A Debatable Experience (Hour 2)
Matt Rothschild stays on to break down the VP debate between Tim Walz and JD Vance last night. Walz didn't have his strongest performance. And Vance never stopped lying. So who won? Well, that depends on how much you value truth. If that's a priority, there's no contest: Walz spoke honestly and earnestly, if haltingly.

Perspective (Hour 2)
Matt Rothschild joins us as our regular Wednesday guest. A woman's perspective. The most recent poll from the Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics shows that young voters are ready and excited to vote for Kamala Harris. Harris holds a particular edge with young women, with a 47% margin lead over Trump. No surprise there. Still, those numbers give us a lot of optimism! Next, we address a response to Trump's comments yesterday about being a "protector" of women, insisting that women will "no longer be thinking about abortion". Producer Jess delivers a dramatic reading of Alexandra Petri's (Washington Post) satirical piece, "It is so much nicer to be a woman in Trump's world".
We wrap the show with a discussion of Biden's farewell address to the UN yesterday. President Biden spoke with clarity, compassion, and grace, showing true leadership perspective on the challenges this world faces.

Let’s be specific (Hour 1)
We hear and read frequent complaints that Kamala Harris doesn't provide specifics when it comes to policy. Well, today, Harris laid out detailed and specific economic policy in Pittsburgh. In contrast, her opponent's proposed policy... well... lacks all substance. Tune in for our highlights with our regular guest, Matt Rothschild.
In the bottom of the hour, we address the disparate ways the media (sometimes ourselves included) cover Trump and Harris. Harris too often receives criticism for lack of content. And Trump far too often benefits from significant sanewashing of his absolutely inane speech and behavior. We're trying to do better.

Matt and Dom review the lie popularized and spread that Haitian immigrants in Ohio are eating pets. Vance calls for the media to fact check the claims from Springfield, and then immediately rejects the fact-checking. Haitian Americans are speaking out about the effects of these lies on their community. Matt recommends us all check out books by Edwidge Danticat, a Haitian-American writer.

There’s no comparison, but let’s contrast these two (Hour 2)
Matt Rothschild joins Dom to chop up the debate. And wow is there a lot to chop. We start the hour by addressing one of the most shocking 3 minutes of the debate as Trump refused to share *any* regrets about his actions on January 6th, 2021. Then we compare the two candidate's responses to questions on foreign policy, specifically addressing the Israel-Hamas war. Listen to what Trump says. Listen to how he says it. And listen to how Harris responded with grace, composure, and certainty. There's no comparison.
