Mike Gallagher Podcast

The Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship ruling sparks a firestorm as conservatives argue the decision weakens the meaning of American citizenship and hands a major victory to supporters of open-border policies. Mike breaks down the fallout, reacts to President Trump’s response, and is joined by former Acting Deputy Homeland Security Secretary Ken Cuccinelli to discuss what the ruling means, why some establishment conservatives are defending it, and the legislative path forward. Plus, the conversation turns to election integrity, the Save America Act, and the growing political battle over America’s borders, identity, and future.

Mike and Mark examine the shrinking appetite for reading actual books in book form, recalling the reading assignments of their youth, and their experiences writing books themselves.

The Supreme Court delivers a major setback to the Trump administration, leaving birthright citizenship intact and igniting fierce debate over the future of American immigration policy. Mike reacts to the ruling, questions the role of the Court’s conservative justices, and argues that Congress—not the judiciary—must now address what he sees as a constitutional failure. Plus, listeners weigh in on the decision, the political consequences heading into the midterms, and what comes next in the fight over citizenship and election integrity.

The Supreme Court’s immigration rulings spark outrage on the left while exposing deep divisions within the Republican Party. Mike breaks down the battle over Temporary Protected Status, the backlash from establishment Republicans like Mike DeWine and John Kasich, and why he believes globalist thinking is undermining America’s immigration policies. Plus, Kurt Schlichter joins the show to discuss the future of the GOP, the fight over legal immigration, and why conservatives must stay united as the political landscape shifts heading into the midterms.

Mike and Mark give an update from the Charlie Kirk murder case, examine activist Scott Presler’s ejection from a South Dakota GOP event (and research whether John Thune can be toppled as majority leader). Then, in the “Boomers and their Procedures” corner, Mark describes his CT angiogram.

Mike and Mark chat about Turkey, the hair transplant capital of the world. Followed by a discussion of the Supreme Court Ruling that revokes Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian immigrants. What will the Dems do now?

The Supreme Court hands the Trump administration a major immigration victory, but Mike asks what happens when cities openly refuse to follow the law. Plus, the growing backlash against Republican leaders over the SAVE Act, the Scott Pressler controversy in South Dakota, and why Mike says the biggest threat to the America First agenda may be coming from inside the GOP.

Democrats are embracing a new generation of self-described socialists, and Mike explains why their victories in New York could reshape politics across the country. Plus, why he believes Republicans are wasting a golden opportunity, the fight over the SAVE Act, and what he calls the biggest political threat heading into the 2026 midterms.

Mike and Mark evaluate the results from primary elections across New York featuring victories by radical socialists; then, a discussion of details from the Nancy Guthrie ransom notes that suggest her death; also, Kelsey Grammer with an appreciation of the USA, leading to a Broadway stage door story from Mike, and Mark’s story of a star who says “no selfies."  

Mike reacts to the political shockwaves coming out of New York’s Democratic primaries, where several far-left candidates backed by Zohran Mamdani scored major victories. The conversation explores what these results could mean for the future of the Democratic Party, concerns about rising socialist activism, growing tensions surrounding Israel and antisemitism, and whether New York’s political shift could spread to other parts of the country. Mike also discusses the broader cultural and spiritual battles shaping America’s political landscape and takes listener calls on what these developments could mean heading into the midterm elections.

Not one—but three—candidates backed by New York's democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani just swept their Democratic primaries . A socialist takeover of the Democrat Party is happening right before our eyes, the likes of which we've never seen.

All three victors have vowed to "abolish ICE" and "tax the rich"—and they've all accused Israel of genocide . This isn't just about politics anymore—it's about a movement that's openly hostile to the Jewish state and its supporters.

Meanwhile, antisemitism in New York is surging. Just this week, Congressman Dan Goldman, a staunch pro-Israel Democrat, lost his primary and got retroactively banned from a Brooklyn coffee shop that called him a "genocide enabler" . The Department of Justice is now investigating the shop for discrimination—but is that enough ?

When a sitting congressman can't buy a cup of coffee without being publicly shamed for supporting Israel, and when socialists are sweeping primaries on an anti-Israel platform, you have to ask: Is this the new normal for the Democrat Party? 

Mike and Mark examine the absurd reflecting pool drama, look back at COVID deceit and what “accountability” means for Anthony Fauci, and share doubt that the Tesla that rammed a Texas house was in self-driving mode.

Wacky Democrats would rather cheer on algae than admit Trump is neutralizing Iran's nuclear capabilities. Seriously. Vandals were caught damaging the lining of the reflecting pool, and Whoopi Goldberg is out here claiming it's all Trump's fault. This is the level of delusion we're dealing with. Republicans have got to show up and vote—or the Dems will prop up even more radicals who care more about pond scum than national security.

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Mike welcomes Sen. Rick Scott and Joe Piscopo for conversations about patriotism, freedom, and the challenges facing the country. They discuss growing concerns over far-left politics, anti-police sentiment, and vandalism targeting national landmarks, while also examining the lasting effects of the COVID era on American culture and public trust. Plus, Sen. Scott weighs in on election integrity, the SAVE Act, and why he remains optimistic about the nation’s future despite deep political divisions.

Mike examines the growing backlash surrounding the Iran peace negotiations, including criticism from both supporters and opponents of President Trump’s approach. He discusses the role of Israel in the conflict, debates over whether America should pursue a broader military response, and reactions to polling showing strong public support for ending the war. The conversation also explores political anger at home, from disputes over foreign policy to vandalism at national landmarks, before turning to the state of the Republican Party ahead of the midterm elections and ongoing efforts to strengthen election integrity.

Mike and Mark share weekend movie stories (and discuss the changing industry; Is it your problem if hail damages a rental car?  And finally, the latest on varying reactions to Iran war progress
