Mike and Mark examine the possibly changing narrative over the supposedly disastrous midterms. Were Republicans are supposedly going to endure; then a close look at the strange botched execution in Tennessee; and we wrap with the wonder of Eight Sleep, which seems to have Mike written all over it. ----M and M Extra!

Tennessee botched the execution on Krista Pike, who still alive and kicking. Will the state get another "shot" at it? ----- M and M Experience: Two iconic talk radio hosts.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike shares with Mark his current anxiety over his health. Plus why does the left resent President Trump?

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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?

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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”. ---M and M Extra!

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. ---M and M Extra! If you love smart unscripted talk show chemistry, you’re in the right place.

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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
