Special Election in Tennessee
Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and Carl Cannon discuss today’s special election in Tennessee’s reliably red seventh congressional district, where Democratic candidate Aftyn Behn is locked in a surprisingly close race with Republican Matt Van Epps for the seat vacated last summer by Representative Mark Green. Then, they discuss today’s cabinet meeting at the White House, and what is next in Venezuela and the Ukraine War. Also, new reporting on Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, USN Admiral Frank Mitch Bradley and the September 2nd attack on an alleged drug gun boat in the Caribbean, where two survivors of the initial airstrike were reportedly killed by a follow-on strike. And lastly they discuss a plan announced by billionaire Michael Dell and his wife Susan to give $250 to each of 25 million American children to supplement proposed “Trump Accounts,” for a total gift of $6.25 billion. Plus, they chat about new rules going into effect for Pentagon reporters, with press briefings scheduled for this week that will be attended by only a few conservative outlets.
