Turnout, Tech, and a Tough Loss • Best 60ish Seconds

With the midterm elections just a month away, Charlie begins with the battle for Congress. Maine and Michigan remain closely contested Senate races, while here in Pennsylvania, he urges viewers to stand and support Congressman Scott Perry—a combat veteran, former House Freedom Caucus chairman, and proven conservative leader. Charlie’s message is simple: turnout will decide these elections, so now is the time to encourage friends, family, and neighbors to vote.

He also weighs in on former special counsel Jack Smith’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Separately in the Senate, both Pennsylvania Senators Dave McCormick and John Fetterman supported the Protect College Sports Act. The legislation would establish national standards for NIL agreements and bring greater stability to college athletics.

Charlie next shares what he learned while touring a major data center project in Western Pennsylvania. These facilities may be controversial, but safe and responsible development is essential to America’s technological future.

Finally, the tough loss: Charlie’s beloved Phillies fell 6-2 to the Braves in the deciding game of their Wild Card series. There will be no Red October—just another disappointing finish for a long-suffering Philadelphia fan.
