Congressman Chris Deluzio joins host Molly Jong-Fast for a look at Pennsylvania, the battleground state heading into next week's midterms. He explains why Democrats feel confident behind Governor Shapiro, points to strong mail-ballot returns, and breaks down four competitive congressional races Democrats hope to flip. A former naval officer who serves on the Armed Services Committee, Deluzio lays out what a Democratic Congress could do even with Trump still in the White House: end the Iran war responsibly through war powers resolutions or appropriations, roll back Medicaid and healthcare cuts, reclaim tariff authority from the president, and pursue aggressive oversight of the war, including the treatment of military families in Bahrain. He also discusses the push to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his frustration with Senator John Fetterman, including whether he might run against him in 2028. In the headlines, the hosts cover RFK Jr.'s inflammatory remarks about Muslims, Rep. Randy Fine refusing to rule out deporting Elon Musk and Melania Trump, and Don Jr.'s hunting trip in Mongolia with Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev. Jesse Cannon closes the show on Boston Dynamics employees petitioning to stop the sale of the company's robot dogs to ICE.

Trump's Veto Trap: Dems' Bold New Plan w/ Chris Deluzio

The Latino Vote Podcast's Mike Madrid joins host Molly Jong-Fast to explain why Latino voters have become the nation's biggest swing bloc, capable of shifting 20 to 25 points, and why Democrats may only be "renting" their support this midterm. He argues that economics drove Latinos away from Democrats, but aggressive ICE enforcement, which has affected an estimated one in four Latinos, is now fueling an unprecedented turnout surge, especially among young, U.S.-born voters from mixed-status households. Pointing to triple-digit increases over 2022, he notes that more than half of Texas's 4.5 million early voters reportedly have no prior vote history, with similar spikes in Nevada, Florida, and Georgia. Madrid predicts South Texas candidate Bobby Pulido could beat Monica De La Cruz by double digits and explores the rise of a non-ideological, anti-establishment Latino populism that fits neither red nor blue silos and favors border security paired with a pathway to citizenship. He also weighs in on Ruben Gallego's appeal and expects Democrats to win the House and reach about 52 Senate seats, then closes by arguing that the party's future lies in Sun Belt states powered by Latino blue-collar workers, not in trying to win back Rust Belt voters.
