He also delves into the latest out of Kamala Harris's campaign.
Then, Dr. Wilmer Leon, a political scientist and commentator, provides insights into Hurricane Milton’s impact as it makes landfall as a Category 3 storm on Florida's west coast.
The second hour starts with David Tawil, financial expert and market analyst, discussing the unexpected drop in inflation to 2.4% in September, surpassing expectations. He breaks down the factors driving this increase and its potential impact on the economy.
