The Graham Platner scandal takes center stage as Jenny Beth Martin examines what Democrat leaders knew about Maine's Senate nominee before the primary and why they only turned on him once they could handpick a replacement. Jenny Beth is joined by Jeanne Ives, former Illinois state representative, West Point graduate, and CEO of Breakthrough Ideas, and Robert McNeily, Director of Broadcasting and Grassroots Engagement at Tea Party Patriots Action. Ives shares breaking news on air: a prominent Illinois Democrat state representative has been indicted for fraud involving state grants, kickbacks, and family payoffs. Then she walks through her viral comparison of Florida and Illinois. Ron DeSantis and JB Pritzker have each signed eight budgets, and the results could not be more different: no income tax and retired debt in Florida, the nation's highest property taxes and more than 77 billion dollars in tax increases in Illinois. Plus, President Trump declares the ceasefire with Iran over after attacks on commercial tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, more than 1,200 former Justice Department employees line up against Todd Blanche's nomination, and the SAVE America Act sits on the shelf with 50 senators on record supporting it. Thom Tillis calls the bill dead. Jenny Beth calls dead a choice. Call 202-224-3121 and tell both of your senators to pass the SAVE America Act.
