Culture, Faith and Politics with Pat Kahnke

Pat Kahnke is on vacation, but CFP Live producer Ken Napzok is here with an essay reflecting on the 2026 midterm elections in the United States. The 2026 midterm elections saw an historic Blue Wave! The elections brought a giant switch in political party power, with Democrats winning often and winning big. This election was a near-total repudiation of Donald Trump and his MAGA movement, but it was more about one thing: Truth. And truth is what won big on Tuesday, Nov. 3rd, 2026.

The important 2026 United States midterm elections are here, and the direction of the country heading toward 2028 is at stake. Will Donald Trump and his fading MAGA movement lose control of the Senate and House? Will the tide finally turn in Texas as James Talarico battles Ken Paxton? Have Jon Ossoff and Abdul El-Sayed inspired voters outside their normal supporters? Will Angie Nixon pull off a stunning upset in Republican heavy Florida? Ken Napzok and special guests Amy Hawk and Adam Swenson discuss all this and more on Culture, Faith, and Politics live!

On the eve of the important -- and potentially historic -- 2026 midterm elections in the United States, Pat Kahnke reaffirms the goals of this channel in the face of two more years of Donald Trump and his MAGA minions being in the White House.

Adrienne Larkin of Talking Politics with Mom returns to Culture, Faith, and Politics to talk with Pat Kahnke about recent comments Senator Bernie Moreno made about the Democratic Senatorial Candidate from Michigan, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. The Christian Nationalist-fueled comments were reprehensible and exposed MAGA Christianity's real agenda -- the continual quest for power.

Historian Timothy Snyder says Donald Trump doesn't really believe in the United States as a country. The author of On Tyranny explains how ICE became a paramilitary force, why fascism serves as a distraction for oligarchy, and why Trump's grievance isn't justice.
