Episode Summary:

On this packed edition of the show, Rich breaks down the absolute chaos surrounding Maine’s controversial Senate candidate Graham Platner, diving headfirst into the mounting scandals, the contradictions, and what it means for the upcoming election cycle. Dems are abandoning him because the markets have shifted and show Republican Susan Collins beating. But don't be fooled. If he wins the primary on Tuesday, they will be on board! 

Then, Assistant Secretary for Health Admiral Dr. Brian Christine joins the program from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Dr. Christine pulls back the curtain on the White House's active response to the Ebola threat, the administration's strategic public health directives, and the ongoing mission to restore radical transparency to our federal health institutions. Should we be concerned about foreign travelers coming to America for the World Cup? Could this be another weaponized virus similar to Covid-19? 

Finally, White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary, Kush Desai, joins Rich to look at the numbers that matter to your wallet. The latest official job numbers have dropped, and Rich separates the political spin from economic reality. The great news is that the jobs are in the private sector and government jobs are shrinking to the lowest levels since the 1960's! But what about gas prices. Where do things stand with Iran and how will high gas prices affect the economy?
