SPEAKER 10 :
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 12 :
It’s been quite a weekend. We have a ton of breaking news to share with you. Of course, we’re six months into Trump’s second presidency. As Mark Thiessen writes over at the Washington Post, Trump has been on an amazing run. I’m not sure we’ve ever experienced the kind of accomplishments, achievements and policy victories that we’ve been witnessing for the last six months. And it’s quite a list. But the Democrats are not, of course, going to go down without a fight. There’s huge news from Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, about the role that the Obama administration played with regards to the debunked Russia collusion narrative that Russia helped get Trump elected in 2016. I’ve got to give you an update on that. There are all kinds of updates. A lot of stuff is breaking, but I’ve got to take you to Florida. And I want to start with our newsman, Roger P. Shulman, who knows Florida like the back of his hand. He’s been covering Florida politics and news for many, many years. The story from Axios, Axios.com, Axios Tampa Bay, made me think I was completely suffering from a stroke. The article complains about Alligator Alcatraz, and Roger, we know by now that Alligator Alcatraz is this facility in the Everglades, right, that the federal government, in cooperation with Florida, has installed to house the illegals before they get deported, right?
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s exactly correct.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay. I don’t know how familiar you are, how much you watch or read Axios, but while complaining about the fact, according to the Axios article today, that alligators don’t really like to eat people, there’s a new twist on the opposition. Share with us what the latest complaint is, at least from Axios, about alligator alcatraz.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, that alligators are racist. This is kind of a ridiculous level of discourse that has been brought up. The Democrats do not like alligator Alcatraz at all. And an alligator expert says the idea that alligators lust for human flesh is rooted in racism. Dating back to Jim Crow and tourists could buy postcards illustrating black children as gator bait. Now, we did have some very bad times in the racist era, but the idea around alligators being inherently dangerous, according to Mark Ashera, a wildlife expert, is wrong. I tend to disagree. Alligators are quite dangerous. They do attack people and dogs and anything else if they’re hungry. If they’re hungry. Maybe it depends on whether they’ve eaten or not. Yes. Now, the false but racist belief that alligators inherently like the taste of black fresh flesh proliferated in the South. It was just one of these racist myths. Alligators like any flesh. They like dogs. They like cats. They like you. They like me. If we happen to be there in the wrong place at the wrong time.
SPEAKER 12 :
And they’ll make excellent guards. Not according to Axios. They prefer apparently black children as gator bait, according to the Jim Crow era. And therefore, I mean, I’m not kidding you, Roger. You’ve been a newsman a long time. I know I don’t want to ask you to rip into fellow journalists, but this is an actual article at Axios Tampa Bay. A woman named Catherine Varn headline alligator Alcatraz leans on myth steeped in racism. The fact is the alligator lusting for human flesh. rooted in racism, dating back to Jim Crow, and they include a postcard in the article, Roger, of little black kids sitting on the bank, and they’re portrayed as gator bait. I mean, Roger, you can’t make this stuff up.
SPEAKER 16 :
No, and the people who are in Alligator Alcatraz are of a variety of races, most of them white, Hispanics who are going back to their countries, and they will bite them or anybody else. You and I were talking about going down there and checking the security and maybe having me go in the water and see how bad it is, but… No, alligators will eat you whether you’re fat, thin, white, black, any race. If they’re hungry, they’re very, very dangerous.
SPEAKER 12 :
And you can confirm that. As a decades-long Florida newsman, just to confirm, there are numerous examples, news stories of alligators. attacking humans, correct? And dogs.
SPEAKER 16 :
And most of the humans they attack. Yes, there are. And most of the humans they attack happen to be white.
SPEAKER 12 :
Thank you, Roger. I appreciate it. Roger P. Shulman, I’m telling you, we’re stepping into a level of madness that is unprecedented. I’m not kidding you. Key to the marketing ploy, they write at Axios, underpinning Florida’s detention camp in the Everglades is the alligator, portrayed by Republican leaders as a bloodthirsty prison guard ready to attack anyone who escapes. Nothing about that portrayal is accurate. Experts in alligator biology and history tell Axios. And not only is it inaccurate, they don’t really want to eat people and dogs and stuff. The idea of the alligator lusting for human flesh rooted in racism, the idea as ferocious human-eating beasts dates back to accounts from William Bartram, a naturalist from Philadelphia, who in the late 18th century traveled to the southeast. And there’s the myth that The belief that, the false racist belief that alligators like the taste of black flesh. Oh boy. I’m telling you, we need like, we need, I’m going to make one trip. We’re going to load up the buses and we’re going to make it to the border. We can make it to the border by midnight. We can. And we have to. I posted that over the weekend when I read about the incumbent in Minneapolis, Jacob Frye. Are you ready for that? Now, we got Mamdani in New York, right? Now you’ve got State Senator Omar Fatah. He won at least 60% of the Minneapolis… Democrat delegate vote Saturday, defeating the incumbent mayor. I guess he’s not woke enough. They’ve got to go to this guy who’s born in D.C. but clearly Somalian and has talked about wanting Minneapolis to be like Somalia. And he’s going to be the Democrat mayor in Minneapolis. This is the first defeat of a mayoral candidate incumbent in 16 years. Fatah won by a clear visual vote of delegates holding up their badges. Do you know about Omar Fatah? He makes… Joe Ron, or what’s his first name? I’m drawing a blank on his name. What’s his first name? Zoran. He makes Zoran Mamdani look like Dan Bongino. This guy, Omar Fattah, this is happening in blue cities now all over the country. And I think I know why. And I’m going to share with you a theory as to why this is happening. I believe that blue cities are going to elect some of the most radical… far left lunatics possible and i think i figured out why that and a whole lot more as we welcome you into a monday july 21st holy cow i’ve got some great news to share with you about our food for the poor campaign to help the texas flood victims we’ve got some challenging news to share with one another the only news i want is to see my phones light up like a little christmas tree join us 800-655-MIKE will put your voice front and center here in the Relief Factor Studios. 800-655-MIKE, 800-655-6453.

SPEAKER 14 :
It’s not happening.
SPEAKER 10 :
In the ReliefFactor.com studios, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 12 :
Poll after poll shows that Trump’s support among Republicans continues to skyrocket, and I’m convinced that the reason for that is that Republicans aren’t being fooled by the distractions. All of this, there’s so much noise right now, and there are so many distractions. But the things that matter, matter more. to normal Americans, most of whom happen to be Republicans. For example, over the weekend came this bombshell. And this is a story that is so important. This is a story that is so crucial. There are people who believe that Barack Obama and everybody involving the Russian collusion… scheme should be in prison in fact Trump himself even posted or the Trump administration posted a AI video of Barack Obama being handcuffed and escorted out of the Oval Office in front of a smiling Donald Trump but the story is not AI it’s not a meme it’s not a joke this is very real the Obama administration knew, according to Tulsi Gabbard and the Trump administration, in this bombshell document that was released after we got off the air Friday, the Obama administration knew before and after the 2016 election that Russia did not affect the votes outcome through cyber attacks. Here’s the way it was reported Friday night on Fox News Channel’s special report with Bret Baier.
SPEAKER 11 :
The potential blockbuster scandal from documents released by the director of national intelligence today. Fox News Digital reporting the Obama administration allegedly manufactured and politicized intelligence to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election. This reportedly happened despite intelligence stating otherwise. Chief Washington correspondent Mike Emanuel has some stunning details tonight. Looking into it, this release today. Good evening, Mike. Brett, good evening to you.
SPEAKER 01 :
DNI Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents today from before and after the 2016 election, promising they would show the American people how intelligence was politicized and weaponized by some key figures in the Obama administration. She talks about it in an interview airing on Hannity this evening.
SPEAKER 09 :
You have some of the most powerful people in our country directly leading at the helm, President Obama and his senior most national security cabinet, essentially making a very intentional decision to create this manufactured, politicized piece of intelligence.
SPEAKER 01 :
According to the documents, August 31st, 2016, a Homeland Security official tells then DNI James Clapper that there was, quote, no indication of a Russian threat to directly manipulate the actual vote count. On September 9th, 2016, officials argue the presidential daily brief should make clear that Russia, quote, probably is not trying to influence the election by using cyber means to target election infrastructure. Then after the election, the tone appears to change. On December 9th, 2016, the documents revealed the Obama White House held a National Security Council Principals Committee meeting on a sensitive topic. It included then-DNI James Clapper, John Brennan, the CIA director, Susan Rice, who was National Security Advisor, Andrew McCabe from the FBI, and others. After that, an email came out to Intelligence Committee leaders from an aide to Clapper saying the intelligence community was prepared to produce
SPEAKER 12 :
What happened? We lose the video? I guess we lost the video there at the end. But that’s part of a report on Fox News Channel. Now, I’m not trying to pick a fight with you if you’re upset about the Epstein scandal. Don’t you think that treason is a little more important than this dead, degenerate Jeffrey Epstein? This may be why the media and the Democrats are whipped up into such a frenzy over Epstein, because they don’t want anybody to pay attention to what is quite possibly an administration that was doing everything it could to subvert the will of the American people, undermining Undermining our democratic republic and enacting what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump and his administration. The first four years of the first term of Trump’s presidency, his first term was hampered and hamstrung and clouded by the claims of Russian collusion. Jesse Waters broke it down this way on Fox News Friday night.
SPEAKER 06 :
We just got a peek inside Obama’s black book, and it turns out Barack knew the Russia hoax was a hoax all along, but pushed it anyway to sabotage the Trump presidency. DNI Tulsi Gabbard declassifying pages and pages of documents showing Obama’s intel guys briefed him just weeks after the 16 election that the Russians didn’t actually sway the election. Quote, we assess that Russian and criminal actors did not impact the recent U.S. election results. Criminal activity also failed to reach the scale and sophistication necessary to change election outcomes. But Obama just couldn’t accept that. So he and his staff instructed intel agencies to cook up new reports to support Russia collusion. After the meetings, Clapper’s executive assistant emailed intelligence community leaders, tasking them to create a new intelligence community assessment per the president’s request that detailed the tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 16 election. Tulsi Gabbard described what she found as a conspiracy to subvert the will of the American people. And she says the people involved should be prosecuted and has made a criminal referral to the Department of Justice. We knew Hillary created the dossier, and now we have proof that Barack was calling the shots and the documents to prove it.
SPEAKER 12 :
Do you realize how big this is? You know what frustrates me is the initial, immediate, instinctive reaction from people who I know and trust is, ah, nothing will happen. Ah, Obama will get away with it. Ah, Hillary, that’s okay. Brennan, Clapper, they’ll get away with it. There won’t be any accountability. I don’t think so. I don’t think so. A rather cynical friend of mine said, after the way that Pam Bondi mishandled the Epstein case. Now, that’s my friend’s words, not mine. I’m not fully convinced that she mishandled anything. I think she did, but I can’t be sure. But this friend of mine, real plugged into politics, said to me quite confidently, after the way the administration mishandled the Epstein story, you can bet your bottom dollar they’re going to go after the culprits of the Russian collusion hoax. with both guns, with both barrels blazing. They will absolutely hold a number of people accountable for what could have likely been, if this is true, treason. This is a treasonous conspiracy. This is Obama and his senior national security team subverting the will of the American people. And spending years with a coup against Donald Trump. This is massive. And I get annoyed. I brought this up to a friend of mine this morning. I won’t mention any names. Mark Davis. Mark was like, ah, nothing will happen. Nobody’s going to… They’re not going to string. They’re not. But might he be facing… I get that there’s a great degree of presidential immunity. Does it include something this massive? Could Barack Obama be facing prosecution? Over the weekend, President Trump rather playfully posted an AI scene depicting Obama saying, being taken out of the White House in handcuffs. You’ve got to see this clip. It’s funny. I mean, it’s not real, but if you haven’t seen the clip, of Obama and Trump sitting together in the Oval Office and the feds coming in and wrestling Obama to the ground and putting him in handcuffs and leading him out with Trump smiling, you’ve got to see this. It’s hysterical. I mean, it’s terrifying because it looks so real. If you want to see that video that Trump released, and we’ll get it to Christian here in just a moment. We’ve got some technical problems going on, I think, so we’re a little behind the eight ball. But, Tracy, if you can make sure Christian has that video too, please, so we can post that on Salem News Channel. It’s hysterical. But if you want to get a clip of it on the MyPillow text line, just text the keyword treason to 800-655-MIKE, and we’ll send you back the AI scene depicting Donald Trump being taken out of the Oval Office in handcuffs. It’s wild. It’s wild. 800-655-MIKE. What an incredible story this is. And this is the story that every American should be talking about, and certainly one that we’re talking about as well here on the Mike Gallagher Show. Give me your reaction to this bombshell from the Trump administration about Barack Obama and his senior intelligence team. This is pretty epic. 800-655-MICHAEL. We’ll see what you think. We’re partnering with our friends at the nonprofit relief agency, Food for the Poor, and rushing emergency relief kits to these flood-ravaged part of the world. 128 people confirmed dead. Many, many more are still missing. As you know, President Trump and the First Lady visited the flood zone in Texas over the weekend. As you can hear, he was pretty emotional. You can hear in the sound of his voice about what he witnessed. They lost everything.
SPEAKER 11 :
Their child or two children and just hard to believe what I’ve never seen anything like it. A little narrow river that becomes a monster.
SPEAKER 12 :
Now, as the president observed, we’re all grieving. We’re we’re we’re. There’s been such a terrible loss of life. Entire communities are still being impacted. There are flooded out homes. There are closed businesses. And there are many still displaced, and they desperately need your help. Now, there is a Help Texas banner on my website, MikeOnline.com, where you can make a secure online donation. Please help us rush emergency relief kits to Texas. These kits contain tarps. hygiene items, diapers, children’s activity materials, and other essentials needed to ease the crisis for these poor people. Food for the Poor, in coordination with a trusted partner in San Antonio, has responded to the central Texas flooding. Nobody responds like the Mike Gallagher audience. Right now, already $13,000 in the first day or two. of donations have come in. We have a sort of an unofficial goal of 40,000. In my heart of hearts, we’ll soar past that goal. Let’s support our fellow Americans. Let’s support the Texans who have been through so much. Please go to mikeonline.com and click on the Help Texas banner. You can also phone in your donation. And a lot of people do that. Just call 844-860-HOPE. That’s 844-860-4673. Thank you for supporting these poor families who’ve been through so much. Let’s get emergency relief kits to as many people as we can, and let’s make sure that the Mike Gallagher Show once again is the torchbearer. the leader in sending as many materials as possible to these poor people.

SPEAKER 10 :
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 12 :
There’s a ton of breaking news stories. There’s all kinds of news out of Minneapolis. There’s a new kid in town, a guy, a Somalian named Omar Fattah. Apparently, Democrats aren’t content with just Zoran Mamdani in New York. Now they’re looking at transforming Minneapolis. And this guy is going to apparently be the Democrat nominee for mayor, and you ought to get a load of this guy. You think Zoran Mamdani is bad? Oh, boy. Did you hear about the illegal who shot an ICE agent in the face? The guy that shot the ICE agent apparently been arrested over and over and over again. There’s a lot. And, of course, the Epstein story and the guy that got caught on the KISS cam at the Coldplay concert, he wound up resigning from his position in disgrace. Lots of stories that we could sink our teeth into, but there is nothing. And I mean nothing as consequential, as important, as significant as what was released Friday by the Trump administration and what we’ve learned about President Obama and his senior national security team. Tulsi Gabbard has referred what they discovered to Pam Bondi’s Justice Department. And I know you’re going to say, whoa, whoa, whoa, is she going to do anything? Is Pam Bondi going to do anything about it? I would submit to you that it’s all the criticism she’s getting over the Epstein case that will propel her to absolutely hold people accountable for this Russia collusion hoax. Tulsi Gabbard, according to Everything that was released Friday night, Tulsi Gabbard is now telling reporters that this was manufactured intelligence that led to a treasonous conspiracy to commit a years-long coup against the Trump administration. I want you to hear a conversation… between Fox News Channel’s Bill Hemmer and Matt Taibbi. Matt Taibbi is a veteran investigative journalist, and he had some very intriguing and compelling things to say about this bombshell, and I do mean bombshell with a capital B, that was revealed after we got off the air Friday, and I want to make sure you are well aware of it today on Monday.
SPEAKER 03 :
A lot of the usual suspects, Clapper, Comey, Brennan, etc. But also Barack Obama’s mentioned in a lot of this. And you read at Racket News that a source had told you that Obama is now, quote, center square in the Russiagate scam. Go ahead and explain that. Then I’ve got questions for you after that.
SPEAKER 15 :
Sure. So the last major revelation that came out was that Trump, John Brennan and James Comey were the focus of criminal investigations that have been opened by the Justice Department. But these new documents that were released by Tulsi Gabbard and the director of national intelligence make it clear that the investigation is now aimed at the Obama White House and in particular at Barack Obama because of decisions that were made in early December of 2016 to suppress the presidential daily briefing and go ahead and order a new intelligence community assessment that ultimately would have much more aggressive conclusions about Trump and Russia.
SPEAKER 03 :
Hmm. So a lot of this December 2016 into January of 2017, I’m assuming also, you know, but Trump’s people were in there for four years and the current CIA director had his job for eight months at the time. I just did his people fail him. Why wasn’t there more urgency on this and Trump 1.0 as there is now?
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, that’s a complaint I heard a lot over the weekend from people who have been following this and even from former officials who are close to Trump. One of them said to me, a former high ranking Trump official said there was, quote, so much corruption in the last Trump presidency that this shouldn’t have been overlooked, that these documents should have come out. Absolutely. But the overall sense I get is that everyone’s happy that they finally are coming out and they’re looking forward to what is likely to come out this week.
SPEAKER 03 :
OK, another question about Russia is the allegation they were trying to influence our election or is the allegation that they actually change votes? I think we need to be clear on that. What can we say?
SPEAKER 15 :
So it’s both. The Democrats are making a lot of hay over this apples and oranges issue that there was never any question that they didn’t actually change vote tallies, but they did influence the election. Actually, there was some question about whether they had the ability to influence. influence the election. There were quotes earlier from that year with the FBI saying they didn’t have any evidence that they had done so, and they were uncomfortable making that statement. There were also quotes saying that they lacked evidence that Russia had the ability to impact the outcome of the election. So all of this would have been passed on to somebody like michael flynn um because presidents elect are entitled to receive the presidential daily briefing that’s why this is important it’s not so much what the pdb did say it’s what it didn’t say it didn’t say that there was a sweeping conspiracy to help trump and if they had that it would have been a very different political picture going forward okay it looks like it’s the doj’s call next and we’ll see what they do
SPEAKER 12 :
It was kind of wild. And… And then a restful weekend where I binged on a couple of things that were so fascinating. There’s an Amazon Prime video series on Brian Kohlberger and the murders of those four college kids in Idaho. What an incredible story. I got more of an understanding of why he probably did it based on that series, so I If you’re a true crime fan like I am, you might want to watch that documentary. Also saw a great documentary on Billy Joel. Wow. It’s a big, epic look at his life, his work, his music. So a lot of good stuff to binge on. And we’ve got to have a life-work balance here. We’ve got so much to cover here. But, I mean, this is Tulsi Gabbard. Here she was with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News Channel explaining why this story is so profoundly significant. To quote one texter on the MyPillow text line, this would shake our country at its very foundation if confirmed.
SPEAKER 09 :
The implications of this are frankly nothing short of historic. Over 100 documents that we released on Friday really detail and provide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office. after President Trump had already gotten elected. This is not a Democrat or Republican issue. This is an issue that is so serious it should concern every single American because it has to do with the integrity of our Democratic Republic. What we saw occur here, as the documents we released detailed, was that we had a sitting president of the United States and his cabinet and leadership team, quite frankly, who were not happy with the fact that President Trump had won the election, that the American people had chosen Donald J. Trump to be the next president, commander in chief of the United States. And so they decided that they would do everything possible to try to undermine his ability to do what voters tasked President Trump to do. So creating this piece of manufactured intelligence that that claims that Russia had helped Donald Trump get elected. contradicted every other assessment that had been made previously in the months leading up to the election that said exactly the opposite, that Russia neither had neither the intent nor the capability to try to, quote unquote, hack the United States election for the presidency of the United States. So the effect of what President Obama and his senior national security team did was subvert the will of the American people, undermining our Democratic Republic and enacting what would be essentially a years-long coup against President Trump, who was duly elected by the American people.
SPEAKER 12 :

SPEAKER 05 :
On the subject of Democrats, a brand new CNN poll out today shows that Democrats’ favorability among Americans is at its lowest point in the history of CNN’s polling back to 1992. Only 28% of Americans view the Democratic Party favorably.
SPEAKER 10 :
In the ReliefFactor.com studios, here’s Mike.
SPEAKER 12 :
That was Jake Tapper from CNN. His conversation with Beto O’Rourke was probably… Well, almost as significant as the Tulsi Gabbard reveal Friday night about the Russia collusion hoax. I love it when Democrats reveal themselves. I really do. I appreciate the honesty, the raw honesty of what the Democrats are about. It’s not about truth. It’s not about facts. It’s not about the will of the people. Democrats aren’t winning elections. Look at all the losses that they’ve racked up. And Beto O’Rourke knows about losing. He’s like the Stacey Abrams of Texas. He runs all the time. He never wins. Stacey Abrams never wins. Hillary lost. Kamala lost. These guys are faced with a string of defeats, and it’s all for them about getting back into power. And they don’t care about the will of the people. They don’t care that their ideas are failing. They’d rather bloviate about Stephen Colbert. Who gives a rat’s rear end about Stephen Colbert? You know why they’re trying to distract? Because they’re losing. They’re losing in the arena of ideas, of policies. Their policies don’t work, and they know it. But I’ve got to play this clip for you. I should have played it more often. Look, the Russia collusion story is such a hugely important story. But it goes hand in hand with what Beto O’Rourke was willing to admit to Jake Tapper in an interview on CNN. Check this out.
SPEAKER 04 :
Gavin Newsom in California has talked about a redistricting in his state. I think it’s time that we match fire with fire. I think Democrats in the past too often have been more concerned with being right than being in power. And we’ve seen the Republicans only care about being in power regardless of what is right.
SPEAKER 05 :
So you support the Newsom effort because California right now has an independent commission that does districts in as fair a way as possible and nonpartisan as possible. You’re saying Democrats should, even though you don’t approve of it, Democrats should do it, too.
SPEAKER 04 :
We have to get serious. We have to be absolutely ruthless about getting back in power. So, yes, in California, in Illinois, in New York, wherever we have the trifecta of power, we have to use that to its absolute extent.
SPEAKER 12 :
Thank you, Beto O’Rourke, for saying what most Democrats are unwilling to say out loud. You guys are only about ruthless power. Ruthlessness in getting back into power. And they will do everything they can to get back into power next year. They will look, if these reports are correct… They used a phony Russia collusion story to try to stop the first Trump term. What do you think they’ll do in the second Trump term? They’ll do everything they can to impeach him. They’ll impeach him every day of the week. We’ll have a record amount of impeachments if these Democrats get in power in the House of Representatives. They don’t even need the Senate. It won’t even matter… They don’t need a conviction. They’re just going to want to throw whatever they can at him. And we better be up to the task. I think we are. I’m feeling cautiously optimistic. I like our chances. I really do. I liked our chances heading into the 2024 election, and I was right. I liked our chances of watching Joe Biden get kicked to the curb. I was right. I’ve got pretty good instincts. And my instinct is good things are coming. But you’ve got to be engaged. You’ve got to be involved. You can’t be on the sidelines. Portions of our show are sponsored by Americans for a Balanced Budget. This is a way for you to get involved, too. This is an important issue because key health care tax credits are set to expire at the end of the year. If that occurs, 24 million Americans could face skyrocketing health care costs. Millions may lose their coverage entirely. Congress has to act to protect these vital tax credits for Americans who happen to buy their own health insurance. found that almost 80% of voters, including over 70% of Trump supporters, are more likely to vote for candidates who preserve these important credits. Americans for a Balanced Budget is calling on Congress to protect the full promise of the One Big Beautiful Bill. The One Big Beautiful Bill passed. Now it’s important to prevent a devastating health care tax hike. Again, your voice counts. Visit StopHealthCostHikes.com and make sure your voice is heard. Tell Congress to protect the tax credits, stop the rising costs, and act before it’s too late. Visit StopHealthCostHikes.com. That’s StopHealthCostHikes.com. Charlie’s in Indianapolis, 21 before the hour. Charlie, welcome to the Mike Gallagher Show. Hello. Thank you, thank you. Appreciate it. How are you? I’m good. How are you doing? I’m good, I’m good. I’m just amazed at this bombshell story. How about you?
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, well, you know, I am amazed. I hope we see some action out of it. I’m almost 60 years old, so history is… not looking good as far as uh uh thinking that something’s going to be done you know we we’ve heard all the things we the laptop we heard about hillary everything she did with the emails and and we were told that she paid for for the russia gate um you know mike i i go back to uh jfk uh They blew the brains out of the sitting president and nobody went to jail for that. I know. I know.
SPEAKER 12 :
Look, we’ve been let down. But if you’re going to go back to 1963, go back to 2016 or 2020 or go back for the last few years. Look at what they have done to Republicans. Look at how many Republicans have had to pay the price. Look at how many lives have been destroyed by what the Democrats have done to them. Look, it can be done. Now the shoe has to be on the other foot. And in a way, not out of the ruthlessness that Beto O’Rourke describes, but out of a search for truth, out of a quest for facts. It can be done. It needs to be done. It must be done. Look, if this is true, Tulsi Gabbard is right. It was, in fact, manufactured, a manufactured hoax that was done in order to commit a treasonous conspiracy. Tulsi Gabbard is absolutely correct. Here was Jesse Waters’ take about it on Fox News Friday night.
SPEAKER 06 :
We just got a peek inside Obama’s black book, and it turns out Barack knew the Russia hoax was a hoax all along, but pushed it anyway to sabotage the Trump presidency. DNI Tulsi Gabbard declassifying pages and pages of documents showing Obama’s intel guys briefed him just weeks after the 16 election that the Russians didn’t actually sway the election. Quote, we assess that Russian and criminal actors did not impact the recent U.S. election results. Criminal activity also failed to reach the scale and sophistication necessary to change election outcomes. But Obama just couldn’t accept that. So he and his staff instructed intel agencies to cook up new reports to support Russia collusion. Quote, After the meetings, Clapper’s executive assistant emailed intelligence community leaders, tasking them to create a new intelligence community assessment per the president’s request that detailed the tools Moscow used and actions it took to influence the 16th election. Tulsi Gabbard described what she found as a conspiracy to subvert the will of the American people. And she says the people involved should be prosecuted and has made a criminal referral to the Department of Justice. We knew Hillary created the dossier, and now we have proof that Barack was calling the shots and the documents to prove it.
SPEAKER 12 :
Wow. It’s huge. All of it is big. It’s enormous, actually. I just got a text on the MyPillow text line. Mike, play that clip over and over. That’s the truth coming out, what Beto O’Rourke said. They won’t stop at anything until they get exactly what they want. Don’t worry, we’re going to play that clip a lot. You’re going to hear a reminder of what the Democrats are really all about. Not truth, but power. Power. Power.
SPEAKER 10 :
Mike Gallagher. 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 1 :
What?
SPEAKER 12 :
Nobody pandered more than Jacob Fry. Do you remember him weeping over George Floyd? Oh, my gosh. I mean, he did everything he could to pander and to pretend and to fawn. It didn’t get him anywhere. They kicked him to the curb anyway. It didn’t even matter. I mean, every single person needs to take a lesson from this. You can’t pander to the left. No other mayor, Mark, groveled more at the feet of BLM and DEI than Jacob Fry. And they still tossed him aside like trash for someone who calls Somalia home. Precisely. He wants Minneapolis to be more like Somalia. He has said that. And people are okay with that. They love it. They do love it. Now, there’s excitement for him. There’s excitement for Mamdani. I’ve got to ask you a question.
SPEAKER 13 :
This guy makes Mamdani look like Dan Bongino. No kidding. This is bad.
SPEAKER 12 :
But this is really happening, so I have to ask you why it’s happening. I’ve got a theory. I’ve been thinking about this over the weekend. I think what’s happening is the left believes they should self-correct Trump’s victories. We’ve got six months of a list full of Trump accomplishments that are some of the most stunning and consequential accomplishments of any president in our lifetime, Mark. And I think they believe, all right, let me quote Beto O’Rourke. Mm-hmm. Better O’Rourke.
SPEAKER 13 :
Let’s have people return their cars to the road.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, have you heard the clip of him that’s going viral that we have to be ruthless in reclaiming power? I know. The Democrats, this is what they’re about, is ruthless power. And sometimes people like Beto O’Rourke say it out loud. They say the quiet part out loud.
SPEAKER 13 :
They do us the favor of revealing what’s in their heads and their hearts.
SPEAKER 12 :
They’re revealing what’s in their heads. And so Beto, and I’m going to play this clip until you’re tired of it today on the show, because this is what they care about. Winning doesn’t work for them. Hillary lost. Biden lost. Beto, Lord knows, Beto lost. I mean, they lose. They’re not winning with votes. So they’ve got to look at redistricting. They’ve got to look at playing dirty. They’ve got to look at trying to throw charges at Trump and all this crap. They are about ruthless, ambitious power. And so I’m wondering if this crazy, wild-eyed move towards communist, Marxist, socialist looney tunes like Mamdani and Omar in Minneapolis, is that part of this effort to get ruthless power back? Of course it is.
SPEAKER 13 :
And you have to wonder about its ultimate wisdom because you’ll get the occasional Mamdani who may or may not win for mayor of New York. You’ll get this guy like Omar Fatah who may or may not win for – probably will win for mayor of Minneapolis. He doesn’t have a busy four-person election to navigate his way through. Right. Is that just a function of the moment in a Somali heavy city like Minneapolis? Or is it emblematic of something that is broader, something that the Democratic Party is slowly turning itself into? And if it is, as you’ve described, a thirst for power, an attempt to rattle the cage and reclaim power in some bold way, how can it do anything but fail miserably? Because for every Mamdani, for every Omar Fateh in Minneapolis, there’s still more Democrats in America still who are saying, man, I miss JFK. Man, I miss Joe Lieberman. Man, I miss Bill Clinton, some of them are saying. Bill Clinton would be a center-right figure by today’s measure. If it’s a quest for power, it’s doomed.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, the Somalis alone won’t get this guy elected. So you’re right. It’s either doomed because normal, reasonable people, Democrats, if there’s any left, are going to say, uh-uh, we can’t do this. We can’t. I mean, to hear this guy talk about making Minneapolis like Somalia is stunning. And you think about this. And I do believe he was born here in the United States, if I’m not mistaken. Tracy, can you fact check that for me and see if Omar Fattah was born here or not? Born in D.C. That’s what I thought. Yep. But certainly Somali and his family from Somalia. You think about the image of people migrating here, immigrating here from another country, and then basically taking over power, taking over. Look at Congress. Look at Ilhan Omar. You know, look at these people who are coming to the United States. And this sounds, you know, edgy, and I don’t want to be racist. I mean, I know it’s not racist. It’s a fact. Yeah.
SPEAKER 13 :
Do you have any problem with Byron Donalds? No, of course not. The last time I checked was a black man just like Omar Fateh.
SPEAKER 12 :
It’s attitudinal. It’s political. It is, but I also don’t have a single problem with somebody saying, okay, my family came here from another country. So that’s not really the driving force. No, it’s all behavioral and political, of course. And ideological. I mean, you know, no cash bail and let the criminals roam the streets and open borders and we’re not going to cooperate with ICE. And how about, P.S., mix in a little redistribution of the wealth while you’re at it. And, you know, very Marxist, you know, and against private property. That was the classic I played on Friday. Mamdani would like to abolish private property because everybody deserves to own something.
SPEAKER 13 :
It’s the root of all liberty is private property ownership. And in fact, go back two minutes to what you were saying, all of it great. There’s not even a problem. I mean, it’s part of the definition of America, people coming from other lands, becoming American, and then establishing whatever life they want, including running for public office. There’s no problem. Nothing. There’s certainly no problem with somebody coming from another land, becoming American, getting citizenship, and running for public office. That’s not the problem with Omar. That’s not the problem with these folks. It is that they hate the country they have come to.
SPEAKER 12 :
They despise this country.
SPEAKER 13 :
And are looking to change it in terrible ways.
SPEAKER 12 :
Elon Omar said that last week. Elon Omar said America’s a terrible place, essentially. All right, I’ve got to leave you with this. Headline from Axios. You know Axios is one of my go-tos. I know they’re left of center. They’re a bubble of their establishment. They have them in cities all over the country. I’m sure there’s an Axios Dallas. There is. There’s an Axios Tampa Bay. Headline, Alligator Alcatraz. Alligator Alcatraz leans on myth steeped in racism. Yeah, that’s right. Do you remember when Pete Buttigieg said that bridges are racist? Yes, of course. Axios has decided to hold my beer. The idea… Are you ready? Yes. The idea… First of all, they claim that alligators don’t really like to eat humans. However… According to Axios, I’m not making this up. You can Google this. You can look it up. I swear to you. Oh, no. I’m reading here an article by somebody named Catherine Varn.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 12 :
The idea of the alligator lusting for human flesh is rooted in racism. Dating back to Jim Crow, when tourists could buy postcards illustrating black children as gator bait. Yes. I kid you not. This article claims that there is actually a racist reason that Trump likes alligator Alcatraz. He’s a racist because it goes back. It’s a myth that goes back to the way to dehumanize, oppress and suppress.
SPEAKER 13 :
newly freed african americans i’m reading here all right so and they understand so we put we put a facility in the everglades yes because we we just love the idea the yes that old nostalgic imagery yes black kids being black children black children being the swamps to be eaten
SPEAKER 12 :
In fact, the article includes a postcard depicting black children as alligator baits.
SPEAKER 13 :
They’re on to us, Mike.
SPEAKER 12 :
I don’t know how much longer we can survive. The walls are closing in now. They’ve figured this out. Quick observation. I’ve got to just say this. I don’t think there’s a lot of black kids right now at Alligator Alcatraz. Just saying.
