Political elites insisted that the 9/11 attacks occurred because the US Government lacked power and authority. Unfortunately, the elites got their wish and Americans received war, economic calamity, and massive government debt in return.

This week, Congress returns to looming shutdowns and a “pocket-rescission” power grab. Abroad, President Trump pushes “America First” by rebranding the Pentagon as the Department of War—and launching an airstrike on a Venezuelan cartel boat. Our panel asks what all this says about America’s fiscal sanity and its foreign-policy compass.

Minnesota State Senator Omar Fateh made headlines in July after winning the state Democratic Party's endorsement for mayor of Minneapolis as a DSA-backed, millennial Muslim going up against an establishment-backed incumbent. It was giving big Mandani energy until that incumbent, Jacob Frey, challenged the result and got the endorsement revoked. Now, with less than two months until Election Day, Fateh joins Bad Faith to discuss comparisons to Zohran, why Frey has lost the confidence of the party, how DSA candidates can remain accountable to the organization, and how to handle the corporate media's attacks on the defund movement -- especially as a candidate running in the city where George Floyd was killed.

Another remarkable historical turn as Israel makes it clear to Hamas leaders outside Gaza that they are not safe from the war they decided to wage against the Jewish state—an example of how Israel is changing the rules of the game in the Middle East and, as Abe says, is "redrawing the map."

Tim Harford looks at some of the numbers in the news. This week:
Is it true that interest payments on the UK’s national debt are equivalent to £240 per month for everyone in the country?
Reform UK claim that Afghan migrants are 22 times more likely to be convicted of sex offences. Is that number correct?
We try to make sense of a claim that one in 10 women are being driven to leave work by their menopause symptoms.
And we investigate a claim comparing the speed of a snail and the war in Ukraine.
If you’ve seen a number you think we should look at, email the team: moreorless@bbc.co.uk
