Fresh off the California gubernatorial primary, Chad, Cara, and Ethan break down why the "top-two will produce two Republicans" narrative was a manufactured fear - and why it collapsed the moment voters actually voted, with Steve Hilton and Xavier Becerra heading toward a traditional R-vs-D general. They dig into who was pushing that panic and why (fundraising, juicing turnout, and a quiet war on top-two itself), including the uncomfortable detail that a party chair reportedly asked a leading minority candidate to drop out.

Chad, Cara, and Shawn break down the brewing bipartisan campaign to repeal California's Top Two primary - exactly the move IVP has been predicting for months.

America’s housing crisis is not just about demand. It is also about labor. In Part 2 of 72 & Sunny, Congressman Scott Peters continues his conversation with Todd Schulte by focusing on the economic reality behind immigration policy — especially its connection to housing costs, workforce shortages, and long-term economic growth. The discussion breaks down how immigrant labor supports critical industries like construction, childcare, healthcare, agriculture, and technology. Peters and Schulte also examine why economists warn that mass deportation policies could actually increase inflation, raise home prices, and slow new housing development nationwide. Beyond the politics, this episode explores a bigger question: what kind of immigration system does America actually need to remain economically competitive and affordable? Part 2 is a direct conversation about labor, housing, economic growth, and why fixing immigration policy may be essential to solving some of the country’s biggest affordability challenges.
