Episode Description from the Publisher

With just one month to go to the midterms, Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the race for the U.S. Senate, including tonight’s candidate debates in Maine and Michigan. They also look forward to 2028, as Vice President JD Vance and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) share barbs and The Washington Post examines former Vice President Kamala Harris’ chances of winning the Democratic nomination. Next, they discuss President Trump’s remarks last night in Nebraska concerning Iran’s nuclear program and the possible targeting of Los Angeles and San Diego. And, Trump announced he will pay for television ads currently sponsored by the US government and approves death by firing squad for Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, whose 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas resulted in 13 deaths and 30 injuries. Then finally, they discuss revelations that the FBI tapped the phone of Susie Wiles and tracked the movements of Melania and Barron Trump in advance of the 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago.
