ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Chris and Sean are back in the Cave with five weeks to go before the Arizona election. They start with the governor’s race and the arguments surrounding Katie Hobbs and Andy Biggs on taxes, vetoes, affordability, and the direction of the state.

Then the conversation jumps ahead to 2028. J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz, control of Congress, polling problems, and what Republicans should do if border enforcement finally opens the door to a serious immigration reform debate.

They also play Marco Rubio’s response to Iran at the United Nations before closing on a completely different note: U2 returning to Mount Temple Comprehensive School in Dublin exactly 50 years after the band first came together. Chris and Sean talk about the surprise performance, U2’s new music, and Dolly Parton’s final recording.
