There is a lot to consider as we approach Election Day. Deb and Bill discuss several major things that are happening, including crime, inflation and economic issues, education, and some consequential elections.

We also discuss races in four states that might have national consequences.

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." ― Abraham Lincoln
