The Jerry Callahan Show is presented by Paramount Plus. What chaos reign, Mobland, the hate crime series from the underworld of Guy Richie is now streaming on Paramount Plus. The arrogance are on the brink of uncivil war as power plays, fractured loyalties, and reckless decisions collide. Their fixer Harry is left to clean up the fallout. Don't miss Mobland starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, and Helen Mirren, now streaming on Paramount Plus. This is the Jerry Callahan Show. You know, it right up the bat that Trump is not going to win this one. Media that he banned from the White House CNN, MSNBC, and Politico have already filed suit, and they'll find there'll be a judge. There'll be another left-wing Democrat activist pretending to be a judge who will rule in their favor. And they'll get their seat back in the White House.
But at the same time, I do enjoy a good fight. And I do enjoy a fight against the fake news more than any of Trump's fights. He had a great weekend, by the way. If you weren't paying attention, he announced a deal with Greenland. Yes, we will have a permanent military presence in Greenland. And that's a good thing. I mean, it's not a good thing for the soldiers or sailors who get assigned there. But it's a good thing for strategic reasons. It was always a good idea. But the media lost their minds because that's what they do. I just watched a couple of hours of the fake news of CNN and MSNBC, and they are just obsessed. They cannot let anything, except anything that Trump does. And we're not talking about big things, you know, like the war of the border. It's just one report after another about the ballroom, or putting his name on the Kennedy Center, or the new arch. He announced the arch,
which is going to be built in DC. As Trump says, all big countries, great countries have arches. And he announced there'd be a military component to it where they will have munitions stored. And they brought someone on CNN who said, oh, that's a danger for the people of DC that they will have like soldiers in the arch. Really? How's that? Or they will talk about the cost. I love when they talk about the cost of anything Trump does. The ballroom, or the arch or anything, the cost. You, since when do Democrats care about the cost of anything? I mean, you know, I mean, except maybe the military, but they don't care that we're 40 trillion in debt. They didn't care when Joe Biden spent 10 trillion dollars during COVID. I didn't matter to them. They don't care about the cost of anything, except if Trump is doing it, then they're really concerned about the cost. But let's get to this latest fight because again,
you know, Trump's not going to win. It's going to be more of a distraction than anything. But it will be hilarious. Here is a report. Is a CNN or MSNBC? It's just a highlight of all of them, actually. Here they are. These are the White House correspondents for MSNBC and CNN forced out onto the sidewalk by this new Trump edict that they are press credentials have been revoked. They're doing their reports from out on the streets of D.C. where it's going to get pretty cold soon. And it might rain. And I will laugh out loud at this. Again, it's kind of a petty fight, but it does kind of force you to focus like I did this morning on how they will react. They're losing their minds. How could a president do this? It's an attack on the First Amendment. All right, let's go through it. First of all, it has nothing to do with the First Amendment. As you can see, they are still reporting. They still have their right to speak.
They still have freedom of the press. They just aren't afforded the privilege of sitting in the front row and attacking the president or his press secretary. Those days, at least temporarily, are over. They can do their reports just like always. They can hate Trump from the sidewalk just as easily as they did from the press room. But it is, I understand Trump's frustration. I mean, he sits there every day. God knows he's obsessed with the coverage of his White House. And he sees them just portray him in this second term as a disaster. And they'll talk about his approval ratings, which they do their best to drive down. And they will say that Republican voters regret voting for him really. There's not a single Trump got 78 million votes, not one. Not one of those people regrets their vote because it was a binary choice. And there's not one person,
not one Republican hell, not one sensible person who thinks president Kamala Harris would have been better. That's just not true. That's just fake news. Nobody wishes Kamala Harris were in the White House now. But when Trump does this, his white works on some level. When he singles them out and bans them and talks about them, it, the people online, a lot of high profile accounts on Twitter start posting fake news from these frauds. Yes, here's Trump's announcement. He says the White House is not instituting an assault on assault on the free press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the fake news, something that has grown like a cancer in our beloved United States of America. It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our national security must be stopped now. Thank you for
attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump. He's right. It is a problem. We've never seen anything like this. I'm what we've seen presidents go after the press. We've seen presidents ban the press. But we have never seen this insidious wave of attacks on the president through, not true, accurate, not accurate. They are dedicated 24-7 to stopping him and they're complicit with Democrats. That's the job of CNN, MSNBC, Politico. I like this part too, by the way. When he announces it, he says I'm banning fake news, CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, the recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 million subscription, an all-time record directly from the United States government under Crook a Joe Biden. That is true. Didn't get a lot of coverage.
But Politico was getting a handout from the Biden administration under the guise of these subscriptions. Every agency had to subscribe and they were reaping the benefits. They were getting $8 million. I'm not sure the exact number. Millions in subscription fees that were required by the Biden administration in order for Politico to flourish. Those are gone and Politico is no longer so profitable. We'll see how long they last. This is another scandal. No coverage. Nothing. It wasn't like they built a ballroom or anything. No, they were just funneling money to friendly media outlets through USAID and other agencies. That ended under the Trump administration. But let's give me this clip with the CNN anchor. It's just a reminder that again, these are all over the
place now. It's a reminder of why Trump is doing this. I find it frustrating sitting back and watching these people lie. Can't imagine being in the White House and all the successes he had. You know inflation was higher under Joe Biden. You know gas prices were higher under Joe Biden. You know the border was wide open under Joe Biden. You know 15, 20 million people came into this country under Joe Biden. But they loved him. Now Trump closed the border and they talk about how mean ice is as another obsession. An ice agent shot a illegally in Austin and they're all over this ice. It's out of control ice. And you're sitting there going, they're enforcing the law just like they did under Obama and Clinton and every other president. Well, the ice wasn't formed. But you know what I mean, they're enforcing federal law and they can't stand it. They blame Trump. They
say people are unhappy with ice and they're going to vote for change. It's all it's all wise by these people obsessed with stopping Trump. They have a visceral hatred of the man and it seeps through all their reporting and it drives him nuts. Should he ignore them? Yeah, that would probably be better. Better. I hope the next guy JD Vance or whoever I hope they ignore them. I hope when they get back in the press room and they will, he just ignores them. I mean, they can get a seat. A judge will make sure they have a seat in the press room and access to this White House. That doesn't mean they have a right to ask questions. Trump can ignore them. The press secretary can ignore them. That's what Joe Biden did. James Rosen from Newsmax was sitting in the press room for like a year and a half before he got to ask a question. They just ignored him. We'll get back to James in a minute. But it's just a sampling of what just drives Trump nuts. It should drive everybody nuts.
These people are paid liars. They're propagandists. He's just a sample from CNN and how they covered the Russia hoax, which is perhaps the biggest media scandal of our times, the lie that they perpetrated for years about Trump being in collusion with Russia, which turned out to be fake. They didn't get back their awards. They didn't get back the money. They made cover in this thing. They knew it was fake, just like Obama and Biden and everyone, you know, clapper and combing. They all knew it was fake. They pushed it anyway. Here's CNN. The Russians packed the election. Putin hacked the American election. Russia hacked the intelligence at Russia hacked the election. How will we know what really happens when Trump and Putin get together? Can we trust either man? No, we can't. Trump opponents will speculate that he's really a Russian agent. Having a meeting with his handler, betraying America. Trump simply cannot be
trusted. They did this for years. In fact, Trump posted these CNN hoaxes. This is great. A list of CNN hoaxes and it's incredible. It's like a hundred of them. I mean, some are bigger than others. You know, ICE detains a five-year-old. Trump destroyed this photo of starving baby in Gaza. Israel troops murdered Palestinians. Trump's tariffs will explode prices. It goes on and on and on. You forget. You forget a lot of them. I mean, obviously the Russia about this one. Hands up, don't shoot. The whole panel on a CNN show all raised their hands in honor of a big Michael Brown there. And Missouri raised his hands and said, Hands up, don't shoot. It was a lie. It was just, it is remarkable how bad the media has
gotten under Trump. They were always, obviously, left-wing. They hated every Republican president, Reagan, Bush, that matter, but they really hate Trump. He drives them crazy. They can't get past it. They don't even care how bad they look, how corrupt, how dishonest they look. They don't have time to read all those hoaxes. There's been so many. And at the same time, they can never bring themselves to say, you know, there's spent some good things. The US poverty rate just reached an all-time low. The murder rate is the lowest in 130 years. Crime in major cities is down. The border is absolutely closed. No illegal crossings in 16 months. These are good things by any measure. And they will never, if they will never give him credit, which drives him nuts. But it's, it's an indictment on them. That's why he's doing this to make to point out, to highlight just how
friggin dishonest they are. And along those lines, they will tell you, this is unprecedented. Did you know that in May of 2023, Joe Biden canceled 442 media credentials for the White House? Mostly, you know, right wing outlets or websites or independent journalists, 440. I don't even remember that making the news. And Trump canceled three in its front page headline news. And perhaps the biggest phony, the biggest fraud of them all is Barack Obama, who this weekend. I don't even know where he was. Discuss this, moved by Trump to a ban-free media outlets. And Barack Obama said, exactly what you'd expect. Can you imagine? Can you imagine if I did that? Can't believe he even has the gall to do that. We have Obama saying this over the weekend, just imagine if I banned
Fox News. Well, we don't have to imagine. He didn't ban the aforementioned James Rosen. No, he spied on him. I'll get the details, but here's Obama over the weekend. Imagine nation could not foresee some of the stuff that's going on right now. I believe there was just an announcement that the White House decided. You know what CNN, MSN, MSN now? Maybe the New York Times would include you just can't come to the White House press briefings anymore. Because you're giving the current president unfavorable coverage. I'm trying to think what would have happened if I had said, you know what Fox News? You're out of here. It's unimaginable. So, but the point I'm making here is that if you have a certain cohort, let's call it 30 to 35%
in the country right now, which thinks that's okay. Well, what that means is we have not developed the kind of understanding of what democracy requires. Oh good. And we've got to shore that back up. I don't know. Yeah. Got to shore up with democracy with Christ. Here's the story from 2010, the Obama administration secretly monitored Fox News, Washington, Corp. James Rosen in a leak investigation designated him a criminal co-conspirator in an FBI search warrant application. The investigation stemmed from a 2009 report by Rosen regarding North Korea's nuclear test plans, which relied on classified intelligence leaked by State Department Security, State Department Security Advisor. The Department of Justice obtained a search warrant to track Rosen's personal emails, monitors, phone records and call logs and track his physical
entry and exit at the State Department using his badge access. Gee, can you imagine if Barack Obama did that? Yeah, I can. He did it and there was no outrage that did the media threaten to boycott the White House? Did they say this was an attack on the first amendment, a threat to democracy? Of course not. By the way, we've seen so many highlights and video of Trump sparring with media members with Jim Acosta and others in the Washington press corps. You know why we see those? Trump let them ask questions. He let them attack. He let them attack him and then he push back and then we end up with great video. Obama didn't do that. Obama didn't call on them. Obama didn't respect them. He doesn't give a damn about the freedom of the press. There's never been a more a guy who had to be in control than Obama.
Even the Trump haters in the media admit he's the most accessible, the most transparent president they've ever seen. They can't believe how much cover access they get. They didn't get that kind of access under Joe Biden who had dementia and they couldn't allow him out there or Obama who was a tyrant that didn't want to have an exchange, you know, free exchange, debate with anybody. He was in control and you better step in line or he'll spy on you. Is this the report from from MSNBC? Yeah, this is the James Rose and I need CBS. Oh, CBS reporting on what they did to James Rose. I don't remember any outrage over this. Obviously it's pretty outrageous, but again, Rose and ghost of Newsmax, he's in the White House press room for the entire Biden administration. I think he got to ask one question in like two years. It just ignored him, which is
what I think Trump should do to CNN, MSNBC, Politico, New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, just ignore them. Here's how the media covered that champion of free speech, Barack Obama, spying on the journals. I believe he spied on his parents too. That's so crazy. This was good. At least this week show the Obama administration secretly monitored a Washington journalist in seeking a search warrant. The FBI called James Rosen a criminal co-conspirator, even though he is in charge with any crime. Jan Crawford is at the Justice Department. Jan, good morning. Well, good morning, Nora. Good morning, Charlie. You know, I mean, these revelations have really just set up a firestorm of criticism from the left and the right for the first time ever a presidential administration is treating news reporting like a crime and a reporter like a criminal suspect. I will always honor the confidentiality of my dealings with all of my sources. Fox News reporter James Rosen vowed Wednesday night to protect his source for a scoopy
got back in 2009, reporting then that North Korea would respond to sanctions with more nuclear tests. But the information was classified and the FBI launched an investigation to uncover Rosen's source that quickly focused on Rosen himself. The level of government surveillance over a reporter was unprecedented. For some media critics, the ACLU are saying that no presidential administration, not even the Nixon administration went after reporters with search warrants and secret surveillance. And journalists that I'm talking to here and watching to Charlie Norse say they're already seeing the impact of this. And there and there's all kinds of leaks from the Trump administration, the State Department and the Pentagon. And I don't think they've launched any, you know, criminal investigations of the Washington Post or New York Times. God knows, maybe they should, but the media will, they'll be outraged for a day or two. But then as I said, they'll get back in there. And all I will say to Trump is just ignore them before we move on.
Get me that headline from CNN. There's so much fake news. This is just incredible. This is hard to believe. This is real, but a headline after Butler PA July 13, 2024 when Trump was shot. I watched it live on Newsmax. I've told the store before I started screaming to my wife that they killed him because he went down. And I thought he wasn't going to get up. He did, thankfully, 30 seconds later. But it was obvious. He was shot. He's bleeding within a minute. You knew that he was hit. Here's their headline. And the picture you literally have Trump bleeding in the photo and the headline from CNN, Secret Service, Russia's Trump offstage after he falls at rally. That was written typed out. And an editor saw it and posted it that he fell. First of all, he didn't fall. Secondly, he was obviously shot in God hit and was bleeding. And these clowns,
that's that could be the best example of just how insanely obsessively biased they are against the president. And I have always said I wanted a fighter in the White House. We got one man. Sometimes, you know, he goes too far, but he will never just allow them to do what they do and not call them out. But we got to move on to the big story from last night. Patrick Clancy spoke to 60 minutes. It was riveting. I made my heart breaks for this man and my I it is not possible to hate the ladies of TikTok or the ladies in pink or the guy who was standing outside the courtroom we showed you who said held up a big sign. Patrick did it. There is a sickness in our society. I guess it's amplified by social media and the sense of camaraderie these sickos have.
But I want to play one clip that just killed. I mean, this just hit me in the heart man. This thing, this poor poor man forget the fact that you know, his evil demonic wife took his three children. He was the first one on the scene as we know. He found her in the snow and he called 911. I call I hope I pray we hear someday. And I couldn't get past the fact watching this. But there is a there is thousands, maybe millions of women who hate him, who blame him, who could set her him the bad guy. After what he went through again, he'll tell you he didn't do enough. Well, if she didn't get the help she needed, I'll say it again. All the women suffering from postpartum mental issues, there's there can't be many who got more help than Lindsey Clancy. She had he worked from home. He hired a nanny. He he did all he could. He was there for her. He supported her
hell in court. Hell on this interview, in this interview, he supports her. But listen to Patrick, Clancy talk about what we know Dawson and Korra died immediately at the scene. His baby talent did not. His eight month old baby hung on to life for four days. And this poor poor man was there with him as he as he took his last breath. This is just this is devastating. Go ahead. So I didn't have all the details of Collins's condition. I just knew that they got a heart beat back. So I remember that night I really thought there was a chance that Callan would live. And I remember just thinking just give me one. Just give me one kid. And I would raise him as best I could. And I would give him the best life I possibly could. And I'd tell him about his brother and sister. And I was holding out hope for that. And then when I got to the hospital, I saw the doctor,
I saw the look on her face. And I knew that it wasn't going to be a good prognosis. Callan's heart kept beating for four days. I'm so grateful for those four days that I had with him. And I'm so grateful he hung on. Did you talk to him in those four days? Yeah. Can you tell me anything you said? I said I'm so sorry. And I got to hold him. I got to lay down next to him. And he died in my arms. God, he died in my arms. I can... I posted about this. Obviously, immediately get the people saying, you know, Patrick did it or Patrick wasn't there when he should have been. He left the house for less than an hour to get food and medicine. I've done this a hundred times. What was he supposed to do?
Like never, ever leave the house. He didn't cry last night. Unlike Ed Sheeran, he wasn't a puddle. That was the extent of his emotion right there. He talked clearly. He answered every question. I thought he handled himself great. But immediately the criticism came. He didn't cry. He's not... He's not in mourning. He was... I'm like, what kind of sicko watches that? He's from this man. And somehow holds him responsible. His eight-month-old baby died in his arms because he married a demon. And he's... You have no sympathy for this man. You really don't. Your heart doesn't break. For this man, these people live among us. Hell, there were some of them on the jury. They got to hear from this man. They got to hear the nine-one-one call. They knew that that Kallon held on a life
for four days. And they still voted to a quit. That this satanic witch who did that to him, did that to these children. That their... Their concern was when they voted to a quit was, how do we get her help? You know, not justice or not what kind of punishment this calls for. What can we do for the woman who did this? Here he is. And I understand this is personal. And again, I just... My heart breaks for this man, but saying how he forgives her. She didn't ask him to forgive her, but he did it anyway. Listen. I saw headlines that said, you know, kill her mom and maybe murderer, monster, and none of them were accurate. I believe that it was her mental illness that caused that. So I shared those words. And I think when it comes to forgiveness, I also felt that if I didn't get there, I would be eaten up inside forever. Did you ask Lindsay
why she did it? I asked her if she remembered it. And what did she say? She said it was like a dream. And she remembered it much in the way you would remember a dream after waking up. Do you feel like you failed in some way in this period or do you feel like you did the best you could? I think I did the best I could with what I had at the time. And I live with the outcome. I live with it every day. Has she ever asked for your forgiveness? No, but I gave it to her. She never asked for his forgiveness, but she's, you know, she's the victim here. God, I don't want to hear one more person say if they did this on 60 minutes, I say if they retry her, if I mean, they might they could deal. She might copy plea, but of course they're going
to retry her if she doesn't agree to plead guilty. Of course they're going to retry. What else are they going to do? Just say, yeah, we tried. We failed a bunch of these crazy cat ladies were on the jury. We did our best. We're moving on. You can go now. Of course they're going to retry. She killed three kids. God, this was so powerful. His wife was his new wife. You know, his new wife. He got that obviously the guys are bad guy. He got remarried. What's he supposed to do? Just live, live in this state of mourning for the rest of his life. He moved on. He has a wife whom he married three years and three months after his ex-wife killed his children. Good for him. I hope he finds peace. I hope TMZ leaves him alone. TMZ actually just reported that his wife is pregnant. Good. Congratulations. And he talked about that about taking telling his children about their brothers and sister who are no longer with us. And he looks forward to the day. He tells this
kids about his about their half siblings were murdered by their mother. But all right, we got so much to get to. We got the latest from Massachusetts is if we don't have enough insanity in this state, the governor who is perhaps the worst governor in the country. I'm just going to say she's just a disaster. She's just she's evil. We're going over the she's evil. And she has a plan, you know, to monitor people who have babies. That's her answer to the Lindsay Plancy story. We're going to send the state to knock on your door and make sure that you're raising your child, right? That should send a chill down every month's mind. And we'll get to the aforementioned Ed Sheeran who's just a pathetic spineless coward. He really is. And he's suffering. And his friend Macklemore did him no favors. His friend Macklemore screwed him over. But I don't think Ed Sheeran's going to handle his his new
critic, the criticism. Well, at least not at least he's not handling it well so far. We'll get to that and more. But first, excuse me, excuse me. What chaos reign, Mobland, the hate crime series from the underworld of Guy Richie is now streaming on Paramount Plus. The arrogance are on the brink of uncivil war as power plays fractured loyalties and reckless decisions collide. Their fixer Harry is left to clean up the fallout. Don't miss Mobland starring Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirin, now streaming on Paramount Plus. Now back to the Jerry Callahan show presented by Paramount Plus. Mr. President, my company formed me of the explosion on our rig. Along to Persecut. Causing massive water displacement and triggering the tsunami. They all heat the blame on me. Tom Cruise is. Digger Dotteson to the specimen. And Digger is gonna dig a top. From the director of Birdman and the Revenant. What would happen if I stopped moving? You stole, you freezing dead. That's what? With great power, comes great deniability.
I'm not the earth then. Digger, see the Trin Long Law. Only in years on Topper Second, Rated R, under 17 out of mid without Peret. It's me, the. We don't need the jingle twice. Stop it. This is about vacation inflation and how price line negotiates amazing deals on hotels, flights and rental cars. Seems like we decided. Yeah, but I didn't mention that you can save up to 60% off hotels in the price line app. Time to read the deadline. Fine, no one deals more deals then. Price line, please stop. Price line, two Shay. Price line. Price line. I'm gonna get to the NFL too. I don't know. That game last night was great. It didn't didn't go the way I wanted it to. I enjoy rooting against Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. But went to overtime. Chiefs pulled it out. The Colts coach choked and handed them the game in my opinion. A good game tonight too. I'm all in on the Giants now. I like Jackson Dart and the
Giants, but they're at the Rams and Aaron Donnell is back and that's it's gonna be a tough one. But before we do that, I gotta get to this. It'll never not be frustrating and mind blowing to me that the woman who has been governor for the last four years in Massachusetts is going to get reelected. I'm not sure what what a far left socialist tyrant can do to lose the support in any blue state like Massachusetts. I mean, what she did, there's nothing to run on. There's a lot to run away from and we've gone over the list. I mean, she spent $4 billion on illegal aliens. She signed legislation to stop ice from removing pedophiles and rapists and killers from your neighborhood. She's just the absolute worst highest energy prices in the country because of a green new deal
scams. And here's the latest asked on the wake in that after the Lindsey Clancy verdict, what are they going to do? What are you going to do to protect children? Protect children? She's just a woman who just signed a bill making it legal to kill your baby in the ninth month. But if you choose to not kill your baby, if it choose to have have your baby, she's going to come to your house and check and make sure you're raising that child right. I got to feel in this other things they'll be checking on. Like, you know, is there a Trump sign or a or a Mike Minogue sign in the yard? Is there a is there a Bible in the house or a cross on the wall? There this is this should send to children. Everyone's fine. This is not your job lady, but she doesn't care because she knows the state is so far gone she's going to get reelected no matter what. But here she is in my opinion showing her true colors. Go ahead. Everybody in the state when you have a baby, you're going to have a
home visit. You're going to have a home visit within days, weeks, and that will be an opportunity for a health care provider to make an assessment. To make an assessment so a state official averse, a government official is going to knock on your door as you're nursing your new baby to make sure you're doing it right to assess and let's not forget what they what they have done in the state. We're not going to get into it again. We'll have an update soon. I'm sure, but the the family from Southboro, the Cudscows, Joseph and Arlene had their daughter, Sophie, taken away, stolen from them by the state and they haven't seen her for two years. Why? Because they would not affirm her delusion that she's a boy, a delusion that was encouraged in her high school. She was groomed by somebody at the high school. She told her parents she was a boy. They said, no, you're not.
So they took her. That's the Healy administration in action. Now they're going to make sure, I don't know how old you have to be to choose your gender in more Healy's world, but they're going to make sure if your child chooses another gender that you affirm that or they'll take the get away. It's what they do in Massachusetts. It is scary and scariest of all is that people are going to go vote for her. They're going to vote for that awful evil rotten woman in a few weeks. That is sick. Let's get to the pathetic ed Sheeran. You made a good point, Ironhead. We talked about this before the show. The Sheeran has one thing going for him. Everybody quit on him. It was back up man. It's opening acts. They all quit because Maclamore, a virulent anti-Semite, decided to do the free Palestine rant. He's got a history of that. Call what the
Warren Gazar genocides. We have to do to stay in good standing with the left. Robert Kraft and some other stadium owners said, we don't want him in our building. Bob Kraft has dedicated his life to fighting anti-Semites. He said, I don't want that anti-Semite in my stadium. Fair enough, you shouldn't. And Sheeran didn't, I don't know what he was supposed to do. Quit. Sheeran was post-telly. Quit the tour. He just said, he gave his buddy Maclamore a million dollars to go away. And immediately the mob came after Sheeran. He will never recover from this. He's not strong enough. He's not tough enough. He's got Congresswomen, AOC and Tilebe, saying they'll never listen to his music again. AOC told TMZ that she'll change the station on her radio if a Sheeran song comes on just because he wouldn't support this comeback, Maclamore, who again was supposed to be
his friend. The only reason he was on the tour is Sheeran was doing my favor. He doesn't belong on that tour. He doesn't fit with Sheeran's audience. If he just quietly went away, quit the tour. Nobody would have cared. Not one ticket holder, ticket buyer, Sheeran fan would have cared. But no, Maclamore had to be a martyr, had to be the victim here. And he just screwed Sheeran over. But his fans showed up, of course, to hear him sing. And he gave a speech. It was about three, four minute speech. It was just pathetic. I mean, honest to God, you're in the right here at Sheeran. Maclamore is a piece of garbage. You should just wash your hands up, move on. But he wanted to, I don't know, make everybody feel better. So we talked about what's going on in Gaza. And he he wouldn't take a strong stand, of course. But they will hate him anyway because he won't say free palace that he won't say from the river to the sea. So he's a bad guy. Here he was, the other night in Philadelphia. This is not usually how I would open the show. But before I play
some songs tonight, I hope it's okay if I say a few words about this last week. I'm used to my music being criticized. And I'm always happy to take that because I'm lucky, a lot of you like my stuff. And I'm not surprised that other people don't, you know, it's normal. But this week, the criticism was about something much more important. And I've had to take and make difficult decisions. And I am making mistakes. And I'm so, so sorry. I don't want to disappoint fans. And I've never wanted to be an activist musician. But this put me in the middle of an important and passionate argument about freedom of speech and the most complex political issue on the planet. My concerts have always been a safe space for everyone. And that matters hugely to me. Honoring my commitment to my fans is also completely central to who I am. And that is why I'm here
tonight on my own and continuing my current tour. But I am, I am deeply worried about the idea that venues should pre-approved content of performers. This happens in so many places that I perform around the world, but it should never happen in the free world. Now, I want to address the question of where I stand in the situation in Israel and Palestine. And where the am I doing this concert here tonight implies where I stand. I have tried in my career not to be a political commentator of any kind. Because I want my music and shows to be about unity, not division, about humanity, not politics. But this is a humanitarian issue and I cannot hide how I feel about it anymore. What happened in Israel and at the end of the No Music Festival on October 7th was horrific
and compounded centuries of Jewish pain. What is happening in Gaza is a catastrophic and unjustifiable and disproportionate. My heart has been broken by the scale of devastation and loss of civilians' lives, of children's lives. And the systemic injustice we're seeing unfold in the West Bank cannot be overlooked. I honestly am so grateful that you're here tonight with me. He's crying. He's crying. This concert is still in place where everyone is welcome and everyone here can stand beside people that have opposing views and everyone here can stand by people that they don't agree with on everything, but they can all agree on singing these songs. Enough of this guy. He thinks that's going to work. He doesn't understand. Again, he's a singer.
I guess I'll give him a pass. But if you aren't all in on hating the Jews, this crowd is going to savage you. You think that's going to placate AOC or Rashid Tileib or Ayanna Presley or you know. I feel bad for the guy. His friend just caused all this bullshit for him. I know. And he's the good guy. The guy who caused a guy who said he wouldn't make his appearances political told him he wouldn't do that. And then immediately went on stage with a video showing, you know, atrocities in Gaza and started screaming about free Palestine and River to see just a scumbag a guy who went on stage with a outfit, a costume pretending to be Jewish years, years head shearing crying. And he wants to have it both ways. You know, this is about love. He said in the concert you can sit next to someone you disagree with. Have you not followed the news? That's not how this works for the maclamores of the world. There is no
compromised. There's no, you know, friendly disagreement. Either you hate the Jews or they will destroy you. Look at him. This is like he's weeping like I would benefit if I were Patrick Lansy just crying like a little girl. What a pathetic weak man. He said he's lost family members over this, according to New York Post. Yet a cousin, a cousin was posting about how when we get this cousin's name is a Jeff Rose Sheeran, his cousin. Wanted to Instagram calling him selfish and malicious and writing that he was ashamed of him. A cousin is ashamed of him for what you just heard. We're saying, you know, love is everybody and he doesn't want to get political. Again, if you don't go all in, un Calling Israel, you know, saying they're committing genocide and they're evil and they're Nazis, they will hate you. They will
say they're ashamed of you. Nice try, Ed. It ain't going to work. But as I guess he performed so low, everybody quit. More money for you, Ed. Good for you. All the opening acts quit. Because that's the sign of a true talented musician to be fair. Right. And you know, that's why they're there. They're not for all these opening acts or certainly not there from Maclomore. You think all the 15 year old girls who love Ed Shari, you think they give a damn that Maclomore wasn't on in the show the other night. They don't. Of course, they don't. I don't care about him. They probably went to, you know, took a break, went to the bathroom, got a, got a snack when Maclomore took the stage, but his fault Ed Shari and for inviting the guy. That's what happens when you invite these people, these, I mean, you, you, you, you either sound like Hassan Piker or they will hate your guts. That's your choice. All right. Speaking of hitting your guts, I was, I enjoyed
the hell out of last night's Kansas City Indianapolis Colts game, but and there was only a couple shots of Taylor Swift. She pointed at her wedding ring after Kelsey scored a touchdown. Like, look at me. I'm married to that big lug. And she was up there cheering and, you know, the network's show a couple times. That's fine. I understand, but gold's blew it over time. They hit on a big bomb down the field. They got a big break when the receiver cuffed up the ball and then went to the replay and decided to determine that he was down by contact and they had a chance to throw it in the end zone and score and win and they didn't. They ran to running players and then you be Daniel Jones, you know, ran again and then turned it back to Kansas City and of course Patrick Mohm's marched them down field for a game for winning field goal. I guess it's good. The Kansas City's good again and a contender again because they aren't attaining. They are a big draw and I do
enjoy watching Mohm's play, but I was rooting for the upset, speaking of upsets. You know, what we should just take this in consideration that nobody knows anything about the NFL. The Chicago Bears score 59 a week one. They scored three yesterday and lose their star quarterback, Caleb Williams to a hamstring injury. I mean, he did the thing where you put the towel over your head when you tell your ACL or tell your Achilles and we're expecting the worst, but it sounds like it is not as bad as we thought. Of course, Jaden Daniels in Washington, that is as bad as we thought he is elbow bent the way it's not supposed to bend again and we don't know how long he's out, but that looked nasty and it's not his throwing arm, which is the good news, but in the Patriots Steelers game, Patriots get the win. Their defense looked great again. They've given up what 10, 13, 16 points. You're going to show the Jaden Daniels injury. Here's Tom Brady's call.
Oh, no, Oh, no, Oh, Oh, no, was not expecting to see Brady can't help himself. I was telling somebody this last night that I talked to Brady every Monday for 19 years. I could count on one hand the number of times we did it, even without having to believe him, he took pride in the fact that he could slip a swear word past our producers every week. He swears a lot and yesterday he dropped a couple of band words on the Fox broadcast, but that called for a good swear word. That moment, that was too bad. I used to be an Aaron Rogers fan, obviously. He's a weirdo and he was very entertaining to watch in his prime, not so much anymore. Here's a problem you have if you're Pittsburgh, if you're still a fan, there's a lot of them out there. He's cooked. He's he's almost 44.
And I looked this up quarterbacks after the age of 43. You know how many were good? One, one. And we look at that. People say, Brady did it when he was 43, 44. Brady's the exception to the rule. I hate to break it to you, but here's a list. I looked at most passing yards by quarterback older than 43. Rogers will be 44 in December. So he's he's over the hill. Brady is by far Brady at 10,000 passing yards after the age of 43. Second on that list is Philip Revers with 544. Total yards after the age. And then it's Vinnie Testa Verde, Steve DeBurg and Warren Moan, Warren Moan's fifth on that list. He threw for 130 yards. He played one game after 43. I believe the Stales will have three or four games after Rogers turns 44. He can't do it anymore. He doesn't run like he used to. He's not quick, you know,
in mind or body anymore. They've had 25 possessions this season. The Steelers offense led by Aaron Rogers. You know how many touchdowns they have, Ironhead? One, one touchdown in 25 possessions. And obviously DK Met Gav look terrible. There's no continuity. Their coach is a retread Mike McCarthy who I think at the job because that's where he grew up. You know, they talked about that is he drives my his childhood home every day on the way to work. That's not a good reason to hire a coach. I would much prefer the young, you know, the 35 year old innovative guys to some guy who's been, you know, coaching for decades. Doesn't look good if your Pittsburgh. And I'm sad to say Aaron Rogers is not going to win another MVP. He might not score another touchdown. And you know, the Patriots defense played well, but they were helped by absolutely abysmal
Pittsburgh offense. But tonight, you know what, let's make a pick, Ironhead. Tonight, I love this good game. Giants at Rams. I got the Giants getting six and a half Rams plus six and a half. The return of Aaron Donald. This is a tough task, but it it'd be great. See the Giants go in there and get a W. So I'm rooting for Jackson Dart and the boys tonight and John Harbaw, but it's going to be a tough one. What do you like? I actually, I also like the Giants and it's going to be Aaron Donald's first game back in like three years and Miles Garrett's not playing. So he's not going to be in his bad shape as it is right. It is quitting for three years in coming back is tougher in football than anything. I mean, there's ain't the golf. You know, this is it is a tough thing physically, mentally to come back. Even if you're a great, worry, great, great player like Aaron Donald, I'm not expecting him to, you know, get a couple of sacks and dominate the
line the way he used to. So maybe the Giants will have a chance. We both called the Patriots correct. We both had Patriots minus whatever it was five. He was five and a half. Yeah. I'm in a half. That was covered. Drake made does not look good, but I wouldn't say, you know, he's over the hill. He's in his prime and he'll be okay. And I'm not sure. I don't know if you noticed. Every single throw is off like the back of his feet. Like he's never planted. Yeah. Yeah. That's he's got, he's got some issues, but you know, he'll, he'll figure it out. And when he's in trouble and he runs, he's as good as anybody, except maybe Josh Allen. He is great. He times it right. He knows when to run. And he'll, he'll win some games with his feet, but we will be watching tonight and rooting for Jackson Dart. I, you know, I just like him because he had the balls enough to stand up and introduce Trump. You know, as a, as a big time, you know, celebrity in New York, that takes him guts and he did it.
So go Jackson. That will leave it. Oh, today, by the way, today Trump meets with Mamdani in New York City. I don't like this either. Mamdani is a communist. I just, you're going to have trouble explaining to me the common ground where Trump and Mamdani can find, you know, agreement. I don't, I don't like it. And tomorrow with the UN General Assembly, that should be good. Trump will be running down all, don't forget last time you did this, they turned the escalator off. And they, someone pulled the plug on the teleprompter. They tried to sabotage him last time. He's back there tomorrow at the UN. We'll see how it goes. But that will do it for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. I'm Jerry Callie. And this is the Callie Han Show. And we will do it again tomorrow. This is the definition of reason of go. But he at the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsey viciously killed our children. Thanks for listening to the Jerry Callie Han Show, presented by Paramount Plus.
