They also talk to Dr. Bob McClure, head of the James Madison Institute, about the great progress being made in red states like Florida and Texas.

We’re broadcasting from Tallahassee in the Free State of Florida, with a variety of political and social topics lined up for discussion today on the show.

Additionally, Matt and Brett will be looking some more at how the Midterms are shaping up decently for Republicans, and how the Senate Primaries are uniquely interesting this year. Pollster's sentiment is not encouraging for voter turnout prospects this election cycle, so it’ll be interesting to see how will Republicans rally the base.
