Abolish the Senate: Jeffries Says No, His Caucus Says Yes & Florida Votes | Martin, Carroll, McNeily

Abolish the Senate. It is in writing, published July 14 by the Democratic Socialists of America, and the House Democratic leader says he will seat the candidates who run on it.
Jenny Beth Martin opens with the platform itself: abolish the United States Senate, and replace the President and the Supreme Court with an executive and a judiciary chosen by Congress and answerable to Congress. On Sunday, House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said he does not support that agenda, then said the members elected on it will be part of his caucus. Polls are open in Florida with more than 1,200 offices on the ballot, Iran's 60-day negotiating window closed Monday with no announced path, and four Democratic Senate nominees have refused to back Chuck Schumer as leader.
Guests: Rod Martin, founder and chief executive of Martin Capital and author of The Rod Martin Report; Conn Carroll, commentary editor at the Washington Examiner and author of "Sex and the Citizen"; and Robert McNeily, Director of Broadcasting and Grassroots Engagement at Tea Party Patriots Action.
Today's topics:
• The platform published July 14 that calls for abolishing the United States Senate, packing the Supreme Court, and getting rid of the Electoral College
• What the House Democratic leader actually said on Sunday, and what a broad caucus means for that agenda
• Florida votes: an open governor's race, the special election for the Senate seat Marco Rubio left, and more than 1,200 offices down to county judgeships
• A redrawn congressional district with three Republicans neck and neck and nearly half of Republican voters undecided hours before polls opened
• Gallup finds 45 percent of Americans say there is nothing good about socialism, and the far left keeps winning primaries anyway
• Four Democratic Senate nominees refuse to back Chuck Schumer: Abdul El-Sayed, Peggy Flanagan, Troy Jackson, and Juliana Stratton
• Georgia gets loud: the President in Marietta on Senator Jon Ossoff, and Ossoff answering back in Atlanta
• Conn Carroll on autonomy conservatives versus common good conservatives, and what James Madison and John Adams actually wrote
• Rod Martin on closing the undersea gap with China, and the first new public Navy yard in 80 years
• Iran's 60-day negotiating window closes with a fifth of the world's oil trade still moving through the Strait of Hormuz
• Ukraine sends roughly 600 drones at Moscow while the United States turns to Ukraine to buy drones
• Tungsten up 622 percent since January of last year, with China controlling about 80 percent of world production
• Your job today: pick one candidate, go to their website, and sign up to make calls, knock doors, or donate
