On this episode of the happy hour, Michael and Anna sit down with Jake Levine, the politician on our playlist this week! Why is he on the playlist this week? Well, it's because he's running to replace Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman, of California's 32nd Congressional district and it turns out Brad has been in that seat since...1997! (Which is when Michael and Anna were in 6th and 2nd grade, respectively). Jake is a 4th generation Angeleno who's coming in with some fresh new ideas and some lived experience, having lost his childhood home in the Palisades fire and having wasted no time in helping found The Department Of Angels, a non-profit providing critical resources to fire victims. Let's just say Jake is a go-getter, and we're so excited to talk with him because he's going places. And we're here for it!

On this episode of the Happy Hour, Michael, Anna and Anthony discuss How To Talk About The California Governor's Race, which is, to put it mildly, a bit of a shit show. There are actually 61 names--for real--that are going to be on the primary ballot come June 2, but only 10 of them are serious contenders. And that's still a lot for this Jungle Primary, which will see the top two finishers, regardless of party affiliation, advance to the final ballot in November. So place your bets folks, because this race is anyone's to take!

The Politician On Our Playlist this week is...Harry Jarin. This thirtysomething small business owner and volunteer fireman is running to fill Maryland's 5th Congressional district seat, long held by Congressional stalwart Steny Hoyer, who's retiring (finally!) at the age of 86. Harry is facing a very crowded field, but as you'll immediately tell from our interview, he is quite a formidable candidate, and has a lot of great things to say. Man, does our politics need folks like Harry right now!

On this episode of the Happy Hour, Michael and Anna break down How To Talk About Young Republicans, and the recent polling that suggests the young MAGA cohort that was critical to reelecting President Trump is now jumping shit on account of a growing unhappiness with the direction he's taking the country on four key issues: Healthcare, The Economy, Foreign Policy and Immigration. But the real questions is, what does this mean for the midterms and who will win the messaging war?
