On this episode of Cut the Mic, Mike Hoeflich and Mike Sperrazza dig into the latest political and cultural headlines. They kick off with the Third Way Organization’s decision to scrap divisive “woke” language like privilege, triggering, and safe space—raising questions about how the left’s rhetoric is collapsing under its own weight. From there, the Mikes shift to international politics, criticizing India’s continued purchase of Russian oil despite global calls to end the Ukraine conflict and praising Trump’s tougher stance on tariffs and sanctions.

The conversation then turns to domestic politics, with sharp takes on redistricting battles across the country and data showing Democratic voter registrations plummeting in key swing states. They wrap up with a look at law enforcement success in Washington, D.C., where an increased police presence has led to 12 straight days without a homicide—something they argue highlights the importance of strong leadership and accountability.

It’s a no-holds-barred discussion of woke politics, international diplomacy, and the fight for law and order—only on Cut the Mic.
