Is This the October Surprise?

<p><strong>Hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum recap the Vice-Presidential debate between Governor Tim Walz and Senator JD Vance, and break down each candidate's performance in the context of the larger race. In a post-Trump, soundbite-obsessed era, do Americans value a debate focused more on substance than style? </strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>There is an expanding war in the Middle East that has our hosts shook! In a viral </strong><a href="https://x.com/cbsmornings/status/1840749848703770679"><strong>Ta-Nehisi Coates interview</strong></a><strong>, a commentator compares the authors’ writings about the Gaza/Israel conflict to “something a terrorist would have in their backpack.” Our hosts critique the interview and connect the dots between media coverage of the conflict and a general de-valuing of Arab lives. </strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>And of course we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFam listeners. This week, we’ll hear from a listener who needs help convincing young men in his community to vote. </strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: </strong><a href="http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/"><strong>www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/</strong></a></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>We are 33 days away from the election.
