Hour 2 focuses on California’s governor’s race as Republican Steve Hilton continues campaigning across the state, unveiling proposals to address homelessness and affordability while criticizing Democrat Xavier Becerra’s absence from the campaign trail. We examine Hilton’s plan for a large-scale temporary homeless treatment center and hear from supporters who argue California needs a new approach to the growing crisis. The show also explores broader questions about the future of Congress, including competing visions for national policy depending on which party controls Washington after the midterms. Finally, we discuss Michigan’s U.S. Senate race, where Republican Mike Rogers accuses the media of giving preferential treatment to his Democratic opponent, Abdul El-Sayed. Join us for a fast-paced hour covering California politics, homelessness, media scrutiny, and the battle for control of Congress.
