Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss the revelations revealed in the court filings of Jack Smith in Donald Trump's Jan 6th case - with more insights into Trump's state of mind that prove legally damning. There's more fallout from the debate as JD Vance has been able to rehab his image in the wake of nice guy Tim Walz not going after him aggressively. And they finish on the latest with Israel's aggression towards Hezbollah and the striking dock workers who are putting pressure on the Presidential Race.
