In 2019, Philip Esformes went on trial for one of the biggest Medicare fraud cases in history. His longtime family rabbi said Philip Esformes was an upstanding citizen ... when he lived in Chicago.

Malcolm Gladwell was fascinated by this case and the prospect of a city changing a man. He covers this in his forthcoming book Revenge of the Tipping Point: Overstories, Superspreaders, and the Rise of Social Engineering.

1A - ‘If You Can Keep It’: The Role Of Abortion In The Election

A growing number of voters in swing states are saying that abortion could sway their decision in the election this November.

But the presidency isn't the only place abortion is relevant on the ballot. At least 11 states—including Arizona, Montana, and Florida—are voting directly on the issue this fall.

It's been two years since the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade.

For this installment of 'If You Can Keep It,' we discuss how the abortion rights landscape has changed and what those changes mean for the election.
