America is at a crossroads, and Mike says the choice on Election Day could determine whether the country is saved or torn apart. He takes aim at the Democratic Party’s most controversial figures, from the explosive allegations surrounding Ilhan Omar to Hillary Clinton’s push to expand the Supreme Court, arguing that the left is willing to rewrite the rules to hold onto power. Mike also sounds the alarm over opposition to voter ID laws, challenging Republicans to stop dragging their feet and demanding that elections be secure and accountable. With just days until the midterms, he delivers a simple message: ignore the polls, reject complacency, and show up to vote. The house still belongs to the American people—but Mike warns that if voters stay home, they may not recognize what’s left when they return.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Then, Mike and Mark dig into Governor Ron DeSantis's fight to eliminate property taxes in the Sunshine State.
