With the midterms just weeks away, Mike asks whether voters will choose common sense over what he sees as the radical extremes of today’s Democratic Party. From the fight over Christopher Columbus Day to controversial Senate candidates in Minnesota, Texas and Michigan, Mike argues that Democrats’ own words and actions could become a major liability at the ballot box. He also examines the mysterious absence of James Talarico from the campaign trail and the questions that continue to surround his explanation. Meanwhile, new polling shows growing support for Medicare for All, raising a critical question about whether affordability concerns could push voters toward the very policies Mike believes would make things worse.

Yesterday was Columbus Day, but not for Senate Majority Leader John Thune.  Thune chose instead to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day.  Where do M and M stand on this?  They will tell you.

Mike and Mark kick off the week examining the raid at Ilhan Omar's home, examining the mystery around James Talarico's absence from the campaign trail, wondering at the bounty of Amazon deliveries, and asking whether President Trump is distancing from the notion of a live-streamed execution.

Mike takes aim at a judge’s attempt to block Trump administration ads celebrating America, asking why a message of national pride has become such a political flashpoint. He also digs into the growing controversy surrounding Texas Democrat James Talarico’s mysterious campaign absence, the conflicting explanations for his illness and the questions that still haven’t been answered. Meanwhile, the debate over publicly livestreaming the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan is stirring outrage and exposing a deeper divide over justice, accountability and the death penalty. With the midterms closing in, Mike examines the stories the media is eager to frame—and the questions voters deserve to have answered.

Social media abounds with rumors, speculation, and hoaxes surrounding the Texas Democrat candidate for US Senate.  M and M leap into the fray.

Mike takes aim at what he sees as a disturbing pattern on the left: defending criminals, attacking law enforcement and turning a blind eye to the threats facing Americans. From the outrage over the planned public execution of the Fort Hood shooter to the latest clash between ICE and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Mike asks whose side Democrats are really on. He also breaks down a pivotal Michigan Senate debate that raises serious questions about a candidate’s views on Israel, Iran and America’s role in the world. Plus, Republican Senate candidate Michelle Tafoya joins Mike to discuss Minnesota’s growing crime and fraud scandals—and whether voters are finally ready for a change.

Texas Democrat Senate Candidate hasn't made a public appearance in 13 days, and none are scheduled. Mike and Mark wonder where he went.

Fresh back from Salem, Massachusetts, Mike has stories about witch trial tourism; Mike and Mark share about intriguing historical destinations, but things kick off with some Trump highlights of the week.

Mike is back from vacation with a warning about the Left’s latest attempts to reshape reality ahead of the midterms. From claims that Trump wants Iran to nuke American cities to the ongoing effort to rewrite the story of October 7 and Israel’s response, Mike takes aim at what he sees as a familiar strategy of repeating a distortion until it becomes accepted as fact. He also digs into the growing controversy surrounding New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s response to October 7, anti-Israel protests and the troubling developments surrounding an alleged ISIS-inspired attack in Minnesota. And with just 26 days until Election Day, Mike asks whether voters are finally seeing through the spin—or whether the Left’s distortion machine can still move the needle.

President Trump picked a fight with Republican Senator Tom Cotton.  What's the disagreement?  Whether or not to end Daylight Savings Time.  Mike and Mark take sides in this debate.

On the last solo day before Mike's return, Mark unpacks the absurd smear of President Trump through the misinterpretation of his comments asserting high gas prices are worth it if we can prevent the annihilation of American cities; then, with 27 days to the midterms, a call to action to beat back those Democrats who would attack us with a toxic mix of Islamism and Marxism; and to wrap up, a look back to October 7, 2023— what it meant then and what it means now.

Joey Hudson fills in for Mike as the third anniversary of October 7 brings a sobering reminder of how America got to this point in the fight against Iran and terrorism. Joey revisits the horrors of the Hamas attack on Israel and his own experience seeing the aftermath firsthand, while asking whether Americans have forgotten just how devastating that day was. He also takes on the media firestorm over President Trump’s warning about the potential threat Iran poses to American cities and whether his controversial comments were meant to make that threat impossible to ignore. With the midterms looming, Joey also talks with congressional candidate Jenny Costa Honeycutt about affordability, government spending, border security and the fight for a competitive South Carolina House seat.

In a solo episode, Mark describes what makes the Cornell rape allegations difficult to navigate, then examines the interface between faith and politics, and wraps up with the latest on violent school protests in France.

Joey Hudson fills in for Mike as the midterms approach and the Trump administration takes a very different approach to the political battles of the past. Joey takes a closer look at a CBS interview with Tom Homan that quickly turned into a reverse gotcha, along with the questions surrounding ICE detention and immigration enforcement. He also digs into voter fraud cases involving non-citizens, a fight over in-state tuition at the University of Delaware, and what happens when lawmakers are expected to regulate technology they barely understand. From Trump’s campaign push to a controversial Senate race and the return of the firing squad for a convicted Fort Hood terrorist, there’s plenty happening as Election Day gets closer.

In a solo edition, Mark has advice for Republicans navigating affordability and Iran with 29 days to go to the midterms; then he wonders what the big problem is with finishing the job on the Christa Pike execution, and for some final moments, mixed feelings about Louisiana Senator John Kennedy.

Joey Hudson fills in for Mike as the midterms approach and President Trump ramps up his campaign push across the country. Joey digs into Trump’s proposed payments to seniors and other Americans, asking whether they’re needed relief or an election-year spending spree that adds to the nation’s massive debt. He also examines Trump’s escalating pressure on Iran over its nuclear ambitions and his very public battle with Senator Tom Cotton over daylight saving time—including giving out Cotton’s phone number.

With the midterms just 32 days away, Mike sees a very different political landscape emerging as Trump hits the road, Democrats worry about the polls, and J.D. Vance warns about what’s at stake for the country. Trump’s wild late-night drive to Oklahoma becomes a perfect snapshot of the energy Mike says his critics still don’t understand, while the battle over socialism and the direction of America adds another layer to the election fight. Mike also takes a futuristic ride in a Waymo and gets a firsthand look at what driverless transportation could mean for the way we live—and for the people whose jobs depend on driving. And the show takes a fascinating turn with the decades-long effort to clear Admiral Husband Kimmel’s name over Pearl Harbor, raising questions about whether one of history’s most enduring military controversies was ever truly settled.

Mike and Mark interview Manning Kimmel of South Carolina, grandson of Admiral Husband Kimmel, wrongly blamed for the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.  Can this wrong be righted?
