Hello, American, happy, happy Thursday. A lot of smoke still claring from the debate,

from the political race where things are standing all across this country.

That said, there's often a chance to step back and take a look at what we're doing in society in culture.

One of the most astute observers of culture over the last three or four decades,

one of the most listened to radio and television hosts in American history,

Dr. Laura Schlesinger, is going to join us today.

She's got a very special event coming up later

this month an opportunity to interact with her listeners and her viewers in

an intimate setting. She can talk to us about that but she's also going to talk to us about what's happened to our generation of men, our generation of children, our generations of marriages.

Dr. Laura Schlesinger calls it like she sees it, she's colorful. She's funny. She's witty. She's

observant and we're going to spend a good part of this show talking to her at the

top of the hour. Later the show, Gentry Collins, former political director of the Republican National

Committee and the Republican Governors Association, he's created a brand new tool that helps Americans

measure how much more they're paying for the staples of life, food and gas and utilities and

rent and mortgages, now versus under former President Donald Trump.

Just data points, comparison.

Big gas and groceries tool that I think a lot of Americans

should use. It's a great educator going into the final weeks of the election. Go check

out what Gentry Gullens has done. I will have that in the second block of the show today.

Now, I'm on the road traveling right now,

so I'm not gonna spend a lot of time

with big picture stuff today.
