Obama: The first 100 days From the very beginning, President Barack Obama's journey to the Oval Office has been a series of both historical and controversial events. The first 100 days of his Presidency will give the world stage a glimpse of what's to come from this new generation of leadership. AM 870 KRLA and our show hosts have been watching closely, and now, they're ready to give you their critique. Join KRLA's Mike Gallagher, Hugh Hewitt, and Dennis Prager as they critique the first 100 days of President Barack Obama's term as President of the United States...

There is a number of ways to describe how it feels to sit a few feet from the leader of the free world in the Oval Office at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in an informal, free-wheeling meeting with the President. Overwhelming. Surreal. Amazing. Educational. Inspirational. Most of all, one is consumed with a feeling of incredible gratitude that this privilege and opportunity has been extended. I suppose the only thing more thrilling than spending an hour and fifteen minutes with a handful of my talk radio colleagues in the Oval Office this week for a combination on-the-record/off-the-record visit with the President...

The Salem-owned stations have provided the major-market backbone for (Laura) Ingraham’s Talk Radio Network-syndicated show, but today appears to be their last day together. That’s what lies behind yesterday’s announcement that in southern California, Saul Levine’s L.A.-market KGIL/1260 and San Diego-market sister XESURF/540 will pick up Laura beginning next week. That’s because Laura’s off of Salem’s KRLA (870). I believe she’ll also be off the Salem conservative talk stations in places like Philadelphia (WNTP/990) and Chicago (WIND/560). Earlier this Summer, Laura was locked out (she says) by Talk Radio Network as they began to negotiate a renewal of her five-year...

A Los Angeles man is suing conservative Talker KRLA-AM/Los Angeles claiming the station, and parent Salem Communications, misrepresented their broadcast license by serving the interest of the Republican Party rather than the public reports the Glendale News Press. David Birke filed the complaint on August 27 against seven talk hosts, Salem and Salem President/CEO Ed Atsinger, claiming that they use the public airwaves to push a Republican agenda. Syndicated hosts Laura Ingraham, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Miller, Mike Gallagher and Kevin James are listed as defendants. According to the complaint, "Salem Entities and Atsinger had no intention...

Watching a steady stream of Democrats like Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, and Chuck Schumer each take their turn delightedly pummeling President Bush over the war in Iraq today, I couldn’t help but think of fellow conservatives who are starting to give aid and comfort to these Democrat Party loyal oppositionists. According to Byron York of the National Review, the Republican Party base has simply decided to throw Mr. Bush under the wheels of the bus. Since so many of us disagree with him on things like illegal immigration and Scooter Libby, York opines that a whole bunch of Republican loyalists...

Let's be generous and chalk it up to the early-morning hour. Otherwise we'd have to come down hard on radio host Mike Gallagher, who as a guest on this morning's Fox & Friends Weekend went ga-ga for Barack Obama. It's one thing to acknowledge as did Mike that Obama has appeal as a candidate. But, interviewed by Keran Chetry, it was Gallagher's praise for Obama's substance that shocked, coming as it did from a putative conservative. Said Gallagher: "He's got some pretty solid ideas. He's a moderate." Moderate?? If Mike would check Obama's record, he'd find that in addition to...

On Tuesday's Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann fretted about an Oval Office meeting of President Bush and several conservative talk radio hosts -- verbally tagged by Olbermann as "right-wing radio yackers" and labelled on-screen as the "Legion of Doom" -- as the Countdown host contended that Bush was devoting "90 minutes worth of your taxpayer dollars" to the meeting. And in an amusing faux pas, Olbermann's staff, for the second time in less than a year, accidentally displayed a photograph of former liberal Democratic Senator Max Cleland instead of conservative talk radio host Neal Boortz. During the show's opening...

President Bush discussed his policies with conservative radio hosts last month at the White House, including, from left, Mike Gallagher, Neal Boortz, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and Michael Medved. WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 — On an overcast Friday morning last month, White House aides ushered an influential group of conservative radio hosts into the Oval Office for a private audience with the president. For an hour and a half, Mr. Bush discussed his case for the war in Iraq, his immigration proposals and even the personality of his Scottish terrier Barney, who scratched on the door during the session until the...

Get ready for the crazies.

The Westboro Baptist Church planned to protest the funerals of the Amish school children. Shirley Phelps-Roper and Mike have agreed that the church will not protest at the funerals in exchange for an hour of airtime--Oct. 5th at 10am est--on the Mike Gallagher Show.

President Bush told a group of radio talk show hosts that the war on terror must be framed in terms of values, not religion. Coulter found herself in the uncharacteristic position of being upstaged by her introducer, Mike Gallagher. He told the audience he was fresh back from an hour-and-45-minute session which President Bush held in the Oval Office Friday afternoon with him and four other conservative talk show hosts: Atlanta’s Neal Boortz, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and Michael Medved. Rush Limbaugh couldn’t make it, he said. Though he said this session was supposed to be off the record, Gallagher...

Racism, bigotry and discrimination have been completely eliminated in the United States of America. There is no more racial injustice to be found. Because when the FBI is summoned to a small town in Louisiana to investigate an allegation of a school bus driver making black children ride in the back of the bus, there must be no serious instances of race-related problems left. I’ll spare you all the specific details of this preposterous situation. I can sum up what happened, based on numerous news reports, in one sentence: a white female veteran school bus driver told some black students...

Washington County Commissioner and Pennsylvania 12th district Republican Congressional nominee Diana Irey – the woman standing up to U.S. Rep. Jack Murtha – will make two national media appearances today: first as an in-studio guest on Mike Gallagher’s nationally-syndicated Salem Communications radio show, and then as an in-studio guest on FOX News Channel’s “Dayside.” WHO: PA-12 GOP candidate Diana Irey WHAT: Guest appearance on “The Mike Gallagher Show” WHEN: Tuesday, June 22, 2006 10:05 AM EDT WHERE: 200+ radio stations around the country

by Mark Finkelstein June 19, 2006 - 06:32. To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy: if you're an American who wants marriage to be reserved exclusively for one man and one woman . . . you might be a yahoo! Don't believe me? Ask liberal Newsday columnist Ellis Henican. He appeared on Fox & Friends First this morning to debate radio talk show host Mike Gallagher on a variety of topics, including the Democrats' recently announced six-point plan to be implemented should they take back the House in the November elections. Gallagher argued that this was something the Dems cooked up on the...

To update on the CFIR rally on April 8, it seems that some corporate bigwigs are throwing their weight around trying stifle any attempt at a significant rally to close our borders, at least when it comes to allowing their on-air assets to take part. I just got this e-mail from CFIR Dallas: Friends, Mike Gallagher, KSKY, 660am, 6-9a.m., has had to put aside his plan to hold a protest on April 8th. The reason: The companies who own the other stations would not allow their talk show hosts to take part. Gallagher feels that he would need help from...

hubba12@mindspring.com from: Did you or your children ever serve in the military. Of course not. Go Iraqi insurgents! Defeat Bush and the rest of the Chicken Hawk bas**rds. mac.lilly@verizon.net from: You people are so despicable. You are going out to harass a greiving mother? This woman has a right as an American Citizen to protest and demand answers for the loss of her son. If you support the troops so much, why don't you encourage your listeners to enlist instead of trashing a woman. There are more mothers coming. Are you going to continue to trash and harass those mothers...

Who would have ever thought that organizing a trip to Crawford, Texas, would result in someone writing me hoping that my wife gets cancer and dies and my sons are killed in a terrible accident? That sentiment was fairly typical of the hundreds of e-mails we've received after our bus trip to Crawford Friday night to show support for President Bush and the soldiers fighting the war on terror. Evidently, our little adventure has touched a raw nerve in the fierce anti-war crowd. Story Continues Below First Name: E-mail Address: As I understand it, our Friday night trip to Crawford...
