Full Show 10/12/2026: Progressives have been straying away from the original messaging ahead of the midterms

This hour, Newell shares his thoughts on San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie recently stating in a CNN interview that the city "lost its way" because it became "entrapped in our progressive values," signaling a shift toward more moderate, results-oriented governance focused tightly on law enforcement and street-level safety. Then, Newell has on Senior Fellow Aaron David Miller from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, to discuss the escalating missile and drone attacks by Houthi forces hitting key Saudi infrastructure, including strikes targeting major regional airports, threatening to pull the region deeper into conflict, Pacific Legal Foundation Visiting Research Fellow Patrick McLaughlin to break down new research showing how trimming state regulatory restrictions by just 25 percent can spark thousands of new jobs and higher wages, Jeff Nowak, WWL Saints Sideline Reporter & Digital Content Producer, to review the New Orleans Saints' devastating loss to the Minnesota Vikings at home in the Dome, and Gulf Coast Bank & Trust Chairman and CEO Guy Williams to talk about the biggest economic and global shifts hitting close to home.
