The sources support that the Dow set a record close around the time of the post (CNN's fast facts list a record close of 54,085.88 on August 4, 2026), but no source counts record closes or mentions a 23rd record, so the claimed count is unaddressed.
What was said
… I know, I know. We did this one day, and I said, oh, the Dow's way up, and by the time we were done, it was it's up almost 800. That means no ticker on CNN or MSNBC today. No, no Dow updates. Another it's almost 54,000. It's up for the 23rd time. A record is set. We're going to get, we're going to get to Francesca this week. Belongs to El.

The Gerry Callahan Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. CNN's Dow fast facts list August 4, 2026 as a record high close at 54,085.88 points, consistent with the post's claim that a record was set on that day.[1]
Supports. Other sources place earlier 2026 record closes on July 6 (53,055.91) and August 3 (53,178.41), showing the Dow was setting repeated records in this period.[2][3]
Context. No source counts how many times the Dow has set a record, so the '23rd time' figure cannot be checked against the sources.[1][2][4][5]
Context. The post's own remark that the Dow is 'up for the 23rd time' is the claimant's statement and cannot serve as corroboration for the count.
