Mike sounds the alarm on growing Republican voter apathy, warning that staying home could hand victories to Democrats despite strong economic numbers and Trump’s rising approval ratings. He presses Congressman Brandon Gill on the urgent need to energize the base, deliver on campaign promises, and keep momentum heading into November. The conversation also dives into frustration over the Epstein files, demands for accountability, and why some conservatives feel disillusioned with Republican leadership. Mike makes the case that the only path forward is to reignite the Republican fire—and show up when it matters most.

Mike takes listeners inside the chaos unfolding across media and politics, starting with Stephen Colbert’s escalating feud with CBS and the growing debate over equal access, FCC pressure, and whether government oversight could backfire on conservative talk radio. He admits where he got the facts wrong, defends free speech across all platforms—even for ideological opponents—and warns that reviving the Fairness Doctrine could destroy independent media voices. Mike then pivots to the political fallout in New York, where newly elected socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani is already raising taxes and raiding reserve funds, leaving residents bracing for the consequences. From network drama to city hall shockwaves, Mike connects the dots between media battles and the real-world policies reshaping American life.
