Ep. 617 - Senators REFUSING to Leave for Recess...
Senate Republicans are in open revolt against their own majority leader today, as Mike Lee and a growing bloc refuse to let John Thune send the chamber home for August recess without a vote on the SAVE America Act. Meanwhile, the socialist takeover of the Democratic Party just turned cannibalistic — AOC is catching heat from her own movement for propping up Hakeem Jeffries, and Abdul El-Sayed spent the night before his primary win poolside with Hasan Piker, a man who just got caught defending Mao Zedong on camera.

Ep. 616 - Is Cuba About to Collapse? Saudis Mob...
Secretary Rubio just slapped fresh sanctions on Cuba's military supply chain, warning the regime is "in ruins" — is the communist government finally on its last legs? Meanwhile Saudi Arabia is bracing for renewed conflict as the reality sets in that the Gulf states can't stay on the sidelines of the Iran war forever. And in Washington, Anthony Fauci just got hit with a bipartisan-adjacent gut punch: the Senate Homeland Security Committee voted him in contempt of Congress, and Chairman Rand Paul is skipping the floor vote entirely to hand-deliver the referral straight to the DOJ today.

Abdul El-Sayed squeaked out a win in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary by roughly 15,000 votes out of 1.5 million cast — a one-point margin that Republicans are already calling the best possible outcome heading into November. But it wasn't a clean night for the socialist wave: Shri Thanedar and Cori Bush both went down, the latter in a landslide. Meanwhile, both parties are already measuring the drapes for a midterm win that's nowhere near decided.

The Democratic Party's civil war just went nuclear. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders broke publicly with Chuck Schumer today, throwing their weight behind socialist Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan's Senate primary — one of five primaries we're watching live tonight. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans are having their own meltdown, as Sen. John Curtis rolls out a bill with Democrat Mark Kelly that critics are calling straight-up amnesty, and Majority Leader John Thune keeps insulting his own conference over the stalled SAVE America Act.
