It was another week, and yes, another packed news cycle.
Now our first three editions of the week were nearly set in stone coming out of the weekend, and those were the latest in the Middle East, Trump's press bans, and the Greenland Agreement, which we wrote about yesterday.
The range of timely issues available for today's edition was broader, including the Paramount settlement, the Missouri redistricting court case, the ICE shooting in Austin, and rising diesel prices.
So why did we choose to discuss GLP-1s, a topic that's been in and out of the news for years now?
Well, for one, the contours of the left-right debate on those newer topics that I mentioned before are still forming.
And we thought that holding off on immediate coverage would allow for more comprehensive analysis as the dust settles.
But in the bigger picture, we liked the idea of exploring a topic that spoke to broader cultural themes and that featured compelling disagreements within the left and the right.
It's easy to fall into the habit of following the news cycle wherever it goes, but we still want to discuss those evergreen issues that shape our everyday lives, even when they aren't dominating the headlines.
And finally, here's our Have a Nice Day story.
In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared a war on poverty and directed U.S.
resources to tracking the nation's poverty rate.
In 1967, the Census Bureau published its first-ever poverty data.
59 years later this September, the Census Bureau announced that the U.S.
poverty rate declined for a second straight year, coming to an all-time low of 10.2% in 2025.
Additionally, the poverty rate for children fell to a historic low of 13.4%, while median household income rose to a record high of $87,460.
Reuters has this story, and we'll drop the link to it in today's show notes.
And that is it for today's edition.
Like I mentioned a few moments ago, it's been a jam-packed week of news.
So I hope that this weekend or whenever you're listening, you're able to disconnect a bit and recharge.
Of course, we'll be back on Monday with our normal coverage.
