Mike Gallagher Podcast

Was it just that President Trump endorsed Massie's opponent, or was there more to it?

Mike and Mark discuss the lessons from messages delivered by voters to candidates who have been less than supportive of Trump / Does a Trump endorsement in Texas make Ken Paxton unbeatable?

Mike breaks down the political earthquake in Kentucky as seven-term incumbent Thomas Massie goes down in flames to Trump-backed outsider Ed Gallerine, proving once again that MAGA isn’t slowing down. From establishment Republicans panicking behind the scenes to younger anti-Trump influencers getting steamrolled at the ballot box, Mike explains why Republican voters are demanding loyalty, results, and a full embrace of the America First agenda. Plus, the backlash over Massie’s Israel comments sparks a fiery conversation about antisemitism, criticism of Israel, and where the line actually is.

Mike says I told you so, and Mark eats crow!

Mike and Mark hear of a Trump endorsement in the TX Senate race, but before learning it was for Ken Paxton, they speculate on its impact, then pivot to Kentucky to evaluate Thomas Massie’s chances in his primary.
