And Another Thing with Shaana and Hawk: AI Doom, Stolen Midterms, and the 2028 Field

From there the conversation turns to the 2026 midterm elections. Hawk lays out his fear about the stretch between election night and the January swearing in, the prospect of ballots being seized before they are counted, and a militarized presence at the polls, while Shaana argues for voting in person and reads the whole cycle as a referendum on cost of living and corporate greed, drawing on what she hears from neighbors in agricultural California about diesel prices and the squeeze on farmers.They also game out the 2028 Republican field, weighing JD Vance's likability problem, Marco Rubio, and Hawk's theory that Tucker Carlson's populist, anti establishment turn could pull younger voters. In between, it is two friends talking Camino walks, cats, olive harvests, and the ordinary stuff that keeps you sane.
