In this special episode of The Mike Gallagher Show, we delve into pressing social issues and the festive spirit of the holiday season. Mike discusses the potential impact of legalizing marijuana as a political wedge, exploring how this issue could shape future political landscapes. He shares insights on America’s Christmas traditions and engages listeners with a festive music request segment while emphasizing the importance of charity and acts of kindness. A crucial discussion on the Minneapolis Police Chief’s stance on immigration reflects broader societal challenges and leads to thought-provoking debates.

SPEAKER 02 :
Those under the age of 35, look at that, 72% want it legal. And then you see about half have ever used marijuana. So for me, this could be a wedge issue that the president could use, in fact, against his Democratic opposition and say, hey, you know what? Democrats have talked the talk, but I’m actually going to walk the walk when it comes to legalizing marijuana.
SPEAKER 03 :
In the ReliefFactor.com studios, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay, I need you to walk the walk, not talk the talk. Because if you love what we do, if you appreciate Christmas, if you are in the spirit, I’m going to play a requested Christmas song. Do we know who this is, Eric? Have you ever heard? Do you know the group? Never heard of this? But Eric took about 10 seconds to find it. Let me find out who it is. It was Jingle Bells by, who was it again? Brown Bird. Now, while I play Jingle Bells by Brown Bird, right now we’re at 7,762. Now, it takes a few minutes to populate your donations. We just need a couple hundred people to do just $30. Come on, you can spare $30 to bless a child and give them a Christmas. You can give a little girl a doll and a Bible and a message from their incarcerated parent. So I’m going to be a little DJ here. I’m taking your Christmas music requests. Portions of our show, by the way, I want to remind you. And incidentally, can I make a quick note? Can I do a quick aside? To those of you who have pointed out that we’ve been very commercial heavy the last week or two, you are right. We’re aware of that. It’s a log thing. It’s kind of a way we format, and it has to do with the end of the year and logs and scheduling and traffic, and we are aware of it, and I promise it’s going to get better. We count on our advertisers to support the show. We can’t do it without our sponsors. We love our advertisers. I love telling you every day, for example, that portions of our show are sponsored by Hotel Heartness. My home away from home in the upstate. Travel and leisure is world best. Rates at one of the top resorts in the world. And it’s right in the upstate. You can stay there, too. HotelHeartness.com. HotelHeartness.com. Without them, I don’t have a place. Well, I probably would have a place to stay in South Carolina, but I like staying at the Hotel Heartness. Without PhD weight loss, first of all, I wouldn’t be here. 53 pounds lighter than I was a few years ago. And I get to tell you that it works. You want to take the weight off? Keep it off. Dr. Ashley Lucas’ program is brilliant. The holidays are here. A lot of people are going to say, well, I’m going to put on a few pounds. You don’t have to when you know what to do. PhD weight loss is astounding. They’ve changed my life. If I can lose over 50 and keep it off, anybody can. And we want to get you started. In the month of December, they’re going to add two free weeks to your program. They’ll waive your consultation fee, and they’ll even cover the cost of your food. So just call PHD Weight Loss today.

So again, without these great sponsors, we don’t get to do what we love to do, right? And one thing I love to do is celebrate Christmas with you. So here’s the thing. Somebody requested Jingle Bells by Brown Bear? Who was it? Brown Bird. Not a bear, a bird. Brown Bird. Anybody know who Brown Bird is? We’ve never heard of him around here. I hear it’s a unique version of Jingle Bells. And to pay tribute to Joy Reid, who posted something the other day where she declared that Jingle Bells is racist, we thought it would be a good day to play this. But during the song, as you’re hearing the music, if it warms the cockles of your heart, won’t you consider going to MikeOnline.com and just sponsoring one child? All I’m asking is $30. And if I can get a couple hundred people to donate $30 to save Christmas for the child of a prisoner in America, You’ll get us to our 8,000 child total, which is going to be a record. It’ll be a Christmas miracle. It’s going to be epic. 8,000 kids? I think we’re going to get there. So check out… Brown Betty, Brown Bird, Brown Dinosaur, Brown Bird’s version of Jingle Bells, as requested on the MyPillow text line on this, our sort of unofficial Christmas day.
SPEAKER 05 :
Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh Over the fields we go Laughing all the way MikeOnline.com Don Bob Tillery Kind of like this. A little moody. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride. And soon Miss Fanny bright receded by my side. The horse was leaning back. Miss Fortune seemed his lot. He got into a drifted bank and then we got upset. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Now the ground is white, move it while you’re young. Take the girls tonight and sing this slaying song. Stare about till late, 240 as his speed. Hit him to an open sleigh and crack he’ll take the lead. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay, I have to admit, I like that. I really like that. I’m kind of in a minor chord there, and I like that. I don’t know who Brown Bird is. See, that’s what I mean. See, this audience gets it. Because I want obscure. Okay, so I want it to be a little obscure. Not the normal Christmas hits that we all grew up with. And I think that’s going to motivate people. Where are we at now, Tracy? Let’s look at the total. I feel like Jerry Lewis and the muscular dystrophy telethon should have a drum roll.
SPEAKER 1 :
7,766.
SPEAKER 13 :
We’re getting closer to 8,000 children. It’s just $30. MikeOnline.com. I do have to go back to the Minneapolis, Minnesota police chief. I’m so astounded at this guy. His name is Brian O’Hara. Yesterday I played a clip that I first thought was AI because I could not believe that a police chief would actually stab fellow law enforcement officers in the back by standing up at a podium and saying that what we’re doing to illegal immigrants right now is what they did to Mary and Joseph when they had to be in the stable, in the manger. And I want to play a little more of this guy because this is astounding. This guy should not be the police chief of Minneapolis, Minnesota. This guy needs to be like a social worker. He needs to be a community organizer. The last thing Minneapolis or any city in America needs is this guy as a police chief.
SPEAKER 12 :
The Minneapolis Police Department is committed. to honoring the human dignity of every person in our community. The Minneapolis Police Department does not participate in immigration enforcement. We do not care and do not ask people about immigration status. People in our community need to know that they can feel confident that when they need help, they can call 911 and we will show up for everyone and not be afraid to call because they think we might turn them over. for some civil immigration violation. That’s not our job. Our mission is to keep everyone in this town safe. And we cannot accomplish that if a huge segment of this community is too scared to call us when they need help, because that makes everyone less safe.
SPEAKER 13 :
How do you think a legal citizen of Minneapolis feels hearing that chief spew that kind of nonsense? It’s breathtaking. It’s absolutely breathtaking. Brian O’Hara, and people have called me about him. They say he’s not from the area. He’s a transplant. I don’t know. I don’t care. I just know that that shouldn’t be a police chief. And if you agree with him in any way, shape, or form, I wish you’d answer my question. Do we not have an obligation to enforce existing immigration laws that currently exist? Yes or no? It’s not a trick question. 800-655-MIKE. How does that feel, Minneapolis, to know that’s your police chief? And I won’t even repeat the clip from yesterday where he compared illegals to Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus. My gosh! 800-655-6453. Give me your reaction to Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara, because I can’t get over this guy. I hope you’ll weigh in. Hey, don’t forget, my Denise’s Preacher cookie recipe is out. Every Christmas, we remind you of my wife’s… Bakeless cookies called preacher cookies. The recipe is up at mikeonline.com. Right now, if you want to check it out, you’re going to love it. It’s rich.

SPEAKER 03 :
Mike Gallagher.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay, I have been told this before from our Minneapolis audience about this police chief, Brian O’Hara, and I didn’t really believe it. I figured it was just somebody just making trouble. Apparently, this is true. We just had it confirmed. Are you ready for this? So the Minneapolis police chief, who yesterday said that we’re treating illegal immigrants like… the same way Jesus and Mary and Joseph were treated, by having to go to the manger, be out in the barn. The illegals are just like Mary and Joseph. I just played another clip of him saying, we are not going to cooperate with ICE in any way, shape, or form. We’re just not going to do it. Well, check this out. This is actual fact. Brian O’Hara, the chief of Minneapolis, Minnesota, is married to a Muslim woman named Wafia O’Hara. Now, get this. She’s a lieutenant and reportedly training to become a captain in the Newark, New Jersey Police Department. She’s described as the highest-ranking black and Muslim woman in the department. Look, I’ve got to get through the show today so I can get on vacation. I need a vacation so bad. I need a vacation so bad. So the mayor of Minneapolis, Brian O’Hara, who’s wailing and weeping and carrying on about law enforcement legitimately enforcing our immigration laws, is married to the highest-ranking black and Muslim woman in the Newark, New Jersey Police Department. That’s his wife. That’s about normal. That sounds good. That sounds really good. That’s about on brand, isn’t it? Maybe now we understand why Brian O’Hara says the things he says. The mayor of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hey, Minneapolis, pardon my language right before Christmas. You’re screwed. You are screwed. I mean, good luck. Oh, my goodness. Let’s end the hour on some good news from President Trump’s address last night at the Oval Office. A lot of Christmas decorations in the background. It was kind of uncharacteristic of a typical Trump speech where he was sort of focused. He was intense. He was clearly going off the prepared text, whereas usually he kind of waffles a little bit. Here’s what he said about the warrior dividend checks that every member of the United States military are about to receive.
SPEAKER 08 :
Tonight, I am also proud to announce that more than one thousand four hundred fifty thousand. Think of this. One million four hundred and fifty thousand military service members will receive a special we call reward. Warrior dividend before Christmas. A warrior dividend in honor of our nation’s founding in 1776. We are sending every soldier $1,776. Think of that. And the checks are already on the way.
SPEAKER 13 :
That’s a big deal, of course. And God bless our military. And God bless President Trump for coming up with that as a result of the tariffs that people so… roundly criticize um a lot of people seem disappointed that he didn’t declare war because they were paying attention to tucker carlson here was tucker’s prediction on something called the judging freedom podcast is trump going to start a war in venezuela
SPEAKER 07 :
I don’t know. I don’t know when this program airs, the one that we’re on right now.
SPEAKER 06 :
We’re live now, and then it’ll be posted immediately.
SPEAKER 07 :
I don’t know the answer. I’ve certainly been on the phone a lot about it. I have no power. I’m a podcaster, but I’m very interested. And so here’s what I know so far, which is that members of Congress were briefed yesterday that a war is coming and it’ll be announced in the address to the nation tonight at nine o’clock by the president. Who knows, by the way, if that will actually happen? I don’t know. And I never want to overstate what I know, which is pretty limited in general. But a member of Congress told me that this morning.
SPEAKER 13 :
Really? Now, I love Tucker. He doesn’t want to overstate what he knows, but he knows that members of Congress were briefed that the president last night would be announcing a declaration of war with Venezuela. Is it vacation time yet? That was, by the way, Judge Andrew Napolitano, who has now apparently the Judging Freedom podcast. I can’t keep up. I try. I’m keeping up with our Christmas Angel Tree campaign. We’re getting closer and closer. MikeOnline.com. Look at that. Look at that new camera shot that Christian just came up with at Salem News Channel. I love it. We’ve got a lot more coming up. AOC declares that she will stomp J.D. Vance if they went head-to-head in a presidential race. And Miss Jeannie, the Target lady, speaks out after being harassed at the Target store for her red Charlie Kirk T-shirt. There’s a lot more coming up on this pre-Christmas edition of the Mike Gallagher Show. Stay with us.
SPEAKER 03 :
Mike Gallagher. From the wild world of D.C. politics to America’s culture clash, brace yourself for the reality check you’ve been waiting for. The one and only Mike Gallagher.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, we’re not going to war with Venezuela after all, at least not today. President Trump’s address last night to the American people was basically, things are better than you think they are. They’re better than the media narrative that you’re getting. That’s not a shock. People are looking around, seeing gas prices lowering and lowering. People are seeing better prices at the grocery store. But there are also lots of things that are still too expensive. And that’s why it’s kind of a catch-22. President Trump confidently predicts that 2026 is going to be an epic economic year for the United States of America. He said that we’re going to see one of the biggest tax refund seasons of all time. I know when I get my taxes done, Dino and my CPA does taxes, and we are all putting everything together. I’m counting on a bit of a tax refund in order to pay my obscene property tax. I mean, if I gave you the property tax that I pay, you would think I was just totally lying to you. And it’s a problem in Florida. It’s why Governor DeSantis wants to get rid of property taxes. I don’t know how they’re going to do that. I don’t know how you offset that kind of revenue. But I guarantee you, as smart as he is, there’s got to be a way. There’s got to be a way. I… want to share something with you that is hard to believe. And incidentally, it is kind of our Christmas show today. I got my Christmas tie on. Check it out if you’re watching on Salem News Channel, snc.tv. Joey Hudson takes over tomorrow. I’m looking forward to a restful, hopefully safe and blessed and Merry Christmas with my family. As I always say, the Gallagher family puts the dis in functional. If you don’t hear from me after Christmas, they did it. I’ll be in the woods somewhere, okay? So I’ve got a lot of witnesses. If something happens to me over the holidays, the kids did it. Actually, we’re going to have a great time. It’s just a weird dynamic. If you’re new to the show, I’ve got four adult guests. I’ve got daughters-in-law. I’ve got a granddaughter. I’ve got a great family. And admittedly, I’m not as connected to them as I want to be. And so I said, look, let’s all get together this Christmas. Let me get a house near Yellowstone. And I don’t know why I picked Yellowstone. I think I picked Yellowstone just because of the TV series. I fell in love with the – I’ve never really been to that part of the country. So this will be my first time to go to that whole Big Sky, Bozeman, Yellowstone area. And we rented a big house. It’s got a fireplace. I’m a little disappointed. I thought it was a wood-burning fireplace. It’s a gas fireplace, but it’s okay. It looks like a nice house. Now, I can’t have all the kids together at the same time because there’s drama. And thankfully, the one son who isn’t going to be there is happily married to And he and his wife and their kids are going to have a great Christmas. They’re not alone. I’m sad that my oldest son can’t be there because of his job. He’s got a new job. So I’ve got two sons, a daughter-in-law, a granddaughter, and me. And I think that combination, that family dynamic, will keep me going. sane. I can’t stand drama at Christmas time. I’ve had some Christmases as I open up a little bit here, where I just go off and do my own thing, like on a cruise ship. I’m like, I’m out. I’m on a cruise ship. I love you guys. Have a Christmas with your families and all that. I’m not going to have drama. And Like most families, we have a family dynamic that can be a little spicy. It can be a little tricky. One of my four sons is MAGA. So we’re not going to talk politics over Christmas. Again, back to not wanting to wind up in the woods. But I’m excited. I’m excited to get away. I’m excited to relax. I’m excited and thankful and blessed by you. I want to do something a little special today on our Christmas show. We have a lot of things to talk about. 800-655-MIKE. 800-655-6453. Oh, somebody just sent me a picture. See, this is what I’m upset about, though. Arizona just sent me a picture near Bozeman, and there’s no snow on the ground. Do you know that I actually looked up where will there be snow likely over Christmas? And somebody told me, and online it said Bozeman, Big Sky, Yellowstone, Montana. There’ll be snow. I don’t think there’s any snow. I got my boots all packed. I got the parka. I got turtlenecks. Look at this picture. Those are nothing but grass. Now there’s snow in the mountains off of, I guess we’ll have to go up into the mountains. But I wanted snow. I wanted a sleigh ride. That’s all right. I’m already complaining. I don’t want to complain. All’s good. All’s going to be good. Today, I’m going to take your requests for obscure Christmas songs. Okay? I don’t want to play the traditional ones. And while I play the Christmas songs, I hope you’ll consider sponsoring a child for Christmas. Next week is Christmas. It’s not too late. Get this. We are right now at 7,805 children in our Angel Tree Christmas campaign. $30 delivers a Christmas present, a Bible, and a personal message from an incarcerated parent to a child on Christmas morning. Do you know what $8,000 is going to be like? Do you know what that means, that you’ve donated $240,000 to our Christmas campaign over like three and a half weeks? It’s a record. It’s the most we will have ever raised. And when I think of 8,000 smiling faces, little boys and girls who are going to have a Christmas that you saved, It just melts my heart. If you can deliver 8,000 sponsored children to this show, it will be the greatest Christmas present I could ever hope for. So thank you. Please go to MikeOnline.com. And again, we’re going to play for you an obscure. We’ve got one queued up, right, Eric? And we’ll play. And if you have a request, text it to me at 800-655-MIKE. 800-655-6453. And incidentally, I know I got South Carolina nagging me and Florida complaining about Text messages, I didn’t even think about the Rob Reiner, Michelle Singer Reiner murders when I joked about me being found in the woods. I’m sorry. You’re right. I didn’t even think about that. So thank you, South Carolina. I realize your comments were made in tongue-in-cheek, but considering the recency of the Reiner murders, I think you are in poor taste. I know. I’m sorry. I didn’t even think about it. I won’t joke that way again. Illinois says turtlenecks. What do you think it is, the 1970s? Well, I live in the 70s. When I’m not making insensitive jokes about my body found in the woods, I think I’m in the 70s. I thought it was going to be cold up there in Yellowstone. I thought it was going to be like, you know, The Abominable Snowman. All right, so here’s the deal. We’ve got 195 kids to go before we reach 8,000. If you deliver 8,000 today, that means we just need 195 people right now to pop in $30 to save a Christmas for one child.
SPEAKER 1 :
$30.
SPEAKER 13 :
MikeOnline.com. You can watch the counter. And we’ll play the obscure Christmas carol. What do we have queued up, Eric? We’ve got a lot of requests coming in.

They’re bakeless cookies. You don’t put them in the oven.

And look, if you change your mind, you’ll get your deposit back. But what a Christmas gift. Print it out after you put down your deposit. Put it in a box, wrap it up, put it under the tree, and give somebody you love a seven-day cruise to the Caribbean. We’re going to go to the world’s best beaches.

We’ll talk a little bit about President’s speech last night, President Trump’s speech from the Oval Office here in the Relief Factor studios. Here’s New Jersey. I heard that last night. I want a hippopotamus for Christmas. That one creeps me out. That lady’s a little unusual. But we’re going to play Run Rudolph Run from William Shatner to put you in the Christmas spirit and hopefully contribute to our Angel Tree campaign where we are only 195 children away from hitting the 8,000 children mark. 8,000 kids are going to have Christmas saved by you.

SPEAKER 03 :
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 13 :
The Providence police chief is a Hispanic man who’s now being described as a DEI hire. As Kurt Schlichter pointed out, this is absolutely astonishing. The Brown investigation by the local yokels is a freaking disaster. He revealed yesterday, and this is a fact, five days ago, After the Brown University mass shooting, killer on the loose, they have not yet interviewed any of the student eyewitnesses for a description of the shooter. Mark, now that one I know is real. Hit that one for Mark for me, Christian. This is the Providence police chief, and he confirms we’re still trying to gather the names of the eyewitnesses who could identify what the shooter looks like. Hit it.
SPEAKER 01 :
Colonel, can you now explain to us, five days later, how many students were in that classroom? Sadly, two lost their lives. Nine other men who were incarcerated. We’ll update you today. But can you now say how many kids were in that classroom?
SPEAKER 08 :
And did the gunman come in from the back so these people never knew it was coming? Or did he come in front with…
SPEAKER 01 :
That’s all part of the interviews, and actually we’re cooperating with Brown to get the roster. That was a study hall, so we don’t have the number. We’re still getting information as far as who was there. I know Brown sent out an email to the students to notify us if they were present, and we’re still getting that, so I can’t give you an exact account now.
SPEAKER 13 :
Mark, is that AI? I don’t know.
SPEAKER 11 :
That sadly is not satire. It could be. It could.
SPEAKER 13 :
It could be. I mean, as Kurt Schlichter points out, we don’t even know what the guy shouted because they won’t tell us. He shouted something. It turns out these idiots haven’t even interviewed the witnesses yet. And that’s not us saying that. That’s their police chief saying it. As Kurt said, it’s a guy who is so clearly incapable at performing at even the most basic level, he might as well have DEI tattooed on his freaking forehead.
SPEAKER 11 :
So now final, just for the last thing on Brown and then a couple of other things. Would you say that it’s part of our legacy to talk about stuff that other people won’t talk about or to tread carefully?
SPEAKER 13 :
It’s our mission. Our mission.
SPEAKER 11 :
Do you have any take whatsoever on the sign language interpreters at these news conferences?
SPEAKER 13 :
Yes, yes, I do, but I can’t say it.
SPEAKER 11 :
No, don’t get me in trouble. I’m going to, but then I’m going to save both our careers. The sign language interpreters are clearly starring in their own movie. They’re so expressive. It’s distracting. I can’t hear what anybody is saying because of this amazing performance going on with the hands and the facial expressions. They’re theater kids. They’re auditioning for the New York Metropolitan Opera. Greg Gutfeld on The Five has often said, why are we even doing this? Isn’t there such a thing as closed captioning? So this was a bit of a default setting for me. And I wondered about this. And it’s like, no, no, no, no, no. And it’s not like you and I can go to deaf listeners for input. But I’ve thought about this and looked into it. And here’s the deal. There is such a thing as closed captioning. If you’re watching Landman, it’s perfectly with the script. But closed captioning on the fly is really dicey. You ever been in a restaurant or a bar watching a football game and they’re doing live closed captioning for Chris Collinsworth or something? It’s terrible. So obviously the sign language interpreter is much better. And also, if the person were expressionless… There’s something missing. So it is a little weird for those of us blessed with hearing, and it can be a little distracting, but I’m going to get over myself and just thank God that I can hear and let this go because it absolutely does serve a purpose.
SPEAKER 13 :
Okay, well, in the spirit of this being the final day before we take our Christmas break, I shall say no comment.
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s all I’m going to say.
SPEAKER 13 :
I ain’t touching it. You want to think it serves a purpose, you knock yourself out.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay, good for you.
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, you’re also the guy that defended the woman screaming at the girl with the Target shirt yesterday. By the way, here’s an update on that story.
SPEAKER 11 :
Oh, $7 million. They bought her a planet.
SPEAKER 13 :
She has her own planet now. We bought Mars, and she’s got a whole colony waiting for her.
SPEAKER 11 :
For those that don’t know, a woman, a nice older woman working at Target, wearing a Charlie Kirk shirt. That’s her red shirt for Target. Her red t-shirt for Target, yeah. Was just flat out abused by a troll, and she thought it would be a good idea to videotape it, put it on TikTok. She got hammered. She got fucked. fired, right, Mike, as the attacker. And she also apologized. So let’s go ahead. I’m a big believer in grace. Me too. I’m also a big believer in story. Following the rules, I know.
SPEAKER 13 :
And I had every little old lady in Pelzer, South Carolina, calling me yesterday. They say, Mark Davis is right. They need to follow the rules, and the rules don’t let a Charlie Kirk shirt. Anyway, here’s the young woman who thought it was clever to embarrass this lady, and she was. We can all agree she was pathetic and abusive and harassing. She’s not going to face criminal charges. We can put that to bed. The police said, no, there was no criminal. There was no crime committed here. But she did apparently lose her job as a nurse at some health center.
SPEAKER 11 :
Don’t you wonder about these people? Every once in a while you’ll hear about amid the Trump hatred that’s everywhere. If you have Trump hatred of your college professor or a bricklayer, if you’re a Trump hater, if you’ve got that kind of bigotry and hatred in your heart and you’re a doctor and you’re a nurse. You’re a nurse and you’re going to treat somebody like that? What? Yeah, don’t share your politics at the clinic.
SPEAKER 13 :
So here’s the nurse’s apology. I want to take full responsibility for my actions, she put out a statement, and say clearly and sincerely that I was wrong. I behaved badly. I regret it deeply. I want to directly apologize to Jeannie. By the way, Grandma’s name is Jeannie. I’m the target worker. I’m truly sorry for approaching you at your workplace, putting you in an uncomfortable and unfair position. You didn’t deserve that. My behavior was wrong. I apologize to Jeannie’s family for the stress and attention. I apologize to Target. I apologize to Enloe. provider she used to work for. And I apologize to the Chico community. I understand that what I did reflected poorly on myself and disrupted blah, blah, blah, blah. So, did she apologize because she got publicly shamed?
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s my question. Yep. Well, you know the answer to that. Since we Probably do. But that’s okay. It is. Since we can’t read minds in an atmosphere of grace, let’s choose to accept that apology and go for it.
SPEAKER 13 :
And here’s the happy ending to the story, the GoFundMe for Jeannie, over $200,000. Now, to an elderly lady who works at Target, that’s retirement, Mark.
SPEAKER 11 :
I know. I love that. She may owe this lady a thank you letter when all this is done.
SPEAKER 13 :
I think, well, she already was asked, she was asked yesterday by a reporter, should the young lady lose her job? And she said, absolutely not. She goes, I don’t believe in that. She said, I don’t believe it. She goes, that’s two wrongs making a right. I don’t want her to lose her job.
SPEAKER 11 :
An example of grace and faith. And that’s what people who wear, that is how people who wear Charlie Kirk shirts act. Amen. Man, do you know how much I love you? I think you do. I love you, too. I’m going to tell everybody this year, what a year. It doesn’t seem like yesterday Trump got inaugurated. Yes. Well, yesterday. In some ways, it seems like 100 years ago. Yes, it does.
