We may be approaching the spookiest day of the year, but it's the government that give grownups nightmares on all the rest of them. California isn't ordinarily a place where suspenseful midterms happen, though our first guest Lanhee Chen has something to say about that. Running to be the Golden State's top fiscal watchdog, he's getting dangerously close to becoming the boogeyman for California's bureaucratic spendthrifts. (Support his campaign here!)

Next we have John Yoo. Now that the Supreme Court has entered a new term, we revisit Dobbs and wonder about Moore v. Harper and The Students for Fair Admissions case against Harvard and UNC-Chapel Hill. Pork is also on the docket–and the McRib is in the news!–so John delivers an elegy on cuisine at its finest.
