Investigative journalist Matthew Cole joins host Molly Jong-Fast to dig into his new book, Princes and Thieves, and explains why he stands by his reporting even as Jared Kushner and his lawyer deny every allegation in it. He walks through Kushner's hidden White House diplomacy and a secret world of Gulf power politics involving the Dutch, the GRU, and access to Kushner's phone that allegedly led to discoveries about bank accounts tied to UAE and Saudi-linked money flows. He describes two accounts in the book: an "Alpha" account in the UAE that he says was a foreign-policy fund used for operations in places like Libya, with transfers including about $20 million to Erik Prince and $85 million to Khalifa Haftar, and a separate "Beta" account in Israel connected to coordination through David Friedman. Cole also argues that the accounts symbolize Kushner and Trump's alignment with authoritarian Gulf leaders and secret foreign policy, and that the reporting raises major questions about what was happening behind the scenes and how it may connect to the broader push toward war with Iran.

Still Counting's Clare Malone and Galen Druke join host Molly Jong-Fast to dig into early voting trends and what they might reveal about turnout and party strength. Galen explains how voting behavior has shifted since the pandemic and why low-propensity Democratic voters may be turning out at higher rates in places like Georgia, North Carolina and Texas, while Clare makes the case that this year feels different because voters are so engaged by issues like affordability, war and redistricting. They also unpack how candidates are trying to connect with "normal" voters, especially in states like Texas and Michigan, and what early results in Florida, North Carolina, Georgia, Iowa, Maine and Alaska could signal on election night. Then they turn to the headlines, from reporting that Brazil is investigating contacts tied to J.D. Vance's Rockbridge Network to Hasan Piker's defamation fight with Scott Jennings over edited clips, criticism of a controversial ad tied to Vivek Ramaswamy, the ongoing targeting of James Comey and Cassidy Hutchinson, and the legal fallout for James O'Keefe and an associate over a voter fraud stunt in Minnesota.
