There was an anti-Semitic mass shooting on Bondi Beach in Australia, a terror attack on U.S. staffers in Syria and a mass shooting at venerable Brown University. Here's the latest.

Chad has plenty to discuss with several great guests today including Alan Sepinwall on the career of Rob Reiner, Mike Grant with thoughts on the Vikings and JJ McCarthy, Paul Gazelka on fraud and the GOP field in the race for Governor, and Chip Scoggins on the Purple and Wild.
