Trump makes the predictable 2024 announcement to run for president-- which immediately backfired on him. Brian interviews Senator Gary Peters, who chairs the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee through a hugely successful midterm cycle where Democrats are actually poised to expand their Senate majority, about what worked compared to previous cycles and what the plan is for the more difficult Senate map of 2024. And former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner joins to discuss the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Trump, whether it means an indictment is more likely, and what it means if Trump holds true to his threats not to participate.

Republicans took a gamble on midterms and it backfired spectacularly. Brian interviews former Obama speechwriter and host of Pod Save America, Jon Favreau, about what Democrats did right during this midterm cycle, what Kevin McCarthy would do if Republicans do manage to take the House by 1 or 2 seats, and whether DeSantis is likely to hit back at Trump as their feud intensifies. And Adam Frisch, who’s locked in a fierce back-and-forth with Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s 3rd congressional district, joins to discuss how many ballots are still waiting to be counted, when the next batch of ballots is expected to drop, and how he was able to give Boebert a fight in a district that was rated safely Republican.

Here's what’s at stake in our midterm elections. Brian interviews Senator Bernie Sanders about how to get young people out to vote, his message to those disaffected voters out there to get them to turn out, and his response to Republicans protecting oil companies while they’re ripping Americans off with record profits. And longtime Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg joins to discuss Republican efforts to flood the zone with favorable polls and what the early vote totals are telling us so far.

Political violence surges as Republicans embrace it. Brian interviews Michigan state Senator and rising Democratic star Mallory McMorrow about her efforts to flip the Michigan state Senate to the Democrats and a ballot proposal that’s driving a ton of enthusiasm for the left. The Democratic congressman for one of the closest races in the country, Mike Levin, joins to discuss what the Inflation Reduction Act actually does for climate, his response to Shell raking in $9.5 billion in profits as the sponsor of legislation that would prevent oil companies from price gouging, and what’s next on the climate front if Democrats keep control of the House.

Republicans try to redirect the national conversation to crime and it backfires in pretty spectacular fashion. Brian interviews Democratic nominee for the US Senate in Iowa, Mike Franken, about a bombshell new poll showing him within striking distance of unseating Chuck Grassley, and whether Grassley’s age (he’d be 95 years old by the end of the term he’s running for right now) is a concern to him. The Democratic nominee for New York’s 10th congressional district and the lead counsel for Trump’s first impeachment trial, Daniel Goldman, also joins to discuss whether Trump will testify for the January 6 Committee, the consequences for failing to show up, and what it’ll mean for Republicans to have a Democratic prosecutor in Congress.

Republican candidates turn in disastrous performances at a spate of recent debates. Brian interviews Georgia's Democratic nominee for Governor, Stacey Abrams, about Brian Kemp’s efforts to position himself as a moderate, the impacts that the Republicans’ voter suppression law is having right now in Georgia, and what she’d do on day one as governor. And former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner joins to discuss the January 6 Committee’s subpoena for Trump, what his options are now, and what the punishments could be for ignoring it.

Herschel Walker is engulfed in a devastating abortion saga-- and it speaks volumes about Republicans more broadly. Brian interviews the Democratic nominee for the US Senate in Pennsylvania, John Fetterman, about the new revelation that Dr. Oz was responsible for experiments that killed puppies, his response to Republican attacks against him regarding crime, and what his tattoos really mean. And Senator Amy Klobuchar joins to discuss some major news—that the Electoral Count Act is on its way to being reformed, her response to Ted Cruz for being the only Republican in the committee to vote against it, and what still needs to happen to secure our elections.

Civil war erupts between Trump and Republicans

A civil war between Trump and Republicans spills out into the open. Brian interviews the Democratic nominee for the US Senate in Wisconsin, Mandela Barnes, about Ron Johnson’s record on abortion, Medicare, and Social Security; how Johnson’s used his office to enrich himself; and what it would mean if Barnes was the 52nd Democratic vote in the Senate. And the nominee for Florida’s 27th congressional district, the most flippable seat in Florida, Annette Taddeo, joins to talk about her response to DeSantis’ migrant stunt, how it sat with Latino voters, and the outlook of her race right now.

The Republican Party makes a last-ditch effort to turn our attention away from abortion before the midterms and fails miserably. Brian interviews former prosecutor Glenn Kirschner about the $250 million lawsuit against Trump from the NY Attorney General, his failed gamble with the special master, and even what punishments Ron DeSantis could face from his migrant stunt. And Jocelyn Benson, who’s running for re-election as Michigan’s Secretary of State, joins to talk about rightwing protests outside her home, running against a Trump-endorsed election denier, and how her race is looking so far.
