YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Paul Rieckhoff joins the News Nation panel to call out the closed primary system as rigged — run by the parties that also referee it — and lays out why the 90-million-strong angry middle will decide the 2026 midterms. Plus: the 'worst ceasefire ever' in Iran with forty percent of the Navy in the region, a three-year inflation high, Trump's 'I love the inflation' quote, the Maine Senate race between Susan Collins and Graham Platner, and Bill Gates testifying on Capitol Hill about the Epstein emails. A no-BS briefing for independents heading into a summer of volatility.
