Shakeup for the Democrats in the Senate.  After clinching a 51-49 majority with Raphael Warnock's win in Georgia, Sen. Krysten Sinema announced she would be leaving the Democratic party and register as an Independent.  While the impact may be minimal when trying to pass legislation, it means a lot when we look ahead to 2024 and how the two parties will fight to win that seat.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for how this decision plays out, Kari Lake files an election lawsuit in Arizona, and the big fight of the week, Congress struggling to fund the government and avoid a shutdown.   Next, a look into the hyper competitive world of body building and the extremes it takes to get those outrageous physiques.  There is hours and hours of training, strict diets, and then there are the drugs… steroids and other performance enhancing drugs.  It is leaving athletes with irreparable damage to their bodies, with some having heart problems, needing kidney transplants, and worst-case, death.  Jenn Abelson, investigative reporter at the Washington Post, joins us for how the extreme sport of bodybuilding is pushing some to the edge.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Biden turned 80 over the weekend, the oldest serving president in U.S. history.  He has said he intends to run again, planning a decision for early next year.  However, recent gaffes have added to concerns from those in his own party and polls also show that the public has doubts about leaders his age.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for this, GOP hopefuls beginning to make their case, and Nancy Pelosi's legacy as Speaker of the House.   Next, due to inflation, supply chain issues, and the bird flu, your Thanksgiving meal is definitely more expensive this year.  20% more expensive to be exact.  The average cost of a meal for ten is $64.05.  You could see a shortage of large birds and everything on the table costs more except for one item, fresh cranberries.  Herb Scribner, reporter at Axios, joins us for what to know.   Finally, electric vehicles continue to grow into the mainstream of car buying.  EVs are the fastest growing segment of the auto market with sales jumping 70%.  Gas powered cars account for most of the new car market, but people are increasingly turning to battery powered cars to save money on maintenance and fuel, making them their daily drivers.  Peter Eavis, business reporter at the NY Times, joins us for more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The midterms are finally here, and which party will take control of Congress hangs in the balance.  Republicans, poised to take over the House, have the lead on the economy, crime, and inflation.  Democrats, lead on the issues of climate change and abortion.  Control of the Senate will be up to a few key races including Pennsylvania and Georgia.  President Biden and former President Obama are making the case that democracy is at stake in this election and former President Trump, painting Democrats as the radical left, could be announcing his reelection bid very soon.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for a midterm preview.   Next, Americans went on a fast furniture buying spree during the pandemic and very soon it could all be going in the trash.  Fast furniture is mass-produced and relatively inexpensive, think of something you might find at Ikea or Wayfair.  Each year we throw out more than 12 million tons of furniture and some of the materials in fast furniture don't break down or biodegrade.  Some of these items are only meant to last about five years, so the next spot for them is the landfill.  Debra Kamin, contributor to the NY Times, joins us for what to know.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 Last week, Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, was attacked at their home in San Francisco.  We are now learning more about the attacker who left an extensive online trail of support for conspiracy theories and blog posts railing against Jewish and Black people, the media, and transgender people.  When he entered the home, he kept asking “Where's Nancy?”  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for what we know about this attack and the broader concern as we see an increase in political violence.   Next, Halloween means it's time for spooky movies!  Horror movies in general have had quite the evolution in the last 100 years.  Some of the best horror movies have acted as a mirror reflecting our own fears of the time back at us and built upon each other to get us where we are today in the genre.  From the early days with the classic movie monsters, to the slashers and serial killer flicks, all the way to modern horror movies, they have all been commentaries of what is going on in the world at the time. Aja Romano, culture writer at Vox, joins us for the horror century of movies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The debate to watch this week was between John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz.  It was Pennsylvania's first and only Senate debate and could be the thing that tips the scales.  John Fetterman's recovery from a stroke he suffered some months ago was on full display.  The Democrats' speech was delayed, and he struggled to answer coherently at times.  Dr. Oz, on the other hand, was very polished and comfortable on camera staying on message with attacks on crime and inflation but had a stumble on the abortion issue.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, was there and gives us the top takeaways for this consequential debate.   Next, long before social networks became the place for celebrities and influencers to flex their clout, their likeability was ruled by the Q Score.  Advertising agencies, TV studios and marketing execs used the Q Score as a guide to put the most liked people, athletes and even brands in front of audiences.  While it doesn't hold the same importance as it once did, the Q Score is still measured to this day, and this list of most and least liked people are probably exactly what you might think.  Travis Andrews, features writer at The Washington Post joins us for what happened to the almighty Q Score and how celebrity has changed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Xi Jinping has claimed a third term as the Communist Party leader in China.  He will now serve another five-year term overseeing the world's second largest economy and a growing military continuing to pose threats to the U.S. on multiple fronts.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for the latest in China and more.  With the midterm elections just a few weeks away, Democrats are getting more worried about their prospects, and we'll get a preview of the high-stakes Pennsylvania Senate debate on Tuesday.   Next, it was the largest animal welfare seizure in the Humane Society's history.  Nearly 4,000 beagles were rescued from the Envigo facility in Virginia where they were breeding dogs for research.  After USDA investigators found horrible conditions there, an undercover investigation by PETA, and a lawsuit filed by the Justice Department, a judge ruled that the dogs be surrendered to the Humane Society.  But that was only the beginning, then came the huge task of retrieving and adopting out the dogs, some of which had health and behavioral problems.  Lizzie Johnson, staff writer at the Washington Post, joins us for the rescue of the Envio beagles.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last week President Biden announced an expedited review of how marijuana is scheduled under federal law and that he would pardon individuals charged with simple marijuana possession on a federal level.  This action will clear thousands of people but will not clear state convictions or decriminalize the drug.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at the Hill, joins us for the politics of the pardon and how the abortion issue is playing out before the midterms.   Next, more American are getting married for the first time in their 40s and 50s.  For women, the rates of first marriages in midlife has increased by 74% between 1999 and 2019.  For men, it has increased by 49%.  Many say they didn't marry sooner because they were pursuing education and careers and some just say they weren't interested in marrying earlier.  Clare Ansberry, Turning Points columnist at the WSJ, joins us for what to know.   Finally, sales of energy drinks are up 56% since summer of 2019 and the rise has been partially driven by options that claim to be healthier.  New drinks on the market are touting vitamins, electrolytes, less sugar, and better taste.  Doctors are still not totally convinced and warn of not drinking too much, but that hasn't stopped big beverage companies from investing in the market.  Rachel Wolfe, consumer trends reporter at the WSJ, joins us for why everyone is slamming down energy drinks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The midterm elections are six weeks away and new polls show that voters are divided over who should control Congress.  For now, Republicans hold a firm lead on the economy, crime, and inflation.  Democrats hold leads on the issues of abortion and climate change.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for how voters are feeling and the Republican governor that everyone wants stumping for them.   Next, inflation continues to hammer away at the country and another stressor coming to older Americans and those with aging parents, the rising cost of senior living homes.  Long-term care providers have had to deal with higher costs of food, utilities, insurance, wages, and managing Covid-19, and those costs are being passed on to seniors and their families catching them off-guard.  Clare Ansberry, Turning Points columnist at the WSJ, joins us for what to know.   Finally, another factor that could be keeping the housing supply limited for some time to come is that homeowners are reluctant to sell their homes now that mortgage rates are much higher.  To sell your house and then buy into another loan with a rate nearly double what many have been locked into, doesn't make sense.  Instead, many are choosing to list their homes for rent.  Nicole Friedman, U.S. housing reporter at the WSJ, joins us for more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Harris Poll Chairman / Stagwell Chairman & CEO MARK PENN and The Hill's JULIA MANCHESTER discuss the latest Harvard-Harris Poll, conducted September 7-8 among 1,885 registered voters. VIDEO - KEY RESULTS - CROSSTABS - TOPLINE - LINKEDIN - FACEBOOK - INSTAGRAM - TWITTER PUZZLING - The midterms remain nearly a dead heat even though President Joe Biden's approval rating is still underwater at 41%. Inflation remains the biggest concern for voters, over half of whom say the Inflation Reduction Act is more likely to increase rather than decrease inflation. While student debt relief is having little net effect on Democrats' outlook, the overturn of Roe v. Wade is increasing likelihood to vote Democratic.Results also show the FBI's raid of Donald Trump's residence has not hurt the standing of the former president, whom voters would still pick in a presidential election over Joe Biden if the 2024 election were held today. Americans are evenly split on whether the raid was politically motivated, but a clear majority, 58%, think appointing a special master to review the documents taken by the Department of Justice is reasonable.DEMOCRATS HOLD THE DAM AS INFLATION REMAINS TOP CONCERN Biden's approval has ticked up slightly to 41% as voter sentiment on his administration's handling of inflation and unemployment improves.The generic Congressional ballot remains tight, 51-49 in favor of the Democrats.Inflation remains the biggest concern for both Democrats and Republicans, followed by abortion rights for Democrats and immigration for Republicans.BIDEN'S SPEECH ON MAGA REPUBLICANS IS UNPOPULAR AS AMERICANS WORRY ABOUT DIVIDING THE COUNTRYBiden's September 1 speech in Philadelphia, in which he called Trump and MAGA Republicans a threat to the country, is viewed as divisive: 56% of voters, including 62% of Independents, opposed it.Biden's approval has ticked up slightly to 41% as voter sentiment on his administration's handling of inflation and unemployment improve.More Americans are concerned about the socialist left rather than MAGA Republicans gaining power, 55-45.AMERICANS WANT TO INVESTIGATE THE HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP STORY The Hunter Biden laptop story is not going away: 59% of Americans think the laptop story is genuine, not Russian disinformation. 63% of voters think the FBI helped suppress the story by telling tech companies it could be Russian disinformation.63% of voters think the DOJ should appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Biden laptop.BIDEN'S STUDENT LOAN RELIEF DOES NOT AFFECT MANY AMERICANS OR MAKE THEM WANT TO VOTE DEMOCRATICAmericans are evenly split on Biden's cancellation of up to $20,000 of debt for couples making up to $250,000.Only 17% of Americans say they will be personally helped by the program.Voters are skeptical of Biden's method: 56% think it was wrong of Biden to act without Congress, and 52% think his executive order will ultimately be deemed unconstitutional.

The discussions surrounding President Biden's decision to forgive some student debt for millions of Americans continued with some opponents saying it would increase inflation and it amounts to an unfair bailout for elites and those that could not manage their loans.  The White House chose to fight back by highlighting several Republican lawmakers who had six and seven figure PPP loans forgiven which taxpayers were also in the hook for.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for this, more fallout from the Mar-a-Lago raid, and Democrats thinking they may have a chance in November after all.   Next, Abbott Laboratories has restarted production of Similac at their plant Michigan that was at the center of the U.S. baby formula shortage.  One thing that gets overlooked was what caused the shutdown…a lot of sloppiness coming from the factory.  By the time FDA investigators showed up for their annual inspection, it was already a year overdue because of Covid restrictions.  Despite finding evidence of cronobacter bacteria at the plant, the FDA relied on Abbot to fix its own problems and then came a whistleblower report.  By the time the plant was shut down some babies had fallen ill, and the shortage was imminent.  Anna Edney, national healthcare reporter at Bloomberg News, joins us for how the US baby formula shortage got started.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The political fallout continues from the FBI's raid on Mar-a-Lago as Republicans maintain it was all politically motivated government overreach.  Since the search, the FBI has come under increased scrutiny and threats of violence.  FBI Director Christopher Wray, who is trying to distance himself from the politics is reportedly “pissed” about the threats against his department.  Former President Trump on the other hand, is pressing for the unredacted release of the affidavit that led to the search warrant.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for the latest and a look at how Republicans are worried about their possible gains in the Senate.   Next, Inc. Magazine has released their list of the fastest growing companies in America. Among the top 500, the median revenue growth rate over the past three years has been 2,144% and of all the companies on the list, they have added about 1.2 million jobs.  Scott Omelianuk, Editor in Chief at Inc. Magazine joins us for the results of their CEO survey, what these companies reveal about the future of business, and a look at SnapNurse, the Uber of nursing and how it has reimagined medical staffing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former President Trump had a very tumultuous time last week as his home at Mar-a-Lago was raided by the FBI.  There they seized 11 sets of classified documents, some that were labeled top secret.  Latest reports say that in his final days in office, he was so preoccupied with trying to overturn the election, that he failed to properly prepare to leave the White House leaving aides to just throw everything into boxes. Trump now faces three separate criminal investigations.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for what to know about the raid, how Republican leaders are reacting, and two primaries to watch out for this week.   Next, stick shift cars may soon be a thing of the past.  Of the hundreds of new car models for sale in 2022, only 30 can be purchased with a manual transmission.  A couple of reasons why the manual is on its way out, is that new car technology has become too good and the rise of electric vehicles, which have no gear boxes, continues to push them out.  Still, many car drivers love the connection they feel when controlling the car and lament how they may no longer be, myself included.  Ian Bogost, contributing writer at The Atlantic, joins us for the end of the manual transmission.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Senate Democrats have passed the Inflation Reduction Act with a 51-50 vote, Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote.  Democrats say the bill will combat climate change, reduce health care costs, reduce the deficit, and raise taxes on big corporations.  The bill now moves on to the House before it hits Biden's desk, but the bill also delivers another big win for the president.  Despite some wins however polls still show that Americans are worried about the economy and Biden's approvals remain low.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for what to know.   Next, some streaming stars are learning the hard way what the price of online fame can be.  Stars on the video game streaming platform Twitch invite viewers into their homes to hangout, interact with fans and they can gain big followings pretty quickly, but they also have to deal with stalkers and harassment.  While it's not new that celebrities have had to deal with these difficulties from fans, the intimacy that the streaming relationship allows for just amps it up.  Kellen Browning, tech reporter at the NY Times, joins us for how content creators and streamers are now hoping that platforms put a greater emphasis on personal security.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is visiting 4 Asian countries to discuss trade, Covid-19, climate change and security.  Missing notably from her itinerary is whether Pelosi and her delegation would visit Taiwan in what would be the first visit from an American official since 1997.  China has warned of consequences if Pelosi does touch down there because China claims them as their territory.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for what to know about this, Republicans increasingly courting Latino voters, and Biden testing positive again for Covid-19.   Next, the deadliest road in America is US-19, a stretch of highway in Pasco County, Florida.  The road has three lanes on both sides with extra turn lanes and a speed limit of 45-55 mph making it more like a freeway.  The road was definitely not built with pedestrians in mind as crosswalks are few and far between causing people to often cross where they can to access the businesses and restaurants along the way.  Roads like this are called “stroads” meant to be quick thoroughfares through multiple cities, but also share characteristics with smaller streets, places for people to live, shop, and eat and this combination can be deadly for those on foot.  Marin Cogan, senior correspondent at Vox, joins us for more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Biden is still recovering from Covid-19 as his doctors have said he has improved significantly but still has a sore throat while other symptoms have diminished.  They also said that it is likely that he has the BA.5 Omicron subvariant.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for a quick health update and what we learned from dueling Trump and Pence rallies in Arizona.  The Republican base still loves the former President as he gears up to run again. Next, Beyond Meat has a pepperoni problem.  It currently has a deal to bring its alt-meat to KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, but more than a year into its partnership it is struggling to deliver on the new products.  When it comes to the pepperoni, only a small test has been done at select Pizza Hut locations because they kept hitting speed bumps along the way.  The fake pepperoni links are formed in Pennsylvania, flown to Europe to be cooked and sliced, then flown back to the states.  There were even disagreements over the order of cooking and slicing.  Deena Shanker, food reporter at Bloomberg News, joins us for Beyond Meat's struggles. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, in a surprise hearing from the Jan. 6 committee, we heard from Cassidy Hutchinson who was an aide to WH Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.   At the hearing she detailed many instances that Trump knew of the possible violence at the Capitol and some examples of extreme anger from the president too.  She told a story about Trump grabbing the steering wheel of his security detail demanding that they take him to the Capitol and also an instance when he threw a plate at the wall after William Barr said there was no fraud in the election.  Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for what, if anything legally may come from the hearings. Next, since the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, trigger laws in various states have been put into effect and focus has been turned to providing continued access for women if needed.  What we are seeing is an uptick in demand for abortion pills, which could also set up new legal battles in states with those bans.  Also known as medication abortion, it accounted for 54% of all abortions in 2020 because it is less invasive, less expensive and pills can be received by mail.  Pam Belluck, health and science reporter at the NY Times, joins us for what to know. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The debate in the United States on a woman's right to abortion has raged on for decades. For conservatives, it is about religious values and the country's future as a Christian nation. For progressives and many moderates, it is about individual rights. If the US Supreme Court rolls back Roe v Wade in the coming months, it will be a milestone in the Culture Wars. Host Steve Clemons asks journalist Julia Manchester and historians Jonathan Zimmerman and Andrew Hartman whether there is still room for compromise among the two camps on abortion and other values- and lifestyle-based issues like gay marriage, immigration and racism. #TheBottomLine

The big story in Washington, DC this week remains that leaked first draft of an opinion written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito in which it appears a majority of justices will vote to overturn Roe v Wade later this summer, a bombshell revelation that is sending shockwaves throughout the country. In Washington, pro abortion rights activists protested in front of the homes of conservative justices whose addresses were made public, and someone threw a molotov cocktail into the office of Wisconsin Family Action, a pro-life activist group, an act the White House is condemning. On Wednesday, the Senate will take up legislation that would codify Roe v Wade, and both parties are reexamining the midterm elections with the abortion issue suddenly front and center. Frequent CBN News Faith Nation guest and U.S. Politics and Campaign Reporter for the Hill, Julia Manchester, joins the Rundown to discuss all angles of this story. 

The U.S. will provide $800 million in new military aid to Ukraine, totaling over $1 billion so far to help them fight back against Russia. This comes after Ukrainian President Zelensky made an impassioned plea to Congress for more help including a no-fly zone. It still doesn't seem that the U.S. or European allies are ready to take that step, hoping to avoid a wider conflict. Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for more. Next, more than a third of the CDC's wastewater samples across the U.S. are showing rising Covid trends the first two weeks of March. Sewer samples can often spot increasing virus levels before official tests results. It's unclear if this points to an upcoming wave, but we currently have 98% of the U.S. population that is in places with a low community level rating. Drew Armstrong, senior editor for healthcare at Bloomberg News, joins us for what the wastewater is signaling. Finally, the Covid pill made by Merck has been prescribed heavily despite some concerns. Regulators and doctors think that the Merck pill should be one of the last options in treating Covid because concerns that it could cause birth defects and cause more variants to form. But with Pfizer's pill in limited supply, many doctors have turned to molnupiravir. Jared Hopkins, pharma reporter at the WSJ, joins us for what to know about the Merck Covid antiviral.

President Biden tried to strike a tone of unity during his State of the Union speech and at key points it seems he succeeded. Speaking about the country's support for the Ukrainian people and opposition to Putin's invasion Biden received applause from both sides of the aisle. He later highlighted issues that do garner bipartisan support like fixing the opioid epidemic, funding the police, mental health and fighting cancer. The Republican response focused on what we might be seeing during the midterm elections… a focus on parents and education and hammering Biden on inflation. Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for all the fallout. Next, in another preview of what we could be seeing in the midterm elections, Texas had its primary and the establishment seems to have maintained the momentum for now. No incumbent Republican was ousted especially Gov. Greg Abbott who won easily despite some early pushback from the right. President Trump was also a player in the primary as he supported some 16 House incumbents and 2 candidates in open seats. David Siders, national political reporter at Politico, joins us for more.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine continues as we see President Biden announce even stricter sanctions imposed on Russian banks and oligarchs hoping to deter Putin from his mission. But things have progressed too much with reports of Ukrainian deaths, Russia capturing nuclear site Chernobyl, and worries of how far this can go. We are even seeing reports of anti-war protests in Russia. Julia Manchester, national political reporter at the Hill, joins us for the latest sanctions, the impact they might have, and the politics surrounding the invasion. Next, we will tell you about the Nocturnals. The ultra-introverts that prefer to go about their lives at night relishing in the solitude and quiet. The people that seek out this lifestyle by choice go against what many psychologists think is an important part of human interaction and also against their own natural circadian rhythms. But some feel that the inconveniences of operating at night or even the possible health effects are acceptable trade-offs because it makes them happier and truer to themselves. Faith Hill, associate editor at The Atlantic, joins us for more.

It's a local race on a national level. The political tête-à-tête to see who will be Virginia's next governor is a toss-up, with Democratic candidate Terry McAuliffe and Republican candidate Glenn Younkin engaging in a race that is tighter than anyone expected. The latest polls show a virtual tie between the two men with a little over a week to go until election day on November 2, and analysts across the country say this election could be a bellwether for the 2022 midterms. Political Reporter for The Hill, Julia Manchester, is covering the race and joins the show to talk about all the major issues that are shaping this off-year election battle. Also, Attorney General Merrick Garland was feeling the heat during testimony before the House Judiciary Committee this week, answering pointed questions from Republicans concerning a Justice Department memo regarding threats against school board members as well as ethics questions surrounding critical race theory, and from Democrats on his stance toward prosecuting members of President Trump's administration and/or inner circle with regard to January 6. Washington correspondent Jennifer Wishon is covering that story for CBN News and joins The Rundown to talk about Garland's testimony from Thursday.

Rick and Julia Manchester discuss how pro-Trump candidates are seizing the opportunity to run for governor.

Night 2 of the Democratic debates and the front-runner Joe Biden was taking hits from all around on healthcare, immigration, and criminal justice reform.  He handled himself better than last time, but did not get out unscathed.  Sen. Kamala Harris also took a lot of heat from other candidates and was put on defense many times throughout.  Sen. Cory Booker might have won the most improved candidate award.  He needed a breakout moment and had a few good exchanges with Biden.  Julia Manchester, campaign reporter at The Hill, joins us for a breakdown of night 2. Next, after news came to light about Operation Varsity Blues, the college admission cheating scandal, a national conversation occurred about unfairness in the admissions process.  Now a new financial aid loophole is facing scrutiny by the Education Dept.  They are looking into a tactic used by wealthy parents in the suburbs of Chicago where they transfer the legal guardianship of their college bound children so they can more easily claim financial aid.  Doug Belkin, reporter for the WSJ, joins us for how it all works.

The first night of the second round of Democratic debates focused highly on the divide between the moderates and progressives… are candidates like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren too far to the left and promising too much to win against Donald Trump.  The conversation spread into many of the top issues for Democrats… healthcare, immigration, and the economy.  Julia Manchester, campaign reporter at the Hill joins us to discuss night 1. Next, one of the country's biggest credit card issuers, Capital One, has been hit by a data breach which has compromised the personal information of over 100 million people.  The thing that makes this breach different than others, is that it was the work of one hacker named Paige Thompson, rather than an outside group with nation-state connections.  Kate Fazzani, cyber security reporter at CNBC, joins us for how all this information was stolen. Finally, 3M has invented a new way to ship products that could do away with having to use cardboard boxes and tape on small deliveries.  Their new Flex & Seal Shipping Roll, can be cut to size and uses an adhesive inner layer that only sticks to itself and not the object inside. Katharine Schwab, reporter at Fast Company, joins us for this new product that could help small businesses. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

Joe Biden has officially joined the crowded group of Democratic hopefuls to take on Trump in 2020. The former Vice President posted his highly anticipated announcement video on his Twitter account early Thursday morning. And the video didn't hold anything back, Biden brought Americans back to Charlottesville, where violence and hate led to the death of Heather Heyer. Biden called Trump out on his offensive and repulsive response to the incident, while trying to remind the American people that this is a battle for the soul of the nation.Polls leading up to Biden's announcement had him ahead of all the other candidates in the race. Now that he's in, will the third time be a charm or will the allure slowly fade?Bill sits down with Julia Manchester from The Hill and Eliza Collins from USA Today.
