The Commission on Presidential Debates has announced there will be mic shutoffs during the 2nd debate between President Trump and former VP Joe Biden.

Amy Coney Barrett's SCOTUS nomination hearing begins. It's Columbus Day today, or is it Indigenous People's Day? Joe Biden is still confused about everything. Gal Gadot is the new Cleopatra. Joe Anderson from SHP Financial joins us. VB is back from vacation with a full plate!

A new biopic in production on the life of Cleopatra is generating controversy for its decision to cast Gal Gadot in the main role. Is she too white to play Cleopatra? Is her status as an Israeli national a problem, or is such an assertion anti-semetic? Is there any chance her performance can outdo that of the legendary Elizabeth Taylor?

Boston's woke are at it again, celebrating Columbus Day by calling for its name change to "Indigenous People's Day". Additionally, they're also calling for the removal of the Cyrus Dallin sculpture "Appeal To The Great Spirit" from the grounds of the MFA. Are they right, or are they off the reservation?

As the Senate Judiciary Committee begins its confirmation hearings for Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, what's with all the grandstanding in the senators' "opening statements"? Is Sen. Ben Sasse right to scold the committee for confusing the nation's 8th grade civics class students? What's with all the fearmongering over the Affordable Care Act? Finally, as Joe Biden continues to dodge questions on court packing, the name of Sen. Mitt Romney seems to escape him.
