SPEAKER 06 :
I knew we’d have to get ready for days like this, but my gosh. You want to go down the list from the weekend, from the time we left you on Monday? Holy smokes. I mean, it is absolutely stunning. Started out very negatively with a bunch of Democrats storming an ICE facility in New Jersey. And my gosh, arrests ought to be forthcoming, right? No one’s above the law, right? You don’t mind about those January Sixers rotting in jail? And a lot of them did a lot less. than some of these prominent Democrats. But let me just get you caught up. If you’re just tuning in, maybe you were sleeping all weekend, took the kids to the movies, put your feet up. Let me go through the list for you, shall I? Let’s see. Trump announced a trade deal with China, brokered an in-person meeting between Ukraine and Russia, helped stop a potential war between Pakistan and India, Announced an end to big pharma, U.S. profiteering with an executive order that’s going to dramatically slash prescription drug prices. Oh, and just for good measure, got the final American hostage released by Hamas. What are they going to bitch about now? What are they going to complain about now? You mad about lower drug prices, Democrats? That’s terrible. Wait a minute. What about the plane? What about the plane? The plane. Cutter’s giving the government a plane. A 747. What about that plane? Bunch of boneheaded so-called conservatives with their panties in a wad over Qatar giving us one aircraft, a 747. That’s corruption. Eric Erickson and Jonah Goldberg are in a snit. They can’t believe it. This is corrupt. There’s a plane from Qatar. Meanwhile… Don’t look now. But we’ve got, like, world peace coming. We’ve got an end to the war in the Middle East, perhaps. We’ve got seniors getting dramatic relief from prescription drug prices. Trump releasing the stranglehold that big pharma has on millions of Americans. What about the plane? The plane’s too expensive. This is terrible. We can’t trust Qatar. I always thought it was Qatar, but I think the proper pronunciation is Qatar. Isn’t this glorious to watch? 90-day pause with China. Tariffs are being slashed by 115%. You want to know why the United States is reaching a trade agreement with China, which is why the stock market, incidentally, oh my gosh, just Dow futures soaring. It’s going to be a wild day on the market. All for the good. All to the good, right? But you want to know why we’re getting a trade deal done now? Well, it’s because it couldn’t get done with Biden. And Scott Besson, the Treasury Secretary, explains why. This is, I mean, it’s incredible. You want to see the difference between night and day? Look at the difference between the Trump administration and the Biden administration, as Scott Besson explained moments ago.
SPEAKER 02 :
What has to happen is it has to be fair for the American people. But in January 2020, President Trump produced a template. We had an excellent trade agreement with China and the Biden administration chose not to enforce it. The Chinese delegation basically told us that once we President Biden came into office. They just ignored their obligations. So we all already have a large framework. The other thing to remember here, Jonathan, is that this is a pause down to 10 percent. The April 2nd level for China is 34 percent. So we will be working to see where their final reciprocal number ends up. And the negotiations are a combination of tariffs, non-tariff trade barriers, currency manipulation and subsidies of labor and capital.
SPEAKER 06 :
Let that sink in. The Chinese Communist Party knew that Joe Biden was weak and feeble and frail and incapable, and they didn’t care. They didn’t care, but they care about this guy. They care about the new sheriff in town. It is an absolute golden era. And I am at a point right now where I’m inclined to just completely ignore the noise from his critics. They’ve got, what are they going to, again, what do they complain about? You don’t want peace in the Middle East? You don’t want the American hostage coming home? If Biden secured the release of the American hostage, this young guy, they’d be planning the ticker tape parades already. They’d be already having a big, they’d be celebrating morning, noon, and night. Edan Alexander is to be released today. Thank you, President Trump. Thank you. Seniors are about to pay a lot less for prescription drugs. Thank you, President Trump. Thank you. You’re trying to broker a deal between Ukraine and Russia in that horrific loss of life and that catastrophic mess. Thank you, President Trump. Thank you. You’re considering eliminating property taxes. That’s on the state level, but don’t think it isn’t coming… with the sort of renewed sense of optimism about the Trump administration. How ridiculous that you own a house or an apartment, a condo, free and clear, and you’ve got to keep paying the government for the rest of your entire family’s existence. How stupid. Property taxes, a perfect example of the inequitable, ridiculous tax system we have in America. So now, perhaps, we’re seeing… A revolution of common sense on that topic as well. Thank you, President Trump. And Democrats continuing to take the bait. Matt Vespa over at Town Hall reports how Jonathan Karl thought he had a big scoop. Here’s the scoop. Cutter is gifting a $400 million plane to Donald Trump. That’s terrible. It’s horrible. Turns out it isn’t like that at all. They’re taking a refurbished plane, and the two countries came to some agreement, and the Defense Department is getting a gift of 747 aircraft to replace the 40-year-old Air Force One. It’s very public, very transparent, and they’re losing their minds over that. Some of them are so goofy, they’re so unhinged, they’re suggesting that the China tariff agreement is a distraction so people don’t pay attention to the corruption of Cutter’s gift of the 747. That’s how broken they are. You realize they got nothing. They’ve got absolutely nothing. And what we’ve got is momentum and confidence, excitement, exhilaration, a golden era. 1-800-655-MIKE. I want to talk to fellow Americans today who are basking in the glow of this optimistic chapter that is beginning for the United States of America. And they don’t like it. They won’t admit it, but it’s benefiting them, too. At the end of the day, Democrats benefit from lower prescription drug prices, too. Democrats benefit from ending a trade war with China and slashing tariffs. Democrats benefit from all the things that the rest of us benefit from. They’re just too blinded by their Trump hatred to admit it. 800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453. I hope you join us. We have two open lines. Let’s put your voice front and center because on this caller-driven show, I always love to celebrate with you. We have a lot of things to celebrate.

SPEAKER 06 :
It’s really a whirlwind of winning, isn’t it? I mean, my goodness, 90-day U.S.-China tariff pause. U.S. tariffs on China, 30%. China tariffs on the United States, 10%. It’s what’s called the art of the deal. Do you ever get tired of the Democrats rooting against America? Do you ever get tired of that? Do you ever just get weary of watching the Trump hatred lead to the hatred of the United States? Do they have any interest in making America better? I mean, I’ve got to call her Katie from Connecticut who wants to tackle that. And I ask you the same question. Do the Trump haters have any desire at all for this country better? They hate everything about the Trump agenda, including its entire history. slogan, mantra, make America great again? It seems to me that the answer is obvious. They don’t think you can make America great again because they don’t think America was ever great. They loathe this country. How could you not be cheering for seniors who are going to pay lower drug prices? How could you not be prayerfully grateful that the American hostage is coming home from From Gaza. How could you not be ecstatic at the stock market soaring today? How could you not be euphoric over peace between India and Pakistan? How could you not be grateful that Zelensky is going to sit down with Putin? All of the United States urging, Trump’s in the middle of all of this. Our country is brokering greatness. Not only from within our borders, but beyond. So my advice, you’ve got to ignore the noise. You have to. Because you’ll go crazy if you don’t. And let me ask you that honest question. Do you think the Democrats and the Trump haters have any interest in improving this country? Yes or no? 800-655-MIKE. Look, he’s their president. They’re stuck with him for three and a half more years. Republicans are in charge in Washington. Do you think they have any interest in making this country better? Let’s ask that of Katie in Connecticut. Hey, Katie, welcome back. How are you?
SPEAKER 07 :
I’m doing well, Mike. Thank you. Good. Yeah, you hit the nail on the head with that. They have no interest. In fact, I think that their purpose is to systematically destroy this country because the oligarchs at the top who actually control the strings of our democracy, their agendas have been usurped by the Trump movement.
SPEAKER 06 :
You mentioned that we’re the oligarchy. Here’s Bernie Sanders on a Stop the Oligarchy tour. He’s one of the oligarchs.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes, 100%.
SPEAKER 06 :
I mean, we have a terrible connection, Katie. I’m sorry. It sounds like you’re on a speaker or something, but appreciate the call very much. Lee in Rockville, Maryland. Lee, how are you?
SPEAKER 09 :
I’m doing fine, Mike, and I’m enjoying the show.
SPEAKER 06 :
Good, good. I’m glad to hear that. Well, what’s not to enjoy these days, right?
SPEAKER 09 :
I listen to you every day.
SPEAKER 06 :
Thank you, Lee. Appreciate that very much.
SPEAKER 09 :
I listen to you every single day, and I enjoy your show.
SPEAKER 06 :
Thank you very much. Well, you’re very kind. We appreciate your kind words, and we appreciate you chiming in. 800-655-MIKE. Gosh, it’s unbelievable. To me, what’s incredible is we’re sort of numb at all this good news hitting us like drinking out of a fire hose. We’ll take you back to the White House, get some more from President Trump’s announcement, along with RFK Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Maha, making you feel great, be great.

SPEAKER 03 :
The Mike Gallagher Show.
SPEAKER 08 :
The greatest irony, of course, is to hear her counsel and her spokesperson say, you know, this is just wrong because Trump campaigned on moving against his enemies. Having those words come out of the mouths of James Staff really is breathtaking. She campaigned on a promise to bag Donald Trump on something. She didn’t even bother to name what it was.
SPEAKER 03 :
in the Relief Factor studios. Here’s Mike on Salem News Channel and Salem Radio Network.
SPEAKER 06 :
I honestly sit here and wonder how Democrats could be upset about Hamas freeing the last living American hostage. What do they have to complain about today? I love the naysayers who are so miserable and unhappy and they cling to whatever they’ve got. You know what they’ve got? January 6th. If January 6th didn’t happen, I mean, they’d find something else. Look at this text I got from Greenville, South Carolina. I had rather not be on the side of the ones who stormed our Capitol on January 6th and destroyed it. They are the idiots of America. You want to talk about idiocy? Idiocy is you clinging to a thousand people on that fateful day. As if that’s Pearl Harbor meets Iwo Jima meets Hiroshima meets the bubonic plague meets the Hindenburg blowing up. I mean, the idiots are the ones who think that our entire side is defined by those few hundred people on January 6th. while looking the other way over the thousands of people who burned down cities, blocks and blocks of city blocks after George Floyd, or who Friday stormed the ICE facility. There are people that went to jail for January 6th that did a heck of a lot less than what those clowns did to law enforcement on Friday in New Jersey. Have you seen the video of the grandstanders? Deciding to storm the ICE facility? What, because you want to release violent criminals? You understand, think about why they’re storming the ICE facility. Because they are demanding the release of MS-13 gang members and others who have done so much harm to this country. That’s the side, Greenville, South Carolina, that you’re on. You’re on the side of a party opposing lowering prescription prices for seniors. You’re on the side that doesn’t want a trade agreement with China. You’re on the side that wants open borders. You’re on the side of Democrats who want to free violent criminal illegals. So you be comfortable with that. You settle in. And you keep squawking about January 6th. Because it’s all you’ve got. It’s all you’ve got. It’s astounding to me. And this is a president who doesn’t roll over. The days of watching presidents try to play footsie with people like ABC News are gone. Check out Trump sparring with an ABC reporter over this plane all weekend. Oh, he’s getting a plane! The Flying Palace! ABC’s Jonathan Karl had a breathless scoop. And, of course, it turns out that isn’t at all what was happening. There wasn’t a gift, as Town Hall puts it. The media stepped in it big time. The liberal media saw the principles in the story, as Matt Vespa over at Town Hall reports. Trump, Qatar, airplanes, bribery. And just like clockwork, they got the story dead wrong. But as Matt Vespa points out, liberals were more concerned about this fake news production than the new trade deal between the United States and China. Here was Trump mixing it up today at the White House.
SPEAKER 07 :
What do you say to people who view that luxury jet as a personal gift to you? Why not leave it behind?
SPEAKER 10 :
You’re ABC fake news, right? Only ABC, well, a few of you would. Let me tell you, you should be embarrassed to ask him that question. They’re giving us a free jet. I could say, no, no, no, don’t give us, I want to pay you a billion or 400 million or whatever it is. Or I could say, thank you very much. You know, there was an old golfer named Sam Snead. Did you ever hear of him? He won 82 tournaments. He was a great golfer. And he had a motto. When they give you a putt, you say, thank you very much. You pick up your ball and you walk to the next hole. A lot of people are stupid. They say, no, no, I insist on putting it. Then they putt it and they miss it. And their partner gets angry at them. You know what? Remember that Sam Snead. When they give you a putt, you pick it up and you walk to the next hole and you say, thank you very much.
SPEAKER 06 :
Now, you know that the White House army of lawyers have thoroughly vetted this entire process of Cutter gifting the United States. This plane, a 747, to replace the 40-year-old Air Force One we have. And it’s temporary because after Trump uses it for the next three and a half years, then it’s going to get retired to the Trump Library. I’ve seen the old Air Force One at the Reagan Library. It becomes a museum. We’re going to all get to go through it 5, 10, 20, 50 years from now. Oh, it’s bribery. It’s terrible. It’s insane is what it is. And this is the kind of stuff they cling to. When you look at substantive epic news like Hamas freeing the last living American hostage, like a trade deal with China, like the stock market soaring, like optimism like you haven’t seen in a long time. When you see all of that and witness the Trump haters melting down because they got nothing. It’s like the dopey text from Greenville, South Carolina. I don’t want to be on the side of January Sixers who destroyed our Capitol. You want to talk about destruction? Go look at the video of what happened after George Floyd. Now that’s destruction. That’s destruction. I wish they would have only broken a few windows after George Floyd. I was at MyPillow a couple weeks ago, and we had this great day where we sold $121,000 worth of MyPillow products in one day because we wanted to shower Mike Lindell and all the workers there in Chacopee, Minnesota, with love. And I said to Mike, can we give a thank you to those who did so much on our behalf, on your behalf? I want to do a special on the Giza Dream Sheets. Can you give me an exclusive offer?

I love looking at all the TV screens with all the networks in my studio, and I see all green and arrows soaring and the stock market skyrocketing. And I’m old enough to remember that just a couple weeks ago the Democrats kept saying, oh, it doesn’t matter. The stock market is a key indicator of our economy. And look how bad it is right now. Look how bad it is. Look how bad the economy is. Look at the story. He’s destroying the economy. What are you going to say now? What are you going to say now? What are you going to say now? What are you going to say now? Oh, yeah. January 6th. Nice try. Living with everyday pain is like having a voice that always says, no, no, you can’t do that. You can’t go there.

SPEAKER 03 :
Mike Gallagher. Every day, Mike visits with Mark Davis. Morning host on 660 AM, The Answer in Dallas. Here’s today’s Eminem experience.
SPEAKER 06 :
Just this weekend, all right, let’s just take a little stroll. Trump announced a trade deal with China. Yep. Brokered an in-person meeting between Ukraine and Russia for Thursday. Helped stop a potential war between India and Pakistan. Announced an end to big pharma U.S. profiteering. Got the final American hostage released by Hamas. Oh, and trolled the media into thinking that he was going to get a gift of a $400 million jumbo jet.
SPEAKER 05 :
Just another weekend in the office.
SPEAKER 06 :
Just another weekend in May. This is crazy. I mean, I don’t even know where to begin. First of all, the stock market is going to look like a movie today. It’s going to be soaring to epic heights. Maybe that means somebody’s going to buy the condo now. Maybe I’ll get a little nibble.
SPEAKER 05 :
People relax a little bit in that Florida real estate market.
SPEAKER 06 :
Gosh, it’s dead. The Florida real estate market is really on hold, and that’s the way all the realtors are describing it because there’s a lot of uncertainty. But now there’s clarity. Stop and think a little bit about this. Think about them all whining and bitching and moaning about Qatar giving us a plane. I think about that that’s what upsets them. Like there’s nothing more important than that. And, of course, it turned out the narrative was a lie. Jonathan Karl’s so-called ABC scoop, town hall reports, totally duped. It has nothing to do with the emoluments clause. It’s a gift to the United States of America. I guess it gets tricky when it gets transferred to the Trump library. They’ll figure that out. Congress is going to get involved.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t know. I don’t know that it does. I don’t either. The Trump library is a nonprofit. They need to transfer it to the Trump library before Trump technically leaves office. Because if he sort of, it was given to the administration and the plane is still under the umbrella of the administration. When he comes out of the presidency, you can go, ah, now it’s kind of a personal gift to him. So it’ll go to the library before he leaves office. All good, man. All good.
SPEAKER 06 :
There’s nothing bad here. And, and, and, Then they’re reduced to lying about what is getting done. Poor Chris Murphy, that clown, he tweeted out yesterday, there’s no deal with China. No deal. They make it up. They make it up. But to this moment, he still hasn’t retracted or deleted the post. so when they’re even when they’re got egg all over their face they got five omelets on their foreheads and they can’t they can’t bear to give this guy credit for anything lowering prescription costs particularly for seniors think that’s something democrats might get a little excited about no no no orange man bad mark orange man bad it’s terrible you can’t do that and a whole bunch of conservatives are lining up against him. Watch them because they’re the ones that hate him and they just don’t have the guts to admit it. They’ve always been never Trumpers. They always will be never Trumpers. You know who they are. You mixed it up with one the other day on Twitter. They don’t like the guy. They don’t like anything about him. And so they’re never going to give him credit. And so be it. The American people get it. We know what the job is. Mondays have never felt so good, Mark.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s an incredible thing. There’s also no such thing as weekend mode, when you used to be able to sort of cruise out after the Friday show and go, I mean, obviously we ramp it down a little bit because we don’t have Saturday and Sunday shows, but the ability to kind of focus back in and just sort of gear back up on Monday, 25 things can happen during Saturday and Sunday. These folks never rest. There’s always news, and I just love it.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, and then we’re leaving out the rather remarkable scene with a whole bunch of Democrats storming an ICE facility in New Jersey. Did you see this?
SPEAKER 05 :
I did, and there may be arrests. Well, why not?
SPEAKER 06 :
Look, there are people that rotted in solitary confinement because of January 6th and a lot less than Congresswoman LaMonica McIver. Did you see her? I’ll touch whoever I want to touch. I mean, she’s knocking into ICE agents. You can’t put your hands on federal officials like that. I know. I mean, oh, this is terrible. This is fascistic. We’re arresting congressmen. How about congressmen not assault ICE agents? Golly, I mean, there’s body cam footage of members of Congress assaulting law enforcement at the ICE facility. And one of them body slammed a female ICE officer. You don’t get away with that. I don’t care who you are. No, you do not. I’m old enough to remember they kept saying, Cotter Wally, no one is above the law. No one is above the law. Okay, well, now take your medicine. Golly. I mean, look, I’ve got enough problems on my hands. I’ve got to ask you a personal medical question. Here we go.
SPEAKER 05 :
Here we go. I’m sorry. Here we go. This is my weekend. Lean into the camera. Your eye looks good. I feel good.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, I’m doing pretty good except for shingles. You know, when I got the eye at last week, my doctor terrified me. He said, well, I sure hope it isn’t shingles. I went, oh, Lord, don’t say that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Have you gotten the – he’ll start a talk show right now. Have you gotten the shingles shot?
SPEAKER 06 :
We have two talk shows to do in five minutes. Number one, the shingles shots. And number two, property taxes. Because you gave me a great topic, a conversation starter on Friday when you brilliantly posted – philosophically how ridiculous it is that you can own your own property free and clear, but keep paying the government for it for the rest of your life and your kids’ life. You don’t own your home. Ridiculous. But let me go back to the shingles first.
SPEAKER 04 :
Enough about me. Let’s talk about me.
SPEAKER 06 :
Exactly. So my doctor, Dr. Feelgood, forgot to give me the second round of the shingles shot. So in December of 2022, I got round one. Well, they forgot to notify me. Of course, dummy Mike, I forgot too. I didn’t get the second dose. You’re supposed to get two doses of the shingles shots. You’re not supposed to get one, right? Right. Well, I forgot the second one. So now, about a year or two ago, do you remember when I got that horrible thing on my foot? I got this rash on my foot that was like, I think it was shingles. It hurt. It was gout or something. It was horrible. But I think it was shingles. But I only had one dose. So now I get this scare the other day. I’m thinking, do I go back and do I start over and get both rounds? Do I get round one? Because you’re supposed to wait four to six months after the first one to get the second one.
SPEAKER 05 :
Isn’t there a medical opinion on this? You’re sitting around spinning a wheel on it. Isn’t there a doctor that has advice?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, I got the medical advice. You ready?
SPEAKER 05 :
And it is? I’m not sure.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m not sure. They said, well, there’s not really any data that says. But I’m also a little skittish about vaccines. Well, aren’t we all? Right?
SPEAKER 05 :
I mean, what about you? Did you get your shingles shot? Yes. Both of them?
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes. You and Lisa both got both. Yes. And you got to get them because you don’t want shingles. Trust me. No, you shouldn’t.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s a thing.
SPEAKER 06 :
What’s the TV commercial? Shingles don’t care. Yeah.
SPEAKER 05 :
It hurts.
SPEAKER 06 :
But I’m afraid if I get a second one after getting one already, I’m going to have three. I’m afraid my left arm is going to fall off.
SPEAKER 05 :
I think this is one of those that’s been around for quite a while. I think you’re good here.
SPEAKER 06 :
You would get both?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 06 :
Because here’s what the doctor said. He goes, even though it’s been since December of 2022, I think you can get the second dose technically now. I think. And you’re good. Okay. I don’t think I’m good.

While so many others use chemicals and additives, Balance of Nature is made solely from whole food ingredients.

Balance in Nature packs a nutritional punch, and that’s the whole reason for taking Balance in Nature, getting the most nutrition for the sake of your health.
