Hugh Hallman, Attorney, Educator, and former Mayor of Tempe, joins Seth in studio with his son Louis for the full hour to talk about the forecast for the makeup of the United States Congress after the coming midterm elections and how quickly the popularity of socialism has risen in the United States. They explores the idea that the media's emphasis on sensationalism and opinion pieces has led to a distorted view of the country's politics and policies. Hugh and Louis discuss how this can be seen in the way the media is portraying the upcoming 2026 midterm elections, with some outlets predicting a "bloodbath" for the Republicans, while the data suggests a much closer contest. They also touch on the importance of voter registration and the role of swing voters in determining the outcome of elections. The conversation also touches on the topic of academia and its influence on shaping public opinion and promoting progressive ideologies.

Seth discusses the concept of "yellow journalism," which was first coined in the late 19th century, and how it's still prevalent today. He argues that the media's focus on creating a sense of urgency and drama can lead to a distorted view of reality, causing us to lose sight of the facts and instead become consumed by emotions. He also touches on the idea that the media's portrayal of the world can be detrimental to our mental health, contributing to feelings of loneliness and isolation. Seth discusses his difficulties at a gas station with Producer David Doll. We’re joined by Don Spini from Sun Valley Wealth. Seth compares the prices of gasoline from 2026 all the way back to 1979. Don’t let Democrats get away with telling you that the Trump Administration is giving the nation “record-high” gas prices. United Airlines has just suspended a pilot who publicly praised the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel by the terrorist group Hamas.

Arizona State Senator Carine Werner (R-LD4) joins the show in person to talk about the state of her ongoing campaign for re-election as she fights to keep her seat in Legislative District 4. Senator Werner is a dedicated public servant who's made a name for herself as a champion of education and a fierce advocate for her constituents. She's been a vocal supporter of school choice, tax cuts, and teacher pay raises, and has worked tirelessly to address the state's homelessness and substance abuse crisis. She and Seth sound the alarm about the importance of maintaining a balance of power and the consequences of a Democratic takeover of the state legislature. She also discusses the importance of maintaining a balance of power in the state legislature and the risks of a Democratic majority.
