So that's where we're at.

It's going to be grand platinum versus Susan Collins.

We'll obviously be covering that race a lot and just a total,

I will say there's some other green shoots, including our guest today, including the recruitment of Mary Paltola in Alaska, some other ones.

So it's not, you know, things are nuanced.

Humans are fallible.

They make smart decisions and mad decisions.

They're running a great race in Georgia, have had some good recruitments in other places, but the main situation was

Basically, a 101 in everything that you can do wrong as an establishment trying to deal with a populist uprising in your midst.

All right, so that's that.

There's a bunch of other stuff out there that we'll get into later on in the week.

The gas price, we could have hit an inflection point, I think, on the economic strife.

The gas prices increasing that we're seeing this week, particularly in the upper Midwest, is pretty alarming.

And there's a lot worse to come on that front.

That's going to have major ripple effects in our politics.

I think that we're very, very early in the economic crisis and things are going to get worse before they get better.

And that's going to have a lot of impact on the midterms.

And hopefully that'll help people like.
