Next week, JD Vance and Tim Walz will face off in the only confirmed vice presidential debate ahead of the election. As voters look ahead to what their economic policies might be, we look back to see what they have said and done, and how it turned out.
Planet Money's newsletter author Greg Rosalsky has spent some time combing through the economic records of Vance and Walz, and has some knowledge to share. Why does Walz support universal free school lunches, and why do some criticize him for it? Why have some called Vance a "Khan-servative?" And, how much do these candidates represent a break from the past?
This episode was hosted by Nick Fountain and Greg Rosalsky. It was produced by James Sneed and Emma Peaslee. It was edited by Meg Cramer. Sierra Juarez fact-checked it, and it was engineered by Valentina Rodríguez Sánchez. Alex Goldmark is Planet Money's Executive Producer.

State of the World from NPR - What the U.S. Military is Learning from the Drone War in Ukraine
As the war in Ukraine drags on, the U.S. military is keeping a close eye on how drones are changing the conflict. They are used by both Russia and Ukraine to watch troop movements, identify targets and drop bombs. We go to the woods of Louisiana to see what lessons the U.S. Army is incorporating into its training and understand what it might mean for future wars.

This Machine Kills - 369. The Third Most Amazing Race (ft. Gaby Del Valle)
We are joined by Gaby Del Valle who has written a great—and distressingly relevant—essay for The Baffler, which reports on the “eugenic foundations of the war on woke.” We dig into the beliefs of innate biological hierarchy and genetic superiority that underpin so much of mainstream right-wing politics. Whether it’s the convergence of Christian nationalist and tech rationalists around issues like declining birth rates and embryo engineering, or its the resurgence of blood libel with JD Vance’s fascist fairy tale about Haitian migrants, or its the cultural war against woke universities and DEI committees—these various sects are all unified by their use of biological essentialism to justify social domination.

The Gist - “Obamaha” For The Win
You know it's a kooky election when Omaha, Nebraska could swing the presidency to the Democrats and California is the path to control of the House of Representatives for the Republicans. Mike is joined by Steve Kornacki, NBC National Political Correspondent and host of The Revolution podcast, to talk about recent polling, mail-in voting, the coattails effect, and who the hell the "incumbent" is in the 2024 race. Also on the show, Maine and Nebraska have decided to be special.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - New Research Shows ‘Past, Present, And Power’ Of Chicago Mexicans
The University of Illinois at Chicago has published an in-depth report studying impact of Mexican Chicagoans, a group that has been historically overlooked as its own data set versus under the umbrella of Chicago Latinos as a whole. According to researchers’ findings, Mexicans are the largest population of Latinos in Chicago and subsequently play a pivotal role in Chicago’s economy.
Reset sat down with Teresa Cordova and Juan Gonzalez, two of the scholars who wrote the report to break down their team’s findings and the importance Mexicans have on informing policies.

Lost Debate - Debate Prep, Diddy, Fed Moves
Should JD Vance and Tim Walz debate next week? Ravi explains why both campaigns should consider canceling the event if Trump and Harris cannot agree to a second presidential debate. He also addresses Trump's shifting position on early voting, the Democrats' difficulties in reaching urban, non-college-educated voters, and new data that suggests the electoral college bias may not be as significant as it has been in previous elections.
Ravi then welcomes Rob Copeland back to the pod to demystify the complexities of the Federal Reserve. Ravi and Rob discuss the ripple effects of the Fed's interest rate adjustments on the economy, the current state of commercial real estate and banking, and the challenges of managing inflation and unemployment.
