Mike Gallagher Podcast

The press is in full meltdown mode after Trump banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House press pool. Now the major networks are refusing to cover Trump at all. Then, Bill Maher and Jessica Tarlov's exchange about the craziness of the left had us rolling. And for everyone slamming Trump's proposed $5K payout to Americans—wait until you hear the astronomical amount California proposed to pay black Americans for reparations.  ----- M and M EXTRA: Two iconic talk radio hosts.

With the midterms just 43 days away, Mike and Senator Rick Scott make the case that the central political choice facing voters is about more than personalities or campaign distractions—it’s about competing visions for the role of government and the American dream. Scott argues that Republicans need to focus relentlessly on affordability, jobs, education, public safety and opportunity, while Mike zeroes in on the growing influence of socialism within the Democratic Party. They also confront a problem Republicans can't ignore: even with accomplishments on the border, jobs and crime, voters are still feeling the squeeze of higher costs. The conversation ultimately turns to whether Republicans can make the case for freedom and opportunity strongly enough to cut through the noise and remind voters what they believe government should—and shouldn't—do.

As fears about artificial intelligence dominate the headlines, Craig W. Stanfill’s science-fiction thriller Carbon Zero is arriving at a remarkably timely moment. The longtime AI pioneer joins Mike to explore the frightening possibilities behind a rogue AI, from taking down the power grid to unleashing cyberattacks, while explaining why the technology is already too widespread to simply put back in the bottle. Stanfill draws on decades of experience in artificial intelligence to separate legitimate risks from the panic, arguing that the real challenge is figuring out how to use AI to defend against the threats AI itself creates. Their conversation gets into the increasingly human behavior of today’s AI, the dangers of giving powerful systems goals they may pursue in unexpected ways, and why cybersecurity may ultimately require AI to fight AI.

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.

He's running as the Democrat for Senate in Texas, but the beliefs that dominate James Talarico's church will blow your mind. ----- M and M Experience: Two iconic talk radio hosts.

Mike sets the record straight on his position regarding mass migration, admitting he was wrong to separate the debate over illegal immigration from concerns about the broader impact of mass migration on American communities. He also examines the latest developments surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination, including the Kirk family’s plans to pursue legal action over alleged security failures that they say could have prevented his death. Mike then turns the spotlight to Israel’s Magen David Adom, speaking with the organization’s chief of staff about the emergency medical teams responding to terror attacks and other crises across Israel.

Mike offers Mark an apology for his initial position on legal immigration in America.

Mike and Mark rekindle a radio disagreement over whether we have too much legal immigration, then, after a quick story about a real estate scare, it's time to assess who is doing the fearmongering over AI, and then revisit the big winners from last night's Emmys. ---- M and M EXTRA: Two iconic talk radio hosts.

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.

Mike and Mark clash over whether it is time for America to stop ALL immigration, not just the illegal kind.

Mike and Mark kick off the week reflecting on some of the weekend reflections on 9/11, and the people who take solemn occasions as opportunities to reveal the darkness of their souls. Then, a review of AI's cheerleaders versus its critics, with speculation as to what's driving the opposition. ---- M and M EXTRA: Two iconic talk radio hosts. One unfiltered daily conversation.

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.

There is a new rash of panic over the rise of artificial intelligence, and this time it's coming from AI company who are developing it.

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.

25 years later, Mark and Mike recall their experiences on the morning on September 11, 2001.

Mike honors the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk one year after his assassination, reflecting on the remarkable impact his friend and Salem Media colleague made in just 31 years. Pastor Frank Turek, a close friend and mentor to Charlie who was with him when he was killed, joins Mike to remember Charlie’s leadership, his faith, and the issues he cared most deeply about. They also confront the ugly conspiracy theories and accusations that have emerged since Charlie’s death and the toll they have taken on his family and those closest to him. Above all, Mike and Pastor Turek reflect on Charlie’s enduring influence and the thousands of people who say his life and message brought them closer to their faith.

One year after the horrifying assassination of Charlie Kirk, Mike and Mark remember that titan of conservatism and the founder of Turning Point USA. ---- M and M EXTRA: Two iconic talk radio hosts.

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.

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.

Mike and Mark look at the internal Republican struggle as the establishment seeks to resist the MAGA transition; then, the corresponding Democrat phenomenon, but it’s their establishment that may save them. ---- M and M EXTRA: Two iconic talk radio hosts.

Mike digs into the latest developments in the Lindsay Clancy trial, where a lone juror appears to be standing between a verdict and a potential mistrial after six days of deliberations. He questions how the case reached this point and takes aim at the growing public sympathy and support for Clancy, arguing that the three children she admitted to killing should not be forgotten amid the debate over postpartum psychosis and mental illness. Mike also speaks with a mother who has spent decades navigating the mental-health system for her son, offering a different perspective on the failures surrounding treatment and accountability. As the jury remains deadlocked, Mike asks the uncomfortable question at the heart of the case: where is the line between understanding mental illness and holding someone responsible for horrific violence?

Mike and Mark walk the line between privacy concerns and law enforcement benefits in tracking the debate over Flock cameras; then it's time to speculate about the holdup in the Lindsay Clancy jury room. ---- M and M EXTRA: Two iconic talk radio hosts.

Mike tackles the growing influence of far-left extremism, from the disturbing celebration of political violence to increasingly radical positions on issues like voter ID. He examines the rhetoric surrounding recent acts of violence and asks how Americans can have a productive conversation with people who believe political enemies can be justified targets. Mike also takes a closer look at Texas Senate candidate James Talarico’s comments on voter ID and what they reveal about the ideological divide heading into the 2026 elections. Plus, Mike recounts his hilariously awkward encounter with far-left Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed at the airport—and the two words he immediately wished he could take back...

Mike shares with Mark his chance encounter with a DSA congressional candidate at a New York Airport.

Mark describes the obstructions of soft Republicans in Texas and around the country as the necessity arises for unity to defeat James Talarico. ---- M and M EXTRA: Two iconic talk radio hosts.

Joey Hudson, sitting in for Mike, breaks down a revealing House vote in which 192 Democrats refused to support a resolution condemning socialism. With Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates gaining ground and Zohran Mamdani helping push the movement further into the mainstream, Joey asks whether socialism is becoming the new Democratic Party playbook. He also looks at the staggering amounts of money pouring into the 2026 midterms and why Republicans should be taking the battleground Senate races seriously. And as the election approaches, Joey argues conservatives can't afford to sit back and assume victory—they need to make their case and turn voters out.

Mark plots a course for GOP success to the midterms with 63 days to go; local mayor in Mississippi pushes back against lowering flags for Dolly Parton; Lindsay Clancy jury deadlocked. ---- M and M EXTRA: Two iconic talk radio hosts.

Joey Hudson fills in for Mike and runs through the Trump administration’s biggest claimed accomplishments, from border enforcement and tax cuts to energy production, deregulation, and lower prescription drug costs. He also tackles the political reality facing Republicans heading into the midterms, including a caller’s blunt warning that younger voters may care more about affordability and the economy than a list of policy wins. The conversation turns heated over Iran, with callers debating whether the U.S. should stay the course or bring the conflict to an end. Joey also digs into Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ decision to remove Flock cameras, the White House ballroom fight, massive political spending, and the latest legal developments.

With Mike away briefly, Mark gets us ready for a midterm election that may find the war still raging and gas still around four dollars; then he shares details of solutions floated to the data center and Flock camera controversies. ---- M and M EXTRA: Two iconic talk radio hosts.

Joey Hudson fills in for Mike and opens the week with a look at President Trump’s latest escalation against Iran, including U.S. strikes on Iranian military targets and the president’s warning that Iran will not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. He also takes on a growing Democratic push to expand the Supreme Court, with Congressman James Clyburn backing a “baker’s dozen” of 13 justices and raising questions about what could happen if Democrats regain control of Congress. Meanwhile, the Trump administration announces a sweeping crackdown on illegal truck drivers and fraudulent CDL practices, targeting driving schools accused of serious violations and networks involved in drug and human trafficking. Joey also breaks down the latest fight with Canada, Trump’s battle with NBC, rising grocery prices, and the stakes of the upcoming midterm elections.

Mike takes aim at Canada after President Trump renames Lake Ontario “Lake America,” asking whether the move is another shot across the bow in the growing fight over trade, tariffs, and a Canadian government that seems determined to push back. He also questions why Canada’s public broadcaster would instruct journalists not to call 9/11 a “terrorist attack” as America prepares to mark the 25th anniversary of the attacks. Mike then digs into the growing backlash against data centers, arguing that Americans are being manipulated by misinformation—including alleged Chinese influence online—while overlooking the jobs, infrastructure, and economic benefits these facilities can bring to struggling communities. From data centers to Flock cameras, Mike challenges the latest waves of outrage and asks whether Americans are thinking for themselves or simply falling for the narratives being pushed at them.

Mike and Mark talk about President Trump's latest troll on Canada; renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America!

Mike and Mark cover the closing arguments of the Lindsay Clancy trial in Massachusetts, examine Weather figures in pop culture and sports should ever share their political beliefs, and then address the changing tide in the debate over Flock surveillance cameras. ---- M and M EXTRA: Two iconic talk radio hosts.

Mike looks at Dolly Parton’s unique ability to entertain without turning her celebrity into a political soapbox, arguing that entertainers can simply do what they’re paid to do without lecturing their audiences. He revisits Dolly’s famous refusal to weigh in on politics and the rare universality of her appeal before shifting to the debate over data centers and the billions of dollars being spent to address alleged harms from social media. Mike questions whether government settlements and lawsuits against companies like Meta actually solve the problems facing young people—or simply allow parents and individuals to avoid taking responsibility. He also weighs in on Marjorie Taylor Greene’s criticism of President Trump, Trump’s decision to endorse Darlene Graham Nordone over Ralph Norman, and the president’s willingness to forgive some former critics while holding others to their past political choices.

Mike and Mark clash over the classic "shut up and dribble" debate.

Mike and Mark analyze how Darline Graham pulled off her South Carolina Republican primary runoff win; then its a social media segment examining why Meta settled with several states to avoid a costly trial; and the final act, a tribute to the great Dolly Parton. ---- M and M EXTRA: Two iconic talk radio hosts.

Mike reflects on Dolly Parton’s death and the rare sense of unity surrounding her legacy before turning to Darlene Graham Nordone’s South Carolina Senate victory and the increasingly bitter state of American politics. He questions Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s remarks about blowing up the White House ballroom and argues that political opponents can disagree without celebrating violence or hatred. Mike is joined by Joe Piscopo, who shares personal memories of working with Dolly and talks about her warmth, generosity, musical brilliance, and ability to bring people together.

Darline Graham-Nordone came out on top of the GOP Senate runoff in South Carolina. Mike and Mark look ahead to November.

Mike reports from South Carolina, where he interviewed Norman.  Who will win? What factors will South Carolina voters rely on tonight?

Mike takes the show on the road to Rock Hill, South Carolina, for a special election-day broadcast focused on the razor-thin Senate race between Ralph Norman and Darlene Graham Nordone. He sits down with Norman to discuss the race, President Trump’s endorsement of his opponent, the candidates’ records, and the central questions surrounding national security, immigration, and the Trump agenda. Mike then talks with Trafalgar Group pollster Robert Cahaly about the extraordinary 47.9%–47.8% polling dead heat and what turnout in the Upstate, coastal counties, and among seniors could mean for the result. The conversation also examines election polling, the independence of polling firms, and why this South Carolina Senate contest has become such an unpredictable political showdown.

Mike and Mark examine the depths of leftist rhetoric in celebrating violence toward their opponents; What is driving the empathy and outright support for Lindsay Clancy in her murder trial?; Self-driving technology is winning over skeptics. ---- M and M EXTRA: Two iconic talk radio hosts.

Mike examines the growing intensity of political hatred in America, from threats against President Trump and his family to Democrats allegedly facing hostility from members of their own party. He focuses on the public celebration and mockery surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination, questioning what it means when political violence and cruelty become entertainment or campaign strategy. Mike also discusses the Washington Post’s reinstatement of a reporter who was fired over her reaction to Kirk’s death, using the controversy to examine unions, workplace standards, and free speech. As the midterms approach, he asks whether embracing this kind of political hostility will actually help Democrats at the ballot box—or expose a deeper moral problem within the country.

Mike heads to South Carolina for the runoff between Ralph Norman and Darline Graham-Nordone.
