Show Notes

• Today’s show is on politics. America’s presidential election is just a week away.

• Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton is embroiled in an e-mail scandal that could derail her bid for the presidency in this final week of the campaign. It’s an extraordinary development in a wild campaign season.

• How did we get here? Many American voters would like to cast a ballot for “none of the above.” How did the primaries produce such distasteful options, and what does it say about our political system?

• What is the state of American diplomacy? The current presidential administration has accelerated a trend undermining this crucial aspect of national power.

• And we’ll conclude the program by talking about a crucial lesson we need to take from this election.
