On today’s edition of The Scott Jennings Show, Scott examines new CBS News polling showing Democratic voters have a more favorable view of socialism than capitalism and what that could signal about the party’s ideological direction. Scott also covers the latest developments in Iran, falling prescription drug prices, the DNC’s support for abolishing ICE, and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear’s call to eliminate the Electoral College. Investigative reporter Ryan Thorpe joins the program to discuss his reporting on government secrecy and public-records transparency under California Gov. Gavin Newsom, while Scott highlights the sacrifices and combat accomplishments of the sailors and Marines aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln following its lengthy deployment. In Hour Two, Associated Press Executive Editor Julie Pace offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the AP calls elections and maintains its nonpartisan approach to political coverage, before the show concludes with highlights from Scott’s Young America’s Foundation keynote to more than 800 college students about the ideological challenges facing their generation.
