In a recent poll, many Americans believe they can’t trust the mainstream media and that it’s a major threat to democracy. Gallup has more:  

At 34%, Americans' trust in the mass media to report the news "fully, accurately and fairly" is essentially unchanged from last year and just two points higher than the lowest that Gallup has recorded, in 2016 during the presidential campaign.

Just 7% of Americans have "a great deal" of trust and confidence in the media, and 27% have "a fair amount." Meanwhile, 28% of U.S. adults say they do not have very much confidence and 38% have none in newspapers, TV and radio. Notably, this is the first time that the percentage of Americans with no trust at all in the media is higher than the percentage with a great deal or a fair amount combined.

Congressional candidate, Tyler Lee, joins the program to discuss the important issues voters are facing as the midterms approach. 

Plus, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Head Coach Todd Bowles shares his thoughts on racism in the NFL.
