Mike Gallagher podcast

Mike digs into the political fallout from a deadly Minneapolis shooting as Trump sends border czar Tom Homan to the city and signals deeper federal involvement. He breaks down the conflicting narratives, questions surrounding the use of force, and mounting frustration inside law enforcement over DHS messaging. With protests, fraud investigations, and ICE enforcement colliding, Mike asks the central question hanging over it all: how does Trump respond next—and what does it mean for his immigration agenda?

President Trump and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz are now working together to stop the insanity in Minneapolis. 

Mike and Mark discuss the latest in Minneapolis and ask what Trump will do to remedy the situation.  

Mike questions whether the media is hyping a massive winter storm or responsibly warning Americans about a real threat as snow and ice bear down on much of the country. He breaks down the difference between preparation and panic, calling out what he sees as “weather hysteria” while still stressing the real dangers of ice, power outages, and travel. Listeners weigh in as Mike digs into how modern forecasting, media incentives, and common sense collide when storms are labeled “historic.”

Joey Hudson, filling in for Mike, breaks down breaking news out of Minnesota as the Trump administration ramps up ICE enforcement and arrests key activists tied to recent anti-ICE chaos in Minneapolis. He zeroes in on mass arrests, criminal illegals being taken off the streets, and the media meltdown over Trump publicly highlighting mugshots of violent offenders. The show also calls out The View for claiming the arrests are “defamation,” arguing the backlash proves just how far the left will go to shield illegal criminals.

Joey Hudson, filling in for Mike, breaks down Trump’s headline-making remarks at the World Economic Forum as he openly toys with acquiring Greenland and shrugs off European outrage. He explains why the president sees Greenland as a national security necessity, not a land grab, and how history backs up the argument. The show also covers Trump’s late arrival after Air Force One issues and his blunt message to NATO allies who depend on U.S. protection but bristle at American leadership.

Joey Hudson, filling in for Mike, breaks down why former CNN host Don Lemon could now face criminal charges after helping coordinate and participate in the disruption of a Minneapolis church service. He walks through new video and admissions that contradict Lemon’s initial claims, and explains how the DOJ investigation is escalating as activists openly dare authorities to act. The show also digs into Lemon’s attempt to deflect criticism with claims of racism and white supremacy—and why that narrative is falling flat with the public.

Joey Hudson breaks down the moment anti-ICE protesters stormed a Minneapolis church mid-service, forcing worship to stop as chants echoed from the pews. The focus turns to Don Lemon’s role inside the church, lecturing pastors on the First Amendment while the congregation was driven out. Joey slams Minnesota leaders for fueling the chaos and asks where protest ends and outright disruption of religious freedom begins.

Mike zeroes in on Minneapolis as violence and chaos continue, blasting city and state leaders for refusing to condemn attacks on ICE and law enforcement. He argues the unrest isn’t spontaneous but the result of political cover for radical activists opposing deportations. The episode also dives into Trump’s sweeping healthcare proposal and the political risk of his push to acquire Greenland as midterms approach. At the center of it all, Mike warns Minneapolis has become a flashpoint showing what happens when Democrats choose ideology over order.

Mike and Mark break down if the United States really needs Greenland.

This is the Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review Podcast for Friday, January 16th, 2026.This week, the Minneapolis Mayor objects to ICE, conservative media stars feud online, and a state senator in Kentucky feels bad about being white. 

 That and more on the Week in Review.

Mike tears into Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for inflaming chaos in Minneapolis, blasting his call to confront and film ICE agents as violence erupts in the streets. He walks through the timeline linking Walz’s rhetoric to ambushes on federal officers, riots, and mounting criminal fallout. The episode also exposes media and Democrat hypocrisy on immigration enforcement, arguing that ICE is doing the same job it did under Obama—only now it’s labeled an “occupation.”

Mike and Mark react to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's press conference where he urges his Minnesotans to continue to disrupt ICE operations. 

Mike reflects on the life and legacy of Scott Adams, sharing Adams’ final words about what truly mattered to him at the end of his life. He addresses the controversy surrounding Adams’ last-minute declaration of faith, pushing back on critics and arguing that the decision is ultimately between Scott and God. The conversation explores grace, mortality, and why Adams’ farewell sparked such an intense cultural backlash—even in death.

Mike and Mark debate if Big Pharma Is Ripping Off America 

Mike zeroes in on anti-ICE protests and asks why they’re overwhelmingly driven by affluent white liberals while Black and Hispanic communities stay away. He breaks down a viral confrontation outside a federal courthouse, calling out media spin that downplays agitator behavior and rewrites what’s plainly visible on video. Mike also traces how Democrats once openly supported deporting criminal illegals before flipping into outright hostility toward ICE under Trump. The episode argues the outrage isn’t about enforcement tactics—it’s about refusing to accept the election outcome and the rule of law.

Mike and Mark debate if it is necessary for people to pick sides among the fractured sets of right wing media figures such as Megyn Kelly, Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson. 

Mike pushes back against left-wing claims surrounding the shooting of Renee Good, calling out what he says is blatant gaslighting and dishonest media narratives. He zeroes in on Ilhan Omar’s comments, arguing they ignore clear video evidence and undermine basic law enforcement reality. Mike contends the outrage isn’t really about the shooting, but about advancing the broader goal of stopping immigration enforcement altogether. He frames the moment as a test of whether the right will stay grounded in facts while continuing to defend law and order under constant political pressure.

Mike reacts to Jimmy Kimmel holding up a shirt on national TV reading “Donald J. Trump Is Going to Kill You,” calling it reckless rhetoric in the aftermath of a deadly anti-ICE confrontation. He argues the joke fuels anti-law-enforcement hostility and puts both federal officers and the president at risk. The episode breaks down how media figures and politicians escalate chaos while dismissing the real consequences of their words. Mike warns this moment shows how entertainment, activism, and violence are colliding in dangerous ways.
