Mike Gallagher Podcast

Mike calls on America’s patriots to stand tall as left-wing outrage targets everything from the USA hockey team’s gold-medal celebration to FBI Director Kash Patel joining the locker room party. He tackles growing frustration over the Epstein files and fears that Republican voter apathy could cost crucial elections, warning that staying home only hands power back to America-hating radicals. From Olympic pride to midterm momentum, Mike makes the case that patriotism, turnout, and unity—not outrage—will decide the country’s future.

Mike reacts to Susan Rice’s viral warning that Democrats will pursue an “accountability agenda” against corporations, media, and institutions that supported Trump—raising alarms about political retribution if power shifts in November. He also breaks down a major Supreme Court ruling striking down Trump’s tariffs in a 6–3 decision, calling it a serious blow to the President’s economic strategy and questioning the court’s consistency. Mike ties it all to growing voter frustration, the stakes of the midterms, and why Republican turnout could determine whether Trump’s agenda survives—or gets dismantled.

Mike sits down with the Director of Operations for American Independence Gold, David Harper.

This is the Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review Podcast for Friday, February 20th, 2026. This week, Marco Rubio evokes cheers at the Munich Security Conference, while Democrats embarrass themselves.  Plus, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis proposes a radical idea. And, President Trump pays tribute to the late Jesse Jackson, who passed away this week That and more coming up on the Week in Review. .

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.

Mike takes on the growing fight over voter ID, exposing what he calls the absurd contradiction at the heart of the debate—Americans need identification for nearly every aspect of daily life, yet Democrats claim requiring ID to vote is somehow unreasonable. He breaks down the battle over the SAVE Act, Republican frustration with the filibuster, and why election integrity has become a defining political flashpoint. Mike also calls out media bias, cultural flashpoints from Munich, and what he sees as a coordinated effort to weaken trust in law enforcement while protecting political allies. At its core, Mike argues the fight over voter ID isn’t about access—it’s about protecting the integrity of American elections.

Mike spotlights Marco Rubio’s stunning Munich Security Conference speech, calling it a defining moment for America’s foreign policy and a powerful defense of Western civilization. He breaks down Rubio’s warnings on mass migration, global institutions, and cultural decline—and why the performance has many already looking toward 2028. As Rubio earns international praise, Mike contrasts his leadership with Democrats struggling to articulate a coherent vision on the world stage. The question now isn’t just about policy—it’s about who will lead the next era of American strength.

Mike reacts to new economic data showing inflation at its lowest level in years, alongside falling crime, rising wages, strong job growth, and a booming stock market—raising a critical question: if the country is thriving, why does voter frustration and perceived Democrat momentum still exist? He explores whether messaging failures, media narratives, lingering pocketbook pain, or lack of accountability on major scandals like Epstein are keeping voters skeptical. Callers weigh in on whether frustration, distrust, or strategic Democrat positioning is shaping election outcomes despite positive economic indicators. Mike breaks down the disconnect between measurable success and public perception—and what it could mean for future elections.

This is the Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review Podcast for Friday, February 13th, 2026. This week, The Ring Camera stirs a controversy, Turning Point USA cuts into the Big Game audience, new revelations about President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, and Bad Bunny performs the halftime show entirely in Spanish.  That and more coming up on the Week in Review.

Mike opens with a chilling case out of Florida, where a nurse allegedly threatened harm to patients over political differences—sparking swift action from state officials and raising urgent questions about extremism in trusted professions. He explores how media rhetoric and partisan hostility may be emboldening dangerous behavior, while emphasizing accountability and the rule of law. At the same time, Mike highlights major conservative wins: plunging crime rates, stronger job numbers, border enforcement progress, and the House passage of the SAVE Act to protect election integrity. Even as leftist outrage and activism intensify, the scoreboard shows conservative policies delivering real-world results.

Mike sounds the alarm on what’s at stake in 2026, warning that Republican infighting over the SAVE Act could hand power back to a radical left determined to dismantle election integrity. He calls out GOP holdouts siding against voter ID, exposes the media’s refusal to credit Trump for plunging crime and stronger job numbers, and argues that complacency now would invite chaos later. From border enforcement to ballot security, Mike makes the case that losing the midterms wouldn’t just shift control—it would unleash policies that fundamentally transform the country.

Mike dismantles the latest Epstein smears by breaking down newly released FBI documents showing Trump reported Jeffrey Epstein to police years before the scandal exploded. He explains why the media’s obsession with speculation distracts from facts, and how guilt-by-association politics is being weaponized to destroy reputations. Mike then widens the lens to culture and immigration, calling out the NFL halftime backlash, elite contempt for American identity, and Democrats caught on tape saying the opposite of what they preach today. The throughline is simple: the truth keeps colliding with narratives built to sabotage values, culture, and trust in elections.

Mike takes on the NFL’s Super Bowl halftime show, calling it a deliberate humiliation of its own fanbase and a cultural middle finger to America during its 250th year. He explains why the lyrics, symbolism, and language choice weren’t accidental—and why this moment was far worse than past protests. Mike then breaks down the massive success of Turning Point USA’s alternative halftime show, revealing how millions of viewers walked away from the broadcast and what that means for the future of legacy media. The message is clear: Americans were given a choice, and they chose differently.

Mike takes on the backlash against Trump’s National Prayer Breakfast remarks, calling out fellow conservatives who criticize his faith style while ignoring his record on religious liberty. He reacts to media and listener complaints, argues Trump doesn’t need to sound like a preacher to defend people of faith, and fields calls from listeners divided over loyalty and tone. Mike then pivots to breaking news out of Washington, Democratic meltdowns over voter ID and the SAVE Act, and why figures like Elizabeth Warren, Jamie Raskin, and even Mike Pence are on the wrong side of election integrity.

This is the Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review Podcast for Friday, February 6th, 2026. This week, singers Billie Eilish and Jellyroll speak out at the Grammys, the internet attacks Erika Kirk, and Florida moves to end in-state Tuition for Illegals. Plus, the latest on the mother of Today Show Host Savannah Guthrie, who was abducted from her home.  That and more coming up on the Week in Review.

Mike calls out a twisted moment in New York politics after Mayor Zohran Mamdani visits a knife-wielding attacker in the hospital while the injured police officer is seemingly ignored. He breaks down bodycam footage, the push to avoid criminal charges, and the left’s insistence that social workers—not cops—should handle violent encounters. Listener calls spark a heated debate over tasers, mental health, and split-second life-or-death decisions. To Mike, it’s a clear case of Democrats living in a reversed reality where criminals are centered and law enforcement is treated as the problem.

Mike takes on Democrats calling voter ID laws “racist” and dismantles the argument piece by piece, comparing it to everyday ID requirements Americans accept without question. He zeroes in on the SAVE Act, polling that shows overwhelming support for voter ID—including among Black voters—and why Democratic leaders like Chuck Schumer keep invoking Jim Crow anyway. Mike also reacts to explosive comments from Jerry Nadler about masked law enforcement and argues it shows a party spiraling as it loses public support. The throughline is simple: election integrity is popular, and Democrats know it—so they’re attacking the premise instead of defending their position.

Mike calls out the left’s glaring hypocrisy as anti-ICE rhetoric collides with the urgent search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother in Tucson. After months of trashing law enforcement as “fascists” and “thugs,” the same voices are now praying police do their jobs and bring an 84-year-old woman home safely. Mike breaks down how attacking ICE is attacking all law enforcement—and why that narrative collapses the moment a high-profile crime hits close to home. The result is a sobering reality check on selective outrage and who Americans actually rely on when things go wrong.

76 percent of black voters say they support a voter ID law. And just like that - poof - there goes the Democrat Party’s narrative.

Mike takes aim at the Grammy Awards and the culture clash on full display, contrasting celebrity activism with moments of genuine faith. He breaks down the anti-ICE messaging, virtue signaling from artists like Billie Eilish, and Bill Maher’s sharp rejection of performative politics. Then comes the contrast: Jelly Roll’s raw, unapologetic testimony about Jesus, redemption, and gratitude that cut through the noise. Mike asks the question few others will—were the Grammys about politics and protest, or something far more eternal?

Mike dives into the breaking story of Don Lemon’s arrest in Los Angeles over the Minneapolis church protest. From his days at CNN to his current podcasting and street reporting, Lemon now faces federal charges under the FACE Act for allegedly intimidating churchgoers.

While stressing that any real attack on a member of Congress must be condemned, Mike explores why public trust is so low that even moments like this are met with disbelief.

Mike takes on the growing debate over Alex Pretti’s death and what the Second Amendment does—and does not—protect. He breaks down whether carrying a firearm at a volatile protest crosses the line from exercising a right to reckless judgment, and how responsibility factors into lawful carry. The discussion zeroes in on mistakes made by Pretti, law enforcement, and political leaders, while asking the harder question conservatives are wrestling with: where do rights end when chaos begins?

Mike digs into the political fallout from a deadly Minneapolis shooting as Trump sends border czar Tom Homan to the city and signals deeper federal involvement. He breaks down the conflicting narratives, questions surrounding the use of force, and mounting frustration inside law enforcement over DHS messaging. With protests, fraud investigations, and ICE enforcement colliding, Mike asks the central question hanging over it all: how does Trump respond next—and what does it mean for his immigration agenda?

President Trump and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are now working together to stop the insanity in Minneapolis. 

Mike and Mark discuss the latest in Minneapolis and ask what Trump will do to remedy the situation.  

Mike questions whether the media is hyping a massive winter storm or responsibly warning Americans about a real threat as snow and ice bear down on much of the country. He breaks down the difference between preparation and panic, calling out what he sees as “weather hysteria” while still stressing the real dangers of ice, power outages, and travel. Listeners weigh in as Mike digs into how modern forecasting, media incentives, and common sense collide when storms are labeled “historic.”

Joey Hudson, filling in for Mike, breaks down breaking news out of Minnesota as the Trump administration ramps up ICE enforcement and arrests key activists tied to recent anti-ICE chaos in Minneapolis. He zeroes in on mass arrests, criminal illegals being taken off the streets, and the media meltdown over Trump publicly highlighting mugshots of violent offenders.

Joey Hudson, filling in for Mike, breaks down why former CNN host Don Lemon could now face criminal charges after helping coordinate and participate in the disruption of a Minneapolis church service. He walks through new video and admissions that contradict Lemon’s initial claims, and explains how the DOJ investigation is escalating as activists openly dare authorities to act. The show also digs into Lemon’s attempt to deflect criticism with claims of racism and white supremacy—and why that narrative is falling flat with the public.

Joey Hudson breaks down the moment anti-ICE protesters stormed a Minneapolis church mid-service, forcing worship to stop as chants echoed from the pews. The focus turns to Don Lemon’s role inside the church, lecturing pastors on the First Amendment while the congregation was driven out. Joey slams Minnesota leaders for fueling the chaos and asks where protest ends and outright disruption of religious freedom begins.

Mike zeroes in on Minneapolis as violence and chaos continue, blasting city and state leaders for refusing to condemn attacks on ICE and law enforcement. He argues the unrest isn’t spontaneous but the result of political cover for radical activists opposing deportations. The episode also dives into Trump’s sweeping healthcare proposal and the political risk of his push to acquire Greenland as midterms approach. At the center of it all, Mike warns Minneapolis has become a flashpoint showing what happens when Democrats choose ideology over order.

Mike and Mark break down if the United States really needs Greenland.

Drawing on Jennifer's reporting and personal insights, Jennifer discusses the themes and experiences behind her RedState piece “Dear White Liberals: Blacks and Hispanics Want No Part of Your Anti-ICE Protests.”  https://redstate.com/jenniferoo/2026/01/11/dear-white-liberals-blacks-and-hispanics-want-no-part-of-your-anti-ice-protests-n2198018

Mike and Mark debate if Big Pharma Is Ripping Off America 

Mike zeroes in on anti-ICE protests and asks why they’re overwhelmingly driven by affluent white liberals while Black and Hispanic communities stay away. He breaks down a viral confrontation outside a federal courthouse, calling out media spin that downplays agitator behavior and rewrites what’s plainly visible on video. Mike also traces how Democrats once openly supported deporting criminal illegals before flipping into outright hostility toward ICE under Trump. The episode argues the outrage isn’t about enforcement tactics—it’s about refusing to accept the election outcome and the rule of law.

Mike and Mark debate if it is necessary for people to pick sides among the fractured sets of right wing media figures such as Megyn Kelly, Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson. 

Mike pushes back against left-wing claims surrounding the shooting of Renee Good, calling out what he says is blatant gaslighting and dishonest media narratives. He zeroes in on Ilhan Omar’s comments, arguing they ignore clear video evidence and undermine basic law enforcement reality. Mike contends the outrage isn’t really about the shooting, but about advancing the broader goal of stopping immigration enforcement altogether. He frames the moment as a test of whether the right will stay grounded in facts while continuing to defend law and order under constant political pressure.

Mike reacts to Jimmy Kimmel holding up a shirt on national TV reading “Donald J. Trump Is Going to Kill You,” calling it reckless rhetoric in the aftermath of a deadly anti-ICE confrontation. He argues the joke fuels anti-law-enforcement hostility and puts both federal officers and the president at risk.
