Scott also covers the latest U.S. pressure on Iran, falling prescription drug prices, Democratic proposals to reform the Supreme Court, and the increasingly competitive Michigan Senate race between Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed. Republican congressional nominee David Flippo joins the program to discuss his campaign for Nevada’s 2nd District, while House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan weighs in on election integrity and the pivotal races shaping Ohio’s midterms. Later, Scott names the Democratic Party his “Pain of the Week” over Hasan Piker’s controversial rhetoric and ties to El-Sayed’s campaign, before Matt Whitlock joins for Friday Punditry and the show’s weekly Winners and Losers.
