What are the pros and cons of being funny? Quick Takes: Winning Debates, School Subjects, and JJ McCarthey is back. Vice President Vance does not totally disapprove of the new political ad released by Vivek Ramaswamy and we find that very disagreeable.

He explains the piece and answers our questions about it. Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon joins the show to talk about the suspicious mail sent to his office, the indictment of foreign nationals voting illegally, and the security of the upcoming election.

    Winging it Wednesday: Jordana thinks Minnesota politicians should be nowhere near political commentator Hasan Piker but Representative Ilhan Omar and State Senator Omar Fateh will join him for a rally this weekend. Adam thinks there are more layers to this story of a St. Thomas student who made controversial comments in a viral video. Quick Takes: Fraud checks, airplane problems, and heroic spouses.

Vivek Ramaswamy releases one of the worst political ads we have ever seen. Retired U.S. Army Colonel Jeff McCausland joins the show to talk about the war between Ukraine and Russia.
