On today's episode of "Cail & Company LIVE" we welcome the shop owner, manager and employees of Sister Witch Company, located in Hooksett, NH. They chat about their "Witches Gala" event coming up on October 1st at the Puritan Backroom in Manchester, NH and a little bit about who they are and what the Craft Path entails.

Also, the tide turns in Ukraine. The big primaries today. And should Democrats try to keep Trump off the ballot?

Paul and veteran NH political reporter Kevin Landrigan break down the primary races in New Hampshire. Governor Chris Sununu faces a test of his strength with independents against three primary opponents. The Republican race for the US senate nomination has gotten hot and heavy. In the Spring Incumbent Maggie Hassan was seen as vulnerable. Now, Democrats are breathing easier. With the national parties spending millions, a late endorsement by the Governor, but without any endorsement from former President Trump. the Republicans appear poised to choose a bombastic MAGA conspiracy theorist as their candidate.

Several weeks ago, an NBC news poll found that the number one issue for Americans was not inflation, but the threat to democracy. Yet, despite American's clear concern, and despite Republican gaslighting about the supposed liberal bias of the media (hint, it's the opposite, as we cover in this episode), former Chicago Sun Times Editor Mark Jacob says that the stunning rise of fascist forces in America and the MAGA takeover of the Republican Party remains stunningly under-covered.

"The media is scared of telling the truth when it comes to horrible things happening in politics. Nobody was set up for this rise of fascism...and it is fascism. And also the willingness of the Republican party to cheat in elections and and try to overturn legitimate elections. It's just astounding to me is how the biggest story of our lifetime is sitting right in front of us...yet they're afraid to cover it."

Mark Jacob spent 41 years in daily newspapers, mostly in Chicago. He’s the former Sunday editor at the Chicago Sun-Times and former metro editor at the Chicago Tribune.

This week on Facing the Future, we talk to University of New Hampshire demographer Ken Johnson about the historically low growth in US population, thanks to a 14-year trend of declining fertility rates. It has major implications for future economic growth and the federal budget. Plus, we'll look at the latest inflation numbers, which went slightly higher in August after a decline the previous month.

On today's episode of, "Cail & Company LIVE," Ken has three special guests! Tom Raffio, President & CEO of Northeast Delta Dental, Becky Lewis, Director of Workforce Development at the Community College System of NH and we welcome back Anna Brown, Director of Research and Development at Citizens Count

Ken interviews NH State Police Detective Sergeant, Dick Perreault as he chats about the upcoming 30th Annual D.A.R.E. Classic 5k Race. Ken also interviews Stephen Guinan, Author of the book "We Are the Troopers: The Women of the Winningest Team in Pro Football History."

Time Magazine recently described Jesse Ferguson by saying that he "as been one of the quiet forces inside rooms where power has been negotiated, won, or ceded over the last two decades." He's one of the most sought-after messaging experts among Democrats, and he has a lot to say about the key thing that Democrats always seem to get wrong when talking to voters, and how to fix it (hint: there's an easy acronym to remember how...ABC-V). Matt and Jesse also cover how to make the Inflation Reduction Act resonate with voters, how the midterms are shaping up, and favorite stories from the campaign trail.
