40:03Now PlayingIt took many scandals, but finally the Democrats have found their red line with Graham Platner. With his withdrawal from the Maine Senate race, Batya breaks down how and why the left forgave the Nazi tattoo, but not the falling behind in the polls with former pollster Mark Penn. He also weighs in on what the Platner mess means for the party's future. Batya explores whether "Free Palestine" has become the Dems' new "Defund the Police" as socialist candidates like Abul El-Sayed surge in Michigan. Also, former UN Ambassador John Bolton addresses the renewed escalation with Iran, and if he thinks the President can finally put an end to the war, or will he be hamstrung by the looming midterm elections. And lastly, what does the escalation mean for gas prices as Americans move into peak travel season? This episode originally aired July 11, 2026.
