Brian and John take stock of where the national midterms stand - and find themselves in unusual agreement. The House looks like it's flipping: Republicans hold a slim 222-213 majority, Democrats need a net five seats, and polling shows plus seven or eight gains on the way. John, a Trump supporter, concedes the tariffs are unpopular, the war has gone on too long, and even stalwart Trumpers are tired of talking about Trump. Brian says it's a totality of the circumstances: broken promises, Pete Hegseth, a $400 million jet from Qatar, and gas at seven dollars a gallon. The Senate is murkier, both brothers think Republicans squeak it out, with Brian calling Ken Paxton one of the worst candidates his party has put up in years, but still giving him better than 50-50 odds in Texas.

On California: all statewide constitutional offices stay blue, probably darker than blue. John calls one-party rule unhealthy. Brian says the only race of real interest is insurance commissioner — and it's Dem vs. Dem anyway. Steve Hilton, both agree, is not winning.
