Summary
The latest battle over abortion rights is set to begin in Ohio. On August 8th, voters in the Buckeye State will decide on Issue 1, a ballot initiative about ballot initiatives (yes, you read that right). The outcome will determine whether or not Ohioans can decide in November whether to enshrine abortion access into the state's constitution.
And in headlines: Russia's military says it brought down three Ukrainian drones over Moscow, a property manager at Mar-a-Lago charged in the Trump classified documents case will appear in federal court, and rapper Cardi B threw a microphone at a fan who tossed a drink at her on stage in Las Vegas.

| 0:00.0 | It's Monday, July 31st. I'm Trayvell Anderson. |
| 0:09.2 | And I'm Josie Duffy Rice and this is What A Day. |
| 0:12.0 | Where we are actively questioning my J.K. Rowling gave Harry Potter the same birthday as Trayvell. |
| 0:17.5 | Now you know I don't want to give her too much credit but she may have been on to something you know. |
| 0:22.2 | Yeah I said like a true Leo. That is a birthday compliment. |
| 0:30.9 | On today's show, Russia's military says it shot down three Ukrainian drones over Moscow. |
| 0:36.8 | Plus Cardi B responded to a concert goer throwing a drink at her in just the way you'd expect. |
| 0:43.4 | But first you may have heard from our friends at Boots of America that there are no off-years |
| 0:47.5 | and 2023 is living up to that. As a month of July comes to a close we wanted to put the spotlight |
| 0:52.4 | on a special election that's coming up in Ohio on Tuesday, August 8th. Voters in the |
| 0:57.3 | Buckeye State will head to the polls to decide on a ballot measure known as issue one which will |
| 1:02.0 | ultimately affect whether Ohioans can enshrine abortion rights protections within the state's |
| 1:06.6 | constitution. In a nutshell, issue one would make it harder to change or amend Ohio's constitution. |
| 1:13.0 | Right now it takes just 50% of voters plus one vote to pass a new constitutional amendment. |
| 1:18.4 | But if issue one succeeds it would raise that threshold and make it more difficult to put |
| 1:22.1 | measures like these on the ballot. |
| 1:24.3 | I do not like the sound of any of this at all. |
| 1:27.4 | Not feeling democratic to me. |
| 1:29.5 | Right. But tell us how exactly does this tie into abortion rights. |
| 1:33.6 | Yeah, it's a good question. And our co-host Priyanka Arabandi recently talked to |
| 1:37.0 | Crooked's VP of Politics, Triniqua McClendon to get a better picture of what's going on here. |
| 1:41.1 | So take a listen to their conversation. |
