Why does the media shy away from labeling acts of violence as terrorism? In this episode, Mike explores this pressing question, dissecting the intricate interplay between political allegiances and media coverage. Through detailed examination, he sheds light on the complexities of immigration policies and their effects on national security, challenging listeners to rethink what they read and hear and bring their perspectives to the fore.

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 13 :
Whenever America faces a catastrophic event, a tumultuous thing, I remind myself that it’s my responsibility to be responsible. But I feel so many emotions right now after this apparent terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado, that I need to be focused. I want to be responsible. I want to be careful. But I’ve got headlines blaring out at me right now. that have a supposed conservative New York Times columnist comparing Elon Musk to Pol Pot, one of the worst mass murderers in history. I’ve got Democrats like Cory Booker doing the Nazi salute at a speech, and we’re supposed to pretend that they didn’t eviscerate Elon Musk for having done the same thing. We’ve got college campuses who scream, free, free Palestine. We have acts of anti-Semitism seemingly exploding, burning down the governor’s mansion in Pennsylvania, two young kids slaughtered outside of a Jewish event in Washington, D.C., and now yesterday in the sanctuary city of Boulder, Colorado, a reportedly illegal immigrant, burning Jews alive. And we’re supposed to accept that they think they’re the good guys. Again, trying real hard to be real responsible today. We’ve got such a reluctance to call a spade a spade. something that is as plain as the nose under our face. Do you understand that over on CNN, they were angrier at calling the attack of a man yelling, free Palestine, and throwing Molotov cocktails and lighting Jews on fire, elderly Jews on fire. You know what they were angry about over at CNN? I’ll violate my rule, my inclination to try to avoid CNN clips, but you’ve got to hear this one.
SPEAKER 08 :
Lots of people are saying lots of things. But when the Boulder police chief comes out and says, we don’t have two plus two equaling four yet. In other words, it’s obviously an anti-Semitic attack and the victims were obviously part of that group. Therefore, we’re not calling it terrorism. It adds a lot of it’s not it’s not good for the community. It’s not good for the community. the potentially targeted community. It makes law enforcement look disorganized and it makes the FBI look so juvenile. Like, why are you getting ahead of the police chief who who says, I don’t know what this is? It sounds maybe it is what we all think it is, but maybe it’s not. And he has no incentive to get it wrong. So we’re going to take a step back. not be responsive to tweets by two heads of the FBI who don’t have a long history in local law enforcement. And we will wait and hope it isn’t what we all worry it is. And if it is, then there’ll be an investigation. But that was that’s like nothing I’d ever seen before.
SPEAKER 13 :
Shocking, shocking for the FBI to say that this is Evidently an act of terror. They’re juvenile. That woman, incidentally, is described as senior national security analyst at CNN. She ain’t the junior national security analyst. She’s the senior national security analyst. And who’s the first place, what’s the first thing they do on the loony left? When a guy is yelling free Palestine and is evidently a guy, a Middle Eastern illegal in Boulder, Colorado, spraying elderly Jewish victims with flammable liquid and lighting them on fire, what’s the first thing they do? Blame Trump. Blame Kash Patel. Blame today’s FBI. It’s Trump’s fault. It’s Trump’s fault. They’re juvenile. Why are you getting ahead of the police chief who said, I don’t know what this is? A guy from Egypt screaming free Palestine named Mohammed lighting Jews on fire in Boulder, Colorado, and CNN is upset at calling… What appears to be an obvious terror attack, a terror attack. My gosh. Lord, help us. God, help us. There is such evil right now on the airwaves, in the atmosphere, in this country. We’ve got a lot of good people trying to do good things. And I know we have more good people doing good things than bad. But let’s face it, the bad is really bad. Really bad. Welcome in. It’s Monday, June the 2nd. We’re in the Relief Factor studios with a lot of breaking news today. Good day for you to text and a new phone number for you today because we’re having some phone issues. But, hey, this is a caller-driven show. I told the team, move heaven and earth and make it happen, and they did. Ready for the new phone number for today only? 217-618-MIKE. You’ll remember that by the end of the show. Just use it early. 217-618-6453. That’s the number to come on air with me, and I want to put your voice front and center here on the Mike Gallagher Show. 217-618-6453. Now, it’s also a good day for you to text, and since we are having some call-in problems, the text line is still working. 800-655-MIKE. 800-655-6453. West Virginia writes, it’s interesting to me that the guy burning the Jews, screaming free Palestine, is from Egypt, and they won’t let Gazans into their country just five feet away. Colorado, Leon, I’m sure Dan Bongino has way more local law enforcement experience than that CNN national security analyst. Well, look, this is what we’re up against. We’re up against a brand of evil that we’ve never seen before. That’s what’s so ironic. The left and the Trump haters think he is a brand of evil that we’ve never experienced as a country. But the truth is, taking the side of people who burn Jews alive under the guise of standing up for the Palestinians, they think they’re the good guys. Let that sink in. They think they’re on the right side. And we have our work cut out for us, don’t we? 14 past the hour. Again, our special number today, 217-618-7000. Mike, 217-618-6453. Give that number a ring. Eric’s got the – that’s our plan B for our phone lines today. And I want to get your reaction to what happened in Boulder. I want to get your take on exactly what happened there.

SPEAKER 03 :
I think the American people ought to be saying to Elon, thank you, thank you, thank you. He came and spent four months working for the American people, free of charge, didn’t collect a salary, made nothing. He rooted out massive waste, fraud, and abuse, and he did so at enormous cost to himself.
SPEAKER 10 :
In the ReliefFactor.com studios, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 13 :
I am really intrigued by the Nazi gesture debate. It fascinates me. Tennessee just wrote a text message on the MyPillow text line. I think it was Cory Booker’s way of saying good riddance to Elon Musk. At least that’s how the Democrats are going to try to paint it. Well, yeah, but if you condemn a Nazi salute because Elon Musk did it, then you’re going to do the Nazi salute? I’m telling you, there’s no reason with these people. There’s no way to have a reasonable dialogue with people who are so far gone. And they’re so enraged at what Trump is accomplishing. I saw Scott Besant yesterday with Margaret Brennan on CBS Face the Nation. Inflation is dropping like a boulder. It’s the lowest it’s been in years. And Margaret Brennan and CBS and all the rest of them promised that inflation would be skyrocketing over Trump’s tariffs. Skyrocketing! And all these numbers contradict the narrative. I mean, how can you take anybody seriously that fails to give… Anyone else to benefit of the doubt if they’re affiliated with Donald Trump? David Brooks, guy who’s been around 100 years, New York Times columnist, PBS guy. Whatever you think of Doge, whatever you think of it, and look, if you don’t want government to be more efficient, if you think that government operates just fine and there’s no waste, fraud, or abuse… And you think Elon Musk is really a dummy? You know, he’s not really all that smart. He’s not that, you know, OK, that’s fine. But David Brooks says, wait a minute, folks, hold my beer. It’s not enough to complain about Doge and the policies of the Trump administration to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse. No, no, no, no, no, no. We got to call Elon Musk back. one of the biggest mass murderers in the history of the world. When I first heard this, I thought, there’s no way. Oh, yeah. Way.
SPEAKER 07 :
There’s folks at Boston University who count how many people have died because of what Doge did at USAID. And USAID was a very ill-managed organization. That’s true. But according to the Boston University folks, so far 55,000 adults have died of AIDS in the four months since Trump was elected. 6,000 children are dead because of what Doge did. That’s just PEPFAR, the HIV. You add them all up, that’s 300,000 dead, and we’re four months in. Now, you add, accumulate that over four years, the number of dead grows very high. There are mass murderers in the world, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, Stalin. We don’t have anybody on the list for America. And I don’t think it’s the same as committing the kind of genocide they did. But by taking away that agency and being at least semi-responsible for the deaths of probably by the end of this, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, that’s Elon Musk’s legacy. And the people who work at Tesla and SpaceX, why don’t you want to think about that?
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, what do you think about that? If you work for a fantastic company like Tesla or SpaceX or any of the other innovative companies that David Brooks couldn’t put together in a million years, all he can do is spout that kind of venom. Elon Musk is Pol Pot. Elon Musk, because some Boston University professor claims that thousands of children have died in four months. Hey, if a Boston University professor said it, it must be true, right? It’s got to be so. No way the numbers are suspect. No, no way. This is today’s media. And these freaks are amping up. lunatics like the guy in Boulder, Colorado, or the guy in Washington, D.C., or the guy in Pennsylvania. I mean, look at this. In just the last two months, people, I guess, that are on David Brooks’ side of the ideological equation, just two months, tried to set the Jewish governor of Pennsylvania’s home on fire with his family inside. Gunned down a young, beautiful couple in D.C., Firebomb Jews at a vigil for hostages in Boulder, Colorado. You don’t think this is a terrorist movement? And what does David Brooks do? Elon Musk is the pole pot. Donald Trump is the Hitler. David Brooks, who acknowledges the horrific way USAID has been run. I mean, you heard him say it. Oh, it was mismanaged. He kind of mumbles through that. So they’re trying to clean up the mess, and of course they’re killing babies. Matt Vespa over at Town Hall says, I’m a little shocked it took this long for a hoax of this nature to drop. It’s meant to attack the work done by Doge. Undoubtedly it was meant to deliver a haymaker to Elon. But they’ve whipped out some fake study by a Boston University professor showing that the USAID cuts have killed 300,000 people in a matter of a few weeks. Matt Vespa says, the smug atmosphere says it all. Some college professors said this, so it must be true. The shoddy and plagiarist infested confines of academia said something, so it must be true, right? Where’s the evidence? Where’s the study? Yeah, Matt Vespa says, I’m calling BS on this. But it’s the latest hoax. USAID. Did you see Bono, the singer from YouTube, said there’s no solid evidence before Joe Rogan reminded him that USAID was a slush fund operation? It was a money laundering operation. No oversight, no receipts. Tons of fraud, tons of money laundering. And what’s David Brooks claiming? So you’ve got an organization like Doge and you’ve got Trump trying to clean it up and fix the mess? Oh, they’re killing men, women, and children. Elon is Pol Pot. So I’m sure David Brooks isn’t surprised at all the violence that Tesla owners have experienced. Maybe David Brooks needs to go out and get, you know, a sledgehammer and start bashing some Teslas. He’s Pol Pot. Unreal. There’s so much evil out there right now. Portions of our show brought to you by MyPillow and Big Deal. Two sales in one.

SPEAKER 13 :
There’s an expression you see on the Internet a lot, particularly on X, that says you don’t hate the media enough. You don’t despise legacy media enough. And I know there’s plenty of good people from all walks of life who work in all kinds of platforms and media organizations. But I’m looking at the stuff that ABC News and the New York Times is posting about the terrorism attack in Boulder, Colorado yesterday. And it actually is beyond parody. This is right out of satire. This is satirical. This can’t be real. Ann Coulter just reposted the New York Times saying, you thought I was joking. The New York Times claimed that a migrant, quote-unquote, who merely overstayed his visa, is a, quote, legal immigrant, unquote. That’s the New York Times takeaway on this 45-year-old monster who burned Jews alive. He’s been charged with first-degree murder. Evidently, the elderly Holocaust survivor is near death. You’ve got… college graduation ceremonies taking place all over the country, MIT, Harvard, of course, screeching about Israel and its genocide, ignoring the atrocities committed by Hamas, pretending that Hamas is just an organization made up of, you know, well-meaning freedom fighters. And so the New York Times calls this 45-year-old guy in Boulder, a migrant, he just overstayed his visa, and he’s a legal immigrant. Today, the New York Times doubled down. Here’s their headline. I kid you not. Suspect in Boulder attack was in U.S. illegally, quote, unquote, Homeland Security Department says. They put illegally in quotes. like it’s up for debate. Evidently, the guy is absolutely 1,000% an illegal immigrant. Whether you sneak into this country illegally across the Rio Grande or you’re on a temporary visa and you stay here after the time which you’re supposed to leave, you are illegal. But the New York Times headline says, suspect in Boulder attack was in U.S., quote, illegally, unquote. I could do you one better. I was just scrolling through X a moment ago, and I looked at the ABC News X account. I mean, look, I don’t mean to laugh. It’s nervous laughter because I want to cry. I really do. I just want to hang my head and cry. Here’s the ABC News post from about an hour ago. Actually, it was at 9.01 a.m. June 2, 2025. Let me read it to you. The man suspected of carrying out an, quote, act of terrorism, unquote, during a pro-Israel demonstration in Boulder, Colorado, leaving eight people in the hospital, is in the U.S. illegally, according to the Department of Homeland Security. They put act of terrorism in quotes. They don’t want to call it an act of terrorism in the newsroom of ABC, right? The man suspected of carrying out a, quote, act of terrorism. Let me ask you a question. Do you think they ever put the word insurrection in quotes after January 6th? Do you think they ever let that be up for debate? ABC, CNN, New York Times, NBC, Washington Post, all of them, they declared… That was an insurrection inspired and led by Donald Trump. Donald Trump attempted to hang Mike Pence. Donald Trump told people to go riot. Donald Trump caused an insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th. And I can promise you, they never put the word insurrection in quotes. This guy, yelling free Palestine, burns Jews alive. His name is Mohammed from Egypt. Here illegally. And the New York Times says, well, he just overstayed his visa. He’s a legal immigrant. He’s a migrant. Watching them dance around a terrorist act is completely mystifying to me. And I want to turn to the smartest audience in America and ask you why they do this. Why are they afraid to call an act of terror, terror? I get tribalism. I understand we’re all on our sides. You’re on your side if you’re a lefty. I’m on my side if you’re right of center. Or conservative or far right or far left. I get all that. Why do… institutional media organizations dance around calling an act of terror terror. And it’s not just the media. I mean, Boulder, Colorado is a sanctuary city. Is it safe to assume Boulder is a blue city run by Democrats? Here’s the police chief, a guy named Stephen Redferrin, talking to reporters after a guy… screams free Palestine and end the Zionists, douses and lights on fire Jewish pro-Israel peaceful protesters. And here’s what the police chief said.
SPEAKER 09 :
FBI is already calling it a targeted terror attack. Would you also refer to it as a terror attack?
SPEAKER 06 :
So I’ve been in contact with our local FBI multiple times. We are in contact with them here. We are not calling it a terror attack at this point. Again, it’s way too early to speculate motive. You know, I know there’s a lot out there on social media, but I asked people. just to give us a little bit of patience while we work through a really complex scene. A lot of witnesses were here. We’ve taken them to another location to debrief them and interview them. As we do that, I think the picture will become more clear, but it would be irresponsible for me to speculate on motive this early on. We’re only a couple hours into this thing.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, hard to speculate. The guy yelling free Palestine and lighting Jews on fire. That’s hard to speculate. It’s very complicated. Now, this is very complicated. This is hard to figure out. Not real sure why this was happening. So I’m going to turn it over to you. You’ve got to tell me. Why do people like that guy and the media and others on the left… and presumably they’re all on the left, why are they afraid to call an act of terror an act of terror? They’re not afraid to call a riot at the Capitol an insurrection. Guarantee you that. So a guy from Egypt screaming free Palestine and burning Jews alive, well, I’m not going to speculate. That would be irresponsible. CNN flat out called the FBI responsible. Juvenile and disorganized for daring to call it an act of terror. So my question to you is, why? Why do they do this? I’m going to throw open our phone lines, and we have a special number for you today. We’ve got some phone issues over at Master Control, but Eric Hansen, being the Iron Man that he is, came up with a workaround. Here’s the number, the special number for you to join me today, and today only, we hope. 217-618-MIKE. Pretty easy number to remember. The text line still works.

But if you want to call me and come on air with me, which I hope you will do, the number is 217-618-MIKE. 217-618-6453. I hope you join us here in the Relief Factor Studios.

SPEAKER 10 :
In the ReliefFactor.com studios, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 13 :
A lot of great answers coming in on the MyPillow text line about why the media, why the left, why people who oppose Donald Trump, it seems, and really oppose Republicans in general, don’t want to call a terrorist act a terrorist act. I think a lot of it has to do with Trump. Sherry in South Carolina says they can’t dare be in agreement with Trump on any level. If you dare call this what we all know it to be, terrorism, Oh, how dare they? How dare they take Trump’s side? Wisconsin sent a text message on the MyPillow text line. I totally agree with that last caller who said they don’t know God. They don’t know the truth. They’re lost souls. Unfortunately, they’re narcissists. It’s all about their feelings. The friendships that I’ve lost over Trump, the people that decided to Stop being my friend. They have one trait in common. And I’m not saying this to attack them because it still hurts. Some of them actually surprise me, but they’re narcissists. It’s always about them first and how they’re feeling and everything revolves around them. And that, to me, is the common denominator here. Finally, from Robert from Texas, the reason they don’t call it an act of terror is that by saying that, that makes the past four years of open borders a bad thing. This is the part that we’re losing. The aspect of this Colorado attack is being one of the biggest revelations is that the guy is reportedly an illegal immigrant. Boulder, Colorado is a sanctuary city. Check out what Paul Morrow, who is former law enforcement, I believe retired law enforcement, if I’m not mistaken, a Fox News contributor, here’s what he said on Fox the other day, or last night.
SPEAKER 04 :
One of the talking points is going to be the fact that he would not have been here and should not have been here if we were actually enforcing our immigration laws. I think for the purposes of the investigation now and the prosecution and what charges are brought, etc., what they’re going to be particularly interested in. Is any of the contacts that he had back home? He’s here now. It’s about three years. So any conversations he had back then may or may not be pertinent. But was he reaching back home? Was he in contact with bad elements overseas? These are the things that those U.S. attorneys that spoke at the press conference and the D.A., they’re going to be looking at very hard so they can figure which way to go with this investigation.
SPEAKER 13 :
That’s former NYPD Inspector Paul Morrow. On Fox News. You can’t go down that route. And this is what it’s all about. The centerpiece of Donald Trump’s presidency has been, both times, has been to enforce border security, to shut down, to seal the border, to crack down on illegal immigration. And they’re screaming and they’re whining and they’re complaining and they’ve got stories about family. We knew that was, you knew that was coming. Families being separated. So if a guy that commits a heinous act, like burning Jews alive in Boulder, Colorado, while screaming, free, free Palestine, if you acknowledge that this guy is here illegally, it makes Trump right. It vindicates him. And they don’t dare do that. That’s the point. They can’t do that. But yet, life is getting in their way. I got to share this Harry Enten. Now, this is a guy, I guarantee he’s not a conservative, but he’s a numbers guy. He’s a data guy on CNN. And for decades, Democrats always polled ahead of the GOP when it comes to politics. Who looks out for the middle class? Who looks out for taxpaying Americans? And again, for decades, the Democrats have always dominated in this category. Not anymore. Check out the shock and surprise in CNN’s Harry Enten’s voice when he shares this latest data, this latest polling.
SPEAKER 05 :
There’s four months of the Donald Trump presidency that you expect that Democrats would have this massive lead on the economy. It ain’t so, it ain’t so. The party that is closest to your economic views, in November of 2023, it was the Republicans by 11 points. Now it’s still within that range, still within that margin of error, plus a point advantage for the Republican Party. How is that possible, Democrats? How is that possible after all the recession fears, after the stock market’s been doing all of this, after all the terrorists that Americans are against? And Republicans still hold an eight point lead on the economy. Are you kidding me?
SPEAKER 01 :
This is a CNN. This is new CNN polling. How is that when we look for trends? How is that trending with other data that you’re pulling in?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, if it was just this one CNN poll, that would be one thing. But take a look at Reuters Ipsos. What do we see here? Party with a better economic plan. Well, in May of twenty twenty four, just before Donald Trump was reelected president, Republicans had a nine point advantage. Look at where we are now in May of twenty twenty five. The advantage actually went up by three points. Now Republicans have a 12-point advantage when it comes to the party with a better economic plan. And again, this is after months of supposed economic uncertainty in which the stock market’s been going bonkers, in which the tariff wars that Americans are against have been going on. And yet, despite all of that, the Democrats are down by 12 points. points on the economy. This speaks to Democratic problems on the economy better than basically anything that you could possibly look at. The Republicans still hold an advantage on the all-important key issue of the day, and that is the reason why, even if Donald Trump’s approval ratings are a little bit lower than they used to be, Republicans are not out of the ballgame because they still have a clear advantage on the economy, whether you look at CNN’s polls or whether you look at the Ipsos poll right here, in which they have a 12-point advantage on the economy.
SPEAKER 13 :
The best part is when he looks into the camera and says, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? You mean Americans trust the GOP more than the Democrats? Are you kidding me? And the lady comes along and says, and that’s the CNN poll? Harry, are you having a stroke? Are you sure that’s our own poll? Harry, are you telling me the CNN? Are you kidding? You know, that’s because the Trump economy will work. They better get that big, beautiful bill passed because that right now, the only thing that can get in the way of Republican success are Republicans. The only ones that can get in the way, the only ones that can snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory are Republican malcontents. And that better not happen. That better not happen. We better get it right. We better get it right.
SPEAKER 10 :
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 13 :
Did you see what David Brooks said, the New York Times columnist about Elon? David Brooks compared Elon Musk to history’s greatest mass murderers, including Pol Pot, Mao, and Stalin. That’s David Brooks, Mark.
SPEAKER 11 :
And for those who don’t know, David Brooks, listen, anybody’s a conservative at the New York Times if you’re not a communist. But this was a guy offered up as the conservative columnist, and he’s written and said some things of value over the years, just not lately. What in the world was the basis of that observation?
SPEAKER 13 :
The basis is that they’re going with the narrative that millions and millions of children are already dead because of cuts to USAID. And incidentally, all of those numbers are bogus. All of that is suspect. But he got on the PBS NewsHour on Saturday and said… So far, 55,000 adults have died of AIDS in the four months since Trump was elected. 6,000 children are dead because of what Doge did. You add them all up, that’s 300,000 dead. Now, first of all, that doesn’t even add up, but 300,000, you add that up, he said there are mass murderers in the world, Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung, Stalin. We don’t have anybody on the list from America. So Elon Musk is Pol Pot. And of course, yeah, there you go. And so we’re surprised when all these acts of violence continue to occur against. Why are we surprised?
SPEAKER 11 :
We shouldn’t be in the media culture. It went with a completely false story. Anytime you hear something from the Gaza health ministry, also known as, you know, the propaganda arm of Gaza. about how many civilian deaths and how horrible the Israelis are. Listen, it is a war, and I understand that, but it should be the job of the American media culture to see through the lies of the terrorist half of that war. So they ran with a completely false story of wanton Israeli carnage, and then I think the next couple of days we get this guy in Boulder That can’t be an accident. I put my toe in the pool of this in my opening monologue. I won’t run it by you because it’s exactly what you just brought up. No, we did not say that the guy who shot up the Bernie Sanders supporter shoots up the baseball field. That’s not the fault of every Democrat at all. But when something does seem to be a movement, when the words issuing from this Molotov cocktail slewing guy, free Palestine, are coming from students at Columbia University, That doesn’t make every student at Columbia, doesn’t put a flaming Molotov cocktail in his hand, but it makes them part and parcel of a movement that is indeed rhetorically about the violent eradication of Israel, and we can’t be blind to that.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, I mean, it goes back to what we said about how their side tries to pretend that they’re the oppressed good guys. You know, I mean, you go down, I know it’s a lot of tribalism here. I was thinking a lot about this. I watched the profile that CBS Sunday Morning did on Elon yesterday. And, you know, it was it was pretty it wasn’t they made a big deal out of the fact that there’s this supposed rift between Trump and Elon and Elon’s leaving in a huff. And he really isn’t. I mean, he was always going to leave in May, June. There’s no real shock about the timing of this. But I started thinking about this. Is there anybody in Trump’s orbit that they like? Think about that for just a moment. Is there anybody that’s close in Trump world that the media, that the Democrats like? Now, look at what we do. I’ll compare it to our side. We do, like a lot of people are like, it’s John Fetterman, not bad. You know, this, this, that Bill Maher really makes some good points. They never say that about anybody in Trump world. In other words, They’re so deceptive and they’re so biased that they will not give grace or quarter to anybody in Trump world. So you can’t believe anything they say about any of it.
SPEAKER 11 :
The first thing that occurs to me about your 100 percent correct observation, there’s an asterisk attached to it and it goes as follows. What is it makes conservatives kind of dig Bill Maher? What is it makes us think that Fetterman is there’s a good dude in there somewhere? It’s because they separate from their crazy, bug-eyed leftism in order to be pretty reasonable, even pretty centrist, populist, even conservative on a couple of things. Yep. Nobody in Trump world is doing that. You know the way to make Democrats love you if you’re a Republican? Be George W. Bush. Be Paul Ryan. Be John McCain. Be David Brooks. And we have hounded them from the tent. Thank God we have hounded them from positions of authority in our party.
SPEAKER 13 :
And let’s look at the Boulder terrorist attack yesterday. You want to know what CNN was upset about? They were angry over at CNN last night at the FBI. You know why? Because the FBI dared to suggest it was a terrorist attack. I mean, that lunatic, the one that disgraced Andrew McCabe, he was furious. He said, these are juveniles that would rush to conclusions. They were angrier at the suggestion that the guy with the foreign accent yelling free Palestine that is pouring gas on elderly Jews, they’re angrier that that would be described as a terror attack than they are the attack itself. I know. This is where, there’s the tell. That’s the giveaway. I mean, and here’s the other giveaway. You know this guy’s apparently an illegal immigrant.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, he was here illegally and then overstayed his visa. So, yes, illegally here.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, he’s here illegally. He’s an illegal immigrant. He overstayed a visa. He didn’t go back. So, and not for nothing, Boulder, Colorado. sanctuary city baby you know so we got an illegal in in a sanctuary city committing these kinds of atrocities and guess who’s noticing that in the mainstream media nobody they don’t even point that out they don’t new york times yeah the curious reporters aren’t so curious about connecting those dots so this is i mean they’re not curious about cory booker can we talk about the nazi salute for a Because this makes me crazy. Now, for Cory Booker to do the… He did exactly the same thing Elon did. And, of course, the curious media doesn’t want to cover it at all. If you do a side-by-side comparison, it’s exactly the… Now, first of all, you and I have given a lot of speeches. I’ve been in front of a lot of crowds. You’ve been in front of a lot of crowds. We’ve been in a lot of…
SPEAKER 11 :
You have? I mean, I don’t know. I don’t know. That’s not a gesture that would come to mind. I’d probably be fairly conscious of extending my arm. Have I ever given an extended wave? I’m probably waving, which dissolves you. Well, that’s not a wave.
SPEAKER 13 :
That’s taking your hand on… Again, it’s like Cory Booker mimicked exactly what Elon did. Now, Elon was a Nazi for doing it. He’s Hitler. It’s clearly a Nazi gesture. Days and days. Now, Cory Booker does the exact same thing. Of course, they don’t cover it at all. But here’s my question to you. I’m in the weeds on this. Cory Booker did that on purpose. There’s no way that’s accidental. There’s no way he’s so oblivious. He puts his hand over his chest. He thrusts his arm out like a Nazi salute. And again, it looks pretty Nazi-esque to me.
SPEAKER 11 :
I think it’s completely incidental. I think we are, and I don’t just mean we, you, and me, but the world is so geared and so primed and so front-loaded to go, Nazi salute, that we’re just particularly attentive to that.
SPEAKER 13 :
But Cory Booker, of all people, was aware of the Elon salute. And that’s why I’m saying I think he’s gaslighting. I think he’s like saying, watch what I’ll do. Let’s see if I get away with this. And he did. I mean, the media is barely. Look at the headline over at Mediaite. MAGA influencers go nuts over. Oh, yeah, just MAGA. Conservative. Oh, my gosh.
