Don’t Let Doomers and RINOs Hand Our Big, Beautiful Asylum to the Inmates

Thursday, September 17, 2026

Mike pushes back on the growing sense of political doom surrounding the midterms, arguing that Republicans risk talking themselves into defeat before voters even head to the polls. With Congress taking another lengthy break after just seven workdays and establishment Republicans like George Will and Karl Rove openly breaking with Trump-era politics, Mike sees a broader fight over whether the Republican Party will remain focused on the voters who put it in power. He acknowledges the very real frustrations over gas prices, the economy and the war with Iran while making the case that those concerns shouldn't erase the administration's record on taxes, immigration and the border. The question Mike keeps coming back to is whether conservatives will show up despite the pessimism—or allow what he calls the “doomers” and “RINOs” to convince them that the fight is already lost.

Too Old, Too Scared, Too Soft, Too Naive: Hard Truths Conservatives Can’t Ignore

Tuesday, September 15, 2026

Mike tackles some uncomfortable questions for conservatives, starting with the growing debate over legal immigration and whether the movement has shifted its focus beyond illegal immigration. He also takes aim at the question of age and fitness in political leadership, asking whether Mitch McConnell is capable of continuing to serve effectively in the Senate. Then Mike returns to the debate over artificial intelligence, weighing the risks of unchecked development against the potential economic consequences of slowing American innovation. Finally, Bethany Miller joins Mike to discuss why young Americans are increasingly consuming political information through social media and how that environment may be contributing to political violence, distorted narratives, and a culture of victimhood.

Glee Over Kirk, Fear Over AI: Democrats’ Hate-and-Hysteria Machine

Monday, September 14, 2026

Mike digs into the disturbing reaction to Charlie Kirk’s assassination, from people openly celebrating his death to the vandalism of memorials honoring his life and faith. He examines what it means when political disagreement gives way to outright celebration of murder—and whether there can still be common ground with people who embrace that kind of hatred. Then Mike turns to the growing panic over artificial intelligence, questioning the dire warnings that AI could wipe out humanity and whether some of the loudest voices sounding the alarm have an interest in creating more government oversight. As fear once again becomes a powerful political tool, Mike asks whether Americans should be terrified of AI—or recognize that this technology could ultimately do far more good than harm.

Mike Gallagher 9/11: Never Forget—or Never Learn?

Friday, September 11, 2026

Mike marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, by looking back at the morning that changed America forever—and revisiting the raw audio from his own broadcast inside the Empire State Building as the attacks unfolded. He remembers the confusion and fear of those first moments, the frantic efforts to keep the show on the air, and the people who were suddenly forced to confront the unimaginable. Mike also reconnects with longtime colleague Joey Hudson to reminisce about how they communicated in the days before smartphones and how 9/11 changed even the most ordinary parts of American life. And 25 years later, as TSA begins allowing some travelers to once again bring loved ones to the gate, Mike asks whether America is finally beginning to reclaim traditions that disappeared after that terrible day.

The Greatest Midterm Show on Earth Hits Dallas

Wednesday, September 9, 2026

Joey Hudson, filling in for Mike, takes a look at the Republican Party’s unprecedented midterm convention in Dallas, where the goal is simple: turn the Trump-era enthusiasm into votes in November. With Donald Trump positioned as the party’s “greatest showman,” Joey examines how Republicans are hoping to put Trump’s name, policies and record at the center of the midterm fight. But there’s another side to the Dallas gathering: eye-popping fundraising prices, including $250,000 for a roundtable with the president and $35,000 for a photo with Vice President J.D. Vance. Joey also questions whether a convention this expensive can really energize ordinary voters—and whether the major networks’ limited coverage could leave much of America unaware that the “greatest midterm show on Earth” is even happening.

$1.1M for a Killer Mom, Millions for the Midterms: When Is Enough Enough?

Tuesday, September 8, 2026

Joey Hudson, filling in for Mike, digs into the fallout from the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, including the more than $1.2 million raised for her parents and the growing debate over whether that kind of public support has gone too far. He examines the questions surrounding Clancy’s mental health defense, the possibility of a retrial, and her attorney’s unusual appeal to President Trump for a pardon. Joey also addresses the conspiracy theories targeting Clancy’s ex-husband and whether those spreading accusations could face defamation lawsuits. Then the conversation turns to the price of politics, as Joey breaks down the eye-popping costs of attending the GOP’s upcoming midterm gathering—including tens of thousands of dollars for access and photos with top Republican officials—and asks when fundraising crosses the line into excess.
