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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?  We have to ignore the noise, and the propaganda, and show up and vote.  If we show up we win!

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.

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.
