Summary
Sean opens the hour calling the midterms pivotal and highlights a joint Trafalgar/Insider Advantage poll showing President Trump near 50% approval, with pollsters Matt Towery and Robert Cahaly weighing in on why many surveys miss Trump voters and how strong growth estimates could shape outcomes. They examine how to better communicate economic gains beyond mainstream outlets. Sean also discusses newly released video from Minnesota as protests are expected and what it could mean for public perception. Marking one year since the Pacific Palisades fires, he speaks with California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton and Breitbart editor John Kahn, who lost his home, about insurance delays, permitting hurdles, and allegations of state mismanagement and fraud. The hour closes with a call for voter engagement and a look ahead to continuing coverage.
