As fears about artificial intelligence dominate the headlines, Craig W. Stanfill’s science-fiction thriller Carbon Zero is arriving at a remarkably timely moment. The longtime AI pioneer joins Mike to explore the frightening possibilities behind a rogue AI, from taking down the power grid to unleashing cyberattacks, while explaining why the technology is already too widespread to simply put back in the bottle. Stanfill draws on decades of experience in artificial intelligence to separate legitimate risks from the panic, arguing that the real challenge is figuring out how to use AI to defend against the threats AI itself creates. Their conversation gets into the increasingly human behavior of today’s AI, the dangers of giving powerful systems goals they may pursue in unexpected ways, and why cybersecurity may ultimately require AI to fight AI.

Mike tells Mark about his unsettling relationship with ChatGPT.  Plus, they assess the outlook for the GOP in November.

Mike pushes back on the growing sense of political doom surrounding the midterms, arguing that Republicans risk talking themselves into defeat before voters even head to the polls. With Congress taking another lengthy break after just seven workdays and establishment Republicans like George Will and Karl Rove openly breaking with Trump-era politics, Mike sees a broader fight over whether the Republican Party will remain focused on the voters who put it in power. He acknowledges the very real frustrations over gas prices, the economy and the war with Iran while making the case that those concerns shouldn't erase the administration's record on taxes, immigration and the border. The question Mike keeps coming back to is whether conservatives will show up despite the pessimism—or allow what he calls the “doomers” and “RINOs” to convince them that the fight is already lost.

He's running as the Democrat for Senate in Texas, but the beliefs that dominate James Talarico's church will blow your mind.

Mike sets the record straight on his position regarding mass migration, admitting he was wrong to separate the debate over illegal immigration from concerns about the broader impact of mass migration on American communities. He also examines the latest developments surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination, including the Kirk family’s plans to pursue legal action over alleged security failures that they say could have prevented his death. Mike then turns the spotlight to Israel’s Magen David Adom, speaking with the organization’s chief of staff about the emergency medical teams responding to terror attacks and other crises across Israel.

Mike offers Mark an apology for his initial position on legal immigration in America.

Mike and Mark rekindle a radio disagreement over whether we have too much legal immigration, then, after a quick story about a real estate scare, it's time to assess who is doing the fearmongering over AI, and then revisit the big winners from last night's Emmys.

Mike tackles some uncomfortable questions for conservatives, starting with the growing debate over legal immigration and whether the movement has shifted its focus beyond illegal immigration. He also takes aim at the question of age and fitness in political leadership, asking whether Mitch McConnell is capable of continuing to serve effectively in the Senate. Then Mike returns to the debate over artificial intelligence, weighing the risks of unchecked development against the potential economic consequences of slowing American innovation. Finally, Bethany Miller joins Mike to discuss why young Americans are increasingly consuming political information through social media and how that environment may be contributing to political violence, distorted narratives, and a culture of victimhood.

Mike and Mark clash over whether it is time for America to stop ALL immigration, not just the illegal kind.

Mike and Mark kick off the week reflecting on some of the weekend reflections on 9/11, and the people who take solemn occasions as opportunities to reveal the darkness of their souls. Then, a review of AI's cheerleaders versus its critics, with speculation as to what's driving the opposition.

Mike digs into the disturbing reaction to Charlie Kirk’s assassination, from people openly celebrating his death to the vandalism of memorials honoring his life and faith. He examines what it means when political disagreement gives way to outright celebration of murder—and whether there can still be common ground with people who embrace that kind of hatred. Then Mike turns to the growing panic over artificial intelligence, questioning the dire warnings that AI could wipe out humanity and whether some of the loudest voices sounding the alarm have an interest in creating more government oversight. As fear once again becomes a powerful political tool, Mike asks whether Americans should be terrified of AI—or recognize that this technology could ultimately do far more good than harm.

There is a new rash of panic over the rise of artificial intelligence, and this time it's coming from AI company who are developing it.

Mike and Mark recount their exchanges with radio listeners on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, while remembering their own very different experiences of the day itself, with Mike on the radio in the Empire State building, and Mark on a beach in Mexico.

Mike marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, by looking back at the morning that changed America forever—and revisiting the raw audio from his own broadcast inside the Empire State Building as the attacks unfolded. He remembers the confusion and fear of those first moments, the frantic efforts to keep the show on the air, and the people who were suddenly forced to confront the unimaginable. Mike also reconnects with longtime colleague Joey Hudson to reminisce about how they communicated in the days before smartphones and how 9/11 changed even the most ordinary parts of American life. And 25 years later, as TSA begins allowing some travelers to once again bring loved ones to the gate, Mike asks whether America is finally beginning to reclaim traditions that disappeared after that terrible day.

25 years later, Mark and Mike recall their experiences on the morning on September 11, 2001.

Mike honors the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk one year after his assassination, reflecting on the remarkable impact his friend and Salem Media colleague made in just 31 years. Pastor Frank Turek, a close friend and mentor to Charlie who was with him when he was killed, joins Mike to remember Charlie’s leadership, his faith, and the issues he cared most deeply about. They also confront the ugly conspiracy theories and accusations that have emerged since Charlie’s death and the toll they have taken on his family and those closest to him. Above all, Mike and Pastor Turek reflect on Charlie’s enduring influence and the thousands of people who say his life and message brought them closer to their faith.

One year after the horrifying assassination of Charlie Kirk, Mike and Mark remember that titan of conservatism and the founder of Turning Point USA.
