Mike celebrates a major primary victory for Ashley Moody in Florida while taking aim at the Democratic Party's increasingly progressive wing. He also sounds off on the stark differences between red and blue states, arguing that Florida's approach to elections, public safety, and governance continues to attract Americans fleeing places like California, New York, and Illinois. In South Carolina, Mike breaks down a contentious Senate debate that left many Republicans questioning whether Darlene Graham Nordone is prepared for the job, while Congressman Ralph Norman's criticism of outside Democratic money adds even more fuel to the race. Plus, Mike reacts to Senator John Ossoff's controversial comments about a Trump aide, asking just how far political attacks are willing to go.

When did America lose its moral compass? Mike wrestles with that question as he examines a growing trend that's becoming impossible to ignore: the public celebration of people accused or convicted of horrific crimes. From viral fundraising campaigns to online communities that turn criminals into cultural icons, he explores what these stories reveal about the country's changing values. Has social media accelerated our moral decline, or has America simply drifted away from the principles that once held it together?
