Summary
This episode covers a mid-air crisis on a Dubai-Tel Aviv flight where a pilot allegedly stabbed his co-pilot, forcing an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. It also reports on the completion of the U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq and slightly lower-than-expected August inflation figures. Additionally, the show examines a new poll on rural voters’ views of Trump’s health policies, a Tennessee court’s last-minute block of a woman’s execution, and the shifting EV and hybrid car market following the expiration of federal tax credits.
