Hi, this is Josh Barrow.

On Thursday, October 20th, KCRW is coming out of our basement studios for a civilized, yet provocative, left, right, and center live.

Join us at the beautiful Ace Hotel Theater in downtown Los Angeles for a night of amusing and insightful commentary on this unique election season.

I'll be joined by Kelly Goff, Jean Sperling, and Mona Charon as we dissect Trump

versus Clinton, Democrat versus Republican, and fact versus fiction. Buy your tickets today at

KCRW.com slash LRC live.

From KCRW in Santa Monica and PRI, Public Radio International, this is To the Point. A presidential campaign as a personal investment.

Hello again. I'm Arunalny and this is To the Point. When he first announced, Donald Trump

boasted that he could make money running for president and he's making good on his promise.

Trump's campaign has bought travel on his plane, rented his facilities, bought his stakes,

and paid his personal staff all for more than $8 million.

Nobody says that's illegal, but the Trump Foundation might have violated civil law

by using other people's donations to finance Trump's personal lifestyle. We'll compare

Trump's campaign to those of past billionaire candidates and hear about potential conflicts

of interest if he wins control of federal agencies. Later on today's talking point, the CEO of the

New York Times on when a lie should be called a lie.

First here's the news.

Support for To the Point comes from the members of KCRW and from the Public Radio International

Program Fund. Hello again, Mormon, I I'll hear back with The Poet.

Donald Trump is doing what no billionaire candidate has done before, mixing his personal business with his political campaign.
