Today's presenting sponsor is Simply Safe Home Security. September is here, which means summer vacation is officially over. The kids are back in school and Congress is back in session. As life gets more chaotic and political noise ramps up, SimplySafe gives you one less thing to worry about. Their new active guard technology doesn't just react to threats. It actively helps stop crime before it happens. We love Simply Safe here, Crick and Media. John Lovett set one up himself. You bet I did. It was easy to set up. And once I did, the app was great, the customer support was great. It was reliable. I counted on it. Gave me peace of mind. Recommend it. Here's how it works. Their smart cameras can identify a potential threat, not just motion, but a person lurking on your property. That immediately alerts Simply Safe professional monitoring agents in real time. And this is the game changer. Their agents can proactively intervene while the intruder is still outside. They can use two-way audio to confront the intruder, letting them know they're being watched on camera and that police are on the way. They are so confident in what they do that they're no long-term contracts or hidden fees, you can cancel time. They also have a 60-day money-back guarantee so you can try it and see the difference

Maybe you've experienced it yourself. Talking about the news with people in your life is a minefield.

Everyone from uncles who are always a little crazy to uncles who seem normal until they got Facebook and are stuck in their own echo chamber.

immigration crackdown has expanded to droning speedboats and threatening to strip Americans of their

citizenship. Jeffrey Epstein's victims are planning to name name since the Trump administration

is still doing everything it can to prevent the release of the files. The president briefly died over the weekend. And later I talked to strict

scrutiny's Leah Lippman about Trump's judicial losing streak and why federal judges are starting

to complain to reporters about John Roberts's Supreme Court. But let's start with the predictable consequences of putting a brainworm-addled

animal carcass-collecting vaccine denier in charge of America's health and well-being.

Who are you talking about? I'm talking about RFK Jr. Kennedy Skyon. In his short tenure as Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has fired thousands of federal health workers, severely weekend programs to protect people from things like heart attack, strokes, and lead poisoning, canceled a half a billion dollar investment in MRNA vaccines that were being developed to potentially cure cancer,
