The Middle Ground Mic seeks the middle ground on issues that people care about. In this episode, Joe interviews Dan Schaefer, a past and current candidate for the Missouri House of Representatives, District 97. Running as a Democrat in a red district has challenges, but Dan is not afraid to present himself as a progressive candidate. While progressive on a social level, he remains surprisingly conservative on a fiscal level, and he even makes a conservative argument in support of a single-payer healthcare system, otherwise known as "Medicare for All." Tune in, where we discuss healthcare and many other important issues in today's society. Click on the image below and listen!

Raw, unfiltered conversations on everything from politics to parenting, war, UFOs, and more. No scripts, no filters—just real talk with real people. In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Dan joins Ricky Fulton and dives into the political divide in their home state of Missouri. From conservative strongholds to progressive policy wins, they hash out Trump vs Biden, the Roe v Wade reversal, transgender sports policies, identity politics, and why both parties seem more interested in culture war theatre than real solutions. Ricky explains why he voted for Trump, despite once identifying as a Democrat, and Dan challenges the narrative that progressives can't also be fiscally responsible. This episode cuts through the noise; no scripts, no filters, just two guys trying to make sense of a broken system. Click on the image below and listen!
