Summary

After several automakers announced plans to remove AM radios from electric cars moving forward, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) sprung into action to introduce legislation to save consumers' ability to tune into AM stations. Working alongside Senator Ed Markey (D-MA), Senator Cruz created the "AM for Every Vehicle Act," which has gained popular bipartisan support in Congress. Senator Cruz joins the podcast to share how AM radio remains an important tool for communicating during emergencies and his suspicion that the push to end AM radio was targeting conservative voices. Later, he explains how Democrats' excessive spending led to the national debt growing out of control and gives his thoughts on the 2024 election thus far. Amid a week of debt ceiling debate in Washington, more Republican candidates like former Vice President Pence, former Governor Chris Christie, and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum have teased they will soon be entering the GOP primary race. FOX News Sunday host Shannon Bream joins the podcast to discuss why so many GOP candidates are entering the primary race, why the positivity on the campaign trail will inevitably end with the gloves coming off, and how important Iowa will be for crowning the leading candidates. Later, she weighs in on the surprising momentum behind President Biden's primary challengers, how House Speaker McCarthy navigated the debt ceiling negotiations, and what the latest Supreme Court ruling means for unions. Plus, commentary by Fox News Medical Contributor and author of "Panic Attack," Dr. Nicole Saphier. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
