Trump Convention Speech, Missouri Contempt And Redistricting, Apple's Foldable iPhone
Summary
President Trump proposed a $5,000 cash giveaway to voters if Republicans retain Congress, a plan NPR analysts deem legally and logistically impossible. The episode also covers Missouri’s election official facing contempt charges for using a contested redistricting map, and Apple’s launch of its first foldable iPhone under new CEO John Ternus, which signals a strategic pivot toward on-device AI and premium hardware.
