Red October | Best 60ish Seconds

"It's 'Red October,'" says Charlie leading off this week's Best 60ish Seconds as the Philadelphia Phillies begin their postseason play today. Leaving the diamond for the debate stage, Charlie looks back on Tuesday's vice presidential debate. Although JD Vance missed one early opportunity, overall, "Vance completely dominated," argues Charlie applauding Vance's factual responses, clear approach, and display of strong leadership. Next, the conversation turns to foreign policy and Iran's attack on Israel. He highlights the importance of strength versus weakness, which is also an underlying tone in this year's presidential election. With the recent passings of both Dikembe Mutombo and Pete Rose, Charlie closes by noting not only Mutombo's NBA career but his humanitarian work. He also reflects on Pete Rose's remarkable career, calling for Rose's inclusion in the Hall of Fame given the irony of baseball's embrace of sports betting today.
