Ed Martin opens with his take on Volodymyr Zelenskyy's sharp criticism of President Trump over the diesel deal and energy strikes, and what he believes it signals about Republican momentum heading into the midterms.   Congressman Andy Biggs joins to discuss the Arizona governor's race against Katie Hobbs, Trump's recent campaign stop in the state, and the strategy in the final weeks before Election Day.   Congressman Ryan Zinke joins Ed to discuss President Trump's Montana rally and its implications for the midterms. The conversation focuses on the military testing "Super Range" plans described in the president's announcement and what the project could mean for Montana and national defense.   Former Ukrainian presidential candidate and Zelenskyy critic Sergii Nosenko joins Ed to examine the obstacles to ending the Russia–Ukraine war. The segment explores public support for negotiations, President Trump's push for a peace deal, and the questions surrounding Zelenskyy's approach.   Marine veteran Adam Castillo joins Ed to share his account of being detained in Myanmar following a business dispute and spending months in captivity. The interview examines his family's efforts to bring him home, the Trump administration's involvement, and his eventual release.   Ed examines Michigan's Senate race, Haley Stevens' comments about Mike Rogers' outreach to Black voters, and what he believes they signal about the midterms. In One More Thing, Ed discusses James Talarico's campaign absence, which Talarico attributes to the flu, and contrasts the demands of campaigning with President Trump's pace.   Do you believe Zelenskyy's criticism of Trump will affect the midterms, or is the focus better placed on races like Arizona and Michigan?   #TheEarlyBird #EdMartin #RealAmericasVoice #Midterms2026 #Trump #Zelenskyy #Arizona #Montana #Ukraine #PardonMe #MikeRogers #Talarico
