Summary
New York City Democrats have chosen a Democratic-Socialist to be their nominee for mayor, knocking off Andrew Cuomo's political comeback.

Jesse Kelly discusses this with Caroline Downey of the National Review. You'll also hear from Senator Ron Johnson following his big meeting at the White House regarding the Big Beautiful Bill. Plus, a can't-miss story from Josh Hammer about what happened when he was in Israel during the conflict with Iran.
