America has a primary problem, and New York City is ground zero. Less than 500,000 voters showed up to decide who runs a city of five million, while a million independents — Paul included — were shut out by the most closed primary in the country. That's not democracy. That's a rigged two-party system handing the keys to whichever faction can mobilize the most insiders, while the angry middle stands on the sidelines watching the country drift.
In this special episode cut from two recent CNN appearances with Erin Burnett, Paul breaks down the seismic NYC shakeup, the Senate's overdue spine on Iran, the worst ceasefire ever, and a White House so packed with sycophants that the president's own assistant leaves him love notes. He digs into why Trump is fixated on the Save Act — because free and fair elections are America's circuit breaker — and why Democrats keeping Barack Obama on the sidelines is political malpractice. It's quick-fire, intel-grade analysis for the angry middle. No jersey. No spin. No-BS.
