In just two days, Americans will wake up to a stark reminder that they live in a nation divided: roughly half the country will have cast a ballot for a candidate whose vision for America is fundamentally different than their own choice. Ravi takes a step back to discuss this reality, reflecting on the deeply personal nature of political divides and emphasizing the importance of civility and empathy in the days ahead.
He then welcomes Iowa State Rep. J.D. Scholten to dive into the shocking new poll results from legendary Iowa pollster Ann Selzer. J.D. shares his take on what's driving independent and senior women to the polls, how economic and agricultural hardships have influenced rural voters, and what it all means for Election Day.

Ravi sits down with Doug Lemov to discuss the stark differences between the education systems in the United States and the United Kingdom. Doug shares insights from his recent work with schools in England, highlighting how embracing cognitive science and implementing evidence-based teaching practices has led to rapid improvements and the ways centralized decision-making in the U.K. has supported this transformation.
Ravi and Doug then discuss the reasons the U.S. education system remains fragmented and ideologically divided. They explore how this division has resulted in cultural resistance to effective educational reforms in the country and the implications lagging educational standards could have on societal progress and national security.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams was indicted Wednesday evening on five federal charges, including wire fraud, bribery, and solicitation of contributions from a foreign national. Ravi unpacks the 57-page indictment, which details allegations that Adams solicited and directed staffers to accept campaign donations from foreign officials and businesspeople over nearly a decade while receiving gifts, including free luxury international travel, in exchange for political favors.
Bradley Tusk then joins Ravi to analyze the charges and preview what New Yorkers can expect in the weeks ahead. They discuss the prosecutorial motives behind the case, why some conservatives claim the indictment is part of a conspiracy and some progressives want to shout “I told you so,” whether Adams should resign, and how his legal troubles could impact New York City’s upcoming mayoral race.
