Mike reacts to new economic data showing inflation at its lowest level in years, alongside falling crime, rising wages, strong job growth, and a booming stock market—raising a critical question: if the country is thriving, why does voter frustration and perceived Democrat momentum still exist? He explores whether messaging failures, media narratives, lingering pocketbook pain, or lack of accountability on major scandals like Epstein are keeping voters skeptical. Callers weigh in on whether frustration, distrust, or strategic Democrat positioning is shaping election outcomes despite positive economic indicators. Mike breaks down the disconnect between measurable success and public perception—and what it could mean for future elections.
