Is the political narrative the Left has been selling starting to crack under the weight of reality? Mike looks at the shifting polls, economic numbers and growing questions about whether Democrats should be celebrating quite yet as the midterms draw closer. He also dives into the bizarre and deeply troubling case of Tennessee’s botched execution of Krista Pike, raising questions about what happens next and why two recent executions in the state have now failed. A conversation with Roger P. Shulman brings some surprising historical perspective to executions that didn’t go according to plan, while Mike turns to the bigger questions surrounding capital punishment and the system responsible for carrying it out. And with the election just weeks away, Mike examines whether the latest polling headlines are telling the whole story—or whether we’ve seen this movie before.

With 34 days until the midterms, Mike digs into a growing fight over who is really fighting for America—and whether frustration with Republicans is distracting voters from the bigger stakes. From alleged foreign meddling by the Iranian regime to the controversy surrounding Jack Smith’s investigation and the government’s access to Americans’ financial information, Mike questions how much power the government should have when politics turns into a weapon. He also takes aim at the battles within the Republican Party, arguing that too many elected officials are focused on political theater while Americans are waiting for action on the issues that actually affect their lives. And as the election approaches, Mike warns that dissatisfaction with the people on your own side can’t become an excuse to ignore what’s happening on the other side.

Mike and Mark recount the hijack attempt on the Dubai jetliner, assess global terror dangers of the moment, celebrate the America.gov website, and Mark reviews Brad Pitt’s “Heart of the Beast.”

Iran's IRGC sent an open letter to the American people, urging them to vote Democrat this fall.  They may the best endorsement yet... for Republicans.

With 35 days to go, Mike is asking whether Americans realize just how much is at stake in the upcoming midterms—and whether the people who usually stay out of politics will finally show up. Polls may be painting a bleak picture for Republicans, but Mike points to recent polling and past misses as evidence that the outcome is far from settled, while Newt Gingrich and Kellyanne Conway offer their own reasons not to buy into the doom and gloom. Mike also takes aim at Republicans he believes are focused on the wrong fights, arguing that the border, the economy and the direction of the country matter far more than political distractions. With the war in Iran adding another layer of uncertainty, Mike asks whether voters are looking past the headlines and recognizing what he sees as the bigger choice facing America.

Mike shares with Mark his current anxiety over his health.  Plus why does the left resent President Trump?  Perhaps because he's been so successful.

With the midterms just weeks away, Mike is pushing back against the sudden wave of polls and predictions declaring the Republican Party doomed. From the polling misses of 2024 to the growing frustration among conservatives who say they’re ready to sit this one out, Mike argues that giving up—or trying to punish Republicans by handing Democrats a victory—could have consequences far beyond this election. Newt Gingrich joins the conversation to explain why he sees the current doom-and-gloom as part of a familiar effort to demoralize Republican voters, while acknowledging that Republicans still have plenty of work to do to make their case.

All the polls suggest Republicans are in big trouble in the upcoming Mid-term elections. Mark and Mike say,  Don’t believe the polls!  How many times have the polls been wrong?  We have to ignore the noise, and the propaganda, and show up and vote.  If we show up we win!

How much privacy should Americans expect when they’re out in public—and how much should law enforcement be allowed to see? Mike gets into the increasingly controversial world of Flock cameras and the debate over whether powerful crime-fighting technology needs more restrictions, especially after some troubling examples of how it can be abused. He also looks at the political anxiety building ahead of the midterms, from predictions of a Republican collapse to the question of whether voters are actually as fed up as the headlines suggest. With gas prices climbing and plenty of reasons for Republicans to be frustrated, Mike makes the case that there may be more going on beneath the surface than the political class wants you to believe.

Pastor, author and host of the podcast, “Leading the Way,” Dr. Michael Youssef will join the podcast to talk about the Middle East, the war in Iran and his new book, “An Unholy Alliance”.

Mike digs into the competing pressures facing Republicans heading into the midterms, from the economic fallout of the Iran war to the question of whether candidates should embrace or distance themselves from President Trump. Stephen Moore joins Mike to make the case that China remains a serious strategic threat even as the U.S. engages with Beijing, while the race to dominate artificial intelligence could have enormous economic and national-security consequences. They also tackle the very tangible impact of Iran on Americans’ wallets, with gas prices emerging as a major political problem and Moore laying out several ways he believes the U.S. could bring costs down. Back in the political arena, Mike argues that Republicans who try to run away from Trump risk misunderstanding what has reshaped the modern GOP, before turning his attention to some startling comments from the pastor of Texas Senate candidate James Talarico’s home church.

Mike digs into Sonny Hostin's boast that she was a holdout juror that eventually acquitted a killer.  Why would anyone be proud of that?  Plus media bias reached a shocking low when AP reported on a shocking murder in Mississippi.

Mike takes aim at what he sees as a growing tolerance for political violence and hostility toward America on the left, using recent polling, media coverage and some startling examples to make his case. He also revisits the murder of a Mississippi woman and questions how the media framed the story, arguing that the rush to fit a racial narrative can obscure the actual facts of a case. Judge Judy’s blunt “love it or leave it” defense of America becomes a jumping-off point for a larger conversation about whether the country should apologize for its success or continue to embrace the capitalism, excellence and innovation that made it what it is. Mike then sits down with Pastor Michael Youssef to explore the intersection of progressive movements and Islamism, the war with Iran, and the forces Youssef believes are influencing America from behind the scenes. 

President Trump took the stage at the UN General Assembly to declare "America is back" and to issue a stark warning to Iran, but CNN viewers wouldn't know it—the network refused to air the speech as part of its ongoing boycott over the White House press ban.

Mike breaks down President Trump’s address to the United Nations, where Trump touted his administration’s record while delivering a blunt warning about Iran and its nuclear ambitions. But the speech is only part of the story, as Mike takes aim at CNN for showing up to cover Trump at the UN after vowing to boycott him—and then refusing to air his address to the General Assembly. That raises a bigger question for Mike: if a network can decide which presidential events its viewers deserve to see, why shouldn’t the White House decide which outlets get access? The conversation also takes an unexpected turn when Mike talks with a liberal listener about political division, the loss of respectful disagreement, and whether Americans can find common ground without pretending they agree on everything.  

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.
