Dive into this week’s headlines with the Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review podcast. As we remember the vibrant legacy of Jesse Jackson, President Trump shares an unexpectedly gracious tribute despite political divides. Political landscapes shift as Ron DeSantis proposes an unprecedented tax reform that could transform Florida’s economic scene and stir national conversations. Alongside these narratives, the episode dissects insights from the contentious Munich Security Conference, spotlighting the reactions of various political figures.
Here’s something most investors miss. It’s not recklessness that costs people money. It’s being late. Big shifts start quietly in policy meetings and regulatory rooms long before they hit the headlines. Right now, the AI build-out is driving massive spending in energy, data, and infrastructure. There is a way to potentially benefit from that surge without betting on a single tech stock. To get the full breakdown, go to OxfordRetire.com. Again, that’s OxfordRetire.com.
SPEAKER 05 :
Welcome to the Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review podcast. It’s Friday, February 20th, 2026. I’m Eric Hansen. And this week, Marco Rubio evokes cheers at the Munich Security Conference while Democrats embarrass themselves. Plus, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis proposes a radical idea. Let’s begin as President Trump pays tribute to the late Jesse Jackson, who passed away this week. We’ve got…
SPEAKER 07 :
Esther in Connecticut is angry with me, thinking that I glorified Jesse Jackson, when, of course, I’ve done no such thing. I don’t think it’s appropriate to speak ill of the dead. I’ve never believed in that. Obviously, as a talk show host, I’ve criticized Jesse Jackson for years. And have a lot of bad feelings about some of the things he said. Particularly, certainly about the Jewish community. But here’s what President Trump said about Jesse Jackson. And it is. It’s an interesting thing when people say something negatively in death. You know? I rarely find fault or want to pile on with President Trump. But when he said some pretty… edgy things and mean things about Rob Reiner after he was killed, along with his wife. I don’t like that at all. I don’t like seeing people who are in grief. And I think about family members. Look at all the things that people are getting put through. Erica Kirk comes to mind. There’s just enough… There’s so much cruelty right now and so much ugliness. And so, you know, you would think that President Trump was critical of Jesse Jackson and might not say positive things about him. Check out what President Trump wrote this morning on Truth Social. He said the Reverend Jesse Jackson is dead at 84. I knew him well, long before becoming president. He was a good man with lots of personality, grit, and street smarts. He was very gregarious, someone who truly loved people. Despite the fact that I am falsely and consistently called a racist by the scoundrels and lunatics on the radical left, Democrats all, It was always my pleasure to help Jesse along the way. I provided office space for him and his Rainbow Coalition for years in the Trump building at 40 Wall Street. I responded to his request for help in getting criminal justice reform passed and signed when no other president would even try. I single-handedly pushed and passed long-term funding for historically black colleges and universities, which Jesse loved. but also which other presidents would not do. I responded to Jesse’s support for Opportunity Zones, the single most successful economic development package yet approved for black businessmen and women, and much more. Jesse was a force of nature, President Trump writes, like few others before him. He had much to do with the election without acknowledgement or credit of Barack Hussein Obama, a man who Jesse could not stand. He loved his family greatly, and to them I send my deepest sympathies and condolences. Jesse will be missed. President Donald J. Trump. Now, I just saw some reaction somewhere. I forget what publication. I think it was the Daily Mail, where Trump is crucified for that message to Jesse Jackson. You know what the message was? I mean, you know what their reaction was? his shocking, scathing attack on Barack Obama. All they took from that entire gracious message, and that’s as gracious as Trump gets, right? Their takeaway was it was a scathing, vicious attack on Barack Obama. Look, I don’t think it was a mystery that Jesse Jackson wasn’t very fond of Barack Obama. In fact, he was caught once on a hot mic saying disparaging things about him. But that was the takeaway. All the nice things he said, all the things he pointed out, I’ll bet you didn’t know that Trump evidently provided office space for Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition.
SPEAKER 05 :
California Governor Gavin Newsom and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez turned up at the Munich Security Conference this week. Neither made a good impression.
SPEAKER 07 :
We’ll have to agree to disagree, because respectfully, I think we’re in a great position. Nobody’s ever complained about having a deep bench. We’ve got a deep bench. And a lot of people are going to point out, as Pinellas Park, Florida just wrote, what about Ron DeSantis? He’s in the mix. Is he? I guess. I don’t know. I mean, anything could happen. But the fact is, when our roster… compares to their roster, Gavin Newsom is the guy who many have believed is going to be the Democrat frontrunner. This governor of California thought it would be appropriate to go over to Germany to this Munich Security Council over the weekend and compare American law enforcement to the Nazis. Now, when I first saw that headline, I thought, look, I know the guy is out there. No way he’s that stupid. No way he would torpedo his own political future by doing something that stupid. Ah, but he did.
SPEAKER 11 :
But I want to remember all those images of masked men, the secret police, something familiar in Germany. Those first images came out of my state, the second largest city in the United States of America. We saw 4,000 National Guard federalized. First time we’d never seen anything like this. And 700 active duty Marines sent not overseas, but to the second largest city in the United States of America, militarizing the streets of my city. Masked men, masked men showing up, unaccountable, no IDs.
SPEAKER 07 :
Are you a sheriff’s deputy? Are you a constable somewhere? Are you a police officer? Maybe a sergeant, lieutenant? Are you in the National Guard? Have you served your country in the Guard? How’s it feel to know that the guy that is reportedly going to be the Democrat nominee for president compared you and your community to Nazis? That’s today’s Democrat Party. They got nothing. He’s the best they got. Although AOC is supposed to be pretty impressive, too. Let’s check out the wisdom, the expertise, the knowledge, the communication skills of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over at the Munich Security Council meetings this weekend.
SPEAKER 03 :
Would and should the U.S. actually commit U.S. troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move?
SPEAKER 02 :
You know, I think that this is such a – you know, I think that this is a – this is, of course, a very longstanding – And I think what we are hoping for is that we want to make sure that we never get to that point. And we want to make sure that we are moving in all of our economic research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation and for that question to even arise.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, boy. Oh, boy. I’m not saying this to demean bartenders, okay? It’s an honorable profession. You make a living. Maybe you’re a bartender and you listen and watch the Mike Gallagher show. I honor your work ethic. I’m not a drinker, but there’s lots of great sports restaurants and bars and clubs and pubs all over the world. The only thing I can think of when I hear her and saw that clip is that she absolutely does sound like a bartender who got lifted up out of the bar, transported to Munich, and plopped down there. They dressed her up all nice and gave her a little sportsman microphone and told her to give an answer to that question. That’s a bartender talking. That’s not a serious member of the elected leadership in America. That’s a bartender. That’s Norm. That wasn’t the bartender, right? Who’s the guy in Cheers, Eric? That’s Sam Malone in a dress. That’s Sam Malone in a pantsuit.
SPEAKER 05 :
We turned out to the latest details on the Nancy Guthrie case where actually not that much has happened.
SPEAKER 07 :
A text message said, Mike, you’re giving Michael Savage a lot of credit, but don’t sell yourself short. I almost wrecked the car when you did the whole bit about the white tent being erected on the front porch. But it was true. It was like, there’s a white tent going up on Nancy Guthrie’s front. Breaking news. Breaking news. There’s a white tent. And they’ve done this with the glove, and they’ve done this with the bag, and it was found at Walmart. I mean, they ran out of things to say about this case about a week ago. There’s nothing left. And your heart goes out to Savannah Guthrie. She made this video the other day. She looks like hell. I mean, she just looks awful. She’s broken. There’s reports from New York that she’s never going to return to the Today Show. She has no inclination to come back. I mean, what a terrible thing to have to experience. Your 84-year-old mother is taken from her bed in the middle of the night. And it’s hard not to just feel some degree of sympathy. But on the other hand, bad things happen to people every minute of every hour of every day in America. And this story has gotten an enormous amount of attention, which captured the attention of one of the most unintentionally hilarious hosts in the history of talk radio. I think the guy’s a legend.
SPEAKER 06 :
Michael Savage. Every other day they come up with another story to screw us over with their big lies. Meanwhile, we have this thing going on with the old lady in Arizona. I’m sorry. You know, if this was a sitcom, it would have been pulled off the air already. How many episodes of this Guthrie saga have we seen that we don’t want to see anymore? You’d click past the saga, and yet they can’t stop talking about it. Night and day, day unto night, night unto day, like you give a ****. Do you actually care about that crime story? How many children have gone missing in the last few years that you never heard anything about? How many children were raped on Epstein Island that you never heard much about and don’t care much about? But one old lady goes missing from one liberal stooge on, I don’t even know what channel she’s on. I never saw Guthrie. I don’t know who the hell she is. I think she’s on a Good Morning America. I don’t know what show she’s on. So you look at the show, they don’t stop. You know, I don’t even turn the news on anymore. I can’t take it. Between that and ads for autoimmune diseases, I’m out. You know, I automatically go to Turner Classic Movies to watch 50s movies. That’s all. I can’t take it anymore. I’d rather go to a crime drama from the 50s than watch one more friggin’ second of this Guthrie s***. I don’t care about her! I know I’m supposed to say, I hope they find her. Well, they’re not going to find her. She’s dead. She’s gone. And that frigging sheriff, are you joking? Are you kidding? You’re telling me he’s not involved some way in this? How many movies do you have to watch until you put two and two together and come up with four? Why have they not polygraphed everyone in the family? That’s what you usually do, day one. Everyone in the family takes a polygraph, day one. Day one!
SPEAKER 07 :
Tell me you wouldn’t want to have dinner with him. Tell me you wouldn’t want to spend an hour. That’s my bucket list. I’ve never met him. I’ve never met him. I think he knows who I am, and I certainly have supported him over the years. He wrote me a note once, but I’ve never met him. Tell me you wouldn’t want to have dinner with that guy.
SPEAKER 05 :
President Trump renewed his calls to pass the SAVE Act in Congress this week. Sadly, too many Americans do not understand what is at stake. Hey, Victor, welcome. How are you?
SPEAKER 10 :
Hey, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. Let’s get a few things straight here, okay? No one can just walk into a voting booth and vote. Illegals are not allowed to vote.
SPEAKER 07 :
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Stop, stop. Time out, time out. Let’s just take this point by point. Let’s take this point by point, okay? You absolutely can just walk in. Did you register to vote? Victor, can I tell you, we’re not going to have a dialogue, are we?
SPEAKER 09 :
You’re just going to yell at me, right?
SPEAKER 07 :
All right, go ahead, go ahead. You’re talking to a guy who walked into a voting booth. You’re talking to a guy who in New York City in 2016 walked into the voting, the polls, and pulled out my wallet to show my ID, and the lady laughed at me and said, you don’t need to do that. Go over there and vote. So what are you talking about? You can’t just walk into a voting booth. Of course you can. What election was that? 2016, I told you. The presidential election? Yes! In 2016, I walked in to my polling precinct, my voting booth, over on 44th or 45th Street, and the woman wouldn’t take my ID.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, it was your polling booth, right?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes, it’s where I was assigned to go for where I lived. Yes. Did she look at your ID? She wouldn’t look at my ID. She laughed at me when I tried to show it to her.
SPEAKER 10 :
Did she know you?
SPEAKER 07 :
You’re a famous person. I’m not that famous. See, Victor, I mean, people like Victor don’t even know what they’re talking about. Believe me, that’s the way. And you’re in Naples, Florida. God bless you, Victor. Expand your horizons a little bit and look at what some of these blue cities are doing because that’s how it really works. Here’s a guy who calls a talk show. With all the confidence of AOC, right, walking into Munich thinking she’s all that and a bag of chips. Mike, Mike, Mike. Nobody can just walk into a polling place and just vote. Now, Victor’s in his bubble in Naples, Florida, didn’t have a clue of the buzzsaw he was walking into. Because he’s obviously missed the hundred times I’ve told the story about how they refused to let me even provide my ID in New York City in the 2016 election. And I’m getting buried right now with text messages from people in blue cities and blue states that say the same thing. And people like Victor just don’t know. I think it was five years ago this week we lost the late, great Rush Limbaugh. Rush used to call people low-information voters, right? Wasn’t that his phrase? Wasn’t that his expression? Victor’s a low-information voter. People like Victor don’t have a clue how it works outside of the bubble that they may be in, in Naples, Florida, a relatively conservative city. Man, oh man.

SPEAKER 05 :
This is the Mike Gallagher Show Week in Review podcast. I’m Eric Henson. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis may be nearing the end of his time in office, but that hasn’t stopped him from promoting a radical idea. He wants to abolish property tax in his state.
SPEAKER 07 :
He will become my new personal hero if he manages to eliminate property taxes in the state of Florida, which I love. I love this conversation. I absolutely am wild for states to eliminate property taxes. This is so amazing to me. that it took Ron DeSantis, and it’s not just Florida either, it took Ron DeSantis to introduce the reality that paying property taxes is absurd. You buy a house. You might spend your whole life buying a house, saving, scrimping. You wind up paying the house off. But now you’ve got to pay a property tax on that house for the rest of your life. Like Governor DeSantis has pointed out, it’s like paying rent. So you have to buy a house, and you’re punished for being a homeowner by having to pay rent for the rest of your life. It’s the stupidest tax we have. It is the single dumbest tax we have to pay. Property tax. I want to get this straight. You work your whole life working towards owning a home. Maybe the house, let’s say the house is worth $100,000, and you save, and you budget, you cut back, you’re careful, you’re disciplined. Finally, hallelujah, you get that house. And maybe you buy the house when you’re young. You and your family, you’re starting out young in life. You embark upon a path of the American dream. And one day, you pay that house off. Now look, that’s freedom. There is nothing like a mortgage-free existence, right? No more mortgage. No more monthly payment. You paid it off. Well, Uncle Sam now has its hands around your throat for the rest of your life? As long as you own that house, you still have to pay the state property taxes? DeSantis has been brilliant on this subject. Why should you have to pay rent to on a piece of property, on your home, on something that you own, forever, as long as you own the house, you’ve got to pay the property taxes. It’s obscene. It really is. And I am so grateful that Governor DeSantis has introduced the theory of abolishing property taxes forever. Florida residents whose primary residence is in Florida once and for all.
SPEAKER 05 :
The Muslim call to prayer is heard across the Middle East every day. Now it’s becoming commonplace in New York City.
SPEAKER 07 :
Five in the morning, picture this. You are going to get up to go to work at 7 a.m., 6.30, let’s say. You live in New York City. Five in the morning, this occurs. So you get the idea. Now, I’m a firm believer in not disrespecting other people’s faith. I’m a believer in not disrespecting how you believe. If you’re an atheist, if you’re a Buddhist, if you’re a Jew, if you’re a Christian, whatever you may be, whatever you are, this is America. You have a right to worship. And I respect that, and I believe in that. But ultimately, this ought to be a wake-up call. I saw a great assessment of this new, under Zoran Mamdani, the Muslim mayor of New York, and this new renewed vigor of the Muslim call to prayer being blasted on speakers as early as 5 in the morning. And incidentally, I don’t think this is anything new to people in Michigan. If you’re like in the, I think it’s Dearborn in particular, but I’d really love to hear from you from the Michigan area. Because I don’t think this is new for you. I think you’re used to this. And I saw, I don’t know anything about this particular ex-account. Cap’n Kirk Bible breakdowns. That’s kind of odd. But the analysis of this development is fascinating. I want to read this to you. This person writes on X, Manhattan is one of the most diverse places in the world. Christians, Muslims, Jews, atheists, and people of many other beliefs all live side by side. Recently, mosques in New York City have been permitted to broadcast the adhan, the Islamic call to prayer, connected to the Quran, over loudspeakers in Manhattan. He writes, let’s be clear about something important. First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the free exercise of religion. Muslims absolutely have the right to pray. That right should be defended just like the rights of Christians, Jews, and everyone else. But the First Amendment also protects people from government favoritism. toward any one religion. Public religious broadcasts that carry into neighborhoods must follow neutral noise laws that apply equally to everyone. This is not about stopping prayer. It’s about whether amplified religious sound that carries into homes and businesses respects the people who do not choose to participate. Even the Quran encourages moderation in volume. Apparently, in one passage, it says not to be too loud or too quiet, but to seek a middle way. In another passage, it advises lowering the voice. There certainly is no verse requiring amplification over public sound systems. The Bible teaches something similar, too. Romans says to live peaceably with all people, as much as it depends on you. Loving your neighbor includes being mindful of how your actions affect them. In a crowded place like Manhattan, sound travels. Not everyone shares the same beliefs. True religious freedom means we protect the right to worship without forcing others to hear it inside their own homes. This is a respectful request, he writes, to Muslim leaders and mosque administrations in Manhattan. Please consider limiting or discontinuing amplified outdoor broadcasts where they affect surrounding residents. Private worship is protected. Public peace matters, too. We can live together with mutual respect. Now, another prolific social media campaign influencer Amy Meck writes, this is submission, pure and simple. The Muslims are conquering with sound policy and silence from those who should defend our values. New York is falling, she says, one amplified Aloua Akbar at a time.
SPEAKER 05 :
Stephen Colbert whined this week after CBS lawyers pulled an interview with a Texas politician. Now, you don’t hear this every day, but he might actually have a point.
SPEAKER 07 :
The accusation is that Trump, that Brendan Carr, who’s the new chairman of the FCC, not new, but the chairman of the FCC, a Trump appointee. The claim is he’s Trump friendly. And he’s going to punish, he’s going to threaten shows like Stephen Colbert’s. But as Caitlin Collins said last night on Colbert’s show, they probably wouldn’t dream of applying the same FCC standard to a talk radio show like mine.
SPEAKER 12 :
Back in November, the president suggested that FCC Chair Brennan Carr look into ABC’s broadcasting license after Mary Bruce asked questions that he didn’t like. Yeah. And as a journalist, what do you make of Trump’s apparent weaponizing of the FCC?
SPEAKER 04 :
I think it’s something that the president, we didn’t see him do as much in his first term. It’s a way that he’s wielding his power so differently in the second term.
SPEAKER 12 :
I think the chains are off.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, ever since Brendan Carr was in this position, I don’t think anything that he’s done is really that surprising if you’ve been covering Trump and paying attention. And so I think, you know, the question is how far he goes on his threats. Does he follow through? Does he even need to follow through? Or does just making the threat in and of itself already cause the threat in the network?
SPEAKER 12 :
And they might just do it for you without actually, you know. making a ruling of any kind.
SPEAKER 04 :
And I think it’s actually a really slippery slope because I think that you’ve seen some people on the right cheering this and saying, well, that’s what we want Brendan Carr to do. I think that they don’t want a Democratic administration saying that right wing talk radio must give equal time to Democrats or to see that moment. And so For me personally, on our show, I have Democrats and Republicans on. I want to know what everyone’s saying. I want my viewers to know what the debate is that’s in Washington. I don’t think anyone wants the federal government telling people who they should book on their show and who the guests should be on their show.
SPEAKER 07 :
Now, let me shock you on two levels. Number one, I was wrong. I was assuming that the expectation was that Colbert was going to have on his Republican opponent. And of course, that’s about three or four or five right now. It wasn’t even about that. It was about CBS’s lawyers saying he had to have on the Democrat opponents in the primary process, i.e. Jasmine Crockett. It wasn’t about the Republicans. It was about having on other Democrats. So I’m sorry that I didn’t have that right yesterday. And that’s what I want to set the record straight. But here’s the biggie. I think Caitlin Collins is right. And it’s hard for me to agree with her. Obviously, she’s biased. She’s part of the woke mainstream media. But she’s right. For conservatives to sit around and cheer about the FCC putting pressure on shows like Colbert or Jimmy Kimmel or any network… We all have the same set of FCC guidelines and regulations. And Caitlin Collins is absolutely correct. The reason Democrats want to bring back the fairness doctrine is it would destroy talk radio. Let me ask you something. Would you like my show if every thought or idea or position I had had to then be countered by a liberal? Say Jessica Tarloff. In other words, would you be comfortable, would you accept my company that I work for saying we’re going to have equal access, we’re going to give equal time for every idea, every thought, every guest, we’re going to have for every conservative viewpoint, It’s going to be met with equal time by a liberal viewpoint. Now, I know the answer to that. Of course you wouldn’t. You could say you would. You might say, oh, that might be kind of interesting. I love how Jesse beats up on Jessica Tarloff, yada, yada, yada. Look, well, that’s not equal time. There’s four of them on the five and one of her. Okay? She’s not equally represented because there’s no expectation that they have to. The fairness doctrine would insist, would mandate, that for every conservative view on a talk show like mine, there would have to be a liberal point of view, and that would destroy our entire medium. Talk radio would evaporate. It would go out of business. Because you wouldn’t listen. You wouldn’t watch. We are the alternative. to the mainstream media. We are the alternative to the left-leaning media bias. That’s why shows like mine are so successful. Let me take it a step further, and let me end it with this before I turn it over to you. Caitlin Collins is absolutely correct. If we don’t want the FCC telling a talk show like mine what kind of guests we can put on, They ought to leave Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel and Fallon and all the rest of them alone.
SPEAKER 05 :
Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave a speech at the Munich Security Conference this week. It had the world buzzing.
SPEAKER 01 :
The alliance that we want is one that is not paralyzed into an action by fear. Fear of climate change, fear of war, fear of technology. Instead, we want an alliance that boldly races into the future. And the only fear we have… is the fear of the shame of not leaving our nations prouder, stronger, and wealthier for our children. An alliance ready to defend our people, to safeguard our interests, and to preserve the freedom of action that allows us to shape our own destiny. Not one that exists to operate a global welfare state and atone for the purported sins of past generations. An alliance that does not allow its power to be outsourced, constrained, or subordinated to systems beyond its control. One that does not depend on others for the critical necessities of its national life. And one that does not maintain the polite pretense that our way of life is just one among many and that asks for permission before it acts. And above all, an alliance based on the recognition that we, the West, have inherited together what we have inherited together is something that is unique and distinctive and irreplaceable. Because this, after all, is the very foundation of the transatlantic bond. Acting together in this way, we will not just help recover a sane foreign policy. It will restore to us a clear sense of ourselves. It will restore a place in the world. And in so doing, it will rebuke and deter the forces of civilizational erasure that today menace both America and Europe alike. So in a time of headlines heralding the end of the transatlantic era, let it be known and clear to all that this is neither our goal nor our wish. Because for us Americans, our home may be in the Western Hemisphere, but we will always be a child of Europe. Our expansion into the interior followed the footsteps of French fur traders and explorers whose names, by the way, still adorn the street signs and town names all across the Mississippi Valley. Our horses, our ranches, our rodeos, the entire romance of the cowboy archetype that became synonymous with the American West, these were born in Spain. And our largest and most iconic city was named New Amsterdam, before it was named New York. And you know that in the year that my country was founded, Lorenzo and Catalina Giraldi lived in Casal Monferrato in the kingdom of Piedmont, Sardinia. And Jose and Manuela Reyna lived in Sevilla, Spain. I don’t know what, if anything, they knew about the 13 colonies which had gained their independence from the British Empire. But here’s what I’m certain of. They could have never imagined that 250 years later, one of their direct descendants would be back here today on this continent as the chief diplomat of that infant nation.

Here’s something most people don’t know. When Warren Buffett was just 13 years old, he didn’t put his money into a savings account. While other kids were earning next to nothing at local banks, Buffett put $114 into a little known investment. Today, that $114 would be worth over $15 million. And it wasn’t a risky trade. It wasn’t even insider knowledge. We’ll be right back. Buffett understood early. Banks are great businesses, just not for savers.
