Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day, and are joined by Dave Weigel<\/a>, national political correspondent for the Washington Post, to discuss the hotly approaching midterm elections in November.\u00a0First, Sam and Emma dive into the devastation in the wake of Hurricane Fiona\u2019s continued warpath, with Puerto Rico\u2019s power completely out and the Dominican Republic\u2019s water supply shot, also touching on a Bexar County PD\u2019s investigation into DeSantis\u2019 kidnapping stunt and the greater conspiracy around this ploy. Dave Weigel then joins Sam and Emma as they take on the not-so-bellwether election of NY-19, and the growth of suburban Democratic voters in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and explore a greater assessment of the Democratic voting block heading into the midterms. They also walk through the backlash to Lindsey Graham\u2019s abortion ban from both sides, with Democrats capitalizing on this departure from the \u201cStates\u2019 Rights\u201d argument and Republicans collapsing on Graham\u2019s betrayal, and touch on the similar elements around DeSantis\u2019 horrifying stunt using migrants, before Weigel parses through his pessimism around Democrats\u2019 chances in the House, why they likely won\u2019t end up with more than +1 in the Senate, and what makes certain races (ranging from North Carolina and Pennsylvania to Nevada, Colorado, and Wisconsin) so engaging heading into the Midterm season.<\/p>

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma cover the devastation of Hurricane Fiona, Ethan from Nevada comments on Weigel\u2019s coverage of the Nevada Democratic Party, Daniel from St. Louis talks Adam Kokesh, and the crew covers the supposed \u201cLeftists\u201d and their anti-IRS push. Jackson Hinkle talks MAGA-Communism\u2019s love for private property and \u201cbusiness for the people\u201d on OAN, Tom discusses ongoings in non-unionized Starbucks, and Fox and Friends confront Lindsey Graham. Raygun discusses DeSantis\u2019 stunt, plus, your calls and IMs!<\/p>
