21OCT26 | Midterm Turnout • Vance • ICE • Affleck • The View • Consent Host: Matt Speer (solo tonight) Watch: https://thedumshow.com/live Donate: https://thedumshow.com/donate Shop: https://thedumshow.com Find us: https://linktapgo.com/thedumshow Call in: (276) 200-2105 SHOW NOTES Jesse Watters challenges the certainty surrounding midterm predictions and argues that voter turnout could upset expectations. Matt and Olivia discuss the difference between winning a news cycle and getting supporters to the ballot box. JD Vance defends Vivek Ramaswamy amid criticism of a campaign ad targeting Amy Acton. We examine the response, the boundaries of campaign attacks, and whether the argument is addressing voters’ concerns or getting lost in the backlash. Glenn Youngkin criticizes Fairfax County’s handling of ICE detainers and calls for greater cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. We discuss his argument about public safety, accountability, and the responsibilities of local prosecutors. Ben Affleck explains why he stepped back from endorsing political candidates and describes feeling used in the process. We ask what celebrity endorsements actually tell voters and why fame should never replace scrutiny of a candidate’s record. Stephen A. Smith suggests inviting President Trump onto The View as Whoopi Goldberg raises her objections to him. Matt and Olivia discuss whether a direct interview would offer viewers more than another round of arguments about someone who is not in the room. An Irish consent campaign uses a family greeting to raise the question of whether children should be expected to hug relatives. We discuss the message of the actual ad and where respect for a child’s boundaries meets ordinary family affection. The Don’t Unfriend Me Show is a live conservative news and political commentary podcast hosted by Matt and Olivia Speer.
