Mike Gallagher podcast

Guest host Joey Hudson fills in for Mike and takes aim at what he calls political hypocrisy in Washington, focusing on the ongoing government shutdown and the battle over the Senate filibuster. He argues Democrats claim they want to reopen the government and fund agencies like TSA while repeatedly voting against measures that would actually end the shutdown, tying the dispute to demands over immigration enforcement and ICE. The conversation expands into broader debates about the filibuster, immigration policy, and public safety—raising questions about whether political maneuvering in Congress is putting Americans, including travelers and communities dealing with repeat offenders, at risk.

On this episode of That Kevin Show, Kevin McCullough dives into the importance of protecting the integrity of American elections. He discusses the Save America Act, which would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote, and how it's a crucial step in ensuring the legitimacy of the electoral process.

Kevin also talks to Bethany Mandel about the recent developments in Iran and the potential implications for the region.

Mike sounds the alarm over an escalating civil war among prominent conservative podcasters and media personalities, warning that the personal feuds between figures like Mark Levin, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Ben Shapiro could damage the broader conservative movement. He argues that the public infighting—often centered around disagreements over Israel and the Middle East—is distracting from issues voters actually care about and could demoralize the base ahead of the midterms. Mike questions whether the drama is simply social media noise or a deeper split within the Republican coalition, urging conservatives to refocus on defeating Democrats rather than tearing each other apart.

Mike reacts to a wave of terror attacks across the United States, highlighting four incidents in two weeks that authorities say were carried out by radicalized immigrants or naturalized citizens. He focuses on the killing of an ROTC instructor by a man previously convicted of supporting ISIS, questioning why the attacker was released early and not deported. Mike argues the attacks expose deep failures in immigration enforcement and national security while criticizing Democrats and prosecutors he says are ignoring the threat. At the same time, he praises the armed citizens and security personnel who stopped additional bloodshed, calling them proof that preparedness—and the Second Amendment—can save lives.

This is the Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review Podcast for Friday, March 13th, 2026. This week, the GOP hedges on the SAVE Act, James Carville flips out over Trump, Democrats politicize a funeral, plus a near-miss terrorist attack in New York City.

That and more coming up on the Week in Review.

Mike Gallagher reacts to a disturbing case out of Sarasota, Florida, where a woman was convicted after posting a TikTok urging people to shoot MAGA supporters, and he questions whether extreme anti-Trump rhetoric from prominent figures like Democratic strategist James Carville is fueling a dangerous culture of hatred. Mike also turns his attention to growing grassroots frustration with Republicans in Washington, including John Thune and Lisa Murkowski, over resistance to the proposed SAVE America Act, arguing that voters across the country are demanding stronger election integrity and warning that the backlash against weak GOP leadership is only getting louder.

Mike sounds the alarm over what he calls Republican sabotage of the SAVE America Act, arguing that establishment senators are blocking one of the most popular election integrity proposals in the country. As pressure builds from the MAGA base and allies like Laura Ingraham, he questions why GOP leaders including John Thune and other prominent Republicans appear unwilling to force the issue, warning that failing to pass the bill could cost Republicans the midterms. Mike suggests the real battle isn’t just with Democrats—but with establishment Republicans he believes are trying to weaken President Trump’s agenda and stall the MAGA movement from within the party.

Mike sounds the alarm over growing frustration inside the Republican Party as Senate leadership hesitates to move forward with the SAVE America Act, a bill supporters say would require voter ID and proof of citizenship in federal elections. He questions why establishment Republicans like John Thune and Mitch McConnell appear reluctant to back legislation that polls show overwhelming public support for, even as President Trump argues passing it would energize voters and secure the midterms. Mike also takes calls from listeners who believe the fight over election integrity has become a defining test of whether Republican leaders are willing to confront both Democrats and their own party establishment.

Mike reacts to the growing intensity of political rhetoric in America, highlighting outrage from critics of President Trump—particularly a viral rant from longtime Democrat strategist James Carville that he says reflects the deep emotional divide in the country. The conversation also touches on controversy over Trump wearing a baseball cap during a military ceremony, broader accusations of hypocrisy from political leaders and media figures, and a new poll showing Trump outperforming leading Democrats like Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom. Mike argues the reactions reveal how polarized the political climate has become as the 2026 election cycle approaches.

Mike reacts to the firing of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, questioning the real reasons behind her removal despite what he argues was strong performance on border security and deportations. He criticizes the media and political opponents for what he sees as rooting against U.S. success during the conflict with Iran, while also highlighting ongoing divisions within American politics and the press. The conversation also turns to the Texas Senate primary battle between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton, framing it as a test of Republican priorities and election integrity through the proposed SAVE AMERICA Act, as Mike invites listeners to weigh in on the political stakes.

This is the Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review Podcast for Friday, March 6th, 2026. This week, it is all about the war in Iran.  Where are we now, what happens next, and the Democrat reaction to the President’s bold move.

That and more coming up on the Week in Review.

Mike reflects on the aftermath of the U.S. strike against Iran’s regime, arguing the mission dealt a major blow to a brutal government while also sparking an intense debate at home. As some Americans celebrate the weakening of a long-standing adversary and others question whether the conflict serves U.S. interests or Israel’s, Mike explores the divide within conservative media and politics over what comes next. He also shares powerful reactions from Iranians grateful for the strike, honors the sacrifice of American service members, and asks listeners where they stand as the war—and the national conversation surrounding it—continues to unfold.

Mike reacts angrily to a Senate hearing where Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was sharply criticized by Republican senators, especially North Carolina’s Thom Tillis. He argues the attack shows how establishment Republicans are undermining the Trump administration and the America First agenda from within their own party. Mike says the biggest threat to Republican momentum heading into the midterms isn’t Democrats—it’s “RINO” Republicans who refuse to unify behind Trump’s policies.

As tensions escalate in the Middle East, Mike examines the growing debate inside the MAGA movement over President Trump’s military action against Iran. With missiles flying, American casualties mounting, and critics claiming the U.S. was pulled into the conflict by Israel, Mike asks a blunt question: does striking Iran fit the America First doctrine—or does it risk dividing the Republican base ahead of the midterms? He breaks down comments from Marco Rubio, Benjamin Netanyahu, and prominent conservative voices like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, while pushing back on media narratives that portray a major split among Trump supporters. Throughout the hour, Mike takes calls from listeners across the country to gauge where MAGA voters really stand, arguing that despite online drama, most conservatives still back the decision to confront Iran’s regime and support Trump’s leadership in a dangerous moment for the world.

Mike reacts to the aftermath of Operation Epic Fury, the strike that killed Iran’s supreme leader and dozens of top commanders, arguing the operation could reshape the Middle East. While Iranians celebrate in the streets and opposition figures thank President Trump for what they call a historic turning point, Mike says the mainstream media is bending over backward to avoid giving Trump credit—pointing to headlines that simply say the Ayatollah “is dead” without acknowledging how it happened. He examines what he calls the media’s Trump Derangement Syndrome, debates whether critics are opposing the mission out of principle or pure anti-Trump bias, and asks listeners whether the strike will ultimately strengthen or hurt the U.S. politically as the midterms approach.

In this episode, Lara sits down with Dan Schneider to discuss the growing movement to protect children from the dangers of social media and smart devices. They break down the mounting scientific evidence showing how phones, tablets, and addictive apps negatively impact brain development, attention spans, and mental health in children and teenagers.  Lara and Dan examine the legal and ethical questions facing Big Tech, including whether companies like Meta and YouTube intentionally engineered addictive algorithms to keep young users engaged for as long as possible

Lara is joined by syndicated radio host Chris Plante for a wide-ranging conversation about the GOP’s strategy heading into the midterms. They discuss why President Trump must clearly and consistently highlight his administration’s accomplishments from the first year and how messaging will be critical in motivating voters.  Lara and Chris examine the debate over voter ID laws, listing the many countries around the world that require identification to vote and questioning why Democrats continue to oppose similar measures in the United States. They also dive into the state of the American education system, arguing that progressive policies have undermined standards and accountability in schools across the country.

This is the Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review Podcast for Friday, February 27th, 2026. This week, a would-be assassin in Mar-A-Lago, a snowball assault in New York City, US Hockey Gold in Milan, and President Trump’s State of the Union Address in DC.

That and more coming up on the Week in Review.

Mike pushes back on the media’s “Democrat momentum” narrative, contrasting CBS polling showing strong approval for Trump’s State of the Union with what he calls rage-fueled chaos from figures like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. As new data shows surprising Democratic primary turnout in Texas, he questions whether Republican apathy is being driven by lingering affordability concerns or frustration over Epstein accountability. Amid the noise, Mike argues conservatives still have the advantage—if they stay focused, fix the messaging on cost-of-living, and actually show up to vote.

Mike celebrates what he calls President Trump’s finest hour—a commanding State of the Union that he believes ignited the 2026 midterm fight and exposed Democrats in real time. From the dramatic moment lawmakers were asked to stand for protecting American citizens over illegal immigrants—to emotional tributes for victims of crime—the speech forced a stark choice on national television. As some Democrats remained seated and others erupted in protest, Mike argues the contrast couldn’t have been clearer: a president rallying around American families and a party he says revealed exactly where its priorities lie.

Mike unloads on Democrats planning to boycott the State of the Union, calling it petty political theater that only strengthens Trump’s hand. As Olympic gold medal hockey champions prepare to celebrate at the White House, he contrasts their patriotism with what he describes as childish grandstanding from lawmakers like Adam Schiff. From locker-room celebrations to empty seats in Congress, Mike argues the optics couldn’t be clearer—America is cheering, and the sore losers are staying home.
