Joey Hudson fills in for Mike as the midterms approach and President Trump ramps up his campaign push across the country. Joey digs into Trump’s proposed payments to seniors and other Americans, asking whether they’re needed relief or an election-year spending spree that adds to the nation’s massive debt. He also examines Trump’s escalating pressure on Iran over its nuclear ambitions and his very public battle with Senator Tom Cotton over daylight saving time—including giving out Cotton’s phone number.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the midterms just 32 days away, Mike sees a very different political landscape emerging as Trump hits the road, Democrats worry about the polls, and J.D. Vance warns about what’s at stake for the country. Trump’s wild late-night drive to Oklahoma becomes a perfect snapshot of the energy Mike says his critics still don’t understand, while the battle over socialism and the direction of America adds another layer to the election fight. Mike also takes a futuristic ride in a Waymo and gets a firsthand look at what driverless transportation could mean for the way we live—and for the people whose jobs depend on driving. And the show takes a fascinating turn with the decades-long effort to clear Admiral Husband Kimmel’s name over Pearl Harbor, raising questions about whether one of history’s most enduring military controversies was ever truly settled.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is the political narrative the Left has been selling starting to crack under the weight of reality? Mike looks at the shifting polls, economic numbers and growing questions about whether Democrats should be celebrating quite yet as the midterms draw closer. He also dives into the bizarre and deeply troubling case of Tennessee’s botched execution of Krista Pike, raising questions about what happens next and why two recent executions in the state have now failed. A conversation with Roger P. Shulman brings some surprising historical perspective to executions that didn’t go according to plan, while Mike turns to the bigger questions surrounding capital punishment and the system responsible for carrying it out. And with the election just weeks away, Mike examines whether the latest polling headlines are telling the whole story—or whether we’ve seen this movie before.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With 34 days until the midterms, Mike digs into a growing fight over who is really fighting for America—and whether frustration with Republicans is distracting voters from the bigger stakes. From alleged foreign meddling by the Iranian regime to the controversy surrounding Jack Smith’s investigation and the government’s access to Americans’ financial information, Mike questions how much power the government should have when politics turns into a weapon. He also takes aim at the battles within the Republican Party, arguing that too many elected officials are focused on political theater while Americans are waiting for action on the issues that actually affect their lives. And as the election approaches, Mike warns that dissatisfaction with the people on your own side can’t become an excuse to ignore what’s happening on the other side.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
