The Thing About the Election Is… Squirrel! (Hour 2)
Voters are stranded like never before when it comes to finding credible information sources to keep them informed with news that is rooted in facts, perspective, and an unapologetic stance that makes defending democracy their north star. We’ll talk to Mark Jacob about how the media is predictably prone to chasing shiny objects and short-term acorns rather than focusing on the falling tree.

The Self-Fulfilling Recession Prophecy (Hour 2)
A new public opinion survey shows the power of political communication: Despite the strongest economy on the planet and numbers not seen in years, many Americans who say their own finances are good are also believing that a recession is at hand or already here—thanks to a certain political class planting that false message and rooting for a recession to actually materialize.

Supreme Disappointment (Hour 2)

We’ll talk to former US Attorney Jim Santelle about how a jury has been selected for Trump’s case of election interference via business fraud.
