Nation States Update: 2026 Midterms: Affordability, Muslim Brotherhood & Global Security

Steve Yates (0:00)

Welcome in for today's Nation States Update. Well, all eyes are on the big US midterm election coming this Tuesday, November 3rd. And with that, we ask the world's greatest audience to please continue to download, like, share, and subscribe with regard to the episodes we put out this past week on big conversations for the midterm audiences. First, on affordability. Are we having the right conversation? And the real answer is we can't afford to change course on some key policy areas. I flagged the border, energy, tech, and this hemisphere as ones that land right at Main Street America's dinner table. So, please continue that conversation and share it, and hopefully get people to engage those asking for your vote. The other is on the Muslim Brotherhood. It's the words you hear every once in a while. It's come up a lot in the context of the Michigan Senate race.

I wanted to give you some background so that you'd feel confident in engaging in conversations about that, and why it's important to have a conversation about an organization that came out of Egypt, but has relevance to what's happening in American society, politics and government in 2026

So hopefully those are two investments in meaningful conversations with your family, your friends, and especially those who seek your vote. And of course, we're going to look at what comes after the midterm election. Some big things in the world with movements on Russia and Ukraine, where do we go with Iran? Are we back to military operations and what kind? Or are we going to give another stop at a deal? And of course, there's also unfolding elections in Israel and where that coalition lands, some big stakes for the United States, but not just the United States and where that goes. And ongoing conversations in our hemisphere, what happens with the Brazil elections and continued operations in this hemisphere that make America more resilient with safer supply chains and better options for dealing with our other challenges? So with that, we welcome you to continue the conversations with Nation States with Yates. Please tune in for those episodes and keep an eye out for some articles that may be coming in our news feeds on the various social media accounts. As always, send feedback to feedbackatnationstatesyates.com.

And until next time, stay strong, America.
