Two Socialists Win Senate Nominations & $10 Billion for the SAVE America Act | Moore, McNeily

Ten billion dollars for the SAVE America Act is sitting in a budget bill in Washington right now, and almost nobody is talking about it.
That money is the piece that has been missing for two years, and it is inside the package the House came back to town to work on this week. Instead, the House is set to pass a stopgap spending bill that funds the government to December 11, which is 38 days after you vote, and Majority Leader John Thune has said he will hold reconciliation until the funding question is settled. The Senate is not even in town until September 14. Then Jenny Beth Martin and the panel spend most of the hour on big-government socialism, which is no longer a theory and is no longer confined to one state: two self-described socialists are now major-party nominees for the United States Senate, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has rejoined the Democratic Socialists of America, and that organization's own written platform calls for abolishing the United States Senate, the police, and the prison system. Election Day is 64 days out, and the hour closes on the one thing a citizen can do about it this week.
Guests: Dwayne Moore, a New York county committee member who taught ninth-grade English for five years and ran as a Republican for the New York State Assembly in Queens in 2024, in the 29th district, against a sitting incumbent. Robert McNeily, Director of Broadcasting and Grassroots Engagement at Tea Party Patriots Action and a 2024 candidate for the Georgia House.
