Indiana State Rep. JD Prescott is the author of one of the worst pieces of tax legislation the state has seen. And Hoosiers know a thing or two about bad tax policy. His opponent has much better ideas. John E. Bartlett joins us live. TUES 7pm ET | 6CT Links in the comments:

Ethan Sweetland-May knows Jesus. Read the Bible cover to cover. Served a stint as a street preacher. Studied Christian philosophy. So he knows what he's talking about when he says modern American Christians wouldn't know what to do with Christ's radical love. Time to reflect.

Members of Congress get free healthcare for life. Why don't their bosses, US, get the same care? It's not about cost — Medicare for All would save both lives and money — it's about control. Our current system is anathema to human flourishing, benefitting only shareholders.

MAGA is largely build on the rage of white men. Why is the most privileged group in the country so angry? Because capitalism sucked everyone else dry and then it came for them.

Indiana cops made national news last week, charged with using Flock cameras to stalk and harass people. And the potential for abuse only grows as the technology proliferates and improves. Nobody wants these things. Let's take 'em all offline.

Sure, Xi leads over a billion people and, as such, deserves respect. But, Trump sure seems to go above and beyond whenever an authoritarian visits - while democratically elected leaders get the shaft. Why? Because Trump is a wannabe dictator himself.

Indiana's public services are being hollowed at the same time we're leaving a TON of tax revenue on the table. Cannabis? Sure. But what about data centers? If we've got to have them (and I'm not sure we do), they could at least pay their share instead of catching a free ride.

Democrats used to dominate with working-class voters. Not anymore. What happened? HoosLeft host Scott Aaron Rogers and fellow working-class Hoosier, State House candidate Joseph Trost, diagnose the problem. TL;DR: They became just as pro-corporate as the Republicans.

Trump says "affordability" is a made-up word and touts the strength of the stock market as a sign the economy is doing well. How out-of-touch. Only about 10% of Americans own stock. Most of us are getting crushed by high prices. The stock market is not the economy.

A working class hero is something to be. Joseph Trost is a concrete worker by day, but after work he's been pounding the pavement in House District 52, listening to his neighbors, looking for their vote in November. He's our next guest. TUES 7pm ET | 6CT Links in the comments:

Patriots owner Robert Kraft rallied NFL stadium owners to demand Macklemore be removed from Ed Sheeran's tour over his pro-Palestine remarks. This looks awfully similar to the way Netanyahu convinced Trump to do his bidding in Iran. Who's in charge?

Pete Hegseth's Pentagon is lying about the costs — financial and human — of the Iran War. We're low on munitions. Our bases are destroyed. And the casualties are greater than they're telling us. Demand impeachment now!

Jessica Bailey brought a votemobile to Porter County - one of only two counties in the state to have one. This is the kind of outside-the-box, pro-democracy thinking Indiana could use in the office of the state comptroller. Early voting begins October 6.

Indiana Republicans have cut social spending, slashed business regulations, and privatized public services. These are hallmarks of libertarian economics. So why does Libertarian State House candidate Travis Gearhart disagree with their handling of the Hoosier economy?

Libertarians are famously critical of government, so when Scott welcomed Libertarian Indiana State House candidate Travis Gearhart to the pod he asked, "if you are skeptical of government, why are you trying to join the government?" See what he had to say in this clip.

Over 100 years of propaganda by the ruling class has left socialism with a branding problem. But if you ask people about individual elements of the DSA platform, they're overwhelmingly popular. What "made America great" in the post-war era? A fair amount of socialism.

Trump said last week that communities resisting data center development must like being "backwards and poor." Tell that to literally ANY town in Indiana where these things are proposed. Gov. Mike Braun might be "agnostic" about them, but Hoosiers say NOT IN MY BACK YARD!

Trump announced a plan for the US government and an international criminal partner to develop oil fields in Venezuela containing up to 65B barrels. The deal — or rather, steal — is unconstitutional and could prove a lucrative self-enrichment scheme for the Commander in Thief.
