As with any election, there is always the potential for election follies. These can include everything from uncounted ballots to voter fraud. In the past, there have been some election follies that have made headlines. Could the midterm elections of 2022 be different from those of the past?
In this episode, Jim and Dan talk about the midterm election folly and how it unfolded. Joining the show is Steve Hayes, Casa Grande Union High School District #82 Governing Board. Steve Hayes talks about how Arizona views the midterm elections. We will also hear from Patrick Mudge, CEO of Icey-Tek USA. As a Navy SEAL veteran, Patrick gives us his thoughts on the recent (Russian? Ukrainian?) missile that struck Poland.

Favorite Quotes
12:54 - "When you start with this red wave bullsh*t, all you do is energize that base. When you say, 'we're going to sweep, we're going to sweep, we're going to sweep it,' all that does is put our side to sleep and energize their side. We need to handle every election like we're 20 points down." - Jim Larkin
22:19 - "For whatever reason, the RINO, the Never Trump Republicans rather send the country in the state down into the toilet than vote for a candidate who happened to be endorsed by Trump. If you look at the state offices, the Republican candidates who did not get a Trump endorsement are winning their races." - Steve Hayes
30:31 - "If you start speaking out against somebody who happens to be black, you're a racist. As soon as you start speaking out on this and saying, Hey, this isn't making sense now. You're an election denier. You're one of those right-wing extremist election deniers." - Jim Larkin
1:07:39 - "We've got everyday patriots out there trying to educate people on the constitution and what the government can and can't do. You can't take the government on until you know what they're allowed to do. Never once on this show have we advocated for militias to take the government on with arms. Never once." - Jim Larkin
