAKER 08 :
Because I actually haven’t heard this. 39 seconds. Do it. Do it. Can you spare 39 seconds, Mark? Yes. Are you sure? Fine, yes. Are you sure? It’s not 49. It helps. It’s not 59. It’s 39 seconds. Could have been over by now. Cut.
SPEAKER 1 :
Cut.
SPEAKER 08 :
It’ll take me five minutes to see. Exactly.
SPEAKER 07 :
Now we don’t have time for it. It’s time to go.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right, cut five, Christian. Let’s play this for Mark because this is intriguing because keep in mind the banner headlines in the legacy media this week have been massive. Agaworld turns on Trump. Prominent conservative pundits are turning on Trump. The walls are closing in now. It’s all over. So here’s Tucker on his podcast ripping into his former colleague over at Fox News, Mark Levin.
SPEAKER 09 :
This is Levin on Twitter, Mark Levin, who works at Fox, which basically seems to turn his programming over to advocating for Trump. or with Iran, neocon is a pejorative for Jew. Unbelievable. And this is in response to Witkoff saying, quote, the neocon element believes that war is the only way to solve things. So you have Mark Levin calling Steve Witkoff an anti-Semite. Right, right.
SPEAKER 06 :
And again, we’ve reached peak. I mean, I think Witkoff is Jewish, right? Again, but it’s I don’t even know. But again, it shouldn’t matter. It shouldn’t really matter. It doesn’t matter. He’s American and he’s on the side of peace. And so I’m for that guy.
SPEAKER 08 :
So, Mark, let’s let that sink in. It’s an interesting argument because what Mark Levin said, and I raised my eyebrows when he said that.
SPEAKER 07 :
We both did yesterday. It’s like, what?
SPEAKER 08 :
But neocon is code for Jew-hater?
SPEAKER 07 :
I know. These are weird times for some people who I’ve had some admiration for. Still do for Levin. He’s a hero to me. Oh, I love the guy. Tucker has been. Tucker, not he has been. Tucker has been heroic to me in many ways. The last four or five times we’ve talked about Tucker, it’s been because of some weird rabbit hole Tucker’s gone down. But on this, I’m with him. I think he’s got a point. There’s something strange going on here.
SPEAKER 08 :
I mean, Witkoff is, you know, there is a real rift between what we call the establishment Republicans, the Republicans, I would argue, of yesteryear.
SPEAKER 07 :
But that ain’t Levin. Good Lord, that’s not Levin. No.
SPEAKER 08 :
Isn’t it? Isn’t it? Well, that’s what Tucker’s arguing, though.
SPEAKER 07 :
Here’s what I think about them. It’s kind of funny. We talked about Steve Moore, economist Steve Moore, who is definitely not GOP establishment. It is his libertarianism that drives his tariff hesitancy. Right. For Levin, and I sort of talked about this in my opening, you know, rant earlier, Right after 9-11, our minds and our hearts were plunged into the notion of what in the world do we do about this part of the world that wants to kill us. Livian, you, me, we were all on the same footing of we’ve got to go. We’ve got to take a war effort to the part of the world that’s trying to kill us. I believe you and I, and certainly Trump, now look a little differently at that in the rearview mirror. I don’t know that Levin does. I think he views it as a besmirching of the heartfelt efforts that we made in 2001 to 2010. And he will not have that effort besmirched. Right.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, the argument is that Levin is just a forever war guy. I mean, here’s a text as you and I are talking from Dallas on my text line, which I love the feedback. The instant feedback is always so good. And by the way, I don’t want to leave today without getting personal with you over this segment. I got a heartfelt email last night. I read it before I went to bed. and I just wanted to share the contents of it with you before I do this. But the text line is also very valuable to me. 800-655-MIKE, if you want to give us your comments as the conversation proceeds. 800-655-6453. Dallas says, Mark Levin has always hated Tucker simply because Tucker doesn’t want to go to war with Russia over Ukraine, and Mark Levin does. See, you think Lindsey Graham. Maybe not Ted Cruz so much, but you think about John McCain. This is what I mean by establishment Republicans who said, look, it’s our job to be the world’s police force. And if Russia gets out of line, well, then let’s get ready to send our boys over to Russia. Send him out. And Tucker is absolutely MAGA. He is America first, America first. And that’s what Trump has embraced. And that’s why there’s that sort of synergy between Tucker and Trump in a way that perhaps it doesn’t even include people like Mark Levin. I hate to break it. I think that’s precisely the landscape. And let’s just stipulate, we love Mark, but neocon is not pejorative for Jew-hater. That is just ridiculous, and I just am so confused by that. I got this letter, an email last night letter. I got a postal. I got a postal. Myrtle rang me up from the country store. I need the letter opener. We’ll get the envelope. Lick a stamp. Does anybody lick a stamp anymore? I got an email from a lady who said, you have no idea over the last four years how much your visits with Mark Davis mean to me. She says, and I’m paraphrasing, but she said, to be honest, I don’t even listen that much to Mark that much. I don’t listen to you that much. I never miss the Eminem experience. She said, you guys are so splendid together. There’s something amazing. So organic about it. I mean, she went on and on. It was like a broadcast consultant. And it was just one of our listeners. And I hope no one ever loses sight of how much you and I appreciate and treasure. I’m not kidding you. Today was a crisis. There was a wreck on the Howard Franklin Bridge. And I thought, oh my gosh, I’m going to be late and I’m going to miss the M&M experience. And that’s going to wreck my whole day. I just want… everyone to know how much we know you appreciate what we do together. Mark, there’s just nothing like it. Your friendship and this segment is just gold to me. It’s probably become more important than my show. I mean, I’m telling you, take 10 minutes of my day. It sets the whole tone for the day for me. It gives, I hope, you great content. It gives me great content.
SPEAKER 07 :
