Ep 658 | Cheap Insulin Propaganda & Redeeming America | Guest: Senator Tim Scott

Today we’re debunking the recent stories that claim Republicans voted no on a measure aiming to lower the price of insulin. The parliamentarian of the Senate blocked this measure due to the Democrat proposal breaking budgetary rules, but the Democrats used this to say that Republicans were against lowering costs altogether. We then discuss Trump's and Biden’s recent history with insulin price caps. Then, we’re joined by Senator Tim Scott to discuss his new book, "America, a Redemption Story." We get his take on the state of the country and hear about his upbringing and what led him down the path to becoming a senator.
