Summary
In the aftermath of increasingly destructive natural disasters like Hurricanes Helene and Milton, politicians on both sides of the aisle have politicized the recovery effort. What fewer people are making political is the reason those storms were so destructive: warmer oceans caused by climate change. Bill Nye, the Science Guy, joins us to talk about why people should vote with the environment in mind this November.
And in headlines: Former President Donald Trump blames Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for Ukraine's war with Russia, A Texas state court temporarily delays an execution, Israeli officials killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, and Google says it will block all political ads as soon as the polls close on November 5th.

| 0:43.4 | an audience member asked former President Donald Trump |
| 0:45.7 | if he still believes climate change is a hoax. |
| 0:48.0 | And Trump responded with this completely incomprehensible answer. |
| 0:52.4 | What I do think is this, we can't destroy our country over being forced to do things. |

| 1:20.0 | In my administration I had the cleanest air on record, |
| 1:24.7 | and yet I didn't destroy jobs. |
| 1:26.1 | I had the most jobs of any administration ever. |
| 1:29.2 | I also had the cleanest water, crystal clean. |
| 1:31.5 | We had the cleanest water, the cleanest. To me those are the |
