This week on History's Greatest Idiots, we're trying a slightly different mini-documentary format to explore one of the most bizarre success stories in American comedy: Leo Anthony Gallagher Jr., the man who proved you could become a millionaire by hitting produce with a mallet.From Science to SledgehammersBorn 24th July 1946 in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Leo suffered severe asthma. His family relocated to South Tampa, Florida, for the warm weather. He became a championship roller skater at his father's rink, but wanted to be a scientist. In 1970, he graduated from the University of South Florida with a chemical engineering degree and English literature minor, then worked as a chemist.But when he became road manager for musician Jim Stafford, Kenny Rogers' manager asked if he would open for Rogers on a 100-night tour. Gallagher went from no stage experience to performing in America's largest auditoriums overnight.The Sledge-O-Matic and Cable Television StardomGallagher's big break came in 1975 with an appearance on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. But his 1980 Showtime special launched him to stardom as cable television exploded. The centrepiece was the Sledge-O-Matic, a parody of infomercials. Gallagher smashed apples, oranges, cottage cheese, Big Macs, video game controllers, and finally watermelons. Chunks exploded into the audience.The first rows were covered in plastic sheeting. Audiences brought raincoats. They called it being 'Gallagherized'. From 1981 to 1987, he produced 16 specials on Showtime. During the 1980s and 1990s, he was America's highest-earning stand-up comedian, performing 200 shows yearly for 35 years, over 3,500 performances total, destroying tens of thousands of watermelons.Critics and RankingsWhilst Gallagher sold out theatres, the comedy establishment had mixed feelings. Critics dismissed his act as lowbrow. In 2004, Comedy Central ranked him 100th on their list of greatest stand-up comedians. Dead last. Gallagher was bitter, feeling underappreciated despite massive commercial success.The Brother WarsIn the early 1990s, brother Ron asked to perform Leo's routines. Leo agreed if Ron made it clear he was Ron Gallagher, not Leo. Ron toured as 'Gallagher II'. But promotional materials became unclear. In August 2000, Leo sued for trademark violation. Courts sided with Leo. But Gallagher's entire family sided with Ron. The estrangement lasted for life.The Final ActGallagher continued touring into his 70s. He owned patents for slot machine software. In 2003, he ran for California Governor, finishing 16th of 135 candidates. He appeared in a GEICO commercial. His health declined with three heart attacks between 2011 and 2012, collapsing onstage in Minnesota and before a Dallas show. Each time he recovered and returned. After 2012, he reduced touring. COVID-19 in 2020 stopped him entirely. On 11th November 2022, he died from organ failure in Palm Springs, aged 76.LegacyGallagher never got respect from the comedy establishment, but he had 35 years of sold-out shows, millions of fans, and the satisfaction of making people happy. Not bad for a guy who just wanted to be a scientist.From Science to SledgehammersThe Sledge-O-Matic and Cable Television StardomCritics and RankingsThe Brother WarsThe Final ActLegacy

California Democrats gathered in San Francisco last weekend hoping to find consensus on who should replace Governor Gavin Newsom. They left without a sole candidate leading the race. Nine candidates are still vying for the party's nomination, and after a marathon convention of speeches and delegate votes, no single frontrunner has emerged. KCSB's Manny Rodriguez has the story.

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, history is repeating dangerous patterns from the 1930s, when advanced Germany descended into Nazism and mass murder through citizen denial, weak politicians' acquiescence, and failure to take threats seriously. Today, Tucker Carlson is echoing Goebbels-style propaganda, siding with Iran and Putin against America while pretending patriotism. Why aren't top Republicans throughout Washington calling out Carlson.  They need to stop whispering about him and speak openly and publicly. The same goes for too many in the media, some of which promote him and some of which field his leaks. Also, how does diplomacy work with a hostile regime that prefers war, terrorism, and has killed over a thousand Americans while maiming tens of thousands? Iran cannot be trusted and any progress in talks or deal is meaningless since the regime will not uphold agreements.  Later, Steve Hilton calls in and discusses his run for California Governor. California has failed after 16 years of one-party Democrat rule. The state has the highest poverty rate, highest unemployment, and highest cost of living - it's time for change.  Finally, Mark Penn calls in and praises President Trump's State of the Union speech as exceptionally powerful, with its effective storytelling, patriotic rhetoric, and emotional-policy blend - contrasting it with past speeches like Bill Clinton's. He also explained that the Democrats appearing to win by losing amid widespread voter unease with the economy and both parties. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this hard-hitting 17-minute special edition of The Right Side, Doug Billings breaks down the jaw-dropping viral clip that has already racked up over 20 million views in 24 hours.California Governor Gavin Newsom — the multi-millionaire wine-country Democrat eyeing 2028 — stood in front of a largely Black audience in Atlanta and tried to “relate” by saying:“I'm like you. I'm no better than you. I'm a 960 SAT guy… You've never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech.”Doug delivers the no-spin analysis you won't hear anywhere else: this isn't empathy — it's textbook soft bigotry of low expectations. Hear the full quote, the instant backlash from Ted Cruz, Nicki Minaj, and millions of Americans, the historical roots in the Great Society, and why this moment is waking people up across every race and background.From lowered standards to “equity over excellence,” this clip perfectly exposes the condescending mindset that has dominated the modern left for decades — and why normal Americans are rejecting it in bigger numbers every single day.If you're tired of politicians talking down to voters, this is the episode you need to hear — and share.✅ Hit play, then share it with one friend who needs to see the truth the mainstream media won't touch.✅ Subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss the analysis that cuts through the spin.The Right Side with Doug Billings — Real talk.

In this powerful episode of Unleashing Intuition Secrets, Michael Jaco sits down with California gubernatorial candidate Lewis Herms to discuss his bold vision for transforming California ahead of the June 2, 2026 primary. Running with No Party Preference, Herms shares his strategy for addressing corruption, restoring accountability, and implementing sweeping structural changes across the state. Herms outlines his proposal to eliminate “WHARF” — waste, abuse, redundancy, and fraud — which he believes could reduce government spending by up to 75–80%, allowing for the removal of property and income taxes while potentially lowering sales tax. He discusses his commitment to full financial transparency through a publicly accessible California budget and a proposed exposure.ca.gov platform to identify officials under investigation. The conversation also explores major issues shaping California's future, including combating human and child trafficking, election integrity, public safety reform, and holding leadership accountable. Herms describes plans for a statewide sheriff symposium focused on restoring law enforcement's mission to protect and serve, as well as strategies to reduce regulations, bring businesses back to California, and support farmers in producing cleaner, healthier food. Energy and infrastructure are also central to Herms' platform. He discusses lowering energy costs through emerging technologies such as small modular reactors and landfill-to-energy systems, along with long-term interest in advanced energy solutions. He also shares ideas for improving water security, including raising existing dams and exploring the creation of a major new lake system that could reduce reliance on the Colorado River. Herms explains that victory depends on reaching the millions of Californians who have disengaged from voting, emphasizing the importance of participation, transparency, and citizen involvement in shaping the future of the state. This episode offers insight into Herms' mission, policies, and vision for a restructured California focused on accountability, safety, and practical solutions.
