On this July 4, Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter check in on our southern neighbours, "them the people", before diving into federal election speculation. Which parties are well positioned for a summer election and which would be in trouble? Why are Californians so recall happy? And do Stephen and Corey even listen to the question? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions (and ignored scales) and keeps everybody in line.
