Hour 1 - 

Happy Thursday! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had another scary health episode on Wednesday.

President Biden, while speaking to wildfire recovery efforts in Maui on Wednesday, made an apparent attempt to empathize with residents who will likely be displaced from their homes for quite some time, retelling a nearly 20-year-old story about a minor fire in his Delaware home that prevented him from being in the house for seven months.

President Biden appeared to joke in response to a question about Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell’s health scare and reelection potential Wednesday. Biden asked Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas if he “was running.”

A Springfield-Greene County Health Department employee has resigned citing harassment that he faced working in the public position as a gay man.

The employee, Aaron Schekorra, filed a police report Aug. 23 regarding the harassment he faced. According to police, Schekorra dropped his harassment complaint after resigning from his job the next day.

Is there more to this story?
