The Commission on Presidential Debates has announced there will be mic shutoffs during the 2nd debate between President Trump and former VP Joe Biden. Each candidate will have 2 minutes of uninterrupted time to answer the question presented to them while the other candidate has their mic shut off as to not have the same type of constant injecting as they did in the first debate. Each candidate will have an opportunity to respond after each 2 minutes is up. How do you feel about this move to shut off the mics? Do you think it's a good idea? VB shares his thoughts and hears yours.

CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin has been put on suspension from the New Yorker for exposing himself performing in a sexual act during a Zoom call that took place between New Yorker staffers and WNYC.

Do women not behave in the same way or are they smarter about it? Furthermore. is this type of behavior commonplace as BuzzFeed hinted at in their headlines today...?
