Show notes

With election day approaching, communications strategist and public opinion expert, Lee Hartley Carter, breaks down what national and state polls actually reveal about voter sentiment and economic anxieties.

She also shares key insights into voter exhaustion, how each side is struggling to address the affordability issue, and how AI is subtly shaping public opinions.

Cybercrime in the United States has reached record proportions, draining tens of billions of dollars from unsuspecting Americans. These aren't traditional computer hacks or firewall breaches, however. Fraudsters are using AI voice and image cloning to manipulate individuals. Chief Economist at the Heritage Foundation EJ Antoni joins the Rundown to breakdown how these scams act like businesses and why older Americans are losing thousands per incident.
