Join us for a live broadcast, with your hosts Barbara Boyd, Susan Kokinda and Adam Sturman. Thursday October 8th at 11am Eastern, 8am Pacific every Thursday. We take your questions from both the Youtube live chat and our Newsletter Subscribers!

This week: Trump's economic blitz, and why we're winning. Economics is the midterm issue. The campaign isn't four weeks out as wallpaper; the blitz is underway now. Iowa's planned $15B Mesabi mega mill, Alaska LNG plus the Beluga. Healy Railbelt line, Alabama's $3.2B I-10 Mobile River Bridge groundbreaking, Sparrows Point rebuilt for this century, set against Barbara's short tease: towns that lost their factories versus productive rebuild. Midterms decide which map wins.

On the board: pledges vs shovels, what's firm vs still being negotiated in Iowa and Korea/Alaska, Railbelt timelines (not before 2030), Sparrows Point as the image of building again, and how to talk re-industrialization with neighbors who only hear gas prices. Susan stays on the economic offensive. Midterms starting now.

Barbara Boyd and Susan Kokinda take your questions live. Bring what's on your mind.
