Manage episode 428598212 series 2542091
In the aftermath of the debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, money’s been talking.

We’ll get into what the funding freeze means for the future of Biden’s campaign. Plus, guest host Sabri Ben-Achour makes us smart about cricket protein powder. And we’ll play a round of Half Full/Half Empty!
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “Donors to Pro-Biden Super PAC Are Said to Withhold Roughly $90 Million” from The New York Times
- “Inside the glitzy Biden fundraiser that lost the president George Clooney” from The Washington Post
- “Silkworm satay? Singapore approves insects as food” from CNN
