Mike Madrid and Chuck Rocha dive into the escalating government shutdown fight, asking who benefits, who gets blamed, and what it means for Democrats heading into the midterms. From debates over health care messaging to the political fallout for Trump, Schumer, and beyond, the hosts explore why Democrats may be “racing against time” and what’s at stake in Virginia, New Jersey, and the broader midterm elections. Our hosts also unpack Trump’s unprecedented gathering of military leaders along with the risks of his military deployment to Portland, while also drawing connections between country and ranchera music.
