Episode 45 – Vegas Tourism, No Kings Rallies, and Town Hall Gold
In this episode of The Cigar Politico, Clint’s back from Las Vegas with a first-hand look at whether the tourism boom post-Covid is cooling off. Meanwhile, Kyle recounts passing not one but two “No Kings” rallies—each drawing different crowds and vibes.
The guys dive into the NewsNation town hall featuring Stephen A. Smith and Senator John Fetterman—whose takes are pretty solid and spark serious discussion. From there, they break down the ongoing government shutdown, the Democrats’ weakening position, and new Pentagon press rules that have Kyle and Clint on opposite sides of the debate.
