🎙️ The Progrum kicks off with a raw analysis of Tuesday's election results, dissecting the sweeping win of socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani in New York. The fellas argue that the media and national Democrats are gravely misinterpreting the result, which was not a sign of broad enthusiasm but a narrow victory powered by radical, highly-educated urbanites. We discuss the historic trouble Republicans have faced in off-year elections when Trump isn't on the ballot, noting the persistent challenge of lower turnout among the new working-class base compared to the energized, high-propensity suburban Democratic voter. This discussion provides the vital context needed to understand the mechanics of a national election cycle and avoid making the same mistakes in the midterms.

🗳️ Then, the broader electoral lessons from Virginia and New Jersey, focusing on the unexpected energy of the Democratic turnout. The fellas point out that the recent government shutdown was a strategic, planned partisan fight that successfully mobilized the federal worker base, acting as the Left's new and highly effective get-out-the-vote operation, similar to past protests and riots. The takeaway is clear: the party needs a strategy that is both unique and authentic, not merely riding on a predecessor's momentum.

🐘 House Majority Whip, Rep. Tom Emmer, talks government shutdown chaos and why Democrats refused to pass the same spending resolution they supported 13 times under the current administration. Emmer says Chuck Schumer is a "scared old man" past his prime who burned five weeks for a failed "electoral advantage." We also give the co-hosts a Minnesota education on Tim Walz, with Emmer calling the Governor a "corrupt, fraudulent human being" overseeing $2 billion in fraud, including the $77 million SNAP scandal. Plus, we dig into the off-year election "bellwether" claims and analyze the mechanics of the 2024 House map, which shows a Republican advantage with only three members in districts won by the Democratic Vice President.

💰Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers on his lawsuit against foreign actors influencing state elections, a topic we've covered before, and one that's been gaining national attention, particularly with the Fox News exclusive on the "Mamdani Machine." Hilgers emphasizes that while the federal ban on foreign funding is clear, loopholes allow outside money to flood state ballot initiatives, which is what his team is fighting in Nebraska.
