Tennessee Special Election, GOP Wake-Up Call, and Redistricting Battles, with Special Guest Rep. Lehman Franklin

Broadcasting from the capital city of the Free State of Florida, we have a full lineup this week focused on the national stories shaping the political landscape as we head into the new year. On today’s show, we break down the special election in Tennessee’s 7th District and why the narrow margin has set off alarms for Republicans nationwide. We talk through the continued strain of pocketbook issues, the pressure facing congressional leaders in January, and what renewed fiscal leadership will mean for holding the House in 2026. We also take a close look at the Supreme Court’s major ruling on Texas redistricting and how similar map changes in states like Florida, Georgia, and Indiana could shift the balance of power. We also welcome Representative Lehman Franklin of Georgia, a rising voice in the GOP, for an in-depth conversation about the political climate in his state. He shares insight on the affordability challenges Georgia families are facing, the messaging breakdown that hurt Republicans in recent races, and the high-stakes Senate and governor contests coming in 2026. We close out the program with our winners and losers of the week, covering everything from Capitol Hill ethics news to the Lane Kiffin drama in the world of college football.
