Description

One month out from election day, Vice President Harris met with Arab American and Muslim Leaders backstage at a rally in battleground Michigan. Wa'el Alzayat, who attended the meeting, reveals to Victor what he told her the campaign needs to do to win back the community’s votes amid the violence in the Middle East.

 

Plus, the mother and stepfather of Tyre Nichols join Victor to share their reaction to the mixed verdict in the trial of three former Memphis police officers over his fatal beating.

 

Victor also speaks with Amber Thurman’s mother and her sisters, who reacted to her death being brought up during the Vice Presidential Debate as the candidates discussed abortion rights.

 

Later, Victor speaks to the CEO of the Recording Academy, Harvey Mason Jr., about the boost in diversity revealed this week among their voting members. He explains how it could bring major changes to which musical artists win Grammys starting next year.

 

And bird-watcher Christian Cooper weighs in on the debate among birders on the post-2020 push to change the names of birds who were named after enslavers, white supremacists, and even grave robbers.
