Then, Glenn Beck explains why the deal is “America First”, why he believes JD Vance could be one of the most consequential political figures of the next generation, which Democrat he finds to be a compelling leader, and why Graham Platner appeals to some Maine voters as a new kind of “Trump.” Chapter: For free and unbiased Medicare help, dial (262) 454-0503 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter, or go to https://askchapter.org/mark *Paid Partnership*” Chapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

What You’re Not Being Told about Scott Pelley’s CBS Firing
Mark Halperin’s reported monologue examines the twin political outrages over the L.A. mayoral race and CBS News drama. He explains why the right is hurting its own cause by reflexively alleging voter fraud as the culprit for Spencer Pratt's loss.

Then, CNN's Michael Smerconish joins to discuss the state of modern journalism and why many Democrats continue to stand by Graham Platner despite his controversies. Plus, Rich Lowry reveals why Marco Rubio may be better positioned than JD Vance as the future leader of the Republican Party.
